Excessive deviation

The next morning, the alarm clock rang, but he couldn't get up, and fell asleep after turning his back, but someone was shaking him and calling his name:

"Shi Tian, ​​Shi Tian, ​​it's time to wake up."

Zhong Shitian shrank back into the quilt, he was tortured badly last night, and his energy was exhausted, so of course he couldn't get up.

The quilt was lifted, revealing Zhong Shitian's disheveled body. The person who lifted the quilt stared at him for a while before helping him tidy it up. Then he bent down and hugged his upper body, forcing him to get up.

Zhong Shitian tried his best to open his eyes, and saw Zhao Shuyao's beautiful face was close at hand. He tilted his head back, and then bumped into it with a bang——

He was even more dizzy.

"Bastard..." Zhong Shitian said vaguely.

"Yes." Zhao Shuyao replied with a good temper. He asked Zhong Shitian to wrap his neck around his neck, and when he lifted his hand to Zhong Shitian's hip, Zhong Shitian was hugged by him.

Although this posture was shameful, Zhong Shitian could continue to doze off, so he leaned on Zhao Shuyao's shoulder and obediently asked him to carry him out of the room.

When they were about to come to the bathroom, they suddenly heard a yawn and procrastinated footsteps.

It was only then that Zhong Shitian realized that there were more than the two of them in the family.

He immediately jumped out of Zhao Shuyao's arms, and Li Yangli also walked into the living room.

"Morning." Li Yangli greeted them in a hoarse voice when he saw them. His clothes were wrinkled and his hair was messy. He looked like someone who was tossed by a hangover.

"Morning." Zhong Shitian said, he walked into the bathroom with his waist supported.

"What happened to Shi Tianyao?" Li Yangli asked.

"Maybe it was twisted last night." Zhao Shuyao said meaningfully.

Li Yangli didn't doubt that he was there, went to drink a glass of water, and felt better.

Breakfast is toast and boiled eggs, these things Zhao Shuyao can still do.

The three sat at the dining table, eating breakfast in harmony.

Suddenly Li Yangli said: "Did you hear crying last night?"

"Cough, cough, cough!" Zhong Shitian choked on the milk, turned his head and coughed, his face flushed.

Zhao Shuyao patted Zhong Shitian on the back, and replied calmly: "I didn't hear it, what's wrong?"

Li Yangli asked suspiciously: "I was half asleep and half awake to hear it last night, could it be that I heard it wrong?"

"I heard it wrong, I must have heard it wrong." Zhong Shitian said firmly.

On the way for the two to go to work, Zhong Shitian scolded Zhao Shuyao: "Why is the sound insulation in the room so bad?"

"I don't know either." Zhao Shuyao said innocently.

Zhong Shitian didn't believe him. Zhao Shuyao last night opened his eyes. It turns out that the appearance of the poor little white rabbit these days is all pretending, and he doesn't feel soft-hearted when he tosses people.

"Last night, did you feel good?" Zhao Shuyao asked in a low voice.

Zhong Shitian stared at him, blushing on his face like milk, he didn't know whether it was shame or anger, "You are not allowed to mention it again! It's too much!"

Next, on the way Zhao Shuyao sent him to school, he got angry and didn't say a word to Zhao Shuyao.

Li Yangli stayed in Huashi for half a month, and his board and lodging for this half month was at Zhao Shuyao's house. He proposed that he could sleep in the study or on the sofa by himself, but Zhao Shuyao firmly rejected it. This attitude of not caring about private territory , which is very different from seven years ago.

Zhao Shuyao shared the bed with Zhong Shitian for half a month as a matter of course. Except for a little advantage on the first night, he could only get a goodnight kiss in the following days, but being able to sleep with Zhong Shitian in his arms was enough to satisfy him.

After half a month, Li Yangli left, but they both agreed, and neither of them proposed to divide the room. Zhao Shuyao even moved his wardrobe and computer to Zhong Shitian's room, and his room gradually became a storage room.

In midsummer, the temperature in Huashi has remained at 38 degrees these days. If there is no air conditioner and watermelon, Zhong Shitian will definitely melt.

It was a weekend, and neither of them went out. Zhong Shitian sat on the sofa with half an iced watermelon in his arms, casually browsing the news on his phone, and digging watermelon with a spoon to eat.

Put the spoon into the watermelon and turn it around, you can dig out the round watermelon flesh, eat it in one bite, not to mention how refreshing it is.

He was watching business news, and the words Zhao's enterprise caught his attention.

"The construction is delayed? Why don't they develop and contract this project?" Zhong Shitian muttered.

Zhao Shuyao came over and saw that he had eaten all over his face, so he tore off a piece of paper, pinched his chin to make him look up, and wiped off the watermelon juice.

Zhong Shitian showed him the phone.

"Isn't this a project in cooperation with the government? Why has Mrs. Zhao been procrastinating?" Zhong Shitian asked.

"It's very simple, no money." Zhao Shuyao said, "Give me a bite."

Zhong Shitian dug watermelon for him, but his jaw was clamped again and his mouth was eaten.

*****

Zhao's company chairman's office.

"...We have invited an expert inspection team from the United States. We plan to build a unique commercial plaza in Huashi. The Zhao family attaches great importance to this project, so we must make adequate preparations, but the experts are delayed on the way due to some things... a One month, we will definitely be able to start work in one month.”

The smiling expression on Zhao Mingkai's face disappeared after he put down the microphone, replaced by a sad face, "People from the government are here to urge again, if this continues, this project will rot in our hands."

On the other side of the office, Zhao Jiexiu, who was lazily sitting on the sofa with his legs on the coffee table, played with his mobile phone and said disapprovingly, "Then what can we do, we have no money."

The start-up capital of this project is at least 3000 million, and it is difficult for them to come up with [-] million now.

Zhao Jiexiu's attitude made Zhao Mingkai even more dissatisfied. He walked over and snatched Zhao Jiexiu's mobile phone, "Isn't it because you bid 18 billion to win this bid! If we only paid 15 billion, would we still worry about money today?!"

"Zhao Shuyao's grandson asked for 15 billion, do you think he can't afford it?" Zhao Jiexiu said in a bad tone.

"..." Zhao Mingkai had nothing to say. Contracting this project was the decision he regretted the most. He withdrew all the funds that could be circulated in the company, and filled in the money that could not be moved. He wanted to go to the bank first. Loan, let the project start first, follow-up government bonuses and subsidies, and cooperation with established brands, can provide new funds to make up for that money, but who would have thought that the person above contacted and asked him to transfer the money immediately In the past, they couldn't offend them, so he had to transfer the bank loans and the funds from the sale of several properties, and the plan that had no mistakes died at the first step.

But this doesn't mean that Zhao Jiexiu's attitude of having nothing to do with himself is taken for granted. Zhao Mingkai said angrily: "Have you made the plan for the shopping mall I asked you to do?!"

Zhao Jiexiu clicked his tongue, and muttered, "I can't start work again, so it's useless."

"you!"

The door of the office was pushed open, and Feng Yuxiu, who was wearing an elegant dress and bright makeup, walked in. She held a thermos jar in her hand, and said softly: "The weather is so hot, I brought mung bean soup to my baby."

"Mom, look at Dad." Zhao Jiexiu mocked his mother and complained, "It's obviously Zhao Shuyao's fault that we can't start work, and he always takes it out on me."

Hearing this, Feng Yuxiu gave Zhao Mingkai a reproachful look, "Mingkai, don't always put so much pressure on Jiexiu, he is still a child."

"Child? When I was his age, I didn't know how many tens of millions of contracts I signed!" Zhao Mingkai said angrily.

"But the current situation, do you have any way to reverse it?"

Feng Yuxiu's words made Zhao Mingkai feel stuck in his throat.

"Let me tell you, let's go to Zhao Shuyao for the money." Zhao Jiexiu said, "The blood of the Zhao family is bleeding in his body. Shouldn't he help the Zhao family when it's in trouble?"

Zhao Mingkai looked at him in shock, feeling extremely absurd, "How could you say such things to him?"

Feng Yuxiu stood by her son. "It's been so many years. He is the boss of a big company now, and he still takes the old things to heart. Isn't he too petty?"

Zhao Mingkai is disgusted with this wife who has become increasingly bitter since the company went downhill, "No matter what you say, I will not go to Shuyao."

"Shuyao Shuyao, calling him so close, you only have his son in your heart?" Zhao Jiexiu sarcastically said.

These words hit Feng Yuxiu's pain point, she took her son's hand and said, "Go, go to your office, we and mung bean soup, don't talk to him."

Zhao Mingkai was the only one left in the office, his figure exudes a desolate and weak breath.

If he had been able to persevere to the end and go on with Masako back then, how would he be where he is today?

*****

However, the crisis in front of Mrs. Zhao was not resolved, and a thunderbolt fell.

Someone reported that the Zhao family remits a large amount of funds from unknown sources every year, and then transfers them out, which is suspected of laundering money for others.

The police immediately intervened in the investigation, seized all the accounting documents of Zhao and froze its funds.

Zhao Mingkai was taken away for investigation. He went there in the morning and came back in the middle of the night. He looked older than ten years old.

"How's the situation? What did the police ask you?" Feng Yuxiu didn't even pour water for him, and asked eagerly as soon as he came up.

Zhao Mingkai just shook his head tiredly, his heart ashamed.

As soon as he got the news of being reported, Zhao Mingkai contacted his superiors for help, but he couldn't get through the phone, so he realized that the Zhao family had been abandoned.

"Ming Kai, tell me, will the Zhao family go bankrupt?" Feng Yuxiu asked tremblingly.

Zhao Mingkai sat down, touched his face, but still didn't speak.

Feng Yuxiu's heart gradually cooled down, she looked at this slumped old man, instead of comforting and caring, hatred rose up instead.

Does she love Zhao Mingkai?I loved him, otherwise I wouldn't have let go of my pride and begged him to come home after knowing he was cheating.But this kind of love has long since disappeared when he often misses another woman.When the Zhao family was thriving, Zhao Mingkai was willing to leave more warmth to her, but when the Zhao family was in trouble, he would mention that woman, as if she was a cloud in the sky, and she, Feng Yuxiu, was just mud.Compared with love, the generous life and grand identity that Mrs. Zhao gave her are more practical, but when all these are about to be lost, this man will have nothing to cherish anymore.

"Then let's get a divorce." Feng Yuxiu calmed down, "You're going to go to jail, so don't implicate me and Jiexiu."

Zhao Mingkai's hands trembled, he raised his head, and looked at her in disbelief with his cloudy eyes.

*****

The police set up a task force to carry out a close investigation, and found that there are two fixed time periods every year, there will be a huge sum of money remitted from a French account, the least amount is [-] million, after three to four months of Zhao's stay, Zhao Mingkai will remit the exact amount of money to an American company through his private account.After investigation, this company is a leather bag company, and it was canceled a month ago.

The funds remitted from France most likely came from an international smuggling group. After several days of interrogation, Zhao Mingkai finally admitted to the charge of money laundering.This crime involving nearly tens of billions of funds declared the bankruptcy of the Zhao family, and Zhao Mingkai was sentenced to more than ten years in prison.

What Zhao Mingkai didn't expect was that the first person who came to see him was actually Zhao Shuyao.

"Did you do it?" Zhao Mingkai was wearing a prison uniform, haggard, "You are not cruel like me, nor like Masako."

"Cruel?" Zhao Shuyao sneered, "I don't think it's cruel to let a criminal who gets away with it be brought to justice."

Zhao Mingkai was out of breath, and he hammered his chest hard a few times before he managed to calm down, "Since your goal has been achieved, why do you still come to see me?"

"I just want to see what you look like, and go back and describe in detail to my mother how embarrassed you are." Zhao Shuyao tilted his head and smiled.

Zhao Mingkai stood up abruptly, lying on the window with his eyes red like crazy, "Don't, don't tell her! Don't tell her! Don't tell her!"

The prison guards immediately came over and pressed him down.

Zhao Shuyao calmed down, seeing enough of his ugliness, he got up and walked towards the door, and after taking a step, he turned back and said, "By the way, when I was in Japan three years ago, I had dinner with Uncle Zhang several times. We got along very well."

Uncle Zhang...Mr. Zhang...is the leader who provided the Zhao family with black money.

It turned out that from the beginning to the end, Zhao Shuyao participated in it, destroying everything about him step by step.

*****

Inside a small hotel.

"Mom, can we change places? I'm allergic." Zhao Jiexiu complained, scratching his neck non-stop.

"My dear son, bear with me, we will change places when we get the money." Feng Yuxiu comforted.

All of Zhao Mingkai's properties were frozen, even if she got divorced, she would not get a dime, and she didn't even have a place to live, so she could only temporarily live in this small hotel, in the cheapest big bed room.

"You say that every time!" Zhao Jiexiu's patience was exhausted, "How can I get money, you said it!"

Feng Yuxiu took out an envelope from her bag, inside was a stack of photos, the photos were blurry, and the angle was very off, it looked like a candid shot from a long distance.

But from some of them, two men can still be identified, one of them is Zhao Shuyao, they hold hands and hug each other.

"*! Zhao Shuyao's partner is a man? He's gay!" Zhao Jiexiu said contemptuously.

"The point is not whether his partner is a man or a woman, but—" Feng Yuxiu pointed at another man and smiled meaningfully, "This man is his weakness."
