Chapter 3: The Truth of Withering and Shattering
"How can it be, Dad, don't worry, I can't joke about such a big event as marriage. ”
On the one hand, it was her own marriage, and on the other hand, she didn't let her grandfather leave regrets, Shen Zining thought about it for half a month, and finally chose the latter.
"That's good, that's good... Your mom and I are waiting for you at home. ”
Shen Lianwei's tone seemed to be relieved, and he hung up the phone.
Throwing the phone aside, the residual joy on Shen Zining's face was instantly smoothed out, and she lay quietly as before, her eyes blank and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Blue Harbor.
Because of its proximity to the river and the careful construction of one of the best designers in Marina City, it is a high-end residential community with a high name.
At this time, outside the fourth unit, the third house, Duan Qi's towering figure appeared in front of the black security door.
Looking at the door in front of him, which seemed a little unfamiliar, but mixed with an inexplicable sense of intimacy, Duan Qi showed a long-lost smile on his face.
Dingding...
After hesitating for a moment, Duan Qi reached out an index finger and set the doorbell.
"Who?"
After waiting for a moment, the door did not open, but an unfamiliar voice came from inside.
"Got guests at home?"
Duan Qi was sure that the other party was looking at him in the cat's eyes at this time, but he didn't recognize himself.
The door slowly opened, and a slightly chubby middle-aged woman walked out with a flat face.
"You are?"
"Hello, I'm here to find the Duan Composer. ”
Duan Spectrum is naturally the name of Duan Qi's father.
"I don't know you. ”
With that, the woman in the middle took a step back and tried to close the door.
Duan Qi glanced at the house number again, the corners of his eyes were slightly disdainful, and he stopped and said.
"Wait, who is the former owner of this house?"
"Anyway, it's not what you said. ”
The woman in the middle was untidy, and casually put on a coat to cover her body, as if she had something important to do, and hurriedly closed the door after speaking.
Duan Qi stood in place, and a sense of unease arose in his heart.
Duan Qi remembered that when he was in the sixth grade, his family did not have enough funds to sell this foundation, and the company he created later had a look and bought it back.
For my parents, this house is of great significance, and when I bought it, I said that I would keep this house in the future.
Now it seems that the house was not only sold, but also changed to more than one owner.
"Dad, I said when I first left, if something happens at home, you must tell me?!"
Duan Qi muttered to himself, and at the same time quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed his father's number.
“... I take the medicine myself... You go write first... It's Xiaoqi, what's wrong?"
There was a faint faint voice on the other end of the phone, and after a second, the voice died down and a deep man's voice came.
"Hey Dad, I'm back to the beach, where are you? I'll look for you. ”
Duan Qi didn't ask directly about the current situation, the ominous premonition in his heart was getting closer and closer, and this kind of thing could only be understood in person.
Twenty minutes later, under an old low-rent house, a green taxi pulled up on a rocky road.
A cheetah-like figure rushed out of the car, holding an old peeling guardrail in one hand, and went straight to the upper floor of the low-rent house.
In a house of less than fifty square meters on the third floor, the half-hidden door was pushed open, and Duan Qi's figure was stunned in place.
I saw in front of me, a middlewoman with most white hair, dark eyes and deep sunken, and a haggard face lying lifeless on the wooden bed, Duan Qi almost didn't recognize it, this was his mother Duan Caiqiao!
On the other side, his father's dark eyes filled the corners of his eyes, sitting in front of an old-fashioned fist-thick computer, holding the keyboard in one hand, and looking at Duan Qi with his eyes.
“... Xiaoqi is back, come and sit here. ”
I haven't seen him for eight years, and my body's reaction to working day and night has declined, and when Duan Spectrum finally saw his son who had been missing for eight years, he didn't know what to say.
"Mom and Dad, my son is not filial! I'm back now, don't worry! I'm here, I'm here..."
Duan Qi rushed over and knelt on the ground with a thud.
Although his fists were tense and his nails pressed ten marks on the flesh, he still couldn't restrain his emotions, and tears oozed from the corners of his eyes.
"Don't do this, Xiaoqi! It's not your fault, just come back. ”
Duan Spectrum immediately stood up, walked forward with trembling legs, and helped Duan Qi up with difficulty.
"It's... Dad, what's wrong with your leg?"
The moment Duan Qi got up, he obviously saw that his father's leg seemed to be lame, and he walked with one foot and the other.
"Also, why did the family become like this?"
Obviously, it was only less than a minute, but Duan Qi felt that he suddenly had a heavy package of several hundred catties on his shoulders, and he felt that he seemed to have become the biggest pillar of the family at this time.
"Alas... Little Flag..."
The appearance of Duan Qi also made Duan Caiqiao, who was lying down, have a trace of energy in his eyes, and he said while crying.
It turned out that in the years after Duan Qi left, the company's business has been thriving, and it is about to exceed 100 million in total assets.
But just three years ago, someone dug a big hole in front of him, completely smashed the entire company into powder, and not only that, but also saddled a huge amount of debt.
More than four years after Duan Qi left, Duan Caiqiao suddenly suffered from liver cancer in the early stage, relying on the strength of the company at that time, there was no problem at all in treatment, but this accident happened, and the lack of funds led to the deterioration of the condition, and the previous treatment also came to naught.
For this reason, the Duan family had to ruthlessly sell their house to fill the gap of foreign debts and treatment of liver cancer, but these were not enough, and liver cancer requires a steady stream of drugs to continue to treat, and the family gradually took on a lot of foreign debts.
In order to save money, I could only move to the cheapest low-rent house around, eat two steamed buns or one meal a day, and because of some culture, Duan Pujia tried to buy a third-hand computer and write online novels to subsidize the family, but unfortunately it was also unable to do it.
"Mom, it's been three years, three whole years, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing!"
Duan Qi touched Duan Cai's skinny hand, and there was an indescribable sadness in his heart.
"In order for your father to study hard in the army, let's not tell you...... Besides, I told you that such a high debt can't help much. ”
Although the two of them opposed Duan Qi's enlistment from the beginning, after this incident really happened, they actually regarded Duan Qi as pride.
"How much do you owe?"
Duan Qi prayed in a deep voice, secretly praying in his heart.
"But there are still more than a million that have not been returned. ”
At the mention of this, Duan Caiqiao's eyes dimmed a lot, if the company was still in the past, this amount of money was really nothing, and he could take it out casually.
