Reverse Popularity

That night, Qi Zhuo took Yu Ziyao to a hot pot restaurant, which was located next to the university town.Just in time for the students to finish class and have dinner, crowds gathered in front of the hot pot restaurant. The cars on the road were stuck in traffic, irritably beating the horn on the steering wheel.

"What are you doing here?"

Even through the glass of the car, Yu Ziyao was still a little uneasy in the back seat. Occasionally, he had experienced a few farces when he was recognized by fans on the street. drumming.

"Eat." Qi Zhuo answered concisely, "There is a private room inside. The boss and I have a good relationship, and I have already talked to him in advance."

"Come here to eat?"

"Then what do you want to eat?" Qi Zhuo glanced at him in the rearview mirror.It was a temporary decision to come to the apartment to find Yu Ziyao today. Li Da had other arrangements and did not come with him. Qi Zhuo drove himself, but it was quite safe.

Yu Ziyao frowned: "That's not what I meant..."

He was thinking that a person like Qi Zhuo really doesn't fit in with the atmosphere here, with a neat suit and leather shoes, and a docile hairstyle, he should look like a regular customer of that kind of high-end restaurant.

"Don't you want to listen to the agreement?" Qi Zhuo said something in front of him, turning the steering wheel and driving the car to the underground parking garage.

Yu Ziyao didn't want to understand what this has to do with the agreement. It wasn't until he walked into the store through the door of the back kitchen and saw Qi Zhuo standing and chatting with the owner of the restaurant that he suddenly realized what the man had just told him. "Good relationship" is really good relationship.

This is a strange thing.

You must know that Qi Zhuo did not start from scratch. The Qi family was the first batch of enterprises that were reformed in 1980 in the last century. Those who held power should be counted as grandparents. Now Qi Zhuo is already a "rich third generation." "Well, there is no reason to have anything to do with this ordinary private street hot pot restaurant.

"Next door is the place where I studied undergraduate, and it's also the place where I put HW's entrepreneurial plan on paper for the first time." Qi Zhuo led Yu Ziyao to sit in the private room. The outside is constantly bubbling, the chili and prickly ash are all ups and downs in a piece of red, and the hot pan is full of oil, which is the longest and full of fireworks in the streets and alleys.

Yu Ziyao lowered his eyes, and poked a large piece of fatty beef into the seasoning with chopsticks: "...a bit of a surprise." Since signing the trainee contract, it is rare for Yu Ziyao to have the opportunity to eat such explosive food. This opportunity made her lips glow, red, and slightly swollen, as if she was pouting.

Qi Zhuo didn't move his chopsticks twice, his eyes fell on Yu Ziyao's lips: "What did Qi Hongde tell you when he took you to the old house before?"

"Talk about the agreement."

"anything else?"

Yu Ziyao paused with the hand holding the dish: "...what do you think he should say to me?"

"I don't know." The man sitting opposite put down his chopsticks, his expression became cold, "Yu Ziyao, I never planned to hurt you, and I don't have to." He can tolerate Yu Ziyao's occasional temper, but it doesn't mean You can indulge the boy's concealment from him infinitely.

It seems that Yu Ziyao has been a different person since he came back from a visit to the old house. Although he never shook hands with him, no matter what he said, the boy would only react unmoved... ...It seems to be deliberately pulling the distance between the two people.

This annoyed Qi Zhuo, he had to try his best to restrain himself from doing impulsive and demeaning things.

The meat chewed in his mouth lost its taste, Yu Ziyao simply put down his chopsticks, and he sat down facing Qi Zhuo: "When I ask you questions, you always avoid the important ones, so why should I ask you now? Need to answer?"

Qi Zhuo looked at him sullenly: "What do you want to say?"

"I just want to know why you switched the agreement, and why you waste your energy and money on me again and again." Yu Ziyao finally asked what was in his heart, his fingers under the table were shaking, He was very afraid that Qi Zhuo would give an answer that he didn't want to know, "Obviously we didn't know each other before, right? Or... I remind you of someone else."

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became cold, and even the smoking red pot seemed to be a silent film without temperature.

Yu Ziyao looked at Qi Zhuo's face through the rising white smoke, his vision was distorted by the mist.

Just when Yu Ziyao lowered his eyes in disappointment, thinking that Qi Zhuo was not going to answer his question, the man suddenly said, "I did investigate about your family, and for you, Yu Jian'an is not only not a qualified father , he was even the villain who forced your mother away, right?" The strange thing was that Qi Zhuo was the first to bring up the matter of Yu Jian'an.

The boy frowned in confusion, but nodded obediently.

"My childhood situation is somewhat similar to yours." The man's expression was still calm, and he tapped his fingers on the table twice, as if he was just talking about someone else, "It's just that Qi Hongde is very important to me. , the one who killed my mother."

"What, didn't she commit suicide?" Yu Ziyao blurted out.

"You know about her, Lin Shutong told you?"

Yu Ziyao hesitated for a moment, but nodded in recognition.Before Lin Shutong told him the name of Qi Zhuo's mother, Ning Lan, he searched the name on the Internet with the attitude of giving it a try, but he did not expect that he actually found this woman.

It was news about more than 30 years ago. There was only one blurry black and white photo, and the annotation read the opening ceremony of a certain crew. The inconspicuous supporting role was this woman named Ning Lan, who was also Qi Zhuo's wife. Mother.

The popularity of that drama was not low at the time, and both the leading actors and supporting actors had made some achievements in the later development, at least many people still knew their names when they mentioned them.But Ning Lan was the only one whose name seemed to have disappeared out of thin air after filming the show, and no news could be found.

However, according to the time point that Lin Shutong told Yu Ziyao, Qi Zhuo's mother should have passed away just when he was born. There was more than ten years between the last news and her death. what?

"My father is a paranoid with a twisted mind. He always has the ability to make people around him feel pain." When Qi Zhuo said this, his expression finally loosened, and he frowned as if recalling something unbearable. Frowning, "Ever since my mother married him, he was ready to control this woman's entire life in his own hands, so my mother has not received any job since then, and he has been locked up at home every day until the birth Get off me."

"From then on, Qi Hongde has another puppet that he can manipulate his life with."

"My mother was deprived of her job, and I was deprived of my peers. I always knew he wanted a heir, not a son. Made me really feel myself Existence, only in front of my mother."

"When I was 11 years old, I heard the news that my mother was pregnant. My mother was very happy to tell me about it. I have never seen her so happy. At that time, I was very envious of this unborn child. She is very happy, because only one heir is enough, and my mother can have a child who really belongs to her and can accompany her."

For a long time, Yu Ziyao quietly listened to Qi Zhuo's story of these past events bit by bit. When he heard this, he had already guessed the ending: "But this child died young."

"Yes, Qi Hongde did it himself."

The author has something to say:

If anyone here still remembers the previous plot, they should almost understand why Qi Zhuo is very resistant to his sexual inclinations, because he is afraid that he will become a person like Qi Hongde
