“Dad …” Just now, Qi Wenfeng, who was still calm, saw Qi Sheng come back and immediately threw himself into Qi Sheng’s arms and cried. The crying made Qi Wenyu and Qi Wenyan couldn’t help but frown at him.
“What’s the matter? This is!?”
“Wuwuwu… Bai Chengfei that bastard brought four people to beat me up and he called me a bastard who can’t even get on the same level! The five of them beat me all at once…” Then he cried in Qi Sheng’s arms in frustration.
Qi Wenyan couldn’t help but widen his eyes, this guy is so big but he’s so spoiled!
Qi Wenyu was also seeing this scene for the first time, and his face couldn’t help but get a little colder.
Qi Sheng pushed the child away from his arms and looked at the bruised left cheek. He couldn’t help but feel a little distressed: “Letting you play with your brothers by yourself was a mistake…”
Qi Wenfeng hastily stood up and couldn’t help complaining, “I was with them. What kind of brother is that? No one even cares, they watch me get beaten up, humph! In their eyes, Bai Chengfei is their brother, wuwuwu…”
Qi Sheng couldn’t help but frown. Although he knew that the three brothers had no feelings, they didn’t stop their younger brother from being beaten. He couldn’t help looking at Qi Wenyu: “What’s wrong with you Xiao Yu!?”
“I … I went to the bathroom at that time …” Qi Wenyu stood up, looked at Qi Sheng’s angry expression and felt cold.
“What about you, Xiao Yan?” Qi Sheng turned to look at Qi Wenyan and his expression was not very good either.
“I tried to persuade him, but Chengfei wouldn’t listen to me…”
Before Qi Wenyan had finished speaking, he heard Qi Wenfeng muttering: “Obviously, you just don’t want to help…”
Qi Sheng got a headache. Although he doesn’t expect the three of them to have good feelings, at the very least his brothers couldn’t just stand and watch him get beaten. Alas, his task was certainly a long one! But for now, let’s soothe this child in his arms.
“You two go to your rooms first, and while there, reflect on what happened tonight!” When it came to the last sentence, his tone was a little heavier, leaving the two standing across the room feeling cold.
Qi Wenfeng was very happy to find his dad leaning towards him and pounced over to him, “Dad, I want to sleep with you tonight!” After saying that, he looked at Qi Wenyan, who was turning his head to look at him after leaving, with some pride.
Qi Sheng knew he had suffered a little today and let him act a little spoiled. “Go wash up first and I’ll give you some medicine later.”
The next two days were relatively calm. Apart from Qi Wenfeng who came to look for him occasionally, the other two were quieter and didn’t have much interest in everything at the resort.
Qi Sheng looked amused, he brought them here to relax, but why are they acting as if they were being trained?
It was after 3 o’clock in the afternoon, and the sun wasn’t too bright, Qi Sheng took the three of them to the mulberry plantation, “Since there is nothing you want to play with, just go and pick some mulberries for me.”
This resort has left a large piece of farmland and has been specially managed by someone, who deliberately planted some seasonal fruits and vegetables for the convenience of the Qi family. Moreover, these green and pollution-free foods are also necessary for gifts when visit their relatives and friends. Qi Sheng remembered that this season was when the mulberries were ripe. Besides eating fresh fruits, it was quite good to make wine from, and there was a ready free-labor force here.
None of the three children had ever been in a field before, so it was a bit of a novelty for them, but under the guidance of a special manager, they quickly learned the ropes. Qi Sheng sat under the nearby pavilion, eating fresh mulberries and cherries, watching his youngest son provoke the other two from time to time.
The other two were reluctant to pay attention to him at first, probably because Qi Wenfeng was really too arrogant. Qi Wenyu took advantage of his inattention, to take the basket of freshly picked mulberries to his own basket. Seeing this, Qi Sheng tsked, his eldest son still has this side to him.
Before the stupid son noticed, he was stomped on again by Qi Wenyan, and the momentarily frazzled kid wanted to find someone to complain to, but it was carelessly dismissed by Qi Wenyan.
Qi Sheng watched the three of them fighting while eating, and he also smiled from time to time. Only when he was satisfied eating, did he leisurely walk over to ‘inspect’.
“Xiao Feng, are you being lazy, why did you only pick this much!?” Qi Sheng said deliberately.
Qi Wenfeng looked at the fruit in the basket and then compared it with the other two. Only then did he react: “They’re so mean, they deliberately took away the ones in my basket…”
Qi Sheng looked amused: “You deserve it, you just had to provoke your two brothers, and provoke them both at once, have you learned a lesson?”
The other two couldn’t help laughing after hearing Qi Sheng’s words, and their previous unhappiness was no longer on their mind.
Qi Sheng looked at the three hard-working children: “When I brew mulberry wine later, I’ll let you try it first.”
Qi Wenfeng had never seen his father brew wine and couldn’t help but wonder: “Dad, you can brew wine!?”
“Of course, I, your father can do anything!” Qi Sheng was proud and complacent.
Three children: “…”
There was an evil wind blowing, just ignored it.
For several days in a row, Qi Sheng led the three children to play together. Except for the initial reluctance of the three, they gradually got used to staying together for a long time, at least they didn’t hate each other.
After playing here for about ten days, the old man planned to go back. There was an important decision in the company that needed the old man’s say so. Qi Sheng also didn’t plan to stay long. He arranged for the harvest of these days to be sorted out and brought back to the Qi family’s house. They were picked by the children, which was quite meaningful.
Qi Wenfeng’s belongings were also delivered long ago, but there was no room left on the second floor, so he was placed on the right side of the third floor.
The day passed with the three children stumbling around. In addition to Qi Sheng, Qi Wenfeng has always been good at acting spoiled in front of the old man, he was also becoming more and more liberal, often making the old man laugh.
However, this kind of behavior directly led to secret jealousy from Qi Wenyu and Qi Wenyan. The two even joined hands in disliking him, but they established a good revolutionary friendship.
The hardest thing to report for the whole summer vacation was Qi Wenyan. There were many things to learn. Except for the time they were given the day off in the later part of the trip for the three of them. He spent the rest of his time studying. Fortunately, he himself was also willing, and he was not dissatisfied with such heavy schoolwork requirements.
A few days before the start of the school year, Qi Wenyan was studying with his tutor as usual, but a sudden phone call brought him back to his senses.
“Elder brother, is that you? It’s Shen Yao, do you have time today? I haven’t seen you for a long time, come out to meet up …”
But it’s only been half a year or so, Qi Wenyan felt as if it was a world away. The 18 years living in the Shen family was like a dream. Qi Wenyan frowned. He and his ‘younger brother’ had never been close. Perhaps, they were still close when the younger brother was still a babbling toddler, but when Shen Yao grew up a little bit, perhaps influenced by the behavior of his adoptive parents, the younger brother became more and more distant from him. Later, he gradually realized that the older brother was not his father’s child and became more and more arrogant in front of him. Qi Wenyan couldn’t help thinking of his past and shook his head. Those things have passed. He is Qi Wenyan now!
“What’s the matter?” His voice was a little cold.
Shen Yao couldn’t help cursing in his heart. The guy was indeed a heartless white eyes wolf, but the words he spoke on the phone were true to his heart: “Brother, do I have to be up to something to see you? We’re brothers who have lived together for over a decade, and I heard that Dad of yours had a bastard. Aren’t I just worried that you’ll be bullied in the Qi family?”
Qi Wenyan felt a little funny. He had been bullied many times, and he never saw his younger brother cared about him. Yes, the so-called ‘younger brother’ was also present among those who bullied him at the beginning.
Qi Wenyan also didn’t want to play any fake brotherhood with him, and said impatiently, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”
“There are, Elder brother, don’t hang up yet! It’s like this, I recently got a girlfriend, it’s her birthday soon. She always wanted to go to ‘Ming City’ for fun, I couldn’t resist at the time and let slip that you’re a member there. So, brother, can you take me there this time…”
Unfortunately, Qi Wenyan interrupted Shen Yao before he could finish: “No, I don’t have time to go out.”
The ‘Ming City’ was a famous gold selling cave in Haishi. Many people are full of curiosity about it, but membership was needed to get in and out of the ‘Ming City’. The average person needs to spend a large amount of money to get a membership. The Qi family doesn’t need to. Qi Wenyu took Qi Wenfeng once, some time ago, and he gave them a gold card, but he himself didn’t go there even once. From his perspective for the first 18 years, they are purely places where money is scattered when the upper-class circles had nothing to do. He wasn’t interested in that kind of place, and he didn’t even think of it.
“Then you lend me your membership card to play for a bit! I promise to give it back to you in a few days, brother, please!”
Shen Yao’s words were earnest, and the tone was pleading with Qi Wenyan. It seemed as if the two were really brothers with good relations. Shen Yao also found out about the giants such as the Qi family. And he found that these ‘top clubs’, in outsiders’ eyes, would voluntarily send out VIP cards to them. He did talk about it to his girlfriend, it wasn’t a lie, but this time it’s mainly because he himself wanted to go inside to see.
Qi Wenyan couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. Why didn’t he find his ‘younger brother’ so flexible before? If he refused this man’s request in the Shen family, he would have been scolded by this person long ago, and then the guy would go to his adoptive mother to complain. Then, when he comes home, there would absolutely be no food for him, and he would be forced to clean their leftover rice bowls, heh!
Qi Wenyan also refused to talk to him anymore, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to resist recalling the pain he once felt, “No, don’t call me again for such things in the future.” After saying that, he directly hung up the phone. Looking at the persistent caller ID again, Qi Wenyan also had some unspoken pain….
Shen Yao on the other end of the phone looked at one rejection after another, and nearly slammed down his new phone. God damn bastard! He’s got no conscience! Just wait, one of these days… He was fuming, but thinking about the gap between the two of them today, he could only kick the nightstand twice in anger.
