Chapter 286 Xia Anan meets Chen Shan
Sometimes people are so strange. They try hard to pursue the rich life that they cannot get, but when they find out that this person is related to their deceased grandmother, Xia Anan can't help but feel resentment towards him. That resentment comes from her grandmother. She was raised by her grandmother since she was a child, and she knows how hard it is for a woman to raise a child, so at this moment she only wants to find the truth.
She had hatred in her heart, a hatred that went beyond the pursuit of money.
"……good."
Xia Houxi did not refuse. He also wanted to know what happened back then, because these old things were only known to the elders in the family, and his grandmother might understand what happened better.
Qin Lang seemed like an outsider and didn't say anything. Then the three of them left the hospital together. Qin Lang sat in another car, while Xia Anan and Xia Houxi sat together. After getting in the car, they were both silent.
I was shocked when I first heard Qin Lang talk about what Xiahou Yi had done, but now that such a long time has passed, I have gradually calmed down.
Xia Anan looked out the window silently. The backward figures and trees made her heart confused. For some reason, she thought of Butler Qin, who seemed gentle on the surface but actually spoke in a very funny way.
She turned her head and looked at Xia Houxi.
"You can hear it too, right?"
Without mentioning Qin Lang, she said it easily. Xia Houxi had already guessed Xia Anan's situation and nodded at her.
"yes."
After the two of them said this, they suddenly fell silent, but Xia Anan was not stupid.
"Then why us?"
Why not just anyone in this world? Why were they the ones who heard Butler Qin's voice?
Xiahou Xi was silent for a while before speaking.
"I have no idea."
That's right, he didn't know, he didn't know why, he didn't know what the reason was, but he was very sure of one thing.
"He's guiding us and getting us to the right end."
When Xia Houxi said this, he thought of his grandmother, who had not boarded the plane and had even stopped it. If she hadn't heard the thoughts of Butler Qin, would the plane have really crashed? If the plane had crashed, what kind of drastic changes would have happened to the Xia Hou family?
He didn't dare to imagine all this, but he was sure that he had changed his 'fate'.
"The correct ending?"
Xia Anan laughed sarcastically and looked at Xia Houxi without her previous pretense. Her eyes on her pretty face were as bright as stars but cold, with a suppressed hatred.
"I admit, I knew your grandfather was rich from the aunties dancing in the square before, so I was willing to step forward after he fell. I wanted to be your grandfather's savior. I wanted money, I wanted to get more from your grandfather."
She did not hide her intentions at all, although such thoughts were too simple and clear in front of Xia Houxi.
He nodded.
"I know. It's not your fault. People always have to seize every opportunity to move forward."
It's not greed, it's not vanity, it's just a desire to find a way to move up. If there is an opportunity, any man or woman will seize it.
Xia Anan shook her head.
"But I don't think so now. You probably don't know, but my grandmother was an orphan. After she raised my mother, she remarried many times. I was the daughter of my mother's first husband, but that man was a playboy. He cheated on me and abandoned us. My mother left me to my grandmother, actually my maternal grandmother, and she remarried."
"You know what? I grew up with my grandma, and I actually heard a lot of rumors. They said my grandma got married while she was pregnant, that my mom was just as fickle as my grandma, and that when I grow up I'll be a slut who seduces men like my grandma and my mom."
She spoke these words with a cold expression, which should have left marks on her body like needles. Xia Houxi listened quietly, without sympathy or curiosity.
"Later, my grandmother passed away, and my mother and her future husband snatched away the only house she left me. I don't hate her, because she was also helpless. I just hate myself. I hate why I'm not the bitch that those people call me. I can't even seduce anyone. The only chance I had was to save your grandfather, but he turned out to be the murderer who caused my grandmother's tragedy."
Life is always so wonderful. Facing a still unfamiliar Xia Houxi, Xia Anan analyzes her true self, which is quite ironic.
Xiahou Xi didn't say anything. Sometimes sympathizing with others is also a presumptuous act.
But Xia Anan suddenly laughed, and she just looked at the person in front of her and spoke word by word.
"So I don't want to let him go. I won't let go of the person who hurt my grandma and caused her a painful life."
Even if I could tell from Butler Qin's inner voice that the people who had forced Grandma were in prison, what about Xia Houyi? Should Xia Houyi, the culprit, be let off so easily?
"I'm going to take everything from him."
Xia Anan continued, she was very sure of one thing.
"I think Ms. Chen will understand me and support me."
Xia Houxi didn't know what to say, but he was clearly certain that the other party's grandmother, Yan Siyu, was really hurt by her grandfather, and her entire life might even be ruined.
So in the end, Xia Houxi just nodded silently, and the car was very quiet.
It didn't take long to get to the old house of the Xiahou family. Now this place belonged to Chen Shan. Xiahou Yi never liked to live here because every time he was in the old house, he felt like a dependent.
Who made him a fool? Even his grandparents and biological parents found out that he was a fool?
For the inheritance of the Xiahou family, Chen Shan must be higher than Xiahou Yi. Apart from the 20% of shares in his hands, Xiahou Yi has no ability to influence any of the Xiahou family's industries.
When I entered the living room, Assistant Fang was already waiting there.
"Young Master, Madam is already waiting for you in the tea room."
Xia Houxi nodded, and then took Xia Anan and Qin Lang to the tea room to see his grandmother. When they entered the tea room, they saw Chen Shan drinking tea.
"Grandma, the doctor said you can't drink tea at night. It can cause insomnia."
Chen Shan nodded, knowing that her grandson cared about her.
"I know, but I'm destined to be unable to sleep tonight. Why don't you drink some tea to wake yourself up? Who is this lady?"
After seeing Xia Anan, Chen Shan actually felt vaguely that she seemed to have seen this girl before, and always felt that her appearance was somewhat familiar.
"This is Miss Xia Anan, Grandma. She is the one who saw Grandpa fall down in the park and helped him up."
After all, it was Qin Lang who saved the man, and Xiahou Xi could not fail to understand this.
"So that's how it is, Miss Xia. Thank you for helping Mr. Xia Hou. I'm very grateful."
Without using the term "husband" or any intimate terms, Xia Anan was able to confirm what Ms. Chen meant by simply calling her Mr. Xiahou.
She spoke directly.
"Hello, Ms. Chen, I'm Xia Anan. You may not know me, but do you still remember the name Yan Siyu?"
Xia Anan was very straightforward and no longer pretended in front of Xia Houyi and Xia Houxi. Qin Lang looked at this scene curiously, but he didn't have any thoughts. It was mainly because it was dark and he was a little tired, so his mind was empty.
"Yan Siyu..."
When Ms. Chen heard the name, she paused and then looked at Xia Anan.
"Are you hers?"
Not quite sure about the other person's identity, Ms. Chen now really remembered why the person in front of her felt familiar. Wasn't it because he looked similar to Yan Siyu back then?
The memories of the past finally came back to Ms. Chen, and she remembered the old days.
"Yan Siyu is my grandmother."
After hearing this answer, Ms. Chen finally understood and nodded.
"So it's you. I didn't expect she would give you such a name."
Ms. Chen was very sure of the origin of the surname Xia, so she seemed a little dazed. She looked neither sad nor happy, and seemed not to care about what happened that year.
"My mother's name is Xia Meng. Originally, my last name wasn't Xia. After my parents divorced, I followed my grandmother and changed my name to Xia An'an. Ms. Chen, I'm taking the liberty to visit you this time because I want to ask about what happened between my grandmother and Xia Houyi. My grandmother has only thought about Xia Haotian her whole life, but she never expected him to be such a person."
Maybe it was wrong from the beginning. From grandma to mom, to now, it is difficult for Xia Anan to have any good feelings towards Xia Houyi.
Ms. Chen then revealed a slightly helpless expression.
"I was the one who handled your mother's affairs back then. I had no relationship with Xia Houyi at the time. I was just a general assistant at the Xia Hou Group. Xia Houyi disguised himself and seduced your grandmother under the alias Xia Haotian. However, he refused to believe that your grandmother loved him as a person, so he asked his group of friends to use money to impress your grandmother. Your grandmother remained unmoved, but in the end, she was forced into sex by these playboys. After that, Xia Houyi realized that the matter could no longer be concealed, so he told the Xia Hou family, and the higher-ups sent me to handle the matter."
"I sent all the dandies who bullied your grandmother to prison. I'm afraid they're all dead now. At that time, I didn't know I would marry Xia Houyi. But Xia Houyi said he loved your grandmother, but when he found out about her being bullied, he was upset and used me as an excuse to break up with her. After I found out, I asked my parents-in-law to compensate your grandmother, so I gave her 10 million."
Ten million decades ago was enough to buy a house in a place like City A and leave more than eight million. This was the only assistance Ms. Chen could provide to Yan Siyu.
"...But I didn't expect that she would be so stupid as to leave a child behind."
Ms. Chen looked at Xia Anan and added these blunt and heartbreaking words.
"I knew she was pregnant at the time, and I even went to the hospital with her. I told her she couldn't keep the child. Ten million yuan could be used for further education or for many other things, but not to raise a child whose father she didn't know."
This was the last reminder Ms. Chen gave to Yan Siyu before she left. Now it seems that Yan Siyu did not listen.
People's choices always create all kinds of suffering. You can't say that she is not a victim, but Yan Siyu is still too soft-hearted.
Xia Anan naturally understood what Ms. Chen meant, but she knew that if you don't walk on the path you choose, you will never know which path you choose is right, and perhaps no matter which path you choose, it will be wrong.
"That's why I came to see you. I just learned about my grandma today. She never told me this before. Just last year, she passed away. Before she died, she was still thinking about Xia Haotian."
"I thought he was a very good person, worthy of being remembered by my grandmother for the rest of her life, but now it seems that this is not the case, Ms. Chen. My grandmother's lifelong tragedy all came from meeting Xia Houyi, so I hate him and I want her to lose everything."
Why didn't Xiahou Yi receive any punishment after others were punished?
Ms. Chen was a little surprised when she heard Xia Anan's words, but she seemed to have thought of something and smiled.
"It seems that you are very different from your grandmother, little girl. I like you very much."
