Chapter 101: Meet the Head of the House
"Don't you want to ask your dear uncle why he did that to you in the first place?" Chu Ci's tone is very flat, but the content is quite attractive.
Charlene blinked, turned her head to look at Chu Ci in disbelief, "Are you serious?" โ
Chu:......
Hasn't he ever been serious!
Although the most essential part of the underground ore has been taken away by Chu Ci, the remaining part is naturally impossible to let go, after all, every bit of resources is precious in the Federation.
Therefore, after the arrival of local army support personnel in Panyu City, the underground mining work naturally continued.
It's just that the real essence that has been taken away has been quietly sent to the headquarters of the federal army by Chu Ci.
And before the Federation can send the personnel to officially take over the mining of this latest vein and the personnel who take over the follow-up of these things, Chu Ci and his subordinates still need to stay in Panyu City for a while.
Therefore, taking Xia Lin to Xia Zhentian was put on his agenda.
Charlene tilted her head and thought for a moment, "You've always been thinking about it. โ
If she remembered correctly, before she was sent to the research center, Chu Ci mentioned it once, saying that the affairs of the Xia family were not simple, and asked her if she wanted to see Xia Zhentian.
Chu Ci looked at Xia Lin with a light smile, and didn't explain, just waiting for her response.
"It's not impossible for me to go see him." Tilting her head, Charlene seemed to think for a moment, "But, are you sure he'll be happy to see me?" โ
After all, the Xia family should be wolf bรจi now, right? Even if Xia Zhentian wouldn't be angry with her, it seemed that the relationship between her and Xia Zhentian would not be happy for a long time, right?
Thinking of the pile of things in her space that she didn't know how valuable she was, Charlene was full of uncertain thoughts.
Chu Ci nodded, "Naturally, as for the matter between you, when you see him, you will naturally believe it, and I will accompany you left and right, right?" โ
He is still very interested in the affairs of the Xia family.
It is said that the first person to discover the abnormal fluctuations in this place was Charlene's parents. Unfortunately, before the couple could find out the truth, they were killed.
And after that, the people involved in that incident all disappeared or died one after another, and the only person who could know the secret of the year was Xia Zhentian.
It's a pity that the other party has always been reluctant to speak.
Take Xia Lin to meet Xia Zhentian, maybe it will be a breakthrough.
"Alright then!" It's okay to think you're here left and right. In other words, her role seems to have always been dispensable, and Charlene thinks it's better to find something for herself.
After all, Xia Zhentian is the head of the Xia family and the cousin of the original owner's father!
"I'd like to talk to Linlin alone." Seeing Xia Lin, who was brought by Chu Ci, Xia Zhentian was silent for a while before speaking, his tone was very calm, with a certain relief and calmness.
Or, is there a relief that the hard work has not been in vain?
Charlene thought uncertainly.
Still, is she going to be alone with the other person?
His eyes roamed over Xia Zhentian, and Xia Lin hesitated.
At most, she is greedy for some property that does not belong to Xia Zhentian, and the other party should not kill people, ahh
If you're too stingy, you'll die~
Chu Ci looked at Xia Lin, and after getting a positive response from the other party, he waited for someone to retreat, leaving space for the two of them.
"Linlin, do you hate me?" The two were silent with each other for a while, and Xia Zhentian sighed slightly and asked.
Looking at the strange and familiar head of the Xia family in front of her, Xia Lin didn't know what expression to put on to face it.
Hate?
If it's the original owner, it should be hated, right? After all, if it weren't for Xia Zhentian, she wouldn't have become a wasted person with all her meridians, let alone die unexplained.
But for her now......
There seems to be nothing to hate.
This kind of overly intense love has been lost by Charlene as early as the outbreak of the end times.
And, although it can almost be said that she has lost her wood ability, she can be reborn into this world, enjoy the sun and warmth, and enjoy a life where she does not have to be terrified all the time, Charlene is already very satisfied.
Not to mention, her space also followed.
Strictly speaking, she may be grateful to Xia Zhentian. After all, if it weren't for that accident, maybe she wouldn't be where she is now.
She didn't pretentiously say that she hated the other party and caused her to lose her abilities......
"Hehe......" Seeing Xia Lin's complicated expression, Xia Zhentian chuckled self-deprecatingly. You don't have to be embarrassed, I know you hate me in your heart. It's okay......"
Charlene blinked, what does this sentence mean?
What if her IQ is not enough? Seek help! It's urgent!
"But, Uncle, I have something to say to you now. No matter how much resentment and hatred you have in your heart, I hope you can listen carefully to what I have to say, these words ......"
Xia Zhentian's tone was a little low and sad, which made Xia Lin a little incomprehensible.
"This is the biggest secret of our Xia family, and it is also related to the secret of you......"
Charlene continued to blink, inexplicably a little uneasy, "That...... Can I choose not to listen to it? โ
Is she really afraid of being caught up in any more trouble?
Especially this kind of family secret, blood feud or something......
As soon as I heard the beginning, I knew that it would definitely not be a pleasant good thing.
was stunned for a moment by Xia Lin's interruption that did not play cards according to the rules at all, Xia Zhentian couldn't cry or laugh, "What are you afraid of?" Can I still hurt you? โ
"Then who knows?" Charlene muttered quietly. "What if you make up a story of blood feud for me, and then crown it in the name of family righteousness, and I have to avenge the family?"
Xia Zhentian's face was slightly distorted, "Do you still care about the family's carelessness?" โ
Who the hell was that bastard who ran away from marriage in the first place!
Charlene pouted, "I don't care much about ......"
It's not her family anyway, so what does it have to do with her?
"In that case, what are you afraid of?" Xia Zhentian asked rhetorically.
"You are really the head of the Xia family, not someone else's fake?" Xia Lin raised her head slightly and looked at Xia Zhentian, "Why has it changed so much?" โ
She remembered that the head of the Xia family seemed to have always been very ...... to her The one who hides the knife in his smile, the one in front of him who smiles kindly and kindly, looks at the elders of his juniors with tolerance and satisfaction, this style of painting is a little wrong, right?
Xia Zhentian only felt that he couldn't cry or laugh. How did he not know that his niece had lost her memory once, and even her personality had become like this......
Make people ...... Make people ......
Dumbfounding?
It's rare that someone like Major General Chu can tolerate this girl for so long!
"Shut up and give me a good listen!"
"Oh~" Hearing Xia Zhentian's harsh words, Xia Lin subconsciously sat down obediently.
Xia Zhentian: ......
Should he be glad that Yu Wei is still here?
The Xia family's genetic ability is very special, especially in this world, or only a few people still remember the appearance of this ability.
This ability allows the Adept to merge perfectly with any Anomaly gene, or even strengthen the Anomaly's Gene. It can be said that with such an ability, even if the opponent's ability gene is poor, he can become a strong person.
But only if it comes at the cost of devouring an ability.
If the fusion is not successful, it will suppress another ability, so most of the Xia family's descendants are not good.
Even because many people inherited an ability, they suffered the fate of being devoured by the ability and became ordinary people......
Of course, not everyone will inherit this ability.
After all, there was not only one ability of the original ancestors of the Xia family back then, and the abilities of the wives married by the later ancestors were also different. Although it is not too varied, at least the core children of the family who are aware of the particularity of their family's abilities will try their best to find a woman to marry that is different from the family's mainstream ability.
For the inheritance of the family and the fate of future generations.
After the Xia family moved to Panyu City, in order to better hide the characteristics of the family's abilities, each generation of outstanding children will be raised separately after birth, in case they are obviously brothers, but their abilities are completely different.
Charlene and Xia Mingyu are among the very few successful ones. Of course, the same is true for Xia Zhentian and Xia Zhenyu of the previous generation.
However, the difference is that Charlene's wood-based ability is more powerful, so she becomes the one who stays, while Xia Mingyu is devoured by the wood-based ability.
It is precisely because of this that the identities of the two have been perfectly disguised. Even Yu Wanli, although she doubted Xia Mingyu's identity, but because the other party's abilities were different from Xia Lin and Xia Zhentian, she didn't pursue it.
It can be said that in order to hide the family's secrets, the Xia family has done it to the extreme.
Except for Xia Zhentian and Xia Zhenyu, who had died, no one knew that Xia Mingyu, who had been thrown into the army with a very high mortality rate by Xia Zhentian who seemed to care about life and death early, was what he wanted, the real next heir of the Xia family.
No one knows that Xia Zhentian and Xia Zhenyu are brothers, and Xia Lin and Xia Mingyu are brothers and sisters.
Xia Zhentian never intended to let the Xia family fall into anyone's hands. Even if it is named in the name of the family, it can only be temporary.
He was confident that his gifted nephew would not let him down.
As for Charlene......
Xia Zhentian's expression was a little strange, but in the end he smiled bitterly, "You just treat it as an uncle, I don't know about you." โ
Xia Lin stared at Xia Zhentian for a long time, as if she was not sure of the other party's sincerity.
Being stared at like this, Xia Zhentian was inexplicably embarrassed. "The ......"
"These are the properties I have accumulated over the years, they belong to my private family, and they have nothing to do with the family......" Handing the space capsule in his hand to Xia Lin, Xia Zhentian groaned slightly, "You probably won't come back in the future, but no matter what, Uncle always wants you to remember that you are always our Xia family." Remember our ancestors...... "R1152."
