Chapter 10 Rest assured, I won't get married
reak up like this.""If it's not a matter of principle, we can still sit down and talk about it."Jiang Yùn gave a perfunctory nod of agreement and then quickly slipped back into her room.The next day—J...Qin Yuezhen lamented to herself for a while, but she found that Chen Team seemed to be unusually quiet today.
"Captain Chen, are you alright Although reality is indeed cruel...that's why we have to work hard to find the culprit and avenge Wang Yue."
"Didn't you used to express disgust at Wang Yue's character"
Qin Yuezhen hurriedly explained, "No, I..."
"That's not the Wang Yue we understood before. All we heard was negative about her, saying she bullied both men and women. I finally understand what it means to say that pitiful people have hateful aspects."
Chen Xiaobo was silent.
To be honest, Wang Yue's experience is quite unexpected and regrettable.
No one could have imagined Wang Yue's life experiences would turn out this way.

"Captain Chen, aren't you eating in the cafeteria today"
Xiao Xu looked at Chen Xiaobo who was packing his things and getting ready to go home.
"Oh, I'm going home to eat today."
Xiao Xu gave a meaningful "oh" and then crept up to Chen Xiaobo's face.
"Please tell Director Chen that I greet him."
Chen Xiaobo pushed Xiao Xu away.
"Go."
Then Chen Xiaobo drove away.
Halfway through the drive, Chen Xiaobo opened his phone and sent a text message to a contact labeled "Mom".
After waiting a while, my phone only buzzed briefly.
Five minutes later, Chen Xiaobo parked his car and stood in front of a detached villa.
Chen Xiaobo looked at the black iron gate in front of him and took a deep breath.
"Master, you're back."
Chen Xiaobo's lips moved but he made no sound.
Because I know that even if it's corrected, it won't be of any use.
Even if you correct the address this time, it will still be the same next time.
Luckily, I don't come here often.
As soon as Chen Xiaobo stepped into the hall, he saw a middle-aged man tending to flowers.
"Dad."
The middle-aged man is Chen Xiaobo's father.
Chen's father glanced at his son and let out only a grunt.
"He came back empty-handed and didn't buy anything for your mother."
Chen Xiaobo seemed a little flustered, nervously fiddling with his hands. He rarely remained silent like this.
At that moment, a slender female voice came over.
"Is Xiao Bo back"
As soon as Chen's mother entered the front hall, she could feel the awkward atmosphere in the air.
"Xiao Bo, come in quickly and wash your hands for dinner. I cooked your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs today."
Chen Xiaobo was pulled into the dining room by his mother.
After washing his hands, Chen Xiaobo sat down opposite his father.
Chen's mother sat down beside her son.
"Come and try the sweet and sour pork ribs I made."
Chen Xiaobo took a sip.
I wonder if it's because I've grown up and my taste has changed, or if Mom's cooking skills have declined.
The sweet and sour pork doesn't taste as good in my mouth anymore compared to when I was a child.
On the contrary, there is a slight burnt taste.
"Not bad."
Throughout the meal, Chen Xiaobo ate silently.
After dinner, Mother Chen pulled her son aside and asked about his recent life.
Who knew that Mr. Chen, standing nearby, suddenly chimed in.
How are you feeling about Xiaobo's last suggestion
The moment these words were uttered, the atmosphere solidified once again.
"Dad, I think after all these years my meaning should be pretty clear."
Chen's father turned his face away and let out a long sigh, as if suppressing anger that was about to erupt.
"Do you know that 'Chunhua Dahui' was built with my and your mother's hard work Your mother's stomach illness is a result of overworking herself. Do you want us to just give the company away now"
Chen Xiaobo remained stubbornly silent.
"After you graduated high school, I arranged for you to study finance abroad. You said you wouldn't go and secretly went to the police academy instead. Have I ever said no to you"
"Now that your parents are getting older, the company really needs someone to take over. But with your current situation, you can't possibly manage the business. If only you could get married and have children soon, I could directly give the company to my grandson!"
After finishing, Father Chen gasped for breath.
"Dad, spouses of police officers and their children, as well as the spouses of their children, are not allowed to participate in business activities."
Chen's father widened his eyes and shouted.
"Don't I know"
There's no common ground to be found.
Chen Xiaobo walked out of the Chen residence.
"Xiao Bo!"
Then Mother Chen came out, holding a bank card in her hand, and chased after Chen Xiaobo to give it to him.
"Don't get angry with your dad, today he knew you were coming back for dinner. He was supposed to go to a meeting and even got dressed, but he didn't go. He specially waited for you in the foyer. Your dad is very happy today."
Chen Xiaobo looked into eyes that were both unfamiliar and familiar.
"Hmm."
Chen's mother patted Chen Xiaobo's arm.
"Xiao Bo, Chunhua is the company that Mom and Dad poured their life savings into. They really hope you'll come back to inherit it. And being a detective is dangerous and busy, we're afraid something will happen to you, just like your uncle's family."
Chen Xiaobo savored the two characters "heart and blood" in his heart.
He suddenly felt like laughing inappropriately, but he didn't.
"Mom, I am your only son. Surely my wishes are just as important as Chun Hua's"
Chen's mother was choked.
"Mom and Dad both regret giving you away to your uncle when you were so young... But have you ever thought about what would happen if one day you met a girl you liked, and your job doesn't allow you to take care of a family, or even your very existence is dangerous..."
"Don't worry, I won't get married."
After coldly dropping those words, Chen Xiaobo strode away.
Tears finally streamed down Chen's mother's face.
"Xiao Bo, Mommy really regrets that she didn't spend more time with you when you were younger."
Mr. Chen walked out from behind the door, embracing Mrs. Chen and walking back.
"Oh, my child is all grown up."

"Doctor Jiang, why don't we go out for lunch during our break"
Jiang Yunbai shook her head.
"Xiao Jiang really isn't going"
Li Fumian reached out and enveloped Jiang Yunbai in a hug, giving her a flying kiss from afar.
Then he leaned in close to Jiang Yunbai's ear and whispered something.
"Hey, don't you still occasionally get asked by Officer Chen for help with investigations Do you have his contact information"
Jiang Yùn heard this and widened her eyes, she quickly pulled Li Fumin over.
"Excuse me, I need to borrow Li Fumin for a moment."
Jiang Yùn bái addressed her colleagues who were preparing to go out for a meal.
The colleagues who were left behind looked at each other, and they all unconsciously wore a knowing smile.
Here, Lee Fumian still thought that Jiang Yunbai was planning to secretly give him her contact information.
So he's pretty cooperative.
"You're dreaming! How could I possibly have someone else's contact information"
Li Fumian sighed in disappointment.
Then just give me Gu Yan's contact information.
Jiang Yunbai opened and closed her mouth.
Finally, he looked around and with a face full of anger that iron couldn't become steel, he roared.
"Li Fumin!"
Then Jiang Yunbai had to lower his voice.
Don't just fall for a handsome guy, he might not be interested.
After a few seconds, Jiang Yunbai added.
"At least based on my understanding of Gu Yan, he has never had a male companion from that side before, so you can just give up on that idea."
Li Fumin added nonchalantly.
"I didn't make a move on him during your relationship, and it's been ages since you two broke up. It wouldn't even be considered cheating if I did now, right"
Jiang Yùn white supporting the forehead.
"Am I getting this right"ost in thought."Hmm.""Gu Yan, you...""I miss you, Xiaobai.""....""Xiaobai, let's meet tomorrow, I won't lie to you."Jiang Yun held the phone tightly, silent for a long time."Well, I understand."Every...
