The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert

After reading the detailed information about the Netherworld Snake, Ling Chen finally realized why someone as formidable as Ren Donglin was hesitant to take revenge. The Netherworld Snake is indeed very powerful, and their overall strength might be even greater than the Dragon Tiger Hall.

If the Dragon Tiger Hall wants to go to war with the Netherworld Snake, they must make adequate preparations. Otherwise, even with so many experts, they might not succeed.

When Ling Chen thought of the Netherworld Snake, Jiang Yue’e immediately came to mind. Over the years, Jiang Yue’e had been controlled by the Netherworld Snake. Moreover, the Jiang Family had been massacred, leaving no survivors. For the Netherworld Snake to go to such lengths against a small Jiang Family, there must be a reason. However, when he asked Jiang Yue’e in the past, she refused to say much, as if it was a secret of the Jiang Family.

Forget it! Ling Chen closed the file in his hand. After all, Jiang Yue’e is Nanrong Wanqing’s biological mother, so he didn’t want to pressure her too much.

By the way... I almost forgot an important matter. A few days ago, Nanrong Hao told me that in a couple of days, it would be Nanrong Yong’s birthday, and this can’t be delayed.

The old man’s birthday is coming up, so it seems fitting to prepare a grand gift.

...

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

Early in the morning, Ling Chen yawned as he exited his room and headed straight to the dining hall of the Dragon Tiger Hall. By this time, everyone was waking up one by one, gathering in the dining hall to eat.

"Ling Cheng, our third brother is being discharged from the hospital today, and we’re planning to bring him home."

Hearing Qiu Yong speak, Ling Chen patted his forehead and said with a bitter smile, "I almost forgot about that. Brother, I’m afraid I don’t have time to join you today; Wanqing’s grandfather is having a birthday today. I need to go and wish the old man well."

"Since you have important matters, go on." At this point, Wei Jiahao teased from the side, "Ling Cheng, when do you plan to find us a sister-in-law? If you ask me, on such an auspicious day, why not go to the Nanrong Family to propose?"

Xu Ming nodded with a smile and said, "Wei’s suggestion is good. Ling Cheng, you’re not young anymore. It’s time to settle down."

"Stop, stop!" Ling Chen coughed lightly and said, "Nothing is set in stone yet, so don’t stir things up." With that, he picked up two flatbreads and made a quick escape from the dining hall.

Exiting the Dragon Tiger Hall, Ling Chen drove alone, nibbling on the flatbreads as he headed toward the city center of East Sea City. Arriving at a large shopping mall, Ling Chen parked his car and started to wander around the mall by himself.

For the old man’s birthday, it seemed appropriate to buy something meaningful as a gift. Although the jewelry stores had items like jade Guanyin and pure gold Buddha statues, Ling Chen had little interest in such tacky items. After all, Nanrong Yong was the former chairman of the Hongyu Group, having experienced so much in his lifetime. Such mundane items wouldn’t impress him.

"Ling Chen?"

At this moment, a familiar voice came from not far away. Ling Chen looked in the direction of the voice and saw Leng Feifei carrying large bags, running over in high heels.

"Slow down, don’t fall," Ling Chen quickly went to meet her, helping to take the bags from her hands.

"What a coincidence to run into you here," Leng Feifei said, beaming with joy.

"Aren’t you in Beijing? What brings you back to East Sea City?"

"Today is Old Sir Nanrong’s birthday. I’m not only Wanqing’s business partner but also her friend, so of course, I have to join the fun." At this, Leng Feifei looked at Ling Chen and suddenly realized, "I see, you’re also here to pick out a gift?"

Ling Chen nodded and said, "The old gentleman has always been kind to me, so I naturally want to show my appreciation."

Hearing this, Leng Feifei teased, "Isn’t it because of Wanqing?"

"It has nothing to do with her." With that, Ling Chen changed the topic, "What did you buy for the old man as a gift?"

"I bought some healthcare products. Mr. Nanrong is getting older, and he doesn’t lack material things. What’s most important to him is his health."

"You’re right; why don’t you accompany me around? Then we can go to the Nanrong Family together."

"Sure!" Leng Feifei laughed and agreed, "I’ve finished all my shopping anyway."

After wandering around the mall for over an hour and with Leng Feifei’s recommendations, Ling Chen picked out a few supplements. To be honest, despite the mall’s abundant variety, he didn’t really know what to buy. He certainly couldn’t pick duplicate items from Leng Feifei’s shopping.

Shopping completed, it was already 10:30 in the morning, and it was about time to head to the Nanrong Family.

On the way to the Nanrong Family, Leng Feifei, sitting in the passenger seat, looked out the car window at the bustling crowd on the roadside and asked, "How is your relationship with Wanqing now?"

"What?" Ling Chen, focused on driving, was slightly stunned, not immediately understanding.

"I’m asking about your relationship with Wanqing," Leng Feifei repeated, "Weren’t you two getting along just fine? Why did she suddenly go abroad for development recently? Does she intend on a long-distance relationship?"

Ling Chen touched his nose and replied casually, "She’s the chairwoman of Hongyu Group, so she has to consider its development. Besides, you know she’s always been a career woman who can never stay idle."

"If that’s the case, then why didn’t you pick her up at the airport? Your girlfriend hardly comes back once, and as her boyfriend, wouldn’t you want to see her at the first opportunity?"

At these words, Ling Chen coughed lightly, forced a smile, and said, "Why are you suddenly interested in this?"

"You two are both my friends, of course, I want to express my concern for you..."

Before Leng Feifei could finish her sentence, Ling Chen suddenly stopped the car by the side of the road, saying, "I’m going to buy two cups of milk tea." With that, he directly opened the car door and walked out.

Watching Ling Chen enter the milk tea shop, Leng Feifei shook her head and smiled. Being wise, she surely knew that Ling Chen was avoiding the topic. However, this was good news for her; if there was indeed trouble between Ling Chen and Nanrong Wanqing, perhaps she might have the chance to replace Nanrong Wanqing and become the person by Ling Chen’s side.

After a while, Ling Chen returned to the car with two cups of milk tea. This time, Leng Feifei sensibly refrained from asking further. They merely chatted about some work-related matters, considering Ling Chen had also invested in Changlong Technology’s new project.

Not long after, the two drove to the Nanrong Family. Upon getting out of the car, they found the road outside the Nanrong Family lined with cars, and all of them were luxury vehicles. With Nanrong Yong’s birthday, given his status, those coming to give birthday greetings were undoubtedly prominent figures.

At the entrance of the Nanrong Family home, Nanrong Hao, dressed in a sharp suit, was busy greeting guests.
