until now

Even Chen Xiao, who is always used to keeping everything under control, will sometimes make mistakes in his predictions.Today, Chen Xiao especially looked very anxious. Wearing a well-tailored suit on his body made the man even more ruthless.

"Anyone standing within five meters of you can freeze to death with your face," Su Xinran joked as she walked forward with champagne in front of Chen Xiao.Exquisite makeup, dresses, and elegant manners made Su Xinran particularly dazzling at the ball.

Chen Xiao raised his glass to a girl not far away to say hello, then turned his head to respond to Su Xinran's teasing: "You should wear more clothes before you come to me."

"That's not necessary. After such a long time, I've already been immune to your iceberg aura." Su Xinran took a sip of champagne, "Don't think I don't know your little thoughts..."

This kind of disrupted plan really made it impossible for Chen Xiao to warm up. It was supposed to be a day to discuss plans with Song Yuleixue in the old house. Of course, it also included Chen Xiao's careful thought of wanting them to know Shen Feng. .

Well, admit it, Chen Xiao, in fact, today is the day when we should see Shen Feng.

Ever since he received the news that Chen Qisheng was going to hold a dance party, Chen Xiao's aura had dropped below zero, which once made the surrounding employees who wanted to report to work afraid to get close.

However, not everyone is afraid of him, there are always people who will ignore the aura and face difficulties, such as Chen Xiao's tireless pursuer, Mu Rou.

"It's troublesome, I'll go first," Su Xinran nodded her chin in a certain direction, turned around and gave Chen Xiao a decent order without the slightest messy leadership. gaze.

"Chen Qisheng has been staring at you all the time, and it's not the time to put away your aura." Su Xinran smiled, and went to another place to entertain guests after speaking.

Chen Jun, the eldest son of the Chen family, is also Su Xinran's new husband.He never cared about the family's business, and only did research work when he traveled abroad. He only stayed in the Chen family for a while when he got married a few months ago.

The Chen family was originally sparsely populated, and there were even more sidelines who were eyeing it. It was only because the eldest son did not take over that Chen Qisheng would find Chen Xiao back. Su Xinran had also been repeatedly told by Chen Jun not to meddle in the family affairs too much.

In recent years, the Mu family has been occupying the top spot in Baicheng's asset rankings, so they are naturally the targets of each family's competition to curry favor with each other. It is naturally not a better thing to be able to hook up with the eldest daughter of the Mu family, Mu Rou, to facilitate the marriage of the two families.However, Mu Rou favored Chen Xiao very much, which made a group of wealthy children feel aggrieved. Chen Xiao was just an illegitimate child that the Chen family only recognized two years ago.

Although Chen Xiao didn't want such a good thing either.

Mu Rou wore her hair in an elegant bun, and a long white skirt was below her knees, revealing only her fair ankles, making her more mature and elegant.The woman took her father's arm and walked to stand in front of Chen Xiao, showing a sweet smile that was harmless to humans and animals.

"Father, this is the young master of the Chen family I've been telling you about, Chen Xiao," Mu Rouyu let go of Mu Yan's hand with a sweet smile, and stood beside Chen Xiao. Father-in-law's rhythm.

Chen Xiao put on a polite smile, bowed respectfully and shook hands, showing a cautious attitude that a junior should have, and Chen Qisheng, who had been watching the Mu family's movements for a long time, also came over with a square step and a smile.

"Brother Mu, long time no see. The last time Xiao Rou came to my house as a guest, I almost didn't recognize her. She's really a big girl, and I can't even recognize the pretty ones." Chen Qisheng approached warmly, completely ignoring the other Fang has a slightly distant expression.

"My little girl is messing around. She came to harass me without saying hello. I hope Brother Chen will understand that young people like to make troubles." Mu Yanpi practiced Tai Chi with a smile on his face.

"Where is it?" Chen Qisheng smiled, and patted Chen Xiao on the shoulder intentionally or unknowingly, "I don't care about their young people, but don't worry, Chen Xiao dares to bully Xiaorou, I will interrupt him." Legs, haha..." From the beginning to the end, Mu Yan never affirmed the matter between Chen Xiao and Mu Rou, while Chen Qisheng was thick-skinned, relying on Mu Rou's slight affection for Chen Xiao, he wanted to be able to climb up to Mu Rou. Home.

Chen Xiao smiled obediently and said nothing, Chen Qisheng had told him to hold Mu Rou long ago, but Chen Xiao's answer was ambiguous, which gave Chen Qisheng the illusion that this marriage is likely to happen.

Chen Xiao didn't mind treating him in the same way as he did. He knew very well that the higher a person's expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Before the two families could say a few words, there was a low-pitched discussion in the hallway, which attracted everyone's attention. A pair of golden boys and girls walked in, receiving everyone's attention. It was Song Yu and Lei Xue who had just returned .

The Song family and the Lei family are also forces that cannot be ignored in Baicheng, especially the two young heirs of the Song and Lei family. They are usually unknown, but recently they have suddenly attracted attention. Not only did the two join forces to marry, but they also wanted to acquire the Chen family. Its subordinate property suppresses the business of the Chen family, putting the Chen family in a dilemma. Otherwise, Chen Qisheng would not be so eager to win over the Mu family and find a stronger backing for himself.

Standing behind the others, Chen Xiao looked at the provocative gazes of Song Yu and Lei Xue, finally a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but his gaze became even colder.

Chen Qisheng, I don't know if you will enjoy this game of chess...

Song Yu and Lei Xue's return to China one after another is undoubtedly a major event in the business community of Baicheng.However, the high-profile cooperation between the Lei and Song families put a lot of pressure on the Chen family, which led Chen Qisheng to seek Chen Xiao to discuss countermeasures and put pressure on them.As soon as the banquet was over, Chen Xiao was called to the study by Chen Qisheng.

"Chen Xiao, your eldest brother doesn't live up to expectations, and the second and third brothers are always drinking and drinking, and my only hope is you." In Chen Qisheng's office, a middle-aged man who had begun to bald put his hand on Chen Xiao's shoulder "Mu Rou likes you very much, Dad can tell, you must seize this opportunity, and I will only leave it to you, I know that Dad owed you too much before, you believe me, as long as you succeed in getting the Mu family , you will have a bright future."

"Yes, Dad, I understand." Chen Xiao bowed his head respectfully, very sincerely.

"Recently, for some reason, the Lei family and the Song family are eyeing our family's real estate industry again. This is the head of the Chen family. You must check it out, understand? Dad believes in your ability." Chen Qisheng let go of his hand and walked away. Go back to your position.

"With my dad as my backing, I will definitely work hard to do a good job, not to mention that I am still very inexperienced, and I still need my dad to intervene to check many things." Chen Xiao's tone was sincere and very humble.

Chen Qisheng smiled and waved his hands: "I'm old, now it's all your young people's world, you just let it go, I believe in you. But, remember the most important one, Mu Rou..."

"Yes, Dad." Chen Xiao looked up at Chen Qisheng, his eyes were full of confidence and certainty.

"Go back." Chen Qisheng nodded.

Chen Xiao slightly bent his waist, lowered his eyebrows and retreated pleasingly, completely losing his usual sharpness.

Chen Xiao naturally knew that Chen Qisheng, a crafty fox, would not trust appearances.And so it is.

The door of the study room was gently closed, Chen Qisheng touched his clean chin, thought for a moment, and pressed the call button on the office phone.

"Find someone to stare at him." There was no longer the warmth of father and son in the words, only greed and fierceness in the eyes.

After ordering Gu Jing to do other tasks, Chen Xiao drove his own car back to the high-rise apartment he bought in the city center.The well-decorated room still lacked a bit of popularity. Looking at the unopened framed sketch standing at the door, Chen Xiao thought of the painter who always had a smile on his face.

Unexpectedly, I was a little concerned, it seemed like I hadn't seen him for a long time even though I had only left for a short time.

Chen Xiao pulled off his tie to open his neckline slightly, and looked at himself in the mirror, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with an expressionless face, as if he was tired of coping with the banquet.Sometimes he doubts himself, can he really laugh?

The kind of laugh that comes from the heart.

Chen Xiao childishly pulled his facial muscles in front of the mirror, trying to make himself look relaxed, but his expression became even more ferocious.Chen Xiao took a deep breath, picked up the key and went out again.

It was rare to go back to the old house, and it made Chen Xiao so nervous.It was already evening when we arrived at the place, and the gloomy weather made it dark earlier, but Chen Xiao who opened the door paused in his footsteps.

It was pitch black, with no lights.

A sneer twitched from the corner of Chen Xiao's mouth, was he so hard to expect something?

The curtains were closed by someone, and the room was even darker. Chen Xiao didn't rush to turn on the lights, and just stood still in the dark room, feeling the only remaining sound of his own breathing, and the never-before-seen sound of breathing. , the feeling of being left out.

When my mother passed away, I was never so sad.

The next second, there was the sound of the door opening and closing, and the light was turned on.

Seeing the man suddenly appearing in the room, Shen Feng was undoubtedly taken aback. The arm holding the little wonton subconsciously tightened, and the pinched little wonton roared angrily, broke free, and walked around behind Chen Xiao.

The moment the light came on, Chen Xiao felt that his restless heart was soothed, and even the cat, who was usually scared, looked much cuter now.

Shen Feng was a little frightened, and wanted to ask: "You—"Why are you here?

The words were ordinary, but he stopped immediately, calmed down his mood, and quickly calmed down, Shen Feng put on the usual gentle smile on his face again, and said: "Are you back?"

At that moment, Chen Xiao really wanted to go up to him and hug him.

But he didn't, he just felt that his facial muscles were pulling upwards uncontrollably, full of satisfaction.

"Well, I'm back."
