After the incident of the Shijing mountain confession, the Xia family attached great importance to it. For the future marriage of Xia Qingshu, under the urge of Xia Jing, the family held a short meeting. Back then, Xia Jing and Xia Shan always thought that Qingshu liked Chen Zhiyu unilaterally. After learning the truth, they were a little surprised. After being surprised, they were happy again. In particular, Xia Jing and Chen Qixi could not wait to set off firecrackers to celebrate. They were almost misled by Chen Zhiyu’s narcissism. Obviously it was Chen Zhiyu’s wishful thinking towards their Qingshu, and they didn’t know where the confidence came from. Instead, he boldly believed that Qingshu loved him so much that he couldn’t help himself. Oh man. The current Chen Zhiyu was a joke in the eyes of the Xia family. What Chen Zhiyu and Xia Qingshu said alone at the end was unknown to outsiders.
Although on the outside, after the conversation with Qinshu, Chen Zhiyu looked like he was not so depressed, and the tail behind him seemed to stand up again, wagging happily. Everyone just thought that he was so sad after being rejected and couldn’t face it. In fact, they didn’t know how sad he was, maybe he secretly wiped his tears when he got home. Without Chen Zhiyu as a big problem, Chen Qixi was nolonger in a hurry to introduce a good man to Qingshu. Qingshu was still young and shouldn’t find a partner so quickly. He is simple and ignorant. Even if he wants to find one in the future, he has to find someone who will join the family. There are two older brothers to help take care of him here so that he will not be bullied. Now the Xia family had a united front, strictly guarding and prohibiting anyone with a handle from approaching the Xia Qinshu, not even a male dog. Chen Zhiyu couldn’t make an appointment with him, Wen Sheng couldn’t make an appointment with him, let alone Shen Xunyi, Xia Ji directly deleted Qingshu’s contact information on Shen Xunyi’s mobile phone. Xia Qingshu was pregnant, he was sulky all day, and he didn’t want to go out. It was not until four months later, when the fetus was stable and his spirit was better. He still didn’t want to go out but it just happened that Xia Lao Er’s restaurant branch had opened. On the opening day, Xia Qingshu bought a flower basket to celebrate. Xia Qingshu went to his foster father’s house and it was not convenient for Xia Jing Chen Qi Xi to interfere, so Xia Qing Shu was able to go out alone. He was wearing a large milky white overcoat, and his thin body was hidden inside, so one couldn’t tell that he was a four months pregnant man. His belly was soft, his lower abdomen was bulging a little, his waist was obviously an inward concave, and he was still slender, which didn’t seem to be much different from before. If it wasn’t for the occasional feeling that the little life in his belly kicked him from time to time, he would probably wonder if he was pregnant with loneliness.
The little life in the belly is very well-behaved, usually quiet, except when sometimes he oversleeps, and was not up for breakfast by ten o’clock, the little life would move a little. As long as he gets up to eat something, the little life will again be well behaved and won’t move. So obedient, maybe it is a beautiful and obedient daughter. Fortunately, he had been soft-hearted and kept the baby. He was worried that when the baby was born, it would be very cute, and he was reluctant to give the baby to Chen’s mother. Especially as the Chen family was so patriarchal, if it was a daughter, he would just raise it by himself, Chen Qixi and Xia Jing would support him. If they don’t support him, he will go back to Xia Lao Er. Alas, it’s too early to think about it now. The driver parked the car, Xia Qingshu got out of the car with a flower basket.
…… In just three months, the “Healing house” had established a firm foothold in the city and has become a new Internet celebrity western restaurant, which is very popular. This was already the third branch. The first two branches are almost full every day, with a monthly profit of millions.
If the business of the third branch is still hot, Xia Dong plans to open the branch to other places, a national chain. Xia Qingshu only invested 8 million at the beginning, and became the largest shareholder of “Healing House”. If this trend continues, the brand value of “Healing House” will reach 100 million yuan. By then, he will be fully capable of supporting himself and his child. Before 11:30, there was a long queue outside the “healing house”. Xia Qingshu was afraid that Xia Lao Er would be too busy, so after sending him a message, he sat in the queue and waited for him. After a while, there were more and more people at the entrance of the restaurant, and there was a loud noise – “Star, look, there is a star coming!!” Xia Qingshu took a closer look, and saw the “star” wearing a hat with sunglasses, and two bodyguards beside him walking down the corridor at the end. “Who is this, you are a star chaser, do you know him?” “I don’t know, did the restaurant invite him to cut the ribbon?” “It shouldn’t be, if he come to cut the ribbon, the restaurant would definitely have promoted it. Look at the door, there is nothing, just a few flower baskets.” “Did he come for dinner? I hope he doesn’t cut the line!!” “Fuck, look at the signature on this flower basket: This row of flower baskets are all from Chen Zhiyu!!”
The ‘star’ walked to the entrance of the ‘Healing House’ under the watchful eyes of the crowd, one of the bodyguards took off his hat and sunglasses and he smiled sweetly at the crowd, “Enjoy your meal, my fans will get a 30% discount at all Healing House’ branches. Fans, just show you are a Weibo follower to the front desk, this benefit is valid for a long time.” After speaking, the “celebrity” smiled sweetly at everyone in the queue, and entered the restaurant with the bodyguards, just like a restaurant owner. Xia Qingshu: “…” This person is so shameless! “30% off!! Does anyone know who he is? I’ll follow him right away!” “I don’t know, do you know hkm?” “This star is average looking, but he’s quite kind hearted, giving benefits to his fans right after opening his shop, who is he, I want to follow him right away!!!” “I think I’ve seen him before, he’s from that “Good Songs of China, let me look for him!” “Ah, he’s Xia Yubin! Followed!”
Xia Qingshu followed Xia Yubin into the restaurant. Xia Yubin not only said it at the door, but also repeated what he just said through the loudspeaker inside the restaurant, “You can pass this news to your friends, ‘Healing House’ will soon open branches all over the country, this condition will be valid in all shops all over the country in the future! ” After Xia Yubin finished speaking, there was a commotion in the audience. It’s silly not to take advantage of a bargain, the guests pulled out their phones to follow, it’s just a simple matter anyway, there’s not much trouble. The lobby manager thought there was a mental illness, so he came forward to interfere, but before he got close, he was stopped by two bodyguards beside Xia Yubin, “Mr. Xia Yubin is the young owner of the ‘healing house’.” Xia Yubin kindly reminded the bodyguards, “Don’t be too rude, this employee should be a newcomer and had never seen me.” The lobby manager snorted, he was an old employee transferred from the head office, and he knew the three owners of the restaurant very well. Their boss is called Xia Qingshu, and every time they have a meeting, Xia Dong and Xia Lao Er will mention it to them once. Although the boss Xia Qingshu has never attended the staff meetings, all their employees have seen the photo of the boss Xia Qingshu. The big boss Xia Qingshu looks better than this so-called “star”, maybe this person is here to defraud. The lobby manager picked up the walkie-talkie, “The back kitchen, dunkers, dishboys, cleaners, anyone who is strong, come out in a few, there is a disturbance in the lobby.” In a short while, several round-waisted and back-breaking workers surrounded Xia Yubin.
Xia Yubin panicked and called Xia Lao Er, who ran out of the kitchen wearing an apron and stopped the backroom staff who were about to start something. After learning about the benefits that Xia Yubin offered to customers, Xia Lao Er quickly waved his hand, “Yubin, this is not good.” Xia Lao Er grabbed the microphone in Xia Yubin’s hand and made amends to the customers, “Don’t listen to him, everyone, the child doesn’t know any better and is talking nonsense.” With that, he pushed him towards the private room upstairs. Xia Lao Er turned his head, saw Xia Qing Shu who was standing on the sidelines watching the fun, and beckoned to him, “Qing Shu, you come too.” Xia Yubin was pushed upstairs by Xia Lao Er, and he did not forget to explain to the guests: “The owner of this store is my father, I will convince him, everyone, please don’t quit.” Xia Lao Er whispered, “No, no, no.” But his voice was small, drowned out by the noise of the guests. After entering the private room, he hesitated, “Yubin, the new store opens today, the discount can be 20%, and only the new store can have the discount. Those customers just now can get a 30% discount, but it’s only for today, and it won’t work in the future. ” “Dad, didn’t you promise to support my career? I just signed a contract and my career has just started. It’s the time when I need the support of my family.” Xia Yubin pouted and said aggrievedly, “I asked Brother Dong, The profit of the catering industry is very high, 80% of the profit, you will not lose even if you give a 70% discount, and you can still sell small profits but quick turnover.” Xia Lao Er didn’t know how to answer the question, although this store is booming, it is also not his, he stammered to explain. “The catering industry is very profitable, but the risk is also high, right now it’s hot, but I don’t know what will happen in the future. The decoration cost of a store is tens of millions of yuan. I can’t get the points back. Now is the time to recover the capital while the business is good, not when the price is discounted. Moreover, we use high-end ingredients, and the profits are meager. Fifty percent of the profits are considered high, not counting the wages and benefits, rent, water and electricity for the workers.”
Besides, the “healing house” is not his alone. Xia Yubin was bored, and said coquettishly, “Dad, you should invest in me. In the future, I will become a big star, and I can make a lot of money. After I become popular, I can also help the restaurant publicize, and the restaurant’s business will definitely increase and become even better, maybe it can become a national chain and then go public. I know you are the best to me, Dad!” Xia Yubin held the hand of Xia Lao Er, revealing a strong intimacy. Xia Lao Er was a little at a loss, but he couldn’t push it away. Xia Qingshu held a cup of hot tea and took a sip, “What if you can’t be popular?” He was sitting in the corner of the sofa, his voice was small and inconspicuous. At first glance, he was not as bright and glamorous as Xia Yubin. However, he just sat quietly like this, seemingly not fighting or grabbing, soft and weak, but he couldn’t be ignored, and the words he said were heart-piercing enough. After losing the men in his previous life, becoming popular has always been the last straw that Xia Yubin can hold in his hand. After being judged to his face for not being able to be popular, Xia Yubin tilted his head and said proudly, “The fellow student who debuted with me, whose family had money to do marketing, had a small popularity and now receives several millions for one commercial. Big deal, I’ll return it to dad later.” Xia Yubin said to Xia Lao Er, “Marketing is very expensive now, I figured it out. Using restaurant publicity in this way will not only benefit each other, but also save a lot of money. In the future, my fans will often come to you to spend, and so you can also increase your turnover. If you still feel uneasy, you should write down how much you lost, and I will pay you back the money I earn later.”
Xia Lao Er said, “How can I ask you to pay it back?” With the support of Xia Lao Er, Xia Yubin glanced at Xia Qingshu provocatively. He is the biological son of Xia Lao, and he should inherit his property in the future. Xia Qingshu held the teacup, and while no one was talking, he asked again, “Xia Yubin, you haven’t answered me yet, what if you don’t become popular?” Xia Yubin bit his lip, his face slightly deformed, “I will definitely It will be popular!” The bodyguard reminded softly, “Mr. Xia Yubin, expression.” Xia Yubin took a deep breath and almost forgot, he is a star now, and he has to manage his expression at all times. He took a deep breath, pulled out a somewhat satisfied smile, and sneered, “Whether I’m popular or not, what does it matter to you? Brother, are you envious of seeing me become a star?” “I’m not envious.” Xia Qingshu then put down the teacup, sat on the sofa, and picked up a small ledger on the table, “Since you said you want to compensate the restaurant for losses, then I will record it.” While speaking in a low voice, he took a pen and wrote down in the notebook, “On XX/ XX/XXXX, because of Xia Yubin’s vanity and in order to help Xia Yubin accumulate passers-by fans, the third branch of ‘Healing House’ lost thirty percent turnover…” Halfway through his writing, he raised his head, “Xia Yubin, when will you become popular?”
Xia Yubin: “Why are you asking this?” “So that you can pay me back?” Xia Qingshu shook his head and said puzzled, “My mother said that when there is a loan there has to be a repayment, and it’s not difficult to borrow again. I’ll wait for you to become popular, please pay me the money back.” Xia Yubin said angrily, “I don’t know.” In his previous life, he had all kinds of resources, whether in the entertainment or capital circles, there were quality men to help him. So if he wanted to be popular, it was just a matter of words. It was just that in his last life he hadn’t been interested in his career, and dealing with relationships had taken up all his energy. There were no men in this life. He wanted to develop his career well, but then he realized how difficult it is to get involved in the entertainment industry. If he knew when he could get popular, he wouldn’t be so aggrieved now. Xia Qingshu let out an “oh”, and continued to write, “Xia Yubin’s popularity is still a long way off…” Xia Yubin was furious, “What is it?!” Xia Qingshu looked innocent, “You said it yourself.” He whispered He muttered, “You said that you don’t know when you will become popular, isn’t that a long way off?”
Xia Yubin frowned and looked at Xia Lao Er, “Dad, I won’t write this, you promised to help me. ” He was dead set on asking Xia Lao Er to help him accumulate fans.
Xia Lao Er said dully, “I listen to Miao cub.” Seeing that Xia Yubin was about to cry again, Xia Lao Er quickly explained, “‘Healing House’ is Qingshu’s restaurant, that’s why I said it doesn’t matter.” Xia Qingshu pursed his lips and turned towards Xia Yubin, smiling sweetly. “He is the big boss of the “healing house”. Xia Yubin’s nose was sour, “Dad, you are partial. I am your own son. Why do you leave everything good to Qingshu…” Damn, why is everyone so kind to Xia Qingshu?! Obviously he is the biological son of Xia Lao Er. He is so much better than Xia Qingshu. Why can’t these people see his goodness? ! Are these people’s heads caught in the door? ! Since Xia Qingshu can have a share of the three stores, he must have a share. Xia Yubin blinked, twisting Xia Lao Er and crying. As soon as the child cried, Xia Lao Er was at a loss. “This store was opened with Qingshu’s investment. He is a major shareholder. Both Xia Dong and I worked for him and got some shares. Yubin, please stop crying. How about Dad shares the proceeds for you to invest?” Xia Yubin stopped sobbing and asked, “How much do you have?”
Xia Lao Er answered honestly: “I have ten percent, and I can share ten to two hundred thousand yuan a month. If the business is good, I can share more.” Xia Yubin gritted his teeth, blood dripping from his heart. Only ten percent, what can you do with such a small amount of money. But it’s better than nothing, Xia Yubin sobbed and nodded. Xia Qingshu didn’t know what to think of, so he turned to Xia Yubin and said, “You can’t inherit the ‘healing house’, but there are two good things in the family that you can inherit.” He raised his head and looked longingly, “Those two things are good.” Xia Yubin stopped sobbing, a little anxious, “What?” Xia Qingshu sold a crown, pursed his lips and said nothing. Xia Yubin turned to Xia Lao Er, “Dad, you gave all the good things to Xia Qinshu, I don’t care, you must give me these two things!” Xia Lao Er was a little dumbfounded. Why didn’t he know what else could be inherited in the family?
Xia Qingshu whispered, “Dad, you give Yubin those two things, I have no problem with that.” Xia Lao Er murmured, “Give it to you…” Although he didn’t know what it was. He looked at Xia Qingshu and asked him for help. Xia Qingshu then said slowly, “Dad, you forgot, our Xia family has a title inheritance, and now brother Yubin is your own, the right to fight for the title should fall on his shoulders.” Xia Yubin: “. ……” Old man Xia’s title will cause him to be sucked him to death the Xia family if he inherits it. What the fuck is good about this. This idiot has water in his head. He took a deep breath and continued to ask, “What else is there?” Xia Qingshu was a little embarrassed, lowered his head and blushed, and said in a low voice, “The marriage contract between Brother Xia Sang and our family. The marriage of Brother Xia Sang before….the object was me, who knew that I wasn’t the right child, you are the real son of the family. You can choose a day to get married.” Xia Yubin: “…”
He was actually played by this fool. Xia Lao Er was also in agreement, “Yubin, these two good things are for you.” Xia Yubin: shivering and cold. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. The bodyguard opened the door a crack, and several shy little girls stood at the door. Seeing the people in the private room, the girls’ eyes flashed for a while, and they asked embarrassedly, “Excuse me, can I take a picture with you?” Xia Yubin winked at the bodyguard, and the bodyguard said, “Okay, no trouble. Can you wait for two minutes, Mr. Xia will come out immediately.” When Xia Yubin went out today, he deliberately dressed up. He wore a black coat with a larger fit to make his figure slimmer. He put on light makeup on his face. When he was crying, he accidentally smeared his mascara and eyeliner. Now he needs to touch up his makeup. When he was putting on makeup, he didn’t like anyone being present. The two bodyguards consciously guarded the door. The kitchen was very busy when as it’s the first opening, and someone came to call after a while, and Xia Lao Er also left. Xia Yubin and Xia Qingshu were left in the entire private room. Xia Qing Shu sat forward and took out his mobile phone, swiping several videos with Xia Yubin’s songs in the background.
Xia Yubin put powder on his face while paying attention to Xia Qingshu’s movements. Out of the corner of his eye, Xia Qingshu turned off the phone angrily, and a smile finally appeared on the corner of Xia Yubin’s mouth. “Brother, are you in a hurry to see your brother famous?” Xia Yubin snorted and said modestly, “The album just released, I don’t know why the popularity is so high ah.” He had just been sarcastically criticized by the other party for not becoming famous, but he didn’t expect that people would immediately ask for a photo together, and his songs were all over the charts, so Xia Yubin was like a proud peacock who couldn’t wait to open his tail feathers. Xia Qingshu shook his head and asked in a low voice, “What’s there to be proud about relying on plagiarism?” Xia Yubin drew a long eyeliner and glanced at him, “Plagiarism? Where’s the evidence?” “I’ve heard Sister Xia Mei sing these two songs.” Xia Qing Shu accompanied Xia Mei those few days and had heard Sister Xia Mei sing many songs, and the two songs Xia Yubin was famous for were among them. Sister Xia Mei liked these two songs so much that she often hummed them, and they were so recognisable that Xia Qing Shu knew them as soon as he heard them. Within a few days of Xia Yubin’s album release, Xia Qing Shu received a text message from Xia Mei – “My songs have been plagiarized.” “Hearing it is proof, brother, are you telling jokes?” Xia Yubin coldly lowered his face and warned, “Xia Qing Shu, even if you are my brother, I will sue you for malicious slander of reputation.” Sister Xia Mei has always written songs to entertain herself, either to her family and friends, or to herself. They have never been published, nor has she sent a demo to a record company.
It is really difficult to prove that the song was originally written by Sister Xia Mei, and he may be accused of slander due to insufficient evidence. Xia Qingshu blushed and accused the other party, “You… provoked Sister Mei, you deliberately forced Sister Xia Mei…” He was the worst at quarrels. He blushed when he spoke a little loudly, and often didn’t scold anyone. He was also aggrieved. A pair of beautiful eyes filled with tears, as if they were about to cry out of sadness. Xia Qingshu’s weak and chirping appearance pleased Xia Yubin. His sullen breath relaxed and he the stuffiness in his heart exhaled out.. He stared at Xia Qingshu’s face, deliberately speaking mean words, “So what, even without me, Xia Mei would still die!” Sure enough, Xia Yubin wanted Xia Mei to die! Why? Xia Qingshu’s face was instantly pale, and the tears hung on the long eyelashes, trembling, and it was extremely pitiful.
Xia Yubin sneered, “It’s useless to put this pitiful image on me.” He used to inquire about Xia Mei’s current situation from time to time before. Xia Dong and Xia Lao Er kept silent, and even Li Xiao didn’t know. Xia Qingqiu was even more of a fool and wouldn’t know where Xia Mei was. Looking at Xia Qingshu’s appearance now, Xia Mei is nine out of ten dead. With such a sharp kitchen knife, her wrist was about to be cut off, and she was so depressed, how could she still live? Unless the scumbag leaves the house, Xiaosan was expelled from the company. Was it possible? Impossible. He contacted Wangzhe privately, and told the other party that Xia Dong was investigating him and Xiao San, and asked them to act more safely. If there was no evidence that Wangzhe was cheating, half of the marital property would be distributed. For wasting her parents’ hard-earned money, Xia Mei would blame herself for the rest of her life. Since Xia Mei cut her wrists the second time, Xia Yubin was sure that she would not live long, and Xia Qingshu’s reaction just made him confirm the news of Xia Mei’s death. Ah, those excellent and sweet songs can finally be heard by everyone. Xia Yubin happily put the cosmetics into the bag, and said in a half-truth, “Not only Xia Mei, but also you, Xia Qingshu, you should have died a long time ago!”
Xia Qingshu was shocked. Xia Yubin’s determined eyes didn’t seem to be talking nonsense or cursing him, but rather like telling a trivial matter. He didn’t know how Xia Mei ended, but the “Xia Qingshu” in the original book had indeed died a long time ago. Could it be that Xia Yubin also transmigrated? ! Xia Qingshu’s mind was a mess, he took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. Xia Yubin from the original book would wander among all kinds of high-quality men, but now he has only one man, Mr. Wu, and is still concentrating on his career. Since he transmigrated, he should have known a lot of information, such as Xia Mei’s songs exploding. Seriously, if Sister Xia Mei didn’t get help, she would not have had the will to live. Xia Qingshu is very sure that Xia Yubin, like him, is also a transmigrator who was familiar with the plot. What he did was to take the songs written and composed by Sister Xia Mei as his own. In Xia Mei’s room, there are hundreds of good original songs. He finally understood why Xia Yubin was always provoking Xia Mei. Not only did he steal two songs, he wanted to steal all of them.
Xia Qingshu not only turned, but his eyes did too. How could this man be so bad! Looking at Xia Qingshu’s appearance, Xia Yubin smiled comfortably, and finally raised his eyebrows in front of him. He had a seductive foxy look and used it to seduce men. Without a man, he is nothing. Only by yourself can you shine forever! Xia Yubin pushed open the door confidently and smiled sweetly at the little girls at the door, “I’m sorry to keep you waiting for a long time, let’s take a photo together.” The girls froze for a while, then pointed to Xia Qingshu behind Xia Yubin and said, “I’m sorry, we want to take a photo with him.” Xia Qingshu was a little surprised, and pointed to himself with half-open mouth:? ? “Mmmm, little brother Xia Qingshu, we just want to take a photo with you!!!” After getting the approval, several little chirped and swarmed up to surround Xia Qingshu.
“Little brother, your face is so small, I have to step back a little, otherwise my face will look big!” “Little brother, your skin is so good, did you really just put on baby cream ?!” After the photo shoot, a few girls whispered, “Who was that guy just now? Such a big stance and hiring bodyguards. I haven’t seen a single fan of his at all!” Xia Yubin’s face cracked when he heard their discussion.
