Chapter 654: Sun Hongjun’s Past
Translator: VinceStar Editor: PrisMiko
What about Jidun City?”
Sun Hongjun’s eyes lit up and immediately realized that if Guo Jinbiao was dead, then Jidun City’s territory… This was a good opportunity to expand outward!
“It’s not clear. There is no news yet,” said Tian Qianren.
“At this time, Jidun City had no leader. It must be pretty chaotic. Can we take this opportunity to go to Jidun City and occupy a place?” Sun Hongjun hesitated and said.
“Now, I don’t know if Bao Sanli was intentional or not. If they spontaneously decided to a.s.sa.s.sinate Guo Jinbiao, then perhaps Jidun City wasn’t prepared for it. But if it had been long-planned before, then they must already have a plan to conquer the territory. If we go now, there won’t be a lot of benefits. Even if we got half of them, it is already very good.” Tian Qianren a.n.a.lyzed.
“En, what you said is true.” Sun Hongjun nodded. “Always pay attention to the movements over there!”
“Understood!” said Tian Qianren.
After hanging up the phone, Sun Hongjun fell into deep thought… Jidun, Jidun… He suddenly remembered what Yang Ming said before. If one Song Jiang wasn’t enough, how about adding another Jidun City?
Could it be that… Yang Ming had already received the news in advance? Did he get it even earlier than me? This thing seems a bit weird…
Sun Hongjun also faintly knew that the relations.h.i.+p between Yang Ming and Bao Sanli wasn’t bad. However, even if it was good, can such a private event be something that Bao Sanli tells to Yang Ming? Also, looking at the situation, this seemed to have happened last night. Yang Ming came to Donghai this early morning… Was it just a coincidence? Maybe I was thinking too much?
Sun Hongjun shook his head. Since he couldn’t understand it, he decided not to think about it anymore. He would stay put and watch the development in Jidun.
Amidst his contemplation, he saw his lover push open the door and come in. Sun Hongjun was very fond of his wife, otherwise, he would have looked for another woman in these many years.
After his lover gave birth to Sun Jie, she was no longer fertile. Of course, Sun Hongjun wanted to have another son, but because of his affection for his wife, he didn’t do anything that affected his lover.
Sun Hongjun put away the doubts in his heart and raised his head. He smiled and said to his lover, “How come today you have time to come to my study? Usually, you wouldn’t be here even if I invited you.”
“Ai, you stupid old man, isn’t it still because of our home’s Xiao Jie’s matter?” Mother Sun sighed and sat on the sofa in the study.
Sun Hongjun also stood up from the boss’ chair behind the desk and sat next to his lover. He said softly, “I was also doing this for Xiao Jie’s lifelong happiness! How can we be sloppy with this kind of thing?”
“Sloppy? What do you mean by sloppy?” Mother Sun felt reluctant after listening to it. “I think Yang Ming, this child, is very good. Why are you, old thing, so stubborn? I’ll tell you. If you give me more trouble, I… …I would divorce you!”
“Sha? Divorce?” Sun Hongjun was shocked and quickly hugged his loved one, “Xiao Feng, what are you talking about? How can you divorce me because of this little matter!? Wasn’t I just doing this for my daughter’s good?”
“What kind of good? Why don’t you look at how old Xiao Jie is now? It was because she was hurt in the past that she has been hostile to men. Moreover, it’s not that you haven’t heard the words outside… They say our Xiao Jie is… Forget it. Now that Xiao Jie was willing to have a boyfriend again, you’re still such a busybody!” Mother Sun immediately was unhappy about it.
“It’s not that I want to be a busybody, but I have to figure out Yang Ming’s true intention. What if he wanted only our family a.s.sets? After he got the business, then he can just kick out our home’s Xiao Jie.” Sun Hongjun was worried too as he spoke.
“Not that our Xiao Jie is lacking in anything! Not only is she beautiful, but there are also plenty of people pursuing Xiao Jie. I say, even if Yang Ming had other intentions, he would receive both beauty and wealth! It would have no effect on Xiao Jie!” Mother Sun said.
“We can’t be sure of that. Our daughter is already twenty-six this year. Yang Ming was only about twenty? After a few years, once Xiao Jie started aging and her beauty was less, I’m afraid…” Sun Hongjun smiled bitterly.
“Why do you think of people like this? Conspire to get your family a.s.sets, just conspiring to get your family a.s.sets!” Mother Sun was a little angry. “Well, Sun Hongjun, I’ll ask you this. When you wanted to marry me, were you conspiring over my family’s a.s.sets?”
“I? Of course, I wasn’t!” Sun Hongjun shook his head and said resolutely, “I haven’t taken a penny from your family. Moreover, your family’s business… Don’t I have to take care of it now?”
Speaking of this, Sun Hongjun couldn’t help but be a little proud. After decades of hard work, he had gotten his superior position. From the original unnamed kid, he had become powerful and mighty.
“That is the present! At the time, I was also the daughter of an affluent family. What about you? You were just a worker who had just changed your profession.” Mother Sun said, “Don’t you think about yourself? How did my father treat you at the time? If it weren’t because of my mother who stood her ground against the opinion of the ma.s.ses and supported me, there would be no way you could have married me!”
“Hehe, that was because your mother and you have a long-term vision. Aren’t I doing fine now?” Sun Hongjun said while feeling proud.
“Really? So, because you were hara.s.sed by my dad in those years, now your psychology had gone off balance. So, you want to create trouble for Yang Ming?” Mother Sun turned the thread of discussion. “You were just a small worker in those days. Yang Ming is at least better than you. He is a college student, and he already has his own company!”
“…” Sun Hongjun was speechless at the words of his lover, and he silently lowered his head.
“Moreover, how do you know that Yang Ming won’t be improving in the future? I think he simply doesn’t care about your little a.s.sets at all. His achievements in the future would be hundreds of times better than yours!” Mother Sun continued to mutter, “It’s just like how you felt that you would succeed in the future!”
“Okay! I will stop caring about it, okay?” Sun Hongjun yelled in embarra.s.sment. He remembered the happenings of those years. He then realized why his father-in-law looked so down on him… Today, wasn’t he viewing Yang Ming with the same lens?
However, although his lover’s family operated a small company at the time, the family was only doing well. It was not comparable with himself now. It was already very difficult for someone to surpa.s.s the height of what he had achieved now!
The underground emperor of a city, what prestige and glory!
He didn’t think that Yang Ming could surpa.s.s him, but he thought that at the very least Yang Ming needed to have the ability to succeed him! Otherwise, if the family business fell into his hands, it would gradually decline.
Perhaps it would be better than handing it over to Sun Zhiwei, but eventually, the Sun Family would still decline. Thinking of this, Sun Hongjun couldn’t help but admire the two children of Tian Qianren’s family. The first kid is sensible and mature. Although the second kid is a bit pampered like Sun Zhiwei, he isn’t as childish as Sun Zhiwei. At the very least, he is a martial arts geek. If the elder brother takes care of the underworld, having the second brother to be a heroic commander of the military would be good, too.
But in my family, my daughter is indeed very capable. But after all, she’s a daughter…
“Hongjun, I know your worries. However, I think that my, Jin Xiaofeng’s, eyes are pretty accurate in gauging people!” Mother Sun said, “I chose you that year, instead of the guy with a better family background named Qin… Qin what again? Just that Qin Family’s young master… How was his family background at the time? He was even better than my family, but now? We no longer hear about this character in Donghai anymore, right? Why did I choose you instead of him? I love many aspects of you, but the main thing was I thought you were a person with a strong drive! How about now?”
“That… hehe…” When it comes to the matters in those years, Sun Hongjun would feel a little smug.
“Therefore, I think that Yang Ming is really a very good kid.” Mother Sun said, “If you don’t believe it, I will put my words here today! At most in ten years’ time, he will surpa.s.s you!”
“Ten years? Really?” Sun Hongjun didn’t believe it.
“Maybe it’s unnecessary to say all this.” Mother Sun shook her head. “If you don’t believe it, you wait and see.”
“Sure, I don’t think there’s any problem for an old man like me to live another ten years. I can even handle the Sun Family’s matters for another ten years!” Sun Hongjun said, “From now on, I won’t say much. I will watch whether this Yang Ming can achieve any kind of achievements in ten years!”
“Hehe, do as you wis.h.!.+” This time, Mother Sun didn’t say anything because this was enough already. “Tonight when Yang Ming comes over to eat at home, you be a little friendlier.”
“Okay!” Sun Hongjun nodded. “I’ll call Old San to buy some food and prepare for it then.”
“That’s a good boy!” Mother Sun kissed Sun Hongjun’s face and said, “I’ll reward you at night…”
“Haha…” Sun Hongjun laughed happily like a child.
In fact, Mother Sun was still underestimating Yang Ming’s strength. Yang Ming’s present achievements had already surpa.s.sed Sun Hongjun by a hundred or even a thousand times!
If Yang Ming’s previous abilities were purely by luck, this time, the action against Jidun City relied entirely on Yang Ming’s own efforts. Li Qiang and the rest were elites trained by him with his own hands!
