Rebirth of Xia Ze

Chapter 27 Follow-up

Grandma Xia's fainting was quickly notified to everyone in the Xia family by the housekeeper of the old house.

When Xia Ze received the call, he was eating out with Chi Yiheng.After leaving old A, Xia Ze was in a bad mood all the time, so Chi Yiheng simply gave Xia Ze a day off to adjust his mood.

"Grandma fainted?"

Xia Ze couldn't believe it, the strong image of Grandma Xia in his heart was unparalleled.Besides, in the previous life, Grandma Xia was always in good health and did not faint.But looking back, the world was different from what he remembered.For example, Wang Xiuwu, the Mayor of Haicheng in the previous life, stayed in Haicheng for ten years, and there was no rumor of any transfer during the process.If it wasn't for the fake painting, he still didn't know that his father's recent pursuit was for this.

"I see." Xia Ze hung up the phone.

"Grandma Xia is sick?" Chi Yiheng asked.

Xia Ze nodded, got up and said, "Cousin, I'll go back to the old house to have a look first, you can go and do it too."

Chi Yiheng grabbed Xia Ze, called the waiter to check out, and motioned, "I'll take you there." Although he didn't like Grandma Xia very much, it would be fine if he didn't know that Grandma Xia was sick. Now that he knew, he should go anyway Visit some.Besides, he was worried about Xia Ze going back alone.

Xia Ze didn't reject Chi Yiheng's kindness. His grandma was ill and Xia's family members would all rush back to the old house. He still didn't know what to say when he saw Xia Yuan.Chi Yiheng asked Xia Ze to get in the car and wait for him for a while, Xia Ze nodded.After a while, Chi Yiheng came out of the restaurant, got in the car and handed Xia Ze an exquisite lunch box, which was full of layers of small snacks pinched into the shape of rabbits.

"Aren't you full?" Chi Yiheng asked with a smile.

The depression in Xia Ze's stomach dissipated a lot when he saw these snacks, he bent the corner of his mouth, "Is it because my cousin is not full?"

Chi Yiheng laughed.

Xia Ze pinched a piece of dim sum and put it in his mouth. The dim sum was delicious, sweet but not greasy, and it melted in his mouth.He pinched another piece and passed it to Chi Yiheng. Unexpectedly, Chi Yiheng didn't take it with his hands, but directly lowered his head and bit it into his mouth.

Xia Ze didn't react at the time, and let go a little slower.Chi Yiheng's tongue brushed over Xia Ze's fingers, and he felt warm to the touch.There seemed to be an electric current rushing from the tailbone in the body, Chi Yiheng couldn't describe this feeling.While the heartbeat quickened in an instant, there was a faint restlessness in the body.Xia Ze didn't know anything about Chi Yiheng's reaction, he ate a piece by himself, and looked at Chi Yiheng with another piece of snack, "Cousin, do you want more?"

The dim sum is matcha-flavored and green in color.Xia Ze pinched the fat light green rabbit, his fingers became whiter and slender.Chi Yiheng looked away unnaturally, he cleared his throat, and said, "I won't eat, Xia Ze, you can eat."

Xia Ze didn't think much, and after a while, there was only one snack left.He didn't really feel hungry when he was eating before, but now he probably recovered from his emotions, and the feeling of hunger returned again.Xia Ze was serious about eating one bite at a time, and Chi Yiheng's eyes were always attracted by his white fingers intentionally or unintentionally.When Xia Ze picked up the last piece of snack, Chi Yiheng happened to look over.The two looked at each other, Xia Ze was stunned for a moment, "...cousin, do you want to eat?"

Chi Yiheng nodded in a strange way.Xia Ze quickly held the snack and handed it to his mouth. Unlike the unconsciousness last time, Chi Yiheng's heart jumped up.He suppressed the strange impulse in his heart, lowered his head and bit the snack, feeling the warmth on the tip of his tongue again.

In Wufu Hall, the angry Grandma Xia finally woke up.Xia Simin, who had been by her side the whole time, bent down in surprise and added softly, "Mother."

Hearing Xia Simin's cry, all the people in the room surrounded her one after another.Grandma Xia glanced over one by one, and when she saw Xia Zhijie, Xia Zhijie bit the bullet and called "Mother".

Grandma Xia's expression became ugly, and she remembered what happened before she fell into a coma. "Help me up." Grandma Xia gestured to Xia Simin who was beside her.

"The doctor asked you to lie down for a while." Xia Simin disagreed.

Grandma Xia stubbornly wanted to sit up, but Xia Simin had no choice but to carefully put a pillow on Grandma Xia's back, and helped her to sit up.While helping Grandma Xia adjust a comfortable position, Xia Simin asked, "What happened? The doctor said that you fainted out of panic. I asked my second brother and fourth brother and they refused to say anything." Xia Simin complained and glared at the two people mentioned.

Grandma Xia sat down with a sullen face, and said calmly: "Of course your second brother won't say that he is going to tear up the old house behind your back."

"Mother." Xia Zhijie was so irritable that he was anxious to explain that he did it just once, just once.

Grandma Xia lowered her eyes and did not look at him, and said, "Tell me about the specifics."

After Grandma Xia finished speaking, Xia Simin and Xia Zhifei looked at Xia Zhijie at the same time, except for Xia Zhicheng.Xia Zhijie knew that his mother was furious, and he would definitely not be able to get over this matter.But he didn't have the guts to tell the truth, he could only vaguely express that some time ago there was a problem with the business, he was short of money for a while, and when he was fascinated, he came up with the idea of ​​those calligraphy and paintings in the small study.He really didn't think about taking those things privately, he really just borrowed a painting as collateral for a few days.As soon as the money was loose, it was redeemed immediately.Who knew that just in time for Xia Zhicheng to take away the painting, they bumped into each other by accident.

After he finished speaking, Xia Zhifei and Xia Simin's expressions changed slightly at the same time.Xia Zhifei looked at Xia Zhicheng and then at Xia Zhijie, hesitatingly said: "Second brother, you can't do this right? Those things were left to Xia Ze by my father. It's so ugly to say something about your nephew as an uncle."

Xia Zhijie sneered in his heart, intending to say that everyone was the same, but seeing Grandma Xia's expression, he endured it.

Xia Simin gave him a gouged look, and said indifferently: "Second brother is very capable, we can't even touch those things, and second brother can exchange the original works. What do you say, fourth? It belongs to your son."

Xia Zhicheng remained silent with a cold face.

Xia Simin sneered, "I almost forgot, fourth brother, you are very capable, you can take those things as soon as you say, if you don't take fakes and come back to complain, I am afraid that my eldest brother and I will never know."

Xia Simin's attack was an indiscriminate attack. As Xia Zhijie said, he was not the only one who was dissatisfied with Mr. Xia's insistence on leaving things to Xia Ze.Xia Simin has always been uncomfortable in her heart, and no one has mentioned it in the past ten years, so she just said a few words in her heart.Now, taking advantage of Xia Zhijie's incident, she simply vented her dissatisfaction.

"Okay." Grandma Xia scolded Xia Simin with a dark face. "Your father's will will be discussed at some time, when the time comes..."

"Mother!" Xia Zhicheng interrupted Grandma Xia.

"Fourth, why did you interrupt your mother?" Xia Zhijie interjected.

"Yeah, what can't we hear?" Xia Simin said coolly.

Grandma Xia only felt that her temples were throbbing because of their noise, and she had a severe headache.Seeing that Grandma Xia's expression was wrong, everyone fell silent.Grandma Xia said with a cold face, "Let's talk about the will, second child, what's going on with Jiashi?"

Everyone present knew how Grandma Xia treated Shen Jiashi.Especially Xia Zhijie and Xia Zhicheng knew that Grandma Xia fainted because of Shen Jiashi.Xia Zhijie turned around in his mind, and quickly guessed what Grandma Xia was thinking, and immediately took all this matter on his head with earnest words.In his mouth, Shen Jiashi simply couldn't stand his soft and hard words, and he did this kind of thing in a moment of soft-heartedness.

Granny Xia's expression slowly softened.She watched Shen Jiashi grow up, and she thinks she can see clearly his character. He is definitely not the kind of white-eyed wolf who is sorry for the Xia family.After hearing what the second child said, that child was too soft-hearted and affectionate, and this matter could not be blamed on Jiashi.Grandma Xia secretly wanted to isolate Shen Jiashi from this matter. Firstly, Shen Jiashi had been in love with her for many years, and secondly, Shen Jiashi was the hope of the Shen family, so she must not be charged with such a crime.

By now, Xia Zhifei and Xia Simin also understood what was going on.Seeing that Grandma Xia was about to turn a major issue into a small one, Xia Simin was dissatisfied and said, "I'm soft-hearted for a while? Who knows if I'll be soft-hearted once and for a second or third time in the future? Besides, why isn't he soft-hearted towards me, but towards my second brother?" Have your heart softened?"

Xia Simin emphasized the pronunciation on soft-hearted, Xia Zhijie didn't know if Xia Simin knew something, and his expression became embarrassed.

"Xia Simin!" Grandma Xia scolded, then turned around and said, "Jiashi is a good boy, he..."

Grandma Xia's words were interrupted by the housekeeper's notification. Outside Wufutang, Xia Ze had a cold face, but Chi Yiheng's expression remained unchanged.The two walked across half of Haicheng, and came to see Grandma Xia as soon as they rushed back to the old house, but Xia Ze didn't expect to catch up with grandma and the others to discuss the follow-up of the fake painting incident.To avoid suspicion, Chi Yiheng was about to drag Xia Ze away when he heard Grandma Xia say that Shen Jiashi was a good boy and was going to let the matter go lightly.Before the two of them could listen any more, the housekeeper simply interrupted Grandma Xia's words.

The arrival of Xia Ze and Chi Yiheng obviously surprised everyone, everyone changed the topic one after another, and Grandma Xia asked about Father Chi's body politely.

Chi Yiheng felt relieved, and understood the Xia family's reaction.Just as his father was unwilling to participate in this matter, he didn't care about those things.They tried their best to remind them that how the Xia family wanted to deal with it was the Xia family's business.Chi Yiheng changed the subject cooperatively, as if he didn't hear anything outside.It's just that he thought so, but Xia Ze didn't want to let this matter go lightly.Xia Ze took the initiative to call his aunt, and curiously asked him just now when he heard his aunt say soft-hearted outside, what is soft-hearted?

As soon as Xia Ze's question came out, the whole room fell silent instantly.

Xia Simin looked at Xia Ze unnaturally, wondering how much he had heard outside.

It turned out that everyone in the room had the same idea as Xia Simin, but no one spoke for a while.

Xia Ze deliberately said: "Auntie is soft-hearted towards Shen Jiashi? But didn't the second uncle say that Shen Jiashi stole paintings from the old house?"

"Xia Ze!" Xia Zhicheng warned.

Xia Ze didn't take it seriously, "It's true. There are two things in this kind of thing. This time, the second uncle asked him to help. Who knows if other people have asked him to help before. Besides, since it is so convenient to exchange fakes for real ones , I wonder how much of grandma’s collection is authentic.”

Xia Ze's words made everyone's faces turn ugly.

He added casually, "Isn't the first thing to do when you come out of this kind of thing? Auntie doesn't care about this, but she can still be soft-hearted towards Shen Jiashi. It seems that the relationship between Auntie and Shen Jiashi is really true. good."

Xia Ze talked about one big aunt, and everyone could understand that he was called big aunt, alluding to Grandma Xia.Speaking of which, Xia Ze didn't care much about Shen Jiashi at first, he thought that after his father told his grandma about it, the family would pay attention, at least to check the authenticity of the rest of the collection first.Thinking that many of the things in it belonged to the Chi family, but it might be stolen by others, Xia Ze felt terrified.It's just that he didn't expect that Grandma Xia's first thought was to save Shen Jiashi.

Xia Ze's latent aggression made Grandma Xia tremble with anger, Xia Zhicheng thought for a while, and echoed Xia Ze's words.

"What Xia Ze said makes sense, it's better to check it out."

His words seemed to be the final conclusion, Xia Simin and the others looked at each other, but no one said anything more.

Grandma Xia was dissatisfied with this but had no choice but to drive everyone out of the room on the pretext of feeling unwell.

Chi Yiheng pulled Xia Ze away from the crowd, he had never seen this side of Xia Ze before. "Why are you so concerned about this matter?" Chi Yiheng asked gently.

Xia Ze talked about him from left to right, "Is there any? I just can't understand grandma's preference for Shen Jiashi, just mention a few words."

Chi Yiheng laughed, "Really?"

Xia Ze nodded heavily, trying to prove that what he said was the truth.

The way the two talked fell into the eyes of Xia Yuan not far away, Xia Yuan frowned and walked towards Xia Ze.
