Chapter 217 People who have trouble falling asleep

"hehe!"

"I'm back now."

As soon as the two entered the box, they saw their parents looking at them happily.

Chen Xi and Shen Xinyi smiled awkwardly and returned to their seats.

It was obvious that these people had misunderstood something.

Chen Xi was very surprised. His father had always opposed him having a relationship, so why did he suddenly call him here to have dinner this time?

Could it be that I am overthinking it?

Or do you not want him to be abducted by a poor woman and want to sell him for a good price?

After all, his relationship with his first love in China was opposed by Chen's father. Chen Xi always thought that it was because his first love's family conditions were too poor and Chen's father opposed it out of disdain.

"Chen Xi, thank you for helping my Xinyi in Mo Village. I'd like to toast you. I only have this one daughter."

"You're welcome, uncle."

Chen Xi quickly stood up, picked up the cup and responded to Shen's father.

"If Xinyi is in trouble in Mo Village, please take care of her. We are worried about her in a foreign country. Your father and I are classmates, and so are Xinyi's mother and your mother. You and Xinyi are classmates too. Get along well with each other in the future, haha!"

"sure."

Chen Xi smiled and nodded in agreement. He naturally understood what Mr. Shen meant, but he still had to pretend to do so on the surface.

Shen Xinyi kept her hands crossed under the table, seeming very uneasy.

After the dinner, the two families said goodbye to each other. Chen's father used the excuse that he had to go to the company and did not accompany them to the hotel.

"Tsk, just pretending." After Chen's father left, Chen's mother pouted in dissatisfaction and folded her hands across her chest, sulking.

The two have already divorced, but Chen's father still goes around saying how good he is to her. He has taken all the money, but he still pretends to be a model husband.

In his previous life, Chen Xi had heard his mother complain. At first, she did not agree to divorce, but was beaten and scolded by Chen's father. However, Chen's father made excuses and said no. Both of them insisted on their own words, and he did not know the real situation.

"How are you and the girl from the Shen family? His mother was praising you just now! She said you were so brave and protected her daughter."

"Haha, what do you want to do? Make me date her?"

Hearing his mother's words, Chen Xi sneered.

"Since you don't have that kind of idea about Shanshan, then it's a good opportunity for you to get in touch with her. Her parents like you very much. We are all very familiar with each other. The most important thing is your father's idea. He wanted you to meet before."

"Boring! You should pay more attention to business matters. This time in Huajing, the talks were quite good. How old am I now? Do you want to find a wife for me?"

"If you don't have a girlfriend, I'll start to suspect that there's something wrong with your sexual orientation. All my friends' kids are in love."

"Watch less romance movies. Your mind is full of that kind of stuff."

After a light-hearted bickering, the two finally got into the car laughing and returned to the hotel together.

"What do you think of the kid from the Chen family? He's handsome and well-mannered. Most importantly, he saved Xinyi. I think he's better than the kid from the Li family."

At night, when Shen's mother returned home, she started chatting with her husband.

"Well, but Old Chen is a very experienced guy. If our family encounters any business problems, he will definitely run away faster than a rabbit. At that time, it will be problematic whether the two families can get married. The Li family is in the same business as us, so they can help with our business matters." Father Shen lit a cigarette and answered his wife's questions with a serious face.

"Why are you smoking in the bedroom again? What a bad habit. Li's daughter Xinyi doesn't seem to like it. You should ask your daughter what she thinks about this matter. You only think about business every day, and your daughter is not a tool for you to make money."

Shen's mother waved her hands in dissatisfaction to disperse the smoke, and finally couldn't help but snatched the cigarette from the other person's hand and put it out fiercely in the ashtray.

"I know. Didn't I just hold back from smoking in the restaurant? Old Chen doesn't smoke or drink, and he doesn't like others smoking or drinking in front of him. It really made me feel suffocated." Father Shen stood up, walked to the balcony and lit another cigarette.

At this moment, Shen Xinyi was lying on the bed, holding a stuffed doll tightly in her arms.

She couldn't help fiddling with the doll, squeezing it into various shapes, as if looking for some kind of spiritual comfort. She tossed and turned on the bed, sighing deeply from time to time, and sometimes pressing the doll tightly against her face, as if trying to isolate herself from all the disturbances of the outside world.

She performed these two sets of movements repeatedly, revealing her inner restlessness and anxiety.

The image of a cold goddess no longer exists. Now, she seems to have transformed into a young girl who has just tasted the sweetness of love and is beginning to fall in love. She wanted to call Chen Xi to explain it again. It was too sudden in the hotel before, and she couldn't organize her words well.

However, when she picked up her phone, she was dismayed to find that there was no contact information for Chen Xi in China.

At this moment, she had no choice but to lie alone on the bed, surrounded by regret and helplessness.

"Hey, I was a gambler in my previous life, why does Shen Xinyi still like me? Is it really her parents' instructions?"

In the hotel, Chen Xi was lying on the sofa, smoking and thinking.

He is different in this life than in the past, and may be seen by others as being much more hardworking than other international students.

Shen Xinyi was much more proactive than in her previous life, and she did not stay away from him after learning that he had a girlfriend.

Although the two met differently in this life, there was still a spark.

"Dip~dip~"

"Hey, Kevin, it's all done, haha! Your mother is pretty easy to get along with, not as scary as you said. Thank you this time! You have jet lag over there, why aren't you sleeping yet! Okay, see you back in Australia."

Chen Xi hung up the phone. He came to Huajing this time to deal with financial leasing and legal issues, thanks to the help of his friend's mother.

If someone has money, the project will run much faster.

This is how the world is. The richer you get, the easier it is for you to do things than ordinary people. Others who start a business just have an idea, but it is difficult to implement it.

China has a large population, and the last thing it lacks is talent. Most people are stuck in the same place because they don't have this or that. For example, if it weren't for the help of Chen's mother in the early days, even the bank would not be willing to lend money to a poor man like him.

"Ding ding!" At this time, the phone rang again. It was an unfamiliar number.

Chen Xi frowned and looked at his phone, wondering who would call him so late.

By this time, those harassing advertising calls should have gone off work.

"Hello, Alin! Why are you calling me so late? You are also in Huajing... This is not Australia. Don't take me to any club. It's illegal. Oh~Okay." After a while, Chen Xi hung up the phone.

Alin asked him to meet tomorrow. He said he came to China this time to recruit students for studying abroad.

Ever since the Xicun incident, no one would dare to go to Australia to study, not to mention the high cost of studying abroad and the high prices of goods.

More people are willing to study in the United States. The pace of life in the United States is fast, prices are lower than in Australia, and cars are cheaper than in Australia, making it more suitable for young people.

Think about it, the cost of buying a Mazda 6 in Australia is almost the same as that of a BMW 5 Series in the United States. Who would be willing to go to Australia? Food is also cheap there.

The United States is a country with a large number of immigrants, and under the influence of various policies, people flock to it.

Australia, on the contrary, has implemented immigration restrictions, which has reduced the number of students studying abroad. After all, many people plan to stay there after completing their studies.

It costs tens of millions for business immigration to Australia, which is completely treating others as suckers. Only wealthy people who want to have retirement savings would do this.

Chen Xi shook his head, feeling that Alin would not gain much from this trip, and that his study abroad situation would only improve in two years.

"How are things going between you and Chen Xi?"

"What? He doesn't have that kind of idea about me."

In Xinlu City, Zhao Lingshan's mother sat on the bed, looking at her daughter who was lying beside her playing with her mobile phone, and poked her with her hand.

"Haha, that means you're not attractive enough. I've talked to Chen Xi's mother, and she thinks you're pretty good."

"Oh? What charm? You just taught me bad things. He must think I'm a strong woman, and men don't seem to like strong women." Zhao Lingshan was stunned at first and wanted to learn from her mother, but then she thought about it and sighed.

"What's wrong with strong women? Men like women who can help their careers. Humph~ Men will only be interested in weak women who only know how to play the victim every day, but will get bored later. Do you know what stupidity is?"

"Tsk, then why are you and my dad still in such a bad relationship? I think it's all your own idea."

Zhao Lingshan curled her lips, naturally not believing what her mother said.

Seeing that her daughter refused to listen, Zhao's mother began to give her ideological education lessons.
