Chapter 41 The Haunted House is Acquired
"Xiao Chu, let's go."
Seeing that Xia Zhiheng could barely control Wang Fengxian, the Lin father and son felt relieved. After all, this was the family home of Xia's eldest daughter-in-law, and even Xiao Chu, a member of the Xia family, might not see them often, let alone Yang Yunxia's family. So they weren't too worried, just wondering why she had made such a fuss for so long.
Xia Zhiheng actually had ulterior motives; he wanted his mother to see his maternal grandmother's true character so that she wouldn't have to give her whatever she wanted in the future. When she couldn't do something, she would go to him.
"Wait a minute, Xiao Chu, do you like that house? I'm going to transfer the ownership later, or maybe I can just transfer it to your name."
"No, that house is unlucky. Xiao Chu, listen to your grandma. If you want a house, wait until your dad has saved enough money. Xia Guoan, why did you have to buy that haunted house?"
Grandma Xia didn't dare to tell Xia Yichu so clearly, for fear of frightening her. As far as she knew, four owners of that house had died so far, and the last owner had his entire family wiped out.
"Mom, I didn't buy it. My boss gave it to me. I don't have any money to buy a house."
Xia Guoan quickly explained that he didn't want Lin Weidong to misunderstand him, as his older brother had finally changed his opinion of him.
"Grandma Xia, I like that house."
She doesn't live there anyway, so she doesn't care how many people die; it'll just mean demolition. She just wonders how much compensation Chen Shaoping received in his past life; she's really looking forward to it.
To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, it's best to keep the house in her own name. Considering the money and the house, she certainly won't treat Xia Guoan unfairly.
"But you haven't even gone to see the house."
"I like houses, I like all kinds of houses."
"Well"
Grandma Xia couldn't respond to that; who doesn't like a house these days?
"Alright, old woman, if Xiao Chu wants it, give it to her. She has so many houses, she can choose not to live there. Guo An, hurry up and take Xiao Chu there, don't delay her flight back to Pengcheng."
"it is good"
"Grandma Xia, I've boiled two kettles of water in the thermos for you. Pour them in if you're thirsty."
"Okay, sure."
Grandma Xia reluctantly pulled Xia Yichu aside, telling her to take good care of herself, and asked Grandpa Xia to write down the home phone number for her.
Then the group went directly to the housing management bureau to complete the formalities. The leader had already called, so the formalities were completed smoothly.
After leaving the housing management office and returning to the guesthouse, Xia Guoan mustered his courage and said, "Brother, can I talk to Xiao Chu for a bit?"
"Alright! Xiao Cheng, let's go to the guesthouse to collect our things, Xiao Chu."
Considering that Xiao Chu got four houses for free, this request isn't unreasonable.
"Okay, Uncle."
Xia Yichu also wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Xia Guoan. Considering Xia Guoan's safety, the two went to the room that Xia Yichu had booked to talk, while the guards stood watch outside.
"Xiao Chu, Daddy is so sorry, you've suffered so much. You..."
"I'm not suffering; it's my uncle and aunt who are suffering."
"Yes, your uncles and aunts are very kind, and I will find a chance to repay them."
"Xiao Cheng also wants to be a researcher."
"Xiao Chu, it's not that I don't want to help, but you can't just get into a research institute whenever you want. Here's what I'll do: after he graduates, I can find someone to mentor him so he can learn first."
Researchers like Xia Guoan have very valuable time, and assistants need years of research experience; he doesn't have time to mentor newcomers.
"What I mean is that you can send the books you used to study to Xiao Cheng so he can learn them on his own first. Whether he can become a researcher in the future depends on Xiao Cheng himself, and I believe he can do it."
"No problem, I'll go back and organize my books and send them to him right away. I'll also write down a phone number for you so that Xiao Cheng can ask him if he has any questions."
He's one of my students, and he's currently working in a government agency in Shenzhen. I'll call him later to let him know.
"it is good"
This also happened in my past life, but the beneficiary was Chen Shaoping, who unfortunately turned out to be utterly useless. He was dating Yang Mengru, and also had to deal with her. He had no interest in studying, and if that uncle said a few words to him, he wouldn't go, saying he looked down on people.
After a moment of silence, Xia Guoan said, "Xiao Chu, take good care of yourself. I'm leaving Kyoto, and I don't know when we'll meet again."
This is my phone number. You can call this number to contact me if it's important. However, it needs to be reported through several levels and your identity needs to be verified before we can reach you.
He could have stayed a little longer, but he needed to go back and organize the books so he could send them to Lin Xingcheng tomorrow.
Xia Yichu looked at the number in her hand with mixed feelings. Xia Guoan hadn't given her this number in her past life. She didn't know if it was because the wedding went too far or if he had simply forgotten.
"Wait a minute, my name is Xia Yichu."
Xia Guoan stood there, stunned, as if something had struck a deep memory within him.
"Brother Guoan, what do you think about naming this baby, whether it's a boy or a girl, Yichu? It means my feelings for you will never change, just like when I first met you."
"Brother Guoan, the child is gone. It's all my fault for being so careless."
The girl cried her heart out, and Xia Guoan felt sorry for her too; it was his first child, already over five months old. Because he had a fever, Lin Weihong had been taking care of him for a whole day and night without getting any rest.
It had just rained outside, and the road was slippery. She slipped and fell, losing the baby. For the next two or three years, Lin Weihong didn't get pregnant again until he went to university and returned home, at which point she became pregnant again.
It's a pity Xia Guoan doesn't know; it's all Yang Yunxian's fault. Wei Hong didn't receive his letter; how heartbroken she must have been. He'll go again tomorrow to see how Yang Yunxian's matter is going.
"Xia Gong"
Xia Guoan walked out dejectedly, and Xia Yichu ignored him. She tidied her clothes, then wrote another letter; she was going to anonymously report Yang Xingwang later. After all, she owed Xia Zhiheng in her past life, and this letter would be repayment for the sins she had committed against him.
Xia Zhiheng's suicide in his previous life wasn't entirely due to his disability, but rather because he went from being a highly praised police officer to a pariah.
This story begins last month when Yang Xingwang and his cronies went to a bar. Before leaving, they took two girls with them, one of whom was gang-raped and killed.
Another girl was lucky; she went to the restroom, realized something was wrong, and ran away. Afterwards, Yang Xingwang panicked. He only drank with them; he had a girlfriend at the time and thought he couldn't do anything to betray her, so he didn't rape the girl.
However, everyone present had done something wrong, so it was impossible for him not to. Therefore, they ordered Xia Xingwang to drag the girl out and bury her, or they would kill him. He had no choice but to comply.
The girl who had run away couldn't bear it and went to report it to the police, and they were all arrested. Two days later, Yang Xingwang was released, and Xia Zhiheng was busy with wedding preparations.
He thought it was a minor matter and didn't think much of it. He paid the fine and was released. His subordinate and classmate told him not to worry about it and to focus on preparing for the wedding. He assured him that he would take care of things.
He didn't tell him why it happened this time. When he asked Yang Xingwang, he wouldn't say, only saying it was a small matter, so he didn't bother to ask any further.
Because Yang Xingwang and Yang Xingyu were often arrested for fighting or petty theft, all of which were minor and harmless incidents.
Sometimes he doesn't care and just lets them stay in custody until their allotted time is up. Sometimes his grandmother and mother make a huge fuss, then he'll have them pay a fine and release them, but he always follows the rules.
Xia Yichu hesitated, then decided to rewrite the letter and give it directly to Xia Zhiheng. She didn't want his classmate to take the anonymous letter, as that would only alert him.
His classmate was waiting to oust Xia Zhiheng so he could take his place. This whole thing was orchestrated by that classmate; Xia Zhiheng had always considered him a good friend.
