56. Coercion
walked all the way into the apartment building, until he walked to the apartment hall, pressed the elevator down button, and while waiting for the elevator, Huang Chen kept holding Liu Xin's hand, pursing his lips, stiffly collapsing the angle of his jaw, and didn't say a word.
The elevator arrived, and after a "ding" sound, the elevator door slid open to the left and right, no one came out, and Huang Chen led Liu Xin directly into it.
Standing in the elevator and seeing the figures of the two reflected in the smooth elevator wall, Liu Xin tried to call him, "Huang Chen." β
"Hmm."
Liu Xin tilted his head to look at him, "What are you thinking?" Or what are you worried about? β
Just standing beside Huang Chen, you can feel the uneasy aura exuded from his body, and then think of the appearance of the girl just now, obviously this matter is not as simple as it seems, at least the appearance of that girl is not very reasonable, and her impulsive and angry feelings, she jumped up as soon as she saw herself, if she just liked Huang Chen, she could act so impulsively, it didn't make any sense at all. So Liu Xin guessed that there was something strange in this matter.
The elevator arrived soon, Huang Chen didn't speak, only took Liu Xin's hand and walked out of the elevator, walked to the door of the room, pressed the door code, opened the door and led Liu Xin in.
Being so silent and not speaking made Liu Xin nervous, "Huang Chen, is it a difficult thing to do?" β
Huang Chen put down the bag he was carrying, turned to look at Liu Xin, and smiled, "Don't worry, it's no big problem, I can handle it." β
"Really?" Liu Xin is still not at ease, obviously he was so strict before, and he always felt that he would not be able to solve it because of his words.
"Ah!" Huang Chen raised his head and rubbed her hair, and said lightly: "Don't worry, with me, there won't be any problems." You just need to take care of your baby with peace of mind. β
Although Liu Xin was still full of doubts in her heart, Huang Chen refused to say, and she couldn't continue to ask, nodding, "Okay." β
In the evening, Huang Chen watched a movie with Liu Xin, and cooked her a supper, until she fell asleep peacefully, Huang Chen went back to his house opposite.
Lying on the bed, Huang Chen couldn't fall asleep over and over, he remembered Xie Yun's appearance, this incident was not accidental.
In the past few days, Huang Chen has found someone to check, and the information returned from the investigation shows that on the one hand, his sister Pearl likes Xie Yun, and there is a intention to prompt Xie Yun to come to him to pursue himself; On the other hand, Xie Yun's father's company had a problem, and Xie's father urgently needed to find someone to inject capital to alleviate the difficulties, and he also forced Xie Yun to come to him, hoping that Xie Yun could be with him and get the support of the Huang family.
However, after investigation, Huang Chen found that there was another force promoting this matter, and as for who it was, it was not found out, but Huang Chen vaguely felt that it was likely to be someone.
Once it was determined that it was that person who was doing the trouble, Huang Chen felt that his desire to continue to accompany Liu Xin would be difficult.
Although he had been mentally prepared in advance, when Huang Chen saw his sister Pearl sitting in his living room the next morning, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
With a pair of frameless eyes on her eyes, a white shirt on her upper body, a pair of dark trousers on her lower body, and a pair of black high heels of more than ten centimeters on her feet, Pearl has a shrewd and capable atmosphere all over her body. She sat on the sofa, her hands around her chest, her two slender legs stacked together, and she looked at Huang Chen opposite for a long time, the queen's aura was full of domineering.
"Why, I'm not welcome?"
Obviously, he was the one who was standing, and Pearl was the one who was sitting, but when facing the Queen's full aura of Pearl, he still couldn't stand her strong coercion, and he couldn't help but feel a little weak.
"Nope." Huang Chen said two words briefly and without saying more, he pulled over the chair next to him and sat down, raised his hand to hold the water cup on the table and poured water to drink, so as to hide his feelings, so as not to be too exposed to Pearl and eaten to death by her.
Pearl didn't think much of Huang Chen's coldness, anyway, in her eyes, his younger brother, who was not a weapon, looked like he was dead since he was a child, hating iron and not steel, hating iron and not steel, if she could, she really wanted to arrest him and beat him, it was best to wake him up, and if he couldn't wake up, he could also dissipate his anger.
Too lazy to go around the bend with Huang Chen, Pearl said bluntly: "Where is Liu Xin?" β
"What are you looking for her for?" Huang Chen stiffened his neck and said, "Sister, this matter has nothing to do with her, don't involve innocent people." β
"The children are all there, where is the innocent?" Pearl sneered and asked rhetorically.
"Sister, can you please stop meddling?" Huang Chen has been oppressed by Queen Pearl since he was a child, and he is really fed up with her strength, "I hate that you have interfered in my affairs since I was a child. β
Pearl was stunned, she didn't expect that she had always cared about Huang Chen, in his eyes, it was actually her interference in his affairs, and it made him very annoying.
This fact made Pearl very sad, she still clearly remembered that Huang Chen was born prematurely, and he was born less than five pounds, so he was directly sent to the ICU by the doctor, and he was not allowed to be discharged until a month later. Looking at her little brother, Pearl felt a little pity in her heart. It was from that time that she felt that her sister had the responsibility to protect him and take care of him, at least not let him suffer. Her parents are busy with business and are away from home all year round, Pearl is five years older than Huang Chen, so she naturally becomes the relative who spends the most time with Huang Chen. In this way, she has always played a very important role in Huang Chen's growth.
Now, Huang Chen has his own ideas and begins to hate her sister.
Pearl felt her heart go cold, and she really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Pearl pointed at Huang Chen, her well-trimmed nails almost poked Huang Chen's nose, and said angrily, "You think I'm willing to take care of you?" β
ββ¦β¦β
"Since I was a child, my parents were busy with business and were often away from home, I didn't care if you took care of you, who cares about you? Is it wrong that I worked hard to take care of you growing up and help you shelter from the wind and rain, and I will help you bear it if you have something? If you say that I did something wrong, I will leave immediately, and I will never say anything! β
"Sister......" Huang Chen also realized that the words he had just burst out of his mouth were a little hurtful, which made Pearl angry, and he wanted to say something sorry, but when he thought of the purpose of Pearl's trip, he swallowed the words alive.
Seeing Huang Chen's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Pearl's anger didn't come to a place, she really knew Huang Chen's temperament too well.
"Do you even know what you're doing?" Pearl glared at Huang Chen, "Liu Xin is a cold woman, you haven't been cleaned up by him last time?" Not to mention that she is still pregnant with Leng Lie's child, even if she really breaks up with Leng Lie, with Leng Lie's character, can he watch her marry someone else? Let another man be the father of his child? β
ββ¦β¦β
"In fact, you know in your own heart, where can this matter be so easy? It's you yourself who are carried away by love, you only see what is in front of you, and it's good to think that Liu Xin is by your side. I never thought that if Leng Lie knew the truth, would he let you go! Pearl ruthlessly punctured Huang Chen's beautiful illusions.
Huang Chen felt sad for a while, clenched his fists with both hands, and said with a calm face: "He has already broken up with Liu Xin, and he doesn't know that the child in Liu Xin's belly is his, as long as he does well, he will never know!" β
"You're too naΓ―ve." Pearl sneered, "As long as he has the heart to investigate, there is no impermeable wall in this world!" β
"Sister......" Huang Chen was still unwilling, "You can't help me?" Can you help me with this for once? β
Pearl asked calmly, "What do you think is the chance of our Huang clan and Leng clan winning in the head-to-head confrontation?" β
ββ¦β¦ I do not know. Huang Chen thought for a while and said, but he also knew that the result was not ideal.
"Less than thirty percent." Pearl pronounced the death sentence in a single sentence.
"So, that's why I had to ask you to leave City C last time." Pearl analyzed rationally: "It's not a good choice to find someone like Leng Lie as an opponent. β
At this point, there is no room for turnaround, although he is extremely reluctant to admit that Leng Lie is stronger, but this is the case, Huang Chen understands that he has no more choices at all. It was he who kept telling himself that as long as Liu Xin didn't say leave, he would always be able to stay by Liu Xin's side, and he dreamed that one day he would be able to see the moon and let Liu Xin promise to marry him. However, this is all because he thinks too well and ignores some facts.
Huang Chen sat on the chair with a depressed face, lowered his head, and didn't say a word.
Pearl put her hand on his shoulder and comforted, "I know you're sad, just like when my parents didn't want me to be with Wen Hao, I felt like the sky was about to fall. But you see, didn't I make it through the same way? I'm still alive and well. Therefore, in this world, it is not that no one can live without anyone, you have to look forward. β
ββ¦β¦ I know, sister. Huang Chen was silent for a moment before speaking.
Pearl was also a little unbearable, but there were still some things that had to be said, "Now that your parents don't know about this matter, you'd better think of a solution as soon as possible." β
Huang Chen's brows furrowed deeply, "Liu Xin is pregnant now, I can't stand by and watch, so am I still a person?" β
Pearl had already thought of a solution to this problem, "If you feel embarrassed, I'll be this villain, I'll find an opportunity to tell the news and let him pick up Liu Xin home." β
"No, you can't do that!" Huang Chen immediately denied Pearl's decision, "Liu Xin didn't let Leng Lie know about being pregnant for so long, just because she didn't want to sue him, this is someone's private matter, we can't make this decision for others!" β
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what do you say?" Pearl's patience was running out.
Huang Chen rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, "Give me a few days, let me find a chance to talk to her." β
Pearl pondered for a moment, thinking that this was fine, and nodded in agreement.
As soon as the two people in the living room finished speaking, the bell rang outside the door.
Huang Chen walked over and opened the door, and saw Liu Xin standing at the door.
Liu Xin smiled and said to him: "I waited for almost an hour and didn't see you come and call me for breakfast, so I came to see you." β
After speaking, she saw Pearl sitting in the living room through behind Huang Chen, and greeted Pearl with a smile, "Sister Pearl, long time no see!" β
At this time, Pearl had already put away the harshness she had just given Huang Chen, put on a friendly big sister, stood up and greeted, "It's Xinxin, come in and sit." β
Huang Chen, who was standing at the door, originally planned to ask Liu Xin to go back, and he would go over to explain to her later, but now that Pearl had seen Liu Xin and beckoned her in, he had no choice but to turn aside and let Liu Xin enter the door.
When Liu Xin walked in, Pearl saw her upright belly, and hurriedly went over to help her sit on the sofa on the side, with a concerned expression on her face, "How many months has the child been?" β
"More than five months."
"Then you have to pay attention to your body, and if you need help with something, just ask, don't be embarrassed." Pearl is warm and authentic.
Liu Xin smiled embarrassedly, "Thank you, in fact, I've troubled Huang Chen a lot." β
"He's supposed to be troublesome, who calls the skin rough and the meat thick, it's okay to toss it." Pearl smiled, not the slightest self-conscious of degrading her brother like this, as if neither the sharp nor the strict just now existed.
"Sister, can you save me some face." Huang Chen wailed with infinite resentment and infinite grief beside him.
The two sisters and brothers played treasure, which made Liu Xin laugh happily.
The atmosphere was harmonious in the morning, and the three of them had breakfast around the table like a warm family, and then Pearl left in advance.
After sending Sister Pearl away, Huang Chen came to collect the dishes on the table and went to the kitchen to wash, Liu Xin followed him over, leaned against the kitchen door, watched Huang Chen turn on the water from the faucet, held a handkerchief in one hand, and a plate in the other, scrubbing the dishes carefully until the plates were clean.
Liu Xin leaned against the wall at the door of the kitchen and asked, "Huang Chen, Sister Pearl came to you, did you say anything?" β
