Chapter 56 Chapter 56 Beautiful Swimsuit
Lin Keying's heart was in knots. Obviously, the man didn't like to talk about his childhood, which made her let down her guard.
Asking about my sister specifically at this moment, could it be a test?
Lin Keying analyzed the situation nervously in her mind, and had already figured out that the worst that could happen would be that her identity was exposed and the man divorced her. Then she could give him half of his property and live a carefree future.
But now, I still have to struggle.
"I remember you have a sister." Lin Keying showed a slightly stiff smile on her face and tried to make up a story, "I think we played together when we were young? But it's been so many years, I can't remember what she looked like, and I don't quite remember her name."
You can’t just make up a name like Xiaohong or Xiaoming.
"You really don't remember my name?" Cheng Wanting relaxed his tense body.
"Yeah." Lin Keying didn't want to talk about dangerous topics. The things that happened in her original body's childhood were taboos. At the critical moment, she could only use sweet words as a killer. "I have almost forgotten everything that happened in those years. I only remember my brother Songxian, how good you were to me, and that I wanted to marry you. Nothing else matters."
After saying that, Lin Keying raised her eyelids to look at the man's expression. Seeing that he remained silent, she did not ask any more questions. She thought that he should have passed the test.
Sure enough, although the man said not to call him Brother Songxian, he actually felt very happy in his heart, otherwise why would he stop questioning himself when he called him Brother Songxian.
——
The next day, when Lin Keying heard the man say that he wanted to meet his biological sister while having breakfast, she became alert again.
But the man's next words made her feel relieved: "Since you can't remember anything about your childhood, and even forgot Amin's name, there's no need to talk about the past. Amin was even younger then, and he also doesn't remember anything."
"Yes!" Lin Keying was still thinking about how she would deal with her fiancé's sister if she really met her and she recalled her childhood with her. These words really touched her heart. "The past is the past. The present and the future are more important."
Hearing this, Cheng Wanting looked at the woman deeply and said, "This is what you said. The past is the past."
"certainly!"
When Lin Keying heard the man mention that his sister was called Amin, she didn't think much about it until she saw that this Amin was really that Amin in the villa halfway up the mountain, and she couldn't help but be shocked.
Similarly, when Cheng Min saw the rumored sister-in-law, his eyes widened in shock.
Last night, upon learning that her elder brother was going to take her to meet his sister-in-law, Cheng Min suffered from insomnia for the first time in a long time.
I got up in the middle of the night, opened the closet and chose clothes. The first time I met my sister-in-law, I couldn't be too childish, nor too casual. Being too formal seemed to put pressure on me.
The bed was filled with clothes, from little dresses to long skirts, short skirts, shirts, sweaters, windbreakers... Cheng Min had a headache choosing them, and finally at four in the morning she felt sleepy and decided to go to sleep first.
Before going out, she hesitated for a long time before putting on a white dress. The tweed plaid skirt outlined her beautiful curves, and she wore a short jacket in the same color on the outside. She looked exquisite and elegant, yet had a girlish agility.
When the two met in a villa halfway up the mountain, Cheng Min looked at the woman standing next to his eldest brother in surprise. It turned out to be the owner of the dessert shop!
"It's you, Amin!" That cute girl turned out to be the biological sister of Cheng Wanting, the gloomy and cold man?
These two siblings are so different.
In my imagination, Amin’s brother should be a sunny and cheerful boy.
Shifting her gaze to look at the man in a suit with a strong aura, Lin Keying silently crossed out the words "sunny and cheerful big boy" in her mind.
Nothing to do with it. Absolutely nothing to do with it.
"Ms. Lin!" Cheng Min never expected that she had met her sister-in-law before. "Brother, we have met before."
"Yes." Cheng Wanting did not comment, but only reminded lightly, "Call me sister-in-law."
It was the first time in her life that someone asked her to call her sister-in-law, and Lin Keying was really not used to it.
Cheng Min obediently changed her words: "Sister-in-law!"
Lin Keying hurriedly agreed and took Cheng Min's hand and went into the house.
Mrs. Hua showed off her cooking skills in the kitchen, and the table was filled with sumptuous dishes. Cheng Min quietly looked at her elder brother and her new sister-in-law, her beautiful peach blossom eyes drifting back and forth, full of curiosity.
The eldest brother seemed no different, with his usual powerful and aloof aura.
But there seems to be something different.
The eldest brother would pick up food and serve soup to his sister-in-law, and would even wipe his hands and personally peel shrimps and crabs for her!
My brother obviously hates eating these seafoods. He has no appetite and is tired of getting his hands dirty.
A tender and red fresh shrimp was placed into Lin Keying's bowl. Cheng Wanting noticed his sister's gaze and asked, "Shall I peel one for you?"
"No, no!" Cheng Min has always been independent. She likes to be close to her elder brother but is also a little afraid of him. "Brother, just peel it for me."
Cheng Min stayed in the Mid-Levels villa for half a day and heard from his eldest brother that his sister-in-law was the adopted daughter of a semi-retired wealthy businessman in Hong Kong, and that the two had obtained their marriage certificate a few days ago.
"Get the certificate?!" Cheng Min suffered too many shocks today.
I originally thought that my brother just had a girlfriend, but who would have thought that they had already obtained a marriage certificate so quickly!
"Brother, aren't you going to tell Dad and the family?"
Cheng Wanting's expression was stern: "I have my own arrangements, don't say anything more when you go home."
Cheng Min always listens to her elder brother and thinks her elder brother is the best, so she nodded obediently.
When Lin Keying heard the man introduce herself and only mentioned her identity as the adopted daughter of a wealthy businessman, she felt relieved. It was better this way, without mentioning her past in the mainland.
After dinner, Cheng Min was about to leave. Lin Keying and the man sent her to the door. Cheng Min timidly asked her elder brother, "Brother, can I come to visit my sister-in-law often?"
Cheng Wanting said "hmm" softly: "When I'm busy, you can accompany your sister-in-law."
"Okay!" Cheng Min was delighted.
When Lin Keying heard this, she always felt something was wrong.
......
Cheng Min’s classes on Monday were not very intensive, so he made an appointment with his sister-in-law to go to the art exhibition early the next morning.
The port city has a developed economy. In addition to its booming stock market, real estate, clothing, electronics and other industries, its education, humanities and urban infrastructure are also ahead of many cities.
Cheng Min has loved painting since he was a child. His family hired a private painter to teach him since he was in junior high school. Now he has achieved accomplishments in both Eastern and Western painting.
The art exhibition held at City University of Hong Kong is the place that Cheng Minxin longs to go.
Lin Keying has been in Hong Kong for several months, but has never visited the University of Hong Kong in the 1980s. When she entered the campus with Hong Kong student Cheng Min, the youthful atmosphere that greeted her was refreshing.
"Amin, take a picture for me as a souvenir."
Lin Keying took a photo in front of the red brick wall with the name of HKU written on it. She was wearing a white T-shirt with a light blue denim jacket and a white baseball cap on her head, showing her youthful vitality and looking no different from other college students here.
Not long after, Cheng Wanting received the news.
"Master, the Madam and the Third Miss spent most of the day at HKU, and in the afternoon they went to a dessert shop to eat dessert. They seemed to be getting along very well."
Cheng Min has always had bodyguards around him, specially arranged by Cheng Wanting to ensure the safety of children from wealthy families.
"Nothing unpleasant happened, right?" Cheng Wanting was looking through documents.
"That's not the case." Yang Minghui knew that if he concealed any information, the young master would find out, so he just told him everything, "When I was at HKU, some male college students approached me and invited me to art exhibitions and to the library to read books..."
Cheng Wanting paused as he was holding the pen to sign. After a moment, he snorted coldly, "You don't know your own limitations."
Yang Minghui continued with this: "Madam only has... ahem, there must be the eldest young master, so there is no need to worry."
Thinking of the three words "Brother Songxian" that Lin Keying kept muttering, Yang Minghui took back only two words.
After reporting on the Third Young Miss and his wife, Yang Minghui reported to the Second Young Master: "Master, the Second Young Master has been looking for you for something these days."
Cheng Zhihao suffers in the company every day, and cannot escape due to pressure from his mother. Now he wishes his eldest brother would lose his temper and send him home, but his eldest brother doesn't care about his younger brother who might compete for power, and has no intention of taking action at all.
What about the intrigues among the wealthy families and the battles for inheritance?
Brother, please take action quickly!
Now Cheng Zhihao is looking forward to his elder brother getting married and having children as soon as possible, so that he won’t overwork himself.
Big Brother had been busy for several days, and Cheng Zhihao finally got a chance to walk into Big Brother's office and curiously asked: "Big Brother, I heard...um...that..."
"What's the matter? Just tell me." Cheng Wanting saw that his second brother was gossiping, but did not expose him.
Cheng Zhihao has always been a little afraid of his eldest brother, so he didn't dare to ask directly, "Are you dating someone? Do you have a woman?"
I wouldn’t dare to do it even if I had ten times the courage!
"Brother, Dad wants to ask you if you are dating someone?" Cheng Zhihao decisively brought up his old father and distanced himself from the matter. "I don't believe it, brother, but Dad insisted that I ask."
"Go back and tell him." Cheng Wanting didn't care, and said lazily, "My business has nothing to do with him."
Cheng Zhihao: "..."
When Cheng Zhihao returned home, he caught a glimpse of a face that looked 70% similar to his father. His father, Cheng Guanjie, was older, but his aura was still as strong as before, and he was getting angry.
"What does Cheng Wanting mean? He hasn't come home to visit since he came back from South Africa, and he didn't even mention the matter of that woman!"
This matter was suppressed by Cheng Guanjie. After all, it was an era when even a bad relationship between husband and wife could affect the stock market. As a business tycoon, whether it was a girlfriend or a wife, he could see it as evidence of the direction of his company's development.
Especially in business networking, some of them can lead to investors’ optimism and stock price increases just by spreading news.
It is still unclear who is around my son, so we naturally cannot allow the rumors to spread.
Cheng Min, the only one who knew the inside story, went home and saw his father was angry about it. After struggling for a while, he still kept the secret for his eldest brother: "Dad, my eldest brother is not a child. He is so capable. You don't have to worry even if he is dating. You should pay more attention to your health and don't get angry."
"Amin, how could I be angry if your elder brother was half as obedient as you?" Cheng Guanjie was persuaded by his daughter's gentle words, and his temper eased a little. He asked his daughter to be the middleman with a stern face, "Find some time to call your elder brother. He lives alone in a villa halfway up the mountain. What's good about being alone? This is his home. Who can stay away from home every day?"
"Oh, okay." Cheng Min agreed obediently, but muttered in his heart.
Big brother is not alone, he has a wife!
——
It is really a happy thing that Lin Keying gets along well with her sister-in-law. Especially since the sister-in-law seemed to have no memory of her childhood and had never mentioned it, Lin Keying naturally would not mention it either, and only said that she was Guo Changda's adopted daughter.
As Cheng Min's schedule became more busy, the two had fewer opportunities to meet, so Lin Keying took time out to go to Xitian Building to check on the progress of the renovation.
Among the property staff managing the building, Yang Qiuhui is the most capable. Upon seeing General Manager Lin coming, she hurriedly reported the current progress.
"Boss Lin, currently the sixteen shops are already decorating and arranging their own shops, and we will provide the necessary cooperation."
Each shop sells different products and naturally requires different decoration styles. The building provides basic decoration and leaves the rest to each shop to create freely.
Lin Keying took a tour of the floors below and saw bright and spacious shops gradually taking shape. It looked completely new and completely different from the dilapidated and bankrupt building a few months ago.
When we arrived at the clothing brand area, we saw the stores of the three major local clothing giants lined up one after another, decorated in a sophisticated manner, like a competition arena.
After confirming with Yang Qiuhui the locations of the shops of the Xiang, Wang and Chen families, Lin Keying was about to take a closer look, but then she heard from her employees that she had received a call from South Africa.
South Africa?
Lin Keying's eyes lit up and she hurriedly took the elevator upstairs.
A few minutes later, while elevator No. 1 reached the 20th floor, elevator No. 2 also reached the second floor from the first floor.
As the elevator door opened, a man wearing a floral shirt, jeans and black sunglasses walked straight to his clothing store.
"Mr. Chen." The workers greeted the employer's representative.
Chen Songxian lives in a hotel opposite Xitian Building, facing it from a distance.
This time he secretly returned to Hong Kong City, determined to survive four months in anonymity. That was why, when he came to Xitian Building to sign the contract last time, he deliberately signed his aunt's name instead of his own.
During this period, thanks to the help of his uncle and aunt, Chen Songxian occasionally remembered to show his filial piety. So after hanging out in bars, racetracks, high-end hotels, shopping malls, and racing highways for several days, he thought of coming to see the progress of the shop decoration.
The workers were working hard and didn't know much about the man in front of them. They only knew his surname was Chen and he was the representative of the clothing giant Chen family who was in charge of this matter.
The workers answered whatever Chen Shao asked.
Chen Songxian stood with his hands behind his back, racking his brains to ask some questions, so as not to appear too incompetent.
When they were about to leave, the workers repeatedly assured: "Mr. Chen, don't worry, Miss Lin and the others are very cooperative with the shop renovation. These four shops will definitely be completed on time and with guaranteed quality and quantity."
"Ms. Lin?" Chen Songxian asked casually, "Which Miss Lin?"
"That's Miss Lin who took the photo of Xitian Building. She's very capable at such a young age. Look how beautiful she made the building, which was about to go bankrupt, look."
"Miss Lin is a very nice person. She often treats us to sweet soup and roast meat rice."
"She's pretty, too, like the Miss Hong Kong on TV."
Chen Songxian recalled carefully that he seemed to have seen a report on the auction of Xitian Building on TV, but he never heard of any Miss Lin from beginning to end.
Today's journalists really eat boxed lunches every day, and their reporting is not professional at all.
However, no matter how young and beautiful Miss Lin was, he could not arouse his interest. Chen Songxian returned to Hong Kong City and secretly inquired and looked for her, but he never saw the beautiful lady who had been haunting him and with whom he had a deep connection.
Could it be that the lady got off the ship at some station along the way and hasn't returned to the port city yet? It can't be that he went to South Africa, right?
Chen Songxian was thinking about how hard it was to find a beautiful woman, and walked out of the Xitian Building in depression. In the office on the 20th floor of the building, Lin Keying had just hung up the phone, with a look of joy on her face.
The person in charge of the South African mining area brought good news. Three of the nine mining areas under Lin Keying's name have been mined. The quality of the raw stones from two of them is average, but one is actually a rare good mine.
The subsequent mining of mineral resources from this one mining area alone can earn back the purchase funds of the nine mining areas.
What’s even more reassuring is that the three top hidden mining areas have not yet started construction, and surprises are yet to come!
——
Lin Keying hangs out in the Hong Kong City Shopping Mall, hotels, Xitian Building or dessert shops every day. She also often takes time out of her busy schedule to go surfing. Her schedule is very rich and colorful.
It was just that at the beginning of the month, Cheng Wanting finished his busy schedule and was ready to spend a few more days with his wife, but Lin Keying was still a little uncomfortable.
Cheng Wanting is busy most of the time, so Lin Keying has more freedom in her schedule. Now, she feels a headache listening to her man arranging the date schedule set by Yang Minghui.
"The young master has prepared the following arrangements: 7-8 o'clock is breakfast time, 8-11 o'clock accompany the wife to go shopping in the mall, 11-13 o'clock have lunch at the Regent Hotel, 13-15 o'clock book the entire cinema to watch a movie, 15-17 o'clock go to the racecourse, 17-19 o'clock have dinner at the top restaurant of Victoria Harbour, 19-22 o'clock enjoy the night view on the Victoria Harbour cruise..."
Lin Keying was confused. This arrangement really wasn't work. Was it really a date?
After taking a deep look at the man, Lin Keying finally understood why this man was so successful in his career.
A complete career-minded person.
"How is it? Do you like it?" The arrangements made by Cheng Wanting himself were more attentive and orderly than work arrangements. It was his favorite feeling of having everything under control.
Lin Keying, who reluctantly canceled her surfing plan for today, nodded: "I like it, of course I like it."
A one-day date with a special forces soldier, huh? I'm so tired.
I don’t know if God couldn’t stand it anymore, but the special forces’ date plan suddenly went wrong just as the two of them went out.
Yang Minghui reported the situation. Jardine Matheson suddenly launched an attack and was finding fault with Wharf's development affairs. Cheng Wanting was needed to take charge of the situation.
As the second largest shareholder of Wharf Holdings, although Jardine Matheson does not have as much say as Chen Huanyu, it has maintained Wharf Holdings for many years and has no problem finding fault with it.
He had originally planned to spend a good date with his wife, watching a movie, having a candlelight dinner, and even arranging to take his wife to watch horse racing, but Jardine Matheson suddenly got into trouble, and Cheng Wanting had to cancel the appointment at the last minute.
"Something urgent happened at the company..." Cheng Wanting and Lin Keying were already preparing to leave, so the trip had to be cancelled.
"Of course it's okay, husband." Lin Keying didn't feel too sorry. The special forces soldier's date was scary, and she just happened to go surfing. She was very eager, "You should go to the company soon. I'll just read some books at home. There are so many financial books that I need to read them for a whole day."
Cheng Wanting felt guilty about his considerate wife, so he immediately told Yang Minghui to transfer 5 million to Lin Keying's account: "I heard that the Central Mall has new French jewelry. You can buy whatever you like. You don't have to stay at home all the time."
Lin Keying: "...Okay!"
My husband is too generous. Are you bored at home?
Doesn't exist!
As soon as Cheng Wanting left, Lin Keying drove out quickly and ran towards her muscular coach and beautiful coach in a cool and elegant manner!
The yacht chartered by Lin Keying costs HK$8,000 a day and comes with two surfing instructors.
The male coach is a big muscular man, tall and strong with well-developed muscles. He is gentlemanly and polite when teaching. The female coach is a beautiful woman, careful and gentle, and has a knack for teaching the key points of the movements.
Under the guidance of the two, Lin Keying's surfing skills improved rapidly.
"Ms. Lin, I thought you wouldn't come today." Coach Wu's muscles bulged, and even a black one-piece swimsuit couldn't hide his good figure.
Coach Yang was correcting Lin Keying's movements, and upon hearing this, he praised her: "Ms. Lin must be so eager to surf that she even turned down a date."
Beginners in surfing are indeed easily addicted, and Lin Keying likes the feeling of riding on the waves.
The yacht was moving ahead, and Lin Keying was surfing by pulling the rope at the rear of the yacht. After she had gained balance, she tried to let go of the rope...
——
The blue sea is surging with waves from time to time, beating against the shore again and again.
The beach is crowded with people, and the exquisite and luxurious sea view resort hotel nearby is as dazzling as a pearl on the sea.
"Mr. Cheng, Wharf Holdings cannot be too hasty in its development. We have ports, warehouses, real estate, and building...Now we are also planning to open a Seaview Hotel. If we take too big a step, we will easily capsize."
Cheng Wanting and representatives of Jardine Matheson shareholders had a disagreement on whether to develop a sea view resort.
Hutchison Whampoa had been in the hands of Jardine Matheson for several years and occupied a naturally advantageous position, but it was never very popular because its business philosophy was too conservative and the British capital was not interested in the land.
The comfort of grabbing ready-made profits far outweighs the determination to develop Hutchison Whampoa.
Today, the British, who control Jardine Matheson, also came to find fault and point fingers at the Seaview Resort Hotel.
Cheng Wanting had already submitted a detailed plan, and he didn't want to waste time talking at this moment: "The proposal was passed at the shareholders' meeting last week. If Jardine still has objections to this, they can try to bring it up at the next shareholders' meeting."
Standing in the carefully built sea view resort hotel, it is divided into two areas: the restaurant and the hotel. The restaurant's European-style architecture is eye-catching, and the triangular pure white roof contrasts with the huge circular floor-to-ceiling windows of the entire hotel, forming a unique landscape by the beach.
The 16-story hotel faces the sea, with the best sea-viewing location and pleasant scenery.
The conversation was not pleasant. There was a hint of intimidation in the British representative's words, and he even brought up his close relationship with the Hong Kong Governor's government. Cheng Wanting sneered and ignored him.
After sending the Jardine Matheson shareholder representatives away, Cheng Wanting stood alone in front of the French window with his hands behind his back, watching yachts passing by on the sea outside the window, and surfers dancing on the sea, free and easy...
Just looking at it, Cheng Wanting stared at a figure in the distance with a gloomy expression.
That figure seemed somewhat familiar.
Cheng Wanting left the Seaview Resort Hotel, stepped onto the soft sand, and finally caught a glimpse of the figure in the waves at the seaside.
The woman was wearing a blue one-piece swimsuit and her long hair was tied into a high ponytail. Her hair was soaked by the splashing sea water and hung lazily behind her head.
His slender arms were spread out to the left and right to maintain balance, and his straight long legs were exposed without reservation, as if there was no end in sight, as he stepped on the surfboard.
With every rise and fall of the waves, the surfing woman controls her body and the surfboard, riding with ease.
The bright sunshine falls on the sea, and in the sparkling waves, the woman is also dazzling like a golden dress covered by the sunlight. She turns around and jumps. The back of the swimsuit is tied into a bow with two thin shoulder straps crossed, and the large area of snow-white skin is dazzling.
After finishing surfing, the woman returned to the yacht and high-fived a tall, muscular man to celebrate.
After Yang Minghui sent away the Jardine Matheson shareholder representatives, he returned to the Seaview Hotel but could not find the eldest young master. After asking the bodyguard, he found a figure on the beach that was out of place.
Among the crowd of people doing leisure sports, there is a man in a suit and tie, who looks imposing just from the back.
"Young Master, the people from Jardine Matheson have left." After Yang Minghui reported the situation, he found that the young master said nothing, staring at the sea ahead with burning eyes, with a solemn look on his face.
Following the direction of the eldest young master, Yang Minghui only saw a yacht speeding past, nothing special.
Could it be that the young master wants to buy a yacht?
Yang Minghui, who enthusiastically introduced the yacht to the young master, was also worried. Being busy with work all day was somewhat boring, and the young master really didn't know how to enjoy life.
"Young Master, the several yachts under your name have been idle. Are you going to take them out to sea?" He asked this question without confidence. Yang Minghui knew that the young master never had the leisure time to do so.
"A yacht really shouldn't be left idle." Cheng Wanting raised a cold smile, "Pack up and go out to sea tomorrow."
Lin Keying made great progress in surfing today. She tried jumping while surfing, which was thrilling and satisfying at the same time. Even the two coaches who were keeping watch over her safety praised her for her excellent talent.
In a good mood, Lin Keying returned to her villa halfway up the mountain. After taking a shower, she changed into clean and refreshing pajamas, but she heard a knock on the door at night.
The man returned home exhausted and stood in front of his door holding a large pink gift box in his hand.
Lin Keying, who already had a psychological trauma about men giving her gift boxes, felt a pang in her heart.
Anklets, handcuffs...what else are you going to do!
The man invited her for a date, but his tone was so stiff that it sounded like he was issuing a company notice: "You've wasted time today, I'll take a day off tomorrow, and we'll go out to the sea to play."
Lin Keying's left eye twitched suddenly. Could it be that she was discovered for secretly going surfing at sea without telling her man?
I quietly looked at the man's expression, and it didn't seem like there was anything wrong with him.
"You've been in Hong Kong for so long, but I haven't taken you out to sea yet. It's my negligence."
Lin Keying was naturally considerate: "It's okay, I can go anytime, as long as I can be with you."
"I have prepared your clothes for tomorrow." Cheng Wanting handed over the gift box and went upstairs without saying much.
Carrying the gift box back to the room, Lin Keying prepared herself mentally before opening the lid, hoping that the gift would not be too shocking.
When the lid of the box is opened, the dazzling red color comes into view.
The red one-piece swimsuit was unfolded by Lin Keying by holding the thin straps on the shoulders and neck. The slim swimsuit already showed off her exquisite curves, and the cross design on the back could reveal a large area of her beautiful back.
The swimsuit is fashionable in style and beautiful in color, but why is it exactly the same as the blue swimsuit I'm wearing for surfing today?
