Translator: Vesper
Qing Huai nodded and waved at them to leave.
After they left, Qing Huai opened the door. When he walked in, he saw Chen Qi lying in bed and thinking about something.
âChen Qi.â
Hearing Qing Huaiâs voice, Chen Qiâs body stiffened and he sat up from the bed. Looking at Qing Huai in front of him, he demanded: âWhat are you here for?â
âWhat am I here for? I just came back from your house.â Qing Huai said gently and sat on the chair opposite Chen Qi.
Chen Qi looked at Qing Huai cautiously: âWhy did you go to my house?â
âWhy? Naturally, I was there to tell them that you will not be going home for a while.â
âYou......You......â
Qing Huai folded his arms and looked at Chen Qiâs impatient look.
âChen Qi, do your family acknowledge your contribution? No, let me phrase it another way. Do they appreciate your kindness towards them?â Qing Huai stared directly at Chen Qiâs eyes and asked coldly.
Chen Qiâs face changed: âThey are my family, they will naturally appreciate it.â
Qing Huai laughed: âYou believe your family that much? Do you know what happened when I went to your house today?â
Chen Qi subconsciously didnât want to listen to Qing Huai, but Qing Huai didnât give him the opportunity. He grabbed his hand and said coldly, âYou are still running away? Chen Qi, I really donât think theyâre all that worth.â
âI ... I donât know what you are talking about?â Chen Qi kept trying to break free of the hand holding his arm.
But Qing Huaiâs hands were like a pair of pliers, he could not break free.
âDonât know. I went to your house today and ended up giving fifty silvers to your mother. Do you know what she told me?â
âI donât want to hear.â
âYou are still deceiving yourself? Their greed has been raised by you. Fifty silvers, the average family can use it for several years or even ten years, but what about them? Not only are they not grateful, but they also talked badly about you, about how useless you were for not being able to provide more money. Chen Qi, what kind of family are they? Arenât they nothing but blood-suckers?â
âEnough, what do you want? What do you want to achieve by telling me all that?â Chen Qi stared at Qing Huai fiercely. Why did he tell him all that?
Qing Huai stood in front of Chen Qi, his lips slightly raised: âIt seems that you already knew that your family only regards you as a tool for making money, but you chose to escape and chose not to believe. Even your wife who sleeps in the same bed doesnât care about you, but the money you can provide. Chen Qi, should I say that you have done very well to fall so deep? â
Chen Qi knew all that. When he first came home with the money, his family would happily prepare good food for him, and would also say some encouraging words.
But when did it start? When did they completely change? No matter how much money they received, they were not satisfied. Like what Qing Huai said, they were blood-suckers that were raised by his own blood and sweat.
Chen Qi did not attract any sympathy from Qing Huai, but instead, he felt that he deserved it.
If Chen Qi had figured it out early and not evaded from it, the result would not be like this. Even if all ties were cut, he could live well by himself, instead of having to support such a big family all by himself.
He worked tirelessly in the workshop, yet those people took his money for granted at home.
âChen Qi, think about it yourself. If at this time, you still think that the relationship with your family members is important, then I am sorry, you can continue to stay like this.â Qing Huai turned and left.
Today he had said enough, and he didnât want to say more. Especially to someone as foolish as Chen Qi.
Chen Qi sat on the bed in a daze, and he didnât look so good. If his chest was not slightly undulating, he might have been mistaken as a dead person.
