"Xueqin, you decided to hold a birthday party." Ling Hong threw Chengcheng into the living room to play and went straight to Chen Xueqin's study.
"Yeah." Chen Xueqin smiled and handed a guest list to Ling Hong, "So I need Sister Hong to check it for me to see if I missed anyone."
Ling Hong was slightly surprised, but she still took the list and checked the names one by one.
"The Han family, Han Xiaoyi, the Xue family, Xue Bailing, the Bai family, Bai Twelve." Ling Hong frowned slightly and closed the guest list, "You also want to invite him."
"What's the problem?" Chen Xueqin said with a smile, "No matter what, he is the most powerful young master in Yanjing today."
"Can you hold it in?" Ling Hong asked thoughtfully,
She was indeed afraid that Chen Xueqin would not be able to bear it,
Chen Yifei is indeed operated by Chen Xueqin, but to a certain extent, it is also inseparable from the Bai family. Chen Xueqin has indeed undergone a great transformation now, and even has a vague shadow of Chen Yifei, but here Regarding this matter, Ling Hong had to consider whether Chen Xueqin could really bear it.
"Don't worry, Sister Hong." Chen Xueqin smiled and shook her head, "Now that I'm the only one left in the Chen family, I won't act as arbitrarily as before. Besides, do you think I held this birthday party just to show off? Take the limelight."
Hearing this, Ling Hong fell into deep thought.
Of course she knew that Chen Xueqin was not just trying to make a splash,
Ling Hong has always seen Chen Xueqin's transformation in the past few years. She has changed, she has really changed.
Ever since she learned that Chen Yifei was the enemy who killed her father, she changed.
And when Chen Yifei passed away, she seemed to have become another person,
Calm, restrained, down-to-earth, even gentle,
Yes, it is gentle, not as sharp and aggressive as before, nor as rude and impetuous as before.
With such a Chen Xueqin, Ling Hong is indeed relieved.
"Sister Hong, this party will provide me with a strategic layout for the next ten years." Chen Xueqin narrowed her eyes slightly and said,
"Strategic layout for the next ten years." Ling Hong raised her eyebrows, then shook her head and said, "How can this group of people be so easy for you to see through? Let's not mention Bai Twelve and Xue Bailing. Han Xiaoyi alone has already... She is not the little witch she once was."
"It's like I'm still the Chen Xueqin who spent all day in bars and went to see my brother when in trouble." Chen Xueqin said meaningfully,
After hearing this, Ling Hong stopped worrying about this issue and opened the list again, browsing one by one.
The list includes many people who have had contact with, are currently cooperating with, or may have close exchanges with the Chen family in the future, including business, political, and military figures.
Of course, she has invited all the top figures in the business world, but in politics and the military, if Chen Yifei held a birthday party instead, the weight of the invited guests would be at least one level higher.
This is the gap, the gap between her and Chen Yifei,
Ling Hong could see through it at a glance, so how could Chen Xueqin not understand?
But now she only has this network and influence.
"Where's Lin Ze?" he asked in surprise after scanning the list.
"Han Xiaoyi is here, will he come?" Chen Xueqin asked unexpectedly,
"You didn't know what happened to the Bai family before." Ling Hong asked,
"I know, the Bai family turned against the Han family, and Han Xiaobao broke a leg." Chen Xueqin said in detail,
"Lin Ze and Han Xiaoyi are also very likely to have severed contact." Ling Hong said,
"Really." A trace of surprise flashed across Chen Xueqin's eyes,
In her mind, anyone could escape from the Han family or betray the Han family, but it should be completely impossible for Lin Ze, right?
Why,
"I have no way of knowing the specific details, but Lin Ze no longer lives in the Han family." Ling Hong shook her head and said, "So, you'd better add his name."
"That's natural." Chen Xueqin smiled, "He and I have no deep hatred. On the contrary, I have always maintained a good relationship with him."
Seeing Chen Xueqin being so open-minded, Ling Hong nodded lightly,
"Sister Hong, let's stay here for the night. Let's have a good chat at night and then send Chengcheng to school together tomorrow," Chen Xueqin said,
"Well, I won't leave even if you drive me away." Ling Hong smiled,
After Chen Yifei left, Chen Xueqin's attitude towards Chengcheng became extremely good.
Maybe it was guilt and taking away the man who loved Chengcheng the most, or maybe it was to atone for Chen Yifei's sins. Chen Xueqin treated Chengcheng very well and regarded him as his godson.
"But I have to go out now." Ling Hong smiled and said,
"Where to go."
"Go to Lin's house."
Ling Hong was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's necessary."
…
In the car, Chen Xueqin gently opened the window and stared at the street scene outside the window with slightly distracted eyes.
Prosperous, full of life,
But she was so tired,
Every night in the dead of night, she felt doubly lonely, imagining how her brother felt when he was supporting the family alone.
When he knew that he was going to poison him to death, he must have been sad and extremely sad.
When he dragged his exhausted body to pave the way for himself, he must have been struggling.
But he finally persevered and built a luxurious team for himself, so that after he took over, he would have no worries at all.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips. The cold wind pouring in from the window made Chen Xueqin feel chilly. He tightened his collar. He glanced at the driver through the rearview mirror and asked softly: "Xiao Dao, who is my brother?" Not much better than me."
Chen Yifei was attentive to the driver and was also prepared for Chen Xueqin.
A qualified and loyal driver is extremely important to a high-ranking helmsman.
Xiaodao is Chen Yifei's full-time driver. He has been with Chen Yifei for many years. He is loyal and devoted.
Now, he is one of Chen Xueqin's confidants. Hearing Chen Xueqin ask this question, he couldn't help but speak half a beat slower than before: "Miss's ability also amazed me."
Chen Xueqin smiled and couldn't help but shook her head,
Asking such a question to the elders of the two dynasties was indeed suspected of making things difficult, so he couldn't help but change the subject and asked: "What kind of person is my brother?"
She just didn't want to let herself get caught up in longing for the past, so he wanted to find a topic to distract his thoughts.
"The perfect man." Xiaodao grinned and added, "The perfect boss."
Chen Xueqin fell into deep thought,
After an unknown amount of time, she raised her head slightly and said firmly: "I will work hard."
"Miss, we're here."
After driving for more than half an hour, the knife arrived at its destination.
"Um."
Chen Xueqin opened the car door and stood outside this luxurious and majestic villa. She paused for a moment before slowly walking inside.
Xiao Dao, on the other hand, drove the car to an open area, got out of the car, and meticulously wiped the dust on the car with the towel he had prepared.
For a former excellent racing driver, the car is the most precious thing in his life, so as long as he has time and conditions, he will wipe the dust off the car as if he were treating his lover.
"Crack."
As soon as Chen Xueqin entered the door, she bumped into a man who came out of the security room without any warning.
Her body was thin and she staggered back due to the powerful impact.
"careful."
The man stretched out a hand, gently held her wrist, and said slightly apologetically: "Sorry, I didn't bump into you."
Chen Xueqinfu, who hadn't been touched by a man for a long time, was held by his wrist, and a surge of unknown anger arose in his heart. As soon as he regained his balance, he suddenly pulled out a slap and hit the man on the face.
snap,
A louder voice sounded than before,
The man's face was slightly red from being slapped, but he still had a faint smile on his face. He didn't mind at all and just stared at the sullen Chen Xueqin calmly.
After being slapped, Chen Xueqin felt a little regretful,
And when she was slapped hard on the other person's face, she felt even more embarrassed.
She was not bullying, she simply overreacted when a strange man suddenly held her wrist.
Looking at the man's quick reaction to grab his wrist, he thought it would be easy to stop him from being slapped.
But who would have expected that he didn't react at all, just let a slap hit him on the face,
Feeling guilty, Chen Xueqin's eyes showed concern, and she said softly: "Why don't you block it."
