Family dinner
After seeing the video of the scumbag in the ward, in a rage, with his eyes bleeding after being hit by a mobile phone, falling flat on his face and being chased and bitten by wild dogs, Xia Mei finally laughed out loud.
Xia Qingshu knew that she could survive.
After Xia Mei felt a little better, she called and reported Wang Zhe by real name for abusing his power and providing convenience to the factory of the mistress's father.
Xiao San's family did run a factory, but she was just an illegitimate daughter. Apart from letting her work in their own company, her father did not take much care of her. She was willing to be the third party because she valued Wang Zhe's job. In the past, Wang Zhe did have a promising future. He held an important position in the quality inspection unit and was the direct law enforcer at the factory of the mistress's father.
The mistress was pushed out by her father to take the blame and became an abandoned child of the family. The factory of the mistress's family was strictly inspected and many quality problems were found. The factory was ordered to suspend production and rectify the situation and was fined. The mistress was also kicked out by her father.
Although Wang Zhe was dismissed from his job, he was still held accountable and sentenced to one year in prison.
Xia Mei even dressed up in disguise and went to the court to listen to the prosecution of the mistress and Wang Zhe. She saw the ugly scene of dog-eat-dog fighting in the court, and after returning home, she even ate two extra bowls of rice.
Both the scumbag and the mistress got the punishment they deserved.
In order to prevent the scumbag's family from seeking revenge, Xia Qingshu sent Xia Mei to a private nursing home. The security of the nursing home was very tight and only close family members knew about it.
Because Xia Qingshu specifically instructed him to do so, Xia Yubin had no idea of Xia Mei's physical condition.
Xia Yubin has seldom contacted Xia Laoer recently. After he became famous, he became a very busy man. Even for Xia Qingshu's welcome party, he only reserved three hours.
On the eve of the welcome party held by the Xia family specifically for Xia Qingshu, second brother Xia Ji finally returned from a business trip.
Xia Ji's face shape is very similar to Xia Jing's, a square face, with medium-long hair and slightly curled ends.
He has deep facial features, a high nose bridge, fair skin, and a Western appearance. His pupils are also light blue, and he looks a bit like a younger version of Professor Snape.
He had just finished his shower, with a towel wrapped around his waist and water droplets on his chest hair. I had just trimmed my beard and there was still some aftershave on my hands. The nice aftershave mixed with the scent of shower gel had a male hormone smell that made people's legs go weak.
Xia Ji opened the wardrobe and took out a set of clothes that he liked. As soon as he took it in his hand, he turned around and saw Xia Yubin sitting on his bed.
"Yubin, why are you here?"
"Second brother, you are finally back." Xia Yubin rushed over and hugged Xia Ji tightly, "I missed you so much..."
Xia Ji was a little at a loss. He just stood there motionless, letting Xia Yubin hold him.
He reached out and rubbed Xia Yubin's head, and said with a smile, "Second brother misses you too, let go, be good."
Xia Yubin let go of his hand and sat face to face with him. His eyes were red, he looked a little excited and aggrieved. There was water on his cheeks and his whole face was wet.
"What's wrong?" Xia Ji picked up a towel, wiped the water droplets on his chest, and put on a piece of clothes.
"Who has wronged our big star? Can you tell your brother?" His voice was deep and he spoke politely, with a hint of doting in it.
Second brother is still the best, Xia Yubin thought so, and sobbed as he told Xia Qingshu about how he was bullied by Xia Qingshu.
"What do you mean by telling this to your second brother?" Xia Ji's voice was still gentle.
Xia Yubin looked over with tears in his eyes, and muttered to himself as if he had done something wrong, "I didn't mean anything else, I was just saying it casually..."
Xia Ji frowned and interrupted him, "Do you want my second brother to embarrass Qing Shu?"
He tied up his long hair with a rubber band, revealing his handsome features, and raised the corners of his lips, still smiling, "Why should I help you?"
"Yubin, I'm not a fool."
Xia Yubin was stunned.
In his eyes, Xia Ji has always doted on him and is always polite. Compared with Xia Shan, he can be regarded as a gentle, good-tempered brother who is obsessed with his younger brother.
Even though she was a little dull, she almost always responded to his requests.
Therefore, when he heard the news that Xia Ji had returned, he even postponed his work and came back early.
His nose felt sore, "Second brother, are you going to bully me too?"
Xia Ji slowly moved closer to him, looking at him tenderly, and raised the corners of his lips slightly. When he was about to touch his cheek, he said calmly, "You sprayed perfume, just took a shower, changed clothes, and put on makeup. You came here while I was taking a shower. What do you want to do?"
Xia Ji finished speaking and looked over jokingly. There was still a smile on his face, but his tone had changed. He seemed to be the doting and gentle second brother just a second ago, but in the blink of an eye, he became a stranger.
The sharp eyes seemed to say, "Are you seducing your brother?"
He had just found out that Xia Yubin was not his biological brother, and that Xia Yubin knew his sexual orientation. It was hard not to think too much when he came so prepared.
Xia Yubin was speechless for a moment. After a long time, he weakly argued: "...I put on makeup because of my agent's request...I am a star now..."
Xia Ji didn't expose him, and asked directly, "What do you want to do?"
Xia Yubin didn't expect the other party to agree to it, and was a little excited. "At the welcome party, let him lose his reputation. You don't have to do much, just..."
Xia Ji gently pushed him on the head, and Xia Yubin lay down on the bed.
Xia Yubin blushed and unbuttoned his shirt.
Xia Ji completely ignored the other party's actions, turned around and put on his clothes, and said slowly, "I received your sincerity. Come back to claim the reward after the task is accomplished."
~
Xia Yubin's original songs became almost household names, and he suddenly became a hot star. Even Xia Jing, who was always serious, praised him highly.
At the Xia family dinner, Xia Yubin once again became the focus of everyone's attention, and Xia Shan also praised Xia Yubin's creative talent. Chen Qixi also planned to let Xia Yubin sing for everyone at the welcome banquet specially held for Xia Qingshu.
Xia Yubin served as a background singer, singing with all his heart, without making any attempt to steal the limelight from his younger brother.
The welcome banquet seemed to be quite successful.
At the banquet, Chen Qixi kept a close eye on Xia Qingshu, holding Xia Qingshu's hand the whole time and introducing him to others non-stop. Xia Jing and Chen Qixi deliberately ignored Chen Zhiyu because of some selfish motives, but except for Chen Zhiyu, all the celebrities in the city were there, Wen Sheng came, He Chen came, and even Shen Xunyi, the helmsman of the number one chaebol in Taipei, came.
There were always people following Xia Qingshu in groups of three or four, and he was never alone.
As the banquet was coming to an end, Xia Yubin became a little anxious. He came to Xia Ji's door, but it was closed. No one answered when he knocked, and no one answered the phone. Xia Yubin asked his aunt for the room key and quietly opened the door and went in.
The room was empty, but a dim nightlight was on in the bathroom, casting shadows on the walls.
There is obviously someone there, why doesn't he respond?
Xia Yubin walked over slowly, "Second brother?"
When I opened the bathroom door, besides Xia Ji, there was also a tall man. Seeing Xia Yubin, the man turned his head slowly and looked at him coldly.
Xia Yubin was shocked, isn't this Shen Xunyi? He just saw Chen Qixi introducing Xia Qingshu, and he was so envious.
Shen Xunyi is from Taipei City and is a little taller than his second brother who is 186cm tall. The Shen family is engaged in heavy industry and also has businesses in the entertainment industry. They have a great influence in the country, second only to the Chen Group.
I didn't expect him and my second brother to be so close.
Xia Yubin showed joy on his face, "Second brother, who is this?"
The fact that Shen Xunyi avoided everyone and stayed here with his second brother showed that they had a close personal relationship. If he could get to know Shen Xunyi through his second brother, then...
Xia Yubin was so busy calculating in his mind that he didn't notice that their clothes were a little messy.
Shen Xunyi has a typical northerner's tall stature, but his facial features are rather handsome and he has a suave temperament.
He adjusted his cufflinks elegantly while waving at Xia Yubin. When Xia Yubin came closer, he hooked his finger and lifted up Xia Yubin's face, "Is that the person you're talking about?"
He seemed very dissatisfied with Xia Yubin. After releasing his chin, he shook his hands critically.
"Yes." Xia Ji nodded, took out a wet tissue, held Shen Xunyi's hand, and wiped his hand carefully.
Shen Xunyi, however, acted as if it was a matter of course and ordered, "Wipe it again."
Xia Yubin's pupils trembled.
Even a fool should have noticed the relationship between the two by now.
Xia Ji agreed to help him and asked for compensation so clearly, what did that mean...
Just now, Shen Xunyi looked at him like he was examining some merchandise. What did it mean to openly discuss this in front of him...
Xia Yubin's mind was very confused.
Xia Ji didn't care and asked directly, "What do you need me to do?"
Seeing the other party in a daze, Shen Xunyi snorted coldly.
Xia Yubin came back to his senses and quickly said, "Leave him alone." Then he handed him a bottle of drink and said, "Let him drink it and call me."
Xia Ji took out his phone and called Xia Qingshu in front of the two of them, "Qingshu, this is your second brother... I'm sorry that you came back late... I've prepared a gift for you, can you come to my room and get it?"
Xia Qingshu agreed quickly.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Ji politely made a gesture for the other party to leave, "Please."
Xia Yubin stumbled out.
The shock was so great that I couldn't calm down for a long time.
In order to bring down Xia Qingshu, he might have to pay a lot, but thinking of Shen Xunyi's handsome appearance, it was worth it...
~
After Xia Yubin left, Xia Ji locked the door.
Shen Xunyi put his hands on Xia Ji's waist and rolled his eyes, "Just him?"
Is this kind of stuff worthy of being brought in front of me to attract attention? !
The tone of disdain was about to break through the sky.
Xia Ji pecked him on the mouth and coaxed softly, "Yeah."
"She's not pretty, and she's vicious." Shen Xunyi's evaluation was quite sarcastic. "She looks stupid, maybe she's stupid."
"I don't like it."
"Change it, change it."
"Your requirements are too high." Xia Ji continued to coax, "You asked me to find someone, but you didn't make it clear what you wanted. So, what kind of person do you like?"
Shen Xunyi hugged the other person, "I like people like you, tall, smart, and considerate. Just one look at you can make Xiao Shen stand up in awe."
Not knowing what he was thinking of, Shen Xunyi bit the other person's lips and said, "Everything is fine except not letting me go."
Xia Ji pinched him and said, "You are not like that either."
"Although Yubin is not very good-looking, he is clean and petite. Just teach him to be the way you like." Xia Ji coaxed.
Shen Xunyi frowned and protested seriously, "This is my first time!"
"I know, I know. Me too, Yu Bin too. I'm sorry for making you suffer." Xia Ji checked the time and coaxed him to the door. "You go out first, the people are coming soon. Let's give it a try. It doesn't have to be him. If it doesn't work, we can find someone else."
Shen Xunyi snorted coldly and left reluctantly. Before leaving, he picked up the half-glass of red wine in the entrance hall and glared at Xia Ji fiercely.
......
Xia Qingshu was surrounded by people and couldn't get away. He finally found an excuse to leave, but it was already twenty minutes after he received a call from his second brother.
Xia Ji's room was on the third floor. Shen Xunyi held a wine glass and walked elegantly to the corner. A hairy boy rushed over and bumped into his arms.
Shen Xunyi frowned, grabbed the other person's collar and pulled him away.
He was not a good-tempered person. He frowned and cursed, "Are you rushing to die?"
Xia Qingshu raised her head, her pink little mouth slightly parted, and she stared at the other person blankly.
After a long while, he apologized in a low voice, full of apology, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Silly, like a lost deer.
During the collision, the wine spilled all over his face, and the clear water droplets fell on his crow-feather-like long eyelashes, almost bending them.
"I'm so sorry."
Shen Xunyi opened his mouth, and all the harsh words fell on his lips, but he swallowed them forcefully.
His Adam's apple slid up and down and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"You...are you going in such a hurry?" After Shen Xunyi stood still, he took out a tissue, threw it aside, and wiped the sticky wine on his hands.
"Ah...I'm going to my second brother's room."
The second brother was very gentle and kind to him, and his words were full of care for him. He was afraid that his second brother would have to wait for a long time, so when he went upstairs, he didn't see clearly and ran faster.
Having met too many people today, Xia Qingshu really couldn't remember this gentleman's name or surname, but this gentleman had an outstanding temperament, and he confirmed that Chen Qixi had introduced him to him.
I couldn't remember the other person's name, which was very rude. I didn't even know how to address him or her to apologize.
He looked around, trying to find help, but there was no one around. The guests and the host were all in the reception room on the first floor.
Xia Qingshu blushed and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I forgot your name. Can you say it again?"
The first time Shen Xunyi saw Xia Qingshu, he thought he was very handsome.
When they first arrived on the first floor, it was crowded and noisy, and Xia Qingshu was surrounded by a group of people, so he didn't look closely.
Now that I look closely, I realize that the other person's skin is white and translucent.
When they collided, his arm touched Xia Qingshu's cheek, which felt cool and smooth, like a piece of jade just fished out of the well.
The small body is very flexible, and it can perform many difficult movements at a glance...
When he bumped into her arms, he smelled a fragrance...
A fire ignited in Chen Xunyi's heart.
This younger brother of Xia Ji is much better than his previous younger brother.
"My last name is Shen, and my full name is Shen Xunyi, which means four fires. Did you know that?" Shen Xunyi said with a smile, "It describes the burning sensation when encountering wood."
Xia Qingshu nodded, and when she blinked, the water droplets on her long eyelashes trembled.
"Mr. Shen, I'm really sorry, my brother is looking for me, I have to excuse myself."
Before the banquet, Chen Qixi focused on explaining to him Shen Xunyi, the richest man in Taipei, who was cold, arrogant, and had a bad temper.
Xia Qingshu secretly listed Shen Xunyi as "someone who cannot be deeply befriended". Now that he accidentally bumped into him, he just wanted to apologize and leave quickly.
Shen Xunyi spread his hands, feeling a little aggrieved, "You left me and left?"
What else?
The lights were dim at the corner, and Xia Qingshu said in a low voice, "Mr. Shen, we are not familiar with each other..."
He raised his head in a daze, his dark pupils were tinged with moisture, like a helpless little animal.
Shen Xunyi said in a calm voice, “Little thing, you made my clothes dirty, and you just ran away like this?”
The wine spilled, and there was some on Xia Qingshu's face, and a lot on Shen Xunyi's hands and clothes, with an obvious wine stain on his chest.
Xia Qingshu then realized that the other person's collar was stained with wine, and he quickly took out a handkerchief from his pocket.
He usually doesn't use a handkerchief. This apricot-white silk handkerchief was forced upon him by Chen Qixi in order to create the image of a noble young master.
"Let me help you dry it." Xia Qingshu held the handkerchief in the air and was stunned again.
Before the banquet started, Chen Qixi told him that Shen Xunyi was a little eccentric. He felt that it was not polite to wipe it directly with his handkerchief, so he wanted to hand it over, but he didn't know how to start.
He hesitated and just stood there stupidly.
"You should wipe it."
The other party looked like a cute little raccoon. Shen Xunyi smiled and said, "Look, it's you who's dawdling. The wine is dry and my clothes are dirty. I can't wear them anymore. What should I do?"
Shen Xunyi's collar was covered with wine stains, which was indeed not very elegant. Xia Qingshu whispered, "I don't know what to do either."
Or, why don’t you go home and change into another one?
He wanted to say that he could compensate for the dry cleaning fee to dispel the other party's anger, but he didn't expect that Shen Xunyi was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Aren't you going to find your brother? Take me to your second brother. He and I have a similar body shape, so I should be able to wear his clothes."
"Oh." Xia Qingshu nodded and led the way.
Xia Ji waited in the room for a long time, but instead of Xia Qingshu, he saw Shen Xunyi coming back.
Seeing Xia Qingshu beside Shen Xunyi, his eyes paused slightly, "Why are you two together?"
Xia Qingshu whispered, “Second brother, I accidentally bumped into Mr. Shen just now, and the wine spilled, staining Mr. Shen’s clothes. Do you have any clean new clothes to bring to Mr. Shen?”
Shen Xunyi stood there, smiling at the two of them with a good temper, completely different from the harsh look he had just shown when he evaluated Xia Yubin.
Xia Ji opened the wardrobe and said politely, "Mr. Shen, would you like to choose one?"
"Thank you, second brother." Shen Xunyi pointed to a T-shirt casually, "I want this one."
It was a light blue T-shirt, the same color as the clothes Xia Qingshu was wearing.
Xia Ji frowned and said, "This one won't work, Mr. Shen, please choose another one."
Shen Xunyi looked at him with a smile, "Why not?"
There is another meaning to his words: he wants that one and he must have that one.
"That one... doesn't match your trousers." Xia Ji replied.
Shen Xunyi: "I don't mind."
Xia Ji paused, then took out the T-shirt and handed it over.
Shen Xunyi took the T-shirt and didn't change it immediately. Instead, he saw Xia Qingshu and said, "I'm changing clothes outside. You go wash your face?"
"Oh oh." Xia Qingshu then realized that wine had also been splashed on his face.
Seeing Xia Qingshu walk to the bathroom and listening to the sound of running water, Xia Ji's face was stern and he whispered, "He can't."
Shen Xunyi raised his eyebrows, "Why? Don't tell me it's because he is your brother. Xia Yubin is also your brother."
Xia Ji corrected: "He is my biological brother."
Shen Xunyi touched Xia Ji's slightly blue eyes and smiled, "Really?"
Xia Ji is the son of Xia Jing's childhood friend.
Xia Jing's childhood friend was a special forces soldier, who was killed while on a mission. Xia Ji was just born at that time, and his mother couldn't bear the blow, so she died with him. Xia Ji was brought home by Xia Jing when he was less than ten days old, and he always claimed to the outside world that Xia Ji was his biological son.
Xia Jing and Chen Qixi treated him like their own son, but as he grew older, he became puzzled by his unusual blue eyes. When he was in elementary school, he once asked Xia Jing about it. Xia Jing said that he inherited it from his maternal grandfather. Chen Qixi's grandmother was a foreigner and also had blue pupils.
When he grew up, he finally learned about his life experience, but Xia Jing and Chen Qixi didn't mention it, and he pretended not to know. After all, after so many years of companionship, he had long regarded them as his biological parents.
While Xia Ji was in a daze, Shen Xunyi said, "I just saw on the terrace that Xia Yubin found a man with a belly as big as his own." Shen Xunyi stretched out his hands and drew a circle on his belly: "That man is so ugly."
Xia Ji was somewhat helpless: "Qingshu is even dumber than Yubin, don't you like smart people?"
Shen Xunyi was annoyed, "I can teach! I don't care, I just want him. You decide for yourself!"
His voice was a little loud, so Xia Ji hushed.
"Dong Dong." Shen Xunyi received a message. He clicked it impatiently, and after reading it, he frowned and asked, "Who is Zhou Qian?"
"Xia Yubin's friend, the youngest son of the Zhou family."
He put the phone in front of Xia Ji, "Xia Yubin, this isn't the first time. You can't let me use something dirty that someone else has used, right?"
After knowing it was Xia Yubin, Shen Xunyi immediately asked someone to investigate and soon found out that Xia Yubin and Zhou Qian had slept together.
Xia Ji crossed his arms and frowned, "You go out first."
Shen Xunyi tapped his chin with his index finger: "Wait for your good news."
~
When Xia Qingshu finished washing her face, Shen Xunyi had already left.
He clung to the bathroom door frame and poked his head out, "Second brother, is Mr. Shen gone?"
Xia Ji nodded and said gently, "Come here."
"Oh." Xia Qingshu put his hands on both sides and slowly moved in front of Xia Ji like elementary school students lining up.
"Don't be so reserved in front of me."
When Xia Ji spoke, his voice was gentle and smooth with almost no ups and downs. He picked up a box and handed it to Xia Qingshu.
Hearing that the second brother doted on Xia Yubin very much, Xia Qingshu also knew that the brotherhood between Xia Ji and Xia Yubin of more than ten years could not be shaken by a kid like him who had just arrived. Therefore, he was quite polite in front of Xia Ji, and regarded the other party's gift-giving as an official social means.
"Thank you, second brother." Xia Qingshu took the gift box and held it in his hands.
A very ordinary shoe box. Judging from the weight, it should be a pair of sneakers.
"Take a look, do you like it?"
Xia Qingshu held the box, a little hesitant.
"Are you afraid of me?" Xia Ji asked.
"No, how could that be?" Xia Qingshu just didn't want to disturb the other party. He originally planned to thank the gift and leave after receiving it. It would be impolite to open it in front of others, and after opening the gift, he would have to chat for a while longer.
He didn't think Xia Ji would like him.
"Open it." Xia Ji looked at him and smiled.
Xia Qingshu pursed her lips, carefully tore open the wrapping paper and opened the box.
Sure enough, there was a beautiful pair of sneakers inside.
The shoes should be limited edition, with complicated and exquisite packaging. They are a pair of red and black AJ sneakers with silver fluorescent soles. Even if Xia Qingshu is not a sneaker collector, he can tell that this pair of sneakers is very expensive.
"Thank you, second brother. I like it very much." He really likes it.
He tilted his little face up and grinned, with dimples faintly visible around his lips.
She had just washed her face, and even though she wiped off excess water with a tissue, her fair face was still moist and glowing with water.
Her long and thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes were filled with sparkling light.
Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, he put away his smile, pursed his lips, and looked over blankly, like a doll that could be manipulated at will.
Xia Ji understood at a glance why the fussy and delicate Shen Xunyi specifically wanted him.
Compared to Xia Yubin, his younger brother is much more handsome.
Xia Yubin's pretended fragility and pitifulness were instantly shattered in front of Xia Qingshu's natural, pure fragility and beauty.
He is like a rare work of art, fragile, transparent and flawless.
Suitable for collection, holding/playing.
Xia Ji's phone kept vibrating, all of which were text messages from Shen Xunyi urging him to come back.
Shen Xunyi was born into a noble family, so no matter what good things they were, as long as he took a closer look at them, someone would offer them to him earnestly. He had never seen Shen Xunyi so interested in someone.
He was so eager to get Xia Qingshu that he sent so many text messages, which was totally inconsistent with his elegant and noble personality.
While Xia Qingshu was trying on shoes, Xia Ji lowered his head and quickly replied, "He can't. I will compensate you."
The phone began to vibrate again.
Xia Ji found it troublesome and simply turned on the mute function.
The sneakers fit him perfectly. Xia Qingshu put them on and jumped on the spot, "Thank you, second brother."
Xia Ji looked at him and smiled.
"Qingshu, please sit in my room. I'm going to go out for a while and will be back soon. Don't run around."
