Chapter: 2611

When He Yuanjiang spoke, he sighed and said, “Sometimes, the adult world is like this. Everyone gets along well, but because life takes us in different directions, we might not see each other for three to five years.”

Then, he looked serious and added, “Even though my love and I didn’t meet your mother often in later years, we still had a deep bond with her. We saw her as a close friend. It’s such a shame that someone as wonderful as she was left us too soon…”

Hearing this made Charlie Wade feel a wave of sadness. People around his parents often praised them, but he didn’t know much about their lives.

Charlie was just a second grader when his parents passed away. At that age, kids see the world in simple terms. He knew his parents loved him, but he didn’t really understand who they were as people.

Sometimes, Charlie envied Gu Qiuyi and her father, Gu Yanzhong. She had known her dad much longer than he had known his own. She understood her father better than he could understand his parents.

Now, he admired He Yuanjiang. It seemed like He knew his mother better than he did.

Noticing Charlie’s sad expression, He Yuanjiang stepped closer and patted him on the shoulder. “It’s been a long time, so try not to be sad about it anymore. Your mother had such a bright life over the past twenty years. We used to say that someone as good as her must have been needed in heaven, which is why she left us early.”

Charlie nodded slightly. When he thought of his parents, he felt sadness, but he also had…

Charlie felt a deep sense of regret in his heart. The biggest regret was not knowing enough about his parents’ lives.

He Yuanjiang smiled and asked, “So, how did you become the chairman of the Emgrand Group? Didn’t you return to the Ye family?”

Charlie sighed and replied, “I’ve lived in Jinling for nearly 20 years and spent four years as a son-in-law in the Xiao family. The Ye family only found me last year.”

He continued, “They gave me the Emgrand Group as a gift, along with 10 billion in cash as compensation. But honestly, it doesn’t mean much to me. I haven’t touched any of the Emgrand Group’s money yet. With the 10 billion, I first paid for the medical bills of my savior, bought a car, and got my wife a necklace. After that, I haven’t spent any of it.”

Charlie paused and sighed again. “I don’t want to rely on the Ye family’s money, but I have to admit that without their support, I might still be a worthless son-in-law, looked down upon by everyone.”

He Yuanjiang nodded and said, “You’ve been through so much. If your parents were still alive, you would be the richest person in the world. I don’t know your father personally, but I’ve heard about his accomplishments. The Ye family owes a lot of its success to your parents.”

He added, “I can say without a doubt that at least half of the Ye family’s current wealth comes from your parents. What they’ve given you is barely even a fraction of what you deserve.”

Charlie Wade shook his head, a bitter smile on his face. “It doesn’t matter anymore. I want to build my own world. I still don’t know if the Ye family was involved in my parents’ deaths. So, I need to become stronger than both the Ye family and the Su family in every way. That way, when I find out who killed my parents, I’ll be ready to make them pay.”
