Chapter 53 Chapter 53 "I want to watch my little dad rot away." ...
Pei An knew that he had spoken too harshly, and was afraid that their friendship would be tarnished, so he promptly retracted his words and said, "I was just saying it casually, don't take it to heart."
Ye Xiuming looked at him steadily and flicked his forehead. "I'm glad you're not crazy. Otherwise, I'd take you to see a doctor."
"Ye Xiuming!"
Su Ting called him a second time.
Ye Xiuming then smelled the indescribable smell coming from the kitchen and patted Pei An's head: "Let's go, Dad will keep you for dinner."
Pei An: "Okay, I haven't tasted Su Xiaoba's cooking for a long time."
As soon as they came out, Su Ting's hand holding the dishes faltered.
Ye Xiuming's hair was messy, as if it had rolled around somewhere.
It looks quite disturbing.
"Xiu Ming," Su Ting said as if addressing a child, "Take Pei An to wash his hands."
Pei An found the sink before Ye Xiuming and said with a smile, "Uncle Su, what are we eating today?"
Su Ting ignored him, handed Ye Xiuming a towel, and whispered, "Am I being too indulgent with you guys?"
Ye Xiuming didn't understand the deeper meaning and said, "Next time you cook, I'll definitely help you."
Pei An walked to the dining table and looked at the various, randomly arranged stir-fries with a toothache expression. He tugged at Ye Xiuming and whispered in his ear, "Is this really edible?"
Ye Xiuming was confident: "Everything my little dad cooks is delicious."
The next moment, he was deeply slapped in the face by himself. Su Ting's cooking this time was not only not up to standard, but also far below the level of a normal child. Ye Xiuming was having trouble eating and could not continue to praise him.
Pei An seemed to be truly hungry, not caring about anything else and wolfing down his food. His solution to the problem was simple: just add tomatoes and eggs together, and the dish would be called scrambled eggs with tomatoes, not green pepper and egg soup...
Seeing how unchoosy he was, Su Ting said, "It seems like he's done a lot of physically demanding things."
Pei An: "Ah?"
Ye Xiuming smiled and handed Su Ting a piece of beef covered with cilantro. "Little Dad, this is the first time I've eaten your dark cuisine."
"I can be even darker. Do you want to try it?" Su Ting said with a disdainful look, as if he really had saved quite a few recipes from the dark cuisine world.
He changed the subject slightly: "By the way, Pei An, when is your next competition and in which country?"
"There are 24 games in the new season, and the next one is in Miami."
"With so many matches under your belt, don't you train?"
"Xiu Ming and I are together, just training." Pei An said, "By the way, Uncle Su, I want Xiu Ming to go to the next game with me, and then he will fly back to Chicago to apply for schools."
Su Ting looked displeased: "You seem to have planned everything for him."
Pei An: "Since Xiuming has a super driver's license, he can easily choose a good school in the United States. Of course, it's okay if he doesn't apply. Anyway, my team has already taken a fancy to Xiuming. Then we can train and compete together, which is perfect."
Su Ting didn't hesitate for a second: "No."
"What's wrong?"
“No.”
Pei An was about to argue when Ye Xiuming blocked his way with his hand. He said to Su Ting, "My father has the final say on whether I stay or go."
Pei An: "You don't want a future anymore?"
"The future doesn't belong to a jerk like me. Pei An, this isn't the first day you've known me."
Pei An clenched his fists. "Is your ideal to just sit around and wait for a bunch of trusts to rot?"
Ye Xiuming: "I want to watch over my little dad until he rots away."
Su Ting inadvertently raised the corner of his mouth and pretended to look at Pei An's expression casually.
It can be described as colorful.
Green turns to red, red turns to white, it looks very beautiful.
Pei An left before finishing his meal. He said that he was anxious to transport the car to Miami, but in fact Ye Xiu knew that everything was ready at the Miami station and they were just waiting for him to go there.
So anyone with a discerning eye could see what made him leave in such a hurry.
At the end of the meal, Zhou Xubai suddenly called. Su Ting walked to the window and pressed the answer button.
"One good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
Su Ting frowned: "If you don't finish speaking in one breath, I will fire you immediately."
"Okay," Zhou Xubai sighed, "Let me start with the bad news. Gu Jianqing's company registered in the UK has run out of funds and has filed for bankruptcy. The good news is that he doesn't seem to be planning to actually come to us for help. Instead, he's applied for a large loan from a domestic bank, preparing to make a comeback."
Su Ting: "Is the news authentic?"
"It's authentic, and it was told to me by an insider."
"This insider, could it be Wen Yanyu?"
"..." Zhou Xubai was stunned for a second, "It was indeed him. I used my connections in the UK to find out."
Su Ting: “…”
"Do you know what this means?"
Of course Su Ting knew.
It means that he owes Wen Yanyu another meal.
Zhou Xubai said, "This at least shows that Gu Jianqing isn't too wicked and isn't trying to take shortcuts. Also, I heard he's registered a large technology company in China, and it's clear he's quite ambitious."
Soutine: “No ‘but’?”
Zhou Xubai: "No, Gu Jianqing is an upright person in this matter."
Su Ting: “Yeah.”
"I still have reservations about other things. After all, only time can reveal a person's true character."
Zhou Xubai was about to hang up when he heard Su Ting say, "I think Xiuming is also gay."
There was a long gap there.
Finally, Zhou Xubai asked doubtfully, "Xiuming...our Ye Xiuming?"
Su Ting: "Yes."
Zhou Xubai: "Are you sure you're not gay just because you see someone as gay?"
If he wasn't gay, why would he hide in the room with Pei An and not come out? And... they had done this five years ago.
Pei An's obvious desire to influence Ye Xiuming's life undoubtedly exposed his true relationship with Ye Xiuming.
But what should he do?
He is just an adoptive father. After all, there is a layer of distance between you and him. He is not qualified to tell you many things that biological parents can know, such as you should stay away from those who try to lead you astray, and you should be vigilant at all times.
And these words...will it be credible if Su Ting says them?
"Zhou Xubai, I have a task for you. Don't you like Xiuming very much? Then I'll send you to be his friend and see what his relationship with Pei An is."
Zhou Xubai, the secretary of the board of directors of a listed company, actually stooped to this level. Wouldn't that make people laugh? So he said, "I have more important things to do, like keeping your Feihe running healthily. And that kid Pei An, they are just friends, it's not as complicated as you think."
"I'll give you a few days off. If that's not enough, I'll give you a little more. Anyway...please help me find out."
