Chapter 54：

Xia Shutong covered her head, curled up suddenly, and squatted on the ground.

The brain seemed to be pierced with thousands of poisonous needles, throbbing with pain.

Yun Feiwu didn't care about her mobile phone, and immediately hugged her from behind. She moved too fast and accidentally broke the wine glass on the table, spilling the red wine all over the floor.

"Ruan Ruan, Ruan Ruan..." Yun Feiwu whispered.

Her throat was inexplicably sore, and her voice was also a tight cry.

At the same time, the phone's audio was played again.

Yun Feiwu frowned, she put her arms around Xia Shutong with one hand, picked up the phone with the other, and turned it off.

All of a sudden quiet down.

Xia Shutong huddled in Yun Feiwu's arms, smelling the fragrance of her body, the throbbing pain in her head finally disappeared.

Just now, she remembered something again.

To be precise, it reminded me of the car accident.

This recording was recorded to Yun Feiwu when she was in a car accident, but before she could send it out, she passed out.

…

After resting for a while, Xia Shutong leaned against Yun Feiwu weakly: "Maomao, pick me up."

Yun Feiwu's arms trembled a little, but he still picked up Xia Shutong easily.

Carried directly to the other side, on the bed in the dormitory.

"Maomao, mobile phone."

Yun Feiwu turned on the phone and handed it to Xia Shutong.

Xia Shutong first sent a message to Qian Lingling, then found the number she had been contacting for the past few months, and typed:

[Collect the net. 】

There was a quick reply: 【√】

Xia Shutong rested her head on Yun Feiwu's lap and lay down for a while, then slowly straightened up and called Xia Yuansi.

Yun Feiwu hugged her, but unconsciously tightened his fingers.

Soon, the phone was connected, and Xia Yuansi's uncontrollable smug voice came from over there: "Xia Shutong, have you received the audio?"

Even though they couldn't see each other's expressions through the phone, Xia Shutong's lips still curled up into a cold, mocking smile.

"Hmm." She hummed lightly.

This neutral answer seemed to have completely irritated Xia Yuansi, and he also laughed and said, "As expected of Mr. Xia, you can keep calm at this time."

After a pause, he sneered: "I said Mr. Xia, the cat in the audio is Yun Feiwu, right?"

Xia Shutong held Yun Feiwu's hand, his expression was cold, but the end of his voice was slightly raised, cynically: "Congratulations, you guessed it right."

"Xia Shutong, I'm not guessing." Xia Yuansi's tone dropped, "Besides this audio, I have a lot of evidence of your improper relationship with Yun Feiwu... Otherwise, I'll send it to you, Do you appreciate it by yourself?"

"Tell me, if grandpa knows that you have been raising Yun Feiwu with the Xia family's resources all these years, what will he think? You say, if everyone knows that Yun Feiwu has been taken care of by you all these years, those What would people think of her?" Xia Yuansi's voice became more and more dark and agitated.

Ever since he discovered the relationship between Yun Feiwu and Xia Shutong, he has been sending people to follow them. During this period of time, he did have a lot of photos of Yun Feiwu and Xia Shutong when they were traveling.

Although in the photos, the maximum physical contact between the two is holding hands and hugging, but for Xia Yuansi, this is enough.

Under the guidance of malice, netizens are more willing to believe that the two are purely friends, or the relationship between the patron and the canary? Xia Yuansi was confident enough to smear the white into black. Not just the netizens, but also Mr. Xia. Regardless of whether Xia Shutong used the company's resources to raise her cats or not, Mr. Xia would never tolerate her behavior.

On the other end of the phone, Xia Yuansi even let out a series of panting sounds because of excitement.

Xia Shutong didn't answer, but her eyebrows and eyes were bent, full of mocking smiles.

Xia Yuansi didn't even know about the change in the company. Ah…

"So, Xia Shutong, if you are willing to listen to me, make a deal with me—" Xia Yuansi's voice stopped abruptly, and immediately, there was a loud busy tone from the phone.

Xia Shutong waited for two seconds, then hung up the phone.

She raised her hand and touched Yun Feiwu's cheek: "Maomao, I called my brother just now. My car accident... was planned by him."

Yun Feiwu's eyes were a little panicked, but he still held her hand and nodded.

"But it's okay, cat, I've already settled it." Xia Shutong exhaled lightly, and her body softened a little.

Remembering the details of the car accident almost gave her a splitting headache, and now she has little strength left.

Yun Feiwu still nodded in panic, holding Xia Shutong tightly, two lines of tears silently slid down his cheeks.

Xia Shutong wiped away the tears on Yun Feiwu's face weakly, and chuckled lightly: "Maomao, take me to take a bath now, and then we'll sleep and have a good night's rest, shall we?"

It's too late now, and it's not too late to go to the Xia family's old house tomorrow morning to solve Xia Yuansi's matter thoroughly.

Xia Shutong huddled weakly in Yun Feiwu's arms, but a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes. Anyway...to settle this matter later would make Xia Yuansi suffer more.

I don't know how Xia Yuansi would feel if he was locked in a small warehouse by the river for a whole night? It is estimated that with his pig brain, he still hasn't figured out what happened.

Yun Feiwu didn't answer Xia Shutong's words, but carried her into the bathroom as promised.

During the whole process, Xia Shutong kept her eyes closed and rested her head on Yun Feiwu's arms.

Yun Feiwu also didn't speak again, quietly, but took care of Xia Shutong familiarly.

Xia Shutong vaguely remembered that she and Yun Feiwu had experienced similar situations many times before.

But it seems to be after the bed 丨 incident.

She was tired, Yun Feiwu carried her to take a bath, and then they hugged each other and slept peacefully for the night. The next morning, Xia Shutong got up, crouched by the bed before leaving, touched Yun Feiwu's head, and then got up to leave.

It's probably the same tonight.

…

After packing up and going to bed, Xia Shutong quickly curled up in Yun Feiwu's arms and fell asleep.

Yun Feiwu kept his eyes open, his mind full of thoughts, and he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

After getting used to the darkness, she saw that Xia Shutong's forehead was slightly wrinkled.

Yun Feiwu carefully helped Xia Shutong smooth his forehead, then lowered his head and kissed, Xia Shutong habitually smiled.

Yun Feiwu couldn't laugh.

She heard the audio first today. Although Xia Shutong didn't say it, Yun Feiwu immediately guessed that it was the audio that Xia Shutong wanted to send to herself before the car accident.

But for some reason, she didn't receive it.

Then there was the phone call, Xia Shutong's younger brother... seems to be called Xia Yuansi.

Xia Shutong didn't deliberately hide from Yun Feiwu, so Yun Feiwu could hear the content of the phone clearly.

After the phone call, Xia Shutong's reaction was very calm, and even Yun Feiwu could feel a little complacent and relaxed. Yun Feiwu knew Xia Shutong well, so she knew that when Xia Shutong said that the matter had been resolved, she was not lying to her, but it was really resolved.

Associating these three things together, plus all the usual things, Yun Feiwu easily came to a conclusion:

Xia Shutong discovered very early on that Xia Yuansi was the murderer of the car accident, but he kept hiding it from Yun Feiwu, and he was collecting evidence... It's not a secret, Xia Shutong never mentioned it to Yun Feiwu, but he did not deliberately keep it from her. And Yun Feiwu has never asked Xia Shutong. If she asked, Xia Shutong would definitely say it, but if she didn't ask, Xia Shutong wouldn't say a word... It's like a strange relationship between them. tacit understanding.

Just like before.

Before Xia Shutong lost his memory, Yun Feiwu and Xia Shutong actually had very little communication. Even if they met, they were mostly in bed...

But since they formally established their relationship, Xia Shutong has never kept anything from her.

Therefore, Yun Feiwu knew who was around Xia Shutong, what Xia Shutong was doing, and why Xia Shutong did it.

For so many years, Xia Shutong did not provide her with any resources, but she always stood in front of her and cleared obstacles for her time and time again.

Even if she gave up everything in the past, even if she pretended to be a completely different person from the past, even if she put herself in a dangerous situation, Xia Shutong always protected her behind her.

Don't let her suffer any harm.

Everything Xia Shutong did was for her.

Yun Feiwu lowered his head and looked at Xia Shutong with deeper eyes.

In the gray eyes like the starry sky, tears flickered on and off, and then disappeared without a trace.

It is estimated that Xia Shutong will get up early tomorrow morning to solve this matter completely by himself.

For so many years, Yun Feiwu has long been used to Xia Shutong's protection. The only thing she can do is to understand Xia Shutong's thoughts, listen to her, and not cause her any trouble.

But now...she doesn't want to hide behind Xia Shutong anymore.

Ever since Xia Shutong's car accident and Yun Feiwu made up her mind to find Wutong, she had already made her decision. No matter what happens, she will stand by Xia Shutong's side.

Never hide behind her again.

"Silly Ruanruan..." Yun Feiwu recalled that voice, his voice was dim, and he murmured, "You said you were dead, you said you wanted me to live well...but you never thought that my life is clearly is it yours?"

Xia Shutong is her life.

…

Six o'clock in the morning.

After Xia Shutong woke up, she cautiously withdrew from Yun Feiwu's arms and lifted the quilt.

But Yun Feiwu opened his eyes at this moment, the eyes were cloudy for a moment, and then became clear again.

She got up, sat next to Xia Shutong, and started changing without saying a word.

"Cat, cat?" Seeing Yun Feiwu taking off her pajamas like this, she blushed and opened her eyes, and said weakly, "I'm going back to the old house today...you don't have to wake up so early."

In the vague memory, every time I got up early in the past, Yun Feiwu would lie lazily and dazedly in the bed.

So... Xia Shutong was inexplicably flustered.

"Go back to the old house? Are you going to deal with your brother's affairs?" Yun Feiwu asked, but he didn't stop changing his clothes.

Xia Shutong nodded: "I was a little tired last night, so I didn't tell you... Maomao, don't worry, I have almost solved it, and I will be back soon today. Xiaoqian has already driven downstairs and waited for me. Bodyguard, nothing will happen."

Xia Shutong's voice was soft and serious.

If it was before, Yun Feiwu would probably nod obediently and wait for her to come home obediently...or go to work and wait for the next contact with her, right? Xia Shutong vaguely felt that it should be like this.

But at this time, Yun Feiwu only paused for a moment, quickly got dressed, and easily took Xia Shutong into his arms, and took off her pajamas.

"Maomao!" Xia Shutong yelled in panic, "What are you doing, what are you doing?"

"Help Mr. Xia change clothes." Yun Feiwu put his lips close to her ear, and said lightly, but his hands were not slow at all.

Shame is shame, but Xia Shutong still gritted her teeth and let Yun Feiwu play tricks on her.

After changing his clothes, Yun Feiwu carried him into the bathroom again.

After washing up, Yun Feiwu carried him to the dining table again.

Aunt Wang is already preparing breakfast.

Yun Feiwu didn't sit next to Xia Shutong, but sat across from her.

Before Xia Shutong could speak, she said, "Ruan Ruan, later...I want to go with you."

Yun Feiwu's voice was forceful, and the movement of holding Xia Shutong all the way just now was also forceful, but Xia Shutong could hear a hint of... praying.

Looking at each other for a moment, Yun Feiwu's expression completely collapsed.

There was a layer of mist in the gray eyes.

The voice is getting weaker and weaker: "...is it okay?"

Xia Shutong nodded without thinking.

She simply couldn't refuse Yun Feiwu with this expression.

Xia Shutong couldn't remember how they got along with each other before, but she only vaguely felt that Yun Feiwu's behavior today was a bit abnormal. It seems that if it was before, Yun Feiwu would never make such a request. Even if I mentioned it, I guess... my former self would not agree. I don't even know what my previous self was thinking.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Xia Yuansi could no longer turn the tide, and Xia Shutong himself planned to take this opportunity to confess her relationship with Yun Feiwu to Mr. Xia. So it's just right to go home with Yun Feiwu today?

Yun Feiwu immediately raised his eyebrows.

Seeing this, Xia Shutong reached out and touched her head.

Aunt Wang just came over with breakfast, and a smile appeared on her brows and eyes.

After going downstairs, two cars were already waiting.

The front car was Xia Shutong's car, and the back was a van. As for who was sitting in it... Xia Shutong had a playful smile in his eyes, took Yun Feiwu's hand, and got into the front car. car.

"President Xia..." Qian Lingling was stunned when she saw Yun Feiwu, but quickly greeted her calmly, "Morning, Miss Yun."

After Xia Shutong returned to Haicheng from the crew of "Chasing the Light", she has been investigating the car accident in person. Qian Lingling doesn't know much about it, but has been doing things according to Xia Shutong's orders.

So she didn't know Xia Yuansi's recent actions, nor did she know that Xia Yuansi hired someone to secretly take pictures of Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu.

"morning."

After the greeting, the car became quiet.

Qian Lingling glanced in the rearview mirror inadvertently, and saw the two hugging each other behind, Xia Shutong's hair rubbed against Yun Feiwu's chin, and Yun Feiwu also wanted to bow his head to kiss her intimately hair strands.

Qian Lingling: "..."

Very sensibly raised the sound insulation panel.

Xia Shutong squinted his eyes in the car and rested for a while, seeing that it was still a while before he arrived at the outskirts of the city, he took advantage of this time to tell Yun Feiwu the ins and outs of the matter.

Yun Feiwu listened quietly, nodding from time to time.

…

After arriving at the manor on the outskirts of the city, Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu got out of the car, but Qian Lingling stayed in the car, and the van behind was also parked in the garden with the door tightly closed.

After instructing Qian Lingling a few words, Xia Shutong took Yun Feiwu's hand and walked into the house.

It was only past seven in the morning, Xia Hongye should still be sleeping, but Mr. Xia should have woken up.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the villa, he saw Xia Cha sitting at the dining table alone, squinting and drinking porridge.

After seeing Xia Shutong, his eyelids twitched: "Tongtong, how long has it been since you visited Grandpa? Why, you came so early in the morning today, and you brought a little girl with you?"

Yun Feiwu bowed slightly to Xia Cha politely: "Hello, Grandpa Xia."

Xia Cha's eyes seemed kind, but gave off an uncomfortable feeling, his eyes seemed to have been poisoned. Yun Feiwu didn't react at all, with a polite smile on his face all the time, and a faint look in his eyes, but Xia Shutong vigilantly clenched her hand, blocking her from behind.

Xia Cha only took one look, then smiled and looked away, staring straight at Xia Shutong.

"Tell me, Tongtong, what's the matter when you suddenly come to see grandpa this time?"

If it was before, Xia Shutong would definitely be nervous because of his probing eyes, but now, Xia Shutong just lowered his eyes slightly, thinking about what he was about to say, then immediately raised his head and looked at Xia Cha.

Xia Shutong led Yun Feiwu to the table, then narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "To tell you the truth, Grandpa, I'm here to disturb you this time. I have two main things to tell you."

"The first one." Xia Shutong took Yun Feiwu's hand, clasped his fingers together, and placed them on the table, "Didn't you still want to help me as a matchmaker a few days ago? You also arranged for me to meet Mr. Zhou Going to a variety show. You said at the time that you don’t worry about me being alone and hope someone can take care of me. Well, now I’ve found that person...but it’s not Mr. Zhou.”

Xia Cha immediately understood what Xia Shutong meant. He was stunned for a few seconds, and then he "tsk" with a displeased smile, but after meeting Xia Shutong's calm gaze, he let out a long and helpless sigh.

"Yes, my Tongtong has grown up and has his own opinions. Not bad." After Xia Cha sighed, he looked at Yun Feiwu again.

This time, Yun Feiwu still did not avoid his gaze, but smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa Xia, I will take good care of Shutong."

His eyes were calm, his voice was gentle, and there was no trace of fear.

Xia Cha shook his head and stopped talking.

Of course he knew who Yun Feiwu was. If it wasn't for Yun Feiwu's incident back then...the Xia family would never have found Xia Shutong at all. At that time, Xia Cha had a faint feeling that Xia Shutong's feelings for Yun Feiwu were not right, not about the relationship between a man and a woman. After all, Xia Shutong was only nineteen years old at that time, and Yun Feiwu was just a child, but they The relationship is too "deep".

What kind of deep feelings do you need to risk your life for the other party?

Xia Cha has never forgotten until now, that nineteen-year-old girl back then, her face was covered with blood, and her eyes were obviously timid, but there was a frightening ruthlessness hidden in her eyes. It was also the look in Xia Shutong's eyes that made Xia Cha decide to train her to be his successor.

But that's all for later.

Xia Cha was ruthless. He couldn't understand Xia Shutong's deep feelings for Yun Feiwu. At that time, he just thought it was a child who was ignorant. When he grew up, he would naturally forget it. So after Xia Cha took Xia Shutong away, she directly erased all traces of her past, and she was not allowed to contact Yun Feiwu again. Sure enough, after that, Xia Shutong didn't mention Yun Feiwu once.

Last October, although Yun Feiwu signed a contract with Wutong, Xia Cha still didn't think much about it. After all, Xia Shutong has grown up, and he watched her grow up, knowing that she is ruthless and cold-blooded, even worse than him. In his eyes, Xia Shutong signed Yun Feiwu to Wutong just for the benefit of the company, not for sentimental reasons, so he never cared about it.

It's just that Xia Cha didn't expect that these two people had been separated for seven years, and after going around for so long, they could still get together.

Xia Cha's brows slowly frowned into a Sichuan character, and he tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously.

Suddenly, he vaguely felt something blurry in his mind, but he couldn't grasp it.

Finally, he shook his head and glanced at the two people across the table again.

Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu completely ignored him, who was full of resentment, and hugged each other tirelessly. Although they didn't speak, the ambiguous feeling in their eyes couldn't be stopped at all.

Inexplicably, Xia Cha felt that most of the depression in his heart had disappeared.

Forget it, anyway, he can't control Xia Shutong anymore, it's not bad that she can find someone she likes to be with. Even thinking that Xia Shutong not only didn't hide his love from him, but also showed him his love partner at home, Xia Cha secretly felt a little relieved.

"Ahem." Xia Cha coughed twice, and the two people on the opposite side separated and sat upright and looked at him.

"Tongtong," Xia Cha smiled kindly again, "You can be with whomever you like, and you are no longer a child. Do you need to come and talk to grandpa? I'm not great An evil mother-in-law who beats mandarin ducks."

This meant that he was asking Xia Shutong what was the other thing.

Xia Shutong smiled and said bluntly, "The other thing is about Xia Yuansi."

"Tongtong, what kind of conflict did that child Yuansi have with you again?" Xia Cha sat back and narrowed his eyes, "You are not young anymore, even if there is any dispute, you can settle it in private, what's the use of asking grandpa?" use?"

Although Xia Cha has no real power, the old fox's aura has not faded.

The meaning in his words was very simple - if Xia Shutong couldn't even deal with Xia Yuansi well, then she deserved to be the person in charge of the Xia Clan, and she was too useless. Although the real power Xia Cha can't get it back, but a few words of verbal ridicule are still okay.

Xia Shutong smiled and shook her head: "Grandpa, you misunderstood. It's not that I want to come to you, but that father and the others will definitely come to disturb you. I came here first to protect you from their disturbance."

Xia Cha: "Oh?"

He glanced at Yun Feiwu.

Xia Shutong didn't mean to avoid Yun Feiwu, and continued: "Grandpa, do you remember my car accident last year? I found out that it was Xia Yuansi who did it. Besides the car accident, he also wanted to kidnap me this year. It's a pity that I caught the evidence before I even started. In order to prevent my precious son from going to jail, my father and Aunt Chai will definitely come to ask you for help."

Xia Cha closed his eyes, but frowned tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

But Xia Shutong still saw a trace of sullenness from his expression.

The corners of Xia Shutong's lips curled up unconsciously.

She knows Xia Cha.

Xia Cha doesn't care about blood relationship, let alone the gender of the offspring. Even after he was forced to retire, he and Xia Shutong have always maintained this kind of warm-hearted façade, but he is still cold-blooded and ruthless in his heart.

He cared about Xia Shutong, but not his granddaughter, what he cared about was the person in power whom he had cultivated by himself.

There is only one thing that can make Xia Cha angry, and that is something that affects the interests of the company.

But now that the company has been handed over to Xia Shutong, anyone who dares to attack Xia Shutong is attacking the person in charge of the Xia family he cultivated with all his heart, and is attacking his company.

How could he not be angry?

At this moment, Xia Cha's cell phone rang.

After connecting, Xia Cha turned on the speakerphone, and Xia Hongtao's crying voice came from the phone:

"Dad—! Xia Shutong, she, she doesn't know where she got Yuansi, you must help us, help us protect Yuansi...Dad... We only have one son, Yuansi, and you only have him. grandson…"

Having said this, Xia Hongtao's voice stopped suddenly, because he heard Xia Shutong's faint laughter on the other end of the phone.

"Father, you made me and grandpa have breakfast."

"You mean Yuansi? He's right here in the old house, or...you and auntie also come over?"
