Seeing Xu Cheng leave without giving him any face, Zuozhi was enraged. He angrily slammed the table and said, "You don't know what's good for you, do you really think you're a big shot? 20 million is the highest I can give you. 20 million is no different from throwing away trash in my eyes. "
One of his bodyguards came over and asked in a low voice, "Sir, should we teach him a lesson?"
"Let's talk about it later. If he really dares to continue investigating, we will just pay up from the underground money house, and we will get to work." In Zuozhi's eyes, it was better for Xu Cheng to refuse. According to Hetian, as long as Xu Cheng died, the money Xu Cheng saved in the underground money house would belong to Zuozhi. Xu Cheng could reject the money, but Zuozhi forgot to tell him that there were a lot of people in this world who would kill him for this money!
In the car, Lin Lei curiously asked Xu Cheng, "Brother-in-law, who was that guy just now? He's so arrogant, and I feel like he's even more arrogant than my dad. "
Xu Cheng laughed. "Wei Nation people are always arrogant in front of people from Huaxia. Oh right, why did you suddenly decide to stay? If you don't go to England, you think you're going to play around all day? "
Lin Lei pouted. "If I keep playing around, Dad is going to cripple me. He said that if I don't come to Huaxia this time and change my personality, I won't be allowed to go back and inherit the family business."
Xu Cheng nodded. "Indeed."
Lin Lei's eyes widened. "Are you serious, Brother-in-law? Even you aren't supporting me this time?"
"It's not like I don't know your temper. If you keep playing around like this, you really are going to be crippled. I know you're smart, but you're just ignorant and incompetent," Xu Cheng scolded.
"Oh, right. You keep calling me Brother-in-law, aren't you afraid people will see through my relationship with your sister? Didn't she warn you? "Xu Cheng asked curiously.
"She told me not to call you Brother-in-law in front of people."
Xu Cheng bitterly smiled and looked out the window. "Sometimes I don't even know what to do with this marriage, but for her acting career, let her be."
Lin Lei looked at Xu Cheng and said, "Brother-in-law, do you really think that my sister didn't want to reveal your marriage just because she didn't want it to affect her acting career?"
"What else?" Xu Cheng turned around, bitterly smiled, and turned back. He faintly said, "All these years, in order to cooperate with her, I didn't even have the slightest chance of making a mistake. That's why I didn't disturb her and entered the army."
Lin Lei didn't say anything and was thinking about something else. In fact, he knew that Lin Chuxue was doing this to take care of Xu Cheng. Xu Cheng used to have such a low self-esteem. If a perfect woman like her married a nobody, how much pressure and public opinion would the British Empire put on him? In the upper class of Britain, Lin Chuxue was known as the 'ideal dream lover'. Even from the time she grew up to the time she graduated from university, she had always been the center of attention. Even the royal family's mistresses were her pursuers. It wasn't hard to imagine that if the news of her marrying Xu Cheng was made public, it would become a huge joke in the upper class of Britain. At that time, wave after wave of royal power would push Xu Cheng to the edge of the cliff. What would he do then?
This was why Lin Chuxue had been waiting for Xu Cheng, waiting for him to become stronger, waiting for him to confidently say to her, "I love you!"
At that time, Lin Chuxue could guarantee that Xu Cheng could face the public opinion. Otherwise, marrying Xu Cheng would only be harming him! Of course, it wasn't like Lin Chuxue didn't have no feelings for Xu Cheng. After all, they were childhood sweethearts, and it was either a faint love or a deep affection. In short, without any foundation, how could Lin Chuxue lower herself and marry him?
It was just that they both had their own difficulties and plans, and if they didn't talk about it, they would have misunderstood each other for so many years.
That was why Lin Lei looked very tired. Now that he heard Xu Cheng's words, he was even more sure that the two of them actually liked each other, but they both chose to stay silent for each other. How troublesome.
Just at that moment, Xu Cheng's phone rang.
It was Shen Yao.
"Hello?"
"Xu Cheng, you haven't eaten yet, right? Come home, we made a sumptuous meal. "Shen Yao sounded very lively on the phone.
Xu Cheng looked at Lin Lei and awkwardly said, "It's okay, I'll just eat out. Do you still remember Chuxue's little brother? He came to find me, I'll take him out to eat. "
Shen Yao: "Isn't Chuxue's little brother my little brother? It just so happens that we are going to meet and get to know each other. Let's go together. My dad told me to call you, and he said that this meal will be his apology to you. Come back and call Lin Lei over too. "
Xu Cheng was a bit speechless. He covered the phone and then asked Lin Lei in a low voice, "Are you going to follow me around for the next few days?"
Lin Lei nodded.
In that case, she could only stay with the Shen family. She didn't bring someone to take a look and say that it was not good.
Thinking of this, Xu Cheng could only pick up his phone again and say, "Okay, I'll be right there."
"Bye." Shen Yao was very happy on the phone.
After hanging up, she put her hands on her waist and said to Shen Wansan, "Dad, I called him back. Since you said you want to apologize, you can't keep a straight face, okay?"
Shen Wansan nodded and said, "Yeah … I wouldn't dare. He beat all the masters around me into dogs, and I'm afraid of him."
Speaking of masters, Shen Yao couldn't help but look at Wen Zhao, who was on crutches and had a sandbag on his head. She rolled her eyes and muttered, "Masters?"
Wen Zhao definitely heard that, and he could only lower his head shyly with a red face. He felt like a dog suddenly poked his butt!
Xu Cheng drove his Volkswagen Santana back to the Shen Family's mansion. As the driver, Lin Lei complained, "Sis … Big Brother Cheng, you should get a new car, it's too hard to drive." Originally, he was going to call Xu Cheng brother-in-law out of habit, but he quickly changed it.
Xu Cheng didn't mind and said, "Of course. You are used to driving luxury cars in Britain, so of course you won't be used to driving this kind of car. But let me tell you, for an experienced driver, I can drive any car."
Xu Cheng brought Lin Lei into the living room, and then he followed the maid to the huge kitchen. There, Shen Yao, Shen Wansan, and Wen Zhao were already waiting for a while.
Xu Cheng smiled and went over to Shen Wansan and said, "President Shen, sorry to keep you guys waiting."
Shen Wansan's attitude towards Xu Cheng improved a lot. He waved his hand and said, "It's no trouble at all. This is?"
"This is my cousin, Lin Lei."
Shen Yao helped on the side. "She's the best friend I've been telling you about, Lin Chuxue. Do you know that superstar? This is her younger brother. "
"Oh, what a talent," Shen Wansan praised. "Don't just stand there, since you are here, let's eat together."
Xu Cheng signaled Lin Lei to sit down and eat together. Lin Lei looked at Shen Yao's attitude towards Xu Cheng from the moment they came in until now, and it was very obvious that she was taking the initiative. As a love saint, this signal was a bit dangerous. It meant that Shen Yao was trying to let Xu Cheng see the best side of her. She was even willing to speak up for another man in front of her father. At this point, only an idiot like his brother-in-law wouldn't be able to tell!
As Lin Lei ate, he felt anxious for his sister.
At this moment, Wen Zhao suddenly said, "Junior Brother …"
Shen Wansan was scared, scared that this bodyguard would cause trouble again and embarrass himself. So, he directly slapped him on the head and coughed. "Eat."
Wen Zhao wanted to cry but had no tears …
