C1856 Lady Chen's Birthday Party
Today was the seventy-eighth birthday of the old woman from Chen Family.
However, Chen Potian was acting very low key right now and didn't want to be unscrupulous.
Especially because Gao Fei had married Shen Yinbing, after Wang Chen accepted Du Zikang's pursuit, the relationship between Chen Family and Gao Family had become awkward.
In the past, Chen Potian would often go to Gao Family to play chess with Old Man Gao and smoke two cigarettes whenever he had something to do. However, since the end of last year, he had never once stepped foot in Gao Family.
With Gao Fei and Wang Chen's current state, it was hard to say who was right and who was wrong. In short, it could be considered a fatal influence on the relationship between the two families.
At times, Chen Potian was even more regretful. Back then, he shouldn't have married Wang Chen to Wu steel-- Now that Wang Chen had been abandoned by Gao Fei and lost all her face due to Chen Family, everyone in the Jingdu City knew about it.
Of course, no matter how low-key Old Madam Chen's birthday feast was, she still had to invite a few close relatives to attend, especially her relatives.
Old Madam Chen's surname was originally Fang, her family's Jingdu City was considered first-rate and rich, her three nephews held important positions in the government. However, the old man from the Fang family (the elder brother of Old Madam Chen) had always pursued the path of mediocrity, so he rarely appeared in front of people.
The eldest son of the Fang family and Lao Er were both unable to return to the capital because of their official duties. Only Ol 'Three, Faang Yunkang, worked at Jingdu City, so he was a relative who had come to congratulate his aunt on her birthday on behalf of the Fang family.
Actually, even if Faang Yunkang was outside, he would think of ways to return to the Jingdu City to offer his birthday to the madame, because he wanted to bring his new girlfriend to his aunt this time.
Faang Yunkang was forty-four years old, and his former girlfriend, Mrs. Yuan, had died of illness a few years ago. After the Spring Festival this year, he was introduced to his new girlfriend: Chu Liangxiao.
Even though Faang Yunkang was a widower, his family was well-known. After his wife passed away from illness, it was still very easy for her to find a beautiful girl who had never left the pavilion to walk around with him.
Chu Liangxiao, on the other hand, was not someone who had never been out before. She had recently divorced her husband.
Of course, a divorced woman who could make the third eldest of the Fang family fall in love was no ordinary person: Chu Liangxiao, last year was the highest Superior of the Shen City. Only this year did she transfer her East District over to be the first in charge.
Not only did Chu Liangxiao have outstanding working ability, but she was also a beauty who could bring calamity upon herself. Especially after the vicissitudes of life, she was as gorgeous as a rainbow after the rain.
Other people would try their best to dress up as young and beautiful as possible, but Chu Liangxiao could only do the opposite and try her best to dress up as steady and ordinary as possible.
She wore a pair of wide, flat glasses with black frames, and a well-cut black suit. Chu Liangxiao, in short, would dress herself up as an old lady whenever she was in the mirror or in a meeting. She would dress herself up as a dignified woman over forty.
However, as long as she returned to her private life, she would immediately shake her body and return to being a beauty.
The fact that Chu Liangxiao was not beautiful and had experienced many vicissitudes of life, that she had ultimately obtained the favor of the Goddess of Luck and was pursued by the third son of the Fang family, and that she had finally relied on the Fang family, that she had been able to bring hope to rise from the ashes of the past few years, was not important.
The most important thing was that she was Tang Peng's woman.
It could be said that if it wasn't for Tang Peng, she might have died a long time ago.
According to Chu Liangxiao's nature, even if she didn't do anything, she still hoped to grow old along with Tang Peng.
Chu Liangxiao cared a lot about Tang Peng, the kind of 'without him, the whole world will be dark' kind of care.
Unfortunately, there was always too much helplessness in this world. As the official elite who held the most hope in Chu Family, she carried with her entire body all the hope that Chu Family could slowly rise up: For the entire Chu Family, under the strong pressure of the old man in Chu Family, when Tang Peng was in the most difficult times, she accepted Faang Yunkang's pursuit, and became the Fang family's future third wife.
She could be considered to have betrayed Tang Peng. Although she felt helpless, it was true.
It was around 10 this morning, and Chu Liangxiao had followed Faang Yunkang to the Chen Family.
When they came to the Chen Family, all the other guests that could be notified by the Chen Family had not come yet.
In fact, Faang Yunkang didn't know who would come to the birthday party today.
Old Madam Chen was very happy with Chu Liangxiao's arrival. She was also very pleased with her and held her hand as they chatted for a long time.
Since she was participating in the Old Madam's birthday banquet today, Chu Liangxiao had to figure out what kind of clothes she should wear and what image she should use to enter the Chen Family in order to leave a good impression on the old man.
Initially, Chu Liangxiao had thought of using the image of 'virtuous and dignified' to refer to Chen Family. After all, she felt that the Chen Family elder should like to be steady.
However, Faang Yunkang told her: "Even though the madame is old, her thoughts are not conservative. When she was young, she had studied in Western countries for many years and was influenced by Western education. She actually prefers women to display their charm wherever they go."
To put it simply, Faang Yunkang hoped that Chu Liangxiao would come to Chen Family with the image of a 'young and beautiful' shrewd capital girl. He also repeatedly promised that the madame would definitely be very happy to see her.
Chu Liangxiao, without any special modifications, looked more like a beautiful CEO of a large company. Her whole body was brimming with a positive spirit, not to mention a steady and capable air. At first glance, she made Old Lady Chen fall in love with her.
Chen Potian had two sons and three grandsons, but he didn't have a daughter or a granddaughter. This was also the main reason why Chen Family had taken Wang Chen as his foster granddaughter: The old mistress was extremely fond of girls.
To be honest, ever since Wang Chen had arrived at Chen Family, the Lao Chen couple's love for her had far surpassed that of her own son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and daughter-in-law. Fortunately, Chen Family's young generation were very open-minded, and didn't get jealous just because Wang Chen, a distant relative of theirs, was doted on by the elders.
Luckily, Wang Chen was able to stay in the Jingdu City, so she was able to come often to accompany and take care of the old man.
Wang Chen's position in the heart of the Chen Family Elder 'surpassed' the Chen Family Brothers', so Faang Yunkang, the nephew of his mother, naturally had to think even more highly of her.
After Faang Yunkang brought Chu Liangxiao to Chen Family, he went to the pavilion in the backyard with the three people of Chen Family to talk. Chu Liangxiao, Wang Chen and two of Chen Family's daughter-in-law were there to accompany the madame.
"Chen, where do you work now?"
The first time Chu Liangxiao saw Wang Chen, she had a very good impression of her. She felt that this girl had the elegance from her youth, elegance, skill, and self-control. Most importantly, Wang Chen's eyebrows were always slightly creased.
I, in fact, am one of Third Aunt (according to Faang Yunkang's relationship with Chen Family), and I only transferred from the education department to the East District last month. Currently, I am at the District's Trade and Industry Bureau, preparing to clean up my work before reporting to you about my work.
Wang Chen smiled. Her words were filled with respect for Chu Liangxiao, the head of the east city, and a little bit of naughtiness from her close family.
"Hehe, Chen, what you're saying is foreign. It's fine that we didn't know each other in the past, but now that we're relatives, can your Third Aunt not take care of you?"
Before Chu Liangxiao could say anything,'s sister-in-law laughed and said.
"As soon as I look at Chen, I can tell that she is a very capable girl. Even if there is no one to take care of her, she can still do her job well. As the saying goes, gold shines everywhere."
Chu Liangxiao was quick to act courteously. When she heard that Wang Chen was working under her administration, she was overjoyed.
From Old Madam Chen's doting attitude, Chu Liangxiao could tell that this foster granddaughter of Chen Family did not have an ordinary identity in the Chen Family.
With the protection of the huge tree called Chen Family behind her back, who would be able to do anything to make things difficult for her and not support her in her work?
Furthermore, Chu Liangxiao had heard before that when Wang Chen had married the current Gao Family's direct grandson, Old Man Gao, was unrestrained and unrestrained. It was just that she did not know what had happened, and had parted ways not long after marrying the Gao Family's young master.
Chu Liangxiao had been working in the local area all these years. Although her hometown was in Jingdu City, her Chu Family was nothing compared to the wealthy families like Chen, Gao, and Liao. She did not have the qualifications to participate in or know about the private affairs of these wealthy families.
"Why haven't Xiao Yu and the others arrived yet?"
While the few of them were chatting and laughing with each other, Madam Chen Family looked at her watch impatiently.
Xiao Fu was the granddaughter of Chen Potian's blood related sister. This time, he came to congratulate the old lady on her birthday along with a few other relatives in Chen Family.
Second sister Chen Family replied: "Half an hour ago, I called Xiao Fu, she said that she met with a traffic jam on the way, and didn't know when she would be able to come. Ah, eldest sister-in-law, wait a bit, Xiao Fu didn't come, who wouldn't come?"
When second sister Chen Family said 'who', Chu Liangxiao noticed that Wang Chen's expression clearly darkened a little, but as if she had thought of something happy, her brows slightly raised.
That person should be Unfaithful Lover, right?
As someone who had experienced this before, from her second sister-in-law's words and Wang Chen's reaction, Chu Liangxiao had already guessed the truth.
After hearing her daughter-in-law mention who it was, Madam Chen's face, which had a kind smile on it, suddenly darkened. She said in a low voice, "Humph, I was originally very happy, but now I have to make that bastard come. How depressing!"
"Mom, don't mention it. It was father's idea."
When Chen Family's eldest sister-in-law saw that the old lady was unhappy, she immediately tried to persuade her: "Since father wants him to come, then come. We just had to use this matter to settle it, so as to prevent him from delaying Chen's good youth."2
"When that guy comes, we'll just show him what's really going on."
Second sister Chen Family seemed to be filled with righteous indignation, but Wang Chen did not say anything, her face was full of awkwardness.
Chu Liangxiao, who didn't understand what was going on, obviously wouldn't casually interrupt. Just as she was thinking about where to go first, her phone rang.
"Let me take a call first."
Chu Liangxiao smiled apologetically as she stood up and took out her phone. When she took a look, her expression suddenly changed.
