Chapter 129 Do you know Shen Jun?
Xie Xubai did not return to the dormitory but turned around and went outside the school.
He couldn't tell what he was feeling, he just felt a little bored so he called Yang Zhiheng out for a drink.
It was rare for Xie Xubai to ask, so Yang Zhiheng was naturally willing. However, he was in the next city, and although it was not far to get here, it would still take some time.
But Xie Xubai didn't get to wait for Yang Zhiheng to arrive as he was called back by the housekeeper.
It was said that the master and his mistress had not seen the young master for a long time and missed him terribly, so they wanted Xie Xubai to go back and reunite with them.
Xie Xubai hesitated for a few seconds and decided to go home.
The Xie family’s villa halfway up the mountain was quite far from the school, and by the time he got home, almost an hour had passed.
As soon as he got out of the car, the butler came up to him and opened the door for him.
"Young Master," the butler called softly. Upon hearing that, Xie Xubai just nodded slightly to the butler to indicate that he understood.
Perhaps they heard the noise outside, Xie's father and mother poked their heads out from the living room and looked at Xie Xubai who was standing at the door.
"Dad, mom."
As soon as Xie Xubai called out for help, smiles broke out on the faces of the two elders, especially Xie's mother. Perhaps it was because she hadn't seen Xie Xubai for a long time, she hurriedly stood up and went forward to greet him.
"You ungrateful little bastard, are you willing to come back to see us? If your uncle Wang hadn't called you, would you not have planned to come back this semester?"
Xie's mother took Xie Xubai's arm and led them inside. Her tone was reproachful but she couldn't stop the smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
Father Xie looked at his wife, shook his head helplessly and said, "Zhiwei, he just came back, and you don't even know how to say a few nice words to him. What if he gets angry and runs away later?"
Xie Shengnian sat on the sofa and watched the mother and son walking towards him, but he couldn't stop smiling on his face.
The two were naturally happy that Xie Xubai came back, and immediately ordered someone to prepare a table of Xie Xubai's favorite food.
While waiting for the food, the two of them chatted with Xie Xubai about family matters, but most of the time it was Chen Zhiwei who asked the questions and Xie Xubai who answered, while Xie Shengnian was just there to listen.
Only after Chen Zhiwei had asked most of her questions did Xie Shengnian mention Xie Xubai's studies.
Speaking of studying, Xie Shengnian thought of the list of scholarship grants that the group had sent him today that the group had set up for University A this year.
Originally there were three people, but later someone reported that one of the students had misbehavior, so the list was reported to the group's White Bull Box to see what the group had to say.
After all, the money was paid by the group, and when Xie provided funding, he clearly stated that the student must have good moral character, so the school attached great importance to it.
Thanks to Xie's decades of hard work in the industry, the company not only has good treatment but also humane management.
Therefore, many students graduating from University A choose to work for Xie's. Among all companies, Xie's offers the best probationary salary and regular employee benefits.
Although the students did not know that the sponsor behind this scholarship was Xie's, almost everyone in Xie Xubai's major knew about it, and most of the people who received this scholarship were hired by Xie's High-Tech after graduation.
Therefore, the competition for scholarships has become fierce. Of course, Xie’s funding is not limited to this one item. Almost every college has a scholarship established by Xie.
Firstly, it is also to reserve talents for the group in advance. Secondly, Chen Zhi and Xie Shengnian earned their first pot of gold in life with the support of various scholarships, so they are very happy to do so.
Although others did not know about Xie's funding, Xie Xubai knew it clearly, so he never thought about competing, even though he was among the top.
"Xu Bai, do you know a boy named Shen Jun?" Perhaps he just happened to think of this incident, so Xie Shengnian mentioned it casually.
When Xie Xubai heard Shen Jun's name, his body froze for a moment but then returned to normal.
"I know him. He's my roommate. Why are you asking about him suddenly?" Xie Xubai said, looking up at Xie Shengnian.
I don’t know when it started, but Xie Shengnian’s temples have already started to show some silver hair, and he doesn’t look as energetic as before.
"Ah, it's like this. The scholarship that the group sponsored for your college was reported today. I saw someone reported him for misconduct. It seems that he is in the same class as you, so I wanted to ask you what kind of person he is."
Xie Shengnian seemed to have just mentioned it casually and didn't really want to know. After all, it was college, and it was normal for people in the same class to be unfamiliar with each other.
"He is a very good person and has no bad behavior. He was probably framed." Xie Xubai said in an affirmative tone.
Xie Shengnian was a little curious when he said that, "From your tone, it seems like you are quite familiar with him?"
"Not very familiar with each other, we live in the same dormitory. You know I have a house outside and don't often go back to the dormitory, but every time I go back, he is in the library. In the dormitory, he is also studying. You can rest assured about his behavior."
Xie Xubai said he was serious, and Xie Shengnian also kept this matter in mind. If it was really as Xie Xubai said, he would not easily wrongly accuse the child.
The meal was ready and served on the table. The housekeeper came over and called the family of three to eat.
There was a large table full of delicious dishes. Chen Zhiwei kept putting food into Xie Xubai's bowl, fearing that he would not be full.
Xie Shengnian just looked at the two of them, eating his meal silently with a smile in his eyes, and occasionally helping the mother and daughter pick up some dishes.
They had a very enjoyable meal, and at the end Chen Zhiwei and Xie Shengnian let Xie Xubai stay at their home.
Tomorrow is the weekend and there are no classes at school. Xie Xubai hesitated for a moment but finally agreed.
Seeing that her son was going to live at home, Chen Zhiwei was extremely happy. She hurriedly asked Uncle Wang to clean Xie Xubai's room and replace the bedding with new ones. She also said that she wanted to find the teddy bear that Xie Xubai used to hold when he slept when he was a child.
When Xie Xubai heard the little bear, his face suddenly changed, and he called Chen Zhiwei helplessly to remind her that he had grown up and there was no need to sleep with the bear in his arms.
Chen Zhiwei didn't take it seriously. She just smiled and said to him, "When I first brought you home, you always had nightmares. Your dad and I were busy and didn't have time to accompany you. If it weren't for our little bear, I don't know how many little pearls you would have shed!"
As Chen Zhiwei was talking, Xie Shengnian, who was sitting next to her, chuckled and said, "Yeah, our Xu Bai was a crybaby when he was little. We thought you would stick to us forever, but we didn't expect you to be so distant from us right after entering college~"
The two elders joked, and Xie Xubai could only smile helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'll stick to you forever, the kind that you can't get rid of."
As he spoke, he opened his arms and took the two elders into his arms, and the family of three immediately burst into laughter.
Although Xie Xubai said no, when he entered the room he still saw the almost two-meter-long brown bear lying on his bed.
After washing up, Xie Xubai wanted to go out to get some water, but before he went downstairs, he heard an old couple who had not yet gone to bed chatting in the living room.
His steps paused instantly. He heard Chen Zhiwei sigh deeply and say to Xie Shengnian, "It would be great if Rui'er was still here... What a pity..."
Chen Zhiwei's voice was a little choked, and Xie Shengnian quickly pulled her into his arms, hugged her and comforted her softly.
Xie Xubai was listening on the stairs. His expression froze for a moment, then returned to normal.
The next afternoon after dinner, just as Xie Shengnian was about to pull Xie Xubai aside for a chat, he was interrupted by a phone call from Yang Zhiheng.
Yang Zhiheng said that he came a long way to see Xie Xubai but was stood up by him, and he insisted that Xie Xubai pick him up.
Xie Xubai was so annoyed by him that he had no choice but to ask Uncle Wang to call a driver to pick up the young master.
Along the way, no one knew what Xie Xubai was thinking. He just stared out the window silently without saying a word.
The sky was sunny as if it was about to burst into fire in the afternoon, but now a few strong winds blew and it started to rain.
The dark clouds hung low in the sky, looking as if they would fall down at any time, which was a bit suffocating.
The raindrops gradually became bigger. Xie Xubai looked at the raindrops hitting the window and felt a bad premonition in his heart.
"Drive faster." He just said this, and the driver in front immediately sped up.
The car was traveling in the rainy night, and safety had to be taken into consideration no matter how fast it went. Therefore, when Xie Xu picked up Yang Zhiheng, more than an hour had passed.
Xie Xubai did not get out of the car. He just called Yang Zhiheng in the car to tell him his current location and asked him to find it himself.
Yang Zhiheng didn't care. After hanging up the phone, he walked in the direction Xie Xubai said. He saw a black car parked on the side of the road. After confirming the license plate number, Yang Zhiheng opened the car door and got in.
"It's raining so heavily," Yang Zhiheng sighed. Xie Xubai didn't even raise his eyebrows when he heard it. He just lowered his head and looked at his mobile phone.
Seeing that he didn't care about his clothes but only remembered his appearance, Yang Zhiheng immediately got angry and pretended to be angry and said, "Old Xie, you are really heartless. I came all the way to find you and you just ignored me, right?"
After hearing what he said, Xie Xubai raised his head and looked at him, "When did you, Young Master Yang, fall to the point of having to take a train?"
"...I did something stupid and got kicked out by my dad, haha." Yang Zhiheng laughed dryly.
Yang Zhiheng is the only son in the Yang family. He has been spoiled since he was a child. After he became an adult, he became more and more unwilling to be disciplined by his family. He often secretly runs away to start a business with others, hoping to make a career that will impress his father.
It's a pity... Yang Zhiheng is a man with bad luck. He hasn't made any money so far, and has lost a lot of his family's money.
Even though his family had a company, he refused to take it and insisted on going out to work on his own, which caused Xie's father to scold him a lot.
"How much did you lose this time?" Xie Xubai asked after putting away his phone.
Yang Zhiheng leaned back somewhat dejectedly, looking at the rapidly changing scenery outside, but he spoke calmly.
"One hundred million."
Xie Xubai then turned around and looked at Yang Zhiheng, his eyes were as if he was looking at a...prodigal son.
"Uncle Yang just kicked you out?" The subtext was that it was good enough that you were not beaten to death.
Hearing this, Yang Zhiheng just raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, a little embarrassedly said: "Don't say it, when I earn the money in the future, I guarantee that he will be surprised to death. Recently, I have set my eyes on a foreign project..."
As soon as Yang Zhiheng started talking about his business, he immediately became talkative, without noticing that Xie Xubai beside him was already daydreaming and not listening to him at all.
Halfway through the drive, Yang Zhiheng asked Xie Xubai to borrow his cell phone to call his girlfriend to report he was safe - his cell phone had long been out of battery.
The young couple would talk endlessly. Xie Xubai thought that if he brought Yang Zhiheng back to the Xie family, the two elders would probably be kept awake tonight by his noise.
"Turn around and go to my apartment." Xie Xubai said this to the driver.
After arriving at the apartment, Xie Xubai called Chen Zhiwei again to explain the situation and said that he would not be going back that night.
Just after he finished speaking, his cell phone broke down because the battery was running low. As soon as Yang Zhiheng entered the room, he took the charger to charge his own phone. Xie Xubai didn't care and just let him do it.
The two had lived together since childhood and were accustomed to each other, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Xie Xubai took his clothes and went to take a shower.
Until the end, Xie Xubai's mobile phone was unable to be charged, and Xie Xubai only discovered it when he was about to go out the next day.
There was only one charger in the apartment, and it was occupied by Yang Zhiheng. Just as Xie Xubaicai was about to knock on Yang Zhiheng's door to ask him for the charger, he heard him flirting with his girlfriend.
For some reason, Xie Xubai suddenly didn't want to use it anymore.
But electricity is still needed, so Xie Xubai thought about going back to the dormitory to get another one.
He happened to go see Shen Jun, so he left Yang Zhiheng in the apartment and went to the dormitory.
The rain was still falling. Xie Xubai held an umbrella and walked into the dormitory in the rain.
When I opened the dormitory door, I found it was pitch black inside and the curtains were drawn tightly. It didn't look like anyone was there.
At this time of the day and it's the weekend, Wang Chengchuan and Zhao Peng should be sleeping. But Shen Jun isn't always the case. Sometimes he's in the library, sometimes in the dormitory.
Xie Xubai was the only one in the empty dormitory. He took out his cell phone to ask about the whereabouts of others, only to find that his phone had been turned off without him noticing.
The feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger. Xie Xubai frowned and looked for a charger to charge his phone.
As soon as I turned on the phone, messages kept popping up, and there were even a few missed calls.
This is the message Zhao Peng sent last night.
Zhao Peng: Brother Xie, are you back?
Zhao Peng: Something big has happened. Jun'er has had a fight with someone and is now in the Academic Affairs Office. Wang Chengchuan and I will go over to take a look first. If you come back, come and take a look too and see if you can get Xian out. It seems to be quite serious.
Then came several phone calls from Zhao Peng.
When Xie Xubai saw Shen Jun fighting with someone, he had already started walking out of the dormitory.
He quickly walked downstairs with his phone, scanned a power bank and plugged it in, while still sending a message to Zhao Peng.
Xie Xubai: Where are you now? Who did he fight with? Is he injured?
Zhao Peng wrote back to him as soon as he sent the message.
Zhao Peng: He had a fierce fight with Sun Cheng's grandson. Now both of them have been sent to the police station. Wang Chengchuan and I are trying to raise money to bail him out.
Then came a location sent by Zhao Peng.
The fingers of Xie Xubai holding the phone were turning pale, and his steps were filled with anxiety.
The rain poured down heavily, soaking half of Xie Xubai's body. He walked in a hurry and the umbrella was of almost no use.
When Xie Xubai opened the glass door of the police station, he saw Shen Jun covered in blood almost immediately.
There was a buzzing in my head, and my rationality collapsed at this moment.
