Chapter Ninety-Five: The Afterhand
Because of the posture, the rays of the sun hanging high above his head went straight into his eyes, Jiang Nuan's eyes narrowed slightly, his pupils contracted slightly, and then he exuded a quiet and distant atmosphere.
The Meng family villa halfway up the mountain.
Meng Qidong looked at the photo in his hand and smiled, a trace of deep meaning flashed in his eyes: "My grandson is really powerful, even Fu Shen's side can pull the line...... It's a pity!"
Although he said words of pity, the expression on his face did not show any regretful choice. His expression was gloomy, as if he was brewing some kind of storm.
The person reporting below kept his head down tightly, not daring to look up at him.
He has been a cow and a horse in the Meng family for so many years, and he knows the old man's temper, and if he says something not very nice at this time, he may be hated by the other party.
People tend to go to two extremes when they get older.
One is that his temper is getting more and more gentle, and he doesn't care much about anything. On the other hand, he is getting more and more irritable, even if it is not obvious on the surface, he will write down all the things that anger him, and wait until later to settle the account.
Old Man Meng is the latter.
He has seen those loyal and very capable subordinates more than once, often just because they have done a small thing wrong, he is cruelly "assigned to the frontier", completely out of the core circle.
If it weren't for his inherently careful temperament and extra cautiousness over the years, sooner or later he would have followed in the footsteps of his former companions.
Thinking of this, the man's face became even more ugly, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only keep his head down and not let Meng Qidong see his face.
didn't get a response and didn't care, Meng Qidong shook the photo in his hand, then picked up a lighter from the side, lit a corner of the photo, and threw them into the ashtray: "I don't want this matter to get out, understand?"
"Yes. ”
Adam's apple couldn't stop scrolling up and down, and the man nodded: "I've already done it on the cameraman's side, what you are holding in your hand is the negative, and there will definitely be no photos to circulate." ”
Knowing that what Meng Qidong needed was not to understand the order but to give him an affirmative answer, the man was still about to say something, and suddenly he heard the sound of high heels ticking at the gate.
His expression froze, and the face of a woman came to mind.
Meng Qidong heard the hesitation in his words, waved his hand, and said helplessly: "You go down first." ”
After saying that, he stopped looking at the man, but shifted his gaze to the folder on the table, what information in it was the result of his recent work.
"Yes!"
The man breathed a sigh of relief, and finally raised his head, he walked to the door and opened the door, then covered half of his face with one hand and gave Meng Yiran a place.
Meng Yiran, who didn't take him seriously at all, bowed her head slightly when she saw someone, and the expression on her face couldn't tell whether she was angry or happy, but if she looked closely, she could still see the disdain hidden under her eyes.
The man smiled bitterly, called the eldest lady, turned around and went out of the room, and did not forget to close it.
There was no servant in the corridor outside, and he pursed his lips in confusion, and then lowered his hand that was blocking his face, revealing a miserable face.
Various scars were mottled on the left half of his face, and even more excessively, a red scar of nearly 5 centimeters crossed his eyebrows, crossed his eyes, and finally fell to the place of his cheekbones, and when he closed his eyes, all the scars merged together and became a straight line.
The uninjured half of his face looked plain and unnoticed. In addition, the disfigured other half of the face will only cause people to feel disgusted, not compassionate.
The man smiled helplessly, and was just about to return to the place where he should go when he suddenly saw a cufflink in the corner, he picked it up and looked at it, and found that the name on it was printed with the housekeeper's abbreviation, and thought for a moment: "Why did it fall here?
I can't see anything unusual in his expression in the video, as if he really just wants to return things to the housekeeper who has been taking care of him.
The expression on Meng Qidong's face slowed slightly, and he shifted his gaze from the monitoring screen, and finally fell on Meng Yiran, who was standing silent: "What is the matter with me this time?"
"Grandpa, people already know it's wrong, so don't be angry anymore. ”
Lowering his head in shame, Meng Yiran pouted aggrievedly, his expression looked cute and cute, if it weren't for his more mean and shrewd appearance, he was afraid that he would be even more pitiful.
She threw the bag on the chair casually, then ran to Meng Qidong and squatted down, knocking his leg slightly: "I know I shouldn't do bad things at the Fu family's dinner, but it's Fu Shen's guy who has no eyes at all, just an ordinary little girl, he is actually a baby, isn't this slapping me in the face." ”
"Then who told you to follow behind his ass, you sent your face first!" Meng Qidong didn't have any reaction to her coquettishness, and his expression became even more indifferent: "Yiran, I told you before not to have too much contact with a man like Fu Shen, you can't handle him." ”
"You always say nice things, but I don't take a word of what I say to heart. Now that you know that I am your grandfather, what's the matter, worrying that the housekeeper will sue me?"
He asked rhetorically, and without looking at his granddaughter's expression and feeling her movements, he knew that her body was a little stiff now.
Meng Qidong's eyelids drooped, covering half of his dark eyes: "Don't think I don't know about the small actions you did in private, it's not impossible to find trouble with Jiang Nuan, but first of all, you have to have the ability to solve the follow-up accidents, instead of letting me wipe your ass." ”
His expression was gloomy, and he stared directly at the hair whirl above Meng Yiran's head: "Although you are the heir of the Meng family, if you are so brainless, I don't mind letting Meng Wu come up." ”
"That guy of his, is quite capable, at least better than you who are now immersed in love, Yiran, grandpa doesn't have so much time to wait for you to grow up. If you don't want to take responsibility, let grandpa make that choice for you, okay?"
His words were a naked threat, completely ignoring Meng Yiran's already stiff body and the movements of her hands that stopped: "Nothing is absolute, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, you never know when he will rise." ”
Hearing the name Meng Wu, the expression on Meng Yiran's face was not very good.
She remembered the scene where she bullied this cousin when she was a child, and her mouth moved: "He's an illegitimate child." ”
