Chapter 135 Love or Not, Very Obvious
It was all his fault. It was because of him that Zhou Xiao could not return to his ancestral home early, and caused his wife to worry about their son for so many years and became ill from depression.
When Xi Xingwen thought about this, the more regret he felt, the colder the look in his eyes became when he looked at Li Haonan.
But Li Haonan hadn't realized it yet, and thought that Xi Xingwen was still the good uncle who felt sorry for his parents who were in prison and he had no one to take care of him, so he let him live in the Xi family villa.
She cried out in pain and complained that Xi Xingwen hit her too hard, while she pulled A-Lian, who was trembling with fear and feeling something was wrong, into her arms.
"Uncle, I'm dating someone, and it's normal to bring someone home. You have to keep up with the times. The thinking in Hong Kong is not like the old-fashioned thinking in the inland areas."
"Aunt Zhang gave me some ginseng to make soup with. I need to replenish my body."
Xi Xingwen sneered and waved his hand to let the nanny go down.
"Li Haonan, this is the Xi family, not your place to be the boss. I think I didn't hit you too lightly yesterday. Since you don't know how to repent, I'll hit you again to teach you a lesson."
"Go get the cane, and beat me with it!"
The secretary brought the cane in response. Xi Xingwen asked the bodyguard to hold Xi Xingwen down while the secretary took action.
The secretary used to work in Hong Kong, and was one of the most successful people there. The muscles in his hands and his fighting skills are unmatched by ordinary people.
At first, Li Haonan didn't believe that Xi Xingwen would hit him again, but when he was pressed to the floor and beaten with a rattan stick until his skin was torn, Li Haonan could only utter cries of pain.
"Uncle, you are my real uncle, how could you hit me like this! You didn't save my parents before, are you going to beat me up for such a small matter this time?!"
Xi Xingwen waved his hand to ask the secretary to stop, then bent down and spoke to Li Haonan.
"It's a small matter? Letting a dog bite your aunt is a small matter, but your family pretends to obey but secretly disobeys us and doesn't want us to find our biological child, isn't that also a small matter?"
Seeing Li Haonan’s eyes widened, Xi Xingwen turned around.
"Keep beating him. Wait for the police to come and hand him over to them. Ask them to investigate this scum thoroughly and don't bother with an old man like me."
On the way back, Xi Xingwen figured out what the Li family had done behind his back, and the secretary saw that Xi Xingwen had lost trust in the Li family.
Some of the things that Li Haonan has done in recent years were revealed, such as misappropriating public funds from Huanyang Shipping, forcing women to date him, and how he colluded with people in society.
As Xi Xingwen's confidant, the secretary had been embarrassed by Li Haonan's family several times in the past. The secretary was a vengeful person and had to avenge himself at the right time.
Facts have proved that his bet was right. Between his nephew and his own son whom he felt guilty about, the latter is more important.
After Xi Xingwen gave the instructions, he went upstairs without looking back to tell his wife the good news, pretending not to hear Li Haonan's cries of pain and pleas for mercy.
The old man believed that he had done his best for Li Haonan's family. Over the years, it was because of him that the Li family was able to gain a foothold in Hong Kong City and live a life without worries about food and clothing.
But how did they repay him? He was disrespectful to his wife and deliberately stopped them from looking for Zhou Xiao.
The worst thing he did was that he did not recognize the Li family early on, allowing them to show off their power for so long by relying on the name of the Xi family.
When Zhou Ying heard Xi Xingwen say that his son had been found, she thought Xi Xingwen was just trying to make her happy.
After listening to Xi Xingwen's story about today's events, Zhou Ying's eyes were filled with tears. She prayed for the blessings of her ancestors and excitedly said that she wanted to go see Zhou Xiao.
"Fortunately, fortunately the child was taken back and raised by my eldest brother." Zhou Ying repeated this sentence.
Xi Xingwen: "Don't worry, my elder brother has taken good care of Zhou Xiao. The child looks well behaved and has a beautiful fiancée. You will definitely like the two children when you see them."
Zhou Ying was happy when she heard this, but also sad about these things for her child. As parents, they had never been involved in any of them.
"Did you ask where they lived?"
Xi Xingwen's expression paused. He was too happy, but he was also worried that asking too much would upset the child, so he didn't really ask.
"Don't worry, the kid asked for our address and will come to see us."
Zhou Ying knew from his expression that he didn't ask, and raised her eyebrows. Just as she was about to say that he was unreliable, the secretary happily went upstairs to call them.
"Mr. Xi, Madam, Mr. Zhou is here at the villa."
Zhou Ying and Xi Xingwen paused, and then were filled with intense excitement.
The two of them quickly sorted out their clothes. Zhou Ying wanted to change into new clothes, but she was afraid that the child would have to wait too long, so she hurriedly followed Xi Xingwen downstairs.
"By the way, has Li Haonan been taken away by the police? If not, drag him to the utility room and don't let him get in the way on such a happy day." Xi Xingwen hurriedly asked the secretary.
In these words, it is really obvious whether it is love or not.
The secretary's mouth twitched, and then he answered.
"It's been taken away. The blood on the floor has been cleaned up. It's definitely not an eyesore."
Only then did Xi Xingwen happily push his wife to go see his son.
In the living room, when Zhou Xiao came, he happened to see Li Haonan being taken away by the police.
Thinking of what this person wanted to do before, Zhou Xiao frowned.
When Xi Xingwen and Zhou Ying came down, they saw that he looked so cold and distant, so they asked him about it with concern. When they learned that Li Haonan had actually set his sights on his future daughter-in-law before, their faces turned dark as water could drip from them.
He cursed Li Haonan several times with gnashing teeth, and asked his secretary to report what Li Haonan had done to the police and assist them in handling the case.
The guilt he felt towards Zhou Xiao was visible to the naked eye.
Xi Xingwen had no reservations about his son, whom he had finally found. He apologized sincerely and said that he would never indulge Li Haonan's family in the future.
Afterwards, he would publicly publish an announcement in the newspaper to distance himself from the Li family, and guarantee that their property and Huanyang Shipping would be given to Zhou Xiao.
Zhou Ying glared at Xi Xingwen. Why did he always say those unlucky things on such a good day?
She stopped the old man and started to care about Zhou Xiao's life over the years.
Zhou Xiao briefly talked about what had happened over the years, the poverty of life in Xiaohe Village and the paralysis of his legs. He cleared it up with a few words.
When talking about his fiancée, his brows softened and he spoke in more detail.
Zhou Ying listened, and there was a tenderness in her eyes, similar to Zhou Xiao's.
She wiped the redness from her eyes with a handkerchief, knowing that the children did not mention those difficult times. They knew how life was in the inland, so after they had established a foothold in the port city, they sent people to the inland to look for the Zhou family, to find Zhou Xiao.
But during those years, natural disasters occurred and the Zhou family fled to Xiaohe Village where they live now.
They wanted to find someone, but their hometown had not been specially sorted out by the country like in recent years, so it was difficult to find someone. In addition, the Li family was worried that they would find their biological son, so they ignored them and obstructed them in various ways.
It was not until so many years later that they finally met Zhou Xiao.
Zhou Xiao's emotions were much calmer than others. He was happy to see his biological parents, but he didn't show much emotion.
When he heard Zhou Ying say that they had been looking for him all these years and did not abandon him, he just nodded and was more concerned about what was wrong with Zhou Ying's leg.
