Chapter 167: General Yi's Regret, Ling Xuan Joins (Update 1)
However, the atmosphere in the other ward across the wall was completely opposite.
Yi Hansheng was lying on his back with his left hand bandaged and hanging around his neck. In front of him was a bed frame with a projection screen stretched over it, playing a popular movie of the season.
In order to fully reproduce the cinema effect, the man wore a pair of 3D glasses on his nose.
Popcorn and Happy Fat House Water are placed within easy reach.
Yi Ci, the filial son who came to keep his father company, simply curled up on the bed. The father and son sat side by side, occasionally tilting their heads to discuss the plot. There were a few grains of popcorn on the floor.
If you don’t know, you might think they are here for vacation rather than hospitalization.
"...You little bastard, go get your dad a glass of water."
"No, this is quite exciting!" Yi Ci said without blinking.
"What's more important, the movie or your dad?"
"For now, it's movies."
Yi Hansheng: "..."
In the end, Yi Ci poured a glass of boiled water for his father. The world is big, but the patient is the most important, so he endured it.
"I don't want it." Yi Hansheng turned his head away with a look of disgust.
Yi Ci: “?” He’s still dragging it on?
Yi Hansheng: "Change it to Coke."
"The doctor said this is the only drink you deserve."
"...Son, please don't do this...I..."
"Drink it or not, it's useless to say anything. Don't even try to act like a spoiled child. It's giving me goosebumps."
Yi Hansheng looked embarrassed and made the next best option: "Then put a straw in it."
“…Oh.” That’s a lot of requests.
By the time Yi Hansheng finally drank the water with his mouth made an "O" shape and sipped through a straw, the movie was over.
Yi Ci: “?” I suspect you are playing a trick on me, and I have evidence.
Yi Hansheng: "My dear son, please help me take off my glasses. I can't free my hands."
Yi Ci: “!” I tell you, if you keep showing off like this, you’ll get into big trouble sooner or later!
"Hurry up, why are you standing there?"
"...Oh. Let's rewind the movie. I haven't seen the last fifteen minutes yet."
Yi Hansheng: "I saw it."
Yi Ci: “?”
"Change to the next one."
"Dad, you're almost done. If you make me angry and run away, there will be no one to take care of you."
Yi Hansheng lost his wife early in life and never remarried. He raised his son alone. Compared to the happy family of three next door, he lived like a bachelor.
Oh, not like, it is what it is.
"You little bastard, are you rebelling?"
Yi Ci rolled his eyes and stopped helping him hold the water cup. He put it on the bedside table and sat down on the sofa opposite.
The old one is the uncle, and this is the young uncle.
"Dad, you haven't given me an explanation since the accident, right?" He said with a half-smile.
You have used this honorific.
Yi Hansheng's scalp tingled, and he began to laugh: "What explanation? Who do I need to explain to? This matter cannot be explained!"
“…” I almost believed your lies.
Yi Ci: "Come on, why did you start fighting when things were going well? Although our family and the Ling family have been enemies before and disliked each other, this is the first time we've fought."
Yi Hansheng glared, his eyes blazing with anger: "It was that old bastard Ling Qingzhou who started it first!"
"They beat you up for no reason?"
“…”
"No reason?"
Yi Hansheng curled his lips: "What do you mean he beat me? Later it was clearly me who beat him up so hard that he screamed and saw stars."
Yi Ci's tone was cold: "Then why did your hand break?"
Yi Hansheng: “?” What a worthless son, he only knows how to sabotage things.
"Old Yi, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're in your forties and you're still imitating us young people's impulsive behavior. Now the whole company knows that you had a fight with Ling Xuan's father and were even hospitalized. Do you still want to maintain your reputation as a CEO?"
"The whole company has to know?!"
Yi Ci squinted his eyes and said, "What else?"
"……Grass!"
"Dad, why do you have to compete with Uncle Ling for the building?"
Yes, Yi Ci saw that his father’s greatest pleasure was not building buildings, but competing with Ling Qingzhou.
Over the years, the two have tried their best to make trouble for each other.
But it’s not necessarily the case that there is any deep hatred.
Yi Ci never asked about these things before. He thought, let his father build it if he wants. After all, it is the money that Old Yi earns himself, so he can spend it however he wants. He has no objection even if he spends it.
But this time, not only did it burn money, it also hurt his bones. Yi Ci couldn't help but be curious and asked directly -
"What are you two up to?"
The man was unusually silent. He no longer smiled and tried to get away with it, but fell into an inexplicable state of deepness and solemnity.
Seeing this, Yi Ci swallowed and sat up straight subconsciously.
The silence continued to ferment. After an unknown amount of time, Yi Hansheng finally spoke softly.
"If it weren't for him, our lives wouldn't be what they are now."
Yi Ci looked puzzled: "Isn't it good now?"
Their family and the Ling family are the biggest taxpayers in the local area, the legendary "wealthy families".
Yi Hansheng smiled: "It will only be better than now."
That’s right, by being with that person, both he and Ling Qingzhou would be a hundred times better off than they are now.
He never doubted this.
Ling Qingzhou must have been extremely regretful, but unfortunately, it was of no use.
Yi Ci: "So, did Uncle Ling do anything?"
Yi Hansheng's face suddenly darkened, and he snorted coldly: "That despicable villain only knows how to use shady tricks behind the scenes. If I had been able to stay in the imperial capital..."
Staying by Lou Mingyue's side, "Then you're a true young master of the imperial capital. Isn't it better than staying in this corner of Linhuai?"
Yi Ci: “?” Imperial capital?
It turns out that his biological father really is from a big city?
"Uh... don't tell me you're the exiled heir of a wealthy family in the imperial capital, returning with your son twenty years later to reclaim power. From then on, you reached the pinnacle of your life, with a beautiful wife and concubines..."
Bang!
Before he could finish, an apple flew onto his forehead.
Yi Ci's eyes were blank.
Yi Hansheng: "Have you read too many novels? And the heir to a wealthy family..."
It’s no wonder Yi Ci thinks this way. He has never had grandparents since he was a child. That would be fine, but he doesn’t even have any relatives at home.
They were called a "wealthy family", but there were only him and Yi Hansheng in the family.
"What else?"
Yi Hansheng's eyes were filled with anxiety, as if he were lost in some distant memory: "There is no such thing as an heir. We were all orphans back then..."
Ling Xuan took two days off and stayed with Ling Qingzhou in the hospital for one day. He flew back to the capital the next afternoon and first went to Yan Zhenfeng to cancel his leave.
office.
"Is there anything wrong at home?"
Ling Xuan: "Everything has been handled."
"Yes." Yan Zhenfeng nodded. "You're not here for the next two days, so we've split into groups. You should stay in my group for now..."
"Professor Yan," Ling Xuan suddenly interrupted him, "I want to join Teacher Sun's group."
Sun Qun, who heard his own name not far away, sat up straight in an instant, just like a radar detecting a flying object.
Hmm? Another student with a keen eye for talent?
Yan Zhenfeng raised his eyebrows and said half-jokingly, "Why, you look down on my group?"
"No, I want to be with Jiang Fuyue." He was so blunt that it left people speechless.
Yan Zhenfeng refused to give in: "After the first group assignment, many people wanted to be in the same group with her."
Having Jiang Fuyue is equivalent to having a unique weapon that can easily win you a victory.
Such a delicious treat, everyone wants to take a bite.
He has already rejected many students, so why should he make an exception for Ling Xuan?
He had announced in front of the whole class that the groupings were set and could not be changed. By doing this, wasn't Ling Xuan contradicting himself?
"First of all, Jiang Fuyue and I are from the same place. If I were present when the groups were drawn, I would definitely choose the same group with her without hesitation."
"Secondly, my situation shouldn't be considered a 'reelection' in the strictest sense. After all, I never voted in the first place. If I didn't vote, how can I change it?"
"Finally..." Ling Xuan took out the five test papers handed out for the group assignment.
Yan Zhenfeng took it doubtfully and looked down at it——
Wow! I finished all five sets of questions.
He took out the reference answers and corrected them accordingly.
Ten minutes later.
There were five test papers, four of which were full marks, and one was deducted one point because a unit symbol was missed in the process.
Ling Xuan: "It took me four hours to finish these five sets of questions, an average of completing 2.5 sets every two hours, half a set faster than Lin Shumo, and my accuracy rate is 99%."
He spoke each word with great emphasis: "I think I have the ability to be assigned to Teacher Sun's group. What do you think?"
Yan Zhenfeng had nothing to say.
Sun Qun was grinning on the side. What a lucky bastard he was. This time, all the good seedlings in the summer camp were in his hands!
The next day, Yan Zhenfeng announced the results of Ling Xuan's group selection, and naturally there were many sour voices.
Including Ren Xinghe, who was assigned to the coaching group.
They are all from Linhuai, so why can he just follow Jiang Fuyue and win all the way?
But when Yan Zhenfeng laid out Ling Xuan's five test papers, all doubts disappeared.
In the morning, Ling Xuan walked into the classroom, and when he looked up, he saw Jiang Fuyue and Lin Shumo sitting together in the corner, becoming deskmates.
Tsk!
His eyes darkened.
The first update will be 3,000 words, and the second update is tentatively scheduled for 4 p.m. Please pay attention to the comments section for the specific time~
