Being Reborn And Starting Off By Not Being A Simp - Chapter 32

Chapter 32 Where Did My Brother Go?

Liu Qing was not a magnanimous person. He was actually quite angry that he had been wrongly accused of being a pervert who filmed people secretly. He had to hand over his phone for inspection to prove his innocence and only got to reprimand the accuser in return. He did not feel that he had sufficiently avenged himself yet.

However, he also knew what kind of world he lived in now. Women’s rights was the politically correct thing. No matter how angry he was, he could not fight with the other party.

If he really did not want to let go of it, not only would women scold him, but so would other men.

“How can a grown man like you argue with a woman?”

“Don’t you know how scary it is for a man to stare at a girl in a confined space?”

“Can’t you be sympathetic?”

“Are you still a man?”

“Not magnanimous at all!”

“Look, fellow sisters, this is a creep!”

If the incident was posted online, then he would die a social death.

Only magic could defeat magic.

Only a woman could suppress another woman.

It was not convenient for a man like him to do it, but it would be very convenient for Ding Yun.

Ding Yun was a woman and also the chairwoman of this company. Wouldn’t it be easy for her to suppress a little secretary who bullied her son?

He told Ding Yun about how he got into the elevator and was later slandered by Feng Zhixuan as someone who secretly filmed women.

After Ding Yun heard the story, she asked him a question first.

“Did you do it or not?”

Liu Qing felt very helpless. “No, I didn’t. Although I’m not very educated, I understand the principles of being a good person. I’m not that boorish.”

When he said the words “not very educated”, Ding Yun’s eyes flashed with guilt.

She knew exactly why her son had very little education.

She wanted to avenge her son, but she was worried that Liu Qing was lying. This would affect her reputation in the company.

Therefore, she said to Geng Xia, who was following behind, “Go to the surveillance room and pull out the surveillance footage of my son and that Feng person in the elevator. Record it for me.”

Geng Xia acknowledged the instruction and went off.

Ding Yun said to Liu Qing, “Although I’m the chairwoman of this company, I still have to be reasonable and I must be able to show evidence. As long as there’s evidence to prove that you were wronged, I’ll avenge you.”

Liu Qing smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter whether I’m avenged or not. It’s not really a big deal. I just feel that there’s something wrong with that secretary’s personality. It’s fine if she treats me that way but if a major client gets that treatment, it’ll be a big problem.”

Ding Yun shook her head. “What she did to you is not fine. You’re my son, and you were slandered on your first day at the company. As your mother, if I don’t stand up for you, what kind of standing will we have in this company in the future?”

As she spoke, she opened the door to her office.

The office was quite large and luxuriously decorated.

It was just an office but there were even professional fitness equipment installed there.

There was even a bedroom inside where she could sleep if she got tired.

Before this, Liu Qing had only seen the office space of the property management company at the Jiayi apartment complex. There were only a few small rooms and more than 10 people working inside. The area of that office space was not even half the size of this office.

There was no way to compare the setup of the two offices.

Ding Yun asked Liu Qing to take a seat. She sat opposite him, with a coffee table between them.

The coffee table and chairs were made of mahogany. It was very expensive furniture but not the most comfortable.

Liu Qing thought to himself, “If I become the owner of this office in the future, I’ll change all the chairs into sofas and the coffee table into a glass one.”

As he was fantasizing, he heard Ding Yun ask him, “You’ve also interacted with that girl from the Su family. What do you think of her?”

Liu Qing tried to probe further, “Are you talking about my younger half-sister?”

Ding Yun pulled a face. “She’s not your younger sister.”

“Then she’s my elder half-sister?” Liu Qing asked in surprise. “I can’t tell that she’s already so old.”

Ding Yun said unhappily, “She’s not your elder sister either. She’s not related to you by blood. Why are you acknowledging her as family?”

Liu Qing nodded to indicate his understanding of Ding Yun’s attitude. He gave an awkward reply.

“I thought she’s your stepdaughter.”

“No,” Ding Yun said. “After her parents divorced, she lived with her mother. She never called me mom, and I never wanted this daughter.”

It looked like the two of them were on bad terms.

Liu Qing was puzzled. “Then why did you make her the vice president of the company?”

“Her father appointed her,” Ding Yun said irritatedly. “It has only been 35 days since her father died. Although I’m the chairwoman of the company, it’s still inappropriate for me to remove her from her position so quickly. Moreover, the few investment cases that she headed had earned money for the company so there’s no excuse to remove her.”

Liu Qing nodded and suddenly remembered something very important. “Then… did she also inherit half of the shares of this company?”

“5%,” Ding Yun said.

From her tone, it was not hard to tell that she was very unhappy with Su Qi inheriting 5% of the company’s shares.

Liu Qing was a little surprised. The amount seemed a little low

He asked further, “Then how much did you inherit?”

Ding Yun replied, “Her father owned 60% of Tianyuan Group’s shares. He gave 5% to that girl and the rest to me.”

Liu Qing felt a lot more relieved.

With 55% of the shares, they had the majority rights and did not have to worry about others taking away their rights. At the same time, he felt a little uncomfortable as he spoke to her.

“That former chairman seemed to treat you well.”

Ding Yun sneered. “Treat me well? Hehe.”

Liu Qing was puzzled. “He gave you the majority share, and even gave his biological daughter less than a tenth of what he gave you. Isn’t that considered good?”

“Hehe. In his previous arrangement, he didn’t leave me any shares at all,” Ding Yun said.

“Then how did it become like this?” Liu Qing did not understand.

There was a flash of hatred in Ding Yun’s eyes, and a tinge of sorrow. She was silent for a moment, then she suddenly sighed.

“Originally, you had a younger brother. A half-brother.”

Liu Qing was stunned for a moment before he understood what Ding Yun meant.

What it meant was after she married Su Yi, they had a son.

Although he knew that it was something normal, he still felt very uncomfortable.

“That old thing said many times that when he dies, his inheritance will be split equally between his son and his daughter. As his wife, I won’t get anything.”

At this, Ding Yun sneered again.

“Hehe, this arrangement was not wrong. When I’m married, I depend on my husband. When my husband dies, I depend on my son. Although he didn’t leave me any inheritance, he left my son one and I can still live a luxurious life by depending on my son.”

Looking at the matter logically, Liu Qing felt that there was nothing wrong with the distribution of the inheritance in that manner. He just did not understand why it became distributed in the current manner in the end.

Furthermore, where did his half-brother go?

He raised his question.

“Your brother is dead,” Ding Yun said in a low voice. “He was run over by the car driven by that girl’s mother as he was coming out of the school gates.”
