"Although Ke'er didn't live up to expectations, she is my own child after all. I can't give up on her until the last moment. It's also my fault that I was too indulgent to her before. After Ke Xin's birthday party this time, I have to discipline her well. "Chen Donghua said coldly.
"Well, you have to discipline him well." Chen Guodong nodded in agreement.
Chen Ke'er was forced by Mother Chen to rush back and forth in the hall. From time to time, she was forced to say hello to people. The little girl was so angry that her face was almost as red as a ripe apple.
Looking at the endless stream of guests, Chen Keer felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart: "My sister is so outstanding, and now she has found an equally outstanding boyfriend. Even if brother Chen Mo comes, I'm afraid it won't change anything!"
"Forget it, I'd better accept my fate! Who made me so unlucky to have such an outstanding sister? And she has the same birthday as my sister!"
Chen Ke'er was speechless and a little absent-minded, like a smiling puppet, repeating the smiling action mechanically.
After a while, Chen's mother said: "Ke'er, your classmates seem to be here, go and greet them over there! Are the two tables over there enough for you?"
Looking at the two tables in the corner, Chen Keer showed a wry smile. However, two tables are indeed enough, and there may be a lot of free space.
The venue was pretty much decorated. Today’s protagonist, Chen Kexin, slowly walked from the backstage to the hall, immediately attracting the attention of many people.
Chen Kexin is already beautiful, and she was even more carefully dressed today. Wearing a white princess dress, long black hair shawl, and a shining silver princess crown set with crystal diamonds on her head.
As soon as she appeared on the stage, she became the focus of everyone's attention. Many young boys had a burning look in their eyes.
"Is this the girl from the Chen family? She is indeed beautiful. No wonder Mr. Li is so obedient to her." A small family patriarch from Yanjing nodded in admiration.
"It's pretty good, and he's worthy of Mr. Li." Another person said.
Chen Guodong looked at Chen Kexin, who was calmly saluting everyone, with an old face full of admiration and a smile: "Donghua, you really gave birth to a good daughter!"
Chen Donghua said modestly: "My father praised me, but Kexin is still too young and has a lot of things to learn slowly."
Although he was being modest, the proud look on Chen Donghua's face could not be concealed at all.
Chen Mo's great grandfather Chen Guozhong sat in a corner with Chen Guoliang, looking at Chen Kexin with an appreciative smile on his face: "Second brother, you have a Chen Tong in your lineage, and the third brother has a Kexin in my lineage. I am the only one with this This lineage is full of guys who only know how to eat, drink and have fun but never live up to their expectations!"
Chen Guoliang said: "Brother, please don't say that. The girl named Chen Yue under Dongze's knees, isn't it said that she has been favored by the master? Once she succeeds in cultivation, she may become the protective umbrella of our Chen family in the future!" "
Chen Guozhong smiled and said: "How can those mysterious things be so easy to practice? But since the child likes it, let her go."
"Oh, that's not necessarily true. I think that kid Yue'er has a talent in this area. Maybe he can succeed in it?" Chen Guoliang said confidently.
"Haha, I hope so! If she succeeds in cultivation, even if our Chen family declines in the future, it won't be any worse!"
Chen Guozhong's unintentional words touched upon Chen Guozhong's conscience. He couldn't help but sigh: "The Chen family has been going downhill these years! I really don't know if we old guys will be able to shoulder the burden of the Chen family after they leave. ?”
Chen Guozhong realized that he had said something wrong and hurriedly said: "Second brother, you don't need to worry. Hasn't Dongshun already entered the provincial government? As long as you work hard and move up a little, you will definitely be able to carry the weight of the Chen family in the future!" "
Chen Guoliang said nothing. Now the only person in the Chen family who can take action is his own boss. But the position of the boss in the provincial department is mostly based on his face. If one day he is gone...
Chen Guoliang sighed and did not dare to continue thinking. And he couldn't tell these things. The Chen family was already in decline. If there was any bad news, many Chen family members would lose confidence in the family.
Once people's hearts are lost, the Chen family will soon decline.
For some reason, Chen Guoliang suddenly thought of his third son, Chen Jingye, who was far away in Hanyang.
"I wonder how the third child is doing now? By the way, Xiao Mo, the child of the third child, should be eighteen years old this year. He should come back to attend this year's annual meeting!"
"I haven't seen that child for several years. I wonder what the child looks like now?"
In fact, no one knows that what Chen Guoliang likes most is not the eldest son who has entered the provincial government. But this third son, who just wanted to make a living, went to a foreign country alone, without the help of his family, and started from the bottom step by step.
"It's a pity that the third child is too stubborn. If he could stay by my side to help me, the Chen family might be better off now." Chen Guo sighed inwardly.
Chen Keer stood in front of the two tables prepared by her parents for her, with several close classmates around her to celebrate her birthday.
Although Chen Ke'er wanted to smile and welcome these classmates, looking at the dazzling Chen Kexin, she couldn't smile no matter what.
Look at your sister, look at yourself, you are like a real ugly duckling and a white swan.
"Ke'er, why are you holding your birthday party with your sister this year?" A classmate asked in a low voice. Apparently, this classmate also noticed Chen Ke'er's embarrassment.
Chen Keer said with a helpless smile: "My mother insists on letting me and my sister hold it together. What can I do?"
Chen Keer's voice was full of grievance and helplessness. If she could, she would never hold a birthday party with her sister.
"That's it! It seems that Aunt Chen is a little partial!" This classmate felt aggrieved for Chen Ke'er, and it was simply inappropriate for Chen Ke'er and Chen Kexin's birthday parties to be held together.
It can be seen that Chen Keer is obviously not taken seriously at home.
Even an outsider could see that her parents were partial, and Chen Keer felt even more uncomfortable.
At this time, after Chen Kexin greeted the guests, she happened to walk over to Chen Ke'er. She glanced at Chen Ke'er who was standing there in a daze, frowned slightly, and walked over.
Chen Ke'er didn't notice it until Chen Kexin came to her side.
"Ke'er, why are you dazed? Why don't you greet your classmates?" There was a hint of reproach in Chen Kexin's tone.
Chen Keer came back to her senses and glanced at her radiant sister. When she looked at herself, she suddenly became even more lethargic.
However, Chen Kexin had some misunderstandings. She felt that Chen Keer was in a daze because of one person.
Chen Kexin whispered: "Are you still waiting for that boy Chen Mo? Don't be stupid, he is just teasing you, do you really think he will come?"
Chen Kexin glanced at the hall full of guests and sneered in a low voice: "Look at all the people who came today, that kid can only hold their own. Does he have the guts to come?"
