Chapter 1118: Together in Hangzhou

eng thought, this small building might be the meeting place. 。Xiao Zheng had just gotten out of the car when another vehicle arrived. Na Junying jumped out of the car and quickly caught up with Xiao...That day at noon, Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu had lunch at Chen Hong's house before leaving. 。Aunt Chen Hong's came over this afternoon to help tidy up. Sun Wenmin put the bottle of Moutai and two boxes of cosmetics into the storage room. Coming out, she said: "Xiao Zheng is still alright, he remembered us during this big festive season! Not to mention these gifts are worth five or six thousand yuan, just the thoughtfulness is very precious." 。Sun Wenmin's words were directed both at Chen Guangming and Chen Hong. 。Chen Guangming followed up, “In the past, we indeed looked down on Xiao Zheng and didn’t take him seriously. But now he can put aside past grievances, having become the head of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, and still proactively visit us. That's truly not easy!” Chen Guangming’s words were both a response to Sun Wenmin and something he said for Chen Hong to hear. 。

These parents, in fact, are still unaware of Chen Hong's true thoughts. 。That's because they are living better than us now. 。"Chen Hong spoke up, "They came to pay New Year's greetings in advance, not for our sake, but for the well-being of their own families. They hope I won't disturb them!"

"This..." Chen Hong's words made both Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin worry again. The two wanted to offer comfort, but in the midst of their confusion, they didn't know what to say. 。Chen Hong said again, "Dad, Mom, you don't have to worry, I won't disturb them. " 。Of course, this isn't to make things better for them, but to make our own lives better, to make our family better!" Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin looked at each other, already confused about what Chen Hong was saying, whether it was true or false!

Chen Hong said again: "Dad, Mom, we are the real family. Although Xiao Zheng talked to me, he is still an outsider 。Past relationships are over and done with, forcing them to stay won't help. I already figured this out when I was at my lowest point! So, after the spring arrives, I will also start going on blind dates! Mom and Dad, if you hear of anyone suitable, please tell me. I will take it seriously and give it a try. 。“That's great!” Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin both beamed with delight. Chen Hong added, “Dad, Mom, it’s been ages since we last visited our ancestral home in An County! Why don't we go back to celebrate the New Year there It would be more lively.”Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin looked at each other again. Sun Wenmin said, “Chen Hong, your uncle's family called early this morning, hoping we’d go back for the New Year's Eve dinner.” 。We know you're busy and might not have time, so let's just see how it goes. I didn't want to make any firm plans yet. 。In fact, Sun Wenmin was worried that Chen Hong wouldn't like such a lively environment. Although Chen Hong held an official position, she didn't have a family or children. 。My ex-boyfriend broke up with me again. When the time comes, someone will definitely bring it up at the dinner table. 。To avoid embarrassing her daughter, Sun Wenmin didn't bring up the matter. She would rather spend the New Year quietly with just the three of them in Jingzhou than go to a gathering that might be awkward. 。Chen Hong retorted, "We're already officially on vacation. What are we busy with Besides, my uncle and aunt in An County have lots of relatives - aunts and uncles, sisters-in-law, nieces, etc. They can help me introduce some potential partners!" Chen Hong's words were half serious and half joking, but they reassured Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin quite a bit. 。Chen Guangming said, "When shall we go back" Chen Hong said, "We can go now! I'll arrange a car." 。Chen Guangming said: "We don't need to arrange for a car." 。Now that you're a department head, at the正處級 level, and with opportunities to climb higher, try to avoid using official vehicles during your downtime. 。Our family's car, it looks really good when we drive it out. Today, I'll be the driver for you and Mom!" Chen Hong smiled at Chen Guangming and said, "Then thank you, Dad! Let's go, back to our hometown for the New Year! I'll just tidy up my clothes" 。"With that, Chen Hong supported herself with her crutches and entered her room." 。Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin looked at each other again, they were happy in their hearts, but Chen Hong's sudden change also left them with a trace of worry. 。Because they all know, they don't truly understand what Chen Hong is really thinking! What her daughter shows on the outside is not equal to what she thinks inside. 。But if you think about it deeper, it's not good either. Chen Guangming said: "Let's get ready! Let's go!" 。Chen Guangming also really wanted to go back. He missed his nephew and wanted to have a drink with him, get a little drunk. It's the New Year, so no matter what worries there are, they're all gone after "the sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year". Everything can wait until next year! In the afternoon, on the way back to Anxian from Jijing, the weather was overcast as usual for New Year's Eve. The car drove along the national highway from Jingzhou to Anxian. 。At this moment, Chen Hong's phone rang again. Upon seeing the caller ID, it was Sima Yue once more. 。At this time, Chen Hong didn't want to answer the call, so she put her phone on silent. 。However, Sima Yue relentlessly continued his attack. 。Chen Hong had to pick it up. 。Only Sima Yue's voice came: "Today, I heard that Xiao Jingyu and Xiao Zheng came to your house to pay New Year's greetings" Chen Hong said lightly: "Yes" 。Because she was in the same car with her parents, Chen Hong didn't want to say much and didn't want to worry them. 。< Sima Yue said: "Why didn't you tell me about this situation"> 。Chen Hong said: “This is not a big deal.” 。"They're just here to show off their happy lives!" Sima Yue said, "Is that all" Chen Hong insisted, "That's all." 。 Sima Yue said, "Alright, but next time, I hope that you will report to me any news about them." 。You have to know, some things, you can't see the problem, but I can see the point! Chen Hong was very impatient. She wasn't the kind of person who would be controlled by others! But, on the car, it was obviously not suitable to say more, so she said: "I know 。" Sima Yue said, "I know, but don't just stop at talking about it. " 。。This means that everything Chen Hong does is under Sima Yue's surveillance, which makes Chen Hong very unhappy. Her face darkens like the sky before a storm. 。She said "thank you" and hung up the phone. 。Beside the

, Chen Guangming asked: "Chen Hong, who called" Chen Hong was reluctant to say more, only saying: "It's nothing, just someone wishing us a Happy New Year!"

At the same time, Xiao Zheng, Xiao Jingyu and their family also set off from Jingzhou. 。Xiao Zheng, Xiao Jingyu, the child, and Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei went in one car, with Xiao Zheng driving. 。Xiao Yi, Ye Chuan Ying and her female attendant, as well as Mr. Wang, the steward, traveled in a carriage driven by a dedicated chauffeur. 。Besides, Old Wang arranged for someone to follow along, ensuring a safe journey. 。At this moment, at the West Lake State Guesthouse, there are two individuals residing. One of them is Xiao Guigui, the second son of the Xiao family from Beijing. 。Another one is Sima Zhongtian, the father of Sima Yue. 。All the necessary procedures had been completed in advance. Both Xiao Guigu and Sima Zhongtian drove their cars directly to the gate of the villa at the State Guesthouse. 。As both villas were adjacent and arrived at roughly the same time, they both saw each other's vehicles. 。Cars have already become a symbol of status, Xiao Guigui also knows this. The people living in the villas next door are also big shots, although he doesn't know them. 。However, Sima Zhongtian knew Xiao Guigui. He knew that he was the second son of the head of the Xiao family in Huajing, Xiao Guigui, and was currently the vice president of the family group, managing many projects. 。As Sima Zhongtian entered the villa, he nodded to Xiao Guigui. 。> 。Top predators in the food chain sometimes cooperate to take down prey lower on the chain. 。As Sima Zhongtian and Xiao Guigui strolled leisurely into their respective villas, in a quaint villa within the Provincial Committee Family Courtyard, Vice Secretary Lu Zaihang of the Provincial Committee, along with his wife Cai Jingbo, accompanied by the maid Xiaoyu, emerged from the villa. The driver had already opened the rear doors on both sides. Lu Zaihang let Cai Jingbo sit in the seat next to the door, and he himself walked around the car and got into the other seat. 。

Xiao Qu waved goodbye: "Secretary Lu, Mrs. Cai, have a happy New Year's Eve." 。I'll be waiting for you at home. 。Lu Shujie nodded. Cai Jingbo said: "You guys eat some good food yourselves, and drink whatever you want. You don't have to serve us in the evening." 。"Xiao Qu gratefully said: "It is " 。The car drove down the bare sycamore avenue, heading out of the courtyard. 。

A little after four in the afternoon, the doorbell rang at Xiao's Villa on the east side of Nanshan Road. 。The guards in the clan immediately reported to Xiao Xing shi, the head of the family, in the reception hall: "Chief, we have guests." 。"It's probably Mom and the others back!" Xiao Xingshi said, "Open the door!" 。The security guard said, “Yes”. 。Having said that, he pressed the remote control button in his hand and the gate slowly opened. 。Xiao Xingshi slowly got up from the sofa and walked towards the hall. 。His younger sister, Xiao Xingyun, and his younger brother, Xiao Xinghai, also stood up and followed their older brother out to greet them. 。A car was driving into the driveway right in front of the gate. Although it was also an Audi, Xiao Xing shi could tell that it wasn't his daughter Xiao Jingyu's car, but a more high-end official vehicle. 。The car was getting closer. Taking a closer look, Xiao Xingshi recognized it – wasn't this the official car of the No. 3 leader of the Provincial Committee

At this time, the car had stopped. The driver opened the door, and Provincial Committee Deputy Secretary Lu Zaixing and his wife Cai Jingbo stepped out of the car. 。Xiao Xingshi naturally knew Lu Zaihang. The two had a very good relationship before. 。Xiao Xinghai and Xiao Xingyun were even more astonished. They naturally knew who Lu Zai was and his relationship with Xiao Xingshi! But they just couldn't figure out why Lu Zai suddenly arrived on New Year's Eve today, what important matter could he haveiao Jingyu, Xiao Rongrong and the rest of the family were at home. Apart from waiting for Xiao Zheng's return and news from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the whole family kept thinking, who wa...
