Bamboo Horse Alpha - Chapter 57

The word “death” made Yu Hui stunned for a moment.

In her life, she has brushed shoulders with death too many times.

After being forced to marry Bi Nanqing, she tried to end her life more than once, but in the end she didn’t dare to do it because of her timidity.

After giving birth to Yu Jiu, she used indifference to isolate everyone, as if she could distance herself from those people.

Her father gave her to others like a commodity. Before the accident happened, the person she hated the most was not Bi Nanqing, but the father who personally destroyed her.

But it wasn’t until her father was imprisoned that she realized that even if she had hated him for more than ten years, she still couldn’t remain indifferent.

During that time, she kept dreaming about her father being executed by shooting. She was so frightened that she threw down her face and begged Bi Nanqing to save her, but in the end it was of no avail.

Then my mother died of a heart attack, right in front of her eyes.

And that person, in order to find her, accidentally murdered and went to prison.

She has seen too many people leave her side… Will Yu Jiu leave her too?

Will Yu Jiu die?

The indifference and determination on Yu Jiu’s face when he held the fruit knife flashed across Yu Hui’s mind, as well as the determination and fearlessness when he snatched away the broken porcelain last time.

Dazzling blood flashed before his eyes, and those horrifying images replayed in his mind one after another.

Yu Jiu is not afraid of death.

He is more brave and fearless than himself, as long as he wants, he can pierce his own throat with a sharp weapon without hesitation!

This thought made Yu Hui feel cold all over.

She suddenly tightened her arms, shook her head and said, “No, no, it’s not my fault, it’s not my fault…”

“Ma’am!” Zhang Ma supported her vigorously.

Yu Hui suddenly trembled like a sieve.

Bi Nanqing watched quietly, with a trace of unbearable flashing in his eyes, “I’ll give you two choices, first, I’ll take Xiao Jiu away, and after one year the custody will expire, he can go wherever he wants, second, if you don’t If you are willing to release him, we will see you in court.”

Yu Hui looked up at him.

With these two choices, Yu Jiu will leave her forever.

She knew that Yu Jiu hated her and had been trying to escape from her.

The desire to control in her bones made her unwilling to let go, and she subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Bi Nanqing said suddenly, “Chris is out of prison.”

Yu Hui froze suddenly.

“I brought him back to China. He has been in prison for more than ten years. He has nothing now. He is worse than ten years ago. He…”

“You are not qualified to judge him! You are not worthy to speak of him!”

Yu Hui suddenly looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her eyes were tearing apart.

Bi Nanqing looked at her silently.

It has been more than ten years, no matter how much unwillingness and jealousy, Yu Hui’s heart that can’t be warmed has been tortured until there is only peace left.

“Then do you want to see him?”

He asked in a low voice, waiting for Yu Hui to make a choice.

Downstairs, Yu Jiu was listening to Li Chengke’s more and more distracted topic, “This is a temporary mark, injecting pheromone from the gland needs to pierce the skin, not to mention it will hurt, biting too much is not good for the skin after all, In your case, I suggest you use other methods, such as…”

Before he could finish speaking, the door opened, and two bodyguards pressed a person in.

“Master, excuse me.”

Brother Zhong came in and greeted Yu Jiu, and then asked his subordinates to take him upstairs.

A few minutes later, the bodyguard came down from upstairs and went straight out the door.

The person who walked at the end stood at the stairs and looked in the direction of the sofa.

Yu Jiu didn’t have time to avoid it, and met those eyes that were almost the same color as his.

After more than five years, when the father and son met for the first time, Bi Nanqing was filled with guilt, but Yu Jiu felt that it was very strange.

“Xiao Jiu.”

Bi Nanqing spoke suddenly, his voice was as gentle as his own.

He seems to always have such a gentle and elegant temperament, which makes people unconsciously let go of their guards, and at the same time makes people unpredictable.

Yu Jiu didn’t respond.

Although Li Chengke has been acting as the middleman between the father and son, when the two face each other, he doesn’t know what to say.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Suddenly a voice said: “Uncle Bi, long time no see.”

Bi Nanqing looked up at the speaker.

Zhai Chi’s signature smile sat beside Yu Jiu, easily breaking the awkward atmosphere.

Bi Nanqing glanced at the almost tight distance between him and Yu Jiu, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

He nodded gracefully, and walked slowly towards the sofa, but did not sit down.

There was no emotion on his face, nor was there any look of tiredness, it was hard for Yu Jiu to imagine that he just had an argument with a mental patient.

Is it already numb?

Yu Jiu thought, if in a few years, after confronting Yu Hui, would he still be able to remain so calm?

He was distracted for a moment, not noticing that his father had been staring at him for a long time, until Li Chengke coughed heavily.

Yu Jiu dazed, looked at Bi Nanqing, said “Dad” to his lips, but couldn’t say anything.

“Can we talk alone?” Bi Nanqing said.

Yu Jiu subconsciously looked at Zhai Chi.

Both father and son’s reactions were aimed at the other person.

Zhai Chi was nervous and excited at the same time.

The nervous thing is to actually meet the parents, he is not as easy as he imagined.

Excitingly, Yu Jiu has already learned to ask him for help when he can’t make up his mind.

He squeezed Yu Jiu’s hand and said with a smile, “Go, I’ll pick you up later.”

His encouragement reassured Yu Jiu a lot, but it also complicated Bi Nanqing’s eyes.

Yu Jiu got up and followed Bi Nanqing to leave, and entered a coffee shop near the community.

Coincidentally, this coffee shop is only a convenience store away from the clinic Yu Jiu often goes to.

And after entering the coffee shop, the owner of the coffee shop’s reaction after seeing Bi Nanqing also made Yu Jiu realize that this didn’t seem to be a coincidence.

Seeing Yu Jiu staring at the owner of the coffee shop who had turned and left after ordering coffee, Bi Nanqing knew that he had already guessed, “Sorry, being stared at made you uncomfortable, right?”

He directly admitted that Yu Jiu was a little surprised, he froze for a moment, and shook his head slightly.

Before that, he didn’t know that he was being watched. Compared with this kind of secret surveillance, Yu Hui’s “blatant” control was even more unacceptable to him.

He even felt a little comforted.

Did his dad visit him secretly?

“You still like this.” Bi Nanqing said, “You were not allowed to drink it when you were a child, and you asked your aunt to make it for you secretly.”

“…”

What Yu Jiu ordered was a glass of Los Planes.

Children can’t drink coffee, but the more they can’t drink, the more curious they are.

When Yu Jiu had skin when he was young, he was not allowed to drink it, so he pestered him to ask for it. In the end, his aunt had no choice but to make him chocolate puffs with chocolate, and lied to him that they were made with coffee.

When Bi Nanqing suddenly mentioned the family routine when he was a child, Yu Jiu pursed his lips unconsciously.

He almost forgot what it was like to have such a relaxed daily life.

Nor did memory dispel the alienation between father and son that had not been seen in more than five years.

Yu Jiu picked up the coffee cup and stirred it with a spoon, but did not answer his question, and asked softly, “Why did you come back suddenly?”

Bi Nanqing paused, suppressed the disappointment in his eyes, took a sip of coffee and said, “I’ll take you away.”

“…Where are you going?”

“You can go anywhere you want.”

Yu Jiu moved her lips, but said nothing.

He no longer needs his father to take him away.

Seeing that he didn’t speak, Bi Nanqing pondered for a moment and asked, “Are you blaming me?”

Yu Jiu still lowered his head.

It is impossible to say no to blame.

But he also understands.

After the divorce, Yu Hui kept him by her side and used him as a punching bag, but at the same time, he was also Yu Hui’s last spiritual support after the family fell apart.

His father loves him, but he can’t take him away.

If they take him away by force, they don’t know what will happen to Yu Hui.

And when Bi Nanqing came back this time, Yu Jiu had an intuition that it had something to do with the foreigner he brought to the villa.

who’s that person?

Why did Bi Nanqing ask someone to take that person upstairs after arguing with Yu Hui?

What is the relationship between that man and Yu Hui?

Just as he was thinking, Bi Nanqing suddenly said, “Before I returned to China, someone from Zhai Chi had contacted me.”

Yu Jiu’s hand stirring the coffee suddenly paused: “Zhai Chi has someone contact you?”

He reacted so quickly, Bi Nanqing was startled, and couldn’t help laughing: “Is it because you don’t plan to talk to me if you don’t mention him?”

Yu Jiu: “…”

“Can I hear Dad tell me about the past?”

Just now Yu Jiu was teased by his own father, he was inexplicably embarrassed and a little apprehensive, wishing he could change the subject now, he nodded slightly.

Bi Nanqing looked at the marks on the back of his right hand that hadn’t completely faded away, her eyes darkened.

Originally, he should be like an ordinary father, apologizing to his child for his irresponsibility, caring about his injuries, and feeling sorry for his difficulties.

But he was the one who left his son to Yu Hui five years ago.

After more than five years of waiting on the sidelines, a simple apology has become extraordinarily hypocritical.

“She was not like she is now. She was very lively before. Although she was a bit stubborn, she was also a very cute omega.”

Bi Nanqing didn’t say who it was, but Yu Jiu could tell that he was talking about Yu Hui.

It’s just that Yu Jiu couldn’t associate Yu Hui with the word “cute” no matter what.

He lowered his head and took a sip of the coffee, feeling a bit bitter, and added two more pieces of sugar to it.

“The American you saw today is named Chris. He is your mother’s college classmate.” Bi Nanqing said, “And her lover.”

Yu Jiu: “…”

When Bi Nanqing said “lover”, he didn’t use the past tense.

Yu Jiu suddenly wanted to ask, Chris is Yu Hui’s lover, so who are you?

Since Yu Hui has a lover, why did she marry into the Bi family?

Why did the guy named Chris go to jail?

Having been used to suppressing his emotions for many years, Yu Jiu couldn’t ask his own questions frankly. He looked up at the person opposite and felt that his father’s head was a little green.

“I don’t have a green hat on my head.” Bi Nanqing smiled helplessly.

Yu Jiu choked his throat with a mouthful of coffee, coughed several times, embarrassment flashed across his face.

Should it be said that father and son are connected?

The expression on his face shouldn’t be so obvious, right?

Bi Nanqing handed him a tissue, and didn’t seem to mind the embarrassing thing of being misunderstood by his son, and even smiled a little… lovingly.

Yu Jiu wiped his mouth in embarrassment, “I… didn’t mean that.”

Bi Nanqing said: “It’s okay, it’s not surprising that you think so.”

But he did not wear green on his head, because before he and Yu Hui got married, Chris had already been in prison.

Bi Nanqing gently stirred the coffee in front of him, which was exactly the same as Yu Jiu’s action just now, “If it wasn’t for me, Chris and your mother might both have a good life.”
