After a brief astonishment, Xia Jinting learned the whole story from the manager.

The cause was actually a youth league. I think this Mr. Gu is a very filial person.

Thinking of the word "filial piety", Xia Jinting, who was leaning on the rickshaw, felt a little headache.

As far as he knows, the original owner is a poor little cabbage that "father doesn't love, mother doesn't love". His father is addicted to gambling and ruined the family fortune, his mother died young, and all affairs of the family are controlled by his stepmother.

Because of his embarrassing situation at home, he had the miserable experience of being sold to the Jiang family as a cheap husband and wife.

Now that he has left Jiang Kuan in anger, the news will definitely reach Xia's family. I'm afraid there is still a storm waiting for him at home.

The rickshaw stopped in front of an old house, Xia Jinting looked at the house in front of him, and finally matched Xia's family with the "shabby settled household" written in the book.

The house is not small in size, but it looks dilapidated everywhere, with mottled and rusty iron gates, collapsed unrepaired courtyard walls, and fallen leaves in the courtyard that no one has cleaned.

Xia Jinting pulled the handle on the iron door, the door was not locked, and it opened with a push.

The concierge had been vacant for a long time, and the family couldn't afford the wages, so they dismissed all the hired servants, leaving only the personal servants who served the master's house.

The original owner of this desolate little cabbage tree has no servants to take care of him, and he has to rely on himself to do laundry and cleaning on weekdays, but it is better in summer, but in winter his hands are red from the cold, and he can only suffer from frostbite.

The sun has not yet set, but the lighting in the old house is not good, the inside is very dark, and there is a decaying smell.

Xia Jinting walked into the main hall, and saw a young woman sitting on the Eight Immortals Chair, wearing a high-necked gown with floral and leaf patterns, estimated to be in her early thirties, chasing her nails with a small file.

No need to ask, this must be the original owner's stepmother, Mrs. Chen.

Xia Jinting imitated the original owner's appearance, lowered his eyebrows and said respectfully: "Mother."

Chen Shi didn't answer, as if treating people like air, she just looked at her hands.

Is this setting rules for him?

Xia Jinting didn't want to play riddles with Mrs. Chen, and said in a deep voice: "If mother has nothing else to do, I'll go back to my room first."

Only then did Chen raise her head, a trace of surprise flashed across her eyes.

In the past Xia Jinting was like a wooden stake, he would never dare to go west if he was told to go east, what happened today.

She sneered and said: "You have grown up, you dare to offend even the young master of the Jiang family!"

Xia Jinting understood in his heart that he had received the letter, so he specially put the teacher here to question the crime.

"Mother Mingjian, I didn't intend to offend Young Master Jiang, but he was late." Xia Jinting took out the excuse he had already thought about.Today's him is no longer the clay figurine of the past who couldn't fight back when beaten or scolded.

"Hmph, so it's Young Master Jiang's fault?" Chen was very dissatisfied with Xia Jinting's attitude, and her tone became more and more rigid.

"Exactly." Xia Jinting raised his head without fear, and stared straight at Mrs. Chen, "Jiang Kuan made an appointment with me, but he didn't show up for so long. It's obviously contemptuous of me. Could it be that he is allowed to be slow?" Come late, don't allow me to tease and fight back?"

Mrs. Chen always thought that Xia Jinting was an idiot, and he couldn't get bored after being beaten three times.How often have I seen him so eloquent, and I was stunned for a while.

"You are presumptuous!" After thinking about it, Chen yelled in a sharp voice, "What are you, worthy of being compared with Jiang Shao?!"

At first, Mrs. Chen didn't realize it. She just felt that Xia Jinting's words didn't sound right. After a while, she realized that Xia Jinting had put herself on an equal footing with Jiang Kuan.

What to say, "Allow him to be late, and not allow me to tease and fight back." Chen smacked and almost laughed.

The young master of the Jiang family is a man in the clouds. As for Xia Jinting, who is half-sinked in the mud and cannot climb ashore in his life, what qualifications does he have to be compared with Jiang Kuan.

Mrs. Chen was about to scold Xia Jinting for wishful thinking, when a hoarse voice suddenly came from outside: "What are you doing? You are making a lot of noise."

Xia Jinting turned around and saw that he was a fat man in a blue shirt. He walked with his stomach full and picked his teeth while walking.

"Master, you're back. I'm really mad at you." Mrs. Chen clutched her chest, her brows slightly frowned, as if she was so angry that her chest hurt.

As soon as Xia Jinting heard this address, he knew the identity of the visitor.He looked at Master Xia's round belly, wondering if the original owner had been adopted.

After all, the original owner was not at all similar to his biological father in terms of appearance and figure.Of course, this does not prevent Xia Jinting from being good-looking in front of Master Xia.

"Father is well." Xia Jinting greeted first.

Master Xia looked at this, then at that, and said softly, "What's the matter? Come on, come on, talk slowly if you have something to say."

Chen said with tears in her voice: "Master, Mrs. Ma called and said that Xia Jinting has offended Young Master Jiang. The marriage we negotiated with great difficulty may be ruined."

Xia Jinting let Mrs. Chen cry, but turned his eyes to Master Xia who was sitting beside him.

Chen Shi is the original owner's stepmother, so naturally she would not wish him well, Xia Jinting had no hope for Chen Shi at all.But Master Xia is different, that is the original owner's biological father, perhaps, he will feel sorry for his son.

However, Master Xia's expression suddenly darkened after hearing Chen's words.He tapped the table again and again with his fat fingers, and when he spoke again, there was only indifference in his voice: "Jinting, what's going on?"

Xia Jinting closed his eyes, completely disappointed.The two couples only regard the original owner as a cash cow, and ask for anything from him.

"I didn't mean to offend Young Master Jiang, but I couldn't get angry because he neglected me so much, so I contradicted him." Xia Jinting had a correct attitude, sincere words, and what he said was reasonable.

Master Xia softened his tone, looked at his son who was standing at the bottom, and pondered: "Father knows that you have been wronged, so according to what you said, what should we do about this matter?"

"Retirement." Xia Jinting said lightly, but the listeners were confused.

"What?! This is impossible!" Mrs. Chen panicked in an instant, "If the engagement is divorced, the Jiang family's dowry..."

Halfway through speaking, Master Xia had sharp eyesight and quick hands, grabbed Chen's hand, and pressed it hard.

Chen felt that she had slipped her words, so she stopped.

"Jinting, the Jiang family has been running a silk and satin village for many years, and their family is well-off. Young Master Jiang grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth, so his temper will inevitably be arrogant, so you... just take it easy."

One of these couples has a bad face and the other sings a bad face, but they all mean the same thing - no divorce is allowed!

According to the nature of the original owner, he will definitely obey the orders of his parents and the words of the matchmaker.

But Xia Jinting didn't, he was like a bright mirror in his heart, since he took over the shell of the original owner, no one wanted him to be cannon fodder.

He raised his fair neck and said with a sneer, "What if I decide to divorce?!"

"How dare you!" Chen's eyes widened, he looked like a tigress who wanted to eat people.

"Of course I dare!" Xia Jinting refused to budge.

Chen Shi was taken aback by Xia Jinting's deadpan tone, she had never seen Xia Jinting like this before.

This cowardly eldest son seemed to be a different person overnight, and the Chen family couldn't understand him more and more.

"Jinting, is this the way you speak to your mother?" Seeing that Mrs. Chen suffered a disadvantage, Master Xia hurried to help.

If it is said that the Chen family is blatant and shameless, Master Xia wants to set up an archway even if he is a bitch.

He put on a face that was thinking of Xia Jinting, and sighed: "Jinting, father knows that you are not happy to let you marry, but our family really... has no money for you to marry a wife. This is the young master of the Jiang family. Long Yang, I will treat you well after marriage. Father also... wants you to live a prosperous life in the future. Now that the news of your engagement to the Jiang family has spread, no good family will dare to take your daughter I'm married to you, you are obedient, live a good life with Young Master Jiang..."

It has to be said that Master Xia's rank is much higher than Chen's.

It was also selling his son, but he sold it with sincerity, if Xia Jinting was easy to deceive, he might even help count the money if he was sold.

But by chance, Xia Jinting saw through Master Xia's hypocrisy at a glance, and he clenched his mouth tightly.

"Mom, I want to buy a suit. My classmates have it, but I don't." A loud voice disturbed the confrontation between the father and son.

From the corner of Xia Jinting's eyes, he saw a "round ball" speeding up all the way and rushing to Chen's side.

"Jinye, how old is he, how can he be so reckless?!" Master Xia frowned and looked at "Yuanqiu".

Seeing the little fat man carved out of the same mold as Master Xia, Xia Jinting pointed out: "Father, if this marriage is really so good, why not let it be to Jinye."

Xia Jinye is the son of Master Xia and the Chen family, and has been pampered and pampered since he was born.

Xia Jinting kept everything simple in terms of food and clothing, but Xia Jinye was big fish every day. Xia Jinting dropped out of school early, but Xia Jinye entered a Western-style school through his relationship. It can be said that Xia Jinye is the lifeblood of the Chen family.

Xia Jinting's words pierced Chen's heart. Chen grabbed his son with one hand and cursed loudly: "You are a murderer...he is your younger brother, and he will inherit the family business in the future."

"Oh? The Xia family still has a family business to inherit?" Xia Jinting laughed ironically.

Seeing that Xia Jinting refused to enter, Master Xia slammed the table and said, "You bastard, let me kneel in front of the ancestral tablet."

This is about to punish people, Xia Jinting clenched his fists, his heart became colder and colder.

"Master, madam, someone from the Jiang family is here." Chen's personal servant hurried into the hall to report.

Mr. Xia and Mrs. Chen looked at each other, and immediately put away their anger and put on a smiling face. The miraculous skill of changing faces is astonishing.

The person who came was holding a long gift box and said with a smile on his face: "Young Master Jiang said that today he was wrong and neglected Mr. Xia, and specially ordered me to send a set of Chinese clothes as an apology."

Master Xia and Mrs. Chen looked surprised, even Xia Jinting was also surprised.

Did Jiang Kuan break his brain?Hurrying to make an apology after being refuted?

Xia Jinting tried his best to recall the plot in the book, but he couldn't remember that there was an "apology".

Just as he was wondering, a member of the Jiang family took out another envelope from his pocket, and handed it to Xia Jinting with a smile: "My lord, Young Master Jiang will hold a reception in two days, so I invite you to attend on time."
