Huh?
Speaking of servants and chauffeurs …
Tang Xiling quickly glanced at the chauffeur and interrupted him. "Yaozhong, don't talk nonsense! It's not the pre-liberation era anymore. You're standing under the blue sky of socialism. You're not allowed to talk about servants and chauffeurs … Only capitalists would say such things. They're called nannies, workers who help you take care of your family! With your ideology, you'll get yourself into trouble if you talk! "
She was someone who had gone through ten years of turmoil. Whenever she talked about the past, she still had lingering fears … Her words and actions were still bound by the norms of the times.
Chen Yaozhong laughed and patted her leg. "Okay! Okay! I won't talk about it anymore. My original intention was to find a few … erm, workers to take care of my family! I'm not in good health, so I can't handle everything at home. I don't want you to be too tired! "
He had been served by others all his life. At the beginning, he was the young master of his family. Later on, he was a warlord, and then a capitalist … Without servants around him, he couldn't live at all.
Tang Xiling nodded perfunctorily. "Let's think about it at length, let's think about it at length."
She was afraid that when the couple returned to China, they would get into trouble with these details.
The car drove on.
Soon, they arrived at the "Welcome Hotel" where the Provincial Party Committee only received VIPs … The courtyard was surrounded by winding paths, and the environment was elegant. Behind the rows of trees, there were several villas and small buildings.
The "Hongqi Sedan" drove to Courtyard 2 with ease. The chauffeur stopped the car and hurriedly carried the luggage into the house.
Chen Jiaxuan was in charge of everything.
Chen Yaozhong had always been in a superior position. He didn't have to worry about these things at all.
He directly got out of the car and walked slowly into the villa … He looked up and saw that the large living room was decorated in an antique style. It was simple but not lacking in elegance. There were three bedrooms on the first floor, and the stairs were covered with red carpet. He didn't know what the second floor looked like, but he thought that the conditions would not be wrong.
He couldn't help but nod … He was basically satisfied with this arrangement.
Tang Xiling helped him sit on the sofa. Then, she turned around and took Little Fengshou. She hugged her grandson in her arms and played with him. She then sat beside Chen Yaoxuan. The couple lowered their heads and smiled … They looked like they were playing with their grandson.
Mi Xaing 'er turned around to brew a pot of tea and gently placed it on the coffee table. Then, she sat opposite the two of them and quietly looked at them. She didn't know what to say … She really didn't want to interrupt their moment of happiness and peace.
Chen Piixuan finished everything and entered the living room, but he didn't dare to sit down. He lowered his hands and stood behind Chen Yaozhong's sofa.
Military Commander Chen turned his head to look at him and lifted his chin towards the chair opposite him. "Xuan 'er, have a seat!"
Chen Jiaxuan agreed and then sat down respectfully across from him. He coughed softly and said, "Dad, you must be tired from the long flight. You look good. What did the doctor say before you left the United States?"
This was also the question Mi Xaing 'er wanted to ask.
Chen Yaozhong finally looked away from Little Fengshou's face … Although he was answering his adopted son, his eyes were looking at his daughter. "The doctor said the operation was very successful. Most of the tumor has been removed. As for whether it will continue to grow in the future and to what extent, we can only leave it to fate! We've done our best! Life and death depend on fate! "
He was a person who had experienced life and death on the battlefield … Therefore, when he spoke, he unconsciously revealed a kind of open-mindedness that was different from ordinary people.
Tang Xiling heard this and felt sad. She sighed softly and said, "Don't say that."
Chen Yaozhong quickly coaxed her. "Don't say it! Don't say it! I can live to a hundred years old. Our family will be reunited. I still want to see Fengshou get married and have children! "
Tang Xiling looked at Mi Xaing 'er. "Oh right! When I came back this time, I wanted to ask Magic Doctor Xiao to take a look at your father's illness! "
Mi Xaing 'er quickly replied, "That's not a problem. Before I left, my mother-in-law specially tugged on my sleeve and told me that you guys can go over tomorrow!"
Tang Xiling was a little happy. "That's great, Amitabha."
For her husband to live a healthy life … She was willing to sacrifice a few years of her life and worship any Bodhisattva.
Chen Yaozhong patted her leg with heartache. "You silly girl, everyone will die one day. You have to accept these things! I'm so much older than you, so I'll always be ahead of you. I'm not afraid of anything else. I can arrange all the material things for you. I'm just afraid that you'll be sad when the time comes! "
He glanced at Mi Xaing 'er. "Xiang, your mother and I have already registered in America. Although the wedding hasn't been held yet, it's because Xiling doesn't know anyone over there. She feels that there's no point in holding a wedding … so I went along with her wishes!"
The first thing he said … was to reassure Mi Xaing 'er and also to clear his wife's name. "However, it's different over here. I have my own plans. I want to go back to Siyuan Village and hold a grand wedding. Your mother has waited for me for so many years. I want to marry her grandly in front of the whole village. This is also my lifelong wish!"
These words … Not only were they affectionate, but they were also respectful.
No wonder Tang Xiling waited for him for 20 years. Having such an infatuated man was like water that had sailed the vast ocean. Other men … could only be considered as "making do", right?
Chen Yaozhong turned his gaze to Chen Jiaxuan. "Xuan 'er, I'm not in good health. Mi Xaing' er is busy with her studies. I'll leave the wedding to you! Try to do it as soon as possible. Don't drag it out until I can't … Mm, don't drag it out for too long! You know what I mean, right? We have to hold a grand wedding! No matter what it is? Every detail has to be the best! "
Tang Xiling called out softly, "Yaozhong …"
She was touched, but she didn't know what to say.
Chen Yaozhong didn't answer. He gently rubbed her knee.
Then he continued, "Xuan 'er, there's one more thing. I still remember the Tang family's old mansion. After so many years, I don't need to see it to know what it looks like now! Hurry up and get someone to renovate it! Make sure everything is done before the wedding! I, Chen Yaozhong, married a woman and let her house remain old … This can't be justified! "
Chen Jiaxuan answered respectfully, "Yes! I've noted it down. I'll get it done right away! "
At this point …
What else could Mi Xaing 'er say?
She looked at her mother with a smile and said, "Mom, congratulations. You've waited for this day."
Chen Yaozhong looked at his daughter with a smile. He wasn't reserved at all and even joked, "Xiang 'er, you said it the other way round. You should congratulate me first! I owe your mother a wedding, and now I've finally fulfilled my wish! Then I can legitimately give you and your mother the best life possible! It'll make up for all the regrets I've had all these years! "
Mi Xaing 'er comforted her generously, "Mm …"
She still didn't call him "Dad". "When you went to America and what happened after that, it wasn't your intention. I can only say that it was fate that made fools of you! Even my mom understands you. What right do I have to complain? It's a mistake of the times. No one owes anyone anything! "
Chen Yaozhong's heart warmed when he heard that. "Xiang 'er, no wonder your mother always says that you're a sensible child. After listening to you today and seeing your behavior, although it's only been a short time, I'm not a fool. I can see right away … You're arrogant and proud like me, and you're considerate and gentle like Xiling! That's great! With a daughter like you, I'm content for the rest of my life! "
He sat up straight and took a deep breath. "Let's talk about family matters later. There'll be plenty of opportunities to experience love in the future! To be honest, Xiang 'er, the main reason I came back this time was for you. I want to spend some warm time with you as a father and fulfill my long-cherished wish of many years. I also want to fight for a glorious future for you and fulfill my responsibility as a father! "
He raised a finger at Chen Jiaxuan. "Xuan 'er, open my suitcase. There's a small red sandalwood box inside …"
Chen Jiaxuan did as she was told. She opened the suitcase, took out a dark box from the compartment, and handed it to her adoptive father.
Chen Yaozhong waved his hand. "Give it to Mi Xiang."
Mi Xaing 'er took it curiously.
She opened the box and saw that it was covered with blue velvet. There was a rhinoceros horn seal and a small key on it.
Mi Xaing 'er glanced at it. Although the seal was in large seal script, she could still recognize Chen Yaozhong's name.
As for the key?
She raised her head in puzzlement. "This is …"
Chen Yaozhong raised his eyebrows slightly. "As an incompetent father, this is the first time I've seen my biological daughter in 20 years. I should at least give her a greeting gift, right?"
"…"
"As for that seal, I'm sure you can guess it. As long as it's related to me, all the legal documents and decisions of the company have to be stamped with it! As for the key? You can open my safety deposit box at the Swiss bank! It contains all my real estate deeds, including the old castle in England, the winery in France … and my countless antique collections! "
He smiled proudly. "God is fair. I've missed out on kinship in this life, but I've made up for it in material terms! Diligence makes up for stupidity. I'm not being modest, but I've made some achievements in my career! "
"…"
"Xiang 'er, from now on, my company and assets are yours. I've already completed the legal transfer of ownership. Don't ask me how much money I have! I didn't calculate it carefully! However, I'm sure of one thing. From now on, even if you don't do anything and only change to a steel basket, stand on the bridge and throw it into the river every day … you'll still be able to afford it for the rest of your life! "
Chen Yaozhong crossed his legs and said nonchalantly, "… No matter how you want to spend the money or how you want to deal with my company, I have no opinion at all! I just want to spoil you and your mother! "
