Chapter Ten: He Even Dares to Pursue My Wife

As soon as Xu Meilan heard this, she shot Chen Yang a disdainful look and scolded, “Aren’t you just a delivery man? Who gave you the right to speak here?”

Chen Yang chuckled coldly at her words. “Aunt Meilan, I’m holding all the evidence of Qian Yan and Qian Hao reselling the family group’s pharmaceuticals. Are you sure you want me to expose all that?”

“Expose it then! If you have the guts, go ahead. Who do you think you can scare?” Xu Meilan was not to be outdone, still putting on a brave front even at this stage.

“Very well, remember, you said it yourself. I have the phone number of the person in charge at Hua Jiang Pharmaceuticals right here. We’re already in contact. All it takes is a single call, and he’ll come straight to Qian Group and reveal every detail of the deals he made with Qian Yan and Qian Hao. Is that really what you want?” Chen Yang narrowed his eyes as he asked.

For a moment, Xu Meilan dared not utter a word.

Because she had a vague idea about her son and daughter secretly reselling company pharmaceuticals. And the biggest profits came precisely from transactions with Hua Jiang Pharmaceuticals.

At first, Xu Meilan thought Chen Yang was just bluffing, and she would never have fallen for it. But when he spoke the words “Hua Jiang Pharmaceuticals,” she realized that things were far from simple.

Perhaps Chen Yang really did know something. If it all came out, it would be a devastating blow to her son and daughter.

Xu Meilan fell silent, unable to say a word.

Qian Yan’s brows were tightly knitted, her expression grave.

At that moment, Han Qin immediately sensed something was wrong. With sudden realization, she said, “Oh, I see now. I was wondering how your son and daughter suddenly became so rich. Turns out, all that money has questionable origins.”

“Don’t talk nonsense,” Xu Meilan scolded, but her tone was far less forceful than before.

Han Qin looked disappointed. “Sister-in-law, after all the kindness Grandpa Mu Xue’s family has shown yours, how could you do something that would hurt him? If the old man found out, how heartbroken would he be?”

Xu Meilan’s heart ached with guilt, and she shouted, “Enough! No more!”

Seeing Xu Meilan had been sufficiently chastised, Chen Yang glanced at Han Qin and said, “Mom, I always thought their family was so wealthy, but it turns out their money has shady origins.”

“Yes,” Han Qin said gravely, but inside, she was elated—she had finally vented her frustration.

“Let’s go. As they say, heaven sees everything. Even if I don’t expose this, sooner or later, everyone will find out,” Chen Yang said deliberately.

Han Qin nodded emphatically. Then, feeling fully vindicated, she addressed Xu Meilan, “Sister-in-law, did you hear that? Heaven sees everything. You’d better tell Qian Hao and Qian Yan to stop doing these despicable things.”

Xu Meilan was so angry she ground her teeth, but this time she was left speechless.

Han Qin relaxed visibly, smiled, and then beaming, said to Chen Yang, “Chen Yang, let’s head home.”

“Alright.” Chen Yang flashed her a small smile.

Chen Yang and Han Qin left in high spirits.

This time, it was clear that Chen Yang and Han Qin emerged victorious.

No sooner had they left than Xu Meilan, clutching her chest in anger, demanded, “How did he find out about this?”

Qian Yan, standing nearby, knew exactly who her mother meant. She replied, irritated, “Mom, how would I know?”

“You two are going to kill me with anger!” Xu Meilan’s face flushed crimson with fury.

Qian Yan was just as frustrated. She patted her mother’s back and said, “I’m sorry, Mom. Please calm down. Don’t get so worked up that you make yourself ill.”

In a fit of rage, Xu Meilan flung her expensive black handbag to the floor. “How can I not be angry?”

Qian Yan’s brow remained furrowed, and her heart was filled with hatred for Chen Yang. She began plotting in her mind: when she saw her brother, she would talk to him about making Chen Yang lose his job, fail, become a laughingstock, or better yet—just disappear.

Meanwhile—

Chen Yang accompanied his mother-in-law Han Qin to the entrance of their housing complex. Unable to restrain her praise, Han Qin said, “Chen Yang, you handled this matter very well.”

“Mom, as long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters,” Chen Yang replied with a gentle smile.

“By the way, how did you find out about Qian Yan and Qian Hao reselling the family company’s pharmaceuticals?” Han Qin looked at him in puzzlement.

Chen Yang immediately grinned. “I have friends in Qian’s company, too.”

In fact, all this information had been dug up by Shen Donghua last night and sent to him via text message. But that was not something he was going to share with his mother-in-law.

“You have friends in Qian’s company?” Han Qin looked at him, her eyes sparkling with amusement.

Chen Yang met her gaze confidently. “Of course, Mom. Who says a delivery man can’t have friends?”

“Um…” Han Qin was momentarily at a loss for words.

After a pause, she nodded. “Alright, in any case, I thank you for your help this time.”

“No need for thanks, Mom. We’re family,” Chen Yang responded generously.

“Yes… If you’d been this responsible and dependable before, I would have liked you a lot more,” Han Qin said.

Chen Yang looked exasperated. “Mom, haven’t I always been like this? You just never noticed the good in me.”

Without giving Han Qin a chance to reply, he glanced up as a taxi pulled to a stop in front of them.

He helped Han Qin into the cab and waved her off. “Mom, I need to head to work now. You go on home.”

“Alright.” Han Qin nodded and said no more, letting the taxi take her away.

As soon as Han Qin left, Chen Yang let out a long sigh.

After their brief conversation, he was more convinced than ever that he couldn’t breathe a word about the two billion. If his mother-in-law ever found out, with her personality and cunning, he’d never hear the end of it.

Chen Yang then hailed a taxi to Huading Company.

After all, before she died, his mother made him promise to run Huading Group well. Although Chen Yang wasn’t entirely sure why his mother wanted this, he knew she did it for his sake. So, he resolved to manage Huading Group to the best of his ability.

On his way there, to his surprise, he received a call from an unknown number.

He answered, and to his astonishment, it was Huang Youlong, speaking with uncharacteristic politeness. “Mr. Chen, it’s me. Do you recognize my voice?”

“You… Huang Youlong?” Huang’s deep voice was unmistakable.

Huang Youlong laughed. “Yes, Mr. Chen, it’s me.”

Chen Yang’s face showed his confusion. “Why are you calling me?”

This was unexpected—he never thought there’d come a day when Huang Youlong would call him proactively.

Huang spoke respectfully, “It’s like this: President Qin has been having some trouble lately. She’s been harassed by a wealthy young man. I know her character—no matter what happens, unless it’s unbearable, she never tells anyone. She prefers to shoulder things alone.

“I’ve noticed that this young man’s harassment has affected her work. Out of sympathy for President Qin, I wanted to let you know in secret.”

“Is that so?” A trace of coldness crossed Chen Yang’s face.

He had no idea that Mu Xue had been harassed by some rich heir. But Huang Youlong had worked with her for years and knew her well.

No matter what difficulties she encountered, Mu Xue always bore them in silence unless things got truly out of hand. Chen Yang understood this about her, too.

After hearing Huang’s words, Chen Yang praised him with a chuckle, “Not bad. You’ve learned your lesson—you know what happens to those who cross me, right?”

Huang Youlong replied humbly, “Honestly, Mr. Chen, I should thank you for letting me off last time. I thought for sure I’d get beaten up that night.”

“Is that so?” Chen Yang smiled faintly.

He didn’t want to waste any more words. “Alright, I’m aware of the situation. Just focus on your work at the company and keep quiet about this matter with President Qin.”

“I won’t, I wouldn’t dare!” Huang Youlong assured him quickly.

“Good. I’m hanging up now,” Chen Yang said coolly and ended the call.

Right after, he dialed Mu Xue’s number.

She picked up quickly, her voice as graceful as ever.

“Mu Xue,” Chen Yang said with a smile, “I heard you’ve been harassed by some rich kid lately, is that true?”

On the other end, Mu Xue sounded surprised. “How did you know?”

“Oh, I just know. I am your husband, after all,” Chen Yang replied.

Mu Xue thought for a moment and frowned. “He’s the chairman of Lijing Hotel, the eldest son of the Yang family. He’s pursuing me, but I haven’t betrayed our marriage.”

Chen Yang grinned, a glint in his eyes. “I never said you were unfaithful.”

“Alright, I’ll handle this myself. Don’t overthink it,” Mu Xue said.

“I’m not worried at all. I know exactly what kind of person my wife is,” Chen Yang replied, relaxed.

Mu Xue sounded busy. “Alright, I have things to do. Talk later.”

“Okay,” Chen Yang laughed softly.

Just then, the taxi stopped in front of Huading Company.

He stepped out, considered for a moment, and immediately called Wu Guangde.

Wu answered almost instantly.

Chen Yang smiled and said, “Before seven tonight, bring me the chairman of Lijing Hotel—the young master of the Yang family. I want him found and call me when you have him. He’s been harassing my wife, and tonight, I need to give him a lesson.”
