Although he hadn't slept for a night, Chen Ergou still got up on time, sprang out of bed, and after washing up, he went to practice his arm strength with his spear. Without Zhang Sanqian leaning against the tree, Chen Ergou felt somewhat melancholic. That kid was like a stone that he had carved halfway through, only to have someone else take it away to engrave. Although he knew clearly that for Zhang Sanqian, being trained by Master Guo would be better, he couldn't help but feel a little regret.
One by one, they threw away their sweat, and when they finally finished, they found a familiar face standing in the distance. It was the girl from the south-facing villa who appeared every morning at dawn. She looked like she had nothing to do with the world. She stared at Chen Ergou, stretched out her hand and gestured to Zhang Sanqian's height, seemingly puzzled as to why the child hadn't appeared. Chen Ergou wasn't too wary of her, besides, if someone really could kill their way to Zhuge Qingming, he couldn't stop them anyway. He explained to her: "He went to learn erhu and calligraphy with someone."
The girl pointed at her mouth and ears with a warm smile, with a hint of apology.
Chen Ergou was stunned for a few seconds before he realized she was deaf and dumb. For a moment, he was dazed and distracted by the elegant demeanor of Cao Jing's family, which made him forget her face. He had also seen the aura of Zhu Ye Qing's Di Nu, who looked at the world with disdain but was actually full of fear. This gave Chen Ergou a misunderstanding that most beauties did not have fatal flaws, and even if they did, he, as a small commoner from this world, couldn't see them. It wasn't until today that he met this quiet girl.
If Chen Ergou could still exchange words with Zhang Xiangxue and other women who were a bit crazy, for the young woman in front of him who was from two different worlds, there really wasn't half a common language. Chen Ergou didn't have Wang Hu's clever tongue or Xiao Mei's natural talent for socializing, and neither did the girl. After they smiled at each other, they awkwardly parted ways. Chen Ergou returned to his doghouse and made himself breakfast, washed the dishes and chopsticks, when suddenly there was a knock on the door. The person who came was quite unexpected - it was the woman who had let Chen Ergou ride in her Audi Q7 for the first time. She was Wei Duan Gong's third wife. She wasn't Wei Duan Gong or Cao Jinglian, and she didn't really want to set foot in Chen Ergou's room, which was worse than a bathroom. But out of politeness, she suppressed her inner discomfort and walked in, very directly telling Chen Ergou, "I came today because I heard Guo Qianyu's opinion, wanting you to do something for the Wei family. However, before that, those two people also wanted to meet you first."
"When can we meet?" Chen Erdou also agreed readily.
"No problem, let's go now and take my car directly." This rumor that the woman who can give birth to a son ultimately failed to fulfill Wei Duan Gong's wish of continuing the family line. She is a woman with a delicate appearance and demeanor, always grasping the initiative in her actions. Although she seems to be asking, she doesn't give Chen Er Gou a chance to refuse. Perhaps for her, Chen Er Gou is just a young man who has walked into good fortune, with a decent foundation and an initial impression that was still okay. But if he really wants to become the last protective umbrella of the seven women in the Wei family, it seems a bit ridiculous. At least she didn't take it seriously, purely as a formality, just to give Guo Qian Yu a face.
Getting back into the Audi, Chen Ergou recalled the scene of meeting Xuzhu Qingming at the 21st Villa, also feeling anxious and uneasy like now, but this time he had a surge of momentum that even Chen Ergou himself did not anticipate, that kind of wanting to personally grasp something that would not be swayed **, Cao Jingjian might see it as ambition at a glance, but Chen Ergou was just following his instincts to brew the next step.
The woman driving was Ji Jing, who had given birth to a pair of twin daughters for Wei Duan Gong, both of whom had just entered kindergarten. She herself did not have a formal career and was mixed in the company system of Wei Duan Gong, doing an idle job that only took money but didn't do anything, a shareholder who was neither high nor low, with annual dividends not being small, but having no opportunity to intervene in major decisions. This point was completely different from Fang Jie Gao, the big wife who had occupied the dominant position and monopolized the right to speak after Wei Duan Gong's death.
Ji Jing said that it's impossible not to feel jealous and a little sour, but Fang Jie was the legitimate wife who followed Wei Duan Gong to conquer the world over 20 years ago. She had to endure the pain in her heart for the sake of that former number one beauty in Nanjing, Zhou Jingru. Today, they went to Fang Jie's Zhongshan Golf Villa, which is under her name, to hold a small family gathering. The ostensible purpose was to review Chen Ergou, but in reality, it was about the inheritance rights of various properties after Wei Duan Gong's death.
Entering the Zhongshan Golf Villa, they finally arrived at a grand villa with a large fish pond. With the Q7, there were four cars parked in total. The sum of these luxury items made Chen Ergou speechless. Following Ji Jing into the luxurious villa, he didn't look around like he did when he got out of Chen Yuanshu's Maserati, but instead maintained a dignified posture.
Chen Yuanshu is similar in nature to them, but there are great differences. Chen Ergou's performance in front of Chen Yuanshu is nothing more than creating an image that has no lethal power against her, so that she can recruit him without any worries. As for the effect, Chen Ergou doesn't go guessing. But today, if he still didn't show any sharpness after arriving at this villa, how could he possibly get that hard-won rice bowl?
Wei Xiacao saw Chen Ergou, with a bad expression, and under her mother's instructions, she took the two twin sisters upstairs. She didn't understand how this cunning guy not only wasn't kicked out of the Shan Shui Hua Gate Wei family villa but also entered Zhongshan Golf. This villa was Fang Jie's territory, she didn't say anything, Zhou Jingzhen and Ji Jing also didn't speak, Chen Ergou could only stand there, in the spacious and almost empty hall, this young man held a coin in his palm, calm and composed.
They were sizing him up, and Chen Ergou also took a glance at Fang Jie and Zhou Jingru. Fang Jie wasn't pretty, but she had an elegant demeanor, sitting there calmly and quietly. Although she was the least stunning of the three women, one glance could tell that she was the decisive figure. She dressed conservatively, without the flashy air that Ji Qingying wore to show off her wealth.
Zhou Jingzhen, a beautiful woman, an extremely beautiful woman, so beautiful that men can't take their eyes off her. This was Chen Ergou's first impression, and only such a woman could give birth to a beauty like Wei Dongchong. According to reason, this woman should be proud and disdainful of Chen Ergou, but she was the most gentle of the three women towards him, at least on the surface. She smiled warmly at Chen Ergou, with a maternal affection that had a hint of ambiguous meaning between men and women. This flavor could only be sensed and not expressed in words. If Chen Ergou hadn't seen many beautiful women before, he would have been defeated by her beauty at first glance. In contrast, Ji Jing remained indifferent and neutral, like an outsider.
"Floating life, sit down." Fang Jie finally spoke up, revealing a hint of courtesy smile.
"It's fine if I just stand and talk." Chen Ergou said in a soft voice, not too reserved, with a smile that wasn't too exaggerated, as light as his tone.
Fang Jie's heart was slightly surprised, her face as calm as ever, nodded and said: "From now on, we are family."
This sentence, if placed at the end of one or two hours, would not have surprised Zhou Jingzhen and Ji Jing too much, but now that it has just started, how can things be settled? Zhou Jingzhen slightly narrowed her eyes, and a cold smile flowed from her peach blossom-like eyes. She was not like Ji Jing, who was a little clever but didn't have big ambitions. Fang Jie's words and actions were meant to take the initiative and grasp control firmly in her hands. In fact, she had succeeded halfway, opening a very advantageous start for herself. However, Zhou Jingzhen didn't speak up, only casting a subtle glance at Chen Ergou, with a slight curl of her lips. Young man, from today on, you've leaped to great heights.
