☆, Chapter 39
Xiu Yangui raised the corner of his lips bitterly, "I also hope that things are not like that, but...how is it possible..."
Xi Mo didn't know how to describe the feeling in her heart. Anyway, Xiu Yangui was sad, and she was sad too, "Xiu Yangui..."
"It's almost ten o'clock now, Xi Momo, are you going back tonight?"
Xiu Yangui asked in a low voice, his tone flat. Xi Mo felt that he didn't want her to go home and hoped that she could stay here with him.
Xi Mo shook her head and said, "I'm not going back. I want to sleep at your house and you can sleep on the floor."
Xiu Yangui finally smiled and looked normal, "Okay, I'll sleep on the floor."
As soon as I got home and opened the door, the light in the entrance hall was on. A small warm light illuminated the entrance hall, making the crystal decorations on the shoe cabinet sparkle.
Moli was sleeping soundly on the blanket with her legs spread out. When she found someone coming home, she moved her little ears, turned over and continued to sleep, feeling cozy and comfortable.
Xi Mo had boiled some water before going downstairs, and now she was just about to make a cup of honey water for Xiu Yangui. She felt dizzy after smelling the alcohol on him for too long.
Xiu Yangui took a shower and sobered up a little. He stood on the balcony and looked down, his eyes dark and deep.
In the past, when Fang Sai came to cause trouble for him, he would confront Fang Sai directly and fight back with a fearless attitude.
And now, with Xi Mo by his side, he knew that Xi Mo could take care of herself, just like how calm and composed she was when she called the police just now. There was nothing to worry about, but Xiu Yangui couldn't do it. He cared about Xi Mo more than himself.
The hidden danger of Fang Sai must be resolved.
In addition, there was another thing that lingered in his mind.
"what's on your mind?"
Xi Mo walked out, stood next to Xiu Yangui, and handed him the honey water.
Xiu Yangui took the honey water and pulled Xi Mo into the room, "Just ask me to come in. It's cold outside, don't go out."
"I called out, but you didn't hear me."
"Huh? I see. Sorry."
Xiu Yangui took a sip of honey water, met Xi Mo's gaze, and pondered for a few seconds.
"Xiu Sang-soo came to see me."
This was beyond Xi Mo's expectations and she was a little surprised. Did this happen in her previous life?
"He came to see you?"
"Yes, during the winter break, before the Chinese New Year, he asked me to go to Xiu's house for dinner."
Contempt and disdain appeared in Xiu Yangui's eyes, and he felt disgusted with his biological father.
"What do you think he was thinking? Letting his illegitimate child celebrate the New Year at his home? Is this New Year even worth celebrating? Who is he trying to disgust? Does he dislike his wife and child so much?"
Xiu Yangui had never seen his biological father, and he didn't bother to meet him. Since Xiu Shangzhu didn't want him, he wouldn't recognize Xiu Shangzhu.
"He's a dead man. Have you ever seen anyone celebrate the New Year at a dead man's house? Should I go to pay him New Year's greetings or to visit his grave? Don't you think so, Xi Momo?"
Seeing Xiu Yangui acting so childishly, Xi Mo smiled and said, "Yes."
It seems that Xiu Yangui is not bothered by Xiu Shangzhu's sudden appearance. What happened?
Xiu Yangui put aside his joke and became serious. "I think, since I'm an adult now, I want to go see Xiu Shangzhu in the next few days, as soon as possible."
"Tell him that I don't want anything, nothing from the Xiu family. I just want to sever ties with the Xiu family and sign a legally binding severance agreement."
"What do you think?"
Xiu Yangui raised his eyes again, shining brightly like the stars in the night sky, and they were wet.
The young man is independent and has a lot of ideas. He knows what he wants and will fight for it.
All he lacks is recognition and companionship.
Without his mother by his side, his friends didn't know his past, and the only person he could seek help from was Xi Mo.
"I think it's great. Your idea is very good."
"Yeah."
Xiu Yangui smiled, his eyes curved, without any playfulness or ruffian look, just pure happiness.
"I'll go with you."
"Don't," Xiu Yangui waved her hand. "You are a young lady of pure blood, why are you hanging out with a bastard like me? It's against the rules."
Xiu Yangui has slowly come to accept himself, no matter who he is now or who he was in the past, no matter who he is now an adult or who he was as an illegitimate child.
Xi Mo stared at Xiu Yangui with wide eyes, not liking what he said.
"I don't want to hear that."
"You are the best, you have to know this, you are the best."
He spoke each word with great seriousness and his tone was full of earnestness.
Xiu Yangui's ears blushed quietly, "I know, I know, it was just a joke."
Xi Mo didn't laugh, but kept a straight face. "I don't like this joke."
"Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore." Xiu Yangui naturally agreed with her.
"But you really don't have to accompany me. Once I'm done with my work, I'll take you out for dinner."
"All right."
Xi Mo returned to her gentle and calm self, and Xiu Yangui started laughing again as he watched her.
"Look at you, you usually don't have any temper, but when you get angry you get mad, you don't like jokes and don't want to hear them. You are so willful, Xi Momo."
Xi Mo's way of expressing her current emotions is to tell others directly how she feels. She can blurt out her feelings, boldly and bravely, straightforwardly and simply, self-centered, but with a pure heart.
This is what Xiu Yangui envies the most, but it is also something he cannot do.
Xi Mo was frightened by him and thought that it was wrong for her to speak like that. "Can you teach me how to say it correctly?"
"No, no, no, you're fine like this."
Xiu Yangui really thought that the way Xi Mo spoke was very good. He didn't have to guess or speculate, and he could know her inner thoughts simply and clearly.
But Xi Mo said, "It's good for you to be like this."
"Hmm? What about me?"
"Your language skills and social skills are very good."
Xi Mo always praised Xiu Yangui in this meticulous and focused manner.
Xiu Yangui smiled and moved closer to Xi Mo, "Do you really think it's good? Don't you think it's greasy and pretentious?"
He remembers everything those who hate him say about him.
"I really feel good. I don't feel that way. You are the best."
Xi Mo's sincerity and straightforwardness, and her willingness to say whatever she wants, is sometimes a torture for Xiu Yangui. He longs for more and wants more.
"Why, Xi Mo, because I'm your friend?"
Xiu Yangui stared at Xi Mo with a sharp gaze, holding his breath and waiting for Xi Mo's answer.
Xi Mo lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, "Because you are very important to me, especially important."
Not just a friend, he is someone very important to her.
Okay, he was already very satisfied with this answer. After all, there was still a long way to go.
After turning off the lights, Xiu Yangui stared at the ceiling for a few seconds. Xi Mo, who was lying on the bed, was ready to fall asleep when she heard a whisper slowly rising from the side of the bed and reaching her ears.
"You are very important to me, too."
Xi Mo turned over and closed her eyes again, "I know."
This was no joke, she really knew it.
Xiu Yangui got the support of Xi Mo. The next day, he sent a message to Xiu Shangzhu, asking for a meeting with him and asking him to bring a lawyer.
Xiu Shangzhu called while the two of them were having breakfast.
Xiu Yangui stared at the phone interface, muted the ringtone, let it ring for a while, wiped his mouth gracefully, and then answered the call. He then pointed at the phone to Xi Mo, turned on the speakerphone, and let Xi Mo listen to Xiu Shangzhu fart together.
"Hey, Yan Gui."
It was Xiu Shangzhu's hypocritical voice that almost made Xiu Yangui vomit the breakfast he had just eaten.
"Um."
"Of course it's fine to meet with Dad, but why do you need a lawyer?"
"First of all, I don't have a father. Don't be so sentimental. It makes me want to vomit."
"Secondly, I want to sever ties with you and the Xiu family. I don't want anything from you."
"In order to make what I say more credible and legally effective, I can sign a contract with you. So, I ask you to bring your lawyer. After all, your lawyer is more powerful."
"Third, I'm an adult now. You have no right to control what I do. You can only cooperate."
"Finally, I'm not communicating with you, I'm informing you."
Xiu Yangui spoke in a flat tone, imitating Xi Mo's usual way of speaking, communicating with Xiu Shangzhu in a stable and calm manner. It must be said that it felt really good to talk like this, and he felt like he was in control of the situation and could win the battle from afar.
Xiu Yangui winked at Xi Mo playfully: I'm awesome, right?
Xi Mo smiled and nodded at him.
This was the first and last time he and Xiu Shangzhu spoke on the phone. After today, they had no relationship.
There was only silence on the other end of the phone. Finally, Xiu Shangzhu sighed and said, "Let's meet in the afternoon to talk."
Xiu Yangui hung up the phone first, rolled his eyes again, and said with a funny expression, "You old fool, I almost vomited just talking to you, and I still want to see you, ugh."
"What are you laughing at, Xi Momo."
Xi Mo was still smiling. The high school boy who had always maintained a serious image became more lively and childish, and quite cute.
Meeting Xiu Shangzhu was not a difficult task, and he did not feel any burden in his heart. After all, neither he nor Wu Manlin were good people, they just took what they needed. Even Xiu Yangui had no worries about food and drink when he was a child because of the huge sum of money given by Xiu Shangzhu.
The one who really hurt Wu Manlin and him was Xiu Shangzhu's wife, but it was understandable because his mother was a mistress and he was an illegitimate child.
Now Xiu Yangui has evolved into a Bodhisattva. If Xiu Shangzhu's wife comes to him and scolds him, he will not have any emotional fluctuations.
When these things are over, he will start over with Xi Mo.
In the afternoon, Xi Mo went out with Xiu Yangui. He met Xiu Shangzhu in a teahouse. Xi Mo sat in the coffee shop next to her and waited for Xiu Yangui to finish, and then the two went out to eat.
"Then I'll go first, you stay here."
Xiu Yangui was afraid that Xi Mo would be bored, so he ordered a drink and three plates of exquisite snacks for her, just like a parent who was worried about his child.
"You go, I can do it alone." Xi Mo took out her cell phone and started playing with Chen Nianyu, then waved to Xiu Yangui.
Xiu Yangui curled his lips and smiled, "Okay, I'll be back soon."
Xiu Shangzhu, who was already sitting in the private room of the teahouse waiting for Xiu Yan to return, looked at the information brought by his assistant with a sullen face.
His face, which is intimidating without being angry, is only slightly similar to Xiu Yangui. Xiu Shangzhu's face is more resolute. Even though he is almost fifty years old, he still maintains a strong body. The slight wrinkles do not destroy his charm, but add a bit of maturity.
This was the first time Xiu Yangui actually met his biological father. The father and son were not alike at all. Wu Manlin's genes were stronger in him.
Xiu Yangui couldn't help but wonder, the reason he was able to grow up healthy and not be killed by Xiu Shangzhu's wife might be because he was not similar to Xiu Shangzhu at all.
"Yan Gui, you are here."
Xiu Yangui was not here to meet his father and son. "Ask your lawyer to draft the contract. We will still be strangers from now on."
"Do you really have to talk to Dad like this?"
"Yes, speaking of this, the agreement between you and my mother was that you gave her money and I would take your surname. Since we've already used the money, I'll still be surnamed Xiu. That's it, that's all."
Xiu Shangzhu rubbed his forehead with a headache. "I know you blame me. You and Manlin suffered a lot because of my...wife."
"After Manlin went abroad, you didn't have a good life either. I thought your mother would let you go after she went abroad, but I didn't expect your brother to get involved again. It's really..."
"My brother? Where do I get a brother? Are you okay?"
"Alas," Xiu Shangzhu seemed to have aged ten years. "Changle is only half a year younger than you. He's not as sensible as you are. He's been spoiled by his mother and does things recklessly."
"Changle hates both you and Manlin because of his mother. Fortunately, you are very hardworking and not influenced by them. You even passed the moral education exam. Dad is proud of you."
Changle? Xiu Changle?
Xiu Yangui remembered that Xiu Changle was the son of Xiu Shangzhu and his wife Jiang Wenjing, the only legitimate child, only half a year younger than him. Putting aside other things, the more Xiu Yangui looked at Xiu Shangzhu, the more disgusted he felt.
But wasn't Fang Sai the one bullying him? Could it be that Xiu Changle was behind it?
"If I had discovered what Wenjing and Changle did earlier, your mother and you wouldn't have to be separated, and you wouldn't have to be bullied all the time."
Xiu Yangui couldn't bear to see Xiu Shangzhu's disgusting expression, "So you have to cut off all ties with me. I'm afraid of dying at the hands of your family."
Xiu Shangzhu's face changed. He didn't want to lose Xiu Yangui, this outstanding child. Compared with Xiu Changle, he felt that Xiu Yangui was more suitable to inherit the Xiu family.
Xiu Shangzhu has always been the one who can call the shots. As the only son of the master of the Xiu family, he has always been the object of everyone's pursuit.
He has high aspirations and marries for the sake of the family business, but he does not love Jiang Wenjing and will not compromise himself for the sake of the family. He likes passionate and open-minded women, and a marriage relationship cannot tie him down. He still does not return home every night.
Later, he met the gorgeous Wu Manlin, the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
Wu Manlin also fell in love with him, or to be more precise, his money.
But this kind of relationship is not allowed by everyone. He has to go back to that home to act and be a good husband. Although he does not love Jiang Wenjing, they have to have a child.
Unexpectedly, Wu Manlin became pregnant first. She came to him, but he asked her to give birth to the child, but he didn't want the child. He gave Wu Manlin a sum of money, gave the child the surname Xiu, and then left.
