ng Ping, with a handso face that still carried a hint of his previous carefree attitude, lit a familiar cigarette. Rembering that the old man’s health wasn’t good and shouldn’t be affected, he suggested, "Why don’t we sit outside and enjoy so sunshine?"
"Okay!"
So the three moved outside and lit up their cigarettes, beginning to puff away.
"I haven’t congratulated you yet!" ng Ping nodded at Xu Qigang, "Congratulations on marrying her; you must have built up good karma in your past life."
That comnt was a bit impolite, and Su Hai was about to speak when Xu Qigang raised his hand to stop him. He looked at ng Ping and nodded in agreent, "You’re right! It indeed is my good fortune."
ng Ping just shrugged, not saying a word.
The three continued to smoke, moving on to their second cigarettes, and ng Ping continued, "Thanks for the newspaper thing, that was a huge help. I owe you one."
"You owe more than just one favor," Su Hai said irritably, "What are you planning to do with One Weekly? Spending so much money just to target a woman?"
"Of course not, I plan to continue."
"How so?"
"Just Bai Tian’e’s issue alone could fill a month’s worth of serial publications," ng Ping’s remark made both n frown in unison.
Xu Qigang, with practiced ease, flicked the ash from his cigarette, a flash of harshness crossing his handso face. "I advise you to stop."
"That’s impossible! I won’t stop until I destroy those dogs," ng Ping retorted fiercely.
Xu Qigang stayed silent, turning his head to look at a tall, robust young man who had joined the assistant’s room. With his professional eye, he could tell that the young man was from a reconnaissance background. Having soone by his side to protect him at all tis might be safer than he imagined.
"Living Yama..." Su Hai initially wanted to call him King Yan, but then rembered he was the elder and changed to calling his na, "Xu Qigang, are you keeping sothing from everyone?"
"I have a front-page photo."
Xu Qigang’s words surprised them both.
ng Ping, smoking halfway, angrily smashed his cigarette into the ashtray, pointing at Xu Qigang’s nose and yelling, "My brother is your best friend; since you knew all along, why didn’t you say anything?"
Sheng Ning, carrying dishes out from the kitchen and hearing the commotion outside, ran to look, but Su Huai’an held her back.
"It’s okay, let them talk," Su Huai’an said.
"Okay!" Trusting Xu Qigang completely, Sheng Ning believed ng Ping would be the one at a disadvantage and calmly went back to the kitchen with Su Huai’an to carry the dishes.
"By the way! Let’s invite Chen Huaying to have lunch with us!"
An unnatural look flashed across Su Huai’an’s face, "Okay!"
In the yard, Xu Qigang calmly pushed ng Ping’s hand aside and said, "Things aren’t as simple as you think. Also, don’t point your finger at in the future or it won’t look good with one hand."
"Ha ha ha..." Su Hai couldn’t help but burst into laughter at the ntion of one hand not looking good.
"Dammit! He shouldn’t keep silent and do nothing. I can do what he can’t!" Matters involving ng Fan made it hard for ng Ping to stay calm.
"ng Ping, don’t bite at people randomly," Su Hai snapped, getting upset. This was his own nephew-in-law he was protecting. "You think everyone has a President dad and a leader grandfather backing them?"
Xu Qigang took a drag of his cigarette, undergoing a trendous change in deanor. The sharpness in his eyes seed murderous, sending shivers down one’s spine.
"The photos were taken by Qin Yue."
At this, Su Hai imdiately knew there was more to it. Qin Yue’s true identity wasn’t as simple as it seed on the surface; ordinary families couldn’t bring up soone with his rogue-like deanor.
