Chapter 147: Father and Son
Chapter 147: Father and Son
Cheng Yun stood in front of the two men, holding a box with gold-plated edges in his hand.
He concealed his inquiring mood and looked at Sheher twice, "Do you have a girlfriend?"
Unlike what Shehe had imagined, Cheng Yun's attitude was rather gentle, without the aggressive aura and arrogance of Cheng Youan.
He pushed the box in his hand towards Shi Jinzhe and said, "I came to see you because I want you to go home and see your mother. She's not doing well. This is the cake she made when she was awake during the day. It's time for your birthday."
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yun’s purpose of coming was not to settle the score with Cheng Youan.
Shi Jinzhe did not take the exquisite box. Instead, he lifted up the cake he bought and showed it to Cheng Yun.
"Cheng Youan's birthday has nothing to do with me. It is more legitimate for you and your son to care for Ms. Qiao's health. I am just a stranger."
Sheh listened and read out the key information, "So they always celebrated someone else's birthday for you."
Facing Cheng Yun's gaze, Shi Jinzhe answered, "Yes."
Qiao Huiyun would make a cake for Cheng Youan on his birthday every year, but Shi Jinzhe knew Cheng Youan's date of birth and that she was a little older than him and was not born in December, the dead of winter.
Sheh: “That’s really insincere.”
The light words hit Cheng Yun directly in the face.
Cheng Yun slowed down his emotions, his expression unchanged, as if he was talking casually: "Was it her who answered my call last time? Her voice didn't sound like her."
"It was always her," Shi Jinzhe stabbed back Cheng Yun's hidden needle, "She was the one who was harassed by your precious son and wanted to hit him out of anger."
Shekh's eyes beneath the ribbon glanced at the people in the residential building next door, and he thought of the gossipy brother he met on the whale-watching boat.
She began to speak along the lines of Shi Jinzhe's words, and even deliberately raised her voice a little:
"After being scared by your son, I have nightmares every day. I can't see clearly and don't know what he looks like, but any monster that makes his voice in the dream will scare me. I dare not sleep."
Shi Jinzhe looked over calmly, she was really talented.
Sheh clutched the clothes on Shi Jinzhe's arm like a blind man touching an elephant. "He took me out for a long walk, but I still woke up every night. Shi Jinzhe could only stay up to watch over me. He hasn't had a good rest for a long time."
Say the most hurtful words in the calmest way. This is what Sheh learned from Manager Zhang in the previous game.
Tears are only useful to those who love you. For strangers, it is enough to just tell your experience in a plain and straightforward manner.
To put it bluntly, your calmness will be regarded as a show of strength without wanting to show weakness.
Especially when dealing with a heartless person like Cheng Yun, who raised a child for twenty years and then threw him away without saying a word. How could he possibly feel pity for others just because of a few words?
It would be more accurate to say that Shehte said this to others rather than to him.
She said to Cheng Yun, "Please help me see if he looks a little haggard. I can't see."
Combined with her eyes that appeared blind to outsiders, and her skin that was a little red from being frozen from being outdoors for so long, these words were more lethal than crying.
At least the driver who heard this not far away thought that Cheng Youan was a piece of shit.
Seeing that Shi Jinzhe didn’t get enough rest, I knew that what she said must be true.
The people who were taking pictures of luxury cars on the first and second floors and listening to the fun felt that it was a sin and immediately posted the video online.
Cheng Yun was blocked and couldn't speak for a moment.
The incomplete video of Cheng Youan could not be removed. It popped up like mushrooms after a rain. After spending money on it, it became popular again within two days.
He brought Cheng Youan back, and the family doctor said that he was staggering because of a concussion, and the many red marks on his neck were caused by ruptured capillaries due to being pinched.
He couldn't get the reason, so he went to ask for the original surveillance video. The other side laughed and said that the intern had lost the surveillance video.
Thinking of Cheng Youan who was locked up at home and went crazy, Cheng Yun's throat rolled. He didn't want to waste time here, so he said to Shi Jinzhe: "Come back with me now."
Shi Jinzhe ignored Cheng Yun and walked around him with Shehe.
Cheng Yun turned around and said, "We have raised you for twenty years after all. I just want you to go back and see your mother."
"Twenty years, I have paid back what I paid for Cheng Youan's life."
Looking at Shi Jinzhe's back without even turning his head, Cheng Yun had no choice but to say, "Come back here. I'll show you something that's related to your mother."
Cheng Yun emphasized, "She is your biological mother."
Shi Jinzhe stopped walking, and Sheh pulled his sleeve, "And willow branches."
The willow branches that were placed on Shi Jinzhe's body when he was sent to the orphanage are still in the Cheng family.
The woman in the dream also gave him willow branches, and Sheh remembered the touch of green in his memory. There must be some connection between the two.
Now that Cheng Yun has taken the initiative to invite him, Shi Jinzhe can go back to the Cheng family and take the things away.
Even if she couldn't take it away, she would destroy it. She couldn't let the things left to Shi Jinzhe become someone else's.
Especially that bitch Cheng Youan.
Shi Jinzhe stopped and looked back, "Just this once."
Cheng Yun didn't say whether he agreed or not, he just asked them to get in the car first.
The three of them sat opposite each other in the spacious back seat. It took quite a while to drive from the southernmost end of a city to the northernmost end, so Sheh simply ate the cake in the car.
She lay sideways and let Shi Jinzhe feed her, as if no one was around.
Cheng Yun didn't look at her, but just kept staring at Shi Jinzhe, wondering what he was thinking.
When Shi Jinzhe was about to feed Shehe the second piece of meat, Cheng Yun suddenly said, "Do you know that many people liked him? When he went to school normally, many girls handed him love letters, and he accepted them all."
"If those love letters were thrown away directly, it would not be good for them if someone with ulterior motives picked them up and read the contents, so I burned them all." Shi Jinzhe calmly explained to Shehe:
"I went to the woods on purpose to burn it. The principal thought it was set by someone. After he found out the reason, he cracked down on premature love. Since then, no one has sent me a love letter."
This is how Cheng Yun found out about this, so his short high school career became about taking classes at home except for exams.
Sheh nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.
She wanted to wait until there was no one around, then ask what a love letter was.
Shi Jinzhe tilted his head slightly and asked Cheng Yun, "What else do you want to say? Did you find that you can't do anything to me, so you have to use this vulgar method to stir up my feelings? Cheng Youan is indeed of the same lineage as you."
Cheng Yun: "You never talked back to me like this before."
"I used to think you were my father, but now it's over."
……
The car slowed down, passed a familiar scene, and finally drove into a brightly lit manor, slowly stopping.
Sheh was led out of the car by Shi Jinzhe, and saw a woman being supported by someone on the steps. She looked pale and so fragile that she seemed like she would fall down with a gust of wind.
Cheng Yun stepped forward to take over the care, supported Qiao Huiyun and forced everyone to walk inside.
It was not until she walked into the room that she broke away from Cheng Yun and ran away. Tears started to flow before she could say anything.
Shi Jinzhe dodged Qiao Huiyun's outstretched hand and took a step back, "People have checked, where are my biological mother's things?"
