A short call explained Chen Xiao's complicated mood at this moment.
He signaled to the waiter not to call or disturb him, and then closed the door. Then, Luo Han sighed secretly and tried to calm him down as calmly as possible: "Don't worry, if anything happens, let's sit down and discuss it carefully."
Luo Han's calmness really brought great comfort to Chen Xiao. His absent-minded pupils slowly became more rational, but the worry remained undiminished, and the sad look on his face was still there, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
: "Actually, I also know that at this time, I should be as calm as possible and control my emotions as much as possible. However, I have tried very hard, but I still feel nervous and hesitant..."
"I know!" Luo Han nodded understandingly: "It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. You have lived a wealthy life for nearly 9 years. If you are asked to go back to the previous embarrassment, you will probably
Rejection and fear...!”
"No..." Chen Xiao shook his head urgently 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 since Aunt Fen has a child this time, she will have the confidence to speak in front of my father. For the sake of the child, my father will probably not treat me well."
It's as good as before. Seriously speaking, in the entire Chen family, the only one I care about most is my dad. When you didn't come just now, I thought about it carefully. The worst outcome is nothing more than losing me.
This qualification. Wuliu Environmental Protection Group is only influential in Shenhai City, but it is nothing outside. I have the skills, education, and one year of work experience. I have also saved a lot of pocket money over the years, but not much.
, I can still spend more than 2 million. I can definitely buy an apartment in other places and find a job to support myself. It will definitely not be a problem to have enough food and clothing."
"It's just," he slowly sat back on the chair, staring blankly at the mahjong table in front of him, analyzing his true feelings to his best friend bit by bit, his absent-minded eyes slowly losing focus:
"The dean's grandma once told me that returning to my father's side and being recognized by him was my mother's last wish before she died. I don't want to quit so easily!"
"You know, I have always pitied Aunt Fenn before. A woman who cannot be a mother is, in a sense, an incomplete woman. But now that she is pregnant, my feelings have suddenly changed. I don't
I dare to believe that she can tolerate my existence as silently as before. I can no longer face her with the relaxed and fearless mentality before. On the contrary, I don’t have such strong hostility towards the fetus in her belly. You say
, am I too sensitive and too selfish?”
Luo Han understands Chen Xiao's inner contradictions very well. As a child who grew up in an orphanage, Chen Xiao's character also has many common problems, such as being easily hesitant to do things, not confident, and being unpredictable in life.
He would appear a little confused and scared, but 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, would stand up and protect Chen Xiao when others bullied him.
Eventually, he and Chen Xiao became close friends who trusted each other.
Luo Han shook his head and comforted him with words: "This is not selfishness, this is a kind of subconscious self-protection. As a mother, Aunt Fen is not your biological mother. It is natural for her to strive for the best interests of her children. This is her
Therefore, the two of you will inevitably conflict. I am sure that she has two thoughts in her mind right now: first, to protect the fetus in her belly, give birth to it safely, and then raise it to adulthood; second, to protect the fetus in her belly and bring it up safely;
, that is, after confirming that the fetus is a boy, I will take back your inheritance rights! This is not her fault, nor 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 grandma talk about the love history of Chen Xiao's biological mother and Chen Lizhu, Luo Han has always had a strong opinion on the vain and stubborn Mr. Chen. A good couple was torn apart like this.
!
"Alas!" Chen Xiao frowned in distress, convinced: "That's right! All the things were done by the old man. If he had agreed to my mother's marriage, nothing would have happened now! The biggest key now is
It’s also the old man. If he were not around, I would still have some confidence in fighting for this inheritance. After all, I am already so old and have certain abilities, and Aunt Fen’s child has just been conceived. But the old man is very healthy now and will not live for another twenty years.
No problem, I," there was a hint of bitterness in the corner of his mouth: "I'm really not sure I can fight against Aunt Fen. She has brothers and the entire family to help, but I only have you!".
Chen Xiao was so lacking in confidence that Luo Han couldn't help but feel sad. I thought back to the beginning, I also lacked confidence. Fortunately, my talent in learning quickly helped me rebuild this confidence, and I passed the accounting certificate exam for the first time.
The experiences I have passed have completely solidified the confidence I have cultivated bit by bit.
However, we can't let Chen Xiao continue to be depressed now. Since Chen Xiao has come to this day, is Chen Lizhu's biological flesh and blood, and officially appeared in public in this capacity 8 years ago, then there is really no need now, just because
When Wen Zhengfen got pregnant unexpectedly, she gave up and gave up the rights she should have had.
In other words, if Chen Xiao was just an adopted son, Luo Han would persuade Chen Xiao to give up. People sometimes need to be self-aware and grateful.
Thinking about his new superpower, Luo Han felt confident again, shook his head, tried his best to put aside this sudden weakness, and looked at Chen Xiao seriously: "No, I am saying this now for the sake of fashion.
Early. The gender of the fetus cannot be identified until four months later. Now only one month has passed, and we still have three months of buffer time. Moreover, if Aunt Fen is pregnant with a girl, it will not be until at least a year before she gets pregnant again.
, at that time, if your old man passes away and your father really takes charge, you will have more opportunities. Although your old man values his legitimate concubine, he also values bloodline. Even if Aunt Fen gives birth to a son, he may not
I support you as the heir, but after all, you are also your father's biological flesh and blood, and he has officially recognized his biological grandson. After nearly 9 years of getting along with you, it is impossible for him to have no feelings for you, and he will not let Aunt Fen beat you to death.
"
Seeing that Chen Xiao's face slowly regained some color due to this analysis, and his eyes became a little brighter, Luo Han said again: "Let me assume that Aunt Fen gave birth to a son, but to grow up, it will take at least a few years for him to grow up.
Twenty years. Your dad is now almost 50 years old. In these twenty years, he cannot always be on the front line. Someone will always need help. Although Aunt Fen has an older brother and a younger brother, the old man will never give up on you.
But two people with foreign surnames were allowed to come into the Chen family and make suggestions."
This is true. Chen Xiao is an illegitimate son, not a foster son or an adopted son. He still inherits the blood of the Chen family. Maybe he is not as "orthodox" as Wen Zhengfen's children, but he is definitely better than the Wen family.
Be reliable.
Chen Xiao is not stupid. He was panicking before because he was in Lushan Mountain. Now after listening to Luo Han's careful analysis, his mood quickly stabilized and he seemed to have realized something: "Then according to you, I am just walking away now."
There are two ways, one, try your best to keep my inheritance rights; two, take a step back, occupy an important position in the environmental protection group, and just hold on to one territory?"
"That's right!" Luo Han said leisurely: "Your grandfather is the only son of your father, and your father is currently the only son of you. If the environmental protection group is so big, it can accommodate so many people with foreign surnames occupying high positions. How can it be tolerated?
Isn’t he a true disciple of Chen named you?”
Chen Xiao first breathed a sigh of relief and was quite moved, but then he frowned again: "But if Aunt Fen really gives birth to a son and obtains the inheritance rights with the support of the old man, she will have a lot of opportunities.
They made things difficult for me in every possible way. My mother has already lost to her, and I don’t want to be angry with her anymore. I feel very useless.”
Before, Wen Zhengfen knew that she was infertile and lacked confidence, and the old man was suppressing her. After Chen Xiao was recognized by Chen Lizhu, she did not dare to show any expression to Chen Xiao, so there was no reason for him to be angry with her.
But that's how people are. When they first encounter a disaster, they lose all their energy, as if the sky is about to fall. But once they know that they will not fall into despair and have no worries about food and clothing, their thoughts change and they hope that the situation can be better.
A little dignity, or strive for more benefits.
Moreover, there is still a thorn in Chen Xiao's heart - why can the Chen family raise an heir up high and keep him well fed and clothed when they need an heir? Now there is another choice, and
Can you turn your back on someone?
Even kittens and puppies are reluctant to throw away after they are grown, let alone their own flesh and blood?
"Alas!" Luo Han could understand his mood, but he really hated iron and steel: "Xiao Xiao, why can't you turn your head? Although I said, you can definitely occupy a position in the environmental protection group.
It’s an important position, but that doesn’t mean you have to put all your thoughts on it! Don’t you think this time is also an opportunity?”
"Opportunity?" Chen Xiao looked at him doubtfully: "What opportunity?"
