So Fragrant [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 78
Chu Xia lowered her hands, held an umbrella, walked quietly beside Li Cheng, and always helped Li Cheng pay attention to her feet, but after a while, Chu Xia realized that Li Cheng didn’t seem to need her help at all. He knew better than Chu Xia where there were obstacles in this garden and which roads were easier to walk.
The raindrops fell on the umbrella, tick-tock-tick, and Chu Xia accompanied Li Chengyi until he walked to the door. The housekeeper was holding an umbrella and was about to come out to look for someone. Seeing the two of them coming back together, he was obviously stunned. After a while, he asked Li Cheng, “When did Mr. go out?”
“Just now.” Li Cheng replied.
Chu Xia felt that Li Cheng might have been in the garden for a long time, but he didn’t need to dismantle Li Cheng.
The housekeeper took the umbrella in Chu Xia’s hand, gave his own umbrella to Chu Xia, and accompanied Li Cheng into the door. Li Cheng’s brows were slightly wrinkled, and he walked into the villa as if nothing had happened.
Chu Xia didn’t go in with them. He stood in the rain with an umbrella for a while. In the memory of the original owner, Li Chengyi had always been a very upright, fair, and a bit old-fashioned, and had nothing to do with the villain. Similarities, I do not know why the newspaper suddenly appeared later.
Chu Xia stood in the rain for a while, and felt a little cold, so she also turned around and entered the villa. Li Cheng had already gone upstairs, and the housekeeper saw Chu Xia coming back and came over and asked him, “Why did you meet with him just now? Are you out together, sir?”
Chu Xia answered truthfully, “I saw it was raining outside, and my husband was standing alone in the garden, worried that he would get sick from the rain, so he went out to hold an umbrella for him.”
The housekeeper nodded, thinking that Young Master Qiu had finally matured.
Chu Xia went back to her room and packed up all the painting tools that were left unpacked on the windowsill. She was about to go to the bathroom to take a shower when she received a call from the original owner’s friend. The person on the other end said to Chu Xia, “Young Master Qiu, come out and play.”
The people who can play with the original owner are not the illegitimate children in the rich family, or some distant relatives. Those who grew up in the rich family don’t bother to hang out with the original owner. They know that he is not Li, not from the Li family. , there is no use in befriending him.
“I don’t want to play anymore,” Chu Xia sighed, leaning on the pillow behind him, and said, “I haven’t been in good health recently, so I’m recuperating at home.”
“Not in good health? What’s wrong?” The man asked Chu Xia in surprise, and asked Chu Xia teasingly, “Could it be that you had too much fun that night and ruined your kidneys?”
Chu Xia: “…”
The kidneys are not damaged, but there is a little bit of damage in many places except the kidneys. He doesn’t dare to soak them all in water when he takes a bath, so he can only soak them in water with a towel and wipe them casually.
“Then what kind of injury are you suffering now?” a friend asked Chu Xia on the phone.
There is no need to lie about this matter. After all, it is not a trivial matter for the original owner to be beaten so badly. It is estimated that after a while, anyone with a little gossip will know about this matter. Chu Xia sighed and said: “Being by someone Got a beat.”
“I was beaten? Who was beaten? Who dares to beat our Young Master Qiu?”
“Don’t ask, do you have anything else? I’ll hang up if it’s okay.”
“Wait, wait a second? Come on, there’s something else, something else—”
Chu Xia took back the finger that was about to hang up the phone, and asked the friend, “What else?”
A friend said, “I heard that Mr. Li is going to marry Miss Bai.”
It turned out that the person he wanted to marry was Bai.
“Miss of the Bai family?” Chu Xia rummaged through the original owner’s memory. The only one in the Bai family that had some friendship with the Li family was the one in City G. It seemed that the Bai family had three daughters altogether. Chu Xia asked, “Which one? “
“The eldest lady of the Bai family, Bai Jiaqi.”
Chu Xia snorted, the original owner should have met the eldest Miss Bai a few years ago, but it has been too long, and the memory of the Miss Bai is not very clear, and I can hardly remember it. She looks like her, but he met Mrs. Bai last year. The lady is over fifty years old, but she can still see that she is a beauty. Her daughter will definitely not be ugly.
Although the family background of the Bai family is a little worse than that of the Li family, it is nothing, and the identity of Li Cheng is comparable. Chu Xia nodded and commented on the matter, “That’s not bad.”
“Aren’t you worried at all?” the friend asked over the phone.
Chu Xia felt that the other person asked this question a bit inexplicably. He was neither Li Cheng’s son nor Li Cheng’s father. Whether he got married or not seemed to have nothing to do with him, so Chu Xia replied: “I’m worried. what?”
Yeah, what is he worried about? The friend scratched his head. He vaguely remembered that Qiu Chi had resisted the marriage of Mr. Li Li before.
“But didn’t you say before…” The friend scratched his head and said to Chu Xia, “Mr. Li might hand over the Li family to you in the future?”
Chu Xia snorted, the original owner could even blow out this kind of arrogance, and what’s even more stupid is that some people really believe it!
The original owner and Mr. Li had no relationship and no reason, and Mr. Li was only willing to adopt him out of the face of his parents, even if Mr. Li was really crazy in the future and wanted to share a little bit of the shares to the original owner, the Li family’s None of those people will agree, and most of them will try their best to get that share out in the future.
“I was joking.” Chu Xia said helplessly.
The friend sighed on the phone and said, “Hey, I’m still waiting for you, Mr. Qiu, to take me with you after your release.”
Chu Xia was a little speechless for a while, but if the original owner’s brain wanted to develop, it was estimated that he would have to wait until the next life.
After Chu Xia hung up the phone with this slightly stupid friend, he remembered something else and asked the system, “By the way, who is the protagonist of this world?”
Every protagonist in the world seems to have a pretty good relationship with the villain, but in this world, the one who has a little closer relationship with Mr. Li may be the butler next to him.
The system replied, “The protagonist is Lin Zhiyao.”
Chu Xia held her chin and thought for a while, then said to the system, “Why do I think this name sounds familiar.”
The system hummed and replied, “It’s the name of the brother of the junior that Qiu Chi wanted to get drunk that day.”
Chu Xia: “…”
very good.
He came up to offend the protagonist.
Small things, you should get used to it, right?
He continued to ask the system, “Does he have anything to do with Li Cheng?”
“Mr. Li’s current marriage partner, Miss Bai Jiaqi Bai, is Lin Zhiyao’s cousin.”
Chu Xia took a breath and said to the system, “Why do I sometimes feel like I’m more like a villain when I get this role?”
The system was silent for a while, and said to Chu Xia, “It may be your illusion.”
Chu Xia sneered, that is, the characters he got died very early every time, otherwise, even if the big villain couldn’t do it, it would be absolutely fine to be a minor villain.
In fact, it’s quite like the villain now, the kind that can’t do anything but like the protagonist.
Chu Xia went into the bathroom, wiped herself with a wet towel, and then stood in front of the mirror and looked at the injuries on her body.
Thinking that he still owes forty bills, Chu Xia pushed open the bathroom door dejectedly, went back to the bedroom, threw himself on the bed, and started daydreaming. Will Li Cheng suddenly lose his memory one day and forget about the family law.
This probability is probably not too different from the probability that he can hit a ghost during the day.
Chu Xia fell into a drowsy sleep. In his dream, he seemed to have returned to the system center. I don’t know what happened in the system center. It was a mess. Chu Xia looked up at the sky, someone gently hugged him from behind, pressed it against his ear, and whispered to him, “I’m back.”
When he woke up again, it was already the morning of the second day. Chu Xia was sitting in the dining room and didn’t see Li Cheng come down. When the other juniors of the Li family saw him, they immediately ridiculed him with yin and yang, and then they I was surprised to find that Qiu Chi, who used to be sharp and sharp in the past, didn’t say anything back today.
Is it really being beaten? Really?
Chu Xia ate breakfast silently. He now lives in the old house of the Li family. There are not many Li family members living here. Most of them don’t want to be restrained. After moving out, they will only come back during Chinese New Year and festivals. The rest are not very capable, or they want to please Li Cheng, thinking of waiting for Li Cheng to get old? It can be seen from their current situation. On the points, more points of their own shares.
And the original owner didn’t want to stay in the old house of the Li family, but he didn’t graduate from college and spent all the money of the Li family, and secondly, he didn’t have parents, so naturally he could only live here.
After Chu Xia finished eating, she returned to her room and continued to hone her painting skills.
He originally didn’t care where Li Cheng went, but after that dream last night, Chu Xia felt a strange feeling in his heart. He painted for a while, put down the brush, and stared out the window in a daze.
The friend who called him yesterday called again today and asked Chu Xia as soon as he opened his mouth, “Guess who I saw?”
“Who?” Chu Xia asked.
“I followed my brother to the banquet hosted by Miss Bai today. I saw Mr. Li at the banquet. Now Mr. Li and Miss Bai went to the garden together, and they haven’t come out yet.”
Chu Xia thought about it, it’s normal for young men and women to cultivate their relationship before talking about marriage, there is no need to make such a fuss, he said to the friend on the other end of the phone: “That’s it, nothing else to hang up. “
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone. The friend listened to the beeps coming from the phone. The friend looked at his cell phone strangely. He didn’t expect Chu Xia to have such a dull response. In the past, when he heard that Mr. Li was dating other women, he must have immediately yelled at him.
Chu Xia threw the phone away, picked up the paintbrush, and continued her studies. Compared with Li Cheng’s current emotional situation, Chu Xia felt that it was more important to have forty boards.
Bai Jiaqi is twenty-seven years old this year, and she is indeed at the age to get married. She doesn’t like the young people of her age. Although Mr. Li is blind, he is six or seven years older than her, but compared to those The Maotou boy came, and Bai Jiaqi liked it even more. She liked Li Cheng’s old mature and stable temperament.
Her mother did not approve of her choice, but her father was happy to see it succeed. If the Bai family could really get on the big boat of the Li family, it would be of great help to the development of the Bai family.
And let’s be honest, that kind of disability isn’t much of a problem for the rich at all.
Bai Jiaqi is sitting opposite Li Cheng. Although she knows that Li Cheng has no feelings for her, she still has illusions about her future marriage. She is 27 years old this year and has never tasted love. The taste, she called softly: “Mr. Li.”
Li Cheng nodded and replied rather coldly, “Miss Bai.”
Bai Jiaqi and Li Cheng did not see each other very often, but Li Cheng had this attitude every time. Bai Jiaqi felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She suppressed the small emotions in her heart, “Mr. Do you have to get home?”
Li Cheng didn’t answer, but instead asked, “Miss Bai invited me here? Did you want to talk to me about this?”
A flash of embarrassment flashed on Bai Jiaqi’s face, now that her marriage to Li Cheng has not been finalized, it is indeed rude to ask Li Cheng such a question, “Of course not, I just heard my dad talk about wanting Y city. The place, just ask casually.”
Li Cheng didn’t speak, and the expression on Bai Jiaqi’s face became even more embarrassing. She was suddenly a little fortunate that the person in front of her could no longer be seen. Bai Jiaqi poured two glasses of wine, handed one of them to Li Cheng’s hand, and sighed softly. In one breath, he said to him, “If Mr. Li has time, he can get together with the younger generation at home and talk.”
Li Cheng raised his eyes and looked in Bai Jiaqi’s direction. Bai Jiaqi knew in his heart that this person could not be seen, but at this moment his body also stiffened, Li Cheng said slowly: “Miss Bai seems to be saying something? what.”
“It’s nothing, I just heard some gossip,” Bai Jiaqi said with a smile.
Li Cheng turned the wine glass in his hand, and Bai Jiaqi continued: “Young Master Qiu has gone too far this time. My brother had a fever after being brought home. Fortunately, he was alert, if…” Bai Jiaqi It’s hard to say the rest, just sighed again.
Li Cheng said, “I will let Qiu Chi go to Lin’s house to apologize in person.”
Bai Jiaqi frowned slightly. She wanted more than this. She said to Li Cheng, “I also heard that Mr. Li plans to hand over the Li family to Young Master Qiu.”
Li Cheng’s face was cold: “Does Miss Bai believe this?”
Bai Jiaqi smiled without saying a word. She was really curious about the relationship between Qiu Chi and Li Cheng. Why did Li Cheng want to take him back to the Li family and raise him like a child of the Li family? If it wasn’t for Qiu Chi and Li Cheng There is no similarity between Li Cheng, I am afraid many people will suspect that this is actually Li Cheng’s illegitimate son.
What was the relationship between Qiu Chi’s mother and Li Cheng back then?
It was nearly eleven o’clock in the evening when the banquet was over. The housekeeper helped Li Cheng back to the old house of Li’s family. He drank some wine and got slightly drunk. Chu Xia came out of the room yawning, and he played games. I’ve been fighting until now, and I was a little hungry, so I came out and wanted to go to the kitchen to get something to eat, and I happened to bump into them.
Li Cheng half-closed his eyes, his footsteps were a little vain, and his face was a lot more rosy than usual. Chu Xia asked the housekeeper, “What’s the matter, sir?”
“I drank some wine at Bai’s house, where’s Wang Ma? Let her make a bowl of sober soup for the husband.”
“Wang Ma’s body is a little uncomfortable. She went to the hospital for an examination in the afternoon, and she hasn’t come back yet. I’ll go.” Anyway, he was going to the kitchen to fiddle with the food, so he probably made this bowl.
“Can you do it?” The housekeeper seemed to have never seen him enter the kitchen.
“Should…” Chu Xia nodded and said to the housekeeper, “I can do it.”
The housekeeper let Chu Xia do it, and he helped Li Cheng go upstairs.
Chu Xia prepared the hangover soup and sent it upstairs. Worrying that Li Cheng would not be used to drinking it, he also mixed a glass of honey water. He stopped at the door and waved to the housekeeper inside, “Grandpa housekeeper, send it to Mr. Bar.”
The housekeeper took it and said something to trouble Young Master Qiu. He turned around and entered the house. Li Cheng heard the noise outside the door and asked the housekeeper, “Who is outside?”
The butler delivered the sober soup to Li Cheng and replied, “It’s Young Master Qiu.”
Li Cheng didn’t ask any more. He picked up the hangover soup in his hand and waited for a while, and took a sip. His expression was a little dazed, and he asked the housekeeper, “Who made the hangover soup?”
The housekeeper was taken aback. He smelled that Chu Xia’s sober soup tasted okay, so he didn’t try it, and brought it directly to Li Cheng. The housekeeper asked carefully, “Young Qiu made it, what’s wrong? The taste is too bad. ?”
“No.” Li Cheng put down the hangover soup, and after a while, picked it up again and took a sip.
Do you want to drink, or do you not want to drink? The housekeeper couldn’t guess what the husband was thinking, but after waiting for a while, he saw that the bowl had reached the bottom.
Looks like he still wants to drink.
It rained in the early morning, tick tock until noon the next day, Li Cheng was in the bedroom and never came out.
Chu Xia went out to get a courier. When she came back, she met the housekeeper who came down and asked a question casually. The housekeeper said, “Mr. has a fever. I’ll call the doctor to come over.”
Chu Xia snorted, and asked another question, worried, “Is it serious?”
“There’s one point. The main reason is that my husband doesn’t eat anything right now. I’m afraid my body won’t be able to bear it.”
Chu Xia comforted and said, “Just wait for the doctor to come.”
The housekeeper sighed: “Sir, every time he is sick, he has a bad temper. He doesn’t like being close to outsiders, he doesn’t like taking medicine, and he eats less food. It is estimated that this illness will take some time to heal.”
Then there is no way, take care of it.
Chu Xia sent the courier back to the room. She was worried about Li Cheng’s condition. She went upstairs to take a look. The housekeeper was taking Li Cheng’s temperature. When she saw Chu Xia outside the door, she told him, “Young Master Qiu is here Exactly, help me take these down.”
It was breakfast brought by the housekeeper in the morning. It was placed on the bedside table. It was cold now. Li Cheng didn’t move at one o’clock. Chu Xia walked over, but just as he passed by the bed, the unconscious Li Cheng suddenly stretched out his hand. He grabbed his hand, his palm was very hot, like a heater in winter, and somewhere in Chu Xia’s chest seemed to be scalded.
He stopped and looked down at Li Cheng.
Isn’t this person pretending to be asleep?
Otherwise, how can you grab your hand so accurately?
But even if he was pretending to be asleep, he couldn’t see.
The housekeeper was surprised that Li Cheng was taking the initiative to contact Chu Xia. Although he didn’t know the reason, maybe it was a good thing for Mr. Chu, he said to Chu Xia, “Why don’t you stay here, Mr. Qiu? Take care of Mr. ?A while?”
Chu Xia was about to nod when Li Cheng’s eyelids moved on the bed. Then he opened his eyes and realized that there was someone beside him. It was very strange. Although he couldn’t see the appearance of this person, he seemed to know who he was.
The housekeeper reminded him: “Sir, it’s Young Master Qiu.”
He frowned subconsciously, his voice hoarse, and asked Chu Xia, “Why are you here??”
Chu Xia immediately took his hand away from Li Cheng’s, turned around and said to the housekeeper, “I think it’s better to call Miss Bai to come over.”
