It was already noon, and two hours after the Tang Family signed their contract, Meng Qingxia arranged a business dinner for them. However, Chen Xi did not want to participate, but right now, she did not want to miss out on a single second of opportunity to get along with Meng Qingxia.

"Xi Xi, wait, can you go back by yourself? Can I pick you up at the hotel tonight? "

Chen Yiran was suspicious, and asked.

"Why do you still have the nerve to ask? When Director Meng left this place earlier, didn't you see her expression change?" Chen Xi shook her head and said helplessly.

"What's going on?" Chen Yiran asked somewhat anxiously.

"What else could it be? Your Director Meng misunderstood." Chen Xi shrugged and said easily.

"Misunderstanding? Misunderstanding what? " Chen Yiran asked indistinctly.

"Brother Yiran, you seem to have quite a high IQ. I didn't expect your love injury to be so low. Director Meng, seeing you together with me, misunderstood us. In other words, she's jealous. " Chen Xi helplessly explained.

Chen Yiran looked at her in disbelief.

"Heavens, how could she misunderstand? You and I, I … Sigh, forget it. As long as there's a misunderstanding and it's explained clearly, that's good. " Chen Yiran said optimistically.

"Heh, you're quite open-minded. Forget it. Your problem has been resolved. Tony, let's go." Chen Xi said, then called Tony who was playing by the side.

"Mummy, are we going back?" Tony looked up.

"Yes, Tony, Mom will take you home." Chen Xi said.

"Xi Xi, the Tang clan has already arranged for the driver to be at the door. I'll walk you and Tony out." Chen Yiran said.

Chen Xi nodded.

However, no one had expected that things would happen so quickly and so suddenly.

When Meng Qingxia and Secretary Wang arrived, they were already surrounded by the reporters.

"Designer Chen, is it true that you have an illegitimate child?"

The questions the reporters were fighting to ask were nothing more than these questions.

Chen Yiran and Chen Xi were both shocked, they never thought that the first day she came to the Tang Clan, the news had spread like this.

Chen Xi lowered her head and was forced to retreat by the reporter. Chen Yiran held Tony tightly in his embrace, preventing the reporter from patting his face.

"Xi Xi, come behind me. I'll take care of it." Chen Yiran said to Chen Xi in a low voice.

Chen Xi nodded.

"I wonder where all the reporters heard the rumors. What illegitimate child? What unmarried pregnancy? It's all just rumors. If there's any gossip that shouldn't appear in tomorrow's newspaper, then just wait for our lawyer's letter." Chen Yiran had never been so angry before.

The reporter looked at me, I looked at you, confused by Chen Yiran's sudden explanation.

"May I ask who you are?" the reporter asked.

"I am Miss Chen Xi's assistant, my name is Chen Yiran." Chen Yiran said coldly.

"Since you are an assistant, then please answer this question. Does Miss Chen Xi really have an illegitimate child?" Still unrelenting, she asked.

"What I said just now was very clear, do not talk about the catch. Your problems have already severely harmed Miss Chen Xi's reputation, I will send a letter to the lawyers." Chen Yiran said with a cold face.

However, these reporters were not pushovers, and did not care about Chen Yiran's words at all. They looked at Tony, who was in Chen Yiran's embrace, and suddenly changed the topic.

"Since Miss Chen is not married, who is this child to whom?"

The look in Chen Yiran's eyes suddenly became ice-cold. Behind Chen Yiran, Chen Xi tried her best to restrain herself, wanting to rush out to explain the situation to those reporters.

Chen Yiran said coldly with a pair of eyes.

"This is my child, it has nothing to do with designer Chen."

This sentence was clearly heard by Meng Qingxia who just happened to arrive at the scene. She stood there in a daze, looking at Chen Xi who was being surrounded by the reporters, she actually forgot to stop them.

"Director Meng, what are you doing? "Let's go." Secretary Wang urged.

Only then did Meng Qingxia remember that she wanted to go up and stop her.

When Secretary Wang and Meng Qingxia was about to squeeze into the crowd, she saw a flash of surprise and joy in Chen Yiran's eyes, but seeing that he was protecting the child in his arms so well, she didn't know why, but she suddenly felt a little sad.

But this was not the time for her to lament over her grief. She and Secretary Wang tried their best to stop these reporters from asking questions.

It was hard to explain, but the reporter was still insistent about Tony's background.

Just as Chen Yiran wanted to get angry, he was stopped by Meng Qingxia, who explained to the reporters with a smile.

As for your questions, I think this is Mr. Chen's privacy. Since this child is not designer Chen's illegitimate child, I don't think you all need to investigate further. Meng Qingxia explained with a smile.

In the end, it wasn't easy to send off those troublesome reporters, but before he could even catch his breath, Duan Wenyu casually walked over.

Director Meng, is this the designer that you hired from abroad? I didn't expect that on the first day of signing with the Tang Clan, she would be able to make a name for herself, not with her design, but with rumors, and even being an illegitimate child. What a dazzling sight. " Duan Wenyu looked back and forth between Chen Xi and Meng Qingxia with a mocking smile.

"Shut up, what's the matter?" Meng Qingxia said with a cold face.

"Right, it really has nothing to do with me. I'm just here to take a look and see if this designer Chen's scandal is real or not. Now that the show is over, I'm leaving." After Duan Wenyu finished speaking, just as she was about to turn around and leave, she was stopped by a cold shout from Chen Xi.

"Halt." Chen Xi walked in front of her in a neither humble nor haughty manner, and looked straight into her eyes.

Duan Wenyu was a little flustered by her gaze, and in her panic, she was also afraid. She immediately avoided her eyes, and asked with a steady voice.

"I wonder why designer Chen is calling me?"

"The reporters said you didn't call them?" Chen Xi asked without any emotion.

Duan Wenyu panicked.

"What are you talking about? What makes you think I'm the one who called you here? "

"Duan Wenyu, did you really call these reporters here?" Meng Qingxia asked coldly.

"Heh, what a joke. On what basis am I the one calling you that? Your ability to slander others is truly skillful." Duan Wenyu said with a cold smile.

"Is that so? From what I know, Miss Duan is the chief designer of the Tang clan's jewelry, but because of my arrival, your position seems to be unstable. Could it be that this isn't the reason you set me up? " Chen Xi said coldly.

Duan Wenyu looked at Chen Xi angrily.

"designer Chen, you slandered me. Why aren't you looking at this place? Do you dare to say that what those reporters said were all lies? Isn't he your illegitimate child? Or are you afraid of admitting to your own child because you had a child with this man and because you're afraid of affecting your career? " Duan Wenyu said with her mouth wide open.

But in the end, he received Chen Xi's slap, and the slap was loud and resounding.

Duan Wenyu couldn't help but become dumbstruck, and even the people present were dumbstruck. They didn't expect Chen Xi to hit them.

Duan Wenyu used her hand to cover her face, her eyes were filled with anger, she did not expect Chen Xi to actually make a move on her.

Maybe she was angry or embarrassed, she immediately raised her hand to give Chen Xi a slap, but was quickly stopped.

"Give it a try, is there no one else in the Tang clan? They actually let a dog come out and bite people everywhere. " Chen Yiran's words made Duan Wenyu even more embarrassed.

"You, you, you, good. Just you wait, I'll kick you out of the Tang clan one day." Duan Wenyu stomped her feet in hatred, turned around, and left.

The atmosphere became a little tense for a moment, and in the end, it was still Secretary Wang.

"Designer Chen, I'm sorry about this, Designer Duan is indeed a little insensible, look, you have already taught her a lesson, and hope that Master Chen does not remember this villain, this matter, let's forget about it."

Chen Xi did not answer. Instead, it was Chen Yiran who looked at her and said coldly.

"I don't have that kind of tolerance for Xi Xi. We signed a contract with your Tang clan on the first day and this kind of thing happened. How did those reporters know about this? Also, your own designers do not respect Xi Xi, so there is no need for us to cooperate with you. " Chen Yiran snorted.

Secretary Wang wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Meng Qingxia.

"Then, what does Assistant Chen want to do?" Meng Qingxia looked at him coldly.

"I …" When Chen Yiran saw Meng Qingxia's eyes, he instantly forgot what he wanted to say.

"Since Assistant Chen has not thought it through, then please think of a way before coming to find me." Meng Qingxia said as she looked at Chen Xi.

"I'm sorry, designer Chen. Since Tang Dynasty was involved in this matter, then I must take responsibility for it. Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation." Meng Qingxia said.

Chen Xi nodded.

"Brother Yiran, send me home." Chen Xi said softly, her tone carrying deep exhaustion.

When Meng Qingxia heard Chen Xi's name, Brother Yiran, she tried her best to suppress the bitterness in her heart, and said with a smile.

"If that's the case, then designer Chen, rest well. See you tonight, Secretary Wang, send them off."

When Chen Yiran turned around, she saw Tony, who was quietly lying on his shoulder the whole time.

She had to admit that he was a good-looking little boy. As she looked at him, she could not help but feel a sense of familiarity with his eyes.

Distinction, indifference, without any color, no matter how you looked at it, they looked like a person, but before she could see them clearly, they had already disappeared from her line of sight.

She sighed and thought it was ridiculous. She had always felt that during this signing ceremony, there would always be problems.

Now she knew where the uneasiness had come from.

Not only did the designer who signed the contract look the same as Duan Wenzhuo, they even met Chen Yiran along with a child whose identity was unknown.

All of this made it impossible for her to remain calm, but she was still unable to contact Tang Hongbo.
