Chapter 187. Good night.

“Well, Lian Ying and I are considered old folks and classmates for the time being.”

“That’s it?”

Lai Ying was obviously not convinced.

“Let’s call it a first love, we grew up together.”

“Planning on renewing your relationship now are you?”

“I didn’t say that… I would have been too busy to properly settle them during this time… What if they meet with any accidents when they are two weak girls in a strange land? Might as well let them live where their eyes can see them first.”

“Tomorrow I’ll help them look for a place to live in the future, a place they can go back too, and just make this side of the house a second home.”

“Planning to move somewhere to get out of the eyes of your son and daughter and hide a golden house, are you?”

“Why do you keep thinking there’s something going on between me and her?”

“Isn’t there?”

“There really isn’t one right now, how about this, I’ll take a look after I get back to the office, the one next to the one I’m living in right now is a small three-bedroom apartment, it doesn’t seem to be for sale, so I’ll take a look and see if I can use my connections to rent it to her first.”

“This has just returned to the company and you are thinking of giving personal benefits, how do you let your men look at you? Can you convince the public? Can you be the chairman of the board of directors as soon as you want? You can do whatever you want just because someone is behind you? You take the company as a state-owned enterprise to appoint cadres, or private enterprise ah.”

Cheng Hongyuan and Li Ying walked in front and argued, while Cheng Ming and Cheng Li just held hands and walked behind.

Cheng Hongyuan’s car and Cheng Ming’s motorcycle are also parked downstairs, there is no intention to drive, this road is the direction to go home.

“Brother, are mom and dad fighting?”

“Yes and no.”

“What do you mean?”

“The world of grown-ups is more complicated, and it may be that they all want to stay a little longer, but no one can pull their punches and say this one thing.”

After walking for more than an hour, my sister was already tired of walking and let Cheng Ming carry her, and my father and mother were still talking non-stop, and the topic was far away, and had nothing to do with Aunt Lian and Xu Juan.

All the way to the downstairs of the home, the dad stopped, did not follow the upstairs, Cheng Ming carried his sister upstairs, intending to sleep on this side, but was driven out by the mom.

“Ming, go supervise your father.”

Cheng Li also knew that his mother’s mood was actually a bit unstable, and did not capriciously follow his brother to the new home, staying over here to accompany his mother.

Cheng Ming went downstairs only to see his dad just sitting on the stairs smoking a stuffy cigarette.

“Dad, let’s go back to Jing’s house together and get the car.”

“I’m too lazy to walk, go and ride your motorcycle over.” Cheng Hongyuan slapped his thigh and said.

“What about your car? Just left it there?”

“Whatever, let’s put it there for now, we won’t need it for a while anyway.”

Cheng Ming knew that his dad was craving for his motorcycle and had to make a run for it, who made him the son.

Although Aunt Lian didn’t know exactly what had happened, she also knew that the situation was serious, and hadn’t slept, and was asked by the father and son home, “Are you hungry? Want to eat a midnight snack?”

Cheng Hongyuan waved his hand and said, “No, no, you don’t have to wait for us to come back in the future, if you should rest, go and rest earlier, we won’t come back so much in the future.”

“It’s over?”

“It’s kind of over.”

“There’s also something on my side that I want to discuss with you guys, I found a job as a waitress in a fast food restaurant job, food is not included, but the pay is good. But if I work over there, I won’t be able to rush back to cook and cook for you guys.” Aunt Lian said with difficulty.

She and her daughter free with the help of Cheng Ming’s family, is to give them the responsibility of cooking and cooking vegetables to barely be able to be at peace.

But she can’t afford to rent an outside house if she doesn’t work, and she’s very conflicted about not having a place to live if she does work.

There are electronics factories that provide food and housing, but where would the company let her bring her daughter along to live in the dormitory?

Unless her daughter stops studying and works with her in the factory.

Her daughter had to continue her education, which is why Lian Ying stayed away from home for a change of scenery.

Take a step back, even if the company is persuaded by her to agree to two people sharing a bed.

Lian Ying and do not want to daughter with their own suffering in that kind of place, with their daughters to live a dozen people crowded a dormitory, no table, public bathrooms, public toilets.

What’s more, I don’t know what kind of person my roommate is, and when she meets someone who is not a good person, Lian Ying will inevitably turn human nature to evil and think in a bad way.

The job search dragged on for a month because of this same conflict.

But it’s not a solution to stay put, so Lian Ying shyly proposed this non sequitur.

“Yeah, I’m totally fine with that, and you don’t have to worry about Xu Juan and I starving, I can still cook and cook.”

Cheng Ming raised his hands in favor of the idea and asked for a chance to show off his cooking skills in front of Xu Juan.

Grab her stomach first, then open her heart.

“Good thing ah, it is good to have a job.” Cheng Hongyuan clapped his hands and said, “You were going to ask you, if you didn’t find a job, I can arrange a job for you, it’s not a good job is all, it’s a cleaner in my company, but the treatment is still okay.”

“Dad, did you not listen to what mom said tonight?” Cheng Ming rolled his eyes and said.

“It’s not too much to ask that I, as chairman of the board, arrange for a cleaner, is it?”

Cheng Ming and Chen ZiYi keep regular contact, first in the online chat nonsense a few sentences. If Chen ZiYi gets angry, the phone at Cheng Ming’s house will ring. Having a cell phone is convenient, and Cheng Ming is considering getting one for himself, his sister, and Jing Jing.

His cell phone number can’t be known by Chen Ziyi, but everyone around him is a mole.

Chen Ziyi’s voice on the phone is just soft, not as hostile as the qq text, and I don’t know if it’s because I just took a shower or I’m lying in bed.

Said he went dancing in the morning and in the afternoon he went to the studio with a very famous Chinese painting teacher.

She’s going to make Cheng Ming look good when she gets out of the mountain.

On the days when Chen Lan was at home, she would come to Chen Ziyi’s room every night to check in, and Chen Ziyi, who heard the sound, tenderly said, “Good night.”

“Uh-huh.”

Uncle Lin was regained his freedom two days later, and although Cheng Ming had been reborn for many days, and Jing Jing’s house hadn’t been visited much, this was the first time he had seen Uncle Lin.

When he’s busy he’s even more inconsiderate of the family than Dad.

It has been more than ten days since Uncle Lin was examined by the inspection team in isolation; his cheeks are sunken, his bones are as thin as wood, and the frames of his glasses are broken, so his glasses do not fit correctly and are a bit crooked.

Encountered severe torture and forced confessions should not be, may be the incident suddenly, Uncle Lin was arrested and detained when the fall on the ground stepped on the damage.

Uncle Lin was neatly dressed, short-sleeved white shirt, no stains on the cuffs and collar in these places, his chin was cleanly shaved, no scruff at all, and his back was straight, he was a man with pride and a stubborn temper.

“Uncle Lin, long time no see.”

For Cheng Ming, it’s really been a long time.

“This is Xiao Ming, right? It’s all grown up so much, looking more and more like Hongyuan.” Lin Xuejun patted Cheng Ming’s back and said.

The people together in the gathering in the quiet home to Lin Xuejun receive the dust, mom naturally also in.

Cheng Ming’s heart thumped, tonight should not be walking home again, he and his sister forgave not to accompany.

The conversation at dinner naturally centered around what happened to Uncle Lin.

Listen to him and get more details as well.

He drew the drawings himself, how the construction was to be carried out, and he definitely had to go to the site to take a look. However, the director sent him out on a beautiful business trip and had to give him a promotion, so he believed in it and was controlled just as he entered the train station.

“Ye Binsong’s motive for doing it to you is sort of clear, but why mess with me? It can’t be to see that I’m living the best life and get jealous and revenge on me, right?” Cheng Hongyuan said half-jokingly.

“It’s best if you’re still alive with this virtue.” Li Ying immediately poured cold water on Cheng Hongyuan.

“It’s probably because I’m afraid that you, Dad, are meddling in your own business and will run for Uncle Lin’s affairs and prove his innocence in the end.” Cheng Ming guessed.

Lin Xuejun sighed and held Cheng Hongyuan s hand and said, “Back then, we were in a dormitory, one left, one turned against the other, leaving only us two brothers …….”

After more than twenty years of friendship, through this calamity, or betrayal, talking about the past, the two big men could not help but shed tears.

During the night, Chen Ziyi’s phone call came as expected, giving Cheng Ming a follow-up on the gold bar incident.

It’s so related to Uncle Lin’s case that the person who hid the gold bars is none other than the godfather of the Director’s wife, who is also his illegitimate daughter.

As secrecy was well maintained, he did not expect to be suddenly given measures, and no one above him tipped him off.

When things are exposed, no one will tip him off either, and the walls will come down.

Piles of gold bars have been fished out of the bottom of the lake, and there’s a huge stash of cash in the basement of the home, as well as a large number of vacation homes and lovers.

“How can you hide in the municipal party committee compound, isn’t this waiting to be fished out?” Cheng Ming asked in disbelief.

“Who knows, maybe he thought the most dangerous place is the safest place ah, the lotus flower is still a symbol of cleanliness, the gold bar hidden at the bottom of the lotus pond is really an irony, my father is happy to take the place of the man anyway. It’s by proxy, but there’s a good chance of removing the word proxy.”

“Congratulations.”

“When are you going to bring Ri to my house to play, my mom really wants to see Ri, and if you guys come, I’ll have a reason to take a day off from work and rest.”

“We’ll talk about it when we get a chance.”

“Wash your neck and wait for me after school starts, good night.”

Chen Ziyi unilaterally said good night to Cheng Ming, but Cheng Ming didn’t say a word back to her, which was a kind of final stubbornness.

Everything slowly back on track, Zhao Lei also returned to the city from the lower county, Zhao Lei’s business ability is also more and more skillful, or rather the drawing of big cakes and bragging kung fu is more and more powerful, and the whole person is also darkened a circle.

At Cheng Ming’s urging, he took the plunge and bought a second-hand motorcycle, and the job of coming to town to buy goods was left to him.

Also started thinking about which school to go to, didn’t take the midterm, one less grade, had to work a little harder to get there.

Xu Juan, who also didn’t take the midterm, is also having a hard time, but this side of the family can get her dad to move the relationship.

At first, Cheng Ming insisted that Xu Juan go to No. 1 Middle School, so that she and Jing Jing could have a companion, and the environment of No. 1 Middle School was also good.

“Then you, this brat, go to the first middle school for me.” Dad laughed and scolded, “The first middle school did not want to release people at all in the beginning, you know? If you ask me to beg them now, you’re just looking for someone to spit on you. If you go to the Second Middle School together, you’ll have a companion, and if Xu Juan gets bullied, I’ll take you to task for it.”

It’s a phrase that, in a previous life, Dad seems to have said.

After Cheng Ming finished his day’s work, he looked at the time and date in the lower right corner of his computer.

It’s already the early morning of August 18th, today is Ye Mei’s birthday, right, I wonder how she is doing now?
