Chapter 813: Father (Part 2)
I Don't Want To Reincarnate
Old Chen and Liang meijuan left Jianyu at 10 am and arrived in gang city at around 2 pm. Seeing that their neighbors had returned, the chubby aunt Xia was very happy and immediately brought the members of the Haining District gossip Committee over to show her concern.
All of them were middle-aged women in their fifties. They were scolding the people who spread the rumors as they helped Liang meijuan pack her luggage.
Chen Zhaojun shook his head. Those nonsensical news were probably spread by this group of Big Sisters who exaggerated the details. The key was that they themselves did not realize it.
um ⦠Why donât you stay at home? â she asked.
âIâm going to work soon, Iâm going to the unit for a walk.â Chen Zhaojun stood up and said.
Okay, okay, okay. You can go. Donât buy groceries tonight. Come to our house for dinner.
It was not just one neighbor who had invited her. It was not because Chen hansheng was rich now that they started to flatter Empress Dowager Liang. It was really because they were old neighbors and had a good relationship, which was like that of relatives.
After Chen Zhaojun went downstairs, he didnât really go to the unit. He walked along the river and finally walked to the cangwu community.
He was prepared to meet Xiao Hongwei for a chat. Chen Zhaojun was originally a âlittle fish gang.â Even after his son and little fish broke up, he could see that the two still had feelings for each other.
Breaking up should be a forced decision.
Therefore, old Chen had been waiting for the day when Chen hansheng and Xiao rongyuâs relationship would be restored.
At the same time, he was also very curious about the reason why Xiaoyu would say â I donât love Chen hansheng â against her will.
It wasnât until the Spring Festival in Jianye, when he saw his â other daughter-in-law â, Shen youchu, that old Chen suddenly came to a realization. Could it be that Chen hanshengâs two-timing had been exposed?
If this was the case, it would explain why Xiao Yu âer had to bear the pain and leave hansheng.
However, if this was the case, Chen hansheng and Xiaoyu would never get back together again.
Old Chen did not tell Empress Dowager Liang about this discovery. He only reminded Chen hansheng seriously before he left-â the past is in the past. You chose Shen youchu this time, so donât cause any more trouble.
As for the relationship with the Xiao family, Chen Zhaojun decided to deal with it himself. Xiao Hongwei might say some unpleasant things, but old Chen was willing to clean up Chen hanshengâs mess.
This was the effort of a father behind the scenes. Although Empress Dowager Liang often made a fuss and Chen hansheng was domineering outside, they all knew that the generous and wise old Chen was the spiritual pillar of the family.
After dialing Xiao Hongweiâs number, Chen Zhaojun hesitated between â old Xiao â and â bureau chief Xiao. however, he remembered that Chen hansheng and Shen youchu had already confirmed their relationship, so he still chose â bureau chief Xiao.
âChief Xiao,â
Happy New Year, â Chen Zhaojun said politely. are you free now? thereâs a tea place near cangwu green garden. I want to report to you about work.
This was a very official sentence, polite but also a little distant and distant. If it was â old Xiao, â it would probably be a form of address between friends.
Chen Zhaojun was prepared to be rejected, but to his surprise, Xiao Hongwei was silent for a while on the phone, and finally said in a muffled voice, itâs better if you donât go to the tea room. Thereâs already good tea at home. Lu Yuqing and little Yu âer are visiting relatives. Besides, do you, the head of the district office, need to report to me about work? old Chen, you donât have to be so polite.
âï¼â
A question mark appeared in Chen Zhaojunâs mind. He and Xiao Hongwei were both officials who had been in the system for many years. They had a very accurate grasp of the subtext of the exchange.
Not only did Xiao Hongwei not refuse, but he even asked her to go to his house. If the two families were still in-laws, that would be normal, but the current situation didnât make sense.
âAlright, Iâll head over now.â
Although he was full of doubts, Chen Zhaojun still agreed. When he arrived at Xiao Hongweiâs house, he found that he had already made a pot of good tea.
A small handful of tea leaves freely unfolded and settled in the glass kettle. The steam rose with the fragrance of tea. The afternoon sun shone in through the window. Because of the â Fu â character, a hollow â Xi â character was formed on the floor.
Such a scene should have warmed oneâs heart, but Xiao Hongweiâs spirit was not good. His two sword-like eyebrows were tightly locked, his originally neat hair was now a little messy, and his eyes were slightly dark. It seemed that he had accumulated a lot of pressure.
The image of â Daniel Wu of port city â had completely disappeared. He was now more like an ordinary middle-aged father.
Chen Zhaojun put down the fruit in his hand. He had specially gone to the supermarket to buy it. He was thinking about what situation old Xiao had encountered.
Work?
He had never heard of any changes in positions.
Family?
Even if he quarreled with Lu Yuqing, he would not behave like this.
Could it be?
Was it because of little Yu âer?
······
âIt must be because of little Yu âer.â
Chen Zhaojun knew in his heart that he was also a father, so he could understand a fatherâs concern for his child. He was the same for Chen hansheng.
However, what could happen to little Yu âer?
âOld Chen, why did you specially buy fruits?â
Xiao Hongwei took out a clean glass and poured tea for Chen Zhaojun. He said calmly, your son always comes empty-handed. The most annoying thing is that he would take some of my precious cigarettes and wine, saying that he would bring them home to show respect to you.
â······â
Chen Zhaojun was a little embarrassed. This was really Chen hanshengâs style.
âHave some tea. Actually, even if you didnât look for me today, I was planning to look for you.â
Xiao Hongwei moved the cup over and looked at elder Chen.
Chen Zhaojunâs heart moved. For the next few minutes, the living room was very quiet. The two fathers were drinking tea, each thinking about their own thoughts.
Naturally, Chen Zhaojun felt more guilty. If his guess was correct, then the breakup was Chen hanshengâs fault. Therefore, he intended to express three meanings. One was that he regretted that Chen hansheng and Xiaoyu did not make it to the end.The second was to represent Chen hansheng and apologize.The third was to wish Xiao Yu a better life in the future.
Just as he was organizing his words, Xiao Hongwei spoke first.
âOld Chen,â
Xiao Hongwei put down his teacup and said,âsheâs planning to go to the United States after school starts.â
âFor that transnational marriage lawsuit?â
Chen Zhaojun knew about this.
âYes.â
Xiao Hongwei nodded. He stared at the photo of the family of three on the wall and suddenly fell silent.
Xiao rongyuâs smile was as beautiful as a flower in the photo, and her dimples were mesmerizing. Even old Xiaoâs eyes gradually became gentle.
Chen Zhaojun did not disturb him. After a while, Xiao Hongwei took the initiative and said, itâs difficult for old Lu and I to go abroad now, so I would like to ask hansheng to help take care of us. After weâre done with the check-in procedures, weâll get someone else to take care of us.@@novelbin@@
âAh?â
Chen Zhaojun frowned. He never thought that Xiao Hongwei would actually discuss this with him.
But they had already broken up. Besides, Chen hansheng had already chosen to be with Shen youchu, so this was not appropriate.
Chen hansheng could no longer be caught up in an endless emotional entanglement. Old Chen was about to tactfully refuse when Xiao Hongwei suddenly became a little agitated. youâre a father, and Iâm a father too. Weâre all doing this for our children. Canât Chen hansheng do something for his children? â
âW-W-what do you mean?â
Chen Zhaojun was not a fool. He understood the meaning of this sentence.
At that moment, Chen qifa finally understood what it meant to be struck by lightning, to be short of breath, and to have his heart stuck in his throat. He was stunned for a long time. Not only was he shocked, but his arms and legs also started to tremble uncontrollably.
âYou ⦠You mean â¦â
Chen Zhaojun couldnât wait to confirm it, but his tongue was so nervous that it couldnât straighten, and he stuttered.
Xiao Yu âer should be pregnant. She hasnât realized it yet.
In the end, it was old Xiao who gave an answer.
When Xiao Hongwei said this, his voice was actually a little choked up. His precious daughter was pregnant, and as a father, he had the most complicated thoughts.
In particular, Chen hansheng and Xiaoyu had just broken up. What should they do?
······
(The title âfatherâ actually represents three people. The plot at the back began to be high-energy. Iâm begging for monthly votes to thank everyone.)
