"Remember to bring plenty of things with you."
Chen Changqing gave instructions.
Chen Dongsheng nodded and said, "I'll go to the department store to buy it myself tomorrow."
"Let Xiao He drive you there, and he can help you carry your things while he's at it."
Hearing Chen Changqing say this, Chen Dongsheng initially wanted to refuse, but considering his own health condition, he finally said, "Thank you, Dad!"
Xiao He is Chen Changqing's driver.
"By the way, Dad, there's something I want to tell you..."
Chen Dongsheng didn't hide anything. He truthfully told Chen Changqing his suspicions and concluded by saying, "Dad, it's not that I'm being petty, but I really think the two things happened too coincidentally."
Also, our family's rural assignment quota came so suddenly. If she had known earlier, I think my second brother wouldn't have ended up like that. But that rural assignment quota was brought home by Grandpa.
Grandpa's original plan was for my second brother to go to the countryside for a few years to gain experience, but on the same day he learned that my second brother had been hospitalized, which is why Xiaoze had to go to the countryside.
"Those thugs who beat up the second brother have not been caught yet. It seems they managed to leave the capital that day. Combined with your suspicions, it's likely that the matter is indeed related to her."
Chen Changqing's face showed no emotion.
Chen Dongsheng asked, "If it really is related to her, what does Dad plan to do?"
The "she" the father and son were referring to undoubtedly meant Zhang Hua.
"Once the evidence is conclusive, the law will decide."
Chen Changqing's meaning was almost straightforward: he would not choose to cover it up.
Since there's no cover-up, there's no way to downplay the issue or let it fade away.
"I was still thinking..."
Chen Dongsheng didn't say what happened next.
Chen Changqing glanced at his eldest son and said calmly, "As a descendant of the Chen family, you cannot do things that violate principles. This family rule was added by your grandfather. Do you remember it?"
"Of course I remember."
Chen Dongsheng nodded.
"Since you know that family rule, why are you questioning it? Do you think I would show favoritism towards her?"
Chen Changqing's expression was unreadable. Seeing Chen Dongsheng shake his head, he said, "Let's not even talk about how I have no feelings for her over the years. Even if she and I are a real couple, as long as she breaks the law, she should bear the punishment of the law."
Furthermore, if your suspicions are true, do you think I would let a woman with ulterior motives go? Besides, she harmed my son. If I let such a woman continue to live in the house, wouldn't that be like planting a time bomb?
Do you think I would act so recklessly?
"I was wrong."
Chen Dongsheng showed a good attitude in admitting his mistake. He said, "I originally thought that in your heart, she had worked hard for our family over the years, even if she hadn't made any great contributions, so I couldn't help but overthink it."
"But I have made my decision clear."
Chen Changqing snorted coldly and said, "I wonder where you got your suspicious nature from."
"Dad, I'm your biological son, so tell me, whose personality do I take after?"
Chen Dongsheng grinned for a moment.
Chen Changqing said in a deep voice, "You're all grown up now, remember to be more composed in your words and actions!"
"Why should I be so composed in front of my own father? Besides, I'm just a little eccentric sometimes; I've never embarrassed you in public!"
Hearing Chen Dongsheng indirectly praising himself, Chen Changqing didn't say anything to discourage him. Instead, he asked, "How is Xiaoxu feeling now?"
"When he learned that I could find someone to treat his legs, he seemed to regain his vitality."
Chen Dongsheng responded truthfully.
"That's good."
Chen Changqing sighed, then his expression hardened, and he said coldly, "It's best that she didn't do what happened to your second brother and to you, otherwise, she won't have a good life for the rest of her days!"
"Once the matter is investigated, Dad will make all the decisions."
Chen Dongsheng had no objection; he didn't want a poisonous snake to stay in the house all the time.
"Remember to go to the courtyard house tomorrow and visit your grandparents."
Chen Changqing gave instructions.
"good."
Chen Dongsheng responded.
"By the way, you were injured during a mission before and were carried to Shisong Village by the villagers. If I remember correctly, your Grandpa Xiao and his family live in that village. When you go there, take the opportunity to visit your Grandpa Xiao and his family. Don't forget to bring back plenty of milk powder and malted milk powder and other nutritional supplements."
Thinking of the Xiao family, Chen Changqing couldn't help but recall the misdeeds of his daughter, Chen Shu. Even though he and the old man in the family had verbally severed ties with that daughter, they still couldn't quell their anger.
Spoiled and willful, she used tricks to marry Xiao Yu and then used tricks to get pregnant. But when the child was born, she learned that the Xiao family had run into trouble and cried and made a scene, demanding a divorce.
After her suicide attempt failed, the old man in the family had no choice but to step in and grant Chen Shu's wish.
Unexpectedly, less than a month later, his good daughter took matters into her own hands, threatening suicide again and begging to marry into the Wang family, specifically the second son of the Wang family.
To be honest, Chen Shu has completely disgraced the Chen family. He strongly suspects that she is of the Chen family bloodline and is his and Zhao Su's daughter!
But what good is doubt?
She was the one Zhang Hua brought into the Chen family along with Zhao Su's ashes.
It is said that she was born with a difficult birth and was brought to the Chen family. She was thin and weak and looked like she would be difficult to raise.
Perhaps for this reason, including him, his family never made any demands on Chen Shu, only hoping that she could grow up safely, while turning a blind eye to Zhang Hua raising Chen Shu to be extremely spoiled.
As a result, the little girl became spoiled and willful, unable to bear the slightest grievance, let alone being scolded, which led to the evil deeds the other party committed against Xiao Yu!
"dad……"
Suddenly, Chen Dongsheng called out to Chen Changqing.
"Is there anything else?"
Chen Changqing asked.
"Didn't you ever suspect Chen Shu's parentage?" Before Chen Changqing could react, Chen Dongsheng continued, "For example, Chen Shu wasn't born to Aunt Zhao, but to the child who was lost years ago..."
Don't make baseless accusations.
Chen Changqing's face darkened: "Back then, Chen Yue got lost after being taken out by the family's nanny. When Xiao Ze's mother found out, she immediately fainted. When she woke up, she rushed out of the ward like a madwoman and ran into the street to look for Chen Yue..."
She searched for Chen Yue alone in the city's streets and alleys for more than a week, but still couldn't find any news of her. Unable to bear the blow, she fainted on the side of the road, and was taken to the hospital by a kind passerby.
After that, she was bedridden for over a year before recovering from the grief of losing her daughter. She said, "As for whether Chen Yue is her child, this shouldn't be mentioned at home until there's evidence to prove it."
"Is Dad worried that Chen Shu will be heartbroken if she finds out?"
Chen Dongsheng asked.
"...Chen Shu has nothing to do with this family anymore. I just don't want things to get messy here, but...if there's any evidence to prove your suspicions..."
Chen Changqing suddenly stopped speaking. After a long pause, his expression was unreadable, and he spoke again: "Chen Yue has been missing for thirteen or fourteen years. If she really is my and your Aunt Zhao's daughter, then where is she now?"
