Everyone loves gruel

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the atmosphere at home was still oppressive and condensed.

Lin Xizhou had no prejudice against Lin Chi. After all, Lin Jiyao was a normal man. Since he had no love with his mother and only provided a shelter for the weak mother at that time, it would be fine if he had a romantic relationship and left the child overnight.Perhaps he should also thank Lin Jiyao. Without him, mother's life would be even more difficult--pregnant before marriage, unknown biological father, single mother, every title will bring her endless troubles and public criticism.

But Lin Jiyao was not as open-minded as Lin Xizhou. He hated that Lin Chi broke into their territory and disturbed their lives.

Lin Chi was originally a quiet person, so the dinner table on the second day of the new year was silent.

Mrs. Zhang went home, and they asked the hotel to bring them home for lunch. Both Lin Xizhou and Fantuan liked to eat lobster, so Lin Jiyao ordered two more plates, and a total of three plates of lobster were placed in front of him.

Lin Chi ate in silence, and only ate the few dishes in front of him. Lin Xizhou put a few pieces of lobster meat and fried pork ribs into his bowl, and he ate as usual without saying anything.

Lin Jiyao glanced at them, and put the shelled lobster meat into Lin Xizhou's bowl, "Eat more, today's variety is Australian lobster, I heard the quality is good."

Lin Xizhou ate some, and then put another piece of lobster meat and some boneless pork ribs in his hands and fed them to the rice balls. Samoyed raised his head and chewed, his eyes narrowed with joy.

"Xiao Xi, go wash your hands before eating."

Lin Jiyao held down Lin Xizhou's hand that was about to hold the chopsticks again, and his cold expression of "don't get close to strangers" when he woke up in the morning has only slightly eased now.

The rice ball shook its hair, followed Lin Xizhou to the bathroom, then ran back again, and finally got another piece of lobster meat as it wished.

"Little bastard." Lin Xizhou smiled and rubbed the face of the rice ball.

Then Lin Jiyao ordered him to wash his hands again.

Lin Xizhou: "..."

Fantuan: "...Wang qaq?"

After lunch, the three of them occupied a sofa each, Lin Jiyao was finally willing to take a look at Lin Chi and discuss about his 'illegitimate child'.

"You want to live here forever?"

Lin Jiyao said this in a superior and indifferent tone, which seemed to annoy Lin Chi - he has a sensitive and fragile self-esteem.

"You think I'd like to live here?" Lin Chi retorted, "If it wasn't for my mother's last wish, I wouldn't have come to you even if I died."

"Last wish?" Lin Jiyao sneered, "Why, let you fight for the last wish of the family property?"

"Who cares about your property!" Lin Chi felt insulted, and suddenly raised his voice, "Do you think everyone smells like you?!"

Lin Xizhou looked at Lin Chi with weird eyes. In this society, there are such...noble people, it's really rare.Because of the influence of the Chinese people's thought of emphasizing justice over profit since ancient times, most people don't like to mention the word "money" because they think it is detrimental to their personality.But in life, is there anyone who really doesn't like money?No matter how righteous he said, who wouldn't want to live a rich life?

There may be some, such as some hermits who have gained insights into life through vicissitudes of life, but at the very least, at Lin Chi's age, after experiencing a poor childhood and studying life, he is far from reaching such a noble and selfless ideological realm .

Lin Jiyao obviously thought the same way, and laughed even more mockingly, "Aren't you curious? Why do you think your father let you live here?"

"I don't want to live here either." Lin Chi said coldly.

Lin Xizhou rubbed his face helplessly, well, back to the starting point again.

"Why don't you want her?" Lin Chi asked suddenly, staring at Lin Jiyao, "Since you have had a relationship with her, why don't you want her?!"

"Does this need a reason?" Lin Jiyao smiled, with a bit of casual indifference, "How many women want to sleep with me and do everything possible to leave wild seeds to divide the family property, your mother is just one of them That's all, do you need a reason to leave her?"

"Besides," Lin Jiyao interrupted Lin Chi who wanted to refute, "If she rejects the 200 million check, maybe I will consider letting her into the Lin family. But since she took it, why do you object?" Come and accuse me?"

Lin Chi dropped his cup and left angrily. Lin Xizhou kneaded the rice ball silently. The uncut Lin Chi was simply the original version of Lin Jiyao.I don't know how to restrain myself and don't know how to pretend. When two people meet together, it is as tragic as sparks hitting the earth.

"Dad, he looks a lot like you." Lin Xizhou said with a smile.

"Like me?" Lin Jiyao looked at him with a look of 'you're joking', "I don't think I'm like him."

Lin Xizhou said: "You must have been like this when you were young." From now on, it can be seen that if Lin Jiyao had the recklessness and impulsiveness that a teenager should have, he would behave like Lin Chi.

Lin Jiyao was noncommittal, but said, "Xiao Xi, don't worry about him."

"Dad, grandpa is right." Lin Xizhou said, "He has the blood of the Lin family, so he should recognize his ancestors." Distracting Lin Jiyao's attention is also a good choice.

"Xiao Xi." Lin Jiyao frowned, as if wishing he could not understand what he did, "You don't understand why father insisted on letting him live here."

"I understand," Lin Xizhou said. The older generation always attaches great importance to blood inheritance. The current Lin family name is Lin, but if it falls into his hands, I don't know what the family name will be in the future.

He looked up at Lin Jiyao and said with a smile, "Dad, I don't care about that."

He doesn't care about company shares, family property, real estate, inheritance rights.The money doesn't need to be much, just enough is enough. After he graduates and works, Lin Xizhou doesn't think he still needs to rely on the Lin family's assets to survive.

Of course, this is also the reason why he is almost desperate for the college entrance examination now - he wants to leave the Lin family and Lin Jiyao.

"Xiaoxi..." Lin Jiyao sighed, "You don't care about these things? Then what do you care about, what do you want?" He wanted to give Lin Xizhou what he thought was the best, but the other party dismissed it Gu, what could be worse than this?

And Lin Xizhou also smiled helplessly, "Dad, you know what I want."

The father and son fell into silence. After a while, Lin Xizhou's cell phone on the table vibrated, and it was Cheng Hao's call.

He glanced at Lin Jiyao who was deep in thought, picked up the phone and sat on the single swing outside the balcony.

"what's up?"

Cheng Hao asked: "Xiaomi, I heard you have an extra brother?"

"Correct."

Cheng Hao suddenly became vigilant, "Did he bully you?"

Lin Xizhou laughed all of a sudden, Fantuan ran behind the swing, pushing the swing chair made of bamboo strips with great effort with two front paws, Lin Xizhou tapped the floor with his toes, and swayed leisurely.

"How is it possible." Lin Xizhou said, "I said, your focus is wrong, shouldn't you be asking if I will bully him?"

Lin Xizhou beckoned Fantuan to jump onto the chair, and said, "Think about it, what a familiar setting. A wealthy family, a noble young master, an outsider who is inferior and sensitive but proud, and a partial father—if this When the girls in the class know about it, they must write a million-word novel about the president."

"But..." Cheng Hao, who was listening happily at first, suddenly changed the subject and asked with a frown, "For people like us, the ending shouldn't be that the young master discovers that the boy is true love and loves him to death Do you want to live to finally break through the bondage of the family?!"

Lin Xizhou: "..."

I really didn't know that Cheng Hao also dabbled in this type of novel.

The more Cheng Hao talked, the more panicked he became, he took his coat and was about to run out, "No, no, wait, I'll go find you right away."

Lin Xizhou raised his forehead, "It's just a routine of a novel—Hello? Hey! No way, your parents must be at home during the New Year's Eve, and my dad is too. Aren't you looking for death when you come here at this time?!"

Only then did Cheng Hao stop in his tracks, but he still warned him nervously, "Xiaomi, you mustn't see eye to eye with him!"

"...Are you out of your mind? I have nothing to do with him."

Cheng Hao rolled his eyes and smiled, "That's right, with someone as good as me, why would you fall in love with him. Xiaomi, I asked a friend to find out about Lin Chi's biological mother, listen?"

Lin Xizhou smiled, Cheng Hao would only be more reliable at such critical times.

"Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly."

……

In this way, Lin Xizhou held the phone and chatted with Cheng Hao for more than half an hour. Except for the rare serious conversation, there were some random gags. This was the first time he talked on the phone, and even Lin Xizhou himself admired it after hanging up the phone own up.

But... maybe this is what a lover should look like?

Lin Xizhou smiled, put his phone aside, and went downstairs to get snacks for the rice balls.

When he came across Lin Chi at the top of the stairs, Lin Xizhou couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he thought of the idea just now, so he didn't say anything, but Lin Chi took the initiative to talk to him, which was a bit unexpected.

...Although the words are not very friendly.

Lin Chi squinted at him and said, "You are not Lin Jiyao's biological son."

"Yes."

"He treats you very well." Lin Chi squinted and smiled, Lin Xizhou felt that he should redefine his judgment on Lin Chi, this person was far from being as ignorant of the world as he appeared on the surface.

Lin Xizhou shrugged, "Just say what you want."

"I'm just curious." Lin Chi said, the smile on his face was exactly the same as that of his biological father, "It's really strange...a person like him would have such a thing as a father's love."

Fatherly love?

Lin Xizhou laughed, avoiding talking about it, leaning on the handrail of the stairs and looking at him, "I'm also curious, brother, what is your purpose for coming back?"

Hearing Lin Xizhou's address to him, Lin Chi raised his eyebrows, as if a little surprised, and then smiled easily.

"You'll know," he said, winking at Lin Xizhou, "brother."

Lin Xizhou looked at Lin Chi's back as he turned and went downstairs, and the interest in his eyes grew stronger.

Could it be that Lin Chi's youthfulness when facing Lin Jiyao was all fake?Lin Xizhou couldn't help becoming a little interested, wondering if Lin Jiyao, who was scheming and calculating, would be concealed by him.

According to his guess, Lin Chi's purpose is nothing more than family property, or more abstractly speaking, the things that should belong to him.

This is normal isn't it?Their mothers had a similar fate, but because of Lin Jiyao's decision, Lin Xizhou's mother was able to live a good life and was called Mrs. Lin, while Lin Chi's biological mother had to bear the burden of being pregnant out of wedlock. Mingtou lives alone.

A woman, a single woman with a huge sum of 200 million, is enough to attract the attention of some idle men.According to the information Cheng Hao found out, Lin Chi's biological mother was used to living a wealthy life with sugar daddies, and the 200 million was quickly squandered. Later, she found a man who was fond of gambling and owed a lot of debt.

On the phone, Cheng Hao told him all the details.

"Mr. Lin helped to repay the money. As for why Lin Chi went to the Lin family, ha, I don't believe it's really because of that woman's shitty last wish."

"Lin Chi's stepfather treated him badly, and later ran away because he owed money, but debt collectors often came to make trouble. The mother and son had a hard life, until his mother died of illness, Lin Chi probably had nowhere to go, and then Only then did I find Mr. Lin, and I did a paternity test to identify my ancestors."

"Xiaomi, Lin Chi has seen the warmth and coldness of the world since he was a child. He is far from being as simple as he appears on the surface. You have to be careful."

Lin Xizhou thought back to what Cheng Hao had said, while secretly thinking, maybe he should wait and see what happens at this time, maybe...he can use Lin Chi to get rid of the Lin family and Lin Jiyao.

"Tsk..."

Lin Xizhou shook his head, and let him, a rough man, think about the rhythm of all the brain cells being killed in battle, so he simply wrote it as a novel background and asked the girls in the group how to continue writing the plot of the house fight.

But... I hope the girls won't make up for him a [-]-word sadomasochistic plot.
