Chapter 485 How Old Are You?
Wang Chiai became more certain.
Everything that just happened was definitely Wang Xixing’s bad idea.
How could Ruan Wei, who couldn't understand the elders' expressions, have so many thoughts!
Wang Chiai, from an angle invisible to the public, gave Wang Xixing a fierce look.
You can see it naturally when you walk along the river.
However, Wang Xixing has been accustomed to Wang Chiai's appearance since he was a child, who is a gentleman in front of people but worse than a beast behind their backs.
She was in a state of confusion and asked, "Hey? Why are you looking at me, father?"
Wang Xixing asked openly.
Wang Chiai's mouth twitched fiercely: "You——"
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but Wang Chiai had to swallow them back.
So many people are watching.
Wang Chiai put on a fatherly smile again, and said to Wang Xixing very gently:
"You kid, your friends are coming to visit your home, but you didn't even tell them in advance. You've made a fool of yourself."
This sounds so sarcastic.
Wang Xixing also laughed: "Don't we have enough jokes in our Wang family?"
Wang Chiai's face changed.
Before Wang Xixing stopped, she narrowed her eyes, glanced up and down at Wang Chiai, and said mockingly:
"You're so fussy about it because you lack this one."
The truth.
Since he has already acknowledged his status as a direct descendant in public, Wang Xixing will never compromise himself.
What a bitch.
When it's time to spray, spray hard.
If you miss such a beautiful bitch now, it will be very difficult to meet such a bitch next time.
Wang Chiai: “…”
He was almost pissed off by this bastard bastard.
Wang Chiai's voice unconsciously took on a hint of coldness: "You! Wang... Xixing, why don't you quickly welcome Little Friend Ruan in and treat him well?!"
Wang Xixing rolled his eyes: "Oh."
She glanced towards the front door of her house.
Ruan Wei set the stage perfectly. She pretended to be innocent: "Oh, why is the door closed again? Uncle Wang won't let me in?"
Wang Chiai's eyes flickered slightly, and he forced a smile, trying to find an excuse to shirk responsibility: "My friend, what are you talking about? It's just that this gate——"
That little bastard Wang Xixing is not worthy!
Ruan Wei: "Shut up first."
Wang Chiai couldn't believe his ears: "..."
You and shut up.
Can these two words be used together?
Ruan Wei smiled and said, "My brother has been quite free recently."
Subtext: There's plenty of time to find something for you to do.
Looking at Chi Ai, "..."
He had already bitten his teeth to pieces in his heart.
Wang Chiai snorted coldly, turned around and yelled at the servants, "Do you two have any manners? Open the door. The Third Miss has brought her friends back and you're still trying to hide things. How can you be so secretive!"
Retainer: “…”
Going to work is annoying.
It’s even more annoying to meet a stupid boss.
The two guests opened the door while cursing in their hearts.
Wang Chiai turned around and looked kind and benevolent: "Okay, Xixing, quickly lead your friend in."
Wang Chiai seemed to be scolding the retainer, but actually he was scolding Wang Xixing.
After all, the person who came back secretively and stealthily was Wang Xixing.
This connotation is too gentle for Wang Xixing.
Wang Xixing was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Seeing the door open, she pulled Ruan Wei and stepped inside.
Wang Chiai: “…”
This damn girl!
Helplessly, the words had already been spoken. Even if Wang Chiai was reluctant, his identity as a direct descendant of Wang Xixing had already been announced through the shouting and answering just now.
The gate of the Wang family exudes a 'noble' atmosphere of direct descent.
Just go along the creek!
As soon as I entered the door.
Ruan Wei made a clicking sound.
She looked around and sighed, "You guys here are really..."
Wang Xixing smiled: "Magnificent?"
Ruan Wei nodded: "Noble."
After entering the main gate, everything you see is filled with the aura of money, spiritual stones.
To put it simply, such a house cannot be built without millions of years of accumulation.
Ruan Wei asked, "What kind of business is your Wang family doing? It's even more impressive than our Ruan family."
The Ruan family is located in the Central Plains and controls several spiritual stone veins. With the accumulation of generations of ancestors, it can be said that they are a very wealthy family among the aristocratic families.
But it didn't cost any money to build such a golden house.
Wang Xixing chuckled, "He used to make his fortune as a thug, but now he just collects taxes, which are getting higher every year."
"I don't earn much spirit stones, and I don't spend much either."
At least, it is rarely used on side branches.
Wang Xixing thought of her sister who had been imprisoned here since she was a child. She pursed her lips and said, "Let's go to my sister first."
Ruan Wei nodded: "Okay."
Wang Xixing led the way and said, "This is a new house, only direct descendants live there."
"Ever since I joined the Wanjian Sect, that old man Wang Chiai has allocated a corner of this courtyard to me. I've never been there, and I don't want to go."
Ruan Wei asked, "Where did you live originally?"
Wang Xixing spread his hands and said, "The side branches are all crowded in the old courtyard. This courtyard you are standing on, every brick and tile, was saved by Wang Chiai from the suffering of the side branches."
"Torture?" Ruan Wei murmured.
Wang Xixing glanced at her and the corners of his lips unconsciously straightened.
She whispered, "Yeah."
"torment."
-
Wang Xixing has been good at remembering things since he was young.
She remembers.
When the snow was falling heavily, I was only five or six years old, but I had to serve the charcoal brazier to my elder brother who was more than ten years old in the main courtyard.
She was so short at that time that her legs were not even as tall as the snow. If she accidentally dropped the basin, she would be beaten by the other supervisors.
Why is it Wangxixing?
In fact, it is not just about walking along the river.
The direct descendants of the Wang family will not regard the side branches as members of the clan.
In their eyes, side branches are like the family-born children in ancient times, which are cheap and safe to use.
Every child born in the old house, when they are a little older, will be taken to the main courtyard to be selected by the direct descendants. Those who are selected will become slaves, and those who are not selected will be thrown back.
Most of the children from the side branches are sent there only when they are ten years old.
What do the collateral parents think?
Those who love their children more naturally cannot bear to do so.
However, this does not include Wang Xixing's parents.
They could not afford the tribute set by the direct lineage, but if their children were chosen, the tribute could be reduced by several percent.
then.
Wang Xixing was only five years old when his parents sent him away to be selected.
She was very young at the time.
In fact, I didn't know what I should do, so I just stood there straight.
But it's just too small.
Too prominent.
Later someone told Wang Xixing.
It was because she was young, her eyes were too bright, she didn't like to smile, she just glanced at people lightly, didn't say much, and had a very cold appearance.
Because he was very different from the others in being timid, he was chosen by the eldest young master of his generation.
I won’t say much about the days after he was taken away.
For more than ten years after that, Wang Xixing could not sleep at night and never felt truly free.
Purgatory, why hide deep underground?
The same is true in the human world.
-
No need to say much.
Just by occasionally seeing the scars that could not be hidden between Wang Xixing's sleeves, Ruan Wei could already imagine it.
Wang Chiai did not follow the two of them.
At least not on the surface.
Who knows in secret?
The two of them walked to a remote corner, which was covered with weeds and branches, forming a sharp contrast with the entrance. It was a true portrayal of the increasingly desolate environment along the way.
This is probably the small courtyard in the corner.
Not even a human voice could be heard.
Not to mention human voices, there are quite a few miscellaneous sounds of insects and flies flapping their wings.
Ruan Wei let out a soft "tsk" and cursed him for child abuse.
Wang Xixing's expression remained unchanged. She had been here many times before. "Be careful, don't let the branches scratch your face."
She paused and joked, "I can't afford to compensate you for your face."
Ruan Wei: "...Open the door."
Strictly speaking, Ruan Wei can definitely not be called a compassionate person.
but.
She also never disdains bullying the weak.
Such a young child was taken away from his parents, and his eldest sister also left home. He grew up alone in this desolate yard until he was ten... one, two, three, four, five, six, seven years old.
Damn, how old are you?!
