Chapter 88: Sit back and watch the dog bite the dog
The atmosphere dropped to the freezing point again. Xi's father reached out to stop Qu Tao, frowning and looking at his old friend.
"Brother Mu, the child should not be too accustomed. If this was my son, I would have hit him with the sole of my shoe. But this is your son, and you have the final say on how to deal with him. Anyway, today, we must see him." As expected
of an old fox, even his words are technical, and he has three levels of defense in one sentence. Not
only did he save face for his old friend, but he also stated his own position, and at the same time, he implied that the son's failure to teach is the fault of the father. After
Xi's father finished speaking, Qu Tao secretly gave him a thumbs up.
Thinking that his son not only has a prosperous company, but also does not need the elders to worry about his marriage, Mu's father, who was laughed at by his old friend at this time, was burning more and more in his heart.
"Mu Jingyan, I've been too used to you since we were little, are you going to let me go or not?"
Mu Jingyan snorted at Mu's father: "What? You want to take the soles of your shoes from me? To tell you the truth, even if you take out the soles of your shoes, I won't let you go today."
"You... you idiot, you just want to piss me off to death as soon as possible after seeing that I've lived for a long time, right?"
Mu's father took off his old Beijing cloth shoes while talking. Xi Mozhou took advantage of Mu Jingyan's relaxed vigilance, pushed him aside, and winked at Qu Tao.
"Hurry up and get in."
"Come out, none of you can get in." Mu Jingyan's voice was almost a roar, but his body was firmly trapped by Mu's father and Xi Mozhou.
Xi's father took a look at the postures of the three people, and seeing that Mu Jingyan couldn't get away, he followed Qu Tao in.
"He is the grandson of Brother He, right?"
"No."
Qu Tao stared at the gauze on Shi Jun's wrist without turning his head. The old man refused to believe it.
"Don't try to fool me. This child looks exactly like his father when he was young."
"He has no father."
Father Xi was silent for a moment, nodded in agreement, and thought about the life experience of the young man on the bed, his eyes full of pity.
"Why is this child so depressed? If his mother saw this, she would be so distressed!"
"He will be fine."
The dispute outside was still going on. Father Xi sighed, patted Qu Tao's shoulder, and gestured to the door.
"Okay, I feel relieved after seeing it. He is still unconscious and can't speak. Let's go out first and come to see him tomorrow."
On the way back, Qu Tao thought about Mu Jingyan taking care of Shi Jun as if he were a private property, and felt indignant.
"Mu Jingyan might be mentally ill. Shi Jun didn't sell himself to him, so why would he stop us from going in?"
"He didn't even think about how he treated that kid before. That time at Wufeng Mountain, that kid almost died at his hands. Now he's pretending to be a good guy."
Qu Tao was getting angrier and angrier. Xi Mozhou couldn't help but interrupt him, "As long as he doesn't have any ideas about you anymore, it'll be fine."
"What did you say?"
Qu Tao raised his eyebrows and looked at him coldly. Xi Mozhou knew that what he said was selfish, so he didn't dare to repeat it.
"Are you hallucinating because you're angry? I didn't say anything."
On the way back, Xi's father didn't say a word until they entered the hall of the old house, then he called the two of them to stop.
"I want to call Brother He and tell him about this. What do you think?"
"No, I don't agree. They are the He family and don't deserve to see Shi Jun, let alone recognize him."
Qu Tao was the first to object. Father Xi understood what he meant and pointed to the sofa in the living room.
"Tao Tao, don't be impatient. Listen to me first and then make a decision."
After the three of them sat down on the sofa, Father Xi expressed his thoughts.
"I have no intention of letting them recognize each other. In fact, I've thought about it all the way and I think it's better to tell him."
"First, the child is still young and has a long way to go. If Brother He can really give the child some material security, it will not be a bad thing for the child." "
Second, the child hasn't woken up yet. Let him see with his own eyes the evil his son did in the past. He will inevitably feel distressed and guilty and try to get more things for the child." "Third,
since we promised them, we have to give them an answer sooner or later. I think now is the best time."
After saying this, Father Xi stared at the two of them: "Think about what I said, do you think it makes sense?" There
was still opposition in Qu Tao's eyes, but he didn't say anything. Xi Mozhou glanced at him and turned to the old man.
"What if Shi Jun doesn't want to recognize them, and we make a decision for him on our own, and he blames us when he wakes up?"
"That's easy. After we take the things, we can kick them away. Anyway, the He family was unkind first, and even if they are unjust, they are just returning the favor."
"If the He family intends to make things difficult for that child, we can still restrain them at Difeng."
After saying this, Father Xi saw that the two of them were silent, and patted Qu Tao on the shoulder.
"When people live in the world, there are some things that cannot be too emotional. If this child hates the He family, he can just take the things, make himself stronger, and retaliate."
"Everything has its reasons, who can say anything?"
Jiang is still experienced, and his analysis is very logical. Qu Tao was slightly moved, but still needed time to digest.
I didn't eat enough in the morning because of Mu's father's arrival. Now it was past lunch time, Qu Tao stood up from the sofa and walked to the restaurant.
"Let's talk later, I'm hungry, I want to eat." After
lunch, it was afternoon. Winter days are short, and there was a strong wind outside all day, so Qu Tao and Xi Mozhou changed the time to go to the cemetery to next week.
After playing a few games of chess with the old man, when it was getting dark, Qu Tao got up and prepared to go back to Qinhai.
The old man was still thinking about what he mentioned at noon, and reached out to grab him: "Have you thought about what happened at noon? Tell me your opinion, I'll call Brother He later."
"If I've thought about it, you can tell him, but..." Qu Tao changed the subject with a wicked smile, "Call me later, it's best when you're about to go to bed."
"You're so smart, you deliberately prevented people from coming, and you also want to make people unable to sleep, right?"
Thinking of Shi Jun devoting himself to Mu Jingyan for his mother's medical expenses, Qu Tao admitted it generously.
"Yes, that's what I mean. I haven't received any support money for 18 years, and now you want to take it back so easily. I can't stand it."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll call you when I go to bed."
The next day, Qu Tao got up early on purpose, wanting to go to the hospital before Mu Jingyan went to the hospital.
But what he didn't expect was that Mu Jingyan didn't go back last night.
"How much time has passed, and he's still not awake?"
"A bunch of rubbish, what do you do for a living?"
He and Xi Mozhou hadn't even reached the door of the ward when they heard a scolding voice from inside.
Mu Jingyan had originally not allowed them to see Shi Jun, and now he was angry again. Qu Tao gestured to Xi Mozhou to point to the bench in the corridor.
"Let's go in later. Let's sit over there for a while."
"No need. If you want to see Shi Jun, go ahead and see him. I'll suppress him."
"That's not necessary. I believe it will be a dog-eat-dog fight soon."
"?" Xi Mozhou didn't understand what he meant for a moment. Qu Tao winked at him cunningly. "You forgot that the old man called the He family last night."
Qu Tao looked at the time and it was just past seven o'clock. "Don't worry, we won't have to wait long. Let's go sit over there for a while."
