Chapter 008 Chapter 8

"Since he doesn't want to go back, why should Master Xie force him? After all, Xie Heng is an adult and shouldn't be treated like a child anymore." Master Hua had a gentle attitude and stood in front of Xue Chen without giving an inch.

The Hua family is the richest merchant family in Jiangnan and has a very high reputation.

They are in the real estate business, with businesses all over the country. Even the Yunjin Tower is a shop rented from the Hua family. Back then, Xie Heng was in charge of the family's business and had contacts with several masters of the Hua family. It was also at that time that he became friends with the Hua family.

Xie Zhang saw that although Hua Gongzi had a amiable smile but a very firm attitude, he did not dare to offend him and had to give in: "Hua Gongzi is right, it's just that my brother is not feeling well... Thank you for taking care of him for a few days , and when he has figured it out, I will take him home."

Hua Gongzi said: "Of course, it's reasonable for me to take good care of him."

"Have fun outside for a few days. No matter what, you are still a member of the Xie family, and the Xie family is your home." Xie Zhang looked at Xue Chen deeply, and said to the servants he brought with him: "Let's go!"

After Xie Zhang and others left, the pedestrians around them did not watch and dispersed.

Xue Chen looked at the playboy for a long time: "Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

"Even if I get into trouble, I can always solve it with some effort. Nothing is more important than you." The playboy was originally in a dull mood, and was obviously dissatisfied with Xie Zhang. When he heard that Xue Chen cared about him, he was happy and softened a lot. He smiled and asked: "Come back to the Hua family with me?"

"No need." Xue Chen said, "You shouldn't get involved in this matter."

"I said, you are my friend."

But I don't even know your nickname!

Even if I find out that you are Hua Ji Tong, I don't know your real name!

Xue Chen lowered his head: "Help me find a place to live, a quieter one."

The playboy said: "This is easy, but it will be tomorrow at the earliest. You can come home with me today. I also want to know what happened in these years."

Xue Chen raised his head.

Hua Gongzi said gently but firmly: "I have already participated in it. Don't I even have the qualifications to know the truth?"

Xue Chen: "Okay."

The relationship between the two people became closer invisibly.

Hua Gongzi asked: "My name is Hua Jingzhou. May I know

your name?" Xue Chen: [He is very polite. He gives his own name before asking others' names. If only everyone was so polite, it would save me a lot of trouble.]

System: [Indeed.]

"Mr. Hu."

Mr. Hu answered very straightforwardly, as if he was not worried about his true identity being recognized. Maybe he is not very famous in the underworld, or maybe this is just a fake name.

After getting to know each other, Mr. Hu pushed the wheelchair, and Hua Gongzi kept the same speed and walked side by side, occasionally giving Mr. Hu directions.

Xue Chen pretended to be in a bad mood and remained silent throughout the whole process, so as not to be discovered that he had never been here and was completely unfamiliar with this place. At the same time, he memorized the surrounding environment.

Hua Gongzi could see that Xue Chen was unwilling to deal with people, so he did not stop on the road, returned home as quickly as possible, and took him to his own yard.

"You can rest in the greenhouse first. The guest room has been unoccupied and has been empty for a long time, but someone comes to clean it every few days and change the bedding, and you will be able to move in soon." Hua Gongzi lifted his sleeves and poured a cup of tea, smiling at Xue Chen, "The brothers know you are here, they should come to see you, you..."

"I don't want to see them."

"Okay." Hua Gongzi sighed softly, winked at the servant at the door, and the servant turned and left.

Passing the cup to Xue Chen, Hua Gongzi smiled and said, "Try it. This is your favorite Junshan Yinzhen tea. My fourth brother brought it back from Yueyang a few days ago. The buds are golden yellow, covered with silver hairs, and the color of gold and jade is top-grade tea. I thought of you when I saw it."

Xue Chen took a sip.

Hua Gongzi was like a child sharing good things with his friends, with expectation in his eyes: "How is it?"

Xue Chen said: "Not bad."

The cold reply was far from Hua Gongzi's expectation. Facing Xue Chen's gloomy eyes, the loss that had just sprouted turned into sympathy for his friend.

Hua Gongzi: "If you like, pack a few pounds when you leave and drink it slowly."

Xue Chen shook his head slowly: "No need."

Hua Gongzi said helplessly: "You make me not know what to do."

"I won't stay here for too long. I have other places to go, and I don't want to see old friends again. Why do you force yourself to get along with me, a cripple with a weird temper?"

"Xie Heng!" Hua Gongzi restrained his smile, "I don't know what you have been through, nor do I know how painful it is after losing your legs, but I know you are only twenty-four years old now, and you have wasted five years of your life. Are you going to live in chaos like this in the future? Are you worthy of yourself by complaining about yourself like this?"

Xue Chen: [Self-pity, did you hear that, he said I was complaining about myself! What about my synchronization rate? 】

System: […I don’t want to disturb your performance. I’ve saved it for you. We’ll report it together when you’re done.]

Xue Chen praised it: [Well done! But you have to pay attention next time. Tell me in advance. I thought I didn’t perform well and didn’t meet the standards set by the vest.]

System: [Okay.]

Xue Chen turned his face away, refusing to communicate, and avoided the sight of the playboy.

The playboy knew that he shouldn’t do this. Xie Heng seemed to have had a quarrel with his family, and his legs couldn’t walk. If no one took care of him, even if he was alive, he would lose some of his dignity.

It’s normal for one’s temperament to change drastically when he is just injured, but after so many years, Xie Heng still can’t get out of this situation. It’s probably because no one around him really cares about him and helps him relieve his worries. There may even be a bad environment that constantly stimulates him and makes him restless.

What Xie Heng needs now is the comfort of his friends, not accusations.

"I'll take you somewhere." Hua Gongzi said, and without waiting for Xue Chen to reply, he picked him up and walked out.

The wheelchair stopped outside the greenhouse. Xue Chen was carried in by Hu Sheng. Hu Sheng didn't know what he was doing and didn't stay nearby.

Xue Chen was startled by Hua Gongzi and subconsciously reached out and grabbed his shoulder.

[This guy looks quite thin, but he actually has biceps. ] Xue Chen was a little envious, [I want it too. I must draw a strong person in my next vest. ]

The system said: [I have told you many times, I don’t have that authority.]

Xue Chen: [I know, I know, I didn’t ask you to do anything behind the scenes, do you understand?]

System: […]

Xue Chen grabbed him tightly and said in shame, "What are you doing? Put me down!"

Hua Gongzi was unmoved, walked out of the greenhouse in a few steps, put Xue Chen on the wheelchair at the door, and pushed the wheelchair outside.

Xue Chen realized that he could only let others do what they wanted, with a gloomy face, he was taken out by Hua Gongzi in silence.

Hua Gongzi arranged a carriage, carried Xue Chen up, and sat him face to face, "The carriage is too small to fit the wheelchair, so I won’t take you. If you have anything, you can tell me directly."

Xue Chen said nothing.

The system comforted him: [Don't be angry, Ma Jia is just a part of your consciousness. When you get used to controlling several people at the same time, you won't take Ma Jia's experience so seriously.]

Xue Chen: [Why am I angry?]

System: [Then why don't you say anything?]

Xue Chen: [I'm thinking about something.]

System: [What are you thinking about?]

Xue Chen: [Thinking about what to say when I meet Hua Man Lou later. Hua Man Lou should not have been involved in the family business. Ma Jia and he are from the same hometown, so they must have met each other, but there is too little information to determine how close Ma Jia is to him. But a normal person should take good care of him. And then there is Lu Xiaofeng...]

Should we take the opportunity to expose Gong Jiu to Lu Xiaofeng's sight?

System: [Wait, meet Hua Man Lou? How do you know he wants to take you to see Hua Man Lou? 】

Xue Chen: [Ma Jia used to lead a busy and fulfilling life, working for the Xie family every day, and basically had no time for himself. In the past, the Xie family was too small, and Xie Heng and Hua Liutong had very different identities. Their interactions were only possible in business, and they didn't have much time to spend with each other in private.

[Otherwise, Hua Liutong wouldn't feel so guilty as he does now, and should have been more justified. It's unlikely that they have any common memories, so the place Hua Liutong took me to must not be a place of commemorative significance.

[Hua Liutong knew that I didn't want to get along with his brother. He looked around when he came out of the greenhouse, afraid of meeting someone. He should feel relieved when he got on the carriage, but he felt even more guilty. It was obvious that he wanted to take me to meet other people. In connection with what he just advised me, are there any other candidates besides Hua Manlou? ]

[So that's it. ] The system said, [But how do you know he is Hua Liutong's? ]

Xue Chen: [You are so stupid. ]

System: [...]

Xue Chen closed his eyes and continued to think about how to deal with Gong Jiu.

The carriage drove out of the city, ran along the path in the suburbs for a while, slowly slowed down, and stopped.

Hua Liutong got off the car first, turned around and stretched out his hand to Xue Chen: "Come."

Xue Chen hesitated for a moment, supported his body with his arms, moved a distance towards the door, and then held Hua Liutong's hand. Hua Liutong exerted a little force to give him enough support. Xue Chen couldn't stand up, and leaned forward under his strength. Before he fell, he was picked up by Hua Liutong.

Hua Liutong's arms were very strong, and he walked into the small building steadily.

The small building is far away from the human habitation, and the surrounding vegetation is lush, and the flowers planted inside are even more luxuriant. Whether they are rare and precious or can be seen everywhere, they are all well taken care of.

The wind here is very gentle and a little fresher than in the city.

Xue Chen's hair was blown up a little, blocking his view a little. He raised his hand to tidy it up, then put his arm down and saw a gentle and handsome young man walking out slowly.

The young man seemed a little puzzled: "If I'm not mistaken, there should be two guests coming."

Hua Liutong: "You guessed right."

Hua Manlou was still puzzled: "If you want to find someone to treat your illness, it's better to go to the clinic in the city."

Hua Liutong: "Perhaps only you can cure this disease."

Hua Manlou: "What disease is it?"

Hua Liutong: "Heart disease."

Hua Manlou: "So, this patient is an old friend."

Xue Chen was desperate and nestled in Hua Liutong's arms, answering with no desire to live: "It's me."

Hua Manlou smiled, and seemed very happy to meet Xue Chen: "Long time no see, Xie Heng."
