Rebirth Era: After the Beautiful Sister-in-law Refuses to Open Business

Hearing this, Mr. Chen said nothing, tacitly agreeing with what Mrs. Chen said. He thought that as long as he asked, his son would tell him the truth. It was impossible that there was something wrong but he insisted on hiding it from his old father.

However, both Mrs. Chen and Mr. Chen had miscalculated.

Even when Chen Changqing was asked by Old Man Chen in person whether he was hiding something from him and his wife, the response he got was that Chen Changqing flatly denied it.

"you sure?"

"Ah."

When Chen Changqing was called to the study by the old man, he was actually quite confused. It was not until he heard the old man Chen tell him the purpose of calling him to the study that he understood something. However, in order to prevent his old parents from getting angry, he did not tell his father what he knew, that is, the guess that his eldest son had told him earlier.

"You, Dongsheng, and Xiaoxu have a problem with the way they treat Zhang Hua and her daughter. Don't think your mother and I can't see it."

Mr. Chen is deceiving Chen Changqing.

"What's the problem? What's going on with my marriage to Zhang Hua? You and my mom know how I've treated her over the years. I don't think my attitude towards her is any different than before.

As for Dongsheng and Xiaoxu, Dongsheng has never been close to Zhang Hua, which you and my mother both know, and Xiaoxu...his attitude towards Zhang Hua has indeed changed, but in my opinion it is not difficult to understand. After all, the child suddenly became a disabled person, and it is inevitable that his temperament will change. "

Chen Changqing said this in a roundabout way. Hearing this, Old Man Chen frowned slightly and asked, "Then how do you explain your attitude towards Xiaoze?"

"Dad...you think too much. I have always treated Xiaoze as my own son."

Chen Changqing pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment before speaking again: "Dongsheng has always been a man of few words, and Xiaoxu has never been able to play with Xiaoze since they were young. I haven't noticed anything unusual in the relationship between the three brothers in the past two days."

After listening to what Chen Changqing said, Mr. Chen was slow to respond. Well, it’s not that he didn’t want to say something, but he didn’t know how to say it.

reason?

It’s just because there’s really no loophole in what Chen Changqing said.

Old Master Chen remained silent, and Chen Changqing did not urge him. He just sat there quietly. After a long while, Old Master Chen spoke up: "If there is a suitable opportunity, let Xiaoze join the army. However, the prerequisite is that he is willing to join the army, and his mother has no objection."

“It’s good to exercise in the countryside.”

If what happened to the eldest son and the youngest son was really related to Zhang Hua, why would he help her children to find a future?

A dark light flashed in Chen Changqing's eyes.

"Is this what you mean?"

Mr. Chen asked.

"Ah."

Chen Changqing nodded.

"Okay, as long as you can handle sharing your wife, just pretend I didn't say anything just now."

Standing up, Mr. Chen walked around the desk and said, "If you have something to do, go and do it. I'll go back to my room to see your mother." After he finished speaking, Mr. Chen opened the study door and walked out.

-

When Chen Changqing arrived at his study and just sat down on the chair behind the desk, he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in."

As he spoke, the study door was pushed open.

"Is something wrong?"

Chen Changqing looked at his wife Zhang Hua with a gloomy face.

After closing the study door, Zhang Hua sat on the sofa. She was silent for a moment, then looked up at Chen Changqing and said, "I want to keep Xiaoze in Beijing."

"If you have the ability, go ahead and do it, but if you want to borrow your family's connections or use my name to get things done, once I find out, you and I will go straight to the divorce procedures."

Chen Changqing's tone did not reveal any emotion. Hearing this, Zhang Hua was undoubtedly very angry. Even her expression turned bad at this moment. She complained:

"Why? Why are you so cruel? Xiaoze is my only child now, and I want him to stay in Jing City. It's such a small matter, and you are not willing to help me, to help Xiaoze. Do you treat my child as your own and are just talking about it?!"

"Have you ever talked to me about this topic before? You know exactly how I answered you. Since you know my attitude, why do you want to bring it up again? Although we are only nominal husband and wife, you should know how I have acted over the years."

Zhang Hua stared at Chen Changqing. "Yes, I know you have your principles and never make any special arrangements, but what's the harm in making an exception? If Xiaoze stays in the countryside and farms, what will he achieve in his life?"

Chen Changqing: "For a country to develop, it cannot do without talents. The current situation is only temporary. I believe that things will change in the near future. By then, Xiaoze can naturally return to Beijing."

Zhang Hua: "How long is soon?"

"Just wait. It's only a matter of time before the educated youth return to the city."

Not wanting to chat with Zhang Hua any more, Chen Changqing sat back in her chair and closed her eyes to rest. However, Zhang Hua did not leave. She stood up and walked to the desk, accusing him in a heavier tone: "Chen Changqing, what do you want from me so that you will accept Xiaoze and me from the bottom of your heart?

I have been in the Chen family for many years. I have nothing but the title of Mrs. Chen San. But you should have seen how much I have contributed to this family. But you have always been indifferent to me. I can ignore this, but why can't you do what you said and treat Xiaoze as your own child?"

"How else do you want me to treat you?"

Opening his eyes, Chen Changqing looked at his wife Zhang Hua with sharp eyes and said in a deep voice: "Other children in the family have it, but your child doesn't have it? I provide him with food and drink and send him to school to receive education. How much pocket money do you want to give him? Have I ever participated in the discussion?"

"You... you took care of Xiaoze's food, drink and schooling, but you didn't care how much pocket money I gave Xiaoze, but so what? I am Xiaoze's mother and your wife. Do I need to ask you for permission to give my child some pocket money? Providing Xiaoze with food, drink and schooling is your responsibility as a stepfather. You are bringing this up now. Do you think my son is eating for free in this family?"

Zhang Hua's red eyes were filled with resentment: "As the saying goes, 'people are all made of flesh', but in my opinion, your heart is made of stone. After so many years, you still treat me as an outsider. Chen Changqing, are you worthy of me?"

There was a hint of tears in her voice, but unfortunately, it did not cause any disturbance in Chen Changqing.

"The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant."

Chen Changqing remained expressionless. He said, "You made the decision to stay in this family and marry me as a nominal couple. Otherwise, even if you are just my nominal wife, do you think I will give you this status?"

Standing up, Chen Changqing stared at his wife Zhang Hua, and at the same time, he exuded an intimidating aura. He asked, "Dongsheng almost didn't come back from the mission, and Xiaoze got into an accident and became disabled. Were you behind the scenes in these two things?"

Zhang Hua's heart skipped a beat, and she tried her best to remain calm and not show any sign of abnormality.
