No matter when Yanjing is calm or when it is not very calm, the Mai family always maintains its original calm. The old lady also lives her simple and pure life very comfortably.
Her monotonous and stable life has lasted for decades, and it has never changed as her son grows up and gets older.
She hasn't changed, and her son hasn't changed either, except for one thing.
My son is getting married.
Married to a middle-aged woman who looks ordinary but exudes the air of a good wife and mother. Her family background is cleaner and innocent than the old woman imagined. Both her parents are professors at Yan University. She herself also teaches at Yan University. She has a typical scholarly atmosphere.
Family status. To be honest, the old woman never thought that her son would marry such an ordinary woman. Because in her heart, her son is the best man in the world. No matter what kind of woman, he deserves to have her.
But seeing the man and woman sitting at the dining table eating calmly and calmly, serving each other food, the old woman felt a little bit of the warmth of home.
That’s fine.
No matter who the woman is, as long as she is not a bad person, she is worthy of her son. As long as she is good to her son.
After dinner, the old lady who wanted to watch the moon and drink tea in the backyard welcomed a guest.
"I heard that Brother Zhicheng sent his girlfriend home."
Ye Mingzhu smiled happily when he entered the house. He grabbed the old woman's hand and said with a smile, "Hong Ma, I want to ask you for a big red envelope this time."
The old woman smiled from ear to ear, nodded vigorously and said, "Absolutely. When your brother Zhicheng gets married, Mother Hong will definitely give you the biggest red envelope."
"Don't break your promise." Ye Mingzhu chatted with the old woman for a while and then asked, "Brother Zhicheng and sister-in-law have returned to the room?"
"Ye Mingzhu, you are here. How could I not see you behind closed doors?" Mai Zhicheng smiled and came to the living room. Next to him was a woman who was about the same size as Ye Mingzhu. Her appearance and temperament were incomparable to hers.
Ye Mingzhu glanced at the woman, then fixed his gaze on Mai Zhicheng's face. He smiled and said, "My sister-in-law has such a good temperament. She will definitely be a good wife and mother in the future."
"Are you making insinuations and saying that your sister-in-law is not good-looking?" Mai Zhicheng asked jokingly.
"How is that possible?" Ye Mingzhu shook his head quickly and joked. "How can Brother Zhicheng's vision be understood by ordinary people like us? I firmly believe that my sister-in-law must have something extraordinary."
Mai Zhicheng smiled, and did not deliberately embarrass Ye Mingzhu. He smiled and said: "You are here late at night, you shouldn't be here just to see your sister-in-law, right?"
Ye Mingzhu said with a smile: "Of course I have something to ask Brother Zhicheng."
Mai Zhicheng nodded. The woman beside him sensibly helped the servant go to the kitchen to clean up the dishes. He led Ye Mingzhu back to his study. He personally poured a full cup of Pu'er for Ye Mingzhu and dropped it on Ye Mingzhu.
The person on the other side said, "Come on. What do you want from me?"
"Brother Zhicheng, have you heard about what happened in Yanjing recently?" Ye Mingzhu suddenly lowered his voice and asked mysteriously.
"I've heard a little bit about it." Mai Zhicheng smiled and nodded. "What, what do you have in mind?"
Ye Mingzhu said angrily: "What ideas are there? He has to do something now. Naturally, I can't just sit back and watch."
"But you have to know that the other person is not an ordinary person." Mai Zhicheng said.
"Brother Zhicheng, do you think Chu He is an ordinary person?" Ye Mingzhu asked back.
"How can a man who gets your permission be an ordinary person?" Mai Zhicheng laughed.
"Then Brother Zhicheng, please give me a letter. Where are you standing?" Ye Mingzhu asked.
Which side do you stand on?
This is to force Mai Zhicheng to take sides.
But for Mai Zhicheng, does it matter where you stand?
Or, is it useful?
Shang Tianya is dead. On the surface, it seems that the business foundation is still there. But who doesn’t know that Shang Suxin has already aroused public anger. Now Mr. Shang has no power to speak. Who will help such a person who has lost the support of the people?
Guy?
For Mai Zhicheng, no matter which side he stands on, it will have no effect on the upcoming war.
But Ye Mingzhu had to make him make a choice.
Mai Zhicheng smiled and said, "Whichever side you choose, Ye Zi, I will choose the side with you."
"Does that mean you support Chu He?" Ye Mingzhu asked with a smile.
"Yeah." Mai Zhicheng nodded.
"I knew Brother Zhicheng was the best." Ye Mingzhu smiled delicately. How could he be like a poisonous widow? She was just like a coquettish little girl.
The two chatted for a while. Ye Mingzhu left because it was too late and did not disturb the private space of the couple.
But when the woman who had cleaned up the housework returned to the room, she found that Mai Zhicheng's expression was not quite right, even a little gloomy.
"What's wrong with you?" The woman sat next to Mai Zhicheng and asked with concern on her face.
"It's okay." Mai Zhicheng shook his head and put a smile on his face again. "Are you tired?"
"I'm not tired." The woman gently held Mai Zhicheng's hand and said with a hint of joy in her eyes. "Auntie just forcibly gave me a red envelope. I can't refuse."
"Since it was given by my mother, just accept it." Mai Zhicheng rubbed his eyebrows and smiled. "Go take a shower quickly. I still have a few documents to deal with."
"Well, don't work too late."
The woman took her clothes and entered the bathroom.
Mai Zhicheng lives in a suite. The study, bedroom and bathroom are all together. However, considering the area, it is not small. They will not affect each other.
As soon as the woman entered the bathroom, a man covered in pitch black appeared next to Mai Zhicheng. His expression was slightly cold, and his eyes contained a cold aura. Before Mai Zhicheng could speak, he said aloud: "Cross the Chu River again.
I’ll be back in two days.”
"I know." Mai Zhicheng said calmly. "Besides, don't come out in situations like this in the future."
His tone was very calm. But the man in black looked slightly stunned, nodded and said: "Understood."
"What do you want to do?" Mai Zhicheng asked.
Normally, this subordinate who has been following him for many years would not appear easily without summoning him. This is the Mai family after all. It is the place where his mother lives. He does not want this man in black to accidentally scare his mother. Even if he is quite capable of hiding the man in black.
I have confidence, but nothing is absolute. But Mai Zhicheng's love for his mother is eternal.
"Shang Suxin is already a powerful person at the peak of the sky." The man in black said extremely seriously.
"I know." Mai Zhicheng said.
"Both Chu He and Shang Suxin are possessed by demons. But after all, Shang Suxin's talent is stronger," the man in black said. "Shang Suxin may not lose to Chu He."
"Do you want revenge?" Mai Zhicheng asked calmly.
"I want to." The man in black replied extremely honestly.
"You underestimate Chu He." Mai Zhicheng shook his head lightly. "Perhaps Shang Suxin's talent is indeed extremely high. And because of being possessed by the devil, his strength has also been greatly improved in a short period of time. But compared to Chu He, he Something is missing."
"What?" the man in black asked in confusion.
"Practical combat experience." Mai Zhicheng said word by word. "There are many strong men in this world who have the ability to kill enemies. It's not because their talents are better than others. It's because they have more practical combat experience than their opponents. More What’s more, it’s because their New Year’s Eve is better than others.”
The man in black seemed to understand, shook his head and said: "I still don't think Chu He can win."
"Frankly speaking, I hope what you said is right," Mai Zhicheng said. "If Chuhe wins too easily, then this matter will be meaningless."
The man in black was slightly startled. Then he stared at Mai Zhicheng intriguingly and asked in a very strange way: "Did you kill President Aos?"
Mai Zhicheng pursed his lips slightly, glanced at him sideways and said, "Do you think Shang Suxin can kill Aos at the same time when facing several powerful men who break the sky?"
The man in black exhaled heavily, shook his head and said, "No."
"I finished washing——"
Click.
The bathroom door suddenly opened.
The woman wearing a bathrobe and wiping her hair slowly opened the door and appeared in front of Mai Zhicheng and the man in black.
In just a moment, the man in black showed his murderous intent. His body also showed signs of leaning forward. It seemed that with just one breath, he would kill the woman standing at the door of the room.
In fact, if the woman in front of him had not been brought back by Mai Zhicheng himself, she might have turned into a corpse at this moment.
He was waiting for Mai Zhicheng's reaction.
As long as he expresses his stance, the man in black will do something for him that he doesn't want to do.
But after a long, long time, Mai Zhicheng did not say what the man in black wanted to hear. Instead -
"You go back first."
The man in black listened to this sentence in astonishment, not knowing why.
