mutual benefit [gl]

Cui Jinxian's words not only caught Chen Yuanzhen by surprise, but even Chen Zhishan was caught off guard by his daughter-in-law's sudden proposal, and his usual calm smile froze on his face at this moment.

"Although Xu'er is the eldest grandson, in terms of age, Yin'er and Luo'er are both his older sisters. These two children have been begging me to add another younger brother to them, but I have never taken it seriously. Isn't that Playing with Xu'er today, they like it very much, they have been begging me to take Xu'er home as a guest."

After Cui Jinxian finished speaking, she turned her head and lowered her eyes to look at her two daughters, and said softly, "Isn't it?"

Both Chen Yin and Chen Luo nodded repeatedly, and Chen Luo still did not forget to act like a baby to Chen Zhishan, begging him to agree to this request.

It's fine if Cui Jinxian mentioned this, Chen Zhishan can refuse anything he says.It's just that Cui Jinxian moved out two children at this time, which made it difficult for Chen Zhishan.

Ever since Ji Xu entered the Chen family, everyone has discovered that Chen Zhishan is not as caring about his two granddaughters as before, and it is not patriarchal, but Ji Xu is a lost and found child after all, and an old man doesn't care about him at all. strangeness.

But having said that, Cui Jinxian was also implicated in the Z City Daily, which has a huge influence throughout the country. It is impossible for Chen Zhishan to completely ignore the Cui family's attitude.

After thinking about it, Chen Zhishan clapped his hands and smiled.

"Since my granddaughter has spoken, what else can I, a grandfather, not agree to?"

He said and smiled at Chen Luo.

"Take your brother home with you in a while."

"It's getting late, since that's the case, why don't you let Xu'er stay at my house overnight, and I'll personally send him to school the next morning." Cui Jinxian chased after the victory.

Chen Zhishan nodded and said with a smile: "You think it's good, then arrange it like this."

These two people talked to each other, and it sounded very harmonious, but Chen Yuanzhen knew that things were not that simple at all.

Based on what she knew about Cui Jinxian, she definitely had other intentions in taking Ji Xu away today, but since she could have seen it, how could someone with such bright eyes as Chen Zhishan not notice it.The reason why she was allowed to take Ji Xu away was simply because Chen Zhishan understood that Cui Jinxian offered to take him away, so no one could make mistakes.

For Chen Zhishan, the scheming and tricks played by these young people are not important, as long as Ji Xu is safe, he can turn a blind eye to them.

About an hour later, the family banquet was over, and Kang Yu supported Chen Zhishan to rest. After Chen Zhishan entered his room, Chen Yuanzhen also bid farewell, then turned and left quickly.

Chen Yuanshuo's home is about two hours' drive away from the Chen family's mansion. When Cui Jinxian drove into her parking lot, just as she got out of the car, a bright white light suddenly exploded in front of her eyes, causing her to squint unconsciously. Eye.

Immediately afterwards, a black car drove slowly, and the strong light was emitted by this car.

Through her blurred vision, she saw the car parked more than ten meters away from her, and then a woman opened the door and got out of the car.

Cui Jinxian knew it well, so she called Chen Yin to take her younger siblings upstairs first, while she turned around and stood facing the woman.

"Yuan Zhen, what are you doing? Why don't you talk about it at home if you have something to do?"

Chen Yuanzhen brushed her hair and said with a smile, "Home? Was that place just now the second sister-in-law's home, or mine?"

Cui Jinxian ignored Chen Yuanzhen's words, but glanced sideways at the car beside Chen Yuanzhen, and said with a smile, "You are really cautious, you came here in a different car."

After she finished speaking, she looked up at Chen Yuanzhen,

"Are you afraid of being discovered?"

"Be careful sailing for thousands of years." Chen Yuanzhen also smiled.

Cui Jinxian lowered her eyes and smiled, and after a while she raised her head again, her red lips curved.

"Are you interested in having a cup of coffee with me, sister-in-law?"

Chen Yuanzhen didn't speak, just looked at her beautiful face with cold eyes.

"Chen Yuanshuo is not at home, he reeks of alcohol and dare not stay at home."

Cui Jinxian saw things clearly, and Chen Yuanzhen didn't want to go around with her, so he said bluntly:

"I don't have much time."

Cui Jinxian pursed her lips and smiled, she stretched out her hand to untie her delicately tied hair, the straight black hair over her shoulders cascaded down like a waterfall, she rubbed her hair, and then unbuttoned the two buttons of her blouse.

"Don't worry, you won't miss your business, let's go."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked a few steps, probably because she had worn high heels for too long today, and her feet were really uncomfortable. Cui Jinxian stopped after walking a few steps, bent down and took off the high heels, and walked forward barefoot with the shoes Walk.

Chen Yuanzhen was behind her. Seeing this scene, she wanted to step forward, but she stopped after taking two steps.

Seeing Cui Jinxian walking further away, Chen Yuanzhen slowly followed.

It was the first time for Chen Yuanzhen to step into the second brother's house. The whole villa was very large and empty. The decoration looked elegant and tasteful, but it was definitely not Chen Yuanshuo's style.

"Sit whatever you want." Cui Jinxian said, "I'll go upstairs and change."

After Cui Jinxian finished speaking, she turned and went upstairs. Chen Yuanzhen sat alone in the huge living room, a little cramped.

After a while, Cui Jinxian changed into a shirt dress and went downstairs. Although she was still charming, she was definitely not as noble and unapproachable as she used to be.

"What would you like to drink? Coffee? For fruit juice, there is freshly squeezed orange juice."

"Second sister-in-law, just tell me if you have anything to do. As I said, my time is very tight."

Chen Yuanzhen's tone was very stiff, but Cui Jinxian didn't care, she smiled and leaned on the sofa behind her.

"There is no one else here, you don't need to call me Second Sister-in-law, just call me by my real name."

After she finished speaking, she took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket.

Chen Yuanzhen narrowed his eyes, obviously he didn't expect Cui Jinxian to have such a hobby.

The pack of cigarettes had obviously already been opened, and Cui Jinxian skillfully knocked out a long and thin cigarette, lit it swiftly, and passed it between two fingers.

Inhaling lightly, and then exhaling milky white smoke, Cui Jinxian turned her head to look at Chen Yuanzhen, and said with a smile:

"Are you surprised?"

"I don't think anything unexpected happened to my second sister-in-law." Chen Yuanzhen said expressionlessly.

Cui Jinxian curled her lips, nodded and remained silent.After taking another puff of cigarette, she lazily said:

"We don't speak dark words, you want to take this child away today, right?"

Chen Yuanzhen remained silent.

"It must be. You deliberately changed cars and chased me here. You are not afraid of bumping into Chen Yuanshuo at all. You are going all out."

"So, are you going to hand over the child to me?" Chen Yuanzhen asked.

Cui Jinxian shrugged her shoulders. She dusted off the cigarette ash, raised her eyes and said, "I called the child here today just for you. However, I have conditions."

Chen Yuanzhen raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What?"

"You have to help me."

Cui Jinxian's eyes directly met Chen Yuanzhen's, the black pupils were full of certainty.

Chen Yuanzhen was startled when she heard the words. She looked at Cui Jinxian's beautiful eyes and was speechless for a moment.

After a while, she frowned and said, "What can you do for me?"

Cui Jinxian pursed her lips and smiled. She adjusted her sitting posture to make herself more comfortable, then took another puff of cigarette and said:

"You have seen Su Zhenzhen's fate. Chen Yuanshuo will have an accident sooner or later. I don't want to be buried with him, nor should my two daughters. What's more, "

She turned her eyes to look at Chen Yuanzhen and sneered,

"What's more, you should also be aware that Yin'er and Luo'er are children conceived by surrogates. If the old man finds out about this, the three of us, the mother and the child, will be in trouble."

"Do you think I can help you?" Chen Yuanzhen asked.

"What are you still pretending to be? Chen Yuanyang and Chen Yuanshuo brothers look like tigers, leopards and wolves, but in fact, your fangs are the ones that can really bite people to death. It's okay if others don't know, but I don't know." Not a fool."

Chen Yuanzhen also sneered, "In this case, why do you think I will help you?"

"Although Chen Yuanshuo is stupid, he is smarter than his elder brother. He has already raised his doubts about you to me before. He has a solid foundation in the group. If the old man doesn't do it himself, will he Maybe like Chen Yuanyang, he fell into your trap so obediently step by step."

Cui Jinxian leaned forward slightly as she spoke.

"I'm willing to help you bring down Chen Yuanshuo, but you have to promise me that his downfall will never implicate me and my two children. Also,"

"What else?" Chen Yuanzhen asked.

"In the future, if the Chen family falls into your hands, you should remember our conversation today."

After hearing this, Chen Yuanzhen smiled disdainfully, "I really didn't realize that you are such a greedy woman."

"Chen Yin and Chen Luo are both your brother's children. As the Chen family, it's not too much to share the property of the Chen family." Cui Jinxian still smiled gently.

"So, now you want to unite with me and bring down my brother and your husband?"

"You've been doing things like bringing down your brother, I just helped you." Cui Jinxian said and pointed upstairs, "That kid is in Yin'er and Luo'er's room now, you go."

Chen Yuanzhen stood up, she turned around and was about to go upstairs when she suddenly thought of something again and looked back at Cui Jinxian suspiciously.

"Since you look down on Chen Yuanshuo so much, why do you want to have a child with him? With your level of thoughtfulness, even if you don't have children, as long as Chen Yuanshuo is in power, you can still get everything you want by manipulating him. "

"I'm different from Chen Yuanshuo," Cui Jinxian took a puff of the cigarette, and then slowly exhaled the smoke.

"I'm not a gambler, and I won't bet everything on one person. These two children are the chips that can guarantee that I will not leave the Chen family empty-handed."

"Bet?" Chen Yuanzhen smiled, with a little desolation in his smile.

"That's why you choose to be a surrogate?"

At this moment, the expression on Cui Jinxian's face froze for a moment, but after only a moment, she laughed again.

"It's the Chen Group that makes me desire, not Chen Yuanshuo. Would you have a relationship with someone you don't love at all?"

Cui Jinxian's rhetorical question made Chen Yuanzhen speechless. She stood at the stairs and looked at Cui Jinxian for a while, then turned and went upstairs with a wry smile.

After a while, Chen Yuanzhen took Ji Xu out of the room, and when the two came out, the cigarette in Cui Jinxian's hand had disappeared, and she stood up, like the always dignified and generous second young lady of the Chen family in the past.

"Is Xu'er leaving?"

Ji Xu nodded.

"Goodbye then, oh yes and this."

Not knowing when it was brought over, Cui Jinxian handed Ji Xu a paper bag.

"Xu'er likes to eat today's dessert cake, right? My aunt is very good at making cakes, so give these to Xu'er."

Hearing this, Ji Xu subconsciously turned his head to look at Chen Yuanzhen beside him. Chen Yuanzhen nodded, and then he reached out to take it, bowed and politely thanked Cui Jinxian.

"So good." Cui Jinxian stretched out her hand and gently rubbed Ji Xu's hair, then raised her head and whispered to Chen Yuanzhen:

"You can just leave, I will delete all the monitoring records here."

Chen Yuanzhen looked at her, did not speak, lowered his head and whispered to Ji Xu: "Say goodbye to my aunt."

"Goodbye, aunt!"

After that, Chen Yuanzhen led Ji Xu out of Chen Yuanshuo's house.

After waiting for the car to be picked up in the parking lot, Ji Xu asked aloud, "Is pretty sister unhappy?"

Chen Yuanzhen came back to her senses, she looked at Ji Xu, forced a smile: "Why do you ask that?"

"It's not..." Ji Xu muttered in a low voice, "I just think that the beautiful sister is not very talkative."

"Sorry, Ji Xu, maybe it's because I'm a little tired. But I'm not unhappy." Chen Yuanzhen said.

"Does the beautiful sister not like that aunt?" Ji Xu asked suddenly.

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

"It's just... I just feel that the beautiful sister is very depressed in front of that aunt, and she always seems to be unhappy."

"What about Ji Xu?" Chen Yuanzhen squatted down, keeping Ji Xu at eye level.

"Do you like that aunt?"

Ji Xu heard this and thought for a while, then nodded.

"Why?" Chen Yuanzhen wondered.

"Maybe it's because... she is the mother of two older sisters. She will make delicious snacks for the two older sisters. I just saw a beautiful dress in my sister's closet. Sister Luoer said it was her." Mom made it for her herself, and it's prettier than the ones in the department store..."

While Ji Xu was talking, he lowered his head and stopped talking. Chen Yuanzhen pursed his lips and gently pulled Ji Xu into his arms.

She felt that her shoulders were getting wet gradually, and her eyes were sore for a moment, and then she hugged Ji Xu even tighter.

When Chen Yuanzhen drove the car onto the downtown road, it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening. Ji Xu cried for a while and then fell asleep. At this time, he was sleeping soundly in the back seat of Chen Yuanzhen's car.

It was exactly eleven o'clock when Chen Yuanzhen dialed Ji Cixi's cell phone, the busy tone in the Bluetooth headset rang a few times before being picked up, and then Ji Cixi's slightly tired voice reached Chen Yuanzhen's ears.

Chen Yuanzhen immediately frowned and said, "Are you okay?"

"Say something quickly." Ji Cixi said, paused, and she whispered: "I'm still working overtime in the group."

"Still working overtime?" Chen Yuanzhen was taken aback, she turned her eyes to look at the time, "Are you still working overtime at this time?"

"Well, it's about half an hour before I leave. What's your business?"

"I brought Ji Xu back."

"What?!" Ji Cixi immediately stood up when she heard that, "You mean Ji Xu?"

"Yes, I'm rushing to your house, otherwise, I'll take him to the group to wait for you?"

"Don't!" Ji Cixi said bluntly, "I'm leaving now, see you downstairs at my house."

After all, Ji Cixi ended the call, and then frantically organized the desktop full of documents.

About half an hour later, Chen Yuanzhen's car drove into Ji Cixi's community, and after seeing the apartment building where she lived, Chen Yuanzhen also saw Ji Cixi standing downstairs.

She stopped the car, turned around and gently woke Ji Xu up.

"Ji Xu, go find your aunt." She smiled.

Ji Xu, who was still sleepy at first, regained his energy when he heard the words. He immediately sat up, unfastened his seat belt and ran to get out of the car. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Ji Cixi standing not far from him, so he ran over madly. She threw herself directly into Ji Cixi's arms.

As soon as he saw Ji Cixi, Ji Xu's already stopped tears fell again, and when he was about to cry, Ji Cixi immediately stopped him.

"If you cry again, I'll send you back." She looked down at Ji Xu in her arms and said softly.

"Are you going to scare the child when you see him?" Chen Yuanzhen jokingly walked over with his trouser pockets in his hand.

Looking at the professional suit on Ji Cixi's body that has not yet been replaced in the future, Chen Yuanzhen said with a smile: "The overtime system of the group is really anti-human."

Ji Cixi looked at her, saw that she was dressed formally but not as flamboyant as in the past, and she was able to bring Ji Xu back, so she also knew that she probably returned to the Chen family mansion today.

Probably not easy again.

Thinking of this, Ji Cixi no longer countered Chen Yuanzhen's joke, but patted Ji Xu lightly, and said to him: "You go upstairs first, I have something to talk to your pretty sister." Li took out the key and handed it to Ji Xu.

Ji Xu was sensible, he let go of Ji Cixi, wiped his tears, obediently took the key from Ji Cixi's hand, said goodbye to Chen Yuanzhen, turned around and trotted into the apartment building.

After watching Ji Xu enter the elevator, Ji Cixi glanced at Chen Yuanzhen's car, and said, "You can't park here, let's go, go to the parking lot." After that, she opened the door first and got into the car.

Chen Yuanzhen knew that Ji Cixi probably had something to say, so he got into the car without saying anything.

After driving the car into the parking lot and Chen Yuanzhen parked the car, Ji Cixi whispered: "How did you bring Ji Xu out today?"

"That's how it was brought out." Chen Yuanzhen smiled.

"I'm not joking with you." Ji Cixi said seriously, she looked at Chen Yuanzhen, "What's going on?"

"What if I say...it's a secret?" Chen Yuanzhen also looked at her, "Do you still want to know?"

Ji Cixi was silent for a moment, then she turned her face away.

"I'm not interested in prying into secrets."

"Yes," Chen Yuanzhen smiled bitterly, "You never seem to be interested in anything about me."

"Isn't that bad?" Ji Cixi said, "I don't know anything about you, but I still want to believe you."

She glanced at Chen Yuanzhen, "This kind of blind trust is already all I can give."

Chen Yuanzhen looked at Ji Cixi upon hearing the words, and the two looked at each other for a moment, Chen Yuanzhen pursed his lips, and said with a smile:

"Then that's enough, as long as I'm different from others with you, that's enough."

Ji Cixi didn't speak, she moved her hand, as if she wanted to lift it up and touch Chen Yuanzhen's red eyes, but in the end she still didn't move.

Avoiding Chen Yuanzhen's gaze, Ji Cixi lowered her head and unbuttoned her seat belt.

"I'm going back first, you will pick up Ji Xu tomorrow morning."

After Ji Cixi finished speaking, she got out of the car, and Chen Yuanzhen also got out of the car. She leaned against the side of the car and watched Ji Cixi stepping forward on high heels.

After watching for a while, suddenly, Chen Yuanzhen trotted to Ji Cixi's side, she held Ji Cixi's skinny shoulder, and knelt down on one knee.

She unfastened the high heels under Ji Cixi's feet, and then squatted down in front of her.

"What are you doing?" Ji Cixi was still in surprise and did not react.

"It's fine for other people. With you, I'll be a knight once." Chen Yuanzhen said and turned his head, "Come on, don't look at me as thin, it's fine to carry you on my back."

"are you……"

"Take it as a thank you for bringing Ji Xu back to see you, come up."

Chen Yuanzhen is a natural hanger, because although her shoulders and back are wide, they are thin and angular, so no matter what kind of clothes she seems to be able to control.But such shoulders look extremely fragile, especially when she threw away the umbrella in her hand outside the hospital that day, and faced the media with her thin shoulders and faced public opinion, Ji Cixi was wondering whether this person's shoulders would be will be crushed.

At this moment, this person's thin shoulders were right in front of him.

Ji Cixi stretched out her hand, she patted Chen Yuanzhen's back lightly, and asked softly:

"You, can you really?"

"En." Chen Yuanzhen's response sounded firm and reliable.

Then, Chen Yuanzhen felt a pair of arms gently wrapping around her shoulders, like a feather falling down, Ji Cixi leaned over Chen Yuanzhen's body.

"Let's go."
