It was not just the upco up — which primary school he went to, which secondary school he went to, and what jobs he did on construction sites All these things of the past had been al it all out, and added their versions to newspapers as well as on the internet
After these stories were published, the people then found out that Xia Lei had been born a regular, poor boy who had to give up on studying in Jingdu University for the sake of raising his younger sister However, in a short span of two, three years, he had risen fast in the world, and become a billionaire He had also become a hero of the people, loved by many He had both fame and fortune, and his life was like an inspirational drama, like an instructional textbook for parents to educate their children with
The reporters did not forget about Shentu Tianyin, of course, but her story was olden key in her hand, and studied abroad She had then taken over the reins of Vientaine Group after her father fell ill, beco the queen of Vientaine Group She had no scandals, and if one dug for them, one would only be able to unearth the “possible fiance and fiancee” act she had put on with Xia Lei in the past However, she actually was going to marry Xia Lei now, so how could that old news be considered a scandal?
Nearly all of the— a perfect pair
The wedding was set for the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month, and it was the date Shentu Ren had chosen
Xia Lei turned up in Haizhu City on the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month He wanted to burn an incense stick to his late , to let her know This was also a custom is his hometown
Xia Xue went to the cemetery with Xia Lei too She carried a bouquet of fresh flowers, and Xia Lei carried a large bag of hell ht from the shop which sold traditional ite and shoes
The siblings carave, and Xia Lei lit incense sticks, then burnt the joss-paper and hell money
“Brother and I have come to visit you, Mum” Xia Xue’s voice was full of sadness
Xia Lei burnt joss-paper as he said, “Mudu University, and she has good grades I’ well too You don’t have to worry about us”
“Mum, Brother has made much of himself He’s now the director of Thunder Horse Group, and a hero of the nation You’ll be happy in heaven too” Xia Xue’s eyes held tears, but the corners of herthe joss-paper and knelt on the ground to ko to hismarried tohter-in-laould offer you at the tea cere Festival, and kneel and serve tea to you Would you like that?”
A wind blew past, and the pine tree next to the grave swayed, rustling This sound was like a reply from his mother
This wind stirred up the memories of his mother, and Xia Lei’s eyesin the huoodbye, leaving kith and kin behind
“If only Dad were still around He would be happy for you, for sure,” said Xia Xue
“Dad, he…” Xia Lei was about to say so, but he sed the words he was about to say
“What do you want to say, Brother?” Xia Xue looked at Xia Lei
“I still have no news of him, but I believe that he is alive, somewhere”
Xia Xue shook her head and said sadly, “No need to co alive is sliotten used to life without Dad, and I only miss him occasionally I feel sad then”
Xia Lei patted her shoulder, but said nothing
If his father, Xia Changhe, had been an ordinary anisation, he would have told Xia Xue the truth However, she was just a university student, and telling her the truth would only bring her untold danger, and no benefit at all
“Brother, Sister-in-law should have come with us today She should ko to Mum,” said Xia Xue
“Your sister-in-law is not like nor to invitations and handle the weddingDidn’t I say that I would bring her here to ko and pour tea for Mu Festival?”
Xia Xue quirked her lips “Yes, yes, you protect sister-in-law I’ll have tough days ahead of hed “What nonsense are you saying in front of Muical, and she won’t bully you I’ll hit her if she bullies you”
“Cheh, lies Would you bear to hit Sister-in-law? You would definitely hit h”
“Of course I’ll hit you when you’re disobedient”
“Look, look! You’re letting your true colours sho” Xia Xue pulled a face “Did you hear that, Mu me!”
The wind blew, and the pine tree rustled
The siblings’ bickering before the grave added to the joviality of the place If theirwhen she saw the down the path in the tomb area She was dressed plainly, but she was tall and sexy She walked towards the siblings, chewing guum?
Xia Lei was immediately alert His left eye twitched, and he focused on the woman’s face He sahite woman in the next second, and he stared dumbly when he saho it was
The woman slowed her steps
“Xue, your Sister Ruyi invited us to her place for a meal Drive my car back first, and help her out,” said Xia Lei
“I want to stay here with Muo back with you?” said Xia Xue
“Be good, and go back” Xia Lei’s tone grew stern
