"I understand. She's not afraid that her biological father will be a bad person in the future. She's afraid that we will be accused of being unfilial." Chen Ya nodded.
"That's what she thinks."
"Her mistake was... she was too kind."
This is a great mother, but also a mother who is so kind that she is a little foolish.
However, if it weren't for her simple and stubborn nature, the brother and sister wouldn't have developed such upright personalities.
"Brother, let's go," Chen Xi said. "You're a world-renowned musician, and I'm just a small creator. We're no less than some famous Beijing socialite or rich kid. Let's just go for some fun."
"Well, let's just go for fun," Chen Ya said, "but you're not included."
"?"
"You stay at home with your mother. If you want to repay your father for giving birth to you, I will go alone." Chen Ya sneered.
Chen Xi nodded obediently.
Chen Ya walked to the door and said, "Mom, I'll listen to you. I'll go see him."
"Really?!" He heard his mother sit up suddenly from inside the room.
"Really, just go and have fun, what's the big deal."
The door opened and my mother's happy face greeted me.
Chen Ya suddenly felt that just for this smile, even if he didn't like that person, what was the harm in just enduring it?
…
Facing the cold wind, Chen Ya tied his scarf tightly.
Chen Ya got off the high-speed train and just walked out of the station. He thought for a long time, hesitated for a while between various taxis, and finally scanned a shared bicycle.
The capital city is prosperous, unlike other places. Even the pigeons on the roadside seem to have a look of disdain in their eyes.
He pedaled his bike all the way to the intersection of Yangchangzi Hutong and Xiasan Road, turned east at Qianmenkou Street and rode under the overpass. After riding for half an hour, he was sweating profusely and had to take off his scarf. Finally, he arrived at the Taizixuan Hotel.
The place where he made the agreement with that cheap dad.
"Chen Ya!"
On the second floor, a man in a suit and tie waved and shouted at him. Chen Ya looked up and his expression softened slightly.
At least I can recognize my own appearance at a glance.
The receptionist spoke softly, secretly sizing up his shabby face, and said sarcastically:
"Sir, we only accept reservations here."
"I'm looking for someone."
Without wasting any time, I went up the stairs in a few steps and ran into the man who had greeted me before.
Chen Sheng held his phone straight at 90 degrees in one hand, and put the other hand in his pocket. He glanced at the phone, then at Chen Ya, and then smiled.
"Yes, yes, he looks a bit like me when I was young."
Chen Ya walked over and glanced at the screen of his phone out of the corner of his eye. He found that it was a photo of his face that his mother had secretly taken at some point and sent to him via WeChat.
This is how the man recognized him at first sight. Chen Ya just thought, Oh.
So that's it.
"Let's go inside. Booking this hotel is not easy. Your dad had to use all his connections to get it."
The man was in high spirits. He raised his wrist, revealing a Cartier Blue Balloon stainless steel watch under his sleeve.
Chen Ya doesn't know much about watches, so he roughly estimates that this watch is worth about 90,000 yuan.
She followed the man into the private room and sat down. The man smiled and stared at Chen Ya's face for a long time.
"Okay, okay, he's quite handsome, that's even better."
Chen Ya drinks tea.
Chen Sheng added, "Chen Ya, Dad asked you to come back this time mainly for three things."
"First of all, I've been thinking about you back home all these years, but it's not easy to gain a foothold in Beijing. Now that I'm finally feeling a bit confident, I'm thinking about taking care of the kids back home as well. By the way, what do you do now?"
Chen Ya said indifferently, "Just a worker."
"What university did you go to? Are there any second-tier universities?"
"I dropped out of junior high school." said Chen Ya.
Chen Sheng's expression changed slightly, but immediately returned to normal.
"It's okay. Let's think of a way to get an adult undergraduate degree. It won't be difficult if I use my family's connections," said the man.
Chen Ya said, "I don't think that's necessary."
"Education is still important," the man frowned. "How much is your monthly salary now?"
"About five or six thousand."
"Look..." The salary was slightly higher than the man had imagined, so he changed the subject and said, "If you get a diploma and find a good job, your salary will be higher than it is now, and it will be easier. I'm sure you must be working overtime every day now, right?"
"fine."
"Which company do you work for? A factory or..."
"Grand plan." Chen Ya held the cup.
"Is it the Qin family's grand plan?" The man's eyes lit up. "By the way, do you know the Qin family?"
"The Qin family, Qin Yunchu, right?" Chen Ya said, "I think we know each other. We live on the same floor."
What he said was fine.
The man's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Chen Ya, that's not bad. You dropped out of junior high school, but to be able to get to this point, you must have put in a lot of effort, right?"
Chen Ya felt tired.
I feel tired.
He feels tired every minute when talking to someone he doesn't like.
"Just tell me what the other two things you have to do are." Chen Ya said.
The man rubbed his hands and said, "The second thing is, mainly to bring you here to see the world. Did you know? In another month, the old man of the Lu family will be celebrating his birthday..."
"Who?" Chen Ya frowned.
"Old Master Lu... Oh, you don't know the Lu family, right? It's okay. After all, it's normal for ordinary people not to know. All you need to know is that the Lu family is a very powerful and influential family."
At this point, perhaps because he was too excited, the man's pretended authentic Beijing dialect finally lost its composure and revealed his dialect.
"I know the Lu family is awesome. What does Old Master Lu's birthday have to do with you?" Chen Ya frowned.
"Don't you know?" The man raised an eyebrow. "Didn't your mother tell you?"
"Tell what?"
Chen Sheng straightened his chest slightly.
After all, this was the most remarkable operation of his life.
"Your stepmother...that's the one your father and I found later. She's from the Lu family."
After a pause, seeing Chen Ya's confused expression, he added:
"Ms. Rich."
