Contradictions, Disagreements, Solutions Come from an Early August Bonus Chapter 1

When Catherine compared herself to a kind of goods and even used words like "for sale" to describe her mother's actions, the atmosphere in the room was depressing to the extreme.

Her father glanced at the woman who had been with him for more than twenty years and wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing and took on the responsibility that he should not bear.

There is a saying in Bayer Federation - "When you have to bow to life, please don't be stingy about letting your knees and forehead touch the ground."

This sentence may be a bit too pessimistic, but life is like this. Since you have chosen to compromise, then compromise thoroughly.

As a man who has lost the power to be the backbone of the family, he has naturally realized that he has lost the power to control the family extremely quickly. When faced with the conflict between the new generation of "dominators" and a "surprising person" who lives behind the scenes but may change the status quo, he chooses silence.

Catherine's mother shook her head after silence, "I never thought about it that way. I told you that Luo Mu is a very good young man."

"He is a little older than you, but he knows how to love a girl. He has a stable job and an independent house. You don't have to suffer like others. Isn't this good?"

Her voice quickly changed from a faint and uncertain tone to a strong voice, and her voice gradually became louder.

In fact, from a certain perspective, Luo Mu is indeed a very suitable marriage partner for some families, but this is only for some families and only for some people.

Catherine shook his head, "I never have any hope in your choice. You have already proven that you were wrong once. Who knows if this will be the second time."

The first time was naturally about Lin Qi. Of course, Catherine himself made mistakes, but this sentence made the woman who was already full of regrets suddenly become angry.

"I'm not the Lord. I can't see things that are so far away. I only know that you were really having a hard time in that situation at that time. Am I also at fault for my daughter?"

Catherine shook her head, "Then why won't you make a mistake the second time?" She said without giving the woman a chance, and took over the right to speak in a calmer but tougher way, "You have told me since I was a child not to sell your body for money, but today you have done something shameful. I thought we would be a different family."

As she said this, she stood up, and for the first time there was an expression of disappointment on her face. Perhaps before most children realize the cruelty of reality, they will think that they and their families are fundamentally different from other families in society.

This illusion will not be broken by them until the day they recognize the reality.

Catherine's words made the couple feel an uncomfortable feeling of reproach from conscience.

Living in such a neighborhood, what parents fear most is that their children will take the wrong path, but they themselves have set the wrong example.

Catherine turned and walked towards the entrance. It was almost dark outside. A girl without a legitimate family would choose to leave home and go to the street at this time. This made the couple suddenly nervous.

Catherine's mother quickly stood up, ran two steps and grabbed Catherine's wrist, "Where are you going?", then she emphasized again, "You can't go out!"

Catherine waved her hand and shook off her mother's arm. She glanced sideways at the woman and smiled, "Since you decided to sell me at a good price, why not sell it at a higher price?"

Her words were a bit scary, and the woman even forgot to stop her and watched her leave the house at this moment.

On the other side, Lin Qi, who had just finished socializing, returned home. In the afternoon, Qiao Geliman called him and told him that someone was interested in the land in his hand and that they could sit down and chat.

He attended the dinner organized by Qiao Geliman, but he was not interested in the person on the other side of the table or what the other person said.

Obviously, the other party may want to buy the land for Qiao Geliman's sake, or for some other reason, but the other party only offered a price of 1.6 million that was too low for Lin Qi to accept.

That bastard used a arrogant tone full of charity and wanted to buy this land at an outrageously low price, as if what he did was a gift to Lin Qi.

Facing this kind of person, Lin Qi would not be too polite to him.

Rich experience made him understand the truth. Those who look down on you now will still look down on you even if you make changes. It will not be until you step on the other person's face and spit at him that he will stop despising you.

Before this, the more you do, the more it will appear to the other party as a guilty and worthless struggle and resistance.

Therefore, Lin Qi directly terminated the dinner at the appropriate time and maintained the most basic etiquette.

After the meal, Qiao Geliman also expressed his apology to Lin Qi. He did not know that the person he found was just like a fool. Of course, he also said that he would continue to find some suitable people for Lin Qi.

About eight o'clock, Lin Qi was ready to take a rest, and at this time, the phone rang.

He was a little surprised. It was rare for someone to call him at this time, but he still picked up the phone. A very familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, which was Mr. Fox.

"Didn't you sleep?" Mr. Fox's voice was confident and loud. He had been doing well recently and was in good spirits. "An old man like me would not go to bed so early. You have missed too many wonderful things in life, friend Lin Qi."

Lin Qi laughed a few times and did not continue to discuss this topic. If there was no entertainment, he would basically go to bed early.

Sleeping is a very "nourishing" process. If it is just a waste of time, it is unnecessary behavior.

"Is something okay?", he asked casually. He didn't think Fox would have anything to do when he called at this time. It was most likely to ask him to go out and relax.

Mr. Fox had a vague feeling from Lin Qi's brief laughter that he was being watched by kind eyes again. He shook his head to throw this absurd idea out of his mind and talked about business, "Do you know a girl named Catherine?"

"There was a man looking for you on the street at night. You know, I am somewhat famous now. The children told me about it, and I also invited him here. Maybe you will be interested in this matter?"

Mr. Fox's business is getting bigger and bigger due to its cooperation with Lin Qi. In addition, in order to restore their image in front of the public, Federal Bureau of Investigation and Federal Revenue Service severely raided Sabine City's money laundering dealers. This has also expanded Mr. Fox's "territory" many times.

There are more people serving him, including ordinary, serious employees, and some employees who wander the streets all day long.

The cooperation between Mr. Fox and Lin Qi has become a classic case in the eyes of some people, and they also know Lin Qi.

Later in the evening, a beautiful girl approached several young people who were obviously street power on the street and asked them if they knew Lin Qi or Mr. Fox, which made them wary.

They took the girl to Mr. Fox. Because they didn't know who the girl was, they didn't dare to act rashly.

When Mr. Fox was investigating Lin Qi before, he was not interested in his ex-girlfriend who had broken up, so he missed this knowledge point. Now he is calling just to confirm whether Lin Qi knows this girl.

Hearing this, Lin Qi looked down at the ring on his little finger, smiled and sighed, "Arrange for someone to send her to my house..."

More than twenty minutes later, the ex-boyfriend and girlfriend who had been separated for more than a month met again. There was not much embarrassment, but a trace of curiosity and exploration.

"It looks like you're doing well!" Catherine didn't express her regrets or other emotions like an ordinary girl. She looked at this magnificent villa and couldn't help but praise it.

Lin Qi Wearing casual clothes, he curled his lips, walked to the bar and took out two cups, "Juice? Wine? Or coffee?" He poured some wine for himself, "I don't know how to use a grinder, if you want coffee, you have to do it yourself."

"Let's have some wine, I don't like coffee." Catherine walked around and sat on Living Room's sofa. The texture of the leather sofa and the full and elastic filling inside made her fondle it. She stroked it a few times and patted it. "Life is hard enough, why don't you make it easier for yourself?"

Lin Qi came over with two cups, one cup was given to her, and the other cup was held in his hand.

After a simple clink of glasses, each took a sip.

Perhaps it was the psychological effect of alcohol. Catherine quickly explained his purpose, "I didn't expect you to change so quickly. Do you have any tips?"

Lin Qi thought about it seriously, "If I want to tell you the secret..." He had a very special smile on his face and lowered his voice, "Actually, I am the illegitimate son of God. Don't tell others."

Catherine couldn't help laughing, sighed with a smile, and took another sip of wine, "You always like to joke..."

She suddenly closed her mouth when she said this, because this sentence made the atmosphere in the room a little sad, "I said something I shouldn't have said, and I apologize for that."

Lin Qi was very generous, "I forgive you."

The two looked at each other, a little strange, but also a little familiar.

"My mother was going to sell me to a fool on the condition that my father would get a job."

"It's for sale anyway, so I think you'll give it a higher price, right?"
