Chapter 297 Family
Chu Chengyu, this wicked guy, just patted his butt and left.
Let’s not even mention how the Xia family in Beijing was in chaos.
Xia Ruhai and Li Dongmei took two jobs and raised Xia Zhizhi in a perfunctory manner.
Before Xia Zhizhi was three years old, the two were quite considerate and at least would not starve her on purpose.
Later on, the domestic situation changed, and the two estimated that the Chu family would not come back, so they just kept the child at their own leisure.
Later, Li Dongmei was taken advantage of by Lu Wei and sent to the police station.
When Xia Ruhai came to the door, he saw that no one was around. Lu Weiguang sneered and threatened him gloomily: "You can't stand it now? You will suffer more in the future."
Everyone knows that Xia Ruhai and Li Dongmei are not very smart.
Lu Weiguang was just uttering harsh words to vent his anger. He would lock up Li Dongmei for ten days or half a month at most, and she would have to be released sooner or later. There is no way he would really lock up his mother-in-law to death without any reason.
But Xia Ruhai was a completely ignorant person after all, and he was really scared.
He tossed and turned at home, and finally made a very smart decision.
He remembered that Xia Zhizhi's biological parents were well-off and powerful, and he didn't know what was going on in his head, but he planned to use Xia Zhizhi's kindness in raising him in exchange for the protection of the Xia family.
Xia Ruhai traveled around Beijing for several times and finally found the Xia family.
After the Xia family found out, they immediately asked the younger generation in the family who could leave to come to Mudanjiang to look for Xia Zhizhi.
Xia Zhizhi went out to fool around, and when Xia Zhuojun came back for the first time, he couldn't find her.
Although Xia Ruhai said that Xia Zhizhi was their child, he hadn't seen her in person and couldn't even produce a photo. The Xia family was wealthy and powerful, so they couldn't just believe rumors and bring a child home. Naturally, they had to confirm it first.
So when Xia Zhuojun first came back, he didn't reveal anything.
After hearing this, Xia Zhizhi had an expression that was speechless.
When Xia Zhizhi was at home, she used to beat Xia Ruhai and the others at mealtime every day. Now that she has become more powerful, she will beat them to death.
Besides, if Xia Ruhai really wants to get close to him, why don’t you treat his child well?
Now that the relationship has become so strained, for the sake of your life, you should have kept this secret well. Why are you rushing to tell others?
Seeing Xia Zhizhi's ambiguous expression, Xia Zhuojun said, "As for your adoptive parents, they have raised you after all, and they don't know what you think of them. For the time being, your uncle and aunt haven't made things difficult for your adoptive father."
The main reason was that Xia Zhizhi's identity was not 100% confirmed before, so naturally we were not in a hurry to deal with the subsequent issues.
Xia Zhuojun asked again: "I heard from Third Aunt that you have a red scar on the back of your left arm. I wonder if you would mind if I take a look. If you do mind, it's fine. When we get to Beijing, Third Aunt can take a look at it herself."
This time, when he saw Xia Zhizhi in person, Xia Zhuojun felt that this was almost certain to be true.
Xia Zhizhi has an older sister, and she looks 50% like her sister Xia Qingqing.
At this point, seeing that Xia Zhizhi still looked unmoved, Xia Zhuojun sighed, "My family has never given up looking for you all these years. Third Aunt has always blamed herself for not having high hopes for you. She has been feeling miserable all these years. She should be very happy to see you. Everyone in my family misses you very much."
Xia Zhizhi still had a heart of stone on her face, and she was not moved to the point of wanting to hug Xia Zhuojun and shout: "Brother, I've suffered so much, wuwuwuwuwu, how did you guys just find me?"
Xia Zhuojun can understand Xia Zhizhi rationally.
After all, she is already an adult, and it is really difficult for her to get close to a group of relatives who suddenly appear.
But emotionally, Xia Zhuojun is still closer to her third aunt. Pan Wenjun lived through the Anti-Japanese War and has experienced all kinds of hardships. She is an iron lady, but every time it is Xia Zhizhi's birthday, she can't help but wipe away her tears.
Xia Zhizhi: ...
After hearing about the birthmark, this heartless person wondered if he could remove his birthmark.
She does have a birthmark, which is the size of a thumb and red in color. It is located in the middle of the back of her arm. It can only be seen from the back, but it can be covered by short sleeves in the summer.
If a normal person had a birthmark in that location, they might not be able to find it. It was only because she had mental power that she was able to see it after scanning twice.
I wonder if Aju has the laser scar removal function?
She doesn't need her family to support her, so she is definitely not very keen on putting her ancestors first.
So she started to talk nonsense without changing her expression: "Birthmark, I don't think I have one?"
Xia Zhuojun had already confirmed Xia Zhizhi's identity in his heart, so he didn't worry too much about it: "I usually don't notice that place. Besides, it's possible that the birthmark from childhood will disappear as I grow up."
So you guys are determined to acknowledge this relationship, right?
Xia Zhizhi looked at him without saying a word.
Xia Zhuojun was very tolerant and said softly, "I know it's hard for you to accept this for a while, but you can believe that everyone in my family likes you very much. Our family is well-off and we will never let you suffer again in the future."
Xia Zhuojun finally had time to look around Xia Zhizhi's room, looking at the fine bedding on the kang, the various foods on the cabinet, and the various beautiful clothes hanging on the shelf...
Even though this was in the countryside, Xia Zhuojun could no longer say against his conscience that Xia Zhizhi had suffered.
But it's okay this way, he doesn't really want his children to suffer outside.
He then asked Xia Zhizhi: "Do you have anything to ask me?"
Xia Zhizhi shook her head in lack of interest.
Xia Zhuojun paused for a moment, then asked Xia Zhizhi: "Then how have you been through these years?"
Xia Zhizhi thought for a moment and said succinctly, "I used to study in Yang City. After graduating from high school last year, I came here to work in the countryside. At the end of last year, I went to Beijing for a while, and this year I went south again."
Xia Zhuojun asked sympathetically, "Working in the fields must be hard. You've suffered."
Xia Zhizhi felt her cheeks itchy at his pitying look, and couldn't help but scratching her face with her white and tender fingers.
She is a little thin, but her skin is as white as porcelain, and her fingers are as tender as green onions. People whose filters are not thick enough will not be able to say that they have suffered.
She has no plans to sell out for the time being, and speaks frankly: "It was hard at home before, but it's much easier after I went to the countryside."
Just then, Yang Yingxu knocked on the door outside.
"Come in."
After Yang Yingxu got off work, he heard someone talking in her room, so he considerately made a pot of tea and brought it in.
After Yang Yingxu entered the room, he made a cup of tea for each of them, washed a bunch of grapes, and then took a plate of homemade biscuits from the iron pot in the cupboard and placed it on the kang table.
Then he asked considerately, "Would you like to eat here tonight?"
Xia Zhizhi nodded like a master and ordered, "Make some more delicious dishes."
After entering the house and talking a lot, Xia Zhuojun, who hadn't even had a cup of tea in Xia Zhizhi's hand, held the cup and looked at Xia Zhizhi, who was calm and composed...
