CH 59
Li Nanfeng’s footsteps were as speedy as the wind, and he passed Shi Fengyue in three to two steps, walking straight to Jiang Chen’s side.
“Uncle He, Aunt Yang.” Li Nanfeng put his hand on Jiang Chen’s shoulder and said with a smile, “Uncle He, I heard that this year’s new subway line would connect two stations on the land you got in the northern suburbs last year, congratulations!”
“Thank you.” He Yanfeng laughed. His eyes swept over He Qianmin who was whispering in Jiang Chen’s ear, and landed on Li Nanfeng’s arm on Jiang Chen’s shoulder: “You two know each other?”
You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )
“Of course.” Li Nanfeng put down his hand on Jiang Chen, put away his playful smile, and said, “Let me formally introduce to Uncle He, Jiang Chen, Li De’s business partner, who is also my most important partner at present.”
“In order to finalize the contract with Jiang Chen as soon as possible, I specially entrusted Shi Fengyue to bring him here first, so that I could come over to have a meeting with him immediately after getting off the plane.” Li Nanfeng paused, and said with a smile: “As soon as I arrived I dragged Jiang Chen into a meeting, and didn’t even have time to introduce friends to him. I was just thinking about taking him around.”
He Yanfeng glanced at Jiang Chen thoughtfully. He didn’t have much contact with Li Nanfeng, who usually had a smile on his face, but a young man who had just been in Li De for three years could turn the shareholders’ meeting into his one man show, and could make the older generation sigh in appreciation when they mentioned him. No matter how approachable he was, He Yanfeng didn’t think he was really easy to approach.
At least, in the several cooperations between him and Li Nanfeng, he had never seen him introduce someone so sincerely, let alone protect someone so obviously.
But…..He Yanfeng laughed, it seemed Li Nanfeng was afraid that he would bully Jiang Chen, or worried that Jiang Chen would offend him, that was why he came here so impatiently to take him away.
He Yanfeng said with a smile: “Since that’s the case, then I won’t bother you young people, just relax and have fun.”
“Definitely.” Li Nanfeng said with a smile: “Then Uncle He, we’ll leave first if there’s nothing else.”
He Yanfeng nodded, raised his eyes and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Shi Fengyue walking towards this side at an unhurried pace. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: “Feng Yue is here today too?”
Li Nanfeng looked back at Shi Fengyue who had already approached, and said: “Yes, he has been busy in the hospital since he returned to China, and he finally has a day off today, and it also happened to be Qian Yang’s birthday, so we came here together.”
After the words fell, Shi Fengyue had already walked up to him. He nodded slightly to He Yanfeng and Yang Yun, “Uncle He, Aunt Yang.”
After saying hello, he looked down at Jiang Chen and said, “Tell me when you go back, and I’ll send you.”
Jiang Chen paused, then smiled: “Okay.”
He was not slow, the reason Li Nanfeng and Shi Fengyue would come here at this time, it was very likely that they were worried that he had no experience in facing this kind of situation, so they came to help him out and support him. Although he knew that they had misunderstood, he also could not ignore or reject their kindness with peace of mind.
He Yanfeng was really surprised now: “You know each other?”
Shi Fengyue: “Yes.”
Li Nanfeng smiled and said: “The reason I could meet Jiang Chen is because of Shi Fengyue.”
He Yanfeng raised his eyebrows, someone who could have Shi Fengyue introduce him to Li Nanfeng, and being valued so much by Li Nanfeng…..Thinking of the cooperation project with Jiang Chen that Li Nanfeng mentioned before, he suddenly became curious: “Before, you said that you and Jiang Chen are business partners, what are you cooperating on?”
“The cooperation project has to be kept secret for the time being.” Li Nanfeng said with a smile: “Uncle He must forgive me, it’s related to commercial secrets.”
He Yanfeng looked at Jiang Chen, and was even more surprised in his heart. How capable was this young man who had just reached maturity, such that two of the most talented figures among the younger generation in the circle showed such favor towards him.
“It seems that Li De is preparing to make a big move.” He Yanfeng smiled at Jiang Chen and said, “I look forward to hearing good news from you.”
Jiang Chen smiled and said, “Thank you Uncle He.”
Li Nanfeng said: “Then Uncle He, we’ll go over first, Jiang Chen hasn’t eaten yet, so we’ll take him over to eat something.”
Yang Yun heard this and said: “Xiao Chen, Auntie heard that you like to eat braised meatballs. Just now I heard you arrived, so I asked the kitchen to prepare some. Since you haven’t eaten yet, would you like to eat some?”
Jiang Chen was taken aback. Seeing Yang Yun’s expectant gaze, he opened his mouth and then slightly pursed it, then said with a smile, “Okay, thank you, Auntie.”
“You’re welcome.” Yang Yun was happy, and looked at the others with a smile: “If you haven’t eaten, you can all go to the dining room to have some.”
Li Nanfeng finally realized that he might have misunderstood just now, and thinking of what he said just now, he coughed in a low voice: “I won’t be going, just now Qian Yang said he has something to ask me, and I also have something to discuss with him.”
As soon as Li Nanfeng left, standing on both sides of Jiang Chen became He Qianmin and Shi Fengyue. Standing next to He Qianmin was Han Qiya, and opposite to Han Qiya were He Qianjian and He Yanfeng and his wife.
He Qianmin said: “Then I will go with my brother.”
Han Qiya also smiled and said, “It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten authentic Chinese braised meatballs, I’m so craving it.”
He Qianjian had been standing here since He Yanfeng and his wife came over, and he was relieved after hearing their conversation with Jiang Chen, confirming that they had not discovered Jiang Chen’s identity. But this relieved sigh had yet to fully be released when he heard Yang Yun say that she specially prepared food for Jiang Chen.
His heart tightened, and he couldn’t help observing Yang Yun’s expression carefully. After seeing the smile and fondness in her eyes, his heart sank slowly.
In his memory, Yang Yun had always been a gentle and virtuous mother who treated him and He Qianmin and He Qianyu’s friends very warmly, but even so, this kind thing of ordering the kitchen to prepare the favorite food of their friends as soon as she came back from outside had never happened before.
Moreover, Yang Yun was very good at treating everyone equally, whether it was towards the three of them, relatives’ children or their friends. But at He Qianyang’s birthday party where there were so many people, she only prepared food for Jiang Chen, so what did that mean?
The only reason He Qianjian could find was that the connection between mother and child was just thay strong. Even if she didn’t know that Jiang Chen was her son, she couldn’t help but want to like him very much.
He Qianjian lowered his eyes and suppressed the gloom in his eyes. This was something he absolutely didn’t want to see. He had to find a solution.
……
After the party was over and all the guests left, the five He family members plus He Qianyang sat in the living room to rest.
He Qianjian seemed to mention casually: “Qian Min, how did you and Jiang Chen know each other? I haven’t heard you mention it before.”
He Qianmin was texting Jiang Chen, and snorted without raising his head when he heard the words, “Is that any of your business?”
Not only He Qianjian, but He Yanfeng and Yang Yun were also very curious. Yang Yun said, “Min Min, Mom also wants to know, how did you and Xiao Chen know each other?”
He Qianmin pursed his lips, and said: “A few boys in our school picked on me before and blocked me in the alley next to the library while I was alone. My brother saved me.”
“No wonder.” He Qianjian smiled, saying in a tone that seemed to point out something: “Last time he and his two friends beat up a big group of people like me and my friends, and I was always curious about how he could fight so well. It turns out that he has a lot of experience.”
He Qianmin raised his head and looked at He Qianjian expressionlessly, “What do you mean by that?”
“Nothing.” He Qianjian said: “I’m just afraid that you would be deceived, and I want to remind you that you can know people’s faces but not their hearts, so don’t trust others too easily.”
“Deceived?” He Qianmin sneered, put down his phone and said, “Who can deceive people better than you, He Qianjian?”
He Qianjian’s expression froze slightly, and the smile on his face faded: “What do you mean by that?”
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel after just a few words, Yang Yun frowned worriedly, and turned to look at He Yanfeng.
He Yanfeng leaned close to her ear and said in a low voice: “Let them be, if we get involved all the time, they will never be able to untie their knots, maybe it’s not a bad thing to quarrel.”
Yang Yun looked at the two boys who were at war with each other, sighed softly in her heart, and didn’t speak.
He Qianmin sneered: “What do I mean, are you really not sure or not? Last time at the skating rink, you should be very clear about who was the first to provoke who, who was the first to make trouble, and who was the first to attack. If you weren’t very clear, why would you reverse the whole thing upside down when you got home?”
He Qianjian’s eyes turned cold, and from the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of He Yanfeng and his wife who were paying attention to this side. He suddenly smiled, and said in a helpless tone that seemed to say everything was as he expected: “Jiang Chen told you all this?”
“Heh.” He Qianmin smiled coldly: “My brother never told me about this. Do you think you are the only one in the skating rink? There was my friend in the rink that day.”
“Which friend of yours?” He Qianjian smiled instead of getting angry, as if he was forgiving a child who made trouble for no reason: “How do you know whether he is telling the truth or a lie? How can you be sure that he was not involved in what happened? And that what he saw was true.”
He Qianmin narrowed his eyes, stared closely at He Qianjian for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, “He Qianjian, your acting skills are really good, if you have this ability, why bother to follow these crooked ways, study more on how to act, and go make a movie, you might even win an award.”
He Qianjian sighed: “Qia Min, I know that you have misunderstood me ever since that car accident, I always felt that as your older brother, it is okay to tolerate you, even if you would rather call an outsider brother this and brother that than call me brother, I have never been angry. But you would rather believe an outsider than me, and even reverse black and white to confront me because of him, it makes me sad.”
He Qianmin sneered: “Continue acting.”
He Qianjian shook his head, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said, “I only want to say one thing. After that if you still feel that Jiang Chen is as harmless as you imagined, then I won’t persuade you anymore.”
He Qianyang, who had been playing with his mobile phone, looked up, glanced at He Qianmin who had a cold expression on his face, and then his eyes fell on He Qianjian.
He Qianjian said: “Last semester, Jiang Chen’s grades in the exams dropped to below the top hundred. Their classroom teacher scolded him for this, and he confronted their classroom teacher in public. Later, in the monthly exam, their classroom teacher lost the test papers, and suspected that some students stole them to cheat, so he took the other teachers into the classroom to search the desks. When it was Jiang Chen’s turn, Jiang Chen refused to allow anyone to touch his things, and said in front of the whole class that their classroom teacher was targeting him, that if there are test papers in his drawer, it is because their classroom teacher put them there.”
“The classroom teacher was pushed into a dilemma and finally had to give up. Who knew that Jiang Chen got first place in the exam, and the other teachers still suspected that his grades were not true, so they took him to the principal’s office to confront him. Who knew, in the end, it was their classroom teacher who got suspended.” He Qianjian said with a smile: “This is the first time I heard that a teacher, in order to maintain the fairness of the exam for the whole class, ended up being suspended from teaching because of a student whose desk was not searched.”
He Qianyang raised his eyebrows, turned his eyes to see the expressions of his uncle and aunt. Seeing that they were really listening, he thought that He Qianjian was really not a simple person, he imagined it would be difficult for his little cousin to win against He Qianjian today.
“Not only that.” He Qianjian continued: “It didn’t take long for the students and parents of their school to know about this matter. Some parents urged an investigation into this matter. In the end, not only was the classroom teacher fired, even the vice principal who supported the investigation to the end was sent to jail because of being reported.”
He Yanfeng pondered for a moment, and said, “You’re talking about Sun Tengyun? When Huang Chang wqs pulled down from his position?”
You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )
“That’s right.” He Qianjian said with a smile: “It was in that shuffle that the two teachers who offended Jiang Chen ended badly.”
“What does this have to do with Jiang Chen?” He Qianyang said jokingly: “No matter how great his ability is, he can’t affect the higher-ups, eldest cousin, you’re going too far here.”
He Qianjian: “Jiang Chen indeed can’t do it, but he knows Shi Fengyue. Huang Chang’s superior is the Zhang family, and the Zhang family and the Shi family have always been old rivals.”
“Uncle He, Aunt Yang.” Li Nanfeng put his hand on Jiang Chen’s shoulder and said with a smile, “Uncle He, I heard that this year’s new subway line would connect two stations on the land you got in the northern suburbs last year, congratulations!”
“Thank you.” He Yanfeng laughed. His eyes swept over He Qianmin who was whispering in Jiang Chen’s ear, and landed on Li Nanfeng’s arm on Jiang Chen’s shoulder: “You two know each other?”
