Chapter 2 Chapter 2 He and love are not compatible, and the five elements are in conflict. ...
As soon as he finished speaking, the boy who claimed to be Ye Xiuming suddenly turned around and sprinted towards Hanoi. Zhou Xubai and Su Ting reached out at the same time. Su Ting was luckier, barely grabbing the fabric of Ye Xiuming's down jacket. He then dragged him back, bent down, and said, "Once dead, you're dead. There's no afterlife. That's all nonsense."
Zhou Xubai also chimed in: "Yeah, do you want to be a little devil, little devil?"
"My name is Ye Xiuming! I'm not some little brat!"
This name didn't seem like something he'd picked randomly, nor did it seem like it came from a family so desperate that they had to give up their beloved son. Zhou Xubai quickly came to his senses and asked him, "Are you really not lying? Were you really abandoned by your parents?"
"yes."
"Why don't they want you?"
Ye Xiuming's pupils moved slightly, his body trembled, and he whispered, "I don't know, I don't know anything."
Su Ting used his eyes to stop Zhou Xubai and told him not to ask any more questions. He then took Ye Xiuming's hand and led him to the car. "There's heating here. Warm yourself up first and don't run around."
After closing the car door, Su Ting and Zhou Xubai walked to a slightly further away, and at the same time, they slightly turned sideways and looked back thoughtfully in the direction of the car.
"What should we do?" Zhou Xubai asked.
Su Ting suddenly felt a little troubled.
He'd never dealt with anything like this before.
Just when Su Ting was at a loss, a phone call came quietly and kept vibrating in his coat pocket.
He took out his cell phone with a little impatience, and the name "Wen Yanyu" on the incoming call page was like a knife stabbing him, making him feel uneasy.
A year ago, he met Master Wen at an investment conference. At the time, Su Ting, the president of the up-and-coming company Feihe Real Estate, was invited to give a senior management speech at a sub-forum to promote a cultural tourism project he was collaborating on with the government. He had no idea he'd become Wen Yanyu's target.
Wen Yanyu's offensive was so strong that no matter where Su Ting went on a business trip, he would receive a bouquet of roses at the front desk of the hotel where he stayed, accompanied by a card from Wen Yanyu that revealed his determination to win.
This year, Su Ting never stopped traveling all over the world on business, and Wen Yanyu never stopped pursuing him.
Of course, calls like today's never stopped coming, and Wen Yanyu always couldn't help but ask about their well-being, as if they were close friends.
"Hello, Su Ting, can you promise me now?" The ending tone of the voice on the other end of the phone was drawn out, as if trying to delay the outcome of Su Ting's trial of himself.
"What did I promise you?"
Su Ting pretended to be ignorant even though he knew the truth.
"If you agree to be my boyfriend, I'll ask Dad to grant you the most valuable piece of land in the east."
Su Ting had to admit that Wen Yanyu's proposal was quite attractive. He had started from scratch and worked himself to death to become a "newcomer in the industry." The past five years of entrepreneurship had taken a toll on him. The word "free" was indeed rare in the business world.
"I--" Su Ting didn't want to reject his kindness, but just didn't want to offend his father.
At this moment, the sound of a car door closing muffledly was heard, and Ye Xiuming said, "I'm so hungry!"
Ye Xiuming was probably really hungry. This clear and loud sound must have been picked up by the phone, so there was a brief pause.
Wen Yanyu's voice trembled: "You have a child? You are not gay...?"
Before Su Ting could explain the truth, Wen Yanyu said politely and restrainedly: "I'm sorry, it turns out that you are different from what I imagined. Just think of it as my wishful thinking before."
Su Ting's eyes lit up brightly, and he suddenly realized that Ye Xiuming in the car might be the most effective weapon to isolate himself from these harassments. Yes, he had no intention of getting involved in the worldly affairs, and having a child could eliminate the troubles forever, at least for homosexuals.
He has always hidden himself well and does not allow himself to show any emotions that are not normal for a human being. Wen Yanyu and the men and women chasing after him have been bothering him for a long time.
So Su Ting replied: "He is indeed my illegitimate child. I should have told you earlier."
Wen Yanyu chuckled: "You have no obligation to tell me. Okay, excuse me for disturbing you, my President Su."
Su Ting licked his lower lip with the tip of his tongue inconspicuously, hung up the phone, walked lightly through the dirty mud, opened the door and got into the car. Zhou Xubai followed behind him and then returned to the car.
"Su Ting, where are we going?"
"Go to the police station," Su Ting said.
Ye Xiuming immediately wanted to open the car door: "I don't want it!"
Su Ting pressed his wrist from the side and said, "I can't adopt you home privately. This is not legal. I can only take you home legitimately after the police have searched for your parents and confirmed your orphan status."
Ye Xiuming didn't understand what he was saying. He thought it was just an excuse from an adult and his real purpose must be to get rid of him!
Su Ting softened his tone and said, "I promise you, it won't be too long, at most one month. When the time comes, I will definitely go to the institution where you are and take you home."
He laughed: "Besides, aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy?"
Ye Xiuming looked at him carefully and thought he was really good-looking. Good-looking people couldn't be bad people, so he shook his head earnestly, like a little rattle.
"Even if you were, there's nothing I can do."
Zhou Xubai tilted his head slightly and said, "Your little father is not really a bad person. If you really want to be considered a bad person, you should call him an uncivilized fool."
Ye Xiuming was only eleven years old. He had no condition to understand, so he said in a childish voice, "He is my little dad, so are you the big dad?"
Zhou Xubai almost choked to death on his own saliva.
"Boy, do you know what this means?" Zhou Xubai said.
Ye Xiuming's childish words almost scared the other two. "I've seen people like you before. It's okay. Don't be embarrassed."
Zhou Xubai secretly observed Su Ting, whose face had turned pale, through the rearview mirror. He pressed his lips into a straight line and said with a half-smile, "Ye Xiuming, it's nothing. Don't worry."
The tone didn't seem to reassure Ye Xiuming, but rather to let Su Ting feel at ease.
After all, as his assistant, Zhou Xubai had long been desensitized to the various handsome men and beautiful women attacking Su Ting, but he knew that Su Ting had not. Anything involving emotional advances and retreats was enough to make Su Ting panic.
His horoscope is incompatible with love, and the five elements are in conflict.
Zhou Xubai was an eyewitness to the Gu Jianqing incident and understood why Su Ting had been so cold and aloof over the years.
The harm that Gu Jianqing inflicted on Su Ting had a disastrous long-tail effect, and anyone who heard about it would sigh.
I still remember Su Ting's miserable state when he sat by the river after a breakup. The pain was unnoticeable, yet boundless. At that time, Su Ting laughed miserably and said to Zhou Xubai, "In the next few years, remember to remind me not to come to this river again."
Now that the river has brought a adopted son, is it a joy or a sorrow?
"We're at the police station."
