Chapter 21

People came to the door, and Chen Xu didn’t feel well. He turned around and changed into a white T, ripped jeans, and the earrings Si Ye bought him, but today he only wore it on the left ear, probably it’s because when he first got up, his hair was a bit messy, and he didn’t look like a serious person.

However, his skin is white and his facial features are exquisite. Such an outfit does not make him look like a hooligan. On the contrary, he gives off a bit of an unruly charm.

When he went downstairs, his parents were sitting on the sofa sipping tea. Uncle Zhong was entertaining them, and when he saw Chen Xu, he immediately greeted him with a smile, “Master Xu, should I prepare breakfast right now? This morning the master specifically tell the kitchen to make your favorite dish Sixi steamed dumplings¹.”

“Okay, I’ve troubled Uncle Zhong.” Chen Xu didn’t change his plan to eat breakfast just because his parents were here.

“If Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen have not had breakfast, they can eat it with Young Master Xu.” Uncle Zhong turned around and said to Chen Xu’s parents.

The Chen family head and his wife, who had originally ferociously glared at Chen Xu behind Uncle Zhong, immediately reduced the anger on their faces and said flatly, “We’ve troubled you.”

“You two are welcome.” Aunt Liu, who Uncle Zhong called to the kitchen, ordered to go down.

Chen Xu walked to the sofa and sat down, with a lax attitude, completely disregarding the Chen family head and his wife.

“Chen Xu! Are you dumb? Don’t you know how to greet someone?” Chen Xu’s father, Chen Yue, couldn’t bear Chen Xu’s challenge to his majesty as his father at all, and angrily accused him.

“Oh, Mom and Dad.” Chen Xu picked up a grape and put it in his mouth.

This attitude was completely defiant, making Chen Yue and his wife Wang Qian so angry they almost couldn’t stop themselves from hitting him.

“You! Chen Xu, who taught you these manners? Do you think that you are so great just because you’re the topper in the college entrance examination? I tell you there is someone greater in the outside world. Sooner or later you will have to smash your head!” Chen Yue slammed the table and stood up with his fingers pointing at Chen Xu, he began to teach him the principles of life.

Without raising his eyes, Chen Xu said indifferently: “No one taught me, I’m just naturally like this.”

Chen Yue was furious, to the point of getting a heart attack. His wife Wang Qian hurriedly supported him and patted his chest to help him, “Husband, don’t be angry, Xiao Xu is just irritating, Xiao Xu, you Why didn’t you even tell your parents about such a great thing as being first place in the college entrance examination?”

If the needles were hidden in the cotton, Chen Xu immediately regained his old feelings. The familiar formula and familiar taste made Chen Xu think that he was their enemy.

“You didn’t ask either.” Chen Xu directly blocked Wang Qiang’s mouth.

She smiled awkwardly and said, “You child, you are angry with mom and dad. Why would mom and dad not care about you? It’s just that you are in the Si’s house and if we are in contact with you too often, what would the Si family think? If they treat you harshly, wouldn’t we feel more distressed.”

In his last life it’s hard to say that he no longer believe these words after he reached the age of 18. At the age of twelve he was sent to Si Jia by his parents. At first, his parents coaxed him with this kind of remark, and he still believed it, but time passed and he gradually realized that they were all lies, especially when he saw the photos of their family of four who went out to play in Chen Yuqi’s circle of friends. After it happened more often, he no longer believed in the pie drawn by his parents for his sake and those so-called love him.1

In the previous life, he also wanted to question his parents, is he not their child? Why did they send him to Si Jia alone? Did they even realised that he was not happy here? Si Yichen always took the lead to bully him. He sent him under the fence, so he could only endure it by himself.

He’s going to live a new life, the answer is no longer important to him, he doesn’t need it, and doesn’t care anymore, just as he was an orphan, and he will get what he wants by himself.1

Seeing Chen Xu not speaking, Wang Qiang felt a little shudder in her heart. She turned her head to look at her husband. The two of them had always play the act of giving the stick and carrot², so why didn’t it seem to work today?1

“Young master Xu, Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen, please have breakfast.” Uncle Zhong walked over and said.

Chen Xu took the lead to get up and walk to the dining hall, not wanting to hear the two people make up a story.

Chen Yue and Wang Qian had to follow, thinking about it for a while, they tried to talk to Chen Xu at the dinner table, but Chen Xu’s cell phone rang suddenly, and then they saw Chen Xu tap twice on the phone, and then put the phone on the table and continue to have breakfast.

“Why did you eat breakfast so late?”1

*clack*

The forks in the hands of Chen Yue and Wang Qian fell on the plate at the same time, making a harsh sound.1

Chen Xu didn’t give them any attention because of the sound, but continued the video call with Si Ye.

“What sound is that? Sun Weiang and the others are there?” Si Ye thought it was Sun Weiang and Tong Jiaxi who were sitting across the table for breakfast.

“No, it’s my parents.” Chen Xu picked up a piece of Sixi steamed dumplings and put it into his mouth, his eyes turbulent.

Si Ye on the other side of the phone frowned because of this, “What are they doing?”

Chen Xu was using his phone in public, and the Chen family sitting across from him naturally heard Si Ye’s problem. They were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat for fear that Chen Xu’s words would hurt them.

They had only heard that Si Ye hosted a banquet for Chen Xu. Today, they came to see Chen Xu to prove it. If it is true, of course it would be great. This means that they can climb the branches of boss Ye and ask why Chen Xu didn’t invite them to blame Chen Xu and make him feel guilty. Then they could ask Chen Xu to ask Si Ye for help to support Chen’s company.

If it is fake, then they can also take the opportunity to beat Chen Xu to make him obedient and try to win Si Ye’s favor.

There is no need to verify this situation at all. Si Ye is treating Chen Xu differently. Si Ye, who has always been unsmiling and indifferent, actually makes a video call with Chen Xu in the early morning.

Chen Yue suddenly regretted being so fierce to Chen Xu just now. If Chen Xu was cruel, annoyed, and speak ill of them in front of Si Ye, then their Chen family would be over.

The two nervously stared at Chen Xu who was sitting across the table.

The appearance of these two people was clearly visible in the eyes of Chen Xu, who sneered and said, “I don’t know either Uncle Si.”

Si Ye remembered that in his previous life after the death of Chen Xu, the police immediately asked Chen Yue and Wang Qiang to claim Chen Xu’s body, but they did not respond to the police at all, when they received the call they hung up the phone. And the police contacted Si Ye, it was only later when Si Ye held a funeral for Chen Xu, these two people showed up at the funeral, mourning with great sorrow, but what they did looked too fake to Si Ye, and their eyes only show indifference, no sadness for Chen Xu’s death at all.

So Si Ye didn’t like these two people at all. This time at Chen Xu banquet he did not want Chen Xu to see these two, and destroy his good mood, so he neither invited Chen family nor Si family. He invite those in the business field, just to let them know that they will have to be polite when they see Chen Xu in the future, and don’t dare to be wild in front of him.

Si Ye frowned and said, “If you don’t want to see them, let Uncle Zhong drive them out.”

Chen Yue suddenly tensed up, and his heart was chilled. He didn’t expect Si Ye to say this to Chen Xu. They were Chen Xu’s parents, shouldn’t Si Ye treat them courteously?

How about those who has said that he will ascend to heaven?

Why doesn’t it work to get to Si Ye?

Si Ye’s remarks made Chen Xu amused. It feels good to be protected by someone. Chen Xu raised the corners of his lips and said, “There’s no need for that.”

“Eat breakfast well, and remember to drink the milk. If they make you unhappy, just ask Uncle Zhong to drive them out.” Si Ye didn’t have any hesitation at all, sitting across the table Chen Yue and his wife heard his words clearly. He keep telling Chen Xu to let people drive them out.

Chen Xu felt that today’s breakfast was really delicious, “Okay, Uncle Si, you work hard, I’m hanging up.”

After finishing the video call with Si Ye, Chen Xu happily ate breakfast, and drank a glass of milk obediently. Anyway, it’s not like he hates drinking milk, and it’s okay to drink more to grow taller.

But the two people sitting opposite of him were not in such a good mood. The two of them had a stomachache after eating breakfast, like sitting on pins and needles, no matter how delicious the food was in their mouths they couldn’t enjoy it.

After breakfast, the Chen couple’s attitude towards Chen Xu was completely softened, and they asked him cautiously, “Xiao Xu, Mr. Si seems to dote on you a lot?”

Chen Xu took out his mobile phone and glanced at the time and said, “If you have something to tell me say it, I’m going out soon, so I don’t have time to accompany you here.”1

His arrogant attitude suddenly made Chen Yue want to scold him, and even want to do something to him. Fortunately, Wang Qiang stopped him and gave him a wink. Now Chen Xu is Si Ye’s golden lump, how can they act as they want unless they want the sky to collapse on them?

Wang Qiang softly said: “Xiao Xu, you did a good job this time. Your parents are proud of you. Your brother and your sister are also very happy for you. This is a gift from us.”

Chen Xu glanced down at the gift box his mother had stuffed into his hand. He look at the box, it should be a watch. Wang Qiang’s eyes turned red and said, “Your parents also want to give you good things, but the company has been in a downturn recently. Your dad grew a few white hairs from dealing with the company affairs. He didn’t even have time to close his eyes for a few nights. It’s really not that your parents deliberately forgot about your college entrance examination. Your dad is so busy that he can’t even remember eating.”

If the eighteen-year-old in the previous life listened to this, he would probably be shaken, and even offered to help tide over the difficulties, but Chen Xu, who had seen the true face of these two people, would no longer be deceived.

He indifferently took out his hand held by Wang Qiang and said, “Is that right? I think my dad is in good spirits. He swears loudly and is not tired at all.”

“You!” Chen Yue really burned out at a little bit, he was pointing at Chen Xu about to curse at him, but Wang Qian hurriedly grabbed him.

“This is true, Xiaoxu, if you don’t believe it, you can go to the internet to see, how can we, parents lie to our children.” Wang Qiang sadly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.

Chen Xu was unmoved, and even retorted : “Oh, since it’s so difficult at home, Mom, it’s really not easy for you to buy a brand C bag that just came out.”

Wang Qiang flushed immediately, and she stammered and said, “Why are you saying that, Xiaoxu, you got it wrong. Mom bought this before.”

“You wasteful wife! You dare to buy bags secretly!” Chenyue’s company really encountered a difficult situation recently. When he was forced to shrink on a diet, his wife actually dared to buy bags!

“I don’t, don’t listen to Xiaoxu’s nonsense, what kind of bag does a boy knows.” Wang Qiang refused to acknowledge even if she will be beaten to death.

Chen Xu added fuel to the fire and watched from the side, “I remember this is the new summer model of the C brand. It costs about 350,000 yuan.”

“Three hundred and fifty thousand? I will kill you!” Chen Yue was anxious, raised his hand and slapped Wang Qiang.
