byChapter 47 Little Liar
bb, lying is not a good boy (contains 7000 nutrient solution plus more updates)
The old lady’s expression tightened, she picked up the teacup and took a slow sip, suppressing the panic in her heart.
If I had known earlier, I would have stayed at Baochan Temple for a few more days.
At least it can be clean and pure!You don’t have to face this possessed evil obstacle as soon as you get home.
She sighed calmly, thinking about Cousin’s appearance before leaving, and her heart softened a little.
Before leaving, she kept saying nice things to her bastard son: “Grandma, my second uncle is really good to me”, “I did it myself”, “Don’t blame him”…
It’s true that he was sold a piglet and still helped count the money!
Such a well-behaved and considerate child, with an innocent look on his face, she didn’t want him to go so far away!When I dream back at midnight, I will also worry about whether my decision is wrong, what if he encounters some danger outside…
It’s not that she can’t see that Li Chu is full of dependence and attachment on her bastard son.
But just because of this, she was even more worried.
A child who has just celebrated his 19th birthday, does he know what love is?Do you know what it means to be willing?Can he tell whether it’s dependence or love?
If she had known better, she would have made a mistake. After Li Chu came to Shao Mansion, she really thought it was Ting Zhao’s flesh and blood.However, after throwing the Holy Grail three times in front of Empress Mazu, she always cried, and she already had doubts in her heart.
Later, the more Shao Ting put Li Chu’s family tree on the agenda, the more her suspicions became confirmed.
But Chu Tsai is destined to her…she doesn’t mind treating him as her grandson.
If Chu Tsai were a little older, matured mentally, seen the world, and truly knew what he wanted——
Why would she interfere in their relationship?
She wished her son would get married soon, and she wished someone could soften his cold heart.Be it male or female, female or male, what has she, a half-buried person, not seen?What is not acceptable?
But she was really afraid… afraid that Chuzai would regret it in the future.
I’m afraid that what he thinks he “likes” now is just his instinct to grasp at straws!I’m afraid that when he grows up, sees a wider world, and meets more and better people, he will eventually find that he has no choice at all.
At that time, they will really become enemies.
Thinking of this, the old lady glared at her bastard son. He didn’t understand her good intentions at all!
“Chu Tsai is good at English.” Shao Tingyue stared at her expression and spoke slowly, “The first choice is naturally an English-speaking country, and the United Kingdom must be the first choice. Shaw Brothers has extensive business in the United Kingdom, including shipping, finance, and real estate. We have people everywhere. If he really goes to the United Kingdom, he will be recognized within three days. You will not take such a risk. Singapore and Malaysia are too small and close, so you will not choose. Then the only choice is the United States.”
He paused, and his deep eyes seemed to be able to penetrate everything: “Chu Zai has an oriental face. He is a new arrival. You need to register to rent a house and register for school. Even if you do nothing, you will be looked at twice when walking on the street.”
The old lady’s expression moved slightly, and the jade beads in her hand knocked against the armrest.
She cursed secretly in her mind, but kept her expression steady, trying not to show any flaws in her expression.He was not sure, so he was testing and deceiving her!
A common tactic at the negotiation table is to first throw out a conclusion and then see the other party’s reaction.
She has been following the old man for decades, what kind of scene has she not seen?But this bastard actually used this trick in the mall on his own mother!
The old lady was so angry that a few wrinkles appeared from the corners of her eyes.She had to go and offer incense to Shao Licheng tonight and accuse him of his good son!Let him see what kind of evil he has caused to be so angry with his seventy-year-old mother!
The corners of his lips curved in a very slight arc: “Having locked the approximate range, it won’t be that difficult to find him.”
The old lady took a deep breath, changed her sitting position, and suppressed her guilty conscience: “So what if you find him? Chu Tsai will grow up one day. Do you think it’s enough to hold him in your hands by any means? If he can hide once, he can hide a second time. Can you lock him up for the rest of his life?”
Shao Tingyue’s eyes became darker and darker, with a shocking paranoia.
The old lady looked at him, her heart skipping a beat.
She knows the men of the Shao family so well that she will never let go of the people and things she likes throughout her life.
It’s like a genetic curse engraved in your bones.
“Mother.” Shao Tingyue spoke, word by word: “Since you already know, I can also inform you that we will get married when we find our first son.”
The old lady looked at him blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Just because she can accept two men being together doesn’t mean that the whole of Hong Kong Island can accept it.
Shao Tingyue stood up, straightened the sleeves on his hands, and said slowly: “Aren’t you always urging me to give Chu Tsai a genealogy and correct his name? I asked Mazu a long time ago. The gods have already agreed to the marriage. What reason do you have to object?”
The Shao family has been running boats for generations, and the one they respected the most was Mazu. When the old man was still alive, he would go to the small Buddhist hall to offer incense every time there was an important event.
“Whether you agree or disagree, I’m done with this marriage.”
The old lady looked at the son she had raised since childhood in front of her, as if she really knew him for the first time.
“You…you are really…”
It’s crazy!
…
The light in the study was dim, and the heavy curtains were drawn tightly, not allowing any sunlight to penetrate.
The air was filled with the overwhelming aroma of cigars.
The more Shao Ting sat on the chair, the three-dimensional eye sockets became more and more sunken, and the deep brow bones were pressed down like dark clouds, but his dark eyes were still bright, a bit scary, like a ghost fire burning in the darkness.
Liang Wei has been with Shao Tingyue for so long and has never seen his boss look like this.
I used to be a calm and serious person who seemed to have everything under control.
Now the shirt collar is open, the sleeves are rolled up to the forearm, and the tie has been thrown away.
He looked like he hadn’t had a full night’s sleep in days.
During the day, I handle work in the group, hold meetings, sign documents, meet people, everything is as usual.The rest of the time, he sat in this study waiting for news, making phone calls, and reading a steady stream of investigative reports from around the world.
Liang Wei sighed in his heart, feeling uncomfortable himself.Working twenty-four hours a day, the people below are almost exhausted, and everyone is miserable.
He walked to the desk and said, “Boss, the latest news.”
Shao Tingyue raised his eyelids to look at him. Those deep black eyes made people feel a huge sense of pressure even if he didn’t speak.
Liang Wei opened the file and began to report: “The exit record is indeed a flight to the UK and landed at London Heathrow. But the whereabouts after that…cannot be traced.”
“It’s too easy to transfer from London to other European cities,” Liang Wei continued. “Paris, Amsterdam, and Frankfurt are all well connected by railways and short-distance flights. Once you land and check where you want to go, it’s impossible to start. The route chosen by the old lady is obviously carefully designed.”
Shao Tingyue said nothing after listening, his eyes were heavy and he didn’t know what he was thinking.
A full half month has passed, fifteen days, and his little friend has been hiding so well.
Liang Wei turned over a page: “In addition, according to our investigation in the past few days, Master Xiaochu should have changed his identity. There are more than 50 prestigious schools in the United States, from the east and west coasts together, and there are too many Chinese students who meet the age and admission requirements. We have been investigating one by one, but it will take some time.”
“How long, I want an exact time.”
Liang Wei took a deep breath: “Everyone who can be used has been mobilized.”
Shao Tingyue’s voice was cold: “If you don’t have enough manpower, keep recruiting. The longer it takes, the harder it will be to find them.”
His face was expressionless, but his eyes were so cold that people dared not look directly into them.
All the bodyguards who followed Master Xiaochu’s daily movements have been dealt with. These mercenaries hired from Southeast Asia are capable of fighting, but they are not careful enough in their work. They knew that Master Xiaochu was not in good condition in those few days and that he was staying alone in Repulse Bay, but they did not report in time.
By the time I found out that the person was missing, it was already too late.
Liang Wei lowered his eyes, he knew his boss’s temper.No matter how generous you are to your subordinates, you will never show mercy once your bottom line is touched.What’s more, those people failed in their duties this time.
“Continue the investigation in the United States.” Shao Tingyue’s voice interrupted his thoughts, “Fifty schools are not enough, a hundred schools are not enough. Photos, information, and addresses of all newly admitted Chinese students must not be missed. People around the old lady must also be monitored. The connections she can use and the people she can entrust should be checked one by one.”
Liang Wei lowered his head: “Yes, boss.”
…
Sixteen thousand peonies and camellias arrived in Hong Kong as scheduled.
From the place of origin to Hong Kong Island, the entire cold chain air transportation is three times more expensive than the flowers themselves.
However, no one picked up the goods after landing, and more than a million expensive flowers were just piled in the airport cold storage.
For half a month, passengers entering Hong Kong Island Airport can smell the faint fragrance of flowers.
Luxury, malaise, decay.
Gradually, some people began to speculate about which top wealthy man failed to propose marriage.
Hong Kong media even commented: “Money can’t buy sincerity?”Millions of Famous Flowers Turned into Trash”!
Subtitle: The identity of the flower owner remains a mystery, the airport cold storage becomes a “love freezer”
Rumors seemed to have wings, becoming more and more outrageous as they spread.
Some say the protagonist is a wealthy businessman from Nanyang, some say he comes from a Macau gambling family, and some say he is an upstart in the real estate industry.Finally, someone speculated that it was a certain big shot in the shipping industry named Shao.
There were rumors earlier that antique rings were being auctioned in Europe, but the real marriage partner has yet to show up.
It seems that everyone is equal before love, and rich people will be trapped by love.
In the ice room, the neighbors were eating desserts and shaking their heads.
“Rich people order more?” A pretty aunt took a bite of the red bean cake and shook her head, “More than a million flowers were ruined like this, I’m afraid a woman flew away.” (What about the rich people? I’m afraid a woman dumped them!)
“It’s not just a flight, I think the bride walked away!” The aunt next to her answered with a gossipy face, “I heard that the tens of thousands of flowers were piled up in the airport cold storage, and the entire warehouse was filled with fragrance. Why don’t you compare with me!” (It’s not just a dump! I think the bride ran away! Tens of thousands of flowers were piled in the airport cold storage, and the whole warehouse was full of fragrance. It’s terrible, don’t give it to me!)
“Who is he? Is this rich man so generous?” someone asked.(Which one is it? Which rich man is so generous?)
“I heard that the man named Shao from the shipping industry…” Another uncle lowered his voice and said mysteriously: “Don’t tell me, don’t tell me, be careful not to be heard.” (Don’t tell me, don’t tell me, be careful of being overheard.)
“Shaw Brothers?” Someone took a breath, “Will the boss of such a big company be dumped?” (Will the boss of such a big company be dumped?)
“Are you rich? You can’t buy love with money.” The young man next to him shook his head, looking like someone who had experienced the past.(So what if you have money? You can’t buy love with money.)
Wen Sitong was cleaning the table and frowned as he listened.
Aren’t they talking about Chu Tsai’s second uncle, Mr. Shao?He got married and was let go?
It seems that Chu Zai hasn’t been to the ice room for several days.
When was the last time you came?Two weeks ago… or more?The child usually comes to sit with her every now and then to help and chat with her.
But recently…it seems like he really hasn’t come.
She put down the rag, walked to the door and took a look outside.
Under the arcade across the street, there were several men in dark clothes standing, their eyes always looking this way.She had noticed it two days ago, but didn’t take it seriously at the time, thinking she was waiting for someone’s car or someone.
But they are still there today.
Wen Sitong felt a little embarrassed. If this wasn’t surveillance, what was it?
Has she not offended anyone?The ice room has been open for so long that the neighbors are all familiar with it.
The protection fee was also paid on time, and there was no quarrel with anyone.Who are these people?What do you want to do?
…
Shao Tingyue moved into Li Chu’s room, like a wild beast that enclosed its territory without permission. After his partner disappeared, he stubbornly guarded the last piece of territory that contained his partner’s scent.
It’s just that the bed is too big and too empty——
When he lay down, he would think of the child curled up in his arms, with gentle breaths on his chest. After falling asleep, he would unconsciously bury his face in his neck, wrapping his arms and legs around him, like a koala hugging a tree trunk and refusing to let go.
The servants dare not enter this room to clean it because it smells like Li Chu.
Shao Tingyue lay on the bed, leaning on Li Chu’s pillow, burying his face in it and taking a deep breath.
There is also a little bit of sweet aftertaste, not enough, not enough, the taste is too bland.
He stood up and opened the closet.Most of Li Chu’s clothes were not taken away.He took out the clothes and laid them on the bed one by one, piling them next to him.
Then he lay down and buried himself in the pile of clothes.
Finally able to breathe, the man closed his eyes.
Li Chu could not count how many times it appeared in his dream.
He was standing beside the bed, wearing a thin off-white sweater, smiling softly at him.Those peach blossom eyes curved into two crescent moons, and the eyes seemed to be filled with stardust.
“Second uncle.” The child’s voice was as soft as cotton candy, “Why are you sleeping here?”
Shao Ting wanted to hug him more and more: “bb, come here.”
However, when I stretched out my hand, I didn’t touch anything.
He slept briefly.
It was already bright outside the window, and the morning light shone in through the gaps in the curtains.
Shao Tingyue lay on the bed, motionless, with a dull pain in his heart, as if something was slowly biting him, then gradually swallowing him up.
Children, no, little liars.
He deceived so well.
She had obviously planned to leave, but she still snuggled into his arms as usual.Although he had already made up his mind to leave, he still raised his face and said, “Uncle, please come back soon.” He hugged him, kissed him, and said, “I will miss you.”
The man slowly sat up, took a royal blue velvet ring box from the bedside table and opened it.
A pair of silver-white diamond rings shimmered in the dim light, like waves and stars.
Then he picked up the men’s ring and slowly put it on the ring finger of his left hand.
He held the other one in his palm, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth and a hoarse voice, “BB, you are not a good liar. No matter how well you hide, I will find you.”
…
In the shooting club.
When Zhong Yili opened the door and came in, Shao Tingyue was standing in front of the shooting position.
The empty shooting range echoed with the dull sound of gunfire.
He wore a classic three-piece suit, crisp and pressed, with a pair of Patek Philippe Nautilus cufflinks, and his hair was meticulously combed back.At first glance, it seems that he is still the head of the Shao family who has made great changes in the shopping mall.
However, when Zhong Yili saw his face clearly, his eyebrows jumped.
But after not seeing him for a month, he could hardly recognize his brother.The person is still the same person, and the facial features are still the same.But the gloom and coldness between the brows…
It was as if there was only a shell left, still living, working, and breathing according to inertia.
Zhong Yili suddenly remembered the top mansions he had seen on the top of the mountain when he was a child.It has been vacant for many years after the owner passed away or immigrated. It still looks luxurious on the outside, but when you open the door, only the smell of decay and the wind passing through are left.
He stood there and thought for a while, and finally found the adjective – widower appearance.
That’s right, that kind of feeling of being a widower when his wife ran away, his eyes were blood-red, and his fishy smell was surging all in one breath.
Shao Tingyue didn’t look at him and pointed his gun neatly.
“Bang——!” Ten rings.
Zhong Yili’s ears were shaken violently. He frowned and walked over, stood beside him and said carefully: “Ting Yue, I understand how you feel. Can you, please calm down…”
Shao Tingyue ignored him and continued to reload with a cold expression.Soon after he became an adult, he passed the gun and license exams.He is one of the few members in Hong Kong who can legally hold guns.
“I know you are now…” Zhong Yili paused and found a less exciting word, “It’s uncomfortable, but you can’t go on like this. The old lady…”
“She’s very good.” Shao Tingyue interrupted him, his voice cold and without any ups and downs, “I’m either going to Baochan Temple to worship Buddha, or I’m going back to my parents’ home to visit relatives and reminisce about the past. I’m very busy.”
Zhong Yili: “It won’t help if you act like this now…life must go on.”
After saying this, he shook his head, feeling that what he said was meaningless.If Huo Zhiqing had run away, he would have gone crazy. How could he still stand here and talk?
“I’ve asked someone in the United States to help you find it.” Zhong Yili decided to say something useful. “I have a friend who teaches at New York University. He can get in touch with some people. I will let you know if there is any news.”
Shao Tingyue didn’t respond, he just continued to reload, raise the gun, and aim.
Zhong Yili looked at him, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke up: “Ting Yue, have you ever thought about why Chu Tsai left?”
“Bang——!” Another ten rings.
Zhong Yili’s eyelids were shaken by the shock, and he continued with difficulty, “I mean, what if you find him and he doesn’t want to come back with you…”
Shao Tingyue turned to look at him, and a chill suddenly ran down Zhong Yili’s back.
What is that look?It was so dark and silent that it seemed like it could be sucked into the whirlpool of everything.
Zhong Yili shut his mouth and did not dare to say another word.
Shao Tingyue withdrew his gaze and looked at the target in front of him again.
“Bang——!”
“Bang——!”
“Bang——!”
Three shots in a row, ten rounds of shots.
The smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air.
Shao Tingyue put down his gun, looked at the bullseye that had been beaten to pieces, and said coldly from deep in his chest: “You can’t help him.”
…
Six months later, California, USA.
The sunlight leaked through the gaps in the palm leaves and fell on the green lawn of the campus, which was dazzling.
Li Chu came out of the library with his books in his arms. As soon as he walked down the steps, he was stopped by a blond boy.
“Hey, Li! Wait a minute!”
It was an American in the same discussion class, named Matt. He was blond, tall and powerful, but he was a little too enthusiastic.I just helped him pick up a pen in class last week, and we started to have frequent “accidental encounters” with him this week.
“Hi, Matt.” Li Chu nodded politely and looked at him with clear peach blossom eyes.
Matt waved two tickets in his hand, showing a row of white teeth: “There is a music festival on the weekend in Santa Monica. Didn’t you say you liked the Beach Boys last time?”
Li Chu blinked and was stunned for a moment.When did he say he liked the Beach Boys?
Oh, yes, it was last week. During the group discussion, a California playlist was played in the classroom. He casually said that the song sounded pretty good.
Can you remember this?
Matt looked at him, his blue eyes suddenly a little lost.
He has never seen anyone like Li.
That kind of beauty that makes people unable to take their eyes away, he felt like this when he saw him for the first time in class, an oriental boy, sitting quietly in the corner, like a little angel who accidentally fell into the noisy illustrated magazine.
“Well, I might have to catch up on my thesis on the weekend…” Li Chu’s voice pulled him back.
“Don’t refuse me, Li!” Matt pushed the ticket into his hand, “You don’t have to worry about travel. I’ll pick you up and take you back after the show. It’s very convenient.”
Li Chu looked at the ticket in his hand and felt a little headache.
I have been in the United States for half a year, and I can keep up with the courses, but I am still not very skilled in dealing with this kind of situation.
Just as he was thinking about how to speak, a voice came from behind him: “Wen Li.”
Li Chu turned around and saw a tall Chinese boy standing a few steps away, wearing a blue sweatshirt and holding a cup of Mei’s coffee in his hand.
After coming to the United States, he changed his identity, took Wen Sitong’s surname, and changed his name to Wen Li.
This Chinese man is called Ming Chen, and he lives in the same apartment building as Li Chu. He has checked into several classes when choosing courses. He is the kind of neighbor who “nods when we meet, but doesn’t get to know each other well enough to ask for a meal.”
“The professor said yesterday that the reading material for the next class will be replaced by that new book.” Mingchen came over and said in a normal tone, “There are only three books in the library. I have already borrowed them. If you need them, you can borrow them first.”
When he was talking, he glanced at Matt and took it as a greeting. Li Chu came back to his senses and followed his words and said, “Yeah, thank you very much!”
Matt stood next to him, scratching his head in embarrassment.
Ming Chen continued to say to Li Chu: “Let’s go, I have to write that short essay when I get back. Didn’t you say yesterday that you didn’t know how to start? I have a few old sample essays that I can give you for reference.”
He said it so naturally, as if it was true.
“I’m sorry, Matt.” Li Chu put the ticket back in his hand and smiled with crooked eyebrows: “We really have to go back to catch up on homework, maybe next time.”
Matt stared blankly for a moment, put away the ticket and shrugged helplessly, “Okay, okay, next time.”
Li Chu followed Ming Chen for a few steps and slowly walked back to the apartment building side by side. The October wind in California blew in his face, bringing a bit of coolness and making him very comfortable.
Mingchen must have just had a haircut. Before, he was a young man with semi-long hair and a somewhat artistic temperament.After the hair is cut short, the three-dimensional brow bones are exposed, and the facial features have a subtle sense of mixed race, especially the eye sockets and the bridge of the nose…
Li Chu glanced twice unconsciously, and his gentle eyes showed a bit of loneliness.
Why… do you think he looks a bit like your second uncle?Have you been away from home for too long and missed him too much?
The young man lowered his eyelashes, and his face, which had been sunny just a moment ago, was covered with a layer of rain and mist.
The second uncle is probably very angry…
Or maybe he is no longer angry, and may not even remember him or like him anymore.
Grandma asked him to go out and see the world, meet more people, and then look back and think about his feelings for his second uncle.
Li Chu took a deep breath. He didn’t know what liking meant. He just felt his heart being squeezed tightly. He missed his second uncle so much…
