Chapter 103 Chapter 103 Eating Too Much Dog Food
Chen Songxian was full of energy and ambition, and he wanted to fly to his cousin immediately to show off.
A marriage that is fought for, robbed, and cheated will not last.
The dock was crowded with people. Workers were unloading cargo skillfully and passengers were getting off the ship carrying wicker suitcases. It was very lively for a while.
Many people nearby were holding newspapers and talking about the matter, which aroused Chen Songxian's curiosity.
Thinking back to when he heard about Huanyu's crisis in South Africa, Chen Songxian quickly walked forward and asked an old man who was reading a newspaper at the dock: "Uncle, do you know what happened to Huanyu Group? It's not bankrupt, right?"
Although his cousin was cold-blooded, ruthless, quarrelsome and not a human being at all, Chen Songxian had to admit that his cousin was very capable.
He absolutely did not believe that Huanyu would go bankrupt in the hands of his cousin.
There is no way my cousin can lose!
The old man is concerned about current affairs, especially gossip. He reads newspapers and watches TV news every day and has a lot of insights.
Hearing this, the old man was excited: "Of course Huanyu is not bankrupt, it is still thriving! Liu Zhigao's Tianxing was defeated by Huanyu!"
Chen Songxian was so excited that he almost jumped up.
That’s what he said, how could my cousin lose! My cousin is so awesome...
Ahem, forget it, he needs to stay calm.
My current status is not suitable for praising my cousin like this.
"Has the person in charge of Huanyu already divorced?" Chen Songxian smiled, unable to suppress the curve of his lips, expecting a satisfactory answer from the old man.
However, Chen Songxian did not expect that the old man's face changed and he looked at him with disgust.
"Handsome boy, you are so out of date!" The old man was shocked, looking at the young boy, wondering how he could be more out of date than an old man like himself.
Chen Songxian frowned, keenly aware that the matter was not simple: "Impossible, I heard twenty days ago that the person in charge of Huanyu had a marriage change and was getting a divorce!"
"Twenty days ago?" The old man was even more disgusted. It was rare for him to see someone so behind the times. "Handsome boy, read more newspapers and watch more TV."
Otherwise, even drinking water won’t be as hot as it used to be.
Chen Songxian: "..."
How can you get the latest news while you are floating on the sea?
The uncle saw that the handsome boy seemed to want Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng to divorce, and firmly supported the Huanyu boss who made him earn money by holding shares. "Why, you also want to pursue Mrs. Cheng? Handsome boy, I think you are quite handsome, but you are still far behind Mr. Cheng. You want to pursue someone's wife? Don't dream~"
Chen Songxian: "..."
This old man is in his fifties or sixties, why is he still making personal attacks?
"They are both divorced, why can't I pursue..."
"Who said they're divorced?" The old man spread out the newspaper in his hand and pointed at the huge font on it to refute, "Boss Rencheng and his wife have a good relationship. Handsome boy, don't listen to the rumors outside. If Boss Huanyu gets divorced, I'll be the first to disagree!"
How can we get divorced for the sake of Huanyu's stability?
Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng must live happily together forever!
Chen Songxian stared at the newspaper with the statement printed on it. The words were so big, almost bigger than his fist.
What about the relationship breakdown, marriage change, and divorce? !
Chen Songxian couldn't believe his eyes!
During these twenty days on the boat, I was so excited that I even prepared seven or eight short love essays and rehearsed my confession plan more than ten times.
What does it matter? ! ! !
The old man saw that the handsome boy in front of him seemed to be possessed. Sometimes the corners of his mouth rose with joy, and sometimes his face fell with sadness. He muttered to himself that he was going to look for someone, and then ran away.
Uncle sighed softly: "What a fool..."
++++
Huanyu has gone through severe turmoil with Cheng Wanting at the helm, but his employees have always believed in their boss's ability.
Now that we have survived the crisis, General Manager Cheng has announced that all employees will receive bonuses, which is even more encouraging.
The Cheng family also breathed a sigh of relief.
Over the past month, although Cheng Wanting did not let his family members participate in anything, who would not be anxious?
After retiring for many years, Cheng Guanjie has come out of retirement and is running around among his old friends, seeking help for Huanyu.
Fu Yuehong and Zhong Qianlian also kept their mouth shut when being surrounded by many wealthy wives and reporters.
Cheng Zhihao and Zhou Keer, a married couple, abide by the principle of not causing trouble for their eldest brother and behave themselves. However, Cheng Zhihao would talk anonymously with gossip reporters whenever he had nothing to do, and secretly discredit Liu Zhigao, British businessman William and others.
Looking at the gossip news that contained a mixture of true and false negatives about several people, Cheng Zhihao puffed out his chest with pride.
Even though I can't be of much help in business, I can still be useful in other areas!
only...
The statements published in major newspapers today left everyone dumbfounded.
Cheng Min held the newspaper and read aloud softly. When she read that the couple had never had a marriage change or a divorce, she couldn't help but be amazed.
No wonder my eldest brother asked me to find a sister-in-law after his "divorce". It turns out that it's not that my eldest brother is thick-skinned, but that he never divorced at all.
"Brother will issue a statement now?" Cheng Min couldn't help but be shocked. This was totally unlike his brother's style.
Cheng Zhihao lay lazily on the sofa, finally feeling comfortable and relieved.
Hearing this, the girl said, "Amin, you don't understand this. Look at how many men in Hong Kong think that sister-in-law is divorced and single and want to pursue her. Can big brother not issue a statement? What stinky men are you? You are a toad wanting to eat swan meat!"
Cheng Min thought of the rose garden she saw when she went back to the villa halfway up the mountain last time, and nodded: "Then we should indeed issue a statement."
Cheng Guanjie went downstairs with a pleased look on his face. His son and daughter-in-law were quite capable. Although they were used to doing things on their own, they made him feel at ease.
After hearing the conversation between his second son and youngest daughter, Cheng Guanjie said, "Amin, call your sister-in-law and ask them to come back for dinner when they are free."
Anyway, Chen Songxian went to Africa and is not in Hong Kong.
There is no need to be too ashamed.
Amin happily agreed and immediately called the new villa in the Mid-Levels where his sister-in-law moved into after she separated from her eldest brother.
Lin Keying picked up the phone at that time. After hearing the purpose of the call, she naturally had no reason to refuse: "Okay, let's come back for dinner tonight..."
Cheng Min was about to answer, but she heard her sister-in-law's receiver seemed to be snatched away by someone on the other end of the phone, and a few seconds later, her eldest brother's low voice came.
"Amin, we are very busy recently and don't have time to come back for the time being. Please tell dad not to disturb us unless necessary."
Cheng Min: (⊙o⊙)
"What did your eldest brother say?" Cheng Guanjie saw that his daughter had a strange expression.
Cheng Min, who can't lie: "Dad, my brother said he's busy lately and asked you not to disturb him..."
Cheng Guanjie: (▽ヘ▽#)
++++
Lin Keying had the microphone taken away by the man, and she was shocked when she heard Cheng Wanting's ruthless rejection of his sister.
Reaching out and pinching the man's waist, Lin Keying angrily said, "What are you so busy about? Are you so busy that you don't even have time to go home for a meal?"
Cheng Wanting grabbed his wife's hand and said confidently, "You want to move, where will you find the time?"
Lin Keying: "..."
When did you say you were moving today?
But before Lin Keying could speak, at a glance from Cheng Wanting, Uncle Zhong and Sister Hua had already started packing their luggage with Mei and the others.
The servants were so nimble and quick that they almost cleared out the villa in a short while.
Ah Mei packed her luggage and took the opportunity to appreciate today's newspaper again. Her eyes curved into crescents, and then she folded it neatly and put it away.
It turns out that the eldest master and his wife were not divorced.
hey-hey!
After Uncle Zhong and Mrs. Hua finished counting all the items, they went to the living room to report to the eldest young master: "Young master, everything has been packed up."
"Yes." Cheng Wanting nodded with satisfaction, "Let the bodyguards move quickly and move everything to the car."
Lin Keying stared in amazement as the "special forces" bodyguards trained by Cheng Wanting acted swiftly and efficiently, and in a flash, they transported away all the dozen or so bags of luggage, large and small.
Are the bodyguards you trained, who can shoot, fight, fly and dive into the ground, used for this?
"I didn't tell you we were moving so soon?" Lin Keying didn't even have time to say goodbye to her new home! How come it was "looted"?
Now the house is bare and there is no trace of the lively life it once was.
Cheng Wanting leaned closer to the woman and said, "You've been away for so long, why don't you go home?"
The man's eyes were burning, the first button of his collar was undone, revealing his hard and protruding Adam's apple. The woman, half lying on the sofa, grabbed the man's gray tie and led him towards her.
Lightly biting the man's Adam's apple, Lin Keying's beautiful almond eyes flickered: "I haven't settled the score with you about that statement yet, isn't it too big!"
Lin Keying suspected that she was doomed.
How could a statement take up so much space?
The wet touch on Cheng Wanting's Adam's apple was fleeting, and the numbness instantly spread to his tailbone. He leaned over and picked up the woman horizontally: "Don't make a big statement, those blind and daring men won't see it."
As he carried his wife out of the villa and into the car, Cheng Wanting told Yang Minghui: "Pull out all the roses in the yard."
Lin Keying was gently put into the back seat of the Rolls-Royce by the man. She was excited when she heard the words: "Cheng Wanting, don't be so wasteful."
Cheng Wanting's face was stiff, but he heard the woman speak again.
"Yang Minghui, don't throw them away after you pick them. Dry the petals and give them to A-Mei." They can be used for bathing.
Cheng Wanting nodded with a relieved look on his face: "Do as Madam orders."
Yang Minghui responded promptly.
The couple separated after their divorce, and all the things Lin Keying took away were taken back by Cheng Wanting in a swift and decisive manner.
After moving back to the villa where she had lived the longest, Lin Keying had just settled down when she heard Cheng Wanting instruct the servants to put everything back to its original place.
I moved all my clothes, jewelry, cosmetics and skin care products back to the master bedroom.
Lin Keying went upstairs and came to the second bedroom where Cheng Wanting had lived before. The cold and deserted room had long been deserted. She could only mutter to herself, "I can't wait to move back to the master bedroom."
Cheng Wanting took Yang Minghui to the study to arrange work. Huanyu was back on track, with a lot of things to do.
Even so, he still watched his wife move back home with his own eyes.
When Lin Keying stepped into the bedroom she had left for a month, she looked at the familiar layout and it seemed that nothing had changed.
Even the two pillows on the bed were pressed tightly together.
"Madam, Master Chen is here." Mrs. Hua suddenly appeared to report that she had seen Lin Keying in the bedroom. "Master Chen said he wanted to see you."
Lin Keying thought that Chen Songxian, who was supposed to stay in Africa, actually came back.
What is this resentful cousin trying to do?
"I got it. Please ask him to go to the garden and make a pot of tea." Lin Keying glanced at the closed door of the study and did not disturb her husband. She received the guests herself.
Chen Songxian hurried to the villa halfway up the mountain. The excitement he had felt on the boat for the past twenty days had completely disappeared.
At this moment, only a weak dying struggle remains.
The child bride who was arranged for me when I was a child, now my cousin's wife, appeared before me.
Not much different than a few months ago.
Lam Keying wore a red polka-dot long skirt with a ruffled hem at the neckline, which made her already fair skin look even whiter.
A head of wavy hair was casually draped behind her, fluttering in the wind as the woman walked into the garden and sat down on a white hollow carved chair.
"Cousin, why did you come back so suddenly?" Lin Keying pointed to the tea on the small round lacquer-engraved table and asked Chen Songxian, "Does your cousin know?"
The word "cousin" almost made Chen Songxian fall.
He didn’t even call him Mr. Chen or Kevin Chen, but his cousin? !
"Keying, aren't you getting divorced because of a marriage change?" Chen Songxian was indignant, still indignant at his cousin's behavior of impersonating him to deceive the child bride into marrying him. "Isn't it that you finally couldn't stand your cousin pretending to be me and marrying you, and you thought it through and want a divorce?"
The port city was already hot at the end of May. The rising sun hung high in the blue sky, sprinkling bits of gold and casting a faint golden glow on the woman in the garden.
Lin Keying's eyes were filled with sunshine, and she couldn't help but laugh: "Cousin, it is reasonable for you to call me sister-in-law. Keying, Keying, don't you understand the seniority and rules?"
At the garden entrance, the man who had just finished his work and was rushing in stopped abruptly when he heard this.
Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window was a lush lawn. His wife was talking to her cousin who had returned from Africa without permission, and asked her to call her sister-in-law.
Inside the floor-to-ceiling window, the man’s tall figure was imprinted on the transparent glass, as still as a mountain.
Only the intermittent sound of talking floated into my ears.
Chen Songxian couldn't believe it: "Don't you mind that your cousin pretended to be me and deceived you?"
"He cheated on me, so of course I'm angry. I've already punished him." Lin Keying paused when she mentioned the word "punishment", then continued, "But this is a matter between us. As for impersonating you, it's not important. He loves me too much. What can I do?"
Chen Songxian felt as if someone had stabbed him in the heart. His lips moved, but he couldn't utter a word.
After a long while, Chen Songxian finally found his voice: "We were engaged as child brides when we were young. If I hadn't asked my cousin for help when you came to Hong Kong City, and we had met first... or if we had grown up together, he wouldn't have had anything to do with us."
"Cousin." Lin Keying understood what Chen Songxian meant and answered firmly, "Even if we met first, I wouldn't like you. You're not my type. Besides, you actually dislike child brides. Do you really love them so much now? Is your reluctance more important than anything else?"
"Then what kind of man do you like?" Chen Songxian spoke very quickly.
"Isn't it obvious?" Lin Keying counted carefully, eyes full of love, "I like men who are 1.88 meters tall, tall and handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, always in a suit and leather shoes and obsessed with work, but can provide everyone with a full sense of security, and are ruthless and don't talk much."
Outside the French window, Chen Songxian's heart was broken into pieces...
Inside the French window, Cheng Wanting raised his thin lips slightly...
Yang Minghui received the latest intelligence that Master Chen Songxian actually used the excuse of going to other African countries to investigate the market, but actually secretly took a boat back to the port city.
"Master, Young Master Chen has sneaked back!" Yang Minghui hurried over and reported anxiously, but when he looked up he saw Chen Songxian not far away.
Chen Songxian sat in the living room of the Cheng family in a daze, with a cup of bitter tea specially prepared by his cousin for him in front of him.
"Master, do you already know?" Yang Minghui asked in a low voice, "Are you going to send Master Chen back to Africa immediately?"
Yang Minghui is already familiar with this business.
"No need to send him back to Africa." Cheng Wanting's eyes relaxed. "Africa is tough, and my cousin suffered too much. Besides, my cousin is not completely useless."
Yang Minghui was confused for a moment, wondering what use Chen Shao was.
No, why is the young master so kind!
Yang Minghui even heard that the eldest young master insisted on inviting Young Master Chen to dinner.
Outrageous, too outrageous!
"Cousin, you just came back from Africa. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Your sister-in-law and I will treat you to a meal." Cheng Wanting curled his lips, looking particularly generous.
"I won't eat anymore. You guys take your time eating." Chen Songxian had completely given up and couldn't stand the flirting between his cousin and his wife anymore.
At this moment, he just wants to go home!
Chen Songxian: o(╥﹏╥)o
"My cousin came back to the port after getting off the ship. The first thing he did was to visit my cousin and his wife. I wonder if he missed us too much?" Cheng Wanting stopped him and said, "Let's have a meal before we go."
Yang Minghui just watched as the eldest young master forced Chen Shao to stay and insisted that the three of them have dinner together.
Oh, Yang Minghui was also invited to join.
In the past, Young Master Chen always insisted on coming, but the eldest young master would chase him away.
Today the situation has really changed. Young Master Chen wants to escape, but the eldest master refuses to let him go.
Fresh Australian lobsters were served, accompanied by nourishing soup cooked by Mrs. Hua and six delicious stir-fried dishes.
Yang Minghui ate with satisfaction. He looked at Young Master Chen who was eating with a frustrated look on his face, and then at the eldest young master who kept picking up food for his wife and peeling lobsters.
This meal is so delicious!
Lin Keying suspected that the man next to her did it on purpose. Isn't this man too cruel?
After dinner, when Chen Songxian fled, Lin Keying saw a bit of loneliness in his back.
Hey, why pick on your cousin when there are so many people to pick on.
++++
On the second day after moving back to the old villa in Mid-Levels, Lin Keying and Cheng Wanting went back to the Cheng family's old house.
After the storm, the Cheng family gathered together for a meal and experienced the peace and tranquility after the storm.
Cheng Zhihao flattered his elder brother to take credit for it, and confidently mentioned that he had found a gossip magazine to expose the negative information about Liu Zhigao, William and others, but he got a cold look from his elder brother.
Cheng Zhihao: "...Brother really doesn't understand the power of gossip."
Lin Keying is also a gossip lover, and it is rare for her to be on the same side as him: "Indeed."
Cheng Zhihao: "Sister-in-law, great minds think alike!"
Cheng Guanjie couldn't help but frown when he heard his second son's playful smile, and just asked his eldest son to go to the study.
"It was not easy for Huanyu to survive this crisis." Cheng Guanjie has worked hard for many years, but he has never encountered such a dangerous situation. He has to say that his eldest son's move of cutting off the source of the trouble is indeed a desperate move. "You are a bit radical, but it has some effect. However, you still have to be cautious and don't be too arrogant."
Cheng Guanjie's eyes showed admiration, but he couldn't express more direct praise.
Cheng Wanting stood in the study and said bluntly: "You are indeed old and conservative. The future of Hong Kong City will naturally be dominated by young people."
"You..." Cheng Guanjie was furious at his eldest son's words, but he also knew that what he said was true, "If you have the ability, then you should protect the Cheng family business."
"The Cheng family has reached its peak in Hong Kong City. It is not easy to maintain it, and it is even more difficult to expand. It is better to set our sights on the other side of the strait."
"Are you talking about the mainland?" Cheng Guanjie had heard that his son had some investments in the mainland, but the scale was not too large. From what he said this time, it seemed that he was going to make a big investment on a large scale.
Cheng Guanjie originally wanted to comment on his son's business strategy. He moved his lips, but when he thought of what his son had just said, "The future will belong to the young people," he couldn't say anything.
"You can watch it yourself."
In terms of business, Cheng Guanjie is completely relieved. As for other aspects...
Thinking about meeting the Chen family today and hearing that Chen Songxian had quietly returned, Cheng Guanjie felt guilty towards his nephew: "Songxian has been in Africa for more than two months and has indeed suffered a lot."
"Yeah." Cheng Wanting knew that life in Africa couldn't compare to the bright lights and nightlife in Hong Kong. "Let him stay at home."
The cousin who posed no threat was no longer in Cheng Wanting's eyes, so there was no need to be on guard against him and it didn't matter if he stayed in Hong Kong.
Even yesterday it was of some use.
"You are so soft-hearted." Cheng Guanjie sighed, "Okay, let Songxian rest at home for a while. At least send him back to Africa after ten days or half a month. Don't push him too hard, at least give him a chance to breathe."
Cheng Wanting: "..."
That's not what I meant.
++++
The Cheng family's father and son were discussing something in the study, and Lin Keying met the Chen family in the living room.
Chen Songxian rested at home in disappointment and no longer went out to have fun. He seemed to have matured. The Chen family members also gradually put aside the matter of the child bride and came to visit the Cheng family.
This time when Huanyu encountered a crisis, although his family was not as powerful as the Cheng family, they still tried their best to help, running around, and helping as much as the Chen family could.
Now that the Cheng family has successfully overcome the difficulties, the Chen family is also happy.
Supported by his son and daughter-in-law, the old man of the Chen family talked to everyone in the living room, especially reminiscing about the past on the mainland with Lin Keying. When he went upstairs again, the door of the study opened and the father and son of the Cheng family came towards him.
The two families exchanged pleasantries, and Cheng Guanjie praised Chen Songxian for his fruitful experience in Africa: "He has finally grown up, become more sensible, and has achieved results in business."
Old Master Chen grabbed Cheng Guanjie's hand and explained, "It is also thanks to you and Wan Ting that you sent Songxian to experience. His past life was too enjoyable. He really needs to suffer a little before he knows what is good."
Yang Minghui felt guilty when he heard this, but he saw that the Cheng family father and son beside him were more confident than the other and did not feel guilty at all, which really impressed him.
"Xiaoying has a deep connection with our family, and has such a fate with you as well. We will be a family from now on." Grandpa Chen's words finally settled everything.
Cheng Guanjie shook the old man's hand back with a guilty conscience and quickly glared at his eldest son: "Yes, we are all family."
They understood each other, so they didn't say it explicitly.
Old Master Chen looked at the graceful girl in the living room on the first floor and couldn't help but sigh, "When Xiaoying was little, she didn't like to talk. She was quite dull and timid. She would lower her head when she met anyone. Later, I heard from our former maid that she was also quite quiet during the years she lived in the mainland. I didn't expect that she would grow up so well after coming to Hong Kong."
Cheng Guanjie nodded. His daughter-in-law was indeed unexpected. She saved a bankrupt building, ran an entertainment company, and even won over many wealthy businessmen's wives with just a silk scarf without any social interaction. "Keying is quite capable and learns everything quickly. I think she is almost surpassing Wan Ting."
Cheng Wanting listened to the two elders praising his wife with a slight smirk on his lips, but when he heard Old Man Chen mention Lin Keying's temperament in the mainland, he was suddenly stunned.
Lin Keying, who was inferior, sensitive and fragile in mainland China, came to Hong Kong to find her relatives. She was confident, bright and graceful, and showed amazing talent in stocks, business and learning ability.
Cheng Wanting's eyes flashed and he fell into deep thought.
