Chapter 1195: Lies won’t hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife
The noise from the Shao family soon attracted other residents of the courtyard.
As soon as Zhou Yanlin and his wife saw the scars on Liu Yuling's face, they knew what had happened.
Luo Zhimei helped Liu Yuling sit on the chair to comfort her.
Zhou Yanlin walked up to Shao Bingyi and complained, "Teacher Shao, this is your fault. Why did you fight with Yuling after drinking a little? How did Yuling do anything wrong to you?"
Shao Bingyi knew he was in the wrong, but he still pointed at Shao Xingchi and said, "Yes, it is wrong for me to beat my wife, but is it right for this brat to hit his father? As the old saying goes, the ruler is the leader of his subjects, and the father is the leader of his sons..."
Shao Xingchi got even angrier when he heard this: "You call yourself a scholar, but you haven't learned modern history? The Qing Dynasty was destroyed long ago, and you are still here with your feudal dregs."
Shao Bingyi was speechless and could only continue to talk about the father and son: "See, this is the son I have raised for more than ten years. No matter what I say, I am still your father. How can you talk to me like this?"
"Anyway, you can't hit my mom. I tell you, I'm going to practice fighting skills later. If you dare to touch my mom again, I'll fight you!" Shao Xingchi became more and more excited. If Xie Wanghe hadn't been holding him back, he would have already ridden on Shao Bingyi's face and attacked him.
Zhou Yanlin quickly pushed Shao Xingchi away and said, "Kid, there is no such hatred between father and son. Your father was wrong in this matter. I asked him to apologize to your mother, but you were also wrong. You should apologize to your father later. There is no such thing as overnight hatred in this family."
Zhou Yanlin pulled Shao Bingyi aside and said, "Teacher Shao, you were wrong about this. I think there is nothing wrong with the child. Protecting his mother from being bullied is something every boy should have. You should apologize to Yuling and promise not to do it again."
Shao Bingyi still couldn't save face, and Xie Tiancheng patted him on the shoulder: "What's there to be embarrassed about as a man? Wrong is wrong, right is right. When have you ever seen me fight with my wife?"
Shao Bingyi was almost sober now, and knowing that he was in the wrong, he could only walk up to Liu Yuling and whispered, "Yuling, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hit you..."
"Just an apology is not enough, you have to write a letter of guarantee, otherwise you will drink some cat urine and beat my mom again next time!"
Shao Bingyi was furious at Shao Xingchi's request: "I gave you face, right? Why write a letter of guarantee?"
Shao Xingchi sneered: "See, this is his attitude."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to pull Lucy Liu away: "Mom, let's go. With this one million, we can live wherever we want."
Shao Bingyi immediately stood in front of the two of them and said, "You little bastard, you're not done yet, are you? You really think you have a million. Do you know how many zeros there are in a million?"
"Six zeros."
"What did you say?" Shao Bingyi had been drinking and his mind was not clear for a moment.
"I said one million has six zeros. I counted it eighteen times. Xie Wanghe and Xia Fenghua said I was obsessed with money."
After Shao Xingchi finished speaking, Liang Haihong felt something was even more wrong, and whispered to Xie Tiancheng: "Why do I feel like Xingchi is not lying?"
Xie Tiancheng shook his head for a while: "Don't make a fuss, one million, I have never seen so much money, how can a minor child have so much money?"
Liang Haihong felt that what her husband said made sense, but based on her understanding of Shao Xingchi, she knew that this kid would not joke about such things at this point.
"Wanghe, tell me the truth, is what Xingchi said true?"
Xie Wanghe still wanted to muddle through: "What do you mean, is it true?"
"Don't play dumb with me. Is there really one million in that card?"
"Well..." Xie Wanghe began to avoid looking at his mother.
Liang Haihong was now 60% sure that there was one million in the card, but where did such a huge sum of money come from?
"Did you do something illegal behind our backs?"
Xie Wanghe immediately shook his head when he heard this: "Absolutely not, Mom, I'll explain this to you later, let's deal with the matter at hand first."
On the other side, Liu Yuling broke free from Shao Xingchi's hand: "Xingchi, don't be like this. No matter what, he is your father. Let's solve the problem between your father and me ourselves. You are not yet an adult, and there are some things I can't tell you now. Anyway, I owe him..."
Shao Xingchi looked at his empty palm, his heart filled with strong disappointment and resentment. He threw the bank card to the ground and rushed out before anyone could react.
"Star Pool..."
No matter how Liu Yuling, Xie Wanghe and the others shouted, Shao Xingchi ran forward like a madman and soon disappeared into the night.
For a moment, everyone in the room was stunned, not knowing what to do.
It was old man Zhou Yipu who shouted, "Why are you still standing there? Go find someone. It's dark here. If you fall into the river, you'll be in trouble."
Everyone woke up as if from a dream and went out to look for someone.
Liang Haihong looked at the bank card on the ground, hesitated for a moment, then picked it up and handed it to Liu Yuling: "Keep it and don't lose it."
Lucy Liu didn't even bother to care about the bank card. She just threw it on the table and went out to look for her son.
Ma Siyi was packing clothes for a trip when the window was suddenly pushed open. Without even looking up, Ma Siyi shouted, "Dahuazi, why aren't you sleeping so late?"
Xia Fenghua told Ma Siyi about Shao Xingchi's situation. Only then did Ma Siyi realize the seriousness of the problem and hurriedly followed Xia Fenghua to find someone.
As a result, I walked all the way but didn't see any trace of Shao Xingchi.
The two came to Qin Hao's house, only to find that Qin Hao was not there either. After asking Liang Guixiang, they learned that Shao Xingchi had just gone out with Qin Hao.
"Haozi, what a fool! He didn't even bring Xingchi back home at this late hour. Where did the two of them go?"
Xia Fenghua looked around but couldn't find anyone, and couldn't help but complain.
Ma Siyi suddenly had an idea and pulled Xia Fenghua: "Follow me."
The two of them walked into the alley, and the more Xia Fenghua looked at the place, the more familiar it seemed to him.
"Is this, that black internet cafe?"
Ma Siyi took the lead and walked into the Internet cafe, and sure enough, he saw Qin Hao and Shao Xingchi playing games, still the same legendary game. There were a few empty cans of beer and a few opened packs of snacks on the computer desk.
When Xia Fenghua saw this situation, she was about to settle the score with Shao Xingchi, but was stopped by Ma Siyi.
"Haha, Haozi, you are still the best at using cheats. I'll kill everyone I see."
Seeing this scene, Xia Fenghua's attitude softened, and she and Ma Siyi sat on the empty machine next to them, one on each side.
"Why are you here playing games so late at night without sleeping? Aren't you tired of playing this game yet?"
Shao Xingchi took off his headphones and noticed Xia Fenghua's arrival. Qin Hao also smiled at Ma Siyi.
After a brief silence, Shao Xingchi let out a long sigh.
"Haozi, I just don't understand why I have a million dollars and can give my mother a good life, but she still can't let go of that bastard who beats her when he drinks."
"What's so good about that bastard? He looks like Erlang Shen's Roaring Sky Dog, and he pretends to be so noble all day long. I didn't know that he secretly submitted his work to a magazine, but it was rejected in the end."
"Haozi, you didn't see how ugly his face looked when I said to him: Talented people will never go unappreciated, and infertility will lead to infertility, haha~~~"
Now Qin Hao understood why Shao Bingyi's defense was broken.
Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.
Shao Xingchi was not Shao Bingyi's biological son at all, but a homeless man. Yes, it was so bloody. When she was young, Lucy Liu eloped with her childhood sweetheart and became pregnant with Shao Xingchi. However, she was found by her father and his men, who wanted to take her back. Shao Xingchi's biological father was impulsive and beat up one of Lucy Liu's cousins, and was sentenced to several years in prison.
Lucy Liu was also taken back to her hometown and later married Shao Bingyi. Shao Bingyi also knew that the child Lucy Liu was carrying was not his, but he was probably infertile, so he was willing to take over.
This is also the reason why Lucy Liu has been subjected to domestic violence but is unwilling to divorce.
On the one hand, it was to let Shao Bingyi continue to help her raise her son, and on the other hand, it was out of guilt towards Shao Bingyi.
Xia Fenghua tugged at Shao Xingchi's sleeve and said, "Xingchi, don't say that about your dad. After all, when Uncle Shao doesn't drink, he's still pretty good to you."
"Yeah, even when he's not drinking, he just likes to drink. He gets drunk at least three days out of seven. When he's drunk, he beats my mom." Shao Xingchi also took a big gulp of beer.
"Dahuazi, if your father beat your mother, what would you do?"
"Then I will definitely fight him to the death. My mother suffered so much when she married him. Why did he hit her?"
Shao Xingchi handed Xia Fenghua a can of beer and said, "That's right. I've decided not to travel. Starting tomorrow I'm going to find a boxing gym in the city. I want to learn how to fight. When I come back after I've finished my training, if he dares to hit my mom again, I'll beat him until he cries for his parents!"
"Ah? You're not going?" Xia Fenghua wanted to persuade her, but Ma Siyi shook her head at her.
"I think Xingchi did the right thing. You can travel anytime, but protecting your family should always come first."
After saying that, he turned to Qin Hao and said, "What do you think?"
"Well, if it really doesn't work, we can organize it again during the summer vacation after the college entrance examination." Qin Hao nodded.
Shao Xingchi finally smiled: "I will definitely participate when the time comes."
As soon as he finished speaking, he fell headfirst onto the keyboard. Xia Fenghua reached out to touch his neck. Qin Hao was speechless for a moment: "He's just drunk, not dead. You must have watched too many TV dramas."
Xia Fenghua scratched her head awkwardly: "What should we do now?"
"I'll carry him home first and let him sleep at my house for one night. We can talk about anything after he wakes up tomorrow." Qin Hao said.
Ma Siyi nodded: "Then Dahuazi and I will go back and tell them not to look for it anymore."
"Ah."
When Ma Siyi and Xia Fenghua returned to the courtyard, Liu Yuling was so anxious that she cried. She was relieved when she heard that Shao Xingchi was fine.
Seeing this, Xie Tiancheng told Shao Bingyi: "Teacher Shao, I will let you sleep on the sofa tonight, but you are not allowed to do anything again."
After all this, Shao Bingyi was sober and his face was full of shame.
After Xie Tiancheng returned home, he was about to go to bed, but was stopped by Liang Haihong, who also stopped Xie Wanghe who was about to leave.
"Tell me, what's the matter with Xingchi's one million?"
Xie Wanghe still wanted to fool him: "Maybe Xingchi said that casually when he was angry?"
Xie Tiancheng agreed with this view: "That's right, where would one child get so much money?"
Liang Haihong slammed the table and glared at Xie Wanghe: "Don't try to fool me. Do you think I'm as easy to fool as your father? Look into my eyes and tell the truth!"
Xie Wanghe looked at his mother helplessly, wanting to make up a lie to fool her, but when he met his mother's scrutinizing eyes, he was immediately deflated.
"Mom, please don't push me."
Liang Haihong seemed calm on the surface, but his heart was already in turmoil. Judging from his son's reaction, there was an 80% chance that the one million was real.
"So, there really is one million in Xingchi's card, right?"
Faced with his mother's questioning, Xie Wanghe jumped up and down, and Xie Tiancheng also realized that something was wrong.
"Did you guys do something illegal behind our backs?"
Xie Wanghe quickly held down his father's hand that was whipping the belt: "Hey, what are you thinking? This money is earned from our legal labor."
"In other words, you also have a share in this one million?" Liang Haihong suddenly had an idea.
Xie Tiancheng's eyes also lit up.
As a result, Xie Wanghe shook his head: "No, this one million belongs to Shao Xingchi."
Xie Tiancheng was somewhat disappointed when he heard this, but Liang Haihong caught up with Xie Wanghe's words again: "For this one million, is there another one million?"
Xie Wanghe wanted to slap himself twice, and said with a bitter face: "Mom, if you become a detective, you will definitely be the female version of Sherlock Holmes."
"Stop fooling around and tell the truth." Liang Haihong said unhappily.
Seeing that Xie Wanghe still refused to speak, Liang Haihong immediately gave her husband a look.
Xie Tiancheng understood and immediately tried to pull the belt around his waist.
Xie Wanghe saw that if he didn't confess, he would not be able to escape the beating, so he had no choice but to tell everything.
Liang Haihong and Xie Tiancheng and his wife looked as if they were listening to a foreign language, with faces full of disbelief.
"You mean to say that Haozi made more than six million by helping you guys in the game, and each of you got one million?"
Xie Wanghe uttered a sullen “hmm”.
"You kid, find a credible excuse to fool me. What kind of game can make you earn so much money?"
As a result, Xie Tiancheng didn't believe it at all, so he pulled out his belt and hit Xie Wanghe.
Xie Wanghe was in so much pain that he screamed and dodged: "Dad, what are you doing? I told you the truth, why are you hitting me?"
"Are you telling the truth? You are kidding me. Didn't you say that each of you has one million? Take out your one million! If you do, I will believe you!"
Faced with Xie Tiancheng's relentless approach, Xie Wanghe could only reluctantly go to his room and take out the bank card.
Xie Tiancheng took it and looked at it: "You are not yet 18 years old, where did you get this card?"
"Use your ID card to do it."
"You went to do it?"
"No, I spent fifty dollars and found someone who looked a bit like you to do it. The bank doesn't regulate it very strictly anyway."
"You little brat, you have a lot of tricks up your sleeve."
Liang Haihong glared at her husband and said, "Is this the time to praise him?"
