Chapter 62 Fu'an Alley

He Sihai drove the black Maybach slowly along Binjiang Avenue.

Outside the car window, ginkgo leaves rustled and fell, shimmering like broken gold in the sunlight. The riverfront mansions on both sides were reflected in the shimmering water. The crunch of the wheels as the leaves crunched past the window, frame by frame.

The car stopped in front of the villa halfway up the mountain. The pregnant fourth wife had been waiting on the steps for a long time. She was wearing a dark green velvet vintage dress, a round South Sea pearl necklace around her neck, and her hair was tied up, a few strands dangling by her ears.

But that smile was too standard, like a carefully painted mask.

[Wow, this is He Sihai's stepmother Zuo Xinxin?]

[He Sihai's stepmother looks younger than He Sihai.]

[Your sister! ]

[At this age, the old man could be someone's grandfather.]

[They're actually playing the "one pear tree overshadows the crabapple tree" trick.]

【Thousand-year-old ginseng stewed with Q|Q candy?】

Shut the f**k up.

He Sihai looked like an eggplant hit by frost.

He tried his best to maintain his dignity, but his heart was broken into eight pieces, and all he could think about was the dark-skinned muscular man with sixteen-pack abs.

Is there such a person in the circle?

He desperately searched his memory—the actors and gym trainers Shi Lu had worked with… which one had big tattoos on his arms? Not to mention eight breasts?

Is she dating someone from the second dimension?

Or does she simply like dark chocolate?

Xia Chi, this grandson...

He Sihai gritted his teeth to cheer himself up.

...He must be talking nonsense again.

Xia Chi was suddenly glared at and was confused.

【hiss……】

[Why would Four Eyes be unhappy now that he lives in a mansion?]

[As soon as he entered the house, he had a strange expression...]

Could it be…?

[Do you have any opinions about stepmother? ]

He Sihai: “…”

This insensitivity...you are so lucky.

[No wonder he didn't even call out for help even though his face was flushed red just now.]

Xia Chi secretly complained, his eyes moving back and forth between He Sihai and the stepmother.

How thick-skinned does one have to be to call a little girl like this "Mom"?

[But what are you afraid of? Even your father dares to marry her?]

The fourth wife just happened to turn around. Her young face, which was only in her early twenties, was combed into a meticulously retro bun, with two jade pendants on her earlobes. Against the backdrop of the huanghuali wood furniture in the room, she actually exuded a sense of harmony.

"This way, please," she said, leaning slightly to the side. "Old He is waiting for you in the study."

The call of "Lao He" sounded natural and familiar, as if he had been calling him that for half his life.

【He's quite good at catering to his tastes. 】

Xia Chi looked at her with a shrewd look on her face.

The first wife died young, the second wife was demoted, and the third wife went into seclusion. This leaves only this stepmother, the only one left standing.

[He Sihai has come at a good time, as this saves him from having to ask each room to recognize their mother, which would have been so awkward.]

He Sihai os.

Thank you, it’s not hard. I’ll give you the chance to be the son of the richest man. It won’t be annoying to recognize as many mothers as you want.

[No wonder Li Shanshan reeks of a Qing Dynasty zombie the moment she appears. She's been stuck in this harem for too long.]

Who would have thought? This fourth wife was an undercover agent.

He Sihai tripped.

What undercover? Corporate espionage?

He Sihai became alert.

[Wow! This palace intrigue is much more exciting than "The Legend of Zhen Huan"!]

Xia Chi was so excitedly playing the 8 o'clock soap opera in his mind that he almost had a handful of melon seeds in his hand.

Li Shanshan first outlasted her original partner, and just as she was gaining ground, a competitor appeared: Bai Yurong, a third-tier actress ten years her junior.

Bai Yurong is beautiful and, thanks to her abundant collagen, she has kept Old He hooked and away from home, leaving Li Shanshan abandoned as a wealthy man's abandoned wife.

Li Shanshan is no pushover either. She personally trained Zuo Xinxin to be her swordsman. She first had the girl pretend to be a little white rabbit to get close to the third wife. Their sisterly love is so deep that they can wear the same pants. Once she understands Bai Yurong's habits...

[So there was the Bai Yurong cheating scandal.]

Bai Yurong cheating scandal?

He Sihai still remembered this incident vividly—about four or five years ago, gossip media published several candid photos. In the photos, Bai Yurong was leaning drunkenly in the arms of a male model, her shoulders half exposed, her lace skirt rolled up to her thighs, and her slender fingers were hooked on the man's belt...

Overnight, this household name actress fell into disgrace. He Rengui was embarrassed and soon ignored her. Bai Yurong almost committed suicide and later disappeared. It was said that she became a monk.

[In fact, it was this Zuo Xinxin who got Bai Yurong drunk, used her fingerprint to decrypt her phone, and invited a male model. Li Shanshan then called in paparazzi to secretly take indecent photos.]

[Tsk tsk tsk…]

[He's shooting himself in the foot. He never anticipated that Bai Yurong would disappear and Zuo Xinxin from the fourth room would take over, making it even more difficult to deal with.]

[It's like Zhen Huan, who was promoted by Ulanara Yixiu, is a hundred times more difficult to deal with than the arrogant and brainless Concubine Hua.]

After the Second House fought the Third House, they started to fight the Fourth House. Each of them had something on the other, so no one dared to act rashly. They watched as she grew stronger and stronger thanks to her son.

[But I heard that Li Shanshan was just driven out of the country and went to Denmark to retire. The fourth wife had the last laugh and got the title of palace fighting champion for free.]

They ate melons along the way and soon arrived at the door of the study. The fourth wife knocked on the door.

"Old He..."

There was no response from inside, so the fourth wife pushed the door open and went in.

When he entered the door, Xia Chi was still muttering.

[But after all the fighting, the third wife didn't even have a child. The second wife's child was also conceived through surrogacy with great difficulty. Old He is no match for her.]

Puzzled, I had to do some calculations again and come to a conclusion.

[Oh, it turns out that Old He is really not doing well.]

In the study, under the calligraphy and painting that read "Great Plans", Old He sat in amazement, glaring fiercely.

Xia Chi sensed that he was in a bad mood and felt awkward for a moment, but still politely greeted him, "Hello, Chairman."

But I couldn't help but complain in my heart.

[Oh no, that's not possible. I played too much when I was young. All the cigarettes and drinks I smoked and drank are now my youth. I'm already weak before I'm forty.]

My arm hurts.

It was He Sihai who was pulling him and winking at him.

[Do you have a vise on your hand? ]

Xia Chi couldn't understand He Sihai's expression, but he could tell that the atmosphere was very strange, so he didn't dare to act rashly. He just stood behind him, eating and grinning.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, the Fourth Wife said to He Guiren, "Old He, the Taoist Master Xia you always talk about is here."

He Guiren looked at Zuo Xinxin meaningfully. He had heard what Xia Chi had just said about the struggle among the wealthy families.

Bai Yurong...was framed?

This Zuo Xinxin!

But considering that she is pregnant, I will not settle the score with her for now.

wrong……

【wrong!】

Xia Chi suddenly exclaimed in his heart.

[The third wife hasn't conceived a child in ten years...]

[How did the four rooms do it? ]

He Shoufu: "!!!"

He Sihai: “…”

Zuo Xinxin: “???”

Why are you all looking at me?

He Guiren silently clenched his back teeth.

"You... go out first."

I'll settle the score with you later.

Zuo Xinxin was confused, but she could feel He Guiren's forbearance. He Guiren had never looked at her like this before.

She left the house angrily.

The door is closed.

Xia Chi's mouth also closed.

[It cannot be said, it cannot be said.]

[This Mr. He has a great reputation, why does he always do things like raising other people's children? ]

[He married four wives and had only two legitimate sons.]

[Huh? How come the grandchildren can't do it either? Each generation is truly inferior to the previous one.]

[After all the calculations, it's just the grandson in Senya's belly.]

Xia Chi's eyes suddenly fell on He Sihai, and his gaze moved downwards, his eyes full of mystery.

【Why can’t you do this??? ! ! ! !】

[Could it be that He Zuyao kicked it? ]

He Sihai's face turned red.

“!!!”

Xia Chi sighed.

[Oh my, this huge fortune will end up in the hands of my eldest nephew alone.]

[As long as Sen Ya doesn't marry into your He family, this vast empire will be hers in the end, hahahaha!]

[My lucky nephew! ! The leader of the reincarnation world.]

"Cough cough cough..." He Guiren felt like there was a motorcycle stuck in his throat.

You can’t do that anymore, give him some face.

He smiled broadly, "Master Xia, nice to meet you. Last time you left in a hurry, I didn't have time to thank you properly."

No matter how unpleasant the words were, He Guiren still knew what was important. This old fox who had been in the business world for half his life had once heard Xia Chi's instructions with his own ears, and under his guidance, he was reunited with his biological son.

Can't be negligent.

Xia Chi felt guilty when he was called "Taoist Master" again and again.

He Sihai recognized his biological father by chance, that was really his destiny. Xia Chi did nothing except make a pie in the sky, but who knew that he would get the credit for nothing and was given a lifetime consumption card of X Club before leaving, which immediately made up for his grievance of being tied up like a dumpling and almost becoming a meal.

"You're welcome, you're welcome, just call me Xiao Xia."

This was the first time Xia Chi met He Guiren. The last time, he was blindfolded and could only hear the voice of He, the richest man. He was a little older, but also full of energy.

Not as sickly as he is now.

[Could it be that the incident of the cat-substitute prince was too much of a blow to him?]

Xia Chi asked him: "Chairman He, what's wrong with you..."

He Guiren sighed, his skinny fingers unconsciously rubbing his knee. "A few years ago, I accidentally fell down the stairs and broke my leg. It's never healed. Recently, it's been raining non-stop, and the pain is so severe that I can't even get out of bed."

He smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I've seen all sorts of experts and professors, but imported medicines don't work."

Xia Chi frowned slightly and took two steps forward without making a sound. He saw wisps of black mist lingering on He Guiren's blanketed legs, moving around his calves like a living thing.

His pupils suddenly shrank - how could this be an ordinary disease?

Something's wrong...

[This black energy...could it be that it's been possessed by some foul thing?]

Dirty things?

He Guiren's heart trembled suddenly!

He Sihai saw this and quickly stepped forward, saying anxiously, "Master, you have great magical powers. Can you take a look at my dad? What's wrong with his leg?"

Xia Chi gave a dry laugh.

"I'm not a doctor."

If you are sick, don't count on me.

【If not~】

Xia Chi said to Mr. He, "Can you show me the wound?"

He Guiren nodded, and He Sihai quickly stepped forward and rolled up his trouser legs, revealing his skinny calves.

On the pale skin, there was a palm-sized dark blue spot, with the edges spreading like a spider web.

Oh my god!

Xia Chi stood there in a daze.

[This pattern, this shape...]

Could this be…?

[The He family's ancestral Green Scale Seal? ? ? ! ! ! !]
