SOURCE OF CALAMITY CH 024 UNCLE!
“Uncle.” Shen Zhen sat next to Qin Xing. After dinner, he was notified by a servant to go to Qin Xing’s room.
When the servant said this, their face was full of surprise. After all, no one in the entire Qin family had ever entered Qin Xing’s room except for the housekeeper who went in to clean it.
It was like a forbidden area of the Qin family, no one would seek death by going there.
Even Qin Yue, who was once the most favored, was never called to Qin Xing’s room.
Everyone knew that Shen Zhen was the most favored now, but no one would have thought that he would be favored to this point.
Qin Xing just came out of the bathroom. He was wearing a white bathrobe, with his bare chest showing through the loose gap, and his bare feet stepping on the light gray carpet in the room. Qin Xing had a good figure, and he had strong chest muscles and abdominal muscles that were not exaggerated at all but firm and full of aesthetic beauty. It was not a bodybuilder physique, but a more natural and masculine beauty.
At least Shen Zhen couldn’t take his eyes off, and it took a few seconds before he forcibly ordered himself not to look below Qin Xing’s head.
Shen Zhen was called over in a hurry so he was still wearing a set of pink sheep pajamas, which Mama Zhang had prepared for him before. He didn’t like pink very much, so he never wore it. But after moving out of the manor, these pajamas were the only ones left behind.
As a result, when he changed his pajamas tonight, he realized that this was the only set left.
It would take a while for people to buy new ones but Shen Zhen didn’t like to ask people to run errands for such a trivial matter, so he could only wear these.
When Qin Xing saw his pajamas, he joked, “These pajamas look good. Xiao Zhen can often wear this to see Uncle.”
Shen Zhen wanted to roll his eyes, but he didn’t dare, so he asked, “Uncle, what’s the matter, asking me to come here so late?”
Qin Xing: “Can’t you still come and talk to Uncle if there is nothing?”
Shen Zhen: “
..Of course I can.”
How could he know that Qin Xing suddenly wanted to chat.
And he didn’t know what to talk about with Qin Xing.
“Xiao Zhen has been in the Qin family for seventeen years, right?” Qin Xing asked suddenly.
Shen Zhen came to the Qin family at the age of five, and he was twenty-two this year. He did not expect that Qin Xing still remembered this.
“Uncle still remembers that at that time, Xiao Zhen always hid behind Ah Yue’s back and looked at Uncle.” Qin Xing smiled, went to the side and poured two glasses of wine, handing Shen Zhen a glass. Shen Zhen didn’t like to drink other wines except red wine at night, but it was served by Qin Xing himself, so he had to take it even if he didn’t want to and finish it before leaving.
Shen Zhen smiled shyly: “At that time, I thought Uncle was very dignified.”
In fact, it was just that he didn’t dare to get close. Children have animal-like intuition.
Qin Xing: “Uncle still remembers the first time I saw Xiao Zhen, Xiao Zhen was wearing small leather shoes and a small suit, your eyes were very red, as if you would cry in the next second.”
Shen Zhen was a little curious: “Really? I don’t even remember.”
He just remembered being scared at that time.
Qin Xing sat next to Shen Zhen, and his movements naturally became intimate with Shen Zhen. He touched Shen Zhen’s head, and stretched out his hand to tease Shen Zhen’s ears, just like teasing a cat, but the movements were very gentle. There was no hint of toying, nor was there a sense of profanity.
“Really.” Qin Xing whispered softly, “Xiao Zhen, do you still remember the gift Uncle gave you on your sixteenth birthday?”
It was a watch, a custom-made watch, studded with cut diamonds, the design very beautiful. Shen Zhen kept it in the cabinet until now, and never took it out to wear, because he knew that once it was taken out, Qin Li could eat him alive, and even Qin Yue would have an obstacle in his heart.
Because none of the other juniors in the Qin family had ever received a gift from Qin Xing, not even just a verbal birthday greeting.
But apart from that watch, Shen Zhen never received any gifts from Qin Xing again. After he was excited at the beginning, he quickly realized the reality, that was, Qin Xing probably only asked the assistant to buy a gift because his surname was not Qin.
“I remember.” Shen Zhen said, “I kept that watch safe and away.”
Qin Xing: “Look over there.”
Shen Zhen turned his head and saw the dark blue box on the cabinet. Shen Zhen turned back and looked at Qin Xing: “Uncle?”
Qin Xing just smiled: “Open it and have a look.”
Shen Zhen picked up the box and slowly opened it. A silver watch inside was particularly dazzling. Shen Zhen didn’t have a deep knowledge on watches, but he also knew that it was a watch made with traditional craftsmanship, and it was custom-made. And the time scale inside the watch was inlaid with diamonds, but it did not have the gaudy air of the nouveau riche.
The whole watch was low-key and gorgeous, reflecting a cold and noble gleam under the light.
“Uncle thinks this watch suits you very well.” Qin Xing asked him, “Does Xiao Zhen like it?”
Shen Zhen said honestly: “It’s very beautiful, and I like it very much.”
Shen Zhen didn’t think it was too expensive to accept. After all, the pocket money the Qin family gave him every year was enough to buy an unknown number of custom-made watches.
So Shen Zhen put the watch on his wrist.
Qin Xing: “It suits you well.”
His Xiao Zhen was like this watch, neither fickle nor pompous, but reserved and aloof.
“Uncle.” Shen Zhen asked, “Are you going to let Ah Yue continue to rest the whole time?”
Qin Xing: “Is it not good? What does Xiao Zhen think?”
Shen Zhen smiled at Qin Xing, it was rare for him to smile so sincerely, with a trace of innocence that had faded away: “It’s good, I don’t want to see him.”
Qin Xing: “Have you discussed the unfinished building projects yet?”
Shen Zhen: “Not yet, I made an appointment with Yang Changsheng to talk this weekend.”
Shen Zhen was a little excited when he said this: “Yang Changsheng and I are going to start a real estate company, Uncle, what do you think?”
Qin Xing stretched out his hand and tucked a strand of Shen Zhen’s hair behind his ear: “No matter what Xiao Zhen does, Uncle will support you.”
“By the way.” Shen Zhen said seemingly unintentionally, “Uncle, you don’t like Ah Yue anymore?”
Qin Xing patted Shen Zhen on the shoulder, and looked at Shen Zhen with a half-smile: “Xiao Zhen doesn’t like Ah Yue anymore, and of course Uncle doesn’t like him anymore either.”
Even knowing that Qin Xing was joking, Shen Zhen still flushed.
He had the feeling that he was being held in the palm of Qin Xing’s hands, as if he had turned back into a tiny, milk scented child.
A tiny, milk scented child who needed to be doted on and pampered.
This novel feeling made Shen Zhen a little lost.
“Have a drink with Uncle?”
Shen Zhen couldn’t remember when he fell asleep, or even when he had become drunk or how he went back to his room.
However, at this time, he was lying on the sofa, wearing his pink pajamas, and his face still flushed from alcohol or sleep. Unlike the last time he was drunk, this time he didn’t frown or bite his lip but actually had a trace of a slightly less obvious smile on his lips.
Qin Xing was sitting next to him. Qin Xing stretched out his hand and pulled Shen Zhen’s hand with the watch on over. He lowered his head slowly.
It was a gentle and restrained kiss, without any overstepping.
Soft like an ungraspable dream.
However, what Shen Zhen didn’t know was that after he was carried back to his room by Qin Xing, Qin Yue went to see Qin Xing and even brought Su Shiqing with him.
Qin Xing had already dressed at that time, a light blue casual outfit for staying home, which made him appear a little more casual and less serious.
“Go to the study and wait for me.” Qin Xing said to Qin Yue outside the door.
Qin Yue replied, “Yes, Uncle.”
It was the first time Su Shiqing entered Qin Xing’s study. He looked left and right, as if a country bumpkin had just entered the big city, and whispered to Qin Yue, “Uncle really knows how to enjoy his luxuries.”
Qin Yue smiled and said, “Uncle has always been like this.”
Qin Xing was not the kind of person who put all his energy into his career, he liked to enjoy life as well.
When Qin Xing walked into the study, Su Shiqing stood up involuntarily. He rarely saw Qin Xing, but every time he saw Qin Xing, Su Shiqing felt short of breath and his heart beat out of normal speed. But his face didn’t turn red, so he looked perfectly normal from the outside.
“Uncle.” Qin Yue and Su Shiqing greeted together.
Qin Xing sat on the sofa, his movements were casual, but he had the intimidating aura of someone used to being in a powerful position: “What is it?”
Qin Yue looked at Qin Xing imploringly: “Uncle, it’s about Baiyun.”
Su Shiqing quickly said: “Uncle, that company is run by my father. In order to start this company, my father and I went to many places and collected a lot of information. All the employees are experienced and hired at a lot of money. Uncle, it’s not that Ah Yue wants to lie to you, Baiyun really has strength.”
Qin Xing chuckled: “Oh?”
It was just this low chuckle that made Su Shiqing speechless for an instant, he didn’t know what to say, at this moment he lost the ability to think, and only Qin Xing’s laughter echoed in his mind.
Qin Yue thought that Su Shiqing was intimidated by Qin Xing, so he quickly stepped forward to block Su Shiqing: “Uncle, I did not handle this right, but Baiyun is indeed capable.”
Qin Xing’s attitude was very gentle: “Ah Yue, are you just here to tell me this?”
Qin Yue didn’t speak.
Qin Xing asked again: “What is the relationship between Mr. Su and myself?”
Qin Yue knew that Mr. Su in Qin Xing’s words was Su Shiqing, but he still didn’t speak.
Qin Xing: “I don’t want to hear ‘uncle’ from his mouth again, do you hear this clearly?”
At this time, Su Shiqing finally came back to his senses, his face turned pale with shock, and he said without hesitation: “Then why can Shen Zhen call you uncle? His surname is not Qin either.”
Qin Xing looked at Su Shiqing, with a smile on his lips, but his eyes were cold, so cold that Su Shiqing felt suddenly in a world of ice and snow. Qin Xing smiled and said, “Do you think you can be compared with Xiao Zhen?”
Su Shiqing was frightened and did not dare to speak.
Qin Yue quickly said: “Uncle, Shi Qing has been following after me on how to call you, he forgot for a while.”
Qin Xing: “Ah Yue, you are twenty-four this year, not fourteen. Don’t do such childish things again.”
Qin Yue was still trying to struggle: “Uncle, I didn’t choose Baiyun because of my good relationship with Shi Qing, but because of Baiyun’s strength.”
Qin Xing nodded: “I know, since the contract with Baiyun has already been negotiated, it’s not good to change it all of a sudden.”
Qin Yue and Su Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief together.
But Qin Xing’s next words drove them into the abyss.
Qin Xing said, “I’ve sent people to acquire Baiyun.”
Qin Yue looked at Qin Xing blankly: “What does Uncle mean?”
Qin Xing smiled: “I mean, Baiyun will be surnamed Shen in the future, Shen Zhen’s Shen.”
Su Shiqing’s eyes widened. He and Qin Yue started and built this company together. Although he didn’t understand these things and didn’t do much, he felt that it was a fruit of his own hard work and effort. He looked at Qin Xing and didn’t want to believe what Qin Xing said was true.
“Uncle!” Su Shiqing stood up, “You can’t treat me like this.”
He shouted excitedly: “Do you know what Shen Zhen is like? Do you know what he did? Do you know how he deliberately approached you?!”
“Uncle!”
