Chapter 235: This Time It's Different
"Of course, as long as you are obedient, I will always keep you by my side." Ye Cheng smiled and put some vegetables in her bowl, urging and said, "Eat quickly, otherwise it will be cold." β
Chen Xi nodded, full of emotion, lowered his head and ate silently.
Tang Xuan, who was on the side, was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and kept wiping his forehead.
After eating, Chen Xi felt that the house was not as lively as usual, it seemed to be a little quiet, and there were fewer people.
"Brother Jichen, what about grandpa and Aunt Zhao? Why didn't you see them? β
She felt a little strange, the current situation of the Luo family, where else could the two of them go if they didn't stay at home?
Ye Cheng was silent for a moment, and didn't answer her words, but looked at Tang Xuan and asked, "Didn't you tell her?" β
"I'm in a hurry to come back, and I haven't had time to say yet." Tang Xuan pulled Chen Xi over as she spoke, and whispered to her: "Since the accident of the Luo's Group, the old man has fallen ill, and now he is still in the hospital and has not come out. β
"Grandpa is sick?" Chen Xi was only taken aback for a moment, and quickly calmed down.
At Luo Yihai's age, his physical condition has always been bad, and he has been repeatedly hit in a short period of time, and it is normal for him to fall ill.
And in these days in prison, she has figured out one thing.
If you want to really gain a foothold in the Luo family, it is useless to curry favor with Luo Yihai. She must rely on her own strength to make Luo Jichen and Luo Yihai recognize her. Only when they feel that they are useful and the Luo family needs them will they really value her.
So this time, when she heard the news of Luo Yihai's hospitalization, she didn't rush to visit.
After the nanny cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table and left, she asked Luo Jichen, "Brother Jichen, I heard that something happened to the company." Grandpa couldn't accept this reality for a while, so he fell ill. The most important thing now is to quickly find a way to solve the problem in front of you. β
Ye Cheng nodded, very satisfied with her self-conscious attitude, "You are right, the problems faced by the company today are different from those in the past, and I also need your help." β
"Need my help?" Chen Xi was a little surprised.
Brother Ji Chen had never said such things to her, which made her feel unprecedented trust and dependence, "What do you want me to do, Brother Ji Chen, as long as you say it, I will definitely do it for you." β
"The biggest problem now is the Cheng Group." Ye Cheng told her about what Luo's Group had experienced recently, of course, skipping his pretending to be Luo Jichen and returning to Luo's house, as well as various temptations to Lin Jiang and Chen Fu.
"I'll get you back to work tomorrow. I know you're the best at people management, the people who help me keep an eye on the company, and a few shareholders. β
"This is simple, Brother Jichen, don't worry!" Chen Xi was excited when he heard that he would be able to return to the company soon.
That's what she does best.
As long as she can go back, she can guarantee that it won't be long before she can build a small team of her own in the Rocks Group with her own ability. This time, without Soho's troubles, she won't be soft again. When the entire Luo's Group is controlled by himself, Brother Ji Chen can no longer live without himself.
Thinking about it, she was a little proud, and there was a slight smile on her face.
The undisguised smile was seen by Ye Cheng on the opposite side and Tang Xuan next to him.
But Ye Cheng didn't say anything.
What Chen Xi thought, he didn't care at all, as long as she was useful to him and could help herself.
Tang Xuan was in a complicated mood, she was naturally happy that her daughter could rekindle her hope for life. But her hopes were based on deception and exploitation, which made her afraid.
I was afraid that one day, Chen Xi would suddenly recognize that the person in front of him was not the real Luo Jichen, and he would do something reckless.
In the evening, Zhao Lili really came back from outside.
It seemed that he had known that Chen Xi would come back today, and he was not surprised to see her, but he just sneered, and walked past her without even bothering to say hello.
Chen Xi originally wanted to say something, but seeing that she was lukewarm, he didn't want to put a hot face on his cold ass.
She doesn't even bother to please Luo Yihai now, let alone Zhao Lili.
If Zhao Lili is just cold to herself, it would be okay, at least she would be fine. If you just came to her trouble, or if you hindered what she was going to do, as before, blame her for being unsympathetic.
Looking at Zhao Lili's back as she went upstairs, her eyes were full of disdain.
After dinner, Tang Xuan pulled Chen Xi closer to the room, wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he didn't say anything, just explained a few words to her. Let her try her best to help Luo Jichen and revive the Luo's Group.
"Mom, don't worry. Brother Jichen's matter is my business, and I will naturally do my best. Chen Xi smiled lightly, and then asked her, "I heard that Brother Jichen didn't send someone to find Soho?" Is it true? β
Hearing her ask this, Tang Xuan hesitated, and the worry in his eyes deepened, but he still answered truthfully.
"I didn't look for it. Now that there is such a big thing at home, how can he still have the energy to find a person who has no news, he has been in the company almost every day recently, and only occasionally comes back at night. β
"You mean, Brother Ji Chen, in addition to being in the company now, is going back to Luo's house." Chen Xi seemed to hear some surprise news, and asked, "Won't he go back to his previous villa?" β
That villa is where he and Soho have lived since their marriage.
After Soho fell into the sea four years ago, Jichen's brother has been living there alone, and he doesn't let others disturb him.
At first, she just thought that he was nostalgic and used to living in a place and was reluctant to move. It wasn't until Soho returned to Nancheng again that she suddenly came to her senses.
He's not nostalgic, he's just nostalgic for Soho.
In the past four years, it was himself who was by his side, but it was Soho who occupied his heart.
But this time is different, she won't be as naΓ―ve as before, and she won't give Soho any more chances. This time, Brother Ji Chen will only belong to himself, and no one can snatch it anymore!
"yes." Tang Xuan didn't know that there was such a story in it, and told her uneasily, "You will go to the company from tomorrow, stay with Ji Chen all day long, be careful in everything, don't annoy him." β
"I understand." Chen Xi thought that she was the same as before, worried that her entanglement would annoy Luo Jichen, but she was even more alienated from herself, and said with a smile: "Mom, I am no longer the Chen Xi I used to be, don't worry!" β
