It was already over 7 o’clock when they returned to the Qi family. The old man sat in the living room and saw Qi Wenyu, who followed him in. He pressed down his excitement and said affectionately to Qi Wenyu, “good boy, it’s good that you’re back.” With that, he secretly stared at Qi Sheng.

Qi Sheng touched his nose and felt that he was innocent. Ignoring his father, Qi Sheng turned his head and stared at Qi Wenyu: “Don’t you know how to greet people? Smelly boy!”

“Grandpa!”

“Ma’am… Wenyan…”

Qi Wenyu first called his grandfather, but he couldn’t help being nervous when it came to Bai Ruoqing and her son. Fortunately, Bai Ruoqing didn’t embarrass him and said faintly, “Welcome back.”

But Qi Wenyan stood up and greeted with an ‘elder brother’ toward Qi Wenyu.

The meal was very quiet, except for Qi Sheng, who couldn’t sense the atmosphere. The angry old man stared at him frequently.

After dinner, the old man asked Qi Wenyu to go to the study with him, leaving the three members of Qi Sheng’s family to look at each other. Qi Sheng looked at his own son, who he was not quite used to, and waved: “Come on, Xiao Yan, go for a walk with your father.”

Bai Ruoqing frowned at him, said nothing, and went straight upstairs.

“Xiao Yan, are you used to staying at home these days?”

When they came to the greenhouse behind the Qi family home, Qi Sheng turned his head and asked. It’s winter now, it’s still a little cold in the evening, and both of them are wearing indoor clothes, so he didn’t make any discouraging remarks.

“It’s fine, Dad.” Qi Wenyan looked up at his biological father and answered. But after the reply, he looked down at his toes and seemed as if he had been scolded.

“Silly boy, this is your home. If you need anything, please tell your grandpa and parents.” With that, he couldn’t help rubbing his son’s head. Compared with Qi Wenfeng, this son looked more like him.

“I know, Dad.” Qi Wenyan was not an eloquent person, so he could only answer dryly.

He was a little impatient and thought it wasn’t very good, but he really didn’t know this man. Hearing from other people, this man should be a casual and lazy son of a rich family, but when it came to the word ‘father’, he didn’t know what he would be like.

His former father was Shen Ping, but he knew from an early age that Shen Ping was not his biological father and that his ‘real father’ ran away when his ‘mother’ was five months pregnant, so he learned to be obedient, sensible and kind to his younger brother. He secretly envied his younger brother when Shen Ping was doting on him, and even more, envied his mother’s love for his younger brother.

At that time, he thought that his mother hated him because his own father abandoned his mother at the critical moment. He could feel that his mother wanted to give him away sometimes. So, he was very careful, even when his mother wanted to vent her anger on him sometimes, he would stand there and accept the beating.

The palm on his head is very warm, giving Qi Wenyan the illusion that this person should be a good father.

“Now that you are in your third year of high school, did your mother say she would hire a tutor for you?” Qi Sheng saw that his son wasn’t good with words, so he went to find a topic himself.

“Mom said she would ask the teacher come to the house after the seventh day of junior high school.” He was the same age as Qi Wenyu, but he was one grade under him, and his grades are not as good as Qi Wenyu. In an ordinary high school, and his results were not as good as Qi Wenyu’s. In an ordinary high school, his results can only be counted as good. So, it was a bit difficult to take the examination, let alone be admitted to the best university in their city like Qi Wenyu.

“Well, that’s fine, you don’t have any pressure. If you don’t do well in the exam, let your grandfather think of a way for you. At worst, we can choose a similar school. I didn’t study very well at that time.” Qi Sheng was still a little proud after saying this, but Qi Wenyan, who listened to his father, only felt that he was a little unreliable.

Fortunately, Qi Sheng also knew the old man’s expectations, and then he felt that the old man would chase him with a stick: “Hey, just listen to that, but you can’t tell your grandfather!”

“Okay!” Qi Wenyan couldn’t help laughing.

After successfully relaxing his son, Qi Sheng began to talk to his son about the Qi family, about his father’s preferences, about Bai Ruoqing, and finally about Qi Wenyu.

“Son, what do you think of Wenyu?”

“Ah? I… ”

“You can say whatever you want, and don’t worry about saying the wrong thing.”

Qi Wenyan thought for a long time, and finally said in a low voice, “he is very good.”

With that, he bowed his head and continued to stare at his toes, and the pleasure and relaxation of the chat just now disappeared.

In his grandfather’s study, he saw a lot of Qi Wenyu’s trophies, such as piano, horse riding, calligraphy, math competitions, and so on. There were many subjects that he couldn’t catch up to. He couldn’t help but feel some resentment. If he hadn’t been switched, would all those achievements be his? And he wouldn’t have to experience the pain he once did.

The warm temperature from his head again, which made him feel that his father was very gentle.

“You are also very good. Even if you have suffered a lot, you have grown up to be a kind and sensible child. If I had experienced these things, I might have become a street gangster. You see, even if you don’t have a good education now, you can still be our pride. Silly son, don’t envy Wenyu’s achievements. If you are interested in these, you can learn them later, and your grandfather still wishes for you to work hard!”

The child’s hair was a little soft, and Qi Sheng couldn’t help rubbing it again. “Xiao Yan, your life is still very long, and there will be plenty of opportunities to get in touch with the things you’re interested in!”

“As for our company, as long as you are interested, can go learn at any time, your grandpa will be very happy that you took the initiative to learn these things. In this big stall of the Qi family, having a brother to help you share the burden is better than your grandfather, who’s so busy that he runs around every day. He doesn’t enjoy life at all! ”

Qi Wenyu was very moved at first, but he couldn’t help get black lines listening to the last sentence. Grandpa worked so hard because you couldn’t be counted on it!

However, after talking for a long time, the relationship between father and son was very close, and Qi Wenyan felt that his father was not as dissolute as the outside world said.

The two talked for a while, and when they finally went back, Qi Sheng looked at the man who had become hesitant in front of him and wondered, “Why, is there anything you want to say to Dad?”

Qi Wenyan struggled for a moment, and finally plucked up the courage to look up at his father. Qi Sheng suddenly understood by seeing his son’s round eyes.

Uncomfortably touched his nose, Qi Sheng coughed: “Oh, you want to ask about Wenfeng.”

“Yeah…”

Father and son stared at each other for a long time, and Qi Sheng finally spoke under the gaze of his son, “Wenfeng is your brother, three years younger than you, but he lives outside. I’ll introduce him to you later when I get a chance.”

Looking at the hesitation in his son’s eyes, Qi Sheng added: “Don’t worry, your father will not let you be aggrieved, but some adult things aren’t so easy to deal with. You can rest assure at home. Dad promises you, I won’t let those things affect you.”

“Okay, I believe in Dad. So, please don’t make Mom sad…”

“You can rest assure that as long as you live a good life, your mother won’t have anything to worry about. Be good. Let’s go back!”

When the two returned to the living room, Grandfather Qi and Wenyu were already sitting on the sofa chatting and saw their father and son come in. The old man also ignored Qi Sheng, and beckoned Wenyan to sit next to him. He was accompanied by two grandsons, having a satisfied look on his face.

Qi Sheng wasn’t annoyed when being ignored. He went to the sofa and sat down. Looking at the news received in Wechat, he got a headache. The matter is far from over ah! His mistress was a hard nut to crack!

Qi Sheng replied to the message, thinking about how to solve the rest of the matter. He didn’t want the old man to directly glance at him, but instead the old man directly opened fire on him: “There are many people going back and forth in the family these two days. You stay here and don’t go anywhere; do you hear me!?” At the end, he deliberately accentuated his tone.

“All right, I got it!” Qi Sheng had already developed an invulnerable thick skin, and the old man’s picky attitude towards him didn’t affect him at all.

However, in order to eliminate the old man’s ammunition, Qi Sheng wisely changed the subject and spoke to the butler, “Uncle Zhang, invite an etiquette teacher tomorrow and let Wenyan follow.”

In a few days, there will be more guests coming and going. If Wenyan was to follow the social parties, first, he had to give the children a tutorial on basic etiquette.

He turned to look at his two sons and said, “you two little guys have worked hard these days. Now that you are adults, you should start to learn to socialize.”

“Yes, Dad!” The two children replied at the same time, and then they looked at each other.

The old man didn’t notice the eye contact between the two. He was somewhat gratified that both grandsons were so clever.
