Hi There, Uncle! Chapter 5

David spent two days running around the hospital and finally arrived at the day of the scheduled full moon party.

Fortunately, the assistant had been prepared for this kind of thing in advance, otherwise David would have been at a loss. Jiang Yanchao was not in good condition, and he should not be discharged from the hospital at this time. But how could the full moon be without a protagonist? David meant that Jiang Yanchao should not show up, but Stella felt that this was not a good idea, so she went to discuss it with the hospital, and ended up directly borrowing a team of doctors and nurses and taking Jiang Yanchao home.

When Samson heard about this, he just laughed and said, "What a psycho."

He hadn't been discharged from the hospital yet, and David came to ask him in the morning if he wanted to go home first and come back tomorrow. Samson had a plan in mind, so he refused, "I'm with my classmates, you don't have to worry about it."

The boy really didn't want his parents to supervise him, and David didn't care. He just reminded him to remember to come out to meet guests when he got home and not to stay in the living room.

By the evening, the Jiang family's house was full of guests.

David is a well-known businessman in Qincheng. Moreover, he has always been good at making friends and has a good relationship with people. All the well-known figures in Qincheng are present today.

Except for Caleb, this upstart in Qincheng didn't give face to anyone, so everyone simply excluded him.

But what no one knew was that Caleb arrived early in the afternoon. He just didn't show up. He hid in David's study on the third floor, waiting for the banquet to begin and meet his father for the first time as an adult.

It wasn't that he was too cautious, it was that his father refused every time he tried to contact him. He was afraid that if he showed up at the party, his father would turn around and leave just like he did when he went to school - his stubborn temper hadn't changed at all over the years.

David also had such concerns and asked him to wait here. He would bring the person here directly. First, David was a friend for many years, and he had to give him face. Second, at the banquet, even if he didn't want to, he couldn't just turn around and leave like in school. He had to stay for a while. Wouldn't this give Caleb a chance to speak?

Caleb sat on a single sofa by the window. The setting sun gradually set, making his shadow longer and longer. The room became darker and darker. The lights below became brighter and the voices became more noisy. However, he put his hands in his hair with twenty-five years of uneasiness, and did not feel relaxed at all.

Next to the study is the master bedroom. Stella had not gone downstairs to socialize yet and was sorting out her clothes. The person accompanying her was not her mother, but one of her cousins.

Although she had been married for more than half a year, David had never held a cocktail party at home because of her pregnancy. This was her first time appearing in David's circle of friends as a hostess, so she was extremely nervous and uneasy.

Her sister kept comforting her, "It's okay, don't we have David? You just need to take care of Xiaoxiao, I'll help you take care of Chaochao, nothing will go wrong."

The wound on Stella's face had not healed yet, so she had to apply two thick layers of powder to cover it up. But that was not what bothered her now. She was probably unusually sensitive because she had fought with Samson too much. She frowned, "Samson has been very honest these days and has not gone anywhere in the hospital. I'm afraid he might be holding back and not making trouble."

His sister didn't take it seriously. "He's just a little brat. What can he do? Can he turn this place upside down? I'm watching him. Your brother-in-law is here too. Even two adults can't control a little brat. Don't worry."

Stella reminded her with a little anxiety, "When he comes, you must ask your brother-in-law to keep an eye on him. That kid is a troublemaker. I don't know how his mother raised him. He doesn't recognize his relatives and is just a devil."

David finally waited for Guo Rubai downstairs, accompanied by his daughter Lily Guo. David told Lily to play by herself while he talked to Guo Rubai.

The two have known each other for many years. When David failed the college entrance examination, he followed his uncles and brothers to the city to do renovation work. The first house he renovated was Guo Rubai's. At that time, his wife was still Lin Runzhi. Guo Rubai was a university lecturer and Lin Runzhi was an editor at a publishing house. They were a standard intellectual family. He loved to study and naturally admired such a family.

So he was particularly attentive when working.

Guo Rubai found that this young man was different from others, and then he started chatting with him. After hearing that he had failed the college entrance examination and his family conditions were not good enough to continue repeating the exam, he encouraged him that even though he could not go to school anymore, he should persist in studying, and asked him to come to him.

David didn't believe it at first, but he couldn't resist the desire to continue studying, so he knocked on the door of Guo Rubai's house two months after the renovation. He didn't expect that Guo Rubai not only didn't despise him, but was very happy to see him. He answered his questions, recommended him to study, and even gave him his own class schedule - he was a teacher in the School of Economics, and asked him to come and listen to his classes when he was free.

Their friendship regardless of age difference started from here. A lot has happened to both of them over the years. David started from scratch and became a wealthy man in Qincheng, while Guo Rubai is still just a poor professor, but they still have a good relationship.

David pulled him and whispered, "Uncle, come upstairs with me later. Xiangbei is upstairs."

Obviously, Guo Rubai's skinny face showed a shocked expression. Guo Rubai was from Northeast China. After graduating from graduate school, he settled in Qincheng, but he always missed his hometown, so he named his son Xiangbei. No one has called him by this name for many years. I'm afraid that except for himself, David knows it, even his youngest daughter Lily doesn't know it.

"Why is Xiangbei here?" He asked first, but did not wait for the answer, because the answer was self-evident. The child had tried to contact him and meet him since he came to Qincheng, but he refused. This time, he probably meant the same thing. He responded decisively, "I won't see him. David, I can't stay here today. He won't be at peace if I stay here. I'm leaving first. Don't tell Mingyue."

David grabbed Guo Rubai and said, "Why are you doing this? Don't you miss your son? He has come to our house, and this child has not forgotten his roots. You..."

Guo Rubai waved his hands, "No, it's not good for him."

David was about to say something more when he heard a commotion at the door. David and Guo Rubai stopped arguing and looked over there. They saw a group of people rushing in. However, David spotted Andy and Zhang Fangfang at a glance. They were both Samson's good friends, so he thought they were Samson's group of friends who came over.

Samson's circle of friends corresponds to his circle of friends. It's not that there are no children from poor families - he was born in a poor family and doesn't care about this. It's just that he usually interacts with them more, and those children usually don't come to such occasions. Samson is better at taking care of his friends than he is, and he doesn't force them.

The children naturally couldn't have fun when their parents were here, so they had already made a tacit agreement that they were all in the small hall in the back garden, and he had prepared everything. He didn't expect that he would come to the front today, and David didn't take it seriously.

But soon, he found that this was not the case. The commotion did not stop. Instead, more and more people gathered around the gate.

Then someone shouted in a particularly loud voice in Tangshan dialect, "David, who is David?"

In such an occasion, this sentence was like a drop of water dropped into a hot oil pan, which immediately created an explosion effect in the crowd. Everyone shut their mouths, and everyone was roaring in their hearts, what was going on?

David didn't know what was going on. Why didn't the security guard outside stop this person from coming in? Why did this person come here to find him? But he didn't care. He quickly moved forward.

People consciously made way for him, which made it easier for the people behind to see what was happening at the door. As a result, they saw a man standing at least 1.85 meters tall, with a dark face and a sturdy figure. Most importantly, he was wearing a police uniform. He was a policeman!

David thought that this was someone who was looking for trouble. David would not change his name, and his company was in Qincheng CBD. Even if there was something, he should go there to find him. Why did he come to his house in the middle of the night?

But he was quite nice, and he went straight up and said, "I'm David, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The policeman did not treat him kindly because of his identity. He questioned him with a dark face, "Think about it, have you lost anything?"

David was stunned again. He usually didn't carry any money with him except his cell phone, and there had been no thefts at home or at work. How could he have lost something?

Seeing his bewildered look, the policeman's face became even uglier, and he yelled at him, "Where's your son?"

This sentence woke David up from his dream. He looked around and found that his son's classmates were all around him, but Samson was not among them.

At this time, the policeman shouted loudly to the back, "Come in."

Everyone's eyes naturally turned to the outside of the gate, and then they saw Samson at a glance. The most eye-catching thing was the head that was wrapped like a zongzi, and then the white down jacket on the child, which was full of scratches and torn, and almost turned black.

The boy slowly moved in, then raised his head, revealing a clean little face, and called out timidly, "Dad!"

David was completely stunned. When he went there in the morning, Samson was still lying in the hospital. But after not seeing him for a day, how could this child become like this?

He couldn't help but pull Samson and ask, "How did you do this? Where did you go?"

As a result, he was blocked by the policeman who was as tall as a mountain. The policeman frowned and asked again, "Who is Stella?"

The room was visibly quiet again. Everyone knew that Stella was Samson's stepmother. Although everyone present was successful, everyone had their own imaginations. Almost everyone had guessed the plot. This couldn't have been done by Stella.

David could sense something was wrong, so he wanted to take the police to talk to him, but that was too embarrassing. "Police comrade, how about this, let's go upstairs and talk, I have a room full of people downstairs?" The police asked him righteously, "Where is Stella?"

David knew that this was a planned event. He glanced at Zhang Fangfang next to him and thought that this person was most likely someone hired by this girl. Zhang Fangfang even gave him a particularly sweet smile.

Stella came downstairs in this situation. This was her first time hosting a banquet, so she ordered a dress from Eliesaab, which was particularly gorgeous and elegant. She was young and beautiful, so she looked like a little girl instead of a mother who had just given birth.

If it was just now, when people saw Stella like this, they would say in their hearts that David is very lucky, even though he is an old cow eating young grass, but he finally got her a permanent job, and they would look at Stella with an eye of appreciating her beauty.

But now it’s different. Samson is just standing there looking so pitiful.

Just now I said that Samson's friends are the children of this group of people, and everyone in the circle is familiar with them. What was Samson like before? Youthful and energetic, he was a confident and handsome guy wherever he stood. But now, he looks so pitiful, hiding behind the police and not daring to talk to his father, how can he be like before!

Even if the men in this group have cheated, few are willing to admit that the result of cheating is that the child becomes like this. Moreover, there are many mothers among them. In this contrast, how can they not sympathize with Samson and how can they not hate Stella?

This was a scene that everyone had already imagined before it was even said, but Stella didn't know what was going on. She was called down in a hurry. She only saw the tall policeman standing at the door, but didn't see Samson hiding behind the policeman. She couldn't help but frowned and asked David beside her, "What happened?"

Andy and Zhang Fangfang couldn't help but spit, "Pretending!" Then they looked at each other, turned their heads and said nothing.

The policeman asked the question again with a puzzled look on his face, "Are you Stella? I'm asking about Samson's mother, so you are his sister, right?"

In one sentence, the adults were fine, and the group of children burst into laughter. Stella couldn't hold back her face, frowned and said to the police, "How can you talk like that? I am his mother, his stepmother."

The policeman's dark face revealed a look of understanding, "Is that so? Then I'll talk to you two. This child..." He stepped aside to reveal Samson behind him, "How could you parents not even know that your child was lost? We were already on the highway. If a passing car hadn't seen it and called the police, the child would have walked thirty miles from the highway. Do you know how dangerous it is?"

David was also startled, but he didn't say anything. The policeman had already begun to show his characteristics as a local police officer and began to educate him earnestly, "You parents should care about your children. If he hasn't been seen for a day, you should have looked for him if you were careful. But he was playing here? If something really happened, you wouldn't know where to look for him! Besides, didn't the child just want to give up his room? That's where his mother lived. The child also missed his mother, so he wanted to keep a memory. Who would be willing to smash it in front of him because of a disagreement? As a result, his head was smashed like this. Stella, you are doing gangster things. You gave birth to your little son and he is a person, so is he not a person?"

Stella had never thought that he would bring up the fight and scold her. She wanted to refute on the spot, but David stared at her. At this time, the more you talk, the more exciting it will be. David's face was also hot, but he felt more sorry for the child. Fortunately, he had just looked carefully and found that the child was fine except for the dirty guy.

But the police didn't care. If others were scared, they wouldn't say anything. But he was obviously fearless and continued to persuade and educate him. "You still glared at me. Look how scared this child is. His head injury hasn't healed yet. When he heard that he was told to go home, he ran straight onto the highway. We asked him for an hour before he was willing to tell us who he was. He even begged us to let him go and come back on his own and not tell you. I tell you, a child is not an object. Since you are a stepmother, you must be responsible and have a righteous heart. You also gave birth to a child. Can your mother put a hole in your son's head? Even if it is a family dispute, you will be sentenced if you really sue!"

The policeman frowned and finally made a summary, "Okay, we've sent the child back to you. Please be careful next time."

After saying that, the man left, leaving the room full of people in silence. They were all the richest people in Qincheng, and they were all well-mannered. They would not make comments immediately, and no one said a word.

The first to speak was Stella. She was wearing a gorgeous dress. She looked left and saw the guests looking at her with condemning eyes. She looked right and saw the guests looking at her with condemning eyes. The so-called first appearance, the so-called entry into the world of the rich, all collapsed at this moment. Everyone in Qincheng who had a bit of dignity knew that she abused her stepson. Tomorrow, most people in Qincheng would know!

She will be the laughing stock of this circle in the future! And, if anything happens to Samson, it will be her fault.

Her face almost couldn't help but burn. She never expected that Samson would be so sinister besides fighting. She stared at her stepson, who stood there like a quail, completely different from the way he rode on her and whipped her a few days ago.

She was so angry that she wanted to fight with him, but the reality was that she couldn't even say anything. In this kind of situation, she couldn't curse, otherwise she would lose her so-called self-restraint. She had to swallow it down, at least to make this situation go away. This was her only chance. She widened her eyes, feeling as if her chest was suffocating, and she felt as if the tears of grievance were drowning her. In the end, she used up all her strength to force out a smile, and said with her own tears, "Samson, you must be tired, I'll take you upstairs to rest!"

Upstairs, Caleb, who had waited too long and didn't see Guo Rubai, had just walked out of the study and witnessed everything. He looked at Guo Rubai who still hadn't left, turned around and went upstairs. This kid was brave and resourceful.
