"It must have been so shocking for him. I mean, I was super shocked too when I learned about it for the first time," Chen stated.

Scrunching his brows, Yichan inquired, "What is there so shocking about it? When I heard about it, I was pretty cool and took it quite well." When everyone gave him a weird look, he shrugged his shoulder. "What? I suddenly have three brother-in-laws when I was supposed to have none, it was very shocking for me too." ??

"Of course it was really very stressful for you honey, do you want me to give you a head massage?" Ning inquired.

Vigorously shaking his head, he took his pinky close to her mouth. "Just kiss my pinky."

Patting his chest, Chen scrunched his brows, "I am going to throw up, please stop."

"Geez you guys, you both are making me feel so single today. I am having a headache now," Roger frowned.

"I am so sorry, I know I was supposed to come in the afternoon but meetings—" Wang Ziying stopped midway when she saw a particular someone in the room.

Scrunching her brows, she snapped, You—what the hell are you doing here?" historical

"Ziying, who are you talking to?" Ning curiously inquired.

"I am talking to that creepy man standing right beside you," she answered before gritting her teeth in annoyance.

"Who? Chen?"

Widened her eyes in shock, Ziying groaned in frustration. "Ah yes, you are Yang Chen from Jiang corporation." Slapping her forehead, she cursed herself, "How could I forget?"

Raised his brows, Chen grinned from ear to ear. "So we meet again Miss airport. Though I knew we would definitely meet again, I didn't expect to meet you so soon and that too in my sister's presence."

"Sister? Who is your sister?" Ziying frowned.

"Ziying, he is Chen, my twin brother. Hmm I don't think I need to introduce the two of you since you both have already met," Ning stated.

Widening her eyes in shock, Ziying gasped, "What? He is your twin brother? How? I didn't know you had a brother as well."

Patting Chen's shoulder, Roger remarked, "He is a newly discovered brother."

"Ning, how can a person like you have such a disgusting, arrogant and irritating brother? I am sure it's some kind of a mistake, maybe he got exchanged with some other baby in the hospital," Ziying snapped. Ignoring the huge grin on Chen's face, she gave the flowers she had brought for Ning to Yichan. "I bought these for you, I'll come back later when you are free."

"I am not busy, you can stay Ziying," Ning stated.

Glaring at Chen, Ziying fumed, "I can't stand in the same room as this arrogant man."

"I know my charm is very hard to resist, it's okay," Chen proudly exclaimed.

Letting out a mocking scoff, she retorted, "Charming? A dog is more charming than your duck-like face." Without waiting for his reply, she gave Ning a goodbye hug and walked out of the room.

"Dude, what did you do?" Roger curiously inquired.

"I have never seen Ziying so angry," Ning frowned.

Yichan nodded his head in agreement. "She is a really soft spoken and polite one."

"She is your friend?" When Ning nodded her head, Chen asked, "Do you have her number?"

Crossing her arms in the front, Ning raised her brows in suspicion. "And why would I give you her number?"

"Because I wanna apologize to her. Okay fine, something not very pleasant happened at the airport between us a few days ago. I thought she was already over it but it seems like she is not, so I want to tell her how deeply sorry I am," Chen explained.

Roger sighed and helplessly shook his head. "I don't trust this guy."

"Me neither," Yichan added.

"Come on Ning, I swear I won't do anything inappropriate. I am your twin, you have to trust me," Chen requested.

Thinking for a while, Ning remarked, "Fine but remember that Ziying is my friend, you can't cross your line."

"I swear I'll stay far away from the line."

Outskirts of the country.

"Why are you always so impatient dad?" Kareem frowned. "When I told you I am working on it, why did you—"

Cutting him off, Antonio snapped, "You have been saying that for months now, how long do you expect me to wait?"

"I have been working on it for months but now I have to start all over again because you were very impatient and ruined everything. Mo Yichan knows the truth and he also knows that we are responsible for everything that has happened. What makes you think that he will overlook us? You just made my work ten times harder than it already is," he yelled.

"I made it harder? Why don't you scream at your son's who are helping the people who ruined our family? Why don't you deal with them first?" Antonio remarked.

Taking a deep breath to calm his nerves down, Kareem sighed, "We can't change what is already done, we have to be careful in the future. Don't act recklessly until I approve the plan. We were so close to taking them down all together but now we have to begin all over again. I am just sick of dealing with your and Karl's reckless behaviour. Lucas and Roger are much more sensible and reliable than you both."

"Then why don't you bring them on your side?" Pausing for a while, Antonio added, "I would suggest you to do that as soon as possible because if they keep acting so rebelliously, I will have no other choice but—"

Cutting him off, Kareem snapped, "Lucas is still upset over his mother's death and we are still not sure whose side Roger is on, we can't jump into a conclusion without having proper proof."

"Then you better find proof before I make a move, we are running out of time and I am not getting any younger," Antonio instructed.

"Take your medicines and rest well, I'll take my leave now." Without waiting for his reply, Kareem got up and left the room.
