Chapter 97: The Eve of the Big Birthday
The meal ended in a fairly harmonious atmosphere, and the Yang family and the Luo family left the restaurant after saying goodbye.
Yang Hui and Luo Shuyu didn't stay long, and left with their respective sons, and soon only Chen Qingyang and Zhao Lanxin were left in the hall.
"Grandma, why are there so many people from the two families this time?" Chen Qingyang asked the puzzle in his heart.
In previous years, Zhao Lanxin had a big birthday, and although there were people from the Yang and Luo families who came to celebrate their birthdays, there were only two or three people at most.
But this time, at least a dozen people from each family came over, and most of them were fresh faces, which made Chen Qingyang very puzzled.
"Isn't it for the show? They thought I didn't know. Zhao Lanxin said lightly, but there was a sneer in her tone.
"What do you mean?" Chen Qingyang was even more puzzled.
Zhao Lanxin picked up the teacup in front of her, took a sip lightly, and said, "You should remember where the ancestral house of the old Chen family is, right?" ”
Chen Qingyang nodded and said, "Remember, in a small city in Nanhu Province, I went there once. ”
"Well, after your grandfather died, I took your father to Guangdong Province, and I have been gone for more than 40 years!" Zhao Lanxin sighed.
"Could it be that they want to hit the Chen family's ancestral house?" Chen Qingyang suddenly reacted and asked.
Zhao Lanxin's deep eyes flashed with a cold light, and said: "That side has now become a development zone, and if you want to transform a large area around it into a tourist resort, the Yang and Luo families have taken over the project through their relationship, and now the ancestral house of the old Chen family has not been expropriated." ”
"Grandma, what do you think?" Chen Qingyang asked.
Chen Qingyang didn't have much sense of belonging to the Chen family's ancestral house, after all, he didn't grow up there, and even if it was expropriated, he wouldn't have much of an opinion.
However, Chen Qingyang knows that the ancestral house can be said to carry all the memories of the grandparents and their family, and almost every year Zhao Lanxin will take the time to go to the ancestral house to live for a few days, so you can imagine her feelings for there.
"Your grandfather has been gone for more than forty years, and the only thing left for grandma is that ancestral house, as long as grandma still has a breath of air, no one should think of the idea of the ancestral house." As he spoke, Zhao Lanxin's body exuded an aura that made Chen Qingyang feel stunned.
It was not the aura of a martial artist, it was a powerful aura that had been tempered over time, even if Chen Qingyang faced the aura on Zhao Lanxin's body at this moment, he couldn't help but feel palpitations.
"They shouldn't be stupid enough to force the palace, right?" Chen Qingyang asked.
"At present, no matter how docile the rabbit is, it will bite people, not to mention that they have the support of a big family behind them, and there is nothing they dare not do." Zhao Lanxin said slowly.
For the families of Yang Hui and Luo Shuyu, Chen Qingyang knows a thing or two, the Yang family is a wealthy family in the north, has been in business for generations, the industry is very extensive, the family heritage is extremely rich and solid, and there are more than a dozen branch families, covering all regions of the country.
In terms of net worth, even the Wang family in the capital is far less rich than the Yang family.
The Luo family is a well-known underworld family in the south, and it is rumored that the old lady of the Luo family was the famous godfather of the underworld back then, and at his peak, he once ruled the entire southern underworld force, and he was worthy of the name of the emperor of the soil.
It's just that the old lady of the Luo family died later, and several sons fought for power with each other, which led to the fragmentation of the Luo family, a top underworld family, and its status declined sharply.
(s more' new fastest -r on {cs.)
Originally, everyone thought that when the Luo family, the overlord-level underworld family, was about to be destroyed, a ruthless man of the Luo family was born, subdued several major branches by thunderous means, and reintegrated the Luo family's forces, although it could not reach the peak of the Luo family, but it was enough to ensure the Luo family's status as a hegemon in the south.
When Chen Bailang defeated the big tiger in the southern underworld, a lot of it had to do with the Luo family's secret help.
It can be said that the family backgrounds of the two concubines received by Chen Bailang are extremely terrifying and powerful, and any one of them is enough to be called a super family, and it is no wonder that some people say behind his back that the reason why Chen Bailang has today's status depends on the family relationship of his two concubines.
Although the power of the two families is very strong, in Chen Qingyang's opinion, they are still not taken seriously by him.
"Grandma, don't worry, with me, they don't dare to mess around." Chen Qingyang said.
Zhao Lanxin smiled slightly, looked at Chen Qingyang with pity, and said: "Although grandma is old, the Chen family still has the final say on grandma, you are weak and need to rest well, so don't get involved." ”
Chen Qingyang shook his head and said, "Grandma, in fact, my body has recovered. ”
"What?" Zhao Lanxin stood up from her seat suddenly, and her face, which had not left many wrinkles over the years, could not hide the shock and excitement in her heart at this moment.
"Seriously?" Zhao Lanxin asked.
She once invited many famous doctors to see Chen Qingyang, all of whom said that his body was impossible to cure, and even only had a few years left to live, so Zhao Lan, who had believed in the Buddha for decades, was angry and ordered someone to smash the Chen family's Buddhist hall that cost millions to build.
Asking for Buddha and offering to Buddha for decades, in the end, his most beloved grandson only had a few years left to live, Zhao Lanxin's mood at that time can be imagined.
Now that she heard that Chen Qingyang's body was better, how could she not be excited?
For Zhao Lanxin, Chen Qingyang naturally would not hide it, and then briefly explained the process of Huang Fengming taking him to the Shaolin Ancient Temple, and did not mention anything about his grievances with the Wang family.
"The sky has eyes, now even if I go down to accompany your grandfather immediately, I am willing." Zhao Lanxin said, tears flowed out of her eyes.
It was an irrepressible tear of emotion.
Chen Qingyang's eyes were also slightly red, he reached out to wipe the tears on Zhao Lanxin's cheeks, and said softly: "Grandma, you are not allowed to say such unfortunate words, I haven't given you a bunch of great-grandchildren to hug, if grandpa knows that you are so happy, he must not want you to go down to accompany him so early." ”
"Hehe, Qingyang's mouth is sweet, okay, grandma promised you that you will live a long life, but you don't want grandma to wait too long." Zhao Lanxin said with a smile.
"Okay, next time I come back, I'll definitely bring a granddaughter-in-law to show you." Chen Qingyang patted his chest and promised, Ye Nansheng's figure couldn't help but appear in his mind, and he didn't know where she was now.
Hearing this, Zhao Lanxin couldn't stop laughing.
This night was the happiest time Zhao Lanxin smiled for so many years, she originally went to bed on time at nine o'clock every night, and she also chatted with Chen Qingyang until ten o'clock for the first time, and finally at Chen Qingyang's insistence, she reluctantly returned to her residence to rest.
Tonight's Chen family is brightly lit, but the library building that Chen Bailang spent a lot of money to build is still dark, and it is obvious that he has not come back yet.
Standing in front of the dimly lit library door, Chen Qingyang stopped for a few minutes, sighed slightly, and then left.
Chen Qingyang had a hunch that if Chen Bailang didn't come back tomorrow, the Chen family might have a big incident.
