After Catching The Rich And Old-Fashioned Daddy Chapter 60
byChapter 61 Lying Sick Child
Li Chu was a little confused by the kiss. He stared at him blankly for a moment before realizing what the man meant.
His face turned red: “Second uncle, you, you…” Aren’t you eating cake… How did you suddenly get involved in this?
“Sorry, did you scare me?”
Shao Ting took a deep breath and slowly moved his eyes to the young man’s plump and beautiful lips. He was extremely patient in this regard, like a beast that was good at hunting.
The young man looked soft under the light and was wearing pajamas, like a holy and beautiful little angel.
He knew very well how much Shao Tingyue liked him. He always kissed him and sniffed him, wishing he could melt into his heart.
The young man thought seriously for a moment, then took the initiative to put his arms around the man’s neck and kissed him on the lips.
“Okay, Daddy.”
Shao Tingyue’s breathing suddenly became heavier, and the palm on his lower back suddenly tightened.
…
The family dinner at Shao Mansion a few days later.
The luxurious high-ceiling restaurant is brightly lit, and antique vases filled with plump peonies can be seen everywhere.
Shao Qixin sat next to the main seat, looking at the sumptuous food in front of him, his mood was as complicated as if he had knocked over a five-flavor bottle.
He has always had little control over the affairs of his eldest brother’s house, because his nephew Shao Tingyue has been a standard heir to a wealthy family since he was a child.Be prudent and decisive in handling matters.He took over the family business at a young age and took charge of the entire Shaw Brothers at the age of thirty.He is decisive in the market and advances and retreats in the overall situation, and there is never any mistake.
He has only been satisfied with this nephew in these years.
But who would have thought that such a perfect pronoun would be with a boy!
He even went to the United States to get the certificate regardless!
Shao Qixin picked up the tea cup and took a sip, trying to keep his expression calm.
The family tradition of the Shao family, the reputation accumulated over generations, is just like this…
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but put down his teacup and frowned.
It’s not that he’s old-fashioned, what will outsiders think of the Shao family if this kind of thing spreads?What about family inheritance?Originally, the number of people in the main room was thin, but now it is even more…
His eyes moved to Li Chu.
The young man is sitting at the dining table. Today he is wearing a beige sweater that shows off his complexion, and a light pink shirt underneath. The collar is turned out a little, which makes his face clean and soft.The material of the sweater is particularly soft, making him look plush and soft, with a naturally soft and waxy temperament.
He is a good boy, and he doesn’t have to choose his appearance, but he is the wrong gender.
Shao Tingyue sat next to him, serving him food as if no one else was watching, and then lowered his eyes and talked to him from time to time. His tone was very gentle, and he said some very detailed things, such as not eating too much seafood, and letting the soup cool before drinking it.
Shao Qixin’s eyelids twitched. He had lived for most of his life. When had he ever seen his nephew look like this?
Shao Mingzhu, who was sitting opposite, was already extremely red.
She lowered her head and tried her best to scoop the rice into her mouth, but she couldn’t help but peek at Chu Tsai and her second brother from the corner of her eye.
When they were sneaky in the past, she felt that the ambiguity between the two people was exaggerated. Now that they were aboveboard, their lethality doubled.
And she discovered something magical: the auras of the first son and the second brother became more and more similar.
It’s like…it’s marinated in flavor
A family dinner with a somewhat awkward atmosphere was coming to an end. The two beads had eaten early and ran off to play, while the servants were serving desserts.
Shao Tingyue slowly wiped the child’s mouth and fingers with a hot towel.
Shao Qixin couldn’t stand it anymore and turned his eyes away to Ming Chen on the other side of the table.
This grandnephew who had just been found was one of the few comforts.He has a calm demeanor and a calm temperament, and his eyebrows and eyes reveal the unique maturity and prudentness of the Shao family.Although he doesn’t talk much, he still has a lot of etiquette.
Shao Qixin looked at it and finally felt a little calmer in his heart.
This child is a member of the Shao family at first glance.There is nothing wrong with his appearance, temperament, and conversation.If you train him well in the future, he will definitely be an excellent heir.
On the other side of the big house, we are finally not in ruins.
As for Shao Tingyue… he glanced at it but had no choice but to look away.
That’s all, I can’t control my age.
…
After the vacation, Li Chu returned to Los Angeles.
Jack and his team’s project has made progress, and they have actually secured an investment.Several young people were so excited that they almost turned off the roof of their apartment. They registered the company overnight and began to test the waters to promote the writing aid.
The mid-1980s was the golden age when personal computers began to spread around the world.
The IBM PC, designed and launched in Florida, has taken over offices, and WordStar and WordPerfect have become the two top word processing software.But for users who are new to computers, writing is still a big pain point.In particular, functions such as spell check, grammar correction, and format adjustment are very troublesome to use.
Jack’s tools are designed to solve this problem.
Li Chu was dragged by Jack to participate in several computer science forums after class.
It’s called a forum, but it’s actually a small technical exchange meeting where developers and programmers from different companies sit together to share the latest technology trends and discuss industry trends.
Many investors will mix in the crowd, listen attentively, and then hand out their business cards.
Li Chu met many like-minded people on these occasions.Some of them are working on databases, some are studying graphical interfaces, which are what later generations call computer interactions such as icons and menu operations, and some are tinkering with artificial intelligence.
The world is big.
Even though he comes from the 21st century, he knows how technology will change the world in the future.But when he stands here and sees with his own eyes how people of this era are full of energy and move towards the future step by step, he will still be deeply shocked.
The Shaw Group’s new round of business expansion is in full swing.
Two new international shipping routes have been opened, and real estate investment projects are popping up everywhere.And Shao Tingyue is getting busier and busier, with various schedules tightly packed.
I arrive at the company in the morning to deal with documents first, and then there are endless high-level meetings.In the afternoon, I went to the construction site to inspect and meet with the partners, and then returned to the company to continue the meeting.In the evening, there are various business entertainments, dinner parties and cocktail parties.The global situation is changing rapidly, and private meetings with Hong Kong political officials are inevitable.
Liang Wei goes in and out every day without ever touching the ground.Not only do you have to report on your daily schedule, host meetings, and go to construction sites.We must also pay close attention to Master Xiaochu’s situation on the other side of the ocean. If there is any trouble, we must pay attention immediately.
What impressed him even more was that his boss never stopped making overseas phone calls no matter how busy he was.
They are more of a companionship than just chatting on the phone.Just hang up the phone quietly, listening to the other person’s breathing, the sound of turning pages of documents, feeling the other person’s presence, and occasionally saying a word or two.
Li Chu went to another developer exchange meeting today.
Most of the people who came were Chinese, and a few were from Hong Kong Island.Occasionally, one or two sentences in Cantonese would come up during the communication, which made Li Chu feel very friendly.
The chat was very pleasant, and before leaving, they invited Li Chu to have dinner with them at a nearby Chinese restaurant.
Li Chu struggled for a while, but still declined: “The elders in the family have strict control and are not allowed to eat outside.”
After hearing this, the group looked at each other.
This young man looks to be in his early twenties. He came to the exchange meeting independently. He has a lot of insights into the computer industry. He seems to be a young man who can make a career outside. But he said that his family does not allow eating outside?
Li Chu felt a little embarrassed by them, so he had to explain: “Actually, my aunt at home cooked my food, so I had to go back to eat. Besides, if I go back half an hour late, I guess the phone call will come…”
He stopped in time, swallowed the words “my husband” and said, “Hit my elders.”
Someone missed the point and couldn’t help but ask: “Do you have someone at home who cooks for you?”
Labor is so expensive in Los Angeles, USA, that international students do it themselves when they come out, saving whatever they can.What kind of family can afford a nanny?
Li Chu nodded and didn’t think there was anything wrong: “Well, Auntie is from Guangdong and her cooking is delicious.”
Several people exchanged glances, wondering if he was bragging.
As a result, everyone fell silent when they saw Li Chu getting into a Rolls-Royce before leaving.What is the background of the other party? He is the young master of which top wealthy family in Hong Kong?
As soon as Li Chu returned home, his aunt greeted him.
“Master Xiaochu is back?”
“Well, hello aunt, the dress you are wearing today is very beautiful!”
The young man spoke with a crooked eyebrow as he walked through the courtyard path. The peonies in the flower bed were in bloom, with huge flower bulbs and layers of pink and white petals.
Auntie smiled happily after being praised by him, and followed him in the door: “Today, we stewed fish maw chicken soup at home. It simmered for four hours on low heat. You can drink two more bowls later… I also made your favorite bird’s nest stewed eggs in the refrigerator. You can eat a little before going to bed. By the way, I also made three fresh snacks…”
Li Chu’s eyes lit up when he heard this. This aunt was very good at making Chaos. The skin was thin and the filling was big. The skin of Chaos was as thin as paper, and it looked transparent when cooked.
The aunt served him some food and let it cool, cut some post-dinner fruit for him, and then left.
While Li Chu was eating, he called Shao Tingyue. The call was quickly answered, and a deep male voice came: “BB, are you back home?”
The young man couldn’t help but smile when he heard the man’s words, his beautiful eyebrows as vivid as a kitten.Then he started talking about what he had seen during the day.The phone was still on until I finished eating and taking a shower.
“…Then the person who makes the database said that all companies will need data management in the next ten years. His architecture design is really beautiful…”
Shao Ting leaned further back in the chair and rubbed his brows.
Imagine a home in Los Angeles. The boy has just taken a shower. He is wearing soft and comfortable pajamas. His white feet are curled up on the bed. His hair should still be half dry, with a few strands sticking up unruly.
“And the one who works on artificial intelligence,” the young man yawned slightly, his voice a bit lazy: “He said that computers will be able to understand human language within five years. Do you believe it, uncle? But their demo is really powerful…”
Shao Tingyue said “Hmm” after hearing this: “In the past two years, the U.S. government’s anti-monopoly split of AT&T gave birth to a large number of communication technology companies. Now capital has begun to flow into the computer field. In these forums you participate in, the people standing behind them are all venture capitalists,”
There was a rustling sound coming from the other side, probably because the boy changed his position, and the voice became increasingly blurry: “Well… how do you know, second uncle?”
Shao Tingyue picked up his coffee and took a sip, “The most important thing in doing business is the direction of the wind and business opportunities. The real value of this kind of technology exchange meeting is actually the information exchanged in the audience.”
But the children are still young, and they have a lot of enthusiasm, as simple as a blank piece of paper.He might as well not understand the sinister rules of this world.
He was glad that he could be the boy’s strongest supporter.
There is no need to look at anyone’s face, and there is no need to win over anyone to invest.
There was a rustling sound on the other end of the phone. It was Li Chu who was lying in a more comfortable position.
“My husband is so awesome, he knows everything…” The sleepiness in the young man’s voice became more and more intense, and the last part of his voice was long and drawn out. You can imagine his droopy eyelids.
Shao Ting curled his lips and said in a low voice, “Has your hair been dried?”
“Well, I blew it…”
“Really?”
“Really, the end of my hair is still a little bit wet, I just need to put it to one side…”
Shao Tingyue closed his eyes helplessly. He really wanted to take a plane and spank him hard right now: “BB, next time you are not allowed to lie down without drying your hair. Do you understand?”
“…Hmm.”
The sound gradually disappeared from the other end.
Shao Tingyue didn’t hang up the phone, just sat quietly, listening to the boy’s even and long breathing.
…
In mid-April, Easter comes.
The weather has warmed up in Los Angeles, the sun is shining outside and the streets are filled with Easter decorations.Easter eggs and rabbits are all displayed in the windows of every house.
The Easter Hat Parade is a traditional event in Los Angeles and is attended by many people every year.
This event is also very interesting. Everyone wears all kinds of fancy hats and takes to the streets. The streets are crowded with people and there is an exciting and warm atmosphere everywhere.
Jack came to see him early in the morning and gave him an exaggerated hat.
“Quick, quick, put it on, put it on!” He gave Li Chu his hat with excitement on his face: “The hat parade starts at ten o’clock. If it’s later, we won’t be able to get in!”
Li Chu looked at the hat in his hand and couldn’t help but smile.
It was a hat in the shape of a rabbit, with two long ears standing upright. The insides of the ears were made of light pink velvet, and there was a circle of small easter eggs wrapped around the brim.
Silly, yet kind of cute.
“Li! What do you think of me?” Jack proudly showed off his hat. There was a fake marmot lying on the top of the hat. It barked when the tail was pulled, which looked very funny.
Li Chu laughed out loud: “What the hell are you doing?”
“Li, you don’t understand! This is art!”
“Okay…very funny art, hope you stand out haha!”
They soon came to the parade section, and Li Chu was pulled by Jack and squeezed into the crowd.
This kind of parade is crowded and a mixed bag of people.Shao Tingyue doesn’t really like children to participate.What should I do if someone squeezes me in and something unexpected happens?
But the young man kept teasing him at home for several days, acting like a spoiled child and kissing him on the phone.
In the end the man could only reluctantly agree.
Li Chu felt that everyone in Los Angeles was here, and the atmosphere was particularly warm.
There was a little girl dressed up as an Easter egg. He found it interesting and couldn’t help but look at it a few more times. Suddenly he felt his backpack being tugged.
Li Chu turned around subconsciously, one hand taking something out of his half-open bag.
“Hey!”
A clear voice sounded from the side.
The hand retracted suddenly, and a figure pushed away from the crowd and ran away quickly.A thief in a dark coat quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Li Chu turned his head and saw a young man standing next to him.
She has light brown hair, dark green eyes, and mixed-race facial features that are as beautiful as a model from a magazine.
Wearing a white sweatshirt and a bunny hat.
“Are you okay?” The mixed-race boy looked at him with concern, his green eyes were like a forest and an emerald lake: “I think he put his hand in.”
Li Chu lowered his head and rummaged through his bag. His wallet was still there. He raised his head and smiled at the boy, “I didn’t lose anything, thank you.”
The young man’s eyes fell on his hat and he suddenly smiled: “What a coincidence, you are also a rabbit.”
And they were both lop-eared rabbits. Li Chu’s had pink ears, and the other’s had gray ears.
Li Chu thought he was quite interesting: “You can speak Chinese, and you speak it very well.”
There are also many mixed-race and even pure ABCs in the class, and their native language is English.
The young man bent his eyes, and his clean smile lit up his whole body, “Well, my mother is Chinese, and she taught me Chinese.”
They were about the same age, and they felt like old friends at first sight, chatting all the way.
Li Chu just learned that the boy’s name was Jiang Letao, who was half Chinese and American.I like art, music, and everything unique.He went to college in Las Vegas and came to Los Angeles to hang out with friends.
The two exchanged contact information with each other and agreed to meet for dinner together when there was a chance.
However, after Easter, classes, experiments, and projects kept Li Chu completely busy.
In addition, the weather was hot and cold, and by the time he realized it, he had already caught a cold.
At first, it was just a slight nasal sound. When he called Shao Tingyue at night, he was afraid that the other party would hear something, so he hung up after a few words.
The cooking aunt came over with soup, looked at the red tip of his nose, and hesitated to speak: “My dear, are you feeling uncomfortable? Why don’t you tell Mr. Shao?”
Li Chu quickly shook his head. He was afraid that his second uncle would find out and fly over to take care of him: “It’s okay, it’s just a small cold.”
The aunt looked at him with worry and a little bit of embarrassment in her eyes.
Li Chu knew what she was thinking. She was getting the salary from Shao Tingyue and had to report everything, but he really didn’t want his second uncle to know.
“Auntie,” he said in a soft voice and shook her arm: “I beg you not to tell my second uncle. It’s just a slight cold. It will be fine in two days. It takes more than ten hours to fly from Hong Kong Island. He is so busy and I don’t want him to worry.”
Auntie was very worried about hiding such a big thing: “My dear, if Mr. Shao finds out…”
Li Chu blinked: “Auntie, if you don’t tell, no one will know if I don’t tell.”
Hiding it doesn’t count as lying, right?This little cold will get better in two days.
The aunt sighed and finally nodded helplessly.
Unexpectedly, on the second day, Li Chu started to have a high fever, his whole body felt hot, and his head felt dizzy.
When my aunt came over in the morning, she was horrified and she quickly called the family doctor to take her temperature and prescribe medicine.
Li Chu responded in a daze, took the medicine and fell asleep again.
The aunt prepared warm water for him and put it next to the bed, in case he was thirsty and couldn’t find water to drink in the middle of the night, and then left worriedly.
I don’t know how long it took, but he fell into a familiar embrace while half asleep and half awake.
The young man opened his eyes in a daze. In the dim light, a man with high eyebrows and deep eye sockets was looking down at him.
He must have been confused due to illness…he actually saw his second uncle…or he was dreaming.
But – this dream is so real.
The boy nuzzled into that embrace and buried his face in the other’s chest. The familiar and warm male breath hit his face. He couldn’t help but reach out and squeeze.
This feels so real and flexible.
Li Chu was still running a fever and his mind wasn’t very clear, so he couldn’t help but squeeze it a few more times.
Slowly realizing something, I raised my head.
The man’s stern face was very close, his dark eyes reflected on his face solemnly, he grabbed the hand that was making trouble on his chest, put it to his lips and bit it gently.
Li Chu groaned in pain and woke up completely.
Shao Tingyue’s cold eyes were obviously suppressing something, and the corner of his lips squeezed out a forbearing arc: “BB, you are still so restless when you are sick?”
