"Why are you two staying over there? Hurry up and come over for dinner."

"You two aren't tired even after a day on the plane, and you're still standing there staring at each other." How could she forget to bring the only snack in the house, Rice Ball, out of the kitchen just in time to see Chen Xi and his mother sitting on the sofa with a flat plate in one hand and the other standing in front of the sofa with the phone in the other.

Wen Mengyang could not help but interrupt their journey of cultivation.

"My dad seems to know about my return home." Chen Xi returned to his senses, walked over to the sofa and sat beside Little Kid as he stretched and said.

"That shouldn't be the case, only I know about you bringing Little Kid home, ever since I received your mother's phone and went to the kitchen to cook, how did your father know?" Hearing Chen Xi's words, Wen Mengyang opened her eyes wide, she was worried that Chen Xi had thought that she was the one who informed Chen Xi's father, so Chen Xi's father would find out about Chen Xi bringing Little Kid back to the, and anxiously tried to defend herself.

"Of course I know that it's not you. My dad found out about the news about us returning back home 24 hours after me and Steamed Bun just got back, so how could Chen Yi and her daughter be so kind as to tell my dad about me returning back home. The two of them really wanted me to leave the Chen family as soon as possible, so how could they even push me towards my dad?" Hearing Wen Mengyang's words, Chen Xi knew that Wen Mengyang had misunderstood his meaning, and unhappily stared at Wen Mengyang as he organized his thoughts and analyzed them one by one.

Chen Xi spoke of Chen Yi's mother. Three months after Chen Xi's mother suddenly left for some unknown reason, she brought Chen Yi to the Chen family. At that time, Chen Xi was already two and a half years old.

Ever since Chen Yi's mother came to the Chen family, Chen Xi's life had undergone some subtle changes.

Ever since Chen Yi was born in the Chen Family, his life became even more difficult.

That kind of difficult life was no longer the same life he had when Chen Xi's father was not around.

when Chen Xi's father was at home, Chen Yi and her daughter could both order Chen Xi to do what servants should have done in front of Chen Xi's father.

In the beginning, Chen Xi's father still wanted to teach his mother a lesson. But later on, Chen Xi's father seemed to have already become numb to Chen Yi's mother's attitude towards her, and when Chen Yi's mother ordered Chen Xi to do anything, Chen Xi's father did not make a move to stop her.

Chen Xi's father had often told Chen Xi in private that Chen Yi was still young, and that Chen Yi's mother was not her mother after all.

However, Chen Xi's father had once guaranteed to Chen Xi that as long as it was something that Chen Yi possessed, Chen Xi's father would do everything in his power to allow him to possess everything that Chen Yi possessed.

As the days passed, the Chen family's business slowly became busy. Chen Xi's father slowly spent more time outside of the company or on business, he very rarely spent time at home.

Therefore, Chen Xi's future days were even more miserable.

So much so that once, when Chen Yi's mother bought an expensive necklace for Chen Yi to use as a gift for an 18-year-old coming of age ceremony, Chen Xi's father realized that Chen Xi was already twenty years old, yet had not even given Chen Xi a single gift. Even his annual birthday: The difference between Chen Xi and Chen Xi's birthplace was like the difference between heaven and earth.

Chen Yi had a luxurious birthday banquet, and Chen Yi's mother had even set down a large sum of money to give him a luxurious set of birthday pans on the cruise ship when he was eighteen years old.

But, for Chen Xi's 18 year old coming of age ceremony, there were only the two of them sitting on the side of the road at the entrance of the school, talking and playing with each other.

That day, Chen Xi's father also quietly gave Chen Yi a bracelet that was worth a lot of money: Coincidentally, saw it when he was just passing by the door.

Chen Yi cried for a long, long time to tell his mother about this.

From that day onwards, Chen Xi's life became even more miserable.

Even when the two sisters each month should have the same amount of pocket money, Chen Xi's mother would still think that Chen Xi saved up as an excuse to deprive them of their share.

In regards to this, Chen Xi did not complain to his father for even a moment.

Most of the time, Chen Xi would find a home tutor for himself outside school during the weekend to earn some pocket money.

At that time, it was truly not easy for Chen Xi.

In the Chen Xi of that time, the only person who could accompany him at his side was truly Wen Mengyang alone.
