Time was always the best medicine to treat one's injuries. As for Meng Qingxia, because the new year had arrived, Chen Xi's mood had slightly lightened.

"Hey, hey, Old Lin, I said your lantern is crooked." Aunt Zhang raised her head and commanded Uncle Lin who was standing on the ladder and hanging lanterns.

"No, no, the ladder is so high, what if the lady falls?" Aunt Zhang immediately shook her head and rejected her.

"It's okay, it's not that high." Chen Xi was still smiling as she picked up a red lantern.

"Madam, we can't do that. When you weren't here in the past, the New Year was always lifeless. This year, we finally have a new year." Aunt Zhang said with a smile, seemingly very happy because of the new year.

"Dead?" Chen Xi asked in confusion.

"Yes, last year, during the new year, there were only two of us and three young masters in the house, so young master didn't allow us to hang these things. This year, when Madame comes back, we can hang these things up." Uncle Lin hung lanterns as he said.

"That's right. It's only because of this red and fiery atmosphere that it looks like it's the new year." Aunt Zhang also laughed like a flower.

"Is that so? "Then how did you all celebrate New Year before this?" Chen Xi acted as if she did not care and asked as she started to unpack the lanterns.

"It's the same as usual. I'll cook a table of food, and young master won't be able to eat much. I'll be going to his room. It will definitely be different this year." Aunt Zhang said.

Chen Xi smiled and nodded.

"Grandpa Lin, I want to die too." Tony came running over to hang the lantern.

Just as Tony was playing around, Tang Hongbo coincidentally came back. Chen Xi knew that Tang Hongbo was going to the company to settle the last few matters.

"You're back?" Chen Xi said.

"Well, Tony, what are you doing?" Tang Hongbo bent over and picked him up with a light smile.

"Daddy, I want to hang this lantern." Tony pointed to the lantern in Chen Xi's hand and asked.

"Alright." Tang Hongbo laughed.

"Sigh, how can this be? It's so high." Chen Xi frowned.

Tang Hongbo laughed.

"It's fine, I'm holding him." Tang Hongbo patted Chen Xi's shoulder gently.

When Tang Hongbo hung the lanterns, it was already noon. Tony was following Uncle Lin in the garden to prune the flowers, while Chen Xi and Tang Hongbo sat in the glass room and chatted.

The atmosphere during the New Year was still as cold as ever due to the lack of family members, but Chen Xi still remembered what Tang Hongbo had told him before.

"Hongbo, do you want to return to your dwelling this year?" Chen Xi thought about it but still asked.

Tang Hongbo looked at her, and said with heartache.

"No need, I feel sorry for you, so you have to take it."

Chen Xi knew what he meant, but after all, it was New Year. If they did not return, Tang Yizhou would definitely have more complaints about him.

"Hongbo, I'm really fine. How about you bring Tony back?" Chen Xi said in a low voice.

Tang Hongbo's expression froze.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You're not allowed to say it like that in the future. Our family of three will be together no matter where we go."

Chen Xi's heart warmed. Today was New Year's Eve.

However, Chen Xi and the others didn't expect that when night fell, a person who they didn't expect would suddenly come.

Chen Xi pulled Tony along as she stared blankly at Tang Yizhou who had appeared in the living room. Tang Hongbo sat in front of her with an expression that did not show any joy or anger.

Chen Xi and Tony stood to the side. They could not figure out what was going on, but Tang Hongbo suddenly reached out and grabbed Chen Xi.

"What are you standing there for? Sit down. "

Chen Xi sat down awkwardly, then said softly.

"This, isn't good right?"

"What's wrong with that? This is your home, where are you sitting? Do you even need to look at the eyes of others?" Tang Hongbo purposely said this as he knew who it was meant for, so Chen Xi wished that she could find a hole to hide in.

As for Tang Yizhou, from the moment he entered the door, he had been staring at Tony the entire time. Tony was also staring at Tang Yizhou.

This was the first time Tang Yizhou had seen Tony. When he came back to his senses, he immediately said to Tony in a soft voice.

"Tony is grandpa, quickly call him grandpa."

Tony slightly frowned. Looking at Tang Yizhou's cold and indifferent expression, he looked at Tang Hongbo. Seeing him nod his head, he finally called him grandfather.

Tang Yizhou looked at his and Tang Hongbo's face which was eighty percent similar, and his expression relaxed slightly.

"What's your name?" Tang Yizhou asked.

"Tony." Tony knew what kind of atmosphere this was, so he replied obediently.

"Tang Xitong, the phoenix Perched Parasol Tree, the meaning of an auspicious omen." Tang Hongbo lightly added.

"Tang Xitong, not bad, it's a good name." Tang Yizhou said calmly.

"Alright, it's fine if this grandpa who is the grandson pays his respects. On the other hand, this grandpa pays his respects to his son, when did the rules become like this?" Tang Yizhou could not help but look at Tang Hongbo and Chen Xi as he spoke.

"You can't blame me for that. Didn't you tell us not to go back?" Didn't I listen to you? " Tang Hongbo said expressionlessly.

Tang Yizhou's expression changed, and said coldly after.

"I didn't say that you wouldn't come back, did I?" Tang Yizhou said as he looked at Chen Xi, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Chen Xi's face could not help but turn pale white.

"No matter who you're talking about, it's all the same to me." Tang Hongbo snorted.

Tang Yizhou's expression changed, and then he said.

"It's the new year, I don't want to say too much, it's just that I haven't settled the matter with you yet. You know that the marriage between the Wang family and Rong Family is set for the beginning of the second month after the new year, so what are your plans?"

Tang Hongbo said after a moment of silence.

"You don't need to know my plans."

"You … Alright, since you're not saying anything, I'll tell you what I plan to do …" Then, he couldn't help but look at Chen Xi.

Chen Xi suddenly understood the meaning behind her words, stood up and pulled Tony along as she whispered.

"I'll go and see if the food is ready."

"Sit down." Tang Hongbo suddenly said coldly.

"Hongbo..." Chen Xi said in a low voice, somewhat troubled.

"Sit." Tang Hongbo repeated himself, and said while looking at Tang Yizhou.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Tang Yizhou said with an unusually ugly expression.

"Alright, since you don't mind, then I'll just say it directly. The marriage between the Wang Family and Rong Family will certainly bring about a new situation in the business world, so, for the sake of Tang, Wang, and Rong, the three families will balance each other, so I have decided to link up with the Wang Family."

Tang Hongbo was astonished, but remained calm and asked.

"You want to marry Miss Wang?"

When those words came out, it was Tang Yizhou, and even Chen Xi could not help but laugh out loud, but seeing Tang Yizhou's cold eyes, she immediately covered up her laughter.

"What nonsense, why should I marry you?" What nonsense? Tang Yizhou was enraged, his face flushed red.

Tang Hongbo on the other hand had a calm expression, and then he asked.

"Marry who? Grab the hand of Young Master Rong? Forget about me having Xi Xi, even if I did not have Xi Xi, I would not do this, regardless of what your thoughts are, please dispel them, whether it is Miss Wang or Miss Li, I will not marry anyone. " Tang Hongbo rejected without hesitation.

Chen Xi also didn't expect that Tang Yizhou would ask Tang Hongbo to marry someone in front of her. She knew that Tang Yizhou had always looked down on her, but as matters stood, he still couldn't accept her.

"You won't marry? Then who are you going to marry? This woman? Last time, it was precisely because of this woman that you intentionally missed out on the Clan Assembly, allowing that old cunning fox Rong Zhentian to have the chance to mock and ridicule me. If you wanted to marry her and enter my Tang Clan's door, I would have told you this was absolutely impossible. " Tang Yizhou said in a stern voice.

Chen Xi felt that she had trained to the point of being like an iron wall, but now that he said it so plainly, her heart would still ache, and she subconsciously covered Tony's ears.

"Aunt Zhang, come over here and take Tony out for a play." Chen Xi shouted loudly. She could not let her own son see the darkness of the family at such a young age, she did not want him to know that his grandfather would not accept her as his mother.

However, Tony pulled Chen Xi's hand and stared at her.

"Old man, why don't you like my Mummy? She is the best woman in the world, and my mother is a bad person." Chen Xi didn't even have time to cover Tony's mouth when he blurted out these words without thinking.

Chen Xi immediately said apologetically.

"Uncle Tang, I'm sorry. The child is still young, so he's just spouting nonsense. Don't take it to heart." Then he deliberately scolded Tony with a straight face.

"Tony, what are you saying? Hurry up and apologize to grandpa."

Tony pouted, unwilling to give up.

"I'm not wrong, why should I apologize, he should just apologize to Mummy." Tony pointed to Tang Yizhou and said.

Tang Yizhou was so angry that his face turned red and green, green and purple, and he glared at Tang Hongbo.

"Alright, look and see. This is the good son you taught me, right? He really is like a mother with what kind of son he is. He learned how to talk back at such a young age. Indeed, similar things gather together."

Tang Hongbo's expression turned cold, and the temperature around him dropped by a few degrees.

"My son is right, you should apologize to Xi Xi." Tang Hongbo said word by word.

Chen Xi secretly pulled at Tang Hongbo's clothes, signalling for him to stop talking. But Tang Hongbo actually grabbed her hand and shook it tightly.

"Father, since you won't accept us, then there's no need for you to come here often in the future. If you're angry and don't say anything, then this son of mine …" Tang Hongbo intentionally said half of his words.
