CHAPTER XXXIV. 1

Every girl has a forest of fireflies in her heart, and there is a teenager living there

1

It was already one o'clock in the morning when Chen Xi got home, he didn't move much, and he didn't make any noise, just stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and smoked silently. Despite this, Meng Qi still heard it, and she said, "You're back?" โ€

"Oh, you haven't slept yet." Chen Xi said, just glanced back at her.

"I'm waiting for you." Shi Mengqi didn't want to hide it.

"Wait for me?" Chen Xi asked rhetorically, casually snuffing out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, "What's the matter, I still want you to wait for me, wouldn't it be good to make a phone call." โ€

"I don't think I can tell you on the phone."

"What could you say you couldn't tell on the phone?"

"Can you talk to me well?"

"Why can't I talk well?"

"If you could show me a thousandth of my attitude towards her, I'm sure I'd do better than her."

Chen Xi didn't look at her, lowered his head and fiddled with the lighter, turned it on, turned it off, turned it on and off, "What you want to tell me, is this?" โ€

When Meng Qi saw the way Chen Xi treated him, he suddenly felt a little angry, so he said provocatively, "Chen Xi, I think you have been avoiding me all along." โ€

"Hiding from you? Why am I hiding from you? Chen Xi sneered, leaned back on the sofa, threw the lighter on the coffee table with a "snap", closed his eyes, and pressed his temples.

"Since we got married, I can count the number of times you've come back to this house on my fingers, and even if you do, it's either when I'm not at home, or when I'm asleep." Shi Mengqi had a fire in her heart, she felt that she was not afraid of that woman at all.

"What are you talking about?" Chen Xi glanced at her again.

"You're afraid." Shi Mengqi still said to herself.

"I'm afraid? What am I afraid of? Another sneer.

"You're afraid you're going to fall in love with me, because when you see me, you can't help it." Shi Mengqi also reciprocated with a sneer.

Chen Xi lowered his head and waved his hand, then stood up and scratched his head, "I'm not afraid that I can't control it, I'm afraid that you can't control it." โ€

Shi Mengqi was obviously angered by Chen Xi's words, she screamed, picked up the cushions on the sofa and threw them at him.

"I'm pregnant!" At this point, Shi Mengqi felt that he had nothing to talk about with him, so he simply had a showdown.

Chen Xi's hand pouring water did not stop, but still calmly poured the water, and then drank it, "I haven't touched you, and you can't rely on me." โ€

"I broke up with him." When Meng Qi turned around, her eyes were bloodshot when she looked at Chen Xi.

"So what."

"He doesn't want this child, I want to give birth to this child."

Chen Xi finally faced up to the conversation with Shi Meng Qi one night, "You want me to carry this black cauldron." โ€

"Otherwise, you are my legal husband in law, I am pregnant, and the child is not yours, so who else will it be."

"I'll ask Liu Xin to find a lawyer to draft a divorce agreement tomorrow, whatever you do with your father, whether it's divestment or breaking the contract, I'll bear it alone." Chen Xi strode towards his bedroom.

"You take it all by yourself?!" Shi Mengqi sneered, "If you can really bear this consequence, why are you still marrying me!" Haven't you been flying with that woman for a long time?! โ€

Chen Xi, who was poked by someone's words, felt a little weak in his heart, he lowered his head, looked at the water at the bottom of the cup, did not speak, and then left the kitchen and walked towards the bedroom.

"You stop! I'll let you stop! Shi Mengqi's face turned white, she shouted, and then sat down on the sofa.

Chen Xi glanced back at the woman who was close to collapse, but still didn't speak.

"I don't know where I offended you to make you hate me so much. I know it wasn't your intention to marry me, but I didn't have to marry you in the first place! But since you and I were born in such a family, we should pay for such a 'good life'! Let you marry me is your retribution! But let me marry someone like you is also my retribution! I shouldn't have fallen in love with you! โ€

Chen Xi was stunned.

Shi Mengqi wiped away her tears, and then said, "I know that love is not the same as marriage, so I didn't look at all the men who were serious about me before, and then I met you, I know you have a girlfriend, but so what, you still have to marry me in the end!" But I didn't know that your heart was so ruthless that you didn't leave me any room at all. I exchanged my seriousness for your cold eyes in vain! โ€

Chen Xi stood in place, his head down, one hand in the trouser pocket of his suit, but he did not speak.

"This time I'm playing with fire, I have nothing to say! The more he doesn't want this child, the more I want to give birth to him! Someday, I want you all to regret it! When Shi Mengqi said this, she stared at the man who was unwilling to face her until now, because of him, she lost the right to have love.

"What do you want me to do?" After a while, Chen Xi finally spoke.

"I'd like to make a deal with you." Shi Mengqi said coldly.

Chen Xi frowned and looked at her.

"I know what you want, and I know what you're afraid of. But if you want to, you have to give up, and I want you not to see that woman again until my child is born! After the child is born, I will divorce you by agreement, as for why the divorce, I will go to tell my parents, you don't need to worry about this. Of course, what you are most concerned about is whether my father will withdraw after the divorce. Shi Mengqi said that he deliberately observed Chen Xi's reaction here, but saw that he had not changed anything, "I will persuade my father that after I divorce you, I will not withdraw my investment, but as for whether there will be any cooperation in the future, this is not within my ability." โ€

"What do you want me to do?" Chen Xi asked naturally.

"You are really a businessman, and you know that there is no such thing as a free lunch!" Shi Mengqi sneered, and then said, "I only need you to do two things for me during this time, first, don't tell anyone about this child's life experience, this matter should be rotten in your stomach!" Also, after the child is born, since your parents do not know who the real father of the child is, they may have to fight for custody of the child, I will absolutely, never give the child to you! โ€

"Don't worry, I don't have any thoughts about this child, I'll talk about it from my parents, and besides, I don't want this to happen."

Hearing Chen Xi's answer, Shi Mengqi's heart was a little disappointed, she didn't understand why at this time, she still had some nostalgia for this man, relieved, she continued, "Second, I want you to help me fight for the equity I deserve!" โ€

"Equity? That's your family affair, and I think you're really embarrassed about it. โ€

"I don't care! If you can't do it, I will never divorce you from this marriage! โ€

Chen Xi sighed, picked up the cigarette case from the dining table, just took out one, suddenly thought of something, stuffed it back, put the cigarette case back on the dining table, and sat down, "What do you want me to do?" โ€

"I hope? I don't care what method you use, I will get 10% of the shares from my father for me!" โ€

"Ten percent?" Chen Xi asked rhetorically.

"Yes, I don't want more, I only want this ten percent!"

"Wait," Chen Xi motioned for Meng Qi not to speak, "Your father's company is basically taken care of by your brother now, except for seeing you ask him for money, I really don't know what other aspects of your brother and sister's family affection will be reflected." โ€

"He's not my brother!" Shi Mengqi replied, she leaned back on the sofa, her arms wrapped around her chest, "I have heard a lot about my family with them!" When my mom married his dad, she already had him and two other daughters, and I was just the same father as them, and they didn't recognize me at all! It's just to give me face in front of the elders and occasionally give some pocket money, but they are afraid that I will go back to my mother and fight with them for equity! So the more they are afraid of something, the more I do it! โ€

Chen Xi scratched his face, crossed Erlang's legs, and did not speak.

"I know, in your opinion, I am hopeless for a long time, but no matter what, I have to give me and my mother, and the child in my belly, a stable future!"

"You've studied abroad and worked in your father's company, why don't you want to rely on your own ยทยทยทยทยทยท"

"Is it useful on my own! If I lose the protection of my father's entire family in my identity relationship, I will be a fart when I go out! No one will bother with me! โ€

Regarding Shi Mengqi's response, Chen Xi had nothing to say.

"I want money, a steady stream of money, and only equity can give me a sense of security! 100,000 today, 200,000 tomorrow! But they're all the ones who ask for food! I've got to get my part back! I don't want much, just 10 percent, and my two sisters are 10 percent of the shares, and I've already inquired about them! I only want 10 percent, I want 10 percent, I just want to be like them, more, I won't want a cent! โ€

"I'm tired today, I'll go back and rest first!" Chen Xi rubbed his eyes, got up and prepared to go back to the room.

"Chen Xi, can you, can you treat me like you did to her before the child is born?" Shi Mengqi got up and said abruptly to Chen Xi.

Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, then turned back to her for a while and said, "You are you, she is her, nothing is the same." But don't worry, I will be attentive to you, tomorrow I will ask Liu Xin to bring a lawyer over, about what you said today, I think it is better to have something in writing, so as not to have any disagreements between the two sides in the future. โ€

Shi Mengqi watched Chen Xiyun finish these words lightly, and then went back to his own bedroom, she knew that the only relationship between her and him would disappear with a paper agreement in ten months, and from then on each other would be the past.

She sat down, and finally cried.

Chen Xi returned to the room and called Liu Xin, "Sorry to bother you so late." What you asked you to check before, how did you check it? โ€

"Miss Song signed up for a tour organized by the company this weekend."

"Where is that?"

"Pingyao, Shanxi."

"Change the itinerary, just say that the project to be discussed next Wednesday will be discussed on the weekend, and if you don't go to that resort, go to Pingyao instead, and let them prepare."

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

"Also, ask Lawyer Bai to come to my house tomorrow night, I have some private matters."

"Got it, Mr. Chen."

"Ah, and," Chen Xi glanced at the medicine bottle at hand and said, "Help me bring a few bottles of medicine when you come over tomorrow, I'm almost done with it at home." โ€

โ€œยทยทยทยทยทยท Okay, Mr. Chen. Liu Xin paused, "Mr. Chen, do you need to make an appointment with Professor Wang?" โ€

"Not for the time being, I may go on a business trip to Beijing next month, and I'll talk about it then." Chen Xi hung up the phone, lowered his head and poured out the last few pills from the medicine bottle, then drank water and swallowed it.
