Chapter 44
As soon as Yu Ziyao said that, he realized that he had overreacted. He shut his mouth and stared at Qi Hongde in front of him, his hands hanging by his sides were clenched into fists.
Qi Hongde's gaze was like a snake watching its prey in the cellar, making Yu Ziyao feel uncomfortable, but he didn't want to show weakness in front of such an old man, so he raised his head and stared back: "No matter what you say, I won't go with you of."
He was beating a drum in his heart, Yu Ziyao was afraid that Qi Zhuo would really transfer some bullshit agreement back to Qi Hongde—although it was the first time he met this smelly old man, he instinctively didn't like Qi Hongde.
"Hmm..." Qi Hongde squinted his eyes on the opposite side of him, and tapped the pillar twice with his hand holding the crutch, "No wonder that kid wants to grab something from me." He smiled instead of anger.
"Has Qi Zhuo ever told you that he likes your eyes very much?"
Yu Ziyao's lips moved, and he looked cautiously at Qi Hongde.
The old man in front of him burst into a burst of laughter suddenly: "Don't worry, he is my son after all, and everything I own from now on will be his... If he wants to take away some insignificant things, he can take it away."
Yu Ziyao hated him saying that, as if he was just a pawn on the chessboard for the father and son, or a chip on the gambling table.However, what Qi Hongde said made him doubt Qi Zhuo's motive for taking him home. He obviously didn't know anyone at the beginning, so why did Qi Zhuo insist on making such trouble for himself.
"You just said that I look like a person." Yu Ziyao squeezed his fist, "Who do I look like?"
Qi Hongde glanced at him, and the smile on his face faded a bit: "It's just a matter of the past." He responded in a low voice, then coughed twice, and returned the volume to normal.
"After dinner, we can talk slowly."
"No need." Yu Ziyao stretched out his hand, "Tell Hu Man to return the phone to me, I'm going back."
"Leave after dinner."
"I'm leaving now!" Yu Ziyao finally couldn't help it, he didn't bother to care about the phone, turned around and ran out the door.
He ran to the door, only to find that the damn door was locked from the inside. He thumped hard twice: "Open the door! I want to go back."
"Don't waste it..."
Before Qi Hongde finished speaking, the door was suddenly opened from the outside, Yu Ziyao's weight shifted, and he almost fell, but fortunately, someone outside helped him: "...Are you alright?"
With the gentle female voice, Yu Ziyao immediately realized what the softness on his chest was, straightened up immediately, and blushed: "I'm fine." What are you doing here?
Speculations about the relationship between Lin Shutong and Qi Zhuo began to reverberate in his mind again, and Yu Ziyao froze for a while, not knowing how to react.
"Ah."
He heard Qi Hongde sneer twice behind him.
Lin Shutong seems to be dressed very casually today, and it can be seen that her hair is not well taken care of, which is completely different from her usual image.Seeing Yu Ziyao standing still, she raised his arm to check him.
Yu Ziyao was treated like this by the actress who was shorter than him, and he was not excited but confused: Are the two of them familiar?
Also, why can Lin Shutong get in and out of the Qi family's gate so easily.
Could it be... She and Qi Zhuo are already secretly married? !
Yu Ziyao's thoughts flew thousands of miles away, and he didn't realize that when he was dealing with Qi Zhuo's network information, he would always regard all possible people as Qi Zhuo's male and female companions.He always has natural malice towards these people, just like a wolf treats all possible intruders, always examining them with sharp and cautious eyes.
Lin Shutong didn't know what the boy in front of her was thinking in front of her. After roughly checking Yu Ziyao's condition, she raised her head and looked directly into Qi Hongde's eyes: "Mr. Qi, let me get the documents that President Qi left here. .”
Qi Hongde let out a sneer, and then sat back on the sofa in the living room with his left hand in a gesture of letting go, still muttering to himself: "Get the information, heh, that kid hasn't come home for 800 years, What information can be found here?"
"Wait here for me." Lin Shutong turned around and helped Yu Ziyao's shoulder, then stepped on high heels and quickly walked into the apartment.
Yu Ziyao was still staring at her back in a daze.
What do you mean?
Did Lin Shutong mean to take him away by saying that?
In the living room, Qi Hongde didn't mention what Yu Ziyao left behind. On the contrary, his facial expression softened a lot compared to just now, but the eyes he looked at Yu Ziyao were still weird.
Yu Ziyao couldn't tell what kind of expression that was. If it was purely scrutiny, then there seemed to be something else mixed in that look, which reminded him of the way Qi Zhuo looked at him when he brought him home earlier. Eyes—as if looking at another person through him.
This recognition startled Yu Ziyao, his heart sank, and he had a premonition that the answer to the question he had been looking for might not be what he expected.
"I want to remind you." Qi Hongde opened his mouth, "Although the Qi family does not lack money to support another person, since you want to be by Qi Zhuo's side, you should change your habit of being a wild boy and don't give money to the Qi family. Bring any unnecessary trouble."
"Also, don't move your mind when you shouldn't. I know better than you what my son thinks. There are many people who want to climb into his bed...but it's definitely not you." He put on an elder face, but He didn't shy away from talking about his son's privacy in bed, as if Qi Zhuo's life was just a plaything in his hands.
Yu Ziyao was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he had already called out.
"Are you sick?! Which father is talking about his son behind his back!" The emotions accumulated since he entered this gate were like a volcanic eruption. Facing Qi Hongde's aging and ugly face, he almost wanted to Reach out and tear it apart.
It's very strange, obviously Yu Jian'an treats him like an object, but Yu Ziyao can still ignore it, but the same thing happened to Qi Zhuo, but he is like a dynamite that has been ignited by someone. The strings will break at any time.
He thought, no matter what Qi Zhuo was thinking about him at this moment, he felt a little sympathy from the bottom of his heart.It's not the kind of pity that is superior, but the same feeling.
They all have a ridiculous father.
And Yu Ziyao knows better than anyone else that since they were born in a twisted family, they have already been in hell.
The tinnitus that had disappeared for a long time came back, locusts were screaming in his head, Yu Ziyao opened his eyes, and saw Qi Hongde's dry and white lips opening and closing in his vision, but he couldn't hear a word.
No matter how you warn yourself, don't be like your parents, and even disobey all their teachings and orders for this.But those family relationships that have deteriorated are like a pool of sewage hidden in the depths of the brain, and the stench is emitted from time to time to show the sense of existence, and it follows like a nightmare.
Will I become another Yu Jian'an?
And you, will you become another Qi Hongde?
"Zi Yao, Zhen Ping said that she still has something to do with you, so she wants you to go back to the company first."
The soft female voice dragged him back to reality, and the thoughts that had diverged just now suddenly returned. Yu Ziyao glanced at her suspiciously, not realizing how bad his face was.
"You..." Lin Shutong frowned, turned to look at the old man on the sofa, "You don't have to pay too much attention to what insignificant people say, go away."
Seeing that Yu Ziyao was motionless like a statue, with cold sweat still on his forehead, she immediately grabbed Yu Ziyao's wrist and walked out.
Hu Man ran all the way from the courtyard: "Master Qi, look at this—"
"Let them go." The old man on the sofa tapped his cane, and the expression on his face had returned to the cold one at the beginning, "I've finished what I have to say."
……
"Your mobile phone." Lin Shutong didn't know when she got it from Hu Man, and she put it in Yu Ziyao's hand, "Can you drive?" She tried to distract the boy in front of her, Yu Ziyao's face turned pale It was scary, 17 years younger than himself, Lin Shutong felt more and more unbearable to see him as a younger brother after all.
"No." It wasn't until Yu Ziyao opened his mouth that he realized that his voice was so hoarse.
"Wow, I wanted to be lazy at first, but it seems that I have to let this lady drive for you." Lin Shutong opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat.
Only then did Yu Ziyao slowly sit in.
"Go back and call Qi Zhuo on his home phone to report his safety." Lin Shutong lit the car and drove onto the road, "He heard that you were taken away by Qi Hongde's men, so he called me in a hurry."
The expected answer did not appear. In the quiet compartment for a long time, Yu Ziyao suddenly asked, "Do you know why Qi Zhuo lied to me about the agreement?"
The atmosphere suddenly froze for a bit, Lin Shutong thought for a while, and said, "Because Qi Hongde is not a good person, you won't end well if you fall into his hands."
"Then why did Yu Jian'an still send me to the Qi family? I haven't heard anything about the Qi family before."
Lin Shutong glanced at him: "That's strange, don't you know what happened between your parents and Qi Zhuo's mother?"
"What do you mean?" Yu Ziyao stared suddenly, "They never told me."
"..." Lin Shutong didn't seem to expect Yu Ziyao's ignorance of this matter, and sighed, "I'm an outsider after all, and I don't know much about the matter, so let's make a long story short."
"Back then, your mother had saved Qi Zhuo's grandmother's life. Later, Qi Zhuo's mother had been secretly helping your parents. However, your father seemed to think that it was Qi Hongde's intention. I guess he must have thought that before he died. Qi Hongde is affectionate and righteous, and will not treat you badly, and the Qi family will not be greedy for your family's little money, so they send you here."
"By the way, how has your mother been in recent years?"
"Her?" Yu Ziyao didn't understand what he heard, "She left long ago."
Lin Shutong shook her hand on the steering wheel: "What?"
"She divorced my father a long time ago, and I don't know where she is now." Yu Ziyao looked indifferent.
"So, all these years' money has been embezzled by your father alone?!"
