Chapter 229 Cold Salad
"You can't do this again."

Xu Mingyuan frowned. When he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Yangzhi clenching his fists and curling up his head in the quilt.

"I was lying on the side, so I wasn't squeezed in."

Yang Zhi lowered his head to look at the distance and loosened his hands that were pinching his collar.

"It's not two years ago now. The Chinese New Year has passed. In a little over a month, you will have your birthday. Do you still think you are a 15 or 16-year-old? You are a girl of this age. You should know how to avoid suspicion."

"But I'm wearing clothes..."

Yang Zhi pulled open the thin sweater on her wrist, revealing the warm fleece underneath, and gestured to Xu Mingyuan.

"Get up and do your homework."

"I've finished writing."

"Then read a book."

Xu Mingyuan threw the quilt on her head.

Yang Zhi covered his head like this, and when he felt suffocated, he spread his hands and stretched.

My brother didn’t say anything when he was still awake, but he got angry after he woke up. Maybe he had a nightmare…

Yang Zhi nodded, agreeing with what he was thinking.

Having gotten a little satisfaction, Yang Zhi stopped pestering Xu Mingyuan. She pinched the tip of the pen with her fingers and quietly calculated on the draft paper.

Xu Mingyuan wanted to go out for a walk, but his classmates had to go back to their hometowns and there were not many of them left in the city. Thinking that he would be busy again, he decided to help Xiao Yangzhi prepare for the textbooks.

Yang Zhi was a little happy when her tranquility was broken by Xu Mingyuan. The warm winter sun shone on her rosy face, turning the fine hairs on her fair skin golden, which was so beautiful that it seemed unreal.

We studied together like this for most of the afternoon.

There were notebooks placed by Xu Jun on the coffee table. Xu Mingyuan picked one up and opened it.

There were some phone numbers written on it. Xu Mingyuan had seen some of the names before, but he didn't recognize most of them.

The newly copied phone book only had a dozen phone numbers, including a name called Yang.

"Xiao Yangzhi, do you know this person named Yang Jinduo?" Xu Mingyuan said, pointing at the notebook.

"Yeah, I think I've heard of it."

Yang Zhi scratched his hair and said.

"Have you heard of it? Is he a relative from your mother's side?"

"I, I don't remember."

Yang Zhi shook his head.

"Tsk tsk, your good Uncle Xu, maybe he went to look for your mother."

Remembering that Xu Jun was wearing a middle-parted wig when he left, Xu Mingyuan touched his chin and vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"..."

Yang Zhi suddenly raised his head, with panic in his eyes.

"Oh shit, is he going to give money?"

Xu Mingyuan was shocked. Didn't his cheap father say that he didn't care anymore? He should not do such things again.

"No, the money is here."

Yang Zhi quickly took out the small box from under the coffee table.

Xu Mingyuan took a look and found that only 30,000 yuan was left out of the more than 30,000 yuan in cash. It should be the money used to take Xiao Yangzhi out shopping and give her gifts for the New Year.

"Where's the bank card?"

"At this."

Yang Zhi moved the money away and took out the bank card underneath.

"Okay, that's good."

Xu Mingyuan didn't care about the money, but he was annoyed that his old father was being played around by a woman, making it seem like he couldn't live without her.

Generally speaking, when encountering such a situation, he can be cured by shopping in the mall for a month. One day, I will ask the head of the public relations department to come up with a treatment plan and give Xu Jun a good treatment.

After Xu Mingyuan's reminder, Yang Zhi's heart suddenly tightened, and then he became more and more panicked the more he thought about it, and kept leaning on the windowsill looking outside.

"If you're in a hurry, just give me a call," Xu Mingyuan said.

"If uncle is busy, it would be a bad idea to call him, right?" Yang Zhi said.

"What could he be busy with? If you're worried that he's busy, then don't fight."

Xu Mingyuan said nonchalantly that Yang Hongyu might have been buried in the ground since there had been no news from her for such a long time.

"Why don't we play one? Ask uncle if he'll be back for dinner tonight." Yang Zhi asked cautiously.

"Then you fight."

Xu Mingyuan waved his hand and let her handle it herself.

Yang Zhi held the phone and kept looking at Xu Mingyuan. Her fingertips turned white. Seeing that he still had no intention of calling, she had to dial the number silently.

After calling twice without any answer, Yang Zhi became even more panicked. Finally, he got through on the third try.

"Uncle, are you coming home for dinner? Not coming back? Where have you been? In a couple of days, my brother said you were going to go look for my mom..."

After chatting for a few words, Yang Zhi handed the phone to Xu Mingyuan and said, "Brother, uncle asked you to answer the phone."

"Hey, Dad, where have you been?" "Take your sister to eat first, I'll be back in two days."

Xu Jun's deep, smoky voice came through the receiver, but the signal was bad and it sounded a bit distorted.

"Are you on the train?"

"Yeah, in the car."

"No way, are you really going to find Aunt Yang?" Xu Mingyuan said speechlessly.

"It's okay." Xu Jun smiled and said, "I'm going to get the house back."

"The land in the eastern suburbs has been sold at a low price, and we still need a house? Come back and have dinner." Xu Mingyuan said.

Even if this house is demolished, the maximum compensation can be around 300,000 yuan, which is not even a fraction of the land in the eastern suburbs.

The Xu family are all born stubborn, the kind that even ten horse-drawn carts can't pull them back.

After trying to persuade Xu Jun for a long time, seeing that he was unsuccessful, Xu Mingyuan simply hung up the phone and threw it aside.

"Brother, what did uncle say?" Yang Zhi asked in a low voice.

"He went to see your mother, what else can he say?" Xu Mingyuan sighed and smiled.

"Will you find it?"

"How would I know? He has known your mother for so many years, so he should have some information."

Xu Mingyuan called the person named Yang in the phone book, but the number was no longer in service and had been out of service for a long time.

Xu Mingyuan was at a loss as to what to do. He just ate melon seeds and continued to text Xiao Taotao. Apart from being a little speechless, he didn't feel anything.

"Will something happen to uncle?"

"My dad is already such a grown-up, what could possibly happen to him?"

Could it be said that Xu Jun was retaliating out of hatred for his love? Xu Mingyuan didn't think so.

Xu Jun is not desperate now, and he still has a long way to go. How could he be so desperate that he would go to seek revenge on Yang Hongyu? Probably just to ask for an explanation.

Of course, Xu Mingyuan felt that he, as a cheap father, might fall at Yang Hongyu's feet after just a few words.

There are many gold diggers in the world, and some of them have made fortunes.

Xu Mingyuan had heard a lot of such things before, but he was also curious, what kind of woman with high emotional intelligence could be so charming?
Seeing that Xu Mingyuan didn't take it seriously, Yang Zhi was almost crying in anxiety. She was like an ant on a hot pan, walking around the living room non-stop.

I called Xu Jun several times and finally got through.

In 05, the train lines had almost no signal, so we had to wait until we got to the station to chat for a few minutes. Yang Zhi called several times in a row, but instead of feeling relieved, she became even more anxious.

"Are you tired? Come and sit down."

Xu Mingyuan called her over and asked her to sit next to him.

"Brother, what if something happens?"

Yang Zhi stood on tiptoe and shook her legs. Even though Xu Mingyuan was hugging her, she had no intention of doing any other small movements.

"Then sentence him to life imprisonment, and he will be released in 20 years." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

“Wuhuhuhuhu…”

After he said that, Yang Zhi's shoulders began to tremble and she couldn't stop crying.

"Hey, hey, hey, I was just joking. Nothing will happen. Don't worry, your Uncle Xu knows what's going on."

Xu Mingyuan was very embarrassed to see that he made little Yangzhi cry just after making a joke.

"What if my uncle finds my mother and doesn't want me anymore?" Yang Zhi said with a sob.

"No, even if my father doesn't want me, he won't want you either."

Little Yangzhi is a well-behaved and sensible child. Xu Jun has raised her longer than his own son.

Xu Mingyuan also noticed these days that the father and son were still rather estranged, and only little Yangzhi was likable.

"What if something happens to uncle?" Yang Zhi asked with red eyes.

"How many times have you said it? My ears are getting calluses from it. Go away, stop wasting time."

Now that things have come to this, what else can Xu Mingyuan do? Call the police and have his father arrested?

Little Yangzhi is the typical person who responds to tough measures but not soft ones. After being scolded, she just whimpered twice and then didn't dare to cry anymore.

Xu Mingyuan was afraid that his two words would make her cry again, so he simply decided to turn a blind eye and ran back to his little room.

About an hour later, Xiao Yangzhi hurried to the study and ran in without even knocking on the door.

"Brother, uncle's phone is disconnected."

"You've made so many calls, your phone must be out of battery." Xu Mingyuan said casually.

Xu Jun probably couldn't stand eight hundred calls in an hour, so he turned off his phone.

"But what should I do if I can't get in touch with him?" Yang Zhi became even more panicked.

"Cold salad."

Xu Mingyuan sighed. Xu Jun raised his daughter well and cared about her more than himself, his son.

"..."

Yang Zhi wanted to cry but was afraid of being beaten, so she could only stare at him eagerly, and her eager eyes were very useful...
