Bait

In the evening, Lingyuan International Phase One quietly drove into a car.

When passing by Building 2, the man in the back seat called to stop.

A goose-yellow cotton skirt hangs on the terrace, intertwined with the light clouds.

Yang Ji lifted the rearview mirror and noticed that he was absent-minded, "Chen Dong, is this the building?"

Chen Yuan clenched his fist vainly, raised his jaw, and didn't pay much attention, "Go forward."

The car was parked in No. 1 courtyard, and Yang Ji turned off the engine.

At that time, He Peiyu was playing with parrots in the manor.

The blue-eyed parrot from California, USA, was consigned to China by Chen Chongzhou, to relieve her boredom.

The doorbell rang, and the nanny hurriedly greeted the guests from the kitchen. When she saw who was coming, she was stunned, "Ma'am, it's the eldest son."

He Peiyu put down the metal hook for feeding and walked towards the entrance.

Looking at each other, Chen Yuan was startled, and instantly understood, "Aunt He, it's you."

"What are you worried about when the weasel pays the chicken New Year's greetings?" She said mercilessly, "Sister Jiang, see off the guests."

The nanny didn't move, just stood there, "My lord, my wife is restless during pregnancy, you..."

"It's okay." Chen Yuan looked around, and there was no trace of the young woman, "Being kicked out by my father, I guess Aunt He was in a bad mood, so I came here to comfort you."

"Jiang Rong is not a good person, and you are not." He Peiyu greeted the bodyguards, "Are you blind! Get out!"

The bodyguards surrounded him and grabbed Chen Yuan's arm. He flung him off with only three or four points of force, hitting the bodyguards so badly that he nearly fell over.

Chen Yuan's shoulders and neck were flushed, and he unbuttoned his suit. His straight body was unrestrained, and his aura became more and more fierce. The bodyguards looked at each other in blank dismay. Unexpectedly, the gentleman who is gentle and polite also has a wild and powerful side.

He ignored it and went straight over, "It doesn't matter whether I am a good thing or not, what matters is what Aunt He wants now."

He Peiyu froze, "What do you mean?"

Chen Yuan sat down calmly, "Aunt He is a woman with great skills, otherwise she wouldn't be able to tie down her father for more than [-] years. Since smart people talk, there are rules and methods for smart people."

She waved her hand to signal the bodyguard to step back, and then sat opposite him, "Where is Cheng Shiluan?"

Chen Yuan simply said, "It's in my hands."

He Peiyu looked alert, "Is he safe?"

"In addition to the restriction of freedom, life is the richness and nourishment that ordinary people can't ask for."

"Are you so kind?"

He calmly picked up the cup from the tea tray and opened a bottle of red wine, "Aunt He knows what my temper is."

That's right, Chen Yuan was concerned about respectability and the status of the eldest son. He always behaved in a proper manner and never let himself be blamed. Moreover, Chen Ling was in charge of the Chen family, including Chen Zheng, who also restrained himself in every possible way and did not easily poke trouble.

He Peiyu's negotiating posture, "Release him, what conditions."

Chen Yuan waved the decanter, "Can the second child accommodate Cheng Shiluan?"

"That's what I'm thinking about, it has nothing to do with you."

The wine was as red as blood, staining his lips and teeth, he savored, "I'm not a philanthropist, Aunt He exchanged chips."

"I'm so down and out, Jiang Rong also vented her hatred, isn't that enough?" He Peiyu stroked her swollen belly, "The second child's role as director is your father's decision, and I have no right to interfere. Besides, Chongzhou is my son, I hope he will inherit Fucheng, he is in power, and I have hope of turning over, why drag him down? Even if I promise you, can you trust me?"

"Aunt He misunderstood." He swept his eyes and interrupted the conversation.

He Peiyu told the nanny, "You also step back."

The nanny came into the balcony and gathered the bedsheets to dry. Chen Yuan remained silent and fiddled with the hourglass ornaments on the pear wood table.

She understood, and ordered again, "Sister Jiang, the anti-fetal medicine is in the bedroom on the second floor. You can reheat it and serve it."

After sending the nanny away, He Peiyu stared at Chen Yuan, "What do you want to say."

He casually straightened the creases of his trousers, "In my impression, Aunt He has a personal relationship with Deputy Dong Xiaohui."

"Xiao Hui's wife is from my hometown. For this reason, I have had contact with him." She was impatient, "What kind of chips do you want?"

"Father intends to retire from the second line, and the position of acting chairman will be chosen between me and my second child."

He Peiyu sneered, "In the final analysis, you still threaten me to find a way to drag the second child to give you your seat."

Chen Yuan's smile was unfathomable, "I asked Aunt He to join me in supporting the second child to take over Fucheng, and I will be subordinate to him."

She was stunned, still in a trance for a long time, "You don't want to fight?"

"Why am I fighting?" Chen Yuan leaned back, raised his right leg, and slouched, "The chairman of the Fucheng Group is an honor and a bondage, and he can't help himself by marrying and having children. Surveillance, is it worth celebrating?"

He Peiyu was dubious, "Will Jiang Rong agree with you to abstain?"

"Aunt He collapsed, my mother grew up in the Chen family alone, she has nothing else to ask for."

She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out Chen Yuan's intentions for a moment. Fucheng was a real estate, and the second wife coveted it.

If you give it to a good-for-nothing, one day you will change your mind, it will be easy to get it back, but once you give it to Chen Chongzhou, it will be very difficult to snatch it from him.

"You don't regret it?"

Chen Yuan calmed down and said, "The shopping mall is like a chess game, and you will have no regrets."

He Peiyu smiled, "This is a great thing. Of course I will not refuse. I will notify Xiao Hui as soon as possible. You notify your party members. The meeting place is up to you."

He stood up, "The second child is suspicious, I clearly have good intentions, he may not accept my kindness, why don't Aunt He congratulate him after it's done."

"I know how to do it."

Chen Yuan said goodbye respectfully, "Then don't bother Aunt He."

Coming out of the manor, Yang Ji opened the car door, "He Peiyu is not smart, I think she is pretending to be smart."

Chen Yuan smiled, "She's not stupid, it's just that the second room is in conflict with herself, and He Peiyu dare not completely depend on the second child. She is eager to find a way to get the best of both worlds, and replace her old lover with the position of chairman. After all, their mother and son picked her up." It's a big deal, so why not do it."

Yang Ji walked out of the community, "Aren't you willing to inherit the Chen family?"

The smile in his eyes almost overflowed, "Gorgeous mushrooms are often highly poisonous. Behind the scenery may be profit, or a sharp sword. I need a target in front of me. Help me try and make mistakes."

Yang Ji glanced at him, "If He Peiyu remembers it..."

"The simpler the trick, the greater the chance of winning against an opponent who is extremely strong in the city. The second room regards me as an enemy, and I plot against them. It is reasonable to hide behind the scenes and openly show it to the public. On the contrary, He Peiyu is convinced." Chen Yuan He tapped the dial again and again, causing people to be shocked in the silent car, "My reasons are perfect, I hate marriage, I hate being a puppet of the family, He Peiyu thinks that I am retiring the marriage, and her persuasion is impeccable."

When Chen Yuan left, the nanny immediately contacted Chen Chongzhou and reported on the phone that the eldest son had talked with his wife for a long time, involving Cheng Shiluan, and the details were unknown.

At the same time as he hung up, the woman carried Longlong back to the second building next door.

She stopped at the door, Longlong also noticed the presence of the man, and timidly hid behind her legs.

"came back."

The fragrance of tea scattered in the living room, the man leaned on the sofa without even lifting his eyelids, and the ceramic lid brushed the mouth of the cup.

The woman looked at the high-end gift box in the restaurant, "Chongzhou, you spent so much money again."

"Longlong loves seafood, so I ordered some by the way."

She bent down, "Longlong, does Uncle Chen treat you well?"

The boy's eyes rolled darkly, "Thank you, Uncle Chen."

Chen Chongzhou took a sip of tea and looked at the wall clock, "Six hours and 32 minutes, are you having fun?"

The woman's breathing was stagnant, and he was reminding her that even if she was allowed to travel alone, every move of her and the child was under his control.

There is no escape.

She sent Longlong to the children's room, "Chongzhou, when you took the risk to save me, I owe you a great favor. I will remember it all the time."

He tilted his head slightly, very satisfied with her politeness, "Qi Shang has returned to China and is temporarily staying in a hotel."

The woman stopped in place, "Is he going to take me back?"

"He is worried that you will rekindle your love and abandon your husband and son." Chen Chongzhou was indifferent.

She bowed her head and said nothing.

For a long time, "Chongzhou, has your brother really let me go?"

"Put it down or pick it up, it's up to you."

The woman clenched her fingers.

"I will arrange for you to meet him soon." After a pause, "I mean Chen Yuan."

Her heart skipped a beat, as if a basin of ice was thrown suddenly, and a cluster of flames ignited again. Between the two heavens of ice and fire, she was in a daze.

"Chen Yuan..."

After a while, she came back to her senses and rushed to the man's side, but her throat was choked and she couldn't make a sound.

"Aren't you happy?" Chen Chongzhou smiled, "I haven't seen you in nine years, and I can finally catch up and relive the past. I thought you would cry with joy."

"I..." The woman stroked her hair, then slid to her chest helplessly, "Does he still have me in his heart?"

He got up, approached her, and examined her face. In fact, the woman's charm was not diminished. Qi Shang loved her very much, and he took care of her with all his heart for many years.

This affection is a mountain that can't breathe. Her husband, the father of her child, and the man she loves cannot share the grievances and grievances. She understands how much Qi Shang longs for revenge. crush her.

"What a man can't forget is the regret that he was forced to lose when he was in love, not the woman's appearance. As time goes by, everyone will become old and vicissitudes. Your vicissitudes are the weapon that hurts his heart and brings back his memories."

Chen Chongzhou bent down and looked at her eye level, "I will give you a chance to repay me."

The woman's face was pale, and she raised her eyes silently. He smiled meaningfully, "Try to grasp it."

***

Changshi Group contracted a new project, and the marketing department worked overtime until eight o'clock. When Shen Zhen and Hu Yuanyuan walked out of the lobby, the sky was very dark.

She bit the sweet potato and slurred her words, "Liang Dongte takes care of you, the whole department is jealous, and you haven't done anything good yet."

Shen Zhen didn't say a word.

"Guess what rumors I heard?" Hu Yuanyuan peeled off the dried sweet potato skin, "You are Liang Dong Xiaomi."

She chuckled, "It's outrageous."

"Director Liang's daughter is an intern in the finance department, and he doesn't seem to take care of you. Lao Guo said that you have a backer and are your boyfriend."

Shen Zhen pursed her lips, "That's not the case."

"That bouquet of roses..." Hu Yuanyuan stopped abruptly, her gaze fixed not far away, "I probably won't be able to catch your ride tonight."

She didn't know why, so she looked towards the side of the road. The intersection at the beginning of the night was like a long lens, showing a dim black and white film. In the image, countless strange men and women passed by without stopping for a second.

At the end of the night where gathering and parting, the silhouette of the man peels off slowly, he is colorful, brand new, and lonely.

Outside the bright window, he has an extremely gentle demeanor, with melancholy and intoxicating neon lights above his head, he seems to be deeply trapped in it, unable to extricate himself, and seems to be floating outside the world of mortals, with a pure and clean righteousness.

Hu Yuanyuan tut, "Is he chasing you?"

Shen Zhen said, "You gossip again."

"Boyfriends and husbands who are successfully promoted don't wait in advance. They always arrive early or even late. Only those who are in an ambiguous period are the most aggressive and active."

She was amused, "You are quite experienced, how many years have you been single?"

Hu Yuanyuan immediately turned her face, "I've been in more relationships than you have quarreled—"

Chen Yuan took off his cashmere coat and walked towards her, "Get off work?"

He was only wearing a gray thermal jacket, the shape was tight and thin, and the chest and strong abdominal muscles were ready to be seen, which were extraordinarily firm and clear.

"Director Liang is socializing at the Yanjing Hotel, not at the company."

Chen Yuan wrapped his coat around her shoulders tightly, "I'll pick you up."

Shen Zhen tried the air, it was dry and not wet, "It's not raining."

He laughed, "When did I say that I only pick you up when it's raining."

His clothes smelled of tobacco, and he was sombre and resolute. The kind of strength that was driven into the marrow made her uncomfortable, "I drove by myself."

After speaking, he took off his coat and wanted to return it to him.

"It's windy, it's cooling down." Chen Yuan pressed the back of her hand, "You wear it."

His palm was wide, and the rough calluses touched her, and the palm lines cut her skin numb, "I went to your house in the morning, and there was an accident on the way, so I missed it."

"Accident? Did you have a car accident?"

He rubbed his hands to keep warm, "Aren't I standing in front of you intact now?"

Shen Zhen couldn't help laughing, "If you are sick, not only will you not be able to pick me up, but I will have to go to the hospital, which is too troublesome."

Chen Yuan was gentle and solemn, "If you are willing to accompany me in bed, it doesn't matter if I am paralyzed for a year."

"Crow mouth." She tilted her head, and Hu Yuanyuan approached, "What's the last name of this handsome guy?"

He nodded, "Your surname is Chen."

Hu Yuanyuan opened her eyes wide, "A surname with a promising career."

"Really." Chen Yuan moved half a meter without showing his expression, and blocked the whistling wind for Shen Zhen. The new wind that blew from west to east made his body stretched and his knuckles turned red. "You know how to measure words?"

"You don't need to test the characters. The big and powerful families in the province are surnamed Chen. The four old ones and one young one are engaged in business and politics. Your family."

"Four old ones." He caught the sensitive point, "Which four."

Hu Yuanyuan betrayed Shen Zhen on the spot, "Chairman Chen's generation has three, and the son of the Chen family, didn't you tell me that the eldest son is old?"

"I didn't tell you—" She turned around, turned her back to Chen Yuan, and blinked vigorously, "You have lost your memory."

She refused to admit it, and Hu Yuanyuan became anxious, "You will personally..."

Shen Zhen jumped down the steps in a panic, and ran to Chen Yuan's car, "It's too cold, go back to the car."
