Chapter 190 (2/2)

Deng Yifei shouted at Zhao Yuan, “Zhao Yuan, my daughter was beaten. How can you just stand by and watch?”

Chen Yuanxi’s heart trembled. “Zhao Yuan, I should be blamed to beat my sister, but you heard what she said just now. You’d better discipline your woman when you’re back!” With that, he left, angrily.

Chen Wanxin looked at Zhao Yuan. She knew it was useless to ask him for help. She had already been grateful that Zhao Yuan had performed well at the wedding, without embarrassing her in front of her family and friends. Besides, he had agreed to get the marriage certificate with her. She knew that Zhao Yuan subconsciously helped Chen Yuanxi when they had been talking just now, but she did not care. After Chen Yuanxi’s departure several years ago, Zhao Yuan almost died. She did not believe that they would restart a relationship in such a short time. She needed to find a way. There were many problems that needed to be solved.

Obviously, Zhao Yuan could not continue to live in the Chens’ wedding room, so he left alone and took up residence in a hotel in the small city.

After Zhao Yuan had left, Chen Tianjiao asked Chen Yuanxi to come back to attend the family meeting.

Chen Yuanxi had just walked far away in anger, but after receiving his father’s call, he immediately showed up. Chen Wanxin was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She really wanted to rush to him and tear down his smiling face. However, Chen Yuanxi only called her ‘sister’ with a smile, looking so close to her. Chen Wanxin was even angrier, feeling like her lungs explode.

Chen Tianjiao got the news from his elder brother that after coming out from their mansion, Chen Yuanxi had vented his anger on Zhang Dong again, who had been avoiding Zhao Yuan, by asking him to clean the rust on the gate. Chen Tianjiao immediately asked Zhang Dong to meet him, and then asked Zhang Dong to go back first. Chen Tianjiao knew that Chen Yuanxi might still be mad at Zhang Dong, but he did not know that after six years, his son, who had been calm and decent, still could not forgive Zhang Dong because of that incident. He had once wanted to ask Mo Qian to explain to Chen Yuanxi on behalf of him, but Mo Qian told him that if he compromised once, he would have to comprise more times in the future. However, apart from Zhang Dong, nobody else could protect his son well.

“Even your younger brother knows what it means not to get the marriage certificate for the moment. Zhao Yuan is a reasonable person as well. But why are you still insisting on this? You’re so eager to marry him, even ignoring our family’s interests!” Chen Tianjiao was furious.

“In the beginning, I didn’t think that much. Considering that A Yuan was nice to me these years, I just wanted to run our companies well with him. After all, if we join hands, the two companies would be stronger than being run separately. A Yuan’s company will soon be able to raise capital, and he has been preparing for the company to go public. Although it was delayed a little, I have confidence in my husband. A Yuan is already 27, and he is YH Company’s general manager. He is capable enough to handle this. Don’t you think so, Yuanxi?” Chen Wanxin asked.

Chen Tianjiao’s face softened a lot.

“Zhao Yuan is a sensible and capable person. He must be considering about the company’s interests, so he decided to postpone the marriage certificate application. He has been reasonable, so he must have his reason for doing so. Sister, if you agree that Zhao Yuan is man of reason, you should take his suggestion into consideration, instead of registering your marriage in a hurry. Am I right? Do you think Zhao Yuan’s concerns are absurd? You have been with him so many years, but I’m only his former roommate. Don’t you know him better than I do?” Chen Yuanxi smiled slightly.

“‘As man and wife we ever unite, we never doubt our love.’ Of course I will support A Yuan. I won’t care even if his company fails to go to public, and I would like to share the consequences with him. I trust him because he deserves my trust. That’s why I want to get our marriage certificate earlier. It’s a guarantee for both of us. As an outsider, you can’t understand my feelings for my husband. Dad, mom, I’m sure you will understand how I feel now. After all, you have married for years,” Chen Wanxin said.

Chen Yuanxi was shocked.

His heart almost stopped beating. He wrote these words on the note he had left to Zhao Yuan. Obviously, Zhao Yuan had kept the note. But when did Chen Wanxin find it?

“Outsider?”

Chen Yuanxi sneered secretly, but he still looked peaceful and gentle. “The marriage between you and Zhao Yuan is not only an affair about you two, but also about the two families. Since I’m a member of the Chens, I can’t be taken as an outsider, and dad and auntie are not outsiders either. Zhao Yuan didn’t protest when dad decided to postpone your marriage registration. Even he can wait, why are you in such a hurry? Is our whole family not as important as Zhao Yuan, an outsider? I don’t understand why you call me ‘outsider’. Sister, you should think it over.”

“Chen Yuanxi, you’re still loving Zhao Yuan! Then why did you leave him without hesitation years ago? What were you worried about? You must have been hiding something!”

Chen Wanxin thought. But she did not know what she could do.

“Dad, mom, I admit I’m too selfish, but I did it because I love A Yuan so much! Mom, you have been treated dad in the same way, haven’t you?” Chen Wanxin’s eyes became reddish.

Hearing that, Deng Yifei was heartbroken. She looked at Chen Tianjiao with tears in her eyes. Chen Tianjiao’s expression softened. He gently patted Chen Wanxin on the back and said with a nod, “Let’s wait for some time. If there’s nothing wrong with Zhao Yuan during this period, you can apply for the certificate with him, okay?”

“Dad, I have returned to the Chens for more than six years. Although my adopted father and you had different political views before, he had raised me for nineteen years. I don’t know whether Uncle Hong Xuan is still alive. My mother has gone for years with my adopted father’s ashes with her, and I don’t know her whereabouts. Now I don’t have any family members except the Chens. Everything I’m thinking about is out of consideration for our family.” With that, Chen Yuanxi’s eyes turned red as well.

Chen Tianjiao grabbed him by the hand, but did not know what to say.

“What your brother said makes sense. After all, anything about love is only personal affairs. We know how you love Zhao Yuan, but for our family’s sake, you should be more patient,” Chen Tianjiao said sincerely and earnestly.

Gritting her teeth slightly, Chen Wanxin nodded with a smile, but tears suddenly dreamed down her cheeks. Chen Yuanxi tried for a while, but could not squeeze a drop of tear. He then looked at Chen Tianjiao calmly and said, “Help me to find my mother.” With that, tears welled up. Even Deng Yifei was moved.

Since everything had been decided, Chen Yuanxi held back his impulse to refuse to tear down Jifu University. Glancing at Chen Wanxin, he walked back to his room.

After a short moment, he heard someone knocking at the door. He opened the door and saw Chen Wanxin. “What shall I do to make Zhao Yuan marry me?” she asked coldly.

“This is between the two of you. Why are you asking me?” Chen Yuanxi said, as cold as ice. Chen Wanxin found that he had not turned on the light, and his room was dark.

“You know what I’m talking about!”

“Don’t try to get what you can’t.”

“I will find a way!” Chen Wanxin said with a smile, taking a deep breath.

“Go ahead, sister! No matter what you will do, I can deal with it.”

With that, he closed the door.

“You’re just like a nightingale, but I will never believe what a nightingale is singing!” Chen Wanxin thought.

It was said that Chen Yuanxi had never turned on the light in his bedroom, even in the US, and he had only worked in his living room.
