The Taming of the Ruffian Hero

Chapter 177 (My Name Is Chen Yuanxi!) Lin Wenxi Changes His Name After Returning to the Chens

When Zhao Yuan learned what had happened to Lin Wenxi, he was still in Tianfu County to deal with the aftermath. He went to Yangzi County in a hurry, but because Chen Wanxin’s apartment was heavily guarded, he did not find a chance to get in.

Zhao Yuan and Zheng Kai stayed outside the apartment for two days before they finally saw two luxurious cars approaching. When from afar Zhao Yuan saw Lin Wenxi, whom he had not seen for such a long time, he rushed out recklessly. Zheng Kai failed to stop him, so he had to follow.

“Zhao Yuan, did you come to visit me, or someone else?” Chen Wanxin opened the sunroof and asked loudly.

Lin Wenxi kept silent in the back seat.

“Wenxi, how are you doing?” Zhao Yuan stood in front of the car and asked anxiously.

The window rolled down, revealing Chen Tianjiao’s cold face to Zhao Yuan.

“He is the murderer who killed Wenxi’s dad!” Zhao Yuan thought. He had seen Chen Tianjiao’s photos in the newspapers but never met him in person. Recalling what Hong Xuan had said, he clenched his fists tightly.

Lin Wenxi seemed to have seen through Zhao Yuan. He raised his head slightly and said, “Zhao Yuan, this is my dad, Chen Tianjiao.” He was cold, lifeless, and emotionless as he spoke. “Is he really Lin Wenxi, the person I miss so much?”

“Wenxi, how are you doing?” Zhao Yuan asked with a hoarse voice.

Lin Wenxi nodded with a faint smile and answered. “You know how I had been at the Lins. Although I’m a stranger here, I’m getting by.”

Chen Tianjiao smiled and turned his head and asked, “Only getting by?”

“Dad, of course you’ve been good to me,” Lin Wenxi said with a faint smile. Looking at Zhao Yuan, he said, “Yuan, go back to the university. I’m good. That’s enough.”

“Out of nowhere like lightning! Really? His father?”

When the window was rolled up halfway, Zhao Yuan suddenly reached out to stop it.

Chen Tianjiao could not help but get angry. “Young man, do you want to make trouble?” He shouted.

Zhao Yuan held on to the window and refused to let go. Chen Tianjiao ordered the driver to move forward.

He reached out and grabbed Zhao Yuan’s hand while the driver immediately released the brake.

He pried Zhao Yuan’s fingers from the window one by one with his cold hand. Zhao Yuan deeply felt that he cared only about himself.

Seeing them moving away, Zhao Yuan immediately started the motorcycle he had rented. With a roar of the motor, it rushed out like an arrow flying from the bow.

“Wenxi, come with me!” Zhao Yuan weaved through the crowd, and soon, several policemen on motorbikes were following him. Meanwhile, Chen Tianjiao asked his driver to speed up and leave him behind.

“Don’t come to me again. I’m a member of the Chens. Yuan, take care!” Zhao Yuan received Lin Wenxi’s message as he left the traffic police brigade. He was speechless as he stared at the short text message.

The Chens were on their way to the countryside to hold a ceremony. The news of the return of Chen Tianjiao’s son should not have caused such a stir, but this son had been raised for nineteen years by Lin Ziwei, his enemy. It made everyone in the family a bit worried.

The ceremony was grand, and because the Chens were powerful enough to manipulate the media, no news of the ceremony came out, and this big event only circulated from ear to ear.

As soon as Chen Tianjiao announced that Chen Yuanxi was his long-lost son, some elders of the family objected. Their reason was simple: since Lin Wenxi’s surname was Lin and he had been raised by Chen Tianjiao’s political opponent, Chen Tianjiao should not let him return to the Chens openly. Some others who were not so extreme thought that since Chen Tianjiao and Lin Wenxi were related by blood, Lin Wenxin should be taken as a member of the Chens. However, Chen Tianjiao should never give the Chens’ business to his son.

Because most elders of the family were against it, even though Chen Tianjiao had made sufficient preparation, he still felt embarrassed and angry.

Chen Tianjiao turned his head and looked at his wife, Deng Yifei. Deng Yifei then stood up and emotionally said, with tears flowing and nose running, that although her daughter was as capable as a man, she was still a girl. She only hoped that her daughter would lead a simple life, and she was relieved that her husband’s son would take over the family business. She was happy for her daughter as well.

Everyone could sense her deep love for her daughter based on her words. They were so moved. It also inspired the maternal love of a small group of female members of the family, and they could not agree more with her. To ease the worry of some people that Lin Wenxi and Chen Wanxin might not get on well with each other, Deng Yifei explained that the two of them had studied in the same university for two years, and they were as close as brothers and sisters. Fate had brought their relationship further, and they became real siblings, so both Lin Wenxi and her daughter were lucky.

Chen Wanxin then said that she loved her brother very much and that she would like him to be a member of her family. However, the stubborn family members continued to oppose them, and the family was almost on the verge of war! Mo Qian remained calm. He immediately ordered several dozen people to surround the place. The situation was serious enough to alarm even the military of the town.

Amidst the chaos, Lin Wenxi coldly watched what was going on.

He was in the middle of a dilemma.

But it was as if he could see through everyone as his gaze swept over the people in the hall.

He stood up and shouted. Both sides became quiet. He then raised his head and spoke in an extremely cold voice, piercing every corner of the hall.

“I have changed my name. My current name is Chen Yuanxi. ‘Xi’ means ‘first rays of the morning sun.’ Since my dad is God’s favored one, I should be as excellent as him. After nineteen years, I have returned to my hometown and have become a member of the Chens, which is connected to me by blood. If anyone calls me ‘Lin Wenxi’ again, this will be a sign of disrespect and an insult to my father, Chen Tianjiao!” He paused for a while, looking at the family members with satisfaction as they ruminated over the meaning of his words.

“You’re all my uncles and aunts, or my siblings. I, Chen Yuanxi, will treat you as my relatives, and I’ll try my best to lead everyone in taking our family to greater heights once I take over the business from my father. I haven’t made any contribution to our family yet, and all you know about me is that I’m Chen Tianjiao’s son. Let’s wait and see. I’ll show you what great achievements I can make in a few years! I won’t forget those who support me, and I’ll give them great rewards. However, if anyone still refuses to accept a child of the Chens as a member of their family, I won’t show mercy to him when I take the power of the Chens!” Chen Yuanxi spoke in a firm voice, and his words were like an invisible knife on everyone’s neck. All the elders became acutely aware of the kid in front of them as not only Chen Tianjiao’s son by blood but also as a tough person. Nobody dared to protest again, and everyone fell silent.

Deng Yifei looked at some of the elders of the family.

Not long after, an elder stood up in the crowd and shouted. “How will you prove that you’re loyal to our family?”

“We have just started our business abroad, and we don’t have enough people to handle the business yet. I’m going to study abroad and I’ll help our family handle the business there. During this period, I will stay out of domestic business. If I can’t make our overseas business prosperous, I’ll never put my hands on our family’s domestic business. If I break my word, I will die in my boots! You have my word. If anyone still thinks that I’m not qualified, just say it!” Chen Yuanxi said loudly.

Chen Tianjiao could not help but take a deep breath. The kid had just come back less than half a month ago, and Chen Tianjiao had only briefly introduced the family business to him for the sake of his status. He was surprised that Lin Wenxi had already gotten so familiar with the family business, and he had even made up his mind to change his name!

How could a nineteen-year-old child be so brave and determined? Lin Wenxi had never mentioned that he would change his name. Had he discussed it with him in advance, things would not have gone this far. However, this was the only way he could find out who among the Chen family members were on his wife, Deng Yifei’s, side. Chen Tianjiao smiled faintly. But if this kid had also thought of things this way, it was a little terrible.

However, Chen Tianjiao did not want to suspect him anymore. Having just been reunited after nineteen years, it seemed that they were fated to be father and son.

After finishing his words, Chen Yuanxi left with easy, putting his hands into his trouser pocket.
