Chapter 2267: Apologizing in Person

~8 min read 1,514 words

At this very moment, the old Chen residence.

This is an old house located in Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong. The actual usable area is only a little over thirty square meters.

In a place like Hong Kong where every inch of land is worth an inch of gold, owning a house of over thirty square meters has already surpassed many people.

In the Kowloon Walled City back then, countless families of five or even eight people were squeezed into a coffin room of less than ten square meters. Compared to that, this house of the Chen family in Sham Shui Po could already be considered to have gotten rid of the title of slum.

Chen Zhaozhong grew up here when he was young. Later, his father made a fortune selling roast goose, and the family moved to the prosperous city center of Hong Kong.

Later, Chen Zhaozhong became a well-known professional manager in Hong Kong, helping Liu Jiahui make a lot of money, and he also had a good income. The Chen family's house also changed from a building in the city center to a valuable townhouse, which is what the mainland calls a townhouse villa.

When Chen Zhaozhong left Hong Kong, the family conditions were considered well-off, but because he offended Liu Jiahui, his whole family was implicated. Not only was it difficult for his younger brothers and sisters to find jobs, but even their love and marriage were greatly affected, and the family's roast goose shop business plummeted.

For so many years, in order to support his younger brothers and sisters' studies, as well as to pay for his parents' medical treatment and maintain the family, the Chen family's townhouse had long been sold. Fortunately, Chen Zhaozhong's old father was very nostalgic, so even after he became rich, he did not sell this old house in Sham Shui Po, so the family finally had a place to stay.

Chen Zhaozhong's two younger sisters, without exception, married people who came to Hong Kong to work. The reason was also because everyone in Hong Kong knew that their brother had offended Liu Jiahui, so no one dared to marry them.

And Chen Zhaozhong's younger brother, Chen Zhaozu, was considered lucky. His girlfriend of many years had been with him through thick and thin, and the two overcame all difficulties to finally get married.

At present, this old house is occupied by Chen Zhaozu's family of three and the old lady. Although it is very crowded, Chen Zhaozu still partitioned an independent room for the old mother and installed a window air conditioner for her, giving the old mother a place to settle down.

However, Chen Zhaozhong's sudden return immediately made the narrow house stretched.

After the family returned here from paying respects to Chen's father, the old lady said to Chen Zhaozhong with some shame: "A-Zhong, the house is too crowded. Tonight, you should first stay at the hotel next door. The one who runs the hotel is your childhood playmate, Uncle Liang's son, A-Cheng. He has also often come to the house to help over the years and often asked about your news. You go there to stay for one night first. Tomorrow, Mom will let A-Zu buy a bunk bed and replace the bed in Mom's room. By then, you can stay in the same room with Mom!"

Chen Zhaozhong hurriedly said: "Mom, you don't have to worry. I will accompany you well during the day these few days, and stay at the hotel at night. After these few days, I will go to work."

The old lady said with heartache: "You finally came home after so many years, don't rush to work immediately, rest well first!"

Chen Zhaozhong explained: "Mom, Young Master Ye has helped me so much. While I still have a little bit of meager strength, as long as he doesn't dislike me, I plan to work for him in the future. His business is mostly in the mainland. If he needs me, I might go to the mainland to work."

As he spoke, Chen Zhaozhong took out 30,000 US dollars in cash from his luggage and handed it to his younger brother Chen Zhaozu, saying: "A-Zu, I haven't saved much money over the years. When I left, I handed the shop to Qiangzai, and I brought back these 30,000 US dollars in savings. You take this money to subsidize the household."

Chen Zhaozu hurriedly refused: "Big Brother, this is all your hard-earned money, how can I accept it? Besides, my income is quite stable now, Mom has recovered, and there will be no high medical expenses in the future. You should keep this money for yourself!"

Chen Zhaozhong smiled and said: "With this little money, at most you can buy a car in Hong Kong. Big Brother has no ability, so this is all I can do. You can rest assured and accept it. I am alone and have no worries, keeping money is useless. In the future, if Young Master Ye thinks highly of me, I will be satisfied if he provides me with food and housing. If Young Master Ye doesn't need me, I will just set up a stall in Sham Shui Po to sell roast goose. By then, I will ask you for some capital, and you can just treat it as keeping it for Big Brother."

The old lady also said at this time: "A-Zu, since your big brother has said so, you should accept the money. Before your big brother came back, I was the one in charge of this family. Now that your big brother is back, the family will listen to your big brother."

Chen Zhaozu had admired his big brother since he was a child and knew that his big brother was a person with great ability and great wisdom. Hearing this, he nodded and said firmly: "Okay Mom, I will listen to Big Brother from now on!"

The old lady nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Now that your big brother is back, our family can finally be reunited. And his conflict with Liu Jiahui has been cleared up. In the future, no one in Hong Kong should make things difficult for our family again. You two brothers work together, and you will definitely be able to turn our family around!"

Chen Zhaozhong knew that his family must have been bullied and squeezed out in Hong Kong all these years, and his heart was even more guilty.

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a familiar voice outside: "Is the old lady at home?"

The old lady said in surprise: "Oh my, it's Ms. Fang!"

As she spoke, she hurriedly went to open the door.

Fang Jiaxin did not expect that the old lady would take the initiative to open the door. She said in surprise: "Old lady, are you okay? I just went to the hospital, and the people at the hospital said you were missing, and you didn't even go through the discharge procedures, so I hurriedly found you here..."

The old lady smiled slightly: "Ms. Fang, thank you for your concern, I am fine. A-Zhong brought back a pill, and I felt fine after eating it."

Liu Jiahui, who was beside Fang Jiaxin, was shocked and thought to himself: "The people who were secretly investigating the Chen family told me two days ago that this old woman wouldn't live for a few days, how is she suddenly fine like nothing happened? The pill she mentioned, could it be the one Ye Chen gave?"

The old lady also noticed Liu Jiahui beside Fang Jiaxin, so she became nervous and blurted out: "You... what are you doing here... haven't you already cleared up the misunderstanding with my A-Zhong..."

Liu Jiahui apologized with a smile: "Old lady, I came here specifically to apologize to you and A-Zhong. It was my fault before. Now I have deeply realized my mistakes and the harm I have brought to A-Zhong and all of you, so I sincerely hope that you and A-Zhong can give me a chance to turn over a new leaf..."

Chen Zhaozhong was caught off guard and hurriedly said: "Mr. Liu, wasn't the matter before already settled earlier today? Both you and I have things we did wrong. Let's just turn the page on this matter and don't worry about who is right and who is wrong."

Liu Jiahui thought to himself: "Damn it, do you think I want to worry about these things with you? I came here because Ye Chen forced me to. Otherwise, I really don't want to see you for even a second!"

Although he was ten thousand times unwilling, Liu Jiahui still said very humbly: "A-Zhong, I know you are magnanimous and don't want to argue with me, but it was my fault first, causing you to drift in the United States for twenty years. I really feel bad about it, so please give me a chance to make up for it!" ===== CHAPTER 2268 =====
