"Hahaha... Chen Jie, you're something else!"
Wang Fa suddenly burst into hearty laughter, his face flushed with joy. "Do you know why I agreed to your marriage with my daughter?"
Chen Jie was taken aback. He had expected Wang Fa to turn hostile, but his current demeanor left him utterly bewildered.
"It's not because you can destroy the Zhou and Ye families, nor is it because of your potential! I simply admire your confident attitude! Marry! You must marry! Even if you don't agree, I will make Xiao Yan marry you!"
"Come, let's set a date now!"
Wang Fa boomed with laughter.
"Dad!" Wang Xiao Yan excitedly threw herself into Wang Fa's arms, her face alight with excitement.
"Silly girl, you're my only daughter. Whatever you want, how could your father not fight for it for you? You two shall set your wedding date!" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Jiang Long let out a quiet sigh of relief.
He couldn't afford to offend the Wang family.
He had only come to see Chen Jie through the motions; he had no say in anything else.
This outcome was the best possible.
"Excuse me, is this the Wang residence?" Just as the group was discussing the wedding arrangements, more people arrived.
Everyone looked outside and saw a group of men in suits, accompanied by a handsome young man, walking in.
"This is the Wang residence. Who are you?" Wang Fa asked, puzzled.
The man in the suit at the forefront spoke, "We are from Beiyang Law Firm, representing Wang Feiyang to discuss property inheritance matters with Miss Wang Xiao Yan."
"Wang Feiyang?" Wang Fa exclaimed.
Chen Jie and Jiang Long remained silent.
Wang Xiao Yan asked, "Dad, who is Wang Feiyang?"
Wang Fa replied unnaturally, "Wang Feiyang is your elder uncle."
"What? I thought I only had Uncle Wang Li?" Wang Xiao Yan gasped.
Wang Fa explained, "It's normal that you don't know some things. Your Uncle Wang Feiyang is actually your grandfather's illegitimate son. Your grandfather mentioned him to me when he was alive, but I never met him."
"I have another uncle?" Wang Xiao Yan murmured.
Wang Fa quickly turned to the man in the suit and asked, "You mentioned discussing property inheritance just now. What about my elder brother?"
"Mr. Wang, please accept my condolences. Wang Feiyang passed away just the day before yesterday. We searched through several cities to find you." the man in the suit replied.
Thud!
Wang Fa sank onto the sofa.
Wang Xiao Yan sensed his emotional distress and went to his side, calling out, "Dad!"
Wang Fa waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "Your grandfather said that my elder brother suffered hardships from a young age. I always wanted to meet this elder brother, but your grandfather always stopped me. He said my elder brother disliked our family very much. I never expected that the first news I would receive about him would be in this manner."
He then said to the man in the suit, "Since my elder brother disliked us, we won't inherit his property. Let's donate it directly to a charity organization."
The man in the suit was shocked. "Billions in assets, and you want to donate it just like that? Is that... appropriate?"
"What? Billions?" Wang Fa shot up from the sofa, exclaiming in disbelief.
He had only thought his grandfather's illegitimate son had a bit of money.
He never imagined his assets would be ten times that of the Wang family!
The man in the suit understood Wang Fa's reaction.
He then turned to Wang Xiao Yan. "You must be Miss Wang. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Zhang Zhong, a representative from Beiyang Law Firm. Wang Feiyang designated us to handle his property inheritance."
"Miss Wang, Mr. Wang Feiyang had no children. Before his passing, he designated you as the sole inheritor of all his assets. Therefore, you will need to cooperate with us to receive all the properties of Feiyang Group."
"Please sit down and tell us more," Wang Xiao Yan said.
Their conversation was not conducted in private, so Chen Jie quickly grasped the gist of the situation.
Chen Jie was surprised that the notion of unexpected wealth was actually happening in real life.
It was unfortunate that the Wang family was not entirely destitute.
It turned out that Wang Fa's elder brother had been working diligently in the provincial capital for years, establishing Feiyang Company with assets in the hundreds of billions.
Just two days prior, Wang Feiyang had passed away from cancer, and his assets were being processed by the law firm.
Wang Xiao Yan was Wang Feiyang's designated heir.
This was a company worth hundreds of billions; the Wang family had no reason not to accept it.
Once everyone had confirmed their intentions, the young man beside them approached Wang Xiao Yan with a smile. "Miss Wang, allow me to introduce myself. I am a major partner of Feiyang Group, Yin Chuji, from the Yin family."
"Are you involved in this matter as well?" Wang Xiao Yan asked, surprised.
Yin Chuji's gaze towards Wang Xiao Yan held a hint of lust, but he managed to conceal it well.
"I am here for two reasons. Firstly, to find an old friend of my Yin family in Pingcheng, and secondly, to invite Miss Wang to promptly take on the position of CEO of Feiyang Company and oversee its operations!"
"Ah? You want me to go to the provincial capital? I'm afraid that won't be possible. I am the CEO of Wang Enterprise, and I am also planning my wedding. I won't be able to go anytime soon." Wang Xiao Yan replied.
"Miss Wang is getting married?" Yin Chuji's expression changed.
Wang Xiao Yan nodded.
Yin Chuji immediately said, "I believe Miss Wang's wedding can be postponed. You are now a billionaire businesswoman; you must consider marriage carefully."
Chen Jie frowned. "Wang Xiao Yan's marriage does not require your consideration. You are meddling too much."
Yin Chuji immediately looked at Chen Jie, contemptuously. "You must be Miss Wang's fiancé. While my words may not be pleasant, they are the reality."
"You might have some influence in Pingcheng, and perhaps you were suitable for Miss Wang before, but now that Miss Wang possesses hundreds of billions in assets, you are no longer a match for her. If I were you, I would voluntarily step aside."
Yin Chuji had taken an instant liking to Wang Xiao Yan.
In his eyes, Wang Xiao Yan was the most elegant woman he had ever seen.
Therefore, he intended to break them up.
Before Chen Jie could speak, Wang Xiao Yan immediately retorted, "Whether Chen Jie is a match for me or not has nothing to do with you! It's not your place to interfere! If you came to our Wang family regarding my marriage to Chen Jie, then you can leave!"
Yin Chuji panicked. "Miss Wang, I am doing this for your own good! From today onwards, you are the CEO of a company worth billions. How can you be held back by a mere nobody?"
Slap!
The moment Yin Chuji finished speaking, Chen Jie slapped him across the face.
"Who do you think you are, to comment on me?" Chen Jie said unceremoniously.
"You little trash, you dare to hit me? Do you know who I am?"
Yin Chuji, holding his face, flew into a rage. He immediately shouted, "Get him!"
Then, five men from the group of suited individuals lunged at Chen Jie.
Chen Jie realized then that not all the men in suits were lawyers; some were Yin Chuji's subordinates.
Bang bang...
The next second, Chen Jie retaliated.
After a series of screams, the five men collapsed on the ground.
