Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In 2004, in Longcheng, at the Yujing Grand Hotel.
This is a five-star hotel that had just opened in Longcheng this year.
The entire hotel stood twenty-seven stories tall and was luxuriously decorated. Upon its opening, it instantly became the preferred venue for accommodation, conferences, and gatherings for many of Longcheng's upper-class individuals, wealthy merchants, and government units.
Because this was a chain hotel invested by a real estate company from Hong Kong, its actual controlling shareholder was a company named Chuanmo Real Estate.
Some observant individuals had long discovered that the legal representative of Chuanmo Real Estate was Qin Chuan, a newly rising mythical figure in China.
Furthermore, Qin Chuan had made his fortune starting from Longcheng, and Jin Province was his hometown. Therefore, when a five-star hotel was opened here, it was packed with customers and bustling with activity every day.
And today, the Yujing Grand Hotel was especially lively. At the entrance, festive couplets and mandarin duck patterns were hung. The banner at the top bore a large inscription: "Congratulations to Mr. Qin Gang and Ms. Huang Yao on their happy wedding!"
In the bottom corner of this banner, a small, inconspicuous line read: "Elder Brother Qin Yang and Younger Brother Qin Chuan."
The hotel's surroundings were also adorned with festive banners from many well-known enterprises in Longcheng and other places, including names that were widely recognized, such as Volkswagen Group, BYD Group, Jiangling Group, and Wuling Group.
Behind them were blessings from a large number of first-tier brands like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Toyota. This scene caused passersby to stop and watch, their eyes filled with envy.
With so many celebrities, car manufacturers, and other major enterprises offering congratulations, the individuals named Qin Gang and Huang Yao today must have been of great importance.
In fact, it was true. With the presence of the great figure, Boss Qin, Qin Gang had developed very rapidly over the past three years. His car dealership had grown larger and larger, with as many as seven or eight branches, and his business was flourishing.
After three years, Second Brother Qin had finally emerged from his past shadows. His bride was also no ordinary person; she was Huang Yao, the sister of Huang Qi.
Their union was truly a perfect match, a golden couple.
Qin Gang's residence in Longcheng was the well-known Tomson Riviera. The wedding was scheduled for the next day, and today, the place was already crowded, with the spacious five-bedroom, three-living room apartment seeming unable to contain the enthusiastic friends and relatives who had come to help.
As the groom, Qin Gang wore an uncontainable smile from morning till night. Though tired, he was very content.
Qin Shuren and Jiang Cuihua, as elders, were even more so. The elderly couple wore simple clothes and were approachable, showing no hint of arrogance despite their son being a billionaire with tens of billions.
The five-bedroom, three-living room apartment was incredibly crowded, with many familiar faces.
Suddenly, two mischievous children, appearing to be three or four years old, dashed out of a room. They were both plump and fair-skinned, with bright, distinct black and white eyes, and looked remarkably alike, like twins.
They seemed to be fighting over a toy, one chasing the other.
"Qin Xuan, don't run so fast! Stop chasing!"
"Qin Ze, quickly return the toy to your brother!"
The sudden appearance of these two little ones drew the attention of everyone in the room. Then, with the arrival of two women, a sense of awe took over.
Behind the two children, two women followed closely.
One of these women was an exquisite, mature beauty in her late twenties, tall, sexy, and with fair skin, exuding a mature and elegant aura that perfectly embodied the "big sister" archetype. Looking at her made one's head spin and feel flustered.
The other woman, slightly younger, possessed a different kind of beauty. Her face was more delicate, her features exquisite like a painting, like a fairy from a celestial realm. Her demeanor was cool and aloof; even in her haste, it didn't diminish her ethereal aura, making one reluctant to offend her.
The appearance of these two women caused a momentary, eerie silence in the lively atmosphere of the hall, as everyone's gaze was drawn to these two women of unparalleled beauty.
Someone who recognized them, seeing the situation, playfully teased, "Li Ya, Zi Mo, you don't need to chase the children like that. They are the same age and are in their playful phase. Let them play together; even if there are occasional minor squabbles, it's fine!"
The speaker was the elder sister-in-law, Wu Yanyan; only she could speak so casually.
Li Ya and Yang Zi Mo quickly scooped up the two playful children to prevent them from fighting.
"I'm so sorry, my son snatched your son's toy!" Li Ya apologized first, then said to the son in her arms, "Xiao Ze, go and return the toy to your brother. Mom hasn't taught you not to snatch other people's things?"
Qin Ze shook his head vigorously, clutching the toy truck tightly, refusing to give it up. He stubbornly declared, "No! This is my truck, not his!"
At this moment, Yang Zi Mo quickly interjected, "It's okay, they're just children, they can be a little naughty. Xuan'er, be good. Mom will buy you a new big truck, twice the size of this one, okay?"
"No! I want my truck. My dad just bought it for me, and I haven't played with it enough yet!" The boy named Qin Xuan also looked stubbornly, his gem-like eyes fixed on his toy, determined to get it back.
This scene stumped both mothers, who exchanged helpless glances.
"You're lying, my dad bought this for me!" Qin Ze shouted.
"My dad bought it for me!" Qin Xuan retorted, unyielding.
The arguing of the two children finally alerted the others in another room. The door opened, and Qin Chuan walked out. Looking through the open doorway, he saw many familiar faces inside.
They were the second-generation elites of Longcheng: brother-in-law Yang Conglong, Lu Xiaoshu, Ma Wenbo, Fang Rumei, An Nuo, and others.
These people were indeed Qin Chuan's friends, and also Second Brother Qin's friends. Qin Chuan now had businesses all over the country and was always on the move, while Qin Gang had stayed in Longcheng, naturally becoming friends with these individuals.
Today, all of them had come for Qin Gang's wedding. They were all watching the childish squabble outside with amusement. Over the past three years, some of them had learned some secrets, though they couldn't openly discuss them. Inwardly, they were filled with envy.
Qin Chuan was extraordinary, not just in business but also in his romantic life, truly enjoying the bliss of having multiple partners.
"Dad!!"
"Dad!!"
Seeing Qin Chuan appear, both children rushed towards him, shouting. Then, they immediately realized something was wrong, glared at each other, and stared fiercely at one another.
"This is my dad, why are you calling my dad?"
"This is clearly my dad, why are you calling my dad?"
The two children, now four years old, had mature little minds and their own thoughts, making their arguments quite amusing.
In the bustling living room, Li Ya and Yang Zi Mo heard the children's squabble and instinctively glanced at each other, their faces flushing. They lowered their heads, feeling an urge to leave immediately.
In fact, if it weren't for Second Brother Qin's wedding day, both women would have decided never to see each other again, tacitly choosing to ignore each other's existence. After all, in public places like this, with both children claiming Qin Chuan as their father, what would outsiders think?
However, reality didn't allow them such a choice. On such an important occasion today, they had to be present. Thus, the two women, after three years, finally met again.
Their two children were only a little over a month apart. As they grew older, it became impossible to distinguish their ages; instead, they looked more and more like twins, their features increasingly resembling Qin Chuan's.
"Hahaha!!"
Under everyone's gaze, Qin Chuan extended his arms and embraced both his sons, maintaining a calm and composed demeanor, oblivious to the curious glances around him.
"You are both my precious sons, and you both call me Dad!"
"Also, the trucks in your hands were bought by Dad, and they are exactly the same. Quickly tell Dad, where were you playing just now? Dad will take you to find another truck!"
