After school that afternoon, Chen Lie left the Elite Campus and headed home.
As soon as he reached the front door, he heard a jumble of voices inside.
Chen Lie pushed the door open and went in.
The moment he stepped inside, he saw his second uncle, Chen Guangqun, and second aunt, Chang Guirong, sitting on the east side of the living room sofa. His parents sat across from them.
At that moment, Chen Guangqun and Chang Guirong were talking nonstop. They hadn't even noticed Chen Lie come in.
"Little sister-in-law, I went to ask your eldest brother too, but he said that although he'd been promoted to general, he had no military merit. So when it comes to the Blood Mist Flower, we can only ask you and Gexing to help Chen Ye."
Chang Guirong said.
"Did big brother really say he had no military merit? How could he have been promoted to general without any?" Chen Gequn couldn't help asking.
Chang Guirong replied, "Are you saying you still don't believe us? If you don't, you can call your eldest brother right now and ask him yourself."
"That's not what I meant!"
Chen Guangqun spoke up. "Gequn, I understand your concerns. If you use your military merit to help Chen Ye, we won't let you do it for nothing. If Yaoyao or Chen Lie run into trouble in the future, we'll do everything we can to help them.
"If Chen Ye hadn't reached this point, I, as his older brother, would never ask you to do something so difficult."
"Second brother, actually..."
Before Chen Gequn could finish, Chen Lie came in and interrupted him.
"Dad, I'm home!"
"Oh? You're back. Go to your room for now. I'm talking with your second uncle and second aunt," Chen Gequn said.
