Chapter 278 - Chapter 278 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada

Tang Yu, who returned to the villa, sneezed inexplicably.

"Did you catch a cold, Young Master Tang?"

Asked Chi Yin, who was cleaning in the house.

"No, just a little itch in my nose."

Tang Yu said, waving his hand.

"It's been cold lately, Young Master Tang, take care. Also, why didn't you return last night? Did you run into any problems?"

Chi Yin said, seeing that Tang Yu didn't seem quite well.

Chi Yin obediently went to prepare a cup of goji tea for Tang Yu.

"I went to find a rich woman to make money and support you all."

Tang Yu joked with a smile.

After drinking the goji tea, Tang Yu said goodbye and went upstairs to rest.

Chi Yin looked at him from behind, noticing several red marks on Tang Yu's neck, known as strawberries.

Suddenly, she fell into deep thought.

After resting for two days at home, Tang Yu, fully recovered, decided to rarely go to the Dayue Real Estate company.

The Tang family was now, without a doubt, the most powerful family in Su Hang.

But Su Hang was relatively small.

If they wanted to move forward even more, developing towards Yanjing was quite a good option.

Therefore, he planned to set up an investment department and start investing in some projects in Yanjing.

As a villain,

He didn't have to be showing off like Ye Qiu.

His thing was making money every day and spending time with beautiful women.

This is the main theme of his life.

---------------------------------------

Qi Family

As the richest family in Yanjing, The Qi family in Yanjing was known for its power and authority.

Especially after marrying into the Yun family.

The resources of both families complemented each other, and their influence grew even more.

The former residence of the Qi family was located on an ancient and mysterious street in Yanjing.

That street was so famous that the high society of Yanjing often joked that if a brick were thrown randomly, it would hit a great leader.

To live there, one had to have enough influence, and even second-tier families were not qualified to live there.

After spending two days at Liu Ruyan's villa, Yun Shishi finally returned by car to the Qi family's house.

After passing three security checks on the way, she parked her car and barely entered the door when she saw a man sitting on the sofa drinking tea with a gloomy face.

The man had a strong build and was tall, but his appearance was somewhat disfigured.

As for his facial appearance, It predicted a life of poverty and suffering.

However, he was the young master of the Qi family, with power and wealth, and he demonstrated with his skill that face reading is not always accurate.

After seeing Yun Shishi return, The man, who had been drinking tea, threw his cup to the floor with force.

The sound of the glass breaking made Yun Shishi flinch slightly.

"Damned bitch! What were you doing out for two days without coming back? What the hell did you do?"

After breaking the cup, Qi Xinghan shouted angrily.

Upon hearing his shout, the Qi family servants quickly stepped aside, pretending not to see anything.

The scandals of these big families were not something servants like them could just enjoy and observe.

"Do I have to inform you of everything I do, even if I go to see my friends?"

Yun Shishi, who was startled by the shout, responded coldly.

She was already used to this man's outbursts.

"How do I know if you've been out having sex? Bitch, is it so hard for you to stay home?"

Qi Xinghan, with a fierce expression, raised his hand to slap her.

He had been fed up with his wife for a long time!

"What are you doing?"

Just as Qi Xinghan was about to hit her, A commanding voice was heard from outside the door.

An elderly man with white hair, dressed in traditional Chinese clothing, entered and looked at Qi Xinghan with anger.

Seeing the old man, Qi Xinghan quickly hid his anger and, without showing any emotion, said:

"Grandfather."

"Hello, grandfather."

Yun Shishi also greeted the old man.

This man was the head of the Qi family, Qi Chengshan.

When he took over the leadership of the Qi family, this family was only a second-tier family in Yanjing.

Under his leadership, in less than ten years, the Qi family rose to the status of a top-tier family.

After the Ye family and other families in Yanjing entered a series of struggles, He kept the Qi family out of it, waiting for the right moment.

In one swift move, he consumed several families, bringing the Qi family to where it was today.

"Imprudent! How many times have I told you? Treat Shishi better. If I see you doing something inappropriate again, I won't take responsibility for what happens."

Qi Chengshan said furiously.

After being scolded by his grandfather, Qi Xinghan dared not say anything and could only remain silent.

"Shishi, don't be angry with him. He has an impulsive temper, but he's just worried about you, which is why he gets so angry."

Qi Chengshan said while taking Yun Shishi's hand and speaking gently to her.

"It's fine."

Yun Shishi nodded, but what she was thinking was something else.

A man as astute as Qi Chengshan couldn't help but realize what Yun Shishi was thinking.

He sighed to himself.

This girl, he had watched her grow up since she was little.

He and Yun Shishi's grandfather were lifelong friends, almost like brothers.

When the marriage between the two families was arranged, both sides were quite satisfied with the deal.

But who would have imagined that the marriage would end up like this?

Of course, he knew that the main problem lay with his own grandson.

Any man with serious deficiencies in that aspect would end up developing psychological problems.

But, in the end, he was still his grandson.

"They're husband and wife, bedroom fights are settled quickly. They still have a lifetime together, there's nothing they can't overcome."

After defending his grandson a little, Qi Chengshan suggested that they go to the shopping mall.

Now that he was older and no longer involved in family affairs, He spent his days walking in the park, playing chess, or visiting shopping malls to pass the time.

The three had just stepped out of the Qi family house when

A handsome young man approached them from outside.

Seeing them, the young man quickly greeted them.

"Grandfather, where are you taking my brother and sister-in-law?"

"We're going to the shopping mall to take a stroll."

Qi Chengshan smiled and nodded, but did not invite the young man to join them.

The young man in front of them was also his grandson, named Qi Ruoyan.

He was Qi Xinghan's brother, though of a different mother.

To put it bluntly, he was an illegitimate son.

The fool of his son had an affair with a small star and, as expected, ended up being deceived.

When the woman secretly gave birth to this child, she started looking for ways to extract money from the Qi family.

Desperate, the Qi family had to pay the woman to take the child away and bring him back.

For this reason, Qi Chengshan did not feel very close to this grandson.

The young man showed a slight sadness in his eyes but smiled.

"Then, take care on the way, I must go back to work."

After saying goodbye, the young man quickly walked away.

The three got into the car and arrived at a large nearby shopping mall.

There, they began to walk through the aisles.

Throughout the journey, Qi Xinghan remained silent, almost not saying a word.

Mainly because the elderly Qi was talking animatedly with Yun Shishi, his daughter-in-law.

He was telling stories from his youth and anecdotes about Yun Shishi's grandfather.

Yun Shishi smiled as she listened.

But inside, she didn't feel well at all.

The elderly man was talking to her about those things, but in the end, he was just giving her a subtle hint.

He was telling her, in few words, that the two families were inevitably tied together.

He was asking her to swallow her resentments and not have other thoughts.

Otherwise, the Yun family would not support her.

Being the eldest daughter was one thing, but once married, it was a completely different matter.

While they were talking, a man, several meters away, watched them closely.

It was Ye Qiu, who had been waiting there to follow them.

Since the Wei family began to trouble the Wuji Group,

He had set his sights on the Qi family.

According to his original plan, after solving the problem with the Wei family, his next target was the Qi family.

Now that he had failed with the Wei family, He urgently needed to ally with the powerful Qi family.

To ensure that the Wei family wouldn't dare to cause him more trouble.

This way, he could prevent his plan from being completely ruined.

But what he didn't know was that

While he was following the Qi family, looking for an opportunity, A pair of eyes was secretly watching him with growing excitement.

If those eyes could speak, They would surely say: "Well, well, isn't Ye the kept man? He looks good after a few days, huh?"
