Chapter 18 He is not a bad person
At this moment, Yu Chucheng really wanted to slap himself in the face to wake himself up.
He admitted that Duan Huaijin was the most handsome man he had ever seen, but he didn't look at the current situation. Was this the time to appreciate beauty?
"I have to go now. No need to see me off."
Yu Chucheng felt an inexplicable sense of shame in his heart. He said something random and quickly walked towards the door.
Dead legs, hurry up!
If he didn't leave now, someone would notice that his ears were red.
"You are so famous, it's shameful and useless! Why didn't I see you so shameless when you were a bootlicker?" A little man holding a trident poked Yu Chucheng's head hard.
As if afraid that Duan Huaijin would follow him, Yu Chucheng hurriedly closed the door. As soon as the door was closed, he rushed downstairs at the speed of an 800-meter sprint.
When I rushed to the second floor, I found that the door of Room 201 was ajar. The little girl was standing in the dark door. She showed one eye and whispered, "Brother..."
"Grass!!!"
Yu Chucheng shuddered like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He was frightened twice that night and almost sprained his ankle on the stairs.
He looked back at the little girl exhausted. Even though he knew the situation at the little girl's home, he was still a little scared in the middle of the night. "What, what happened?"
The little girl opened the door a little wider, reached out and stuffed a small orange into Yu Chucheng's arms, "Give it... give it to the people upstairs..."
Yu Chucheng understood that the little girl wanted him to pass the orange to Duan Huaijin.
"Brother is leaving, why don't you go and give it to him yourself during the day, how about that?" Yu Chucheng discussed with the little girl, he didn't want to go upstairs again.
The little girl hesitated for a moment, then looked up at him blankly, racking her brains and uttering a few words with difficulty, "Then, then I give it to you."
Yu Chucheng wanted to refuse. Based on his years of experience watching horror movies, he knew not to accept things that came from unknown sources. But when he met the little girl's sincere and expectant eyes, he swallowed the refusal that was on his lips.
He stared at the little girl's round head for a few seconds, and finally reached out his hand hesitantly and touched it quickly and roughly.
"Okay, but I have a condition. You have to close the door and don't come out tonight."
The sentence was a bit long, and the little girl thought about it for a long time before she understood it. She nodded slowly, and then obediently closed the door.
"call……"
Yu Chucheng breathed a sigh of relief, tossed the orange in his hand up and down, and looked at the house number 201 a few more times with mixed feelings.
The little girl looked so strange that even he was frightened at first. But Duan Huaijin knew this little girl so well, knew her family situation very well, and even carried a lollipop with him...
Yu Chucheng lowered his eyes to hide the complicated emotions in his eyes, thinking -
Duan Huaijin is actually a very gentle and patient person.
This completely refreshed his understanding of villains.
After Yu Chucheng left, Duan Huaijin's expression suddenly darkened.
Duan Haixiang in the room stuttered and looked at Duan Huaijin's expression nervously.
When Lin Mei came back and saw the mess on the floor, she also learned that Duan Huaijin had brought a stranger home today. She frowned in disgust and said, "Don't bring people of questionable character home in the future."
Duan Huaijin suppressed the coldness in his eyes and said, "He is not a bad person."
"What did you say?" Lin Mei looked at Duan Huaijin who was packing his things in surprise, feeling a little uneasy.
Although Duan Huaijin is not her biological child, he has always been very sensible and considerate. He would never talk back to her no matter what she said before. But recently she felt that Duan Huaijin had become a little different, as if he was gradually getting out of her control.
"Who is he?" Lin Mei asked vigilantly.
"friend."
"Friends? Just go out and meet your friends. There's no need to bring them home. We don't have anything good to entertain you at home." Lin Mei said stiffly.
After all these years, this was the first time she saw Duan Huaijin defending someone. But no matter who it was, she would not welcome it, as if she was worried that her secret would be discovered.
Duan Huaijin stroked the corner of the table - that was the place where Yu Chucheng had accidentally bumped into it before.
"What about you? Are you going out tonight to meet friends too?"
Lin Mei's eyelids jumped violently, and she lowered her voice and said hurriedly: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
She did go out to meet someone tonight, but not to meet friends, but to meet Zhang Hanzhou.
Duan Haixiang refused to sell the old house, so she could only find a way to find Zhang Hanzhou and ask her own son to give her more money.
But she didn't expect that although her own son became the eldest son of the Zhang family, the Zhang family kept a close eye on his spending. He was afraid that his father would find out, so he couldn't come up with hundreds of thousands of dollars at once.
Duan Huaijin raised his eyes nonchalantly, admiring Lin Mei's expression which changed rapidly in just two seconds.
It turns out that keeping others in the dark is such a wonderful feeling. He suddenly began to understand those people who deceived him in his previous life.
"Nothing. I'm just worried that those debt collectors will cause you trouble." Duan Huaijin explained without blushing.
Lin Mei breathed a sigh of relief calmly, and forced a motherly smile.
"No, don't worry about it."
Perhaps because she felt guilty, Lin Mei changed her previous cold attitude towards Duan Huaijin and turned her attention to Duan Haixiang.
"My son knows how to care about me, how about you? Duan Haixiang, I have tolerated you for long enough. You only know how to be a blood-sucking leech, sucking my blood and then sucking my son's blood! Do you still have any manliness?!"
Duan Haixiang didn't dare to say a word after being scolded, let alone mention the thing he almost let slip today.
Duan Huaijin bent down to pick up the documents on the ground and said slowly, "Mom, Dad may have some difficulties. Don't say that."
Duan Haixiang nodded repeatedly, "That's it——"
"He has no reason to be miserable! If he hadn't been holding us back, our family would have lived a good life a long time ago!" Lin Mei became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She pointed directly at the pile of messed-up clothes on Duan Huaijin's bed and said, "Whoever messed up the clothes should clean it up. It's useless enough to be out there. If you can't even fold your clothes properly, you're no different from trash!"
"Why should I, a grown man, fold clothes? Get out of the way!" Duan Haixiang has always been a male chauvinist. He immediately started jumping up and down when he heard this.
It seemed that the two were about to have another quarrel.
It really proves what Yu Chucheng said, "You're responsible for the consequences of your own actions."
Duan Huaijin stepped aside silently and let the two of them bring up old grudges with each other.
He opened his phone and found that the person he added at the last class reunion had finally accepted his friend request and had just sent him two messages.
Xin: [As long as I take you along, can you really tell me about my father's illegitimate child? ]
Xin: [I have investigated, your parents are just ordinary workers, do you have any evidence to make me believe you?]
Duan Huaijin: [No evidence]
Xin: [Then how do I know if you are lying to me? ]
Duan Huaijin: [It’s up to you. I just want to remind you that even if my information is wrong, it won’t be a big loss for you. If you don’t even dare to do this kind of business that is sure to make money, what right do you have to compete with three illegitimate children for the family property in the future?]
The other party did not reply for a long time, perhaps because he was shocked by the three illegitimate children, or perhaps he was considering whether what Duan Huaijin said made sense.
Duan Huaijin waited patiently, like a confident hunter who knew that the prey would definitely take the bait.
After a long time, the phone finally lit up again.
Xin: [Okay, I'll take you in. But if you're lying to me, I'll make you pay.]
