Wanghai has experienced ups and downs for fifteen years. Chen Tinghan has made many attempts and tried to change in many directions, but in the end he became more and more like his nemesis Wang Jinling.
He knew how to deal with a person, what to say to scare the other person, and make the other person do things according to his own ideas. In short, it was to find the weak spot and then threaten. After all, the subjects he dealt with were mostly personified, and his methods were ruthless without any moral burden.
Unfortunately, he still failed to learn Wang Jinling's reckless tact.
For the people he really cares about, it is difficult for Chen Tinghan to properly handle a relationship by relying on so-called "methods".
For example, he was obviously a little too hasty when dealing with You Shenyu.
There is no way around it. He really doesn't have much time left to deal with certain things. It can be said that he is too concerned and confused. So now Chen Tinghan urgently needs help. Otherwise, he will choose a gentler means to contact You Shenyu, rather than doing it like now, which is very likely to cause resentment.
In the end, You Shenyu took a step back and said that she needed to think it over carefully.
What she meant by thinking it over carefully was that she wanted to confirm that Chen Tinghan was really capable of cashing the check he said, "I'll handle it."
You Shenyu is such a person. She has the tenderness and sensibility of a woman, but more of a cold reality consideration and interest calculation. The real warmth is dedicated to Li Zishan, whom she raised.
Fortunately, the problems she left behind were not difficult to deal with. In other words, Chen Tinghan had already dealt with them all, and she just had to wait for her to check them after a while.
The problem is that the matter is related to Zhou Jinwei, which may expose Chen Tinghan's identity to him. However, this is not a big deal. Anyway, he is not determined to hide it from Zhou for the rest of his life. Sooner or later, he will have to confess and cooperate. Just be careful not to cause any misunderstandings in the process.
As for what he said about his mother, it was not a lie. Although it had no direct relationship with his mother Cheng Zhilan, it had a lot to do with her brother, Chen Tinghan's uncle Cheng Jun.
In the original future, less than a year later, Cheng Jun would be killed by Wang Jinling.
Chen Tinghan always believed that that was the beginning of all evil. From that time on, the rudder of the Wang family's big ship gradually shifted towards Wang Jinling, who had just come of age. It was also at this time that she was destined to be held tightly by Chen Tinghan and the fight would never end.
On the third day of the holiday, Chen Tinghan was going to attend a family dinner of the Cheng family to meet his uncle who claimed to be the head of the family.
…
The restaurant where we are gathering today is not as grand as a "teahouse". It does not have any poetic or Zen atmosphere. It has only three floors, but it is very large. It is also quite famous in Wanghai and is a place that gourmets love to visit.
The hall is lined with rows of fish tanks filled with fresh seafood. The slight fishy smell mixed with the hustle and bustle of the city makes it quite lively. The boss is quite smart, as he mixes with the people in the market. Since he doesn't have much knowledge of literature, he spends money to build a private room on the first floor, which is exclusively for rich men and women and for business banquets.
In terms of grandeur, this place is not bad either.
When my uncle was still alive, the family dinners held every once in a while were mostly funded by my uncle's family. After he met with disaster, each family paid for their own share, and later on, even AA couldn't invite anyone to come.
Chen Tinghan has hated this occasion since he was a child because he usually plays the role of a lubricant, being criticized irrationally and acting as a lubricant for jokes.
But even though he hated it, seeing a large family with blood ties being torn apart because of the death of one person still taught the young Chen Tinghan what the world is like.
As a result, my uncle's annoying face in his childhood was given a tragic filter.
"Why don't you say hello?" A female voice interrupted Chen Tinghan's thoughts. The woman was young and beautiful, but compared to the two girls beside him, she was more mature and had obvious arrogance on her face.
It was his cousin Cheng Weiwei, and the dark-faced middle-aged man standing next to her was his uncle, Cheng Jun.
Chen Tinghan sighed and thought to himself that filters are really unreliable.
He had heard before about the help his uncle's family had given to Old Chen and Cheng Zhilan. Even Chen Tinghan's academic advancement was assisted by Cheng Jun. Logically, the favor was as great as a mountain. But when he really "came back to life" and stood in front of him with his cousin with a stern face, Chen Tinghan really felt like his rebelliousness was aroused.
His sigh was really interpreted as rebellion and impatience. Cheng Jun frowned, but said nothing and turned into the private room.
Cousin Cheng Weiwei looked at him and responded with an impatient sigh.
Chen Tinghan smiled back at her, which startled her. She rolled her eyes in confusion and followed him in.
Chen Tinghan stood in the corridor for a while. A few minutes later, his family came. Old man Chen never liked such occasions and did not come. Instead, Cheng Zhilan and her sweetheart, Chen Shikui, came.
He wanted to hold Chen Shikui's hand, but the little girl shook it off. Chen Tinghan smiled awkwardly, but held it more forcefully. She struggled to get free in vain, looked around nervously, then raised their hands and bit them hard.
"Ouch!" Chen Tinghan felt pain and said, "You really bite me!"
Chen Shikui snorted coldly and turned his head away, ignoring his brother. Cheng Zhilan smiled and pretended to blame him: "Alright, you are already an adult and still not behave properly. There are too many people outside, so go in first."
Chen Tinghan stepped forward and opened the door of the private room for the two women in the house.
Cheng Zhilan squinted at him and said, "You're such a gentleman, have you done something wrong again?"
"You think too badly of your son." Chen Tinghan shrugged and said helplessly.
The big private room was bustling with people. There was a big family and several small families, all of which happened to have young generations. It was the busiest time of the year. More than 20 people were sitting around a big round table. It was actually difficult to hear what the people opposite were saying at this distance.
The children were running around, the mothers were scolding, and the uncles were talking loudly.
Only when Cheng Jun, the "head of the family", speaks, will everyone give him some face and listen. What he says is not important, but just family matters, talking about the latest situation of each family, so as not to let the blood ties be broken.
The aunts really liked such occasions and loved to enjoy family happiness. The uncles did not comment, but they did not dislike it either. However, from their expressions and words, one could see that many people actually did not agree with Cheng Jun as the head of the family.
No one objected, it was because of money.
The Cheng family village in the mountains is to be demolished. These days, demolition is still a word that makes people jealous, but what is so embarrassing and suffocating is that several families present had moved out of the village a long time ago for various reasons.
In order to get the money, all kinds of confusing debts and household registration issues must be resolved, and the one who controls both channels is Cheng Jun, one of the few who chose to stay.
This is also the reason why he is "respected" at home.
Unfortunately, although his uncle was selfless in his dedication to the family, he failed to understand this point. He did not understand why these people gathered together, and his words and actions were so sharp that even his only daughter did not know the seriousness of the matter.
Cheng Weiwei tapped her fingers on the table and smiled at Chen Tinghan, "How's your study been lately?"
