"I don't allow you to disturb my grandma's birthday party, go out." Xi Jiuchen's voice was filled with warning and anger.
"Your grandma is my stepmother. What should I say? As a stepson, I should also fulfill my filial piety. My good nephew, please don't stop your uncle from fulfilling his filial piety, okay?" The man's voice contained a pleading tone.
"You are not qualified to see her, and there is no place for you in the Xi family. If you are still ignorant, don't blame me for being ruthless." Xi Jiuchen's voice was extremely unkind.
"Jiu Chen, I still remember that I hugged you when you were just a few years old. Now more than twenty years have passed, and you are already the leader of the Xi family. I am really impressed and extremely proud of you!"
The man hissed, playing the family card, and continued to plead in a soft voice, "Jiuchen, give your uncle some face and let him meet your grandma, just for ten minutes."
"I say it again, get out." Xi Jiuchen's voice was as cold as a knife and merciless.
"You..." The middle-aged man's voice suppressed his anger.
Even hiding outside the window, Tang Zhixia could feel the solid air inside and the tense atmosphere.
"Jiuchen, do you really want to be so heartless? I am also a member of the Xi family and your uncle. How can you be so disrespectful to me?"
"The Xi family has not had a figure like you for a long time. In my eyes, you are nothing." Xi Jiuchen said coldly.
"Okay, very good, I will remember what you said today, Jiuchen, you will regret it." Xi Ruiming yelled angrily and heard a slamming door.
Tang Zhixia outside the window was so startled that his heart skipped a beat, and he stepped on a dead leaf under his feet, making a small rustling sound.
At this moment, a cold voice came, "Who, come out."
Tang Zhixia was just thinking about leaving when her heart jumped again at these words. She blushed and replied, "It's me... Tang Zhixia."
Just after Tang Zhixia finished answering, a figure walked towards the window. Xi Jiuchen looked at her in astonishment and lowered his voice, "Why is it you?"
"If I say I didn't eavesdrop on purpose, would you believe me?" Tang Zhixia said nonchalantly, feeling extremely embarrassed.
"Of course I believe it, come in!" Xi Jiuchen smiled at her.
Tang Zhixia walked in from the front and found that he was the only one in the entire living room of the villa. He was sitting on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and was puffing away, obviously in a bad mood.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have eavesdropped. I promise I won't say a word to anyone outside." Tang Zhixia raised her palms, although there was nothing to say about this matter.
Xi Jiuchen suddenly put out the cigarette he had just taken a few puffs on, stood up and said, "Come out with me to relax."
Tang Zhixia just accompanied him out. Along the direction of an uninhabited bamboo forest, there was a dense bamboo forest path with a few dim street lights scattered inside. Looking at the tall and tall figure walking in front, Tang Zhixia could not help but wonder for a moment.
Know what to say.
"He is my father's half-brother. He was kicked out of the family twenty years ago."
Tang Zhixia pursed her lips and said, "I know, your grandma talked to me about him this afternoon. Is it because of him that your parents died?"
Xi Jiuchen was slightly startled and turned to look at her, "It seems that my grandma regards you as one of her own."
Tang Zhixia's face felt hot, Mrs. Xi indeed meant this.
"That year, my parents went abroad to deal with the mess he caused. There was a helicopter accident and both of them died." After Xi Jiuchen finished speaking, he raised his head slightly, and the light shone on his face, showing a look of sadness.
Tang Zhixia's heart tugged, and she didn't know how to comfort him.
