167, Misplaced Life

"Jibei, you've seen our son today, right? He looks exactly like you when you were young, and his nose is exactly the same as my brother's."

Even when she went to bed at night, Yu Tong was still a little excited. She couldn't help but want to talk. She didn't care whether others could hear it or not. As long as she said it, she felt comfortable.

"You said that I haven't taken care of that child for more than 20 years, but when I first saw it, I felt kind to that face. Do you think this is the wonder of blood relationship? I don't know who it was back then. It was a mistake made by a careful nurse, otherwise we would not be in this situation now."

Speaking of this new son, Yu Tong was looking forward to but also nervous. Although the other party rejected the request to move back home, from the current point of view, giving the other party some time is a more appropriate approach.

"It's all my fault that I was too careless. I never thought of reading the inspection report in these years. The people below always said that no problems were found and left it alone."

Yu Tong also complained to himself that if this incident had been discovered early, the harm to the child would have been less, but now even though he is aware of it, the subsequent problems are not small.

Jin Yu has already begun to take charge of the company's affairs. Investors and shareholders are very optimistic about him, the next generation successor carefully cultivated by the Yan Yu family. But now that such an incident has occurred, it is obvious that Jin Yu's position is a bit embarrassing. .

Whether to stick to the previous plan or to start cultivating one's own flesh and blood again is a big question. If it is not handled well, it may make both children sad. Just thinking about it makes Yu Tong's head big. .

In the early years, the Yan family did not have the habit of physical examination at all. In the eyes of the older generation, the hospital was an unlucky place. Who would go to the hospital if they were not sick or in pain? Nowadays, people are more particular about it, and some problems are indeed serious. Early treatment leads to better health, so we have a schedule of physical examinations at home.

Yu Tong calculated that it seemed that it was his son's first physical examination when he was ten years old. If he had discovered it at that time, there would have been a chance to correct it as soon as possible. At that time, it would have been too late to train A Chu.

"I don't blame you. The physical examination report is sent to me every year, and I have never even read it."

Yan Jibei's pupils shrank and he said calmly.

"Both of us were so careless."

Yu Tong had no doubt at all. She was the kind of person who never read physical examination reports. She had no doubt at all about what Yan Jibei said.

"Tell me, how should Jin Yu, A Chu, and the company deal with the current situation?"

Yu Tong is now on her own, but she still habitually looks to her husband for advice on some important decisions.

Children raised by themselves are definitely closer, but the other side is always their biological child, and Chinese people have always valued blood relationships the most. Yu Tong thought that if possible, her husband's company would be left to her biological son, and hers would be left to her. For the adopted son, it is also full of affection.

But the main question is, can his own son Ah Chu be able to carry the Yan family?

"Everything we have is naturally left to our son."

Yan Jibei said without thinking: "Ah Chu has never learned anything, but if he can get into Yanjing University with his own efforts, he will definitely not be stupid. If he doesn't know how, we will teach him." It is always possible to maintain success for twenty years. If he really cannot be supported, we will train the next generation. The family's property must always remain in the hands of our own people. "

The husband's choice was expected by Tong. Men always value blood inheritance more than women. Jin Yu is not her husband's son. Even if he agrees, the old man in the family will not allow him to pass on the property to outsiders, even if it is The grandson he loved for so many years.

"But Jin Yu him..."

Yu Tong wondered if this would be too unfair to his adopted son.

"Don't worry, the industry can't be given to him, but we can subsidize him more financially. We have trained him for more than 20 years. Don't you know what he is capable of? As long as he has our help, he can always create a business by himself. It belongs to its own industry.”

Yan Jibei thought to himself that he had occupied the magpie nest for so many years, and the things he had given him were enough. This son was not born according to his expectations.

"Jin Yu has a strong self-esteem. If we give him Yan Yu's family's property, he may not be willing to accept it. On the other hand, we owe A Chu the child for more than 20 years, and he may not be happy to see it. We will hand over the family property to Jin Yu. You don’t want to see the two children feeling dissatisfied. In this case, just do as I say. "

Yan Jibei's analysis was clear and coherent, and Yu Tong thought about the same reason.

Now it's a problem with the palms and backs of my hands. It hurts wherever I hit, so I can only try to find a balance between the two children.

"But what if Ah Chu can't learn?" Not everyone is born to be a businessman. Yu Tong still remembers the first day when he saw his son, Fang, come out of the laboratory with black eyes.

According to her investigation, the child liked biochemistry very much and had already made a name for himself in this field at a young age. As long as he was given time, he might become a master in this field.

Yu Tong didn't know if he was willing to give up his favorite career and take over the Yan family and the Yu family's company according to the path they arranged for him, so that it would be counterproductive and bore the children instead.

"Let Ah Chu try it first. He is our son and is always the best."

Yan Jibei comforted his wife, thinking about his son's cold attitude towards him when they parted today, he always felt that the child's eyes were a little bit worried.

*****

It was quiet at night, Yu Tong had already fallen asleep, Yan Jibei tossed and turned, and finally got up and went to the study.

When he was young, he didn't mind smoking and drinking. Now he is old, because of the business, he can't quit drinking, but he hasn't smoked for a long time.

For some reason, Yan Jibei's addiction to smoking is particularly strong today, and his throat is itchy.

He found a pack of cigarettes that used to be in the drawer, turned on a small desk lamp on the desk, lit a cigarette, and took a deep puff.

Perhaps because he hadn't smoked for too long, he choked his spleen and lungs by smoking too fast, and he kept coughing and tears.

There are three study rooms in the house, belonging to the three owners of the house, and they don't interfere with each other. Yan Jibei's study has a safe, and Yu Tong has never asked about the password of the safe. Anyway, there are some valuables or confidential documents of the company here, and she is too lazy to ask.

Yan Jibei opened the safe, and there were several thick yellow paper bags inside. He opened them and saw that they were filled with information about the three members of the Zhang family.

In fact, he was the first person to know that his son was taken away by mistake. When the whole family had their first physical examination, the final report was handed over to him.

At that time, Yan Jibei's first reaction was that the child was taken away by mistake, but after investigating, he found that there was a bigger problem.

The child was taken away by mistake, and it was indeed a woman who did it on purpose. The one who was swapped was still his son.

The matter between Yan Jibei and Lin Fang was an accident. He couldn't tell what his mentality was at that time. It might be the irritability of his career starting and everything going wrong, or it might be the common mentality of men who always feel that a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a secret lover.

It is certain that he only loves Yu Tong in his life, and he doesn't think that he didn't fall in love again when he was young, and he can fall in love with a second woman at this age.

On the day he had sex with Lin Fang, he was negotiating a big deal. As long as he succeeded, his company would be able to gain a foothold in Yanjing. At that time, no one was optimistic about him, and he also wanted his father and his father-in-law to see which decision he, Yan Jibei, made was not correct.

At that time, he was young and full of energy. He couldn't help but feel a little proud after the deal was concluded. In addition, he drank a little more wine. Under the instigation of other friends, he took a young-looking girl and went directly to the upper level of the hotel.

Yan Jibei thought that it was really the most wrong decision he had made in his life. If there hadn't been that impulse, there would have been nothing that happened afterwards.

After that absurd night, he sobered up from the wine and the person.

It was true that Yan Jibei liked Yu Tong. He was afraid that Yu Tong would know that he had betrayed her. From childhood to adulthood, she couldn't tolerate a grain of sand in her eyes. If this matter was exposed, their marriage would come to an end.

Some excitement, but it's just that after you really try it. Yan Jibei didn't think that the fresh girl that so many men like is more attractive than Yu Tong. He gave the girl who spent the night with him that night a sum of money and asked her to keep the secret and not come to him again.

Then, Yu Tong became pregnant. Yan Jibei was ecstatic when he learned the news. From then on, he really became a model husband praised by everyone and never did anything to let his wife down.

He took what happened that night as a lesson and warning. Whenever there was a different temptation, he thought about whether he could bear the pain of losing Yu Tong, and his heart faded.

Ten years later, Yan Jibei almost forgot what happened that night until he found out about his son Yan Jinyu's blood type and found Lin Fang.

His first reaction at the time was that he wanted to kill that woman.

His and Yu Tong's biological son was actually replaced by that woman, and the illegitimate son she gave birth to took the position where his son should have stood.

Yan Jibei never thought that such an inconspicuous woman would have such courage and ambition.

But after the rage, he became timid. Seeing his wife's love for the illegitimate child, he dared not imagine how Yu Tong would react if the incident broke out.

Hysterical, grief-stricken, there would be no other ending except divorce.

Because of timidity and reluctance, he concealed the fact and watched his and Yu Tong's son call that woman mother and a strange man father.

And in front of Yu Tong, he had to play the role of a strict father and try his best to train another child.

Before this, Yan Jibei also loved Yan Jinyu sincerely, but after knowing the truth, even if he knew that the child was innocent and he and Lin Fang were the ones who did the wrong thing, he could not feel sorry for him. Looking at him, he would think of his and Yu Tong's son. He could only train him as a capable subordinate and could no longer invest any true feelings.

On the other hand, Yan Jibei secretly gave Zhang Guoqing a little help. According to his ability, he might have been a small employee for his whole life. He used his personal power to make him the deputy general manager, and the salary he earned was enough for the whole family to live a normal life.

It’s not that he doesn’t want Zhang Guoqing to climb higher, but with his ability, this position is already the limit. If he can climb higher, it will be a blessing rather than a curse.

In addition, knowing that his son's math grades were poor, he found a special teacher, and then had someone leak a secret to Zhang Guoqing. It was natural that he saw that the other party had registered for his son. The teacher took the money, and he would focus on Ah Chu.

He didn't believe Lin Fang, that woman, but Zhang Guoqing was indeed an honest and loyal man. As long as he was there, he didn't have to worry about any problems with his son's education. Moreover, according to the investigation, his son admired Lin Fang very much. He thought that maybe Lin Fang was still good to his son, and maybe it was also a compensation for his guilty conscience.

Now it is a legal society. Hiring a killer to kill will always leave traces. Standing in his position, any slight movement will be noticed, so he finally resisted the impulse to have someone kill Lin Fang, and didn't dare to take care of Yan Chu too much.

Yan Jibei knew that he had made mistakes again and again. One more step forward would be the abyss, but he had no way out.

He took a puff of cigarette, and the tears that had just choked out had already dried on his face. He was so tight that he felt his face was tightened when he slightly pulled the corners of his mouth.

People really can't make mistakes. Now that half of the truth has been exposed, Yan Jibei can't tell whether he is relieved or sad.

In fact, he has been prepared for today's arrival.

If he really wants to keep this secret, he should cut off the chance of people discovering Yan Jinyu's life experience from the source. He never thought of asking the hospital to modify Yan Jinyu's blood type and previous physical examination files. Perhaps it is because he is waiting, waiting for one day, all this will be discovered.

The cigarette burned out, and the study was filled with smoke. Yan Jibei put the cigarette butt on the groove of the artwork used as a decoration. Now what he has to do is to make Lin Fang shut up.

Maintaining the status quo is the best.

******

The patriarchs of the Yan and Yu families are already in their eighties, especially Grandpa Yan, who was injured on the battlefield in the early years and has been living a hard life these years.

Yan Jibei's elder brother Yan Congnan has not yet climbed to the position of the old man, so he has not completely established his foothold in the military. No one would bother the old man unless there was something very serious, for fear that he would be so angry that he would ruin his already poor body.

Now that the old man is alive, that is a deterrent. Others will help Yan Congnan a little for his sake. If the old man is gone, death is like the extinguishing of a lamp, and the original relationships will also go with the old man.

The grandson of the Yan family reported the wrong thing, which is a big deal, but who dares to let the old man know about such a thing? Wouldn't that mean that the old man's life is too long? Similarly, the Yu family is in the same situation, so the peers in the family have been notified, but the elders are kept in the dark.

Yan Congnan and his wife, Yu Jinjiang and his wife, are now at Yan Jibei's house, discussing how to deal with this matter.

After all, this is also related to the face of the two families, and also to the company's stock price. Some things were not clear on the phone before, so when they met, they asked about the cause of the matter clearly.

"This is just too much of a coincidence."

Yu Jinjiang looked at the photo his sister gave him. His nephew who was taken away by mistake turned out to be a good friend of his son. At that time, he was amazed at his appearance. He turned out to be his own nephew.

Yu Tong didn't know about this yet. After listening to her elder brother, she knew that her son and her nephew had known each other for a long time and were very good friends.

She also felt that this might be fate. Otherwise, why would it be so coincidental that her brother was transferred to Pinghai, and why would it be so coincidental that her son became friends with his cousin whom he had never met.

"So Jin Yu is the son of that couple?" Yu Jinjiang looked at the photos of Zhang Guoqing and Lin Fang and asked his sister.

"Well, the paternity test has been done."

Yu Tong nodded. If there was no paternity test, she would not have informed them so confidently.

Yu Jinjiang was silent for a long time: "Have you found out how the children were mistaken? Was it intentional by the couple?"

It's not that he is a mean person, but the conditions of the two families are very different. How could it be so coincidental that the two children were exchanged?

He couldn't help but look at his brother-in-law. Jin Yu's eyes were too similar to his.

But looking at his frank appearance, plus his love for his sister over the years, Yu Jinjiang felt that he was thinking too much. Some experts said that people also have auras, just like husband and wife, after a long time together, they will start to look alike. Maybe Jin Yu is such a case.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Yu Jinjiang first asked about the past.

"It's unlikely. When I gave birth, no one in the hospital knew about our family situation. Besides, the Zhang family is not in a bad situation. Why would they exchange their own child for someone else's?"

Yu Tong shook her head: "It's just that the camera and the Internet were not popular at that time, and the nurses were very mobile. It will take some time to find the nurses in the nursery at that time. The truth at that time may not be found out."

She now hates the person who exchanged the wrong children between their two families. If it weren't for this matter, she wouldn't have to worry so much now.

"What do you think?"

Yan Congnan didn't mention how the child was exchanged, but asked what they planned to do now that they knew the child was exchanged.

Yu Tong repeated what Yan Jibei had said last night. This solution was considered appropriate, but the biggest problem was whether Yan Chu could bear this responsibility. After all, he was different from Yan Jinyu and had received corresponding education since childhood.

"Let's keep this news secret for now, at least until you are sure that the child has this ability."

After Mr. Yan retired from the world, Yan Congnan was the de facto head of the Yan family, and Yan Jibei listened to him.

"If this news gets out, the old men will not be able to keep it secret. What will happen at that time is also something that everyone does not want to see. And the company has changed its heir all of a sudden, and the stock price is volatile, and shareholders will also be worried."

When Yan Congnan was young, he was stationed in the Northeast. He did not have much deep feelings for his nephew. He loved him only because his surname was Yan and he was his younger brother's son. Now he is not, so this love will naturally change to another object.

It's not that he is heartless. There are many people in the big family who are more heartless than him. Personal feelings are nothing in front of family interests.

"But what if Ah Chu doesn't want to take over the company, or doesn't have the ability?" Yu Tong couldn't help asking. If so, would she never publicly acknowledge her son for the rest of her life?

"Jin Yu has been fostered for more than 20 years, and you have feelings for him. Even as an adopted son, he can have a share of the company's shares."

Yan Congnan said meaningfully. His meaning was very clear. If Yan Chu couldn't manage the company, he would let Yan Jin Yu manage it and give him some shares, but the majority must be in the hands of the Yan family, that is, in the hands of Yan Chu.

As long as Yan Jin Yu is a grateful person, he should know what to do.

"But if Ah Chu is really hopeless, at least before the old man dies, this news must be kept secret."

After hearing what Yan Congnan said, Yu Jinjiang frowned, wondering if the other party's approach was too unkind, but thinking about the situation of his old man and the possible reaction after learning the truth, he didn't say anything.

The younger generation was not allowed to be present, and the atmosphere of the six people in the room suddenly fell silent.

Before Yu Jinjiang left, he specifically asked his sister for a copy of the Zhang family's information. Yan Jibei noticed the other party's actions and his eyes were calm.

Yu Jinjiang, who had been secretly watching him, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He was not nervous or guilty. Perhaps he had just thought too much.

*****

"How is it?"

In the biological laboratory of Yanjing University, a group of old professors gathered around an experimental instrument and talked excitedly.

"It succeeded. This method is feasible."

All people who study chemistry know that in order to make complex organic materials, carbon atoms need to be gathered together through various chemical reactions. Carbon atoms themselves are very stable and not easy to react chemically. If you want the properties of carbon atoms to be more active, so as to produce more complex organic matter, you often need to use a lot of useless substances.

The concept of "palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction" proposed by Yan Chu before solved this problem. Connecting carbon atoms and palladium atoms together for chemical reactions can produce complex compounds more accurately and effectively.

This discovery has a huge impact on global scientific research, pharmaceutical production, and the electronics industry. The old professors can almost imagine how much attention this theory and scientific research results will attract once they are publicized, not only domestically, but also internationally.

"You are a genius."

The old professors wondered what they were doing at the age of 23?

Looking at the still calm boy, they couldn't help but have a premonition that the biochemistry community in China would be in turmoil because of this still immature boy in front of them.
