My ex-boyfriend is looking forward to my bankruptcy

The atmosphere dropped to freezing point again. Xi's father reached out to stop Qu Tao and looked at his old friend with a frown.

"Brother Mu, you can't spoil your child too much. If this were my son, I would have hit him with my shoe long ago, but this is your son, so you have the final say on how to deal with him. Anyway, today, we must see him."

As expected of an old fox, even his words are technical, and each word has three meanings.

He not only saved face for his old friend but also made his own position clear, while at the same time implying that it is the father's fault if the son is not well educated.

After Xi's father finished speaking, Qu Tao secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Thinking that his son's company was not only thriving, but his marriage didn't even require the elders to worry about him, Mu's father, who was laughed at by his old friend, felt more and more angry.

"Mu Jingyan, I've spoiled you so much since you were little. Will you let me go or not?"

Mu Jingyan snorted coldly at his father: "What? You want to use the soles of your shoes to trick me? To tell you the truth, even if you take out the soles of your shoes, I will not give way today."

"You...you bastard, you think I've lived long enough and want to piss me off to death sooner, right?"

As Mu's father spoke, he took off his old Beijing cloth shoes. Xi Mozhou took advantage of Mu Jingyan's off guard, pushed him aside, and winked at Qu Tao.

"Hurry in."

"Come out, none of you can go in." Mu Jingyan's voice was almost a roar, but his body was firmly trapped by Mu's father and Xi Mozhou.

Father Xi took a look at the postures of the three people, and seeing that Mu Jingyan couldn't break free, he followed Qu Tao in.

"He is Brother He's grandson, right?"

"No."

Qu Tao stared at the gauze on Shi Jun's wrist without turning his head. The old man didn't believe it at all.

"Don't try to fool me, this kid looks exactly like his father when he was young."

"He has no father."

Father Xi was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement, his eyes filled with pity as he thought about the young man's life experience on the bed.

"Why is this kid so depressed? If his mother saw this, she would be so heartbroken!"

"He'll be fine."

The dispute outside was still going on. Xi's father sighed, patted Qu Tao's shoulder and gestured to the door.

"Okay, I'm relieved now that I've seen him. He's still unconscious and can't speak. Let's go out first and come back to see him tomorrow."

On the way back, Qu Tao felt indignant thinking about how Mu Jingyan looked after Shi Jun as if he were his private property.

"Mu Jingyan must be mentally ill. Shi Jun didn't sell herself to him, so why is he blocking us from entering?"

"He didn't even think about how he treated that kid before. That time at Wufeng Mountain, that kid almost died at his hands. Now he's acting like a good guy."

Qu Tao was getting angrier and angrier as he spoke, and Xi Mozhou couldn't help but interject, "As long as he doesn't set his sights on you anymore, that'll be fine."

"What did you say?"

Qu Tao raised his eyebrows and looked at him coldly. Xi Mozhou knew that what he said was selfish and did not dare to repeat it.

"You're probably hallucinating because you're angry. I didn't say anything."

On the entire way back, Xi's father didn't say a word until they entered the hall of the old house, then he called the two of them to stop.

"I want to call Brother He and tell him about this. What do you think?"

"No, I don't agree. They, the He family, don't deserve to see Shi Jun, let alone recognize him."

Qu Tao was the first to object. Xi's father understood what he meant and pointed to the sofa in the hall.

"Taotao, don't be impatient. Listen to what I have to say first, and then make a decision."

After the three of them sat down on the sofa, Xi's father expressed his thoughts.

"I didn't mean for them to recognize each other. In fact, after thinking it over, I think it's better to tell them."

"First, this child is still young and has a long way to go. If Brother He can really give this child some material security, it won't be a bad thing for him."

"Secondly, the child hasn't woken up yet. If he sees with his own eyes the evil his son committed, he'll inevitably feel heartbroken and guilty, and will try to get something back for the child."

"Third, since we've promised them, we'll have to give them an answer sooner or later. I think now is the best time."

After Mr. Xi finished speaking, he stared at the two of them and said, "Think about what I said. Does it make sense?"

There was still opposition in Qu Tao's eyes, but he didn't say anything. Xi Mozhou glanced at him and turned to the old man.

"What if Shi Jun doesn't want to recognize them, and we make the decision for him on our own initiative? What if he wakes up and blames us?"

"That's easy. After we take the things, we can kick them away. After all, the He family was unkind first. Even if he is unjust, he can just return it."

"If the He family intends to embarrass that child, we still have Difeng to contain them."

After Mr. Xi finished speaking, he saw that the two men were silent and patted Qu Tao on the shoulder.

"When living in this world, there are some things that we shouldn't be too emotional about. If this child hates the He family, he can just take the things, make himself stronger, and retaliate."

"Everything happens for a reason. Who can say anything?"

The old ones are still the wisest, and the analysis is very logical. Qu Tao was slightly moved, but still needed time to digest it.

He didn't eat enough in the morning because of Mu's father's arrival. Now it was past lunch time, so Qu Tao stood up from the sofa and walked to the restaurant.

"Let's talk about it later. I'm hungry and I want to eat."

After lunch, it was afternoon. The days were short in winter, and the strong wind outside had not stopped all day, so Qu Tao and Xi Mozhou changed the time to go to the cemetery to next week.

After playing a few games of chess with the old man, when it was getting dark, Qu Tao got up and prepared to return to Qinhai.

The old man was still thinking about what he had mentioned at noon. He reached out and grabbed him, "Have you thought about that lunch thing? Tell me what you think. I'll call Brother He later."

"If you've made up your mind, you can tell him, but..." Qu Tao changed the subject, with a wicked smile, "Call him later, preferably before you go to bed."

"You clever bastard, you're deliberately trying to keep people from coming and make them sleep poorly, right?"

Thinking of Shi Jun giving himself to Mu Jingyan for his mother's medical expenses, Qu Tao admitted it openly.

"Yes, that's what I mean. I haven't paid any child support in the past 18 years, and now you want to take me back so easily. I can't stand it."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll call you before I go to bed."

The next day, Qu Tao got up early on purpose, wanting to go to the hospital before Mu Jingyan went there.

What he didn't expect was that Mu Jingyan didn't go home at all last night.

"How much time has passed? He still hasn't woken up?"

"A bunch of useless people, are you all here to eat for free?"

Before he and Xi Mozhou reached the door of the ward, they heard scolding from inside.

Mu Jingyan had originally refused to let them see Shi Jun, and now he was angry. Qu Tao gestured to Xi Mozhou towards the bench in the corridor.

"We'll go in later. Let's sit over there for a while."

"No need. If you want to see Shi Jun, just go in and I'll suppress him."

"That's not necessary. I believe it will be a dog-eat-dog situation soon."

"?" Xi Mozhou didn't understand what he meant for a moment. Qu Tao winked at him cunningly, "You forgot, the old man called the He family last night."

Qu Tao looked at the time and saw it was just past seven o'clock. "Don't worry, we won't have to wait long. Let's go sit over there for a while."
