That's how it was settled.
When Xia Qingshu came out of the teahouse, he still felt something was magical.
The three of them agreed that Xia Qingshu would give birth to the child and then pretend that it was Mother Chen's. The three of them kept the origin of the child secret. The Chen family would privately sign a donation agreement, giving Xia Qingshu 5 billion yuan, and Xia Qingshu must ensure that the child is born healthy.
Xia Qingshu is not going to some island to give birth to a child. He got pregnant in August and will give birth in March next year. He is thin to begin with, so he can cover it up by wearing more clothes. As long as the health of both adults and children is ensured, it will be fine.
Mother and Father Chen thought it was feasible and agreed.
After the discussion, Chen's mother and father were extremely concerned about Xia Qingshu's health. "Qingshu, be careful. Watch the stairs... Hey, we're turning a corner. Walk slowly. Be careful not to bump into the passers-by running towards you from the opposite direction."
Xia Qingshu: “…”
Oh, I have become a rare protected animal.
"Come, I'll help you walk," Chen's mother said caringly, "Qingshu, when you go home, you should drink more soup and avoid cold drinks, milk tea, and coffee. They're not good for your health. Look how thin you are. It hurts your heart to see you like that."
Father Chen: "I will arrange for someone to send two trucks of supplements to your house later."
Xia Qingshu waved his hand to stop them: "Don't be like this. You are so passionate and unrestrained. Even a blind person would know that there is something wrong with me. Now that Auntie is pregnant, shouldn't she be the focus of protection?"
Mother Chen and Father Chen nodded in agreement.
Father Chen turned around and stroked Mother Chen, but both of them still kept their eyes on Xia Qingshu.
"You should be moderate when using your cell phone, as it emits radiation."
"Don't do strenuous exercise in the early stages of pregnancy, and get more rest."
"Qingshu, please walk carefully and be careful not to fall on the ground."
Xia Qingshu: “…”
His character is a little silly, but he doesn't have polio, so there's no need to worry about him falling.
They were still arguing with each other a few minutes ago, and Xia Qingshu was a little uncomfortable with the sudden concern.
Humph, so be it. I don’t get to meet Mr. and Mrs. Chen very often anyway.
~
Not long after, the Chen family sent an invitation to their whole family to a banquet. The reason for the invitation was that Chen's mother was pregnant.
The Xia family had originally planned to hold a grand welcoming banquet for Xia Qingshu a week later when Xia Ji returned home from a business trip. Unexpectedly, the Chen family sent the invitation first.
Xia Qingshu was the youngest son of the Xia family and this was his first appearance in the circle. Chen Qixi attached great importance to it and she summoned a makeup team to dress Xia Qingshu up beautifully.
What surprised Xia Qingshu was that Xia Yubin, who had been wandering outside, came back.
In "Exclusive Love", because Xia Jing is pedantic and old-fashioned and cannot accept Xia Yubin's colorful emotional life, Xia Yubin has to deal with different men every day and has no time to maintain family relationships. Therefore, Xia Yubin's relationship with his family is not harmonious, and he does not care about his family's love.
After he got involved with the first man, he rarely came home.
When Xia Yubin came back, he first cried to Chen Qixi and Xia Jing, admitted his mistakes, and swore to heaven that he would never bully Xia Qingshu again.
He explained the reason why he bullied Xia Qingshu in the beginning, which was because he was afraid of losing the love of Chen Qixi, Xia Jing and his brothers.
He cried so hard that his anus was broken. The regret, self-blame, guilt, and determination to change his past mistakes made people wonder if he was drunk.
Xia Qingshu did not suffer any substantial harm from the cyber-bullying incident, but instead gained a little fame.
In contrast, Xia Yubin’s biological father, Xia Laoer, was not very close to him and would not even let him into the house.
Chen Qixi and Xia Jing's hearts softened when they heard Xia Yubin crying and saying that Xia Laoer asked him to move to Grandpa Xia's 38-square-meter shed, where nine people would squeeze together.
Xia Yubin was in tears and knelt down to admit her mistake to Xia Qingshu.
Xia Qingshu was very surprised that Xia Yubin would go to such lengths to win back his family.
Chen Qixi asked Xia Qingshu to make the decision. If Xia Qingshu forgave Xia Yubin, the matter would be over. Xia Qingshu saw that Chen Qixi was willing to forgive, and Xia Yubin was also punished accordingly. Moreover, he was not hurt from beginning to end, nor did he make things difficult for Xia Yubin.
So, they went to the Chen family for a banquet in the evening, and there were five people from the Xia family in total.
After forgiving Xia Yubin, Xia Qingshu's status in the eyes of Chen Qixi and Xia Jing became even higher - who is this beautiful and kind-hearted little angel? !
He is kind-hearted, does not bear grudges, is broad-minded and understands the overall situation. In order to maintain family harmony, he is willing to sacrifice himself.
In the days to come, they will definitely be extra nice to the little angel.
~
Among the five people in the Xia family, Xia Qingshu is the most handsome. Xia Yubin is very tactful and dresses very low-key.
Xia Qingshu is good-looking to begin with. Even without dressing up, she is the most eye-catching person in the crowd. After dressing up a little, people can't take their eyes off her.
The makeup artist took full advantage of his facial features without going too hard on the styling. He just wore a textured shirt with a small bow tie, his hair was simply styled, his eyebrows were trimmed and he didn't wear any makeup. He looked like the little prince who walked out of an oil painting.
Fresh, refined, elegant and noble.
Chen Zhiyu was sitting on the balcony and saw Xia Qingshu coming in dressed up.
Xia Qingshu walked in the moonlight, lotus blossoming at every step, and slowly approached, looking up at him.
His eyes were moving, his brows were expressive, and his eyes were filled with love and joy.
He opened his red lips slightly, and his voice seemed to be filled with dancing spirits, "Brother Zhiyu!"
Chen Zhiyu's leg injury has improved and he is now able to stand on his own.
He stood up, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Along with the crisp call of "Brother Zhiyu", the familiar scent of lemon milk blew towards me in the wind.
Refreshing.
Chen Zhiyu was a little upset.
Xia Qingshu likes him so much, but he can't respond immediately. Isn't that too cruel?
He is naturally not able to empathize. When he sees the protagonists in idol dramas who are madly in love, he sometimes wonders if the screenwriter’s head is stuck in a door.
The audience’s genuine reactions made him realize that it was he who was different.
He has a cold personality and is not born to be a romantic person.
For him, Xia Qingshu worked hard to become excellent and get closer to him, but he would not be easily moved like him.
He couldn't help but wonder whether he should tell Xia Qingshu not to be so passionate like a moth to a flame, because in the end his love was not reciprocated, but he was hurt all over.
"Brother Zhiyu!" Xia Qingshu called out again when he got no response the first time.
Because of the agreement, Xia Qingshu felt a little embarrassed. Brother Zhiyu broke his leg to save him, but he secretly hid it and gave birth to Brother Zhiyu's child.
The most outrageous thing is that the child becomes a younger brother (or sister).
When Zhiyu’s children grow up, they will call him “brother”.
Thinking of this, Xia Qingshu felt even more ashamed, and his bright little eyes looked around.
When Chen Zhiyu came back to his senses, he saw Xia Qingshu avoiding his gaze, as if he had met his lover and was shy. He wanted to make eye contact with the other person but was very cautious.
This scene was also seen by Xia Jing and Chen Qixi. The two looked at each other, and Xia Jing whispered, "Where is the high-quality young man you introduced to Qingshu last time?"
Chen Qixi blinked at him and said, "Inside."
Xia Jing understood and pulled Xia Qingshu into the house.
~
As soon as Xia Qingshu walked into the Chen family villa, he felt the gazes from all directions.
He had seen this kind of attention too many times, and he didn't feel panic at all. He followed Chen Qixi and Xia Jing and communicated with them very naturally.
Many people secretly admired Xia Qingshu's good temperament.
Chen Qixi's original intention today was to support Xia Qingshu. After Xia Yubin followed him in, he walked away in a low-key manner.
~
"Auntie Chen, you look so good during pregnancy." He Yuanyuan and Chen Shuang were complimenting Auntie Chen.
Chen Shuang nodded and said, "Sister, congratulations."
Seeing Xia Qingshu, He Yuanyuan secretly bumped into Chen Shuang.
He Yuanyuan is the daughter of Chen Shuang's best friend. She is quite ambitious but lacks the ability to achieve the required skills. After graduating from university, she stayed at home to do nothing and only wanted to marry into a wealthy family and enjoy the fruits of her labor.
Chen Shuang's academic performance in college was not good, and she relied on her best friend to teach her about exams. Her graduation thesis was also completed by her best friend. She was able to graduate thanks to her best friend. It is only right to take better care of your best friend's daughter now. When she heard that the Chen family was holding a banquet, her best friend came to her and begged for help. After all, it was her sister's family, so Chen Shuang took her along.
Upon learning that Xia Qingshu often appeared around Chen Zhiyu and caused Chen Zhiyu to break his leg, He Yuanyuan felt a great sense of crisis.
Chen Shuang received He Yuanyuan's signal, held a glass of cocktail, clinked the milk in Chen's mother's hand, and nodded towards Xia Qingshu, "Sister, there's another person who covets Zhiyu, and he's dressed like a fairy."
Mother Chen glanced at Xia Qingshu, took a sip of milk, and frowned.
He Yuanyuan nudged Chen Shuang with her elbow and winked.
Chen Shuang continued, "That Xia Qingshu looks too much like Chen Qixi, with a pair of seductive fox eyes. I heard that he has been very close to Zhiyu recently... Sister, go slowly, watch your stomach!"
Seeing Chen Rao walking towards Xia Qingshu aggressively, Chen Shuang winked at He Yuanyuan.
He Yuanyuan gave her a reluctant look and followed Chen Rao closely.
As soon as Xia Qingshu entered the room, Chen Rao focused his eyes on his belly. Xia Qingshu had a flat belly, a belt around his waist, and his shirt tucked into his trousers, making his waist look very thin.
Chen Rao had reached middle age and had gained some weight. Sometimes when he ate a little more, the belt would tighten around his stomach and he would feel like he couldn't breathe.
Xia Qingshu's belt is so tight, will it strangle his fat grandson?
Chen Rao walked over and whispered, "Qingshu, loosen your belt a notch."
Xia Qingshu: “…”
"No!" Somewhat angry.
"Hey, don't be angry." Chen Rao apologized quickly.
She thought to herself, forget it, but she couldn’t let her pregnant husband get so emotional.
Chen Rao has always regarded herself as the richest mother and has always been the object of everyone's pursuit. She has never been as humble as she is today. Of course, she herself did not realize that, in the eyes of those who were paying attention, it seemed that Chen Rao was speechless after being criticized by Xia Qingshu.
Seeing Chen Rao being humiliated, He Yuanyuan followed closely and said to Xia Qingshu, "People who grew up in a poor family are so rude!"
Xia Qingshu:? ?
I get very angry when I'm called rude for no reason.
People who stand on the moral high ground and accuse others of being impolite have low quality themselves. A truly cultured person will not make random definitions of others in public.
He couldn't retort either. If he got a little emotional or used harsh words, it would prove that he was impolite.
Xia Qingshu slowly raised his eyelids and looked He Yuanyuan up and down, front and back, left and right. His eyes were filled with a strong sense of disgust and contempt. He replied weakly, "It's not surprising that someone like you would have such thoughts."
His voice was low and unhurried, and although the tone was smooth, the sarcasm was amplified tenfold.
He Yuanyuan was twisted into a capital "米" character, and she screamed, "What do you mean?!!"
Her voice was so loud that people around her looked over and the air was filled with whispers, some of which included comments like "so noisy" and "how uncivilized it is to yell so loudly!"
Chen Rao glanced at Chen Shuang and asked her to drag He Yuanyuan away.
Chen Shuang smiled and stepped forward to smooth things over, whispering, "Yuanyuan, my sister is still here."
He Yuanyuan had never expected Xia Qingshu to be so venomous. She knew that the occasion was not right and it was inconvenient for her to lose her temper. She apologized with a frown on her face, "Aunt Chen, I'm sorry, Yuanyuan was rude just now."
She walked up to Chen Rao and said, "Aunt Chen, last time I went to Shijing Temple, I had the honor of meeting Master Wuchan. Master Wuchan is rarely seen, and I thought I couldn't miss the opportunity, so I asked Master Wuchan to help me look at Brother Zhiyu's fortune. Master Wuchan said that Brother Zhiyu's five elements belong to earth, and he can't get close to people with wood. Sure enough, Brother Zhiyu had a simple meal with Xia Qingshu and his leg was injured. Fire produces earth, and the person who is compatible with Brother Zhiyu should be of earth attribute first."
Chen Shuang said flatteringly, "It's very difficult to make an appointment with Master Wuchan. Yuanyuan, you are so lucky. Hey, Yuanyuan, don't your five elements carry five fires?"
He Yuanyuan smiled shyly, turned around and imitated Xia Qingshu. After sizing him up, she said to Chen Rao, "From the looks of him, it's obvious that he's infertile."
Xia Qingshu:? ?
Madam, did I dig up your ancestors' graves in my previous life? Why are we so hostile to each other as soon as we meet when we don't even know each other? !
He was not angry, but covered his mouth and snickered, "What kind of old woman's tone is this?"
He Yuanyuan: "What big wife?!"
Xia Qingshu shook his head and explained to her seriously: "You are the kind of person who thinks you are Brother Zhiyu's first wife. If you don't know, you would think you are here to choose a concubine for Brother Zhiyu?"
He Yuanyuan: “You!”
When her thoughts were exposed, He Yuanyuan became furious and grabbed the cup and poured it on Xia Qingshu.
Ah, my big fat grandson!
Chen Rao dodged and stood in front of Xia Qingshu, with wine splashing all over his face.
Xia Qingshu was unharmed and hid behind Chen Rao, making faces at He Yuanyuan.
He Yuanyuan was stunned: "Aunt Chen, I'm sorry, I'm not..."
Xia Qingshu approached Chen Rao and said softly, "Auntie, who is this? When I saw her, I felt very uncomfortable."
Chen Rao: "Someone, drag Miss He out!"
Chen Shuang and He Yuanyuan: "......"
Who on earth is this Xia Qingshu that Chen Rao loves him so much?
He Yuanyuan paced back and forth and left angrily.
After defeating a vicious female supporting role, Xia Qingshu was in a good mood and took a sip of the iced cola.
Chen Rao wiped the wine off her face, and before she had time to put on makeup again, her uneasy heart was lifted again.
That's Coke, it contains caffeine and is very stimulating. What if her fat grandson can't get enough rest?
There is such a big piece of ice in the Coke. Does Xia Qingshu want to freeze his fat grandson to death? !
This Xia Qingshu is really restless day by day.
Chen Rao raised his hand to take away the iced cola in his hand, and pulled the attendant next to him: "Give him a cup of hot milk. Oh, wait, milk is too plain, add some oatmeal."
Xia Qingshu: “???”
Just now, when He Yuanyuan targeted Xia Qingshu, she attracted Chen Qixi's attention. She was being dragged by someone at the time and had no way to split herself. Later, when she saw Xia Qingshu deal with He Yuanyuan, she felt proud of it. Now seeing Chen Rao struggling with Xia Qingshu again, Chen Qixi, who had free time, walked over.
Chen Qixi took the iced cola from Chen Rao and stuffed it back into Xia Qingshu's hands, "Qingshu, drink if you want."
Then, she gave Chen Rao a polite fake smile, "Sister Rao, Qingshu is young, so if you drink something cold, you won't have diarrhea like you do."
After Chen Qixi finished speaking, he left gracefully with Xia Qingshu.
Chen Rao was so angry that he was fuming!
This Chen Qixi is always making trouble!
She is just a few days older than Chen Qixi, why should I call her sister? !
She is still young, why is she so shy? ! How could she have diarrhea? !
Chen Shuang was dumbfounded when she saw Chen Rao standing there helplessly and furiously, "Sister, be careful with the child!"
She had never seen her sister be so forbearing, and couldn't help but ask, "Sister, why are you so nice to Xia Qingshu?"
Chen Rao snorted coldly.
Because of the agreement, she couldn't explain, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Do you think I want to be nice to him?!"
It’s because he has the hope of the Chen family in his heart!
Chen Shuang thought about what she had learned about Xia Qingshu and Zhiyu before, and suddenly understood.
Her sister doesn't like Xia Qingshu, but Zhiyu does.
Looking at Chen Qixi's arrogant back, Chen Shuang suddenly realized: As expected, the mother-in-law and the mother-in-law are born to incompatible.
And the most important thing is: the disharmonious relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not affected by gender!
~
Xia Qingshu walked around the Chen family mansion when a servant called him from behind and told him that Mr. Chen wanted him to come over.
Xia Qingshu followed the attendant to the conference room on the second floor. As soon as he opened the door, he saw several people sitting in the conference room. Xia Yubin was also sitting in an inconspicuous corner.
"Brother Zhiyu." He was stared at by everyone in the room. Although his face was calm, the tone of his voice sounded like he was asking for help. A pair of beautiful eyes stared at him closely, like a frightened rabbit.
"Come here." Chen Zhiyu pointed at the sofa opposite him, and the person next to him took the initiative to move aside to make room.
Xia Qingshu walked over slowly, sat in front of him, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Zhiyu, why did you call me here?"
His eyes were clear, filled with joy and happiness, the kind of happiness that comes from having the attention of your loved one.
Young people's love is like this, passionate and fresh.
Just a little flame can make it as brilliant and eternal as the Flaming Mountain.
Chen Zhiyu was pleased by his expression and smiled comfortably, "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to do something related to music production? The people here are all CEOs of entertainment companies. If you have any ideas, you can talk to them."
There are three major companies in the entertainment industry, two of which are involved in the music record industry. In the past decade, the record industry has not been very prosperous. There are fewer and fewer singers with personality, and most record sales come from fan circles. There is a lack of songs that are sung by people. Excellent singer-songwriters are talents that record companies are competing for.
After listening to Chen Zhiyu's introduction, everyone became very interested in Xia Qingshu.
Mr. Wu from Duyao Entertainment knew that Xia Qingshu was Chen Qixi's son, and had seen his trending searches before. He said, "I think Xiao Xia is not suitable to be a producer."
Amid everyone's surprised gazes, Mr. Wu paused and said, "He is suitable to be in front of the camera and be a star."
Sure enough, everyone agreed.
"Xiao Xia is looking like this, she will definitely become a top star when she debuts."
"I'm a big fan of your mother."
"You seem to be suitable for acting. My company just got a big IP. The male lead in the movie has a similar temperament to you."
"......"
If an entertainment company wants to develop steadily, it cannot do without capital. In their eyes, Chen Zhiyu is a hot commodity that they are competing for openly and secretly. They approach Chen Zhiyu for different purposes. Everyone present here is a smart person. Xia Qingshu is someone Chen Zhiyu values. Giving face to Xia Qingshu is giving face to Chen Zhiyuan.
Praises came pouring in.
Xia Qingshu felt a little embarrassed by the praise and half lowered his head, "I just want to try music production."
There were several musicians sitting in the corner of the room. Mr. Wu pointed at two singers with long hair and said, "Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li, sing a few lines of your songs for us to hear. Xiao Xia, listen and see if they can become popular. Or see if you can produce their songs."
The two young men named Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li stood up without saying a word and roared loudly.
Xia Qingshu: “…”
Chen Zhiyu has invested in entertainment industry projects, although not many, but he still has some understanding of the current situation of the entertainment ecosystem. Low-level singers like Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li lack exposure, and entertainment companies are filled with talented people, so it is difficult for them to have a chance to stand out.
This seemingly humiliating live performance is actually much better than those occasions of accompanying drinking and socializing. It is also an opportunity to show off in front of investors. So they were not shy at all and showed their talents to the fullest.
Xia Qingshu was obviously frightened, his eyes were wide open and his mouth was flat.
He was a little surprised by this way of suddenly being asked to perform, just like when he was halfway through the New Year's Eve dinner and was suddenly called out by his parents to perform for the elders.
But slowly, he was attracted by the music, his eyes narrowed, and he seemed to enjoy it vaguely.
Chen Zhiyu found it funny to himself.
This little guy was always mumbling about wanting to be a "gold medal producer", but he became timid after meeting two singers.
With this secret laugh, he suddenly realized that he had been laughing too much recently.
Realizing this, his brows furrowed and his face tensed again.
After Xiao Li and Xiao Zhang finished singing, Chen Zhiyu asked in a serious tone, "Qingshu, what do you think?"
To be honest, Xia Qingshu doesn't know much about music and can't make a professional evaluation. Although he is not professional enough, it does not prevent him from appreciating good songs.
He nodded repeatedly, "Very good, a very good song, it will be popular."
After saying that, he looked at Chen Zhiyu as if asking for help.
Help! Stop cueing him. This situation is really more than a hundred million times embarrassing.
He wanted to leave immediately.
A pair of beautiful big eyes unconsciously showed pleading, and the long eyelashes trembled, looking pitiful.
Chen Zhiyu's heart softened, and the corners of his mouth began to rise unconsciously again.
No matter what the occasion, he is the only one in Xia Qingshu's eyes.
Mr. Wu turned around and said, "Xia Yubin, you sing one too."
Xia Yubin was very upset.
When Xia Qingshu was not here, Xia Yubin had always been the focus of attention in the room besides Chen Zhiyu.
When Xia Qingshu came, not only did she steal his attention, but she also asked him to sing for Xia Qingshu? !
I guess Xia Qingshu can't even read musical notation.
Chen Zhiyu is too ridiculous. He lets Xia Qingshu, that idiot, be the producer. He will just have to wait for the loss.
After Mr. Wu spoke, everyone in the room looked at him. Xia Yubin was not an ungrateful person, so he stood up and sang a few lines.
Xia Qingshu commented quietly: "It's not as good as those two just now."
Xia Yubin: “…”
Xia Qingshu thought for a moment and added, "I'm not emotionally invested."
Mr. Wu laughed and said, "Xiao Xia, Xia Yubin is alone without anyone to help him, so he is a little bit off. Do you want to listen to the duet between me and Xia Yubin?"
After Mr. Wu finished speaking, he stood up and walked to Xia Yubin.
Xia Yubin was sitting on a chair, but because of Mr. Wu's arrival, Xia Yubin had to stand up. Mr. Wu pushed him down and sat on the armrest of the chair, leaning most of his body on Xia Yubin, and put his hand on his shoulder with a smile.
Xia Yubin was somewhat reluctant, but had to put on a smile.
Looking from the side, it looked like Mr. Wu was riding on Xia Yubin's back.
Xia Qingshu looked at Mr. Wu's face full of acne and greasy belly, and suddenly remembered a Chinese proverb - a toad fucking a frog, they are ugly but playful.
Xia Qingshu lowered his head and smiled secretly while no one was paying attention.
His little action was seen by Chen Zhiyu, who raised his eyebrows at him.
He quickly clasped his hands together and bowed to Chen Zhiyu.
Xia Qingshu really doesn't like this kind of occasion.
Please, let him leave quietly and without a cloud.
Chen Zhiyu curled his lips and wanted to smile, but found that the corners of his mouth seemed to be curled all the time.
He raised his eyebrows and gave Xia Qingshu a look. Xia Qingshu felt as if he had been pardoned, his eyes sparkling. He bowed to him behind his back, exchanged a few words, and left in a hurry.
Not everyone present knew Xia Qingshu's identity. After Xia Qingshu left, someone asked, "Mr. Chen, who is Xiao Xia to you?"
Such a young and handsome boy, not sophisticated enough, but young and lively enough.
I just don’t know what talents he has that make Chen Zhiyu value him so much.
Chen Zhiyu thought for a moment and replied, "A little friend who likes me."
