Chapter 92 Self-deception
Qi Mo's eyes revealed a trace of pity, and he slowly said: "Don't forget, the reason I am willing to return to China is because you promised that from now on, you will not interfere with me again."
"You've always tried to control my life. At your behest, I learned piano in elementary school, which I didn't like, and studied finance and management in college, which I didn't like."
"At your request, I strive to do everything well."
"After so many years, if you're not tired, then I'm tired too."
"Now you want to take control of my marriage?"
Bai Lan's face twisted. "Is this what you call interfering with you? I want to control you?"
"As your mother, don't I even have a say in your marriage?"
Qi Mo said without hesitation: "No!"
Bai Lan suppressed her anger and asked, "What's wrong with Shiyun?"
"She's beautiful, well-educated, noble and generous. Although her family isn't as good as ours, from all aspects I've seen, Shiyun is already the best. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Qi Mo raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Since you think she is good in every way and like her so much, you can marry her yourself. Anyway, I won't marry her."
Bai Lan was furious at his words and started beating Qi Mo without caring about anything. "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm your mother, how can you talk to me like that?"
"I've been so worried about you, and you treat me like this?"
Qi Mo grabbed her hand, preventing her from moving. "Don't say you're doing this for my own good. That only makes me sick. Wake up and stop deceiving yourself. Everything you do is for yourself."
"Also, I'll move out as soon as possible." After saying that, he gently pushed her away.
Bai Lan collapsed and sat on the ground, crying loudly, "Just go, just go."
"I know you're as heartless as your father. Both you and your father are bad people!"
Qi Mo looked at Bai Lan who was sitting on the ground, his tone still calm, "Father is indeed not a good person, but you are not that noble either."
"He ignored me, which certainly doesn't fulfill his responsibilities as a father, but you, your so-called motherly love, is just trying to control everything about me to achieve your own goals. It's so suffocating. I would rather you just ignore me like he does."
After saying that, he went upstairs without looking back.
After returning to his room and taking a shower, he turned on his phone and saw the screen full of call reminders. He had turned off his phone for two hours, and there were more than fifty call reminders, all from Bai Lan.
This shows how paranoid Bai Lan is.
He also suggested that his mother see a psychiatrist.
But Bai Lan started to make a fuss, saying that Qi Mo treated her like a lunatic.
Qi Mo didn't want to say anything more. Since she was willing to live like that, let her do as she pleased.
But he wants to live according to his own wishes.
He called his assistant and asked, "Find me a house as soon as possible."
"I want a place that can be moved in right away."
"Which area?"
"Let me think—"
Qi Mo's voice suddenly softened. "Let's find a house near Peking University."
Assistant Zhou suspected he had misheard, "Are you looking for a house near the company?"
Qi Mo had to emphasize again, "It's near Peking University, not the company!"
Assistant Zhou quickly said, "Okay, Boss, I'll do it as soon as possible."
But I was muttering in my heart that Peking University is not close to the company, and it takes at least an hour to get there. Since I am looking for a house, why should I look for one so far away?
······
It was already nine o'clock when Lin Xi got home.
The downside of a city being too big is that if you just go to a few places, you'll spend the whole day on the road.
As soon as I entered the yard, I heard Liu Dongsheng howling, "Not here, it's down there, it's itchy down there, hey hey, no, no, it's going up there again."
Liu Dongsheng was sitting shirtless in the yard, and Huang Juan was tickling him with a tickler.
After dinner, Liu Dongsheng started to feel itchy here and there.
From the scalp to the soles of the feet, all over the body, it itches here and there.
At first I thought it was a mosquito bite, but that was not the case. The itchy area was not fixed and there were no mosquito bites on my body.
Later I thought it was an allergy, but that wasn't right. My skin was fine everywhere, not red or swollen, it didn't look like an allergy.
Huang Juan tickled him for an hour or two and became really impatient.
She was patient and said while scratching herself: "We should go to the hospital. Scratching is useless."
It was indeed useless. Liu Dongsheng felt that the itch was not on the skin, but seemed to come from the flesh and bones.
Scratching it will only have a slight psychological effect.
He had originally thought the itching was no big deal, but now he couldn't stand it anymore and stood up. "Let's go to the hospital. If this continues, I won't be able to sleep all night."
As he spoke, he stood up and put on his clothes.
At this moment, Lin Xi walked across the yard without looking around, opened the door, went in, and then closed the door.
Liu Dongsheng was in no mood to care about her at the moment, and hurried out with Huang Juan.
After a while, Lin Xi heard someone knocking on the door. It was the fat boy who opened the door. He was holding a small notebook with a hint of fear in his eyes, but he spoke with confidence, "Lin Xi, sign a few names for me. I'm useful."
Lin Xi tilted her head to look at him, let out a "huh", and slammed the door shut again.
The little fat boy looked at the closed door, opened his mouth to curse, then walked away dejectedly.
Lin Xi was packing things at home.
She packed up all her clothes and belongings, planning to move into the house near Kyoto University the next day.
It's close to the school and convenient. More importantly, she won't have to see Liu Dongsheng's family anymore. If she sees him less, she can live a few more years.
After packing up, Lin Xi took a shower and went to bed.
I was woken up in the middle of the night by a series of rapid knocks on the door.
The sound sounded like the gate of the courtyard. She released her consciousness and saw Huang Juan standing at the door. "Open the door, Liu Caifang, open the door!"
"Damn girl, are you fast asleep? Open the door!"
After a long while, there was movement from the other side. Liu Caifang stood up and walked to the yard to open the door. Huang Juan slapped her in the face, "You stupid girl! I called so many times, and you are dead, you don't even know how to answer the phone!"
Liu Caifang covered her face and said nothing. Huang Juan rushed in and said, "Your father needs to be hospitalized. I'll pack some things for him and then I'll go over."
"I don't know when I'll be back tomorrow, so keep an eye on your brother and don't let him run around."
"Also, you cook for lunch tomorrow and bring it to me and your dad when it's ready."
Huang Juan was packing Liu Dongsheng's clothes in the room. Liu Caifang followed him in and hesitated for a moment, "But I have to take the high-speed train to Haicheng to go to school tomorrow..."
Huang Juan was stunned for a moment, and stopped what she was doing. Suddenly, she waved her hand and said, "Refund the ticket. I won't go for now."
"We still don't know what disease your father has. The doctors say they've never seen anything like it before. It might even be life-threatening. If you're gone, what will happen to Xiaopang? Who will take care of him?"
