A few days after the incident in the newspaper came out, Chen Xiaohui brought her daughter to Ye Fan's house. It happened to be the weekend and Erbao was at home. She pushed her daughter into Erbao's arms and asked, "Where is your mother?"
Erbao was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked towards the study.
When Chen Xiaohui arrived at the door of the penthouse, she wanted to open the door and go in. Worried about seeing something she shouldn't have seen, she knocked on the door and asked Ye Fan to come out.
Ye Fan couldn't hear what was going on outside the window while he was checking information. Chen Xiaohui knocked Ye Fan a few more times before hearing it. The study room was very messy. The recliner and the desk were full of professional books and various quotations. Ye Fan didn't invite her in.
Ye Fan opened the door and asked her to go to the living room.
Chen Xiaohui looked at the other end of the room: "Is that the collection room over there?"
Ye Fan nodded: "Want to see your antiques again?"
Chen Xiaohui was about to speak but stopped.
Seeing this, Ye Fan couldn't figure out what could happen to a hard-working office worker like her, so he simply asked: "What's wrong?"
"Go in first, and then we'll talk after you get in." Chen Xiaohui motioned to Ye Fan to open the door.
Ye Fan asked her to wait a moment, the key was in the bedroom. Ye Fan got the key and opened the security door first and then swiped the card. Chen Xiaohui is very satisfied with the security measures.
The collection room has a door but no windows. Even if the door is opened, it is dark inside. Ye Fan turned on the light, and Chen Xiaohui opened the drawer and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the things were still inside.
Ye Fan got more and more strange when he came to him: "Isn't it just a crystal cup?"
"Remember what you said before?"
When Chen Xiaohui first bought this crystal cup, she insisted that it was an antique. Ye Fan thought it was all modern craftsmanship, so he didn't want to be taken advantage of - the seller asked for ten thousand, and he thought Ye Fan was a fool.
Ye Fan returned the money to two thousand with a mocking look on his face.
Ten years ago, most of the wealthy people were nouveau riche. The nouveau riche bought cars and watches but not antiques. This industry was in deep water, and many of the nouveau riche had money but were not stupid. In addition, there were not many foreigners in those days, and antiques were expensive but not marketable. The seller was anxious for money, so he gritted his teeth and sold it to Ye Fan for 2,500.
Chen Xiaohui was very excited. When Ye Fan saw that she was going to rob her, he didn't want to visit her in prison and had to pay for it.
Even today, Ye Fan feels that he made a loss.
Chen Xiaohui took out a newspaper from her bag: "Look here."
Ye Fan followed her finger and saw that there was a crystal cup in the restricted entry list. Ye Fan blinked his eyes and confirmed that it was a crystal cup. He was incredulous: "You mean, this?" He looked at the crystal cup and pointed at the newspaper. Everything in front of him was easy to understand, but Ye Fan's head was muddy and his throat was tight. "How do they know that I have a crystal cup?"
"How could they know you have it?" Chen Xiaohui said amusedly, "The ones restricted from leaving the country are definitely different from the ones you buy. But if they can't buy it, they can't get a substitute?"
Ye Fan suddenly realized: "I understand. If the previous crystal cup cost 100,000 yuan, after the above restrictions, my value may skyrocket?"
Chen Xiaohui nodded repeatedly: "I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Ye Fan calmed down: "This premise is really antique."
"Of course it's an antique! I've studied it." Chen Xiaohui picked up the crystal cup. "Look at the manufacturing process, how does it look like it's made by a machine? It must have been polished bit by bit by people."
Ye Fan asked: "Then you came here today to take it back?"
Chen Xiaohui took a breath and was very unhappy: "Who do you think I am? Besides, my room of expensive furniture is missing a crystal cup for you."
"Then you came here just to tell me this?" Ye Fan asked.
Chen Xiaohui nodded: "Of course. You have never believed that this thing is real. If any knowledgeable person discovers this and says a few good words to you, you can't give it to him for free?"
"Am I that stupid?" Ye Fan rolled his eyes at her.
Chen Xiaohui: "You are not stupid, you are loose."
Ye Fan opened his mouth: "I - I admit that I am loose, but it doesn't matter who or what happens."
Chen Xiaohui shook her head and clicked her tongue: "I didn't see it."
Ye Fan immediately didn't want to talk to her: "Is this really why you went all the way?"
"There is another matter." Chen Xiaohui gave her the newspaper, "Read it clearly."
Ye Fan didn't pay much attention to the specific content before: "Is there anyone here who can't leave the country?"
Chen Xiaohui: "I don't know if there are. Half of the things in your house were bought by yourself. Just do it right."
Ye Fan was too lazy to compare them one by one: "Put the newspaper here and talk about it later."
"Don't you want to see if there are any restrictions on leaving the country?"
Ye Fan: "I don't plan to cash out, so what does it matter if I do?"
Makes sense! Chen Xiaohui envy: "Having money means being great."
Ye Fan nodded, it was amazing.
Chen Xiaohui suddenly choked and couldn't speak: "I really shouldn't have come here to remind you."
Ye Fan: "Then why are you here?"
Of course, he was afraid that Ye Fan would not understand and sell the crystal cup cheaply. Chen Xiaohui didn't want to admit this, so she asked: "Do you keep these things like this?"
Ye Fan said: "I'm not just buying low and selling high. Why don't you just leave it and donate it to the museum? But the museum doesn't lack these. If there is one from the Western Zhou and Pre-Qin Dynasties, it's worth donating."
"That's right." Chen Xiaohui nodded, "Just think of buying a house as an investment. But it's more cost-effective than buying a house as an investment."
Ye Fan doesn't think so: "It's not as easy to cash out as a house. If I were you, don't bother with this. If you have money, buy a house. The rent will be enough to pay your children's tuition."
"I can't afford a house worth over RMB 100,000 a house." Chen Xiaohui can't make much money selling her antiques now, and she plans to sell them in a few years. But apart from raising her children and using it for herself, her salary was spent on antiques, so she had no money to buy a house.
Ye Fan asked: "Is there no welfare housing in your workplace?"
Chen Xiaohui woke up from a dream and exclaimed: "That's right!"
"Borrow some from dad first." Ye Fan saw her leaving and closed the door: "Beautiful Liang didn't come?"
"Write test papers at home." Chen Xiaohui saw her daughter holding a table tennis racket and hurried over: "Where did it come from?"
The child looked at Erbao: "Sister's."
Erbao came out of the kitchen carrying a small dining table, placed a row of candies in the middle of the dining table, and said to his little cousin: "The winner will eat one."
The child didn't want to play with the ball, and his eyes lit up when he heard this.
In fact, children don't eat sweets very much, but the candy wrappers are beautiful, and when the second child puts them on display, she wants to get them.
Ye Fan reminded: "Er Bao, slow down."
"How old am I? I can still bully her." Erbao said amusedly, "Mom, are you busy?"
Ye Fan: "I'll watch it tonight."
Nanny Xiao Wang asked Chen Xiaohui if she wanted to drink water.
Chen Xiaohui said no. Ye Fan asked her to go to the living room and take out the box on the bottom of the coffee table: "Tea, coffee?" "Tea! Dad said your black tea is the same as for foreign guests. Is it true?" Chen Xiaohui looked curious.
Ye Fan: "How do I know? I have never received foreigners. Ask me why you might as well ask Erbao."
Chen Xiaohui looked outside and saw Erbao squatting at the other end of the small table to play ball with her daughter. Her daughter was very happy. She didn't want to disturb her, so she looked away: "Actually, there is one more thing."
Ye Fan raised his eyebrows, as I expected.
Chen Xiaohui laughed when she saw this: "I didn't plan to tell you. But no matter what, I feel that I should tell you. Let me declare in advance that I have no other intentions. Don't rush me as if your mouth has been quenched with poison."
Ye Fan nodded and walked towards the water dispenser.
Chen Xiaohui waited for her to come over with hot water and sit down before saying: "A few days ago, my old house received an express letter."
Ye Fan nodded: "Listen."
"From Shencheng." After Chen Xiaohui said that, she stared at her expression.
Ye Fan was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that the people of Shencheng would still remember her after so many years. "Looking for me?"
Chen Xiaohui thought about the content of the letter: "I'm looking for you as well as me."
Ye Fan: "If you are sick over there, do you still have to go to the funeral?"
Chen Xiaohui: "I can't believe everything in the letter, but I feel that the real situation is similar to what you said. Mom meant to send two thousand yuan. Brother said there is a second time if there is a first time, so it's better to pretend that you haven't received it."< br>
Ye Fan: "Did you send the money?"
Chen Xiaohui said: "Mom asked me to send it today."
Ye Fan thought for a moment; "Wait a minute." He went to the bedroom and took out an envelope. There was four thousand yuan in it. "Write clearly in the letter, there is only so much. Leave the address of your old residence."
"Although the wages in Shencheng are not low, ordinary technicians can't save so much even if they live frugally all year round. Will they think you are rich because of this?" Chen Xiaohui is very worried, "Now it is no better than before. In the past, when revolutions were everywhere, they did not dare to Make a big fuss. If I come here now and find out that your company focuses on reputation, I’m afraid they’ll make a big fuss.”
Ye Fan sighed: "How many years have you been back? Why are you still acting like a small citizen?"
Chen Xiaohui expected that she would not be able to spit out ivory from her mouth, so she was not surprised when she heard this: "What do you mean?"
"If I don't commit suicide, I won't die." Ye Fan said.
Chen Xiaohui's expression was hard to describe.
Ye Fan raised his eyebrows: "Don't believe it?"
"No, why are you so naive? Have you forgotten that 'a big tree attracts the wind'? No one dares to cause damage yet?" Chen Xiaohui wanted to laugh, "Believe it or not, if they come today, people who want to poach your employees will kill you tomorrow." Report the matter of not recognizing your relatives.”
Ye Fan rubbed his forehead: "Not to mention that I have a good relationship with the city government, but just because of Dabao and his uncle, which newspaper would dare to publish this story?"
Chen Xiaohui was stunned.
Ye Fan sighed: "Only people with no background are afraid of being bullied. What am I afraid of? Chen Xiaohui, you are a child of a high-ranking cadre. Don't always feel that you are a small citizen every day. Otherwise, your daughter will be spoiled by the small family you raised!"
< br>
Tao Chunlan and Ye's father have been retired for many years, and they are no different from the old men and ladies in the park. Chen Xiaohui's job doesn't require her to deal with everything. After living in a simple environment for a long time, Chen Xiaohui regards herself as an ordinary person again.
Ye Fan saw her complex expression: "Although I said they exchanged you and me maliciously, there is no real evidence, everything is just speculation. They really want me to support them in old age, and I will ignore it even if they go to court. Why don't you come to me? My conscience found out, Don’t you have the face to see me? You have been in the Chen family for so many years. Are they so kind? Is it because they believe in their hearts that "the people do not fight against the government" and they are worried about harming their children and grandchildren? "They didn't dare to do it now unless they were poor and had no way to survive, and they were barefooted and not afraid of wearing shoes." .”
Chen Xiaohui couldn't help but nodded when she heard this.
Ye Fan said: "Two thousand yuan is a lot. If they have been laid off in the past two years and their lives are tight, they will definitely want more money when they see it. Four thousand yuan is enough for a family to last for a year and live well." They are not willing to fight to the death with me.”
Chen Xiaohui understood: "Then I will send it in the afternoon?"
"How do you send it with your child? I'll send you there." Ye Fan poured her a glass of water.
Chen Xiaohui drank the water and went out to wait for her.
At the post office, Chen Xiaohui asked someone to borrow a piece of paper, bought an envelope and stamps, and sent it together with the letter.
More than a month later, on Labor Day, Chen Xiaohui brought Liangliang and her daughter to Ye Fan's house to play, and told Ye Fan that the letter and the money had all disappeared.
Ye Fan sneered: "It's not surprising. Don't worry about it, just look for it. Anyway, I did what I promised. By the way, keep the receipt given to you by the post office."
Chen Xiaohui nodded: "Leave it in the study, I'm not afraid they won't recognize it in the future."
Ye Fan asked her to put the child on the ground: "Don't hold her all day long. This is not how we raise our ladies."
Geng Huihui happened to be here today, and she heard this and said, "Yes! You see, Erbao's skin is the same as that of Dabao. Who can say that she is not the daughter of a rich family? It mainly depends on her temperament and behavior."
Chen Xiaohui couldn't help but look at Geng Huihui.
Geng Huihui raised her chin: "Yes, me too!"
Yu Wentao passed behind her and was happy when he heard the words: "Is there anyone so boastful? Don't be ashamed!"
"Nai, what are you doing?" Geng Huihui watched her enter the house, "The house is shady and cool, let her sleep outside."
There is a child less than one year old in Yu Wentao's arms, who is Geng Huihui's daughter.
On the day the child was born, Yan Weining was disappointed. His mother went to the hospital to see Geng Huihui. He also complained that the ugly gene was strong.
His mother also heard the implicit words, and thought she was making him look ugly. He was so angry that his mother lectured his unfilial son in public. Geng Huihui thought that the old woman was dissatisfied with her because she gave birth to a daughter, but it was difficult to scold her directly, so she resorted to pointing fingers and scolding Huai.
Geng Huihui didn't hold back her anger. If she didn't scold her mother-in-law, she wouldn't scold her mother-in-law's own son.
Fortunately, his sister and sister-in-law didn't know the truth, so they comforted him that many people who had just given birth were a little abnormal, so they just had to tolerate it and it would be fine. Yan Weining was not rejected by Geng Huihui and collapsed.
When the child was full moon and full-grown, Geng's family came over. Geng Huihui's mother-in-law held the child in her arms and said to Ye Fan, "How can this not look good?" Then she scolded her son, not understanding anything.
Geng Huihui felt guilty and ashamed that day, and she did not dare to meet her old lady.
The child's nose, mouth and face look like her father's, very delicate. The eyebrows and eyes are like Geng Benben. As soon as Geng Huihui saw her daughter's eyebrows and hair, she wanted to shave them off because they were too thick and thick.
Once I mentioned this matter in a joking tone, Yu Wentao gave me a lesson, and I didn't dare to have such thoughts after that.
Yu Wentao didn't listen to her: "How can a child be left out in the sun? It's cold in the room, so put on a hat for her. Just make it thicker."
Geng Sensen came out of the backyard: "Nai, she doesn't know how to take care of children at all, don't listen to her."
Geng Huihui: "I won't take her without starving to death?"
Geng Sensen said: "Who knows, your mother-in-law often goes over to watch the nanny for one child and two."
Geng Huihui couldn't refute: "Isn't it me who will take charge now?"
Geng Sensen: "Whose arms is my little niece in? Let's see clearly before telling you!"
Ye Fan saw the child moving twice: "Keep your voice down, you two woke me up."
The child really woke up, and Yu Wentao gave her to Geng Huihui. Geng Huihui subconsciously asked: "Are you hungry or have you peed?"
