Rebirth of Xia Ze

In the courtyard of Wufutang, the butler stopped Xia Ze who was rushing over, and euphemistically stated that Grandma Xia was taking medicine, and he was going to report.

Xia Ze put his hands in his pockets and sneered, "When will I lose my freedom in my own home?"

Xia Ze's performance was completely a precursor to provoking trouble. The housekeeper vaguely guessed Xia Ze's intentions, and tactfully stepped aside without too much insistence.

Xia Ze subconsciously slowed down his steps, and when he reached the door, he heard Xia Zhijie's voice.

"Mother, I really knew I was wrong. I was just deluded by ghosts. I..."

"Okay!" Grandma Xia interrupted him, "Don't lie to me with these words, I have raised you for so many years, and I still don't understand you? Six paintings, except for the one " "Picture of Heralding Spring", you have lost six other pictures, what are you going to do?"

"Mother, I am really wronged!"

Regardless of the fact that Xia Zhicheng was about to turn sixty, he leaned beside Grandma Xia with a flattering expression.He really felt that he was wronged, and those six paintings were really not exported by him.It was obviously a trick set up by that little bitch Shen Jiashi and Yi Ran, but no one believed his words at all.Yiranju's records clearly showed that the transaction was made with him, and he couldn't even explain clearly.

Six paintings, nearly [-] million yuan, thinking that the fourth brother meant that he would have to bear the loss if he couldn't recover those paintings, and he felt sore.

Grandma Xia looked at Xia Zhijie's distressed look, snorted, and said in an indifferent way: "I know that distressed at this time? Why didn't you see your distressed when it was exported? Do you think it's better to make you feel better than to make Xia Ze cheaper? Isn't that right? The fourth brother is right, you should bleed and remember."

Xia Zhijie lowered his head honestly, not daring to refute a word.

Grandma Xia saw him resigned to beating and scolding, and her anger was long gone.Grandma Xia was really angry when she first found out that Xia Zhijie had exported six paintings, but Xia Zhijie was his son after all, and she was by her side every day during this time, how could she be angry all the time.People say that there is no overnight feud between husband and wife, but in fact, there is really no overnight feud between mother and child.Grandma Xia resentfully stretched out her hand and poked Xia Zhijie on the head like he did something wrong when he was a child. "Okay, let me talk to the fourth child, let this matter go like this. While your sister is here, find a time in a few days to divide those calligraphy and paintings, and these six paintings will be counted as your due share." inside."

Xia Zhijie shrank his neck, secretly groaning in his heart.If grandma Xia said yesterday that she wanted to divide the calligraphy and paintings in the small study, Xia Zhijie would definitely wish for it.But this morning he just saw the mysterious person broke the news, and he suspected that it was Shen Jiashi in his heart, and he was frightened for fear that there would be trouble outside.If Shen Jiashi dared to say this, he probably had some evidence in his hands.Although he felt that he hadn't told Shen Jiashi about his father's will, but he couldn't guarantee whether he said it or not when he got emotional after going to bed.In case this incident becomes serious and the rest of the Xia family are fine, but he has "conclusive evidence" for stealing six paintings, if the Chi family really pursues it, it is estimated that even the fourth child will not be able to keep him.Besides, the thing about taking advantage is that no one knows it, and it is done secretly. Now I am afraid that the whole Haicheng knows about it. Could it be that the Xia family can still refuse to admit it in full view?As long as he has the reputation of embezzling Xia Ze's things, the fourth child's official career will be difficult.

Xia Zhijie smiled guiltyly, "Let's talk about the mother."

"Let's talk?" Grandma Xia didn't care, "How many years can I live? I'll share everything with you while I'm here. When I'm gone, even if this incident breaks out, Xia Ze won't be able to say anything. "

Xia Zhijie didn't dare to answer these words, he hesitated and said: "Mother, actually after thinking about it, those things were left to Ozawa by my father, or I should leave them to Ozawa. We are elders after all. How dare you argue with a junior. Don’t you think so?”

"Hey!" Grandma Xia was wondering why Xia Zhijie had changed his attitude when she heard a sneer from the door.Xia Ze understood it when he heard this.He raised his eyebrows slightly, with sarcasm in his eyes, and just pushed the door in with a calm expression, his eyes swept across Grandma Xia lightly and landed on Xia Zhijie.

"It turns out that the second uncle found out with conscience, and also knew that the elders have no face to compete with the younger generation."

"Ozawa?"

Xia Zhijie was startled by Xia Ze's sudden appearance, and immediately reacted.He looked at Xia Ze with a pleasant face, as if he hadn't heard Xia Ze's ridicule, and said with a smile: "When did you come, Xiao Ze? Come on, my second uncle will go out with you and tell you that your grandma is not in good health and cannot Too tired."

Xia Zhijie wanted to drag Xia Ze out while talking. Xia Ze broke away slightly, flicked his sleeves lightly, sat down on the sofa facing Grandma Xia, and said casually: "Grandma is not in good health? I think grandma is fine." Spiritual! Besides, I came to see grandma, why did I go out and talk to you, Erbo? Is Erbo afraid of being known by grandma?"

"Xia Ze!" Xia Zhijie glared at Xia Ze sternly, his eyes warning.

Xia Ze laughed foolishly, "Second Uncle, why are you staring at me!"

"Okay!" Grandma Xia sternly said: "Xia Ze, you made a fuss as soon as you came, so you go out first and I have to rest."

Grandma Xia vaguely saw something from the attitudes of Xia Zhijie and Xia Ze. She knew that Xia Zhijie probably had something to hide from her, but Xia Ze was not a good guy either. The face is angry.

Xia Ze sneered, the grievance and anger that had been suppressed in his heart were instantly ignited like a barrel of gasoline after hearing Grandma Xia's words, and the anger filled his heart.He tried his best to suppress the emotion that was about to erupt, and the corners of his mouth curled up mockingly, showing a bright smile.

"Why am I making such a fuss? Grandma, you don't know what Erbo is doing, that's the reason why you are making a fuss! You must know that Erbo got involved with Shen Jiashi, who you love the most, and maybe even when you weren't paying attention I slept on this bed before. Now the whole Haicheng must have watched the video of Erbo and Shen Jiashi having sex, did you watch it? I will send you a copy. "

"Xia Ze!" Xia Zhijie blushed and yelled heavily.

Grandma Xia looked at Xia Zhijie in disbelief, turned her head and pointed at Xia Ze tremblingly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm talking nonsense?" Xia Ze looked innocent, with the corners of his mouth curled up, "I have more nonsense. Not only my second uncle, but your beloved Shen Jiashi also slept with my elder brother. Unfortunately, I also have a video in my hand. Do you want to watch it? I think that in a few days, there might be a video of the three of them together, what do you think?"

"Xia Ze, shut up!" Xia Zhijie saw that Grandma Xia's expression was wrong, and strode over to pull Xia Ze out.

"What's wrong?" Xia Sihui's voice sounded at the door.She looked at Xia Zhijie with a gloomy face in surprise, and said in confusion, "Second brother, Ozawa, you are..."

Before Xia Sihui's voice fell, Xia Zhijie exclaimed.A shallow white porcelain bowl slid out of an arc in the air and hit Xia Zhijie's head hard.A long gash was cut on Xia Zhijie's forehead, and blood dripped down from his face mixed with porcelain and medicine residue.

Grandma Xia's face was ashen, panting violently, covering her heart with one hand, pointing at Xia Zhijie with the other tremblingly: "You...you...you..." She couldn't even speak.

Xia Zhijie didn't bother to wipe his face, so he and Xia Sihui hurried to support Grandma Xia, for fear that something might happen to Grandma Xia.

Xia Ze watched their actions silently, unable to suppress the raging anger in his heart.Since he was a child, he knew that grandma didn't like him, so he tried his best not to appear in front of grandma.But no matter what, whether Xia Zhijie or grandma, he always regarded them as relatives in his heart.Because he was with Chi Yiheng in the last life, he had a complete falling out with his family.What he thinks most is not to provoke each other with the Xia family from now on, but he has never had the same malice as in this life, wishing to destroy the entire Xia family.

Xia Ze stood there indifferently, staring at Grandma Xia with dark eyes.Under Xia Sihui's touch, Grandma Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her face was no longer frighteningly black, but rather weakly pale.She glanced at Xia Ze and said helplessly, "Xia Ze, get out!"

Xia Ze turned a deaf ear to her words, and said lightly: "I don't want to stay here any longer, I just have a question I want to know the answer to. Why? Why do you keep my grandfather's will from me? Why do you treat me like an outsider? Guard against it?"

The revelation on the Internet positioned him as a victim, but Xia Ze thought that more people regarded him as a fool.How stupid and pathetic is he to be rejected by the entire Xia family, and why no one has told him about it for so many years.Xia Ze even wondered, could it be that his surname is not Xia, so the whole family dislikes him?

Xia Sihui also saw the report in the morning. Hearing this, she looked at Xia Ze nervously, and explained guiltily: "Xiao Ze, listen to me, it's not what you thought. You are still young, and the family is also worried about you, afraid that you are not sensible."

"I'm ignorant?" Xia Ze laughed mockingly, "No matter how ignorant I was, I never stole things from home and went out to lose a bet. No matter how ignorant I was, I never slept with a man who could be my father."

"Xiao Ze." Xia Sihui interrupted him disapprovingly, Grandma Xia couldn't be stimulated anymore.She was thinking of explaining something, Xia Ze looked at her quietly, "Sister-in-law, did you lie to me? Did you hide it from me?"

"I..." Xia Sihui met Xia Ze's eyes and was suddenly speechless.

Xia Ze lowered his eyes lonely, "Sister, what's the difference between you and them? They treat me as a fool without telling me, and want to take what belongs to me. How about you, Sister? Don't you also treat me as a fool? You say You are doing it for my own good, I don’t need me to know anything, as long as I am happy every day, what is the difference between that and a fool? The purpose you want is not the same, let me know nothing, don’t ask anything, for a lifetime It can only be attached to the Xia family."

"Xiao Ze, I..." Xia Sihui wanted to say that's not the case, she really loves Xia Ze, she wants Xia Ze to live a carefree life forever, she...

"Xia Ze, what did you do!"

Xia Zhicheng's roar sounded behind everyone, but it was Xia Zhicheng who hurried over after hearing the housekeeper's report that Xia Ze and Xia Zhijie had quarreled in Wufutang.He saw Grandma Xia's pale face and the wound on Xia Zhijie's head at a glance, and angrily scolded Xia Ze without thinking.

Xia Ze's expression was calm, and he said indifferently: "It's nothing, I just told grandma what happened outside. Oh, by the way, grandma probably doesn't know what the most sensational news today is? Intended to embezzle the property of the younger generation, father, don’t you think so?”

"Nie Zi!" Xia Zhicheng slapped Xia Ze across the face.At Grandma Xia's age, they dare not let Grandma Xia know about the outside world. Is Xia Ze, a little bastard, going to piss off his mother?

"Uncle!" Xia Zhicheng's slap didn't land on Xia Ze's face, but Chi Yiheng who came later grabbed his arm.He stopped in front of Xia Ze with a stern expression, and said in a solemn tone: "Did Xiao Ze say something wrong?"

"Yiheng, this is our Xia family's business." Xia Zhicheng said with suppressed anger.

Chi Yiheng hooked the corners of his mouth, pulled out an emotionless smile, and said calmly: "Part of the calligraphy and painting left by Grandpa Xia to Xia Ze was deposited by the Chi family in Xia's house. I don't think you will forget, uncle." Right? I think it’s related to this matter, and I’m still qualified to stand here and speak.”

Chi Yiheng's words hit Xia Zhicheng's embarrassment, and he became more and more suspicious that the "Moon Lushan Picture" was deliberately taken back by the Chi family to test him.The moment Xia Zhicheng was silent, Grandma Xia trembled angrily: "The Chi family, don't deceive others too much, those calligraphy and paintings belong to the Shen family﹑Shen..."

"The Shen family sold it to the Chi family." Chi Yiheng said politely.

In an instant, Grandma Xia felt her whole body congested, and her face flushed abnormally. She pointed at Chi Yiheng with shaking fingers, and slid down Xia Zhijie's body to the ground without saying a word.

"Doctor!" Xia Zhicheng shouted.

The doctor who had been staying next door rushed over immediately. Unlike the previous times when Grandma Xia fainted, this time the doctor in the old house immediately suggested that Grandma Xia be sent to the hospital.For a moment, no one in the room cared about Xia Ze and Chi Yiheng, they crowded into a mess.

Chi Yiheng frowned, he didn't expect Grandma Xia's reaction to be so serious.No wonder she always disliked Xia Ze, it turned out that Grandma Xia believed in her heart that it was the Chi family who took over the Shen family's things.Chi Yiheng glanced at Xia Ze worriedly, Xia Ze looked indifferent, turned and walked outside.

"Xiao Ze!" Chi Yiheng followed Xia Ze closely, regretting in his heart that he should have gone to Xia's house to find Xia Ze first, instead of coming to the old house to find Xia Zhicheng first.

"Are you okay?" Chi Yiheng stretched out his hand to hold Xia Ze.

The two had already left Wufutang at this time, Xia Ze followed Chi Yiheng's movements and stood still, looked up at Chi Yiheng, and said in a low voice: "Cousin, did you already know about this?"

Chi Yiheng knew what Xia Ze asked, and he couldn't help but regret it.He actually didn't intend to hide this from Xia Ze, but when he knew about it, he had just realized his intentions, and he didn't know how to face Xia Ze at all, so he put off telling Xia Ze about it for a while.

"Yes!" Chi Yiheng said bitterly.

Xia Ze's eyes dimmed a little bit, he lowered his head, couldn't see the expression on his face, and said softly: "I don't like this, I don't want to be kept in the dark by others, I don't want to be like a fool Do not know at all."

Xia Ze's voice was very soft, but these two words hit Chi Yiheng's heart like a heavy hammer.He just felt sore in his heart, he felt sorry for Xia Ze and regretted his previous hesitation.He shouldn't be self righteous.Ever since he returned to China and saw Xia Ze, he has subconsciously regarded Xia Ze as an ignorant child in his heart.He habitually makes decisions for Xia Ze, under the banner of being good for Xia Ze, but forgets that even if Xia Ze is still a child, he still has his own thoughts and feelings.He has the right to make his own choices, not to let other people manipulate his life.

Chi Yiheng carefully stretched out a hand and put it on Xia Ze's shoulder, with a solemn expression: "Xiao Ze, I'm sorry."

Xia Ze shook his head slightly and kept staring at the ground, as if he was talking to Chi Yiheng or another person.

"I don't blame you, cousin. I'm so useless. It's always been like this. I don't know anything. I live heartlessly every day. I listen to what others say. I know that you are doing it for my own good. Sincerely For my own good, but I don’t want this kind of good. I didn’t understand it before, but I understand it now. I don’t want to be a useless waste all my life. I need my cousin to protect me. I rely on you for everything. I can’t live without you. Go on. I also want to stand by your side, even if I still can't do anything, I can try my best not to hold you back."

Chi Yiheng felt that he didn't understand what Xia Ze said, but felt that he understood everything.His heart was stuffy, and he just felt very blocked.He heard the despair in Xia Ze's words, and an indescribable pain gradually spread from the bottom of his heart.

Xia Ze lowered his head and didn't speak any more.A drop of water fell on the bluestone bricks under his feet, followed by a second drop, and a third drop.

Chi Yiheng couldn't bear it anymore, and stretched out his hand to hold Xia Ze tightly in his arms.Xia Ze leaned on his shoulder, tears soon wet his shoulder.Chi Yiheng vaguely remembered the first time he met Xia Ze when he returned to China, it was the same that time, Xia Ze leaned on his shoulder and wept silently.The heat of that tear was astonishing, as if a mark had been branded on his shoulder.Now in the same place, Chi Yiheng only felt that his skin seemed to be hot through the cloth.His heart was shattered by Xia Ze's tears, and he was willing to use one switch to turn back time, as long as he could go back to before Xia Ze was sad.He will no longer be as self-righteous as this time, but he has made up his mind early and will always be by Xia Ze's side.

Time passed, and the two hugged each other like no one else.The depression that had been suppressed in Xia Ze's heart dissipated, he sniffled, and took a step back to push Chi Yiheng away.Chi Yiheng didn't let go of his hand completely, but just loosened his arms.

Xia Ze raised his head slightly, "Cousin, I'm fine."

Chi Yiheng gently brushed Xia Ze's eyes with his hand, and gave a low hum.

Xia Ze's eyes were flushed, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up into a shy smile, "Cousin, can you accompany me to a place?"

"it is good!"

The place Xia Ze is going to is located in the suburbs of Haicheng, quite far from the old house of the Xia family.Chi Yiheng got into the car and fastened Xia Ze's seat belt on his side.Xia Ze watched his movements intently, blinked, the redness and swelling faded away, and the eyes washed with tears were exceptionally clear and clean.

Chi Yiheng felt Xia Ze's gaze, and the corner of his mouth curled up, "What are you looking at?"

Xia Ze shook his head and refused to speak, Chi Yiheng laughed, stretched out his hand to rub Xia Ze's head affectionately, and said softly, "Why do you want to go to the suburbs so far away?"

"I want to see a friend."

"friend?"

Xia Ze hummed, "He passed away not long ago, and I have never had the courage to see him. I have been avoiding the place where he died. Now that I think about it, I feel that I am no longer afraid."

Chi Yiheng looked at Xia Ze tenderly, the expression on Xia Ze's face showed a kind of relief, he could feel that Xia Ze seemed a little different again.
