Today is the 78th birthday of the Chen family.

However, Chen Botian is keeping a low profile and doesn't want to be extravagant.

Especially because Gao Fei married Shen Yinbing and Wang Chen accepted Du zikang's pursuit, the relationship between Chen family and Gao family became awkward.

In the past, Chen used to go to Gao's house to play chess with old man Gao and smoke two cigarettes. But since the end of last year, he has never set foot in Gao's house.

The way Gao Fei and Wang Chen are now, it can't be said who is right or who is wrong. In a word, it is a fatal influence on the relationship between Gao and Chen.

Sometimes, Chen Po Tian regrets that he shouldn't have married Wang Chen to Gao Fei. Now that Wang Chen was abandoned by Gao Fei and the Chen family lost face, it's well known in Beijing. The old lady's birthday party is naturally held in a low profile.

Of course, no matter how low-key Mrs. Chen's birthday party is, we still have to invite a few close relatives to attend, especially the old lady's family members. No matter what happens.

Mr. Chen's family name is Fang. Her mother's family is a quasi first-class family in Beijing. Her three nephews also hold important positions in officialdom. However, the old Fang family (that is, Mrs. Chen's elder brother) has always been pursuing mediocrity, so they rarely appear in people's eyes.

For the old lady's birthday this time, the eldest and the second of the Fang family are unable to return to Beijing on business. Only the third party, Fang Yunkang, works in Beijing, so he is the mother's family member who represents the Fang family to celebrate her aunt's birthday.

In fact, even if Fang Yunkang is out of town, he will try his best to return to Beijing to celebrate the old lady's birthday, because he is going to show his new girlfriend to his aunt this time.

Fang Yunkang is 44 years old. His original wife, yuan, died of illness a few years ago. Just after the Spring Festival this year, he was introduced to his new girlfriend, Chu liangxiao.

Although Fang Yunkang is a widower, he has a distinguished family background. After his wife died of illness, it's very easy to find another beautiful girl who has never been out of the cabinet and walk together in life.

Chu liangxiao has never been in the cabinet. She divorced her husband not long ago.

The divorcee who can make the third member of the Fang family like is certainly not an ordinary person: Chu liangxiao once held a leading position at the main hall level in Shencheng last year, and this year he was transferred to Dongcheng District as the first leader.

Chu liangxiao not only has excellent working ability, but also is a beauty who brings disaster to the country and the people. Especially after the vicissitudes of life, she is as gorgeous as a rainbow after the rain. She has to dress up when she has to be on camera for business.

When other people dress up in the mirror, they try their best to dress up young, beautiful and vigorous, but Chu liangxiao can only do the opposite, and dress up as steady and mediocre as possible.

For example, the head of green silk hair into a fan, wearing a pair of large black frame flat glasses, wearing a strict style of neutral black clothes - in short, Chu liangxiao as long as the camera, or a meeting, will dress himself up to the old, a good young woman Huaxin, dressed as a dignified woman over 40 years old.

But as long as she returns to her private life, she will shake herself and return to her beauty.

It doesn't matter whether the Chu liangxiao is beautiful or not. After many vicissitudes of life, she finally gets the favor of the goddess of fortune and is pursued by the third member of the Fang family. Finally, relying on the Fang family, the Chu family, which has been declining in recent years, can see the hope of a comeback.

The important thing is that she used to be Tang Peng's woman.

It's not polite to say that without Tang Peng, she would not have come to Beijing to serve as a real leader. Maybe when she was in Shencheng, her innocence had been destroyed by some local ruffians. When she made soy sauce in those Qingshui yamen, chuliangxiao, once known as a flower of Chinese officialdom, also withered.

According to Chu liangxiao's nature, even if she is not the leader, she hopes to grow old with Tang Peng.

Chu liangxiao cares about Tang Peng very much, which is the kind of care that "without him, the whole world will be dark.".

But it's a pity that there are always too many helplessness in the world. As the most promising officialdom elite of Chu family, she bears all the hope that Chu family can rise slowly: for the sake of the whole Chu family, under the strong pressure of the Chu family's father, when Tang Peng was in the most difficult time, she accepted Fang Yunkang's pursuit and became Fang's future third daughter-in-law.

She betrayed Tang Peng (about the story of Chu liangxiao, we still have to see "marry a queen to be a wife"), although very helpless, but it is true.

At more than ten o'clock this morning, Chu liangxiao came to Chen's house with Fang Yunkang.

When they came to the Chen family, the other guests who could be informed by the Chen family had not come yet.

In fact, Fang Yunkang doesn't know who will come to the birthday party today.

For the arrival of Chu liangxiao, Chen Laofu was very happy and satisfied with her. He took her by the hand and sat there talking for a long time.

Since today is to attend the old lady's birthday party, what style of clothes should Chu liangxiao wear and what kind of image should he use to enter the Chen family in order to make a good impression on the old Chen family as much as possible, but it's a lot of trouble.

Originally, Chu liangxiao wanted to come to the Chen family with the image of "virtuous and dignified". After all, she thought the Chen family should like to be steady.

But Fang Yunkang told her: Although the old lady is old, she is not conservative. When she was young, she had studied in western countries for many years. Influenced by western education, she prefers women to show their charm anytime and anywhere.

To put it simply, Fang Yunkang hoped Chu liangxiao would come to Chen's house as a "young and beautiful" capable urban girl, and repeatedly promised that the old lady would be very happy to see her.

Chu liangxiao, who has not been specially decorated, looks more like a beautiful president of a big company. He is full of positive vigor, and he doesn't lack calm ability. At first glance, Chen's people like her.

Chen has two sons and three grandsons, but he has neither daughter nor granddaughter. This is the main reason why the Chen family chose Wang Chen as their granddaughter at the beginning: the old lady likes girls very much.

To be honest, since Wang Chen came to the Chen family, the old Chen couple have more love for her than their sons, daughter-in-law, grandchildren and daughter-in-law. Fortunately, the younger generation of the Chen family is very open-minded. They don't get jealous because Wang Chen, a distant relative, is loved by the old people. On the contrary, they all like and love her very much.

Both Chen's and Chen's families work in other places. Fortunately, Wang Chen is able to accompany and take care of the old people in Beijing.

Wang Chen's status in the hearts of the Chen family is "higher than" the Chen brothers. Fang Yunkang, his nephew, naturally has a higher opinion of her.

After Fang Yunkang took Chu liangxiao to the Chen family, he went to the pavilion in the back garden with his father and son. Chu liangxiao, Wang Chen and two daughters-in-law of the Chen family all accompanied the old lady in the main hall of the front yard.

"Xiaochen, where do you work now?"

When Chu liangxiao saw Wang Chen for the first time, he had a good impression on her. He felt that the girl had the "elegant demeanor" of her youth. She was delicate, capable and astringent. The most important thing was that Wang Chen's eyebrow, which was always slightly wrinkled, always unconsciously wanted to be close to her and take care of her.

"Well, it's my third aunt (according to the relationship between Fang Yunkang and the Chen family). Your soldiers were transferred from the education department to Dongcheng District last month. Now they are in the District Administration for Industry and commerce. They are going to report to you after straightening out their work. Then they will ask your third sister-in-law to take care of me."

With a smile, Wang Chen expressed his respect for Chu liangxiao, the leader of the east city, and the closeness of his "family", with a little mischief.

"Ha ha, Xiao Chen, you can see that you don't know each other before. Now we are all relatives. Can your third aunt not take care of you?"

Chu liangxiao did not say anything, Chen's sister-in-law said with a smile.

"When I first look at Xiaochen, I can see that she is a girl with strong working ability. Even if no one takes care of her, she can do her job well. It's just the so-called" gold shines everywhere. "

Chu liangxiao politely heard that Wang Chen actually worked in the Bureau of industry and commerce under her jurisdiction. He was even more happy in his heart.

From the attitude of Chen Laofu and even doting on Wang Chen, Chu liangxiao can see that the granddaughter of the Chen family has a different status in the Chen family.

There is a big tree of Chen family behind it. In the grass-roots officialdom of Dongcheng District (the main six departments under the jurisdiction of the district and county are regarded as grass-roots officialdom), who can do it for her and won't support her work?

What's more, Chu liangxiao had heard before that when Wang Chen married Gao's second grandson, who is now in the ascendant, old Gao was extravagant, but she didn't know what happened. She had just married that young Gao, and then she went her separate ways.

Chu liangxiao has been working in local areas all these years. Although his hometown is in Beijing, the Chu family is just a small family with Chen, Gao, Liao and other big families. They are not qualified to participate in and know the private affairs of these big families.

"How come they haven't arrived yet?"

When several people talked and laughed, Mrs. Chen looked at her watch impatiently.

Xiaopai, the granddaughter of Chen's elder sister, joined several other Chen family members to celebrate the old lady's birthday.

Chen's second sister-in-law replied, "I called Xiaopai half an hour ago. She said that there was a traffic jam on the road, and she didn't know when she would be able to come

When Chen's second sister-in-law said, "who is that?" Chu liangxiao found that Wang Chen's eyes were obviously dim for a while, but he seemed to think of something happy, and his eyebrows slightly picked.

Who should be the heartbreaker?

As a passer-by, Chu liangxiao guessed almost immediately from her second sister-in-law's words and Wang Chen's reaction.

After listening to the daughter-in-law mention who, Mrs. Chen's face was still full of kind smile. Her face suddenly became gloomy, and she said in a low voice: "hum, I had to let that smelly bastard come on a happy day. It's really a wet blanket!"

"Mom, don't mention it. It's dad's idea."

Seeing that the old lady was not happy, Chen's sister-in-law quickly advised her to say, "today, since my father asked him to come, I'll come. It's just the right time to make an end of this matter, so as to save him from delaying Xiaochen's good youth."

"When that guy comes, we'll show him."

The second sister-in-law of the Chen family was also indignant, but Wang Chen didn't say anything and looked embarrassed.

Chu liangxiao, who doesn't know what's going on, certainly won't cut in casually. When he is trying to find a chance to avoid it first, his mobile phone rings.

"I'll take a call first."

Chu liangxiao quickly sorry smile, stand up and take out the phone, only a look, face is suddenly changed.
