Yang Jinxia suddenly chuckled, "You're not taking this seriously, are you?"
Chen Xu looked at her, but he didn't feel relaxed at all. The way she said those things just now didn't seem like she was joking at all.
He felt a splitting headache when he thought that one day in the future Yang Jinxia might bring a child to his house and recognize him as a father. Luo Xiyun absolutely could not accept such a thing.
"You..." He wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say it.
He knew very well that if Yang Jinxia really wanted to do this, he had no way to stop her. Once a person like her made a decision, it was impossible to shake her with words.
"Where were we talking just now?" Yang Jinxia seemed not to notice his ugly expression, and continued to talk to herself, "By the way, about carrying on the family line, speaking of it, I actually don't have any Yang family blood in me. You are so obsessed with continuing the Yang family, but in the end, who can you fool? You can't fool anyone."
Although Chen Xu was a little confused, he also heard the sarcasm in her tone, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Her attitude towards her grandmother seemed a little strange.
Thinking about the uncomfortable feeling just now, he had some vague guesses. It seemed that her feelings towards her grandmother were not simple, and seemed to contain some resentment.
"Since I was little, you have been my only relative, and I always listen to you. You said you wanted to make friends with Xiaoya, so I tried my best to get close to her and please her."
Chen Xu heard that her tone was a little strange, so he looked at her and saw that she looked a little dazed, probably lost in her memories. He did not disturb her, but just listened quietly.
"You asked me to marry into the Luo family. Even though his youngest son disgusted me, I still married him."
"Later, you asked me to seduce Luo Zhenghai, but you fell before I even started."
Chen Xu was a little surprised when he heard this. Although he didn't know who Xiaoya was, he knew the Luo family. This old woman actually asked Yang Jinxia to seduce her husband's brother.
Moreover, from what she said, she really intended to follow her grandmother's advice and do this. However, before she could do so, the old lady fell ill.
"I know that when you first married into the Yang family, it was the most glorious time of the Yang family. Later, the Yang family declined, and you have never resigned yourself to this and wanted to revive the Yang family. Unfortunately, the men in the Yang family are all short-lived. Your husband died, and your son also died. Only a few women are left. The old ones have to split up the family, and the young ones have to remarry."
"You saw that the Yang family was about to fall apart and be extinct. You finally couldn't help it and came up with a plan..."
Chen Xu could guess what method her grandmother used. How could she hide such a thing from others? One could imagine how many rumors she had to endure since she was a child.
Then, Yang Jinxia continued, "...But you didn't expect that your daughter-in-law couldn't accept this kind of thing and would rather die than surrender. You were afraid of causing a death, so you had to give up the idea. In the end, you came here by yourself."
When Chen Xu heard this, he felt as if his head was buzzing. He thought he had misheard and looked at her stupidly.
"You told everyone that the child was your granddaughter, but there is no such thing as a wall without cracks in this world. You know, Xiaoya often teases me about this and even shares it with her boyfriend."
"You have never told me what the Yang family was like in the past. But I know that everything you do is to restore the former glory. As long as you can do it, you can pay any price."
"Even if you fall ill, what you will always think about is the career you have worked hard for your whole life. Am I right, my mother?"
Yang Jinxia's tone was very calm without any fluctuations. However, Chen Xu, who was standing by, felt a chill running down his spine.
After a while, she suddenly turned her head and looked at him, saying, "Chen Xu, do you think I should be grateful to her or resent her? She gave birth to me but didn't recognize me. She even used me as a tool to achieve her various goals."
…………
Until he left the hospital, Chen Xu was still a little dazed. He thought about a lot of things that had happened since he met Yang Jinxia.
He always felt that she was mysterious and elusive. This was true in his dreams, and even more so in reality. Her various behaviors were sometimes really incomprehensible to him.
Until just now, after learning about her life experience, he finally saw a corner of her heart hidden deep inside. He finally understood that some of her seemingly absurd behaviors had deep psychological reasons.
In the past, he was wary of Yang Jinxia, and even a little afraid of her.
Now, he felt a little sympathetic towards her. Growing up in such an environment, it was understandable that she would become like this. If anyone was to blame, it could only be her biological mother.
He drove to the company, thinking about her all the way. The more he thought about her, the more confused he became.
When he returned to the company, it was not yet twelve o'clock. Secretary Jin saw him coming in and stepped forward to greet him, "Mr. Chen, you're back."
"Yeah." Chen Xu walked into the office and sat down. Seeing her standing in the office, he asked, "What's the matter?"
Secretary Jin asked curiously, "Where did you and CEO Yang go?"
He asked curiously, "Do you know her?"
"I visited her with my former boss. Although I only met her once, I was very impressed."
Chen Xu was moved when he heard her say that, and asked, "How big is her company?"
"You don't know?" This time it was Secretary Jin's turn to be curious.
He said truthfully, "I don't really understand."
Secretary Jin wanted to ask him how he knew Yang Jinxia, but she held back and said, "Her Jinxiu Investment is one of the most powerful investment companies in the country, but she is a low-key person and never accepts interviews. She has not appeared in the public eye, so not many people know about her."
"Jinxiu Investment is not a listed company. No one knows how much assets it has except her. Just based on the disclosed data, Jinxiu Investment holds one of the top ten shares in several Internet giants. These shares alone are enough to make her one of the richest people in the country."
Chen Xu was silent for a while. He knew that Yang Jinxia was rich, but he never expected that he would be this rich.
"Then who is better, compared with Mr. Luo from Tianluo Group?"
"It's really hard to compare, after all, they are in different industries. Besides, at their level, it's hard to say who is better than who. If they really fight, most likely no one will be able to do anything to the other."
