After Catching The Rich And Old-Fashioned Daddy Chapter 57
byChapter 58 Return to Hong Kong Daddy, is this enough money to pay off the debt?
Shao Tingyue’s eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the child, and he tightened his arms to hold the person in his arms more firmly.
He was tall and had brought bodyguards to clear the way. The chaotic crowd in the bar was blocked to one side, and no one dared to risk their lives to come over to block him.
Leaving the hot and noisy bar room, the dry and cold night wind of Las Vegas blew in my face.
Shao Tingyue put Li Chu into the back seat of the car, and then sat in himself.
The car door closed with a bang, and the whole world became quiet, and all the noise was cut off.
“Second uncle…” Li Chu couldn’t help but ask, “When did you come to the United States?”
“I got off the plane half an hour ago.” The man glanced at him and turned on the lights in the car.
Shao Tingyue was wearing a dusty black coat, underneath was his usual three-piece suit.Her hair was combed back meticulously, and her eyes were a little bloodshot.
The young man blinked, “How did you know I was here?”
“What do you think?” the man asked quietly.
Li Chu: “…”
He suddenly felt that his question was a bit unnecessary.
The driver belongs to the second uncle, and Mingchen is the second uncle’s nephew. It is estimated that from the moment he left Los Angeles, his every step was under the second uncle’s sight.
It is no exaggeration to say that fortunately it was the 1980s and technology was so advanced.If there was such a thing as a positioner, my second uncle would definitely install it for him as soon as possible.
Shao Tingyue said no more. A big palm lifted his chin and turned his face towards the light.His brows furrowed slightly, and his pupils scanned his forehead, eyes, bridge of nose inch by inch, looking at every detail carefully.
Li Chu felt a little uncomfortable when he saw him and whispered: “Second uncle, I’m fine…”
Shao Tingyue turned a deaf ear and rolled up the young man’s sleeves, revealing two thin white wrists and forearms, and looked at them carefully.Then he turned his body away, lifted his collar and looked at the back of his neck.Finally, he held his ankles and checked both feet.
“Second uncle…” Li Chu blushed, feeling like a small animal being picked up and examined all over: “I’m really fine, no one hit me…”
Shao Tingyue finally stopped.
He raised his head and looked at the rosy little face, the cheek gently caressed by his palm.”Really? It was such a mess just now. Did those people touch you?”
Li Chu shook his head. He had been bumped a few times, but he was not injured. He was not made of paper.
Shao Ting looked at him more and more, his eyes finally softened a little.
Then he clasped Li Chu’s cheek with his palm, and pressed his chin with his fingertips to force him to open his mouth.
The boy didn’t know why, but he did it anyway.
The man came closer, with the tip of his nose almost touching his slightly open mouth, and took a deep sniff.
A little sweet and fresh orange flavor, no alcohol smell.
Li Chu was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, his ears turned red, and he muttered in a low voice: “I really only drank orange juice. I didn’t touch a sip of the wine they ordered. Ming Chen can testify to that!”
“Well, does bb orange juice taste good?”
The man lowered his eyes and looked at the young man’s moist lips. His lips moved when he spoke, which was very cute.
“It’s okay…”
Shao Tingyue lowered his head and kissed her. The taste of orange juice was still in his mouth, as light and sweet as the child himself.
Li Chu was kissed so hard that he closed his eyes. They were separated for several days, and their bodies missed each other.
After the long kiss ended, the man let him go and sat on his lap.
Li Chu couldn’t help but ask, “Why did the second uncle come here? Didn’t you say it would take another week?”
Shao Tingyue’s dark eyes reflected the light, and his tone was low: “My husband is really worried about my children and their friends going to play in such a far away place.”
He couldn’t help but frown a little as he spoke, and he was still a little scared after thinking about it. Fortunately, he came over early.
Li Chu raised his eyelashes and glanced at him, a little dissatisfied: “What are you talking about?”
Before he finished speaking, someone tapped the glass a few times, and Shao Ting lowered the window.
Ming Chen stood outside the car with a rare tense look on his face.His eyes first fell on Li Chu to make sure he was okay, and then he looked at Shao Tingyue.
“Second uncle.” He spoke, his voice a little bitter.
Mingchen also didn’t expect that such a big thing would happen after being away for a while.
Shao Tingyue nodded slightly and said nothing. After all, nothing happened to Chu Tsai.Ming Chen is his nephew, so this matter is indeed a bit derelict.
“You’re tired too. Go back to the hotel and rest first. I’ve been shopping in Las Vegas these days. It’s almost time to go back to Hong Kong. The old lady is waiting for you at home.”
Mingchen responded, looking at Li Chu with a hint of apology in his eyes, and then left.
Li Chu looked at Shao Tingyue and felt that the atmosphere between his uncle and nephew was not good, so he whispered to smooth things over: “Second uncle, I don’t blame Ming Chen, it’s that James…”
“Woo–Woo–”
The piercing siren sounded from far away, and soon the door of the bar was surrounded by police cars.
The red and blue lights flashed, and the crowd was dispersed to both sides. After the police entered, they quickly brought out a few people. Jack, who was in a state of embarrassment, was pushed away by the police dejectedly, and James, whose head had been shot, was put on a stretcher.
The few remaining classmates stood nearby with panic-stricken expressions on their faces, and kept saying something.
“Second Uncle——” Li Chu turned to look at Shao Tingyue, with uncontrollable panic in his eyes.
Shao Tingyue rubbed his head: “Don’t worry, I will arrange for someone to solve it.
He called Cheng Du and asked him to book the nearest flight to Las Vegas immediately.
Cheng Du said something there, and Shao Tingyue said a faint “hmm” and hung up the phone.
…
The car drove all the way to the hotel. The hotel Li Chu originally booked was another hotel. The environment and location were not as good as this one, and the price was more affordable.
You can tell it’s very expensive at first glance. The elevator is exclusive and can go directly to the penthouse suite.
As soon as he entered the door, Li Chu realized that his luggage had also been moved here, but he didn’t have time to examine the matter in detail. He was preoccupied with worrying about Jack being taken away.
He whispered, “Second uncle, what will happen to Jack?You won’t be locked up, right?Can we bail him out?No matter how much you want…”
“Do you still care about others?”Shao Tingyue went to find his underwear first, then slipped the person into the bathroom, frowned and said: “You smell like a bar.”
Li Chu was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and smelled himself. It seemed that there was a bit of smoke and perfume mixed with it.
The bathroom shower was turned on, and Li Chu stood under it, his eyes narrowed by the hot water.The man’s palm was soaked in shower gel, and he started washing it from the back of his neck down little by little.
Only then did he notice that there was a small bruise on the boy’s shoulder. It was probably caused by someone hitting him in the bar. Although the area was not large, it was very conspicuous on the skin.
Li Chu didn’t take it seriously: “Second uncle, it’s okay, I don’t feel any pain at all.”
Shao Ting’s eyes deepened as he looked at the bruises.After a quick shower, he wrapped the person in a bath towel and put him on the bed. Then he called someone to deliver medicine.
The hotel waiter quickly knocked on the door and handed over the ointment respectfully. Without daring to look at anything else, he lowered his head and left quickly.
“BB, come here and apply medicine.”
Li Chu sat down obediently and let the man carefully apply the ointment to him with his eyes lowered. He rubbed the warm fingertips in circles on the skin and rubbed the ointment in little by little.
In fact, it really didn’t hurt much, but the second uncle looked in his eyes as if it was something big.
After applying the medicine, Li Chu nestled in Shao Tingyue’s arms, his eyelids already starting to fight.
After sitting in the car for several hours and a chaos in the bar, he exhausted his little energy. His whole figure was like a doll with low battery, with droopy ears and eyelids hanging on the man’s body.
The young man closed and opened his eyes, opened and closed them again, not knowing what he was holding on to.
“Why aren’t you sleeping yet, waiting for news about Cheng Du?”Shao Tingyue’s voice came from above his head.
Li Chu nodded and rubbed his cheek against his chest.
Jack was still locked up…and this incident was all caused by him, so how could he sleep peacefully?
Has Cheng Du arrived? How long did it take to fly over from Los Angeles?
If I remember correctly, it seemed less than an hour…
“Okay, you can rest assured that Cheng Du is doing things.Shao Tingyue stroked his back with his palm, “He has been living in the United States for more than ten years and has never seen anyone from New York to Los Angeles.””
Li Chu blinked and felt a little relieved.
Shao Tingyue lowered his head and looked at the sleepy little face in his arms.A light on the bedside was on, and the light fell on his cheek, and the fine hairs were clearly visible.
“bb.”
“Hmm…” Li Chu’s last voice sounded sleepy.
“You haven’t told your husband how you met James, and why did you quarrel with him?The man hugged the person and adjusted his position so that he could be more comfortable: “What did he say?””
Li Chu yawned and squeezed out tears, like a sleepy kitten: “He just recognized me, and then said some… unpleasant things.”
“What words?”The man asked.
Li Chu was silent for a moment, and probably said it briefly, omitting the particularly unpleasant ones.
Shao Tingyue looked obviously unconvinced and continued to ask: “What else?”
“And what you said about you…” Li Chu put his arms around his neck and his voice became smaller and smaller: “You said you had ruined his life, and you said that his friends’ lives were uncertain… You said you were not a good person, and you asked me if I was afraid of you…”
“Then what do you think?Shao Tingyue was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice, “Aren’t you afraid?””
Li Chu tried hard to open his eyes, feeling that this question was boring: “What is there to be afraid of about my own husband?Besides, wouldn’t it be better if his evil deeds were eliminated?I don’t know how many people will be harmed if I stay outside. My husband is doing harm to the people!”
Shao Tingyue paused for a moment, then hugged him tighter: “BB, say it again.”
“What did you say?”
“Tell me about my husband.”
Li Chu was stunned for a moment, buried his face in the man’s neck, and said in a muffled voice: “…my husband.”
Shao Tingyue lowered his head and left kisses on his face one after another: “Say it again.”
The two hugged and chatted for a while, but the boy finally couldn’t hold on any longer and fell asleep in his arms.
…
Early the next morning, Cheng Du showed up at the hotel.
Not long after Li Chugang woke up, he was sitting on the sofa drinking milk. When he saw him, his eyes suddenly lit up!
Shao Tingyue lowered the corner of his lips and turned his cheek back. He didn’t like Li Chu looking at other men like this, especially in front of him.
“Things over at the bar have been taken care of.Cheng Du looked like he hadn’t slept all night, but he was still in a calm state: “Those students were released this morning.”The bar’s surveillance showed that they were the ones who made the first move, but it was self-defense, and witnesses testified that it was James who made the first provocation, so the police did not pursue the case.”
“As for James, the police found a small amount of hard drugs on him last night.His state was very suspicious.The police followed the clues and found more in the hotel room where he stayed, enough to sentence him to several years.”
Li Chu blinked, but he didn’t expect that James actually knocked.
The United States in the 1980s was the period when the proliferation of DU drugs was most serious.But it is precisely because of this that the police crack down on DU products with alarming intensity.Especially in a tourist city like Las Vegas, if you are caught, you will be severely punished.
Cheng Du turned to look at Li Chu and said with a smile: “Several of your friends have gone back to the hotel to rest, and they asked me to tell you not to worry.”
Li Chu finally felt relieved, remembering that Jack stood in front of him this time…
“Second uncle, can you apologize to Jack?The young man looked straight at him with clear eyes: “Last time he was accidentally hit and suffered a slight fracture. Did you find someone to do it?”He is a good man and you should sincerely apologize to him,”
Shao Tingyue’s eyebrows moved slightly, his dark eyes were cold, and he didn’t feel that he had done anything wrong at all: “BB, I really don’t like him hanging around with you.One code leads to the other, I will arrange for someone to thank him properly for this matter.”
The implication was that he would not apologize. Li Chu was so angry that he didn’t want to talk to him all day.
However, men have many ways to make him talk.
The young man’s eyes were as dizzy as the sunset on the beach, and his little face wrinkled up: “Second uncle, I’m not angry anymore, really…”
Shao Ting felt that the child’s delicate and timid appearance on him was so cute, but he couldn’t bear to really cry with anger at him. Finally, he leaned over and kissed his sweaty forehead, promising that he would do his best to make up for it, but only this time.
The next time he dares to get too close to Li Chu and put his arms around him, it won’t be as simple as a broken bone.
They were in Las Vegas for a week.
The city is like a huge toy city, day and night are two completely different worlds.
The desert roads under the sun stretch as far as the eye can see, and palm trees sway in the heat. When night falls, the whole city seems to be on fire, with neon signs dazzlingly bright.
Li Chu also spent his twentieth birthday here.Looking back on everything that has happened in this era, it has happened so quickly in the blink of an eye.
Fireworks were bright in the night sky. Shao Ting lowered his head to kiss the boy in his arms. Time seemed to have no trace on him, just like when he first met on the streets of Yau Ma Tei.
He is a gift from fate to himself, a precious gift from the sky.
A week later, they returned to Hong Kong Island.
When the plane descended slowly through the clouds, Li Chu couldn’t help but lie on the porthole and look down.
Victoria Harbor shone with sparkling waves in the sun, and huge cargo ships shuttled across the sea, dragging out long tail waves.The high-rise buildings in Central now stand with gleaming glass curtain walls.The bustling streets are bustling with traffic, and red double-decker trams jingle through them.
Hong Kong in the 1980s was as vibrant as ever. After being gone for so long, he finally returned.
On the way back to Shao’s mansion, Li Chu was a little nervous. When he was in the United States, he often called the old lady, but it was different over the phone and face to face.
The car stopped steadily at the entrance of the mansion, and Uncle Ming was already waiting on the front steps.When he saw Li Chu coming down, his eyes lit up and he hurried up to meet him.
“Master Xiaochu is back!”
Li Chu smiled and called Uncle Ming, and couldn’t help but reach out and hug him. Uncle Ming was also a little emotional, and temporarily put aside his professional ethics as a housekeeper and hugged him back.
Despite his age, his eyes were wet, and Aunt Mei was also wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
In the living room, the old lady was sitting on the imperial chair.Wearing a particularly grand purple-patterned cheongsam, she stretched her neck to look at the door while arranging her hair.
As soon as he raised his head, he saw the little person he had been thinking about day and night running in, and then threw himself into his arms, with a beautiful little face full of tears: “Grandma…”
The old lady stretched out her hand, held his face tremblingly, and looked at him for a long time, “Why is my good grandson bb so thin? Is it that the Americans are not used to eating?”
Li Chu didn’t want to see people worried, so he shook his head and wiped his tears: “Grandma, my second uncle hired a cook for me. I have to eat seriously every day.”
“You are still suffering outside…” The old lady also shed tears, “Do you blame grandma for insisting on letting you study abroad? Isn’t it good to just stay in Hong Kong Island and stay with me… I really regret it sometimes…”
Li Chu was hugged by her, “Grandma, I did really well in the United States, and I learned a lot. I finished the course very quickly…”
The old lady patted his back, her voice choked with sobs, “It doesn’t matter whether you learned something or not, as long as you come back safe and healthy.”
The grandfather and grandson hugged each other and cried for a long time.
Shao Tingyue stood aside and watched this scene without saying a word.
After a long time, the old lady let go of Li Chu, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and returned to her usual appearance.
She glanced at the handsome bastard son next to her and said, “Ting Yue, you go out first. I have something to say to Chu Tsai alone.”
Shao Tingyue frowned slightly, pressed the corners of his lips downward for a moment, and stood still.
Uncle Ming and Aunt Mei looked a little nervous when they saw this scene.During this period of time, the relationship between the second young master and the old lady has not been good. Although the two mother and son seem to be quite calm on the surface, they are actually angry about the matter of young master Xiaochu, and they rarely sit together and talk.
Shao Tingyue’s voice was calm, but his eyes were looking at Li Chu opposite: “Mother, if you have anything to say, it doesn’t matter if you say it in front of me,”
The old lady looked at him and frowned, seeing how worthless he was!Watching people so closely!Not willing to let go for a while!
He coaxed Chu Tsai to register their marriage in the United States. The rice has already been cooked. Is it possible that he can force them to divorce?What an injustice!
The mother and son faced off for several seconds.
Li Chu looked at this and that, a little at a loss: “Second uncle, grandma… please don’t be like this, okay? Don’t quarrel.”
The old lady finally sighed and was defeated. She turned her head and held Li Chu’s hand, “Chu Zai, grandma wants to ask you, have you really thought about getting married?”
The air was quiet for a moment, and for some reason, Li Chu looked at Shao Tingyue subconsciously.
The man stood there, his expression still calm.However, something was surging in those deep sea-like black eyes, and he was also waiting for the answer.
The ship king who was making decisive moves in the shopping mall, the man at the helm of Shaw Brothers who was able to change everything, was so nervous at this moment because of just one word.
Li Chu looked at her with a serious expression: “Grandma, I have thought about it carefully…”
Although he only knew that he was getting married half an hour before the wedding.But this decision was not hasty. It should be said that he had thought about it a long time ago.
The old lady sighed quietly in her heart, looking at Li Chu with distress, reluctance, and even more unspeakable emotions in her eyes.
“Okay, as long as Chuzi feels happy.” She stretched out her hand and put the boy into her arms again, “Grandma… I wish you a happy wedding and a long life together.”
Li Chu was hugged by her, and his eyes became hot again.
…
Only a few days after returning to Shao Mansion, Li Chu’s complexion became rosy visibly.In the kitchen, various nourishing soups and sugar water are stewed in different ways every day. Bird’s nest, fish maw, and ginseng are used in turn, for fear that he will not regain the few pounds of meat he lost in the United States.
The servants in the mansion are also gradually adapting to the fact that Master Xiaochu has become the “Second Young Master”.
Shocked for sure, but no one dared to comment.
Anyone who can work in Shao Mansion knows what propriety means.We have seen a lot of secrets of wealthy families. We must keep our mouth tight and our eyes blind. This is the foundation of a good life.
Li Chu took the time to meet Wen Sitong.
There are still people coming and going in the ice room, the posters on the glass door have been changed several times, and the new desserts are very tempting.
Wen Sitong is busy behind the cashier.
When he looked up, he saw Li Chu pushing the door open and almost dropped the things in his hands to the ground.
“Xiao Chu?!”
She ignored the people in the store and immediately rushed out, grabbed Li Chu’s shoulders, and looked him over.
“You, you… where have you been for the past six months?!” Her voice was trembling. “You just left without any news. Do you know how worried I am?!”
Li Chu was a little dizzy from being shaken by her, and quickly held down her hand: “Sister Sitong, I’m fine, I’m fine…”
“Okay?” Wen Sitong’s eyes were red and he was a little angry: “Do you know that I asked for news about you everywhere, and even went to ask everyone!”
“Sister Sitong…” Li Chu held her hand with an apology on his face: “I’m sorry for making you worry.”
He left in a hurry at first, and he didn’t dare to let too many people know about it, and he was even more afraid of causing trouble to Wen Sitong.
Wen Sitong poked his forehead: “Silly boy! Why are you apologizing to me? I know you must have some reasons… Mr. Shao sent someone to guard my place every day. He didn’t come in or make trouble, just stare. At first I thought I had offended someone, but later I found out you were gone…”
She looked at Li Chu with complicated eyes: “He wants to find out about you through me, but I don’t know either… You really hid it too closely!”
Li Chu didn’t know what to say. He hadn’t said anything about his marriage yet…
Wen Sitong took a deep breath, suppressed those emotions, and pulled him to find a booth to sit down: “Okay, okay, just come back. Just wait, I will get you something.”
She turned around and went into the inner room. After a while, she came out holding an iron box.
“Xiaochu, this is for you.”
Li Chu opened it and found a passbook inside.
“Since you have been away for more than half a year, we have opened three more ice houses.” Wen Sitong sat down opposite him, with a hint of pride in his voice, “This one in Wan Chai is the main store, then the second one in Causeway Bay, and now with the ones in Tsim Sha Tsui and Yau Ma Tei, we have a total of five Sweet First Love Ice Rooms in Hong Kong Island.”
Li Chu opened his eyes wide and sparkling.
“Business is so good that we line up every day.” Wen Sitong said with a smile, “I have applied all the things you taught me back then, such as standardization and employee training. Now I don’t need to keep an eye on the store every day, and the store can still run.”
After saying that, she pointed to the passbook: “This is your dividend. The money earned by each store is in it. I saved it for you without touching a penny.”
Li Chu opened his bankbook, glanced at the numbers on it, and was stunned.
It’s actually seven digits!!!
Sister Sitong, who cried to death because of the scumbag, is now wearing a clean apron, looking energetic, and talking about her business in a clear and logical manner.And his eyes are full of hope for the future.
Li Chu suddenly felt that his eyes were getting sore again. He cried a lot during his return to Hong Kong: “Sister Sitong…”
Wen Sitong reached out and rubbed his hair.”Why are you crying, silly boy! When my sister continues to open a store and make a lot of money, we two siblings will have whatever we want!”
…
When Shao Tingyue returned to No. 12 Repulse Bay, it was already dark.
The warm yellow light fell on Li Chu. He was wearing light blue home clothes. He was sitting in the corner of the sofa with a book spread out on his knees.
Shao Tingyue stood there and watched for a few seconds, his heart was so soft.
It felt good to have someone waiting for him at home.
He threw his suit jacket aside, walked over, picked up the person on the sofa, and sat on his lap.
Li Chu dropped all his books: “Second uncle——”
Shao Ting lowered his head and kissed him seriously before asking him: “BB went out today, what did you talk about with Wen Sitong?”
Li Chu was so stunned by his kiss that he reacted for a moment before remembering.
By the way, he wanted to ask about this.
The young man sat up straight in the man’s arms, stared at him and called him by his first name, “Shao, Ting, Yue! You sent someone to monitor Sister Sitong, that’s too much!”
Shao Tingyue paused for a moment and gradually frowned: “So what?”
Li Chu didn’t expect him to be so calm about what he did, and was a little choked for a moment.
“You, why are you not embarrassed at all?”
“BB.” Shao Ting hugged the person in his arms tightly and looked at him deeply with his dark eyes, “You left without saying a word. Where did you go? Who was you with? I don’t know anything about whether you were in danger or not. I searched all the places I could and checked all the people I could. Wen Sitong has such a good relationship with you. I thought that even if you didn’t see me, you would at least contact her…”
Li Chu silently shut up again, leaned back into the man’s arms, and rested his face on his shoulder.
“Then you can’t do this again. It won’t happen again.”
Shao Tingyue patted his back gently with his palm and said in a low voice: “BB, as long as you don’t run away, I won’t. But if you don’t behave again…”
He couldn’t guarantee that he would accomplish anything.
The two chatted about other topics in a tacit understanding, and mentioned that Wen Sitong had opened several ice rooms.
“Sister Sitong is so awesome, she even saved me dividends.” The young man’s voice was filled with emotion. He took out the passbook from his pocket and handed it to Shao Tingyue: “Second uncle, look at it!”
Shao Tingyue took it and opened it, his eyes falling on the number.For a self-made woman like Wen Sitong, such achievements are truly astonishing. He did underestimate her at first.
Li Chu tilted his head and looked at him. Suddenly he remembered something, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes: “Second uncle?”
“Huh?”
“Do you still remember the score you settled with me before?”
Shao Ting lowered his eyes to look at him, and something bad flashed in his heart: “What’s the account?”
“Second uncle, you won’t forget it so quickly, right? Equipment fees, education fees, pocket money, security fees…” Li Chu’s eyelashes fluttered and he counted on his fingers, “And that bottle of Romanée-Conti costing 400,000 yuan.”
Shao Tingyue gradually frowned.
Li Chu raised his bright eyes and looked at him, “At that time, you said you would give me a half discount, do you remember?”
Shao Tingyue became silent after listening.
Li Chu thrust the bankbook into his hand and said with a smile, “Second uncle? Daddy? Is the money enough to repay it?”
The man’s handsome face, which had always been cold and indifferent, suddenly flashed with panic, and his voice was deep: “bb, I am your husband, what do you and I know so well?”
