"My dad looks serious, but he never talks to people like this. Is there some misunderstanding?" Chen Xi held Gu Shen's hand and looked into his eyes.
"Xiao Xi, don't you even believe me? Do you think I'm lying to you? Or do you think your father is right?" Gu Shen became a little excited. He held Chen Xi's hand tightly, for fear that he Just slip away.
"I didn't, of course not!" Chen Xi denied without thinking.
"I'm just wondering if there's any misunderstanding. If it's a misunderstanding, let's talk it over. If it's not a misunderstanding, I will definitely stand by your side, okay? Ashen, don't get excited first. I will have a good talk with my dad. , we won’t break up, okay?”
Gu Shen's eyes darkened, and he silently held Chen Xi in his arms. The silent look made Chen Xi feel heartbroken. She knew Gu Shen's family background, so she knew even more how difficult his journey was.
"You are the only one I have." Gu Shen buried his head in her neck, his voice muffled.
Chen Xi gently touched his head, "I know Ashen, I know it. You don't have to be afraid or worry."
After comforting Gu Shen, it was already early morning when Chen Xi returned home. She originally thought that the two elders had fallen asleep, so she deliberately kept her hands and feet quiet. When she walked into the living room, she found that it was brightly lit.
She walked in and saw the second elder of the Chen family sitting on the sofa with serious faces. Chen Xi pursed his lips and sat aside in an orderly manner. It seemed like he was going to have a sleepless night tonight.
"Dad, Mom." Chen Xi spoke first to break the silence.
"I just said, break up. If not, I will send you abroad as soon as you graduate."
The Chen family does not indulge their daughters, but Chen Wenxiong always treats Chen Xi thoughtfully and respects the child's wishes. He has never shown such a domineering side in front of her, which made Chen Xi frown.
Seeing Chen Wenxiong's appearance, Chen Xi's trust in Gu Shen's words had increased from five points to eight points.
"Dad, why have you become so arbitrary?"
"Am I arbitrary?" Chen Wenxiong was furious. He took a while to control his temper. "If your brother were here, I would take a stick and go down!"
"Speak nicely." Li Lanxin pulled Chen Wenxiong.
"Xiao Xi, I will support your father this time. He is right. That child is not a good man. Should you stop the loss in time?"
Chen Xi stood up and didn't understand why his parents became like this. "Why is he not a good man? His background is not good, but he works hard and is friendly to me. Why don't you agree? Just because of today's side, just because of his background, you have to deny him!"
"Good for you? Do you still remember what your dream is! He wants you to stay at home and be a housewife as soon as he gets married, and prepare Western dishes and soup every day for him to come home! He wants to make medical equipment, isn't it? Because he doesn’t even think about how miserable it is for ordinary people to see a doctor, but because he wants to make huge profits in this industry!”
"Is there anything wrong with this?" Chen Xi retorted without thinking. "It is because he has suffered that he wants to become rich. Is there anything wrong with that?"
As soon as the words came out, Chen Wenxiong and Li Lanxin both looked in disbelief.
"Xiao Xi, you...what did you say?"
"Yes, you are elegant, and you regard money as dirt, but there are so many suffering people in the world, and Gu Shen has suffered so much. What's wrong with him wanting to become a master? You deny him based on this, don't you think Is it too much?"
"There are many ways to make money. I don't object to him wanting to be a businessman, but he shouldn't become a member of the capital and exploit people who are suffering from the same illness as him and come from a bad background, right? Chen Xi! What have I taught you over the years? , have you forgotten it? What about your dream? Are you willing to give up your dream and just want to be a full-time wife who only lives around one person every day?”
Chen Wenxiong looked sad. He didn't understand why his proud daughter would become like this and say these words!
"I..." Chen Xi paused, looking at the disbelief and grief on his parents' faces, and stopped his mouth in time to avoid saying more hurtful words.
"A Shen loves me very much. He wants me to be a full-time wife because he wants me to take it easy. He is not wrong. I... I will convince him. Even if I get married in the future, I will not give up pursuing my own destiny. My dream is to become the concertmaster, I will do it.”
Chen Xi's voice weakened and he did not dare to look into Chen Wenxiong's eyes.
"I've already said this. If you insist on being with him, then I... won't care about you anymore. If you regret it in the future, you will have to bear the bitter fruit yourself."
Chen Wenxiong sighed. He still couldn't say anything harsh to his daughter. Chen Xi was as stubborn as his character. He actually packed up his things and left the house that night, and Li Lanxin couldn't stop him.
Chen Xi believed that his parents were antiques who only valued their family background and looked down upon Gu Shen's dream of becoming a successful businessman, so he chose to stay with Gu Shen without hesitation.
For her, she has parents and an eldest brother, but she is the only one with Gu Shen. Without her, what if Gu Shen went astray? She couldn't and didn't want to see this.
She must stay by Gu Shen's side and accompany him to success. When that time comes, her parents will definitely feel guilty about their narrow vision and accept Gu Shen again!
Since then, Chen Xizhen has lost contact with the Chen family, and he and Gu Shen lived in a dilapidated and small rental house, living a happy and peaceful life.
One day, Gu Shen came back smelling of alcohol...
"A Shen, what's wrong with you, drinking so much?"
"Xiao Xi, it's gone, everything is gone!" Gu Shen was still holding the wine bottle in his hand.
"What's missing?" Chen Xi frowned.
"That bastard Ye Shaohua signed the contract, and it was written in black and white. Just because a few machines failed to meet the standards and were just 0.03 millimeters short, he didn't want it. I...not only did I not earn a penny, I even paid He must be compensated for liquidated damages.”
"How much?" Chen Xi was calm.
"He said that since we were young people who had just come out, he took it as a lesson and didn't want us to pay compensation. But these machines are no longer needed. I...the money I invested is still in vain."
Gu Shen was so drunk that he even burped. Chen Xi frowned, but still coaxed him gently, helped him lie down on the cushion, and hurriedly went to the toilet to wet a towel and wipe his face.
"Chen Xi, they all look down on me. These people are aloof. They say righteous and awe-inspiring words. They say they think highly of me on the surface, but in fact they look down on me in their hearts. They all look down on me!" Gu Shen threw the wine bottle out and smashed the bottle. On the wall, shattered to pieces.
Chen Xi ignored the bottle and held Gu Shen in his arms, patting him gently.
"No, at least I'm with you. If that doesn't work, I'll go to the competition tomorrow and earn some bonuses. It's okay. I'm here."
As Chen Xi spoke, he didn't know where he touched Gu Shen, but he pushed him out.
Gu Shen's strength was great, and Chen Xi was unprepared, so his hand was stuck on the glass.
