He wanted to see for himself why his father was looking for her.

Whether it was in the past or in the future, his only responsibility would be to her.

When Chen Xi got off the carriage, she saw the butler, Elder Zhang, already waiting at the door.

"Miss Chen?" Uncle Zhang asked first.

Chen Xi nodded.

"Yes."

"Follow me, Miss Chen. Master is already waiting for you." Uncle Zhang made a inviting gesture, then led Chen Xi in.

The moment Chen Xi stepped into the door, she felt a sense of familiarity.

Uncle Zhang opened the door and entered. Chen Xi saw a painting and behind it, there was a person's shadow.

Chen Xi knew that the person must be Tang Hongbo's father.

"Miss Chen, the old master is waiting for you. Go in." Uncle Zhang said.

Chen Xi nodded, and then slowly walked towards the screen.

Chen Xi saw Old Master Tang sitting on a red wooden table. There were a lot of dishes on the table, as if he was eating lunch, but did not use his chopsticks.

"Come, sit down." Old Man Tang gestured for Chen Xi to sit on the chair opposite to him.

Chen Xi was not humble in the slightest as she walked over and sat on the chair.

"Good morning, Uncle Tang." Chen Xi said softly.

"Have you eaten yet? Eat." Old Man Tang pointed to the tableware in front of her.

"Thank you. I'm not hungry." Chen Xi replied indifferently.

"What is it? Are you afraid that I'll poison this food? " Mr. Tang looked up at her.

Chen Xi laughed.

"Uncle Tang is joking, I'm really not hungry."

"Men, back down." Old Tang called for a nanny and took the food away.

After the food was taken away, Tang Yizhou looked at her again.

With a probing and probing look, Chen Xi was not afraid of his eyes at all.

"Should I call you Miss Chen or Miss Duan?" Tang Yizhou squinted his eyes and asked.

Chen Xi was sizing him up as well. She had not seen him for a few years and it seemed as if years had never left a mark on his face.

In the past, she didn't dare look into his eyes because she was afraid of him. But now, as she looked at him, she felt that he was just an old man with great care. There was nothing to be afraid of.

Chen Xi said as the corner of her mouth twitched.

"I still like it when people call me Miss Chen." Chen Xi said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"Alright, Miss Chen. You should understand why I called you here today, right?" Tang Yizhou's eyes flashed.

Chen Xi laughed.

"I do not understand. Uncle Tang, please speak your mind."

Tang Yizhou's face stiffened, as if he hadn't expected Chen Xi to say this.

"Miss Chen, is it different now?" Tang Yizhou said with a stern face.

"Of course it's different. Uncle Tang, what did you think of me in the past?" Chen Xi asked.

Tang Yizhou said with a straight face.

"Miss Chen is really eloquent, but do you know? I never liked sharp-tongued little girls. "

Chen Xi lowered his head and smiled, as if he did not care about what he said.

"Uncle Tang doesn't like sharp-tongued people. It's probably because he thinks that you can't control his, and I wasn't born to be a hater. Whether Uncle Tang likes me or not doesn't have much of an impact on me."

Tang Yizhou's face became even uglier. He never thought that the little girl who he hadn't seen for a few years would become so eloquent, making him feel embarrassed with just his words. In the past, that little girl who was in front of him, didn't even dare to speak and only knew how to comply, had obviously been reborn.

"Alright, I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few years, you would actually become a completely different person. Fine, I won't beat around the bush, I'll be straightforward then, I heard that Miss Chen has a son, right?" Tang Yizhou squinted his eyes and asked.

Chen Xi stared blankly for a moment. He did not expect him to ask this question, so he thought he would ask about Tang Hongbo first.

However, he had nothing to hide.

"Yes." Chen Xi nodded.

"I just want to know if he has the Tang clan's blood on him, and if his surname is Tang." Tang Yizhou said with an overbearing attitude.

Chen Xi laughed.

"His surname is Chen, his name is Nestle Tong, Phoenix Nestled Parasol Tree, and he has the meaning of an auspicious omen. Does Uncle Tang have anything else to ask?"

"You know, that's not what I meant. Three years ago, you were pregnant and ran away with another man. Shouldn't you explain?" Tang Yizhou finally got to the point.

Chen Xi, however, did not get angry, and only replied.

"Uncle Tang, since you can find out that I have a son, why don't you investigate the reason for my disappearance three years ago? Maybe you didn't want to check at all, because you subconsciously thought that I had run away with a man, so you didn't check it out at all? " Chen Xi continued to smile.

Hearing that, Tang Yizhou slammed his palm on the table.

"Impudent! Who allowed you to guess my thoughts? If you didn't elope with a man, then where would you have gone to in these three years?"

"Where have I been these three years? What for? Do you care? If you truly care about it, I believe that with Uncle Tang's strength, it won't be impossible to find out. And three years ago, wasn't it you who asked me to leave? " Chen Xi said in an overbearing tone.

Tang Yizhou's face became even uglier.

"You hate me?"

Chen Xi sneered.

"I can't say I hate it, but I don't really like it either."

"Hmph, you are quite sincere. Fine, since you don't like me, then I will hate you as well. How about this, our Tang Clan is not heartless, we accept your son, but you, I will definitely not accept you as our Tang Clan's daughter-in-law." Tang Yizhou coldly snorted.

Chen Xi silently said in his heart. So this was his final goal after calling her here, to only accept her son and not her. He had probably been thinking about this idea for a long time.

However, he was too self-righteous, did he really think that she was the Duan Wenzhuo of three years ago? Let him do as he pleases.

"No need. Don't just accept my son. Even if you accept us, we might not even enter the Tang Clan. You're overthinking it. You must have been thinking about this for a long time." Chen Xi said calmly.

Tang Yizhou was furious, his eyes were blazing with fire, as though he would spew it out in the next second, burning Chen Xi's body inside out.

"You really don't know what's good for you. Do you think that you can enter the Tang clan's gate just because you want to?" Fine, if you don't care about your son and yourself, and I don't force you, then what about Hongbo? You also want him to be kicked out of the Tang clan, and from then on he's nothing at all? " Tang Yizhou said hatefully.

Chen Xi stared blankly. She never thought that he would hate her to this extent, to the point where he wouldn't even let his own son go.

But did he think he could threaten her with that?

She gently smiled and said.

"Uncle Tang, he is your son, how you punish him is your problem, I will not stop him, furthermore, he has never liked me interfering with his matters, if he knew that I gave up on him because of a single word you said, he might want to quarrel with me, and I do not want to argue with him, do you understand, Uncle Tang?" Chen Xi's words could not be clearer, she did not believe that he did not understand.

Tang Yizhou squinted his eyes, his entire body was filled with anger.

"So that's what you think. Then why did you agree to it three years ago?"

"It's because I agreed to your suggestion three years ago that I won't make the same mistake again after three years, because people can't fall down twice in a row in the same place, and I can't easily give up on him just because of a single sentence from someone. Besides, only I know what he's going to do to me, and if I do that, I'll be damned." Chen Xi's words were firm and every word was sonorous and powerful.

"Well, you've made up your mind to do that, haven't you? "I have already given my choice to you. You can either have your son recognize your ancestors, or your family of three will no longer be surnamed Tang. You will not be able to take away anything that the Tang Clan has given you. You can think about it for yourself." Tang Yizhou spoke with the tone of an ultimatum.

No matter what she did, no matter who she became, she could not get Tang Yizhou's approval. However, he was the one in charge of the Tang Family, so Tang Hongbo could not mess with him.

This was just like twisting an arm so it couldn't touch the thigh.

"Good, good, good …" Suddenly, the profound entrance's door was pushed open, and a familiar voice entered Chen Xi's ears.

She turned her head, only to see Tang Hongbo clapping his hands, walking out from behind the screen, as though he had the aura of an angel. Chen Xi could not help but smile at him gently, but the helplessness and bitterness in his smile was clearly seen by Tang Hongbo.

"Master, I'm sorry, I can't stop the Young Master." Uncle Zhang lowered his head, blaming himself.

Tang Yizhou waved his hand, signaling him to avoid it, and then looked at Tang Hongbo again.

"Colluded?"

Chen Xi naturally knew what he meant. Previously, he said that he would not let her tell Tang Hongbo.

"Collusion? I'm afraid that you all have colluded with me. Carry me, Xi Xi. Tang Hongbo didn't even look at his father as he pulled Chen Xi away.

"Stop, did I say you could walk?" Tang Yizhou said coldly.

But Tang Hongbo did not even turn around, and decisively pulled Chen Xi away, as if he did not hear his words.

However, when he arrived at the profound entrance, he suddenly stopped, his back was facing Tang Yizhou as he spoke with a cold voice.

"Next time, if you have any problems, just come and find me. Xi Xi is afraid of strangers, and is not suitable." After saying that, he pulled Chen Xi and disappeared from Tang Yizhou's sight.
