Qi Guangyao was stunned on the spot, unable to react for a moment to what he had heard. When he finally reacted, the forced smile on his face almost broke.
Qi Shengzhi sneered:
"Why do you have to learn acting when you're so young? Are you really the son of a mouse who can dig holes?"
After he finished speaking, he strode past Qi Guangyao with his chin raised, seemingly not caring at all about Qi Guangyao's reaction to what he said.
When his back disappeared behind the door, Qi Guangyao realized that he had been fooled by Qi Shengzhi again, and he was so angry that his face turned green!
He wanted to rush in immediately, grab Qi Shengzhi by the collar, pin him to the ground and beat him up, but he couldn't do that because that would destroy his image as a good son in Qi Mingyuan's mind.
Ever since Qi Guangyao started reading, Qu Jingyun has been telling him every day to study hard, listen to his parents, and inherit the Qi family's huge business when he grows up. The Qi family's hopes are pinned on him.
Not only that, he always used Qi Shengzhi, who was four years older than him, as a negative example, and repeatedly warned him not to be like Qi Shengzhi, who was ignorant and unlearned since childhood and would become a social scum who only lived a life of idleness and waiting to die when he grew up.
Of course, Qu Jingyun said all these words behind his father's back.
Under Qu Jingyun's education, Qi Guangyao knew from a young age that Qi Shengzhi was not his biological brother, but the son of his father and another woman. He not only heard about the difference between them, but also saw it with his own eyes.
When he was a child, he envied Qi Shengzhi for having so many toys, because Qu Jingyun always bought Qi Shengzhi all kinds of fun and high-end toys from foreign trade malls, while he always received boring gifts such as books, celebrity biographies, and pens.
Qu Jingyun also warned him not to snatch toys from Qi Shengzhi.
Of course Qi Guangyao complained when he was a child, and once thought that Qu Jingyun liked Qi Shengzhi more and didn't like him.
But one time, he couldn't help but secretly took a small car toy that could slide on the ground from Qi Shengzhi's room. When he was having fun playing with it in the room, he was discovered by Qu Jingyun who suddenly came in.
I only heard her scream, and she immediately grabbed the car with a handkerchief and threw it out of the window. She then hurriedly took him to wash his hands, washing them with soap and soap countless times. Finally, she poured a bottle of white wine for him to soak his hands in, saying that it could disinfect and sterilize his hands.
Afterwards, Qu Jingyun said that termites were found in his room and asked someone to come and disinfect the entire house.
Only Qi Guangyao knew that there were no termites in his room at all.
From then on, he no longer envied the gifts Qi Shengzhi received, nor did he doubt that Qu Jingyun liked Qi Shengzhi more, even though he had already noticed something was wrong at the time.
When he was older, Qu Jingyun spoke more directly to him in private, and he could better understand that his mother treated him and Qi Shengzhi differently, and that she was actually doing it for his own good.
And over the years, he has also felt strongly indignant for his mother.
He had witnessed more than once that Qi Shengzhi would pour the milk his mother had given him into a flowerpot, deliberately drop fruit on the ground and throw it away, and even tear holes in his new clothes, making them unwearable...
Qi Shengzhi had done such evil deeds countless times since he was a child. Every time, his mother was so angry that she burst into tears in front of his father. But no matter how his father beat and scolded him, Qi Shengzhi's temper became worse and worse. It was as if he was deliberately against everyone. He neither respected his elders nor studied well. He wandered the streets like a devil all day long.
His father used a lot of connections and gave a lot of money to barely get the school to accept him until he graduated from high school. After graduation, Qi Shengzhi was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. He completely let himself go and rarely even returned to the Qi family.
Qi Guangyao felt that having a half-brother like him was the biggest shame in his life.
Originally, his life was extremely good. Whether it was his family environment or his academic performance, he was the envy of everyone. But there was this bad guy, Qi Shengzhi, who always caused trouble and made people point fingers at him behind his back.
It turned out that he was still a little angry when he was a teenager and had several conflicts with Qi Shengzhi in person, but his mother told him not to interfere in Qi Shengzhi's affairs, and said that the more bad Qi Shengzhi was, the better, so that his father would have to pin all the hopes of the Qi family on him and would pay more attention to him.
Now, as an adult, he already understands what Qu Jingyun meant by "importance".
He and Qi Shengzhi are natural competitors, especially since God has blessed him and given him such an inferior opponent like Qi Shengzhi, he cannot afford to lose!
Qi Guangyao composed himself, took a few deep breaths, moved the corners of his stiff mouth, forced a cheerful smile, and then stepped into the door.
Qu Jingyun, who had just not seen him come in, looked a little nervous, until she saw Qi Guangyao sitting at the table with a smile on his face as usual, she felt relieved.
"Guangyao, come sit next to your brother and give him more food."
After saying this, he looked at Qi Shengzhi, who didn't even raise his head, with concern, then turned to Qi Mingyuan and said:
"Look, Sheng Zhi lives outside alone. He must not have eaten well. He looks thinner."
Her words fully reveal a mother's love for her child.
Qi Shengzhi sneered when he heard this. It seemed that Qu Jingyun had not spent all these years in the art troupe in vain. His acting skills and lines had improved a lot. He was just the right person to deceive someone like Old Man Qi who was blind before he got old.
He just laughed and didn't try to avoid anyone. Everyone at the table could see his reaction clearly.
Qu Jingyun's face suddenly showed an embarrassed expression, Qi Guangyao's smile froze on his face, and Qi Mingyuan was directly angered by his disdainful attitude:
"What's with your attitude? Your Aunt Qu cares about you, is that wrong? You're such an ungrateful person!"
Qi Shengzhi had heard such harsh words from Qi Mingyuan before, and he had long been immune to them. Instead, he grinned provocatively and said:
"Aunt Qu cares about me, so of course I'm happy. Why? Shouldn't I smile when I'm happy?"
This sentence left Qi Mingyuan speechless.
Qi Shengzhi turned to Qu Jingyun and said with a smile:
"You said that I live alone outside and there's really no fixed time for meals, so how about... I move back in?"
Qu Jingyun didn't expect Qi Shengzhi to be so "obedient" and didn't know how to respond for a moment. Of course, she didn't want Qi Shengzhi to move back and wished he would die outside.
But when Qi Mingyuan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up:
"You should have moved back! Our house is so big, isn't it big enough for you? Not only you, but even if you and Feiying gave birth to four or five more grandchildren, there would be enough space for them!"
Qu Jingyun's face suddenly became more nervous, and the mother and son exchanged glances, fearing that Qi Shengzhi would really agree.
They had finally had a few years of peaceful days, and the three of them lived in harmony. They both didn't want Qi Shengzhi to come along and affect their mood, not to mention they had to worry about him competing for Qi Mingyuan's favor.
Qi Shengzhi glanced at the stiff expressions of Qu Jingyun and Qi Guangyao, and said with a forced smile:
"Aunt Qu, what do you think?"
