Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 388 How Can I Blame You?

"Qiangzi, decide for yourself what to do about this matter. If you don't want to see him, just pretend you don't know about it. If you want to meet him, I support you!"

Li Dawei looked at Li Guoqiang's surprised expression, straightened his face, and then spoke seriously.

"Ok!"

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang slowly nodded in agreement, then began to ponder it in his mind.

In fact, if Li Dawei hadn't suddenly mentioned it to him, he would have almost forgotten that his original cousin was Chen Wen'an, the director of Dongcheng District.

Moreover, he really didn't expect that Chen Wen'an would actually want to see him.

Could it be that this is because Chen Wen'an knew about his outstanding achievements in the past year and wanted to recognize him as his cheap nephew again?
Or.
As he was thinking, Li Guoqiang quickly thought of Song Guochang, who was also a member of the Standing Committee of Dongcheng District, and his brows suddenly frowned.

After all, in Dongcheng District, many people with ulterior motives know that the person behind Xiangmi Zhai is Song Guochang, and he has also provided Song Guochang with a lot of good things and asked Song Guochang to use his connections.

If Song Guochang were allowed to go up, the interests of his cheap cousin Chen Wen'an would definitely be damaged.

Unless Chen Wen'an and Song Guochang are on the same front, there will definitely be a conflict.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shook his head in his heart, and then said softly to Li Dawei: "Dad, no matter what, he is my cousin. Tomorrow, I should take some time to visit him!"

"to make!"

Upon hearing this, Li Dawei felt slightly delighted, then quickly nodded and agreed.

Although he had no good feelings towards his cheap cousin Chen Wen'an, as a man, he finally saw his son become successful, so naturally he hoped to show off in front of Chen Wen'an.

In this way, when he goes to the underworld and sees his wife a hundred years later, he will have a happy face.

Soon, it was noon the next day.

Li Guoqiang first went to Zhen Hexiang's house and gave Jiang Xiaohu acupuncture. Then, according to the address provided by Li Dawei, he rushed to Chen Wen'an's house with a jar of aged wine and a large castrated chicken.

When he got there, he discovered that Chen Wen'an lived in a small courtyard inside a large compound. There were three main rooms and a kitchen that was built later in the courtyard, which was somewhat similar to Lao Luo's house.

Soon, he pushed his bicycle through the moon gate, and happened to meet a dignified and plump woman who came out of the house carrying a basin of water.

[Hey! What a handsome guy! ]

When Yu Jiaxue saw Li Guoqiang suddenly walk into the yard, she was stunned for a moment, her eyes slightly lit up, and then she opened her red lips and asked, "Little comrade, who are you looking for?"

"Hello, is this Director Chen Wen'an's home?"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly asked a question, then looked at Yu Jiaxue calmly.

If he guessed correctly, the woman in front of him should be his cheap aunt from his previous life.

Moreover, judging from the dignified demeanor that emanates from the other person's bones, it is easy to tell that the other person should be of extraordinary background, or at least from a famous family.

In this way, it is understandable why Chen Wen'an, a child from a poor family, was able to climb to the high position of a director-level official.

"Who are you? What do you want from him?"

When Yu Jiaxue heard what Li Guoqiang said, she frowned slightly, and then asked with some vigilance.

"My name is Li Guoqiang, Director Chen asked me to come here."

Li Guoqiang couldn't help but feel puzzled when he saw Yu Jiaxue's sensitive reaction, and then he answered softly.

"you"

When Yu Jiaxue heard this, her eyes widened slightly, and then she asked in surprise, "You said your name is Li Guoqiang? Then is your mother's name Chen Shuping?"

"That's right!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, and then answered seriously: "My mother's name is Chen Shuping. Do you know her?"

"Ouch!"

When Yu Jiaxue heard Li Guoqiang's confirmation, she couldn't help but said excitedly, "So you are Sister Shuping's son! No wonder I felt that he looked familiar just now! Now that I take a closer look, you really look a bit like your cousin."

As she spoke, she carefully looked at Li Guoqiang's handsome face, and compared it with her man's face. The more she looked, the more she felt that they looked a bit similar.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have let Chen Wen'an take her down so easily.

After all, it was because Chen Wen'an was so handsome that she couldn't move her legs when she saw him!
But in comparison, Li Guoqiang is of course more handsome.

Saying that Chen Wen'an looks like Li Guoqiang is just flattering Chen Wen'an.

"you are?"

After hearing this, Li Guoqiang showed a look of doubt at the right time.

"I'm your aunt!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Jiaxue immediately ran to Li Guoqiang and spoke excitedly.

After saying that, she looked at Li Guoqiang's handsome face and couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

If she had known that her eldest nephew Li Guoqiang was so handsome, she should have asked Chen Wen'an to recognize Li Guoqiang earlier.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at Li Guoqiang's handsome face makes people feel much better.

Who makes her a complete beauty-conscious person?
"Aunt?"

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows, then asked hesitantly, "So, you are Director Chen's lover?"

"Whoa!"

When Yu Jiaxue heard this, she immediately said in a somewhat annoyed tone: "Why are you still calling me Director Chen? You should call me uncle!"

As she spoke, she saw the wine jar and the large capon hung on the handlebars by Li Guoqiang, and she quickly continued, "You really are here, so why do you bring anything with you?
Hurry, park the car and go inside to sit down. Your uncle is inside! I will go and pour out the water first."

After saying that, she immediately turned around, walked to the corner, and poured the water into the sewer.

The moment he bent down, his light grey suit pants were stretched into the shape of a fruit.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang quickly looked away, pushed the bicycle aside, and took the wine jar and the big castrated chicken off the handlebars.

When Jiaxue came back from pouring the water, she saw Li Guoqiang standing upright at the door. Her heart skipped a beat and her eyes lit up instantly. Then, she suddenly thought of something and a trace of regret flashed across her face.

If she could have recognized Li Guoqiang earlier, wouldn't she have been able to raise Li Guoqiang herself?
Just thinking about the feeling of raising a handsome man made her excited. It was like those flower lovers growing a rare treasure with their own hands.

Fortunately, it is not too late now. When she thinks about being able to see Li Guoqiang from time to time in the future, she can't help but feel a little excited.

However, before that, she did not forget her important business and hurriedly took Li Guoqiang into the house.

"Brother An, Brother An, look who's here?"

Hearing the sound, Chen Wen'an, who was sitting in the room reading a newspaper, hurriedly looked up at the door, and then saw Li Guoqiang following behind Yu Jiaxue. He was stunned for a moment.

If he had not been tempered in the officialdom for many years and had not become very mentally tough, he would probably have thought that it was his poor cousin who had come back to life!
This looks so similar!

Just when he was a little dazed, Yu Jiaxue had already turned around to look at Li Guoqiang, then smiled and said: "What are you waiting for, kid, hurry up and call me uncle!"

"uncle!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang did not hesitate and directly shouted to Chen Wen'an.

After all, judging from the blood relationship of his previous life, Chen Wen'an was indeed his cousin, so there was nothing wrong with calling him that.

"Ok!"

Chen Wen'an came to his senses immediately after hearing the shout, nodded slightly and said, "I'm here! Come and sit down!"

After saying that, he pointed to the chair next to him.

When Li Guoqiang heard this, he did not sit down directly. Instead, he placed the jar of wine and the large castrated chicken that had been slaughtered on the table, and then moved over to sit down.

Even though Chen Wen'an, his cheap cousin, had never wanted to acknowledge him as his nephew before, it made no sense for him to come to the house empty-handed when visiting.

Moreover, this would also let Chen Wen'an know that things are different now and his eldest nephew is no longer a sickly person, and there is no need for him to use his family relationship to curry favor with others.

Chen Wen'an glanced at the large castrated chicken weighing more than ten pounds on the table, as well as the jar of wine that was obviously not ordinary stuff, and his eyes flickered slightly.

Then, he smiled, turned his head to look at Li Guoqiang, and said softly: "Qiangzi, you have grown up so much in the blink of an eye. If your mother were still alive, she would definitely be very pleased to see how outstanding you have become now."

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang did not say anything, but just nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Then, he just looked at Chen Wen'an quietly, waiting for Chen Wen'an to tell him the purpose of asking him to come over.

"that."

Seeing this, Chen Wen'an's face flashed a hint of embarrassment, then he cleared his throat and continued, "I heard that you have a good relationship with Deputy District Chief Song of our district committee. Some people also said that you are his nephew. Is this true?"

"Oh!"

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows, then said calmly: "You are talking about this matter! Actually, the thing is like this"

Soon, he told the story of the relationship between Wu Cai'e and Chen Shuping.

"So that's it!"

After listening to this, Chen Wen'an suddenly felt a little enlightened.

In fact, when he learned that Song Guochang's nephew was his cousin's child, he always felt it was strange.

He clearly remembered that Chen Shuping had no sisters, let alone one who married Song Guochang.

It turns out that this relationship was obtained from Chen Shuping’s fellow sisters!
Since this is the case, he cannot force Li Guoqiang to cut off contact with Song Guochang. He can only try to ask Li Guoqiang to get him some good things like those from Song Guochang.

When the relationship deepens, I will pull Li Guoqiang over to help him.

Thinking of this, the smile on his face suddenly became more friendly and amiable, and then he laughed and said, "As far as I know, you should have brought a lot of good things to Deputy District Chief Song before!"

"Actually, it's nothing!"

Li Guoqiang shook his head when he heard this, and then answered softly, "I just happened to get some game, tea, and wine from the countryside, and my uncle also helped me a lot, so I gave the things to him as a token of my appreciation."

What he meant was that he would only give things to Song Guochang because Song Guochang helped him.

Chen Wen'an was of no help to him at all, so he shouldn't bother thinking about it.

Chen Wen'an naturally understood what was said. His face darkened for a second, but he soon smiled again and said with admiration, "Not bad. You are a good boy for repaying kindness."

As he spoke, he suddenly shook his head, then sighed and continued, "Alas! Actually, this is also my fault. When your father came to find me, I happened to be out on business, and when I came back, no one told me about this.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have waited until now to find out that Sister Ping has a child like you.

You won't blame me, right?"

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang smiled slightly, then shook his head and said, "No, how could I blame you! After all, you don't know about this.

Besides, you should blame me for not coming to visit you again in all these years."

After these words were spoken, Chen Wen'an's face suddenly froze again, and then he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea somewhat unnaturally.

Originally, he was thinking that he could just say a few polite words to cover up the fact that he had not recognized Li Guoqiang before.

However, he did not expect that Li Guoqiang would directly respond with the trick of making indirect accusations.

Come to think of it, as he is a department-level official, if someone really came to his house and said he was his cousin's husband, how could the people under him dare to hide it from him?

Unless he himself does not take his cousin-in-law seriously, he would act as if this incident never happened.

Just as he was thinking about what he should do to make Li Guoqiang agree to help him get the same good stuff as Song Guochang had, or even better stuff, Yu Jiaxue, who had been sitting nearby and listening for a while, thought that things were really as he said, and hurriedly spoke to comfort him:

"It's okay! Your uncle is not a stingy person. Just come over more often when you have time."

"Ok!"

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang turned his head and glanced at Yu Jiaxue, then nodded obediently and agreed, "I'll listen to my aunt. I'll come over to visit my uncle more often when I have time."

After saying that, he glanced at Chen Wen'an lightly, and couldn't help but feel curious about what methods Chen Wen'an would use to get him to help get those good things, or even to stop him from providing those good things to Song Guochang.

You know, Song Guochang even lost his wife!
