This is a Western restaurant. In fact, Chen Xu prefers Chinese food, so it's okay to change the taste occasionally. Luo Xiyun is not picky about food and can accept both Chinese and Western food. Every time they go out on a date, Chen Xu will try to take her to different places to enjoy a variety of different foods.

Sometimes, when ordering food, it is quite interesting to listen to her explain the origin and eating methods of certain Western foods.

"You and your cousin seem to have a good relationship." Chen Xu suddenly talked about what happened at the airport.

Luo Xiyun flipped through the menu and said, "Well, I moved to my grandmother's house when I was in junior high school. He was only in elementary school for a few years, and I lived there until college, watching him go from elementary school to junior high school. Before that, I always thought I was an only child and treated him as my own brother."

"Why did your aunt and her family go abroad? Life in the U.S. is not easy right now."

"At first, due to differences in business philosophy, my aunt moved abroad. This time when she came back, she didn't even visit grandma. She always felt that grandma was partial to her..."

Chen Xu thought, this is another feud between wealthy families, and changed the subject, "Does your aunt only have one child?"

"There is another daughter, one year younger than me, who did not go abroad with them. It seems that because of this, my aunt had a quarrel with her."

"Did she go to work at your uncle's company?"

"No, it seems that a teahouse has opened. I wanted to go there several times, but I couldn't find the time."

Chen Xu keenly noticed that when she mentioned this cousin, her expression was a little strange, so he asked, "You don't like this cousin?"

Luo Xiyun shook her head, looked at the cup on the table, and said as if reminiscing, "She looks very much like my mother. People used to say that she is more like my mother's daughter. After my mother passed away, every time I saw her, I would think of my mother. I would be sad and hide and cry secretly. Not long after, my grandmother let her move back with my aunt and her family."

"Maybe it was because of something that happened in the past, she has always had some complaints about me. After that, we didn't have much contact. In fact, we haven't seen each other for several years. During the Chinese New Year, she didn't even go back to her grandmother's house, so we haven't met since then."

Chen Xu wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about her relatives so as to avoid accidentally offending them when they meet them in the future.

Then he asked about her uncle's family.

Luo Xiyun's mother has three siblings. Her mother is the eldest sister, followed by her uncle, and her aunt is the youngest.

Among them, her uncle only had a son, and her aunt had a son and a daughter, so they didn't have many children.

However, she said that her uncle seemed to have an illegitimate child outside. When Chen Xu heard her say this, he knew that her uncle's family would definitely have a lot of trouble in the future.

Then they ordered their food and changed the subject.

After a while, the food was served.

Chen Xu picked up the knife and fork and was about to start when he heard her suddenly say, "Actually, my father and my uncle are half brothers."

He was slightly stunned and his hands stopped moving. He really didn't know about this before.

"My dad was a child when my grandmother died of illness. Later, she remarried and my uncle was born to that woman. Since then, my dad has not been welcomed at home."

"After grandpa died, according to his will, most of the property was left to my uncle, and my dad only got a small part. After my uncle died, all the property fell into the hands of that woman. My dad has always wanted to take back the property that belonged to the Luo family."

Chen Xu finally understood why Luo Zhenghai was so against his relationship with Luo Xiyun. Judging from the results, it was not surprising that he suspected Yang Jinxia of killing his parents and brother to seize the family property. If it were him, he would have the same suspicion.

However, there was one thing he couldn't figure out, "Then how did your father take back the Tianluo Group?" If Yang Jinxia got most of the Luo family's property, how could it be Luo Zhenghai's turn to control the Tianluo Group?

"The Luo family always has their own connections. My father got the support of some shareholders and became the chairman of the Tianluo Group. Moreover, the Tianluo Group did not have such a scale at the beginning. Later, through several mergers and acquisitions, the Tianluo Group really grew stronger. At the same time, it also diluted Yang Jinxia's shares."

"It was also during that time that Yang Jinxia's grandmother was so angry that she vomited blood and was admitted to the hospital, never to get up again. Yang Jinxia also truly took charge of Jinxiu Investment. Since then, my father has never taken any advantage of her. This woman is much more powerful than her grandmother."

Chen Xu had heard Yang Jinxia mention her grandmother before, and it was obvious that she had a close relationship with her grandmother. In this case, Yang Jinxia and Luo Zhenghai had a deep hatred for each other.

He had no idea at all.

………………

After dinner, Chen Xu sent Luo Xiyun home and drove directly into the community.

"Let me take you upstairs." He parked the car downstairs of her house and suggested.

"No need, you can go back." Luo Xiyun shook his head.

Chen Xu looked at her and said, "The three-month deadline has passed."

Luo Xiyun's face flushed, and he spat, "Is this what you think about all day long?"

"I'm a man, it's normal to want to, if you don't want to, then you should worry."

"..." Luo Xiyun lowered his head, and after a while, he whispered, "I still can't accept what happened between you and that woman. I know, it's not your fault. It's my problem. Can you give me some more time?"

Chen Xu had a bad feeling and asked, "How long will it take?"

After a few seconds, she said uncertainly, "Half...half a year."

Chen Xu smiled bitterly, "Can I say no?"

"I'm sorry." She lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.

Chen Xu didn't know what to say. He originally thought that Yang Jinxia's matter was over, but he didn't expect that there was such a pit waiting for him. He felt a little uncomfortable.

After Luo Xiyun went upstairs, he got out of the car, leaned against the door, and saw the lights in the windows of the floor where she was light up before he got back in the car, started the car and left.

There is still time now, so he plans to go back to the company. There is something he wants to ask Secretary Jin, which is where she heard that Luo Xiyun was going abroad to work.

After a big mistake today, he finally reconciled with Luo Xiyun by accident. However, he was quite concerned about the truth of this matter, so he didn't ask her when they were having dinner just now.

When he returned to the company, Secretary Jin was still there, typing away at her desk. When he asked her about it, she stopped, looked at him, and said, "If I hadn't said that, would you have rushed to find her?"

"So, you made this up to lie to me?" Chen Xu never expected to get such an answer.

Secretary Jin stood up and said sincerely, "I was wrong about this matter. I shouldn't have lied to you. I'm sorry. You can punish me."

Chen Xu didn't know what to say for a moment. If he was angry, he was a little angry. He was deceived by her, so it would be strange if he wasn't angry. However, she was kind-hearted after all. If he really punished her for this matter, it would be like taking advantage of her.

"Deduct half a month's salary." He said coldly.

"I accept."

Chen Xu turned and left, unable to help sighing in his heart. Even if he punished her this time, he still had to accept her kindness and would always find a way to compensate her in the future.

Having a secretary like this is really a headache.

PS: The second update is done, I'm going to sleep. Sorry for the lack of words. I will make up for it after I move to the new house in two days. Please vote for me.
