Chapter 279. Shangxia House [2/3]
Li Shuwei was able to get engaged to Xia Zi so easily, except for the Li family, who couldn't resist him, Xia Xiwei had almost no obstacles and difficulties, and helped them a lot in the end.
Therefore, Li Shuwei has always felt that the people of the Xia family should be very supportive of them in doing things.
But when something happened to Xia Zi, he ran around, but after waiting for so many days, he didn't wait for the Xia family's shot, and he found that there were probably many things that were quite different from what he thought at the beginning.
Did Xia Xiwei really let his daughter get engaged to him? Or do you want to use them as a shield, do some other considerations, or even use their Li family's people as a springboard?
But none of this matters.
Because of the loss that Li Shuwei swallowed in order to help the Xia family, he can accept that his vision of people is not good, but he will never unilaterally help them carry the black pot.
"Ahh Young Master Li is here. "The Xia family was ambitious in the early years, although it was mainly developed in Zhongjing, but it also held on to the relationship, so the location of the house in the capital is still very good, it is also an old house, the population is quite prosperous, everyone lives together, lives next to each other, and the rules are quite complicated.
Ms. Meng had complained to Xia Yuquan before, saying that the family's taste and standard were not very high, but they had a lot more rules in the family than in large families. From top to bottom, they are all confused, making messy money, if it weren't for the reluctance of the craft, I'm afraid they would have been uprooted long ago.
However, this is the case, compared to Xia Yuquan's status, the status of the Xia family is still the Li family, and they still have the confidence to talk about it.
"Aunt May." Li Shuwei will not be angry with the people outside, even if he is so angry that he wants to kill people now, but he is still very polite to the housekeeper who is quite old, full of silver hair, and is said to have served in the Xia family for more than 30 years, "I'm looking for Uncle Xia." ”
"Hey, yes, yes." Although Aunt Mei didn't know what was going on outside, she took care of the Xia family's life quite seriously every day, and even the head of the Xia family and her subordinates came and went, and there might be plans for a new hostess halfway, and when the hostess was still very unhappy with herself, Xia Xiwei didn't think about replacing her.
It can be seen that Aunt Mei is still quite conscientious and conscientious in doing things, and she can still make the entire Xia family quite neat and fulfilling without knowing the actual situation.
Although she was already very keenly aware of Li Shuwei's dissatisfaction, and could even be said to be angry, Aunt Mei was not angry, but kindly led the person to the door of the study upstairs, knocked on the door, and after getting Xia Xiwei's consent, she also told Li Shuwei.
"Aunt Mei still remembers that Young Master Li likes to eat wine-stuffed balls, and it just so happens that she is doing well today, so I'll send you two bowls later."
Looking at Aunt Mei's smiling round eyes, no matter how angry Li Shuwei is, it is impossible for him to really be unhappy with an old man. So he could only nod his head with a stiff face, and then push the door open.
Inside the door, it is very different from the simple and luxurious Xia family style outside. Quite simple, the interior of the room can be described as lackluster.
The bookshelf walls on both sides of the room are full of books.
In the center of the room is a four-meter-long, one-meter-wide desk that doubles as a work desk, surrounded by two desks, a sofa bed, and a bench for entertaining guests.
Beyond that, there are thick crimson curtains that drag all the way from the ceiling to the floor.
The overall style is quite dull and heavy, with a faint smell of blood, which makes people quite uncomfortable.
Especially Li Shuwei, no matter how many times he came to this place, every time he came in, he would like to leave early.
And after leaving, I will have nightmares for days.
Obviously, Xia Xiwei is not a terrible character, he is even ordinary, and he seems quite boring, at most, he is more gloomy when he speaks, which makes people feel quite oppressive.
However, Li Shuwei can know that Xia Zi is quite afraid of his father. There wasn't even much awe between words and deeds, but rather fear.
Obviously, Li Shuwei also knew that Xia Zi was not abused by Xia Xiwei, but he also knew very well that Xia Xiwei had used other ways to make Xia Zi's fear and obedience to him to a level that outsiders could not imagine at all.
The man wore a rather close-fitting three-piece suit, buttoned up to the top of the shirt, and his gray hair was fixed to the back of his head with hair oil, revealing a somewhat rugged forehead.
He wears a pair of rimless glasses on his face, with a nose clip in the middle, which sets off a pair of seemingly harmless eyes.
However, Li Shuwei knows very well that Xia Xiwei's temper is not at all different from his rather simple and wooden appearance. It's also completely different from the ascetic suit he wears, or the image of how he treats people outside.
The other party has a considerable degree of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and is quite clean, especially in choosing his own 'prey' and 'chess pieces', and has a special hobby.
Xia Zi estimated that she had been trained by the other party for a long time before she was temporarily recognized by the other party
However, I didn't expect that I had spent so much time on training, and what I got in the end would be such a result.
"You're here?" Xia Xiwei seemed quite calm about Li Shuwei's arrival, and didn't even seem to take the next possible conversation seriously.
However, whether it was Li Shuwei or the bodyguard behind him, subconsciously, there was a creepy feeling.
It's not that they noticed something wrong, but that they subconsciously made defensive moves.
"Uncle Xia, I need you to give me an explanation for this time." Although he was suppressed by Xia Xiwei at the beginning, Li Shuwei knew very well what the purpose of his coming here today was, so he was not deterred by the other party, but breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, "You withdrew the share of the Li family's investment without authorization, and you didn't even say that the refund was given to us, so it's a bit unauthentic, right?" ”
There is a question about Xia Zi, Li Shuwei has no interest in asking. This is mainly due to the fact that in fact, the two families have reached this point, and it is difficult to say whether they want to cooperate or not, so the marriage contract between him and Xia Zi is actually unnecessary.
What's more, Li Shuwei also has his own pride. Xia Xiwei would actually do this, which means that it is estimated that in the minds of the other party, there are no good conditions that can make the other party have the value of continuing to cooperate.
Since this is the case, it is better for everyone to break up early, so that it will be inconvenient to do whatever you do next.
"With so many questions from you, which one should I answer first?" Xia Xiwei looked at Li Shuwei's somewhat frizzy appearance, but he was still splitting the thread, looking at his meticulous movements, it is estimated that Li Shuwei said so many words just now, and he was not affected at all, and he could still prepare for embroidery.
"I need a clear answer." When Li Shuwei saw the other party's situation, he immediately had a hunch, estimating that he would not be able to get what he wanted in the Xia family today, so he said in a somewhat stiff tone, "Xia Zi caused trouble by himself, but you blamed the problem on me, and you still want the Li family to pay the price, I think this is too much." ”
