After Divorce, Bewitching Female CEO Pursues Me - Chapter 29

As he looked over, he saw a young man who seemed to be only around thirty, very unfamiliar, and someone he had never seen before.

He was sure that in the high society of Han City, there was definitely no such young man.

Yet, this young man was respected by both the city head and the calligraphy king, which was remarkable.

The middle-aged man made a mental note of this.

“Director Wang, what brings you here?” As the middle-aged man Wang Dahai was somewhat surprised, the voice of Mayor Zhang sounded in his ear.

“Oh… Mayor!” Wang Dahai snapped back to reality and immediately walked up to Mayor Zhang, handing over a file.

“As per your instructions, I have conducted a thorough investigation of the nine companies recently selected by the city!”

“Eight of them are fine and can be included as key representatives for our city’s external promotion, with strong support and focused cultivation!”

“Only the chairman of Li Group has a slight problem!”

“His private life is quite messy; secretly, he has kept eight mistresses. Three of them have borne him children, all sons!”

“In secret, he has even made a will. According to the law firm, after his passing, he wants his three illegitimate sons to inherit the Li Group’s business!”

“As for his eldest son, Li Yunhao, he has left him nothing…”

“No inheritance for the eldest son?” Mayor Zhang frowned. “Why?”

“According to unofficial sources, Li Yunhao is not his biological son but was born to his wife and another man…”

Mayor Zhang was somewhat astonished, “Is there such a thing? It seems Li Changyuan has done a good job keeping this secret, even I haven’t heard of it.”

“Mayor, the Li Group…”

“Their private life is too chaotic. Supporting them would be detrimental to our city’s reputation if this were exposed. What do you think?” Mayor Zhang asked Wang Dahai.

“Understood! I’ll handle it right away!” Wang Dahai nodded.

Chen Ping and Wen Xue’er, who were nearby, were somewhat surprised. They hadn’t expected the arrogant playboy Li Yunhao to not be his father’s biological son. This news was indeed explosive.

“Alright, go ahead,” Mayor Zhang said, then turned to Chen Ping, “My young friend, time is of the essence, please begin your calligraphy!”

“Yes, yes, my young friend, hurry, I’ve been waiting eagerly!” Zhao Tianyi personally began grinding ink for Chen Ping. Seeing this, Wang Dahai’s eyes widened.

Wang Dahai knew Zhao Tianyi was the calligraphy king of Han City. He was unquestionably the top calligrapher in Han City.

Yet, he was personally grinding ink for a young man in his thirties, inviting him to write calligraphy.

What was the background of this young man?

And Mayor Zhang also seemed extremely expectant, which made it clear that this young man had an extraordinary identity. Wang Dahai made sure to remember this.

After taking a few more careful looks at Chen Ping, Wang Dahai cautiously exited the office, gently closing the door behind him.

About ten minutes later, the characters “What a Life Seeks” appeared in front of everyone.

As soon as Chen Ping put down the brush, Mayor Zhang and Zhao Tianyi couldn’t wait to observe from different angles.

Quickly, they exchanged positions and continued to observe.

Once, twice, three times, four times…

After they had examined it from all angles, their faces showed astonishment, and their eyes were full of shock.

They extended their thumbs, “Amazing! Truly amazing! My young friend’s calligraphy, I dare say, is unparalleled in the country today! If I were ten years younger, I would definitely ask to be your apprentice. Unfortunately, age has caught up with me, and my energy isn’t what it used to be. Even if I wanted to learn, I wouldn’t have the energy, alas…”

Zhao Tianyi sighed deeply, full of regret and helplessness.

“Beep beep!”

At that moment, Chen Ping’s phone rang. He took a look and was somewhat surprised.

The call was from Su Wanyun’s grandfather, Su Jianguo.

Since the divorce, he hadn’t returned to the Su family, let alone seen Su Jianguo. For him to call at this time, could it be about his and Su Wanyun’s divorce?

“Grandfather, what can I do for you?” Chen Ping asked with a smile after answering the call.

“Xiao Chen, I know about your and Wanyun’s situation. You’ve been wronged!”

As soon as Su Jianguo started speaking, he apologized, which warmed Chen Ping’s heart.

Su Jianguo was the only one in the Su family who cared about him.

“Grandpa, I—”

“You don’t need to say anything. I understand. This matter, if anyone is to blame, it’s because Wanyun wasn’t blessed enough. Sigh…” Su Jianguo sighed deeply and then abruptly changed his tone, “No matter what, in my heart, you will always be my good grandson-in-law!”

“Thank you, Grandpa!” Chen Ping was once again moved.

“Let’s skip the pleasantries. Your father-in-law knows I like fishing, so thanks to Li Changyuan, the boss of the Li Group, he specially bought a piece of land to build a farm for me. Today is the groundbreaking ceremony. If you’re free, come join us.”

“But I’ve already divorced Wanyun. Isn’t it inappropriate for me to attend the family gathering…”

“I’m still alive. As long as I’m alive, I make the decisions in this family. If I say you can attend, you can attend. Come, just to give your grandpa some face, or just come to see your grandpa. If you don’t come this time, who knows if my old bones will have another chance to see you in the future…”

“Grandpa…”

Hearing this, Chen Ping felt a lump in his throat.

He had been a live-in son-in-law for four years, and the Su family never treated him as one of their own. Especially his mother-in-law, who always treated him like a dog—calling him when needed and driving him away when not. If it weren’t for a debt of gratitude to Su Wanyun, he would have left long ago and wouldn’t have endured until now.

Only Grandpa had always cared for him, making him feel that there was still some warmth in the Su family.

Now, hearing Grandpa’s heartfelt words, Chen Ping felt a surge of mixed emotions.

“Xiao Chen, what do you say? Will you come?”

Su Jianguo’s voice came through again.

“Alright, I’ll come! Send me the location! I’ll head over right away!” Chen Ping replied.

“That’s more like it! Hold on, I’ll send you the location right away!”

Soon after, Chen Ping received a location pin on WeChat and replied that he had received it.

“It seems you have something to attend to, my young friend!” Mayor Zhang looked at his secretary, “Xiao Wang, bring a box of my Da Hong Pao tea and give it to Mr. Chen.”

“I don’t drink tea, really, it’s fine!” Chen Ping said.

“That won’t do. You must accept it!” Mayor Zhang personally handed the box of Da Hong Pao to Chen Ping, and then glanced at Wen Xue’er, “Niece Wen, Mr. Chen here is an extraordinary person. You must seize the opportunity!”

“Ah?” Wen Xue’er’s face turned bright red upon hearing this.

“Haha, did you see that? Her face is all red!” Mayor Zhang laughed.

“Mayor Zhang, you—” Wen Xue’er lowered her head, blushing even more.

“Alright, it’s getting late. If you have something to do, go ahead. I need to be on my way!” Chen Ping didn’t take Mayor Zhang’s teasing to heart and said.

“Oh, right.” Wen Xue’er quickly handed an eagle carving to Mayor Zhang, “Mayor, this is a small token of appreciation from my father. You must accept it!”

“Niece Wen, you—”

“You must accept it, because this eagle carving was also made by Mr. Chen. Master Gu Yi saw it and offered 100 million to buy it, but Mr. Chen didn’t sell it.”

“…”
