mutual benefit [gl]

The dark cloud hanging over the Affiliated Hospital of S University has not yet dissipated.

Li Canghua's daughter declined the autopsy, signed a document in front of the police confirming that the cause of her father's death was suicide, and hurried away on the phone.

She only became the director of the Department of Nephrology at the Affiliated Hospital of S University the year before last. The person who originally sat in this position was assigned because of the grievances between Vice President Cao and Vice President Dong, so she was able to take the position.

But this position has not yet been secured by him, and this happened to his father.Her father's death brought her more than shock and grief.She didn't even have time to take care of her father's death itself - after all, she couldn't protect herself now.

At this time, Chen Yuanshuo, who was reading news reports in front of the computer, couldn't help showing a sneer.

On the screen, Chen Yuanzhen left in a hurry, even to outsiders, she felt a sense of embarrassment when she left in such a hurry and silently.

Chen Yuanshuo is now gloating a little.

Even if he is allowed to take over the medical case now, he probably still has to consider whether it is really worth stepping in this quagmire.

The more Chen Yuanshuo thought about it, the happier he became, and the curvature of the corner of his mouth could not be restrained.He took off the gold-rimmed glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose, put his hands behind his head, and leaned his whole body on the seat.

At this time, there was a light knock on his door.He replied and came in, and his wife Cui Jinxian came in with a cup of hot milk and a plate of snacks.

"Are you hungry?" Cui Jinxian walked up to him, put down her things and asked softly.

"Don't tell me." Chen Yuanshuo laughed, "I'm really hungry."

As he spoke, he rolled up his shirt sleeves and leaned forward to pick up a piece of snack.

"What you said last time was really good. Chen Yuanzhen really wants to get himself involved in this case."

Cui Jinxian remained calm, just smiled and watched her husband eat a snack, and handed him a tissue.

"Listen to you, something happened to my sister-in-law?"

"Come and take a look." Chen Yuanshuo said as he motioned Cui Jinxian to come to him, and clicked on the news report again.

People's schadenfreude is something that can't be concealed. Even if it doesn't show on the expression, the smell of secret joy that exudes from the whole body can't be hidden no matter what.

Cui Jinxian was about to walk over, but suddenly felt the phone in her pants pocket vibrate slightly.She raised her slender eyebrows, turned off her cell phone in secret, and walked over to Chen Yuanshuo with a smile on her face.

She watched Chen Yuanzhen walking in a hurry in the video, without the gloating expression of Chen Yuanshuo.

Cui Jinxian watched the entire video calmly, and after expressing her congratulations to her husband with a smile, she walked out of the study on the pretext of sending her child to class.

She returned to her room, closed the door after making sure no one was around, and locked another lock.Then he turned and leaned against the door, and took out his phone.

"I guessed it was you." Cui Jinxian smiled into the phone's microphone.

"Even if you don't look for me, I will look for you. It is indeed time for us to talk."

After hanging up the phone, Cui Jinxian made another call almost without a pause.

"It's me. It's cold now,"

Cui Jinxian plucked the broken hair from her ear and smiled sweetly.

"Give the child a scarf, just say...it's a gift from the child's aunt."

After hanging up the phone again, Cui Jinxian raised her head and looked around herself, her eyes finally fell on the photo frame on the bedside table.

In the photo frame is a photo of her, her child and Chen Yuanshuo, which was taken on the child's first birthday.

In the photo, she and her two children are sitting on the sofa, while Chen Yuanshuo is standing behind her.

In that photo, she was holding Chen Yuanshuo's hand backwards.

On the second day after taking this photo, Chen Zhishan sent a letter to her father's office.

"Forgive the memory of the legacy, and believe in the impermanence of the destiny." ①

Cui Jinxian was no fool, she voluntarily resigned from her position in the Chen Group after a week, and asked Chen Zhishan to go home and take care of the children.

In the blink of an eye, she had been away from the workplace for many years.

Looking at the photo, the smile on the corner of Cui Jinxian's mouth gradually froze, and then she closed her eyes, immersed in her personal emotions.

After opening her eyes again, Cui Jinxian gradually revealed a sly sneer.

The high heels under her feet made a patchwork "da, da" sound, she walked to the bed, bent down and put her hands on the photo frame.

Then she exerted strength with her hand, and she pressed the photo frame on the table.

"It's time to repay you."

At six o'clock in the evening, Cui Jinxian showed up on time in the private room of the restaurant where she had made an appointment with Chen Yuanzhen.

When Cui Jinxian arrived, Chen Yuanzhen had already arrived.

"Yuan Zhen came so early?" Cui Jinxian sat down opposite Chen Yuanzhen. She looked at Chen Yuanzhen and saw that she was dressed in black, so she said:

"You have worked hard these days."

Chen Yuanzhen smiled and picked up the teapot on the table to pour water for Cui Jinxian, but the waiter who was waiting at the side of the private room stepped forward, but Chen Yuanzhen waved his hand to stop him.

"You all go out, there is no need for anyone here."

The two waiters were also able to read their words and expressions. Seeing that the two were dressed in extraordinary clothes, they knew that they were probably going to talk about something important when they turned away from others, so they walked quite quickly when they left.

Cui Jinxian didn't say much when she saw this, she just took a sip of tea from her teacup and smiled without saying a word.

"From the tone of the second sister-in-law's phone, it seems that she knows what I want to tell you?" Chen Yuanzhen asked with a smile.

Cui Jinxian paused the hand holding the teacup when she heard the words, she raised her eyelids and looked at Chen Yuanzhen, and saw that although her face was full of smiles, her eyes were as sharp as a leopard's, so she put down the teacup, raised her head and said with a smile:

"Second sister-in-law is not a fool."

After Cui Jinxian finished speaking, she picked up the bag on the side, took out a few photos from it and handed them to Chen Yuanzhen.

In the photo is a pregnant foreign woman.

"This is probably what Yuan Zhen wanted to talk about. The second sister-in-law doesn't need you to talk about it. I'll show you what the surrogate mother looks like today."

Chen Yuanzhen glanced at the photo and let out a cold snort.

She raised her eyes and said, "Second sister-in-law is a cheerful person."

"You said that," Cui Jinxian pursed her lips and smiled, "Second sister-in-law is not the same as the one from the Su family. Yuan Zhen, you look down on me so much, I'm a little disappointed."

Although Chen Yuanzhen knew that Cui Jinxian was extraordinary, he did not expect that she would directly shake off this matter today.

The reason Cui Jinxian dares to show off her power in front of her now is definitely because she has something else in her hands.

And that thing is very important to me.

Chen Yuanzhen's heart sank when she thought of this, she still underestimated Cui Jinxian before.

"Since you've already seen my secret, it's only fair that the second sister-in-law should also see your secret, don't you think?"

"My secret?" Chen Yuanzhen raised his eyebrows, "Are you talking about my secret?"

Cui Jinxian was not annoyed, and kept her gentle tone.

"Your mind is still a bit too aggressive. It is a good thing for young people to be unafraid of tigers as newborn calves, but it is reckless to be blind and bold when things happen."

After finishing speaking, Cui Jinxian took out her mobile phone, and after playing with it for a while, she called up a photo of a scarf and showed it to Chen Yuanzhen.

"Look at Yuan Zhen, what's the color of this scarf?"

Seeing this, Chen Yuanzhen glanced at the scarf. It was a blue woolen scarf, which seemed to be for children.

She had some doubts about what Cui Jinxian meant, but in an instant, she became stiff as if struck by a thunderstorm.The chill instantly spread from the fingertips to the whole body.

really,

In the next second, Chen Yuanzhen heard Cui Jinxian's voice that sounded like he was muttering to himself.

"I don't know if Ji Xu would like such a scarf..." She said, slowly raising her eyes to look at Chen Yuanzhen.

"After all, this is my aunt's first gift."

She smiled and watched Chen Yuanzhen's face turn pale little by little, and her smile deepened little by little.

"Second sister-in-law's children are all daughters, so I really don't know...what would a little boy like."

Only now did Chen Yuanzhen finally understand what happened to the photo of the blue scarf that Ji Xu sent him an hour ago.

"Yuan Zhen, are you okay?" Cui Jinxian asked with a smile.

"Looking at you, you seem to be very surprised... How would I know that I still have such a little nephew. Is it?"

Chen Yuanzhen clenched his fist subconsciously.

"Well...how should I put it?"

Cui Jinxian's smile began to disappear bit by bit, and in the end, she became expressionless.

"You seem to feel that you have everyone in your hands."

Chen Yuanzhen took a deep breath, and then slowly opened his mouth after stabilizing his emotions.

"So, why didn't you tell Chen Yuanshuo?"

Sure enough, when Chen Yuanzhen said this, Cui Jinxian was slightly taken aback.

"You dare to do the trick of surrogacy. I thought Chen Yuanshuo was completely obedient to you. Now I know that you also have something to hide from him."

She saw that Cui Jinxian's expression became a little unnatural.

"Oh? It seems that I have really grasped the fate of your husband and wife." Chen Yuanzhen sneered.

"Surrogate pregnancy is fine, because you know that this matter is not enough to drive Chen Yuanshuo crazy. Well, that's right. Even if it is a surrogate pregnancy, it is your and his child after all, so it's fine if he bears it... But,"

She looked into Cui Jinxian's eyes.

"But if he knows, you found the child that scares him the most without telling him, and you know that if he finds out about it, you two are finished. So, you only use this as a bargaining chip to threaten me. Right? ?”

"So what?" Cui Jinxian shot back.

"Don't you also understand that as long as you tell the old man about the surrogacy, I will be kicked out. But you also didn't say it?!"

Chen Yuanzhen didn't speak any more.

"You came to me today because you want to threaten me unilaterally, don't you? Just like relying on Su Zhenzhen to contain Chen Yuanyang back then, you want to rely on me to contain Chen Yuanshuo, right?"

"It's just that you didn't expect that your handle will also be in my hands. So you are actually very flustered now, and you don't know how to deal with me at all, don't you?"

"So what do you want to do, second sister-in-law? Since you came here to talk to me, you must have a plan in mind. At this point, you might as well just say it."

After hearing what she most wanted to hear, Cui Jinxian finally laughed again.

"It's so boring to say that we are keeping each other in check. How about we benefit from each other?"

"Oh?"

"I'll help you keep the secret, and you help me keep the secret. I can help you bring down Chen Yuanshuo, but after that, if you get the Chen family, I must enter the core of the Chen family."

After Cui Jinxian finished speaking, she stared firmly into Chen Yuanzhen's eyes, and stared at her for a moment, and Chen Yuanzhen burst out laughing.

"The fangs are finally exposed, Second Sister-in-law." Chen Yuanzhen looked Cui Jinxian up and down as he spoke, "I didn't realize that Second Sister-in-law looks weak, but you are a jackal in your bones."

Cui Jinxian also laughed, her just smile on her pretty face made her look as gentle and virtuous as ever.

"In this respect, Yuan Zhen and I are each other."

"But what if I disagree?" Chen Yuanzhen suppressed his smile as he spoke, and looked up at Cui Jinxian.

"Do you really have the guts?" Cui Jinxian smiled, "Compared to your nature of hiding the grandchildren of Chen's parents, my affairs are nothing more than a teacup storm. What's more, even if the old man is really angry and wants to kick me out, you My brother will protect me with all his might. But you, what does it mean that you hide the old man's eldest grandson?"

"mean,"

Cui Jinxian stood up and walked to Chen Yuanzhen's side, bent down and whispered in her ear,

"You're not a fool."

As she spoke, she slowly raised her eyes to look at Chen Yuanzhen's exquisite jawline, "You know best... what the old man hates. Your goals and plans will all be wiped out the moment you are kicked out of the Chen family... ...Of course, including that Miss Ji."

"I'm warning you." Chen Yuanzhen turned to look at Cui Jinxian, "Don't try to trick that woman. That woman is now Gao Xiu's assistant. If you dare to touch her, you are setting yourself up as an enemy."

"Don't worry," Cui Jinxian snorted coldly.

"Gao Xiu might feel underestimated because of Chen Yuanshuo's handling of that Miss Ji, but if that person did it himself...Gao Xiu would not dare to speak too much."

"you!"

"So what, do you choose to help each other with me, or..."

However, before Cui Jinxian finished speaking, Chen Yuanzhen's cell phone rang, and at the same time, Cui Jinxian felt her cell phone start to vibrate.

The two looked at each other, and Cui Jinxian immediately stood up straight and took out her phone.

It was Chen Yuanshuo's call.

On Chen Yuanzhen's side, it was a call from the Chen family mansion.

Chen Yuanzhen glanced at Cui Jinxian who was answering the phone with his back turned to him, pursed his lips, and pressed the connect button.

"Miss San, sir wants you to go home right away." The Chen family's nanny Zhang Ma said.

"Did father say something?"

Upon hearing this, Mama Zhang looked back at Ji Xu who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, and the two elders of the Chen family who were overjoyed

She lowered her voice but couldn't contain the excitement in her voice.

"It's the young master who has returned home!"

"pat"

Chen Yuanzhen's cell phone fell to the ground at that moment.
