Pretending to be good

Xici and Jiang Mingcheng rolled in mud in the woods and returned home in disgrace.

These days, Jiang's group seems to be busy with things, Jiang Chenhe and his son are both masters, and Jiang Mingcheng is as fearless as a runaway wild horse.

Yuan Jiao sat in the living room, watching the two people who came in from outside.

Jiang Mingcheng hung his necktie with a tie, unbuttoned a few shirt buttons inside, and there were a lot of mud stains on his school uniform jacket and trousers.

Xi Ci was not much better, with his coat on his hand, his white shirt looked clean, but the dirt on his shoes gave him away.

"Why are you coming back now?"

Xici smiled guiltily while taking off his shoes, "We didn't wait for the family car, so we took a taxi back."

Yuan Jiao has never made any demands on him, even if it is learning, he will follow Xici's preferences, learn whatever he likes to learn, and will not force him to learn if he doesn't like it.

But there is only one thing, which is absolutely not allowed in Yuanjiao.

fight.

"come here."

Xici stuffed the coat in his hand into Jiang Mingcheng's hand, and walked towards Yuanjiao, very confused, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Yuan Jiao closed the magazine on his lap, put it on the side of the sofa, took Xi Ci's hand to let him approach, stretched out his hand between his hair, and twisted out a stem of a leaf.

Yuan Jiao held up the leaf stalk, "Fighting again?"

Yuan Jiao's insight is so deep that he dare not challenge it, and the glib lies will only make Yuan Jiao find more loopholes.

I originally planned to admit my mistake and pass, but I didn't expect——

"Aunt Yuan, the school is cleaning up today, so I'm a little dirty."

"General cleaning?" Yuan Jiao looked at Xici, "Xixi, is it general cleaning?"

Xici silently gave Jiang Mingcheng a middle finger in his heart.

"No, there was no cleaning, I got into a fight."

Jiang Mingcheng was stunned, why didn't he see that Gu Xici was so honest?

"Xi Ci you..."

Yuan Jiao looked at Jiang Mingcheng, and said lightly: "Mingcheng, you go up to take a bath first, and then come down to eat."

There is always a gap between stepmother and stepson.

With less estrangement, well water does not interfere with river water, such as the current Yuan Jiao and Jiang Mingcheng.

Those with a lot of separation are flammable and explosive, such as Yuan Jiao and Jiang Mingcheng who just entered Jiang's house.

For Jiang Mingcheng, even if Yuan Jiao and Xi Ci entered the Jiang family, in the final analysis, the two of them are a family.

He is an outsider, and it doesn't make sense to meddle in other people's family affairs.

"Okay, I'll go up first." Jiang Mingcheng put Xici's coat on one side and went upstairs.

Yuan Jiao looked at Xi Ci, although his face was not so serious, he also didn't look very kind.

She has said countless times about fighting in Xici over the years.

"Xixi, did mother tell you not to fight? Did you also promise me that you would not fight again?"

Xici looked very embarrassed, "I promised, but one matter is one matter, Mom, someone bullied your son, I can't stand up and get beaten, let alone this time, they came to the door, if I don't fight back , you have to go to the hospital to see me."

Yuan Jiao looked at him calmly, and sighed helplessly, "You always have a reason."

"I didn't make up this truth, Mom, everything has to be reasonable, and I didn't fight because of being fierce and brave," Xici muttered, "If Dad knows, he won't blame me."

"So you're using your dad as a shield now?"

"I'm stating a fact to you."

"Okay, tell your dad about this in person tomorrow and see what he will say."

Xi Ci was surprised, "Tomorrow?"

"Didn't you say that you wanted to visit your dad? Tomorrow is the prison visit day. It just so happens that you are also on vacation. Are you going?"

Xi Ci didn't seem to react, and was stunned for a long time.

In the previous life, he dared not face it because of guilt, but now he looked at Yuan Jiao anxiously, and asked cautiously, "Can I...can I go?"

"of course can."

Joy floated on Xici's eyebrows, but in the next second he was inexplicably anxious, "Dad, will he...don't want to see me."

"He is your father, how could he not want to see you?" Yuan Jiao looked up at Xi Ci who was already taller than her, timidly but still like a child, and comforted him, "He hasn't seen you in six or seven years Yes, he misses you very much."

Six or seven years is enough for a person to change his face.

Immature children can grow into adults, and handsome men can become bald and pot-bellied uncles.

And Xici's memory of Gu Youchen is even longer than that of six or seven years.

That night, Xici had a dream.

That was a long time ago, he was only ten years old, at the age of being playful and troublesome.

I don't want to go to school and study, so I hide beside the bookcase in the study.

Footsteps sounded, and another hurried footstep approached. The two argued, cursed, and clashed.

He couldn't hear what he said vaguely, but when he heard a scream of pain, he peeked out to look.

He saw a man lying on the ground with blood all over his body.

The wind blowing from the window filled the nostrils with the fragrance of soil and grass and flowers, and the strong smell of blood.

He watched the blood-stained hands reach out to him, wanting to hug him.

He panicked and kept backing away until it was impossible to retreat. The moment he turned around, he was hugged tightly by those hands.

Looking down, he saw grass and flowers.

Xi Ci woke up from the dream, looked around in a panic, and clenched the bed sheet involuntarily.

The window was open, there was wind, the moonlight was bright outside the window, and a layer of silver frost was sprinkled on the window sill.

Early the next morning, Xi Ci and Yuan Jiao had breakfast and said they were going out.

Today's Yuan Jiao's dress is the same as usual, if there is any difference, it is Xici. From the morning to now, the expression of joy and entanglement on his face has not stopped.

Sitting at the dining table, Jiang Chenhe was rarely at home during the weekend holiday. Hearing the news that Yuan Jiao was going out, he asked, "What's going on today?"

Yuan Jiao didn't answer too much, but simply hummed.

It is not good to say or not to say this.

Having said that, Jiang Chenhe inevitably has a grudge in his heart, not to mention, it is not good to go to see his ex without telling the current one.

But Jiang Chenhe is not the one to break the casserole and ask the end, he just told: "Today's temperature is lower than yesterday, and it may still rain, so bring an extra coat."

Yuan Jiao paused slightly for the hand holding the spoon, then put down the spoon, "I know."

"Are you going to work today?"

"The company is supported by Yucheng, I have a day off today."

"Then trouble your driver, take Xici and me there."

Yuan Jiao's words were actually a frank confession of today's whereabouts. Although Jiang Chenhe didn't ask, she didn't have to deliberately hide it.

What's more, she knew in her heart that it was impossible for Jiang Chenhe not to know.

"Xici, let's go."

Xi Ci stood up, "Uncle Jiang, let's go first."

"Well, take care of your mother."

"Don't worry!"

Jiang Chenhe watched the backs of Xi Ci and Yuan Jiao disappear at the door, and the breakfast in front of him was also tasteless.

Aunt Chen brought a cup of coffee and put it in front of Jiang Chenhe, her face was a bit embarrassed.

"Mr. Jiang, there is a saying that I don't know whether I should say it or not."

The cup of coffee that Aunt Chen brought was the bitter coffee that Yuan Jiao often drank, without sugar or milk, he took a sip while holding it, his brows furrowed.

"What?"

"Yesterday, I heard Mrs. Yuan and Xici say, today... go to the prison and see Xici's father."

"Father?" Jiang Chenhe was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Who are you talking about?"

"Xici's father should be Mrs. Yuan's first husband."

Aunt Chen's words were very skillful. She pointed out who Yuan Jiao went to see, and reminded Yuan Jiao that this was the first time she got married.

"husband?"

When Yuan Jiao came to the seashore, everyone knew that a beautiful woman lived in the deserted courtyard of Yuan's family with a child. In the ancient courtyard, Yuan Jiao was under the tree, shaking a fan, blowing the cool wind, under the shade of mottled trees. , icy muscle and bone, charming and moving.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm not talking too much. Mrs. Yuan went to see her ex-husband, and she didn't say hello to you..."

Jiang Chenhe was silent for a moment, then put down the knife and fork he picked up, "There is no need to talk about this matter."

Aunt Chen didn't understand, shouldn't a man react when he hears that his woman is going to see her ex?

"Mr. Jiang, this..."

Jiang Chenhe raised his head and looked at Aunt Chen without any emotion, "Just do your own thing well."

Aunt Chen was intimidated by the warning gaze, and forced a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Okay, I understand."

***

There is Nancheng Prison on the seashore, the southernmost part of the city.

It's like all prisons, and there's nothing special about it.

It was about an hour's journey from Jiang's house to the prison. Xi Ci sat in the car, looking out the window from skyscrapers to big trees on both sides of the road. His already uneasy mood became even more excited.

On the other hand, Yuan Jiao, perhaps because he has been here many times, has an indifferent expression, and sits in the back seat with his eyes closed to rest his mind.

"Mom, has brother contacted you recently?"

Although Gu Nange said before that he would find a chance to meet Yuan Jiao, but today is such a good opportunity, he actually wants to reunite with his family.

Even if the reunion takes place in prison, that's okay.

Yuan Jiao opened his eyes without much emotion, "You mean Nan Ge?"

"Ah."

Yuan Jiao said indifferently: "Your brother is old and has his own ideas."

This probably means that there is no contact.

Yuan Jiao glanced at him, "What? Have you seen it?"

Xici didn't have the nerve to tell how he met Gu Nange, and only vaguely said that he had met once.

Fortunately, Yuan Jiao didn't seem to care much, and didn't ask much.

South City Prison has arrived.

After the driver repeatedly confirmed the destination, he took a few glances at the prison gate.

Yuan Jiao seemed to be familiar with the process of prison visits, and even had a chat with a policeman.

Xici had never been to a prison in his previous life, but he had seen on TV that the prisoner and his family communicated by phone through a layer of soundproof glass.

But this Nancheng Prison seems to be different.

A narrow space with a table, one stool on one side and two stools on the other.

Xi Ci looked around. The red light of the surveillance camera was on. Although the space was airtight, there was no other peculiar smell and it was very clean.

Yuan Jiao sat at the table calmly and looked at Xi Ci, "This place may be different from what you imagined, come here."

Xi Ci obediently sat beside Yuan Jiao, and after a while, the door opened.

Xi Ci was very nervous, holding his breath and looking towards the direction of the door, his eyes were fixed, his muscles were tense, and his eye sockets were sore.

A policeman came in with a folder and asked Yuan Jiao to sign it.

"Miss Yuan, this is your son."

Yuan Jiao smiled while signing, "Well, my son, Xici."

"It really looks like you."

This is not a taunt, but a sincere compliment.

Yuan Jiao smiled and handed the document back to the policeman.

She and Xi Ci were the only two left in the room.

Seeing no one, Xi Ci breathed a sigh of relief.

This is a very strange idea. Because of guilt, I dare not face it, but because of guilt, I just want to face it impatiently.

Three or two footsteps could be heard faintly from outside. Xici looked towards the door, and he seemed to be able to feel the weight and firmness of those footsteps.

He was taught since he was a child that if he walks upright, stands upright and sits upright, a man should hold his head high, be steady and upright.

The moment the door opened, Xici, who was staring at the door, suddenly withdrew his eyes, sat there quietly with his head down, looking for a sense of security as if he was shifting towards Yuan Jiao.

The sound of footsteps gradually approached, under the incandescent lamp overhead, a thick shadow fell over his head, Xi Ci raised his head, and for no reason, the bright light became extremely hot.

Several policemen left the room and closed the door behind them.

That person stood against the light, with his back to the light, his face hiding the darkness, and the place where the darkness and the light meet was half-illuminated.

In his past memory, the role of father was generous, warm and reassuring. He had heard many great truths from the person in front of him, and he remembered them in his heart.

But with the last pair of blood-stained hands, he told him that those great principles are just laws that the weak should abide by.

As long as the strong are strong enough, they can do whatever they want.

Before right and wrong, good and evil were fully formed, Xi Ci saw a pair of bloody hands reaching out to him, bewitching him.

The man was tall and tall standing under the lamp. Although he was wearing special prison clothes, he could not see a trace of abjection.

He looked at Xi Ci.

Xici looked up at him.

In Xici's bright and clear eyes, a familiar yet unfamiliar face was outlined.

Gu Nange's facial features are very similar to his, but he lacks Gu Nange's youthful vigor.

The restrained sharpness has worn away the edges and corners of his face, and time has worn away his ambition, making him look like a handsome uncle who is not threatening or even kind.

Gu Youchen sat across from Xici, but his eyes lightly moved away from Xici, looking at Yuan Jiao.

"You're still the same."

It is no longer the sound line of youth, at this age, it always has a corresponding calmness.

The moment Gu Youchen spoke, Xici lowered his head, his eyes flushed.

He probably guessed that Gu Youchen would be angry and ignore him, he was prepared for everything, but when Gu Youchen really ignored him, he felt inexplicably sad.

He pinched the outer edge of the stool, his knuckles turned white.

Yuan Jiao said indifferently: "You are still the same, what you were seven years ago, you are still what you are now."

The tone of their conversation was so light that they seemed like friends who had only met a few times.

"You used to come here alone."

After hearing this, Xi Ci tensed up all over and listened attentively.

"Nowadays……"

Xici raised his head, looked at Gu Youchen, with red eyes, and called out in a trembling voice, "Dad."

Gu Youchen looked at him with calm eyes, just looked at him.

Without blinking.

Yuan Jiao took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his bag, and handed them over.

"Just smoke it, I don't mind."

Gu Youchen didn't answer Xici's 'Dad', took the cigarette by himself, lit it, took a deep breath, exhaled a long string of thick smoke, slowly upward, in mid-air, covering the bright light.

Halfway through the smoke, Xi Ci's eyes became redder, and his hands trembled with anxiety.

Gu Youchen put out the cigarette, and waved westward, "Come here."

Like a little old man, Xici got up tremblingly, moved his steps, walked up to Gu Youchen, and called again in a low voice, "Dad."

He was afraid, afraid of Gu Youchen's attitude.

Not afraid of his anger, only afraid of his indifference.

Xici stood at a close distance from him.

Gu Youchen looked at him, stretched out his hand and pinched his cheek, "I've grown taller."

Xici's eyes were red and he didn't dare to move.

Gu Youchen finished pulling the left side, and then the right side. It was smooth and tender, and it felt good in the hand. His fair faces on both sides turned red, so he let go.

Xici still didn't dare to move.

And just when Xici felt that he was about to cry——

"You little devil, are you also afraid sometimes?"

The darkness and indifference instantly turned into a warm smile.

Xi Ci stared at the person in front of him who changed his face faster than turning the pages of a book, and was stunned.

It's also strange, no matter how scared, anxious, and sad I was just now, I didn't cry, but now I was made to cry by this sentence.

When he was a child, Xici was very crazy, no one could control him, and he did a lot of bad things.

Every time someone came to him after doing something bad, he might have a guilty conscience and always hide.

No matter how concealed he was, Gu Youchen would always find a way to find him, pinching his cheek, "You little devil, are you also afraid sometimes?"

Xi Ci burst into tears, streaming down.

"Why are you crying? You still look like a girl at a young age." Gu Youchen wiped his tears for him, his hands were a little rough, with several layers of thin calluses on the palms, which made Xi Ci's cheeks hurt.

Xi Ci pursed his lips and did not speak.

Gu Youchen laughed, "It's really the same as when I was a child, it hasn't changed at all, and I cried like this when I was scared."

"You shouldn't scare me!"

"Shouldn't you scare me?" Gu Youchen asked him back, "I haven't seen Dad for so long, Dad not only wants to scare you, but also wants to...beat you!"

As they got closer, Xi Ci could clearly see the three or two wrinkles at the corners of Gu Youchen's face.

It's been six or seven years, and Gu Youchen is no longer young.

Six or seven years ago, in their 40s, it was the age when men struggled.

"Dad, I'm sorry."

Gu Youchen laughed back and said, "Yo, our Xixi will still say I'm sorry?"

In Xici's memory of Gu Youchen, he has never seen him get angry. No matter when, Gu Youchen is always extra patient and tolerant towards him.

Because of this patience and tolerance, he didn't have the courage to face it in his previous life.

Xi Ci looked at him guiltily, "Dad, you are a hero, but I am a villain who betrays a hero."

Gu Youchen looked at him, disapproving of what he said.

"Dad is a murderer, and you are the hero who exposes the murderer. Dad has to pay for what he has done, and he will be punished for doing wrong things. No one can escape the punishment of the law, remember?"

Xici nodded.

It's just that once, when he saw Gu Youchen's hands stretched out towards him, he really thought that as long as he was strong, he wouldn't be punished for doing wrong things.

But Gu Youchen personally told him that no one can escape the punishment.

He stood in court and testified that his father was a murderer.

He saw it, saw it with his own eyes.

But sometimes, what you see with your own eyes is not necessarily all the truth.

"Dad, I'm sorry."

Gu Youchen never blamed him, he rubbed his hair, "I said sorry to my father, come on, give my father a hug and see how heavy it is."

The seat was not restricted, Gu Youchen stood up, and because he was handcuffed, Xi Ci slipped into his arms and hugged him vaguely.

"It's too heavy, Dad can't even hold you."

The long-lost hug and the familiar smell once again made Xici's eyes turn red and the tip of his nose sour.

"I'm eighteen, of course it's heavy."

Gu Youchen seemed to remember, "Eighteen, already eighteen."

Xi Ci felt that he was very heartless, "Dad, when you get out of prison, give me a make-up birthday, okay?"

Gu Youchen was half-joking, "It's okay to make up a birthday, but you don't have to make up a birthday present. Dad asked someone to bring you a birthday present before."

"I don't care for that gift."

"That watch was specially customized by Dad for you and your brother. It's unique, isn't it rare?"

Mentioning Gu Nange, Xi Ci whispered: "Dad, do you know? My brother hasn't come back to see me these years. If I didn't bump into him by mistake two days ago, I wouldn't even know he returned to China."

Gu Youchen pretended to be surprised, "What? Your brother is such an idiot now? He didn't even look for you when he returned home?"

"Yeah, and my brother's playing is really high now," Xici complained without saying a word, "He's still bullying me!"

After hearing this, Gu Youchen said angrily, "Bullying you? How dare he bully your younger brother?"

"No! Dad, when you see him, you have to help me teach him a lesson!"

"Okay! Dad will help you vent your anger."

Yuan Jiao has been sitting there watching their father and son chatting.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they chatted heartily. About half an hour later, Yuan Jiao smiled and said, "Xixi, are you thirsty after chatting for so long?"

Xi Ci's throat was about to smoke.

"Go outside and see if you can find the policeman and bring me some glasses of water."

Xi Ci is not a fool, Yuan Jiao knew the meaning of what he said as soon as he heard it was to distract himself.

But once husband and wife, he is also very happy.

"Okay, I'll go now."

Xici walked out the door, and gave Gu Youchen a cheering gesture before closing the door.

Seeing that Xici had left, Yuan Jiao sat up straight, pulled the hair on both sides to one side, her proud neck was slender and fair.

Compared with Gu Youchen, she really doesn't show any sign of aging.

Gu Youchen looked at her for a while, then smiled and said, "Xi Ci is very good, he has not gone astray, these years, thank you."

"What's there to thank, Xici is my son, I should teach him, and you taught him a lesson too? That's why my teaching became easy."

When a person is born, right and wrong, good and evil are influenced by the teachings of their parents.

Xici grew up from the age of five, and didn't grow up beside Yuan Jiao and Gu Youchen, he was in Yuan's house at that time.

The Yuan family is special. The enlightenment taught him right and wrong, good and evil, distorted and dark.

After five years old, when Xici returned to Gu Youchen and Yuan Jiao's side, he didn't look like a five-year-old child at all.

Yuan Jiao stretched out his right hand, the diamond ring on his ring finger was particularly eye-catching.

Yuan Jiao smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, I'm married again."

Gu Youchen didn't look at the ring, or it could be said that he had noticed the ring on Yuan Jiao's ring finger since he entered the door.

He silently picked up the cigarette and lit another one.

Compared with the previous one, he smoked more rampantly.

"Jiang Chenhe is very good, he is very good to me, and he is also very good to Xi Ci, he gave me and Xi Ci the best, he never treated me badly, and he never treated Xi Ci badly, even today I brought Xi Ci Come to see you, he also said, the weather is cold, let me bring more clothes."

Gu Youchen held the cigarette between his fingers and took a deep drag.

"Mr. Gu, tell me, this man, okay?"

Gu Youchen raised his eyes, his indifferent eyes concealed an unknown intention, "Do you really want to make me angry again?"

"No, dare not, I didn't mean to make you angry, I just want you to explain a fact, do you still want to hear it? I can tell you the details of my marriage with Shen He."

Gu Youchen smoked silently, and the smoke rose upwards, sucked into the exhaust fan, and discharged out of the room.

"He also said that there will be a make-up wedding for me in two days," Yuan Jiao said with a smile, "Mr. Gu, do you need me to postpone your release from prison? I'll give you an invitation when the time comes, so be sure to come. "

"Yuan Jiao," Gu Youchen pressed the cigarette butt, and pointed his finger on the table to get Yuan Jiao's gaze, "You can try."

You can try.

Yuan Jiao wants to laugh.

She tried, but the Huo family went overseas.

"It's different this time," Yuan Jiao said, "Xi Ci has grown up, so you can do it if you want."

"Yuan Jiao!"

"Mr. Gu, we have been discussing this matter for many years. I am not young anymore, and I have a clear mind about what I want."

"Where's Nan Ge?"

"I heard that he has returned to China," Yuan Jiao sighed, "You know, I don't like him very much."

Gu Youchen looked at her seriously.

"Nan Ge is too much like you, too much like you." The last three words are soft and out of tune.

Yuan Jiao stood up, "Mr. Gu, the next time we meet, I'm afraid it will be at my wedding. I hope I can show you face."

Gu Youchen smiled coldly, leaned back, "I found out, your nephew is not dead yet."

Yuan Jiao was taken aback, looked at Gu Youchen, "What did you say?"

Gu Youchen repeated, "Your nephew, he is not dead."

Yuan Jiao gritted his teeth, a gaffe he never did even if the Yuan family fell.

"Not dead? Why didn't he die?!"

Gu Youchen shook his head calmly, "I don't know either."

"You don't know? Don't you know everything? Tell me why he didn't die!"

Gu Youchen didn't want to mention what happened back then, but just sighed, "Don't be with Jiang Chenhe, Xici's cousin is not dead, he will come back and find Xici."

Yuan Jiao trembled all over. She looked at Gu Youchen, gnashing her teeth with hatred, "You bastards!"

Who is not a jerk in life?

Who hasn't done a few assholes?

Gu Youchen did not deny Yuan Jiao's scolding.

"I called Nan Ge back. That kid is like me. He has responsibilities. He will protect Xixi. Don't worry."

Yuan Jiao smiled coldly, "Don't worry? Why don't you let me worry? You just want me not to worry with a few words?"

Gu Youchen closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry for you."

"Mr. Gu, if you really feel sorry for me, don't meddle in my business anymore."

"What do you mean stop meddling in your affairs? We are husband and wife."

Yuan Jiao corrected him with cold eyes, "I used to be Mrs. Jiang now."

Gu Youchen smiled, confident and arrogant, "Mrs. Jiang... How long do you think you, Mrs. Jiang, can last?"

Yuan Jiao looked at his arrogance with deep eyes.

The door opened suddenly, and Xi Ci stood outside the door with a smile, "Dad, Mom, look who is here!"

The tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared.

Xici walked in sideways, and a figure appeared outside the door.

It's Gu Nange.

"Dad, Mom," Gu Nange said with a handsome smile, "Long time no see."

It's been a long time.

Seven years ago when Gu Youchen was imprisoned and Gu Nange went abroad, as long as Gu Youchen was in prison, he would go abroad as long as possible.

Yuan Jiao looked at Gu Nange, slightly lost in thought.

If Gu Nange was just a shadow of Gu Youchen when he was a child, the current Gu Nange has completely become what Gu Youchen looked like when he was young.

Whether it's eyebrows, facial features, or the charm of the whole body.

"It's been a long time." For no reason, Yuan Jiao felt at ease.

"Are you in good health?"

Xici didn't like to hear these words anymore, "Brother, what do you mean by being in good health, do your parents seem to be in poor health?"

Gu Nange laughed, "Okay, you are the smart one."

The three of Yuan Jiao's mother and son were glamorous and beautiful, but Gu Youchen was the only one who was dressed in ordinary clothes, but Gu Youchen couldn't see a trace of embarrassment.

Gu Youchen looked at Gu Nange, his tone was not as conniving as he was towards Xici, but rather strict and critical, "I heard from Xici that you bullied him, what's going on?"

Gu Nange laughed, "Dad, you actually believed it?"

That tone, as if such a wise and powerful person believed the villain's slander.

Xici flaunted his might, "Brother, did you tie me up that day..."

"Okay, okay..." Gu Nange was really afraid that he would reveal the matter. If Gu Youchen knew that Xici had encountered that kind of thing under his nose, even if it didn't happen, it was a false alarm. Lame his leg.

He could almost imagine Gu Youchen's tone and words.

Gu Youchen must have said while beating: "You can't even protect a younger brother, what use are you for!"

"I've already apologized to you, what else do you want?" Gu Nange pinched his face, "Are you still suing?"

"Dad! Look at brother! He's threatening me!"

"Threatening you? Not only threatening you, but I'm going to beat you!"

Gu Nange grabbed Xici's wrist, pulled him in front of him, raised his hand and slapped Xici's ass twice.

Xici staggered and almost fell on Gu Nange's lap.

Only after being beaten did he realize that he was spanked by Gu Nange in public, his face flushed with shame.

Breaking away from Gu Nange's hand, he hid beside Gu Youchen, "Dad! He hit me! He hit me in front of you!"

Gu Youchen never touched Xici's nails, and immediately frowned, "Gu Nange! What's wrong with you!"

Gu Nange patted it twice, and the anger of being sued came out in his heart.

"Dad, you don't know, Xici should hit him!"

"Gu Nange... You, you, you should fight! Dad, look at him, brother to brother! Brothers fighting against each other!"

"You still dare the villain to sue first, let me ask you, who taught you to beat people?"

"Beat someone?" Gu Youchen was sensitive to this kind of behavior, and looked at Xici, "What's going on?"

Xici was also taken aback, trembling, "Why hit someone?"

"How dare you lie to me, were you in the bar with a fat man and beat someone?"

Xici was surprised.

Isn't Jiang Mingcheng responsible for this matter?Why was he still caught?

"Bar?" Not only Gu Youchen was surprised, but even Yuan Jiao was surprised, "Xixi, which bar? Who took you there? Who taught you how to drink?"

It's a deadly triple question.

The eyes of the three focused on him.

It's like a joint trial of three divisions.

Xi Ci bit the bullet, and talked about him from left to right, "Mom, listen to me, this is not what I saw. It was the first time I went to a bar that day to find a friend."

"First time?" Gu Nange smiled, "Come here, tell me to hit me a few more times. If you don't hit me, you won't tell the truth. Do you need me to call out the surveillance cameras of the bars you've been to?"

"Sissy! What's going on?"

Xi Ci really thinks, isn't it just going to a bar?He is eighteen, so what is there to ask.

"Mom, don't worry. It's okay. I just drank a few glasses of wine and nothing serious happened. It's just the last time I hit someone." After finishing speaking, Gu Nange smiled at Xici again: "We Xixi are so brave. People dare to fight alone."

Not angry that he fought, but angry that he didn't think about the consequences after the fight.

Xici's Adam's apple rolled, and he swallowed, not daring to speak.

Yuan Jiao's tone became severe, "When did it happen?"

Ai Ai, Xi Qiqi, "It's just...not long ago."

Yuan Jiao frowned, "Xixi, you let mom down so much."

Gu Youchen frowned, but still held back, and said to Xici: "Xixi, go and apologize to your mother, and promise that you will never do anything to worry her again."

Xi Ci really didn't understand. Since he was a child, what he heard most was don't fight, don't fight, don't fight.

With his innocent appearance, does he look like the kind of person who fights?

Xi Ci said to Yuan Jiao honestly: "Mom, I'm sorry, I was wrong, and I will never fight with anyone again."

Yuan Jiao grimaced and ignored him.

Gu Nange smiled and chimed in, "Mom, you can't really blame Xici for that matter. Xici saw a rough road and saw someone drugging the little girl, so he fought with someone."

Anyway, there is a reason.

Xi Ci hurriedly said: "Yes, Mom, you don't know, that man is really bad, and he drugged the little girl in his wine. I really couldn't stand it before I did it!"

This explanation eased Yuan Jiao's face, but he still said harshly, "You can't fight with people in a strange place! I won't tell you about this matter here, and you can tell me what happened after you go home. Say it again."

"Oh." Xici glared at Gu Nange fiercely, "Brother, have you found that boy?"

Gu Youchen heard the voice and asked, "Boy? What boy?"

Gu Nange was vigilant, uneasy, and flustered, "Xixi, this meal can be eaten indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, what kind of boy, don't talk nonsense!"

"Where am I talking nonsense? Didn't you find a boy who was about my age and was still wearing the uniform of my school. I was mistaken for that boy by your subordinates that day, so I was stripped and sent to your bed Did you go? That's how I saw you."

As soon as Xici said this, Gu Nange immediately felt two sharp eyes focus on him.

"Gu Nange!" Gu Youchen looked at him seriously, "Explain!"

"Nan Ge, these years abroad, mom thinks you are very sensible, so you don't have to worry about me like Xici."

The focus instantly focused on him. Gu Nange felt distressed and looked sad, "This matter... Dad, Mom, you said that I am so old, can't I have some emotional freedom?"

"So what Xi Ci said is true?"

Gu Nange expressed his acquiescence with silence.

"You bastard!"

Xici also scolded on the side: "It's so lawless! Dad, you also take care of him!"

Gu Nange almost laughed out of anger.

This little bastard who pretends to be a tiger!

"If you do something like this in the future, don't blame me for breaking your leg!"

"Broken leg!" Xici exclaimed, "Dad! What are you doing!"

As a parent, Gu Youchen is full of majesty, "The life style is so indiscreet, breaking his leg is still cheaper for him."

This sexual orientation is difficult to change, Xici is gay, and he feels very much about it.

"Father, although what I did was wrong, you can't..."

"Can't what?"

"You can't be beaten to death with a stick..."

"Don't worry, Dad won't beat him to death with a stick, he will just break his legs and vent your anger on you, okay?"

Xici was stunned.

I dare to say this to him, coaxing him to play.

"Okay, break the leg!"

Gu Nange laughed angrily when he saw his bragging appearance.

A prison guard walked in outside the door to remind him that it was time.

This is the first time that a family of four has truly reunited.

There was a sudden silence in the room.

After a long while, Xici looked down at his toes, "Dad, take care of yourself, don't worry, I will come to see you whenever I have the chance!"

Gu Youchen sighed and stroked his head, "The next time we meet, maybe we will be outside."

"That's even better! When the time comes, our family of four..." Xici suddenly stopped talking, and forcibly changed the subject, "Then I'll wait for you to come out!"

Gu Nange said to Yuan Jiao from the side: "Mom, you and Xixi go outside and wait for me first, I still have a few words to say to Dad."

Yuan Jiao glanced at Gu Youchen, "Mr. Gu, then I'll go first, see you next time."

After finishing speaking, he took Xici and walked out without saying a word, leaving here.

Gu Youchen and Gu Nange were the only two left in the empty room, and the previous warm atmosphere immediately dissipated.

The temperament and temperament of the father and son are almost exactly the same, the smiles are suppressed, the coldness of the two is exactly the same, and the atmosphere around them freezes suddenly.

Gu Youchen was the first to speak, "I know everything. During the period when I didn't go out, your mother and your brother will be left to you."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of Mom and Sisi."

"If you have anything to do, you can go to Nanchen. That child grew up beside me, so I can trust you."

"I see."

Gu Youchen looked at his most satisfied and proud son in front of him, narrowed his eyes slightly, "Go."

"Yes."

Xi Ci followed Yuan Jiao out, waited in the car for a while, and then waited for Gu Nange to come over.

Gu Nange knocked down the car window and said with a smile: "Mom, I haven't seen Xixi for so long, let him stay at my place for two days, okay?"

Xi Ci froze, always feeling that these words had bad intentions.
