Chen Zhijing, who didn't know what he missed at all, drove fast all the way, and it took only an hour to reach his parents' residence - Qinghe Lanyuan.

Since Chen Zhijing's grandfather Chen Gu passed away more than 20 years ago, the Chen family separated and moved out of the old house they used to live in.For the convenience of the first 20 years, the family lived in a duplex apartment on the second ring road. In these years, Chen Zhijing's father had the idea of ​​retiring, so he bought a villa in Qinghe Lanyuan for retirement.In the beginning, I only lived there for one or two days every weekend, but recently I basically took root there, and most of the company affairs were handed over to Chen Zhijing's brother, Chen Zhimin.

Of course, I won't mention how Ms. Jiang Ruyun acted as a demon for the time being. Anyway, it took a while.

Usually Chen Zhijing doesn't love his family, mainly because he doesn't want to hear his mother talking about the family property. Apart from this, he still likes staying at home very much.

His mother, Jiang Ruyun, is from Guangzhou, and she cooks good food. Don’t talk about anything else when she comes home, the delicious food is enough; his father, Chen Xingguo, has a good temper and a gentle temper. Lovely old man; as for his brother, although he has the nickname of a cold-faced god, he is actually cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he has never been said to him since he was a child.

Such a warm and harmonious family is rare in the wealthy family in the capital. Chen Zhijing loves his family deeply and is willing to protect such a warmth.

Fortunately, Ms. Jiang Ruyun didn't know where to eat the elixir today. From the time he entered the house until it was almost meal time, she didn't mention the old calendar. She touched a few homemade snacks to feed her son, and then ordered them from the kitchen. Let his son taste the good food, which made Chen Zhijing so beautiful.

Chewing the leftover pineapple from making sweet and sour pork, Chen Zhijing couldn't help but leaned up to his father, and whispered, "Dad, did you feed my mother the soup?"

Chen Xingguo, who was holding a tablet computer Doudizhu, glanced at his youngest son from the reading glasses, then at the kitchen, and sighed leisurely: "Boy, he's still a little tender..."

"What do you mean... Hey, why did you make a pair of two! You and the next family are in the same group!"

"What do you know! The next house is wrong!"

"Why not, absolutely!"

"Even if there is, it is not as big as the landlord! Hey, what is the rivalry between me and you, is it you or me?"

"You hit you. If you lose, don't let me make you beans. Be careful that I will complain to grandpa's tablet."

"Hey you brat..."

Chen Zhijing and his father were arguing vigorously, when a familiar voice suddenly broke in: "It's so lively."

The two looked up, and there was a thin, straight-looking man in a suit and carrying a briefcase standing at the gate. He was the father's son and eldest brother, Chen Zhimin, the eldest son of Chen Sanye.

Chen Zhimin, who has just entered the age of [-], is mature and stable. The nasolabial folds on both sides of the nose and the single eyelid inherited from his mother together create a cold face that strangers should not get close to.However, in front of his family, he never pretended to be himself, and his expression was much richer.

For example, at this time, he was obviously surprised and a little puzzled.

"Brother! Why are you here too?" Chen Zhijing straightened up, no less surprised than Chen Zhimin.

Although the contact between the two brothers is very frequent, Chen Zhijing would go to his brother's house to eat and drink from time to time, teasing his nephew and niece.However, it is very rare and strange to meet at parents' house when this is not a weekend, let alone a holiday.

Chen Zhimin has to manage the Bai family's hotel group company, and also take care of the business of the Chen family's import and export trading company. On weekdays, it can be described as being extremely busy. Basically, from Monday to Friday, there is no time to go back to his hometown and enjoy the family relationship with his parents. of joy.Sometimes when I get busy, even on weekends, only Chen Zhijing's sister-in-law takes the children home to visit the elders, while he works overtime at the company.

As for Chen Zhijing, he is well-known in the capital, and for various reasons he doesn't love his family.To be able to bump into Chen Zhimin under such erratic movements is about as difficult as winning the lottery.

"I'm going to go on a business trip to inspect Bai's hotels starting tomorrow, so I took the time to send over the company's documents today." Chen Zhimin raised the briefcase in his hand as a gesture, and continued after a pause, "...Dad knows too."

Chen Zhijing immediately understood the meaning of Chen Zhimin's words, but before he could react, his mother Jiang Ruyun suddenly came out of the kitchen and looked at Chen Zhimin smiling so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes.

"Zhi Min is here! It just so happens that I made your favorite barbecued pork in honey sauce today, I'll leave after dinner, ah!"

Chen Zhimin expressed his thanks politely and distantly: "Okay, thank you Aunt Jiang."

"Why are you being polite to me! The three of you, father and son, chat first, and dinner will be served later."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Ruyun turned and went into the kitchen, while the Chen family father and son who stayed in the living room fell into silence.Barbecued pork in honey sauce is one of Jiang Ruyun's specialty dishes, and the main ingredient, pork, needs to be marinated in advance. Although it may be a coincidence, at this time, it is too coincidental.

Chen Zhijing could only feel an indescribable emotion rushing around in his chest. The smile on his mother's face just now overlapped with his brother's surprise and doubt when he entered the door, making this emotion even more irresistible.He stood up suddenly, and rushed out with his head sullen.

But after walking two steps, his father stopped him with a low shout: "Stop! It's time to eat, where do you want to go?!"

Chen Zhimin also stretched out his hand to grab Chen Zhijing's arm, and pulled him back: "Dad is right, if you leave at this time, the situation will be even more difficult to deal with."

Chen Zhijing looked at Chen Zhimin, his lips moved but he couldn't say a word.He wanted to say that he didn't know, that he was tricked back by his mother, that it was a coincidence that he took the initiative to go home this time.But he wants to say too much, but he doesn't know how to say it, and there is a kind of grievance that "facts speak louder than words" as long as he is here.

The sense of powerlessness mixed with unexplainable grievances made Chen Zhijing's footsteps stilted after the impulsiveness. He was dragged back to the sofa by Chen Zhimin, and he hung his head without saying a word.

"It's just an inspection." Chen Xingguo said calmly after taking off his reading glasses after the two sons sat down.

Hearing this, Chen Zhijing raised his head and looked at his father in shock: "But that's the Bai family..."

"It's just to inspect the hotel," Chen Xingguo calmly interrupted the younger son, glanced at the elder son who seemed to be listening carefully with his eyes downcast, and said calmly, "Your brother plus a few managers, senior Supervisor, inspecting more than 200 hotels is also a hard job. As a younger brother, what does it matter if you do me a favor? It’s not that you can enter the top management of the group by participating in the inspection, so don’t worry about it.”

Chen Zhijing was a little confused.Although what Chen Xingguo said made some sense, participating in the patrol was a signal to outsiders who didn't know what was going on, a signal released by the Chen family that the Chen family, or he, Chen Zhijing, wanted to intervene in the Bai family's business.And this signal is also a clarion call to stir up trouble for some unstable elements within the Baishi International Hotel Group.

Before Chen Zhijing could object, Chen Xingguo said to his elder son: "How many years have you not taken your wife and children out to play? Isn't this a good opportunity?"

...Yes!In this way, Chen Zhijing's desire to intervene in the Bai family's business has become a brother begging his younger brother for a favor, and he sneaks away from his busy schedule to take his wife and children on vacation during inspections...Jiang is really old!

Sensing the complicated eyes of the elder son and the adoring eyes of the younger son, Chen Xingguo put on reading glasses and picked up a tablet computer.

When they got to the dinner table, Jiang Ruyun really spoke.She picked up a piece of barbecued pork with honey sauce for Chen Zhimin, and said in her mouth: "Come on, Zhimin, eat more. I heard from your father that you will start patrolling tomorrow? This is a hard job!"

Chen Zhimin picked up the bowl and took the honey sauce barbecued pork, and replied in a gentle tone: "I'm not the only one going, there are also the managers and supervisors of the group."

"How many people are there?" Jiang Ruyun said angrily, glanced at Chen Zhijing, who was buried in his meal next to Chen Zhimin, and said jokingly, "Why don't you let Zhijing go too? If you do me a favor, you can save a few places."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhimin smiled and said, "If Zhijing is free, of course that would be the best."

Jiang Ruyun didn't expect it to be so smooth at all, and hurriedly said: "He has nothing to do, he hangs around all day long! I'm sorry to hear that! Go to help your brother patrol tomorrow and do something serious!"

Chen Zhijing looked at his mother with surprise eyes, his brother with a smile on his face, and his father who was eating slowly, swallowed the food in his mouth, and lazily drew the end of his voice and said: "Okay——"

Chen Zhijing's answer made Jiang Ruyun happy, and was so excited that he picked several pieces of grunt meat for his son, his face was full of relief that "this child is finally sensible".

The meal was harmonious and friendly, and the atmosphere was warm. When Chen Zhimin went home and Jiang Ruyun went out to play cards, Chen Zhijing walked to the terrace on the third floor, laying on the railing and watching the sunset sink into the shade of the green shadow villa opposite the artificial lake , the chaotic thoughts did not feel washed by the beautiful scenery at all, but became more and more entangled.

When Chen Xingguo brought the wine up, what he saw was his youngest son, who was so aggrieved that he was about to explode with his hair scratched like a chicken coop.He didn't say anything consoling, and directly handed one of the two small wine glasses in his hand to his son: "Come on, let me have a drink."

Chen Zhijing held the small wine glass, watched the watery liquor flow into the glass, smelled the unique aroma of Moutai, and felt that there was nothing more suitable for him at this moment.

After drinking for three rounds, Chen Zhijing couldn't help asking: "Dad...why didn't you let me go? You still want me to participate in the round?"

Chen Xingguo held the wine glass, sipped it lovingly, looked at the artificial lake shrouded in night, and said in a low voice: "You think your brother can believe that you are innocent after you leave? The first time he believed you, the second He also believed in you once, but if there are too many times, no amount of trust will be polished. At this stage, it is useless to escape, and we have to find a way to resolve it."

Chen Zhijing stared blankly at the shadows of trees undulating in the darkness, as if he saw the old house surrounded by guards that the brothers lived in when they were children, and saw himself who was taken care of by his brother when his parents were busy in his childhood.

Feeling the slight trembling of his younger son's body, Chen Xingguo sighed and downed the wine in the glass without following the doctor's advice.

That night, Chen Zhijing and his father drank on the terrace until his mother returned home after playing cards.Because it was too late, he drank a lot, so he lived in Qinghe Lanyuan. When he was lying on the bed drunk and half asleep, he was still thinking about——

Luggage... Forget it, let's buy what you need...

I have to go to Bai's tomorrow morning...

Strange, why always feel as if I forgot something...
