After leaving his father behind, the son of a prominent figure in Beijing's elite circles has g

The Lu family's old residence.

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Bai Yuxiu glanced at her phone screen in disbelief. Confirming the call had ended, she said angrily and incredulously, "She actually dared to hang up on me? She must have a death wish!"

Lu Xingyao came downstairs dressed in her finest attire. Song Shiyan was coming to the old house for dinner tonight, and she had spent a long time getting ready. "Mom, who hung up on you?"

Bai Yuxiu gritted her teeth: "Rong Zheng!"

Lu Xingyao's smile vanished instantly. "She's become increasingly unruly because my brother spoils her. Mom, you have to teach her a lesson this time!"

Bai Yuxiu had the same idea, but... "Not tonight, Shi Yan is here."

"Then let's bear with it for now, don't cause trouble. We'll deal with her after Brother Song leaves!"

Lu Xingyao already looked down on Rong Zheng, but Rong Zheng made her lose face in front of Song Shiyan time and time again. She remembered the time when she made tea and the time at the hospital a few days ago. Now that she finally caught Rong Zheng red-handed, she would never let it go!

"Okay." Bai Yuxiu nodded in agreement, "But how should I deal with her? She's so shameless. Every time I scold her, she pretends to be deaf and dumb and doesn't say a word. I have nowhere to vent my anger."

Lu Xingyao thought for a moment, then whispered something in Bai Yuxiu's ear.

Bai Yuxiu's eyes lit up as she listened, and she nodded repeatedly, "Okay, let's do it that way."

Dinner time at the old house is six o'clock.

Rong Zheng arrived ten minutes early. When she entered the living room, she saw Song Shiyan and Lu Yunshan playing chess, while Bai Yuxiu and Lu Xingyao were sitting on the sofa playing on their phones. When the mother and daughter saw her enter, the former pretended not to see her, while the latter rolled her eyes.

Rong Zheng ignored them and didn't disturb Lu Yunshan and Song Shiyan's chess game. Instead, she found a place to sit down, glancing at the door and the time every now and then.

Anyone could see that she was waiting for Lu Peichuan.

But everyone assumed it was because the couple had a good relationship and missed each other after a short time apart.

Little did she know, Rong Zheng was afraid that if Lu Peichuan didn't come, she wouldn't find an opportunity to get him to sign the divorce papers.

Two minutes before six o'clock, footsteps were heard outside, and soon Lu Peichuan appeared at the door.

Rong Zheng instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Very good, she brought the divorce agreement. As soon as Song Shiyan leaves, she will bring up the divorce in front of Lu Yunshan, Bai Yuxiu, and Lu Xingyao. Anyway, none of them like her, so they will definitely persuade Lu Peichuan to sign it.

After finishing their meal, Rong Zheng waited for Song Shiyan to say he was leaving, but instead heard him say, "Pei Chuan, come to the study."

Lu Peichuan got up and followed.

Rong Zheng watched the two figures go upstairs one after the other. The scene was harmonious, like brothers being affectionate and respectful. Fortunately, she was smart and did not bring up the matter of divorce in front of Song Shiyan.

study.

After seeing Song Shiyan sit down on the sofa, Lu Peichuan sat down opposite him. "Big brother, did you need something?"

Song Shiyan didn't rush to speak. He took out a cigarette from the pack, tilted his head slightly, and lit it.

Bluish-white smoke swirled in the air.

Lu Peichuan looked at the aloof man across from him through the smoke, feeling a little nervous.

Song Shiyan was taken back by his grandfather when he was 15 years old and was considered an adopted son of the Lu family. He was 13 years old at the time.

Before Song Shiyan arrived, his grandfather was grooming him to be the heir of the Lu family. But after Song Shiyan arrived, his grandfather's focus shifted, and he began to value Song Shiyan highly.

There are even rumors that Song Shiyan will take over the Lu Group in the future.

He once regarded Song Shiyan as a hypothetical enemy, and dared not openly disobey his grandfather and oppose Song Shiyan, but secretly competed with him in every way.

But Song Shiyan didn't take him seriously at all. He was taciturn and did things his own way. Even if Song Shiyan danced right in front of him, he could remain unmoved.

It wasn't until later, when Song Shiyan suddenly recognized his ancestors and became the eldest grandson of the Song family, a top-tier wealthy family in Beijing, that he vaguely realized that perhaps his grandfather had known Song Shiyan's true identity all along.

Song Shiyan's joining the Lu family was likely a case of a young dragon hiding in the abyss, growing up safely to avoid family infighting and secretly cultivating his own power in preparation for a future power grab.

He is like a wolf lurking in the dark, extremely patient and with a clear goal. Once he finds an opportunity, he will leap out and kill his prey with a single blow.

Song Shiyan is a very shrewd and cunning man. He is a mysterious and extremely dangerous person. Unless he reveals himself, no one can tell what he is thinking.

Just like now, he suddenly called him to the study, but when he arrived, he didn't say a word. Under the pressure of his powerful aura, he couldn't remain calm and composed.

Song Shiyan smoked half a cigarette before raising an eyebrow and asking, "You went to Yunqi Villa the other day?"

Lu Peichuan's heart skipped a beat. Did he know that he had gone to Yunqi Manor?

He had originally planned to visit Song Shiyan in Beijing, but Su Qingya came along, so he didn't go.

Now he's suddenly asking what this means?

Was it a casual question, or did I find out something?

Or perhaps you're referring to the fact that Yunqi Mountain Villa didn't let him invest in their shares before?

Lu Peichuan couldn't figure out Song Shiyan's thoughts. "Well, I went to relax with Zhengzheng. I originally planned to visit you, but Zhengzheng got sick there, and I've been taking care of her at the hospital, so I haven't been able to get away."

Song Shiyan nodded slightly.

Seeing that the man's expression was normal, Lu Peichuan felt slightly relieved.

Song Shiyan exhaled a puff of bluish-white smoke and spoke again, "Did the couple have a fight?"

Lu Peichuan was slightly taken aback, not expecting Song Shiyan to care about his personal affairs. However, when he talked to Rong Zheng and served her food, she ignored him. Song Shiyan could tell it was normal. "She's still angry with me because of Tangtang's illness."

Song Shiyan leaned slightly forward, stretched his long arm to the ashtray on the coffee table, and said as he lightly flicked the ash from his cigarette with his well-defined fingers, "You really didn't do things properly."

"I was wrong this time..."

"And last time too," Song Shiyan added casually.

Lu Peichuan was stunned for a moment, recalling the time when Rong Zheng had a massive hemorrhage and he had to kneel in the ancestral hall. He hadn't expected Song Shiyan to have such a good memory. He nodded, "It was my dereliction of duty. This kind of thing won't happen again."

"Business can be re-negotiated if it's gone, but a family is gone..." Song Shiyan stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, stood up, and looked down at Lu Peichuan. "That's it, really gone."

Lu Peichuan was somewhat shocked. He never expected that Song Shiyan, a man who would even turn against his own family in order to seize power, would value family more than career.

He stood up as well, saying, "Brother is right."

Song Shiyan glanced at his watch, then walked towards the door.

Lu Peichuan followed, "Big brother, are you going to the airport now? I'll take you."

Song Shiyan: "No need."

Rong Zheng was clearly still angry, and he needed to take this opportunity to leave to prevent her from pestering him about divorce again. So Lu Peichuan spoke up again: "Shall I take you?"

As they spoke, the two arrived at the door.

Fang Zheng, who had been waiting at the door, spoke up at the opportune moment: "Mr. Song, the private jet is ready and waiting."

Lu Peichuan asked in surprise, "Did you come here by private jet, brother?"

Song Shiyan nodded slightly.

People take private jets, so they don't need him to take them. But what urgent matter could have made Song Shiyan so rushed that he didn't even have time to go to the airport and had to use a private jet?

Could it be that they've come to Jiangcheng to discuss some urgent cooperation?

But there's no reason why Song Shiyan wouldn't have heard a word about a project that he values ​​so much. It seems I'll have to ask Xue Bai to find out if he can also get a share of the profits.
