After Catching The Rich And Old-Fashioned Daddy Chapter 28
byChapter 28 Hot Spring
It belongs to him from body to heart
No?What is it not?Not a nephew?
Zhong Yili didn’t react at all: “Did Chu Zai pretend to be someone else on purpose, or did you find a fake one? Could it be that Brother Tingzhao’s child has…”
The worst word he didn’t say.
In recent years, Mrs. Shao has frequently been in and out of private hospitals. Although there is no conclusive evidence from the outside world, there are still endless speculations about Mrs. Shao’s health.
Shao Tingyue frowned and did not deny it, “It’s pretty much what you thought.”
According to reports from subordinates involved in the investigation: Li Manni committed suicide due to postpartum depression shortly after giving birth to her child in Malaysia.The child was taken away by a nurse at the clinic and lost sight of.The last news was that the nurse’s family was in a shipwreck on a boat and no one survived.
Such a result was too tragic, and Shao Tingyue couldn’t tell his mother the truth.
“Since you’ve made a mistake, it’s a mistake.” Zhong Yili calmed down, but there was still a look of disapproval on his face, “Then you can raise Chu Tsai as a real nephew, protect him, and give him everything he deserves? The old lady treats him like a grandson, and you are still with him… Now Chu Tsai’s identity is Shao Chu, and you are uncle and nephew in the eyes of the outside world. If someone finds out something in the future…”
“This day will never happen.”
Shao Tingyue’s bottomless black eyes were calm and showed no trace of regret.
Zhong Yili rubbed his brows and shook his head: “That’s all. Ever since we were young, your grades have been better than mine, and your business is better than mine. I have no right to criticize you for the decisions you make.”
“But you have to think about it yourself. You are in a high position, and others dare not say anything about you. Chu Tsai is different. He will receive more criticism than you in the future. One more thing, if Chu Tsai grows up and has the life he wants to pursue, I hope you will let it go. As brothers, that’s all.”
Shao Tingyue was noncommittal about his statement, “I will protect him.”
Zhong Yili still didn’t recover, clutching his chest: “You are so outrageous, do you know that I am getting married soon! If you do such a big thing, I will have a heart attack. Zhiqing will remarry when the time comes, and I will never let you go!” (If you do such a big thing, I won’t let you go.)
Shao Tingyue didn’t even raise his eyebrows. After speaking, he glanced at his watch and said, “Are you done? I’m leaving.”
“Wait!” Zhong Yili called him again, “Let’s have dinner together tonight. I also want to meet Chu Tsai.” He wanted to see with his own eyes what was going on now.
Shao Tingyue pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Zhong Yili agreed on a time and place, and before leaving, he suddenly remembered something: “By the way, I forgot to tell you, Zhiqing’s cousin Alex also came with me and said he wanted to go shopping by himself. He should be nearby at the moment, and he might meet Chu Tsai.”
…
Li Chu waited in the cafe for a long time, and the second cup of hot cocoa had been refilled.
The owner is a kind old gentleman.
Seeing that this beautiful oriental boy had been sitting alone for a long time, and the sky was getting gloomier, he took the initiative to give him a hot drink and a small gingerbread as a gift.
Li Chu thanked him in a low voice, picked it up and took a few sips when the door of the coffee shop was suddenly pushed open. He subconsciously raised his head and caught the eye of the person at the door.
The other person was a boy about his age, wearing a fashionable bomber jacket and with three-dimensional and handsome features.
It looks familiar.
When he saw Li Chu, his eyes instantly lit up, and a big surprised smile broke out on his face: “Chu Zai?! Why are you in London too?!”
Li Chu remembered that he had met him before when they went to sea in Hong Kong Island, and they also saw dolphins together, so he smiled with a crooked smile: “It’s you! Alex, long time no see.”
Alex came over familiarly and sat down opposite him: “It’s been a long time, haven’t we seen each other? I didn’t expect to meet in London. We are quite destined! Why are you sitting here alone? Where is Mr. Shao?”
Li Chu said truthfully: “My second uncle has something to discuss. I will wait for him here.”
Alex had a clear look on his face, “I knew Mr. Shao was here. You could tell from the last time on the yacht that he was very strict with you. I came here with my cousin-in-law this time. I applied for a school in London and stopped by to check out the environment.”
Li Chu heard him mention that he wanted to study abroad. He nodded and noticed the camera hanging around his neck.
Alex immediately raised it and shook it like a treasure: “Are you also interested in taking pictures? I took a lot of London street scenes. I can give you a photo album after I get them developed.”
Li Chu’s eyes widened a little: “Really?”
Alex nodded: “Really, if you want to take pictures, we can go there now.”
Li Chu was hesitant. He was afraid that he would go too far and Shao Ting would not be able to find anyone when he came back.
Alex continued to invite warmly: “Aren’t you bored just sitting there all the time? Mr. Shao is so busy, so he probably doesn’t take you around much, right? The weather is rare… well, although it’s about to rain, it still smells like cloudy days! I know the angle at Tower Bridge is great, and there shouldn’t be many people now.”
Li Chu thought for a while and finally left the cafe with Alex.
Alex was indeed very familiar with this area. He led him through the ancient alleys and quickly reached his destination.
The famous Tower Bridge in London looks particularly majestic under the sky.
Alex looked for a shooting angle and asked casually: “By the way, Chu Tsai, where are you staying? A hotel?”
Li Chu was stunned for a moment. He couldn’t remember the specific address or name of the manor: “Well… it’s a big and beautiful manor, with ponies and lambs.”
“Manor?” Alex raised his head from behind the viewfinder and frowned: “Isn’t the location remote? It must be boring? Next to my hotel is the British Museum! It’s very convenient. You can go to see mummies and that… Rosetta Stone at any time! Chuzi, do you want to move in with me, and you can go to the bar at night.”
Li Chu’s eyes lit up, but he shook his head: “Second uncle doesn’t allow me to go to the bar.”
Alex was a little unbelievable: “What if you really go? Will Mr. Shao still beat you and scold you?”
Li Chu thought of last night’s scene. His butt still hurt a little, and his face wrinkled: “…I know how to hit him, and I hit him very hard. I kept crying.”
Alex took a deep breath, patted Li Chu’s shoulder and comforted him: “Your second uncle is too strict, and I feel like he can only be so strict with his own son.”
After taking the photo, they watched the street performance for a while. A tall white man passed by in a hurry, and Li Chu was staggered by the impact.
“Hey! Watch out!”
Alex shouted to him, and the white man turned back, shrugged, said “sorry” and left.
Alex stretched out his hand to hold Li Chu’s shoulder, looking concerned, “Are you okay? Did you hit him? There are a lot of pickpockets here. Check to see if there is anything missing on you.”
Li Chu rubbed his shoulder. It hurt a little. It was probably bruised.
But it wasn’t a big deal if things were stolen. He and Shao Ting never even took their wallets with them when they went out, so he didn’t need to worry about any occasion where they needed to pay.
Except… He also asked Shao Tingyue to borrow money to buy those two piggy dolls.
It was almost time, Li Chu planned to return, and Alex also said he would meet Zhong Yili.
At this time, there was a muffled thunder in the sky.
Li Chu raised his head to look at the sky. Fine rain began to fall down little by little: “It’s really raining, Alex. We don’t seem to have brought an umbrella.”
Alex also raised his head, closed his eyes as if he was enjoying it, and said: “Actually, raining in London is normal. Look at those gringos who don’t even hold umbrellas and just walk in the rain. It’s actually a kind of romance. As the saying goes, since you can’t change it, accept it bravely.”
…If you can’t change, just accept it bravely?Li Chu seemed to have thought of something and looked into the distance.
Alex was still talking about “romance in the rain”, but when he turned around and saw Li Chu’s appearance, his voice lowered unconsciously, and there was something else in his eyes.
The young man stood quietly in the rain, his face slightly raised, and the watery light reflected in his pupils, like broken stars.The whole person is clean and translucent, like a classical oil painting softly focused by rain and fog, quiet and beautiful.
Alex stared blankly for a moment, and somehow he wanted to reach out and wipe the raindrops hanging on Li Chu’s eyelashes.
At this moment, a cold voice came from behind: “Chu Zai.”
Li Chu and Alex followed the sound at the same time.
A few meters away, Shao Tingyue stood quietly in the rain holding a huge black umbrella.
His facial features are three-dimensional and cold, and his brow bones and bridge of nose are particularly mixed-race. Looking at him with such a calm expression, there is actually a frightening sense of oppression.
“Chu Zai, come here.” He called again, his tone calm and controlled.
Li Chu blinked, shook off a few small water drops, and walked towards him.
As soon as he reached under the umbrella, Shao Tingyue reached out and took him to his side, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his face.
Li Chu glanced at Alex unnaturally and did not dare to move. He could only stand obediently and let the man wipe him.
“The cheeks are so cold.” Shao Ting lowered his eyes and stared at the child’s red nose and cheeks: “If you get sick, who will be the one who feels uncomfortable?”
Li Chu was a little itchy from being rubbed by him and tilted his head: “It’s okay, second uncle, I think… it’s quite fun.”
Alex walked over, restrained his previous casualness, and greeted him respectfully: “Mr. Shao.”
Only then did Shao Tingyue look at him, and said a faint “hmm”, and exchanged a few words of greetings like an elder talking to a junior. Alex answered each one carefully, and in just a few minutes, he was so nervous that his palms were sweating.
Li Chu was so tired that he wanted to hang on Shao Tingyue, but there were so many people here, including Alex, a human-shaped light bulb, so he had to hold back.
…
The dinner location is a famous old French restaurant in London.The candlelight flickered, and the fragrant aroma of food and red wine floated in the air.
“Chu Zai, try this cod, the hollandaise sauce with it is amazing!” Alex recommended in a low voice across the table, and then talked about what he had not finished talking about in the afternoon, “By the way, guess what else I saw in the British Museum? There is an exhibition hall full of clocks…”
Li Chu was aroused by his words. He listened carefully with peach blossom eyes and took two bites of food from time to time. Shao Tingyue cut it for him and put it on the plate.
Shao Tingyue sat at the main seat next to Li Chu, his face becoming more and more gloomy after eating.
Zhong Yili took in all this and signaled the waiter to refill the red wine: “It’s better to be of the same age. We have common topics and can play together. Unlike the two of us, there is always a layer of separation between us.”
Alex didn’t hear the implication and said with a smile: “Yeah, Chu Tsai and I had a great chat in the afternoon. He even promised to go to the museum with me next time.”
Shao Tingyue pursed his lips slightly and glanced at Zhong Yili: “Speaking of which, does Zhiqing know that you pursued me when you were studying abroad…”
Zhong Yili almost choked on a sip of red wine, coughed twice unnaturally, and interrupted the conversation: “Alex, are you full? It’s almost time to go back. I have business to discuss tomorrow, so you should go back to the hotel early to rest.”
Shao Tingyue smiled and said, “It seems that you don’t know anymore? I still remember that you were treated badly by Mr. Zhong’s family rules because of this incident…”
Zhong Yili rubbed his eyebrows and lowered his voice: “OK, I was wrong, okay? Brother, I was wrong, can you stop talking about this?”
Shao Tingyue said nothing more, and slowly watched Li Chu finish eating, wiped his hands, and led the others back.
…
Li Chu fell asleep on the way back, hanging on the man like a koala.
Shao Tingyue stared at the night scene outside the window, remembering the scene he saw at the Tower Bridge in the afternoon.
And what Zhong Yili said: “…at such a young age, does he know clearly what liking means? Have you ever thought that one day he will regret it?”
Regret, grow up, leave.
A gloomy light flashed across Shao Tingyue’s eyes, let go?How is it possible.He is his, from body to heart, from the past to the future, it can only be his.
Li Chu woke up when the car returned to the manor.He fell asleep in a daze, rubbed his cheek against the man’s chin, and said with a nasal voice: “Second uncle…”
The atrium collapsed hopelessly and became soft.
Shao Tingyue kissed the top of his hair and asked in a low voice: “Are you awake? Are you still sleepy?”
Li Chu shook his head, nodded again, squeezed himself tighter into his arms and sniffed.
He had been caught in the rain in the afternoon, and his speech had begun to sound nasal.
Oops, I feel like I’m going to catch a cold.
Li Chu closed his ears with a guilty conscience, fearing that the man would push him down on the sofa and spank him again.
Shao Ting felt that his temperature was still normal, so he asked Harris to ask the maid to make ginger soup, and then took someone to the hot spring behind the main building.
There is a natural hot spring near here, and the spring water was connected when the manor was first built.All the way to the interior of the manor, a semi-open-air hot spring pool was built.
The entire space is constructed of natural stone, and the edges are polished to be rounded and smooth, retaining a bit of original texture. It is surrounded by flowers, plants and trees, which protects privacy very well.
As soon as Li Chu stepped in here, he was attracted by the sight in front of him.This place is like a small secret place that is independent from the world and belongs only to the two of them.
Shao Tingyue hugged him and got into the water. Warm spring water came from all directions.
“Are you comfortable?”
Li Chu nodded and looked up at the starry sky with bright eyes, “Second uncle, the stars are so close.”
Shao Tingyue didn’t respond, so Li Chu turned to look at him.
The other party’s three-dimensional and profound handsome face was very close, and the crow-feather-like eyelashes cast a shadow in the eye sockets.
Li Chu’s face turned red and he tilted his head: “What’s wrong, second uncle?”
The man rubbed his soft earlobes and began to settle accounts, “BB, why don’t you tell your husband what you did with Alex today?”
