Sunday noon.
Chu Jiang came back for a free meal, just like yesterday, and also to see his sweet and soft girlfriend.
He felt like he was about to die.
A day apart feels like three autumns.
He missed Xi Ran terribly. As soon as filming was over, he rushed home. Even just seeing Xi Ran for a moment made him feel very satisfied and happy for a long time.
He's already poisoned by love; he's doomed to be in Xi Ran's hands for life.
The family was enjoying a happy lunch when three uninvited guests arrived at the Chu family home.
Chu Wentao was quite surprised that Chen Jingsong and his family of three had come to his door all of a year, which puzzled him greatly.
They probably guessed what it was.
Yesterday, gossip about the Chen Group was circulating widely.
Have you eaten?
Chen Jingsong shook his head. He had been working on crisis management since yesterday. One wave of negative news after another kept coming, and he couldn't suppress them at all. He hadn't slept for a long time, trying to find a way to save the stock price of the Chen Group. From yesterday until now, he hadn't had a single meal of peace.
Not yet.
Chu Wentao invited them to sit down, "Then what are we waiting for? Sit down and eat together. Aunt Zhang, please prepare three sets of bowls and chopsticks."
Aunt Zhang nodded, and soon brought over three bowls of rice, handing them to the three of them one by one.
The three of them were indeed hungry, and they began to wolf down their food. They ate the fragrant rice and delicious dishes with great appetite, and before long, more than half of the food on the table was gone.
After finishing a bowl of rice, Chen Jingsong seemed to realize something and awkwardly scratched his head.
"I'm so sorry, I've been busy since yesterday and only now can I have a proper meal. I apologize for the rudeness; the three of us ate all the food on the table. I'll treat you to a big meal another day."
Chu Jiangning sat to one side, his eyes shining brightly.
"Really? Can I order? Do you have a budget?"
Chen Jingsong smiled and said, "There's no budget, order whatever you like."
"Hey! You're such a nice person. Have you eaten yet? If you haven't, ask Aunt Zhang to cook some more delicious food. But you can't forget about treating us to a big meal."
"Definitely, definitely."
Chu Wentao glared at Chu Jiangning, then waved his hand at Chen Jingsong, "Don't listen to that brat. She's always been rude. Don't mind her, Brother Chen."
"How could that be? I think this girl is adorable."
Then he looked at Chu Jiangning kindly and said, "Uncle promised to treat you to a big meal, and he will definitely keep his promise."
Wow! Thank you, Uncle!
"You're welcome!"
"Brother Chen, don't listen to that girl. You've been very busy lately, how could you have extra time to treat others? I've also heard a bit about what's going on with the Chen Group. How do you plan to resolve that Sun Qing issue?"
“That girl is not someone to be trifled with. She can come up with a way to kill a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of her own. You need to be careful and choose a way that benefits both sides. Don’t let that girl control you, or you’ll have no good days ahead.”
With snot and tears streaming down his face, Chen Jingsong sobbed as he recounted his grievances.
"Brother Chu! I should have listened to you back then and negotiated properly with the girl. Otherwise, things would have turned out this way. That girl is a ruthless character. Anyone who messes with her will definitely suffer the consequences."
Chen Jingsong tapped Chen Yang's head, looking at him with a disappointed expression, "It's all this brat's fault. Of all the people he could have messed with, he brought back such a ruthless person. Chen's stock price has plummeted."
"Chen Yang's fiancée broke off the engagement yesterday. My head is spinning and I can't think straight. I can't make up my mind. Brother Chu, you're a smart man. Please think of a good way to get through this."
Chu Wentao thought for a while and pointed out the problem incisively, "Now we need to figure out what Sun Qing really wants. Try to satisfy her, appease her, and most importantly, make her shut down Douyin Daddy's live stream as soon as possible to minimize the damage and prevent any more scandals from spreading, otherwise even a miracle can't save you."
Chen Yang said sarcastically, "What she wants has always been very clear."
Everyone looked at him with puzzled expressions.
Chen Yang sighed, "Sun Qing doesn't want those few million. She wants much more. She doesn't care about a few million. What she wants is a hen that lays eggs... The Chen Group. What she wants is the status of the heir's wife. She has always been very ambitious. During our courtship, she kept asking what my parents liked in order to please them."
"Actually, I already knew Sun Qing when I was a sophomore. She would intentionally or unintentionally appear in front of me, trying to seduce me. At that time, I had a girlfriend and didn't have time to pay attention to her."
"Later, after I broke up with my girlfriend, Sun Qing would often appear in places I frequented and pretend to bump into me. That's how I gradually learned about her."
"After asking around, I found out she was the school beauty. I thought she was quite pretty, so I bought her 999 roses, and she immediately agreed to be my girlfriend."
Chu Jiang was also very surprised. It turned out that Sun Qing had her eye on Chen Yang back then. He had been presumptuous and pestered Sun Qing for six years. Strictly speaking, he wasn't even a backup option.
Should he cry or laugh?
He must have been laughing, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the bar to drown his sorrows and thus met Xi Ran.
He should be most grateful to Sun Qing for rejecting him now that he has such a sweet and adorable girlfriend.
Chu Wentao frowned. "Actually, she's pregnant with your child, so it's only right that you marry her. What's there to be conflicted about?"
