Master Xiao, Your Wife Has Reborn Novel - Chapter 36
Chapter 36: The Secret From Many Years Ago
In the study room.
Xi Shi reported to Xi Chenxiao respectfully.
“Before this, I wanted to send someone to invite hacker SU over for a face-to-face interview with you. This guy is quite tactful. He’s willing to accept you as his disciple without taking any money. However, he made a strange request.”
Xi Chenxiao looked at the document in his hand and said without raising his head, “There’s no need to take it to heart.”
Xi Shi quickly nodded and looked at Xi Chenxiao with admiration in his eyes.
There was no need to take SU’s request to heart. In this world, there was nothing that their chairman could not do.
“Have you booked the plane ticket?”
Xi Chenxiao leaned lazily on the chair and asked coldly.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Xi Shi’s face. “I’ve booked the plane ticket to Country M. It’s tomorrow morning at 7:55 a.m.”
Xi Shi really did not expect the little mute to really know how to read fortunes. He had even read it correctly. The chairman was really going abroad.
If Su Jin found out tomorrow that the chairman was really going abroad, that would be a slap in the face.
Xi Chenxiao ordered coldly, “Leave.”
Xi Shi’s gloominess instantly dissipated. “Yes, I will do it right away!”
He knew that little girl, Su Jin, was just spouting nonsense. Most fortune-tellers in this world were charlatans.
After Xi Shi left, Xi Chenxiao could not help but think of that beautiful girl with exquisite features.
Especially that pair of watery eyes. They were lively, charming, and mesmerizing as if they could seduce one’s soul. It always gave him an indescribable sense of familiarity.
In the middle of the night, Xi Chenxiao woke up from his dream. He turned on the bedside lamp and poured himself a glass of red wine. With loneliness and coldness all over him, he walked to the French window and looked at the cool moonlight outside.
Xi Chenxiao dreamed of what happened ten years ago. It was a memory that he had deliberately forgotten.
Back then, he was only in his teens. After being tortured by the kidnappers until he was on the verge of death, he was sold to people in the countryside who were in the sex trade.
He was beaten up badly and covered in wounds because he resisted desperately.
He thought that he was dead for sure. He did not expect that he would be saved by a little girl who was only seven or eight years old. The girl’s eyes were exceptionally watery and beautiful, with a trace of innocence.
The little girl took him and escaped. They recuperated in her home in the countryside. The girl’s home only had a nanny who treated the girl coldly. The food and clothes at home were terrible.
In order to take care of him, the girl gave him half of her food every day.
In order to treat his injuries, the girl would go to the mountains to pick herbs every day and beg the old Chinese medicine doctor to boil them into medicinal soup.
Every time he did not want to drink the bitter medicinal soup, the girl would call him Big Brother in a sweet voice.
At that time, his injuries were very serious and he was mal-nutritioned. He was taken care of by the girl for a month until he can finally stand up.
He used the old Chinese medicine doctor’s phone to contact his family. When he left, he wanted to take the girl with him.
However, the night before he left, after the nanny found out that she was about to lose her job, she maliciously started a fire.
In order to save the girl, he was severely burned by the fire. Fortunately, his family came to pick him up and sent him back to the capital overnight for emergency treatment.
Other than his face and arms, he had burns everywhere else. It took more than four years of skin grafting surgeries to completely remove the burn marks on his body.
When he was recovering, he had sent people to the countryside to look for the girl. Unfortunately, the place had been turned into ruins, and the girl was nowhere to be found.
He hated his family. With such a big fire, even he himself had a narrow escape. Why did they not bring the girl to the capital together? How could a girl had survived with no one to care about her?
From then on, his heart and feelings were frozen. No one else could enter his heart anymore.
The deceit and bloody conspiracy between his family members had forced him into a cold-blooded, emotionless god.
Only when he had no feelings, he would not be hurt by emotions, so he became a robot without feelings.
It was dawn. Xi Chenxiao had not slept the whole night, and there was a hint of exhaustion on his cold face. With a sense of loneliness, he turned around to wash up.
A moment later, after washing up, Xi Chenxiao once again became a robot without any feelings.
After putting on his clothes, he opened the bedroom door. Just as he was about to go out, a petite body crashed into his arms.
Su Jin covered her nose with both hands. Her mind was filled with thoughts of whether her nose would break. If it did, it would be over.
After all, she did not have the money to get plastic surgery. Would she become a flat nose monster in the future?
Su Jin raised her head and looked at Xi Chenxiao angrily. Seriously, why was his chest so hard?
Xi Chenxiao frowned and said coldly, “Why are you here?”
