Rebirth of Xia Ze

Because of some kind of unspeakable guilt, Xia Zhicheng acquiesced in Xia Ze's putting away "The Picture of Lushan Mountain under the Moon".

Xia Ze didn't leave the painting at home, but went to the bank to open a safe the next morning.His behavior made Xia Zhicheng completely ashamed. The whole family was silent all morning, and even Xia Kai didn't dare to come forward because of Xia Zhicheng's cold face.

Xia Zhicheng suppressed his anger and went out, telling the driver that he would go back to the old house.Although Chi Shouzheng didn't say anything yesterday, Xia Zhicheng was not stupid.What Chi Yiheng can think of, he can also think of.Even he didn't find out that the painting he took away from the old house was a fake.It can be said that without some serious painting skills, it is impossible to copy so vividly.Counting the entire Xia family, the only ones who could come into contact with this painting and copy it so that it was almost fake, except Grandma Xia, was Shen Jiashi. Grandma Xia would not do this kind of thing, who else would it be if it wasn't Shen Jiashi?Xia Zhicheng had a sullen face, wondering why Shen Jiashi would cooperate with his second child to do such a thing?The Xia family raised him not to make him a thief.And that painting?Xia Zhicheng felt ashamed and angry when he thought of Xia Ze's reaction like a thief in the morning.Without this landscape painting, he had to prepare another gift for Wang Xiuwu.It will be Wang Xiuwu's birthday soon, and the time will be running out.

Xia Zhicheng closed his eyes distractedly, feeling that everything seemed to be going wrong recently.Xia Yuan insists on taking Xia Ze abroad, and has already contacted foreign schools.Tian Xiaojing was irritated, and was annoyed every day that he wanted to recognize Xia Yuan back. Is she crazy?If not... Xia Zhicheng didn't think about it any further.

Inside the Xia family's old house, Xia Zhijie was spinning around in a disturbed state.When he received Xia Zhicheng's call in the morning, he knew something had happened.What's even more exasperating is that the little bastard Xia Ze doesn't answer a single call, even if he wants to talk.

Xia Zhijie thought irritably, how much did Xia Zhicheng know?The thing about him stealing the real one?Or is it something about him outside?If Xia Zhicheng asked, what should he say?What about Shen Jiashi?Xia Zhijie stopped immediately when a thought flashed across his mind. Even if he insisted that he didn't know about it, the fourth child would definitely not believe it.Instead of doing this, why not simply admit his mistake?

Xia Zhijie thought about it for a long time and couldn't come up with a plan. Grandma Xia, who had finished her morning practice, heard the news of his arrival and came to find him.As soon as we met, Grandma Xia reprimanded me; "Look at you, are you flustered? Something happened at home?"

Xia Zhijie thought to himself that this was much more serious than what happened at home.He didn't dare to mention this matter to Grandma Xia, without him, Shen Jiashi was involved.How Grandma Xia treats Shen Jiashi, the whole Xia family can see clearly.The matter of him stealing the painting can be big or small, but if Shen Jiashi is exposed, Grandma Xia will be in trouble if she is stimulated and has an accident.What's more, Shen Jiashi has many things in his hands, just like Shen Jiashi said that the other party is not afraid of wearing shoes with bare feet, the two of them have a little affection after all, and he is not willing to ruin Shen Jiashi.

"It's nothing, it's about the Chengxi project that I talked about last time. I made an appointment with the fourth brother later, thinking about how to mention it to the fourth child." Xia Zhijie said casually.

Grandma Xia was suspicious, "Didn't Zhicheng agree last time? What are you talking about?"

Xia Zhijie was impatient and had no choice but to coax Grandma Xia, "Just say it's nothing serious, just a few words between me and the fourth child will be fine."

After spending a long time coaxing Grandma Xia away, Xia Zhijie only felt more and more irritable in his heart.The old lady still has to take care of everything when she is old, so it's no wonder that everyone hides in the old house and no one wants to come back.

When Xia Zhicheng came over, Xia Zhijie was the only one left in the living room.When the two brothers met each other, Xia Zhicheng looked ugly, Xia Zhijie felt guilty, and forced a smile at Xia Zhicheng.

Xia Zhicheng said directly with a cold face, "What's the matter with that painting?"

Xia Zhijie was not wary of Xia Zhicheng's straightforwardness as soon as he arrived, and he hesitated immediately. "Fourth...here, look..."

His ambiguity made Xia Zhicheng feel even more angry.The Chi family came to the door, the disdain in the words, Xia Ze's clear eyes, these things made him unable to hold back the expression on his face anymore.He scolded Xia Zhijie furiously, "What's the matter with those things, second brother, don't you know? They were left to Xia Ze by my father.

It was the first time that Xia Zhijie was pointed at his nose and scolded like this, especially when Xia Zhicheng vaguely alluded to him plotting against Xia Ze.He held back his breath and did not speak, his face flushed for a moment.

Xia Zhicheng didn't care about Xia Zhijie's expression, as long as he thought of Chi's father's reaction last night, he felt the fire in his heart go out, and he shouted angrily.

"It belongs to the Chi family, it belongs to Xia Ze. Second brother, you don't even mention it, and you plan on your nephew's stuff. Have you thought about the reaction of the Chi family after being seen by the Chi family?"

Xia Zhicheng's words embarrassed Xia Zhijie. The fact is one thing, but it's another to make it clear.He couldn't stay silent any longer, so he couldn't help but reply, "You know it's Xia Ze's, fourth child. Did you give it away and tell Xia Ze? Does Xia Ze know? Have you thought about the Chi family's reaction?" ?"

These words of his hit Xia Zhicheng's most embarrassing place.Xia Zhicheng trembled with anger, and said a word for a long time. "Xia Ze is my son, and I am his father, so I can't use his things?"

Now that he said this, Xia Zhijie sneered.

"That painting belongs to the Chi family, and I was wrong for taking it. But what about the other things? There are things passed down from the Xia family's ancestors in it, so why give it to Xia Ze? Have all the other members of the Xia family died? ? Why do you have nothing, all of which belong to Xia Ze? Fourth brother, tell me? Tell me!"

Xia Zhijie had wanted to say these words for a long time.Ever since his father said before his death that he wanted to leave all the family calligraphy and paintings to Xia Ze, he wanted to ask why?Isn't his surname Xia?Isn't the boss' surname Xia?Or are Xia Simin and Xia Sihui not named Xia?

"Xia Ze doesn't understand how valuable those things are, don't you understand the fourth child? That is the foundation of the Xia family's foothold in Haicheng, and it is the root passed down from generation to generation. The old man said to leave it to Xia Ze, Xia Ze Ze is a three-year-old kid who doesn’t understand and refuses, but how about you, the fourth? Just lick your face and pass the two brothers to follow? Even if the old man is confused, Xia Zhicheng, you are also confused?”

Xia Zhijie spoke louder and louder, "Aren't you tempted by the fourth child? Forgot about the two older brothers, and want to eat those things all by yourself?"

"Oh, I almost forgot." Xia Zhicheng snorted, "The old man left it to Xia Ze, not you. If you want to take it all by yourself, you have to ask Xia Ze if you want it? I'm counting on my nephew's things." It doesn't sound good, but it sounds good if you calculate your own son's things? It's just half a catty, so don't laugh at anyone!"

"Why are you arguing!" Grandma Xia was attracted by the quarrel between the two, and interrupted their words with a sullen face. "The two of you will be a hundred years old together, and you are still arguing like children. What? Are you going to roll up your sleeves and fight?"

Grandma Xia's appearance calmed down both Xia Zhicheng and Xia Zhijie.Grandma Xia snorted and sat at the top, glanced at the two of them, and said coldly: "Tell me, what's going on?"

Xia Zhicheng kept his face sullen and refused to speak, Xia Zhijie sneered, "The fourth child suspects that I am planning on Xia Ze's things, saying that they belong to the Chi family and are left to Xia Ze by my father, so let me not make up my mind."

Before Grandma Xia came, she had vaguely heard the quarrel around those calligraphy and paintings.At the moment, he said in a slow tone: "What Chi family's? The Chi family didn't want it when it was the disaster decades ago, but now it's valuable, and it has become the Chi family's again? There is no Chi family's stuff, only Xia's stuff. Those things Your father's division was really unfair, so let's keep it with me first, and let's talk about it when Xia Ze is older."

When Grandma Xia said this, Xia Zhijie's eyes lit up.Xia Zhicheng was dissatisfied, suppressed his anger and snorted coldly: "How many years? After a few years, it's hard to say how many authentic works will be left in those things."

"Zhicheng, what do you mean?" Grandma Xia heard Xia Zhicheng's allusion, and looked at Xia Zhijie faintly.

Xia Zhijie cursed inwardly. On the one hand, his venting just now was due to years of resentment in his heart, and on the other hand, he wanted to bring the past to the past.Unexpectedly, Xia Zhicheng turned it out.

Xia Zhicheng said with a gloomy face, "The "Moonlight on Lushan Mountain" I took away a few days ago is a fake, and the real one was replaced by the second brother in collusion with the thieves."

Grandma Xia's expression changed drastically, "Zhijie?"

Xia Zhijie avoided Grandma Xia's sight with a guilty conscience.

Grandma Xia suddenly felt so angry that her whole body was shaking and she couldn't stand up.It's self-evident who the thief is, "Jiashi..." Before she finished speaking, Grandma Xia's eyes were darkened, and she fell towards the side of the chair.

"Mother!"

The expressions of Xia Zhicheng and the two brothers changed drastically at the same time, and they moved towards Grandma Xia to help her.

When Grandma Xia fainted, Xia Ze had just come out of the bank. The authentic work of "Mount Lushan under the Moon" was placed in the bank by him, and he planned to find a suitable opportunity to give it to his uncle.According to my uncle, the Chi family left a lot of things in the old house, so it's best to find a way to get them all back.

Xia Ze stood on the side of the road and reached out to stop the car, ready to go to Chi's house to make up lessons.He flipped through his phone boredly, and it was full of missed calls from his second uncle.Presumably, the second uncle had already guessed the incident, but he didn't know the specific situation, so he chased him like this to want to know something.Xia Ze didn't answer the phone on purpose, he didn't think the second uncle was innocent in this matter.Like his father, he didn't believe that the second uncle didn't know that these things belonged to the Chi family.I just don't know what my father and second uncle will say?Xia Ze was thinking wildly when old A called.

Since the last time I handed over the investigation materials to Old A, Xia Ze often received calls from Old A.It's a pity that every time the old A made a routine report, there was basically no progress in the investigation.Xia Ze thought this was just a routine report, so he casually picked up the phone while stopping the car.

"Hey."

"I found Han Ling." Old A threw a big bomb at Xia Ze as soon as he came up.

Xia Ze froze there for a moment.The words Han Ling had a great impact on him, and he immediately realized, "Where are you? I'll go find you."

Old A reported an address, which was the place where he met Xia Ze last time.Xia Ze didn't care about going to Chi's house anymore, so he stopped a car and turned to this address.Along the way, Old A talked about how he found out about Han Ling. Simply put, it was man-to-man.At first, only Xia Zhicheng and Xia Yuan were the only ones under Old A's network, but after a few days of staring, they found nothing.Old A simply expanded the scope and started to stare at the people around them.A few days later, Old A discovered that Xia Yuan's mother, Liu Jia, was arguing with a middle-aged woman, and Xia Yuan's name was mentioned in the conversation.Following this clue, Old A searched all the way, and soon found out that the middle-aged woman who was arguing was Han Ling.

Half an hour later, Xia Ze appeared in front of Old A.

Excitedly, old A took photos of these days and put them in front of Xia Ze, pointing to a woman on it for Xia Ze to see. "Here, she is Han Ling."

Xia Ze stared at the woman in the photo, but he thought of another name, "Tian Xiaojing."

"They are alone!"

Old K curled up lazily on the sofa, fiddling with his plastered arm, and said to his mobile phone, "Did you see it?"

On the other side of the phone, Chi Yiheng browsed the information sent by old K page by page, his face sinking like water.

Old K tutted: "Do you know how much effort I have wasted? I never thought that the two people you asked to investigate were the same person. This woman's information has been tampered with. If I hadn't acted in person, relying on that idiot old A , I don’t know if I want to find out, I don’t know that it will be a year of the monkey.”

Chi Yiheng flipped through the information, and it showed that Han Ling's original name was Tian Xiaojing, who was a student of Haicheng University more than 20 years ago, and happened to be Xia Zhicheng's classmate.Old K specifically marked that Han Ling and Xia Zhicheng had a mediocre relationship when they were in school, and there was no close relationship on the surface, but according to investigations, the two had a close relationship in private.When she was about to graduate, Han Ling dropped out of school suddenly, and there was no news after that.Half a year later, Han Ling reappeared in Haicheng, unmarried, pregnant, and had contact with the Xia family.She disappeared again shortly after, reappearing nine years later.At this time, she has changed from Tian Xiaojing to Han Ling, and all the previous information has been revised.After this time, Han Ling completely settled in Haicheng until now.

Chi Yiheng closed the file, and several time points flashed through his mind.When Han Ling dropped out of school, it was the beginning of Xia Zhicheng's pursuit of Chi Xinyun.Half a year later, Han Ling appeared in Haicheng, and Chi Xia's family was preparing to marry.Han Ling reappeared after nine years, and her aunt Chi Xinyun passed away.Chi Yiheng pondered, the question now is, where did Han Ling's child go?

Regarding this question, old K said, "It still takes a little time."

Chi Yiheng: "..."

After hanging up the phone, Chi Yiheng looked at the information at hand, trying to find a suitable time to tell Xia Ze about it.Tian Xiaojing and Han Ling are the same person, who is her son?

Thinking about this, Chi Yiheng glanced at the time inadvertently, only to find that it was almost noon, and Xia Ze hadn't come over yet, nor had he called.What happened?Chi Yiheng was startled, and immediately started calling Xia Ze's cell phone.

Ten seconds later, Xia Ze answered the phone. "cousin."

"Where are you?" Chi Yiheng asked quickly.

"Old A is here, he found out who Han Ling is."

Xia Ze's voice sounded very depressed, obviously he was not in a good mood.Chi Yiheng got up quickly, "Wait for me there, I'll go find you."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Ze silently stared at the photo in front of him. Old A patted him sympathetically, and comforted him clumsily: "You see, this is all in the past, and your mother passed away too. Anyway, she is a stepmother now. You don't need to be angry even if your father cheated on you."

Xia Ze didn't speak, his father's cheating was already expected, what he couldn't face was another matter.The moment he knew that Han Ling and Tian Xiaojing were the same person, many things that he couldn't understand before were all explained at once, a fact that he was least willing to face.

Xia Yuan is Han Ling's son, his father's illegitimate son.

His father's preference for Xia Yuan all the time, their last quarrel in the last life, Xia Yuan's distrust of him, his nervousness about the name Han Ling, Xia Yuan's gaffe at grandma's birthday banquet, all these things are strung together and point to this fact.

Xia Ze sat there silently, repeatedly recalling what Xia Yuan said to him on that rainy night.I don't know how long it took, he came back to his senses, looked at old A, "You help me investigate again..."

"Xia Ze." Chi Yiheng pushed open the door and strode in.

Xia Ze's words were interrupted, he looked up at Chi Yiheng, and said with a sleepy expression: "Old A has found out, Han Ling and Tian Xiaojing are the same person."

Chi Yiheng already knew the news, and he was more concerned about Xia Ze. "Are you OK?"

Chi Yiheng pinched Xia Ze's shoulder and looked up and down. Xia Ze shook his head and pushed the information on the table to him.Chi Yiheng breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Xia Ze is fine.Although he had already read old K's investigation materials, he still read it according to Xia Ze's intention.Although old A's investigation information is not as complete as old K's, the recent daily follow-up of Han Ling is obviously more detailed.He read it page by page, and when he saw Xia Yuan's name several times, his heart sank, and the absurd thought he had before came to mind again.

Xia Ze's abnormality seems to have found the reason, Chi Yiheng said in a deep voice, "Xia Yuan?"

Xia Ze knew what Chi Yiheng was asking, nodded and said in a low voice, "It's him."

Chi Yiheng frowned, and hugged Xia Ze distressedly.

Xia Ze didn't push Chi Yiheng away this time, and said in a low voice, "I want to check one more thing."

"what?"

Xia Ze lowered his eyes and said seriously: "The reason why my mother died that year."

Chi Yiheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and his vision became sharper. "good!"
