brother in law?

When did he get a brother-in-law?

Chen Lie didn't react for a moment, but it only took a moment for him to react.

There are probably no brothers in mainland China who are related to his girl by blood, if you must count...

Unless it’s the one who went to Hong Kong early.

"You know?" Zhang Dongsheng looked at his expression and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Are you investigating your wife?"

However, since the circumstances are special, there is nothing wrong with investigating this matter.

"Does your wife know that she has a half-brother?" Zhang Dongsheng became excited.

Chen Lie didn't answer, but simply asked, "That kid is only about fourteen or fifteen years old. What good can you get from ordering you around?"

Zhang Dongsheng played dumb: "What? What? I don't understand what you are saying."

Anyway, Chen Lie agreed to help him delay his old man, so he won't use this matter to threaten him again.

There is no pressure to play dumb now.

Chen Lie got what he wanted to know, but he didn't pursue the matter. He just looked at Zhang Dongsheng like he was a fool, and finally said, "That kid is stupid, are you stupid too?"

What?

Zhang Dongsheng didn't react for a moment and didn't quite understand what Chen Lie meant.

Chen Lie: "My family's situation is special. Where is that child from? Do you think the person he raised, even if it's just a nanny, can be placed in our house?"

Even if they send someone over here to train a local aunt, she won’t be useful.

Zhang Dongsheng: “…”

I was blinded by the benefits at that time. Besides, I knew that the land would be taken back sooner or later, and this man was Su Qinghu's blood relative, so I really forgot about it!

but,

Can he be so honest in front of Chen Lie?

"I know." Zhang Dongsheng insisted, "I didn't expect it to work, I just wanted to stop it..."

Yeah, yes, just a token of my appreciation.

Chen Lie attacked him directly, hit his stomach a few times, and then stepped back.

"Didn't you think it would work? Stop it?" Chen Lie's face turned cold. "My son is already born, what kind of stop are you trying to make?"

Zhang Dongsheng took it.

He was in the wrong this time.

"What benefits did he give you?" Chen Lie asked again.

Zhang Dongsheng didn't dare to lie anymore. "In the past two years, I've made a lot of money, so I just wanted to make more money. You know, I have a dance hall, and that business is really good, so I bought a few more places to open dance halls. But in this industry, everyone wants to get in on it now, and my current place is slightly overshadowed..."

After asking around, I found out that they modeled it after the one in Hong Kong.

Then he can't fall behind, right?

I went to find Old John and asked him to introduce me to some people there, and that’s how I came into contact with Lin Jiachu.

But Lin Jiachu didn't have anyone in this area, and besides, people didn't want to have anything to do with someone like him with a good background, so the matter ended there.

Later, within two months, things took a turn for the better.

The turning point was Chen Jiali.

This young man, who was not yet fourteen or fifteen years old, came to him, and he learned a lot of business techniques and skills. After a few interactions, they became familiar with each other.

To be honest, people with big families and big businesses are different. The experience he gained through suffering losses is just a little bit compared to those gained from actual combat.

Later, somehow, Lin Jiachu also invested in some of his business, and even found him a veteran who specialized in running nightclubs to guide him in running the business.

Wow, they really give useful information, and everything they say hits the point.

After getting to know her, I realized that although Lin Jiachu's business skills were rudimentary, he had the guidance of experts, his ex-husband's subordinates, and his good son Chen Jiali. After six months, he had accumulated quite a lot of assets, and some of them were even profitable...

Thinking of this, Zhang Dongsheng sighed.

A 14 or 15-year-old kid talks about investment and business with great knowledge. He's also a good student, with good grades, and speaks Chinese and foreign languages ​​fluently...

He glanced at Chen Lie sadly, and then thought of his grandfather urging him to get married. Zhang Dongsheng felt so sad that he wanted to cry.

Does he not want to get married? Does he not want children?

It’s because he can’t find the right person and the right child in his next life!

Thinking about Chen Jiali and Su Qinghu, then thinking about Chen Lie and his two adopted sons, and adding the gossip he heard from family and friends, Zhang Dongsheng felt even more sad.

I won't talk about the big ones, but what about the little Li Tuaner...

Well, although we can’t tell whether his brain is working well or not, he is good-looking, doesn’t cry or make a fuss, is a good kid, and looks smart.

Chen Lie frowned as he watched him act strangely. After he finished speaking, he spoke again, "Tell him not to interfere in our family affairs. It will be good for him and for us."

After all, he is still a child and lacks political acumen.

Zhang Dongsheng nodded. "Then I'll leave my old man in your care. He hasn't been in good physical and mental condition lately..."

Chen Lie just gave him a deep look and turned away.

This guy isn't telling the truth...

But Mr. Zhang’s health is indeed a concern.

As soon as Chen Lie left, Zhang Dongsheng instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

His old man has been feeling a little restless lately and hasn't been sleeping well, but as for any serious illness...I don't really have any.

He stretched himself, his face full of joy.

There is nothing more cost-effective than exchanging "not having to work" for "temporary peace and quiet".

As for my friend Chen Jiali—

If he really has an opinion, he can go talk to his brother-in-law. After all, it is their "family matter"...

Chen Lie left Zhang Dongsheng's place, thought for a while, and then went to the address on the list.

He got the list from Zhao Liangyan. It contained several candidates for aunties who could take care of children. Their family members had no criminal records or bad habits, had good character, good hygiene habits, simple family relationships, and were capable of taking care of children.

He had asked Zhao Liangyan to prepare these at the beginning of the year. Since his mother and great-aunt were present, he thought it might not be his turn to recommend a candidate for aunt, so he treated them as backup options and did not mention them to them.

Now, this alternative comes in handy.

====

It was already twelve o'clock in the evening when Chen Lie returned to the maternity ward.

There was some movement in the ward, so he just knocked on the door gently. Ms. Meng came over, saw that it was him, and opened the door directly.

"Are you home?" She looked him up and down, and seeing that he had changed his clothes and his hair seemed to have been washed, she asked.

Chen Lie came in and said, "Well, I went back and took a shower."

"Are you still awake?" he asked in a low voice, his eyes already looking inside.

Ms. Meng: "Li Tuan'er is awake. His diaper was just changed, and Xiao Su is feeding him now."

Chen Lie walked faster and reached out to lift the curtain. Before Su Qinghu could call him to stop, he was stopped by Ms. Meng, "Go wash your hands and face again."

From home to here, there must be bacteria on my hands and face!

Chen Lie paused, smiled, and turned to wash his hands.

After he finished washing, before he came out, Ms. Meng asked him to wash a hot towel.
