Shanglu's eyes were as sharp as a falcon, sensitively capturing the emotions on everyone's faces.

Xia Jinnan sighed beside him, and said, "I don't want to meddle in the Xia family's affairs."

Xue Jing's heart skipped a beat, "Jinnan, it's getting late today, you go back with Shang Lu first, if you have anything to say tomorrow..."

While speaking, her voice was already trembling with crying, this sensitive mother had already foreseen what her son was going to say, and tried in vain to hold back what he was about to say.

Xia Jinnan said in a faint voice, "Let's talk now, I'm too tired."

No one in the huge hall spoke anymore, even the sound of moving tables and chairs and light coughing disappeared. Everyone looked at him with burning eyes. Xia Jinnan closed his eyes and said, "Today, while everyone is here, You can also be a witness - I voluntarily give up all the properties of the Xia family."

"It's not a separation, I voluntarily severed ties with this family."

"None of anyone."

"I will not participate in all the decisions of the Xia family, and I will not succeed as the head of the family after a hundred years."

"I'm just me, and I have nothing to do with you."

The last sentence he said was: "Mom, I'm sorry."

The woman who had been domineering for half her life finally couldn't help sobbing in a low voice. They obviously didn't expect Xia Jinnan to come out like this, and they even took the initiative to withdraw and sever ties with the Xia family.

I was stunned for a moment.

Xia Zong was so frightened that he lost even the slightest bit of drowsiness. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Jin, Jinnan, what are you talking about? How can you just break this relationship? You are not young, don't say such things. Angry words!"

No matter how stupid Xia Yu was, he would not be so stupid as to help Xia Qingyue from the concubine's family, but because of Xia Jinnan's words, the delicate cooperative relationship between them was completely broken, "Hey! What's the matter? You can't just talk like this Say it! At worst, the third uncle doesn’t urge you to ask for the money!”

Xia Zi was also in a hurry, she just took advantage of the chaos to share a piece of the pie. Although she didn't like Xia Jinnan, at least it was fair for Xia Jinnan to share things. The old man has always been in poor health. Didn't all the business fall into Xia Qingyue's hands?

What can she get as a daughter of a foreign family?Xia Zi quickly said: "Yes, Jinnan, Auntie will just think that you are joking, don't say that in the future!"

Xia Zong said: "Yes, yes, yes, your fifth aunt is right, go back and have a good sleep, calm down."

Xia Jiaze was still afraid of Shang Lu's threat just now, so he glanced at Xia Qingyue.

Xia Qingyue, of course, wished Xia Jinnan would take the initiative to sever ties with the Xia family, but in terms of face, he still had to live with it, so he said in a deep voice, "You can't be rash about this."

Xia Jinnan raised his eyes, and said in a flat but firm tone: "I will ask someone to draw up the contract some other day. With this as proof, you can rest assured."

"Don't worry! I think you are farting!" Suddenly there was an angry roar from upstairs, and everyone followed the sound. Mr. Xia was sitting on the stairs with a wheelchair, and Uncle Liu was behind him. in a wheelchair.

Xia Qingyu was obviously very angry, and said: "You all think I'm dead?! What are you doing at night?"

Not to mention that Xia Qingyu's right to speak in this family is absolute, even when he is ill and his spirit is not as good as before, he is still daunting.

Xia Qingyue stood up and called out, "Brother."

Xia Qingyu said: "Remember that I am your elder brother!"

There was silence for a while, Xia Jinnan stepped forward to give his hand and called out, "Grandpa."

Xia Qingyu gave a "hmm" and asked, "What's going on? Want to separate?"

"No..." Xia Jinnan pursed her lips, "Grandpa, I am not filial."

Without saying a word, Xia Qingyu tapped him on the leg with a walking stick, "You bastard! It's against you!"

His stick was mixed with the anger accumulated in the past few days, and it hit Xia Jinnan's left leg with the sound of the wind. Xia Jinnan was staggered by him, and Mr. Xia said angrily: "Kneel down!"

Shang Lu originally wanted to help him, but Xia Jinnan blocked him. He knelt on his knees without saying a word, but his back was straight, and he knelt on the cold floor neither humble nor overbearing.

For a while, everything was quiet, only Xia Qingyu's heavy, angry breathing was left in the air.

Xia Jinnan's voice was clear and piercing, but the words he uttered were heart-wrenching: "The unfilial son Xia Jinnan voluntarily left the clan today, and his name will be removed from the genealogy, and the memorial tablet will not be placed in the clan hall. If he dares to have the property rights of the Xiao Xiang clan, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth. "

His words were sonorous, and his delicate face revealed a firmness that did not match his temperament.

Xue Jing fell to the ground and uttered a tiny whimper. Even Xia Qingyu, who had seen many storms and waves, was stunned and speechless.

Xia Jinnan grabbed the ground with his head and knocked heavily on the tiled floor. The black director reflected his slightly deformed eyebrows and eyes.Xia Jinnan straightened up and bowed again.

He prayed three times in a row, and when he knocked his forehead to the ground for the last time, he smiled wretchedly, and when he raised his head again, he felt a sense of vicissitudes.

Xia Jinnan stood up, the throbbing pain in his calf made him unable to stand upright, and his forehead also felt dull pain. Shanglu supported him, and the two walked side by side.

When passing the collapsed Xue Jing, Xia Jinnan brushed Shanglu's hand away, knelt down to help Xue Jing up, and said softly, "Mom, take care of yourself."

Xue Jing finally couldn't help crying loudly, she grabbed Xia Jinnan's sleeve and refused to get up, "Jinnan, Mom is not forcing you anymore, you can do whatever you want... Mom has lost her daughter and husband, and I can't lose you anymore It's gone!"

Xia Jinnan felt pain in his heart, and the old scars from several years ago were bloody uncovered time and time again, draining all the courage in his heart, but he couldn't back down.

He glanced at Shanglu who was staring behind him, turned his head hard and said, "If you miss me, you can come and see me."

He followed Xue Jing's cry, and her sobs seemed to come from hell, lingering in Xia Jinnan's ears.

Every step Xia Jinnan took felt like he was stepping on a spike with his bare feet, and he could hardly walk due to the pain.

Xia Qingyu's roar, Xue Jing's sobs, other people's screams, and scolding were all blocked by him behind him, and Shang Lu stayed by his side, blocking all the sorrows and worries for him.

The night was still quiet, and a door seemed to separate the two worlds. Xia Jinnan took one last look at the huge Xia family. Every building turned into a monster that could swallow people in the dark night, devouring his childhood happiness and freedom. do.

And now, he has finally escaped the cage that has bound him for more than twenty years.

I can't say how sad it is. Compared with being sad, it is more about the ease of regaining freedom.

The invisible burden that had been on him for more than twenty years was finally completely lifted.

Shang Lu asked him: "Will you regret it?"

"I don't know." Xia Jinnan looked at the dark courtyard, "Let's go."

……

Thousands of lights pass by outside the window, and no matter how deep the wound is, it will gradually heal with the passage of time.

Since returning from Xia's house that day, Shang Lu felt that something was different about Xia Jinnan.

I can't say anything specifically, but it has indeed changed a lot in the process of getting along.

For example, Xia Jinnan likes to watch movies when he is free. He is very picky when watching movies. If he watches thrillers, he can only watch suspense and thrillers. Seven or eight times I don't feel annoying.

Now you can watch any movie. After the broadcast, you can play it back. The quality of the movie is uneven. One day Shanglu came back from get off work and found Xia Jinnan sitting in front of the TV with a cat pillow, and there was a bad ghost movie on the screen. The female ghost with a red tongue was lying in front of the screen, as if she was about to pop out in the next second, her scribbled black hair wrapped around his neck, the female ghost had a ferocious expression on her face, and her empty eyes stared at him intently. Xia Jinnan.

Xia Jinnan's eyes were also empty, staring blankly at the female ghost while hugging the pillow.

Shanglu laughed, put down the things and leaned over to hug him.

He was still carrying the chill that hadn't dissipated when he came back, Xia Jinnan turned his head and smiled at him, "You're back?"

Shanglu buried his face on his shoulder, and let out a muffled hum: "Yeah."

Xia Jinnan raised his hand to touch the large dog in front of him, and found that his hair was slightly damp, "Is it snowing outside?"

"It's quite big..." Shanglu said, "Didn't you go out today?"

Xia Jinnan shook his head and said, "Go take a shower, I'll cook."

Shang Lulai refused to get up on him, Xia Jinnan laughed and asked, "Tired?"

Shang Lu said: "Well, it's the end of the year, and there's nothing to do after two days of busy work."

Xia Jinnan said: "Today is the 23rd, when are you going back?"

"Where are you going?" Shang Lu asked him.

"Go home..." Xia Jinnan said, "Don't you need to go home for the New Year?"

Shang Lu raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were full of overflowing pampering, and said, "Where else can I go when you are here?"

Xia Jinnan couldn't stand his flirtatious little love talk. He was very thin-skinned. After hearing what he said, he just smiled and said, "Don't make trouble. I'm serious with you. When do you plan to go back? Don't worry about me. , with Wang Ma here, I won't be hungry."

Shang Lu pinched his nose, and said dumbfoundedly: "No trouble, I'll be here during the Chinese New Year, and I won't go anywhere."

Xia Jinnan had never known about Shanglu's family situation, and seeing how he usually talked and handled affairs, he thought he was a noble son of some family, and he took it for granted that he was going home for the New Year. He was a little surprised when he heard the news. Slightly squinting his eyes, a faint wrinkle appeared on his brow: "Don't you need to go home?"

"No need..." Shanglu said, "I... am all alone."

Xia Jinnan understood. He originally thought that Shanglu's large family business was more or less based on family connections, but he didn't expect that it was achieved by one person's hard work.

Only then did he realize that he didn't know Shanglu at all. Apart from Fang Jin who was with him all day, he really didn't know any other friends around him, and he didn't know what kind of circle he was usually in contact with. I don't even know where he came from, what kind of family he has, where he grew up, and where he grew up.

He doesn't know anything.
