withdrawal preference

"Do you believe this yourself? I've been invited so many times, and I'm finally willing to show up." Qi Liancheng curled his lips with a little dissatisfaction.

"You can't say that, you are biased." The housekeeper laughed dryly and comforted: "When you were sick, didn't the young master care about you? He came back to see you for several days. Even the family doctor is carefully selected by the young master."

"He's afraid of losing his tongue! I'm not Gu Shumo, how could he really care about me?" Qi Liancheng sneered, put his hand close to the stove to warm it, and raised his eyes to look at the housekeeper: "Just tell me, isn't it this?" reason?"

This is how the housekeeper answers, and no matter how he answers, it seems to be wrong.

The butler laughed dryly and said, Grandpa, if you want something to eat, I'll get it for you.

Qi Liancheng pondered for a moment, then said: "Take some mille-feuille cake, the kind sprinkled with sweet-scented osmanthus."

It was difficult and awkward to say.

The housekeeper smiled immediately, and said, "Understood, I'm going to prepare now."

When Qi Yuli arrived, Qi Liancheng was enjoying the snow and drinking tea while eating osmanthus cake.

He glanced at Qi Yuli from the corner of his eye, and said lightly, "Sit down."

The fire was scorchingly hot, and the light from the fire fell on the man's flawless and gentle face, which was beautiful.

Qi Liancheng took a look at Qi Yuli and smiled: "Looking at it this way, he still looks a lot like your dad."

Qi Yuli's brows and eyes were moody, looking at Qi Liancheng who was sitting on the Eight Immortals Chair through the small pear-blossom wooden table and the heater, "Did you come to me for the funeral of your father and mother? I may not have much time, so there is nothing I can do." Be there, but I will do whatever you need."

"I can handle this matter by myself. I don't expect you to handle it. I just think that it will be fine when you come! Don't worry, I will do my best for my own son and daughter-in-law."

Qi Liancheng frowned, and looked at Qi Yuli with some dissatisfaction: "Why are you talking to me so businesslike, kid? It's been so many years, and I haven't seen you look like a child in front of me!"

"It's my fault." Qi Yuli's gentle voice made Qi Liancheng hit a soft nail.

Qi Liancheng felt that the layer cake in his mouth suddenly tasted very tasteless.

He pushed the mille-feuille cake on the table in front of Qi Yuli, and said coldly, "Eat something before you talk. There are too many cakes, and I can't finish them all by myself."

Qi Yuli glanced at the neatly stacked mille-feuille cakes, tasted a piece without saying anything.

There was more satisfaction in Qi Liancheng's eyes, and his voice softened: "Let me ask you, why haven't you come to your parents' memorial days all these years?"

Qi Yuli ate another piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake calmly, and said calmly, "It's nothing, I'm too busy, I can't get away."

"Who are you fooling around by saying that!" Qi Liancheng was a little annoyed, Qi Yuli's reckless appearance really came out of the same mold as his father!
Qi Liancheng said coldly: "I don't care, you are about to start a family now, take care of your own affairs, I will send someone to pick you up in a few days, you must come and participate!"

Qi Yuli took a sip of tea, his expression remained unchanged, and said indifferently, "What's the point of embarrassing me like this?"

"It's you who are embarrassing me!" Qi Liancheng's face turned pale, and he coughed forcefully a few times: "Your parents will not rest in peace with you!"

"Your words are a bit serious." Qi Yuli looked at Qi Liancheng, as if he was an outsider, and calmly analyzed: "No matter how miserable I am, in the end, I am still my parents' flesh and blood. As long as I live in peace, their spirits in the sky should It’s just gratifying.”

"You're disobeying me on purpose!" Qi Liancheng saw it, widened his eyes, nodded and said, "Qi Yuli, you just blame me for sending you to Gu's house? Right? But don't even think about it, if you didn't go Gu family, how can you sit as the head of the Qi and Gu family!"

Qi Yuli saw that Qi Liancheng's face turned red, because he was very angry with himself.

He withdrew his gaze and said softly, "I wanted to worship my parents when I was young. You said that since I have been taken in by the Gu family, I don't need to come back to worship. After all these years, I finally accepted this result , you are thinking of me again now, Grandpa, are you a little too inconsiderate of me? They are all flesh and blood, and cannot bear such ups and downs. "

There was nothing to say for a while, the raging wind and snow poured in, and the so-called warmth was blown away.

Qi Liancheng looked at Qi Yuli with complicated eyes, "Why did Gu Shumo teach you to be like this? Qi Yuli, how can you be so cold-blooded? These are your parents, you and I are angry, and you don't even want to go to their worship?"

"No one stipulates that worship must be on the death day. I don't want to go now, but I don't want to go. As for the usual time, if I have time, I always go." Qi Yuli said lightly, got up, and said: "Grandpa, you should go sooner." Rest, next time you come to me, please don't say that you are not feeling well, you are old, some words should be taboo."

Qi Lian Chengqi didn't fight anywhere, and there was an indescribable aggrieved feeling raging in his chest.

His breathing gradually became heavier, and he looked at Qi Yuli coldly without saying a word.

The moment Qi Yuli stepped out of the snow-appreciating front hall, he heard the sound of dishes breaking.

But it's just a step.

Some old memories suddenly flooded into my mind.

It's about my former self.

It was a week after the death of my parents, and my young self lay on Gu Shumo's lap, crying and saying, "Grandpa, why...why didn't grandpa let me go to the funeral of mom and dad?"'

Gu Shumo's expression was also very difficult, looking at the child crying pitifully on his lap, he sighed and said, "Yu Li, it doesn't matter whether you go or not, Mom and Dad know that you are doing well in heaven, that's enough .”

"But." Qi Yuli blinked, with a soft and cute little bun face, long and dense eyelashes, eyes stained with moisture, like grapes, prettier than girls, he said: "Grandpa, but I Miss mom and dad, I want to see them."

Gu Shumo's eyes were also red, he picked him up, took the photo from the housekeeper, unfolded it, and showed it to him: "Look, Yuli, this is a photo taken by mom and dad before, grandpa has a lot of photos here , if Yuli misses her parents, just look at the photos, okay?"

The little child shrugged his shoulders from crying, sitting in Gu Shumo's arms, sniffing and looking at the photos.

Afterwards, Qi Liancheng did not let go, and never let the members of the Gu family show up on the festival day.Among them, of course, also included Qi Yuli who had been adopted by Gu Shumo.

In the first few years, Qi Yuli would still make trouble, and would pester Gu Shumo to ask why he couldn't go.
