May 8, Ningbo, Chen's Compound.

Zhang Siyuan took Zhou Zixuan to the Chen family compound, which Zhang Siyuan did not expect. On May 7, the Chen family suddenly sent an invitation to Chen Ziye and Zhu Ling'er to get engaged.

Zhang Siyuan naturally would not refuse, and after accepting the invitation, Zhang Siyuan took Zhou Zixuan to the Chen family compound today. Zhang Siyuan always felt that he had been too calm recently, and the Chen family did not look around with much fanfare in the first two days when they couldn't find Chen Shiyi, and Chen Shuhang, who swore that he could make a mess of the Chen family, didn't make too many moves.

Zhang Siyuan felt that if something really happened, it would definitely break out today. After all, today is the day when Chen Ziye and Zhu Ling'er are engaged, if the Chen family doesn't have problems today, then after the matter between Chen Ziye and Zhu Ling'er becomes a foregone conclusion, it will be too late for the Chen family to have problems again.

Then, if Chen Shuhang wants to do anything to the Chen family, today is the best choice. Zhang Siyuan walked into Chen's house from last night to now, and he was looking forward to what kind of surprise Chen Shuhang could bring to him.

When Zhang Siyuan and Zhou Zixuan walked into Chen's house, Tian Minghao was already in Chen's house. Zhang Siyuan received the invitation, so the Tian family, who had worked with the Chen family as a partner to help Times Technology, naturally also received the invitation.

After Tian Minghao saw Zhang Siyuan walk in, his face was a little ugly and asked Zhang Siyuan, "Third brother, is this the matter?"

Zhang Siyuan shook his head: "Fourth, you remember, this is Xiao Eleven's business." What should I do, it should be solved by Xiao Eleven himself. Don't say that we can't solve this matter at all, even if we can solve this matter, this matter should be solved by Xiao Eleven himself. Otherwise, even if it's really okay in the end, Little Eleven won't feel happy. ”

After hearing Zhang Siyuan's words, Tian Minghao nodded as if he didn't understand. The two of them were talking here, and Du Wenlong, who came with Guo Yadi, also saw them standing here.

"Siyuan. Before he could get to him, Du Wenlong shouted at Zhang Siyuan.

When he heard the voice, Zhang Siyuan knew that it was Du Wenlong. After turning around and seeing Du Wenlong and Guo Yadi, Zhang Siyuan shouted with a smile: "Brother Du, Brother Yadi." ”

Du Wenlong and Guo Yadi approached, and said to Zhang Siyuan with a smile: "You guy, come so early." We also wanted to come with your car, but we didn't expect you to leave before us. ”

It turned out that Zhang Siyuan received a call from Du Wenlong a while after setting off. Du Wenlong wanted to come with him, who knew that Zhang Siyuan had already left Shanghai and got on the highway, so Du Wenlong could only come with Guo Yadi.

"Brother Du, you are wrong. You didn't tell me earlier, how can you blame me for going out early. Zhang Siyuan replied with a smile.

A few people exchanged a few words, and Guo Yadi, who didn't speak on the side, said loudly: "Let's go, let's go in." ”

After giving red envelopes to the people who received the gifts, Zhang Siyuan and the others walked into the Chen family compound. The courtyard in the Chen family's compound was already full of banquets. Some of the Chen family's immediate family members were receiving guests in the courtyard, and after Zhang Siyuan and the others walked in, the Chen family's housekeeper greeted them and arranged several of them at a table.

After sitting down at the table, Du Wenlong said a little teasingly: "Look, this is the Chen family." With so many tables set up and so many people coming to an engagement banquet, tsk, a wealthy family is a wealthy family. ”

"Don't spit sour water here, if you can become the heir of the Du family, the number of people you will only have more than the Chen family today, not less than the Chen family. Your Du family has so many connections, I don't know how many people will come to send congratulatory gifts if the heir does something. Guo Yadi, who was on the side, immediately quipped after hearing Du Wenlong's words.

After Du Wenlong heard Guo Yadi's words, he smiled and did not speak. Zhang Siyuan and Tian Minghao were watching among the guests of the Chen family to see if they could find some acquaintances.

It's a pity that there are so many tables in the courtyard of the Chen family, and Zhang Siyuan didn't see anyone he knew. It was Guo Yadi and Du Wenlong who often greeted some people who walked by.

Tian Minghao, who was bored, said to Zhang Siyuan: "Third brother, let's go out for a walk?"

"Okay. Zhang Siyuan nodded.

Because there is a happy event in the Chen family today, in addition to the backyard of the Chen family, most of the guests in the other Chen family compound can enter. Zhang Siyuan and Tian Minghao didn't think about going to Chen's house anywhere, and the two of them walked directly to the outside of the Chen family's compound to smoke.

When smoking, Tian Minghao looked at the time on his watch and said with some frustration: "It seems that Xiao Eleven has given up, alas." This damn world, damn family. ”

"Fourth, don't say that, you can't make a conclusion until the last moment. I think Xiao Eleven might give us a surprise, why don't we wait and see?" Zhang Siyuan showed a smile on his face, and said something that surprised Tian Minghao.

After hearing Zhang Siyuan's words, Tian Minghao asked excitedly: "Third brother, did Eleven have any plans to discuss with you?"

Zhang Siyuan shook his head, Zhang Siyuan still felt that what Chen Shuhang said that day was so strange, something would definitely happen today. It's a pity that Chen Shuhang didn't say it explicitly at the beginning, so Zhang Siyuan couldn't guess what Chen Shuhang wanted to do.

The two of them were chatting, and suddenly they heard someone shouting not far away: "Siyuan." ”

Zhang Siyuan felt that the voice was somewhat like Li Han's voice, and when he turned around, he saw that Li Han was holding Hu Longfei's hand and walking towards them not far away.

At this moment, Zhang Siyuan was really a little surprised, and asked in surprise: "Brother Li, why are you here?"

Li Han smiled: "If you can be here, I can't be here? What kind of reason do you have, do you mean that people can't invite me?"

"What kind of tone are you? Siyuan, don't worry about him, you know, he's like that. As soon as Li Han scolded Zhang Siyuan, he was suddenly pinched by Hu Longfei on the meat of his waist and couldn't speak.

Zhang Siyuan, who was very familiar with Li Han's personality, smiled and said to Hu Longfei: "Sister-in-law, I know. ”

Then Zhang Siyuan heard Hu Longfei explain: "Old Man Chen has some friendship with Grandpa Li, so he sent an invitation over." Naturally, Grandpa Li couldn't come in person, so he let the two of us come over. ”

As soon as Hu Longfei's words fell, Zhang Siyuan heard Li Han, who had been let go by Hu Longfei, say: "I knew that I would definitely meet you here, did you come alone? Do you want Brother Li to take you in to find someone to have fun?"

"I came with Zixuan, she was sitting inside, and my brother and I were smoking a cigarette outside. Zhang Siyuan replied with a smile.

Zhang Siyuan was full of surprise at this time, but he didn't expect that Old Man Chen still had a relationship with Old Man Li. It seems that what Guo Yadi said to Du Wenlong before was not completely intimidating him, the connections of a two-hundred-year-old wealthy family are really terrifying. This is still a network of relationships that have surfaced on the water, and it is not known how many there are secretly.

After Li Han heard Zhang Siyuan's explanation, he grabbed Tian Minghao, who was standing with Zhang Siyuan, and said very pretendedly: "You are Siyuan's brother, that is, my Li Han's brother, and if you have anything to report my name to Yanjing in the future." If someone dares to trouble you, don't be polite, in Yanjing's one-acre and three-point land, I, Li Han, am still a character. ”

"Okay, Brother Li. Tian Minghao didn't know the details of Li Han, but Zhang Siyuan called Brother Ren, and Tian Minghao knew that it was right for him to follow and call Brother Brother. Whoever made Zhang Siyuan's father his father's eldest brother, Zhang Siyuan is also better than him, so even Zhang Siyuan has to call his brother, he will definitely not suffer if he shouts brother.

After saying a few words, Hu Longfei said to Zhang Siyuan: "Siyuan, Li Han and I will go to meet with Old Man Chen first, and then I will look for you later." ”

"Well, you guys go. Zhang Siyuan nodded and said.

When Li Han and Hu Longfei walked away, Tian Minghao asked Zhang Siyuan with some doubts: "Third brother, what is the background of that Brother Li just now?" ”

"From Yanjing, what background do you have?" Zhang Siyuan replied angrily.

People who are usually very smart, how have they become a little stupid lately? Zhang Siyuan felt that Tian Minghao's IQ was not online at all recently, and he didn't know how much difference it was compared to before.

"Princeling?" Tian Minghao said to himself.

Zhang Siyuan shook his head helplessly: "Remove the party word." ”

"Poof, is it really fake?" Tian Minghao asked with some disbelief.

Zhang Siyuan glanced at Tian Minghao: "Believe it or not, okay, let's go back after smoking." ”

When the two returned to the table, there were still only a few of them at the table. After sitting down again, Zhang Siyuan chatted with Guo Yadi over there, while Zhou Zixuan watched them quietly on the side.

It didn't take long for Li Han and Hu Longfei to come over, and when they saw that there were still empty seats on the table, Li Han asked, "Siyuan, is there anyone sitting here?"

"It doesn't seem to be, I don't know how the Chen family arranged it. Zhang Siyuan replied.

After Li Han heard Zhang Siyuan's answer, he pulled Hu Longfei to sit down: "Then my sister-in-law and I will sit here, and I believe that the Chen family will not say anything." ”

After Li Han sat down, Zhang Siyuan introduced Guo Yadi to each other. After introducing the two sides, Du Wenlong's eyes when he looked at Zhang Siyuan changed a little.

Du Wenlong never thought that Zhang Siyuan would know this kind of top second generation, this kind of person he didn't even know. This made Du Wenlong wonder if he had done something wrong this time.

Of course, Zhang Siyuan didn't know what Du Wenlong was thinking at this time, and he was still there as a lubricant to reconcile the atmosphere on the table. Soon, a group of people who became familiar with it didn't need Zhang Siyuan's gags to chat.

"The brothers are all mixed up here in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, I don't know if you have heard of an interesting thing?" A few people were chatting, and Li Han suddenly asked a few of them with a mysterious face.

Zhang Siyuan looked at Li Han: "Brother Li, what's the matter?" you say, maybe some of us have heard of it." ”

Li Han looked around and found that no one was coming towards them, so he quickly said, "I heard that the eldest of the Chen family is engaged today and has a relationship with the eldest of the Chen family. It seems that something happened a few days ago, have you heard about it?"

After Li Han finished speaking, he found that the people sitting at the table, except for him and Hu Longfei, all showed strange expressions.

In the end, when Li Han couldn't help but continue to ask, Zhang Siyuan said softly: "Brother Li, the eldest of the Chen family, is my brother. ”

"Poof. So what are you waiting for, what are you doing! Your brother and daughter-in-law have been robbed, and you are still in the mood to eat here? Siyuan, this is your mistake. My brother told you that if you stick a knife in your brother's ribs, this kind of daughter-in-law is robbed, you must support your brother to the end. Otherwise, how can my brother go out in the future, his face will be lost. After hearing Zhang Siyuan's words, Li Han immediately said excitedly.

Fortunately, no one passed by their table at this time, otherwise Li Han's words just now would have been heard, and he didn't know what kind of turmoil he was going to make.

After Li Han said those words, Hu Longfei slapped Li Han on the head: "If you don't speak, no one will be dumb, since Siyuan is sitting here, then there must be a reason for him." You still teach Siyuan how to do things? Siyuan doesn't teach you is your loss. ”

Zhang Siyuan didn't react because of Li Han's words, but said very calmly: "This matter is not something I can manage if I want to, I am a guest of the Chen family today." As for my brother's matter, if he wants to help me, he will definitely find a way to help, and if he doesn't talk to me, I won't take the initiative to help. ”

"By the way, I heard that the old man of the Chen family was locked up by the old man of the Chen family at the beginning, and then he was rescued again, did you do it?" Li Han asked Zhang Siyuan again.

Zhang Siyuan glanced at Du Wenlong and Guo Yadi: "You are the third one to ask me about this, you can ask Du Ge and Yadi Ge." ”

When Li Han saw Zhang Siyuan say this, he didn't bother to ask Guo Yadi and Du Wenlong again. For him, what happened to the Chen family was just a story he listened to after dinner, and he didn't really need to ask so much.

The atmosphere on the table changed after Li Han said this. Everyone's hearts were thinking about what Zhang Siyuan said and why Li Han knew about it.

According to the reason, this kind of thing should not be spread to such a far place as Yanjing. Although the Chen family's search for Chen Shiyi was with great fanfare, it was only in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. The Chen family is not stupid, but they will not let the ugliness of the family be publicized.

It is already embarrassing for Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai circles to know about this matter, if it spreads all over the Yanjing circle again, then the Chen family's face will be lost enough. It can be said that it is a loss of face, after all, the direct brothers in the family fight for a woman and cause family ups and downs, which can be said to be the most interesting in the circle.

Not only will the Chen family let the people in the circle talk about it, but the Zhu family and Zhu Ling'er who caused this incident will also become a topic of discussion in the circle after dinner.

However, the atmosphere at their table was not awkward for long before it was broken. Because a series of firecrackers had already sounded outside, and at the same time, someone with good deeds shouted: "The people of the Zhu family are here." ”

"Let's go, let's go see. Li Han stood up first.

Zhang Siyuan and the others naturally had no opinions, and they all stood up and walked out after them. Not only did the people at their table get up and walk outside, but many people in the Chen family's compound were walking towards the door.

When Zhang Siyuan and the others walked to the door, they saw a convoy slowly coming over not far from the main road at the entrance of the Chen family's compound.

At the head of the convoy was an extended Lincoln, followed by a string of Mercedes-Benz S600s. Wait until the firecrackers outside stop. The convoy also stopped at the gate of the Chen family's compound.

After the car stopped, Zhang Siyuan saw Chen Ziye get out of the car. Chen Ziye, who stepped down from the elongated Lincoln, was wearing a black suit, with a smile on his face, looking proud.

After Chen Ziye stepped down from the extended Lincoln, another person walked down from behind. It was none other than Zhu Ling'er who had met Zhang Siyuan twice.

Zhu Ling'er couldn't see any smile on her face, although the clothes she was wearing were also very festive. After Zhu Ling'er walked down, Chen Ziye wanted to go up and take Zhu Ling'er's hand and walk to the Chen family's compound together.

But Zhu Linger dodged without a trace, and Zhang Siyuan also saw a cold glint in Chen Ziye's eyes after Zhu Linger dodged Chen Ziye's hand without a trace. Zhang Siyuan knew that Chen Ziye's heart must be full of anger at this time, and he also knew that if the matter between Chen Ziye and Zhu Linger was really a foregone conclusion, Zhu Ling'er's life would definitely be difficult in the future.

But this kind of thing is something he can't manage, Chen Shiyi doesn't appear, and no one can stand out. It's one thing to be able to come out on top, but the point is that there's no reason.

Chen Ziye, who held back his anger, although the smile on his face was a little embarrassed, he still walked with Zhu Linger to the Chen family compound.

The scene where Zhu Ling'er dodged Chen Ziye's hand just now was seen by many guests of the Chen family who were watching outside the door. They were all whispering, but no one was really talking about it out loud. However, Zhang Siyuan saw a hint of excitement from the faces of many people.

"Interesting, really interesting. Li Han, who also saw that scene, also said with a smile beside Zhang Siyuan.

After hearing Li Han's words, Hu Longfei glared at Li Han: "We are here to congratulate today, you take care of your own mouth, don't cause anything." Otherwise, when you go back, you will see how your grandfather cleans you up! Also, if something happens later, you can see what Siyuan does, and then decide what to do. ”

Hu Longfei is clear about Zhang Siyuan's background, because the last time she was engaged to Li Han, Zhang Siyuan caused a lot of turmoil. Similarly, Zhang Siyuan's identity has also been known to many people. She knew that the Li family wanted to befriend Zhang Siyuan, and she also knew the relationship between the Chen family and Zhang Siyuan just now.

If something happens later, it must be caused by the old man of the Chen family. At that time, Zhang Siyuan may stand up, and Hu Longfei reminded Li Han to keep up with the pace of nervous Siyuan later, and not to conflict with Zhang Siyuan at that time. After all, they are guests of the Chen family, in case Li Han has brain cramps and helps the boss of the Chen family to slap the Chen family's boss, it is not a play against Zhang Siyuan.

"Yes, I'm not stupid. Siyuan, let's go, let's go in. Li Han said a little unhappily.

Hu Longfei didn't say anything because of Li Han's little temper, but followed Li Han inside. Chen Ziye and Zhu Ling'er had already walked into the Chen family's compound, and the Zhu family had also entered, so Zhang Siyuan naturally wouldn't stand outside all the time, and walked in with them after hearing Li Han's shout.

After re-entering the Chen family's compound and sitting down, Zhang Siyuan and the others found that all the cold dishes on the table had been served. The first hot dish on some tables has already been served. There are also people on the table at this time.

Zhang Siyuan was also a little anxious at this time, before eating, the engagement ceremony between Chen Ziye and Zhu Linger was definitely going to end. If Chen Shuhang hadn't destroyed them before the ceremony ended, then it would have been really a big trouble.

Now the ceremony between Chen Ziye and Zhu Linger has not yet been held, and the relationship between the two has not been completely determined. If it is destroyed, then the Chen family will indeed be angry, but the Zhu family will not necessarily be so angry. After all, Chen Shiyi is also a member of the Chen family, and according to Chen Shuhang, he can also let Chen Shiyi control a large part of the Chen family's wealth.

For the Zhu family, they are married to the Chen family. Whether Zhu Ling'er is with the boss of the Chen family or with the boss of the Chen family, as long as it can bring enough benefits to their Zhu family. According to Chen Shuhang's statement, Zhang Siyuan believes that Chen Shuhang must have negotiated the conditions with the Zhu family, otherwise the Zhu family would not have reacted at all so far.

After all, now that the matter between Chen Shiyi and Zhu Ling'er has spread throughout the entire circle of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, the people of the Zhu family should come out with the Chen family to refute the rumors. But from the time of the incident to the present, the Zhu family has not stood up and said a word. This made Zhang Siyuan feel that there was a problem, and when Chen Shuhang returned to Chen's house that day, he had already been to Zhu's house, Zhang Siyuan felt that Chen Shuhang should have negotiated the conditions with the Zhu family.

The Zhu family may not have fully agreed to Chen Shuhang's conditions, otherwise they should have directly proposed to marry Zhu Ling'er to Chen Shiyi. The reason for this, Zhang Siyuan, estimates that it is because the rulers of the Zhu family also want to see if Chen Shuhang can fulfill the conditions he offered. Otherwise, if Chen Shuhang just released the satellite, then their Zhu family would lose a lot.

Zhang Siyuan felt that the Zhu family was now waiting for Chen Shuhang to make a move, and Chen Shuhang's move would achieve the desired effect, so the Zhu family would definitely be willing to marry Zhu Ling'er to Chen Shiyi. But if he can't fulfill the conditions he promised, then the Zhu family will definitely not be willing to let Chen Shiyi be with Zhu Ling'er, but will continue to let Zhu Ling'er be with Chen Ziye.

Zhang Siyuan was thinking about this here, and Old Man Chen, who had already met with the Zhu family, also said to Zhu Linger's father apologetically: "Changhou, I'm really embarrassed. Because of our family's relationship, your Zhu family was also implicated. ”

Zhu Linger's father, Zhu Changhou, showed a smile on his face: "Uncle Chen's words are serious, which is nonsense in itself, so there is no need to care too much." The engagement between the Chen family and the Zhu family is a marriage that you and my father have decided at the beginning, and I naturally support it. Besides, the descendants of the Chen family are all simple characters, and I am happy to marry Ling'er to the Chen family. ”

After hearing Zhu Linger's father's words, Old Man Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of change. The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Zhu Changhou's words only said that he was married to the Chen family, but he didn't say that Chen Ziye and Zhu Ling'er were engaged at all. This made the suspicious old man Chen feel that something might happen here.

Now the head of the Zhu family is Zhu Linger's father Zhu Changhou, and it is impossible for him to say such ambiguous words. Outsiders are just listening to gossip, but both of them know the truth of the matter. Now Zhu Changhou's words are a little subtle, which makes Old Man Chen suddenly feel a little uneasy.

However, although Old Man Chen felt that there might be a change, he still didn't care. He believed that with him, nothing would happen to the Chen family. No one will be able to easily provoke the Chen family's tiger whiskers, and no one will be able to make the Chen family chaotic.

Old Man Chen, who didn't hear the meaning of Zhu Changhou's words, laughed heartily: "Changhou, after today, we will be in-laws." You'll have to have a drink or two with me later at dinner. It's rare to encounter such a happy thing, I haven't drunk for a long time, and I don't care if I'm happy today. ”

"That's as it should be. Zhu Changhou's face was also full of smiles all the time.

The two of them didn't talk for long, and the housekeeper of the Chen family walked into Old Man Chen's ear and said a few words, and then Old Man Chen smiled and said to Zhu Changhou: "Changhou, it's almost time, let's take a seat." ”

"Okay. Since Zhu Changhou walked into Chen's house, the smile on his face has not disappeared.

After Old Man Chen and Zhu Changhou walked to the main table in the courtyard together, the Chen family's compound suddenly fell silent.

The housekeeper of the Chen family took a microphone in his hand and handed it to Old Man Chen, who took the microphone and coughed: "Thank you very much for being able to give face to the Chen family to participate in the engagement ceremony of our Chen family's heir Chen Ziye, and thank you here." I hope that all friends can eat, drink and have fun at the Chen family today, and at the same time, I also hope that my eldest grandson Chen Ziye can grow old together with Zhu Ling'er, the daughter of the Zhu family, and be together for a hundred years. ”

As soon as Old Man Chen's words were finished, warm applause rang out in the Chen family's compound. Old Man Chen didn't say anything more, handed the microphone to the housekeeper and sat down.

Then Steward Chen stood aside and shouted, "Open the table." ”

"Wait, I haven't come back yet, why did I have a banquet?As Ziye's fourth uncle, Dad, wouldn't it be nice for you to hold a banquet without waiting for our family to come back?" At this moment, Chen Shuhang's voice came from the gate of the Chen family's compound.

Behind Chen Shuhang, Chen Shiyi was following behind, but Chen Shiyi's mother was holding Chen Shuhang's arm.

When Chen Shuhang's voice reached the courtyard, many people's faces changed. There are also many people whose expressions have not changed in the slightest, as if they knew from the beginning that this would be the case.

When Old Man Chen saw Chen Shuhang's family walk in, he was also shocked at first, but he quickly reacted: "It's Shuhang, go and sit down." Ziye is really, tell me that you don't come back if you have something, I thought you really wouldn't come back. ”
