Chapter 3060: Burning bridges
At this very moment, in Ye Chen's villa in Tang Chen Yi Pin, the family of four had their first truly harmonious and happy family banquet.
Ye Chen and Xiao Churan never quarreled or got angry, but Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan often mocked each other and spoke coldly at the dinner table, making the atmosphere at the dinner table always tense and awkward.
But this time, the two didn't quarrel for even half a sentence from beginning to end. More importantly, they no longer looked at each other with displeasure, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Ma Lan also changed her domineering and unreasonable style of doing things in the past, and even frequently put food for Xiao Changkun at the dinner table, letting him taste this and that, completely in the posture of a virtuous wife and mother.
As for Xiao Changkun, he used to look down on Ma Lan in various ways, and often sighed in his heart that he had a great reputation, but it was a pity that a hero didn't have a good wife.
But now, he has completely accepted his fate.
With his look, it's normal for Han Meiqing not to look at him, and it's already quite good that Ma Lan can follow him wholeheartedly.
Therefore, the look in his eyes when he looked at Ma Lan no longer had the disgust and disdain that he couldn't hide in previous years, but instead had a bit more softness and emotion.
After eating, Ma Lan, who knew Xiao Changkun's habits well, didn't wait for Xiao Changkun to get up, and said: "Churan, help Mom clean up the kitchen in a while. Mom will brew a pot of tea for your dad first. Your dad loves to drink tea after eating."
Xiao Churan was stunned, and then hurriedly said: "Okay... okay Mom, you don't need to worry about the dining table, I'll clean it up."
Xiao Changkun, who was sitting on the chair digesting food, was also stunned. Ma Lan brewing tea personally, what kind of treatment is this that he deserves to enjoy?
So, he hurriedly got up and said: "Wife, don't bother. I'll brew it myself in a while."
Ma Lan said without hesitation: "You just sit for a while after eating before getting up. I'll brew the tea and bring it to the coffee table in the living room before coming to call you."
After speaking, Ma Lan walked out of the kitchen.
Xiao Changkun looked at her back, and tears were almost coming out of his eyes with emotion.
He looked at Ye Chen in disbelief, and then looked at Ma Lan walking out of the kitchen with his eyes. His expression was probably asking Ye Chen if he was dreaming.
Ye Chen was also amazed. It seems that his mother-in-law is really going to change her nature.
While sighing, he also hurriedly got up to help his wife clean up the dining table.
Xiao Churan hurriedly said: "Husband, Mom doesn't let Dad do the work, so you don't reach out either. Sit down and rest for a while, I'll clean it up."
Ye Chen laughed: "You tossed all the way and just came back, how can I sit and watch you work."
Xiao Changkun, who was on the side, came back to his senses and couldn't help but sigh: "People say that family harmony brings prosperity. I didn't understand or feel it before, but now I really understand! The feeling of no quarreling, no bickering, no internal friction, and harmony in the family is really damn good. It's standard refreshing! With this kind of family atmosphere, even if someone slaps you in the face outside, you have to laugh from ear to ear when you return home!"
Xiao Churan saw that Ma Lan was out, so she lowered her voice and said seriously: "Dad! Today, thanks to Ye Chen helping you round the field, otherwise if Mom knew that when she was in the detention center, you specifically ran to the airport to pick up Auntie Han and brought Auntie Han home for dinner, you would probably be asking the traffic police to take you in today!"
Xiao Changkun trembled all over with fright, subconsciously looked outside the restaurant, and seeing that Ma Lan didn't come in, he lowered his voice and said nervously to Xiao Churan: "Churan, for the sake of our family's harmony, you must keep those things in your stomach. The whole thing is the version Ye Chen said. Remember?"
Xiao Churan curled her lips and muttered: "For the sake of family harmony, I definitely won't tell Mom, but you must have a count in your heart. Don't do such things in the future!"
Xiao Changkun nodded repeatedly, guaranteeing: "Don't worry, Dad absolutely won't in the future."
Just finished speaking, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
He looked down and saw that the person calling was Zhang Ermao. He was suddenly surprised and muttered: "It's really strange. For such a long time, this Zhang Ermao has been hiding from me. Why did he take the initiative to contact me today?"
Ye Chen was also a bit surprised. According to reason, Zhang Ermao left the antique street and helped Hong Wu manage the business on the road, so he shouldn't have any intersection with his father-in-law. Why did he call him at this time?
Although Xiao Changkun was puzzled, he still picked up the phone and pressed answer.
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Ermao said respectfully: "President Xiao, it's me, Ermao. Do you remember me?"
"Nonsense..." Xiao Changkun muttered and scolded: "We have dealt with each other so many times, how can I not remember you? I collected a lot of good things before, and I called your kid a million times and couldn't get through. Why do you know how to contact me now?"
Zhang Ermao smiled and hurriedly said: "To tell you the truth, President Xiao, I have already washed my hands of antiques and am now doing things for Master Hong Wu of our Jin Ling. You must know Master Hong Wu, doesn't he have a good relationship with you?"
Xiao Changkun hummed: "That's for sure. What kind of friendship do I have with Master Hong Wu? I just had a meal in his diamond box at Tianxiang Mansion two days ago."
After that, Xiao Changkun added: "Alright Zhang Ermao, stop the hypocritical politeness. If you have anything, just say it directly."
Zhang Ermao said very diligently: "President Xiao, I don't know if you still remember Zhou Liangyun from Jiqing Hall before?"
Hearing the name Zhou Liangyun, Ye Chen's heart moved, while Xiao Changkun felt his face burning, as if he had been slapped again.
He scolded and muttered: "Zhou Liangyun? How could I not remember him! I caused some trouble in Jiqing Hall, and as a result, I left, but he had people catch me back and slapped me with a big mouth. I will never forget this hatred in my life! If he hadn't been kicked out of Jin Ling by the Song family, I would have avenged the hatred of that day long ago!"
Hearing his father-in-law's words, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.
Although after peeling the cocoon step by step, Ye Chen knew that when his father-in-law looked at the vase in Jiqing Hall, the vase fell to the ground by himself, but his father-in-law's approach at that time was indeed very ungentlemanly.
He thought he had accidentally broken a vase worth millions, and his first thought was not to find a way to remedy it, but to throw Ye Chen there as a cushion and escape immediately. What is there to hold a grudge about for a slap for this?
But Xiao Changkun didn't think so.
After all, he was old, and being caught back from the street by a group of people was very shameful. Those clerks didn't be polite when they caught him back, and fists and kicks didn't save him much. Being beaten at such an old age, how can this breath be swallowed.
And in the news he got, Zhou Liangyun disappeared from Jin Ling after that incident. Even if he wanted to take revenge, he had no chance.
Zhang Ermao on the other end of the phone heard Xiao Changkun mention Zhou Liangyun and was still very angry, so he felt relieved, knowing that he had hit the pulse, so he said flatteringly: "If President Xiao wants to take revenge, it's not that there is no chance!"
"There is a fart chance." Xiao Changkun didn't hear the words in Zhang Ermao's words, but just said with full anger: "This grandson has run away without a trace long ago. I guess he definitely isn't in Jin Ling. Where can I find him to take revenge?"
Zhang Ermao hurriedly offered like a treasure: "President Xiao, I called you to tell you a good news. Zhou Liangyun has returned to Jin Ling, and he plans to open a shop on the antique street!"
"What did you say?" Xiao Changkun stood up when he heard this, and asked with some excitement: "The bastard surnamed Zhou wants to return to Jin Ling antique street to open a shop? Is he mixed up outside, or is he mixed up?"
In Xiao Changkun's mind, there are two possibilities for Zhou Liangyun to return to Jin Ling. One is that he is very awesome outside, with money and power returning to Jin Ling to open a shop, in order to find back the face of being fired by Jiqing Hall; but the other is the exact opposite, that he can't mix outside, and has to return to Jin Ling to beg for food as a last resort!
If it's the former, then I guess I have no hope of revenge;
But if it's the latter, then I have a chance to take revenge.
Zhang Ermao replied: "President Xiao, to tell you the truth, I haven't seen Zhou Liangyun himself, but from the news I received, he shouldn't be doing very well outside. He just wants to do some small business on the antique street this time, and doesn't look like he's mixed up outside."
Xiao Changkun laughed loudly: "Haha! I see this bastard is mixed up outside, at the end of his rope, so he returned to Jin Ling to find a meal! Heaven has eyes!"
Zhang Ermao smiled and said: "President Xiao, if you want to find an opportunity to avenge the slap in the face he gave you, I can help you!"
Xiao Changkun blurted out: "That's great! Aren't you working for Master Hong Wu? Bring more little brothers tomorrow, find him, and beat him up!"
Zhang Ermao was stunned and said: "President Xiao, isn't this a bit lacking in technical content?"
Xiao Changkun blurted out: "Didn't he have no technical content when he hit me?"
Zhang Ermao hurriedly explained: "President Xiao, I don't mean that. I just think that since he offended you, let's fix him hard. At the very least, let him lose all face in Jin Ling, can't mix, and roll away in a gray way! When he can't mix and wants to roll away, I will find someone to beat him up. This is called beating a drowning dog. Only in this way can you resolve the hatred in your heart, don't you think?"
Xiao Changkun was happy in his heart and immediately said: "It makes sense! You are the one who makes sense!"
Zhang Ermao said: "President Xiao, if you have no opinion, then I, Ermao, will start doing this?"
"Okay!" Xiao Changkun said without thinking: "Just do as you say!"
Zhang Ermao smiled: "Okay! You just wait for my good news!"
Xiao Changkun said: "I can't wait for a bit. If you have any situation, synchronize with me as soon as possible!"
"Okay!" Zhang Ermao said: "I'll think about how to start, and I'll report to you as soon as I think of a four, five, six!"
"Okay! I'll wait for your letter!" Xiao Changkun said, and hung up Zhang Ermao's phone with satisfaction.
At this time, Ye Chen couldn't help but scold in his heart. This bastard Zhang Ermao is really too smart. He even remembers Zhou Liangyun's hatred for his father-in-law, and Zhou Liangyun just arrived in Jin Ling today, and he received the news here. The efficiency is indeed surprisingly fast.
However, this Zhang Ermao doesn't know his relationship with Zhou Liangyun. Otherwise, even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to think about finding trouble with Zhou Liangyun.
At this time, Xiao Churan on the side stopped cleaning the dishes and chopsticks, and said righteously to Xiao Changkun: "Dad, when you caused such a big disaster in Jiqing Hall, broke a vase worth millions, and ran away after hitting it, if I were the manager there, I would probably also be unable to control hitting people!"
Xiao Changkun hummed: "Running is my business, but he can't hit me. He hit me, so he's wrong."
Xiao Churan shook her head helplessly and said seriously: "Dad, you must not let that Zhang Ermao go to find trouble with others. We can't do such shameful things!"
Xiao Changkun said impatiently: "Oh, Dad has a count in his heart, so don't worry about it!" ===== CHAPTER 3061 =====
