113. I Finally Got Back At Them
Wei Sama, Let's Stuff Them With Dog Food[1]
Qi Le An sat on the wooden sofa and looked at his uncle and aunt in front of him.
The people who used to look terrifying and powerful now seemed to have shrunk. The shrewd auntâs face was covered with wrinkles, and the brutal and arrogant uncle had bleary eyes.
The yellowing walls and dirty cement ground disgusted Qi Le An, who didnât want to stay here for another moment.
âHow could I fear such people before? Why did I wire them money every time they called me?â
Qi Da Zhu was ill at ease. He pushed the glass forward and forced a smile. âLe⦠Le An! Have some water!â
Qi Le An looked at the dirty glass and ignored it. âUncle, are the things ready?â
Qi Da Zhuâs heart skipped a beat. After Qi Le An called him a few days ago, Qi Da Zhu had been thinking about what his nephew meant. Back then, his brother and sister-in-law had left in their home a few books, which were sold by him after the accident. As for things like the death certificate⦠Qi Le An was not talking about this, was he?
Qi Da Zhu thought about the mentioned money, and his throat got dry. He gritted his teeth and took out a set of keys from his pocket. âAn, IÂ couldnât find the things that you are looking for. These are the keys to our old house, which you know was given to me. Now I give you the keys, and you go find it yourself, okay?â
His words puzzled Qi Le An.
âIs there really nothing in the house? How does Uncle know about the sum of money?â
Qi Le An had an unfathomable expression. His aunt wanted to say something, but she was stopped by his uncle, who looked at him flatteringly and said with a begging tone, âAn⦠We are having a hard time here. Your aunt goes to sell vegetables at the market every day to earn money. Your cousin is going to high school next year⦠We can hardly make our ends meet.â
âYour grandfather said before⦠that your parents left a sum of moneyâ¦â
âI was wrong. Back then, all the money at home was spent on your fatherâs education, and Iâm almost illiterate. Those people tricked me, and I fell for their trap. During the past year, I couldnât sleep every night, wishing to apologize to you.â
As he spoke, Qi Da Zhu managed to squeeze out a few tears. His wife followed suit, covering her face and pretending to cry.
âBut I donât dare.â Qi Da Zhu suddenly raised his voice and cried with tears, âIâm afraid you wonât forgive me. I am your only relative. You will forgive us, wonât you?â
Qi Le An felt like laughing at their show.
His aunt cried out loud. Qi Da Zhu stole a glance at Qi Le An, who was indifferent, and he willed himself to say, âAn. Iâll kneel before you. These six months, my health has been getting worse, and Iâm afraid I wonât be able to live long⦠If you donât forgive me, how can I go see my poor brother in the nether world?â
Qi Da Zhu was about to kneel in front of Qi Le An while his wife cried so loud as if Qi Da Zhu was going to die in the next second.
Qi Le An was lost for words. How could he have been threatened by those idiots in the past?
At this moment, a closed-door in the shabby house was suddenly kicked open. His cousin in pajamas with messy hair screamed, âWhat the hell! How can I sleep in these noises?â
The house was in turmoil. Qi Da Zhu was stuck in a dilemma, and his wife had been winking at her daughter, who looked at Qi Le An with contempt. âWhy is this guy here again? Asking for money? Get him out of here.â
Uncleâs countenance changed when he heard this. For the first time, he got angry with his loved daughter, âWhat are you talking about?! Apologize to your cousin now!â
His cousin was stunned. As if she had suffered a great grievance, she was about to cry the next second.
Qi Le An sneered coldly, âThatâs right. Iâm here to ask for money.â
Everyone in the room was dumbfounded.
Qi Le An looked at Qi Da Zhu and said, âI will go back to the old house to get what I want, but you should give me back my parentsâ pension, right?â
Qi Da Zhuâs face turned pale, and his wife smiled flatteringly. âLe An⦠What are you talking about? There was no pensionâ¦â
âThere was a pension of around five hundred thousand from my parentsâ accident,â Qi Le An said coldly, âyou kept it on my behalf, claiming that I was too young to keep the money. I turned 18 last week, so please give me back the money.â
His words baffled his aunt.
âOf course, you were having a hard time over the years. If you donât have the money⦠I take the old house as one hundred thousand, and the house that my father bought for Grandpa, letâs take it as two hundred thousand. The remaining two hundred thousand would be my thank-you payment for your keeping me for one month. Two hundred thousand for one month, itâs a good deal, isnât it?â Qi Le An said to them patiently.
Uncleâs mother was dumbstruck. His cousin stared at him and said, âCrazyâ¦You are crazy!â
Qi Le An smiled indifferently. âMy agent has contacted the lawyer. Someone will come to you for the formalities within a month. Iâm busy lately, so I wonât say anything else.â
As he spoke, Qi Le An stood up from the sofa and looked around the dilapidated house. He said in disdain, âThe air here is stale. Iâll be off.â
He bypassed the completely dumbfounded family of three and walked out of the door. Finally, he said, âBy the way, Uncle, donât try to delay paying the money. otherwise, my fans⦠Iâm not sure what they will do to you if you break your promise.â
His blatant threat paralyzed Qi Da Zhu, who fell to the ground.
Qi Le An walked out of the shabby house with a smile, leaving the screams of his cousin and aunt behind him.
Back in the car, Wei Chang Feng smiled. âHow is it?â
âI guess they might go crazy.â Qi Le An said in a good mood.
It seemed that his uncle learned about the money left by his parents from his grandfather. He threatened him like this, and he was certain his uncle had told the truth!
Wei Chang Feng looked at Qi Le An, who was as proud as a rooster, amused. âAre you so happy?â
Qi Le An fastened his seatbelt and let out a long sigh of relief. âI finally got back at them.â
The smile faded on Wei Chang Fengâs face when he thought of the days when Qi Le An was accused by the public last year.
Qi Le An smiled, âAfter we go back to Hai City, letâs go visit my parents together.â
Wei Chang Feng paused and smiled, âOkay.â
Qi Le An got excited. âThey will definitely like you.â
Wei Chang Fengâs eyes were filled with tenderness.
After they returned to Hai City, they went to the cemetery where they ran across each other. Qi Le An chattered to his parents for a long time, and Wei Chang Feng placed Chrysanthemum on their graves respectfully.
Qi Le An meant what he said to his uncle. He contacted Lawyer Tang and told him about his situation. Lawyer Tang had long heard of the problem of Qi Le An, whose letter had been lost in his law firm, so he immediately promised he would take care of Qi Da Zhu. Qi Le An didnât expect him to do it for free, and he directly transferred fifty thousand to the bank account of Lawyer Tang, who worked harder for him after he got the money.
Half a month later, Qi Le An got the transfer agreement for the two houses, while Qi Da Zhu went to the hospital because of illness.
âWei Sama, are you busy today?â
At night, Qi Le An said while holding the phone in bed.
A few days ago, Wei Chang Feng went to Province S to film âThe Coffinâ, and he might come back by end of January.
âNot at all.â Wei Chang Feng smiled. âHow are you? Has everything been settled?â
Qi Le An nodded. âI signed a document with Lawyer Tang today, so thereâs basically no problem.â
Wei Chang Feng told him, âThen youâve got to focus on your studies. Are you going to take the exam soon?â
Qi Le An was speechless. Wei Chang Feng didnât forget to push him to study when they were in love. He was the most hardworking man in history.
Wei Chang Feng sensed that Qi Le An didnât like this topic and quickly asked, âWhen will you move?â
Qi Le An had to return his flat to the landlord at the end of December. The small flat he had bought was in renovation, so he had to move into the house that Wei Chang Feng gave him.
âIâll do it these two daysâ¦â Qi Le An felt a headache, âI told Chen Shan that I will stay at your place temporarily.â
Wei Chang Feng chuckled and said, âDoes he have time to care about you?â
Chen Shanâs mother was approaching her due date, and she was expecting the baby in the hospital. Chen Shanâs chubby baby sister would come out any day.
Qi Le An couldnât help laughing. The two of them said a few more words and Qi Le An reluctantly asked Wei Chang Feng to go to sleep.
Filming was exhausting. Even though he really wanted to talk with Wei Chang Feng, he could not disturb his rest!
After he packed up his schoolbag and browsed Weibo, giving likes to a few fans, Qi Le An went to bed and prepared to sleep. But just a few minutes after he closed his eyes, his phone suddenly rang.
Qi Le An was startled and quickly picked up the call. Chen Shan shouted, âAn! My mother has entered the delivery room!â
Qi Le An, who had never seen birth in two lifetimes, sat up excitedly and said, âIs the baby born?â
âNot yet!â There was a note of panic in Chen Shanâs calm voice, âSheâs just sent into the delivery room.â
Qi Le An was lost for words.
âMy dad followed inside, and the nanny went to prepare the things. I⦠Iâm a little afraid outside the delivery room.â Chen Shan finally confided his fear, âThe doctor suggests cesarean, but my mom insists on natural birth. Do you think if there will be something wrong?â
Qi Le An quickly said, âStop the nonsense. Donât scare yourself.â
Chen Shan hurriedly said, âItâs my fault. Iâm just a little flustered⦠You have classes tomorrow, right? Forget it. You should go to bed nowâ¦â
After he spoke, the nutty man hung up.
Qi Le An held his phone with a wry face. How could he go to sleep?
