Chapter 20: Persuasion
A short call exhausted Chen Xiao's complicated mood at this time.
Signaling the waiter not to call or disturb, and then closed the door, and then, Luo Han sighed secretly, and tried to comfort him as calmly as possible: "Don't worry, if there is anything, let's sit down and discuss it carefully." ”
Luo Han's unhurried did bring great comfort to Chen Xiao. His distracted pupils slowly became more sensible, but his worries were still unabated, his face was still sad, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Actually, I also know that at this time, I should try to be as calm as possible and try to control my emotions, but I have worked hard, but I will still be nervous and hesitant......"
"I know!" Luo Han nodded understandingly: "It is said that it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift." You have been rich and prosperous for nearly 9 years, and if you are allowed to return to your previous embarrassment, you will most likely be rejected and afraid of ......! ”
"No......" Chen Xiao shook his head anxiously and interrupted him: "I'm not afraid of hardship, I'm just ......".
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Xiao's eyes dimmed again: "I'm just worried that Aunt Fen has a child this time, and she has the confidence to speak in front of my dad, and for the sake of the child's face, it is very likely that my dad will not be as good to me as before." Really speaking, in the entire Chen family, the only one I care about the most is my father. When you didn't come just now, I also thought about it carefully, and the worst result is nothing more than losing this qualification. Wuliu Environmental Protection Group is only influential in Shenhai City, but it is nothing outside. I have hands and feet, education, a year of work experience, and I have saved a lot of pocket money over the years, but I don't have more, more than 2 million can still be taken out, I can go to other places to buy an apartment, and then find a job to support myself, and it is definitely not a problem to solve the problem of food and clothing. ”
"It's just," he slowly sat back in his chair, looked at the mahjong table in front of him in a daze, and analyzed the true feelings in his heart to the best friend little by little, and his distracted eyes slowly lost focus: "Grandma Dean once told me that it was my mother's wish to return to my father's side and be recognized by my father before she died, and I didn't want to quit so easily!" ”
"You know, I've always felt sorry for Aunt Fen before. A woman who cannot be a mother is, in a sense, an incomplete woman. But now, she's pregnant, and my feelings have suddenly changed. I couldn't believe that she could tolerate my presence as silently as before, that I could no longer face her with the same light-hearted and fearless attitude as before, and that I was less hostile to the fetus in her womb. Am I too sensitive, too selfish, you say? ”
Luo Han understood the contradiction in Chen Xiao's heart very well. As a child who grew up in an orphanage, although Chen Xiao's surname also has many common problems, such as being hesitant to do things, not confident, and being a little confused and afraid of unforeseen life, he has always been a person who respects and cherishes life. It is precisely because of this that Luo Han, who came to the orphanage a year earlier, stood up and tried his best to protect Chen Xiao when others bullied him, and finally became a trusted friend with Chen Xiao.
Luo Han shook his head and said reassuringly: "This is not selfishness, this is a subconscious self-preservation. As a mother, not your biological mother, Aunt Fen naturally wants to fight for the best interests of her children, this is her instinct. So, the two of you are bound to have a conflict. I'm sure she has two thoughts on her mind right now: first, protect the fetus in her womb well, give birth to it safely, and then raise Chengren; The second is to take back your inheritance after you are sure that the fetus is a boy! It's not her fault, it's not your fault, if you really want to get to the bottom of it, you have to blame your grandfather! ”
To be honest, after hearing the dean's grandmother talk about the love history of Chen Xiao's biological mother and Chen Lizhu, Luo Han has always had a lot of opinions about the vain and stubborn old man Chen. A good couple, just like that, they were broken up!
"Alas!" Chen Xiao frowned in distress, and thought deeply: "That's it!" Everything was done by the old man. If he had agreed to my mother marrying in, there would have been nothing to do now! The biggest key now is also the old man. If he is not there, I am still a little confident in fighting for this inheritance, after all, I am already so old and have a certain ability, and Aunt Fen's child has just been conceived. But the old man is very healthy now, and there will be no problem in living another twenty years, I," a trace of bitterness appeared at the corner of his mouth: "I'm really not sure that I can fight Aunt Fen." She has a brother and the whole family as helpers, but I am the only you! ”
Chen Xiao lacked confidence so much, and Luo Han couldn't help but feel concerned. I think that at the beginning, I also lacked self-confidence, but fortunately, my talent in learning quickly helped me rebuild this confidence, and the experience of successfully passing the accounting certificate for the first time has completely stabilized this confidence cultivated bit by bit.
It's just that Chen Xiao can't be allowed to continue to be depressed at the moment. Now that Chen Xiao has come to this day, and he is Chen Lizhu's biological flesh and blood, and he officially appeared in public with this identity 8 years ago, there is really no need for it now, just because of Wen Zhengfen's unexpected pregnancy, he gave up and gave up the rights and interests that he should have.
In other words, if Chen Xiao was just an adopted son, Luo Han would persuade Chen Xiao to give up. People sometimes have to be self-aware and grateful.
Thinking about his new ability, Luo Han had confidence in his heart again, shook his head, tried his best to put aside this sudden weakness, and looked at Chen Xiao with a straight face: "No, it's too early to say this." The fetus will not be able to identify its last name until four months later, and now only a month has passed, and we still have three months to buffer. Moreover, if Aunt Fen is pregnant with a girl, then it will be at least a year before she gets pregnant again, and at that time, if your old man dies and your father is really in power, you will have more chances. Although the old man of your family attaches importance to his concubine, he also attaches importance to bloodline, even if Aunt Fen gives birth to a son, he may not support you as the heir, but after all, you are also your father's biological flesh and blood, and he has officially recognized his own grandson, who has been getting along for nearly 9 years, he can't have no feelings for you, and he won't let Aunt Fen beat you to death. ”
Seeing that Chen Xiao's face slowly regained some blood color because of this analysis, and his eyes were also brighter, Luo Han said again: "I assume that Aunt Fen gave birth to a son, but it will take at least nearly twenty years to grow up. Your father is almost 50 years old now, in the past 20 years, it is impossible to be on the front line forever, and there is always someone to help, although Aunt Fen has an older brother and a younger brother, but the old man will never give up on you, but let two people with foreign surnames come in the Chen family to point fingers. ”
This is true, Chen Xiao is an illegitimate child, not a righteous son or adopted son, and he still inherits the bloodline of the Chen family in his body. Maybe he is not as "orthodox" as Wen Zhengfen's children, but he is definitely more reliable than the Wen family.
Chen Xiao is not stupid, the previous panic was also in Lushan Mountain, but now listening to Luo Han's careful analysis, his mood quickly stabilized, and he seemed to have an understanding: "Then according to you, I am now just taking two paths, first, try my best to keep my inheritance; Second, take a step back, occupy an important position in the environmental protection group, and hold a territory? ”
"That's it!" Luo Han said leisurely: "Your grandfather is your father's son, and your father is currently your son." The environmental protection group is so big and can accommodate so many people with foreign surnames to occupy high positions, can't it accommodate you as a real child surnamed Chen? ”
Chen Xiao was relieved at first and quite moved, but immediately, he frowned again: "However, if Aunt Fen really gives birth to a son and obtains the inheritance with the support of the old man, she will have a lot of opportunities to make things difficult for me in every way." My mom has already lost to her, and I don't want to be angry with her anymore, it feels like a wretch. ”
Before, Wen Zhengfen knew that she was infertile, her confidence was insufficient, and she was pressed by the old man, since Chen Xiao was recognized by Chen Lizhu, she didn't dare to make any face to Chen Xiao, and he couldn't talk about being angry with her.
But this is how man is, when he first comes to a catastrophe, his spirit is completely lost, as if the sky is about to fall. And once you know that you will not fall into a desperate situation and have no worries about food and clothing, your mind changes, and you hope that the situation can be a little better, retain a little dignity, or strive for more welfare.
Moreover, there is still a thorn in Chen Xiao's heart - why can the Chen family raise him high when they need an heir, and raise him with good food and clothing, and now that they have another choice, they can turn their faces and deny people?
It's a kitten and a puppy, and it's reluctant to lose it when it's mature, let alone its own flesh and blood?
"Alas!" Luo Han can also understand his feelings, but he really hates iron and steel: "Xiaoxiao, why can't your head turn around?" I mean, you can definitely occupy an important position in the environmental group, but that doesn't mean you have to put all your mind to it! Don't you think this is also an opportunity? ”
"Opportunity?" Chen Xiao looked at him suspiciously: "What chance?" ”
