It's late at night.
The two cars drove into the red-walled compound one after another, and then after several inspections, they arrived at the entrance of a small courtyard deep in the compound.
The car stopped, and Zhao Qi and Zhao Tianming got out of an inconspicuous Hongqi car.
Zhao Tianming's father, Zhao Rui, got out of an Audi A6 with a special license plate.
"Brother, what's going on with the old man?"
After Zhao Rui got out of the car, he asked Zhao Qi.
"I don't know. He just called Tianming and asked Tianming to inform us."
Zhao Qi shook his head.
"It looks like the old man is going to be furious tonight."
Zhao Rui frowned, his expression slightly solemn.
As the second eldest son of the Zhao family, he is known as the flag-bearer of this generation of the Zhao family, with the most prominent position and status.
After hearing the conversation between the two of them, Zhao Tianming, who never showed his emotions or anger on his face, was a little panicked.
He wanted to say something to his father Zhao Rui, but before he could say anything, Zhao Rui took the lead and walked into the courtyard first.
The study room in the small courtyard has lights on.
The old man of the Zhao family did not sit at the desk and review documents as usual. Instead, he stood by the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the old crooked-neck tree in the yard, not knowing what he was thinking.
Then, he saw Zhao Rui, Zhao Qi, and Zhao Tianming coming to the door of the study. They still did not sit back at the desk. Instead, they waited for the knock on the door and said two words lightly:
"Come in."
"dad."
"grandfather."
Zhao Rui, Zhao Qi and Zhao Tianming entered the study and greeted the elderly Zhao family one after another.
"The rules of the Zhao family are that future generations only have two chances to make mistakes. Zhao Tianming has already made mistakes twice, but he did not repent and made another mistake today."
The old man from the Zhao family was still standing in front of the window, with his back to the three of them, speaking word by word.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa, fate was wrong!"
Zhao Tianming immediately admitted his mistake, the panic on his face became more obvious, and even his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Not long ago, I asked you to kneel in the courtyard and think about the four words "greatest of the country". Is this how you think?"
The old man from the Zhao family turned around and stared at Zhao Tianming coldly, with an expression of hatred for steel.
"Plop!"
Zhao Tianming was so frightened that his legs weakened and he fell to his knees directly, "Grandpa, I was wrong!"
"Dad, I was also wrong about destiny."
Zhao Rui also bowed his head and took the initiative to admit his mistake.
"The son's fault is the father's responsibility. Zhao Rui, you have a great responsibility!"
The old man from the Zhao family said word by word:
"You two, father and son, go kneel in the yard together tonight and reflect deeply."
"yes!!"
"Thank you grandpa!"
Zhao Rui and Zhao Tianming, father and son, spoke one after another, and they both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The old man of the Zhao family asked them to kneel, which was equivalent to giving Zhao Tianming another chance.
"Zhao Tianming, you will go to work at the grassroots level in the west tomorrow. Unless it is a major emergency, you are not allowed to return to Beijing. This is your last chance!"
As expected, the words of the old man of the Zhao family confirmed their judgment.
"Yes, Grandpa!"
Zhao Tianming was dripping with cold sweat and responded quickly.
Although going to the west to train at the grassroots level is a very bad option for him as a prince, but now, how can he dare to have an opinion?
"Zhao Qi, you, the leader of the Dragon Guard, hang around that young man from the Chen family all day long. Is your job just to keep an eye on him?"
After Zhao Rui and Zhao Tianming left, the old man from the Zhao family glanced at Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi's expression changed and he quickly explained:
"Dad, I'm worried that Chen Ye and the King Chen Ye behind him will cause trouble in Yanjing City!"
"Then tell me, did they cause trouble in Yanjing City with their force?"
The old man from the Zhao family asked coldly.
"Dad, I was wrong, let me reflect on it."
Zhao Qi immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
"Your mistake is not that serious."
The old man of the Zhao family angrily said: "There are a bunch of moths in your wife's house, your daughter knew the law and broke the law and lost her life, and your son-in-law became the shame of the Xia Kingdom and escaped from the Xia Kingdom! Have you ever reflected on these things? Without your connivance, they Can you make it this far?? The Zhao family has disgraced you!!"
Zhao Qi's face turned pale and he did not dare to say a word.
"From now on, if I know that you are secretly involved with Tianming, you will stop being the leader of the Dragon Guard!"
The old man of the Zhao family said coldly.
"yes!"
Zhao Qi was so frightened that he trembled all over and quickly accepted the order.
"go out!"
The old man from the Zhao family ended the conversation with these two words, turned around, and stood in front of the window again.
Zhao Qi left the study room silently.
This night.
The old man of the Zhao family sat in the study all night.
Zhao Rui, Zhao Tianming and his son knelt under the crooked-neck tree in the yard all night.
the next morning.
The assets of the Prince Club were seized, and Zhao Tianming, the president, was transferred to a poor area in the west.
The illegitimate son of the Chen family, single-handedly made the Prince Club, the holy temple in the hearts of the powerful children of the Xia Kingdom, completely removed from the Xia Kingdom!
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a storm in the Xia Kingdom's elite circle!
Jiangning.
In a villa in the family courtyard of Jiangning Courtyard.
"Honey, I just heard that the Prince Club was disbanded and Zhao Tianming was transferred from Yanjing to work in a poor area in the west, but his position was not promoted. Is this true?"
Xu Qi, the eldest daughter of the Xu family, received the news after getting up and asked Chen Yu in shock.
"Um."
As the eldest son of the Chen family, Chen Yu nodded slightly.
"I also heard that the Prince Club was disbanded because of that bastard Chen Ye. Is this true?"
Xu Qi asked again.
Not long ago, during Chen Ye's trip to Jiangning, in order to stand up for Zhu Yeqing, he taught Xu Qi a lesson and even smashed the door of the Xu family's ancestral home, severely humiliating the Xu family.
This made Xu Qi and the Xu family hate Chen Ye to the core!
"yes."
Chen Yu looked ugly.
Growing up, the Xia Kingdom's elite circle compared him with Zhao Tianming.
He has always acted as Zhao Tianming's green leaf, setting off Zhao Tianming's excellence.
Now that Zhao Tianming has encountered Waterloo, Chen Yu should be happy.
But he couldn't be happy.
Because, all this has nothing to do with him, it was Chen Ye who did it!
"How did that bastard Chen Ye do it?"
Xu Qi looked incredulous.
At the beginning, after Chen Ye's trip to Jiangning, Chen Yu had vowed that with Chen Ye's behavior, it would be over sooner or later.
As a result, not only is Chen Ye safe now, but he has completely trampled the Zhao family prince and even the entire Prince Club under his feet, accomplishing something that Chen Yu never dared to think of!
This stark contrast shocked Xu Qi so much!
"have no idea."
Chen Yu's face became even more ugly.
"Is it grandpa's help?"
Xu Qi asked again, as if she wanted to get to the bottom of the matter and not give up until she knew the truth.
"It's impossible. Even if grandpa helps him, he can't do this."
Chen Yu shook his head with an ugly expression, and then said to prevent his wife from continuing to ask:
"I have an important meeting this morning, so I won't have breakfast!"
As soon as the words fell, Chen Yu was about to leave.
It seemed that, for him, talking about Chen Ye was like rubbing salt into the wound.
"In a few days, it will be grandpa's 70th birthday. Will Chen Ye also participate?"
Xu Qi shouted at Chen Yu's back.
no answer.
Chen Yu had a dark face and quickened his pace.
It seemed that he didn't want to answer this question, but in fact he didn't know how to face Chen Ye in the Chen family compound!
Yanjing, Qingdi Garden.
Chen Ye drank too much last night and fell asleep directly in Qingdi Garden.
It was rare that he didn't get up early as usual, but was woken up by Chen Xiurui's phone call.
"Xiaoye, it's my seventieth birthday in three days. Can you take your mother to Yanjing and celebrate my birthday together?"
When the call was connected, Chen Xiurui was the first to ask.
"good."
Chen Ye pondered for a moment and did not refuse Chen Xiurui.
Half a minute later.
He ended the call with Chen Xiurui and called his mother Fang Lan:
"Mom, it's grandpa's birthday in three days. How about we go celebrate his birthday together?"
"Ono, is this appropriate?"
Fang Lan looked anxious and worried.
"Don't worry, Mom, as long as I'm here, no one in the entire Chen family will dare to be disrespectful to you!"
Chen Ye spoke slowly, his voice was not loud, but firm and powerful.
Mother is more valuable than her son.
this day.
The young man decided to let his mother, who had been unknown and unknown for twenty-two years, straighten her spine and walk into the Chen family compound!
