The two robbers on the ground were hit by the man. They cried for their father and mother and couldn't get up. It seems that the man's shot was too heavy, which made them unable to be arrogant anymore.
The man took a step forward and his eyes fell on Sui's slightly red and swollen face. Dark light surged in his pupils, but his voice was extremely gentle: "Does it hurt?"
As soon as he finished speaking, something flashed in front of him, and his face felt a burning pain.
"Why did you hit me?" After being slapped by the woman, Dongfang Xin frowned in displeasure and glared at Sui Yi with anger in his eyes.
"Does it hurt?" Yi Yi pouted.
"How could it not hurt..." At this point, Dongfang Xin suddenly understood something and his face darkened: "Chen Shiyi, let others know how you feel in this way, doesn't it feel good?"
Shi Yi stared at him intently, his voice unusually cold: "You shouldn't have asked me that nonsense just now!"
Dongfang Xin had a dark look on his face.
"Sui Yi." Looking at the interaction between them, Xiao Cao'er's eyebrows slightly raised. She took a step forward, her little hands wrapped around Sui Yi's arm, but her eyes never left Dongfang Xin's face: "Who is he?"
"Dongfang Xin." Shi Yi said calmly, and then his face changed slightly as if he thought of something: "Dongfang Xin, why do you appear here?"
"I'm bored, why don't we go to Rome for a walk?" Dongfang Xin's response was extremely calm.
"Of course it's not strange that you were bored walking around Rome, but it's another matter if you walked in front of me." Shi Yi sneered: "You must have followed me here, otherwise how could you have saved us by chance?
?”
"You woman... I saved you, but you didn't even say thank you, but you still hit me... I'm going to forgive you for this, why do you still have an aggressive attitude?" Dongfang Xin said with a face.
Displeasure surfaced: "Are you grateful?"
"I don't need to feel that way about you at all."
Listening to her cold words, Dongfang Xin frowned slightly. But thinking of the harm he had done to her in Zurich, he felt guilty, so he gritted his teeth and endured the appropriate ridicule. He calmed down and looked along the station.
The face of the little girl next to her flashed, and her eyes slowly narrowed: "What does this little girl have to do with you?"
Shi Yi pulled Xiao Cao'er behind him and said solemnly: "It has nothing to do with you!"
Xiao Cao'er poked out his little head from Shi Yi's armpit, looked at Dongfang Xin and said with a smile: "Uncle, my name is Grass, my Chinese name is Chen Xiaojia, people who are familiar with me call me Xiao Cao'er, Shi Yi and I
It’s a mother-daughter relationship!”
Dongfang Xin's eyes darkened when he heard this: "How is that possible? You are already ten years old, right? It's almost enough to say that you are her sister!"
In the information Chi Yu gave him, there was no mention of the existence of this little girl. He had been following them before and had heard their exchanges. Xiao Cao'er had always called her by the right name, but he had never called her
Mommy and so on. How could he not be surprised when he heard the little girl's words now?
"I'm nine years old this year, uncle. It's because I'm tall and have long legs that I look more mature than kids of the same age, so you think I'm more than ten years old!" Xiao Cao'er smiled, her eyebrows filled with sparkle.
: "I am quite mature in my thinking and very sensible. Uncle, everyone thinks I can become a model, what do you think?"
Listening to the series of words coming out of her small mouth, Dongfang Xin raised his eyebrows slightly, and under the gaze of her big, watery eyes, he couldn't help but responded: "She looks sweet and cute, and she can really do it."
Go be a model. If you are interested, I can package you——"
"Dongfang Xin, shut up!" Shi Yi cut off Dongfang Xin's words coldly: "Just go where you came from, and don't appear in front of me! Xiao Cao'er, let's go!"
"Su Yi, we are uncles and guests, we can't be so rude." Xiao Cao'er stretched out his hand to hold Su Yi, turned his head and looked at Dongfang Xin and said, "Uncle, do you want to come to our house as a guest?"
"Okay!" Dongfangxin spoke first before it was time to express his opinion.
He must take the opportunity to find out whether they are really mother and daughter. If Xiao Cao'er is really Chen Shiyi's daughter, then how old was she when she gave birth? Fourteen or five years old? Isn't this too outrageous?
?Then who is this little girl’s father? What kind of existence does that man have in Chen Shiyi’s heart?
But Shi Yi glared at Xiao Cao'er with an eyebrow raised, obviously not happy that Dongfang Xin was visiting their home. The little girl noticed her expression, smiled, shook her arm and said, "Shi Yi, a friend is coming from far away."
, isn’t it a pleasure?”
"Your Chinese is really good!" Dongfang Xin immediately praised.
"It's suitable for teaching!" Xiao Cao'er smiled sweetly at him.
"Really? I really can't tell." Dongfang Xin glanced at Shiyi, and then turned to Xiaocao'er under her angry gaze: "You must be better than your predecessor."
"Thank you for the compliment, uncle!" Xiao Cao'er raised his palm and hit Dongfang Xin with each other.
Seeing the harmonious scene between them, Su Yi's heart skipped a beat, and something flowed through her heart. She bit her lower lip lightly, and a thought suddenly came to her mind: If they were a family,
That should be a happy family, right?
"Su Yi, let's go!" Xiao Cao'er took Dongfang Xin's and Sui Yi's hands respectively: "Let's go home!"
"What should they do?" It was appropriate to take a look at the robber who was still lying on the ground.
"You don't care about them!" Dongfang Xin bent down, picked up her handbag, and gave the person who just hit her a hard kick, saying, "Let them fend for themselves!"
Although she hated the two robbers just now, seeing them being taught a lesson by Dongfang Xin, Shi Yi didn't want to pursue the case anymore and just let Xiao Cao'er pull her away from the scene.
She didn't notice that when Dongfang Xin turned the corner, he winked at someone standing not far away. The latter understood, nodded to him, and walked in the direction of the two robbers.

"Stop ahead." When the car drove to the entrance of a side street, a man's voice suddenly sounded from the back seat.
"What for?" Although Shiyi seemed extremely impatient, he finally stepped on the brakes.
Dongfang Xin didn't say anything, he just opened the car door and said, "Wait for me for five minutes."
Then, he got out of the car.
Seeing him turn around and walk towards a drugstore on the roadside, Xiao Cao'er turned his face and his eyes fell on Shi Yi's face: "Shi Yi, you hit him too hard just now, and his face was swollen. I
I guess he is going to buy some medicine to remove swelling!"
"You are the only smart one!" Shi Yi reached out and poked her forehead: "Xiao Cao'er, didn't I teach you not to talk to strangers casually? Why did you invite him to our house just now? You know
I don’t know, if the other person is a bad person, how dangerous is it for you to do this?”
"Oh, how could he be a bad person? You obviously know him!" Xiao Cao'er stuck out his tongue: "He who is suitable for you to know and interact with will definitely not be a bad person. Besides, he also helped us!
Don’t you often tell me that a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring of water? So I invited him to our home as a guest, so that we would appear to be well-educated!”
Sui Yi was choked by her words and was speechless.
Very good! This girl can actually choke her with the words she once taught her.
"Su Yi, don't be angry. Look, he's out." Xiao Cao'er had sharp eyes and saw Dongfang Xin walking out of the pharmacy with a bag in his hand. He couldn't help but smile and said, "He must be going shopping."
It’s swollen with medicine, my guess is not wrong!”
Shiyi tapped her on the head and saw Dongfang Xin open the car door and get in. He was about to start the car when he saw the man hand the bag to her: "Chen Shiyi, your face... put some medicine on it first!"
Xiao Cao'er blinked her big eyes and looked fit. There were faint smile lines at the corners of her mouth, making the pear dimples on her cheeks even more adorable.
"No, I'll just apply it with hot water when I go home." Yi Yi refused quietly.
"Do you know that your face is swollen like a pig's trotters now? If you go out like this, it will only affect the appearance of the city. Just take it and don't be so pretentious!" Dongfang Xin's eyebrows showed a hint of displeasure as he spoke.
The voice sounded like gritted teeth: "Hurry up!"
"Don't be sarcastic at me, you're not much better yourself!" Although Shi Yi was angry with him, he still took the bag, then took out a bottle of anti-swelling potion and threw it at him: "It affects the appearance of the city.
It’s you, you dare to talk about me here!”
After saying that, he took another bottle of anti-swelling potion, unscrewed the bottle and applied it to the face hit by the robber.
Seeing this, Dongfang Xin raised the corner of his mouth slightly and applied medicine to himself.
Xiao Cao'er's eyes kept moving, looking back and forth between the two of them. Soon, she determined one thing: the atmosphere between them... was so weird!
——————
After the car drove into the manor, Dongfang Xin's eyebrows raised slightly.
The manor is quite large. Although it is only located in the suburbs, it covers a large area and the design of the entire manor is very elegant. People who can afford to live in such a manor must be worth a lot. There is no mention of Chen in the information he obtained.
Shi Yi is so rich. If she is really that capable, then why didn't she just use the money to turn over to Zhongtian Media?
"Uncle, don't be in a daze." Before Xiao Cao'er got off the car, he saw Dongfang Xin's brows furrowed slightly and seemed to be lost in thought, so he quickly reminded: "We're here, get off the car!"
"Chen Shiyi!" Seeing that Xiao Cao'er had already pushed the car door open, Dongfang Xin immediately leaned forward and blocked Shiyi from pulling the door. He stared at her with a pair of sharp eyes: "What kind of person are you?"
"Didn't you ask someone to investigate my affairs?" Shi Yi turned his face and glanced at him lukewarmly: "If you can't find out by yourself, it only proves that you are incompetent, and I won't.
I told you."
After saying that, she pushed his hand away and got out of the car first.
Dongfang Xin was a little dissatisfied with her arrogance, but after all, this was not his territory, and she really didn't have to explain it to him, so she gritted her teeth, endured her anger, and got out of the car.
Xiao Cao'er stood aside and waved to him with a smile, leading him into the house.
There were a few Kaos and servants around who looked at him from a distance, with a look of surprise in their eyes. However, they seemed to be quite well-trained. When they saw his glance, they bowed and nodded to him.
, very polite.
After Shi Yi and Xiao Cao'er entered the living room, Dongfang Xin raised his eyebrows as he looked at the simple yet elegant interior decoration.
After they sat down, a servant brought tea. Xiao Cao'er greeted him warmly: "Uncle, you drink tea first. It's suitable for cooking and it's delicious. Usually when guests come, she will cook it herself."
. You are lucky today, she can cook by herself again, and thanks to your blessing, I can enjoy a delicious lunch."
"If you invite me to be your guest, is it actually for the sake of your own stomach?" Dongfang Xin glanced at her sideways, with a smile on his lips: "You are naughty!"
"If you don't take care of yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth!" Xiao Cao'er said with a righteous look on his face: "I can't treat myself badly... What's more, if you look at this matter from another angle, it's called killing two birds with one stone!"
Unexpectedly, she responded so smartly. Dongfang Xin looked slightly sideways: "Little girl, you are so smart!"
"Learned from Shi Yi." Xiao Cao'er only glanced at Shi Yi and said, "Oh, I'll go to the kitchen to get some ice packs to put on your faces. Please sit down. Su Yi, you can entertain your uncle, he is your friend anyway.
"
After saying that, he ran away without waiting for a proper reaction. He even led a group of servants away with him.
Soon the two of them were the only ones left in the living room. Su Yi was stroking her forehead with a headache, with a look of annoyance on her face. Although she had long thought about the scene where they would meet one day, it was definitely not now. She began
I somewhat regret my decision to return to Rome rashly without taking precautions that Dongfang Xin would follow.
If you think about it more deeply, it's all Louis's fault!
"Why do you look so sad? Do you think I'm so unhappy just because I'm here as a guest?" Seeing the suitable expression, Dongfang Xinxin became unhappy. Seeing that the redness and swelling on her face had faded a little, he
He snorted coldly: "Xiao Cao'er knows how to treat guests, but you are far behind. I really don't know how such a smart little girl could have a mother-daughter relationship with you. Are you not related by blood at all?
"
"Shut up!" Shi Yi glanced at him indifferently: "Of course Xiao Cao'er and I are related by blood... Crazy, why should I tell you this? You don't need to worry about our affairs, you're fine
Just stay here quietly and don't disturb me. As for what Xiao Cao'er said about cooking for yourself... don't even think about it, I will never cook for you!"
"I don't want to eat the food you cooked yet! Who knows if Xiao Cao'er is giving you face to say that your cooking is delicious?" Dongfang Xin sneered: "Maybe after eating the food you cooked, my stomach will be upset.
It’s broken—”
"Dongfang Xin, stop looking down on others!"
"Facts speak louder than words!"
"You haven't even eaten the food I made, how do you know the truth?"
"Then just cook it for me to eat!"
"You..." Hearing his words, he was about to retort, but suddenly he realized something and couldn't help but slightly squinted his eyelids: "Oh, do you want to use provocation to stimulate me to cook? You're dreaming
Come on, I won’t be fooled by you!”
"Why don't you say you don't dare to show off your poor cooking skills?"
"Just continue to be aggressive, I will absolutely and absolutely insist not to cook for you!"
Seeing how stubborn she was, Dongfang Xin grinned: "What a stubborn ass!"
Is she really that stubborn? Why does everyone always think of her like this?
When Shi Yi was about to retort, he saw that Xiao Cao'er had already led the servant over. She brought ice packs to them. She asked the servant to get one for Dongfang Xin, then picked up the other one and walked to Shi Yi.
Help her apply ice to the red and swollen parts of her face: "Shi Yi, you and your uncle really have the same problem! Isn't this what you call sharing blessings and sharing hardships?"
"Of course not, this is purely an accident!" Shi Yi said quickly: "Xiao Cao'er, don't think too much!"
"Then it must be because your uncle did something sorry for you that you hit him, right?" The little girl blinked her eyes, stared at Shiyi and said with a smile, "Can you reveal some details to me?"
"Tell me who you are!" Shi Yi reached out and poked her forehead: "I just have an ordinary cooperative relationship with him. Apart from that, there is nothing else!"
Her voice was firm and powerful, as if she was expressing her innermost words. But Dongfang Xin frowned when he heard it. He was about to taunt her a few words, but he heard Xiao Cao'er already sighing in a low voice: "But it's suitable for you not to
Do you want to teach me, 'Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you'? What you are doing now is wrong..."
"You girl, are you eating the inside out?" Shi Yi lowered his face and gently tugged Xiao Cao'er's ears: "What benefits has he given you?"
"Oh!" Xiao Cao'er quickly held Sui Yi's hand: "In my heart, no one can be as close as you. So, no matter right or wrong, I will stand by your side, okay? Sui Yi, don't be angry."
Seeing the look of her well-trained dog legs, Shi Yi couldn't help but smile and let her go.
Xiao Cao'er rolled his eyes and reached out to gently support Sui Yi's shoulders: "Sui Yi, aren't you going back to Wencheng tomorrow? Let's do this. Can you cook me a delicious meal today? I've been waiting for a long time.
I have never tasted your craftsmanship..."
"Why haven't you asked me to cook for you before?" Shi Yi looked at her warily: "What do you want to do?"
"It's suitable, just go...don't you want to make up for the debt you have owed me these days?"
Listening to her say these words that only adults can say, Yi Yi felt a splitting headache. Shouldn't she have educated her to be so smart and cunning since she was a child? Now, she is here to deal with her!
In the end, Shiyi couldn't resist Xiao Cao'er's pitiful begging and resigned to his fate and went to the kitchen.
Watching her leave, Dongfang Xin's eyes narrowed, and his gaze fell on the little girl's delicate face: "If you put it aside, do you have something to say to me?"
"You are so smart!" A serious look appeared on Xiaocao'er's petite face, instantly losing her original childishness. Her eyes sparkled, and she looked back and forth along the man's face for a moment before speaking softly.
: "Uncle, are you interested in Suiyi?"
"Oh?" Dongfang Xin raised his thick eyebrows and only uttered a single syllable.
"I don't care what you think about Sui Yi, but if you really like her, please treat her well!" Xiao Cao'er turned her face away and looked out along the floor-to-ceiling window sill not far away, her eyes far away.
: "You may not think she is so strong, but she has always had a hard time."
A carefree woman like her actually hides so many secrets deep in her heart?
Also, how come the little girl with whom she has a so-called mother-daughter relationship in front of her looks like a little adult? What have they experienced to become like this?
*
When the food was put on the table, Louis happened to come back. When he saw Dongfang Xin, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and a strong interest flashed in his eyes: "Isn't this President Dongfang?"
"Mr. Louis!" Dongfang Xin said with an indifferent expression, "We meet again."
"Welcome to my manor as a guest!" Louis smiled lightly.
Dongfang Xin's thick eyebrows furrowed without trace.
It turns out that this manor actually belongs to Louis. So, why did Chen Shiyi and Xiao Cao'er live here? Are they living under someone else's roof? Or does Chen Shiyi have some shady relationship with Louis?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance along Sui Yi's face. The latter turned a blind eye and only ordered the servant to prepare a pair of dishes and chopsticks for Louis: "Louis, I will cook today, sit down and eat!"
"Okay!" Louis walked over, bent down and kissed her gently on the forehead. Seeing that Suiyi rolled his eyes at him when he blocked Dongfang Xin's sight, he reached out and pinched her cheek gently, and sat next to her.
Next, he looked at Dongfang Xin and said: "It is said that if a woman wants to capture a man's heart, she must first capture his stomach. Just like this, I firmly grasped my stomach."
"You guys..." Dongfang Xin pondered for a moment: "What is our relationship?" Please tell him what our relationship is."
"It doesn't matter." Su Yi's voice was cold and unusual.
Xiao Cao'er's eyes wandered back and forth between them, and suddenly interjected: "Uncle, actually I like Louis very much and always hope that he can be with Suiyi. It is also because of this that Suiyi took me to live here.
of."
Her implication was that Chen Shiyi didn't want to live here because of himself, but because Xiao Cao'er liked Louis?
But since she liked Louis, why didn't she directly match them up, and now she said these things to him?
Dongfang Xin found that for the first time in his life, he could not figure out the thoughts of a little girl.
He didn't taste this meal.
*
After dinner, Xiaocaoer asked Louis to go for a walk with her. It was a good time to watch them leave, so she wrote coldly to Dongfang: "I will return to Wencheng tomorrow and I still have things to pack, so I won't send them to you."
She is giving an eviction order!
Dongfang Xin frowned and watched her turn around to go upstairs. He suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm, spinning her straight into his arms. His brows were cold and he stared at the woman faintly: "Chen Shiyi, you are like this
Do you want to play a hard-to-get game with me? If so, I will be happy to accompany you!"
