In the afternoon, Chen Man was still doing design in the office, so Hou Jingming took Chen Xi’s customer information. All copies of the real estate certificate, household registration book and marriage certificate were prepared. With these, and Chen Xi signed the design and construction consent form, the progress of the case will not be too slow.

At around three o'clock, Lawyer Zhang walked over to visit Chen Man by Jiang Hai. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the customer information on Chen Man's desk. He picked it up and took a look, and asked, "What are you going to do with a fake marriage certificate?"

Chen Man was stunned for a moment and jokingly said, "Lawyer Zhang, can you stop making trouble?"

Lawyer Zhang immediately became alert. It seemed that Chen Man didn't know that the copy of the marriage certificate was fake. He looked at Chen Man with a serious look and said, "Director Chen, do you think I'm joking? Don't forget, law is my profession. Can others cheat me if this kind of marriage certificate be cheated?"

Now, Chen Man can't remain calm anymore.

Chen Xi and Xu Suqing were actually getting married in a fake way? But she clearly remembered that the name on the property certificate was Xu Suqing, not Chen Xi.

This...fake marriage?

For the quota for buying a house? Obviously not. Chen Man has checked that Chen Jiahe and his son Chen Xi have no real estate under their name. This is their first house. They even put the house in the woman's name after a fake marriage, which is incredible.

Looking back on the feelings when he was in contact with Chen Jiahe, the father and son gave him a completely different impression.

Chen Xi and the others gave people a much more cramped feeling, unlike they had lived in a wealthy family since childhood. Chen Jiahe was completely different. Although the contact time was short, he could not judge his academic cultivation, but he clearly saw the confidence and stability of authentic Shanghai people.

Out of respect for Chen Jiahe's family, Chen Man did not tell Fu Jiaming or Hou Jingming immediately, but instead made an appointment with Chen Jiahe to see the house tomorrow.

In the afternoon, Chen Man was doing design in the company. Because she had already had ideas in her mind, she quickly made a draft of the design. She called Lawyer Zhang and asked her to help check Xu Suqing's information.

Lawyer Zhang’s interpersonal relationships are obviously much more mature than before. In less than half an hour, Lawyer Zhang sent the personal information of Xu Suqing and Chen Xi to Chen Man.

Seeing this, Chen Man became even more confused.

Except for both Xu Suqing and Chen Xi were born in Qianyin Village, Ningbo, they seemed to have no other relationship.

After Chen Xi went to the county town to attend middle school after junior high school. Although the living environment has improved, the county town is also a well-known poor county in the area.

Later, in the third year of junior high school, Chen Xi dropped out of school and followed his uncle to work as an apprentice in a local auto repair shop. This took seven or eight years. After Xu Suqing went to elementary school, she was forced to stay at home to farm. After that, she lived in Qianyin Village, and the two had no interaction at all.

Now it seems that some of Chen Man's doubts have been resolved at least. The two of them have not had a good living environment since childhood, so even if they wear brand-name clothes, it is difficult to hide their lack of confidence.

Moreover, after seeing Chen Jiahe, Chen Man also had some guesses in his heart. Chen Xi and the others were obviously rich suddenly. Now it seems that this is obviously inseparable from Chen Jiahe.

In an afternoon, Chen Man made a design draft and then sent it directly to Chen Xi.

Chen Xi was very happy and replied only a few words: "Yes, just follow this, build it as soon as possible, please contact Designer Chen."

The more Chen Xi seemed impatient, the stronger Chen Man's doubts became.

This made Chen Man very confused. Her professional qualities did not allow her to spy on the privacy of customers. However, from previous experience, Chen Man has suffered a lot of losses and she is eager to know the truth.

It had been a whole day, and Yang Liuqing had neither Chen Man nor Fu Jiaming, which made Hou Jingming and others nervous.

Hou Jing knew that once a woman was silent, she either died or exploded, but now it seems that the latter is obviously more likely.

The next morning, Chen Man went to the real estate trading center to check the property certificate provided by Chen Xi. Fortunately, the property certificate was real.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Chen Man met Chen Jiahe in Yunjin Oriental. Chen Man reminded Chen Jiahe by asking Chen Jiahe to read the design drafts that mutual trust between the two parties is the basis of cooperation. If the house is decorating quickly enough, mutual trust is the most basic.

As if he had prepared it in advance, Chen Jiahe took out a document from his bag and handed it to Chen Man, sighing and said, "Everyone said that designer Shen Da from Jianghai is famous for being meticulous. I have learned it today. I want to tell you something, but I hope you can keep it confidential for me."

Chen Man nodded, took the document from Chen Jiahe and understood it at a glance.

That was a diagnostic certificate. Chen Jiahe had cancer and was in advanced stage.

Chen Man didn't want to continue interrogating, but Chen Jiahe's words still made Chen Man open up: "Designer Chen, if you have any questions, just ask, I am a dying person and will not lie to you."

Chen Man also had too many questions in her heart and couldn't solve them, so she asked, "I was in Jianghai the day before yesterday, why didn't I go to Sands with my son?"

Chen Jiahe smiled reluctantly and said, "My identity is very special. Now there are many people staring at me. The further I am from them, the more beneficial it is to them. So..."

Chen Man remembered the household registration book provided by Chen Xi. The head of the household registration book was not Chen Jiahe, but a man named Xu Shengli. Chen Man guessed that Chen Jiahe and Chen Xi might be really a father and son who had been separated for many years, otherwise how could he not even have a household registration together?

Chen Jiahe simply said: "I came to Shanghai for half a lifetime of ups and downs decades ago, and only when I get old is a result. Chen Xi's mother died early, and I often traveled on business trips and couldn't take care of my son. Therefore, Chen Xi's household registration has always been in my younger brother's name. I have been taking care of Chen Xi for many years."

Chen Man almost understood, so he asked, "What's going on now?"

It can be seen that Chen Jiahe used a lot of effort to squeeze out a smiley face, paused for a long time, and finally said: "Don't mention it, designer Chen, please don't worry. There is no problem with the house. I just want to leave something for my son, that's all. I came here today to tell you that you can help me make decisions about the house in the future. My identity is quite special and I'm not suitable for showing up. Thank you."

Chen Man stopped asking questions, and she could see that Chen Jiahe had many difficulties that could not be explained.

Back to the third part, Chen Man sent the final design draft to Chen Xi, and Chen Xi quickly agreed.

Because it involves load-bearing walls, the layout of the two master bedrooms is very difficult, but Chen Man suddenly had a whim and thought of using the small courtyard space to make up for the master bedroom bathroom space.

She has made a survey on the spot that by simply opening the exterior wall of the south-facing master bedroom to the outside 60 cm, it can solve the problem of insufficient space in the master bedroom.

For this reason, Chen Man specially found the property department of the community. Because the outdoor yard was also stipulated when the house was sold, the price was not included, so the small yard was not a public space. As long as the design and construction did not violate relevant regulations, the property will not interfere.

Moreover, the exterior wall of the south-facing master bedroom is not a load-bearing wall, so there is no problem with design and construction.

The design draft was quickly passed. Chen Man knew that Chen Jiahe had not had much time left, so he personally sent the design draft to the construction department to communicate the next link.

"This case is quite special. Can you help me with an emergency?"

Chen Man said this, and Manager Lu of the Construction Department asked without thinking too much: "How fast do you want to?"

Chen Man replied happily: "The faster the better."
