Chapter 90
Because Xi Siyan needed to recuperate from his injuries, Chen Mo actually stayed at the Xi family.
I went to work as usual on Monday, and when I came back in the evening, Xiaolin picked me up and dropped me off.
His status in the Xi family was somewhat subtle, but he rarely participated in the Xi family's private gatherings with acquaintances, and his daily activities were limited to Xi Siyan's yard. So except for the first day of the car accident, the Xi family rarely saw him.
This also led to mixed opinions among the Xi family's side relatives about his existence.
"Ah Yan." In the reception room, the brothers of the old man's generation said to Xi Siyan, who was sitting in a pearwood chair, "You have taken over most of the affairs of the Xi family now, so you have to pay attention to your own personal affairs."
Xi Siyan leaned against a soft pillow, with two buttons of his shirt collar unbuttoned, looking like he was really recovering from his illness. He asked casually, "I wonder what personal matter the elders are referring to?"
"Of course it's your spouse, your future marriage." Another elderly man with gray hair said seriously, "Everyone has seen your achievements in the past few years. We have watched you grow up and know that you have been steady since childhood. We old guys have no worries about handing the Xi family over to you. But for this matter, you can't do whatever you want. No matter how much the old man dotes on you, we can't sit idly by and watch this major event related to the future of the Xi family."
Xi Siyan didn't show any expression, so he continued to ask, "So what do you mean?"
"Being with a man is not a long-term solution after all, it's better to break up as soon as possible."
Xi Siyan suddenly chuckled.
The old men looked at each other in amazement at the laughter.
Some people may think it is too straightforward, and turn around: "It doesn't mean that you must never have any contact with each other. After all, the Yang family is not an ordinary family. It's just..."
"His last name is Chen." Xi Siyan interrupted.
In the quiet reception room, Xi Siyan slowly turned the porcelain cup in his hand, and his voice suddenly became colder, "The Xi family's old ideas should have been eliminated in your generation. Don't bother the elders to worry about my private life."
One of the old men stood up and said, "I think you have grown wings!"
There was a tap, the sound of the cup in Xi Siyan's hand knocking against the table.
He sat there with no intention of getting up, and said, "Whether it is right or not, you guys didn't make the judgment today. I'll just say this once. Whether Chen Mo lives here or not is my job, and it has nothing to do with the Xi family. Whether I have the decision-making qualifications to sit in this position today is not determined by whether I like men or women. You all have so much free time, why not educate your children more and avoid causing trouble outside. After all, there is a rule in the Xi family's ancestral precepts that illegitimate children cannot be included in the Xi family's property."
Finally, several old men left angrily.
He threatened that he must ask the old man for an explanation about this matter.
Han Gan suddenly appeared in the reception room, looked outside and said, "They just came here to test the old man's words because he has loosened up on this matter. Five years ago, when you went abroad, they put their people in key positions. Now that they can't stir up any trouble, they can only use this to show their status in the family. You can just say a few perfunctory words. It's just asking for trouble to offend them."
Xi Siyan didn't respond, but just ordered: "Find a reason to remove their people privately."
"All of them?" Han Gan was slightly surprised. "Isn't that too harsh?"
Xi Siyan's eyes were frozen, "I don't need to talk to them. If they don't learn a lesson, they will inevitably overreach."
Han Gan took a deep breath.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Alright, but you've been so active these past two days. Do you know that rumors have started to spread among the insiders that this is your true nature? It's said that now that you've gained power, your true colors have been revealed."
Xi Siyan glanced over and asked, "What's your true identity?"
"I said you were crazy." Han Gan laughed as he spoke. Two seconds later, his smile faded slightly and he frowned. "But you've been obviously suppressing your emotions these past two days. I can see that. What's going on? Is it because Chen Mo goes to work during the day and you're lonely? And the reason you're cleaning up so suddenly is because of him, right?"
Xi Siyan pinched his brows and said nothing.
Han Gan: "Still having a headache?"
"Yeah." Xi Siyan closed his eyes, "Don't tell him."
Han Gan was a little worried and said, "I have to know what's wrong with your body, right? You didn't let anyone in that night, including Chen Mo. You still have headaches after such a long time. If things go on for a long time, people will spread rumors that you have a crazy head disease or something. He's not blind, he will find out sooner or later, and why are you hiding it from him?"
That night, he himself was in a state of confusion, and he didn't want to arouse Chen Mo's suspicion in that state.
But in the second half of the night, Chen Mo came by himself.
Xi Siyan hid the most important part from Han Gan and said, "The aftereffects of the explosion may take a few days to heal. And I didn't mean to hide it from him, it's just that the timing is not right now."
Han Gan reacted and hesitated: "Mr. Yang..."
"Yeah." Xi Siyan nodded. "Just because he didn't say it doesn't mean he doesn't care."
There did seem to be something wrong with Chen Mo's attendance at the banquet these two days.
He wanted to ask, but he didn't find the right time. Besides, the second phase of the new project had already started, and as the leader, he had a lot of things to do. Even though Xi Siyan was injured, he was busy every day.
The only time Chen Mo could spare was to watch him change the dressings every night.
"Come here." That night, Chen Mo had just come out of the shower when Xi Siyan handed him the medicine box.
Chen Mo paused while wiping his hair and asked, "The doctor won't come tonight?"
Xi Siyan nodded.
Chen Mo did not refuse and took the medicine box and put it aside.
He was still wearing his bathrobe, and came closer, all wet, and started to unbutton Xi Siyan's clothes.
Xi Siyan supported himself on the bed with both hands, staring at Chen Mo intently. Chen Mo raised his eyes and looked at him, unconsciously slowing down the movement of unbuttoning his shirt.
When they kissed without warning, Chen Mo finally remembered to remind them: "Change the dressing."
"Yeah." As Xi Siyan pressed him down on the bed, he whispered, "Wait a moment."
They didn't go further.
Just a kiss.
Chen Mo was afraid of touching the wound on his back, so he let the man above him do whatever he wanted. Xi Siyan's kiss became deeper, and his hand moved down along Chen Mo's neck and slid into his pajamas.
Chen Mo has many scars on his body, most of which were left when he was young. Some of them have faded over time. But every time they are intimate, Xi Siyan always lingers on these marks, and at that time he will be as gentle as possible.
Something was different tonight.
The skin in areas where scars can be left is generally sensitive.
He "punished" Chen Mo's body, from light kisses to light bites, with the feeling of wanting to cover up those scars in his own way.
Punishment was Chen Mo's definition. As the numbing sensation continued to attack his scalp, Chen Mo's breathing soon became unstable and he started to react.
He stopped her, "Xi Siyan."
"Um."
"Okay, that's enough, it's time for you to take your medicine."
…
"Xi Siyan. You are still injured."
…
"Xi Siyan."
After several unsuccessful attempts to stop him, Chen Mo was forced to retreat with his robe half-open until he hit the head of the bed. Xi Siyan caught up with him, and Chen Mo could not find an outlet for his desire, nor could he escape. Finally, he closed his eyes and ran into the front in an unbearable and desperate posture.
Xi Siyan noticed it immediately, smiled with the corners of his mouth curled, stood up and leaned close to his ear and whispered hoarsely: "Well done, baby, keep going, please yourself and show me."
The word "baby" was what Chen Mo had typed when teasing him on the phone before.
Putting it in this situation, Chen Mo's face turned red all of a sudden, especially when Xi Siyan bit his ear skillfully, Chen Mo couldn't help but groan.
Chen Mo really rarely does this.
Especially under the one-sided gaze of another person, it seems like a pornographic performance.
The shame plus another kind of secret pleasure he had never experienced before broke all his previous cognition. From slow to fast, from implicit to unrestrained, the beast of desire that was about to burst out from under Xi Siyan's calmness bit his throat in the air, and Chen Mo was completely ignited.
The gradually unbridled sounds, the twisting body, the messy quilt.
The moment it ended, my mind went blank.
After a few seconds, he leaned over and grabbed the bed sheet underneath, burying his head in curses: "Fuck."
I don't know how I got so excited that it turned into this.
Xi Siyan leaned down.
Hugging him, she whispered, "Very beautiful."
Using beautiful as a word to describe a man was the only word Xi Siyan could think of at the moment.
Fresh, unique, the Chen Mo that only he had seen.
Xi Siyan's reaction was also very big, and Chen Mo had noticed it a long time ago, but he didn't let Chen Mo do anything and went to the bathroom himself.
It was just a dose of medicine, but it ended up like this.
Chen Mo attributed this to his youthful body. His desires and energy seemed inexhaustible. Once the floodgates were opened, every move of the person he loved could become a fuse.
After Xi Siyan came out, Chen Mo carefully changed the medicine for him.
When the two of them finished cleaning up and lay down on the bed, Chen Mo realized the benefits of venting. After all, he had too many things to do recently and rarely had the chance to fall asleep smoothly. Now, after lying down for only a short while, sleepiness quickly came over him.
When he was half asleep and half awake, Xi Siyan asked him from behind: "Is it tomorrow?"
Chen Mo opened his eyes in the darkness.
After a long time, he said "hmm".
At the same time, he turned around and faced Xi Siyan, who touched his back and said, "I'll stay with you. Let's sleep. I'll hold you while you sleep."
"Okay." Chen Mo lowered his head and said nothing more.
The next day at ten o'clock in the morning.
Chen Mo finished his morning meeting at the company and then drove to the hospital by himself.
He was wearing a suit and holding documents that had to be processed as soon as possible.
As soon as I arrived at the hospital and got out of the car, I heard a burst of ridicule.
"It's really a big deal now. We, the elders, are waiting for you here together." She is the grandfather's only daughter and Chen Mo's nominal aunt.
Chen Mo glanced at her coldly without saying anything, but she was immediately irritated and jumped out and shouted, "Besides, you are killing people, don't you know that? I just don't understand why the old man would fall in love with a grandson who was raised in the countryside and leave all the good things to you, but you pull out the tube? You are such a ruthless person..."
"Shut up!" Yang Zhi interrupted, unable to bear it any longer. "That was the doctor's advice. Grandpa's current condition will only increase his pain. Aunt, please think before you speak."
The woman stared at him, as if she was afraid of Yang Zhi's position in the group, and did not continue.
"That's quite light-hearted of you to say." My aunt's husband followed up with a sarcasm, and turned to Yang Qi'an and his wife and said, "Third brother and third sister-in-law really raised filial sons. One son is in jail, and now the remaining two are of one mind. I don't know what the future will be like when you are old. At least, the two children in our family are not so hard-hearted."
More than a dozen people from the Yang family also came here. Most of them looked as if they were staying out of the matter. When Chen Mo thought about letting these people decide whether his grandfather should stay or go, he felt really sick.
He had already prepared himself for Yang Qi'an and his wife to stand on the side of the rest of the Yang family and take the lead in stopping them, but the result surprised him.
Zhou Yaoqiong spoke first, calling her aunt by her nickname, "The old man trusts Xiaomo because Xiaomo has been with him for the past few years. It's not your turn to judge. You can't just say unpleasant things and ignore Dad's wishes just because your husband's brother was fired by my eldest son."
My aunt and her husband were choked and looked grim.
As the former chairman of Yang Corporation, Yang Qi'an still has some say among his brothers and sisters. Now, regarding family affairs, he looked at his eldest son, then at Chen Mo, and after a few seconds, he said, "Don't pay attention to your aunt. We have actually discussed it. Just do as you think."
Chen Mo nodded indifferently.
Turn around and walk towards the hospital.
I heard two uncles arguing behind me.
"Did Dad really say that there's no need for treatment? How old is Chen Mo? He's not a member of the Yang family anymore. What's the point of us all listening to him?"
"Then go and tell me yourself, what's the point of complaining to me?"
"You are just a coward. Isn't it just for the little thing in Chen Mo's hand? If his last name is not Yang, why don't you make him spit it out!"
Chen Mo paused and turned around on the stone steps.
Looking down at the people below.
He spoke slowly, "Whether you come today or not, this matter cannot be changed. I don't care who among you is, or what kind of selfish motives you have. Whether you hire a lawyer or go to court after today, I will accompany you. But at least don't let me hear you say that I don't mind my last name, but everyone present cares about the last name Yang. After all, the group's annual dividends are not small, so don't lose more than you gain."
The two uncles below turned red and white.
Unable to save face, he accused: "How can you talk to your elders like that? Are you threatening us?"
"That's right, what are your qualifications?"
Chen Mo had a blank expression on his face. "Whether I am qualified or not, I will know after trying."
At this moment, three cars drove quickly from the side of the road.
Chen Mo assumed that the front car was owned by Xi Siyan, and sure enough, he got out of the car quickly.
The Yang family fell silent, somewhat surprised.
After all, the relationship between the Xi and Yang families has become increasingly distant over the years. If it weren't for the previous UA crisis, the two families would have had little business dealings.
Now someone from the Xi family has appeared, and it’s the new heir Xi Siyan.
This surprise reached its peak when I saw Xi Siyan turn around and go to a car behind, from which an old man with completely white hair got out.
Xi Siyan supported Old Master Xi and stood there. Xi Siyan said, "Let's see Grandpa Yang off."
Chen Mo knew what he was saying to himself, it was not surprising that a lifelong friendship between old people would appear.
It was the Yang family who were surprised. They were surprised why Chen Mo seemed to have an unusual relationship with the Xi family after their relationship became distant.
The Yang family quickly went over to greet them.
Greetings one by one.
The old man responded with a few casual words, and finally took the initiative to walk up to Chen Mo, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Let me talk to your grandfather for a while. He has lived a decent life, and he should die in a decent way. Good boy, you have done a good job, and your grandfather will be pleased."
Chen Mo looked at the old man, nodded and said, "Thank you."
No matter who saw the scene in the hospital that day, they would have to say that the old man was blessed.
Many people came, crying and wailing, and it seemed that even the hardest-hearted people's tears became sincere and touching at the last critical moment.
Only Chen Mo remained silent from beginning to end.
Looking at the old man's skinny body, Chen Mo felt even more depressed. At the same time, he told himself that although the decision was difficult, he knew that there was nothing right or wrong in this farewell.
What followed was a non-stop funeral procession.
It was a happy funeral for my grandfather at his age, as he had made countless old friends and relatives throughout his life. The Yang brothers had a rare and unanimous opinion on this matter, and they had to hold a grand funeral.
Chen Mo moved into the house where his grandfather lived before his death, and stayed to sort out his grandfather's belongings, without participating in the entire process.
Among the relics, Chen Mo saw the photos of the old man and himself taken on his birthday every year in recent years, which were kept separately and carefully placed. He also saw the notes left by the old man, such as: What did your grandson remind you of today? It was a bit long-winded. Such as: Don’t forget to tell Mrs. Zhang to save a midnight snack for Xiao Mo, he is working overtime today.
Most of them are actually related to myself.
Little by little, these years have become tangible.
The day we said goodbye was a rainy day.
Chen Mo was dressed in black.
People in the cemetery came and went, and most of them had left. Chen Mo, holding an umbrella, stood in front of the tombstone without moving.
He saw that his name was also written on the stone tablet, but it was not very conspicuous among the numerous descendants.
The raindrops hit the umbrella with a crackling sound.
When he noticed that there was another person around him, Chen Mo did not turn around, but just looked at the stone tablet and said: "I left the Yang family when I was in high school, but it was not until today that I really had no relationship with the Yang family."
Chen Mo suddenly felt like he wanted to talk. He didn't speak for a long time, which made his voice a little hoarse. He continued, "It's just that this process is longer than I thought, and more difficult than I imagined."
"You've been coping well, always." Xi Siyan affirmed. He reached out and took the umbrella from Chen Mo's hand, moved his umbrella halfway over Chen Mo's head, looked at him and said, "And your parents' attitude to restore the relationship is very clear. They are waiting for you at the foot of the mountain, but I know you don't want to, and I have already rejected it for you."
Chen Mo looked at him, "Do you have anything to ask?"
Xi Siyan threw away the extra umbrella.
The umbrella fell upside down and splashed into the mud, leaving it to be washed away by the rain, and gradually accumulated muddy water.
Xi Siyan looked at him for a long time and asked, "In your original life, had grandpa left a long time ago?" Chen Mo suddenly remembered that life that had long gone.
That self's fate was determined from birth. Life is like a long, wet rain, and there will never be a sunny day after the rain.
Even he himself, separated by reincarnation, was about to forget him.
I forgot how heavy the rain was on the day of the college entrance examination.
Forget the crowded back garden in the Yang family villa.
Forget the coldness of the Yang Group building.
I also forgot the original turning point of the road in Yuhuai Village.
"Yes." Chen Mo said.
Lightning split the sky and the rain got heavier.
All the abnormalities of Xi Siyan were explained.
Since he could start over, it didn't seem strange for him to know about this.
Chen Mo didn't even ask him the time. He walked forward, took the other umbrella from Xi Siyan's hand and put it down, exposing everything completely in broad daylight.
As the rain fell directly, Chen Mo looked at him and said, "Yes, he died of a cerebral infarction. He didn't suffer much and never went to the ICU. Xi Siyan...he still left after just three short years."
Xi Siyan's pierced heart could never heal.
The cold rain and the wind whistled through, leaving behind a scarred wasteland. That was a world where "Xi Siyan" could no longer find a person named Chen Mo, and it was also his lover who came here with scars all over his body.
How come we were still separated after those five years?
Obviously, things are different, but he is still left alone.
Xi Siyan hugged the man in the rain, grabbed his wet hair, squeezed his thin waist, and repeated over and over again: "It's not like losing your baby. Three years is not a short time. It won't happen again in the future."
Half an hour later.
The luxury car waiting at the foot of the mountain brought two people who were soaking wet.
Xiao Lin was so scared that he ran over with an umbrella in his hand, "Mr. Xi, Mr. Chen, my God, why are you so wet?"
Chen Mo opened the car door and pushed Xi Siyan in.
He frowned and said, "Get the clothes he usually puts in the trunk, and the medicine kit."
"Oh, right away!" Xiao Lin's scalp went numb when he thought of the large wound on Mr. Xi's back.
When he quickly got the things and ran to the front, he saw Mr. Xi pulling Mr. Chen's clothes, and Mr. Chen was also struggling, shouting angrily: "Xi Siyan, you are the one who is injured."
"It's almost ready." Xi Siyan continued with his work and reached out to the open car door, "Give it to me."
"...Oh, oh okay!" Kobayashi handed it over immediately.
He always felt that Mr. Xi was a little different.
It’s hard to put it into words specifically, but probably his control over the person in his arms has reached a level that cannot be refused.
Xiao Lin didn't dare to ask any more questions, nor did he dare to look at Mr. Chen's half-naked shoulders. He just closed the car door and ran away.
I just thought that this was a quarrel on the mountain? Mr. Chen will not suffer, right?
Everyone says that Mr. Xi has been in a bad mood recently.
