"You... don't object to us?"
Xun Yuming's ears are redder than a ripe guava, and he doesn't know what's going on with him, probably because he's too excited, his hands are trembling, and when he gets up, the tables, chairs, cups and plates clank and clatter. "There was a noise.
Before going to Grandpa's house, Zhuang Yi only said that they were friends. When he operated on Qin Xueyan earlier, Zhuang Yi explained that they were classmates. Although they had been vaguely flirting with each other in front of the parents, they never made it clear.
Xun Yuming did not expect that Zhuang Yi's parents recognized him so quickly.
"Why do you object?" Zhuang Muduo frowned, not understanding his logic, "This is your life, as long as you are happy, what right do we have to interfere? We believe in your vision, and we also believe that you have the ability to fight for your own. Responsible for mistakes. As such, there is nothing to object to."
"You..." Xun Yuming didn't know what to say, Zhuang Yi's father's words moved him, and made him feel an unprecedented warmth, like a displaced person who was finally accepted by his family, so he could only speak at a loss.
Zhuang Yi held a crab shell in his hand, which was originally intended to be peeled for him, but at this moment it was just used to cover up his embarrassment.
He lowered his head, with a slight smile on his lips, his slightly red eyes fell on the wine glass in front of him, but he stared at Xun Yuming from the corner of his eye, to see how he would react.
"Uncle... oh no." Xun Yuming made a mistake, his face flushed with anxiety, "I mean, um... Dad."
He has never had a father in his life, and these two words are extremely difficult to pronounce, as heavy as an olive in his mouth.
Zhuang Muduo smiled, nodded and agreed: "Yeah. Sit down, don't always stand, be more casual."
Xun Yuming's heart beat violently, his figure swayed, he took a step back, and bowed ninety degrees to Qin Xueyan and Zhuang Muduo, "Dad, Mom, thank you for giving me Zhuang Yi, I... I must be very fond of him it is good."
"You have always been very kind to him, we all know that." Qin Xueyan was serious and looked like an elder, with a gentle and loving smile on his face, "Sit down quickly, don't make it so formal, I'm embarrassed."
"Don't scare him, he has a thin skin." Zhuang Yi stood up, moved the chair for him, and dragged him back.
"No, no." Afraid of being disrespectful to Zhuang Yi's parents, Xun Yuming hurriedly retorted: "I'm not thin-skinned, so I can't be scared."
Zhuang Muduo and Qin Xueyan looked at each other, and smiled at the same time, "Obviously, we have something for you."
"What?" Xun Yuming was startled.
Qin Xueyan patted Zhuang Man: "Go to your father's study and bring that document."
"Oh." Zhuang Man put down his chopsticks and was about to go over.
Zhuang Yi stepped forward and said, "I'll go."
Xun Yuming waited anxiously, seeing him striding forward into the study with long legs, and coming out with his pockets in his right hand after a while, with a black folder in his right hand.
Zhuang Yi handed it to Zhuang Muduo, and Zhuang Muduo handed it to Xun Yuming, "This is a gift from us, I hope it can be of some help to you."
"Thank you... Dad." Xun Yuming opened it and looked, "Oh my god!" He exclaimed and subconsciously covered his mouth.
"What?" Zhuang Yi looked over and couldn't help being surprised, "This is...?"
On the top are two color-printed photos. The first one is a scene where Angus is handcuffed and pushed into a police car by the police. Under the high-definition camera, the face of the character is clearly visible.
The second one is an indecent photo of Angus and a blonde woman. He has gray hair, but the other is in full bloom. The action scenes are unsightly.
Xun Yuming was so shocked that he couldn't speak, only heard a silent loud noise, and the last image of Angus in his mind collapsed with the strong impact of the picture in front of him.
Turning over the photo, below is a copy of a Minnesota court file, which clearly records that Angus and ANG Lab were sued in court five years ago for issuing a false paternity test report.
They and the parties reached an out-of-court settlement. Angus's Angel Lab and his son's ANG Lab jointly compensated the other party for $450,000. As a condition, the other party signed a sealing agreement.
"I think this should be able to help you defeat the evil dragon, right?" Zhuang Muduo smiled, and there was an unfathomable light in his eyes, which was a layer of patina plated on the soul after a long time.
Xun Yuming is very familiar with him, Zhuang Yi looks at him day after day, and gradually, he also has this vision.
"This picture is enough to make him notorious."
Angus has always been a perfect person in the public eye. He has outstanding medical ethics, is enthusiastic about public welfare, loves his family, and supports the younger generation. Bai Bi still has slight flaws, but he seems to be flawless.
Liang Shuo's investigators investigated for several days, but they didn't catch any clues. They were worried about the lack of evidence, and this document was like the timely rain after a long drought, and it just came in handy.
"However." Zhuang Yi still has another worry, "Since the person who sued them signed a non-disclosure agreement last time, he will not be able to testify. It is not certain whether this file can be made public as evidence."
"It doesn't matter." Zhuang Muduo said with a smile, "a few years ago he was arrested for recruiting... Although the news was publicized afterwards, his wife filed for divorce from him because of this incident, and even went to court."
"His wife took the case of his compensation as evidence and submitted it to the court in order to share more property. Although they did not divorce later, traces have been left in the court files."
That is to say, the copy in Xun Yuming's hand is not the file of the compensation case five years ago, but the file of Angus' divorce case, which cannot be bound by the confidentiality agreement.
"That's great." Zhuang Yi squeezed Xun Yuming's shoulder and smiled at him, "I'll give it to Liang Shuo when I get back, it will definitely be useful."
This wave of information was unimaginable, and Xun Yuming felt dizzy. Angus is such a respected person in front of others, but who would have thought that he would be so shameless behind the scenes.
Mrs. Angus was the kindest and kindest person who cared for him at the beginning, but when she started a divorce lawsuit, she also fought for property and lost all dignity.
In the face of interests, how many layers of masks can people tear off, and how unbearable they can be.
Xun Yuming couldn't help feeling nauseous, and hurriedly drank red wine to suppress it, "Thank you, Mom and Dad, you are so kind to me."
"A family should help each other, you're welcome." Zhuang Muduo smiled and motioned everyone to eat quickly, "Try this baked crab, Uncle Zhuang Yi sent it a few days ago."
In front of him was a small pot of orange-red crabs, all of them baring their teeth and claws. Xun Yuming suddenly remembered that he was behind in the score, so he gave one to Zhuang Yi to peel.
After eating, he went to wash his hands full of crab smell, Zhuang Yi refused to go to the other bathrooms, and insisted on squeezing a room with him.
"It's not good for your parents to see." Xun Yuming couldn't push him, so he could only tolerate it, "Can I add ten points just now?"
"Yes, but I have to add fifteen points." Zhuang Yi stood in front of the white porcelain pool, rubbing the bubbles on his fingers and looking at him, "I also performed well, and I peeled more crabs."
If he adds more points, even if I add points, I still can't compare with him, "I quit!"
He always speaks out loud and the game is not fair at all.
"Okay." Zhuang Yi was not angry, and said slowly: "Then write me an application for abandoning the game, just say, you don't want to continue the game, you decide to give up halfway, and you are responsible for the consequences."
"Is it necessary?" Xun Yuming was annoyed and funny, "It's just a game, and you're taking it too seriously."
"You don't take it seriously? It's just deducting points. Why are you so angry?"
Xun Yuming is very concerned about the results. He pays attention to all the competitions he participates in, ranging from the competition for the Field Award to the outcome of a poker game.
His nature made him competitive and unwilling to admit defeat, but it also endowed him with an upright and unyielding quality, and because of this, the matter of winning the prize made him so painful.
Competitiveness is like a severe whip, and he is the horse that is afraid of pain, driven by the inner desire to keep running forward, even if he is exhausted, he will not lag behind.
Zhuang Yi knew in his heart that letting him admit that he was a quitter would be more uncomfortable than Ling Chi, "I have worked so hard and put in time and energy, and if you say I won't do it, I won't do it, don't I need comfort too?"
"You are always right!" He wiped his hands, slammed the door and went out.
Zhuang Yi picked up the towel he threw on the sink, and sniffed it at the tip of his nose. It also smelled like hand sanitizer, but his had a milky scent.
Zhuang Yi pushed the door out, went to Qin Xueyan's room and knocked on the door, "Are you free, Teacher Qin?"
His mother used to be a university teacher. Zhuang Yi grew up with his grandparents, and he seldom met her, so he was more used to calling her Mr. Qin.
Qin Xueyan was sitting in front of the makeup table picking out a brooch, picked up a green leaf inlaid with pearls, and gestured on the skirt, "Does it look good?"
"That's good." Zhuang Yi pointed to another sapphire tassel, "The sapphire blue complements your skin tone."
"That's it, you have a good eye." Qin Xueyan closed the black velvet box and asked him, "What's the matter?"
"Do you have the shopping card from the Sanmending shopping mall?" Zhuang Yi turned on the phone and transferred money to her, "Give me two 5,000 cards, and I will give them away."
Qin Xueyan opened the drawer, took out two golden cards and gave them to him: "Why don't you buy them yourself?"
"Use it in a hurry, I can't buy it in time." Zhuang Yi picked it up and looked at it. It should be similar to what Xun Yuming bought, "How is your wound recently?"
"It's healed, and there's nothing wrong with it." As soon as Qin Xueyan mentioned his surgery, he couldn't help but praise Xun Yuming: "It's obviously great."
"He is very powerful." Zhuang Yi smiled, but he couldn't help worrying in his heart, but behind this great power, there were dangers everywhere.
Qin Xueyan put on a brooch and dragged him out to play mahjong. They stayed at home all afternoon and left after eating late.
On the way back, Xun Yuming kept holding the folder in a daze, his usually expressionless face had a smile on it today.
"Are you happy?" Zhuang Yi looked back at him.
"Well, happy."
"Are you still wronged about the shopping card?"
"I forgot, but you reminded me again." Xun Yuming frowned and said, "Go home and look for it, you will deduct ten points!"
"I remind you to look for the card, why not add points and deduct points?" Zhuang Yi drove the car and said, "I think you should lose 20 points if you lose the card."
"I—" Xun Yuming was speechless, "Anyway, I can't beat you."
"This is not a game, obviously." Zhuang Yi drove the car into the garage, put on the handbrake, and went down to open the door for him.
Xun Yuming ignored him, jumped out of the car by himself, and ran upstairs in two or three steps.
Zhuang Yi checked the security around and went to the bedroom to look for him, "I haven't finished talking yet. If you don't listen, are you refusing to communicate?"
If you refuse to communicate, you will lose points.
Xun Yuming lifted the carpet and was lying on the ground looking under the bed, where there was Ka's shadow. He was impatient in his heart, and Zhuang Yi came to list his reasons for reducing points. Xun Yuming was very irritable, picked up the pillow at the head of the bed, and threw it at him forcefully, "Points are deducted, points are deducted, you know how to deduct points! You know how to bully me!"
The pillow hit his stomach and fell to the floor, looking aggrieved.
Zhuang Yi picked it up and put it back to the original place, went to pull the awkward Xun Yuming into his arms, scratched his puffy face with his index finger, and coaxed him with a slight smile: "Why are you still in a hurry? You have a good temper recently Ah, the emotions come when you say it."
"It's not that you bully me all the time." Xun Yuming frowned and didn't look at him. He also felt that he had gone too far, regretted but was embarrassed to admit it. "I don't do anything wrong, all points are deducted, and you only add points."
"Then you know, if you lose, how will I punish you?" Zhuang Yi hugged him and let him sit on his lap, with his forehead against his temple, rubbing each other's hearts itchy.
Xun Yuming softened his tone and asked, "What is it?" He only knew that the reward for winning was good.
"I want to punish you and accompany me on a long trip." Zhuang Yi wrapped his arms around his waist, held his hand, and said with a smile, "Go visit my grandmother."
"...Ah?" Xun Yuming was taken aback, "Going to London?"
Zhuang Yi said "hmm" and stroked his chestnut brown hair, "I was afraid you would be nervous, so I didn't tell you. It's nothing to see my parents and grandpa. But my grandmother..."
"when to go?"
"Christmas." Zhuang Yi sighed, "There is still more than a month."
"Just tell me no." Xun Yuming wrapped his arms around his neck and said, leaning on his shoulder, "They are so important to you, of course I will go."
"Aren't I afraid that you will be burdened psychologically?"
"If you use this to punish me, I will be even more burdened." Xun Yuming poked his heart, "Are you a fool?"
Zhuang Yi hooked the corner of his mouth, grabbed his finger, put it on his lips and kissed it, "Yeah, I'm so stupid."
In fact, the original intention of the scoring competition was to force him to make changes for psychological treatment, but Zhuang Yi couldn't say it directly, so he prevaricated with the reason of looking at his grandmother.
Xun Yuming lazily leaned against him, recalled the two cards, and became annoyed again: "Maybe I really lost it, it's not anywhere. I'll go to the laboratory tomorrow to check."
"No need." Zhuang Yi took out two cards from Qin Xueyan and gave them to him: "Look, isn't this here?"
Xun Yuming's eyes lit up, instantly like watered flowers, branches and leaves sprang up: "When did you find it? Where did you find it?"
"It's in your pocket." Zhuang Yi forgot to throw the card in a corner in advance, and he found out again, now he has to lie.
Xun Yuming frowned and said, "That's not right, I also looked for the clothes, and I didn't have any."
"I... put it away in advance." Zhuang Yi couldn't get off the tiger, so he could only take the blame, "I lied to you on purpose."
"What did you say?" Xun Yuming stood up, staring and shouting: "You deduct fifty points!"
The author has something to say: There is a foreshadowing about the character, please stay calm.
