chapter 3 self-blame

The door of the wooden house, which could barely keep out wind and rain, had been torn down, and two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, were held down by several robust men and pinned to the ground.
Mateo Qi opened his eyes wide in anger when he saw this scene from a distance. His mind went blank, and his anger surged immediately.
"Sofia Wang, I want you to die!"
Mateo Qi roared. The car didn't even stop, and Mateo Qi opened the car door, then jumped out and rushed straight to the wooden house.
When Aiden Gu saw this, he didn't even bother to ask the driver to drive over there. He immediately ordered the driver to stop, then rushed out of the car and ran towards the wooden house.
Sofia Wang was standing in front of the wooden house shouting curses when she heard a roar coming from behind.
"Sofia Wang, I'll kill you!"
Mateo Qi strode over and kicked Sofia Wang directly.
Sofia Wang's expression suddenly changed. She tried to avoid him in time, but was kicked by Mateo Qi and flew several meters away.
This kick made Sofia Wang feel a spasm in her abdomen. The tearing pain made Sofia Wang want to scream but she couldn't make any sound.
Upon seeing this, several strong men in the room immediately rushed towards Mateo Qi.
Facing several strong men rushing towards him, Mateo Qi just kicked them out with a few moves. His attack was very strong. He kicked a person’s arm, breaking the man's arm on the spot.
"Mateo Qi!"Sofia Wang got up from the ground pressing her belly in pain, staring at Mateo Qi with wide eyes, and said in disbelief, "How dare you hit me! Do you know who I am now!"
Not far away, Aiden Gu also rushed over with his men, not only Aiden Gu's driver, but also the convoy that had been following him.
"Beat them!"
The richest man in Tian Yin was full of gangsterism at this time. He waved his big hand and called for others to take action.
More than a dozen people rushed over immediately.
When Sofia Wang saw this, her expression suddenly changed: "Okay! Mateo Qi, is there an old guy who can support you? We’ll see!"
After Sofia Wang finished speaking, she opened her car door, then got in and stepped on the accelerator and ran away.
But those strong men couldn't run away, so the people brought by Aiden Gu directly took them aside and started beating them.
Mateo Qi had no time to care about what happened to these people, he rushed into the door of the wooden house.
The wooden house was not very spacious, only a dozen square meters in total, and the stove and bed were right next to each other.
Mateo Qi saw that his parents were still lying on the ground with bruises on their faces, obviously they had just suffered injuries.
When they saw Mateo Qi, ​​there was no surprise in the eyes of the couple, nor was there any surprise that their son was released from prison, but a kind of nervousness, a kind of embarrassment, and a kind of uneasiness!
Mateo Qi was no longer the ignorant young man he once was. In the past three years, he had learned a lot.
Mateo Qi noticed that the wooden house was very messy, and there were even many collected bottles stacked together. His parents usually slept with these things, but there were only two sets of clothes neatly stacked in the corner, which were clean and tidy.
Mateo Qi remembered these two sets of clothes very clearly. They were what his parents wore every time they went to visit the prison! They showed the best of themselves to him, so that he never had to worry about anything!
Mateo Qi understood that his parents' uneasy expressions at this time were just because he saw how embarrassed they were now!
It was all because of him that his parents, who originally lived a peaceful life, became like this!
Regret and self-blame filled Mateo Qi's heart.
Mateo Qi bent his legs, and knelt on the ground with a "pop" sound, and kept knocking his head on the ground, making loud sounds.
"Dad! Mom!"
Mateo Qi kept kowtowing. He didn't apologize. He didn't know how to express his apology. It was all because of him, but his parents never said anything and never made him worry!
In the past three years, his parents' hair had turned gray and they were aging rapidly.
Aiden Gu stood guard outside the door and didn't come in to disturb them.
Inside the house, Grayson Qi and his wife couldn't bear to see their son like this.
"Mateo, get up now. You're back. This is a good thing. Don’t do this."
His mother Genesis Wen put away the embarrassment on her face. A smile appeared on her face, and she stepped forward to help Mateo Qi up.
Grayson Qi also stood up: "Okay, it's good that you're back. Come and sit down."
Mateo Qi looked at his parents' old faces with smiles on their faces. This feeling made his heart ache.
"You haven't eaten yet. Your mother will give you a bowl of noodles. You should eat something first."
Genesis Wen hurriedly walked out the door to pick up the pots and bowls that had been thrown outside.
"Mom and Dad."Mateo Qi quickly stopped them, "You have suffered so much for me in the past three years. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have..."
Men only weep when deeply grieved.
Mateo Qi was crying.
"Okay, everything is fine."Grayson Qi patted Mateo Qi on the shoulder, "You have grown up too. People have to grow up. We are your parents. If we don't bear the burden for you, who will?"
Mateo Qi wiped away his tears: "Mom and dad, don't worry, Sofia Wang's matter will never be forgotten! I have learned a lot in the past three years, and I will never let you suffer again!"
Genesis Wen smiled softly: "Silly boy, what are you talking about? We are not afraid of anything, but I really don't like that woman Sofia Wang, so don't associate with her in the future. Now that you are out, live a good life, find a job, and everything will be fine.”
Hearing his mother's gentle whispers, Mateo Qi couldn't help but shed tears.
"Mom and Dad, let me introduce you, this is Aiden Gu, an elder's friend. From now on, I will work in Uncle Gu's company. You don't have to worry about work, and I have also been assigned a house."
When Grayson Qi and his wife heard this, their eyes widened immediately. Although they looked relaxed on the surface, they actually knew that it would not be easy for Mateo Qi to find a job after being released from prison.
But now he had found a job and been assigned a house?
Aiden Gu was able to reach the position as the richest man of Tian Yin, and he was able to handle various things extremely well. When he heard what Mateo Qi said, he quickly said: "Mr. and Mrs. Qi, what Mateo said is right. I've heard about him too. It was not his fault. This kid is affectionate and righteous, I like him very much. He will work with me in the future, don’t worry. This is my business card.”
Aiden Gu handed over his business card to them.
Grayson Qi took a look. It was Wenzun Group! This was a well-known company in Tian Yin! Their benefits for employees were very good!
Grayson Qi and his wife were instantly relieved.
"Thank you, Mr. Gu, for taking care of our son. He is very good and diligent..."
The couple immediately began to praise Mateo Qi. Aiden Gu immediately got into the topic and the atmosphere was much more enjoyable.
Aiden Gu secretly sent an ordinary business car over and asked someone to arrange a house for the Mateo Qi family.
The house itself, which Aiden Gu had prepared, was a villa, but after listening to Mateo Qi's words just now, Aiden Gu quickly asked someone to prepare an additional two-bedroom apartment.
After sending the Mateo Qi family to their new house, Aiden Gu found a reason to leave, leaving time for the family of three to reunite.
Grayson Qi and his wife had lived in the shantytown for three years, and now they were not used to living in this well-decorated two-bedroom apartment.
Mateo Qi clearly saw that when his mother used the faucet, there was a smile on her face.
In the shantytown, water was a problem.
The smile on Genesis Wen's face made Mateo Qi feel upset.
"Mom and Dad, you guys have a good rest first. I'll order some food for you, which will be delivered soon. I have to go to Uncle Gu's company to go through the joining procedures and I'll be back before dinner."
