Chapter 316 Mother, I'm back home

Chen Family Ancestral Hall.

Chen Bufan came to an empty space and glanced around him. There were portraits hanging on the walls, with figures who had made great contributions to the prosperity of the Chen family and were respected.

Today, the Chen Family Ancestral Hall, which had been closed for a long time, was once again opened, and the so-called big shots were not loaded into it.

But an ordinary woman.

But in Chen Bufan's heart, no one in this world can be greater than her.

"Mother, I've taken you home."

Chen Bufan murmured and opened the portrait in his hand. It was the face of his mother Liuxu, which was painted by a master-level painter with superb skills. Every frown and smile was extremely similar to a real person.

In a trance, Chen Bufan seemed to have really seen his mother who had worked tirelessly to raise him.

Hanging the portrait on the wall in front of him, Chen Bufan did not rush to leave, but leaned against the wall and sat down.

His mind was filled with the past when he was young.

At that time, he and his mother were expelled from the Chen family and lived a displaced life.

In order not to let Chen Bufan endure the cold and starve, Liu Xu took all the pain on himself. Chen Bufan was young at that time and did not feel much touched, so he only knew to ask for it blindly.

And now, he finally understood that that woman had devoted her entire life to make him live well.

"Mother, I have done everything I promised you now. Don't worry, I will live well in the future and will not disappoint your expectations for me."

Chen Bufan looked up at the gentle woman in the portrait, slowly stretched out his right hand, stroked her cheek, and tears flashed involuntarily in his pupils.

A man doesn’t cry easily, but he hasn’t reached the sad place.

How could he not feel heartbroken when his closest relative passed away?

After sorting out his emotions, Chen Bufan seemed to have thought of something, smiled slightly, and said, "By the way, mother, I remember you once said that if you could see me find a good woman, you would be very happy. I have found her name now. Her name is Lin Xueyao. She is very good to me. I love her very much. I think you will be satisfied with this daughter-in-law."

"Actually, she is a bit similar to you."

When he said this, Chen Bufan couldn't help but look outside the door, and a smile appeared on his face.

In this huge Chen Family Ancestral Hall, Chen Bufan talked to himself for a long time, and realized that the time was almost over, so he finally stood up slowly and prepared to leave.

"Mother, I will come back to see you again in the future."

Chen Bufan bowed deeply to the portrait, stopped stopping, and turned around and left the ancestral hall.

After leaving the ancestral hall, Chen Bufan looked at him and saw Lin Xueyao and Chen Jianguo sitting together drinking tea and chatting. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.

"Baofan, come out."

Chen Jianguo also saw Chen Bufan and said with a smile.

"grandfather."

Chen Bufan nodded, came to the stone table, looked at Lin Xueyao, and asked, "Xueyao, what have you talked to grandpa?"

"It's nothing, it's just about talking about your childhood, such as wetting the bed when you were six or seven years old, and going out to shoot bird nests."

Lin Xueyao said with a smile on her face. She didn't expect that this guy was so naughty when he was a child.

Chen Bufan smiled helplessly, thinking to himself that the old man is really, so there is no need to talk about these dark history.

"Grandpa, it's getting late, so we're going back." Chen Bufan looked at Chen Jianguo and said.

Chen Jianguo was stunned, and his face showed a reluctance to leave, saying, "Don't you stay for a meal?"

"No need, if I stay for dinner, I'm afraid the atmosphere at the dinner table will be very strange." Chen Bufan shook his head.

He knew that after yesterday's incident, many people in the Chen family are extremely afraid of him. The reason why they are willing to let him enter the ancestral hall was because of Chen Jianguo's order. Otherwise, they would probably want to drive him out immediately.

If he really stayed for dinner, many people would probably not be able to eat.

Chen Jianguo also understood this truth, and couldn't help but sigh, remained silent for a moment, looked at Chen Bufan, and said, "Sun, can grandpa ask you a question?"

"Grandpa, please speak."

"If one day, my old bones can't hold on to it and the Chen family is in crisis again, will you stand on the side of the Chen family?" Chen Jianguo looked at Chen Bufan with great serious eyes, his pupils full of expectations.

Chen Bufan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Grandpa, don't talk nonsense. As long as you practice the Dragon Breath well, life is not a problem for a hundred years. How can something happen so easily?"

"I mean if, after all, how can there be no accidents in life?" Chen Jianguo shook his head with a serious expression.

Seeing this, Chen Bufan's face became extremely serious and said, "If the Chen family is in trouble, I will do my best to help."

In fact, from the beginning to the end, Chen Bufan was not targeting the Chen family, but some people from the Chen family.

In the final analysis, the blood of the Chen family flows in his body. When the Chen family is in crisis, he will naturally abandon past grudges and save them with all his might.

"Haha, grandson, I'll feel relieved if you say this."

A gratified smile appeared on Chen Jianguo's face, and he knew that he had not read the wrong person.

"Okay, you guys go back."

Chen Jianguo glanced at the two of them, and then said to Chen Bufan with a serious look on his face: "By the way, Bufan, Xueyao is a good girl. You have to treat her sincerely in the future. If you dare to bully her, see how I deal with you."

Chen Bufan was stunned. He didn't expect that Lin Xueyao and the old man would be in the same camp so soon. He smiled slightly, looked at Lin Xueyao, and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will treat Xueyao sincerely."

Chen Jianguo nodded with satisfaction, looked at Lin Xueyao, and said, "Xueyao, remember to see grandpa with this kid in the future."

"Grandpa, I can do it." Lin Xueyao nodded immediately.

"Haha, okay, go back." Chen Jianguo said with a smile.

Chen Bufan and Lin Xueyao nodded slightly, stopped stopping, turned around and left the backyard and walked out.

Watching the figures of the two people gradually drifting away, Chen Jianguo's expression fainted slightly and he murmured: "I just don't know if there is any chance to meet next time..."

Shortly after Chen Bufan and Lin Xueyao left, a figure appeared in the backyard.

It was Chen Wanli.

"Here you come."

Chen Jianguo, who was drinking tea, looked up and saw Chen Wanli appearing. He didn't seem surprised and said softly.

Chen Wanli nodded and said, "Father, I..."

"Go in and take a look." Chen Jianguo seemed to know what Chen Wanli was thinking.

"Thank you, my father."

Chen Wanli nodded, looked at the Chen Family Ancestral Hall in front of him, and hesitated for a moment, and walked slowly in.

Looking at Chen Wanli's back, Chen Jianguo couldn't help but sigh and murmured: "The father and son are actually both people who value love and friendship. They have gone to this point. Power is a great harm to people..."

Sometimes he even thought that if he hadn't done anything about the head election at that time, maybe Chen Wanli wouldn't have done that.

So now, their family should live in a harmonious life.

It’s a pity that there is no if in this world, and the past can never be changed.

...

Walking into the Chen Family Ancestral Hall, Chen Wanli looked at him and soon noticed the location of the willow catkins portrait.

He walked gently to the portrait, looked at the gentle figure in front of him, and felt as if he was touched by some kind of touch, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

A strong sense of guilt surged into my heart.

It turned out that after so many years, when he saw her, he still felt guilty, as if he had made a huge mistake.

He stared at the figure of Liu Xu on the portrait, and couldn't help but lift his right hand, trying to touch the latter's cheek.

But as soon as he was about to touch the portrait, he stopped, sighed softly, and finally put down his right hand.

Now, what qualifications are he qualified to do such a move?

"Xiao Xu, I was young at that time and I was so eager for status that I had made you and him wronged. Over the years, this has become a knot in my heart. I'm sorry, I haven't even seen you for the last time."

Chen Jianguo murmured softly, and one day more than ten years ago appeared in his mind, news came from outside that Liu Xu was seriously ill and might have been in a lifetime soon, so he would visit him.

However, at that time, it was the most critical period when he competed for the position of head of the family. After careful consideration, he finally refused and pretended that he had not heard the news.

It was precisely because of that incident that the father-son relationship between him and Chen Bufan was completely broken down and developed to an irreversible level now.

"I, am I really wrong..."

After a long silence, Chen Wanli sighed and shook his head, his expression dimly, as if he had become ten years older in an instant.

It’s a pity that there is no medicine for regret in the world, and there is no turning back when it is drawn. Now that things have come to this, he can only continue to move in the direction he chooses.

...

After leaving the Chen family, Chen Bufan and Lin Xueyao took a bus to the hotel.

"Xueyao, we have been in Yanjing for so many days. Let's go back to Binhai tomorrow."

Sitting in the back of the car, Chen Bufan said to Lin Xueyao beside him.

Lin Xueyao was staring at the scenery outside the window. When she heard Chen Bufan's words, a look of expectation appeared on her pretty face and asked, "Really?"

Chen Bufan nodded.
