Guan Shaoqing and Lin Huimei were stunned for a moment, and at the same time raised their heads to look at Liu Chen.

"Do you mean Xiaomei, her biological father?" Guan Shaoqing confirmed.

Liu Chen nodded and said: "Yes, I said before that I would give their mother and daughter a fee of 50 million, and I have already given him a few days of grace time, and he can't rely on this." ”

Guan Shaoqing didn't ask about this matter, after all, his focus was on Lin Huimei and Xiaomei, he shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, he didn't call either, Huimei, has he contacted you?"

Lin Huimei also shook her head: "No." ”

Thinking that Zhen Ming hadn't called for so long, coupled with his parents' reaction, Liu Chen was worried that Zhen Ming hadn't dealt with this matter actively, so he said to his father: "I'll ask him to transfer to the bank card I got for you, you go to the ATM downstairs at night to have a look, if not, call me, and I'll contact him again." ”

Guan Shaoqing suddenly persuaded: "Xiao Chen, this matter is actually not so urgent, 50 million is also a very large amount, and it is understandable that he can't take it out for a while." ”

Liu Chen looked at his father's side in surprise and asked, "Dad, when will you think about him?"

Guan Shaoqing glanced at Lin Huimei and explained with a smile: "Hehe, I am not in it for money with him, now that I am with their mother and daughter, I am content, and I don't hate him so much." ”

Lin Huimei continued Guan Shaoqing's words and said: "This money will also enter your fund at that time and be used to invest in Ningzhou County, we don't know much about these things, so we need Xiaochen to pay more attention to it." ”

Liu Chen thought for a while and said, "It's okay, so be it, you can live a good life in the future, and I'll contact him over there." ”

Liu Chen was reminded of a lot of things when he was invested in Ningzhou County, and he promised the county magistrate Chang Ming that he would implement the investment in Ningzhou County as soon as possible, but now a period of time has passed, and there is no progress in the slightest, and his side is also slightly in trouble, so he feels a little difficult to explain to the magistrate of Chang County.

Regarding this investment, Liu Chen needs to pull in other investments in addition to his own stars, and on the side of Qin Si and Lang Song, the two of them have not made a clear statement for a long time. Zhen Ming's 50 million is indeed enough, but it is impossible for Liu Chen to invest all the compensation money in Ningzhou County, and he has to leave some money for his parents and Xiaomei to guarantee their future lives.

If the investment here cannot be put in place in time, then Zhen Ming's withdrawal over there will bring some trouble to the county magistrate Chang, so Liu Chen plans to implement this matter as soon as possible, and he can't make the county magistrate feel that he is a person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, after all, the county magistrate Chang has also made a lot of efforts to solve the matter of Aunt Lin and Xiaomei.

Liu Chen couldn't drink too much, and after a few bites of food, he got off the table, he was going to prepare for tonight's action, Qi Dongsi had already sent a message and was waiting for him at the jungle tribe bar.

Liu Chen washed some fruits for everyone, rested for a while, and waited until his parents had finished eating before he was ready to get up and leave.

Before leaving, Liu Chen went to the bathroom to wash his face, stared at himself in the mirror for a long time, turned around and suddenly dropped something, he looked down, it turned out to be a flying knife, he wondered for a while, this thing can still fall out, is he equipped?

Bending down to pick up the flying knife and reinserting the equipment belt, Liu Chen opened the door and walked out, and found that Xiaomei was poking out half of her little head from the open door of her room, greeting him and signaling to go over.

Seeing that Xiaomei was so mysterious, Liu Chen walked over quickly and entered Xiaomei's room, and asked in a low voice, "Xiaomei, what's wrong?"

Xiaomei closed the door, walked to the desk, and took something out of it: "Brother, I have a small gift for you." ”

Liu Chen was pleasantly surprised: "Hehe, is it, what kind of gift?"

"You close your eyes first. Mei continued to maintain a high degree of mystery before taking the gift out of her school bag.

Liu Chen closed his eyes with a smile, imagining all kinds of possibilities in his mind, what kind of gift would Xiaomei give him? But compared to the expectation of the gift, he enjoyed the feeling of the moment more, the feeling of being shrouded in Xiaomei's emotion, no matter what gift he gave, it was enough to be called a surprise for him.

Liu Chen quietly waited for Xiaomei's command to open his eyes.

I could only hear a rustling sound, and after the sound stopped, Xiaomei's voice finally came from my ears: "You can open your eyes." ”

Liu Chen opened his eyes, and the picture that caught his eyes shocked and moved, Xiaomei held a framed sketch in his hand, the picture was a man and a woman sitting in the car, the man in the cab and the girl in the co-pilot were looking at each other, full of strong love, in front of the car, there was an endless road to the unknown distance, there were flowers and grass, trees and birds, and a round of hopeful sunrise.

The characters in the painting are so realistic, Liu Chen recognized them at a glance, the man is himself, the girl is Li Rongfei, and the fragment described in the whole picture is the picture that Xiaomei saw on the way to school together in the morning.

I didn't expect this ordinary scene to be reflected in the painting, but it was so warm and romantic.

"This ...... You painted this?" Liu Chen asked blankly, staring at the painting.

"Yes. Xiaomei pursed her lips and nodded.

The corners of Liu Chen's mouth raised, "I didn't expect you to have such a strong talent for painting." He tried to ignore the ultimate purpose of Xiaomei's gift of the painting, pretending not to understand the real intention.

Xiaomei doesn't care about her brother's praise, she has been brewing emotions for a long time, too many words, at this moment, she made a voice from the bottom of her heart: "Brother, this painting is for you and your sister-in-law, in fact, I feel that my sister-in-law likes you very much, when I went to find her after school today, although her words were a little heavy, I can clearly see the distress and unbearable in her eyes, no matter what happens between you, don't cold war, don't let go of each other's hands, cherish each other, behind any misunderstanding, it's because of love." ”

Liu Chen was deeply moved by Xiaomei's words, he didn't expect Xiaomei to have such a perception as a high school student, but he didn't know how to cherish it, a small misunderstanding was regarded as an excuse for being tired, obviously he cared about it in his heart, but he regarded it as an indifferent look, but he didn't know that any love couldn't withstand deliberate tossing and consumption, let go of his hand, if he didn't catch it in time, he would not be able to keep up with each other's rhythm, and there would be no chance to hold it again.

Liu Chen's eyes were a little moist unconsciously, and a certain place in his heart was strongly touched, he reached out and took the painting handed over by Xiaomei, and then gave Xiaomei a big hug, "Thank you, Xiaomei, my brother knows what to do." ”

Xiaomei also hugged her brother tightly, gently closed her eyes, and a crystal clear light flashed quietly in the corners of her eyes.

After letting go of the hug, Liu Chen touched Xiaomei's face and said softly: "Brother is going to deal with something tonight, you take your father's bank card to help them see if there is any money in the card, I'm afraid they won't figure it out, when the time comes, you can call me, no, just send me a message, this matter is very important to me." ”

"Okay, I know, brother, don't worry. ”

Liu Chen nodded, then turned around and walked out of Xiaomei's room, saying goodbye to his parents who were cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, Liu Chen noticed a very warm scene, his father, who rarely washes dishes, took the initiative to help in the kitchen today, hehe, it seems that from today onwards, Dad's living habits will change.

"Dad, Mom, I'm out. ”

"Okay, stay safe outside. ”

"Got it. ”

Liu Chen came downstairs, got into his car, looked up at the lights of the house upstairs, put Xiaomei's painting in the co-pilot's drawer, and then started the car and rushed to the jungle tribe bar.

The Jungle Tribe Bar is located on Zhongxing Street, not far from the Penghu Bay Community, and it happens to pass the Starlight Bar in the middle.

Liu Chen pressed the horn a few times, which attracted Xiao Zhi's attention, and just as Xiao Zhi looked this way, Liu Chen hooked his finger at him.

Seeing that it was Liu Chen coming, Xiao Zhi hurriedly ran over and greeted: "Brother Liu, why do you park the car here and go in and sit for a while." ”

Liu Chen smiled and refused: "No need, I have other things to deal with, by the way, there is something I need your help with." ”

"What's the hurry?" Xiao Zhi suddenly became excited when he heard Liu Chen ask him for help.

Liu Chen took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Zhi: "Do what is written on this piece of paper, if you can't finish it alone, you can go to Wusheng for help." ”

Xiao Zhi was full of curiosity about this note, and was about to open it, but was stopped by Liu Chen: "Open it when you're alone, I'll go first." ”

"Okay, Brother Liu, let's get busy first. ”

Liu Chen stretched out his hand and put a ride on Xiao Zhi's shoulder, and continued to drive towards the jungle tribe.

The business of the jungle tribe does not seem to have become bleak because of the rumors from the outside world, although from Ji Linyuan's mouth, I learned that the actual operation of the jungle tribe is not as good as it seems from the outside, but at least the daily traffic is still relatively stable.

Liu Chen came to the parking lot at the entrance of the jungle tribe, turned off the car and was about to walk to the bar, when suddenly he saw two familiar figures, just opposite a glass restaurant, Li Rongfei and that Yi Shengli were eating face to face!

This scene instantly touched Liu Chen's heart, stabbing it fiercely, Xiaomei's blessing still echoed in her ears, and she was thinking about her expectations for a better future all the way, but she was slapped hard by the cruel reality of the scene in front of her, loud and ruthless.

Liu Chen finally realized what it was like for Xiaodong to see Tong Xinyan eating with another man that night, this kind of taste was like being slashed by a ****, and there was no bleeding, it was extremely painful, almost suffocating.
