Chapter 5
“Can I come in for a chat?” Tong Jiaxi’s two fingers were tightly clasped, because of too much force his fingertips were a little white.
Chen Xu didn’t expect that he would take the initiative to come to him. Is Tong Jiaxi planning to confess to him?
“Yeah.” Chen Xu turned sideways to let Tong Jiaxi in.
“Thank you.” Tong Jiaxi pursed his lips, his face pale.
He is not tall, with just over 1.7 meters, a slender figure, and a small face just the size of a palm. He looks weak and pitiful.
Chen Xu poured him a glass of water, and Tong Jiaxi took it with both hands. He lowered his head and looked at the glass of water in his hand for a long time before raising his head to talk to Chen Xu.
“Chen Xu, were you really with Uncle Si last night?”
His question made Chen Xu shocked. Chen Xu thought he was here to talk to him about the drugs, but he didn’t expect that he would come to talk to himself about ‘that’.
Chen Xu put the glass on the table with one hand, and casually speak: “Didn’t Xia You and Pan Qizhi admit that they framed me? You don’t believe it?”
“No.” Tong Jiaxi bit his lower lip, with a forbearing expression, “I just want to know what happened to you and Uncle Si last night?”
Tong Jiaxi’s words made Chen Xu startled, and immediately he remembered that Tong Jiaxi had drugged him last night. There was aphrodisiac drug in that glass of wine. The amount was not very large, but it was enough to make an intoxicated person lose control.
Chen Xu did not go back to the room last night. Si Ye said that they were together again. Tong Jiaxi naturally thought that the drug would cause something to happen between him and Si Ye. This is enough to explain why Si Ye would speak out this morning. To support him.
Did anything happened last night?
Chen Xu is not sure about it. He only have the fragments of his drunk memories, but according to the shower he just finished, there is no suspicious trace on his body. There shouldn’t be any excessive behavior between him and Si Ye, not to mention the clean private life of Si Ye. Tong Jiaxi really thinks too much about it, how he can have something to do with a junior like him?
Seeing Chen Xu’s silence, Tong Jiaxi’s heart became more flustered. His hand holding the cup unconsciously began to exerted some strength, and his fingertips turned white.
With a “pop”, the glass in his hand fell to the ground, and the warm water inside splashed to the ground.
“How can Chen Xu be so shameless! You even seduce Uncle Si!” Tong Jiaxi completely ignored the broken glass on the ground, stood up suddenly, pointed at Chen Xu and cursed.
“I said why Uncle Si was so abnormal this morning. It turned out that it was all your doing. Chen Xu, you are too disgusting.” Tong Jiaxi has completely fallen into his own imagination, constantly swearing, and he is probably anxious. He was trembling all over, eyes red and with glistening tears.
Chen Xu sat in the chair motionlessly without retorting, raising his brows slightly, and said sarcastically, “Isn’t that thanks to you? I should thank you for it.”
“What do you mean?” Tong Jiaxi with a guilty mind recoiled and pointed at Chen Xu’s hand, and asked with his neck shrunken.
“Don’t you know what I mean? What did you put in the glass of wine last night, don’t you know?” Every word of Chen Xu shocked Tong Jiaxi. He didn’t expect Chen Xu to suspect him. He didn’t expect that he would be exposed so quickly.
“I…I don’t…” Tong Jiaxi retorted subconsciously.
“Do you or not, you know it in your own heart.” Chen Xu looked at him calmly, but the calm eyes made Tong Jiaxi panic, and he ran out in fear.
Chen Xu originally thought that Tong Jiaxi was forced by Si Yichen and his gang. Now it seems that there may be Si Yichen’s doing but Tong Jiaxi himself should also want to harm him.
But it’s really strange. Chen Xu doesn’t feel that he has offended Tong Jiaxi. Why does Tong Jiaxi want to harm him?
Si Yichen was jealous because he regarded him as an imaginary enemy, what about Tong Jiaxi? What is he trying to achieve?
Thinking of what Tong Jiaxi said just now, Chen Xu squinted his eyes. Could it be because of Si Ye again?
If this is the case, Chen Xu is afraid that it is difficult to control that he wants to provoke Si Ye. One or two of them will harm him because of Si Ye.What’s the use of getting rid of him? If it doesn’t solve the problem fundamentally, sooner or later there will be a second and third Chen Xu.
Chen Xu rubbed his temples because of a headache. He must get revenge against Si Yichen for killing him, but it is impossible for him to kill Si Yichen, even if he still clearly remembers how painful the fire is. , But he must cherish the life he got.
Si Yichen cares most about Si Ye. He has always hoped to receive Si Ye’s attention and admiration since he was a child. He also knows clearly that only if Si Ye likes him can he take over Si Yechen’s position and become the heir of Si Ye.
The situation of the Si family is more complicated. The Si family really got up in status at the generation of Si Ye’s grandfather. By marrying Si Ye’s grandmother, Jiang family, the Si family has grown and the Si family can have its current status. It can be said that half of the credit belongs to Si Ye’s grandma Jiang Mei.
Grandfather Si married Jiang Mei and gave birth to his eldest son Si Yaoqian, who was Si Ye’s father, second daughter Si Wanping, and then cheated with Pan Manrong, and gave birth to the third son Si Yaowei. After Jiang Mei’s death, Pan Manrong. marry into the family and be the second wife.
After the death of Mr. Si, Si family was naturally handed to Si Yaoqian. Si Yaoqian and Si Ye’s mother Tao Minzhi had two children. The eldest son Si Jinwen and the youngest son Si Ye, except that Si Jinwen and his wife Sun Keting had passed away twelve years ago. Only one single child Si Ye was left in the Si family’s big house to inherit the family business. Unfortunately, he was kidnapped when he was twelve years old and he has been treating his body abroad since he returned and he was as infertile.
It was also this year that Si Ye recognized his brother and sister-in-law’s adopted son as a righteous son, and trained him to be the future heir of the Si family. This person is Si Yichen.
The biggest objection to this matter was Si Ye’s aunt Si Wanping. She always believed that the Si family should be at the helm. It’s a pity that the Si family is a more traditional family. He waited until he was thirty before getting married. In order not to marry out, the husband also became a patriarch, indulging in art every day, and having a daughter with Si Wanping.
The daughter is also useless. She only knows to have fun every day until she has children, she has to marry her current husband. Now the three-year-old son is always taught by Si Wanping. Si Wanping puts all her hopes on her grandson. Si Ye is only twenty-eight years old and still young. When she trains her grandson to become a talent, Si Ye should pass on Si’s family to his grandson instead of the outsider Si Yichen.
As for Si Ye’s third uncle, Si Yaowei, he is the least qualified to inherit the Si family. His mother is in the third place. As soon as the father is gone, his mother is sent out to live. Although he is not short of money, he is not qualified to intervene in the Si family. Si Ye promised to keep Pan Qizhi because of his face, at least outsiders wouldn’t say that his family treats Pan Manrong harshly.
In order to avoid suspicion, Chen Xu went to art school in university. In this life, he does not plan to do it again. Since he avoids suspicion, he is low-key, and ends up being killed in the end, why not do everything he wants and let Si Yichen be unhappy.
He would snatch away the things Si Yichen yearn for. What’s more, he absolutely couldn’t let Si Yichen inherit the Si family. According to Si Yichen’s keen eye, he would undoubtedly die if he inherit the family.
The phone thrown on the bed suddenly rang. Chen Xu picked it up and saw that it was Guan Qingqing’s call. Guan Qingqing was the monitor of their class and his deskmate.
“Hello, what’s the matter?” Chen Xu answered the phone.
“Handsome guy, the call finally got through. It’s not easy to find you. I have sent you a hundred WeChat messages and a hundred video calls!” Guan Qingqing exaggerated.
“Thank you so much.” Chen Xu curled up the corner of his mouth.
“I can’t find you once the college entrance examination is over. Where did you go?” Guan Qingqing was a bit noisy, and Chen Xu didn’t answer, so he changed his phone.
“Old Chen, come out! I’ll be a guest.” Ke Xinghao’s family is a nouveau riche. His father is a coal boss and he is not stingy with money. Three years in high school, there is no insufficient treat , and he bought Chen Xu’s breakfast for almost three whole years.
Chen Xu heard the youthful and enthusiastic voices, and felt nostalgic, “Where to eat?”
“The old place! The barbecue stall at the back of our school!” Ke Xinghao said, “During the college entrance examination, my mother would not let me eat, saying that the food outside was unclean, and it would cause diarrhea. I can do well without diarrhea.”
Chen Xu hasn’t been to that barbecue stall in a few years, and now he hear Ke Xinghao mentioning it he really miss it.
“Okay.” Chen Xu agreed.
“Great, the monitor and I are waiting for you at the school gate.” Ke Xinghao said excitedly.
Chen Xu changed into a black T-shirt, which made his skin look fair and glowing, fixed his hairs with his hands, took the phone and went out.
“Master Xu, do you want to go out?” The servant at home stepped forward and asked with a smile on his face.
Chen Xu gave him a strange look, why are you so diligent today?
“Yeah.” He nodded and walked straight out.
“Master Xu, I’ll call the driver. What car do you want to take today?” The servant hurried to catch up.
“No, I’ll ride the bike by myself.” Chen Xu ignored the abnormal servant, took his bike, with his long leg he step on the paddle and rode it , and handsomely disappeared from the servant’s sight.
“Why are you so attentive to Master Xu today?” The sweeping servant asked curiously.
“You don’t know how much the patriarch has defended the young master this morning.” The servant who was trying to curry favor stared with an explanation with the urge to gossip on his face.
When he said this, the servants around all swept over.
“I’m not working in the house today, and I didn’t hear what happened. Quickly tell us what’s going on.”
“Hey, let me tell you that this Si family is going to change, and Master Chen has fallen out of favor…”
Chen Xu reach the school gate in thirty minutes. Before getting off the bike, he heard a whistle.
“Hey~ handsome guy, look over here!” Guan Qingqing was taking a picture with her mobile phone facing Chen Xu.
“Qingqing, your whistle didn’t sound good, I’ll blow one for you.” Wang Chengyi immediately blew.
“Old Chen, you are finally here, and I’m almost becoming an immortal.” Ke Xinghao leaned over and said bitterly.
Chen Xu pushed away the face he had approached, “Stop, ugly— rejection¹.”
“Hahahaha, Ke Xinghao, don’t try to get on top of our school grass².” The girl with a ponytail smiled.
Ke Xinghao pretended to be sad and scolded Chenxu as a heartless man, and a group of young people walked to the barbecue stall talking and laughing.
“Sir, do you want to call Master Xu over?” the driver asked respectfully, stopped the car on the side of the road.
Si Ye sat in the car and looked at Chen Xu, who was talking and laughing with his classmates across the road. The sun shining on his smiling cheeks made his heartbeat accelerate.
