Ch13 - Hello Uncle (13) — A distance of one bed, perhaps.

But many things are unclear. Just like when Cheng Suqing was preparing to retaliate against Chu Lin, she didn’t know that Chu Lin broke off his ties with his family for her, and even took a break from school to find her after she disappeared, and that he didn’t continue to college either.

The regret of these two young ones broke their hearts. She didn’t know what Chu Lin gave up, and Chu Lin didn’t know what she had experienced. 

The two of them are entangled with each other. Right and wrong are not easy to distinguish, and outsiders cannot intervene.

“Su An,” Cheng Suqing regained her senses, casting away the tears from the corner of her eyes. “You should leave tonight. Don’t stay in Shen house, and you are not allowed to come back later, did you hear that?”

Su An sullenly replied, “Sister, I—”

Cheng Suqing interrupted him, “Shen Zhangxiu is not a good thing. You are already an adult, you have to know how to recognize people. Don’t be fooled by anyone who treats you better, and in the future, whoever speaks, you have to think about whether it is true or not, even what I said. Cheng Su’an, your sister has been confused all her life, and if you get deceived by a man again, I’ll strangle you.” 

The more Cheng Suqing acted like this, the more Su An felt it unbearable, “Sister, do you know why Special Assistant Chu was taken away?”

“It’s all you good brother-in-law’s doing,” Cheng Suqing sneered, “Chu Lin has Shen Zhangxiu’s weakness. He originally wanted to use this weakness to threaten…who knows…”

She clenched her fists and tried her best to calm down, “You don’t need to care about him, how he is now have nothing to do with us. Su An, you must leave here tonight, before Shen Zhangxiu comes back.”

“…” Su An said, “Then, you…”

Cheng Suqing said: “I will be fine.”

But in fact, both people know that Cheng Suqing’s situation is not very safe.

Only half an hour had passed, and Cheng Suqing was already urging Su An to leave, Su An nodded obediently, then he bent down worriedly, and asked in Cheng Suqing’s ear: “Sister, you don’t look very good, are you sick?”

Cheng Suqing’s mouth twitched slightly, and suddenly took Su An’s hand and placed it on her lower abdomen. 

Su An was puzzled, Cheng Suqing said in a low voice, “It’s not that I’m sick, it’s that I got a small gift.”

“It’s just that this kid will have no father again.”

…

After Su An came out of Cheng Suqing’s door, he stood lightly at the top of the stairs and looked down. The servants were coming and going downstairs, but it was still early, and Shen Zhangxiu had yet to return. 

He breathed a sigh of relief, then he went downstairs and walked to the door, but Steward Zhao really stopped him, wondering, “Young master?”

Su An buried his head and went outside. His foot just stepped outside of the Shen house’s door, when a roar of cars came outside. Shen Zhangxiu’s luxury car had already arrived.

Su An was stunned. He couldn’t believe that his luck could be so bad.

The driver got out of the car and pulled the door of the back seat. A pair of brand-new leather shoes stepped on the ground, and Shen Zhangxiu got out of the car wearing a pair of anti-blue light glasses. Today, he wore a silver suit printed with water patterns, and the tailored three-piece suit was perfectly straight and very outstanding. 

Shen Zhangxiu approached him and smiled: “An-An is back?”

Su An lowered his head and said with a voice like a mosquito: “Brother-in-law.”

The white sneakers retreated nervously, one step away from the black leather shoes.

Shen Zhangxiu’s already good mood became more and more pleasant, he chuckled twice in a low voice, “Where did An-An run off to these days?” 

Su An: “Brother-in-law, I’m going out to work.”

Working in He Xiran’s home.

He coughed his throat and took initiative: “Brother-in-law, I have work this afternoon and would like to go first.”

“Have An-An seen your sister?” Shen Zhangxiu was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked.

The man was changing the subject, making it clear that he didn’t want Su An to step out of this door. Su An cursed in his heart, now he was even more convinced that Shen Zhangxiu was Chu He.

“I’ve seen her,” Su An said vaguely, “My sister is very tired and just fell asleep.” 

He was reluctant to give up, “Brother-in-law, this job—”

“Brother-in-law knows that An-An likes this job very much,” Shen Zhangxiu lowered his head slightly, then used his elder’s attitude to persuade him with care, “But learning is more important than work. An-An is now in a critical period. What would you do with your studies if your free time is taken up by work?”

Su An made a face as if he was convinced, “Well, brother-in-law is right. Tomorrow is Monday, and I will not go to work today. I will go back and finish the homework that I have to hand in the school tomorrow.”

Shen Zhangxiu said: “There is no hurry, has An-An eaten yet, do you want to accompany your brother-in-law for a meal?” 

The servants of the Shen family delivered meals upon hearing the sound, and the table was filled with rich dishes. Su An was stuffed with a bowl of rice without even having the opportunity to refuse, “…”

He took a bite to rest, and he was so reluctant that two words were barely formed and smashed on the dining table.

He’s so obvious, and of course, Shen Zhangxiu would not just ignore it, “Is An-An not happy?”

“Brother-in-law, my homework is not here,” Su An sulked, “I want to go back and take my homework.” 

Shen Zhangxiu laughed twice, then crossed his arms to support his lower jaw, “You don’t have to take your homework.”

Su An was puzzled: “Huh?”

“Brother-in-law will hire a specialized teaching team for An-An,” Shen Zhangxiu mentioned it casually. “They will provide you with the best guidance, and An-An doesn’t even need to go to school until the college entrance examination.”

With a “click”, Su An’s chopsticks fell to the ground. 

Su An bent over and picked it up. He was frowning tightly, and the displeasure was clearly written on his face, then he whispered: “I don’t want it.”

Shen Zhangxiu: “Be good.” 

Cheng Su’an was silent for a while, his eyes slowly reddened. Shen Zhangxiu then put away his smile. He got up and walked to Cheng Su’an side, then wrapped his arms around him, almost putting Su An in his embrace, and coaxed him gently with his soft voice, “Don’t like studying at home?”

The child in his arms was silent, and the hand holding the chopsticks trembled with anger.

“I have a bad temper,” Shen Zhangxiu snorted. He took the dirty chopsticks from him and put them on the table. “An-An will take the tutor’s class for two days first, and if you still don’t like it, brother-in-law will think of something else, okay?”

Su An’s voice was a little choked, “I’m going to school.” 

“Good, go to school,” Shen Zhangxiu said in a good tone, “Do not cry, brother-in-law feels distressed.”

Su An sniffed, he was not willing to shed a drop of tears, “Really?”

Shen Zhangxiu glanced at Steward Zhao, and Steward Zhao stepped forward and persuaded: “Young master, sir, it is also for your own good. The school has too many students, and the teacher inevitably lacks sufficient energy, but hiring a professional team of teachers is different, you do not have to rush to refuse, why not see the results first.”

“The housekeeper is right,” Shen Changxiu’s low voice eased, “Brother-in-law forgot to mention that your sister also wants you to take lessons at home. How good is it to be at home? If we can see you all that time, your sister will also feel relieved.” 

Fu*ck you.

Su An buried his head down. Fortunately, only thunder was heard but there was no rain, otherwise, he would have wasted two tears.

Shen Zhangxiu, you are really shameless. 

As soon as the shameless Shen Zhangxiu raised the three words, “your sister“, Su An had to hold back crying, and he stopped talking. When he didn’t speak, only the sound of Shen Zhangxiu’s lowering his head and his soft voice coaxing him to raise his head remains. The servants of the whole villa watched this scene and silently closed their mouths.

“All right,” Su An compromised, “But if I don’t like it, I still want to go to school.”

Shen Zhangxiu’s warm voice sounded: “Good.”

Su An hurried back several steps, pretending to wipe his tears, and acting like a baby with a strong nasal voice, “Brother-in-law, you have to agree to one thing with me. I want to call the boss to resign.” 

Shen Changshu hesitated for a moment, but he still smiled: “Go, brother-in-law will accompany you.”

Su An took out his cell phone and dialed He Xiran’s number.

He knew in his heart that this was his last chance, and if he really lived in Shen house today, he would never have a chance to go out again in the future. If he stays in Shen house, he will only be swallowed in Shen Zhangxiu’s belly. This man even put his hand on his ex-wife and his subordinates, and Su An won’t be able to withstand his power again.

Most importantly, Shen Zhangxiu was giving Su An a feeling that he was slowly releasing his arrogance, and this made Su An almost certain that the soul under his skin had become Chu He. 

He would not let Chu He succeed even in death.

The phone let out a sound of “beep, beep”. Su An was anxious, and he was praying silently, you have to pick it up, ah.

The heavens did not disappoint him. Thirty seconds later, the phone vibrated and a cold voice came from the opposite side, “Hey.”

“Boss,” Su An squeezed his hand, hinting frantically, “There’s something I want to talk to you about.” 

He Xiran paused, and keenly asked: “Is there anyone by your side?”

“Yes, I’m going to be late today,” Then he apologized distressingly, “I’m sorry boss, I’m quitting.”

He Xiran’s breathing was calm, and it’s extremely capable of calming people down, “Where are you.”

“My family asked me to study hard,” Su An glanced at Shen Zhangxiu next to him and smiled at him. “It’s not a good time for work now. My brother-in-law is worried about me.” 

“Shen house,” He Xiran said, “I got it.”

Su An raised the corner of his mouth, “Thank you boss!”

“Su An, you should remember what I said before,” He Xiran did not respond to this thank you, and his tone also did not fluctuate, “I told you that cooperation can only exist when both parties can benefit from it.”

His fists hardened, but Su An still maintained his smile, “Boss, there is no need to withhold the previous salary, right? I have worked very hard every day to accomplish every single quota.” 

There was a clear and cold mechanical sound from a lighter on the other side, “Same exchange, if you want me to take you away, and if you want me to rescue Chu Lin, you must give me other things.”

Su An asked cautiously: “How much does the boss want to deduct me?”

The other side was silent for a while, and He Xiran chuckled with a hint of smoke in his low voice, “What do you mean.”

Su An can almost imagine him smoking a cigarette, slightly hooking the corner of his mouth behind the thick smoke. 

The ear that answered the phone began to heat up, and the tip of his nose seemed to have smell the strong smell of nicotine. Su An rubbed his red ears and hesitated, not knowing whether to agree or not.

From the corner of his eyes, he looked to the side. Shen Zhangxiu had been somewhat suspicious, and he was squinting as he observed his expression.

“Deduct it.” Su An gritted his teeth and simply said, “I agree.” Dog man, smelly uncle.

He Xiran said: “Give the phone to Shen Zhangxiu.” 

Su An hesitated and handed the phone to Shen Zhangxiu, “Brother-in-law, the boss said he wants to talk to you.”

Shen Zhangxiu looked at him with a smile but not a smile, but after a few seconds before answering the call, his etiquette was perfect and he said: “Hello.”

He didn’t know what He Xiran said, but in just ten seconds, Shen Zhangxiu’s face gradually sank. The cold light in those glasses obscured his original tenderness and consideration, leaving only the coldness, like a poisonous snake.

The call was over in less than a minute. Shen Zhangxiu looked at the phone blankly, and Steward Zhao behind him asked with concern: “Sir?” 

“Prepare the car,” Shen Zhangxiu said coldly, “Send the young master out.”

Steward Zhao responded in surprise.

Su An blinked and couldn’t believe that the matter was solved in this way. He immediately felt at loss, he shouldn’t have simply agreed to He Xiran’s blackmail just now.

When the housekeeper was preparing the car, Shen Zhangxiu came over. He smiled at him again, but his eyes were deeply depressed, and he handed the phone to Su An, “An-An, don’t forget to go home after playing enough outside.” 

Su An nodded slightly.

“Brother-in-law already told you that He Xiran is a lunatic,” Shen Zhangxiu pursed his mouth, “If he gets sick, what will you do.”

“Brother-in-law, I will keep a distance from him,” Su An said, perhaps, it’s only one bed away. Unless He Xiran really has an indifferent personality. “If there is danger, I will call brother-in-law.”

Shen Zhangxiu nodded in satisfaction, and said, “Go.” 

Su An got his wish and got in the car that left the Shen house. He looked back at the third floor of the Shen’s villa and thought to himself. If He Xiran could suppress Shen Zhangxiu with a few words, what kind of identity does he have besides being a painter?

If he asks He Xiran to take Cheng Suqing away, can He Xiran do it, and he…what will he pay for it?
