Clear stream

The immaculate tables are filled with exquisite dishes, and the atmosphere around them is not very pleasant.

Xi Qingxi straightened her back calmly, observing Xi Mu's reaction from the corner of her eye.

Xi Mu didn't suffer too much. On the second day after the accident, Mr. Xi sent someone to pick him up, and then he was locked in a room to think about his mistakes. He only let Xi Mu serve at the table today.

The thorns on his body seemed to be pulled out, and he looked sickly, like a defeated rooster.His gaze was erratic, but he just didn't look in Xi Qingxi's direction, presumably this accident caused him a lot of blows.

"What else do you want to say." Mr. Xi is old, but his momentum is not inferior to anyone, his voice is like a bell, and he is not angry.

Xi Mu was dumbfounded for a while, then said with little confidence: "Thank you father for saving me."

Mr. Xi frowned: "That's all?"

"No." Xi Mu hurriedly explained, "I should apologize to Xiao Xi." After finishing speaking, he solemnly stood up from his seat and bowed deeply to Xi Qingxi, "I'm sorry, I was infatuated for a while, but luckily Nothing happened to you."

Xi Qingxi snubbed him for a long time, then asked unhurriedly: "Is there nothing wrong with me?"

"Is this how you apologize?" Xi Qin interrupted Xi Mu mercilessly, staring straight at him, with a bad tone: "Fortunately nothing happened? It took me more than ten years to get rid of all the scars on Qingxi's body." , The car accident left him with scars, so it's nothing wrong?"

Xi Qin walked up to Xi Qingxi, pointed at his thigh, and raised his voice to ask: "Do you want to see how deep the gash on his leg is? If these large and small wounds appear on your son, you will probably follow him." I'll do my best."

Xi Mu simply smashed the jar and said, "Then what do you want me to do?"

Xi Qingxi said lightly: "Now it's not what we want you to do, but what grandpa wants you to do."

"Okay." Mr. Xi tapped the floor with his cane to stop the three of them from arguing, "Xi Mu, you're just stupid, you dare to attack your own nephew. Anyway, I didn't educate you well. From now on, You are no longer a part of the Xi family, you should move to live abroad."

Xi Mu was startled when he heard this, and then he shouted: "Dad?!"

"I've made up my mind, you guys will leave tomorrow." Old Man Xi glanced at him indifferently, "No matter what, Qingxi is the only heir I admit, and Xi Yao is still far behind."

Xi Qingxi took a sip of champagne, then raised the goblet to clink glasses.

The first round of the game is over.

This is the first time that Mr. Xi has acknowledged Xi Qingxi's status, and perhaps because of this, Xi Mu has always had unrealistic fantasies.

The next day, Xi Qin announced her resignation and completely handed over the company to Xi Qingxi. She withdrew gracefully and prepared to take Xiao Xianrou on a global tour.

Xi Qingxi put an end to his mind and was in a very happy mood.He planned to have a meal with his friends to reward them for their travels these days.He opened the address book, and his finger landed on Fang Ruogu's name.

Since the emergence of the new personality, Fang Ruogu has tried to avoid direct contact with him, fearing to repeat the same mistakes.Xi Qingxi told him that the new personality was a harmless child, but Fang Ruogu became even more panicked after hearing this.

"Is he only ten years old?"

"Correct."

Fang Ruogu smiled bitterly: "The little boy in the script is the real murderer who killed the other two personalities."

Counting it, Xi Qingxi hadn't seen him for a few days, and he didn't bother to contact Fang Ruogu, and the place was set at Lin Zhizhi's birthday hotel.

Qiu Ci arrived at the box first, and when he walked in, he picked up the water cup and drank tons of water.After drinking the water, he wiped his mouth, hooked Xi Qingxi's shoulder mysteriously, and said in a low voice, "Guess whether I brought you good news or bad news."

Xi Qingxi picked up his paw and threw it away without changing his face, and said, "If it's bad news, then don't do this business."

"Damn." Qiu Ci cursed, "I have worked hard without credit, and you have paid me by mistake after all."

A little impatience appeared between Xi Qingxi's eyebrows: "Say it quickly."

"During your disappearance, the driver who caused the accident was locked up in the detention center for three months. During this period, he appealed many times and was rejected every time. The court suddenly accepted the appeal application the day before yesterday, and the court can start tomorrow."

"It's hard work. Then you eat more, replenish your brain, and work hard tomorrow."

The two chatted for ten minutes, and Lin Zhizhi also came, and Zhou Feifei was with her.

Zhou Feifei obviously lost a lot of weight, her condition is not bad, her face is a little pale, and she doesn't seem to have a good rest.

"Is Miss Zhou better?" Xi Qingxi helped the two ladies pull out the chairs, with a concerned tone.

Zhou Feifei nodded and smiled: "It's much better." She hesitated for three seconds, then fixedly stared at Xi Qingxi, "Mr. Xi, what do you think of Qu Zhiyi?"

Xi Qingxi laughed dumbfounded: "Just say what Ms. Zhou wants to say."

Zhou Feifei bit her lip, "I went to visit Zhiyi yesterday, and she seems to be in good spirits."

Xi Qingxi frowned slightly.

"I don't understand why she is so happy. The environment she lives in is obviously so bad. There are eight people in a room, and the high temperature is close to 40 degrees Celsius, and there is no wind. What's more...she was sentenced to death."

Confusion appeared on Zhou Feifei's face: "I also saw her parents. My aunt fainted from crying in the reception room, and my uncle's eyes were also red."

"It's all my fault for not stopping her."

Xi Qingxi's voice suddenly sounded, a bit colder than the air-conditioning in the box: "Have you ever thought that this is her deliberate choice?"

He grew up according to the framework determined by his parents since he was a child. Once he exceeded the framework, his branches would be cut off.Living forever under the control of their parents, without a mind of their own, unable to afford the price of failure.Even without this incident, she would explode sooner or later.It was the family that made her, and it was the family that broke her.

The meal was not pleasant, Qiu Ci took care of Zhou Feifei's mood, so it was rare for him not to make jokes.Xi Qingxi can understand that if a friend kills someone in front of her, anyone will have a shadow.

After dinner, when the lights came on, Xi Qingxi took the subway home. When he walked downstairs, he saw warm yellow lights in the living room.He pursed his lips and walked upstairs at a leisurely pace.

Xi Qingxi opened the door calmly, and saw his head leaning on the sofa at a glance.Popcorn wagged its tail cheerfully and came forward to greet him, and the man turned his head slowly when he heard the movement.

After seeing each other after so many days, there was an illusion of ten thousand years.

"I miss you so much, I can't help but want to see you." Fang Ruogu wanted to move forward, but stopped in place again, his dark pupils reflected the color of the light, shining brightly.His lips moved, and his tone was full of grievances, "I'll leave after seeing you."

Xi Qingxi really didn't intend to keep Fang Ruogu for a night, he picked up the popcorn and sat on the sofa opposite Fang Ruogu, and said lazily: "Take time to go to the consulting room and see what the doctor has to say."

Fang Ruogu was like a puppy abandoned by his master, with his ears and tail drooping, he said in a muffled voice, "Well, then I'll go first, you take good care of yourself."

... - ...

In the early morning of the next day, Xi Qingxi got up early and took popcorn out for a walk. When he reached the entrance, his right eyelid twitched suddenly, and he felt an inexplicable feeling of discomfort in his heart.

"Buzzing—" the phone on the shoe cabinet rang, and the caller ID was Qiu Ci.

As soon as Xi Qingxi connected, an anxious and flustered voice came from inside: "The driver committed suicide!"
