Lee Jun-hee always froze in place with a vicious gaze. Beichen, who had just walked to the gate of Qingyi, slowly stopped, he turned his head and glanced at Li Junxi, who was standing by the window and staring at him silently.

"My mother didn't abandon me, she must have something unspeakable, so she said goodbye. Isn't it because you are angry with me, because I let go of your friend's hand, because I have other children in my world? That's why you're going to punish me in such a despicable way. I didn't even see my mom for the last time. ”

Gu Beichen was speechless by Li Junxi's words, and the feeling of not being understood was like being beaten and never being able to touch his head again. Maybe because of his young age, he couldn't understand that the boy who pretended to be as innocent as a breeze laughing and scolding, returned to the lonely home and turned off the lights was a lonely and helpless look. He thought that he was just too concerned about the interests of the family, so he chose to snub his selfish ghost. And the reason why Jun-hee let go of Beichen's hand was precisely because of the appearance of the boy who warmed his past, spreading out the memories he wanted to forget again and again like a canvas in front of him.

"Could it be that I caused the wounds in your heart? It was your father, it was your father who had another woman outside, it was your father who turned his back on your mother first. And if you hold her hand again, it will be the same as dragging her out of the swamp and into hell. Joon-hee, if I were you, I would cut ties with that indifferent father, the cold family, right now. Just because the person who was forced to leave gave you hope for the future and selfless love, and now the man who sits at the top of CGH just gives you a little bit of blood. ”

Gu Beichen is not wrong to say this, but for Junxi, who has been immersed in the memory of the past and can't extricate himself, what he needs is not someone to guide him to face the bloody reality, but he urgently needs a vent. A vent that doesn't stiffen its mouth, but just constantly absorbs the negative energy emanating from his body. And this is something that Gu Beichen, who has always been pampered and pampered, will never understand.

"Shut up, who gave you the courage to yell at a concubine with pure blood. ”

Li Junxi hesitated for a moment, although he always had the contradictions hidden in his heart and a little guilt for Beichen, he still shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

"Don't forget that my life is just gloomy all of a sudden, and when I get back on my feet, I will definitely do my best to stand on the top of no one. And you, you are the shadow that will never see the light and have to hide behind your sister-in-law, by the way, Brother Beiming didn't warn you not to study hard, don't have any ideas about the future, just eat, drink and have fun, and then lose yourself in a boring and ineffective time, I think as a sister-in-law, Brother Beiming and I even thought of advice. If you want to really break the shackles of the world and stand by my side, in the next life, you have to be born to a very powerful family in the next life. ”

After a short silence, Li Junxi, who was very disappointed with Gu Beichen's attitude, still stiffened his neck and argued. He was not only angry at Gu Beichen's irresponsible words, but also because he hated himself for being young and incapable of protecting his mother well, and even if his father was really a cold-blooded man, and as the son of a nobleman, he had no way to give up the glory that his future title would bring him.

"Mom, how can you go to a parent-teacher conference?"

"Did you know that your appearance like this will cause me and Aunt Wen Suli to worry, you know?" Gu Beichen withdrew all the information he had just edited. This time, it was: "Did Mom go to a parent-teacher conference today?"

I have to say that Li Junxi's attack is always so enjoyable, although every provocation is on Li Junxi, but in the end, the only person who can't eat and walk around is Beichen himself. Coming out of the angry and suffocating Qingyi, Zheng Shijing was taking a hot shower in the bathroom of his room. Suddenly there was a restless knock on the door outside the door, and Zheng Shijing only turned off the faucet: "What's the matter? Is Beichen back? Your elegant and gentle mother is taking a bath." "

"I don't care what you're doing?! Anyway, I can't wait for you to finish washing, so come out for me right away. Gu Beichen's tone was slightly reproachful, and he slammed the door even louder. "I have something to say! Mom, as long as she hasn't drowned in the bathwater, has to come out and make it clear to me. "

Zheng Shijing nodded instinctively, and then hesitated to respond "oh". She let go of the bath flower she was holding in her arms, and she still felt a strong tremor just when she had just sat down at the dresser and combed her hair twice. "Is it a baby waiting to be fed? Think about the child's avoidance of himself consciously or unconsciously since he was sensible. Zheng Shijing pondered Beichen's unexpectedly somewhat abnormal behavior, and she felt that it was becoming more and more wrong. The sound of slamming the door behind him was like the babbling of an ignorant girl.

"Oh my God, my God, how did you get drenched like this, and there was no dry place on your body. Butler, how does the butler serve your young master, don't you want to do it? ”

"I want to ask what my mother means by showing up at school today? Don't you want me to study anymore?" Zheng Shijing was draped in a bath towel, and just as she opened the door, Gu Beichen rushed in with lightning speed, he grabbed Zheng Shijing's hand, and while questioning aggressively, he pressed Zheng Shijing's arm to close the door.

"Son, oh my God, oh my God! Your performance today surprised me so much, you are suddenly like this, this is to..."Gu Beichen did something that would make everyone stunned, and Zheng Shijing's resistance was also blurted out at the first time. "Ahh Gu Beichen. Zheng Shijing blushed and slammed Gu Beichen's shoulder, which was higher than his head: "Do you have any nerves or brains? Don't you know that even if you have your own home, you must at least take care of your own image? And you haven't asked your mother how she behaved today, so you have to draw random conclusions to me? Really, the men in this family are all selfish ghosts who are stubborn and selfish. Could it be that you, your father, and the hateful President Gu Beiming know the image, and as your mother, I don't care about these things? It's so annoying, in your eyes, I'm just a lazy woman who doesn't move her brain at all. "

At that moment just now, Gu Beichen completely lost his sanity and calmness, and when he was shaken more and more by his mother, he slowly came back to his senses.

"Why are you beating me so hard?"

"That's it, at least ask if it's convenient for you at the beginning of your decision. And one thing I have in common with your father, we are both your elders. There is no respect for the elders, it's too unusual. "The silent water heater suddenly came out. However, the water didn't seem to splash from the shower, but seemed to be sprayed directly from the shower switch after twisting it back and forth a few times, accompanied by a creepy laugh, Zheng Shijing threw Gu Beichen, who was full of water, to the sofa one meter away from the shower room.

"Is something wrong with the second lady? Just now I saw that the young master's nose was not a nose and his face was not a face, and he rushed into the bedroom. The housekeeper in the senior nanny's room next to the elevator building on the second floor put down the bills that had just been stacked together, and when she walked to the bedroom door, she was just about to reach out and knock on the door habitually, but after thinking for a moment, she hesitated.

"Hey, ma'am, are you alright?" she decided to ask first, "Master, would you like a cup of coffee?"

In the room where there was no response,

Gu Beichen and Zheng Shijing sat face to face on the sofa in the living room. After much hesitation, Zheng Shijing gently unscrewed a bottle of Chateau Lafite Rothschild.

"Mom, why are you here for the parent-teacher conference today? Where's the brother? Is the group busy?"

Gu Beichen put down the coat in his hand and sat down next to his mother.

"Brother, brother?! Could it be that the person who conceived the baby in October and gave birth to you with all your hard work was not my mother and me, but your brother who would only drive you out? You won't ask your mother if the teacher praised you today, and if your mother fought for you in front of your teacher. Zheng Shijing suddenly felt very funny again, she looked at Gu Beichen, who was sitting beside her expressionlessly, and took a sip of the wine glass. With the red wine constantly stirring in the glass. The atmosphere around was also relaxed by Zheng Shijing's ridicule.

"Don't worry, as soon as my mother goes today, I will compare all the mothers present, do you know how those bloated, sallow-faced women hold their mother's hand and talk? They are all asking you that you are so young, you are simply the goddess of immortality on behalf of frozen age. And your nose, mouth, and double eyelids, are they done in which plastic surgery hospital, and they are traceless? I was very proud to tell them that my face was pure and natural, and I had not moved a single knife. And they say how you maintain your figure, I really can't see that you are a woman who has given birth, even if you say that you are a model on the runway, we believe it. You weren't there, you didn't even see that their jaws were about to fall to the ground in shock when they knew I was over 40 years old. They say that young girls will be compared to your temperament when they come to you, and they will be aggrieved if they dress up so magnificently and don't go to the red carpet. Zheng Shijing's childish joke did not dispel Gu Beichen's concerns. Regarding Zheng Shijing's chatter, the more Gu Beichen listened, the more irritated he became. How many times did he want to interrupt his mother's chatter, but he couldn't find the right opportunity.

"Even when my mother came out of Qingyi, there were a lot of ladies and wives who came up to me and asked me for WeChat?" Zheng Shijing's bragging self-talk was too outrageous, and he didn't want to say much about his mother's performance. He rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand and clamped his scalp hard, and he slapped the coffee table several times with his knuckles.

"Don't worry, Mom knows that some things are finger-hooking things for everyone, and I can't do them. Because I don't have a suitable identity. ”

Zheng Shijing's eyes darkened, and as she spoke, she took out her mobile phone and handed it to Gu Beichen. "That's it, she said she was Shang Ai's mother. Then I also looked at the girl with big eyes, and when I heard me mention you, the stars twinkled in her eyes, so I paid special attention to it. As always, Zheng Shijing has a playful smile on his face that is different from that of his peers.

"This girl is very kind, and I take care of the people who meet in Pingshui. I think... Zheng Shijing's face showed a bright smile.

"By the way, that kid has good grades, and he is also a good person, if he walks with us Beichen, he must be a good match. ”

"Mom is not allowed to appear in front of my school or my friends in the future. "What kind of eyes are that, as if you've the Chow Chow. In fright, Zheng Shijing clenched the cup in his hand.

"Are you angry?" Zheng Shijing guessed casually. "Could it be that the girl you like is someone else, which lady is it? Say it, mom gives you a counselor. You must know that my mother's vision has always been vicious, and she looks at it accurately. ”

"Is it up to my mother to call the shots? at least you should ask for my own wishes, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes. Gu Beichen gritted his teeth viciously.

"I see. Zheng Shijing said stupidly. "Don't worry, Mom doesn't have a monk to love Mom to say a word, but I can see that her affection for you is not inferior to her daughter. Shang Ai seems to be gentle and polite, and she is so understanding. My son thinks so, too. I just know that my son has a girlfriend by feeling, but the more she thinks about it, the more curious she becomes.

"In short, you don't get involved in my business, it was like this in the past, and it won't change anything in the future. ”

watched the playful smile disappear from Zheng Shijing's face in a hurry. Gu Beichenyuan's blood-red eyes once again found focus from Zheng Shijing's clenched wine glass.

"I see, my son has grown up. If it were an ordinary person, I should let it go. Zheng Shijing's eyes widened with tears, and she let out a long sigh of relief.

"I'm your son, don't I know you yet? Do you think you're doing this for me? It's for your pathetic vanity, don't you just want to show yourself? Isn't it good to play cards with your old friends and make an appointment with a SPa? Why do you have to go to the place where I study and live, and listen to those boring people say something against your will, and you're happy? And then ask me about my gossip like a boring person, and you let me say something about you. Go and go, and even add my classmate's mother without anyone's approval. If I told my dad about it, do you know what he would do to accuse my mother of her ignorance?"

"What are you talking about? Are you blaming me for disgrace you? It turns out that you keep arguing at me when you come home because I have embarrassed you. I couldn't figure out what the situation was, but seeing Gu Beichen's inexplicable anger, Zheng Shijing gently flicked his soaked sleeves, and repeated helplessly: "No matter what I say, even if my selfishness is completely for your good, do you feel ashamed? At this moment, Zheng Shijing really wanted to hide in the quilt and cry happily, she asked with a choked voice.

"Yes, my mother is really self-aware, it's not a shame, it's a shame. Mom, you will not show off such a superficial thing if you have half a bottle of ink in your stomach, or if you have absorbed a little bit of social experience. He won't let me show up in front of my friends like a big man. Do you know if you say the wrong thing or offend someone because you are in a hurry, how can you let me gain a foothold in Qingyi, if everyone knows that Principal Wen is not my biological mother, it will be a disaster for Aunt Wen, for me, or even for my father. I can't continue to study and study abroad under my father's arrangement, but as for her, she will continue to work despite the scandal. If the situation really develops to that point, Mom, do you think Dad will be on your side? On the one hand, there is the son and woman he can't take away, and on the other hand, the ex-wife of Guangyao Anjo and the shrewd and capable President Beiming. ”

Gu Beichen was extremely annoyed and annoyed, and he glared at Zheng Shijing dissatisfied. At this moment, he was deeply afraid that because of his mother's reckless actions, he would distance himself from his beloved Shirley.

"I see, it turns out that you don't blame me for making your own decisions, but because I am the cause of all the tragedies of all. Even so, I paid the price I deserved. In order to let my son grow up with a golden key, instead of surviving in the gap of lack of food and clothing, I sacrificed my life's happiness, I don't ask you to thank me, I just hope you don't hate me for not having a noble background like Mrs. Wen Suli, and I can't give you a dazzling halo again, not to mention that I can't get along in the competition for your position as president. Zheng Shijing wiped away a handful of tears. "And what you know is that I am greedy for pleasure every day, that is because only I am not allowed to leave the Gu family, since I came to this house, I have seen any friends, and whatever I say, there will be a servant to tell Gu Kailin. Then if I can do what I can't do, someone will force me to ask me, and I can't even cry in front of my relatives, let alone tell my inner pain from the bottom of my heart. The huge Gu clan is not only the master who will restrict my freedom, but even a sprinkler nanny is telling me that even an inconsequential action is related to the interests of the Gu clan, and Gu's wife cannot do whatever she wants, not to mention that your title of wife cannot be recognized. In this home with no warmth, I was really lonely. But I never complained, and I was very happy to see my son grow up happily. I know that when I want to get it, I only lose more. Zheng Shijing muttered to himself at the wine glass, not knowing whether he was pleading to Gu Beichen or confessing to himself. Zheng Shijing's eyes were red, and he said something that made Gu Beichen stunned. It's really a lot happier to say it, but Gu Beichen is always pulling her sleeve.

"Don't drink it, if you drink it again, your mother will be really drunk. Gu Beichen snatched the wine glass she was about to bring to her mouth.

"I'm drunk, I'm drunk or awake, how can anyone care. But it doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that my son is finally back with me. Your exile is over, and my imprisonment should be nearing its end. I seem to hear the trumpet of the dawn. The more Zheng Shijing spoke, the more fluent she became, she was always pulling the same wine glass with Gu Beichen.

"If my son wants to drink too, I'll ask the butler to fetch another one. Then we have a toast. That's what I thought when you went to Qingyi. ”

"No, you can't. Gu Beichen, who immediately sensed the sudden change in the situation, quickly caught the wine glass that Zheng Shijing took out of his hand.

"Yes, how can I, a woman imprisoned in the Gu family, have the honor of drinking with the second young master?"

"That's not what I meant. Mom..."

"My precious son, don't be angry with me, okay? After entering the Gu family, I am the only one left with you regardless of my relatives or friends. Didn't you always say let me manage myself well and make myself look good. But you don't know that I am the only one in this world. If I could turn back the clock, if I had an afterlife, even if you would hate me, I wouldn't live like this again. But if I was really that selfish back then, you should hate me like that now, right? When I didn't give birth to you, others said that their children were unreliable, but really?!"

After hearing Zheng Shijing's muttering to himself, because he really couldn't bear such a huge pressure, Gu Beichen craned his neck and drank a full glass of spirits. There will be many times in the future when my heart collapses like today, Even Gu Beichen, who was shocked for the first time, was silent with tears in his eyes, not to mention that it was a woman as weak as water.

Zheng Shijing's words surprised Gu Beichen, because these were completely unexpected by him.

"Mom. ”

"What's the matter? Do you want to take away the right to drink as well, if you don't drink, you won't drink, but don't look down on me with those people. ”

Zheng Shijing asked Gu Beichen in confusion, because she had drunk too much wine, her open mouth still did not ease up.

"While my father and brother are away, my mother should vent well. ”

That's all a matter of course, but my mother can't do what she wants.

Gu Beichen stuffed a full glass of honey water into Zheng Shijing's hand with his mouth wide open. Zheng Shijing, who was a little drunk, was stunned, she blushed in embarrassment, and kept fanning her cheek with her other hand.

"Son, why are you so sensational, did my mother say something just now? Oh my God, did the housekeeper burn out his brain? How did he turn on the air conditioner so high? ”

"It's so cold, why is it so hot? ”

Mom wasn't really happy, watching the woman jump and scream next to her. Gu Beichen was very distressed.

"Beichen, didn't my mother drink just now, why didn't you look at me. If President Beiming bumps into this, what will I become? That guy hasn't come back yet. Zheng Shijing picked up the small mirror from the table and took a closer look, and after making sure that her image had not changed, she patted Gu Beichen's thigh and immediately jumped up again. "If your brother asks about the parent-teacher conference, how do you answer it? If he knew. ”

"Don't worry, as long as mom doesn't get out of the way, and. Gu Beichen rushed over with a smile and grabbed his mother's hand.

"How can someone like me be willing to attend a parent-teacher conference for me? The boundless loneliness swelled rapidly in Gu Beichen's heart, but when he saw the gloomy eyes on his mother's pretended cheerful face, he smiled unscrupulously.

"Why don't I tell my brother again, and that's how the parent-teacher meeting will be held in the future. Otherwise, a person as good as my brother was brought to the podium by the teacher several times to make a statement of a failed homeschooler, which is really very devalued. You don't know. ”

"Ahh Zheng Shijing shouted indignantly, but it was Gu Beichen's self-deprecation that made him suddenly feel a little more relaxed in his heart. "Actually, I just want to know what kind of family you are studying with and living with. Also, I don't know what parent-teacher conferences are for, I'm just curious. I want to know if the school environment is good, whether the food in the cafeteria is delicious and cooked by the cook at home, and I also want to know how many people live in your dormitory, whether it is chaotic, whether you have caused trouble to your classmates, and whether any classmates have bullied you. ”

The mother's chatter is very cute, Gu Beichen bit his lip and smiled self-deprecatingly: "The parent-teacher meeting is set up by the teacher in order to sue the child, the school environment is not good, the cook is not delicious, and the classmates are cleaned up miserably, I am planning to submit an application for withdrawal." ”

Gu Beichen let go of the hand that was holding Zheng Shijing, and he slowly sat up straight again. Looking at Zheng Shijing, who was not angry, he was once again brewing an inevitable complaint. Gu Beichen bared his teeth and grinned, and he made a panicked escape movement while laughing.

"Then my mother drank less, and if my mother drank my body because of my incompetence, I would also die of sadness. Even if the problem wasn't me, I would have tossed and turned with worry and couldn't sleep all night. ”

"Okay, I really got it. Looking at Gu Beichen, he easily threw himself a wink.

Zheng Shijing smiled reluctantly. At that moment, a little warmth surged through her sour heart.

At this time...

The housekeeper hurriedly put down the tray in his hand and ran to Zheng Shijing.

"What's the matter? always running around in such a frizzy way, and then breathing at me first, as if I had told you to do some heavy work, please don't spray saliva in my face. For Zheng Shijing, who has always been marginalized by the collective, this practice is no different from an insult.

The housekeeper was interrupted by Zheng Shijing's sudden grumbling, and Zheng Shijing was startled when he looked at that dull face.

"There was a guest at home, and he said that he was a friend of the second young master, and he came to the young master to do his homework. ”

"Can I make an appointment with a friend who is doing homework at home?"

"Beichen, don't you know. Zheng Shijing choked on the smell of red wine, and suddenly there was a faint dizziness in his eyes. After a moment of stunnedness, she slowly turned her face and looked at Gu Beichen with a nervous expression, perhaps because of her weak heart, or because the Gu family's family relationship was too complicated, as long as she let the guests in, she would touch the Gu family's scales. Zheng Shijing looked at Gu Beichen with a sad and desperate look. Before Gu Beichen could finish his meal, Li Junxi walked in with a serious face.

"Hello, Beichen. There was a sudden power outage in my house, so I don't mind borrowing some light. The moment he saw Gu Beichen, Li Junxi smiled.

"No, the CGH Group, which made its fortune by buying and selling land, is now so poor that it can't find a place with electricity? Can you believe this kind of nonsense? Even if it's a lie, you have to find a convincing reason for others. Gu Beichen didn't raise his head, and the anger that was about to erupt squeezed out of his cold lips.

"Li Junxi has something to say, let's go out and say!"

"No, is this your Gu family's hospitality? As soon as you enter the door, you will give an eviction order, which is really unique, and you have been taught. ”

"Is that the uninvited style of your Li CGH? Sure enough, there is no education at all. ”

"Ah?!What you are curious about is this, could it be that your Gu family made a fortune by virtue of upbringing? But I have made a special trip to you today to learn from you, and this debate is also a kind of learning. Compared with the excitement on Li Junxi's face, Gu Beichen is no longer able to tolerate it no matter how good his temper is.

Look at Li Junxi's villainous look. Presumably, Li Junxi must be obsessed with a person, and his trip is clearly to take revenge on the Gu family. Standing in Li Junxi's position, once the anger that has been enduring for many years finds an outlet for catharsis, it will gallop like a waterfall passing through the rift, and the moment he vaguely smells the aroma of dark beer, Gu Beichen understands that it turns out that Li Junxi is using the effect of alcohol to vent all the grief and anger in his heart. But is it really so drunk that he can rashly attack no matter what camp he is in? Gu Beichen suddenly felt angry and funny.

"Although we CGH are not academically rich, since you Young Master Gu are curious, I should satisfy your curiosity. By the way, are my aunts and uncles resting upstairs? I'll go say hello first, and I'll be with you first. ”

Gu Beichen, do you think that if you blow your beard and stare at me, you will be afraid of you? Thinking of this, Li Junxi glared back without showing weakness.

Zheng Shijing was stunned by the sudden anger of the two boys. But soon, she slowly woke up in that pair of fierce eyes, and she tiptoed to the staircase to prepare to take a step ahead of Li Junxi, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Please wait. Zheng Shijing stopped nervously and leaned directly on the stairs.

"Auntie, please bring us two cups of cappuccino with milk caps, if Young Master Beichen doesn't mind, please add another piece of fragrant cake, thank you." ”

"Oh, oh. Okay, okay. Zheng Shijing was very embarrassed, she still leaned on the back of the stairs with her back to Li Junxi, and after a short thought, she lowered her face and walked quickly to the kitchen without looking back.

Jung Se-jeong's weakness made Lee Jun-hee's movements even more justified. Just as Zheng Shijing passed by him, he grabbed Zheng Shijing's hand.

"Auntie is well maintained, even the skin of her hands is as white as eggs. No wonder I thought about it for a while just now, you don't have to do cleaning labor in the Gu family. ”

"No, no, it's not like that. That me. Zheng Shijing hurriedly denied it, but was soon interrupted by Li Junxi.

"So you're pretty high-level, right? I see that your dress is different from the aunt who just opened the door for me. ”

"Where, where is it, I am, the housekeeper, the housekeeper, of course the housekeeper is different from the ordinary nanny. Zheng Shijing still lowered her head, and her voice was very small.

"The housekeeper, the housekeeper will wear a logo, it's obvious that this is the dress of the owner. I still have this look. So who are you, Auntie? I used to be with Beichen a lot when I was a child, so maybe we met at that time. ”

Li Junxi's words made Zheng Shijing stunned on the spot. Is it about to be recognized? Just because I went to Qingyi once and attended a parent-teacher conference, am I being targeted by Beichen's enemies now? Zheng Shijing's sluggishness is equivalent to acquiescence in Li Junxi's eyes, and even if the gossip on their father's side is broken, it doesn't matter.

"How could it be? How could I have a chance to contact the young master?" Zheng Shijing had tears in her eyes, she wanted to explain, but Li Junxi refused to let go of Zheng Shijing's hand that was firmly imprisoned. Under his stalemate, Zheng Shijing's struggle was completely futile.

...
