"Old Chen, where's Wenxiang?" Yao Yong asked, noticing Chen Mingxian staring at his two sons.
He had heard that Chen Mingxian had brought Chen Wenxiang out to broaden his horizons, and he assumed that Chen Mingxian would bring someone along like the others, but...
He looked left and right but couldn't see Chen Wenxiang; he only saw his close confidants, Qiu Yuan, and others.
Everyone knows that Chen Mingxian dotes on Chen Wenxiang and has even considered passing the position to him.
This is a great opportunity for experience and for the next successors to get to know each other. Chen Mingxian has no reason to miss it.
Could it be that something happened to Chen Wenxiang?
Yao Yong thought to himself.
His question also had a testing connotation.
“Wenxiang said he wanted to study abroad. My son loves learning, and as his father, I couldn’t stop him, so I let him go,” Chen Mingxian said simply, while Qiu Yuan, standing to the side, watched his eldest son’s expression.
Their eldest son is really something; even when you hit his sore spot, he can still answer the other person's questions without batting an eye.
Yao Yong really lacked common sense, even asking about Chen Wenxiang.
Nowadays, Chen Mingxian will get angry if you say even the word "Wen" or "Xiang," let alone the three characters "Chen Wenxiang."
They now have to think twice before they speak, whether those two words are in a sentence or not, and they can't even say the three words "Wang Bingling". They can only say "that bitch".
"I didn't expect Wenxiang to still have such a love for learning. Xiaolin, you should learn from your brother Wenxiang," Yao Yong teased, exchanging a glance with Yuansheng.
Based on Chen Mingxian's words alone, they could tell that Chen Wenxiang was in trouble.
If he said this to people who were not familiar with Chen Wenxiang, they might believe him. But although the families didn't see each other often, they knew everything about what happened in each other's families.
Chen Wenxiang said he wanted to study abroad?
Huh? Someone like him would never voluntarily offer to study.
He's simply not cut out for studying.
If so, they wouldn't have returned to China after studying abroad for only half a year.
So Chen Mingxian is lying. It's possible that something happened to Chen Wenxiang, but Chen Mingxian doesn't want them to know.
Yao Yong and Yuan Sheng immediately understood, but did not expose it.
They've been busy with the Dragon Head Association lately, and since this isn't their territory, they've been somewhat negligent in monitoring other families.
After the Dragon Head Meeting concludes, have someone investigate Chen Wenxiang's case.
The more Chen Mingxian tried to hide and cover it up, the more they wanted to know what was going on.
“Dad, I’m past the age of studying. I can’t concentrate on reading now,” Yao Lin replied.
Furthermore, he believed pigs could climb trees, and he didn't believe Chen Wenxiang would voluntarily suggest studying abroad.
Chen Mingxian doesn't even bother to write a draft when he speaks; he's too lazy to even pretend anymore.
“You, you.” Yao Yong shook his head.
Other people's children are already successful in their twenties or have become business prodigies. His son Yao Qi is doing alright, but his youngest son...
Well, it's a long story.
In his early twenties, he would ask if the milk in the refrigerator was safe to drink, and he would say childish things when arguing with others.
If it weren't for his decent marksmanship and intelligence, he would probably think Yao Lin was an idiot.
He was proud to have such good sons in public, but in private, he genuinely felt that many of the things Yao Lin did were not what a young man in his twenties should do.
"Dad, there's no use in sighing. You've already given birth to me, you can't put me back in," Yao Lin comforted him, as if he knew what Yao Yong meant by that sigh.
"You..." Yao Yong was so angry at Yao Lin that he almost vomited blood.
"Uncle, please accept my condolences." Yuan Shuyan said.
It's not Yao Yong's fault that he had such a mentally challenged child; it's just a genetic mutation.
"Xiao Yan," Yuan Sheng called out, and Yuan Shuyan fell silent.
"Haha, it seems your daily life is quite exciting, Lao Yao," Chen Mingxian joked, secretly feeling incredibly jealous and envious of Yao Yong for having two sons.
"We're all waiting here, but where is the leader of the Dragon Head Association?" Chen Mingxian changed the subject.
They've been sitting here for quite a while, but Jiang Ningyuan hasn't shown himself yet.
"Could it be that I'm nervous because it's my first time attending the Dragon Head Meeting?" Chen Mingxian asked himself.
Yao Yong and Yuan Sheng remained silent.
Is Ning Yuan stage-frightened?
Based on how he looked when he last saw him, he felt that Ning Yuan couldn't wait for the Dragon Head Meeting to start.
Stage fright? Not at all!
"Sorry to keep you all waiting." Ning Yuan's voice rang out from behind Chen Mingxian.
Everyone looked up in unison, heading in the direction of the sound.
Ning Yuan strode to sit on the table, while Cheng Yue stood behind him.
Compared to other gangs, Ning Yuan led the fewest people.
Chen Mingxian brought five people with him; one followed behind him, while the other four waited on the yacht deck.
Yuan Sheng brought six people with him: Yuan Shuyan, a nanny to take care of him, and four subordinates.
Yao Yong kept things simple, only bringing his two sons and a bodyguard.
"I took care of some things on the way here, so I'm late."
"But it's not time for the Dragon Head Meeting to start yet, so I'm not considered late."
Ning Yuan crossed his arms and said casually.
His dark eyes showed no sign of pressure or tension when he looked at everyone present.
After glancing at Yao Yong and Yuan Sheng, Ning Yuan's gaze fell on Chen Mingxian.
At the same time, Chen Mingxian was also looking at him.
Chen Mingxian narrowed his eyes, a ruthless glint flashing in them, while at the same time he was somewhat surprised by Jiang Ningyuan's composure.
He had only spoken a few words on the phone before, but after meeting the person in person, he felt a sense of oppression emanating from the other person, an oppressive feeling even stronger than his own.
