Chapter 6
"Xiao Tong, dinner is ready." The door was knocked from the outside, and it was Aunt Liu, the nanny who had been working in Chi Tong's house since he could remember, who called Chi Tong.
Chi Tong closed the webpage and got up to open the door. Aunt Liu hadn't left yet. Standing in front of the door, she told Chi Tong in a low voice: "Mr. Chi, his wife and Chi Yu also went home for dinner today, and they are now in the living room downstairs."
Chi Tong's face remained unchanged: "Thank you, Auntie, I understand."
Aunt Liu seemed to want to say something, but she hesitated to speak before she stopped speaking, she just turned around and went downstairs first.
Although there were quite a few people downstairs, there were very few voices, only the sound of the TV news as a boring background.
When Chi Tong walked to the stairs, he could see the person sitting on the sofa downstairs. His footsteps were not fast or slow, and the soft slippers made regular sounds on the wooden floor.
When Chi Yu heard the sound, he knew that Chi Tong had come down, and he looked up the stairs reflexively.
Chi Tong was wearing a light-coloured shirt with a stand-up collar, and looked down from a height to meet Chi Yu's, with almost no movement in his black eyes.Chi Yu is the exact opposite of him. Chi Yu has a certain unconcealable emotional upsurge, so he has to quickly stagger the sight of the two of them, otherwise an untimely flaw will be revealed.
"Grandpa, Chi Tong is down." Chi Yu said to Mr. Chi on the sofa.
Old man Chi was talking to Chi Yu's father Chi Guangxu just now. Of course, it was mainly Chi Guangxu who said that the old man would only ask or answer very rarely.
In fact, Chi Guangxu spoke nervously and under great pressure, but he still took credit for what he could say a little bit during this period of time like reporting a grade.
This kind of thing has to be staged every time they go home for dinner, and it is almost a necessary procedure for the boss of the Chi family to brush up on his presence.
Every time Chi Yu watched this scene, he felt uncomfortable and resentful. Why was Chi Tong's child so obedient in his family, while Chi Tong had everything he could want by his grandfather's side since he was a child.
Chi Guangxu also felt that it was unfair. Every time he got drunk, he had to cry and complain in front of his family.When Chi Tong's biological father was still alive, he was the son that Mr. Chi valued, but he didn't expect that after his death, Chi Tong would also be favored by Mr. Chi.
As an uncle, he is inferior to his younger brother, and now he is even inferior to his younger brother's children.
Chi Yu also felt that their family's fate was evil, and he had been a good boy in front of his grandfather since he was a child. Although his grandfather was kind to him at times, he was nothing compared to Chi Tong.
It can be said that although Chi Tong has no father or mother, as long as Mr. Chi is still around, he will let the boss of the Chi family and his family have their teeth sore.
In front of outsiders, Chi Yu, who called Chi Tong one by one "crazy", never dared to act rashly when facing Chi Tong.This is not only because of the presence of Mr. Chi, but also because he has experienced some of Chi Tong's "abnormalities" when he was a child, which is a kind of desperate madness.
When Chi Yu was a child, because he mentioned his biological mother's illness and biological father's death in front of Chi Tong, Chi Tong dragged him into the swimming pool in the backyard and almost drowned.
Chi Yu will never forget that when he was rescued amidst the nanny's exclamation, he saw himself reflected in the pupils of Chi Tong standing on the shore. After a long time, it was his childhood nightmare. He will be killed by Chi Tong.
For this reason, Mr. Chi once sent Chi Tong to undergo psychotherapy for a long time. The treatment seemed to be effective, and Chi Tong's emotions were no longer so uncontrollable.
But is a person who looks normal the same as really normal?Chi Yu felt that maybe Chi Tong's overly favored eyebrows and eyes were like a metaphor, gorgeous on the outside but decadent on the inside.
"Uncle, aunt." Chi Tong greeted Chi Guangxu and his wife with a gentle tone, but when he turned to Chi Yu, he paused before saying, "Chi Yu."
Chi Yu felt uneasy because of Chi Tong's slight pause. He could speak out about Chi Tong's mental illness in front of outsiders, but he didn't dare to resort to a few words in front of Chi Tong.
Chi Yu's eyes flickered slightly: "Xiaotong, long time no see."
Mr. Chi got up and changed the subject: "Then let's have dinner."
He is hale and hearty, and he is still the backbone of the Chi family. As long as the old man is still there, the order of the Chi family will not change.
At the dinner table, Chi Guangxu sat on the left of Mr. Chi, and Chi Tong sat on the right.There were already dishes and chopsticks on the table, and Aunt Liu helped Mr. Chi and Chi Tong each serve a bowl of soup.
Chi Guangxu took out a bottle of wine that he brought and said, "Dad, I just bought this bottle of wine a few days ago. You said you liked it before. It's rare for me to drink with you today. Why don't you open it?"
Old Master Chi took a look at the wine bottle, and said with a smile, "That's fine."
Although Chi Guangxu is not Mr. Chi's favorite child, he always has a soft heart when he gets older, and he also likes a lively reunion at home, so the old man is still in a good mood at this time.
While Chi Guangxu was having a drink, he also asked about Chi Yu's recent situation.
Chi Yu said nicely, hiding the fact that he was playing around outside every day, and talked about how hardworking he was in his little job in the company.
The wine was poured into the glass, and the mellow smell of wine slowly swayed in the air.
After Mr. Chi took a sip of the wine, he tasted it and said, "Good wine."
Taking advantage of the good atmosphere at the dinner table, Chi Yu suddenly said to Chi Tong: "Xiao Tong, come hang out with me next time."
The food and drink at the dinner table didn't stop, but everyone paid some attention to Chi Tong.
Old Master Chi said: "Young people should go out and have fun and see what's wrong. They just have to keep themselves clean and don't mess around."
These words are not only a compliment to Chi Yu's invitation to Chi Tong, but also a blow to him.The old man seems to ignore them, but he knows many things well.
Chi Tong picked up the dishes slowly, and didn't pay much attention to the topics in such family dinners: "I'm not interested."
Chi Yu originally wanted to say something, but the next sentence of the old man made the atmosphere turn sour: "Xiaotong is also about to join the company. I have already greeted you, Uncle Wu, and asked his subordinates to take you."
Chi Guangxu and Chi Yu were both stunned.Although Chi Yu is also working in his own company, it is not an influential department.But when Mr. Chi asked Chi Tong to join him, he was the core of the group. Even if he started from the grassroots level, he obviously valued him more.
Chi Guangxu knew that since his younger brother died, the old man had a compensatory mentality towards Chi Tong.In the past, these things that were given to the youngest son were now determined to be given to the little grandson.
When the dinner was coming to an end, Chi Guangxu was obviously drunk, and sitting next to Mr. Chi, he was unwilling to get up to give way to the aunt who was about to clean up the table.
Both Chi Yu and his mother wanted to reach out to pull him, but Chi Guangxu threw him aside: "I just want to talk to Dad, why are you pulling me?!"
He had a loud voice and lost all manners.
Mr. Chi frowned: "Okay, if you have anything to say to me, come with me to the study."
Chi Guangxu got up and followed old master Chi with a little vain footsteps, while Chi Yu and his mother watched the father and son into the study on the first floor with some apprehension.
Not long after, Chi Guangxu's cry came from the study.
"I have nothing better than luster. You have looked down on me for so many years..."
Chi Yu's face was a little red, and he glanced at Chi Tong with embarrassment, but found that Chi Tong didn't seem to pay attention to this side, just sitting alone on the sofa playing with his mobile phone.Chi Yu was extremely jealous for showing such a nonchalant attitude despite having obtained everything.
After several ups and downs in Chi Yu's heart, he walked up to Chi Tong and said, "Xiao Tong, when will you really come out and play with us, it's very interesting."
He was so inviting that it sounded like an underperforming salesman trying to sell his product.
The more unattainable Chi Tong is, the more he wants to pull him down and step into the mud.
Chi Tong raised his eyes and said lightly: "If I have time next time." He got up while talking, "Auntie, I'll go upstairs first."
Chi Yu's mother was so distracted by the study on the first floor, every sentence of the voice from there struck her heart like thunder, she had no time to be polite to Chi Tong, she just nodded to him in a hurry Nodding: "You go."
Chi Yu watched unwillingly as Chi Tong's figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs on the second floor.Chi Yu also knows what grandfather likes about Chi Tong. Chi Guangxu has said more than once that Chi Tong is like his biological father.
According to his father, once Chi Tong's father was smart and well-behaved, and his grandfather placed high hopes on him.The only time in this life to resist but chose the most extreme way.
Chi Yu didn't fully agree with Chi Guangxu's opinion, he felt that Chi Tong wasn't exactly like his uncle.At least Chi Tong is not weak, he is crazy.
Chi Yu is always terrified of Chi Tong's existence, and he knows that such fear will become more and more difficult to vent as Chi Tong grows stronger.
Chi Tong's life is too good, but his life is not so good, and neither of them will live too well.His father was only a few dozen years old, but he was wronged and cried in front of his grandfather.
Before Chi Tong pushed open the door, the corridor lamp behind him lit up again with the sound of people's footsteps, as if chasing him.
Chi Tong turned around and looked at the deformed shadow at the stairway, which was constantly shaking with the hurried footsteps of the approaching person, but the footsteps were very light and were deliberately suppressed.
The halo of the corridor lamp fell on the old wooden floor, reflecting a dark luster, like an overstretched black shadow.
The noise from downstairs faintly spread to the second floor, and Chi Tong felt a little depressed in his heart, and when he was about to return to the room on his own regardless of who came, a half-familiar figure appeared at the stairway.
"Xiaotong." It was Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu walked quickly to Chi Tong's side, and told him in a low voice: "Xiaowei and I talk about Xiaoyu and sometimes mess with some dubious people outside, anyway, anyway, it's very bad, I heard him ask you out to play just now, don't be like him."
Xiaowei is Aunt Liu's son and works as a driver in Chi's house.
Aunt Liu watched Chi Tong grow up almost from a young age, and always cared for him in a different way.
"Thank you, auntie, I know." Chi Tong's tone was gentle, but his expression was dull.
Under the corridor lamp, his beautiful eyebrows and eyes were a little distorted, and his dark pupils were emotionless.
