Chapter 411 Kidnapped
Marriages in wealthy families have always been complicated.

If you want to live a carefree life, learn from Hua Sanshao, never marry, and be a groom every night; or you can learn from Liu Cixin, having many mistresses on the side, but paying special attention to quality.

Compared to them, Xiao Wang is not up to par.

Xiao Wang's antics are certainly exciting and captivating; he's the "national husband" in the eyes of many women and the envy of many men.

But neither Chen Yanxi nor Chen Yanjin would allow their younger brother to become that kind of person.

That's so disgraceful!
A large family that loses its principles and reputation will inevitably be punished sooner or later. This is an age-old truth, and history has already taught us too many lessons.

Chen Fan has a terrible reputation abroad.

Financial reaper, financial devil, executioner... British media called him: the person who harmed Britain the most since World War II.

Domestically, even without external publicity, Chen Fan enjoys an excellent reputation in the eyes of the authorities; he is a patriotic businessman and a philanthropist.

During all the stock market crashes, Chen Fan never initiated any profit-taking in China. Instead, he paved the way for his children, so that even if they made minor mistakes in the future, everyone would turn a blind eye.

Instead of directly going out and cleaning up the mess!
Chen Yanjin was angry because Xiao Wu didn't care about his reputation. He had already disciplined him once in high school, but Xiao Wu still didn't learn his lesson.

In today's internet age, people are more restless, and even the slightest bad rumor can be amplified infinitely. Acting recklessly will only cause a family crisis.

Let's see how the Huo family does it.

After Mr. Huo passed away, both the eldest and youngest Huo brothers have been actively working to improve the family's reputation. The youngest Huo is currently pursuing the diving queen, and once they get married, the family's prestige will rise even higher.

They kicked Xiao Wu out, and the rest of the group made tea in the living room.

Zhou Jingshu poured a glass of cool water and, taking advantage of her second brother's inattention, quickly took it outside to give to Xiao Wu: "Drink it quickly, or you'll get heatstroke."

"Thank you, sis!"

Chen Yanche took the drink and drank it in large gulps: "Go inside. Chen Lao Er is really angry this time. He won't have any peace until he suffers this time."

Zhou Jingshu smiled and took the water glass: "You should think about it carefully. As a child of the Chen family, you are born with responsibilities on your shoulders."

"I know!" Chen Yanche sighed.

I deserved the beating I got today. I always thought I was still young and could play for a few more years, but I never thought I would ruin my family's reputation.

Second Aunt spent her whole life doing charity work and building her family's reputation, but he did the opposite. No wonder Second Brother was angry.

The mother and stepmother also spent a lot of money on charitable projects. Back then, in order to win the Grand Bauhinia Medal, they did not hesitate to mortgage the company to fight a financial war.

It's all for the sake of the family's reputation.

Just as I was pondering this, I heard my third brother's voice again: "Little Wu, how long have you been standing? You're covered in sweat. Okay, take a break."

"The two inside are still keeping an eye on things."

Chen Yanche looked at Gao Lu with a disgruntled expression and said, "This must be my third sister-in-law, right? Alright, you two hurry up and go inside, don't leave her out in the sun."

"I'll plead for you," Chen Yancheng sighed.

As he led Gao Lu inside, Gao Lu whispered in his ear, "Chen Yancheng, he just called me 'Third Sister-in-law,' why don't you explain?"

Chen Yancheng paused slightly, then took Gao Lu's hand and led her inside: "Explain? What the hell am I supposed to explain? He didn't call me by the wrong name."

Gao Lu blushed and raised the corners of her mouth.

As he entered the living room, he saw everyone looking at him with amusement, and his face turned even redder. Chen Yancheng, on the other hand, casually pulled him down to sit: "Why are you looking at us?"

"How long has Xiao Wu been standing here? He seems quite sincere, that's enough."

Chen Yanxi glared at him: "Stop covering for him. He needs to know his mistake today. Where's Lao Si? He didn't come back with you."

Chen Yancheng nodded and said, "It's in the next courtyard. A customer just came over and wants to buy some jadeite and Hetian jade mountain material."

"I'll go help Fourth Sister."

Zhou Jingshu immediately got up, poured herself another glass of water, and went to the yard to give it to Xiao Wu: "Wait here, I'll go get you some reinforcements."

After saying that, he went out.

First, go to courtyard number 15 to find Chen Yi, and then go to courtyard number 17 to find Chen Yanyin.

When Chen Yi arrived and saw his nephew covered in sweat, he immediately frowned and said, "How long have you been standing? Alright, come inside and rest with me."

Entering the living room, he immediately grabbed Chen Yanxi's ear: "You brat, you think you're so tough? You're treating your brother like a Japanese devil."

Chen Yanxi screamed, "Auntie, it's the second son!"

Chen Yi picked up a feather duster and smacked Chen Yanjin twice: "What kind of older brother are you? Letting your younger brother stand outside in the scorching summer sun."

“Aunt…” Chen Yanjin shrank back.

Chen Yi's eyes widened, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Go get Xiao Wu a drink, an iced one."

"Okay!" Chen Yanjin got up and left.

Auntie came over, but there was no way she could discipline Xiao Wu. For six years, through junior and senior high school, Auntie had been his tutor and doted on him the most. A little while later, she came over with a drink and handed it to Xiao Wu: "Stay home for a day, and we'll go to Hong Kong together the day after tomorrow to make an appearance."

Chen Yanche touched his nose: "Second brother, I'm still young, I have a few years before graduation, so there's no rush to show up, right? You guys can go."

Chen Yanjin glared at him: "It's Dad's decision, aren't you going to give it a try? Besides showing up, there's also a financial war to fight, let me show you what it's like."

"Stop spending all your time on money and not knowing how to make it. You're about to be a sophomore in college. Have you thought about what you want to do after you graduate?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yanche shrank back: "Not yet, don't worry, I'll definitely find my direction before I graduate from university."

With her aunt present, Chen Yanjin couldn't say anything harsh, so she could only shake her head and say, "Alright, take your time thinking about it. Go take a shower and change your clothes; you're covered in sweat."

Chen Yanche felt as if he had been granted a pardon and got up to leave.

Chen Lao Er was clearly still angry. If it weren't for his aunt being there, he could still manage to calm himself down. If he didn't leave, he would just be asking for trouble.

The brothers and sisters chatted for a while, and then went their separate ways.

Back in the room, Ye Wan teased, "Chen Yanjin, you've bullied Xiao Wu quite a bit, haven't you?"

"Can we just leave him alone? Being his older brother is exhausting! His temperament is still developing, and he could cause trouble at any time, so we have to keep an eye on him," Chen Yanjin sighed.

Having just met Xiao Wu, Ye Wan offered no comment.

Instead, I recalled something Chen Yanjin had just said: "You said that the fourth brother is still single, but why didn't you say that the eldest sister is also single?"

"Who told you that the older sister is single?"

"Isn't that right?" Ye Wan asked in surprise.

Chen Yanjin slapped his forehead, realizing, "Oh, right, I haven't told you yet, my older sister has a boyfriend, and they've been dating for several years."

"Why haven't I seen him yet?"

“My brother-in-law is a civil servant. He’s been sent to work at the grassroots level for two years. If we calculate the time, he should be back by the end of the year,” Chen Yanjin explained.

"I knew it! With your beauty, how could you not have a boyfriend? You can't find many female celebrities in the entertainment industry who are prettier than you."

“That’s true!” Chen Yanjin agreed.

The eldest sister's appearance is just like her aunt's; she is the most beautiful and charming. Starting from junior high school, a bunch of little brats wrote her love letters, which her brother-in-law used to wipe his bottom.

Because of this, my brother-in-law has gotten into many fights.

Meanwhile, Gao Lu returned to her room, a happy smile on her face. After pursuing Chen Yancheng for four years, she had finally won him over today.

You bastard, you've been lying to yourself for four years!

Now that she's won him over, Gao Lu has only one thought in mind: to settle scores and give Chen Laosan a good beating.

"Chen Yancheng, he's been arrogant for four years!"

"Let's see how arrogant you are now. I'll definitely have you completely under my thumb."

After chuckling to herself for a while, Gao Lu finally remembered her business and quickly took out her phone: "Hey, Dad, um... I need to tell you something."

"Honey, what's wrong? Did something happen to you? If you did, don't suffer in silence. Let's go straight back to Hangzhou. Or should Dad come pick you up?"

"Dad, what are you saying?"

Gao Lu coughed lightly and chuckled, "My relationship with Chen Yancheng is settled."

Gao Yalou breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Then find some time to bring him back, and Dad will arrange a job for him. He can start his own business if he wants."

Gao Lu scratched her head, looking dejected. "Dad, there's something else. The situation isn't what I thought. I think... no, I really have been deceived by Chen Yancheng."

"We were lied to?" Gao Yalou asked nervously.

Gao Lu nodded: "He's been pretending to be poor all along. He's not a poor student at all. His family owns several courtyard houses in Beijing."

"What the hell?" Gao Yalou was stunned.

Gao Lu smiled wryly: "It's true. All the courtyards in the alley belong to his family. Also, the Feixing mobile phones that our family uses belong to his family."

"Wait a minute, let me sort this out!"

Gao Yalou scratched his head vigorously for a while before saying, "So, you took a fancy to a poor student, pursued her relentlessly for four years, and ended up winning over a rich prince?"

Is that what you mean?

“That’s right!” Gao Lu nodded.

"Daughter, I need to calm down first, this doesn't make sense!"

Gao Yalou hung up the phone and shook his head vigorously: "Wife, come quickly, something terrible has happened, our daughter is about to be kidnapped."
