[52]
Chi Qiu's biological father did not marry Chi Lanyan, and his leaving without saying goodbye made Chi Lanyan very sad. The lingering warmth after the passionate love was still strong, which made the young Chi Lanyan reluctant to kill the child in her stomach, and thus Chi Qiu was born.
It was the first time Lu Ming heard Chi Qiu mention his biological father, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was also the first time he had been in Chi Qiu's bedroom for such a long time.
The desk in front of him was neat and tidy, and the things on it were similar to those of junior high school students. The only difference, I am afraid, is that other people's desks are filled with printed textbooks, while those on Chi Qiu's desk are braille textbooks.
Lu Ming closed the book in his hand, he didn't feel much about the story.
Perhaps it's because this is just a fairy tale, Lu Ming doesn't have too many thoughts to say about what the protagonist in the story has experienced.
Facing Chi Qiu's expectant expression, he organized his words briefly in his mind and praised Chi Qiu.
His tone was flat. If these words were said by others, they would definitely be regarded as perfunctory by Chi Qiu. But Lu Ming had obstacles in the relationship, and his indifference became the norm in the daily communication between the two.
Chi Qiu listened carefully to Lu Ming's praise for the story, and pursed his lips happily.
Dinner is still eaten at Chi's house. At the table, Chi Lanyan deliberately reduced the number of times he picks up vegetables for Chi Qiu. Then, as she wished, she saw Lu Ming taking care of Chi Qiu habitually.
As far as she is concerned, when Lu Ming's emotional apathy will recover is no longer a matter of urgency. Since Chi Qiu likes Lu Ming wholeheartedly and wants to be with Lu Ming, as long as Lu Ming treats Chi Qiu well and takes care of Chi Qiu, she has nothing to worry about.
After all, Chi Qiu couldn't see it, the indifference shown on his face by emotional apathy, it wouldn't penetrate Chi Qiu's heart.
Chi Lanyan's tone towards Lu Ming improved a lot, and then he talked about some company matters.
As an elder, Chi Lanyan has managed the company alone for so long, so he is quite experienced. She gave Lu Ming random suggestions, which benefited Lu Ming a lot.
Before leaving, she prepared some jasmine tea from home for them to take.
"In the future, I will bump into each other, and I will tell my mother, you know?" Chi Lanyan remembers the scar on Chi Qiu's hand, and after saying it twice, she touched Chi Qiu's ear, knowing that his son is sensible , "You, come back if you want to go home, don't worry about anything, this is your home."
"Got it, Mom."
The drive between Lu's villa and Chi's house is not short. They are located on both sides of a city, and it takes an hour and a half to drive.
Lu Ming picked up the jasmine tea in Chi Lanyan's hand, and said politely, "Mom, come and sit with us when you are free."
"Okay, Lu Ming, drive slowly and pay attention to safety." Chi Lanyan smiled, seeing that it was getting late, she reluctantly "chucked away the passengers".
She turned around and opened the door, and met Lin Yuming who had just come home.
As a junior, Lu Ming was the first to say hello. Lin Yuming nodded slightly, looked away, and replied calmly: "Hello."
Lu Ming was not surprised by the other party's attitude at all. He took Chi Qiu into the car. When he was about to leave the villa, he heard Chi Qiu say: "I forgot to tell Mom about meeting Aunt Luo. She contacted me a few days ago and said she wanted to invite Mom and me to dinner the day after tomorrow. Lu Ming, you Wait me a moment."
Chi Qiu got out of the car with his guide stick, and Lu Ming followed closely, holding Chi Qiu's hand: "Be careful, I'll accompany you there."
"Hmm!" Chi Qiu's tone was cheerful.
Today, Chi Lanyan's change of mind towards Lu Ming has already made Chi Qiu very happy, and now facing Lu Ming's thoughtfulness, Chi Qiu is even more happy.
As a result, when he reached the door, Lin Yuming's loud disgusting words fell into Chi Qiu's ears firmly, and made Lu Ming stop.
In a panic, Chi Qiu almost forgot that he was pretending to be blind. He staggered, grabbed Lu Ming's arm, and pulled Lu Ming out for a few steps.
And the guide stick in his hand fell to the ground, making an astonishing sound.
A few minutes ago, inside the house.
Chi Lanyan sat on the sofa with a sullen face, and said in a cold voice: "Usually I don't care what you think. But today is the day when Xiaoqiu and Lu Ming come back for dinner together. Why do you leave a seat on the table empty?" mean?"
"Chi Qiu is not my son, and I have no obligation to be his father. It's not the first day that the young master of the Lu family knows him. No one knows that I am Chi Qiu's stepfather."
If it was Chi Xia who came back for dinner today, Lin Yuming would definitely not be like this.
Just like back then, he would rather let Chi Qiu buy ice cream than worry about Chi Xia staying in the cafe and waiting for him, his selfishness was fully exposed.
Lin Yuming went all out, and smiled sarcastically: "If you want to create a complete family for Chi Qiu, why don't you find his biological father and come back? Oh—I see, it's not that you don't want to find him, it's that he doesn't want to at all Contacted you, so you found me, who looks similar to him, to come back and deceive yourself?"
These few words almost hit Chi Lanyan's sore spot, she stood up abruptly: "Lin Yuming!"
Chi Lanyan gritted her back molars, and swallowed slowly in one breath.
Her two relationships were not smooth, her first love left her cruelly, and her husband was selfish and separated from her. Outsiders said that she was cruel, eccentric, and unable to handle family affairs, which was why the Chi family was in chaos. But only Chi Lanyan knew in her heart that if she hadn't softened her heart to her family again and again, the Chi family wouldn't be in such a bad state today.
She looked at Lin Yuming and couldn't stand it for a minute.
Lin Yuming raised his eyes and looked at her indifferently.
Back then, Chi Xia forced them to die, and he didn't want them to divorce. And Lin Yuming's position in the school still needs the care of the Chi family, so he had to show his weakness in compromise and apologize humbly after being demented and furious.
He took advantage of his daughter's injury and begged Chi Lanyan not to divorce, but he still hated Chi Lanyan's partiality in his heart.
But Chi Qiu and Chi Xia are both meat that fell from Chi Lanyan's body, so how could she be partial
She wanted to change the heir to Chi Qiu because Chi Qiu was more talented than Chi Xia in this regard. She didn't mean to leave Chi Xia aside, she had prepared as much for Chi Xia as she had for Chi Qiu.
She even plans to let the two children jointly manage the company in the future.
Who knew that Lin Yuming's intense emotions would worsen a simple matter, which not only provoked the relationship between Chi Xia and Chi Qiu, but also pushed her emotions to the breaking point.
Today, Lin Yuming is crossing the river and tearing down the bridge.
He glanced at Chi Lanyan, prepared in his heart, and put the car keys in his hand on the table freely: "I will return the car to you. Starting tomorrow, I will live in the school dormitory until Xiaoxia returns home."
"...Xiao Xia said she is willing to come back?"
Chi Lanyan's focus almost immediately fell on her daughter.
Lin Yuming was too lazy to talk to her, let alone tell her about his daughter, he just said: "I'm not here, it doesn't matter how many times Chi Qiu wants to bring Lu Ming back." He made it clear that he didn't want to lie for Chi Lanyan, and even more He made it clear that he didn't want to have too much contact with Chi Qiu and Lu Ming.
His principle is that if you can't afford to provoke, you can afford to hide.
Lin Yuming talked too much today, and Chi Lanyan's mind was buzzing with excitement.
Chi Lanyan couldn't help but said: "Xiao Xia has grown up, now I want to divorce you, not only this car, but also everything on you."
Lin Yuming didn't panic at all, he smashed the jar and said, "Yes, Xiao Xia has grown up, but Chi Qiu's eyes are still not healed, you can only wait for Xiao Xia to come back to take over your family business. Lan Yan, you and I don't care if I get divorced or not, I am Xiao Xia's biological father, my own daughter, how could she ignore me?"
Chi Lanyan didn't expect Lin Yuming to be so straightforward, she was so angry that her neck turned red.
The conflict between husband and wife is an abyss of rupture. It has been bad for many years, and the warmth of the first meeting has long since disappeared. Now, all that remains is mutual hatred.
Chi Lanyan snapped: "Lin Yuming, what do you mean, I gave you face, right?"
"Why don't you say that your gay son finds a man to come back to give you more face?" Lin Yuming, who is nearly fifty years old, lost his gentleness and elegance in the past. He looked at Chi Lanyan, who was also entering middle age, with deep eyes. Filled with indifference, like looking at an enemy.
He opened his mouth, every single word was extremely harsh, completely different from his usual external image: "For the Lu family's money, you don't even want your face! Can't you understand Lu Ming's businessman's expression like yours? He I don't like Chi Qiu at all, and I don't like the precious son you hold on top of your heart, what are you doing, why should I play with you?"
"Snapped-"
Chi Lanyan waved his hand and slapped him abruptly, interrupting Lin Yuming's words.
Together with the applause, there was also the sound of the guide stick outside the door hitting the ground.
I don't know if it was because Chi Lanyan was too emotional, she didn't notice any movement outside the door at all. She was trembling, her eyes were reddish, and she clutched the clothes around her heart with one hand, a little unsteady.
Aunt Su hurriedly persuaded Chi Lanyan to sit down again: "Mr. Lin, please stop saying a few words! Mr. Chi is too anxious, and he is not in good health recently. The doctor told him to be less angry! It's not like you don't know..."
Before Aunt Su finished speaking, Lin Yuming snorted disdainfully and went to the guest room where he always lived.
Let's see what's going on!
