The Cage Of The Past - Chapter 50

Chao heard the voice of Rouzhen and feel deserted. His stubborn lips curved and Xiaoxi had the same expression.

Rouzhen glared at them, damn, even the expression was the same, so stubbornly glaring at her, as if she became a sinner.

No one understands the meaning of his action. It is just a surprise to hear his sudden instruction. Is this project was ordered by him? How come he changed suddenly without giving any valid reason. It hasn’t yet started to discuss the whole plan when he suddenly told everyone to stop it.

What’s going on? Everyone got shocked.

“Rouzhen, you scared the child like this!” Once again Zion speak. The child stubborn eyes stared at Rouzhen thoroughly, seemingly hurt by his words.

“Everyone get out of this room! Only the secretary Chen will stay!” Rouzhen said coldly.

Everyone quickly leaves the room, no one dares to ask. Zion once left a sigh, pulled a long face, and feeling bad for the little boy.

Leaving the room with confusion, everyone keeps silent, there seems to be a big problem that will cause a wave of rain and wind at any moment. Zion doesn’t know what happened but he sees Rouzhen angry face.

Xiaoxi was stunned, she can’t figure out why Rouzhen got mad like a crazy dog. She doesn’t want to see her little boy upset. He said that the meeting was canceled and the development was canceled too. What about the child’s self-esteem? She can’t let her son be rejected like this.

“Brother Zion, let me trouble you for a while, please bring Chao out this room, I have something to say to our boss!”

Rouzhen snorted and the taunting of his mouth was thicker.

She’s begging Zion’s cooperation this time. She was eager to talk to this arrogant boss before leaving this company!

“Chao, go out with uncle first, Mommy has something to say to the CEO!”

“Don’t beg Mom! Not with this arrogant beast! Mommy, let’s go home!” Chao shook his head and hold Xiaoxi’s hand.

Rouzhen was shocked by hearing Chao’s word.

“Son, you go now! Mommy is fine. I have to talk to him before we leave here. Okay? You go now with uncle Zion, please?” Xiaoxi’s face eased down.

“Mommy!” Chao is worried about her while looking at Rouzhen cold face. His eyes intently looking at Rouzhen, don’t understand his sudden change of behavior and why he said to cancel this signed project.

Rouzhen’s thin lips clenched tightly, he was so mad and his handsome face showed mixed emotions. Chao waited for Rouzhen’s words to him but he doesn’t talk.

“Why did you get mad? Care to explain?” Chao began to sharpen his little voice direct to Rouzhen, he thought that this uncle is a good person, did not expect such a hegemony does make sense.

The sharp eyes of Chao’s inquiries have suddenly felt the strong eye of the oppressive attitude. The child is as strong and as cold like Rouzhen. He wasn’t afraid of him nor weakened his stand with the issue.

Rouzhen still does not speak. Looking at the young boy in the same expression.

“Mommy, let’s go, don’t talk to him!” Chao stood up, showed a disdainful manner, and his small hand took Xiaoxi’s hand and walked outside.

At this time, Xiaoxi knew that her son was angry, and she suddenly felt so sad. “Baby, don’t worry, Mommy is fine, Chao is obedient, you go out first with your uncle Zion, Mommy will come soon!”

” Zion, please take him out!” Rouzhen loud voice stormed. He finally opened his mouth and the tone of his voice was slightly dull, deep eyes had the same ridiculed reaction. Looking at Xiaoxi, he wants to hear what would be her explanation about this little boy.

“Mommy, I am waiting for you outside!” Finally, Chao followed her. His little head felt awkward and the childish face did not show weakness. He glared at Rouzhen before leaving the room.

Felt that the child suddenly raised his resistance to him, Rouzhen’s cold and stern face immediately become more serious, and had some feeling of distress. It’s inexplicable!

Only the two of them left at the conference room. Rouzhen stood up and grabbed Xiaoxi’s hand directly. He was strongly gripping her wrist that causes sore and Xiaoxi bit her thin lips.

Rouzhen stared at her.

It hurts! What is he doing? Xiaoxi’s thoughts run in panic. The CEO is holding her tightly. “Sir, do you think it is a pŀėȧsurė to play with a child’s feelings? You also have a child. How can you ignore the child’s self- respect? He is full of joy and thinks that this game will be released. You suddenly said to stop it without giving us a valid reason!”

“You tell me! Clarify everything!” Rouzhen’s roar locked her.

This little face is full of confusion and anger. Such a beautiful woman, hides so many secrets, her outer beauty enchants him and make his heart beats faster and let him believe the meaning of family and love, but why she’s hurting him badly.

Her dazzling beauty, draw thousands of pain and showed a very angry expression towards Rouzhen. She doesn’t understand his sudden bad behavior, and inconsiderate manner, hurting her little boy this way.

Rouzhen, can’t explain his bad reaction. He thought they could have a happy family with Han, but why she’s having another child? He is hiding the truth for five years only to find out her betrayal.

After waiting for a long time, she could not wait for him to speak.

Xiaoxi once again said: “Sir, since you’ve said that the project was canceled, I have nothing to say!”

Xiaoxi was blocked by his tall body. She lowered her head in fear. Rouzhen reached out and held her chin to hold it up. He gritted his teeth and asked. “Say! Tell me the truth. What happened?”

Xiaoxi squinted, and the innocent gaze gave him the idea of wanting to kiss her. He was bleeding inside. Why she had another child with another man.

“Say what?” she asked inexplicably and she couldn’t even figure out the situation between the two of them. She doesn’t understand what he is asking for.

“Who is that child?” Rouzhen snorted coldly. For such a beautiful woman, he had an angry feeling of madness.

“I don’t know!” Xiaoxi stunned, and the voice was a bit dull.

“Xiaoxi, you explain it to me clearly. Make me understand why these things happen?” Rouzhen frowned, biting his teeth and groaning.

He never expected that she had another son. Same almost age with their little Han. He had accepted her and planned everything for them, and let her be the hostess of GU family soon after he reveals the truth. He did not expect that she would be misbehaving after he took their child. Still don’t know who the child’s father, this damn woman had so many secrets, she created chaos out of his expectation.

“What obligation do I have to explain to you?” She sneered, really do not understand what he meant. “Sir, you are behaving differently, you’ve hurt my child. I am sure my child’s depression will be severe!”

He raised an eyebrow. Suddenly a little tired and frustrated.

“Secretary Chen, you are fired! Pack your things and leave GU Corp immediately, and your son’s game, I will not develop it, one million counted as a penalty for compensation!” He suddenly laughed but his heart full of pain, the smile didn’t reach the bottom of his eyes. He fixed his suit and turned to went out.

“You–” Xiaoxi embroidered her tiny fist. Clenched her hand on her side.

When he left, he wanted to return and take back what he said. Why did he suddenly feel so sad and worried when he fired her. He didn’t feel better doing it and he was so hurt.

Rouzhen went out at the door, the little figure was standing with Zion, so conspicuous, Rouzhen’s heart was inexplicably entangled, although he admitted that he was so angry for the first time, seeing this little boy caused his heart bleed even more. His irrational attitude made Chao, felt angry at him.

Xiaoxi also followed and went out. Her face looks tired, yet she decided to leave this company. When he walked to Chao, he was very gentle: “Son, let’s go home!”

“Mommy doesn’t be afraid, one day, I will create my own company. Chao will make this arrogant uncle regret what he had done to us. Let’s go home!” Chao dismissively glanced at Rouzhen, his face did not have the unpleasantness after being hit, but more than a touch of strong behavior.

Xiaoxi went straight to her working table, holding her son. She immediately packed up and left the company in the eyes of Zion and everyone puzzled, shocked and sympathetic.

Rouzhen had a bad mood and cold face. He slammed the door of his office and never came out again.

When Xiaoxi and Chao left, quickly Zion went to Rouzhen. He was stunned by the huge smoked inside his office. It seems Rouzhen smoked several times today, “Rou Rou, why do you hide here and smoke too much. This is not good for your health!”

The deep shackles of Rouzhen are unbearable, the sharp outlines of his face are hidden in the smoke coming out from his cigarette. He looks so lonely and his mind flew far away.

There is no change in his look, spit out two words, “Go out!”

“Hey!” Zion wanted to talk to him. Hearing these two words seem to come from hell, so cold, so lonely, once separated from a true Rouzhen. He had seen him like this before the moment her ex-lover Jingfei left him. “What happened?”

“Leave, go out!” Rouzhen said again.

“Okay!” Zion left him in silence.

Xiaoxi lost her job and her son’s game was not released. Instead of thinking bad, she felt a lot better and sent her son back to school. She came back home alone.

As soon as she stepped out from the bus, she saw the car had quickly opened and stopped at the alley near her. The door opened and she saw Zion Ni.

“Xiaoxi!” once shouted and ran quickly. “Are you okay?” he asked

Although he doesn’t know what happened, he had felt pressure on it, after Rouzhen declined the game development. He is concerned after Xiaoxi has been fired suddenly.

“Bother Zion, I am fine!” Xiaoxi shows a warm smile, a vibrant opening and no helpless dismissal at all. She had adapted to this cruel society, work lost, she can still find a new one, during her college days she’s been doing several part-time jobs while taking care of Chao, she’d overcome the struggles after she graduated. Now she’s confident enough to get a new job better than her work in GU Corp. “Why you’re here, brother Zion?”

“Are you okay?” Looking at Xiaoxi, Zion felt pity for her. He was puzzled and his eyes glanced at her pale face, he saw her strong personality, yet the more she looks like Zion thinks she only becomes more distressed.

“I’m good!” Xiaoxi sincerely opened her mouth: “Brother Zion, thank you for taking care of me as your subordinate, entering GU Corp and knowing you, I feel very honored.”

Xiaoxi’s heart feels warm. For many years, except Chaoxing, she has never bothered anyone else and no one has ever said anything to care about them. She felt grateful looking at this man in front of her that was so concern to them, her heart was touched with his gesture. “Thank you, Big brother Zion!”

Zion looks at her with some worry. “Don’t be polite to me, we are friends!”

He said it carefully and his heart secretly admired the strength of Xiaoxi. This girl has perseverance and good quality. Even her child is the same, he feels distressed looking at her.

Gu Family’s mansion.

“You promised to go to a blind date, I am waiting for the time you do it!” Lui Gu has been very impatient. After waiting for so long, he forces Rouzhen to go for a blind date. The GU family should have a mistress.

Rouzhen tired today yet this old fox pushed him again. “Well, you should arrange it for me!” he said.

“Rouzhen, would you promised to cooperate?” Lui Gu had some doubts. His son always opposed the blind date he had arranged before. He took so much initiative to pair him with the daughters of influential families to have an arranged marriage. How did he suddenly agree easily, right now? He somewhat opposed his decision and go against his well after driving away Jingfei in his son’s life.

“Isn’t this what you hope for?” Rouzhen mouth curved, it seems that he had decided to follow him, but his eyes are still deeply confusing.

“Well, this weekend, you will meet Miss Amy Woods of Woods Chemical Group, I will hold a party in our old house, how is it?”

“Quite!” Rouzhen stood up and walked out to the door. He chilled out himself trying to obey this old man after he was being frustrated with Xiaoxi. “Miss Amy knows I have a son?”

“Of course, I told her, since Han lives in the old house with me. She knows everything and agreed to marry you and have your children in the future. She’s a qualified candidate to be the mistress of GU family. You will surely like her!”

No longer said anything, Rouzhen Gu strolled and went out.

“Daddy!” Han screamed at the door of his room.

When he looked down at his son, Rouzhen suddenly feels the pain. He failed to bring Xiaoxi into his son’s life. Rouzhen pulled his lips and picked his son up. “Well, why haven’t you slept yet?”

“Dad, can I visit and see Aunt Xiaoxi this weekend?”

He was shocked and his body was stiff, Rouzhen tightened his arms and did not speak.

“Hey, dad can’t you allow me?” Han asked quietly but he wanted to see Xiaoxi. That aunt smiled sweetly and very beautiful. Give him a warm feelings of a mother.

“Han, I’m going to tell a story!” Rouzhen looked at the small face directly in his eyes, and did not have the heart to refuse, but did not agree either.

“Can’t we visit aunt? Don’t you like me to see her again?” Han asked again.

“Auntie had a business trip!” Rouzhen lied to his son and suddenly had some irritability and compiled a reason.

“Oh!” There was a deep disappointment in the tender voice from Han. “When did aunt come back home?”

“See what she does? She is not your Mommy!” Rouzhen was finally fed up and couldn’t help but scream.

For the very first time, his voice was loud while talking to his little boy. Han was scared upon hearing him. Looked at Rouzhen’s angry face, he saw his terrible face. The tears suddenly swirled in Han’s eyes and whispered: “I’m sorry if I made you upset, Daddy!”

Suddenly, Rouzhen regret of what he had said. Sighed deeply and endured the irritability and resisted his temper. “I didn’t mean it. Okay, I will send you to your room so you can sleep.”

He put down Han in his bed and didn’t speak anymore. He doesn’t know what to do.
