"Brother Chen, how is it? Is there a result? "Shen Zhenghao picked up the phone and asked.
"It was an accident, it has been confirmed …" Chen Zhantian said.
"Brother Chen, I'm sorry for your loss. You and I are both martial artists, so let's not worry too much …" Shen Zhenghao comforted him.
"I understand, thank you, Brother Shen. But this time I called you to tell you about the decision of our Chen family." Chen Zhantian said.
"The decision of the Chen family?" Shen Zhenghao was slightly stunned. What does the decision of the Chen family have to do with me? In the past, the two families were in-laws, so it was fine for him to listen to it, but now, what was he listening to?
"Chen Jinpeng has been designated as the third generation heir of the Chen family by my father. All the resources of the Chen family will be given to him. In this way, I think there is no need to cancel the marriage between our two families. The brother is gone, and the fiancee of the brother is married to the younger brother. This is a common thing in our ancient martial arts families!" Chen Zhantian first explained this matter reasonably and then said: "Brother Shen, what do you think?"
"This …" Shen Zhenghao didn't expect the Chen family to make a decision so quickly. This made him a little embarrassed. He understood what Chen Zhantian said. Not to mention that they were not married, even if they were married, it was common for the sister-in-law to marry the brother-in-law in ancient times. At least, it was reasonable from the perspective of etiquette.
Moreover, this was also a situation that Shen Zhenghao was happy to see. He had been in contact with the Chen family for so long and was only lacking the next step of substantive cooperation. If they were to die now, it would be impossible for Shen Zhenghao to contact other families in a short period of time. This would be disadvantageous to Shen Zhenghao's son in competing for the position of heir. So after thinking for a moment, Shen Zhenghao agreed: "I think there is no problem, but I need to work on my daughter's side. After all, I need her consent."
"Haha, no problem. You don't need Jingxuan's consent. How about the two children get to know each other first? Once they are familiar with each other, it will be logical." Chen Zhan Tian said. Of course, if the two of them were to come into contact with each other, the matter would be more or less settled. Once the rumor spread, how could it not be settled? Both families were people who cared about their reputation. Between the children of aristocratic families, they either didn't want to be together, or they had to persevere. Otherwise, the two families would fall out.
The Xiao family and the Cheng family, the Yue family and the Tang family, weren't they the same?
"Alright, I won't bother you anymore. There are a lot of things to take care of at home, and I have to deal with them." Chen Zhan Tian achieved his goal and no longer said anything. His son's funeral preparations had already begun.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Zhenghao sighed and looked at Shen Jingxuan. "Jingxuan, it's settled. Your marriage partner is Chen Jinpeng."
"Chen Jinpeng?" Shen Jingxuan was stunned. She could barely accept Chen Jinkun, but she looked down on Chen Jinpeng. This person did not have much ability and was a profligate son of a rich family. He followed behind Xiao Chen and used his connections to intimidate others.
Of course, what Shen Jingxuan couldn't accept the most was that this person was two-faced. This kind of behavior made her look down on him. Since he was Xiao Chen's little brother, why did he rely on Cao Yuliang?
"Chen Jinpeng has been confirmed as the third generation heir of the Chen family. All the cultivation resources will be given to him. Although this person's status in the Chen family can't catch up with Chen Jinkun, it will happen sooner or later." Shen Zhenghao said, "Jingxuan, this person is still okay. No matter what, he is better than Xiao Chen of the Xiao family, right? At least, Chen Jinpeng can still cultivate. "
"Oh …" Shen Jingxuan knew that her father had made up his mind. At this moment, nothing she said could help. In fact, Shen Jingxuan thought that Xiao Chen was better than Chen Jinpeng. At least, Xiao Chen could live well without the halo of a childe, which meant that Xiao Chen was not a loser.
…
When Xiao Chen closed the stall and went home in the evening, Jin Beibei was still there. She was commenting on a character in a TV series with Miss Xiao. Seeing Xiao Chen coming back, Cheng Mengying snorted unhappily, "Beibei and I haven't had dinner yet. You came back so late. Are you going to make us starve? Don't you know who you are? "
"Hehe …" Xiao Chen was already used to Miss Xiao's princess syndrome. He put the bag in his hand on the tea table in front of them and said, "I made fried dough twists and fried cakes for you. Have a taste!"
"Wow, cousin-in-law, you have added a new variety again? The fried dough twists look delicious! "While speaking, Jin Beibei started to eat while drooling. She picked up a piece of fried dough twists and stuffed it in.
"They look greasy. I wonder if I will get pimples on my face if I eat them." Although Cheng Mengying also felt that the fried dough twists looked delicious, she could not be happy when Xiao Chen took out delicious food since he came back so late, could she? That would be too easy to please. "However, I am a natural beauty. Let's try some of them. Which one should we eat first?"
"Wow. They are so delicious. cousin-in-law, your cooking skills are really good. Whoever marries you will be happy …" Jin Beibei ate the fried dough twists with her mouth covered in grease.
"Hey, save some for me! You damn Beibei, do you want to die? " Cheng Mengying was trying to be reserved when she suddenly discovered that there was only one fried cake left. The other three had been eaten up by Jin Beibei, and one was still in her hand. Cheng Mengying immediately grew anxious and snatched it away. "Don't you know that you should be more lenient to your cousin?"
"Aya. He is my cousin-in-law, and you are my cousin. You can eat them whenever you want. I can't, unless you give your cousin-in-law to me …" Jin Beibei picked up a fried dough twists, somewhat unwillingly.
Cheng Mengying snorted and ordered Xiao Chen, "Xiao Chen, if there is delicious food in the future, do not give it to Beibei."
"Oh, hehe." Xiao Chen smiled. Looking at the two girls eating happily, Xiao Chen also heaved a sigh of relief. To be honest, he really came back a little late. His current identity was the Young Miss's male servant. Every day, he was busy with his own matters. It was really a little unreasonable.
"Cousin-in-law, if you want to marry my cousin, you have to please me!" Jin Beibei said.
"You guys eat. I will go back to my room first." Xiao Chen was going to brew medicine. He did not want to talk about this topic anymore. After all, he felt that it was impossible for him to be with Cheng Mengying. He could joke with her, but it was not appropriate for him to joke with her all the time.
"Come back early tomorrow to buy a car," Cheng Mengying glanced at Xiao Chen and said.
"Buy a car?" Xiao Chen then remembered that Cheng Mengying said that she would buy a car on the weekend, but he was too busy and forgot about it. "Okay, I will come back in the afternoon."
After returning to his room, Xiao Chen sent a message to Tang Tang and told her that he would buy a car the next day.
Tang Tang replied quickly, "Why are you going to buy a car? It is not for you." "Hehe.
"Hehe, I'm the driver," Xiao Chen replied.
Tang Tang said, "Oh, go ahead. But you have to come in the morning. I am too busy in the morning."
"I will definitely go in the morning. I will go there early tomorrow. I will knead the fried dough twists and cover them with plastic wrap. In the afternoon, you can directly put them into the pot. "Unsurprisingly, Xiao Chen was still very proficient in making fried dough twists and fried cakes.
The next morning, or rather early, Xiao Chen got up at two o 'clock in the morning. Now that he had the advantage of making food, Xiao Chen did not want to waste it. Instead of eating instant noodles, Xiao Chen directly made a pot of lean meat porridge. After leaving a note for the First Miss and Jin Beibei, he went out.
Since he was going to buy a car that day, Jin Beibei stayed here that night.
Xiao Chen came earlier than usual, so he began to knead the dough in the yard of the granny's grocery store. However, to Xiao Chen's surprise, Tang Tang came soon.
"Why are you here so early?" Xiao Chen was a little surprised.
"You told me to come earlier. I couldn't sleep after I woke up, so I came." Tang Tang smiled and said, "Let's do it together."
"Uh, okay." Xiao Chen felt that "do it together" was a little ambiguous. However, it seemed that he had thought too much.
The car accident on the street of the morning market had no influence on the street. Ordinary people would not care about Chen Jinkun's death. Only the aristocratic families were shocked.
Some were sad, while some were happy. In fact, many aristocratic families did not want the Chen family to unite with the Shen Family through marriage. After all, if the Chen family became powerful, they would definitely threaten the status of other aristocratic families. Now that a promising member of the third generation of the Chen family had died, the marriage would definitely be ruined. Many people were laughing at the Chen family.
Unexpectedly, the Chen family reacted so fast. On the night of Chen Jinkun's death, they pushed Chen Jinpeng into the spotlight. Moreover, the engagement with the Shen Family would be inherited by Chen Jinpeng. Many aristocratic families did not expect that.
Of course, these things had nothing to do with Xiao Chen and Tang Tang at the moment. No one told them the follow-up of the matter.
Xiao Chen did not care at all. In his view, no one could suspect him of the way Chen Jinkun died, at least not at this stage. Before he showed his strength, he was still safe.
"Well, now that I think about it, it's better for us to be broken off than for Shen Jingxuan's fiancé to die. If Shen Jingxuan wants to marry in the future, her choice will be a little narrow." Tang Tang felt that Shen Jingxuan was very pitiful.
"It's okay. She didn't like Chen Jinkun. It's okay that she died." Xiao Chen used to like Shen Jingxuan. Even now, he still had a good impression of her. Naturally, he did not want to see Shen Jingxuan unhappy.
Sometimes, it was hard for Xiao Chen to tell whether he killed Chen Jinkun yesterday for Tang Tang or because he did not want Shen Jingxuan to be with Chen Jinkun. Of course, the former was definitely the main reason. The latter also faintly influenced Xiao Chen's decision.
"Hey? It sounds like you are interested in Shen Jingxuan. "Tang Tang was actually very sensitive. From Xiao Chen's tone, she heard something unusual.
