Chapter 77 Chapter 77 Update
The Chen family came to Hong Kong from the mainland more than ten years ago and has already put down roots.
Now, when I met the old servant of the Chen family at the port, I was filled with emotion.
Aunt Mei, the maid, is already over fifty years old, with silver hair on her temples and wrinkles on the corners of her eyes. When she suddenly saw the figure of her former employer in her sunken eyes, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
After more than ten years of absence, no matter how much things have changed, I can still vaguely recognize their past.
"Grandma, Second Grandma." Aunt Mei blurted out the names she used to call her employer, which made Song Xiujuan and Yang Lijun also sigh with emotion.
"Aunt Mei, I haven't seen you for so many years. Are you doing well?"
"Good! Fortunately!" In 1965, the Chen family, who originally thought that there was no danger, smelled danger. They were reported and beaten into a gang and liquidated. The family sold their property in advance and fled. Later, because the news leaked, the second ship failed to set sail. All the servants stayed in the mainland, but they did not suffer persecution.
The servants, who were regarded as poor people enslaved and oppressed by the government, were liberated and eventually sent back home. Some returned to their hometowns to farm the land, while those who were lucky could find temporary jobs in factories. Fourteen years passed like this, and they went through both good and bad times.
As for the host, judging from the style of the eldest and second mistresses, they should be wealthy.
Repulse Bay Villa.
The Chen family’s old house.
Aunt Mei visits her old boss who is recuperating in bed: "Master, Mei is here to see you."
It’s a pity that my wife passed away and I didn’t get to see him for the last time.
Old Master Chen's withered hands were trembling. He patted the hand of his former servant, his slightly narrowed eyes filled with memories.
As the old man was still in good energy today, the Chen family members chatted with him and Aunt Mei, talking about the Chen family's past in mainland China more than ten or twenty years ago.
When the Chen family was in mainland China, they treated their servants kindly and warmly. Aunt Mei had stopped serving people over the years. After being sent back to her hometown, she farmed, got married, had three children, and is now a grandmother.
Because of this, the trip to Hong Kong, which was supposed to have been made more than half a month earlier, was delayed again and again because she had to help take care of the twin grandchildren.
After staying in Mr. Chen's room for a while, everyone got up and left after a while, worried about disturbing his rest.
"Aunt Mei, we finally get to see each other again. It's so rare." Yang Lijun had thought about this over the past ten years. Maybe she was really separated from the mainland and it would be difficult to meet. "You should stay here for a while."
Aunt Mei's visit to Hong Kong this time was mainly for the Chen family to contact one of the servants who had long been scattered everywhere, to inquire about his recent situation and to reminisce about the past.
"I'm very happy to be able to meet my old boss here. I don't want to disturb you too much. I'll be back in a few days..."
Chen Huashan interrupted her: "Aunt Mei, we ate a lot of the food you cooked back then. Now that you are here, stay for a while. Lijun will take you around Hong Kong City when she is free. Don't be in a hurry to go back."
"Yes." Song Xiujuan had not been able to recall her past on the mainland, so she could not help but feel sad when she saw her old friend. "Aunt Mei, please stay a little longer."
Aunt Mei moved into the Chen family after being persuaded by everyone. It was the first time she lived in such a high-end villa. She looked around with curiosity.
After a tour of the Repulse Bay Villa in the afternoon, Chen Huashan, Yang Lijun and his wife talked with Song Xiujuan about their past days in the mainland, and they ran into Chen Songxian who had just returned from a trip to the sea.
"Is this Young Master Songxian?" Aunt Mei often took care of Young Master Songxian and coaxed him to eat.
Chen Songxian stood there in a daze, and after careful identification, he finally recognized that this was Aunt Mei, the maid from his childhood memory.
"Aunt Mei, you're here today? You haven't changed at all in all these years! I remember the delicious food you cooked."
Aunt Mei's eyes wrinkled with smile, and she took the opportunity to talk about the past with Master Songxian. Yang Lijun also asked about Songxian's child bride.
"Aunt Mei, Song Xian's child bride was named Xiaoying. She was very young and couldn't go on the ship with us. I don't know how she is doing now."
Aunt Mei returned to her hometown after the government liquidated the □□ and gradually had less contact with the other servants of the Chen family. She only vaguely remembered: "It should be the old housekeeper who took Xiaoying away. Later, I heard that Xiaoying came to Gangcheng to look for her relatives. I don’t know the details."
Regarding the matter of the child bride coming to Hong Kong to look for her parents, Yang Lijun has recently contacted an old servant of the Chen family in mainland China and received the same information.
The old housekeeper and the child bride were preparing to go to Hong Kong to find their relatives, but the old housekeeper died of illness before leaving, and the child bride seemed to be looking for her relatives alone.
"But we have never seen any relatives from the mainland coming to look for their relatives." Yang Lijun was worried that something had happened to the child.
Chen Huashan pondered: "It's easy. You must take a ship to come to Hong Kong from the mainland. I can ask the Cheng family to help check whether there has been any... By the way, what was Xiaoying's full name back then?"
It has been such a long time, and everyone has always called her Xiaoying, so how could she remember her full name?
Aunt Mei hadn't had any contact with them for more than a decade. She recalled carefully in her mind, "I remember Xiaoying's last name was Lin...Lin Keying. We had some contact two years before you left. Xiaoying was a skinny little kid who didn't like to talk to people and was timid."
Everyone in the audience, except Chen Songxian, looked shocked.
Lin Keying?
A familiar name rang in my ears. Isn’t that the name of Cheng Wanting’s new wife?
Everyone looked at each other, with ripples in their eyes, and no one knew what they were thinking about.
Song Xiujuan thought of Lin Keying, the fashionable, beautiful and capable owner of Xitian Building, and the bright and charming Lin Keying at the wedding of the eldest son of the Cheng family.
The corners of her mouth twitched stiffly, and Song Xiujuan smiled somewhat reluctantly: "What a coincidence, I have the same name as Wan Ting's wife, haha."
No one believed that the skinny and reserved child bride who grew up in the countryside of mainland China would be the bright and charming Lin Keying today.
It's just too coincidental.
As the only person who knew the situation, Chen Songxian had a hard time expressing his grievances.
I really want to tell my parents and aunt that, yes, my cousin’s wife is my child bride! ! !
But what should I do after I tell it out?
The fact that he disliked his child bride and asked his cousin to handle it secretly a few months ago was about to be exposed, and the relationship between the Chen and Cheng families would be in trouble.
Chen Songxian opened his mouth, not knowing where to start.
The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things. Regardless of the fact that Cheng Wanting's wife has the same name as the child bride the Chen family is looking for, Chen Huashan decided: "Then I will contact the Cheng family and help check if there is any record of Lin Keying from the mainland entering Hong Kong in the past few months."
——
When Yang Minghui received the news from his subordinates, he was accompanying Cheng Wanting in a secret conversation with British businessman Charles.
In the general manager's office of Huanyu Group, Cheng Wanting and British businessman Charles were sitting on each side of the sofa.
With the help of Cheng Wanting, Charles asked the British Hong Kong government for a lot of resources to allocate to the land in Shatin. In his eyes, Cheng Wanting himself had no land in Shatin, but he was so dedicated to helping him, which was really...
So stupid.
Charles always liked to deal with stupid people. All they need to do is give these Hong Kong businessmen a little bit of benefit, and they can take advantage of them at will.
"Mr. Cheng, we have a very pleasant cooperation. As you know, Liu Zhigao of Tianxing Real Estate has already cooperated with William. Several major capitals have joined forces to take over the remaining land in the Central and Western District and Wan Chai District. Now only if we join forces can we compete with them a little."
The Huanyu Group has not made any statement yet, but Charles is confident that he can bring Huanyu under his control.
Cheng Wanting's expression was unclear, with only a faint smile on the corner of his lips.
......
When Yang Minghui heard that the Chen family was calling, he could not disturb the eldest young master who was discussing important matters at the moment, so he went there alone and answered the phone.
"Mr. Chen, if there is anything important, please tell me. It's easy to check whether a person is on board. Don't worry, I will make sure it's done." Chen Huashan on the other end of the phone asked the Cheng family for help. Yang Minghui knew the close relationship between the two families, so he naturally agreed, "Just tell me the person's information."
"That person is from the mainland. He should have come to Hong Kong a few months ago. His name is Lin Keying."
Yang Minghui: “…”
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.
Chen Huashan knew that this would definitely cause misunderstanding, so he hurriedly explained: "Secretary Yang, please don't misunderstand. This Lin Keying from the mainland is our Songxian's child bride. She has the same name as Wan Ting's wife. Haha, isn't it a coincidence?"
Yang Minghui: “…”
Is it possible that they are not duplicate names?
After casually agreeing and hanging up the phone, Yang Minghui's eyes went dark.
The Chen family did seek help and indeed asked the right people, but did they dare to say anything?
Standing at the office door trembling with fear, Yang Minghui finally waited for the door to open from the inside.
Charles left angrily with a look of surprise on his face. Yang Minghui politely sent him downstairs and then returned to the office to report.
It's easy to imagine that the young master would never agree to Charles' alliance proposal. If he gets too involved with these people, he might get bitten back.
But now there are more important things.
"Master, this is bad." Yang Minghui actually knew that this day would come. It is impossible to keep a lie forever. "The Chen family has discovered that the wife came to Hong Kong half a year ago. Please help us check the boarding and entry records of Miss Lin Keying, the child bride of Master Chen."
Cheng Wanting was looking through the development plan for the Shatin land. Hearing this, he raised his eyes suddenly, but there was no panic in his deep eyes: "Just say that there is no record."
"Yes." Cheng Wanting had originally instructed Yang Minghui to erase all records of Lin Keying boarding the ship to Hong Kong to prevent it from being discovered by the Chen family.
The record was erased, and Yang Minghui felt more confident when he replied.
The Chen family was worried after receiving the reply. Could it be that the child bride Lin Keying did not board the ship? Then they had to go to the mainland to look for her.
Chen Songxian, the only one who knew the inside story, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it.
In the beginning, I was the one who begged my cousin to arrange for a child bride, and I even specifically asked to erase the boarding record in order to prevent it from being discovered by my family.
But when he really heard such an answer, Chen Songxian couldn't help cursing in his heart.
My cousin lied without thinking, so when he erased Ke Ying's entry record into Hong Kong, was it to help his cousin or for himself?
++++
Lin Keying didn't know that someone was looking for her.
At night, in the study, she curiously looked through the Sha Tin land development plan in the man's hand.
Thousands of acres of land were auctioned at a relatively low price, but now the land is being hyped up with the resources obtained by Charles. Now is a good time to develop and build villa complexes, commercial buildings, and office buildings.
Flipping through the pages, Lin Keying was amazed at the detailed development plan. This was a project worth more than 10 billion yuan per minute.
And I also own 7% of the shares!
Cheng Wanting sat in his office chair, letting Lin Keying look around. He caught a glimpse of her eyes sparkling as she read the Sha Tin development plan.
He pushed his knees forward slightly, and the woman who was leaning over the desk lost her balance and fell into his arms.
Cheng Wanting took the opportunity to put his arm around Lin Keying's waist and held her in his arms.
There are free human cushions, it would be a waste if you don’t sit on them.
Lin Keying found a comfortable position, leaned in the man's arms, and curiously asked: "Charles invited you to cooperate, did you really refuse?"
This evening, she heard the man talking to someone on the phone in the living room, and he mentioned this matter during the conversation.
Cheng Wanting placed one hand on the woman's waist, tilted his head closer to the side of her neck where her skin was thinnest, and breathed softly, causing a shudder: "Hmm."
"Then aren't you afraid that Liu Zhigao, who is cooperating with British businessmen, will win over other wealthy businessmen to target you together?" Lin Keying's concerns are not unreasonable. Once they avoid forming an alliance, those who are left alone are likely to become targets.
"Then let them give it a try." The man said lightly, arrogantly and domineeringly.
Lin Keying broke free from the man's arms, stepped on the ground barefoot, and the hem of her white dress fluttered: "Boss Cheng is really powerful, so you better be careful, don't let him defeat you! Just work hard, I won't bother you anymore."
You should just go back to your room and read some gossip magazines!
After being stopped by the man in the study and kissing him for a while before being able to "escape", Lin Keying returned to the bedroom and lay on the bed reading novels and gossip magazines.
The day is over and this is the most relaxing time.
Lin Keying was reading "The Book and the Sword" with great interest. She felt a little tired and simply picked up the gossip magazine beside the bed.
One advantage of old gossip magazines is that they provide a glimpse into Hong Kong's past secrets, including some of the changes in the closeness and undercurrents between political and business celebrities.
The gossip magazines love to write about the love affairs between rich men and Hong Kong beauties or celebrities. Firstly, they are well-known among the public and can arouse strong curiosity among the citizens. Secondly, the rich men have amazing status and financial resources, and most of these people are mysterious, which naturally attracts more attention.
Lin Keying was reading the gossip and was surprised to find that Amy's name appeared on a small piece of paper on a page inside the magazine.
It is rumored that Amy, an artist under Hongsheng Entertainment, is dating the son of a wealthy businessman...The accompanying picture is even a blurry snapshot, and the printing technology at that time was not as good as that of later generations, so one can only barely make out that it is a man and a woman behaving intimately.
However, there is no confirmation on who the rich businessman's son is. The paparazzi only suspiciously listed several wealthy business families... the electronics industry Wang family, the clothing tycoon Xiang family, the real estate tycoon Liu family, and the clothing tycoon Chen family.
Lin Keying took a quick glance and was surprised that the artists under her company were also quite emotionally involved. Last time, she even mentioned that her ex-boyfriend was called Song Xian Ge.
Thinking of Hong Sheng, Lin Keying put down the magazine, stood up, took out a pen and paper, and hurriedly listed some actors, screenwriters and directors who had appeared in the book and became famous in later generations.
In the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, the Hong Kong entertainment industry was severely involuted. Although the artists who debuted had strong professional skills, almost all of them were good at acting, singing and dancing, and they were good at everything. However, they could not necessarily become famous.
Many people achieve success late in life. They spend the first half of their lives playing minor roles and living in poverty. It is only in the later period that they finally become famous with their solid acting skills.
The next day, Lin Keying went to Hongsheng and handed the list to the talent scout Tang Qiankun: "Go and look for these people. I don't know their exact location, but with your ability, you should be able to find a way, right?"
Tang Qiankun has been on a meteoric rise recently, having risen from a small scout to a team leader, all because he has long had a good relationship with the new boss of Hongsheng.
"Ms. Lin... No, Mr. Lin!" Tang Qiankun was already tired of Sun Bozong and didn't want to do this anymore, but he never expected that things would turn around. "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
There are many things that Lin Keying cannot let Cheng Wanting know, whether it is a reminder letter to Lam Ka-tung, or the advance planning to find contracted artists at this moment. Once these things happen, it is hard not to arouse Cheng Wanting's suspicion.
If he finds out that I'm abnormal, I'll be doomed!
There aren't many people around her that she can use, so she has to be careful.
"Tang Qiankun, if the things I asked you to do get out..."
"Mr. Lin, how is that possible! Don't worry, I keep my mouth shut." Tang Qiankun was a shrewd man and knew that the woman in front of him was no ordinary person.
When I first met her, I only had the impression that she was a young and beautiful woman. Now, she owns Xitian Building and Hongsheng Entertainment Company, and may even have other industries, but I am not aware of it.
In addition, her man had come to Hongsheng with a large group of people to rescue people, and his aura was so strong that she almost broke an arm because of it.
Since he could hold on to this thigh and be of some use to Lin Keying, he naturally had to know what to say and what not to say.
Lin Keying nodded: "It doesn't matter if it's not strict. I asked you to do something. If it is leaked once, no matter who else knows about it, then you will just pay me back what you owe me."
Covering his arm, Tang Qiankun trembled.
Lin Keying is well versed in employing people. She gave a slap in the face and then a treat. "Now that Hongsheng is reorganizing, it is the right time to employ people. If you get things done, you will have great potential in the future."
After receiving the order, Tang Qiankun took the note written by Lin Keying and searched everywhere. He used the connections he had accumulated over the years as a scout and paparazzi, and finally found the first person on the note in the poorest area of Kowloon Walled City.
The man's name was Wu Jinliang. He had long, fluffy hair that almost covered his eyes. He had a stubbled beard and his features were barely visible. His clothes were tattered and dirty. He was working as a porter at the dock, doing the cheapest job possible.
Tang Qiankun took a step back in surprise. Mr. Lin...Mr. Lin has a very unique taste.
Judging from his appearance, his only advantage is that he is tall, about 1.8 meters tall, and because he does physical work such as carrying things, he is strong and healthy.
However, although scout Tang Qiankun has discovered countless artists, he hit a wall this time.
When she handed over the business card of Hongsheng Entertainment Company, the man didn't even look at it and walked away. When he heard that she introduced herself as a scout who came to recruit him to act in a movie, the man laughed at her sarcastically.
In the end, Tang Qiankun used his money power to buy the man a trip to Hongsheng after work in exchange for his one-day moving work wages.
Even though I didn't understand, I just followed orders.
Tang Qiankun took Wu Jinliang to wash up, trim his hair, and change into clean clothes to avoid making General Lin smell bad.
However, Wu Jinliang looks quite stunning after a simple makeover.
Although he looked indifferent and only wanted to do things for money, the tall and indifferent man in tattered clothes showed a rare temperament under his rough appearance.
Low, restrained and profound, like the silent deep sea, dangerous and charming.
Tang Qiankun was shocked. Lin...Mr. Lin has a good vision.
Lin Keying remembered that Wu Jinliang, one of the best actors in Hong Kong described in the book, was born in poverty but had high artistic ethics. He lived a poor life in the early days and did countless odd jobs. He was even hit on a construction site and broke one of his legs, causing him to walk with a limp. It was not until he was 30 that he unexpectedly became famous for his guest role in a movie. Later, he broke through the siege in the Hong Kong entertainment circle with his restrained and superb acting skills and his unique rough and abstinent style.
Wu Jinliang is now 25 years old, five years away from entering the entertainment industry, and he has not yet been injured.
Lin Keying sent a contract to Wu Jinliang, preparing to let the person who should shine in this field bloom in advance.
Wu Jinliang's eyes, which had always been cold and distant, were filled with a huge wave of disbelief as he saw the contract in front of him.
......
Not long after Tang Qiankun brought Wu Jinliang back to Hongsheng, the news reached Huanyu Group.
Yang Minghui only reported the key points when reporting his work: "Young Master, it seems that the madam asked her scouts to find someone. He is a man 1.85 meters tall, tall and strong. Very handsome."
Tall, strong, stylish...
Cheng Wanting heard those two words...
He couldn't help but feel a little regretful as to why he had taken the initiative to ask his wife to take over Hongsheng Entertainment Company.
He really should be buried with Sun Bozong.
++++
The list that Lin Keying gave Tang Qiankun only contained names, genders and approximate age ranges.
The second person is a 30-year-old woman. He Lin was a very talented actress in her early years, but she retired from the screen at the age of 23, got married and had children, and fell into the abyss of being a housewife. She gradually lost the glory of her early twenties, quit her job, took care of her husband and children, and eventually ended up being looked down upon by her husband and children, struggling in the quagmire.
It was not until she was forty that she returned to the film industry and finally picked up her long-wasted talent, gradually found her confidence, and rekindled the light in her eyes.
Now 30 years old, she stood in front of Lam Ho Ying with lifeless eyes. After a decade away from the film industry, she received the contract again. Her first reaction was: "How can I act?"
Lin Keying's eyes were firm: "Of course you can, as long as you want."
......
The rest of the names on the note were a little difficult to find. While Tang Qiankun was trying hard to find them, Lin Keying and Cheng Wanting were preparing to return to Cheng's house tomorrow to attend their niece Wenwen's birthday.
Tomorrow is their daughter's third birthday, and Cheng Zhihao and his wife have made quite a few arrangements. Not only will their own family members be attending, they have also invited some good neighboring families in Deep Water Bay to join them.
Lin Keying and Cheng Min went to He Ji's Dessert Shop to have a bowl of dessert and then prepared to pick out a gift for their niece.
He Yating is only in the first year of high school, but she is already studying law books. Last time she decided to say goodbye to her dream of becoming an actress, she plans to become a lawyer, and now she has already started preparing in advance.
Cheng Min curiously went over to watch the fun. The dense legal clauses were really too difficult for a high school student.
"Tingting, you are really ambitious."
He Yating's face was full of joy: "After I have learned it well, Sister Amin, Sister Keying, if any of you need help from a lawyer, I will help you for free."
Lin Keying was checking accounts with Sister He and discussing the plan of expanding the He Ji Dessert Shop again. She smiled and said, "Okay, from now on, we will let you draft the legal terms of our company."
Now she is involved in the catering, shopping mall and entertainment industries. Together with the income from rental properties and stocks, Lin Keying earns more than five million yuan a month.
Sure enough, money makes money the fastest.
After eating the sweet soup, Lin Keying and Amin went shopping at a nearby mall. They picked out a pendant made of exquisite jade carved into petals and a pair of gold engraved bracelets for three-year-old Wenwen.
After choosing the gifts, Lin Keying drove back to her villa in Mid-Levels. Cheng Min was originally planning to take a taxi back to Deep Water Bay, but suddenly thought of bringing some sweet soup back for her family, so she prepared to go to Ho Kee's Sweet Soup Shop again.
He just hurried back to the dessert shop, but ran into a few gangsters who were harassing and collecting protection fees in front of He Ji's dessert shop.
At the moment, only Sister He and her daughter and two thin shop assistants were in the main store. They were obviously at a disadvantage facing the aggressive and scoundrelly gangsters.
He was accompanied by a bodyguard, and the other side had a large number of people. Seeing that there was no danger for the time being, Cheng Min asked the bodyguard to go forward to help, while he retreated to the street and called the police using a public phone.
This time, her reason for calling the police was too normal!
When Liang Zhengxuan responded to the police report, he saw several gangsters lying on the ground. Next to them was the young woman he had seen three times before, and the shop owner who was harassed by the gangsters.
Sister He told the police about being harassed and asked for protection money. Liang Zhengxuan and the other two policemen handcuffed her and took her away before they could even take action.
only...
"Who knocked down these gangsters?" Liang Zhengxuan looked at the people present. The shop owner was old, his daughter was young, and the two young and thin shop assistants did not look like...
The other person was the strange young lady who called the police and looked even less like someone who could beat up a group of gangsters.
When Sister He, He Yating and the two shop assistants heard the question, they looked at Cheng Min reflexively.
If Cheng Min hadn't asked the bodyguard hiding nearby to take action, the gangsters might have just robbed the money.
Liang Zhengxuan followed the sight of the others and looked at the slender woman, his eyes gradually filled with surprise: "You knocked her down?"
Cheng Min didn't want to tell the truth, fearing that the police would discover the whereabouts of her bodyguard and thus expose her identity. She could only purse her lips and nod reluctantly.
It doesn't matter if I pretend to be you once, since I won't see you again anyway.
The gangsters on the ground didn't dare to say a word.
Liang Zhengxuan looked at the woman's thin arms and legs, and spoke softly, saying immediately: "Then come back to the police station with us."
"Ah?" Cheng Min has always been law-abiding. "Mr. Liang, I'm a good person!"
Liang Zhengxuan smiled and said, "Miss, what are you thinking about? Since you are an eyewitness and you helped to deal with the gangsters, you need to cooperate with us to go back to the police station to make a statement."
Cheng Min: “…”
Cheng Min, who had never ridden in a police car in his life and even always believed that only bad guys who were being arrested would ride in a police car, felt complicated.
Cheng Min cooperated with the police officers in giving his statement in a disciplined manner, except that he did not reveal that the gangster was defeated by his bodyguard.
After the transcript was completed, Cheng Min breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave, but saw Sir Liang, who was assigning tasks to his subordinates in the noisy police station, taking the transcript of himself from the police officer.
The man raised his eyebrows with a smile and hawk-like eyes: "Ms. Cheng, you are really brave to fight five people alone. Why don't you apply for the police academy? Our police station needs talents like you."
Cheng Min: “…”
He ran away quickly with a red face!
++++
The next day we went to the Cheng family’s old house.
Wenwen celebrated her third birthday with everyone's congratulations, eating a beautiful and sweet cream cake. The gifts she received were worth over hundreds of thousands of dollars, and she thanked everyone with a sweet mouth.
After the cake was cut, everyone enjoyed a delicious lunch.
After dinner, the villa was filled with guests. Even Cheng Wanting was called away by his business partners to exchange a few words, while Lin Keying was stopped by her father-in-law.
Cheng Guanjie is used to being the boss, always serious, and loves to teach people: "Keying, you are now married into the Cheng family, so you should end all the mess in the past..."
He didn't want to explain his relationship with the Chen family, especially Chen Songxian, but he believed that his daughter-in-law could understand.
Lin Keying nodded, but she was a little hesitant in her heart. What a mess that had happened in the past. Her original body had been honest and dutiful in the mainland for more than ten years, so nothing had happened to her.
However, after taking one look at her father-in-law's intimidating face, Lin Keying didn't dare ask any more questions.
When elders or leaders lecture you, just let it go in one ear and out the other. The more you ask, the more trouble you will get into.
This is the truth that Lin Keying summed up after working in the workplace for many years in her previous life.
Cheng Guanjie saw that his daughter-in-law's attitude was acceptable, so he continued, "Wan Ting is busy with work, you need to be more understanding and supportive, and don't cling to him every day because of your sentimental relationship."
Lin Keying cried out that she was innocent. Who is harassing whom?
But she nodded again: "Dad, don't worry, I promise not to bother Wan Ting, I will supervise him to work well."
Work more, earn more money, that's the right thing to do!
Cheng Guanjie became more and more satisfied, and finally mentioned: "As the wife of the general manager of Huanyu Group, you have a lot of responsibilities. You can spend more time with the wives of politicians and businessmen who have close ties with Huanyu."
Lin Keying didn't quite agree with this. Forced socializing was so tiring. She was about to say something perfunctory when she heard her father-in-law continue speaking.
"I'll transfer three million to your account. You can't save money on favors like this. Be generous. Wan Ting has never cared about these things, but he didn't realize they can be very useful."
Lin Keying: "...! Okay, thank you, Dad."
There is such a good thing?
After listening to a few minutes of education, I earned three million!
Looking at it this way, my father-in-law’s always dignified face doesn’t seem so fierce anymore!
Cheng Guanjie waved his hand and sent his daughter-in-law away. Lin Keying fled quickly as if she was getting off work, and in the blink of an eye she ran into her sister-in-law.
Cheng Min now has some free time to talk to his sister-in-law about yesterday's embarrassing incident, and he still feels embarrassed.
Lin Keying's almond-shaped eyes curved into crescents as she smiled: "You are really capable. You can even fight five people alone! I think that Mr. Liang is about to question his life. Hahaha."
"Oh, sister-in-law!" Cheng Min pulled Lin Keying's arm and acted coquettishly, not allowing her sister-in-law to laugh at her anymore.
Lin Keying fed her sister-in-law a mouthful of mugwort glutinous rice cake to comfort her wounded heart.
Lin Keying specially made some cakes and little Wenwen loved them. For children of this age, simple delicacies are more attractive than gold or jade worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Wenwen gave her aunt a sweet kiss on the face and said in a baby voice, "It's delicious."
After hugging the little girl for a while, Lin Keying stood up, only to see Cheng Wanting looking at her with burning eyes.
Leaning over and picking up a piece of mugwort glutinous rice cake, Lin Keying fed it to the man: "Come on, husband, I can't ignore you."
Lin Keying made a deliberate joke and saw Cheng Wanting burst into laughter. His handsome and tough face was like a crack in an iceberg, with spring vitality suddenly appearing, looking quite handsome.
The man took a bite of the mugwort glutinous rice cake in his hand, and in a blink of an eye, the busy man Cheng Wanting was called away by other wealthy businessmen to chat.
Before leaving, Cheng Wanting said, "I'll be back soon and will be home soon."
"Okay." Lin Keying continued to eat various snacks and desserts with her second brother's wife and sister-in-law.
After eating a few desserts, Lin Keying searched around the villa for a certain figure but to no avail. She could only ask Cheng Min: "Amin, where is Dad?"
When I got married, my father-in-law gave me a red envelope of four million yuan as a token of congratulations.
As she had just been given another three million to use for socializing, Lin Keying decided to give her father-in-law some mugwort glutinous rice cake, a delicacy from his hometown, as a token of gratitude, because the gift may be small but the sentiment is great.
Cheng Min pointed upstairs: "In the study."
Lin Keying knocked on the study door while carrying mugwort glutinous rice cakes and saw Cheng Guanjie and Fu Yuehong who were alone in the study.
"Dad, Auntie Hong." Lin Keying brought a plate of mugwort glutinous rice cakes over. "You weren't here when we were eating just now, so I brought it here specifically for you to try."
Fu Yuehong looked at the delicate and tempting green glutinous rice ball and praised: "Keying, you are so skillful. Master, try it quickly."
Cheng Guanjie has never liked eating these soft and sticky things. Just as he was about to refuse, he heard his daughter-in-law continue speaking.
"Dad, Aunt Hong, why don't you try the flavors from your hometown?" The wealthy family in the book are from the same place as the original self and herself. Lin Keying said this casually while working hard to promote her own food.
"Hometown?" Cheng Guanjie and Fu Yuehong, who were born and raised in Gangcheng, were a little surprised as they had never heard of this specialty in Gangcheng.
"Yeah." Lin Keying was now much more relaxed, and continued the topic, "You probably haven't eaten this for more than ten years since you came from the mainland. Brother Songxian likes to eat this, saying that it tastes like childhood memories."
When talking about the past, Lam Keying deliberately changed her name to her husband's former name to show closeness.
There was a clanging sound; it was the sound of Fu Yuehong not holding the teacup firmly and almost dropping it.
There was a thud as Cheng Guanjie suddenly stood up. However, his vision went dark and he almost lost his balance. There was the sound of his knee hitting the desk leg.
The two men's pupils dilated as if struck by lightning, and they were so shocked that they were speechless.
Less than a moment later, there was another knock on the study door, and Cheng Wanting came to pick up his wife and leave: "Keying, we're going home."
"good."
"Wait!" Cheng Guanjie's suppressed angry voice sounded, "Cheng Wanting, come in! You two get out first!"
Lin Keying was confused, not knowing why her father-in-law suddenly seemed angry. She seemed a little unsteady when she stood up, but she also understood that there was a war going on and she should run away.
Fu Yuehong, who was looking at her in astonishment, left the study and went downstairs. After the door was closed, Lin Keying asked curiously, "Auntie Hong, why is Dad suddenly angry?"
Fu Yuehong's mind was in a mess. She looked at Lin Keying in shock. Suddenly, she didn't know who the woman in front of her was.
In the study, Cheng Guanjie held onto the corner of the table to steady himself, nearly fainting: "Cheng Wanting, explain yourself to me! Who does Keying think you are, and who does she think our Cheng family is!"
