Chapter 68 Eloping
When the car was almost home, Qi Xing received another unexpected call. This time the caller was Lin Zhinian.
"Mr. Qi, your father just came to me and asked about us being kidnapped in the United States." Lin Zhinian said.
Qi Xing was surprised and asked, "He even asked you about this?"
Lin Zhinian explained: "I don't know where he got my phone number. I know you don't want your family to find out about this, but I heard his tone was very serious and he kept asking me questions. I couldn't resist and told him everything. I'm sorry. Your dad also asked me about my past with Ye Xingzhou, and I told him everything truthfully."
Qi Xing: “…”
After hanging up the phone, he glanced at Ye Xingzhou and said, "You'd better not go up with me."
Ye Xingzhou parked the car by the roadside: "Can't go?"
Qi Xing: “I can’t go.”
Kidnapping was already a sore spot for his parents, and if Lin Zhinian was involved, it would be even more unpleasant for his parents. If Ye Xingzhou followed him now, it would only add fuel to the fire.
"If you don't want me to go up, I won't go up yet," Ye Xingzhou reminded him, "Press the speakerphone on your phone to keep the call going, and talk to your parents nicely. Don't deliberately provoke them. If your dad hits you, get out of the way."
Qi Xing: "I know, I'm not a fool."
Ye Xingzhou: "Tell them I want to talk to them. If they agree, I will go up."
Qi Xing nodded, pushed the door and got out of the car, then paused for a moment, turned back and kissed Ye Xingzhou.
Ye Xingzhou looked at him, his eyebrows moving slightly.
Qi Xing: "Ye Xingzhou, no matter how much my parents object, I will never abandon you, don't worry."
Ten minutes later, Qi Xingshen walked into the house. His parents were there, looking unhappy, and were waiting for him in the living room.
Qi Xing frowned, thinking of what Ye Xingzhou said about not provoking them anymore, he walked forward and sat down obediently, and took the initiative to say hello: "Dad, Mom."
Qi Ronghua remained silent with a cold face. Wang Cuilan asked first, "Your uncle Li said that you were kidnapped in Las Vegas and that it was related to Ye Xingzhou. Is that true?"
Qi Xing: "You have already asked Teacher Lin, and you know the whole story, right? That's it, Ye Wanyao wanted to deal with Ye Xingzhou, so he kidnapped Teacher Lin and me. Later, Ye Xingzhou found someone to rescue us, and I'm fine."
Wang Cuilan: "Such a big thing is not a big deal? Why didn't you tell us about it before?"
Qi Xing: "I..."
Qi Ronghua interrupted in a chilling voice, "Of course he didn't dare to mention it, because how could he dare to say that Ye Xingzhou was kidnapped? I told you long ago that Ye Xingzhou is not to be touched, and that the Ye family is full of wolves and tigers, but he refused to listen. Now that something has happened, he still doesn't know how to be afraid and insists on fooling around with that man."
Qi Xing retorted: "Dad, what you said is too biased. Ye Xingzhou is also a victim when something happened. What you said is completely victim-blaming. What does this have to do with Ye Xingzhou? It's Ye Wanyao who is not a human being."
"How is it nothing to do with him? If you had stayed away from him, would you have been targeted by Ye Wanyao? Why did he kidnap you instead of others?"
"Ye Wanyao didn't target me, but Teacher Lin. I was drinking coffee with Teacher Lin at the time, and we were taken away together."
"What's the difference? Isn't he targeted because of Ye Xingzhou? Ye Xingzhou and the one from the Lin family are still unclear, but you are just being too eager and are making a fuss!"
Qi Ronghua was also being patient. Today he didn't start swearing or even hitting people like he did that day, but his disapproval of the relationship between Qi Xing and Ye Xingzhou was stronger than last time.
Wang Cuilan was probably afraid that the father and son would quarrel again, so she did not give Qi Ronghua a chance to speak and asked Qi Xing herself: "Do you know what the relationship between Ye Xingzhou and that teacher Lin is?"
Qi Xing: "We were high school classmates. We used to be good friends, but it doesn't matter anymore."
Wang Cui hesitated and said, "Are they really no longer related? Then why did everyone say they were a couple not long ago? We saw with our own eyes that Ye Xingzhou took Teacher Lin to various social occasions. It was not fake. If it weren't for this, I don't think Ye Wanyao would have set his sights on him."
Qi Xing was speechless for a moment. Ye Xingzhou was taking advantage of Lin Zhinian, but if he said it out loud, his parents would only think that Ye Xingzhou was a man with ulterior motives.
"On the one hand, he is having an unclear relationship with that kid from the Lin family, on the other hand, he is ruthlessly swallowing up their company, and at the same time, he is keeping a fool like you hanging. Only you think he is good and protect him everywhere. Aren't you afraid that he will use the same tricks on you again?" Qi Ronghua became angry again as he spoke. He really wanted to pry open his silly son's head to see what was inside.
Qi Xing: "...How can he do the same old trick again? Dad, you are not that Lin Hongfei. Can he cheat your company away from me? Besides, he got you to join the investment in the Xingneng Technology project. He made real money, right?"
Qi Ronghua choked up: "How could I be as greedy and stupid as Lin Hongfei?"
"That's it," Qi Xing said, spreading his hands. "Since Ye Xingzhou can't get any benefit from me, how could he be with me for any bad intentions? You're just overthinking it."
Wang Cuilan: "Then maybe he was just playing around? You also said that he had a really good relationship with Teacher Lin before, but you didn't care about their past relationship at all and didn't care if he lived or died. What if he treated you like this in the future?"
"Mom," Qi Xing was helpless, "In that situation, Ye Xingzhou knew that Ye Wanyao would plant a bomb. Would he let me be tied with a bomb by Ye Wanyao just because of our old friendship?"
Wang Cuilan immediately said: "Of course not!"
Qi Xing: "Ye Xingzhou chose me, you think he is cold-blooded and ruthless, and you suspect he will treat me the same way in the future. If Ye Xingzhou chooses someone else, you will hate him even more, because then everything he does will be wrong in your eyes. Moreover, he knew there was a bomb, but he still risked his life before Ye Wanyao released me. Isn't that enough? How many people would be willing to risk their lives to save others? Even if he really changes his mind in the future, at least at that time, he was really wholeheartedly for me, so why can't I be wholeheartedly for him?"
Wang Cuilan seemed to be shaken by what he said and gently pushed Qi Ronghua beside her, but Qi Ronghua still had a sullen face and didn't buy it at all: "It's useless for him to be so devoted. He is too dangerous and troublesome. He has offended many people. Who knows if there is another Ye Wanyao around him."
"Dad, you were so barbaric back then. I was kidnapped because of you. It was Grandpa Gan who sent people to find me. Should I sever my father-son relationship with you? Do you think you can be reasonable?"
"You little bastard, do you have any conscience? I am your father and will be your father for life. I will not protect you now and then stop protecting you in the future. Can he? Even if he swears, it will not count. If he changes his mind once, he will change his mind a second time. When he changes his mind, you will be the second Lin family kid! That kid was almost blown into a pulp!"
"Then maybe one day I'll kick him first? Why is it that he's the only one who can change his mind but I can't?"
"If you really have this ability, you wouldn't run away with him just by his finger. I don't know you yet, but it's engraved on your forehead that you can't live without him."
Qi Xing was stunned. His father actually thought that he couldn't survive without Ye Xingzhou? What did he do to give his father such an illusion?
"How could I..."
"Do you know clearly in your heart, huh?"
"You said I couldn't live without him, and you still opposed everything we did. What if I really couldn't live?"
Qi Ronghua also wanted to take off his shoes and beat the damn boy, but Wang Cuilan glanced at him and he held back with a grunt.
Wang Cuilan was worried: "Son, do you really have to be with Ye Xingzhou? Why don't you take another look? I've found these days that there are many outstanding boys who graduated from famous universities in your father's company. They are all very capable and good-looking. Even if you don't like your uncle Li's son, you can take a look at others first, right?"
Qi Xing: "Mom, Dad runs a legitimate company, not a brothel."
Qi Ronghua couldn't help it and threw the slippers in his hand over, but Qi Xing dodged quickly.
"Anyway, I said no and it means no. If you still recognize me and your mother, go and take off your clothes with him immediately. I will not agree to your request. Either me or him!"
Qi Xing: "Dad, why do you have to choose between you and him? You can't just give him a huge check and send him away like they do in the TV dramas. Will he fall for it?" Y. U. X. I.
Unless his father compensated Ye Xingzhou with all Ronghua Capital, with Ye Xingzhou's personality, he would definitely accept it with a smile and refuse to leave.
He raised his hand so his parents could see it clearly: "Uncle Li should have told you that Ye Xingzhou and I registered our marriage there, right? This is the wedding ring. Didn't you say last time that we couldn't get married? But we are already married."
The plain ring didn't sparkle at all, but it still blinded Qi Ronghua's eyes: "It's useless for you to get married over there. It's not legal in China, and I won't recognize it!"
Qi Xing completely forgot about the idea of not provoking his father and said whatever came to his mind: "It's illegal in China, but the company under my name has just been listed there. We didn't do a notarization of our pre-marital property, so if we really want to file for a divorce there, we probably still have a way to go."
Qi Ronghua's face turned green when he heard this: "You damn boy! Do you know how much that company is worth now?! Is there anyone who would pay for it like you?!"
Qi Xing: "Ye's also has a branch there, and Ye Xingzhou has just reached an agreement with someone to expand their company's investment business there. I shouldn't suffer any loss."
Qi Ronghua finally managed to take a breath and said, "No, you have to divorce him even if you file a lawsuit!"
Qi Xing: "I would rather destroy a temple than a marriage..."
Qi Ronghua's second slipper was also thrown over.
Half an hour later, Qi Xing returned to his room and sent a message to Ye Xingzhou: "Why don't you go back first? My dad is sitting at the door with a feather duster in his arms and he won't let me out again."
Ye Xingzhou: "You should rest early."
Qi Xing put down his phone, still feeling a little depressed.
Wang Cuilan came in, closed the door, sat down and asked him, "Your father is not here now, tell me, have you really decided on that Ye Xingzhou?"
Qi Xing: "Mom, grandpa also said that Dad was always causing trouble outside, had a rude personality and was not a good person. He didn't have a proper job, and he was determined not to let you be with him. Didn't you still marry him? Do you regret it now? Besides, I'm not a girl. I don't need him to be responsible for me, nor do I need him to protect me unilaterally. I'm an adult, and I will be responsible for myself."
Wang Cuilan: "Are you really not afraid that he will change his mind? Aren't you worried that he will hurt you?"
Qi Xing thought for a moment: "...I think he is more worried that I will change my mind."
Wang Cuilan was silent for a moment: "I understand."
"Mom, don't worry. If you can live well, then I can definitely live well too. I will never let myself suffer any loss." Qi Xing said in a cheerful tone.
Wang Cuilan understands her son. This kid has always been an optimistic person since he was young. He was like that back then and he is still like that now. It is actually them, as parents, who are always looking ahead and behind.
"You know your father's temper. He is doing this for your own good. Don't always get angry with him, and don't always say those things to upset him."
Qi Xing: "If you don't want to talk, then don't talk. Ye Xingzhou wants to come up and talk to him, is that ok?"
Wang Cuilan: "Next time, he's already furious when he sees you guys, and he's also angry that Ye Xingzhou didn't give him face last time, you should let him take his time."
Qi Xing snorted: "That's because Dad is unreasonable and starts beating people as soon as he comes."
After Wang Cuilan left, Qi Xing got up and went outside to get some water. His father was still sitting at the entrance, holding a feather duster in his hand, with his eyes closed, resting, motionless.
Qi Xing was speechless. When Qi Ronghua heard the noise, he opened his eyes and glared at him. He immediately turned around and went to the restaurant.
Just keep guarding it, can you stay up all night?
Not realizing his father's good intentions at all, Qi Xing went back to his room and fell asleep immediately until he was woken up by the alarm clock at two in the morning.
He got up in the dark and went out. From the entrance came the sound of Qi Ronghua's even and regular snoring. Qi Xing walked over on tiptoe. His father's feather duster was still in his arms, but he was asleep.
After leaving the house, he went downstairs immediately. As expected, Ye Xingzhou's car was still parked there.
Qi Xing opened the car door and got in. Ye Xingzhou opened his eyes and looked at him.
"Let's go, Ye Xingzhou."
Ye Xingzhou half-lying in the seat, watching him without moving. Qi Xing had just fastened his seat belt, looked up and met his gaze, thought for a moment, unbuckled his seat belt, leaned over, propped one hand on the side of Ye Xingzhou's seat, and laughed softly: "Why are you staring at me all the time?"
Ye Xingzhou's gaze stopped at the side of his face, where there was a rather obvious red mark: "Face."
Qi Xing raised his hand and touched the place he was staring at: "It wasn't my dad who beat me, it was caused by me pressing down while sleeping."
Ye Xingzhou also reached out and rubbed it gently: "Why don't you sleep well at home?"
"I'm sleeping at home, so you have to sit here all night, right?" Qi Xing said casually.
Of course he knew what Ye Xingzhou meant. It would be best for him to just stay at home and wait for his father to calm down, but he was not that kind of person.
"Besides, I don't know you yet." Qi Xing grabbed his tie and twisted it between his fingers. "If I really listened to my dad, you would come to my house to rob me."
Ye Xingzhou said "hmm" lightly, straightened his seat, and started the car: "I'll take you to see my mother, do you want to go?"
Qi Xing: "Now?"
Ye Xingzhou: "Are you going or not?"
Qi Xing laughed again: "Ye Xingzhou, is this considered elopement?"
"Elopement is not a good word, don't say it casually." Ye Xingzhou reminded him.
Qi Xing said "Oh", said "Call me when we get there", sat back in his chair, closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.
Ye Xingzhou drove a short distance and pulled over, took a blanket from the back seat and covered him with it, then sent a message to Mr. Chen.
"I'm taking Qi Xing out to relax for two days. Please let Uncle Qi and the others know. When we come back, please help me ask Uncle Qi and the others out. I'll tell them in person about Qi Xing and I."
Qi Xing turned over in his sleep and mumbled "Ye Xingzhou" with a smile on his face. No one knew what kind of beautiful dream he had.
Ye Xingzhou looked at him quietly for a moment and started the car again.
