After the Villain's Second Rollover[Transmigration Book]
Chapter 81 81
Xu Shen told him about Luo Yuan intermittently, but Jiang Ke listened without saying a word.
According to Xu Shen's thinking, he planned to go home to deal with this matter. Although he had a very good relationship with his parents for so many years, they were still his parents.
After all, the meal was not finished, and Jiang Ke had to go to a dinner party at night.
When he got home, the house was quiet, and the porch light at the door was not turned on. This villa was both unfamiliar and familiar to Xu Shen.
He pushed open the door and walked in. Mother Xu was sitting in the living room watching TV with a somewhat absent-minded expression. When she heard the door opening, she turned her head and looked: "...Xiao Shen?"
Mother Xu couldn't believe it, she stood up from the sofa: "You, you're back?"
After receiving a call from Xu Chen in the afternoon, she knew that Xu Shen couldn't hide the family's bankruptcy. She was anxious to wait for Xu's father to come back to discuss countermeasures, but she didn't expect Xu Shen to come instead of Xu's father.
At the entrance, Xu Shen bent down to change his shoes. On the third shelf from the bottom of the shoe cabinet, he put a pair of new slippers, which belonged to Xu Shen's shoe box. He would get a new pair of slippers every six months, and it was still the same in the past eight years.
His eyes fell on the pair of slippers, Xu Shen was quiet for a while, then stood up straight after changing the shoes.
Not seeing each other for eight years, Xu's mother is much haggard, fine lines crept up the corners of her eyes quietly, her skin is not as firm and smooth as before, Xu's mother is indeed old.
She took two steps forward awkwardly: "Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"
Xu Shen, who originally wanted to get straight to the point, looked at her anxious expression, and nodded instead: "Well, I just didn't eat."
Xu's mother happily went to prepare. She made a few simple dishes. Xu Shen looked around in the living room. The living room was still the same without much change. On the opposite wall, the LCD TV is broadcasting financial news.
Xu Shen, who has lived abroad all year round, does not have much memory of this family. The 11 years he has lived in this family seem to be separated by a layer of hazy fog. Superposition, people can never really stay away.
After the cooking was done, the mother and son sat at the dining table. Xu Shen took a bite of the food and was slightly taken aback: "Your cooking is much better than before."
In his impression, Mother Xu was not good at cooking, but the dishes he ate today were delicious.
Xu's mother smiled uncomfortably: "I have nothing to do recently, so I have time to think about cooking."
But there are not many opportunities for her to cook. Usually, there are aunts around, but on holidays, aunts are off, Xu Chen is reluctant to go home at school, Xu's father is busy with work, and she is occasionally busy on business trips. She was the only one, quite empty.
Xu Shen lowered his head and took a bite of his meal. After eating, he opened his mouth and said, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big incident at home?"
Knowing that Xu Shen must have come today for this matter, Xu's mother was still not mentally prepared. She lowered her head and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Your father and I don't want to burden you."
They also didn't expect that Luo Yuan, who is usually gentle and refined, would suddenly change his countenance, making the lion open his mouth wide.
But after all, he made a wrong calculation. Xu's father and Xu's mother did not intend to influence their son's life. They have been confused once, and there will be no second time.
Xu Shen closed his eyes: "Do I have to wait until the assets are liquidated and the whole family is kicked out before I know?"
"It won't be that far," Xu's mother sighed, "The Xu family still has some wealth, but it will be more difficult after bankruptcy."
Holding the chopsticks, Xu Shen was silent for a moment: "I have never regarded my family as a burden."
He hadn't been close to his parents for the past eight years. He really couldn't let go of his grandmother's death, but gradually, he also saw it. People cannot be resurrected after death, and life must always move forward.
They treated Jiang Ke that way back then because they were worried that he would go astray.
He can understand, but he can't forgive. In just eight years, Xu's father and Xu's mother were tortured, and he and Jiang Ke were also tortured. It's enough, it's time to learn to reconcile with himself.
Xu's mother still lowered her head, her voice was very soft: "In the past eight years, we all know that you have had a hard time, and we don't want to do anything to embarrass you anymore, Xiao Shen, you will never be a useful person with your parents. Jiao Huan's bargaining chip."
Xu Shen didn't speak, and continued to eat with his head down.
This sentence is enough.
When the meal was almost finished, Xu Shen lowered his eyelashes: "After returning to China today, I met Jiang Ke."
The word Jiang Ke impressed Xu's mother too deeply, and Xu's mother's eyelids twitched: "Xiao Ke... how is his life?"
"He's fine," Xu Shen wiped his mouth with a tissue, put his arm on the table, and held the tissue with his fingers, "I still have feelings for him."
After a while of silence at the dining table, Xu's mother stood up, began to clean up the dishes, and said calmly: "Xiao Shen, you are already an adult, whoever you are with is your freedom. As long as you are happy, I don't care about anything else." hope."
The breath hanging in his heart was relieved, Xu Shen helped tidy up: "I see."
Luo Yuan has been in an extremely gloomy mood for the past few days. The treasure he has been thinking about for many years, the lover he once thought was within reach, has been snatched away by others.
The Luo family lives next door to the Xu family. The two families are old friends and have always had a good relationship. Father Luo once joked that the fence between the two families might as well be demolished, so that it would be easier to move around.
But this time, the atmosphere of the two families has dropped to a freezing point. Father Luo has actually envied the Xu family's property for a long time. This time Luo Yuan broke the window with his own hands. At this age, he naturally wouldn't dislike a lot of money.
Watching Xu Shen come out from Xu's house and stand on the side of the road, a car came to pick him up after a while, and a figure came down to drive for Xu Shen. Through the dim street lights, Luo Yuan clearly saw that the person was Jiang Ke.
Luo Yuan's blood froze, he was extremely angry, why Jiang Ke again?Haven't they seen each other for eight years?Why did the two meet again so soon?
He already lost to Jiang Ke eight years ago, will he lose this time too?
Everything must be first come first served, he grew up with Xu Shen, but what is Jiang Ke?How long has he been around?
Luo Yuan almost gritted his teeth, he slammed the goblet to the ground!
He couldn't wait, since Xu Shen was blind and always made wrong choices between him and Jiang Ke, then he no longer pursued Xu Shen in a gradual manner.
They forced him to do this!
After all, fate was on Luo Yuan's side. The next day, Xu Shen took the initiative to call him: "Luo Yuan, let's come out and talk about the acquisition of Xu's."
Luo Yuan's tone was the same as usual: "What do you want to talk about?"
"Engagement is impossible," Xu Shen said, "We can discuss other things."
The Xu family went bankrupt due to poor management, failure to deliver goods on time, and high-priced compensation due to breach of contract. The Luo family, which cooperated with the Xu family, had the right of first repurchase. Halfway through the contract process, it was stuck at Luo Yuan.
In this matter, only Luo Yuan has the decision-making power.
"Xiao Shen, when I was young, you always followed me and called Brother Luo. I miss my childhood very much. Since I can't be a lover, I can be a friend." Luo Yuan's eyes flickered deep, but he sighed pretendingly, "I won't make things difficult. Friends, do you still remember the holiday villa I booked after your college entrance examination?"
Xu Shen was worried that Luo Yuan would take the opportunity to be tough, but he didn't expect Luo Yuan to take a step back. This reminded him of the big brother who was always gentle and dependable many years ago.
Thinking of the resort that failed to go, Xu Shen's tone eased a bit: "Where do you want to talk?"
"This is not a serious business for us, we are all friends," Luo Yuan said with a casual smile, "It's just a signing, it's not a big deal, the main thing is to get together with you, after all, we haven't seen each other for eight years , as a friend, you won't even reject me for this, will you?"
For this sake, it would be unreasonable for Xu Shen to refuse.
So he agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Shen glanced to his side. The handsome and beautiful man was nestled on the sofa, holding an orange cat in his arms. This cat was raised by Xu Shen abroad, and it was checked back from abroad not long ago.
Jiang Ke stretched out his hand to pet the cat, and his eyelids twitched when he heard the familiar words "As a friend, you won't even reject me for this" on Xu Shen's mobile phone. He always felt that this Luo Yuan had no good intentions.
"Are you planning to go to the appointment?" Jiang Ke looked at Xu Shen.
"This matter has to be resolved," Xu Shen leaned back, stretched out his hand and squeezed the space between his eyebrows, "After all, they are my parents, and I can't just let them go bankrupt."
Jiang Ke thought for a while: "Then shall I go with you?"
Opening his eyes, Xu Shen looked at him silently, with a mockery in his eyes: "Are you afraid that I will agree to marry him on impulse?"
Jiang Ke naturally stretched out his hand and hugged Xu Shen into his arms: "That would be too impulsive, it's not something you would do, I just don't trust him."
Leaning on Jiang Ke's shoulder, Xu Shen murmured, "That's fine."
The lounge door was knocked twice, and the agent came in: "Director Xu, Director Chen is looking for..."
Xu Shen sat up straight from Jiang Ke's arms like lightning, and drew a clear line with him. He even tidied up his clothes, and then said nonchalantly: "The director is looking for me? I'll be there right away."
Fearing that he would be silenced if he saw something he shouldn't have seen, the manager hastily closed the door, and he replied through the door: "Then hurry up!"
Xu Shen stood up, the orange cat meowed at him, and Jiang Ke squinted at him.
Xu Shen reached out and rubbed the cat's head: "I'll be back later."
After speaking, he walked out.
Jiang Ke in the lounge lifted the cat up and stared at it expressionlessly.
The orange cat looked at him innocently.
The phone vibrated, Jiang Ke put the cat down, and turned to look at the phone.
The message he asked people to check before has been answered.
[There is indeed something wrong with Xu's bankruptcy. I went to check and said that it was due to a breach of contract due to supply issues and required a large amount of compensation.Xu's was unable to afford it, and the supplier that cooperated with Xu's was the Luo family.I'm not sure if I need to dig deeper. I heard that the two are old friends and have a good relationship. Shouldn't they be stabbed in the back? 】
Jiang Keyan replied concisely: [check]
