The sound of parking outside the villa interrupted Zhou Dingnan's contemplation, he stood up and came to the door of the hall, and the nanny in the courtyard had already opened the door one step ahead of him. "Madam, Dong Chou is back!" Xue Chunlan just got out of the car, only to see the nanny at home open the door and run out, and said to her impatiently.

Hearing the nanny's words, Xue Chunlan was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't care about her usual image, and walked eagerly towards the door. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhou Dingnan standing in front of the hall and looking at himself.

In less than a week, my husband looks like he is ten years older, there are more gray hairs on his head, he is also emaciated, his body is not as tall as in the past, and the whole person looks haggard and rickety. Seeing this, Xue Chunlan couldn't hold back any longer, and tears burst out of her eyes.

I saw her cover her mouth and throw herself into Zhou Dingnan's arms, lowering her head and twitching constantly.

Zhou Dingnan hugged his wife in his arms tightly, sighed lightly, stretched out his hand to support her chin, looked directly into her eyes, and said gently: "Chunlan, you have suffered these days. ”

Xue Chunlan looked at her husband quietly and said softly: "Old Zhou, why are you not, I am most frightened at home, and Xiaoice and Guo Yang have always been in Zhang Luo outside." ”

Speaking of them, Xue Chunlan couldn't help but think of the conversation with her father, and her expression was a little gloomy for a moment, but her expression was fleeting and did not attract Zhou Dingnan's attention, Xue Chunlan turned slightly sideways, wiped away the tears that were about to drip from the corners of her eyes, and said: "By the way, when you come back today, I have to inform them quickly, and we will celebrate together in the evening."

Xue Chunlan took out the phone to call Zhou Bing as she spoke, but Zhou Dingnan stretched out his hand to stop her. Xue Chunlan looked up at Zhou Dingnan in surprise, only to see that his expression was a little uncertain, and his eyes were a little evasive, Xue Chunlan seemed to call him when he asked: "Old Zhou?"

Hearing his wife's voice, Zhou Dingnan shook his head, sighed, and said in a trembling voice: "Forget it, Chunlan, don't inform them yet, I have something to discuss with you when you come in first." ”

Speaking of which, Xue Chunlan had never seen Zhou Dingnan speak to herself in such a decadent tone, and her heart was suddenly full of doubts, so she put the phone back and listened to Zhou Dingnan's next words quietly.

Zhou Dingnan returned to the sofa and sat down, lit a cigarette again, Xue Chunlan saw that the ashtray in front of him was full of cigarette butts, and couldn't help frowning a little distressedly, but seeing Zhou Dingnan's depressed face, he just sighed lightly and didn't say anything.

"Ahem...... cough ......" Zhou Dingnan choked on a cigarette and coughed violently, Xue Chunlan hurriedly sat beside him when he saw this, gently patted Zhou Dingnan's bowed back, and said with concern: "Is it better, old Zhou? Okay, don't smoke." As he spoke, he took the unburned half of the cigarette between his fingers and pressed it into the ashtray.

After a long while, Zhou Dingnan relieved himself, gently waved Xue Chunlan's hand that was slapping on his back, and breathed a long sigh of relief, he turned his head to look at his wife, looking like he wanted to say something and stopped.

"What's the matter, Old Zhou?" Seeing that Zhou Dingnan's expression was a little abnormal, Xue Chunlan couldn't help but ask. Hearing his wife's inquiry, Zhou Dingnan sighed heavily, lowered his head with a painful face, held his head with both hands, and pulled his hair hard.

Xue Chunlan saw that Zhou Dingnan suddenly became like this, and she didn't care about the reason, so she hurriedly hugged him in her arms, stroked his hair, and comforted him in a low voice.

Zhou Dingnan's excited emotions gradually became stable under Xue Chunlan's comfort. He raised his head and said in a somewhat hoarse voice choked by smoke: "Chunlan, I'm sorry for Guo Yang, and I'm even more sorry for our daughter." ”

Then Zhou Dingnan told his wife what happened in the detention center, including his experience on the way back. Xue Chunlan was silent for a long time after listening to Zhou Dingnan.

"Alas. After a while, Xue Chunlan sighed, turned her head to look at Zhou Dingnan and said, "Actually, I went home this time to see if my father had a solution to this matter, but I never thought that my eldest brother Xue Guangzu had been suspended, and I thought that it was also Zheng Renjie's tricks and feet, it seems that he wanted to warn our Xue family." ”

"This Zheng Renjie is so powerful?" his wife's words surprised Zhou Dingnan, he still knows something about this eldest brother, that is a cadre at the level of a certain ministry and commission in Beijing, and even a background like Zhao San can't move him, but now he is suspended? !

That can only show that Zheng Renjie's background is not necessarily limited to the province, and it is likely to ...... Thinking of this, Zhou Dingnan didn't dare to think about it, if this was the case, it seemed that no matter what he did, there was no point in doing it.

Zhou Dingnan looked at Xue Chunlan with a hint of fear in his eyes. Xue Chunlan and Zhou Dingnan have lived together under the same roof for more than 20 years, and this tacit understanding naturally exists, and she understands what Zhou Dingnan has in mind.

There are many things that you may not be able to see clearly if you are in the game, and this is the case with the so-called authorities. Just like in the Xue family, Xue Chunlan heard the news that her eldest brother was suspended, and her mentality was already confused, and then she heard her father tell Zheng Renjie's background, and she became even more overwhelmed.

But often the truth of the facts is always blind. Now that I think about it, if it was really the family behind Zheng Renjie who instructed him to do this, there was no need to resort to such unscrupulous means.

With the Xue family's family situation, he only needs a piece of paper to transfer his eldest brother Xue Guangzu to a leisure Qingshui Yamen to drink tea and read the newspaper, and this has already achieved the purpose of warning the Xue family. If you want to do something after that, take your time.

Thinking of the means of boiling frogs in warm water, it can not only achieve the goal, but also not cause a strong backlash from the Xue family, and it is safe and controllable to operate. There is no need to use anonymous reporting, which is the most taboo between departments, and it is easy to get out of control.

It can be seen that everything Zheng Renjie has done should be his personal behavior, the most shallow truth, if the Zheng family comes forward directly, the Blue Star Group may have changed hands now, although it is not very good-looking and easy to fall behind, but this is the case.

Thinking of this, Xue Chunlan told Zhou Dingnan the news she got when she went home and her thoughts. Knowing Zheng Renjie's background, Zhou Dingnan couldn't help but gasp, but when he heard Xue Chunlan's next statement, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After Xue Chunlan finished speaking, the living room fell silent. Zhou Dingnan recovered from the silence for a long time and said, "Chunlan, no matter what, let's still prepare with both hands. ”

Xue Chunlan looked at Zhou Dingnan suspiciously, only to hear him continue: "Zheng Renjie's background is indeed not to be underestimated, we can't afford to bet on whether this is his personal behavior or his family's instructions, so we must make a gesture of compromise, even if it is just a gesture, we can follow our father's arrangement for the time being." It doesn't matter if Zheng Renjie wants the shares of the Blue Star Group, I can give it to him, but Xiaoice is our daughter, and it is naturally wishful thinking for him to want to finger stain!"

Speaking of this, a trace of coldness flashed in Zhou Dingnan's eyes, even if he risked his life, he would not let Zheng Renjie succeed.

"Alas, I'm only afraid of Guo Yang's child, and I can't accept it. Xue Chunlan heard her husband's words, shook her head slightly and sighed. Guo Yang's love for Zhou Ill is deeply experienced by herself, and she and Zhou Dingnan have also really experienced this kind of thing. But there is no other way.
