Chen Cheng raised his hand to catch the pillow thrown at him, lunged forward in two strides, pinned Dai Xi down over the quilt, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

You have to say, after a night of baptism.

Dai Xi's skin was noticeably more radiant.

Dai Xi wrapped her arms around Chen Cheng's neck and responded passionately.

Chen Cheng felt Dai Xi's breathing grow increasingly rapid.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly; it seemed a morning workout was inevitable.

One hour later, Chen Cheng rolled out of bed.

Dai Xi felt a sudden emptiness in her heart, looking at Chen Cheng as he dressed, wanting to say something but hesitating.

"Um... are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together?"

Saying this, Dai Xi felt her face burning with heat.

Chen Cheng didn't speak, continuing to put on his clothes, the corners of his mouth harder to suppress than an AK-47.

Seeing him silent made Dai Xi anxious.

Only after experiencing it did she know what was truly good.

Having tasted the sweetness, she could not stop.

Chen Cheng turned around, walked to the bedside, raised his hand to lift Dai Xi's chin, and looking down at Dai Xi, who was kneeling on the bed, said, "What? Can't bear to part with me?"

"Who can't bear to part with you?" Dai Xi immediately denied it, "It's just... I wanted to introduce a few young people to you."

Dai Xi didn't even know what was wrong with herself; she was so anxious that she had to resort to making up an excuse about introducing young people.

Chen Cheng's eyes lit up. Young people?

The answer was obvious; wouldn't it be Jiang Nansun?

Chen Cheng looked at Dai Xi suspiciously. Introducing a man she had slept with to her own niece?

What kind of move was this?

Uh... Chen Cheng suddenly remembered that Wang Yongzheng seemed to have been introduced to Jiang Nansun by Dai Xi as well.

And she had said Wang Yongzheng knew how to have fun.

Holy crap, no way, right?

Chen Cheng thought about it carefully again; it shouldn't be possible.

She just purely looked down on Zhang Anren and sought out a well-matched Wang Yongzheng.

People said that when Dai Yin married into the Jiang Family, it was marrying up.

In reality, given Dai Yin's nature of never lifting a finger and not knowing how to cook even in her forties or fifties.

It was 100% certain that the family conditions of Dai Xi and Dai Yin were not bad at all, otherwise, they couldn't have raised such pampered young ladies.

Moreover, the Jiang Family had an old, feudal grandmother; without being well-matched in status, Dai Yin wouldn't have been able to marry into the Jiang Family.

By the time it reached Jiang Nansun's generation, Dai Yin wasn't as insistent on a well-matched marriage for her daughter.

But for the number one ruthless person in Golden Years, Dai Xi.

How could she tolerate her niece marrying Zhang Anren to 'alleviate poverty'?

Of course, after the Jiang Family went bankrupt, it turned into Zhang Anren alleviating Jiang Nansun's poverty.

Regardless, Zhang Anren was someone who had a house and had landed a position at a university.

Unfortunately, Zhang Anren couldn't solve a situation like this.

Nor would he try to.

In the end, Zhang Anren was just an ordinary person, an exquisite egoist.

A master's graduate who landed in Shanghai, cutting ties with his childhood sweetheart girlfriend.

For a Shanghai residency permit, he fawned over Jiang Nansun.

When Jiang Nansun's status no longer matched his as a formal university teaching assistant, he would unhesitatingly use various methods to get rid of Jiang Nansun.

Not to mention the Jiang Family's multi-million debt quagmire.

In such times, the well-off Wang Yongzheng naturally became the 'true match' Dai Xi arranged for Jiang Nansun.

Jiang Nansun was actually quite double-standard.

When her own family went bankrupt, she wanted Zhang Anren to declare whether he would lend her money or not.

Facing Wang Yongzheng, Jiang Nansun could swallow any bitterness whole.

She didn't dare reveal even a bit of her financial distress or difficult life to Wang Yongzheng.

In the end, when she got together with Wang Yongzheng, she didn't know how much was love, but his wealthy family background definitely accounted for more than 50% of it.

Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a chuckle, "In what capacity are you planning to introduce me?"

Uh... Dai Xi's mouth twitched.

Lover?

Friend?

Chen Cheng scoffed, patted her fair cheek, and comforted her, "Alright, call me when you have time."

As he spoke, Chen Cheng picked up Dai Xi's phone from the bedside, asked her to unlock it, entered his own number, and called it.

"Alright, I'm off. I still have work."

"Okay..." Dai Xi pouted reluctantly.

Chen Cheng's mouth curled up; the auntie was truly addicted to it.

This girlish posture.

Tsk tsk~ She really has flavor.

Chen Cheng finished dressing and left the hotel.

Just as he sat in the car, Li Na called.

"Boss, you're trending again."

"Hmm?" Chen Cheng frowned, "What's going on?"

"Some media interviewed your classmates and went to your hometown, writing a special report."

"Can't handle it?" Chen Cheng frowned. Li Na should have already understood his nature; if she hadn't handled it, it meant it was very tricky.

Li Na nodded, "Yeah... judging from the communication, the other party is very tough. It seems there's someone behind them."

"Someone... check it out on your end, see who wants to dig me out."

"I'm already looking into it through my connections."

Chen Cheng nodded, thought for a moment, "Have Zou Yu coordinate with the PR team and send the other party a lawyer's letter to retract the false information."

"If they retract the article, that's best. If not, leave it to Karen to handle..."

"Understood, Boss." Li Na's mouth curled slightly; she had gradually figured out Karen's role in Chen Cheng's team.

Collecting information and incidentally handling some matters that were inconvenient to deal with publicly.

Just as Li Na's call ended, Karen's call came through.

The person behind it actually surprised Chen Cheng a bit. It was Lin Qizheng who had found someone to do it.

It was only reposted by domestic media the day before yesterday, and today a deep-dive report was already out.

It looked like Lin Qizheng had been watching him for more than a day or two.

Chen Cheng scoffed, "It seems Young Master Lin hasn't forgotten about the beautiful Zou Yu."

Rolling his eyes, he ordered, "Find media to pay attention to Zhilin Construction; those in construction never have clean hands. I want Lin Qizheng to be too busy to care for himself."

"And get me a file on Zhilin Group."

On Hong Kong Island, at the Four Seasons Hotel, on a lounge chair by the pool, a slender young woman had a laptop on her lap while talking on the phone.

Karen nodded, "I'll send it to your email immediately."

Chen Cheng thought about how Lin Qizheng would later be forced into a family marriage and added, "Keep an eye on the investments of the eldest of the Lin family, Lin Qizhong."

After saying this, Chen Cheng suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a beautiful fiancée.

Still that 'Youlemei' girl.

A mischievous smile gradually appeared on Chen Cheng's face.

Targeting my woman... Heh...

Chen Cheng scoffed lightly, "Lin Qizheng has a fiancée; get me her information and her whereabouts."

Karen's expression was calm, "Understood, Boss, I'll check immediately."

"First, release some dirt on Zhilin Group; send it to media in Hong Kong Island and the mainland, let him be too busy to look after himself."

Chen Cheng hung up the phone and scoffed.

If I don't deal with you, you really won't know who you're dealing with.

Hanging up the phone, Chen Cheng had Chen Guosheng drive him back to Binjiang Garden.

He changed his clothes and went to Qiao Jingjing's house as if nothing had happened.
