Chapter 231: See You Never (1)

Translator: Sissy That Walk

T/N: hey kids, just a quick explanation about “yeye” that’s gonna show up in this chapter. “yeye”, Chinese pinyin, means grandfather, in this chapter it refers to Di Bian’s father, i.e. Qiuhe’s grandfather from his father’s side. So, “grandpa” in this book refers to Fan Da, Qiuhe’s grandfather from his mom’s side. To avoid any misunderstanding, I used “yeye” to refer to Qiuhe’s grandfather from his father’s side.

This drug accident really took a heavy toll on Di Bian, he aged badly. He had grown gray hair, his complexion looked terrible and he struggled to raise his head in his wheelchair.

Di Qiuhe looked at him with indifference, he waved to the bodyguards who were waiting outside, “Guys, come on in, find out where the cameras are.”

Several bodyguards marched into the ward, they walked past Di Bian who was sitting by the window and got to work, soon they found three hidden cameras and recording pen. They handed those equipment to Di Qiuhe.

Di Bian wiped the sweat on his forehead, he stammered, “Qiuhe, these cameras are installed by the police officers to accumulate evidence against Xiasong and Qin Li, they are not for you, don’t get me wrong.”

“I’m not getting anyone wrong.” Di Qiuhe threw the cameras on the ground, he stopped the bodyguards who were about to leave the ward, “Guys, not so fast, check the wheelchair for me please.”

Di Qiuhe’s eyes widened in fright, a touch of bewilderment flashed across his face. The bodyguards stopped him when he was about to touch his wheelchair armrest.

A feeble patient of course was no match for a well trained bodyguard, seconds later, the micro camera and record pen that hidden in the armrest were thrown on the ground by the bodyguards.

“Boys, your job is done here, thank you very much.” rejoined Di Qiuhe, he walked past the shattered cameras and looked at Di Bian disdainfully out of the corner of his eyes, “Di Bian, enough with your little act, you and I both know it very well we have never shared a father-son bond since I was a kid. Don’t worry though, I’m not settling scores with you here today in your ward, the police officers are right next door, feel free to cry for help any time.” with that he stepped back, sitting on a sofa that was at least five steps away from Di Bian.

Di Bian held his head high feebly, seeing Di Qiuhe sitting far away from him, no way could he pull his filthy trick to pose as an incident-faking extortionist on Di Qiuhe, he clenched his fist, and said tearfully “Qiuhe, do you have to act like this? We are, after all, father and son… ….”

“Di Bian, I’ve renounced your family for well over a year now.” demurred Qiuhe, he went straight to the point, “So, Lawyer Wang tole me that you wanted to see me, I’m all ears now. Please quit beating around the bush, any trick, any bullshit would only disgust me, my patience and tolerance on you is very poor. Don’t even try to stir up some drama on social media, don’t even think about that, your pathetic little trick would only make people loath you even more.”

And there went Di Bian’s fake tears, Qiuhe’s speech was right to the point, it was useless shedding fake tears. His face turned ferocious all of a sudden, he tried to defend himself, “Qiuhe, you are not like this… why are you talking to me like a changed person?”

“Because I had been faking it so for long, I thought you’ve figured that one out when you drove me off your house.” said Di Qiuhe with his long legs crossed, he said in a domineering manner, “I didn’t actually respect you, I didn’t actually like your family, stooping to compromise my interested for the best outcome of the whole was also fake. But one thing was true, the determination to renounce you! After yeye died, I struggled every day in the presence of you and your family.”

Di Bian’s face turned red, then he was aflame like he was caught red-handed in public, he screamed, “You lair! I raised you, I gave you everything that I had, and you had been treating me like a fool, for all these years? Why did you do that to me?”

“Why did I do that to you?” fumed Di Qiuhe, then he squinted with a cold smile on his face, “To live of course! If I did not act all gullible and sift, your good wife Qin Li would have finished me a long time ago. The only reason that you allowed me to grow up was to use me as a chess piece! Di Bian, it was mom and yeye who had raised me and gave me everything that they had, how dare you to take that credit! For the past decade or so, have you had once being a good father to me? All you did was favoring Di Xiasong and Di Chunhua! Do you know why I acted all gullible and soft, because I know you fear me, once I act like a real man, you would panic and finish me.”

That speech had rendered Di Bian completely speechless, it made him face his past and the reason why he feared Qiuhe so much that he had not been a good father to him.

Di Bian now had realized he was being too optimistic by thinking he could repair their relationship by this meet up, he thought Qiuhe would buy his bullshit and tears. And he also felt Qiuhe was mocking him by pointing out how he had favored Di Xiasong and Di Chunhua, but he retorted habitually, “Qiuhe, my son, it was not that bad… … it was impossible for me to… …”

“Impossible is nothing, Di Bian, quit lying to yourself, you know your feelings about me very well, how you actually had treated me was more horrible than I just said.” Di Qiuhe found Di Bian quite funny, he stood up and said, “Looks like you had miscalculated, you just want to test me whether I am still that little push over you could boss around, I’m in no mood for that bullshit, see you never.” with that he turned around and ready to leave.

Little had Di Bian seen that coming, and he heard Di Qiuhe said “see you never”, he panicked and screamed, “No, you cannot just leave me like this, what do you mean by ‘see me never’, you are my son, I’m not dead, you cannot get rid of me.”

Di Qiuhe halted and turned around to look at him, “not dead YET.”

“What… what do you mean… …”, Di Bian’s heart pounded. Thinking about how his other son Di Xiasong had drugged him, he completely lost it, and his face distorted.

Di Qiuhe saw him through and sneered, “Haha, relax! I’m not Di Xiasong, I won’t risk the happiness of my life for a scoundrel like you. What I’m trying to say is, you are dead to me now, I know I have to support you by law, and I will do that with the minimum amount stipulated by law, that’s all, Mr. Di.”

“No! No way! Come back, come back, you!” Di Bian suddenly sprang up from his wheelchair, and he fell on the ground after he staggered a few steps trying to stop Qiuhe from leaving, he crawled on the floor and cried, “Qiuhe, my son, don’t do this to me, I’m sorry, I’m sorry for what I have done to you… please come back… …”

Di Qiuhe watched the show he was putting on and looked around the ward, “Ah~ it looks like my bodyguards haven’t found out all the cameras, but mind you Mr. Di, my bodyguards had installed a little interference unit just now, the camera you have installed will capture nothing.”

Di Bian, who was crying on the ground for camera suddenly turned stiff.
