Rebirth of Xia Ze

Xia Zhicheng was not stupid to be able to sit in the position of deputy mayor of Haicheng, and what he thought was actually realistic.

It has been 15 years since Chi Xinyun passed away. Although the Chi family found out about this incident after so many years, he was very surprised. , After the initial shock, he was able to start thinking about the possible reaction of the Chi family and his response.

For Xia Zhicheng, what he was most afraid of was being found out by the Chi family for some key evidence.Now that he has just gained the upper hand in the fight with Sun Deyuan, if the Chi family is convicted of a murder, he will be able to retreat safely, not to mention his future career development.The most likely thing is to be in prison, and years of hard work will come to naught.Compared to the worst outcome he could think of, as long as the Chi family didn't have any critical evidence in their hands, everything would be better.Xia Zhicheng has been in politics for so many years, and he claims to be clean and upright. The Chi family can't bring him down in the matter of Chi Xinyun, and it is not so easy to catch him in other matters.

He thought this way, but Grandma Xia didn't think so, and snorted coldly, "How could the Chi family know what happened back then? Either Han Ling's crazy woman or Xia Yuan said it, what are you going to do?"

Grandma Xia didn't have a good impression of Han Ling at all.At the very beginning, she looked down on Han Ling. Because Han Ling had a lot of trouble with Xia Zhicheng, she finally sent Han Ling away. After a few years of stable life, the woman came back again, which led to so many things behind.Grandma Xia felt that Han Ling was a prodigal. When something happened to Chi Xinyun, Grandma Xia urged Han Ling to be sent away.It was Xia Zhicheng who insisted on protecting Han Ling and left her behind.Over the years, Xia Zhicheng's status has risen higher and higher, and Grandma Xia had to turn a blind eye to endure Han Ling's existence.Now that what happened back then is out, she wants to see what Xia Zhicheng has to say.

Xia Zhicheng hesitated for a moment, then explained: "Han Ling is not crazy, so what good will it do her. Xiao Yuan is also impossible."

"Then how do you think the Chi family knew?"

Xia Zhicheng was at a loss for words for a while, and Grandma Xia took advantage of the situation and said, "Why is Xia Yuan also your son? He probably won't say it, even if it's Han Ling. That woman has been crazy all these years. She may have been stimulated by something. Why don't you take her now?" Send it to a nursing home, so that even if the Chi family catches something, no one will believe what she says like a lunatic."

Grandma Xia's suggestion coincided with Xia Yuan's.Recently, Xia Zhicheng was thinking about sending Han Ling to recuperate. The problem was that Han Ling didn't want to go.

Grandma Xia saw that Xia Zhicheng's expression had softened, and immediately tried to persuade her: "You must not be confused at this time. What is more important? Han Ling is still your official career?"

The word career was on Xia Zhicheng's body. He struggled for a while, but his own interests prevailed, and he nodded slightly.

It was already late at night when Xia Zhicheng left the hospital and returned to Xia's house.

Hearing the commotion in the courtyard, Zhou Hanqing, who had been holding himself up and waiting for Xia Zhicheng, hurried to the door, "Zhicheng, you are back, how is your mother?"

Xia Zhicheng was called to the hospital by Grandma Xia, and he left too suddenly without saying anything.Zhou Hanqing was thinking about what happened all night, is Grandma Xia dying?

Xia Zhicheng had something in his heart, and he reacted coldly to Zhou Hanqing's hospitality.After ordering Zhou Hanqing to rest first, Xia Zhicheng turned around and went to the study alone.Looking at Xia Zhicheng's indifferent back, the smile on Zhou Hanqing's face could no longer be contained.Ever since his elder brother made a mistake in handling Xia Zhicheng's affairs, Xia Zhicheng had always treated her like this with anger and indifference.Even Zichang was almost beaten by Chen Hui's subordinates who made all kinds of troubles for the Zhou family in the past few days. After hearing her talk, Xia Zhicheng knew it lightly.Zhou Hanqing's heart was filled with unspeakable chills. She had given birth to Xia Zhicheng's children and took care of the housework for so many years, but in Xia Zhicheng's eyes, she didn't even have a trace of face.

She was furious and didn't have the confidence to make trouble in front of Xia Zhicheng, so she could only transfer her anger to Han Ling.She finally understood what Chi Xinyun was, and Han Ling was Xia Zhicheng's darling.Seeing that Han Ling is crazy and mentally ill, Xia Zhicheng still takes care of her well, saying that he doesn't believe in Han Ling.

Zhou Hanqing sneered, Xia Zhicheng tormented her, so she went to torment Han Ling, anyway, as long as she did not make mistakes in Mrs. Xia's position, Xia Zhicheng couldn't do anything to her.

In the study, Xia Zhicheng didn't care about what Zhou Hanqing thought at all.In his eyes, the entire Zhou family, including Zhou Hanqing, is dependent on him.The reason why he married Zhou Hanqing back then was because Zhou Hanqing was obedient and sensible and had no background.He married Zhou Hanqing, which not only prevented his mother from interfering in his marriage, but also did not have to worry about the existence of Han Ling and Xia Yuan being exposed, and he would be wronged in front of Zhou Hanqing.Zhou Hanqing's only credit for being married to him for so many years is that she gave birth to Xia Kai.For Xia Kai's sake, he is already enough to support the Zhou family.Unexpectedly, mud is just mud, and it will never be able to support the wall.

A trace of disgust flashed in Xia Zhicheng's eyes, and he thought of the Chi family again.

Speaking of which, Xia Zhicheng also had feelings for Chi Xinyun.Although he didn't care about his mother's saying that he was a lady from a family, but he had to say that compared to Han Ling, Chi Xinyun, who was educated by the family, really made him unable to find any faults.The two have been married for many years. Except for Chi Xinyun's regret that he has never had a child, the two are really in tune with each other in other respects.Chi Xinyun's help contributed to his smooth career in the early stage, and Xia Ze's birth later made their relationship better.Xia Zhicheng really wanted to live a good life with Chi Xinyun at that time, even if Han Ling brought Xia Yuan to him, even if he felt extremely guilty towards Han Ling, he never thought about divorcing Chi Xinyun.

But on that night, Chi Xinyun returned home earlier than the time agreed with him, and happened to overhear the conversation between him and Han Ling.He knew that Chi Xinyun had a strong temper, but he didn't expect Chi Xinyun to be so straightforward. Not only did he not listen to his explanation, but he directly stated that she wanted to divorce him and brought Xia Ze back to Chi's house.That period of time was the key to his promotion, let's not talk about his relationship with Chi Xinyun, just talk about how he could have a style problem in that situation.He subconsciously went to pull Chi Xinyun, Han Ling made trouble again, Chi Xinyun lost his footing and fell down the stairs after breaking free.

Xia Zhicheng closed his eyes. Chi Xinyun's death had a greater impact on him than he thought.In fact, he often thought of Chi Xinyun these years. He knew that he was sorry for her, and he wanted to make up for Xia Ze better, but Xia Ze's eyes that were exactly the same as Chi Xinyun always made him unable to face it.He couldn't tell what was going on in his heart, but sometimes when he looked at Xia Ze, he would think, if Chi Xinyun hadn't died, would their life be different?

If Chi Xinyun hadn't died...

Xia Zhicheng shook his head. There is no medicine for regret in this world, and he never felt that it was wrong to hide the truth about Chi Xinyun's death back then.Compared to Chi Xinyun, of course he is more important.He always thought that this matter could be hidden to the end, but he didn't expect the Chi family to find out after so long.Now the conflict between him and the Chi family is inevitable, and now it depends on what the Chi family will do first.

Xia Zhicheng soon knew what the Chi family was going to do first.

When Chi Yiheng appeared at Xia's house with a calm expression on his face, Xia Zhicheng's heart turned several times.Chi Yiheng said very politely, he came to hand over the batch of calligraphy and paintings from the old house, other than that, he didn't mention anything else.

Xia Zhicheng's expression remained unchanged, but he was wondering what the Chi family meant.I was going to tear myself apart with him, so I asked Xia Ze's things back first, in case he wouldn't give them back later?The idea of ​​keeping these calligraphy and paintings really turned in his mind, but he quickly suppressed them.As long as the Chi family doesn't tear themselves apart for a day, in the eyes of outsiders, the Chi Xia family is still one, and he can't lose his tongue because of these extraneous things.

All the way from Xia's house to the old house, Xia Zhi was thinking about this matter.But Chi Yiheng looked as if he really came here only for these calligraphy and paintings, and even his attitude towards him was as polite as ever, without any clues.

Of course, Xia Zhicheng would not be so naive as to think that the Chi family didn't care about Chi Xinyun's life or death, but Chi Yiheng's attitude was really weird.The scene of the Chi family's furious thunder did not appear in his imagination, which instead made Xia Zhicheng even more uneasy.The calmer Chi Yiheng's attitude was, the more Xia Zhicheng felt that there was a ghost in his heart.He knew Chi Shouzheng well, and based on the other party's feelings for Chi Xinyun, he was definitely not someone who would press this matter down.That is to say, what is the Chi family planning in secret?

Xia Zhicheng secretly looked at Chi Yiheng, and gradually became suspicious, fearing that any words would set a trap for him.He still remembered the scene where Chi Yiheng approached him a few times because of Xia Ze's matter, and he was a difficult person just like his father.

Xia Zhicheng led Chi Yiheng all the way to the old house, thinking that only Chi Yiheng came this time, but he didn't expect to see Xia Ze's figure in the old house.He was calling to the butler to entertain the guests who came with him.

The corners of Xia Zhicheng's eyes twitched, his expression became a little unnatural.No matter how selfish he is, he will always feel a little embarrassed when he meets Xia Ze who knows the truth.Especially after seeing clearly the guests brought by Xia Ze, Xia Zhicheng's expression became even more unnatural.

"Ozawa, why are you here?" Chi Yiheng stepped past Xia Zhicheng and asked.

Xia Ze glanced at Xia Zhicheng indifferently, and said: "These calligraphy and paintings are all left to me by my grandfather. I am not filial. Not only did I not keep them properly, I even lost a few of them. Now my father wants to hand them over to me. I should take a look at it both emotionally and rationally, don’t be inexplicably missing a few more.”

After he finished speaking, everyone in the room had different expressions.Xia Zhicheng felt a burning pain on his face.

Chi Yiheng squeezed Xia Ze's hand calmly, and turned to the guests brought by Xia Ze. "Grandpa Bai, Master Zhou, Master Xu, Master Huo."

The guests that Xia Ze brought were not ordinary people, but several well-known connoisseurs in Haicheng's calligraphy and painting circle.Among them, the grandfather Bai mentioned by Chi Yiheng is Bai Xiaoqi's grandfather, who has been immersed in calligraphy and painting appreciation for many years and has a good eye.Grandpa Xia left behind a lot of calligraphy and paintings. After the incident about Shen Jiashi broke out, the Xia family asked someone to count the number of calligraphy and paintings and verify the authenticity of these calligraphy and paintings.Xia Ze deliberately invited a few people over this time, and the intention is self-evident.

Xia Zhicheng felt that his face was going to be completely humiliated.Before Shen Jiashi accused the Xia family of copying and stealing Xia Ze's inheritance, there was an uproar, but neither Xia Ze nor the Chi family came out to express their views, and outsiders don't know the specific truth.But Xia Ze's actions today confirmed that Shen Jiashi's accusations were true in front of outsiders, but he couldn't explain it, so he could only acquiesce to Xia Ze's words.

Xia Zhicheng believed that within a day, the news would spread throughout the upper circles of Haicheng.Xia Ze's accusation was much more serious than Shen Jiashi's.

Xia Zhicheng held his breath in his heart, but Xia Ze still didn't let him go.In front of everyone, he continued: "Father, do you still remember the lost paintings? Last time you told me that you would give me the money. It has been almost half a month now. When do you plan to cash in the money?" money?"

As soon as Xia Ze said these words, the expressions of the people in the room became even more wrong. They all showed regretful expressions, and they looked at Xia Zhicheng with even weirder expressions.Although Xia Zhicheng is the deputy mayor of Haicheng, the cultural circle is different from other circles. These famous masters are quite noble and do not value Xia Zhicheng's identity very much.Bai Xiaoqi's grandfather was a member of Grandpa Xia's generation, and Xia Zhicheng was also his junior, so he didn't care about Xia Zhicheng's embarrassment at this time.

No matter how calm Xia Zhicheng was, when he was questioned aggressively by Xia Ze and looked at with contempt from everyone, his expression couldn't help but become ugly.
