Black-bellied vs. Black-bellied: Ultimate Showdown

Chapter 3: Sapphire Buddha Beads

Jiang Ying hesitated for a while before opening her mouth: "After you disappeared that day, someone brought a message to your father and said that if he wants you to come back safely, let him cancel all the activities the next day - your father originally had an important private equity move. The meeting was held the next day, and he didn’t dare to risk your safety, so all meetings were urgently suspended on the night of the incident. We mobilized almost all resources to find you at night, but found nothing until five o’clock in the evening the next day. The police only informed us that a citizen called the police and claimed to have found you in an abandoned plastic factory in the northern suburbs of the city."

Qi Yu asked, "Is that the uncle?"

Jiang Ying nodded: "The kidnapper ran into him when he was shopping outside. He heard them talking on the phone and felt suspicious. He followed them to the plastic factory and called the police at the same time. However, when we get there, the kidnappers will You've run away, and then that person took you out of it and got into the ambulance."

Qi Yu remembers this part except the broken factory building, but it may be the after-effects of drug addiction, or it may be too long. Jade Buddha Beads.

The color of the beads is like the dark green glazed porcelain bowls from grandma's house, with a warm luster on the surface, worn with a dark red thread, very similar to the string he saw in Fu Yansheng's hand today...

Qi Yu came back to his senses and asked, "Have those kidnappers been caught later?"

Jiang Ying shook her head regretfully: "Actually, half an hour after that person called the police, your father also received your location information. Their purpose has been achieved, and they didn't want to make things worse, so they ran away before the police arrived. However, according to the police, when the kidnappers came out, they found the person who was following them. The two sides had a head-on collision, and the person was injured a little..."

Qi Yu's heart tightened: "Is the injury serious?"

Jiang Ying: "Fortunately, he was hit on the head by something, bleeding a little, and his arm was also torn. Later, he went to the hospital for an examination. Fortunately, it was only some trauma."

Qi Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "How is that uncle now, do we still have contact with him?"

Jiang Ying: "After the incident, your father planned to pay him 100,000 yuan in cash, but he didn't ask for it. He told us that the child is safe."

Qi Yu was taken aback: "Don't you want?"

"Well, at first your dad thought he didn't like the money, so he asked someone to check his background, and it turned out that he was just a math teacher in an ordinary middle school..." Jiang Ying smiled and then said, "Your dad just He sent a pennant of 'being brave' to his school. In the first two years, he used to send people gifts. Later, your father went to the United States. He and I were busy with work, and we gradually lost news. I left him the contact information and said that if you need it, feel free to contact us, but after so many years, he has never asked us for any help."

Qi Yu sighed in his heart that now such a good person would be hard to find even with a lantern.

Jiang Ying looked up at her son, who was a lot taller than her, and said, "My parents didn't tell you about this before, just because they were afraid that you would be under pressure. Now that you have grown up, your mother will no longer hide it from you, but, Don't think about it, it's all over."

"Well, I know." Qi Yu put down the water glass.

With the passage of time, his memory has also faded. If he hadn't seen the string of jade beads on Fu Yansheng's wrist today, he wouldn't have remembered to ask.

However, since that incident, he seems to have unconsciously paid more attention to the man wearing jade beads on his hands.

It's a pity that the people I met later were not monks, or my father's slick businessman friends - they were still wearing those big beads, a thick string, mostly for money or to ward off evil spirits, and they looked very tacky.

Today, the Jade Buddha Bead on Fu Yansheng's wrist has an air of refinement.

Going upstairs to wash up, Qi Yu touched his trouser pocket and then the business card given by Fu Yansheng.

He glanced at it twice, and wanted to lose it, so he moved his hand to the trash can. After a pause, he opened a drawer that was not often used under the writing desk and stuffed the small piece of paper into it.

They shouldn't be in touch anymore...

Because of this experience, once is enough.

***

Qi Yu originally planned to stay in Haicheng for two weeks, but since his brother's matter has been resolved, he has no reason to stay, so he asked Xu Jing to buy himself a return ticket in advance.

Before departure, I sent Xiao Feng the flight information. I didn't expect him to send me off because that day was not a day off. But my brother still came, and he brought Ling Ke with him... I didn't forget to show my love when I dropped off the plane.

Qi Yu deliberately provoked them, and once again made his brother jealous and laughed.

Before parting, he suddenly remembered that there was one important thing he had yet to explain, and stopped Qi Feng and said, "Hey, now that you have a boyfriend, don't mess with those Yingying Yanyan, you know?"

Qi Feng shouted in dissatisfaction: "When did I provoke those Yingying Yanyan!?"

Ling Ke squinted at him...

Qi Yu raised her eyebrows: "Just pretend you didn't mess with it, but your physique that attracts bees and butterflies is inevitable, right?"

Qi Feng was speechless, as if his brother didn't have that physique...

Qi Yu said again: "Don't add all the messy people who hooked up with you like you used to play QQ and WeChat, and learn to refuse coldly."

"Didn't I share the same account with you at the beginning, am I asking for trouble by adding those people?" Qi Feng rolled his eyes and waved to chase him away, "Let's go, leave, when did you become such a mother-in-law?"

After seeing his brother through the security check, Qi Feng breathed a sigh of relief: "I finally sent this living Buddha away."

Ling Ke smiled and said, "I see that you are quite happy that your brother is here."

"Happy ghost, that guy will do bad things for me, so I can save my mind when I leave!" Qi Feng picked up the phone, and sent his brother "safe journey" with disgust.

As soon as the result was finished, he saw a red dot on the "New Friend" icon.

Friend application message - "I'm Fu Yansheng."

…who?

Qi Feng had no impression of the name, and ignored it without thinking about it.

The two walked back to the school, happily catching up with the dinner time in the three cafeterias. After they had eaten and drank enough, they arrived at the dormitory. Qi Feng took out his mobile phone and found that a red dot appeared on the "New Friend" icon.

When I clicked on it, it was still the same person as before, but the application message changed.

- "Qi Feng?"

Huh? Does this person know me?

Qi Feng curiously opened the other person's avatar, and saw that it was a magnifying glass facing the XY coordinate axis.

Mathematics department?

The gender icon is also a little blue man.

But after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't remember any math boy surnamed Fu he knew, so he ignored it.

At noon two days later, Qi Feng received a strange call.

"Excuse me, are you Qi Feng?" A clear male voice came from the other end of the phone.

At that time, Qi Feng had just finished his "Introduction to Literature" class, and a group of students shoved out of the classroom. Qi Feng laughed with Ling Ke and replied, "Ah, I am, who are you?"

The man said, "I'm Fu Yansheng."

Qi Feng was taken aback, the one who added him to WeChat twice?

Listening to the other party's voice is quite serious, Qi Feng politely said: "I'm sorry, I don't seem to have any impression of you, can you introduce yourself?"

There was silence for a moment, and he said, "We met at the Skyline bar in Fengmao before."

"...Huh?" Qi Feng asked, "I haven't been to any bars."

This time the other side was silent for a longer time...

Qi Feng brought the phone closer to his ear and urged impatiently, "Hello?"

"Think about it again," the man said word for word, as if he was afraid that Qi Feng could not hear clearly, "In the bar, you even let me kiss you..."

Qi Feng hurriedly defended: "No, I said buddy, when did I let you kiss me? Did you make a mistake?"

Ling Ke's eyes flashed on the side, and he squinted at Qi Feng...

"You..." The other side wanted to say something.

beep-

Qi Feng hung up the phone, scolded "sick" at the screen, and decisively blocked it.

***

Qi Yu took a ten-hour flight before returning to New York City. When he got home, Qi Yuancheng asked him, "How is your brother?"

"He's fine." Qi Yu didn't expect his father to be so concerned about his brother's affairs.

"What does 'very good' mean?" Qi Yuancheng asked anxiously, "What is the origin of the 'friend' he was looking for, have you checked?"

"I checked," Qi Yu briefly introduced Ling Ke's situation, "The boy with him studied well, and he can play the piano just like Xiaofeng. I heard that he and Xiaofeng took the grade test together when they graduated from elementary school. I got to know each other since then.”

Qi Yuancheng's complexion changed greatly: "So young..."

"No," Qi Yu hurriedly interrupted his father's strange associations, "I just met once. Later, they were admitted to a university and became classmates.

Qi Yuancheng said with a dark face: "Who is he looking for when he wants to fall in love? I remember that the girl from the Xu family used to go to your brother to play, what's the name of Zhu, that's not bad, how could he find a man? ?"

Qi Yu was speechless, the matter of sexuality could not be explained to a straight man like his father.

He handed the clothes and luggage to the nanny Anne, and said, "What's the matter with the man? It's better than he finds a girl with a big belly and lets you wipe his ass."

Qi Yuancheng said angrily, "How did you talk?"

Qi Yu knew that her father was stern, and said bluntly: "I'll tell the truth, Xiaofeng is not too much better than Meng Wenhui."

Meng Wenhui is the son of one of his father's business partners. He is also in the United States and is considered a peer of Qi Yu.

Before middle school, because of the relationship between the two families, Qi Yu often played with him, but as he grew older, Meng Wenhui's private life became more and more chaotic.

At that time, Xu Jing, who graduated from a prestigious Ivy League school, came to Qi Yuancheng's side and led Qi Yu to another path.

Over time, the two distanced themselves.

Last year, he applied for Staford, and Meng Wenhui bought a third-rate school with Uncle Meng's money, but he was still sensual and unprofessional.

Not long ago, I also heard that the boy had enlarged the stomach of a nightclub sitting girl, and the girl went directly to the Meng family for compensation, which almost didn't make Uncle Meng get a heart attack.

Qi Yuancheng obviously knew this, but how could he be so easily persuaded, after a while he asked, "What did your mother say?"

Qi Yu: "Mom has accepted it, and my mother likes that boy very much."

Qi Yuancheng pulled his face and muttered, "She doesn't care either, it's a shame..."

Dad scolded his younger brother, but he blamed his mother for this, but Qi Yu couldn't stand it, he raised his head and said, "Dad, since you divorced from mom, this is the first time I see Xiao Feng as happy as she is now. "

This sentence successfully silenced Qi Yuancheng. The broken marriage was his original sin, and the estrangement with Xiaofeng for many years was also an unspeakable pain in his heart. He knew that he was not qualified to judge anything, and sighed angrily.

The next day, Qi Yu was going to fly back to school to say goodbye to his father, but Qi Yuancheng brought it up again.

"Qiyu, Xiaofeng's matter is not because my father is unreasonable. After all, it is not acceptable to the general public. My father is just worried about him... But for so many years, I have not been by his side, and I have not fulfilled the responsibility of educating and guiding. I'm really ashamed." Qi Yuancheng looked at Qi Yu and said earnestly, "But, you are different from your brother, you have a heavier responsibility than Xiao Feng, and the people your father brings you into contact with are the most influential people in the society. Your words and deeds must be more cautious and self-controlled than Xiaofeng, you know?

Qi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly, "I know."

Qi Yuancheng finally showed a hint of relief on his face: "By the way, if you don't have any plans for the summer vacation this year, come back earlier. I think it's time to arrange for you to come into the company and get some practical experience."

Qi Yu: "Okay."

The author has something to say: [Interlude]

(one)

Fu Yansheng: You asked me to kiss you at the bar.

Qi Feng: I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!

Ling Ke: →_→

Qi Feng: It's not me, it's not really me, I didn't do anything, but you believe me! QAQ

In order to prove his innocence, he scolded Fu Yansheng: "You are sick!"

Fu Yansheng: "You..." Orz, you little goblin who always gives up, wait for me! (*￣︿￣)

Qi Yu: It's really exciting to run after you're done! <(￣︶￣)>
