When driving out of the community gate, Nan Li saw Tian Yulan standing at the intersection and waving for a taxi. She gritted her teeth and drove over.

"Di Di..."

Tian Yulan was standing on the side of the road. She was left behind because there were not enough seats in Yan Peng's car. Now she was trying desperately to get a taxi, but ten minutes had passed and she still couldn't get one.

When she was getting impatient waiting, she suddenly saw Nan Li's car driving over and then the window rolled down.

"Get in the car quickly."

Tian Yulan hesitated for two seconds, but finally opened the car door and got in.

"There's no need to talk about what just happened. Let's go to the hospital first."

Without giving Tian Yulan a chance to speak, Nan Li spoke first, then stepped on the accelerator and drove forward.

Tian Yulan muttered a few words in her heart but did not refute. Compared with quarreling, Nan Jianlong's safety was indeed more important now. No matter how dissatisfied she was, Nan Jianlong had done her a favor after all, and she really didn't want Nan Jianlong to get into trouble.

With the help of Zhou Chen's navigation, Yan Peng drove quickly to the nearest hospital. Zhou Chen didn't care about anything else. He got out of the car, carried Nan Jianlong on his back, and went straight to the emergency room.

After arriving at the emergency room, the nurse on duty heard that someone had fainted and the patient was not in good physical condition, so she quickly called the doctor and then pushed the person into the emergency room.

"You guys go get a card and pay the fee first."

Zhou Chen was about to go over, but when he felt his pocket, he found that he didn't have his cell phone with him. He had no choice but to let Yan Peng go with him, leaving Cai Juying alone to guard the door of the emergency room.

After applying for a card and depositing some money, Zhou Chen and Yan Peng returned to the door of the emergency room and waited.

About twenty minutes later, Nan Li and Tian Yulan came running over in a hurry.

After Nan Li arrived, she asked Zhou Chen directly: "Husband, how is my father doing?"

"I don't know. He was pushed into the emergency room, but there is no movement. I don't know what the situation is now."

Tian Yulan over there was comforting Cai Juying. Cai Juying had been crying non-stop since she entered the emergency room from Nan Jianlong. Just now Zhou Chen and Yan Peng didn't know how to comfort her. Now that Tian Yulan was here, the mother and daughter immediately hugged each other and cried bitterly.

As several people waited anxiously, the door of the emergency room was finally opened.

"Who are the patient's family members?"

"I am his daughter." "I am, I am his lover."...

Nan Li and Cai Juying reacted the fastest and shouted at the doctor.

"He's fine, but he hasn't woken up yet. The patient's condition just now was indeed very dangerous. Although we don't know what happened, he must have fainted suddenly, and the patient's heart is not very good. Although he is no longer in danger, he still needs to be hospitalized for observation for a few days. You go and handle the formalities first."

After hearing the doctor's words, Zhou Chen and the others were obviously relieved. Fortunately, no one was hurt, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

There was no time to care about the previous quarrel. Cai Juying and the others followed the doctor and pushed Nan Jianlong to the ward, while Zhou Chen accompanied Nan Li to go through the hospitalization procedures.

On the way, Nan Li called her mother Zhao Na again. Zhao Na on the other end of the phone was relieved when she heard that everything was fine.

Just like that, a battle of the century between the former mother and daughter and the current mother and daughter ended with Nan Jianlong fainting from anger.

In the late afternoon, Nan Jianlong also woke up. Zhou Chen and Nan Li stayed in the hospital until the evening before going back. The last person to stay to take care of him was Cai Juying.

On the way back, Nan Li was still feeling scared. What happened today was really a series of unexpected events.

She originally wanted to call her father and Tian Yulan to take Cai Juying back, but who would have thought that her mother Zhao Na would come over at this time and see Cai Juying, which led to a quarrel and even a fight.

The matter was about to be resolved, but Tian Yulan came again, and she came at a very inappropriate time, which led to the escalation of the situation. From a dispute between two old people, it directly escalated into a dispute between three families, and even caused people to come upstairs and watch.

She was really angry and lost face, but compared with Nan Jianlong's safety, these were nothing. Fortunately, Nan Jianlong was fine, otherwise, Nan Li would probably blame herself to death. After all, she was the one who called her father, and she should bear most of the responsibility.

What can Zhou Chen say?

All they could do was comfort Nan Li, telling her that she was not entirely to blame, but that the tragedy was caused by the suddenness of the incident and the sheer randomness of it.

But he was actually very emotional. He hired a tutor to resolve the conflict between the two families in the plot over the selection quota, but who would have thought that it would lead to the current worse situation, which made Nan Jianlong faint with anger.

Sure enough, no matter when, whenever the legal wife and the mistress meet, nothing good will happen. However, this time, both the ex-wife and the mistress were fine, and it was Nan Jianlong who fainted from anger.

Chapter 36 Zhou Chen's Enlightenment

On the way back, Zhou Chen and Nan Li were both very hungry because their lunch was disrupted by Cai Juying, and they were busy with Nan Jianlong's affairs in the afternoon. After they finally finished their work, they rushed home and had no time to eat outside. They just wanted to get home and eat.

It was already past nine o'clock when we got home. My mother-in-law, Zhao Na, was still very serious and responsible in treating the two children.

Huanhuan and Chaochao had already fallen asleep, and Zhao Na was sitting in the living room waiting for them.

Nan Li sprained her ankle today. After walking all day, her ankle was quite swollen. After returning home, she couldn't get up from her sitting position.

While the mother and daughter were chatting in the living room, Zhou Chen went to the kitchen to prepare something. It wasn't anything complicated, he just cooked some noodles, and it was done in just over ten minutes.

Zhou Chen and Nan Li sat at the dining table to eat, and Zhao Na also sat with them.

"Xia Junshan, Lili told me everything that happened today. I'm not saying anything bad about you, but why are you so polite to that old mistress and even let her in? You should just kick her out instead of wasting words with her."

After confirming that Nan Jianlong was not seriously injured, Zhao Na felt relieved. However, when she thought about what happened this afternoon, she was still full of resentment.

"She came here in the middle of the day and shamelessly asked you for help. Lili, Xia Junshan, I'm telling you this today. If you dare to help her, you won't recognize me as your mother anymore."

Seeing that Zhao Na was indeed angry, Nan Li quickly put down her chopsticks, "Mom, what are you talking about? We won't help her at all, right, Xia Junshan."

Zhou Chen nodded quickly and replied, "Yes, Mom, don't worry, I can still tell who is close to me and who is distant. I was polite to her today just for Dad's sake. Otherwise, I would have chased her away long ago. I gave her face, but she still dared to fight with you."

"Pfft!"

Zhao Na couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing: "Xia Junshan, why are you talking so nicely today? You are right. You can't be polite to that kind of old mistress. Next time she comes, you don't have to give face to the old man, just drive her away. If the old man dares to cause trouble for you, tell me and I will help you deal with him."

Zhou Chen nodded repeatedly. To be honest, he did want to kick Cai Juying out as soon as possible, but Cai Juying was too shameless and refused to leave. Later, his father-in-law came and he couldn't do anything.

As for Tian Yulan, he didn't do anything because of Yan Peng's face, and given the situation at that time, he really couldn't do anything. They were all women, and he was a grown man. No matter how unhappy he was, he couldn't do anything.

Zhao Na: "No matter what, you must promise me today that you will never let that mistress enter this house again, otherwise don't blame me for turning hostile."

Nan Li quickly assured: "Mom, don't worry, I promise you, if that woman dares to come again, I won't let her in, I will just let her go, no, I won't even open the door for her."

"Even the old man can't do it."

"No problem. Even if the old man comes, he won't open it."

"That's pretty much it."

Only then was Zhao Na satisfied.

Zhou Chen sat nearby and laughed in his heart. His mother-in-law was so old, but she acted like a child. When she was with Nan Li, it was as if their identities had been swapped.

In the room, Zhou Chen sat on the edge of the bed, massaging Nan Li's ankle.

"Hubby, don't take what my mom said just now to heart. She just speaks her mind and can't keep her words to herself."

Zhou Chen said: "It's nothing, my mother didn't say anything unpleasant, on the contrary, I think what she said makes sense. Now thinking back to the scene at that time, if I had been more decisive and kicked her out earlier, so many things wouldn't have happened later."

Nan Li chuckled and said, "You are not that kind of person. If it were me, I would be almost the same. No matter how bad that woman is, she is still Dad's person. She is shameless, but we can't be shameless. The grudge between her and Mom has been going on for a long time. What makes me more angry is that woman Tian Yulan. She is a psychopath. She didn't understand anything clearly and just came up to curse at you. She also pushed you. If Mom hadn't stopped me at that time, I would have wanted to help you fight back."

"That Tian Yulan is indeed just like her mother."

Thinking of Tian Yulan, Zhou Chen couldn't help but curse inwardly. This woman was a very embarrassed person. She would start fighting as soon as she said she would. At that time, he was really angry and wanted to slap her, but in the end he didn't do it. After all, it was already chaotic enough at that time. Once he started, the situation would change completely.

"What happened today also made me realize something. We always wanted to maintain superficial harmony before, but in fact, it is impossible. Since they were so rude to us today and made a scene at our house, we should not be polite to them in the future. If we are polite, they will think we are easy to bully. We can't rely on them, so we really gave them face."

Nan Li suddenly approached Zhou Chen and looked him up and down.

"what happened?"

"Nothing, I just think it's too unbelievable. Is this still my husband? When we went there before, you always advised me to keep peace, fearing that I would quarrel with them. Now you actually said such a thing. Is he really upset today?"

Zhou Chen rolled his eyes. "I wasn't upset, but I figured it out. After what happened today, they left without a care in the world, but if we stay, we'll definitely be gossiped about behind our backs."

"And Huanhuan and Chaochao, they were both scared today. This is what I cannot tolerate the most. They also accused us of involving the child. What do they call this? I think we were too polite to them in the past. They thought we were easy to bully, so they dared to be so unscrupulous."

"I've figured it out. I can't be polite to them anymore, even for Dad's sake. At worst, I can just stop being friends with them. What's the point of having such relatives? If they bully you again, I'll turn against them and tell them to get out."

No matter how he thought about what happened today, he felt unhappy because he had never encountered such a thing before. Coupled with many concerns, he handled it very poorly at noon, so that his wife and children were frightened and wronged. This is not what a qualified husband would do.

Mother-in-law Zhao Na's rude and brutal behavior today may seem wrong, but thinking about it afterwards, this approach might be more effective in dealing with the mother and daughter Cai Juying and Tian Yulan.

Maybe my mother-in-law has figured it out over the years. If she had been as tough as she is now, she wouldn't have been replaced by Cai Juying's mistress.

Nan Li listened carefully to Zhou Chen's complaints and anger, then suddenly smiled and put her hands around Zhou Chen's neck.

"Hubby, you're so nice. I believe you."

"Wife, I promise that if something like this happens again, I will protect you and the children. No matter who dares to bully you and the children, I will not let them go."

"Thank you, husband. Marrying you is the luckiest thing in my life."

Zhou Chen's eyes were complicated, and he hugged Nan Li tightly, whispering: "I am happier to be able to come to this world and meet you."

Chapter 37 Finding trouble and resigning

Nan Jianlong stayed in the hospital for a total of seven days. During these seven days, Nan Li originally wanted to take leave to take care of him, but was rejected by Nan Jianlong. In the end, although she went there every day, it was Cai Juying who stayed in the hospital to take care of him.

Zhou Chen also visited her several times, but because he was too busy recently and didn't really want to see Cai Juying, he didn't stay for long.

But on the day of discharge, Zhou Chen and Nan Li both went to the hospital. All the procedures were handled by them, and even the fees were paid by them.

Nan Jianlong wanted to give them the money, but Nan Li directly refused. She felt guilty. If it weren't for them, Nan Jianlong wouldn't have been so angry that he had to be hospitalized.

After returning home, Nan Jianlong looked at the still brand new and clean house and felt emotional. Then he thought about how his ex-wife Zhao Na had not visited him for even a single day during the days he was in the hospital. After this comparison, he felt that his choice was the right one.

Cai Juying took good care of him in the hospital, and when he returned home, he found himself in a clean house with a comfortable homely atmosphere, which was something he had never experienced in the first ten years of his marriage.

So, when going to bed at night, Cai Juying would whisper in Nan Jianlong's ear, saying how hard her life was, how she had to run around for the family, and in the end when she went out she would be scolded as a mistress, and she didn't know who to tell about her pain.

It was just for the sake of the child's schooling. As long as Nan Li and her husband were willing to help, it would definitely work. But they looked down on her and were unwilling to help her...

Nan Jianlong felt bad after hearing this. He knew that his daughter looked down on his current wife, and he also knew that what Cai Juying said was a bit exaggerated.

But what Cai Juying said was not wrong. After all, even if she had no merit, she had worked hard. It has been so many years, and yet she is still being pointed at and called a mistress. No one can stand this.

"Don't worry, I will find a way to get Ziyou into that gold medal class."

Cai Juying was overjoyed. She was an uneducated person, and in her opinion, Nan Jianlong, who used to be a cadre, was a very capable person. Since he said so, Ziyou would definitely be able to get into the gold medal class.

Zhou Chen has been working and writing novels every day during this period. His life is very busy and tight. After spending two weeks, he finally came up with what he thinks is the best design plan. He plans to refine it for another two days before going to Fang Yuanyang to hand it in.

After stretching, Zhou Chen held the teacup and prepared to make some coffee to refresh himself.

When he arrived at the lounge and was drinking coffee, Director Lin from the design institute suddenly walked over with a gloomy face.

"Designer Xia, how come you still have time to drink coffee here?"

Zhou Chen was busy and tired, and before he had a few minutes' rest, he saw Director Lin coming over with a questioning look on his face, and he was also a little dissatisfied.

"Why can't I have some coffee?"

Zhou Chen had originally planned to resign after finishing this deal. If Director Lin had been nicer, he would have certainly responded as well. But he didn't dare to do anything. He just came to drink coffee, and this guy questioned him in a very dissatisfied tone, but he was too lazy to indulge him.

Director Lin was even more angry when he saw Zhou Chen dared to refute him: "You said you were going to help the horse racing group make a plan, but it's been more than two weeks and it hasn't come out yet. I think you've been lazy and used to it recently. You don't take the company's rules and regulations seriously, right?"

Zhou Chen put the teacup on the table. "I'm lazy? Director Lin, I don't take the company's rules and regulations seriously? Director Lin, you should be careful with your words. I've been very busy with the design plan for the horse racing group recently. I finally had a cup of coffee, and you said I was lazy?"

Director Lin sneered, "Designer Xia, drinking coffee doesn't count as being lazy, but you've been playing with your phone and writing novels in the office every day for the past two months. Do you really think others don't know? This is a company, not a place where you can do whatever you want. I've put up with you more than once or twice. I thought you could change, but now you've been delaying the case of the Horse Racing Group. Do you deserve the salary you get?"

Zhou Chen's eyes turned cold. Well, he finally realized that this guy came prepared and it seemed that he had been dissatisfied with him for a long time.

Director Lin was right. He did write novels in the company in the past two months, but that was all while completing his work, and it did not interfere with his work at all.

Now the man surnamed Lin is just looking for an excuse to make things difficult for him. After all, it is because he didn't get the order from the horse racing group, so he is venting his anger on him.

If it was the previous Xia Junshan, he might have swallowed his anger in the face of such difficulties, but the current Zhou Chen would not do that.

He had not planned to do it in the first place, and after what happened a while ago, his mind had changed. Endure? There was no point in enduring.

"I've figured it out. Okay, since you think I'm not worthy of the salary I get, I don't want to argue with you. Just listen to me. I quit."

Zhou Chen threw the name badge on the table. It was not the first time for him to resign. Moreover, he already had a better way out and he was too disdainful to flatter Director Lin here.

"You, what did you say?"

Director Lin was shocked when he heard Zhou Chen's loud shout. Because the quarrel between the two was quite loud, many people in the company gathered around.

Zhou Chen looked at Director Lin coldly and said coldly: "I said, I quit. Did you hear me clearly this time?"

Director Lin was so angry that he was shaking: "You're quitting? The company has trained you for so many years, how can you just quit by saying you don't want to do it?"

Zhou Chen said with disdain: "Do you think this is an important scientific research base? How can you restrict my personal freedom? According to the Labor Law, I have the right to resign. It's useless even if you say it to the sky. Even if you sue me, it's useless."
