A good night's sleep. In his dreams, Lin Guoqing seemed to still hear the sound of knocking. He held his pillow to his ears, unable to hear, unable to hear, and continued to sleep.
He woke up the next day, it was already past nine o'clock. Fortunately, no one liked to get up early, and there was nothing important to do, so they slept until they woke up naturally.
He went downstairs for breakfast. The hotel had a buffet, so he ate whatever he wanted. Lin Guoqing was still thrifty by nature. He had been hungry since he was a child. People of this era had lived through hard times and rarely wasted food.
Du Feiyang was sitting on the sofa, and he looked at him strangely.
Eating a fried egg and drinking a glass of milk, he asked him, "Why are you looking at me like that? Brother Du, have you finished eating?"
"I've eaten, you eat by yourself. Do you know what happened last night?"
"Something else happened? I slept until now. How would I know? Tell me quickly, it's good with the meal."
"It's definitely good with the meal. You probably won't be able to eat after hearing it."
Lin Guoqing became even more curious. He finished his breakfast in a few bites, got hiccups from swallowing, and listened while drinking juice.
"That woman last night asked for help again. Coincidentally, she found Liu Kai, and then Liu Kai agreed to help her and spent the night in his room. You ponder, you ponder carefully, how many things can happen in one night."
"This Liu Kai, isn't he taking advantage of someone's distress? Not a man at all."
"That's not the point. The point is, do you know who that woman's boyfriend is?"
"Who?"
"Mr. Di Rang."
"Pfft!"
Lin Guoqing actually spat out his juice this time. "It's him? Then isn't Liu Kai dead set against him?"
"So it's heaven helping me. Liu Kai is digging his own grave. This really has nothing to do with us, right?"
Lin Guoqing didn't know how to feel. If he had softened his heart and helped that woman, he would be the one in trouble now, and his cooperation with Di Rang would also fall through. How could he face his brother-in-law?
This incident gave him a great lesson. Xie Sui didn't lecture him; letting him experience it himself was more effective than countless lectures.
After that, Lin Guoqing was extremely cautious with women. Except for his wife, there were no messy women. Outsiders thought it was due to Xie Sui's influence, but in fact, it was this experience that made him deeply realize that women were troublesome to get involved with, and women who threw themselves at him all represented trouble.
Just then, Liu Kai, dejected, came in from outside. He was also staying at this hotel. After all, it was the only high-end hotel in the city.
"Oh, Young Master Liu, what's wrong? You look like a rooster that lost a fight first thing in the morning. Did you lose to someone over a hen?
It's not that I'm lecturing you, but women are the root of all evil. When you're out and about, you should manage your own little desires better."
Du Feiyang mocked him relentlessly. Lin Guoqing felt he was going too far. Any man would have lost his temper.
As expected, Liu Kai said angrily, "I don't need you to tell me what to do. Don't get smug, you'll have your time to cry."
"You won't see me cry, but I can see you cry."
Liu Kai didn't argue with him. It was too embarrassing. He walked away full of anger.
Lin Guoqing said, "Brother Du, why do you keep provoking him? Aren't you making an enemy? Didn't you say to plant more flowers and fewer thorns, and to be kind to others?"
"Oh, silly brother, you have to see who you're dealing with. For someone like Liu Kai, who is like a grasshopper after autumn, you have to stomp on him and bully him. Anyway, it's free to bully him, you get to feel good, and it's for fun.
When I say be kind to others, I mean strangers. If you're kind to everyone all day, life is too boring. You have to stomp on them when you should, bully them, and have a laugh."
Lin Guoqing: "..."
Can it be like this?
"Isn't this bad?"
"What's bad about it? You don't need to be soft on enemies. If you don't bully them for free, why not? I'll call A Chao, and he'll definitely praise me.
The guy surnamed Liu betrayed Miss Guan. A Zhao has wanted to kill him for a long time. This guy is the worst. He said so many good things back then, chasing Miss Guan like a love poet, but in reality, he had a string of women. Now he's even provoked Di Rang's woman. This is the consequence of not being able to control his lower body."
He really called He Mengchao. He Mengchao said, "What happens to him has nothing to do with us anymore. You be careful too, don't let him jump over the wall in a hurry and attack you."
"I know. Don't you want to see him miserable?"
"I'm living happily with Zhizhi now, and my career is going well. The He family has asked me to manage their overseas industries, and I'm considering it. Where would I have time to care if he's miserable or not?
The more you care about him, the more you give him face. Don't be so boring. I'm hanging up. Come back quickly, we're having a wedding and you're the best man."
"Holy crap, so soon?"
"It has to be soon. Zhizhi is pregnant, and I have to be responsible for her."
He Mengchao's smugness was hidden in his words. Du Feiyang, who had been fed a mouthful of dog food, hung up the phone angrily.
"Is being a dad something to be proud of? It's not like I don't have a girlfriend. I'll propose when I get back, and I'll be a dad too."
Liu Kai returned to his room, furious, smashing cups. He was truly down on his luck; even drinking water got stuck in his throat. Who would have thought that woman was Di Rang's woman?
He really didn't do anything last night. He, Young Master Liu, wouldn't stoop to forcing a woman. Women were always begging him to be with them.
Di Rang clearly didn't believe him. That woman was also a troublemaker. With a look of utter despair, she made Di Rang even angrier.
"Young Master, why don't we go back first?"
The bodyguard suggested. He could clearly see many people lurking outside, their eyes cold and not friendly.
"Go back? Doesn't that mean I'm afraid of them? I'm not going back. I don't believe he would dare to lay a hand on me?"
The bodyguard was helpless. This was their territory. Without lifting a finger, countless accidents could happen. If you wanted someone's life, there were too many ways.
"Of course, they wouldn't dare. It's just that progress here is slow. If the second young master at home and the chairman are not being filial, and you are far away, and the chairman is swayed by his words, we'll have no chance of winning. Su Dan Novel Network.
And those shareholders, your subordinate has heard that the second young master is currently trying to build relationships with them. You are very passive here."
The bodyguard understood his temper. After this persuasion, Liu Kai finally agreed to go back.
That afternoon, they packed their things. The bodyguards deployed all their men, dividing into several routes. No one knew which convoy Liu Kai was in.
In fact, he wasn't in any of the convoys. He was in a private car, heading to the airport.
Liu Kai didn't pay much attention to his caution. Di Rang, no matter how bold he was, wouldn't dare to oppose the Liu family, would he?
He boarded the plane smoothly. Liu Kai said to his bodyguard, "See? Nothing happened. You're just worrying about nothing."
Bodyguard: "It's better to be safe than sorry. It's best if nothing happens, but I still feel uneasy. Intuition is very important. We'll be truly safe when we get to Hong Kong."
The plane took off. Liu Kai felt a bit sleepy and lay down to rest. He heard a beeping sound in his ear and was puzzled. "What's that sound?"
The bodyguard's heart sank. He squatted down and looked, and his soul was instantly scared out of him. A bomb had been placed under the seat.
"Young Master, don't move."
What should they do?
Before the bodyguard could come up with a solution, with a bang, a plane turned into a fireball, and everyone was buried in the flames.
This incident caused a great sensation. Poor Young Master Liu lost his life on an overseas trip.
Afterward, there were no clues. The wreckage of the plane was so burned that it was unrecognizable, and even the ashes couldn't be identified. Liu Zixiong, who lost his son in his later years, aged significantly.
Du Feiyang and Lin Guoqing never expected the matter to end this way. Did they win by lying down?
As for whether Mr. Di Rang was the one who made the move, that remained a secret.
Not long after, Di Rang invited them to a wedding. The bride was that woman. At the wedding, their eyes met, and their gazes were so affectionate they could create sparks. There was no sign of the woman's reluctance.
Lin Guoqing had a solid lesson. Indeed, a woman's face could change as quickly as the weather in July.
In the end, he still couldn't figure out if the woman had been forced or not. Anyway, the two of them had several sons and later moved to Hong Kong, maintaining a good relationship with Xie Sui's family.
Di Rang even wanted his children to intermarry with Xie Sui's children, but Xie Sui didn't think highly of him, and it ended without success.
Liu Zixiong, due to the death of his son, had no energy to guard the Indonesian market. Xie Sui gradually encroached upon it, making it a crucial part of his business empire.
During this business trip, Lin Guoqing grew rapidly. In just over a month, he seemed like a different person.
He used to like exaggerated clothes and accessories, and even wanted to dye his hair yellow. His taste was very "killing馬特" (a derogatory term for a gaudy, outdated style). Xie Sui didn't interfere too much, after all, he was his younger brother-in-law, not his son.
When he returned this time, he wore a suit, looking dignified and generous. His hair was also neatly styled, giving him the appearance of a spirited young man, much more pleasing to the eye.
The two younger sisters, Xiao San and Xiao Si, could barely recognize him. Was this their second uncle?
Lin Wanwan let him stay at home and was very satisfied with his transformation. "This is more like it. You look quite handsome. In the future, I'll introduce you to someone, and you won't scare them away."
"Sister, I'm not in a hurry to find a girlfriend. I want to continue my studies. There are many things I don't understand. I need to read more."
"It's good that you think this way, it means you've matured. Brother-in-law supports you. There are many good universities in Hong Kong, as well as executive programs. You can go for further studies and expand your network."
"Thank you, brother-in-law. You're so good to me."
Xie Sui rolled his eyes at him. "Oh, don't say that. Don't act cute with brother-in-law, I can't handle it."
Lin Guoqing laughed heartily. He really didn't mean to act cute, he was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
Lin Wanwan's belly was even bigger, making it difficult for her to walk. Xie Sui stayed by her side constantly. Her due date was only about a month away. They would book a hospital room and check in, just in case.
Lin Guoqing's return was timely. He could help Xie Sui oversee the company and run errands. With another trustworthy person to help, Xie Sui felt more relieved.
Just as the whole family was waiting for the baby to be born, the arrival of a woman broke the peaceful life again.
Xie Sui's energy was focused on dealing with the Liu family. Real estate was also the Liu family's main industry. Taking advantage of Liu Zixiong's poor mental state, he snatched a few projects. Even if he didn't develop them himself, he could sell them off for a profit, earning some money for the baby's milk powder.
This angered Liu Zixiong to the point of almost spitting blood. He was old, while Xie Sui was young and vigorous, and his career was booming. If there were no other options, he would eventually be surpassed by Xie Sui, and the Liu family wouldn't last long.
