Tang Hongbo paused for a moment, as if he made a great decision, and said slowly.

After Chen Yiran heard this, he was startled for a moment. Then, with a swoosh, he stood up from his chair and asked half-excitedly and half-incredulously.

Chen Yiran calmed his agitated mood, and then sat down. He suppressed the desire to hug Tang Hongbo, and calmly asked.

This time, it was Tang Hongbo who looked at him with interest.

"Mr. Chen is indeed an exquisite and transparent person."

Chen Yiran lowered his head and laughed.

"Just take it as a compliment. It's not that I'm well-versed in it, it's just that I know that Boss Tang has always paid attention to 'courtesies' when doing things, isn't that so?" Chen Yiran purposely emphasized the words "act of courtesy".

"Hmm, looks like it's true. It's not as if we don't belong in the same family." The corner of Tang Hongbo's mouth rose.

"Speak, what conditions?" Chen Yiran asked.

"I need someone to help me register for a company. I'll pay for it, but I can't use my name. Everything in this company can't be related to me. Are you willing to help me?" Tang Hongbo suddenly asked.

Chen Yiran immediately became alert.

"What do you want to do?"

"You know, I've only ever spoken frankly to allies. However, since you're one of us, I don't plan on hiding anything from you. I need this company to operate from behind my back. My only goal is the Duan Clan." When Tang Hongbo talked about the Duan Clan, his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Duan Clan?" "What do you mean?" Chen Yiran was still puzzled.

"I promised Xi Xi that I would use the Duan Clan as her betrothal gift. Originally, I planned to buy them directly, but after yesterday, I suddenly changed my mind and thought that buying them directly would be too easy for them." Tang Hongbo said hatefully.

Chen Yiran looked at Tang Hongbo, and he became even more confused. Based on his understanding of Chen Xi, she was not that kind of person. She would not ask him for such a big betrothal gift, why would it be the Duan Clan?

"Xi Xi, she..."

Tang Hongbo seemed to have seen through Chen Yiran's thoughts, and interrupted him as he explained.

"Do you still remember what I said just now, that I know who harmed Xi Xi three years ago?"

Chen Yiran nodded.

"It's Duan Wenyu." Tang Hongbo's eyes dimmed, gnashed his teeth, and spat out the word 'Duan Wenyu'.

"Duan Wenyu? This name is so familiar, could it be that woman I saw before? " Chen Yiran muttered.

"You know her?" Tang Hongbo's eyes darkened once again.

"No, I've only met him a few times. From the looks of it, he's not a good person." Chen Yiran replied.

"Then you still have to do this." Tang Hongbo said.

"Why? Also, why would she want to harm Xi Xi? " That was what he was most concerned about.

Tang Hongbo was silent for a moment, and then slowly spat out these three words.

"Because of me."

Chen Yiran looked at him with a baffled expression, waiting for his explanation.

"Aren't you going to explain?" Seeing him unmoved, Chen Yiran could not help but ask.

Tang Hongbo knew that since she needed his help, she couldn't hide this matter from him.

"Because..."

Chen Yiran quietly listened to Tang Hongbo's explanation, he suddenly frowned, he was suddenly enraged, and his grief was difficult to quell.

You should know it better than me, you know it already, so we have been separated for three years. I waited for her to come back day and night like this, and I can't deny that I did something wrong, but I will use the rest of my life to make up for it. Tang Hongbo said.

After Chen Yiran finished listening, he slammed his palm on the table in the garden.

"What a malicious woman. She has such a vicious heart, I really wonder why Boss Tang chose her as your fiancee." Chen Yiran was a little angry, but he was also blaming Tang Hongbo for not settling this matter properly, which was why he had caused Chen Xi to suffer so much. How could Tang Hongbo not know, it was just that there was no meaning in saying all this now.

"Actually, she wasn't like this before, she was a bit willful before, but her temper wasn't so bad that it would reach such a degree. After all, it's my fault, I admit, but she was wrong because she shouldn't have understood her thoughts. Tang Hongbo slowly said.

"If you know, why didn't you remove the tumor from the beginning? You let her grow up as she pleases, did you know that it was your indulgence that allowed her to walk this road of no return, thereby harming Xi Xi. When she had the illusion of love towards you, you should have even stopped her, not allowed her to find an excuse to stay by your side. " Chen Yiran said somewhat angrily.

At that time, I was only concerned with Xi Xi's feelings, and was afraid that she wouldn't be able to take it if she found out, but I didn't think that it would still harm her, but it's meaningless to say this now, I just want her to pay the price that she should have. Tang Hongbo said with a gloomy face.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Chen Yiran asked.

"I have to." Tang Hongbo said hatefully.

"But, didn't you say that Xi Xi is the Duan Clan's daughter? If you do this, will she? " Chen Yiran was afraid that he would hurt Chen Xi again.

"Do you think that the Duan Clan treats Xi Xi as their daughter at all? If they do, I would never do that." Tang Hongbo snorted.

"That's true. Although I have never participated in Xi Xi's past, I will definitely protect Xi Xi's future." Chen Yiran smiled.

"Thank you." Tang Hongbo's sudden thanks caused him to be startled.

"Your thanks are a bit too early. I really want to help you, but you know that I don't know anything about business." Chen Yiran shrugged helplessly.

Tang Hongbo lowered his head and laughed.

"This is what I want to tell you next. From today onwards, you will report to the company everyday, and then I will have Secretary Wang teach you, that in half a month, we will begin to implement our plan. Is there a problem?"

Chen Yiran looked at him in disbelief.

"Half a month? You can't even learn a single thing in half a month, can you? And it's going to be the new year in half a month. "

"It's enough to deal with them. This year's event will be very lively." Tang Hongbo smiled evilly.

Chen Yiran laughed, and then thought of something and asked.

"Why do you want me to do this?"

"Because I know that you and I both care about Xi Xi. What's more …" Tang Hongbo said as he stood up from his chair, straightened his clothes, and then continued with a faint smile.

"Because I have your wife and children." Tang Hongbo did not wait for him to answer and turned to walk inside the house.

Hearing this, Chen Yiran hissed, and then involuntarily laughed as he shook his head.

Tang Hongbo suddenly turned around and said seriously.

"Right, other than me, don't tell anyone else about this, even Qingxia can't do it. "Your good brother." Tang Hongbo paused for a moment, before slowly uttering the last few words.

As before, Chen Yiran did not wait, he replied and left.

No matter how stupid Chen Yiran was, he knew who Tang Hongbo was saying the last few words.

Why did he feel slightly sorry for Han Hao?

Chen Yiran could not help but laugh bitterly, was it because of Tang Hongbo or Chen Xi? He was feeling a little annoyed in his heart.

After all, Han Hao had been good friends with him for many years.

"Hey, why are you standing here by yourself?" Meng Qingxia slapped his shoulder, interrupting his thoughts.

Chen Yiran turned around to see it was Meng Qingxia and couldn't help but look at her with a gentle gaze. Then, he grabbed her and placed her on his shoulder and used a strong force to spin her around before pulling her into his embrace, allowing her to sit on his lap.

"Naughty girl." Chen Yiran pinched the tip of her nose, his face full of tenderness.

"What are you doing? This is my home, so don't touch it." Meng Qingxia said as he reached out to embrace his neck with a giggle.

Seeing her actions, Chen Yiran could not help but shake his head and laugh.

"You are right, I cannot do anything to you, so I ask Miss Qingxia to do something to me." Chen Yiran hugged her waist and smiled.

"Nope." Meng Qingxia spoke softly before moving into his embrace again, trying to get more warmth.

Chen Yiran held her tightly and the happiness on his face could not be described with words. Then, when he thought of something, he could not help but whisper.

"Qingxia."

"Yes." Meng Qingxia laid within his embrace, like an innocent girl, and couldn't help but give a lazy grunt in acknowledgement upon hearing this.

"Do you like France?" Chen Yiran tried to persuade his patiently.

"I like it." Meng Qingxia answered without hesitation.

"Why? "What do you like about it?" Chen Yiran asked as he followed her words, which seemed to be more of a normal conversation.

Yet Chen Yiran's gaze passed her and fell on that bright red crabapple tree. It seemed like the season had not even arrived yet, so how could there be a crabapple that bloomed full of flowers? Chen Yiran could not help but be curious.

Then, he heard Meng Qingxia say slowly.

"I like the Chinese parasol trees on the streets and on the streets of France. They're so beautiful."

"Is that so? This liking is the same as Xi Xi. " Chen Yiran said.

"So she likes it too. No wonder I like her too?" "I'll tell you …"

"What else?" Chen Yiran suddenly interrupted Meng Qingxia and laughed.

"What?" Meng Qingxia was a little confused.

"What else do you like about France?" Chen Yiran asked again, trying to hold back his temper.

Hearing that, Meng Qingxia suddenly raised his head from Chen Yiran's embrace, looked at him in the eyes, and said while chuckling as he enunciated each and every word.

"The reason I like France the most is because I met you in France." Meng Qingxia cupped his face and said gently.

Chen Yiran's heart fiercely froze, and he couldn't help but be wild with joy at these unexpected words of love.

Then he could not resist kissing her smooth forehead.
