Chapter 104: Would a real person say something untrue?
Xie Wude was standing on the left side of Old Lady Xie. When Old Lady Xie handed the incense to Xie Tingke, he quickly snatched it away and said, "Mother, Tingke is a junior. We elders haven't burnt incense for our third brother yet, so how can it be the turn of the juniors?"
When Mrs. Xie heard this, her eyes changed slightly, as if she remembered something, and said, "That's right, Ting Ke is a junior, and I am getting older and more and more disorganized in doing things."
How could Ting Ke be allowed to bypass so many elders and offer incense to Zhao De first? Isn't this just an attempt to cover up something?
After the elders finished burning incense, when it was Xie Tingke's turn, for some unknown reason, the incense sticks had just run out.
Xie Shiyuan had three incense sticks in her hand in advance. In this delicate and awkward situation, she took the initiative to step forward and handed over the incense in her hand.
The moment their palms touched, their fingertips slid across the man's warm palm.
Xie Tingke was the only one who heard that voice. "I thought that during the time I was missing, you and Xie Wude had already become a loving family, but it turns out that's not the case."
"They are deliberately embarrassing you."
How come such a high-level temple had run out of incense sticks just when it was Xie Tingke's turn?
Xie Tingke ignored him and, with a solemn expression, lit three incense sticks for Xie Zhaode in a proper manner.
Xie Shiyuan looked at the portrait of the man who had died young, and tried to find some similarities between that face and Xie Tingke.
Apart from the similarity in their eye shapes and the fact that they both have a pair of naturally cold eyes, there is really no other similarity between the two.
However, when Xie Shiyuan looked at the man in the portrait, he suddenly felt a sense of absurdity.
Perhaps it was the original owner's memory that was playing tricks on her. She seemed to have seen this man somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where he was for a while.
Old Mrs. Xie has a particularly deep affection for her youngest son.
It's strange that even a strong and decisive woman like Mrs. Xie would feel sad sometimes. Her eyes were filled with sorrow and moist, and she tried hard not to let the tears flow down.
But she couldn't hold back her tears. Perhaps a feeling of regret welled up in her heart. She didn't know what she was regretting. Old Mrs. Xie kept wiping her tears, looking at Xie Tingke, and suddenly looked at Xie Shiyuan.
"!?" Xie Shiyuan was confused by the look on his face and glanced at Xie Wude out of the corner of his eye.
As expected, Xie Wude's face was as gloomy as a dark cloud, extremely ugly.
Suspected that he was cuckolded.
A man will only show this kind of expression when he is cuckolded. Disgust is not enough to describe the twisted hatred.
Xie Wude hated her, hated Xie Tingke, and hated the man in the portrait even more.
"Wu De, your third brother is actually very pitiful, right? He was so young, and he didn't even enjoy a few days of wealth and luxury, but he abandoned everything and left home. He always wanted to prove something to me, but in the end, he ended up with nothing." Old Mrs. Xie sighed.
Xie Wude quickly suppressed his hatred and forced a smile, "Third brother made his own choice, and I won't regret it."
"You are much happier than the third child." Old Mrs. Xie said again.
Xie Wude gritted his teeth and remained silent.
Yes, he is happy. He is happy to help the third brother raise his illegitimate child!
Xie Shiyuan discovered this interesting phenomenon and smiled.
Suddenly, a more hateful gaze was stared at her.
Looking up, who else could it be but Xie Yuanyuan.
Xie Yuanyuan had the same tears in her eyes as Old Lady Xie, and was feeling sad for her loved ones' prayers.
He comforted the old lady with words of comfort, "Uncle San's spirit in heaven will see that we all remember him, and he won't be lonely anymore."
These words hit the mark on what Old Mrs. Xie was thinking, and she felt much better.
For the rest of the time, the monks chanted sutras.
Xie Shiyuan yawned a few times, and Xie Tingke glared at him fiercely.
She shut up.
The monks took too long to chant. The rich and powerful families were very particular about this, but this particularity was extremely strict and beyond her imagination.
Everyone must kneel down, bow their heads reverently, and pray solemnly and sincerely.
Five hours.
Iron man wants to sleep.
Xie Shiyuan curled her lips and blinked her beautiful big eyes at Xie Tingke.
Xie Tingke was really impressed.
What kind of occasion is this? How dare you tease him in front of his portrait?
Don't think that he has forgotten about her taking the opportunity to hook his palm before.
"Brother, are you Uncle San's child?" She breathed into the man's ear in a very soft voice.
Xie Shiyuan took advantage of the moment when everyone lowered their heads and moved close to Xie Tingke's ear, almost biting his earlobe.
However, the girl's warm pink lips just brushed past, and she said ambiguously, "If you are really Uncle San's child, we will become real siblings."
"But I don't want to be a real brother and sister with you."
The volume of this sentence suddenly rose, and her pink lips almost kissed his cold cheek on such a solemn occasion.
There are people all around.
Old Mrs. Xie was kneeling right in front.
The elders all knelt in front.
The huge Buddha statue sits in mid-air, lifelike and emitting glittering golden light.
The sound of monks chanting scriptures and the rich scent of sandalwood lingering in the air all remind us of the occasion.
Xie Tingke simply thought that he was crazy to hear Xie Shiyuan's sudden words.
She knelt at the back so no one could see her, and placed her soft hands on his legs. "Who are you?"
This sentence touched Xie Tingke's heart.
If he didn't know that she was different from them, he would have thought that she was sent by those people to test him.
Who is he?
Xie Tingke also often asks himself this question.
Is he the precious grandson favored by Old Lady Xie, or is he the "son" whom Xie Shiyuan's mother regards as her own son?
Or maybe, he is Xie Shiyuan's brother?
Xie Tingke knew that whenever Xie Shiyuan appeared in any situation, bad things would happen.
Her mind was too jumpy.
She started talking crazy again and asking crazy questions.
"I'm your brother." The man suppressed his voice.
Xie Shiyuan got closer and closer to him, just like a fox that appeared in a solemn and precious place, and Xie Tingke was the enlightened monk who was seduced.
But he did not have the compassion of a monk. His eyes and brows were cold and indifferent, as cold as an ice sculpture.
"I hate that you are my brother. My brother would not be so cruel to me and ignore my suffering. My brother would protect me and he would definitely treat me as the only sister he loves."
Xie Tingke's expression changed slightly, which was rare. He looked at Xie Shiyuan steadily. She didn't look crazy at all when she suddenly said such words.
This made him think of many things.
I almost thought Xie Shiyuan had discovered...those secrets.
"Would a real person say something untrue?" Xie Shiyuan lowered her eyelashes and murmured, "Why is everyone so full of lies?"
The dark light deep in Xie Tingke's eyes changed drastically.
But he forcibly suppressed that change.
