CHAPTER 1.2: REBIRTH
Steward Wang became even more puzzled: “Why are we looking for Young Master Ji? I seem to remember that Young Master Ji is not in B City at the moment”.
Jing Xia shook his head, before saying: “He is.” A pause, then he continued: "Just at the Ji family."
Steward Wang stared blankly, but he did not ask anymore afterwards, merely smiling and nodding his head before going to prepare what Jing Xia had asked for. This kind old man had no children in this lifetime, so he had long regarded the Young Master as his own grandson. As a qualified steward, he did not need to know the reasons behind the decisions of the other person. He believes in and supports his young master’s every judgement.
Jing Xia calmly looked towards the disappearing figure of Steward Wang for a long time, before suddenly turning around and opening the door to head to the garage.
Ji Chuancheng was one of his childhood friends.
If he had to say who he considered to be his best friends in his lifetime, Jing Xia had once thought that it would always be Ji Chuancheng and Wu Jiqing. However, there is a saying, that adversity is the best environment in which to judge a person. This sentence is really not false.
Since young, he had grown up with Ji Chuancheng and Wu Jiqing. Jing Family had been doing business for generations and currently occupies an influential position in the business world of B City. Meanwhile, Ji Chuancheng was born to a military family, that had brought up three commander-in-chiefs. As for the Wu family, it is a family that had only risen in status over the last few decades in the B City.
During the end of the world, Jing Xia had fled for his life alongside Wu Jiqing and Su Weishang. However, it wasn’t until later when Wu Jiqing personally kicked him out of the team, that he finally realized—--
Wu Jiqing simply had a vile character from head to toe!
Since his former life had been too leisurely and without any need for distress, he was able to be brothers with Wu Jiqing. However... when disaster really struck, Wu Jiqing chose the hypocritical and shameless Su Weishang time after time again, pushing him into a living hell.
Su Weishang was Jing Xia's younger half-brother, and because of his illegitimate status, he had never been acknowledged by the Jing family.
Wu Jiqing had clearly known that Jing Xia found Su Weishang to be the most unforgivable person in his entire lifetime. Yet during the end of the world, he did everything right by Su Weishang rather than Jing Xia.
Jing Xia will always remember a sentence that Wu Jiqing had said to him, during the end of the world in his past life: "A’Jing, you should not always be prejudiced against Xiao Shang. Being your father's mistress, kidnapping you, and angering your mother to death, are all things that Xiao Shang's mother had done. They have nothing to do with him. Don't deliberately make things difficult for Xiao Shang because of the previous generation’s matters. You being like this makes things very difficult for me."
He could never have imagined that Wu Jiqing could actually say these words with such a thick face!
Su Weishang's mother, Su Yalin, was Jing Xia's father’s first love. After graduating from college and taking control of his company, Jing Father only married Jing Mother in order to establish a business relationship between the two families. The breakup that was supposed to happen had happened, yet Su Yalin continued to be entangled with Jing Father. And at the time when his willpower was not firm, the still simpleminded Jing Father went down the wrong path, resulting in the birth of Su Weishang.
If only this was the case, Jing Xia would not hate Su Weishang to such a degree.
Even if Su Yalin had hired someone to kidnap him and almost caused the young him to die. Even if his mother died because of her old disease flaring up from anger due to Su Yalin’s abduction of himself. These are not related to the young and ignorant Su Weishang, and did not deserve a degree of hating to the bone.
However, Su Weishang was simply as shameless as his mother!
On the surface, he put on the facade of a white lotus. Yet his motives were extremely malicious, so much that after becoming an adult, he (SWS) had hired people to assassinate himself (JX), wanting to carry out the same methods as his mother. In the initial stage of the last phase, he (SWS) continuously pushed himself (JX) into dangerous situations, and at the final moment….
When thinking of his skull that had cracked open, and the feeling of having his brains spurt out, Jing Xia, who had just sat in the driver’s seat, could not help but tremble violently, and his face immediately paled. A kind of phantom pain had penetrated into his brain, spreading from the scalp into every single cell in the body, causing him to lose the capability to control his body for an instant.
During the last Beast Tide of the last phase, he did not know what method Su Weishang had used to suck his body over, and afterwards—--
There was a burst of heart tearing and lungs rending pain along with a darkness that was as still as death.
When Jing Xia opened his eyes, the first thing that he saw was the bedroom ceiling that he had not seen since two years ago. The warm sunshine outside the window still had the beauty of not being invaded by death, without the tension during the end of the world where everyone felt uneasy about whether or not they would die in the next second. Being in such a calm environment, Jing Xia was stunned for only one instant, before immediately deciding to go and find Ji Chuancheng.
He needed to find him within the fastest time possible, and tell him the happenings after the beginning of the last phase.
As the youngest Major in Huaxia, Ji Chuancheng returned to B City in order to be promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Only it was a shame that the promotion was disrupted by the sudden occurence of the last phase, causing him to remain at the military rank of a Major.
With a thump, Steward Wang placed a large bag into the trunk of the car. He opened the car door and went in, before putting a small amount of food directly onto the back seat of the car. Then he smiled, saying: "Young Master, I have packed all the canned and compressed food in the house, along with some bottled water. As for the Master’s knives, taking advantage of the situation at hand, I grabbed the newest and finest one."
"Thank you, Grandpa Wang."
Jing Xia lightly nodded, then he stepped on the clutch and gas pedal, driving out of the garage. It didn’t take long for the car to speed down the road, driving down the path without a sign of human inhabitation, and proceeding towards the desolate and gloomy city.
The sun was still the way that it had been, over the past hundreds of millions of years, sprinkling its gentle and warm rays of light onto the Earth that it cherished. The warm sunlight illuminated the sleeping city, that was no different from the past. However, everyone still believed that this self-combusting star had experienced dramatic changes.
Jing Xia firmly gripped the steering wheel, clenching his teeth together—--
It was definitely not caused by the abnormal movements of the sunspots, but instead...
Global evolution.
Jing Xia shook his head, before saying: “He is.” A pause, then he continued: "Just at the Ji family."
Steward Wang stared blankly, but he did not ask anymore afterwards, merely smiling and nodding his head before going to prepare what Jing Xia had asked for. This kind old man had no children in this lifetime, so he had long regarded the Young Master as his own grandson.
