Black-bellied vs. Black-bellied: Ultimate ShowdownCh155 - The War Begins

Chapter 155: The War Begins

Qi Yuancheng was so angry that his eyes darkened and he almost fainted. His eyes swept around, looking what other things he could use to wake up this “unfilial son” in front of him. But then he saw Qi Yu, down on one knee, slowly kneeling to him.  MfpuJE

“Dad…” Qi Yu had both knees on the ground. He looked up at his father, and said slowly, “I know that I have failed to live up to your expectations and I know that it is difficult for you to accept this reality but I can’t convince myself anymore that I don’t love him… If you want to beat me and scold me, I’ll accept it all.  I don’t want to force you to compromise, all I ask is that you give me a few more years… I’m only twenty-two this year, you’ve crossed more bridges than I’ve walked roads. It may be that you think me ignorant, willful and asking for trouble. I know clearly that my decision at this moment may not necessarily be mature and I cannot be sure whether I can be with Fu Yansheng for the rest of my life. However, he is leaving soon, at the end of next month, he’ll leave the Si Yuan Group, he’ll leave me… I know to have a sense of propriety. If one day, I can walk away from these emotions, I swear that I will never have an ambiguous relationship with anyone of the same sex. I will marry a wife and have a child. I’ll leave it to you to arrange it… but if, if I can’t walk away from these emotions…”

At this point, Qi Yu was paused. Maybe he hadn’t though about what would happen if he couldn’t walk away or maybe, he had long thought about it and he’d long decided to accept his fate.

All that could be seen was the deep look in his eyes, his dejected expression. All that could be heard was his voice, gentle but giving voice to words that were powerful and resonating. “If I can’t walk away, I only wish that you will allow me not to marry for the rest of my life. I will never disclose my relationship with him without your agreement. I won’t let you be humiliated because of me.”

Qi Yuancheng looked at Qi Yu and saw that although he was kneeling on the ground, his back was still straight, so hopelessly stubborn. Y5TJWk

For the first time, Qi Yuancheng seemed to feel acutely that his son has grown up. He hadn’t been afraid to be seen by them; he might even have been hoping that he, as his father, would find out the truth as quickly as possible.

With trust as his spear and familial affection as his shield, he was flapping his wings and letting out his cry, launching his attack.

Qi Yuancheng’s body shook lightly. Unconsciously, he took a small step back and slumped, paralyzed, on the sofa. He was angry and disappointed because he’d been deceived; but deep down he felt somewhat gratified at his son’s wisdom, his nimbleness, his composure, his courage to come out in the open.

The fact that Qi Yu was able to say what he had just said already showed that he wasn’t acting willful, he simply couldn’t help himself.

Qi Yuancheng could almost see it, how this child must have repeatedly mulled over this speech in his heart while no one else was around; constantly waiting to gamble with these arguments when he was discovered.

In fact, the afternoon last May when Qi Yu went to the Westin to find him, the look of devotion this child displayed whenever Fu Yansheng was brought up already made him suspicious. But he’d believed in the other party and because Qi Yu had promised he wouldn’t be the same as Xiao Feng, he had relaxed his vigilance…

At this moment, Qi Yuancheng didn’t know whether he was angry at Qi Yu or if he regretted that he had taken things too lightly and hadn’t learned his lesson from what he’d experienced with his younger son. It was he himself who’d allowed Fu Yansheng’s presence near Qi Yu, who’d allowed him to capture Qi Yu. He had been the one who gave them the opportunity to get along and get to know each other, which made Qi Yu fall this deeply.

But then thinking about it, even if he had Qi Yu restrained, bound and controlled, so what? RQNiLD

If he wanted Qi Yu to grow up and become independent, he needed to let go. What should come will always come. That was the fate of this child.

Qi Feng and Ling Ke upstairs heard the ruckus and had already come out to see what was going on. What they saw was their brother kneeling in front of their father. The atmosphere in the living room was grave and solemn. They were so scared, they froze at the head of the stairs. They were at a loss as to what to do and they didn’t dare approach.

Jiang Ying’s eyes were rimmed in red because of what Qi Yu had just said. She raised her hand to cover her mouth. She looked at the father and son pair, not knowing which one should she should feel distressed for.

“Yuancheng… She persuaded softly, her voice choked with emotion, as though begging her husband for leniency. WbRtDO

The two sides are pressuring each other and both advancing or retreating was difficult for Qi Yuancheng. His heart loosened and he felt utterly defeated.

Qi Yu got up obediently. He threw an apologetic glance at his parent and walked towards the stairs. He heard soft rustling upstairs. It was Qi Feng and Ling, hurriedly running away, afraid to run into him.  m28tFL

Qi Yu returned to his room, closed the door, leaned back and took out from his pocket his phone that had been buzzing for a long time.

All of them were missed calls and unread messages from Fu Yansheng.

F1S: “Qi Yu, don’t face it alone. Let me explain to your parents…”

F1S: “It’s all my fault. It was me who hugged you impulsively.” aurdlX

F1S: “Are you okay? Let me in.”

Qi Yu walked to the window and opened the curtains. Looking down, he saw that Fu Yansheng really was standing outside in their yard,  a half smoked cigarette in his hand, looking indecisively at the villa. 

Qi Yu called the other party back. Fu Yansheng immediately put out the cigarette and answered, “Hello? Are you okay?” 4wq5f

Looking through the window at the man below, Qi Yu said quietly, “Didn’t I tell you to go back?”

Fu Yansheng: “How could I possibly not worry!? What happened? Your father didn’t do anything to you, right?”

Qi Yu: “I’m fine. I’m his son, what can he do to me?”

Fu Yansheng: “Open the door and let me in. I’ll have a word with your dad.” GP7WyH

Qi Yu frowned: “Fu Yansheng, have you fed your brain to the dogs? My dad is furious. Aren’t you just looking for death if you appear before him right now?”

Fu Yansheng: “…”

Qi Yu sighed: “Okay, I said I’m fine. He only has two sons. One is already gay. He just saw us hugging each other, it’s normal that you can’t accept it. Don’t rush in and provoke him. Hurry and go back.”

Fu Yansheng was silent for a moment, then said “en”. Xfh372

Qi Yu gritted his teeth and hung up the phone. He kept looking for a while longer. Unexpectedly, he saw Fu Yansheng just standing there, clutching his phone. It was as though he were petrified, making no attempt to leave.

Qi Yu sent him a message: “Why haven’t you left?”

F1S: “Can you see me?”

F1S: “Which room are you in?” eb5cT

Yu: “My windows are one-way see-through glass. You won’t be able to see me. I’m going to sleep. Quit standing there like some sort of door god.”

F1S: “It’s fine, I want to stay with you a little longer.”

Qi Yu’s eyes began to sting and he thought, “Aren’t you going to leave next month? Displaying your reluctance to leave now, just who are you showing it to?”

But after thinking about it, he himself stood by the window like a fool, unable to take a single step away. sgZyhC

After that night, the father and son pair started a cold war. Qi Yuancheng never mentioned Qi Yu and Fu Yansheng’s matter again, but he expressed his dissatisfaction with Qi Yu’s rebellious actions all the time with his eyes and actions.

Qi Yu didn’t dare to appear in front of his father with Fu Yansheng again. Let alone being all lovey-dovey outside, he even deliberately kept a distance from Fu Yansheng to show his so-called “sense of propriety”.

During this period, Jiang Ying also did everything to comfort Qi Yu. She even said, “when the boat reaches the bridge, it will pass underneath without trouble”, encouraging him to fight for his feelings. Qi Feng and Ling Ke were even more docile and obedient to Qi Yu, being overcautious in everything, pretending to be well-behaved and clever, doing everything they could to coax their brother into cheering up. 0BMl9a

Qi Yu had repeatedly warned Fu Yansheng against seeing his father. Otherwise, he would end up carrying away leftovers while dining out. Fu Yansheng was threatened by his lover and he was at a loss as to what to do. He also knew that he had been in the wrong so he had no choice but to remain within bounds, dutifully doing his job and managing his work.

The formation of Xiao Ye’s team proceeded smoothly according to Fu Yansheng’s original plan. After Jiang Xu took over as manager of the Weeds Team, he came up with a complete and professional business plan in just a few days. Plans for hiring coaches, the selection of their accommodations, their daily training and other such matters were all included in meticulous detail, making it so that Qi Yu could invest his money with confidence.

At the end of July, Xu Jing officially resigned. No one quite knew where he was headed to.

In early August, Su Jing led his team to Haicheng to join Mei Wei – Blooming Lotus. TkzLDx

That night, Qi Yu held a banquet dinner at Runfeng Mansion to welcome them. The Technology Development Department had seceded from the Group to form the independent Mei Wei – Blooming Lotus Technology Company. All the company’s important executives attended the banquet, including Ye Qinru, Yu Lian, Fu Yansheng and others.

During the banquet, Su Jing, as courtesy for his joining the company, took out a box, saying that wished to give them a welcome gift.

Qi Yu, seated next to him, glanced at the box and saw a pile of that small pendants in the shape of a mobile phone with the positioning function that Su Jing had given him before.

Su Jing gave a brief introduction and then handed them out one by one. When everyone learned that this thing only had positioning and sound recording, they thought it of little value. But seeing Su Jing’s enthusiasm, they decided to treat it as a small keychain or a mobile phone chain and they all thanked him warmly. 5e8ElM

When he handed one to Qi Yu, Qi Yu refused, “I don’t need it, didn’t you already give me one before?”

Su Jing still pressed one into his hand and said, “The one I gave you last time was a sample product for trial use. I made some adjustments based on my brother’s feedback. He found there was a delay in the sample product. This is an improved version, with more accurate positioning and clearer recording… Oh, speaking of, did you use the one I gave you before?”

Qi Yu: “I used it.”

Su Jing’s eyes lit up. “So you used it. How is it?” OiYTPd

Qi Yu: “Not exactly. I used it for my dog…”

Su Jing shouted angrily: “F*ck, don’t you know that I used the latest CDMA positioning technology for the chip inside that? This thing combines wireless assisted AGPS and advanced forward link AFLT triangulation, two positioning technologies! It can achieve high-precision, high-availability and high-speed positioning. It’s more accurate and useful than most mobile phones. If I sold this outside, I could sell each for at least a few hundred dollars and you actually used it for a dog!”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Qi Yu explained, “My dog ​​has Alzheimer’s. She often sneaks out and doesn’t come home. Besides, you only have positioning and recording functions. My mobile phone has those. I couldn’t find anywhere else to use it. 

His words gave voice to what everyone had been thinking and everyone laughed wildly, making Su Jing fume with anger, muttering for a while about how Qi Yu didn’t cherish his wisdom and skills. Su Jing only stopped when Qi Yu reassured him that the new one he got wouldn’t be used on any domestic animals. dCNXvb

In mid-August, in line with what Zhang Chengxuan had previously disclosed, FIA and HZ’s platform officially launched. FIA held a press conference on the same day, announcing its official entry into the field of e-commerce and technology.

When asked by a reporter what he thought of “Mei Wei – Blooming Lotus”, a platform similar to theirs, Zhang Aifa, chairman of FIA, said that FIA would quickly become the industry leader. These words could be considered as the first shot fired in the competition between Mei Wei and FIA in the field of e-commerce.

On the day of the press conference, the owner of HZ Technology, Lin Huan, was also present. As the son of the richest man in Yancheng, Lin Huan has always been the focus of major media. What was supposed to be business news for only a targeted audience, with the blessing of Lin Huan’s followers, directly became part of the day’s hot search.

At the same time, under Jiang Xu’s operation, the Weeds Club was officially established. Xiao Ye and his former teammates formed the GRASS team. The challenged Lin Huan’s LAS, promising to win the Hero Tower Championship within a year and grounding LAS beneath their feet. nYy9PL

Coincidentally, the team’s official blog released a group photo of Qi Yu with the team. He had been posing for the photo as the team’s investor on the day of their establishment. The netizens were very interested in Qi Yu, who looked like a celebrity in the photo. They quickly uncovered Qi Yu’s identity as the prince of Mei Wei. At the same time, they found out that within the business sector Lin Huan’s FIA – HZ was also competing with Qi Yu’s Mei Wei – Blooming Lotus. They even learned that Su Jing, the system architect for HZ, had defected at the last minute to join Mei Wei. There were gossip and rumors with in the esports and business circles that Qi Yu and Lin Huan, these two big business giants, were completely incompatible with each other.

Qi Yu didn’t know who leaked his phone number but after that, Qi Yu began receiving dozens of calls from entertainment reporters almost every day. The outside world tried to interview him through various channels to uncover his mystery.

It was all making Qi Yu’s head ache. He became even more low-key and amidst all these dramatic ups and downs, the day of Fu Yansheng’s departure from Shan Yu was fast approaching.
