Metropolis: My Rising Life

"Sister, here it is!"

After Chen Yi and Chen Jin had some desserts in Sanlitun, they found a high-end restaurant nearby for dinner.

As the most lively place for young people in the imperial capital, there are many high-end restaurants near Gongti Sanlitun. Even the picky people can find suitable tastes there.

After dinner, the two of them wandered around again. As a gathering place for the nightlife of the Imperial Capital, Sanlitun at night was just when it was lively.

But Chen Jin doesn’t like bars and nightclubs. Chen Yi also doesn’t want to go to that place except for a bunch of friends to hang out. The two of them just wandered around and chatted casually, and it was almost ten o’clock in the evening. It was decided to go home.

He drove Chen Jin back to the hidden courtyard. Under the watch of the guards, Chen Jin got out of the car.

She wanted to say something and stopped, but in the end she just whispered: "...Be careful on the way back, and send me a message when you get home."

"I know, sister! Go back and rest quickly. I will go to Shencheng in two days. If you go to Shencheng, tell me 25 in advance. I will pick you up at the airport."

Chen Yi also got out of the car and drove Chen Jin to the door.

"Okay, you go home quickly, or do you live at my house tonight?"

Chen Jin seemed to be serious, and also seemed to invite jokingly.

"Haha, let's forget it. I have been living here during the Spring Festival for a few days. I will leave the imperial capital and spend the last few days with my parents."

Chen Yi laughed, but refused.

To be honest, it's uncomfortable to live with Grandpa, although the guards usually stand on guards, and they won't disturb life.

But thinking about being stared by so many people beside him, Chen Yi just feels awkward.

Chen Jin did not continue to stay, but said: "...Well, then you go back and give my sister... to your mother."

Chen Jin's "sister" was only half-screamed and couldn't be screamed anymore, it would make her feel very old.

The average age gap between the ‘sisters’ is not very large, but she and Chen Yi’s mother are a teenager, but only eight years behind Chen Yi.

This generation is stuck here, which makes Chen Jin feel a bit tangled.

"I see, if you have a chance, Sister, go to my house to play."

Chen Yi shook his hand to Chen Jin, just said with a smile.

‘You are not at home anymore, what shall I do at your house. ’

Chen Jin opened her mouth and wanted to say such a sentence, but she felt that it was not appropriate. In the end, she only pressed her lower lip and smiled and said, "...When I have time, I will definitely go."(Read more @ mtlarchive.com)

The two did not continue to say anything, it was not a life or death, and it was not that they would never see each other again. After Chen Jin walked into the courtyard, Chen Yi got in the car and drove away.

This car is a limited edition of only three cars in the country. It is still loaded when driving. Chen Yi is thinking about whether to get this car to Shanghai.

In the end, Chen Yi gave up, and it was not enough trouble to have to change cards at that time.

In the past, Chen Yi needed luxury cars in order to make himself look like the richest class.

But now he is already well-known in this circle, and it is completely unnecessary to use a car to show his identity.

Even if Chen Yi drove a two-hundred-hundred-thousand-three-million-dollar car, others would not think he was poor, and would only think that Chen Shao was a little low-key today.

I said that there are a lot of luxury cars in Shanghai. What is really needed? It will be no problem to buy it now. By the way, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan does not know when it will arrive.

Thinking about the mess, Chen Yi just drove home.

...

In the courtyard, Chen Jin pulled her neckline, feeling the warm breath of the imperial capital gradually.

The coldest time has passed, and the temperature at night is now above zero. As long as it is not windy, this temperature is nothing to the northerners.

Walking in this courtyard with ancient royal atmosphere, Chen Yi's voice and smile flashed unconsciously in his mind.

"This eldest nephew has never talked about his love life, nor does he know who his girlfriend is, so he has to bring him to see you next time."

She murmured, but she was inexplicably upset in her heart.

"No, you have to see, you have to check him!"

Finding a reason for herself, Chen Jin walked towards her bedroom.

But before going to her bedroom, she had to report to her parents that she was safe and let them know that she was back.

As soon as I walked to the door of my father's study, I heard a puffy voice from inside: "...Is it Xiao Jin? Come in!"

Hearing his father's voice, Chen Jin didn't knock on the door any more, but just opened the door and walked in.

The room was brightly lit, and Mr. Chen was wearing a pair of glasses, sitting behind his desk looking at a report.

"Dad, you haven't slept yet?"

Chen Jin sat across the desk and asked when she took off her coat.

Old Chen looked up at her and didn't answer, but instead asked, "...have you gone out to play with Xiaoyi?"

"Well, I went to Sanlitun with him for a stroll, here, look, this is the jewelry my elder nephew gave me."

Chen Jin took out the Cartier jewelry Chen Yi gave her like a treasure.

Old Chen shook his head and reprimanded: "...you aunt, you know that Xiaoyi will buy this and that for you. He also bought that painting for you, right?"

Chen Jin stuck out her tongue. She knew that she couldn't hide from her father when she took a picture from Xiangjiang. She just looked at the way he scolded herself, and she kissed Chen Yi more than she did.

Who on earth is your girl!

Uh, okay, the eldest nephew seems to be his grandson too, this old man really likes grandchildren even more.

Chen Jin was slanderous, but her father liked Chen Yi, but Chen Jin was happy with him. She was even more afraid that her parents did not like Chen Yi.

Before 770, I thought about it too much. My father and mother felt very painful to the big nephew, and kissed her better.

Chen Jin didn't dare to talk back to his father, and quickly changed the subject: "...Dad, you are not too young, don't work so late, rest early, don't get tired."

Seeing her daughter caring about herself, Old Chen's tone eased a lot, but he still glared at her with a beard and said: "...When fighting in the past, the generals used to pay attention to the battlefield for days and nights."

"...Your father and I have also been on the battlefield, and my body is very tough. How could I be exhausted because of such a small matter!"

Chen Lao served as a soldier very early. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, he was exactly 20 years old, and he participated in the war on the southern border.

Chen Jin shut up immediately, knowing that her father is stubborn, and she can't tell him.

Old Chen took a sip of tea, took off his glasses from the bridge of his nose, and glanced at Chen Jin. He didn't know whether his tone was joy, or he said with a sigh:

"...There will be an internal meeting in two days. After the general assembly of all members in March, the Supreme Military Conference will also be held."

Although Chen Lao's words are unclear, Chen Jin knows that after this year's Supreme Military Conference, his father will join it as one of the Supreme Military Councillors.

This also represents that he is about to ascend to the pinnacle of power, and in the next ten years, together with the seven veterans of the Supreme Council, will form a fourteen-member assembly to rule the world! .
