Chapter 439: Chapter 439
"In my lifetime, I’ve always been on the move. Since you and Xuanxuan are so capable, I will rest in peace even if I die. You don’t lack money, and I’ve built such a large enterprise. According to my will, you and your sister will inherit my work separately and continue to do charity like I did, helping more children to study and become successful. If you don’t keep your word, I won’t rest easy even after death."
Unlike his first life, he didn’t all his enterprise before he died because in 2010, his businesses were still in their profitable stages. It would have been too regretful to sell them then. He thought it better to keep them to generate more money, which would allow him to help even more people.
The two children had grown up, and since their school days when they needed Zheng Long’s help, they had never asked their father for money since they started working.
They earned their own money and spent it on their own—getting married, buying houses, having children, and raising them—Zheng Long really hadn’t spent much.
Most of his money, he had d away. In his lifetime, it was almost one hundred million yuan, if not quite.
He himself didn’t remember how much he had d, but probably the most things piled up in his house were donation receipts and various certificates of honor.
He never married; Zheng Xuan and Zheng Kai were especially grateful, so they would definitely take their father’s last words seriously and not let him down in the afterlife.
Speaking of the two’s backgrounds, during the SARS outbreak in 2008, Zheng Kai had been mentioned in a report. It was this report that led his so-called biological father, who had grown old and haggard and wasn’t living well after having his own children, to find him because Zheng Kai looked so much like their family. However, Zheng Kai immediately denied it, maintaining that he was his parents’ biological child and not adopted, and they had mistaken him for someone else.
Despite saying so, he still thoroughly inquired about that family afterward. Knowing they weren’t living well but not helping them because—though poor—they weren’t in dire straits, and helping might mean never being able to stop.
There was a similar situation with Zheng Xuan. As an excellent translator, she often accompanied delegations abroad and appeared on TV frequently. The family that had abandoned her had actually gone on a TV show to find relatives, hoping to reconnect with Zheng Xuan, who was now successful.
Her brother’s experience allowed her to refuse smoothly and decisively and even question them back.
"My dad, my brother, and I didn’t even know I was adopted, so how did you know?"
Her comment left them speechless, without any means to get her DNA for testing, and so the so-called reunion came to nothing.
As for Zheng Long, not only was he a prominent entrepreneur in Chongqing but also a well-known philanthropist. He appeared in mainstream media and television as frequently as his children. Therefore, the village where Zheng Long lived, as well as the Long Family’s village, had all seen him, but unfortunately, his own kin had long since dispersed, and the collateral relatives had even less right to contact Zheng Long. The only beneficiaries were those from the Zheng Family’s village because, with Mr. Zheng’s help years earlier, Zheng Long had built a Hope Primary School and roads there in his grandfather’s name.

"He who receives kindness will return it, and he who is wronged will seek revenge," Zheng Long lived a life of integrity, hard work, kindness, and selflessness. Even without a wife, he had metaphorical descendants who provided offerings every year, living a life without regrets.
And he naturally proved through his achievements that he was not the Sixty Wastrel—rather, he was a towering figure of a man, whether his mission was successful or not was evident from his present accomplishments.
