Chapter 30
Because Song Xici told Xu You that he was going home for dinner, Xu You didn't come today. He held the batter-like noodles that he had cooked while looking at his phone while eating bite after bite. He sent a message to share the recent days.
Zhao Mengjiao and Huo Ruida were discharged from the hospital, and because they received another sum of compensation, the two of them have been living in style recently. Zhao Mengjiao went to bars and danced, and Huo Ruida gambled and partyed. Almost no one came home. Huo Chengying got the long-lost cleanliness at home. Study how to make cakes.
Song Xici looked at the paste in his bowl, accepted Huo Chengying's proposal, turned on the video and started teaching himself how to cook.
The cooking tutorial is placed on the tablet, and the video call between him and Huo Chengying is on the mobile phone. Huo Chengying is sitting at the dining table, watching Song Xici's movements through the video, and constantly corrects, "Brother, you can't smash the eggs so hard. The shells are so broken that they get mixed with the egg whites."
"Stir first and then fry, just fry like this, it depends on what you want to eat."
Song Xici stared intently at the marble stove, cracked the egg shell with a click, pinched the crack with his thumbs and broke it, and a whole egg fell into the bowl.
It's not that hard to cook.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and began to break up the eggs and pour them into the oil pan. Stir-fry the egg liquid until it was half-cooked, then add rice and salt. Under Huo Chengying's guidance, a large bowl of fried rice with eggs came out of the pan in a short while. As for the tutorial on the tablet , which is of no use at all.
Seeing the fried rice with eggs that looked good, Huo Chengfeng clapped his hands and called his name, but when he was happy, Huo Chengying's phone and watch were suddenly snatched away, and Huo Ruida's scarlet eyes appeared in the video.
Huo Chengying's exclamation came from the phone, Song Xici hurriedly asked, "What are you doing, don't touch Yingying!"
"Give me some more money, and I'll be able to make money right away. If I make money, I can get 600 million, and your sister can live a good life." Huo Ruida's tone was almost crazy, "Call me Money, if not, I'll throw away Huo Chengying, a small loser, if you hear me, send me money quickly."
"Damn it, I said it would cost 500 million, but the beating bastard gave me tens of thousands. What is tens of thousands worth? Zhao Mengjiao, you stinky woman, did you take my money?"
The phone and watch were in Huo Ruida's hands. Song Xici didn't know what was going on with Huo Chengying, so he hurried out to hail a taxi. Thinking of what Song Yanting told him before, he called Song Yanting again in the car.
Song Yanting told him to wait outside the compound, don't go in alone, after a while, Song Yanting brought Gao She and a few bodyguards to the gate of the compound.
With such a posture, even the security guards in the community let them in without asking them aloud.
Song Xici came to Huo's house before, and a group of people went straight to Huo's house, but no one opened the doorbell when they rang, several bodyguards directly smashed the window and went in and opened the door, the TV and glass coffee table in the living room were all smashed , the house was full of mess, Horida rummaged in the bedroom, and the sound of cursing kept coming.
The sound of windows being smashed outside startled him, he came out of the bedroom, and when he saw Song Xici, he rushed towards him frantically, "Son, son, please give dad some more money, please, dad will be able to make money soon .”
Song Xici ignored him at all, and after searching around, he found Huo Chengying in the gap between the sofa and the wall. The little girl was terrified, she hugged her head tightly and curled up into a ball, not even daring to open her eyes.
"Give me the money, do you hear me, give me the money!" Huo Ruida was pushed to the ground by the bodyguards, but he was still howling heart-piercingly, his eye sockets and eyeballs were red, and he was salivating abnormally, as if he was in a mental state unusual.
Song Yanting asked Gao She to call the police, and Huo Ruida, who was held down by the bodyguard, kept calling, "Give me the money, give me the money, fuck it, Song Xici, if you don't pay me, I'll kill Huo Chengying, who loses money, you Didn't you tell me not to touch her, if you don't pay me, I will sell her, did you hear that?"
Song Xici covered Huo Chengying's ears with both hands, and didn't reply a word. Talking to such a delirious person would only waste his energy.
Huo Chengying hugged Song Xici's waist, her eyes were closed tightly, her breathing was short of breath and her whole body was trembling, she asked softly, "Brother, are you leaving? Are we leaving?"
"Immediately, we will leave immediately." Song Xici hugged Huo Chengying, patted her on the back to comfort her, "I will take you away today."
More than ten minutes later, the police arrived at the scene. Seeing Huorida's state, they first took him back for a urine test to confirm that he was taking drugs.
The police sent a gentle policewoman to question Huo Chengying. After learning about the Huo family's situation, they immediately summoned Zhao Mengjiao. Zhao Mengjiao was found in a bar, and she was still drunk when she arrived at the police station. When he heard that Huorida took drugs, he seemed to wake up immediately, and argued: "I don't know about his drug use, and I don't use drugs. You can't arrest me because of this."
Song Xici didn't want Huo Chengying to see this, so he took her outside and waited. After a while, Song Yanting, Zhao Mengjiao, and a policewoman all came out. The policewoman was very worried and told Zhao Mengjiao, "From now on, you must be careful with your children. Well, if there is another time, it won't be so easy."
Zhao Mengjiao nodded, "Yes, yes, comrade policeman, don't worry, I'm different from that addict Huo Ruida, I will definitely take good care of my children in the future, don't worry, there won't be a next time."
Originally, the police station mainly focused on mediating this kind of thing, seeing that Zhao Mengjiao had a good attitude of admitting her mistakes, so she didn't make things difficult for her.
Zhao Mengjiao stretched out her hand towards Huo Chengying, "Yingying, come here, let's go home, I have caused trouble for everyone today."
Song Xici looked at Song Yanting, who shook his head, saying that he could only return Huo Chengying to Zhao Mengjiao.
According to the current legal regulations, Zhao Mengjiao is a person with full capacity and can raise Zhao Mengjiao by herself, so there is no way to deprive her of Huo Chengying's guardianship.
The Huo family is all distant relatives, and they haven't even had much contact with each other. It's impossible to transfer the custody, but fortunately, Huo Ruida can't go back to the Huo family, and he will be sent directly to the drug rehabilitation center.
After leaving the gate of the police station, the honest look on Zhao Mengjiao's face disappeared immediately, and she scolded Song Xi: "You are a thing that beats your father and your mother, and now you put your father in jail, are you happy? Poor thing , It’s useless after contacting.”
She scolded wildly, but she still didn't dare to speak too loudly, for fear of disturbing Song Yanting who was waiting by the car. Seeing Song Yanting frowned in dissatisfaction, she immediately hugged Huo Chengying and left. Huo Chengying called her brother and was rude by her. I pressed it back into my arms, "What's your name, it's so annoying."
"Let's go, young master." Gao She came over and called him, "Don't worry, Mr. Song is already making preparations. When you arrive, he will definitely help you get custody of your sister."
Song Xici didn't move, until Zhao Mengjiao disappeared without a trace, he let out a heavy breath, he couldn't be so decadent, before receiving Huo Chengying, he had to be independent first.
He followed Song Yanting into the car, and Song Yanting patted his shoulder, "Are you all right?"
Song Xici shook his head, "Brother, thank you, if you don't come, I will definitely have to fight Huorida."
Song Yanting: "If you want to get Huo Chengying's custody without worrying about the future, you can only go through legal procedures to prove Zhao Mengjiao's long-term domestic violence after you become an adult, and then award her custody to you."
"Well, thank you brother." Song Xici responded, but he had already made up his mind that he couldn't rely on his family for everything. It was his business to raise Huo Chengying in the future, and he had to work hard first.
Song Yanting sent him back to his small home. When he got home, he took out his mobile phone, only to find that Cheng Xiuhe had sent him several messages complaining about his parents. The winter vacation was more than half over, but they still didn't let him go out.
Song Xici comforted him a few words, fell down on the sofa and didn't want to do anything, in a daze, Huo Chengfeng knocked on his door, and as soon as he entered, Huo Chengfeng hugged him tightly, "Why didn't you call me, How is Yingying?"
"I went back with Zhao Mengjiao." Song Xici said, "We are not adults now, there is nothing we can do."
Huo Chengfeng also sighed, "Zhao Mengjiao is actually alright. Although she doesn't care much about Yingying, her actions are not as ordinary as Huo Ruida's. Yingying will have a better life in the future than now."
"By the way, do you know the current situation of Cheng Xiuhe?" Huo Chengfeng looked at Song Xici who had his eyes closed, "His parents asked him to cut off contact with you, but he refused, and he was locked up at home for the whole winter vacation. Dad said he wouldn't let him out unless he broke up with you."
It was the first time Song Xici had heard of this matter, and Cheng Xiuhe sent him many messages, but they were all talking about himself and Xu You, without mentioning these matters at all.
He immediately called Cheng Xiuhe, angrily wanting to ask him why he didn't tell himself this kind of thing, but when Cheng Xiuhe answered the phone with a cheerful voice, he couldn't ask again.
He didn't speak, Cheng Xiuhe said hello several times, and he didn't know what to say, Cheng Xiuhe murmured strangely from the receiver, "Could it be that you pressed it, why didn't you make a sound for a long time? "
"No, I just want to talk to you." Song Xici and Huo Chengfeng looked at each other, then went to the pavilion with their mobile phone in hand, "How are you doing?"
"Except that I can't go out to play with you, there's nothing else. My dad seems to have a convulsion. He insists on locking me up at home. I told him that I won't cause trouble again. He just doesn't believe me. Really Annoying." Cheng Xiuhe complained, "I really want to come out and play basketball with you."
"You won't play with me even if you say you're out of the house, so he'll let you out." Song Xici felt that Cheng Xiuhe was a bit stupid, because he was locked up for so long just because of himself.
"You know?" Cheng Xiuhe changed his tone, and said a little embarrassedly: "Who told you, didn't I say don't tell you, it's really annoying."
"Cheng Xiuhe." Song Xici called him, "Don't be as stubborn as your parents, just be soft."
"If I give in, I have to break up with you. We have been brothers for so long, why, you want me to abandon you?" Cheng Xiuhe shouted unhappily, "No, Song Xici, the friendship between us , isn’t it worth fighting for? Don’t worry, he will let me out after school starts.”
"But I don't want you to make trouble like this because of me and my family." Song Xici was a little worried.
But Cheng Xiuhe said without the slightest pressure: "Don't worry, I'm the only child, they can still break up with me, because if they fight, they will break up with you, it's ridiculous."
"Then don't make too much noise." Song Xici said, "Be gentle, don't you want to come out to see Xu You?"
Cheng Xiuhe was strangely silent for a while, and then replied, "Okay, don't worry about me, I will take care of it myself."
Cheng Xiuhe seemed to be locked up for the whole winter vacation, and his parents had no choice but to release him before school started. Cheng Xiuhe in the new semester seemed to be more sleep-deprived than before, and entered the school yawning. Song Xici's classroom, "I heard that you did very well in the final exam last semester. Which teachers did you find to make up classes? Can you recommend them to me?"
"You also want to make up lessons?" Song Xici was surprised. Like himself before, Cheng Xiuhe never cared about his grades.
"Then what, Xu You's book is one, and I want to go too." Cheng Xiuhe scratched the back of his head, "Do you recommend it?"
"Of course I recommend it." Song Xici told Cheng Xiuhe all the teacher's contact information in his mobile phone. After sending it successfully, Song Xici asked again, "Is Xiaofeng still at the same table with Bai Xirou?"
"That's right, the two of them seem to be planning to fall in love. Bai Xirou has already been to Song's house." Cheng Xiuhe yawned big, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I'll go to dinner with you at noon, remember to wait for me." Song Xici pinched his nails, looking not in a good mood.
He was wondering why Huo Chengfeng liked Bai Xirou, Bai Xirou was neither kind nor naive, did he like his good looks?But he is also very good-looking, he is not happy.
"Why don't we go to your house to eat, and we can also meet Xu You." Cheng Xiuhe suggested, "I'll go back and tell Huo Chengfeng later."
"No, he will definitely bring Bai Xirou with him again." Song Xici refused, "Let's just stay at school and give Xu You a holiday today?"
"What's the matter, you don't like her?" Cheng Xiuhe said strangely: "She just talks a little too much and is a bit annoying, and the rest seems to be fine."
"It's not that I don't like her, it's just that I'm not that familiar with her. I don't like people who are not so familiar with me to go to my house." Song Xici didn't understand why, but he rejected Bai Xirou a little bit, if he said it was because Song Xici was sick and didn't think there was anything to be angry about when someone took a photo of them before.
He didn't understand his emotions, so he became more and more irritated when others came to question him because of this matter. He told Cheng Xiuhe to go back to the classroom, "Anyway, we'll eat in the school cafeteria. Go back to the classroom quickly, class is about to begin."
"Okay." Cheng Xiuhe got the teacher's phone number and wanted to contact tutoring, so he went back to the classroom without hesitation.
At noon, only Huo Chengfeng and Cheng Xiuhe were waiting downstairs. Song Xici felt strange, and looked around but did not see Bai Xirou. Huo Chengfeng saw that he was looking for someone, so he said: "Cheng Xiuhe said You don't like Bai Xirou very much, so I didn't ask her to come with you."
Song Xici was actually happy for a moment, but felt that his happiness was inexplicable, so he stabilized his expression and argued, "I don't dislike her. If you don't call her, won't she lose her temper with you?" ?”
"Just make trouble, he is not as important as you." Huo Chengfeng smiled and said, "Let's go, you haven't eaten in the cafeteria for a long time, let's go and order something you like."
Cheng Xiuhe followed behind the two of them with a face full of toothache, imitating their speech in a sly manner, and finally joked: "What are you doing, it looks like you are in a relationship."
"You're just in a relationship!" Song Xici's ears turned red with embarrassment from this joke, and he looked at Cheng Xiuhe angrily, "After you talk nonsense like this, I won't match you with Xu You."
"Oh, I'm angry." Cheng Xiuhe giggled and tickled Song Xici.
He backed up to dodge, and accidentally stepped on Huo Chengfeng's foot and bumped into his arms. Before, Huo Chengfeng was not as tall as he is now, but at some point, Huo Chengfeng was a little taller than himself.
He bumped into Huo Chengfeng's nose, and Huo Chengfeng covered his nose with one hand in pain, but the other hand protected him from falling. He was in tears from the pain, but he still asked Song Xici, "Are you?"
"Is your nose okay, let me have a look." Song Xici was anxious.
"It's okay, it's just a little pain, don't worry."
Huo Chengfeng smiled and raised his head, refusing to show it to Song Xici, but Song Xici insisted on pulling his hand away to look at it, luckily it was only a little red.
"Okay, let's go to eat quickly, there will be no room later." Cheng Xiuhe yawned, "I have to go to the dormitory for lunch break after dinner."
They ran into Bai Xirou when they were eating, and she really didn't look very good, but at least she didn't make a fuss in the cafeteria, but came over after eating and called Huo Chengfeng.
Huo Chengfeng was as gentle as ever to Bai Xirou, and Bai Xirou's expression eased a lot. The two of them left the cafeteria together, and they didn't know where they went.
Song Xici was a little worried about Huo Chengfeng, but he couldn't get involved in the matter between the two of them, so he had to go to the dormitory with Cheng Xiuhe and wait.
There are four beds in this dormitory, and Song Xici was also included in the previous application, so he also has a bed, and the other seat is vacant, and no one has moved in so far.
After more than half an hour, Huo Chengfeng walked in in a bad mood, but when he saw Song Xici, he immediately laughed, "How did you figure out that you are going to take a lunch break today? Didn't you study in the classroom all the time?"
"I'm too tired. I'll take a rest today for noon, and I have to go to my brother's office to study in the evening. I can't take it anymore." Song Xici was embarrassed to say that he was worried about Bai Xirou's quarrel with him, so he waited to see his mood.
"You haven't made your bed yet, so you can sleep in my bed, I won't be sleepy at noon today." Huo Chengfeng pushed Song Xici to sit beside his bed, "I just said that you pushed yourself too hard, you should rest properly All at once."
Song Xici didn't refuse, he lay down inside, "Why don't we rest together?"
Although it is a single bed, it is not impossible for two people to sleep together. Huo Chengfeng lay down directly. Both of them lay on their sides, and neither of them fell asleep. Listening to Cheng Xiuhe's breathing, it seemed that they were together It's like listening to a song.
However, the two of them did not speak tacitly, and both closed their eyes, pretending to be asleep.
Cheng Xiuhe slept best throughout the noon. In the afternoon, Song Xici went back to the classroom and used the recess to memorize the English words that he hadn't memorized at noon. After school in the afternoon, as soon as he arrived at Song Yanting's office, the English teacher began to dictate.
Song Xici was used to studying here, and Song Yanting was very relieved of him, so he left Gao She here to take care of him, and took another special assistant to other companies.
Song Xici didn't care much about his elder brother's absence, he just said goodbye to him and then lowered his head to study again.
It was past eleven o'clock after today's tutoring class. Song Xici received a call from a special assistant asking him to look at the data of a file on Song Yanting's computer. The people there spoke very fast. Song Xici I thought I was in a hurry for the data, so I went to check Song Yanting's computer before I had time to ask more questions.
Song Xici knew the password of Song Yanting's computer. He successfully found the document and reported the data to the other party.
"Young master, what are you doing?" Gao She opened the door and came in, seeing him operating on Song Yanting's computer, asked with some doubts.
"A special assistant called and asked me to look at the documents." Song Xici picked up the phone and wanted to show Gao She, but the other party had already hung up.
Gao She didn't doubt Song Xici's words, he just said: "Let's go, I'll take you home, it's already very late."
Song Xici was also very sleepy, so he went home and went straight to sleep.
Song Xici didn't see Song Yanting for several weeks, but Song Yanting was often so busy in the past, so Song Xici didn't think it was strange until one morning, he was woken up by Song Yanting's phone call.
At this time, there was still more than an hour before the morning self-study, and he answered the phone drowsily, "Brother, why are you calling so early?"
"Song Song, did you touch my computer when I was making up classes three weeks ago?" Song Yanting asked him.
"Your special assistant called me to ask me about the data on a file in your computer, so I opened it and looked at it." Song Xici yawned big, "What's wrong?"
Song Yanting didn't answer his question, and continued to ask, "Is the special assistant who called you a man or a woman?"
"Men, aren't your special assistants all men?" Song Xici felt strange, and asked in confusion, "What's the matter, brother?"
"But I brought a female secretary with me that day, and the special assistant never left my sight from the beginning to the end. Do you really not know what happened, or are you just pretending to be stupid?" Song Yanting sighed over the phone, extremely disappointed: "It's only a year, Song Song, can't you wait for such a short time?"
Song Xici was baffled by what he said. He quickly got up from the bed and wanted to wake up and talk to Song Yanting, but Song Yanting had already hung up the phone. He called back and reminded that Song Yanting was on the phone.
She went out to class in the morning, and when she opened the door, she saw Huo Chengying waiting by his door with her schoolbag on her back.
"Brother." Huo Chengying hurried up to hug Song Xici.
"Yingying, why are you here?" Song Xici felt strange. At this time, she should be going to school. Why did she appear at her door inexplicably?
"Mom said she gave me to you." Huo Chengying said happily, "He sent me over early in the morning and said that I could live with you in the future. I don't know what happened. Yesterday there was a Uncle came to the house and asked mom a lot of questions."
"It's okay, I'll take you to school first." Song Xici felt more and more strange in his heart. In the morning, Song Yanting's call came out of nowhere, and now that Zhao Mengjiao sent Huo Chengying over again, he always felt that something happened.
After sending Huo Chengying off, Song Xici stayed at school anxiously until noon. He went to Class 21 to look for someone, but found that Huo Chengfeng didn't come to school today, so he called Huo Chengfeng, and only then did he know the door of the Song family mansion today The front was already crowded with reporters, and there was no way to go out.
The reason is that a new product released by the Song family is almost exactly the same as another one. The release of the two new products was just around the corner, but the Song family released it a few seconds later.
