Chen Xi followed the person who received her into the VIP lounge. Seeing that there were almost no changes to the decorations and furnishings, she felt a sense of familiarity.
She remembered that when she had first arrived in France, she had not been able to withstand so many changes, both physically and psychologically. She had never wanted to have any contact with anyone.
"What's wrong with you? "Are you not feeling well?" Chen Yiran asked worriedly.
"I told you that you're wearing too little. Did you bring your medicine?" Chen Yiran asked.
"In the bag." Chen Xi pointed to the bag placed on the chair.
Chen Yiran shook her head helplessly, then walked over and found the bottle of medicine she was carrying in her bag.
Since three years ago, when Chen Yiran had finished treating her, he had discovered that she had a symptom of dizziness and tightness in her chest. When he went to the hospital, she didn't want to go to the hospital for treatment, so he kept prescribing medicine for her to take.
It had been a long time since she felt dizzy and her chest felt stuffy. Why did she have to do it again now?
After taking the pill, her dizziness had somewhat lessened. She sat on the sofa to rest, feeling somewhat helpless.
The corner of her mouth revealed a bitter smile. Chen Yiran had said that she had mental illness called mental state disorder, which was a type of emotional disturbance.
The feelings she had given had been trampled and ravaged, along with her dignity.
"Xi Xi, are you sure you're alright? "I can see that your face is extremely pale. Otherwise, why don't you change the date of the contract?" Chen Yiran suggested.
"No need. I'm really fine. It's going to start in ten minutes. Don't worry." Chen Xi said softly.
"Okay, then if there's anything you feel uncomfortable about, you have to tell me." Chen Yiran was still a little worried.
Chen Xi nodded.
However, no one noticed that Tony had sneaked out.
Especially when they were in a strange place, Tony liked to wander around. That was why she sneaked out when Chen Xi and Chen Yiran were not paying attention to her.
Although there was a calmness on his face that far surpassed his age, he was still a child after all. He liked new things, such as now.
"Auntie, what are you doing?" He spoke in pure French and spoke fluently and clearly.
Duan Wenyu turned her head abruptly, a trace of panic flashing across her face. When she saw that it was a little kid, she slightly calmed down.
However, when Duan Wenyu saw clearly Tony's appearance, she was suddenly startled. This little boy who looked like a doll, why did he look so familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before?
"Who are you? Why are we here? " Duan Wenyu asked.
"You are in my Mummy, what are you doing in front of my room?" Tony's tone suddenly became very old, and he still spoke fluent French.
Duan Wenyu felt that the way he spoke sounded very familiar. Just who did this child look like?
"You speak French? What's his name? "8. Duan Wenyu squatted in front of him and asked with a smile.
"What is that thing in your hand?" Tony answered irresponsibly, then looked at her hand, which was hidden behind her back.
Duan Wenyu said with a cold heart as she hurriedly tightened her grip on the thing in her hand and smiled.
"Little friend, you are mistaken, there is nothing here. You said before, the person in this room is your mother, then is your mother the jewelry designer, Chen Xi?" Duan Wenyu asked.
When Tony saw that she could call out her mother's name, she immediately let her guard down.
He nodded slightly.
"Good girl, then who is your father?" Duan Wenyu asked.
Tony was about to answer when the door was suddenly yanked open.
"Daddy." Tony cried happily.
Duan Wenyu turned around. This man was very good-looking, with exquisite facial features and an extraordinary temperament.
His expression was just a bit cold. He reached out his hand to pull Tony over and gently berated her.
"Who let you run around? Come in." Chen Yiran's French was much better than Tony's.
Duan Wenyu looked at them, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, Chen Yiran only nodded at her, and pulled Tony in.
Duan Wenyu sneered.
She looked at what she had in her hand before walking over to the trash can and threw it into the trash can.
She had wanted to use glue to lock the door and destroy the signing ceremony, but now that she saw Tony, she had a plan in mind.
"Tony, where did you go?" Chen Xi asked with a straight face.
"I didn't. I saw an aunt at the door just now. She's so weird." Tony tilted his head.
Chen Xi suddenly asked nervously.
"Auntie?" What aunt? "
"She's just a very beautiful aunt." Tony replied.
Chen Xi knew that Tony could meet her old friends here at any time.
She knew that these were inevitable. Sooner or later, she would meet him, but she didn't want him to meet her on the first day.
After all, she didn't come back for Tony to recognize.
The door was pushed open.
"Miss Chen, the signing ceremony will begin in three minutes. Please come and prepare it with me." The person who entered was Meng Qingxia's assistant, a very cute girl.
Chen Xi was slightly startled.
"Shouldn't it be your Director? "Who are you?"
"My apologies Miss Chen, but our Director is unable to leave the venue. I am his assistant, and was asked by the Director to come and invite you." The assistant lady explained gently.
Chen Xi nodded and looked at Chen Yiran. After a while, he would be able to meet the lady he missed.
This could also be considered as the favor that she had returned to him.
"Brother Yiran, come with me." Chen Xi laughed.
"Forget it, Tony and I will just wait here for you." Chen Yiran said.
"It's fine, you're my assistant today, aren't you supposed to follow me?" Chen Xi said gently.
"But Tony."
"It's fine, take it with you." Chen Xi caressed Tony's soft face.
"But, you're not afraid of those reporters, you know Tony is..."
"That won't happen. This is the first time those reporters have seen me, how could they know that he is a child? Don't worry, come with me." Chen Xi's voice seemed to carry a bewitching power.
For some reason, Chen Yiran agreed to it. When he followed Chen Xi to the backstage, it was very quiet.
"Mummy, what are you going to do later?" Tony whispered.
Mummy, wait, you have to go to the stage in front. No matter what happens, you have to follow Uncle carefully. Chen Xi explained.
"Alright, I understand." Tony nodded.
"What's going to happen?" Chen Yiran asked suspiciously.
"Nope." Chen Xi smiled faintly.
Chen Xi's heart suddenly jumped very quickly. She did not feel the excitement from seeing an old friend, only dizziness and nausea.
She shook her body, quickly being supported by Chen Yiran.
"Xi Xi, what's wrong? "Are you alright? Didn't you just take some medicine? What's going on?" Chen Yiran grabbed Chen Xi's wrist, then he measured her heartbeat.
"Why is my heart beating so fast? No way, let's go back." Chen Yiran grabbed her wrist, his face ashen as he spoke with determination.
"Mummy, what's wrong?" Tony grabbed the hem of her dress and shook it, looking uneasy.
Chen Xi patted Tony's head to appease her.
"I'm fine, Brother Yiran, you scared Tony, I'm fine." Chen Xi tried her best to control her own mental discomfort.
"Don't try to be brave." Chen Yiran said.
"It's really nothing." Now that things had come to this, she would not give up and back off.
Fortunately, they did not know the reason for her return. Otherwise, they would have stopped her.
Chen Yiran was helpless, seeing that he could not move her, he could only shake his head, he knew Chen Xi's temper was bad, there was no point in trying to persuade him.
"It's just a signing ceremony, is it really that important? Previously, those famous jewelry companies in France sent you invitations, but they were not as enthusiastic as you. Why is it that you took a fancy to the little Tang family?" Chen Yiran complained softly.
Chen Xi slowly calmed her dizzy head.
"It might be fated." Chen Xi forced out a smile.
"Besides, I've already promised him. I can't go back on my word, can I?"
"Alright, alright, alright. Everything is reasonable, okay?" Chen Yiran snorted.
Chen Xi smiled and did not speak anymore.
A familiar yet foreign voice came through the huge stereo.
"Friends reporters, thank you all for coming here to witness our Tang clan's jewellery in your busy schedule. In this important moment of development, our Tang clan's jewellery, which we have always carried out, loved above all else, has always been loved by a large number of customers. But now …" Meng Qingxia enunciated every word on the speech without missing anything.
who was backstage, at the instant Meng Qingxia's voice sounded, his heart tightened as a few cracks suddenly appeared on his face. This sound that he hadn't heard in a long time …
Even after a thousand years, he could still hear it.
"Uncle, my hand, you're holding it too tightly." Tony's face twisted as he struggled to pull out from Chen Yiran's tightly clenched fist.
Seeing Chen Yiran's expression, Chen Xi knew that she had guessed it.
"Xi Xi, I, she..." He suddenly felt a bit excited, but he was also afraid that it was all for nothing.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xi pretended not to know.
He did not speak again, but his eyes shone with a light she had never seen before.
