Mayor Chen, our family, Yunlai, didn't do anything wrong. He is a decent businessman. How could he have done anything wrong? Ouyang Xuerong defended her husband.
Then why did the Procuratorate take him away? Chen Xing was puzzled.
Ouyang Xuerong was speechless. Seeing this, Zhu Ziqing shook his head and said, "Mom, don't worry about this. Mayor Chen has been transferred away for several years. It's not convenient for him to ask about this kind of thing. Don't mention it."
Zhu Ziqing didn't want to use her relationship with Chen Xing. The more she did so, the more Chen Xing wanted to figure out what was going on.
If he didn't have such a "relationship" with Zhu Ziqing, Chen Xing had to be nosy. But now, Zhu Ziqing and he had a daughter, which made it impossible for Chen Xing to treat Zhu Ziqing as an outsider.
"Auntie, tell me, what's going on with Mr. Zhu?" Chen Xing asked with a smile.
"It's because Hong Donghua, the deputy mayor in charge of urban construction, had a problem. Our family, Yunlai, had some contacts with him when we took the city's project, so we were implicated." Ouyang Xuerong avoided the main point and dwelled on the trivial. "Mayor Chen, you are a leader. You should also know that if you want to take the government's project, it will be difficult to get the project if you don't have a good relationship with the leader. Don't you think so? Our family, Yunlai, had no choice. "
Ouyang Xuerong avoided the main point and dwelled on the trivial. Chen Xing understood that Zhu Yunlai was probably suspected of "bribery", so he was taken away. This kind of problem could be big or small. The focus of the discipline inspection department was on the officials themselves. As for the businessmen involved, they were usually assisting in the investigation. In the end, they would be lenient, depending on the situation, unless the problem was very serious. Chen Xing didn't know how serious Zhu Yunlai's problem was, so he couldn't express his opinion at this time.
"Auntie, I'll find someone to help me ask." Chen Xing pondered for a moment and replied.
"Okay, okay, it's good that Mayor Chen is willing to help me ask." Ouyang Xuerong said happily.
Chen Xing smiled and nodded. He wasn't angry at Ouyang Xuerong for asking for his help so bluntly. Perhaps it was because of Zhu Ziqing, Chen Xing couldn't help but feel a sense of closeness towards Zhu Ziqing's family.
Mom, take Nian Nian in first. I have some business to discuss with Mayor Chen. Zhu Ziqing asked again. They had been interrupted when they were talking about their daughter. Zhu Ziqing hoped to have a frank talk with Chen Xing. Since Chen Xing already knew about it, Zhu Ziqing couldn't hide it anymore.
When Ouyang Xuerong heard her daughter's words, she was obviously unwilling. However, when she saw her daughter's expression become serious, Ouyang Xuerong could only give up and brought her granddaughter into the house.
Nian Nian was very obedient. Chen Xing looked at his daughter's back, and a trace of love flashed in his eyes. Just now, she had been standing next to Zhu Ziqing obediently. After being hugged by Zhu Ziqing, she sat there motionlessly and didn't make a naughty noise. This made Chen Xing, who had been paying attention to his daughter, more and more like her.
Whether a child was obedient or not depended on the education of his parents. Zhu Ziqing smiled.
This wasn't necessarily true. Nian Nian was at the age where she was naughty. In addition, children subconsciously thought that they could do whatever they wanted. Sometimes, it was useless no matter how much their parents coaxed them. Chen Xing shook his head and smiled. He thought of the little brat at home. Once he made a fuss, even the Emperor of Heaven wouldn't be able to do anything.
It seemed that Mayor Chen also had experience in taking care of children. Zhu Ziqing smiled slightly.
"My daughter-in-law and my mother take care of the children. I don't really worry about them. However, when children are naughty, it's really a headache. They're not as obedient as Nian Nian." Chen Xing said with a smile.
Hearing Chen Xing mention his daughter, Zhu Ziqing's expression became serious. "Mayor Chen, since you already know about Nian Nian, there's no point in me denying it. Since you're sitting here today, let's talk about this."
"Well, how do you want to talk about it?" Chen Xing looked at him.
"I gave birth to Nian Nian, and I've always been the one taking care of her. I'm also very satisfied with my current life, but if there are any changes or waves, Mayor Chen, can you understand what I mean?" Zhu Ziqing and Chen Xing looked at each other.
"Do you mean that you want me to pretend that nothing happened, that I don't know anything, and that it's best if I don't come over?" Chen Xing frowned.
"Mayor Chen can understand it this way." Zhu Ziqing was silent for a moment, but in the end, he nodded.
"Ziqing, Nian Nian is your daughter, but she's also my daughter, right?" "Do you think it's fair to tell others that she's your adopted child?" "Are you going to let her grow up as an orphan?" "She may not be sensible now, but have you ever thought about what she will think when she grows up and understands?" "What will her classmates think of her?" "Will she feel inferior because of this?" "Haven't you thought about these issues that are related to the child's growth?" Chen Xing looked at Zhu Ziqing and said angrily.
"These problems you mentioned may have some impact on her growth, but I think it's more important for adults to enlighten and educate her. I think I know how to teach her how to be a confident girl. You don't need to worry about this, Mayor Chen." Zhu Ziqing shook her head.
"She's my daughter. How can I not care about her?" Chen Xing was so angry that he smiled.
"Yes, she's your daughter, but what can you bring to her?" "Can you publicly admit that you're her father?" "Can you accompany her as she grows up?" "Can you hold a parent-teacher conference for her?" Zhu Ziqing looked straight at Chen Xing. Just now, Chen Xing had questioned her several times in a row. Now, she had returned the favor.
Zhu Ziqing's words of love made Chen Xing speechless. Chen Xing found that he couldn't find any words to refute her. This made Chen Xing feel suffocated, as if there was a fire burning in his chest, but he couldn't vent it.
"Mayor Chen, see? Even you can't answer it yourself, so do you think it's meaningful for us to argue about this?" "It's the same whether you know that Nian Nian is your daughter or not, because you can't give her what she needs, so it's better not to know. You can pretend that you don't know about this matter as before, and let me and Nian Nian continue to live a peaceful life. Isn't that good?" Zhu Ziqing looked at Chen Xing calmly. When she said these words, Zhu Ziqing's heart ached for no reason. She didn't want her current life to be broken, but she didn't expect that she would feel heartache when she said these words to Chen Xing.
