Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 123 I just wanted to give them a home (Part 2)

Chen Yan's home is very close to the high-speed rail station, and he arrived home about half an hour later.

However, standing at his doorstep, Chen Yan suddenly hesitated.

Originally, because Ruan Yusang was there, Ms. He had no choice but to grit her teeth and swallow her anger, no matter how angry she was.

But now, I'm all alone!

How can this be good?

Chen Yan quietly unlocked the door and entered, finding Chen Guodong watching the news on the sofa and He Juan washing dishes in the kitchen.

He intended to sneak upstairs without leaving a trace.

Unexpectedly, Old Chen suddenly greeted him: "Son, you're back so soon?"

Chen Yan felt a sudden jolt: "Heh heh~ yeah."

At this moment, He Juan heard the noise, took off her apron, and came out of the kitchen.

He Juan glanced at her son and suddenly smiled: "Go sit on the sofa, I have something to tell you."

"Let's talk about it later. I need to do my winter break homework now."

"Chen Yan, do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I don't know that there's no homework during winter break in college?!"

"Uh, okay, what do you want to say?"

Chen Yan obediently sat down on the sofa.

"Wait a moment, I'm going to the kitchen to get something."

"Ok?"

Chen Yan sensed something was wrong and turned to look at Old Chen.

"fine."

Old Chen stubbed out his cigarette and said, "When your mom hits you later, try to be patient and don't disturb the neighbors."

Chen Yan suddenly looked up and saw He Juan walking towards him with a rolling pin in her hand.

"Mom, don't play with knives and guns during the New Year."

Chen Yan quickly ran behind the sofa.

He Juan wouldn't listen and kept chasing after her, trying to hit her again.

Chen Yan decided to stop dodging and instead threw himself onto the sofa, covering his head: "Go ahead and hit me if you want! At worst, I'll still be a hero in eighteen years!"

The rolling pin hit my butt with a "thump, thump, thump." It's impossible to say it didn't hurt, but it wasn't that painful either.

After all, he was her own son, so Empress Dowager He clearly held back.

Although it didn't hurt much, Chen Yan still screamed and howled like a banshee.

"what!"

"Just kill me already!"

"Anyway, 18 years from now, I'll still be a hero!"

"Old Chen, aren't you going to do anything about your wife?! Aren't you worried about the Chen family line ending?!"

After a while, perhaps Empress He was tired of hitting them, or perhaps she was still thinking about the two girls, she finally threw down the rolling pin and asked, panting:

"I'm asking you, what are you going to do with these two girls?"

"What do you mean, what to do? Just deal with it." Chen Yan pretended to be clueless.

He Juan immediately picked up the rolling pin from the ground.

"Hey, let's talk this out. A gentleman uses words, not fists."

"Then tell me, what are you really thinking about these two girls?"

"I really don't understand you, Chen Yan."

"Either of these two girls is more than a match for you, but instead of cherishing them, you've done this kind of messy thing!"

Chen Guodong, who was standing to the side, also stepped forward to speak up:
“Son, what you did was really wrong. I think both of these girls are good girls. You should quickly decide on one and break up with the other. It may be a bit cruel, but... it's better to have a short pain than a long one.”

Chen Yan shrugged: "Why does it have to be one of them?"

Chen Guodong: "..."

Hearing this, He Juan was about to explode again, but Chen Guodong quickly calmed her down: "Don't be angry. Maybe he has a way to have the best of both worlds."

Her husband's calm demeanor reassured He Juan considerably. She sat on the sofa for a while, took a few deep breaths, and asked:

"What are you really thinking? Who are you planning to marry in the future?"

"Um... can I have both?"

"What? Say it again?"

Empress Dowager He's voice suddenly rose eight hundred degrees. "I said I want them all."

"I just wanted to give them a home, what did I do wrong?"

Chen Yan repeated himself, and after he finished speaking, he immediately got up and ran out the door.

Unlock, drive, start, shift gears—a series of operations performed smoothly and seamlessly.

By the time He Juan chased after him, Chen Yan had already backed out of the courtyard gate, and he poked his head out:

"Mom, don't be angry. There's always a way out. I'm staying at Yang Jinquan's house for the next couple of days. He invited me to play cards."

After saying that, the Volkswagen sped away.

"Ah~"

He Juan sighed and confided in her husband, "Old Chen, what will we do when those two girls find out the truth?"

As Chen Guodong watched the Volkswagen taillights disappear into the distance, he put his arm around his wife's shoulder and said encouragingly:

"As parents, we shouldn't interfere in matters of the heart. Like our son said, there's always a way out. He's still young, and marriage is a long way off. Let's just wait and see."

……

Meanwhile, at Yang Jinquan's home.

He was a little doubtful when Chen Yan said he wanted to stay at his house for two days.

No, the straight-line distance between my house and yours is less than one kilometer. Why would you want to stay here?
Could it be that you're gay?

Holy crap, no way, I haven't noticed this all these years.

Yang Jinquan instinctively covered his anus.

Seeing the lewd expression on this guy's face, Chen Yan knew he wasn't up to anything, so he explained the reason.

"what?"

"You're saying you were dating two girlfriends at the same time?"

"And they're all this good?!"

"Holy crap, Brother Yan, please accept my bow!"

As he spoke, Yang Jinquan gave Chen Yan a deep 90-degree bow.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's not worth mentioning."

Chen Yan waved his hand modestly.

Yang Jinquan looked at Chen Yan as if he were looking at an idol superstar: "Yanzi, how far have you progressed with her, or rather, with them?"

Chen Yan smiled slightly: "They know my strengths and weaknesses, and I know theirs and weaknesses."

Jealousy makes people ugly.

That's a good point.

Yang Jinquan's back teeth were almost ground to powder, and his face was contorted with rage.

……

Two days later.

The seventh day of the first lunar month.

Chen Yan drove away from Yang Jinquan's house and headed directly towards Hangzhou.

Because tomorrow is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Daily Tech will officially resume work, and as the boss, he will definitely be there.

The seventh day of the Lunar New Year is the peak of the Spring Festival travel rush. Cars on the highways are like a surging torrent of steel, one after another.

The front of the car represents my dreams, and the back represents my hometown.

On this day, millions of travelers set off together for distant places.

Looking at the magnificent torrent before him, Chen Yan couldn't help but recall a famous internet meme from later generations: "People of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, your breakfast, lunch, and dinner are back."

May you, after all your trials and tribulations, return still as youthful as ever. Best wishes for a safe journey!

After saying that, he lightly pressed the accelerator and merged into the rolling traffic.

Inside the Volkswagen, the melody of "The Nameless Man" drifted back and forth.

When winter comes to my hometown

After the train arrives at the station
The wind of my childhood, blowing again.

Recalling simple happiness
On familiar streets
Someone will call your name with all their tenderness.

To those who have left home, I raise a glass to you.
Respect to your silence, and to every roar.
I admire your hunched back as you climb the mountain to higher ground.

Under the vast sky, strive to live.
