Chapter 170: Between Father and Son
Xia Ruxuan felt as if he was being swept into some unquiet storm that was brewing. He now has a stomach full of questions, but because Xia Yunbai didn't speak, he kept it in his heart. There is a bit of messiness in his head, could it be that the Xia clan really has this lot of energy in these aspects?
Xia Ruxuan suddenly felt that at this moment, he really had never understood his father, even for the Xia family at the helm of his father, eight years later, he only knew those that most people were familiar with belonging to the Xia family. He really didn't know anything about these Xia who were exposed to the public.
It wasn't until now that he really thought about it seriously, is a family with such a wide coverage really just having money?
There are many rich groups, why will it be the Xia family that will fall in the end?
These questions have been lingering in Xia Ruxuan's mind since he walked out of Lin Xin's single room, and even made him a little bored.
Xia Yunbai is particularly familiar with this hotel-like building. And after arriving downstairs, Xia Ruxuan realized that he had started to go to the top two floors of this building. There aren't many floors below, which is very different from the hotels that are open to the public.
Xia Ruxuan understood that such a place really didn't need too many rooms, and even these would not be able to be full for a day. Even some rooms are rented all year round, but it is not uncommon for them to stay for many days.
It's not about hotels that make money here, it's the clubs that really make money. And now Xia Ruxuan is wondering where Xiao Dan and Lin Wei have gone. It's just that Xia Yunbai was walking in front, and he couldn't stop and call to ask.
It's just that Lin Wei's kid has money and is not a child, so it shouldn't be possible that there is no problem. It wasn't until he walked to the place similar to a bathing center in this hotel that Xia Ruxuan came back to his senses.
"Tianzi No. 1 bathroom, I will let someone take you there directly." Xia Yunbai turned around and whispered to Xia Ruxuan, and then walked in with the service staff, leaving Xia Ruxuan who was stunned at the door, Xia Yunbai really brought him to take a bath.
Walking into a reading locker room, Xia Ruxuan abandoned all kinds of thoughts in his mind. suddenly remembered that he took out his mobile phone and dialed Lin Wei, but the strange thing was that Lin Wei's mobile phone was actually turned off. It was a message from Lan Junyang on the mobile phone one day, saying that he couldn't get through Lin's micro phone, and now he and Zhang Dashan went back to the dormitory. Let Xia Ruxuan say goodbye to him if he is with Lin Wei, and he will not have to go to the elite to find them.
Xia Ruxuan replied and understood. I also want to know that Lin Wei will go to the elite again today, and his surname is not big. I don't know where I ran with Xiao Dan at this time, Xia Ruxuan didn't think about it anymore, took off his clothes and walked out with a wide and soft bath towel. The special personnel led him to the Tianzi No. 1 bathroom that Xia Yunbai said before.
There are no oversized baths, but separate baths separated from each other. This is understandable on this occasion, as the carpet on the floor has disappeared since entering the bathing center, replaced by a slightly rough, frosted but extremely smooth marble floor. It wasn't until I walked into the Tianzi No. 1 room under the respectful leadership of the service staff that I saw Xia Yunbai, who was leaning lazily on the edge of the pool with his eyes slightly closed.
The whole room was about sixty or seventy square meters, mainly a bath surrounded by granite, emitting steaming heat, which made Xia Ruxuan, who came in, suddenly feel that it was difficult to breathe. Except for this bath, there is a sauna room on the other side.
The walls were carved with depictions that Xia Ruxuan couldn't understand, as if he was describing a story. It's just that Xia Ruxuan doesn't have the energy to take a closer look now, and as soon as he walked into this bathroom, he was a little more relaxed. The exhaustion that has accumulated in the body seems to have started at this time. Xia Ruxuan stepped on the wet but non-slippery ground and sat beside Xia Yunbai.
The water in the bath is just the right temperature so that it doesn't burn or look cold. The moment he sat in, the feeling of moaning comfortably as if every cell in his body was infiltrating made Xia Ruxuan let out a long breath. It seems that all the pressures in life have been liberated at this moment, and I want to sit here so paralyzed and not move.
"Back then, there was a hot spring here, so a bathing center was built around it." Just lying down for a while, Xia Yunbai's voice beside him came into his ears unusually clearly, "When I first came here, this was not called the club area. Just a rich man's retreat. Not only Suhe Province, but also surrounding provinces and cities are famous for many celebrities. With the gathering of people, there was development, and then it developed rapidly for ten years, until now it has become the premier club area in the southeast, and those celebrities you can only see on the Internet and TV are visible here, but they will be abnormally convergent. Because people in higher positions don't appear on the TV screen, but they may be here. ”
"For example...... You? Xia Ruxuan paused, and his words were a little intense. From the beginning to the present, to a certain extent, Xia Ruxuan has been annoyed that he has no home for the Xia family. He suddenly understood that the reason why he used to be so idle was not only his own reason, but also the man who seemed to be able to cover the sky with one hand in Sunan.
I don't know if I have expected Xia Ruxuan's emotions, or if I really don't care. Xia Yunbai's face was still as calm as ever, and he couldn't see the waves, "Everything I did was also left to me by my father." A trace of inexplicable emotion flashed in Xia Yunbai's eyes, and he turned to look at Xia Ruxuan, his tone was very flat, "From now on, slowly I will let you come into contact with these things." ”
"Dad," Xia Ruxuan's calm voice without a trace of waves said indifferently, "Why...... I didn't know anything in the first nineteen years of my life, and what I knew was something that everybody knew? ”
Xia Ruxuan suddenly had a burst of negative emotions in his heart, in fact, he didn't need to ask about these things at all, and he already knew the answers. That's the answer he paid for eight full years of decadence and negativity.
And at this moment, he would open his mouth to ask, but he felt a little unwilling, but he felt that everything he knew now was different from what he imagined. He would rather Xia Yunbai really be like he remembered, just a slightly ordinary person at the helm of a large group, a man who didn't know how to discipline his son.
But obviously not, everything about Xia Yunbai is so outstanding, the more outstanding he is, the more it makes Xia Ruxuan's heart cold. Because he hid himself so deeply, so deep that he didn't even know anything about himself, the person closest to Xia Yunbai.
It seemed that he didn't expect Xia Ruxuan to have such a problem, Xia Yunbai was obviously stunned for a moment, and was silent for a few seconds, "You are my Xia Yunbai's son, how can you be mediocre." When a great task is sent from heaven, he must first suffer his heart and starve his body. Phoenix, even in the chicken coop, can also be nirvana. I'm just trying to see what kind of person you can become. ”
Listening to Xia Yunbai's indifferent words, he suddenly felt a little disgusted, "That's it." He turned his head to look at Xia Yunbai, his brows gradually calming and cold, "So what, I've been mediocre for nineteen years, even if I have been silent like before, silent until death." You're going to have such a calm mind all the time, right? ”
When he said this, a wave of pathos burst out from Xia Ruxuan's calm heart, as if it was flowing slowly in the blood, a low but high-pitched sorrow. As if he was about to break out of the ground, he jumped out of his body - he suddenly felt a little disappointed in this father, this was by no means the father he remembered as he remembered. In Xia Ruxuan's former memory, he was so tall and majestic, like a god who existed in his faith. The Xia Yunbai, who he tried his best to be gratified, turned out to be the most real appearance as now, with a calm, cold, and indifferent mentality, standing on a real high position and looking down on himself, watching himself struggle painfully in life, and he didn't even think about pulling himself.
It turned out that even if he was reborn, the answer he would get could only be this. Xia Ruxuan didn't say much, he looked at Xia Yunbai calmly, and there was no dodging in his expression. That handsome man with a majestic weapon was as sharp as a sword.
However, in the end, this vision did not mean anything, and in this small but delicate bathroom, only silence and steaming were left.
"You've grown up." After a long time, Xia Yunbai finally spoke, and at the moment of saying this, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes, Xia Ruxuan's distinct outline, and that somewhat sharp temperament, all showed that this former child has now grown into a real man. "You're a real man now, it's just that you're not hard enough on yourself."
Xia Ruxuan frowned slightly.
"Have you ever thought that if you don't know all this, you can go your own way. And when you choose to come to me, you never have a chance to quit? Xia Yunbai smiled, and there was an indescribable taste in his smile. To tell you the truth, the place covered by this Xia clan is much bigger than you imagined, and even bigger than I imagined. I don't dare to stop myself, just stop, soon, it won't be long before we fall apart. I just hope you don't come in too early, and the later you touch what I've touched, the better – you don't even have to be involved in it all. But now I realize that I seem to be wrong...... You can walk in here by mistake one day. How surprised I was when I found out that you had come here with Summer.
Forget it, today we're just relaxing. I'll go out and have someone show you around here. It's just that you have your own business, isn't it good that soon you will be ready to go to the United States with the summer. ”
"With Summer?" Xia Ruxuan paused, turned his head, and said softly.
"It just so happened that Lin Xin wanted him to go to Las Vegas to do something. You also have a care for together. You know, there are too many battles in my position, and I don't mean to hide anything from you, but you don't have to participate in this position. You're still young, and I'll tell you when I need you to know. ”
Xia Ruxuan glanced at Xia Yunbai, but he felt that he didn't know which was right and which was wrong, and finally sighed in his heart, "A word is a certainty." ”
