But later, he saw Qiqi practicing dance in the dance studio more than once, while Qi Nan was holding a picture album and painting quietly on the floor of the dance studio.

Qi Zeyu even wondered whether Qi Nan had been bullied abroad, which made him stop painting. Qi Nan has had a meek personality since he was a child. To put it bluntly, he has no independent opinions and is easily bullied.

Qi Zeyu went to find out that no one bullied him. What he investigated was an oil painting competition abroad.

Qi Zeyu had watched the videos of the competition. Qi Nan was relaxed and comfortable in every competition. He didn’t care whether he won the prize or not, he just enjoyed the process of painting.

It gives people a feeling of… Being very satisfied with holding a paintbrush.

As a result, in the finals, Qi Nan suddenly announced that he would retreat from the competition.

Qi Zeyu did not express his opinion on Qi Nan’s retreat, but it was a bit outrageous to give up painting and enter the entertainment industry. He felt that Qi Nan’s character was not suitable for the entertainment industry.

Feng Mo tried to make some suggestions, “Have you ever asked him why he returned to China?”

“No.”

“He was not doing well at his biological mother’s house. His biological mother and stepfather also had a daughter.”

Feng Mo chuckled, “He returned to China after having a hard time with his biological mother? Is he using your Qi family as a safe haven?”

Qi Zeyu frowned, not satisfied with this metaphor.

“Ask your omnipotent little assistant to help me contact Qi Nan’s biological mother, so that I can meet with her before I return to China.”

“I don’t understand. Anyway, your Qi family regards Qi Nan as their biological child. If he doesn’t want to paint, he can just stop painting. Why are you so concerned about it?”

“My all-powerful little assistant is here to check on the post.” Feng Mo chuckled and waved. “You can ask yourself if he can be contacted. I won’t force him to help you.”

When Qi Zeyu walked out of the coffee shop, Feng Mo was still hugging his little assistant. He looked away indifferently, not quite understanding such lovers hugging each other in public.

Especially same-sex couples.

Qi Zeyu is a little bit homophobic, but he doesn’t discriminate against homosexuals, as long as he wasn’t the object of their affection.

As soon as he looked away, he saw two people across the street, very close to each other, and they seemed to be a same-sex couple. And it was such a coincidence, he knew both of these two people.

One was the professional scam artist^[1]In case you forgot, brother Qi met Qingqing before, and he thought Qingqing was a scam artist because the way Qingqing acts when they bumped into each other. whom he met last week. Qi Zeyu didn’t want to admit that he could recognize him at a glance because he was good-looking.

And the other one is Jiang Siyu, the eldest young master of the Jiang family.

He doesn’t know what the two of them were talking about.

Qi Zeyu was a little irritated. They were all tough men. What was the point of being together?

But his eyes still fell on the two of them involuntarily.

Jiang Siyu held a disposable lunch box in his hand and fed the octopus balls to the professional scam artist’s mouth.

Qi Zeyu: “!” His blood pressure soared again.

Does that scammer have no hands?

Can’t he eat it by himself?

Does it taste better when it is fed?

Qi Zeyu forced himself to look away. Usually, his homophobia was not that serious, as long as it was not directed at him. But he doesn’t know what happened today.

The more he watched, the angrier he became.

It happened that the two of them crossed the road and walked towards the coffee shop. Qi Zeyu snorted and turned away. He did not want to say hello to Jiang Siyu at this time.

Qi Zeyu walked along the trail for a while and realized something was not right.

Sh!t.

He couldn’t seem to find his way back to the hotel.

With a cold face, Qi Zeyu silently returned to the door of the coffee shop and took out his mobile phone.

“Come and get me.”

His tone was so cold that he was particularly unhappy now.

“At the cafe.”

Qi Zeyu hung up the phone and raised his eyes to meet the scam artist’s eyes.

Qi Zeyu: “…”

Their gaze met.

Lu Zeqing looked away silently. Mr. Qi’s eyes were like knives. It was probably because he had exposed his idiotic nature^[2]Brother Qi has a poor sense of direction. again, so he lost his face.

Lu Zeqing blinked and quickly slipped into the coffee shop.

Getting lost was none of his business.

“Why are you here?” Jiang Siyu came in to buy a cold drink, “There is no Coke here, I will order a glass of milk for you.”

“All right.”

Lu Zeqing was a little regretful. In fact, he could also go to the convenience store to buy bottled Coke.

Qi Zeyu waited at the door for a while, his eyes drifting into the coffee shop. He couldn’t see clearly through the glass door, until the assistant appeared in front of him.

“Why so slow.”

Assistant: “…” He is already very fast, but he is used to Qi Zeyu’s bad temper every time he can’t find his way.

“I’m sorry.”

When he gave in, Qi Zeyu lost his temper and kept a straight face and stopped talking.

Before leaving, Qi Zeyu glanced at the coffee shop again, but the two people hadn’t come out yet. The assistant also glanced curiously, and instantly found two eye-catching figures in the crowd.

“That is the eldest young master of the Jiang family. Why don’t Mr. Qi go and say hello?”

“No, he’s with a… Boy.” Qi Zeyu swallowed the “professional scam artist” he almost said.

“It’s a recent popular male star.” The assistant recognized Lu Zeqing at a glance. Mr. Qi didn’t care about the entertainment industry, so he didn’t know his name.

“They should be partnering to hype their CP recently.”

“What is hyping CP?”

Assistant:”…”

Never thought their boss could be so boring.

“It’s just… Pretend to be in a relationship in front of the audience.”

Qi Zeyu frowned.

“Today’s lovers are no longer satisfied with just falling in love in private?”

Want to do it in front of an audience?

Assistant: “…”

The other side.

The Qi family’s parents hadn’t told anyone about the incident yet, so they rushed to City B in a hurry. Although they were sure that Lu Zeqing was their child, they still wanted to know more about the whole case.

The police also said that if both parties are willing to recognize their parents, it is best to conduct a paternity test.

“Can I trouble you to contact him?”

“Certainly.”

Lu Nianchu expressed his concerns, “My child has not had a good life these years. I’m worried that he won’t be able to accept it for a while.”

“First ask him if he is willing to recognize his family.”

The police found Lu Zeqing’s contact information and called him directly.

“Is this Lu Zeqing?”

Lu Nianchu held Qi Huai’s hand nervously, and her nails dug into the back of Qi Huai’s hand unconsciously. Qi Huai didn’t say anything and patted her back with his other hand.

“What did he say?”

As soon as the policeman hung up the phone, Lu Nianchu asked him immediately.

“He said that he is an adult and wants to live alone.” After the policeman finished speaking, he comforted her with a few words, “The child is an adult, and…”

“It’s okay, I know.” Lu Nianchu’s expression was calm, but her red eyes betrayed her. She calmed down a little and asked,

“Can I meet Wu Yue and Xu Donghui?”

Several police officers looked at each other.

“I am the victim’s family and also a victim.”

“Okay.”

The policeman still couldn’t bear it and took Lu Nianchu and Qi Huai to the reception room, “You guys wait here.”

“Thank you.”

After waiting for a while, Xu Donghui and Wu Yue were taken out with handcuffs on their hands. They have not yet been sentenced in court and are currently detained in the detention center.

“My name is Lu Nianchu, and I am Lu Zeqing’s biological mother.” Lu Nianchu got straight to the point.

Xu Donghui and Wu Yue’s eyes widened, and they were a little scared for a moment, because the man next to Lu Nianchu looked a bit scary, with sharp eyebrows and a cold face.

Lu Nianchu approached step by step. She had watched Xu Yinyin’s reporting video, which lasted for more than a minute and only contained a few sentences.

But for Lu Nianchu, every word was like a knife stuck in her heart.

Qiqi used to be so squeamish, and even if the skin on his finger was a little broken, he would have to be coaxed for a long time. Lu Nianchu couldn’t imagine what his Qiqi would be forced to do by these two demons.

Laundry, cooking, cleaning, or something more?

Lu Nianchu didn’t need to do these things at Qi’s house, the auntie took care of them all. But his child, at such a young age, had to do housework to get food, and sometimes they didn’t even get food.

She didn’t understand why these two people could be so vicious to children.

Wu Yue and Xu Donghui were a little scared, not because they were afraid of the weak Lu Nianchu, but because they were afraid that Qi Huai next to her would suddenly hit someone.

The two of them shrank down and stood farther away from Qi Huai.

“Chuchu.” Qi Feng was a little worried. He wanted to pull Lu Nianchu, but Lu Nianchu took a few steps forward.

Qi Huai was worried, but before he reached Lu Nianchu’s side, a crisp slap sounded.

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Lu Nianchu grabbed Wu Yue’s hair with her right hand and pulled her back hard.

“Ah!” Wu Yue yelled in embarrassment.

“Ma’am, please calm down.” The policeman was stunned for a while before he came to his senses. Lu Nianchu looked so weak, but he didn’t expect that the attack would be quite severe.

“How can I calm down?”

“My child has been missing for more than ten years because of them.”

“My child was abused because of them.”

“My child was not only bullied in the Xu family, but he also didn’t have enough to eat. He worked so hard to earn tuition and get into college, in order to get rid of these two people. But in the end, he had to have his aspirations tampered by them.”

“How do you want me to calm down?” Lu Nianchu’s tears fell uncontrollably. Her voice was a little hoarse. She cried many times last night.

“I calmed down. What does it matter if my son is wronged?”

Xu Donghui took another step back, for fear of being affected. This small movement caused Lu Nianchu’s attention to shift to him.

“My son said he didn’t want to go home, he wanted to live alone.”

“I finally found him, but I can’t recognize him.” Lu Nianchu clenched her fist tightly, but finally couldn’t hold it back, picked up the cup on the table and threw it at Xu Donghui hard.

“Because of you, he feels that he is not loved by his parents. He doesn’t want to go home. He is afraid. He is afraid of me, but I…”

“I obviously love him so much.”

Lu Nianchu sniffled, and the soreness in her throat made it difficult for her to even speak. She slapped Xu Donghui hard again.

“Did you hit him?”

“She’s crazy… She…” Xu Donghui asked the police for help, “I don’t want to see them, I want to go back to the detention center, I have a headache, I…”

Lu Nianchu stared at him intently.

“You abused him.”

“I just slapped you. What is this slap compared to the torture my child suffered in your house?”

“You should be grateful that you are in the detention center now.”

Lu Nianchu stared at the two of them intently, “Otherwise, I will kill you.”

Wu Yue’s body trembled.

The police came to stop Lu Nianchu, and Qi Huai held her back.

“Chuchu, why don’t you go out and wait for me first?”

A policewoman stepped forward, helped Lu Nianchu out, and comforted her in a low voice.

Lu Nianchu held the hot water handed over by the policewoman. When she hit the person, she hit him hard, and there was a burning and tingling sensation in her palms, but she had no time to care.

She sat in the corridor for a while, and after another ten minutes, she saw Qi Huai come out of the room.

There were two people following behind. Their entire faces were swollen, their cheekbones were bruised, and they looked even more embarrassed than when they first came in.

“Chuchu, let’s go.”

Qi Huai held Lu Nianchu’s hand, and Lu Nianchu stood there, staring at the two people’s leaving figures, “Chuchu, listen to me.”

“When the child grows up, he will have his own concerns, and we should understand him. Moreover, we finally found him, which is something to be happy about.”

“I promise, I will definitely take him home. He is our child, and I love him no less than you do.” Qi Huai touched Lu Nianchu’s head comfortingly.

Lu Nianchu finally couldn’t help it, she laid in Qi Huai’s arms and cried.

“Stop crying, do you want to see him?” Qi Huai asked.

Lu Nianchu opened her mouth. Qi Huai knew what she wanted to say, he patted her on the shoulder and explained.

“Let’s not disturb him for the time being, and just take a look from a distance. Qiqi has grown up, I have seen his photos, and those eyes are very similar to yours.”

“I also want to meet our child.” Qi Huai’s tone was gentle, “Let’s go together, okay?”

“Don’t let him find out.”

“Just like when we first sent him to kindergarten, hiding behind a tree and taking a sneak peek.”
