hello dear translator

Before the meal, Cheng Wei briefly talked about the situation of the Cheng Group. On the surface, it seemed to be chatting casually, and even joked with Tan Xiangxiang from time to time, but Zhao Xiran, who was sitting next to Cheng Xiao, felt that the atmosphere was very strange. .

But no matter what they said, Cheng Xiao beside him always acted as if he had nothing to do with him.

He also picked out dishes for her from time to time, and told her about the characteristics of the dishes and how to eat them, as if the two of them really came to the Cheng family's old house just to eat.

Looking at Cheng Jiacong who was sitting in the opposite seat, from before the meal to the end of the meal, his face was sullen, and he ate loudly, as if this behavior was deliberately done for some people to see.

Zhao Xiran just doesn't understand, is Cheng Jiacong dissatisfied with Cheng Xiao's return, or is it because of what Cheng Wei said in the hall before?
Maybe it's both!They were a pair of enemies by nature, and the struggles in the big family could not be understood by a daughter like her who was born in an ordinary family.

I just hope that this meal can end soon, and then go back to each house.

Finally, Cheng Wei, who was sitting in the chair, put down his chopsticks, followed by Cheng Jiacong.

"Dad, Mom, I'm going back first!"

The chair creaked, and as soon as he took a step, Cheng Wei said angrily: "I asked you to come over for a meal, and made you suffer?"

"Old Cheng!" Tan Xiangxiang stroked Cheng Wei's shoulder lightly, and blinked at Cheng Jiacong who was standing there from time to time.

But Cheng Jiacong just pretended he didn't see anything, and continued to go his own way, "There are too many people in the Cheng family who want to eat with you, and I, Cheng Jiacong, are not missing!"

He was still angry about what Cheng Wei said earlier that he would hand over the Cheng family to Cheng Xiao.

Even Zhao Xiran had already heard the meaning of these words, turned his head to look at Cheng Xiao who was beside him, and he was still eating his meal quietly.

"Cheng Jiacong!" Cheng Wei blushed with anger, "You said this yourself?"

"That's right, I said it myself." Cheng Jiacong, who has always been held in the hands of Tan Xiangxiang, has always been the pride of heaven. Even in front of his majestic father, he still maintains his true colors.

"Jia Cong, say something else." Tan Xiangxiang looked worried, "Old Cheng, he's just a child, don't argue with him."

"I remember he is 25 this year!" Cheng Xiao said plainly.

Everyone's eyes drifted to him, but he still didn't change his face, "When I was 25 years old, I had founded Diamond for a year."

Cheng Wei, who had already calmed down, turned darker at this moment.

He slammed the table and stood up from the seat, "He will become like this now, you are used to it!"

"Old Cheng, how can you blame me?" Tan Xiangxiang was so wronged that he burst into tears.

Zhao Xiran looked at the sudden change of painting style in front of her, and she, who had no appetite in the first place, couldn't swallow anymore.

There was a sound of 'dong', and the dangling arm was clenched.

Cheng Xiao forced her to walk quickly, the moment she was about to leave, Zhao Xiran looked back, and the few people who had been arguing before had already calmed down.It's just that there was a bit of weirdness in this calmness, which made her feel a little chill.

"Cheng Xiao, what is Cheng Wei doing today?" Finally, he couldn't hold back and asked the people around him.

His cold eyes swept over her, and after a while, he said, "Leave him alone!"

How can you do this?

The more he didn't answer, the doubts in Zhao Xiran's heart became more serious, and he began to speculate, "I always feel that we are going to a grand banquet today. Although Cheng Wei has been talking and laughing there, but his smile doesn't look like it at all." Insincere! Also, he treats Cheng Jiacong much colder than I imagined."

"I never said he was simple!"

It is precisely because it is not simple that it is even more important to remain calm in front of Cheng Wei.

"Then..." Zhao Xiran's expression clearly told him what she was worried about.

Holding her shoulders with both hands, he looked at her intently for a long time, and said word by word: "Of course, you just need to remember that I will settle Cheng's matter as soon as possible, and then we can go back to City D together."

He is still as domineering as before, beyond doubt.

On the surface, it looks like he is full of confidence, Zhao Xiran is not worried that he will not be able to fight Cheng Wei and Cheng Jiacong, but he is only afraid that he will get hurt.

But now it seems that those seem to be redundant.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, and then talked about other things to avoid embarrassment.

The car slowly stopped at the place where Zhao Xiran lived, she pushed the door down, smiled and waved to Cheng Xiao who was in the car.

Cheng Xiao pursed his lips and smiled, then drove away.

What he didn't know was that the moment the car left, the smile on Zhao Xiran's face also disappeared.

Living in the current place feels more like being in a cage, ignorant of everything outside. Although she has tried her best to break free from the shackles that bind her, but now it seems that those efforts are in vain.

She really misses the innocent days she lived in City D before, where she could do whatever she wanted, and do whatever she wanted!
On the other side, Cheng Xiao received a call from Ji Kong.

"Zhou Yi, I went to the detention center today."

Hearing unexpected words suddenly, Cheng Xiao was very surprised and didn't make a sound for a long time.

"Let me ask our people to take good care of Zhao Qingshan."

"No need!" Cheng Xiao said.

What he knows better is that once Cheng Wei decides to do something, no one can stop him.

But what he didn't understand was that it was obviously unreasonable for Cheng Wei to ask Zhou Yi to find Zhao Qingshan at this moment in order to silence him.And Zhou Yi shouldn't be let out.

Unless, Cheng Wei has other ideas about Zhao Qingshan.

"Then we shall..."

"Look from a distance, there is no need to do anything!" Cheng Xiao's words came through the phone line, Ji Kong heard that although he was suspicious, he didn't dare to comment, and just followed his orders.

On the morning of the second day, Zhao Xiran suddenly received a call from a stranger.

There was a woman's voice on the other end of the phone, sounding a little old.

"May I ask who you are?" Zhao Xiran was still not sure, although he could tell a little.

I don't even know how the people in the Cheng family's old house got her contact information.

"We have met in the old house before!" Tan Xiangxiang said.

With a bang, Zhao Xiran felt as if his brain had exploded, and panicked.

"Mrs. Cheng, what do you want me for?"

She really didn't want to have anything to do with anyone in the Cheng family, it gave her a headache.

But the other party said casually: "It's not a very important matter!"

Before Zhao Xiran could recall, she laughed and said, "Only the wives heard about you from nowhere, they are very interested in you, and want to meet you!"

Zhao Xiran didn't think it was such an honor, but felt that he was more like a gorilla locked in a zoo, allowing others to comment.

"I also know that this has made things difficult for you, Ms. Zhao! But those wives are all dignified people, and I can't refuse! Can you see it?"

Although she spoke so politely, Zhao Xiran could still hear the threat in her words.

"When?"

When Tan Xiangxiang heard this, he was overjoyed, and quickly told her the time and place he had made appointments with several wives.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xiran thought about telling Cheng Xiao about it.

When she was about to make a call, she suddenly remembered what Cheng Xiao had told her before.He didn't want her to have too much to do with the Cheng family, and neither did she.

It's just that there are some things that really can't be done as you want.

Changing into the little dress that Cheng Xiao had bought for her for the banquet, she got out of the car and looked up at the Polish manor that was just around the corner.

There are two big lions carved in stone standing at the gate, but these big lions are not the usual off-white color, but an extremely rare light golden color, followed by several palms planted on both sides, these palms are not tall, trimmed It's fairly neat.

Zhao Xiran didn't put too much thought on these decorations, but directly stepped forward and called the door.

"You are Zhao Xiran?"

The young man on duty at the door looked at her carefully.

Zhao Xiran was very uncomfortable, so he nodded his head bravely.

At the moment when she confirmed it, the young man's eyes became sharp, and even his words were full of frivolity.

"It's just average in appearance, and it's a few streets away from what they said is the beauty of a fairy!"

they?

Without thinking carefully, Zhao Xiran also guessed who said such words!
What she didn't understand was that even a young man on duty in a Polish manor was qualified to comment on her?

"What I look like has something to do with you?" Zhao Xiran said restrainedly.

The young man who heard this stopped, shook his head after a while and led her in.

The road was full of flowers, but Zhao Xiran was in no mood.She just wanted to see Tan Xiangxiang earlier, say a few words to her and leave.

As for the other cats and dogs, pointing at her, what does that have to do with her?
She, Zhao Xiran, has grown so big, she hasn't been soaked in a honey pot all the time.

If what those people said and did really exceeded her acceptable limit, she would never suffer silently like a fool!

From a distance, I heard Tan Xiangxiang talking and laughing, and I only saw those people sitting around playing mahjong when I looked closer.

Seeing Zhao Xiran coming, Tan Xiangxiang hurriedly stood up from his chair, and pulled her affectionately.

"Xiran, come, play a game with the wives!"

Zhao Xiran was dumbfounded, he really didn't expect that Tan Xiangxiang's so-called inability to refuse turned out to be playing mahjong.

Let alone whether she has the capital, she herself doesn't know how to play this kind of thing.

"Mrs. Cheng."

"Hey! Why do you still call me Mrs. Cheng?" Tan Xiangxiang said displeased.

Seeing that Zhao Xiran hadn't reacted for a long time, he reminded again: "Xiran, you should change your mouth!"

"Aunt Tan." This was the only address Zhao Xiran could think of.

But Mrs. Wang who was sitting beside her couldn't stand it any longer, "Mrs. Cheng, is this the daughter-in-law you've been praising so much?"

From top to bottom, from left to right, he looked at Zhao Xiran carefully.

"The figure looks pretty good! It's a pity that I'm a little thinner, and the child I give birth may not be a son!"

Zhao Xiran was stunned, and looked suspiciously at Tan Xiangxiang beside her, but she said calmly: "It's not bad to have a daughter!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

But Zhao Xiran couldn't wait for a moment.

As soon as he got up, he was pressed back again by Tan Xiangxiang, "Xiran, where are you going? This is the beginning of the game!"

Seeing that the mahjong table had turned, Zhao Xiran had no choice but to say, "Aunt Tan, I don't know how to play this, so you should do it!"

She was about to give up the seat to Tan Xiangxiang, but she didn't want Mrs. Li who was sitting on the right to ask suddenly: "Do you look down on us wives who have nothing to do? Or do you simply not afford to lose?"

The originally good atmosphere froze in an instant, and Zhao Xiran suddenly understood that Tan Xiangxiang asked her to come here just to humiliate her.

It's just that if you understand it, it's not easy to escape the situation in front of you.
