A person in Wuha: The whole internet is urging me to get back together with my ex!

In L state, a cold wind blew in through the half-open car window at night.

A black minivan sped along the wide city streets.

There was no music playing in the car.

Chen Ye gripped the steering wheel with both hands, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

In the passenger seat, Chen He's body filled the seat completely.

He turned his head and stared at Chen Ye for a while.

"Brother."

"what?"

Chen Ye replied irritably.

"Why did you have to come along and join in the fun? I'm picking up my father-in-law, and you're just here to get yourself killed?"

"I'm just afraid your father-in-law will perform a ritual to send you to the afterlife on the spot!"

Chen He spoke with righteous indignation.

"With me here, at least I can help you collect your body."

He leaned back in his seat.

"Did the old folks confide in you in the study just now?" Chen He raised an eyebrow. "Did they give you something good?"

Chen Ye tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

He nodded.

"Given it."

"What good stuff?" Chen He's gossip instincts kicked in. "The old couple has quite a few good things on them."

"Shanghai"

Chen Ye glanced at the rearview mirror.

"Tomson Riviera, a large single-level apartment of over 400 square meters."

The carriage fell into a deathly silence.

Chen He's mouth was wide open, big enough to fit a whole apple.

"Oh my god..."

He swallowed hard.

"These elderly couple really went all out! They just gave you a huge apartment?"

Chen He patted his round belly and said nothing more.

Chen Ye thought the fat man was jealous.

After all, the value of this house is undeniable; it's worth more than an ordinary person could earn in several lifetimes. This elderly couple dotes on their nephew even more than their own son.

"What's wrong? Feeling resentful?" Chen Ye teased. "If you're resentful, go home and cry to your aunt."

"Nonsense." Chen He rolled his eyes.

He stared at the street scene rushing past the car window, remaining silent for a full half minute.

"Brother, I've had the contract prepared." Chen He suddenly said out of the blue.

Chen Ye was stunned for a moment.

There was a red light ahead, so Chen Ye stepped on the brake and turned to look at him with a puzzled expression.

"What contract?"

This fat guy's thinking is as unpredictable as an alien's. He was just jealous, how did he suddenly jump to the topic of the contract?

Chen He looked into Chen Ye's eyes, and the playful smile on his face completely disappeared.

"The shares I hold under my name, Taiyang Media."

Chen He slowed down his speech.

"I'll give you ten percent."

The green light is on.

Chen Ye didn't step on the gas.

The cars behind were honking their horns like crazy.

Chen Ye seemed not to hear, remaining frozen in the driver's seat.

He stared wide-eyed at Chen He.

"Are you out of your mind?!" Chen Ye blurted out, "Do you even know how much your 10% is worth?!"

Taiyang Media!

Even Douyin, which is currently at its peak, didn't get many shares when it invested in Taiyang.

Chen He gave up 10% of his personal shares, which adds up to an astronomical price of several hundred million!

This fat guy just slipped away so easily?!

"Drive your car!"

Chen Ye stepped on the gas, and the car rejoined the traffic.

His mind was buzzing.

Being hit with these blows so late at night is taking a toll on my heart.

First, my aunt dumped Tomson Riviera, and now Chen He has dumped shares worth hundreds of millions. Is this family in the wholesale business? They're always throwing around hundreds of millions of shares?

"Brother, listen to me."

Chen He sighed, his tone unusually serious.

"We grew up together. Back then, your older brother made a name for himself in the entertainment industry. I thought that when you grew up, if you wanted to enter this industry, I could protect you and help you avoid some detours."

Chen He chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"And what happened? You're a prodigy yourself."

"When I first debuted, I started aggressively entering the music industry."

"What did those people say before?" Chen He looked at Chen Ye, "They said you're the fifth Heavenly King, besides those four monsters like Zhou Jielun!"

Chen He patted his thigh.

"You're doing so well now, what can I, as your older brother, possibly do to help you?"

"You're about to propose, it's a major life event."

Chen He grinned.

"I don't have much to give you, and giving you money directly would be too vulgar."

"Here are some shares for you. No matter what you do in the industry, Taiyang Media will always be your support."

Chen Ye gripped the steering wheel tightly.

My knuckles have turned white.

This fatso usually seems carefree, but he can be surprisingly open and honest with you when it really matters.

Ten percent of the shares—that's practically giving away your bare bottom.

Chen Ye shook his head.

"Forget it."

"Don't give me that nonsense. You can keep the Taiyang shares for yourself and let them grow bigger."

Chen Ye's tone returned to its usual nonchalant manner.

"What?" Chen He asked, displeased. "You look down on your brother?"

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who's short of a few hundred million?" Chen Ye sneered. "Just settle the bill for the projections on those buildings by the river tomorrow night, and that will be the biggest congratulatory gift you can give me."

"One thing at a time!" Chen He said urgently.

Just then, the red light ahead turned on again.

Chen Ye turned his head and looked at Chen He.

Listen.

Chen Ye's smile vanished, replaced by utmost seriousness.

"Taiyang's shares are very valuable now. Although you don't usually handle the company's specific business, if you were to give me these 10% of the shares, your influence on the board of directors would definitely be diminished."

Chen Ye patted Chen He on the shoulder.

"This is the empire you built with all your hard work; there's no need for you to give it up for me."

"We'll see." Chen Ye's lips curled into a smile. "Didn't we agree to open a new Rainy Night Stars restaurant? This is a business we'll fund ourselves, so we really don't need your shares."

Chen He looked into Chen Ye's determined eyes.

This kid has been stubborn since he was a child.

Once someone has made up their mind, nothing can change it.

These shares, worth hundreds of millions, can't be given away.

"Alright then."

Chen He stopped being coy and touched his chin.

"Since you don't want the old company, let's talk about the new one." Chen He raised an eyebrow. "I'll personally invest an additional 20 million in the newly opened Rainy Night Stars!"

Chen He waved his hand with a heroic air.

"Furthermore, if the new company is short-staffed for promotional appearances in the early stages, you can use any artists under Taiyang Media! As long as no one dies, you can do whatever you want with them!"

Chen Ye laughed.

This is the right way to be a good brother.

"make a deal."

Chen Ye nodded with a smile.

"That's settled then. Twenty million is the minimum, plus we'll get your employees for free. Once we're done and back in Shanghai, we'll just let Lao Deng and the others know about it."

"No problem!" Chen He slapped his thigh. "This wave will absolutely crush the Chinese entertainment industry!"

The atmosphere in the carriage became relaxed again.

The two bantered and joked along the way as the car smoothly drove to its destination.

It's exactly nine o'clock.

The van smoothly glided into the underground parking garage of L State Airport.

We parked in the VIP parking space closest to the arrival gate.

Chen Ye turned off the engine.

He took out his phone and glanced at the time.

Perfect timing! I reckon my father-in-law's flight has already pulled into the terminal by now.

Chen Ye leaned back in his seat and turned to look at Chen He in the passenger seat.

"Go down?"

Chen Ye asked.

"By the way, Teacher Huang Lei should also be on this flight, around the same time as your father-in-law. Since you insist on coming along, be prepared for a storm."

"Absolutely!" Chen He said, sticking out his neck.

Although he had been tough-talking earlier, Chen He was actually a little apprehensive when he arrived at the airport.

"I'm your own brother! Do you think I'm supposed to just cower in the car and pretend to be dead while picking up your future in-laws?"

Chen He forced himself to maintain his composure.

"Hurry up, hurry up and go pick them up! If we're late and the father-in-law finds fault with us, the old lady will beat my face until it's like a QR code when we get back!"

As he spoke, Chen He hurriedly pulled a large black face mask from his pocket.

Chen He pulled the mask tightly over his face, fully armed, and jumped out of the car.

Chen Ye looked at the fat man's cowardly appearance and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

Only Chen He could be so brazenly cowardly.

Chen Ye also grabbed a black mask, put it on, opened the car door, and got out.

The two quickly walked through the VIP passage to the arrival hall on the first floor.

As soon as I reached the exit, the automatically sensing glass doors slowly opened to both sides.

At first glance, Chen Ye noticed that extremely eye-catching combination.

Mr. Song pushed the luggage cart, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

His brows were furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly, and he exuded a terrifying aura that warned, "Keep away, son-in-law, or you'll be in deep trouble."

Beside her, Song Ma looked anxious, glancing around anxiously, clearly searching for Chen Ye.

Chen Ye's Adam's apple bobbed.

It's all over.

The father-in-law's murderous aura was so intense that it could make someone's face sting even from ten meters away.

"Uncle! Auntie!"

Chen Ye steeled himself and immediately took off his mask.

Adorn yourself with the most innocent, radiant, and sunny smile of a younger generation.

He waved a loud greeting through the barrier at the arrival gate.

Upon hearing the sound, Song's father's gaze instantly locked onto Chen Ye.

That look in her eyes was absolutely amazing.

It's like watching a wild boar that has just ruined your top-quality cabbage.

Indifference, disdain, defensiveness, and even a hint of gritted teeth.

Mr. Song snorted coldly, giving Chen Ye no friendly look at all, and turned his face away as if he hadn't seen anything.

Chen Ye smiled bitterly to himself.

This treatment is truly unparalleled.

However, Song Ma's eyes lit up the moment she saw Chen Ye.

A mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law with increasing delight.

"Ouch! Ono!"

Song Ma immediately left Song Ba behind, walked quickly to the railing, and looked at Chen Ye with a big smile.

"It's the middle of the night, and you still came to pick us up. Must be tired?"

"It's not hard at all!"

Mr. and Mrs. Song also stepped out from behind the railing.

Chen Ye quickly took the luggage cart from Song's father.

"Auntie, you and Uncle flew all this way, that's really hard work! Let's get in the car quickly."

Just then, another person walked out from behind the arrival gate.

Wearing dark sunglasses and sporting a protruding belly, she swaggered out.

It was the old fox Huang Lei who came on the same flight.

"Teacher Huang!" Chen He, with his sharp eyes, immediately waved.

Chen Ye quickly freed one hand to greet, "Teacher Huang, over here!"

Huang Lei walked over with a smile.

As they approached, their gaze fell upon Mr. and Mrs. Song, who were standing next to Chen Ye.

He was stunned.

Isn't this the "fervent middle-aged fan" who stared at me for a long time with a bitter and resentful look in the first-class cabin of the plane?

How did you end up with Chen Ye?

"Huh? Who is this?" Huang Lei was a little confused and pointed to Song's father.

Chen Ye quickly introduced, "Teacher Huang, these are Yuqi's parents, uncles and aunts, and this is Teacher Huang Lei."

What the hell!

Huang Lei was internally screaming "Holy crap!"

This is awkward.

On the plane, he thought this person was a fan and even gave them a friendly smile, which was quite presumptuous of him!

It turns out my father-in-law came to inspect the work!

Huang Lei truly lives up to his reputation as a cunning old fox; his skin is as thick as a city wall.

The surprise lasted for less than a fraction of a second before being replaced by an extremely enthusiastic smile.

"Oh! It's Mr. and Mrs. Song!"

Huang Lei reached out and grabbed Song's father's hands, shaking them frantically.

"It's an honor to meet you! What a coincidence that we're on the same flight!"

Song's father was a little confused by Huang Lei's actions.

But after all, you can't hit someone who's smiling.

"Hello, Teacher Huang."

Mr. Song forced a polite smile and nodded.

"I apologize for my rudeness on the plane."

"Don't mention it! We're family, no need for formalities!" Huang Lei laughed it off.

"Uncle and Aunt, Teacher Huang, let's not stand here, we might get recognized." Chen Ye seized the opportunity to arrange, "Let's go to the car first? Your aunt and uncle are waiting at the villa to welcome you."

"Alright, alright, let's go." Song Ma nodded repeatedly.

Mr. Song didn't speak, but gave a curt "hmm" with a cold face.

The group walked in a grand procession toward the business vehicle parked in the VIP parking space.

I walked to the car door.

Chen Ye had just opened the sliding door to let Song's parents get in the car.

Huang Lei grabbed the car door.

"Well then, Mr. and Mrs. Song, please take a seat in the more spacious middle row!"

Huang Lei chuckled and pointed behind him.

"I'm going to sit in the last row. I like to curl up in the back; it's so comfortable!"

Without giving anyone a chance to refute him, Huang Lei nimbly slipped into the last row of the carriage.

While enjoying the gossip, the shrewd old fox will never allow himself to be in the eye of the storm.

Chen He also smoothly opened the passenger door, quickly climbed in, and sat down firmly.

Mr. and Mrs. Song bent down and sat in the two most spacious seats in the middle.

Chen Ye stuffed his luggage into the trunk, sat in the driver's seat, and fastened his seatbelt.

He turned his head and looked at Song's father's still expressionless face in the rearview mirror.

"Uncle and Aunt, did you eat before you came?"
