Fengshui masters are Internet celebrities
Chapter 138
Xia Xianning said: "Because of this, he must have some purpose."
Although the female ghost didn't quite understand what they were talking about, she tried her best to recall the scene at that time, and said, "I think...he didn't seem to pass by and saw my watch by chance. He didn't look at other people's stalls when he came, looking around After a while, he found me and walked over directly."
Luo Yingbai reacted quickly: "Someone told him that you would sell watches there, right? Hey, do you know a man named Lou Miao?"
The female ghost shook her head blankly.
Xia Xianning and Luo Yingbai looked at each other, and said to the female ghost: "You go back to the office to register first, we will come to you tomorrow and take you to deliver the check."
The female ghost thanked her and turned to leave. After she walked a few steps, she was suddenly stopped by Luo Yingbai.
Luo Yingbai said: "Wait a minute, how did you come to the ghost market to sell things?"
The female ghost said: "It was a woman who told me. She is quite young and good-looking. There is blood on her head. She may have died after hitting her head."
Xia Xianning immediately asked, "What's your name?"
The female ghost said blankly: "I don't know. We met on the way to escape, and after a casual chat, she told me this."
That's what I said, but it's not easy to distinguish between intentional and unintentional. How could things be so coincidental?
All ghosts will maintain the same state of death after death. For example, the female ghost whose head was broken, or Luo Yingbai who was stabbed to death with many knives, then when he arrives in the underworld, his whole body will be covered in bruises. It's the blood hole walking around, being blown by the wind and feeling cold...
Luo Yingbai withdrew her strange thoughts, took out the photo sent by Qiao Guanglan and handed it over, and said, "Take a look, is it her?"
This time, the female ghost shook her head.
"She's not so pretty, her face is a little sunken, her hair is short, her eyebrows are slender..."
Although it was denied, this time Luo Yingbai did not behave unexpectedly, an idea was taking shape in his heart.
He took back the photo and asked the female ghost to go inside to make a face puzzle to restore the appearance she described, while he silently restored the whole development process in his heart.
First of all, it was Zhu Linya who suspected that Xia Zheng was having an affair and "bumped into a ghost" while following him.Later, at Xia Changwei's birthday party, she claimed that the ghost she met looked very similar to Xia Zheng's first girlfriend.
Then Luo Yingbai and Xia Xianning heard that Xia Zheng didn't go out to date his lover, but went to the ghost market to buy a watch with a purpose.
Similarly, the female ghost who sold the watch was also prompted by someone to sell the watch. However, the person who hinted at her was different from the ghost Zhu Linya bumped into, which is not right now.
Luo Yingbai told Xia Xianning her thoughts, Xia Xianning pondered for a second, and said simply: "It doesn't necessarily mean that you are a different ghost."
Luo Yingbai was stunned, and said: "You're right, some ghosts can change their appearance. If it's to get close to Xia Zheng and gain his trust...pretending to be his first love girlfriend is a good choice."
Xia Xianning nodded, and Luo Yingbai said again: "So the remaining question is what is the use of Xia Zheng's watch."
Xia Xianning said: "Let's go to the pawn shop that sold that watch first."
Luo Yingbai nodded, and the two went out of the special investigation department, and found the Fengyang pawn shop according to the address mentioned by the female ghost. Fortunately, this is a century-old chain store across the country. Even after many years, the store is still in its original location. The address is open.
Xia Xianning cut to the chase, went in and went straight to the manager, showed him his ID, and asked to see the transaction records from 25 years ago.
The female ghost can be sure that she bought the watch 25 years ago. At that time, Luo Yingbai was only a few months old, neither Xia Xianning nor Xia Zheng was born, and she happened to be in the fifth grade of elementary school.
If it is now, you only need to search for the name of the female ghost's mother to find the records, but at that time the network was not developed, and all transaction records were not uploaded to the computer, so they had to check the accounts manually.
Although the exact date is unknown, according to the female ghost, she should have been wearing a small windbreaker at the time, so you only need to call up the account books of autumn and spring 25 years ago and check them one by one, and there should be results.
The manager said embarrassingly: "We are also willing to fulfill the obligations of citizens and cooperate with the police investigation, but this happened 25 years ago. Many transaction records at that time have not been preserved. There is really no way to check."
Xia Xianning didn't say anything, but took out another card and put it on top of her ID. The manager looked down and gasped.
The face of the card is black, with a few gold characters simply printed on it, Xia Xianning's signature on the back, and there are no other fancy patterns, but as the manager of this pawn shop, he clearly understands that this is The senior membership card of Fengyang Jewelry Store next door.
Although Fengyang's pawn shop and jewelry shop were set up separately, the owner was one person. Xia Xianning's senior membership card was used by multiple stores, and it could only be obtained by spending more than [-] million at a time, and only a few people held it.
This was the last time Xia Xianning's grandmother celebrated her birthday. He bought a set of jewelry at the jewelry store and got the card, and kept throwing it in the office drawer. If it wasn't for this incident, he would have forgotten about it.
The manager never expected that this young man was actually a big customer of the store. After being surprised, his attitude immediately changed, and he said with a smile: "This... so you have also consumed in Fengyang before, you are really neglecting..."
Luo Yingbai laughed beside him and said, "Manager, you see that he spent so much in your store, everyone is acquaintances, so I will explain clearly. You are a pawn shop here, and registration errors are the most taboo. I understand. A century-old store, if there is no record of dealings with it 25 years ago, will anyone dare to treat it as something in the future?"
He tapped Xia Xianning's membership card with his fingers, and continued: "I said that there is no account book, but I just think that these two little policemen are not good at anything, and checking accounts is troublesome, and they are just fooling us."
What he said was a bit direct, but he said it with a smile and a gentle tone, which didn't make people feel too embarrassed. The manager is also a smart person, so he hurried down this step and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm busy with work. , Please forgive me, I will contact other colleagues to find the records."
He explained: "Because we are only a branch here, if we want to inquire about the past accounts, we need to apply to the main store for permission, so you two have to wait a few days before coming here."
Luo Yingbai simply tore up a piece of paper and wrote down his phone number, put it on the counter, and said with a smile: "Then I will trouble you, and just call this number after you find it. Don't delay your store's business, call back See."
Xia Xianning didn't make a sound the whole time, and when Luo Yingbai finished speaking, she put the two cards in her pocket and followed him away.
Luo Yingbai got into the car and said with a smile: "You work so hard. You originally agreed to take these two days off, but ended up going around and running to the special investigation office. You have been busy for such a long time. It's my fault. If you change someone else , I will share with you every minute."
Xia Xianning said: "If it's someone else, we'll break it up. If it's you, if you want to break it up, I'll resign."
Luo Yingbai: "Hey hey hey hey..."
Xia Xianning added: "Because your family is rich."
Luo Yingbai: "You have changed, you have changed, Xia Xianning, you big pig's hoof!"
Xia Xianning said calmly, "Well, I've changed."
Luo Yingbai rushed over to pinch his face, Xia Xianning still couldn't help laughing, and pressed Luo Yingbai on the co-pilot with his backhand, kissed him, and fastened his seat belt.
Luo Yingbai said, "Where are you going?"
Xia Xianning threw the phone to him and said, "Go back to my house, it's on the news again."
Luo Yingbai said: "Oh, then you wait a moment."
Without waiting for Xia Xianning to ask, he quickly got out of the car and ran back to the pawn shop, and returned to the car after a while: "Buy a gift for Grandpa Xia, and please him later. Alright, let's drive!"
The first love came to the door on the father's birthday, not only beat up the original partner, but even had a fight with the old lady. This matter would be talked about by the neighbors for most of the day in an ordinary family, let alone a rich family like the Xia family.
They were arguing and arguing all the way to the gate of Uncle Xia's villa, and they were photographed by reporters at that time.Later, Uncle Xia asked someone to call the major newspapers in time, but the serious media did not dare to report it, but there were all kinds of speculation and comments on the Internet.
Some people lamented that like a father like a son, such things as love are inherited from genes, and you must pay attention to the character of your parents when you get married in the future. Even Zhu Linya's identity was pulled out and ridiculed.
Some people scolded Zhao Meiqi for being shameless, saying that she is the most ruthless mistress in history, and she dared to come to her door to beat up the main room, but some people in the know wore vests and secretly revealed on the Internet, saying that Zhao Meiqi was originally the original partner, Cheng Guangchen relied on her Her mother-in-law was supportive, and Xia Zheng returned to Xia's house to get his mother's support, and cruelly abandoned his ex-girlfriend...
In addition to these discussions, Xia Xianning and Luo Yingbai who were mixed in became a clear stream, stealing the spotlight with their strength.
Many people didn't notice it when they started gossip. After being reminded, they were pleasantly surprised to find that Charlotte, the Internet celebrity CP, was also among them, and immediately diverted their attention excitedly.
"Look, look, isn't that little brother who persuaded the fight Luo Yingbai???"
"Damn it, it's really him! I said why when I saw the side profile, I felt a kind of mysterious beauty. It really is a handsome guy who shines everywhere."
"233333 He's so embarrassed, I'm going to tear up the fan card! Look at the 2'32" part of the video, Brother Bai's cowardly look of wanting to fight but not daring to touch the two murderous sisters! "
There was a burst of haha, Xia Xianning came out from behind Luo Yingbai, pulled him away, frightened the two women, and made many people have pink bubbles on their heads, praising him "You show your love when others fight, Mr. Xia's dog food is delicious", "It's okay to protect your wife strong", "Scheming Xia is swearing sovereignty in front of the camera again"!
Xia Xianning and Luo Yingbai were the last to arrive at Xia's house, and most of the family members were there. It wasn't until Luo Yingbai saw the room full of people surnamed Xia that he realized belatedly that he really didn't need to follow Xia Xianning back home. Home.
Mr. Xia must have just lost his temper. Third Uncle Xia, who bears the brunt of it, has already been scolded for being stubborn and doesn't take it seriously. Xia Zheng, who is sitting next to him, is pale and frightened.
Seeing Xia Xianning and Luo Yingbai entering the door, Mr. Xia's expression softened a little, and he said, "You guys are here."
He told Xia Changwei and others: "You guys stay here today, and think about what I said when you go back."
Mr. Xia's voice was not too cold, but the majesty in it made several people lower their heads. He scanned the family of four and said, "Perhaps you will think that they are already this big. I am so unconvinced that an old man like me interferes with my words and deeds. In fact, I am also too lazy to waste these words. But this kind of truth-when do you not need the shade of the Xia family, when will you stand up and tell me Bar."
In fact, he would be really angry if he spoke like this. Xia Zheng immediately swallowed all the excuses that came to his lips, and followed his parents upstairs dejectedly.
After they left, Mr. Xia took a sip of tea and put the cup back on the tea table heavily.
Luo Yingbai went to sit on the sofa next to him, helped him thump his shoulders, and said with a smile, "Grandpa is angry today and needs someone to coax... Well, look at this, do you like it?"
He took out a small thing from his pocket, stuffed it casually into the palm of Xia Lao's hand, continued to beat his back courteously, and said, "Grandpa, do me a favor and pretend to smile whether you like it or not."
Mr. Xia was so coaxed by this kid that he couldn't help it. He opened the things in his hand and found that the red velvet box contained a jade wrench. It was elegant in shape and it was the one he liked.
Mr. Xia didn't need to pretend and couldn't hold his face anymore, he said repeatedly: "Okay, this thing is good. Did you buy it together?"
Luo Yingbai smiled and said, "It's not about Xianning, I want to give it away myself."
Even though the Xia family has always been harmonious and there are not too many bad things about fighting for power and family property, but after all, there are too many people talking. If Xia Xianning is included in the matter of giving things, then it is very likely that it will be said that "the third son and the family were killed." My father criticized me severely, and the eldest room took the opportunity to be courteous." After all, it's not good. Luo Yingbai's words in this way not only coaxed Grandpa Xia, but also left no excuses.
Given the relationship between the two families, there is no need to be polite, Mr. Xia put away his things, and tapped Luo Yingbai's forehead.
Now he simply felt that this sweet-talking and coaxing kid was much cuter than those of his own, and praised: "You child, you have always been easy not to make a move, and you will never make a mistake when you make a move."
This is not only talking about him picking things, but also talking about what he said just now, Luo Yingbai just smiled, Xia Xianning went to sit next to him, put his arm on Luo Yingbai's shoulders, and asked, "Where's grandma?"
Mr. Xia said: "Your grandma... I just scolded your third uncle, and I didn't want her to hear that she went to make soup in the yard."
Xia Xianning was silent.
Luo Yingbai asked curiously: "Has grandma started to study cooking recently? Why do you still have to cook soup in the yard?"
Xia Xianning patted Luo Yingbai's shoulder, and said: "Senior brother... Otherwise, you should go to my room to rest for a while."
Luo Yingbai looked puzzled, Grandpa Xia glanced at Xia Xianning's arms around him, and suddenly felt a little inexplicable in his heart.
If Xia Xianning had never told him that he liked men, then he wouldn't have thought about it at all, but since the last time his grandfather and grandson had a conversation at T University, Xia Xianning showed off his sexuality to his grandfather, and Mr. Xia's thinking has also been a little poisoned .
——He always felt that Xia Xianning sitting with her arms around Luo Yingbai looked quite harmonious.
In fact, Mr. Xia is a very open-minded old man. His idea has always been that he should not seek fame and success for his descendants, but first, he must have the ability to support himself without relying on his family, and second, he must live happily.
Although under this kind of education model, Uncle Xia should be regarded as a model of failure, but other than him, the other children are very good, and they have indeed chosen their favorite way of life.
So after some thinking, he felt that it was not unacceptable for Xia Xianning to like men, as long as the child could find a suitable partner and live a comfortable life, it was not unacceptable.
But to be honest, compared to the messy "Internet celebrity" that Xia Xianning mentioned, Mr. Xia suddenly felt that it would be great if the person he said he was looking for was Luo Yingbai--it's a pity that he can't because He expected this, so he went to take care of other people's children.
Mr. Xia looked away, his wife had already come in from the back yard, holding a tray with two bowls of soup on it.
When Mr. Xia gave a lecture just now, he had already asked the servants in the hall to avoid him. Seeing the old lady come in with a tray, Xia Xianning hurried over to pick it up. Luo Yingbai also stood up from the sofa and said with a smile, "Grandma, long time no see."
Seeing that Xia Xianning took the soup, he strode over, bent over and hugged the old man with a bent back.
Grandma Xia narrowed her eyes when she smiled, with a kind face on her face. While saying "OK", she patted Luo Yingbai's back with her hand and said, "I lost weight."
She said: "Grandma didn't know you were here, so she cooked two bowls of soup. Wait a minute, grandma will give you a little bit of soup to replenish your body."
Luo Yingbai smiled happily: "So you can cook soup? That's great, just give me half of Xianning's."
Xia Xianning glared at Luo Yingbai, Luo Yingbai laughed softly, "Why, you still can't bear to... ah..."
He saw the soup that Grandma Xia poured out, it was so thick, thick and greasy.
"..." Luo Yingbai leaned over and asked, "Grandma, what kind of soup is this?"
Grandma Xia said kindly: "Ginseng, Sydney, wolfberry, red dates, black-bone chicken, and sea fish are boiled together to nourish the body."
Luo Yingbai: "..."
Will it die if you overfill it?
Although he was worried about his own safety, but for Xia Xianning, he could only risk his life to please the old lady. Luo Yingbai bit the bullet and went to serve the bowl of soup that Grandma Xia specially mixed for him, but Xia Xianning took advantage of the old man's turn to give it to him. The moment Grandpa Xia handed the soup, he quickly snatched the bowl from Luo Yingbai's hand, feeling bored.
At this time, Grandma Xia turned her back to them, and Mr. Xia happened to be facing Xia Xianning. He took the soup from his wife and saw his grandson's heroic behavior.
Elder Xia could hardly restrain his spontaneous envy for Luo Yingbai, wishing to give Xia Xianning his own bowl.
Xia Xianning put the empty bowl back into Luo Yingbai's hand, Grandma Xia also turned back, looked at the bowl in Luo Yingbai's hand, and said with a smile, "Why do you drink it in such a hurry, is it delicious?"
Luo Yingbai quickly showed a lovable smile, and said repeatedly: "It's delicious, it's delicious, and it's very tasty!"
Grandma Xia was very happy, and Luo Yingbai said again: "Grandma, but you can't make this soup all the time, it takes too much energy, what should you do if you are exhausted?"
He coaxed the old lady well. Mr. Xia was holding a bowl, watching the scene in front of him, and forgot to move for a moment. Xia Xianning drank his own bowl of soup without changing his face. Seeing Mr. Xia Looking at himself, there seemed to be anticipation in his eyes, and he reminded: "Grandpa, drink the soup."
Grandpa Xia: "..." No conscience, whose grandson is this!
Taking advantage of the old couple's inattention, Luo Yingbai quietly asked Xia Xianning: "When did grandma like making soup?"
Xia Xianning said, "Recently..."
Luo Yingbai: "You...you won't have any problems."
"It doesn't matter." Xia Xianning said indifferently, "Anyway, if there is a problem, you will die if you drink one bowl, and you will die if you drink two bowls. If I replace you, I will replace you."
Luo Yingbai: "Hey, why do I think your words are so offensive?"
Xia Xianning looked at it and smiled, Grandma Xia put away the bowl, and Old Man Xia called out: "Xianning."
He said: "I also have something to tell you, go to the study. Yingbai, you can play here for a while, and let grandma cook for you what you want to eat."
Mr. Xia called Xia Xianning specially because he had something to talk about. Luo Yingbai also disappeared, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll chat with grandma."
The grandfather and grandson went to the study room. Grandpa Xia handed Xia Xianning a stack of printing paper and newspapers beside the table, and asked, "Did you see it?"
Xia Xianning flipped through the pages, and all of them were online or small newspaper reports about the incident, among which there were some jokes about him and Luo Yingbai. His purpose of looking at these things.
Mr. Xia said: "I didn't tell your grandma about this, for fear that she would be upset. Your third uncle has always been like this. Fortunately, I have retired now, and your parents are far away from abroad, so no one will make a big fuss about it. article."
Xia Xianning put down his things and didn't say a word. In fact, he knew that there must be another reason for this incident, and that was because of the misunderstanding of Luo Yingbai's foster care incident before. After such an incident happened again, everyone's first reaction was to guess Could this be another cover-up with another inside story?
The face that was slapped last time was still aching, but this time it was inevitable that he would restrain himself a lot, and it was an unexpected additional effect.
Mr. Xia said: "What do you think?"
Xia Xianning thought for a while, then asked back: "Grandfather let me see these things, is the purpose of telling me the fearsome truth?"
Mr. Xia smiled and said: "You are right. Being born in our family, you are destined to be noticed by many people. Your third uncle is used to messing around, and those who scolded him are not wrong. But If you want to live your life with the person you like openly and aboveboard in the future, it will inevitably attract more discussions."
Xia Xianning said: "Just have a clear conscience."
Old Man Xia sighed silently: "Have you really made up your mind?"
Xia Xianning said: "It can't be changed."
Mr. Xia stared at him, and asked coldly, "Then are you still with the internet celebrity I mentioned last time?"
Xia Xianning was really stuck when he asked this question suddenly.
He has always disliked lying, and has been thinking about when he should have a showdown with his grandfather. It seems that this is not a good time. Mr. Xia's expression is unpredictable, as if he has seen the clues or just a test. Xia Xianning didn't decide how to answer for a while. I really hesitated.
His appearance was immediately spotted by Mr. Xia, and he said, "Why, are you not together? Is it because you don't like him anymore, or is there another reason?"
Although the female ghost didn't quite understand what they were talking about, she tried her best to recall the scene at that time, and said, "I think...he didn't seem to pass by and saw my watch by chance. He didn't look at other people's stalls when he came, looking around After a while, he found me and walked over directly."
Luo Yingbai reacted quickly: "Someone told him that you would sell watches there, right? Hey, do you know a man named Lou Miao?"
The female ghost shook her head blankly.
Xia Xianning and Luo Yingbai looked at each other, and said to the female ghost: "You go back to the office to register first, we will come to you tomorrow and take you to deliver the check."
The female ghost thanked her and turned to leave. After she walked a few steps, she was suddenly stopped by Luo Yingbai.
Luo Yingbai said: "Wait a minute, how did you come to the ghost market to sell things?"
The female ghost said: "It was a woman who told me. She is quite young and good-looking. There is blood on her head. She may have died after hitting her head."
Xia Xianning immediately asked, "What's your name?"
The female ghost said blankly: "I don't know. We met on the way to escape, and after a casual chat, she told me this."
That's what I said, but it's not easy to distinguish between intentional and unintentional. How could things be so coincidental?
All ghosts will maintain the same state of death after death. For example, the female ghost whose head was broken, or Luo Yingbai who was stabbed to death with many knives, then when he arrives in the underworld, his whole body will be covered in bruises. It's the blood hole walking around, being blown by the wind and feeling cold...
Luo Yingbai withdrew her strange thoughts, took out the photo sent by Qiao Guanglan and handed it over, and said, "Take a look, is it her?"
This time, the female ghost shook her head.
"She's not so pretty, her face is a little sunken, her hair is short, her eyebrows are slender..."

Xia Xianning said: "If it's someone else, we'll break it up. If it's you, if you want to break it up, I'll resign."
Luo Yingbai: "Hey hey hey hey..."
Xia Xianning added: "Because your family is rich."
Luo Yingbai: "You have changed, you have changed, Xia Xianning, you big pig's hoof!"
Xia Xianning said calmly, "Well, I've changed."
Luo Yingbai rushed over to pinch his face, Xia Xianning still couldn't help laughing, and pressed Luo Yingbai on the co-pilot with his backhand, kissed him, and fastened his seat belt.
Luo Yingbai said, "Where are you going?"
Xia Xianning threw the phone to him and said, "Go back to my house, it's on the news again."
Luo Yingbai said: "Oh, then you wait a moment."
Without waiting for Xia Xianning to ask, he quickly got out of the car and ran back to the pawn shop, and returned to the car after a while: "Buy a gift for Grandpa Xia, and please him later. Alright, let's drive!"
The first love came to the door on the father's birthday, not only beat up the original partner, but even had a fight with the old lady. This matter would be talked about by the neighbors for most of the day in an ordinary family, let alone a rich family like the Xia family.
They were arguing and arguing all the way to the gate of Uncle Xia's villa, and they were photographed by reporters at that time.Later, Uncle Xia asked someone to call the major newspapers in time, but the serious media did not dare to report it, but there were all kinds of speculation and comments on the Internet.

In addition to these discussions, Xia Xianning and Luo Yingbai who were mixed in became a clear stream, stealing the spotlight with their strength.
Many people didn't notice it when they started gossip. After being reminded, they were pleasantly surprised to find that Charlotte, the Internet celebrity CP, was also among them, and immediately diverted their attention excitedly.
"Look, look, isn't that little brother who persuaded the fight Luo Yingbai???"
"Damn it, it's really him! I said why when I saw the side profile, I felt a kind of mysterious beauty. It really is a handsome guy who shines everywhere."
"233333 He's so embarrassed, I'm going to tear up the fan card! Look at the 2'32" part of the video, Brother Bai's cowardly look of wanting to fight but not daring to touch the two murderous sisters! "
There was a burst of haha, Xia Xianning came out from behind Luo Yingbai, pulled him away, frightened the two women, and made many people have pink bubbles on their heads, praising him "You show your love when others fight, Mr. Xia's dog food is delicious", "It's okay to protect your wife strong", "Scheming Xia is swearing sovereignty in front of the camera again"!
Xia Xianning and Luo Yingbai were the last to arrive at Xia's house, and most of the family members were there. It wasn't until Luo Yingbai saw the room full of people surnamed Xia that he realized belatedly that he really didn't need to follow Xia Xianning back home. Home.
Mr. Xia must have just lost his temper. Third Uncle Xia, who bears the brunt of it, has already been scolded for being stubborn and doesn't take it seriously. Xia Zheng, who is sitting next to him, is pale and frightened.
Seeing Xia Xianning and Luo Yingbai entering the door, Mr. Xia's expression softened a little, and he said, "You guys are here."
He told Xia Changwei and others: "You guys stay here today, and think about what I said when you go back."
Mr. Xia's voice was not too cold, but the majesty in it made several people lower their heads. He scanned the family of four and said, "Perhaps you will think that they are already this big. I am so unconvinced that an old man like me interferes with my words and deeds. In fact, I am also too lazy to waste these words. But this kind of truth-when do you not need the shade of the Xia family, when will you stand up and tell me Bar."
In fact, he would be really angry if he spoke like this. Xia Zheng immediately swallowed all the excuses that came to his lips, and followed his parents upstairs dejectedly.
After they left, Mr. Xia took a sip of tea and put the cup back on the tea table heavily.
Luo Yingbai went to sit on the sofa next to him, helped him thump his shoulders, and said with a smile, "Grandpa is angry today and needs someone to coax... Well, look at this, do you like it?"
He took out a small thing from his pocket, stuffed it casually into the palm of Xia Lao's hand, continued to beat his back courteously, and said, "Grandpa, do me a favor and pretend to smile whether you like it or not."
Mr. Xia was so coaxed by this kid that he couldn't help it. He opened the things in his hand and found that the red velvet box contained a jade wrench. It was elegant in shape and it was the one he liked.
Mr. Xia didn't need to pretend and couldn't hold his face anymore, he said repeatedly: "Okay, this thing is good. Did you buy it together?"
Luo Yingbai smiled and said, "It's not about Xianning, I want to give it away myself."
Even though the Xia family has always been harmonious and there are not too many bad things about fighting for power and family property, but after all, there are too many people talking. If Xia Xianning is included in the matter of giving things, then it is very likely that it will be said that "the third son and the family were killed." My father criticized me severely, and the eldest room took the opportunity to be courteous." After all, it's not good. Luo Yingbai's words in this way not only coaxed Grandpa Xia, but also left no excuses.
Given the relationship between the two families, there is no need to be polite, Mr. Xia put away his things, and tapped Luo Yingbai's forehead.
Now he simply felt that this sweet-talking and coaxing kid was much cuter than those of his own, and praised: "You child, you have always been easy not to make a move, and you will never make a mistake when you make a move."
This is not only talking about him picking things, but also talking about what he said just now, Luo Yingbai just smiled, Xia Xianning went to sit next to him, put his arm on Luo Yingbai's shoulders, and asked, "Where's grandma?"
Mr. Xia said: "Your grandma... I just scolded your third uncle, and I didn't want her to hear that she went to make soup in the yard."
Xia Xianning was silent.
Luo Yingbai asked curiously: "Has grandma started to study cooking recently? Why do you still have to cook soup in the yard?"
Xia Xianning patted Luo Yingbai's shoulder, and said: "Senior brother... Otherwise, you should go to my room to rest for a while."
Luo Yingbai looked puzzled, Grandpa Xia glanced at Xia Xianning's arms around him, and suddenly felt a little inexplicable in his heart.
If Xia Xianning had never told him that he liked men, then he wouldn't have thought about it at all, but since the last time his grandfather and grandson had a conversation at T University, Xia Xianning showed off his sexuality to his grandfather, and Mr. Xia's thinking has also been a little poisoned .
——He always felt that Xia Xianning sitting with her arms around Luo Yingbai looked quite harmonious.
In fact, Mr. Xia is a very open-minded old man. His idea has always been that he should not seek fame and success for his descendants, but first, he must have the ability to support himself without relying on his family, and second, he must live happily.
Although under this kind of education model, Uncle Xia should be regarded as a model of failure, but other than him, the other children are very good, and they have indeed chosen their favorite way of life.
So after some thinking, he felt that it was not unacceptable for Xia Xianning to like men, as long as the child could find a suitable partner and live a comfortable life, it was not unacceptable.
But to be honest, compared to the messy "Internet celebrity" that Xia Xianning mentioned, Mr. Xia suddenly felt that it would be great if the person he said he was looking for was Luo Yingbai--it's a pity that he can't because He expected this, so he went to take care of other people's children.
Mr. Xia looked away, his wife had already come in from the back yard, holding a tray with two bowls of soup on it.
When Mr. Xia gave a lecture just now, he had already asked the servants in the hall to avoid him. Seeing the old lady come in with a tray, Xia Xianning hurried over to pick it up. Luo Yingbai also stood up from the sofa and said with a smile, "Grandma, long time no see."
Seeing that Xia Xianning took the soup, he strode over, bent over and hugged the old man with a bent back.
Grandma Xia narrowed her eyes when she smiled, with a kind face on her face. While saying "OK", she patted Luo Yingbai's back with her hand and said, "I lost weight."
She said: "Grandma didn't know you were here, so she cooked two bowls of soup. Wait a minute, grandma will give you a little bit of soup to replenish your body."
Luo Yingbai smiled happily: "So you can cook soup? That's great, just give me half of Xianning's."
Xia Xianning glared at Luo Yingbai, Luo Yingbai laughed softly, "Why, you still can't bear to... ah..."
He saw the soup that Grandma Xia poured out, it was so thick, thick and greasy.
"..." Luo Yingbai leaned over and asked, "Grandma, what kind of soup is this?"
Grandma Xia said kindly: "Ginseng, Sydney, wolfberry, red dates, black-bone chicken, and sea fish are boiled together to nourish the body."
Luo Yingbai: "..."
Will it die if you overfill it?
Although he was worried about his own safety, but for Xia Xianning, he could only risk his life to please the old lady. Luo Yingbai bit the bullet and went to serve the bowl of soup that Grandma Xia specially mixed for him, but Xia Xianning took advantage of the old man's turn to give it to him. The moment Grandpa Xia handed the soup, he quickly snatched the bowl from Luo Yingbai's hand, feeling bored.
At this time, Grandma Xia turned her back to them, and Mr. Xia happened to be facing Xia Xianning. He took the soup from his wife and saw his grandson's heroic behavior.
Elder Xia could hardly restrain his spontaneous envy for Luo Yingbai, wishing to give Xia Xianning his own bowl.
Xia Xianning put the empty bowl back into Luo Yingbai's hand, Grandma Xia also turned back, looked at the bowl in Luo Yingbai's hand, and said with a smile, "Why do you drink it in such a hurry, is it delicious?"
Luo Yingbai quickly showed a lovable smile, and said repeatedly: "It's delicious, it's delicious, and it's very tasty!"
Grandma Xia was very happy, and Luo Yingbai said again: "Grandma, but you can't make this soup all the time, it takes too much energy, what should you do if you are exhausted?"
He coaxed the old lady well. Mr. Xia was holding a bowl, watching the scene in front of him, and forgot to move for a moment. Xia Xianning drank his own bowl of soup without changing his face. Seeing Mr. Xia Looking at himself, there seemed to be anticipation in his eyes, and he reminded: "Grandpa, drink the soup."
Grandpa Xia: "..." No conscience, whose grandson is this!
Taking advantage of the old couple's inattention, Luo Yingbai quietly asked Xia Xianning: "When did grandma like making soup?"
Xia Xianning said, "Recently..."
Luo Yingbai: "You...you won't have any problems."
"It doesn't matter." Xia Xianning said indifferently, "Anyway, if there is a problem, you will die if you drink one bowl, and you will die if you drink two bowls. If I replace you, I will replace you."
Luo Yingbai: "Hey, why do I think your words are so offensive?"
Xia Xianning looked at it and smiled, Grandma Xia put away the bowl, and Old Man Xia called out: "Xianning."
He said: "I also have something to tell you, go to the study. Yingbai, you can play here for a while, and let grandma cook for you what you want to eat."
Mr. Xia called Xia Xianning specially because he had something to talk about. Luo Yingbai also disappeared, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll chat with grandma."
The grandfather and grandson went to the study room. Grandpa Xia handed Xia Xianning a stack of printing paper and newspapers beside the table, and asked, "Did you see it?"
Xia Xianning flipped through the pages, and all of them were online or small newspaper reports about the incident, among which there were some jokes about him and Luo Yingbai. His purpose of looking at these things.
Mr. Xia said: "I didn't tell your grandma about this, for fear that she would be upset. Your third uncle has always been like this. Fortunately, I have retired now, and your parents are far away from abroad, so no one will make a big fuss about it. article."
Xia Xianning put down his things and didn't say a word. In fact, he knew that there must be another reason for this incident, and that was because of the misunderstanding of Luo Yingbai's foster care incident before. After such an incident happened again, everyone's first reaction was to guess Could this be another cover-up with another inside story?
The face that was slapped last time was still aching, but this time it was inevitable that he would restrain himself a lot, and it was an unexpected additional effect.
Mr. Xia said: "What do you think?"
Xia Xianning thought for a while, then asked back: "Grandfather let me see these things, is the purpose of telling me the fearsome truth?"
Mr. Xia smiled and said: "You are right. Being born in our family, you are destined to be noticed by many people. Your third uncle is used to messing around, and those who scolded him are not wrong. But If you want to live your life with the person you like openly and aboveboard in the future, it will inevitably attract more discussions."
Xia Xianning said: "Just have a clear conscience."
Old Man Xia sighed silently: "Have you really made up your mind?"
Xia Xianning said: "It can't be changed."
Mr. Xia stared at him, and asked coldly, "Then are you still with the internet celebrity I mentioned last time?"
Xia Xianning was really stuck when he asked this question suddenly.
He has always disliked lying, and has been thinking about when he should have a showdown with his grandfather. It seems that this is not a good time. Mr. Xia's expression is unpredictable, as if he has seen the clues or just a test. Xia Xianning didn't decide how to answer for a while. I really hesitated.
His appearance was immediately spotted by Mr. Xia, and he said, "Why, are you not together? Is it because you don't like him anymore, or is there another reason?"
