The giant chandelier hangs from the ceiling, and the complicated lighting emits a cold light.
The dark night outside the window seemed to be smeared heavily on the sky with endless thick ink, and there were only leaves rustling in the wind.
There was an expensive watch on the desk. Xia Jinghuai looked at it for a long time. It was exquisite and expensive.
This was the first gift he received.
Growing up, no one remembered his birthday, not even himself, and he never cared about it.
Brilliant and short-lived fireworks, a boy in a black shirt, silver earrings with reflective earlobes, half-dark sparks, and a thin mist of smoke.
A voice full of coldness.
"Happy birthday."
His eyes deepened slightly, and his expression became more unpredictable. His beating heart seemed to be burning, and the hot flames snaked into his nerves.
Very strange feeling.
He pressed his chest with his palms, as if trying to stop his heart from beating so fast. His knuckles turned white from the exertion.
Just when he was convincing his heart to beat, there was a knock on the door, one after another without any pause, hitting his eardrums and making noise.
Xia Jinghuai slowly put away the watch and put it in the drawer, got up and opened the door.
Xia Zihan stood at the door with a bad look on his face. He walked in, closed the door and then said coldly to Xia Jinghuai, "Didn't I tell you not to lock the door in the future?"
Xia Jinghuai remained silent. He sat back on his chair, picked up the pen, and continued to write the unfinished test paper.
Xia Zihan came over just to see if Xia Jinghuai was slacking off. He took a look at his half-written test paper and felt very satisfied. He stood there for a while and then couldn't control his words and started to add insult to injury.
It was just that the servants in the villa looked down upon her and did not regard her as the mistress of the Chu family. They also said that Chu Yu had no respect for the elders at all and had no tutor. She was very angry by saying that.
She said that the Chu family was not good, but she was unwilling to give up the benefits provided by the Chu family, otherwise she would not have used all the means to climb into Chu Ye's bed.
She said something bad about Chu Yu, but she tried her best to please Chu Yu, and even made Xia Jinghuai treat Chu Yu with all kinds of attentiveness, circling around Chu Yu's feet like a pug.
Xia Jinghuai had heard these things since he was a child and had already developed an immune system. He was writing the test paper without any distractions and ignored what he heard.
Xia Zihan talked for nearly an hour before she felt a little better. She looked at her son, and the more she looked at him, the more she felt that he was outstanding. He had excellent grades, was first in age, had scholarships, and couldn't fit all the various awards in one box.
And what does Chu Yu have?
He is just a playboy. Apart from his status as a young master of the Chu family, he has no abilities at all.
Thinking this way, my vanity suddenly swelled.
Xia Zihan originally wanted to say something, but from the corner of his eye, he accidentally glanced at the drawer that was not closed tightly. The diamonds reflected dazzlingly under the light.
Without any hesitation, Xia Zihan immediately went over and opened the drawer. It was a watch, Vacheron Constantin.
This style is a limited edition this year and costs 450,000.
She picked up the watch. The small diamonds were dazzling and gorgeous. This watch can be worn by both men and women. "Jing Huai, this watch for you..."
Before he finished speaking, the boy grabbed the watch that was still warm to the touch, with extremely rough and quick movements, as if it was not a watch, but a unique treasure in the world.
Xia Zihan was stunned for a moment, then turned livid, looked at the boy, and said in a sharp and mean tone: "Xia Jinghuai, you always tell me how you got this watch? Did you secretly take my money? Okay, I'll pay for it. You eat and I provide you with clothing, so why are you still eating and stealing my money?"
The price of this watch is actually not high for Xia Zihan, but it is a limited edition, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.
Normally, she wouldn't give Xia Jinghuai much pocket money, so how could she afford such an expensive watch?
Xia Jinghuai quietly stared at the mean and twisted woman in front of him. His lowered eyes had no trace of warmth and were filled with cold and sinister anger. He clutched the cold watch in his hand and spoke every word.
"this is mine."
Xia Zihan's face flushed angrily, his eyes were burning with anger, and a vein on his temples pulsed slightly, and he said sarcastically: "Yours? Where did you get the money to buy this kind of thing? You still want to lie to me, you white-eyed wolf, you are so stupid. Do these dirty things."
As she spoke, she moved her hands. The woman's fingers had just been manicured. The nails were very long and pinched the flesh through the clothes, leaving crescent-like nail marks and bruises.
She was already mad and felt that everything in the world was not what she wanted. In the Chu family, the only person who could be used as a punching bag was her own son.
Xia Jinghuai stood still. He was taller than the woman, and the calm sea was making waves.
The indifferent and gloomy eyebrows were covered with a layer of strong anger that could not be concealed.
The thin lips were pursed into a sharp arc that could hurt someone.
Bloodthirsty scarlet stained his eyes.
His eyelashes were lowered, showing an overwhelming killing intent.
The cold and cold breath hit him instantly, sweeping across the entire room in an instant.
Xia Zihan suddenly felt a chill on his back and his hairs trembled. He dispelled his anger under the fear and regained consciousness.
She subconsciously took a step back. She was still wearing high heels, her calves were shaking, and she almost sprained her foot.
The boy lowered his head and remained motionless like a sculpture. His pale and sickly complexion was gloomy and full of death.
Xia Zihan swallowed, holding back the inexplicable fear, but his greedy nature could not be concealed.
"This time, forget it this time, just give me that watch and I'll pretend nothing happened."
She still misses that watch.
It's just disgustingly greedy.
Dead silence spreads.
Xia Zihan seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat. As time passed, the feeling of panic became more and more obvious.
And Xia Jinghuai finally slowly raised his head, his eyes were almost covered by his long hair, and his dark eyes looked at her through the hair, like some kind of murderer who chose people to eat.
The clean and clear voice of the boy seemed to have become a curse coming from the abyss.
Stubborn and paranoid.
"this is mine."
Xia Zihan couldn't stand such an atmosphere anymore, and almost ran away regardless of the watch.
The light above his head was pale. Xia Jinghuai held the watch with gentle and precious movements, wiping it with a clean silk handkerchief, not missing every detail.

Chu Yu returned to the villa with the smell of the restaurant on his body, and took a few more minutes to take a shower.
