Chapter 2064

An Chongqiu's words left Li Yalin silent for a long time.

He had only heard a little about the An Chengxi incident back then. Out of professional sensitivity, he had once wanted to figure out what kind of hidden story was behind that incident, but there were few people who knew about that incident, and they were all tight-lipped, so he didn't look for trouble for himself.

However, thinking of An Chengxi, he couldn't help but sigh, "Chongqiu, your sister... is truly a pity... if she were still alive, the world of the rich would probably be a different scene."

An Chongqiu nodded lightly.

As the younger brother with the smallest age gap with An Chengxi, he knew best what kind of strength his sister actually had.

It could be said that for the An family to have today, half of the credit goes to the ancestors of the An family, and half of the credit goes to his sister An Chengxi alone.

Thinking of these, he couldn't help but sigh, "My sister was strong her whole life and never gave up on things she decided. The old man also doted on her to the extreme. If it weren't for her insisting on marrying far away, the old man wouldn't have been in a cold war with her for many years. If my sister hadn't married Ye Changying, so many things wouldn't have happened later."

As he spoke, An Chongqiu couldn't help but wave his hand and sigh lightly, "Hey, saying this now can only be a sigh of regret."

"Ye Changying..." Li Yalin muttered, saying, "I have no impression of Ye Changying at all; I should have never met him from beginning to end."

An Chongqiu nodded, "It's normal that you haven't met him. The old man always looked down on him, and he rarely came to the An family."

Li Yalin hurriedly said, "Let me ask a nosy question: why did the old man have such a big prejudice against your brother-in-law?"

An Chongqiu shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "Actually, my brother-in-law's family was also ranked very high in the country, even reaching the first or second position at one point. It's just that compared to the An family, it was still a lot worse. Especially when the two of them were dating, it happened to be the stage of the great rise of Silicon Valley. The series of investments my sister made in Silicon Valley started to make crazy profits, so the old man always felt that my brother-in-law was trying to latch onto the An family, so he approached my sister deliberately, and had some prejudice against him from the start. What's more, my brother-in-law wanted to take my sister to China. The old man loved my sister the most; hearing that she was going to be taken to the other side of the earth, how could he possibly agree?"

As he spoke, An Chongqiu added, "My brother-in-law was also a stubborn person. Actually, at that time, the old lady had been working on the old man, feeling that it wouldn't hurt to let my brother-in-law stay in the United States, and after the two got married, they would live and develop in the United States. The old man later loosened his mouth, meaning that as long as my brother-in-law stayed, he wouldn't oppose their marriage anymore... this shouldn't count as a son-in-law living with the wife's family, right?"

Li Yalin exclaimed, "The old man's meaning, could it be that he wanted your brother-in-law to be a son-in-law living with the wife's family?"

"It couldn't be counted as that." An Chongqiu explained, "The old man's meaning was just to let the two of them stay in the United States to develop. The old man didn't say that their children in the future had to have the surname An. This shouldn't count as a son-in-law living with the wife's family, right?"

Li Yalin shook his head, "It's about the same. You have to know, he wasn't a phoenix man or a poor boy with nothing; he was also a descendant of a famous family, just not as rich as the An family. How could he accept the condition of staying in the woman's family to develop?"

An Chongqiu nodded, "That's the same logic. It's just that the old man himself felt this was already a big concession, and the other party shouldn't have any objections at this time. But my brother-in-law felt this was a matter of principle and couldn't compromise, so the two sides never managed to resolve their differences."

Li Yalin nodded slightly, was silent for a moment, and asked, "Hey, by the way, I remember your sister had a son. Once she brought the child back to see the old lady herself, and I even saw him. How is that child now?"

An Chongqiu was slightly startled, then sighed, and said with some melancholy, "After my sister and brother-in-law had their accident, my nephew went missing. For so many years, many people have been looking for him, but there have been no clues. Don't look at the old man never saying it on his lips; actually, for these twenty years, he hasn't stopped looking."

As he spoke, he paused slightly and added, "The year my sister had her accident, the old man set up a special trust fund at Morgan Bank, putting 1 billion US dollars into it every year;"

"This money has only two uses: one is specifically to look for my nephew, and the other is to give him the remaining money after finding him;"

"Look, twenty years have passed, and a total of 20 billion US dollars in principal has been invested. In the past twenty years, hiring multiple teams to look for people all over the world has cost less than half, about 6 or 7 billion US dollars."

Li Yalin was dumbfounded upon hearing this and blurted out, "It costs so much money to look for one person?!"
