3. From Rubbish to Rarity

Xie He nearly went over the speed limit as he rushed over to Deng Jingwens company building, making it there in about 10 minutes. He dashed up the stairs and glanced at Deng Jingwens office. Seeing that there were still people standing guard by Deng Jingwens office door, it was evident that the woman had yet to leave. Very good. He had made it to the battlefield before the drama had reached its end! Xie He quickly arranged his expression and then headed over directly!

However, before he could enter, he was unsurprisingly blocked by one of the bodyguards, Deng

Shao

, you cant enter right now.

Xie He was a person with good character. So, he did not inconvenience his fathers subordinates and instead directly shouted at the door, Dad! Dad! Ive come and yet your people unexpectedly wont let me in!

The bodyguards complexion darkened. They were just following orders, OK?!

Not even a minute after he shouted, Liu Yan opened the door halfway with a complicated and pitying gaze, Come in.

Xie He seemed completely ignorant of the situation. He even rolled his eyes at the two bodyguards, pleased with himself as he swaggered into the room!

The middle-aged woman had been looking at Xie He with a strange and excited gaze ever since the moment Xie He had walked into the room. Xie He felt very unhappy upon being stared at like this and fiercely glared at her, What are you looking at!? Theres something wrong with you, ah! Then, he turned around and gave Deng Jingwen a fawning smile, Dad~

He switched gears so fast that it left people stupefied!

Deng Jingwen looked at him, expression unchanging, as if nothing had happened and nodded, Youve come.

Mn! Xie He smiled happily and approached Deng Jingwen, eyes curved into a smile, with an expression of antic.i.p.ation, I heard that the car will be here soon.

Deng Jingwen nodded his head.

Liu Yan, who was standing off to the side, nearly wanted to cover his eyes. This spectacle before him was too horrible to endure! Only after doing his utmost was he able to force himself to remain quiet. However, although he could endurethere was someone who didnt want to endure at all!

The woman suddenly erupted into a loud, ear-piercing laugh. She laughed so hard that she was rocking back and forth, HahahaThisthis is your sonhahahayou unexpectedly raised a useless personhahahaits hilarious to death.

Xie He did not like to hear these words. Although he was a profligate rich boy, he had never had anyone point at him and scold him to his face. Thus, he immediately exploded in anger, Seeking death, ah! Uttering nonsense!

The woman didnt pay him any attention. Her gaze was firmly affixed onto Deng Jingwen, smile queer, If you dont believe me, then do a paternity test. Everything will be clear then. Theres no need to ask about where your true son has gone. Even if I die, I will never tell you! Hahahahaeven you will see such a day! This is your retribution, ah! Hahaha.

Xie He was stupefied, What paternity test?

Deng Jingwen gave him a profound look and then commanded Liu Yan, Take her downstairs.

Yes, Liu Yan pulled the woman away by the arm. All the way, the woman laughed hysterically. Her laugh made Xie He scared.

Xie He pouted unhappily, Who is this woman, ah? Really detestable.

Deng Jingwen smiled silently.

Xie He went to hug Deng Jingwens arm like usual and intimately raised his head to say, Dad, why arent you answering me?

Deng Jingwen looked at the boys face as it came up close. Now that he thought about it, this child really did not look like him. He did not doubt the womans words. So close to death, she would not tell a lie that would be so easily broken. However, he had always been the type of person that paid particularly close attention to evidence. He was not the type to take words at face value. Thus, it would be necessary to take a paternity test.

Deng Jingwen paused for a while and then said, Since youve come, lets go to the hospital, ba.

Xie He gazed at him questioningly as if he wanted to refute. Worry emerged in his eyes, Dad, are you not feeling well? Are you sick?

No, Deng Jingwen chuckled, Were going to take a paternity test.

Instantly, Xie He was dumbfounded, and he stammered, Dadwhat are you saying, ahI dont understandwhy would we need to do a paternity test.

Because you might not be my child, Deng Jingwen said nonchalantly as if he didnt know just how cruel an effect it would be on the boy.

Xie He suddenly let go and took a step back, his expression extremely ugly, Dad, dont make this kind of joke.

Deng Jingwen was not a sympathetic person. If he was not his child, then there was no need to tolerate him. He stood up in front of Xie He. His tall stature was extremely oppressing towards Xie He. Deng Jingwen calmly looked at the lost boy, who was trembling out of panic and fear, and spoke apathetically, I dont make jokes.

This calm tone that left no room for questioning finally pushed Xie He, who had been the brink of collapsing, to shout suddenly, Im not going! He then turned around and ran out the door. However, after only taking a few steps, he was seized by the bodyguards waiting outside!

The bodyguards had always thought Xie He was displeasing to the eye. They each mercilessly grabbed hold of one of his arms and dragged him back inside!

Deng Jingwen walked towards the door and side-eyed the boy, Lets go, ba.

Xie He was escorted to the hospital against his will. All along the way, no matter how he struggled and pleaded, Deng Jingwens expression did not have even the slightest c.h.i.n.k in it. At that moment, he finally understood that the always-doting-and-indulgent man had become unfeeling towards him. Therefore, there was no reason to cry. He wiped his runny nose and tears away, Dadlets go back home, OK. How could I not be your son, neDaddy.

Well know whether you are my son or not in half an hour, Deng Jingwen raised his hand to look at his watch.

Xie He was restrained by the bodyguards. He realized that this man would not change his mind. In the end, he gave up struggling and dazedly knelt on the ground, disappointed.

Liu Yan, who had finished dealing with the woman before rus.h.i.+ng over, saw this kind of Xie He. His expression was complicated. Although he did not like this wastrel of a child before and felt that he was unworthy of being Mr. Dengs sonif he really wasnt Mr. Dengs son, with Mr. Dengs temperament, there was no way he would continue to tolerate him. When Liu Yan thought about what would await Deng Zhuo, he suddenly felt a bit sympathetic.To fall from heaven and into h.e.l.l, a normal person would not be able to bear it. How could Deng Zhuo who had been kept carefully in the palms of his fathers hands from birth and had never experienced any sort of setbacks bear this, ne?

This childhe was afraid that he would be unable to take this kind of attack, ba.

The last few hours felt like a lifetime to Xie He. This lasted until the doctor came with the report in hand.

He raised his eyes to helplessly stare at those two pieces of paper in the doctors hands, praying that they would say that he was still Deng Jingwens son. If it was like this, he would definitely curse his father for a while and reproach him for treating him so cruelly! He endured and endured, patiently waiting for Deng Jingwen to finish reading the report. Then, when he saw a shallow smile appear on Deng Jingwens lips, his eyes immediately brightened, Daddy! Im your son, right?! That woman must have been deceiving you! You must have been mistaken!

Deng Jingwen placed the report down with a smile. He gently parted his lips and spat out three extremely ruthless words, No, youre not.

He watched as the boys expression instantly became pale with despair. That death-white facesuited those star-like black eyes and vibrantly red lips. His slightly trembling body was like a withered flower gently swaying in the wind. It made people want to ruin him with even more force. Before, he had thought that there was nothing good about this son of his aside from his face. Right now, he thought that having a good-looking face was a kind of strong point. At least, it was pleasing to the eye.

He originally thought that Xie He was a useless person. He never expected thathe was actually quite the rarity, ah.

Ding, the target, Deng Jingwens Favourability Value +10. The current Favourability Value is 35.

Deng Jingwen stood up,walked towards Xie He, and towered above him.

Xie Hes lips quivered. He knelt down on the ground without any courage to stand up. His eyes were misty, covered in a layer of tears. Because he had been crying, his voice was slightly hoa.r.s.e, Dadyoure lying to meright.

Deng Jingwen slowly shook his head, Dont call me Dad.

No, youre my Dad! You are! Xie He gritted his teeth stubbornly. How could he not be his father? How could this be?!

From the moment he developed self-awareness, Deng Jingwen had been his father. He wors.h.i.+pped and adored him. How could he stop being his father just like that?! If he really wasnt his father, then what should Deng Zhuo do? It was like the sky had suddenly collapsed!

It was as if only by starting this ridiculous dispute could he find a reason to press on.

Deng Jingwen showed him a helpless expression. He had absolutely no intention of continuing this dispute with him and turned to leave.

Following Deng Jingwens departure, everyone else reacted like they had received some kind of order, all filing out as well. Very soon, the corridor was desolate, leaving only Xie He. After a long time, he finally realized that he had already been abandoned. How could this be!? He suddenly stood up and rushed out. However, all that awaited for him was the scene of Deng Jingwens car already pulling away. No matter what, he would be unable to catch up. In the end, he could only fall to the ground, cutting a sorry figure.

dada

, what should we do now, ne? QAQ

Xie HeNow, we must use our trump card. One word: annoy.Hell let Deng Jingwen know just how terrifying shameless

sham goods

can be!

444Oh! Anyway, Host

dada

, you really guessed it right, ne! The Favourability Value rose a lot today! O(_)O~

Xie HeBaby, youre so cute that it soothes my heart.

444What did he say now??? _(:)_

Xie He obviously did not look at the situation so superficially like the system did. Deng Jingwens reaction was actually outside of his expectations. According to common sense, if normal people found out that the child they had raised for eighteen years was actually a subst.i.tute placed by their enemy, even if the child was innocent, they would take their anger out on them. He thought that Deng Jingwens Favourability Value should have fallen and at least hurt Deng Zhuo in a fit of rage. In this case, only after he calmed down and accepted this outcome would his capture reach a breakthrough and cause the Favourability Value to rise. However, what happened in realitythe drop in Favourability Value was omitted.

From the moment Deng Jingwen found out, his mood did not show any fluctuations. He did not act as though he was grieving for the death of his biological son nor did he get angry at the fact that Deng Zhuo was not his son. He accepted everything calmly. If one had to describe the changes in his emotions, it could be split into two steps:

Oh, this useless person isnt my son. I can finally get rid of him.

And then,

mn, this useless person is really good looking. I can use him.

This ability to control his emotions and remain unmovedeven if it was Xie He, he still exclaimed in admiration at the others unparalleled ability, ne.

Only, since Deng Jingwen had chosen this route and had accepted the truth without any difficulties, Xie He had to quickly deliver himself into his hands. The course of events was never important. Only the result was important.

Deng Jingwen said that he didnt want this son of his, so fact was he didnt want his son, simple as that. In one night, he had frozen all of Deng Zhuos bank cards. Moreover, Deng Zhuo was no longer permitted to come into the company or his home.

Xie He had under two thousand yuan in cash on him. However, he hadnt economized because according to his personality, he would not understand how difficult living would be. Xie He squatted outside the office or Deng Jingwens home everyday, waiting wherever he may be able to b.u.mp into Deng Jingwen. However, on the third day, he ran out of money. Meanwhile, he had yet to even come within 10 metres of Deng Jingwen.

Xie He could exchange for food and money through the system. However, for the sake of making his acting appear real, he did not do that and continued to squat,waiting like before, with an empty stomach!

444Host

dada

youre really dedicated to your work. _(:)_

Xie HeBaby, danger can never be overcome without taking any risks. Moreover, its no big deal to go hungry. ?

The next day, the rain came down hard. Deng Jingwen stood at his window that stretched from ceiling-to-floor. He lowered his head to look down. It had already been four days, and the boy still waited outside the company. Because he was not allowed to come in, he could only stand outside and was drenched by the rain. Both arms were wrapped around himself as he s.h.i.+fted from foot to foot in place like a little tree, swaying in the wind, on the verge of collapse. In the next moment, without any warning, he actually collapsed onto the ground.

Deng Jingwen narrowed his eyes and was silent for a while. He then made a call, Bring him in.

The boy was very quickly taken in, dripping wet and pitiful. He was placed on the sofa.

Deng Jingwen walked over and brushed the hair that was sticking to the boys face away, revealing that fair, beautiful face. The boys handsome brows were slightly furrowed, and his originally bright and gorgeous red lips had been drained of all colour from the cold. Deng Jingwen gently caressed the boys face. The skin was pale and exquisite as if with just a bit of force, it could be ruined.

This was his boy, the one that he had pampered and spoiled for eighteen years. This kind of good appearance, it would be such a waste to directly throw him away, ne.

He let go and sat back down.

After a few hours, Xie He opened his eyes, bewildered. He discovered that he was laying on a soft sofa and rubbed his eyes. At this point, he noticed Deng Jingwen, who was sitting to the side, and joy suddenly flourished on his face, Daddy! Daddy! Although he used a lot of energy, his voice was still very weak and hoa.r.s.e.

Deng Jingwen gazed at him and said, Eat a bit first, ba.

Only then Xie He realized that there was warm food arranged in front of him. He had already been so starved that it felt like his chest had sunken into his back, so how could he endure now? He wolfed it all down! It was the first time that he knew how unbearable it was to go hungry! Because he ate too quickly, he accidentally choked. He tried his best to cough it out, and tears flowed from his eyes. Just as he was feeling the most miserable, a cup of water was brought to his lips. Another hand gently patted his back.

After Xie He gulped down that gla.s.s of water, he gasped for air. The hand that was gently stroking his back seemed to have a calming effect, making him feel inexplicably at ease. He gazed at Deng Jingwen with tears in his eyes, Daddy, youve realized that you wont not want me anymore?

Deng Jingwen couldnt help but pause upon being stared at by that boys stunning face with slightly red eyes that were filled with deep dependence.

This kind of rare beauty, even if he didnt want him, wouldnt he be quickly s.n.a.t.c.hed up into some other mans pocket? As soon as he thought about how this boy could belong to some other man, crying and begging under another mans body, displeasure unexpectedly arose within him. The idea inside of his heart could not longer be suppressedif the boy would end up like that sooner or later, then why couldnt the man to cause him to be like that be him, ne?

This was the child that he raised single-handedly after all. If Deng Zhuo was to be enjoyed by someone, it should be him.

Ding, the target Deng Jingwens Favourability Value +10. The current Favourability Value is 45.

Xie He pounced over and hugged Deng Jingwen at the waist, choking with sobs, Daddy, I was wrong. I will listen to you from now on. I wont cause any trouble. Dont abandon me, OK, dont throw me away againIm really scared..wuwu.

Deng Jingwens right hand was placed atop of the boys soft black hair, stroking it. His fingertips swept over the boys thinned face and in the end, raised the boys chin, thumb softly pressing on that pair of supple lips.

Its not like you cannot stay, he said.

Endless joy emerged from Xie Hes eyes.

Deng Jingwen continued, However, not as my son, but as my lover. He fixed his eyes onto the boys face that had paled from fright, lips curling up slightly, and laughed quietly, Are you still willing if its like this?

Xie HeDaddy is so rough and direct, ah! I suddenly fell for him a bit, ne. :)
