Lin Keying was about to reach the peak of her life, getting promoted, getting a raise, and buying a house, but she died suddenly from working overtime. One day she became the self-deprecating and g...
Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Meeting the "fiancé"
Chen Songxian was silenced by his cousin's question. He looked embarrassed and quite afraid. He could only talk non-stop: "Cousin, you have great powers. There is nothing you can't solve. I dare not let grandfather and mother know about this, nor do I dare to show up to see anyone. Please help me get rid of them."
Naturally, no one dared to interfere with the child bride chosen by Mr. Chen for his eldest grandson. Chen Songxian didn't dare to dismiss him casually now. If the old man knew about this in the future, and he didn't handle it smoothly enough, he would be in trouble.
Originally, Chen Songxian was planning to bring the person to him and deal with her secretly, which was nothing more than using money to send her away. However, he had a dream these two days. In the dream, he used one million yuan to send the person back to the mainland, but left behind the ship records of the child bride entering and leaving Hong Kong. A few years later, she was discovered by the old man and he was beaten half to death. He woke up directly from the dream in shock.
The nightmare sounded the alarm for Chen Songxian, and he could not come forward to deal with the matter.
And the only person who can handle things perfectly is naturally my cousin! If they wanted to send the child bride back to the mainland, only their cousin, who controlled half of Hong Kong's shipping, could completely erase the record of the child bride's travel to Hong Kong so that her grandfather would not find out.
Chen Songxian's wishful thinking went well, but Cheng Wanting did not make a clear statement.
She knew that her cousin had always been unruly, but the Chen family was wealthy and powerful, and Chen Songxian was the eldest grandson, so a child bride from a rural area in mainland China was indeed not worthy of him. He knew what was going on, but he deliberately left his cousin alone for a while. After the meal was over, he spoke vaguely, "Let's talk about it later."
Chen Songxian really wanted his cousin to give a clear answer, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions even if he had ten thousand guts. He could only follow his cousin downstairs, open the car door himself like a lackey, and was amazed at this new Rolls-Royce Silver Spike.
He also wanted to buy a luxury car worth three hundred thousand pounds, but his father scolded him as a prodigal son. Only his cousin, the actual leader of the Cheng family, could buy it whenever he wanted and was generous with his money, and no one could stop him.
In the priceless luxury car, Cheng Wanting closed his eyes for a moment and murmured, "What's the current situation of Song Xian's child bride?"
Secretary Yang quickly replied, "I heard that it was decided by Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen back then, but there was no communication between the mainland and Hong Kong City during those years. Mrs. Chen passed away, and Mr. Chen was bedridden, so no one cared about it. This time, it was the old housekeeper of the Chen family who stayed in the mainland who tried hard to contact us, but the news was blocked by Young Master Chen. Mr. Chen was recuperating and didn't know about it."
Secretary Yang quickly reported the information he had found. Seeing that his eldest master had not expressed his opinion, he asked again, "Young Master, shall we go and solve this matter now?"
Cheng Wanting narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Let him hang out for a while. We can't let him get so comfortable. If we say that the problem is solved, he will be so proud of himself."
Secretary Yang nodded, knowing that the eldest young master wanted to teach Young Master Chen a lesson. After all, Young Master Chen's behavior was absurd. If the eldest young master hadn't remembered his aunt's kindness, how could he have helped Young Master Chen solve his problems again and again.
——
Watching his cousin get into the luxury car he had been dreaming of and leave, Chen Songxian applauded the back-up plan he had prepared. He was worried that his cousin would not agree to this, so he had already instructed Ah Hui to send the child bride directly to the mid-mountain villa under his cousin's name.
Firstly, hiding someone in the property under his name would be easily discovered by his grandfather or mother. Secondly, apart from the Cheng family mansion, his cousin's favorite place to be alone is the villa halfway up the mountain. Now that he has sent the person there, he will have to take care of it even if he doesn't want to. It can be said that he kills two birds with one stone.
Chen Songxian, who thought he had resolved the matter, drove his Bentley home. The car slowly drove into the villa in Repulse Bay. The two white houses were staggered, and the blue and white color of the open-air swimming pool in the backyard complemented each other.
"Songxian, that Lin..." Chen Huagao, the uncle of the Chen family, who could no longer remember the name of Chen Songxian's child bride fourteen years ago, saw his nephew finally coming back, and hurriedly called him aside to ask, "Has the issue of the child bride been resolved?"
"It's resolved. The person has been sent to my cousin." Chen Songxian ignored his cousin's vague reply and said confidently, "How can I not be at ease with my cousin's help? I estimate that the child bride will board the ship to return to the mainland tonight."
"That's good." Chen Songxian's aunt Song Xiujuan fed her father-in-law medicine and went downstairs. She felt relieved after hearing the conversation between her husband and nephew. Her beautiful dress made her look a little bloated with her plump figure and round face. She tilted her triangular eyes slightly, revealing a little contempt, "Dad shouldn't have arranged a child bride. If Songxian really married a country girl from the mainland, I think the whole of Hong Kong would laugh at our Chen family for three months."
Chen Huagao agreed: "Dad is confused, but we are not. How can we let a village girl in?"
Song Xiujuan smiled widely and agreed with her husband's words, completely forgetting that her family also came from the mainland more than ten years ago, and had prospered in Hong Kong over the years and had become a wealthy family with billions of assets. There are countless people who want to marry into the Chen family, so how could it be possible for a village girl to get it for free?
"Songxian, even if your grandfather knew about this, your uncle and I would still stand on your side." Song Xiujuan knew that her nephew was a playboy and had dated countless girlfriends. She didn't want to be bothered by him, but she envied his relationship with the Cheng family. "I heard that your cousin is going to marry the daughter of HSBC Director Li. Does he still want to help you with the child bride issue?"
Chen Songxian waved his hands, with a firm look on his face: "My cousin can't even get close to a female mosquito. Let alone my uncle asking my cousin to marry, even if my cousin can say a few words to a woman in a soft voice, I will twist his head off!"
When Song Xiujuan heard this, her smile became even brighter. She was thinking about arranging an arrangement for her relative's daughter to marry into the Cheng family. After all, the Chen family is wealthy and powerful, but it is still far behind the Cheng family. If they have this kind of kinship, it will be a great benefit!
…
At that time, Lin Keying, the "country girl" as the Chen family called her, was being driven by Ah Hui into Cheng Wanting's home in a villa in the Mid-Levels.
Different from the Chen family's mansions in Repulse Bay and the Cheng family's mansions in Deep Water Bay, which are beside the water and the sea, the Mid-Levels Villas are in a unique location. The white buildings are hidden among the lush greenery, and looking down from a high place, there is a sense of grandeur that overlooks the port city.
After the wealthy businessman and his family fled to Hong Kong City, the original body depended on the old housekeeper and lived a hard life. Although Lin Keying lived in a new era, she was just an ordinary office worker. She worked hard for ten years before she got a promotion and a raise, and bought her own two-bedroom house.
That’s it, I haven’t enjoyed it yet.
At this moment, the luxury houses from the 1980s occupy the sight powerfully and domineeringly. The smooth and beautiful two-story villa is bright white, and the sunlight reflects the white with a colorful beauty.
Think about your own small apartment and compare it with the mansion you lived in forty years ago. Whoever thinks about it will feel sad.
The dark brown iron door was pushed open from both sides by the bodyguards. While welcoming the car, the housekeeper and the driver Ah Hui in the mansion were communicating in Cantonese, which Lin Keying could not understand.
"Uncle Zhong, our eldest young master has already made an agreement with Young Master Cheng to leave him here. Please take care of him."
"This..." The housekeeper of the Mid-Levels villa was personally selected by Cheng Wanting. Uncle Zhong was loyal to the Cheng family and naturally knew the eldest young master's temper.
How can we allow others to live here? Even the eldest young master's brothers and sisters are no longer allowed to stay here.
Uncle Zhong didn't dare to make any decision after hearing this. He called Secretary Yang, but was interrupted as soon as he started talking.
"Minghui, is the young master busy? Young Master Chen asked the young master for help, so he sent..."
"Uncle Zhong, the eldest young master has something important to deal with. He already knows about Young Master Chen's affairs. You don't need to worry about it."
After hanging up the phone, Uncle Zhong and Mrs. Hua looked at each other in surprise. There actually was a woman living in this mansion!
Lin Keying had never lived in such a luxurious house in her life. It was magnificent and exquisite in every detail. Even the living room was so spacious that it was several times larger than a house in Ning City. The two-story hall was illuminated by the huge crystal chandelier on the ceiling, which was shining brightly.
Lin Keying knew that the wealthy businessman's family was wealthy, but she didn't expect that it would remain the same after they fled to Hong Kong.
There is very little information about the original body's fiancé's family in the book. Lin Keying found out in the million-word plot that the original body called her fiancé "Young Master".
Living in a luxury house in Hong Kong, Lin Keying is just waiting for this young master to get impatient and spend money on her. If he gives her one million to get rid of her, she will be willing to cancel the engagement immediately!
However, good wishes were dashed after waiting day after day.
Lin Keying had lived in the villa halfway up the mountain for three days but still hadn't waited for her fiancé, the eldest son, to arrive. All she could do was stare at the housekeeper, servants, and cook in the villa all day. They only know Hong Kong dialect, and I don't speak it, so communication is mostly done by gestures and guesswork, which is really difficult.
Uncle Zhong is usually smiling and kind, while Sister Hua is quick and decisive. They are the two people in charge of the villa. The other servants mostly seem to be doing nothing.
Well, this huge mansion has no owner at all, it's really idle.
Lin Keying listened to Mrs. Hua and Ah Mei complaining that the eldest young master had not come for many days and they had nowhere to send the soup they cooked. They were really sad.
The servants in the villa were also curious about the woman who suddenly moved in. Although Miss Lin was dressed in a rustic way, even worse than the poor people in Kowloon Walled City, she looked really good.
Mrs. Hua's imagination was full of imagination, and she whispered to Uncle Zhong, "Could it be that Miss Lin was given to the eldest young master by Young Master Chen?"
Uncle Zhong shook his head: "Young Master Chen is capable of such a thing. Didn't he even clamor to introduce a woman to the eldest young master last year? But how could the eldest young master listen to him?"
After muttering about this all day long, the servants who had been idle in the villa halfway up the mountain finally saw the eldest master Cheng Wanting late at night on the fifth day after Lin Keying moved in.
The doors opened and closed from the left and right, and the secretary accompanied Cheng Wanting out of the car: "Master, I'll go call Uncle Zhong and Mrs. Hua..."
"No need." Cheng Wanting's eyes were clear, but his expression was obviously unhappy. He just waved his hand to let the secretary go back, and then ordered, "It's late at night. I don't need to serve you. You go back and rest."
After saying that, he walked into the main house alone, closed the door, and isolated the secretary's worried gaze behind the door.
Cheng Wanting likes quietness and is always kind to servants. Most of the time, he doesn't have to serve them specially. Especially tonight, he had an argument with his father and was scolded by him, so he was in a bad mood.
As shipping has declined in recent years, Cheng Wanting has already started to transform, acquiring several pieces of land and properties, and owning two major land development blocks and a shopping mall building. But his father Cheng Guanjie preferred to stick to the shipping business and refused to move, so the two had several arguments over this.
After dialing the phone, Cheng Wanting's deep voice sounded in the living room: "Liu Zhigao has already taken action. He will grab the shares within three days. I will sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Let them fight first..."
In the dead of night, a faint sound came from the living room, waking up Lin Keying who was living in the guest room on the first floor.
It seemed to be the voice of a young man.
Her heart was pounding. Lin Keying hid the embroidery needle she used to mend clothes in her palm and slowly turned the doorknob. In the dim light of the moon, she vaguely saw the tall figure in the living room.
His broad shoulders were as sharp as a mountain, and he was leaning lazily on the sofa, acting like a master, with a bit of dominance.
The man's deep Cantonese voice came intermittently. Lin Keying could not understand a word. She was only confused in her heart, wondering who was the man who could appear here openly in the middle of the night? Could it be that he was her original fiancé who had never appeared - the eldest master/Song Xian?
Lin Keying opened the door quietly and walked out with bated breath. However, in the blink of an eye, the man who was originally sitting on the sofa disappeared.
Just as she leaned half of her body out to look around, a gust of cold wind seemed to blow, bringing a chill that seeped into her bones, and the cold barrel of a gun pressed against her forehead like a ghost.
Behind the dark and slender hands and the gun were a pair of cold eyes, and a cold voice rang out: "Who?"
Lin Keying has been law-abiding for more than 20 years, but she never expected that she would be held at gunpoint just a few days after traveling through time!
