Chapter 79 Chapter 79 Update
"I don't want to date or get married." Chen Songxian stuffed the photo back into his uncle's hand and refused with his neck stiff, "Uncle, you and cousin don't have to worry about it."
Humph, it must be my cousin’s idea. He wants to send myself to Africa and never come back.
He is capable of doing such a thing!
Cheng Guanjie felt mixed emotions. His own son had done such a shameless thing, and now his nephew was deeply hurt. He couldn't hold his head up!
Finding an opportunity to be alone with his nephew, Cheng Guanjie comforted him, "Songxian, your cousin was not fair in this matter. Don't be angry. Now that the matter is done, I have to worry more about your lifelong affairs. If you don't like Hong Kong City, take a look at Africa. There are all rich and powerful families, and there are hundreds of mining areas. If you really go there, you will be able to walk sideways in Africa in the future."
Chen Songxian was firm: "Uncle, I will never go to Africa again! I don't even want to get married, so don't worry about me. By the way, tell my cousin that he may not have the last laugh!"
He just didn't believe it. How could any woman really stand his cousin's cold and heartless temper?
Sooner or later, Keying will be chilled by this man who is obsessed with work and neglects women every day, and they may even separate and divorce in the future.
Cheng Guanjie felt a throbbing headache, wondering if his nephew was still thinking about his child bride.
What an injustice, what an injustice!
——
Lin Keying noticed the recent abnormality of the Cheng family, especially the relationship between Cheng's father and her husband seemed to be tense.
At night, she lay on the man's chest and gossiped, "What happened between you and Dad recently? He and Aunt Hong and Aunt Lian don't seem to welcome us back to Deep Water Bay."
This is really abnormal. Did my husband do something bad recently to anger my father-in-law?
Lin Keying recalled carefully and thought that there shouldn't be any.
Cheng Wanting is obsessed with work every day. Huanyu's main business is thriving. Last year's major project, Wharf Holdings, is developing well. Even the land in Sha Tin, in which he secretly holds shares, is now a hot commodity.
How could I make my father-in-law so angry that he doesn't want his son and daughter-in-law to come home?
Cheng Wanting chuckled: "Don't think about it, do you still want to go back and have dinner with them?"
"Not really, it's just that dad is quite generous and transferred so much money to me." Lin Keying thought her father-in-law was a good man. "Why did he suddenly change? Could it be that I have offended them in some way?"
"Of course not." Cheng Wanting curled his lips, "They just have something against me."
Lin Keying secretly asked her sister-in-law about it, but Cheng Min didn't know the reason. She just thought that her father and other people in the family were a little weird, but they didn't scold anyone.
Lin Keying simply didn't care. In that case, she would just let Cheng Wanting deal with it.
However, even though he was disliked by his family, Cheng Wanting did not change at all. He looked calm and was still busy with his own affairs.
When Yang Minghui learned that Cheng's father and others knew the eldest young master's secret, he was shocked but also felt relieved.
Finally, someone else in this world knows about this!
I'm suffocating myself!
From now on, I am no longer the only one suffering!
"Young Master, does the Master need closer attention?" After feeling thankful, Yang Minghui still had to think carefully. Although Father Cheng had not taken any radical action now, and had no intention of exposing the matter to Lin Keying or Chen Songxian, it is better to be safe than sorry.
What if one day, Mr. Cheng suddenly told the truth on impulse? Yang Minghui didn't dare to think about it. He felt like his brain was going to explode just thinking about it.
But the eldest young master was calm and said, "Don't worry about it. The old man cares about his reputation. He is busy covering up for me, so he won't expose it on his own initiative."
Yang Minghui: “…”
No one knows the father better than his son!
Each and every one of them was controlled by the young master and everything was planned perfectly for them. Yang Minghui couldn't help but wipe his sweat.
"By the way, is the person you asked to investigate sure?"
Yang Minghui immediately put aside his distracting thoughts and entered the state of reporting work: "I have found a candidate who meets your requirements. She is a woman, very skilled, has no relatives or friends, is cold and unsociable, and is very grateful for your kindness."
"Um."
"Master, should we go directly to the Xinyi Society to ask for the person? I'm afraid the Xinyi Society will not release him." Yang Minghui did his duty and found out everything. "Especially since the Xinyi Society and Sanhetang have had a quarrel recently, there may be a fight."
"No hurry, wait until they start fighting, then go. Those who come now are not loyal enough." Cheng Wanting would not easily intervene in gang fights, which is not in line with the rules of the underworld. "Find someone to keep an eye on him, don't let that guy get killed first."
Yang Minghui nodded awkwardly, only feeling that the eldest master usually arranged small matters in a swift and decisive manner, and only had the patience to make such arrangements when it involved his wife.
A few days later, when Lin Keying was listening to the newly appointed screenwriter Zhang Haili reporting on the script of a new TV drama project at Hongsheng Entertainment Company, she received a call from Cheng Wanting.
At that time, Lin Keying was shocked by Zhang Haili's solid plot setting and amazing group portrait creation, and she only lamented that this talent was really wasted doing odd jobs on the set.
However, the newly hired screenwriter Zhang was not very confident and even asked awkwardly: "Mr. Lin, what do you think? This is the story I want to write."
Zhang Haili was worried that her story was not eye-catching enough and not as shocking as the gun battles that are popular in the market today.
As a fledgling screenwriter, I felt very nervous.
She even thought that if her boss asked her to change the script and add some fighting scenes, she would refuse after righteously defending her beloved story. Then she was kicked out and went back to the set to do odd jobs, distribute lunch boxes to extras, and carry various equipment... Lin Keying had no idea that the golden screenwriter in front of her was thinking about it. She curved her almond eyes and said excitedly, "Editor Zhang, this story is great, let's shoot it according to your idea!"
With his experience of traveling through two lifetimes and loving watching dramas, movies and reading novels, he will definitely become famous!
"Thank you, Mr. Lin! Thank you, Mr. Lin!" Zhang Haili bowed to express her gratitude. She was worried about losing her boss's money, and was about to express her determination again when she heard the phone in the office ringing.
When she was leaving, she heard her boss say, "Husband!"
Lin Keying didn't expect that Cheng Wanting actually skipped work at this moment and drove to Hongsheng to pick her up. He was very mysterious and didn't even tell her the destination.
Sitting in the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz, Lin Keying was curious: "Where are we going? Don't you have to work now?"
The man had long arms and legs, and the spacious back seat made it look a bit tight. He smiled faintly and said, "Go pick a bodyguard for you."
Lin Keying was surprised: "I don't want to, don't even think about finding someone to keep an eye on me."
abnormal!
"Don't worry, I'll pick one for you who will definitely be loyal to you."
Lin Keying was curious. She didn't believe that the bodyguard chosen by this man would be loyal only to herself.
I thought the man was going to take me to choose from a group of well-trained bodyguards, but unexpectedly, the man brought me to the chaotic Kowloon Walled City.
The mottled and dilapidated buildings are stacked one on top of another, making it airtight and without sunlight. There is only a one-meter-wide aisle between the buildings. This place is poor and chaotic, and is a no-man's land in the port city.
It is also a place where many gangs gather.
In the dilapidated houses in the east, there are gangs of all sizes hidden. The gangsters have dyed yellow hair, bare tattooed arms, and cigarettes in their mouths. They look arrogant and conceited. They scare ordinary citizens along the way and make them flee in panic, feeling quite proud of themselves.
But today, a more serious gang fight seems to have broken out.
Some were running away, covering their wounds while running wildly, while others fell to the ground and were ruthlessly abandoned by their companions.
Someone not far away yelled, "The police are coming!"
Hearing the police's call, the remaining two parties in the fight scattered with steel pipes and machetes in hand, and even the injured struggled to get up from the ground.
Lin Keying has seen movies related to Hong Kong's Young and Dangerous, but she was shocked when she was in the scene herself.
"Why are we here...?" Lin Keying's eyes showed some reluctance, especially when she saw the injured and bleeding people not far ahead.
"Take your bodyguard away." Cheng Wanting looked calm, as if he was completely oblivious to the gang fight at this moment. "Don't think about helping or saving anyone. Once you help or support someone, it's like you're taking sides between the two gangs. It's a taboo for outsiders to interfere in gang fights."
Lin Keying understood what Cheng Wanting said, but as a law-abiding citizen, she couldn't bear to see this.
The three of them, along with a group of black-clad bodyguards and a doctor, walked all the way inside and stopped in front of a dilapidated house deep inside a building.
"There are bodyguards prepared for you inside." Cheng Wanting stood in front of the mottled wooden door, looking at the woman with a firm expression, "If you go in now, you will be her savior. She will only be loyal to you."
Lin Keying pushed open the door and looked around but didn't see anyone except the tall and burly bodyguard, until a groan of pain attracted her attention.
Only then did she notice that in the quiet and dim room there was a young woman with an abdominal injury.
The woman had her hair cut into a flat top, with each strand clearly visible. She looked rather thin, but her exposed arms and calves revealed well-defined muscles.
The white T-shirt turned bright red and blood gushed out.
Lin Keying caught a glimpse of the pale but alert woman lying on the table and was startled: "Are you okay? Hang on, Doctor He, please check on her."
In a moment, she had already forgotten about choosing a bodyguard. Lin Keying felt a little uncomfortable seeing the young woman injured.
The woman's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, her lips were pale, and she was enduring the pain: "Thank you for saving me."
As soon as the door opened, Yang Minghui glanced at Doctor He who was bandaging his wound and said calmly: "Sheng Tielan, Xinyi Club suffered heavy damage. Thanks to Miss Lin for saving your life. You will follow Miss Lin from now on."
Lin Keying was stunned. Is this the bodyguard chosen for her? !
After Dr. He bandaged her wound, the woman named Sheng Tielan was about to kneel down in front of Lin Keying.
The most important thing to be in a gang is loyalty. Sheng Tielan endured the pain from her wound and said, "Miss Lin, if you need me, feel free to tell me."
Lin Keying had never seen a real gang, and was still surprised when she and Cheng Wanting got back into the Hutouben.
Yang Minghui, who was sitting in the passenger seat, introduced to Lin Keying: "Sheng Tielan was abandoned by her family when she was young. She grew up on the streets. Later, she joined the New Justice Society to repay the favor of the New Justice Society boss. She is very capable in a gang that is almost entirely made up of men. She is good at fighting and thoughtful. However, she is cold-hearted and stubborn. When the New Justice Society boss gave her a bowl of rice, she only recognized this boss. No one else can help her."
Such a person perfectly meets the eldest young master's goal of selecting a bodyguard for his wife. Yang Minghui submitted a long list of names that were rejected again and again, until he set his eyes on Sheng Tielan, which was then approved by the eldest young master.
"So this time..." Lin Keying roughly understood the whole story.
"The Xinyi Society and Sanhetang have had a long-standing grudge, and today's gang fight is inevitable. It was a real fight with real swords and guns. It's just that the Xinyi Society is not as strong as the Sanhetang." Yang Minghui explained patiently, "The leader of the Xinyi Society has died, and Sheng Tielan almost died while covering the leader's escape. If the young master hadn't arranged for someone to help secretly in advance, she would not be able to be your bodyguard now, and would have met her death."
Gang fights are all fought with bayonets. Lin Keying, who had suffered quite a bit of impact today, slowly looked at the man next to her.
"You didn't just randomly assign me a well-trained bodyguard because you investigated and selected this woman from the gang?" Lin Keying gradually figured out the whole story. "And because I was worried that the bodyguard would listen to you and was your person, so you asked me to show up in person and be her savior?"
Cheng Wanting nodded slightly.
Lin Keying:!
The boss is so far-sighted when arranging a bodyguard!
"But didn't you say before that we shouldn't interfere in gang fights? If Sanhetang knew that you saved someone from Xinyihui, would we be in trouble?" Lin Keying couldn't help but worry. No matter how powerful one is, it is always bad to make enemies.
Cheng Wanting did not answer the question, but looked at the woman with burning eyes: "Are you satisfied with the bodyguard now?"
Thinking of the man's efforts, Lin Keying felt like her heart was scratched. How could she not be satisfied? She nodded.
The man looked calm, his deep eyes reflecting his own figure: "As long as you are satisfied, that's enough."
A deep voice swept past Lin Keying's ears. It was a simple sentence, but it was accompanied by a slight tremor that made her heart flutter.
Sheng Tielan is young and in excellent physical condition. Her wounds recovered quickly. The day before she took office as Lin Keying's bodyguard, she secretly went to the Happy Valley Cemetery to purchase a grave for the deceased leader of the New Yihui to rest in peace.
Lin Keying couldn't help but be shocked by Cheng Wanting's accurate vision. He picked Sheng Tielan, who was taciturn and made it impossible for people to detect her presence, and did not make Lin Keying feel uncomfortable at all that she was being monitored. But whenever she encountered danger on the street, such as being approached by a short-sighted gangster, Sheng Tielan would suddenly appear like a ghost. Not to mention, this person had first-class fighting skills, which she had earned through fighting in the gang. She was agile and gave people a sense of security.
Moreover, this person is very stubborn and only cares about protecting the safety of his savior. He won't listen to anyone else.
Lin Keying gradually accepted the fact that she had a personal bodyguard in the overall chaotic Hong Kong City, and privately asked Secretary Yang: "Secretary Yang, the last time your eldest master intervened in the gang fight, was there no big problem?"
Yang Minghui knew that the eldest young master never liked to have things around him leaked, but this time, he bravely responded: "Madam, it is still a bit troublesome. After all, the eldest young master did take away the capable men of the Xinyihui boss, and Sanhetang is clamoring to see the person alive or dead. Sanhetang is quite dissatisfied and thinks that the eldest young master's interference is immoral. The eldest young master will have to spend some time to deal with this matter."
Lin Keying frowned her beautiful slender eyebrows: "You're not going to fight, are you?!"
——
After returning to the company, Yang Minghui accompanied Cheng Wanting to attend the Hong Kong British government's new year's land planning conference. The competition for land acquisition was fierce every year. Especially this year, the largest amount of uncultivated land in Hong Kong will flow out, and major real estate companies are gearing up and will not miss the good opportunity to divide up the land.
In fact, this time is very likely to be an important node that determines the division of real estate power in Hong Kong in the next ten years.
Despite the fierce competition, the best land is often not released and falls directly into the hands of British capital at a low price. The second-tier land is competed for by various wealthy businessmen through auctions.
Local businessmen in Hong Kong have long complained about this. The CEOs of various companies were as calm as a rock and sarcastically said, "I think the Lands Department should just pack up all the land and hand it over to the British companies. What should they leave for us?"
"Boss Wang, what you said is wrong. Renyingzi also spent money to buy the land, but the price is four or five times lower than ours."
This time, however, Liu Zhigao, the CEO of Tianxing Real Estate, Huanyu’s old rival, changed his previous anger and fully cooperated with the Hong Kong British government’s plan.
“It has been the same in previous years. There is no need for everyone to make too many comments. Let’s just listen to the arrangements made by the Lands Department.”
As soon as Liu Zhigao spoke, several other real estate company CEOs who were closely connected with Tianxing Real Estate echoed him.
The other real estate company bosses couldn't help but frown in surprise when they heard what Liu Zhigao, who had been the most dissatisfied with this arrangement, said.
Cheng Wanting, who was sitting in the middle of the field, did not participate in this topic.
After the meeting, Liu Zhigao had a cordial conversation with William and other British businessmen, shook hands and chatted happily. When he turned around and saw Cheng Wanting who was about to stand up, his smile became even bigger.
"Boss Cheng." Liu Zhigao walked up to Cheng Wanting with an unlit cigar in his mouth, looking determined to win. "When the land auction comes, don't blame me for not letting you go."
Behind him are British businessmen who have joined forces with four other powerful real estate companies.
They came in groups, each one was tall and looked menacing.
In contrast, Cheng Wanting only had a secretary by his side, but he was wearing a black windbreaker, was tall and straight, and he exuded the momentum of thousands of troops.
"Boss Liu, let's wait and see." Cheng Wanting smiled slightly, "Be careful not to get too close or you'll get swallowed up."
Liu Zhigao looked at his old rival's arrogant back as he left with disdain. He had already formed a group with British businessmen and four major real estate companies. When the time comes, he will first encircle Huanyu and see how Cheng Wanting can compete!
Cheng Wanting stepped onto the black carpet in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce with his shiny black leather shoes. He took off his windbreaker and put it aside, then listened to Yang Minghui's worried voice.
"Master, Liu Zhigao seems to be coming with great momentum, and he has formed an alliance with British merchants and four real estate companies. If they unite, they will definitely target us first."
After banding together, they will definitely deal with the most threatening tiger first, and Huanyu will be the first to bear the brunt.
Cheng Wanting could not deny it: "We'll see when the time comes."
Yang Minghui had 100% faith in the young master, but now he couldn't help but worry. The young master didn't seem to panic at all, which made him even more tormented.
After returning to Huanyu, Cheng Wanting went straight to the conference room to discuss the strategy for dividing the Hong Kong city land in the crucial year with several confidants. Yang Minghui was informed by Huanyu employees that someone was looking for him downstairs.
The business world is like a battlefield, with constant changes. Cheng Wanting returned to the office after a meeting with several of his confidants. The clouds and mist shone through the giant glass curtain wall, draping a black suit over the man's eyebrows and eyes. Light and shadow intertwined, with half of his body in light and half in darkness.
After finalizing the arrangements for the next few days, Cheng Wanting saw that Yang Minghui seemed to be hesitant to speak, so he tapped the table with his fingertips: "What's the matter?"
Yang Minghui was startled and hurriedly reported: "Master, I acted on my own this morning."
The man's brows were hard: "What do you mean by your own will?"
"This morning my wife asked me about the incident that happened when Sheng Tielan was rescued from the Xinyi Society to be his bodyguard. Will you be in trouble and be sought after by the Sanhetang for revenge?" Yang Minghui looked a little cautious.
"What did you tell your wife?"
"I said there are some troubles." Yang Minghui knew that the young master never disclosed any problems to anyone, and he never complained to the Cheng family. He always endured all the hard work by himself. But how could he keep silent after doing something for the woman he loved? The young master didn't say anything, so he said, "Young master, I acted on my own."
"You talk a lot." Cheng Wanting frowned slightly.
Yang Minghui: “…”
"However, my wife just came over specially to bring you some ginseng soup. She originally wanted to wait to see you, but she left when she learned that you were in a meeting."
Cheng Wanting stared at the soup bucket on the coffee table. The setting sun was like molten gold, shining into his cold and hard eyes, making them seem a little softer.
"I've been doing well recently, so my bonus will be doubled this month."
Yang Minghui: "...! Thank you, Master!"
——
It was dark when Cheng Wanting returned home from the Peninsula Hotel. It was immoral to intervene in gang fights rashly. Cheng Wanting always knew how to distinguish between friends and foes. When faced with the leader of Sanhetang who came to question him, he had a drink with him in the hotel to resolve misunderstandings and even gave in in some turf disputes to show his sincerity.
Yang Minghui saw it all and could only sigh that the young master had gone to such lengths to find a bodyguard that suits his wife. It was really painstaking.
It was not until late at night when Cheng Wanting returned home smelling slightly of alcohol that the dim light from the living room filled the room.
The woman sleeping on the sofa seemed to be covered with a layer of light.
Lin Keying was waiting for her man to come home. As she waited, she felt sleepy and fell asleep on the sofa. The hem of her pure white nightgown spread out, like a blooming jasmine. Her sleeping face was quiet and well-behaved.
The man in the black shirt took off his neat black suit and leaned over to hold the woman in his arms. Cheng Wanting's movements were so light that he felt there was not much weight in his hands. The woman lay horizontally in his arms with her legs bent and her white feet hanging naturally. Her slender arms swayed slightly as the man walked up the stairs.
She opened her eyes hazily and felt her surroundings swaying slightly. Through her sleepy eyes, Lin Keying caught a glimpse of the man's strong jawline.
"You're back?" She sniffed the man and smelled alcohol. Lin Keying raised her hand and touched his waist and abdomen. "I heard that Sanhetang is not easy to deal with. You rescued Sheng Tielan, so they are causing trouble for you? There wasn't a fight, were you injured?"
The man paused as his black leather shoes landed on the stairs, lowering his eyebrows and staring: "Worried about me?"
Lin Keying was held safely and easily by the man, she raised her head and looked straight into his deep eyes.
The narrow and long phoenix eye is deep, but not as calm as the ancient well in the past, and gradually it is lit up.
The man leaned down and rested his forehead on Lin Keying's brow: "Are we now better than you were in those two years when you were a child?"
Lin Keying was stunned for a moment, then she understood. Her almond eyes curved into crescents, she put her arms around the man's neck, and bit his slightly cold lips: "Who would be jealous of someone they were when they were little!"
The man was just being mysterious, so Lin Keying pressed him, "Has the matter at Sanhetang been resolved? Tell me quickly, there was no fighting, and no one was injured, right?"
Holding the woman tightly in his arms, he returned to the house, put her on the bed, and began to unbutton his clothes without saying a word.
Lin Keying fell on the bed: "What are you doing?"
The man, whose shirt was slightly open, revealing his distinct abdominal muscles, said seriously, "Aren't you worried about whether I'm injured? Check it yourself."
Lin Keying hurriedly turned over and tried to escape, but the man grabbed her ankle to restrict her movement and forced her hand to touch himself.
"Check carefully. Aren't you worried about me?"
All night long, Lin Keying was forced by the man to have her body checked from inside to outside.
He is full of energy and has terrifying physical strength.
Lin Keying doesn't want to worry anymore!
——
In early February, it had been more than 20 days since Lin Keying received a call from the Cheng family's old house. She lived her life leisurely until the Chinese New Year, when she returned home with Cheng Wanting.
It was the first time that she hadn’t been back to her father-in-law’s house for such a long time. Sitting in the car, Lin Keying murmured to her husband, “You’ve made Dad unhappy. Will we be kicked out if we go back today?”
Cheng Wanting didn't care: "That's perfect, we're celebrating the New Year by ourselves and don't bother with him."
Lin Keying: "..."
What a loving father and filial son.
For people in Hong Kong, the most important day of the year is the Spring Festival.
No matter how complicated Cheng Guanjie's mood was, he couldn't possibly drive his son and daughter-in-law away on that day.
The whole family had a meal to celebrate at the Cheng family's old house. The servants had already arranged the festive Spring Festival atmosphere early, with lights and decorations, big red lanterns hung high, and spring couplets posted on the door, making everything auspicious.
At the dinner table, Cheng Min chatted and laughed with her sister-in-law. Second sister-in-law Zhou Keer and Wenwen joined in from time to time. Only the others ate quietly and spoke only when they raised their glasses to celebrate.
In the past, Cheng Wanting, who was upright and capable of making plans, was admired by everyone. But now, knowing his secret, the way several people looked at him changed a little.
Cheng Guanjie looked at his son from time to time. Every time he saw him attentively picking up food and peeling shrimps for his daughter-in-law, he would stop looking at him. He wondered who he learned this from and how he could be so nonchalant.
Am I the only one who feels guilty and ashamed? He acted like nothing happened!
Fu Yuehong and Zhong Qianlian were in awe of the eldest wife's son, so even though they knew the truth, they did not dare to say anything. They were especially shocked to see Cheng Wanting remained calm, and instead felt a little pity for Lin Keying.
As for Cheng Zhihao, his eyes were full of fire when he looked at his eldest brother. He really wanted to tell his eldest brother that he didn't have to worry about Chen Songxian, and that he would help protect his eldest brother's marriage!
I will never let Chen Songxian destroy it!
The festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival infects everyone, and such a moment of reunion also makes Lin Keying feel emotional.
I didn't expect that I would travel through time and space and be able to have a family reunion dinner together.
When talking with Cheng Min about the customs of celebrating the New Year when he was a child, Cheng Min talked about the past when he was held by his father and directed by his mother to paste Spring Festival couplets on the wall.
Lin Keying couldn't help but get excited when recalling her childhood: "Amin, do you still remember what happened in mainland China when you were a kid?"
"Ah?" Cheng Min was stunned when he heard that he had been to the mainland when he was a child. His mother was from the mainland, but she came to Hong Kong City by chance when she was very young. He was born and raised in Hong Kong City and had never been to the mainland.
Lin Keying ate the oysters in the pot and muttered, "I thought you were young when your family came to Hong Kong City and you didn't remember anything."
"I remember, I remember." Fu Yuehong quickly held down the surprised Cheng Min and smiled reluctantly, "I came from the mainland."
Lin Keying picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth: "Auntie Hong, your mainland accent is almost gone, you speak Cantonese well."
Zhou Ke'er was confused. Her husband's family actually came to Hong Kong from the mainland more than ten years ago?
I have been married to Cheng Zhihao for several years, how come I have never heard of it? !
Or did I lose my memory?
Fu Yuehong was a little overwhelmed and asked for support from the third wife, Zhong Qianlian. However, Zhong Qianlian, who was usually gentle and easy-going, was not good at lying. She could only avoid the sight of the second wife, lower her head silently and pretend not to see it.
Fu Yuehong looked at the master Cheng Guanjie again, but saw that the master pursed his lips tightly, obviously feeling guilty and unhappy.
But the man who should be anxious and panicking at this moment is the most relaxed.
Cheng Wanting even took the time to put an abalone into Lin Keying's bowl, looking relaxed and at ease.
"Ahem, let's not talk about the past." Cheng Guanjie could no longer bear it and could only bite the bullet and say, "They weren't very good memories either."
Lin Keying understood that her fiancé's family had fled from the mainland to Hong Kong, so it was normal that they didn't want to talk about it again, so she didn't take it too seriously.
During a meal, some people eat to their satisfaction, some eat until they are sweating, and some eat at a leisurely pace.
After dinner, Cheng Min met Fu Yuehong in the corridor on the second floor and couldn't help asking, "Auntie Hong, what's going on? How did our family come to Hong Kong from the mainland?"
Fu Yuehong was hesitant and unable to answer. The master had reminded her not to spread the family's dirty laundry to anyone, even to Cheng Min and Zhou Ke'er who were still unaware of the situation. Amin in particular has a gentle temperament and is the worst at lying.
The more people know, the more guilty they feel.
Cheng Guanjie and Cheng Zhihao went upstairs and heard Cheng Min's question. Cheng Guanjie had a stern face, thinking that working so hard for his eldest son's ridiculous affairs was even harder than building his empire in the past.
In the end, it was Cheng Zhihao who fooled his sister: "Amin, you were only two or three years old at that time. It's normal that you don't remember it."
Cheng Min fell into self-doubt. Could it be that he had really forgotten things from his childhood?
So our family is from the mainland? !
This is the first time Cheng Min has heard of this in his seventeen years of life!
++++
The Spring Festival is a joyous occasion. The custom in the Cheng family is to go to a restaurant for afternoon tea after the reunion dinner, and walk around the streets and chat with old friends.
But before leaving, Cheng Guanjie called his eldest son to the study and flew into a rage: "Cheng Wanting, you did such an immoral thing, I have no choice but to help you cover it up. Not only me, but also your Aunt Hong, Aunt Lian, and Zhihao. We have put in a lot of effort, but you are just a hands-off boss!"
The person who shamelessly pretended to be the cousin and stole his cousin's fiancée turned out to be the least anxious one. How can he be justified?
Cheng Guanjie was furious!
"Master, don't get yourself hurt by being angry."
"Dad, calm down."
In the study, all the insiders of the Cheng family gathered and tried to ease the relationship between father and son.
However, Cheng Wanting said confidently: "I took over Huanyu and worked hard day and night to develop Huanyu to this day. You just enjoy the good life in the Cheng family. Now, shouldn't you share my burden?"
The four members of the Cheng family: “..?”
Cheng Wanting left in a leisurely manner, leaving Fu Yuehong and Zhong Qianlian unable to refute. Cheng Zhihao thought about it carefully and felt that what his elder brother said made sense. He could not contribute much to the business, and he had eaten so much of his elder brother's food, so he should share the burden with him.
Only Cheng Guanjie was furious: "Is this human language?!"
In the afternoon, the family gathered themselves and set off. Three luxury cars slowly drove out of the Deep Water Bay Villa and stopped in front of Li's Restaurant, the most prosperous restaurant in Hong Kong.
After Cheng Guanjie started his own business from scratch, he loved to drink tea and reminisce about the past with his group of hard-working brothers at Li Ji Restaurant, and this is no exception even today.
"Hey, Brother Guanjie, Wan Ting, your family is here. Please come in. The private room reserved for your family has been prepared." The owner of Li's Restaurant has a good personal relationship with Cheng Guanjie and was busy greeting everyone.
Lin Keying and her sister-in-law walked in hand in hand with the Cheng family. Just as they reached the door, they heard a voice of New Year's greetings behind them.
"Brother Guanjie, Wan Ting, Happy New Year! You just arrived too!" Chen Huagao's eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly asked his family to follow him, "Dad, Huashan, it's Guanjie's family."
