Chapter 156: A Crazy Woman
Ruikang gradually fell in love with Hong Kong, the pearl of the Orient, prosperous, thriving, the people in this land are hardworking and dare to innovate, and the integration of Chinese and Western cultures makes this place a unique charm.
Life is very peaceful, except for Master Zhou's slight health, Ruikang spends most of his time with his father, and he wants to make up for the lack of filial piety over the years.
"Dad, do you feel better today?" Ruikang sat on the edge of the bed and asked, holding a bowl of bird's nest soup in his hand, and mixing it in the soup a few times with a spoon in one hand.
"It's better, maybe Hong Kong is too hot, a little unadaptable, I still miss the dry and cold of Beiping."
"You'll get used to it after a while." Ruikang fed Mr. Zhou a tablespoon of bird's nest.
Master Zhou said with a smile: "When people are old, they always want to return to their roots. I'm still thinking about our old house, cough~~"
Ruikang smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Although Ruikang is now by his side every day, Master Zhou feels very comforted, but looking at his son's depressed and troubled appearance, he is not happy, he knows his son's heart disease, and he also has a way to solve his son's heart disease, but he still can't defeat the demons in his heart, and he can't defeat some deep-rooted things.
Mei Ruojun and the whereabouts of that child, as long as he opens his mouth, he can make his son ecstatic, but he can't say it, he can't, he can't break the "rules".
Ruikang has become very quiet, unless necessary, he will never speak, either reading newspapers, reading books, or looking into the distance, with tobacco as a companion. His heart was like water.
At dinnertime, the whole family gathered around the big round table to eat, although Ruikang and Jiaqi had their own hearts, but the atmosphere was still quite harmonious. Ruikang sandwiched a piece of chicken thigh meat to Jiaqi, and sandwiched a piece of given Bang, the second elder of the Cheng family who was sitting there, and Master Zhou looked quite comforted, and Jiaqi also smiled appropriately.
Halfway through eating, suddenly there was a commotion at the gate, it seemed that someone was arguing, and I vaguely heard a woman roaring: "Zhou Ruikang!" You come out for me! ”
A servant hurriedly ran in and reported, "Sir, there is a woman holding a child and calling your name at the door. ”
Everyone at the table was stunned, and Mrs. Cheng reacted first and asked, "What woman?" ”
The servant glanced at Zhou Ruikang, a little embarrassed, and replied in a low voice: "She said that her surname is Hu, and the child is ......."
The soup spoon in Ruikang's hand fell into the bowl with a "bang", like a thunderbolt in the head, startling him and not knowing how to react for a while. Hu Xiaofen! It seems that it is time to settle that debt.
On the table, everyone focused on Zhou Ruikang's face, and everyone was full of doubts.
"Master, do you want to call the police?"
Ruikang listened to the increasingly excited screams outside the door, pressed his temples in pain, shook his head and said, "Take her to the study from the side door, don't pass through here." ”
The servant nodded and stepped back. Ruikang looked at everyone's skeptical eyes, shook his head apologetically, and said, "I'm sorry, I'll deal with this first."
I'll explain it to you later. ”
Ruikang stood up helplessly, his heart was like a lead block, and he withdrew from the dining room and walked towards the study.
In the study, a complete set of English leather sofas, bookcases, and desks are full of elegance and luxury. Zhou Ruikang and Hu Xiaofen met again, Ruikang didn't even want to look at her, but she was holding a beautiful little boy who was more than a year old in her arms, and couldn't help but let him take a look.
Zhou Ruikang frowned, sat in the boss's chair behind the desk, lit a cigar cigarette, and looked at Hu Xiaofen slightly, she seemed to be not doing well, a little embarrassed, although her hair was combed, but it was still a little messy, it may have been blown by the sea breeze, and her face was made up, but it was not very exquisite, as if she had just cried, and the clothes on her body were just an ordinary cheongsam,
Zhou Ruikang was not interested in her story, spit out a smoke ring, and asked straight to the point: "What do you want?" ”
"Humph!" Hu Xiaofen sneered: "I haven't seen you for two years, and you have become even more ruthless." Don't you even say hello? ”
"I've always been like this to people and things that I'm not interested in, say, what do you want?" He flicked the ash into the ashtray and didn't even invite her to sit down. Behind the gold-rimmed glasses were a pair of eyes that were as cold as ice.
"Ruikang, why are you doing this to me? Why? She began to cry and buried her face in the little boy's body.
"You know why, you'd better not go around in circles, I don't have much patience." Ruikang said impatiently.
Hu Xiaofen felt very uncomfortable, but she came prepared, and with the trump card in hand, she naturally wanted to make a price.
"Okay, since you are so ruthless, I don't have to be polite, this is your son, if you don't believe it, here is his birth certificate, you can go and investigate, besides...... Hehe......" Hu Xiaofen looked at the baby in his hand and said, "You can see if it's yours by looking at his eyebrows." ”
"What are you going to do?" Ruikang just glanced at the baby in her hand and asked indifferently.
"I want you to give me and the child a name."
"Impossible!" He felt that this Hu Xiaofen was simply whimsical and ridiculous, shook his head, answered her categorically, and still smoked a cigar leisurely.
"You! This is your son, and you don't even want to give him a name? Hu Xiaofen was surprised by Zhou Ruikang's cold-bloodedness, Zhou Ruikang she knew has always been loving and compassionate, when he was in the UK, he donated a lot of money to some orphanages, why is he so ruthless to his son now?
She came to the door because of Zhou Ruikang's rigid personality and soft personality, she bet that he would take her in in front of the child, and might even forgive her, as long as she can get close to him, then using the card of father-son affection, she can gradually let him accept herself. But...... She was wrong, very wrong, she didn't know Zhou Ruikang at all.
Zhou Ruikang is a person who is very clear about right and wrong, and he has never been able to tolerate injustice, injustice, and wrongdoing, let alone suffering such a big dumb loss, how can he accept their mother and son. She didn't know what kind of person Zhou Ruikang was, yes, Zhou Ruikang was a compassionate person, but at the same time, she had no tolerance for those dirty, ugly, and dark things.
"I can give you a sum of money at the end, take the money and get out of here with you and your son. Don't let me see you again in the future, or I'll call the police!" ”
"He's your son!"
"Hehe, Miss Hu, I don't care! Do you understand? Zhou Ruikang smiled coldly, took out the checkbook from the drawer, wrote a check for 20,000 US dollars to her with a big stroke of the pen, and said, "Take it and leave." If you dare to make trouble, the police will take you out soon. ”
Ruikang was about to leave the study after speaking.
Hu Xiaofen panicked, went crazy, all her wishful thinking collapsed in an instant under Zhou Ruikang's cold and piercing words and checks, looking at the back of him leaving, her mind spun quickly, no, no, no, she can't let him go away like this, she must keep him and bring the situation back.
As soon as she gritted her teeth, she reached out and pinched the child's arm heavily, the child was in pain, and she screamed "Wow~~~~~ and cried, the cry was heartbreaking.
Ruikang's heart trembled, stopped, turned his head, and looked at Hu Xiaofen in surprise, Hu Xiaofen saw him turn to look at himself, and felt that he had succeeded in his plan, and pinched the child's ass and thighs, stared at Ruikang with his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely: "Since you don't recognize him, I will strangle him!" ”
Saying that, he pinched the child a few times, Ruikang didn't expect Hu Xiaofen to be so poisonous to his child, and he was shocked and stopped: "Stop, what are you crazy about!" ”
Three steps forward in two, stopping her from continuing to poison the little baby. Hu Xiaofen seemed to be out of the way, her emotions collapsed, and she began to slap Ruikang uncontrollably, and Ruikang snatched the child from her hand while blocking her attack.
"You're just crazy!" Ruikang waved his hand and pushed her into the sofa, Hu Xiaofen stood up again, rushed up, and wanted to take the child back, crying and shouting in his mouth: "I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him." ”
Ruikang pushed her down on the sofa again, looked at the child's little arms, the calves were blue and purple, trembling with anger, and pointed at her and scolded her loudly: "You are simply a madman, you don't deserve to be a mother at all!" ”
Hu Xiaofen covered her face and sat on the sofa and cried bitterly. Ruikang hugged the little baby who was crying and crying, his face was full of tears, his heart was very painful, he remembered Nian'an, he and Ruojun's child was also thrown to the ground by his father when he was so old.
For a long time, he had been trying to suppress the pain in his heart, not wanting to turn over those desperate pasts, but the cry of the little baby in front of him hit the depths of his heart, his brows frowned, tightened into a pimple, this inexplicable child, this child he didn't want to admit at all, had made him have a strong sense of pity, he already owed Nian'an too much, should he continue to owe this child?
He gently patted the child and coaxed him, the child looked at him with black and white eyes while crying, he had the same eyes as himself, he knew that Hu Xiaofen was not lying, this was indeed his own child.
The natural father's love made him involuntarily hold the child tightly in his arms, and the soft body of the little baby reminded him of the feeling when he held Nian'an, which made him can't help but burst into tears.
Hu Xiaofen raised her eyes and saw the scene where he hugged the child, and she was very comforted, she knew that her plan had succeeded, and sure enough, Zhou Ruikang was soft-hearted, and his kindness was his weakness.
A quick knock on the door sounded, waking up Zhou Ruikang, who was immersed in the flood of father's love, the quarrel in the original room, the crying of children, and the sound of fighting, had already attracted everyone from the dining table to the door of the study.
"Ruikang! What's going on? Master Zhou asked with concern, in fact, everyone already had doubts in their hearts, women, children, crying and naming people to find Zhou Ruikang, as long as they have a little life experience, they can associate this connection.
