Chapter 109 Metaphysics Live Broadcast + Raising a Child 33
After arriving in Beijing, the plane flew directly to the Liu family's private airport.
The Liu family is located on the hillside of Wangzu Mountain outside the capital. The scenery here is beautiful and many wealthy aristocrats live here. It is the kind that even money cannot buy.
In this place where every inch of land is worth money, the Liu family's residence occupies a large area. It has to be said that the Liu family is really rich.
The Liu family's estate is a walled manor with a spacious yard outside, a parking lot and a garden inside, and a large house next to it.
The reception room on the first floor is surrounded by transparent bulletproof glass. Guests can sit here and enjoy the scenery outside the window. The facilities in the house are very automated. Many technological products that cannot be seen on the market can be seen here. Even the many workers employed look very professional.
Liu Deyi and his wife were already waiting in the living room. Beside them was the young man Xiao Yan had met before, who was their youngest son Ning Qi'an whom they had just found.
It can be seen that he was well-educated, and his etiquette, words and deeds were very appropriate.
"Master, you are finally here!" Liu Deyi greeted him warmly.
"Please forgive my negligence for not being able to pick you up in person." Liu Deyi looked much more energetic than in the video, probably because his son was found. He was in high spirits and spoke with full energy.
Xiao Yan finally knew who Liu Deyi inherited his cheerfulness from.
This feeling is like that of an elegant scholar speaking Northeastern dialect. No offense intended, but those who understand will understand.
"You're welcome, Mr. Liu, I'm Xiao Yan."
Liu Deyi replied very naturally: "Okay, Brother Xiao."
Liu Guangyu: “…”
You're already calling each other brother, so what should you call him? Uncle?
He is so much older than Xiao Yan, it’s not right to call him uncle???
No one could understand what Liu Guangyu was thinking.
"This is my little son, Xiao An."
Ning Qi'an followed up by shouting, "Hello, Brother Xiao."
Xiao Yan: “…”
You two, father and son, one calling you brother and the other brother, why does it feel weird? Besides, Ning Qi'an is older than him...
Liu Deyi smiled and said, "Let's discuss our own affairs. Brother Xiao, don't worry about it."
The Liu family was very welcoming, and there was no end to the fruit snacks. They were even more enthusiastic at the dinner table. If Xiao Yan didn't look so young, they would have wanted to urge him to drink. In short, they were very enthusiastic, and Chen Zhao had a lot of fun playing with her friends.
At night, the Liu family thoughtfully arranged for Chen Zhao to sleep in the room next to his. Liu Dexin slept with her little friend. Liu Zhengyi also wanted to join them, but was rejected by his father. Just when he was unhappy, Chen Zhao gave him a doll, and he was immediately coaxed into happiness. It can only be said that he is a bit like a sister-con.
When visiting someone else's home, Xiao Yan did not have the habit of staying in bed. He got up at seven in the morning, just in time for breakfast.
As for Chen Zhao, because he and Liu Dexin chatted too late last night, the two children have not woken up yet.
"Children need to sleep more so they can grow." Ms. Sun was worried that Xiao Yan would feel embarrassed, so she spoke up for the child.
Now she looks refreshed and has some of the brightness and radiance of her youth.
Ning Qian'an and his family had an agreement that he would live in one of their houses for one month. Since he had just been found, he lived in the Liu family for the first month.
Liu Deyi was also very open-minded and had no intention of asking Ning Qi'an to change his surname. After all, Ning Qi'an had lived in the Ning family for so long and must have had feelings for them. How could he force a child to change his surname based solely on blood ties? This would be unfair to both the child and the Ning family.
Regardless of the grace of giving birth or raising the child, they are already very grateful that the child has been found and raised well. They dare not ask for anything else. As long as the child is willing to recognize them, the Ning family will be reasonable.
Speaking of Ning Qian'an, the Ning family said that when the Ning family's adoptive father was on a business trip, he saw a sack moving on the side of the road. He thought someone had put a dog in the sack, but when he untied it, he found that it was a child with a severe fever. He immediately sent him to the hospital and called the police.
The police also came to investigate, but unfortunately, technology was not advanced in that era, and the child’s family was never found.
In this situation, if no family is found within a certain period of time, the child can only be sent to an orphanage. Coincidentally, the adoptive father is frail, so the idea of adoption came into play.
Ning Qian'an had a severe fever and forgot about his family. After being taken care of by his adoptive father for a few days, he became very dependent on him and agreed to be adopted.
Xiao Yan felt a little comforted when he heard that the Ning family did not buy Ning Qian'an from human traffickers.
In addition to human traffickers, the existence of buyers will lead to a vicious cycle.
As the saying goes, human trafficking occurs only when there is demand, and Xiao Yan detests this deeply.
While Xiao Yan was talking with Ms. Sun and Ning Qian'an, Liu Deyi and Liu Guangyu went to deal with the banquet matters.
Found his son, which was a very important matter for him, not to mention that this was a banquet to announce his son's identity to the outside world, so he wanted to be thorough in all aspects.
The banquet will be held from 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and will be divided into two sessions: lunch and dinner.
But in fact, just after nine o'clock, the Liu family's relatives had already come to help. It can be seen that the Liu family has many descendants. A preliminary calculation shows that there are almost a hundred people. Fortunately, the Liu family's place is large enough.
During this period, Ms. Sun was also very busy. After all, her son had just been recognized and she needed to take him to meet his relatives. She could only apologize to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan also understood this.
He went to see Chen Zhao. This guy had forgotten his brother because he had a new friend, which made Xiao Yan feel the loss of an old father marrying off his daughter.
Without disturbing Chen Zhao and his new friend, he told them to call him on his watch if anything happened, then went to the small balcony upstairs to get some fresh air. Suddenly, he heard a sentence:
"Do you understand the Liu family? If you don't know, don't talk nonsense! Take Liu Deyi, for example. He's a relative of mine, a very close one. Why would he bring his child back? He's already so old, there's no way he'd be able to raise him well. And Liu Guangyu is really something. He's so foolishly happy that his brother was adopted. Others are coming back to fight for the family inheritance, but he's still so happy..."
As if hearing some noise, the other person turned around and turned out to be a greasy man in his thirties who was beginning to gain weight.
Seeing Xiao Yan, he closed his mouth and looked at him for a while. Realizing he didn't recognize him, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Brother, who are you? Why haven't I seen you before? Did you hear about it and sneak in?"
Xiao Yan: “…”
Is this kind of thing where someone gets slapped in the face bound to happen in a novel???
Xiao Yan looked at the man's face.
This person is lustful, has a strong sense of vanity and self-esteem, loves to lie, and is a two-faced villain.
At most, he likes to speak ill of others behind their backs and fantasize about others, but he has never done anything that is harmful to others.
Xiao Yan said with some regret: "I didn't sneak in, I was invited."
The man, self-righteously, probed, "You got an invitation? Then whose family are you from? Who is Liu Deyi to you?"
"He's not a big shot, but if you don't keep your mouth shut, you'll get into trouble soon."
The man heard the information he wanted, and after hearing what Xiao Yan said, he said with an embarrassed look on his face, "Don't tell me, you're already this old, and you still want to complain? I just said a little too much, is it necessary to make such a fuss?"
Xiao Yan: “…”
Xiao Yan was too lazy to pay attention to such people and simply pretended that they didn't exist.
The greasy man seemed to be broadcasting live. After Xiao Yan came, he restrained himself a little, found an excuse and went offline, and seemed to be talking to a friend on the phone.
"I'm not saying anything, buddy, you're so lucky! Even a beauty like this could fall for you? Bring her out to meet me someday?"
The man spoke greasy and obscene words, which seemed increasingly vulgar. Although Xiao Yan had no intention of listening, the words still pierced his ears.
Xiao Yan's mood for enjoying the scenery was ruined, and he no longer had the heart to appreciate it. He turned around and was about to leave.
The man heard the noise and turned his head to take a look. It was this turn of his head that made Xiao Yan discover something unusual.
This person's facial expression had actually changed in just a few minutes, and he looked like he was going to die! And it was an unnatural death!
Xiao Yan had seen his face before. Although this man had many problems, he was able to live to a ripe old age. How could his fate change so suddenly? And it seemed to be related to something dirty.
Under normal circumstances, Xiao Yan would not bother to pay attention to such people with bad morals. This was their retribution. But now it involved dirty things and even lives, Xiao Yan could not sit idly by.
The man noticed Xiao Yan's gaze, he hung up the phone, and said somewhat disappointedly: "Look! What are you looking at? Haven't you seen other people making phone calls?"
Xiao Yan ignored his tone and asked, "Who were you talking to on the phone just now?"
The man rolled his eyes at him. "What's it to you? My dad doesn't care as much as you do. Do you live by the sea?"
"Your face shows that you will die at 11:20 tonight. If you want to live, tell me, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
The man looked at Xiao Yan as if he was crazy: "Are you crazy? I just have a foul mouth at most, but you are so good as to curse me! You will die, I will live a long life!"
Seeing that this person didn't believe it, Xiao Yan didn't say much. After all, it's hard to persuade a short-lived person with kind words.
At this point, Xiao Yan could only remind: "I suggest you don't go out tonight."
The man was a little surprised that the other party knew that he had an appointment tonight, but after thinking about it, he thought that the phone was too loud and someone heard it. He just cursed a few times and didn't seem to care at all.
After this episode, Xiao Yan returned to the room and saw little Chen Zhao playing house games with her new friends. She was a princess, Liu Dexin was the queen, and Liu Zhengyi was a master of the imperial court. They were wrapped in bed sheets and waving toy swords. The scene was full of chaos, as if hundreds of ducks were making a fuss.
The closer it got to noon, the more people came to the Liu family. In addition to the Liu family's in-laws, these people also included business partners and even some government officials. It was obvious that the Liu family had a wide network of contacts.
Next is the Ning family, the finale.
The old man of the Ning family is already quite old this year, over eighty years old. His hair is already gray, but he is in good health and looks very kind. He is not as scary as the legend says.
Xiao Yan took a quick look and found that the old man was very long-lived. There were indeed very few people who could live to be over a hundred years old.
Liu Deyi also introduced Xiao Yan to the old man. The old man took a look and immediately pushed his reading glasses.
"My dear friend, you have done a lot of good deeds! You are truly a young man to be feared!"
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment.
Could it be that this old man is also a fellow traveler?
As if seeing Xiao Yan's confusion, the old man laughed heartily: "I have always wanted to meet you, young friend. Now I finally see you. Why? Are you surprised?"
Xiao Yan: “…”
He said that why the Ning family always had famous generals who founded the country, and even people from the Ning family were involved in the founding of the country. It turned out that they were from the same family, so this explained it.
