Chen Rou still found it unbelievable: "Brother Song's business skills aren't that bad, are they? How did he manage to alarm Master Er?"
She didn't want to face the two old men right now because she planned to go back to the mainland first and try to take over the wool mill for Li Xia so that she would be busy and have something to do, which would help distract her from the pain of losing her daughter.
Then, if the South China Sea Navy makes good progress in the Philippines and needs the Nie family's support, she will naturally kill Gui Touchang first, and then slowly mediate between the two old men.
She didn't want blood to flow like a river in Kowloon, nor did she want two elderly people to die in the process of arguing with their granddaughter.
If Song Yuanchao hadn't been so incompetent, how would he have been able to win over Master Er?
It's not that Song Yuanchao's professional skills are lacking, but rather that Master Er has enough influence. The university entrance rate of the middle schools under his jurisdiction is comparable to that of the best private middle schools in Hong Kong, and they only charge for meals. Currently, a large number of civil servants in government agencies are graduates of his schools. It's easier for him to investigate something than the Nie family, and it doesn't cost him any money.
However, since his wife rarely denied her brother Song, Boss Nie was secretly pleased and could not defend Song Yuanchao.
However, he didn't criticize Song Yuanchao; he only sighed and said, "Things are a bit troublesome."
Chen Rou hurriedly asked, "Did Master Er make things difficult for you in business?"
Nie Zhao said, "There is a mudflat next to Kai Tak Airport. It was filled in by Mr. Er and his men to build houses. It is currently a shantytown. The airport's controlling shareholder, International Construction, offered HK$2.1 billion to buy it, but he refused. However, he contacted Wade today."
Hong Kong is already incredibly valuable, and Kai Tak Airport is even more so because it is crucial to the British military strategy. The international corporations belonging to the British conglomerate racked their brains, wanting nothing more than to buy it all back. This was because it was related to the British military's absolute control over Hong Kong from now until the handover. So, they were able to ask for an astronomical price for such a small piece of land.
But when he heard that he had a granddaughter who was suspected of being a wealthy woman in the Nie family, Uncle Er did not hesitate and directly threw out the piece of land that involved military initiative, asking Boss Nie if he wanted to take the challenge.
Of course, if his wife hadn't once worn a police uniform in mainland China, this matter wouldn't have been so tempting for her.
The problem now is that once the land is taken over by international construction companies, the UK will continue to expand its protective network.
But if the Nie family takes over, it's tantamount to changing its name to China ahead of time.
The difficult problem was now in Chen Rou's hands. Based on Song Yuanchao's prior inquiries, she already knew the answer: her grandfather was the one who owned the embroidered purse, Master Dong. And Master Er's son was the loser in the battle for love.
So what should we do about this?
The wife lay on her back, lost in thought. Boss Nie carefully lifted the covers and crawled in, breathing silently with her as he slowly approached her.
He didn't quite remember Chen Rou from before. Although she was said to be somewhat famous in the ballet world and would always appear as soon as he got home, he had never paid any attention to her. So it wasn't until he woke up from his coma that he realized how charming yet dangerous she was, and how deadly allure she possessed.
He wanted to taste her lips, even though he knew he was likely to get beaten up.
He wanted to get closer to her, but he also knew he might get kicked off the bed.
Nie Zhao is a normal man, and he is already 27 years old. He has normal and vigorous physical desires, and when he is certain that this woman is someone no one but him can conquer, that desire becomes especially strong.
Boss Nie stealthily approached silently, but suddenly, his wife glanced at him and said, "You don't want to sleep in my bed for the night, do you?"
Nie Zhao frowned: "You're my wife, why should we have to distinguish between your bed and mine?"
He then coughed twice, his hands tucked into his sleeves: "It's already late, I don't want to move anymore, why don't you go downstairs?"
Sure enough, his wife's gentle concern, which was always reserved for him alone, immediately came: "Are you feeling unwell? Where does it hurt?"
Boss Nie lied through his teeth, clutching his chest, "My stomach hurts a little."
Chen Rou wasn't pampered from a young age, nor did she have the habit of immediately calling the family doctor for any minor ailment. Instead, she used the most old-fashioned method, rubbing her hands together to warm them and then covering them with her hands: "You're greedy for cold things, haven't you eaten too much ice?"
This time, it was Nie Zhao who was stunned.
He said that when he had a stomachache, he was just being stubborn and didn't want to leave, but he didn't expect his wife to rub her hands together to warm them up and then crawl under his clothes to cover his chest. At the same time, she came over and rubbed her forehead against his cheek: "Luckily, you don't have a fever."
His hand was on his chest, warm and comforting. Compared to him, she was clearly small, yet so domineering, her arms around him like a fierce and powerful lioness protecting her cubs.
Nie Zhao froze instantly, mechanically feeling the soft, warm body temperature emanating from his wife.
Chen Rou noticed his fixed gaze and felt a surge of dislike, but she still patiently asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Boss Nie had overcome numerous obstacles and reached this point through his wisdom, but a sudden surge of uncontrollable jealousy and unease welled up within him. He said in a hoarse voice, "I think my wife has only ever taken care of me like this in her entire life, hasn't she?"
Chen Rou was baffled: "What kind of talk is that?"
She just rubbed his stomach to make him feel better; this guy's speech was so strange.
Nie Zhao wasn't surprised; his face was still a little distorted, and his voice was trembling: "What I mean is, you've only ever helped me relieve my stomach pain like this, and you haven't helped anyone else, have you?"
Chen Rou frowned, finding him increasingly strange.
But that's actually the case.
Nie Zhao never had any concept of chastity. The reason he didn't date while in Europe was simply because he was too eager. He needed to make money urgently and kill the people who killed his mother and brother. He didn't have much time to have romantic relationships with women. When he married Chen Rou, his mindset was that they would each have their own affairs.
