Chen Zhu arrived not long after.
After knocking on the door and entering, I immediately sensed an unusual atmosphere with my keen "smell" developed in the officialdom.
But his expression remained unchanged, and he greeted Grandma Yu, Lao Yu and the cosplayer as usual.
Until I saw Tang Xiangyue on the balcony, I understood everything instantly.
"Come on, come on, be careful here..."
Chen Zu calmly directed the furniture store master to place the entrance screen, and even introduced it calmly: "Grandma, uncle, this is made of rosewood."
"Although it is not the precious small-leaf red sandalwood, it is still a kind of red sandalwood. It not only looks good when placed at home, but also has a calming fragrance."
Chen Zhu is now like that kind of son-in-law in the 1980s, who would go to his father-in-law's house to chop wood and carry water during the holidays to show his courtesy.
Grandma Yu doesn’t know what “red sandalwood” is.
But she saw that the two masters were struggling to place them, so the texture and density must be very good.
"Isn't this a lot of money?"
grandma asked.
If this is a normal gift to others, the other party will ask about the price.
Chen Zhu would say:
I don’t know how much it cost. My friend went abroad and couldn’t take it with him, so he gave it to me.
I don’t understand these things, and I don’t even know how to maintain them. In the end, they might even be used as bed boards.
I heard that your leader has researched on these things. Could you please take care of them?
Anyway, it is through "devaluing this thing as hard as possible so that the other party can accept it without any psychological barriers."
Of course, as long as the other party is really knowledgeable, he must know the true value.
But this is Yu Xian's grandma, and she will be no different from her family members in the future, so Chen Zhu made a joke: "Grandma, we don't talk about money, we talk about fate."
"Putting it at home makes you feel good. Adding new items for the New Year is a good sign."
Chen Zhu said with gestures.
"When I see you spending money, I feel bad!"
Grandma and granddaughter are exactly the same, they are both the type of women who manage the house.
Seeing that Chen Zhu was trying to fool him, she simply asked the master: "Can I still return this? Are there any wooden screens that cost more than 100 yuan?"
The two masters were just delivering goods. They didn't know how to answer and looked at Chen Zhu with some embarrassment.
Chen Zhu smiled and waved his hand, indicating that they could just leave.
"Grandma, it's really not worth much."
Chen Zhu still didn't answer and picked up the pink thermos cup on the table. He knew it was Yu Xian's cup.
"There's yesterday's water inside, and it's all cold."
Yu Xian picked up the teapot: "I'll change it to a hot one for you."
"It feels better when it's cold. I was so thirsty moving up and down in the furniture store."
Chen Zhu didn't listen to the advice, raised his head and took two sips.
"Be careful of stomachaches in the future!"
Yu Xian pouted and said.
"You can also take care of your stomachache."
Chen Zhu replied unceremoniously.
Yu Xian stopped talking and lightly hit Chen Zhu on the shoulder.
Grandma and Yu Xiaoliang both pretended not to see the intimate behavior between the young lovers, but they could personally understand that the relationship between the two was indeed very good.
After Chen Zhu drank the water, wiped his mouth and walked a few steps, he suddenly closed the security door with a "bang" sound.
The family suddenly became quiet, and only three generations of the Yu family, including Chen Zhu and Tang Xiangyue, were left.
Chen Zhu is not considered an outsider.
So who is the outsider?
Tang Xiangyue's eyelids twitched wildly.
When Chen Zhu closed the door just now, he didn't know if it was an illusion. Tang Xiangyue always felt that Chen Zhu did this action out of anger.
"Are you ready to vent your anger now?"
Tang Xiangyue guessed uneasily. Even though her face was so swollen that she couldn't see her expression, the trace of fear could still be revealed from the subtle movements.
She didn't really want to jump off the building, it was just a means of coercion.
But this method only works for kind people.
Chen Zhu, is he considered a good person?
But what Tang Xiangyue didn't expect was that when Chen closed the door and turned around, there was still a smile on his face.
And he asked casually: "Uncle Yu, why is your lover here?"
"Forehead……"
Yu Xiaoliang blinked. He originally planned to ask in a subtle way, but he didn't expect Chen Zhu to take the initiative to inquire.
This initiative made Lao Yu freeze on the spot for a while, muttering: "Well... that's it... that's it..."
In the end, the cos sister couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Tang Xiangyue said that you called those people here yesterday..."
During Yu Xian's narration, Chen Zhu looked calm and chuckled from time to time, as if he was sighing, "This is too outrageous."
"Director Chen."
After Yu Xian finished speaking, he looked at his boyfriend: "Is what Tang Xiangyue said true?"
The eyes of several people in the family, including Tang Xiangyue on the balcony, were all focused on Chen Zhu.
In fact, Grandma Yu is not very clear about the specific situation.
The cos sister trusts her boyfriend 100%.
Lao Yu just wanted to know the truth, in case Chen Zhuzhen had any dealings with those gangsters.
That……
That may also have his difficulties and reasons.
"Of course it's fake."
However, Chen Zhu's crisp response made Lao Yu take a long breath. He still hoped that his "son-in-law" would not have anything to do with those people.
"I don't understand what Aunt Tang is talking about at all."
Chen Zhu blinked and said innocently.
"You don't understand?"
Tang Xiangyue never expected that Chen Zhu would not admit it.
This made her feel even more aggrieved than refusing to help outright.
"I really don't know."
Chen Zhu had a calm look on his face: "Aunt Tang said that I knew those people and were still chatting and laughing together. Do you have any evidence?"
"evidence?"
Where could Tang Xiangyue have this thing, he was immediately blocked here.
"By the way, I remember that the banquet hall is under surveillance."
Chen Zhu even reminded: "Aunt Tang might as well go back and adjust it. If there is any footage of me communicating with that group of people, you can bring it over and show it to everyone."
"Adjust monitoring?"
Tang Xiangyue also remembered that there was indeed a camera in the banquet hall.
But no one knows why Chen Zhu is so confident.
In other words, he was very confident that he wouldn't be able to adjust it at all.
"besides."
Chen Zhu continued: "Aunt Tang said that I went to your brother's company yesterday to submit evidence, but do you know?"
"I stayed here until 9pm yesterday."
Chen Zhu pointed to the sofa in the living room: "Just sit on it and watch TV."
As soon as he said these words, Yu Xiaoliang completely woke up.
Chen Zhu was indeed at home yesterday and even had dinner together. How could he have time to report Tang Quan!
"At this point, you still want to come here and lie to us?"
Lao Yu said sadly.
He himself was completely disappointed with Tang Xiangyue, but he just felt that this was already the case, and she still wanted to play some tricks.
Not only is it boring, but it also underestimates our IQ!
"Chen will you be here in the afternoon and evening?"
Now it was Tang Xiangyue's turn to be dumbfounded.
Lao Yu is a man who cannot lie, so this reaction means that it is indeed true.
But sister-in-law Jin Guihua said clearly that she asked her eldest brother’s colleagues, and a man who called himself [Chen Zhu] went to the company’s front desk to submit evidence.
"What's going on..."
Tang Xiangyue felt as if she had been trapped in a maze, with no clue at all.
"You send her away."
Yu Xian said to Lao Yu: "I don't want to see her again. Also, if she comes here again to cause trouble, don't blame me for being rude!"
Lao Yu's heart tightened, he knew his daughter's temper, and if he said you were not polite, you really would not be polite.
"Let's go."
Lao Yu walked to the balcony and persuaded Tang Xiangyue to leave.
Although Tang Xiangyue was bypassed, she also knew that if she left today, her brother and the Tang family would be completely finished.
So I clung to the balcony guardrail with all my might and adopted a decisive attitude of "I won't leave until the problem is solved."
"It's really outrageous!"
Grandma Yu was not used to this kind of woman. She twisted her chubby body, rushed into the kitchen and took out a rolling pin.
Seeing this, I plan to blow it down with a stick and finish the job.
"mom!"
Lao Yu was startled and rushed to stop him.
Even if you want to divorce in the future, there is no need to do this.
Even Chen Zhu felt this was inappropriate.
He held down the rolling pin in grandma's hand and patiently advised: "Grandma, we are civilized people. We can talk, but we can't use force. If you hurt someone, you not only have to pay but also have to go to jail. It's not worth it."
Grandma Yu thought for a while and probably felt that what her grandson-in-law said made sense.
Then he threw away the rolling pin and said angrily: "You are so sensible, and that woman still said that you were involved with gangsters outside. It's all nonsense!"
Chen Zhu was very calm: "She doesn't understand, we educated people are not as knowledgeable as her."
"He really hangs out with those people!"
Tang Xiangyue's chest was about to explode with anger.
It felt like she knew that 1+1=2, but everyone, under Chen Zhu's guidance, believed that "1+1=3" was the truth.
"Aunt Tang is too persistent."
Chen Zhu shook his head regretfully, pondered for a moment and said, "I usually don't have any hobbies. I just like reading. I have read a lot of psychology publications. I have some understanding of people like Aunt Tang. Why don't you let me give you some advice alone?"
"alone?"
Lao Yu was startled, what kind of request was this?
"Of course I'm not avoiding you completely."
Chen Zhu said: "Just pull up the balcony door, and you can watch TV and talk in the living room."
"Because I'm worried that if the analysis is too profound, in front of everyone, she can't stand the stimulation and does something stupid."
Chen Zhu went out of his way to explain.
Lao Yu had personal experience with this young man's "knife-like" language, and he still has lingering fears.
So he nodded and said, "Then take your time. If you can solve the problem, we will solve it. If you can't solve it, we will call 110."
"Know."
Chen Zhu gave Yu Xian another "reassuring" look, and then slowly and unhurriedly pulled the balcony glass door shut with a "bang" sound.
"what are you up to?"
Tang Xiangyue immediately became nervous, although she was not sure why what her sister-in-law said was different from the actual situation.
However, Chen Zhu did chat and laugh with those thugs who acted recklessly.
On the balcony, Chen Zhu didn't speak at first.
At this time, the sun has completely risen, and there is a vast expanse of white everywhere, as if it wants to fill all the emptiness between heaven and earth.
Chen Zhu raised his head and squinted his eyes, enjoying the comfort of the sun shining on his face.
Tang Xiangyue stood beside him blankly, a little at a loss.
After a while, Chen Zhu finally spoke:
"In fact, people and plants are the same. The more they yearn for the sunshine from high places, the more their roots have to stretch into the dark underground, so that they can absorb nutrients that sunlight cannot bring."
It's a pity that Tang Xiangyue's level is too low and she didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.
Seeing her confused look, Chen Zhu didn't take it seriously and just said it more clearly:
"Although I wasn't the one who went to your brother's company yesterday to deliver materials, I was the one who sent them to my subordinates."
"you……"
Tang Xiangyue's face was full of shock: "You admitted it?"
She turned around and wanted to tell others this fact.
But when I looked up, I suddenly found Grandma Yu, Yu Xiaoliang and Yu Xian talking in the living room separated by a glass door.
Occasionally, they looked here, with their eyes full of trust in Chen Zhu, as well as disgust and disgust for themselves.
Tang Xiangyue was about to push open the balcony glass door, but when she saw this scene, she slowly retracted her arm.
Even if I tell them, will anyone believe me?
No!
They must feel that they are sowing discord again.
The young man in front of him knew this would be the result, so he told the truth boldly, without scruples, and without any concealment.
"What a deep city and scheming."
Tang Xiangyue really felt like she was being played with. After a moment, she asked feebly: "Then what do you mean now?"
"I just want to tell you."
Chen Zhu didn't look at Tang Xiangyue at all, as if all her reactions were expected.
"I can send your brother in, and I can also send you in."
Chen's clothes were light and airy, as if he was talking about something rare and ordinary, as simple as asking "What are we going to eat tonight?"
But to Tang Xiangyue's ears, it was like a thunder exploded in his mind.
Her first reaction was to recall all the bad things she had done from birth to now.
"I, I haven't done anything illegal!"
Tang Xiangyue pretended to be tough and she really didn't think about it.
"If you say no, then there is no?"
Chen Zhu held the balcony with both hands and looked into the distance: "Before your brother was arrested, he might not have thought that it was a crime. Besides..."
Chen Zhu glanced at Tang Xiangyue lightly: "Even if you really don't have it, I can still find a way to let you have it."
This sight made Tang Xiangyue's hair stand on end.
The sun was shining brightly on me, but I couldn't help but shiver.
"You, what do you want?"
Tang Xiangyue's facial muscles were so frightened that they lost control.
She wanted to cry, regret, and blame herself.
Lao Yu is actually a very good husband. If he lives a normal life like this, why do he still have wishful thinking about other people's houses?
Chen Zhu did not reply to her immediately, but made a loving gesture to the cosplayer inside through the glass door.
Yu Xian knew what it meant, and made a love sign with his thumb and index finger in response.
Tang Xiangyue looked at Chen Zhu with a bright smile and youthful sunshine.
It's really hard to connect this image with the person who just said, "Even if you don't have it, I can still find a way to let you have it."
“So this is the real successful person?”
Tang Xiangyue suddenly realized something.
He looks approachable, low-key and doesn't want to be in the limelight at all, and there is no trace of ferocity or aggression on his face.
On the contrary, like the elder brother, he goes around pretending that he is very powerful, but in fact it is superficial and ridiculous.
"I can leave right away!"
Tang Xiangyue finally figured out that she could not save her brother and break up with her sister-in-law, but she could not go on like this.
What if one day there is a commotion and someone really "gets jumped from the building"?
There are also little leaves.
Chen Zhu was not surprised at all and smiled lightly: "You figured it out so quickly?"
"I figured it out!"
Tang Xiangyue nodded heavily, she felt that at this moment she was the most real and clear version of herself.
Sometimes a person's enlightenment may only take a second.
Just a moment ago I was worried and didn't know what to do.
The next moment, my thoughts suddenly came to me and I felt, "It's actually not bad."
The most important thing is to learn to "let go".
Seeing that Tang Xiangyue decided to let go of Tang Quan, she immediately felt that she didn't have so many worries anymore.
"Since you can figure it out, let's end the whole thing here."
Chen Zhu reminded by the way: "You and some of Uncle Yu's colleagues in the company also saw what happened at the birthday banquet and may accidentally let it slip."
"Leave it to me!"
Tang Xiangyue said decisively: "As long as you let Lao Yu live with me for another two months, he will believe whatever you want him to believe about what happened yesterday."
Chen Zhu sneered and saw through Tang Xiangyue's inner thoughts: "You just don't want to divorce Uncle Yu."
Tang Xiangyue opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't dare to hide it, and said in a begging tone: "I don't want to divorce Lao Yu, can you give me another chance? I swear it will never be like before, and I will take good care of him.
In my life, I will treat Yu Xian generously, I will..."
"Don't tell me."
Chen Zhu waved his hand and interrupted: "This has nothing to do with me, as long as you don't harass Yu Xian and grandma."
"As for whether Uncle Yu wants to divorce you."
Chen Zhu turned around and stood in front of the glass door of the balcony, and said nonchalantly: "I don't care!"
After saying that, the glass door opened with a "clatter".
The sunshine in the sky was like dense milk, pouring into the living room instantly and imprinted on the wooden floor, making them look as cute as square clouds.
Perhaps the human world is like a bright girl, occasionally having a bad temper, but overall the sky is clear.
"How about it?"
When Yu Xian saw her boyfriend coming back, she stood up and asked about the result.
Chen Zuo smiled and shook his head, indicating to Tang Xiangyue to speak on his own.
"I'm sorry, auntie, Lao Yu, Yu Xian."
Tang Xiangyue went up and bowed: "Those people yesterday were sent by my brother's competitors, and those people were actually the ones who exposed him for breaking the law."
"I just wanted to get your help, so I made up this reason."
Tang Xiangyue bowed again sincerely to express her apology.
"That's not right."
Yu Xiaoliang was a little confused: "If you are looking for a reason to ask for help, shouldn't you make up something about me? Why should you involve Chen Zhu?"
"because……"
Tang Xiangyue replied blankly to Lao Yu: "I think he is more mature than you in every aspect of speaking and doing things."
"All right."
Yu Xiaoliang sighed, he had nothing to say.
"Director Chen."
Sister cos also felt very strange: "Why did she suddenly admit her mistake honestly?"
"Maybe it was my sincerity and kindness that touched her."
Chen Chu said shyly.
Chapter completed!
