On the way, Cheng Wanqing chatted with each other from time to time.
Cheng Caiying sat next to her without saying a word. Although she had a smile on her face, her smile was a bit stiff.
"Xiuchuan, how long do you plan to stay in Fengcheng this time?"
Cheng Wanqing asked.
"It's hard to say, I have two purposes for coming here this time."
"First, we are negotiating the project on behalf of the family. If we can cooperate smoothly, we can stay longer."
"Second, the Northern Martial Arts Conference is about to begin, and I stopped by to visit the Yunfeng Martial Arts Association."
Hong Xiuchuan replied.
Martial Arts Conference?
Xiao Feng pricked up his ears and listened. He didn't know whether he wanted to attend the conference or whether his family wanted to participate.
"Oh, that's how it is."
Cheng Wanqing asked again: "What kind of project is it and how much investment is required?"
"There are many investment projects. It mainly depends on who we cooperate with. If we can cooperate with Fourth Aunt and your Cheng family, I will make the decision personally and invest at least five billion."
"five billion?"
Cheng Wanqing showed an expression of surprise.
Although the Cheng family is a wealthy family in Fengcheng, its total assets are only around tens of billions. In the eyes of the real wealthy, it is not considered a famous family at all.
If she can get an investment of 5 billion, her position in the Cheng family will be untouchable.
Hong Xiuchuan changed the topic: "Of course, five billion is just the starting point."
"If the relationship between Caiying and I can go further, investing 10 billion won't be a problem."
Ten billion?
Cheng Wanqing was tempted, it could be said that she was ready to make a move.
If she can get this investment personally, she can even set up another business.
"This has nothing to do with me, right?"
Cheng Caiying smiled awkwardly.
"Of course it does matter."
Hong Xiuchuan looked at her: "If we only rely on our past friendship, there is no need for me to cooperate with the Cheng family."
"This is business, not a favor."
"But if you are the daughter-in-law of my Hong family, it will be completely different. We are a family."
"Fourth aunt, are you right?"
"Yes, yes, the wealth doesn't flow to outsiders, haha..."
Cheng Wanqing smiled and nodded, her mind filled with those 10 billion.
Cheng Caiying forced a smile and said: "Xiuchuan, you are really good at joking."
"With your status as the young master of the Hong family, what kind of woman can't you find? I'm not worthy of you."
"Haha...it doesn't matter if you don't deserve it, as long as I like it."
'Snapped!'
He reached out and patted Cheng Caiying on the thigh, smiling arrogantly.
"To be honest, I have seen too many beauties."
"But beauties with such temperament as you are really rare."
"Strong on the outside but capable on the inside, he is definitely a good helper."
Cheng Caiying gently pushed his hand away and said with a fake smile: "Since we don't deserve it, why bother to be together?"
"If you really want to cooperate with my Cheng family, I welcome you and thank you."
"Chaiying!"
Cheng Wanqing glared at her and said with a smile: "Xiuchuan, don't take it to heart, this girl has been spoiled by me."
"Young people, it would be nice to have more contact. Can feelings be cultivated slowly?"
"Yes! Fourth aunt is right."
Hong Xiuchuan puffed out smoke: "Since I was a child, no one has ever rejected me, and I believe you, Caiying, will not do it either."
"Not necessarily!"
Cheng Caiying shook her head and smiled: "Maybe... I am the first person to reject you."
Hong Xiuchuan's face darkened, but he immediately raised the corners of his mouth.
"Chaiying, you still have such a personality."
"I really like you more and more, haha..."
Men all have a desire to conquer, especially young men from wealthy families.
Hong Xiuchuan had had enough of the kind of woman who took the initiative to throw herself into his arms and couldn't arouse any interest at all.
On the contrary, a stubborn girl like Cheng Caiying can arouse his desire more, and he likes this feeling very much.
However, in his view, this was all pretense of reserve, and he was just trying to gain more chips.
If you play tricks with me, let's see who has the deeper tricks. I will make you completely convinced and kneel in front of me and lick your feet.
After returning to the Cheng family, Cheng Yunshan and other members of the Cheng family gave him a warm welcome.
Hong Xiuchuan was a distinguished guest to them, and they did not dare to show any slights. It could be said that the entire Cheng family was surrounding him.
Hong Xiuchuan sat on the sofa, and Cheng Yunshan poured him tea himself.
The rest of the Cheng family were sitting nearby, and naturally Xiao Feng was among them.
"Xiuchuan, is your grandpa in good health?"
"I haven't seen you for so many years, I really miss you."
Cheng Yunshan looked melancholy and said half-truths and half-false words.
"fine!"
Hong Xiuchuan nodded and smiled: "Grandpa, he often mentions you, always on his lips."
"Now my father is taking care of the Hong family. Grandpa no longer has to worry about it. I can finally enjoy peace and happiness."
"oh?"
Cheng Yunshan rolled his eyes. He didn't expect that Hong Xiuchuan and his son had taken control of the entire Hong family.
"Haha... It's good to enjoy peace and happiness."
Cheng Yunshan patted the back of his hand and said with a smile: "Xiuchuan, when you come here, stay longer. Don't be polite. When you get here, it will be like your own home."
"Don't worry, I won't be polite."
Hong Xiuchuan looked at Cheng Caiying, raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Grandpa Cheng, actually I came here this time to cancel the baby marriage we arranged back then."
"What?"
Cheng Yunshan's expression changed and he frowned.
Other members of the Cheng family also have their own agendas. It can be said that no one except Cheng Wanqing wants Cheng Caiying to marry into the Hong family.
Especially Cheng Jinna, she didn't want Cheng Caiying to take advantage.
Even if someone has to marry into the Hong family, it can only be her, and you, Cheng Caiying, have to step aside.
"Xiuchuan, is it Caiying who dissatisfied you?"
"Or...you have a better candidate?"
Cheng Yunshan asked.
"Grandpa, do you still need to ask?"
Cheng Jinna said angrily: "Then she must be dissatisfied with Caiying. Only an outstanding woman like me can be worthy of such an outstanding man as Xiuchuan."
She was so shameless, she immediately recommended herself.
He also deliberately shook his hair and struck a pose that he thought was very elegant.
"Yeah! You're right."
Cheng Caiying pursed her lips and nodded: "Sister Na is shy and Xiuchuan is a talented person. They are truly a match made in heaven."
Xiao Feng pursed his lips and snickered, this female enchantress really knew how to use every opportunity.
"That's natural!"
Cheng Jinna smiled coldly and became even more proud.
Cheng Yunshan looked embarrassed and asked with a smile: "Xiuchuan, do you like Jin Na? If that's the case, Grandpa Cheng won't object."
"Thank you, grandpa."
Cheng Jinna was so happy that she kept making flirtatious glances at Hong Xiuchuan.
"she?"
Who would have thought that Hong Xiuchuan's words almost made Cheng Jinna vomit blood.
"I can grab a lot of this kind of stuff, and I don't even want it for free."
"You bastard!"
Cheng Jinna stood up suddenly with a livid face.
"Hong Xiuchuan, what do you mean? In what way am I inferior to Cheng Caiying?"
Hong Xiuchuan ignored her frenzy and said softly: "Grandpa Cheng, you don't have to worry about Caiying and I. I don't like arranged marriages, so it's settled."
Cheng Yunshan couldn't say anything, so he could only smile and nod in agreement.
He didn't have high hopes for this marriage. When the differences between the two families were huge, the weaker party was not qualified to make demands.
That night, the Cheng family held a big banquet to welcome Hong Xiuchuan.
