"Li Jian, is he your..." Xu Chen glanced at Li Jian's business card and asked Li Cheng curiously.
"It's nothing, but it's said that the Tang family is behind this person."
"It's not easy. With the Tang family backing you up, you can still be so humble and cautious. But I guess it's because he knows your identity, Fatty."
Wang Li glanced at the dishes on the table and poured wine for Xu Chen and Li Cheng.
"Thank you, sister-in-law! Boss, let's have a drink!"
"Cheers!"
Li Cheng picked up some food for Xu Chen and continued, "Boss, how's the house? Let me know if there's anything you need me to arrange, and I'll have my men deliver it to you."
"The house is not bad, Li Cheng, thank you for your thoughtfulness."
The fat man patted Xu Chen on the shoulder. "Boss, we're like brothers. Besides, if it weren't for you giving me such a great platform like Liren, I'd probably still be a good-for-nothing playboy at home."
After Li Cheng finished speaking, he seemed to remember something, glanced at Xu Chen, but was too embarrassed to ask, so he lowered his head and ate his food.
"Fatty, just say what's on your mind." Xu Chen noticed Li Cheng's hesitation.
"Boss, what's going on between you and the Tang family...?"
"I don't know, I also find it very strange. Maybe it's because the Tang family's son is back and they want to change the status quo?"
"Tang Hua is a person who likes scientific research and doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of aristocratic families. He has a rather introverted personality. He pursued his wife for a long time in college. Later, I guessed that someone told that woman about Tang Hua's identity, otherwise she wouldn't have married into the Tang family. So, I guess the one who wanted to change the status quo was this strong-willed woman."
Wang Li asked curiously, "Fatty, is it possible that she has developed feelings for Tang Hua over time?"
Li Cheng shook his head. "When Tang Hua was pursuing her, she had a boyfriend. She was just keeping Tang Hua hanging on. I don't believe in the so-called 'love grows over time' phenomenon."
"Li Cheng, how did you find out about these things concerning the Tang family?"
"No one talks about it much these days, but Tang Hua's pursuit of love used to be a hot topic all over Beijing."
After finishing their meal, Xu Chen and his two companions left the private room and went to the front desk to pay the bill.
"I promised to treat you, but if you insist on paying again, I won't invite you out for drinks next time."
"Fatty, we should thank you for this meal. Next time, you can pay the bill."
At the counter, Xu Chen quickly paid the bill and gave the owner, Li Jian, a deep look. He then turned to Li Cheng and whispered, "Fatty, you mean that... Li Rongyin's ex-boyfriend... could it be him?"
"I hadn't thought of that. I'll go back and check."
"You two have had enough. This has nothing to do with us, does it? Chenchen, let's go home." Wang Li pulled Xu Chen's arm and led the way out of the restaurant.
"Li Jian... how have you been lately?" Li Rongyin made a phone call from the balcony, hiding from her husband Tang Hua.
"I'm fine, Rong'er. Don't call me anymore, so your husband won't misunderstand."
"Li Jian, I... let's meet one more time, okay? I've missed you so much all these years."
"Give me an address."
"Let's stay at your hotel, shall we..."
Li Jian hung up the phone. To be honest, he didn't want to have anything to do with the woman who betrayed him. But the capital city was full of hidden talents, and if he wanted to expand his business, he couldn't do it without a powerful backer.
Late at night, Li Rongyin secretly put the things men are most interested in into her bag and said to her husband Tang Hua, "Honey, something urgent came up at the company. I have to go now. I'll make you breakfast when I get back tomorrow morning." After saying that, she showed Tang Hua the message her secretary had sent her.
"You... hurry back." Tang Hua glanced at his wife with a complicated expression, said this, and then turned over and went to sleep. Li Rongyin looked guilty, but out of longing for her first love, she still left home without hesitation. After marrying Tang Hua, she and Li Jian still secretly kept in touch occasionally, and Li Jian's business grew bigger and bigger with her support. After being under house arrest in the U.S. for several years and returning to China, her first thought was to throw herself into Li Jian's arms.
Upon arriving at the hotel, Li Rongyin hurriedly went upstairs. To be honest, although she was in her early fifties, after so many years of maintenance, she looked no different from a woman in her thirties. She still had her charm and was like a ripe peach. After glancing at her phone, she went into a room and met her first love whom she hadn't seen for many years.
"Don't talk, kiss me." Li Rongyin stopped Li Jian's meaningless small talk, took the initiative to put her arms around his neck, and the two made love. Li Jian knew Li Rongyin's body as well as his own, and he could always make Li Rongyin scream. Half an hour later, the two fell asleep in each other's arms in bed.
"Ding-dong." The two, their passion rekindled, heard the doorbell ring. Li Jian gently stroked Li Rongyin's hair and said softly, "Rong'er, the chocolate cake I ordered for you has arrived."
"I'll go get it. You wear a new one first," Li Rongyin said shyly, glancing at Li Jian. She put on Li Jian's coat and went to the door to get the takeout. But when she opened the door, she found Tang Hua and Tang Xue.
"Husband...husband...how could you..." Li Rongyin tried to close the door immediately, but Tang Xue pushed it open forcefully. In a short while, a father and daughter, a mother and daughter, a husband and wife, and an adulterous couple officially met.
"Tell me, who is he?" Tang Xue looked at her mother with a cold gaze. At this moment, her hair was messy, she was wearing a man's coat on her upper body and very transparent black stockings on her lower body, looking exactly like a delivery girl.
"He... Xue'er, you take Dad back first, I'll explain everything."
"No need to explain, I support your divorce." Tang Xue glanced at Li Jian, who was lying on the bed with a blank expression, and then turned to Li Rongyin and said.
Tang Hua remained silent throughout. Today's incident of catching his wife in adultery was because his daughter couldn't stand it anymore and dragged him over to witness it.
"Xue'er, husband! I..." Li Rongyin's eyes were filled with tears, as if she was regretting it, or as if she was crying because she didn't know how to defend herself. After seeing her daughter and husband leave, the first thing Li Rongyin did was to discuss his escape route with Li Jian.
"Li Jian, hurry up and leave Beijing. I'll book you the next flight, anywhere is fine."
"I'm not leaving, Rong'er. No matter what you say, I won't leave."
"Fine, you're not leaving. You want to take responsibility for your actions, but what about Mingkai? Do you want Mingkai to lose his father at such a young age?"
"Mingkai? He's mine...?!" Li Jian was shocked.
"He is your child! So you should leave quickly. I am a woman, and Xue'er's mother. The Tang family won't do anything to me."
"Okay, I'm leaving... Rong'er, please take good care of yourself!"
