“I thought you had already died somewhere outside. “
——The word that Chu Xun could not listen to the most right now was “death.”
Chu Xun had held onto some wishful thinking, but when he heard this, his heart went cold.
He said with a cold face, “I didn’t come to find you. I didn’t want to talk to you. I have something to discuss with my mother.”
Father Chu did not care, and he showered his son with scoldings: “You’re really capable, you stupid boy. You still dare to talk to me in this tone? You’re so powerful ah. You quit when you said you’d quit, then suddenly went on a trip! You just up and went on vacation, and didn’t even know to tell someone else where you were going to play.”
Being chastised by his father angered Chu Xun. He was not thinking rationally; even if he thought about it carefully, he had never told his parents about his resignation and traveling at all. How did his father find out about it? He berated this stinky old man:
“Didn’t you tell me long ago to sever our relations? Mr. Chu Shan, I won’t trouble you honored sir to care about me. I’ll live as I like. I’ll play as I like. I am a free individual; I have the right to decide my own life!”
Father Chu almost toppled over in anger and threw down all the groceries he was carrying: “Yes, yes, yes. I have broken off relations with you. I haven’t forgiven you at all. I’m just looking at your shamelessness. Just now you called me “Dad”, weren’t you trying to please me? Now you want to say that you don’t want me to care! “
Chu Xun’s choked. “It was a slip of the tongue. Don’t take it so seriously.”
Father Chu said sarcastically, “Right, you’re the most capable.”
Chu Xun looked at his mother and said with a better tone, “Mom, I have something to discuss with you.”
“You’re not allowed to talk to him!” exclaimed Father Chu loudly. “I already said this unfilial son is not allowed to set foot into the house!”
Chu Xun sneered: “I didn’t want to enter the door, ah, who wants to go in? I can say it outside.”
Father Chu said, “That’s not good either, you’re not allowed to say it.”
Chu Xun was so angry that his liver hurt, as if his lifespan was further cut shorts. His stomach began to ache.

Mother Chu: “…”
Chu Xun and his father fought until they were tired and Chu mother was left speechless. The spectacle suddenly quieted down.
They all heard a rustling noise.
Mother Chu followed the sound to look and cried out, “Ah! Xiao Pang! “
Only then did the two men, who were quarreling fiercely, realize that Father Chu had accidentally dropped the bags on the ground. The husky had escaped the yard when he opened the door, and was now wagging his tail and gnawing at the bone happily.
Father Chu saw this, but didn’t get angry and he rubbed the dog’s head: “It doesn’t matter. Let him eat. We bought the meat for him!”
He looked up at Chu Xun and said, “Don’t you know who this is? His name is Chu Xiao Pang. He is the youngest son of your mother and I. He is especially obedient; you are not as good as Xiao Pang. You only know how to piss me off all day. “
Was it better to raise a dog than to have him? Chu Xun was really pushed to laughter out of anger.
He didn’t want to waste his words with this smelly old man. He simply went around, pulled on his mother and said, “Mom, come here, I need to talk to you.”
Father Chu blocked him. “I said it’s not allowed.”
Chu Xun was so angry he trembled: “You…You are so unreasonable! I didn’t want to talk to you. I can’t even talk to Mother? It’s just this time, and I will never come to disturb you again. “
Father Chu asked, “What can’t you say in front of me?”
Chu Xun: “All right, all right; I’ll say it in front of you.”
They stood awkwardly at the door of the house. They didn’t have chairs to sit on or a table to put things on. Chu Xun opened the briefcase in his hand, took out a stack of documents, and handed them to his mother.
“Mom, this is my title deed to the house, and the transfer documents. After signing the documents, when you have time, we will go through the transfer procedures. The house is for you. I still owe some mortgage. It’s in a good location and the value has doubled since I bought it. After you sell it, there should be a good amount of money left. It’s all for you. “
“My car is also under your name now. You have a driver’s license. You can use it when you go grocery shopping. If you don’t want to drive, then you can also just sell it. I bought it three years ago for 400,000. It’s well maintained. Don’t sell it too cheaply. “
Every time he spoke a sentence, he shoved several documents to his mother. Mother Chu held the pile of papers in her hand and didn’t know where to put it.
Also, it was too strange. If her son wanted to be filial to her, that was fine. But now wasn’t a suitable time. Why give this to her all of a sudden? What’s more, in her mind, these are the assets Chu Xun had worked hard for in that big city all these years. Are all these just for her? What was the matter?
“Why are you giving these to me?” Mother Chu asked
Chu Xun said forcefully, “I’m giving these to you, so just take it! It’s best to go through the formalities with me within the week. “
Mother Chu said, “Xiao Xun, tell me what this is about clearly.”
Chu Xun didn’t want to say. If he didn’t want to say it, then no one would be able to pry open his mouth.
Father Chu was listening on the side, and he felt that something was wrong. What did Chu Xun mean by doing this out of the blue? “What did your mother ask you?” he reprimanded. “Don’t be like a corked up oil bottle! Properly speak to your mother! Talk, you!”
Chu Xun looked away.
That husky and his father were very affectionate, and it also barked at him “woof woof”, as if they were trying to force him to say it together.
An inexplicably ominous feeling rose in Father Chu’s heart.. He couldn’t help feeling anxious and got up, forcibly asking: “Speak! Stinky boy! I want you to speak! “
Chu Xun lifted his eyes and looked at his anxious father. He was so angry that he could not breathe steadily. He went to look through his briefcase. His hand trembled and the briefcase fell to the ground. He squatted down and didn’t even have the patience to brush off the dust. He took out the remaining documents in the briefcase and coarsely shoved them to his father.
“Didn’t you want me to die? I’m really dying now, Mr. Chu Shan. Are you satisfied? Your disobedient and shameful son will finally die!”
According to reason, Chu Xun should feel carefree. He was finally able to have the final word, and leave his father speechless.
But the moment he said those cruel words, he saw his father’s eyes. Suddenly, he didn’t feel the slightest bit happy at all.
He had said everything.
There was no need to continue staying here.
Chu Xun turned and left.
Father Chu hadn’t reacted yet. He looked at the paper stuffed in his hand by Chu Xun, all the hospital reports and diagnoses. He looked at them absent-mindedly. Although he couldn’t understand them, he suddenly understood that Chu Xun was not lying.
Chu Xun was ill. He was very, very sick.
He was dying.
He remembered that when Chu Xun had quarreled with him, his face was very pale. He had stood shakily, hand covering his stomach.
Father Chu suddenly snapped out of it and shouted at Chu Xun’s back: “Come back, stinky boy! You make it clear to me!”
“Stop! Are you deaf? I want you to stop!”
Chu Xun didn’t even look back. He walked farther and farther away.
Father Chu seemed as if he woke up from a dream and chased after him. “Chu Xun, stop right there!”
“Don’t go!”
Chu Xun still acted as if he didn’t hear him.
Father Chu couldn’t catch up to Chu Xun. He simply felt his heart heat up and his vision got blurry. He wiped his face. He hadn’t noticed when his eyes filled with tears. He chased Chu Xun and suddenly burst out a shout: “Jun Jun!”
“Wait for Dad!”
Jun Jun was his pet name as a child.
Chu Xun stopped.
The rims of his eyes were red, and he turned his head back to look at his Dad.
