Chapter 40

"It's time to eat." The aunt brought the food to the dining table, and did not look for anyone on the left and right, and called out, "Tongtong?"

"Hey, here it's here."

When the aunt saw Kang Tong poking her head out from behind the sofa, she still held the kitten in her arms, she said helplessly: "Put down the cat, and play with the cat after dinner."

Kang Tong responded, "I understand", looked at the kitten in his arms, sat on the floor and touched the kitten's head, and then reluctantly put the kitten down.

"Go and wash your hands first." The aunt reminded him.

After washing his hands, Kang Tong sat down at the dining table. He picked up the chopsticks and couldn't help asking his aunt: "Auntie, has Dad called today?"

Kang Tong has a sensitive personality and is good at observing words and expressions. He can see the result from his aunt's hesitant expression. He didn't speak anymore and started eating quietly.

He hasn't seen his father for a long time. Every time he calls, Uncle Lin answers the call. When asked about Lian Jue, he says he is busy, and he doesn't have much time to call him to disturb him.

He is about to have a final exam, and there will be a parent meeting after the exam. The teacher said that all parents will attend this parent meeting. In addition to communicating performance at school, there are also summer camp matters to be said. But... Lian Jue should not have time to go, and he may also go to Uncle Lin or someone else.

The aunt has been staying at home since Kang Tong came to Lian’s house, and treating him is no different from treating him. She knows that Lian Jue is always busy, but no matter how busy she is, she has never been able to see anyone for almost two months. When she saw Kang Tong’s appearance, she couldn’t help but feel sour, and her heartache and pity were mixed together, and she couldn’t help but recall what Lian Jue said to him before leaving home last time.

“There may be another child in the family next year.”

So do you want this child? Then why did you get it back then?

The aunt knew that her thoughts exceeded her duty, but she really couldn't understand Lian Jue's approach, so she couldn't help but complain.

So when Lin Chen came to deliver food and clothing on behalf of Lian Jue that night, the aunt called Lin Chen to the door, and her tone was filled with resentment: "What's wrong with Mr. Lian? You can't just leave Tongtong behind after having your own child, right?"

Lin Chen is often able to maintain his usual professionalism and standards when facing official business, but he is really not good at dealing with such trivial matters, so he had to say staggeringly: "Mr. Lian is too busy recently and can't get out of the way..."

"You always tell me that he is busy. I know he is busy, but you can't be so busy that you don't even have time to go home for a meal, right?" The aunt knew that she shouldn't make things difficult for outsiders, but out of feeling sorry for Kang Tong, her tone became heavier unconsciously, and she muttered half complaining and half blame, "If you can't come back, you have time to buy a cat and send it..."

"This..." Lin Chen was speechless by her. Because Lian Jue had told him not to tell Kang Tong, he had to lie to protect him, "Don't Mr. Lian want the cat to accompany the young master?"

"Forget it, I can't care about all of you. What's going on with the child that the gentleman said? Why did he suddenly... he didn't plan to tell Tongtong? Or wait until the child is born?" the aunt asked in a low voice with a frown.

Lin Chen didn't know Lian Jue's thoughts, so he didn't answer for a long time. He said for a long time: "Let's decide when Mr. Lian comes back."

After seeing Lin Chen off, the aunt sighed deeply and closed the door.

Turning around, Kang Tong was sitting behind the cabinet in the entrance hall with his kitten in his arms. The cat stretched his claws and pulled the ball of pomrose from his hoodie. He bit his lip, looked at his aunt and asked, "...Dad you want your own child?"

The lawyer needed to confirm too much with Lian Jue, so he went to the detention center again to meet.

Lin Chen was waiting aside, and when they finished their conversation, he thought it was necessary to tell Lian Jue that Chen Xu had gone to Chen Tingwei's house to make things difficult.

He repeated the matter one by one, Lian Jue listened quietly, his expression still. Only when Lin Chen said, "When I arrived with the lawyer, Mr. Chen was pushed down at the door of the villa by the people brought by Chen Xu", a trace of extremely insignificant displeasure flashed in his eyes.

"How is the person?" Lian Jue interrupted halfway.

Lin Chen paused for a moment and replied: "Mr. Chen's health is not serious."

Lian Jue said "Yeah", and after a while, he said, "Switch everything he touched."

Lin Chen was stunned: "But Mr. Chen said..."

Lian Jue had no obvious emotion in his tone, but he insisted on saying, "Switch."

Lin Chen had no choice but to nod: "I'll do it in a while."

"...In addition, Mr. Lian." Lin Chen suddenly called him in a disagreeable tone, as if he didn't know whether he should say the next words.

Rear your head.

Lin Chen had a psychological struggle for about a while and said to Lian Jue: "When Chen Xu left, he said..."

Lian Jue couldn't stand the people around him talking hesitantly, so he asked impatiently: "What are you saying?"

"He said you-" Lin Chen paused and consciously deleted the insulting words in Chen Xu's words. "In short, he saw Mr. Chen and a lady spend the night in Changqing Mountain, and he looked very close."

Lin Chen did not tell Lian Jue. Chen Xu's original words after learning that he gave the property to Chen Ting were actually: "Lian Jue is really affectionate. If he knew that he had just been in for two days, his 'legitimate partner' would have traveled with his newly found lover. I wonder if he could still be as self-righteous as in the past."

"Yes." Lian Jue didn't show any abnormality and asked him, "What else is there."

Lin Chen looked at Lian Jue. There was no emotion on his face, but Lin Chen felt a little lowered out of thin air. He did not continue this topic and instead said: "The property under your name has been temporarily frozen. The factory is also under investigation and is forced to shut down. The goods cannot be sent out on time. Mr. Alex called a lot." He quickly glanced at Lian Jue, "He was very angry. He said that if he could not get the goods at the end of this month, he would go through judicial procedures and sue you."

Lian Jue's eyebrows frowned slightly and said, "I understand."

Lin Chen went to Chen Tingwei in the afternoon. He didn't know what furniture Chen Xu had used or touched anything, so he simply asked someone to carry away all the furniture ornaments in the living room and planned to change it again.

Chen Ting didn't feel that his psychological cleanliness has not reached such a serious point, so he said to Lin Chen: "There is no need to be so troublesome..."

"It's Mr. Lian's meaning." Lin Chen said.

Chen Tingwei had no choice but to say: "Okay."

In that case, he walked to the kitchen and took them to deal with the casserole for making soup and a few bowls and spoons that were not clear: "Then change these."

——Lin Chen said that when he entered the door that day, Chen Xu was sitting on the sofa drinking chicken soup that Chen Ting had cooked on low heat for two hours.

Although this house has now been under the name of Chen Tingwei, he has no sense of being the owner at all, so he simply asked Lin Chen's people to choose the furniture, and they all know the taste of Lian Jue.

He chose the casserole and tableware by himself. Lin Chen drove him to a high-end furniture city located in the city. He went to the underground mall to select kitchen utensils, while Lin Chen and his group went upstairs to buy furniture.

It hurts a little when paying. Even though he knows that his bank card now has a range of zeros that he needs to concentrate on counting clearly.

After he bought the goods, he called Lin Chen. Lin Chen said on the phone that it might take some time for them, and Chen Tingwei found a small shop and had dinner alone.

It was already very late to return to the villa. Lin Chen brought people to carry the furniture in one by one and arranged it neatly according to Chen Tingwei's wishes. It was inconvenient to disturb Chen Tingwei's rest and he was about to leave soon.

Chen Ting had not sent them to the door, but after thinking about it, he suddenly called Lin Chen.

Lin Chen stopped and asked him: "What's wrong?"

"Well... Is the injury on Mr. Lian's face okay?" Chen Ting didn't expect that he had seen Lian Jue today, so he asked a little worriedly.

He was not able to believe Lian Jue's words. He thought Lian Jue would not seem to do something as he said, "I accidentally touched it", like he did something stupid himself. He was not sure whether there was absolutely justice in this world, at least in the world where he was once in the world, there were news incidents where prisoners were lynched while they were detained.

"The wound on Mr. Lian's face has healed." Lin Chen seemed to remember what he said to Lian Jue during his last visit. He saw through his concerns, so he added, "... there are no new injuries in other places." He did not remind him that he is now a rule of law society like Lian Jue, and only said, "You can rest assured that General Lian's personal safety during his detention."

Seeing that he answered sincerely, Chen Ting nodded and said thank you.

After they left, Chen Ting had not closed the door and returned to the living room to look around.

I planned to sort it out, but when I looked at the brand new house in front of me, I suddenly lost my motivation.

He suddenly felt tired, as if he was always adapting to the environment.
