Before Xia Zixuan's words fell, Lu Qinglan frowned.

Listening to what he meant, does Mr. Xia have a grudge against Tingshen?

Why, exactly?

It's just that although she is really puzzled in her heart, she still can't fully trust Xia Zixuan. She looked sideways at Ye Tingshen, only to find that he was staring at Xia Zixuan with interest.

Soon, she heard his cold voice sound.

"Let's go, go to my house."

"Ting Shen ......" Lu Qinglan pulled the corner of his clothes and whispered to him.

Ye Tingshen gently squeezed her hand, and did not deliberately lower his voice: "Don't worry." ”

His words were like a reassuring pill, which instantly made Lu Qinglan's originally hesitant emotions dissipate, and the corners of her mouth were bent, and she nodded at him to indicate herself.

Yes, she should believe him, no matter what Xia Zixuan said is true or false, or for any other purpose, her little uncle can definitely handle it very well.

The moment Xia Zixuan heard Ye Tingshen's words, he was relieved, he knew that Ye Tingshen would not fully believe in himself now, but as long as he could, he would do his best to avoid some things from happening.

Because, he is a friend of Lu Qinglan, he is Mr. Xia, and he is still a grandfather he has respected since he was a child......

With a relaxed and heavy step, with a slightly contradictory heart, he followed into Ye Tingshen's house.

"Sit down." Ye Tingshen pointed to the sofa and turned to pour him a glass of water.

Lu Qinglan wanted to go by herself, but he stopped her, but whenever he was at home, he was reluctant to let her move around.

The water cup was placed in front of Xia Zixuan.

Ye Ting sat opposite him with Lu Qinglan in his arms, not in a hurry to speak.

It was Xia Zixuan, who rubbed his hands a little uncomfortably, moved his lips again, and then quickly looked up at Ye Tingshen, who had no emotions exposed, took a deep breath, and said, "Former Secretary Xia of the Municipal Party Committee, do you remember?" ”

Ye Tingshen was not surprised at all that he would open his mouth from Secretary Xia, bowed his head slightly, and replied: "Remember, he is still from your Xia family." ”

Xia Zixuan raised his head in surprise, how do you know that the words rushed to his throat in an instant, but soon, he swallowed the words. How could he forget that Ye Tingshen is the mayor of a city and the son of the Ye family in City B, if he doesn't know this news, how can he have the current height at a young age.

Thinking about it like this, he was even more relieved in his heart.

Why Secretary Xia was investigated is clear from his investigation, from beginning to end, he thinks that Ye Tingshen has done nothing wrong, Ye Tingshen is worthy of his own responsibility, worthy of his conscience, and to put it mildly, worthy of the people of City A. If you want to blame, you can only blame Secretary Xia himself for going astray.

But this is obviously a truth that many people can understand, but his grandfather just doesn't understand!

No, his grandfather, is not to understand!

The farther he thought about it, the more he immersed himself in his thoughts, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Until—

"Sneer......"

A sneer rang out.

Ye Tingshen raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a smile: "Xia Zixuan, are you planning to let us listen to your sigh?" Or, watching you tangled? After a pause for two seconds, he spoke again, his expression faint, "If you feel embarrassed or entangled, you don't have to force yourself at all." ”

"I didn't!" Xia Zixuan shook his head without thinking, the confusion dissipated, the firmness in his eyes became thicker, he glanced at Ye Tingshen deeply and staggered slightly, "Secretary Xia, it's my grandfather's...... Bastard......"

Bastard?

Lu Qinglan was a little stunned.

It's not that the incident itself surprised her more, whether it is in the novel or in real life, there are always a lot of secrets in the wealthy family, and illegitimate children are not nothing. But she was surprised that Xia Zixuan actually told them about it.

He believes in her and Ye Tingshen so much?

Why?

Puzzled, she subconsciously looked up at Xia Zixuan.

Xia Zixuan didn't dodge, as if he was proving something with his actions. He looked at Ye Tingshen again, and found that he didn't see through him at all, even if the two were so close.

He was still thinking about what to say next, Ye Tingshen's voice without a trace of emotional ups and downs had already sounded, solving his troubles: "You want to tell me that your grandfather is to avenge him?" ”

"Yes." Xia Zixuan nodded weakly.

If it weren't for the fact that Grandpa's attitude was too strange that day, and his heart to deal with Ye Tingshen was too firm, he wouldn't have thought to find out the reason, but he didn't expect the truth to be found out that he would be difficult to accept for a while.

The cousin who has been shouting for more than 20 years, the cousin who seems to love him very much since he was a child, turned out to be the illegitimate son of his grandfather, but for some reason he couldn't recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, but in the end, he was flesh and blood, and he couldn't bear to be separated, so his grandfather sent him to his brother.

Now that Xia Zixuan thinks about it again, many things have answers. Why is his eyes always full of love and pity every time he sees his cousin, why is his grandfather particularly concerned about his cousin's affairs, why is he conniving at his cousin again and again, and why does he hate Ye Tingshen so much...... It's just because the man is his son.

Ye Tingshen listened to him quietly, he never expressed his opinion on other people's family affairs, he believed that what Xia Zixuan said was true, but his intuition told him that what Xia Zixuan was going to say next was probably the real reason.

Mr. Xia wants to deal with him, and he can barely say the past with revenge for his illegitimate child, but if he still wants to deal with the Ye family desperately, it can only show that the Xia family and the Ye family have ulterior grievances.

This is also something he has always wanted to find out, but unfortunately he has found nothing until now, and he didn't expect that Xia Zixuan would tell him in the end.

Ye Tingshen was once again sure that Xia Zixuan was by no means simple.

Quietly retracting his gaze, his eyes darkened, and he directly dominated the topic: "I want to know the main reason." ”

Xia Zixuan raised his head, and only after a moment did he bend the corners of his mouth, as if he was self-deprecating, but also seemed to admire: "Ye Tingshen deserves to be Ye Tingshen." ”

Ye Ting hooked his lips deeply, noncommittal.

His calmness and indifference made Xia Zixuan appreciate it, swallowed his saliva, and he stared at Ye Tingshen word by word and said, "Bastard children are one of the reasons. The feud between my grandfather and your father is the second reason, and your mother, to be exact. ”

Zhuang Mei?

Ye Ting frowned invisibly, he could guess that there was a grudge between Mr. Xia and the old man, but he didn't expect that the matter would involve Zhuang Mei.

But despite the doubts in his heart, he still controlled his emotions very well, and even the frowning just now seemed to be just an illusion.

Regarding his performance, after just a few minutes of getting along, Xia Zixuan was no longer surprised, and after glancing at Lu Qinglan again, he slowly said everything he had found out.

The matter goes back to more than thirty years ago, to be exact, the year before Ye Tingshen was born.

At that time, Mr. Ye was still in the army, and he met Mr. Xia by chance, and the two can be said to be familiar at first sight. At that time, Old Man Ye was still in the capital, and the two would get together to eat when they were free.

When the Chinese New Year was approaching that year, Mr. Xia invited Mr. Ye to his house, and it was that time that Mr. Ye met Zhuang Mei for the first time.

And, it was love at first sight.

Mr. Xia said that it was introduced by others, and it was a blind date, although he didn't say it explicitly, but Mr. Ye could see that he liked Zhuang Mei very much and had the attitude of getting married.

That time at dinner, Old Man Ye was absent-minded, even after going back at night, his mind was full of Zhuang Mei's appearance, and he couldn't wave it away, and he was in his early forties for the first time when he found himself like a hairy boy, and that night, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

Later, he saw Zhuang Mei a few more times, and every time he saw him, he liked it a little more, and in the end, his feelings could no longer be controlled.

Later, Mr. Xia was busy with business and ran all over the world, so he asked Mr. Ye to help take care of Zhuang Mei, and he thought that after the project at hand was completed, he would make his mind clear to Zhuang Mei. It's just that slowly, he has less and less contact with Zhuang Mei, and Zhuang Mei's attitude towards him has become inexplicably cold, and later, Zhuang Mei simply refused to answer his call.

Mr. Xia only thought that the two had not seen each other for too long, and Zhuang Mei was inevitably a little tempered, but he never thought that when he returned to China to see Zhuang Mei with joy, what he got was the news that Zhuang Mei was going to marry his best brother Old Man Ye! And at that time, Zhuang Mei was already a month pregnant!

In those days, getting pregnant out of wedlock was a lot of stress! But the Zhuang Mei in his eyes is full of sweetness all over his body, in addition to happiness.

He didn't understand how things could have turned out like this. He tried to find Zhuang Mei, but Zhuang Mei's coldness made him retreat.

Sad, he found Old Man Ye and beat him up, and put down the cruel words, and the two no longer have a brotherhood!

It wasn't until two years after Zhuang Mei gave birth to Ye Tingshen that Mr. Xia knew that Old Man Ye had used means to make Zhuang Mei's impression of himself drop sharply, and he took advantage of the weakness to enter the ......

Mr. Xia has hated Mr. Ye even more since then.

Coupled with the fact that his illegitimate son was pulled off the horse by Ye Tingshen, the new hatred and the old hatred, how could he spare Ye Tingshen and the Ye family?

It can be said that his revenge has just begun.

When Xia Zixuan finished speaking, Lu Qinglan's hand subconsciously held Ye Tingshen's.

She didn't know how to describe her feelings after hearing this, the only thing she was worried about was Ye Tingshen.

Feeling her worry, Ye Ting turned his head deeply, grabbed her with his big hand, wrapped her tightly, and then smiled slightly to indicate that he was fine.

Xia Zixuan noticed the interaction between the two, and his heart was not heavy, it was true that he was not easy, but there was no doubt about one thing, since he chose to tell them what he had found, he would do his best to organize his grandfather to deal with Ye Tingshen and resolve the grievances between the two families.

Thinking of this, his eyes became more and more firm, he clenched his fists, and he stood up suddenly: "Lu Qinglan, Ye Tingshen!" ”
