Chapter 121: The Sky Is About to Change

Fugui District, Chen Family Villa.

The Fu Lang family ushered in an ordinary morning.

Ever since Gao Huiwen was cured by Chen Che, her complexion had been getting better and better lately, and her life as a full-time housewife at home was also very comfortable.

She wore her loungewear, wrapped in an apron, humming a tune, and prepared breakfast as usual.

During this time, the father and daughter, Fu Lang and Fu Yanyan, got up one after another, washed up and got dressed, then sat at the dining table and began to eat breakfast.

After Gao Huiwen finished her chores, she also sat down to eat. Seeing her daughter looking like she hadn't woken up yet, she chided, "Stayed up late again yesterday? How many times have I told you?!"

Fu Yanyan, with no ladylike demeanor, sat on the chair with her legs crossed, a piece of bread hanging from her mouth, and said with sleepy eyes, "I'm preparing for my foreign language exam, I don't dare to slack off for even a moment."

"That doesn't mean you can stay up too late."

Gao Huiwen added sugar to her daughter's soy milk and placed it in front of her.

Suddenly remembering something, she said to her husband beside her, "Yanyan's school is confirmed, so when should we call Xiao Che back to have a meal together?

That child hasn't been back once since he went out that day, and he doesn't even know how to make a phone call."

"Xiao Che has big things to do," Fu Lang said, taking a sip of soy milk.

"I know he's been busy investigating his father's affairs, but this is his home after all; it's not right to never come home."

Gao Huiwen frowned, with the tone of a mother blaming her son for forgetting his home now that he was grown up.

Upon hearing Chen Che being discussed, Fu Yanyan was instantly no longer sleepy; she even quietly put her legs down and drank her soy milk in small sips.

"Alright, I'll give him a call in a while,"

Fu Lang said.

"Exactly, when he comes back, you ask him about his and Yanyan's affairs. If he has no objections, then let's set their wedding date before Yanyan goes abroad."

Gao Huiwen said with high spirits.

"Pfft!"

The father and daughter were so startled that they both spat out a mouthful of soy milk at the same time.

Gao Huiwen was taken aback and hurriedly grabbed tissues for the two of them: "Is there any need to be so surprised?"

"Mom, don't talk nonsense. Chen Che-gege and I aren't in that kind of relationship yet."

Fu Yanyan said, her face full of shyness.

"Stop pretending with me! And you too, Xiao Che is busy and has no time, but you don't even know how to take the initiative to contact him; how will that work?"

Gao Huiwen said with a serious face: "How about this, when he comes back, your father and I will create an opportunity for you. You should dress up beautifully then, and change into some sexy clothes."

"Oh, Mom!"

Fu Yanyan was so shy that her face turned beet red, and she couldn't even eat her meal.

"What are you shy about? I'm helping you!"

Gao Huiwen continued: "If you don't know how to please a man, Mom will teach you."

"Mom, stop talking nonsense, it's so embarrassing! Besides, Chen Che-gege doesn't like my type."

Fu Yanyan's pretty face was flushed with shyness, and a hint of bitterness showed in her bright eyes.

"Doesn't like your type? Then what type does he like? Or what style?"

Gao Huiwen looked at Fu Yanyan with a very serious face.

Fu Yanyan thought for a moment and stammered, "It should be... something like... master and servant... that kind of thing..."

"Oh~"

Gao Huiwen nodded, indicating she understood: "That's simple, when he comes back, you just change into a maid outfit."

Hearing this, Fu Yanyan was so shy that she slumped directly onto the table: "Mom, stop talking!"

"What's the big deal? When I was young, my qipao was slit all the way to my armpits. If you're shy, you'll lose your man!"

Gao Huiwen used herself as an example, earnestly educating Fu Yanyan.

"Alright, what kind of nonsense are you teaching our daughter all day long?"

Fu Lang couldn't listen anymore and spoke up to stop her.

Gao Huiwen put her hands on her hips and said crossly, "You have the nerve to lecture me? Men all say one thing but do another. Do you want me to take out the clothes you bought me yesterday and show them to our daughter? Just so she knows what kind of hobbies her father has!"

Fu Lang's old face turned red, and he hurriedly buried his head in his food, playing the ostrich, unable to hear or see anything.

Fu Yanyan also covered her ears and sped up her eating.

Seeing that neither father nor daughter made a sound, Gao Huiwen also began to eat.

"Boom!"

However, before they had eaten two bites, a loud noise came from the villa's front door, giving all three of them a fright.

"What is it now?"

Gao Huiwen knitted her brows, put down the bread in her hand, and got up to open the door.

"Boom!"

Another loud noise, and the front door was smashed open; Jing Yan and Yan Zhen, who were guarding outside, flew in at the same time.

Ever since the Qian Family affair ended, they had been arranged to stay here to protect the safety of the Fu Lang family.

Seeing these two people fly in, the three members of the Fu Lang family were all filled with astonishment.

Yan Zhen was already dead, his body covered in dense bullet holes.

Jing Yan's legs were also broken; he was covered in blood, lying on the ground with a painful and ferocious expression, shouting at the three of them with all his might: "Quickly notify Mr. Chen!"

"Bang!"

This time it was a gunshot.

The bullet shot into the back of Jing Yan's head, and his entire head exploded instantly.

Du Chuan walked in slowly, followed by a dozen soldiers from the Inspection Department holding guns, who swarmed into the villa together.

Du Chuan first lowered his head to take a look at Jing Yan and Yan Zhen on the ground, ensuring they were thoroughly dead.

Afterward, he looked at the terrified Fu Lang and his family, smiling gently: "Mr. Fu Lang, may I trouble you to borrow your phone?"

………

The Cheng Family.

"Tomorrow is the seventieth birthday of the Zhang Family's old patriarch. The Zhang Family has sent an invitation. Everyone put aside what you are doing tomorrow; our whole family will attend."

At the dinner table, the Cheng Family Patriarch, Cheng Honglin, instructed.

Hearing this, Cheng Kexin and Cheng Kexiang exchanged a meaningful glance.

"Kexin."

Cheng Honglin instructed Cheng Kexin again, "Especially you. You have a marriage contract with Young Master Zhang, so don't bring any irrelevant people with you tomorrow."

"Grandfather, you promised that as long as we completed the Yanyu Group's investment in the Cheng Family, you would no longer interfere with my marriage."

Cheng Kexin said with a dark face.

"Obtaining the investment was just because you were lucky, and while I did promise not to participate in the marriage, I never said I would help you cancel the engagement."

Cheng Honglin looked at Cheng Kexin and said.

"Grandfather, how can you go back on your word!?"

Cheng Kexiang was indignant and shouted.

"Kexiang, you are not allowed to speak to your grandfather like that!"

Cheng Weijun scolded, "Aren't you going to apologize to your grandfather yet?!"

"I'm not wrong!" Cheng Kexiang pursed her lips and refused to apologize.

Cheng Kexin looked at Cheng Honglin and asked: "Also, does the 'irrelevant person' Grandfather mentioned refer to Chen Che?"

"It's good that you understand."

Cheng Honglin said dismissively.

"Grandfather, I have already told you about my situation with Chen Che. I have long been his woman, so I will not have any relationship with Zhang Shouhang anymore. I will go to the Zhang Family tomorrow, but not as Zhang Shouhang's fiancée."

Cheng Kexin said decisively.

"I have said it many times; your marriage to Zhang Shouhang is not just a matter between the two of you, but a matter between the Cheng Family and the Zhang Family."

Cheng Honglin said: "I admit that Chen Che is very outstanding and has done me a favor. But compared to the Zhang Family, he is still a bit lacking to be my grandson-in-law."

Cheng Weijun also said: "Kexin, for the sake of the big picture, you cannot be willful."

Hou Huili looked at Cheng Honglin and Cheng Weijun with disappointment, then advised Cheng Kexin: "Daughter, I have always stood on your side regarding your marriage with the Zhang Family, but I hope you will also be cautious about your affair with Chen Che. To be blunt, Mom also doesn't want Chen Che to be my son-in-law."

"Mom, thank you. And I believe that if you knew the real Chen Che, you would definitely like him."

Cheng Kexin smiled at her mother.

The Zhang Family was currently a fire pit and a ticking time bomb; Cheng Kexin would absolutely not have any relationship with Zhang Shouhang again.

Moreover, Zhang Shouhang was already crippled, and the Zhang Family might already be planning how to deal with the Cheng Family, so tomorrow would definitely not be as simple as just celebrating a birthday.

It was just that this matter also involved Du Chuan and was too complicated; she had no way to tell her family, and even if she did, they might not believe her.

All she could do now was wait for Chen Che to wake up to know the plan for what came next.

The atmosphere at the dinner table dropped to freezing point; everyone ate in silence, not saying a word.

At this moment, Cheng Kexin's phone rang. She took it out and looked at it, instantly turning pale with shock. Realizing something, she immediately dropped her chopsticks and sprinted out.

Watching Cheng Kexin's hurried back, Cheng Kexiang rolled her eyes and chased after her, leaving Cheng Honglin, Cheng Weijun, and Hou Huili looking bewildered.

………

Yanyu Group, Shanghai branch building.

Inside the office, Ma Zijun was listening to Lin Su report on the recent situation at home.

"Ding—"

At this moment, Lin Su's phone rang; it was a call from the branch manager, Li Jiangbei.

After finishing the call, Lin Su's face was grave as she immediately reported to Ma Zijun: "Young Master, Li Jiangbei said our company has been reported. People from the economic department have already arrived at the company lobby to investigate our accounts!"

Hearing this, Ma Zijun's expression froze, and he was shocked.

Seeing Ma Zijun lower his head in thought, Lin Su was the first to voice her guess: "Young Master, could it be that the Zhang Family and Du Chuan have made their move?"

Ma Zijun looked up and said: "You are right. They are doing this to stall me so I cannot interfere with their next plan. It seems they are still wary of the Ma Family."

"Then what should we do next?"

Lin Su asked.

"I will stay to cooperate with the investigation. You go to the Qibao Association now, stay there, and listen to Chen Che's instructions."

Ma Zijun decided decisively.

"Yes." Lin Su left.

Ma Zijun stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the office. Outside, dark clouds pressed down on the city, dim and suffocating.

Shanghai is about to change!
