"Father, I'm Wang Le. ”

Wang Dashao heard Mu Zhengnan's voice come out, and hurriedly said respectfully.

Mu Zhengnan on the phone chuckled with a hint of surprise: "Xiaole, is there something wrong?"

"I just returned to Feicheng and wanted to visit you in Yulinyuan, but I was afraid that you would be away on business, so I made a call first. Wang Le replied into the phone.

"Then come over now, there are no guests at home at night. Mu Zhengnan said very simply.

Immediately, Wang Le didn't say anything, ended the call with Mu Zhengnan, started the car and drove in the direction of Yulin Garden, Qixia Road, which he hadn't been to for a long time.

Twenty minutes later, when Wang Le's car passed the inspection and stopped in front of Mu Zhengnan's villa in Yulin Yuan, he saw that the other party was already standing on the steps in front of the door with his hands behind his back.

"Father, it's cold outside, let's go inside. ”

Wang Le hurriedly got out of the car, walked quickly to Mu Zhengnan, and said with some flattery.

Seeing Mu Zhengnan wave his hand, he immediately walked to the bottom of the steps, and said lightly: "Accompany me for a walk." ”

Wang Dashao dared not obey, obediently followed behind the old father-in-law, and walked along the road under the street lamp.

"I have worked in Jiangnan for more than 25 years, starting from the grassroots level in the most rural areas, all the way to the thin ice, walking on thin ice to this day, straight into the provincial capital, leaving the best time of my life in this land, asking myself to be conscientious and conscientious, with a little achievement, it is worthy of my conscience. ”

Mu Zhengnan whispered as he walked, as if he was talking to himself.

"You're leaving Gangnam?"

Wang Le, who was half a step behind, moved in his heart and asked softly.

I saw Mu Zhengnan stop, turned his head to look at Wang Le, who also stopped, and showed a smile: "Xiaole, do you know what my old father-in-law dislikes most about your son-in-law?"

Wang Le was stunned and shook his head a little helplessly.

Mu Zhengnan didn't look at Wang Le again, continued to take steps and walked up, and after a while, he said lightly: "You are too smart, sometimes you are terrifyingly smart, if I am your opponent, I will definitely do everything possible to kill you, otherwise, I will not be able to sleep." ”

Speaking of this, Mu Zhengnan stopped again, turned around, looked at Wang Le, and said solemnly: "Don't be too public, there is a word called Jinyi Night Walking, understand?"

Wang Le was shocked, a sudden look flashed in his eyes, and he bowed down and said: "The kid understands, he will definitely act in a low-key manner in the future, and he will no longer be sharp." ”

Mu Zhengnan showed appreciation, shook his head, and said: "Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, even if you are as deep as the sea, it is inevitable that there will be miscalculations, so it is better to keep a low profile." ”

After a pause, Mu Zhengnan sighed and continued: "This time, my father asked you to go to Hong Kong Island to preside over the overall affairs of the Mu family there, and by the time I knew it was too late, otherwise, I would have prevented you from going there, fortunately, you were also very careful, you knew how to retreat bravely, and did not leave anything to criticize on Hong Kong Island." ”

When Wang Le heard that the old father-in-law was opposed to going to Hong Kong Island to help their Mu family snatch huge benefits, his heart warmed slightly and he was moved.

This is really treating Wang Le as his own child, and not using him as a chess piece.

"In the future, if the Mu family has these things, try to get involved as little as possible, I don't want you to carry the burden of the family. Mu Zhengnan said slowly.

Wang Le's heart trembled, and he hurriedly lowered his head, not wanting the old father-in-law to see that his eyes were red.

For a while, I didn't know what words to express the emotion in my heart, only silence.

After a while, Mu Zhengnan said faintly: "Child, don't be blinded by hatred, if your mother is still alive, I believe she doesn't want to see such a situation." ”

Wang Le, who lowered his head, stiffened, he knew what his father-in-law meant, what he was talking about was the relationship between himself and the Su family, and more accurately, the father-son relationship between himself and his biological father Su Yunping, who did not get along with each other for old age.

"Father, I know, Hee-yeon also said so, the kid will learn to face it and no longer run away. Wang Le raised his head and looked at Mu Zhengnan and said seriously.

Mu Zhengnan looked at the other party for a long time, and after judging the truth of this sentence, he said with relief: "That's good." ”

"Let's go back and rest early, it's not too early. ”

Immediately, I saw Mu Zhengnan walking back, and after walking a few steps, he turned his back to Wang Le behind him, and said calmly: "Before leaving Jiangnan, I will go to Lefang County to worship your mother." ”

After finishing speaking, Mu Zhengnan didn't say anything more, and strode straight towards his villa.

Wang Le in the back stood in place, staring blankly at the old father-in-law disappearing into the tree-lined path at the bend of the road.

When Wang Le went to pick up the car in front of Mu Zhengnan's villa, the lights of the other party's villa had been extinguished.

The meeting with Mu Zhengnan tonight made Wang Le know that his old father-in-law is not like an ordinary political figure, rational and calm, and decisive.

At least in front of him Wang Le, Mu Zhengnan is not such a person, he is more emotional, and the weight of affection and righteousness moves Wang Le.

Without much thought, Wang Le knew that the reason why his father-in-law chose Jiangnan as the starting place of his career when he was young and stayed for 25 years, his mother Wang Xiaodie must be the most important factor.

When I heard Mu Xiyan say that the old father-in-law was young, for the sake of a woman, he wanted to kill Su Yunping with a gun.

At that time, when Wang Le heard it for the first time, he didn't think so, but when he knew that the woman was his own mother, everything changed...

Life is often so dramatic, more exciting than movies, more ups and downs, and this is the biggest feeling in Wang Le's heart.

In the dark study, Mu Zhengnan, who was standing by the window, couldn't help but sigh when he watched Wang Le stand in front of the door for a while before driving away.

Immediately, Mu Zhengnan turned around, turned on the light in the study, and then walked to the bookcase, picked up the brush, and wrote on the rice paper that had already been spread:

Thirty years of searching for swords,

A few times the leaves fell back and the branches were pulled.

Since I saw the peach blossoms,

Even now, there is no doubt about it.

After a long time, the ink on the rice paper had dried, and Mu Zhengnan put down the brush in his hand, the two-way eyes had long been blurred, and the lines of his face, which were hard as knives, had also become soft.

After a while, Mu Zhengnan rolled up the rice paper on which he wrote the poem, walked to the garbage can, took out a lighter and lit it, threw it into the bucket, and watched it burn slowly.

The light of the fire shone on Mu Zhengnan's face, constantly changing.

Some things, some people, in this world, only you know, that's enough.
