Chapter 208 Good News (Part 2)

"Jewell, can you help me take a look? How about that?"

The dim sunlight shone at the entrance of First Avenue. Su Xi adjusted a mirror, took out a cosmetic box, and continued to organize it. Today's meeting was over, so Jewell came directly. He had not planned to come.

But Su Xi grabbed the phone and said that he would definitely come. Jewell had no choice but to come. He didn't want to get close to the Huosen family at all. After so many years, he still clearly remembered what their entire family was like.

Memories woke up in Jewell's mind bit by bit. Everything his mother had done in the Chen family was vivid in his mind. After Su Xi finished retouching her makeup, she leaned over. Just when she wanted to hold Jewell's hand, she saw Jewell in a daze with a sad expression. Su Xi did not interrupt Jewell but waited quietly.

The last trace of the sun's residual heat began to fade, and the city fell into a blood-red, followed by darkness. Soon the light came on, and Jewell came back to his senses.

"Let's go, Jewell."

Su Xi went over and took Jewell's arm. Jewell was resisting in his heart at this time. He really didn't want to go to the Huosen family. At this time, Su Xi spoke up.

"How about we go back, Jewell?"

Jewell shook his head and continued to walk. After all, Su Xi had promised Field.

The two strolled on First Avenue. Su Xi was also here for the first time. He had only seen the situation of First Avenue on TV. This was the gathering place of the upper class in the city. As for what happened to Jewell in the past, Su Xi didn't know because Jewell never mentioned it.

Su Xi only saw it from some news reports. Jewell's mother couldn't stand the domestic violence and finally committed suicide. She married into the Chen family from the Huosen family. It was said that Jewell left the Chen family after his mother died when he was in his teens, and he didn't go back to the Huosen family.

Although Gene talked about some things, he didn't talk about Jewell's whole story. Gene asked Su Xi to try to understand Jewell's unbearable past. Those who knew about it were Nia, Leon, Ivy and Leona, because the four of them were classmates in the past.

Su Xi planned to slowly learn about Jewel's past after getting married. There were many people on the road, casting doubtful glances from time to time, and some even pointed fingers at him. Su Xi was a little scared at this moment, because of his dirty past, this matter had begun to spread.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen it before?"

Jewel yelled at the young people of several families angrily, and they immediately lowered their heads and ran away with awkward smiles.

The length of the First Avenue is only more than 3 kilometers, and all the families are gathered in this area.

More than ten minutes later, the two arrived at the door of the Huosen family. At this time, a large group of young people gathered, and one of the young people immediately came over with others.

"Uncle, you are here. My name is Jed, and I am the grandson of Grandpa Field."

Jewel nodded, and other nephews and nieces came to say hello. Jewel still had a serious expression and just nodded. Su Xi on the side immediately thanked him happily.

Then Su Xi began to chat with these nominal nephews. She did not retreat because of her past identity. The current Su Xi is different from before. She knows who she is now.

Gene had visited Jewel's house many times before and talked to Su Xi about many things. At that time, Su Xi was actually a little inferior, but after talking with Gene, Su Xi is no longer afraid of some things in the past.

Especially the dawn of this city has come. Su Xi has seen all the reports about District 29 these days. In the past, Jewel often visited District 29. She really took care of the women there. Su Xi actually knew that Jewel wanted to do something for District 29, but he was powerless.

Jewel looked at his wife silently. He was a little touched at this time, because he felt the huge changes in Su Xi recently. She was no longer the woman who would listen to him in the past. She often gave him some suggestions and was really considerate to him.

Jewel's expression was a little relaxed. He was silent beside Su Xi, listening to Su Xi and some young men and women of the Huosen family talking freely, and there was nothing wrong.

Many of the things discussed were areas that Su Xi had never been involved in in the past. She was really very hard-working. Every day, she spent most of her time at home learning various things.

Maybe this is life!

Jewel saw Field and the Angus couple coming towards him. He looked at the Angus couple in surprise. He didn't expect that the couple would appear at the banquet of the Hossen family.

There were too many people at the banquet, including congressmen, businessmen, and people from other families. Jewel didn't like such occasions very much. He just wanted to say hello to Field, Jewel's nominal uncle.

"Welcome, Jewel."

Field smiled and stretched out his hand. Jewel shook it and nodded. He didn't say much. Then he listened to Field talking about some things at the banquet today. Jewel was not interested in these things at all, and he didn't plan to understand them.

At this time, not far away, Chen Qiao came over with some people from the Chen family. He looked solemn because the whole Chen Qiao Group was restless because of Chen Kai's incident.

Chen Kai had been formally arrested and would soon face sentencing in the Law Courts. Of course, Chen Qiao was not happy about this. Chen Qiao hurried to Jewel.

"Let's talk farther away."

Jewell nodded. Chen Qiao had called him many times in the past few days. After all, some of Chen Qiao Group’s business matters involved prison issues in the past. Jewell had helped him many times, but now he I only talked about money with Chen Qiao.

Ever since Chen Qiao got married, he began to change, becoming just like the previous generation of the Chen family, greedy for power, and after Jewel was unwilling to return to the Chen family, he began to become indifferent.

During Jewell's wandering years, Chen Qiao only occasionally sent people over to ask if Jewell needed money, that's all. It wasn't until Jewell began to stand out in the business department that at a certain banquet, The uncle and nephew spoke to each other for the first time in more than ten years.

Originally, Jewel wanted to reminisce with Chen Qiao, but as soon as Chen Qiao opened his mouth, it was about business, and Jewel completely lost interest in family ties.

"Congratulations, Jewel."

Chen Qiao said politely. Jewel smiled and took a glass of wine from a waiter's plate. Chen Qiao also hurriedly took a glass.

"No more polite words, your grandson's matter has nothing to do with me, and I can't say anything about it."

"Hey! Jewell, can you think of a way? You and Niya are classmates, and you should have a good relationship with her. How about asking her to have dinner in private?"

Jewell said with a smile after taking a sip of wine.

"How much are you going to give?"

Chen Qiao opened his hands.

"How about five million."

Jewel smiled.

"I can help you arrange a meal, but whether you can succeed or not depends on you. At most, I can help you put in a few nice words."

After speaking, Jewell turned around and started walking, when Field ran over.

"Jewel, can you have a drink?"

Jewell glanced at Field.

"Sorry, I have to go back to the prison after I have something to eat."

Jewell didn't want to talk to these people because he had nothing to say. At this time, Su Xi ran over.

"Jewell, let's eat together with uncle."

Valley

"Yeah, let's eat together, oh."

In desperation, Jewell could only sit on a small round table with Field. Su Xi went to get the food. The two looked at each other. Field looked embarrassed, while Jewell looked indifferent.

"If nothing happens, go home and visit more often. After all, this is your home."

Jewel smiled.

"No need."

Field sighed.

"Actually, we should all let go of some things for Jewell. I did not handle some things well in the past."

Seeing the displeasure on Jewell's face, Field stopped mentioning the past and talked to Jewell about some recent events. Su Xi came over with the food, put it down and said.

"Jewell, have a nice drink with your uncle, and I'll go over and eat with them."

Jewell knew what Su Xi wanted to do, but he rejected it in his heart. He often saw all the inhuman treatment he and his mother suffered at the Chen family in his dreams, but this uncle seemed to see it. It was unusual, and the mother also went back to ask Field for help, but Field agreed verbally, but in the end nothing happened.

Because Field had selfish motives. At that time, his mother was very outstanding as a member of the Hotson family, and such excellence made Field fearful. Jewell knew very well that he did not hesitate to help his mother, Wilsey. The marriage to Chen Dong, the eldest son of the Chen family, was just to kick his mother out of the Huosen family so that he could take over all the power.

This kind of practice was very common in the family in the past, but Jewell no longer wants to live in the past, so there is no connection with these things in the past.

"By the way, Jewel, where are you going to hold your wedding? Do you want to hold it at home?"

"No need."

Jewell just replied indifferently. Field sighed, and after taking a sip of wine, he looked at Jewell in a daze. He was very similar to his sister Wilsie. Over the years, Field could hardly remember what his sister looked like. What's going on.

Field has recently found that he is becoming more and more powerless. Although he has three sons and two daughters, he is essentially no different from the son of the Chen family. He often gets into trouble, and he really doesn't have much motivation in the company.

Field often wonders what he will do the day he can't do anything anymore. Although the entire Huosen family has a huge industry and a solid foundation, it is all based on the dividends of urban development. The city will soon enter an unprecedented era, with monopoly It is being broken bit by bit. Field had a little bit of luck before, thinking that the business department would compromise like in the past.

The business department is different now. Ever since Le Xiao became a star in the city, people's attitude towards the business department has changed drastically.

"I'm a little worried about the future of my family."

"Why are you talking to me? It has nothing to do with me."

Field nodded.

"Let's have a drink."

Field raised his glass and drank with Jewell. The two of them looked at the bustling scene without saying a word. After a while, Field spoke.

"Welsie and I grew up in this land. My sister was always very strong and liked to nag. To be honest, I don't like her, or I'm a little jealous of her."

Jewell smiled and stood up.

"That's almost it. I have to go."

Field nodded.

"Come back and take a look when you have time, Jewell. Don't pass on some of the things of our previous generation. Many of our families are like this. Both good and bad things are passed down. Only An The Gus family is an exception."

Jewell smiled and walked slowly.

"Is it okay for you to stay here?"

Seeing that Su Xi has chatted with many people, Jewell has to go back to prison now. Secretary Zhou Xuan has urged him many times that he must go back.

"It's okay Jewel."

Jewell nodded, Su Xi held his arm and said.

"Since the past facts cannot be changed, we can only accept the future, Jewell. No matter how you try to avoid these things, they will always come around."

Jewell closed his eyes, then nodded.

"Go back early later."

Watching his wife turn and leave, Jewell felt a little helpless. As soon as he came to the door, he met Angus and his wife who were about to leave.

Jewell was a little surprised after hearing the reason why the couple came.

"It's true, you actually stepped into this place."

"We are the same, Jewell, I didn't expect you to come."

Jewell did not explain that it was because of Su Xi's relationship that the three of them left Huosen's house and strolled on First Avenue.

Violet looked at Jewel's melancholy look and patted him on the back.

"You're about to get married, so put a smile on your face."

Jewell smiled awkwardly.

"Ms. Violet, when we were fooling around with Niya before, I was beaten by you."

Violet sighed, and the three of them walked all the way to the door of Angus' house.

"You two, I'm leaving first."

Looking at Jewel leaving, Avano shook his head helplessly.

"He's probably the epitome of the whole family."

Violet nodded, remembering that Niya often nagged them in the past, asking them to think of ways to help Jewell, but it was a pity that they really couldn't interfere in these family affairs, and in the end Alfa gave in in one fell swoop. The family's transactional marriage was completely over.

"There are good things now, right?"

Violet said, although Jewell is still the same as before, today Violet found that he has changed a little bit. If it were before, Jewell would never be able to step into the Hosen house. This time It was probably the first time he had entered the Hosen family's land in more than half a century.

"Things will always change. I feel like the kid is already trying to change something."
