C125 It Was Unclean and Unclean

Just a glance from afar was enough to make Qiao Lin's heart tremble. He did not forget that five years ago, this person had sent someone to break into his rented house and knocked him out before taking him away by force in order for him to return to the Qiao family.

When he woke up, he found himself locked in the house of the Qiao family with his luggage. The phone in the house had been unplugged and the phone taken away.

It took him almost a month to get out of there. In fact, it was thanks to Qiao Yan's mother that he was able to leave. That woman didn't want him to appear in that house again, so she quietly let him go when Qiao Zhicheng wasn't home.

Five years had passed. He had thought that Qiao Zhicheng had given up on his son and would not come looking for him again.

Although Qiao Lin was afraid of this father, he still had to face what he had to face.

He took a deep breath and walked towards the coffee shop across the road.

As soon as they walked into the coffee shop, the father and son looked at each other, and Qiao Lin could tell that Qiao Zhicheng did not look too good.

Since he was not happy to see him, why ask him out?

Qiao Zhicheng sat in his seat, looking high and mighty. He didn't greet him and waited for him to walk over.

Qiao Lin was already used to this.

"What exactly do you want by calling me out?" Qiao Lin came to the table and asked.

"Let's sit down and talk." Qiao Zhicheng looked at the seat across from him with a serious expression, and the two cups of coffee still steaming on the table. "I didn't know what you liked to drink, so I ordered the same coffee for you."

They had been father and son for more than ten years before Qiao Lin left that house, but as a father, Qiao Zhicheng did not know his son's preferences at all.

That was right, ever since he had arrived at that house, Qiao Lin, who did not like it, had to bear it and could not get what he liked.

Qiao Lin sat down, "When I was eighteen years old, I made it very clear when I decided to leave that house that I would not go back. Anyway, I am also an illegitimate child, so you can just pretend that I don't exist and never had a son like me. Your family will be very happy without me, won't they? Why do you have to go back to me and make everyone miserable? "

"What are you talking about? No matter how you came to this world, the fact that you are my son cannot be changed no matter what. This father-son relationship is not something that can be broken just because you say so. I have not bothered you for the past five years. You should know my purpose. You don't have to go home, but you have to enter the company of the Qiao family. Your grandfather founded the company and I was in charge of it." Qiao Zhicheng's tough tone did not allow him to refuse.

Qiao Lin laughed when he heard this, "The company of the Qiao family is something that many people yearn for, but I don't need it, and I'm not the only child you have. Besides me and Qiao Yan, I wonder if you have any other children outside. Why are you looking for me? I haven't even graduated from high school, and I'm just a piece of shit. Stop joking. You're looking for me. I think you want your company to go bankrupt."

" If you don't know how to do it, you can learn it. Is there anything you are born with? Even if you don't want to inherit the company and find a stable job in the company, it's still better than your current life, isn't it, actor? You're just like your mother, you value fame so much? You're just being chased by a bunch of youngsters. In the end, that's just an insignificant role." Qiao Zhicheng seemed to look down on the identity of an actor.

"This is your real purpose, right?" Qiao Lin had never believed that Qiao Zhicheng would place the property of the Qiao family on his illegitimate child as a bet. That was just a bait that Qiao Zhicheng thought he was a greedy person to lure him back to the Qiao family and make him lose his freedom. However, he did not care about it and would not fall for it, "You just think that I made a fool of myself by acting outside, but this is the life that I have chosen. I have no qualms about living a good and bad life. I have already said that the Qiao family has nothing to do with me, but you just won't let me go. Do you want me to go to the police station and change my surname to Qiao?"

Qiao Zhicheng did not answer him. Instead, he placed an old phone on the table and pushed it in front of him. "You should still remember this phone, right? A few days ago, I heard from your aunt that she saw on the internet that something happened between you and an actor called Qin Lang. The name sounded familiar to me, so I found the phone that you left at home a few years ago. It had been a long time since I last used it, and it was already broken, but fortunately, it could still be repaired. After I confiscated your phone, there was indeed a person named Qin Lang who often called and texted me. I remember warning you five years ago that the entertainment industry is very dirty, men and women alike, stay away from these people."

Qiao Lin did not expect to see the phone that his father had taken away from him five years later. If the phone had not been taken away, perhaps he would have understood his feelings for Qiao Zhicheng as well as Qin Lang did. He would not have deliberately avoided Qiao Zhicheng for five years because he was afraid that Qiao Zhicheng's warning would implicate Qin Lang.

Qiao Lin looked through the phone records and text message box. The last contact was Qin Lang, but he did not pick up his phone. Qiao Zhicheng only read the text message and only now did he know the content.

Qin Lang asked, "Why are you pretending not to know me? Have you forgotten what happened the night before I left? You kissed me and said that you didn't want me to leave, but how did I become a stranger now?"

This was the last text message that Qin Lang had sent him. The message had been received five years ago, the spring after he and Qin Lang had separated. On the day that they met again in the crew, he pretended not to know Qin Lang. He did not know that Qin Lang was still contacting him and texting him even after he had not been in contact with Qin Lang for a few months. He did not expect that even after his phone had been confiscated by Qiao Zhicheng for a few months, his phone was still being monitored.

The phone number had long since become an empty number, but the things that Qin Lang had left behind in his phone had now resurfaced.

He suddenly felt his heart ache for Qin Lang. That fool had indeed waited for him for five years. How did he spend the past 1800 days and nights?

Since Qiao Zhicheng had read these texts before, he should be able to understand Qin Lang's feelings for him. The reason why he called him out today was very obvious. "I'm sorry, no matter how dirty you think this circle is, and how you think of Qin Lang, I may have to disappoint you, because I'm no longer clean with him. Just as you thought, I could fight and not snatch from that family and not blame anyone because I knew that my appearance had caused a lot of trouble for many people. My appearance was a mistake. But that doesn't mean that I don't have something I want to protect. I don't want anything from the Qiao family, but please don't touch my things."
