"He is your father, are you still afraid of him?"
As soon as he saw Hu Shu, Yu Xiuyan couldn't wait to come up to meet him, just happened to hear Hu Shu's words, and his face was full of surprise.
"Of course, I have never seen anyone who is not afraid of him."
Hu Shu nodded without even thinking about it, with a look of course on his face.
"Others are others, you are you."
Yu Xiuyan still couldn't believe it.
For people like them, the elders in the family are indeed more dignified.
But to be truly afraid, maybe the children who are a little favored at home are not very afraid of their elders.
Hu Shu, as the only one of the Hu family, not to mention being treated like a jewel by the head of the Hu family, at least he wouldn't be so afraid, right?
"Anyway, I'm afraid of him..."
Seeing the disbelief on Yu Xiuyan's face, Hu Shu became a little unhappy and muttered in a low voice.
That appearance, as if seeing that other children got candy, he was wronged as if he didn't have it.
Seeing Hu Shu like this, what else can Yu Xiuyan say?
Of course, he made a quick apology, for fear of offending the young master he loved.
But Li Xingchen, seeing Hu Shu like this, immediately seemed to think of something:
"So those strange rules that you have to abide by are all made by Patriarch Hu for you?"
"That's right." Hu Shu nodded without thinking, and gave Li Xingchen an affirmative answer.
"Then you haven't been to school since you were young..." Hearing this, Yu Xiuyan also hurriedly asked.
"Father said that tutors can teach me everything I can learn in school." Hu Shu answered very naturally.
"Then you said you haven't made any friends since childhood?" Yu Xiuyan then asked aloud.
"Because I haven't met any friends of the same age since I was a child."
When Hu Shu said this, he paused for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and spoke again:
"It's not that there are no, but they are all children of the family staff, probably because of their father, so they are not very close to me."
Hu Shu's words were more polite, but Li Xingchen and the others could understand them.
To put it bluntly, they are the children of the staff at home, but in fact these people are all subordinates of Patriarch Hu.
Although Huaxia now advocates equality for everyone, the head of the Hu family holds the jobs of these subordinates. How can the people working in the Hu family put themselves in the same position as their superiors?
Correspondingly, the children of one's own family and the children of the master's family have different status.
Not to mention the Hu family, even the Fu family, the Yu family, and the Chu family, the situation is the same.
Otherwise, it would not be Yu Xiuyan, who have similar family backgrounds, who can be called Fu Tingshen brothers now.
"The door guards that you have to be home before seven o'clock?" After getting the answer, Yu Xiuyan was also silent for a moment, but he still didn't give up and continued to ask.
"This is also my father's rule, but I don't know the reason. It's been like this since I was a child." Hu Shu nodded, and there was also a trace of doubt in his tone.
"Since childhood?" Li Xingchen frowned slightly. Hu Shu's words were a bit inconsistent, right?
Just now I said that I have been living in the Hu family since I was a child and never went out.
Now it is said that since childhood, there has been an access control that must go home at seven o'clock in the evening.
Since he never went out, how could there be access control?
"When I was a child, it was fixed that I had to return to the house before seven o'clock in the evening."
Seeing Li Xingchen's doubts, Hu Shu seemed to know what Li Xingchen was thinking, and quickly added something.
"Your father is very strict with you."
Even though he knew this a long time ago, Yu Xiuyan still couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
It's fine if you're away from home.
In the Hu family's own territory, there is actually a rule of seven o'clock in the evening.
In comparison, the access control at seven o'clock doesn't seem unacceptable?
"Since this is the case, why is Patriarch Hu willing to let you go out?" The person who asked this question was Fu Tingshen. When he asked this question, Fu Tingshen looked at Hu Shu with a look of scrutiny.
Since Patriarch Hu took care of Hu Shu so strictly, how could he allow Hu Shu to appear frequently in front of the public in recent months?
"I don't know about that." Who knew that Hu Shu was also at a loss for this question, "At the end of June, my father suddenly asked me if I wanted to go out to play, I said yes, and then my father agreed to let me go out. "
"At the end of June?" Li Xingchen frowned slightly.
"That's right, it was around ten o'clock in the evening on the 24th. I was about to fall asleep at that time, and my father came into my room suddenly. I was so scared that I almost thought I had done something wrong..."
Hu Shu nodded, as if recalling the scene at that time, with a look of lingering fear on his face.
June 24th, still at night...
Li Xingchen raised his eyes and took a deep look at Fu Ting who was standing beside him.
At this point in time, it can be said that Li Xingchen and Fu Tingshen are relatively sensitive.
Because Li Xingchen went to trouble Mr. Ding and found out that Mr. Ding was a puppet, which happened to be June 24th.
At ten o'clock in the evening, at this time, Mr. Ding happened to have died.
Adding the two time points together is a bit too coincidental.
But whether it's Li Xingchen or Fu Tingshen, the thing they least believe in is coincidence.
Thinking of this, Li Xingchen turned his eyes slightly, glanced at Patriarch Hu, who was not too far away from them, and then said casually:
"Actually, when Patriarch Hu came to talk to us just now, I was almost taken aback. After all..."
Speaking of this, Li Xingchen seemed to have thought of something, and a trace of apology appeared on his face.
Then he looked up at Hu Shu, as if he was a little afraid that he would be unhappy, and seeing that Hu Shu's face was normal, he continued to say:
"After all, Patriarch Hu's condition doesn't seem to be very good?"
"Huh? You mean the father's body?"
Hu Shu didn't understand the reason for the apology on Li Xingchen's face just now, but after hearing the following words, he immediately reacted.
"Father's health was very good before, but it has been nearly two years since he became like this."
"Huh?" A hint of curiosity appeared on Li Xingchen's face at the right time, and he looked at Hu Shu, as if willing to hear more about him.
"To be precise, it should have been nearly a year."
Seeing Li Xingchen curious, Hu Shu also fell into memory.
"A year ago, my father's physical condition was always very good, and his appearance was also well maintained. If you don't look carefully, he is no different from someone in his early thirties."
"However, since last year, my father's body suddenly changed for some reason."
"First, I had a serious illness, and after nearly a month of treatment one after another, after the recovery, my mental outlook was not as good as before, and my whole person became much weaker."
"It was also from that time that my father's hair gradually became gray, and his appearance gradually approached his real age."
"Later, my father's aging rate was much faster, and then around June this year, after my father asked me if I wanted to go out, he fell ill again."
"And then it becomes what you see now."
When it came to Patriarch Hu's physical condition, Hu Shu's tone was very normal, without much fluctuation.
It looked like the man he said was not his father, but a stranger.
"Suddenly deteriorated?"
To be able to say that today's banquet is to meet the parents is enough to show that in Yu Xiuyan's heart, Patriarch Hu is equivalent to his father-in-law.
Hearing Hu Shu's words now, he was naturally concerned, and quickly uttered his worried voice:
"Do you know the reason? Do you need to find an expert to take a closer look?"
"I don't know about this. I also asked my father, but my father said that there is no serious problem. It is just a problem that the Hu family will have in the past generations."
Hu Shu shook his head, his tone was still normal, and after a pause, he added another sentence:
"You also know that the Hu family has never lived a long life."
"Nonsense," Hu Shu said in a normal tone, but Yu Xiuyan jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on when he heard Hu Shu's words, "What do you mean life is not long? Now that medicine is advanced, The average life expectancy has reached 80 years old, and you will surely live a long and healthy life!"
Regarding Yu Xiuyan's hopping, Hu Shu just smiled and didn't speak.
Li Xingchen, on the other hand, exchanged glances with Fu Tingshen after hearing Hu Shu's words.
I used to be in good physical condition, but within a year it suddenly became like this.
What's more coincidental is that the timing of Patriarch Hu's two illnesses coincided with the timing when Li Xingchen discovered the puppet.
Still the same sentence, neither Li Xingchen nor Fu Tingshen believed in coincidences.
If it was said that Li Xingchen's suspicion of Hu Patriarch was seven points just now, it has directly reached nine points now.
"Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom." After getting the information he wanted, Li Xingchen was about to leave the venue to exchange information with Mo Yi who also sneaked into the banquet.
"Do you need me to lead the way?" Hu Shu quickly looked at Li Xingchen and asked.
"No need, I think the banquet should start soon at this time, in case Patriarch Hu can't find you later, don't you have to be scolded?"
Li Xingchen smiled and shook his head, joking, let Hu Shu lead the way, what else is he playing?
As soon as he heard Li Xingchen's words, Hu Shu really immediately dismissed the idea of taking Li Xingchen to the bathroom.
It can be seen that the awe of Patriarch Hu can be said to be directly engraved into Hu Shu's bones.
"Go ahead, if you dare to sneak aside to be lazy and leave me here alone, don't blame me for arresting people."
At this time, Fu Tingshen also said something to Li Xingchen jokingly, and then let go of Li Xingchen's hand that had been holding him from the beginning.
Li Xingchen only waved to Fu Tingshen, then walked over to the bathroom.
Before going to the bathroom, Li Xingchen saw Mo Yi in an evening dress in a corner.
Seeing Mo Yi, Li Xingchen walked straight to the bathroom without stopping.
When Li Xingchen came out of the bathroom, the place where Mo Yi was standing just now was already empty, except for an extra lipstick on the bathroom countertop.
As soon as he saw Hu Shu, Yu Xiuyan couldn't wait to come up to meet him, just happened to hear Hu Shu's words, and his face was full of surprise.
"Of course, I have never seen anyone who is not afraid of him."
Hu Shu nodded without even thinking about it, with a look of course on his face.
