Chapter 969: The Fan Brothers
Chapter 969: The Fan Brothers
"Going to work in Hong Kong?" Huang Erhe looked at his younger brother with surprise.
Huang Xiaochuan countered, "What's wrong with that? I remember your company has a branch in Hong Kong, right? And even if you don't have a branch, there are many other state-owned enterprises in Hong Kong. If all else fails, just resign from your government jobs, and I'll arrange some work for you and your sister-in-law in Hong Kong."
Taking his family to Hong Kong was no small matter, and Huang Erhe began to hesitate again.
Huang Xiaochuan could tell from his brother's expression. He patiently advised, "Besides, the house in Hong Kong is readily available, and the school arrangements are easy to make. The most important thing right now is to give Maowa a change of environment. As for his mother, you can find an opportunity to explain it to him after you go to Hong Kong. You can also take him to visit her during the winter and summer vacations. Changing the environment doesn't mean they have to sever their mother-son relationship."
It must be said that Huang Xiaochuan's suggestion was quite reasonable.
However, this was a big deal, and Huang Erhe couldn't make up his mind right away.
"Let me think about this. Besides, I need to discuss it with your sister-in-law."
Huang Xiaochuan was very understanding: "We should discuss it properly. Anyway, here's my suggestion. Just let me know when you've thought it through, and I'll take care of the rest."
Having said his piece, Huang Xiaochuan prepared to leave.
"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. I'm going back now."
"Then I'll see you off." Huang Erhe also stood up and offered to see you off.
Huang Xiaochuan waved his hand: "Alright, I'm not an outsider, there's nothing to give you. Go back and have a good talk with your sister-in-law tonight."
When Huang Erhe returned to the room, Cheng Jing, who had just put her youngest daughter to sleep, asked softly, "Your brother is gone?"
Huang Erhe nodded: "Mm!"
After thinking for a moment, he said to Cheng Jing, "Go to the study, I have something to tell you."
Cheng Jing knew that something important must have happened. She glanced at her sleeping daughter and nodded.
After arriving at the study, Huang Erhe told Cheng Jing everything, including his younger brother's suggestion.
Cheng Jing hadn't expected things to turn out this way. Deep down, she didn't want to leave Shanghai at all, but she couldn't say anything for the time being and could only respond with silence.
Seeing Cheng Jing's attitude, Huang Erhe could guess what was going on, and he was somewhat annoyed.
About a week later, while Huang Erhe was at work, the security guard called him.
"Minister Huang, two people have arrived at the door. They say they are your relatives, surnamed Fan."
Upon hearing this, Huang Erhe knew that his two former brothers-in-law had arrived.
He steadied himself and said to the security guard on the phone, "Okay, I'll be right there."
When Huang Erhe arrived at the gate, he immediately recognized the two people who had come to see him. They were Fan Yingyong and Fan Yingwu, the two older brothers of his ex-wife Fan Yingrong.
It had been several years since they last met, and both of them looked quite plump and travel-worn, as if they had come directly to him after arriving in Shanghai.
Upon seeing Huang Erhe, the two forced smiles and reached out to shake his hand.
"Erhe!"
Huang Erhe nodded and shook hands with his two former brothers-in-law as a courtesy.
"Big brother, second brother, when did you arrive?"
After carefully examining his former brother-in-law, Fan Yingyong said, "Erhe, you're doing pretty well now. Your company must be huge."
Huang Erhe smiled but didn't reply. Instead, he asked, "What brings you here today?"
The Fan brothers exchanged a glance, and Fan Yingwu sighed, "Erhe, we're relatives after all. You should know about my younger sister's situation, right?"
Huang Erhe did not deny this: "The police have contacted me several times and asked me about some things, but I don't actually know the specifics, since I've been divorced from her for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Fan Yingyong said with great distress, "You know my sister. She believes whatever others say. Those swindlers must have figured this out, otherwise how could she have fallen for it?"
Fan Yingwu then said, "Erhe, we are completely unfamiliar with this place, and you are the only person we know. Besides, you and Xiaomei were originally husband and wife. Now that she is in trouble, you can't just stand by and watch her die! Moreover, she is the biological mother of your son Maowa."
"Every country has its laws, and every family has its rules. She violated the national law, which is beyond my control." Huang Erhe looked at his two former brothers-in-law with a helpless expression.
The Fan brothers were not deterred by Huang Erhe's words. Fan Yingwu said, "Erhe, you're being a bit too modest. We know your family's situation. Who is your brother Huang Xiaochuan? He's Asia's richest man, a famous economist, and has connections with political figures from many countries. If he can just show up, my sister's matter can definitely be resolved peacefully."
Huang Erhe shook his head: "You all overestimate my brother. He's just an ordinary businessman and scholar. How could he possibly interfere with the judiciary? Besides, Fan Yingrong is involved in a criminal case with a huge amount of money involved and many victims. This is not something that can be easily dismissed with a few words."
Seeing that her ex-brother-in-law was unmoved, Fan Yingyong became somewhat angry: "You can't say that. Our parents know about my sister's situation. My father was so angry that he had a heart attack. When we came here, he was still in the hospital. Our Fan family is a respectable family in the county. If my sister is really sentenced, where will our family's face be?"
Huang Erhe remained silent, not responding.
The Fan brothers exchanged glances again, and this time it was Fan Yingwu's turn: "Erhe, you should at least help your little sister for Maowa's sake. Maowa is still young. If he finds out his biological mother is in jail, how will he ever be able to hold his head up again!"
Huang Erhe couldn't help but think of what his younger brother had said to him a while ago, and it really came true. But this also made him make up his mind.
Huang Erhe calmly addressed his two former brothers-in-law, saying, "Brothers, let me reiterate: I have been divorced from your sister for many years. Legally speaking, there is no longer any relationship between us, and I have done everything within the legal framework that I should do."
Fan Yingyong glared angrily at Huang Erhe.
Huang Erhe stared directly into Fan Yingyong's eyes, completely open and honest.
Just then, a man ran out of the office building, panting, and approached Huang Erhe: "The boss is looking for you, Minister Huang."
Huang Erhe glanced gratefully at his secretary, then said to the Fan brothers, "Excuse me, I must take my leave."
After saying that, he walked towards the office building.
The Fan brothers were powerless to stop Huang Erhe and could only watch helplessly as he left.
