Coming out of the teahouse, Xue Yan opened the car door, "Qi Cheng can't hold back anymore."

Chen Chongzhou got into the car, "Why?"

"He contacted Ms. Qiao, but Ms. Qiao didn't answer him. Qi Cheng thought that she had changed her mind after returning to China, and she was thinking about the eldest son. You told him not to allow him to visit Lingyuan International without authorization, so as not to reveal his whereabouts. He was as anxious as a fever Ants on the pot." Xue Yan was worried, "Qi Cheng can't do anything wrong, can he?"

"Do you think he loves Qiao Hanrun so much?" Chen Chongzhou sneered, "Qi Cheng is afraid that she will be deceived by Chen Yuan, abandon her husband and son, and lose the bargaining chip to take revenge on the Chen family. A man loves a woman deeply. Cherish everything related to her, including the common children. Using your own flesh and blood as a weapon to restrain women, how true is it?"

The boulder hanging in Xue Yan's heart finally fell to the ground, "It's been nine years, and Qi Cheng has taken care of her with all his heart. Miss Qiao is pampered and well-behaved, and her ten fingers are hardly touched by the spring water, but Qi Cheng has practiced a good cooking skill."

"Never underestimate a man's stamina and acting skills, especially when he bears hatred and plots. He is oppressive and impeccable. The more guilty Qiao Hanrun enjoys his care, the more profitable Qi Cheng is, and the firmer he is in catching her. Guilt and old love are The weakness that torments women the most is that once a game breaks out, everything will be destroyed." Chen Chongzhou closed his eyes with a smile and rested his mind, "Are you ready?"

"Everything is ready, but I'm not sure about the second wife..."

He Peiyu's temper is exactly the same as Chen Chongzhou's.

Stubborn, stubborn, lofty and arrogant.

Let her play a dead person, and she will turn the world upside down.

"Except for this road?" Xue Yan watched Chen Chongzhou from the rearview mirror, "The rest of the second wife's situation is completely out of sight, and she is really hard to bear."

The back seat was empty and silent, he seemed to have listened, but also didn't seem to listen.

Xue Yan simply remained silent.

The car drove into a manor, it was seven o'clock.

The nanny welcomed Chen Chongzhou into the living room, "Second Young Master, are you having dinner here?"

He unbuttoned his coat and looked around, "Where's mother?"

The nanny signaled, "It's on the second floor."

"How's your appetite?"

"The whole body is swollen, and I have abdominal pain in the morning. I was supposed to be sent to the hospital, but—"

Chen Chongzhou has confessed that He Peiyu is not allowed to be exposed, He Peiyu is not allowed to contact those rich wives, the nanny dare not disobey his order, and Xue Yan has been here, He Peiyu refused to go out with him, and insisted on staying in this city, dragged on until now .

"In special circumstances, mother's safety is the most important thing." He was finally annoyed, and hurried to the door of the bedroom, "Mom."

It was silent inside.

He pulled the door bolt and opened a crack, and the ceramic cup that fell from the sky hit his forehead directly. Chen Chongzhou had quick eyesight and quick hands, he fished it out from the air and held it in his palm.

The newly boiled milk splashed into the mouth of the tiger, and immediately bubbled up.

He stopped and silently looked at He Peiyu in the room.

She was furious, "What kind of tricks are you playing? Who is Meng Zhao, don't you know!"

Chen Chongzhou put down his cup, "Since I hired him, I have thoroughly investigated his background."

"Meng Zhao, fought with weapons in 03, was imprisoned for eight years, and took refuge under Liu Hu's command in 12. He watched the scene in a bar in the eastern suburbs. Liu Hu had committed illegal trading. It was Chen Ling, who was the deputy bureau at the time, who personally arrested him at the border. , This group of people is the key supervision target, Chen Ling has notified his subordinates more than once to guard against death, but if they are dishonest, they will enter the palace at any time." He Peiyu approached him with her stomach straight, "Chen Ling has never been used to our mother and son, you He hit his gun with a handle."

"It seems that my mother is very comfortable. She tricked me into coming back." Chen Chongzhou stretched out his hand to support her, "I have my own intentions."

"What's your intention? I think you're capable." He Peiyu threw him off angrily, "Even my own mother sent me to play with you and arranged for me to seduce Zhang Li. How old am I? Are you absurd?"

He threw his hands away, retracted his eyebrows calmly, and brushed off his sleeves, "Father has a capable general, nicknamed Black Dog. Chen Yuan gave him 300 million and settled in Southeast Asia with his family."

He Peiyu's vision was taken aback by Chen Zhengyang, and she scoffed disdainfully, "300 million, what's the use of it?"

"Then the black dog is short of money, who will he work for?" Chen Chongzhou smiled, "He blatantly defected, and my father absolutely doesn't believe him. People who are abandoned by the Chen family must be suspected of being unfaithful by the outside world. The dog's next employer can only be named Chen."

"Chen Yuan...the long room...Jiang Rong!" He Peiyu was stunned.

He sat down on the soft couch, "Through Zhang Li's words, the Chen family learned that my mother has a cousin like Meng Zhao, and Jiang Rong will definitely weigh you if she harms you. Besides, does the black dog have the guts to offend people in the Jianghu?" ? Does he want money or peace?"

He Peiyu was annoyed, "You are already the chairman, and you can still sit firmly in your position with your means. The situation of the long house is over, and Jiang Rong dares to provoke you? Is she asking for trouble?"

"If I only protect myself and don't drag myself down, I can have no scruples in the Chen family and Fucheng, and I don't have to go through every step of the way. I spend the whole day in calculations and acting." Chen Chongzhou rubbed the peony pattern on the couch curtain, "The Chen family is calm and peaceful. Underneath is a guillotine, and you are the first one to fall. My father’s original intention was to abandon Chen Yuan, cleanse Bai Fucheng, and help me to the top. The game of chess has changed from being controlled by our father to a three-party mutual system. In the eyes of my father, Chen Yuan is upright, and I am evil. Fucheng's troubles are quite difficult, and he is the most suitable for conspiracy and tricks to level this muddy water, so my father gave up on him. Now, my father realizes that Chen Yuan Yuan Yuan's cunning is not inferior to mine, so of course he protects the eldest son. If I collapse and you and Jiang Rong have feuded for 40 years, she will definitely use the hands of the black dog to kill them all."

He Peiyu frowned. Last time, he vaguely mentioned this part of the reason, but she didn't take it to heart.

Chen Yuan was born with the original spouse, and Jiang Rong's family background is far superior to hers, and he has an advantage over Chen Chongzhou in terms of emotion and reason.

At that time, he repeated the old saying, and she also paid attention to it, "Are you going to collapse? What are the consequences?"

Chen Chongzhou's fair jade-like fingers curled up quickly, and a crease appeared on the curtain, "If you suffer a crushing defeat, life is better than death."

He Peiyu felt tightness in her chest, "What's wrong with you."

"It's the Chen family's problem." He said lightly, "Chen Yuan counts on me to come back and escape at any cost, and fight him to the death. Maybe he will pinch you and threaten me. At any time, remember that Meng Zhao is Liu Hu. Your confidant is your cousin."

He Peiyu stared at him, "If you are married and you face any situation, the He family will protect you."

"In the business world, winners don't need protection, losers have no protection." Chen Chongzhou laughed, "When did I get married? What about Shen Zhen?"

"You can't take care of yourself, what kind of woman do you care about? The Chen family is prominent, will you have trouble with a little girl?"

"Now my father is really having trouble with her. Chen Ling was present this morning, and my father proposed to marry her to Chen Yuan."

He Peiyu understood Chen Zheng better than Jiang Rong. His thoughts and his city had been entangled with him all his life.

Obviously, he wants to close the net.

Whoever is caught in the net will be finished.

She clenched her fists, "Your father is manipulating Shen Zhen behind her back. She married Chen Yuan, and Chen Yuan was trapped. As long as you stay calm and don't lose control, your chances of winning are great. It's just a woman, second child, you have to understand heavy."

Chen Chongzhou did not respond to her, and took out a door newspaper in black and white, "Your funeral will be on the second day of next month."

The words "forgive me for not paying enough attention" on the paper were in Chen Chongzhou's handwriting.

Vigorous and powerful, flowing like water.

His calligraphy skills have inherited Chen Zheng's excellent brushwork, and for this, Chen Zheng appreciates him very much.

He Peiyu took it, and Chen Chongzhou immediately stood up.

In the Chen family, she had experienced ups and downs and sufferings all her life, fighting for fame, power, face, and breath.

In the end, it is still nothing but nothing.

You can't even decide whether you want to live or not.

***

Chen Chongzhou left the manor and arrived at the 2 buildings next door.

The nanny was cleaning up the garbage, so the entrance door was ajar, and the woman happened to go downstairs at this time, passing the dimly lit entrance.

In sight, the man was wearing a caramel-colored sweater, his jacket was lost somewhere, his off-white woolen trousers were ironed, crisp and obedient, and the belt around his waist was tucked into the last frame. He seemed to be thinner.

He stopped in front of her, and the strong and piercing oppression invaded her so much that she had nowhere to hide.

"Chongzhou..."

"Don't forget." His voice was deep, more oppressive than the momentum at this moment, "What did you promise?"

The woman was startled, and immediately knew why he came, "Qi Cheng looked for you."

"Although the time hasn't come, you can't easily meet." Chen Chongzhou passed her and went straight to the living room, "But I didn't instruct you to refuse Qi Cheng's call."

The servant noticed that his expression was not very good, made a pot of hot tea, set the table, and bowed his head.

The woman took the initiative to fill up for Chen Chongzhou, "Qi Cheng wants to have a video with Longlong."

"Shouldn't it be?"

The bun fell loosely on her shoulders, she lowered her eyebrows and said, "It should be, he is the father of the child."

Chen Chongzhou's expression was calm, he didn't take the cup of tea, and continued to ask, "Your reason for hiding from him."

The woman choked up, "Chongzhou, I can't face him."

He raised his eyes and looked at her, "Why?"

"I don't love Qi Cheng...but I have Longlong and Yangyang with him. I am a mother and a wife. But in Chongzhou, I only hope that I am a woman. The first half of my life was involuntary and at the mercy of others , Love and hate as you wish for the rest of your life."

That day, she seemed to be possessed, she had never been so eager to see Chen Yuan.

Like a premonition, she couldn't afford to waste or wait.

She deliberately bypassed the Shenghe Group on the pretext of going to the mother and baby store to buy milk powder, begging the bodyguards to let her go, just one look, one look.

The bodyguard couldn't bear it, and later, when she witnessed that scene, she wished she hadn't got out of the car.

At least, you can deceive yourself.

She recognized Chen Yuan's car, a six-inch framed photo on the center console, the woman in the photo was not her.

With a slight smile and frown, she is pure and compelling, with bright black eyes like a fox, with a bit of a charming attitude, like a pure and white lily.

Such a charming, energetic woman.

The vast sea of ​​people, she has not seen for a long time.

Maybe Chen Yuan did too.

"Chongzhou, every minute and every second is pain to me. I miss him too much. If I appear, will he still love me? He only likes others when he thinks I'm dead."

She covered her face and sobbed.

After a while, Chen Chongzhou got up slowly, "You shouldn't have the rest of your life."

The woman was stunned, her crying stopped abruptly, her whole body froze, and then she trembled violently.

"You don't see people alive or dead, Chen Zheng has been searching for your whereabouts."

Hearing this, she trembled even more.

"I saved you, not for nothing. It is not for nothing to support your family of four for nine years. My principles, things that cannot be trusted and controlled, and other things that come back to me, I will destroy it first."

Chen Chongzhou walked towards the stairs, towards the study.

The woman lifted the layer of tears in front of her eyes and looked at him cautiously. Outside the window was the moonlight day after day. The lake water that had flowed by the Lingyuan River for several years dimly shot through the window coffin. A rusty old-fashioned phonograph was in the corner. Playing music that does not belong to this era, unexpectedly, it suits him so well.

That kind of retro cold but amazing taste.

His back became more and more blurred until he disappeared.
