Solstice Secrets

As soon as the door was closed, the noise from downstairs was shut out.

Xia Mo looked at the ticket in his hand and let out a long sigh of relief.

The ticket was sent by Mr. Zhuang, the name on it was Xia Mo, and the destination was Bristol, a city in the south of England.A letter of appointment is also sent along with the ticket.Zhuang has a medium-sized trading company there, and the position on the appointment letter is to be the assistant to the head of the company's marketing department.Xia Mo knew very well in his heart that if he accepted this acknowledgment of fate, it would mean that he was accepted again by the Zhuang family, but the condition of acceptance was that he had to start from the most basic level of work and prove his strength step by step.

If he had received this letter of appointment a few years earlier, Xia Mo would have torn it up without hesitation.But now, he put away the things in his hands very carefully.There is still less than half a month before the time marked on the ticket, he needs to think about it.

The Zhuang family sent people to the Xia family to pry people openly, which made everyone in the Xia family angry.But Mr. Zhuang dared to knock on his crutches and say that the Xia family was not allowed to step into Binhai again, but the Xia family didn't have the guts to fight back with the same words.Mr. Xia has already retired. Although Xia Xueying still has two cousins ​​who work in the military in Xia Xueying's generation, neither their qualifications nor Mr. Xia's influence can be compared with Mr. Zhuang's.

That's why they tried every means to get Mo Xia to go to Binhai to take the lead.

Xia Mo naturally knew that they were using their identities to make a fuss.But with Xia Xueying at Xia's house for a day, he couldn't say no.Because in Xia Xueying's mind, only the Xia family is really planning for her, and it is the only backer she can trust. Whatever is done for the benefit of the Xia family is worthwhile.

Xia Mo sometimes felt that her thoughts were too paranoid.He hoped that one day he could be her backer.In order to achieve this goal, he felt that it was necessary to use the power of the Xia family.It was for this reason that he readily agreed to Mr. Xia's proposal to go to Binhai.

Unfortunately……

The door behind Xia Mo was knocked lightly twice.With such a soft and soft knocking method, there is no one else in the Xia family except his mother.

Xia Mo opened the door and smiled at Xia Xueying outside the door, "Mom, why didn't you go to rest?"

Xia Xueying's face looked a little pale, and her brows were slightly frowned. She glanced at the air ticket in Xia Mo's hand, and closed the door behind her backhand, "What's going on? Your uncle and the others said that you colluded with the banker or something. It doesn't sound good."

Xia Mo pulled her to sit down on the sofa, looked at her face and asked, "Are they still arguing?"

Xia Xueying's eye circles were slightly red, "Your grandfather lost his temper. Your two aunts also followed you with each other. Your two younger brothers..."

Xia Mo sneered, "What kind of brothers are they?!"

"Don't say that," Xia Xueying scolded him, "We are always a family..."

At the end of Xia, I heard this kind of words a lot, but now I hear it very harshly, and I can't help but retort: ​​"Who is a family with them? When I was in the front line, I was sent to rush up, and if it was beneficial, I would change them to go to the top." Go forward. Is there such a family? Mom, you don't really think they consider me a brother, do you?"

Xia Xueying was silent for a moment, then looked at him with indifferent eyes, "Are you blaming your grandpa?"

"It's out of the question to complain." Xia Mo flicked the ticket in his hand, "If it were me, I would put my grandson and grandson together, and I would send my grandson to do those thankless jobs. It's human nature."

Xia Xueying persuaded: "You grew up beside him, emotionally the same as those two grandsons."

"How could it be the same?" Xia Mo laughed, "Even if I have your surname now, they can't possibly regard me as a member of the Xia family. You don't think that grandpa will hand over the Xia family to me one day, do you?"

Xia Xueying fell silent.There are two older brothers above her, real brothers.Aristocratic families all value the inheritance of blood, no matter which dynasty they are in, there is no reason to pass the family property to the daughter beyond the son.

Xia Mo sighed softly, "I was lied to by you when I was a child, but when I grew up, I gradually realized that the situation of the Xia family was not what you said. Mom, I don't understand, why the two of us have to stay together?" Living in the Xia family's old house? You don't have to be supported by the Xia family."

Xia Xueying looked at her son with aggrieved expression, "I don't live in the old house, I am a weak woman with a child, where can I go?"

Xia Mo sighed inwardly.Many things can be seen more clearly by comparison, just like Zhuang Chengyan's two wives, Xia Mo has not looked at Cheng Anne seriously, but he also heard Zhuang Zhou talk about Cheng Anni, her family conditions are very poor Normally, when studying abroad, they have been working part-time and studying. Could it be that such conditions are not as good as Xia Xueying, a rich daughter who has her own fund since she was born?Besides, the dealer didn't treat her badly in terms of money during the divorce. Xia Mo himself did the calculations and felt that even if he didn't make money, the two of them would be enough for him to grey.

Xia Mo didn't want to find fault with his mother, but he really felt that the word "weak woman" was incompatible with her identity and background.

"Mom, look," he decided to give his frail old lady some ideological education, "the two of us are actually not short of money, it is enough to buy a house outside. I can still work. I can assure you, leaving summer After we got home, we both had no problems at all in our lives."

Xia Xueying seemed intimidated by his proposal, "You want to leave Xia's house?" She looked at the ticket in his hand, "Is your grandpa threatening you?"

"It's nothing to do with grandpa." Xia Mo put the ticket aside, but because of her question, a new idea came to her mind, "Mom, why don't you go to England with me."

Xia Xueying opened her mouth, "To...England?"

At the end of Xia, there was a feeling of enlightenment in his heart, "Yes, you come with me, we will rent a house over there. You can go to the port for a walk every day, and I will take you out to sea to relax when you have vacations. If you are afraid Lonely, we can hire someone to accompany you every day." He took Xia Xueying's hand, and said softly: "There are no two aunts talking to you, and you don't have to worry about the old man looking down on us again. You live with your son, You have the final say on everything, Mom, think about it, don't you feel comfortable living like that?"

There was a struggling look on Xia Xueying's face.

Xia Mo said again: "Grandpa's health is not as good as before. If one day he is gone, do you think uncle and aunt will allow us to live in the old house of Xia's? At that time, the property will be divided, and the two of us will live in Xia's house. How embarrassing will your position become? Mom, have you thought about this?"

Xia Xueying's eyes turned red, and she immediately showed a helpless look.

Xia Mo patted her on the shoulder, comforted her and said in a low voice: "When I was a child, I saw you get angry with your father, hiding in the bedroom and crying. At that time, I told myself that when I grow up, I should take good care of you and protect you. I can't bully you anymore. Mom, you see, I'm an adult now, and I dare not say anything, but it's no problem to support a family. Why can't you try to trust me?"

"It's not that I don't trust you." Xia Xueying lowered her head and shed tears, "In this family, I am a child in front of my father, but who would treat me like that outside this door?"

At the end of Xia suddenly felt powerless.His mother is a typical mentality of not wanting to grow up.

"Then you can't stay away from home forever," Xia Mo tried to persuade her, "Which family's children never leave home? You always say that the two aunts treat you badly, but if you want to see, neither of them I went out to study at the age of 20, and then I have been living in my husband's house. Who still lives in her mother's house?"

Xia Xueying looked at him quietly, "Are you disliking mom for being useless?"

"How could I..." Xia Mo sighed, "Mom, I just want to tell you, besides your own natal family, don't you still have me? Just because you refused to leave Xia's family, I have to be trapped here .People outside will think that I am useless. Mom, I am almost thirty, do you think whose son is so old and is still raised at my grandfather's house?"

"You're still blaming me..."

"No!" Xia Mo was suddenly a little annoyed. What's the point of talking like this, "When I graduated from college, I proposed to move out of Xia's house, but you refused to let it go. After that, every time I proposed to move out Wait, you will come up with all kinds of excuses to shirk. Mom, why can't you try to rely on your son? "

Xia Xueying was silent.She was used to seeing the magnificence of the Xia family. Compared with it, her son's shoulders were too thin for her to rely on wholeheartedly.

Xia Mo noticed a lot from her silence, and his heart was slowly filled with something called disappointment.However, even this disappointment is a bit powerless, "Don't you want me to stay by your side like before, in Xia's house, without going anywhere? Do you know that my grandfather thinks that I have been raised and disabled?!"

"How come?" Xia Xueying was surprised, "With the support of the Xia family, you can do many things..."

Xia Mo laughed at himself, "You also think that I can only do things by relying on the Xia family? Mom, do you really think so?"

Xia Xueying was at a loss.

Xia Mo shook his head in disappointment, "I'm also a big man. Back then I hated the dealer and Zhuang Chengyan so much... But now I have to use the opportunity he provided to prove to him that I'm not a wimp."

"Don't say that," Xia Xueying felt uncomfortable seeing him like this, "I know you stayed here to take care of me. Mo, I know it's all for me. I know you're a good boy."

"But I can't just be a good boy for the rest of my life." Xia Mo smiled bitterly, it seemed that he had to go to England.Otherwise, he might really have to confess his whole life in this old house that exudes a decaying smell, "I will accept my grandfather's arrangement and go to work in Bristol. Mom, you can choose to go with me, or you can choose to be alone." Stay at Xia's house."

Xia Xueying was taken aback, "Are you really going?"

End of Xia solemnly nodded.

At this moment, a strange relief appeared in his heart.

After sending the preoccupied Xia Xueying back to her room, Xia Mo began to plan to pack her things.In addition to personal belongings such as clothes, he also took away some books and materials.The remaining things also need to be sorted out by category, but he does not intend to keep these things in Xia's house.

If he wants to get rid of the marks branded on him by the Xia family, he must first show a clear gesture.He had figured it out, and if he really wanted to realize his goal of being Xia Xueying's backer, the first thing he had to do was to leave Xia's house.Only when he becomes stronger where the Xia family can't reach, can he hope to support her.

During this period of contact with the dealer, he understood many things.The people of the Xia family will use him because they don't intend to let him enter the core organization of the Xia family.What they value is the benefits he can bring. On the one hand, they need him to run errands, and on the other hand, they are on guard against him, for fear that his power will one day threaten the Xia family's children.And he had to be obedient, otherwise he would be "a white-eyed wolf that the Xia family doesn't know well".He messed up Xia's project in Binhai, and his two uncles and cousins ​​have already spread a lot of gossip behind his back.

But the dealers don't think so.In their view, the most important thing is to show their abilities at the end of summer.He is capable and promising, which is their goal in itself.

At the end of Xia, he felt that he had made many mistakes before.
