Chapter 42: The Second Young Master of the Lei Family
"Grandpa, I'm back." Fu Mingjie pushed open the door of the study and bowed to the front.
Fu Mingjie suddenly stood up and found that there were other people in the study, his father Fu Hai, second uncle Fu Tao, and Zhu Changlao. He hastily went forward to greet them.
"Father, Second Uncle, and Old Man Zhu are all here."
"Alright." Fu Jing Tian waved his hand and let Fu Ming Jie, this eldest grandson, sit down beside him.
The room fell silent again, waiting for the most majestic old man of the Fu family to speak.
"This time it's mainly about that thing in Beijing. If there's no treasure, then so be it, but if it exists, there's no reason to let it fall into someone else's hands. Now that the thing has been roughly confirmed, think of a way to get it as soon as possible. The night is long and dreams are many, and with time, other forces will inevitably intervene after they become aware."
The old man said, pausing for a moment, and everyone nodded in agreement. After all, the Fu family was the first to discover this matter and had been investigating for over a month, so it's certain that someone would have noticed by now.
Fu Jing Tian looked at the few people sitting below and slowly opened his mouth.
"This matter should still be handled by Ming Jie, with Zhu Chang's assistance. After all, the two of you understand the situation best. If there's anything needed, just let your father and Second Uncle know, they will satisfy your requirements."
Afterwards several people discussed some other family matters, but generally it was just the head of the household giving orders and others listening.
A small meeting ended and several people walked out of the room.
Fu Mingjie had just taken two steps when someone grabbed his arm and called out to him. He turned around to see that it was his second uncle.
"Ming Jie, I heard your cousin Minmin say that a product from a place called Liyuan in Beijing is quite amazing. Can you get some back for me to study?"
This uncle is full of enthusiasm and makes a request to his nephew, believing that the other party will definitely help with this small matter.
Fu Mingjie burst out laughing when he heard that his father was talking about this matter. His second uncle had been obsessed with medicine all his life and was still unmarried at the age of 40. He didn't care much about family matters, but as soon as someone mentioned a difficult disease or a miraculous cure, he would become spirited. As the eldest son of the family, his behavior initially caused dissatisfaction among many people, but later his research greatly improved the quality of the family's martial artists, and no one dared to gossip about him anymore.
Fu Tao even opened a Chinese medicine hospital for medical research. It's really strange that the Fu family, who are always fighting and killing, would open a hospital. Moreover, the hospital's medical skills are not bad, and patients are willing to go there for treatment.
Fu Mingjie originally also asked someone to investigate that guild hall, and the product came out just in passing, he also easily agreed.
"I know, I'll definitely bring it back for you."
It just so happened that at this time, the Fu family's worries came true. The investigation into Su Qing was done very secretly by the Fu family, but someone still found out. Although everyone didn't know why the Fu family was fixated on Su Qing, a little maid, it was clear that it wasn't a small matter since the Fu family attached such importance to it.
In a villa in Shanghai, there was a man and a woman. Both of them were wearing very little, just one piece of pajamas each.
The woman looked over twenty years old, dressed revealingly, with a flirtatious smile on her face, holding a cup of tea and walking away with a catwalk-like gait like a man.
The woman walked up and handed over the teacup slowly, opening her mouth slowly.
"I've already arranged everything, and we'll know more about it in a few days."
The man took a sip of tea and put the cup on the table. He wrapped his arms around the woman, holding her firmly in his embrace, and said with determination.
"The Fu family sent so many people to watch a girl for such a long time, it must be something big."
The woman didn't feel embarrassed at all in someone else's arms, instead she put her head on the man's chest and drew circles with her fingers on his chest.
"I think so too, we can't get in from Fu's side, I'll just let someone go directly to Su Qing."
The man was very satisfied with the woman's behavior, and in his eyes, the woman still had some brains. The man lowered his head to look at the person in his arms and smiled, one hand already reaching into the woman's pajamas to caress her full chest.
"You've done a great job, I was thinking the same thing too. Who did you send?"
The woman let out a comfortable moan and leaned her entire body into the man's arms.
I let my brother go in person, he's so clever and will definitely be able to handle things well.
The man was very satisfied with the person he sent away, and the strength in his hand couldn't help but increase, with a lewd smile at the corner of his mouth.
"He's gone and I'm at ease, you're really a considerate little thing."
The man finished speaking and gently kissed the woman's cheek, the woman was already panting under the man's caress, with a flush on her face.
"I'm so good to you and you don't even show any appreciation."
The girl gently twisted her body and wrapped her arms around the man's neck.
The man leaned in close to the other person's ear and whispered warmly, "Is it...?"
"Tell me, baby, what do you want? Is it beautiful clothes or jewelry?"
The woman scolded him for a moment, pretending to be angry and said.
"How could you think of me so lowly, stay tonight and keep me company."
The man burst out laughing as soon as he heard this request.
"You pesky little demon, aren't you afraid of being discovered by my father, Sixth Aunt?"
The woman heard the other person calling herself "yí niáng" (aunt), but instead of getting angry, she felt a kind of sneaky pleasure.
"You're really bad, luckily I always speak well of you, don't forget me when you sit on the throne as the master of the house."
"Don't worry, baby. Even if I forget myself, I won't be able to forget you." The man said and kissed the woman as they walked towards the big bed.
The man who is currently rolling in the bed is actually the second young master of the Lei family, who is making a big stir in Shanghai. The woman is not his girlfriend, but the newly acquired concubine of the head of the Lei family.
Nowadays, it's a society ruled by law, and even three-year-old children know that monogamy is the norm. However, the Lei family doesn't care about these things. Not to mention the countless women of Lei Jianxiong, the master of the Lei family, there are six with official status in the household.
The woman who is currently hanging out with Lei Xiang is the newly entered sixth wife of the Lei family, Xu Xiangshan. Originally, she also wanted to marry a young and talented man, but Lei Jianxiong took a liking to her, and her father wanted to climb up the big tree of the Lei family, so he sent his daughter into the Lei family.
Xu Xiangshan was favored, but in the Lei family, she had no power and was often bullied. At this time, Lei Xuan appeared and helped her a lot, and her heart fell easily. Although she knew that such a relationship would be very dangerous if discovered, even with anxiety every day, she still felt happy.
But Lei Xiang's idea is not that simple. Lei Jianxiong currently has five children, three sons and two daughters. Lei Xiang is the second child, with an older brother above him. He has less power in the family than his brother and does not have a younger brother who is favored, so he chose Xu Xiangshan, who had just entered the Lei family, to increase his own chips.
Help her when she feels most helpless, then slowly occupy her heart. Lei Xiang only treated the beautiful woman under him as a tool to satisfy his desires, a tool to speak well for himself in front of his father and gather intelligence.
But Xu Xiangshan has already fallen deeply in love, so deep that she can't tell what's real and what's fake, all she knows is that Lei Xuan is good to her. Love has made her lose her mind, completely losing the cleverness she had before.
This time, Lei Jianxiong handed over the investigation of Su Qing's matter to Lei Xiang for handling. Lei Xiang thought this was a good opportunity to win his father's appreciation. Lei Xiang told Xu Xiangshan about this matter, hoping that he would go all out to help himself. Lei Xiang sent some of his men to Beijing, and Xu Xiangshan also mobilized the power of the Xu family, even having his own brother participate personally.
In this way of doing things in tandem, Lei wants to have some gains for himself.
