mutual benefit [gl]

There is something in Chen Yuanzhen's words, and Cui Jinxian is indeed not an idle person.A pair of phoenix eyes raised slightly, facing Chen Yuanzhen's sharp eyes, she pursed her lips and smiled lightly, and said proactively:

"The two children are having fun, and you and I, adults, should also rest."

"Second sister-in-law said yes." Chen Yuanzhen smiled, "I saw it at the school gate just now. There are really not many parents like second sister-in-law who personally pick up and drop off their children. You should take a break."

After all, Chen Yuanzhen waved his hand in the distance, and two staff members trotted over immediately.

"Two of you, please help us look after the child, we are in the restaurant in front." Chen Yuanzhen ordered.

Then she turned around and made a gesture of invitation to Cui Jinxian.Cui Jinxian didn't say anything else, she smiled at Chen Yuanzhen, and then walked forward.

Chen Yuanzhen really worked hard this time. The dreamy restaurant decorated like an entire amusement park was empty at this time, and the warm-colored crystal chandelier flickered thinly in the empty room. As soon as Cui Jinxian stepped into the restaurant, she was greeted by a warm welcome. The wind dyed his face red.

"The weather isn't too cold now, but I saw that my second sister-in-law was already dressed so thickly. I wondered if my second sister-in-law was afraid of the cold, so I turned on the heating in advance to save my second sister-in-law from catching the cold again."

Standing behind Cui Jinxian, Chen Yuanzhen said softly.

"Yuan Zhen, you really have a heart." Cui Jinxian said softly, "In terms of taking care of others, you are much better than your second brother. I have been married to him for so long, and it is better than you observing me for more than ten minutes. "

The smile on Chen Yuanzhen's face faltered slightly, Cui Jinxian's eyes flickered coldly, and she spoke softly and kindly, but what she said was telling Chen Yuanzhen inside and out.

While you are observing me in the dark, I am also observing you.

"Second brother is usually busy with work, so if there is anything he can't take care of, second sister-in-law, please understand." After finishing speaking, the corner of Chen Yuanzhen's mouth curved again, "Let's sit first, talking standing up is really tiring."

"Oh, look at me, I'm so excited to chat with you that I forget to be tired."

The two talked and sat down with a smile. As soon as they were seated, a waiter came over and handed over two menus.

"Second sister-in-law, what do you want to see?"

Cui Jinxian turned her eyes and glanced at the menu in the waiter's hand, but she didn't answer it, but smiled at Chen Yuanzhen:

"Today we are just chatting. How can we talk if we have to eat again? Just serve me a cup of scented tea."

Chen Yuanzhen was not in a hurry, but Cui Jinxian was eager to get to the point.Chen Yuanzhen smiled in his heart, and didn't force himself any more, just following Cui Jinxian's wishes, and only ordered two cups of scented tea.

Seeing the waiter leaving with the menu, Chen Yuanzhen's hand was secretly stroking the cuff of the sweater, thinking in her heart how to start this conversation with Cui Jinxian.

Cui Jinxian was a difficult woman to deal with, and Chen Yuanzhen did not dare to take it lightly.

But this time, Cui Jinxian was ahead of Chen Yuanzhen again.

"I heard from Yuan Shuo that the old man handed over the medical project to you?"

Chen Yuanzhen was startled when she heard the words, she raised her eyes to look at Cui Jinxian, but saw that her face was full of spring breeze, and her smile was as gentle as the warm breeze in early spring.

"Congratulations, Yuan Zhen, you finally have the chance to prove yourself."

Chen Yuanzhen didn't expect Cui Jinxian to open the topic so abruptly. She was caught off guard by her, and when she was haha ​​thinking about how to answer, Cui Jinxian continued:

"Finally, I have a chance to prove myself... I can also become the heir of the Chen Group."

Chen Yuanzhen rubbed the sleeves subconsciously with force, and her fingernails dug out a small hole in the fine stitches of the sweater.

When Cui Jinxian said the word "heir", her voice was extremely soft, as if she was talking about the most common thing, but the coldness revealed in her eyes nailed on Chen Yuanzhen's face made Chen Yuanzhen clearly understand the situation in front of him. The woman in this woman is by no means a herbivorous rabbit.

It is a sharp and vicious cheetah.

"What did the second sister-in-law say?" Chen Yuanzhen said.

"The eldest brother was transferred away, and the second brother, as the deputy general manager, is only one step away from that position. The real power of the case in my hand is in the hands of that Gao Xiu. How can I be compared with the second brother?"

"Yuan Zhen, you are always like this." Cui Jinxian glanced down at the shining diamond ring on her ring finger, her tone was laziness.

"You always underestimate yourself so presumptuously...that I don't know whether you really underestimate yourself like this, or..."

Cui Jinxian raised her eyes, the smile on her face had completely disappeared.

"I still plan to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, and eat us to the bone while everyone is still dreaming."

"Second sister-in-law, what do you think?" Chen Yuanzhen met Cui Jinxian's eyes without fear.

"Who is it that traps everyone in the dream? Second sister-in-law, you should be the clearest, right? In the entire Chen family, the most sober person is second sister-in-law, right?"

Cui Jinxian's hands shrank subconsciously, and this little action naturally fell into Chen Yuanzhen's eyes.

The tone of Cui Jinxian just now was to test herself, but her tone of Chen Yuanzhen was definitely not a test.

It's a demonstration.

Cui Jinxian still has doubts about whether Chen Yuanzhen is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but Chen Yuanzhen has a real handle on her.

So even if Cui Jinxian was sure that Chen Yuanzhen was not a good person, she would definitely not dare to act rashly.

Cui Jinxian knew what kind of catastrophe she was facing once she was exposed to such a trick of surrogate birth under Chen Zhishan's nose.

The turbulent silence between the two lasted for less than half a minute before Cui Jinxian spoke first:

"It's the second sister-in-law's fault." She laughed, "It's the second sister-in-law who is narrow-minded and overthinking. Yuan Zhen, don't take it to heart, what I said just now, you just treat it as the second sister-in-law's nonsense, but Don't take it to heart."

"That can't be done," Chen Yuanzhen replied sullenly, and the smile on Cui Jinxian's face became a little stiff for a moment.

"unless……"

"Unless what?"

"Unless the second sister-in-law tells me why you married my second brother in the first place!"

After Chen Yuanzhen finished speaking, he grinned, no different from the heartless rich second generation in the eyes of outsiders in the past.

"This……"

Seeing Chen Yuanzhen's smiling face, Cui Jinxian didn't know what to say.

After a while, Cui Jinxian suddenly laughed.

"Yuan Zhen, you are 27 years old this year, but you really look like a child."

"Why, second sister-in-law, don't you want to say it?" Chen Yuanzhen frowned slightly, pretending to be angry.

"What can't be said? It's just that I didn't expect that you would not know." Cui Jinxian said softly.

"Of course! There were quite a few people who pursued you, Second Sister-in-law, and all of them were either rich or expensive. Where did my brother attract you?"

"Because among so many men, your second brother is the most promising one." Cui Jinxian replied.

Chen Yuanzhen was silent, waiting for Cui Jinxian to continue.

"For a marriage like you and me, you are lucky if you have a foundation of love, and it is normal to have no love. This kind of marriage is only maintained by a contract, but because it is a chaebol, this piece of paper is sometimes an iron wall. If you want to die, you have to die in it. So Yuan Zhen, look, how boring it is."

Speaking of this, Cui Jinxian laughed, but in Chen Yuanzhen's eyes, that smile seemed a little bleak.

"In such a boring marriage...if there is no love, then at least there must be hope. You are right, each of those men is very rich, but I know that the wealth and reputation their parents have accumulated for them is already full. For the rest of their lives, they only need to keep the mountains of gold and silver. Goals? Ambition? They don’t have it, and they don’t need it.”

"What about my second brother?" Chen Yuanzhen asked, "Do you think my second brother is the one who can give you hope?"

"He's not." Cui Jinxian replied with a very straightforward smile.

Chen Yuanzhen was stunned.

Looking at Cui Jinxian's calm face, Chen Yuanzhen couldn't utter a word for a moment.

"He's not." Cui Jinxian repeated.

"That……"

"But the Chen Group is."

Before Chen Yuanzhen could ask, Cui Jinxian interrupted her first.

"I know how many people in this group want to climb to the top. I know that for Yuan Shuo, he has a goal to pursue. And this is what I mean by hope."

"So...you mean, because the Chen family's internal strife is serious, so you..."

"Competition is the driving force of life, isn't it? As long as we live, the competition will not stop. A place without competition will sooner or later become a stagnant pool of stinking water. Maybe some people can accept soaking in it for a lifetime, but I no."

Cui Jinxian's voice was very soft, but every word was like a stone, falling hard on the ground one by one.

"Yuan Zhen,"

Chen Yuanzhen subconsciously looked at her.

"No matter how much you hide yourself, you can't change that fact."

"what?"

"You have the blood of the Chen family, you are the flesh and blood of the old man. There is a gene of fighting and biting in your body. You can't escape."

After Cui Jinxian finished speaking, she stood up slowly, picked up her bag, and turned around to leave, but just as she turned around, she stopped again, turned her head and smiled condescendingly at Chen Yuanzhen who was still sitting there:

"I'm waiting for the day you admit it."

The author has something to say: What kind of role will the second sister-in-law be?

Let's start tidying up the second brother!

It's hard to say which hole will be opened in the next book after this book is finished, I'll think about it...
