Chapter 109: A Suspicious Identity

Chapter 109: Suspicious Identity

Yang Yeye (or rather, Yang Xuan) felt her sense of security slipping away as Fan Xiaoyou painted such a dire picture of her future life with Rong Kai.

Just as Yang was feeling unsettled, Rong Kai called. "Honey, where are you? Still with Xiaoyou?"

Distracted by Fan’s words, Yang answered absentmindedly, "Huh... what did you say?"

Rong Kai sighed helplessly on the other end. "You... sigh... I asked if you were still with Xiaoyou. I’ve finished work, and I’ll come pick you two up in a bit!"

Caught off guard, Yang blurted out, "Pick us up? You don't even have a car, what are you picking us up with?"

Rong Kai grinned, patiently explaining, "Honey, I’m the General Manager of KINGYI Kangcheng now. The company provided a car, so starting today, your husband has officially joined the ranks of car owners. Plus... after dinner, I’m taking you to see our new home. It’s a property provided by the company..."

Yang couldn't fathom why Rong Kai, who had just started and lacked any performance record, would be provided with both a car and housing by a Fortune 500 company like KINGYI. While property prices in Kangcheng weren't exorbitant, they certainly weren't cheap. Yang felt as though she were living in a dream.

"Rong Kai, how did you even get into KINGYI? How does someone just walk into a Fortune 500 company and instantly land a position as General Manager?" She was truly baffled; it all felt too surreal.

Rong Kai asked smugly, "What? You don’t believe in your husband’s capabilities? Or do you think I got into KINGYI through some 'hidden rules'?"

Hidden rules?!

Yang suddenly recalled the Kangcheng Evening News from a while back, which featured a photograph of the head of KINGYI. She remembered discussing it with Feng Youru at the time, and both of them had remarked on the striking resemblance between Wang Guocheng and that CEO.

No, to be precise, Wang Guocheng looked exactly like the head of KINGYI. Her mind raced, connecting Wang’s arrival and departure to the sudden changes in Rong Kai’s life. She couldn't help but harbor suspicions about Wang Guocheng’s true identity.

Fan Xiaoyou noticed Yang standing there, phone in hand, staring blankly into space. She tugged at her sleeve. "Hey, why aren't you talking to my brother? You haven't had a fight, have you?"

Yang hung up the phone quickly and gripped Fan’s arm. "You... do you find your brother’s promotion strange? He was just an ordinary person, completely unremarkable, with no management experience. How could he walk straight into a Fortune 500 company like KINGYI? It’s... it’s highly unusual!"

Seeing Yang obsessed with how Rong Kai got the job, Fan pulled on her arm. "Hey, are you alright? He just met a mentor who appreciated his talent. Why are you so hung up on how he joined KINGYI? Are you doubting his ability? Besides, isn't it a good thing he was recognized?"

Yang gripped Fan’s hand back. "Xiaoyou, I think there’s something wrong with your Guocheng’s identity!"

Fan was confused as to why Yang kept questioning him. "Xuan, why do you keep doing this? What do you mean by 'something wrong'?"

Yang said, somewhat agitated, "Xiaoyou, have you considered that your Guocheng might actually be the big boss of KINGYI?"

Fan reached out to touch Yang’s forehead and chuckled. "My dear, you aren't running a fever, are you? He’s just a regular teacher. How could he be the boss of a Fortune 500 company? It’s not April Fool’s Day, don't be so paranoid."

Yang interrupted her. "Listen to me, Xiaoyou. I really don't think he’s simple. Think about it: if he weren't the boss of KINGYI, how could my Rong Kai suddenly become the CEO of a branch office? There’s only one explanation—Wang Guocheng is the head of KINGYI, do you understand?"

Fan gave a wry smile and scratched her head, feeling awkward. "Honey, I think you’re overthinking this! If he were the boss, would he need to go out and apply for jobs? When he was here in Kangcheng before, I found a cover letter he’d printed, and the company he was applying to was the KINGYI Kangcheng branch."

Hearing this, Yang felt confused and pressed further. "Did you see what position he was applying for?"

Fan never made a habit of snooping through others' belongings. She had only picked up the letter for him and hadn't looked at the contents. Even the company name was just a glance. Fan shrugged. "No, I didn't see!"

Yang sighed. "I hope I’m just overthinking it, but I still feel like your Wang Guocheng is no ordinary man."

"No ordinary man? Sister-in-law, you really think highly of him! I’ll tell him later that in your eyes, he’s comparable to the CEO of a Fortune 500 company." Fan joked dismissively.

Before long, Rong Kai called again, telling them to come downstairs; he had arrived in the company car.

When Yang saw a sleek, imposing black Audi A8L parked there, she felt like she was dreaming. She looked at Fan. "Xiaoyou, pinch me!"

Fan looked at her skeptically. "Pinch you? Why?"

Yang blushed, feeling embarrassed. "I feel like I'm dreaming. Is that really an Audi A8L your brother is driving?"

Fan nodded honestly. "Yeah, it is. So? Is there a problem?"

Yang felt her legs go weak; it all felt too unreal. She leaned on Fan’s arm. "Xiaoyou, my legs are wobbly. Help me!"

Fan sighed as she looked at her. Yang really needed to change. "Xuan, you really need to transform. You’re going to be facing this kind of material life more and more. After all, my brother is a branch General Manager now. As his wife... you need to be gentle, dignified, poised, and broad-minded. Only then can you keep him by your side, secure your position as the lady of the house, and fend off the other women circling him, making them know when to retreat."
