Chapter 290 Always with you

After a moment of silence, Chen Wanli slowly spoke: "Father, it's been so long since the matter has passed. It's probably useless to talk about these things now."

"Yes, it's really too late."

Chen Jianguo sighed lightly, nodded, and a look of guilt appeared, "Our Chen family owes them too much..."

Chen Wanli did not answer, which was also the pain in his heart.

But there was no way, under such a situation at that time, he had no choice.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, how are the birthday party ready?" Chen Jianguo waved his hand and asked.

"It has been prepared and invited all major families in Yanjing and celebrities from all walks of life to participate. At that time, the grand occasion will definitely be unprecedented." Chen Wanli replied immediately.

Chen Jianguo nodded slightly, but waved his hand helplessly and said, "I told you that there is no need to mobilize the masses like this. Just get together for a meal. I have to do it so grandly."

"Father, you have a high status, and this is such an important moment for your 80th birthday. You must naturally hold a big birthday party to show your identity."

Chen Wanli shook his head firmly and said solemnly: "What's more, this is also an opportunity to show the strength of my Chen family, so as not to make those so-called emerging families think that my Chen family is not as good as before."

Chen Jianguo was slightly stunned, sighed lightly, and said, "Wanli, your obsession with power is too deep."

"Father, you once taught me to regard the interests of the Chen family as everything. What I do now is for the Chen family." Chen Wanli replied.

"I said this."

Chen Jianguo did not deny it, nodded and said, "But even if you value family interests, you must not lose your original intention. If you continue like this, you will sooner or later take a detour."

Chen Wan's color changed slightly, and there was no answer.

He also knew that he was indeed extremely greedy for power, but how many people could be out of the mud without being stained by living in such a circle?

If he doesn't try his best to win all this, how can he be outstanding at this level now?

This world is the prey of the weak, and the winner is the king.

Everyone is hard to escape.

Chen Jianguo sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Wanli, go back and rest."

"Yes, father."

Chen Wanli nodded, without saying much, turned around and left the courtyard.

Watching Chen Wanli go far away, Chen Jianguo looked up at the distance, was silent for a long time, and slowly spoke: "It seems that my Chen family still has to rely on the profanity to support it..."

The reason why he agreed to hand over the position of the head of the family to Chen Wanli was because he liked his abilities.

There is no doubt that Chen Wanli is indeed the most capable of the five brothers and sisters of the Chen family. Even the eldest brother Chen Xun is still a certain gap compared with Chen Wanli.

As one of the four top families in Yanjing, the Chen family is powerful and has a strong foundation. If you want to manage such a huge family in an orderly manner, the most important thing is the ability of the head of the family.

Chen Wanli is indeed qualified to take on this great task.

But as time passed, Chen Jianguo gradually discovered that although Chen Wanli was capable, he was ambitious and always wanted to continue to strengthen the Chen family, and even used any means to do so.

If this continues, Chen Wanli is likely to go astray, and by then, it will also cause a fatal blow to the Chen family.

Chen Jianguo naturally didn't want to see Chen Wanli and the Chen family have something to do, so he kept persuading the latter, but unfortunately the effect was very little.

In Chen Jianguo's view now, there is only one person in the Chen family who is truly qualified to become the next head of the family.

Chen Bufan.

Although he had not seen Chen Bufan for more than ten years, his concern for Chen Bufan has not diminished in the slightest over the years, and he has been secretly sending people to investigate the news about Chen Bufan.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Jianguo realized that this ignorant child who proposed to go to the military camp after his mother passed away and cried, has now become the youngest dragon king in China in a century. He has made countless contributions to defending the majesty of China and is a legendary belief among the three armies!

He also knew that over the years, Chen Bufan's personality had not changed at all, and he would definitely do what he believed, as stubborn as he was when he was a child.

If such a person stays in the Chen family, it will be a big bosom for the Chen family. Even because of Chen Bufan's existence, the Chen family can really become the largest wealthy family in Yanjing in the future.

Unfortunately, he had already been expelled from the Chen family, and because of this incident, Chen Bufan's mother Liu Xu died.

Both sides have already stood opposite each other. How easy is it for him to want Chen Bufan to come back?

"When will the revenge be revenge..."

Chen Jianguo sighed, and a trace of sorrow appeared on his face, as if he had become much older in an instant.

He had experienced countless storms in his life, and the only thing he regretted was that he did not stop Chen Wanli and others' decisions at that time.

Otherwise, things would not have developed to this point today.

It’s a pity that there is no medicine for regret in the world, and everything is too late.

"Bufan, my grandson, I don't want you to return to the Chen family again. I just hope that you can still recognize me as an old man..."

Chen Jianguo murmured softly, his eyes full of anticipation.

...

Hotel, in the Presidential Suite.

After returning from the headquarters of the Wushu Association, Chen Bufan and Lin Xueyao had a casual meal in the hotel restaurant and returned to the room.

What made Chen Bufan quite helpless was that he did not expect that as soon as he left the Wushu Association, the news that he had become the vice president of the Wushu Association had already spread, and even when he was having a meal in the restaurant, he could hear others discussing this matter.

Are all the people in the Wushu Association so big?

He naturally didn't know that this news was actually sent by Xu Guan to spread it. The purpose was to let the entire Yanjing Capital know. From today on, Chen Bufan will be the second vice president of the Wushu Association.

If anyone wants to cause trouble for Chen Bufan in the future, he has to consider whether he has the courage to become enemies with the entire martial arts association.

In the living room, Chen Bufan leaned against the sofa, looking quite helpless. He originally wanted to be low-key when he came to Yanjing this time, but who knew that he had become the most famous person in Yanjing recently.

Sure enough, his strength does not allow him to keep a low profile...

"Vice President Chen, you are a big shot now, how do you feel?"

A gust of fragrant wind blew over, and Lin Xueyao came to Chen Bufan and teased with a smile.

Chen Bufan shook his head and said, "In contrast, I still like to be more low-key."

"Why, are you worried that you will become famous in the future and will attract many girls to like it. Can you not pick it up in a daze?" Lin Xueyao asked.

Chen Bufan pretended to have a surprised expression and said, "Xueyao, it's amazing, you can see this."

"What? Do you really think so?"

When Lin Xueyao heard this, she frowned and stared at Chen Bufan with cold eyes. A unique smile appeared on her pretty face, and she said, "Chen Bufan, are you itchy?"

Feeling the chill in Lin Xueyao's eyes, Chen Bufan couldn't help but shivered all over, shook his head like a rattle and said, "Xueyao, I just said casually, don't take it seriously, how could I be that kind of person? Besides, you are the goddess in my heart, how can other women compare to you?"

"real?"

"More than real gold."

Chen Bufan quickly raised his right hand and said with a serious look on his face: "I swear!"

Lin Xueyao nodded with satisfaction and said, "You can talk, I will let you go this time. If you dare to have such an idea in the future, see how I will teach you a lesson!"

"Xueyao, you are such a kind and understanding woman. Come and hug one."

After saying that, Chen Bufan rushed towards Lin Xueyao.

Lin Xueyao seemed to have noticed it, so she quickly stood up from the sofa. Chen Bufan threw himself in the air and lay on the sofa.

"Hug your sister, hooligan!"

Lin Xueyao glared at Chen Bufan and snorted angrily, thinking that this guy is getting more and more bold, and he knows to take advantage of her all day long.

The tigress doesn't show off his power, do you really think she is hellokitty?

Chen Bufan smiled helplessly and said, "Xueyao, you are too cruel, you can't even hug me."

"Yes, it's just not possible. If you really don't want to, go outside to find your little fan girl. When you tell me that you are the vice president of the Wushu Association, they might jump on you by themselves." Lin Xueyao curled her lips and said angrily.

"That's not possible. I have always been clean, how could I do such a thing?" Chen Bufan shook his head with a serious face.

"You? Be clean and clean?"

Lin Xueyao looked disdainful and hummed: "A man's mouth is a lie."

“…”

Chen Bufan was speechless. Can't this girl give him some face?

Lin Xueyao gave Chen Bufan a blank look, too lazy to bother him about this issue. She was silent for a moment and asked, "How long will your grandfather's birthday last?"

Chen Bufan was stunned, thought for a while, and said, "There are three days left."

"So quickly? Then why don't we hurry up and prepare the gift?" Lin Xueyao's pretty face changed. Although the relationship between Chen Bufan and the Chen family was like a fire, she also knew that Chen Bufan was extremely grateful to his grandfather.

If it weren't for this old man, Chen Bufan wouldn't have been where he is today.

Chen Bufan and his grandfather Chen Jianguo have been separated for so long, and it has not been seen for more than ten years. This is such an important moment for Chen Jianguo's 80th birthday. They should have prepared some gifts no matter what.

Chen Bufan smiled slightly and said, "Xueyao, don't worry, I'm ready long ago."

"What did you prepare? Why haven't you heard you say?" Lin Xueyao said in surprise.

Chen Bufan smiled mysteriously and said, "Keep it confidential for the time being, anyway, you just need to know that it is a priceless treasure."
