fourth rebirth

"If you're lucky, he will contact you after this period of time. If you're not lucky, maybe we'll be able to attend his funeral in two or three days."

Chi Zhe's pupils shrank suddenly, and he subconsciously grabbed Chi Ran's arm.

Chi Ran didn't shake him off, and continued to speak in such an emotionless tone, "Since the establishment of this dynasty, there has never been a crown prince with a family blood who can successfully ascend the throne. There has never been a royal family like this year Internally, we can’t pick a year that is enough for the crown prince to take on a big role.”

"Shijia, I'm getting impatient."

She looked at Chi Zhe coldly, "Mixed bastards like us are the first wave of liquidation targets for the bloodlineists. Ruining your reputation is just the first step."

"Once in power, those little princes who are of mixed blood and value their blood more will not give us any chance to stand up." Chi Ran showed a malicious smile, "Just like those who are the most patriarchal, they have always been Like a mother-in-law, not a father-in-law. Those women spoil women, and they spoil their own kind."

"In this way, I can show my sincerity and gain more support."

"Compared to other mixed races, we," the corners of her mouth parted further, "are the most famous and the weakest."

She turned her head and looked at Chi Zhe, "Guan Qi, he was just being killed as an example."

"... Really... There is no way out?" He looked at Chi Ran with a glimmer of hope in his eyes, a faint hope that would be extinguished by the wind.

"No more," Chi Ran smiled lightly, that hope was extinguished, "If we knew that our grandfather had a backup, we might still have a glimmer of hope."

"However, since we don't even care about the inheritance of the family, we only want to leave a little blood. How can the grandfather care about our lives? He doesn't even need to do anything, as long as he publishes the list of the Qiao family's former enemies, whether it is true or not. False, we became the target of public criticism."

"...Why, it's me?" This is Chi Zhe's deepest doubt. He has seen Chi Ran's abilities before, and they are far stronger than him, who has never been in contact with them.

"Do you still remember Lu Wei?" Chi Ran asked back.

"remember."

"I haven't told you about his life experience yet," she said in a brisk and joyful voice, "The Chi family, the Lu family and the other three families are the families launched by His Majesty the first emperor to deal with the aristocratic family. The Chi family is where grandpa lives. Before the death of Mr. Chi, the family in charge of military power. The Lu family is the one you have seen Lu Wei was born in. It handles money and has businesses all over the world. According to common sense, even if the Lu family is defeated, the young master Lu Nor should he be miserable. Why, then, do you suppose he couldn't find a decent suit that day?"

"I don't know." Chi Zhe shook his head.

"Because of me," Chi Ran smiled sweetly, "Do you remember the business proposals you read when you were in school and wanted to help me? It was the acquisition of the last remaining property of the Lu family."

Chi Zhe stared blankly at his sister.

"I've already," Chi Ran looked into his eyes with a smile, "it's too deep."

"Open those boxes and have a look." She told Chi Zhe.

Chi Zhe, who was in a sluggish state, foolishly followed Chi Ran's request, and then... "Gold?" He murmured, holding the object with a golden appearance in disbelief.

"Here, there is a share of Lu's family." Chi Ran smiled and watched Chi Zhe's movements, "This is all in these boxes."

"At the beginning, the Qiao family was destroyed, and countless people fought against the Qiao family for the remaining rare treasures. Therefore, the female ancestor gave an order. In the treasure house of the Qiao family, except for the dozen or so treasures handed down by the ancestors, the rest All of them are exchanged for gold and silver, as well as books."

"Grandfather has always obeyed this ancestral precept." She turned her head slightly, and her eyes fell on the empty stone pillars. Abandoned treasure.

Unfortunately, it was eventually abandoned.

She thought of the tripod that appeared at the Gambling Stone Auction.

She was sad for just a moment, but the next moment, she smiled and looked at her younger brother again, "This treasure house is all we can have."

The way they went in and out was not the same.It wasn't until he returned to the plane and rose slowly that Chi Zhe discovered that he had been to this place—the village that surprised him so much that he went to see Chi Ran in his second life.

The truth surfaced one by one. On the first night back to his hometown, he suffered from insomnia.

With big dark circles under his eyes, Chi Zhe, awakened by the biological clock, sat at the dining table.He Haixu at the side handed him a plate of fried eggs very naturally.

"Thank you..." Chi Zhe wanted to say this subconsciously, but suddenly he remembered Chi Ran's words and what he was about to face in the future, and felt a little at a loss again.

Under such circumstances, how should you treat your first subordinate?Chi Zhe opened and closed his mouth, but finally he only spit out two words, "Thank you."

However, the days that followed were not as tense and terrifying as he had imagined.For more than ten days after that, Chi Ran never took the initiative to contact him, and no terrible incident happened around him, as if that conversation was just an illusion.

But now, the illusion was broken, "Keep Lu Wei by your side." This was Chi Ran's first call to him.He habitually accepted.

Putting on a simple shirt and jeans, and a sun hat, Chi Zhe, who covered most of his face with sunglasses, appeared at the airport.

I haven't seen him for a few months, the young master who was down and out is gone, and the rest is a handsome son.

He had grown up in that environment.

Smiling at the person in front of him, Chi Zhe calculated the time when the Lu family was really down.

The project, Chi Ran... That should be after Chi Ran turned 16, that is, five or six years ago.Five or six years of poor life did not seem to have worn away the demeanor he was cultivated since childhood.

Chi Ran's scheming towards the Lu family, his embarrassment when he met for the first time, and his demeanor when he met again... Countless pictures flashed through his unforgettable brain without leaving a trace in his heart.

It's just an unlucky ghost under karma.

Chi Zhe, who is cold and indifferent to strangers, defines the man in front of him.

The man on the opposite side never saw Chi Zhe's thoughts at all.Anyone who wears a mask for nearly 40 years will become that person's second face.You can't even notice it when you get along day and night, let alone a stranger you've met.

With a slightly shy smile, the man handed the box in his hand to Chi Zhe, "Thank you so much for the past. This is a gift I prepared. I heard that you like it, but it is only sold in Kyoto." , so I prepared it specially, and I hope you can accept it." His cheeks were flushed, his words were not expressive, he seemed to be full of gratitude to Chi Zhe but couldn't stop his nervousness.

I like?

Chi Zhe was stunned for a moment, then took the box with both hands, and from the corner of his eyes, he caught sight of the man's hands hanging naturally on both sides of his body.

So unprofessional.Director Chi thought calmly, this scene needs to be repeated.

Then look at the packaging of the box.

Chocopologie by Kniulp.

One of the most expensive chocolate brands in the world at $2600 per pound.

The brand of chocolate he was obsessed with before he was 19.The chocolate that used to be on the coffee table in his screening room every night.

The memory was retrieved, and Chi Zhe subconsciously showed a pleasant smile to the person in front of him, his eyes narrowed, the corners of his lips raised, showing an innocent and brilliant smile.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had eaten chocolate.

Don't want to eat, not at all.

Chi Zhe doesn't like the new and dislike the old, because once he forgets it, he won't have the slightest nostalgia no matter whether it's a new one or the one he once liked.

Like that girl who has never been thought of until now.

One of the side effects of photographic memory.His eyes are like continuous shooting cameras, and his brain is filled with countless pictures all the time. Only by constantly sinking the old pictures to the deepest part of his mind can he maintain a normal state of thinking.

"I like it very much." He heard his own voice reply.He saw the slight curve on the man's lips.Very shallow and small, but so obvious.

A smile affects the muscles of the entire face.Even if it is just a state of preparation, it can still leave traces.

Where is the producer?This actor came in through the back door.

Photographic memory is a powerful and terrifying talent.Especially when the person with this talent is a director who plays all kinds of good shows in front of him almost every day.

He Haixu let him understand the struggle at the grassroots level, what about this person?What will it bring him?

Chi Zhe smiled brighter.

Chi Ran never liked to fight unprepared battles. When she spread everything in front of her, she had already started the layout.

This is the second experience she gave herself.

Lu Wei was indeed a little overjoyed today, the approval has come down, and his father's old person has also been contacted.Just waiting for the results of the scientific examination, he will be able to ascend to the sky in one step.Therefore, it is inevitable that young people can't help but leak some traces.

He looked at the smirking boy opposite, and couldn't help showing a hint of sarcasm.

Just such a thing, just because of his birth, just because of his parents, if there is no accident, he will always step on his head.

His eyes were cold.

He naturally knew that Chi Zhe was just the son of Chi Yiqing, one of the four juniors of the Chi family, and his treatment was still much worse than that of the only heirs of those aristocratic families in Kyoto.But who let him know only this one?

Although Lu Wei showed his thoughts a little, he was never a fool.What he had learned from his second-bedroom mother who had changed from a boat lady to a house-wrenching mother was patience.The road has to be walked step by step, and Chi Zhe will be the nearest ladder to him.His target at this stage is him.

Especially after getting the news that the girl he couldn't see through was just using his younger brother as a puppet.

How pathetic.

He looked at Chi Zhe with pity and mockery in his eyes.

You brought it on yourself.Believe that your sister who is a competitor with you, ran to be a little director.

Sad guy.

Thinking of Chi Zhe, who held an inappropriate example and respected Chi Ran that day, Lu Wei sighed.

He didn't care about the person in front of him, and stayed by his side, just to show his gratitude and get more news.

As a playboy, He Haixu is actually quite a magical existence.For example, rather than spending a lot of money on flowers and gifts, he prefers to pretend to be a good family man who always breaks up with others due to accidents.On the one hand, this is because his father's position needs to be low-key, and on the other hand, it is because his skill points were completely wrong when he was born.
