chapter038
When Yu Chi came to the study, Wei Zhengsheng was sitting and drinking tea.
He raised his head to observe Wei Chi's face, and then asked him, "Have you seen your parents?" ”
Wei Chi nodded, "They're downstairs." ”
"What are you talking about?" Wei Zhengsheng asked casually.
As soon as this question came out, Wei Chi's face became even more ugly than before.
As soon as Wei Zhengsheng saw Wei Chi's face, he probably guessed that it must have been unpleasant.
So, Wei Zhengsheng raised his hand and patted Wei Chi's shoulder, persuading him: "Don't take their words to heart!" ”
Wei Chi said "um", which was a response.
Wei Zhengsheng withdrew his hand and looked at Yu Chi, the expression on his face was much more serious than before.
"Think about the matter of changing jobs!" Wei Zhengsheng was quite bitter, "Chief Lu has already found a suitable candidate over there!" Both Zhang Bai and Shen Yang can take your place, they are both people you have cultivated, you should also know their strength-"
"Grandpa, I won't change jobs until I find out what happened." Wei Chi repeated his intentions and opinions again, "You don't have to persuade me in the future. ”
Hearing Yu Chi say this, Wei Zhengsheng couldn't help but let out a sigh: "Really don't think about it anymore?" He paused for a moment and continued: "It doesn't have to be in the peacekeeping force to find out what happened at the beginning, I told Xiaolu that he has been looking for someone to investigate the clues of this matter, this kind of big case, you have to give people time." ”
"Grandpa, you don't have to persuade me." Wei Chi expressed his attitude to Wei Zhengsheng for the last time: "I must personally investigate this matter." ”
"You kid, almost thirty years old, still have this temper." Wei Zhengsheng looked at him helplessly.
After Wei Zhengsheng said this, Wei Chi didn't answer, mainly because he didn't know how to answer, so he could only be silent.
After being silent like this for a few minutes, Wei Zhengsheng suddenly asked him, "Then do you have any plans to start a family?" ”
The topic jumped too fast, and Wei Chi was stunned for a moment after listening to it.
It took a full minute to digest it before I realized what Wei Zhengsheng was referring to-
Planning to start a family?
He really never thought about it.
"Not yet." Wei Chi said honestly, "It's not easy for me to have a career like this. ”
He knew this in his own heart.
With his profession, it's best not to talk about love.
Think about Wei Qi and Xia You, as well as Qi Qi, they are all lessons of blood and tears.
They do this kind of work, they just pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers, and they may die at some point.
Rather than delaying others, it is better to always be alone.
Wei Zhengsheng was amused when he heard Yu Chi's answer, "It turns out that you know it yourself." ”
Wei Chi: "Of course I know, in this profession, it is irresponsible to start a family." ”
Wei Zhengsheng couldn't refute it.
It's true, think about Wei Zhi and Xia You......
Thinking of Xia You, Wei Zhengsheng's face became a lot more serious. He turned his head to look at Wei Chi: "How is that kid?" ”
The child in Wei Zhengsheng's mouth should be Qiqi.
Qiqi has not been recognized by the Wei family since he was born, and Wei Zhengsheng doesn't hate this child, but he doesn't have the idea of bringing him back.
Mainly because of Xia You's background, they are a red family, and it will be very troublesome to care about people with such backgrounds.
At the beginning, because of this incident, Wei Zhi had a lot of tosses with his family.
But until he died, nothing came out.
"It's good." Wei Chi said, "Don't worry, I promised Wei Zhi that I would take good care of their mother and son." ”
Wei Zhengsheng let out an "um" and did not speak again.
**
Wei Chi communicated with Wei Zhengsheng quite peacefully, at least more harmoniously than when he communicated with Yu Junliao and Ji Yuan.
chatted with Wei Zhengsheng in the study for more than 40 minutes, and Wei Zhengsheng asked him to go downstairs to eat together.
Thinking of facing Yu Junliao and Ji Yuan again, Wei Chi had a headache.
He habitually raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows.
This action fell under Yu Zhengsheng's eyes, and Yu Zhengsheng stopped to look at him, "Are you still blaming your parents?" ”
Wei Chi shook his head, "No." ”
Although he said so, Wei Zhengsheng knew very well in his heart that he must be blaming them.
In fact, Wei Junliao and Ji Yuan have not been particularly fair to these two children since they were children, and he has been staying in this house, so naturally he is also looking at it.
Especially Ji Yuan, almost every day, he revolves around Wei Zhi.
In comparison, Wei Chi is simply not like his own.
After Wei Zhi's accident, Ji Yuan broke down, and then grabbed Wei Chi's collar and asked, "Why didn't you die?" ”
That scene, Wei Zhengsheng can't forget until now.
He also knew very well that Wei Chi minded this matter very much.
Wei Zhengsheng sighed and patted Captain Chi's shoulder, "Don't forget to take some words to heart, your mother is such a character, don't you know it after so many years." Let's go, let's go down to eat, how long has it been since our family has eaten together? ”
When people are old, they all yearn for reunion, especially after losing a grandchild, Wei Zhengsheng looks forward to the family sitting together in peace and eating a meal almost every day.
Today, he finally had this opportunity, and he cherished it very much.
Wei Chi could also understand Wei Zhengsheng's thoughts, he nodded, and followed Yu Zhengsheng downstairs to the restaurant.
Sure enough, when I entered the dining room, there were already plates on the table.
………
The restaurant is not big, a square table, four people sit down just right, and the scene alone is particularly warm.
It's just that the atmosphere is a little weirder.
After Wei Chi sat down, he didn't take the initiative to talk to Yu Junliao and Ji Yuan, and Wei Junliao's face was not very good, probably because he hadn't recovered from the conversation just now.
Ji Yuan's words were even more unlikely to take the initiative to talk to Wei Chi.
Ji Yuan was born to be the kind of person who has a bad temper and loves to be upright, no matter what aspect it is.
Wei Chi didn't want to talk to her, and she wouldn't take the initiative.
Wei Zhengsheng saw that the atmosphere between the three of them was not right, so he took the initiative to speak: "Wei Chi finally came back and let the kitchen cook a few dishes he likes!" ”
"Yes, tell Aunt Li directly what you want to eat." Yu Junliao nodded.
"No, I can." Wei Chi didn't mind what he ate.
Or to put it another way, he doesn't have much appetite to eat.
This trip home is not for food.
If it weren't for Wei Zhengsheng's phone call, he would never have come back to face them.
"Pork ribs and peanut soup?" At this time, Ji Yuan spoke, "I let the kitchen stew just now." ”
"......" Wei Chi moved his lips and did not speak.
Pork ribs and peanut soup is a dish that Wei Zhi likes very much, and this Wei Chi remembers.
will remember it so clearly, on the one hand, because he has a good relationship with the Wei Zhi brothers, and on the other hand, because of ...... Wei Chi himself is allergic to peanuts.
It's also strange to say that the two of them are obviously brothers, but they have different allergens.
Yu Chi also found out that he was allergic to peanuts after drinking pork ribs and peanut soup with Wei Zhi once, and he had a rash on his body.
That time, Ji Yuan was also present.
Now, it seems, she doesn't remember anything about it.
After realizing this, Wei Chi smiled self-deprecatingly, then moved his lips and said two words: "Whatever." ”
His attitude was very perfunctory, and Ji Yuan was a little unhappy after hearing it: "What kind of attitude do you have?" ”
"Okay, let's not say a word." Yu Junliao turned around and gave Ji Yuan a look.
After Ji Yuan received Yu Junliao's eyes, he was silent and did not continue.
Soon, the peanut pork rib soup came up.
For the first time, Ji Yuan actually gave Wei Chi a bowl of soup very enthusiastically.
You know, she rarely did this kind of thing before.
Seeing Ji Yuan doing this, Wei Chi's body stiffened a little, and his words of refusal were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.
Who in this world doesn't want to be cared for by their parents?
He hadn't experienced Ji Yuan's tenderness and care since he was a child, and she finally took care of him once-
Ji Yuan pushed the bowl of soup in front of Yu Chi: "You taste it." ”
Yu Chi didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed.
Happily, his mother finally served him a bowl of soup, and he couldn't remember the last time Ji Yuan personally served him something to eat;
What is sad is that as a mother, Ji Yuan completely forgot that he was allergic to peanuts.
In fact, when Yu Chi was allergic, the reaction was quite serious.
At that time, Wei Zhengsheng happened to be not at home, and it was his driver who helped find a doctor and took desensitization medicine for several days.
Wei Chi stared at the bowl of soup pushed over by Ji Yuan for a long time and didn't act, seeing him like this, Ji Yuan was slightly unhappy: "Why don't you eat it?" ”
Hearing Ji Yuan say this, Yu Chi finally came back to his senses.
He picked up the spoon and began to drink the soup.
After taking a few sips, he nodded to Ji Yuan, "Well, it's delicious." ”
Ji Yuan: "Well, Wei Zhi also likes to drink this kind of soup very much. ”
Yu Chi: "......"
"Ahem!" Wei Zhengsheng coughed twice and pulled the topic back: "Don't worry about drinking soup, try other dishes, I haven't come back for so long, let's see if Aunt Li's skills have improved." ”
Wei Chi knew that Wei Zhengsheng said this to ease his embarrassment.
He nodded at Wei Zhengsheng and began to eat the other dishes on the table.
………
During the meal, it is natural that you can't escape the problem of changing jobs. After discussing with Yu Chi before to no avail, Yu Junliao did not give up, and brought up this topic again during the meal.
This time, though, he took a different approach.
asked Wei Zhengsheng directly: "Dad, where are you going to let him go?" ”
"Not turning anywhere." Before Wei Zhengsheng could speak, Yu Chi had already answered the question first.
He put down his chopsticks and looked at Yu Junliao, "I have already discussed with my grandfather, and I will not change jobs until the matter is over." ”
Hearing Wei Chi say this, Yu Junliao didn't answer, but turned his gaze to Wei Zhengsheng next to him and asked him for confirmation.
Wei Zhengsheng handed Yu Junliao a helpless look.
As soon as he saw Wei Zhengsheng's eyes, Wei Junliao knew that Wei Chi still refused to change jobs.
Wei Junliao was silent for a few seconds, and said to Wei Chi: "What if we find out the matter? Can your brother come back? Why are you so obsessed? If you really love him so much, you shouldn't have let him follow you into the special forces in the first place! ”
Wei Junliao's emotions were a little excited, and when he said the end, his voice raised a lot.
Wei Chi knew that he was still minding this matter.
But it's normal, after all, they all love Wei Zhi so much.
He didn't have to defend it, because he thought so himself.
Wei Chi always believed that the reason why Wei Zhi would die was that he was at least 60 percent responsible.
Therefore, after Wei Zhi's death, he has been working on finding all kinds of evidence.
If nothing else, he just wanted to personally find out the person who shot him, and then end that person's life with his own hands.
It's almost become his obsession.
"Yes, you'd better change jobs." At this time, Ji Yuan, who had never been involved in this topic, also spoke.
She raised her eyes and looked at Wei Chi, "Your father and I will only have one son, if something happens to you...... What are we going to do? ”
Hearing Ji Yuan say this, Wei Chi couldn't help but be a little touched.
In fact, since he was a child, he hasn't heard Ji Yuan say much sensational words.
What she said today can be regarded as sensational.
Wei Chi was a little moved, but it didn't mean that he would change his mind.
What was originally decided will never change.
**
After Yu Chi ate peanuts, the allergic reaction soon came.
Before the meal was over, there was already a rash on his arms and neck.
Initially, it was Wei Zhengsheng who discovered it first.
Wei Bare's arms were one by one, and red envelopes were puffed up, and people like Rao Shi Wei Zhengsheng were a little frightened when they saw it: "What's going on on your arm?" ”
“…… It's okay. Wei Chi knew that it was an allergic reaction, so he was quite calm.
Wei Zhengsheng believed his nonsense, and immediately called the family doctor.
Within ten minutes, the doctor arrived with his things.
After examination, it was confirmed that this was a reaction caused by a food allergy.
The doctor took out the desensitization medicine for Wei Chi, and then told him the usage and dosage.
Wei Chi took the medicine and said "thank you".
Seeing that Wei Chi was so calm, the doctor was a little puzzled, but he still asked as usual: "Have you checked the source of allergens before?" Did you eat something you're allergic to today? ”
Yu Chi: "Hmm. ”
The doctor choked after hearing Wei Chi's answer.
What does he mean by this, knowing that he might be allergic, but still eating it?
Next to him, Wei Zhengsheng, Wei Junliao and Ji Yuan were also stunned.
Because of the three of them, they didn't know what Wei Chi was allergic to.
When he was eating just now, Yu Chi had been eating, as if he didn't have any taboos.
Ji Yuan couldn't help but ask: "Is there a mistake, he shouldn't have any allergies, right?" ”
At least, she didn't know what she was a mother.
"I'm allergic to peanuts." Wei Chi glanced at Ji Yuan and threw out this sentence lightly.
After he said this, the entire living room fell silent.
He said he had a peanut allergy. The three elders didn't know about this.
As soon as Wei Chi's words came out, Ji Yuan was extremely embarrassed, Ji Yuan stood in place, moved his lips, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Wei Chi is allergic to peanuts, she really doesn't know.
This was the first time she felt that she was not very competent as a mother.
Probably because Wei Chi has been obedient and sensible since she was a child, she is more mature than her peers, and she doesn't need people to worry about it, so she will care less about Yu Chi.
"Ah, then, I misremembered." Ji Yuan pursed her lips, "I thought you had the same taste as the second child......"
She thought.
Hearing these three words, Wei Chi smiled bitterly in his heart.
There is probably no more mother like her in this world, right?
I can't even figure out the allergens of my own son.
Wei Chi didn't think he was a hypocritical person, but this reality still affected his mood to some extent.
Of course, Wei Junliao and Wei Zhengsheng were also embarrassed.
Over there, the two of them glanced at each other, and finally Wei Junliao came out to play a round: "Your mother, she has a bad memory recently, if you want to say that you are too, why do you still drink that bowl of soup when you are allergic to peanuts?" Why don't such a big person know how to pay attention to their physical condition? ”
Wei Chi was silent for a few seconds and didn't speak, his eyes turned to Ji Yuan next to him, and he stared at her for four or five seconds.
Later, he spoke, and his voice was faint: "Because she served me soup for the first time." ”
Yu Junliao: "......"
Such as a fish in the throat.
For a moment, I didn't know what to say to refute.
That's right, Ji Yuan's preference for her two sons is undisguised.
Although Wei Junliao also loves Wei Zhi more, he will not show it very obviously, at least he will cover it up a little.
But Ji Yuan doesn't know how to hide it at all, and the difference between her and her two brothers is simply one heaven and one earth. As soon as Yu Chi said this, Yu Junliao also remembered that Ji Yuan had indeed not given Yu Chi a meal. Thinking of this, Yu Junliao looked at Ji Yuan. However, Ji Yuan didn't pay much attention to Yu Chi's words, she was still struggling with a question: "Then why is Wei Qi not allergic to peanuts......
In Ji Yuan's opinion, the two brothers should be the same in all aspects, she doesn't understand why Wei Chi is allergic to peanuts, obviously Wei Qi likes peanuts so much.
"No one has dictated me to be like him." Wei Chi said this sentence with a blank face.
Ji Yuan was a little embarrassed after hearing Wei Chi's words, and his face was very bad.
"Okay, you hurry up and take the medicine, don't toss your body!" Wei Zhengsheng saw that the mother and son were about to have a conflict, so he immediately stood up and started a round.
After Wei Chi heard Wei Zhengsheng's voice, his sanity came back a little.
He said "um" and went to take his medicine.
After swallowing the medicine, Wei Chi prepared to leave.
In this family, if you stay any longer, you will only be disappointed.
Wei Zhengsheng originally wanted Yu Chi to stay for a while, but seeing that Yu Chi was like this, he probably couldn't keep it.
To say that Ji Yuan's partiality as a mother is too powerful, now that Wei Zhi is gone, she is still like this.
Although Wei Chi didn't say it on the surface, he felt how uncomfortable he was.
"I have something to do, so I'll go first." Wei Chi stuffed the medicine into his pocket, said hello to them, and without waiting for a response, picked up the car keys and left.
Ji Yuan didn't react, Yu Junliao was originally about to open his mouth to stop Yu Chi, but was stopped by Wei Zhengsheng.
Wei Zhengsheng opened his hand to block Yu Junliao and gave him a look.
After Wei Junliao saw what Wei Zhengsheng meant, he didn't chase after Yu Chi anymore.
After coming out of Wei's house, Wei Chi took a deep breath and took a long breath, and his depressed mood was finally relieved a little.
He suddenly regretted coming back.
For so many years, he thought that he was used to Ji Yuan's differential treatment, but when he really faced it again, the loss in his heart was still inevitable.
He doesn't like to be pretentious like this.
The allergic part of his neck was a little itchy, Wei Chi raised his hand and scratched it, and then got into the car.
*
Because of the Xiao family, Cheng Rao and Huang Ping had a big quarrel.
The result of the quarrel was that Huang Ping stopped all the bank cards in her name, and Cheng Rao only had five or six thousand yuan in cash left.
Although she didn't have much to spend, she was very unaccustomed to the days when she was used to carrying her bank card with her, and suddenly only a few thousand yuan was left.
Huang Ping has already put forward conditions for Cheng Rao-
If you want to recover your bank card, you have to listen to her arrangement.
Cheng Rao felt that Huang Ping's abacus was really not right.
She did get used to spending lavishly, but not to the point where she had to compromise for money.
Moreover, it was quite tiring to quarrel with Huang Ping, and Cheng Rao didn't plan to continue arguing with her.
So, for the next afternoon, Cheng Rao locked herself in her room.
When lying in the quilt, Cheng Rao saw the traces on her body, which were left by Wei Chi last night.
In fact, she didn't realize it clearly after doing it last night, and she could only sigh that Wei Chi's physical strength was really good, and people from the special forces were different.
Later, Cheng Rao fell asleep unconsciously, and when she woke up again, it was half past five in the evening.
Well...... It's dinner time.
Cheng Rao rubbed her eyes, got up and took a shower, changed into a set of clothes and went downstairs.
As soon as I got downstairs, I ran into the nanny aunt at home.
She seemed to be waiting for her in the living room.
Cheng Rao's relationship with Huang Ping is not good, but the relationship with the family's maids, drivers, etc., is not bad.
"Miss, are you up? What do you want for dinner? The nanny aunt walked up to Cheng Rao and asked her opinion with a smile.
Cheng Rao waved her hand, "Don't be busy." ”
She eats alone, and it's really not worth keeping her busy again.
Cheng Rao paused for a moment before saying, "I'll go out to eat." ”
"It's not good to eat too much food outside, I'll make you whatever you want to eat!" The nanny aunt is still very persistent.
"No, I made an appointment with a friend." Cheng Rao waved her hand, and when she didn't have the patience to continue talking to her, she turned around and went to change her shoes.
The nanny aunt has been in this house for many years, and she knows what Cheng Rao's temper is, so she didn't stop her anymore.
After changing her shoes, Cheng Rao picked up the car keys and went out.
Oh yes, I forgot to say, wasn't her car scraped by Yu Chi before, and it was sent to the 4S store before, and it was repaired and brought back.
Cheng Rao drove out of the door and came to the most prosperous part of Los Angeles.
There are many famous restaurants here, and several of her favorite restaurants are here.
Cheng Rao found a parking lot to park the car, and then got out of the car with her bag.
It seems like it's Friday, so there are a lot of people here, and there are queues at almost every restaurant.
Cheng Rao found a hot pot restaurant, sat at the door, and waited for the number to be called.
Bored, Cheng Rao had to bow her head and play with her mobile phone.
When he lowered his head to play with his mobile phone and waited, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in front of him.
“…… Cheng Rao? ”
