Chapter 513
Wu Xie and Fatty Wang drove to Yun Province. They were sitting by the Moon Lake, drinking tea and admiring the beautiful scenery. Suddenly, a tall and beautiful woman passed by Fatty Wang and a lipstick fell from her body.
Fatty Wang looked at the graceful woman, then looked at the lipstick that had fallen on the ground. He bent down to pick up the lipstick, and when he looked up again, he saw that the woman was standing beside him.
"Thank you, handsome guy!"
The woman simply thanked him and left. Fatty Wang seemed to be possessed by a ghost, "Wu Xie, I feel like I'm in love!"
Wu Xie turned his head with a look of unprecedented caution in his eyes, looking at the cold and beautiful woman who had already walked away, "Fatty, you are in love every day of the year! Have you ever succeeded?"
Fatty Wang looked at Wu Xie in shock, "Are you still my best friend? Why do you want to hurt me like this?"
Wu Xie rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Look at your appearance, and then look at me sitting opposite you! If I were a normal woman, my first reaction would be to look for me, not a fat guy like you!"
Wang Pangzi thought about it and it made sense, "That's right!" But Wang Pangzi changed the subject and said, "Then the people who don't care about it just like my type?"
Wu Xie picked up the teacup and hid the smile on his face. "Whatever a woman wears is not cheap, and some of the items need to be ordered in advance. Why do you think a woman like this would fall in love with you?"
All the money that Fatty Wang earned from working in the fields these years was given to Xiao Taohong, who lived near his shop. How could he have any savings? Moreover, Fatty Wang was just an ordinary citizen. When it came to branded goods, the most popular ones were Anta and Nike. He didn't know anything about other brands.
Wu Xie was different. Although his family cut off his financial support after graduation, he was from a wealthy family after all. He had some understanding of luxury goods. Moreover, he went out to play with his friends while studying in Germany.
Fatty Wang pursed his lips and said, "You come from a rich family, you know a lot, and everything you said is right! Fatty is just a small citizen with a little money, and I don't have as much experience as you!"
Wu Xie put down his teacup, "Fatty, let's make a bet! In a few days, that woman will appear next to us again, and she will attack you."
Fatty Wang took a deep breath, trying to shrink his increasingly round belly. "Why are you betting? I'm going to lose anyway! Why don't you just tell me what you want me to do? Why are you teasing me in such a roundabout way?"
Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi encountered a beauty trap, while Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi encountered a separation trap.
Hei Xia Zi went to his shop for inspection as usual that day. One of the shop assistants came up to him quietly and said, "Hei Ye! I have something I want to tell you."
Hei Xia Zi calmly checked the items on the counter, then used his sunglasses to look at the guy who normally didn't dare to get close to him.
"What discovery?"
The waiter looked at the few people still in the lobby and hesitated to say anything.
Hei Xiazi put down the item he was examining and said, "What's wrong? Is it so hard to say it out loud?"
The waiter still looked around in silence. Hei Xiazi led his men into the inner room. When there was no one around, Hei Xiazi urged again, "You can tell me now!"
"Heiye! A group of police officers came to our store a few days ago. They found a bug in a flower pot near the counter. It must have been there for at least one or two months."
Hei Xiazi looked at the small device that the clerk took out of his pocket and squinted at the bug. "Why would they come to the store to check for bugs for no reason?"
The clerk said: "I have also asked someone I know, and he said that someone reported that the goods in our store were obtained by tomb robbers."
Hei Xia Zi dropped the bug on the ground due to a trembling hand. The guy hurriedly bent over to pick it up, but as soon as he straightened up, a dagger was put to his neck.
"Someone reported it? Everyone in this business knows that I, Hei Xia Zi, never take anything from the tombs when I go underground, and the things in this shop are all handicrafts made by hired people."
The clerk felt the cold dagger against his cheek, like a poisonous snake crawling on his skin. "I don't know! Besides, all the porcelain in our store was made by a famous master in Jingdezhen, and then I brought them back personally!"
Hei Xia Zi seemed to have just remembered, "Ah! I forgot that you are the purchasing agent of the store!"
Hei Xiazi put the dagger back into the leather belt around his waist and asked, "Has anyone come in or out in the past one or two months? Or has anyone moved the two large vases next to the cabinet?"
The waiter looked innocent and said, "Mr. Hei, there are so many people coming and going in our store, how can I remember all of them! And this happened a month or two ago."
Hei Xiazi glanced at the waiter steadily, "Wasn't that vase just opened two months ago? Didn't you notice anything wrong when you signed for it?"
The waiter shook his head and said, "Heiye, I took a leave to go back to my hometown to visit my relatives that day, so I don't know who signed for it! I only know that when I came back, the two vases were already on the counter."
After hearing this, Hei Xia Zi said he understood and told him to go out and work first, and he would handle the matter.
After the guy left, Hei Xia Zi looked at the bug in his hand and called Xie Yuchen directly without caring whether he was working or not.
"Master Huaer! I have something interesting to tell you!"
There was no sound coming from the other end of the phone, only the sound of papers being flipped through. Hei Xiazi was not annoyed, "Someone actually installed a bug in my store. Do you think this person is stupid?"
"Bug? How could someone install a bug in your store that has been losing money?"
Hei Xia Zi threw the bug in his hand and said, "What Hua'er Ye said! If they lose money there, it just means they earn less. Of course, they can't compare to Hua'er Ye's wealth and power!"
"But at least Heiye's shop makes tens of thousands of dollars a year!"
Hei Xia Zi was so proud of himself that he was talking on the phone, "Since you make tens of thousands of dollars a year, why don't you pay the rent? Are you unwilling to pay? Or do you just not want to pay?"
The consequence of Hei Xia Zi's momentary complacency was that Xie Yuchen chased him to ask for the rent he owed for the past few years, "Hei Xia Zi!"
"Here!" Hei Xia Zi was so frightened by the stern voice on the other end of the phone that he stood up straight immediately.
"If you don't hand over the money when you get home today, you'll see what I'll do to you!"
Hei Xia Zi was still thinking about saying a few words to make amends, but Xie Yuchen simply hung up the phone.
Hei Xia Zi looked at the brick-making machine in his hand with tears in his eyes, and he didn't even care about the eavesdropping device.
After Hei Xia Zi left the shop, the shop assistants instantly returned to their lazy state when Hei Xia Zi was not around. They gathered in groups of three or four, chatting and gossiping.
Hei Xia Zi waited and waited in Xie's house for Xie Yuchen but he never showed up. It was already past Xie Yuchen's get off work time, and Xie Yuchen's company didn't have any important projects recently, so logically he shouldn't have to work overtime.
Hei Xia Zi called Butler Xie over, "Uncle Xie, pack a meal. I'll go to Xiao Hua'er's company and deliver it to you!"
While Hei Xia Zi was muttering, he quietly observed the actions of the people around him. Even the trusted housekeeper Xie could not escape his observation.
"This little flower is really something! She has no sense of time once she starts working. Look at what time it is and she hasn't come back yet!"
Hei Xia Zi was saying bad things about Xie Yuchen, but he couldn't stop worrying in his heart, "Uncle Xie, I'm going to bring Xiao Hua food! I guess he has a big project to discuss today, and he forgot to go home for dinner!"
Butler Xie came out of the restaurant carrying a food box, accompanied by an elderly woman. "Uncle Hei, this is Aunt Liao. She has taken care of the young master since he was a child. She went back to her hometown to pay respects to her family some time ago, and she never introduced you to her."
Butler Xie introduced to Hei Xia Zi the old lady who had a head full of silver hair but was full of energy.
"Hello, Aunt Liao!" When Hei Xiazi heard that this was the person who had taken care of Xie Yuchen since he was a child, he looked so respectful that if Wu Xie or Fatty Wang were here, they would have to say "dog leg!"
Hei Xia Zi and Aunt Liao were sitting in the car heading towards Xie Yuchen's company. Aunt Liao took the initiative to ask Hei Xia Zi, "I've always heard about Hei Ye before, but I've never seen him in person. Hearing about him is worse than seeing him in person!"
Hei Xia Zi scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "These are just trivial matters that are not worth mentioning. They are just giving me face!"
Hei Xiazi looked at Aunt Liao's kind face and suddenly changed, "What do you think makes you worthy of Xie Yuchen?"
Hei Xia Zi was stunned by Aunt Liao's question. "Although I did illegal things before, I have turned over a new leaf now! And I am now a regular employee."
Aunt Liao was not moved by Hei Xia Zi's words. "So what if there is a staff position? The Xie Mansion does not lack dispensable staff like you!"
Hei Xiazi once again listed his advantages, "I have a doctorate in anatomy and musicology from a German country!"
Aunt Liao once again denied what Hei Xia Zi said, "Education plays no role in the Xie Mansion! There are many people in the Xie Mansion who are better than you. They were all outstanding graduates from top universities around the world!"
"I am a clean person! I don't have any bad habits! I am loyal in love and will never do anything to let Xie Yuchen down."
Aunt Liao once again dealt Hei Xia Zi a fatal blow, "You have been able to keep yourself clean for such a long time, I'm afraid you have some hidden illness! Aren't having no bad habits and being loyal to your love the most basic conditions for treating your lover?"
Hei Xia Zi was so dejected by Aunt Liao along the way that he remained depressed until he met Xie Yuchen. He had not yet recovered from the blow.
Xie Yuchen glanced at Aunt Liao, "Aunt Liao, what happened to him?"
"He's trying to figure out how he can be worthy of you."
Aunt Liao looked at Xie Yuchen, who had lost a lot of weight since she left. "How did your father and your dad take care of you? You've lost a lot of weight! Your round little face is now very pointed!"
Aunt Liao looked at the child she had raised with heartache, and saw that the child had lost a lot of weight because of these annoying things.
"Aunt Liao! I haven't lost weight! I weighed myself yesterday and I'm two or three pounds heavier than before!"
Xie Yuchen was afraid that Aunt Liao would arrange another fattening meal for him, so he quickly said that he had not lost weight but gained weight instead.
"Aunt Liao, my dad and father are going on a trip! They have already made all the arrangements, and I just need to follow my father's steps. It's not tiring at all."
Xie Yuchen looked at Aunt Liao who was about to curse and stopped her.
Aunt Liao sat on the sofa helplessly, "Just speak for them! Stop worrying about those trivial things on the stage and come and eat!"
Aunt Liao kept talking about the dangers of not eating on time, while preparing meals for Xie Yuchen that she brought from home.
"Eat more! Look at your skinny face!"
Aunt Liao completely forgot what Xie Yuchen had just said. She only thought that her eldest grandson had lost weight and needed to be nourished!
"I remember your father has a hundred-year-old ginseng. I'll go to his house later and make you some chicken soup to nourish your body."
Hei Xia Zi sat aside and looked at Aunt Liao suspiciously, as if he didn't understand why the old woman seemed to be scolding Zhang Qiling. Moreover, even if Xie Yuchen was brought up since he was a child, no nanny would treat her employer like her own grandson, unless!
The moment Xie Yuchen looked up, he saw Hei Xia Zi sitting there silently. "Hei Xia Zi, I haven't introduced you yet! This is Aunt Liao. Her body was refined by Uncle Liu himself. The soul inside is my father's mother - Bai Ma."
After Hei Xia Zi finished listening to Xie Yuchen's introduction, the questions that Aunt Liao had asked him before and the content of her conversation with Xie Yuchen kept playing in his mind like a movie. All his questions were answered at this moment, and everything became clear.
"Then why is her surname Liao?" Hei Xiazi frowned and asked in confusion.
Upon seeing this, Bai Ma personally solved the mystery for Hei Xia Zi, "Baima is dead. The only one alive now is Liao Wenwen." Her voice was calm and slightly sad, as if she was telling a story that had nothing to do with her.
Hei Xia Zi's heart was shocked, and he finally understood what Bai Ma meant. It turned out that she, Bai Ma, had left this world after Zhang Qiling went to the snow mountain to find her and accompanied him for the last three days.
When she woke up again later, although her soul was still the original Bai Ma, her body was no longer the original one. It was a helpless, lonely and helpless orphan after being refined - Liao Wenwen.
Hei Xiazi couldn't help but sigh at the fickleness of fate. He suddenly felt that he envied Zhang Qiling. Although Zhang Qiling had been losing things since he was born, the things he lost would come back to him in another way at another time.
"I really envy him!" Hei Xia Zi's eyes turned red and his voice trembled. "I may never experience this feeling of losing and regaining something in my lifetime..."
