In private room No. 1 of Century Tea House.
Zhou Qian was stirring the cup of sugar water in front of him out of boredom. Xia Yubin was sitting opposite him. He considerately put the fork on the fruit and pushed the fruit plate over to him.
"Qian, eat more blueberries, they are good for your eyes."
"You can't talk about anything on the phone. You have to come out." Zhou Qian had just undergone corneal surgery and his left eye was wrapped in gauze.
After Xia Qingshu was beaten and hospitalized last time, he and Xia Yubin never met in private again. Perhaps because it was too embarrassing, Zhou Qian did not go to school. The two usually contacted each other every day, but this time they avoided each other tacitly.
Xia Yubin forked a bunch of blueberries from the fruit plate and brought it to Zhou Qian's mouth, "Eat first, and then talk slowly after you finish."
Zhou Qian suffered a great loss in the Xia Qingshu incident. First he was detained for a day and a night, then he had to apologize in silence and pay a huge amount of compensation. Under the influence of the Zhou family, the school only gave him a serious warning and did not expel him. However, after such a big embarrassment, he was too embarrassed to continue going to school. With the excuse of corneal surgery, Zhou Qian chose to drop out of school. After his eyes healed, he would go abroad to find a new school and come back after a few years.
Compared to Zhou Qian's embarrassment, Xia Yubin stayed out of it. He promised to bear the other 25 million, but now there is no sign of him. Although 50 million is not a lot for the Zhou family, he still feels a little aggrieved to have to bear it all by himself.
After all, Xia Yubin was his friend for many years. When the other party showed an attitude of peace, Zhou Qian also had a way out. He glanced at the blueberries that were brought to his mouth, smacked his lips, and ate them anyway.
Seeing that the other party's attitude was not as tough as before, Xia Yubin said, "Xia Qingshu is our biological child."
Zhou Qian was stunned, and pulled the wound on his left eye, hissing in pain, "What did you say?!"
Xia Yubin gritted his teeth, clenched his hands, and nodded at Zhou Qian, "My parents said that in order to let him go home, they have to send me away."
Zhou Qian held his forehead and shouted indignantly, "How could uncle and aunt be like this?! Don't they love you the most?!"
Seeing that the other party was really feeling sorry for him, Xia Yubin choked up a little, "Xia Qingshu said that you and I teamed up to bully him, and he wanted to confront you. If I had any part in bullying him, he would ask my parents to cut off relations with me, and also ask me to apologize to him in front of the whole school."
Zhou Qian said angrily, "Let him confront me. I am not the kind of person who would betray my friends!"
Xia Yubin squeezed out a smile from his sad face, his eyes filled with tears, "Qian, thank you, you are still the best to me."
"When did they recognize each other?" The Zhou family and the Xia family were old friends. They knew that the Xia family was looking for a child, but they didn't expect that the child was actually Xia Qingshu.
Zhou Qian leaned his legs against the table legs, shaking faster and faster. "Although we are blood relatives, we haven't seen each other for so many years. I don't believe that we have such a deep relationship. How could they be so partial? Doesn't Brother Xia Ji love you the most? What did he say?"
"My second brother is on a business trip and hasn't come back yet." Xia Yubin had a sad face, but his tone was still neither slow nor fast. "Xia Qingshu has many demands, and my parents listen to everything. My eldest brother is also more partial to him. Now he is refusing to come back because of Qiao."
After listening to the other party's description, Zhou Qian was no longer as angry as he was at the beginning. Instead, he laughed and said, "He will be scolded by Uncle Xia within a month after returning to the Xia family."
Although Zhou Qian is a lawless bully, he is very well-behaved in front of his elders. Among the four major families of Chen, Zhou, He and Xia, the Xia family has the most rules.
Zhou Qian finished speaking and waved to Xia Yubin, "I know his secret."
Xia Yubin's eyes lit up and he put his ear closer.
Zhou Qian smiled evilly, "Xia Qingshu and Chen Zhiyu are not clean."
Xia Yubin was shocked.
How is that possible? ! !
Chen Zhiyu should obviously like him!
In her previous life, Chen Zhiyu remained chaste for him, maintained a polite social distance with everyone, and observed etiquette. Even though he loved her deeply, he strictly followed the principle of marriage before sex. The principle of love has never crossed the line with him.
How could such a celibate and conservative person be with a mentally retarded person...
Absolutely impossible! !
"You think we are stupid and we easily compensated him 50 million. If Chen Zhiyu hadn't intervened, I wouldn't have given him a penny... We didn't get any meat, and we got into trouble!"
Zhou Qian didn't notice Xia Yubin's strangeness. He was immersed in his own thoughts and kept chattering, "My brother said that Xia Qingshu must have been kept by Chen Zhiyu. No wonder he acted like a chaste and loyal husband in front of me. In fact, he was just a slut who was played around with. Just think about how he looked. How could a normal person be like him? With spring water in his eyes and a seductive look on his face, I get hard just thinking about it... If Uncle Xia knew about it, I wouldn't know whether he would recognize him or not... Yubin, did you listen to me?"
Xia Yubin came back to his senses and said, "I'm listening. Go ahead and talk."
Zhou Qian smiled evilly, "In my opinion, find an opportunity to let Uncle Xia and Aunt Chen know about his relationship with Chen Zhiyu."
Xia Yubin hesitated, "Are you sure they...?"
Zhou Qian: "Of course, you didn't see how Chen Zhiyu looked when he saw him. His eyes were glued to him. If it wasn't for Chen Zhiyu, would I let him go?! I could fuck him so hard that he couldn't get out of bed!"
Xia Yubin bit his lips, "How could Chen Zhiyu like him? He is so stupid, speaks harshly, and doesn't understand romance..."
Zhou Qian interrupted him: "It's this kind of pretty little hot chili that's exciting to fuck. She's soft, weak, and stubborn... Don't worry about how they got together. Find a chance to reveal this."
"Oh." Xia Yubin nodded, then hesitated again, "Then the 25 million..."
"No, that won't work. I can't make the decision." Zhou Qian waved his hands quickly. Because of the huge compensation, his pocket money was deducted and his favorite sports car was taken back, so he has been behaving very low-key at home recently. Zhou Chuan said that Xia Yubin must bear half the responsibility for this matter and should not be the only one to take the scapegoat.
Xia Yubin said calmly, "Qian, it's not that I won't give it to him. If I did, wouldn't it prove that I'm bullying him too? You talk to Brother Zhou Chuan and ask him to slow down a bit. When his parents get tired of him, he will be at your mercy by then."
Zhou Qian thought about it and nodded.
~
In private room No. 2 of Century Teahouse, Mother Chen and He Chen sat together.
He Chen was playing games on his phone, "Aunt, what are you looking for Xia Qingshu for?"
Mother Chen heard that Xia Qingshu and He Chen were classmates. She was afraid that calling him directly to ask him to come out would be too abrupt, so she asked He Chen to help act as a go-between. "I have something to ask him. Can you tell me what kind of person Xia Qingshu is?"
I heard that after spending a night in the hotel, Zhiyu went to the school to look for Xia Qingshu several times.
At first, Mother Chen didn't care much.
After all, Zhiyu is famous for his strong self-control, self-discipline, and lack of desires.
Unexpectedly, Xia Qingshu actually entered the group company for internship and went directly to the secretariat.
You know, the secretary of the Chen Group can personally communicate with Zhiyu. He is the position closest to the president in the entire group company and can be said to be under the feet of the emperor.
Without Zhiyu's approval, Xia Qingshu would never be able to be parachuted into the secretariat. An intern from a university could only do odd jobs at the front desk at most.
From this, it can be seen that Zhiyu is more or less concerned about Xia Qingshu.
She had two purposes for meeting Xia Qingshu. First, to remind him that there was a huge gap between their families. Zhiyu had been the only son in nine generations and was destined to marry a woman to continue the family line. This would give him the idea of marrying into a wealthy family.
Second, she had seen Xia Qingshu's photo and had done a simple investigation on him - he looked good, but what rich families have the most is a beautiful appearance. I don’t know what kind of interesting soul the other person has to deserve Zhiyu’s favor.
It would be best to analyze Xia Qingshu to find out Zhiyu's preferences and pass on some experience to the daughter-in-law she has chosen.
He Chen didn't know why his aunt wanted to see Xia Qingshu, so he said casually, "He's silly and doesn't look very smart."
Not knowing what he was thinking of, He Chen lowered his head and smiled, "He likes me."
Mother Chen was shocked: "How is it possible, he likes Zhiyu!"
Xia Qingshu pesters Zhiyu, hoping to become a phoenix and marry into the Chen family.
She has seen many people who approach Zhiyu with ulterior motives.
She was absolutely certain that Xia Qingshu was also such a person.
He Chen's hand slipped and he was hit by the opponent's big move. He received a box lunch. He looked up and argued, "All the classmates in our class know that he publicly confessed to me and pestered me. If you don't believe me, go to our school and ask around."
"What the hell is going on? Is he still a sea king?!"
Mother Chen was a little annoyed that there was such a person who played with Zhiyu's feelings. Her first impression of Xia Qingshu plummeted.
Such people must be sent away no matter what the cost.
He Chen smiled indifferently, "I rejected him."
Mother Chen was a little unhappy again. Why would Zhiyu pick up something that others don’t want?
She turned to look at her eldest nephew. In her eyes, He Chen had always been a young boy, but after taking such a close look, she realized that he had grown so big.
He is handsome and has 30% similarity to Zhiyu, but his looks are still 70% inferior to Zhiyu.
Mother Chen: "So he liked you before, but now he likes Zhiyu."
She liked it so much that she was forced to take action as a mother.
"I've seen him pestering Brother Zhiyu." He Chen put away his phone and snorted, "It's not the Sea King. I think he just wants to make me...jealous."
With just one simple sentence, Xia Qingshu denied her love for Zhiyu.
Not knowing what he was thinking of, He Chen smiled and said, "Don't look at him as silly, he has a lot of tricks."
Mother Chen was a little bit unbelieving and thought that her nephew was too confident.
In order to make you jealous, I can roll into Zhiyu's bed.
Is it possible?
The two were about to have a heated discussion about who Xia Qingshu liked when the waiter opened the door and Xia Qingshu appeared at the door.
He was wearing a simple white T-shirt, which was a bit too big for him. His thin body was wrapped in the loose clothes, making him look indescribably thin and lonely.
In order to meet Mother Chen, Xia Qingshu dressed up specially to make herself look like a dodder flower with strong vitality.
It looks weak, but it is extremely resilient. If you are not careful, it will be entangled with the opponent until old age, and it is difficult to eradicate it.
Unless you give money.
Mother Chen looked up and their eyes met. Their silky gazes created sparks in the air and Xia Qingshu seemed to hear a crackling sound.
"Auntie, hello." Xia Qingshu pretended to retreat, showed weakness first, lowered his head and said hello.
"Hello, classmate Xia." Mother Chen's sitting posture was very dignified and elegant, like the old Buddha in the deep palace.
She turned her head to look at He Chen, "Ah Chen, please go out first. I want to talk to classmate Xia alone."
He Chen stood up and glanced at Xia Qingshu nonchalantly, "I'm next door. I'll come over after you guys finish talking."
After He Chen left, Chen's mother raised her hand and said, "Xia, please sit down. I ordered Tieguanyin. Are you used to it?"
When she raised her hand, the huge sapphire diamond ring on her finger emitted a dazzling light.
Xia Qingshu glanced at Mother Chen, and it was obvious that the other party was also well prepared.
Mother Chen is in very good condition and looks to be in her early forties. She is wearing a Chanel suit that highlights her elegance as a lady. The diamond necklace, bracelet and ring on her neck are a set, which are very expensive and she exudes the smell of money.
"Auntie, why did you call me here? Is there something wrong?" Xia Qingshu's eyes fell on the Hermès bag next to Mother Chen.
This bag is not big, it is a medium size bag. If you put cash in it, it can't even hold 100,000 yuan. And it seems that the bag is not full, so it must be bank cards or checks.
"Student Xia, I'll be frank with you." Mother Chen looked at Xia Qingshu carefully.
Her skin is fair and tender. Unlike those who rely on medical cosmetic surgery to achieve the desired effect, Xia Qingshu's face is naturally so tender that you can squeeze water out of it.
She looks quiet and pretty, and doesn't seem like someone who would cause trouble.
If she were a few decades younger, she would also like this type of boy.
Why isn't she a woman?
Alas, what a pity.
Mother Chen's thoughts were racing.
Originally, he wanted to ask Xia Qingshu to stop bothering Chen Zhiyu, but after hearing what He Chen said, he hesitated. Fearing she was being too sentimental, Mother Chen asked, "I heard you like... Zhiyu?"
Xia Qingshu put his legs together and nodded.
"I heard that you also like my eldest nephew?" Seeing the other party's puzzled expression, Mother Chen explained, "It's He Chen."
Xia Qingshu shook his head: "I don't like it."
"Really?!" Mother Chen was actually quite happy when she heard the answer.
Sure enough, such a handsome boy should like Zhiyu.
Mother Chen asked again, "Then what happened when you confessed to He Chen in public before?"
Xia Qingshu became alert.
How did the topic get to He Chen?
Shouldn't the following process be to ask him how much he likes Chen Zhiyu, and then he says he likes him so much that he would never break up with him until the mountains are gone and the sky and the earth are united, and then Chen's mother starts throwing checks at him, and he is reluctant at first, but in the end the checks get bigger and bigger and he is finally forced to compromise...?
"I, I don't remember." Xia Qingshu quickly evaded the question, tilted his head and thought for a moment, then answered softly, "I don't like He Chen. Although He Chen is also very good, the only person I like from beginning to end is Mr. Chen."
He thought he had made himself clear, but his pretty, soft look and his gentle, hesitant tone always made it easy for people to imagine things.
Mother Chen stared at him for a while, then suddenly realized: "You actually used Achen as a substitute!"
Xia Qingshu: “…?”
Mother Chen: "I can't believe you would do such a thing for Zhiyu!"
He Chen and Chen Zhiyu are cousins. They have some similarities in their eyebrows. When they were taken out as children, people said they looked like real brothers.
The more Mother Chen thought about it, the more she felt that she was right.
His poor nephew, who had seemed so smug at first, suddenly became a substitute.
Xia Qingshu: “…”
If you say so, then it is. Can I get extra money for this?
Mother Chen covered her chest with her hands, her chest rising and falling due to her heavy breathing.
He Chen, who had his ear pressed against the wall in the cubicle, said: "......"
substitute? ! He turned out to be a stand-in!
That fool used him as a substitute! !
“Bang!”
A cup was broken in the next cubicle.
Xia Qingshu glanced toward the door and blinked.
This He Chen is handsome and tall, but he can actually eavesdrop!
You can’t judge a book by its cover!
Mother Chen took a few deep breaths and calmed herself down. "Because Zhiyu was too far away from you, you approached Achen. Unexpectedly, by chance, you had the opportunity to get close to Zhiyu, and then you gave up Achen."
Xia Qingshu: “…”
Auntie, you must have read a lot of melodramatic novels...
Mother Chen sighed, "Achen is so pitiful!"
Xia Qingshu: “…”
Your eldest nephew is really pitiful. He was a good person, but in your mouth he suddenly became a substitute.
He Chen: “…”
Suddenly I felt a chill all over my body. Although I didn't do anything, I felt sad as if I was abandoned by a scumbag.
Xia Qingshu raised his head, his mysterious eyes were a mixture of regret, unwillingness and struggle, and his longing for his lover was portrayed vividly by him.
"Auntie, please forgive me. This has nothing to do with Zhiyu. It's all my fault. I got too deeply involved..."
Xia Qingshu's palm-sized face was tense, her eyes were tearful, but she was very determined, "But I will never let go."
His eyes revealed three parts love, three parts tenderness and four parts determination, just like a water lily swaying in the wind and rain, regardless of the wind and rain and the waves, but still sticking to his heart, so stubborn that it makes people feel distressed.
Seeing this, Mother Chen actually felt a little soft-hearted.
"I know my son is too good, no one can control him." Mother Chen said helplessly, "But my Zhiyu's status is different, and we must have a son to carry on the bloodline. Our Chen family has a huge fortune, countless high-end shopping malls across the country, and even most of the courtyards under the imperial city belong to us... There are also countless Qing Dynasty porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, and weapons from the Warring States Period... Each of them is priceless, and someone has to inherit it..."
Xia Qingshu: ...
Are you here to persuade people to quit, or to show off your wealth in Versailles?
Xia Qingshu pretended to be extremely shocked when he heard Mother Chen listing the collections at home. After half an hour, he felt sleepy.
While he was in a trance, he saw Mother Chen take the Hermès bag and reach into it.
Xia Qingshu gripped his toes and became more alert. Is it finally going to begin?
Mother Chen took out a tablet.
Oh my god, I have to scan the QR code to pay.
Xia Qingshu reached into his jeans bag, typed in the password to unlock it, and opened the payment QR code.
Wait, that easy? ! Should I hire a lawyer to ask the other party to write a gift contract or something, otherwise I will be sued for blackmail...
Mother Chen unlocked the tablet, clicked on the photo gallery, and pulled Xia Qingshu, "Look, this is our family's gold mine, this is the courtyard, this pair of gilded double-eared plum bottles are national treasures, which were used by Emperor Kangxi, and this bronze turtle, from the Warring States Period..."
Xia Qingshu: ...
He was young and had read few books, so it was the first time he saw someone being treated to pictures instead of money.
He yawned, his mouth itching a little, "Auntie, what if Mr. Chen can't give birth to a son?"
Mother Chen's display of wealth was interrupted and she frowned, "How is that possible? Zhiyu just doesn't want to. If he wants to, having seven or eight children is no problem."
She stroked the tablet with her hands and smiled nonchalantly, "Aren't you the one who knows best whether the baby can be born or not?"
Xia Qingshu: “!?”
He has never given birth, so how could he know? He has no idea at all.
Seeing that the other party was silent, Mother Chen raised her head and gave the other party an expression that said "Are you pretending to be a virgin while pregnant?"
Her beautiful eyes rolled back and forth, and Xia Qingshu lowered her head and pinched her fingers, "Auntie, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
"We are all adults, there is nothing we don't understand." Mother Chen put down the tablet, pinched the gem ring on her finger, and spoke frankly, "Then let me ask you, who did you sleep with on the night of August 4th? What did you do?"
"That day with Mr. Chen..." Xia Qingshu's cheeks flushed, and she was very shy, "But we didn't do anything, we just slept normally."
Mother Chen smiled faintly and responded with two "hehe"s to show that she didn't believe it.
Xia Qingshu had firmly denied what happened that night in front of Chen Zhiyu, and it was even more impossible for him to admit it in front of his mother now.
He once again offered his "Shou Gong Sha", "Auntie, look at this mole, it has a great origin."
When Mother Chen heard the story about the toad's blood, her eyelids twitched, and she was too lazy to refute that it was fake.
But Xia Qingshu didn't look like he was lying.
Logically speaking, Xia Qingshu was madly infatuated with Zhiyu and was eager to get close to Zhiyu. How could she hide the fact that she had a relationship with Zhiyu? She would definitely publicize it to drive away other suitors around Zhiyu.
However, Xia Qingshu stubbornly denied...
Mother Chen looked at Xia Qingshu suspiciously for countless times, but still couldn't find any flaws in his expression...
A tiny seed sprouted in Mother Chen's heart. She calmed herself down and asked, "You just slept that night and didn't do anything?!"
"Uh-huh."
"Did you feel anything strange when you woke up? Like a sense of embedded soreness in some part of your body?"
"No, I slept very well and slept till dawn."
"Then why was it that when you came out of the room... your waist was so weak that you couldn't straighten up, and your legs and feet were shaking?"
"The bed is too soft. I can't sleep well and that's why my back hurts."
Xia Qingshu tilted his head with an innocent look on his face, indicating that he had no idea what Mother Chen was talking about.
Mother Chen became nervous. She heard that Xia Qingshu was not very smart. Even if he was completely stupid, he should know the answer after having done that kind of thing.
Afterwards she did a special investigation and found several broken condoms in the room.
That night, at least several times.
It would be understandable if he didn't know about it only once, but it happened several times, how is that possible? !
"You didn't do... bad things?"
"No."
"You don't feel anything at all?!"
"Absolutely no feeling at all."
Mother Chen's face turned from red to white, then to white to blue, gradually losing its color.
Those condoms seem to be useful, but in fact they are useless...
Could it be that his Zhiyu has a hidden illness?
Mother Chen closed her eyes and thought——
——Zhiyu has always been abstinent and conservative. In recent years, he has become more and more disgusted with blind dates. He never mentions the matter of having a son to inherit the family business. When it comes to it, he gets a cold face and doesn't even give his mother face.
Others said that Zhiyu was determined and not susceptible to temptation. Even if a peerless beauty took off her clothes and lay on his bed, and he was drugged, he could still drive her away without batting an eyelid, and then change the bed sheets himself, and maybe even convene two board meetings.
And, most importantly, Zhiyu has recently fallen in love with fishing!
Her bestie's boyfriend loves fishing. She knows the rules of the game very well. Nine out of ten men who love fishing have problems with that aspect...
Could it be that...
If it was really as she thought, then the reasons for all the abnormalities before had been found.
Mother Chen covered her forehead with her hands and felt that all she could see were stars. The world was spinning and she almost fainted.
Facing Xia Qingshu's kind and sincere look again, she was struck by lightning and fell headfirst on the sofa.
Could it be that her Zhiyu has withered...
