Chapter 240 Jiangnan: Dual Identity
Our family has a long heritage, dating back to the Ming Dynasty, and is one of the oldest aristocratic families in Jiangnan. In the late Qing Dynasty, my great grandfather established a shipping company with ships covering many countries in Southeast Asia, accumulating rich family wealth. However, during the war, he resolutely donated all his family assets to the country. After the founding of the country, the Xiao family became the leader of the aristocratic families in Jiangnan
There was a hint of pride in his eyes, admiration for his great grandfather, but then a dark color appeared. "After my great grandfather passed away, he naturally passed on the position of head of the family to my grandfather. However, when my father was ten years old, my grandfather was assassinated," he said
Sis, "Lin Keqing secretly breathed in, feeling that the water in the Xiao family was not only deep, but also very dark.

Strictly shook his head, indicating that he was fine, and continued, "Mom and Dad lost their first child, and my grandmother was very angry. She used her family's power to launch a fierce attack on the property of the second house, and the Xiao family faced a serious crisis. At this time, the eldest son of my second grandfather was secretly killed again
It's really full of ups and downs, even more brutal than ancient house fights, "Lin Keqing thought to himself.
My second grandfather believed that this was done by my grandmother, so he officially broke away from our eldest house. Then, my mother became pregnant with me, and my grandmother sent me to the United States to raise a child who was about the same age. However, when he was seven years old, he was pushed into the lotus pond by Xiao Tong and drowned
Lin Keqing was stunned
