“I know that Zijian has always liked you. He is my cousin, after all, so I don’t want to be too ruthless. How about this? You go to Dacheng Company tomorrow and apologize to Miss Zhang. Then this issue is over. What do you think?” Wang Dekai said. 

Su Ruowan pressed her lips tightly. She was in a dilemma. What should she choose, her self-esteem or her job? 

She was facing a big problem now. In the end, she had no other choice but to give in. . 

Under the calm dark night, an old villa stood quietly near the mountains in the prime location of D City. This was the Jing family’s villa. 

Inside the study, Jing Muchen’s grandfather sat upright behind the desk. He still looked hale and hearty despite his age and gray hair. 

“Shaofan.”

Jing Shaofan walked towards him. “Father.”

He looked at Jing Shaofan, glanced at his granddaughter, and said, “A Xuan, hand over all the tasks tomorrow.”

Jing Muxuan’s beautiful face was full of unwillingness and resentment. “Grandpa!”

“I know that you have worked hard all these years, and I appreciate all your efforts. But five years ago, this should have been A Chen’s responsibility. You have already made great contributions. Let him do his part this time. Take this opportunity to rest and enjoy. Go on a vacation with Ouyang. His grandmother told me a few days ago that she wanted to have a great-grandchild.”

Holding Jing Muxuan in his arms, Ouyang Lv smiled and said, “Thank you, Grandpa. You are so kind and understanding. I’m relieved that A Xuan will finally finish her work.”

“Okay.” The old man nodded with relief. 

He then raised his eyes and looked at his two grandsons, Li Muchen and Jing Muchen. 

“Chen, are you sure you don’t want to go back to Jing Yang Group?” he asked. 

The corner of Li Muchen’s mouth twitched. He then smiled faintly and said, “Grandpa, the Li Group urgently needs talents right now. If I come back to Jing Yang Group, I’m not sure how the Li family takes it.”

The old man frowned and thought for a while. He then nodded and said, “Okay. By the way, your mother has been suffering from backache recently. Go to her room and check on her.”

“Okay, Grandpa.” Li Muchen nodded. 

“A Chen.” This time, the old man looked at Jing Muchen and said, “You promise me that you won’t leave again this time. I’ll let you take over Jing Yang Group. I think it’s time that you show us what you have learned in the past five years. Don’t let me down.”

Jing Muchen put his hands in his trouser pockets and replied calmly, “Yes, Grandpa.”. 

After the family meeting, Ouyang Lv left with Jing Muxuan. Feeling tired, the old man went back to his room to rest. Jing Shaofan went back to the bedroom to see Li Manting, who was still enduring the pain in her waist. So only Li Muchen and Jing Muchen were left sitting in the living room. 

The evening news was broadcasting on TV. Jing Muchen held the glass of red wine in his right hand and asked, “How is Yan Yan?”

Li Muchen smiled sardonically. “Do you still remember that you have a son?”

Jing Muchen didn’t retort. 

Li Muchen fixed his eyes on the TV and said slowly in a low voice, “He’s doing pretty good. He’s four years old now, clever and a bit mischievous.”. 

The black Cayenne left the Jing family’s old villa and drove down the narrow mountain road at a fast speed. 

Jing Muchen rested his right hand on the steering wheel while a stick of cigarette was between his left hand’s index and middle fingers. Three buttons of his shirt were unfastened, revealing a large part of his muscular chest. The lights of the passing cars glided past his handsome and delicate features, making his whole being exude a different kind of laziness and sexiness. 

His phone rang. When he answered it, Han Zhen’s cheerful voice came through from the other end of the line, “Boss Jing?”

“What?” he asked. 

“Since you’re back, why don’t you hang out with us? We’re in Zui Ye Club. Everyone is here tonight. Are you coming?” Jing Muchen also heard a woman’s coquettish voice on the other end of the line. 

“Okay, I’ll be there.” After hanging up the phone, he turned at the intersection and drove west. . 

When Jing Muchen walked into the private room, everyone was almost drunk. 

“Hey, you’re finally here!” Han Zhen squinted his eyes and raised his glass to Jing Muchen. Sitting next to him was his new girlfriend. 

Shangguan Yan, who was playing a guessing game with his escort, also raised his head and greeted Jing Muchen. 

Sitting on the sofa were also Qi Chenghao, Yan Nansheng, and Yu Yuting. 

Jing Muchen frowned slightly as his glance swept around the room. Finally, he saw Lu Ziheng drinking alone in the corner. His black suit seemed to blend with the black sofa. 

He gave everyone a questioning look. It was as if he was asking what happened. 

Han Zhen took a sip of his whiskey, squinted his eyes, and said casually, “Why is he like that? Because he got scolded again.”

Jing Muchen nodded and sat on the sofa. He then opened a bottle of whiskey and took a big gulp. 

In D City, the Jing family, Han family, Lu family, and Shangguan family were the business giants supporting the entire city. The Feng family, Yan family, Yu family, and Qi family enjoyed preeminence in law, politics, arts, and literature. 

In their generation, Jing Muchen and his friends grew up in the same background. Although they had inherited their family businesses and lived in different places in D City when they became adults, they were still good friends who could talk about everything in private. 

When Han Zhen noticed that Jing Muchen looked melancholy, he tapped the beautiful woman beside him and whispered something in her ear.
