Who wants to take the civil service exam after being reborn?

Chapter 691 Committee Member Chen, who rubs his nose whenever he lies
"This is a friend of mine named Huang Cancan, who works at a TV station."

Seeing that everyone in the family was looking at him, Chen enthusiastically introduced, "We originally planned to get together before the New Year to chat about work and stuff, but I thought eating out was too expensive, so I just invited everyone home to join in the fun..."

Chen Peisong thought to himself, "What kind of nonsense is this? Do you think your dad is a three-year-old?"
With your current net worth, do you still need to pay attention to the price of food?

But how could Chen Zhe know that we were planning to "break up the couple" today?

Could it be...

Old Chen glanced at his wife, who was lost in thought. Could it be that "Director Mao" was reluctant to say anything harsh and had told Chen about the plan ahead of time?

Therefore, Chen Zhe dared not let Song Shiwei appear, but he had told his grandparents in advance that a friend was coming to the house, so for the sake of his own face, he simply asked an acquaintance to handle the situation.

It must be said that Lao Chen's analysis at that moment was logically sound.

Although Huang Cancan was indeed very good-looking and had an outstanding temperament, Chen Peisong knew at a glance that she was not his "daughter-in-law".

Even "beautiful" has different levels.

Compared to Xiao Yu's exquisite and bright features, and Xiao Song's scholarly air like a clear spring, this Miss Huang in front of me lacked a sense of substance and depth; she was more like a pretty vase.

"Grandpa and Grandma, Chen told me you came to Guangzhou for the Chinese New Year."

Huang Cancan placed the Ganoderma lucidum spore powder in her hand next to her grandparents and said with a smile, "The advertisement says that this stuff is mild and can improve the body's immunity without side effects. My mom took it and the effect was pretty good. I hope it can help you two improve your health."

When it comes to social niceties, Sister Chest Trembling, who has attended many social events, is quite skilled.

"Auntie."

Huang Cancan walked up to Mao Xiaoqin and took out a gift box from her bag: "This is a silk scarf that a colleague from the station brought back from studying in France. I think with your temperament, Auntie, you would definitely look especially charming wearing it."

At this moment, Mao Xiaoqin's expression had returned to normal, and she said with a smile, "It's too much of a waste, Xiao Huang. Auntie usually just sees patients and cooks, so she can't really wear it properly. Such a fashionable thing is more suitable for you young people to use. You should take it back."

It seemed polite, but it also implied a hint of rejection.

Although Empress Dowager Mao was relieved that it wasn't Song Shiwei, she was also annoyed that her plans had been disrupted. Therefore, this polite refusal also served as a warning to her son.

Huang Cancan's smile froze for a moment.

She was already quite nervous, so much so that she regarded this visit as a "gift from the host." When she saw her attempts to please Dr. Mao being gently pushed away, she was momentarily stunned and didn't know what to say.

"Mom, this isn't for you to wear while working or cooking."

Chen calmly accepted the silk scarf gift box: "This is for you to wear around your neck to keep out the wind when you go shopping with your grandma... Sister Can Can, why don't you sit next to my grandma?"

It's good to have your maternal grandmother around; she can easily suppress Empress Dowager Mao.

"Come on, come on, Xiao Huang, come chat with us."

The two aunts, who love to gossip, may have all the usual quirks of rural women, but their hospitality and warmth are genuine, which conveniently interrupted this little disturbance.

Mao Xiaoqin, being the deputy director of a top-tier hospital, watched her son's performance and gradually calmed down.

Why give Miss Huang such a hard time during the Chinese New Year?

Perhaps this child was only invited by Chen Zhe and was forced to come and "take the blame"!
Like Chen Peisong, Mao Xiaoqin also does not consider Huang Cancan to be a "daughter-in-law." On this point, the couple are in complete agreement.

"Xiao Huang, please have a seat."

Mao Xiaoqin sighed and said kindly, "I found the cosmetics I bought at SKP last time. Remember to take them back after you finish eating."

"Auntie, no need, no need."

Huang Cancan originally thought that Dr. Mao disliked her, so she didn't even want to accept the scarf.

Now that Dr. Mao was offering to return the gift and inviting him to stay for dinner, and his tone was less distant, I finally felt relieved.

"It's okay, I usually don't even think about using them for skincare."

Empress Dowager Mao walked towards the bedroom and, finding a plausible excuse, called her son over: "Chen, I put those cosmetics on the cabinet, could you help me get them?"

Chen's heart skipped a beat; this was clearly a case of being dragged into a corner and thoroughly scolded.

He was a little unhappy.

But when he saw Empress Dowager Mao standing at the bedroom door, neither angry nor furious, just staring at him calmly and indifferently.

"I'm coming……"

With his very perceptive eyelids, Committee Member Chen realized that his mother was actually on the verge of "exploding anger," but she had been very patient and had endured it until now.

Let them scold me if they want; it's not like it'll hurt me or anything.

After entering the bedroom, Dr. Mao closed the door expressionlessly, then crossed his arms and coldly stared at his son, who was enjoying immense success outside.

"mom."

Chen smiled sheepishly: "Which cabinet do you put the cosmetics on? I have to go out in a bit. Mao Rui just said he has a math problem to ask me."

"Don't worry about Mao Rui. If he doesn't get into university, he can sell fish!"

Dr. Mao had a sullen face and didn't even bother with his nephew's studies.

"click~"

The bedroom door opened again, and Chen thought his savior had arrived, but it turned out to be just Chen Peisong sticking his head out.

Old Chen probably wanted to know what was going on, so he came over under the same pretext.

Ho!
Has it gone from "single interrogation" to "mixed doubles"?

"What's going on with Xiao Huang?" Empress Dowager Mao asked in a low voice, scrutinizing Chen Zhe.

"What's going on?"

Committee member Chen continued to play dumb: "I already told you yesterday that a female friend is coming to my house for dinner."

"Not Weiwei?"

Empress Dowager Mao frowned deeply.

"I only said 'not Yu Xian,' not 'it must be Song Shiwei.' You misunderstood, what does it have to do with me!"

Committee Member Chen feigned grievance and offered a defense.

"you……"

Empress Dowager Mao finally realized that she had fallen into a preconceived notion and naturally reserved only the name "Song Shiwei" in addition to "Yu Xian".

Who would have thought that the son's so-called "female friends" were actually just "friends who are female".

The room fell silent for a moment, with bursts of harmonious laughter coming from outside.

Chen Peisong was also helpless. Judging from his wife's reaction, the plan to "break up the couple" was probably not revealed by her. It was purely that Chen was one step ahead and had anticipated our prediction.

It's unbelievable. This kid was in Heyuan yesterday, and he's already setting up his house for today?
He plans one hundred steps ahead for every step he takes; no wonder he has achieved such success.

Old Chen has really misunderstood Dr. Mao. She made such a big decision after tossing and turning all night, how could she possibly reveal it on her own initiative?

In fact, the most conflicted person in the whole affair was Empress Dowager Mao, who is now caught in a dilemma.

Criticizing Chen would only make me look stupid, unable to even see through this simple wordplay.

If I don't scold him, I feel so angry and anxious.

After a long pause, Dr. Mao, who had seen all sorts of bizarre patients, took a deep breath, put the matter aside for the time being, and asked in a deep voice, "When will Weiwei come to our house?"

Chen didn't answer, but instead asked, "You really want her to come over, you wouldn't be planning something sinister, would you?"

"Stinky boy!"

Chen Peisong pretended to raise his arm as if to slap him: "What nonsense are you talking about? Think about it yourself. If Chairman Song and Professor Lu knew that you treated Xiao Song like this, wouldn't they be angry?"

In reality, given Chen Zhe's current influence, Lao Song and Professor Lu can no longer pose any real obstacle to him.

But aside from their "social identity," they are also Sweetie's parents, which is a perspective that can genuinely make the scoundrel feel conflicted and guilty.

Therefore, Chen remained silent.

When is Weiwei coming to our house?

Dr. Mao asked again.

"Hard to say."

Chen rubbed his nose and said, "Her family went to Zhuhai for the Chinese New Year."

"Oh."

Mao Xiaoqin nodded slightly. Knowing that Song Shiwei had relatives in Zhuhai, she said, "So we won't be able to see her before the New Year?"

"It will be difficult to make a decision even after the New Year. Last year, she went to Singapore with Professor Lu."

Chen rubbed his nose again: "Anyway... there are no plans for her to come to our house during the winter break."

Chen Peisong and Mao Xiaoqin exchanged a glance, their expressions quite different.

Old Chen was a little regretful, but more worried. The longer this matter dragged on, the deeper Chen and Xiao Song's feelings would become, and the more troublesome it would be to break them off.

Mao Xiaoqin's feelings were exceptionally complex. She shared the same regret and worry as her husband, but also felt a sense of relief, finally free from the sadness of that young girl.

However, when Dr. Mao heard that he wouldn't be able to see Weiwei for the entire winter break, a slight sense of loss flashed through his heart.

Anyway, humans are really a very complex species.

Fortunately, there is the lively Xianmei'er, who can make up for this regret.

"Can I go out now?"

Chen said, "Mao Rui is still waiting for me to explain the math problems."

"go Go."

Mao Xiaoqin waved her hand weakly, trying to calm herself down, as she was almost numb from being pulled so much.

"correct."

Chen paused for a moment, then rubbed his nose and said, "I have something to do tomorrow, so I probably won't be home. I'll arrange some cars and drivers for you, so you can keep Grandpa and Grandma company."

"Oh."

Dr. Mao didn't take it seriously: "I told you to take Yu Xian home tomorrow, so let's do it the day after tomorrow."

"No rush... you'll see it eventually."

Chen gave a reassuring reply, then closed the bedroom door and left.

Chen Peisong was left muttering to himself, "Is the air in the house bad? Why does Chen keep rubbing his nose unconsciously?"
