I have ten trillion licking dog gold
Chapter 1525 Stephen Chow's Movies
Years later, when Zhang Zhongquan, now over forty, had to swallow his pride and stay at his cousin's house for drinks after buying an unfinished building, he couldn't help but recall that distant afternoon when he and his wife first visited his in-laws.
To be honest, he's a bit henpecked. He's afraid to go back home because of the house issue. But if his parents-in-law dared to talk about his wife's past relationships in front of him and express regret, he would definitely slam his fist on the table!
100%!
and so.
Is this young man who claims Hang Seng Group as his own a Ninja Turtle?!
Okay.
That's definitely just bragging.
What social class is the Geng family? No matter how outstanding the Fang family's daughter is, her background is what it is, and there are some insurmountable barriers between them. They are worlds apart from the Geng family, which is richer than a country. Even if she were the Geng family's illegitimate son, the Fang family's girl would still be out of her league.
Fortunately, he hadn't taken it seriously in the first place.
At the dinner table, you know.
It's understandable for them to brag a little.
However, young people are rather impetuous and lack a sense of proportion, so they exaggerated a little bit. Now, the question facing him is whether to join in the criticism or to "help" this young man out.
Zhang Zhongquan was in a difficult position.
Because he could tell that the Fang family was very satisfied with this young man, and had even brought him to visit their homes. They would never have brought him out in public if they didn't approve of him. Yet, they insisted on exaggerating his relationship with their daughter's childhood sweetheart...
Isn't this a contradiction?
Drank too much?
It was as if two little people were fiercely fighting in Zhang Zhongquan's mind, leaving him hesitant, uncertain, and at a loss.
"It's a real shame."
All right.
He no longer needs to be caught in a dilemma.
The other person took the initiative to speak, and suddenly he became as composed as a young man in his twenties, not only not minding at all, but even smiling.
"If I hadn't missed out on Jiang Chen, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet such a wonderful girl as Fang Qing."
This is the end.
Art has been created!
Just look at Hong Xiaoyu's expression and you'll know: he was dumbfounded, filled with awe, and looked up to him with reverence; he was almost bursting into applause.
At that moment, he deeply understood that even if his cousin stagnated, he would never reach his cousin's current level in his entire life.
Pan Hui chuckled, momentarily having the illusion that "this Jiang Chen is not that Jiang Chen".
Like—this Jiang Chen is really the boyfriend my daughter brought home, just like that Jiang Chen, only he looks... the same.
Even she, who knew the truth, began to feel dazed, let alone Zhang Zhongquan, whom Jiang Huazi considered a complete fool.
He didn't know the other person was role-playing, but he was amazed by the other person's perspective.
What the hell.
It's completely off-track.
Are there really men in the world with such a broad mind?
He's a man, so he judges others by his own standards; he doesn't believe it at all!
This kid is still pretending, just in a different way, just like before!
Pretending once is one thing, we'll give the Fang family face and not expose them, but if they keep doing it, it's a bit too much.
Do they really consider this their own home?
"You know Jiang Chen?"
he asks.
Hong Ou and his wife had strange expressions.
Especially Hong Ou.
In a way, he was a particularly outsider, so it was worth closing the shop tonight.
What a wonderful meal!
"Qingqing mentioned it to me."
Qingqing.
They call each other so affectionately.
Fang Qing's face was expressionless, and her mind was probably going through all the sad things in her life.
Could this kid have been manipulated by the Fang family's daughter?
Zhang Zhongquan couldn't help but feel suspicious.
It's hard to say.
Fang's daughter is a graduate of a top university, a highly intelligent person, and she even majored in law. People like her are best at brainwashing and controlling others.
"Please don't misunderstand. Qingqing and Jiang Chen just grew up together. We were just joking. The two kids just live across the hall from each other and have always been close. They went to the same elementary, middle and high schools. Over the years, everyone has gotten used to joking about them."
The explanation for "There is no silver buried here".
However, Zhang Zhongquan did it on purpose.
This kid is so pretentious, we have to teach him a lesson.
"I know."
To his surprise, the other party remained calm and composed, nodding with a gentle smile. "They have a childhood betrothal, right?"
Zhang Zhongquan was speechless. He couldn't help but glance at Fang Qing, who remained silent, and used his eyes to express his feelings.
Girl, you know how to tame your husband!
Jiang Huazi wanted to speak, but she didn't dare. The situation was too complicated, and she was worried that she might accidentally say the wrong thing.
"Haha. That's true. So you should be nice to Fang Qing. My nephew is very outstanding now, you know what I mean."
"What Fang Qing cares about is not whether someone is outstanding or not. Even if someone is just an ordinary person, once she has chosen him, she will never abandon him."
"What are you doing standing still?"
Hong Ou suddenly looked at her son.
Hong Xiaoyu, who had been watching with great interest, turned his head in confusion, bewildered.
"Take notes."
"..."
Hong Xiaoyu was both amused and exasperated, never realizing for the first time that her father could be so humorous.
"No pen needed."
He pointed to his heart. "It's all recorded here."
Hong Ou looked at her son again and said softly, "Tell me your thoughts."
"Ok?"
“You’ve been following your brother and your sister Fang Qing around since you were little, so you should know very well what’s going on between them.”
Share your thoughts.
Hong Xiaoyu looked at the two men and women who had always walked ahead of him, who were his role models and idols, and remained silent for a moment.
"Like, Stephen Chow's movies."
Hong Ou was slightly taken aback, then smiled and picked up the cup for her son.
"Let's have a drink, you and me."
"Dry!"
At the dinner table, Zhang Zhongquan was oblivious to the whispered conversation between the father and son, his attention completely drawn to Jiang Chen.
This kid.
Don’t say anything else.
She certainly has some eloquence.
Or.
The Fang family's daughter has been very successful in brainwashing.
To put it more simply...
He's been trained to be a sycophant.
Although Zhang Zhongquan was afraid of his wife, he hated sycophants and was ashamed to associate with them. What was there to talk about with sycophants?
Let's have a drink.
He raised his glass to Jiang Chen, "Yes, you're right, so cherish it. If you miss Qingqing, you'll never meet such a good girl again."
"If we missed Qingqing, there's still Ruirui, Qianqian, Sese... Uncle Zhang, you flatter me too much."
Fang Qing finally spoke.
Caught off guard and unaware of what was happening, Zhang Zhongquan could only laugh dumbly.
Jiang Chen's heart pounded as he listened.
Rui Rui, Xi Xi, Se Se...
Thankfully, Xi Xi and Zhi Zhi aren't here.
wrong.
How could such a thing exist?
However, it was enough to make him restless and sweat profusely.
Princess Qing appears to be standing idly by, detached from worldly affairs, but in reality, she sees everything clearly and has a mind as sharp as a mirror!
"Uncle, drink."
Jiang Chen raised his glass, no longer dwelling on past grievances.
"Drink, drink."
The clueless Zhang Zhongquan was completely oblivious, but the word "uncle" evoked a complex mix of emotions in the ears of the others.
Thinking of the hardships and struggles this child had faced, Jiang Huazi couldn't help but tear up.
The wine in the bottle is getting less and less.
Instead, a drunken look crept onto the men's faces.
Zhang Zhongquan, who was the most enthusiastic, got a little drunk. When people drink too much, they tend to reveal their true feelings.
"Sis, do you think Jiang Chen still wants that house? If not, you can just transfer it to me. I'll offer 300,000 yuan." "300,000 yuan? Do you have that much money?"
"Not now, but once I return that apartment, I'll have one."
Good guy.
They're quite shrewd with their calculations.
The situation had just calmed down a bit, and my nephew seemed to be less bothered, but he immediately started scheming again.
Jiang Huazi was truly disappointed in him.
"Three hundred thousand? You're dreaming! The Third Construction Company compound will be demolished this year, and we'll be relocated to the Bibo Road area. Three hundred thousand is nothing to us then!"
Zhang Zhongquan didn't have much of a sense of shame to begin with, and now that the alcohol had diluted it, he didn't care at all even though his cousin had exposed his plan.
"Anyway, Jiang Chen is so rich, a house is nothing to him, right? Why not sell it to me, his uncle, at a discount?"
"Ha. You realize you're my uncle now? Isn't it a bit too late? Where were you when that child needed family?"
"Sister, there's no point in bringing up the past."
"If you want shade, you have to plant your own trees. Don't think that just because you're my uncle, you can do that. Even if you were my own son, you didn't raise him, so he has no obligation to take care of you!"
"Hua Zi, what you said is very true."
Fang Weiguo, also slightly tipsy, chimed in, "Zhongquan, don't even think about that house. It's the only inheritance Old Jiang left to Jiang Chen. Even if he agrees to give it to you, I won't agree."
"Brother Fang, I'm not asking for it for nothing. I'll pay for it. How about 400,000?"
“No matter how much money you have!”
Fang Weiguo, slightly drunk, said firmly, "Even if the Third Construction Company compound is demolished and moved to Bibo Road, our two families will still be neighbors."
It turned out to be the case.
Zhang Zhongquan suddenly realized, then smiled with a flushed face, "Brother Fang, Qingqing has a boyfriend now, but she still lives across the hall. Don't you feel awkward? Wouldn't it be better if I lived there instead?"
"What's so awkward about it? Even if their generation doesn't have this destiny, their children might!"
"dad!"
Is this an attempt to continue the tradition of arranged marriages between children?
"Don't mention him, he's drunk."
Pan Hui hurriedly pulled at her.
Jiang Chen kept his eyes focused on his nose, and his nose focused on his heart.
"I didn't drink too much."
Fang Weiguo said, "If you're so capable, then that kid Jiang Chen shouldn't come back. Otherwise, let's see who's embarrassed then."
Jiang Huazi and her husband looked at each other.
Ok.
I can only say that I drank quite a bit, but I was definitely not drunk.
Otherwise, why would there be a need to use the third person? Isn't that brat he's talking about sitting right here?
"Xiao Jiang, you don't have any objections, do you?"
After saying that, Fang Weiguo actually looked at Jiang Chen.
That's a double entendre!
Hong Xiaoyu wasn't quite clear-headed either; he stopped drinking after finishing one glass, reaching his limit, but at this moment he was still amazed.
Previously, he had always thought that Uncle Fang was just an ordinary working person, but now it seems that experience really does pay off!
"Of course I have no objection."
Jiang Chen forced a smile, but he couldn't express his suffering.
"Then it's settled. No matter what, you two must have a son to make up for the loss my daughter suffered."
"dad!"
Fang Qing almost stood up, but someone grabbed her and said, "Calm down. Uncle Fang has had too much to drink."
"Haha, Brother Fang, I support you! If you can't have a son with one child, then have a second or a third. Anyway, the policy has been relaxed now, so you can go all out..."
Zhang Zhongquan was completely out of control, laughing and raucous.
"shut up!"
Jiang Huazi cursed.
"I'll help him to rest for a while, you guys take your time eating."
Pan Hui forcibly pulled Fang Weiguo away from his seat, whispering, "Are you trying to die! What's wrong with you, drunk and acting like this!"
"So Brother Fang is afraid of his wife too?" Zhang Zhongquan laughed heartily.
"Send him away."
Jiang Huazi instructed her husband.
Hong Ou had a pretty good tolerance for alcohol. As the host, he had to stay sober. The drinking had gone on for a while, so he helped Zhang Zhongquan up.
"If you don't leave, your sister is going to lose her temper."
"Let her lash out if she wants to." Zhang Zhongquan waved his hand and yelled at Jiang Chen, "Kid, remember this: you can't spoil women. You have to be firm when necessary..."
"You're really asking for it!"
Jiang Huazi, unable to bear it any longer, kicked him.
Hong Ou dragged him away.
All right.
It became quiet instantly.
Only a few younger relatives remained at the dining table.
"Let me tidy up these bowls first, Qingqing, no rush, you can eat slowly."
Jiang Huazi smoothed her hair and smiled nonchalantly, saying she would start cleaning first.
"Mom, let me help you."
"What help are you offering? You sit with your brother and sister for a while."
Hong Xiaoyu wanted to escape, but there was no way to escape.
"Sister Pan, let me pour some water for Brother Fang."
It's over.
My mother has also passed away.
"This duck head tastes really good, why don't you eat it?"
Jiang Chen spoke softly, seemingly still remembering his cousin's earlier sabotage, whether due to his high alcohol tolerance or a grudge.
"Brother, I'm full, I can't eat anymore."
Hong Xiaoyu gave an awkward laugh, "I was just acting along with Uncle Fang, wasn't I? I acted really well, right, Sister Fang Qing?"
He hurriedly sought allies and reinforcements.
Fang Qing was indeed loyal and immediately stood up for him, saying, "If you don't want to eat, you don't have to. Why blame Xiaoyu?"
"Sister Fang Qing, that's not what I meant."
It was truly difficult for his younger brother, who had to mediate between the two sides. "Brother was eating with great relish just now. Everything Sister Fang Qing ate was absolutely delicious to me!"
Jiang Chen's forehead creased with black lines, as if crows had flown over the restaurant.
It was definitely not because of drinking alcohol.
Rather, this is just the level this kid is capable of.
If you can't mediate, then don't talk nonsense!
of course.
A good intention should not be criticized.
"I've been wronged."
He pulled out a tissue from the table.
No. You've been wronged.
"I'm not wronged. You are the pride of Shacheng. It's my honor to be your boyfriend."
Jiang Chen wiped his mouth as he spoke, his expression serious and earnest.
"You are the pride of the country and the pillar of the nation. It is my honor to be your girlfriend."
Tsk.
They even started being polite.
but.
What a perfect farewell speech!
"Shouldn't we shake hands?"
Jiang Chen raised his hand slightly in acknowledgment.
Fang Qing smiled, "I have oil in my hands."
Hong Xiaoyu quickly got up and started helping to get tissues, taking a moment to turn her head and ask:
"Brother, Sister Fang Qing, how many children do you plan to have?"
A "couple" turned their heads at the same time and spoke in unison.
"Shut up!" (End of Chapter)
