After Catching The Rich And Old-Fashioned Daddy Chapter 41
byChapter 41 His Medicine
Do you want to lock him up?
Shao Tingyue looked through it expressionlessly.
One page, two pages, three pages, application form, transcript, college introduction…
He didn’t read the rest.
He folded the pages in order and put them back into the pile of scattered books.
After doing this, he stood up silently, straightened Li Chudong’s cotton slippers, folded the pajamas at the end of the bed, and placed them next to the pillow.
Then turn off the lights and close the door.
The corridor was very quiet, and he stood at the door for two seconds.
The chest was a little breathless, like tens of thousands of tons of sea water rushing in from all directions, all the oxygen was squeezed out, and every breath was extremely difficult.
Li Chu wanted to live in such a far away place alone.
without him.
The child had obviously hugged him not long ago, saying that he liked him and stayed by his side willingly.
The faint sounds of people and cars came from the courtyard.
Shao Tingyue stood there and took deep breaths several times, and heard the thumping of footsteps coming from the stairs.
As soon as he turned around, a soft body ran straight into his arms, causing him to take half a step back, but his arms had already reflexively hugged the person.
“Second uncle!”
Li Chu raised his face, his eyebrows were curved, and his cheeks were still flushed with a thin layer of red from running.
Today, the boy wore a thin goose-yellow sweater, a light blue striped shirt underneath, and a denim-colored triangle scarf on the collar. He looked youthful, and his beautiful pupils were filled with stars.
Shao Ting lowered his eyes and looked at him, “Why are you running so fast? If you fall, don’t cry to me again.”
As he spoke, he raised his hand, straightened the boy’s tangled forehead, and gently twirled his earlobe with his fingertips.It’s soft and a bit cold. I guess I don’t have enough clothes on.
Li Chu tilted his head and hid, and simply stood obediently and let him do it, but kept saying, “Second uncle, you don’t know, the business of the store opening today is super good! Sister Sitong is so busy that her feet never touch the floor, there are people queuing up from morning to night, from the door to the corner of the street, and even the money is not accepted——”
When he spoke, his eyelashes were raised like two little sunflowers. He didn’t feel tired after working all day, and he found someone to fall in love with when he was full.
“How much do you think the recharge card was sold for? Thirty-eight thousand! It’s only the first day!”
“The set meals are also very popular! I think you can also make a collection of likes cards, stamp one stamp once you eat, and you can receive small gifts after stamping the whole card…Second uncle! Do you think it would be good to give a piggy doll?”
He usually doesn’t talk much and is a timid and timid kitten.At this moment, the whole person is as alive as jumping out of a painting.
Shao Tingyue listened quietly, holding Li Chu’s hand and walking downstairs. The child followed beside him, talking non-stop every step of the way.Let’s talk about today’s interesting guest, how two bodyguards helped out when there were not enough staff, and how Wen Sitong praised him.
“She also said that I am a scholar and have a good brain…”
When he went to the restaurant downstairs, the old lady was already sitting at the main seat. Li Chu suddenly felt embarrassed, let go of his hand, and sat down next to Shao Tingyue obediently.
During the dinner, the old lady asked about the ice room. Li Chu answered cautiously, not daring to say more for fear of annoying the old man.
After hearing this, the old lady put down the spoon and said with a smile: “It is our first time to start a business, so grandma must support us. Order a thousand desserts and snacks to be delivered to Shaw Towers tomorrow as employees’ condolences. If Chuzai needs anything, you can just ask grandma. Even if your second uncle doesn’t help you, grandma will be your backer, you know?”
“Thank you, grandma.” Li Chu was a little dizzy after being hit by the big order, and his heart felt warm. “Actually, the business in the store is pretty good, so there’s no need…”
The old lady looked at him angrily, “My dear grandson, do you still want to argue with grandma?”
If Li Chu’s identity was really Shao Chu, he might accept the old lady’s kindness without any burden.But he is not, and he is still sneaking together with his second uncle…
The guilt and shame made him feel like a little animal that stole happiness that was not his own.
The old lady put down her chopsticks and pinched Li Chu’s cheeks with a kind smile: “Don’t worry, dear grandson, grandma’s little treasury is so big that I won’t be able to spend it all in a few lifetimes. What’s this little money? Just think of it as a celebration for our young boy to become a boss boy!”
Li Chu’s eyebrows curved and he finally responded with a smile.
After finishing the meal, Shao Ting said little.
She was peeling shrimps and picking vegetables for Li Chu as usual, and asked Aunt Mei to serve him a bowl of green olivine dendrobium abalone soup. After letting it cool, she watched him drink it in small sips.
Somehow, Li Chu had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
After the meal, the two went upstairs. There was no one in the corridor, only a few warm orange wall lamps were on.
Li Chu followed Shao Tingyue and looked at his tall and straight back. The uneasiness in his heart bubbled up one by one like bubbles.
He took two quick steps and gently hugged the man’s waist from behind.
“Second uncle.” He put his face against Shao Tingyue’s back, and the joy he felt when he first came home was gone. “What’s wrong with you today? Are you too tired from work?”
Shao Tingyue paused.
He turned around and lowered his head, his focused and deep eyes falling on Li Chu’s raised face.
There was worry, anxiety, and a bit of innocent doubt on that face – he didn’t know what was going on, but he subconsciously knew he was trying to coax people.
His little friend is so well-behaved that it makes your heart tremble.
Completely unaware that his appearance will only make people’s possessiveness stronger and stronger, until they completely lose control——
Shao Tingyue held Li Chu’s hand, and slowly intertwined his fingers and tightened them.Then he leaned forward and placed a kiss on the child’s forehead.
“Have you finally remembered to care about your husband?” His voice was low, with a faint smile.
Li Chu’s face suddenly turned red and he licked his dry lips, “I have always cared about you. I just found the opportunity to ask you now.”
“Want to know why?”
Why are you still selling it off?Li Chu looked up at him and nodded helplessly.
“Then kiss me and I’ll tell you.”
The man’s dark eyes are like the night sky without stars, so deep that one can’t help but fall in love with him.
Here we go again.
Li Chu didn’t say anything, but took the initiative to stand on tiptoes and quickly pressed the corner of Shao Tingyue’s lips.
This was a kiss without any lust, it felt as soft as marshmallows, with the pure sweetness unique to teenagers.
He just lowered his eyes, and the light came from the side, casting a small shadow in his eye sockets.
“It’s nothing serious.” Shao Tingyue spoke calmly, and ran his fingertips over Li Chu’s soft lips, “It’s just that the Shao family has recently taken a fancy to a piece of land, and a short-sighted person wants to steal it from your husband.”
Every inch of Hong Kong Island has a lot of gold and every inch of land has never been a metaphor, but a reality.
This is one of the most expensive places in the world, and every inch of land is steeped in the atmosphere of capital.
A bungalow on the top of a mountain is a goal that generations of people have struggled to achieve throughout their lives. The rent for a one-foot office building in Central is enough for ordinary people to live for a whole year.
After Shaw Group decided to transform and develop real estate, many people smelled something unusual.
Countless people are jealous of everything the Shao family is doing now.
Light and dark, literary and military, one wave came after another.They were like sharks that smelled blood, circling around Shaw Brothers’ territory, waiting for an opportunity to bite off a piece of flesh.
Especially the one named Zhao, who already suffered a hidden loss when investing in land last year.They also secretly found people to go to the dock to cause trouble, and this time they overestimated their abilities and got into trouble with Shaw.
However, Shao Tingyue did not take this person seriously.
The man’s eyebrows were solemn and his tone was thoughtful: “No matter how tiring the work is, as long as BB is by my side, I’ll be fine.”
Li Chu bent his eyes, buried his face in his arms, and nuzzled him, like a kitten that had finally found a comfortable nest.
“Aren’t I always by your side?” He said in a low voice, with a bit of coquettishness in his voice, “I’ll report to you when I go to dinner, okay?”
Shao Tingyue let out a low “hmm”.
He lowered his head and hugged the boy, burying his face in his neck and sniffing deeply, “So bb is very good. You should always be so good and don’t hide anything from me.”
Li Chu nodded meekly in his arms, “Second uncle, if you have any troubles… you can tell me, although I may not be able to share anything… but it’s better for you to say it than to keep it in your heart.”
Shao Tingyue pecked his lips when he heard this: “Kiss your husband more and give him a hug.”
Children are his medicine. A kiss and a smile can cure all diseases.
Li Chu reached out and touched his frowning eyebrows, reflecting on whether he had ignored Shao Tingyue too much recently.
He was busy with the matter of opening a store with Wen Sitong, and even the exchange student’s application was put on hold. He didn’t have time to look at the information carefully when he got the information back, and he didn’t know if the registration deadline was yet.
“Let’s go take a shower first. bb has been busy all day, and his body smells of pineapple oil and egg tarts.” Shao Tingyue picked him up and walked back to the bedroom step by step with his buttocks in his hands.
…
In the private box of the club, the smell of sandalwood was mixed with the smell of cigars, and the smoke flowed slowly in the darkness.
Zhong Yili was wearing a casual shirt and an olive sweater. He was leaning on the sofa and swaying the whiskey in his glass boredly. The door was pushed open and Shao Tingyue walked in.
“Ask me out, I’m twenty minutes late,” Zhong Yili raised his wrist and tapped the surface, “Boss Ship King, do you think I’m your secretary?”
Shao Tingyue ignored him and sat down on the single sofa opposite him with his long legs crossed. He reached for the bottle of Macallan and poured himself half a glass.
Zhong Yili looked at him and raised his eyebrows.
Shao Tingyue drank three glasses in a row, then put the glass back on the table, and slowly rubbed his fingertips along the rim of the glass, with a cold face and said nothing, nor looked at him.
Zhong Yili’s eyebrows raised higher.
“…What’s wrong? I’m just late. I don’t have to punish myself with three drinks for coming up.” He stopped playing with the lighter, “Chu Zai wants to break up with you?”
There is such a tacit understanding between brothers.
Shao Tingyue finally raised his eyelids and glanced at him coldly.The look in his eyes looked like he wanted to stab someone.
Zhong Yili immediately raised his hands: “I was wrong, I was wrong, bah bah bah. Chuzai loves you very much. Chuzai will not abandon you. Chuzai will always only have you… okay?”
He stopped joking, adjusted his sitting posture, and leaned towards Shao Tingyue.
“What’s going on? It’s hard for me to guess unless you tell me.”
Shao Tingyue remained silent for a long time and drank a whole glass of wine before he said in a deep voice: “He wants to go to England.”
“England?” Zhong Yili was stunned, “What are you going to do in England? Travel?”
“…Exchange student.” Shao Tingyue picked up his wine glass and put it down again, “It lasts for five months.”
When he said these words, there was actually no expression on his face.But Zhong Yili had known him for more than twenty years, and he could tell at a glance that his brother was about to cry.
The gloom and gloom of “my wife wants to run away” and “my wife doesn’t want me anymore” can’t be covered up.There was also a hint of panic that he had never seen before. He wanted to call it panic.
No, is this still the Shao Tingyue he knows?
The leader of a top wealthy family was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. On Hong Kong Island, he has everything to do with the wind and rain.
As long as he hooks up with each other, many wealthy daughters from Hong Kong Island are lining up to marry into the Shao family, but now he is worried about gain and loss because of a boy.
Zhong Yili was silent for a few seconds, and then spoke after careful consideration: “…Isn’t this a good thing? The junior boy has good grades and can apply for an exchange at a prestigious school. That’s his ability. It’s not like he has been there for ten or eight years, just one semester, and he passed it in the blink of an eye.”
Shao Tingyue didn’t answer. He clenched the crystal angular cup in his hand and pursed his lips straight.
“You won’t…” Zhong Yili stared at his side face, and his heart skipped a beat, “You won’t allow him to go, right?”
Shao Tingyue remained silent, but his attitude was self-evident.
Zhong Yili put the wine glass on the table and said helplessly, “Ting Yue, you were not like this before.”
“You said that you should be measured in your life. Greedy people will eventually be unable to keep anything. You…” Zhong Yili paused and continued, “You said that you hate the kind of people who treat their partners as private property the most. They are selfish, short-sighted and ignorant.”
Shao Tingyue finished listening quietly, raised his eyes and looked at Zhong Yili, and said in a calm tone: “If Huo Zhiqing tells you now that the marriage is over and she wants to go abroad for further study, will you agree?”
Zhong Yili jumped up from the sofa.
“Don’t even think about it!”
“Even if she wants to go, she must marry me first and complete the ceremony!” Zhong Yili frowned and said confidently, “I will accompany her in person! Follow her 24 hours a day! I wait in the library when she is in class, and I wait downstairs when she is doing experiments. I will follow her wherever she goes. How can I go abroad and leave my husband by myself?!”
Shao Tingyue looked at him expressionlessly, his dark eyes dark.
Zhong Yili finally realized something, sat back and touched his nose.
“…In short, it just doesn’t work.” He muttered softly, avoiding Shao Tingyue’s eyes with a guilty conscience.
The two men fell silent at the same time.
They took a puff of the cigar at the same time, and the smoke slowly entangled in the air, and then dispersed.
For a long time, Zhong Yili spit out a mouthful of white mist and stared at him: “Then what if… what if Chu Tsai has to go? Is it possible that you can still lock him up?”
Shao Tingyue still didn’t speak.
For the first time, Zhong Yili felt a little helpless.
It’s not like he hasn’t seen Shao Ting get more ruthless.He has seen too many murderous decisions in shopping malls and iron-fisted methods in the family.But those ruthlessness is external, and it is the edge that those who stand in the wind and rain and steer the ship of the Shao family must have.
Shao Tingyue put the half cigar into the ashtray, stood up and straightened the hem of his suit. The metallic light of his watch flashed past in the dim light.
“It’s getting late, I’ll go back first. Chuzai won’t be able to sleep without me.”
Zhong Yili felt that the one who couldn’t sleep was his brother, so he held back his words.
“It’s a good thing that Chu Tsai can be an exchange student. It only lasts for a few months. Don’t push people too hard. You should leave some leeway, you know…”
Shao Tingyue turned a deaf ear, closed the door and left.
…
Li Chu fell asleep in a daze and was woken up by someone’s kiss in his dream.
He opened his eyes, and in the darkness a warm body pressed down and held him in his arms.
The embrace was so tight that it felt like it was rubbing him into his bones and blood, making him breathless.
The strong smell of alcohol hit his face.
“…Second uncle?” Li Chu, still feeling very sleepy, raised his hand to touch his tense shoulders and neck, “Why did you drink? How much did you drink?”
Shao Tingyue hummed softly and buried his face deeper into Li Chu’s neck, his lips pressed against the beating blood vessels, like a drowning man hugging the last piece of driftwood.
His breath was deep and hot, spraying on Li Chu’s skin, and his voice was deep: “…bb, I have a headache.”
