The Chen family slapped the Yan family, and the Yan family could only smile in pain. In a sense, this proved that the Chen family was still superior to the Yan family.
At least for now!
It's just that... everyone knows very well that all this can only be attributed to the old man who is nearly over 100 years old.
Without the old man, the game between the two families would be a battle between dragons and tigers at best, and it would be impossible to determine the winner in a real sense, because... the current situation requires a delicate balance. Small balances can be broken, but... big balances
It cannot be broken. This is very clear to the Chen and Yan families.
Chen Ning's refusal to marry has caused a crack in the delicate balance.
Although Old Mrs. Chen and Chen Jianguo did not blame themselves, Chen Ning could still see the deep worry in Chen Jianguo's eyes. She was not stupid. She knew that Chen Jianguo was worried that Mr. Chen would let go and return to the West, and the Chen family would face the first time in decades.
A challenge and crisis.
But...she doesn't regret it!
Even when she returned home and faced her father, a general, she still raised her head stubbornly.
Chen Yongle, who is now over forty and serves as a powerful figure in a large military region, looked at his stubborn daughter and couldn't help but sigh softly: "Well, what happened has happened, and it will be in vain for me to say anything to you.
It’s just...sigh..."
"Dad, I am willing to accept any punishment, including being kicked out of the Chen family!" Chen Ning gritted his teeth and said with a firm expression.
Chen Yongle laughed at himself: "Although you have gone too far, since the old man has acquiesced, no one dares to blame you, including your grandfather. But that boy Chen Fan, well, let's not mention him!"
"Brother Xiaofan, what's wrong with him?" Chen Ning looked nervous when he heard Chen Fan and his wife.
"You will see it yourself in the future, but if I tell you now, you won't believe it." Chen Yongle hesitated for a moment and did not reveal his feelings to Chen Ning, because he knew that if he said those words, it would be very harmful to Chen Ning.
It had a great impact on Chen Ning’s life.
At the same time, there was another small home of the Chen family.
Chen Fei, who is now at the department level and the top leader in Suzhou City, sat in the hall with a look of jealousy on his face. He looked at the slightly bald middle-aged man opposite him and said angrily: "Dad, I just don't understand. That Chen Fan
, apart from causing trouble and smearing the family all day long, he did nothing that was beneficial to the Chen family. Why did the old man keep protecting him like his beloved? Also, Chen Ning, that girl had a seizure, or what?
To actually say something like that."
At the end, Chen Fei looked even more depressed and couldn't help but light a cigarette.
"Xiao Fei, don't be distracted by these things. Just be yourself." Chen Fei's father, Chen Yongrui, said solemnly: "This morning, Li Yunfeng, the top leader of the NJ Military Region, stood in front of the big guys in the military.
Now, what do you think about proposing marriage to your grandfather, saying that he wants to marry his eldest granddaughter Li Ying to you?"
"Li Ying?" Chen Fei's eyes lit up. Obviously, Chen Fei, who had been hanging out in Jiangsu, was no stranger to Li Ying. On the contrary, he had met her before.
"It seems that you are interested?" Chen Yongrui smiled and said: "The Li family of nj can also be regarded as a military family. Li Yunfeng dominates the military region and has a good relationship with other military bosses. He can be regarded as the real power in the military. So.
First of all, Li Yunfeng's granddaughter is a good match for you. In terms of beauty, Li Ying once worked in the entertainment industry and was named the Queen of Asia.
circle, and now runs her own entertainment company, her status is not worthy of yours, and it may have a certain impact on your future career. However, these are minor problems. As long as you are willing, let her join the Military and Chinese Art Troupe when the time comes.
With our prestige and that of the Li family, it won’t be difficult to become a major general in a few years.”
"I once heard that he was in love with Xue Qiang from the Xue family in the south." In a sense, Chen Fei was quite satisfied with Li Ying. He even got Li Ying into bed a few years ago.
The idea was only given up when he learned about Li Ying's background and her affair with Xue Qiang.
"Dislike her?" Chen Yongrui hit the nail on the head.
Chen Fei did not hide it, but nodded simply: "It would be better if she was clean. If she is touched by Xue Qiang, I really despise her."
"Xiao Fei, those who want to do big things must not stick to trivial matters!" Chen Yongrui's tone suddenly became serious: "Among the third generation members of the Chen family, it is not difficult for me to survive for a few more years and reach the deputy national level.
When the time comes, I will definitely be the third generation head of the family."
Chen Fei's eyelids twitched and he didn't dare to speak.
"But... you also know that my relationship with your two uncles who are in the military is not very harmonious. Even if I become the third generation head of the Chen family, they probably won't be too supportive of me." Chen Yongrui's eyes flickered.
With a shrewd light: "And our Chen family has risen by relying on the influence of the military. If we don't have any people from the military, this is definitely not a good thing."
"It seems that father wants me to agree to this marriage?" Chen Fei was not stupid, he immediately understood what Chen Yongrui meant.
Chen Yongrui nodded simply: "That's right! As long as you marry that girl Li Ying, we will have military strength in our hands. When the time comes, after I abdicate, it will be a matter of course for you to take over the Chen family."
"Father, please don't worry, I understand what to do." Chen Fei pondered for a few seconds before giving a reply.
Hearing Chen Fei's words, Chen Yongrui smiled happily, then narrowed his eyes and said mockingly: "Fei'er, when you are doing things, you have to take a long-term view. There is no need to fight for a moment of loyalty."
"How was Chen Zhan back then? He was so highly regarded by the old man and had great influence in the army, but in the end he became a waste of the Chen family. He was a waste, and his son was not much better. Although, that little brat was very powerful in some fields.
, but personal force is limited after all. What’s more, that little brat, like his father, is a person who values love and justice. This is his biggest weakness. It is impossible for such a person to achieve great things!"
"As for the old man doting on him, it doesn't matter. It's just like the concubines in ancient times. The emperor is favored when he is in power. When the emperor dies, he will be the first to suffer!"
As soon as Chen Yongrui said these words, Chen Fei's eyes lit up, and the resentment in his heart suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this scene, Chen Yongrui smiled, and then his expression became ruthless: "Xiao Fei, you always remember that when someone achieves great things, I would rather let the world betray me than let the world betray me. At the critical moment, the closest relatives can be the best."
kill!"
"Thank you father for your teaching." Chen Fei stood up and bowed respectfully.
…
Compared with the dry cold in Yanjing, the temperature in the East China Sea is much higher, but the wet cooling is still uncomfortable, and it is cold to the bones.
At six o'clock in the evening on the first day of the new year, a stretched Lincoln arrived at the door of the largest villa in Golf County.
Soon, the iron door of the villa opened, the car drove in, and arrived at the parking lot with ease.
The car stopped, and Yang Yuan, who was wearing an Armani suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses as usual, holding a briefcase under his arm, walked towards the main building of the villa in a hurry.
In the lobby of the main building, Huangfu Hongzhu and Chu Ge, who had learned that Yang Yuan was coming, had been waiting for a long time.
Different from usual, today Huangfu Hongzhu is not wearing her beloved black cloak, but is wearing a white woolen sweater, a knee-length plaid skirt, black cotton trousers, and she will
Her long hair is spread out and draped casually on her shoulders. At first glance, she looks like a housewife.
The premise is that you don't look at her narrow phoenix eyes!
Even during the festival, the gaze of those eyes is mixed with a cold feeling, which makes you feel intimidated.
"Brother Yang, you came on time." Seeing Yang Yuan step into the villa, Chu Ge, who was wearing a black sweater, jeans and cotton slippers, joked: "It's just that you came to have a meal and didn't bring a gift. Why do you take it?"
Briefcase?"
"Xiao Ge." Upon hearing Chu Ge's joke, Huangfu Hongzhu deliberately made a serious face and shouted coldly.
However... facing Huangfu Hongzhu, who was attracted by everyone and feared by everyone, Chu Ge didn't have the slightest fear. On the contrary, he cut his throat disapprovingly.
For this reason, Huangfu Hongzhu couldn't laugh or cry.
At the same time, she was also a little curious. Yang Yuan today seemed different from previous years.
Including when Chu Wentian was alive, Yang Yuan would come to this villa for dinner every New Year's Eve, but...he would bring more or less gifts every time he came. Each time the gifts were not too expensive, but they were very troublesome.
Yang Yuan spent a lot of effort to get it.
As Chu Ge said, Yang Yuan didn’t bring any gifts this year, and it was indeed a bit weird to hold a briefcase. For this reason, Huangfu Hongzhu thought for a moment and couldn’t help asking: "Yang Yuan, is there an emergency in the group?"
?”
"Yeah." Yang Yuan nodded first, then shook his head: "It's not the group, it's Mr. Chen."
Mr. Chen?
As soon as these three words were spoken, not only Huangfu Hongzhu, but also Chu Ge, who was playing with his tablet computer, suddenly changed his expression!
"What's wrong with him?"
"What's wrong, Brother Chen?"
The two of them spoke one after another, their worried expressions unable to be concealed.
"Miss Huangfu, your phone has not been turned on. I don't know, but a big event happened in Yanjing today, related to Mr. Chen." Seeing Huangfu Hongzhu and Chu Ge's anxious faces, Yang Yuan did not dare to show off, and said quickly: "
In the morning..."
Then, with Huangfu Hongzhu and Chu Ge looking very attentive, Yang Yuan quickly told what happened.
"Damn, Brother Chen is really awesome!" After listening to Yang Yuan's narration, Chu Ge looked shocked, and then he was ecstatic: "The descendants of the founding fathers, what the hell is this concept? Damn it, who will do it in the future?
If you dare to compete with me, I will show you Brother Chen, the third generation of celebrities, the second generation of officials, and the second generation of rich people, all of them will give me a break!"
Compared with the ecstatic Chu Ge, Huangfu Hongzhu, who has a reputation as a beauty and snake, was also shocked by Chen Fan's status in the Chen family - she guessed that Chen Fan might be from the Chen family in the capital, but
...But I didn’t guess that Chen Fan’s status in the Chen family was so transcendent!
However, after the shock, she was inevitably a little worried about Chen Fan. In her opinion, it was a blessing that Chen Fan became famous in Yanjing this time because of the joint efforts of Mrs. Chen and Chen Ning, and it caused such a big disturbance.
