Chapter 122
For this gorgeous villa of the Jia family, there is rarely any fireworks.
Normally, Jia Mingzhong would go to work, and the only ones who stayed at home were the old man who lay on the bed every day, and Jia Ting's mother who never left the house.
Of course, there are not only one or two servants and nannies at home, but working in such a special environment, they do everything with trepidation, for fear of doing something wrong.
The only thing that would bring some fireworks to this family was every time Jia Ting came back.
She is a very smart girl. In order to make her family more humane, she will take care of every family member. Even if she faces her father who is usually unsmiling, she will also check her presence every day.
Now that Jia Ting is gone, only Jia Mingyi will come to Cao Mingzhong to discuss work issues from time to time.
Except for these times, most of the time, the Jia family seemed very deserted.
But today is quite special, the Jia family ushered in two guests.
One is Ye Ziming, and the other is Ye Chen, Ye Ziming's father.
Ye Chen and Jia Mingzhong are about the same age, compared to Jia Mingzhong who is usually unsmiling, Ye Chen always looks gentle and easy-going, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face, and when he smiles, there is a chance that the corners of his eyes will crease, It looks like it will give people an affinity.
However, anyone who knows him well will know that he is not just a gentle and easy-going person as he appears on the surface. If you have to find someone to compare with, then he probably has the same status as Zhongshicheng in Shanghai.
Since the establishment of the old man, the Jia family has been on a political path. With the help of the old man and his own efforts, Jia Mingzhong, as the eldest son of the old man, has swept away all his peers with his excellent qualifications. Now he has almost reached a certain peak .
In the next step, it is not something that can be achieved simply by qualifications or ability.
In addition to Jia Mingzhong, the boss, his three younger brothers have also achieved remarkable achievements. Now the second and third are working in other provinces, and their positions vary from high to low.
The fourth child, Jia Mingyi, was brought up by Jia Mingzhong. Now he is active in the imperial capital and surrounding areas, and his future achievements may be second only to Jia Mingzhong.
As the old man's old comrade-in-arms, the old man of the Ye family is on a business route.
And unlike the old man who has four sons, the Ye family's ability to spread branches and leaves is much worse. The old man only has one son, and that is Ye Chen.
There are also two other daughters, one of whom is already married as a mother, that is, Jia Ting's mother, and the other is Ye Zhiqiu, a daughter born to Mr. Ye after he got older.
Among the younger generation, the Jia family is prosperous. Except for Jia Mingzhong who only has one daughter, the other three elders all have sons and daughters.
As for the Ye family, the current younger generation has only one Ye Ziming.
Normally, today is just a very ordinary day, but because Ye Chen brought Ye Ziming to visit, this day is not considered ordinary.
At night, the Jia family courtyard was brightly lit, and Jia Mingzhong and Ye Chen stayed alone in the study, sitting opposite each other.
Ye Chen picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jia didn't do a good job this time. After my family Ziming found out, he was so sad that he didn't eat for several days.
Although he was smiling, Jia Mingzhong knew that Ye Chen was extremely dissatisfied.
Otherwise, in normal times, it would be kind to say "brother-in-law" one by one, unlike today, even calling out the official title, it is obvious that 587 came here with a little bit of intention to ask the teacher for a crime.
If it were someone else, knowing that Ye Chen was dissatisfied, he couldn't tell a lie.
But Jia Mingzhong's expression didn't change at all, and his tone of voice was very calm: "Then what does Boss Ye mean?"
Boss Ye... Ye Chen squeezed the flesh of his face into a ball with a smile, then relaxed again, sighed softly, and said, "Brother-in-law, I have no other intentions, it's just that this matter is a matter between the two old men." It’s been decided long ago, and you suddenly go back on it like this, can’t you justify it emotionally and rationally?”
"It's really unreasonable," Jia Mingzhong nodded.
Ye Chen was still waiting for his next words, but after drinking a cup of tea, Jia Mingzhong didn't say any more, which made the corners of Ye Chen's eyes twitch involuntarily, and asked: "What does the old man mean?"
"Why do you think I didn't explain too much just now?" Jia Mingzhong glanced at him.
This simple sentence made Ye Chen understand a lot of meaning.
The two old men were both killed from the battlefield back then, and they both carried a strong bloody spirit.
Mr. Jia let the younger generation go into politics for the purpose of revitalizing the country, while Mr. Ye let the younger generation go into business because he was afraid of poverty when he was young, and he didn't want the younger generation to suffer the same hardships as the older generation.
Later, in the peaceful era, the two old men were getting older. The old man of the Jia family still maintained his dignified and tough appearance.
Having said that, the two old men's right to speak in the family is resounding, and no one in the family dares to rebel against what they have decided.
At first, Ye Chen thought that Jia Mingzhong had selfish intentions in this matter, and perhaps there was a reason why Jia Ting didn't like Ye Ziming, but in Ye Chen's view, it was because the Jia family wanted to get rid of the Ye family completely.
Because the old man of the Jia family hadn't been alive for a few years, he felt that it was Jia Mingzhong who wanted to make a big deal out of it.
But now it seems... the old man of the Jia family knew about it.
As a result, Ye Chen's momentum, which hadn't been strengthened before, weakened in an instant.
He sat on the chair and pondered for a while, then asked: "Is it the old man's intention not to let Tingting marry Ziming?"
"No, I mean it."
Jia Mingzhong shook his head, and said: "Maybe it's because I'm old, or maybe it's because I have learned from the past... The old man always likes Tingting. Marriage is a lifelong event. If possible, he doesn't want to let Tingting go. Tingting followed in my footsteps.
"Ka--
The moment Jia Mingzhong finished speaking, the teacup that Ye Chen was holding tightly in his hand made a rustling sound.
There was no smile on his face, he looked straight into Jia Mingzhong's eyes expressionlessly, and said: "It is true that you were married under the orders of the two old men back then, and there is nothing wrong with that, but after all, you have been married to my sister for 21 years. There is also a child named Tingting, don't tell me that you are still thinking about that woman in Shanghai!"
Jia Mingzhong stared at him silently, and said softly: "You lost your composure."
"It's you who don't know how to flatter you!"
Ye Chen's voice showed a bit of gnashing of teeth: "Aside from our own identities, as your brother-in-law, of course I have the confidence to challenge you for this matter, Jia Mingzhong, do you really think that my sister will really be the same after marrying you?" Was the water spilled?"
"In the past 21 years, you know better than me what kind of living conditions (ajca) you have been in! Husband and wife even say thank you for serving water? Whose couple can be like you? Treating you, how did you treat her?"
"In the final analysis, the current state of your family is all caused by you. If you and my sister are in love with each other [Will Tingting become like this? Will things develop like this? You will have to bear the main responsibility for all of this.] !"
Perhaps it was Jia Mingzhong's words just now that hit a certain pain in Ye Chen's heart, making him more emotional for a while.
But even so, he still tried his best to suppress his voice, not wanting the movement in the study to spread outside.
Jia Mingzhong listened quietly to what he said, finally sighed softly, and said: "Those old things have all been broken since I got married. You are right, the current abnormal relationship in my family is I have to bear the main responsibility, but do you really dare to say that the person your sister is pretending to be is me?"
Hearing this, the corners of Ye Chen's eyes twitched lightly, and he snorted coldly in anger.
But after the sound, his mood calmed down, and he seemed not as angry as before.
Seeing this, Jia Mingzhong seemed to think of something again, and asked suddenly: "Speaking of which, you should know that Tingting stayed in Shanghai because of someone she likes, right?"
"So what?" Ye Chen said with a bad expression, "It's just a brat who came from somewhere, although Tingting is smart, but she is young after all, and it is understandable to make a few mistakes, I don't take it seriously. "
"Then you are wrong," Jia Mingzhong shook his head, and asked again: "Do you know the name of the person Tingting likes?"
Ye Chen snorted: "Is it necessary to know?"
"Yes, his surname is Qin, and his name is Qin Luo," Jia Mingzhong said while observing Ye Chen's expression, and finally added softly: "His father's name is Qin Muzhi.
"Kaka——"
The ceramic teacup in Ye Chen's hand made a harsh sound again, and his expression also distorted amidst the rustling sound, and his emotions seemed even more agitated than before.
But this time he didn't gnash his teeth like he did just now, instead he tried his best to suppress his emotions, sitting there motionless, just letting his expression change constantly.
It wasn't until a few minutes later that he finally calmed down, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said in a complicated tone: "Qin Muzhi... gave birth to a good son."
"Heh, we agree, Jia Mingzhong had a rare laugh.
Ye Chen turned a deaf ear to this, and just said to himself: "Forget it, I don't bother to care about these things anymore. The topic comes back to Tingting and Ziming. You tell the old man that since it's a matter of the younger generation, let's let it go." Is this what the younger generation should solve by themselves?"
"That's right," Jia Mingzhong nodded.
Ye Chen said with a look of resentment: "Tingting and Ziming have a marriage contract, but that kid named Qin took advantage of it.
"I'm afraid that's not the case."
Jia Mingzhong said slowly: "For Qin Luo, Tingting is even willing to defy her family's wishes and stay in Shanghai alone. According to this situation, it is not impossible for elopement to happen. I propose to let the younger generation solve it by themselves. It gave Ziming a chance to compete, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Ye Chen's complexion fluctuated for a while, and finally he snorted coldly, which was regarded as acquiescing.
Seeing this, Jia Mingzhong also smiled, and then said: "Besides, I think Ziming also agrees with this decision. The foundation you planned to let him show off a few years ago is now stable enough. Are you ready to show your skills? Young people are young people, and they really have drive."
Jia Mingzhong's words were regarded as a compliment to Ye Ziming, which made Ye Chen's complexion much better, and then said: "Zi Ming is capable, courageous and insightful. Among the younger generation I know, except for Shi Wancheng's son, there is no one People are comparable to Ziming, so what can Qin Luo compare with him? When Ziming shows his personal charm, Tingting will eventually make the right choice."
"No matter what, since we have decided to let the younger generation solve it by themselves, then let's stop interfering. As for the result, we will wait and see."
Jia Mingzhong got up while talking, this action means the conversation is over.
Ye Chen didn't have any objections either. He followed Jia Mingzhong, and the moment he walked out of the study, he changed into his usual polite, gentle and easy-going appearance.
living room,
Ye Ziming was chatting with a charming woman, and the content of the chat was all about Jia Ting.
Seeing two people coming out of the study one after another, Ye Ziming got up and said, "Uncle, Dad."
Ye Chen said casually: "It's getting late, sister, brother-in-law, Ziming and I are leaving first, and I will come to meet you some other day."
"Brother, walk slowly, come and sit often when you have time," the beautiful woman smiled lightly, while Jia Mingzhong took the initiative to walk out of the courtyard to see off Ye Chen and Ye Ziming.
The car was parked in the yard, but the driver was outside the villa.
Ye Ziming came to the side of the car and opened the back seat first, but Ye Chen didn't get in.
Ye Ziming's eyes wandered over to his father and uncle, then he closed the car door and got into the driver's seat first.
Ye Chen was not in a hurry to get in the car, and said to Jia Mingzhong who was standing by: "Speaking of which, Zhiqiu has a very good relationship with Tingting, and she is also in Shanghai now, so she happens to be able to pay attention to Tingting all the time."
Ting's situation.
Jia Mingzhong chuckled: "Do you think she will help Ziming supervise Tingting and Qin Luo?"
"After all, she is Ziming's real aunt..."
As Ye Chen was talking, he suddenly sighed again, and said in a complicated tone: "Forget it, she doesn't think of herself as a member of the Ye family. It would be nice to come back to the emperor every year to see it.
I really can't expect anything from her, let's go and have time to drink together. "
After Ye Chen finished speaking, he got into the car, and Ye Ziming drove away. He didn't hand over the driving seat to the driver until he came outside the courtyard, and he sat in the back row with his father.
At this time, his father raised his hand to activate the partition between the front and rear cars, and Ye Ziming immediately sat upright.
He knew that his father had something to say to himself.
Sure enough, when the partition board was raised, Ye Chen said slowly, "How confident are you in the company's operations?"
Ye Ziming said seriously: "The software I developed has no problems at all, and it has the potential far beyond similar software currently on the market. Now that the funds are fully in place,
All I have to do is wait until the software goes on the market, and the company's reputation will skyrocket. I am confident in this. "
"Confidence is a good thing, but stability is also required in everything...but it doesn't matter if you are aggressive this time. After all, women always worship the strong, as long as you show that you are far more than
The charm of the man Tingting likes, she will always come back to you. "
"Dad I know, in the final analysis, Tingting didn't want to marry me because we are too familiar with each other. She has always been a smart girl, but she is easy to be misled by her cleverness.
After this experience, as long as I can win her over, I believe she will fall in love with me. "
"Well, your idea is good, just develop it as soon as possible, but don't think that you can do whatever you want with my support behind you, and you have to master everything."
"Yes, I know Dad," Ye Ziming nodded, and then he seemed to think of something, hesitatingly said: "Speaking of which, an interesting thing happened in the company recently
thing.
"What's the matter?" Ye Chen showed some indifference, although the company was the cornerstone he gave to his son, but after all, it was too small to catch his attention for the time being.
Ye Ziming explained: "It's not a big deal, it's just that someone recently bought a large amount of the company's stock, and the total amount is about 60 million."
Ye Chen said casually: "This is normal. Your company has raised 100 million yuan every year these years, and recently reached 500 million assets in a short period of time. Anyone with a discerning eye will think that you have made a big move.
For those financial companies, seeing this situation is like a shark smelling blood. Buying in large quantities is within the normal range. Don't panic, just hold on. "
Ye Ziming said: "I know this, if it's just like this, I wouldn't care too much about it, the key is...it's not multiple accounts that buy a lot of stocks, that is to say,
It can be determined that it is not an operation from a financial company. "
As soon as these words came out, Ye Chen frowned slightly: "Personal account bought 60 million?"
Ye Ziming nodded: "That's right."
Ye Chen pondered for a while, and said: "Personally buying so much, the only possibility is that the people around you know that you are going to make a big move, so they secretly want to follow your order."
A big move to make a fortune... There are other possibilities, but with the amount of 60 million, it is a bit unimaginable. "
Ye Ziming asked humbly, "Then what do you mean?"
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes for a while, and said: "It's still the same sentence, just play it safe, as long as your software is fine, everything else will be fine."
Ye Ziming said solemnly: "Yes, I know Dad."
Watching Ye Chen's car drive away, Jia Mingzhong watched the scarlet taillights drift away, stood quietly at the door for a while, and then turned back to the villa.
After returning, he thought that his wife would go back to the room to rest first, but he didn't expect that she was still in the living room, talking and laughing with people on the phone.
Jia Mingzhong heard the loud voice coming from the mobile phone. It was his daughter's voice.
"Are you videoing with Tingting?" Jia Mingzhong asked casually.
"Well, my daughter called, and my wife responded softly.
Jia Mingzhong nodded, didn't want to say anything more, and planned to go upstairs to rest.
At this moment, he heard his daughter's voice coming from his wife's mobile phone again: "Mom, I want to talk to my dad."
The moment the voice sounded, Jia Mingzhong stopped when he was about to climb up the stairs.
His wife looked up at him, then smiled at Jia Ting: "I'll give your dad the phone, you can talk to him."
While talking, she walked to Jia Mingzhong, gave him the phone, and said: "Please send the phone to my room later, thank you.
"...Well," Jia Mingzhong replied without emotion, and only pointed the phone at himself after his wife went upstairs.
The background on the phone screen is obviously my daughter's dormitory. My daughter, who I haven't seen for more than a month, is staying in front of the screen. The smile on her face is slightly complicated, but it reveals
An unspeakable kindness.
She stared at the middle-aged man on the screen of her mobile phone, and called softly: "Dad."
Jia Mingzhong replied: "Well, haven't you rested yet?"
"Not yet... just finished dinner in the cafeteria, Zhuang's dormitory."
"rest early."
The content of the chat between the father and daughter is so concise that it makes people feel awkward, but they actually feel normal with each other.
In their usual chats, Jia Mingzhong would only say a few more words unless they were talking about serious matters, otherwise they always looked serious.
But in normal times, after Jia Mingzhong finished speaking like this, the topic would probably end there.
But just when Jia Mingzhong thought his daughter was going to end the chat, she asked, "Dad, is there anything you want to tell me?"
Jia Mingzhong was silent for a moment, and then said: "Since you have decided to stay in Shanghai, you should live a good life and don't think too much about other things."
"I see...Dad, I also have something to tell you."
"you say."
"Thank you, Dad."
When Jia Ting said the word "thank you", for a moment, Jia Mingzhong felt that something was touched in his heart.
This is not the first time he has heard the word "thank you" from his daughter's mouth. It can even be said that he has heard it countless times.
But the strange thing is, it is obviously the same two words, but the feeling in his ears makes him feel that it is different from before.
Jia Mingzhong couldn't quite adapt to this feeling. He seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't say it, so his throat slid up and down.
At the end, the words that came out were still: "Go to bed early."
Jia Ting smiled contentedly, because he saw that the corners of his father's mouth curled up when he said the last sentence.
The unsmiling father hadn't shown such a cute smile in front of her for a long time.
She nodded in response, and at this moment, the door of the dormitory was suddenly opened.
Ji Yan walked in hurriedly, climbed onto the bed and rummaged for something.
Hao Meng and Shi Yulu, who were drinking milk tea and playing games, looked at her curiously, asking questions one after another.
"Ji Yan, didn't you go to accompany Aunt?"
"Is something missing? Shall we help you find it?"
While looking for it, Ji Yan replied: "It's okay, it seems that the mobile phone was lost in the dormitory...I found it.
While talking, she climbed down again, preparing to leave.
Jia Ting looked away, and said to her father, "Dad, good night, you also go to bed early."
After she finished speaking, when she was about to hang up the phone, Li Yan happened to pass by her and even glanced at the camera.
At this very moment, Jia Ting just hung up the video, and in the second of the delay after the video was hung up, in the part of the dialogue box belonging to Jia Mingzhong, she found her father's face
Shock written all over it. .
N-M
