Chapter 14: The Afterimage of a Teenager
"They want me dead, you can't save me."
"If there is a chance, I would like to give up everything here. But, I can't help myself, I can't help myself."
"Brother, I don't want to rot in the gutter. My birthday wish this year is to watch the sunset again."
The severe headache woke Xi Tian up from his sleep. He rubbed his forehead and sat up on the bed, then reached for the painkiller beside the pillow without thinking.
After taking the painkiller, Xi Tian took out the ointment from the medicine box and applied it on himself with ease. The palm of his hand was pinched with blood red by the nails, and the gracefully curved nails were all broken.
Watching the sunset again, what a simple wish.
If he had that ability at that time, maybe he could fulfill his last wish. Looking at the morning light outside the window, Xi Tian smiled wryly.
Phone rings, glances at caller ID - ELINA
"President, good morning. I specially called to remind you of the special itinerary this morning - the jade exhibition held by the CK Chamber of Commerce. There is still half an hour before the exhibition, and I am already on my way to pick you up. I will be there in 5 minutes. Please hurry up Pack yourself up."
Before Xi Tian could say a word, ELINA had already hung up the phone.
In fact, ELINA arrived at the Xi family's main house 3 minutes later, and at this moment, Xi Tian was wearing suit pants in the bedroom.
ELINA kicked Xi Tian's room door unambiguously, and was honored to receive Xi Tian's peachy smile, which was full of provocative meaning.
"I haven't put on a tie yet. President, do you want to continue your usual lateness?"
ELINA quickly pulled out a tie that matched Xi Tian's dress style from the tie cabinet: "President, keep the tie and wear it on the bus. The journey takes 10 minutes. There is breakfast on the bus, and you can eat on the bus. If you delay, We'll just have to fly the helicopter."
Three minutes later, Xi Tian was pushed into a black car by the omnipotent female secretary ELINA.
After 15 minutes, the convoy arrived at the venue.
The black sedan was followed by three ghostly black motorhomes, each manned by six well-trained bodyguards.
The word "ostentation" refers to momentum.
The reporter had already been waiting outside the magnificent venue. As soon as the bodyguard opened the door of the black car, flashing lights ran after Xi Tian.
After tidying up his clothes, Xi Tian stepped out of the car door, with a cynical smile on his face, it was the son of the Xi family who dominated the business world again.
The bodyguard separated the reporter and opened a way for Xi Tian.
Entering the main venue, ELINA handed Xi Tian a glass of sparkling mineral water and disappeared without a trace.
The so-called jade trade show is nothing more than gambling on stones in the name of the CK Chamber of Commerce. People in all walks of life also need this opportunity to make friends with the upstarts in the circle.
Seeing a person head on, Xi Tian put on a handsome smile and said hello.
"I didn't expect you to be interested in this. I thought the young master of the Xi family was only interested in playing flowers."
"I also thought that Mr. Duan's family was only willing to wink everywhere." Xi Tian's words were exchanged for Duan Nanshu's faint smile, which was two points arrogant, three points noble, and the remaining five points, full of confusion.
Stunning, none better than the heir apparent of the Duan family.How many women and men have given up everything just for Bo Duan Nanshu's affection, but it's a pity that Duan Nanshu is naturally fickle, even those little feelings can't be separated from others.
"Tonight, I believe it will be very exciting." With an ambiguous smile, Duan Nanshu raised his glass: "I respect you."
Slowly raised his chin, drank it in one gulp, and his movements were elegant and beautiful, which attracted the attention of most of the audience.
Xi Tian clearly saw a broken tooth mark reflected on the beautifully curved white neck.
"My omnipotent female secretary seems to have been seduced by Mr. Han and left. I heard that she went to the rest room." Xi Tian pursed his lips and smiled innocently.
"Really?" Duan Nanshu asked softly, completely out of the way.
"My ELINA likes this kind of youthful and sunny boy the most, she can throw him down and eat him at any time."
"She doesn't have the guts." Duan Nanshu turned his gaze slightly to the side, and saw a man and a woman walking around the corner in the center of the venue. It was ELINA and Han Ziyue who disappeared at the beginning of the exhibition.
"Hooked up and made adultery, my ELINA actually lost her innocence." Xi Tian continued to bombard her with words.He covered his face with his hands, making that expression that was so beautiful that I didn't want to see it.Covering his face with his damaged fingers, beautifully curved peach blossom eyes were revealed between his fingers, his bright black eyes blinked in the direction of the two of them twice, his movements were jerky and cute.
"Don't be cute, I'm afraid I can't help but strangle you to death, kid." It's a well-known fact that Duan Nanshu is a pervert.The more cute things I see, the more I can't help but sex them.
Xi Tian thought silently in his heart, no wonder Han Ziyue always had bruises on his face, it seemed that this pervert pinched him.
"Excuse me, if you stand together for too long, people will misunderstand that I am also a perverted glass man." Xi Tian smiled more innocently than innocently, and disappeared in front of Duan Nanshu two seconds later.
One minute later, ELINA stood beside Xi Tian and said softly, "President, I saw Song Xieyi in the 1 lounge."
Song Xieyi, an upstart in the business circle, lives up to his name, with a romantic temperament and a romantic personality. He is over 20 years old and has just made his mark in the business world.
He is the newcomer that the elders of the Xi family want to win over, but the Xi family has never been able to find a chance to meet him.
"President, the company's centennial celebration is coming soon, can you take this opportunity to invite Mr. Song to meet and talk?" Elina asked.
Xi Tian stretched out his left hand, and ELINA immediately presented the invitation.
The number of times Mr. Xi's family invites guests in person is very rare, and Song Xieyi must not refuse.
Taking a look at Han Ziyue standing beside Duan Nanshu with a deep gaze beyond his age, Xi Tian walked towards the lounge.
The moment ELINA raised her eyes, she happened to see Xi Tian's expression in her eyes. She had always known that what the outside world called a business genius, but a son, was by no means simple.The flirtatious temperament is just a cover, and the blood of the Xi family is always flowing in the bones.Otherwise, she would not be willing to sacrifice all of herself for Xi Tian.
Along the long corridor, I came to lounge 102, stood outside the door, bent my fingers and prepared to knock on the door, and felt a little dizzy looking at the damaged nails.
Xi Tian blinked and knocked on the door.
After 30 seconds, the door was opened from the inside, and a beautiful woman stood in front of Xi Tian, showing him a delicate smile.
"Mr. Xi, please come in." The smile was very simple, erasing the usual formulas in the business world.
For Xi Tian, who reads newspapers all the time, it is not surprising that a woman he does not know calls out his last name.
Stepping into the lounge, what greets your eyes is a man resting with his eyes closed on the single sofa. His features are as beautiful as a landscape painting.
Song Xieyi opened her eyes, looking at Xi Tian with some doubts, and then became clear again.
In fact, the moment Song Xiyi opened his eyes and looked at him, Xi Tian's heart beat violently.
"Xi, God?" Song Xieyi asked word by word, with a tentative tone coupled with innocent eyes, which made people think of three words - naturally dumbfounded.
"I'm right here." Xi Tian stepped forward, reached out to hold Song Xieyi's hand, and then went straight in, handing over the invitation letter to Song Xieyi.
Song Xieyi took a look at the font drawn by the gold powder, took the invitation letter in his hand, and shook it gently.
"The weight is so heavy." He was referring to Xi Tian's affection for sending the invitation letter himself.
"It's good for Song Shao to show his face." Xi Tian showed a rare seriousness, and Song Xieyi gave him a very real feeling, making him want to treat each other with sincerity and courtesy.
Song Xieyi handed the invitation letter to SARA, asked SARA to keep it, and poured tea for Xi Tian with her own hands.
"Master Xi, aren't you tired from standing?" He raised his eyes, his clear face made Xi Tian feel a little dazed, and his heart ached.
"Forgive me for not being able to accompany you, we will make another appointment when we have time." Xi Tian's damaged nails subconsciously grabbed at the palm of his hand.
"It's better to meet by chance than to invite each other. It's rare to see Xi Shao..."
"I'm sorry, let's just leave it here." Before Song Xieyi finished speaking, Xi Tian turned and left.
He left the lounge as if fleeing, and walked towards the bathroom.
The young master of the Xi family, indulgent and romantic, has a graceful demeanor, and has never been so embarrassed.
Rinse the palm bleeding from the broken nail under cold water, and the water hits the opened flesh, causing bursts of pain.
He raised his head and saw the man behind him through the cold mirror.
Han Zi became more and more silent. At this moment, he was leaning his back against the clean and cool wall, turned his face slightly, and his eyes fell on Xi Tian.
"Calm down?" Han Ziyue asked with a cold voice.
"Master Han is so elegant that he actually peeped."
"A gentleman is magnanimous, and a villain is always close. I am the former."
"I never knew that a gentleman had a penchant for voyeurism."
"I am standing behind you frankly, you have to be clear about this."
"I don't know what Young Master Han wants to do standing behind me so openly?" Xi Tian turned around, his peachy eyes lingered on Han Ziyue playfully, with a frivolous attitude and a contemptuous expression.
"I just want to see, what exactly did you get from the Yin family?" Han Ziyue looked directly at Xi Tian, with sharp scrutiny in his eyes, unstoppable.
"As you can see, it's extravagant and coquettish." The signature smile hung on his face, and under the dim light of the bathroom, he looked even more elegant and handsome.
"Xi Tian, don't try to hypnotize yourself. The boy who died at the age of 12 has always been in your heart. Ten years ago, the entire Ling family was destroyed. As the only heir of the Xi family, you were forced to stay in Fang Qi, There is no right to choose at all. After ten years, do you still choose to continue to assist the Yin family? Are you worthy of Ling Liang who was dismembered and flowed into the sea?" After finishing speaking flatly, Han Zi smiled slightly, proudly.
I want to watch the sunrise again.
Ling Liang's words lingered in his ears again, watching the sunrise again, what a simple wish.
But in the end, he still left this world with regrets, and suffered...
"Han Ziyue, it's my right to do what I want." After recovering, Xi Tian coldly threw out a sentence with a bone-chilling chill in his words.
"Don't wrong your conscience." After leaving a word, Han Ziyue turned and left.
Xi Tian sneered at himself reflected in the cold mirror.
He was the same age as Ling Liang when the Ling family was wiped out.
At the age of 12, he didn't have any power to stop what the Xi family and the Yin family were going to do together. At that time, he hated, hated this bottomless cage that seemed to never escape from birth.
However, hate, what can solve it?From the moment he was born, he had no escape.
At the age of 14, in the bitter cold wind, in front of the bleak tombstone, under the eyes of all the hall masters, he was forced to make a solemn oath: he will not rebel against Fangqi in this life, otherwise he will be hacked by thousands of knives and left dead on the street. The direct bloodlines are connected, and the ancestors humiliated the corpse on the spot.
At the age of 16, he left his hometown to study business abroad and met the rich and powerful.That year, he met Yin Xingchen for the first time.
At the age of 18, he returned from his studies and participated in Fang Qi's affairs.
At the age of 20, he officially took over all the affairs of Fang Qi, and was responsible for secretly assisting the Yin family of TX.
Xi Tian had been trying his best to pretend, but under Han Ziyue's words, he fell apart.
I don't want to wrong my conscience, but there is no trace and nowhere to escape.
I can only continue on this road with guilt and guilt.
