Chapter 986: Like father, like son; like mother, like daughter; a mouse's son will know how to dig holes

Zichen realized he had spoken out of turn, immediately covered his mouth, and covered up, "Forget it if you don't agree, just pretend I never said anything."

After saying this, he wanted to slip away, but was caught by Shi Youxuan: "Come on, go upstairs with me."

Bedroom.

Closing the door, with only the mother and son in the room, she then said seriously: "You don't need to say anything, just nod when I say something right, can you do that?"

Thus, the son nodded.

"You saw Zhu Qingxiang at your aunt's house last Sunday, right?"

Zichen nodded.

Shi Youxuan's heart sank a little, and she continued to ask: "Your Xi Fu has an incredibly good impression of Zhu Qingxiang and said many good things about him in front of you, saying he can do everything—cook, swim, coax children... Of course, that's not the most important thing; the most important thing is that he is first in every subject, and if you follow him to study, you will become like him too."

"Is that so?"

Zichen was already so shocked he didn't know what to say, only nodding repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, that's exactly it. Mom, did you eavesdrop on us, or did Xi Fu tell you? That's not right, Xi Fu told me not to tell anyone."

He was a child after all; no matter how smart he was, his brain didn't turn as fast as Shi Youxuan's, and he let the truth slip out.

Shi Youxuan didn't rush to settle scores with Gu Zhihao.

Instead, she smiled slightly and said to her son: "So, you haven't actually seen what Zhu Qingxiang is like, have you?"

This time Zichen shook his head: "I have."

"I saw him once at Aunt's house last time. Brother Qingxiang is just as Xi Fu said, he is indeed very excellent, and I like him very much."

The child tilted his head and thought for a while, then asked: "Mom, did Xi Fu lie?"

She shook her head: "No, your Xi Fu didn't lie. Everything he said was correct, it just wasn't comprehensive enough. Let me tell you the more comprehensive version."

"You remember the time Grandpa had a big fight with Mom because of the fairy aunt, right?"

The child's little face turned serious: "I remember."

"The fairy aunt was actually played by Brother Qingxiang. Isn't that funny? He really knows how to do a lot of things, not just the little bit you know. There's quite a bit more; he also knows how to use poison and knows martial arts. Aunt Nianyin was hospitalized because she was poisoned by your Brother Qingxiang and almost lost her life. Also, your great-aunt almost died at Brother Qingxiang's hands, and he even wanted your father's and mother's lives..."

Before she could finish, Zichen already said angrily: "No, no, no, such a person cannot be our tutor. He wants to harm you and Dad; he is a big villain."

"Is Xi Fu also a big villain for introducing such a person?"

Shi Youxuan: "Your Xi Fu isn't bad; it's because he didn't realize at all that this person could be a danger to our family. When a person's ability is insufficient, even if their starting point is good, they won't have a good effect, and many times they will even mess things up."

Seeing the confusion in her son's eyes, Shi Youxuan realized that speaking this way was a bit profound, and her son might not necessarily understand at his age.

So she used an analogy: "For example, you are preparing to participate in a high-level chef competition. On the eve of the competition, your most capable assistant is injured and cannot accompany you. At this time, you really need an assistant, right? If the twins wanted to be your assistants at this time, would you be willing?"

Zichen shook his head like a rattle-drum; he was not willing.

Of course he wasn't willing; the twins wouldn't be helping, they would be causing trouble.

Shi Youxuan continued: "Exactly. You naturally wouldn't want them to be your assistants because their level isn't high enough. But if they said they wanted to introduce a very good assistant to you, whose level is sufficient, and after interviewing them you felt the twins were right—this assistant's level is simply too high, and their ability is incredibly strong."

"And they are a perfect match for you. If you participated in the competition together, any top international master would be no match for you. But what you didn't expect is that this person was actually sent by your opponent, sent specifically to be an undercover agent by your side."

"When it comes to the critical moment, they stab you in the back and deliberately ruin your dish. Would you say this person is bad, or the twins are bad?"

"Both are bad; they conspired to harm me."

Zichen was very angry now.

That kind big brother was already a green-faced, fanged demon in his heart.

Along with that, the image of Xi Fu in his heart was also ruined. He was now thinking that Xi Fu and Zhu Qingxiang had conspired to harm him and his family.

At the most critical point, Shi Youxuan shook her head: "You're wrong. Although the bad person was introduced by the twins, the twins didn't know this person was a spy sent by the other side either. They just have limited ability and poor judgment, and were deceived."

"Therefore, you cannot judge a person by their appearance, nor can you simply judge whether a person is good or bad."

"Some people don't have bad intentions; they just lack the ability to discern and are easily used by others. So we must discern for ourselves; we cannot trust everything about someone just because we like them."

Zichen nodded.

Although he couldn't fully accept it emotionally, he sort of understood his mother's meaning, and he wasn't as angry as he was just a moment ago.

Shi Youxuan was having a heart-to-heart talk with her son here.

Her husband wasn't idle either; he and Lao Qi went to Zhu Qingxiang's Apartment in person to catch him.

Unfortunately, by the time they arrived at Zhu Qingxiang's residence, the place was already empty.

The computer tower was still warm. Lao Qi said: "Chairman, he hasn't run far. You go back and wait; I will definitely catch him."

Escaping right under his nose was a great humiliation to Lao Qi.

"I'll go with you."

The two of them chased out.

If Zhu Qingxiang wanted to run, the only way was to smuggle himself out.

And for smuggling, there was no other choice but the seaside. Under heavy rewards, there are no rules; very quickly, Zhu Qingxiang, who had already reached the sea, was brought back!

"Where were you going?"

"Fishing."

"Fishing?"

Lao Qi was furious, went up, and slapped him across the face: "Not being honest, are you? Then I'll beat you until you are."

"Lao Qi."

Sheng Hanyu ordered Lao Qi to step back and came before him: "Do you think we are all three-year-old children, hmm? You think you can fool us however you want?"

"I advise you to be honest. I don't have time to waste with you. If you don't tell the truth, you'll have a lifetime to regret it in Prison."

Zhu Qingxiang's expression showed not a ripple.

He was very calm, unnervingly calm.

"If you don't believe me, forget it. I don't need to explain anything to you anyway. After all, if you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext. No matter what you want to do to me, I can't change it."

He adopted the stance of a dead pig not fearing boiling water, appearing on the surface as if he did not want to argue, his heart dead and cold, with the look of someone who was not trusted.

"Lock him up, send people to watch him twenty-four hours a day, he cannot be allowed to run away."

Zhu Qingxiang was very "cooperative," and was taken away with lowered brows and submissive eyes.

……

Sheng Family.

Gu Zhihao angrily went to find Shi Youxuan to settle the score: "You released Xiao Zhu."

Shi Youxuan sank her face: "I don't understand what you are saying."

She had not gone to find him to settle the score, and the fact that she didn't blame him for not distinguishing good from bad was already generous enough; now he had actually come to her home to ask her to release someone?

Truly a person who cannot see things clearly, and will never be able to see things clearly.
