Chapter 124 Going back so early, crying because he misses his wife!

After a long while, as the music in the private room grew louder and louder, he finally asked, "Am I being greedy?"

Gu Beiming looked at the screen: "Don't you know what you're doing? You speak so eloquently when others are talking, but when it comes to yourself, you become confused?"

"How can that be the same? I only have Ji Tanyuan. If we make up, the benefits will come. It's a win-win situation."

“Yes, for you.” Gu Beiming patted his shoulder.

Zhong Yan looked suspicious. "Gu Beiming, have you been studying the psychology of love lately?"

Gu Beiming sighed, "My girlfriend is taking the entrance exam for her psychology doctorate recently. She has some books at home, and I read some of them when I was bored."

Zhong Yan nodded: "Then push that book towards me, I'll take a look too."

He remembered that Ji Tanyuan had said she preferred Adler.

Cheng Gengxu hung up the phone and went into the private room, where he saw Zhong Yan and Gu Beiming whispering together.

He approached, sat down, and said directly, "The person who just called me is the secretary to the mayor of Qing City. The government-enterprise talks regarding Jinglong Group's establishment in Qing City are about to begin, and Ji Tanyuan is going there. She also asked you if you're interested in opening a branch there, since you're a couple."

Zhong Yan lowered his head, not very interested: "I'm not going."

After he finished speaking, he thought for a moment and asked Cheng Gengxu, "Aren't you just an investor? Why do you seem like the person in charge now?"

Cheng Gengxu's expression was indifferent as he said matter-of-factly, "As the largest investor, I will occupy the most important seat on the board of directors in the future, so of course I am qualified."

"Ji Tanyuan has been very busy lately, so I had to do it for her."

Zhong Yan thought that it wasn't that Ji Tanyuan was busy, but that she deliberately made Cheng Gengxu do it. Cheng Gengxu had it too easy because of his background in the Beijing circle, he could get along well anywhere.

Zhong Yan scoffed, "She'd rather use you than Mrs. Zhong's background now."

This shows how determined they are.

Cheng Gengxu didn't care about his sarcastic tone. He was a lunatic. If you take it seriously, you'll lose.

Zhong Yan checked the time, stood up, and said, "Let's go."

"You'll be alone when you go back, so why bother? Going back so early, are you going to lie in bed crying and missing your wife?"

Zhong Yan glanced at Cheng Gengxu. "At least I have that. Do you?"

Cheng Gengxu narrowed his eyes slightly, "You're about to die."

Zhong Yan scoffed and continued to provoke, "Who said that? I still have a lifetime to live! Do you? It's not even certain whether you'll be able to call Xin Gan 'wife' in this lifetime."

Cheng Gengxu was probably drunk and intoxicated. "How can you be so sure I won't marry Xin Gan?"

"Is it because the two families aren't well-matched? Are your parents willing to accept this?"

Cheng Gengxu nodded: "Okay, if Ji Tanyuan's family background isn't very good either, would you still marry her?"

“That would be fantastic,” Zhong Yan said indifferently.

He then waved and left.

Cheng Gengxu had a serious expression, but Gu Beiming was watching the show with a mocking expression: "It used to be quite a rare sight to see Zhong Yan trapped like this."

Zhong Yan used to be so spirited and ambitious. Nothing could make him bow his head. He looked casual and lazy, but in reality, he was always arrogant and disdainful.

Now let's look at the present.

Cheng Gengxu kicked him: "Do you believe that?"

Gu Beiming was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"What did he do before? Mergers and acquisitions, hostile takeovers, and capital attacks."

What I fear most is that Zhong Yan might act erratically and turn against the Ji family in order to get Ji Tanyuan.

Gu Beiming stopped lounging around and sat up when he heard this. "What do you mean?"

Cheng Gengxu glanced at him: "Stupid."

Without offering any explanation, he simply got up and left.

It was 2 a.m. when Cheng Gengxu left the Manhe Club. His driver had been waiting for a long time.

Xin Gan waited for four hours before Cheng Gengxu finally entered the room.

He saw the light in the living room and saw Xingan huddled obediently in the corner of the sofa, half asleep.

Startled awake by the noise, she looked up and saw misty eyes that softened one's heart.

He said gently, "Why aren't you asleep yet? Waiting for me?"

Having been a star for so long, Xin Gan has become even more stunning and confident, both in terms of temperament and appearance. It's true that fame brings good fortune.

However, it also gave rise to other thoughts, because Cheng Gengxu heard her next sentence.

Let's break up.

Cheng Gengxu pinched her nose, "Are you still half asleep?"

"No."

Cheng Gengxu stopped laughing, his voice turning cold, "What rumors have you heard?"

"They're all fake."

Xin Gan's hair was loose over her shoulders, her soft, long hair covering her back, with a few strands brushing against her cheeks. Her nose was bright red, and she looked pitiful.

"It's not fake, can't you just let me go?"

Cheng Gengxu kissed her cheek, soft and fragrant, "My darling, don't make me angry. I will protect you."

Xingan pushed him away, saying, "I have a job, I can earn money, I can protect myself, I don't need you."

Cheng Gengxu stopped laughing, held her head, and said, "The fact that you can say something as naive as 'I can protect myself' in the entertainment industry is enough to show how well I've protected you!"

"You think your company, Caiying, truly appreciates you? Do you know that your boss's boss is actually Ji Tanyuan? It was because I invested in her that she set up a company specifically for you?"

"You think you're immune to the unspoken rules of capital because you've found a kind company? You wouldn't even know if they were laundering money under your name and getting you arrested one day!"

Xingan was so shocked that she even forgot to blink.

"What did you say?"

Seeing her bewildered expression, Cheng Gengxu felt a mix of emotions, but he still said:

"Did you think you were lucky? No, your luck isn't because of Caiying, but because of me."

He gently rubbed the back of her head, his voice tender and indulgent, but his deliberately lowered voice carried a hint of sinister authority: "Look? You don't even understand the background of your former employer, yet you say such foolish things as being able to protect yourself."

The light in Singan's eyes dimmed instantly.

Ji Tanyuan from Hujiang sneezed and rubbed her nose.

Then I touched my eyelids, and they kept twitching.
