C10 What Is Going On?
With the support of Li Wen, Chen Nan went to her room on the third floor. Chen Shuiguo smiled and said, "Alright, I'm home. You'll know soon enough." As he spoke, he did not use his key to open the door, but knocked on the door instead. This made Chen Nan a little confused, and the door was opened.
Chen Nan's eyes widened as he asked in disbelief, "Big brother, sister-in-law?" A man and a woman laughed, and the man that Chen Nan called Big Bro said, "It's me, Chen Nan" After saying that, he hugged Chen Nan, "The moment your big brother heard mom say that you were injured and entered the hospital, he wanted to rush back. However, your mom said not to come back yet, so he came back late. You can't blame your big brother, right" After that, he looked at Chen Nan with a serious expression.
Chen Nan actually nodded and said, "I'll blame you" Chen Nan's elder brother, Chen Zhen, just in case he was stunned. He then saw Chen Nan holding back his laughter.
He pushed Chen Nan away and said, "You're a good kid, yet you're actually toying with your big brother." Chen Nan laughed loudly and said, "Who asked you to come back now?" Then he pounded Chen Wan's chest.
"I was planning to pick you up, but dad told me it would be fine if they just went. He told me to wait for you at home with your sister-in-law."
At that time, he was only 5 years old, and his parents were originally his father's working buddies, and their relationship was also very good. Chen Wan's relatives did not plan to raise him, and maybe they found Chen Wan pitiful, but just like his father, they actually adopted him as if he was their own. At that time, Chen Nan was just born, and perhaps Li Wen had just become his mother and could not bear to see his child, so he actually agreed to it.
Even if the conditions at that time weren't good, at that time, Chen Wan became a part of their family and never changed his name. When he was in junior high school, he actually wanted to change his surname to Chen, but seeing how determined Chen Shuiguo was, he agreed and named Chen Wan. Chen Wan was also a person who knew how to repay favors, and he treated his family as if they were family members.
Chen Wan's wife was called Lin Shan Shan, a real beauty of the south. Chen Nan had always asked how Chen Wan had been able to catch up with his sister-in-law, and although Chen Wan was not very good-looking, he had always laughed it off or changed the subject, refusing to give him a positive answer.
Seeing how the two of them were playing with each other, Lin Shan Shan said, "Alright, you two brothers. Let's talk for a while and let our parents come in." Chen Shuiguo also liked this scene. In his eyes, brothers could interact harmoniously with each other. Only then would families flourish. He had never treated Chen Wan as an outsider before.
After Chen Shuiguo and Li Wen entered the room, Chen Nan raised her leg and wanted to go in, but was stopped by Shan Shan. Chen Nan smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you bullying your little brother? Don't let me in."
Before Lin Shan Shan said anything, Chen Wan lightly tapped Chen Nan's chest: "Is there a reason for you to say that, your sister-in-law wouldn't let you in." Sure enough, they just saw …
Lin Shan Shan took out an iron basin from behind the door. There was some yellow paper inside. After Chen Wan lit the paper, she said, "Come and cross the brazier. The bad luck is gone."
Chen Nan was stunned and immediately laughed out loud, "Big bro, you can't be! You actually believe this! Dad, come and look!"
Chen Wan didn't seem to care. "It's a good thing that you're lucky this time. It would be better if you didn't try." Chen Wan worked for a company in Guangzhou, so some things were affected.
Chen Nan smiled as he crossed the brazier and said, "It should be fine now, right? Don't tell me you want the grapefruit leaves to bathe?"
Chen Ying nodded seriously upon hearing this. Chen Nan was stunned as she said, "I'm just saying. You haven't really become a Guangdong citizen, have you?"
Lin Shan Shan giggled. "Idiot! Your big brother is lying to you."
"Oh!" Hearing this, Chen Nan let out a sigh of relief. Chen Nan didn't mind that the grapefruit leaves were bathing, but what he minded was that the grapefruit leaves floating in the bathtub made him feel a little uncomfortable. It was just a local custom.
Seeing the three of them talking and laughing, Chen Shuiguo nodded with a smile. Li Wen called Shan Shan into the kitchen and started working on today's lunch while Chen Wan and Chen Nan sat beside Chen Shuiguo. Chen Nan asked, "Big brother, when are you leaving?"
Chen Wan thought about it and said, "You ask Dad?"
"Ask Dad?" With a puzzled expression, Chen Nan looked at Chen Shuiguo who was sitting there watching TV and asked, "Why are you asking daddy?"
Chen Shuiguo answered, "Chen Wan is coming back to help me. I told your big brother about what you told me about the real estate that day. Your big brother said that we can do it, but the price of the real estate has started to rise in Guangdong, so I called Chen Wan to come back and invest in the real estate."
Upon hearing that, Chen Nan was overjoyed. "That's great" First, he hadn't seen his big brother for a long time, and every time they met, he would only stay for a day or two. Moreover, his father had truly accepted his opinion, so he might not be able to see any profits right now, but after a few days, they would realize that their decision from the start was right.
Chen Wan nodded, "Chen Nan, I didn't think that you had some business sense."
Hearing Chen Wan's praise, Chen Nan said, "Of course. Who do you think I am?" Chen Nan didn't forget to give Chen Wanshui a high hat. However, Chen Nan then thought of something and asked, "Since you've come, what should we do, eldest sister-in-law?" Lin Shan Shan's job was much better than Chen Wan's, and she had many opportunities to be promoted. That was why he asked.
Chen Wan replied, "Your sister-in-law will come along as well, but since I still have some tasks to finish, and your sister-in-law is about the same, I can't resign from the job for a while." As long as his big brother comes back, it'll be fine. As long as he works for someone in a company, how can he compare to someone who's the boss of a company?
Since Chen Nan had just been discharged from the hospital, he still needed to rest more. Therefore, Chen Shuiguo asked him to stay at home while Chen Wan and his sister-in-law went to the shop to help out.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, that scene of the cup floating over from the hospital suddenly appeared in his mind. Seeing things getting bigger, Chen Nan had already tried it a few times but to no avail, so Chen Nan had been waiting for this opportunity to try that scene of the cup drifting towards him for no reason.
He went to the kitchen and filled a water cup with water that was almost the same at the time, then returned to his room. He thought back, however, about the distance between the water cup and himself, and after he put it away properly, Chen Nan began his experiment. He took a deep breath, tried to drink water in his mind, and reached for it, but his eyes were still tightly staring at the water cup.
Chen Nan opened his eyes in surprise once again, and the cup of water continued to sway towards him. Chen Nan did not dare to move, so he held his breath, and only when the cup of water fell into his hands and was firmly grabbed did he let out a sigh of relief, "It's a success." Chen Nan thought excitedly.
He had once seen a novel where he said that a group of spirit masters could concentrate and control all objects. Wasn't he the same as them? Chen Nan's heart felt like it was about to jump out of his chest. He had never thought of the usefulness of this, but it was a special ability.
If it wasn't for him, Chen Nan would have to thank Bai Zi. If it wasn't for him, Chen Nan would have had to forcefully suppress the ecstasy he felt earlier, and he put the blanket back in place, then added some more water into it, thinking about it, the cup of water floated into his hands again, and he tried it several times consecutively, and Chen Nan even changed the bigger cup of water. But this time, Chen Nan already felt that it was a bit difficult, and before the cup of water even landed on her hand, Chen Nan fell down onto the ground with a thud, turning into powder.
Chen Nan did not know how long he slept, until an image suddenly appeared in his mind. In his dreams, he actually saw his parents, accompanied by Chen Wan, open the door and take a look inside.
The moment he opened his eyes, he heard the sound of the door closing. The sound of his family members conversing came from the living room, and Chen Nan instantly became somewhat suspicious. He had been dreaming about the scene when his family had returned, and hearing the sound of the door closing, they had just returned as well.
Although this time, Chen Nan was surprised, he was already mentally prepared. He had been waiting for the illusion to appear once again, and as Chen Nan watched the door enlarge in front of his eyes, he suddenly thought, "It would be great if I could pass through the door." Although his thoughts flashed by, he still knew that it was impossible. However, he had always thought that it was impossible, yet it had actually happened after he had thought of it.
Chen Nan actually saw the door in front of him gradually becoming thinner, and it went right through him just like that. Everything his family did was within his sight, and this time, Chen Nan had no choice but to be shocked.
Although he clearly knew that all of this was caused by his brain injury, it was still too unbelievable. Chen Nan had already spent many days getting used to the amplification of his consciousness and field of vision, and now a phenomenon that even science couldn't explain had suddenly appeared. How could he not be surprised?
