The meal was extremely unpleasant. Several people looked unhappy.

Chen Ye only took a few bites. He found it hard to swallow the food of these people.

Chen Jinguang insisted that he was still the elder and asked Chen Ye to choose the tomb, saying that he was not worthy of being a son if he could not even build a tomb for his parents.

Even Uncle Li and Chen Chen tried to persuade her.

In order to let him leave earlier, Chen Ye had to agree perfunctorily. Then Chen Jinguang regained his loving face and gave earnest advice. He also told her not to be too sad.

The atmosphere had recovered somewhat, and it was no longer tense. However, Chen Ye still looked distant, without any intention of getting close to him.

Before Chen Yuan left, she saw her brand-name bag casually thrown on the cabinet at the entrance, and couldn't help but approach her and ask, "Sister Ye, did you bring me a bag when you came back this time?"

Chen Ye recalled that he had always responded to her requests. Every time he came back, in addition to the gifts his mother had prepared for her, he would specifically ask her what she wanted and then bring her something extra.

When he thought of this, Chen Ye wanted to slap himself a few times. Not only was his heart blind, but his eyes were blind as well.

"No, I'm in a hurry to get back."

Chen Yuan seemed to not notice the coldness on her face, and said tenderly, "Bad sister, remember to bring it back for me next time."

Chen Ye didn't reply and watched them leave with an expressionless face.

After they left, Uncle Li came over immediately and said, "Miss, I have not told Mayor Chen's family anything about the things you asked me to buy."

"I know." Chen Ye nodded. "Don't think about it. After all, some of the channels were introduced by him. There's no guarantee that they won't share information with each other."

Chen Chen sat down next to her and asked, "Sister, why don't you want to choose a burial site for our parents?"

Chen Ye glanced at him, then looked at Uncle Li, "It's not that I don't want to choose, I'll talk about it after a while, when I'm done with this."

Chen Ye did not explain to Chen Chen and Uncle Li that she had become very cold towards Chen Jinguang's family. She just said perfunctorily: "I don't like them spending our family's money while acting like a nuisance."

Uncle Li recalled the way Zhu Meiling walked around the house with a gleam in her eyes, mocking him in a sarcastic tone.

When the Chen Jinguang family returned home and sat down, Chen Yuan said unhappily, "Sister Ye's bag today is obviously new, but she didn't bring me one."

Chen Xing recalled Chen Ye's expressionless and indifferent look before he left, and sat down next to Wang Yao. He also recalled that he had asked her not to sell the house, and wondered if Chen Ye was unhappy.

Zhu Meiling handed Chen Jinguang a cup of tea, looked at his face, and sighed softly. "Xiao Ye has grown up after all. There are some things she may not want us to interfere with. Her attitude today is really a bit disrespectful to you."

Before Chen Jinguang could say anything, Chen Yuan almost jumped up. "Not a little bit, but she just doesn't take dad seriously at all. After Second Uncle left, she treated herself as an elder."

In the past, Chen Yuan had almost always had her requests granted by Chen Ye, and all kinds of luxury goods gave her vanity great satisfaction.

Chen Yuan was spoiled at home since she was a child. Her father's high position in the government brought her various conveniences, and her second uncle provided her with money, which allowed her to do whatever she wanted and never suffered any setbacks. Even if she encountered something that she couldn't solve, there would naturally be various resources and channels to secretly support her.

The first time she hit a snag with Chen Ye, her self-esteem felt like being slapped in the face, and her heart felt as if being burned by a fire.

"Xiao Ye also said that he wanted to sell the house and shop," Zhu Meiling said as she tried to guess what her husband meant. Seeing that there was no expression on his face, she looked around the house again.

Their house was built in the late 90s, and its decoration and interior are all old styles. Chen Jinguan's family bought it by scraping together money when he had just entered politics.

After so many years, Chen Jinguang's position has become higher and higher, and he has become more and more cautious. He has never thought about changing houses, nor has he accepted Chen Jinyan's intention to buy a house for him.

But when Chen Xing got married, Chen Jinyan bought a small house in a newly built community next door and gave it to him as a wedding house.

Halfway through her words, Zhu Meiling saw that Chen Jinguang's face was slightly angry, and immediately added: "Our ancestors always emphasized the word 'roots'. If we sell the house now, we will lose all our roots. If my uncle and sister-in-law were still alive, they would not agree."

Sure enough, the anger on Chen Jinguang's face slowly faded away.

Before Zhu Meiling could relax, Chen Yuan yelled, "Why sell it? Can't she let us live there? She doesn't need money."

She stood up again, ran to Chen Jinguang, took his arm and shook it, "Dad, my brother has a house, I want one too. Also, I want to change my car, my classmates all laugh at me for driving a shabby Volkswagen."

Chen Jinguang glanced at her and said, "Let's talk about it after graduation."

"It's not like we don't have money. Why can't we buy it?"

Zhu Meiling pulled her over and said, "Don't make trouble. Your father is going to run for mayor soon. Don't cause trouble at this critical moment."

Chen Yuan's eyes turned, and she really listened to him. She stopped making trouble immediately.

Although there is only one word difference between the mayor and the deputy mayor, the twists and turns involved, and the clash of power and work alone, are all a contest of background, means and connections.

Even though Chen Jinguang no longer has the financial support of Chen Jinyan, who among those who sit in his position is not a shrewd person?

The reason why he didn't want to have a falling out with Chen Ye, besides the blood relationship, was mainly because Chen Ye had inherited Chen Jinyan's property, and Chen Chen's intention was that he had no say and had to obey Chen Ye's arrangements in everything.

In the past, Chen Jinyan would have provided financial convenience at this time. Chen Jinyan played an indispensable role in Chen Jinguang's political struggle.

This time he was anxious to get Chen Ye back, firstly because Chen Jinyan and his wife really needed to choose a burial site, and secondly, he had not yet figured out how to mention this matter to Chen Ye.

Unexpectedly, the situation was a little beyond his expectations when they met.

He originally thought that since Chen Ye had been with Chen Jinyan, she would more or less hear her father talk about the mutual support between the two families, and he also thought that she should also enter the world and understand the ways of the world.

After hearing Zhang Chusheng mention that Uncle Li was looking for suppliers to buy a large number of items, I wanted to start with this matter and wonder if she wanted to develop some other business in China.

Thus, he gave her various support resources. With his support, why worry about failure?

But I didn't expect that before the matter was even started, Chen Ye's attitude was obviously impatient, even hateful?!

Chen Jinguang has been wondering where this hatred came from?

Uncle Li had just started his shopping when Zhu Meiling interrupted him.

Although Chen Ye's reaction at that time was indeed quite surprising, Chen Jinguang could never understand the look in her eyes when she turned around and looked at Uncle Li.

Things seemed a little out of his control.
