Nongben is passionate

The car quickly passed through the drowsy rain, but Xie Xuan felt that his heart was completely soaked by the cold rain, and his whole body was cold.

When we arrived at Xie Mansion in Xiaolianshan, the rain stopped and the sky suddenly became beautiful.Xie Xuan walked along the long and secluded corridor to the door of the study with a feeling of apprehension - the door of the study was not closed, and the majestic sunlight from the west passed through the large glass windows, dyeing the classic mahogany furniture in the room with a layer of moisture. Color, old Mrs. Xie is wearing presbyopic glasses to inspect a copper arhat placed on the desk——

Xie Xuan knocked on the door, "Grandpa—"

Mrs. Xie raised his head, looked kindly, and waved his hands, "I'm back, come, let's take a look at this arhat from the Ming Dynasty that Grandpa has just brought in."

Xie Xuan approached obediently.

Perhaps it was because he had obtained a rare treasure, Mrs. Xie was in a good mood, and pointed to the bronze statue of Arhat on the desk with great interest, and said: "Look at this statue of Arhat, the carving is so detailed and the attitude is so good, it is even more rare. The colorful copper can still give out the brilliance of gilt. Grandpa met a collector friend in London before who was bigger than this one. If you give it to me, I never thought that after twenty years or so, I would meet someone on par."

After speaking, his tone was somewhat complacent. He glanced at the silent Xie Xuan, took off his reading glasses, sat on the chair, and asked in a pleasant tone, "What's wrong, are you unhappy?"

Xie Xuan pursed her lips, raised her head, and said with some difficulty, "Grandpa—"

Mrs. Xie still had a loving expression on his face, "Is it for that child named Zhou Nansheng?"

Xie Xuan clenched his hand on the side of his trouser leg into a fist, and nodded silently.

Mrs. Xie asked again: "Is that your friend in Zhoutang?"

"Ah."

Mrs. Xie took a scrutiny at Xie Xuan and smiled, "Well, between friends, it is right to help, but—" Mrs. Xie changed his tone, "Everything must be done according to one's ability. It's worthy of your friendship, he won't blame you—"

"Grandpa!" Xie Xuan said in panic.

Old Mrs. Xie gave Xie Xuan a faint look with his penetrating eyes, "San Er, everyone should be responsible for their own actions, even if the price may be high, but this is something that no one else can replace—— You stretched out your hand to give him a hand when he was in danger. This is your loyalty, but if you know that you can't do it, you are a big fool. You go out—"

Mrs. Xie's tone was not harsh, but every word seemed to hit Xie Xuan's heart with a heavy weight, and his whole body was so heavy that he felt as if he would fall forward with every step. Countless white and miserable arms were pulling him and pulling him, and the feeling of powerlessness that he could only watch with his eyes almost made him lose all hope.

Probably because his face was too ugly, Uncle He who was standing outside the door stepped forward worriedly, "Third Young Master, you—"

Xie Xuan glanced at him blankly, and stood still. The man who had lost his soul did not know why he forced a wave of anger, turned around, and knelt down straight towards the study, with both knees hitting the ground, even though the carpet was covered, Still heard a muffled bang, which was startling.Uncle He was taken aback, and hurried to help Xie Xuan, "Third Young Master, what are you doing?"

Xie Xuan remained silent, her back straightened, and her eyes were scorchingly bright with a kind of determination without hesitation.

Uncle He was very anxious, "Third young master, what can't be said properly, if you are like this, the old man will only get angrier."

But Xie Xuan couldn't listen at all, Uncle He had no choice but to go into the study——

Mrs. Xie leaned on a cane and sat on the sofa with a sullen face. He obviously knew what happened at the door, so Uncle He called out "Master", and Mrs. Xie had already said, "Tell him to kneel!"

Uncle He could only swallow the rest of the words back to his stomach.

With this kneeling, the entire Xie mansion was immediately shrouded in a layer of dark clouds.Old Mrs. Xie was obviously angry. He has grown up from nothing to being one-sided. He has long been trained to be cold-hearted, and he is also used to others' obedience and control.For Xie Xuan, he does have some partiality. Xie Xuan didn't grow up by his side when he was young, and he has such a quiet and obedient appearance. He almost never asks for it. He can't help but want to make up for him more, but who Thinking that this child actually looks like this when he becomes stubborn——

Until dinner time, Mrs. Xie did not leave the study.

The old lady Ouyang rushed over when she heard the news, and said to Xie Xuan who was still kneeling at the door: "Xie Xuan, among the children, you have always been the most obedient, what's the big deal to make your grandpa angry?" You don’t even want to eat, so hurry up and confess your mistake to your grandpa!”

Xie Xuan lowered his head and remained silent.

Seeing that, the old lady Ouyang couldn't persuade her, and she lost her mind, so she sent the dinner to the study in person, and while serving the old man's dishes, she said casually: "You are really serious, why are you so good-natured, why are you two grandchildren competing against each other? My son, the servants dare not speak loudly, they are so old, and they don't pay attention to their bodies—"

Mr. Xie was leaning on a cane with both hands, sitting on the sofa, his face was sombre that he couldn't see any thoughts - he really didn't expect Xie Xuan to have such a big reaction, probably because this child is used to being obedient, and the occasional rebellion That made him particularly concerned—he had a rough idea of ​​what happened to Zhou Nansheng, it wasn’t a big deal, but for someone who had nothing to do with him and had no relationship value, there was no need——

He didn't know how long he had been kneeling, but Xie Xuan only felt that his knees were hurting badly. He was not in good health, but he had been thinking a lot these past few days and hadn't had a good rest. Now he was supporting himself with perseverance.Probably feeling the undisguised and substantive gaze poured on him, Xie Xuan moved his body slightly, looked up——

Xie Mingyu stood in the backlight, with both hands in his trouser pockets, staring at him presumptuously, as if trying to restrain himself, so his body and expression were a little stiff.

At this time, how could Xie Xuan have the energy to care about Xie Mingyu? He only took one look, then looked away, straightened his back, and continued to kneel.

Xie Mingyu stared at him with a fierce expression, as if he wanted to bite him to death, but he still forced himself to turn around, braced his fragile pride, and strode away, but his hands in his trouser pockets were clenched into fists, I don’t feel pain when my nails sink into the flesh—I just feel that my chest is blocked by an emotion and is about to explode—he once said that Xie Xuan is not the kind of person who will treat others well unconditionally. Sure, Xie Xuan is indeed the case, so what is this now, what is it?

For such an impulsive and brainless person, someone as lonely as Xie San, would actually kneel down and beg——

It's so funny - what on earth does that guy deserve that he's that good at?

Xie Xuan knelt for a whole night, and when it was dawn, his whole body was already crumbling, his lips were dry and peeled, and only a pair of dark eyes on his pale face were still stubborn and determined.He was called into the small living room connected to the master bedroom. Mrs. Xie only wore a dressing gown over his pajamas, sat on the sofa in the middle with his hands on crutches, and watched Xie Xuan come in - this night, he didn't Sleeping well, angry, angry, but still soft-hearted after all, looking at this stubborn grandson, he sighed, and his tone was still a bit bad, "You must save him?"

Xie Xuan was sour, and tears welled up in his eyes, but he tried not to let it fall, bit his lip, and said slowly but solemnly: "Grandpa, Nansheng is very important to me. Important people - I was frail and sickly when I was young, and I was autistic and had no friends. Every time I got sick, I always thought of death, feeling lonely and helpless, a drag on others, and even my parents were bored. Later, I was sent to Zhoutang, where I met When I arrived at Nansheng, it was he who played games with me, didn’t dislike my clumsiness and loneliness, endured my inexplicable bad temper many times, and never forsaken me—his father passed away unexpectedly, and we slept next to each other in the same bed , he told me that he didn’t have a father anymore. At that time, I said in my heart, it’s okay, you still have me——I know, these may be nothing in the eyes of others, but for me, there is nothing I can do anyway. Erase it lightly. His mother remarried and has her own new home, and she is very indifferent to him. If I leave him too, then no one really cares about him—"

Later, Xie Xuan couldn't help crying, even Uncle He and Mrs. Xie couldn't help but turn red eyes, especially Mrs. Xie, who never thought that such a young child would think of death so many times. Even more sympathetic, touched his head tenderly, nodded, "I see." He wiped the tears off Xie Xuan's face, his eyes soft, "Grandpa promises you that Zhou Nan will come out safely and unscathed— — But you also have to promise grandpa, after this incident, go abroad—”

Xie Xuan was stunned, she didn't expect Mrs. Xie to make such a request suddenly.

Mrs. Xie seemed to be amused by his stupefied appearance, and the usual intimacy resumed on his face, "Why, can't it be done? San'er, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If you want something, you have to pay the price. One point, you must remember that this is your first lesson."

Xie Xuan's eyes flickered for a moment, and he slowly lowered his eyelids, biting his lips flushed, and after a long time, he said slowly, "I see, thank you Grandpa."

Old Master Xie touched Xie Xuan's head with a look of relief, "Good boy." He raised his head and said to Uncle He, "Ah He, call Dr. Wang."

Uncle He quickly agreed and went out to make a phone call.

Mrs. Xie pulled Xie Xuan up, "Okay, let's go wash up first, get some sleep, and ask Dr. Wang to check up."

Xie Xuan nodded obediently, bid farewell to Mrs. Xie, and walked out of the small living room.

Mrs. Xie sighed involuntarily. Originally, the idea of ​​letting Xie Xuan go abroad was just an idea, but seeing Xie Xuan's appearance today, Mrs. Xie quickly made a decision-San'er is a child who attaches great importance to feelings. It's just that he is too attached to the child named Zhou Nansheng. If Zhou Nansheng's heart is upright, then it's okay, but if he has a wrong heart, he will cause trouble——

No matter what, the two should be separated first to minimize the influence. As time goes by and we see more people and things, the childhood friendship will fade away.

Although his body was extremely tired, Xie Xuan couldn't sleep at all. He lay on the bed, looking at the warm sunshine outside the window. He stretched out his hand involuntarily and spread his five fingers. The sunlight passed through his fingers. He scratched, his eyes darkened , as if to devour everything, there is a shocking ambition in it——

Since it was the Xie family who made the move, the efficiency became extremely high.Zhou Nansheng's matter and Xie Xuan's going abroad were carried out at the same time, and the dust settled almost at the same time.

Zhou Nansheng stood outside the police station, feeling unreal, as if in a dream.After meeting Xie Xuan that day, Xie Xuan never appeared again. While feeling disappointed and sad in his heart, he was also glad that San'er was different from him. He didn't want San'er to become so cold because of himself. With these messy things about me, San'er will live better.Having prepared for the worst, he settled down in his heart——

However, he did not wait for his own sentence, but waited for his release. What happened? He suddenly thought of what Xie Xuan said about Li Daitao's stiff method, and suddenly became nervous—out of everyone, he only knew Liu Qi, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, he grabbed Liu Qi's arm and asked, "Lawyer Liu, what's going on? Where's Brother Jiang?"

Liu Qi comforted him with a smile, "Don't worry, you're fine, and Jiang Jianhui is fine, it's the Yu family who withdrew the lawsuit—"

Zhou Nansheng still didn't believe it, "Withdraw the lawsuit?" Will the Yu family withdraw the lawsuit?

Liu Qi said: "Yes, you should really thank Third Young Master this time. Without him, I'm afraid few people would be able to get you out." There are few such friends, and the whole Xie family is actually working for him.

Hearing Xie Xuan's name, Zhou Nansheng felt a little parched. He looked around, but he didn't see San'er. He licked his lips and asked with some difficulty: "Lawyer Liu, San'er didn't come. ?"

Liu Qi spread his hands, "I don't know about this. In fact, this case was taken over by someone else. I was just asked to pick you up today—anyway, just come out—"

Zhou Nansheng recalled that day when Xie Xuan stood at the door of the interrogation room and said hoarsely and resolutely—"Zhou Nansheng, I only care about you!" His heart contracted violently, pained and joyful, a desire to see him immediately swelled wildly, violently Touching his chest—he swallowed, and asked, "Lawyer Liu, do you know where San'er's home is?"

Holding the address that Liu Qi had given him, Zhou Nansheng came to Xiaolian Mountain with an impulse, and waited for the taxi to circle up the quiet mountain road. From time to time, a huge tree full of branches and flowers passed by the window. When Zhou Nansheng’s feverish head cooled down, the taxi had already stopped——

"Here we are, Xie Mansion, a total of 180 seven."

"Oh." Zhou Nansheng paid the money in a hurry, got out of the car quickly, looked up, opened his mouth involuntarily, and was speechless—at this moment, Zhou Nansheng regretted——

He always knew that Xie Xuan's family conditions were very good, but he never knew that it was so good. It was a world he couldn't imagine at all, it only existed in novels and movies, and there was never this moment that made him deeply aware of the reality of heaven. The gap with the earth——Zhou Nansheng never felt that he was inferior to others in anything. He neither stole nor robbed, was upright and open-minded. What could make him feel inferior?However, at this moment, he was silent, he felt bad about himself, the comparison was too hurtful, he wanted to turn around and leave——

However, at this moment, the side door opened, and Zhou Nansheng, who had already started walking, stopped, his heart beating uncontrollably, and he turned around quickly - a boy came out with a dog, not Xie Xuan .

Seeing the person in front of him, Xie Mingyu was also a little surprised, and glanced up and down the person with a cold face.

That gaze made Zhou Nansheng very uncomfortable, but he still said, "I'm looking for Xie Xuan—"

"He's not here." Xie Mingyu's answer was indifferent, even disgusting.

Zhou Nansheng pursed his lower lip, "When will he come back?"

Xie Mingyu raised his eyebrows suddenly, and smiled, arrogantly and mockingly, "He has gone abroad, England, and will not be back in a short time, why, didn't my third brother tell you?"

Zhou Nansheng opened his mouth and couldn't make any sound. A kind of powerlessness and sadness that was left in place again seized him.

After Xie Mingyu finished speaking, he took his bag and walked away. Zhou Nansheng stood alone in front of the magnificent old building that was extremely out of proportion to him, like a fool.
