Undeterred, Xiao Wenwei dialed Qin Lu's number again.

Still can't get through!

What exactly happened?

Xiao Wenwei frowned, lost in thought, and didn't even notice Chen Rulong walking in from the door.

A dark glint flashed in Chen Rulong's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said indifferently, "I've seen you making phone calls these past two days. Haven't you gotten through yet?"

Xiao Wenwei, who was lost in thought, was startled by Chen Rulong's voice.

She snapped out of her daze, quickly hung up the phone she was still dialing, and asked somewhat awkwardly, "Sir, when did you arrive?"

Chen Rulong calmly sat down in the armchair: "I arrived just now when you were making calls and no one answered, and you kept muttering to yourself about what was wrong with him."

Xiao Wenwei looked somewhat guilty upon hearing this.

Chen Rulong picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of cold tea, took a sip, and said casually, "I wonder who this 'he' you called is? You seem very nervous these past two days, unable to get through to him, you seem distracted!"

Xiao Wenwei's eyes darted around, and she offered a weak explanation: "Just a friend."

friend?

Let's have a lover!

A flash of anger crossed Chen Rulong's eyes.

If the company hadn't been completely sidelined by Xiao Wenwei, and if he hadn't been diagnosed with a terminal illness and didn't have much time left, he definitely wouldn't have let Xiao Wenwei off the hook.

pity.

He was nothing but an old, hollow shell.

Furthermore, his secret investigation revealed that Xiao Wenwei's lover was the son of a powerful figure.

It was simply beyond his ability to contend with.

So he has been unable to lash out and has endured it until now.

However, he received news today that Xiao Wenwei, his mistress whom he had been secretly keeping an eye on, had apparently gotten into trouble and been arrested.

Although the specific reason for his arrest is unknown.

I've heard it's a serious matter. Even if Xiao Wenwei's lover isn't executed, he'll probably spend the rest of his life in prison.

Chen Rulong was overjoyed to hear this news.

Seeing that Xiao Wenwei couldn't contact her lover, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but she still stubbornly insisted that the other party was a friend.

He sneered even more inwardly.

Looking at her husband's ambiguous smile, Xiao Wenwei felt even more guilty and changed the subject: "By the way, sir, what have you thought about the marriage alliance between our Chen family and the Wang family of Donghai?"

"The Wang family of Donghai, although their ancestors were pirates, the smuggling business they did in previous years was not respectable."

"But in the last 20 years, the Wang family has cleaned up their act."

"The Wang family is now a well-known and powerful family in Donghai, and Miss Wang Qingqing is considered a lady from a prominent family."

"Our Xiao Kai is marrying Miss Wang. This marriage between the Chen and Wang families will greatly benefit both Xiao Kai's future and the future of Tianjiao Group..."

In fact, Chen Rulong disliked the Wang family.

The Wang family has a bad reputation.

His ancestors were notorious bandits.

The old man from the Wang family used to be a smuggling tycoon and was once imprisoned.

Although the Wang family has whitewashed their image in the last 20 years.

The Wang family has become a powerful family in Donghai.

However, Chen Rulong, a member of a powerful family in the capital, still looked down on the Wang family of Donghai.

Moreover, he had heard that the Wang family's daughter had an immoral private life.

But Xiao Wenwei is optimistic about this marriage.

Xiao Wenwei felt that the Wang family was wealthy and powerful in Donghai, with connections in business, politics, and the military, and that the marriage alliance would be of great help to Chen Kai.

If it were in the past...

Chen Rulong definitely does not agree to this marriage.

But ever since he learned that Xiao Wenwei had betrayed him, he has become indifferent to Xiao Wenwei and her son.

On the contrary, Chen Yun surprised him more and more.

Although Chen Yun embarrassed him several times, leaving him unable to save face.

But instead of holding a grudge, he felt even more that Chen Yun was outstanding and the most suitable successor.

Therefore, he has been focusing all his attention on Chen Yun lately and has not been paying much attention to Chen Kai's affairs.

At this moment, Xiao Wenwei brought up the marriage alliance with the Wang family of Donghai again.

He replied in a lukewarm tone, "I'm seriously ill, and you've always been in charge of all the big and small things at home. You should make the decision on this matter too!"

Xiao Wenwei nodded: "Alright, I'll ask someone to tell the Wang family that the marriage is settled. Let Chen Kai talk to Miss Wang first, and then we can discuss the wedding arrangements later."

Chen Rulong gave a perfunctory reply, then made an excuse that it was time to take his medicine and went back to his room.

Xiao Wenwei, overjoyed, asked someone to contact the Wang family.

His son, Chen Kai, married the daughter of the Wang family.

They will undoubtedly receive the full support of the Wang family, making it much easier to deal with Chen Yun.

...

The North.

Long County, Qin Family.

Old Qin was having dinner with Chen Yun and Qin Lu.

Qin Lu probably knew that this meal might be his last supper with his father, and his mood plummeted to the lowest point.

He didn't eat a single bite of food, just kept drinking silently without saying a word.

Before he knew it, he had passed out drunk and fallen asleep on the table.

Old Qin wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and instructed Gao Ping behind him: "Alright, the person has been seen and has repented before the ancestral tablets. Now that they have almost finished eating, you can let Zhang Yang come in and take them away."

Chen Yun said softly, "Old Qin, there's still time. Zhang Yang said that as long as the person is handed over to him before midnight, it'll be fine..."

Old Qin shook his head: "No need. Staying a few more hours won't change anything. We still have to face what we have to face. Gao Ping, let Zhang Yang in!"

Gao Ping said, "Yes!"

soon.

Zhang Yang led a team of soldiers in.

Old Qin used a flamboyant style to take people away.

Zhang Yang nodded: "Elder Qin, then I must offend you."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and two soldiers lifted up the drunk Qin Lu.

Zhang Yang saluted Elder Qin and Chen Yun respectively, then took his leave and left with Qin Lu.

Chen Yun was worried that the teacher wouldn't be able to handle the blow, so he wanted to say a few words of comfort.

Old Qin waved his hand and said, "Child, I know what you want to say. Don't worry about me. I'm fine, I'm alright."

"You and Ye Feng have worked hard."

"Given that I'm currently under investigation, I won't let you stay here overnight. You should all go back!"

Chen Yun nodded: "Okay, then take care, teacher."

After saying that.

He left with Lai Fu, Lin Le, and the madman.

The group was eager to return home, so they took a flight back to Zhonghai overnight.

Back to Zhonghai.

The group went their separate ways home.

When Chen Yun returned to Villa No. 1 on the lake island, it was already past 11 p.m.

But to my surprise, I discovered...

The living room lights were still on, and it was quite lively, with constant voices coming from inside.

He pushed open the door and went in, somewhat stunned.

A large group of people, all from the Shu family, were sitting in the living room.

Grandpa Shu, Shu Lengyue, Shu Lengyue's parents, and others all came.

Shu Tangyin, Shu Xinyuan, and Xu Yuehua are warmly entertaining them!

turn out to be.

A few days ago, Xu Yuehua took Chen Yun and Shu Tangyin's birth dates to a fortune teller to choose an auspicious day for their wedding.

The master has already calculated the best wedding date.

Xu Yuehua invited a large group of Mr. Shu's relatives over for dinner, and after dinner, they discussed Chen Yun's marriage to Shu Tangyin.

Everyone's discussing it right now!

Unexpectedly, Chen Yun returned.

Upon seeing Chen Yun, Shu Tangyin's face lit up with joy. Like a bird returning to its nest, she ran over and threw herself into Chen Yun's arms, exclaiming with delight, "Chen Yun, you're back!"

Chen Yun, unaware that everyone was there to discuss his marriage to Shu Tangyin, asked curiously, "Everyone's here?"

Shu Tangyin blushed and explained softly, "Mom has already asked a fortune teller to choose a wedding date. Tonight, we'll invite Grandpa and the others over for dinner to discuss our marriage."
