Dragon Clan: No one wants me, Lu Mingfei.

Chapter 454 From today on, I am your creditor
"This story starts from the year Zihang was born."

Chu Tianjiao saw that Su Xiaoyan's mood suddenly calmed down, and he also knew that it was because of his momentary speechlessness that the gradually warming air cooled down again, so he sighed silently in his heart:
"I made a lot of money in Europe and the United States, and I didn't spend lavishly on daily expenses, so I had enough savings after returning to China.

Originally, I was planning to ask a friend to invest this money, and keep some for myself to drink and buy cigarettes.

But then I met you and had Zihang, and it just so happened that there was a financial crisis in Europe and there were some signs of it in Asia, so I thought about saving all my money in case of any unexpected events in the future."

Su Xiaoyan also had some impression of this. The dance troupe had considered whether to perform abroad, but they did not go because of this incident.

I just didn't expect this man to actually...

Hiding some secret money behind our two mothers’ backs?

She really wanted to ask, if she was so rich, why did she have to borrow money from her parents when she gave birth to her child, but now their relationship was no longer close, and asking this question would only increase the embarrassment.

Sensing the murderous intent in his ex-wife's eyes, Chu Tianjiao knew that he was in the wrong to hide his little stash of money and pretend to be poor, so he could only quickly skim through this paragraph:
“Although I’m not very good at financial management, I know that putting money in the bank to earn interest will not increase in value, so I thought about whether I could find a potential company in China to invest in.

I waited for several years but didn't get the right opportunity. Later, by coincidence, I met Lao Lu.

At that time, his company was on the verge of bankruptcy, his wife was seeking a divorce, and his competitors wanted to kill him.

I thought he was a good guy but just had bad luck, so I rescued him."

Hearing this, Su Xiaoyan frowned slightly. She had never heard Lu Tianming say that the company had gone bankrupt. It turned out that these two people had been hooking up long before her divorce.

So, the failed ending of her marriage to him was also deliberately caused by him?

Chu Tianjiao did not notice the coldness on the woman's face, and continued to talk about his amazing operation back then:

“When I was in Europe and America, I accumulated a lot of connections. Although I couldn’t contact many of them after the mission, I could still get some information, especially in the business field.

With this first-hand information, my savings, and the evidence of corruption, bribery and gangsterism I picked up on the road, Lao Lu fought a great turnaround. "

Su Xiaoyan heard it and remembered it in her heart. Seeing the smug look on the man's face, she narrowed her beautiful eyes and moved her pink lips slightly: "Then what? Why did you hide it from me and Zihang?"

Because my mother and I are ordinary people, and are a burden to you in saving the world?

Or is it that as a superhero, he is tired of the stable life with a wife, children and a warm bed, and wants to return to the real world full of dangers?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but clench her fists, and the little man in her heart who was responsible for whipping the corpse whipped even harder, and the whip almost made a sound of breaking through the air.

No one knows Su Xiaoyan better than Chu. As a scumbag who plays with women's feelings, Chu Tianjiao knows Su Xiaoyan's character very well and knows that she is probably thinking about something wrong again.

Worried that she would not be able to get out, he quickly explained:
“You also know that saving the world sounds very noble and righteous, but in fact it is often accompanied by extremely high risks. At the very least, you will die, or at the worst, your entire family will be sacrificed.

I sensed the danger approaching at first, and thought that with Xia Di standing in front to attract fire, the danger would not target me.

But who knew he would suddenly quit his job and go to college."

Chu Tianjiao was quite helpless when he said this. He wanted to curse, but subordinates were not allowed to talk back to their superiors. He wanted to punch him, but he would just be pinned to the ground and beaten.

Su Xiaoyan was even more confused. Why was Xia Di everywhere? Wasn't his presence too strong? Even her divorce was influenced by him.

"My enemies are not humans. They are extremely cold-blooded and powerful monsters. Once I am exposed, you and Zihang will also be implicated and become their targets of attack." Chu Tianjiao said, and his hand subconsciously wanted to reach into his pocket for a cigarette, but he quickly stopped.

"So, you mean to say that you divorced in order to protect us mother and daughter?" Su Xiaoyan looked straight at the man opposite her. After many years, she once again looked into those deep eyes that made her heart beat fast countless times.

Chu Tianjiao has a pair of eyes that can speak, but unfortunately, they tell only lies. Su Xiaoyan doesn’t even know whether his love for her and her children is also mixed with countless lies.

"Because you wanted to protect us, you let us down time and time again, and pushed us past our limits time and time again. Let me see how rotten you are, let me completely give up on you, and take the initiative to file for divorce?"

Anger did not make her words full of gunpowder. Instead, they became colder and colder, just like her eyes that were always full of optimism, without a trace of warmth.

"I..." Chu Tianjiao opened his mouth to explain, but was interrupted by her follow-up question:

"Since you knew that you could put the people around you in danger at any time, why didn't you take the initiative to confess and propose a breakup?

Is it because your mission is more important than mine and Zihang’s?

Then why did he show up at the door of the dance troupe, why did he come to pick me up from get off work every day and show me his affection, why did he trick me into marrying him with a future that didn't even exist?
Is it because of your lurking mission or simply to satisfy your physiological needs?
Because you are a high-ranking person with special powers, you look down on ordinary people. Even if the mission you are carrying out does not allow you to be too high-profile, you still have to find a woman who can match your noble status?
When you get tired of playing and tired of life, you kick her and the child away on the pretext of completing your task?

Oh, you changed your face without pulling up your pants.

You also handed your wife and children over to your good brother to take care of, and asked me to call him husband and your children to call him dad.

Then you look at our happy family and feel moved at yourself and say that you have planned a bright future for us.

Yeah? "

Instead of yelling and shouting, Su Xiaoyan just looked at the man quietly, her expression and voice revealing a frightening calmness.

Even the calico cat that was protesting just now was now curled up on the sofa, with its ears pressed against its big furry head, as if it didn't dare to eavesdrop on the conversation between the adults.

Chu Tianjiao felt a pain in his heart as he looked at the woman who was trying to remain calm but had a faint blush on her eyes and nose.

He wanted to refute and explain.

But every word she said made sense, and every word hit his sore spot.

If he died the day after his divorce, he would undoubtedly be the best man and the best father in the world.

But he didn't. After giving his wife and children away, he continued to live on.

I console myself with words like "The mark of an immature man is that he is willing to die heroically for a cause, and the mark of a mature man is that he is willing to live humbly for a cause."

Everything he did was worth it.

At this moment, the handsome face of this top mixed-race person in the world suddenly looked much older, his straight back was inexplicably hunched, and he looked much more depressed.

The man pulled his thin lips into a reluctant arc and said with a wry smile: "In fact, it seems to be true..."

At work, as an executive with a top-secret mission, his lust for beauty adds complexity to the mission.

In love, he relied on unrealistic bragging to win the woman's heart and deceived her feelings from beginning to end.

In his daily life, he had a huge amount of money but never used it to subsidize the family. He received a meager salary and did not strive for progress. He also needed his wife to save money to buy cosmetics and new clothes to subsidize the family.

When it comes to marriage and family, he behaves like a piece of stinky dog ​​shit. I wonder how much virtue he must have accumulated in his previous life to have Su Xiaoyan, such a beautiful flower, so devoted to him and to have half of his blood flowing in Chu Zihang's body.

It was this look of self-admitted fault that made the mist in Su Xiaoyan's eyes condense into tears, sliding down her soft cheeks.

Chu Tianjiao stood there, facing his beloved woman with a cold face and silent tears.

He wanted to reach out and wipe away her tears, but his feet seemed to be rooted to the ground, as heavy as a thousand pounds.

With a sneer, he said self-deprecatingly: "The department I work in has a rule that couples or husbands and wives are not allowed to go on missions at the same time.

At that time, I felt that this rule was entirely used to restrain those mentally weak boys and girls. A truly strong person would not lose his rationality because of his emotions and do things that are not conducive to the execution of the mission.

During those years in Europe and America, I firmly believed that all love at first sight was just based on lust, until I returned to China and saw you. "

His deceptive eyes looked at the beautiful woman who was silently crying, as if there were stars shining with the light of sincerity:

“I remember it very clearly, that day the leader came with the senior leader to inspect the work, and at the end of the inspection, they stopped by to watch the dance troupe’s performance.

At that time, I was responsible for accompanying the leader and saying nice things, flattering him all the way. I was so thirsty from all the nice things he said that I just wanted to have a drink of water and take a break while the leader was watching the performance.

But I just unscrewed the bottle cap and wanted to drink water, and you appeared. "

A look of reminiscence emerged on the man's face: "I remember the dance drama that day was "Silk Road Flower Rain", and the way you acted like Yue Tian, ​​a pipa player, while dancing was just like a flying fairy from the Dunhuang murals.

Until you finished that dance, I didn't even drink a sip of the water in my hand.

At that moment, I decided on you and swore in my heart that I would marry you in this life." His eyes gradually became gentle, full of love without any falsehood: "When I picked you up and dropped you off at get off work, I was always struggling with whether I should just end the undercover mission and let those foreigners pick someone else to carry out the mission.

Human technology is so advanced that even if something that can destroy the world really appears, it will be destroyed on the spot by an atomic bomb.

So, in the midst of struggle, we came together and had the fruit of our love. I gradually sank into the sweetness of love and marriage and for a while forgot about the mission.

Anyway, there is no one supervising, no one knows, and even potential enemies have not appeared.

But when Zihang called out the word "Dad" for the first time, I was happy but also began to feel boundless fear.

If the world really comes to an end because of my negligence and puts you and your son in danger, I can't imagine what crazy actions I would take.

From then on, I began to fall into endless worries. On one side was my small family, and on the other side was the big family. I didn’t know how to choose.”

He then talked about his childhood, a past he never wanted to recall:

"…I watched my relatives die one by one in front of me. I was the only one left to look after such a big family. The incense and paper money in the ancestral hall never seemed to stop burning.

I have been alone for too long and have tasted the most intense blood sorrow, so I have a morbid obsession with home.

I don't want to lose you, but if I give up the mission I can only protect you for a while, not forever. Only by continuing the mission can I keep you safe.

So I found Lu Tianming and asked him to help take care of you. If I really die one day, then..."

Chu Tianjiao scratched his hair irritably, his tone suddenly sounding painful, and he found it difficult to continue speaking, as if every word after that would pierce his heart like a needle.

On the sofa in the living room, Su Xiaoyan was already in tears.

She was an extremely emotional woman, otherwise she would not have been easily deceived by Chu Tianjiao.

Hearing the man's words that he was about to take out his heart to show her, she could no longer hold back her emotions, and even the two villains in her heart who were whipping her corpse stopped.

But even so, she did not do anything that crossed the line, but just looked at the man with tears in her eyes:

"Then why are you confessing now? Is the crisis of world destruction resolved?"

Speaking of this, Chu Tianjiao's face flashed with a bit of relief and melancholy: "Because Xia Di stood up again and took all the burdens on his shoulders.

Back then, he protected this city with his own strength, and now he protects this country and even this world with his own strength.

His power is beyond everyone's imagination. To him, the existence that can trigger Ragnarok is nothing but an insect that can be easily destroyed. This also makes my persistence become a joke."

"What exactly happened?" Su Xiaoyan hugged the calico cat that was rubbing against her legs trying to comfort her, wiped away her tears and asked about the whole story.

Chu Tianjiao did not hide anything and told them all the secrets of the dragon clan, the intricacies of the mixed-blood society, Xia Di's misdeeds, and his plan to violently crush everything after he established the Dragon Group.

Su Xiaoyan was stunned. She didn't expect that the bastard whom she called a Jiangbei thief in private was so powerful. Thinking about it carefully, perhaps the adventure of entering the world of novels in her dream was also given by him.

And when he heard that Chu Tianjiao had joined the Dragon Team and that his beloved son had become a disciple of Xia Di and was so strong that he could pin him, his father, to the ground, he was so surprised that he was speechless.

How can I have the nerve to say bad things about him to my bestie in private in the future?
As if he had seen through her thoughts, Chu Tianjiao comforted her: "Don't worry, he doesn't care what others think of him. Even if they say bad things about him behind his back, it won't matter..."

"Crack!"

Before Chu could finish his words, a black suitcase suddenly appeared and fell on the coffee table in front of Su Xiaoyan.

"What is this?" Su Xiaoyan was startled and almost threw the cat out again, but she soon noticed a label on the suitcase with the words "To Ms. Su Xiaoyan" on it.

For no reason, she felt that this must have been the work of some unscrupulous writer.

Especially the man not far away whose expression suddenly became very interesting was a strong proof.

"Wait, um..." Seeing Su Xiaoyan about to open the suitcase, Chu Tianjiao subconsciously opened his mouth to stop her.

"What? I can't watch?" Su Xiaoyan narrowed her eyes, and her words were threatening that if you dare to say no, you'll get out with your suitcase.

Chu Tianjiao's face turned red and blue after tasting her subtext. After two-thirds of a second, he decisively admitted his mistake: "It's okay, you can watch it casually, it's just that the content is a little bit..."

Before she finished speaking, Su Xiaoyan opened the suitcase.

What caught my eye were photos that almost filled the entire suitcase.

The protagonists of the photos, without exception, are the beautiful her and her son with a baby-like expressionless face.

In the bumper car at the amusement park, she hugged her son and screamed. In the clothing store at the mall, she picked up clothes for her son. In the restaurant, she pinched her son's chin and tried to feed him food. At the elementary school graduation ceremony, she hugged her son's shoulders and smiled proudly.

Su Xiaoyan flipped through the photos and saw many different versions of herself: laughing, dazed, lonely, like a mother, like a little girl... But no matter what she looked like, she was extremely beautiful.

The tears she had just wiped away came back with a vengeance, and her vision suddenly became blurry. She could not see the year, month, and date marked in red on the corners of the photo. She could only see the heartbreaking words:
"This is the first year since you left me. You seem to be doing well, so I feel relieved."

"It's the second year. Please, don't look so haggard."

Tears dripped down and scattered into tiny water droplets on the laminated photos.

She thought about how she was not understood by her son at that time, and how she was just playing around with her new husband, and how she had to pretend to be happy in the face of her best friend's teasing. She couldn't control her tears anymore.

"In the third year, you gained weight, but you looked good."

Asshole, you are the one who has gained weight. I have always maintained a good figure.

"In the fourth year, I have less time to think about you."

Asshole, how dare you?!
“In the fifth year, it continues to decrease.”

Bastard! Unfaithful man!
"But I still miss you."

"Woo——" After seeing the last sentence, Su Xiaoyan could no longer control her emotions and completely broke down in tears on the spot. Even the cry that was suppressed in her throat was released at this moment.

He is a man who longs so much to have a family, but he has to break it up with his own hands. How painful must his heart be?

In the hazy vision, the figure who had been standing still walked over, took out a white handkerchief from his arms, squatted in front of her and gently wiped the tears from her face.

"Don't cry. It won't look good if you cry."

Chu Tianjiao's voice was gentler than ever before. Even though a calico cat was biting his hand, his voice and movements did not waver in the slightest.

Su Xiaoyan was crying so hard that she was almost out of breath. She looked at the man squatting in front of her and wiping her tears. It was as if she had returned to the time when she was crying so hard because of morning sickness that she doubted her life. The man was also like this...

"Does what you said still count?"

“…Of course!” Although I’m not sure which one my wife is talking about, no matter which one it is, it counts!

Su Xiaoyan's voice was cold and resentful: "But you never paid child support once after the divorce."

Chu Tianjiao: “Uh…”

Pushing away the man's attentive hand, Su Xiaoyan straightened her body and took out an IOU from her suitcase.
"You said you would regret proposing to her after you succeed, but now you owe her a huge sum of 10 million."

Didn't we agree that the organization would reimburse you? Why did you write an IOU?!
Looking at the IOU, Chu Tianjiao seemed to hear someone's evil laugh in his ears.

A cold sweat suddenly broke out.

Waving the IOU, Su Xiaoyan elegantly crossed her legs. Even though there were traces of tears on her face, she still couldn't hide her queen-like majesty:
"From today on, I am your creditor.

When the debt is paid off, then... um?"

After receiving the instruction, Chu Tianjiao immediately jumped up from the ground, took out a black hood from somewhere and put it on his head, and said in a deep voice:
"Wait a moment, I'm going to gather some people to rob the bank now, and the 10 million debt will be delivered immediately!"
