mutual benefit [gl]

Of course, the huge waves can kill people, but the undercurrent hidden in the deep sea can also kill people.

Chen Yuanzhen has long understood that Chen Yuanyang's embarrassing situation is definitely not caused by himself.

As early as when Chen Zhishan handed over the Chen family estate to Chen Yuanyang, he might have seen Chen Yuanyang's ambition.

Chen's real estate is not the first industry of Chen's, but it is definitely one of the most profitable industries of Chen's.

It was also because of this that when Chen Yuanyang got the Chen's real estate, Chen Yuanzhen saw Chen Yuanshuo gritted his teeth secretly, and looked at his elder brother with unwillingness and hatred in his eyes.

But now Chen Yuanshuo is mostly laughing with Cui Jinxian at home.

At the annual meeting the year before last, Chen Yuanyang showed his father his achievements in a year in high spirits. The sales of hundreds of billions was indeed a heavy report card.

However, Chen Yuanzhen did not read happiness and excitement from Chen Zhishan's face. Chen Zhishan just smiled lightly and praised Chen Yuanyang symbolically.

From then on, Chen Yuanzhen faintly sensed that something was wrong.

Sure enough, there were frequent accidents in Chen's real estate last year, and now, such a mess has happened again.

It's just that Chen Yuanzhen is not in the mood to gloat over Chen Yuanyang's misfortune, but she also feels scared from the bottom of her heart.

As early as the year before last year's annual meeting, Chen Zhishan should have known how Chen Yuanyang's beautiful report card was made, but he did not stop Chen Yuanyang from continuing to do so, instead he kept letting it go.

Later, the stock of Chen's real estate plummeted. As the mother's family of Chen's real estate, Chen Zhishan chose to sit on the sidelines and let Chen Yuanshuo hostilely acquire the shares of the real estate.

If these are just doomed, then today's farce is completely an act of arson.

Chen Zhishan wanted to make Chen's real estate an abandoned son.

But if Chen's real estate becomes useless, then Chen Yuanyang will naturally become a useless funeral object, and Chen Yuanshuo, who took advantage of the chaos to buy shares, will also suffer heavy losses.

Before Chen Yuanzhen thought that country Y was an overseas market after all, what she wanted to do at that time was not to use this to bring down Chen Yuanyang, she just wanted to spread the negative image of Chen's real estate overseas.

But now, everything is different.

Chen Yuanzhen began to hesitate.

The largest project of Chen's real estate at present is the villa complex invested and established in country Y.

Domestic housing prices remain high, and many wealthy people in third- and fourth-tier cities are choosing to invest overseas.Especially countries like Country Y, which urgently need money and urgently need to open up.

What's more, in the past two years, the origin of many people's daily necessities has gradually changed from their own country to country Y, so many people are speculating that the next world factory may be country Y.

After all, Chen Yuanyang still has some business acumen. Compared to speculating in stocks in country Y, he chose to speculate in real estate in country Y.

He bought a large piece of land in country Y, and advertised frantically on domestic mainstream media. He made a bold statement that he wanted to build a villa complex with the world's top living experience.

As a result, a large amount of funds poured into Chen's real estate like sea water.

In the past, Chen Yuanyang still held the big-ticket real estate in the country, so even if there were some minor problems in the project of the country Y villa complex, he didn't have to worry about it.

But now, the group of villas in Country Y has become Chen Yuanyang's only lifeline.

Chen Yuanzhen understands very well that the bad domestic situation of Chen's real estate has already shaken many investors. Now she only needs to instigate the workers in country Y to go on strike. As long as the villas stop working for one day, someone will immediately ask to check out.

The capital chain of Chen's real estate was broken in an instant.

But Chen Yuanzhen hesitated now.

It's not that she couldn't bear to bring down Chen Yuanyang, but that if Chen Yuanyang collapsed, without shelter, she would have even more trouble dealing with Chen Yuanshuo.

But now that the arrow is on the line, even if she stands still, Chen Zhishan may not let Chen Yuanyang go.

The policies in the past two years have been in turmoil. Chen Zhishan probably wanted to leave the real estate market a long time ago. Anyway, the money that can be drawn from home buyers is almost exhausted. He has already made a lot of money, so there is no need Nostalgia for this place.

Chen Yuanyang will sacrifice no matter what.

In the car, Chen Yuanzhen thought and struggled for a long time, until the moment she got off the car, she finally made a final decision.

After making the phone call to Zhou Ming, Chen Yuanzhen stood there in a daze for a long time.

Although she had long since denied Chen Zhishan's six relatives in the mall, but Chen Yuanyang was his biological son, she never thought that Chen Zhishan could really do this.

She was scared and chilled.

The person she most wanted to find at this moment was Ji Cixi, but her hand holding the phone never moved.

Ji Cixi is by Gao Xiu's side now, she can't harm her.

Chen Yuanzhen suddenly realized that she was trembling now, no matter how deep her obsession was, she was still a human being after all, not a machine.

She felt a pain in her nasal cavity and her eyes were sore and swollen.

Chen Yuanzhen sniffed in panic, and she called Ji Cixi's fixed line.

Ji Cixi was not at home, and Ji Xu was in school, so Chen Yuanzhen's phone call was actually meaningless.

But even if no one answered, she could hear a burst of busy tone, which made her feel that there was still someone behind her.

She sat on the sofa with her arms around her legs and called over and over again. She did not know how many calls before she finally calmed down.

In the evening, when Ji Cixi came home, as soon as she opened the door, Ji Xu ran over and said worriedly:

"Auntie, is beautiful sister okay?"

Ji Cixi was taken aback, she closed the door, walked into the house and asked while bending over to change shoes:

"what happened?"

"It's just... beautiful sister called home a lot this afternoon."

Hearing this, Ji Cixi walked towards the phone quickly, and she saw that the call log showed that Chen Yuanzhen made more than [-] calls to his home this afternoon.

Ji Cixi frowned slightly. After what happened in the morning, she can indeed understand how Chen Yuanzhen usually confronts those people in the company.

Although Chen Yuanzhen always showed her a joking look, Ji Cixi also knew that Chen Yuanzhen would not tell her the truth about everything.

In fact, Ji Cixi knew that Chen Yuanzhen had been hiding something from herself, but she didn't care about it.

After all, in her eyes, the relationship between herself and Chen Yuanzhen is to use each other, at most they can be regarded as partners, and Chen Yuanzhen has no obligation to tell her everything.

But now, Ji Cixi suddenly felt a little angry.

She brought takeaway when she came home, so she sent Ji Xu back to her room for dinner, while she stood in the living room and called Chen Yuanzhen.

This time the phone rang for a long time, Ji Cixi was suddenly not used to it.

She only remembered now that every time she took the initiative to find Chen Yuanzhen before, no matter how late it was, Chen Yuanzhen answered the phone within three seconds, and then joked with her cheerfully.

But this time, the voice from the phone turned into a mechanical female voice.

"Sorry, you called..."

Before listening to the tedious notification tone, Ji Cixi hung up the phone, almost without any hesitation, Ji Cixi rushed directly to the door, she quickly changed her shoes, and slammed the door hard.

The sound of the door slamming alarmed Ji Xu who was in the room, and when Ji Xu ran out of the room, Ji Cixi had already disappeared.

In fact, when Ji Cixi called, Chen Yuanzhen was sleeping on the sofa.

She had a dream, not a short dream.

She dreamed of her dead mother and the bloody cat again.

Chen Yuanzhen struggled, trying to get out of the nightmare, but in vain, she still had to experience the death of her mother and the cruel murder of her second brother in her dream again.

Probably because he hadn't vented his emotions for too long, Chen Yuanzhen burst into tears in his dream.

"Why are you crying?"

A sudden female voice came, and Chen Yuanzhen looked up with tears in his eyes, but he couldn't see the woman's face clearly.

"Why are you crying?"

The woman repeated.

Chen Yuanzhen felt that voice was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

She felt that the name seemed to be on her lips, but she couldn't say it.

Opening his eyes suddenly, Chen Yuanzhen found himself lying in the dark living room.

She returned to reality, but with lingering fears.

"Bang bang bang-"

There was a hasty knock on the door, and Chen Yuanzhen turned to look at the door of his own house.

The person who knocked on the door seemed to be in a hurry, so instead of ringing the bell, he chose to knock on the door with his hand.

"what!"

"Who is it at night!"

There were complaints from the neighbors, but the person who knocked on the door continued to slam on the door as if he didn't hear it.

Chen Yuanzhen hurriedly got up and rushed to the door, she opened the door and saw Ji Cixi standing at the door.

"you……"

Chen Yuanzhen looked at Ji Cixi's face, and the face of the neighbor standing beside her was full of disgust and complaints, but Ji Cixi seemed not to see it, and just looked at Chen Yuanzhen directly.

As if she was the only one in this world.

Chen Yuanzhen came to his senses, and hurriedly apologized to the neighbors with a lost smile instead of Ji Cixi, and then let Ji Cixi into the house.

After closing the door, Chen Yuanzhen turned and turned on the light in the living room.

The two stood facing each other, and the air seemed to freeze between them for a moment.

"You...why did you come here without saying anything?"

Chen Yuanzhen asked with a dry smile.

Ji Cixi didn't speak, but just looked at her.

"Hmm... Is it because I called home in the afternoon, in fact, it's nothing, just, at that time..."

"If you can't find an excuse, don't look for it, it's very boring." Ji Cixi interrupted.

Chen Yuanzhen was speechless.

"Have you had dinner yet?" she asked.

Chen Yuanzhen didn't speak, but forced a smile and shook his head.

Ji Cixi glanced at her, didn't speak, and walked past her, took off her coat, threw it on the sofa, rolled up the sleeves of her shirt, and walked into the kitchen.

Not long after, Chen Yuanzhen, who was still standing there, heard the sound of cutting vegetables in the kitchen.
