In the same district of Jiangzhou City, Nan's father's community is not too far away from Zhou Chen and his family's residence. It takes about twenty minutes to drive there, so although it is almost noon, Zhou Chen is not in a hurry.
Open slowly.
Dad Nan's community is an old community with a history of more than 20 years. Because of its long history, there are no high-rise buildings. The highest ones are only four or five floors.
There is a parking space at the entrance of the community. Zhou Chen and the others happened to have a spot when they arrived and stopped smoothly.
Carrying a fruit basket bought on the road, a family of four walked into the community, turned two corners in a row, and suddenly an old man walked towards them.
Before Zhou Chen could react, Huanhuan and Chaochao cheered.
"Grandpa!" "Grandpa!"
"Huanhuan, super super!"
The old man was also happy and hugged the two children. The left one hurt and the right one was kissed, especially doting on them.
"dad."
Zhou Chen shouted after Nan Li.
"Oh, Lili."
Most of the old man's attention was focused on his children, and a small amount of his attention was on his daughter. As for Zhou Chen, he felt that he was being ignored.
Zhou Chen was looking at Nan Jianlong. If he didn't know the truth, who would have thought that this kind and kind old man with an amiable face would actually be a scumbag who cheated on his wife and abandoned his daughter.
"Let's go home."
Nan Jianlong led his two children towards his home. As soon as he arrived at the door of his home, he saw a woman about sixty years old coming up to her.
"Hello, Grandma Cai."
Huanhuan and Chaochao called out to Cai Juying, then pulled their grandfather Nan Jianlong and ran into the house.
"LiLi is here."
When Cai Juying saw Nan Li, she screamed happily, while Nan Li responded indifferently.
Cai Juying had long been accustomed to Nan Li's attitude and didn't care. Instead, she looked at Zhou Chen and said with a smile: "I'm here as soon as I come. What else do you have to bring?"
Zhou Chen didn't know what to call him, so he could only smile: "It should, it should."
Taking a look at Cai Juying, he found that this smiling woman was actually kind.
However, hooking up with a married man, becoming a mistress, and breaking up other people's families is a lifelong scandal, and it is really hard for people to respect you.
After entering the door, Cai Juying deliberately knelt down, took slippers for Nan Li, and placed them at Nan Li's feet with a smile on her face.
Perhaps because she felt a little embarrassed, Nan Li took the initiative to say thank you for the first time.
Seeing that no one was asking about him, Zhou Chen was really depressed. In the real world, he had never been married, so he didn't know what kind of treatment he would get when he went to his father-in-law's house.
But judging from the Nan family, his son-in-law's status seems not to be popular at all. Nan Jianlong just doesn't care. Even Cai Juying didn't greet him, so he could only take a pair of disposable slippers placed at the door and wear them.
superior.
But after putting on his slippers, he glanced around and found that there were three pairs of slippers, two large and one small. Different from the disposable slippers he and Nan Li had, these three pairs of slippers were slippers that were normally worn at home.
Zhou Chen's eyes flickered a few times. Generally speaking, he would not wear disposable slippers in his own home. Disposable slippers are usually worn by guests.
But here, Cai Juying prepared disposable slippers for the two of them, while she prepared daily slippers for Tian Yulan's family.
Obviously, Cai Juying, who looks very polite and kind, actually treats their family as guests and her biological daughter Tian Yulan's family as family.
This may not be Cai Juying's intention, but it just reflects her truest inner thoughts.
This is interesting.
If this family belongs to Cai Juying, then there is absolutely no problem in doing so, but this family belongs to Nan Jianlong, and Nan Li is Nan Jianlong's biological daughter, and Tian Yulan is the stepdaughter;
As a result, now when Nan Li returns home, she is treated as a guest, and her stepdaughter is treated as a family member.
Zhou Chen felt that he was overthinking and being too sensitive, but there was nothing he could do about it. Who told him to watch this TV series and know the complicated situation in it.
If you haven't seen it, that's fine. Now that you've seen it, how could you not think more about it?
However, the person involved, his wife Nan Li, didn't show anything, and Zhou Chen naturally wouldn't show it either.
After putting down the fruit, Zhou Chen just walked to the sofa when he heard Nan Jianlong praising Huanhuan.
Some genius, prodigy Gan Luo or the like, made Huan Huan so happy.
My father-in-law is indeed a man of culture, and everyone praises him for being so fresh and refined.
As he was talking, the door was opened, and then a woman's voice sounded.
"Here we come!"
Zhou Chen turned around and saw Yan Peng walking in. Next to Yan Peng were a woman and a boy.
The woman must be Tian Yulan. I have to say that Tian Yulan has a big frame and looks almost as tall as Yan Peng. She has short hair, a blue and white shirt, and a dark blue skirt. She looks a bit capable and carries a bit of personality.
Well gas by market.
The little boy looks about the same height as Huanhuan, so he must be Yan Ziyou.
Huanhuan and Chaochao happily ran from Grandpa Nan Jianlong's arms to the door, calling each other their aunt and uncle.
Huanhuan pulled Yan Ziyou and ran into the toy room, while Chaochao sweetly praised her aunt for her beauty and her uncle's handsomeness, making the two of them laugh.
Cai Juying came over with a fruit plate. Tian Yulan wanted to help, but Cai Juying pretended not to see it and put it directly in front of Nan Li.
"LiLi, eat some fruit."
Nan Li smiled and did not take action. On the contrary, Tian Yulan stood behind her with a somewhat ugly face because she couldn't stand the way her mother fawned over Nan Li.
Nan Jianlong asked: "Are the dishes ready?"
Cai Juying: "It's almost ready. You can eat it anytime."
When Nan Jianlong heard this, he stood up immediately: "What are you waiting for? The food is served, the food is served."
Just as Nan Li was about to stand up, she was pushed down by Nan Jianlong, and then waved to Zhou Chen and Yan Peng: "There are a lot of dishes today, you two come over and serve them."
Zhou Chen clapped his hands, stood up, and went to the kitchen with Yan Peng.
When I walked into the kitchen, I saw that there were indeed a lot of dishes. There were a bunch of them in the kitchen, at least a dozen.
It has to be said that Cai Juying has the ability to serve others, otherwise, Nan Jianlong would not have been allowed to abandon his wife and daughter and marry her.
When the dishes were served, Zhou Chen saw the painting on the round table at a glance. He remembered clearly that it was the painting Huanhuan painted in his painting class.
Originally he didn't want to mention this, but as soon as he put down the dishes, Nan Jianlong pulled him, pointed at the turntable table and asked: "Junshan, come and take a look, are you familiar with it?"
Zhou Chen could only follow his wishes: "Isn't this Huanhuan's painting?"
"It's true, Huanhuan painted this."
Yan Peng lay on the table and looked at it curiously, but the next moment, his expression changed.
Nan Jianlong pointed at the painting and said with a smile: "This is grandpa's favorite."
Zhou Chen glanced at Yan Peng and felt helpless. He had not been in this world for a long time. Apart from Nan Li and the others, he had the most contact with Yan Peng. This guy often chatted with him about the plot of novels at night. He was a person worth getting to know deeply.
friend.
However, Yan Peng was simple-minded, so he quickly got over this discomfort, and instead took the initiative to chat with Zhou Chen about novels.
"Brother, your novel will be on the shelves soon, right?"
"Well, it's getting ready to be put on the shelves."
"That's a great relationship. I've been chasing it lately. Brother, I really admire you more and more. You said why your writing is so good, but it's just a bit... haha, listen to the music."
Yan Peng winked at Zhou Chen.
Nan Jianlong, who was walking by, heard this and asked in surprise: "Junshan, do you still write novels?"
Zhou Chen replied: "If you have nothing to do, just write whatever you want."
Nan Jianlong didn't pay too much attention, and just said: "It's okay to write if you have nothing to do, but don't delay your work."
"How is that possible? Dad, don't worry, I will use my free time to write."
Yan Peng said with a bad smile: "Uncle Nan, you don't know that our brother usually seems to be a serious and honest man, but the novel he wrote is called..."
"Okay, Yan Peng, don't stir up trouble here."
Zhou Chen quickly stopped Yan Peng. This guy was talkative and could say anything. The novels he wrote would definitely be looked down upon by people of the older generation like Nan Jianlong.
"Okay, I won't say any more, but brother, you have to be faster. It's too uncomfortable to catch up on the update."
"Okay, I get it."
While they were serving food and chatting, Nan Li and Tian Yulan, who were in the living room, also began to fight openly and secretly, sarcastically and taunting each other. The two adults were not doing anything, but Huanhuan and Yan Ziyou were left alone.
