C186 (1/2)
The car door opened, and Xiang Qicheng expressionlessly got off the car to enter the villa's gate.
”Young master, you're finally back. The lord has been waiting for you for a long time …” The butler quickly went up to greet him with a smile and put down the pile of junk in his hands.
”Where's my dad?” Xiang Qicheng looked around the hall, but he did not see Xiang Han. The hall was quiet, and he could not help but feel that it was a little strange.
”Oh, the lord went to the courtyard to tend to the flowers. The rain from last night was really heavy. Fortunately, we managed to bring the flowers in in time …” As the butler spoke, he continued to move the miscellaneous items and place them in the cupboard below the stairs. With a raise of his eyes, the hall was completely empty as Xiang Qicheng headed towards the direction of the courtyard.
Xiang Han especially loved flowers. Just the flowers in the courtyard alone, including the Dali flower, lotus peony and other flowers, had cost him a lot of effort. He had even invited famous experts from the city to teach him their skills. Fortunately, these flowers were also trying their best, blooming in the courtyard in all their colors. It was truly a beautiful sight to behold.
Just as he reached the entrance of the courtyard, he heard coughing sounds coming from inside. Xiang Qicheng walked in and sure enough, he bent down to carefully wipe the water droplets on the flowers.
”You're back?” Hearing the sound of footsteps from behind, he knew that Xiang Qicheng had returned. After drying the water droplets on the flowers, he threw the tissue into the barrel and straightened his back, his expression as stern as ever. Even the three short words revealed a sense of majesty.
”Hmm, what's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry over the phone?” He had long gotten used to Xiang Han's strict attitude, and this move had no effect on him either.
Xiang Han waved and walked towards the direction of the hall: ”Follow me.” After saying that, he coughed dryly again. Xiang Qicheng had originally wanted to pat his back, but after raising his hand for a long time, he bitterly and bitterly let it go. He changed it to a short sentence: ”Pay more attention to your body.”
In the Xiang Family, from Xiang Qicheng's memories, he had always been a kind mother and strict father, causing him to have a stern expression on his face for all these years.
When he was young, when he won the competition, his mother would clap and praise him. However, when he raised up the award certificate to Xiang Han in anticipation, most of Xiang Han's response was to say something about not being proud. The more times he tried, the less he expected to be praised by his father, and the more he tried to express his love for him he fell into silence again and again.
”You're still in contact with Chu Yu?” Entering the living room, Xiang Han suddenly asked as he looked at Xiang Qicheng with his sharp eyes.
Back then, Chu Xuan had begged the Xiang Family to let the Chu Family go, but from the looks of it, the matter was not as simple as it seemed.
”What's wrong?” Xiang Qicheng slightly frowned, and did not directly answer.
Ever since the incident of Old Mistress Xiang being pushed down the stairs, he knew that Xiang Han didn't like Chu Yu, especially after Chu Yu lost his voice and had his face disfigured, his position in the Xiang Family had plummeted, and he was even inferior to a servant.
”I'm asking you a question!” Xiang Han's voice suddenly grew louder, and the expression on his face was filled with anger. The originally empty villa instantly became even louder, and the butler, who was tidying up the junk room, trembled in fright upon hearing the voice, then remembered what Xiang Han had told him a few hours ago.
”Look at these photos yourself! ”I think you've forgotten everything you said back then …” Xiang Han threw out a light yellow, opened envelope, and the photo inside also slipped out from the envelope's mouth.
