She came from the future and had seen too many elderly people being scammed out of their houses and pensions when she was a police officer; it was commonplace for her.
But of course, we should always try to put ourselves in other people's shoes.
Not to mention that Nie Rong is already so old, even if it were Chen Ke, if he dumped Li Xia and found another wife, Chen Rou would be like a rocket, jumping three feet high. Nie Zhao would be even more so.
For him, his father making the news for his womanizing was more humiliating than Nie Jiayu and Nie Jiajun being caught going to nightclubs for pleasure. He was afraid that people would laugh at him and talk about him behind his back, and his self-esteem couldn't take it.
But that's his own father! There was a driver and bodyguard in the car too. How could he possibly complain?
Chen Rou suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh right, I bought you some tea. I heard it has a fragrance of osmanthus."
Nie Zhao, being a wealthy and worldly man, said, "Let's go with Phoenix Express. I've bought a few pounds of it before and gave them to the governor."
Song Yuanchao noticed a key point: "How much did you pay when you took the picture?"
Nie Zhao said, "Secretary An went, it should only cost tens of thousands of yuan."
Song Yuanchao said with a smile, "Our Miss Chen only spent a few hundred yuan to buy two jin."
Tea must be of high quality. Upon hearing this, Nie Zhao naturally had to check the tea first. Just then, they arrived home. Song Yuanchao took the tea out of the trunk and delivered it to the boss's study.
Nie Rong had just arrived; his legs were sore, and he had been working hard all day, so he sat down on the sofa to rest.
And so he had to poke at Nie Zhao's sore spot again: "By the way, Ah Sheng, we didn't say goodbye to Ah Yao before we left."
Liang Lisheng secretly guessed that Nie Zhao might not know about Nie Yao's matter, so he quickly coughed and winked.
Nie Rong, on the contrary, adopted a defiant and reckless attitude: "How could I have forgotten?"
Seeing him like this, Liang Lisheng couldn't sit still any longer and said, "Brother, I'm tired too. I'll go home and rest first."
It was a roundabout way of saying that, so she added, "At your age, the greatest blessing is for your children and grandchildren to be safe and sound. Don't overthink things, don't let your imagination run wild, and just get some rest!"
There's only one reason why he didn't think of Nie Yao when he left.
He was completely captivated by the beautiful female boss who sold tea, but Liang Lisheng was too embarrassed to admit it.
Fortunately, Song Yuanchao was quick-witted and threw away the business card, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Chen Rou and Nie Zhao were in the study at the moment. As was the tacit understanding in the richest family, Nie Zhao would not go in as long as Nie Rong was in the living room.
Whenever Nie Rong ate at the table, Nie Zhao's food had to be placed on the rooftop.
He had just opened the tea package and asked Song Yuanchao to fetch a pot of hot water and bring his tea set upstairs so he could brew some tea. However, he had also overheard Nie Rong and Liang Lisheng's conversation.
As for Nie Yao's affairs on the mainland, the mainland military considered it a pleasant surprise and deliberately kept it a secret, so even Nie Zhao didn't know until this moment.
Goodness, Dad got a lot done in a short trip to the mainland.
Not only did she almost find him a stepmother, she even met with Nie Yao?
Chen Rou noticed his unhappiness and carefully said, "Our Second Master only met with the Old Master privately, and they didn't have a deep conversation. Moreover, as you know, he has a deep-seated prejudice against the Old Master."
As things stand, it's impossible for Nie Yao to seize power or fight for property now.
Even if he returned to Hong Kong and published articles in newspapers and appeared on television to accuse Nie Zhao, it would be useless. In the struggle between brothers over money and power, Nie Zhao had completely trampled Nie Yao underfoot and no longer cared about him.
In contrast, he was more interested in the rice candy Chen Rou had bought, and opened the package to take one out: "Did you buy this too?"
Chen Rou was about to say yes, but then changed her mind and said, "It's Uncle Liang. He said you like to eat this."
Nie Zhao clearly saw that she herself said he liked to eat it, so she bought it for him. Moreover, there should be another portion, which will be brought back to him by Secretary An, who will return later tomorrow morning, simply because she thinks the rice puffs are fresher in the morning.
But the reason why Chen Rou has the ability to make everyone who comes into contact with her fall head over heels in love with her is because she always likes to extend olive branches to people in many unintentional little details.
Oh, and she also bought some pastries from mainland China, which, of course, will come in handy.
Nie Jiajun is studying in Singapore and is not at home.
But Nie Jiayu had just come home from school, glanced at his grandfather in the living room, and immediately went straight to the study.
But his uncle wasn't in the study, so he went upstairs. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he said, "It smells so good, is it the smell of tea?"
Nie Zhao's tea-making skills were learned in the business world after he returned to Hong Kong in the past two years.
He didn't particularly like drinking tea, and his tea set wasn't very fancy. However, the tea that Chen Rou bought was originally intended by the Guo brothers to lure Nie Rong, so it was of course top-quality tea, and any cup of it would be delicious. But now, it had been enjoyed by his descendants. Nie Zhao had just drunk a cup and sincerely praised it: "It is indeed good tea."
He also poured a cup for Nie Jiayu and taught him: "Smell the aroma first, then taste the tea. Since it is said that the aroma lingers on the palate, you should savor it on the tip of your tongue so that the aroma of the tea can be fully released."
Nie Jiayu, being a member of the new generation, had no patience for sipping tea. Instead, he picked up a pastry, took a bite with his tea, and nodded: "This is fermented bean curd cake, right? It's delicious with tea, so fragrant."
Chen Rou smiled and said, "You really do love fermented bean curd cakes. Your uncle told me about it, and he specifically asked me to buy them for you. I didn't believe you liked them at first, but now it seems your uncle knows you quite well."
Nie Jiayu held half a pancake and looked back at Nie Zhao. The child was shy: "Uncle actually knew I like fermented bean curd pancakes?"
