Bai Chen was completely disappointed in Zhou Xuan.
One morning, she took a considerable amount of money from the Zhou family and left.
Without telling anyone, she quietly left Zhou Xuan's world.
Zhou Xuan also sent people to search everywhere, but to no avail.
Nobody knows where Bai Chen went.
They had sent people to Shanghai to look for him, but Bai Chen's parents had left long ago and gone abroad. How could they find him?
Bai Chen stayed behind alone so she could marry him.
Now they don't know where to look for her.
The Ning family's power gradually took over the entire city of Shanghai, and then they recovered the north and south. In less than five years, they unified the country. In the following ten years, Ning Hong took back the concessions and drove out all the foreign invaders.
In the following years, Ning Hong served as the first president. He worked hard to develop the economy and gradually brought the country to the forefront of the world.
Surprisingly, Ning Hong has always been alone all these years.
No woman ever lingered around him; the only ones he was close to were his mother and Gu Qingxiu.
When Fang Shan took sides, he unhesitatingly sided with Ning Hongze, which allowed him to protect the Fang family.
In the subsequent reckoning, the Fang family emerged unscathed.
He even converted the casino into a restaurant, and married Zhang Wenwen.
Zhang Wenwen, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, left the Ning family and married into the Fang family.
Mr. Fang originally had objections. After all, although he had widows and such around him, they were just for fun. How could he let a widow become his lawfully wedded wife?
However, Zhang Wenwen was standing behind Zhang Ke'er, who was Ning Hongze's right-hand woman.
He dared not offend them—
Especially after Ning Hong became president, Zhang Ke'er's status also rose accordingly.
He couldn't possibly have any objections.
To be honest, the Fang family still exists today, and they still rely on the Ning family for support.
Ning Zhen's nature is suited to romance and poetry. Even after so many years, despite his efforts to manage the Ning family's business, he still can't change this nature.
If Ning Hongze hadn't been so famous, and if Gu Qingxiu hadn't been so capable, the Ning family would have been swallowed up long ago, and they wouldn't be able to thrive like this.
Ning Hongze never married in his life, and the position of second president never fell to the Ning family, since Ning Hongze only served as president for a few years before resigning.
The second president was elected by others, people who had been mentored by Ning Hongze and greatly admired him.
After stepping down, Ning Hong devoted herself to taking care of her child.
The child of Ning Zhen and Gu Qingxiu.
He single-handedly groomed him to become the country's third president.
The Ning family has produced two presidents, so their status in the hearts of the people is naturally different. Moreover, the Ning family's businesses are all conducted in accordance with the rules, and whenever there is a disaster, the Ning family's team is always at the forefront.
They contributed money, manpower, and supplies, especially Ning Hongze, who practically went wherever there was danger.
Ning Hong was not afraid of danger; he just wanted to build up more merits for the Ning family so that these merits could protect the Ning family after he was gone.
Of course, he also believed that Ning Zhen and her husband wouldn't do anything too outrageous.
As for his descendants, he couldn't care less.
Ning Hong unified the warlord forces in the north and south, but he did not kill Zhou Xuan.
In his view, death would be the end of everything; he would rather Zhou Xuan live so that he could see the Ning family's glory.
Of course, Zhou Xuan was definitely not having a good time.
When he was the commander-in-chief, he offended many people. Now that he's no longer the commander-in-chief, there are even more people seeking revenge.
When Zhou Xuan first moved out of the Marshal's Mansion, he was given a severe beating.
One of his legs was broken.
Later, he took his parents to Shanghai, hoping to find Bai Chen, but by chance, he saw Zhang Wenwen.
At this time, Zhang Wenwen had already married Fang Shan.
She wore a beautiful, well-fitting cheongsam, and on her exposed wrist was a jade bracelet of emerald green. Her hair was styled up, adorned with two hair clips inlaid with pink pearls, making her look both pretty and elegant.
Zhou Xuan stared at Zhang Wenwen almost in a daze. He never knew his wife could be so beautiful.
"Mrs. Fang is getting more and more beautiful."
"Yes, I heard she's very talented."
"She and the First Lady are friends."
"How enviable."
The pedestrians' conversation reached Zhou Xuan's ears word by word, leaving him with extremely complicated feelings.
"Mrs. Fang?"
Zhang Wenwen remarried?
She didn't wait for him; instead, she married someone else.
The confidence radiating from her brows suggests that her married life must be quite good.
Did Zhang Wenwen have this kind of confidence back then?
Zhou Xuan suddenly wanted to say a few words to her, but she was always surrounded by a lot of people, making it impossible for him to even take a step closer.
After Zhou Xuan and the two elderly people searched for a while in Shanghai and spent all their money, Zhou's father fell ill.
His illness further strained Zhou's mother and Zhou Xuan's health.
The two pawned everything they could to treat Zhou's father, but ultimately failed to save his life. After his father's passing, Zhou Xuan suffered a shock and remained in a daze all day.
He was once so successful, but now he's fallen on hard times. The contrast is so great that he spends his days in a drunken stupor, unwilling to come to his senses.
