Chapter 1103: Chapter 893: Marriage in a Wealthy Family
Already sixty-two years old, Chen Pingsheng moved back to Magic City and lived near The Bund.
It’s still a small flat less than three hundred square ters, with floor-to-ceiling windows outside overlooking the Huangpu River.
The night scene is beautiful, and Pudong’s splendor and prosperity are visible at a glance.
Little Ji Ye is still on sumr vacation, and he’ll start first grade in middle school in September.
An’an’s eldest son Sun Sile has already completed his first year of high school; the Sun Family raised him well, and his innate aristocratic temperant makes him especially popular at school.
However, the family is strict, and he’s not allowed to date until university.
After university, the restrictions won’t be as rigid.
Since Chen Pingsheng moved here, his Small Day has been quite leisurely; if he’s not playing chess with the retired old n in the community, he’s practicing tai chi together.
Three generations in the family are currently still in the learning phase and are at least seven or eight years away from formally entering society after graduation.
He’s living comfortably, until Song Yanxi called him.
“Old Chen, aren’t you going to do sothing about your son’s situation?”
“There’s nothing to be done, children and grandchildren have their own fortunes.”
“Alright then, if you don’t care, I won’t either.”
Song Yanxi hung up the call, they’re an old husband and wife now, and worrying about matters like Chen Lu’s is really unnecessary.
…
Guangdong, Baiyun.
Chen Lu’s small investnt company is also set up nearby, and since resigning from Dream Fund, he hasn’t relied much on family resources.
Even those small entrepreneurs he cooperated with didn’t know he had such a powerful father.
Chen Lu didn’t venture into business alone, but brought along so friends from Dream Fund.
Zhao Kai is now his right-hand man.
In recent years, Chen Lu has completely lost the desire to prove himself; he just wants to find the best balance between life and work.
9 to 5, weekends off, all the benefits enjoyed by Dream Fund employees are available here too.
Being able to achieve this, Chen Lu is quite satisfied.
To compare himself with his two sisters would be to invite his own unhappiness.
As for Su Xiaoxi, she only cos back every ten days or half a month; she used to call every day, now it’s once a week.
Chen Lu never thought about separating from Su Xiaoxi, he just needs more family affection.
He’s financially free now, but his wife is often absent, and over ti, thoughts naturally arise.
At this mont, Shen Xi’s reappearance made him deeply captivated.
He started reminiscing about the little monts he shared with Shen Xi, uncontrollably wanting to get close to her again.
Shen Xi, being so famous and a renowned national music goddess, naturally doesn’t lack admirers.
Her feelings for Chen Lu are not what they used to be.
Their renewed contact is only as ordinary friends, and once word got out from Song Yanxi, Shen Xi swiftly vanished again, relocating abroad.
This left Chen Lu feeling very depressed, leading him to drink for several days, even Zhao Kai couldn’t stop him.
When Su Xiaoxi returned to Baiyun again, the cold war between them beca particularly apparent.
However, Su Xiaoxi still took care of his feelings and didn’t say anything at all.
Chen Lu, emboldened by alcohol, asked her, “Xiao Xi, if one day I find another woman, would you leave ?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“Because I can never repay your father’s kindness in this lifeti.”
“Just because of my father?”
“Also because you saved my youth and redeed my mother.”
Chen Lu leaned on the sofa, the two have been childhood sweethearts since young, married for ten years and are already parents to two children.
But now they have doubts about their feelings for each other.
“Xiao Xi, are you willing to give up your career in Xiangjiang to help run this small investnt company together?”
“I’m not willing.”
Su Xiaoxi doesn’t deceive him; she’s no longer that university girl who needed Chen Pingsheng’s guidance for everything.
Now she’s witnessed many joys and sorrows in rich families.
Once problems arise in a couple’s relationship, whether it’s the husband or wife, daring to give up one’s career to beco a housewife or househusband, the result is bound to be bleak.
Chen Lu is already at the threshold of feeling empty and lonely, ready to be swayed by outside temptations.
Under these circumstances, Su Xiaoxi is even less likely to abandon her career.
Ten years’ ti can change many things.
And it makes the once inseparable childhood sweethearts no longer the sa.
This is probably the true portrayal of the most beautiful love in dramas, ten years later.
Su Xiaoxi stayed ho for two days before leaving, and actually, Chen Lu could go to Xiangjiang too, he just doesn’t want to.
Their stalemate continued, until a university intern girl ca to apply for a job.
All balance was quickly shattered; the girl nad Zhang Qian was the most beautiful flower on campus.
She has a very pure appearance, giving people a highly innocent feeling.
Chen Lu quickly gained a sense of accomplishnt he never had before from her.
He wanted to spend money on this girl, each expense rewarded with her eyes filled with admiration and awe.
No matter how he was at ho, he’d built a small investnt company on his own.
Worth billions, still young, these factors combined, even married, are a fatal attraction for girls who have just entered society.
In just half a month, Chen Lu spent over thirty million on Zhang Qian.
Bought her a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, and a lavishly decorated flat in Baiyun.
Chen Lu regained his vanished passion and admiration as a man through her.
After drinking, the two naturally ended up in bed together.
Su Xiaoxi received the news, stayed silent for a long ti, tears streaming down unconsciously.
She didn’t imdiately rush to Baiyun, nor did she inform anyone around her.
She just faced it with silence.
Until Song Yanxi found out, she imdiately went to Baiyun and gave Zhang Qian five million to send her abroad.
With many children in the family, lodramatic events are inevitable.
Chen Pingsheng, however, acted as if nothing happened, unwilling to manage what he couldn’t.
When a man cheats, it’s either zero tis or countless tis.
Since Chen Lu started, he won’t end with just Zhang Qian in the future.
Song Yanxi can drive away one, but can she constantly do so?
Such matters are commonplace in rich families.
It’s safe to say that no man in a rich family has been solely devoted to his wife.
Chen Lu not having found anyone in ten years is already considered a miracle.
At least in their circle, it definitely counts as a miracle.
It all depends on Su Xiaoxi’s own attitude after all.
As a father, he truly doesn’t have the face to advise her to be magnanimous.
As for divorce, it’s even less likely; even if Su Xiaoxi leaves Chen Lu, can she guarantee her next partner won’t have the sa problem?
If it can’t be guaranteed, maintaining the status quo by turning a blind eye is the best way to handle it.
And this thod is widely used in rich families.
