Generally speaking, the ancestral homes of wealthy families are usually very deserted, and they are only lively during the New Year's holidays.

The same is true of the Chen family compound.

In the past, only Chen Xiurui lived here alone, and the children of the Chen family hardly saw him.

It's not that the children of the Chen family don't want to come here.

On the contrary, all the children of the Chen family wanted to come to the ancestral house to see Chen Xiurui, but few were qualified.

It is also because of this that some time ago, Chen Ye was taken back to the Chen family compound by Chen Xiurui and stayed overnight, which caused quite a stir.

Three days later.

The deserted Chen family compound became lively.

This day is Chen Xiurui's 70th birthday.

Just like his birthday in previous years, Chen Xiurui's birthday banquet was held in the Chen family's compound, and no one was invited except for his own family.

And yet—

The Chen family alone has dozens of people.

Among them, Chen Xiurui has three sons and one daughter under his knees.

Chen Xiurui's younger brother Chen Jingyi has four men and two girls under his knees.

In addition, Chen Xiurui also has a younger sister, Chen Huimin, and has three sons under his knees.

Although Chen Huimin is not a member of the Chen family in the real sense from the day she gets married, according to the rules handed down by the older generation, she and her children will definitely come to participate in Chen Xiurui's 70th birthday.

From two o'clock in the afternoon, there were children of the Chen family who came to the Chen family compound one after another.

Special cars with special license plates, as well as luxury cars of great value, kept stopping at the entrance of the alley of the Chen family compound, but none of the cars drove into the alley and stopped at the gate of the Chen family compound.

This is the rule of the Chen family.

Except for Chen Xiurui's special car, the cars of other people in the Chen family are not allowed to park at the gate of the Chen family's compound.

Including Chen Jingyi and Chen Huimin, neither of them can do it.

After getting off the bus at the entrance of the alley, the children of the Chen family entered the Chen family compound from the main entrance with their gifts.

The Chen family compound is three courtyard houses connected together, divided into an outer courtyard, a middle courtyard and an inner courtyard.

Chen Xiurui usually lives in the inner courtyard, receives guests in the outer courtyard, and has dinner with his family in the middle courtyard.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, almost all the children of the Chen family arrived.

Among them, the younger generation led by Chen Yu are all in the outer courtyard, and their parents are in the middle courtyard.

And Chen Jingyi and Chen Huimin were chatting with Chen Xiurui in the study room of the inner courtyard.

Although the identities and status of their brother and sister are not as prominent as Chen Xiurui, in the eyes of ordinary people, they are also big names in the sky.

Chen Jingyi was transferred from the post of a feudal official in a certain province a few years ago, and although he was relegated to the second line after entering Beijing, he was of a very high rank, but he did not have real power.

Chen Huimin is currently the head of an important association and will retire in a year.

"Brother Yu, I heard that the Prince Club was disbanded and Zhao Tianming was transferred out of Yanjing, all of which are related to Brother Chen Ye, what is going on?"

In the outer courtyard, the younger generation of the Chen family got together, and someone immediately led the topic to the matter that shook the elite circle of the Xia Kingdom in the past two days.

Whew......

In an instant, all the members of the younger generation of the Chen family set their eyes on Chen Yu.

"I don't know."

Chen Yu's face was a little ugly.

As the eldest and youngest of the Chen family, he has always been a role model and pride for the children of the Chen family.

Every time there is a festival, these younger brothers and sisters surround him, like stars holding the moon, chatting around his work, experience, etc.

And today, everything has changed, and he is no longer the center of conversation for his younger siblings.

Even, some younger siblings looked at him with strange eyes.

He knew very well that this was because of the conflict between him and Chen Ye in Jiangning.

That conflict not only caused a huge earthquake in the Chen family, but also had a great impact on the elite circle of the Xia Kingdom.

"Second brother, do you know the inside story?"

Seeing that Chen Yu didn't know, some people set their eyes on Chen Xiao, who was ranked second among the younger generation of the Chen family.

Chen Xiao, the son of Chen Xiurui's second son, Chen Qingjun, has just graduated from the National University and is currently serving in an electronic information army.

"You know, I didn't care about this gossip since I was a kid."

Chen Xiao smiled bitterly, but his heart was full of curiosity about his cousin who was famous in Xia Guo.

"It's true! Three days ago, Brother Chen Ye disabled Zhao Tianming's old servant, smashed the plaque and gate of the Prince Club, and then made a phone call to Wu Lao's secretary and asked the Prince Club to disband! ”

Just then, a girl suddenly spoke.

The girl's name is Chen Xue, Chen Qingjun's youngest daughter, and she is currently in college.

"Xiaoxue, are you sure?"

Including Chen Yu, everyone immediately turned their attention to Chen Xue.

"It's true. My sloppy sister and I are best friends. Brother Ma Hu happened to be there that day! ”

Chen Xue said.

"Brother Chen Ye's bull-!!"

"I don't know if I can see Brother Chen Ye today?"

Hearing Chen Xue's words again, many of the younger generation of the Chen family became a little excited.

Except for two.

Chen Yu and Xu Qi couple.

Unlike the juniors who unscrupulously talked about the affairs of the Prince Club, their parents knew that this matter had a far-reaching impact, and they all avoided talking about it and did not talk about their respective jobs, but chatted about some interesting things.

Meanwhile.

In the study room of the inner courtyard, Chen Jingyi and Chen Huimin, brother and sister, chatted with Chen Xiurui about Chen Ye.

"Big brother, Xiao Ye, this child, since he appeared, there have been constant turmoil, and it is even more exaggerated than the Qing Emperor back then. I'm afraid it's not a matter if it goes on like this for a long time, do you have any plans on your side? ”

Chen Jingyi was the first to ask.

Chen Xiurui said lightly: "Ono's life, he is in charge of his own life, and I don't interfere." ”

"Big brother, I heard that you sent a secretary to pick him up here in a special car last time, and let him stay here for one night."

Chen Huimin said with a smile.

"It's the first time he's in Beijing, and I'll take him home to see, isn't that normal?"

Chen Xiurui glanced at his sister.

Chen Huimin's eyes flashed, and then she looked at her second brother Chen Jingyi.

Chen Jingyi hesitated for a moment and asked:

"Big brother, it looks like today, Huimin and I can meet Ono?"

"Ono went to pick up his mother at the airport, and he should be here by six o'clock, this is the first time the two of them have really come home."

Chen Xiurui replied calmly, reminding the two at the same time.

Yanjing Airport.

Chen Ye and Chen Xiurui's secretary stood at the exit of the VIP passage of the airport, waiting for Fang Lan.

Soon, Fang Lan, accompanied by Xiao Jiu, appeared in Chen Ye's sight.

"Mom, sister."

Chen Ye took the lead to catch up.

Xiao Jiu didn't make a special trip to accompany Fang Lan to Yanjing.

As the righteous daughter of Emperor Chen Qing, she served in the Shouxia organization, and now her new position is Fang Lan's bodyguard, and her mission is to protect Fang Lan's safety.

This is an order personally given by the leader of the Shouxia organization, Zhen Vigil, ostensibly to take care of Xiao Jiu.

In fact, everyone, including Xiao Jiu, knew very well that the vigil was opening a small stove for Chen Ye to ensure the safety of Chen Ye's mother Fang Lan!

"Hello, Ms. Fang,"

At this moment, Chen Xiurui's secretary stood beside Chen Ye, took the initiative to greet Fang Lan, and then smiled at Xiao Jiu.

"Mom, this is Grandpa's secretary Zhang Rui."

"Hello, Secretary Zhang."

Fang Lan responded with a smile, her posture was very low, and she was even a little frightened.

Although Chen Ye had comforted her mother Fang Lan on the phone three days ago, telling her not to be worried and worried, she couldn't do it at all.

After all, this was her first time going to Chen's house.

And she and Chen Qingdi did not get a certificate.

Even, Emperor Chen Qing was not present today.

"Mom, let's get in the car first, otherwise it will be rush hour in a while."

Chen Ye saw his mother's nervousness, and didn't say anything, but smiled and grabbed his mother's arm.

"Chen Ye, I'll go to the Shouxia headquarters to go around, tell me when you're here, I'll pick up my godmother."

Seeing this, Xiao Jiu said with a smile.

Chen Ye said angrily: "You are calling your godmother, don't you want to celebrate my grandfather's birthday?" ”

"I ...... Can I go?! ”

Xiao Jiu was stunned.

She knew that the Chen family was one of the most wealthy families in the Xia Kingdom, and she was just the righteous daughter adopted by Emperor Chen Qing, how could she be qualified to celebrate the birthday of a big man like Chen Xiurui?

"Gotta go!!"

Chen Ye said.

"Yes...... But ......"

"Don't do it, I'll let you go, you can go!!"

Chen Ye directly interrupted Xiao Jiu's words, then held his mother Fang Lan with his left hand, and dragged Xiao Jiu's arm with his right hand to leave the exit of the airport.

Ten minutes later.

Chen Ye took his mother Fang Lan and Xiao Jiu and got into Chen Xiurui's special car.

An hour later.

The special car, which was known to everyone in the military department and even in the entire Xia Kingdom, stopped at the gate of the Chen family's compound.

Secretary Zhang got out of the car as soon as possible, walked to the back door of the car, and opened the door.

Chen Ye, Fang Lan and Xiao Jiu stepped out of the car one after another.

Among them, Fang Lan's legs trembled slightly.

Seeing this, Chen Ye immediately grabbed his mother's arm.

Fang Lan stood still, glanced at the magnificent Chen family compound, then withdrew his gaze, and asked with some uneasiness:

"Ono, have you arrived??"

Wow!

What responded to Fang Lan was a soft sound.

The main entrance of the Chen family's compound opened.

Chen Xiurui took his younger brother Chen Jingyi and sister Chen Huimin and walked out of it, followed by all the three generations of the Chen family!

"You...... Hello ......"

Fang Lan saw Chen Xiurui leading someone to appear, her face changed, and she hurriedly said hello.

And yet—

Without waiting for her to finish the rest of the sentence.

The old man, who stamped his feet and the entire military headquarters was about to shake three times, interrupted with a smile:

"Fang Lan, Ono, welcome home!"
