Mr. Li, my wife doesn’t want to remarry and secretly gives birth to a baby.

Unfortunately, Li Yuanzheng has passed away, and Song Chenggong overestimated the abilities of Li Wenhong and his children, resulting in him not having an equally powerful in-law.

I should have investigated first...

This marriage was arranged far too hastily.

Yuan Gang had already arrived at the restaurant and came over to shake hands with Song Chenggong.

The two had interacted before, meeting on several occasions during the Southern Emperor's reign, such as large-scale conferences attended by both officials and businessmen.

Song Chenggong sat down. "I heard from Qingyi that Yangyang likes to watch the news. He really inherited your family's excellent genes."

Yuan Gang smiled and said, "Oh, you flatter me. My little grandson is still at the age where he's always playing."

Song Chenggong waved his hand, "President Yuan, don't be modest. You are an outstanding entrepreneur in Nandi. Like father, like daughter. Tongtong is also so outstanding...sigh."

At this point, Song Chenggong couldn't help but sigh.

"Qingyi and Tongtong are classmates and good friends. If they can hit it off, they are classmates, know each other, and have common topics. Wouldn't that be great?"

Yuan Gang laughed heartily, "What a pity! The two kids didn't hit it off, otherwise, they would have been in-laws!"

"Yes, I really regret not bringing Tongtong and Qingyi together—"

The two of them laughed heartily.

And those words of regret.

All of this reached the ears of Li Jingchen, who had just entered the room.

Li Jingchen's face darkened, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He walked over with unhurried steps.

"Uncle Song, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Song Chenggong stiffened slightly, then turned around and waved to Li Jingchen.

"Jingchen, you're here. Please have a seat."

After greeting Yuan Gang, Li Jingchen took off his suit jacket and sat down.

"Uncle Song, I must toast you. Qinghe was too careless and caused you trouble. I apologize on behalf of the Li family."

His voice was magnetic, but lacked any discernible inflection.

Song Chenggong clinked glasses with Li Jingchen. "Don't say that. I should thank you and President Yuan. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to get out so quickly."

"It should."

Li Jingchen poured Song Chenggong another glass of wine, his deep gaze falling on his face. "If it weren't for Song Qingyi bringing Jiang Tong and me together, we wouldn't have three children and be living such a happy life. Now that you're in trouble, how can I not do my best?"

Song Chenggong coughed lightly, "Yes, you and Qingyi have been brothers for so many years, and I also had a good relationship with your father. It's just a pity that your father died young."

Li Jingchen curled his lips into a smile. "I will repay those who are sincere to me with sincerity in return. This is also the principle that my father has always followed. If he were still alive, I might not have to work so hard. At least I would have someone to support me. What do you think?"

Yuan Gang, standing to the side, felt awkward. Li Jingchen's words were pointed, and he must have heard them.

He could only use the fragrant aroma of tea to cover up his lapse in composure.

The topic quickly shifted back to the whistleblower.

Because the other party anonymously reported the incident to the reporter, the public outcry led the authorities to take notice of Song Chenggong.

Therefore, they were unable to find out who the other party was.

"The taller the tree, the more the wind will blow against it. I'd better be careful these days. It's getting late, I'll be going now."

Song Chenggong, his face flushed from drinking, got into the driver's car.

Yuan Gang and Li Jingchen did not leave immediately. Yuan Gang asked Li Jingchen if he had heard everything just now.

"He was just saying it casually, expressing his regret. Don't take it seriously."

Pity?

Last night, Jiang Tong argued with him, telling him not to take their son out for social events before he turns ten.

The two had a minor argument. When he came over for dinner today and heard them lamenting that his wife and Song Qingyi were a good match, how could he not feel upset?

"I didn't take it seriously." After saying this, Li Jingchen didn't say anything more to Yuan Gang and got into the car.

He had also been drinking and made the driver drive.

"Mr. Li, are you alright?"

In the rearview mirror, Li Jingchen's head was resting against the back of the seat, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he were deep in thought.

"nothing."

Li Jingchen seemed lost in thought, his arms crossed over his chest, his brow furrowed.

When he got home, it was already seven o'clock. Upon learning that Jiang Tong had not yet returned, he breathed a sigh of relief and went out to meet her.

Jiang Tong was discussing business with Tianxia Feifan, along with Wang Ying and several other female bosses.

Jiang Tong was the youngest among them, sitting on a single sofa, listening to the chatter of her older sisters from time to time.

It was getting late, and the group showed no signs of leaving, so Jiang Tong had no choice but to continue keeping them company.

When Li Jingchen arrived, Jiang Tong had just gone to the restroom.

Standing in front of the transparent glass window, Wang Ying pointed at Li Jingchen, who was entering through the door.

"The Southern Emperor's most affectionate demeanor has arrived."

"Who?"

"Tongtong's husband is the chairman of the Dijing Group."

Wang Ying pointed in Li Jingchen's direction.

"No, it should be called the Southern Emperor's Number One Camera. You all didn't see it. Every time Tongtong goes home late, her husband comes to pick her up. Those two eyes, wherever Tongtong goes, he watches her, like two radar cameras."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The hearty laughter of the group caught the attention of Jiang Tong, who had just come out of the restroom.

"What's wrong? What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, it's just that your husband is handsome."

The group sat up straight, no longer daring to make jokes. Despite being quite drunk, they didn't dare to provoke the Dijing Group.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a knock sounded on the door.

Li Jingchen walked in, smiling slightly, "Just passing by and thought I'd take a look. Aren't we finished talking yet?"

Before Jiang Tong could speak, Wang Ying quickly said,

"We're done talking, Tongtong, you can go now. We'll stay here a little longer."

Jiang Tong picked up her coat and said, "Then I'll excuse myself. You guys have fun, and I'll put it on the tab."

"Oh, then we won't stand on ceremony."

"..."

Jiang Tong had already followed Li Jingchen outside.

As we walked, I asked him, "What are you doing here?"

Li Jingchen said irritably, "Didn't I say? I just happened to be passing by."

"The last time, the time before that, I was famous all over the world, and you happened to pass by."

How could there be such a coincidence?

Li Jingchen snorted, his gaze fixed on her face, "I'm afraid you won't be able to find your way home."

Jiang Tong got into the car with him. "I'm always with Wang Ying and the others. I'm not a child. I know what I'm doing."

"Don't you know your place? You just showed up, and now you won't let me?"

Jiang Tong kicked him.

Just because you're here to check up on things doesn't mean you have to be so arrogant.

Every time she didn't come home after seven o'clock, he would find her by chance, as if he had radar, and by chance, he would take her away.

The key is that he sets a good example.

Doesn't he also have social engagements? And he drinks alcohol; I can smell it on him…

Jiang Tong asked, "Who did you go drinking with tonight?"

Li Jingchen said, "With your father."

Jiang Tong glared at him. "Can't you speak properly?"

Why is this involving swearing?
