During the Beijing Olympics, Chen Yun took her parents out for fun. Liu Qiao bought tickets for a shooting match from somewhere, and Chen Yun and Ruirui took his grandparents out for fun.
Chen Yun drove them. Chen Sipeng went to see Chen Yun's new house yesterday and said to her secretly: "Don't you have money to renovate your house? I'll give you some money..."
"Dad, no need. Apart from the money for Ruirui's studies, Liu Qiao has a salary and I am opening a shop, so we will hire someone to renovate it at the end of the year. You and mom can keep the money for your old age, and when Ruirui goes to college, I will take you on a trip." Chen Yun clearly did not want her parents' money.
Chen Sipeng thought to himself that he would still need to help his daughter in the future.
Chen Yun took a lot of photos and uploaded them to her social media space. Many people liked and commented on them, including Jiang Jing.
She took the opportunity to talk to Jiang Jing about their relationship. She asked in the phone, "Jingjing, I don't know if I should ask this question. Originally, this is a matter between you two and I shouldn't interfere. But now that you have a child, you can't keep quarreling like this while the child is still around."
But Jiang Jing replied, "Sister, I have no choice. You know what happened with my parents. They never got along very well. They finally got along a little better last time, but I'm always worried about them quarreling. I'm the only daughter in the family. I asked Chen Feng if we could take turns, but he disagreed."
Chen Yun said calmly: "Is there something else?"
Jiang Jing is a very traditional person and would never quarrel with Chen Feng over this matter. Chen Yun thinks she is quite good at observing people and she always feels that there is something hidden.
Sure enough, Jiang Jing said, "Sister, if you really want to know about this, go ask Chen Feng."
Chen Yun called Chen Feng with a lot of explanations in her mind, but she didn't answer. At this time, Zhang Han called Chen Yun and invited her to dinner, saying that Xiao Lan's boyfriend Zhong Yang was coming over, because Zhong Yang had one year left before graduating from college, so he wanted to confirm his relationship with Xiao Lan.
When Chen Yun first learned that the two were together, she still found it very strange. Perhaps it was because Zhong Yang's experience with Cai Ping was too profound, so now that he is with someone else, it makes them feel as if all the previous events were a farce.
But they still had to go, because Liu Qiao didn't have time to go, so Chen Yun had to take Zi Rui with her.
I haven't seen Zhang Han for almost a year, and she looks much better than she did a year ago. Xiao Lan's university is also in Beijing, and she comes back often. I guess she has managed these relationships very well, which is why the Xiao family is so harmonious and happy.
Zhang Han invited them to her home. Xiao Zhen was helping to serve the dishes. She was very happy to see Chen Yun coming. Xiao Zhen was dressed very neatly now, not like she used to wear strange clothes. It was as if the nerd from before had returned.
She was wearing denim overalls and glasses, looking like the girl next door.
Even when she saw Zi Rui, she was still very enthusiastic, "Brother Zi Rui, I heard that you were admitted to the affiliated high school, you are amazing."
"It's okay. I don't know what high school will be like in the future?" Zi Rui said modestly.
Zhang Han said happily: "Zhenzhen had good grades when she was young. Although she was delayed for a few years, she is back to normal now. Her English is especially good. We are going to send her abroad this time."
Going abroad? Chen Yun frowned: "But isn't Zhenzhen also only in high school?"
Xiao Zhen said, "So I asked my parents to go with me to study."
"Studying with your child?" It was the first time Xiao Lan heard this news.
Xiao Zhen said: "Yes, many of my classmates went there directly from high school, so it will be easier for them to integrate. My mother's company can be handed over to a professional manager. The most important thing is that my family can spend time with me." She said with a smile and looked at Xiao Lan.
She had no ill will towards Xiao Lan, but she had to take back what was hers. She was stupid before, and she ran away from home and made her parents sad. Why did she let someone else take away her parents?
Zhang Han couldn't help but say to Xiao Lan, "Yang Yang will be here soon. I can't guarantee the same for others, but Yang Yang is a good kid who grew up under our watch. We feel relieved to have him take care of you."
Since Lanlan has given up, she and Xiao Shunping will naturally take Xiaolan as the priority. Besides, Xiaozhen is young, and they are naturally worried about her going abroad alone.
At this time, Zhong Yang came over with a lot of drinks, all of which were high-end wines. He dressed himself up very neatly. Xiao Shunping had always been nice to Zhong Yang, and now he was even happier to see that he was his daughter's boyfriend.
"Your mother called me and expressed her support for your relationship. I said as long as the children are well, it's fine," said Zhang Han.
Chen Yun certainly understood Xu Lijie's feelings. When she was in Jiangning, Xu Lijie had been very good to Xiao Lan. As her son, Zhong Yang certainly knew it too.
Zhong Yang was also very happy to see Zi Rui, "Rui Rui, have you ever thought about which school to apply to in the future?" After listening to Zi Rui's answer, he made various analyses and found that he was a boy with a very good temper. Even Chen Yun could not find fault with him.
Today, the Zhang family's dishes were particularly rich. Chen Yun and Zi Rui ignored the undercurrents in the Zhang family and only ate the dishes. Xiao Lan couldn't help but mention it at the table: "Mom, when are you going abroad? I'll buy you some delicious food."
Surprisingly, Xiao Lan did not panic. She calmly asked about the matter and told Xiao Zhen, "Dad has many old injuries from training. You need to make sure he takes calcium tablets. Mom likes to go out and play. You can also drive yourself wherever you go."
Xiao Zhen also replied: "Sister, you are very thoughtful."
Xiao Lan replied, "Mom, isn't Brother Yangyang looking for a place to intern? You know he's very capable. A foreign company wanted him to intern there. I think it's better to let Brother Yangyang intern there. If there's any change, he can tell you."
After she finished speaking, Zhang Han agreed immediately. After all, she was already sorry for her eldest daughter. It was hard for her to avoid suspicion just to let her boyfriend do an internship. However, with Zhong Yang's ability, he could go to a very high-end company. Her daughter was probably afraid that if they all went abroad, the people in the company would make trouble.
Zhong Yang hesitated and said, "Lan Lan, Aunt Zhang doesn't need it anymore."
Xiao Lan smiled and said, "Brother Yangyang, if you go to that company, won't we be too far away?"
Xiao Shunping finally understood what his daughter said and quickly said, "Zhong Yang, just go to work at the company. You are such a top student and we are family, what are you afraid of?"
The decision was final. Xiao Zhen was obviously not convinced, but was too embarrassed to say anything.
Xiao Lan's level is too high, but in Xiao Lan's opinion, since Xiao Zhen did so desperately, she was afraid that her parents would love her, so she had to do this. She was grateful for her parents' training. If the company's affairs could not be inherited, she would let her future husband get into the inner circle. Maybe many people would say that she was greedy and never wanted things that did not belong to her.
But is it really like this?
She gave up her favorite dance, originally wanting to take over the family business. She had been adopted by Zhang Han and his wife for so many years, and she had long regarded her parents as her real parents. With her ability, she might not do badly, but she was not willing to do so.
Just because of blood relationship, even though he is so much stronger than Xiao Zhen, he has to give up so much.
All she wanted was for her parents to be by her side. She also wanted Xu Lijie to like her because Zhang Han valued her more in the past. She didn't expect that she would be expelled now. She had to fight for it. She fell in love with Zhong Yang unexpectedly, but unfortunately she saw clearly that Zhong Yang was a bit cowardly. If she wanted him to be devoted to her, she had to deal with Xu Lijie.
The meal that Chen Yun had at their house was also not awkward. After the meal, she received a call from Chen Feng on the road. Chen Yun parked the car on the side of the road to answer his call.
"Sister, did you call me? I was a little busy and didn't answer the call." Chen Feng apologized.
Chen Yun sighed, "What's going on between you and your wife? I'm worried when I see you. My parents seem to feel safe living here, but I'm also worried that you two might quarrel."
Zi Rui pretended to be indifferent, but also listened attentively. It seemed that since he graduated from junior high school, her mother no longer avoided many things with him.
"Sister, please don't worry about what happens between us." Chen Feng said tiredly.
The more he talked about this, the more anxious Chen Yun became: "What exactly is going on? Xiao Feng, you're making me anxious when you say this. If the problem isn't solved, not only will I be anxious, but my parents will be too."
Chen Feng then slowly told her about the company's shares. His father, Chen Sipeng, planned to give 20% of the shares to Zirui, 50% to them, another 20% to Chen Yun, and the remaining 10% to the old couple. Jiang Jing had no right to say anything at first, but after giving birth to a son, she inevitably became dissatisfied with this.
Chen Feng said embarrassedly, "Sister, I've told her that my parents never treated me as an outsider. Dad has always admired Zirui, and this is our parents' decision, not my sister's. But Jingjing still has the old ideas, she thinks a family should be inherited by men, so she is very opposed to it."
In fact, Chen Feng certainly knew the reason why his father did this. This was clearly an attempt to win over his sister and brother-in-law, and he actually hoped that the relationship between the two families would be closer.
Do you think that doing business without a backstage support can last long?
Before my sister married Liu Qiao, the Chen family only had a few small shops and a factory. Later, because the Liu family was a local boss with abundant resources, competitors did not dare to mess with them, so the Chen family's business grew bigger and bigger.
Besides, his sister and Zi Rui were his relatives, so he didn't think it mattered if he gave them the gift. If his sister was the kind of person who was naturally indifferent and had no family affection, then it would be fine.
But no matter what big or small matter the Chen family came to my sister for, she helped without hesitation. A man like my brother-in-law could take care of his family so much, it was only because of my sister's face.
Chen Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't I tell my parents that we don't want it anymore? I didn't expect my father to make this decision."
In her eyes, her parents are relatively traditional people, and she would not have any opinion even if the family business was left to her son, because most people in her hometown think so.
After hearing what Chen Yun said, Chen Feng immediately said, "Sister, we siblings are supposed to support each other. Mom and Dad can give their things to whoever they want. Besides, Zi Rui is also my nephew, so this is what should happen."
Besides, Chen Feng didn't understand. Jiang Jing's own father didn't give the company to her, so she could accept it if he gave it to her cousin or an outsider. Chen Sipeng just gave the shares to his daughter and grandson, so there was no conflict.
Chen Yun shook her head: "I will tell my parents about this."
She hung up the phone and talked to Zi Rui about this in the car. She respected her son's opinion very much.
"Ruirui, mom thinks we can't take the shares. What do you think? If your uncle and aunt become estranged because of this incident, your grandpa and grandma will definitely not live a peaceful old age."
Zi Rui said, "Mom, it's not about whether we want it or not, but this is grandpa's own property, he has the right to give it to whomever or not. If my aunt quarrels about this matter now, she may not want my dad and uncle to help her when she encounters bigger problems in the future."
He knew that his mother was born in the 1970s and although she had always lived in a big city, she was unwilling to go against tradition. In today's society, men and women are equal, so since his grandfather was willing to give it to him, why didn't his mother want it?
But Chen Yun said: "A good man does not eat the divided family property, and a good woman does not wear the wedding dress. I am not greedy for my parents' property, no matter who they give it to, I have no opinion."
Although Chen Yun seems to be very calculative when doing business, she is actually the person who values money the least.
If she is greedy for money, she doesn't need to go out to work, and can live by relying on her parents-in-law and husband. When she was young, she would be calculative about small amounts of money, but the older she gets, the less she cares about money.
Hearing her mother say this, Zi Rui also said: "Mom is right. I can do well with my own abilities, just like my dad."
In his heart, his father is almost omnipotent. He rose from a small soldier to a division commander, and it is said that he will be promoted again this year. When his elders see him, they always talk about how great his father is. He thinks he can do it too.
"It's good that you understand this. Sometimes more money doesn't necessarily bring good things. We are biological mother and son, so I tell you this. As long as your father continues to be promoted, with your ability and your father's support, you will definitely get better and better in the future." Chen Yun is not unaware that her husband is now a big shot, but the more Liu Qiao is like this, the more they have to keep a low profile. Moreover, in her opinion, she has not made any contribution to her father's company, but she has taken so many shares. This is really shameful. If she gives up, it can not only make her brother and sister-in-law better, but also make her parents happy in their later years. She thinks it is worth it for her to give up like this.
"Come on, Ruirui, let's go home and tell your grandparents."
