The capital city.
The Chen Family Mansion.
In the study, a middle-aged man with graying temples and narrow eyes was reading a book.
He is Chen Rulong, the chairman of Tianjiao Group.
Knock knock!
Two knocks, neither too loud nor too soft.
"Come in!"
Chen Rulong spoke calmly, his voice both refined and authoritative.
Xiao Wenwei, dressed in a light blue embroidered cheongsam, came in with a glass of warm water and a few pills, and said softly, "Rulong, it's time to take your medicine."
Chen Rulong's gaze never left the book. He calmly said, "Put it on the desk. I'll eat it later."
Hsiao Wen-wei: "The doctor instructed me to take the medicine on time..."
Chen Rulong looked up: "I told you to put it on the desk and eat it later!"
Xiao Wenwei and Chen Rulong looked at each other for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then remember to eat later."
As he spoke, he placed the glass of warm water and a few pills on the desk.
However, she did not leave immediately.
Instead, she acted like a virtuous wife and loving mother, helping Chen Rulong tidy his desk while softly saying, "The doctor said Xiao Kai's injuries are recovering well, and he should be able to be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate in a couple of days."
Chen Rulong: "Oh!"
Xiao Wenwei: "Rulong, Xiaokai has grown up. Shouldn't you give him some shares in the company and arrange a position for him so he can learn how to manage a company?"
Chen Rulong said, "Let's talk about it after his injuries have healed!"
Xiao Wenwei paused for two seconds, then slowly said, "There's one more thing."
Chen Rulong said, "Speak!"
Xiao Wenwei said, "My brother is dead. His body was just brought back by a group of mysterious people."
Chen Rulong stopped reading, looked up, and stared at Xiao Wenwei.
Xiao Wenwei said in a deep voice, "But I know very well that my brother was killed by Chen Yun!"
Chen Rulong said, "Let's call the police!"
Xiao Wenwei was taken aback: "Huh?"
Chen Rulong calmly said, "Since you know that Chen Yun was the killer, then call the police!"
Xiao Wenwei's expression turned somewhat unpleasant upon hearing this.
She told Chen Rulong about this, wanting his opinion. She wanted either a firm decision on how to severely punish Chen Yun, or for Chen Rulong to clearly state that Chen Kai was the heir to the Chen family. That was what she wanted!
She needed to know whether Chen Rulong's heart belonged to her son or to that remnant of Chen Yun's family.
She demanded a clear explanation from Chen Rulong!
But to her surprise, Chen Rulong actually told her to call the police!
Is this a question of whether or not to call the police?
This is a question of who will inherit the Chen family business in the future!
Xiao Wenwei was very dissatisfied with her husband's attitude of avoiding the topic, but she quickly calmed down and changed the subject, saying intentionally or unintentionally, "There's one more thing. I heard that you are very interested in the port terminal that China Overseas is about to build, and you are planning to go to China Overseas in person to win the operating rights of the port?"
Chen Rulong smiled slightly and said calmly, "The South has developed rapidly in recent years. Our business focus has always been on the North, but we will definitely have to shift to the South in the future. Taking over Zhonghai Port is the first step in our southward development, and it is of paramount importance. Therefore, I plan to go there personally."
Xiao Wenwei said, "Is it necessary for you to go while you're sick?"
Chen Rulong said, "Yes!"
A barely perceptible glint of anger flashed in Xiao Wenwei's eyes, and her tone became emotional as she questioned, "There are so many senior executives in the company, you could have just sent anyone to take charge. Why did you insist on going despite being sick? Was it really for business, or for that little bastard Chen Yun?"
Chen Rulong's face darkened: "Are you questioning me?"
Xiao Wenwei said, "I need an explanation from you. People outside are saying that you want to bring that little beast Chen Yun back to inherit the family business. Do you really want to do that? If so, please kick me and Xiao Kai out of the house first."
Chen Rulong's face showed anger, but looking at Xiao Wenwei, who was equally unyielding and demanding an explanation from him, he thought about how she already controlled a considerable number of shares in Tianjiao Group, and that most of the senior executives in the group were her people.
His expression finally softened, and he said, "What belongs to Xiao Kai will always belong to Xiao Kai, and no one can take it away. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Xiao Wenwei's face lit up with joy, but she immediately feigned guilt and said, "Rulong, I'm not forcing you to make a statement, but there are so many rumors going around, and I'm worried that you might make a mistake and bring that little bastard Chen Yun back..."
Chen Rulong said coldly, "I'm tired and want to read a book in peace and quiet for a while."
Xiao Wenwei nodded: "Okay then, remember to take your medicine and get some rest."
After saying that, he left, satisfied.
After watching her figure disappear, Chen Rulong coldly watched her back disappear before his gaze fell on the glass of water and a few pills on the table. He opened the trash can at his feet and casually swept all the pills on the table into the trash can.
And in the trash can lay a pile of pills.
...
China Overseas.
Guolong Hotel.
The dinner party between Chen Yun and Liang Chenglong and others had ended, but the drinking party was not over yet.
After the meal.
Liang Chenglong instructed the waiter to remove the leftover food, opened a few bottles of Moutai, and continued to discuss with Chen Yun the specifics of taking over the Zhonghai Port.
Shu Lingyue couldn't get a word in edgewise while Chen Yun was talking to Liang Chenglong and the others, but she didn't want to go back first and insisted on staying to keep Chen Yun company. So when she was bored, she would have a drink, and when others were drinking, she would have a drink too.
Before she knew it, her pretty face was flushed, her eyes were alluring, and she was seven or eight parts drunk.
When Chen Yun finished talking and got up to leave, he discovered that Shu Lingyue was already drunk.
When did she get drunk?
When Chen Yun was about to ask Shu Lingyue to leave, he discovered that Shu Lingyue was already drunk and asleep on the table.
Liang Chenglong and the others shook their heads, all indicating that they did not know.
"Shu Lingyue, wake up!"
Chen Yun shook Shu Lingyue twice and called out.
Shu Lingyue mumbled a few words in her drunken daze, then went back to sleep.
Seeing this, Liang Chenglong and the others instructed, "Mr. Chen, you can take Miss Shu home yourself. We'll be leaving now."
In an instant, Liang Chenglong, Tang Shirong, Lu Yaonan, and Wu Haidong all left.
Only Chen Yun, the drunk Shu Lingyue, and Lin Le remained at the scene.
Chen Yun was taken aback: "Why did they all leave all of a sudden? They seemed to be in a hurry?"
Lin Le thought to herself: Can I not leave now? I'm afraid of disturbing Mr. Chen's good time!
However, he only dared to say these words in his heart. If Chen Yun knew what he was thinking at this moment, he would probably twist his head off.
He coughed twice and said, "It's probably quite late, and Boss Liang and the others must be in a hurry to go home!"
Chen Yun didn't think too much about it, but looked at the drunk Shu Lingyue with worry: "I've been drinking and can't drive, and she's drunk too. Now what are we going to do?"
Lin Le immediately flattered, "Yes, yes, Mr. Chen, you're drunk and can't drive. Miss Shu is drunk too. Why don't you stay at our hotel for the night? I'll have someone prepare a presidential suite for you two right away..."
No one noticed that Shu Lingyue, who was drunk and slumped on the table, tensed up slightly.
Her already rosy cheeks seemed to have become even more radiant.
Upon hearing Lin Le's words, Chen Yun's face darkened. He gave Lin Le a cold look and cursed, "What did you say? What do you mean by preparing a room for us to stay in for the night? What nonsense! I told you to call a female waitress who can drive to take me and Shu Lingyue back!"
Lin Le was stunned upon hearing this, and sweat instantly beaded on his forehead. He hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I was just joking. I'll find someone to take you two back right away."
Shu Lingyue, who was fast asleep on the table after getting drunk, fluttered her eyelashes twice. The shyness on her face disappeared, replaced by a look of embarrassment and disappointment...
