Chapter 202 The Hope of the Whole Family
"Buy me a manor, the kind with a winery."
"Huh? What made you suddenly decide to buy a winery? Don't we already have one at home?"
Xia Chengjun didn't understand why he suddenly wanted to buy the winery again. Didn't his older brother say before that it would involve so much trouble?
"It's useful. Remember, don't use the Xia family's name. Find someone who has no connection to the Xia family."
"oh."
Xia Chengjun wanted to ask something more, but Xia Chengan had already hung up. Looking at the disconnected phone, Xia Chengjun felt that things were not simple.
Alvis wrapped his arms around Xia Chengjun's waist from behind, rested his chin on Xia's shoulder, and pressed his cheek against Xia's.
The voice deepened slightly because of this intimate gesture, but it sounded exceptionally pleasant.
"Your brother's phone call?"
"Hmm, you asked me for help. Why did you suddenly come? Didn't you say you had important business to attend to today?"
When Alvis returned from China, Old Hill had his bodyguards forcibly take him back as soon as he got off the plane.
Xia Chengjun knew that Old Sher must have heard about the plane crash, and was worried about Alvis's safety, while also having some complaints about him.
Xia Chengjun did not stop him, but it would probably be quite a struggle for Alvis to appear by his side again.
It just so happens that Xia Chengjun is about to purge a group of people, and it would be easier for him to do so without Alvis.
Sure enough, for a whole month, Alvis did not appear by Xia Chengjun's side. He would only call occasionally, and hang up after saying a few words.
Xia Chengjun understood that this meant their relationship was coming to an end.
Their relationship began with Ilvis's relentless pursuit.
Xia Chengjun liked that young and handsome face, but he knew that Alvis was not the same kind of person as him; he didn't like men.
Smart people always understand that some people are not to be messed with, or even provoked.
Alvis's status meant he wasn't one of those casual lovers; Xia Chengjun couldn't handle the consequences of their relationship.
Knowing he shouldn't mess with them, Xia Chengjun took the initiative to distance himself from Alvis from the beginning, maintaining a professional and aloof demeanor.
Who would have thought that the boy's love would be so passionate and clear, and so full of irresistible enthusiasm?
Through repeated relentless pursuit, principles gradually yielded to that person.
Ignoring their status and Xia Chengjun's attitude, I relentlessly pursued them, wanting to unite their blood and flesh together.
There were many moments when Xia Chengjun admitted that he was moved.
Who wouldn't love a young man who wholeheartedly believes in you, supports you, and shines upon you?
Xia Chengjun is consciously and deeply immersed in his love for Alvis.
At the same time, they are keenly aware that one day they will walk down two parallel paths and never intersect again.
When they got off the plane and saw the well-organized bodyguards, Xia Chengjun wasn't as optimistic as Alvis; their parting was imminent.
Over the course of a month, Xia Chengjun went from being unaccustomed to the sudden absence of someone by his side to gradually getting used to the quiet of being alone.
It turns out, life was so noisy for just the two of them.
Just when Xia Chengjun thought that Alvis would never return, the boy appeared in front of him.
The breeze was gentle that day, and the sun shone brightly.
The boy, sporting a head of smooth blond hair, appeared before him with a grin like a silly dog.
He said, "I'm back. Did you miss me? I missed you so much!"
A familiar embrace, a familiar strength, a familiar taste.
The longing had seeped into my bones without me even realizing it, causing me unbearable pain.
They clung to each other passionately, expressing their longing for one another; they had long since become one with each other.
Yalvis said he convinced his brother not to object to them being together, and that Xia Chengjun was no child and knew how difficult it was.
He wouldn't have disappeared for a month if he hadn't been taught a lesson.
Xia Chengjun's heartache was hidden in his eyes and in the words he didn't say.
Alvis's thoughtfulness is hidden in the little things of daily life. They don't say "I love you," but their relationship is stronger than any vow.
Alvis started taking on some business and became busier, so he couldn't stick to Xia Chengjun every day like he used to.
Their relationship became even closer than before.
I was supposed to go to discuss a project and return tomorrow, but I missed Xia Chengjun, so I came back early.
"How about the collaboration?"
"No problem, there's nothing I can't negotiate with you."
Arvis arrogantly said that Xia Chengjun knew he had the ability to be arrogant, and with his own power, given enough time, Arvis could rise higher than old Hill.
"You're amazing. You must be tired. Go and rest. I'll have someone prepare a feast to welcome you back."
Alvis kissed Xia Chengjun's cheek, "No need for food, I ate on the plane, and now I want more..."
Alvis's kiss traced the outline of Xia Chengjun's face.
Xia Chengjun is eating meat, while Xia Chenggan hasn't even been able to get soup lately.
Xia Chenggan was busy, but Zhou Ran was even busier.
Xia Chenggan was busy with the company, while Zhou Ran was busy with the external arrangements and also had to take exams.
That's right, Zhou Ran, who has been skipping school and not attending classes, is about to take her final exams.
When he received the devastating news, he was engrossed in watching a TV series on the sofa, holding a fruit platter, and couldn't stop laughing.
Upon receiving Xia Chengan's notification, Zhou Ran instantly stopped laughing and looked as if she had lost her parents.
He had almost forgotten that he was a miserable high school student, a junior in high school.
After repeatedly confirming that she absolutely couldn't not go, Zhou Ran carried her schoolbag and rushed back to school, deciding to live on campus and begin her pre-exam sprint—memorizing answers.
If we're talking about Xia Cheng'an, he's the most reliable person. He's compiled all the materials that might be on the exam this semester and placed them in front of Zhou Ran.
"Holy crap! This is going to kill me!"
Looking at the materials that were almost half his height, Zhou Ran felt that even if he studied them to death, he would never finish learning them.
She looked at Xia Cheng'an pitifully, "Can I not memorize it? I don't plan to go to university, I don't need a diploma."
Xia Cheng'an shook his head with a cold face, "No, you're not afraid of losing face by coming in last place, but I don't want to lose face with you."
Xia Cheng'an clapped his hands, and Li Quan and Fu Xuan came in from outside and stood next to Xia Cheng'an.
Li Quan pointed to himself, "I'll take care of your math."
Fu Xuan tossed his multicolored hair. "I'll take care of your English."
"I am in charge of other subjects."
"We will supervise you to make sure you pass and your grades aren't too bad."
Zhou Ran covered her head. This age is both lovable and infuriating!
"I have a thousand ways to cheat without the teacher finding out and guarantee a passing grade. You don't need to do that."
Zhou Ran has plenty of methods; he can pass even without taking the exam. If all else fails, he has a superpower: donate a teaching building, and the school leaders should let him pass by with minimal effort.
"No, hurry up and memorize it. Use your smart brain. Stop thinking about those schemes and tricks all day. Give the bad guys some breathing room."
Xia Cheng'an knew about recent events and noticed that Zhou Ran and his older brother seemed to be looking for something, as if they had hit a bottleneck.
The two of them were too powerful, and their ruthless methods were terrifying.
Director Wang was arrested, the Shao family went bankrupt, and the uncle's family was forced to leave the country. One shocking thing after another made everyone feel extremely anxious and on edge.
Even if you have bad intentions at this point, you have to hide and wait for things to calm down before coming out.
Nobody wants to go against the grain and end up getting themselves killed by this couple.
Xia Cheng'an placed a math book in front of Zhou Ran, told Fu Xuan to rest, and gestured for Li Quan to come forward.
Li Quan sat down gently opposite Zhou Ran. "Take a look first. If there's anything you don't understand, ask me."
"oh."
Zhou Ran reluctantly picked up the book and started reading.
Fu Xuan and Xia Cheng'an sat at a table to one side.
Fu Xuan nudged Xia Cheng'an's arm with his elbow. "Xia Chengping is almost recovered. When are you going to call off the engagement with my family?"
The marriage was purely for show, and its only purpose was to bring good luck to the couple.
Now that Xia Chengping has woken up and the Xia family has stabilized, their engagement should be dissolved.
The thought of becoming engaged to my best friend sends chills down my spine.
“My brother mentioned it a while ago, but he’s been too busy lately. Once he’s free, it’ll probably be your turn.”
"Sigh, then I'll just have to endure it for a while longer. The Shao family has filed for bankruptcy. Was that your doing?"
Xia Cheng'an didn't hide it from him and nodded.
"Yes, it was my brother's doing. They took advantage of Xia Chengping's accident to secretly acquire Xia's shares. They're really ambitious."
"Damn, the Shao family is awesome. Even our family wouldn't dare to take advantage of our misfortune, yet they dared to make a move. Who gave them the courage?"
The Xia family was able to rise from second place to become the richest family entirely thanks to Uncle Xia's efforts. As long as he is alive, no matter how great the crisis, other powerful families will not dare to make a move.
The main reason is that Uncle Xia's ruthless methods back then left too many psychological scars; in private, they called Uncle Xia the Living Yama.
The Shao family is really something else. They've only been successful for a few years, and they already dare to mess with the tiger. Aren't they just asking for trouble?
"When the temptation and the profit are big enough, some people will take the risk. But there are other things involved."
Xia Cheng'an looked at Zhou Ran; Zhou Ran should know the specifics.
Fu Xuan followed Xia Cheng'an's gaze to Zhou Ran, who was scratching her hair in frustration, turning her neatly styled hair into a mess.
Li Quan, sitting opposite him, looked utterly defeated and hopeless.
The scene was both funny and heartwarming.
Fu Xuan's gaze lingered on Zhou Ran, filled with deep apprehension. It's good to have Zhou Shao as a friend, but don't let him become an enemy, or you won't even know how you died.
Thinking back to that phone call before the engagement banquet, Fu Xuan shook his head. He wasn't very cunning, so being a lackey was fine.
Xia Cheng'an, on the other hand, calmly continued flipping through the book in his hand. He was probably the hope of this family in the future.
The eldest brother seems to have fallen in love with Zhou Shao, that scoundrel, and he definitely won't let go.
Second Brother and Alvis, the gangster's son, are locked in a passionate, inseparable relationship, practically inseparable. Alvis is possessive, so I doubt they'll have any chance with the next generation.
After his heartbreak, the third brother found a new love and became very close to his bodyguard, which was officially recognized by the eldest brother.
Fourth Brother originally had a chance, but an accident left him bedridden, and he ended up with a fiancé, Fu Xuan, whom he married to bring good luck.
Although it's fake, the Fu family seems to want to make it a reality and doesn't intend to annul the engagement, so another family has fallen for it.
The Xia family has five sons, four of whom are hopeless. Xia Cheng'an, without putting in a single day of effort, has now become the family's hope. It's truly interesting; this is what you call winning without effort. Author's Note: Thank you to my mentor 9492239 (9492239) for your support!
