Chapter 18: Meeting

The sky after the rain is always sunny and nice, and the heat of August will soon pass.

Since the day he met Lin Lang, Chi Jinyan ordered Rong Heng to look up information about him. The new project was about to be implemented, and he had no time to spend on torturing Cen Xia.

In the office of the president of Chi Group, Chi Jinyan was listening to the news from Rong Heng.

"Lin Lang, 31 years old, unmarried, no information has been found before. Three years ago, M Country Feilin Real Estate suddenly announced that some of its businesses, involving catering, entertainment, tourism, cross-border trade and other industries, would be handed over to Mr. Lin Lang, the only heir of the Lin family. There is no introduction to this person's life, but it is said that the Lin family does have such a son. No media has ever exposed his appearance. It is said that he has always claimed to be sick ... "

Chi Jinyan tapped the table with his fingers, frowning , " That's it?" He was somewhat dissatisfied with Rong Heng's efficiency.

Rong Heng closed the information and lowered his head , " I haven't found much specific information, but it should be certain that Mr. Lin Lang seems to have nothing to do with the Cen family, otherwise Miss Cen would not be able to ... " Rong Heng glanced at the president and didn't dare to say any more.

Chi Jinyan didn't seem to notice that he interrupted him with his last sentence , " Don't forget, Cen Ming jumped into the sea, but the police didn't find his body."

He thought about it, staring at Rong Heng with sharp eyes.

Rong Heng was puzzled, "But he has already been disgraced. Miss Cen said that her brother has a deep scar on his palm but Lin Lang does not have that."

"This matter is not that simple. Maybe that person is not dead at all. With the current medical level, it is not that difficult to remove a scar. However, the Cen family does not have any relatives who can turn him into the successor of the Lin family. This is strange ... " Chi Jinyan hit the nail on the head.

Rong Heng looked at him in a daze. Chi Jinyan's vision has always been different from that of ordinary people. He has the ability to control everything.

After the master and the mistress passed away one after another, the Chi family was able to stand firm amid the situation of fighting among various parties.

Rong Heng admired this very much and always followed it.

He would never forget the arrogance of the seventeen-year-old Chi Jinyan standing at the highest level of the business empire in Qingcheng, looking down at everything below.

If he had not insisted on starting a family before officially taking over the company, the Cen family would not have taken advantage of it.

He has always put his career first, and has been working towards the goal of expanding his business empire and becoming famous in Qingcheng and even the world.

And so far no one has been able to defeat him.

After a moment of distraction, Rong Heng quickly replied , " President, what do you think?"

"Need I say more? DNA, get close to Lin Lang to find a hair and try it with Mr. Cen, let Cen Xia go meet him, no matter if it's true or not, it's not a bad thing for him to come to me for investment."

"It would be more interesting to have one more opponent, wouldn't it?"

Thinking of Cen Xia's pitiful appearance that night, a hint of pleasure rose in his eyes.

"It would be very interesting if Lin Lang knew that she was his biological sister."

Cen Xia did not reject being intimate with that person, which made him think that person was really not Cen Ming.

Listening to his words which seemed like he was talking to himself, Rong Heng felt a chill.

Young Master might regret it if he continues like this.

He was worried about what to do in the future, as he might have taken revenge out of hatred in the past.

－－

Cen Xia was allowed to go out, and she let Aunt Zhang come and dress her up.

I don’t know who I’m going to meet this time.

But the outfit doesn't look like someone who's going to an entertainment venue.

She's already living in the mud anyway.

It doesn't matter who you meet.

Chi Jinyan was sitting in a high-end Western restaurant.

He made an appointment with Lin Lang and invited him to dinner on a personal basis.

This western restaurant is also owned by the Chi family.

In order to allow him to entertain the guests quietly, the manager suggested to Secretary Rong that they close the shop today and only entertain the president.

But Chi Jinyan refused. He liked the bustling atmosphere of the restaurant and wanted to sit in the most conspicuous position in the hall.

Rong Heng knew what he was thinking and couldn't say much.

When Lin Lang arrived, Chi Jinyan was already waiting for him at his seat.

Seeing that people had arrived, Chi Jinyan greeted them politely.

He was asked to take a seat, and after a few pleasantries he got down to business.

"Mr. Lin, my wife really wants to see you."

Chi Jinyan looked at Lin Lang opposite him and talked about Cen Xia leisurely.

"In fact, Mr. Lin looks a lot like my wife's deceased brother, Cen Ming. Over the years, she has been overly sad and in a bad mood, and she almost suffered from mental illness. I want to make her happier, so I told her about Mr. Lin without her permission. Mr. Lin won't mind, right?"

Chi Jinyan had a slightly sad look on his face as he spoke, as if he himself believed those words.

Lin Lang smiled slightly , " No, President Chi and his wife are so loving, it's really enviable."

The two men smiled and started talking about business, each with their own thoughts.

As soon as Cen Xia entered the door, she saw such a peaceful scene.

They both looked at her at the same time.

The panic in Cen Xia's eyes could not escape Chi Jinyan's sight.

He stood up and walked towards her. She had to be held by him despite her reluctance. It was just her wrist, he would not interlock their fingers.

The voice reached her right ear imperceptibly , " The consequences of disobeying will be serious."

"Mr. Lin, this is my wife, Cen Xia."

Lin Lang slowly stood up, smiled and politely extended his hand , " Hello, Miss Cen, I am Lin Lang."

Cen Xia stretched out his hand stiffly and shook it casually.

I didn’t know how Chi Jinyan pulled me to sit in the seat, I just felt like a puppet.

Listening to the two of them chatting intermittently.

He looked at her from time to time and responded with a graceful smile.

She heard Chi Jinyan leave the table with an excuse and then stood up.

Looking at Chi Jinyan's leaving back, his hands kept shaking.

He grabbed the clean water on the table with difficulty and brought it to his mouth with some bumps.

Lin Lang noticed her discomfort and asked casually , " Ms. Cen, your fingers are very suitable for playing the piano. I wonder if you have this hobby?"

Cen Xia looked at him in surprise, her heart beating in her throat. She was excited but did not dare to answer.

She knew that Chi Jinyan was somewhere at this moment, watching her every move.

After guzzling a glass of water, he gradually calmed down and asked , " Mr. Lin, where are you from?"

"M Country, I grew up there, this is my first time in Qingcheng, an old friend recommended me here, I want to discuss international trade with President Chi."

He only asked one question but received so many answers, but it did not arouse Cen Xia's suspicion.

"Where's Miss Cen? It seems that Mr. Chi cares about you very much. You must be very happy."

Cen Xia's fingers kept shaking, and for a moment she felt that this person was her brother.

But after hearing his words, my doubts were dispelled.

"Happy? Probably."

After a pause, he replied , " I have been growing up in Qingcheng since I was a child. I haven't had the opportunity to go out and see the world yet."

"Really? I guess President Chi is too busy with work to care about Mrs. Chi."

Cen Xia looked at the man whose appearance and voice were extremely similar to her brother's.

The sorrow in my heart wanted to burst out all at once.

The tears in my eyes could not be stopped any longer.

She opened her mouth to say something.

When he saw the person coming behind him, he was frightened by the look in his eyes and retracted his gaze.

Lin Lang saw everything abnormal, and Chi Jinyan's arrival made him understand something.

Chi Jinyan sat next to her and held her hand.

I asked her falsely , " Why are you so cold? Are you feeling unwell again?"

He turned to look at Lin Lang with a worried look on his face , " Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, it looks like we can't have this meal. My wife's mental state is not very good, I have to take her home."

Lin Lang just smiled, made a gesture and said nothing.

Chi Jinyan pulled Cen Xia and walked outside.

As the waiter opened the door, she quickly turned to look at Lin Lang.

Her eyes were blurred with tears and her mouth opened, wanting to say something.

Then he disappeared through the door.

Lin Lang clenched his fingers tightly, his eyes revealing reluctance and heartache.

"Black Rose - You are a devil, and you belong to me..."
