Under the sun, Chu Fang lay asleep.
Chu Yi shoved him: "Brother, what do you think of Fei Jie?"
He slowly opened his eyes: "You can still call me Chu Lao Er, it'll put my mind at ease."
"Chu Lao Er".
Chu Fang: "..."
I was just kidding, you really call me that.
Meeting his younger sister's eager gaze, Chu Fang lazily replied, "I don't know."
Chu Yi massaged his shoulders: "You should at least give me an answer. What do you mean by not knowing?"
"Does that mean you and your parents have the same idea?"
"Where exactly does Fei Jie fall short?"
“He has a higher academic qualification than you and is a genius in the field of mathematics. You yourself got into a 211 university and you are still criticizing Fei Jie.”
Chu Fang replied, "I have money."
Chu remained silent.
These few words are enough to overshadow any argument.
She pounded her shoulder hard: "I don't care, I just like Fei Jie, and I'm convinced that he's the man of my future."
"Whether you agree or not, it's settled."
"At worst, you can take the main road, and I'll take the single-plank bridge."
Chu Fang rubbed his shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Can you please not be so emotional?"
"No!" Chu Yi's eyes reddened, and her voice rose several octaves. "You've all changed. You've all changed. You've become people I don't recognize, people who are obsessed with money."
"If that's the case, then I'll go."
After saying that, Chu Yi turned around, started the car, and drove straight away from the villa.
Chu Fang sat in the chair, watching his younger sister's departing figure without trying to stop her or bring her back.
"Huh? Why did Yiyi leave?" Zhong Tingyue came out and said.
Chu Fang then told his wife about their conversation. After listening, she pursed her lips and fell into thought.
"Yiyi is still as emotional as before."
"Let her be." Chu Fang lay down again.
"What does Mr. Chu think?" Zhong Tingyue walked to his side, rubbing her husband's temples to calm him down.
She could sense that her husband's emotions were not as calm as they appeared; on the contrary, they were turbulent.
Although Chu Yi was only his cousin, Chu Fang truly treated her like his own sister.
"I don't know," Chu Fang replied.
"Why don't you still know?"
"I've only met Fei Jie once, what do I know? Can I judge whether someone is suitable based on just one or two sentences?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Tingyue kissed her husband's forehead.
Sometimes, Zhong Tingyue felt sorry for her husband. He usually seemed lazy and idle, but as his wife, she knew exactly what he was thinking.
Chu Fang is not only a husband, but also the father of two children and the pillar of the entire Chu family. He needs to understand and mediate in all aspects.
Chu Fang looked at the sun in the sky and sighed.
... ...
As dusk falls, the setting sun paints half the sky red.
After dinner, Chu Fang put his hands behind his back and slowly went for a walk outside, with Chu Zhi following beside him.
The father and son, dressed in slippers, were leisurely strolling around, looking as if they were cut from the same mold.
Especially Chu Zhiye, despite his young age, possesses a maturity beyond his years.
"Sigh!" Chu Fang sighed.
"well!"
He lowered his head: "You're copying me, kid."
Chu Zhiye: "I didn't."
"Then why are you sighing?"
"The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is near dusk. I feel the thoughts of Li Shangyin, time and life, life and ideals, beauty and regret."
Chu Fang: "..."
Sometimes he felt like he was the son, and Chu Zhi was the father.
"Brother Chu is taking a stroll."
Just then, a group of people walked over from the right. At the front was a middle-aged man in casual clothes, Chu Fang's next-door neighbor, 'Brother Ai'.
"Brother Ai," Chu Fang smiled, "Let's take a walk for a while."
"Perfect timing, let's do it together."
Chu Fang looked at the group of people behind Brother Ai, who waved his hand and said, "Hey, we're bored anyway, let's all take a walk together."
Chu Fang and Brother Ai walked side by side, Chu Zhi walked alone in the middle, and at the back were the group of subordinates of Brother Ai's company.
The employees looked at each other in bewilderment.
They had never seen their chairman so gentle, and the person they were talking to was such a young man.
Most importantly, Chu Fang and Ai Ge were not at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.
They watched as Chu Fang and the chairman chatted amiably ahead, the chairman beaming with a smile.
They thought to themselves, "Impressive!"
"It's such a pity that I met Brother Chu so late in life. I've missed out on so much fun," Brother Ai said with emotion.
“I’ve provided you with so much emotional value, so you have to pay me.” Chu Fang said seriously, “Give me more, give me less, give me whatever you want.”
The two walked side by side, strolling along the street.
"It's only when I chat with Brother Chu that I can have such a good time. Usually, it seems like everyone is afraid of me. I'm like the King of Hell," Brother Ai said with emotion.
He truly understood the meaning of the saying, "The higher you climb, the colder it gets."
Whether at work or at home, everyone should respect him.
“Brother Ai, I like to tell the truth. You’re just plain despicable.” Chu Fang rolled his eyes. “If someone challenges your authority, you get upset.”
Upon hearing this, Ai Ge immediately laughed and said, "I don't agree. I'm quite approachable."
Chu Fang gestured for Ai Ge to turn around, and the latter did so. The group of subordinates immediately held their breath, tense and on edge.
"Sigh, am I really that scary?"
"It's not scary." Chu Zhi also tilted his head back.
Brother Ai was overjoyed and picked up Chu Zhiye; "Only you understand me best. If there's anything you like, Uncle Ai will buy it for you."
Ai Ge liked Chu Zhiye very much because the latter was not afraid of his imposing presence.
Afterwards, Ai Ge took Chu Zhi to a nearby shopping mall and bought a lot of books, building blocks, and various toys that children like.
The whole process cost a whopping five figures.
As night fell, Chu Fang and Chu Zhi returned home.
Upon returning home, Chu Jin saw the toys and immediately ran over. Chu Zhi also hid the toys behind her back, saying, "Uncle Ai bought these for me."
"You're so stingy!" Chu Jin said unhappily. "What's wrong with letting me play with it?"
"You can play with it."
"real?"
“However… …” Chu Zhi paused for two seconds, “You have to obey my orders.”
"Can."
Having received the toy, Chu Zhi also gave the order: "Chu Jin, give me a shoulder massage."
Chu Jin seemed not to hear her and turned to leave.
Chu Zhi also stayed where he was, his eyelids twitching slightly.
Ungrateful wretch, Chu Jin.
... ...
Chu Fang was nestled on the sofa watching TV when Zhong Tingyue asked, "It's almost nine o'clock, Mr. Chu, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Nowadays, Chu Fang goes to bed early, gets up early and goes to bed late, and has a regular life.
"Wait a little longer."
"Waiting for whom?"
"Waiting for a beautiful woman to seduce me."
"cut!"
Just then, a bell rang outside the villa. Chu Fang immediately got up and went outside.
Under the moonlight, a man in a suit stood outside. When he saw Chu Fang come out, he handed him the documents in his hand: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Chu."
"It's nothing." Chu Fang took the document and waved his hand.
He then handed a paper ticket to the man in the suit, which clearly stated that the amount was 500,000 yuan.
Entering the villa and returning to the living room, Chu Fang opened the document. It was a personal information file about Fei Jie, clearly listing Fei Jie's information: age, residence, origin, achievements and honors, personal character...
At the very bottom is a psychologist's opinion on Fei Jie.
Chu Fang examined the information carefully, not missing a single detail. After reading it, he closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
“No wonder you didn’t agree; you were investigating someone else’s identity.” Zhong Tingyue stretched out her swan-like neck.
“As I said, a few words are not enough to fully understand Fei Jie, so we naturally need to investigate,” Chu Fang said.
“The cunning and treacherous Mr. Chu.” A hint of disdain appeared on Zhong Tingyue’s delicate face.
"I call this knowing yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle."
Now that you've finished reading it, what are your thoughts?
"Let me think about it some more."
Zhong Tingyue went upstairs to sleep, while Chu Fang sat on the sofa, lost in thought, and only gradually went upstairs in the early hours of the morning.
