Chapter 7 He cheated on me!
At 9:00 AM on July 29, 2025, Yun Jin appeared at Pingcheng Airport.
Hua Cheng arrived earlier than her, wearing sunglasses and leaning against the railing at the airport exit, looking handsome and lazy.
"Did you sleep well last night?" he asked.
Yun Jin walked to his side and placed her hands on the railing: "It's not good."
"Did your extramarital affair upset you?" Hua Cheng pulled his sunglasses down a little, revealing a smiling face.
Yun Jin glanced at him: "No, not at all."
Hua Cheng chuckled, turned around, and put his hand on her shoulder. Yun Jin didn't stand on ceremony and leaned against him, doing whatever was easiest for her.
It was the weekend, and the airport was crowded, but when Liu Zhuang appeared, Yun Jin and Hua Cheng spotted him immediately.
...After all, a fat person who is 180cm tall and weighs 180kg will stand out no matter where they are.
What's more, this fat guy also had a head of curly hair and was wearing streetwear that teenagers love.
"He's almost forty, dressed like that, who would guess he's a major shareholder of Yuncheng Technology if no one told him?" Hua Cheng clicked his tongue. "Wife, if you feel embarrassed, you can go back to the car first..."
Before he could finish speaking, his wife rushed out and gave the fat man a big hug.
Liu Zhuang was utterly flattered: "What's going on?"
Hua Cheng also wondered, what's going on? Is she really his wife being this enthusiastic?
Fortunately, Yun Jin quickly recovered and calmly said after releasing Liu Zhuang, "I haven't seen you for two months, and I've missed you a little."
"I miss you too, little sister!" Liu Zhuang was deeply moved. He put his arm around Yun Jin with one hand and reached out to hold Hua Cheng with the other, but Hua Cheng pushed him away in disgust.
Liu Zhuang didn't care and complained as he walked out, "These two months of vacation with your sister-in-law have been like living hell for me."
"Why?" Hua Cheng asked.
Liu Zhuang: "Do you even need to ask? The food is awful! Can't you see I've lost weight?"
"You've lost weight?"
"Where have you lost weight?"
The couple spoke at the same time, but Liu Zhuang pretended not to hear: "Your sister-in-law is having such a good time that she's booked a flight for me for tomorrow afternoon. I have to go back as soon as the shareholders' meeting is over, and I'll come back when my daughter starts school on September 1st."
"Just staying for one day?" Hua Cheng chuckled.
Liu Zhuang wiped away a tear of bitterness: "Of course, we still have to eat foreign food for another month."
The three chatted as they walked out. Although it was only a little past nine in the morning, Director Liu, who was craving hot pot, insisted on going out for hot pot.
Hua Cheng and Yun Jin naturally obeyed her every word, but just as they reached the parking lot, Yun Jin's phone rang.
It was a call from Xiao Zhou, the assistant.
Yun Jin answered the phone: "What's wrong?"
"Mr. Yun, we've obtained the contact information for the lab director."
Yun Jin glanced at Hua Cheng and whispered, "Send it to me, I'll talk to him myself."
"OK."
Xiao Zhou hung up the phone and sent a string of mobile phone numbers.
After receiving the phone number, Yun Jin became restless and lost all interest in having dinner with Liu Zhuang.
"Let's go," Liu Zhuang urged.
Hua Cheng took two steps toward her: "Is something the matter?"
"Mm." Yun Jin nodded, without saying what it was about.
Hua Cheng didn't ask any questions: "You go ahead, I'll take Fatty to eat hot pot."
Yun Jin agreed, said goodbye to Liu Zhuang, and left first.
Liu Zhuang watched her drive away before asking Hua Cheng, "Didn't either of you come in a car?"
"Yes, I was worried you wouldn't have enough room," Hua Cheng said calmly.
Liu Zhuang gave him the middle finger, opened the car door, and plopped down in the passenger seat.
After they both got into the car, Liu Zhuang started navigating to nearby hot pot restaurants. Hua Cheng stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly pressed the button on his phone.
"what……"
"Let's skip the hot pot and have roast duck instead."
Liu Zhuang's heart skipped a beat.
Hua Cheng continued to tempt: "Grizzly roast duck, dipped in white sugar and then coated with sauce..."
"Let's go eat roast duck," Liu Zhuang decisively changed his mind.
Hua Cheng chuckled and sped off.
The roast duck restaurant he chose was quite far from the airport, and the two of them chatted about tomorrow's shareholders' meeting as they hurried to the restaurant.
“Fatty,” Hua Cheng said slowly as they stopped at a traffic light, “if it goes through tomorrow, you’ll have fewer shares. Is that my fault?”
Liu Zhuang didn't take it seriously: "Although the shares are fewer, the dividends are more! I'm so grateful to you, how could I blame you?"
Hua Cheng smiled and said, "That's fine then."
The light is green, keep going.
Liu Zhuang suddenly spoke up: "Chengzi."
"Um?"
“Although the three of us combined get 47% of the votes, it’s still a long way from the 60% passing rate. Given Yuncheng’s current development, I estimate that many people won’t vote in favor, not to mention the huge obstacle of Lao Feng.” Liu Zhuang comforted him, “If we fail, don’t be sad. We can always try again next time.”
"It won't fail," Hua Cheng said calmly.
Liu Zhuang couldn't help but glance at him.
The two started talking about other things, and the slight awkwardness in the atmosphere was quickly washed away.
When they arrived at the roast duck restaurant, it was already 11 o'clock. Hua Cheng had made a reservation for a private room in advance, and as soon as the two entered the hall, a waiter came forward to lead them.
"This place is nice, is it newly opened?" Liu Zhuang looked around.
Hua Cheng: "We just opened last month."
"I knew it! If it were an old establishment, I would have been here before." Liu Zhuang was saying when he suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure. "Hey, look at that person, isn't that Feng Wan?"
Hua Cheng glanced in the direction he was pointing and said, "No, you're mistaken."
“Old Feng’s daughter, how could I be wrong?” Liu Zhuang immediately went to greet her.
Hua Cheng immediately pushed him toward the private room: "Don't go, you're the kind of person who can't stop talking once you start."
Liu Zhuang was still looking back: "I just wanted to check on her. I heard she's been pregnant for several months? Do you know who the father is? When are they getting married? Why is Old Feng so reserved this time? He hasn't said a single word..."
“You talk too much,” Hua Cheng pushed him into the private room. “I’m going to get something. Wait for me.”
After saying that, he closed the door from the outside.
"What are you carrying in such a hurry...?"
Driven by curiosity, Liu Zhuang remembered Hua Cheng's strange expression and immediately opened the door and went outside.
It was lunchtime, and the restaurant was getting more and more lively. Liu Zhuang walked around and looked around, and finally spotted Hua Cheng in a corner of the hall.
He chuckled and was about to walk over there when he saw Hua Cheng helping a pregnant woman sit down.
Liu Zhuang knew that pregnant woman.
Not only do we know each other, we're very familiar with each other, and I even talked about her with Hua Cheng just a minute ago.
The moment Liu Zhuang saw the two of them, his first reaction was to find reasons to convince himself—
Feng Wan is pregnant and has difficulty moving around.
Feng Wan is Feng He's daughter.
Feng Wan has been Hua Cheng's assistant for two years.
They watched Feng Wan grow up...
Then they concluded that 'it's normal for Hua Cheng to help her.'
Is that really normal?
How could someone who hates physical contact so much, someone who wouldn't let anyone touch him except Yun Jin, be so calm and collected when he started helping another woman?
Liu Zhuang was 37 years old and no longer as impulsive as he was when he was young, so after seeing this scene, he did not immediately step forward, but turned around and went back to the private room.
Ten minutes later, Hua Cheng also returned.
"The roast duck is almost ready. Would you like to order anything else?" Hua Cheng asked Liu Zhuang across a round table as he closed the door.
Liu Zhuang: "Whose child is Feng Wan carrying?"
Hua Cheng looked up at him: "Hmm?"
"Her child..." Liu Zhuang's breath hitched, trying his best to remain calm, "Whose child is it?"
Hua Cheng met his gaze silently, without saying a word.
Unable to bear it any longer, Liu Zhuang grabbed an empty bowl from the table and threw it at him.
The heavy, custom-made bowl from Jingdezhen grazed Hua Cheng's forehead and slammed against the wall with a loud thud, instantly turning Hua Cheng's forehead red.
"How dare you... how dare you..." Liu Zhuang's fingers trembled with anger. "No wonder you're so confident about the shareholders' meeting. So it's because you're family with Feng Hecheng now. Does Yun Jin know? You brought two cars to the airport today, is it because of this?"
"We're using two cars because we didn't start from the same place," Hua Cheng finally said.
Liu Zhuang wasn't fooled: "So Yun Jin knows about this? Do you still want her to vote for you... Well, you, Feng He, and Yun Jin together get over 60% of the votes. You're really good at scheming, Hua Cheng. What's next after you get the shares? Are you going to kick her out of Yun Cheng?!"
Hua Cheng rubbed his reddened forehead and sighed, "Fatty, calm down first."
"How can you expect me to stay calm!" Liu Zhuang's eyes were red. "Hua Cheng, how did you become like this? When did you become like this? Are you still the Hua Cheng I know? Yun Jin is your wife. She's a top student from Pingda University. After graduation, she gave up a job with a six-figure annual salary to start from scratch with you. How could you treat her like this?!"
He questioned him word by word, but Hua Cheng remained silent. He simply walked around the table to him, bent down, and poured him a cup of tea.
Looking at his cup of tea, Liu Zhuang suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
In the silence, Hua Cheng slowly spoke: "As long as you don't tell Yun Jin, I can give you 5% of the shares afterward."
Liu Zhuang looked at him in disbelief: "...You want to bribe me?"
“Brother Pang, you should know very well how valuable 5% of Yuncheng Technology’s shares are, right?” Hua Cheng said earnestly, looking into his eyes.
Liu Zhuang's lips moved, and his expression gradually became stunned.
Hua Cheng patted him on the shoulder, left him the car keys, and left first.
Liu Zhuang sat alone in the private room, the roast duck that was brought in went from hot to cold, but he didn't touch it at all.
At 10 p.m., Yun Jin changed into her pajamas, put on a face mask, and prepared to go back to her room to look at some documents.
Then the doorbell rang.
She paused for a moment, then slowly went to open the door.
"Hua Cheng cheated on me!" Liu Zhuang said aggressively.
Yun Jin: "..."
"He cheated on me. You know Feng Wan is pregnant, right? The child in her belly is Hua Cheng's. Hua Cheng and Feng He have been in cahoots for a long time! If I hadn't caught him with Feng Wan today, I probably would still be in the dark."
"These bastards! Bastards, bastards, bastards!!! Not only did they collude themselves, but they also tried to trick you into voting in favor, and then used your vote to reduce your influence in the board of directors. This is simply outrageous!"
“Do you know what Hua Cheng also said to me? He said that as long as I keep it from you, he will give me 5% of the shares… He wants to bribe me with shares! It’s ridiculous. I think he’s been blinded by greed and has almost forgotten who he is!”
Liu Zhuang paced around anxiously a few times before returning to comfort Yun Jin: "Don't worry, Yun Jin, as long as I'm alive, I won't let him bully you like this. His and Feng He's combined shares are only 47%, the same as when the three of us formed an alliance. As long as we vote against it, they won't succeed so easily!"
After Liu Zhuang finished saying what he had been holding back all day, he finally felt a little relieved.
Looking at Yun Jin again, her face was expressionless and overly calm.
"You..." Liu Zhuang hesitated, "Don't you have anything to say?"
Yun Jin: "My face mask is almost worn out."
Liu Zhuang: "?"
Yun Jin: "Wearing it for too long will damage the skin barrier and cause it to absorb nutrients in the opposite way, making the skin drier."
Liu Zhuang: "..."
"puff."
The air was so quiet that even the slightest laugh would suddenly become noticeable.
Yun Jin and Liu Zhuang looked in the direction of the sound at the same time. Hua Cheng was wearing the same pajamas as Yun Jin, standing against the wall with a smile on his face.
"Hey, Fatty," he greeted.
Liu Zhuang couldn't help but get angry when he saw him: "You bastard, don't talk to me!"
Yun Jin remained calm, walked up to Hua Cheng, stared at his reddened forehead for a few seconds, and then punched his abs.
Hua Cheng groaned and bent over, no longer showing off.
