I thought I was a jerk

The young man's body is like a branch that can grow wildly when given rain and dew. When Xue Ci went to see him, Xie Wenhan had already completed two rounds of operations, and most of his injuries had recovered.

His hands and feet were splinted and he was still unable to move.On the contrary, the bandage on his face was removed first, revealing the young man's smooth and clean face, and the handsome appearance of the future could be faintly seen.

Xie Wenhan had been injured on his face before, but Xie Enrong broke his face with a whip, and there was a terrifying bloodstain running across his face.However, the treatment was timely and there was not much scar left, and the mark will fade away soon.At this time, Xie Wenhan raised his eyes and saw Xue Ci, and subconsciously wanted to sit up, and moved to Xue Ci's position, his dark pupils fell on Young Master Xue, and he smiled again.

He looks cold all the year round, and he doesn't like to laugh.But at this moment, the smile doesn't look forced, it's a bit warmer, and a bit colder, it just melts the good enthusiasm, like the spring breeze, into the lips and eyes.

Xue Ci sat beside him and told the wounded not to move around, then shook his hand and asked him, "Can you see it?"

Previously, Xie Wenhan was injured in his eyes, and everything he saw was blurry and had double images. He had just been diagnosed and treated.Xie Wenhan shook his head honestly, "I still can't see clearly."

"I just guessed you were here."

Xue Ci who said this was suspicious of what kind of smell he had, which could be caught and recognized by Xie Wenhan.He sniffed his sleeves, there was really a smoked Soho aroma, but it was relatively weak, Xie Wenhan's nose was also good.

Young Master Xue quickly paid no attention to it. Apart from visiting his doctor, he also came to tell Xie Wenhan the most important matter so far.

"Xie Enrong has been detained and is under trial."

Xie Wenhan didn't have any special reaction when he heard Xie Enrong's name.It's just that his eyes sank slightly, and the smile on his lips faded a little.Xue Ci is not a person who is easy to soften his heart, but when dealing with Xie Wenhan who has just had an accident, he is also a little more patient than usual, and his tone is gentler, "Punishment for several crimes, his crime will be severely punished."

In fact, the most important thing is that Xie Enrong may have committed murder.

But this matter was too dark, Xue Ci didn't plan to speak out to scare Xie Wenhan.

Young Master Xue's voice was very soft, like a plume of feathers blowing and falling, Xie Wenhan heard his deliberately considerate and gentle tone, and his heart was burned again.In fact, he has no special emotions towards Xie Enrong, no hatred or fear, only hope that he will be brought to justice and finally feel happy.

But Xie Wenhan suddenly understood how to be likable. He lowered his eyes slightly, as if frightened, and asked in a weak and slow voice: "Illegal detention? Torture? Or..."

Before Xie Wenhan finished speaking, voices of arguing came from outside the door.

The yelling and threats from the young people resounded throughout the corridor, and could be heard clearly even in the soundproofed ward.

Although Xie Wenhan sought medical treatment nearby, the hospital he stayed in was actually very famous, with complete medical equipment and strict management. It was not something ordinary people could casually break into and make trouble—so those who came to make trouble were not ordinary people either.

Xie Wenhan listened carefully, unwilling to let the person outside the door harass the doctors and patients again, and said to the bodyguard at the door: "Let him in."

The bodyguard was very merciful to the troublemaker, because this person had a special identity.

In the next moment, he broke in from the door and straightened his messy clothes, but his eyes were fierce.

This is exactly Xie Wenhan's theoretical stepbrother, called Xie Guanghui, who just came of age this year, wearing a soot-ash suit, smelling like alcohol, and came here from a banquet somewhere.Seeing Xie Wenhan's appearance, his expression distorted slightly, and he scolded: "You bastard, disaster star, our Xie family suffered a lot of bad luck and let you in. How dare you avenge your kindness!"

He was almost out of breath, but he could continue to curse: "You still want to sue my father? Forgot who you are, how did you get into Qingpu? Withdraw the lawsuit as soon as possible, or I will never let you go— —”

Xue Ci raised his head slightly from the side of the hospital bed, his fair complexion was extremely conspicuous, the stepbrother, who was dazed by anger, suddenly realized that there was a beautiful young man here, and was slightly startled.

Young Master Xue looked at him calmly, but what he said was very unpleasant.

"Do you think this can be resolved by withdrawing the lawsuit?"

It was only then that the stepbrother remembered that when the servants came to inform his father that his father had been accused of torture, it seemed that a classmate of Xie Wenhan was stirring up trouble and bringing the police to his home to search... Although he saw Xie Wenhan helplessly He was indeed injured, and he didn't think it was a big deal for me to beat his son, not to mention that it was Xie Wenhan, a moron, who was punished.

Xie Guanghui used to bully Xie Wenhan, when he heard that he dared to sue his father, his first thought was not to ask for forgiveness, but to order him to change his decision.

Their Xie family was born nobler than people like Xie Wenhan.

he thinks.

Xie Wenhan lowered his head slightly, and extremely dark emotions floated in those dark eyes, which was completely different from the gloomy and cold look in front of Xue Ci.He clenched his hands slightly, seeing the veins rising and falling, Xie Wenhan rolled his eyes, but his tone could not be heard, but looked pitiful: "Xue Ci, you should go back first. I am like this...it is not easy to keep you."

He was afraid that Xue Ci would see a terrifying scene of himself.

But Xue Ci was wrong, he just thought that Xie Wenhan didn't want to reveal his embarrassment in front of outsiders, after all, having such a stepbrother is really embarrassing.

Xue Ci is a character who is very good at keeping boundaries with others. It is fine to call it cold, but this is Xie Wenhan's own business. Xue Ci thinks that only Xie Wenhan can solve it by himself.

He didn't hesitate for a long time, then got up and left, leaving a few bodyguards of the Xue family at the door, and gave some instructions, mostly looking at Xie Wenhan, not to let him suffer.

Xie Wenhan used his unrecovered eyes to gently watch Young Master Xue disappearing at the end of the door, the light in his eyes sank for an instant.

He looked cold.

It is not the jerky coldness of the past because of resisting the outside world, but more of a gesture made to protect oneself.

Instead, it was gloomy and numb, with some hostility.

At that moment, Xie Guanghui felt that something was wrong... It was as if Xie Wenhan suddenly changed his personality, and Xie Guanghui's original arrogance stopped for a while, and he didn't make such a big fuss just now.

Obviously Xie Wenhan was lying on the hospital bed, he was a patient, and was tortured to death by his father.

"You..." Xie Guanghui said dryly, feeling that the child was strange.I heard Xie Wenhan say: "The lawsuit cannot be withdrawn."

Xie Guanghui suddenly realized what he was doing here.Now he just wants to solve this matter as soon as possible, and he doesn't care about taking advantage of this bastard, so he said with a dark face: "You just want money, right? I can give you a sum of money, enough for you and your mother to spend the rest of your life money."

"800 million, how about this number?" He held his temper and said in a negotiating tone, "It's worth more than a human life. You're just being beaten, and getting so much money, no matter how you look at it, it's worth it."

Xie Guanghui felt that it was because the Xie family was so rich that they agreed to give this amount, otherwise Xie Wenhan, a bastard, wouldn't get a penny.

His father's crimes were too solid, and he was arrested by many policemen on the spot, and there were physical witnesses for the injury appraisal, even if he hired the best lawyer, he couldn't defend his innocence.How could Xie's director be a psychopath if he was excused from the mental aspect.

The most direct, quickest and easiest method is to start with the plaintiff and get Xie Wenhan to give up the lawsuit.

The crime of abuse is a private prosecution case, and there is the possibility of private settlement.In Xie Guanghui's view, as long as enough money is spent, it is impossible for Xie Wenhan to bite him to death and not let go.

He is too poor.

Such poor people cannot stand temptation.

But Xie Wenhan seemed to see through what his stepbrother was thinking, his indifferent expression remained unchanged, and suddenly showed a little pity.

But it was not the kind of sympathetic pity, but full of malice, like ridicule, which made Xie Guanghui feel very uncomfortable at the first sight.

"Xie Guanghui, you seem to have made a mistake. Your father committed a public prosecution."

"Intentional homicide, understand?" Xie Wenhan said softly.

Xie Guanghui was really stunned for a moment, he opened his mouth and cursed: "You must be sick, if he kills, you can still stand here—"

Xie Enrong was actually not arrogant enough to tell a teenage child those secret past events, but Xie Wenhan continued to speculate completely through those clues during this period of time. He remembered Xie Enrong's red eyes and the hidden wounds on his mother's body.He knows better than anyone what point can give Xie Enrong a fatal blow, so in the short time after he regained consciousness, what he asked the police was not to investigate and collect evidence of his own wounds, but to cast a "real absurd" " "Big Lie", ask the police to investigate the bloody injustice that has been buried for a long time.

Xie Wenhan looked at his stepbrother, and said in an unusually calm tone: "Mr. Xie and his wife are very affectionate—although he has married four wives, the first three all died of illness one after another."

Xie Guanghui didn't understand why he brought up his father's love history. Of course he was very aware of these things, especially his mother had been with his father for the longest time and had conceived children for him. He had a very strong relationship, which made him think that his father would never marry again. Wen Han raised his eyes again, and the thick black color melted into malice in his eyes, "Actually, the three Mrs. Xie who died of illness were tortured and killed by Mr. Xie himself, and they were stolen. Your mother must have asked you for help before she died, but You didn't find anything. Later, your father killed your mother with his own hands, and you were still beside the murderer, in front of her tombstone, weeping and laying flowers, really—"

The weak young man on the hospital bed lifted his lips harshly.

"idiot."

·

"Anyway, I'm going out with all my tail."

Xie Enrong didn't sleep well last night, and his eyes were slightly darkened, but when he greeted the lawyer, he was still bright and tidy, maintaining the vigor of his own company boss.

Seeing the hesitant look on the face of the person opposite, Xie Enrong was very straightforward: "You can make a price whatever you want."

"It's not a matter of asking price." The lawyer seemed to think that his employer might be out of his mind, showing embarrassment, "The crime of intentional homicide, or several consecutive cases, is not the death penalty or life sentence. It's the result of hard work. Mr. Xie , I am very grateful for your affirmation of my professionalism, but it is better to hire someone else."

As soon as these words came out, Xie Enrong's face was slightly distorted in shock. He stood up suddenly, his face flushed and swollen, and subconsciously roared: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is slander. I want to sue you for slander—"

His head slammed against the wall, Xie Enrong woke up, his eyes were still red.

He didn't know how he could have such a weird dream, if he had a guilty conscience, but he had never had a nightmare because of what happened back then in the past twenty years, so how could he think of it on such an ordinary night.

No, it's not unusual either.

Xie Enrong looked up, the narrow environment in the detention center made him extremely depressed.He called his eldest son, wanting to ask if the matter entrusted to him was done safely, but there was only a busy tone on the phone, which made Xie Enrong even more violent.

That idiot can't even do such a simple thing.

But he is still very confident that Xie Wenhan will reconcile with him based on tens of millions.

He is the president of the Xie family, and he has stayed in this place long enough to be humiliated.Xie Enrong couldn't bear it anymore, he couldn't wait to go out.

At this time, the narrow door was opened.The police officer in front of him was changed, not the male police officer who detained him earlier.

The new police officer was older, with a serious face, and the creases at the corners of his eyes showed an air of calm and prestige. He was surrounded by many policemen with guns, and some writers with recording pens and notebooks.

"Xie Enrong." The leading police officer called his name calmly, "The murder of your wife committed 21 years ago, 19 years ago, and three years ago have all been investigated and collected evidence, what do you want to say now? "

Xie Enrong's eyes burst out at that moment, and his throat made a "ho ho ho" sound as if something had been stuffed into it. As soon as he fell down on the seat, his hands and feet were paralyzed and he couldn't use any strength, so he howled suddenly.

"No, no! This is a dream, this is a dream!"

...

Although the Xie family is only a low-level family, but during this period of time it is really "the limelight".The scandal swept across the entire Zhoucheng, and even the people from those big and famous families knew about Xie Enrong—of course, it was infamy.

Xie Enrong was sentenced to death.

Many people are talking about it in private.

After all, Xie Enrong could be sentenced to death because the crimes committed by Xie Enrong were too horrifying and vicious.

His crimes were revealed by someone, and it really shocked the eyes of others.

No matter how dark or notorious the disciples of the aristocratic family are, they rarely take action against their wives and relatives.But Xie Enrong killed three wives in a row, and wanted to attack the current Mrs. Xie, and imprisoned and abused his stepson. This is something that can only be done by a psychopath. Affected and fluctuated sharply.

I don't know who spread the news in the first place, but when people who had been in contact with Xie's family mentioned it, they all looked like they wanted to draw a clear line.They also feel wronged. Xie Enrong usually looks like a normal person, but at most he is a bit of a philistine. Who knew he was a perverted murderer?

His heart was hanging so badly that he even wanted to stay away from Xie Enrong's two Xie family children, so that his own children must never get close to them. Who knows if he has inherited Xie Enrong's madness.

Although fundamentally speaking, the two biological children of the Xie family were also victims. Their mother was killed by their father, and they kept it a secret for so many years.

After Xie Wen recovered from his cold injury, he took his mother and moved out of Xie's house completely.

Due to the attention of the Xue family, this case was handled conscientiously and transparently, and everything was handled smoothly.Xie Enrong has no other relatives such as parents and brothers, except his wife and children.After being executed, Mrs. Xie inherited half of the property and spiritual compensation according to law, and Xie Wenhan, as a stepson, also inherited part of the property and compensation.

Xie Wenhan sold his mother's equity into cash or real estate, stored it in an account, and hired the best nurses and psychiatrists to take care of her.With the efforts of the doctors, Mrs. Xie also began to regain her normal sanity, but she began to feel extremely painful because of what she had done.

She didn't want herself to get better, and she didn't want to face the crime of tricking Xie Wenhan back to Xie's house to be tortured and abused.

Although Xie Wenhan did not sue her, and even insisted that she was an unknowing victim, they all knew that in those few days, she had countless opportunities to untie that chain.

But she didn't.

She chose to sink in the basement together with Xie Wenhan, in the dark.

The nurses took care of Mrs. Xie most of the time, and Xie Wenhan would visit her occasionally, but very little time.

After Mrs. Xie returned to normal, she began to think about the days when her son would come over every day. It was the only time when she was not so anxious, as if she had received God's short forgiveness, which could relieve her pain.

Until Mrs. Xie couldn't bear to ask Xie Wenhan about that matter.

"Do you hate mom?" Mrs. Xie asked softly and pleadingly.

Xie Wenhan was helping Mrs. Xie comb her long hair at that time. It was obviously a very warm gesture, but he did it in a rigid manner, like some kind of task.

Hearing what his mother said, Xie Wenhan paused slightly, and replied calmly: "I don't feel anything."

He doesn't hate his mother anymore.

I will never look forward to her love again, and never reciprocate her care.

Obviously getting a fairly positive answer, Xie Wenhan didn't hate her, but Mrs. Xie paused at that moment.

She had already understood Xie Wen's wish in Han's words, lowered her tired eyes, and her heart was empty.

She still lost the family affection she once left behind with her own hands.

·

When the news of Xie Enrong's murder case gradually became undiscussed, Xie Wenhan returned to Qingpu again.

This surprised many people. After all, what happened, Xie Wenhan couldn’t face the original living environment, and it’s normal to start a new life in another place—there are so many prestigious schools, and Qingpu is not the only one, just like Xie Guanghui, who was originally in the third year of high school, quickly went through the transfer procedures.

Now that Xie Wenhan has inherited a large amount of inheritance, he is not as hard-pressed as he was at the beginning. He can only rely on Qingpu's scholarship.

The Xie family's status is really ordinary, but they are also really rich. Many families who claim to be middle-class are hard to compare.

But Xie Wenhan just came back, and he devoted himself to intensive study as soon as school started, so he didn't have time to talk to others.

After hearing about Xie's family, many people felt that Xie Wenhan was pitiful, and wanted to find a chance to comfort him.As a result, looking at Xie Wenhan's face made him choke. Except that he was colder, as usual, he didn't care about other people's caring or curious eyes, which made them all start to suspect that the one who was abused in the rumors was rescued by the police. Is Xie Wenhan's stepson Xie Wenhan——

But one thing is still different.

For example, Xie Wenhan would only show any expression other than that dead face in front of Xue Ci.

The first thing Xie Wenhan did after returning to school was not to hurry up with his studies as other people thought, but to put it in his bag. On Xue Ci's desktop.

They all came early, and no one else was sitting in the classroom yet.

Xue Ci raised his head and saw Xie Wenhan. The young man was a little thinner, but his height was noticeably thinner, and he was in good spirits. The trauma he had suffered was no longer visible. He pursed his lips slightly, showing a shy smile.

In front of him is the paper box handed over by Xie Wenhan, the packaging is a little more delicate than last time.

It's been so long, Xue Ci almost forgot that they still have a "candy delivery agreement".

This time Xue Ci took it at ease, after all, he was very busy and caused a lot of trouble for these few candies.

Young Master Xue sighed slightly in his heart, sweets are misleading.

Like last time, he opened it in front of Xie Wenhan, and picked out a moon-wrapped candy, which contained milk nougat, with just the right sweetness and mellow taste, even more delicate than last time.Xue Ci bit the candy and switched sides.

Young Master Xue's fair cheeks puffed up slightly, and he said vaguely, "I don't thank you this time, I deserve it."

Xie Wenhan was very happy to see Xue Ci picked it up.But when I heard his words, I laughed a little.

He looked tenderly at Xue Ci who was about to put away the carton after opening the second candy, paused for a moment, and said with a light cough: "There are still things underneath."

This time the candy box was much heavier than last time, but Xue Ci didn't pay much attention, only thinking that the weight was too much.After listening to Xie Wenhan's words, I realized that the bottom of the candy box was thick with interlayers, and the contract paper was drawn out.

Xue Ci lowered his eyes slightly, originally he just glanced over it, but he paused slightly when he saw the words on it.

It was an equity and property transfer agreement.

The authorizer is Xie Wenhan, and it is assigned to him.

Xie Wenhan lowered his eyes slightly, but did not dare to look at Xue Ci.

The above things, even for the young master of the Xue family, cannot be regarded as a small fortune.

Xie Wenhan's fingertips were trembling nervously, but he still said very seriously: "...This is all my property now, and the only thing I can take out."

"I want to give it to you."

Xue Ci: "..."

He couldn't help reminding: "As a minor, signing this kind of contract should not take effect..."
