The study was smoky, and outside the study, in the crack of the door, a finger's width wide, the peeping woman was pinching the shawl in her hand. She wanted to rush in and question the man, but reason prevailed over impulse, and she turned around and headed back to the bedroom.

At the end of the corridor, the old man, who saw this scene in his eyes, came out of the darkness and looked in the direction where the woman had disappeared, and then walked towards the study.

He didn't knock on the door, but pushed open the door to his study and walked in.

He walked almost silently, but it was about a tacit understanding formed between master and servant for decades, and Thunder raised his head, and the old man's face gradually became clear in the smoke.

"Sir, why did you smoke again?"

Uncle Fang walked over, took the cigarette from Thunder's hand, confiscated the cigarette case and lighter, and finally fixed his eyes on the box.

Just for a second, he calmly picked up the box and walked towards the bookcase: "Why did you take this thing out again?"

Thunder smiled awkwardly: "It's nothing, I can't sleep and come out to sit." ”

Uncle Fang put the box back in its original place and paused: "I just saw my wife standing at the door. ”

Thunder was taken aback, but he knew very well that Uncle Fang would not lie to him, and he knew what he meant by mentioning such a sentence.

Thunder smiled bitterly: "Do you think I'm too merciful?"

Uncle Fang thought for a moment: "It's just that you are too merciful, but only to your wife, you are cruel to everyone else, including yourself. Of course, you can't get away with it, but if you think about it, even if you knew that someone deliberately designed it, you can't change it. People, you can't fight against fate, can you?"

"Fate?" said Thunder, as if suddenly realized, "yes, it's all fate." In fact, if I had been given another chance to choose, I would have made the same choice in that case. ”

Uncle Fang came over, picked up the cigarette butts in the ashtray and poured them into the trash can: "That's right, why bother with yourself? Besides, the young master and the young grandmother are also very good now, at least make up for some regrets." ”

Speaking of the little two, Thunder smiled: "If only they could have a child." ”

"Yes, I think the young master cares a lot about the young grandmother. Fang Bo paused, "It's just that this Bai family ...... It's hard to deal with. After all, Miss Bai has a life-saving grace for the young master. Moreover, the Bai family insisted that it was the young grandmother who caused Miss Bai to become a vegetative person. I'm afraid it won't look good then. ”

The smile on Lei Ting's face disappeared little by little, this question is really tricky, and it is better to say anything else, just because Bai Yuling saved Lei Ling back then, it is really unclear.

"There is also the relationship between my wife and the Bai family, and it will be very difficult for you to be caught in the middle when the time comes. ”

Lei Ting closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair: "It's not a matter of a day or two, I've been embarrassed for twenty years." Besides, Bai Yuling saved Brother Ling, and the Ye family also lost two lives to save us, how can this be counted?"

"Mr. ......"

Thunder interrupted him: "Okay, don't talk about it, which is more important, I have a mirror in my heart." ”

Uncle Fang nodded, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart: "It's not too early, you can go back and rest." ”

Thunder shook his head: "I can't sleep, you can sit with me for a while." ”

Knowing that he was upset and couldn't sleep, Uncle Fang nodded and came over to wait on the side.

Thunder frowned: "You sit down, what are you doing standing all the time, there is no one else here." ”

Uncle Fang awked off and sat down.

The two of them sat quietly for a while, no one spoke, and finally Thunder spoke: "I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night in the scorching heat before, so I got up and went to the yard to cool off, and the second or third child couldn't sleep, and we would play chess together." At that time, the house was lively...... But now, look at it, the whole old mansion, such a big yard, doesn't it look like a dead mansion?"

"Before, it was quite lively. I still remember that at that time, more than a dozen children got together to learn calligraphy from the eldest wife, Kunqu opera from the second wife, and the third wife was responsible for the family's food. You remember, at that time, Young Master Luo and Young Master Long Jue and Young Master Qilin always loved to run to us. ”

"I remember, several old ladies are good friends, and for the sake of these sons, the old ladies also got a few bedrooms for them in the main courtyard. I remember one time, Brother Ling and a few of them were in trouble outside, and people came to the door, but we were not there, and it was Sister Pei'er and Qinghe who settled the matter. ”

Speaking of Lei Qiongpei and Lei Qinghe, Uncle Fang also smiled: "Yes, the eldest young master and eldest lady showed extraordinary courage and resourcefulness at a very young age, which is very similar to you." And the second young master, on the surface, looks wild and uninhibited, but in fact, he is the softest inside, which is very similar to the eldest wife. ”

"So, when she left, she didn't take Brother Ling away, right?"

It is about night that makes it easy to peel off the hard shell of one's body, revealing the soft flesh inside, and the two old men are in the study, recalling the time that has been sealed in the dust for twenty years.

In the past 20 years, in the Lei family, no one has mentioned the divorce case that caused a lot of trouble in the city. Even now, when it comes to his ex-wife, Thunder only uses one person to call "her" instead.

But Uncle Fang knew very well that he didn't mention his name because he didn't dare.

"Sir, you know the situation very well, don't you, the eldest lady has no other way. You and her childhood sweetheart know very well her temperament, and she is really better to be broken than broken. You asked her to stay, didn't that force her to a dead end?"

Thunder looked at a certain point stupidly, as if petrified, and after a while, he covered his face, and a sentence leaked between his fingers: "Yes, if she doesn't leave, what will happen to the two children?"

He is lonely, sad and regretful, like a dying old man, when he recalls the past, he finds that those sonorous vows, those heroic careers, and those intimate lovers, in the end only himself.

"Didn't the eldest young master and the eldest lady send you voice and video every New Year's holiday? Just last Christmas, when you went to New City, didn't you still have dinner with the eldest lady's family, and the two children even made a Christmas hat for their grandfather. ”

I was very happy to mention this thunder, but I soon became sad again: "I only see them once a year, and the two old ladies fly over every three or five times, which makes me look like an outsider." ”

Uncle was amused by him, and when he laughed, Thunder laughed too.

......

At eight o'clock, after the doctor's round, Qilin sent two old ladies to the ward, and it happened that Lei Ling had something to go to the company, so he asked Qilin to act as a driver.

In the ward, Xiao Beiyuan accompanied the two old ladies to eat breakfast, and the sweet and crispy "grandma" and "grandmother" made the two old ladies smile. Knowing that the little couple really planned to have a child this time, the two old ladies were even more happy, and the old lady of the Rui family directly took off the jade jade bracelet on her wrist and put it on Xiao Beiyuan's hand.

Xiao Beiyuan knew very well how expensive that thing was, and was so frightened that he dodged for a while: "Grandma, this ...... I can't ask for it. ”

The old lady took her hand and put the bracelet on: "Don't be polite to grandma, you will take it if you give it to you." ”

The old lady of the Lei family smiled and patted Xiao Beiyuan: "Your grandmother will give it to you, and you will take it." ”

The old lady of the Rui family squinted at her old sister: "You don't mean it?"

The old lady of the Lei family snorted: "I'm not as vulgar as you." What if this thing accidentally drops?"

As if angry, the old lady of the Rui family snorted lightly and looked at Xiao Beiyuan, who was panicked: "It's okay, grandma wants as much as this thing, but it can be thrown hard." ”

It's common for two old ladies to fight each other, this is starting to be richer than anyone, right?

Sure enough, the old lady of the Lei family said slowly: "Aren't you going to sign for the girl, take it out?"

"Yes, yes, I'm happy to forget about this stubble. ”

With the help of Mu's mother, the two old ladies opened the two brown paper bags and took out the contents inside.

Before Xiao Beiyuan could see clearly, the old lady of the Lei family turned the last page and stuffed the pen into her hand: "Come, girl, sign here." ”

"What is this? Grandma, grandma, how are you so mysterious?"

"If you don't die this time, your grandmother and I will think about giving you some gifts. After thinking about it, there is nothing else, and I am still stunned for what to do, sign quickly. ”

"What do you need me to sign to send me?" Xiao Beiyuan had a bad premonition in his heart, and he didn't hold the pen and didn't do it, he wanted to go to see it, but was held down by the old lady of the Lei family.

"Girl, listen to grandma. Let's not talk about those things when I was a child, let's just say that you and Lei Ling have been married until now, and our two old ladies haven't given you any gifts. It's not your birthday coming, let's make it up together. These are not expensive gifts, they are just a little bit of our heart. ”

When she mentioned her birthday, Xiao Beiyuan suddenly remembered it, and laughed silly: "Yes, grandma, you didn't say that I forgot, it's my birthday in a few days." ”

The old lady of the Rui family was a little anxious, tore off the old sister's hand, and put a few documents in front of Xiao Beiyuan one by one: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just some real estate, and we bought insurance for you, and some overseas funds." Don't think about it too much, not only you have it, but you also have Brother Qinghe and Sister Pei, we are not partial, are we?"

The old lady of the Lei family nodded: "Yes, yes, the palms and backs of the hands are all meat, we are not partial." ”

Xiao Beiyuan flipped through the pages one by one, his eyes widened and were about to fall: "It's nothing, I can't ask for such a valuable thing." If Lei Ling knew, he would definitely have to scold me. ”

"How dare he?" the old lady of the Rui family glared, "If that rabbit cub scolds you, I will kill him." ”

Xiao Beiyuan took out one of the documents, and asked while reading it: "Then what is this?

Before coming today, the two old ladies made enough mental preparations, and those real estate fund insurances they could have countless arguments and countless reasons to persuade Xiao Beiyuan to accept it, only this red winery, they were terrified.

Xiao Beiyuan knew that the two old ladies had a red winery under their names, which was in Yunnan Province, and was later acquired by Luo Ange's winery.

"Grandma, grandma, isn't this red winery your decades of hard work, you can't transfer the equity to me. ”

How do you feel that they have put all their wealth on her?

The old lady of the Lei family took a step back: "Okay, let's talk about the red winery later, you sign these documents first, this is fair, you can sign it with confidence." ”

Being stuffed with so many things at once, Xiao Beiyuan was shocked: "That...... It's too much, can I just have the same?"

"You stupid boy, if you want to survive in the Lei family, you can fight those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, how can you do without anything. After signing it all, my grandmother will tell you the story of this red winery. ”

"That...... Can I give Lei Ling a call, let's discuss?"

Xiao Beikite's original intention was to delay the army, who knew that the old lady of the Lei family directly dialed Lei Ling's phone and pressed the speakerphone.

"Grandma, what's wrong?"

"I came with your grandmother today and sent something to Xiaobei, she was timid and didn't dare to ask for it. You tell her. ”

Lei Ling laughed: "Daughter-in-law, ......"

Xiao Bei Yuan glanced at the faces of the two old ladies and swallowed his saliva: "Lei Ling...... Well, my grandmother and grandmother gave me real estate, funds, insurance, ...... And also...... There is also a red winery equity transfer letter, there are too many for me to ask for. ”

I thought Lei Ling would say don't ask for it, but who knew that the guy laughed: "If they give it to you, you can take it, and it should be a meeting gift for our unborn child." Don't forget, you promised my dad that you would have two. ”

Immediately afterwards, Qilin's voice came: "Sister, you listen to what your brother told you, no matter what the two old ladies give, you can bear it with peace of mind, this is what you deserve." ”

Xiao Beiyuan: "Isn't this good? You can't be greedy." ”

"Cousin, why is your wife so cute?"

Lei Ling's impatient voice: "Get out of the way." ”

"Daughter-in-law. His voice immediately softened, "Listen to me, the old lady gives it to you, and she has their own considerations, so it won't hurt you." If you don't, they'll be sad. ”

The two old ladies nodded like garlic: "Yes, yes, yes, we are really sad." ”

Later, Mu's mother laughed so much that tears came out.

Hung up the phone, Xiao Beiyuan still felt like she was on pins and needles, she always felt that everything since she was hospitalized was weird, Lei Ting and Uncle Fang were weird, the two old ladies were weird, and Lei Ling was weird, but she couldn't tell what was weird.

Intuitively, I only knew that they wouldn't harm her.

After some tossing, the signing was finally over, and the two old ladies smiled and carefully put the documents they brought back into the file bag, as if they were treating rare treasures.

The three of them sat down, and the old lady of the Lei family asked, "Do you really promise Brother Ling that his father will have two?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Beiyuan blushed, and couldn't help but defend himself: "I really didn't think about it that much at the time, Dad took a few names for us to choose, Lei Ling chose two, I also think it's good, who knows......"

The old lady was quick and asked, "Are you worried about the Bai family?"

It's rare for someone to understand themselves in seconds, Xiao Beiyuan nodded violently as if he saw a confidant: "Yes, I told Lei Ling, now is not the time to have children." ”

The old lady of the Rui family raised her eyebrows: "Then what did Brother Ling say?"

Xiao Beiyuan thought about it, the two chatted a lot and extensively last night, but Lei Ling didn't seem to give a definite answer when it came to having children.

As soon as she told her about last night, the admiring glances of the two old ladies drifted over the old one after another.

"Your consideration is right, your grandmother and I also think that the Bai family should have other motives. But no matter what, girl, you have to believe Brother Ling. No matter what time it is, you have to be convinced that he loves you. ”

"I believe it, just as I love him no matter what time it is. ”

She is so transparent that it makes people feel distressed, and the two old ladies put away their worries and naturally transition the topic to what happened when they were young.

"When you were a child, you lived in our house for a few years, Brother Ling really treated you like a baby, holding it in your mouth for fear of melting, holding it in your hand for fear of falling, Qinghe They can't hug you. He was timid when he was a child, and when he was five or six years old, he had to sleep with his mother, saying that he was afraid that the monster would bite him. But after you came, he took you to sleep in the children's room alone and took good care of you. You were also well-behaved at that time, you didn't cry or make trouble, and you followed Brother Ling's ass every day and called brother. Later, your grandparents, me, Brother Ling, his grandfather, and your grandparents got together and said that they would order a baby for you. ”

The old lady of the Rui family took over the conversation: "That's not a joke, it's true, you swore in front of the ancestors of the Lei family and kowtowed, and your name is still written in the Lei family tree." ”

This part of Xiao Beiyuan was quite interested, and blinked his big eyes: "Really, then why don't we remember?"

The two old ladies glanced at each other, the pain in their eyes flashed, and finally the old lady of the Lei family spoke: "You haven't been together for more than ten or twenty years, so I forgot." But it doesn't matter, I'll remember it someday. ”

"I think of one thing, once, you were feeding the fish by the lake, and you almost fell into the lake, Brother Ling slammed his head on the railing for you, and he had a few stitches at the time, and now he still has a scar. Right here, when he comes back you can see if he's still there. ”

The old lady of the Rui family pointed to a location, and Xiao Beiyuan was very surprised: "Really, he also saved me when he was a child." ”

The pain in the old lady of the Lei family deepened in her eyes, and she sighed: "Next, grandma is going to tell you about the red winery." ”

"Girl, this red winery was originally your Ye family's property, and your grandmother and I have just kept it for you for so many years. ”

Xiao Bei Kite: "......"

"The red winery was built by your grandparents back then, and then there was an accident at night, and your grandmother entrusted you and your two brothers to us on her deathbed......" The old lady had red eyes, "It's us who are not good, they trust us so much, but we lost their treasures." ”

The old lady of the Rui family grabbed the old sister's hand, and her eyes were red: "In the first few years, I was looking for you like crazy with your grandmother, and then I heard that you were in the Sunflower Orphanage in Y City, and we rushed over non-stop, but we were still one step late. For so many years, we have been investigating the fire at the orphanage...... Brother Ling has already found some clues, and I believe that it will soon be possible to find out who is behind the ghost. ”

You know what it's like? It's that you have to force yourself to put on your armor, pick up your weapons, and appear in front of everyone as if you were invulnerable, to resist all the slander and slander, to resist the malice of hell, to resist all the evil forces. You force yourself to go from the sunshine to the darkness to the mud to hell, and slowly you think that the whole world is black. But as soon as a beam of light comes through, you immediately throw away your armor......

Xiao Beiyuan has always felt that he is living a sober and enthusiastic life, knowing what he wants and what he doesn't want. Even now, she is sober in her heart, and she has love, use and temptation for Lei Ling.

Although there is more love in it, she has not forgotten the purpose of her coming to Cannes to marry him.

But now, after the old ladies said a few words, she threw away her armor and cried profusely.

She is too bitter and tired, for so many years, carrying so many things forward, she never dares to stay and slack off for a moment.

The two old ladies also wiped their tears, and the three of them hugged their heads and cried.

Global Group, in the elevator, Qilin put away his usual cynicism: "Brother, are the two old ladies really just to give Xiaobei those things?"

Lei Ling glanced at him: "What do you suspect?"

Qilin played with the car keys: "I always think that the two old ladies must have noticed something, so they can't wait to give those things to Xiaobei." It's been twenty years, and you haven't thought that they don't like the woman surnamed Lin, is it really just because he ruined your parents' marriage?

"You think it has something to do with the Night Family?"

"My gut tells me it must have something to do with the night house. Qilin analyzed, "At first, the woman surnamed Lin rejected Xiaobei, I thought it was related to Bai Yuling, but then I thought about it and felt that it was wrong, it shouldn't be that simple." Also, after Bai Yuling's accident, why did she go to Switzerland in such a hurry, just because the Bai family was the shareholder of that sanatorium? I feel more like trying to cover up what we don't want to be known. And I reminded you before, Bai Yutang's business is not very clean, you better not get your hands dirty, so as not to wash it when you get it. ”

The elevator opened, and the two of them walked to the office, Lei Ling thought for a while: "Are you on a bar with Bai Yutang?"

Kirin admitted frankly: "Yes, I just got on the bar with that little crumb." In the past, I was too lazy to worry about him because of your face, and he didn't dare to cross in front of me anyway. But I'm here today, if he dares to embarrass Xiaobei in the future, I won't spare him. ”

Lei Ling knows very well when the feud between Qilin and Bai Yutang began, several years ago, when Lei Ling and Bai Yuling had just established their relationship, Bai Yutang, as Lei Ling's brother-in-law, was called a mixed bag, and anyone who saw him had to be polite. He took a group of people to play in the club under Lei Ling's name, and when he was having fun, he didn't know which one of them mentioned it idly, comparing Lei Ling's mother with Bai Yutang's aunt. These two, one is Thunder's ex-wife and the other is Thunder's current wife, and it is normal to be compared. Who knew that person had a hole in his brain, in order to please Bai Yutang, he degraded Lei Ting's mother, and even degraded the Rui family to a third-class and ninth-rate generation. This was nothing, but Bai Yutang was also drinking, and according to the words of the flatterer, he said how Lei Ling's mother said about the Rui family.

I don't know if someone in that group of people deliberately brought the Qilin away, or if Bai Yutang was unlucky, in short, all those undesirable words were heard by the Qilin. The name of the Demon King of the Mixed World is not called in vain, Qilin thinks that you can say that I am mud and can't support the wall, you can't say that my family, especially my sister-in-law, you scumbags are not even worthy of lifting shoes for my sister-in-law.
