She's fine

Tang Hongbo comforted Chen Xi.

Tang Weixu saw that the first thing Tang Hongbo said wasn't "Happy New Year" or "Greeting for Wealth", but it was actually not.

"I thought that it was very clear yesterday that I wasn't the one who wanted you to get married. You should know." Tang Hongbo said with an innocent expression.

"Would Uncle let me go if you didn't say so?" This is something that should be done by you, right? The more Tang Weixu spoke, the more excited he became.

When Tang Hongbo heard this, he could not help but shoot him a glance, and then changed his expression and replied with a strong tone.

"Intentionally? Let me ask you, who brought up the matter of the marriage with the Wang family first? You should know in your heart that your father never knew that the Wang family had another family, and had an adopted daughter, I think you told him. As for who told you, I think you should also understand, why did you start this matter, and now you're not willing to take responsibility? " Tang Hongbo looked at him coldly. Suddenly, he was rendered speechless.

"Who did you mean to do it first? Hmph, do you really think that by connecting with the adopted daughter of the Wang family, you can balance the powers of the three families? Aren't you thinking too simply? Do you really think that you are very knowledgeable about the domestic situation after being abroad for so many years? Do you know why the Wang family has always been at peace with us all these years? Do you know why the Rong Family spent so much effort to marry into the Wang Family? Do you know why the Duan Clan was so easily defeated? How much do you know about these things? I told you to go to the company to study. If you want to study well, then do so. Why did you have to do so many things? Now question me, what right do you have to question me? If you have the guts to use your uncle to strike me, why don't you have the guts to take responsibility? Is that what you are like? " Tang Hongbo's every word was like a knife cutting into his heart.

The anger in Tang Weixu's heart burned hotter and hotter. However, in order to completely topple him in the future, he did not dare to show it too clearly. Towards Tang Hongbo's reprimand, he could only reply with an unstable aura.

"I, I thought that as long as I marry the Wang family, the three families would be able to balance it. Isn't it also for the good of the company?" Tang Weixu pretended to look wronged. Then he continued.

"I was too naive, too childish. I'm sorry, brother."

Tang Hongbo took a deep breath. Even though he was an almighty being, he had never thought that the little brother in front of him would one day become his greatest enemy.

The Wang family can even abandon their biological daughter at any time, not to mention their adopted daughter. I advise you, the next time you do something, you'd better overthink it; I still have the same line, as long as you have the ability, you can take my position anytime you want. If not, just do it peacefully, don't think about doing things that would harm others and not benefit yourself. Tang Hongbo's scolding made Tang Weixu's face turn even uglier, but he could only silently endure it.

Tang Hongbo thought that he was urging him on, but Tang Weixu obviously didn't think that way. No matter if it was the past or the present, he would always live under the shadow of Tang Hongbo.

On the first day of the new year, Tang Weixu had obviously not obtained any benefits from Tang Hongbo and had even confirmed the marriage candidate for the Wang Family.

One day, he would definitely make Tang Hongbo regret everything he had said to him today. He had concealed himself for so many years and hibernated secretly, just so that he could step on Tang Hongbo under his feet one day.

So now was not the time, he was waiting for a chance that could kill him in one strike. He wanted revenge, for himself, for his dead parents, which Tang Hongbo owed him, but his father, his most beloved uncle owed his parents.

At this moment, he was sneering in his heart. Speaking of which, he still had to thank him, because the only thing he had taught him was to not show his emotions and not show his emotions. And he had done well, so even until now, Tang Hongbo had not discovered his true intentions.

"If there's nothing else, you can leave. Also, you're not young anymore, so it's time for you to get married. Do you understand what I mean?" Tang Hongbo asked.

"I know, I'll think about it." Tang Weixu nodded.

Tang Hongbo also nodded his head inaudibly. Every time the two brothers spoke, they would leave him speechless at the end, and Tang Hongbo would sometimes feel absent-minded when looking at him. It was as if this man in front of him who had a face full of gloom, was still that innocent youth from before, but time had changed all of this.

He was also not some innocent youth, and he was not the same person as before.

"I'm leaving." Tang Weixu said softly.

When Tang Weixu was about to leave, Chen Xi just happened to be coming down from the stairs. Tang Hongbo turned his head, and seeing Chen Xi, he couldn't help but look at her with a gentle gaze.

This was because he had someone he wanted to take seriously, someone he wanted to protect with his life. He had once been hot-blooded and focused on reviving his family, but now he only wanted to do his best to protect someone.

Perhaps, when one reached a certain height in status and wealth, their greatest hope would be for someone to be separated by a single hair, then use their last life to protect her, to love her, to avoid her suffering, to avoid her worries, and to avoid her wandering.

"What are you thinking? Is he gone? " Chen Xi's words interrupted his train of thoughts and he laughed.

"Have you decided where to go?" Tang Hongbo asked after answering the question.

Chen Xi suddenly smiled and continued.

"Japan."

"What's so interesting about Japan? Isn't it just a matter of walking away with your legs raised? I will have Secretary Wang draw up the itinerary right now." Tang Hongbo said.

Sigh, don't. It's the new year, so I, Secretary Wang, will also have to celebrate the new year. Chen Xi did not want to disturb others.

Who knew that Tang Hongbo's eyebrows would constrict.

"If I didn't say it would be a holiday, how would he dare?"

Chen Xi looked at him silently. Her personality was just as overbearing as usual, but she let him be.

It had already started snowing a few days before New Year's. It was snowing heavily today, so Uncle Lin and Tony were making snowmen in the garden, looking extremely happy.

Chen Xi leaned on the door and looked at him. This year, Tony seemed to have grown a lot taller, and he was already four years old, so it was about time he grew up.

Tony gradually grew up, but she never revealed her identity. She was now an illegitimate child, and she didn't want her to become like her. If that wasn't her status, she definitely wouldn't let Tony carry her on her back, and neither would Tang Hong.

However, right now, Tang Yizhou's father had always been unable to accept her, and this made her feel extremely vexed …

"Mummy, what do you think of the snowmen Grandpa Lin and I made?" Tony's joyful voice pulled her back to her thoughts. She looked at Tony.

He couldn't help but laugh.

Suddenly, she thought of Yi Yi, and when she thought Yi Yi, she thought of Meng Qingxia. She remembered the first time she saw Meng Qingxia, it was in a hospital.

Such a young girl, even now she didn't believe that she was unconscious, and all of this was because of her. Thinking about it, she wanted to give Chen Yiran a call.

She held the phone, dialed a few times, and then hung up. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but she didn't dare to. In the end, she took a deep breath and pressed the cold number.

The call was quickly connected.

"Xi Xi?" Chen Yiran's familiar voice travelled into her ears, and her eyes instantly turned red. She forcefully bit her lips, but didn't dare to make the slightest sound.

"Xi Xi, is that you? It must be you, right? Are you talking? " Chen Yiran's voice was warm and patient.

She really wanted to ask Meng Qingxia about her situation, but she didn't dare to do so.

"Brother Yiran, happy new year."

Chen Yiran seemed to laugh out loud on the phone.

"Well, Happy New Year, are you all right? Did Tang Hongbo bully you? " Chen Yiran asked.

"No, what about you? Are you all right? By the way, where are my parents? I didn't call them, did I, or did I call them a year ago? " Chen Xi asked.

"I'm fine, so are my uncle and aunt. They're probably on the plane right now, and they travel this time of year, so forget about it." Chen Yiran patiently replied.

"I really forgot." Chen Xi muttered.

Suddenly, the two of them fell silent and the atmosphere became awkward.

"I …"

"Xi Xi..."

The two of them spoke out at the same time. Chen Xi lowered her head and laughed.

"You first."

"You first." Chen Yiran modestly replied.

Actually, Chen Xi really didn't have anything else to say, so she thought for a bit.

"Brother Yiran, if there's nothing else, I'll go ahead and hang up." Just as Chen Xi wanted to hang up, Chen Yiran suddenly said.

"Xi Xi, she's fine too, you don't have to worry."

Chen Yiran's words of "she's fine and don't need to worry" caused her tears to fall uncontrollably. For such a long period of time, she deliberately didn't ask, and she thought that as long as she didn't ask, or even mention, she would pretend that nothing had happened. However, everything was just a lie on her part.

How was the girl who could be gentle and give a whimper at the moment?

"The doctor said that she is recovering very well. Perhaps she will wake up very soon." Chen Yiran said indifferently.

But Chen Xi knew that Chen Yiran was only saying this to console her.
