Interstellar first cute pet
Chapter 63
In fact, it's not that Musen didn't care about Rhodes. When Rhodes was just born, he also had expectations for this child. Just like all men who have just become fathers in this world, he also fantasized about fathers and sons. filial piety.
But every time he visited Rhodes, his wife would impatiently let him carry the baby away.
Musen also felt sorry for a child who was not liked by his mother, thinking that the child had nothing to rely on except himself.
Mother doesn't like him, if I don't like him, how can this child grow up safely?
But this feeling and the slightest bit of guilt quickly disappeared.
Because of the way Rhodes looked at him.
Logically speaking, a baby, what eyes can he have?Just crying for milk.
But one afternoon, when Musen saw Rhodes' cold eyes, his fiery heart cooled down.
The child, like his mother, had naturally emotionless eyes.
Later, Qiao Ke was born, a child born to him by the woman Musen really loved.
What's more, Qiao Ke is completely different from Rhodes. Qiao Ke is born as a big fat boy, who can blow his nose and bubbles to be hugged by his father, toddles to learn to walk, and asks Musen for toys coquettishly.
Compared with such children, Rhodes is of course even less favored.
But after all, one is in the old house and the other is in the home he bought, and they can still live in peace.
And Rhodes seems to be born without a heart. When his mother died, Musen was worried about Rhodes and went to see him, but found that the child didn't even shed a tear, and Musen's heart was cold.
And he really disliked Rhodes, it was the year when Qiao Ke found out that he was an illegitimate child.
After all, he was a child raised in the hands of his parents. Qiao Ke always thought that his parents were husband and wife. When he found out that he was just an illegitimate child, his whole cat exploded.
"Dad! My mother has been with you for so many years and gave birth to me. You don't even want to marry her?"
"Dad, how do you want me to tell my classmates in the future that my dad doesn't hold parent-teacher meetings for me because I'm an illegitimate child?"
"Dad, I want face."
It was only at that time that Musen realized that the child was growing up, he wanted to lose face, he wanted to lose face, and he wanted to be born.
But he couldn't open his mouth.
No matter how much he disliked Rhodes, Rhodes was also his legitimate son. Rhodes was not only a child of Patrick's family, but also of his wife's family: a child of Baird's family, he was born as a symbol of cooperation and friendship between the two families.
If he really brought Qiao Ke and his lover back to the old house.
He swore that his father would find a way to kill him, after all, Rhodes was enough.
As a father, he no longer has much use value.
Probably from this time on, Musen regarded Rhodes as an enemy, not a son.
Because everything about Rhodes was not given by him, but by two surnames. Rhodes and him, besides father and son, should be regarded as more competitors.
Because of Rhodes' origin, he was born a head taller than other children.
Even him, a father, can't compare.
After the conflict of interests, the little family affection Musen had for Rhodes eventually disappeared.
"Dad?" Joko watched Musen coming in through the gate. He knew that the old people in the main house were going to talk about something together tonight, but it was just that Rhodes had become the uncrowned king of the empire.
In fact, Qiao Ke doesn't care about this. The reason why he hates Rhodes is actually simpler.
He was jealous that Rhodes was born with a low and noble position, that Rhodes was a legitimate descendant of the Patrick family, and that Rhodes was a legitimate heir no matter whether he was favored or not.
But he is different, he has nothing but Musen's love.
Even after his mom got older, Musen had several young lovers outside.
Qiao Ke knows that Qiao Ke is also very angry, but it is useless to be angry. He understands that he wants to get more, so he can only beg his father.
Munsen must not be made to hate him.
Musen likes him being silly and filial, so he can always play the role of a loving father and a silly but filial son with Musen.
But Musen really liked him, and even made people tamper with him on the battlefield for him. He originally planned to kill Rhodes, but Rhodes was lucky and only had a broken tail.
That was the closest Joco got to his goal.
Because as long as Rhodes died on the battlefield, those old immortals and the Bedells would not be able to speak.
In that case, as Musen's only son, even if he was an illegitimate child, those old people could only admit his identity by pinching their noses.
Musen walked into the house and sat on the sofa. He knew his son just like Joko knew him. He sighed: "I'm going to see Rhodes."
Joko didn't speak, just stared at Msen.
Musen took a sip of water. Qiao Ke's mother stood in the porch and looked at the father and son. She was a little dazed, not knowing whether to enter or retreat. Ever since Musen had other cats outside, she knew that she could only count on own son.
But after all, she is not a very smart woman. She was just good-looking when she was young, so Musen took a fancy to her.
At that time, Musen was good-looking, had a good family, and was almost a perfect lover.
When Musen pursued her, he also said that he and his wife were in a political marriage, a game of interests between the two families.
His wife doesn't care about him, and he doesn't care about his own wife. Even if his wife cuckolds him, he doesn't care as long as he doesn't produce a child.
Probably because he was convinced by Musen's sincerity, or because he thought he had met love.
He has followed Musen for more than 20 years in such a shameful way.
At this age, she began to regret it.
She could have found an ordinary cat, even if she wasn't very rich and had little status, but they would have a home.
She will be a good partner, a good mother.
This is because of her youthful vigor, and because of the illusion of true love, she has lived so many years in shame, and let her son live like this for so many years.
"Mom?" Qiao Ke followed Musen's line of sight to see his mother, and he immediately said, "Go back to your room to rest and go to bed early."
The woman nodded, and entered the bedroom a little helplessly.
Then Musen continued: "He is different now. Although he was an admiral before, he was a polished commander after all. As long as I am still at Patrick's house, I don't have to look at his face or be afraid of him."
"But he is now the ruler of the empire, and it may not be long before he will become the third emperor after the unification of the empire."
"I've thought about it. He is my son after all. I'll put down my face and talk to him. When the time comes, I'll let you go to the State Council. Even if it's just a strike, keep a low profile."
Qiao Ke nodded, with a very respectful attitude: "Dad, I know, I must be a cat with my tail between my legs."
Musen is very satisfied with Qiao Ke's attitude: "Father is also thinking about you, and Rhodes is looking at my face, and the position given to you will definitely not be too low. You are not in a hurry these few years, wait until you gain a firm foothold Say it again."
"Rhodes was able to overthrow Hemai because of his bad luck. Hemai was ambitious, but he was not smart, so he was lucky. If Hemai was unlucky, Rhodes could overthrow him."
"Wait a few years, and Rhodes will make mistakes for the first time when he governs the empire. As long as he makes mistakes, he will be easy to deal with."
Qiao Ke hesitated: "But... at home."
Musen waved his hand: "Your grandfather and the others didn't think so simply. So what if Rhodes became the emperor? If he is not obedient, he will be no different from Hermione. Then they will know you are fine."
Joko nodded, but his eyes were dark.
Yes, be obedient, what the Patrick family wanted was never talents, but puppets who were 100% for the sake of the family.
But Rhodes is very busy now, and even if Musen rushes over now, he won't have time to see his father.
Rhodes now has to deal with political affairs during the day—actually holding meetings and approving documents, but these things are indispensable. The top priority now is to solve the refugee problem first, and then solve the previous generals. Andrew was locked up, Ai Li is also locked up, and there are three other generals who are also locked up now.
In short, from the moment he opened his eyes, Rhodes was going to be busy with the meeting, and Ye Feiran insisted on getting up with him to eat something at first, but then he stopped getting up, anyway, the alarm clock couldn't wake Ye Feiran up.
Finally, Rhodes took a rest for a day and spent a day at home with Ye Feiran in his arms.
As a result, when he got up early the next morning, he saw, what a pity, Ye Feiran, who was clearly already an adult, turned into a Kirby again.
Rhodes was dumbfounded.
Ye Feiran looked at his little hands and feet, and his adaptability was quite good: "It's fine if you get smaller, you're like a donkey."
Rhodes was a little embarrassed by what Ye Feiran said, and he quickly promised: "It won't happen next time, I will definitely restrain myself."
Ye Feiran went to wash with his short legs, and Rhodes had to watch from the side, lending a hand at any time, even hugging Ye Feiran when Ye Feiran was out of reach.
Ye Feiran nestled in Rhodes' arms, feeling that he had become a baby, because he knew that he would transform back after his mental power recovered, so he was not in a hurry, but rather beautiful.
He even hooked Rhodes' neck and said, "Look in the mirror, do you look like my dad?"
Rhodes' face was darkened, he touched his chin: "I look so old?"
Ye Feiran laughed out loud.
Rhodes had never cared about his appearance before. Although Rhodes never said it, he still had a sense of arrogance in his heart.
He doesn't compare himself with others, but he just refuses to admit defeat and tries to do his best in everything he does.
After Rhodes left home, Ian came out of the room. Ian was teasing the little black cat, and he fed breakfast to the little black cat.
Ye Feiran sat on the chair and watched, feeling a little strange: "You spoiled her too much."
Ian smiled: "What is this?"
The little black cat meowed, as if it fit Ian's words.
After breakfast, and resting for a while, Ye Feiran and Ian went out for a walk together. The patients in the barracks had returned to their posts except for those who needed to rest. Now the imperial capital is in chaos.
But the good thing is that the slums are not as bad as they used to be. It's not a complete makeover, but it's better than before.
At least clean drinking water can be guaranteed, food is not as short as before, Rhodes even sent a lot of tents over.
Compared with the slums in the imperial capital, the life of the refugees on Hailing Star is like heaven and earth.
Although they were brought to Tianhe, the aborigines of Tianhe are all good-natured people. These neighbors have no fighting spirit. Everyone feels pitiful.
So they found a job smoothly, and no one scolded them.
Joel moved into a small house with his mother and sister.
They were very worried at first, because they knew that the imperial capital was in chaos, and they probably wouldn't be able to go back to Hailingxing.
The soldiers also left one after another, and they didn't have much savings in their hands. They thought they would become refugees again as before.
But the people at Tianhexing are so nice, they even introduced my mother to a job as a cashier in a bakery.
Although they didn't earn much, it was enough for their family of three to eat and rent a house.
"Mom, I'll be an apprentice in a restaurant in two days." Joel said vaguely while eating the bread Sarah brought back.
Sarah nodded, and she also hoped that her son would learn more skills: "Go, if you can endure hardship, don't cry tired."
Joel responded: "I know."
But Joel's goal is not simply to be a cook, or just to make a living.
He has seen Rhodes, even though he has only seen him from a distance, but he still remembers Rhodes' aura.
Rhodes is always the most eye-catching one in the crowd.
It's not about the appearance. From such a distance, who can see the face clearly.
What's more important is his aura, even if he covers his face, people can know that he is different.
Joel swallowed the bread, he still wanted to see Teacher Ye again, although he knew it was wishful thinking, but seeing him once was enough.
For this side, he must pay ten times and a hundred times more effort.
I didn't study much at first, and my family was not rich or powerful.
He is poor and white, has no family background, and can only rely on himself.
"In a few years, when I'm an adult, I'll go to the army." Joel said to Sarah, "Even if it's a cooking soldier."
That's why Joel wants to be an apprentice.
The conditions for being a soldier are very strict. After all, one has a strong body, and there are no criminals among the close relatives of the family, and there are other requirements.
Joel felt that if he couldn't be selected into the official military camp, it would be good to be a cook.
It's also a way to climb up.
Sarah sighed and said nothing.
Joel is still young, what a boy of this age wants to do, even if he hits the south wall, he may not necessarily turn back, no matter how much she persuades him, it will be useless.
After another two months, Rhodes finally had less things in his hands, but it is estimated that Ye Feiran was tossed too much by him, and he didn't respond before, but it broke out once, and he didn't recover after two months, and he was still stuck. than people look.
Rhodes was afraid that he would be bored at home, so he would take him to the command post. Generally, Rhodes would read documents while Ye Feiran read books or TV shows on the sofa next to him.
Ye Feiran would not bother Rhodes at that time, but would watch Rhodes handle political affairs with relish.
He still wondered whether he was the king's man now?
Hey, this feels quite beautiful.
When the soldiers came to inform Musen that he was coming, Rhodes had just written a note on the document. Ye Feiran saw that his hands paused obviously, but soon continued to write the note.
Rhodes didn't raise his head: "Let him in."
Ye Feiran sighed, he had to play the role of a Kirby in front of outsiders, and he couldn't show his secrets, so he couldn't even read the book.
Rhodes glanced at Ye Feiran with comfort in his eyes.
Ye Feiran smiled at him, showing a mouthful of white teeth.
Musen was wearing a well-prepared black suit. After all, he was Rhodes' father. Although Rhodes was not [-]% like him, he was still somewhat similar.
Rhodes' figure is very similar to Musen's, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, but Rhodes's buttocks are more upturned, Ye Feiran thought while looking at it.
Although he came here to get close, Musen didn't act too much like a dog leg, he still carried his father's majesty.
Rhodes put away the documents, stood up and said, "You're here."
Their father and son haven't gotten along for a long time, and they have long forgotten what common language they have.
For Rhodes, Bazel was more of a father than Msen.
"It's a bit late." Musen smiled, looking like a loving father, but both Rhodes and himself knew that it was fake, and the fake ones were like jade made of plastic, which could be seen at a glance .
When Musen saw Ye Feiran, he was a little surprised: "This is your Kirby, right? It's been so long..."
He didn't believe that Rhodes would be careful enough to keep looking at his Kirby. It was a miracle that this Kirby didn't die during the war in the imperial capital.
Rhodes didn't plan to talk about Ye Feiran with Musen, so he changed the subject: "Sit down, what do you want me to do?"
Musen didn't directly explain why he came here. After all, he knew that he and Rhodes didn't have much relationship. Fortunately, Rhodes never went to find out who was behind him and made him lose his tail.
I guess he really thought he was injured by the enemy on the battlefield, right?
"Long time no see, come to see you, after all, we are father and son." Musen didn't say anything provocative, which made it more sincere, just like any ordinary father who doesn't know how to express his feelings.
Rhodes showed a slight smile, which was very shallow, but it was a smile after all, which made Musen feel a little relieved: "I have been too busy these days, and I planned to go back to my old age when I stabilized." Take a look at the house, and I will chat with my grandfather when the time comes."
Musen waved his hand: "Now is a busy time, so I'm not in a hurry to go back and watch it. You know, we parents are satisfied as long as we know that our children are safe."
After finishing speaking, Musen sighed again: "Time flies too fast. I still remember that when you slapped your palm, you couldn't open your eyes. It was also the first time I became a father at that time. Wipe it for you, and lick you seriously."
Ye Feiran choked on a mouthful of saliva, and coughed heart-piercingly.
Rhodes quickly hugged Ye Feiran and patted him on the back, but he still wanted to say to Musen: "He has a bad stomach recently."
Musen nodded blankly.
Ye Feiran thought of when Rhodes was just born, Musen became a big cat, and licked Rhodes' lanugo carefully. No matter how he thought about it, he thought it was cute and ridiculous.
Rhodes also followed Msen's words: "I was young at that time, so I don't remember, but I remember when I was five years old, you gave me a knife."
Musen smiled: "You still remember, I forgot, it's too far away from now."
Rhodes nodded: "Yes, it's been so many years in a flash."
It was like two old men reminiscing about their youth, Ye Feiran covered his mouth for fear of laughing.
Musen sighed and said affectionately: "I was sorry for you at that time. I was also a first-time father. I didn't do well enough."
Rhodes shook his head: "You are very good, I can stand on my own, and I also have your credit."
Without the care of my mother and father, I was alone at a young age without even a friend, so I had to be self-reliant.
Musen was choked, but he reacted quickly and said with a smile: "Yes, you are more capable than other children, and you don't need to worry about it when you are young."
Rhodes suddenly said, "Dad, is there something wrong with you?"
God knows, Munson is not stupid enough to think that he hasn't seen him for so many years. Just a few words of his own can make Rhodes put Choco into the State Department. No matter how naive he is, he is not so naive.
Just when Musen was about to deny it, Rhodes said again: "I know that the family must not be able to sit still now. I originally wanted my cousins to come over to help, but now it's in such a mess that it would be a headache for my cousins to come over. "
Musen was stupid, he didn't pay attention to the sons of his brothers at all.
Those children are useless at all. After all, a family like theirs has a lot of rules. He himself is the eldest brother and the first heir.
Rhodes sighed: "Later, I thought about it. If I let them come over, I would slap you in the face."
Musen was even more stupid, he didn't expect Rhodes to think of him.
"Joko is grown up now." Rhodes said, "It's my younger brother anyway, and you can't take care of him forever."
When Choco was mentioned, Musen's expression changed. It was one thing for him to mention it, but when he came out of Rhodes' mouth, he doubted what Rhodes was going to do to Choco.
Rhodes seemed to understand Musen's concerns, and he continued, "I'm going to let him go to the grassroots to practice first. After all, he is my own brother. Even if he was not born by the same mother, after all, the blood relationship is endless."
"You also know that it is impossible for me to let him become an official directly. Those cats under my hands will definitely make trouble."
"You don't have to worry about what I do to Qiao Ke, after all, you know that I really don't need to take him seriously now."
"I'll transfer him to the State Department when he's established at the grassroots level." Rhodes had a stern face, not joking, "I don't have the energy to take care of family affairs, besides, hand over Patrick's family to I don't worry about other cats either."
Musen nodded in a daze. He didn't know how to refute Rhodes, but he was still very uneasy: "But Qiao Ke, he is still a little restless and frizzy."
Rhodes waved his hand: "So let him go to experience first and go to the grassroots to learn."
Musen said a few more words to Rhodes in a daze, and then left in a daze.
After Musen left, Ye Feiran laughed. He pointed to Rhodes and said, "You have a bad heart."
Rhodes looked innocent.
Ye Feiran pierced him: "Qiao Ke went to the grassroots, and he must be peeled off several layers of skin."
Rhodes smiled and said, "Not for Joko."
"You don't hate them at all?" Ye Feiran asked.
After all, Ye Feiran put himself in the shoes and thought about it, if he were Rhodes, he would definitely hate Yomson to the bottom of his heart.
When there is no benefit, I wish there would be no son Rhodes, and if there is a benefit, I will come to him immediately.
Ever since Rhodes entered the imperial capital, he probably already planned when he would come over.
"These aristocratic families are the tumors of the empire." Rhodes pursed his lips, "It's still benign now, maybe it will become malignant at some point."
Ye Feiran groaned: "Are you going to attack the family?"
Rhodes nodded: "It's not easy."
Bringing down the family is much harder than moving to Hemai.
Hemi loses because there are too few trustworthy people, but the aristocratic family is different. Their hundreds of years of operation have allowed each institution to have their own descendants. Compared with the loyalty cultivated, they trust the bond of blood more.
And history proves that their choice is correct.
But Rhodes suddenly airborne, not only hit Hemi by surprise, but also the aristocratic family had no time to react. The entire imperial capital's organization was completely shaken up.
This made Ye Feiran think of the vassal king. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunqi wanted to cut down the vassal, and finally put himself in it.
Those princes are like the current aristocratic family, who rule one side and dominate one side, and sometimes they even have greater power than the ruler.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang has already paved the way for Zhu Yunqi, but Zhu Yunqi himself made a wrong move.
"No family dares to oppose me yet." Rhodes took a sip of tea. "They are timid now because I just used the knife. After a while, they will show their fangs."
Ye Feiran nodded: "You are going to use Patrick's house to set a goal for them first. As long as you are obedient and don't cause trouble, you will not touch them. But it won't last long, they will always figure it out."
Rhodes nodded: "The aristocratic families will find ways to let their people infiltrate various departments to form an unbreakable alliance and network of relationships. I can't wait until then to do it, and it will be difficult for me."
Rhodes sighed: "I originally wanted to take advantage of the aristocratic family while attacking the imperial capital this time, but I didn't expect Hermai to be so reckless."
Ye Feiran: "..." Blame Hemi?
Ye Feiran sighed: "So you are going to use Patrick's house to stabilize them first, and kill them all when you are free?"
Rhodes nodded.
Ye Feiran asked again: "Where are your father and brother?"
Rhodes thought for a while: "I was going to kill both of their tails, let's see now."
Ye Feiran was confused: "What are you looking at?"
Rhodes pursed his lips: "If they are honest and don't think too much, they can kill their tails and throw them on any planet. If they are not honest, they can't keep their heads, let alone their tails."
Ye Feiran sighed: "Then will you go back to the old house?"
Rhodes nodded: "Go back and have a look this weekend."
He wanted to know how prepared the Patrick family was.
"What about Patrick's family?" Ye Feiran asked again.
Rhodes said: "Them? I'm going to do it at the end of the year. Let's be stable first."
Ye Feiran didn't intend to continue to ask further questions, because from Rhodes's appearance, he knew that the Patrick family was about to be destroyed.
Ye Feiran yawned, and Rhodes held him in his arms very gently.He asked softly, "Do you want to go to sleep first?"
Ye Feiran shook his head: "I see you approving documents."
Rhodes smiled and said: "Okay, you can read more and remember more. If I have anything in the future, you can help me approve it."
Ye Feiran snorted: "I won't give you a free job."
"Do you hate your dad?" Ye Feiran asked.
Ever since Ye Feiran knew Rhodes' life experience, he felt that Rhodes was a little cabbage, no matter how pitiful he looked.
Rhodes shook his head: "It's nothing serious. Although he didn't care much about me, he didn't miss a bite of my food. If he didn't let me break my tail before, maybe I could give him a pension."
Ye Feiran smacked his lips.
But he was smart enough not to ask Rhodes if he hated Joko.
Of course, Rhodes may not hate Choco, but he probably also envied Choco.
Because Qiao Ke is an illegitimate child, but he also has a complete family. Musen protected him very well, almost raising him single-handedly.
Of course, Rhodes, who lacks family affection, would be envious, especially since Choco is Musen's illegitimate son, this envy has become jealousy.
If Qiao Ke was the child of Musen and his mother, he would probably be in a different mood.
After returning home, Musen still didn't recover, and was still dazed. Qiao Ke came out to pick him up, and Musen's cheeks were a little red, but he was also excited: "Rhodes is sensible, I know it's better to have a brother by my side to help. "
Qiao Ke didn't know why, but he still followed Mu Sen with a smile on his face: "What's wrong?"
Musen patted the back of Qiao Ke's hand: "Your brother said that after a while, you will be asked to go to the grassroots to exercise first. According to what he means, it is estimated that you are still in the imperial capital. When you stand firm, you will be transferred to the State Council. .”
Qiao Ke was also taken aback: "Really?"
After asking, he felt a little uncomfortable again. Musen always called Rhodes by his first name in front of him, but this time he called him your brother. What does this mean?
Musen's eyes were a little blurred: "Of course, although I don't know anything about his kid, he never tells lies."
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for many years. He looks stronger than before, and his speech and actions are majestic."
"if……"
"Dad!" Qiao Ke interrupted Musen for the first time, "What's the use of saying this now?"
Musen choked. He wanted to reprimand Qiao Ke, but suddenly found that what Qiao Ke said was right.
After so many years, the family relationship also needs to be maintained, and he has no chance to do anything to make up for it.
Qiao Ke sneered in his heart, he couldn't believe that Musen was suddenly aroused by Rhodes' fatherly love.
Musen is like this, especially he likes to put on a show, and he always looks like a good person in front of everyone.
But as long as it is related to his own interests, he can immediately take off the cloak of hypocrisy.
Qiao Ke only realized it when he grew up.
The reason why Musen treated Rhodes so coldly, and even abused Rhodes with cold violence, was not because he loved himself so much.
Not even because Rhodes was his child with a woman he didn't love.
The most important point is that the existence of Rhodes has divided the benefits he should have received.
From that moment on, he and Rhodes were rivals and enemies, so Msen abandoned Rhodes.
Because in Musen's heart, any family relationship between father and son is fake, and only the right in hand is real.
The birth of Rhodes made Musen realize that if Rhodes grew up smoothly, he might be the biggest stumbling block on his way to become the head of the family.
After all, it is not unheard of for a child to directly surpass his father to become the head of the family in the history of the Patrick family.
Qiao Ke knew that Musen was kind to him, partly because he was his son, and partly because he also had the blood of the Patrick family, and he could control it better than Rhodes.
Moreover, he was an illegitimate child, so if he relied on this alone, he would have to rely on Musen, and he would always flatter his father.
Qiao Ke knew it all, but Qiao Ke didn't say it, he wanted to get more benefits for himself.
Musen was stunned. He thought that Qiao Ke was jealous, so he patted Qiao Ke on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Dad loves you the most."
Qiao Ke leaned on Musen's knee, and he complained like a child: "I know I'm not as capable as him..."
Musen became a little sober: "You are all my sons, no one is incompetent. Besides, Rhodes is also lucky. If you were the one who was sent to the military camp back then, I guess you are more successful than Rhodes now. Still big."
This sentence really comforted Joko, he always believed that it was not that he was worse than Rhodes, but that Rhodes had better luck than himself.
"Now we have to establish a good relationship with Rhodes, at least we must not make him suspicious of us, and even if he has suspicions, we must not be sure." Musen said, "It just so happens that he is going to arrange a job for you. This weekend, I will take you back to the old house."
Qiao Ke raised his head suddenly: "Really?"
Back to the old house!
What a beautiful three words, Qiao Ke has been planning for this for so many years, and finally ushered in this day.
But this day was brought to him by the person he was most jealous of and hated the most.
Qiao Ke asked again: "The grandfather and uncle, won't they have something to say? Will they really accept me? Dad, I'm a little scared."
He was starting to show weakness, and he wanted to let Musen know that he would never escape his control.
Only in this way can you be safe.
He doesn't want to be the second Rhodes at this time.
At that time, Rhodes still had the support of his family and mother clan. He could not be an officer within half a year after entering the barracks.
Without Musen's favor, he was nothing.
Musen smiled and said: "Of course, those old bastards don't dare to offend Rhodes now, they have to curry favor with him. Don't talk about taking you back, I'll take a Kaby back and say this is my son, They have to admit it too."
Qiao Ke smiled and said, "That's good."
Only in places that Musen couldn't see, Qiao Ke gritted his teeth, trying not to let the resentment appear on his face.
That's right, in Musen's heart, he is probably an obedient Kirby, right?Or the Kirbys who are only related by blood.
He knew that Musen was unreliable, but the only one he could rely on now was Musen.
Rhodes got off work at ten o'clock in the evening. He used to get off work in the early morning. Now that things are much less, he can come back at eight o'clock the next day, so he can sleep well.
In addition, Ye Feiran is getting smaller now, so he can only sleep obediently.
The two of them lay on the bed chatting after taking a shower, and Ye Feiran remembered something while talking: "I forgot, it's time to take a paternity test."
Rhodes laughed: "It's impossible."
Ye Feiran glanced at Rhodes: "Tell me, could the little black cat be your truncated tail?"
Rhodes: "...This is less reliable than giving birth to me with your belly."
Ye Feiran glared at Rhodes: "Why didn't you use your stomach to give birth to me?"
Rhodes also said with a serious face: "Karbys can reproduce themselves. Although you are an earthling, you are very similar to Kirbys, so compared to me, you may have the ability to reproduce."
"Come on." Ye Feiran bit Rhodes' finger, "The more you talk, the more it is going too far."
But Ye Feiran still remembered to get the certification report early the next morning.
Originally, Zhinao could directly contact the medical school, but because it was a paternity test, he still had to get it himself.
This time Ye Feiran didn't let Ian accompany him, Rhodes volunteered to accompany him to get it.
Rhodes still has a bit of a naughty taste. He is going to educate Ye Feiran after seeing the negative answer, and don't listen to it and know that it is a false suggestion.
"Take it home and watch it later." Ye Feiran was very steady.
The two sat on the sofa facing each other, Ye Feiran opened the file bag, took out the few pages and started to read.
Skip everything else and just look at the results.
The coincidence degree of dna is 90.00%.
Ye Feiran spread the thin page in front of Rhodes, folded his arms around his chest, with an expression of "see how you explain it".
Rhodes, who has always had a straight face and a look of bitterness and hatred, was so scared that his eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets for the first time.
But every time he visited Rhodes, his wife would impatiently let him carry the baby away.
Musen also felt sorry for a child who was not liked by his mother, thinking that the child had nothing to rely on except himself.
Mother doesn't like him, if I don't like him, how can this child grow up safely?
But this feeling and the slightest bit of guilt quickly disappeared.
Because of the way Rhodes looked at him.
Logically speaking, a baby, what eyes can he have?Just crying for milk.
But one afternoon, when Musen saw Rhodes' cold eyes, his fiery heart cooled down.
The child, like his mother, had naturally emotionless eyes.
Later, Qiao Ke was born, a child born to him by the woman Musen really loved.
What's more, Qiao Ke is completely different from Rhodes. Qiao Ke is born as a big fat boy, who can blow his nose and bubbles to be hugged by his father, toddles to learn to walk, and asks Musen for toys coquettishly.
Compared with such children, Rhodes is of course even less favored.
But after all, one is in the old house and the other is in the home he bought, and they can still live in peace.
And Rhodes seems to be born without a heart. When his mother died, Musen was worried about Rhodes and went to see him, but found that the child didn't even shed a tear, and Musen's heart was cold.
And he really disliked Rhodes, it was the year when Qiao Ke found out that he was an illegitimate child.
After all, he was a child raised in the hands of his parents. Qiao Ke always thought that his parents were husband and wife. When he found out that he was just an illegitimate child, his whole cat exploded.
"Dad! My mother has been with you for so many years and gave birth to me. You don't even want to marry her?"
"Dad, how do you want me to tell my classmates in the future that my dad doesn't hold parent-teacher meetings for me because I'm an illegitimate child?"
"Dad, I want face."
It was only at that time that Musen realized that the child was growing up, he wanted to lose face, he wanted to lose face, and he wanted to be born.
But he couldn't open his mouth.
No matter how much he disliked Rhodes, Rhodes was also his legitimate son. Rhodes was not only a child of Patrick's family, but also of his wife's family: a child of Baird's family, he was born as a symbol of cooperation and friendship between the two families.
If he really brought Qiao Ke and his lover back to the old house.
He swore that his father would find a way to kill him, after all, Rhodes was enough.
As a father, he no longer has much use value.
Probably from this time on, Musen regarded Rhodes as an enemy, not a son.
Because everything about Rhodes was not given by him, but by two surnames. Rhodes and him, besides father and son, should be regarded as more competitors.
Because of Rhodes' origin, he was born a head taller than other children.
Even him, a father, can't compare.
After the conflict of interests, the little family affection Musen had for Rhodes eventually disappeared.
"Dad?" Joko watched Musen coming in through the gate. He knew that the old people in the main house were going to talk about something together tonight, but it was just that Rhodes had become the uncrowned king of the empire.
In fact, Qiao Ke doesn't care about this. The reason why he hates Rhodes is actually simpler.
He was jealous that Rhodes was born with a low and noble position, that Rhodes was a legitimate descendant of the Patrick family, and that Rhodes was a legitimate heir no matter whether he was favored or not.
But he is different, he has nothing but Musen's love.
Even after his mom got older, Musen had several young lovers outside.
Qiao Ke knows that Qiao Ke is also very angry, but it is useless to be angry. He understands that he wants to get more, so he can only beg his father.
Munsen must not be made to hate him.
Musen likes him being silly and filial, so he can always play the role of a loving father and a silly but filial son with Musen.
But Musen really liked him, and even made people tamper with him on the battlefield for him. He originally planned to kill Rhodes, but Rhodes was lucky and only had a broken tail.
That was the closest Joco got to his goal.
Because as long as Rhodes died on the battlefield, those old immortals and the Bedells would not be able to speak.
In that case, as Musen's only son, even if he was an illegitimate child, those old people could only admit his identity by pinching their noses.
Musen walked into the house and sat on the sofa. He knew his son just like Joko knew him. He sighed: "I'm going to see Rhodes."
Joko didn't speak, just stared at Msen.
Musen took a sip of water. Qiao Ke's mother stood in the porch and looked at the father and son. She was a little dazed, not knowing whether to enter or retreat. Ever since Musen had other cats outside, she knew that she could only count on own son.
But after all, she is not a very smart woman. She was just good-looking when she was young, so Musen took a fancy to her.
At that time, Musen was good-looking, had a good family, and was almost a perfect lover.
When Musen pursued her, he also said that he and his wife were in a political marriage, a game of interests between the two families.
His wife doesn't care about him, and he doesn't care about his own wife. Even if his wife cuckolds him, he doesn't care as long as he doesn't produce a child.
Probably because he was convinced by Musen's sincerity, or because he thought he had met love.
He has followed Musen for more than 20 years in such a shameful way.
At this age, she began to regret it.
She could have found an ordinary cat, even if she wasn't very rich and had little status, but they would have a home.
She will be a good partner, a good mother.
This is because of her youthful vigor, and because of the illusion of true love, she has lived so many years in shame, and let her son live like this for so many years.
"Mom?" Qiao Ke followed Musen's line of sight to see his mother, and he immediately said, "Go back to your room to rest and go to bed early."
The woman nodded, and entered the bedroom a little helplessly.
Then Musen continued: "He is different now. Although he was an admiral before, he was a polished commander after all. As long as I am still at Patrick's house, I don't have to look at his face or be afraid of him."
"But he is now the ruler of the empire, and it may not be long before he will become the third emperor after the unification of the empire."
"I've thought about it. He is my son after all. I'll put down my face and talk to him. When the time comes, I'll let you go to the State Council. Even if it's just a strike, keep a low profile."
Qiao Ke nodded, with a very respectful attitude: "Dad, I know, I must be a cat with my tail between my legs."
Musen is very satisfied with Qiao Ke's attitude: "Father is also thinking about you, and Rhodes is looking at my face, and the position given to you will definitely not be too low. You are not in a hurry these few years, wait until you gain a firm foothold Say it again."
"Rhodes was able to overthrow Hemai because of his bad luck. Hemai was ambitious, but he was not smart, so he was lucky. If Hemai was unlucky, Rhodes could overthrow him."
"Wait a few years, and Rhodes will make mistakes for the first time when he governs the empire. As long as he makes mistakes, he will be easy to deal with."
Qiao Ke hesitated: "But... at home."
Musen waved his hand: "Your grandfather and the others didn't think so simply. So what if Rhodes became the emperor? If he is not obedient, he will be no different from Hermione. Then they will know you are fine."
Joko nodded, but his eyes were dark.
Yes, be obedient, what the Patrick family wanted was never talents, but puppets who were 100% for the sake of the family.
But Rhodes is very busy now, and even if Musen rushes over now, he won't have time to see his father.
Rhodes now has to deal with political affairs during the day—actually holding meetings and approving documents, but these things are indispensable. The top priority now is to solve the refugee problem first, and then solve the previous generals. Andrew was locked up, Ai Li is also locked up, and there are three other generals who are also locked up now.
In short, from the moment he opened his eyes, Rhodes was going to be busy with the meeting, and Ye Feiran insisted on getting up with him to eat something at first, but then he stopped getting up, anyway, the alarm clock couldn't wake Ye Feiran up.
Finally, Rhodes took a rest for a day and spent a day at home with Ye Feiran in his arms.
As a result, when he got up early the next morning, he saw, what a pity, Ye Feiran, who was clearly already an adult, turned into a Kirby again.
Rhodes was dumbfounded.
Ye Feiran looked at his little hands and feet, and his adaptability was quite good: "It's fine if you get smaller, you're like a donkey."
Rhodes was a little embarrassed by what Ye Feiran said, and he quickly promised: "It won't happen next time, I will definitely restrain myself."
Ye Feiran went to wash with his short legs, and Rhodes had to watch from the side, lending a hand at any time, even hugging Ye Feiran when Ye Feiran was out of reach.
Ye Feiran nestled in Rhodes' arms, feeling that he had become a baby, because he knew that he would transform back after his mental power recovered, so he was not in a hurry, but rather beautiful.
He even hooked Rhodes' neck and said, "Look in the mirror, do you look like my dad?"
Rhodes' face was darkened, he touched his chin: "I look so old?"
Ye Feiran laughed out loud.
Rhodes had never cared about his appearance before. Although Rhodes never said it, he still had a sense of arrogance in his heart.
He doesn't compare himself with others, but he just refuses to admit defeat and tries to do his best in everything he does.
After Rhodes left home, Ian came out of the room. Ian was teasing the little black cat, and he fed breakfast to the little black cat.
Ye Feiran sat on the chair and watched, feeling a little strange: "You spoiled her too much."
Ian smiled: "What is this?"
The little black cat meowed, as if it fit Ian's words.
After breakfast, and resting for a while, Ye Feiran and Ian went out for a walk together. The patients in the barracks had returned to their posts except for those who needed to rest. Now the imperial capital is in chaos.
But the good thing is that the slums are not as bad as they used to be. It's not a complete makeover, but it's better than before.
At least clean drinking water can be guaranteed, food is not as short as before, Rhodes even sent a lot of tents over.
Compared with the slums in the imperial capital, the life of the refugees on Hailing Star is like heaven and earth.
Although they were brought to Tianhe, the aborigines of Tianhe are all good-natured people. These neighbors have no fighting spirit. Everyone feels pitiful.
So they found a job smoothly, and no one scolded them.
Joel moved into a small house with his mother and sister.
They were very worried at first, because they knew that the imperial capital was in chaos, and they probably wouldn't be able to go back to Hailingxing.
The soldiers also left one after another, and they didn't have much savings in their hands. They thought they would become refugees again as before.
But the people at Tianhexing are so nice, they even introduced my mother to a job as a cashier in a bakery.
Although they didn't earn much, it was enough for their family of three to eat and rent a house.
"Mom, I'll be an apprentice in a restaurant in two days." Joel said vaguely while eating the bread Sarah brought back.
Sarah nodded, and she also hoped that her son would learn more skills: "Go, if you can endure hardship, don't cry tired."
Joel responded: "I know."
But Joel's goal is not simply to be a cook, or just to make a living.
He has seen Rhodes, even though he has only seen him from a distance, but he still remembers Rhodes' aura.
Rhodes is always the most eye-catching one in the crowd.
It's not about the appearance. From such a distance, who can see the face clearly.
What's more important is his aura, even if he covers his face, people can know that he is different.
Joel swallowed the bread, he still wanted to see Teacher Ye again, although he knew it was wishful thinking, but seeing him once was enough.
For this side, he must pay ten times and a hundred times more effort.
I didn't study much at first, and my family was not rich or powerful.
He is poor and white, has no family background, and can only rely on himself.
"In a few years, when I'm an adult, I'll go to the army." Joel said to Sarah, "Even if it's a cooking soldier."
That's why Joel wants to be an apprentice.
The conditions for being a soldier are very strict. After all, one has a strong body, and there are no criminals among the close relatives of the family, and there are other requirements.
Joel felt that if he couldn't be selected into the official military camp, it would be good to be a cook.
It's also a way to climb up.
Sarah sighed and said nothing.
Joel is still young, what a boy of this age wants to do, even if he hits the south wall, he may not necessarily turn back, no matter how much she persuades him, it will be useless.
After another two months, Rhodes finally had less things in his hands, but it is estimated that Ye Feiran was tossed too much by him, and he didn't respond before, but it broke out once, and he didn't recover after two months, and he was still stuck. than people look.
Rhodes was afraid that he would be bored at home, so he would take him to the command post. Generally, Rhodes would read documents while Ye Feiran read books or TV shows on the sofa next to him.
Ye Feiran would not bother Rhodes at that time, but would watch Rhodes handle political affairs with relish.
He still wondered whether he was the king's man now?
Hey, this feels quite beautiful.
When the soldiers came to inform Musen that he was coming, Rhodes had just written a note on the document. Ye Feiran saw that his hands paused obviously, but soon continued to write the note.
Rhodes didn't raise his head: "Let him in."
Ye Feiran sighed, he had to play the role of a Kirby in front of outsiders, and he couldn't show his secrets, so he couldn't even read the book.
Rhodes glanced at Ye Feiran with comfort in his eyes.
Ye Feiran smiled at him, showing a mouthful of white teeth.
Musen was wearing a well-prepared black suit. After all, he was Rhodes' father. Although Rhodes was not [-]% like him, he was still somewhat similar.
Rhodes' figure is very similar to Musen's, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, but Rhodes's buttocks are more upturned, Ye Feiran thought while looking at it.
Although he came here to get close, Musen didn't act too much like a dog leg, he still carried his father's majesty.
Rhodes put away the documents, stood up and said, "You're here."
Their father and son haven't gotten along for a long time, and they have long forgotten what common language they have.
For Rhodes, Bazel was more of a father than Msen.
"It's a bit late." Musen smiled, looking like a loving father, but both Rhodes and himself knew that it was fake, and the fake ones were like jade made of plastic, which could be seen at a glance .
When Musen saw Ye Feiran, he was a little surprised: "This is your Kirby, right? It's been so long..."
He didn't believe that Rhodes would be careful enough to keep looking at his Kirby. It was a miracle that this Kirby didn't die during the war in the imperial capital.
Rhodes didn't plan to talk about Ye Feiran with Musen, so he changed the subject: "Sit down, what do you want me to do?"
Musen didn't directly explain why he came here. After all, he knew that he and Rhodes didn't have much relationship. Fortunately, Rhodes never went to find out who was behind him and made him lose his tail.
I guess he really thought he was injured by the enemy on the battlefield, right?
"Long time no see, come to see you, after all, we are father and son." Musen didn't say anything provocative, which made it more sincere, just like any ordinary father who doesn't know how to express his feelings.
Rhodes showed a slight smile, which was very shallow, but it was a smile after all, which made Musen feel a little relieved: "I have been too busy these days, and I planned to go back to my old age when I stabilized." Take a look at the house, and I will chat with my grandfather when the time comes."
Musen waved his hand: "Now is a busy time, so I'm not in a hurry to go back and watch it. You know, we parents are satisfied as long as we know that our children are safe."
After finishing speaking, Musen sighed again: "Time flies too fast. I still remember that when you slapped your palm, you couldn't open your eyes. It was also the first time I became a father at that time. Wipe it for you, and lick you seriously."
Ye Feiran choked on a mouthful of saliva, and coughed heart-piercingly.
Rhodes quickly hugged Ye Feiran and patted him on the back, but he still wanted to say to Musen: "He has a bad stomach recently."
Musen nodded blankly.
Ye Feiran thought of when Rhodes was just born, Musen became a big cat, and licked Rhodes' lanugo carefully. No matter how he thought about it, he thought it was cute and ridiculous.
Rhodes also followed Msen's words: "I was young at that time, so I don't remember, but I remember when I was five years old, you gave me a knife."
Musen smiled: "You still remember, I forgot, it's too far away from now."
Rhodes nodded: "Yes, it's been so many years in a flash."
It was like two old men reminiscing about their youth, Ye Feiran covered his mouth for fear of laughing.
Musen sighed and said affectionately: "I was sorry for you at that time. I was also a first-time father. I didn't do well enough."
Rhodes shook his head: "You are very good, I can stand on my own, and I also have your credit."
Without the care of my mother and father, I was alone at a young age without even a friend, so I had to be self-reliant.
Musen was choked, but he reacted quickly and said with a smile: "Yes, you are more capable than other children, and you don't need to worry about it when you are young."
Rhodes suddenly said, "Dad, is there something wrong with you?"
God knows, Munson is not stupid enough to think that he hasn't seen him for so many years. Just a few words of his own can make Rhodes put Choco into the State Department. No matter how naive he is, he is not so naive.
Just when Musen was about to deny it, Rhodes said again: "I know that the family must not be able to sit still now. I originally wanted my cousins to come over to help, but now it's in such a mess that it would be a headache for my cousins to come over. "
Musen was stupid, he didn't pay attention to the sons of his brothers at all.
Those children are useless at all. After all, a family like theirs has a lot of rules. He himself is the eldest brother and the first heir.
Rhodes sighed: "Later, I thought about it. If I let them come over, I would slap you in the face."
Musen was even more stupid, he didn't expect Rhodes to think of him.
"Joko is grown up now." Rhodes said, "It's my younger brother anyway, and you can't take care of him forever."
When Choco was mentioned, Musen's expression changed. It was one thing for him to mention it, but when he came out of Rhodes' mouth, he doubted what Rhodes was going to do to Choco.
Rhodes seemed to understand Musen's concerns, and he continued, "I'm going to let him go to the grassroots to practice first. After all, he is my own brother. Even if he was not born by the same mother, after all, the blood relationship is endless."
"You also know that it is impossible for me to let him become an official directly. Those cats under my hands will definitely make trouble."
"You don't have to worry about what I do to Qiao Ke, after all, you know that I really don't need to take him seriously now."
"I'll transfer him to the State Department when he's established at the grassroots level." Rhodes had a stern face, not joking, "I don't have the energy to take care of family affairs, besides, hand over Patrick's family to I don't worry about other cats either."
Musen nodded in a daze. He didn't know how to refute Rhodes, but he was still very uneasy: "But Qiao Ke, he is still a little restless and frizzy."
Rhodes waved his hand: "So let him go to experience first and go to the grassroots to learn."
Musen said a few more words to Rhodes in a daze, and then left in a daze.
After Musen left, Ye Feiran laughed. He pointed to Rhodes and said, "You have a bad heart."
Rhodes looked innocent.
Ye Feiran pierced him: "Qiao Ke went to the grassroots, and he must be peeled off several layers of skin."
Rhodes smiled and said, "Not for Joko."
"You don't hate them at all?" Ye Feiran asked.
After all, Ye Feiran put himself in the shoes and thought about it, if he were Rhodes, he would definitely hate Yomson to the bottom of his heart.
When there is no benefit, I wish there would be no son Rhodes, and if there is a benefit, I will come to him immediately.
Ever since Rhodes entered the imperial capital, he probably already planned when he would come over.
"These aristocratic families are the tumors of the empire." Rhodes pursed his lips, "It's still benign now, maybe it will become malignant at some point."
Ye Feiran groaned: "Are you going to attack the family?"
Rhodes nodded: "It's not easy."
Bringing down the family is much harder than moving to Hemai.
Hemi loses because there are too few trustworthy people, but the aristocratic family is different. Their hundreds of years of operation have allowed each institution to have their own descendants. Compared with the loyalty cultivated, they trust the bond of blood more.
And history proves that their choice is correct.
But Rhodes suddenly airborne, not only hit Hemi by surprise, but also the aristocratic family had no time to react. The entire imperial capital's organization was completely shaken up.
This made Ye Feiran think of the vassal king. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunqi wanted to cut down the vassal, and finally put himself in it.
Those princes are like the current aristocratic family, who rule one side and dominate one side, and sometimes they even have greater power than the ruler.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang has already paved the way for Zhu Yunqi, but Zhu Yunqi himself made a wrong move.
"No family dares to oppose me yet." Rhodes took a sip of tea. "They are timid now because I just used the knife. After a while, they will show their fangs."
Ye Feiran nodded: "You are going to use Patrick's house to set a goal for them first. As long as you are obedient and don't cause trouble, you will not touch them. But it won't last long, they will always figure it out."
Rhodes nodded: "The aristocratic families will find ways to let their people infiltrate various departments to form an unbreakable alliance and network of relationships. I can't wait until then to do it, and it will be difficult for me."
Rhodes sighed: "I originally wanted to take advantage of the aristocratic family while attacking the imperial capital this time, but I didn't expect Hermai to be so reckless."
Ye Feiran: "..." Blame Hemi?
Ye Feiran sighed: "So you are going to use Patrick's house to stabilize them first, and kill them all when you are free?"
Rhodes nodded.
Ye Feiran asked again: "Where are your father and brother?"
Rhodes thought for a while: "I was going to kill both of their tails, let's see now."
Ye Feiran was confused: "What are you looking at?"
Rhodes pursed his lips: "If they are honest and don't think too much, they can kill their tails and throw them on any planet. If they are not honest, they can't keep their heads, let alone their tails."
Ye Feiran sighed: "Then will you go back to the old house?"
Rhodes nodded: "Go back and have a look this weekend."
He wanted to know how prepared the Patrick family was.
"What about Patrick's family?" Ye Feiran asked again.
Rhodes said: "Them? I'm going to do it at the end of the year. Let's be stable first."
Ye Feiran didn't intend to continue to ask further questions, because from Rhodes's appearance, he knew that the Patrick family was about to be destroyed.
Ye Feiran yawned, and Rhodes held him in his arms very gently.He asked softly, "Do you want to go to sleep first?"
Ye Feiran shook his head: "I see you approving documents."
Rhodes smiled and said: "Okay, you can read more and remember more. If I have anything in the future, you can help me approve it."
Ye Feiran snorted: "I won't give you a free job."
"Do you hate your dad?" Ye Feiran asked.
Ever since Ye Feiran knew Rhodes' life experience, he felt that Rhodes was a little cabbage, no matter how pitiful he looked.
Rhodes shook his head: "It's nothing serious. Although he didn't care much about me, he didn't miss a bite of my food. If he didn't let me break my tail before, maybe I could give him a pension."
Ye Feiran smacked his lips.
But he was smart enough not to ask Rhodes if he hated Joko.
Of course, Rhodes may not hate Choco, but he probably also envied Choco.
Because Qiao Ke is an illegitimate child, but he also has a complete family. Musen protected him very well, almost raising him single-handedly.
Of course, Rhodes, who lacks family affection, would be envious, especially since Choco is Musen's illegitimate son, this envy has become jealousy.
If Qiao Ke was the child of Musen and his mother, he would probably be in a different mood.
After returning home, Musen still didn't recover, and was still dazed. Qiao Ke came out to pick him up, and Musen's cheeks were a little red, but he was also excited: "Rhodes is sensible, I know it's better to have a brother by my side to help. "
Qiao Ke didn't know why, but he still followed Mu Sen with a smile on his face: "What's wrong?"
Musen patted the back of Qiao Ke's hand: "Your brother said that after a while, you will be asked to go to the grassroots to exercise first. According to what he means, it is estimated that you are still in the imperial capital. When you stand firm, you will be transferred to the State Council. .”
Qiao Ke was also taken aback: "Really?"
After asking, he felt a little uncomfortable again. Musen always called Rhodes by his first name in front of him, but this time he called him your brother. What does this mean?
Musen's eyes were a little blurred: "Of course, although I don't know anything about his kid, he never tells lies."
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for many years. He looks stronger than before, and his speech and actions are majestic."
"if……"
"Dad!" Qiao Ke interrupted Musen for the first time, "What's the use of saying this now?"
Musen choked. He wanted to reprimand Qiao Ke, but suddenly found that what Qiao Ke said was right.
After so many years, the family relationship also needs to be maintained, and he has no chance to do anything to make up for it.
Qiao Ke sneered in his heart, he couldn't believe that Musen was suddenly aroused by Rhodes' fatherly love.
Musen is like this, especially he likes to put on a show, and he always looks like a good person in front of everyone.
But as long as it is related to his own interests, he can immediately take off the cloak of hypocrisy.
Qiao Ke only realized it when he grew up.
The reason why Musen treated Rhodes so coldly, and even abused Rhodes with cold violence, was not because he loved himself so much.
Not even because Rhodes was his child with a woman he didn't love.
The most important point is that the existence of Rhodes has divided the benefits he should have received.
From that moment on, he and Rhodes were rivals and enemies, so Msen abandoned Rhodes.
Because in Musen's heart, any family relationship between father and son is fake, and only the right in hand is real.
The birth of Rhodes made Musen realize that if Rhodes grew up smoothly, he might be the biggest stumbling block on his way to become the head of the family.
After all, it is not unheard of for a child to directly surpass his father to become the head of the family in the history of the Patrick family.
Qiao Ke knew that Musen was kind to him, partly because he was his son, and partly because he also had the blood of the Patrick family, and he could control it better than Rhodes.
Moreover, he was an illegitimate child, so if he relied on this alone, he would have to rely on Musen, and he would always flatter his father.
Qiao Ke knew it all, but Qiao Ke didn't say it, he wanted to get more benefits for himself.
Musen was stunned. He thought that Qiao Ke was jealous, so he patted Qiao Ke on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Dad loves you the most."
Qiao Ke leaned on Musen's knee, and he complained like a child: "I know I'm not as capable as him..."
Musen became a little sober: "You are all my sons, no one is incompetent. Besides, Rhodes is also lucky. If you were the one who was sent to the military camp back then, I guess you are more successful than Rhodes now. Still big."
This sentence really comforted Joko, he always believed that it was not that he was worse than Rhodes, but that Rhodes had better luck than himself.
"Now we have to establish a good relationship with Rhodes, at least we must not make him suspicious of us, and even if he has suspicions, we must not be sure." Musen said, "It just so happens that he is going to arrange a job for you. This weekend, I will take you back to the old house."
Qiao Ke raised his head suddenly: "Really?"
Back to the old house!
What a beautiful three words, Qiao Ke has been planning for this for so many years, and finally ushered in this day.
But this day was brought to him by the person he was most jealous of and hated the most.
Qiao Ke asked again: "The grandfather and uncle, won't they have something to say? Will they really accept me? Dad, I'm a little scared."
He was starting to show weakness, and he wanted to let Musen know that he would never escape his control.
Only in this way can you be safe.
He doesn't want to be the second Rhodes at this time.
At that time, Rhodes still had the support of his family and mother clan. He could not be an officer within half a year after entering the barracks.
Without Musen's favor, he was nothing.
Musen smiled and said: "Of course, those old bastards don't dare to offend Rhodes now, they have to curry favor with him. Don't talk about taking you back, I'll take a Kaby back and say this is my son, They have to admit it too."
Qiao Ke smiled and said, "That's good."
Only in places that Musen couldn't see, Qiao Ke gritted his teeth, trying not to let the resentment appear on his face.
That's right, in Musen's heart, he is probably an obedient Kirby, right?Or the Kirbys who are only related by blood.
He knew that Musen was unreliable, but the only one he could rely on now was Musen.
Rhodes got off work at ten o'clock in the evening. He used to get off work in the early morning. Now that things are much less, he can come back at eight o'clock the next day, so he can sleep well.
In addition, Ye Feiran is getting smaller now, so he can only sleep obediently.
The two of them lay on the bed chatting after taking a shower, and Ye Feiran remembered something while talking: "I forgot, it's time to take a paternity test."
Rhodes laughed: "It's impossible."
Ye Feiran glanced at Rhodes: "Tell me, could the little black cat be your truncated tail?"
Rhodes: "...This is less reliable than giving birth to me with your belly."
Ye Feiran glared at Rhodes: "Why didn't you use your stomach to give birth to me?"
Rhodes also said with a serious face: "Karbys can reproduce themselves. Although you are an earthling, you are very similar to Kirbys, so compared to me, you may have the ability to reproduce."
"Come on." Ye Feiran bit Rhodes' finger, "The more you talk, the more it is going too far."
But Ye Feiran still remembered to get the certification report early the next morning.
Originally, Zhinao could directly contact the medical school, but because it was a paternity test, he still had to get it himself.
This time Ye Feiran didn't let Ian accompany him, Rhodes volunteered to accompany him to get it.
Rhodes still has a bit of a naughty taste. He is going to educate Ye Feiran after seeing the negative answer, and don't listen to it and know that it is a false suggestion.
"Take it home and watch it later." Ye Feiran was very steady.
The two sat on the sofa facing each other, Ye Feiran opened the file bag, took out the few pages and started to read.
Skip everything else and just look at the results.
The coincidence degree of dna is 90.00%.
Ye Feiran spread the thin page in front of Rhodes, folded his arms around his chest, with an expression of "see how you explain it".
Rhodes, who has always had a straight face and a look of bitterness and hatred, was so scared that his eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets for the first time.
