Chapter 568: Exposing Chen Ning, the Chen family is shocked and angry
"Second brother, why aren't you talking tonight? Why do you seem so worried?"
During dinner, Xiao Ying and his family were talking and laughing.
Chen Xingyun and the others already knew that she had successfully refined the Foundation Establishment Pill, and they were all excited.
Only Chen Xinghe was unusually silent. He even held the chopsticks upside down and poked at the rice, but didn't feed it into his mouth.
So much so that it soon attracted Chen Xingyun's attention.
After hearing what she said, the others also looked at Chen Xinghe and found that something was wrong with him.
Xiao Ying was quite curious. Xinghe never hid things from them, and this was the first time he saw him like this.
"Xinghe, what happened? Is it about the steam engine?"
Apart from this, she really couldn't think of anything else.
Chen Xinghe suddenly came back to his senses, his expression complicated. He wanted to say something several times but stopped himself and just shook his head.
Seeing him like this, everyone became even more curious.
Chen Xingyue jokingly said, "Could it be that Second Brother has a girl he likes?"
Chen Xinghe is fourteen years old this year. Because of his practice, he is much taller than his peers.
He is handsome and has an extraordinary temperament. Girls always turn their heads when he walks on the street.
If a girl confessed her love to him in public, no one would be surprised at all.
"Xingyue, don't talk nonsense."
Chen Xinghe looked at Chen Xingyue speechlessly. How could he have the time to think about these things?
"Then what's wrong with you?" Chen Xinghai also asked, "Tell us what's wrong with you, and we can help you solve it together."
Chen Xinghe looked at his elder brother, then his gaze fell on Chen Xingyun and Chen Xingyue in turn, and finally looked at Xiao Ying.
"I...I discovered a secret, but I don't know whether I should tell it."
Such a cruel and ruthless man deserves to be cut into pieces.
But the other party is his biological father after all. If he tells it out, he will really die.
This matter made him very conflicted and he didn't know what to do.
Now that his family has discovered something strange, perhaps he should confess.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ying and the others stopped smiling and became serious.
"A secret is no longer a secret when you discover it."
Xiao Ying's gentle tone calmed Chen Xinghe's thoughts a lot.
"Speak out, so you don't have to bear it alone."
Chen Xinghe took a deep breath. Yes, with his mother's power, she would know about this sooner or later.
Rather than being blamed for covering up for that kind of person then, it’s better to speak out now so you don’t have to bear the pressure anymore.
"Mom, big brother, big sister, little sister."
He glanced at everyone in turn and finally made up his mind.
"This matter is of great importance and it also concerns my grandparents, so I hope they can listen to it together."
Xiao Ying's heart was moved. It was actually related to the Chen family? What did Xinghe discover?
Chen Xinghai and his friends became more and more curious, so Chen Xingyue volunteered to invite Chen Afu's family.
At this point, the Chen family should have finished their dinner.
When the Chen family came over, Xiao Ying and others had already gone to the main hall.
Zhou Lihua was a little unhappy about being called over so late, but seeing how formal it was, she shrank her neck and didn't dare to say anything.
"Yingying, Xingyue said you asked us to come over for something important. What is it?"
After everyone sat down, Zhang Yuxiu asked in confusion.
The Chen family came in full force, from the old couple Chen Afu to the youngest Chen Qinglian, all of them had solemn expressions.
Xiao Ying said, "It's not me who wants to talk to you about something. It's Xinghe. He said he discovered a secret that concerns the entire Chen family, and he hopes you will come and listen."
"Xinghe?" Chen Tong was curious: "Xinghe, what secret did you discover?"
Is there something important that needs to be discussed so late at night?
This incident made everyone realize that something was unusual.
"Xinghe, just tell me what's the matter." Xiao Ying also wanted to know.
Chen Xinghe was mentally prepared, and the first thing he said was a bombshell.
"I discovered my father wasn't dead."
"Not only is he alive, but he's also become a high-ranking official."
"boom!"
At that moment, everyone was stunned as if they had been struck by thunder. Even Xiao Ying was stunned.
Is Xinghe talking about that Chen Enke?
The cheap husband who died on the way to the exam eleven years ago?
He didn't die? What happened?
Xiao Ying was able to remain calm. After all, he had no impression of Chen Enke and was just full of doubts.
The entire Chen family was in an uproar. After a brief moment of shock and confusion, they exclaimed in disbelief.
"Xinghe, what did you say?"
"You, are you telling the truth? Is your father really not dead and has become a high-ranking official?"
"Xinghe, you can't say that. Are you sure you understand it?"
"If your father is not dead and has become a high-ranking official, why hasn't he come back all these years?"
"Chen Enke? I told you it was Chen Enke I saw that day, but you refused to believe me!"
The last sentence was spoken by Zhou Lihua. She stood up excitedly and pleaded for justice.
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on her, and they became more and more confused.
"Lihua, you also met your second brother?"
Zhang Yuxiu opened her eyes wide. Why had she never mentioned this before?
Zhou Lihua immediately recounted what happened that day, and finally complained that Chen Tong didn't believe her.
Chen Tong felt regretful and embarrassed. How did he know that what Zhou Lihua said was true?
In his heart, his second brother couldn't be that kind of person.
Since two people confirmed it, Chen Afu's family had to believe it even if they didn't want to. However, they felt more doubtful and angry.
"You said he has married another woman? How dare he, how dare he?"
Zhang Yuxiu was shocked and angry. She looked at Xiao Ying cautiously and couldn't help feeling heartbroken.
Although Yingying is not the same person she used to be, she has also contributed a lot to their Chen family.
She felt it was not worth it for her and also felt guilty for Xiao Ying's past.
The others were also filled with gloom, and they could not believe that Chen Enke was such a person.
Chen Enke is not only the pride of their Chen family, but also the pride of the entire Chenjia Village.
When he went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, the villagers pooled their money and sent him ten miles away.
Who is he being fair to by doing this?
Chen Xinghe sneered, "Saying he's marrying her is too flattering. He's clearly just trying to climb up the social ladder and marry into the Qi family."
"He was ranked second in the imperial examination that year, and that's why he was favored by the Qi family."
"For the sake of a smooth official career and wealth and glory, he actually abandoned his wife and even his parents."
"He deliberately fabricated a story about his death on the way to the imperial examination and changed his name to Chen Ning to conceal the truth."
"These past eleven years have been just as he expected. He's been rising rapidly. With the support of his father-in-law, the Minister of Revenue, he's now a fourth-rank prefect in the nearby Lingzhou."
Hearing this, everyone was furious, their eyes red.
Chen Afu and his wife were even more devastated. They couldn't believe that they had raised such a heartless person.
Chen Xingyue suddenly exclaimed, "The Lingzhou governor? No wonder I felt he looked familiar that day. It turned out to be, it turned out to be..."
She couldn't even call out the word "Dad" no matter what.
A bastard like that is not worthy of being her father!
