Zhao Guoli still had something to say. When his wife came over at night, she might have come with the intention of ridiculing and making sarcastic remarks. Even for him, he also came with a disdainful attitude. They had never thought that Chen Xing's partner would have such a powerful background. When they came over, they only thought that Chen Xing might have married the daughter of a rich family. Who would have thought that it would turn out this way?
I just can't take it lying down. Zhao Yiping was indignant. She didn't deny that she really wanted to come over tonight to see who Chen Xing was engaged to and say a few sarcastic words. However, the result was the opposite.
Even if she couldn't take it lying down, she had to. Otherwise, what else could she do? Yiping, I've already advised you not to think about the past. Chen Xing is no longer the person he used to be. It's already good enough that he doesn't hold a grudge against us. Don't think about finding trouble with him. In the past, we were the ones who bullied him. What he did tonight is already considered polite to us. Zhao Guoli shook his head. Tonight, we took the initiative to come over. We can't blame others. What happened in the past was also our fault. Don't take it to heart.
If Xiao Xiang hadn't said that he would come over tonight, we wouldn't have come over to suffer. Zhao Yiping couldn't help but want to transfer her anger to her son-in-law again. Zhao Guoli, who was listening at the side, smiled bitterly.
Zhao Guoli turned his head to look at his son-in-law's car behind and reminded him. You can say this in front of me, but don't let Xiao Xiang hear it. It will affect the relationship between the two families.
Zhao Yiping listened to her husband's advice and pursed her lips, but she didn't say anything. She was not that inconsiderate. She had always been very satisfied with Sun Xiang as her son-in-law. At this time, she just lost her temper because she had nowhere to vent her anger. If she didn't want to come over, she wouldn't have come no matter what Sun Xiang said. The root of the problem was actually her, but people like Zhao Yiping were never willing to find problems in themselves. Her official career had always been smooth. She became a big leader from a young age, and her arrogance became more and more serious. Zhao Yiping just didn't realize it.
No one knew what Zhao Guoli was thinking about, but Zhao Yiping was also silent. Tonight's difference was too great, and Zhao Yiping still couldn't accept such a fact. However, the reality was right before her eyes. Chen Xing had hooked up with the Zhang Family, which was a huge mockery to Zhao Yiping. In the past, the Zhang Family looked down on Chen Xing, but now, Chen Xing had turned the tables and slapped them in the face. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Chen Xing's grand turnaround was like a carp leaping through the dragon's gate. Compared to Zhou Mingfang, who was his backer, the Zhang Family was a colossus. Zhou Mingfang was nothing more than an official who relied on the Zhang Family. It was conceivable that as long as Chen Xing didn't make any big mistakes of principle, his career would definitely be smooth.
"In the past, we looked down on Chen Xing, who was a commoner, and forcibly separated him and Little Ran. Now, it's too late to regret it. The mistake has been made, and it can't be undone. If we didn't separate them at that time, Chen Xing would be our son-in-law now." Zhao Guoli suddenly sighed with emotion. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful for what he had done a few years ago.
If Chen Xing had become our son-in-law then, would he still be of any value for us to discuss today? Zhao Yiping curled his lips disapprovingly and looked annoyed.
"That's right. If Chen Xing had become our son-in-law, his life would have been on a different track, and he wouldn't have achieved what he has today. I've thought too much." Zhao Guoli smiled bitterly and shook his head. "We separated him and Little Ran, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise for him. Chen Xing should actually thank us.
"Hmph, you should say this to him. What's the use of saying it to me?"
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about him. Let's go back and pretend that tonight's matter never happened. Don't make trouble for yourself. As for Chen Xing, just don't provoke him in the future. I think he won't deliberately make things difficult for us." Zhao Guoli comforted her.
"What right does he have to make things difficult for us? He's just a county magistrate now. Why don't he try to make things difficult for me, the mayor?" A murderous look appeared on Zhao Yiping's face, but the next moment, she could not help but feel a little discouraged. Chen Xing himself could not make trouble for her, but he had a big backer like the Zhang Family. In her eyes, Chen Xing was a small divisional cadre, but in the eyes of the Zhang Family, she, the mayor of Hai City, was nothing more than a small departmental cadre. If the Zhang Family wanted to make things difficult for her, it would only take a few words from them. Even her backer, the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Jiang City, such as Ge Jian-ming, did not dare to offend the Zhang Family at all.
The Chen Family could be said to be proud and elated tonight. Although the couple, Chen Shuiping and Zou Fang, did not dare to directly humiliate the Zhao Family as they had expected, this silent slap was better than a sound slap. There was no need for the Chen Family to say anything sarcastic. The scene at night was enough to make the Zhao Family lose face. This made Zhao Yiping feel even more uncomfortable than directly humiliating Zhao Yiping. She could only swallow her anger.
After Zhang Guohua and the others left, the atmosphere at the scene was no longer so restrained. Some of the relatives of the Chen Family dared to speak loudly. Each of them was full of joy, but most of them were envious of Chen Shuiping and Zou Fang for having such an outstanding son. Of course, this also made the big Chen Family proud. Not to mention anything else, just because Chen Xing had become the county magistrate, these relatives in the village followed suit. The cadres in the town would be polite to them when they met. This change could be seen by everyone. Now that Chen Xing could even marry the governor's daughter, it undoubtedly became the capital for these people to go back and talk about and show off. Chen Shuiping and Zou Fang were talking to Zeng Yun.
Chen Shuiping and Zou Fang were talking to Zeng Yun. Compared to Zhang Guohua, the gentle Zeng Yun made Chen Shuiping and Zou Fang feel less pressured. Moreover, Zeng Yun didn't have the slightest arrogance, which made it easier for Chen Shuiping and Zou Fang to accept her. They couldn't help but think that only such parents could raise a daughter like Zhang Ningning. Just by looking at the Zhao family, they knew that like mother, like daughter. Although Zhao Qing didn't say anything bad to the Chen family, she still looked down on Chen Xing's parents.
If Chen Shuiping and Zou Fang knew that Zeng Yun was also a department cadre in the Ministry of Finance, they would not be as calm as they were now. In a department like the Ministry of Finance, even if a local deputy provincial cadre wanted to ask for funds from the Ministry of Finance, he would have to smile when he met a department cadre in the Ministry of Finance. This was the advantage of the Ministry. The people in the central ministries and commissions had this confidence and arrogance. Zhao Yiping, a department cadre, was also very great. If she went to the Ministry of Finance to ask for financial support, she would probably run into walls everywhere. She would have to smile everywhere, but she would not necessarily get any funds.
Zeng Yun did not mention her job, so Chen Shuiping and Zou Fang did not think too much about it. They thought that Zeng Yun was only full-time at home to take care of the family. Looking at Zeng Yun's modest smile at the moment, who would have thought that she was also a department cadre.
Zeng Yun could not say whether she was satisfied or dissatisfied with this son-in-law of Chen Xing. After all, he was from a well-known family and had lived in the capital for a long time. Zeng Yun had seen too many outstanding young people. Although Chen Xing, a 29-year-old county magistrate in Hai City, looked very great in Hai City, and had a great reputation. When others heard about him, they would give him a thumbs-up. He was the youngest county magistrate in Hai City, and he was already a senior official at such a young age. However, in the central ministries and commissions, a 29-year-old director was really very ordinary. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was mediocre. Not to mention a 29-year-old director, even a 29-year-old deputy director could be found in the central ministries and commissions, but it was relatively rare.
Zeng Yun's first impression of Chen Xing came from her daughter Zhang Ningning's preferences. Because her daughter liked him, Zeng Yun did not feel repulsed when she first met Chen Xing. In addition, this matter had already been decided by the old master, so Zeng Yun would not say anything that displeased him. Although Chen Xing did not make him feel that he was very outstanding, it was because he had seen too many outstanding young people. On the contrary, it made Zeng Yun feel that the most important thing about a young person was not how outstanding he was, but his inner character. A person's character did not matter too much as long as his character was good. Anyway, with the help of the Zhang family's resources, as long as he was not a piece of mud, he could be supported to the wall.
Zeng Yun did not leave until nearly nine o 'clock. She was also a descendant of a famous family, but she could get along well with Chen Shuiping and Zou Fang, who were from ordinary families. She was not pretentious at all, which made Chen Shuiping and Zou Fang laugh and talk all night. In addition, the relatives of the Chen family also had fun with them. Although there were not many people in the evening, it was very lively.
The small engagement ceremony was not grand, but it was a ceremony witnessed by the parents of the two families. The faces of Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning were full of happy smiles. There were still more than two months before the wedding day, but the two of them could not wait until the end of the year. At least, this was what Chen Xing thought.
Zhang Ningning left with his mother, Zeng Yun. Chen Xing could not resist the enthusiasm of his relatives, who were all uncles. It was not appropriate for Chen Xing to say that he would not drink. He picked up his mobile phone and had a look. Oh my god, there were more than ten missed calls. In addition to the calls from the county, there were several missed calls from numbers that he did not know.
The next morning, when Chen Xing woke up, he still had a headache. This was because he drank too much last night. Chen Xing forgot how he came back. It was probably his parents who helped him back. He picked up his mobile phone and had a look. Oh my god, there were more than ten missed calls. In addition to the calls from the county, there were several missed calls from numbers that he did not know.
