Pyramid Hanging Upside Down Chapter 11
byChapter 11
Most of the affairs of the Ji Family Group have nothing to do with Qi Feiluan. He spent 90% of the entire meeting quietly distracted or in a daze. Speaking of which, this is also an ability that he has developed long ago because he often serves as a backdrop for Ji Xingyuan.
He was thinking about what he should do during the three-day holiday on New Year’s Day. The only thing he had to do today was this meeting. After the meeting, he could take a holiday.
First of all, I won’t go back to Ji’s Manor tonight. I can go back to spend the New Year’s Eve with my parents.You can stay home with your parents on the first day, but what about the second and third days?
Qi Feiluan thought for a while, but he didn’t have any ideas.
So far, his life has revolved around Ji Xingyuan, and he doesn’t have any particularly close friends. As for his hobbies, he has very few hobbies. After thinking about it, he can only go to the training base where he often goes.
By the time the meeting was over, Qi Feiluan’s anticipation for the rare three-day holiday had subsided.
After the meeting, the big guys left in twos and threes. Finally, the secretary said hello and left, leaving Ji Xingyuan and Qi Feiluan.
Normally Qi Feiluan would leave with Ji Xingyuan, but today he stood up, greeted Ji Xingyuan like his secretary, and prepared to leave.
“Mr. Ji, I have arranged the security work. I will leave first.”
Ji Xingyuan didn’t say anything, Qi Feiluan stood up and walked to the door of the conference room, walking out without stopping or looking back.
…
Qi Feiluan got into the car, set a new destination for the autonomous driving system, and then sent a message to his parents.
[Dad, Mom, Mr. Ji has approved the New Year’s Day holiday for me. I’m going home. Do you need me to take anything home?】
In the group with only three people, Qi’s mother quickly replied: [Did Mr. Ji give you a holiday?It’s great. You don’t need to bring anything back. I can just order online and have it delivered to your door.It’s great to have you back.】
Not long after, Qi’s father also replied: “It’s rare that you have a holiday. Where is Mr. Ji?”Have you made arrangements?】
Qi Feiluan lowered his eyes, hovered his fingers on the screen, and thought for a long time before replying: [Yes, everything has been arranged.】
Then he stopped looking at the screen and turned to look at the street scene outside through the car window.
Trains passed silently on the cloud track hovering in mid-air, high-rise buildings went straight into the sky, and vehicles moved forward or stopped temporarily according to the lights like a tide. Everyone in this world was busy and rushing to different destinations, but he had felt this emptiness more than once.
It was an empty feeling of not being needed and having no place to belong, which kept swallowing and consuming him.
Qi Feiluan has been thinking about whether his parents care about him a long time ago. One of them is Alpha and the other is Omega. Therefore, from birth, Qi Feiluan, who has not yet differentiated, has been regarded as the future quasi-Alpha.
And because of Qi’s father’s loyalty and clean resume, he has been with Ji Xingyuan since he was four years old, going to school and training together.
Most people lose their memories before the age of three when they grow up, so for Qi Feiluan, it is Ji Xingyuan who really occupies the vast majority of positions in his memory, not his parents.
Qi Feiluan also felt that she was more like a superfluous person to her parents. They loved each other so much that they were still living well without this son.
He left his parents when he was very young and spent less time with them and more time away from them.He rarely eats the meals cooked by his parents, rarely receives gifts from his parents, and rarely has the opportunity to give gifts to his parents.
Every time there is a rare opportunity to communicate with parents online, the most common questions parents ask are “How is Mr. Ji, how is Master Ji, how are your grades, and how hard is your training?”
Qi Feiluan always wonders if this is because there is really nothing to talk about between him and the two of them, and there are no common memories to look back on together.
Occasionally, Qi Feiluan would think about whether, for his parents, the identity of “Ji Xingyuan’s companion” was more important, or the identity of “his own son”.
He couldn’t think of an answer, so he stopped thinking about it.
After all, feelings are accumulated between each other. The older he grows, the more he understands the meaning of the word “acceptance”.
After returning home, Qi Feiluan opened the door with his fingerprint and password. It was just afternoon, and both Qi’s father and Qi’s mother were still working and had not come back.
Qi Feiluan waited for the dishes ordered by Qi Mu to be delivered to his door. Before Qi Mu came back, he washed and processed the dishes, cutting them into sections and slicing them.His knife skills are largely due to the fact that he is good with a knife, but he doesn’t know how to cook.
When staying at Jijia Manor, these are all taken care of by the chef.
Qi Feiluan finished preparing the x dish. Qi’s father arrived home half an hour earlier than Qi’s mother. When he saw Qi Feiluan, he smiled and said, “It’ll be good to come back when you have time. Mr. Ji is on the right track. Your work will not be so busy in the future, and you will have more opportunities to go home.”
Qi Feiluan nodded, watched Qi’s father put on an apron after washing his hands, and said to him: “Go and sit down, I’ll make dinner.”
As night fell, Qi’s father, Qi’s mother and Qi Feiluan sat at a square table. The table was filled with dishes. It was a rare occasion for the three of them to have a dinner together.
On the other side, in the Ji family manor, Ji Xingyuan had already put on his dress and got into the car, driving to the New Year’s Day dinner venue.
For Ji Xingyuan, the New Year’s Eve dinner is no different from dinners at any other time, with wine, dancing, socializing, and Omega.
Omegas have good manners, and most of them are elegant and reserved. At the same time, they are intimidated by his status and temperament, and they only dare to come up to toast or say a few words. However, the fragrant pheromones are their second language, telling the Omegas what they cannot say.
Ji Xingyuan was troubled. Omega’s pheromones were indeed attractive to Alpha, but mixing too many of them at the same time would only make him restless.
Ji Xingyuan glanced back subconsciously, but failed to see the familiar figure. Looking at the people coming and going at the venue, he became even more irritated.
Although Ji Xingyuan didn’t show much in his expression, the low pressure around him caused the few Omegas who dared to come up to chat with him to disappear.
Bai Hanxu had just exchanged greetings, and then pulled away and walked to Ji Xingyuan’s side. Seeing this, he subconsciously looked around and said, “It’s rare, Fei Luan is not here.”
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Bai Hanxu regretted it. Sure enough, he stepped on the thunder accurately, and the cold pheromones belonging to Ji Xingyuan came towards him, making Bai Hanxu feel like he had been drenched in freezing rain. The little wine he drank during the pleasantries immediately woke up 90% of the time.
Ji Xingyuan glanced at him coldly, drank all the wine in his glass, and said, “He went away for the New Year’s Day holiday.”
Bai Hanxu cursed in his heart, holiday?The assistants and secretaries around people like them are on standby 24 hours a day, with no holidays or private life. The salary they give is enough to buy all their time, let alone Qi Feiluan.
Bai Hanxu also saw that Ji Xingyuan was in an extremely bad mood at the moment, and wondered whether giving Qi Feiluan a holiday was out of his will.
However, Ji Xingyuan’s ability to give Qi Feiluan a holiday proved that his condition seemed to have eased.
Yes, illness. Bo Hanxu always believed that Ji Xingyuan was emotionally ill. How could a person who was not sick be so dependent on another person? This dependence even turned into pathological control.
Bai Hanxu felt that if things continued like this, Ji Xingyuan might do something even more terrifying, although in his eyes, what Ji Xingyuan did now was terrifying enough.
“It’s a statutory holiday, it should be.” Bai Hanxu changed the subject and stopped mentioning Qi Feiluan’s matter to stimulate Ji Xingyuan, who was already at the bottom of his mood. “Then why don’t we go to the hot spring villa? At the end of the year, we can finally take a break and relax in the bubbles. I made an appointment with the massage master, and Brother Jian will also come.”
“Do you have any wine there?”
“Drinking in hot springs is not good for your health.” Bai Hanxu said, “Have you not drunk enough here? Are you still drinking in the middle of the night?”
Ji Xingyuan didn’t want to stay at the venue anymore and said directly: “Then go to my winery and leave now. Are you coming?”
“Now? It’s not past midnight yet? Is it appropriate to leave now?” Bai Hanxu was a little surprised.
Soon he got the answer from Ji Xingyuan’s expression.
Yes, there is nothing suitable or inappropriate for him, it is always up to him whether he wants to or not.
Bai Hanxu knew that he was in a bad mood and said: “Sure, I just don’t want to stay. If you want to drink, of course I will accompany you. But I have to tell the old man first, and then ask Brother Jian whether he will go to the hot spring resort by himself or accompany us to drink.”
After Bai Hanxu had a reason to leave, he quickly went to his father to say a few words, then turned around and quickly returned to Ji Xingyuan before the father could react.
When following Ji Xingyuan out, he sent another message to Jian Junshuang.
Jian Junshuang quickly replied and asked Ji Xingyuan why he went to drink in the middle of the night.
Jian Junshuang is Ji Xingyuan’s cousin. He is five years older than Ji Xingyuan. He is exactly thirty after this year. His personality is much more lenient than Ji Xingyuan’s, so they have a good relationship with Ji Xingyuan.
Bai Hanxu replied:
[Today’s New Year’s Day dinner, Fei Luan didn’t come. Brother Ji said he gave Fei Luan a New Year’s Day holiday, but from the look on his face, it didn’t look like he gave it voluntarily. The two of them must have had some kind of conflict.】
[I really think the relationship between Brother Ji and Fei Luan should change. If this continues, I’m afraid it will happen again]
Bai Hanxu paused while typing and deleted the last half of the sentence before sending it.
【Brother Jane SOS!I don’t want to drink with Brother Ji by myself. I’m afraid no one will persuade him to go to the hospital!】
Jian Junshuang: [I will come, I am afraid that both of you will go to the hospital.】
Bai Hanxu silently cheered “Long live Brother Jian” in his heart, but the message he sent out was: “How could it be?”[Well-behaved.jpg]]
Jian Junshuang: [Wait for me for a while and see you in the underground garage.】
After the three met in the underground garage, they got in their cars and went straight to Ji Xingyuan’s winery.
After arriving at the winery, Ji Xingyuan did not call the bartender, but only asked the staff to get the wine. Soon the professional and efficient staff filled the table with various wine bottles.
Ji Xingyuan wasn’t interested in tasting wine either. He came here just to drink wine, as long as the alcohol content was high enough to get him high.
Bai Hanxu felt frightened when he saw Ji Xingyuan opening a glass of wine. He also poured himself a glass of wine, sat next to Ji Xingyuan, pretending to be a close friend, and asked: “Brother Ji, there must be some reason why you are drinking. Why have you been feeling unwell recently? Why is Fei Luan asking you for a three-day holiday on New Year’s Day?”
