Chapter 182: Deliberation
Settling down at the inn, Summer Solstice finally has time to buffer what just happened. Chen Huan impulsively broke up with Mrs. Chen, so now is he in a state of elopement? Xia Zhi pinched his face, bared his teeth and gasped, it didn't seem to be a dream, this was a real thing.
But looking even more uncertain is Lu Lan, who is standing on the side, the innocent little lamb who was forced to run away from home by Xia Zhi at the last moment.
Xia Zhi walked up to Lu Lan, stretched out his hand and waved in front of her eyes, [Lu Lan, are you okay? Sorry to drag you into the water too. 】
Lu Lan reacted and hurriedly waved her hand, [It's okay, it's okay, maybe it's okay to follow along.] But summer solstice girl, are those decoctions really for the fetus? 】
Lu Lan is originally a smart person, and it is not difficult to guess the truth if you string all this information together. Xia Zhi smiled awkwardly, [Let's put this matter on hold for now, you will know later.] 】
However, Lu Lan didn't intend to give up just yet, but asked more excitedly, [So this is true. The child is Young Master Heng's? 】
It turned out that I was concerned about this question, Xia Zhi raised his forehead and said perfunctorily, [Then I will only answer you this question, no. Don't ask about the rest. 】
【Hmm......】Lu Lan agreed, now she is also a grasshopper on a rope, it is better to think about what to do next.
At this time, Chen Huan walked in and said to Xia Zhi that he had already paid for half a month's expenses in advance, and he would settle down in this inn during this time, and then make plans.
Lu Lan went out and said that she would prepare some living utensils, leaving space for Xia Zhi and Chen Huan to be alone, and took the door and went out.
Xia Zhi looked at Chen Huan with some weakness, and the latter was in an extremely bad mood when he was covered with clouds.
[Why are you so impulsive to say such things to Mrs. Chen......] Xia Zhi opened his mouth timidly.
Chen Huan looked at her with a helpless expression, [I can't take it back even if I have already said it. But on your side, what secrets are hidden? And what's the deal with the decoction? 】
[Just ...... Abortion pills. I don't know how to explain it for a while, but at this time, should I hold on or be honest.
[So why did my mother let you drink abortion pills for no reason, and what did she say about the problem of eldest sons and grandchildren...... You are not pregnant, what kind of medicine do you drink for nothing! When Chen Huan received the news, he rushed to Langzhuyuan non-stop, but he saw Xia Zhi being forced to drink the decoction, and he stepped forward to smash the medicine bowl in a hurry.
How can you be sure I'm not pregnant? Even Mrs. Chen hinted intentionally or unintentionally that Xia Zhi might cuckold Chen Huan.
[Do you have that?] Chen Huan subconsciously denied this possibility, but now he was a little hesitant when he heard Xia Zhi ask.
Xia Zhi played, twisted his brows and gently stroked his stomach, and looked up at Chen Huan sadly, [What if there is really one? 】
Chen Huan paused for a moment and quickly replied, [Then you can't drink that abortion pill!] 】
[Then do you want to be a father?] Xia Solstice's eyes rolled around and continued to hypothetically ask.
[Why should I be a father, of course I am responsible for finding the child's biological father! ] Chen Huan immediately vetoed it.
Xia Zhi stretched out his right palm and forced him to give Chen Huan a high-five, and he was really a good partner with similar three views.
[I'm not pregnant, and drinking that abortion pill didn't make much of a difference. I could have calmed things down, but you completely messed it up, so you have to help me take part of the responsibility now. Xia Zhi doesn't care, things have developed to this point and she can't hold it alone, pulling Chen Huan into a group and saying that she can't solve the problem better.
[Well, you say it. Chen Huan immediately agreed, motioned for Xia Zhi to sit down and speak slowly.
Xia Zhi said while sorting out his thoughts, [Miss Xu Mengxu is pregnant, of course it is not Chen Heng's. She refused to give up the child, and used the important role of the Xu family in the Chen family's business as a bargaining chip, planning to give birth to the child without telling the world. I accidentally broke the incident and was threatened with helping her have a baby. Who knew that Mrs. Chen knew about boiling the fetal pills, and there was a place in Lane Zhuyuan...... That's all there is to it. 】
【…… That's why you came to ask me about the current situation of the Chen family's business? Chen Huan suddenly realized, no wonder Xia Zhi, who had never cared about this aspect, suddenly came to ask.
Xia Solstice nodded, [Who knows that I won't get exact news from your side......]
Chen Huan patted her head with his hand, [Are you embarrassed to blame me? If you don't talk about such a big thing early, ask who knows what your idea is! 】
Xia Zhi covered his head and hid backwards, while asking, [Now you know, so what should I do about this matter?] 】
[First of all, you must not hide Chen Heng's ......] Chen Huan's first consideration is the direct victim Chen Heng, with his shrewdness, if he finds out that he has been deceived, what he will do is not something he can imagine.
[Face problem? Xia Zhi asked without fear of death.
Chen Huan glanced at her, [That's for sure, you don't know what Chen Heng's heart is, how can he bear this matter? 】
[The businessman is very profitable, if the benefits he can get from the Xu family outweigh the harm of this matter, maybe he can reluctantly accept it? Xia Solstice continued to retreat behind him. [It's not that the Chen family's business has encountered a crisis, it is precisely because of this Miss Xu that she has no fear. 】
【…… Your opinion is really extreme, and profiteers also have a bottom line, okay! Chen Huan retorted, after all, they are brothers, and it is too pitiful to be slandered like this.
[But if you tell Chen Heng, wouldn't he want to withdraw from the marriage!? ] 】
[Sure, it's still too late to say now, do you have to wait until the wedding day for a showdown?] 】
[In this case, what will happen to the Chen family's business? 】
[......] Chen Huan was stumped, and after Xia Zhi asked, he asked his father on the side, but the situation was much worse than he imagined. As Xia Zhi said, the business capital turnover was not effective, and all the capital was bought into a batch of goods and stored in the warehouse at Xujia Wharf. If there was any failure in that shipment, the money would have been lost.
[Chen Huan, I have an idea that I don't know if it's feasible or not......] After being silent for a while, Xia Zhi spoke.
[You say.] 】
[If there is a risk for the Chen family to withdraw from the marriage, it is better to let the Xu family take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, so that the Xu family will lose money, and they will not make any retaliatory actions against the Chen family. 】
[How do you say?] You also said that Miss Xu was bent on concealing it to the end, did you directly skip the negotiation between Miss Xu and Master Xu? 】
Xia Zhi shook his head and told Chen Huan a more cruel news, [Didn't you always send medicine to Miss Xu a few days ago, and then inquired about the bad news, Mrs. Xu seems to know. However, they chose to hide it together, and they had no intention of telling the Chen family at all. So it doesn't work. 】
