Beijing-Hong Kong Confession

Chapter 137: Morning Heat Rising (5)

Zhu Xia tilted his head to investigate.

As expected, the leisurely wandering wind had subsided, and the mist-like light enveloped his tough outline, making him look solemn, while his ambiguous eyes were accurately cast at a place not far away.

The woman who was chatting and laughing with Liang Yiying, wearing a red dress, with delicate shoulders and a pair of charming and enchanting fox eyes, was none other than his ex-wife Shang Qiao.

When Zhu Xia learned that You Feng was going to attend the banquet, he understood the reason. Therefore, he was not surprised now. After all, the madman was a proud ghost who said one thing and meant another.

He Chuyin stood on Liang Yiying's left hand side and was the first to notice Zhu Xia looking at them. Her eyes instantly curved into a crescent shape:

"Miss Zhu."

Hearing this, Shang Qiao and Liang Yiying headed in the direction He Chuyin pointed. They only saw Zhu Xia and You Feng, but no trace of Shang Xun and Zhou Mo.

Shang Qiao's pupils shrank rapidly, his gaze fixed on the tall and undisciplined young master. His hand holding the wine glass clenched unconsciously, and his fingertips turned white.

"Aren't you leaving?" Zhu Xia glanced at You Feng, and said in a calm tone with a hint of laziness, "Your ex-wife is here."

You Feng snorted and said arrogantly: "She should leave if she wants to. Why should I leave?"

"Of course it's because Shang Qiao is rich and powerful." Zhu Xia said, "I'm not afraid of my ex getting married and having children, I'm just afraid of her being rich and powerful."

You Feng looked at her sideways, his eyes full of: I am very poor? I just don't want to show off, understand?

In just a few words, they, with completely different styles, had already come up to him.

Shang Qiao looked Zhu Xia and You Feng up and down with a sharp gaze.

"Hello, He Chuyin." He Chuyin's smile bloomed like a flower, clean and sweet.

"You Feng." You Feng stretched out his hand, held He Chuyin's fingertips and gently touched them.

He Chuyin's eyelashes fluttered, and she understood immediately.

You Feng, the abandoned son of the You family, the ex-husband of Shang Qiao's sister, and Shang Xun's mortal enemy.

He Chuyin said: "We all know each other, let's play together in the future."

"When did you arrive at the port? Why didn't you tell me?" Shang Qiao's slightly upturned eyes revealed a kind of charm, but she was in charge of the lifeline of the Shang Group and had been immersed in power for seven or eight years. Her every move was oppressive.

She said this while looking at You Feng, with a hint of questioning in her voice.

You Feng curled his lips lightly and said arrogantly: "Am I your dog? I have to say hello to you wherever I go."

"Do you have to talk to me like this?" Shang Qiao said with a frown.

You Feng sneered: "What else? You want me to be grateful?"

The two of them locked eyes, neither of them giving way. They were not like ex-wives or ex-husbands, but more like old enemies, yet they had a bond that was difficult to explain.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

He Chuyin was surprised.

Sometimes, someone came to curry favor with her and talk to her. She glanced at the indifferent You Feng, and said sorry to the three girls as if nothing had happened, and left first.

Not long after Shang Qiao left, Zhu Xia glanced at You Feng, and You Feng said he was going out to smoke a cigarette.

There were only three girls left. He Chuyin smiled, revealing half of her dimples, and said sweetly, "What a magical old couple."

I wish you a happy summer.

This old couple is too old.

Liang Yiying had been busy as a bride all day, but she did not look tired at all. She held the diamond ring on her ring finger and said to Zhu Xia:

"Sumer, I didn't see much of you during the day at the wedding."

Liang Yiying's wedding was very lively, with many brothers and sisters from her family and He Chuyin as the bridesmaid. Zhu Xia did not go to see the bride. When Liang Yiying put the wedding ring on He Mingliang, she glanced sideways and saw Zhu Xia sitting quietly in the corner.

Zhu Xia chose a position where she could see the overall situation clearly. She was waiting for He Wensheng to return with his mother. Gao Ang said, “Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. I will fight to the death with the He family!”

In the end, I didn’t even hear He Wensheng’s name.

He Jihua, He Yanmin, Cen Shu, He Chuyin and other members of the He family attended the wedding as normal.

If there was anything unusual... it was that no one from the Jiang family was present. Logically speaking, although He Mingliang had no blood relationship with the Jiang family, the Jiang family was a relative of the He family after all, so they had to send one or two people to deal with the matter.

But it didn't.

It doesn't fit the He family's style at all.

Different from the bustling and complex luxury yachts, the Jiang Mansion located in the mid-mountain area is solemn and dignified.

The origin of the story was that Jiang Yao, who had been away from home for many years, came back to her parents' home and wanted He Wensheng to attend Mrs. Jiang's 80th birthday celebration openly.

Mrs. Jiang was playing with Farah with a smile on her face an hour ago, but now her brows are slightly gloomy and her face looks stern.

"Why did you come back? Are you disgusted by my old age and want to piss me off to death?"

"You can deny me, but Wen Sheng is innocent. He is your grandson, a blood relative. He has been thinking about his family all these years." Jiang Yao shook her head gently. Her hair was neatly tied up. Her slender neck seemed so fragile that it would break if it was pinched. Her lips trembled slightly. "We two don't ask for your forgiveness. We just hope you can give Wen Sheng a chance, a chance to reunite with his family."

When she learned about the scandal between Jiang Yao and He Yanting, Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she was admitted to the hospital. There was no way she could accept He Yanting.

Grandpa He and Mrs. Jiang were both very annoyed. A harmonious family is the key to success. They wanted to solve the problem privately. No matter if it was intentional or not, no matter if it was true love or not, it was wrong. Two good families were messed up like this. But Jiang Yao was unwilling to follow He Yanting without any status, and He Yanting did not want to give up the group.

After two months of repeated disputes, the issue was not resolved. In the end, He Lianzhou took action to resolve the issue, asking them to voluntarily withdraw and give up all interests related to the He and Jiang families, including property inheritance.

This "they" includes He Wensheng.

But they are all ambitious and capable people. How could they really give up the identities of the He and Jiang families and give up their huge business empires?

In order for He Wensheng to recognize his ancestors, the He family has the support of He Yanmin, and at least one person from the Jiang family must support him. Old Mrs. Jiang is old and pays the most attention to family affection and family harmony. She will definitely pity her poor grandson.

Jiang Yao cried and complained, saying how pitiful He Wensheng was when he was a child without any relatives, and how he was despised by children of the same age. He said that when the He and Jiang families reunited, the lonely He Wensheng was taking risks and being hunted down. He said that he prepared gifts for you every year, but he didn't dare to give them to you every year, for fear of making you unhappy...

As Mrs. Jiang listened, her brows furrowed even more.

After Jiang Anyu comforted Farah, he came down and saw Jiang Yao kneeling on the ground, holding old lady Jiang's knees with both hands. Although she was over 50 years old, she still cried with tears in her eyes, which made people feel pity for her.

Old Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but feel compassion, both for Jiang Yao and the grandson she had never met.

Suddenly, the servant came in and whispered, "Madam, Mr. He is here."
