Chapter 23 Double Standards
Zheng Yanze is indeed not the second-generation rich man that Wen Yue said. He is not like his younger brother Zheng Yanhai who only knows how to go to bars and sleep with women, nor is he like some rich children who fight and race cars all day long.
After graduating and returning to China to join his own company, he can be said to be very diligent. He has never been late or left early in the years of work. Because of this, Zheng Xingguo can safely hand over most of the power to him. But
if you want to say how capable Zheng Yanze is, then he is not. After the furniture company was handed over to him, although the performance did not plummet, it was indeed declining slowly.
Moreover, with the gradual opening of the mainland market, these wealthy families in Hong Kong have begun to deploy investments in the mainland, but under the leadership of Zheng Yanze, the Zheng family has never taken that step.
So now they want to invest in the mainland, but it is too late.
The current Zheng family is actually like an old man on the decline. It still looks mighty and strong, but everyone knows that it will not last long.
As the helmsman, Zheng Yanze certainly hopes that he can turn the tide, but more often he feels powerless.
But he can't do nothing, so he can only spend more time on work every day. Every day, he goes to the company before other people in the Zheng family get up, and in the evening, unless there is something going on at home, he will return at night.
This day is the same. Zheng Yanze got up at dawn, and prepared to go to the company before 6:30 after breakfast. The headquarters of the Zheng family is in Central. If he drives there at this time, he can arrive at the company at 7 o'clock.
But this is his usual timeline. Today, as soon as he drove out of the gate, he was stopped by a reporter.
Being stopped by reporters is not uncommon in their family, especially since he has a younger brother who is on the entertainment headlines every now and then.
So Zheng Yanze's first reaction was that the driver had mistaken the person, and he was ready to drive the car past.
But just as he stepped on the accelerator, he saw the reporter who was blocking the road took out a loudspeaker from somewhere and asked loudly: "Mr. Zheng Yanze, do you know that your wife is having an affair with your brother?"
"Squeak--"
Zheng Yanze stepped on the accelerator, opened the car door and got out, grabbed the reporter by the collar and asked angrily: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Of course I know!" The reporter said as he struggled to take out a stack of newspapers from his shoulder bag, opened it and showed the front page to Zheng Yanze and said, "Mr. Zheng, this is the front page headline of the Dongjiang Entertainment News today. It says that your wife and brother are high school alumni, dated for three years in college, and broke up only after graduation and returning to China." While
the reporter was speaking, Zheng Yanze also saw the headline of the newspaper headline - shocking! The Zheng family was shocked by the scandal, why were the elder sister-in-law and younger brother hugging each other? !
When Zheng Yanze was reading the newspaper, the reporter quickly took out a camera and took a photo of Zheng Yanze, and took out a tape recorder and said to him: "Mr. Zheng, do you know that your wife and your younger brother were dating?"
"Have you noticed their relationship before? Or did you not think about it at all?"
"After seeing the news, did you feel that you were doubly betrayed? Will you divorce your wife? Or choose to forgive them?"
Although Zheng Yanze knew that Feng Wenfang and his younger brother had been dating, he also knew that the two had broken up long ago, so after getting married, he never thought that the two of them would get together.
As the reporter said, Zheng Yanze felt betrayed.
Especially when he saw the report that the two had been having an affair for three years, Zheng Yanze felt that his head was cuckolded.
You know, it has only been less than four years since he and Feng Wenfang got married. In other words, they rekindled their old love and got together not long after they got married.
The more Zheng Yanze read, the more furious he felt. The reporter was adding fuel to the fire. Finally, he couldn't help but push the reporter away: "Get out!"
After saying that, he turned around and got into the car, slammed the door, stepped on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel, turned and drove back.
"Hey! My newspaper!"
The reporter who was pushed away yelled, but his face did not show any impatience for losing the newspaper. He even had the mind to pick up the camera and "click" at the Zheng family's front door not far away, just in time to take a picture of Zheng Yanze's car rushing into the gate.
In a few breaths, he had already prepared the headline of the report in his mind-Lu Yunzhaoding suffered double betrayal, Zheng Yanze drove back home in anger!
He will definitely drink this mouthful of soup!
...
When Zheng Yanze entered the house in anger, Feng Wenfang was still asleep.
Because of the quarrel with Wen Yue the night before, she was in a bad mood these two days. Yesterday afternoon, she talked on the phone with Wen Jiaqi for nearly an hour, scolding Wen Yue the whole time.
At night, her dreams were all about Wen Yue.
She dreamed that Wen Jiadong inherited most of the Wen family's property, and Wen Yue was driven out of the house by the second wife. One day, she and Wen Jiaqi ran into Wen Yue while shopping. Wen Yue was so poor that she couldn't even afford to buy a piece of clothing worth 100,000 yuan. She slapped her twice, and Wen Yue didn't dare to say a word.
Feng Wenfang was so happy that she couldn't help laughing out loud.
But the next second she saw a "bang" sound coming from outside the dream, and then someone grabbed her collar and lifted her up, and she was slapped twice on the face.
The pain made Feng Wenfang open her eyes instantly, and a ferocious face appeared in her sight: "Bitch!"
"Husband?"
As soon as this word came out, Zheng Yanze slapped her twice again. Feng Wenfang screamed in pain: "Ah! Husband, what are you doing!" She shouted and dodged to the side.
Zheng Yanze followed and grabbed Feng Wenfang's hair, slapped her twice and scolded: "How dare you hide from me! Tell me! How did you seduce Yanhai? How long have you been having an affair behind my back?"
Feng Wenfang's face was already swollen from being slapped, and she was afraid of being slapped again, so she had to cover her face with one hand and pull Zheng Yanze's hair with the other hand, and shouted in defense: "Husband, what are you talking about! How could I seduce Yanhai? Did you hear something wrong and misunderstand something?"
"How dare you lie to me! It's all in the newspapers. You've been together for more than three years behind my back, right? Every time you said you were going on a trip, you were having an affair with him, right?"
Zheng Yanze was about to hit Feng Wenfang, but as soon as he raised his hand, he was grabbed by Zheng Yanhai who heard the noise and said, "Brother, what are you doing? You're going to beat your sister-in-law to death, do you know that?"
"She deserves to be beaten to death!"
Zheng Yanze stood up and pushed Zheng Yanhai away, rushed up and punched him in the face: "How dare you ask me what I'm doing? Did you know what you were doing when you seduced your sister-in-law? I don't care how you play with women outside! But she is your sister-in-law, you can't touch her!"
Zheng Yanhai was beaten so hard that he grimaced and asked loudly, "When did I touch her?"
"You're still trying to make excuses! The newspaper has published your bed photos, and you still dare to tell me you didn't touch her?" Zheng Yanze said angrily, picking up the newspaper that had just fallen on the ground during the fight and throwing it to Zheng Yanhai, "Now everyone in Hong Kong knows that my brother is cheating on me!"
Zheng Yanhai was afraid of being beaten again, so he leaned back to the door and opened the newspaper.
Chen Jiajun, who had been standing by the door and watching coldly since he came in, saw it, moved closer to him, and lowered her head to look at the newspaper. But she was not looking at the title of the newspaper, but the name of the newspaper, and whispered: "Dongjiang Entertainment News?"
Feng Wenfang, who was sitting on the bed with disheveled hair and sobbing in the quilt, heard these five words and suddenly raised her head and said: "This is a newspaper under Wen Yue's name! She must be deliberately making trouble for me because I offended her! Husband, the news in the newspaper is not true. I, I and Yanhai did date, but that was when we were studying abroad. It's no longer a thing. It’s been many years, I really didn’t betray you!”
Hearing this, Chen Jiajun’s eyebrows jumped and she looked at Zheng Yanhai, but she saw him let out a long sigh and replied: “Yes, that’s right, brother, it was wrong of me to hide this from you, but I didn’t expect you to marry your sister-in-law.”
Looking at Zheng Yanze again, although he looked suspicious, there was no shock in his expression. It was obvious that he had known that Feng Wenfang and Zheng Yanhai had dated.
Chen Jiajun couldn’t help but clenched her hands, sneering and thinking, okay, okay, you hid such a big thing from her, right?
She said that although Zheng Yanhai was a playboy, he was not the kind of person who would not care about anything because of his lust. He and Zheng Yanze had a good relationship, so how could he get together with Feng Wenfang?
So that's what happened!
Thinking of this, Chen Jiajun pointed to a photo in the newspaper and said, "Is this photo also taken when my sister-in-law was studying abroad? The hairstyle of my sister-in-law in the photo is exactly the same as it is now!"
Zheng Yanhai and Feng Wenfang looked at Chen Jiajun when they heard it.
The latter was not afraid at all. It was not her who was exposed to the secret affair, so she would not make up for these two people.
She even hoped that this matter would become a bigger deal, and it would be best if Zheng Yanhai and Feng Wenfang could completely break up, and they or Zheng Yanze and his wife would move out, so that she could also break up with Zheng Yanze.
Although Zheng Yanze was much better than Zheng Yanhai in terms of women and was very attentive to her, she always knew that this was walking on a tightrope.
Moreover, she could not get any benefits from this underground relationship. Although Zheng Yanze took over most of the family's industries, he had no shares and the money he could control was very limited. The gifts he bought for her could only be worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands at most. If the amount was larger, it would be risky.
She knew very well that as Zheng Yanhai's wife, she would not be the first choice even if Zheng Yanze wanted to divorce and remarry one day.
This relationship did more harm than good to her. She had wanted to break up with Zheng Yanze a long time ago. Now that the opportunity was at hand, how could she give up so easily?
So facing the two people's eyes of resentment or complaint, Chen Jiajun not only did not hold back, but also smiled and said, "Aren't you going to explain this point?"
Chen Jiajun's words ignited Zheng Yanze's anger again, and he asked loudly: "What else do you have to say?"
...
"Wow! Zheng Yanze and Chen Jiajun are a pair with strong psychological qualities!"
When the four brothers and sisters-in-law of the Zheng family confronted each other, Wen Yue had already woken up and was lying on the bed watching the system live broadcast.
Yes, just watching.
After Wen Yue's efforts, the main system finally upgraded and developed the function of live video broadcast. So this time, Wen Yue can finally watch the live broadcast synchronously with the melon-eating system, which is gratifying!
It’s just that, when Wen Yue listened to the system’s retelling before, due to limited information, she only felt excitement.
After watching the simultaneous live broadcast, she felt embarrassed in addition to excitement. She felt embarrassed for Zheng Yanze and Chen Jiajun who were so righteous. If you can build a house by digging your toes into the ground, you should have built a three-bedroom, one-living-room house in front of her.
She really didn’t know where these two people got the courage to so righteously accuse Feng Wenfang and Zheng Yanhai of having an affair.
You don’t have any idea what you did behind their backs!
The system also found it very magical: [Are they cutting off their own retreat? When they accused Feng Wenfang and others, didn’t they think that their own affairs might be exposed? Wen Yue said
, "Looking at how righteous they are, they probably haven't thought about it."
However, of the two, the most hypocritical one must be Zheng Yanze.
Although Chen Jiajun was also pretending to be stupid, she was more of a follower of the situation and her attitude was not that extreme. Unlike Zheng Yanze, he was obviously involved with his brother's wife, but he still treated himself as a victim and attacked Feng Wenfang from all sides.
He looks like a human being at ordinary times, but when he takes off that layer of clothing behind the scenes, he is just a beastly violent maniac!
I don't know if he can still maintain the mask of the victim after his underground relationship with Chen Jiajun is exposed.
Wen Yue thought about it and muttered, "Maybe I can reveal the matter between him and Chen Jiajun in advance."
Huh? Don't you wait until next week?
Wen Yuecha looked at the melon-eating value she got this morning. It was not even seven o'clock yet, and the morning rush hour had not arrived yet, but the melon-eating value she got from this melon had exceeded 150,000. It
was not as good as the melon about the real and fake young master, but it was much better than the melon about Wen Rongsheng becoming a father.
This was not difficult to explain. The child swap was bizarre enough, not to mention that the child was a young master from a wealthy family. It was like a cat replacing a prince reflected in reality.
This kind of bizarre thing would definitely attract a lot of onlookers even if it was exposed thirty years later.
Although it was rare for the eldest sister-in-law to cheat on the younger brother-in-law, it was not so rare compared to the real and fake young master, so naturally everyone's attention was not so high.
As for the melon about Wen Rongsheng becoming a father, it is even more ordinary. In fact, Wen Yue feels that if the loser in the melon about becoming a father is not the richest man, the public's attention to it will definitely be greatly reduced.
Therefore, Wen Yue feels that this ranking
of income is very normal. According to this trend, she can get 600,000 to 800,000 melon value just from the melon of Feng Wenfang and Zheng Yanhai. When the matter of Chen Jiajun and Zheng Yanze is exposed, the melon value obtained may double to 1.2 to 1.6 million melon value. If the heat is hyped up a little more, 2 million melon value is not impossible.
According to Wen Yue's original plan, it is best to have a week between the two melons, so that she can get more melon value from the first melon.
But the timeliness of news is generally two or three days, and based on her experience of breaking news twice before, the melon-eating value she gained in the first three days can basically account for 80% to 90% of the total melon-eating value.
So even if she breaks the news a few days in advance, the loss of melon-eating value will not be too much, and the closer the time of breaking the two melons, the more conducive it is to push up the popularity.
In the end, the melon-eating value she can get may not only not decrease, but also increase.
Of course, this is the most ideal situation. The unideal situation is that the value of eating melons that she can get will be reduced, but the loss should be limited and within the range that she can bear.
In fact, the main reason why she wanted to reveal the melon in advance was that she really couldn't stand Zheng Yanze, this double-standard violent man!
She wanted to vomit when she saw that hypocritical face, and she couldn't even watch the video broadcast!
After turning off the broadcast, Wen Yue got up from the bed. She wanted to go to the bathroom to wash up, but after opening the curtains, she heard a conversation coming from downstairs, so she walked forward to the railing and looked down.
Wen Yue was stunned when she saw this, because Yi Huai was below her room.
This statement is actually not quite accurate. Strictly speaking, Yi Huai should be standing by the swimming pool below her room at this moment, and he should be wearing boxer shorts, showing off his chest muscles, abdominal muscles and long legs.
Usually Yi Huai always wears a neat suit, and his shirt buttons are always buttoned to the top, full of abstinence.
So although Wen Yue knows that he has a good figure, thinks he is very handsome and a good person, she has never had any improper thoughts about him.
But now, seeing the scattered light reflected by the water droplets flowing down from his chest muscles and across his mermaid line, and the rolling of his throat when he tilted his head back to drink water.
Wen Yue's throat couldn't help but move, and she asked in her mind: [Tong, can I sleep with him? ]
[Who? 】
【Downstairs,】 Wen Yue put her hands on the railing, looked down and said, 【The male lead.】
The system screamed instantly: 【Yi Huai! No! There is no CP in the original work!】
【There is no CP and you still arrange for the male lead to get married? Do you think it is appropriate for the original author to do so?】 Wen Yue said confidently, 【Besides, haven’t I changed enough after crossing over? Is this one thing missing?】
【It seems... that’s right.】
【Of course it is, you have to remember that you are the system I have bound to, and your mission is to lead the ordinary people to eat melons with me, not to maintain the original settings. No matter when and where, you must unconditionally support my decision, understand?】
The melon-eating system’s program does not maintain the original settings, so it was convinced by Wen Yue: 【Okay, I support you. 】
After getting a satisfactory answer, Wen Yue immediately said: 【Then give me an idea, how can I sleep with Yi Huai?】
The system was silent for a moment and asked: 【Are you sure you want to ask how to sleep with Yi Huai, not how to chase him?】
Wen Yue thought that she didn't want to fall in love with him, so why chase him? But seeing that the system looked like it had never seen the world, she couldn't help but feel guilty for corrupting the little system, so she coughed and said: 【He and I are already an old couple, and now talking about chasing someone is suspected of pretending to be innocent, don't you understand?】
The system didn't understand it very well, but it could look up information and quickly replied: 【Dear, based on your question, I searched for 108 answers, including pajamas temptation, drinking and pretending to be drunk, drugging and forcing...】
【... Stop!】
Wen Yue suddenly realized that she might still be more suitable for pretending to be innocent.
Just as she was thinking, Yi Huai's voice came from downstairs: "Good morning."
Wen Yue came to her senses and found that he had finished drinking the water and had gone around to the swimming pool facing the villa. It might be the change of direction that made him discover her who was peeping on the second floor, no, it should be that she was admiring her openly.
"Good morning." Wen Yue raised her hand in response and asked curiously, "Don't you usually go for a run? Why did you change to swimming today?"
"I'm back from running."
Seeing his nonchalant expression, Wen Yue: "..." You're amazing!
It was obvious that Yi Huai hadn't swum enough. After a few simple greetings, he dived into the swimming pool and started swimming with his arms open. He was swimming breaststroke. His posture was very standard and beautiful. His body immersed in the water made him look taller, with longer legs, broad shoulders and narrow waist.
But Wen Yue didn't watch for long, as she was hungry, so she had to wash up and go downstairs to find food.
When Wen Yue arrived at the restaurant, Yi Huai had finished swimming and returned to his room to take a shower. He didn't come down in a neat suit until she was almost done eating. He sat opposite her and started eating the food that had been prepared on the table.
After filling her stomach and putting down her chopsticks, Wen Yue didn't leave the restaurant immediately, but said, "I have something to tell you."
"What is it?"
"The newspaper company under my name broke the news about Feng Wenfang and Zheng Yanhai today."
"Feng Wenfang?" Yi Huai recalled and asked, "Who had a conflict with you that night at the Lin family banquet?"
"Yes, it was her."
"Zheng Yanhai is her husband?"
Wen Yue shook her head and said, "No, her husband is Zheng Yanze, and Zheng Yanhai is Zheng Yanze's younger brother." Yi
Huai hummed and said, "That means Feng Wenfang and Zheng Yanhai are the elder sister-in-law and younger brother-in-law. What's going on between them?"
Wen Yue immediately said, "Feng Wenfang and Zheng Yanhai were high school classmates and went to the same country for college. They dated for three years abroad and separated after graduating and returning to China. "
As a bystander, Yi Huai asked in support, "Since they dated before, how could Feng Wenfang marry Zheng Yanze?"
Wen Yue explained the twists and turns in a few words, and then concluded, "In short, although Feng Wenfang and Zheng Yanhai dated before, it would be an exaggeration to say how much affection they had and how much they loved each other. Both of them cared more about other things, and their past could not influence their respective decisions."
"That's true, and then what?"
"But I don't know if these two people really have feelings for each other, or they just like this sense of taboo. Anyway, not long after getting married, Feng Wenfang and Zheng Yanhai got together."
Hearing the word "get together", Yi Huai, who had just taken a sip of soy milk, was choked. He coughed several times before he came to his senses and asked, "I remember Zheng Yanhai is married." "
Married, his wife is Chen Jiajun, and she was there that night."
Yi Huai said, "So that night you said you wanted Feng Wenfang to apologize to you, was it because you had this handle on her?"
Wen Yue had forgotten that she had said this. She was stunned for a long time before she remembered it, and hesitated, "It's not entirely like that. I never thought about asking Feng Wenfang to apologize to me."
"So?"
"I just wanted to expose her secrets."
"I understand." Yi Huai nodded and asked, "Why are you telling me all this?"
"Next I will also expose information about Zheng Yanze and Chen Jiajun, so after these two things, I will probably severely offend the Zheng family."
Although Wen Yue had intended to drag Yi Huai and Wen Rongsheng into the water from the beginning and had never hesitated when she decided to expose the information, she was still a little embarrassed when she confessed.
After careful consideration, Wen Yue said as gently as possible: "We are husband and wife. If I offend the Zheng family, you will definitely be implicated, and it may even have a small impact on our business."
"I have no business dealings with the Zheng family. Being hostile to them will not affect my business, and..." Yi Huai looked directly into Wen Yue's eyes and said, "Even if you don't cause trouble for the Zheng family, I won't let them go."
"Why?"
"Probably because..." Yi Huai seemed to be lost in thought, and finally chose the reason Wen Yue had just said, "We are husband and wife. I can't just stand by and watch you being bullied?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Yue silently picked up the unfinished soy milk in front of her and took a sip, and called the system in her mind: [Quick! Tell me what the original positioning is, what kind of character he is, let me cool down my fevered head! 】
Although she was puzzled, the system still obeyed Wen Yue's wishes and said: [The original work is a male-dominated novel without a CP, and the character of the male protagonist Yi Huai is a ruthless money-making machine. 】
The system's words were effective immediately, and Wen Yue let out a long breath: "Huh~"
She calmed down.
