Chapter 21: The Old Mansion Finds a Clue

"You minx! Can you afford to pay for these things? ”

"Compensation? You coerce me in disguise and record my video without my consent, I can still sue you! Listen, yesterday I respected you because you are an elder! From today onwards, everything in your Cheng family has nothing to do with me! ”

The door to the office was slammed shut when Xia Yan left.

Under the gaze of everyone, Xia Yan left Cheng He's company without looking back.

After returning to the villa, Xia Yan packed her luggage.

At this time, although Cheng Yi had a haggard face, he still excitedly took Xia Yan's hand.

"Xia Yan, follow me!"

Without waiting for Xia Yan to react, Cheng Yi took her into the car and drove to her grandmother's old house.

"Come in and have a look!"

Xia Yan couldn't refuse Cheng Yi's enthusiasm and pushed open the door of the old mansion.

Xia Yan found that the house had been renovated, and the moment she entered the door, memories flooded into her heart.

"You don't have to do that."

Xia Yan tried to calm her mood and said lightly.

"I promise you, when you are healed, I will give you everything you want."

"Mr. Yi, you can't give me what I want, and I don't need you to give it to me."

"What do you mean?"

Cheng Yi looked at Xia Yan in some surprise, holding the ring box tightly in his hand.

"I'm leaving in a few days, and I'll give you the letter of resignation as soon as possible."

"Where are you going?"

"My own business shouldn't have much to do with Mr. Yi."

"Xia Yan!"

"If nothing happens, I'll have to go."

Xia Yan put the jade pendant and brooch she was carrying on the table and walked out the door.

Cheng Yi grabbed Xia Yan's hand and said seriously:

"Xia Yan, I like you, I ......"

Before he could say play, Xia Yan let go of his hand.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to waste my time here right now."

"Is it because of Cheng Heng?"

Xia Yan glanced back at him suspiciously, without explanation, and resolutely left the old mansion.

Cheng Yi was stunned in place, letting the cold wind blow on his face, but his eyes couldn't leave Xia Yan's distant back.

The ringing of the phone in his pocket was about to pull him out of this predicament, but he was reluctant to wake up.

"Hey ......"

"Second young master, the master and the lady are here."

Cheng Yi's eyes were hollow, like a marionette, step by step into the villa.

The two people in the villa hurriedly stood up and looked at Cheng Yi's dejected appearance, seemingly bitter, but in fact, he persuaded with right and wrong:

"That little girl surnamed Xia approached you because of money, I looked for her yesterday, hoping that she wouldn't pester you anymore, but she asked me for 20 million! Today I went to talk to her again, but she sat on the ground and raised the price, and said that she would ruin you if she didn't have money, son, I am your biological father, how could I harm you? ”

"She's not that kind of person."

Cheng Yi firmly rejected Cheng He's statement.

The people in the company saw that she was dissatisfied with the price and slammed the door and left! How could I lie to you! ”

Cheng He looked at Cheng Yi's silent appearance, glanced at Chu Ling, turned his head and said bitterly:

"As a father, I don't have any other thoughts, I just want you to be able to take over the burden of Cheng, so that I can have the face to see your mother after I die! I didn't give her a stable and happy life, so that you could have no worries about food and clothing. ”

"Got it, I'll think about it."

Late at night, Xia Yan walked alone in the cold wind, and after recovering from a long illness, she couldn't withstand the cold wind, and finally collapsed outside the rental house not far from her.

When I woke up again, I was already lying in a warm bed.

"Are you awake? Drink the medicine and warm up. ”

"Cheng Heng? Why are you here? ”

"Doing errands around here, I saw a woman falling on the side of the road, thinking about the hero saving the beauty, but it turned out that it was my savior."

Cheng Heng joked intentionally or unintentionally, and Xia Yan also echoed and raised the corners of her mouth.

"Thank you......"

The phone rang, Cheng Heng looked at the call reminder, the corners of Cheng Heng's mouth seemed to be a little unhappy, but it was fleeting.

"I'll go out and answer a call."

"Hmm."

Xu Chuchu on the other end of the phone asked Cheng Heng a little anxiously.

"I'm at Xia Yan's house, something happened to her, do you want to come over?"

Xia Yan's house? Xu Chuchu felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he still agreed:

"I'll be there soon!"

Cheng Heng, who walked into the room, gently stroked the quilt for Xia Yan.

"It's not early, you can go back and rest early, I can do it myself."

"You don't have medical staff now, and you can't take good care of yourself in this room."

"Don't worry, I'm cured."

"Why did you fall after healing?"

Xia Yan can't say anything about him, but she knows that lonely men and widows are in the same room, and the other party is her best friend's boyfriend, so she naturally knows how to avoid suspicion.

"Cheng Heng, I don't want others to misunderstand."

"Chu Chu called me just now, and she said she would come over to take care of you immediately."

"Actually, no, I'm not that delicate."

Xu Chuchu quickly came to the outside of Xia Yan's rental house, and because he had the key, he subconsciously knocked on the door. Seeing Cheng Heng taking care of Xia Yan seriously on the side, it was not a taste in his heart.

Xu Chuchu stepped forward quickly, took the medicine in Cheng Heng's hand, and fed Xia Yan spoonful by spoonful. The medicinal soup had not completely cooled, and the hot Xia Yan frowned. Looking at Xu Chuchu's gloomy face, Xia Yan immediately felt Xu Chuchu's dissatisfaction with herself.

"Go back first, I'm going to rest. Chu Chu, thank you today! ”

Xia Yan deliberately cleared up her relationship with Cheng Heng, did not thank him, and ordered the two of them to be evicted.

Without waiting for Cheng Heng to respond, Xu Chuchu immediately agreed.

"Then you have a good rest, and the two of us won't bother you."

"Uh-huh!"

Xu Chuchu here had a straight face, and was about to be angry with Cheng Heng, when Cheng Heng's phone rang.

"Mr. Heng, Miss He Liuli has returned to China, do you want to see her?"

"Where is she?"

"Arranged by Miss Chu in an apartment."

"Hmm. Give me the address, and I'll be there. ”

Cheng Heng didn't care about Xu Chuchu's displeasure at all, just urged her to get in the car.

"I'm not on it, why are you alone in a room with Xia Yan?"

"It's just a coincidence that I helped her unintentionally."

"Chu Chu, don't make trouble, she saved me."

Xu Chuchu still stood in place, unwilling to get into the car.

Cheng Heng glanced at his hand and said coldly:

"Go back yourself."

Before the words fell, the car drove into the distance.

In the apartment, the slender and sexy woman brought Cheng Heng a glass of red wine and sat elegantly on the side.

"Young Master Evergrande came a little late today, not like you who were punctual before."

"Entangled."

Cheng Heng drank all the red wine in the cup.

"Young Master Evergrande's peach blossom luck is still so good."

Cheng Heng glanced at her warningly, but He Liuli didn't see it, and only added wine to his cup.

"You didn't expose that I came to you back, did you?"

"Of course, when your father made a move, I found a group of people to act according to your instructions, and even if Cheng Yi checked, he could only find out that his father rescued me."

"That's good, you let Chu Ling and Cheng He think you are their people, they will do everything possible to match you and Cheng Yi for the Cheng family, when you get married, the Xia family's old mansion must be taken back for me, I spent a lot of effort, and the result was cheaper than Cheng Yi's kid!"

"Young Master Evergrande, don't worry, I'm an outsider, as long as you can be ruthless, those who are in the way, I will definitely help you clean up one by one, just hope that after the thing is done, Young Master Evergrande don't forget my good."

"When does my Cheng Heng stop talking and don't count?"

"Then I'll be relieved."

"This woman named Xia Yan is the child of the Xia couple, she not only wants to get back to the old mansion, but should also be investigating the truth about her parents being imprisoned back then."

He Liuli took the photo and carefully looked at the woman in the photo, looking pure and lovely.

"If she finds out, wouldn't everything the Chu clan did back then be in vain?"

"Hmph, the most wrong thing my grandfather did that year was to marry my mother to that bastard Cheng He! In any case, Xia Yan can't be allowed to find out the truth of the matter! ”

He Liuli casually fanned the wind with Xia Yan's photo, and asked leisurely:

"I don't know what Young Master Evergrande wants me to do?"

"Whoever received the Chu family's money and did things at the beginning, now everything has to be done, who is splashed with dirty water, how to splash it, he should be let know how to do it."

"You mean Jiang Yun?"

At the mention of Jiang Yun, He Liuli's heart chuckled. Jiang Yun is He Liuli's first love, and they have worked hard together, but now the two are still in a state of broken connection.

"What? Jiang Yun, you can't handle this person? ”

"How so?"

He Liuli showed a charming smile on her face, put her hand lightly on Cheng Heng's shoulder, and continued:

"As long as you Young Master Evergrande orders, Liuli will also do it for Young Master Evergrande."

"In that case, then please Miss He."

Tonight, Xia Yan couldn't sleep for a long time, and what Cheng He said to herself echoed in her mind, and Xia Yan didn't fall asleep until the sun rose. Twenty million, where can I go to get twenty million at once?

Xia Yan opened the locked drawer and picked up the delicate jewelry box, which was the last trace of thought her mother left for herself, once pawned, she would have nothing left......

Xia Yan came to the pawn shop with sleepy eyes, took out the jade bracelet full of green glass in her hand, and handed it to the clerk.

"Miss, wait a minute, I'll go find our boss!"

The upstairs boss hurriedly came downstairs, opened the box and glanced at the bracelet, and then glanced at Xia Yan, and unbelievably took a look at the bracelet on his hand for a long time.

"How much does Miss want to pawn?"

"Twenty million."

"Miss, we pawn the rules of pawning, and it is impossible to pawn things at their original price."

"This bracelet was worth tens of millions more than ten years ago, and after more than ten years, twenty million can't be pawned?"

"Miss, we can only give you 10 million."

10 million, 10 million means only half of it......

"Fifteen million!"

"I can't give it, miss, you pawn sincerely, I'll give you a real price, 12 million, if you can't accept it, then we can only say sorry."

Xia Yan gritted her teeth and nodded helplessly.

After a set of processes, Xia Yan took the money and returned to her grandmother's old house. Looking at everything Cheng Yi had done for himself, he sighed deeply.

The old furniture has either been refurbished or remade in the same style, and everything here is so familiar and intimate.

The gray photo album is full of Xia Yan's memories, from her birth when she was a child to her tenth birthday, every photo is Xia Yan's beautiful past.

At the end of the album, behind the last photo of my grandmother, there seems to be something different.
