Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1761 Ode to Joy + The First Half of My Life 25

Chen Junsheng was originally worried because Luo Zijun misunderstood his relationship with the new intern at the company, which almost caused him to lose an important client. Reflecting on the increasingly suffocating relationship between him and his wife, he really wanted to find a space outside where he could breathe for a moment.

Unexpectedly, the changes in Tang Jing's relationship with He Han also affected Luo Zijun. She became completely absorbed in the promises Tang Jing made for her, gradually neglecting her family. Sometimes, she even felt that when she returned home, she was completely ignored by her wife and children.

That's right. Chen Junsheng still believes that Tang Jing opened the flower shop after learning about the misunderstanding between him and the company intern caused by Luo Zijun, so that Luo Zijun would have something to do and not keep an eye on him all day, thus completely destroying their years-long relationship.

So Chen Junsheng was initially very grateful to Tang Jing, and even went to her door to express his thanks.

Unexpectedly, Tang Jing smiled and mocked him for being presumptuous: "You think I want Ziju to stop focusing all her attention on you and give you some breathing room? But what I'm thinking is that if Ziju has her own career, even if you end up divorced, she will have the confidence to fight for Ping'er's custody."

Chen Junsheng's smile vanished. Reflecting on Luo Zijun's transformation over the past two or three months, Chen Junsheng had no doubt about Tang Jing's words. He could only awkwardly offer a hasty thank you: "Regardless of your motives, the outcome has been good for my husband and me, and for our whole family..."

After a while, Tang Jing was about to send him away when Chen Junsheng finally abandoned his hesitation and revealed what he had inadvertently learned about He Han: "There's something I don't know if you still want to know, but I overheard He Han asking a Miss Qu about another Miss Qu. In Shanghai, there aren't many Miss Qus with names and surnames. The Qu family, which made their fortune in real estate, is one of them. And that Qu family happens to have two Miss Qus, one of whom is particularly beautiful."

When Tang Jing suddenly learned who He Han was pursuing, she couldn't help but be slightly dazed for a moment before she composed herself and smiled slightly at Chen Junsheng: "He Han and I are over. No matter who the other person is or whether they look up to He Han or not, the moment they had other thoughts about this relationship, we were over."

Chen Junsheng knew that He Han's cheating would be a major blow to Tang Jing, and frankly, his relationship with Tang Jing hadn't reached that point yet, so he could only manage a forced smile. Even the news about "Miss Qu" was merely a way to repay Tang Jing for the convenience and benefits she had brought him, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

After Chen Junsheng left, Tang Jing couldn't resist inquiring about Miss Qu of the Qu family, who made their fortune in Shanghai real estate. Without even alerting anyone, she managed to find out a lot about the Qu family. After all, Qu Lianjie was a conspicuous person, and Old Qu had become a well-known conservative who favored sons over daughters in the circle!

Of course, the hidden succession struggle within the Qu family is also one of the dramas that the outside world is eagerly anticipating. After all, it is widely known that of the three children in the Qu family, Old Master Qu only favors the incompetent Qu Lianjie because of his male gender, while he only shows superficial affection for his two smarter daughters and has never considered letting them inherit the family business.

Originally, everyone was just secretly looking forward to it, but now that both of the Qu family's daughters have graduated from university and are about to decide on their future paths, everyone suddenly discovered that the youngest daughter of the Qu family is quite good at stock trading. She stirred up a storm in the US stock market and came back to directly acquire a film and television production company that is not too big or too small. I heard that her first drama is about to be released.

Another young lady from the Qu family, I heard, has also started her own small company. Although she hasn't yet achieved anything that will impress everyone, she's already quite accomplished compared to Qu Lianjie, that obviously spendthrift son.

Tang Jing's actions were a bit too much, which finally alerted Yao Bin. Without alerting Tang Jing, Yao Bin thoroughly investigated her situation with He Han, Luo Zijun, and even Chen Junsheng. He then eagerly took the information to Qu Xiaoxiao to claim credit.

Qu Xiaoxiao didn't even need to look. Just knowing that it was He Han's girlfriend—oh, now his ex-girlfriend—investigating their family, she couldn't help but jump up and down in anger: "Ha! I knew that He Han was trying to take advantage of a young girl and would definitely cause trouble for Xin Xin, so I didn't say a word to He Han. I didn't expect that He Han's ex-girlfriend would be so capable, managing to sneak into our house!"

Yao Bin, who always revered Qu Xiaoxiao, immediately asked, "In their consulting circle, reputation is quite important, especially if a scandal affects your work. All the clients and reputation you've built up can vanish instantly. Xiaoxiao, how far do you want to go?"

Qu Xiaoxiao managed to suppress her anger and turned to Yao Bin, who had refused her: "Although that scumbag and bitch don't deserve sympathy, I think we should still explain this to Xin Xin. You know, Xin Xin is different. If she finds out about our private actions, she won't be so easily grateful."

Yao Bin recalled the awkwardness between Qu Xiaoxiao and Qu Xinxin over the years. Seeing Qu Xiaoxiao's unusually serious expression and hearing her categorize him as being on the same side, he was already overjoyed. He didn't even realize what he had just agreed to.

Qu Xiaoxiao felt a mix of smugness and disdain as she looked at his infatuated expression. She couldn't help but feel regret that Yao Bin wasn't handsome enough, otherwise she wouldn't have been looking for someone better while still having a choice.

Of course, the biggest advantage Yao Bin had over Qu Xiaoxiao was that, more importantly, he was the first and only person who, after meeting Qu Xinxin, still firmly chose her.

Therefore, Qu Xiaoxiao's state of mind regarding Yao Bin is that she will never easily let go, but she is just a little short of fully accepting him.

Leaving aside the somewhat complicated relationship between Qu Xiaoxiao and Yao Bin, let's just say that Qu Xiaoxiao, armed with the information on He Han, Tang Jing, Luo Zijun, and Chen Junsheng, rushed to find Qu Xinxin.

Qu Xiaoxiao was determined not to suffer this loss: "Xinxin, once you get involved in those things between men and women, no matter if you're really innocent or not, those idle people outside will always find a way to attack you. I know you don't care, and even our Qu family can stand up for ourselves, but He Han and Tang Jing are just too disgusting, they insist on making things difficult for you!"

"My advice is, don't show up in front of that crazy couple. You can disagree with me on other things, but I have the right to speak on these matters!"

Qu Xiaoxiao was happy to take the task, and Qu Xinxin was naturally very optimistic about it, so she agreed immediately: "Let's make sure the other party really has no ill intentions first. The rest is up to you. After it's done, you'll get 20% of my small company's shares."

Qu Xiaoxiao wanted to decline, but the small company Qu Xinxin mentioned was the film and television production company where she was currently working. There were so many handsome men in the entertainment industry, she really couldn't bear to give it up, so she had no choice but to accept it half-heartedly, thinking that at worst she would work hard to save her precious younger sister some trouble.
