"I didn't know Uncle Liu liked bronzes."

Chu Yang made a casual remark, intending to brush it off.

Liu Shuming was eager to find a way out, and pointed to the Yin Sha Cauldron with a smile.

"In my experience, this tripod is quite extraordinary. Perhaps I should take it to my study and examine it carefully."

In fact, his understanding of bronzes was limited to one word—expensive!

As for the rest, I know nothing.

If he were in front of Chu Yang, he would have to praise the bronze cauldron a few times, but the problem was that he didn't know what to praise.

Chu Yang's lips twitched; this was the first time he had ever heard of someone wanting to "play with" a bronze cauldron.

"Okay, you just need to keep the lid on."

Liu Shuming assumed this was a taboo in the antique world and patted his chest to assure her, "Don't worry! I'm not a novice; I specialize in bronzes. I understand these rules!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang became even more hesitant to hand over the Yin Sha Cauldron to Liu Shuming, glancing at the more reliable Liu Fangfei.

Liu Fangfei immediately understood.

"Don't worry, I'll study it with my dad."

In her opinion, all she had to do was take the tripod to the study and stay there for a few minutes before coming out.

Neither side will feel awkward.

Only then did Chu Yang feel relieved enough to hand the cauldron over to Liu Shuming.

"Feifei, I'm going to the yard to talk to Lao Yun about something. I'll leave the rest to you. Remember, whatever you do, don't open that lid. Remember that! Remember that!"

Liu Fangfei made a playful "OK" gesture. "Don't worry. With me here, everything will be OK."

Chu Yang arrived in the courtyard and waved to Yun Lie, who was diligently keeping watch in the big tree outside.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

"I just want to know about Liang Feiyan. Has she always been the vice president of the Shanghai Green Dragon Society? Tell me everything you know."

Yun Lie's expression immediately turned strange.

"That woman, she's incredibly promiscuous! I've been with her a few times..."

Chu Yang quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no! She's Fei Fei's mother. I don't want to hear such a detailed description."

Yun Lie swallowed hard.

"No, I... I didn't mean that."

Chu Yang rolled his eyes. "Then why did you say you'd been with her several times?"

Yun Lie waved his hands repeatedly, "I mean, I've had a few encounters with her. I swear, I've never even touched her hand. And as far as I know, although she seems to be quite ambiguous with many men, it's all just superficial."

"She is extremely obsessed with improving her martial arts skills, and it is said that she has spent countless amounts of money on this over the years. But I suspect that she has been scammed most of it."

Seeing that Yun Lie seemed to be telling the truth, Chu Yang nodded.

"Tell me in more detail."

From the moment Liang Feiyan tricked Long Niu Fangzhang away, Chu Yang had already been considering how to deal with this "mother-in-law".

Meanwhile, in Liu Shuming's study.

Liu Fangfei crossed her arms and was "educating" her father.

"I'm not trying to be mean, but you're a grown man, how could you do something like this? Yang-ge isn't stingy; if he really wanted to give you something, wouldn't he have said so?"

Liu Shuming looked like a primary school student who had made a mistake, with her head hanging low and a wronged expression.

"I just really like Xiaoyang. I was happy to see him and said something extra."

Liu Fangfei wanted to say a few more words of criticism when her phone screen lit up with Su Wanning's office phone number.

"I'm going out to answer the phone. Be good and don't open the cover."

"Hey! I'm a grown man, how can I be so immature? Go ahead."

Liu Fangfei entered the living room.

"Wan Ning, you haven't gotten off work yet?"

"Feifei, guess who I saw?"

Liu Fangfei was completely bewildered. "How am I supposed to guess?"

Su Wanning took a deep breath and said, "You said you had something to do at home today, so you didn't come to the company. The Ministry of Commerce received a request to contact Northern Group."

Liu Fangfei was also quite surprised.

"The Northern Group is a very famous and powerful company. They've proactively sought cooperation with us?"

"Yes, but the key point is that the people who came to discuss cooperation were wearing masks."

Upon hearing this, Liu Fangfei exclaimed, "Ah!" and then asked, "Ai Qiandao?"

"Yes, yes, that's him!"

Upon hearing Su Wanning's answer, Liu Fangfei was stunned, her head buzzing.

She knew that the previous Ai Qiandao was actually Chu Yang in disguise.

Could this be the real Ai Qiandao?

If that's the case, what exactly is Ai Qiandao's purpose?

The Northern Group and the Su-Liu Alliance are not even in the same league. The fact that the Northern Group took the initiative to approach them is itself suspicious.

She subconsciously reminded him, "Wan Ning, you need to be careful. I think he has ulterior motives."

Su Wanning scoffed, "Feifei, don't always think so badly of people. He's helped us a lot lately. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have been able to get the Diamond Bay reclamation project, we wouldn't even have been qualified to bid."

"Moreover, he is not the kind of person who is ambitious or seeks fame and fortune. Even now, he refuses to admit that he was the one supporting him behind the scenes; he has only been making quiet contributions."

Liu Fangfei put one hand to her forehead, feeling speechless.

"Wan Ning, haven't you ever considered that that project only ended up with us because of Chu Yang?"

Su Wanning said firmly, "Impossible! He's only been in Donghai for a few days, and besides being aggressive and ruthless, he has no other skills. Without a powerful background, how could he influence such a large project? Give me a reason!"

Liu Fangfei sighed helplessly, "What are you planning to do? Are you going to offer yourself to me?"

Su Wanning on the other end of the phone suddenly lowered her voice and said, "I'm not talking to you anymore, people have been waiting too long. I'll definitely bring you good news from this negotiation."

Liu Fangfei's head was still buzzing as she stared at the phone that had been hung up.

"Is my man about to be cheated on?"

"No! I have to tell Brother Yang."

She rushed out in a panic, only to bump right into Chu Yang as he entered.

Chu Yang held the soft, delicate body in his arms and teased, "So eager?"

Liu Fangfei waved her little fist and punched Chu Yang in the chest.

"What time is it? You're still joking! Your wife is really going to cheat on you this time."

Chu Yang was immune to this kind of "boy who cried wolf" story.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. Although half of Wan Ning's personality looks down on me, I still trust her character."

Seeing Chu Yang's confident demeanor, Liu Fangfei was so angry that she bit his hand.

"I've known her since kindergarten! You're comparing yourself to me?"

Chu Yang rubbed the back of his hand with an exaggerated expression, grimacing.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Tell me why!"

Liu Fangfei gave Chu Yang a knowing look and rolled her eyes.

"Don't let her cold demeanor fool you; she's got a fiery temper inside. And we women are naturally drawn to strength, and she's no exception. Do you know who she's with now?"

Chu Yang checked the time. "I know. She called me when she came and said that people from the Northern Group were coming to the company to discuss cooperation."

Liu Fangfei narrowed her eyes and gently poked Chu Yang's chest with her finger.

"You'd better watch your step. The person who went to the company for negotiations today was—Ai Qiandao!"
