mutual benefit [gl]

Everything I want to say and everything I want to do has been said and done.Ji Cixi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in Chen Yuanzhen's room.

"In this case... I'll go back first." She pursed her lips slightly, and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute." Chen Yuanzhen called to stop her.

Ji Cixi turned around, and Chen Yuanzhen sat back on the sofa. She was wearing a loose black shirt on her upper body, and a knee-length brown wool skirt on her lower body. Under the skirt were her bare calves, rippling under the dim light in the living room. Glossy, like fine white porcelain.

Ji Cixi flashed her gaze in embarrassment, and turned to look up at her.

Chen Yuanzhen then took out a bank card from his shirt pocket.

"For you."

Ji Cixi lowered her eyes to look at Ka, and then at her, without making a sound, just waiting for her to explain.

"Not a lot of money, almost 200 million."

Ji Cixi still just looked at her and didn't speak.

"Things like money...you can't underestimate it. Otherwise, it will underestimate you too. However, you can't enshrine it like an ancestor, otherwise..."

She winked at Ji Cixi.

"Otherwise it will really treat you as a slave and trample on you without cherishing it."

"What do you want to say?" Ji Cixi asked.

"It's true that I brought you here this time not to visit the mountains and rivers. I have business to do tomorrow afternoon. It's just that I have arranged other tasks for you."

Chen Yuanzhen stretched out a finger with a thin silver ring, and tapped the coffee table lightly.

"You have to spend all the money in this card before you go back to your country."

"Spending money?" Ji Cixi frowned suspiciously.

"That's right." Chen Yuanzhen smiled.

"You used to be a tutor, and you paid the rent every month with the little money. It can be said that the money falls into your hands, and you have to hand it over without touching it." Someone else, right?"

Chen Yuanzhen folded his arms and said.

Ji Cixi didn't speak, but she didn't deny it.

"Money...is a good thing. Some people say that when a person has a certain amount of money, money is just a pile of waste paper. Do you know what that means?"

Chen Yuanzhen's smile deepened.

"This shows that the person who said this is either a complete rich bastard who wants to deceive those who have no money. Or... is too naive."

Looking at Chen Yuanzhen, Ji Cixi felt that she was completely different from just now.

Just because Chen Yuanzhen always gave her such a sense of trance, Ji Cixi is still unable to figure out her true thoughts.

"No matter how rich you are, money will not be a pile of waste paper. When people have money to a certain extent, money is no longer just an equivalent exchange that can buy things. It is the flame that ignites human desires. This Once a fire is lit ... it's very difficult to put it out."

"So what do you mean by giving me money?"

"Ji Cixi, I have sent you many trivial favors before, but you refused to accept them. But now I hand you the key that can unlock your greed. You have to remember, once this door is opened, , it will not close. So, "

Chen Yuanzhen smiled.

"So, you can still go back on your word now, go back and continue to be your innocent teacher, and don't need to step into this dirty place."

"Then what about Ji Xu?" Ji Cixi asked expressionlessly.

"Actually, Ji Xu was not your child. Chen Yuanyang is his biological father."

Ji Cixi sneered.

"Why, Miss Chen is planning to tell me that everything you said before is all nonsense?"

"No." Chen Yuanzhen said firmly, "Everything I told you before is true."

"Because it's all true... so I regret it now."

"Regret?" Ji Cixi narrowed her eyes slightly.

Chen Yuanzhen didn't answer her, but just looked away from her and remained silent.

She does have some regrets.

Ji Cixi is indeed not that kind of innocent girl, but she still doesn't know what she is facing.

The Chen family group is too huge, and this group is not just a simple struggle of the Chen family.Various factional disputes, and even the dark side involved.

If it was Chen Yuanzhen in the past, she only used Ji Cixi as a commodity, then she would not be concerned about this at all.

But it's different now.

When she was hesitating, Ji Cixi suddenly picked up the bank card on the coffee table.

"Whatever is behind that door is fine. I just want to keep what I deserve and get back what they owe. I don't care about anything else."

Chen Yuanzhen looked up at Ji Cixi's face, her eyes were cold and alienated that Chen Yuanzhen was familiar with.

"you……"

Before the words came out, Chen Yuanzhen closed his mouth again.

In the end, Chen Yuanzhen put on a smile.

"Two million is a lot. But you will be by the old man's side in the future, so this number is not worth mentioning. I want you to get familiar with money first, so don't let the old man see it... You didn't have anything before." seen."

Ji Cixi kept the card away in silence.

"If you want to conquer money, you must first touch it. You can find a way, you can buy anything, spend it however you want...but remember my words."

Chen Yuanzhen bent the corner of his mouth.

"Don't take it lightly, and don't take it too seriously."

Ji Cixi looked at Chen Yuanzhen, as if she understood, but also seemed to ignore what she was saying at all.

Chen Yuanzhen stood up, and she let out a long sigh of relief.

"This money is not given to you, it is considered working funds, and you don't have to pay it back."

After hearing this, Ji Cixi turned around and prepared to leave.

She had just taken a few steps before turning around again.

"Have you ever thought about it?"

"What?" Chen Yuanzhen asked with a smile.

"Thought why you would test me again and again?"

Chen Yuanzhen was startled and did not answer.

"Compared to me, the person who is more unable to accept what is about to face is you."

After Ji Cixi finished speaking, her eyes stayed on Chen Yuanzhen's face for a while, and then she walked away quickly.

Chen Yuanzhen stood where she was, clenched her hands into fists, and her fingertips covered with bright red nail polish almost sank into her palms.Her eyes still stayed in the direction Ji Cixi left.

In fact, when Ji Cixi picked up the bank card just now, she wanted to stop it.

But when the words came to her lips, she didn't say them.

Chen Yuanzhen rubbed her soft hair somewhat confusedly.

What kind of mentality is it?

Chen Yuanzhen understood it very well, but did not dare to admit it.

She hoped that Ji Cixi could accompany her.

It started with her determination to stand at the top of the Chen family and make the entire Chen family her own.There is no longer the word dream in her life.

Her life has been completely full of intrigues and never-ending struggles, and she has sunk in the deep and smelly water of the so-called "upper class" under the identity of the third lady of a wealthy family.

But Ji Cixi is not.

The coldness in her eyebrows and eyes is also good, and her persistence in dignity is also good.

It has become Chen Yuanzhen's unattainable luxury.

It would be great if such an innocent woman could sink with her in this pool of black water.

Just now, this idea popped up in Chen Yuanzhen's brain.

It was this momentary distraction that prompted her not to say what she had stopped.

Chen Yuanzhen closed her eyes in annoyance, and knocked herself on the head.

"It must be because I've been too tired lately..." She muttered, looking down at the tea table, only then did she see two round oranges① placed in a plate on the tea table.

"It really is……"

She wanted to say that it was really appropriate, but before she could finish speaking, she fell silent again.

Back in her room, Ji Cixi changed her clothes, went to the sofa and sat down.

She reached out to pick up the oranges on the plate on the coffee table, peeled them and ate them.

The sweet and sour juice soaked into the tip of his tongue, and Ji Cixi instantly felt his nerves soothed a lot.

She took out the bank card from her pants pocket with two fingers and put it on the coffee table.

"This money... what to do with it."

She rested her chin and thought, but she couldn't think of a way.

"Don't take it lightly, and don't take it too seriously."

She whispered Chen Yuanzhen's words, thinking in her brain.

"What do you mean..."

She suddenly remembered that what Chen Yuanzhen said just now meant that she would definitely go to work with Chen Zhishan, but until now no one in the Chen Group has notified her.

How did Chen Yuanzhen judge?

Ji Cixi's brain was instantly occupied by various question marks.

But among all the questions, what puzzled Ji Cixi the most was Chen Yuanzhen's attitude.

She was the one who started it all, and she is the one who is hesitating now.

Ji Cixi didn't dare to say that she knew Chen Yuanzhen well. Chen Yuanzhen once told her how unpredictable his father was. On this point, Ji Cixi always felt that Chen Yuanzhen got his father's true biography.

Therefore, she didn't know what Chen Yuanzhen was thinking.

From childhood to adulthood, Ji Cixi has always done things very simply - set goals and accomplish them.

Relying on such a seemingly simple and rude principle of doing things, Ji Cixi has completed all the plans currently set in her life. If it wasn't because her sister brought Ji Xu into her life, she would probably still follow her goal now .

Ji Cixi, who behaved like this, was completely confused about Chen Yuanzhen, let alone trust him.

It is precisely because of this that she never accepts gifts from Chen Yuanzhen, nor does she easily have too many useless exchanges with her.

But just now, she suddenly wanted Chen Yuanzhen to talk to herself more.

Everything is fine, just talk to her a little more.

This inexplicable desire to explore startled Ji Cixi, who had always been indifferent to other people's affairs.

"Isn't it acclimatization?" She thought so, and stopped peeling the oranges.Instead, he threw the remaining half of the orange into the trash can.

The author has something to say: ①: The stem of the orange comes from "I long for someone to love me violently until death,

Know that love is as strong as death and hold me up forever.

I long for someone to destroy me, and to be destroyed by me. "—Janet Winterson, "Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit"
