Chapter 563: The Consequences of Marrying Liu Qingqing

Chen Yang did not go directly to meet Hu Shiyou; instead, he first communicated with Hu Haiquan, the son of Hu Shiyou, in the project department of the Commoners Building.

"Chen Yang, you don't need to think too much. Because of the matter of cooperating with the Liu Shi Group, my dad was also criticized by the old master."

"To be honest, the old master is still too stubborn. It's just having an illegitimate child outside—what's the big deal? Not to mention you're now the national richest; even if you're just the richest in Dongjiang Province, as long as you can afford it, building a harem is no problem."

Chen Yang saw Hu Haiquan saying more and more outrageous things, and immediately interrupted him: "Brother Quan, can we stop talking about this? Or tell me what your dad's attitude toward me is?"

Hu Haiquan smiled and asked Chen Yang: "You've been divorced from Lin Wei for so long—has the business here in Deep City been affected?"

Chen Yang shook his head. Precisely because the Commoners Agricultural Products Trading Company's development in Deep City has been going smoothly, he worries that Old Master Hu might one day order Hu Shiyou to interrupt the current upward trend.

"Brother Quan, if the old master insists on doing that to me…, what would your dad choose?"

Hu Haiquan laughed: "Chen Yang, don't think too much. The Commoners Agricultural Products Trading Company and our company are now top-tier enterprises in Deep City. Even if your dad wanted to make things difficult for you, the other city leaders wouldn't agree."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang felt much more at ease. Because Ouyang Sheng's development in Goat City has not been smooth, and handling affairs at government departments often gets inexplicably obstructed. That's why he worries that Deep City might encounter the same treatment.

"Brother Quan, the trading company's development in Goat City has run into some difficulties; could you talk to Lin Wei's uncle and ask him to help smooth things over?"

Hu Haiquan often stays in contact with Zhao Xiaoxiao from the trading company; he actually already knows the situation in Goat City. He sighed and said: "Chen Yang, I can't handle this; we need to get your former mother-in-law, my paternal aunt, to step in."

Chen Yang naturally also wanted to look for Hu Qingwan. The problem is, he had already rejected Lin Wei's remarriage request and even moved out of the house. At this point, he would feel embarrassed to go ask the other side for help.

"Brother Quan, why don't you go to Goat City to be the person in charge there? I'll double your salary and bonus!"

"No way!" Hu Haiquan directly rejected Chen Yang's suggestion. "I'm not good at market expansion, and I don't want to see my paternal uncle's unpleasant face. You'd better find someone else!"

Seeing Hu Haiquan's firm attitude, Chen Yang could only give up the idea of sending him to Goat City. At the same time, he could only pray that Ouyang Sheng could solve the current problem on his own.

At this moment, Hu Haiquan suddenly said to Chen Yang: "I heard you refused to remarry with that girl Lin Wei. Coming to Deep City this time, you aren't planning to marry the Liu family's miss, are you?"

Chen Yang didn't expect the news to spread so quickly; he gave a wry smile and said: "Actually I wanted to marry Liu Qingqing, but I was rejected."

Hu Haiquan lowered his voice and said to Chen Yang: "I advise you to best abandon this idea."

"Why?" Chen Yang looked at Hu Haiquan doubtfully and said: "Could it be that the old master will let you completely turn against me over this?"

Hu Haiquan lightly sighed and said: "Some things, as long as they aren't made public, everyone will tacitly avoid tearing that layer of window paper. Although my dad doesn't approve of the old master's viewpoint, after all he's a Hu, and at critical moments he still has to protect the family's interests."

"Moreover, the boss of the Liu Shi Group might not want to see you two get married. The boss of a prominent publicly listed company actually has his heir as your secret lover. If this were dug up by the media or exposed by someone with ulterior motives, do you think he'd be happy?"

Chen Yang immediately fell silent. After all, he is a Reborn Person, and he's still quite clear about the influence of the media. If his affair with Liu Qingqing were exposed by a tabloid or paparazzi, the consequences would be very serious.

Even if Chen Yang spends money to PR away those negative news, as long as Liu Qingqing continues to show her face in the outside world, the media will still dig it up again.

Given Liu Qingqing's personality, she simply cannot bear that kind of external pressure. That's why she rejected Chen Yang's marriage proposal.

However, Chen Yang also knows very well that paper can't ultimately wrap fire. Unless he starts from now to keep a low profile, completely covering up his richest-person aura, otherwise his affair with Liu Qingqing will eventually be exposed.

Thinking this through, Chen Yang gave up the idea of going to meet Hu Shiyou. After finishing his discussion with Hu Haiquan about the development plan of the Commoners Financial Investment Company in Deep City, he returned to the hotel.

Su Mingyue hadn't left yet, wearing a bathrobe and making a phone call on the sofa. Seeing Chen Yang return, she immediately hung up.

"Who are you talking to on the phone, being so mysterious?"

"Just a friend, you don't know them."

Chen Yang noticed Su Mingyue's eyes were a bit dodgy, thinking she was contacting Zhao Shunfa again. So he walked over, picked up her phone, and glanced at the call log—only to discover that the person she had been talking to was actually Lin Wei!

"Su Mingyue, are you still going undercover for Lin Wei?"

"Chen Yang, this time she didn't ask me to go undercover." Su Mingyue, seeing she couldn't hide it, could only confess: "She hopes I can persuade you to give up the idea of marrying Qingqing."

"You agreed?" Chen Yang thought Lin Wei's thinking was too heaven-defying. She was so decisive when divorcing, yet now she's worried about him marrying Liu Qingqing. What's more outrageous is that she actually had Su Mingyue act as a spokesperson.

Su Mingyue helplessly nodded and said: "I can't refuse. She said if you marry Qingqing, she'll expose all of Qingqing's dirty laundry in public. By then, nobody will have a good time."

Chen Yang actually also guessed that Lin Wei would use this method to retaliate against him. After all, Old Master Hu's people have been monitoring Liu Qingqing for a long time, and they surely have gathered plenty of evidence. He asked Su Mingyue: "Lin Wei had you act as a spokesperson—what benefits did she give you?"

Su Mingyue's pretty face blushed slightly, and she shyly said: "She said she allows me to be your woman."

Chen Yang was quite speechless. It seems Lin Wei also knows about his affair with Su Mingyue, but she's just been pretending not to notice in front of him.

"Su Mingyue, you stupid woman. Haven't you realized that our affair has already been exposed?"

Su Mingyue said with an indifferent expression: "Let it be exposed. You're single now, and being with me is normal male-female interaction. If you two ever remarry, I can step aside."

Chen Yang was amused by Su Mingyue's words. "Su Mingyue, are you sick? Who would just hand over their beloved like that!"

Su Mingyue leaned her head on Chen Yang's shoulder and softly said: "I don't want to either, but I can't beat her!"

Chen Yang instantly empathized. Not to mention Su Mingyue can't beat Lin Wei; even he, a seven-foot-tall man, is no match for her.

A woman, what's wrong with learning something decent—she insists on learning martial arts.

Although Lin Wei always measures her moves, he still finds it annoying to be long-term suppressed by a woman.
