Chapter 89: Have some family background, can be considered presentable
Xue Jingshu sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her eldest son with loving eyes. She had hoped and hoped, and finally managed to wait for him to return. His nature of not staying home, she didn't know who he took after, he just liked to stay in Wuchuan with his grandfather.
The family conditions were also considered 'okay', with nannies and twenty-four-hour housekeepers, and in terms of material aspects, nothing had ever been lacking for him.
His weekly pocket money was always enough, and she was even afraid he wouldn't have enough to spend, transferring money to his card every two or three days.
Staying in Di Du was always better than staying in that small place like Wuchuan.
Not under her nose, her heart was always worried about him, unable to rest easy.
Knowing he was coming back this time, she cleaned his room personally a day in advance.
Company matters were also handed over to her assistant to handle.
She wanted to accompany him well at home. As soon as she got home in the evening, she cooked a big table of dishes for him, but didn't see him eat much.
"Your father and I have long picked out a private university in Di Du for you. If you agree, the procedures can be handled in half a day. Staying in Di Du, Mom can see you often, and your brother can serve you tea and water, don't you think?"
"Mom really isn't at ease with you over there."
"My son is so handsome, what if he gets cheated away, what should I do."
Xie Qin opened his sleepy eyes, suppressed his impatience, lifted the quilt to get out of bed, and pushed the talkative woman, letting her leave the room.
With a 'bang', he closed the door directly.
Almost forgot there was a small one.
Xie Qin carried him and threw him out, without any hesitation.
Finally, he closed and locked the door.
Instantly quiet.
Xie Qin fell onto the bed and found his phone from under the pillow. The pinned message was still stuck five days ago.
Tossing and turning, he didn't know how many times he had looked at it.
The feeling of being lost and soul-broken tortured him to the point of no return.
Xue Jingshu carried the child downstairs. A middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. Hearing the footsteps coming downstairs behind him, the man squinted his eyes and looked over: "Rare to have a few days off, just let your brother sleep well."
"After coming back, he just stayed in the room and didn't come downstairs much." Xue Jingshu was very worried. It was normal for a child to have something on his mind when he grew up, she was just afraid he would stifle himself.
She couldn't stand him being so leisurely and throwing the child to him: "You, the biological father, aren't worried at all."
Xie Yanli took the child and smiled: "Brother is also born by you, he has always been closest to you since he was small, whatever happens, doesn't he always tell you first. How about this... wait until he wakes up later, I'll find him to talk."
"Best... this matter must be resolved before I come back at five o'clock in the evening. I'll go back to the company first."
"Fine." He agreed to this matter and said to her: "Come back early."
Xue Jingshu: "I know without you telling me." She still wanted to come back early to see her son.
At the entrance, Xue Jingshu had a suit jacket on her arm, holding her briefcase, and kissed the child on the cheek: "Baby, Mom is leaving."
"At home, you must listen to Dad and Brother, take care of Brother, do you know."
6:00 PM.
Xie Yanli knocked on the door, pressed the door handle very lightly, and saw the youth sitting on the ground, holding a controller, leaning his legs on his knees, playing a fighting game on the big screen.
Beside him sat a little person quietly, watching his brother play the game without speaking, holding an apple in his hand and gnawing on it.
Xie Qin heard the door push open and said to the person who came in: "Cold, close the door."
"If you're also here to do ideological work, don't waste time."
Xie Yanli stood beside the youth, watching his skilled operation, as if he was venting: "Technique is not bad, more powerful than when I was young."
This sentence probably aroused the competitive spirit between man and man. Without looking at him, he gave the other controller over: "Let's have a round."
After three rounds.
Xie Qin won without suspense.
Fourth round.
Xie Yanli suddenly spoke: "Something on your mind?"
"Dating?"
When this sentence was spoken, the character he was operating on the screen paused, and there was a small mistake.
"Didn't go well? Didn't chase the little girl?"
Xie Qin laughed: "Do you think that's possible? Only others aren't worthy of me, do I still need to chase?" Just saying this, the smile between his brows didn't reach his eyes, and his tone was flat.
Xie Yanli pursed his lips, knowing it without saying: "Dad is also a person who has been through it. After being rejected by your mother back then, I... was about the same as you!"
"..."
"Even if rejected, it's not a big deal."
"For the girl you like, you have to spend some thought and means. If sweet talk doesn't work, you can occasionally appropriately talk about the family situation. Our family has some family background, which can be considered presentable."
These old stories really hadn't been heard of.
"Your mother and I advocate free love. As long as you like her, and she thinks you're okay, that's fine."
Xie Qin's operation slowed down. He listened to his words, as if he was distracted, his dark eyes staring at a spot on the ground, collecting all his emotions.
"... Looks like she didn't think you were okay."
Xie Qin: "..."
A moment of distraction.
"Son, you lost."
Xie Qin looked up instantly, and a red 'KO' jumped out on the screen.
"Your mother will be back soon, go downstairs and have a meal with her properly. During this time... she has worried a lot about you."
Skipping this topic, Xie Yanli patted him on the shoulder.
Xie Qin laughed: "Her worrying is... sitting by my bed in the middle of the night like a ghost? Hurry up and tell her to save it, isn't it scary."
"How long have you not been home, she's just not at ease. If you don't come back this year, she plans to resign this year and accompany you to Wuchuan."
As soon as the words fell, the sound of tires rubbing against the ground sounded outside.
"Baby, Mom is back!"
"Mom..."
Xie Huai ran to Xue Jingshu's side and hugged her leg.
Xue Jingshu felt much better seeing the father and son walking downstairs together.
Xie Yanli: "You're back, let's eat."
At the dining table, Xue Jingshu kept putting food in his bowl, talking non-stop: "Wuchuan has cooled down a lot recently, it's colder than Di Du, remember to wear more."
"I'm afraid you'll get sick, with no one to take care of you."
"Did you tell him about Dad's transfer?"
Xie Yanli sat in the main seat and said flatly: "Since he wants to stay in Wuchuan, let him stay. There are many familiar people there, it's not certain he'll be used to transferring here."
"Wait until the New Year, then we'll go back to Wuchuan together, it's the same to stay there for a few more days."
Regarding this decision, Xue Jingshu still felt a bit lost, but there was no way. This eldest son of hers had a personality that was difficult to control, which was also because he hadn't been by her side since he was small.
Usually, there was less concern, so she could only give him more compensation economically.
"Son, why did you only eat so little, not eating anymore?"
"Mm." Xie Qin looked down at his phone, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and went upstairs.
No, the sound of a door closing came from upstairs.
Pushing the door and stepping into the dark room, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He took out the phone neatly, his fingertips tapped lightly, and the screen lit up suddenly. The cold white light fell into his eyes, looking at the photo that had just been sent.
8:30 PM.
Xie Yanli came downstairs in his pajamas, seeing the person still busy in the kitchen: "So late, not resting yet?"
"... Only ate so little tonight, I'm afraid he'll be hungry in a while, so I thought about making him some sweet rice balls."
Xie Yanli poured a glass of water from the kitchen and drank it: "Aren't there some in the fridge?"
"Bought ones, how can they be as good as homemade. Go upstairs and see, call Brother downstairs, and you can boil them."
"Sob sob..." Crying came from upstairs, a small figure held the stairs by himself and walked down, "... No... no brother."
"Brother is gone~" ===== CHAPTER 90 =====
