I thought I was a jerk

But there is always room for resolution.

Even if Xue Fu told Xue Ci now - I am very calm and very sure, I am afraid that A Ci will not win his trust because of this.

He sighed slightly, frowned and said to Xue Weixuan beside him, "You leave first."

It's an imperative tone.

Xue Weixuan raised his head slightly, revealing a section of his neck, very thin and extremely pale.There was a bit of rebellion in his eyes, and he was not willing to just bow his head like this.

"You are not the one who asked me to come." Xue Weixuan said.

What he received was Xue Ci's money, and he took money to do things.

Xue Fu didn't have time to deal with Xue Weixuan yet, but Xue Weixuan dared to confront him blatantly.This indeed aroused Xue Fu's anger a little. Young Master Xue leaned slightly on the seat, his slender fingertips intertwined, which is the gesture he usually makes at the negotiating table, and the momentum is almost overwhelming Strong, with gloom in his eyes like ink, "Who do you think you are talking to?"

Xue Weixuan's face became even paler.

He moved his lips twice, only making a breathy sound.After all, he is too young, even if he has been in the society and seen many messy things, he is far from being able to compete with Xue Fu's status.Xue Weixuan's back was almost straightened, cold sweat began to seep from his back, and the expression on his face became more and more difficult to look at - it was Xue Ci who interrupted all this.Young Master Xue frowned slightly, his voice was very cold: "Okay."

So Young Master Xue stopped the oppression abruptly, restrained his momentum, and looked a little guilty and obedient.

Only then did Xue Ci say to Xue Weixuan: "Thank you for coming. You go back first."

There's nothing to thank, I took the money anyway—

Xue Weixuan wanted to answer him so easily, but now he was still unable to say a word because of the fear, so he could only nod with a livid face.When he stood up, he took a deep look at Xue Ci, and left this place that should have no connection with him.

There was a moment of silence inside the restaurant.

The waiter had already stood far away with a very winking look, obviously not daring to hear their conversation.Facing Ah Ci, Xue Fu lost his momentum again. Under the warm light, he first beckoned the waiter to come to order, and still whispered to Xue Ci: "Eat something first, it's so late, Ah Ci."

He remembered that Xue Ci's stomach was not good, and the three meals should not be messed up. It was his mistake that Ah Ci hadn't eaten until now.

"Wait back," Xue Fu's tone revealed a plea and a hint of discretion, "I'll tell you everything again."

There was really nothing to blame for Xue Fu's actions, Xue Ci paused, and took the menu again with lowered eyes.

The level of this restaurant is not in vain, and it is indeed Xue Ci's preferred taste.But the meal between the two was very quiet, with almost no communication.Xue Fu was feeling guilty now, and he didn't dare to attract Ah Ci's attention, for fear that he would lose his appetite.

This was not the scene Xue Fu had imagined to have dinner with Ah Ci, he felt more remorse, and forced himself to calm down and polish his words.

The two finished their meal.Xue Fu originally wanted to send Ah Ci back to Xue's mansion, but he thought now is not a good time.So he re-selected an apartment under his own name as the destination, which is the place where he usually rests temporarily after working overtime until midnight.

Xue Ci had no objection to this decision.

After the password door is opened, the lights automatically turn on, the air conditioner runs, and the sound of heating hot water starts to come from the bathroom.Xue Fu asked his younger brother to sit on the sofa first, and went to pour him a drink——

It's a pity that there is a full face of red wine in the villa, and there are no drinks that young people like to drink chilled in the refrigerator.Xue Fu chose for a long time, and finally hesitated about the wine in the freezer, and went to pour a cup of hot water and put it in front of Xue Ci.

The dense heat floated up.Xue Ci looked at the water glass with narrowed eyes, and thanked softly.

Xue Fu sat opposite him.

On the way back just now, he had asked his special assistant to sort out some materials and send them to him.At this time, Xue Fu calmed down a little, turned on the projector, and projected the investigation reports on the snow-white wall.

Most of the reports are quite detailed text descriptions, but there are also many pictures.

"Ah Ci."

Xue Fu said, "That's why I first... came into contact with him."

Xue Weixuan's life report is written on paper.

Xue Fu had investigated him a long time ago, proving that Xue Weixuan is indeed the blood of the Xue family, not a liar.

He has had a hard time in the past ten years.

The first is his origin.

Xue Weixuan's mother came from an ordinary family, she was an orphan, and she was fostered by her aunt's house since she was a child.Her aunt treated her well, but after all, she was not so comfortable depending on others. Shi resolutely participated in a small draft and made her debut successfully, but she was still not well off financially.

But she has a very pretty face.

There is never a shortage of young, beautiful and hard-working girls in this circle, but not everyone has the opportunity.Later, Xue Weixuan's mother complied with some unspoken rules in this circle and obtained resources. Xiaohong was temporarily sent to Xue Zhengjing's side.

At that time, Xue Zhengjing had just lost his wife, and many people gave him women, but only Xue Weixuan's mother became one.However, he didn't achieve success as others thought, but inexplicably went downhill, just like those countless little stars who were once brilliant and then quickly disappeared, they were vague and had no sense of existence.

The only extraordinary thing is that she concealed the birth of a child.

and Xue Zhengjing's child.

When she came to the door with her full-term, white and lovely child in her arms, and vowed that she could do a genetic test, Xue Zhengjing was aroused into a storm of anger.

Xue Ci was just two years old at the time, she was small and soft, and she could be hurt extremely easily.And a woman brought an illegitimate child, hoping to share the love with Xue Ci, and using this to become Mrs. Xue and occupy the vacant position of the mistress of the Xue family.

No matter which point it was, they had stepped on Xue Zhengjing's bottom line.

She thought that children would be very important to Xue Zhengjing——for a family like theirs, it was indeed very important.But only the "recognized" children born with the first wife are important.As for illegitimate children?On the contrary, some playboys who are too sloppy and dandy will accidentally make it out, which is already extremely disgraceful, let alone bring it home.

To Xue Zhengjing, this was more like a stain.Put him on the same level as those incompetent dandies, and remind him of the humiliation of overturning the gutter all the time.So Xue Weixuan and his mother didn't ask for any benefits from Xue's family, only the minimum amount of living expenses, compared to charity, for Xue Zhengjing's background and strength, it is more like a deliberate insult .

Xue Weixuan's mother actually saved some money, a house and some brand-name jewelry given by her old lover, so even though she had a child, it was difficult to return to the showbiz, and it was not too difficult.But after a few years of being so muddled, Xue Weixuan's mother suddenly fell ill. Just like her former parents, she suffered from serious heart disease and genetic diseases, and the money was spent like running water, almost emptying the family.When Xue Weixuan was seven years old, she couldn't find a suitable source of heart. She should have died of illness, but she was inexplicably funded by others, and survived the operation.Severe sequelae continued to consume her health and energy, and she was hospitalized all year round. As a result, Xue Weixuan went out to work as a child laborer before she was an adult, dropped out of school after finishing junior high school, and struggled in society.

Xue Weixuan is young, so of course what he can do is not a serious job. With his height and surprisingly strong strength, he worked as a coolie in a black factory and learned from usury to collect debts.Appreciated by his "big brother", he has also done many shameful things, and he is fierce and vicious with the ruffian temper honed in the gangsters.

If he was an ordinary person, the money he got would be enough for him to live well.But he happened to have a mother who was seriously ill in bed and had to hang herself by drugs.

The money is not enough.

The first time Xue Fu intervened in matters related to Xue Weixuan, Xue Weixuan was already lying on the operating table at that time, almost being tricked into removing all his organs.

After all, he has a trace of blood from the Xue family. Xue Fu couldn't bear such a thing to happen. Xue Weixuan's organs were used on other people, so he helped him and gave him a sum of money.

Xue Weixuan has always known that he is the seed of the Xue family, but he is more sober than his mother, and does not dream of knocking something from the Xue family, knowing that he cannot afford to provoke someone like Xue Zhengjing.That is to say, Xue Fu helped him once. He knew that there was a way out from Xue Fu, so he came forward to ask for money a few times-although he was playing a rascal every time, he knew how to measure it until he ordered it, and so on and on. Asked for money several times.

"Xue Ci." Xue Fu spoke slowly, and he turned off the projector, "Xue Weixuan is not a good person, I don't want you to get too close to him."

Xue Weixuan grew up in the society since he was a child, and he was able to beat debtors half to death and force them to jump off a building in order to get money. It can be said that the roots of his bones are crooked, and he rushed up to sniff the scent of flesh and blood like a vulture and peck at the last bit of flesh .He is not a poor ghost, and what he needs is not sympathy. Xue Fu can let himself touch him, but he will never let his younger brother come into contact with such an unstable source of danger.

Xue Ciwei was a little lost in thought.

Is it the same for Xue Weixuan in his previous life?

Later, Xue Fu admired him, and Xue's father took him by his side to teach... Xue Weixuan was able to grow up to be like that, and he really has potential and heart.

In a daze, Xue Ci didn't hear what Xue Fu said.When he came back to his senses, Xue Fu had already mentioned another topic.

He looked a little inexplicably cold, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Except for this little sympathy, I have never interfered with anything related to Xue Weixuan. Ah Ci, if this makes you feel uneasy, from now on, I will not Will not have any contact with him again."

Xue Fu's guarantee was very firm, without any hesitation.

Xue Ci in his previous life probably needed such assurance or comfort as a reassurance, even if it was to deal with his words.But now that he no longer needs his brother's confirmation and preference, Xue Fu wants to give it to him, which makes Xue Ciwei a little stunned.

But it only lasted for a moment.

His heart was sealed up intact again.Xue Ci stared at Xue Fu quietly, just like every year and every time in the past, when she appeared in front of Xue Fu, she always looked very calm and calm.

But the emotions in the eyes can't see to the end, and they can't see through.

"Brother," Xue Ci said, "I want to see my father."

Xue Zhengjing is very busy.

To be able to find time to go back to Xue's house yesterday was already out of the itinerary, and naturally I have accumulated some work until today.But when he heard that Xue Ci wanted him to come back, he put off work and returned to Xue's house without asking why.

Although Xue Fu dared to make up his own mind on trivial matters, he did not dare to hide anything about Ah Ci, so he called his father in advance on the road.

Xue Zhengjing was much calmer than he imagined, and he just responded to show that he knew.That calm attitude even made Xue Fu start to wonder if he didn't convey it properly—so he repeated it again.

"Ah Ci found out about the illegitimate child. He looked...a bit sad."

This time Xue Zhengjing remained silent for a while, but his tone was still calm.

"I see."

"I'll take care of it."

Xue Zhengjing returned to Xue's house faster than Xue Ci imagined.

Father Xue looked at the expression on his youngest son's face, and focused his eyes on his eyes. Seeing that there was no redness or other marks, he calmly withdrew his gaze and sat opposite Xue Ci.

Xue Zhengjing's posture in front of others would bring enormous psychological pressure.But the opposite was his youngest son, and his tough posture turned into a kind of gentle and considerate restraint.

Xue Ci didn't speak first, but Xue Zhengjing first thought of what question Xue Ci should want to ask most now as his youngest son.So he replied frankly: "I didn't cheat. During my marriage with your mother, I have only had her as a lover and a wife."

The mothers of Xue Ci and Xue Fu are quite typical ladies, gentle and talented women.He and Xue Zhengjing are in love with each other, and their relationship is not bad. Many people ridiculed that the former Prince Xue took care of his family after marrying a wife and having children.Even if there are a lot of superficial marriages in their circle, and they play their own way in private, Xue Zhengjing and his wife who died young are definitely not among them.

After explaining this point, Xue Zhengjing's expressionless but cold and astonishing expression softened a bit, and he said: "Xue Fu should have told you about the general things. But there are still some things that he can't investigate, and I also I can tell you."

Xue Ci remained silent since Father Xue spoke.At this time, he slightly opened his eyes, those eyes were as black as ink, reflecting some kind of emotion, but Father Xue didn't notice.

Xue Zhengjing recalled the past.

That part of the past was actually a typical episode of his sinking. Xue Zhengjing was still quite young at the time, and he regarded it as a humiliation, a forbidden area, and no one was allowed to mention it.But after so many years, his mentality has changed a long time ago, even if he wants to mention the past in front of his young son, it is not something difficult to talk about, as long as Xue Ci doesn't feel alienated by it.

His voice was low: "I had that episode with another woman many years ago because I was drugged. Later, I took revenge on the leader of that incident, but I showed mercy to her."

"Unexpectedly, she gave me a 'big surprise'."

When he said this, Xue Zhengjing's voice was a bit cold.Obviously, Xue Weixuan's mother was able to hide the truth from his subordinates and not take the contraceptive pill. For him, it was the second time the gutter capsized.

"I just treat this kind of humiliation as if it doesn't exist. Xue Ci, you don't have to care about it." Xue Zhengjing was very restrained in front of Xue Ci, paying attention not to reveal that kind of cruelty when he acted.But he was indeed offended today, and he still showed his true nature, "If that illegitimate child dares to commit an offense in front of you, I will make him 'quiet' from now on."

Xue Ci was no stranger to seeing Xue Zhengjing like this.

There is no joy of being "valued" at all.

He should have known in his previous life that his father had such a side.

What is one's own flesh and blood?

He is also Xue Zhengjing's own flesh and blood, the second son of the same sibling as his elder brother, as long as he is hated by Xue Zhengjing, he is nothing but a burden that can be discarded at any time.

From this point of view, it was probably because he didn't have many chances to offend Xue Zhengjing in his previous life, and he hadn't learned his true ruthless side—should he be lucky, that Xue Zhengjing was still merciful to him.

Shocked by the strong satirical desire, Xue Ci's lips even curled up slightly uncontrollably.But in fact, his face is expressionless now, his face is as pale as paper, only his eyes are as bright as the shining stars in the night.

"Father." Xue Ci's voice was very soft, a gentle and gentle tone.He suddenly asked: "... When Xue Weixuan's mother was seriously ill, did you arrange heart surgery for her?"

Xue Zhengjing showed a slightly surprised expression for the first time today, although he was quickly put away.Xue Zhengjing frowned for a moment and asked him, "Did Xue Fu tell you?"

Xue Ci looked at him quietly.Xue Zhengjing said slowly: "This is my last bit of kindness to her."

Heart surgery is not only expensive, but luck and connections are indispensable to waiting for a suitable matching heart.

Back then, Xue Weixuan's mother was able to survive, it seemed like some kind of incredible miracle.

It turned out that Xue Zhengjing was behind the push.

But Xue Ci suddenly said: "It's not kindness."

Xue Zhengjing's eyes fell on his youngest son, and the corners of his lips were slightly tensed.

"She survived, but she was plagued by illnesses, exhausted and suffering. Living like this, I can't say which is more painful than dying." Xue Ci slightly bent his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes, "What's more important is that , She concealed the son you gave birth to, and she will never get away before her mother dies, and she is in debt to pay for medical expenses...Father, is this a punishment?"

This is Xue Zhengjing's aboveboard conspiracy.

He didn't do anything illegal, even after Xue Weixuan and his mother knew about it, they would still be grateful to him.Even if they do it all over again, they will still pray to Xue Zhengjing to lead that heart surgery for them.

But he also consciously led them, mother and son, to suffer from this for the rest of their lives, unable to escape.This is also the reason why Xue Fu can obviously give a sum of money directly to make Xue Weixuan have no worries about food and clothing, so that Xue Weixuan does not have to take risks because of his mother's medical expenses, but he has always been very restrained.It's not that he feels that his illegitimate brother is not worth the money, but that he can only do it under his father's restrictions.Compared with an illegitimate younger brother, Xue Fu would not do things that would make his father unhappy, this is his trade-off.

Xue Zhengjing's jaw tightened a bit, but there was still no disturbance on his face: "Ah Ci, you are overthinking. It's just that their lives are bad."

Indeed, it's just bad luck.

Xue Ci felt that the self in his previous life might just be one of the "bad fates" in Xue Zhengjing's eyes... What changes will happen in this life? Does he have to wait in fear that one day Xue Zhengjing will reflect on himself, and then take back himself "Beloved"?

Xue Ci did surprise Xue Zhengjing today.

That was the child that he raised with his own hands, and the youngest child that he protected extremely well.Xue Zhengjing didn't expect Xue Ci to think of this - but it should be just a guess.

Even if Xue Fu investigates these things, he will know what not to tell Ah Ci.

So he just needs to hide the past. When it really gets entangled, he just did a good thing incognito.

Father Xue stood up and wanted to put his hand on Ah Ci's forehead, telling him not to think about it.

Xue Zhengjing is a person who is difficult to show his emotions. When he was a child, he would often hug and touch his forehead with his young son, but since Xue Ci left Zhoucheng and grew into a teenager, such gestures were much less .At this time, it is rare to reveal my comforting thoughts.

Xue Ci was still a child in front of him.

Of course, because the father has an illegitimate child, a complete stranger may be inserted into the family and feel uneasy.

Xue Zhengjing's gaze instantly looked very gentle, but Xue Ci took a step back in response.When his fingertips fell into the air, Xue Zhengjing paused slightly, but withdrew his hand calmly, "Xue Ci..."

"Father." Xue Ci said, "I have one last question."

He lowered his head slightly, Xue Zhengjing couldn't see his expression clearly, he could only see Xue Ci's soft black hair, softly attached to his ears, slightly long.

"I believe you, you really don't like Xue Weixuan very much." Xue Ci's crow-black eyelashes were slightly drawn, covering the gloomy eyes, "It's just a father-son blood relationship, you should know what he has experienced. Seeing him so desolate In embarrassment, he was almost killed, do you have any... sympathy for him?"

Xue Ci couldn't tell the secrets he was carrying, and couldn't tell his father about the past lives.He can only use Xue Weixuan to ask him——

Seeing his son who was not favored by him so unresponsive, and even died, would Xue Zhengjing sigh because of this, even if he felt a little bit of sympathy and guilt——

"No."

Xue Zhengjing looked cold, he frowned slightly, really wondering why Xue Ci asked such a question.

"Xue Ci," Xue Zhengjing said, "he is not my son at all."

Xue Ci's heart became silent when he heard it, as if a snowflake had silently melted under the scorching sun, truly silent and without a trace.

Xue Ci unexpectedly found that he was not in any sad mood.

Before he died in his previous life, he already knew that Xue Zhengjing was such a father, but he just confirmed it again.

"I see."

Xue Ci said.

"I'm a little tired, I'm going to rest first." Young Master Xue didn't wait for Father Xue's answer at all, so he turned and went upstairs by himself.Xue Zhengjing frowned slightly, looked at Xue Ci's back, called the family doctor after a while, but he didn't follow.

Perhaps today's change was too big for Xue Ci.

Xue Ci returned to his room, looked through the floor-to-ceiling glass, and saw stars.Although the lights were lit in the flower garden, the light was weak, and the large rose fields could not be seen clearly.

Xue Ci took out his mobile phone and took a picture facing the night sky.

He wants to see what things need to be taken away, but books can be bought again, materials can be reorganized, USB flash drives that store chip technology can be reproduced, and Xue Ci doesn't need daily necessities, it seems that it is enough Let him take away, it seems that this piece of night sky is left.

The rest is to pay back the Xue family's expenses for his upbringing over the years.

The painstaking debt among them is difficult to separate clearly.

But the cost of cultivating him——can estimate a rough figure.

The Xue family did not treat him badly in terms of life. Although Xue Ci used the chip patent funds to spend after adulthood, he enjoyed the treatment of the young master of the Xue family before he became an adult.
