Lu Anning frowned and saw Tang Jingyuan turn and leave. He glanced at the old man lying motionless on the bed and quickly chased after him.

The once powerful head of the Pei family has now become an elderly man who suffered a stroke and cannot take care of himself. This is indeed a great torture for Pei Wanguo.

But will Tang Jingyuan really be happy?

As for the Pei family, now that Pei Chengyi has taken over the power of speech, at first glance, they will appear to be somewhat passive. Once Pei Chengyi takes control of Hongyue Group, will he and Tang Jingyuan coexist peacefully?

The resentment caused by the oppression in the past had already formed in Pei Chengyi's heart. If he wanted to gain a foothold, he was afraid that the first person he would deal with would be Tang Jingyuan.

If Tang Jingyuan took action against Pei Chengyi at this time, the two tigers would fight each other and both would suffer losses, and it would give others an opportunity to take advantage.

Lu Anning chased after him: "Are you okay?"

Tang Jingyuan stopped and turned back to force a smile at her: "Of course! Seeing him become a waste with my own eyes, I don't know how happy I am. It's a pity that I didn't do it myself. I'm thinking now whether I should ask Pei Chengyi to help him up and have a good meal to thank them."

"You're not happy at all."

Lu Anning sighed deeply, "Don't pretend in front of me. Your smile is too fake. Since you're still conflicted, don't think too much about it for now. You're already like this, and it won't change in a short time. The key is what you should do next. Are you really ready to go to war with the Pei family head-on?"

Tang Jingyuan suddenly smiled and raised his hand to touch Lu Anning's hair.

"Are you worried about me?"

Lu Anning rolled his eyes at him. "I'm just analyzing this for you calmly. Pei Chengyi has already secured the support of the majority of shareholders and has the Shan family as his backing. He chose this moment to take the reins, which shows he's fully prepared. If you confront him head-on, I'm worried it'll be a lose-lose situation."

Tang Jingyuan curled his lips and smiled: "I have always been a fisherman who only reaps profits. Who said that I can only fight Pei Chengyi head-on?"

Lu Anning frowned for a while, then she asked tentatively, "Are you looking for Pei Yongsheng?"

"You'll know in a few days."

Tang Jingyuan smiled mysteriously but didn't tell the truth, which aroused Lu Anning's curiosity.

I thought Pei Chengyi's surprise attack would catch Tang Jingyuan off guard, but who knew that he was still calm and composed, as if everything was under control.

After leaving the hospital, he calmly sent Lu An Ning back to Ronghua Garden before returning to the company.

Lu Anning sent him off with some concern: "Don't rashly clash with Pei Chengyi, understand?"

Tang Jingyuan raised his eyebrows: "Do you think I'm going to Hongyue Group?"

"otherwise?"

Hongyue’s CEO has been replaced, so shouldn’t he, as a major shareholder, show up?

"If I don't go back to Feiyun, Xiang Yang will go on strike. Be good! Don't worry, get some rest before going to work."

Tang Jingyuan comforted Lu Anning before leaving, but Lu Anning couldn't sit still. It wasn't that she didn't trust Tang Jingyuan, but she was worried that Pei Chengyi's family would plot against her behind her back.

Lu Anning thought that Pei Chengyi would be impatient to take action, but who knew that for two consecutive days, the Pei family was unusually quiet. Even Tang Jingyuan went to work on time as if nothing had happened, but he would come back late at night and deal with the backlog of work in the company with Xiang Yang, but he never mentioned anything about the Pei family.

The overly calm situation made Lu Anning increasingly uneasy, feeling that this was more like the calm before the storm. Tang Jingyuan didn't mention it, so Lu Anning didn't want to keep asking.

It wasn't until the fifth day that someone finally couldn't sit still anymore.

During lunch break, Lu Anning suddenly received a call from an unfamiliar number. After hearing the voice, Lu Anning quickly guessed the other party's identity.

"Pei Chengyi?"

The man's satisfied laughter came to my ears: "So, you remember my voice so clearly."

Lu Anning felt a chill in his heart and became alert: "What's the matter?"

"I heard you're back. Let's find some time to meet!"

Lu Anning was sure that he had heard correctly that Pei Chengyi wanted to meet him alone.

She hesitated: "If you have anything to say, just tell me on the phone!"

"Are you still afraid that I will eat you? Don't you want to know what has happened in the Pei family recently? I'll wait for you at 7pm at the Eurasia Restaurant."

Pei Chengyi seemed certain that Lu Anning would go, and he hung up the phone without waiting for her consent. Lu Anning stared at the blackened phone screen, her brow furrowed. With the currents surging, what did Pei Chengyi want to do by asking her out?

Before leaving get off work, the WeChat message sent by Tang Jingyuan made her finally decide to meet Pei Chengyi, perhaps she could help Tang Jingyuan get some useful information.

Lu Anning arrived at the restaurant as scheduled and found that Pei Chengyi had chosen a music restaurant. Looking at the intimate couples coming in and out, she hesitated for a moment, but still walked in.

The waiter took Lu An Ning directly to the top floor. On the small stage in the center, a beautiful woman in a red dress was immersed in playing the violin. Not far away, at the only dining table, Pei Chengyi was dressed in a suit and tie. Under the halo, he really had the capital to charm thousands of girls.

Unfortunately, Lu Anning is not included.

Rose petals were scattered all over the red carpet, pointing in the direction of Pei Chengyi. Lu Anning frowned as he watched all this, brushed off the goose bumps on his arms, and walked over with his head held high.

The cry of "nephew" broke the atmosphere that the restaurant had painstakingly created, and even the beautiful woman playing the violin stopped playing in shock.

Lu An Ning pretended to be stupid and asked, "Did I go to the wrong place, or did you make the wrong call to meet the wrong person? Otherwise, I should ask Shan Ying to come over now?"

Pei Chengyi forced a smile that was about to crack and took a deep breath: "Lu Anning! Don't always challenge my patience. This is for you!"

Lu Anning glanced at the champagne rose in front of him, chuckled, and didn't take it.

"Compared to champagne and rose, I prefer something more direct." She walked around Pei Chengyi and chose the farthest seat to sit down. The night breeze blew past, and she suddenly became more awake.

What on earth is Pei Chengyi thinking of doing all these fancy things?
