Chapter 55：

It was almost eleven o'clock when Xia Hongtao and his wife arrived at the old house.

During this period, Xia Shutong had already shown Xia Cha the materials once.

The first is the evidence of the car accident.

Before Xia Hongye provided clues, Xia Shutong did not find anything, not even a trace of clues. But when Xia Hongye clearly targeted Xia Yuansi, everything surfaced.

Xia Shutong quickly found evidence that Xia Yuansi colluded with the truck driver. Arriving here would have ended the investigation and called the police to file a case, but the private detective appointed by Xia Shutong discovered that Xia Yuansi had other intentions after she was following her—obviously an attempted murder. That's why Xia Shutong waited patiently and continued to investigate.

Looking further down, during the New Year's period, Xia Shutong discovered that Xia Yuansi seemed to have discovered her relationship with Yun Feiwu, and even sent someone to follow her and Yun Feiwu. The day Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu went to the aquarium to play, they were photographed once by Xia Yuansi's people. There have been many times since then.

However, what Xia Yuansi didn't know was that not only did Xia Shutong know that he hired someone to follow him, he even hired someone to follow him. Every time Xia Shutong's followers took pictures and sent them to Xia Yuansi, Xia Shutong knew exactly what.

Xia Yuansi couldn't penetrate Xia Shutong's people thoroughly - after all, he didn't have enough money and brains. However, Xia Shutong placed enough manpower on his side.

Every move of Xia Yuansi was in Xia Shutong's eyes.

Xia Yuansi's purpose for doing this was quickly discovered by Xia Shutong: he wanted to threaten Xia Shutong through Yun Feiwu, and even wanted to commit another crime and kidnap Xia Shutong.

It was also for this reason that Xia Shutong did not call the police. She was waiting for Xia Yuansi to lose control and take the bait. Attempted murder plus attempted kidnapping is enough for him to be sentenced to ten or so years.

In addition, Xia Shutong also found out that Xia Yuansi had colluded with Qian Lingling's driver.

After Xia Shutong's car accident, Qian Lingling took care of her all the time. The damaged car was directly handed over to the driver to be taken to a 4S shop for repairs. After the driver found the spare phone in the car, he handed the phone to Xia Yuansi.

Due to amnesia, Xia Shutong didn't know there was such a mobile phone at the time, so she didn't think much about it. However, Xia Yuansi was stupid enough. After he got the phone, not only did he not suspect why Xia Shutong didn't notice something was wrong, but he also wanted to find something in the phone to threaten Xia Shutong as if he had found a treasure.

...There was a series of follow-up actions.

Although it took some time, the evidence of Xia Yuansi's attempted murder and kidnapping is now in Xia Shutong's hands, and this matter can be completely resolved later.

Xia Shutong chose to call the police in front of everyone in Xia's old house, and it was also to prevent Xia Hongtao and his wife from coming to Mr. Xia's place to make trouble afterwards, so as not to cause trouble.

…

"Xia Shutong...Where's Yuansi? Where is Yuansi?" Xia Hongtao and Chai Lan looked around as soon as they entered the door. They didn't see Xia Yuansi, so they stared at Xia Shutong with red eyes.

Xia Shutong leaned forward, with a smile in his eyes.

Xia Cha also knocked heavily on the table.

Only then did Xia Hongtao look at his father, and said tremblingly, "Dad, the only child I have is Yuansi...you..."

Seeing that Xia Cha's expression was wrong, Xia Hongtao immediately changed his words: "Dad, Yuansi, did he do something wrong? He is still young and ignorant, Xiaolan and I will admit his mistakes for him, please don't punish him..."

"Apologize for him?" Xia Cha snorted, "Are you going to jail for him?"

As soon as he heard Xia Cha's icy voice, Xia Hongtao's back felt cold, like falling into an ice cave.

He knew his son well, and when he heard the word "sent in prison" and looked at Xia Shutong's half-smile expression, he had already guessed something.

"Dad, Shutong..." Xia Hongtao's fingers trembled, and he pulled Chai Lan down to his knees, "Yuansi is still young, please let him go...I, I didn't educate Yuansi well, I'm sorry for you...I only have His son, Dad, you..."

"Bang" a loud noise.

Xia Cha directly picked up the cup on the table and threw it in front of Xia Hongtao.

He stood up abruptly, pointed at Xia Hongtao's nose with one finger, and said in a menacing manner: "If the son is gone, he can regenerate, but what about the company? If the company is destroyed by your son, you won't even be able to save it in ten years!"

"You want a company, your son wants a company, well, tell me, how many times have I given you a chance?!"

"At the very beginning, you were a piece of mud that couldn't support the wall! At that time, I thought you were my son, and I taught you tirelessly, but what about you? What have you done to the company? If I wasn't still watching, Tianjun would have No more. Later, Tongtong got into a car accident, and I gave you another chance, but you were kicked out within an hour, so I blame you? You don't have that ability yourself, so don't make money!"

Xia Cha does not favor sons over daughters, and does not care about the inheritance of incense, but it does not mean that he is an enlightened parent.

On the contrary, he is extremely strong, and so is his desire to control his offspring. Xia Hongtao grew up under his shadow since childhood.

When Xia Hongtao was young, Xia Cha did not allow him to have any hobbies except for studying. After growing up, she was even forced to enter the company, and was forced to marry the well-matched Miss Zhang family.

son? Xia Cha doesn't care, what he cares about is his "son" who can manage the company well and take care of Xia's family business.

However, Xia Hongtao did not have the talent for business, so along the way, under Xia Cha's influence, his character was abnormal and inferior. When Zhang Yirou was alive, he couldn't hold his head up in front of his wife, so he looked for a lover outside. Once Zhang Yirou passed away, he took his lover home. As for the company, he couldn't do what his father asked no matter what, but he was unwilling to give up, so he pinned all his expectations on his son.

At this time, Xia Hongtao's legs were trembling on the ground, but his eyes were still red, and he knelt and took a few steps forward: "Dad, at least let us meet Yuan Si and listen to what he said..."

Xia Cha squinted his eyes, but didn't shake his head.

So Xia Shutong lowered her eyes and sent a message.

Soon, a bodyguard walked in with Xia Yuansi under pressure.

Xia Yuansi was locked up in the warehouse last night. Up to now, he hadn't eaten anything and was drenched in several basins of water. He was already dying at this time, but when he saw the people in the house, he immediately became excited again and ran inside: "Well-"

Xia Shutong waved his hand, and the bodyguard removed the rag from Xia Yuansi's mouth, took a step back, and stood still at the door.

Chai Lan immediately rushed up and hugged Xia Yuansi: "Yuansi, are you alright?"

Xia Hongtao glanced at Xia Yuansi, stood up tremblingly, his eyes were so red that they were about to bleed. He didn't go up to care about his son, but pointed at Xia Shutong: "Xia Shutong! What have you done to your brother! You... you are breaking the law!"

"What law have I violated?" Xia Shutong shrugged, "It was your son who planned the car accident, but the murder failed, and it was your son who tried to kidnap me—oh, the kidnapping failed in the end. I locked myself in the warehouse I prepared. Didn't I ask someone to rescue him?"

"You, you are talking nonsense! What evidence do you have!" Xia Hongtao was furious, knowing that Xia Shutong absolutely had all the evidence, but he still yelled.

Sure enough, as soon as Xia Shutong asked this sentence, Xia Cha slammed the table again before he could speak.

Xia Cha's expression was frighteningly cold, if it wasn't for the distance between him and Xia Hongtao, he would have slapped him.

Xia Hongtao didn't dare to question Xia Shutong again, instead he took two steps back and put his arms around Xia Yuansi's shoulder in panic: "Yuansi, you said, you didn't do anything...you apologize to sister, apologize..."

Xia Yuansi staggered two steps, his head was dizzy.

He didn't know why it happened like this, obviously he had made all the preparations, he knew that Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu had been having an affair for many years, and that Xia Shutong had been using the Xia family's resources to raise Yun Feiwu, the audio was the evidence!

But why is Yun Feiwu here? Why didn't grandpa respond? It must be because of Xia Shutong! It must be because of her rhetoric that bewitched grandpa! As long as he exposes everything, grandpa will definitely stand by his side!

Xia Yuansi did not see Xia Shutong's pitiful eyes.

He was busy planning the kidnapping during this period, and the people around him were almost infiltrated by Xia Shutong, so he didn't even know about Tianjun's change of owner.

"Grandpa, grandpa, don't believe what that **** Xia Shutong said...!" Xia Yuansi stumbled out of his mother's arms, took a few steps forward, and pointed at Xia Shutong, "She lied to you! She lied to you a few years ago I'm using the company's resources to support Yun Feiwu, I, I have evidence...I sent the audio last night..."

"Mobile phone! Xia Shutong, you have the ability to take out your mobile phone..."

There was already a double image in front of Xia Yuansi's eyes, and his steps were staggering, but he slammed forward and rushed in Xia Shutong's direction, with an expression like an evil ghost.

Before rushing to Xia Shutong's side, Xia Yuansi felt a dull pain in his chest and fell backwards.

Yun Feiwu kicked him back.

She stood in front of Xia Shutong, her eyes were calm, and murderous intent flowed in her eyes.

Like a bloodthirsty lone wolf.

"What are you doing!" Xia Hongtao and his wife immediately embraced to protect their son.

The bodyguard at the door heard the commotion and ran in quickly.

Coincidentally, Xia Hongye was also yawning at this time, and came down from upstairs: "Uh... so noisy, what's wrong?"

No one answered.

She looked around and said to herself: "Oh, I understand. Didn't my younger brother plan the car accident and want to murder us Tongtong? Is this the evidence of being caught? Tsk tsk."

"You also know?" Xia Cha glanced at her.

Facing Xia Cha, Xia Hongye's voice weakened in an instant: "Yes...Grandpa...that, brother, he discussed with me before, hoping that I could join him in murdering Tongtong, but I didn't agree."

"You, you..." Xia Yuansi was trembling with anger, "Xia Hongye! What good will it do you if you shake it out?! Obviously Xia Shutong is dead, and we are the ones who benefit..."

This is his own admission.

Xia Hongye sighed, and turned to Xia Shutong: "Tongtong, when Xia Yuansi came to me, I recorded the audio and sold it to you for one million, what do you want?"

Although this audio is not bad as evidence, Xia Shutong still nodded happily.

Only then did Xia Hongye shake her head at Xia Yuansi and said, "Brother, look, this is the benefit. You are too greedy."

After finishing speaking, she walked to the restaurant on her own and started to eat brunch.

On the other side of the living room, Xia Yuansi gasped, his eyes were bloodshot, and pointed at Xia Shutong persistently: "Grandpa, believe me! Everything I say is true..."

But Xia Cha got up again, waved his hands, and said sharply: "That's it. I'm going up to rest, Tongtong, you can deal with it as you like."

There was still anger in Xia Cha's eyes, but Xia Shutong vaguely felt... his emotions were a little different now than before. But Xia Shutong only glanced at it, then immediately looked away, ignored Xia Yuansi's family's scolding, and took out his mobile phone to call the police.

…

By the time this matter was completely dealt with, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Xia Yuansi is currently being detained at the police station and will be imprisoned in a few days. And Xia Cha made it clear that he was on Xia Shutong's side, so Xia Hongtao and his wife couldn't make any trouble.

After the matter was settled, Qian Lingling also drove away. Xia Shutong had sensed that Xia Cha was in a bad mood before, so he decided to stay in the old house for a few more days, and by the way... get to know the place with Yun Feiwu.

After all, this is where she lived. Although Xia Shutong doesn't remember clearly, she still wants to share the past she experienced with Yun Feiwu.

After a quick lunch, Xia Shutong took Yun Feiwu's hand and led her to his room.

"Tired all day, do you want to rest?" Xia Shutong sat on the bed, and Yun Feiwu sat beside her quietly, nodding obediently.

It seems that since Xia Yuansi's family left, Yun Feiwu has been very quiet.

I didn't talk much when I was eating just now, but I looked up at the environment and layout of the room from time to time, as if I was thinking about something. And a little dazed, like a confused puppy.

"Maomao?" Xia Shutong poked her face, "What are you thinking?"

Yun Feiwu came back to his senses and looked at her with unconcealable concern in his gray eyes.

Xia Shutong touched her head, and said in a gentle voice: "It's nothing, Xia Yuansi has already been imprisoned, and there will be no more disturbances. And..."

Having said that, Xia Shutong blushed slightly.

In front of others, she will always be different from Yun Feiwu.

She wanted to say something, and besides, she felt that when she faced Xia Yuansi's family... she was quite handsome. But when the words came to his lips, he felt too ashamed to speak.

"I..." Yun Feiwu finally spoke, but his voice choked up after only one syllable.

In handling Xia Yuansi's matter, Xia Shutong had the upper hand from the beginning to the end.

But Yun Feiwu still felt distressed.

Especially when seeing Xia Yuansi's family crying, begging for mercy, and apologizing in the living room, Yun Feiwu didn't feel any pleasure in her heart, she just felt distressed, Xia Shutong.

Feeling sorry for Xia Shutong, who smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked at them with teasing eyes.

At this time, Xia Shutong didn't look like a flesh and blood person at all, but more like...a devil without emotion. What's more, the natural arrogance seems to be not from the show at all, but from Xia Shutong herself.

In front of Yun Feiwu, Xia Shutong is still the soft Xia Ruan. But in front of others, Xia Shutong seems to be a real devil. Emotionless, doesn't care about anyone, not even her own life.

So Yun Feiwu felt distressed.

How many times has Xia Shutong experienced similar things alone before he became like this? How great would it be if she could stay by Xia Shutong's side, even once?

Why didn't she stay with her earlier? Until now, Xia Shutong didn't care at all, so he started to stay by her side?

"Maomao, why are you crying?" Xia Shutong panicked when she saw the tears on Yun Feiwu's face, and hurriedly wiped her face, "Similar things will never happen again, I, I ensure…"

"No, Ruanruan, I..." Yun Feiwu suddenly stopped what he was about to say.

Because Xia Shutong took the initiative to kiss her lips as if to comfort her.

When the tip of her tongue touched, Yun Feiwu's whole body shivered like an electric shock, and then immediately relaxed.

Close your eyes, and cooperate with Xia Shutong's movements, let her explore as much as you want.

My heart also settled down.

Although she was not able to stay by Xia Shutong's side before, at least now, and every time in the future, she will never leave Xia Shutong again.

Between lips丨tongue丨intertwined丨, Xia Shutong carefully supported Yun Feiwu's shoulders, threw off the slippers, and moved her legs to the bed.

Sensing Xia Shutong's signal, Yun Feiwu also leaned back on the bed, supported Xia Shutong's lower back with one hand in cooperation, touched his neckline with the other hand, and began to unbutton it.

The brain starts to get confused.

After a kiss, Xia Shutong took the initiative to back away, her face flushed slightly: "It's still white...daytime."

Yun Feiwu grabbed her wrist in time, and with a slight movement, he pulled Xia Shutong into his arms.

"I'm not even shy, why are you ashamed? Sister, sister?"

…

I don't know how long it has been.

It was still bright, and although the curtains were drawn in the room, there was still plenty of light. So...Xia Shutong's face is still slightly red.

Yun Feiwu was obviously tired, and had already fallen asleep in her arms, sleeping soundly.

However, when he saw Yun Feiwu's face and the marks on the swan's neck, Xia Shutong felt that his face burned even more.

Yun Feiwu was really terrible.

Obviously when Yun Feiwu was down there last time, he still knew how to be shy, how come he is not shy at all this time, and can still say such stupid things?

Xia Shutong was completely led by her, walking down step by step.

Xia Shutong blushed for a while, and finally faded away, replaced by a shy smile with satisfaction.

Xia Shutong lay with Yun Feiwu in his arms for a while, unable to fall asleep, so he tiptoed up, changed his clothes, touched Yun Feiwu's head, and tiptoed out of the room.

Go straight to Xia Hongye's room.

Xia Hongye's work and rest were upside down, except that she got up in the morning and had a meal, and then went back to her room to sleep. Counting the time, it was almost time to wake up again.

After knocking on the door, I really heard rustling sounds inside.

"Here we come—" Xia Hongye lazily opened the door, and immediately raised her eyebrows when she saw Xia Shutong, "Hey, our Tongtong actually came to look for me on his own initiative? Is the sun coming out from the west?"

Before Xia Shutong could speak, Xia Hongye blinked and stretched out a hand, "You're here to give the money, right?"

Xia Shutong: "..."

She tried her best to control the urge to sneer, and squeezed out a kind smile: "I'll give you the money later. Xia Hongye... I'm here to thank you. Thank you for being willing to tell me about Xia Yuansi's plan for the car accident, thank you for being willing Provide evidence, and last time...Thank you for reminding me that Grandpa is going to give me a blind date."

Saying that, Xia Shutong took a step back and bowed seriously to Xia Hongye.

Xia Hongye frowned in surprise.

A few seconds later, she raised her eyebrows again: "Shall we chat?"

"En." Xia Shutong nodded.

She also wanted to know why this sister helped her again and again. After all, no matter how you look at it, their relationship is not good. And before, according to the information provided by Qian Lingling, Xia Hongye and Xia Yuansi had indeed teamed up to target Xia Shutong.

The two did not go back to the room, but walked to the balcony outside the corridor.

Outside the balcony is the side of the manor, a small desolate pond, where few people usually come here. The balcony is about twenty meters long, and there is a small corner at the end, and it is a closed corner around it.

Xia Shutong subconsciously glanced in the direction of the corner, doubts flashed in his eyes, and he quickly looked away.

Xia Hongye put her hands on the railing and was looking down at the manor, not noticing Xia Shutong's absence.

Xia Shutong stood beside her.

Xia Hongye suddenly laughed at herself, and said slowly: "Xia Shutong, you know, I was adopted by my parents. But when I was young, there were no other children at home, and my mother was always good to me, so I just Never gave it much thought."

"Until you were twenty years old, you were brought home." Xia Hongye took out a cigarette from her bag and lit it up. "I was in college at the time. In July, I had no classes during the summer vacation, so I stayed at home. Then I saw Grandpa Leading you home. Mom, she hugged you and cried, crying heartbreakingly... She had never shown such deep emotions to me, and I fully understood at that time that I was unloved The fake daughter is of the same nature as the vicious female supporting role in the novel."

Xia Shutong didn't speak, but nodded silently.

Xia Hongye continued: "After you came home, my mother really didn't care about me and took you by my side all day long. And at that time, you kept a cold face all day long, ignored people, and didn't say hello when you saw your sister. You Say, can I not hate you at that time?"

As she said that, Xia Hongye reached out to poke Xia Shutong's head, but her finger was caught.

Xia Shutong stared at her with a bland smile, but a different emotion flickered in his eyes.

Xia Hongye gave a "cut", shook her hand, and continued: "Also, even though I am a fake daughter, I lived in poverty when I was young. I know that if I am kicked out, then I will have to live in poverty in the future." How miserable? So I must keep my position in Wutong, and prevent you from taking the company away. Later, my mother left, and my father took Xia Yuansi home. That little **** Xia Yuansi was only thirteen or fourteen years old at the time. It’s all about family property and companies. As soon as he teased me, I listened and insisted on protecting the phoenix tree in my hands.”

"It turned out that I didn't have that talent. Indus almost went bankrupt in my hands, but you took it back in the end." Xia Hongye breathed out a smoke ring, "I was so angry at the time, but after a long time, it slowed down. Slowly put it down. I just like money, I just don't want to be kicked out of my house and live on the streets, and I'm not a **** like Xia Yuansi. What's more, the company should belong to you in the first place, and I'm the one who stole your things. "

"However, even if I have nothing to do, I still want to tease you and purposely annoy you." Xia Hongye suddenly put down her cigarette, looked at Xia Shutong with a half-smile, and pointed her finger at the corner of the balcony seemingly casually, "Xia Shutong , you don’t know, the year you first came home...or the second year? I don’t quite remember. Anyway, I heard you crying while hiding there.”

Xia Hongye smiled contemptuously, but her eyes softened.

At that time, she was just over 20 years old, and she still couldn't understand why the real daughter Xia Shutong, who was loved by thousands of people, would secretly hide in a corner where no one was around, crying so weakly and sadly. Xia Hongye felt that Xia Shutong was hypocritical, but she admitted that she was indeed infected by that hopeless cry, and even felt her heart throbbing slightly.

After a long time, when I saw Xia Shutong again, no matter what the situation was, no matter what kind of expression Xia Shutong had. The series of desperate and fragile cries would float in Xia Hongye's mind, and he could even imagine how embarrassed Xia Shutong was curled up in the corner at that time.

So Xia Hongye has never been afraid of Xia Shutong. Even as she grew older, she gradually developed an inexplicable sense of pity for Xia Shutong.

After saying these words, Xia Hongye put out the cigarette **** in her hand, and walked back to the room without looking back.

Xia Shutong stayed alone on the balcony, stunned for a while, and then walked slowly towards that inconspicuous corner.
