"The political and legal system is one family; it's hard for me not to know that." Chen Guanglin expressionlessly ate his chess piece. "You probably can't persuade him."
"I know." Chen Lu did not deny it. He no longer expected the old man to help him. He would only show his face when he was free and passing by, since the old man was so lonely.
Chen Guanglin nodded slightly, "But if you really have the chance, remember to give Lin Jingming a good thrashing."
Chen Lu noticed Chen Guanglin's lips twitch and asked curiously, "Why do you seem to hate him more than I, the victim?"
“Your Uncle Mo is over forty years old and still single; he has to bear half the responsibility.”
"Could he be a man who steals other people's partners?"
Chen Lu stared blankly, mouth agape. How could they wait until I was twenty-two to tell me such a big piece of gossip?
They're all past their expiration date, aren't they?
Chen Guanglin narrowed his eyes, as if recalling something he had buried for many years, "Back then, although your Uncle Mo and your aunt didn't have a good relationship, it wasn't far from ending without a trace. At that time, he was on the rise, and Lin Jingming happened to be investing here."
Later, Lin Jingming suddenly invested in many real estate projects, and Uncle Mo was valued by his superiors. Although his career was on the rise, it was from that time that he started to be away from home.
The rest is what you know: less than two years after your Uncle Mo's divorce, Lin Jingming married your Aunt.
I believe he never imagined that you, Uncle Mo, would rise to such a high position, but I find it hard to believe that he didn't interfere.
"......"
My father seemed to have said something, but also seemed to have said nothing at all.
However, Chen Lu now knew where half of the responsibility came from.
Based on this information alone, he imagined a TV series with at least forty episodes, the kind that would be broadcast on Hunan TV.
“Your Uncle Mo has treated you like his own son all these years, and you can feel it yourself.”
Chen Lu nodded, without denying it.
To give you a small example, ever since I can remember, Uncle Mo has always given him two sets of New Year's money. One set is given openly because the other set is likely to be confiscated.
The other one was secretly given to him so he could buy whatever he wanted.
As he got older, the amount of money in the red envelopes increased.
This habit continued until this year without interruption. Despite his various entanglements with Mo Yuqing, Uncle Mo's attitude towards him remained unchanged; he still treated him with the same care and even made time to watch his speeches.
He knew very well that there weren't many people in the whole country with such a good elder.
"So Lin Jingming has offended you. Take every opportunity to trip him up. There are many things your Uncle Mo and I can't do. Besides, I've lived most of my life. It would seem petty of me to deliberately make things difficult for him. I'm definitely not the kind of person who holds grudges."
Chen Lu's lips twitched. "You're really wrong."
He now knows who he inherited his grudge-holding habit from.
"Right? They're all old stories."
Chen Guanglin nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this. "I know you're not the type to hold grudges. Just do what you can. Even if his company is facing a cash flow crisis, illegally steals your company's data, and seems to be involved in bribery and tax evasion, we can't destroy him."
He clapped his hands and then spread them out, saying in a serious tone, "We, the Chen family, are all honest people!"
Chen Lu nodded repeatedly. How could he possibly hold a grudge just because the other company indirectly targeted his girlfriend at the comic convention by arranging her booth next to the toilet?
That all happened 61 days ago.
"What are you two grinning about? You're acting like lunatics! Come and eat!"
Wang Xiaoxia's voice came from the kitchen, "Chen Guanglin! If you don't come and get the dishes, you're not eating dinner!"
Chen Guanglin was startled by the call and quickly got up and went to the kitchen.
"They're here!"
Chen Lu watched his father's disheveled figure as he pondered the words the two had just spoken.
"It would make me look petty to deliberately make trouble for him," which translates to "It would be too embarrassing for me to get involved in this."
"We, the Chen family, are all honest people."
That means you shouldn't do these things yourself.
Then, Chen Guanglin just explained all the ways to get things done very clearly.
Knowing where the root of the problem lies and finding the evidence is much simpler than trying to shake a seemingly lush and towering tree.
Even though it was warm at home, Chen Lu still felt a chill down his spine. He turned to look at Wang Xiaoxia, who was pulling Chen Guanglin's ear, and Liang Zhirou, who was watching in a daze.
Fortunately, his mother can keep him in check.
Chen Lu had only this one thought.
......
Although Chen Mo wasn't home, the house was still quite lively this Lantern Festival.
After Chen Lu finished eating and happily left with Liang Zhirou, Wang Xiaoxia finally had time to look at the various tonics that Liang Zhirou had brought.
Neither she nor Chen Guanglin declined; they stayed on.
You shouldn't refuse gifts from younger people.
Not to mention it was a gift from my future daughter-in-law.
"Why would Zhirou buy so many things out of the blue?"
Wang Xiaoxia asked with a gossipy air, "I did a quick calculation, and this pile of stuff is worth at least a thousand yuan. This girl is really generous..."
During the Lunar New Year period, countless people sent her gifts like this, but Liang Zhirou's gift was the only one that she found pleasing to the eye.
Chen Guanglin couldn't help but scoff, "It's only been a few years since you insisted on bringing gifts to meet my parents, and you've already forgotten?"
"You said this is Zhirou..."
Wang Xiaoxia stopped mid-sentence, unable to finish her sentence.
