Chapter 65 He You Love Me Healing House
After Shi Jingshan's confession, the Xia family attached great importance to it. For the sake of Xia Qingshu's marriage, the family held a short meeting under the chairmanship of Xia Jing.
Thinking back to the beginning, Xia Jing and Xia Shan had always thought that Qingshu liked Chen Zhiyu unilaterally. After learning the truth, they were a little surprised. After being surprised, they felt happy.
Especially Xia Jing and Chen Qixi, they couldn't wait to set off firecrackers to celebrate.
I was almost misled by that narcissist Chen Zhiyu.
It was obvious that Chen Zhiyu was deeply in love with Qingshu of their family. He didn't know where he got his confidence from, but he shamelessly believed that Qingshu loved him deeply and couldn't help himself.
Haha, man.
In the eyes of the Xia family, Chen Zhiyu is now a joke.
Outsiders have no idea what Chen Zhiyu and Xia Qingshu said to each other in private at the end.
Although from the outside he didn't look as depressed after talking with Qingshu, his tail seemed to stand up again and was wagging happily.
Everyone just thought that he was rejected and was too embarrassed to act so he acted normal. But in fact, no one knew how sad he was inside and he probably wiped away his tears secretly when he got home.
Without Chen Zhiyu, the great threat to her, Chen Qixi was no longer in a hurry to introduce a good man to Qingshu. Qingshu was still young and could not find a partner so quickly. Qingshu is simple and ignorant. Even if he wants to find a wife in the future, he will find one who will marry into his family. With two older brothers, he will help take care of him and will not be bullied.
Now the Xia family has formed a united front and is on high alert, forbidding anyone with a penis to approach the green tree, not even male dogs.
Chen Zhiyu couldn't make an appointment with him, Wen Sheng couldn't make an appointment with him either, let alone Shen Xunyi. Xia Ji directly deleted Qingshu's contact information from Shen Xunyi's phone.
Xia Qingshu was pregnant and felt listless all day long and didn't want to go out. It was not until four months later, when the fetus was stable and she felt better, that she decided to go out. It happened that Xia Laoer's restaurant branch opened, and on the opening day, Xia Qingshu bought a flower basket to celebrate. Xia Qingshu went to his adoptive father's house. Xia Jingchen Qixi was not in a position to ask about it, so Xia Qingshu was able to go out alone.
He was wearing a milky white wide sweater, which hid his thin body. He didn't look like a man who was already four months pregnant.
His stomach was soft, his lower abdomen was a little bulging, his waist was obviously concave, but his waist was still slender, and there seemed to be no big difference from before.
If he hadn't occasionally felt the little life in his belly kicking him from time to time, he would probably have suspected that he was pregnant with something lonely.
The little life in the belly is very well-behaved and usually quiet. But sometimes, when he sleeps too much and hasn't gotten up for breakfast after 10 o'clock, the little life will move a little. As long as he got up to eat something, the little life would stay still again.
She is so obedient, maybe she is a beautiful and obedient daughter.
Fortunately, I was soft-hearted and kept the child.
He was worried that when the baby was born, it would be so well behaved that he would be reluctant to hand it over to Mother Chen...
Especially since the Chen family still favors boys over girls, if it was a daughter, he might as well raise her himself. Chen Qixi and Xia Jing should support him. If not, he would go back to Xia Laoer...
Alas, it's too early to think about this now.
The driver parked the car and Xia Qingshu got out with a basket of flowers.
......
In just three months, "Healing House" has established itself in the city and become a new internet-famous Western restaurant, which is very popular. This is the third branch. The first two branches are packed almost every day, making millions in profit every month.
If the third branch continues to be a hot business, Xia Dong plans to open branches in other places and build a national chain. Xia Qingshu initially invested only eight million yuan and became the largest shareholder of "Healing House". If this trend continues, the brand value of "Healing House" will reach hundreds of millions.
By then, he will be fully capable of supporting himself and his children.
It was not even half past eleven and there was already a long line outside the "Healing House".
Xia Qingshu was afraid that Xia Laoer was too busy, so he sent him a message and sat in the queue waiting for him.
After a while, more and more people gathered at the restaurant entrance, and a clamor was heard - "Star, look, a star is coming!!"
Xia Qingshu looked closely and saw a "star" wearing sunglasses and a hat, accompanied by two bodyguards, walking towards him from the end of the corridor.
"Who is this? Are you a fan of this? Do you know him?"
"I don't know him. Was he invited by the restaurant to cut the ribbon?"
"That shouldn't be the case. If they were here to cut the ribbon, the restaurant would definitely promote it. Look at the door, there's nothing there but a few flower baskets."
"Is he here to eat? I hope he doesn't cut in line!!"
"Fuck, look at the signature on this flower basket: All of these flower baskets are sent by Chen Zhiyu!!"
Under everyone's gaze, the two "stars" walked to the door of the "Healing House". After they stood still, one of them took off his hat and sunglasses and smiled sweetly at everyone, "I wish you all a happy meal. My fans can get a 30% discount. It is applicable to all 'Healing Houses'. Just show your Weibo following to the front desk. This benefit is valid for a long time."
After saying that, the "star" smiled sweetly at the people in line, and entered the restaurant with his bodyguards, looking like the owner of the restaurant.
Xia Qingshu: “…”
This person is so shameless!
"30% off!! Does anyone know who he is? I'll follow him right away!"
"I don't know him. Does anyone know him?"
"This celebrity looks average, but he's kind-hearted. He gave fans gifts when he opened a store. Who is he? I want to follow him right away!!"
"I think I've seen it before. It was on Sing My Song. Let me look for it!"
"Ah, he's Xia Yubin! Follow him!"
Xia Qingshu followed Xia Yubin into the restaurant.
Xia Yubin not only said this at the door, but also repeated what he had just said through the loudspeaker inside the restaurant, "Everyone can tell this message to your friends. 'Healing House' will open branches all over the country. This condition will be valid for all stores across the country in the future!"
After Xia Yubin finished speaking, the whole audience was in an uproar.
If you don't take advantage of a good deal, you're a fool. The guests took out their phones to pay attention. It was just a matter of ordering something casually, not a big deal.
The lobby manager thought a psychopath had come and tried to stop him, but before he could get close, he was stopped by two bodyguards beside Xia Yubin, "Mr. Xia Yubin is the young master of the 'Healing House'."
Xia Yubin kindly reminded the bodyguard, "Don't be too rude. This employee must be new and has never seen me."
The lobby manager sneered in his heart. He was an old employee transferred from the head office, and he was very familiar with the three owners of the restaurant.
Their boss is called Xia Qingshu. Every time they have a meeting, Xia Dongxia and the second brother will mention him to them. Although boss Xia Qingshu has never attended any employee meeting, all of their employees have seen photos of boss Xia Qingshu. Boss Xia Qingshu is better looking than this so-called "star". By the way, this person might be here to commit fraud.
The lobby manager picked up the intercom and said, "Kitchen staff, waiters, chefs, anyone with strong strength, please come out. There is a disturbance in the lobby."
Soon, several burly cooks surrounded Xia Yubin and his two companions.
Xia Yubin called Xia Laoer in a panic. Xia Laoer ran out of the kitchen wearing an apron and stopped the kitchen staff who were about to start a fight.
After learning about the benefits Xia Yubin offered to customers, Xia Laoer quickly waved his hands, "Yubin, this won't work."
Xia Laoer snatched the microphone from Xia Yubin's hand and apologized to the guests, "Don't listen to him, the child is ignorant and says nonsense." Then he pushed him to the private room upstairs.
Xia Lao Er turned around and saw Xia Qingshu standing aside watching the fun. He waved to him and said, "Qingshu, come too."
Xia Yubin was pushed upstairs by Xia Laoer, and he did not forget to explain to the customers: "The owner of this store is my father, I will convince him, everyone please don't unfollow me."
Xia Lao Er murmured softly, "No, no, no, no." His voice was so small that it was drowned out by the noise of the guests.
After entering the private room, Xia Lao Er hesitated, "Yubin, today is the opening day of our new store, and we have a 20% discount, and only new stores have discounts. Those customers just now can enjoy a 30% discount, but it's only for today, and it won't work in the future."
"Dad, didn't you promise to support my career? I just signed the contract and my career is just starting. I need my family's support right now." Xia Yubin pouted and said aggrievedly, "I asked Brother Dong, the profit in the catering industry is very high, 80% profit, you won't lose money even if you give a 30% discount, and you can make small profits but quick turnover."
Xia Lao Er didn't know how to respond. Although the store was booming, it was not his. He stammered to explain -
The catering industry has high profits, but also high risks. Although it is booming now, no one knows how it will be in the future. In addition, the decoration costs of a store are tens of millions. If it loses money, not a penny of the initial investment can be recovered. Now is the time to recover the capital while business is good, rather than to cut prices. Moreover, they use high-end ingredients and have slim profits. A 50% profit is considered high, not to mention the workers' wages, benefits, rent, utilities, etc.
Besides, the "healing house" does not belong to him alone.
Xia Yubin was bored and said coquettishly, "Dad, just think of it as an investment in me. When I become a big star, I can make a lot of money. When I become famous, I can also help promote the restaurant. The restaurant's business will definitely get better and better. Maybe we can even build a national chain and go public. I know that you are the best to me, Dad!"
Xia Yubin held Xia Laoer's hand, showing a strong intimacy.
Xia Lao Er was a little at a loss, but he couldn't push it away.
Xia Qingshu held a cup of hot tea and took a sip. "What if you can't become famous?"
He sat in the corner of the sofa, his voice was soft and inconspicuous, and at first glance he didn't look as handsome as Xia Yubin.
However, he just sat there quietly, seemingly non-competitive and weak, but he could not be ignored, and his words were quite heart-wrenching.
After losing the man of his previous life, becoming famous has always been the last straw that Xia Yubin can grasp.
Being judged to be unpopular, Xia Yubin raised his head and said proudly, "My classmate who debuted with me has a family that has money and bought marketing. He became a little famous, and now every GG he takes on makes millions. At worst, I'll give it back to my dad later."
Xia Yubin said to Xia Laoer, "Marketing is very expensive nowadays. I calculated that using the restaurant to promote our business will not only be mutually beneficial, but also save a lot of money. My fans will come to consume more often in the future, which will also increase sales. If you still feel uneasy, write down how much you lost, and I will pay you back when I make money in the future."
Xia Lao Er said softly, "How can I ask you to pay it back?"
With the support of Xia Laoer, Xia Yubin looked at Xia Qingshu provocatively.
He is Xia Laoer's biological son, and he should inherit Xia Laoer's property in the future.
Xia Qingshu held the teacup and took advantage of the time when no one was talking to ask, "Xia Yubin, you haven't answered me yet. What if you don't become popular?"
Xia Yubin bit his lip, his face slightly deformed, "I will definitely become famous!"
The bodyguard reminded softly, "Mr. Xia Yubin, expression."
Xia Yubin took a deep breath and almost forgot that he was a star now and had to manage his facial expressions at all times.
He took a deep breath, forced out a fairly satisfied smile, and sneered, "Whether I'm famous or not is none of your business. Brother, are you envious of your brother for becoming a star?"
"I'm not envious." Xia Qingshu put down his teacup, sat on the sofa, and picked up a small account book on the table. "Since you said you want to compensate the restaurant for its losses, I'll record it."
While he was whispering, he carefully wrote down in the notebook with a pen, "On XX/XX/XX, because of Xia Yubin's vanity, in order to help Xia Yubin gain passers-by fans, the third branch of 'Healing House' lost 30% of its turnover..."
He was halfway through writing when he looked up and asked, "Xia Yubin, when will you become famous?"
Xia Yubin: "Why are you asking this?"
"So that you can pay me back?" Xia Qingshu shook his head, puzzled. "My mom said that if you borrow, you must pay it back. It's not difficult to borrow again. I'll wait for you to become famous so that you can pay me back."
Xia Yubin said angrily, "I don't know."
He had all kinds of resources in his previous life. Whether in the entertainment circle or the capital circle, there were high-quality men who helped him with all their strength. It was just a matter of words for him to become famous. It’s just that he was not interested in career in his previous life, and all his energy was spent on dealing with interpersonal relationships.
He no longer had a man in his life, and he wanted to develop his career, only to find out how difficult it was to survive in the entertainment industry.
If he knew when he would become famous, he wouldn't be so frustrated as he is now.
Xia Qingshu said "Oh" and continued to write, "Xia Yubin's popularity is far from certain..."
Xia Yubin was furious, "What do you mean by indefinitely?!"
Xia Qingshu looked innocent, "You said it yourself." He muttered softly, "You said you didn't know when you would become famous, so doesn't that mean it will be a long time in the future?"
Xia Yubin frowned and looked at Xia Laoer, "Dad, I won't write this thing. You promised to help me."
He shamelessly asked Xia Laoer to help him accumulate fans.
If this incident becomes a hot topic, he will become famous in an instant.
Xia Lao Er said dully, "I listen to Miaozi." Seeing that Xia Yubin was about to cry again, Xia Lao Er quickly explained, "'Healing House' is Qingshu's store, and I don't have the final say."
Xia Qingshu pursed her lips and smiled sweetly at Xia Yubin.
He is the boss of the "Healing House".
Xia Yubin's nose was sour, "Dad, you are biased. I am your biological son. Why do you leave all the good things to Qingshu..."
Damn, why is everyone so nice to Xia Qingshu? !
He is obviously Xia Laoer’s biological son, and he is so much better than Xia Qingshu. Why can’t these people see his good side? !
Are these people's heads caught in the door? !
Since the three stores can be divided among Xia Qingshu, he must have a share.
Xia Yubin blinked, twisted Xia Laoer and started crying.
As soon as the child started crying, Xia Lao Er was at a loss. "This store was invested by Qingshu. He is the major shareholder. Xia Dong and I both worked for him and got some shares. Yubin, don't cry. How about I invest my share of the profits for you?"
Xia Yubin stopped sobbing and asked, "How many do you have?"
Xia Lao Er answered honestly, "I have 10%, which means I can get hundreds of thousands a month. If the store does good business, I can get even more."
Xia Yubin gritted his teeth, his heart bleeding.
Just 10 percent. What can you do with such a small amount of money?
But it’s better than nothing, Xia Yubin nodded while sobbing.
Xia Qingshu didn't know what he was thinking of, and turned to Xia Yubin and said, "You can't inherit the 'Healing House', but there are two good things in the house that you can inherit." He looked up with a longing look on his face, "Those two things are great."
Xia Yubin stopped sobbing and asked anxiously, "What?"
Xia Qingshu sold a crown, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Xia Yubin turned to Xia Laoer and said, "Dad, you gave all the good things to Qingshu. I don't care. You must give me these two things!"
Xia Laoer was a little dumbfounded. How come he didn't know what else was there in the family that he could inherit?
Xia Qingshu whispered, "Dad, you give those two things to Yubin, I have no objection."
Xia Lao Er murmured, "Here you go, here you go..."
Although he didn't know what it was.
He looked at Xia Qingshu and asked him for help.
Xia Qingshu then said slowly, "Dad, you forgot that our Xia family has a heritage of nobility. Now Brother Yubin is your biological son, and the right to fight for the title should fall on his shoulders."
Xia Yubin: “…”
After inheriting Old Man Xia's title, you will be sucked dry by Old Man Xia's family until you die.
What the hell is this good stuff.
This idiot has water in his brain.
He took a deep breath and continued, "What's the other thing?"
Xia Qingshu was a little embarrassed. He lowered his head and blushed. He said in a low voice, "The engagement between my cousin Xia Sang and our family was originally planned to be with me, but we didn't know that we had the wrong child. You are the real one. You can choose a date to get married."
Xia Yubin: “…”
I was actually fooled by this idiot.
Xia Lao Er was still agreeing, "Yubin, these two good things are for you."
Xia Yubin: I’m so angry that I’m shaking.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
The bodyguard opened the door a crack, and several shy little girls stood at the door.
Seeing the people in the private room, the girls' eyes sparkled and they asked shyly, "Excuse me, can I take a photo with you?"
Xia Yubin winked at the bodyguard, who said, "Sure, please wait for two minutes, Mr. Xia will be out soon."
Xia Yubin dressed up specially when he went out today. He wore a black jacket. The jacket was a little oversized, which made his figure look slimmer. I have light makeup on my face, but when I was crying just now, I accidentally smudged my mascara and eyeliner, so now I need to touch up my makeup.
He didn't like having other people around when he was putting on makeup, so the two bodyguards stood guard at the door. The kitchen was very busy as the shop had just opened, and soon someone came to call him, and Xia Lao Er also left.
Xia Yubin and Xia Qingshu were the only two people left in the private room.
Xia Qingshu sat forward, took out his cell phone and checked his music. He watched several videos, and the background music was all Xia Yubin's songs.
While applying powder to her face, Xia Yubin was paying attention to Xia Qingshu's movements. He caught a glimpse of Xia Qingshu turning off his phone in annoyance, and a smile finally appeared on Xia Yubin's lips.
"Brother, are you anxious seeing your brother become famous?" Xia Yubin said modestly, "It's just my new album, I don't know why it's so popular~~"
Just now he was ridiculed by others for not being able to become famous, but unexpectedly, someone came to him and asked for a photo right away, and all the songs on Douyin were his own. Xia Yubin was like a proud peacock, wishing he could spread his feathers immediately.
Xia Qingshu shook his head and asked softly, "What's there to be proud of if you rely on plagiarism?"
Xia Yubin drew a long eyeliner and glanced at him, "Plagiarism? Where's the evidence?"
"I've heard Sister Xia Mei sing these two songs." During the few days that Xia Qingshu accompanied Xia Mei, he heard Sister Xia Mei sing many songs, and the two famous songs by Xia Yubin were two of them.
Sister Xia Mei likes these two songs very much and hums them often. Moreover, these two songs are very recognizable and Xia Qingshu knows them as soon as he hears them.
A few days after Xia Yubin's album was released, Xia Qingshu received a text message from Xia Mei - "My song was plagiarized."
"Having heard it is evidence, brother, are you kidding me?" Xia Yubin's face turned cold and he warned, "Xia Qingshu, even if you are my brother, I will sue you for malicious defamation."
Sister Xia Mei always writes songs for her own entertainment, either singing them to family and friends or singing them to herself. She has never published any of her songs, nor has she mailed any demos to record companies.
It is really difficult to prove that the song was originally written by Sister Xia Mei, and she might even be accused of defamation due to insufficient evidence.
Xia Qingshu blushed and accused the other party, "You... provoked Sister Mei, you deliberately forced Sister Xia Mei..."
He is not good at quarreling. His face turns red if he speaks a little loudly. He often feels extremely aggrieved even though he doesn't scold anyone.
A pair of beautiful eyes were filled with tears, as if she was about to cry.
Xia Qingshu's weak appearance pleased Xia Yubin, and Xia Yubin's depression was relieved and he let out a long breath.
He stared at Xia Qingshu's face and deliberately spoke harshly, "So what? Even without me, Xia Mei would still die!"
Sure enough, Xia Yubin wanted Xia Mei to die!
Why?
Xia Qingshu's face turned pale instantly, and tears hung on her long eyelashes, trembling and about to fall, looking so pitiful.
Xia Yubin sneered, "It's no use pretending to be so pitiful in front of me."
He used to come to ask about Xia Mei's recent situation from time to time, but Xia Dong and Xia Laoer refused to talk about it. Even Li Xiaoxi couldn't tell him the answer. Xia Qingqiu was even more of a fool and had no idea who Xia Mei was.
Looking at Xia Qingshu's current appearance, he is eighteen times more likely to be Xia Mei. Nine is stubborn.
Such a sharp kitchen knife almost cut off her wrist, and she was so depressed, how could she still live?
Unless the scumbag is kicked out of the house and the mistress is fired by the company.
Is it possible?
impossible.
He contacted the scumbag privately and told him that Xia Dong was investigating him and his mistress, and asked them to act more cautiously. If you can't find evidence of the man cheating, you must give him half of the marital property.
Xia Mei will blame herself for the rest of her life for wasting her parents' hard-earned money.
Ever since Xia Mei cut her wrists for the second time, Xia Yubin was certain that she would not live long. Xia Qingshu's reaction only confirmed the news of Xia Mei's death.
Ah, those excellent and pleasant songs can finally be heard by everyone.
Xia Yubin happily put the cosmetics into her bag and said in a half-serious and half-joking tone, "Not only Xia Mei, but also you, Xia Qingshu, you should have died long ago!"
Xia Qingshu was shocked.
Xia Yubin's determined look didn't sound like he was talking nonsense, nor did it sound like he was cursing him. Instead, it sounded like he was narrating a trivial matter.
He didn't know what Xia Mei's ending was, but the "Xia Qingshu" in the original book had indeed died a long time ago...
Could it be that Xia Yubin also came from a book? !
Xia Qingshu's mind was in a mess. He took several deep breaths to calm himself down.
In the original book, Xia Yubin would wander among various high-quality men, but now he only has one man, Mr. Wu, by his side, and he is still concentrating on his career. He is not like the male protagonist of Haitang, but like the male protagonist of Qidian, with a unique taste...
Since he is a book traveler, he should know a lot of information, such as Xia Mei's song will become a hit...
Seriously speaking, if Sister Xia Mei hadn't had my help, she wouldn't have had the will to live...
Xia Qingshu was very sure that Xia Yubin, like him, was also a book-traveler who was familiar with the plot. Everything he did was to legitimately claim the song written and composed by Sister Xia Mei as his own.
There are hundreds of beautiful original songs in Xia Mei's room.
He finally understood why Xia Yubin always provoked Xia Mei.
He wasn't just going to steal two songs, he was going to steal all of them.
Not only did Xia Qingshu's face turn red, but his eyes were also red.
How could this person be so bad!
Looking at Xia Qingshu's appearance, Xia Yubin smiled comfortably, finally feeling proud in front of him.
She has a seductive look and is good at seducing men. Without men, she is nothing.
Only by relying on yourself can you shine forever!
Xia Yubin confidently pushed open the door and smiled sweetly at the girls at the door, "Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Let's take a photo together."
The girls were stunned for a moment, pointed at Xia Qingshu behind Xia Yubin and said, "Sorry, we want to take a photo with him."
Xia Qingshu was a little surprised, and pointed at himself with his mouth half open:? ?
"Yeah, Brother Xia Qingshu, we just want to take a photo with you!!!"
After getting approval, several little girls chattered and rushed forward to surround Xia Qingshu.
"Little brother, your face is so small, I need to step back a little, otherwise my face will look big!"
"Brother, your skin is so good, did you really just apply baby cream?!"
After taking the photos, several girls whispered, "Who was that guy just now? He was so arrogant and even hired bodyguards. I didn't even see a single fan of his!"
Xia Yubin's face cracked when he heard their discussion.
