hypocritically

Chapter 36

The pink plastic bag with the gift was crumpled by Guo Xiao. He seemed to be carrying his own embarrassment. He didn't know if it was a broken relationship, but he felt very uncomfortable anyway.

Looking at the white rain and fog, he didn't want to go home, but he didn't know where to go. He took out his mobile phone in a daze, subconsciously clicked on Xu Keqin's text message, edited one and sent it to Xu Keqin.

"Xu Keqin, can I come to you?"

The hands in his pocket vibrated, and Xu Keqin took out his cell phone to look. It was a text message from Guo Xiao. In just a few words, he could already see Guo Xiao's loss.

He clicked on the input interface and replied with "wait". Dad tilted his head to look at the phone screen and joked, "What? Did a little girl send you a message?"

Xu Keqin conveniently put the phone on the dining table, "Dad, stop laughing at me."

"It shouldn't be, my son is so handsome, he should be very popular with little girls, shouldn't no one chase him?"

Xu Keqin smiled, but didn't answer.

The little girl's topic didn't go too deep, and the father naturally changed the topic, "Are you still used to living in Jingshan?"

"Ah."

Xu Zhenli nodded, "Has your mother been looking for you recently?"

Xu Keqin was taken aback for a moment, and his heart sank. His mother wouldn't find his father, would she?

"No…"

In terms of money, Xu Zhenli is very generous. The alimony was paid in one lump sum at the beginning, but Xu Keqin's mother spent a lot of money and raised a lot of men. The high alimony has long been ruined by her.

After Xu Zhenli found out about this, he bypassed Ji Huixiu and directly handed over the living expenses to Xu Keqin. He would not tell Xu Keqin publicly that the money could not be given to his mother, but just beat it secretly.

"Your mother is already an adult. She should have her own life and work. She will even have a new family in the future. With this money, you should think about yourself. Dad will always help you one day."

Xu Zhenli's attitude towards living expenses was both subtle and straightforward. Xu Keqin was a smart man. He knew that his father didn't want his money to continue to be spent on his mother and on men who couldn't afford it.

Xu Keqin understood since he was a child that his father's words carry weight, without his father, at least now, he is nothing, so he never refuted his father's words.

"It's like this, Keqin, Dad discussed it with your aunt, and I still think it's better to take you back."

The originally heavy heart sank suddenly after hearing what Dad said. Xu Keqin lowered his eyes and stared at the bowl, his hands and feet became stiff.

Dad never mentioned that he was going to be taken back to his side. Previously, he thought that the high monthly living expenses were the best of benevolence.

After a short pause, Xu Keqin pretended to be natural and continued to eat, "Why... you brought this up all of a sudden?"

Xu Zhenli was afraid that Xu Keqin would think too much, so he stroked Xu Keqin's back with his big hands, "You are also my father's son, how could it be considered sudden to pick you up? You lived with your mother before anyway, so it is considered a There is a caretaker, and now you are alone, Dad is still worried."

This reason sounds reasonable, is it true?Xu Keqin really wanted to look up at his father's face and ask him to repeat what he just said, but he didn't have the courage.

"Won't the people over there be unhappy?"

"Dad has discussed it with your aunt. Dad hopes that you can learn to get along with your two brothers."

This kind of "discussion" is probably not as easy as Dad said. This happened so suddenly that Xu Keqin couldn't tell what it felt like.

"Everyone lives together and has a caregiver. The company at home will still belong to your three brothers in the future. You have to face your brothers."

Xu Keqin didn't meet the people there, but when he met his father, would he talk about the two brothers?

Bloodlines are very mysterious, and they seem to be vaguely connected in the distance.

Xu Keqin didn't fully believe his father's words. He had never coveted the Xu family's things, because he had never really stepped into the Xu family.

But his father gave him hope again, and Xu Keqin looked carefully at his father with a little scrutiny in his eyes.

"How is it? Is it too difficult for you to answer Dad now?"

Xu Keqin shook his head, "Did Dad want me to go back?"

"Of course." Xu Zhenli was very sincere, and it was hard to see any perfunctory from his face.

Xu Keqin knew that his father had always felt ashamed of himself, maybe it was because he was getting older, his thinking became more conservative, and he was eager to protect his son?

"I follow my father's arrangement."

Xu Zhen immediately showed a smile. This is what he likes most about Xu Keqin. Xu Keqin is sensible and obedient, and will obey his own arrangements. He will do his best in every aspect.

"Father will arrange the school for you as soon as possible, and will handle the transfer procedures for you next month at the latest."

Xu Keqin gave a "hmm" and finally agreed.

Seeing Xu Keqin's well-behaved appearance, Xu Zhenli felt relieved from the bottom of his heart, and he said with emotion: "If Xinglan is half as obedient as you, I will be thankful."

Xu Xinglan is Xu Keqin's elder brother, three years older than Xu Keqin. Although Xu Keqin has never met his elder brother, he has heard his father's evaluation of his elder brother, the second ancestor.

When Xu Xinglan was in high school, he had a girlfriend and got the girl pregnant. Xu Zhenli spent a lot of money to settle the girl's parents.

Later, because Xu Xinglan's grades could not be admitted to domestic universities, Xu Zhenli sent him abroad in a fit of anger.

Xu Keqin calculated the time, Xu Xinglan should be graduating from college soon, if his father can say that, Xu Xinglan probably caused trouble abroad again.

"Brother, is he graduating soon?"

Xu Zhenli snorted coldly, "I can't even spend money to get him a college diploma. You are such a good brother. You haven't gone to class. You dropped out of school for more than half a year. I didn't know until I ran out of money. Half a month ago , I asked your aunt to bring him back."

The more Xu Zhenli talked, the more angry he became, and it was rare for him to slap the table in front of Xu Keqin, "If it wasn't for my son, who would care about his life."

Xu Keqin didn't agree with his father's words, picked up the teapot next to him, and added some tea for his father, "Calm down, Dad."

"It's your second brother's job, but he only knows how to learn to draw, so what can he do." Xu Zhenli shook his head frequently, as if he was not very satisfied with his two sons.

After a meal, the rain outside hadn't stopped, and the father and son were waiting at the door for the waiter to drive the car out.

"Father, it's raining heavily, do you have to hurry back?"

According to Xu Zhenli's habit, he would rush home when things were done, and he almost never stayed with him overnight.

Xu Zhenli glanced at the sky outside, dark clouds were overwhelming the city, then he turned his head and joked at Xu Keqin, "Why don't you take Dad in for a night?"

Just received another message from Guo Xiao, before Xu Keqin could read it, he put his hand in his pocket, and slowly let go, "Father and I are still so polite."

Guo Xiao stood from afternoon to evening, and the pouring rain turned into light rain. Seeing that he hadn't left, the girl from the boutique came out to talk to him.

"Are you okay? I see that you have been standing here for a long time. Do you have no umbrella? The cheapest umbrella in our store is only ten yuan."

Guo Xiao glanced at the ten-yuan transparent umbrella, opened his mouth and then closed it. He didn't know what he was doing, but Xu Keqin asked him to wait, so he waited obediently.

Wait until Xu Keqin returns his message, wait until Xu Keqin comes to pick him up, wait until Xu Keqin has a good analysis of what he did wrong today.

"I... wait for someone..."

The sales girl looked surprised, "Have you waited all afternoon?"

She looked at the thing in Guo Xiao's hand again, it was the wrapping paper in their store, "Did you come with a girl just now? She left? Are you waiting for her?"

Guo Xiao was dejected, too lazy to explain, and shook his head dully.

"Then who are you waiting for? Why don't you call to remind me, you can't do anything if you stay here." They still have to do business.

Guo Xiao wanted to find a quiet place, but the sales girl acted as if she would not leave by herself, she would not let it go, so he had to buy the cheapest umbrella and walked a little farther.

The wind with the rain was blowing cold to his body, and the time on the phone was already getting late. Guo Xiao couldn't imagine what Xu Keqin was doing, and Xu Keqin's "wait for it" was silent, and he didn't dare to call to disturb him.

Xu Keqin must be very busy.

Then do you want to leave?Should I go home?What if Xu Keqin replied to himself after he was busy?

Guo Xiao tentatively sent another message to Xu Keqin, "Xu Keqin, are you done?"

He walked from the entrance of the boutique to the big supermarket, but he still didn't get a reply from Xu Keqin. Guo Xiao thought that Xu Keqin would always see his news after he was busy.

"Xu Keqin, Wang Yueshan has gone home."

"When she said she liked me, she was impulsive. What does that mean?"

"Is it because she doesn't like me?"

"Did I do something wrong today to make her angry?"

"I haven't thanked her properly for helping me with my homework."

It was already seven o'clock in the evening when we got home, Xu Keqin took a shower, and talked with his father for a while, he was quite tired today, Xu Keqin also returned to the room early.

The charging phone on the bedside popped up a notification that it was fully charged. Xu Keqin stepped forward and unplugged the charger. Looking at the number on the text message icon, he hesitated for a moment.

The rain outside the window didn't know when it stopped. Crystal drops of water hung on the glass, and then a long water mark was drawn.

After I replied to Guo Xiao's first message, I never looked at my phone again.

Guo Xiao sent a message to himself at that time, and he wanted to come to his home because Wang Yueshan was not by his side. Why Wang Yueshan was not by his side, the answer is obvious.

Xu Keqin was thinking, no matter how stupid a person is, he should run home when it rains.

He clicked on Guo Xiao's news, and saw the last one at a glance.

"Can I go home?"
