Chapter 2078 Chu Ge's Troubles

Back at the company, Pi Yangyang ignored Guan Tieniu and Kang Dezhu and immediately went to Muye Studio.

Seeing his hurried appearance, Makino knew there was a new task ahead and asked, "Chairman, who are we investigating this time?"

“Liu Chang’e, the chairwoman of Yuehui Investment Consulting Company,” Pi Yangyang said directly. “Find a way to hack into her personal computer and copy all the data. Also, immediately check the surveillance video of the Langfa Hilton Hotel from 6 pm to 12 am last night. The targets are Bai Xiaopeng and Liu Chang’e. Copy all the videos related to them to me as well.”

Makino quickly agreed and immediately began the operation.

As he typed the code, he said, "Don't worry, Chairman, I can get it done in two hours at most."

Pi Yangyang hummed in agreement; he had absolute faith in Mu Ye's abilities.

He got up and left. Just as he returned to his office, Chu Ge's voice came from outside, "Big brother has his own office now? That's much more convenient."

As the voices were heard, Chu Ge walked in.

Pi Yangyang glanced at him and asked, "Is everything settled?"

Chu Ge's eyes flickered, and after a slight hesitation, he said, "It's done."

Pi Yangyang looked at him suspiciously, "Have you run into some trouble?"

Chu Ge's tone was somewhat low, "No."

But how could his expression escape Pi Yangyang's eyes?

Last time, Chu Ge said he had something to take care of at home. After returning, he was depressed for a long time.

Pi Yangyang could tell at that time that something must have happened to the Chu family.

But after asking several times, Chu Ge still wouldn't answer, so he stopped pressing the matter.

In addition, Shen Xinjun had been tricked into going to Africa to mine during this period of time, so he stopped thinking about it.

Chu Ge went back this time to persuade his family to invest in the Xingyi Industrial Park project.

This investment is no small sum, and Chu Ge's original intention was to get the Chu family's full support.

Of course, it wasn't just because he wanted to help Pi Yangyang; he also saw potential in the project, and if it succeeded, the profits the Chu family would reap would be astronomical.

He understands the simple principle of investing more, taking more shares, and receiving more dividends.

After the last shareholders' meeting, Chu Ge immediately returned to Bincheng to discuss the investment with his family.

Lin Jingxue, Zhao Jingang, Zhao Ruyu, Chen Ruoxi and others gave Pi Yangyang the information in less than a week, saying that they had persuaded their family to invest in the Xingyi Industrial Park project.

Moreover, the funds from these families have already begun to be transferred to the Yan Group in batches.

However, the Chu family remained silent.

Pi Yangyang had also considered that something might have happened to the Chu family. But he felt that Chu Ge could handle it.

When they were in Bincheng, he could tell that the matriarch, Bian Dongling, doted on Chu Ge and granted his every wish.

Moreover, Chu Ge's mother, Yin Jiao, is the CEO of the Chu Group, wielding real power within the company.

Even if his three uncles were unwilling, they probably couldn't go against the old lady and Yin Jiao in the end.

It seems that Chu Ge has encountered problems again.

"Tell me, what exactly is the problem?" Pi Yangyang asked calmly. "Is there anything between us that we can't talk about?"

Chu Ge sat down on the sofa, poured himself a cup of tea, took a slow sip, and said, "It's really nothing, everything's taken care of. The funds will arrive in the next couple of days."

Pi Yangyang noticed that his words were evasive and he seemed a little down. After thinking for a moment, he asked again, "Is it because your three uncles disagree?"

Chu Ge put down his teacup and said in a deep voice, "They disagree, but with my grandmother around, they can't make the decision."

Pi Yangyang sat down opposite him and said slowly, "Now that everything has been resolved, why are you still so gloomy?"

"Me... feeling down?" Chu Ge looked up in surprise at Pi Yangyang.

Pi Yangyang smiled slightly, "Your unhappiness is written all over your face."

Chu Ge remained silent for a moment before saying, "They object and want my mother to hand over the CEO position, but that doesn't really matter. My mother has long since given up on being a CEO; she wants to step down from that role and live in Beijing."

Pi Yangyang was not surprised. He had also noticed in Bincheng that Yin Jiao was not actually very interested in controlling the Chu family.

However, the old lady seemed to disapprove of her three sons, but favored her, the eldest daughter-in-law, and insisted on letting her take over the group.

It's understandable that the three brothers were dissatisfied. In any family where this situation occurred, it's unlikely that any male member would be willing to hand over the family's power to a woman.

Besides, their eldest brother was already dead.

However, Pi Yangyang understood the unspoken meaning in Chu Ge's words.

It seems that the conflict between them is not just a simple power struggle within the family.

"However, my grandmother has always refused to let my mother step down, insisting that she take over the Chu Group," Chu Ge continued. "My three uncles, although unwilling, dare not completely fall out with my grandmother..."

"Is it because Auntie doesn't want to continue fighting with her three uncles that she's thinking of relinquishing power?"

Pi Yangyang asked.

“Yes, she also said that she is, after all, just a daughter-in-law of the Chu family, and my father is no longer alive. If she continues to occupy the position of CEO, her three uncles will definitely be dissatisfied, and there will be a lot of gossip outside…”

Chu Ge was still somewhat downcast.

Clearly, he still hoped that his mother would stay in the Chu Group and continue to run it.

Is there anything else?

Pi Yangyang asked with some surprise.

Chu Ge's brow twitched slightly, then he fell silent again.

Pi Yangyang stared intently at him and said gently, "Chu Ge, you and I are brothers, brothers who can entrust their backs to each other without hesitation. Is there anything you can't tell me?"

Chu Ge's face twitched a few times. He picked up his teacup, drank it all in one gulp, and as if he had made some kind of decision, he suddenly looked up and stared at Pi Yangyang with a sharp gaze.

Pi Yangyang felt uneasy under his gaze and asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Did I... say something wrong?"

Chu Ge suddenly smiled, his brows relaxed, and his tone was no longer low, "Yes, you and I are brothers, brothers who will live and die together."

Pi Yangyang was taken aback and felt a little uneasy.

"Actually, I can understand what my three uncles did, and I never blame them." Chu Ge said slowly, as if she had opened her heart. "If it were me, I would be just as indignant as they were."

Pi Yangyang nodded. Putting himself in his shoes, he figured he probably wouldn't understand it either if it happened to him.

"But my three uncles shouldn't have slandered my mother, especially not in front of my grandmother..."

Chu Ge's lips twitched again, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

Pi Yangyang asked, somewhat puzzled, "They're slandering Auntie? Why?"

Chu Ge gritted her teeth and said, "They say that my mother was with another man before she married my father. They even say that I'm not a member of the Chu family at all, but was born to my mother and another man!"

"Tell me, isn't this just nonsense, slandering my mother? Even my grandma said that my mother and father fell in love in college, and after they got married, they were always very loving and never argued or even had a fight. How could my mother be that kind of person?"

Pi Yangyang was stunned, looking at Chu Ge in disbelief, and stammered, "This is indeed a bit outrageous, too much. How can such a thing be made up out of thin air?"

"Yes, my mom was so angry she almost fainted and couldn't say a word. If my grandma hadn't stood up and given my three uncles a good scolding, who knows how far this would have gone."

Chu Ge said, somewhat annoyed.

Pi Yangyang immediately understood that Chu Ge had only come back today because he was at home keeping his mother company.

"What's even more infuriating is that they questioned my origins in front of my grandmother. They even said they wanted me to get a paternity test to find out the truth..."

Chu Ge's face was somewhat pale.

"You did it?" Pi Yangyang asked in surprise, feeling inexplicably nervous.

Chu Ge shook her head. "No. I agreed to do it at the time, but my grandmother stopped me. She took out a paternity report, which my father and mother took my biological sample to the United States to do before my father passed away. It clearly stated that my father and I have a genetic similarity and are related..."

Hearing this, Pi Yangyang breathed a sigh of relief.

In wealthy families, such dramatic and unbelievable plot twists are the most dreaded.

A single paternity report can often ruin an entire family.

Now that it has been confirmed that Chu Ge was born to Chu Huai Shan, then his three uncles are slanderers.

“Although my grandma produced evidence and gave my three uncles a good scolding, and strictly ordered that no one could use this incident to attack my mom in the future, my mom was still quite traumatized.” Chu Ge calmed down a bit and continued, “So I stayed home with my mom for a few days. Today she urged me to come to Beijing, otherwise I was planning to stay home for a while longer…”

Pi Yangyang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Alright, don't think about it anymore now that the matter is resolved. Once the Xingyi Industrial Park project is settled, take some time to go back and visit Auntie. Xueqing and I will go see her and Grandma together then..."

Chu Ge hummed in agreement, then asked, "Big brother, how's the industrial park going?"
