    Wang Lihua and Zhao Heping did not stay in western Beijing for a few days.

    “Tell me if you have any questions.”

    Before leaving, Zhao Heping said this to Xue Xue.

    He also said this to Xue Qi in his previous life, and more than once.

    But that was much later.

    “Okay.”

    Under Zhao Heping’s probing look, Xue Xue’s expression remained normal and he answered without hesitation.

    Nothing out of the ordinary.

    But Zhao Heping just felt that something was wrong, like a small pimple, inconspicuous or even unnoticed, but it was real.

    After thinking for a moment, he said: “He’an…”

    Before Zhao Heping could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wang Lihua who came downstairs.

    “The car has arrived.” The woman was wearing a lace dress with an embroidered shawl, her steps were light and her posture was graceful.”Xiao Qi, mom and eldest brother are going back to southern Beijing first. You should be careful when you are alone in western Beijing and don’t cause any trouble to your second brother.”

    Xue Xue responded obediently.

    Wang Lihua’s eyes turned from her daughter to her stepson.

    “What are you and Xiaoqi talking about?”

    “It’s nothing, Mom.” Xue Xue interrupted.”Remember to call me when you arrive.”

    Wang Lihua raised her eyebrows.

    “I know.” Zhao Heping smiled and followed Xue Xue’s words: “There is no need to see us off. You can go back to your room to study.”

    Wang Lihua and Zhao Heping’s return to Beijing West seems to be just an episode in their ordinary daily life.

    The days passed by, and Zhao He’an didn’t show up again for a while. Xue Xue also completely integrated into Xue Qi’s high school life. As an ordinary student, he was busy preparing for the college entrance examination from seven in the morning to eight in the evening.

    As for Chen Ye…

    “Is he still not here today?”

    “Ah, who didn’t come?” Yu Enfei looked confused.”Does anyone ask for leave today?”

    Xue Xue was speechless.

    “Chen Ye isn’t here.” After hearing the conversation between the two of them, the boy sitting in the front seat turned around and said, “You are indeed a transparent person, right? Hahaha.”

    Yu Enfei also laughed twice before realizing something was wrong.

    “Hey, don’t make such a joke.”

    She waved her hand in disgust, motioning for the other party to turn back.

    Then, he turned around and saw Xue Xue staring at him expressionlessly.

    “Oh, what are you doing?”

    “No.”

    “Come on, don’t I know what you are thinking?”

    “Then what did you tell me I was thinking about?”

    “Hmm.” This question stunned Yu Enfei.”Are you thinking…”

    Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind.

    “Chen Ye!”

    The sound was neither loud nor quiet, just enough for the dozen or so people in the classroom to hear.

    Realizing that she had made a mistake, Yu Enfei could only say awkwardly in the eyes of everyone: “Yes, the one who didn’t come today is Chen Ye. I was wondering why there was one less exam paper collected today!”

    Regarding her poor acting skills, Xue Xue was quite speechless.

    “It’s all your fault.” Yu Enfei covered her face and complained softly.”How embarrassing.”

    “It’s okay.” Xue Xue patted her shoulder.”It’s good to know how to be embarrassed.”

    “Xue Qi!”

    In Xue Qi’s memory, Chen Ye was an insignificant existence.

    Whether it is the student days when he was ignored or the 30 years when he became famous.

    She just sighed at the gap between the other party and herself.

    One managed to get out of the abyss, while the other was still stuck in the quagmire.

    But there are no more.

    Therefore, Xue Xue could only extract some vague information from Xue Qi’s memory.

    It seems that after entering the third year of high school, Chen Ye often did not come to school.

    Therefore, there are still rumors that he plans to give up the college entrance examination.

    Although they had breakfast together that day and added WeChat, nothing changed after arriving at school.

    Chen Ye was still huddled in a corner where no one was paying attention, and Xue Xue did not take the initiative to contact him.

    What happened to Zhao Heping earlier sounded the alarm for her.

    Xue Xue felt that he could not act rashly now.

    At least we have to wait until adulthood, after the college entrance examination is over.

    “Xiao Qi, why don’t you say anything?” Yu Enfei bit her straw and said vaguely, “What are you thinking about?”

    “I’m a little hesitant.”

    “Ah?” Yu Enfei looked curious.”Hesitating? Why are you hesitating?”

    “Would you like to find someone?”

    “Who?”

    Xue Xue stopped and Yu Enfei’s head was full of questions.

    “Do you know where Chen Ye lives?”

    Standing outside the alleys of the old city, Xue Xue once again questioned his decision.

    But now that I have come, there seems to be no reason to look back.

    She has an impression of this place, or it should be said that Xue Qi has an impression of this place.

    Soon, this area will be razed to the ground. As a key area for the new city development project in western Beijing, local residents will receive a considerable amount of demolition money according to the terms of the land acquisition compensation agreement.

    The reason why Xue Qi knew it was not only the reports from the news media, but also Zhao He’an.

    Zhao He’an invested money in this plan.

    Xue Qi didn’t know exactly which link he was involved in, because Zhao He’an was vague and only revealed a little information, but it can be said that this was the beginning of a man’s accumulation of capital.

    It also gave him the ability to join forces with outsiders later on and take over the Zhao family’s fortune.

    Thinking of this, Xue Xue felt a dull pain in his temples again.

    That was a memory that Xue Qi didn’t want to share, a forbidden place that would cause pain at the slightest touch.
