The Zheng family is mainly engaged in real estate in Hong Kong City, so the place where they live is naturally not bad. Zheng Qi has already seen the half-floor villa standing on the mountainside from a long distance away.
It was a European-style villa with a huge garden, and there was a small building diagonally behind for servants, which occupied a large area and was well maintained.
His mother was born in a famous family. When she was young, she went abroad to study, learned a lot of knowledge and had great ambitions, but after she got married, she stayed in this villa and took care of everything in the house, because she married her beloved She has always been happy with the man she loved until the bubble of happiness was burst not long ago.
Taking a deep breath, Zheng Qi stepped into the house.
Zheng Qi had already told his parents about coming back, and his parents were waiting for him now.
Zheng Qi's mother, Huo Nanyu, was sitting on the sofa, with exquisite makeup and a smile on her face. She was no different from the way she used to be at home every day waiting for Zheng Qi to come back. However, this is the biggest difference - no mother can say goodbye When the son of a long time came back, he was still so indifferent.
However, the head of the Zheng family, Zheng Qi's father, Zheng Xiuping, obviously didn't notice the abnormality of his wife. He was looking at Zheng Qi angrily at the moment, and even picked up the ashtray next to him and threw it over: "You bastard, you still know Come back! I thought you died outside!"
"I have been in touch with my family." Zheng Qi avoided the ashtray. He was telling the truth. Although he ran away from home, he kept reporting his safety. After all, he was full of guilt towards his parents at the time.
"What I want is for you to contact the family? Zheng Qi, since you are back, go out with me tomorrow to meet the second lady of the Luo family." Zheng Xiuping said sharply. He was angry when he knew Zheng Qi's sexual orientation. As time goes by, this anger grows more and more.
"Dad, I like men." Zheng Qi looked at his father with sour eyes.
"Like men? You bastard has disgraced me! Zheng Qi, let me tell you, if you still want to go astray, I won't be your son!" Zheng Xiuping sternly said, Zheng Qi had always It's his pride, but if Zheng Qi likes men, it will be his shame. His Zheng Xiuping's son can never like a man!
"Then just pretend you don't have this son." Huo Nanyu said suddenly.
When Zheng Xiuping heard his wife's words, he turned his head in surprise, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Nanyu, what did you say?"
"I said, then just pretend you don't have this son, and I don't have your husband." Huo Nanyu didn't move at all, and she looked like she was only in her thirties. people's momentum.
"Huo Nanyu, what nonsense are you talking about!" Zheng Xiuping only thought that his wife was threatening him, and immediately frowned in dissatisfaction.
"Zheng Xiuping, I've prepared the divorce agreement, you can sign it." Huo Nanyu glanced at her son, and then took out a stack of papers from the bag next to her.
The anger on Zheng Xiuping's face was even stronger: "Are you threatening me?"
"I'm not threatening you. I really want to divorce you. If you don't want to cause trouble, sign the contract quickly and we will break up peacefully." Huo Nanyu said. These two months have been very difficult for her, but now that she has said this, she feels a sense of relief.
Zheng Xiuping hadn't seen his wife look so cold and stern for more than ten years, and he was finally sure that his wife was telling the truth: "You want to divorce me because of this little bastard?" Or was it because of something else? Zheng Xiuping looked at Huo Nanyu suspiciously, and suddenly remembered many other things. For example, Huo Nanyu has been sleeping with him in a separate room for the past few months on the grounds of insomnia...
"My surname is Zheng, you'd better not scold my son. But I do want to divorce you because of a little bastard, that's it." Huo Nanyu threw out a photo of Zheng Xiuping's illegitimate son.
Zheng Xiuping originally had a lot to say, he wanted to ask Huo Nanyu if there was another man outside, and wanted to scold his son for being unfilial, but when he saw this photo, he looked like a balloon that had been punctured. Suddenly deflated.
"Let's get a divorce." Huo Nanyu said.
"Nanyu, that woman and I were just calculated. I never thought about divorce. If Xiaoqi hadn't come out of the closet, I wouldn't have looked at that child more! If you really don't like them, I'll get them out immediately." Send it away." Zheng Xiuping came back to his senses at this time. Although he had a woman outside, he never thought of getting a divorce. How could a woman outside be as important as Huo Nanyu? What if Zheng Qi didn't do something stupid? Why did he put his hope on the child outside
"Zheng Xiuping, you'd be ashamed to put the blame on Xiaoqi... Let me tell you, my divorce is not because you raised that illegitimate child, but because you cheated. How old was Xiaoqi when you cheated? This has nothing to do with him Not at all." Huo Nanyu smiled: "You don't need to talk about being tricked, without you, how could they not work but live in a big house and hire servants?"
Zheng Xiuping's face changed drastically for a moment, but he couldn't say any more rebuttals. Huo Nanyu was one of the most outstanding socialites in Hong Kong back then, and had many suitors. After he finally caught up, he promised that he would never cheat. As time went by, he gradually forgot himself.
These days, it's really nothing for a man to raise a woman outside and have an illegitimate child. Moreover, Huo Nanyu is in poor health and will not be able to give birth after Zheng Qi. The illegitimate child was raised because of Zheng Qi's bastard, why couldn't Huo Nanyu understand
Zheng Xiuping's face changed again and again, all kinds of thoughts were rolling in his mind, and suddenly he slapped Zheng Qi: "You bastard, if it weren't for you..."
Zheng Qi stood by the door and watched his parents quarrel without saying a word. In those days before, he had always blamed himself, thinking that it was because of his relationship that his parents had caused this trouble, but now that he was slapped, this thought disappeared.
Huo Nanyu failed to stop the slap, but her face turned cold: "Xiao Qi, let's go!"
In fact, her divorce was partly for Zheng Qi. If she only knew that Zheng Xiuping was cheating, she would not divorce for her son no matter how much she hated Zheng Xiuping. She would stay and help her son get everything from the Zheng family first. Besides.
But Zheng Qi likes men... Zheng's is a family business, and Zheng Xiuping owns 32% of the shares, but not an absolute holding. Those who want to fight for power, if their sexuality is not exposed by the time, what will they do
Of course, if Zheng Qi is very powerful and has the ability to bring the Zheng family to a new height, then there is no need to worry about it, and others will not care whether he likes a man or a woman, but his son knows that Huo Nanyu is very It is clear that Zheng Qi may be a genius in computers, but he is just a novice in managing companies. Compared with his uncles and even his cousins, he has no advantage at all.
What's more, although Zheng Xiuping still has feelings for them, he may not fully support Zheng Qi, whom he regards as a disgrace.
Instead of holding back her disgust and continuing to waste time with Zheng Xiuping, she might as well take advantage of the fact that Zheng Xiuping feels ashamed and get divorced early, and get something more for herself by the way.
"Mom, where are we going?" Zheng Qi asked just after leaving the Zheng family mansion.
"I have a house not far away, and it's been packed, we can live in it." Huo Nanyu said, and then looked at Zheng Qi: "Xiao Qi, mother is going to divorce, will you blame me?"
"How come?" Zheng Qi said immediately, if he encountered such a situation, he would also want to divorce.
"That's good, you can rest assured, Mom won't let you suffer." Huo Nanyu said, now that Zheng Xiuping is at fault, and she still holds the evidence of Zheng Xiuping's derailment, so she has the initiative, if there is no accident , Zheng Xiuping will definitely sign the agreement she left behind.
She didn't want the Zheng family's shares. Since she no longer intends to take the Zheng family's full Zheng family, it doesn't make much sense to take the shares. She also didn't want the Zheng family's house. Although the house is now The value is very, very high, but it is the ancestral home of the Zheng family after all, left by Zheng Xiuping's parents. If she insists on it, Zheng Xiuping agrees, and Zheng Xiuping's brothers and sisters will not agree...
However, apart from these two things, she wanted all of Zheng Xiuping's property.
Zheng Xiuping's shares are the most valuable thing in Zheng Xiuping's hands, but the other properties handed down by the Zheng family ancestors, Zheng Xiuping's investment and purchase of real estate other than Zheng's over the years, etc., are not worth more than Zheng's shares. How much less.
In that divorce agreement, she asked for all of Zheng Xiuping's real estate except the Zheng family's mansion, all the funds in Zheng Xiuping's hands, and the shares of other companies owned by Zheng Xiuping except Zheng's. As for her His personal assets have already been in his hands.
What's more, even the Zheng family's mansion has been almost moved by her. The antique calligraphy, paintings and jewelry that she and Zheng Xiuping have successively bought and handed down from their ancestors over the years are all stored in the bank safe in the name of Zheng Qi.
Huo Nanyu's house is on the side of a very busy street in Hong Kong City. The house is a small three-story building with a small garden and a poor appearance. Huo Nanyu's dowry.
"My dad told me back then that real estate in a good location would never have to worry about depreciation. Sure enough, the value of this building has doubled now." Huo Nanyu led Zheng Qi into the house.
Zheng Qi agreed with Huo Nanyu's words, and was about to answer, but he didn't want to see the nanny who took care of him since he was a child, standing at the door to welcome them.
"That house is just an empty shell now." Huo Nanyu smiled slightly, now Zheng Xiuping may find it difficult to eat a meal that suits his appetite at home...
Zheng Qi suddenly felt relaxed.
Of course, Han Chongyuan and Meng En were really relaxed.
Meng En only cooked simple meals for Han Chongyuan that night, but the next morning, he made dumplings with three flavors: celery and pork filling, egg fungus and carrot filling, and leek and pork filling.
Meng En didn't know how to roll dumpling wrappers, so he bought dumpling wrappers. They were very thin, but they tasted good. After the two of them ate a bowl of soup dumplings, Meng En steamed all the remaining dumplings and put them in The thermos, and then filled a large cup of preserved egg and lean meat porridge with the thermos, and then went out with Han Chongyuan.
The city of Hong Kong was already very bustling, and it coincided with New Year's Day, and the bustle was more than doubled. They looked at one store after another, not to mention Meng En's eyes fixed on it, and even Han Chongyuan had a smile on his face.
As for Tan Feiyue... Han Chongyuan once again forgot about him.
"The things here are really expensive." Meng En followed Han Chongyuan to a lot of places, but he didn't buy anything else except the thermos bucket that he carried in the morning.
"Some things are much cheaper." Han Chongyuan smiled. Many people come here specifically to buy things. Li Xiaoxiao would come here several times a year. Once he was by his side, Li Xiaoxiao's posture was simply I just wish I could buy the whole street.
Sure enough, Meng En is the best.
Both of them are men, and they are not interested in clothes and cosmetics. The last thing they buy is basically all kinds of snacks. do not eat.
Meng En always felt that Han Chongyuan was very different from what he imagined, but even so, he couldn't take his eyes off Han Chongyuan at all...
"Let's go to the store in front to buy some skin care products." Seeing a store from afar, Han Chongyuan said suddenly. Qian Mo was so focused on her career that she naturally didn't pay much attention to her appearance, and she used ordinary skin care products. Now that she saw it, Han Chongyuan planned to buy her a better set for her.
"Ah?" Meng En was a little surprised, skin care products, are these for women
"Give it to my mother." Seeing Meng En's puzzled face, Han Chongyuan explained that in his previous life he had bought cosmetics for Qian Mo when she was seriously ill to cover up her sickness, but he still remembered the brand Qian Mo used.
It turned out to be like this, and Meng En was a little happy for some reason after hearing Han Chongyuan's explanation.
It's a pity that his happiness only lasted until he entered the store.
"Han Chongyuan?" Li Xiaoxiao looked at the boy in front of him in surprise, or rather he should not be called a boy, but a youth. After seeing Han Chongyuan last summer vacation, she had never seen him again. She never thought that she would see him here now. After not seeing him for half a year, Han Chongyuan became more mature and even more astonishing.
Han Chongyuan took a step back and looked at Li Xiaoxiao with disgust. He is still not capable of revenge on Li Xiaoxiao, and has been pretending to be a non-existent person. He didn't expect to meet him in the end. What a bad luck!
"You are Han Chongyuan? Why didn't you send us your study notes this semester?" A girl next to Li Xiaoxiao asked, tilting her head with a charming face.
Han Chongyuan knew this girl, she was Li Xiaoxiao's good friend, and later fell in love with the girl Shen Hetai chased after, named Zuo Lei, whose family opened a food factory. As for the study notes... Li Xiaoxiao's grades are not good. He has indeed done the stupid thing of sorting out the content to learn before the start of each semester and making a study note.
"I won't do that kind of stupid thing again. Also, please stay away from me. I feel disgusted when I see you." Han Chongyuan said.
Li Xiaoxiao's face turned pale: "Han Chongyuan, do you think I want to say hello to you? If it's not for Uncle Han's sake..."
"Then don't you hurry up?" Han Chongyuan looked at Li Xiaoxiao sarcastically. Since this person hates him, why does he pretend to stick to him
Li Xiaoxiao covered her face and ran out crying.
Meeting someone he hated, but still unable to go up to teach him a lesson, Han Chongyuan's mood became very bad, and he didn't even want to stay in this store any longer, so he glanced at Meng En immediately: "Follow me!"
Meng En hurriedly followed, with his head down, a little dazed.
He had been following Han Chongyuan just now, saw Li Xiaoxiao's appearance, and also saw Han Chongyuan's clenched fists.
Han Chongyuan is easily irritated and always speaks without mercy, but he has never been in such an angry situation like today... Who is that girl
