Liang Qianxia glanced at Sun Zhiyang and Xu Yingying beside her, then asked Chen Yun, "What's going on with them?"
Chen Yun smiled and said, "It's nothing serious!"
After saying that, he briefly recounted what had happened.
After understanding the whole story, Liang Qianxia raised her eyelids, glanced at the diamond necklace Xu Yingying was wearing, and said coldly, "I can't speak for other things, but I'm quite good at appraising jewelry. This necklace of hers is obviously fake!"
The guests gasped in surprise.
Although everyone had a vague suspicion that Xu Yingying's necklace was fake, they were still surprised when they heard Ms. Liang's appraisal results.
After Liang Qianxia finished speaking, she looked at the necklace Shu Tangyin was wearing and said calmly, "Miss Shu, the one you are wearing is genuine. This necklace is called Starry Eyes. It is the masterpiece of Bulgari's chief designer, Master Mellon, this year. Its market price is about 10 million!"
The guests at the scene were in an uproar.
As expected, the necklace Shu Tangyin was wearing was the real one!
"I didn't expect Xu Yingying's necklace to be fake, while Shu Tangyin's necklace was real."
"Where does Xu Yingying get the audacity to laugh at others while wearing a fake necklace?"
"This woman is too hypocritical and vain. We should stay away from people like her in the future!"
...
Hearing the surrounding guests' discussions, Xu Yingying's face flushed red, but she stubbornly insisted, "Miss Liang, do you think it's true just because you say so, or false just because you say so? You're friends with this Mr. Chen, you're clearly deliberately favoring him!"
Upon hearing his fiancée's words, Sun Zhiyang was so frightened that he immediately shouted, "Shut up! President Liang is a well-traveled and knowledgeable young lady from a wealthy family. How dare you question President Liang's judgment?"
Liang Qianxia glanced at Xu Yingying and said coldly, "I said you're wearing a fake, and you seem to disagree? I'm friends with the Bulgari store manager. Should I call him over to authenticate it on the spot?"
Xu Yingying didn't dare to say a word.
Sun Zhiyang pleaded repeatedly, "President Liang, there's no need for that. This necklace should be fake..."
Liang Qianxia, however, had no intention of letting Xu Yingying off the hook. She sneered, "As for your claim that I'm Chen Yun's friend and that I'm biased towards Chen Yun... Heh, sorry, that's just how I, Liang Qianxia, am. When something happens, I always side with my friends and take my side!"
At this point, she looked at Sun Zhiyang and said, "Sun Zhiyang, right? I hereby officially announce that you have been fired from the company and you no longer need to come to work."
boom!
Sun Zhiyang was struck as if by lightning, and his body trembled.
He had finally become a manager in the company and felt that his future was bright.
I was completely stunned when Liang Qianxia fired me today.
Xu Yingying married Sun Zhiyang because she valued his status as a white-collar worker with a good income.
Unexpectedly, the perfect husband in her eyes was crushed by Liang Qianxia's single sentence.
She looked anxious and was about to protest.
Liang Qianxia looked at her, raised her eyebrows, and said, "See? This is what it means to favor a friend!"
Xu Yingying's face was extremely pale.
Liang Qianxia, however, was too lazy to deal with the couple any longer. She instructed the hotel manager to remove the two bottles of red wine she had brought, and then said with a smile, "Chen Yun, Miss Shu, it's better not to attend this kind of scumbag's engagement party. Let's go."
Chen Yun smiled and said, "Okay!"
He took Shu Tangyin's hand and left with Liang Qianxia and the others.
I just stepped out of the Peony Hall.
Behind them came the sound of Sun Zhiyang and Xu Yingying arguing and blaming each other.
Sun Zhiyang cursed, "It's all your fault! You're so vain. Wearing a fake necklace to show off is one thing, but you also insulted your cousin and cousin's husband, causing me to lose my job. Are you satisfied now?"
Xu Yingying threw a tantrum and yelled, "What's the use of you trying to intimidate me now? You can't even beat Chen Yun in a fight, and you're as cowardly as a dog in front of Miss Liang. Now you're yelling at me like this?"
Sun Zhiyang said angrily, "You are truly unreasonable. I must have been blind to have fallen for you. This marriage is off."
Xu Yingying retorted, "Fine, we won't get married then. You've lost your job and are nothing to me now. Do you think I need you?"
...
Hearing the couple behind him start fighting like dogs, Chen Yun shook his head slightly and left with Shu Tangyin and the others.
Leaving the hotel.
Liang Qianxia and her bodyguards bid farewell and left.
Chen Yun and Shu Tangyin also got into their Continental and drove home.
On the road.
Shu Tangyin sighed softly, "I never expected something like this to happen at my cousin's engagement party, and I never imagined that my cousin would be this kind of person."
Chen Yun comforted her, "Don't blame yourself. This isn't your fault. We've already been patient enough at the beginning. Besides, it's good to see the true colors of these relatives sooner rather than later, so we can stay away from bad people and bad things in the future."
Shu Tangyin nodded.
Suddenly, she remembered something, quickly picked up the necklace around her neck, and said seriously, "Chen Yun, did you really buy this necklace for 9.99 million?"
Chen Yun: "Mm!"
Shu Tangyin scolded, "Why did you buy such an expensive thing?"
Chen Yun smiled and said, "Because I want to give you the best!"
Upon hearing this, Shu Tangyin felt her heart soften, and the words she had wanted to say about Chen Yun's wasteful spending vanished.
She looked at the man before her with tender eyes, her mind filled with only one thought: to grow old with him.
"Chen Yun!"
"Um?"
"Didn't you say you'd take me back to the capital to pay respects at your mother's grave? When are we going?"
Chen Yun was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, and then replied softly, "It's not the right time yet. After I've settled some things, I'll take you to pay respects to my mother and tell her that you are my wife."
In Zhonghai, although he and Zhao Qingyu had gone through the divorce proceedings, the cooling-off period had not yet ended, and the divorce certificate had not yet been issued.
Back in the capital, he regarded Chen Kai's family as his mother's killers, while Chen Kai and his mother also regarded him as a thorn in their side, wanting to get rid of him as soon as possible.
Only after dealing with Chen Kai's family will he take Shu Tangyin to his mother's grave to pay respects and comfort her spirit in heaven.
Shu Tangyin knew that Chen Yun had left the capital with a deep-seated hatred, and that there were still enemies of Chen Yun in the capital. So she comforted Chen Yun, saying, "Don't worry, let's work hard together and go back to the capital together to pay respects to Mother."
Chen Yun said, "Okay!"
...
The capital city.
Tianjiao Group Building.
On the top floor, in the CEO's office.
A noble and beautiful woman in a light blue embroidered cheongsam stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the city scenery outside with an air of supreme authority.
She is Mrs. Chen, Chen Kai's mother, and the president of Tianjiao Group, Xiao Wenwei.
Behind Xiao Wenwei stood two men with their hands hanging down.
A burly man in a black suit with double doors, this man was her capable subordinate, Wang Shuang.
The other middle-aged man, wearing a floral shirt and sporting a small mustache, was her younger brother, Xiao Wenbing.
"Wang Shuang, I asked you to contact the Dark Night organization to eliminate Chen Yun. How did you do with that?"
Wang Shuang lowered his head and said, "I was just about to report this to Madam, but I messed it up."
Xiao Wenwei asked, clearly displeased: "Hmm?"
Wang Shuang forced a smile and said, "The Dark Night Organization sent the Gemini assassins to deal with Chen Yun, but they failed. Moreover, the Dark Night Organization must have offended some powerful figure, because they were completely wiped out overnight."
Xiao Wenwei was somewhat surprised: "The Dark Night Organization was wiped out overnight?"
Wang Shuang said, "Yes! If we want to deal with Chen Yun, we'll probably have to contact other assassin organizations again."
At this moment, Xiao Wenbing curled his lip and said, "Sister, do we really need to go around looking for assassins to kill that little bastard Chen Yun? Leave this to me, I'll get it done for you in a few days."
Xiao Wenwei said coldly, "It's best to leave this matter to an outsider, otherwise your brother-in-law will be unhappy if he finds out."
Xiao Wenbing snorted coldly: "If he's unhappy, he's unhappy. He's already old, and he's quite ill now. Now that you're in charge of the Chen family, do you need to care about his feelings? Besides, he secretly wanted to bring Chen Yun back. Didn't he care about your feelings at all?"
Xiao Wenwei snapped, "Shut up! Your brother-in-law is sick, but he's not dead yet! As long as he's alive, he's still the one who calls the shots in this family. You'd better watch your words from now on!"
Xiao Wenbing was still somewhat unconvinced: "Sister, I will be more careful with my words in the future, but Chen Yun must be eliminated as soon as possible! Otherwise, if brother-in-law really brings Chen Yun back, and Chen Yun is the eldest son, he should inherit the Chen family business, and then Xiao Kai will be in trouble!"
Xiao Wenwei frowned.
Xiao Wenbing advised, "Sister, hesitation will only lead to more trouble! Let me personally take action and eliminate that troublemaker Chen Yun."
Xiao Wenwei finally relented: "How confident are you?"
Xiao Wenbing patted his chest and said, "I'm absolutely certain that if I can't kill Chen Yun, I'll die in Zhonghai and never come back to see you."
Xiao Wenwei scolded, "Don't talk nonsense, or your words might come true!"
Immediately, she made up her mind and instructed, "Since you are so confident, then Chen Yun will be left to you to deal with. You will set off for Zhonghai tomorrow to eliminate Chen Yun. Remember not to make a fuss."
Xiao Wenbing grinned and said, "Yes!"
