Chapter 38: Birthday Party

"I'm back. ”

The middle-aged man who was reading the newspaper in the living room on the first floor heard the sound of the door opening, whispered, put down the newspaper in his hand in an instant, and got up to look at Chen Lei.

"Well, I'm back, where's my mother?" Chen Lei said softly.

The relationship between father and son is like this, always revealing a trace of emotion in silence, although it is very bland, but it is not enough for outsiders.

"Are you going to stay for a few days?" Chen Weimin looked resolute and angular, and looked at Chen Lei with scrutiny on his whole face.

Chen Lei sat on the sofa by the way, picked up the fruit on the coffee table and took a bite, although there was that touch, but he didn't express it, you must know that in his previous life, he walked to the top realm, overlooking the living beings of all beings, and all emotions could not burst out.

has always been able to hide, not to mention that he is not the kind of person who is good at expressing emotions, in the long years when all his relatives died, he could only stand in the place where his relatives fell, standing there for a long time without leaving, and his upright back contained sadness.

"Your mother is on a business trip, and she won't come back from the long vacation, oh, by the way, your mother's cousin's daughter is here, and you will entertain me and your mother tomorrow." ”

As soon as he got home, his father assigned Chen Lei a task, during the long vacation, his mother was not at home, and he had to take care of his mother's cousin's daughter, which was a bit of a headache for Chen Lei, if it was in his previous life, he would definitely have a headache.

But now I don't think so, just come, it's not a simple thing to entertain, whether it's these things like eating and shopping, it's not a big deal, it's completely within Chen Lei's grasp.

"Let's go eat, your Aunt Xia just made it. Chen Weimin opened his mouth and said.

Aunt Xia is the nanny arranged for Chen Weimin by the organization, taking care of the leader's family, after all, when she arrives at Chen Lei's father's position, there are a lot of things to do, and the problems to deal with are very important, and it is impossible to be busy in the kitchen every day.

Hearing this, he got up and went to the kitchen, Aunt Xia's room was next to the kitchen, and there was a sound of pots and pans colliding in the kitchen, it should be Aunt Xia washing dishes, Aunt Xia came with her father from the imperial capital, she was the old man of the Chen family, and when she was in the Chen family, she was responsible for the diet and living of Chen Lei's family.

Now that Chen Weimin is serving in Guangdong Province, he followed Chen Weimin over, and after Chen Lei entered the kitchen, he saw Aunt Xia packing up her things.

"Aunt Xia, you're busy. Chen Lei suddenly spoke, which made Aunt Xia, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, really startled.

Aunt Xia turned around and patted her chest, looked at Chen Lei with a little disgust, and said, "Leizi, are you going to scare me to death?"

"Aunt Xia, don't blame, don't blame, just kidding. Chen Lei showed a smile on his face and patted her shoulder.

"I'm going home during the National Day holiday, just rest and rest, Chen Shoufu and Mrs. Xu have been thinking about you for a long time. Aunt Xia said as she cleaned up her things.

"I'm not sure how long I'll be this time, so I'll have to entertain my mother's cousin's daughter tomorrow." Chen Lei picked up the rice next to him and ate a few bites, and said.

"You said Wu Xiaomo's daughter, I remember that the girl also came last year, and that time it seems that Mrs. personally entertained, it is said that they have a class reunion every year, and every time they are in the club in Guangzhou.

I didn't have a place to live here, so I arranged to come here, and my wife also instructed us before leaving, so that I could come back and tell you about it, and handle this matter well. Aunt Xia finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks and said softly.

Aunt Xia explained the things Chen Lei also took to heart, after all, at that time, it was also the things that his mother explained, he had to take this matter seriously, put down the dishes and chopsticks, Chen Lei went back to his room, and when he passed by the living room, Chen Weimin also gave him a note.

The thing written on it was the cousin's phone number, Chen Lei took the note, looked at it carefully, edited and entered the information of the note into his mobile phone, and then returned to his bedroom.

The bedroom is still the familiar layout of the past, quietly groping every position in the bedroom, carefully feeling the memories around me, remembering the previous life, when Chen Lei returned here again, the development of Guangdong Province can no longer be described in today's language.

Everything has changed, Chen Lei can only stand here and yell three times, mourning his relatives, after all, when they were in prison, they had no way to see each other, they could only say that they saw things and thought about people.

"Chen Lei, come down. At this time, Chen Weimin's voice came from the living room.

"Okay. Chen Lei responded.

Opening the bedroom door, Chen Lei appeared in the corridor on the second floor, and at this moment in the living room, Chen Weimin was talking to a middle-aged man, and the two should be discussing work.

"Leizi, pour you a glass of water for Uncle Wen. "Father Chen Weimindao.

There must be a reason for this move, the middle-aged man surnamed Wen in front of him, named Wen Yuliang, Chen Lei happens to know, is one of the elders of the cabinet of the Guangdong Provincial Government, in charge of the laws and regulations of Guangdong Province, that is, the leader of the political and legal system, and is the most important leader of Guangdong Province.

Slightly confused, I don't know what my father called him down for purpose, so he could only pour tea for him according to his wishes, and Chen Lei should not have been in contact with them in these conversations, but now that his father called him over, he must have his thoughts.

After pouring the water, Chen Lei sat next to him, only listening to Wen Yuliang, and said: "Chen Shoufu, Leizi is back, it just so happens that Wen Xi is going to invite you over to today's birthday banquet."

Why don't you come with Leizi?"

"Hehe, no need, Comrade Yu Liang, just let Chen Lei go.

But to tell you a little bit, you should know the requirements of the imperial capital, and you must have a grasp of it. Chen Weimin opened his mouth and said bluntly, Wen Yuliang is not from a family, and he is not particularly sensitive to some issues.

In recent years, the monarch has been a little tight about such incidents, and it is reasonable for Wen Yuliang to hold a birthday banquet for his daughter.

But it is unreasonable to invite him to the capital, just because of his special status, if it is involved, it is related to politics. Although Chen Weimin wants the support of Wen Yuliang's cabinet, he is absolutely not allowed to appear on such an occasion.

A pun, this can be regarded as a reminder to the other party, Wen Yuliang changed color slightly.

The appearance of his son Chen Lei is also a statement, and there will be no suspicion of violating the monarch's requirements, which can be regarded as the most appropriate method.

"Thank you, Capital Chen. When Chen Weimin asked him to grasp it, his face turned pale.

His thinking is immature, it can be said that he was negligent and did not take into account some things, and at this point, he could only hang his head, Chen Weimin refused, and let Chen Lei attend.

It is already regarded as benevolence and righteousness, and it is also a disguised idea of accepting him to stand in line, and when Chen Lei sent Wen Yuliang away, Chen Weimin felt relaxed in his heart, and the suspicion that had shrouded Guangdong Province for many years was finally unveiled today.

Chen Weimin sat in the living room for a long time, until Chen Lei reappeared, and finally had a trace of expression on his face, there were some things he couldn't say.

And Chen Lei at this moment is not Chen Lei in his previous life, he has no intention of interfering in these things, if someone plots to kill his father, Chen Lei will definitely intervene.

Chen Lei remembered that he did not return to Guangdong Province during the National Day holiday in his previous life, but went to the imperial capital to see the old man.

After the National Day, he was decisively imprisoned, and he was a member of the cabinet of the capital city who fell before his father.

Go to the banquet and go through the motions, so far, his father has the ability to keep it, and he will not be afraid of going through the troubled waters.

————————

Guangdong Province.

Guangshi.

An unknown manor.

It is this place that has become a place where dignitaries and nobles secretly hold banquets, and this place is basically an undisclosed secret in Guangdong Province, including Chen Weimin, who also knows it, but he has not done anything.

All kinds of luxury cars were parked in front of the manor, and a large number of dignitaries and dignitaries appeared outside the manor, among which Wen Yuliang of Guangdong Province was the leader, standing there to greet the guests, and Chen Lei also took a taxi to the place, and saw Chen Lei at a glance.

"You guys get busy first, Ya'er, you accompany me over to pick up Chen Gongzi. Wen Yuliang looked at the lady beside him and said.

"Gongzi Chen?" the lady wondered, as if there was no son-in-law surnamed Chen in the circle of Guangdong Province.

"The son of the capital, studying in the East China Sea, you don't know. Wen Yuliang told his wife what he knew, and said.

The noble lady is Wen Yuliang's wife, the daughter of Geng Wei, one of the former cabinet members of Guangdong Province, Geng Ya.

"Leizi, you're here. ”

While the guests were passing by, their eyes fell on Chen Lei, as if they wanted to see what was different about him, after all, where Wen Yuliang's identity was placed, and his every move touched the hearts of many people.

"Well, Uncle Wen, my dad asked me to come and have a look. Chen Lei's own casual clothes are plain, and no one can think that this is the son of a provincial capital.

"Okay, Chen Shoufu asked you to come over, then you must have fun when you come, come, Uncle Wen will take you in." Wen Yuliang was very enthusiastic.

In fact, the husband and wife each have ghosts, as for what the idea is, I'm afraid no one knows, Chen Lei stepped into this manor, he drove here in his previous life, it was very famous at that time, it was called the Golden Ocean, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is a gold cave.

The furnishings and layout of the manor are almost the same as in his previous life, and Wen Yuliang always walks in front of him, like a hotel waiter, guiding Chen Lei to a position that he thinks he attaches more importance to.

Looking at the surrounding environment, all of them were some dignitaries dressed gorgeously, holding goblets, talking and laughing, drinking and talking, Chen Lei sat there alone, looking very lonely, he didn't care about this, night practice is the most critical moment.

Now that he is being mixed up by such things, it is really impossible to catch up with the changes, Chen Lei is naturally unable to practice in such a noisy venue, not that his Dao heart is not firm, but the aura in this place does not allow it at all, it is turbid and abnormal, and it is not suitable for cultivation.
