Special Effects Pheromone - Chap 73
Chap 73
“Zheng Mou is suffering from a terminal illness. He once asked for help from the ‘Keyi Charity Foundation’, but was rejected on the grounds of ‘insufficient materials preparation’. In the end, he gave up treatment and died due to financial reasons. The family members therefore held a grudge against Duan Keyi and waited for an opportunity to retaliate…” Qu Jing looked at the news on his mobile phone, quite surprised, and turned to You Zhao and said, “This is also on the news?”
　　It was not supposed to be on the news. Duan Kexin offered a reward of 300,000 yuan. A man named Haoge on the street received the reward, gave it to the man, and explained the situation. Duan Kexin understood and said, “Originally, we were going to cut off one of their arms. But it turns out they are poor people, so forget it. Let’s hand it over to the police.”
　　Duan Kexin decided not to retaliate, and chose to take legal action and let the police handle it, which was considered to be the end of the matter.
　　But because of taking legal action, the matter was also reported in the news. Qu’s father was watching the news at home and was also a little surprised. He said, “The in-laws were beaten? And they were admitted to the hospital? How come we didn’t know?” Jiang Huixi was also surprised when she heard it: “What? Who was beaten? Youhai?”
　　”No, Duan Keyi.” Qu’s father handed the newspaper to Jiang Huixi.
　　Qu Jing and You Zhao looked at each other, a little embarrassed.
　　Jiang Huixi looked up and asked the two of them: “Do you know?”
　　You Zhao nodded helplessly: “I know… and I’m going to visit.”
　　”Ah, then why didn’t you tell me?” Jiang Huixi sighed, “After all, we are relatives. We have to visit, it’s also a courtesy!”
　　Qu Jing said: “Having said that, Duan Keyi is really a hateful person. If you meet him, you can’t help but say bad things, and you will make him sick.”
　　Jiang Huixi felt that Qu Jing was right. Every time they met, Duan Keyi spoke in a weird tone, and Jiang Huixi would retort, making the scene ugly.
　　However, Jiang Huixi said, “Since his legs have been broken, how can I still bother with him? I promise I won’t talk back this time.”
　　”That won’t work either.” Qu Jing said, “If he says something to irritate you, and you don’t talk back, then you are being bullied? How can I let my mother be bullied by outsiders?”
　　”You are talking nonsense!” Jiang Huixi glared at Qu Jing, “Duan Keyi is also Zhao’er’s family, how can he be considered an outsider?” Jiang Huixi patted You Zhao’s shoulder and smiled, “Let’s go together. No matter who he is, we are all respectable people, and we must not lose our manners.”
　　So Jiang Huixi got busy, bought a fruit basket, and took Qu’s father, Qu Jing and You Zhao to visit Duan Keyi. Duan Keyi was recuperating in a private clinic. In fact, his injury was not very serious, but he just didn’t want to go home.
　　Duan Kexin also reported to Duan Keyi and explained the reason why Duan Keyi was beaten.
　　Duan Keyi was furious after hearing the whole story: “He died young! Do you still blame me? I didn’t infect his body with cancer cells! Moreover, with incomplete materials, he really can’t apply for assistance! If everyone can get money by just preparing a few forms like him, that would be a strange thing! Really… I am suffering for doing charity?”
　　Duan Keyi smiled and said, “Don’t say that in front of the media!”
　　”Of course I know!” Duan Keyi said coldly, “I’m so old, do you need to tell me these truths?”
　　”Haha, don’t act like a brother in front of me,” Duan Kexin sneered, “I know you don’t like me, your Alpha brother. But now it seems that you can only rely on me. Even if I am not good to you, I am ten times better than your husband.”
　　Duan Keyi was very angry and felt that he had become a laughing stock.
　　There were a few knocks on the door, and the nurse came in and said, “Someone is here to visit you.”
　　”Then I’ll leave too.” Duan Kexin stood up and left.
　　When Duan Kexin walked into the corridor, he ran into Qu Jing’s family and greeted them. Qu Jing exchanged a few words with him and then took his parents and spouse to Duan Keyi’s room.　Duan Keyi saw the four people and smiled: “How thoughtful!”
　　The Qu Jing family sat down. Jiang Huixi said again: “Oh, this happened so long ago, why didn’t you tell us? We can come to visit you! But we still have to watch the news to know about it. How strange!” Duan Keyi
　　heard “watch the news”, and his heart moved, and he felt even more embarrassed. He couldn’t help but think that Jiang Huixi was deliberately making fun of him.
　　Duan Keyi also became sarcastic and said: “Haha, my injuries are actually almost healed. It’s just some skin injuries, nothing, just lie down and it will be fine. It’s not as good as the symptoms of infertility, things that hurt the body, that’s hard to treat… By the way, I think your Qu family doesn’t seem to be a big family, and the population doesn’t seem to be very prosperous?”
　　Duan Keyi’s words were deliberately used to stab You Zhao. When You Zhao heard this, he really felt pain in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. Jiang Huixi’s face turned pale when he heard this. Qu Jing’s face also turned bad, but he didn’t say anything. But Qu’s father stood up all of a sudden, pointed at Duan Keyi and said: “You! You you!…” – He was tongue-tied and couldn’t come up with any further words after saying “you” for a long time.
　　Jiang Huixi suddenly pulled Qu’s father and said: “It’s okay, why are you in a hurry?”
　　Qu’s father then sat down again and stared at Duan Keyi fiercely.
　　Duan Keyi thought Qu’s father was a taciturn old man, but he didn’t expect him to be so vicious suddenly. However, his viciousness didn’t have much killing power, which was really funny. Duan Keyi was not afraid of Qu’s father at all. He looked back at him and said, “It’s okay! Medicine is very developed…”
　　”Yes, medicine is so developed, your leg will heal soon.” Qu Jing said, “It’s just that many poor people can’t enjoy the convenience of modern medicine, and they still rely on charity organizations like you to help. I’m afraid that your donations haven’t been given to those who really need it…”
　　”How can you talk like that?” Duan Keyi was also a little touched in the heart, and he was a little angry, “You should talk nicely to your elders, understand?”
　　”What elders or not?” Qu Jing didn’t buy this “propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame”, and only said, “If it’s really that particular, then do I have to kowtow to Xia Tao?”
　　This is sharp, which made Duan Keyi jump.
　　”By the way, you are sick, why did Hai Zong go on a trip abroad with Xia Tao?” Qu Jing said.
　　Duan Keyi was so angry that he almost fell backwards.
　　He didn’t even know that Xia Tao and You Hai went on a trip abroad. These days, Youhai didn’t come to visit him, and only said that he was on a business trip abroad. It turned out that it was not “business”, but “female business”! Duan
　　Keyi didn’t expect that he was still in the ward. Not only did Youhai not visit him, but he actually went out to play with that little bitch!
　　Duan Keyi didn’t think about it anymore. Sitting on the hospital bed, he heard Qu Jing speak so impolitely and disrespectfully, and he didn’t plan to be polite. He waved his hand and said, “I’m tired, you go.”
　　Jiang Huixi said, “Then you have a good rest.”
　　The four stood up to leave, but saw Qu’s father leaning over and stretching his hand to Duan Keyi’s bed. Duan Keyi was startled, thinking that Qu’s father was going to hit someone, but he saw that Qu’s father just took away the fruit basket on the bedside, turned around and said angrily: “I won’t give it to you even if I throw it away!”
　　Qu Jing and others left the hospital together, with embarrassed faces. The four of them got into a private car. Qu Jing sat in the driver’s seat. Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, he joked again: “I’ve told you, it’s not a good thing to come to see a doctor! He always annoys us first, and then we annoy him.”
　　Qu’s father said unconsciously: “Don’t you listen to what he says?” Then Qu’s father looked at Jiang Huixi again: “But you don’t have to pay attention to him. I think he is mentally ill.”
　　Jiang Huixi frowned and said, “How does he know so much about our family affairs?”
　　Qu Jing patted the steering wheel and said, “He’s just talking nonsense!”
　　Jiang Huixi sighed again and said, “That’s not nonsense. The Qu family has been a single-line family for nine generations…” As he said this, Jiang Huixi was actually quite sad. When Mr. Qu heard this, he hurried to comfort his wife: “What do you mean by nine generations of single-line inheritance? We are not the only ones in our family… this, this, this…all people in the world are brothers!” Mr. Qu’s words were really not expressive enough, and his consolation was not to the point. It took him a long time to utter “all people in the world are brothers”, which made Jiang Huixi laugh.
　　Father Qu felt relieved when he saw his wife smile, and said, “I think the people in the You family are abnormal, and I won’t go to see them in the future!”
　　Jiang Huixi scolded, “What are you talking about? Why are the people in the You family abnormal? Isn’t our Zhao’er good enough?”
　　Father Qu was originally upset when he was scolded by his wife, but seeing that his wife was sad just now and now she was in the mood to scold him, he became happy and said with a smile, “Yes, yes, that’s right.”
　　Jiang Huixi saw Father Qu grinning there, and said, “I’m talking to you, you’re still smiling. I don’t think you’re normal either.”
　　Father Qu changed the subject: “Jing’er, what Xia Tao were you talking about with Duan Keyi just now? Is it the painter recently?”
　　”You’re paying attention to her too?” Qu Jing was a little surprised.　”Of course!” Jiang Huixi said with a smile, “Your dad usually likes to look at paintings, calligraphy and so on.”
　　Father Qu only said: “How is this painter related to Youhai?”
　　Jiang Huixi said: “You are so stupid. I have never known any Xia Tao. But from what Jing’er said just now and Duan Keyi’s expression, I know that Xia Tao must be Youhai’s mistress!”
　　Father Qu was stunned: “Really?”
　　Qu Jing said mysteriously: “Mom is still amazing.”
　　”This is…” Father Qu was quite surprised, “Duan Keyi was in the hospital, and Youhai still took Xia Tao out to travel?” What a piece of shit!
　　Qu Jing said, “I didn’t go on a trip. I was just talking nonsense.”
　　”Just talking nonsense?” Qu’s father was even more surprised, “How can you talk nonsense?”
　　”He said that our family is poor, isn’t that nonsense? How can I not gossip about his family?” Qu Jing said with a little anger, “I just want to piss him off.”
　　Jiang Huixi found it funny, “You are not afraid of being slapped in the face. If he just checked, he would know it’s fake.”
　　”How can he check Youhai’s itinerary?” Qu Jing shook his head and said, “He can only keep it in his heart and feel uncomfortable.”
　　This is so true. ——You Zhao was secretly amazed when he heard it. He didn’t expect Qu Jing to see other people’s family affairs so clearly.
　　Qu Jing said again, “Even if Duan Keyi didn’t hold it in and plucked up the courage to ask, it would be useless.”
　　”Why would it be useless?” Qu’s father was puzzled.
　　Qu Jing replied: “Because even if Youhai told him the truth, he wouldn’t believe it. In the end, they would still have a big fight, which would make them even more unhappy.”
　　Jiang Huixi nodded and smiled: “Yes, that’s how it is between husband and wife. If there is no trust at the beginning, the doubts will grow like a snowball, and in the end it will be out of control.”
　　You Zhao listened to these words, as if they hit the nail on the head, and he was dazed for a while, until the phone in his pocket suddenly rang, You Zhao came back to his senses and hurriedly answered the phone. It was Xia Tao. You Zhao couldn’t help but feel strange. Xia Tao is now holding an exhibition abroad, and Mandy is the direct person in charge of this exhibition project. Logically speaking, if there is anything, Xia Tao would not contact him directly.
　　But based on the fact that the other party is a client, You Zhao answered the phone.
　　Xia Tao said, “Please go to the police station and bail out my brother.”
　　”Your brother?” You Zhao thought for a moment, “Xia Ling?”
　　”That’s right.” Xia Tao said slowly, “I only called you because I hope you do it secretly and don’t say anything. Don’t tell others that he has committed a crime.”
　　”Okay,” You Zhao listened to Xia Tao’s tone and answered more cautiously, “I will.”
　　You Zhao hung up the phone and said to Qu Jing, “I have to go there for work.”
　　”What is it?” Qu Jing asked casually, “So urgent? I’ll take you there.”
　　”This…” You Zhao was a little embarrassed, and after a while he said, “It’s Xia Tao, he asked me to do something.”
　　This made Qu’s father in the back row widen his eyes: What? Isn’t Xia Tao the mistress of You Hai they said? How can a mistress order You Zhao to work? Hey? ——This, this, this, this—— Qu’s father muttered to his wife in a low voice: “I really said that the You family is not a decent family!”
　　Qu Jing didn’t care and said, “What’s the big deal? Just call a subordinate to do it. Why bother you, Mr. Zhao?”
　　You Zhao said, “Xia Tao wants me to go, so I will go. He is a client.”
　　”That’s right.” Qu Jing was also a person who served clients, so of course he understood, “Then I will take you back to the company?”
　　”No, I will go by myself.” You Zhao blinked at Qu Jing, “The work content involves the privacy of customers, so it must be kept confidential.”
　　”Understand.” Qu Jing didn’t ask any more questions and kissed You Zhao’s face.
　　Looking at Qu Jing’s unsuspecting look, You Zhao felt as happy as if he had heard sweet words.
　　You Zhao got out of the car and called Xia Tao again, saying, “What did Xia Ling do wrong?”
　　Xia Tao replied, “You may not believe it when I tell you, so don’t be too surprised.”
　　”Really?”
