Chen Tongfu said the words "We are a family" in a very soft voice.
He was a little embarrassed.
Chen Tongfu believed in the saying "you get what you give," and he felt he hadn't contributed a bit to Xie Qian's upbringing. He hadn't picked him up from school, cooked for him, cared for him when he was sick, or even given him money... He felt guilty about not having given anything, yet he had the chance to snag an enviable stepson for free.
Oh, he did help Xie Qian a little, but that was more to protect Zou Weijun——
Chen Tongfu humbly asked Aunt Wang, "As a family, besides buying a car and a house for my stepson, what else can I do to express my love for him?"
There was anticipation in Chen Tongfu's eyes. At this moment, he was very willing to accept the advice of his love strategist Aunt Wang!
Aunt Wang was so shocked that she was speechless.
Family, stepson, buying a car and a house, thoughtfulness...these keywords washed over Aunt Wang's eardrums.
In Aunt Wang's mind, Chen Tongfu was a dull man who couldn't fall in love and was always slow to confirm their relationship. Aunt Wang was so eager to inquire about their progress because she was afraid that if she didn't hurry, Chen Tongfu would miss out on 10 or 20 other people of the opposite sex who might be interested in him!
Now Chen Tongfu actually said that we are about to become a family?!
Aunt Wang really didn't realize that Zou Weijun had such a big son. Zou Weijun looked to be only in his thirties.
Of course, whether Zou Weijun has a son and how old his son is are things that Chen Tongfu should care about, and have nothing to do with Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang's thoughts were somewhat divergent: she felt that Mr. Chen was no ordinary man. Although he shared an old house with everyone else, he had the calmness of a wealthy person! He had said without hesitation that he would buy a car and a house for his stepson in the future, which showed that Mr. Chen's financial resources were even more substantial than she had imagined.
Aunt Wang felt that she had a very good eye for people.
Thinking this way, Aunt Wang's divergent thoughts gradually found their anchor. "What's wrong with buying a house and a car? Xiao Chen, do you think buying a house and a car is too tacky? Haha, I advise you not to have such thoughts! Your girlfriend's children are already so grown up, you can't always fool her with young people's free romance. I'm not teaching you to be unromantic, I mean that romance and practicality should be balanced. Be tacky when it's necessary. And sometimes caring for her son is more effective than caring for her. Half the reason a woman remarries is for the children..."
Aunt Wang rambled on and on with a lot of instructions.
Chen Tongfu heard it all and remembered it all.
However, Aunt Wang had never met Zou Weijun and didn't know her at all. Other women remarried mostly for the sake of having children, but Zou Weijun didn't.
Chen Tongfu didn't want Zou Weijun to remarry just to give Xie Qian a qualified stepfather.
Before Zou Weijun’s identity as a “mother”, Zou Weijun is first and foremost herself, an independent and outstanding mature woman!
While Chen Tongfu wanted to be nice to Xie Qian, he definitely did not want to impress Zou Weijun by pleasing Xie Qian.
He just couldn't help but be nice to Xie Qian.
I feel sorry for Xie Qian's precocity and difficulties, and want to take better care of him.
As usual, some of Aunt Wang's advice was very useful to Chen Tongfu, while other parts were selectively filtered out by Chen Tongfu.
You have to strike a balance between romance and tackyness, and be tacky when it's appropriate.
Well, that makes sense.
Just because Xie Qian can make money himself doesn’t mean he doesn’t have to give money to Xie Qian.
Since they will be a family in the future, Xie Qian’s affairs will be Chen Tongfu’s own affairs.
Chen Tongfu sincerely thanked Aunt Wang for her advice: "I know what to do now. In the future, we will definitely thank you very much."
Chen Tongfu had already entered the house, put on his shoes and was about to go out.
Aunt Wang smiled and waved at him: "Come on, Xiao Chen, I'm looking forward to drinking in your wedding wine!"
The three words "attending a wedding" hit Chen Tongfu's expectations. He made a phone call while walking out. When Chen Tongfu reached the entrance of the alley, a black car was already waiting there.
It was an ordinary-looking car, with an ordinary-looking driver, just like the impression Chen Tongfu usually gave people.
This driver didn't even seem to have a higher EQ than Xie Qian's driver, and he didn't even bother to open the door for Chen Tongfu.
"Mr. Chen."
The driver simply greeted him and waited quietly for Chen Tongfu's instructions.
Chen Tongfu mentioned a place, and the driver quietly started the car. Under the cover of night, the black car drove like a ghost through the neon-lit streets of the Magic City.
It never runs a red light, never competes with other cars for the road, and rarely brakes suddenly. It is just an ordinary car that would not attract attention.
Chen Tongfu sat in the back seat and made a phone call.
The driver arrived at the place indicated by Chen Tongfu and parked the car in a camera blind spot without Chen Tongfu's specific instructions.
After more than ten minutes, someone knocked on the car window.
Chen Tongfu pushed the door and got out of the car.
"Old Chen, didn't you say you wanted to live a simple life? Why are you so active recently? What does other people's family affairs have to do with you? I think you are more anxious than the real family."
The person knocking on the car window was a man wearing a stand-up collar polo shirt.
Some people say that the collar of a polo shirt is raised to protect the neck from sunburn when playing polo.
It was late at night and there was no sun and no polo to be played. The man stood up his collar, probably subconsciously not wanting people to notice his appearance.
The night is the best cover. Passersby who occasionally pass by will only see two men talking beside the car and will not care what they say.
