Qi Zhinian patted Qi Yun's head cheerfully: "Has Xiao Yun been obedient at home?"
"Yes! Xiaoyun is very obedient!"
Qi Zhinian nodded with satisfaction, and turned his gaze to Ling Jianghan.
When Ling Jianghan entered the room, he stood up from the sofa holding Chuyi in his arms, and now he was standing side by side with Qi Wuchen.
Qi Wuchen stared at Qi Zhinian for a while, but didn't call out to him. He just said calmly, "This is my friend, Ling Jianghan."
Ling Jianghan pressed the cat in his arms and said, "Hello, uncle."
Qi Zhinian stood straight with gentle features, looking like an approachable elder, but Jiang Han felt inexplicably uneasy about him.
"Hmm," Qi Zhinian replied, his gaze still fixed on him. This made Jiang Han, with little patience, hold the cat and wait for his next words. Finally, he saw Qi Zhinian nod and say in an ambiguous tone, "Not a bad name."
When he said this, he was staring at Chuyi who was nestled in Ling Jianghan's arms. When Ling Jianghan noticed his gaze, he calmly pinched the hair under Chuyi's belly a few times.
Qi Wuchen was about to open his mouth to explain, but suddenly he saw Qi Zhinian pointing at Chuyi and smiling at Ling Jianghan with great satisfaction, "This cat is well raised."
Just as Ling Jianghan was about to speak, Qi Zhinian waved towards Qi Wuchen with a smile on his face. His voice remained unchanged, but there was a hint of firmness that could not be refused: "Wuchen, come to my study."
Qi Wuchen put his hands in his pockets and followed Qi Zhinian calmly.
The moment the door slammed upstairs, Ling Jianghan took out his phone to call Cheng Yan, but unexpectedly, Qi Yun next to him suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve: "Brother Ling, can I borrow your phone? I want to call Mom."
Jiang Han hesitated for a moment, and finally handed over the phone.
In the study, Qi Zhinian sat at his desk. His expression was no longer as gentle as before, and his tone became very serious: "I remember you don't like these little animals."
Qi Wuchen sat down opposite him, his posture and tone revealing his rebelliousness: "It's none of your business."
"Qi Wuchen." Qi Zhinian emphasized his tone.
Qi Wuchen, as always, wasn't afraid of his anger. He picked up a folder and twirled it around in his hands. "I told you back in junior high school that unless Ms. Sheng Ruoxin comes back to life, none of you can control me."
Qi Zhinian slammed the table and stood up, pointing at Qi Wuchen and shouting, "I haven't taken care of you, but that doesn't mean I can't take care of you!"
Qi Wuchen put the folder in his hand on the table, raised his eyes and stared at him: "Then you try it."
The room was well soundproofed, so Qi Zhinian wasn't afraid of Ling Jianghan downstairs hearing what he was saying. He pointed outside the door and shouted, "His father is a complete bastard! What good will it do you to hang out with him?"
Qi Wuchen didn't respond, but simply asked calmly, "Do you know each other?"
Thinking of these past events, Qi Zhinian's anger subsided a lot, and his tone softened a bit. "His mother's name is Cheng Huan, and she was your mother's junior high school classmate. Back then, Ling Yiyan almost beat Cheng Huan to death on the street, and it was your mother and I who called an ambulance."
"And then?" Qi Wuchen looked at Qi Zhinian lazily and asked, "What does his father's behavior have to do with him?"
After two seconds of silence in the study, there was a sudden "pop" sound.
Qi Wuchen was caught off guard by the slap. He turned his face to the right and did not react for a long time.
"I only give you two choices," Qi Zhinian stared down at Qi Wuchen, "either you cut off all ties with him, or you transfer schools immediately!"
"Then I will go to handle the transfer procedures tomorrow, and you should never set foot in the Wen family again. Let's break up and part ways amicably!" After saying this, Qi Wuchen stood up and walked out.
"Stop right there!"
Qi Wuchen acted as if he didn't hear anything and left without looking back.
As soon as he went out, he saw Yun Min who had just come up. He greeted him politely but distantly and went downstairs to find Ling Jianghan.
Qi Wuchen didn't see anyone or a cat in the living room. After asking Qi Yun, he found out that Ling Jianghan was in their study.
Ling Jianghan was not the only one in the study. There was also Qi Chiyue who had just returned with Yun Min. When Qi Wuchen pushed the door open, she was squatting on the ground touching the cat's ears. Ling Jianghan was sitting at his desk writing a test paper.
Seeing him coming, Qi Chiyue picked up Chuyi and left: "You came at the right time. Jiang Han can't solve a problem. Can you teach him? I'm going to take Chuyi and Xiaoyun out to play."
Qi Wuchen glanced at Chuyi, who was obediently letting her hold him in her arms, and asked curiously, "How could it let you touch it?"
"At first, he was reluctant, but after Jiang Han gave him a few words of advice, he became obedient." Qi Chiyue explained as he carried the cat out. Before closing the door, he reminded him, "Remember to come down for dinner after you finish your homework."
After she left, Qi Wuchen walked to Ling Jianghan's side to look at the questions.
"Qi Wuchen," Ling Jianghan put down the pen in his hand when he approached him, and said in a light but firm tone: "Someone in your family doesn't like cats."
Qi Wuchen was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Before he could explain, he saw Ling Jiang Han lower his eyes and put away the papers on the desk.
Qi Wuchen sighed secretly, then helped him put the sorted papers and pens into his schoolbag one by one.
Jiang Han stopped what he was doing and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Let's go back," Qi Wuchen zipped up his schoolbag and said naturally, "I don't want to stay here anyway."
"Why are you joining in the fun?" Ling Jianghan took the schoolbag and was about to take out his things. "Aunt Yun and the others have waited so long for you to come back."
"There's no room for two tigers in one mountain," Qi Wuchen said as he picked up his schoolbag and prepared to leave. "I never live in the same room with my dad. I'll leave when he comes back."
"you……"
"Don't dawdle," Qi Wuchen picked up the pet backpack and said, "I'll go home and teach you how to do the exercises."
As soon as they went downstairs, they saw Yun Ren and Qi Zhinian sitting on the sofa, and Qi Chiyue and Qi Yun were playing with Chuyi with cat toys.
Upon seeing this, Yun Ren stood up from the sofa and asked in disbelief, "Wu Chen, are you leaving now?"
Qi Wuchen smiled at her and said, "I forgot to bring my homework, and Jiang Han also had something urgent to do and needed to go home."
Yun Ren was about to say something when she saw Ling Jianghan put the cat away and stood up. He smiled at her apologetically and said, "Thank you for your hard work today, Aunt Yun."
Qi Yun, who was standing behind Yun Ren, leaned forward and whispered, "Goodbye, Brother Ling."
Qi Zhinian stood up with the car keys on the coffee table and said, "I'll drive you."
"No need." Qi Wuchen refused without hesitation, the indifference and alienation in his eyes clearly visible: "No need to trouble you."
After they said goodbye to each other, Qi Wuchen said just before closing the door, "I won't be back on weekends from now on. It's too much trouble to go back and forth."
After the two left, Yun Ren gave Qi Chiyue a look, and Qi Chiyue took Qi Yun to the study.
Yun Ren sat back on the sofa and sighed deeply. When Qi Zhinian sat next to her, she called out, "Zhi Nian."
Qi Zhinian nodded, indicating that he was listening.
"I've advised you a long time ago not to interfere in Wu Chen's affairs. You can't control him." Yun Ren has a gentle personality and doesn't show much momentum when scolding people. His strength lies in the fact that every word he says is the truth that touches people's hearts.
"Yes, Wuchen has unusual feelings for that child, but what can be done? Ask yourself, how can you control him?"
Qi Wuchen will not lack money in the future because Sheng Ruoxin had saved enough for him and Qi Chiyue before she died; Qi Wuchen will not lack money now because his grandmother Wen Shuyu gives him enough money every month.
In short, since Sheng Ruoxin's death, Qi Wuchen and Qi Chiyue have not used a single cent of Qi Zhinian's money.
Wen Shuyu has been collecting money from this family for as many years as they have lived in this house. It can be said that they are clearly separated from the Qi family and owe nothing to each other.
Even the previous rent was transferred to Yun Min by Qi Wuchen without a penny less.
Yun Ren sighed again when he thought of this: "He has enough money to spend, a home to return to, and people to love him. What can you do to control him?"
After Sheng Ruoxin's death, Wen Shuyu no longer considered Qi Zhinian her son-in-law, but only treated the children left by her beloved daughter as the apple of her eye. She not only prepared money for Qi Chiyue's wedding, but also for Qi Wuchen's marriage.
The money is enough, and if he runs away from home, he has a place to go. If he doesn't go home, Wen Shuyu will still love him. What can Qi Zhinian do to help him?
Yun Ren's voice was still gentle, but his words were heartbreaking: "Every year when you go to the Wen family to see Ruoxin, you have to wait for Aunt Wen's approval. Aunt Wen likes Wuchen so much. If you push her too far, will you still be able to enter the Wen family?"
Qi Zhinian was silent for a moment, and finally said, "...I'll call him and apologize in a few days."
"That's more like it," Wen Shuyu paused for a moment, then suddenly said "eh" and asked, "You didn't do it?"
Qi Zhinian: “…”
In the study upstairs, Qi Chiyue was watching Qi Yun write, and not long after, he received a message from Qi Wuchen.
75c: [What did you say to Ling Jianghan in the study just now?]
Chiyue: [I said it.]
The other side replied immediately: [What did you say? ]
Qi Chiyue thought for a moment, then typed: [I asked him how old Chuyi was, how long he had raised him, and whether he was easy to raise.]
【Gone?】
Qi Chiyue was puzzled: [Then why should I ask? Should I ask him if he likes you?]
Qi Wuchen was silent for a moment before replying: [No need.]
【唉，咱妈要是知道你是这么个恋爱脑，怕是会气活过来揍死你。 】
After she said this, there was no movement from the other end.
Qi Chiyue knew that the person had read the message but not replied, so he didn't plan to say anything more.
Just as I was about to turn off my phone, a message suddenly popped up at the top of the screen.
L: [You ask.]
Qi Chiyue clicked on it and quickly typed a reply: [Did you two know each other before?]
A minute later, the other side replied: [No.]
Then he sent another sentence: [Why do you ask? ]
Chiyue: [It’s okay, I’m just asking.]
L: [I also have a question for you.]
Qi Chiyue replied readily: [You ask.]
Is there anyone in your family who doesn't like cats?
Qi Chiyue thought for a moment and replied cautiously: [Didn't Wuchen tell you?]
He said you all like it.
What a good word game, Qi Chiyue sighed silently in his heart.
She smiled and eventually joined in the game: [He wasn't lying to you, we both really liked it. I even had one before, but later gave it away.]
