In officialdom: After she left, I rose rapidly through the ranks!

After being slapped by Chen Dashan, Chen Jinghan didn't dare to say another word.

Although he felt it was a bit late, there was nothing he could do; he had to do whatever his father told him to do.

After quickly loading the cigarettes, alcohol, and valuable gifts into the car, Chen Jinghan had the driver take them to Chen Jingcheng's house.

At this moment, Chen Jingcheng has not yet returned.

Chen Dachuan and his wife, however, haven't rested yet.

It was not yet nine o'clock, and the couple were watching a TV series, with smiles appearing on their faces.

After learning about Chen Jingcheng's current rank and status, they felt much more relaxed and happy.

Their son has made something of himself, and as parents, they are naturally happy.

Many things they had worried about before suddenly seemed less worrisome. After all, their status and position were different now, and they didn't believe that any future blind date would deliberately make things difficult for Chen Jingcheng, a promising star with a bright future within the system.

After the knock on the door, Chen Dachuan stood up with a smile and said, "It's not that Jing Cheng forgot his keys, is it?"

Li Sumei smiled but didn't say anything.

When the door opened, Chen Dachuan saw Chen Dashan standing outside with a big smile on his face. He frowned slightly, but didn't get angry.

"Why are you here?"

Chen Dashan, seemingly oblivious to Chen Dachuan's displeasure, smiled and asked, "What's wrong, Dachuan? Aren't you letting your brother in?"

"I'm still carrying things, I'm so tired."

Chen Dashan was only carrying a black bag, while the driver and Chen Jinghan were carrying heavy objects.

After all, Chen Dashan was his own elder brother, and since he came to their door in the middle of the night, Chen Dachuan couldn't possibly kick them out.

After stepping aside, Chen Dashan smiled and walked in. He then directed Chen Jinghan and the driver to put the things at the door before letting the driver leave.

At this moment, Chen Dashan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, are you watching TV? I hope I didn't disturb your rest."

Li Sumei sat on the sofa, and upon hearing this, she gave a dry laugh but did not say anything.

Chen Dachuan frowned and asked, "You've come so late, is there something you need?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Dashan sighed and said, "Brother, does my coming here necessarily mean I have a reason?"

"Is it okay? Can't I come?"

"I've come here to apologize to you."

At this point, Chen Dashan slapped Chen Jinghan across the face and shouted angrily, "You bastard, you disrespectful idiot! You dare to disrespect even your own uncle! Are you going to kick me out too?"

"Kneel down before your second uncle and aunt, you fool! Just kneel there!"

Chen Jinghan already knew on his way here that Chen Dashan planned to use a self-inflicted injury ruse, but he was still unhappy and uncomfortable.

It's all because of Chen Jingcheng. If Chen Jingcheng hadn't suddenly gained status, power, and a future, would I have needed to be beaten? Would I have needed to suffer humiliation here?

But now, he has no choice but to do this.

After kneeling on the ground, Chen Jinghan looked at Chen Dachuan and his wife, and a few tears welled up in his eyes.

"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, I was wrong. I was ignorant before and drank too much. I was angry because I thought Jing Cheng could help me but was unwilling to.

"That's why I deliberately targeted Jingcheng. But Uncle and Aunt, I swear, I, Chen Jinghan, am really not that bad. I just wanted to vent my anger. I absolutely did not disrespect you."

"I still remember that when I was a child, my parents were often not at home, and it was my second uncle and aunt who took care of me and treated me like their own son."

"No matter how heartless I, Chen Jinghan, may be, I will never forget the kindness my second uncle and aunt have shown me."

"I have sworn more than once that when I grow up and become successful, I will definitely take good care of my second uncle and aunt. But now, what have I done?"

At this point, Chen Jinghan started slapping himself in the face, one slap after another, very hard, until his face turned red.

"Second Uncle and Second Aunt, I was wrong. Please forgive me. Please watch my behavior in the future. I swear, I will definitely be filial to you in the future and will never target Brother Jingcheng again. Please give me another chance."

At this moment, blood was already being drawn from the corner of Chen Jinghan's mouth.

The force he exerted was so great that it was impossible to tell whether Chen Jinghan was sincere or not.

Mr. and Mrs. Chen were honest and kind people, and seeing this scene, their anger subsided considerably.

Ultimately, it all comes down to blood ties, even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected.

Chen Dachuan sighed, grabbed Chen Jinghan's arm, and shook his head, saying, "Jinghan, forget it, it's enough that you know you were wrong."

"You don't need to treat yourself like that. You can change it in the future."

Chen Jinghan's tears flowed instantly.

However, Chen Dashan grabbed Chen Dachuan's hand and shook his head, saying, "Brother, don't worry about him. It's his own fault, and he should pay the price."

"If we don't teach him a lesson today, he might suffer even more in the future."

"So young, and he's become arrogant just because he's made some money. I can forgive how he treats others, but how dare he treat his own uncle and cousin like this?"

"We don't have such a beast in our Chen family."

After saying that, Chen Dashan seemed to be really angry, and kicked Chen Jinghan directly, knocking Chen Jinghan to the ground.

"Keep kneeling there, what are you pretending to be pitiful for?"

"Today, I'm going to show you what's what."

Chen Jinghan didn't dare to say anything more and immediately knelt on the ground, behaving obediently and looking pitiful.

Seeing this, Chen Dachuan and his wife were at a loss for words.

"Big brother, it's not that bad, it really isn't."

"Jing Han is still young. He can correct his mistakes. There's no need to hit and scold him like this."

"He's almost thirty years old, this isn't appropriate, really, it's not appropriate."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dashan gave a cold smile and shook his head, saying, "Second brother, you're just too kind."

"Anyway, don't worry about it. Today, Chen Jinghan will just kneel here."

At this point, Chen Dashan gestured for Chen Dachuan and his wife to sit on the sofa, while he sat opposite them. He sighed and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, the reason I've come here is not only to have Jing Han apologize to you, but also to apologize to you myself."

"We're brothers, brothers from the same parents. But in the end, I'm nothing special myself. I got a little angry over a petty argument. But thinking about it, what's the big deal about getting angry?"

"What does money matter compared to our relationship?"

"Jingcheng was getting married back then, so even if I was having financial difficulties, I should have lent him a hand."

"That's why I'm here!"

"Dachuan, and your sister-in-law, please don't refuse me, otherwise I won't be able to get over it in my heart."

After saying that, Chen Dashan took out his bag and placed bundles of cash on the table in front of him.
