He Peiyu took a step back, "Are you going to force me to seduce the child, regardless of my safety?"

"No." Chen Chongzhou looked at her, "You are the one who disregarded your own safety."

She was inexplicably excited, and exposed his intentions, "Second brother, what you care about is Fu Cheng, you don't want to bear the stain of me remarrying and having a child, and you can't hold your head up in the board of directors."

He couldn't help laughing, and said coldly, "Mother, you are about to die, what's wrong with me? I'm not filial enough to take care of your food and clothing."

He Peiyu leaned on the screen frame and watched him disappear down the stairs.

The nanny supported her, "Ma'am, the second son has some difficulties. After all, he is in the Chen family and runs the property with the chairman. You gave birth to another man's child, and the outside world pointed him out. How could he have the face to be in charge of Fucheng? He needs Chen." As the second son of the family, you, as his mother, cannot have impurities."

"Sister Jiang, do you believe it?" He Peiyu staggered weakly, "If one day, I drag him too much, he will deny me as a mother for self-protection and reputation."

"Ma'am! What nonsense are you talking about? Second Young Master is not like that."

"One day, I don't blame him." She sat blankly with empty eyes, "I'm not as good as Jiang Rong. Jiang Rong's natal family is rich and powerful, and I can give Chen Yuan confidence. Going forward alone, even if you don’t recognize me.”

Chen Chongzhou returned to the study with a gloomy expression on his face. He glanced at Xue Yan who was packing up the files, pulled off his tie, and walked to the balcony without saying a word, overlooking the courtyard.

At that time, a woman came out of the bungalow next door, her hair was still in a bun, her temperament was gentle and virtuous, her snow-white neck reflected a light pink halo in the sun, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were also charming.

She held the boy in one hand and carried the bag in the other, "Where does Longlong like to go?"

"like to play."

The woman smiled, "Longlong wants to curry favor with that Uncle Chen. He allows Longlong to play, so you can play."

The boy was downcast, "Uncle Chen is handsome, but he is too fierce."

She knelt down and stroked the boy's head, "Uncle Chen has never been angry with Longlong."

"Father is not fierce."

The woman's smile gradually subsided, "Will Longlong have to choose one? Choose father or mother."

Longlong was not happy, "I choose my parents and my sister, I want both."

She did not speak for a long time.

Chen Chongzhou looked at this scene, and he could see the hesitation and deep unwillingness on the woman's face at a glance.

Unwilling to be submerged silently in a foreign country, unwilling to commit the rest of her life to a man who had no choice but to be married, to be bound by this erroneous marriage, and to lose her chance forever.

Xue Yan's gaze also fixed on that place, "It seems that Miss Qiao has not given up, and it is not easy to control."

Chen Chongzhou was expressionless, "Qi Shang loves her regardless of the past, she is not a woman with a hard heart. Besides, she may not be willing to give up her children,"

He went around the desk and tore off the film of the cigarette pack, "Don't underestimate the lethality of old love, the regret of not being able to love is very torturous."

"The eldest son is unmarried." Xue Yan pressed down on the lighter, "It gave her a chance to rekindle her old relationship."

"The men of the Chen family are decisive in killing and attacking in the mall, but they have one fatal weakness: they are self-contradictory, and they have long-term love when they are thin. Time has passed, and the deep-rooted love at the beginning is different. How can I bear it?"

"Defeating an impeccable enemy, destroying his mind, controlling his emotions, causing him to worry about gains and losses, shocking and collapsing, the effect is twice the result with half the effort." Xue Yan couldn't help feeling, "Miss Qiao has been missing for nine years, and Chen Yuan only treats her as a handful. The ashes reappeared, what a wonderful episode. Her tragedies in the past may have caused the father and son to fight against each other, and the family civil strife. How much lethality a drop of pitiful tears has depends on how much weight a woman has in a man's heart. "

Chen Chongzhou held a cigarette in his mouth, staring at the slowly evaporating green mist, "I am not Chen Yuan's opponent in a serious business struggle. He is not my opponent in human nature's intrigue. To win a game, it is natural to use your advantages and make use of your strengths to avoid weaknesses."

Xue Yan put down the window screen that shaded the sun, "Miss Qiao is weak and sees you as a benefactor. It is not difficult to control her, but I am more worried about Qi Shang's restlessness."

"Qi Shang dare not disobey orders." Chen Chongzhou leaned back and leaned on the back of his chair, "Qi Shang's grandfather, Qi Cheng, was addicted to gambling. He owed gambling debts 30 years ago and was very poor. The Chen family found out the details and broke up Chen Zhiyun and Qi Cheng." Qin. Qi Cheng planned to blackmail her, but the Chen family had a strong background, so he couldn't get anything cheap. However, Qi Qin is a well-known beauty in the local area, and there are countless nouveau riche who want to marry her. Not long after Chen Zhiyun and Qi Qin separated, Qi Cheng hurriedly married her Marrying a widowed coal boss filled the hole of gambling debts. It's a pity that she was not entrusted to her husband and abandoned her."

Xue Yan suddenly realized, "Qi Shang is actually the son of the coal boss. Qi Cheng lied to Chen Zhiyun. Qi Qin had dystocia and died. Chen Zhiyun felt ashamed of her. In addition, Qi Shang was born prematurely at seven months, and Qi Qin and Chen Zhiyun broke up for two days. She was pregnant in a month later, and her birthday coincided with her pregnancy in October, Chen Zhiyun firmly believed that Qi Shang was her blood."

"Qi Shang doesn't look like him at all, but he looks like Qi Qin, so he never doubted it." Chen Chongzhou rubbed the ashtray, "Who do you think Qi Shang hates?"

"If it weren't for Mr. Chen's club to beat mandarin ducks, Qi Qin would already be Mrs. Chen. How could she be so beautiful?"

"You missed Chen Yuan."

Xue Yan didn't understand, "Chen Yuan?"

Chen Chongzhou smiled, "In the financial crisis that swept across the province in 08, Chen Yuan defeated six listed groups in one year. Among them, the Hanqi Group, which is engaged in building materials business, suffered losses due to Chen Yuan's economic siege. The group is on the verge of bankruptcy, so it has no choice but to put all its eggs in one basket and add another 40 billion in commercial loans to compete with Fucheng."

"I have the impression that Chen Yuan became famous in the business world through this siege."

"You don't know the inside story." Chen Chongzhou smoked a cigarette in his mouth, his eyebrows were swallowed, and he became more and more unpredictable, "Chen Yuan didn't kill the Han Qi Group. The reason why Chen Ling admired him was because of his benevolence and righteousness." When no profiteering and no business become a default rule, Chen Zheng’s view of his compassion for the prey is absurd, it is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain, and there will be endless troubles.”

Xue Yan gasped, "It is rumored that the boss of Hanqi Group jumped to his death due to excessive debt."

He dusted off the ashes, "Enterprise bankruptcy, high-leverage speculation, and 127 billion in debt. All colleagues believe that Chen Yuan set up a scheme to induce Han Qi's boss to borrow money, and finally killed himself. He is indeed extraordinary and good at planning. When Han Qi collapsed, he The early deployment contributed a lot, but it is Chen Zheng who is really ruthless."

Chen Chongzhou stood up, "Chen Yuan left a way for the boss of Hanqi. If the other party stopped in time, at least tens of millions of assets would be preserved. However, Chen Zheng was on guard against the resurgence of Hanqi. Chen Yuan launched a business war and offended more than six major groups. There are dozens of companies with overlapping capitals, and Chen Zheng killed chickens to make an example of monkeys, forcing the boss of Hanqi to have nowhere to go, and only after one hundred and one hundred can wipe off the debts behind him, Fucheng also got his wish, and used Hanqi's tragedy to frighten them."

Xue Yan faintly thought of the answer, "That Boss Han Qi..."

He tilted his head and smiled meaningfully, "It's Qi Shang's biological father, He Xiaojun. In 91, private coal mines were strictly investigated, and the coal mine under his name was banned. He started building materials business and made his fortune in Longnan. He approached Qi Shang, but Qi Cheng Fearing that the lies back then would be exposed and Chen Zhiyun would retaliate, he refused to let Qi Cheng and He Xiaojun recognize each other."

A long piece of soot broke between his fingers, "Do you think Qi Shang hates Chen Yuan?"

Xue Yanquan understood, "Qi Shang is your most critical pawn, which aroused mutual suspicion between Chen Zhiyun and Chen Yuan, and internal strife broke out. Chen Yuan suspected that Chen Zhiyun used Ms. Qiao to beat him, felt sorry for her marrying the incompetent Qi Shang, and hated Chen Zhiyun Chen Zhiyun suspected that Chen Yuan would deliberately part with Ms. Qiao, seduce and persecute his only son, and the two sides broke each other in public." He was really surprised, "You spent nine years planning."

Chen Chongzhou wore his watch calmly, "Even though Chen Ling intervenes, Chen Zhiyun can't fall. It's just a business violation. At best, he will be fined a huge sum of money. But if I report him, will he let me go when he comes out?" In the front, they fought to the detriment of both sides, and I will close the net again." He laughed, "Didn't Chen Yuan empathize with Shen Zhen? How many sufferings and expectations did Qiao Hanrun have before returning to China? Hate."

"Then you won't argue with Miss Shen?"

Chen Chongzhou glanced at her with a fierce look, "Didn't you see her attitude clearly?"

Xue Yan suppressed a smile, "I see clearly."

He stubbed out the cigarette butt, went to the cloakroom, and changed into a brand new business shirt, "I'm getting more and more eloquent, and I got used to her temper."

"I saw Miss Shen put away the bouquet of flowers from the rearview mirror." Xue Yan cleared his throat, "She has a strong temper, which is due to you. As long as you take care of Chen Zhiyun and Ni Ying and avenge her, Miss Shen will Forgive you."

"Is she collecting flowers?" Chen Chongzhou said in an irritable tone, "She is collecting the housebook."

Xue Yan explained, "The house book is sandwiched in the center of the bouquet, just pick it off, and Ms. Shen holds it in her arms together, isn't it just to accept it?"

"It's free, of course she's willing to take it." Although she was annoyed, there was a faint smile on her face.

***

Chen Yuan finished the signing ceremony of a single project at the Yanjing Hotel, drove across the Binjiang Bridge, and met Liang Zewen at the intersection of Lingyuan International.

Yang Ji pulled over, and the car also parked.

Liang Zewen went straight to the back seat, "Chen Dong, have you had lunch yet?"

Chen Yuan lowered the window, "There are too many official duties, and I haven't had time yet."

"Coincidentally." Liang Zewen pointed in the direction of the second-phase villa, "My mother-in-law lives in Building 5." He gestured, "Mr. Chen, it's better to hit the sun than choose a date. Let's have a drink today and wish our cooperation success."

Chen Yuan politely refused, "Since it is Mrs. Liang's natal family, I don't take the liberty to visit."

Liang Zewen was very kind, "My mother-in-law passed away, and my wife came back to live occasionally. There is a chef of Huaiyang cuisine at home. I know that Mr. Chen has a light taste, which is definitely to your liking." He approached mysteriously, "Xiao Shen told me of--"

"Oh?" Chen Yuan was unexpected, "She told Liang Dong?"

Liang Zewen blinked, "I asked her about your hobbies, and she actually knows everything about it, so it's obvious that you take it to heart."

He pursed his lips, as if talking to himself, "Really."

"Chen Dong looks handsome, which woman is not fascinated?" Liang Zewen pulled the car door, Chen Yuan was absent-minded and did not refuse.

"To tell the truth, Mr. Chen, I have always had good eyesight. Xiao Shen seems to be different from those women who throw themselves into my arms."

Chen Yuan straightened his formal suit, and there was a fine speck of dust on the sleeves, "To capture a woman with all your strength and effort, the second method is more enjoyable."

Liang Zewen laughed loudly, "Mr. Chen has stamina. If it were me, I would rather be able to catch it with my hands than spend my time. There are beautiful girls everywhere, so why waste it on one woman."

Chen Yuan also laughed, "Whether you have patience depends on what kind of woman you are, and whether it is worth my trouble."

"Then Xiao Shen must have some unknown strengths?"

Chen Yuan didn't respond, and followed Liang Zewen through the cinnamon-colored high wall. The sleet that lasted for a day and night dripped and dripped on the top of the wall. When he turned the corner, he turned his head inadvertently, and the two courtyard doors barely covered the woman's body. Just passed by.

A thick fence separates the inside from the outside, plum blossoms climb the wall and bloom, a white pistil falls in her braid, she shakes it off with her hand, and the corner of the eye does not inadvertently pass the building of Lingyuan International Phase II, the diamond-shaped gray eaves, the brocade clusters between corrugated The flower ball also blocked Chen Yuan.

Only ten meters away, the pure white suit and the white plum are scattered, indistinguishable, vaguely showing a tall silhouette.

Longlong tugged on the sleeve of his coat, "Mom, I want to go swimming. I haven't swam for many days."

The woman withdrew her gaze and pinched his chin, "OK."

With an imperceptible word, Chen Yuan's pace suddenly froze, and he turned sideways immediately. The tassels on the woman's scarf floated over the edge of the wall, flung in the wind, and disappeared without a trace.

Chen Yuan only saw that the narrow alley was empty without any trace, and the moment he left, he accidentally found Chen Chongzhou's car.

Stopped under a withered jujube tree at the gate of Building 2.

He squinted slightly.

Building 2 seemed particularly quiet at this time, with the warm afternoon light shining on the windows, the glass was closed tightly, and lotus purple velvet nightdresses were drying on the balcony.

In recent years, Jiang Rong has kept a close eye on the second wife, and he has also been on guard.

Therefore, he knows the temperament of the second child.

It's not a drunken fanboy who lingers in the flowers, that circle includes Zheng Yeyi's name, the tricks in the love scene are very moderate, and he is not stingy in spending money.

It's not like the old and young powerful children of the Zhou family and the Jiang family who poke around and commit crimes.

Chen Chongzhou's flair is flirtatious, he's a flamboyant man, he's a playboy with a reputation, not a woman.

Yang Ji inquired about the information, he raised a model in Guiyuan, and here, obviously, he bought the real estate Jinwu Zangjiao.

Chen Yuan didn't believe it at all.

Regardless of whether he still misses Shen Zhen nine out of ten, he is traditional in his bones, and Chen Chongzhou finds it troublesome to talk about the two at the same time.

He belongs to the mind master, high-level scum, and he disdains low-quality scum.

Liang Zewen waited for a while, he didn't understand, so he asked, "Chen Dong, what's the problem?"

Chen Yuan turned around and continued to walk towards the Southwest Garden, "I don't know if it's a person or a voice, it seems familiar."

Liang Zewen didn't take it seriously, "The residents in this land are either rich or expensive. Mr. Chen is a celebrity, and most of you know him."

He nodded, "That's right."
