The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 160: Chapter 160

"Favoritism? Hmph."

"Jingran, Nan, for now, just listen to me as your elder sister. Compared to this matter, I want to tell you about another matter, which is of utmost concern to Pingrui."

The real issue had arrived.

"Zhang Xiayang killed Liu Laogou and then he fled. Now the Liu Family is searching high and low across the world to take revenge on Zhang Xiayang. This is all just a smokescreen. If they can’t find Zhang Xiayang, the Liu Family will naturally demand justice from the Chen family. Even if they do find Zhang Xiayang, how could they possibly let go of the Chen family, this big piece of meat."

Seeing the expressions of both people change at the same time, Zheng Xinru’s tone offered no relief, still carrying that serious tone, "Once the Chen family falls from grace, whoever dies first will have the easiest time. Those who are alive can only carry this burden and keep going. We’re just women, frankly speaking, we also rely on men. With Pingrui gone, we’re all just widows. But in front of ’widow’ there’s still a ’Chen,’ Chen widow, heh, really not so great."

Zheng Xinru’s laughing and shaking her head made Lv Nan feel somewhat creeped out. She never doubted this woman’s intelligence and tactics. Without some skill, how could she have maintained her standing in Tianhe City for over twenty years? To speak of it, this woman is also legendary. The first time she fell in love, for Chen Pingrui, she abandoned her family and business, willingly left the embrace of a prominent family in Shanghai, and followed a man from Beiping back to the north. The once princess willingly became a full-time housewife at home, and after twenty years of not having a son, willingly divorced Chen Pingrui. A full-time housewife starting from scratch at the age of forty, she managed to carve out a sizable industry in Tianhe City on her own. It cannot be said that Chen Pingrui did not help at all, but overall, it was Zheng Xinru that made it happen with her own hands.

Lv Nan regained her senses, glanced at Zheng Xinru who was sipping tea with her head down, then at Lin Jingran who was still in a daze, inwardly cursed ’blockhead,’ then put on a smile, "Elder sister, what do you think we should do then?"

"Elder sister, how about we make peace with the Liu Family? If this continues, we will ultimately be the ones at a disadvantage, and if things go wrong, the Chen family might truly be completely defeated."

"Sister, saying that is as good as saying nothing. How could the Liu Family be so easily negotiated with? It’s clear they want to fight us to the death. Even when Pingrui was around, he couldn’t handle the Liu Family. Now that he’s gone and Zhang Xiayang has run away too, what do we have to fight them with? In my view, we should first go home and hide. The Chen family is so big, it can’t collapse."

"We can’t just walk away like this."

"There’s no other choice..."

As if not hearing their conversation, Zheng Xinru continued sipping her tea.

The voices around her felt like a barrage of dense mosquitoes, only stirring restlessness in her heart. Lin Jingran was alright, though indeed lacking a bit of cunning intellect, at least she wasn’t too selfish. She was also someone Zheng Xinru rather approved of, but only relatively so; such a woman, solely focused on peaceful days, really wasn’t to Zheng Xinru’s taste. Lv Nan was the type of woman who schemed solely for her own benefit, not for anything else, called foolish by some yet her understanding of human relations far exceeded her age, called clever by others but regrettably deploying her cunning in trivial matters.

Suppressing the irritation in her heart, Zheng Xinru calmly interrupted their meaningless discussion.

"The specific matter isn’t too complex. Pingrui’s business ultimately needs someone to take over. In this aspect, I can take over a part. Don’t look at me like that; if it were up to you, would you be capable of managing it?"

Lv Nan reluctantly turned her head away.

Zheng Xinru glanced at her and continued, "That’s one aspect. As for the house by Fengyu Lake, don’t come over for now; I will have someone handle it. Also, another part of Pingrui’s business, previously managed by Zhang Xiayang, I will have someone specially manage it in the future."

"Who?"

Although Lin Jingran didn’t speak, her gaze also shifted over, knowing that with no men left in the Chen family and Zhang Xiayang having fled, if Zheng Xinru took over the Chen family’s legitimate business, then this "special person" would likely manage the shadier dealings.

"Mom, who is he?"

From the staircase of the second floor, a young man with a buzz cut, tall but quite slender, and looking a bit pale, came down. Following behind him were Chen Yang and Chen Yue, two great beauties.

Zheng Xinru waved towards Ye Tian while saying to the two sitting opposite, "It’s him, Ye Tian."

Despite being only a reproductive tool for Chen Pingrui, through constant exposure, they could discern a person’s character from Pingrui’s teachings, whether by "observing their eyes" or "scrutinizing their path," it was clear this person was not capable of shouldering the heavy responsibilities of the Chen family. Moreover, he was holding tools like wrenches and pliers, exactly resembling a handyman.

Ye Tian walked up, nodded at Zheng Xinru, "The cameras are all set up, except in your room."

"Hmm. This is Sister Lin and Sister Lv."

"Hello, Sister Lin, hello, Sister Lv."

Lin Jingran and Lv Nan both smiled and nodded, although both were greatly puzzled, they accepted it since Zheng Xinru suggested so.

"Ye Tian, these are their phone numbers and addresses, you are responsible for their safety. Any problems?"

Ye Tian shook his head. He shouldn’t have any problems.

"Hmm, good. The Liu Family won’t easily call it quits. Work hard these coming days; take over the company’s business as soon as possible. Whether to subdue the enemy without fighting or fight a prolonged battle, the means are up to you, I only want the final result. Understand?"

"Understood."

"Your two colleagues, you can arrange them freely, including your wife."

Ye Tian was stunned, seeing no other implications in Zheng Xinru’s smile, he realized she was joking, "Sister Zheng, then I’ll head back."

"Heh, indeed, ’Sister Zheng’ sounds somewhat better than ’Mrs. Chen’."

It was evident, Zheng Xinru was quite satisfied with this man.

"Alright, stop looking at me like that. When Zhang Xiayang left, he gave him his phone and keys, which means he entrusted the Chen family to him. Before he left, he mentioned to me, this person, Pingrui had noticed him before and had intended to groom him, but there wasn’t enough time. This time, it’s also a case of hoping against hope for me. If I had more time, I would definitely find someone at least I’m reassured with, but isn’t there no time left?"
