The couple was sighing and lamenting when Chen Yun heard the phone ring at home. She quickly answered it and saw that it was Zhang Meixiang calling about Chen Feng's matter.

Chen Yun didn't quite understand what was going on with Chen Feng during the New Year, so she asked in confusion: "Didn't he go back home to work? What happened?" Chen Feng was the prince of a famous company in Jiangcheng, and he was working at home, so how could something happen to him?

In her heart, Chen Feng was an honest child who had never disobeyed his parents.

Zhang Meixiang said on the other end of the phone, "It's all because of those aunts and uncles. Fengfeng is only 23 years old, and she's getting so annoyed by people introducing her to potential partners all day long. Your father and I are not in a hurry at all. It's not too late for a man to get married at 30. Even your Liu Qiao got married in his 30s. You can see how happy you are with him."

His daughter Chen Yun was only in her thirties but she was already the wife of a deputy division commander and worked for a government agency. Even though people knew that her son-in-law was a military cadre, the local authorities still had to give the Chen family some face.

Chen Yun smiled and said, "Can't you just turn it down? What's the big deal?"

Zhang Meixiang said anxiously, "The girl your aunt introduced to me this time was really annoying. She even threatened to commit suicide to stop your brother from dating her. I thought of letting Xiao Feng go to your place to avoid her."

As the elder sister, Chen Yun certainly had no choice but to say, "Then let Xiao Feng come over."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Qiao immediately asked what happened? Chen Yun explained it again.

"This time, my aunt and my brother found a blind date. My brother went to meet her for the sake of the elders. It was just a meal. Unexpectedly, this lady fell in love with my brother and insisted on dating him. My parents and brother definitely don't like such a person. She threatened to commit suicide outside our company, so my mother asked my brother to come over to avoid the limelight."

There was another meaning that Chen Yun didn't say, which was that the woman really couldn't get over it and it had nothing to do with her brother.

When a man and a woman want to be together, it is a matter of mutual consent. If you insist on being together just because the other person doesn't like you, that would be too self-indulgent.

Liu Qiao has a very good impression of his wife's brother, and everyone in Chen Yun's family is very nice to him. Although he has not had time to go back and reunite with them in recent years, in his heart, he still regards his brother-in-law and parents-in-law as family.

Now that his parents are older and Chen Yun is very filial, he must be nicer to his wife's family, so he said to Chen Yun: "Then put a bed in Ruirui's room and let them live together, so that Ruirui can be taken care of."

"Okay, sure." Chen Yun was naturally happy to see that her husband agreed.

In the evening, Chen Yun told her parents-in-law about Chen Feng again. Feng Yu was puzzled: "What's wrong with these little girls nowadays? In the past, those who liked our son would follow him home, but none of them were so malicious..."

Liu Zhiguo hesitated for a moment and said, "Your brother has just entered society. Don't let this incident affect him. I would suggest that he just come here and find something to do. Young people still need more training."

Chen Yun also nodded one by one.

The next day she went to the furniture market and moved a bed into Zirui's room. She also bought a new bedside cabinet and separated the room with a curtain. She put all of Zirui's toys into their room and put the sheets and quilts in place before she breathed a sigh of relief.

Besides, Zhong Yang has been very distressed recently, but he can't tell anyone about his troubles and can only keep them to himself. He can hide his depression from others, but not from Xu Lijie.

Zhong Yang is Xu Lijie's hope, so she talks to her son at night.

"Yangyang, have you been troubled by anything these days? Can you tell mom about it?"

Xu Lijie always disciplined her son Zhong Yang very strictly, which made Zhong Yang very afraid of her. His troubles also came from his mother Xu Lijie. In her mind, all the children in the family compound were the same. She regarded them as brothers and sisters, and she didn't think who was better or worse.

But his mother often asked him to teach Xiaolan and Xiaozhen, after all, they were both girls, so Zhong Yang still liked to play with Zirui or another senior in high school. He played with Zirui because although he was a primary school student, he had a lot of toys, and his parents often bought him a lot of puzzles and toys. Zirui was also a military fan, so he liked to play with the primary school student Zirui more.

Seeing her son remained silent, Xu Lijie asked again: "Are you having academic problems recently? Otherwise, Mommy will find another teacher to tutor you."

Although Zhong Yang's academic performance was largely due to his own efforts, Xu Lijie also made every effort. Before he even graduated from his second year of high school, he hired a special teacher to help him with his third year studies. At the same time, he was also learning piano and art. His mother wanted him to get into a key university, and he had no objection to this and thought it was the right thing to do.

Although many people now think that studying is useless, Zhong Yang thinks that studying is still very important.

When he first came here, he didn't know what his mother was thinking. It was only when he overheard his mother's words by chance that he knew her purpose.

That is, he would try to build a good relationship with the Xiao sisters, and even thought about his future with Xiao Lan. He felt disgusted with this kind of thing, because although Xiao Lan was beautiful, generous, and very smart, and even had a good relationship with him, Zhong Yang did not want to become that kind of person.

He heard her mother's smug analysis that Xiao Lan was so outstanding now that even the general manager of Zhang's enterprise regarded Xiao Lan as a princess. What would happen if he had such a girlfriend in the future?

Hearing such words, it seemed as if he was using others as a stepping stone, and it also insulted his usual care for Xiao Lan and his brothers and sisters in the compound. He didn't want to do this. His conditions were not bad, and he could even say they were very good. He was also a proud child in school, so he didn't have any thoughts in his mind. At this stage, of course, studying was more important.

"No need, Mom. My studies are fine now, not too strenuous. It's just that tutoring with Lanlan these days has taken up a lot of my time. I've been feeling a little tired lately, so I want to sleep more." Zhong Yang made up an excuse.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Xu Lijie hurriedly said, "Do you want to go to the hospital? Isn't there something called Life No. 1 that specifically replenishes the brain? Mom will go with you to buy that, okay?"

"Mom, it's really not necessary. I just need to rest for a while." Zhong Yang refused.

Xu Lijie thought that her son was really tired, so she immediately said: "Well, then you just rest at home. Teaching Lanlan is a piece of cake." Xiaolan is lucky. As an orphan, she can be adopted by such a family. If it were based on her previous status, she would never let her son care about that little girl.

But now Xiao Lan is golden all over. Although Xiao Zhen has good grades, she is far behind Xiao Lan. The key is that Xu Lijie learned a secret through Chen Dafen, that is, Zhang Han has no intention of favoring either daughter. She even plans to transfer shares to both daughters. Whoever has the ability will be promoted. In Xu Lijie's opinion, Xiao Lan is of course more capable.

In this regard, Xu Lijie could not find any fault with Zhang Han, and she admired her very much. She treated the adopted child as her own and gave her complete love. This showed Zhang Han's extraordinary qualities.

Don't say Zhang Han is stupid, she is much smarter. Anyway, they are not sons, and the two daughters will compete to treat them well even for this property. Many people may not be filial to their parents even if they are their own daughters, but Zhang Han is very good.

Zhong Yang heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, "That's great."

Xu Lijie felt that her son's tone was not right, so she immediately asked back, "Don't you like Lanlan and Zhenzhen?"

Zhong Yang retorted: "How is that possible? They are all my sisters. We grew up together. How can I not like them?"

Seeing that her son was not pretending, Xu Lijie smiled and said, "That's good. You should know that your father's current leader is Xiao Lan's father. Mom is not the kind of person who schemes, but there are always many things that people can't do. If it weren't for the efforts of mom and dad, your father wouldn't have become the deputy head of the group. Now Xiao Lan's father will retire in a few years. If your father still can't get promoted, he will have to stay in this deputy position for many years. You also have your own pride, but mom didn't ask you to curry favor with others. I also told you to play with Ruirui more, right?"

"Yes, Mom, I know all this." Zhong Yang was happy when he heard Ruirui's name.

Xu Lijie sighed and said, "You should take a rest first. I will talk to your aunt Zhang to prevent others from thinking that you have any objections."

As a mother, she loves her son with the same heart. Chen Dafen asked Hu Qiang for help with his studies countless times and revealed many secrets to him. She was the same. She hoped that her son would have a good future. However, college students nowadays are not assigned jobs like they were in their era. It is not so easy to find a job.

Her husband's parents had retired a long time ago, and her own parents were even more so. When Yangyang came out, there were too few connections that could be used. Even if he and Xiaolan couldn't be together, it would be good to be friends.

The child is too young to know these things, but as an adult how could she not know how difficult the world is? She also has to arrange the child's future.

Chen Feng came by plane and arrived at midnight. Liu Qiao asked Chen Yun to wait at home while he went to pick her up.

"What if you catch a cold in this night wind? Just listen to me and I'll go pick her up. Who knows, maybe I can give Xiao Feng a little more confidence." Liu Qiao said playfully.

She touched Liu Qiao's face and said, "Then you should not be exposed to the wind either."

Liu Qiao felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey, "Yeah."

After he left, Chen Yun opened the refrigerator and cut some bacon, planning to make some midnight snack for her brother when Liu Qiao and the others arrived.
