Upon hearing this, Lin's mother was speechless.
At first, we spent money to send him to etiquette classes, but it didn't work. The teacher called him home, but Chen Xu only half listened and half ignored her. After the course, his personality remained the same.
Lin's mother was also angry, but she felt more heartache and guilt.
Chen Xu was clueless, so Lin's mother didn't dare take him to any high-class banquets. It would be embarrassing, and they would be ridiculed by the entire circle.
After struggling for a while, he finally managed to utter, "Eat."
Nan Yu sat quietly eating his meal in the restaurant. Chen Xu knew that he was allergic to alcohol. Whether it was to test him or just for fun, he asked someone to open a bottle of red wine and deliberately waved it in front of him. Nan Yu lowered his head and didn't dare to look.
Lin's mother frowned: "Don't shake him. Xiao Xun can't stand it. Do you want him to faint again?"
Subconsciously, Lin's mother still felt sorry for Nan Yu.
But she couldn't overcome blood ties.
Whenever he thinks about the son he has loved for more than ten years who is not his biological son, while his own biological son has suffered for more than ten years in his place and has been raised to be the way he is by his parents, he can't help but feel angry.
Chen Xu: "This is my home, can't I even have a drink? If he can't see it, then he can't see it."
Lin's mother suppressed her temper and tried her best to show Chen Xu her gentle side, forcing a smile: "I didn't say no. Xiao Xun is still on the table. If you want to drink in the future, just say so in advance and let Xiao Xun eat at the small restaurant."
The villa has many rooms, and there is more than one living room and dining room.
"cut."
He swirled the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Nan Yu tightened his grip on his chopsticks. After finishing his meal, he tried to leave, but Chen Xu blocked his way, deliberately waving a bottle of wine in front of him. Chen Xu pushed the lamp wick away, looking displeased.
Chen Xu simply pulled off the bottle cap.
The smell of alcohol was overwhelming, and Nan Yu couldn't hold on any longer; she fainted the next second.
Chen Xu took two steps back, looked at the unconscious person, and then at the wine in his hand. Was it really that amazing?
interesting.
I walked over and kicked Dengxin's calf to confirm that she was unconscious.
He left with a cold laugh.
He also instructed the steward and the servants not to help him up, but to let him sleep there, and anyone who disobeyed should be fired. Nan Yu was unconscious from noon until Lin's father returned.
Lin's mother handed the briefcase to the maid.
The housekeeper quickly told Mr. Lin about Nan Yu lying in the corner of the living room. Mr. Lin also doted on his son. When he learned the reason, he couldn't help but get angry. This child has caused so much trouble since he came back.
Where did he go?
Butler: "Young Master Xu is still outside."
Lin's father: "Call him back and let the doctor check if Xiaoxun is alright."
Nan Yu has hidden shares held by his grandfather before his death. If he passes away before reaching the legal age, all the shares will be donated to charity. No matter the reason, people must live well.
Alcohol allergy can cause shock.
But if that child were to force Xiao Xun to drink alcohol one day, it would be too late if something went wrong.
Just like yesterday, I simply fell asleep drunk.
Chen Xu, however, was given a good scolding by Lin's father.
Chen Xu is stubborn and doesn't respond well to gentle persuasion. He finds Lin's mother easy to manipulate and more capricious in her actions and words, but he can't control Lin's father; he's a bit timid in that regard.
In the study, he promised to behave himself and also made a confession.
In fact, they didn't take it seriously at all.
Lin's father will go to work tomorrow; he'll be the same way he is today.
The next day, Lin's father was not home, and Lin's mother had arranged to have tea with a wealthy woman.
Chen Xu then teased Nan Yu with wine.
He was unconscious, so she splashed water on him to wake him up, and then showed him the trick again. She did this seven or eight times until he got tired of it. This time, Nan Yu got really angry and, after being splashed awake, beat up Chen Xu.
He had studied judo and martial arts. If they really fought, Chen Xu would definitely be at a disadvantage if he only relied on brute force. But he was too petty; when he couldn't beat him, he would throw wine in his face.
Upon smelling the alcohol and having it come into contact with her skin, her cheeks flushed, and she collapsed weakly, soon developing a rash all over her body.
Seeing that he was powerless to resist, Chen Xu immediately beat him back.
In the end, it was the servants who pulled them apart.
Otherwise, who knows what would have happened.
A rash appeared, and that was no joke. The house was in complete chaos. Chen Xu didn't take it seriously at all. When Lin's father found out, he slapped Chen Xu and yelled, "Nonsense!"
Lin's mother stopped her, saying, "Alright, the child is young and doesn't understand. We'll teach him slowly."
Lin's father said, "He's treating Xiaoxun's allergies like a game. He's nineteen! He's an adult! If something happens, he could even face criminal charges!"
Lin's mother said, "Xiao Xu was wrong in this matter, but we can't blame him entirely. Given that family environment, it's already good that Xiao Xu didn't kill or set fires. Once Xiao Xun wakes up, let Xiao Xu apologize, and this matter will be over."
"You make it sound so easy! When has he ever listened to you?"
Chen Xu didn't dare to say a word. He had only splashed some wine on his face, yet he had developed a rash all over his body. This allergic reaction was just too outrageous.
During the emergency treatment, two critical condition notices were issued.
It looks rather scary.
Fortunately, he was eventually saved.
I spent two days in the ICU and was then transferred to a regular ward.
Nan Yu still had a bruise on her cheek, which she got from fighting with Chen Xu earlier. Lin's father was furious and wanted to teach Chen Xu a lesson.
Lin's mother intervened: "Shaoxun, Xiaoxu is our son. Whose fault is this? It's all that couple's fault. If they hadn't been in such a hurry to leave and had switched the babies, would our Xiaoxu have suffered so much?"
Chen Xu chimed in, "Exactly! You have no idea what kind of life I lived before. I had seven older sisters, and when it came to the good food, there wasn't even a scrap left. Lin Xun, on the other hand, lived a life of luxury at home, while I had to scrape together my school fees. I've never had a good life since I was a child. If I had the same upbringing as him, I would definitely be better off than him!"
Chen Xu is talking complete nonsense; he's even more of a prince than Nan Yu.
The Chen family always gave him the best food first.
Unless it's a life-threatening situation.
Otherwise, satisfy all the requests you can.
If he doesn't do well in school, he can continue studying if he wants to, even if it means selling our possessions. If he doesn't want to study, we'll agree to let him drop out.
Chen Xu had been away from home for half a year before, but he found the work too tiring and preferred to stay at home. Later, he felt that staying at home for too long would prevent him from meeting girls, so he went back to school and started dating every day.
Lin's mother couldn't bear to hear about his past suffering.
They stopped Lin's father from doing anything reckless.
In the blink of an eye, Nan Yu was discharged from the hospital.
Lin's mother came to visit once, and she still told him not to go against Chen Xu. Nan Yu was tired and didn't want to talk to anyone, so he angered Lin's mother.
No one picked me up after I was discharged from the hospital.
After changing his clothes, Dengxin didn't want to go home and wandered around outside. At night, he felt like a rootless duckweed with nowhere to go. He watched the aunties dancing in the park and saw that they had all packed up their speakers and gone home.
He was left sitting there all alone.
Thinking of the tavern, I didn't contact Wen Zhuo in advance and just wandered over there like a lost soul. It had been eleven or twelve days since I last met him. I had been in the hospital for more than ten days, and my facial injury was almost healed.
There were still faint blue marks at the corners of his mouth.
Not obvious.
Upon arriving at the bar, Wen Zhuo saw him, handed the previous customer's drink to them, and greeted Nan Yu, saying, "Long time no see."
The lamp wick passed by, and he gave a slight smile: "Long time no see."
He spoke weakly and listlessly, and seemed completely exhausted.
Wen Zhuo frowned slightly, then smiled and asked, "Have you had dinner?"
Nan Yu shook his head; he hadn't even eaten lunch.
Sitting on a high stool, he seemed to have no bones, leaning towards the bar. People passing by reminded him that this was a public area and that it didn't seem right to do this, so he forced himself to get up, no longer wanting to drink.
Q: "Do you sell food?"
Wen Zhuo: "There's dessert."
Nan Yu: "Then one, please."
Wen Zhuo took off his apron and went out through the hidden door. Nan Yu thought he was getting her some dessert, so she didn't move. Her eyes gradually became unfocused, and her face turned red. The tavern smelled strongly of alcohol, and it seemed he was about to faint.
Wen Zhuo bought a dinner.
When he got back, he saw Nan Yu grinning foolishly at him, looking almost like he was drunk. He glanced around and saw no alcohol.
Last time was the same. He came in perfectly fine, but after smelling the alcohol twice, he started swaying as he walked. Was he drunk? Dengxin was sleepy again. He got off the high stool, lost his footing, and stumbled forward.
Just as she was about to fall, Wen Zhuo scooped her up with all his might, instantly attracting a lot of attention. Everyone was quite surprised as Nan Yu nestled against the man's broad chest, as if they had met before.
The thought of that figure from her memory overwhelmed her with resentment, and she buried her face in the man's chest, sobbing uncontrollably.
Wen Zhuo was stunned, and his heart inexplicably clenched.
He wasn't sure if he was feeling sorry for himself, but he was definitely not feeling well. He had lost a lot of weight and looked very haggard in the ten days since they last met. What had happened?
A beautiful woman with long, wavy hair approached, carrying a glass of wine. Her slender fingers swayed as she moved with captivating grace, and she smiled slightly as she reached Wen Zhuo's side.
"Mr. Wen, you're very kind today. Would you do me the honor of having a drink?"
Wen Zhuo frowned, then quickly smiled, though his eyes remained fixed: "This is my little cousin. He's in trouble, please excuse me."
He nodded slightly and left with the lamp wick.
The beautiful woman felt a little better; it turned out to be her younger cousin.
Wen Zhuo led the man to the lounge, opened the window for ventilation, and Nan Yu woke up. Actually, he was holding the man and smelled the cool woody scent on him, which had already woken him up.
Wen Zhuo poured a basin of hot water into it for him, then added some cold water.
I took a towel, wet it, and wiped his face.
After wiping himself, Nan Yu scratched the back of his head and said shyly, "Excuse me, you look a bit like an old friend of mine."
Wen Zhuo smiled reassuringly: "Really? That's an honor. If you miss that old friend, you can come anytime." Remembering the dinner she had bought, she said, "By the way, you haven't eaten. Have something to warm your stomach. Desserts are only suitable for after a meal. If you still have room after dinner, I'll treat you."
Nan Yu felt that every time she came, she was just causing trouble for the other party.
She lowered her head and transferred all four hundred yuan she had in her phone to him.
Wen Zhuo smiled: "Giving me money means you don't want to be my friend?"
Nan Yu stared at him, and seeing that he wasn't angry, she shook her head: "I'm afraid you won't welcome me next time."
Wen Zhuo returned the money, saying, "No, I really want to be your friend. How could I not welcome you?"
The bar lighting was dim, making it difficult to see Nan Yu's facial injury clearly. It wasn't until he was taken to the small room that it became apparent that he had a cut on the corner of his mouth. A nameless anger surged within me, and I tried to ask in a gentle voice:
"You got into a fight?"
The other person's gentleness broke down Deng Xin's psychological defenses. His eyes stung, and the steamed bun tasted like wax in his mouth. Seeing that he was about to cry, Wen Zhuo quickly shut up and said:
"I'll go out first, you eat, and send me a message when you're done."
