Chi Qiu’s biological father did not marry Chi Lanyan, and his unannounced departure made Chi Lanyan very sad. The residual warmth after the passionate love was still strong, so that the then young Chi Lanyan could not abort the child in her belly, which led to the birth of Chi Qiu.

It was the first time that Lu Ming heard Chi Qiu mention his biological father, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be the first time he stayed for such a long time after entering Chi Qiu’s bedroom.

The desk in front of him was neat and tidy, and the things on the table were similar to those of middle school students. The only difference was that the textbooks on other people’s desks were all printed texts, while the ones on Chi Qiu’s desk were Braille textbooks.

Lu Ming closed the book in his hand, he did not have any feelings about the story.

Perhaps because it was only a fairy tale, Lu Ming did not have much to say about what the protagonist in the story had experienced.

Facing Chi Qiu’s expectant expression, he briefly organized the language in his head and praised Chi Qiu.

His tone was flat that if these words had been spoken by someone else, they would have been taken as perfunctory by Chi Qiu. But Lu Ming was already emotionally challenged, and his indifference became the norm in their daily communication.

Chi Qiu listened carefully to Lu Ming’s praise for the story, and pursed the corners of his mouth happily.

Dinner was still eaten at Chi’s house. At the dining table, Chi Lanyan deliberately reduced the number of times she served Chi Qiu. Then, as she wished, she saw Lu Ming’s habitual care for Chi Qiu.

As far as she was concerned, when Lu Ming’s emotional indifference would be cured was no longer an urgent matter. Since Chi Qiu liked Lu Ming wholeheartedly and wanted to be with Lu Ming, then as long as Lu Ming could be good to Chi Qiu and could take care of Chi Qiu, she had nothing to worry about.

In the end, Chi Qiu couldn’t see. This indifference on the face due to his apathy wouldn’t pierce Chi Qiu’s heart.

Chi Lanyan’s tone towards Lu Ming was much better, and then she talked about some company affairs.

As an elder, Chi Lanyan had been managing the company alone for so long, so she was quite experienced. She gave Lu Ming some casual advice, all of which benefited Lu Ming greatly.

Before leaving, she prepared some jasmine tea at home for them to bring home.

“In the future, if you fall and hurt yourself, you have to talk to mom, okay?” Chi Lanyan remembered the scars on Chi Qiu’s hands. After saying this twice in a row, she touched Chi Qiu’s ears, knowing her son was sensible, “You, ah, come back when you want to come home. No need to worry about anything, this is your home.”

“Got it, Mom.”

The distance between the Lu family villa and the Chi family was not a short one. The two families were on opposite sides of the city, and it took an hour and a half just for the drive.

Lu Ming took the jasmine tea in Chi Lanyan’s hand and said politely, “Mom, you can come and sit with us when you have time.”

“Okay. Lu Ming, drive slowly, pay attention to safety.” Chi Lanyan smiled. Seeing that it was getting late, she reluctantly ‘drove them off’.

She turned around and opened the door, and met Lin Yuming who had just returned home.

Lu Ming, as the younger one, was the first to greet him. Lin Yuming gave a slight nod, shifted his gaze, and nonchalantly returned, “Hello.”

Lu Ming was not surprised by the other party’s attitude in the slightest as he led Chi Qiu to the car. When he was about to leave the villa, he heard Chi Qiu say, “I forgot to tell Mom about meeting Auntie Luo, she contacted me a few days ago and said that she would like to invite me to dinner with my mother the day after tomorrow. Lu Ming, wait for me.”

Chi Qiu got out of the car with his guide cane, and Lu Ming followed closely behind, holding Chi Qiu’s hand: “Be careful, I’ll accompany you there.”

“En!” Chi Qiu’s tone was pleasant.

Today Chi Lanyan’s change of heart towards Lu Ming had already made Chi Qiu happy, and now that he was facing Lu Ming’s thoughtfulness, Chi Qiu was even happier.

As a result, when he went to the door, Lin Yuming’s loud and disgusting words slammed into Chi Qiu’s ears, and also made Lu Ming stop.

In a panic, Chi Qiu almost forgot that he was pretending to be blind; he stumbled and grabbed Lu Ming’s arm, pulling him out and walking a few steps.

And the guide cane in his hand fell to the ground with a clear, crisp sound.

A few minutes ago, inside the house.

Chi Lanyan sat on the sofa with a sullen face as she said coldly, “I don’t care what you want to do normally. But today is the day Xiao Qiu and Lu Ming came back together for dinner, what do you mean by leaving a seat at the table missing?”

“Chi Qiu is not my son, I have no obligation to act as his father. It’s not the first day the young master of the Lu family knows him. Who doesn’t know that I’m Chi Qiu’s stepfather.”

If it was Chi Xia who came back for dinner today, Lin Yuming would not be like this.

Just as back then when he would rather ask Chi Qiu to buy ice cream, than rest assured that Chi Xia would stay in the coffee shop and wait for him, his selfish mentality was exposed.

Lin Yuming went out of his way and laughed sarcastically. “You ah, if you want to get Chi Qiu a complete family, why not go to his real father back? Oh——I see, it’s not that you don’t want to find him, it’s that he doesn’t want to contact you at all, so you found me, someone who looks similar to him, to deceive yourself, right?”

These words almost touched Chi Lanyan’s sore spot, she stood up abruptly: “Lin Yuming!”

Chi Lanyan gritted her teeth and swallowed her breath slowly.

Her two relationships were not smooth; her first love ruthlessly abandoned her, and her husband was selfish and alienated from her. Outsiders say that she was cruel, eccentric, and didn’t know how to handle housework, so the Chi family was in a mess. But only Chi Lanyan knew in her heart that if she hadn’t been soft-hearted towards her family, the Chi family wouldn’t have turned into such a bad look today.

She looked at Lin Yuming, really couldn’t stand him for a minute.

Lin Yuming, on the other hand, raised his eyes and looked at her indifferently.

At the beginning, Chi Xia pressed them to death and did not want them to divorce. And Lin Yuming’s position at the school still needed the care of the Chi family, so he had to show weakness in compromise and humble apologies after losing his wits and rage.

Taking advantage of his daughter’s injury, he begged Chi Lanyan not to divorce, but he always cared about Chi Lanyan’s partiality.

But Chi Qiu and Chi Xia were both flesh that fell off Chi Lanyan’s body, so how could she be partial?

She wanted to change the heir to Chi Qiu because Chi Qiu was more talented than Chi Xia in this area. She was not trying to leave Chi Xia aside; she was ready to give Chi Xia something, no less than what she wanted to give to Chi Qiu.

Who knew that Lin Yuming’s intense emotions would make a simple matter worse, not only provoking the relationship between Chi Xia and Chi Qiu, but also forcing her emotions to the breaking point.

Today, Lin Yuming destroyed the bridge after crossing the river.

He glanced at Chi Lanyan, and he was already prepared. He put the car key in his hand on the table freely: “I’ll return the car to you. From tomorrow, until Xiao Xia returns home, I will live in the school’s dormitory.”

“…Xiao Xia said she is willing to come back?”

Almost all of Chi Lanyan’s focus fell on her daughter at once.

Lin Yuming was too lazy to talk to her, let alone tell her about his daughter. He only said, “I’m not here, it doesn’t matter how many times Chi Qiu wants to bring Lu Ming back.” He clearly did not want to help Chi Lanyan lie, but also clearly did not want to have too much contact with Chi Qiu and Lu Ming.

His principle was that if you couldn’t afford to offend, you could only hide.

Today’s Lin Yuming talked too much, which made Chi Lanyan’s brain buzzing.

Chi Lanyan couldn’t help but say: “Xiao Xia has grown up. Now I want to divorce you. Not only this car, but everything on you must be returned.”

Lin Yuming didn’t panic at all, he broke the jar and smashed: “Yes ah, Xiaoxia has grown up, but Chi Qiu’s eyes are still not good. You can only wait for Xiao Xia to come back to take over your family business. Lanyan, I don’t care if you divorce me now, I am Xiao Xia’s real father; my own daughter, how could she not care about me?”

Chi Lanyan did not expect Lin Yuming to be so blunt. She was so angry that her neck turned red.

The conflict between husband and wife was a broken abyss; it had been bad for many years, and had long lost the warmth and affection of the first meeting. Now, all that remained was mutual hatred.

Chi Lanyan snapped: “Lin Yuming, what do you mean, I gave you a face, didn’t I?!”

“Why don’t you say that your gay son found a man back to give you a face?” The nearly fifty-year-old Lin Yuming had lost his gentle and elegant manner of the past. He looked at Chi Lanyan, who was also entering middle age, and his eyes were filled with indifference, like looking at an enemy.

He opened his mouth, every word was unbearable, and his external image was completely different: “For the money of the Lu family, you don’t want your face! Can’t you see that Lu Ming has the same businessman’s expression as you? He doesn’t like Chi Qiu at all, he doesn’t like your precious son that you hold dear to your heart. What kind of drama are you doing, why should I accompany you in your drama?”

“Snapped——”

Chi Lanyan waved her hand and slapped him, abruptly interrupting Lin Yuming’s words.

Along with the slap, there was the sound of the guide cane hitting the ground outside the door.

Perhaps it was because Chi Lanyan was too agitated, but she didn’t notice any movement outside the door at all. She was shaking, her eyes were slightly red, and she grasped the clothes with one hand. His feet were unstable.

Auntie Su hurriedly broke the fight, and helped Ji Lanyan to sit down again with her support: “Mr. Lin, please stop talking! Mrs. Chi is too anxious, her health has not been very well recently. The doctor said to be less upset! It’s not that you don’t know…”

Before Auntie Su finished, Lin Yuming disdainfully grunted and went to the guest room where he always lived.
