Scumbag Forcing Me to Divorce? Watch Me Turn Around and Marry a Powerful Capital Tycoon! - Chapter 26

To Yun Haotian, though Cheng Zijun’s ex-wife shared the same name as Daddy Jiang, they were completely different people with completely different fates.

Daddy Jiang was elegant and refined, stunningly beautiful, and possessed extraordinary medical skills—a rare and remarkable woman!

But Cheng Zijun’s ex-wife Jiang Ning?
She was a drama queen obsessed over a man, painted up with heavy makeup every day, completely lacking taste and personality. She wasn’t even worthy to compare to Daddy Jiang—she didn’t have a single finger’s worth of Jiang Ning’s class.

Besides, if Cheng Zijun’s ex-wife really was such a powerhouse that she could resurrect the Cheng Group from the brink of collapse, then why on earth would Cheng Zijun have divorced her?

Cheng Zijun wasn’t a fool!

So Yun Haotian firmly believed the Cheng Group’s current success was all because of Cheng Zijun himself, not anyone else.

Hearing the name Jiang Ning, Shen Jingnian’s thin lips lifted slightly in a barely visible curve.

“No wonder.”

No wonder the Cheng Group could pull off such a miraculous turnaround in such a short time.

So it was her.

She knew how to do business.
She could write proposals.
She was skilled in medicine.
And she could fight!

How many hidden sides did she really have?

Jiang Ning was probably the most extraordinary girl Shen Jingnian had ever met.

She was like a top-grade jade rough stone with a fatal allure that even Shen Jingnian found himself unconsciously drawn to—unable to resist getting closer and seeing her true face.

Yun Haotian looked at Shen Jingnian, confused.

“Uncle, what are you talking about? What do you mean ‘no wonder’?”
“I don’t get it at all.”

Shen Jingnian glanced back with a slight smile and said,

“I suggest you get your eyes checked at the hospital.”

“Why? I’m not blind!” Yun Haotian was baffled.

Mistaking a rare gem for a worthless stone—that’s not blindness?

Although Jiang Ning looked very different before and after makeup, a person’s eyes never lie. Shen Jingnian recognized her immediately when they met again in the elevator.

Normally a man of few words, Shen Jingnian didn’t bother explaining much.

His lips parted slightly:

“Stop investigating the Cheng Group. No need to dig any further.”

Yun Haotian assumed his uncle agreed with his opinion and nodded.

“Alright, Uncle. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”

“Go ahead.” Shen Jingnian raised his hand slightly.

Yun Haotian dashed out of the Shen Group building.

Half an hour later, his car pulled up in front of a members-only bar in City A.

Chao Huang.

Only the most well-known rich playboys in Huaguo were members here.

Yun Haotian had just entered the VIP room when he saw five or six stunning women, all strikingly beautiful with flawless figures, posing and flirting, trying to win over the men inside.

His good buddy Qi Mingyang spotted him and immediately came over, slinging an arm around Yun Haotian’s shoulder.

“Young Master Yun, want to pick two?”

The beautiful ladies, upon hearing this, immediately approached Yun Haotian with coquettish voices:

“Young Master Yun, I’m Tiantian.”
“I’m Linda.”
“…”

Each one more beautiful than the last, their figures rivalled contestants in a Miss World pageant, making the men linger endlessly.

But facing these fiery beauties, Yun Haotian immediately took two steps back:

“No, no thanks.”

Though he was a reckless player who loved to drink and have fun, he had been deeply influenced by Shen Jingnian.

No matter how wild the parties, there were two things he would never touch:
drugs and women.

Especially women of questionable background—he didn’t want to catch some shameful disease or ruin his reputation.

“Who’re you trying to stay clean for?” Qi Mingyang teased.

“I’m afraid my uncle will kill me!” Yun Haotian replied with a throat-slitting gesture.

In truth, not only Yun Haotian feared Shen Jingnian—Qi Mingyang, an outsider, did too.

Sure enough, once Shen Jingnian was mentioned, Qi Mingyang immediately dropped the idea of letting Yun Haotian pick two girls.

Though the Xu family was a big shot in the capital, they were nothing compared to the all-powerful Shen family.

In the capital, in Huaxia, even internationally, Shen Jingnian was someone who could decide life and death with a single word.

Qi Mingyang glanced at Yun Haotian and laughed.

“You know what they say—heroes find it hard to resist beauties. You should introduce a gorgeous lady to your Lord Jiu, keep him happy every day so he won’t have time to bother about you!”

Warm boudoirs and spring nights—who’d have time to care about nonsense then?

Though this was a joke, the VIP room immediately fell silent after those words.

Everyone waited for Yun Haotian’s answer, especially the scantily clad beauties.

They all wanted to know Shen Jingnian’s current love life.

Because, after all, that was Shen Jingnian—the undisputed big boss.

Whoever married him would gain immense honor.

Even if they couldn’t marry him and only became a mistress, their social status would be completely transformed—like being reborn.

Yun Haotian raised his glass and said, “What are you thinking? My uncle’s a no-marriage guy. Even if she’s a goddess, he won’t be swayed!”

No marriage?

The shocked looks on everyone’s faces were priceless.

Most men liked beauties and wanted to marry a stunning, educated woman to improve their genes.

But who would’ve thought the famous Lord Shen was a strict no-marriage man?

“Lord Jiu is no-marriage?” Even Qi Mingyang was incredulous.

“Yeah.” Yun Haotian nodded.

Qi Mingyang narrowed his eyes and smiled.

“Men are yang, women are yin. It’s all about balance since ancient times. How could a man not like women?
Lord Jiu says he won’t marry only because he hasn’t met the one who moves his heart yet.”

Yun Haotian shrugged.

“Maybe. But I’ve never seen him fall for anyone.”

Honestly, he was secretly looking forward to the day his uncle would finally be softened by love.

But judging by what he saw that possibility seemed pretty slim.

After all, Shen Jingnian was already almost thirty.

Over the years, he’d met all kinds of beauties—plump or slender, all shapes and sizes.

If anyone could make him bow, it would have happened long ago, not waited until now.

“Young Master Yun,” a man standing next to Qi Mingyang poured Yun Haotian a drink, his face full of flattery, “I have a cousin who just returned from studying abroad. Not to brag, but she’s like a goddess. In the capital, even all of Huaxia, she ranks second in beauty, and no one dares to claim first. Plus, she’s very obedient, never dated anyone. Lord Jiu hasn’t dated either. What do you think—should I introduce my cousin to him?”

The man was Zhou Yaozu, a friend of Qi Mingyang but not very close to Yun Haotian.

Zhou Yaozu wasn’t exaggerating.

His cousin’s full name was Su Fuxue, a school beauty from elementary through her master’s degree, and every man who met her ended up worshipping at her feet.

That’s why Qi Mingyang entertained the idea.

No matter how powerful Lord Shen was, he was still a man.

And men were vulnerable to beautiful women.

If Lord Shen married Zhou’s cousin, the entire Zhou family would rise in status.

Even Qi Mingyang would have to play by their rules, allowing Zhou to strut through City A like a king.

The more Zhou Yaozu thought about it, the more excited he became—he could already picture Su Fuxue marrying into the wealthy Shen family.

Hearing this, Qi Mingyang’s expression changed.

He hadn’t realized Zhou was so ambitious.

Even Qi Mingyang wouldn’t dare to introduce his own sister to Lord Shen.

Small families like Zhou’s didn’t even have the manners to eat properly.

Before Yun Haotian could speak, Qi Mingyang cut off Zhou’s fantasy coldly.

“Didn’t you hear Young Master Yun say Lord Jiu’s a no-marriage guy? Even if your cousin really is a goddess, I doubt Lord Jiu would give her a second glance.”

With that, the others in the VIP room nodded and chimed in, making Zhou Yaozu look quite embarrassed.

He lowered his head silently, but a dark, ruthless gleam flashed in his eyes.

Just wait!
When my cousin conquers Lord Shen, Qi Mingyang will regret this day!

Zhou believed that with Su Fuxue’s ability, she would surely become the matriarch of the Shen family.

…

At 3 a.m.,

Yun Haotian, reeking of alcohol, arrived at the underground parking lot of the bar.

The driver had been waiting for a long time and immediately greeted him.

“Young Master.”

The driver’s voice was just loud enough to catch Cheng Zijun’s attention.

Cheng Zijun had come here for business.

Hearing the voice, he loosened his tie and glanced toward the source.

He had thought this was just some ordinary wealthy family from City A.

But to his surprise, he saw Yun Haotian!

Cheng Zijun immediately perked up, his excitement nearly bursting out.

Afraid he might be hallucinating; he rubbed his eyes and looked again.

Satisfied it was real, he strode over quickly, speaking respectfully:

“Young Master Yun!”

The underground parking lot was dimly lit.

Plus, Yun Haotian was a bit drunk, so he didn’t immediately recognize who Cheng Zijun was.

But Cheng Zijun noticed the confusion in Yun Haotian’s eyes and quickly introduced himself:

“Young Master Yun, I’m Cheng Zijun of Cheng Group.”

Once Cheng mentioned his name, Yun Haotian recognized him.

He always admired talented people and extended his hand proactively.

“So you’re President Cheng. Nice to meet you.”

Cheng Zijun didn’t expect such a distinguished person like Yun Haotian to shake hands with him first, and felt flattered.

He tried to calm his pounding heart.

“I’m honored that Young Master Yun still remembers someone as insignificant as me!”

Yun Haotian replied lightly.

“You’re too modest, President Cheng. Your proposal was personally approved by my uncle.”

In City A, few proposals ever got Shen Jingnian’s nod.

Cheng Zijun was the first.

Hearing this, Cheng knew his cooperation with the Shen family was almost guaranteed.

But he was still a little nervous and asked:

“Young Master Yun, to be honest, since the last bidding ended, I’ve been anxious. I don’t know if Lord Jiu would give Cheng Group a chance to prove ourselves.”

Yun Haotian smiled and patted Cheng Zijun’s shoulder.

“Cheng Group is currently the most promising gaming company in City A. You don’t have to worry. You’re still young, and the future is long. Keep it up—I’m rooting for you!”

Yun Haotian truly had faith in Cheng Zijun.

He had reviewed many of Cheng’s plans.

Cheng Zijun’s ideas were ambitious, even reminiscent of a young Shen Jingnian’s style—eye-catching and captivating.

So Yun Haotian believed his uncle would very likely give Cheng Group an opportunity.

But the emperor’s will be unpredictable, so he didn’t give a definite answer.

Cheng Zijun was stunned after hearing this, unable to react for a long moment.

Yun Haotian’s approval meant a lot—Yun Haotian was Shen Jingnian’s nephew, and if he believed in him, then Shen Jingnian probably did too.

After all, someone as brilliant and rare as Cheng Zijun was truly one of a kind in City A.

He was a prodigy, a dark horse in the financial world, unmatched not only in City A but maybe the entire Huaguo.
