After dinner, Chen Yifei gave the naughty boy a bath and took him back to the bedroom to sleep.
After not listening to daddy tell stories for three days, Chengcheng listened to two stories before falling asleep. Before going to sleep, the boy hugged Chen Yifei's arm tightly and said an exclamation that was inappropriate for his age: "You must listen to daddy." Tell a lifetime of stories.”
Chen Yifei smiled and touched the boy's forehead without saying a word.
After confirming that Chengcheng was asleep, Chen Yifei quietly left the bedroom and walked on the quiet and peaceful corridor.
After taking a few steps, he bumped into Ling Hong who was about to go upstairs.
"Would it be too selfish for me to do this?" Chen Yifei stepped forward and asked seriously,
Ling Hong turned her head slightly, with a trace of confusion on her face: "Why do you say that?"
She discovered a problem. This problem had always existed, but it was the first time she paid attention to it.
Chen Yifei's face was a little pale. It was different from his healthy fair skin in the past. It was a bit similar to Lin Ze's sickly white face. However, Lin Ze's sickly white face did not make him any less charming. Instead, it added a bit of softness to his ruggedness. But Chen Yifei's paleness brings a visual fragility.
Although Chen Yifei was extremely warm and kind when taking care of his children, it was not difficult to detect his weak spirit, especially the few strands of white hair on his temples, which were not only obvious, but also very eye-catching.
Chen Yifei is only twenty-eight years old and should not have gray hair. There was no gray hair before, but now it is. In this sensitive and nerve-wracking time, Ling Hong has to pay attention to Chen Yifei's hair. This physical change,
"He is the son of Mai Changqing, your son, the grandson of your parents, and the grandson of his parents," Chen Yifei said with a subtle expression, "I may have crossed the line."
Ling Hong was a little stunned, but after a pause she shook her head and said: "It doesn't matter, you are willing to take care of Chengcheng, and Chengcheng also likes you. My parents and his parents are very busy, and they are not willing to do anything, so you can treat him like your own son." Sincerely, I am very grateful."
Chen Yifei smiled and said, "I will continue from now on."
"Continue." Ling Hong nodded,
"Thank you." Chen Yifei bowed gratefully,
…
creak,
The study door was pushed open. Chen Yifei gently put down his pen, rubbed his slightly sore eyes, and looked up.
Recently, my energy has not been as good as before. I feel sleepy after staying up until 12 o'clock. In the past, this time was the beginning of my night work.
Could it be that you are really getting older?
"I'm sleepy again." Qiu Fei stood in front of the desk indifferently, staring at Chen Yifei indifferently.
"A bit." Chen Yifei smiled helplessly, "I haven't been in good spirits lately and I get sleepy easily."
"Are you sure, he is really mentally ill." Qiu Fei narrowed his eyes slightly,
"Then what do you think the problem is?" Chen Yifei asked with a smile.
Qiu Fei fell silent,
Some words are not what he should say, and he is not qualified to say them. In any case, Chen Yifei's martial arts is not as good as his own, but in terms of brains and wisdom, even Qiu Fei thinks he can't catch up.
"In a while, I have something I need you to deal with." Chen Yifei took a sip of slightly cold Pu'er and said softly,
"Okay." Qiu Fei didn't ask and just agreed.
"How are you doing lately?" Chen Yifei asked,
"What." Qiu Fei asked back,
"Your dream." Chen Yifei joked, "Besides this matter, do you have anything else you care about?"
"According to the current situation, there are enough people." Qiu Fei's eyebrows showed a deep sense of relief, "But there is no suitable opportunity."
"Are you anxious?" Chen Yifei asked,
"That's out of the question." Qiu Fei shook his head, "I still have room for improvement, so there's no harm in waiting."
"Then just wait." Chen Yifei smiled and said, "If you are in a hurry, I can help you hurry up."
Qiu Fei stared at Chen Yifei meaningfully and remained silent for a long time.
Help urge,
Of those people he needs, which one is not a heavyweight?
He did not doubt the authenticity of what Chen Yifei said, and he did not think that Chen Yifei said this just to please himself. When he said to help himself, he meant to help him sincerely, without any conditions attached.
Having been with Chen Yifei for ten years, he knows Chen Yifei well. He also knows that Chen Yifei has never been a big talker. If he really presses, he must have the ability.
"I don't want to." Chen Yifei said with a smile,
"It's not necessary." Qiu Fei said,
"Well, it's really not necessary." Chen Yifei said with a smile, took out a pack of Chinese medicine from the drawer, opened it, and slowly lit one.
It's been a long time since he opened his cigarettes,
In the past, he did not open cigarettes for socializing, and no one was qualified to let Chen Yifei, a non-smoker, pass cigarettes to socializing.
There was only one person who handed him cigarettes, Mai Changqing, his only brother in the world.
After he died, Chen Yifei no longer had the habit of opening cigarettes and passing them around.
Now, he opened a pack of cigarettes and lit them for himself,
"Smoking is bad for your health." Qiu Fei said calmly,
Chen Yifei smiled and said: "Medically speaking, even if I am a long-time smoker, as long as I can quit smoking before the age of thirty-nine, I can slowly return to a non-smoking state in the days to come. What's more, I am not a long-time smoker." gun."
Qiu Fei paused and said,
"Don't do those things unless I ask for it in the future." Chen Yifei stared at Qiu Fei's eyes as cold as ice and said meaningfully,
Qiu Fei thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."
"Go out." Chen Yifei waved his hand, "I should deal with some things."
…
"I heard that there is something wrong with Chen Yifei's health."
The eldest lady of the Han family lay on the sofa, grabbed Lin Ze's arm and said,
"Yeah." Lin Ze lit a cigarette and said, "I heard about it too."
"Is there a real problem or a fake problem?" Miss Han family frowned and said, "He has always been in good health. Besides, he is a man who knows how to live. Now he has plans to win over Chen Xueqin. He is very leisurely. , how could something go wrong?"
"You ask me who I'm asking." Lin Ze smiled and shook his head, "He has health problems, and it's not a bad thing for you."
"That's true." Han Xiaoyi pouted, "Chen Yifei has always been the number one enemy of my Han family. However, even so, I have never thought of cursing him to be sick to reverse the situation. If I want to win, I have to be aboveboard. This young lady is the only one who can win." I don’t bother to do those shameless things.”
"No one said they doubted your character." Lin Ze said, "I will make whatever you want for dinner."
"No need." Han Xiaoyi shook her head, "Dinner has been booked by Yue Qun, you have to go to Xue's house."
"Why." Lin Ze asked curiously,
"Xue Gui came here during your lunch break and said that Aunt Xue's family has something to do with you." Han Xiaoyi said sourly, "This woman is so arrogant, why wouldn't she come here to find you? She has to find someone to pass on the message. I've never seen such a The woman holding it."
Lin Ze smiled and joked: "Then I won't go."
"Okay." Han Xiaoyi said with joy, "It's better not to go, let her be proud of it."
"I'm going to make dinner." Lin Ze stood up and said,
"You..." Han Xiaoyi grabbed Lin Ze, "You'd better go."
"Why." Lin Ze rubbed his nose,
"Since she is looking for you, she must not be looking for you for no reason. Maybe there is something important." Han Xiaoyi explained, "It's better to go, so as not to be called stingy."
"What important thing can I do? The most important thing is to be fired by the Han family and become a homeless person. Then I ask you, will you fire me?" Lin Ze asked seriously,
"Of course not." Han Xiaoyi said with a straight face, "As long as I, Han Xiaoyi, am here in the Han family, no one will dare to fire you."
"That's fine then."
"It's better to go." Han Xiaoyi advised, "The situation in Yanjing is a bit strange now. It would be quite helpful to have this smart woman analyze it."
Lin Ze laughed and pinched the girl's delicate face: "I knew it."
"Okay, okay, I didn't blame you if you wanted to go over. Why do you have to expose this matter? You sincerely make this lady look bad, right?" Han Xiaoyi said with a tight face,
"I'll go right away and find out the truth for you."
…
I haven't seen the Queen for a while. Brother Xiao Lin wanted to compete with her on chess skills, but seeing that he had been waiting in the living room for half an hour and drank three cups of tea before the woman had finished handling business, he gave up. With this idea in mind, he pulled Xue Gui, who was eating peanuts and drinking wine, and said: "Hey, your aunt is looking for me, isn't it? It's already dinner time, even if you don't talk to me, you still have to prepare my dinner. .”
"Just drink two glasses of wine with me. How can there be so much fuss?" Xue Gui poured a glass of wine for Lin Ze, picked up the glass and said, "Here, drink."
Brother Xiao Lin said with rare coyness: "Drinking on an empty stomach is not good for your stomach."
",." Xue Gui stared at Lin Ze carefully, "You took the wrong medicine."
"I plan to live to be a hundred years old." Lin Ze lit a cigarette and said calmly,
"Would you like to drink it?" Xue Gui handed the wine to Lin Ze.
"Serve some cold dishes first." Brother Xiao Lin said,
"Your uncle." Xue Gui cursed,
Just as he was about to say something else, a servant walked up slowly and said to Lin Ze: "Mr. Lin, Miss, please go to the study."
Lin Ze stopped messing around with Xue Gui. As soon as he stood up, Xue Gui grabbed him and said, "Drink this glass of wine."
Lin Ze was confused, but he couldn't resist Xue Gui's hospitality. He drank the liquor in one gulp, wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "You just took the wrong medicine."
Looking at Lin Ze who was striding towards his aunt's study, Xue Gui drank to himself and murmured to himself: "Boy, this glass of wine will give you courage. Look at my aunt's attitude today, I guess it will be better soon." It can shock you so much that you become weak all over."
…
Lin Ze walked slowly to Xue Bailing's study. Seeing that the Queen was still immersed in drawing, he couldn't help but sit opposite her in a swaggering manner and said rudely: "What are you doing with me?"
"Wait three more minutes." Xue Bailing dropped these words and ignored Lin Ze again.
Lin Ze didn't mind. After all, he had been waiting for half an hour. It didn't matter if he waited for three more minutes. But he found that Xue Bailing was a little weird today, no, not at all, but very weird.
As for what's weird, he can't tell, but one thing is certain, Xue Bailing will do or say something that makes him uneasy today.
snap,
Just as Lin Ze lit the cigarette, Xue Bailing put down the pen in her hand, slowly raised her head, and said one word at a time: "I received news that the Chen family will make big moves."
"Yeah." Lin Ze was stunned for a moment, rubbed his nose and said, "It has something to do with me."
"It has something to do with Han Xiaoyi." Xue Bailing said,
"Isn't Chen Yifei in bad health?" Lin Ze asked with a frown.
"Yes, there are rumors that he is in poor health." Xue Bailing said, "But does this conflict with his plan to deal with the Han family?"
",." Lin Ze was speechless,
"This time, the Han family may not be able to cope with it." Xue Bailing said,
"How do you say it?" Lin Ze asked in surprise. This time the Chen family will make a big move. How big will it be? Why are they having trouble with the Han family at this juncture?"
"You know more than many people." Xue Bailing stared at Lin Ze calmly, "So you should know how terrible the Bai family is and how complicated the Chen family is."
"I understand, but it doesn't relate to what you said." Lin Ze frowned and shook his head.
"Take a look." Xue Bailing handed a piece of white paper placed in front of her to Lin Ze.
There are countless names on it,
Chen Xueqin, Ling Hong, Chen Yifei of the Chen family,
Bai Twelve, Bai Wanjun of the Bai family,
Han family’s…
Xue Gui’s family…
And those big guys who are waiting and watching,
The relationships between the characters are intricate, and the connecting lines are marked with relationships and identities. In fact, this piece of paper reveals more information than Lin Ze knows.
It was a simple character map, but it took Lin Ze half an hour to browse it.
After reading it, he put down the atlas with a strange look on his face, took a puff of cigarette silently, and said with twitching corners of his mouth: "Why do you know more than me?"
"Why can't I know more than you?" Xue Bailing's eyes changed from the usual indifference and said sternly, "Who are you, the bodyguard of the Han family, who am I, the granddaughter of Mr. Bai, why can't I know more than you?"
Lin Ze smiled bitterly,
"As far as I know, Bai Wanjun has already communicated with you. Let's not mention her for the moment. Now you must understand that the situation in Yanjing has reached a point where there is no need to delay." Xue Bailing said word by word. , "It will definitely alarm the whole of China, and even the whole world."
Lin Ze's heart sank slightly,
He knew that Xue Bailing was not exaggerating,
According to Xue Bailing's analysis, this will be a fierce battle that can last enough to bring down many wealthy families, and the center of this fierce battle is the Chen family and the Han family.
Lin Ze understood why Xue Bailing was so cautious.
Lin Ze finally understood why a woman as calm as Xue Bailing delayed her meal time to analyze the entire situation.
It's not that she suddenly became cautious, but the events that were about to happen gave her enough reason to walk on thin ice.
"Will you be involved?" Lin Ze asked curiously,
Now that some things are destined, Lin Ze no longer feels uneasy, but instead cares about the aloof Queen Xue.
"Yes." Xue Bailing nodded, "No."
"What do you mean?" Lin Ze frowned,
"According to my logical analysis, the Xue family will definitely be involved in this matter, or in other words, if there are no accidents, this will be a major event with indiscriminate involvement." Xue Bailing slightly squinted her foxy mouth. Meimou said, "Not only the Xue family, but in the end, maybe the Bai family will also be involved."
"The Bai family." Lin Ze's heart twitched slightly,
Chen Yifei is the head of Asia,
And the Bai family,
Lin Ze suddenly thought of an extremely important and sensitive issue.
How did the Chen family launch this attack? Who initiated it?
The Chen family took the initiative,
The Bai family requested,
"I know what you want to ask." Xue Bailing said suddenly, "Actually, I don't know. I may know better than you in some aspects. That's because behind me, there is a person who has lived for a hundred years. Grandpa, who is many years old, and the question you want to know, even if I live to be two hundred years old, I will not be able to give you the answer."
Lin Ze was just curious,
But you don’t need to know the answer from Xue Bailing,
The world-famous terrorist shark has been tricked,
Tokyo Ichitō also reshuffled its cards and changed dynasties.
Now, according to Xue Bailing's wishes, the Chen family will launch a devastating storm.
Was it Chen Yifei's initiative or the Bai family's instigation? Does it matter?
What Lin Ze needs to do most at this moment is to run home quickly, grab the wolfing young lady and say: Young lady, the world is in chaos.
