mutual benefit [gl]

The two looked back at each other, and Chen Yuanzhen saw Cui Jinxian's pale face due to the great panic, and then realized that he was also so frightened and at a loss.She secretly pinched her leg and forced herself to calm down.

"Chen Yuanzhen, you have quick hands and feet." Cui Jinxian said in a trembling voice while clutching the phone tightly.

"Chen Yuanshuo said that the old man was both surprised and delighted when he saw the child. Obviously he didn't know the existence of the child beforehand... You are really willing to let it go!"

Chen Yuanzhen was taken aback when he heard the words.

Chen Zhishan was both surprised and delighted?

Wasn't this child taken away by Chen Zhishan?

If Ji Xu wasn't brought home by the old man, then...

A burst of cold sweat broke out on Chen Yuanzhen's back.

"I didn't realize that you could do this!" Cui Jinxian gritted her teeth, picked up her bag and left in a hurry.

Perhaps because she was too frightened, she didn't notice that Chen Yuanzhen was as frightened as she was just now.

Cui Jinxian slammed the door of the private room, and Chen Yuanzhen bent down to pick up the mobile phone on the ground.

She immediately called Zhou Ming.

"Go to Ji Cixi's place right now!"

"boss."

Zhou Ming's voice was accompanied by piercing murmurs, which made his own voice difficult to hear and uncomfortable.

Chen Yuanzhen frowned and said, "What are you doing now, the noise is so loud?"

"In fact..." Zhou Ming paused for a moment, as if he was considering how to word it.After about ten seconds, he said with difficulty:

"Actually, I'm near the chairman's house now."

"You are near his house?!" Chen Yuanzhen was surprised when he heard that, "What are you doing there?!"

"I……"

Before Zhou Ming could answer, Chen Yuanzhen hung up the phone.

She took things casually, and without even caring about putting on her coat, she rushed straight outside the restaurant door, into the cold wind outside the door.

She ran all the way to the parking lot to pick up the car, and while starting the car, she called Ji Cixi.

The busy tone in the receiver did not ring a few times before the phone was picked up. Before Ji Cixi could speak, Chen Yuanzhen roared angrily:

"Ji Cixi, are you crazy?!"

Then there was the sound of Chen Yuanzhen's undulating and intense breathing.

After Chen Yuanzhen yelled this sentence, Ji Cixi did not speak immediately, but remained silent for nearly 20 seconds, waiting for Chen Yuanzhen to calm down.

"You should be driving now."

Ji Cixi spoke.

"If this is the case, I suggest you stop and calm down first, otherwise it will be dangerous."

"Dangerous?! What are you telling me about danger?!" Chen Yuanzhen yelled angrily at the bluetooth headset.

"Let me ask you, Ji Xu, did you send it to the Chen family?"

"Yes."

"Okay. You contacted Zhou Ming, right? You asked Zhou Ming to help you send the child there. The two of you cooperated really well? Huh? You even discussed such a big matter..."

"I'm too late." Ji Cixi interrupted.

"Ji Xu came home with a new scarf wrapped around his neck. Before I could ask, Ji Xu asked me first."

"Ask you? Ask you what?" Although Chen Yuanzhen was still angry, he did not completely lose his mind.

"He asked me who my aunt was."

Chen Yuanzhen was taken aback for a while, and after a while, she tried to suppress her anger, and asked in a calm tone as much as possible:

"Aunt? Ji Xu told you...Aunt?"

"The child said that the teacher gave him this scarf. The teacher told him that it was a gift from his aunt."

Chen Yuanzhen's hand holding the steering wheel gradually tightened.

"Su Zhenzhen doesn't have that much time to be involved in scandals. The only one who can do this is your second sister-in-law."

"And she announced to you and me in this way that she knew about Ji Xu's existence, which proves that your second brother doesn't know. Otherwise, with your second brother's temper, what he should show me is Ji Xu's body."

"So..." Chen Yuanzhen gritted his teeth and said.

"So I know that your second sister-in-law's purpose is to rely on the child to contain you. Moreover, your second brother will know where the child is sooner or later. If... your second brother will find out before you solve your second sister-in-law Where the child is, I have no ability to keep him."

"Do you know... what kind of guy my father is?"

"I know." Ji Cixi replied decisively and calmly.

"Then you should know... how terrible it would be if Ji Xu followed such a person."

"Isn't there still you?" Ji Cixi said.

"Because you are here. I believe you will protect Ji Xu desperately, so I dare to use Ji Xu to protect you from being restrained by your second sister-in-law. You protect Ji Xu, and I protect you. This is fair. "

"However, you are taking too much risk..."

"Instead of letting Ji Xu follow a powerless person like me, it's better to let him follow your father. At least, in that family, your brother still doesn't dare to act rashly."

Even though Chen Yuanzhen was heartbroken, her reason told her that Ji Cixi did nothing wrong.

Under the current situation, Ji Cixi made the most correct choice.

While Chen Yuanzhen was still struggling in pain, she heard Ji Cixi speak again, but this time, Ji Cixi's voice no longer sounded so calm and rational, she heard Ji Cixi's trembling voice.

"Let me ask you, did I help you by doing this..."

Gritting his teeth, Chen Yuanzhen squeezed out the word yes.

"Okay. Then listen... As we said before, the relationship between me and you is to use each other."

"What do you want to say."

"My request...First, Ji Xu must be safe there. Second..."

Ji Cixi bit her trembling lips, a faint smell of rust gradually spread in her mouth.

"Before, I didn't tell Ji Xu what kind of scum his biological father was so that Ji Xu's life wouldn't be full of pain like my sister's. But that doesn't mean I don't hate him, so my request is ...In this life, that scumbag will never dream of hearing Ji Xu call him father. This...can you guarantee it?"

Hearing this sentence, Chen Yuanzhen felt like ten thousand ants were eating her heart. She couldn't imagine how painful and helpless Ji Cixi was at this moment.

What Ji Cixi said was right, once Chen Yuanshuo also found out about Ji Xu's existence, he would definitely not keep that child alive.

"I...promise you. I assure you that I will do whatever you ask for. "

"Better. You... don't let me down."

After finishing speaking, Ji Cixi ended the call.

At this time, she was sitting on Ji Xu's bed, looking at everything in his room.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and it was all she could do to keep them from falling.

Sending Ji Xu away is not only for Ji Xu and Chen Yuanzhen, but also for my sister.

When making this decision, Ji Cixi didn't know whether it was right or wrong, but for the sake of her sister's only child, she had no choice.

Just the moment Ji Xu was taken away by Zhou Ming, she fell into deep regret.It's just that this kind of regret is also mixed with helplessness and powerlessness.

Now she can only pin all her hopes on Chen Yuanzhen, hoping that she can really protect Ji Xu in that treacherous home.

It was already past eight in the evening when Chen Yuanzhen drove to Chen's house, and she almost ran into the house carrying a lot of bags.

As soon as she entered, she yelled loudly.

"I hear I have a nephew? Where is it?"

Walking into the living room, Chen Yuanzhen immediately saw Ji Xu sitting next to Chen Zhishan, and Chen Yuanshuo and Cui Jinxian were sitting beside him.

"This is my little nephew, right?" Chen Yuanzhen threw the shopping bag in his hand and came directly towards Ji Xu.

Ji Xu looked up at her, Chen Yuanzhen was still a little guilty, afraid that the child had slipped up.But unexpectedly, after Ji Xu glanced at her, he stood up and ran behind Kang Yun, looking at her with fearful eyes.

Chen Yuanzhen didn't say anything, but he said in his heart that this kid is really an actor.

"How decent is it to be reckless?" Chen Zhishan said, he glanced at the bag on the ground, glanced at her, and said, "Even if the sky falls, you won't be able to stop your squandering."

Only then did Chen Yuanzhen restrain himself, and greeted his father and aunt politely, and then she also sat aside.

"Why is sister-in-law so excited?" Cui Jinxian asked with a smile.

Chen Yuanzhen looked at Cui Jinxian when she heard the words, she knew there was something in Cui Jinxian's words, and she deliberately said this to arouse Chen Zhishan's suspicion.

"How can I not be excited?" Chen Yuanzhen looked at her and smiled, then she turned around and walked in front of Ji Xu, bent down and pinched Ji Xu's face.He turned his head to look at Cui Jinxian again.

"How great is the mother of this child, who can give birth to this child and take such good care of her."

Chen Yuanzhen deliberately used the accent on the word "birth", Cui Jinxian shuddered and remained silent.

After finishing Cui Jinxian, Chen Yuanzhen looked at Chen Zhishan and asked, "What's the name of this child?"

"Single name, one word." Kang Yu spoke first, probably because she was too happy to see her grandson, and her tone of voice to Chen Yuanzhen was much better.

"Xu?" Chen Yuanzhen looked at Ji Xu again, Ji Xu lowered his head and didn't look at her, probably because he was afraid that if he made eye contact with Chen Yuanzhen, people would see his flaws.

"Does this child have no last name?"

"What kind of stupid question are you asking?" Chen Zhishan asked leisurely.

"The grandson of the Chen family isn't named Chen, what's the name?"

Chen Yuanzhen stood up when he heard the sound, bowed his head and said, "You have already found out? This child..."

"Zhao Special Assistant has brought doctors and nurses to take samples just now." Chen Yuanshuo said.

Before Chen Yuanshuo finished his sentence, Kang Yun continued: "I think it's almost the same. This child looks exactly the same as Yuan Yang when he was a child. What's more, this child came with a pair of rings."

ring……

Chen Yuanzhen remembered that it was the ring she returned to Ji Cixi when she was abroad.

And now, she brought both rings over!

Of course she understood how important these two rings of her sister were to Ji Cixi... But in order to protect her and Ji Xu, Ji Cixi didn't care.

Chen Yuanzhen's heart felt sour, she still remembered that Ji Xu told herself that Ji Cixi didn't seem to like him very much.He is still too young, so he will not understand how much his aunt loves him.

"Then elder brother..." Chen Yuanzhen secretly glanced at Chen Zhishan, "Elder brother, has he received the news?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Chen Yuanzhen said this, all the people in the audience fell silent, and the servants standing beside them also looked at each other in blank dismay, and then left quietly.

Looking at this state, Chen Yuanzhen knew that the family was still undecided about whether to let Chen Yuanyang go home to see the child.

Especially Chen Yuanshuo and his wife.

Once the old man asked Chen Yuanyang to go home to take care of the children, it meant that as Ji Xu's father, Chen Yuanyang had a great chance to return to the core power circle of the Chen Group.

It took so much effort to kick Chen Yuanyang out of the circle, Chen Yuanshuo and his wife couldn't be reconciled anyway.

But in the current situation, everything has to be decided by Chen Zhishan.

As for Chen Yuanzhen, naturally he did not want Chen Yuanyang to return.

But she will not let Chen Yuanshuo and his wife get their wish.

Her moist lips pursed into a smile.

"How did you find your way to grandparents?" She knelt down and asked Ji Xu who was sitting on the sofa.

"Um……"

Ji Xu muttered for a moment, then took out a crumpled note from his pocket.

The address of the Chen family mansion was printed on the paper.

"The people who raised me said... I can only be safe here. Because," he looked up at Chen Zhishan and Kang Lin.

"Because this is my grandparents' home."

As soon as Chen Yuanzhen heard it, she knew it was taught by Ji Cixi to Ji Xu, and couldn't help but secretly praised her for being smart.

"Safe?" She sensitively captured the bones in Ji Xu's words, so she deliberately glanced at Chen Yuanshuo and his wife, and said with a sneer:

"Listen to you, is someone trying to harm you?"

Ji Xu nodded seriously.

"Oops—" Chen Yuanzhen scratched the bridge of Ji Xu's nose with a smile, pretending to be joking, and said with a light smile, "How old are you, little brat, to say such things?"

"It's true!" Ji Xu suddenly raised his voice.

"The person who raised me said, she said, if I don't come to my grandparents, maybe, maybe..."

"What might happen?" Chen Zhishan asked.

"Maybe...may die..."

After Ji Xu spoke in a low voice, he lowered his head and remained silent.

Chen Yuanzhen didn't say anything, even though she turned her back to Chen Yuanshuo and others, she could still feel their condensed atmosphere.

Sure enough, the Chen family are all born with acting skills. Although they have never lived in the Chen family, they still have the blood of the Chen family. Ji Xu is also good at acting.

"This word..."

After a while, Chen Zhishan finally spoke again.

"The person who raised you told you this?"

Ji Xu didn't speak, but Chen Yuanzhen's heart was already in his throat.

"That person, can you tell who grandpa is?"

As if his heart had been hit by a heavy hammer, Chen Yuanzhen secretly clenched his fists, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his back.

She looked up at Ji Xu, as if hoping to get some comfort from the child's eyes, but Ji Xu didn't look at her.

"I can't say it." Ji Xu said firmly, "If I say it, she will die too!"

"She said that if the person who wanted to kill me knew who she was, he would definitely not let her go!"

While talking, Ji Xu actually started to cry.

Kang Lin felt sorry for his grandson, so he hurriedly stood up and walked over to take Ji Xu into his arms, and patted him on the back with his hands.

A big stone fell in his heart, and Chen Yuanzhen looked at Chen Yuanshuo and his wife who had a bad face. Seeing the embarrassment of the two of them, Chen Yuanzhen sneered secretly, and then added embellishment:

"Look at scaring this kid. I really don't know who Eldest Brother has offended on weekdays. Alas," she said, looking at Chen Yuanshuo, and said with a smile, "If only Eldest Brother was the same as Second Brother."

Being called out suddenly, Chen Yuanshuo suddenly raised his head to look at Chen Yuanzhen, forced a smile, and said nothing.

"Boss is out of town right now, so it's inconvenient to come here. What's more, his ex-daughter-in-law's affairs are enough for him. Let's not talk to him about the child's return." Until now, Chen Zhishan finally made a decision.

"Then this child..." Chen Yuanshuo said, he wanted to ask Ji Xu how to raise him now.

"I think it's better to let my sister-in-law take this child back." Cui Jinxian said first.

"I see that my sister-in-law and this child also hit it off. My sister-in-law usually lives alone. Doesn't that house have empty rooms?"

Chen Yuanzhen looked at Cui Jinxian, and Cui Jinxian even smiled at her.

This woman is really troublesome.

"I said Second Sister-in-law, aren't you hurting me?" Chen Yuanzhen shot back.

"I……"

Before Cui Jinxian could finish speaking, Chen Yuanzhen interrupted: "A few days ago, a big rumor about me was exposed on the Internet. I haven't even had time to fight this lawsuit. You want me to raise a child?"

After Chen Yuanzhen finished speaking, he turned and looked at Chen Zhishan.

"Second sister-in-law is indeed right. I have a big house, so raising a child is not a problem. But if this is seen again, and then the Internet says that I am pregnant before marriage, how bad will it be for Chen?"

After she finished speaking, she muttered again.

"Isn't it enough to file a lawsuit?"

Chen Yuanzhen knew what Cui Jinxian was planning.She intends to let Ji Xu and Chen Yuanzhen be together. With the old man's suspicious character, if this child who currently has absolute inheritance rights gets too close to Chen Yuanzhen, then it is absolutely impossible for Chen Yuanzhen to stay in the upper class of the Chen family.

But Ji Xu didn't have Chen Yuanzhen's protection, and Chen Yuanyang was far away, so how could this child be her husband's opponent?

"I--"

Cui Jinxian was about to say something more, but before she could say anything, she heard Chen Zhishan growl.

"Shut me all up!"

As soon as Chen Zhishan gave the order, everyone present shook their heads and bowed their heads in silence.

"What's the point of being noisy?"

Looking around at the crowd, Chen Zhishan waved his hands, and Kang Yun who was holding Ji Xu's arms at the side immediately understood, and walked to Chen Zhishan holding Ji Xu's hand.

"This kid won't go anywhere." He said slowly.

"He's staying here, not going anywhere. Do you understand?"

No one dared to speak.

"Mother Zhang." Chen Zhishan called the nanny over, "Is the room tidied up?"

Zhang Ma nodded and said, "It's all packed, sir."

Chen Zhishan nodded, looked at the crowd and said:

"I called you here today to let you recognize it clearly. As for where and how to raise this child, it is not something you can interfere with. And..."

Chen Zhishan raised his face and closed his eyes, no longer looking at the crowd.

"Boss finally stopped in the field for a while. If anyone leaks the news about the kid's return..."

His falcon-like eyes opened suddenly, cold light scattered everywhere.

"That person will go over there and replace the boss."
