I married a petty hooligan in place of my sister, living a life of poverty. Who knew that my husband would suddenly transform into a mysteriously powerful and influential tycoon?
Jiang Can co...
Jiang Can nodded. There must be something going on here, and Fu Chengwei might still be in the dark!
"Setting up a talent agency so suddenly and being able to come up with 100 million euros all at once, that's really not normal." Jiang Can bit her lip and said in a low voice, "I have to tell Yi Lan to stop rushing to film the movie and postpone this matter! Also, honey, that Meiwei Entertainment must be thoroughly investigated!"
Huo Zhixing laughed, clicked twice on the computer, and immediately the detailed investigation results of Meiwei Company appeared.
Jiang Can was taken aback.
"My dear wife, do you really need to tell me how to do this? I've already done it all!"
Jiang Can leaned closer to take a look. Meiwei Entertainment had a small registered capital and no celebrities under its umbrella. The entire company consisted of only one legal representative, one manager, and one financial staff member.
“The legal representative is my uncle.” Jiang Can frowned. “Zhixing, if anything happens to the company, your uncle will be the first to bear the legal responsibility!”
"Um."
“Furthermore,” Jiang Can added, “I don’t think this is a normal company; it’s more like an empty shell!”
Huo Zhixing chuckled and closed the laptop.
"Okay, let's not think about it anymore. I'll go to sleep with you."
"Husband..." Jiang Can hugged his neck, "The baby has been very fussy lately, and my back is so sore."
Huo Zhixing carried her back to the bedroom, placed her on the bed, and gently massaged her waist.
Jiang Can complained of the heat and wanted to eat ice cream.
The man paused for a moment, then shook his head hesitantly.
Jiang Can was somewhat disappointed.
Since she became pregnant, both her mother-in-law and her own mother have been keeping a close eye on her, forbidding her from eating this or touching that.
Ice cream has been blacklisted.
Upon arriving in England, Fu Xiuyu strictly adhered to the "blacklist" and repeatedly instructed Huo Zhixing to take good care of Jiang Can's diet.
Jiang Can often misses the junk food she used to eat, like instant noodles, hot and sour noodles, spicy hot pot, and street fried skewers...
But I haven't been able to have these things for several months now.
She pouted, listlessly turned to the side, and prepared to go to sleep.
Huo Zhixing tried to coax her for a while, but the little woman still wouldn't turn around. He got up and said he had work to do, and Jiang Can nodded gently, closed her eyes, and let him do as he pleased.
However, not long after, she vaguely heard a sound at the bedroom door and seemed to smell a sweet scent...
"Ah!" Jiang Can opened her eyes, excitedly exclaiming, "Ice cream?"
She immediately perked up. The chocolate sundae with a strawberry, served in a small European bone china cup, looked incredibly appetizing.
Huo Zhixing looked at her with affection, smiled gently, and handed her the small spoon.
"Thank you, honey!" Jiang Can took a spoonful, her taste buds were extremely satisfied, it felt like she had been given a shot of adrenaline!
"Honey..." she looked at him, "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"Why not?" Huo Zhixing chuckled, ruffling her hair. "My wife has been through so much during her pregnancy, what's wrong with her eating some ice cream?"
"husband……"
"From now on, whatever you want to eat, your husband will give it to you," Huo Zhixing said softly. "But you can't eat too much, just a little to satisfy your craving!"
Jiang Can put the ice cream in her mouth and nodded vigorously.
“My son isn’t that delicate!” Huo Zhixing laughed. “He can handle anything, whether it’s sour, spicy, cold, or hot! Right, son?”
"You wouldn't let me eat just now, why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"because……"
Huo Zhixing said in a deep voice, his large hand gripping the back of her head, his forehead pressed against hers.
"Because I love you and don't want you to suffer even the slightest grievance."
...
Fu Xiuyu remained calm and observed the situation, neither accepting nor insisting on opposing the 100 million euro investment offered by Sun Meifen.
She wanted to wait for Sun Meifen to slip up on her own.
Huo Zhixing, true to his mother's style, remained calm and collected, gradually building up the other party's patience until they eventually revealed their true colors.
Especially after he received Lu Lishan's call.
"I found the person you asked me to look into last time!"
"Hmm." Huo Zhixing lowered his voice. "What's going on?"
Although Lu Lishan's influence is not in Manchester, he has brothers who used to work in the underworld abroad, so he can find out some things about them.
"You mean that big shot who's active around Manchester City, with that hoarse voice? That's 'Green Hat Quinn'!"
"What?" Huo Zhixing almost spat out his coffee.
"Hahaha, that's what people in the underworld call him!" Lu Lishan laughed. "His real name is Lü Maokun. Coincidentally, he's also from Yangcheng. Later, he went to London, but couldn't make it there, so he went to Manchester... He's done all sorts of heinous things, and recently it seems he's been involved in money laundering or something!"
Huo Zhixing nodded, understanding the situation.
"Where did he get so much money?"
"Dirty money, what else could it be?" Lu Lishan scoffed. "It's said he got his fortune through women!"
Huo Zhixing frowned. "Lu Lishan, how do you launder money?"
"Hey, hey, hey, I retired from the underworld a long time ago, don't drag me into this!" Lu Lishan coughed twice. "There are many ways to launder money... invest! If you invest the dirty money, the profits will become clean, right?"
"What?"
invest?
So, investing in movies is one of those options?
A strange feeling immediately welled up in Huo Zhixing's heart.
...
Sang Qing stayed in the villa for many days.
James couldn't find this place, and she felt completely safe.
Unfortunately, the money in the metal box was ultimately taken by that bastard... She was heartbroken. She had been eyeing a course at the fashion academy for half a year and had saved up money to pay the registration fee.
She never mentioned this to anyone, and every day she was still laughing and joking, or she would do housework in the villa like the other servants.
Everyone in the villa liked her very much.
She was weeding in the yard that day when the doorbell rang. She ran to see what was happening and saw a middle-aged woman who looked her up and down with an unfriendly gaze before speaking arrogantly:
"I'm looking for Jiang Can!"
“Sister Jiang Can is resting upstairs,” Sang Qing said politely. “May I ask who you are…?”
Before he could finish speaking, the woman impatiently pushed him away.
"Hey, you can't just go in like that!" Sang Qing stepped forward to pull her, but was pushed away and stumbled.
"Where did this brat come from, daring to touch me? Open your dog eyes and look around! I'm Mrs. Fu! Huo Zhixing's aunt!"
Sang Qing was startled.
Sun Meifen gave a disdainful snort and continued walking inside, but once inside the villa, she was like a completely different person. Downstairs, she called out enthusiastically, "Can Can! My dear Can Can, are you home? Your auntie's here to see you, hahaha..."
A sudden, deafening boom echoed in Sang Qing's ears as she heard the woman's voice, the one she'd overheard on the day she was kidnapped, ring out with unmistakable clarity—"Darling, are you in there? I'm here!"
Her heart pounded as she stared intently at Sun Meifen's retreating figure, slowly following her step by step.
