Chen Xi, who was at the side, still looked angry, but there was already regret in her eyes. In fact, when Tony was crying, she already regretted it.
Seeing Chen Xi standing in front of him with her head lowered, Han Hao had a face of helplessness. He didn't know what was going on with this mother and daughter pair, and only looked at her furious and aggrieved face.
"What are you shouting for? You bullied your son, yet you still have the face to shout." Chen Yiran who was walking straight ahead said with a cold voice.
Chen Yiran looked at her and sighed.
"Xi Xi, do you know that doing that just now would cause Tony psychological harm? Have you ever thought about it?" Chen Yiran asked.
"I, I know, I'm sorry." Chen Xi knew that she was just too excited and impulsive. She shouldn't have said those words to Tony, but it was too late for regret now.
Chen Yiran pulled Chen Xi to the side and sat on the sofa.
"What's the use of you telling me you're sorry? I know what Tony said just now was too much of a shock, but you …" Sigh, forget it, I won't talk about you anymore. " Chen Yiran didn't want to say anymore as he continued to speak.
"I know I was wrong." Chen Xi said indifferently.
For a moment, the three were silent.
"Xi Xi, what Tony said was not wrong. He needs a father. A child at this age needs a father's love right now, so how can you take away his rights to enjoy a father's love?" Chen Yiran said.
"I just don't understand why I need my dad. Isn't it enough for Tony to have me, you, and so many people who care about him?" Chen Xi explained.
"How can you not understand that even if we love Tony, we can't take the place of our father's love? I know you don't want Tony's father, and I'm not going to force you, but can you wake up and see the reality? " Chen Yiran said.
"Alright, Ah Ran, stop talking, Brook already knows your wrongs, stop teaching her a lesson." Han Hao said.
"Just get used to her." Chen Yiran lightly snorted.
"Ah Ran, I think you understand Little River's feelings the most, right? All these years, haven't you been looking for Meng …"
"Enough." Chen Yiran interrupted Han Hao with a cold voice, then stood up and left.
Seeing Chen Yiran leave, Han Hao could not help but shake his head and sigh. Why would he need to do that?
"Brook, don't care about Ah Ran's words. He just wants to say it." Han Hao advised.
"I know, Brother Yiran is actually right. It's because all these years I had been trying to escape, never willing to face it, and had always been self-righteous." Chen Xi laughed bitterly.
"I know I shouldn't be asking you, but can you tell me, Brook, about Tony's father?" Han Hao said as he observed Chen Xi's expression.
But looking at Chen Xi's expression, it seemed that he did not want to say it, and thus he regretted it a little.
"Little Brook, I don't want to force you. If you don't want to say it, then forget it." Han Hao said with a smile.
Chen Xi suddenly lowered her head and laughed.
"Actually, there's nothing that I can't say. It's just that I forgot, everything about the past already has nothing to do with me. I'm Chen Xi now, and I'm Chen Xi for the rest of my life. I'm just me right now. " Chen Xi said indifferently.
Han Hao looked at her and only laughed, he did not say anything else. Looking at the current Chen Xi, he felt a little absent-minded, and compared to the Chen Xi he had first seen three years ago, he was basically two different people.
In truth, at that time, she was not even called Chen Xi, and he did not feel at ease as he did not know her name and background. He thought that she approached Chen Yiran with a purpose, he had seen many women like this, he knew what tricks she had up her sleeve, and he thought that Chen Xi was the same kind of person.
But only later did he realize how outrageously wrong he had been.
"Little Brook, I know that no matter what you've experienced before, I will always be by your side. And Tony, I will always be by your side." Han Hao said gently.
"Thank you, Brother Han Hao. I think I really owe Tony a lot, right? Right now, he is still very young, and he doesn't know a lot. But after he grows up, I really don't dare to imagine his future life." Chen Xi sighed and said.
"Brook, since you were so worried about Tony, did it never occur to you to go to Tony's father?" Han Hao asked seriously.
"No, never." Chen Xi said.
"Alright, I won't ask again in the future. Prepare to return home the day after tomorrow." Han Hao said with a smile.
Chen Xi nodded.
"Then I'll go back first. Have a good rest." Han Hao said.
Chen Xi looked at the dark sky outside and said softly.
"Alright, then be careful when you drive."
"Alright, then I'll be leaving first." Han Hao said as he stood up and left.
After Han Hao left, she sat alone for a long time. She knew that there was something wrong with her attitude this time, she shouldn't have rashly lost her temper whenever she mentioned the things from the past.
Thinking of this, she felt even more regretful.
The night gradually became darker, the French night was cold, Chen Xi tightly wrapped her cloak around her, standing under the parasol tree and quietly looking at the leaves under the lamp.
"Xi Xi." A benevolent voice came from behind her.
Chen Xi turned her head and smiled at the person.
"What are you doing here?" Mr. Chen looked at Chen Xi and asked softly.
"Dad, mom, you haven't slept yet?" Seeing them, Chen Xi smiled sincerely.
"No, Tony is asleep. The maid is with him. Don't worry." Madam Chen said gently, as if trying to comfort her.
He gave her a reassuring smile.
"Thank you, Mom and Dad." Chen Xi smiled gratefully.
"Family, what are you thanking me for, foolish child?" Lady Chen said.
The Chen family still had no children even in their middle years, and this had always been their regret, but it did not affect their relationship at all. Instead, it was getting better and better, and after dozens of years of trials and hardships had come here, they had always treated Chen Yiran as their own child. He was the child of Big Brother Mr. Chen, but Chen Yiran's parents had passed away long ago, so he had always lived with the Chen family.
Later on, they met the injured Chen Xi in China. It should be said that at that time, her name was still Duan Wenzhuo.
Afterwards, they brought her back to France and changed her name to Chen Xi. She became their daughter and had been Chen Xi ever since.
They had asked about her background, but she had never said anything. They had never asked her about it, but after thinking about it for a while, they still couldn't help themselves and wanted to ask about it.
"Xi Xi, Tony told us today that you blame him because he wanted your father's land, right?" Lady Chen asked.
Chen Xi suddenly lowered her head and laughed.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have talked to him like that. I will apologize to him." Chen Xi replied with an irrelevant answer.
"Xi Xi, answer the question honestly." Lady Chen asked earnestly.
"Enough, don't force the child anymore. This is just an old story, what's there to mention?" Mr. Chen rebuked.
"Why can't I mention it?" Xi Xi, tell me … "
"Dad, mom, I have something to talk to you guys about." Chen Xi smiled and interrupted Madam Chen's words.
"What is it?" Mr. Chen asked.
"Today, Brother Han Hao came to China and said that he would like to expand his market. At the same time, he will go with him." Chen Xi said.
"We know about that. He told us about it at dinner. What happened?" Mr. Chen said.
Chen Xi looked at them with gratitude in her eyes, then said seriously.
"I want to go with them."
Mr. and Mrs. Chen looked at each other, but it was Lady Chen who finally opened her mouth.
"Xi Xi, why are you suddenly going back to China? Didn't you say that you would never return to China? If you go back, what will we do? And Tony, he's so young, he won't be used to being in a strange environment. " Lady Chen said with a reluctant tone.
"That's right, why is it so sudden?" Mr. Chen asked.
Chen Xi laughed, then said with a gentle expression.
"Actually, it wasn't that sudden. I planned to build my design into China, and coincidentally, Tang Dynasty, a big company in China, sent me a cooperation agreement, so I wanted to agree to it." Chen Xi said.
"The Tang clan? Is it the Tang Group called Tang Hongbo, the CEO? " Mr. Chen asked.
"Yes." Chen Xi nodded and said.
"The Tang clan actually sent you a cooperation agreement, from this, it seems like Xi Xi, your design is really popular, this is also a good thing." The Mr. Chen said.
"I don't know anything about big companies, but Xi Xi, I don't want you to leave, and I don't want you to leave either." Madam Han said.
"Mom, don't worry. I'm just going to sign an agreement and won't be staying there for a long time." Chen Xi pulled on Lady Chen's hand and said gently.
"Enough, the child wants to expand his or her career. What's wrong with that? It's not like he won't be able to come back." Mr. Chen said.
"Xi Xi, you don't have to leave, okay?" Lady Chen looked reluctant.
Chen Xi said with a smile.
"Mom, don't be sad, I'll be back soon." Chen Xi said.
"What if you leave, Tony?" Mr. Chen asked in a serious tone.
Chen Xi thought for a while and said.
"I want to take Tony with me."
"No, Tony has been living here since he was born. He definitely won't be used to going to China. If he goes there, you go by yourself. Tony, stay here, we'll help you bring him there." Lady Chen said.
"Mom, I know you don't want to part with Tony, but I want to take him back. After all, he still has Chinese blood on him, so I want to take him back." Chen Xi said with a smile.
