Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xing Linlin and Cheng Xingyang got into the car. A blanket of silence ensued. After the car drove for a distance, Xing Linlin finally said with reddened eyes, “Did Mr. Cheng Lang really give that villa to Xing Shu?”
Cheng Xingyang was in a bad mood. When he heard Xing Linlin mention this, his tone became harsh. “On the first day Young Uncle returned to Cheng Corporation Group, I stared down the barrel of a gun. As a result, Young Uncle gave the villa to Xing Shu as a greeting gift.”
Greeting gift? Xing Linlin trembled with anger. She had been by Cheng Xingyang’s side for so many years and became his mistress willingly. She only got the villa after all her sacrifices and absolute obedience to him. In the end, Cheng Lang actually gave it to Xing Shu as a gift? The words “greeting gift” were like a slap to her face.
Xing Linlin could not help but hazard a guess. “Why would Mr. Cheng Lang give
Xing Shu such a lavish gift? Could they…”
Cheng Xingyang was instantly impatient. “This is lavish? Young Uncle dominated Wall Street at the age of 16 or 17. To him, 20 million yuan is nothing. Although he is the President of Cheng Corporation Group, his personal assets are much more than Cheng Corporation Group’s. No one knows just how much money he has made overseas.”
The younger generation of the Cheng family all admired Cheng Lang deeply. He was the benchmark of the industry, the epitome of success.
Cheng Xingyang’s words made Xing Linlin’s heart burn even more. If she could catch Cheng Lang’s eye, she could ask for the moon and would still get it. She already had the intention to play up to Cheng Lang and gain his favor to begin with. Now that she heard Cheng Xingyang’s words, she was desperate to meet Cheng Lang. She pretended to mention casually, “Mr. Cheng Lang has such an eminent status. Shouldn’t you find time to treat him to a meal? Get in good with him and win him over.” She was about to say that she would go along when the time came, but Cheng Xingyang’s next words instantly shattered her hopes. “Even if there’s a meal to be had, I have to bring Xing Shu along. You can’t go. Members of the Cheng family can fool around, but it’s best not to parade it in front of Young Uncle. If I bring you along for the meal, I can forget about returning to Cheng Corporation Group for the rest of my life.”
The last trace of color on Xing Linlin’s face faded. She was livid! Was she destined to be Cheng Xingyangs mistress for the rest ofher life? How could she accept this?!
