Xia Shaoqian's father lived there until the Lantern Festival.
There is no intimacy between Mr. Xia and Xia Shaoqian, and he doesn't like Xia Zhimeng very much, so he only dotes on Xia Ye at home. He has a crush on Li Yu, Lao Li's old son, and often asks Li Yu to come and play with his father.
Originally, Li Yu liked to run to Xia's house, but now it was out of control, and he spent almost the whole year in Xia's house.
"Grandpa wants to match you and Dad."
Mr. Xia went to bed after playing a few games of chess. Xia Ye and Li Yu were playing poker in the game room, and Li Yu threw away all the cards with a shake of his hand as soon as this sentence came out.
Xia Ye didn't even bother to peek at his cards. While counting points, he said slowly: "Of course, you look good, you have a good family background, maybe you are a virgin with no love history..."
Li Yu finally couldn't take it anymore, and knocked on the table heavily: "Xia Ye, is this what you should say to your elders?"
Xia Ye ignored: "...The most important thing is, with your obsessive energy, are you still at the mercy of your father? You have been determined for the rest of your life. Such a comparison seems to be much more reliable than an actor."
Li Yu was immediately led away by his words, he hesitated and asked, "But, isn't Uncle very disgusted with the two men?"
"No matter how disgusted grandpa is, dad has never broken a man in these years. Besides, how do you know what purpose he is matching up with? It is very likely that he just wants to use you to squeeze out Chengyan. I can only say that his behavior is indeed It’s matching, as for the motive, it’s just a guess.”
Xia Ye smiled and said, "If I were you, I don't care what his motives are, and we'll talk about it when we seize the opportunity." He suddenly raised his chin, imitating Li Yu's innocent expression, and blinked his eyes: "After all, that's Dearest brother Shaoqian!"
Li Yu has completely forgotten the dignity of the elders, he trembled all over, and finally couldn't help asking: "Do you think you can succeed?"
Xia Shaoqian's wife, Qiu Yunnan, is the old Mr. Xia's favorite. If he is favored by this old man, maybe he can really...
Xia Ye smiled happily: "Do you know that your expression looks like a pervert right now?"
He put down the card and said good night, leaving Li Yu alone, troubled and sweet.
What Xia Ye could see, Xia Shaoqian couldn't even worry about it.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, Xia Shaoqian carried Xia Zhimeng to his father's apartment.
Xia Zhimeng lay timidly in her father's arms, every time her grandfather was very serious to her, she was a little afraid of him.
"Xiaomeng, go, give the card to grandpa." Xia Shaoqian put her down.
Xia Zhimeng ran up to Mr. Xia, and stuffed a handmade card into the old man's hand: "Here you are!"
Like a game, run and hide behind a chair.
Mr. Xia looked at the red sun father-in-law drawn with crayons on the card, and showed a rare smile. He lifted her out from behind the chair and shook her little hand: "Xiaomeng is going out to play, grandpa and dad have something to say." .”
Xiaomeng ran out again.
Xia Shaoqian looked at her small back and said gently: "If there is any difference between her and other children, it is that she is cuter than other children." He looked at his father: "Why do you always refuse to accept her?"
Mr. Xia saw that his son looked like his own face when he was young, he pursed his lips, and finally replied: "I always think, if your mother is still alive, she will never let you do such a thing."
Xia Zhimeng is a test-tube baby. At that time, Xia Shaoqian and Qiu Yunnan's marriage was on the verge of breaking up. They both agreed to divorce, but decided to have another child. So she found a surrogate and gave birth to Xia Zhimeng.
After knowing this, Mr. Xia did not speak to Xia Shaoqian for a whole year.
Now he can talk about it calmly.
"I really don't understand what you young people are thinking," he shook his head. "After your mother died, you did too many ridiculous things. I often think, are you demonstrating against her? Revenge? She is you after all mother of…”
Xia Shaoqian showed embarrassment and loss: "Dad..."
Mr. Xia then talked about old things with him. Speaking of Xia Shaoqian's mother was a religious believer and forced both father and son to believe with him. Mr. Xia is an adult, and he quarrels with her whenever he is forced. Xia Shaoqian was still young, and was brainwashed by his mother every day, and after he accepted the religion, he was restrained a lot, causing unspeakable trouble.
"But she loves you after all. At the last moment, she suddenly cried to me, saying that she regretted letting Yun Nan marry you, and she couldn't see your smiling face at all."
It was the first time Xia Shaoqian heard this, his hands trembled slightly, and he finally said: "Even if it's not Yun Nan, there will always be another woman. You know... the way she 'corrects' my sexuality, I'm afraid even her dear God Neither can be forgiven."
Mr. Xia was silent.
"Father," Xia Shaoqian looked at him, "Aren't you also very angry at that time?"
Mr. Xia suddenly became flustered, his eyes were moist: "She is dead, I always think of her well. Seeing these things you do, I feel sorry for her, she spent so much effort , still failed to turn you into what she expected."
Xia Shaoqian also had a burst of inexplicable emotions, and he slowly knelt down in front of his father: "Please think more about the living..."
