The puppets' stage play

In the store, the hustle and bustle disappeared, and now there was only a table of customers in the right corner.

One of the men frowned. He placed his gaze on the wrist wheel on his left arm, tapped it lightly with his right hand, and a light screen appeared.

July 7 25:01

Qi Xiu squinted at the drunken two people, sighed, and felt a little headache. The two people didn't say they wanted him to deal with their funeral affairs. He had been busy building the meridians of his body recently, so he didn't have time to deal with these small things.

He looked at the two of them, silently thinking that he should pay attention to his image. He also needed to maintain his own personality, so he needed to help others. Just when he made up his mind to carry the two of them away, he noticed that the owner of the shop was walking quickly.

The beautiful middle-aged woman covered her mouth and stood beside her with a gentle expression. Qi Xiu's heart moved and he stopped moving.

"Mr. Du can go back alone. My young master specially told us that you don't have to worry about it and please leave as you please."

Qi Xiu thought for a moment, nodded, and looked at the two of them.

"Then they will be left to you."

Yao Chong pursed his lips and snored. Wu Sheng faced the table and held his head in his hands.

"Okay, feel free to do whatever you want"

With a distressed look on his face, the shop owner gently helped Yao Chong up, looking apologetically in this direction. She could be heard whispering to a few people at the counter and pointing in this direction.

Two powerful men came over and smiled kindly at Qi Xiu. They pulled Wu Sheng up, put their arms on their shoulders, and slowed down, not wanting to disturb each other.

Qi Xiu watched the two of them go to the back of the store. It was said that there were beds for resting and recuperating after drinking.

"It seems that Yao Chong does have a good relationship with his subordinates," Qi Xiu murmured in a low voice.

Being able to sense strong emotions, he naturally understood that these store employees sincerely loved and worried about each other, and the head store owner had the same feelings for Yao Chong as he did for his children.

Qi Xiu stood there, and after a while, he started to leave.

News came from the karma review that Xi Shou confirmed that the two were indeed resting in the rear, and told the other party to pay attention to the situation here. Qi Xiu stopped worrying and left directly.

"I will not marry that Zhao Zhengming!"

Liu Xinyue mustered up the courage to face her father Liu Tao and speak her mind.

Liu Tao's face was livid, he stood up from the sofa in the living room and suddenly stretched out his left hand.

When Liu Xinyue saw this, her body trembled. She was a little scared and wanted to close her eyes. Thinking of what Wu Sheng said during the day, she tried to stand up straight again and looked at the other party with tenacious eyes.

"You have to live for yourself and don't regret it like me..."

The other person's words, Wu Sheng's lonely expression, Yao Chong's furious posture, Xiaoyun's unusual smile, and Zhao Zhengming's cold eyes flashed through her mind, and her belief became stronger.

Liu Tao's hand hung in the air, his fingers trembling, and finally he put it down feebly, looking deeply at his daughter.

"....roll!!!"

Words leaked from his throat and he suppressed curses.

Liu Xinyue's eyes turned red and tears welled up. She turned around and ran to the stairs, wiped her eyes violently with her sleeves, and ran up the stairs sobbing. A man came out of the bathroom upstairs and stared at his sister's leaving figure.

He also listened inside for a long time, stroking his chest with his right hand, and his heart was beating violently. Is this the feeling of empathy in the blood? He couldn't help asking himself. He raised his head and walked to the living room with eyes like lightning.

Father Liu Tao leaned against the sofa helplessly, looking sad and lonely.

He understands, has always understood, that his father has loved his sister very much since he was a child, and does not want her to endure the same hardships as he does, so he packs her up and wants her to marry a good family and have a support.

Although his father had said since he was a child that he was the future heir, he only loved and cared for his sister, but he did not envy her. This was the responsibility of the eldest son.

Therefore, even if he was asked not to reveal his identity and start from the grassroots level, he had no complaints.

I wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning, eat cheap food that is about to expire, and stay busy until 1 o'clock at night. I grit my teeth and endure the difficulties of my colleagues, and I only obey the boss's deductions and scolds. I live like a brick, but I don't look like a human being.

He does whatever others do, without any bad temper, constantly working hard every day, and without complaining. Even though his sister has no worries about food and clothing, and runs a lot of business every day that he can't think of, he is not angry, because her sister is Used to protect.

But now, he was unusually angry. Years of experience told him what to do better, so he spoke.

"I think my little sister's decision is right."

He looked at his astonished father, but he chose the most irrational way of saying it, and simply stood against him.

Ah, messed up, but no regrets.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered a certain scene from his childhood.

In the crowd, the father looked back at his little sister, who was being carried on his back with a sweet smile, while he was being held tightly by a big wet hand.

The other hand held a large package. His father turned his head and looked at him worriedly. There were beads of sweat on his face and he gave him a comforting smile.

Sorry. I'm going to disobey you too, he thought to himself.

Liu Tao's face was dark, and his eyes seemed to be choosing people to devour, but the depth of his eyes was extremely complicated, showing confusion, anger, and even sadness.

A blue house in Shineng District.

Song Sheng walked out and walked on the road with a heavy face. He had gone to Mr. Tang to ask for an explanation, but in the end he left on his own initiative.

He originally wanted to expel Zhao Zhengming and give his spot to Yao Chong.

The other party had recently corrupted the moral code and wanted to hook up with female students. That was all. He also stirred up trouble. This made him unbearable. He came to talk about it, and then he discovered a certain fact.

Mr. Tang, Mr. Tang Chengli had been kicked out by Councilor Liu a long time ago, and he was only given a house in the official area to live in temporarily. It was still the other party's name. After all, Mr. Tang was not qualified to live there.

Song Sheng first went to Liu's house and was sent here by a young man sent by the steward. Along the way, he inquired with the young man and found that he was also talkative.

Only then did I know that Tang Chengli had been expelled as early as early July. The other party still expressed sympathy for Mr. Tang, but when asked about the details, the other party smiled and said nothing.

Only then did Song Sheng realize that there was no sympathy at all. He was just beating up the drowned dog and spreading the news. He was eager to be rewarded by his master. He immediately shut up and the other party stopped talking to him.

"Xiaosheng, why are you here-"

When Mr. Tang heard the knock on the door, he was originally full of doubts, but when he saw the young man next to him, his heart suddenly became cold.

"Steward Tang, oh, no, judging from my memory, he must be the former steward. I brought him here, haha."

The young man had a playful look in his eyes and mocked Tang Chengli before turning around and leaving. Before leaving, he glanced at Song Sheng with a look of disdain.

Tang Chengli had a serious expression and remained silent. Song Sheng also felt sad, and the two looked at each other speechlessly.

Mr. Tang forced a smile, his face was covered with wrinkles, took a deep breath, and called Song Sheng to come in. He entered first, and Song Sheng followed suit.

Song Sheng entered the room and frowned, feeling that the temperature was a bit high. Thinking that Mr. Tang was an old man after all, it was understandable.

"Ahem, grandpa, who's here?"

"Xiao Zhi, don't talk any more. Listen to grandpa and sleep to recover."

"......oh"

A familiar voice came, and Song Sheng wondered why it sounded like Tang Dezhi's voice.

Tang Dezhi is the son of a relative adopted by the other party. Mr. Tang drifted away in middle age and was married to his wife in his later years. His sons passed away one after another, so he regarded them as his own children since he was a child. Although they are grandfather and grandson, they are actually father and son.

Song Sheng was anxious and walked quickly. In the innermost room, the scene in front of him made him lose his voice.

Mr. Tang was holding a bowl and feeding a man something to eat. Tang Dezhi moved his eyes here, with an expression of joy and embarrassment.

"....who did it!"

Song Sheng had a low voice and looked at the other party sadly. On the bed, Tang Dezhi was leaning on the head of the bed. He could see that there was nothing under his thighs except two lumps of flesh wrapped in gauze.

Tang Dezhi had a sad look on his face, his head lowered and his eyes dull.

Mr. Tang's nose twitched and his eyes were watery. He patted the other party's shoulder sadly. Tang Dezhi covered his face and did not respond.

Mr. Tang helped the other person lie down, covered him with a quilt, and exited the room softly.

Song Sheng remembered the purpose of this visit, and first talked about Zhao Zhengming's bad qualities. Mr. Tang listened quietly, and then asked about Tang Dezhi's situation.

"Mr. Tang, what's going on? Didn't you say that you are still in Councilor Liu's house, and Dezhi is following his son?" Song Sheng's tone was solemn, and he was extremely puzzled.

"Zhao Zhengming is my reward, success is my retribution," Mr. Tang said calmly.

"I went through fire and water for Councilor Liu, and instead offended his son. That man bluntly said he didn't like me, and Councilor Liu abandoned me easily, even though I saved his life!"

Mr. Tang's tone suddenly worsened, and a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.

"...I understand that Dezhi's leg was broken by that person's plan. I was not willing to accept it, so I left my old face and ran to question Councilor Liu. Haha, he said that he would do his best to find the culprit, who was obviously his son. ....”

Mr. Tang's voice became lower, his eyes were blank, and his expression was painful.

"...So, what about Zhao Zhengming?"

Song Sheng had a bad feeling.

"It was the compensation that Congressman Liu gave me privately. I also understood the situation. He is really a genius and has the hope of entering Qingjing Academy. He was trained by another Congressman, although for some reason he was given to Congressman Liu... ."

Mr. Tang told the story with a numb expression. He glanced at Song Sheng, who had a tangled expression, took a deep breath, and suddenly knocked to the ground, his head pressed tightly against the ground.

"I'm begging you, Xiaosheng. Considering how Uncle Tang has taken care of you in the past, please don't fire him."

"He is my uncle's only hope for revenge..."

Song Sheng suddenly panicked and threw himself on the ground, trying to help him up, but Mr. Tang's weak body felt like it was taking root on the ground and just couldn't get up.

"If you don't agree to it, uncle, I won't get up!"

Song Sheng looked blankly at the sparse silver hair on the other person's head, and suddenly thought that the strong middle-aged man had become so old now, and he made a low-pitched promise.

He didn't know how to leave the Tang family after that, as if he was sleepwalking, he was just immersed in memories.

"coax!"

Song Sheng was suddenly startled, and a person rushed directly in front of him.

"Hey, Lao Song, I finally caught you. I've been contacting you on my wrist recently, and you keep saying you're not available. Now, I've caught you, haha, let's go! Let's go!"

On the way back, passing by a house with red eaves, a figure stopped the distracted Song Sheng.

The other person had gray hair that reached his shoulders, wore black-rimmed glasses, and had a lewd smile on his face. He recognized that the other person was Lao Xu, who was also a scholar with him, but the other person was in better condition than him.

Old Xu pulled Song Sheng and was about to leave. Song Sheng wanted to refuse, but at the moment he felt very tired and didn't want to think about so many problems. Thinking that Xiao De might not come back today, he simply went to indulge.

Lao Xu excitedly pulled Song Sheng onto his float. The vehicle quickly climbed up and drove towards the villa area in the black work area with the owner's urgency.

Qi Xiu returned to Song Sheng's residence and knocked on the door. The door opened and Dora went out to greet him.

He learned from the other party that Song Sheng had not come back since he left earlier. He was vaguely worried, but he still had important things to do.

He said goodbye to Dora, went up the stairs, entered his bedroom, and sat in front of the mirror.

In the corner, a shadow floated, and a figure rose from below, lowering his head to show respect to Qi Xiu.

"Master, the character information has been checked, but I have bad news for you. Your qualification is in danger, you are finished!"

Qi Xiu condensed his eyes and looked at Xia Ying with a cold gaze.
