Chapter 803: Chapter 803: A Formidable Rival in Love is Coming
“I need to check if we still have any fruit left at home…”
“Grandma,” the five-year-old Little Baby spoke anxiously on her lap, wanting to tell her they wouldn’t be eating at home that evening, but seeing her so happy, he found himself unable to speak.
Lin Zhiya continued to instruct the butler to buy various things before she noticed the little one in her arms and happily exclaimed, “I remember now, Little Baby, I bought you a lovely outfit last time, didn’t I? Come on, let’s go change you into it. When your mom comes, we can have her change as well, how about that?”
That day, while shopping, she had seen an adorable mother-and-child set.
Unable to resist, she had purchased the family set for three, which included an outfit for Shengxiao, now hanging in the wardrobe, meant for Yan to bring home later.
The outcome of Yan and Duidui’s outfits was something she could witness herself. Lin Zhiya’s anticipation grew stronger than Little Baby’s as she excitedly stood up and pushed Little Baby back to the villa to change clothes.
Capital City Airport Aerospace Building.
The person who had texted Rong Yan saying he was in a meeting was silently gazing at the airplanes on the runway, flanked by Cui Jiangjing and Fu Yi, who were deep in conversation.
“Who did the Chu Family send this time?”
“I’m not sure. It seems to be a woman, Madame Chu personally called Shengxiao to ask him to pick someone up from the airport,” Fu Yi said tepidly, adjusting his glasses with a smile that gave the false impression of a gentle nature, only Cui Jiangjing noticed the intrigue behind the glasses.
Cui Jiangjing rolled his eyes, “A woman? It couldn’t be… Shengxiao’s legendary fiancée, could it?”
Cui Jiangjing paced irritably, frowning, “The Chu Family’s young Miss has never shown herself publicly, keeping so low-profile she’s almost vanished. Why would she suddenly come to Capital City? Maybe she’s getting older and wants to marry?”
Damn, Shengxiao already has Rong Yan.
What business does this Miss of the Chu Family have running here!
The power dynamics in Zeka are complex, primarily dominated by a triad of the Chu Family, Lin Family, and Zhong Family. Of these three apex families in the power pyramid, the Lin Family’s dealings are the cleanest, the Zhong Family occupies the middle ground, and the Chu Family controls the most clandestine of forces. The more secretive the power, sometimes, the more terrifying and unstable it is.
The Chu Family members, compared to the other two families, have been much more low-key and many of the main family members migrated abroad early on.
Nobody can pinpoint the real stronghold of the Chu Family, but it is known they control ten percent of the global grey income.
They also hold power over the underground forces of several countries.
Such a family is too dangerous and too powerful.
Fu Yi narrowed his eyes and adjusted his glasses again, observing the expression of the man beside him, his lips slightly upturned, “This possibility is quite strong, otherwise I can’t think of any other reason for them to come to Capital City. Besides, it was Madame Chu who personally called Shengxiao, asking him to look after her for a while.”
Cui Jiangjing, disliking his almost spectator-like tone, punched him on the shoulder, “And you can still laugh! I’m almost going crazy.”
“What’s there to fret about?” Fu Yi pulled his hand away, his demeanor as light as a breeze, his features relaxed, “What’s meant to come will come; Shengxiao will have to face this eventually. It’s better it comes sooner so he can deal with it earlier.”
“Deal with it? That sounds nice. How do you suggest we deal with it? It’s the Chu Family, not just anyone else. If this isn’t handled well, even Li Group might get dragged into this.” He waved his hand and began pacing back and forth again, “Ultimately, this is all the previous generation’s mess.”
