Chapter 16: property
“Dong dong dong…” The door was quiet for a second, followed by a louder knock, and a sharp scolding, “Xie Sen, are you brave enough to slam the door in front of us!”
Xie Sen turned around and was about to go back to the room. Hearing his name, he took a step. Do you know him?
He thought about it, opened the door again, ignored the black faces of the two, and asked politely, “May I ask who you are?”
“You actually asked who we are?” The short middle-aged man’s voice was even more high-pitched, “My son and daughter-in-law raised you, and they are gone, so you pretend not to know us, right?”
He pointed at Xie Sen and scolded: “I knew for a long time that you would be a white-eyed wolf. At the beginning, I should have forced them to adopt you. They were good children who pretended to be filial when they were there, and now they show their true colors!”
He didn’t catch his breath, and his voice changed: “The first two years have been pretending to be decent. Are you going to graduate soon, and your wings are hard, so you won’t see us in your eyes?”
He pointed to Xie Sen’s hand and turned from Xie Sen to the house: “Do you know whose house you are living in now? Since your wings are hard, move out quickly. We have no responsibility to continue raising you.”
Xie Sen listened to his sharp scolding and just wanted to cover his ears, knowing the identities of the two, thinking about occupying his predecessor’s body now, he endured and listened quietly.
His grandfather and grandfather were mentioned in the predecessor’s notes, with very little ink.
“Grandfather and grandpa don’t seem to like me.”
“Dad and grandpa quarreled because of me. I blame myself. How can I make grandfather and grandpa like me? I will be very good.”
Xie Sen looked at the two of them expressionlessly, and took a step back to make way for the door: “Please come in, sit down and talk about something.”
Father Xie and Dad Xie looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. Why does this white-eyed wolf feel different from before?
The three sat in the living room, and Xie Sen poured tea for them: “I’m sorry, I just woke up and was a little confused. What are you here for today?”
Father Xie cleared his throat and said solemnly, “It’s been three years since your adoptive father passed away. We have been so sad these past few years that we haven’t been able to fully check their property. Now that you’re an adult, we have to do the math.”
Xie Sen thought about the balance of his predecessor’s account, and the corner of his mouth was slightly deflated: “My father didn’t leave me any property.”
“I know they don’t have any deposits,” Father Xie said. “The money was settled three years ago. I’m not talking about deposits.”
Because of Dad Xie’s previous words, Xie Sen had a rough guess in his heart, thinking that most of them came for the house.
Xie Sen pointed to the ceiling: “Is it the house?” He had a bad impression of the two of them, but the house belonged to their son, and they deserved it. After all, he was not the real predecessor.
What’s more, he’s just made a fortune and isn’t too worried: “I can move out.”
Father Xie Xie Dad was even more surprised. Dad Xie looked much better: “It’s still sensible. We have fulfilled our responsibilities when you live here until you are an adult.”
Xie Sen thought that the matter was resolved so simply, got up and said, “I’ll go pack my luggage.”
However, things went beyond his expectations. Father Xie said, “Wait, there is one more thing.”
Xie Sen sat down again, and after thinking about it, he didn’t think there was anything valuable in his predecessor. He wondered: “Flying Shuttle?”
“That’s a half-adult gift from your father, it’s yours,” Father Xie said, looking at Xie Sen sharply, “Don’t hide it now, before your father and the others went out to investigate for the last time, didn’t they? Left something good at home?”
Xie Sen was stunned: “No.”
“Liar!” Dad Xie stared at him, “Now that the entire Star City knows, you still want to lie to us?”
Xie Sen was confused and resisted the urge to roll his eyes: “What are you talking about?”
“Chili tree,” Father Xie said in a deep voice, “a video of you and your classmates discussing was posted on the Internet. Plant experts pointed out that the plant you used to attack was the extinct edible plant of Brant star, the pepper tree.”
Dad Xie then said: “Needless to say, this must have been brought back by my son and the others. This is an inestimable property!”
Xie Sen was stunned, he never thought that their idea hit the pepper tree.
“That’s not what they brought back from the expedition,” Xie Sen explained. “Edible plants grow in the ground and have no offensive power.”
Father Xie’s face sank: “You mean you don’t want to take it out?”
Xie Sen was speechless: “I won’t want what’s yours, and I won’t give what’s mine.”
“It’s shameless, what’s your stuff? If it wasn’t for you, my son and I wouldn’t be so unfamiliar. If it was a little closer, how could they put the pepper tree with you.” Dad Xie cursed with an ugly face.
Xie Sen looked at him helplessly. He clearly and stubbornly believed that the pepper tree was brought back by his former adoptive father.
“I said, the pepper tree is mine, not brought back by them. They are researchers at the Institute of Botany. Every time they visit, there will be fellow researchers. Even if new species are discovered, they will be placed in the research institute, and they will not be private. Bring it back.” Xie Sen said patiently.
“Hmph, don’t try to fool me. You think I don’t know. They like to run around during the holidays. I think the pepper tree was acquired by them accidentally during the holiday.” Dad Xie insisted.
Seeing his attitude, Xie Sen knew that it would be useless to say more. He got up and said, “I will move out as soon as possible. The pepper tree is mine. If you don’t believe me, you can ask someone to investigate.”
“You think I don’t dare?” Father Xie’s face was ugly, “You take it out obediently, I can give you a living allowance, it’s not good if things get too big, as an adopted son, after the death of your adoptive father, you are fighting for property with your elders and spread the word. It’s you who will lose your reputation.”
“I’m not afraid,” Xie Sen shrugged, “I’m telling the truth, and I’m not guilty at all.”
“You’re still not guilty? I think you’re a dead pig face. You’ve been scolded for so long, and you’re still nothing. You’re not afraid of being scolded! But have you ever thought that if the trouble breaks out, your adoptive father and the others will find out. What will people say about extinct edible plants, but they have not been disclosed or reported to the research institute?”
Dad Xie looked excited: “They are the role models of the research institute. When this news spreads, not only will they lose their reputation, but they will also be criticized and questioned. It has been three years since they passed away. As an adopted son, can you bear to have such a thing happen? ”
Xie Sen couldn’t help sneering, this is a bright moral kidnapping: “You’re right, I can’t bear it, they are dedicated researchers and won’t hide any findings, the pepper tree in my hand is my own and has nothing to do with them. ”
Dad Xie choked, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had wrapped himself in. He originally wanted to persuade Xie Sen to hand over the pepper tree obediently and not make things worse, but it turned out that the pepper tree belonged to Xie Sen, so it wouldn’t affect him. son’s reputation.
Father Xie sneered: “Yours? Where did you come from? You have never been out of Star City, and it is impossible to get a pepper tree!”
Xie Sen didn’t know how to explain, and said vaguely: “This has nothing to do with you, I’ll pack up.”
He ignored Dad Xie’s scolding words and hurried to the room. He said he was packing his luggage, but he didn’t have anything to take. He just packed some clothes with the luggage, and then twisted the bag out.
“Are you unwilling to hand over the pepper tree?” Father Xie asked in a deep voice.
“Yes.” Xie Sen nodded, this is his thing, of course he won’t hand it over, not to mention the pepper tree is in the system, he can’t hand it over either.
“Then don’t blame me for being rude. I will contact the relevant departments to investigate you. I will not let the property left by my son fall into your hands.”
Xie Sen waved his hand: “It doesn’t matter, goodbye.”
He drove the shuttle away, thought about it, parked in the school’s parking lot, and began to think about what to do.
How could he explain the existence of the pepper tree? As he pondered, he opened the bracelet to connect to the star network, and checked the video comments of his learning.
At a glance, he saw the top popular comment, which was a golden name ‘Horse Group’: “It’s a miracle, this is the pepper tree, the edible spicy plant, which has become extinct on Brant star.”
There are a lot of comments under the comments, and most of them are all kinds of doubts: How did he get the extinct plant as an adult student?
There are still many questions: Dean Ma is wrong, can edible plants attack people?
Of course, there are many foodies: what is the spiciness like? Is it the spicy taste of stimulant grass? What is it, curious to eat!
Xie Sen was watching, and the bracelet vibrated. He glanced at it. It was an unfamiliar number. Thinking of Father Xie’s words, he connected: “Hello.”
“Hello, I’m Ma Qun from the Institute of Botany, is it Xie Sen?” Opposite him was a gentle uncle.
“I am.” Xie Sen gritted his teeth, it was this person who identified the pepper tree.
“I’ve seen your video, and I’m very interested in the pepper tree you used to attack. Can you make an appointment?”
Xie Sen said: “I’m sorry, I have something to do now.” He hadn’t thought of how to explain it yet!
“That’s a pity, this is my communication, please contact me immediately when you have time.” Ma Qun was very gentleman and didn’t bother.
Xie Sen had a much better impression of him and agreed casually.
He hung up the newsletter and continued to swipe the star network to read the comments. It didn’t take long for him to find that Ma Qun’s popular comment had actually reached the second place, and the top one was a new comment.
The commenter is also a golden name named ‘Mu Lin’: “President Ma is right, this is a miracle, but I don’t think what he said is all right, I have a bold guess…”
The comments below exploded: “I’m going, am I dazzled, the dean of the Contracted Beast Research Institute actually appeared!”
“The so-called most mysterious golden vest dean has actually appeared!”
“What conjecture, you say it!”
“President Mu is still begging for beatings like this, half talking, can you not betray me?”
“Curiosity max, ah ah ah, the pastor is coming back soon, what is your guess?”
“Call Dean Mu!”
“…”
The comments below are all copy-paste, calling Dean Mu in a row.
Xie Sen thought to himself that it was no wonder that there were so many comments all of a sudden, this pastor should write a novel, it was too cruel to break the chapter.
While thinking about it, he copied and pasted a comment, and he really wanted to know what Dean Mu’s guess was!
