Shedding Her Multiple Identities, the Fake Daughter Bullies Rascals Novel - Chapter 35

Chapter 35: The Chen Group Was Reserved for Chen Jia

Chen Jia, who was sitting at the side, could not sit still anymore. Hearing Chairman Li praise Pei Mingchen made him very unhappy.

Chen Jia stood up abruptly and everyone at the table looked over.

Old Master Chen saw the expression on his face and glared at him.

Chen Jia could only suppress the anger in his heart and forced a smile on his face.

“I’m going to the bathroom.”

Chen Jia was smoking in the bathroom. There were already two or three cigarette butts on the floor. At this time, Bai Jin also found an excuse to come out.

Seeing the cigarette butts under Chen Jia’s feet, Bai Ji was both angry and heartbroken..

“You, you, if you were a little better, would you let an illegitimate child step on your head?”

Bai Jin reached out and pinched the cigarette between Chen Jia’s fingers. “The person that your father and grandfather value the most is you, but you think twice about your actions. Can you be a little more considerate?”

Chen Jia was silent. He could only hear Bai Jin ask, “What’s wrong with this Chairman Li? How did Pei Mingchen manage to get an appointment with this person? Were you the one who invited Chairman Li?”

Chen Jia suddenly thought of something. “He asked me to invite the chairman of the Shengyuan Group, but I didn’t reply.”

Pausing for a moment, Chen Jia was also a little puzzled. “So how did he manage to invite chairman Li out?”

Bai Jin was surprised. Her eyes widened and she smacked Chen Jia hard.

“You b*stard! So you didn’t do anything about the cooperation project at all?”

Chen Jia nodded. Bai Jin was so angry that she almost lost her breath. She glared at Chen Jia for a while before taking a deep breath.

“Forget it. As long as Pei Mingchen doesn’t say anything, your grandfather and the others won’t know.”

Chen Jia was a little uncertain. “Pei Mingchen has always wanted grandfather’s approval. At this moment, he is feeling very pleased with himself! I don’t believe that he won’t take advantage of such a good opportunity.”

Bai Jin frowned, but she still said, “Not necessarily. That illegitimate child has a gloomy temperament and is strange. Didn’t he not say anything about the past? In my opinion, there is a very high chance that he won’t say anything this time as well.”

After saying that, she waved her hand. “Alright, it’s good that the cooperation can be done. Hurry up and go to the balcony disperse the smell of cigarettes all over your body, then go back.”

Chen Jia nodded. By the time he returned from the balcony to the banquet table, Chairman Li had already left.

Only Old Master Chen and Chen Desheng were left with a sullen face.

Chen Jia clearly felt that the atmosphere was not right. He looked at Bai Jin inquisitively.

Bai Jin was so guilty that she did not dare to raise her head. She stared at the table without blinking.

In her heart, she silently prayed for her son’s good fortune.

“I asked you and Mingchen to settle the collaboration together. Why did Chairman Li ask me why didn’t Young Master Chen settle the mess that he created by himself? Instead, why was it he a project manager who settled it?”

Chen Jia looked at Pei Mingchen with a shocked gaze. “Did you say something?”

“Bang!”

Old Master Chen slammed the table hard, and a loud sound rang out. Chen Jia was so frightened that he immediately restrained his anger.

“He’s a little better than you. He knows how to cover for you. Chairman Li asked me himself. Do you want grandpa to lose all my reputation so that you can be obedient and sensible?”

Chen Jia did not dare to make a sound after being yelled at. He stood where he was and lowered his head.

Bai Jin looked at the serious atmosphere. She wanted to stand up for her son. Therefore, she comforted Old Master Chen and said, “Dad, we’re still outside. We can talk about it when we get home. Let’s go home first.”

Old Master Chen snorted and stood up. The family left Junfeng International.

When they arrived downstairs, Old Master Chen’s gaze stopped on Pei Mingchen.

Old Master Chen said to Chen Desheng, who was beside him, “The few of you get in the car first. I have something to say to Mingchen.”

Chen Desheng did not think much of it. Chen Jia, on the other hand, wished that his grandfather would not speak to Pei Mingchen.

However, Bai Jin could not help but think a little more. Could it be that the old man had placed Pei Mingchen in an important position because of Chairman Li’s words?

Could it be that Old Master Chen wanted to arrange an important position for Pei Mingchen in the company?

What about Chen Jia?

Bai Jin was in a daze as she heard the sound of a walking stick hitting the ground. Only then did she raised her head and met the old man’s dissatisfied gaze.

She immediately got into the car and closed the door.

Old Man Chen looked at the car, then pointed at a spot not far away with his walking stick, indicating for Pei Mingchen to go over there and speak.

When they came to a place where there was no one, Old Master Chen said in a deep voice, “Regarding the cooperation, you have done very well. Chairman Li has also praised you a lot, but…”

The first few words made Pei Mingchen’s originally silent heart tremble slightly. However, the word ‘but’ made his heart sink to the bottom.

So, he still could not do it, right?

No matter what he did, there could not have any meaning to his existence, right?

“By doing this, are you trying to take the opportunity to suppress Chen Jia and make me and the board of directors give up on him because of Chen Jia’s one mistake?”

Pei Mingchen’s heart turned cold, and his face was cold.

“No.”

Old Master Chen was solemn. In the end, he said earnestly, “I’ll tell you one last time. Chen Jia is the Chen family’s eldest son, and the future Chen Group will only belong to him. You shouldn’t be in the limelight more than your elder brother, do you understand?”

Pei Mingchen sneered in his heart. He had never wanted the Chen Group, nor did he want to compete with Chen Jia.

Pei Mingchen just wanted recognition. He was the son of Chen Desheng. Even if he was an illegitimate child that could not be recognized, he was still the grandson of the Chen family.

Pei Mingchen could even accept the difference in treatment, but why must they suppress him again and again?

Pei Mingchen nodded numbly. Old Master Chen got into the car and left.

When they returned to the hotel, Pei Mingchen was shocked that Mu Qiannian immediately went forward and hugged him.

However, Pei Mingchen grabbed her shoulders and pushed her away. He took a small step back.

“There’s the smell of alcohol on me. It will stink you up. I’ll go wash up first.”

Mu Qiannian did not like the strong smell of alcohol.

However, if it was Pei Mingchen, she would not mind.

Seeing that Pei Mingchen was about to walk past her, she quickly reached out and grabbed him.

Mu Qiannian asked in a concerned tone, “Did something unhappy happen? Don’t keep it to yourself. Tell me about it.”

She knew that Pei Mingchen had gone to attend the celebration banquet tonight and should have enjoyed himself to the fullest. What was going on?

Pei Mingchen could not resist her interrogation. He turned around and hugged her tightly. He rested his chin on Mu Qiannian’s shoulder and spoke in a deep voice.

“No matter what I do, I can’t get an affirmation. Isn’t this world a little unfair to me?”

Mu Qiannian’s heart froze. She pursed her lips and pondered for a long time before she slowly said, “God won’t be fair to everyone. He would always give you something but also take something away from you.”

“For example, God gave me to you. Isn’t that enough?”

Pei Mingchen suddenly chuckled. “It’s enough. You’re enough for me.”

Mu Qiannian nodded vigorously and raised her hand to pat his back repeatedly.

“Hey, what are you doing?!”
