203: Looking Back

Chu Yifeng was sitting on a sofa and reading the newspaper. Wang Cheng walked over and took the newspaper from his hand, handing him the packed rice. The food and rice was packed in plastic boxes, which were better than the disposable fast food boxes on the market. They were hygienic and clean, and some large restaurants were now using these.

Wang Cheng glanced briefly at the newspaper. The headline was still about the Dongwang Group. After the Dongwang Group was investigated, Sun Jian was also taken away, but it was said that he had returned last night, as if he had found a scapegoat.

Chu Yifeng brought the food out and waved his hand. It was now him taking the newspaper from Wang Cheng. He said, "Let's eat first, and then talk about things after we finish."

"These fried pork ribs are good. I just tried it in the restaurant; it's crispy and fragrant. You should eat it while it’s hot, but you might feel a bit greasy if you eat too much at once."

There were also the lotus root stewed ribs and lily stewed ribs. Although they were all ribs, these ones were soups, which was more tonic. The meat was fried until golden, and was topped with a layer of sauce and some chopped onions. Looking at the color raised both their appetites. They didn’t eat outside often, so when Wang Cheng bought this food, he didn’t have many scruples, only choosing what to eat according to his taste. So, the portions of food were large, Wang Cheng even specifically asked the waiter in the restaurant to serve a little bit more..

After eating, Wang Cheng packed the rest up the box and took it for when they were ready to go.

Chu Yifeng patted his ass and smiled, "More and more diligent and frugal."

Wang Cheng glanced back at him and said, "Diligent and frugal for my family. This is what I want to bring back to the Guan’s Village."

The box was transparent, and it was not so practical. The apartment did not need this kind of box. However, it could be used for snacks, which just so happened to be eaten at home.

"The kettle is empty, I'll fill it up."

Wang Cheng walked out of the office with the kettle. It was not the time to go back to work, but most of the employees had already finished their meals and were coming back. They were walking in two or threes. As Wang Cheng was filling the water, there was a burst of noise from the office lobby. When Wang Cheng took the kettle back to the office, Chu Yifeng apparently also heard the sound.

"What is happening outside?"

"I don't know. I'll go check it out and come back to tell you later." Wang Cheng put down the kettle and went out, ready to go and watch. It wasn’t until he walked over that he found it was Cheng Cheng and a woman. The woman was Tao Jing, Cheng Cheng's former girlfriend.

Cheng Cheng vigorously pushed Tao Jing's hand away. He had been dead to Tao Jing as early as that night, but now she wanted to turn back. He just felt that it was ridiculous. What was he, a toy? Discard it when you don't want it, and find it when you want it?

Even if he loved her before, he was also a man with dignity!

"You don't have to say anything more than necessary. I know why you came back to me; it’s because your gold master Sun Jian was investigated, and Dongwang Company is likely to go bankrupt. You don't think you will get any benefits from him, so you want to pick up me, your ex-boyfriend again? Are you treating me as a fool? Now you’re making me feel dirty, you are no longer worthy of me."

Cheng Cheng looked helpless. He still didn't know how Tao Jing had become such a person. He had been with her for three years, and had a good impression of her along with beautiful memories. What did people say? That people change because they are confused by love? Or had Tao Jing just concealed it too well before?

Tao Jing was very embarrassed by his words, her face pale and wronged. Cheng Cheng was an easy-hearted person, and she dared to have the confidence to come to him just because of this. He had never said a heavy word to her. When they broke up, he even stood downstairs, not eating or drinking for two days and two nights and finally falling ill. Although she didn't go to see him, she knew that Cheng Cheng still loved her with all his heart, and had tolerated her willfulness for a long time. Now he dared to say that she was dirty?

Tao Jing’s eyes were red with anger, and she raised her hand to slap him.

Cheng Cheng grabbed her wrist, losing his patience. "Miss Tao, do you think what I said is wrong? I’ll tell you again, I am not the Cheng Cheng who you can come and go to. You had lost this right ever since you climbed onto Sun Jian's bed."

"How can you say that to me? How about those three years we have been together, have you forgotten those good times?" Tao Jing cried.

"It is not me who has forgotten, but you."

Cheng Cheng said ruthlessly: "Also, don't mention the time we were together. Every time I think of those memories, I think of how disgusting you are now."

The matter of Cheng Cheng and Tao Jing was not a big secret in the company; it had been gossip for a while. Now seeing Tao Jing like this, everyone had no sympathy, instead feeling that this was self-inflicted.

"What is going on?" Wang Cheng walked out.

Cheng Cheng didn't know that he had come to the company, and gave a surprised look. He could figure this matter out thanks to Cheng Ge.

Wang Cheng looked at his face. "Does it hurt?"

Cheng Cheng shook his head, "I’m almost healed."

When Wang Cheng looked at Tao Jing next to him, her expression became a little surprised. She had recognized Wang Cheng as the one who had broken into the box that night and rescued Cheng Cheng.

"Aren't you the woman who was bullying Cheng Cheng with Sun Jian that night? Why haven’t you come here to plead along with Sun Shao? Even if you’re dying, Cheng Cheng won't help you."

Hearing him mention Sun Jian, Tao Jing's eyes widened and suddenly flashed. "You, is it you?"

Wang Cheng smiled, "Who am I? I don't understand what you're talking about!"

"Aren’t you the person who caused the investigation of Dongwang Group?" Tao Jing stared at him.

"What if it’s me, what if it’s not me?"

Wang Cheng felt that this woman was really stupid. She was already here, but she was still thinking about that kind of thing. However, she didn't want to be fooled.

Tao Jing felt that she had discovered the truth. Without looking back at Cheng Cheng, she immediately turned and left. She had to tell Sun Jian about this. Maybe there was still a chance for recovery. Dongwang Group was only investigated for tax evasion. As long as the tax was replenished and a scapegoat was found, Sun Jian would not go to jail. The financial resources of Dongwang Group would definitely not be a problem. Cheng Cheng had already been disappointed with her for a long time, and didn't feel much after seeing her like this.

"Rest assured, they will pay for what they did sooner or later." Wang Cheng patted his shoulder.

Cheng Cheng nodded. He didn't believe it before, but now he believed it. However, he didn't expect that the things of the Dongwang Group had something to do with Wang Cheng.

When Wang Cheng returned to the office, he told Chu Yifeng what had happened. "The woman thinks that when she tells Sun Jian the truth she discovered, Sun Jian will be grateful to her. However, she doesn’t know: if Sun Jian learns that these things were all caused by her, with his villainous heart, he will certainly not let her go."

Chu Yifeng just smiled when he heard these words. He had discovered that Wang Cheng was not the kind of man who treated women with only pity and love.

Tao Jing had already gone to the lobby of the Dongwang Group. She had wanted to call Sun Jian, but Sun Jian did not answer. This was not the first time the staff at the front desk saw her. However, because she did not know if Sun Jian was impatient with Tao Jing, or not, she sent a request. The answer was that Sun Jian did not want to see her. Tao Jing was not discouraged.

"When you say that I’m here, you tell your boss that I know who is targeting Dongwang Group."

The front desk employee was dubious. During this time, the company was upset by the investigation of Dongwang Group. Many people said that Dongwang Group had offended a big figure and might face bankruptcy. She heard that the president did not seem to know who he had offended. She decided to ask again, in case this matter was true - anyway, it was just a phone call.

"Miss Tao, the president agrees to see you." When she arrived at Sun Jian's office, Tao Jing was taken aback by the situation inside. Sun Jian threw a lot of office stuff today, and his face was very ugly, even worse after seeing her. His face grew more impatient.

"Secretary Yu said that you know who is targeting Dongwang Group? You better not lie to me!" When Tao Jing saw his expression, she suddenly regretted that she had come to him at this time. His irritable voice scared her even more, to the point that she jumped. However, she had already come, so she had to bite the bullet and said, "It was the one we met in the New Territories that night, the one who was very good. I just went to find a friend, and the other person suddenly mentioned this. Although he did not admit it, listening to him, he seemed to have something to do with it."

Sun Jian sneered, staring at her like he could see right through her. "The friend you mentioned must refer to your ex-boyfriend, right? You found that I was going to fall, so you want to return to your ex-boyfriend's side, right?"

Tao Jing was shocked, immediately shaking her head. Even if it was true, she could not admit it.

Sun Jian suddenly picked up the mouse from the table and threw it at her. The mouse hit Tao Jing's head and scared her to the point of screaming. If it weren’t for his troubles, he would like to strangle the woman now. Did she think he didn’t know what she was thinking? A b*tch was a b*tch!

He never lacked women around him, so he never put a woman in his eyes, even if it was a rich second generation like Song Yuanyuan. However, now, the Dongwang Group was in a crisis because of some woman he no longer looked at. This woman was extremely stupid to still come and ask him for credit.

The amount of tax evasion by Dongwang Group had been calculated this afternoon, and also had been published on the TV and newspapers. The amount was very large, and the tax that had to be paid would shake the foundation of Dongwang Group. If the New Territories was not seized, maybe there would be a way.
