Since Chen Hansheng had a car, he would ask Xiaoyuer and Wang Zibo if they wanted to go home every time he went back to Gangcheng. Other classmates studying in Jianye would occasionally send messages: "Chen Hansheng, are you going back to your hometown recently? If you are, please give me a ride. I have something to do at home."
Generally speaking, Chen Hansheng would just give them a ride. After all, the bus from Jianye to Gangcheng costs more than 60 yuan. It would be great to save this money, and there would be someone to chat with him along the way.
However, at this time, there are no holidays except Children's Day in early June.
The next morning, Chen Hansheng left school at 6 o'clock. In addition to worrying about his mother's health, he also wanted to know what was going on.
After watching the farce of Ye Qi and Zhang Eryu yesterday afternoon, Chen Hansheng didn't have time to savor it. Liang Meijuan called and claimed that someone saw Lao Chen and a woman sitting opposite each other in a coffee shop and having a good conversation.
According to the description of the appearance of Empress Dowager Liang, the woman is a bit similar to Mo Ke, but it stands to reason that "Second Mother Mo" with her personality and conditions should not be willing to return to Lao Chen, at most the two of them will just sit for a while.
Although Liang Meijuan is noisy at home, it is because she has a husband who tolerates her and a son who "does not fight back when beaten, but talks back when scolded". In fact, Liang Meijuan is just an ordinary middle-aged woman in a small city.
After she felt that her husband was "cheating", she first quarreled without listening to explanations, and then thought of the support for the rest of her life - this son who is not very obedient but very filial.
"Which idiot is so gossipy? This is purely to scare Empress Dowager Liang."
Chen Hansheng complained sullenly, stepped on the accelerator, and the small Xiali was still crawling slowly on the highway like a tractor.
······
At noon, he returned to the port city. Chen Hansheng did not go home immediately, but came to Lao Chen's unit first.
He is experienced and must first understand the whole story clearly so that he can have a coping strategy.
When Chen Zhaojun saw his son coming back, he was both happy and worried.
What made him happy was that his son had really grown up and could come back to solve problems at home;
What made him worried was that his wife had a bad temper and his son might not be successful when he came back.
"Let's go eat first."
Chen Zhaojun hugged his son, who was taller than him, to the cafeteria. He felt a little proud, but he didn't show it. He just asked Chen Hansheng to call him "uncle and aunt" when he saw colleagues of similar age.
Old Chen's colleagues also looked at Chen Hansheng in a friendly manner and responded with a smile.
"We are so old before we know it. Director Chen's son is already this big."
"Yes, he came here to do his homework when he was very young, and he still had a red scarf tied around his neck."
"Hansheng still looks more like Lao Chen. His eyebrows and mouth seem to be carved from the same mold. His nose is a bit like Liang Meijuan."
······
Hong Kong is a very small city. Various bureaus and offices in government units often meet each other, so everyone knows that Chen Zhaojun and Liang Meijuan are husband and wife.
Chen Hansheng recalled that the last time he came to Lao Chen's unit was when he was in the fifth grade of elementary school.
At that time, there was no air conditioning at home, so he would run here for the coolness. However, after something called "Internet cafe" appeared, Chen Hansheng would rather watch people play Red Alert.
While eating in the cafeteria, the chef who was stirring the wok came out in waders and white work clothes to talk to Chen Hansheng. The government attaches great importance to seniority. Even if the chef is not on the payroll, he has been cooking in the kitchen for more than 20 years. The director has changed many times, but the old man is still standing tall.
However, don't imagine him as the sweeping monk in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". That is an unrealistic martial arts hero. In reality, this old man is very talkative and has a loud voice. When he gets angry, he doesn't need to give in to anyone except the top director.
Chen Hansheng greeted him politely and took out a cigarette to offer him. Only then did the chef leave with his head held high.
"It's strange."
Chen Hansheng chatted with Lao Chen while eating: "When I go out with you, people say I look more like you; when I go out with my mother, they say I look more like Empress Liang."
Chen Zhaojun smiled gently: "You are the son of your mother and me, isn't it normal to look like you?"
"Hehe."
Chen Hansheng blinked mischievously: "I think I look a bit like Aunt Mo, especially the eyes."
Chen Zhaojun: ······
After lunch, Chen Hansheng followed Lao Chen to the office to chat. He was also wondering: "Dad, why don't your colleagues praise me for my success? They always praise me for being handsome. This truth that even a blind person can discover, do they need to keep emphasizing it?"
Chen Zhaojun patted his son on the back of his head: "What have you achieved?"
"Isn't it enough that I'm on TV?" Chen Hansheng said.
"Oh~"
Old Chen seemed to have just remembered something: "I didn't tell your mother about this, and I didn't tell your mother about it. I just have a little money, and it's not worth showing off to my colleagues."
Chen Hansheng was stunned: "This is my only chance to become a 'good child' in the eyes of other parents. Why do you deprive me of it?"
······
In the office, the father and son sat opposite each other, and Old Chen also talked to Chen Hansheng about what happened yesterday.
It turned out that Mo Ke had some special reasons to go back to Hong Kong City to deal with it. Before leaving, he suddenly wanted to meet Chen Zhaojun. In the past, Mo Ke had never had such an idea, but he had been in contact with Chen Hansheng more recently, so he remembered this good friend from high school and pen pal from college.
Chen Zhaojun's contact information is easy to get, after all, he has been in Hong Kong City.
At that time, Old Chen also hesitated for a while, whether to keep the appointment or not, and later felt that he was "selfless and broad-minded", just going to meet an old friend.
However, he also sent a message to Liang Meijuan, claiming that he had social engagements.
Old Chen often had dinner parties, and Liang Meijuan didn't take it seriously at first. But by chance, an acquaintance saw it and exaggerated it to Liang Meijuan.
After Chen Zhaojun returned, he confessed immediately when faced with Liang Meijuan's questioning.
Oh, now Chen Hansheng has to go home from Jianye, hundreds of kilometers away, to "put out the fire".
"Hey, you..."
Chen Hansheng was speechless: "How can a clever son like me have such an honest father like you?"
Chen Zhaojun glared at Chen Hansheng: "You said it the other way around!"
"At this time, why bother about the details?"
Chen Hansheng held up three fingers: "Dad, there are three omissions in this matter. The first is that the meeting place is not chosen well. How can you go to a coffee shop? You should go to some more remote places; the second is that when my mother asked, you must pretend to be very aggrieved and argue with reason. Confess and serve a life sentence, resist and go home for the New Year. Do I need to say this?; Third, you should not let my mother know about Mo Ke's existence. You are creating a Shura field for yourself..."
Old Chen looked at his son with a beaming face and couldn't help interrupting: "Are you coming back to help solve the difficulties, or are you talking nonsense? If you say it again, I will beat you up!"
"Sorry, people in the industry are really heartbroken about this operation."
Chen Hansheng patted his forehead and thought for a while: "In fact, it's easy to solve the problem. You can just call Aunt Mo in front of my mother and ask her to help prove it."
"Is it that simple?"
Chen Zhaojun asked in disbelief.
However, Chen Hansheng was more surprised than Lao Chen: "Are you really going to do this?"
"If it works, why not?"
Chen Zhaojun was very surprised.
"Although this trick is simple and practical, generally speaking, most men will not use it."
Chen Hansheng said with a chuckle: "Because in this way, there will be no way to get involved with others in the future. For example, this time, Aunt Mo will feel that my mother is more important to you than her."
"Your mother is more important than her, and Mo Ke will understand it."
Lao Chen said with a smile, his face was frank.
Chen Hansheng lowered his head in shame, and his face seemed to be dyed red by the red scarf.
