After the investigation, Lin Fei found a department manager to take the blame.
Chen Zheng did not say anything about this. He fired the manager according to the rules and promoted someone to replace him.
Even though this matter had been put aside for the time being, Lin Fei still felt that Chen Zheng knew something. However, she did not have the courage to verify it, so she could only stop for now and wait for the next opportunity.
After stealing the limelight this time, Chen Zheng finally understood He Miao’s intentions. Even if she did not agree to Lu Shuang’s real request, she probably would not join forces with her.
Since they could not be partners, they could only be enemies.
During this period of time, people came in and out of the He family every day to report to He Chen.
He Miao could no longer remember how many people had come to visit today. She slowly put down her teacup and could not help but look at the butler. “What has my father been busy with these past few days?”
The butler was trimming the freshly picked flowers on the table in the living room. When he heard this, his hands paused and his eyes curved into a smile. “Master is investigating an old matter of the past. He has instructed that you don’t need to interfere, so don’t make things difficult for me.”
He Miao raised her eyebrows speechlessly. She raised her gaze slightly and looked in the direction of the study upstairs. She said thoughtfully, “Is Dad investigating Mom?”
The butler almost cut off the entire flower branch with the scissors in his hand. He quickly put it aside and pinched the stem to examine it carefully. After that, he heaved a sigh and said, “Don’t ask. Master doesn’t want me to say.”
Amused, He Miao sat a little closer and took the initiative to reach out to help him put the flowers into the vase. She smiled and said, “I know even if you don’t say it. After Dad returned back to the country, the only thing he cared about was Mom and me.”
The butler sighed deeply and took out the flowers that He Miao had just randomly inserted. One by one, he rearranged them according to the design and said, “Master cares a lot about you. I’ve been by his side all these years, but I’ve never seen him so happy.”
“I’m also very happy to have a father who loves me very much.” He Miao smiled sweetly and asked the servant next to her to bring the fresh flowers she had just picked to her. “Uncle Butler, please teach me how to arrange flowers and trim the flowers. 1 think they’re especially beautiful.”
“Sure.” Compared to her continuing to inquire about He Chen’s current investigation, the butler was naturally more willing to teach her the gardening techniques that these noble ladies liked. It was also a good way to accompany her to pass the time.
Upstairs in the study, He Chen was sitting in front of the window with an expressionless face. His back was facing the door. His eyes reflected the glaring sunlight outside, but his back was pitch-black.
“Are you saying that Ningning’s marriage to He Feng was carefully planned by someone?”
“Yes.” The man standing in the middle of the study had a sorrowful expression on his face. When he thought about how his master had suffered all these years because of someone’s scheme, he could not help but feel resentful.
He Chen suddenly turned his wheelchair around and turned away from the sun. He looked at his subordinate who was standing in the dark. “Tell me everything you know in detail. Don’t miss a single detail.”
“Yes.” The man lowered his eyes and wiped away his tears. He slowly told him about the old things that he had just heard.
More than 20 years ago, Ye Ning suddenly found out that she was pregnant.
Unfortunately, premarital pregnancy was a stain that was enough to be criticized by the family at that time. She did not dare to tell anyone, so she hid the report from the hospital alone and prepared to go to He Chen alone.
At that time, He Chen had just inherited the family business and was busy dealing with family affairs every day. It had been a long time since he had seen Ye Ning.
So when she took the initiative to meet him, He Chen was very happy.
He put down the pen in his hand and walked around the desk to her side. He reached out and pulled her to the sofa to sit down. “How could you bear to see me? I thought you were going to ignore me from now on.”
Ye Ning shook his hand off in amusement and rebuked, “It’s all because you’re so busy all day long. 1 wanted to see you, but I was afraid of disturbing you.”
“My dear wife needs me. How can you call it disturbing me?” He Chen’s heart was filled with sweetness as he smiled and poured her a glass of her favorite milk.
Ye Ning’s heart skipped a beat, and her face suddenly turned red. She turned around coquettishly and refused to look at him. “What nonsense are you talking about? Who… Who’s your something?”
“Which what?” When He Chen saw her shy look, he instantly wanted to tease her. He poked her back in amusement and said, “Alright, 1 didn’t say anything wrong. You’re my only wife in the future. Don’t you want to marry me?”
“Me!” Ye Ning suddenly turned around, her face burning hot. Just as she was about to tell him about her pregnancy, he heard a crisp knock on the door.
“Who is it? Come in and talk.” He Chen sat up straight and suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that she was still in the same shy position with her head lowered. He thought that he had teased her too much just now, so he stuffed the cup on the table into her hand as a simple apology..
