Chen Xi has always had a very good relationship with her sister-in-law. Although they are about five years apart, they are like sisters.

Sometimes Sheng Zhiyi and Chen Shengyuan quarreled, and Chen Xi would side with his sister-in-law and teach his brother a lesson.

After all, he had brought Sheng Zhiyi home when he was sixteen and gave birth to a son when he was nineteen. He had no reason not to treat her well.

At this time, an elegant and beautiful woman came out of the kitchen, wearing an apron. It was obvious that she had been cooking in the kitchen just now.

She walked over and grabbed Chen Zhinian's ear: "You also know that I like your aunt the most, so how dare you eat hamburgers and fried chicken wings? Aren't you afraid of my family's service?"

Chen Zhanian cried out in pain: "Ah, Mom, I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't dare to eat it again next time, please just spare me!"

Sheng Zhiyi snorted coldly, let go of the little brat's ears, "Go and do your homework."

Chen Zhinian said "oh" and went to do his homework aggrievedly.

How could he dare to commit any crime in front of his mother?

Chen Xi couldn't help but want to laugh a little when she saw him like this.

Then Sheng Zhiyi met Chen Xi's gaze, and a smile immediately appeared on her face, as if she was not the one who scolded Chen Zhinian just now.

"Are you finally willing to come back? Dad is in the study upstairs. Go and say hello. Although he doesn't usually say hello, he still misses you as my daughter."

Chen Xi nodded: "Yes, I know."

"Go quickly, I'm going to cook first. Your brother will probably be back soon."

Chen Xi said hello, changed her shoes and went upstairs.

Sheng Zhiyi turned around and went into the kitchen to continue cooking the dinner she had not finished.

Chen Shengyuan's study is in the innermost corner of the second floor, and Chen Xi's room is on the other side.

She first went back to her room to put her phone away for charging, and then knocked on the study door.

After a while, a strong voice of a middle-aged and elderly man came from the room: "Come in."

Chen Xi then pushed the door open and walked in.

His father's study was very large, with a variety of books on the bookshelves and a sofa and coffee table. At this moment, Chen Minghua was sitting in front of the desk, staring at the screen without blinking.

They didn't even look to see who it was.

Chen Xi hasn't seen Chen Shengyuan for several months, and he has a lot more white hair.

She walked over, put her hands on her lower abdomen, and said politely, "Dad."

Hearing this voice, Chen Minghua stopped operating the mouse, slowly raised his eyelids, and his eyes fell on Chen Xi in front of the desk.

Chen Minghua is already in his sixties this year, and most of his short hair has turned gray.

At his age, he is a bit stout and chubby. He is inexplicably cute when he is wearing reading glasses in front of the computer screen.

Chen Xi's smile was low, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and smile.

Chen Minghua thought it would be a servant or Chen Shengyuan who came in, but he never expected that it would be his daughter who had not been home for hundreds of years.

After regaining his composure, Chen Minghua quickly launched the webpage he was browsing, as if he had some little secret that he was afraid of being discovered by Chen Xi.

Looking at Chen Xi, he felt a little guilty for no reason. He obviously missed his daughter very much, but when he really saw her, his tone of voice was not very good: "Are you willing to come back?"

Chen Xi: "..."

The little girl thought to herself, do you think I want to come back?

If her eldest brother hadn't said you were in poor health recently, she wouldn't have bothered to run back.

However, looking at Chen Minghua's mental state, it didn't look like he was in poor health. Chen Xi felt that her brother was lying to her.

But as to what the reason was, she didn't think about it.

Chen Xi's temper was inherited from Chen Minghua. If his tone was bad, she would not be much better either.

"Well, come back and see every year."

Chen Minghua: "..."

What's so good about that little brat Nian Nian? Why not look at him, an old man with one foot in the coffin!

However, he just thought about this in his mind and did not say it out loud.

He just said with a cold face: "Now that you're back, just stay at home. It doesn't sound like living outside all the time."

Chen Xi said, "I think it's pretty good. It's close to work."

Chen Minghua said, "In your profession, you are still close to work, but I haven't seen you do anything in two years."

When Chen Xi enters the entertainment industry, her father is not optimistic about it.

She was asked to work in the company several times, but she really had no talent outside of skating, let alone doing business, so she refused.

"What happened to my career? No matter how bad it is, I can still support myself, right?" Chen Xi was a little unconvinced, but he didn't say anything harsh.

Chen Minghua was speechless by her rebuke. After being silent for a while, he said: "That's all, I can't control you anyway. Once you suffer enough, you will know that your family will be better."

Chen Xi thought to herself, you said the same thing two years ago, but didn't she still stay in the entertainment industry for two years?

She survived the whole internet blackout, and now that she has finally made some progress, she won't give up.

So he smiled and said: "Don't worry, that day won't happen."

Chen Minghua snorted coldly and did not continue to argue with Chen Xi on this topic.

After all, he still knows his daughter's temper. What if he offends her and refuses to go home?

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and Chen Minghua asked slightly awkwardly: "Do you have anyone to talk to?"

"Um..." Chen Xi didn't expect her father to suddenly ask her such a question, and she was stunned for a moment.

Chen Minghua also felt that it was awkward to ask his daughter this question, and her daughter might not necessarily tell him the truth.

After a pause, he then said: "The son of a friend of mine is about the same age as you. He graduated from a prestigious school and has a good personality in all aspects. If you don't have a boyfriend, please find time to meet with me some other time."

Chen Xi: "..."

She said why did dad suddenly ask her such a question? It turned out that he wanted to set her up on a blind date!

Chen Xi said without thinking: "Who said I don't have a boyfriend? I do. He is also a graduate of a prestigious school and has a good personality. I think he is good!"

Chen Minghua looked suspicious, "Is it true?"

Chen Xi, "Really!"

Chen Minghua had no doubts, "Okay, now that you have a partner, bring it back to me some other time."

Chen Xi, "???"

No, why didn’t daddy play his cards according to the routine?

"No, no need, dad. It's just a boyfriend. We haven't been dating for long yet. There's no need to meet the parents so soon, right?"

Chen Minghua couldn't refuse: "Why don't you use it? You are not young anymore. If the other person is good, then have a good talk and then get married and have children. If he is not good, then don't waste your time."

Chen Xi said without thinking: "I think he is a nice person. Don't worry, I will definitely talk to him carefully!"

Chen Minghua said, "If this is the case, then bring it back to me as soon as possible."

Chen Xi, "Is it okay if I don't take it with me?"

Chen Minghua, "If I don't take you, come with me to meet my friend's son."

The implication is that if you don't see anyone, you are single and you are lying to me.

Chen Minghua is as smart as anything.

Chen Xi: "..."
