Chapter 1119: Chapter 959 I Am Legend_2

Wang Ye blinked and said with a sense of grievance, "But... that really is her identity. Do you want me to lie to you?"

His father, a bit angry, demanded, "This girl..."

As he spoke, he pointed at the computer screen and continued:

"She’s just in her early twenties, right?

Let’s not discuss any descendant of the tsar or grand dukes.

Tell me, how did she become the Governor of Moscow State!

This governor is equivalent to the head of a province in our country, right?

Russia is also a major power; how could such an important position be held by such a young girl?

What international joke is this!

You have forgotten that your father is also in politics, and I know a bit about these intricacies.

Oh, even though I have always worked at the grass-roots level and didn’t deal much with higher-up affairs, I’ve at least seen pigs run, though I haven’t eaten pork.

In this regard, you can’t fool me!"

Faced with his fierce rebuttal, Wang Ye didn’t know how to respond.

He originally wanted to say, Rossiyana became the Governor of Moscow because she had him, her fiancé, supporting her from behind!

Of course, there was also a father-in-law who controlled the Kremlin...

But he was a bit afraid to mention that, because talking about the connection with the Kremlin would make his dad even less likely to believe...

...

Heaving a long sigh, Wang Ye had wanted to simplify matters, save some effort, and just explain things clearly to his parents.

But now, it seemed that this explanation wasn’t going to be straightforward.

He couldn’t blame his parents for not trusting him; if he were in their shoes, he wouldn’t believe it either...

So he had no choice but to implement "Plan B," which meant not to mind the hassle and explain everything that had happened to him over the years to his parents from start to finish!

This way, at least he could make it logically understandable and let his parents know why he had gotten to where he was today.

Of course, if they still didn’t believe him by then, he...

He really would be out of options!

He couldn’t possibly drag his parents back to Moscow to verify everything.

Feeling powerless, he waved his hands, asking his parents to calm down and sit down to talk.

Once his mother and father had calmed down a bit, Wang Ye also settled his emotions and started to narrate the events that unfolded after his arrival in Moscow.

"At first, I just wanted to earn some pocket money. The cost of living in Moscow is quite high, so I figured out how to hustle selling phone cards..." Wang Ye said with a smile, recounting his early days wholesaling phone cards in Moscow.

Listening to this, his mother’s eyes reddened a bit, feeling quite distressed.

She understood that the $150 a month they gave Wang Ye for living expenses might really not have been enough.

Otherwise, Wang Ye wouldn’t have thought of selling phone cards!

But there was nothing they could do; the family’s financial situation was tight back then. It was already a struggle to send Wang Ye abroad.

To gather enough money for Wang Ye’s first two years of tuition, living expenses, and plane tickets, they even borrowed some money from relatives.

Listening to this, his father quietly pulled out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from his pocket and began to smoke.

These days, the type of cigarettes his father smoked had certainly upgraded a lot. Wang Ye remembered that in the past, his father would smoke cigarettes that cost no more than ten yuan, like Ashima, Yunyan, or Emperor.

Seeing his father smoke, Wang Ye also thought about joining him with one, but he refrained upon noticing the somewhat "fierce" look his mother gave his father and continued talking about his experiences.

"After making some money selling phone cards, I also met a few people, and I realized that processing abroad studies was not as hard as I thought, in fact, it was quite simple.

So, I pulled together a few friends, and we all chipped in to start a study abroad agency.

It was the same one that partnered with my uncle’s school.

To be honest, my real first bucket of gold was earned from that study abroad agency.

In just a few months, I made a few hundred thousand US dollars!"

Wang Ye said with a smile.

His parents were both amazed. A few hundred thousand US dollars! In their minds, they automatically converted it to CNY—that’s several million yuan!

Because back then in China, exchanging for US dollars wasn’t so easy. The bank exchange rate was about 8.8, and most people couldn’t even get their hands on it.

They could only go to the black market to find scalpers for the exchange, and the scalpers’ exchange rate was one to ten!

In Wang Ye’s first year abroad, his father had exchanged a few thousand US dollars through scalpers, so he remembered this exchange rate clearly...

"With this first pot of gold, I thought about investing in some business.

But back then, as I was still unfamiliar with everything, I didn’t have any good channels for investment.

Just at the right time, next to our study abroad agency, a new wholesale market was being built and prepared for opening, and they were selling units.

I was quite familiar with that area, so I was very optimistic about the development of this market.

Thus, I took the money and bought three hundred shops...

It was because of buying these shops that my fate changed in ways I had never imagined before!

The day I signed the contract for the shops, Khodorkovsky, the boss of the market, who was also the boss of the Yukos Group, a very famous oligarch, was targeted by an assassin, and I saved his life..."

Wang Ye spoke very calmly, but to his parents, it was incredibly thrilling!

They were just ordinary folks, and had never experienced anything like an "assassination attempt"...

"To thank me, Khodorkovsky gave me two options, and I chose the more adventurous one.

Thus, I took on a new identity, the Russian Chinese Descendant Mikhail, and I also became Khodorkovsky’s adopted nephew!"

...

After that, I became a shareholder in the New Sun Group, the boss of the Xiao Ying Group...

As for entering politics, that was also quite a chance occurrence.

It was Uncle A Bu... oh, you probably have heard this name...

Yes, that A Bu.

He recommended that I run for Duma Member, and he helped me secure enough votes in Chukotka, where he governed, so I was successfully elected.

Thus, I became a distinguished Duma Member..."

Saying this, Wang Ye shook his head and smiled, the events of the past few years that had happened to him, even as he recounted them himself, still seemed quite... magical.

All that could be said was it was the arrangement of fate.

Full of various opportunities and coincidences, of course, when these opportunities arose, I firmly grasped them!

Not exaggerating, even just missing any step might have cost me the status of "Mikhail" today!

His parents were like listening to a "story," but the story Wang Ye told was fascinating, compelling, and they slowly got drawn into it.

"Once my career and status reached a certain stage, the developments that followed were just logical.

The journey wasn’t all smooth sailing, I faced quite a few storms and overcame many difficulties.

Fortunately, I made it through smoothly.

The reason I got engaged to Rossiyana also had a certain aspect of a political marriage, as her family truly are descendants of the Tsar, and she indeed inherited the title of Grand Duchess of Romanov.

The Romanov family and the British Royal Family are relatives, oh right, we together visited the Queen’s family as relatives..."

At this point, Wang Ye suddenly remembered something, quickly operated his computer, and fished out several photos.

These were photos from his and Rossiyana’s visit to the British Royal Family, including a group photo with the Queen!

"Here, now you can’t doubt it anymore," Wang Ye said with a smile, pointing at the computer screen.

In the photo, a kindly old lady sat in the middle, with a small, exquisite crown on her head.

Wang Ye and Rossiyana were dressed in formal attire, sitting at her left side, with Rossiyana also wearing a diamond crown!

His mom and dad stared intently at the photo for a long time without uttering a word.

They were stunned!

When people are extremely shocked, their minds go blank, and even their bodies are out of control and unable to speak.

Back then, there was no concept of "photoshopping," and having photos was equivalent to having truth.

Deep inside, the two of them were starting to believe what Wang Ye said, they just found it hard to accept for the moment.

"Queen," "Grand Duke," "Duma Speaker," "Oligarch"...

These unfamiliar terms had never been related to them before, and they had never imagined having any connection with such legendary terms.

But suddenly, their son who they had raised for so many years was telling them that from today onwards, he also belonged to those "legends" in the eyes of ordinary people!
