Broken Heart

Laughter could be heard not far from the window, several annex buildings were brightly lit, and the huge private garden looked particularly empty at night.

The Chen family's mansion was first built by Chen Kailai. It has three floors excluding the attic. The third floor is Chen Jintian's room and large study room, as well as a work room, a reading room and a playroom where the Chen brothers and sisters used to play when they were children.

On the second floor are the bedrooms, study rooms, and several guest rooms for the three brothers and sisters. There is a living room on the left end for private receptions.

The first floor is the living room, dining room, bar, kitchen and two swimming pools, one indoors and one outdoor.

A tennis court has also been built in the garden, and there is another small building in the side yard. It used to be a tea room and entertainment room, but now it has been converted into a dozen workers' rooms.

In the distance is a large botanical garden and a grove where various rare herbs are grown.

The first underground floor is a 3D private cinema, gym and wine room. Further down is the storage room and garage.

After Chen Ran finished shaving, the servant came to dry his hair again. When the sound of the hair dryer stopped, Chen Ran said, "Mom, don't worry about it."

Mother Chen looked at her son and couldn't bear it, and then explained: "Last year, I had a few businesses with the government, and you are aware of the delay in payment. In addition, some famous doctors' monthly salaries are not low, and there are many

The patients can't pay, the bad debts and bad debts can't be settled, and the turnover is very tight. If you really need money, mom will find a way for you."

"No need." Chen Ran refused simply, "You sold the private club in Jiangcheng District. In addition to contacting clients and holding a few parties every year, it remains empty for most of the year. You are losing money by keeping it. You still have to hire people.

People take care of it.”

Chen's mother said, "It's not bad at all. Let's keep it. There is a lot of room for appreciation in that area and the environment is good. Whether it is rented or resold in the future, it will definitely increase several times. Besides, there is such a big news about selling the house. Looking outside,

I don’t know how to organize our family.”

Chen Ran thought for a while and said "Yeah" in a cooperative manner. The family was not in a state of selling the house. He could save him by just drawing some money from anywhere. What he said was so mysterious was just a collusion between his father and his mother.

His excuse for returning to court.

Chen's mother added: "You are alone in the south. If there is a good girl, you should pay attention to it. It doesn't mean that you have to marry a girl here. Sometimes emotional matters really depend on fate."

Chen Ran nodded and said nothing.

Chen's mother didn't actually care much about her son's tinkering with software. She was concerned about Chen Ran's marriage.

Chen's mother added, "You are not young anymore. You are already twenty-six years old. You should also consider starting a family. You who work in software and finance generally get married late and are busy every day. Mom can't say anything. I just hope that you will

If you can get some snacks, think about it."

"I know," Chen Ran replied, "I will naturally consider these things when the Crystal Stone regains its strength."

Mother Chen: "."

Having said so much, it felt like a waste of words, and Mother Chen felt tired.

Chen Ran spent a lot of time with his grandfather and uncle since he was a child. Chen Kailai was stubborn by nature, and Chen Ran's exposure to him and his temperament were somewhat influenced by his personality.

As the saying goes, "Do what you want and don't go beyond the rules." No one will trouble an old man, especially an old man who doesn't hear what's going on outside the window.

Chen Ran also developed this stubborn temper.

Mother Chen knows that her son has always been soft-spoken and not tough-talking, so it's useless to say that his mouth is like a marshmallow.

"Go to bed early." Mother Chen said, "I will stay here for a few more days when I come back."

Chen Ran said "hmm" and had no plans to stay longer.

When Chen's mother was about to leave, she thought for a while and said: "Back then, your father was often ignored by your grandfather because he didn't like software. It's not easy for him to achieve what he has today because of many ups and downs. You have to understand him."

.”

Chen Ran lowered his head and said nothing. His mother was probably instigated by his father to come here as a lobbyist.

Chen's mother continued: "Logically speaking, we don't understand much about the software industry. As long as you are sure to achieve results, we will naturally support you. Your father is just afraid that spending money will cause you to keep holding the crystal stone to survive."

, there is no end.”

"Ah Ran, your father said this today for your own good. Your grandfather made that V, and it has achieved nothing in his whole life. He has wasted money in vain. He is afraid that you will take too many detours and step back from you.

Following in the footsteps of grandpa.”

Chen Ran's ears were numb when he heard this topic, and he was really tired.

"Grandpa, what they did is very honorable," Chen Ran defended loudly, and then fell silent.

It seems to be extremely difficult to change my parents' prejudice on this matter.

Chen Ran raised his head and glanced at his mother. Mother Chen could tell from her son's eyes that it was a small chance that she could change her son's determination to rebuild the crystal stone with just a few words of persuasion, so she calmed down and said, "I'll give it to you again."

Just think of a way and don't be too anxious."

The next morning, Chen Ran woke up very late, and when he opened his eyes, it was already bright outside.

He continued to lie on the bed for a while, until the servant asked him about breakfast outside the door, and then he slowly got up and packed himself.

After breakfast, Chen Ran went to visit Chen Kailai again. After chatting with him for a while, he slowly strolled to an annex building behind the residence.

I heard a piece of melodious music coming from a distance.

Still in this classical style, Chen Ran's lips curled up slightly, his cousin's preference for music really remained unchanged.

Go into the annex building.

Her unmarried cousin He Qiulin, who is in her thirties, is sitting in her studio, turning a clay pot that is being formed in her hand. There is a small speaker beside her, playing a piece of classical music.

Chen Ran sat down opposite her and watched her carefully shape a slender neck out of the clay pot.

He Qiulin has the best relationship with Chen Ran among the relatives of the Chen family, and is also the only woman who has been in love with both Chen Jinshan and Chen Huan.

Thinking about it carefully, Chen Ran also found it quite amazing that one of his uncles and one of his brothers would actually fall in love with He Qiulin.

He Qiulin was once called Chen Qiulin. At that time, a cousin of Chen Ran's mother married a biologist, and the couple traveled around Southeast Asia and South America all year round in order to study microorganisms in tropical rainforests.

The couple, who were obsessed with academic research, did not originally plan to have children. As they grew older day by day, and finally approaching the age of forty, they suddenly regretted their plan to have a child to inherit their excellent IQ.

After she was born, she was overwhelmed by the torment, so she gave this burden to the Chen family and changed her name to Chen Qiulin. Chen Jintian helped raise the girl.

Chen Qiulin and Chen Ran lived together as siblings for a period of time.

Until later, Chen Qiulin's biological parents died in a plane crash to Colombia, so she changed her surname back to her surname, inherited the family business, and began to study ancient architecture after graduation.

The He family is not rich, but they have many weird antiques. He Qiulin has a wide range of hobbies and has traveled all over the world. In addition to her love of studying the historical buildings of various countries, she spends the rest of her time making pottery in the studio.

When I had almost spent the money, I selected an antique that was not too old among a bunch of various antiques and took it to the auction house for auction.

Chen Jintian occasionally saw the He family's antiques at auctions. He was so angry that he went to great lengths to buy the antiques back.
