Looking at Ling Yue living like a contemporary Wei Xiaobao in a crowd of women, I suddenly had an indescribable feeling in my heart.
It was said that when a man had money or power, he would turn bad, and when a man turned bad, there would be no lack of women. There were many men like Ling Yue who enjoyed themselves in time, but not many were as magnanimous as him.
This person is different from any other man I've ever met. He has a deathly evil aura around him. And this evilness, every woman seemed to have an inexplicable attraction. I could feel the attraction from the change in Xia Yiwa's attitude towards him.
We stayed at the Phoenix Resort for two days, and during these two days we were very relaxed. Ling Yue had paid all of our expenses, and everything was top quality treatment. However, because of his identity, I always have my reservations towards him. I agree with him faintly, but never give him a good face.
After that, I hadn't seen him for half a year. In the past six months, I heard that Ling Yue and Tai Feng played a few chess games, and often played with Tai Ziqian.
Ling Yue, who used to be famous in Hangcheng for doing underground business, suddenly became the dark horse of Hangcheng's recent boom in the tourism industry.
He began to wash his hands, and entered the Hangcheng business circle as an entrepreneur. However, his dark history was still talked about with great interest.
My Noah also improved tremendously in this half year. Tai Ziqian and I worked together and invested in many projects in the past six months, and we were able to grasp every project accurately, so we quickly became famous in the investment world.
But now, I don't like to show my face anymore. Tai Ziqian and I are hiding behind the scenes and have the professional agent step in. Still, the news leaked, and someone already knew that I was behind Noah's investment.
We haven't seen each other since that farewell with Sheng Yun in half a year. However, I still habitually learned about his movements from the newspapers and the news every day. I knew almost everything about his movements.
His marriage to me became a "mystery" in the eyes of the media, and since then he has kept quiet about his private affairs, not about me, not about Zaizai, not about Duoduo, only about his work.
There was no gossip about him, and he, like me, became unusually quiet.
His cooperation with the Xu family had deepened. His attitude had gained Xu Changsheng's great trust, luring him to carry out round after round of financing. Xu Changsheng, has placed all of his treasures on the project with Sheng Shi.
The project went smoothly and without incident, a subversive product will be available in the middle of next year. Once this product was released, it would very likely cause the collapse of the traditional industrial chain, and could potentially become the "dark horse" in Hangcheng's current innovative products.
Almost everyone in the industry was optimistic about this project, as well as the grand cooperation between Golden Age and the Xu family. At the same time, the hearts of countless other companies were filled with panic …
Gradually, he began to consider himself as a big shot in the industry. He went to all the magazines and participated in all sorts of important summits, and he already regarded himself as a successful person. More than once, he had even said something outrageous after drinking, telling others that if it wasn't for the Xu family's support, Golden Age would have already passed.
Compared to Xu Changsheng's glee, Tai Ziqian and I appeared to be more and more calm and reasonable. We planned in the dark, each step extremely careful.
Through all kinds of methods and methods, we have already secretly obtained forty percent of the shares of the Xu's Group. The Xu family still has forty percent in Xu Changsheng's hands, and the other twenty percent has been transferred by Xu Changsheng to Golden Age.
All of our actions, Xu Changsheng did not know at all, he thought the shares were in the hands of countless different big and small shareholders, but did not know, those are all our people.
That night, Tai Ziqian and I stood in front of the window of the presidential suite of the Hangcheng Light Boat Hotel, each of us holding a cup of coffee as we looked down at Hangcheng. Tai Ziqian lightly sipped his coffee, lowered his head and looked at the Xu Family Building, and said meaningfully, "It's been so long since the sky cleared, it's time for the next downpour …"
CHAPTER 214 - TAKE YOUR OWN ROAD(3)
"Hmm, it's time to let Xu Changsheng pay the price." I finished my coffee in one gulp, and then the doorbell rang.
Tai Ziqian and I quickly walked to the door. When we opened it, Tai Ziqian's American classmate, our longtime partner Ma Ke, appeared at the door with his team members. Tai Ziqian and I quickly welcomed them.
That night, we talked in secret until midnight. After that, Tai Ziqian and I went home and slept soundly for the first time in history.
By the time I woke up, it was already 9.30 a.m. the next morning.
After I woke up and calmly brushed my teeth and washed my face, Tai Ziqian had already called. "Shubei, Ma Ke has already left for Xu's Group."
"Alright, I understand." I smiled and hung up.
I'm not worried about the results. Because I know that this year's hard work will not be in vain.
Now, it was time to close the net.
My heart was very calm. As usual, I ran for five thousand meters and then went home to play games with Zaizai for the whole morning.
My Zaizai is too smart, at less than two weeks of age, he can already walk and talk, his flesh is gradually fading, the outline of his body is gradually showing, his appearance is more and more like Sheng Yun, I sometimes see him as if he is a smaller version of Sheng Yun.
Nanny Liu did her best to bring Zaizai along. I knew that she had met Sheng Yun many times in the past six months, but I pretended not to know and never mentioned Sheng Yun in front of Nanny Liu.
I stayed with Tai Ziqian for many years. Even though there was nothing between us, I could tell from Nanny Liu's subtle words that she had misunderstood my relationship with Tai Ziqian and thought that I had already changed my love, so she didn't mention Sheng Yun to me anymore. It was just that every time she brought Zaizai to meet Sheng Yun, I could hear her sighing every time I came back.
From the number of times she sighed, I could tell that she had met Sheng Yun at least thirty times during the past six months, almost all of them on weekends. She didn't mention it again, and she still cared about me as much as ever, but I knew that she felt especially sorry for me and Sheng Yun.
At noon that day, I finally got the time to sit down personally for lunch with Zaizai and Nanny Liu.
We ate lunch together and talked. Nanny Liu ate while saying, "Little Bei, you're so busy..." How long are you going to be busy? The last time you went out to relax was six months ago. "Why are you so busy with this business?"
"Mom, it'll be fine after this period. After this period, I can take a breath of air." I looked at Nanny Liu and smiled.
"What did you just call me?" Nanny Liu put down her bowl and chopsticks and asked me with her eyes wide open.
"In my heart, you are already my mother." I reached out to take her hand and said softly, "Thank you for taking care of Zaizai all this time, for your concern and understanding towards me. I know it's hard to bring a child. Mom, you've worked hard. "
Nanny Liu's eyes immediately moistened. She tightly held my hand. She was so excited that she couldn't control herself. She hurriedly replied a few times.
My eyes moistened. I looked at Nanny Liu with relief, then at the portrait of my father and mother in the living room.
I think that their spirit in heaven would be pleased to see that I now have such a loving old man by my side.
"Silly child, can you call me mom? In my heart, it's even more fragrant than eating delicacies." Nanny Liu said with a smile.
"I wanted to call you that for a long time, but I'm not good at expressing my feelings, so I can't say it. Mom, I can't say anything else. I just want to tell you,
in the future, I will be responsible for your and your dad's retirement. You don't have to worry about no one taking care of you in the future, and you can stop blaming your children for not being filial. " I looked at Nanny Liu and smiled.
Nanny Liu's tears flowed down her face. I quickly wiped them away for her. Afterwards, we smiled at each other. There was an unfathomable depth to our smiles.
We didn't say anything more and continued to talk about family matters. After we finished eating and finished our meal, I rushed to wash the dishes. When I came out of the kitchen, I saw Nanny Liu sitting on the sofa, looking at Zaizai with a loving gaze. Zaizai was sitting on the TV, attentively watching the TV.
Once again, I received a call from Tai Ziqian. Tai Ziqian said on the phone: "Shubei, I'm already at your door. Come out!"
"Alright, I'll change." I hung up, changed quickly, put on a light makeup, and went out.
When I went out, Tai Ziqian was already waiting at the door in his car.
In the past six months, he hadn't had much time to dress himself, so his beard had grown by half. However, today he had specially shaved his beard and changed his appearance to that of someone who had just left for the season. He looked much more energetic, and there was a sense of wisdom and calmness on his face.
I got into the car and smiled at him, both of us looking relaxed.
"How is it?" I asked.
"Everything is within our expectations. Xu Changsheng is already stomping his feet, we... Just sit and watch. " Tai Ziqian said.
"He would never have thought that all the shares that belonged to him would be in our hands through layers of structure. Ma Ke's proposal of withdrawing his capital at this moment is a devastating disaster for Xu Changsheng. " I said, smiling.
"He doesn't understand the game of capital. This year, he was so intoxicated with his own empire that he had expanded to the point where he couldn't even look like a human being anymore. How could he know that we had already hollowed out the Xu family. On the surface, the Xu family looked as prosperous as ever, but in reality, they had already been swallowed up by us. "Now that the Xu family is heavily in debt and Ma Ke has withdrawn his money, he probably won't even be able to cry." Tai Ziqian said with a smile.
"I can't wait to see him cry," I said, looking at Tai Ziqian again, smiling, and patting him on the shoulder. "Ziqian, how can I thank you? If it weren't for you helping me plan it, I wouldn't have been able to complete such a complicated layout. "
"Do you and I need to say a word of thanks? I was also the beneficiary of the whole thing. I invested in energy and knowledge, and of course I wanted to reap the rewards. "There's no need for you to say all these. Firstly, I was willing, and secondly, I did not give it up for nothing. Once again …" As he said this, he suddenly stopped speaking.
"What again?" I couldn't help but ask.
He smiled, shook his head and said, "Forget it, there are some words that are suitable for me to put in my heart. "Talking too much makes you seem sad."
"Speak, don't keep us in suspense!" I saw him say it, so I said it.
"Again... Seeing you happy is my greatest happiness. I hope that from now on, you will be just like you are today. " he said slowly, looking at me.
"Oh oh, the Chinese level is not just average!" And you're still trying to reason with me! " Although my tone was teasing, my heart was moved.
If I don't know better, how could I not know Tai Ziqian's deep affection for me?" His father was already rich beyond compare, and his mother was also an artist with a reputation and capital in the industry. With his background and strength, how could he think so much of such a reward, much less bow down to a small company like mine and serve me?
I understand more than anyone, Tai Ziqian's feelings for me, already more than like, he quietly around me care for me, help me, sometimes like a companion, sometimes like a gentle and loving brother.
He was a noble person in my life, but I was destined not to be a good person.
He had seen my evasive words, my evasive feelings for him, my unforgettable love for Sheng Yun, so he had been rational and sober to restrain himself, to grasp the appropriate amount of time to be with me, but that feeling still ran out of his eyes from time to time.
Sometimes, when I inadvertently look up, I see him staring at me in a daze. This precious feeling was something that I could not repay. I could only pass it over and over again with a joking attitude. How could I not know that this would hurt his heart.
"Let's go!" He smiled in relief, started the car, and asked me, "Did you bring your bathing suit?"
"Yes, we did. Otherwise, we would be stuck in the suite for so long." I said, smiling.
The negotiation between Mark and Xu couldn't have ended that early, so Tai Ziqian and I decided to go to the swimming pool at the Kayak Inn to bathe in the sun first. I said I still couldn't swim, and Tai Ziqian was very surprised.
After changing into my bathing suit, I walked over to the pool. The position of the light boat was very high, ordinary people couldn't afford it. Therefore, other than the service personnel, no one else came to the huge pool.
Tai Ziqian had already started to swim happily in the water. His swimming posture was both agile and professional, causing the waiters to stare at him in the water.
I lay in the sun chair, applying sunscreen over and over, and shook my head several times when he beckoned me down to the pool.
He swam a few laps and then got up from the pool, showing off his muscular body while he kept beckoning to me. "You can't learn to swim in your life while you're on the shore," he said.
"Forget it, I'm not going. I'm really afraid of the water." I shook my head and smiled.
"Everyone has their first time." He came over to me.
I thought he was going to lie down, but he wasn't lying down at all, and he suddenly grabbed me from the side and threw me straight into the water.
I fell into the pool like a parabola, and soon sank into the water. I struggled desperately in the water, and Tai Ziqian jumped down as well. He used his big hands to pull me up out of the water, and I choked on a few mouthfuls of water.
Wearing a bathing cap, sunglasses and black swimming trunks, he crossed his arms and stood by the shore like a king. His perfect figure and cold figure made it impossible to see his expression under the sunglasses, but he could feel the chilliness radiating from his entire body …
CHAPTER 215 - REUNION(1)
I was still being held by Tai Ziqian. Due to the tense situation, his hands had clearly been placed where they shouldn't have been.
Our movements were extremely ambiguous, and I thought that the person on the shore must have misunderstood.
Just for a split-second, Tai Ziqian released me as I stood firmly in the water.
I stared at the man on the bank, and he looked at me, too, his body a faint golden yellow in the sun, not seen for a long time, thinner than ever, his arms flanked by strong muscles, his stomach showing six distinct abdominal muscles.
He was as self-disciplined as ever, as well-built as ever.
I knew he was looking at me, too, even though he was wearing dark glasses. He was standing there motionless, and his eyes must have been looking at me.
Tai Ziqian was silent as he saw the situation. Then, he dived into the water and swam to the other side of the pool.
Just then, a little girl in a pink bathing suit came running over and shouted, "Daddy! I've changed into my bathing suit! "
I turned and saw that it was Dodo.
She looked thinner and paler than before, followed by an aunt who looked like a babysitter. The nanny was wearing ordinary clothes and had an awkward smile on her face, as if she was not used to this kind of environment.
Sheng Yun turned around and looked at Duo Duo. He immediately took off his sunglasses, squatted down and opened his hand to Duo Duo.
She threw herself into his arms, and he hugged her tightly. Then he smiled at her and said, "Then will Daddy teach you how to swim?"
/> "Alright!" Duo Duo replied heartily.
Sheng Yun didn't have any intention of leaving. It seemed like he wanted to teach Duo Duo how to swim here. What about me? Should I stay, or should I leave?
Tai Ziqian swam in a circle before returning. He stuck his head out from beside me, wiped the water droplets on his face and whispered to me, "Shubei, if you don't want to stay here, we should go back to our room to rest first."
At that moment, I felt a burning gaze from the side.
Then I heard Duo Duo say to Sheng Yun, "Dad, it's Auntie Shubei."
"En, don't worry about them. Just focus on studying. Dad will first teach you how to hold your anger." Sheng Yun said coldly.
Even from a distance of more than two meters, I could still feel the coldness in his voice. This feeling of being so close made my heart ache again and again.
Instinctively, he wanted to leave, but he didn't know why. He said to Tai Ziqian, "Teach me, I don't want to leave yet."
"Alright." Tai Ziqian nodded. He looked at me with a serious expression and whispered into my ear, "If you feel uncomfortable, then we'll leave first. We'll teach you next time. There are plenty of opportunities anyway."
"No, today." I was stubborn again.
I didn't dare to look to my side. I knew he was there, and his familiar voice kept ringing in my ears, the tenderness in his voice that I had felt before, the concentration and love in his expression.
But now, he had given them all to Duo Duo. Perhaps he realized that Duo Duo's life was running out, so he did his best to give her all the missing fatherly love he could. He always brought Duo Duo along with him, and on many occasions, he would bring this illegitimate daughter that the media was guessing about.
The hostility in that child's eyes has disappeared. Now, it is filled with the innocence of a child. I don't know if they are connected to Xiaoyun in private, but it is obvious that Sheng Yun's love has made this little girl extremely happy.
Tai Ziqian also began to teach me to hold my breath, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds... Every time I heard Sheng Yun's voice not far away, I felt like I was going to sink into the water.
