The call was picked up by Chu Nancheng. As he answered, his expression became more and more ugly. Everyone present was smart and could see that the call Chu Nancheng received was not good news.
After a while, Chu Nancheng put down the phone. He did not speak immediately, but lowered his head and thought silently. Chu Beichen and Su Nian looked at each other, and did not ask any questions.
The Han family is visiting today, and this delicate in-law relationship means that some things cannot be brought to the table.
Han Qing and Grandpa Han also wisely remained silent, silently peeling dried fruits. But at this moment, Chu's mother's voice rang out, "Nancheng, is this your father? Is he working overtime or is he stuck in traffic?"
Chu Nancheng shook his head and said embarrassedly, "Neither, Dad was left behind!"
There are many interpretations for this sentence, but considering Chu's father's identity, the most likely one is that he got into trouble and has been quarantined for investigation!
But Chu's mother didn't understand. She was a little anxious, and all she wanted was to avoid losing face and being impolite in front of her in-laws. But what she feared came true, and her husband just didn't support her and wouldn't come back today.
So Mother Chu urged Chu Nancheng dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean by staying? Can't you explain it clearly once and for all?"
Chu Nancheng gritted his teeth. His honest mother urged him repeatedly. If he continued to cover up, it would leave a bad impression in front of the Han family. "Mom, something happened to Dad. He was kept for questioning!"
Mother Chu blinked, finally digesting the meaning of this sentence. She asked cautiously, "Is it your father? What will happen to him?"
There is nothing wrong with this statement, especially since Chu's mother knows her husband very well. He has been honest and self-disciplined and has performed his duties conscientiously for so many years. Such a problem should not have occurred. She has also never heard that anything happened in her husband's unit that required her husband to bear joint responsibility!
Chu Nancheng still had a constipated expression, frowning and stammering, "The other party didn't say anything."
In fact, the other party not only did not say anything, the person who claimed to be Assistant Zheng was very stern and asked Chu Nancheng to notify his family to check themselves!
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly dropped to below freezing point. This matter was really weird. Chu Beichen knew that his father was in trouble, but Grandpa Han was already a guest today, so he had to deal with the situation!
"Since Dad has something to do, let's eat first. It's almost time!" Chu Beichen stood up and extended his hand to invite Grandpa Han to take a seat.
Mother Chu finally came to her senses and suppressed her chaotic emotions. "Yeah, look at me, I'm so busy and confused. Let's go eat first!"
Grandpa Han stretched out his hand at this time, "Don't worry, Han Qing, ask what's going on!"
Han Qing's face was solemn. He answered yes promptly, then took out his phone and started dialing. When they did all this, it seemed as if they were no longer grandfather and grandson, but superior and subordinate.
Han Qing was very quick. In less than three minutes, he had learned the whole story. "Grandpa, Aunt Chu, Uncle Chu has been reported for financial problems. I've already sent someone to check out the problem. I expect a response soon!"
Grandpa Han's face was gloomy. He thought more and more deeply than the Chu family. What is in-laws? It is a relationship where both parties prosper and suffer together. Now that Chu's father's position is about to be promoted, such a problem has arisen at this time. Most likely, it is not because Chu's father really has a problem, but a means for his opponents to attack him.
It is even possible that they are the political enemies of the Han family, who are deliberately attacking the weaker Chu family!
