I Married the Second Male Lead After Reincarnating

  Although Xia Zhengguo's birthday banquet was fully entrusted to Xia Sen, Xia Zimu took the time to supervise it, in case Xia Sen did something wrong.

  However, Xia Zimu didn't find any problems during the process.

  From the selection of ingredients to the layout of the banquet scene, Xia Sen did everything by himself, as if he really wanted to organize the birthday banquet.

   On the day of the birthday party, Xia Zimu asked for leave and went to the hospital to pick up Xia Zhengguo back to his old house.

  When Xia Zimu entered the ward, Xia Zhengguo had already changed his clothes and was packing his things.

  The doctor said a few days ago that Xia Zhengguo could be discharged from the hospital, Xia Zimu was worried and let him stay until today before leaving.

  She walked over and put down the fruit basket in his hand, "Grandpa, you are in good health, just leave these things to others."

   "It's okay, the doctor told me that I should exercise more when I'm fine, and pack up my things. It's the amount of exercise today."

  Xia Zimu couldn't hold him back, so he could only help together.

  There are not many things to pack, so pack up. The two got into the car together.

  Xia Zhengguo stayed in the hospital for more than half a year, and finally left here today, in a good mood, chatting and laughing with his granddaughter along the way.

  When the two arrived at the old house, it was just noon, and the Xia Sen family had already prepared meals and waited for them.

  At the dinner table, Xia Sen asked Xia Zhengguo about his next plan: "Uncle, you are in good health now, do you want to go back to work in the company?"

  Xia Zhengguo nodded, "Well, I haven't worked for half a year, so I should go back. It's been a hard time for you and Qingyang."

  Xia Sen's eyes flashed an imperceptible sternness, and his smile was gentle, "Everywhere, it's a family, I should do it."

  Xia Nianwei who was on the side suddenly said, "Grandpa and Sister Mumu are going to move back to the old house in the future?"

  Xia Zhengguo didn't hear the slight dissatisfaction in her tone, and said with a smile, "Yes. During the time I was hospitalized, did Nian Wei miss Grandpa Uncle?"

  Xia Nianwei didn't answer, she was quiet for a while, and couldn't help whispering: "Why did you move here? This is obviously my home now..."

   There was only the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding at the dining table. Although her voice was small, it was still heard by everyone present.

The smile on Xia Zhengguo's face faded away, Xia Zimu raised his eyelids and looked at Xia Nianwei, "Your home? But I remember that this old house was allocated to my parents twenty years ago. Nianwei, you said that, Could it be that you want to **** the old house?"

  Xia Nianwei saw that her little thoughts had been discovered, so she stopped covering it up, "Your parents have been dead for so many years, and you are going to marry again. Sooner or later, this house will belong to my brother. Isn't this my house?"

  When mentioning his parents, Xia Zimu's eyes suddenly became sharp. "Xia Nianwei, didn't your father teach you how to be polite? Believe it or not, I kicked you out?"

   "This is my home, why did you kick me out?"

  Xia Zimu put down his chopsticks, didn't talk nonsense to her, and called out, "Housekeeper, please 'invite' Xia Nianwei out."

  The servants in the old house have been with Xia Zhengguo for more than ten years, everyone knows who to listen to.

  The butler responded, and walked over to Laxia Nianwei.

  Xia Nianwei said sharply: "You dog, figure out who is the master! If you dare to touch me, I will ask my dad to throw you out!"

  The housekeeper ignored her and raised one of her hands, "Miss Nianwei, I offended you."

  Xia Sen saw that Xia Zimu was really coming, so he quickly stopped the housekeeper, and said to Xia Zimu, "Mumu, Nianwei is young, and it's normal to make a mistake or two. You're an older sister, so don't bother with her."

   "If I remember correctly, Xia Nianwei is almost 22 years old, right?" Xia Zimu's exquisite eyebrows were slightly sarcasm, "It's the first time I've seen a 22-year-old kid."

  Xia Sen choked, and looked at Xia Zhengguo for help.

  Xia Zhengguo waved his hand, "Forget it."

  Hearing this, the housekeeper let go of Xia Nianwei and stepped aside.

  Xia Nian slightly twisted the arm that was held by the butler just now, and complained: "A poor butler, to treat me like this, is really an unfamiliar dog..."

  Xia Zimu gave her a sideways glance, Xia Nian shuddered slightly, and closed her mouth.

  After lunch, Xia Sen invited a good makeup artist to come to the door in advance, Xia Zimu went upstairs and brought the makeup artist into his room.

  The furnishing of the room is the same as when she left, without any change.

  When Xia Nianwei moved in, she wanted to occupy her room, but was stopped by the housekeeper.

  The old house was vacant before. Although Xia Sen's family was allowed to move in, they were not allowed to enter the rooms of Xia Zhengguo and Xia Zimu.

  After Xia Zimu put on her makeup and changed into a dress, the makeup artist went to serve Xia Nianwei.

  Xia Zimu was the only one left in the room. She walked around the room and took out a small dusty box from under the bed.

   Find the key to open it, and inside is a handmade little puppet bear.

  The puppet bear is only the size of a palm, but the workmanship is very fine.

   This is what she received from Gu Huaixi ten years ago.

   That year her brother disappeared, and her parents went to country M in order to find someone, but they were involved in a terrorist attack.

  Xia Zhengguo took people to look for them, but only brought back their ashes.

  Parents passed away and her brother disappeared. She couldn't accept it at a young age, so she ran away from home, desperately trying to find her brother back.

   She thought, at least one should be kept.

  At that time, she didn't know how big the world was, and she stubbornly believed that as long as she kept walking, she would definitely be able to find her brother.

   After walking for an unknown amount of time, she was chased by vicious dogs and injured her leg. She fled into a manor in a hurry, where she met a sick and weak boy wearing half a golden feather mask.

  He showed her legs, made porridge for her, taught her to weave flower baskets, and finally, accompanied her to her parents' funeral.

  When her parents were buried, she rushed out of the scene in the rain, crying as she walked, bleeding from the unhealed wound on her leg, soaking the hem of her princess dress together with the rain.

  He just followed behind her, silently accompanying her for a long, long way.

  When she was in so much pain that she couldn't stand, he finally rushed over to hug her, patted her head tirelessly, comforted her, told her not to be afraid, he would protect her instead of her parents.

   This little bear was the one he gave her back then.

   But in the end, he didn't keep his promise to protect her.

  She was greedy for the warmth from the boy in the rain, so she asked someone to find out who the owner of the manor was.

  The man told her that it was the manor of the Gu family.

  At that time, Gu Huaixi, the young master of the Gu family, happened to be in the same class as her.

   Later, the eldest daughter of the Xia family in Yucheng became the follower of the young master of the Gu family.

  She missed the boy from that year and stubbornly followed Gu Huaixi for a full ten years.

   Finally, there is nothing left.

  The lie that the sentence would protect her instead of her parents has hurt her in her previous life.

   "Mumu, are you ready?"

   Xia Zhengguo knocked on the door, and Xia Zimu's thoughts were pulled back.

"Ready."

  Xia Zimu put the puppet bear back into the small box, hid it under the bed, put on a smile, opened the door and went out.
