Names: Uncle Zhao Mengsheng, Father-in-law Pei Yihong

Chen Yanshi sat up straight, and Wang Fuzhen quickly stuffed two pillows into his hands.

Chen Yanshi's face still showed a deliberately feigned weakness.

moan and groan.

He glanced sideways at Li Dakang in front of him and said, "Dakang, you can go now."

"When I see you now, my heart feels heavy and pounding; I might faint again in a minute."

The order to leave was blunt and impolite.

I've wanted Li Dakang out of here for a long time.

So hateful.

Li Dakang smiled, too lazy to continue acting, and didn't want to stay a second longer. "Alright, Old Chen, you can retire now and take a good rest. I'm going home to sleep."

My son is unreliable; my daughter is much better.

Should I call Chen Yang?

Chen Yanshi's face darkened, and he rolled his eyes.

It's really like bringing up the very thing you shouldn't have said.

Ouyang Jing thought Chen Yanshi was a hypocrite, so she grabbed Li Dakang and turned to leave.

There was not a trace of lingering attachment.

Stepping out of the courtyard, a gust of evening wind blew, and Ouyang Jing couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Dakang, Old Chen is such a hypocrite, is there any need for him to pretend?"

And how did you figure out he was faking it?

Li Dakang, hands in his pockets, said, "Ouyang, I'm just playing along with the old comrade."

This old stone, who has relied on his age and seniority his whole life, has finally suffered a setback today.

He feigned fainting to gain sympathy; he was a master of these tricks.

I, Li Dakang, am very happy.

It would be better if he were driven mad.

If it weren't for his interference, Dafeng Factory would have been demolished long ago.

As soon as Li Dakang left, Chen Yanshi, head drooping, grabbed Gao Yuliang's wrist with considerable force, as if afraid the other would let go and leave.

The aged voice carried a deliberately feigned sense of grievance.

"Yuliang."

My life, Chen Yanshi, has been so miserable.

Chen Shan is such an unlucky guy.

My luck wasn't good either.

My heart feels heavy.

Gao Yuliang comforted him, saying, "Old Chen, not having a chance this time doesn't mean you won't have one in the future. Chen Shan is still young."

There aren't many officials this young in Handong.

The implication is that one should be content.

Chen Yanshi was only a department-level official when he retired.

Gao Yuliang was not yet a full-fledged department head at that age.

Chen Yanshi was full of resentment. "Yuliang, Chen Shan and Chen Hai, you two bastards."

I can't get through on the phone now.

I, Chen Yanshi, have two sons and one daughter in my life.

Both sons are in Jingzhou, and the daughter is in Beijing.

Everyone says that raising children can provide for you in old age, and that you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket. But look at our family, none of our three baskets are reliable.

If things really get really bad, there won't even be anyone around to serve you tea or water.

His tone was melancholy, and he played the victim perfectly.

Gao Yuliang gently patted the back of his hand, "Old leader, don't overthink it."

Chen Shan was most likely devastated and turned off his phone to clear his head.

As for Chen Hai, he might have just gone to work overtime temporarily.

Overtime work is the norm for prosecutors.

Old Ji is a master at exploiting his subordinates.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yanshi scoffed, "Overtime? What kind of overtime?"

Tonight, Chen Hai and I went to a concert, but that kid ran away halfway there.

Changing the subject, "Yuliang, also, I don't think Chen Hai and that girl Lu Yike are suitable."

Chen Hai is widowed and has a child, while Lu Yike is a young, unmarried woman. I'm worried that Chen Hai might hold your Yike back.

Upon hearing this, Wu Huifen was so angry that her teeth itched. "Old Chen, since you say so, I'll go to my sister Wu Xinyi's house later."

I've made myself clear, so you can let go of any lingering thoughts.

"Our family is far too wealthy to be associated with them."

Bullying people is truly disgusting.

Wu Huifen was truly disgusted.

Pooh!

If it weren't for Chen Hai, they could have gotten married much earlier.

As expected, the Chen family is no good; they really are hypocritical, getting the benefits while pretending to be innocent.

Chen Yanshi's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, "Teacher Wu, good, that's great."

The goal has been achieved.

In an instant, his expression darkened again. "Yuliang, there's one more thing."

Chen Hai should be promoted to deputy chief prosecutor this time, but I'm afraid some people will follow suit and oppose it.

If even he gets rejected, I might as well just quit living.

They're playing the victim and putting pressure on each other.

They've mastered the art of moral blackmail.

Gao Yuliang shook his head helplessly and let out a long sigh.

"Old leader, I want to make it clear that I will not veto the resolution, so please rest assured."

Chen Yanshi was still worried and held his hand tightly. "Yuliang, to be honest, I'm most afraid that Qi Tongwei will lead the attack against us."

After all, I opposed Chen Yang and Qi Tongwei being together back then.

I think Qi Tongwei holds a grudge against me.

Yu Liang, you are Qi Tongwei's teacher, please help me persuade him.

Chen Hai's journey to this point has been truly remarkable.

Gao Yuliang was very unhappy, but he didn't show it on his face. "I understand."

With just four simple words, he accepted.

Gao Yuliang also thought about it and decided to help this once and then have nothing more to do with the Chen family.

Chen Yanshi, that old leader, is just so-so; I've seen through him today.

They really went to any lengths for the benefit of the Chen family.

Fortunately, Li Dakang saw through Chen Yanshi's pretense of illness.

A few minutes later, Gao Yuliang and Wu Huifen got up to say goodbye.

Only Chen Yanshi and Wang Fuzhen remained in the room.

As soon as the door closed, Chen Yanshi instantly shed all his feigned weakness and stood up from the bed.

Wang Fuzhen looked puzzled. "Old Chen, why did you have to break up Chen Hai and Yi Ke just now?"

I think that girl is sensible and well-behaved, and devoted to Chen Hai.

She's still a virgin.

Chen Yanshi snorted coldly, "Old woman, you're confused."

It's the rule that married couples within the system cannot work in the same unit.

With Gao Yuliang around, Lu Yike definitely won't leave.

Chen Hai can't leave either.

Therefore, it's impossible for them.

Besides, Lu Yike is almost forty.

She's supposed to be a virgin, but who knows if there's some hidden reason why she hasn't married or had a partner all these years.

What if I'm like Liang Lu, unable to have children, or have an illness?

"Old Chen, now that you mention it, it's actually quite possible. I've never thought of that before," Wang Fuzhen chimed in. "That makes sense. Otherwise, Lu Yike would probably be a mother by now."

Chen Yanshi sighed, "Our Chen family now only has Little Ball as its sole heir."

I was hoping that Chen Hai would remarry and give our Chen family another son or daughter to continue the family line.

"I must find a young, healthy woman who can have children."

Extremely pragmatic.

Wang Fuzhen suddenly realized, "As expected of you, Old Chen."

You're so thoughtful; I didn't even consider that much."

Chen Yanshi leaned against the headboard. "Do you think Qi Tongwei will listen to Gao Yuliang's advice?"

"I don't know. Old Chen, I'm not a tapeworm in Qi Tongwei's stomach," Wang Fuzhen muttered.

"Whether you listen or not is irrelevant. Today I'm just deliberately using moral blackmail against Gao Yuliang. At today's Standing Committee meeting, Gao Yuliang abstained and didn't kick us when we're down, which shows he's loyal and righteous." Chen Yanshi took out a cigarette. "On the other hand, look at Xiao Jinzi. He's the one who personally sentenced our son Chen Shan to death. Xiao Jinzi, you bastard, you ingrate."

How hateful, so utterly hateful.

Showing no mercy, they made Chen Shan lose face completely.

An adopted son is still an adopted son; you can never rely on outsiders.

the other side.

Gao Yuliang's car drove smoothly through the night.

The license plate ending in 003 was particularly eye-catching on the streets of Jingzhou at night.

In the car.

Wu Huifen leaned against the car window, her face full of displeasure.

She immediately took out her phone and contacted her sister, Wu Xinyi.

The call connected, and Wu Huifen got straight to the point, "Sister, where is Yiru?"
