Husband, Spend Some Gold Coins

Tao Gaofei originally wanted to reprimand Xie Yunzheng, but her intuition was sharp, and she couldn’t help but glance forward, seeing Xie Qi.

Compared with Xie Qi, who was unfamiliar with her and had to think for a moment before realizing who she was, Tao Gaofei was deeply impressed by Xie Qi.

This was because Xie Qi had a beautiful and handsome face, and Xie Yunzheng… she didn’t know what the situation was. She and Xie Dai were obviously not bad in appearance, but their son’s looks were much more ordinary. At most, he was just delicate. Maybe when he grew up, he would be more handsome in the future – but his facial features were just like that, and he wouldn’t be particularly handsome when he grew up.

This made the fact that Xie Qi was good-looking a bit hateful.

Even her son’s looks couldn’t compare to Xie Qi’s.

Fortunately, Xie Dai didn’t use this to criticize Zhengzheng, but Tao Gaofei was unwilling to do so.

This time, she unexpectedly met Xie Qi on the road, and Tao Gaofei didn’t know how to deal with it for a moment.

After all, it wasn’t a secret that Xie Qi had married Qin Yizhi.

After weighing the situation, Tao Gaofei squeezed out a smile with unclear meaning and said, “…Qiqi, I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

Xie Qi walked up to them. Xie Yunzheng also knew how to look at Tao Gaofei’s face. Seeing that she had a good attitude, he relaxed and weakly called Xie Qi, “Brother…”

Xie Qi found it funny and said in a somewhat sarcastic tone, “Mrs. Xie didn’t treat me like this before.”

Tao Gaofei’s face turned ugly. “In the past… I did something wrong before. Don’t worry about it… By the way, this is your brother, his name is Xie Yunzheng.”

She was a little annoyed that Xie Yunzheng had called Xie Qi brother, but rationally, she thought it was a good thing because it didn’t make her look bad, so she naturally followed in, hoping to solidify her familial relationship with Xie Qi.

However, what surprised her was that Xie Qi didn’t even look at Xie Yunzheng. He said coldly, “No, please don’t. I don’t have a brother.”

His tone was so cold that Xie Yunzheng was stunned for a moment. His eyes immediately turned red, and he said blankly, “Brother, you gave me cake before.”

Xie Qi was unmoved. As long as he wanted to, he could be more indifferent than anyone else. He said in a calm tone, “That’s because I didn’t know you were the mistress’s son. Now I know. I came here to ask Mrs. Xie for money. I bought a bag of bread and cakes for your son, which cost a total of 89 yuan. I hope Mrs. Xie can give me the money.”

Tao Gaofei was stunned. When she realized it, she gritted her teeth and asked Xie Qi, “Even if I had any grudges with you before, the child is innocent, and he is your brother. Why did you say this in front of him??!”

Xie Qi asked back, “Isn’t it true? When you were pregnant and forced to have an abortion, my mother had not yet divorced. Aren’t you a mistress? He is seven years old and is no longer a child. He should know this. Is there anything wrong with being a mistress’s son?”

Tao Gaofei’s breathing became rapid. She tried to suppress it, with a smile on her face, and said, “Yes… I did something wrong at that time. I want to apologize to you and your mother for this matter, but Zhengzheng… He is innocent. He is only seven years old and still a child. You can hate me, but please don’t hate Zhengzheng. He likes you very much and wants to recognize you as his brother.”

Xie Yunzheng was already confused. Tao Gaofei pulled him and asked, “Zhengzheng, do you like brother? Do you want to recognize your brother?”

Saying this, Tao Gaofei pinched Xie Yunzheng’s arm with a strong hint in her eyes.

Xie Yunzheng said, “…I think.”

But he also knew that Xie Qi didn’t want to see him and hated him. His tears were falling like beads without a thread. Compared with Tao Gaofei’s clear purpose, he was completely at a loss.

Xie Qi stood still, said “Heh,” and then said, “I’m sorry, I won’t live in harmony with the mistress’s children. Don’t cry either. I didn’t even cry when your mother kicked me out of the house.”

Tao Gaofei’s sharp voice sounded, “That’s enough!”

After all, she couldn’t hold back. Xie Qi kept saying “mistress” every time—it was like stabbing a knife into her chest. Finally, she couldn’t bear it anymore. She shifted from forbearance and flattery to a sharp tone and said, “Don’t scream mistress, mistress. At least when I got married, Zhengzheng hadn’t been born yet. He wasn’t an illegitimate child but a legitimate one. If you want to blame someone, blame your mother, the loser. She couldn’t even hold onto a man, so she let me snatch him away. She deserved it! Don’t get too proud. Asking Zhengzheng to recognize you as his brother is just because you’ve married a good husband. Do you think you are worthy of being Zhengzheng’s brother?”

Xie Qi actually breathed a sigh of relief and said, “That’s right. I’m not familiar with your depressed look from before. It’s quite strange.”

As he spoke, he twitched the corners of his lips and showed a sarcastic smile to Tao Gaofei.

Tao Gaofei breathed heavily and also laughed, with a bit of sarcasm. “You’re just like your mother. If you were a woman, you could have stood firm after giving birth to a child for your husband. But it turns out you’re a boy. Haha. Don’t catch anything in the end. It’d be interesting if you left the house like your mother.”

Xie Qi was not provoked by her and said very calmly, “I won’t bother you anymore. By the way, please give me the money. It’s 89 yuan. Mrs. Xie should be able to pay it, right?”

Tao Gaofei ripped off the necklace from her neck, threw it to the ground, and said sarcastically, “This necklace is worth hundreds of thousands. Is it enough?”

Xie Qi took a look and smiled, “Sorry, I want my 89. If you don’t give it to me… I’ll ask my husband to ask for it.”

It was just a threat, but Tao Gaofei seemed to have been poured with cold water, her expression stiff, and she couldn’t say anything.

Xie Qi took out his phone and said, “Scan the QR code to pay.”

Tao Gaofei took out her phone with trembling fingers, scanned the code, and returned the 89 yuan.

Xie Qi glanced at the necklace on the ground and said, “You threw the necklace yourself. Isn’t it embarrassing to pick it up?”

Tao Gaofei sneered stubbornly, “I’ll give it to you.”

With that, she took Xie Yunzheng and left.

Xie Qi raised his voice and said to Tao Gaofei, “If you don’t pick it up, I’ll let my teammates pick it up. Thank you for the gift.”

After he finished speaking, he clearly saw Tao Gaofei’s shoulders shaking.

Xie Qi waved to others to come over and pick up the necklace, then sold it for a thousand yuan. Xie Qi bought a cup of milk tea.

If Tao Gaofei knew about it, she would probably get angry.

Thinking of this, he was happy.

When he turned around and told Qin Yizhi about it, Qin Yizhi asked, “Don’t you want a younger brother?”

Xie Qi: “? What did you say? Why would I want a younger brother? Do I lack one? As long as I’m willing, a lot of people are willing to call me brother, including dad.”

Qin Yizhi said thoughtfully, “Okay.”

Xie Qi was also worried that Qin Yizhi would think he was indifferent, so he explained a few words, “I know Xie Yunzheng is innocent, but with a mother like that, I can’t have any good feelings toward him. And blood relations aren’t everything. I can’t treat him differently just because we have half the same blood. That would be too stupid.”

Qin Yizhi: “Well, you did the right thing.”

Xie Qi said, “After this experience, I discovered that I really hate children. Fortunately, I have no children now.”

Qin Yizhi: “…”

Xie Qi: “What a coincidence, you also have no descendants.”

Qin Yizhi: “…”

Qin Yizhi made a fist with his fingers to block the raised corners of his lips.
