Chapter 24 The 23rd day of getting disliked
The next day at Sheng Family Manor’s dining room.
At the dining table, Shi Wei and Sheng Jingchen ate breakfast quietly.
On most days, Shi Wei rarely got up so early. As she drank too much last night and didn't eat anything, it went without saying she woke up because of hunger.
How did she get back yesterday?
Didn't Ye Wenqing say that she could drink whatever she wanted and she would be responsible for going home with her if drunk?
How did she get back to Sheng's manor?
"Tongzi, what happened last night? Did Chauffeur Zhang send me back?" Shi Wei asked the system in her mind.
The system was silent for a while before finally speaking with a hoarse voice, "How about you recall it yourself?"
Shi Wei:?
Shi Wei racked her brains to think about it.
She had a good memory, but once she was dizzy, her memory was extremely poor.
The first thing that came to her mind was the scene of Shi Wei touching Sheng Jingchen's lower abdomen in the Bentley last night.
Shi Wei:!
Last night, she felt that she hadn't touched him enough. So she moved to Sheng Jingchen's side, looking at him with a squinting face, "The hosts can take off their clothes and let me touch. Can you?"
Sheng Jingchen: "..."
Shi Wei: "..."
Without waiting for Sheng Jingchen's consent, Shi Wei's little hands had already begun to lift Sheng Jingchen's shirt.
The black silk shirt stuck to Sheng Jingchen's well-defined muscles. After being lifted up by Shi Wei, it revealed eight neat and full abdominal muscles underneath...
Shi Wei's eyes lit up.
Sheng Jingchen took a breath of cold air.
He instantly grabbed Shi Wei's restless little hand, "Shi Wei, stop it."
Shi Wei: "Didn't you say you have abdominal muscles? You still don't let me touch you, liar!"
Sheng Jingchen: "..."
Shi Wei: "If you don't let me touch your abdominal muscles, then I can touch your sexy chest muscles?"
As she said that, Shi Wei stretched out her wicked little hand to Sheng Jingchen's sexy chest muscles. Sheng Jingchen's ears were red and he immediately grabbed Shi Wei's hand.
He felt an itch in his throat. His voice was low as his eyes drooped, "Shi Wei, wake up. Let's go home.”
Shi Wei looked up at Sheng Jingchen. For a moment, she was lost in thought.
The small car area was surging with undercurrents. Shi Wei felt hot. She couldn't tell whether it was the hormones or the aftereffects of the foreign wine. She leaned forward and kissed Sheng Jingchen's lips.
...
After recalling the play in the car last night, Shi Wei was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
"Help! I want to dig a hole and crawl in! Tongzi, why didn't you remind me last night!"
"Do you think I didn't?" The system rolled its eyes, "Didn't you notice that my voice is hoarse!"
Shi Wei had a tragic fury expression.
Sure enough, alcohol wasn't a good thing. The first time sheI drank it at Sheng's house, she was drugged.
The second time she drank, she jumped on Sheng Jingchen.
Shi Wei didn't even dare to look at Sheng Jingchen. Later, the Bentley started. Because she was a little carsick and the alcohol was getting stronger, Shi Wei had completely forgotten what happened afterwards.
"Tongzi, it couldn't be that I… to Sheng Jingchen..." again, right?
"No, no, no!" The system replied quickly, "I was supervising this time!"
"Thank god!" Shi Wei breathed a sigh of relief. Then she thought of something and became depressed again, "What's going on? I'm a beautiful woman who's warm and fragrant, but Sheng Jingchen was indifferent. Nothing happened between us? As expected, he can’t do it!"
Sheng Jingchen, who had been eating quietly and pretending that he didn't hear anything:?
……
Breakfast continued in silence. Shi Wei digested what happened last night irritably. Sheng Jingchen felt a little embarrassed when he thought about what happened last night, so he simply said nothing.
In the dining room, a strange silence echoed and no one wanted to destroy such an atmosphere.
Suddenly, Sheng Jingchen groaned.
The sound was low, but because it was in the quiet dining hall, it was particularly obvious.
Shi Wei curiously looked at Sheng Jingchen. Though it was fleeting, a trace of extremely light sorrow appeared on his thousand-years-iceberg face. Then Shi Wei noticed that Sheng Jingchen seemed to press his stomach and quickly moved his hand away.
Shi Wei caught on.
Nine out of ten domineering Presidents have stomach problems.
In the past, Xia Yuanzhou had stomach problems because he was in the training camp day and night, and his day and night were reversed.
Shi Wei observed Sheng Jingchen again. His painful look was almost the same as Xia Yuanzhou's, but the former was more restrained and couldn’t be seen without observation.
During the time when he was abroad, Sheng Jingchen had no time to adjust to the time difference and had been working all the time. He didn't adjust to the time difference after returning last night and worked in the study all night without sleeping and eating anything. Now he had a stomach ache in the morning.
On a rare chance, Shi Wei showed a distressed expression, "Elder Brother Jingchen, I see you aren’t feeling well. Do you still want to go to the company today? Or rest at home?"
A trace of confusion flashed in Sheng Jingchen's eyes.
Then he shook his head, "There are still matters to do in the company. I will go to the company after breakfast."
"So hard!" Shi Wei murmured. He was already a top household in the capital, so why was he working so hard?
The system answered, "Host, the villain is different from you. You have awakened, so I can only use the 【Dislike System】 to restrain you and let you continue to make it difficult for Xia Duoduo. Even so, you still have self-awareness. Your life is no longer centered on making trouble for Xia Duoduo. You have your own life. You acquire IPs, establish a company with Ye Wenqing, and watch the cowherd drink when you have nothing to do. These are the basic leisure and desires of a human being."
"But the villain will not have such desires. His existence is to meet the plot setting. He only needs to work every day and make a lot of money. When he reaches the plot point, he can smoothly appear in front of Xia Duoduo. That's all."
"When you say that, I feel a little sorry for Sheng Jingchen." Shi Wei looked at Sheng Jingchen with a complicated gaze, "Look at it this way, whether it's me, Sheng Jingchen, or even Xia Duoduo, we are all poor people trapped in the plot."
System: "That's not the case. The character setting is set by the author, but if the character's essential desires and the setting are opposite, it will prompt the character to awaken. And if the character's essential desires and the setting are similar, then they will naturally follow these settings. So the character's behavior is what it is. It isn't completely the fault of the plot and the author."
"In that case..." Shi Wei said sincerely, "Doesn't it show that Sheng Jingchen is quite pitiful? What kind of past does he have that makes him feel that life is only about work?"
-
While Shi Wei was eating breakfast quietly, there was all kinds of ruckus at the Xia Family villa.
Mother Xia went shopping with her bestie early in the morning, and Father Xia and Xia Yiwen went to work at the company. Only Xia Duoduo, who had no work, and Xia Yuanzhou, who had a rare rest and slept in, were left at home.
Early in the morning, Xia Yuanzhou was still sleeping comfortably in the room, when he suddenly heard the sound of renovation from next door. Xia Yuanzhou thought that the neighbor was moving, so he could only plug himself in a pair of earplugs. Unforeseen, the sound got louder and louder.
Xia Yuanzhou got up at once and confirmed that the sound came from next door. He took off his little night cap and walked out of the room angrily.
As soon as he went out, he saw several renovation workers emptying the next room.
--That was Shi Wei's room.
The room had been emptied and the designer was mapping out the new layout plan.
"What are you doing!" Xia Yuanzhou scolded unceremoniously, "Who told you to mess around with these things!"
The designer and the renovation worker looked at each other.
"It was Miss Xia who asked us to demolish this room and turn it into her cloakroom."
Miss Xia... Now the Xia Family only had Miss Xia, Xia Duoduo.
At this time, Xia Duoduo came from the next room with a facial mask.
"Yuanzhou, you’re awake? Auntie Zhou had prepared breakfast downstairs, go and eat!"
Xia Yuanzhou pointed at Shi Wei's room, "Why did you let them tear down Shi Wei's room?!"
Xia Duoduo was shocked, not understanding why Xia Yuanzhou was so angry. Still, she immediately reddened her eyes to show her grievance, "Shi Wei...hasn't she been gone for a long time? The cloakroom in my room isn’t sufficient, so I thought of connecting these two rooms and when Shi Wei comes back, she’ll sleep upstairs. This is perfect, a cloakroom can be made for her!"
Xia Yuanzhou was furious, "Since it’s such a good idea, why don't you move to the third floor yourself and turn your room into Shi Wei’s cloakroom?!"
"My room is in a good location!" Xia Duoduo said as a matter of course, "How can you use my room as a cloakroom?"
Xia Yuanzhou choked.
Because Xia Duoduo's words were too righteous, he didn't know how to refute for a while.
They were all rooms in the villa, but they were different in size, area and orientation.
Xia Duoduo lived in the best room in the Xia’s house at the beginning.
After Shi Wei came back, a leftover was chosen for her.
How good could the leftover room be?
If a cloakroom was needed, it was indeed more appropriate to connect Shi Wei's room to make a cloakroom than turning Xia Duoduo's room into a cloakroom.
Still, Xia Yuanzhou felt irked.
The logic was reasonable, but the problem was present from the beginning.
"You should move to the third floor!" Xia Yuanzhou glared at Xia Duoduo angrily, "The room you sleep in should have belonged to Shi Wei!"
"Pa——" Xia Duoduo slapped Xia Yuanzhou in the face.
She herself didn't expect it. Xia Yuanzhou didn't expect it even more.
A clear five-finger mark appeared on the boy's fair cheek. Like waking from a dream, Xia Yuanzhou stared at Xia Duoduo in a daze.
Perhaps this was Xia Duoduo's true face.
He had never really known this elder sister.
There was a sound of footsteps at the stairs. When Mother Xia came back from shopping, she saw Xia Yuanzhou and Xia Duoduo confronting each other as soon as she went upstairs.
Xia Duoduo's eyes widened slowly. She immediately grabbed Xia Yuanzhou's sleeve, pleadingly stared at him and her deer eyes seemed to say, "Don't say it!"
But Xia Yuanzhou's heart had already cooled down.
He shook off Xia Duoduo's hand without hesitation.
He was about to report to Mother Xia that Xia Duoduo had demolished Shi Wei’s room, but Mother Xia dropped the limited edition bag she had bought in a worried state and rushed to Xia Duoduo like crazy without even glancing at Xia Yuanzhou.
"Duoduo, what's wrong? Who bullied you? Why are you crying?" Xia Yuanzhou turned around and saw Mother Xia hugging Xia Duoduo. Xia Duoduo's pitiful little face was covered with tears, which were like pearls falling one by one. "Mom, don't blame Yuanzhou, it's all my fault. I was thinking since Shi Wei isn’t back and maybe she is angry that you all went to the hospital to see me on the night of the engagement and ran away from home. Didn't Shi Wei always like my room? I asked someone to open up my room and use it as a cloakroom for her, while I move to the third floor. But Yuanzhou may have misunderstood, so we had a fight..."
"My good daughter!" Mother Xia stroked Xia Duoduo's head with pity, "Why are you so sensible! You don't have to give your room to Shi Wei. Let her go to the third floor to choose a big room. Our house is so big, how can we lack a room? "
Xia Yuanzhou's face turned green with anger, "Xia Duoduo! That's not what you said now! You obviously want to tear down Shi Wei's room and use it as your cloakroom!"
"Didn't Duoduo already explain!" Mother Xia scolded unceremoniously, "You misunderstood. Now that everything has been explained clearly, why are you still making a fuss? Duoduo is your elder sister, why are you being so disrespectful!"
Xia Yuanzhou felt that Xia Duoduo and Mother Xia were simply unreasonable.
This matter wasn't his fault at all. It was obviously Xia Duoduo who wanted to occupy the magpie's nest. Not only did he get slapped, he was also scolded by Mother Xia. In the end, it all became his fault?
Xia Yuanzhou felt extremely wronged and wanted to explain but had no place to refute.
It was that in this situation, Xia Yuanzhou felt that it seemed not to be the first time he had encountered it.
It had been like this before, but the involved parties weren’t him and Xia Duoduo, but Xia Duoduo and Shi Wei. He and his mother rushed forward without hesitation to appease Xia Duoduo and scold Shi Wei, not giving Shi Wei a chance to refute.
Perhaps Shi Wei refuted, but for some reason, he was like his mother, only feeling distressed for Xia Duoduo.
At that time, Shi Wei was full of grievances, like himself now?
Xia Yuanzhou was only aggrieved this time.
But Shi Wei had been wronged for four years.
The slap mark on his face was still burning and painful. Xia Yuanzhou didn't want to argue with Xia Duoduo anymore, so he turned around and left the Xia Family.
Behind him, Mother Xia chided, "Why did this child leave like that?! Like Shi Wei, he is getting more and more insensible!"
-
Xia Yuanzhou didn't know where to go.
For the past 20 years, he always stuck to Xia Duoduo and Xia Duoduo was put first in everything.
Even when he started playing games, it was because Xia Duoduo was bad at games and he started playing to take her with him. Unexpectedly, he became an esports player.
But Xia Duoduo's game level was still poor.
Shi Wei was different. In the past, she occasionally played games with Xia Yuanzhou. Her hand speed was average, but her operation awareness and overall view were solid. She could clearly remember how many skills she used, how many mana bars and health bars were left, and she could use a recovery skill to Xia Yiwen at critical moments.
With Shi Wei, he wouldn’t necessarily lose even when fighting against esports players.
So when playing games, Xia Yuanzhou would feel that Shi Wei was his biological elder sister.
Well, in fact, no matter when, she was his biological elder sister.
It was that she didn't want to recognize him now.
Xia Yuanzhou drove his Porsche and unknowingly came to the vicinity of Sheng Family's Manor.
It was at Sheng Family's Manor that day that his family left Shi Wei behind.
When thinking about it now, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.
It was still early. When Xia Yuanzhou came to the main road near Sheng Family's Manor, he saw a Bentley slowly driving out of the manor.
It was Sheng Jingchen's car.
When the car was about to speed up as it drove out of the manor, Sheng Jingchen received a call and the car suddenly slowed down again.
Not long after, a Rolls-Royce drove out of the manor.
Shi Wei, wearing home clothes, jumped down from the Rolls-Royce and handed Sheng Jingchen a thermos can.
"...This is the stomach-nourishing congee I made. If your stomach is uncomfortable, don't eat takeout at noon. Have some congee!"
Sheng Jingchen looked surprised.
He just had a sudden video conference with an overseas company and got delayed in the study. He thought Shi Wei had gone back to her room to catch up on sleep, but instead she went to the kitchen to cook congee.
Sheng Jingchen's heart suddenly softened and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
Shi Wei scratched her head.
She didn't know why she cooked congee for Sheng Jingchen. Maybe she cooked congee every time Xia Yuanzhou had a stomach ache. She had gotten into a habit of it?
Although Sheng Jingchen was Xia Duoduo's in the end, whether in fiction or in reality, Sheng Jingchen treated her well during the engagement period.
It was only natural that the fiancée would cook congee when the fiancé had a stomach ache!
Sheng Jingchen's voice softened a bit, "The engagement was too hasty before and I haven't introduced my family to you yet. Grandfather told me to take you back to the old house tonight."
Shi Wei blinked.
Wasn't this the legendary meeting the parents? !
There was no such content about this in the novel!
When the engagement was confirmed, Shi Wei met Grandmother Sheng once. Now, Grandmother Sheng had passed away. Youngest Uncle who wanted seized power was exiled to Africa by Sheng Jingchen. Shi Wei had no effect on the Sheng Family.
At this time, Grandfather Sheng actually asked to meet Shi Wei?
Shi Wei was worried: "When I get to the old house, will Grandfather Sheng give me five million and get me leave you?"
Sheng Jingchen: ? ? ?
"What are you thinking about?" Sheng Jingchen smiled bitterly. Five million was truly looking down on people!
"It's okay!" Shi Wei's eyes were firm, "Elder Brother Jingchen, don't worry, even if Grandfather gives me five million, I will never leave you!"
Sheng Jingchen narrowed his eyes and didn't comment on this sentence.
Soon, he heard Shi Wei secretly say to the system, "I will definitely throw five million on Old Mister Sheng, anger him to death, and make ten million from him! Hehe!"
Sheng Jingchen: "..."
Sure enough.
As expected of her!
After delivering the thermos, Sheng Jingchen got on the Bentley and left the Sheng’s house to go to the company.
The Sheng Family manor was so big that it took ten minutes or so to run from the villa to the entrance.
Shi Wei got into the Rolls-Royce and planned to go home to catch up on some sleep.
Suddenly, a Porsche rushed in front of the Rolls-Royce, blocking Shi Wei's way.
Shi Wei saw Xia Yuanzhou get off the Porsche.
Just now, Xia Yuanzhou's Porsche was parked at the side, watching Shi Wei quietly.
When he saw her handing the thermos with stomach-nourishing congee to Sheng Jingchen, he felt sad and irked.
He used to be treated like this.
Now, there was nothing.
Xia Yuanzhou took out a box of mango cake from the back seat of the car and came to Shi Wei.
"Shi Wei, don't be angry, okay? Elder Brother and I know we were wrong. Come home with me, okay?"
Shi Wei looked at the box Xia Yuanzhou handed over coldly, "What is this?"
"Mango cake... an apology. I don't know what you like."
Shi Wei opened the box and saw the cake decorated with mangoes inside, and laughed to herself.
Even Sheng Jingchen, her fiancé who had only met her a few times, knew that she was allergic to mangoes, but Xia Yuanzhou didn't know?
Xia Yuanzhou himself was allergic to mangoes!
"You have mixed up my likes with Xia Duoduo!" Shi Wei sneered, "Xia Duoduo likes to eat mangoes, but I don't. I am allergic to mangoes like you."
Xia Yuanzhou's eyes widened instantly.
Allergic to mangoes? But he clearly remembered that Shi Wei ate a big bite on her birthday last year!
No, last year on her birthday, Shi Wei didn't want to eat cake.
It was Mother who said, "We specially prepared a birthday party for you, why are you so insensible? You don't even eat a bite of cake?"
Then, Shi Wei took a big bite of cake.
What was she thinking at that time?
How was she feeling?
Xia Yuanzhou knew how serious the allergy would be after eating mango. He might even suffocate and need to go to the hospital for an IV drip.
His nose was sour.
How did Shi Wei solve it on her own? Go to the hospital alone and get an IV drip alone?
He didn't know that Shi Wei was allergic to mangoes, but Shi Wei remembered it clearly.
Xia Yuanzhou hurriedly stuffed the mango cake into the back seat and stood in front of Shi Wei again, "Shi Wei, tell me what you want to eat. I'll take you there! You can tell me what you don't like and I won't make such a mistake again!"
"Xia Yuanzhou, you don't have to do this." Shi Wei's voice was clear and cold, "In the first 18 years, we were strangers and you never knew that you had an elder sister like me. Now, return to the previous state."
"How can that be! You are my biological sister!" Xia Yuanzhou couldn't control his tears and his tears flowed down, "You are my biological sister! Why should we be strangers!"
"You feel unaccustomed because of the parting," Shi Wei sighed, "Before I returned to the Xia Family, weren't you fine? The emotions of the wealthy are inherently weaker than those of ordinary families, get used to it."
"I won't get used to it!" Xia Yuanzhou said hurriedly. He had seen through Xia Duoduo's hypocritical face. He knew that he had been deceived for twenty years. He didn't want to go back to the previous state.
But whether Xia Yuanzhou was used to it or not was no longer something Shi Wei cared about.
Shi Wei didn't continue to argue with Xia Yuanzhou. She closed the window of the Rolls-Royce and drove into the manor.
Xia Yuanzhou wanted to chase her, but the security guard came out in time and stopped Xia Yuanzhou outside the manor.
A gate blocked the pair of siblings.
It seemed that the distance was only a few dozen meters, but Xia Yuanzhou felt that the distance between him and Shi Wei was getting farther and farther.
-
Afterwards, Xia Yuanzhou returned to the Xia Family carrying the mango cake.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard Mother Xia nagging softly, "Why does my back hurt again? Oh, if Shi Wei is here, it would be great. She can massage me."
Shi Wei had always been well-behaved at home. Not only did she help Xia Yuanzhou cook congee, every time Mother Xia came back from going out, she would massage Mother Xia. She used to massage Grandmother Shi on holidays, so her technique was good.
After Shi Wei left, Mother Xia felt that she went to the Chinese medicine clinic more often. Those old Chinese medicine practitioners may have better techniques than Shi Wei, but somehow, they weren’t as comfortable as Shi Wei's massage.
"You are already this big. Why is she running away from home!" Mother Xia pinched her back, "When she comes back, I must have a good talk with her!"
Xia Yuanzhou listened to Mother's scolding and his blood ran cold from his fingertips to his heart.
Perhaps, it was a good thing that Shi Wei didn’t come back.
When she came back, she had to cook congee for him, massage Mother, arrange flowers for Xia Yiwen and Father Xia, and even endure Xia Duoduo.
It was much better outside. Young Master Sheng was willing to give her the best car in the garage and gifted her such a good manor without hesitation. The servants of the whole manor were serving her.
The sky was high and the sea was vast. The Xia Family and blood ties may be a prison to imprison her.
