166: The Popular Big Brother

After deciding to return to the Zheng family to recognize his ancestors, Wang Cheng called several people in succession. The first was naturally his parents. Although the couple also supported him in returning to the Zheng family, he should always report his decision to them. Neither of them said anything about it, but they were glad that he figured it out.

The second was Mother Zheng. However, instead of calling, he sent a message. He decided to send this message after hesitating for a long time. He originally planned to call Zheng Jingen, but when he thought of Mother Zheng’s excitement when she asked him for his mobile phone number that day, and the messages sent to him last night and in the morning, he changed his mind.

Mother Zheng now brought her mobile phone with her wherever she went. She didn’t have this habit before. The mobile phone had radiation and she didn’t need to make phone calls, so she usually kept it in the room. However, after exchanging phone numbers with Wang Cheng, she changed.

As soon as the message notification came, Mother Zheng immediately disregarded Tong Yunfang, who was talking to her, and took out her mobile phone in front of her. When she saw the person who sent her the message, her eyes curved.

"Second sister-in-law, what's the matter?" Tong Yunfang looked at her in surprise. It was the first time she saw her second sister-in-law with such a bright and happy expression. While she and Zheng Shengyi were still dating, her second sister-in-law’s younger son had disappeared. After marrying into the Zheng family, she saw that her second sister-in-law had lost her previous cheerfulness.

"He sent me a message." Mother Zheng looked excited.

"Who is ‘he’?"

Tong Yunfang didn’t understand what she was talking about.

Mother Zheng did not answer. She opened the message, and the first word that she saw made her feel as if she was struck by lightning.

When Tong Yunfang didn't get a response from her, she subconsciously glanced at the screen of her mobile phone. The first word of the message was 'Mom'. At first, she thought it was Jingen or Jingxue, but when she saw the name of the contact, she was stunned, "This ..."

Wang Cheng?

Who was this person, and why did they call her second sister-in-law ‘mom’?

Mother Zheng had already recovered from the shock and immediately covered her mouth. The hot tears that had been brewing in her eyes suddenly flowed out. She grabbed Tong Yunfang's hand and her cheeks flushed with excitement: "Yunfang, he called me ‘mom’. He finally called me his mother, I thought I would have to wait a long time."

Tong Yunfang suddenly had a shocking speculation, "Second sister-in-law, this man ... could he be your younger son who had been missing for 25 years? You, have you found him?"

Mother Zheng did not answer. Her eyes were still staring at the information on the screen, and the tears of joy in her eyes wouldn’t stop.

Tong Yunfang already knew the answer. In addition to being shocked, she was delighted. If this person was really her second sister-in-law’s 25-year-old son, she was really happy for her.

In the evening, Mother Zheng immediately shared the information sent by Wang Cheng with her husband, son, and daughter. She considered whether Wang Cheng's willingness to call her his mother meant that he agreed to return to the Zheng family to acknowledge his ancestors, but Father Zheng told her not to get too excited. That their younger son was willing to call her ‘mom’ was a good thing, but they couldn't force him too tightly. After Mother Zheng felt that it made sense, she didn’t mention it again.

Tong Yunfang told Zheng Shengyi about this matter. Although Zheng Shengyi was surprised, he still told his wife not to talk about it. Since their second brother and second sister-in-law had not announced it yet, they obviously had their own plans. Everyone knew about the Zheng family. Since they had decided to stand by their second brother and second sister-in-law, some things could not be disclosed casually.

Wang Cheng stood under Tiangding Building of the Imperial Capital commercial district. This high-rise building was one of the landmarks of the Imperial Capital. It had a total of 66 floors, and though it was not the tallest building in the Imperial City, it was located in the bustling commercial center; an inch of earth was an inch of gold.

[T/N: That last phrase means that the land is very expensive or is worth a lot.]

Why did he appear here? It started from yesterday. After he finished sending the text message, Father Zheng and Mother Zheng were very excited. Zheng Jingen later called and told him that he and his parents would arrange a good day to take him back to the Zheng family as soon as possible. In fact, Wang Cheng didn’t care if he would return to the Zheng family sooner or later, but he acquiesced in their behavior.

As soon as this was decided, Wang Ning'an called him over there. Before, he only knew that Wang Cheng came to the Imperial Capital to do business. However, he didn’t know what he was doing, so he called home, and they answered his question a little: that this was related to the Zheng family. Since it was, he couldn’t sit idly by. Nevertheless, Mama Wang didn’t that there was Chu Yifeng beside Wang Cheng. Wang Ning’an was worried that he would suffer.

Wang Cheng also had something to tell him, but his big brother had work, so he came over by himself. Chu Yifeng was called back by his family. He didn’t have a thought about what was going on, and he didn’t plan to let him come with him. Though he had seen the prosperity of the Imperial Capital, he was still a little shocked by the architecture in front of him. Shanhai City could never compare with the Imperial Capital. It was possible to rent out several floors in succession as office space. The strength of Shenghui Group could not be underestimated. Wang Ning'an was more able to stretch his fists when working here.

Because Wang Ning'an had already informed the front desk, when Wang Cheng reported his name, the staff at the front desk was not surprised. After connecting to the inner line, it was not long before a woman in high heels came to pick him up. She said that she was his elder brother's secretary, surnamed Jiang.

Secretary Jiang took him to Wang Ning’an's office before leaving.

Wang Cheng looked at the luxury of the office a little surprisedly. When he talked to him on the phone, his elder brother rarely talked about work matters, so he didn't know what position his elder brother had at Shenghui Pharmaceutical. Now he saw this office; the position was definitely not low.

"Big brother, why does it feel like I blinked and you got promoted again? It's like sitting on a rocket. Secretary Jiang just called you Vice President Wang. So you’re a vice president?" It had only been a few months, Wang Cheng admired his elder brother more and more now, he thought that he himself couldn’t do something like this.

"It doesn’t matter what I’m called. Didn’t you have something to say, coming here today? Wait for a bit, I’m off work in 20 minutes.” Wang Ning'an never involved personal matters during working hours.

Wang Cheng also knew this, so he deliberately picked lunch break to come. Before he came here, he also cooked a hearty lunch, his elder brother’s favorite food. His big brother did not know how to cook, and he did not ask for a part-time cook. He must have eaten takeout for months.

When he got off work, Wang Cheng was not idle either. Wang Ning’an's office also had bookshelves. Many books were placed on the bookshelves. Like in Chu Yifeng’s library, they were all professional books. There were also a lot of books in English. Surprisingly, there were still some magazines and newspapers.

Wang Cheng took a magazine and opened it. It turned out to be related to medicine. If he were to read these books every day, he would become crazy within three days.

Twenty minutes was not long, but Wang Cheng had seen how busy Wang Ning’an was during this time. Secretary Jiang knocked on the door several times. He found that the female secretary seemed to have intentions towards his elder brother.

She wore a professional skirt suit. She was wrapped in a form-fitting blazer, and she wore a mid-thigh length skirt, revealing a pair of long and fair-skinned legs. She was not short in height, and paired with 7 or 8 cm high heels, looked pretty tall. She was a stunner.

Based on Wang Cheng's experience, his elder brother would never fancy such a woman. Because he was too tempting and attracted butterflies, marrying her home may not be a good idea.

Sure enough, Wang Ning'an was indifferent to her seduction.

Secretary Jiang didn't seem to be surprised. Seeing that the vice president had no response, she went out, fascinated. It was at least some sight to be able to get to this step. This stubbornness would only disgust the boss, and when he was transferred, it would be worth it for her. Don't look at Wang Ning’an now as just a vice president, he was being directly ordered by the chairman. The future was endless, and many women in the company wanted to be his secretary.

After getting off work, Secretary Jiang came to knock on the door again.

Wang Ning'an was ready to leave to work. Secretary Jiang glanced at Wang Cheng, who had placed food on the coffee table near the sofa. She was a little curious, but didn’t dare ask.

After the vice president was transferred to the head office, many women wanted to show their courtesy, but none of them succeeded. They did not see the vice president associate with any women. Today, there was a man who delivered a meal to the vice president, and was allowed to. It was the first time another party stayed in his office during working hours.

Secretary Jiang did not know that Wang Cheng was the vice president's younger brother, and Wang Ning'an did not say it. During lunch with colleagues, someone mentioned Wang Cheng. Handsome guys were always more noticeable. Secretary Jiang mentioned the situation and everyone speculated of their relationship.

In the office, Wang Ning'an hadn't tasted Wang Cheng's craftsmanship for a long time. When Wang Cheng made his favorite food again, his appetite suddenly opened up.

"What's the matter with you and the Zheng family?"

Wang Cheng thought for a second, hesitated, then asked, "Brother, have you known that I am not the biological son of our parents?" Wang Ning’an paused and looked up at him in surprise: "Did our parents tell you? Say, are your biological parents the Zheng family? "

"You did know it." Wang Cheng wasn't disappointed either. His elder brother was so smart and was two years older than himself. It was normal for him to notice something. It was more normal for him to notice without telling. "You guessed it, the Zheng family finally found me. I am their son who has been missing for 25 years. Some time ago, this matter caused trouble in the Guan’s Village. "

"What did the parents say?"

"They support me no matter my decision."

"That's not very good. I have also heard of the Zheng family. With political families like them, if you want to return to the Zheng family, it is best to be mentally prepared."

Although Wang Ning'an was very rational, his attitude was the same as that of Papa and Mama Wang. Regardless of who Wang Cheng's biological parents were, he would always be their family, and this would never change.

"Why do you all say this one by one, as if the Zheng family is a dragon or tiger den?"

Wang Ning'an raised an eyebrow. "You all? Who else is it besides me?"

"Um, it's a friend I know, he's also in the Imperial Capital."

Wang Cheng didn't expect him to be so keen and could only answer vaguely.

Wang Ning'an glanced at him, "Which friend?"

Wang Cheng's brain quickly turned around. "Big brother, you may not know him. He was my roommate in high school. He lives in the Imperial Capital and went there last time when our classmates reunited. That's when I reconnected with him. Since he came to his territory, I have to greet him."

He planned to contact Huang Tong’an. He had already arrived in the Imperial Capital, but he was planning to wait for the Zheng family affairs to come to an end.

The meals brought by Wang Cheng were all eaten by Wang Ning’an. Lunch break was only an hour, and it took only half an hour to finish eating. Wang Cheng did not leave immediately. The brothers only met this once in a long time. After this time, they did not know when they would meet again. So, they sat and chatted for a while.

Wang Cheng was still very interested in his work, and Wang Ning'an did not hide it from him. He told him everything he could say. If someone saw it, they would be surprised, because Wang Ning'an was usually a very serious, often stern, boss. He didn't talk much and never talked about personal matters. Many female employees adored him. He had the ability and looked handsome. If he got along with others well, there would only be more women chasing him.

When he got a call, Wang Ning'an glanced at the phone with a slight change in expression. He asked Wang Cheng to wait for a while, then got up and went into the office lounge. Wang Cheng noticed this change, it was a bit unexpected. However, without waiting for him to think about the reason, the door of the office was pushed open by someone outside, and a woman came in carrying something.

The woman was very fashionable, but it was not the same as Secretary Jiang, a glamor, of a ladylike, noble, woman. It was simply Bai Fumei. Although she walked in without knocking on the door, which was a little uncultured, her appearance conditions could make people ignore this flawed feeling.

"Who are you?"

Before Wang Cheng could ask this to her, she said it first. At this glance, he knew that this was not the first time she had come to this office. He didn't answer. The thing that was in her hand seemed to be an insulation box? His heart became clear.

The woman followed his gaze to see her own insulated box, and was taken aback for a moment. She finally noticed the food box placed on the coffee table. There was still an aroma of food in the office that had not yet disbursed; her expression suddenly changed.
