Quick Wear: Give the Resentful Man a Home

Chapter 48: The Intimate Childhood Friends 7

Unable to refuse, Xing Yu added another 300,000 yuan in debt.

Although Duan Wu said that this was reimbursed by work clothes, he always felt that since he first agreed to pay off Lan Xingli's debt, the account has been getting thicker day by day.

When you stay with such a rich young man, your consumption will increase several times.

After Duan Xiao finished his business in Country Z, he returned to China to hold a celebration party. As the Duan family's real estate business was getting bigger and bigger, many people came to watch the fun.

The successor to such a huge business empire is a playboy. Even if there are professional managers and a team to manage it, it seems to everyone that it will be difficult to stabilize the decline.

A good father will have a good son, this has always been Duan Xiao's attitude. This time he used the best answer to tell everyone that Duan Wu can rely on him for his whole life.

Duan·Lao·Wu, who had been relying on crutches for a lifetime, finally got rid of the need for crutches. He still couldn't use great strength with his right foot, but he could already use some strength.

He is handsome and walks with a breeze. Perhaps he inherited the blood of boss Duan Xiao, and looks quite intimidating.

"Hi, Dad."

The father and son hadn't seen each other for three months. Duan Xiao was surprised to find that his unreliable son had matured a lot.

Upon hearing that he had been in a car accident, Duan Xiao was so scared that he wanted to rush back immediately on a private plane. Duan Wu endured the severe pain and called him to say that he was fine and that overseas business was more important.

Duan Xiao felt that he owed his son a lot, but he also felt that his son had indeed grown up and become sensible. He was no longer like when he was little and would listen to his comfort over the phone for half an hour even if he got a cut.

"I haven't seen you for a few months and you've grown taller?"

"real or fake?"

Duan Wu leaned close to him and gestured, he was already half a head taller than Duan Xiao.

Watching the intimate interaction between father and son, many people present couldn't help but envy such a family relationship.

Those who came here today are either rich or noble. How many tycoons like Duan Xiao can be found in the world who publicly declared that they would never marry for the sake of their deceased wife's children?

Even Xing Yu was drawn into this emotion, but he didn't expect that Duan Xiao's gaze would shift to him the next second.

Xing Yu, this is the man my son has only known for two months and who spent half a million on his behalf with a wave of his hand.

Duan Xiao had seen countless people, so he felt relieved at first sight. At least Xing Yu didn't look like a man with bad intentions.

"This is Xing Yu, Dad, a brother I just met after you left."

"Hello." Duan Xiao took the initiative to extend his hand. He didn't mind having some capable people around his son. Just by looking at the hands clasped together, he knew that this was a person who had endured hardships and had experience.

My evaluation of Xing Yu improved a bit.

Xing Yu was somewhat surprised that Duan Xiao was such an approachable boss. Thinking about the stories he had heard before, it seemed that this father and son were, one ruthless and the other crazy.

So what exactly did these two father and son rely on to make themselves look like two poisonous snakes making a nest in the eyes of outsiders?

After being taken by Duan Xiao to say hello to a few close business partners, Duan Wu slipped away.

"It's really not easy to do business. I really don't want to do business in the future." Standing on the observation deck on the second floor, Duan Wu lit a cigarette for himself, and it was snatched away the next second.

"At least, smoking increases the risk of lung cancer by 60%."

Duan Wu narrowed his eyes and snatched it back. "You dare to steal my things? You are so bold. Can you tell the difference between the big and small kings?"

Xing Yu knew he was making a fuss, so he cooperated and said, "Didn't Master Duan himself ask me to remind you not to do anything that threatens your life?"

After saying that, he tried to snatch the cigarette from Duan Wu's mouth.

Duan Wu was agile and moved like a snake, and his evil smile hadn't yet appeared. The next second, he slipped and fell straight into the swimming pool from the second floor with his back.

Xing Yu's pupils dilated and he jumped in without saying a word. A few seconds later, he grabbed the man from the water with his strong arms and swam back to the shore quickly.

Swimming is Xing Yu’s best skill.

Everyone was startled by the noise of two giants falling into the water. Duan Wu's handsome and charming appearance turned into a drowned chicken, and was carried directly into the bedroom by Xing Yu.

"Alright, alright, put me down. My feet are fine. It's so embarrassing for me to do this. Damn it." Duan Wu struggled frantically.

"You walk too slowly, go upstairs and change your clothes,"

Xing Yu's voice was trembling slightly. Duan Wu finally realized that something was wrong with him and called out softly.

No one answered. He could feel the muscles in his back trembling slightly and the tense arms holding him tightly on the back.

Fortunately, it was still early autumn and the weather was not too cold. Duan Wu quickly changed his clothes and walked out of the bathroom.

Xing Yu's nervous tone and stiff body seemed to reveal his inner unrest.

Duan Wu sat beside him, watching the man in front of him, who had been calm and composed until now, reveal a vulnerable expression for the first time. He reached out and rubbed his still wet hair.

"What are you doing? I don't blame you."

Xing Yu lowered his head, and after a long while, he said with red eyes and a hoarse voice, "No, you should blame me."

"Why should I blame you? This is not your fault."

He was the one who insisted on playing around in a dangerous place and fell into the water because he lost his balance.

"Besides, I feel like you've fished me out before I even fell into the water."

Of course Duan Wu was exaggerating. In fact, the speed was very fast. Before he could react, he was already held in a strong embrace.

"Hey, it's okay. I was just jumping for fun. I said I wanted to verify the principle of free fall with him... Yes, yes, I don't dare to do it anymore. I know I was wrong, yeah."

Duan Wu was severely scolded by Duan Xiao and hung up the phone obediently.

"You don't look too good, cold?"

Duan Wu didn't know what was wrong with him and asked tentatively.

Xing Yu turned his head, the complex emotions in his eyes made it possible to read his sadness at a glance, and he spoke slowly

"I once lost my brother just like that."

In the consciousness space, the plot line was restored——

"It was also summer, when I was still living in the countryside, and Xiaowen said he wanted to catch crabs. In summer, when the water level rises, there are crabs about the size of eggs hidden in the many small ditches along the canal, and children in the countryside love to catch them."

Listening to Xing Yu's depressed memories, Duan Wu opened a new pack of cigarettes from the bedside and handed it to him.

This time Xing Yu did not refuse, he lit a cigarette, the painful memories continued endlessly

"I was fourteen at the time, and Xiaowen was only six. I don't know what I was thinking, but I left him alone to go catch hares."

"I heard my neighbor calling for help, and I turned around and saw Xiaowen's last shadow being swept into the bottom of the canal by the current."

Xing Yu didn't say anything, he just rushed to the canal and jumped in, the neighbors who came over quickly grabbed him. They said that this was the season for releasing water, and they had to find someone who was good at swimming, otherwise even an adult would die.

He roared and wanted to jump down to save his brother, but was locked tightly in the arms of two adults.

Afterwards, Xing Yu woke up in countless dreams every night. He heard his brother calling for help, and he watched the little figure disappear in front of him in an instant.

The smoke rings dissipated and disappeared into the air.

Duan Wu did not respond. He finally understood why Xing Yu was so good at swimming.

Maybe he was paying for the mistake he made sixteen years ago with his whole life.
