Chapter 256 Treat Lin Qi Well

Xu Zhaoyuan himself is about 1.83 meters tall, his ex-wife is about 1.65 meters tall, and the son in front of him is half a head taller than him.

This height doesn't look like the one that was grown after years of hunger.

His skin was whiter than that of his father, who had never worked, and his fingers were long and beautiful, with only a thin layer of calluses. They were not like those of people who worked all year round, whose fingers became wide, rough, and deformed...

He couldn't help but wonder, did his son really suffer a lot?

Even someone who takes good care of themselves can't do what he does, right?

And the same goes for Lin Qi, who is about the same age as his son, but looks only seventeen or eighteen. She doesn't look like a mother who has given birth to seven children. She is clearly younger than a high school student!

Xu Hexiao wanted to wait for Xu Zhaoyuan to speak first, but after waiting for a few minutes, Xu Zhaoyuan on the other side just stared at him in a trance. Xu Hexiao ran out of patience and took the initiative to ask, "I just heard that you married a second wife, so where is my mother?"

"Gone." Xu Zhaoyuan apologized. "When we were crossing the sea, your mother and your uncle were on another boat. Our boat was one in front and one behind. When the boat was halfway across the sea, there was a sudden sound of gunfire, followed by a bomb explosion. The boat was blasted with holes and caught fire. I saw with my own eyes that the boat your mother was on sank."

"You didn't see my mother's body." Xu Hexiao said.

"I didn't see her. But your mother can't swim. Once she falls into the water, her chance of survival is very slim." Xu Zhaoyuan's face was full of grief. He had a good relationship with his first wife, and he was very sad when he saw his wife's death.

Xu Hexiao pursed his lips, "What about my uncle?"

"I saw your uncle's body. He was injured by a bomb. His abdomen was bleeding profusely, dyeing the entire ocean red. I was sure he was dead at the time, and I watched him sink into the sea bit by bit. Later, after going through untold hardships, I got to the shore. I also went to look for your mother and your uncle, but I searched for two months and there was no news about them at all."

“…”

A long time ago, Xu Hexiao accepted the assumption that his mother had died, but now that he heard it with his own ears, his heart still ached.

The father and son were both silent. This time, Xu Zhaoyuan was the first to break the silence, "What about your grandfather? How did he go?"

Xu Zhaoyuan's voice choked and his eyes turned red.

Xu Hexiao looked at him like this, thinking of how he was deceived by his second wife, and felt angry and resentful. He said angrily, "What's the point of being sad now? Why didn't you come back? Don't you want to come back just because you heard that we died? You won't even come back to collect our bodies?"

"Oh, to put it bluntly, it's because you have a new family that I don't want to take risks."

Xu Zhaoyuan was speechless. His son was telling the truth and he had no way to refute it. He had finally calmed down at that time. He had experienced the feeling of being on the verge of death and was afraid. He didn't dare to do it again.

So when his friend told him that his father and son were dead, he felt at ease staying in Hong Kong and started his new life.

"I'm sorry!" Xu Zhaoyuan lowered his head.

"No need." Xu Hexiao sneered, "You don't have to feel sorry for me, because I have no intention of recognizing you. I will treat my father as if he died in the sea."

Xu Zhaoyuan raised his head suddenly and looked at his son in disbelief, "..."

Xu Hexiao looked at him expressionlessly, "I won't recognize you, and we won't take your things, so take care of your wife and children. If they dare to disturb Qiqi and my children, I will definitely not be polite!"

"They are far away in Hong Kong City and won't come. Besides, she and I are divorced." Xu Zhaoyuan explained hurriedly, "My property will belong to you and the children from now on. I have already made a will about this."

"We don't want it." Although Xu Hexiao was surprised that Xu Zhaoyuan left all the family property to him and his sons, he was too lazy to ask the reason.

"Take it. This is the only thing I can give you." Xu Zhaoyuan smiled bitterly. "Can you tell me about your life in Anliang Brigade? Last time your wife only said that you lived in the cowshed. What happened later?"

"What happened later?" Xu Hexiao smiled. "Later, because Qiqi saved someone, she didn't want the credit. She gave it to me, and I was commended by the police station. The captain allowed me to build a house. Qiqi helped build the house, and she did most of the work..."

Next, all Xu Zhaoyuan heard was himself praising his daughter-in-law for how good and capable she was. Xu Zhaoyuan thought of Lin Qi's delicate appearance and expressed deep doubt about his son's words.

Xu Hexiao also knew that he didn't believe it, but even if he didn't believe it now, he would believe it in the future.

"Grandpa left a will, leaving all the Xu family's property to me and Qiqi. Grandpa specifically said that all the gold and jewelry belonged to Qiqi."

Xu Zhaoyuan's pupils shrank, "Did your grandfather really say that?"

"You don't believe it?" Xu Hexiao chuckled. "Grandpa was afraid that you wouldn't believe it, so he wrote the will himself and also wrote letters to each of you. Wait a moment, I'll go get your copy."

After Xu Hexiao left the restaurant, Xu Zhaoyuan was restless, thinking about what his father would say in the letter? Would he blame him, comfort him, or just express his longing for him?

Xu Zhaoyuan stood up and walked to the door of the living room. When he saw his son coming, he immediately went to meet him. Seeing his anxious look, Xu Hexiao felt complicated. If he really cared so much, what was he doing in the first place?

Xu Hexiao handed over the box in his hand, "This one is yours."

Xu Zhaoyuan took it with both hands, looking extremely cautious.

"Grandpa wrote several wills, and the contents of the wills are all the same. In addition to yours, Qiqi and I also have one. So even if you don't want to recognize the will and tear it up, it's useless. The things are all Qiqi's, and you can't take them away."

"Why do you think I would snatch your property? I wish I could give all my property to you, so how could I rob you?" Being suspected by his own son, Xu Zhaoyuan felt extremely sad.

"I will naturally protect Qiqi's things."

“…”

So you don’t care about your stuff?

Xu Zhaoyuan opened the box, and inside it was indeed a will and a letter addressed to him. The will was as his son had said, his father instructed that all the Xu family's property should be given to his son and daughter-in-law, and all the gold bars and jewelry should be given to his daughter-in-law. He told his parents, uncles, aunts, and cousins ​​not to rob them.

Not only that, in the letter he wrote to him, there was no blame or longing, but all he wrote was how Lin Qi took care of him, an old man, especially in his last days, it was Lin Qi who saved him from physical pain... At the end of the letter, he carefully urged the Xu family to treat Lin Qi well. This was also his last wish.
