Chapter 36
After hearing what Qin Shiyao and Ling Yun said, the woman wearing limited edition high heels became unhappy.
She immediately stood up and said, "How can you be so superficial? Can love be measured by money?"
Qin Shiyao's sarcasm was at its peak, "Oh, so your hobby is poor men."
Ling Yun also cast a disdainful look at me, "I'm wearing all these logos. What kind of taste do I have? How dare you call me superficial!"
Fu Yunyun followed the two sisters closely and said sarcastically, "Since you have a fetish for poverty, why are you talking to this rich guy? Go find someone poor."
The woman's face was slightly distorted, and she almost couldn't maintain the illusion of being virtuous and kind. "I only love Ah Cheng, no matter if he has money or not."
As she spoke, she glanced towards the cleaner, hinting, "Unlike some people, who only care about money and not people."
Qin Shiyao raised her eyebrows, "What's wrong with paying for money? You have a good figure but no character, you have character but no ability, you have ability but no male ethics, and you still don't let people pay for money?"
The woman choked and stiffened her neck in dissatisfaction, "You don't know the whole truth of the matter, what right do you have to say that?"
Ling Yun rolled her eyes, "Just because that guy approached you, I knew he didn't have a very good sense of aesthetics."
The woman snorted, "No matter what, I'm not like some people who despise the poor and love the rich!"
Fu Yunyun suddenly realized, "So you knew that this sister was working as a cleaner here, and you came here to scam me on purpose."
Zhu Zilin was so embarrassed and angry when his intention was exposed, "What do you mean by swindling? I came here..."
Qin Shiyao interrupted her, "What are you doing here? You're not going to stage a small-time counterattack and show off in front of your ex, are you? Some upstarts who are flying on the cusp of the trend love to do things like this."
"What do you mean by a small-time counterattack or a nouveau riche?" Zhu Zilin said with pride, "Brother Cheng's family is already rich, he just pretends to be an ordinary person."
Qin Shiyao's contempt deepened. "I thought he at least had some ability and found a good opportunity to start from scratch, but in the end he still has to rely on his father. He's worse than a nouveau riche."
Ling Yun said pretentiously: "So you can pretend to be an ordinary person? Why can't I? I will be recognized as a young lady wherever I go."
Fu Yunyun was genuinely confused, "Why are you pretending to be an ordinary person? Are you mentally ill?"
Zhu Zilin took a deep breath and told himself that there was no point in getting angry with these bumpkins.
Adjusting her attitude, she said in a noble and cold manner, "That's because Cheng's family is too rich and he doesn't want to be associated with a gold-digger. You see, isn't this a test of some women's character?"
After hearing these words, some women gripped their cleaning tools even tighter.
After she knew Gu Cheng's true identity, she couldn't understand why he kept it a secret. It turned out that he didn't trust her.
Qin Shiyao began to sort out the matter, "In other words, he is afraid of the women who get close to him. They are attracted to him because of money, so he has to hide his true identity."
Zhu Zilin said proudly, "Yes."
Qin Shiyao: "Then I understand, he must be not good in bed."
Zhu Zilin: “?”
Shen Tingzhou quickly covered Fu Yunyun's ears.
Fu Yunyun desperately pulled Shen Tingzhou's hand away, looking at Qin Shiyao with eager eyes.
Why do you have such speculation? Tell us quickly!
I don't know when Xu Xun appeared behind me, "Why does she care so much about other people's affairs?"
This "she" should be referring to Qin Shiyao. Shen Tingzhou showed a helpless smile.
Fu Yunyun dubbed in her heart: Unlike me, I only care about giegei.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhu Zilin retorted to Qin Shiyao angrily, but his eyes glanced at the tall and handsome Gu Cheng standing beside him.
Gu Cheng's eyes were fixed on Tang Qi opposite him, his gaze was heavy, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Seeing that he was still thinking about that woman and only had her in his eyes, Zhu Zilin felt disappointed.
Qin Shiyao had a reason, "Isn't it? A man wouldn't be so self-deprecating unless he was not good in bed."
Her words drew Zhu Zilin's attention back, and she frowned, "When did Cheng-ge become inferior?"
Ling Yun's train of thought matched Qin Shiyao's.
"Either he's not good in bed, or he has no ability to make money, and can only rely on the useless second generation at home. Men who are ambitious and love their wives are all like this - since my wife likes money, I will work hard to make money."
Fu Yunyun: "That's right, he wants his beloved woman to suffer with him. Think about it, think carefully, what kind of man would do such a thing?"
After hearing what they said, Zhu Zilin actually felt that this test method was a bit...
No, how could she listen to their provocation?
Zhu Zilin retorted: "That's because the Gu family is wealthy and powerful!"
Tang Qi, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up, "No matter how wealthy I am, I have never spent a penny of his money. On the contrary, your brother Cheng spent all his food, clothing, housing and transportation on my money."
Qin Shiyao sighed, "Then this is a sponsor. If it's a sponsor, doesn't it all depend on the sponsor's mood when he wants to dump you?"
Ling Yun pinched her finger joints and said, "I hate men who just eat for free."
Gu Cheng stared at Tang Qi and said in a low voice, "If you had broken up two days later, you could have gotten two million. It's a pity that you didn't keep pretending."
When he was in love with Tang Qi, Gu Cheng pretended to be a painter.
At that time, the Tang family had not yet fallen on hard times, and Tang Qing spent a lot of money to support this unknown but really good-looking young painter.
According to Gu Cheng's original script, a wealthy businessman would take a fancy to his talent and spend more than two million to buy his two paintings. Tang Qi, as the boss, broker, accountant and lover, would be able to get this money.
Gu Cheng was Tang Qing's first investment project since she became an adult, and Gu Cheng wanted to prevent her from suffering too much loss.
But the reality is that it is a complete mess.
Ling Yun, the daughter of a wealthy family, didn't quite understand. "It's only two million. Why are you asking people to pretend? Not to mention that the two million hasn't been given yet. According to your logic, if you want to continue to play dumb, I can give you two million billion. It's a pity that you spoke."
Fu Yunyun: "That's right, who doesn't know how to draw a big cake?"
Zhu Zilin was distracted for a moment, and then took the initiative to attack, "Then she cheated on me?"
Tang Qi was no longer nervous as he had been at first, and he looked straight at Zhu Zilin without avoiding or dodging.
"I don't know who told you that. I broke up first and then got engaged. As for Mr. Gu's two million, it has nothing to do with me and I don't want it."
"Yes." Gu Cheng smiled grimly, "You were attracted by the Lu family's 10 billion, so why didn't you get married in the end and ended up like this?"
Shen Tingzhou vaguely heard the sound of Qin Shiyao rubbing her high heels.
When I looked up, I saw that her face was gloomy as expected. It was obvious that she couldn't stand hearing a man say such dirty and sarcastic words.
Tang Qi, who was wearing a cleaning suit, said indifferently: "Don't worry about it."
"Mom." A little boy of three or four years old ran over and threw himself into Tang Qi's arms.
Tang Qi and Gu Cheng's expressions changed color at the same time.
Tang Qing quickly covered half of the child's face and said nervously, "Didn't I tell you to wait in the cleaning room? Why did you come out?"
The little boy said aggrievedly, "You haven't come back yet, I'm worried that something might happen to you."
Gu Cheng said sarcastically: "It seems that I am the one who is worrying. It turns out that she is married to someone else. Could the father of the child also be a cleaner, or a security guard at the mall?"
This statement is full of sarcasm.
The male cleaner and male security guard who passed by cursed in their hearts at the same time: Damn it, I'm eating your rice!
Tang Qi was obviously angry too. He covered the child's ears and said, "What does this have to do with you?"
Gu Cheng looked like he was giving sincere advice, "I just want to say, if you don't have the financial means, don't have children. You'll suffer if you have children, so why bother?"
Although his ears were covered, the little boy still heard it. He turned his head to look at the person who was speaking, but Tang Qi didn't let him.
The little boy was a little unhappy, "Mom, this uncle is really weird, why is he persuading people to stuff the baby back into the womb?"
Gu Cheng sneered, "Isn't it? If your mother hadn't given birth to you, would she have become like this? She's old, her waist is thick, and she still does this kind of work. Ask her if she has ever touched a rag before?"
Shen Tingzhou couldn't bear it anymore and was about to speak, but Fu Yunyun quickly covered his mouth.
Let him talk and see what expression he has for a while.
The little boy had his back to Gu Cheng, so Gu Cheng couldn't see how much he looked like him. But since he wanted to do such a shameless thing and speak to his own son like that, then let him do it!
Seeing that Xu Xun was still looking at her, Fu Yunyun's eyes moved, and she quickly grabbed his hand and put it on her cousin's mouth.
Okay, okay, you cover it, you cover it.
Fu Yunyun looked like she was helpless.
Xu Xun did his job well and actually covered Shen Tingzhou's mouth without letting go, protecting Fu Yunyun from the scumbag's show and preventing Shen Tingzhou from making any sound.
Shen Tingzhou looked at Xu Xun helplessly: Xiao Xu, why did you betray me?
Xu Xun looked at Shen Tingzhou uprightly.
Shen Tingzhou: Okay, I won't say anything anymore, just let go.
Xu Xun still covered his mouth and stared at him.
Realizing that Xu Xun had not received his signal, Shen Tingzhou: ...
Gu Cheng's words angered Tang Qi. She gritted her teeth and said, "Gu Cheng!"
Seeing Tang Qi defending the child she had with another man, Gu Cheng's face turned unhappy.
The little boy started to cry. "Mom, is what he said true? Is it because of me that I have grown old?"
Gu Cheng replied, "What else?"
Shen Tingzhou, with his mouth covered: There's no hope, just go to the crematorium.
Qin Shiyao and Fu Yunyun were both waiting to see the big reveal, wanting to see Gu Cheng's expression when he found out the truth.
Ling Yun was not such a bad person. She felt a headache when she heard this man talking. She tried to speak several times but was physically stopped by Qin Shiyao.
The little boy cried out, struggled to break free from Tang Qi, and faced Gu Cheng face to face.
"You're lying. My mother said I was the cutest child in the world and that giving birth to me was the happiest thing for her."
When he saw the little boy's appearance, Gu Cheng's pupils were trembled.
Zhu Zilin also widened his eyes and murmured, "Brother Cheng, why did he tell you..."
Thinking of a possibility, Zhu Zilin covered his mouth in disbelief.
Things that had been hidden for many years were suddenly revealed to Gu Cheng, and Tang Qi was exhausted.
Gu Cheng traced every inch of the boy's facial skin. After making sure everything was correct, he turned his gaze to Tang Qi and asked tremblingly, "What on earth is going on?"
Tang Qi was calm and said, "This is my son. It has nothing to do with anyone else."
Gu Cheng was very excited. "What do you mean it doesn't matter? This is mine too..."
Thinking of what he had just said to the little boy, Gu Cheng's expression was like a bucket of paint had been overturned, with regret, self-blame, and guilt mixed together.
Qin Shiyao: Thank you, I finally feel better.
Fu Yunyun: Thank you. I finally feel better.
Shen Tingzhou: Thank you, you can let me go now.
Shen Tingzhou patted Xu Xun's hand, signaling him to let go, and that he could now open his mouth.
Xu Xun slowly pulled his hand back, then clenched his palm and let it drop to the side of his body. His palm still retained the light heat of Shen Tingzhou and the soft touch.
Only Ling Yun was puzzled. Aren’t they going to fight yet?
If it were her, she would have started slapping him by now.
Gu Cheng swallowed the fact that he was the child's father with embarrassment, but said unwillingly, "I have the right to know."
Qin Shiyao provoked, "When some people blame children, they no longer have the right."
Fu Yunyun followed up with a provocation: "You also said that her mother is old and has a thick waist. I am a child and I will definitely not forgive you."
Gu Cheng finally realized how harsh the two voices were and glared at them, "This is our family affair!"
Qin Shiyao: "Tsk tsk, these days, you can't even speak in public?"
Fu Yunyun: "Why are you so overbearing? Maybe you have a bad temper, that's why you lost it again and again."
Gu Cheng's veins popped.
At this time, the little boy spoke up and asked curiously, "What is umm?"
Afraid that Fu Yunyun might say something shocking and corrupt the child, Shen Tingzhou quickly took out a candy to attract his attention.
The little boy took the candy and said, "Thank you, uncle."
Shen Tingzhou rubbed the boy's head, and the little boy immediately threw himself shyly into Tang Xi's arms.
Shen Tingzhou smiled, and at this moment a hand stretched out in front of him, and Shen Tingzhou looked along the hand.
Xu Xun said with a paralyzed face, "You won't give me a piece?"
Shen Tingzhou took a few seconds to react and took out a candy. "This one?"
Xu Xun: “Yeah.”
Qin Shiyao and Fu Yunyun, who were eating melons at the crematorium, couldn't help but look at the couple distractedly.
Qin Shiyao made eye contact: See, I was talking about his tea.
Fu Yunyun was excited: Cha Cha is healthier, I love to see Meng Cha act coquettishly.
When Tang Xi opened his mouth, the two of them immediately started eating the melon from the crematorium.
Let more and stronger melons rain down on them.
Tang Qi raised his hands to put on the little boy's hood, covered his ears, and said to Gu Cheng, "My son's father died a long time ago. He only has me as his mother. It has been like this before, now, and in the future."
Gu Cheng complained: "You can't be so selfish."
Tang Qi seemed to hear a huge joke. "When you lied to me that I was a poor painter, didn't you have selfish thoughts? I have never done anything to let you down. It is not your turn to blame me here."
At that time, her family's business ran into big problems and needed funds for turnover, and the Lu family agreed to help.
But the prerequisite for agreeing is that Tang Xi has to marry him. The eldest brother in his family has always liked Tang Xi, but has been unable to marry her for many years.
For the sake of her family, Tang Qi chose to sacrifice her marriage and broke up with Gu Cheng.
"I don't want to argue with you about the past, but this child..." Gu Cheng lowered his voice, "We must discuss it again."
The little boy stared with his big eyes, which were clearly black and white, and had no idea that his biological parents were fighting for him.
Originally, he wanted to teach Tang Qi, a vain woman, a lesson, but he didn't expect it would lead to the formation of a family of three.
Zhu Zilin's emotions collapsed, she put her fingers into her hair and screamed, "Ah——"
"Why is this happening?" Zhu Zilin grabbed her hair, not understanding at all. "How could a child suddenly appear? Where did this child come from? Why is this happening?"
Gu Cheng's eyes became complicated, "So you didn't marry that guy from the Lu family because you were pregnant with me..."
Zhu Zilin cried and asked Gu Cheng, "Am I telling you all this to remind you of the time when she was pregnant?"
Does anyone care about her feelings?
Is there anyone!!
Gu Cheng glanced at her impatiently and said, "You go back first."
Zhu Zilin felt Gu Cheng's deep disdain and felt even more hurt. At this moment, a voice came into his ears.
"——You won't hit him for this?"
Zhu Zilin woke up as if from a dream, raised his hand and slapped Gu Cheng, "Gu Cheng, you have such a cruel heart."
After the beating, he ran away crying.
Ling Yun:?
Why just give me a slap? Are you afraid of hurting your hand?
-
Gu Cheng's face was livid, but when he saw the curious look in the little boy's eyes, he softened his expression and forced a smile.
When the boy saw him, he snuggled into his arms in fear.
Gu Cheng glanced at Tang Qi and tried to explain, "I have nothing to do with her."
Tang Qi's eyes were indifferent, "It has nothing to do with me."
Gu Cheng choked and immediately changed his mind, "Okay, let's not talk about what happened between us, just talk about this child. He will only suffer if he follows you."
Qin Shiyao continued, "But if I follow you, I will learn to deceive young girls and say that I am a poor man."
Fu Yunyun cooperated, "That's right."
Gu Cheng clenched his fist and said to Tang Qi, "Let's find a quiet place to talk."
Tang Qing understood clearly that the other party was trying to help him, so he refused and said, "I just want to talk here."
Gu Cheng could only endure it. He gathered his strength and said, "Have you ever thought about the future? With your current conditions, how can you guarantee your children's education and resources after they start working?"
Qin Shiyao: "Your father gave you these guarantees, but what was the result?"
Fu Yunyun replied: "In the end, he is still a liar and a scumbag."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
Gu Cheng's fingers turned blue from pinching. She ignored the two and continued, "You are also a mother now. Don't be as impulsive as you were in the past. Think more about your child."
Qin Shiyao: "If you really want to care about your children, then leave 500 million behind and never show up again in your life."
Fu Yunyun: "Yes, yes."
Shen Tingzhou didn't know whether to say that Qin Shiyao was quick-witted or quick-witted, just for the sake of popularity.
Gu Cheng didn't say anything for seven or eight seconds. His body was shaking and he was obviously out of breath.
He let out a long, foul breath.
Qin Shiyao: "Oh, you're still quite energetic..."
Gu Cheng couldn't stand it any longer. "I'm just letting out some anger, so please don't complain about me, this passerby!"
Qin Shiyao was not angry and made a gesture of invitation.
Gu Cheng said, "The past is the past. For the sake of our children, I hope we can each take a step back."
Qin Shiyao continued to refute, "Why do you want them to withdraw? It is obviously certain people who are eager to ease the relationship, and you are talking as if they need it."
Fu Yunyun: "That's right."
Shen Tingzhou held Fu Yunyun's shoulder and said, "Stop it, or she will vomit blood."
Gu Cheng stopped talking to Tang Qi and started confronting Qin Shiyao.
Soon he was speechless due to Qin Shiyao's retort and was on the verge of vomiting blood.
Tang Qi also said at this time, "I think what this lady said is right. I think the same as her. Please don't bother me anymore."
Gu Cheng's boss shell was shattered, and he showed his youthful appearance as a painter again, begging, "Hey, hey."
Whenever he made Tang Xi angry in the past, he would look at her with this helpless look and then call her by her nickname to beg for mercy.
Scenes from the past flashed before Tang Qi's eyes, and she closed her eyes for a while.
When I opened my eyes again, everything was clear and empty.
Tang Qi shook his head gently, "It's too late. Your pride has destroyed the last bit of trust I had in you. My pride may have also... hurt you, but it's all in the past. I've already passed the stage where I needed you the most."
Gu Cheng felt as if something was collapsing with a loud bang, and he couldn't help feeling a little panicked.
After Tang Qi broke up with him, Gu Cheng returned to the Gu family and asked someone to investigate the situation of the Tang family.
He knew that the Tang family was in crisis, but he was still angry that Tang Xi didn't tell him anything and chose to sacrifice himself to solve the problem.
So he asked someone to leak the news to Tang Qi, told Tang Qi his identity through someone else, and waited for the other party to come to him.
But Tang Xi didn't.
Why?
Because Tang Qi was also wondering why Gu Cheng lied to her. They had been together for more than a year, why didn't Gu Cheng tell her?
She couldn't figure it out and didn't know what the other person was thinking, so she hoped that he would come to her house and give her an explanation.
They were both waiting for each other to find them, but no one was looking for the other.
Later, Tang Qi found out that she was pregnant, and her marriage to the Lu family was called off. She had a big fight with her parents and left home.
Without Gu Cheng's help, she gave birth to the child.
Without Gu Cheng, she raised her child to this age, and her son is very sensible.
Tang Qi said firmly, "I don't need anyone now. I can take care of myself and my son."
Qin Shiyao applauded: "Well said, people like you should come to our company."
Tang Qi shook his head. "Thank you, not at the moment. I'm doing well here."
She has an education, but because she has to raise a child alone, she cannot do many jobs. The owner of this shopping mall is very kind and allows her to work while bringing her child.
Tang Qi is the logistics supervisor, but today a celebrity was having a meet-and-greet downstairs and everyone was transferred there, so she temporarily served as a cleaner.
"Thank you." Tang Qi thanked them sincerely, then picked up his son and prepared to leave.
"Hey." Gu Cheng couldn't help but run over and pull her hand.
Tang Qi avoided the question and said, "I have said everything I need to say. Please don't bother us anymore."
Gu Cheng naturally refused. While he was struggling with Tang Qing, he suddenly felt a strong wind passing by his ear.
Before he could react, he was slapped away.
Tang Qi subconsciously covered the child's eyes and watched Gu Cheng spin out in shock.
Ling Yun, who finally had the chance to take action, said coldly: "People have told you to stop getting involved. Don't you understand what they are saying?"
Shen Tingzhou knew that someone would take action today. He had previously thought it would be a mixed doubles match between Qin Shiyao and Ling Yun.
Now only Ling Yun took action, and it was just a slap, but Shen Tingzhou actually thought the situation was not bad.
Gu Cheng leaned his hands on the wall, his eyebrows twitching, and the anger in his eyes continued to accumulate.
Qin Shiyao said, "This can be considered as you returning the favor for your female companion, who just hit the child's mother."
Gu Cheng's body stiffened, he lowered his head, and stopped talking.
-
After the birthday party, Shen Tingzhou drove Xu Xun home.
On the way, Shen Tingzhou chatted with Xu Xunxian, "Isn't it a bit too chaotic today? I hope it didn't disturb you?"
Xu Xun seemed to be in a good mood. "It's good. I haven't felt this lively for a long time."
Shen Tingzhou's tone became relaxed, "When was the last time it was so lively?"
After asking, Shen Tingzhou regretted it. He was worried that Xu Xun's parents were still alive.
Just as I was about to say something to change the subject, I heard Xu Xun say, "It was so lively last time, I decided to go to that party with you."
Shen Tingzhou was a little embarrassed, "Well, it was indeed quite lively that time."
"Thank you for the gift for my sister."
"Do you have time lately?"
Shen Tingzhou and Xu Xun's voices rang out at the same time, and they smiled at each other.
Shen Tingzhou said modestly, "You speak first."
Xu Xun asked, "My family has a house in Tangshan. I plan to go there to soak in the hot springs. Do you want to go?"
Shen Tingzhou said, "I won't go."
Xu Xun looked over and asked, "Are you busy?"
Shen Tingzhou explained, "A lot of my work is temporary, and I'm not sure if it will be available. The only fixed thing is that I have to go to Mr. Su's place every Wednesday."
Actually, he is not very busy now. Employer No. 1 is still in a coma in the hospital, and employer No. 2... let's not talk about it.
Number three is Su Yu’s house, where I must go every Wednesday, and number four is Xu Xun’s.
Xu Xun: "You can come back on Wednesday, will you go?"
Shen Tingzhou was still hesitating, and Xu Xun spoke again, but this time it was not a question, "Let's go together."
The car's interior lights cast a dim light, and the two people's eyes met. Xu Xun's eyes were serious.
Shen Tingzhou was confused and asked, "What about the cat?"
Xu Xun was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Take them together and drive away."
Hearing that the three cats were also going, Shen Tingzhou nodded in agreement.
Xu Xun's face was half hidden in the darkness, like a half-chaste girl. "What if the cat doesn't leave?"
"Then I'll stay and take care of the cat for you." Shen Tingzhou said this because he is good at this job.
Shen Tingzhou seemed to hear Xu Xun hum, but also seemed not to.
After returning home in the evening, Shen Tingzhou washed up, changed into pajamas and lay on the bed, and as usual, he checked Xu Xun's circle of friends.
In the past, Xu Xun would post some cat videos at night, and Shen Tingzhou would like and comment on them.
But today there is none, just a dry and sleepy feeling.
Shen Tingzhou didn't understand, but he still gave a thumbs up and left a good night message.
-
Since becoming a family doctor, Shen Tingzhou hasn't gone out to play for a long time.
Because it was a temporary decision, the preparations were very hasty, and Shen Tingzhou began to pack his things early in the morning.
Medicine is definitely a necessity, and you should also bring some cat things.
After a little packing, he sorted out two suitcases. Shen Tingzhou felt that there were too many things and planned to reduce some of the luggage, but he couldn't clear out the space, so he took the two suitcases to Xu Xun's house.
Under Xu Xun's huge suitcase, Shen Tingzhou felt that his two small pieces of luggage were really inconspicuous, and he felt relieved.
When Xu Xun returned to his room to get his pillow, the housekeeper said to Shen Tingzhou:
"He has had this problem since he was little. He can't sleep without his own pillow. Every time I change his pillow, it's like changing cat food for a cat with a bad stomach. I have to wait until he falls asleep, secretly put on a new pillow, and then change it back during the day. It takes several nights of torment before I can successfully change it back."
Shen Tingzhou couldn't help but laugh, mainly because the description of housekeeper was too vivid.
Shen Tingzhou was puzzled, "Why must he change it?"
The housekeeper said, "He ruined the old pillow."
Hahaha, if it’s not bad, it can’t be changed, right?
Looking at the tall young man coming down from the second floor, the housekeeper sighed, "He's much older now. He was very difficult to deal with when he was little."
Shen Tingzhou noticed that his eyes were filled with nostalgia, and said with a smile, "But you still miss him as a child, right?"
The butler looked away, "Yes, but if I were to go back to that time, I would probably still want to beat him up."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
When Xu Xun came over, he saw Shen Tingzhou had a strange expression on his face. The housekeeper smiled but said nothing. He looked at both of them for a while. Xu Xun asked Shen Tingzhou, "What's wrong?"
Shen Tingzhou shook his head and refused to mention the time when his master was beaten as described by the housekeeper.
Xu Xun glanced at the butler.
The housekeeper said, "Now that we have your little pillow, let's go."
Xu Xun seemed to dislike what he said, and when he was about to speak, the other party turned around and left.
Xu Xun had no choice but to tell Shen Tingzhou, "I am a little bit picky about pillows, but only a little."
Shen Tingzhou nodded in agreement, "Yeah, actually it's normal to have your own unique sleeping habits. Some people are particular about their beds, some are particular about their pillows, and some like to touch other people's ears when they sleep. I've even seen people who like to fold the corners of their quilts."
Xu Xun became interested, "What about you?"
Shen Tingzhou: “I don’t have any.”
Xu Xun: “Oh.”
-
We drove a motorhome on the trip and hired two drivers to take turns driving to ensure safety on the road.
After driving for nearly thirty hours, the car entered Tangshan and headed towards the suburbs.
Shen Tingzhou thought that the house Xu Xun was talking about was at most a villa. When the house hidden among the trees became clearer and clearer, Shen Tingzhou found that it was not an exaggeration to describe it as a castle.
The housekeeper explained, "This was left by the young master's grandfather's ancestors. It can no longer be bought or sold."
After arriving at the place, Shen Tingzhou finally understood why the house could not be sold.
Because it has a very historical feel, there are even bullet holes on it, it looks like it has experienced war and has a history of at least a hundred years.
Normally, no one lives here. Only in winter do people come here to soak in hot springs, ski in the snow-capped mountains, and visit the birch forest.
Xu Xun had given notice in advance, and the people who stayed here had already cleaned out three rooms.
Seeing that they were still cleaning other guest rooms, the housekeeper asked, "Is there anyone else coming?"
The nanny said, "Master Huaifei is coming."
Upon hearing this name, Xu Xun and the housekeeper's faces fell.
Shen Tingzhou didn't see their expressions and repeated the name Huaifei again, "It sounds nice."
Xu Xun looked over and asked, "Does it sound good?"
Shen Tingzhou noticed the subtle atmosphere and couldn't help but think, "Could this person be..."
The housekeeper smiled, "Yes, it's the man who wanted to commit suicide that Doctor Shen saved a few days ago, Fu Huaifei."
Shen Tingzhou shut up immediately because he could feel that Xu Xun and the butler had some complaints about Fu Huaifei and the butler.
Xu Xun even considered leaving and wanted to find a five-star hotel to stay in.
The housekeeper was too lazy to bother any more, so Xu Xun went upstairs unhappily holding his pillow.
Looking at the furious Xu Xun, Shen Tingzhou secretly asked the housekeeper, "Why are they so rude?"
The housekeeper shook his head. "It's not that they are not at odds. Mr. Fu is the young master's uncle. The age difference between the two is not too big. They often played together when they were young."
Shen Tingzhou had eaten too much melon, and his thoughts could not help but wander to the melodrama, "So what happened later that directly caused the two of them to reach the freezing point?"
It's usually because of love.
For example, Xu Xun likes someone, and my uncle happens to like that person too, but the girl likes...
Anyway, he definitely liked one of them and disliked the other, which caused a rift between the uncle and nephew.
The butler gave an unexpected answer, "Nothing happened."
ah?
Shen Tingzhou didn't understand, "Why doesn't he want to see my uncle?"
It sounds like the two of them have a pretty good relationship. Could it be...
Mother Xu had the right to inherit the Fu family. After her accidental death, the family property should be inherited by Xu Xun.
However, Fu Huaifei, his former playmate and uncle, did not like the power in the family falling into the hands of outsiders, so the uncle and nephew broke up and never had any contact with each other until they died.
The housekeeper said, "I am unhappy because of the loan."
It really has something to do with money!
Ah? Loan?
Shen Tingzhou was surprised, "Mr. Xu, do you still need a loan?"
He easily spends more than 600,000 yuan to give out birthday gifts to others. Does he still need a loan?
The housekeeper nodded, "Yeah, loan jealousy."
Shen Tingzhou:?
Housekeeper: "They have similar tastes. Mr. Fu has a history of stealing the young master's toys, so..."
A voice came from the second floor, "Something happened to the kitten."
Shen Tingzhou's heart suddenly began to beat like a mountain: !!!
He rushed upstairs and asked anxiously, "What happened to the kitten? What happened to the kitten?"
Xu Xun stood at the door of the room and said, "The kitten tripped and fell down."
Shen Tingzhou saw the little silver gradient lying on the carpet with its belly exposed. Rather than it tripping itself, this posture looked more like someone turned it over and it... was licking its fur on the spot.
The carpet is very thick and there is no sound when you step on it. The cat probably likes this feeling too.
Shen Tingzhou looked at Xu Xun, who gestured exaggeratedly, "It rolled over twice after it stumbled. It must have been stunned."
Xiaoyin gradually ignored the outside world, spread her legs, and licked her leg hair. Her posture was very indecent.
Shen Tingzhou: "...It's such a soft carpet, it won't be a problem if we hit two more."
Xu Xun: "You can't say that. It's still small. Let's check it out."
Shen Tingzhou looked at Xu Xun in surprise. Xu Xun usually appeared to be a strict father, so why did he become a kind father this time?
Xu Xun allowed Shen Tingzhou to look at him without any guilt.
Shen Tingzhou did not suspect anything and walked over to check the kitten.
Xu Xun squatted beside them and said, "I think it doesn't fit in here, and there's too much hair on the carpet. What if they inhale dry vomit?"
Shen Tingzhou grabbed Xiaoyin's belly and said, "This kind of carpet is fine."
Xu Xun added, "But there are many reliefs in this room, and if they fall down while they're clawing, they'll be gone."
That is a problem.
Shen Tingzhou was not worried about the cat, as it was very quick to react. He was afraid that these reliefs, which probably witnessed history, would be damaged. It would be a shame.
Seeing Shen Tingzhou's hesitation, Xu Xun took out his phone and said, "Then I'll book a hotel."
Shen Tingzhou felt something was wrong with Xu Xun's abnormal behavior. "Are you afraid of meeting your uncle?"
Xu Xun poked his phone to look at the hotel. The light from the screen fell on his handsome face. He said in a light tone, "I'm not afraid. I just think he's troublesome. When I go on vacation, I still think... it's better to keep it simple."
Shen Tingzhou heard another meaning, "Isn't it easy with him around?"
Xu Xun: "He is a very troublesome person. He needs three sets of tableware for a meal, and he needs to light aromatherapy and put flower petals in the bath, listen to records, and drink red wine. Every time I go out with him, I have to wait for him for more than an hour."
Shen Tingzhou blurted out, "He puts on makeup?"
Xu Xun: "More or less. He has to put a lot of stuff on his face anyway. He particularly hates the sun. Sometimes he even flies an umbrella, and he wears lace ones."
Shen Tingzhou: What an exaggerated man.
Then Shen Tingzhou quickly cursed in his heart, maybe the other party was tortured because he was different, which made him do something stupid last time.
As long as it does not violate the law and morality, every hobby should be respected.
Shen Tingzhou said, "I think we still need to understand him better."
Xu Xun said, "I think we should stay away from him."
The two looked at each other and the atmosphere calmed down.
Xu Xun's face was paralyzed. "Why? Just because his name is nice?"
Shen Tingzhou was a little amused. "It has nothing to do with the name. I just think he might be a little...fragile. I don't know if my feeling is wrong."
Xu Xun: "Yes, he likes to make himself sick."
When Shen Tingzhou heard this, he felt something was wrong. "Did he do it himself?"
Xu Xun hummed expressionlessly, "He often draws blood, saying that he is donating blood for all mankind, but in fact he just likes the feeling of being weak and pale."
Shen Tingzhou frowned deeply, "This is also a form of self-mutilation, it's a pathological psychology!"
Xu Xun corrected, "It's the psychology of loving beauty."
Shen Tingzhou was stunned, "Ah?"
At this time, the butler's voice came from downstairs, "Master, your uncle is here."
Xu Xun frowned slightly. Shen Tingzhou thought he was annoyed with Fu Huaifei, so he quickly comforted him, "Be calm, you must be calm. He just committed suicide a few days ago. We can't hurt him again."
People like them are very sensitive and can sense the slightest rejection from the outside world.
Not to mention rejection, even if others don't bother to look at them, they will think too much.
Xu Xun stood up and said, "He would not commit suicide, at least not by jumping into the river, because his body would swell and look ugly."
Is that so?
Shen Tingzhou followed Xu Xun out half-believingly and half-doubtingly, just in time to see Fu Huaifei coming in.
Fu Huaifei was wearing a black velvet hoodie with a three-piece suit underneath. His long black hair was hidden in his hat. His skin was snow-white, but his lips were bright red. His facial features were so handsome that it was hard to tell whether he was androgynous.
With his skin color and the way he was dressed when he appeared in this castle, he really looked like a vampire in the movie.
Fu Huaifei walked in weakly, and when he saw Shen Tingzhou at the entrance of the second floor, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
