Chapter 81 The deadline is approaching
"Miss, get up quickly, Mr. Xie is back!" Aunt Mei gently woke up Xie Rouxi from her sleep.

"Grandpa is back? Where is he? I'm up!!!"

The next second, Xie Rouxi, who was wearing pajamas, didn't have time to wash up, so she jumped up and down and ran out the door.Mei Gu grabbed her and whispered: "Mr. Xie, something is going to happen now. He asked you to go to the study in an hour, and wash up and have breakfast first!"

"Oh, I know, I know, who is at Grandpa's place? He actually asked me to wait for an hour. Grandpa is really weird. This time I went to Xiang Island, and my whole body became weird!"

Xie Rouxi muttered dissatisfiedly and started to wash up. At this time, she really did not expect that Xie Kangnian, who came back from going out to do errands, would bring about a new earth-shaking in her life.And her relationship with Li Nan, which only lasted three months, will become a nightmare that she doesn't want to think about again in her future life.

About three months ago, in the middle of the night, Xie Kangnian suddenly received a mysterious phone call in the Western Market, and then he immediately got up and returned to Xiangdao.Before setting off, he uncharacteristically gave his precious granddaughter Xie Rouxi a thousand warnings, telling her to take good care of herself and enjoy life with peace of mind until he came back.

This sudden separation was the first time since Xie Rouxi came to this dimension that she was separated from her grandfather, Xie Kangnian, who protected her.She originally wanted to go back with her grandfather, but for some unknown reason, her grandfather had a very firm attitude towards her this time and refused to let her go back with him.

Anyone who knows Tse Kang-nien knows that he always behaves strangely and irrationally, and never explains what he does to others. Therefore, no one knows the reason why Tse Kon-nien suddenly returned to Hong Kong this time, including his favorite granddaughter. Thank you Rouxi.

Moreover, unlike the daily contact between grandfather and grandson in the past, this time when Xie Kangnian was away, his contact with Xie Rouxi became less frequent.The smart Xie Rouxi clearly felt that the things her grandfather encountered in Xiang Island were so troublesome that Xie Kangnian, who had always been calm and optimistic, would be particularly irritable and restless.

Finally, after three uneasy months, grandpa Xie Kangnian returned home.An hour later, Xie Rouxi couldn't wait to appear in Xie Kangnian's big study room, but when she saw her grandfather who was extremely haggard and thin after he came back, she almost cried on the spot.

"Grandpa, grandpa, where have you been? Why are you so thin? You are also a lot darker? Grandpa, are you okay? They didn't take good care of you!!" Xie Rouxi cried and hugged Xie Kangnian.

"Xixi, I'm fine. Grandpa is here fine. Don't cry first!"

"Hmm, grandpa has lost weight. You have really lost weight. It's been almost ninety days. It's been so long since I came back. Why are you willing to leave me here alone!" Xie Rouxi wiped the tears on her face and said coquettishly. .

Xie Kangnian silently thanked Rouxi's head, smiled bitterly and did not answer. Instead, he asked Aunt Mei to guard outside the study.She also asked her to send away the other Xie family members, and told her that no one could enter the house to disturb her during this period.Xie Rouxi was confused by what he was doing. She wanted to continue acting coquettishly and cutely, but she found that her grandfather ignored her at all.

Xie Kangnian, who was sitting on the mahogany Taishi chair, was worried. He was silent with a serious face and looked at her worriedly.Xie Rouxi's back was hairy when he saw him, and she couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you? You feel weird, don't scare me!"

Xie Kangnian hesitated for a moment, then said: "Xi Xi, sit here with grandpa and ask you a very serious question. Do you believe in fate?"

"Grandpa, why do you ask this question? Of course I believe in fate, but I don't accept it. I have to make my own decision. This is what you taught me!" Xie Rouxi replied in surprise.

Xie Kangnian asked: "What about the theory of ghosts and gods? If, I mean if, we don't consider materialism for now, do you believe that there are theories of ghosts and gods in this world?"

"I don't believe in ghosts and gods, but I am in awe of all the unknowns in the world. This is what you said, grandpa!" Xie Rouxi replied with a playful smile.Suddenly, she realized that behind her grandfather's abnormality, there seemed to be an unspeakable pain.Xie Rouxi felt a pain in her heart, but she didn't know how to resolve it with her words. She could only try to cover up her inner uneasiness with jokes.

Xie Kangnian, who has been a man for thousands of years, immediately understood his granddaughter's painstaking efforts. He echoed with a forced smile and said: "Xixi, you are worthy of being grandpa's precious granddaughter. She has received the true inheritance! What a pity..."

"What's a pity??? Grandpa, if you have anything to say, just say it, I'm going to die!" Xie Rouxi couldn't hold back her temper and asked anxiously.

Xie Kangnian touched her head and said, "It's a pity that grandpa can't stay with you in the future. Grandpa's deadline is coming soon. He still has about ten days at most."

"The deadline? What deadline? Grandpa is talking about the deadline of life and death?? No, it's impossible!" Xie Rouxi exclaimed.

Xie Kangnian nodded and said in a sad tone: "Yes, it is grandpa's deadline, and there are still about ten days left!"

"No, it's impossible, absolutely impossible! Grandpa, you are teasing me, you are teasing me, right? Grandpa is joking, it must be a joke. Grandpa is in the best health, it's impossible!" Xie Rouxi shook her head desperately, shouted with excitement.

Seeing Xie Kangnian's resigned silence, Xie Rouxi felt that the sky was falling. She shook her grandfather's arm crazily, and a few tears flowed out of her eyes unknowingly.

"Xixi, listen to me first. What grandpa said is true! But don't worry, grandpa has already arranged your future life, and I guarantee there will be no problems. In the future, if grandpa is not around, my Xixi will also Don't wrong yourself, just be happy in everything, don't worry about life, remember?" When he said these words, Xie Kangnian, who had always been confident and conceited, showed unconcealable despair for the first time in his eyes.

Suddenly, Xie Rouxi's tears seemed to have burst. She covered her ears and kept shouting: "No, it's impossible, it's absolutely impossible, Grandpa, it's impossible, right?"

"Xixi, look at me, grandpa told the truth and didn't lie to you!" Xie Kangqian gently grabbed her hands and said word by word.

Xie Rouxi said with tears: "How does grandpa know his own end? I don't believe those magicians. The magicians in Xiangdao are all liars, and their so-called fortune telling is all lies! Grandpa, you can't believe those words, There is no illness or disaster in the body, there is no way that the deadline is still ten days away! I don’t believe it!!”

"Xixi, listen to me. What grandpa said is not lying to you. The deadline is not a fortune-telling prophecy. You calm down first. Grandpa has something very important to tell you. Regarding the causes and consequences of this deadline, I will slowly explain to you Listen, okay?"

"No, no, I don't want to listen, it's a lie, it's all a lie!!" Xie Rouxi was like a child who hadn't grown up, trying to escape the cruelty of fate with desperate denial.

However, mortals can never escape the cruelty of the world, even the extremely wealthy Xie Kangnian.Next, what he was going to tell Xie Rouxi would be another shocking secret.
