Verse 043: Loyalty, Righteousness, and Courage
"Yo, Chen Xuan is back."
Seeing Chen Xuan open the door, Meng Junchen greeted him with a smile, but there was a bit of provocation in this smile.
Knowing that the other party coveted Han Jingting, how could Chen Xuan have a good face, so he ignored it and wanted to go back to the house.
Ding Lijuan's face sank, and she shouted directly: "When the guests come, you don't even know how to say hello, are you blind or deaf!" β
When facing Meng Junchen, he was hospitable, but as soon as he arrived at Chen Xuan, Ding Lijuan didn't like it.
"Forget Auntie, it's just a trivial matter, don't care." Meng Junchen put on a very generous look.
Ding Lijuan became more and more angry the more she talked, "Little thing? You have done Jingting a great favor this time, and you are a great benefactor of our family! If this waste dares to be disrespectful to you, that's a big deal! β
Afterwards, Ding Lijuan directly ordered Chen Xuan: "Junchen is tired all the way, why don't you hurry up and pour him a cup of tea!" β
Ding Lijuan is usually used to dictating to Chen Xuan, and Chen Xuan has never dared to disobey her orders, she thought it would be the same this time.
Meng Junchen also looked at Chen Xuan with great interest at the moment, waiting for Chen Xuan to bring him tea and water, and completely surrendered.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that Chen Xuan, who had always been submissive on weekdays, was unusually at the moment.
"Let me pour tea, he also deserves it?"
The smile on Meng Junchen's face suddenly became gloomy, and Ding Lijuan was even more angry.
"Okay, you Chen Xuan, you are rude to Junchen, see if I don't tear your face!"
Ding Lijuan said, waving her hand and about to hit Chen Xuan's face, but before she could fan it, Chen Xuan directly grabbed her wrist.
Chen Xuan looked at Ding Lijuan, his voice was cold, "I already said it last time in the old mansion, and that was the last time I allowed you to do it to me!" You are Jingting's mother, I respect you, but it doesn't mean that I can let you bully! β
Chen Xuan's face was grim, and he made a loud noise, and he calmed Ding Lijuan.
She didn't expect that Chen Xuan, who had been obedient to her all these years, would dare to disobey her one day!
"You ......" Ding Lijuan was stunned for a long time, and then sat directly on the ground and splashed it.
"You have no conscience, our family has provided you with food and drink over the years, and even your mother's life was saved by our family! Not only do you not know how to repay you, but you also dare to do it with me, you are simply a white-eyed wolf! β
"Everyone come and see, the son-in-law who eats soft rice has rebelled and beaten his mother-in-law!"
"Jingting, you have to divorce this bastard today, or I won't live! Woowoo woo ......"
When Chen Xuan saw Ding Lijuan's appearance, he only felt speechless for a while.
Han Jingting also sighed helplessly, she had long been accustomed to Ding Lijuan's posture.
"Chen Xuan, you usually eat soft rice, but now you are still angry with your aunt like this, I really don't know, how can a person like you be worthy of Jingting!"
Saying that, Meng Junchen hurriedly went over to help Ding Lijuan up and ask for warmth.
Chen Xuan snorted coldly, "I'm not worthy of Jingting, it's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks!" Also, don't you know if others don't know about yourself, Jingting's help, can you really help? β
Meng Junchen was stunned.
Does this guy know the truth? How can it be?
Meng Junchen decided that Chen Xuan couldn't know anything, so he said stiffly: "This ...... Does this still need to be said, didn't I help Jingting, is it still you! β
Chen Xuan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Han Bowen, and said impatiently: "Okay, don't make any noise." Chen Xuan, there's nothing to do with you here, go back to the house! β
Chen Xuan glared at Meng Junchen and turned to leave.
When I returned to the house, I could still hear Ding Lijuan scolding outside, and she also instigated Han Jingting to divorce Chen Xuan.
It took a long time for Ding Lijuan to finally stop.
Near noon, Han Jingting came to the bedroom.
"We're going out to dinner later, so you can come along."
Chen Xuan didn't think about it and said directly: "You guys go, I won't join in the fun." β
At the thought of having dinner with Ding Lijuan and Meng Junchen, Chen Xuan didn't have any appetite.
Han Jingting sighed, lowered her voice and said, "I know you don't want to go, but just think it's for me, okay?" β
Chen Xuan raised his head, and Han Jingting's bitterness and pleading came into view.
Chen Xuan suddenly understood that the most difficult thing in this family was not himself, but Han Jingting who was sandwiched in the middle!
not only take care of yourself, but also take care of Ding Lijuan's harmony with this family.
Chen Xuan couldn't bear it for a while, "Okay, I'll go with you." β
Seeing that Chen Xuan was going to go with her, Ding Lijuan was a hundred unwilling, but under Han Jingting's persuasion, she had no choice but to give up.
Half an hour later, they came to the Huaicheng banquet.
Today's dinner is actually to thank Meng Junchen, so Ding Lijuan chose such a high-end place.
When passing by the hall, the proprietress Cui Ruyun saw Chen Xuan from a distance, but before she could say hello, Chen Xuan and the others had already entered the box.
"Junchen, come, you sit next to Jingting!" As soon as she entered the box, Ding Lijuan said.
"Okay."
Meng Junchen was not polite, and sat down directly next to Han Jingting, separating Chen Xuan alone into the corner.
In this way, Chen Xuan's son-in-law is more like an outsider.
Meng Junchen looked at Chen Xuan proudly, with a victorious attitude.
A moment later, when all the food was served, a waiter walked in with a bottle of red wine.
Han Bowen, who was proficient in this, recognized this bottle of red wine at a glance, "ChΓ’teau Lafite? If you're not mistaken, the price will be at least 50,000 yuan this year! β
Han Jingting suddenly became nervous, "Are you mistaken, we don't seem to order red wine?" β
The waiter explained with a smile, "That's right, our boss heard that Mr. Chen was eating here today, so he specially sent a bottle of red wine!" β
"Mr. Chen? Where do we have Mr. Chen here? β
Although Ding Lijuan's gaze swept over Chen Xuan, she instinctively ignored his existence.
Because Ding Lijuan didn't think Chen Xuan would have such a big face at all.
Then, Ding Lijuan slapped her face and suddenly thought of something, "I know, what your boss said should be Mr. Junchen, right?" β
"Huh? This one...... I seem......
He only heard the word chen, but he wasn't sure which chen it was, but it was enough to be sure that it was sent to this box.
Meng Junchen was stunned for a moment, and then patted his forehead, "I remember, I came here with my dad last time to eat, and I guess the boss should have remembered me at that time, after all, my dad's rank in the health bureau is not low." β
Ding Lijuan was pleasantly surprised, "It's still Junchen!" Even the boss of the Huaicheng banquet wants to slap you, and even give away red wine worth 50,000 yuan for nothing, which is too face-saving! β
When Han Jingting heard the three words of Mr. Chen, she thought about whether it would be Chen Xuan, but when she saw Ding Lijuan and Meng Junchen's affirmative looks, she no longer thought of Chen Xuan.
After all, let the boss of the Huaicheng banquet know, and give away red wine worth 50,000 yuan?
Chen Xuan is afraid that he will never have such a big face!
