Bait

A cluster of headlights shot out from the rear, dazzled Wan Xixi's eyes, Chen Yuan lifted the rearview mirror and fixed his gaze.

The man in the driver's seat turned off the engine and got down at a leisurely pace. The off-white cashmere coat was shrouded in the setting sun, emitting a blurred orange-yellow color.

Wan Xixi calmed down and looked at the man, "He Peiyu has tied uncle tightly all her life. My father said that it's not that young and beautiful women, colleagues in the mall have never given him pillows, and he never took them. What kind of charm does He Peiyu have? Uncle is so obsessed with it."

Chen Yuan didn't respond, but put his elbows against the window frame, "I'm back."

With an unburned cigarette in his mouth, Chen Chongzhou leaned closer, took his cigarette butt, and smoked vigorously, "Come back and congratulate your father, brother, have you congratulated me?"

"Is it joy?" Chen Yuan was full of deep meaning, "What if it's disaster?"

Evening is thick.

Melting frost flowed across the glass, and between the interlaced water marks were two calm faces.

Calmly, the waves are treacherous.

Chen Chongzhou laughed, "Do you think it's bad luck, brother?"

"The addition of a child to the Chen family is naturally a happy event." Chen Yuan didn't respond.

"Brother, it's rare to see each other recently."

Chen Yuan crushed the smoke, "Why, do I want to report my whereabouts to you?"

"Don't dare." Chen Chongzhou unbuttoned his coat with one hand, "I'm just warning my elder brother, you shouldn't touch it, please control it a little bit, so as not to cause trouble, what do you think?"

Wan Xixi tilted her head and looked at the two of them.

She knew that Chen Yuan was looking for that Shen surname again.

Otherwise, with Chen Chongzhou's temperament, he is too lazy to talk nonsense, and he doesn't recognize this big brother at all.

With his current attitude, he was only about to tear off the last layer of face.

The children of the rich and powerful families are rarely pinched too embarrassingly, and they have some scruples anyway, but when they really fight in the open, the old man is basically useless and can't be intimidated.

That woman is purely a real fox and a fake white rabbit, playing a pure and lovely person, specially catching these men who are tired of playing in the wind and moon field, plus she has a good face, whoever is seduced by her, she If he is willing to withdraw, the man himself will not let go.

Chen Yuan rested his knuckles on the steering wheel, tapped it once and for all, "You care too much."

"It seems that elder brother has his own thoughts and has no intention of giving in." Chen Chongzhou unbuttoned all the buttons and stood in the cold wind, "I can only learn what elder brother is capable of."

"I am indeed inferior to you in love." Chen Yuan looked forward.

Chen Chongzhou leaned over, "It's the same in any place. Big brother's gentlemanly demeanor is only for outsiders, but for his own people, isn't there little conspiracy?"

"Oh? You won me in the shopping mall? You're quite confident." Chen Yuan pushed the door and got out of the car, and when he passed by, he stopped again, "You disturbed Wan Youliang's land on Xipo Mountain. "

Chen Chongzhou straightened his back, with a casual expression on his face, "The project on Xipo Mountain is a default decision, and Wan Youliang has been in the shopping mall. I have accumulated a lot of connections here, do I have the means to cut him off?"

Chen Yuan stepped forward, "It's better not you."

Chen Chongzhou stared at his back, and instantly put away his smile.

The door of the west courtyard was opened, and there were crackling sounds inside, and Jiang Rong smashed it into darkness.

Chen Yuan and Wan Xixi appeared at the door and called out, "Mother."

She was so excited that her face was terrified, "He Peiyu is actually pregnant, she is already 55 years old! Didn't she give birth to her second child and almost died on the operating table due to hemorrhage? Obviously I bribed the doctor with my own hands! She can still have children?"

"Mother!" Chen Yuan stood in the mess, with his back to the light, his face extremely deep, "You are confused, and you have forgotten the truth that disaster comes from your mouth."

Wan Xixi glanced at him and comforted Jiang Rong, "Auntie, anxiety hurts your body, please relax."

"No matter how relieved I am, the position of the original spouse and the eldest son will be gone!" Jiang Rong grabbed Chen Yuan's arm, "Do you still remember He Peiyu's first son?"

He frowned, "The same trick must never be used twice. The meager friendship between you and your father can't help but be wasted."

"I don't care about that much!" Jiang Rong yelled like crazy, "Chen Zheng was fascinated by that old vixen, she gave birth to another child, and we are all finished."

Chen Yuan helped Jiang Rong to sit down, "The only opponent to inherit the family business is the second child. He and I are evenly matched. If you move He Peiyu at this time, it is equivalent to killing yourself. Father will settle the old and new grievances together. "

Jiang Rong calmed down a bit, "Will you just watch her give birth?"

"Why not?" There was a smile in Chen Yuan's eyes, "Perhaps, what He Peiyu gave birth to is not a child, but the grave of her and her second child."

At the same time, Chen Chongzhou was in He Peiyu's room, she was leaning against the head of the bed, the blood color that had just recovered faded away, and she was completely pale.

He saw through the mystery and didn't ask much, "Deal with it."

He Peiyu shook violently, "I'm not sure..."

"Are you going to take risks?"

She gritted her teeth, "I handle it myself?"

"If you have the ability to rely on Jiang Rong, of course it would be better." Chen Chongzhou's brows were furious, "By the way, remove Sister Su from the Chen family."

"Sister Su doesn't know..." He Peiyu was already in a daze, clutching the bed sheet with both hands, "Cheng Shiluan is here, he and I didn't—"

"Chen Yuan smashed it, can you guarantee that he didn't arrange for Sister Su to investigate secretly?" Chen Chongzhou sat on the sofa, "Secrets that are not visible are the most taboo of luck and softness."

He Peiyu was numb and dull, "Will I be involved if things happen?"

Chen Chongzhou picked up a Jade Buddha placed in a decorative cabinet, "Everything will end with me, what are you worried about?"

"I have a way to deal with Chen Zheng, but Chen Yuan..."

"A person who can't take care of himself, why should you be afraid." The Jade Buddha was illuminated by the crystal palace lantern in an emerald green color, and Chen Chongzhou was turning it in his hand, "It will be shed before the end of the month, or later, it will be bad."

"Did something go wrong with Chen Yuan?" He Peiyu caught the key point, "Did you make a move?"

"I only use the scalpel." He put down the Jade Buddha, not taking it seriously, "But I can't control others if they guess my intentions and touch him because they want to please me."

He Peiyu knew that Chen Chongzhou was the best at doing behind-the-scenes tricks, and he did it extremely well. He never showed up in person. Chen Yuan suffered secret losses several times, but he could not be found out.

Over the past ten years, under the oppression of the big house, although he appeared to be a mess, in fact, he survived the cracks, developed many social networks and party members, and hid them very deeply.

***

The lights in the study were not turned on, and Chen Zheng was drinking in front of the window sill. Even Chen Chongzhou went in without looking back.

He stopped, "Father, congratulations."

After speaking, turn on the light.

Chen Zheng turned around, "Have you visited your mother?"

"My brother and I also met."

"Your Aunt Jiang is unhappy, it's good for him to accompany you."

Chen Zheng poured another glass of wine and pushed it to Chen Chongzhou, "He Pengkun, the deputy director of Huaer, has been promoted to the chairman, do you have any impression?"

"Yes." He picked up the wine glass, sniffed it symbolically, and didn't drink it. "Huaer is a state-owned enterprise, and the top leader is appointed by the government. At the beginning of the year, there was news that the deputy directors, He Pengkun and Lan Li, will choose one of the two to replace Director Jiang."

"I didn't ask him." Chen Zheng sat down, "Ask when his daughter is, and do you have any memory?"

Chen Chongzhou did not show his emotions, "When is it, I have no memory."

"She has a deep impression on you. When I returned from the tour in July, I specifically mentioned you to Director He."

"Dancing?"

Chen Zheng nodded, "He has won many international awards, and at the age of 29, he is a good match for you."

"With me?" Chen Chongzhou didn't have any smile lines, he was calm and indifferent, "Nothing to do with it."

"Your elder brother's marriage has been decided, so don't delay." Chen Zheng looked at him against the light, "Your mother is pregnant, and I don't have time to take care of Fucheng. Go help your elder brother."

Chen Chongzhou shook the cup hand for a while.

These words are obvious, the core property of the Chen family belongs to him.

No matter how much, as long as Chen Zheng opens the gap and allows the second room to share the pie, more and more will be divided in the future, and the opening will become bigger and bigger. No matter how clever Chen Yuan's methods are, he will not be able to prevent him.

Chen Zheng thought to himself, "Ever since you graduated, you played so crazy, I haven't interfered with you, please take care of yourself from now on."

"Jinfucheng, do you have any conditions?" Chen Chongzhou didn't play charades, and said straightforwardly, "You know the whole thing."

Chen Zheng said flatly, "You understand."

"She can't?"

Chen Zheng didn't speak.

Chen Chongzhou put the cup back, "Will love work, I can't tell her apart."

"It can't be separated, you can raise it." Chen Zheng took a step back, "Your elder brother raised Lin Sheng in Hong Kong. Wan Xixi heard about it. Isn't it too ordinary? It's common for upper-class merchants to set up a family outside, and a woman's duty That's fine. As for the tricks of the superior to force the palace, I can't rub the sand in my eyes."

Lin Sheng was the one who stood up for Qiao Hanrun back then. She worked in sales at Shenghe at the age of 19, and Chen Yuan was her team leader during her master's degree.

After chasing him for half a year, he refused.

Later, when Chen Zheng attacked Qiao Hanrun, Chen Yuan moved out Lin Sheng to act in a play. It was also a house and a trip, but Chen Zheng was not easy to fool, and dug out the real master.

Chen Yuan is a man with a dark heart in business and a soft heart in love.

Contrary to Chen Chongzhou, he is a businessman, a lover, and has a hard heart.

Lin Sheng followed him all the time, taking care of the daily life, uninterrupted.

Chen Chongzhou was leaning on the antique shelf with a carefree expression, "You are so cautious, why did my mother give birth to me when she was away?"

"you..."

"Second child!" He Peiyu pushed open the door at this moment, "You're making your father angry again."

Chen Zheng suppressed his anger, and immediately went around the desk to help her, "Why did you get out of bed?"

"I drank the anti-fetal medicine, and my stomach was bloated." She covered her lower abdomen, "I passed the study and listened to your argument."

He Peiyu cheered up, "Second brother, admit your mistake!"

Chen Chongzhou loosened his collar, impatiently, "Wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"It was your fault to let you hear."

He Peiyu slapped her up, but was stopped by Chen Zheng, "There is no dispute! Peiyu, be careful."

Chen Chongzhou turned his side slightly, and went out expressionlessly.

In the corridor, Cheng Shiluan rushed to He Peiyu's bedroom, but when Chen Yuan came out from the west courtyard, he bumped into him and called him to stop.

"Doctor Cheng."

Not far away, Chen Chongzhou stopped and stood against the wall.

Chen Yuan is gentle and elegant, "My father has heart disease, will Aunt He have it?"

Cheng Shiluan didn't understand his temptation, "As far as I know, Mr. Chen's heart disease is acquired, not hereditary."

"That's good." Chen Yuan rolled up his cuffs as if nothing had happened, "Where is Dr. Cheng?"

"In the Department of Surgery at the General Hospital."

"Meng Jingzhao, an orthopedic specialist at the General Hospital, can you recommend me?"

Chen Chongzhou narrowed his eyes coldly.

Cheng Shiluan said, "I'm in the same hospital as him, but we don't communicate in private, so we can't contribute to Mr. Chen."

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Really? It's a pity."

Chen Chongzhou's face darkened.

Meng Jingzhao is a professor of orthopedics at the Municipal People's Hospital, and has nothing to do with the General Hospital.

Chen Yuan was deceiving him, trying to figure out his bottom line, and he was afraid that he would expose Cheng Shiluan's identity and uproot the second room before He Peiyu did it.

They left one after another. Chen Chongzhou walked out from behind the wall, took the overcoat handed over by the servant, "Where does Doctor Cheng live?"

"No. 14 Guangling Road."

"Do you have any family members?"

The servant said, "Dr. Cheng told Mr. Chen that he lost his wife and had no children."

Chen Chongzhou drove out of the courtyard without saying a word.

Not long after, An Qiao went to Guobin Peninsula to pick up Chen Yuan, and he came out with Wan Xixi, "Is there any entertainment for me?"

"You didn't..."

Chen Yuan looked at her, "Is there any?"

An Qiao immediately changed his words, "Yes, in the Meiliwan clubhouse."

"You send Xixi back to Nanjiang Road, I will go by myself."

Upon hearing this, Wan Xixi pressed his hand, "Are you going home after the dinner party?"

Chen Yuan didn't move, "Try your best."

"Today is my birthday."

He was silent for a moment, "I haven't forgotten."

She was still looking forward to it, "Isn't it okay to turn it down for entertainment? This kind of day only happens once a year."

Half of Chen Yuan's face was covered by the night, and he seemed to be secretive, "Sorry, Xixi, I will try to get back before midnight."

He opened the car door and told An Qiao, "Drive slowly."

Wan Xixi got into the car and watched Chen Yuan turn the corner. It was very fast, as if she was eager to meet someone.

She made up her mind, "Secretary An, do you recognize Meihua Shopping Mall? Give me a ride there, I'll do some shopping."

Halfway through, Chen Yuan turned around and crossed the bridge, and Anqiao continued on.

"Secretary An." Wan Xixi instructed her, "Turn around."

Only then did An Qiao realize that Wan Xixi was following Chen Yuan, "Boss Chen means to send you back to Chen's mansion."

Wan Xixi glanced at her, "Since I dare to follow, I'm not going to hide it from him."

Shen Zhen worked overtime until 7:[-], and sent text messages to Chen Chongzhou one after another, but he didn't reply.

Several colleagues from the marketing department passed by the company lobby, "Shen Zhu, you're not driving, shall I give you a ride?"

"Someone picks up."

"Yo—boyfriend?"

Shen Zhen smiled sweetly, "I didn't agree, it's the probationary period."

"The sportsman in the Jaguar this morning?"

An old employee tugged at the corner of the girl's clothes, "That's the brother of our boss, Fucheng's second prince."

"Shen Zhu, if you don't make a show, you will become a blockbuster." The colleagues joked, "You are too clever at finding a man."

Shen Zhen smiled, didn't say anything, and didn't pay attention to the two cars at the intersection.

One was parked by the side of the road, and there was faint smoke overflowing from the front row, and the second car was 4 or 5 meters away, quietly watching.

An Qiao's nerves were tense, and he fumbled for his phone to remind Chen Yuan, but Wan Xixi noticed, "Secretary An, what do you mean?"

"I...contact the servants in the Chen mansion to cook dinner for you."

Wan Xixi stared at her, "I'm not hungry."

Chen Yuan lowered the car window and looked at the woman on the steps.

After a sleet, the temperature dropped sharply, and ice began to form at night, and the white mist enveloped the neon lights on the street, slightly drunk and blurred, Shen Zhen rubbed his hands, breathed hot air into his mouth, and stomped his feet vigorously.

Immediately afterwards, a figure approached her eyes, and she regained her senses, "Mr. Chen."

Chen Yuan took off his coat, "Waiting for someone?"

Shen Zhen pursed her lips, "Yes."

"Don't you get off work at 6 o'clock?"

"There are many projects, and I may have to work overtime in October."

The wind blew through her hair, she raised her hand to stroke it, and Chen Yuan put it behind her ear for a second, then quickly withdrew her hand, "He left early, maybe there are other things, I'll see you off."

Shen Zhen lowered her head, "I don't bother you, I will take a taxi myself."

Chen Yuan remained motionless, covering her from the wind, "Will you become enemies with me in the future?"
