Chapter 63 - 63: List
Chu Qing wiped the sweat off his forehead. His father was the same as his mother in his previous life. He revealed the coquettishness of a woman.
Chu Qing endured the cold and evil feeling in his heart and sat down to eat.
“By the way, Chu Qing, why do you smell like smoke?”
As they sat down to eat, Chu Qing’s father cast a sudden glance at him. Chu Qing could sense a hidden sense of hostility in his father’s gaze. If Chu Qing couldn’t provide a satisfactory explanation, he knew that a storm of violence might be waiting for him.
“Hehe, 1 want to report! Mom secretly smoked.”
Chu Qing chuckled, betraying his mother.
As expected, Chu Qing’s mother pretended to shoot him a fierce glare and scolded him, calling him a troublemaker.
However, the two of them clearly had a look in their eyes that only they knew about. They had finally gotten away with it.
His father quickly changed the subject, directing his attention towards his wife. Chu Qing silently breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that he had managed to avoid his father’s anger. He knew that if his father found out that he had been at the Internet cafe, he would be furious.
“I’m done eating.”
Chu Qing took a few more bites of his food, but his mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Chen Huahua, who was still hungry. He didn’t have much appetite and quickly finished a few more mouthfuls before excusing himself from the table.
“Why don’t you eat more? By the way, Chu Qing, some uncles asked you where you bought that jade pendant.”
Chu Qing pretended not to hear him and turned to walk into the room. Then, he quickly closed the door. His actions were smooth.
“This child…”
His father shook his head, then glared at his mother.
“It’s all because of you.”
“When did 1 spoil him…”
Chu Qing’s mother’s face was filled with helplessness. She didn’t have much time at home every day. She didn’t even know how Chu Qing’s studies were.
“I haven’t settled the score with you for smoking!”
His father continued his relentless banter. He had already entered an invincible state, causing his mother to scream in surrender.
“By the way.”
His mother suddenly frowned and mentioned something.
“About my Second Sis…”
“Why are you talking about her?” His father didn’t look pleased.
His mother chuckled and said, “Don’t be anxious. Let me finish.”
“She went to a nightclub and got her leg broken. I heard she pulled a dine-and-dash…”
“This is called retribution…”
The two of them whispered to each other, unaware that Chu Qing was listening in from his hiding spot in the room. He felt relieved that they didn’t suspect him in connection to the situation. They knew their child well enough to trust that he wouldn’t be involved.
In their eyes, Chu Qing was a timid little boy who didn’t even dare to kill chickens. He was usually good at studying and didn’t have many friends. How could he be related to those people in nightclubs?
However, Chu Qing was a little worried. If the two of them really found out that his power in Jinmen City was not to be underestimated, what would they think?
Chu Qing sighed and realized that he could only postpone dealing with the situation for the time being.
After locking the door and pretending to be asleep, Chu Qing transformed into a superhero in the night again and jumped out of the window.
He bought barbecue skewers and rushed to Chen Huahua’s house. When he arrived at her house, Chen Huahua was asleep on the sofa again.
What time did this girl sleep last night? Or rather, what time did she sleep this morning…
Chu Qing was at a loss for words. Perhaps it was due to the strenuous physical activity they had engaged in earlier, causing Chen Huahua to fall asleep from exhaustion.
He carefully carried Chen Huahua onto her bed and covered her with a blanket. Only then did Chu Qing tiptoe away and leave a note for her.
Remember to eat when you wake up.
Chu Qing gently stroked Chen Huahua’s hair, his affection for her evident. Among all the people he knew, she resembled the delicate girls from his past life the most. She was introverted, sensitive, and appeared carefree, yet deep down, she was more fragile than anyone else.
At this moment, Chen Huahua was curled up like a lobster with her body arched. This was her favorite sleeping position.
Chu Qing suddenly realized that the computer seemed to be on. There was also a post-it note around the computer screen, written: For Chu Qing.
Chu Qing leaned over to take a look. There was a name list on it.
The more he read, the more confused he became. What kind of list was this?
At the back of the list, there was a brief introduction, which was basic information about those people.
Chu Qing took a look. He didn’t know most of the people, but there were still some names he was familiar with.
For example, Ye Qingmei and Zhai Yu.
Zhai Yu is 23 years old and rebellious. As an illegitimate child, he doesn’t receive recognition from the family, but his exceptional talents have made him reluctantly accepted. He works as an overseer at the World Treasures Auction House in Jinmen. Despite being an outsider, he excels at his role. Zhai Yu has a personality that resembles that of a girl, and he has a fondness for sports cars.
Chu Qing smiled. So Zhai Yu had such a secret that no one knew about—he was an illegitimate child.
However, what the hell was with that girl-like personality? Could sports cars only be enjoyed by boys?
