Chapter 22: Reunion Night

Two days later, the Mid-Autumn Festival was over, and everyone in the Zhong family went back to have a reunion dinner with Zhong Jian. Zhong Zhiyan arrived early and drank tea with Zhong Jian in the garden.

"How does it feel to be in an investment company?" Zhong Jian asked.

Zhong Zhiyan lowered his head embarrassedly, "Grandpa, I really don't know how to manage the company or anything." ”

Looking at Zhong Zhiyan's frustrated appearance, Zhong Jian smiled kindly, "You just came back, it won't be normal, learn slowly." ”

Zhong Zhiyan smiled awkwardly, "I'm so old, it's too late to learn now." ”

"I started my business at almost fifty years old, much later than you. ”

As soon as Zhong Jian said this, Zhong Zhiyan really had nothing to say, Zhong Jian continued: "You started much later than Zhiqi, but the key is whether you have the heart to learn." There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of those who have a heart. What's more, there is grandpa who fully supports you. ”

Zhong Jian gushed endlessly, and Zhong Zhiyan lowered his head and listened to Zhong Jian's teachings.

"You haven't met your father, he's a very smart guy, he's a very young man who can settle accounts, and people keep saying that he can grow up to do big business. ”

Zhong Jian was moved as he spoke, and Zhong Zhiyan comforted him, "Grandpa, you drink tea." ”

Zhong Jian, who calmed down his emotions, looked at Zhong Zhiyan and smiled, just like looking at his deceased son. When Zhong Qiaoyun arrived at the garden, he saw such a harmonious picture.

"What are you talking about? It's time to eat. Zhong Qiaoyun smiled and approached Zhong Jian and Zhong Zhiyan.

Seeing Zhong Qiaoyun, Zhong Zhiyan immediately stood up, "Auntie." ”

Zhong Qiaoyun nodded at Zhong Zhiyan, and then looked at Zhong Jian, "Dad, go back, it's time to eat." ”

Zhong Jian got up, and Zhong Zhiyan helped Zhong Jian and Zhong Qiaoyun to walk back together.

Zhong Zhiqi was the last to arrive, followed by Song Shiyun. The two came in holding hands, and everyone present understood. Zhong Qiaoyun looked at Zhong Zhiqi and Song Shiyun sharply, but did not speak.

"Zhiqi brought a friend back. Zhong Jian said first.

"Grandpa, this is Shiyun, you've seen it before. Zhong Zhiqi replied generously.

Song Shiyun was very nervous, she wanted to shake off Zhong Zhiqi's hand, not that she didn't like it, but she just felt that the atmosphere was inappropriate.

"Grandpa. Song Shiyun called out quietly.

"Shiyun has brought you a gift. Zhong Zhiqi said again.

The maid took the box, Zhong Jian smiled and said, "If you have a heart, since you are here, you can sit down." ”

Zhong Jian spoke, and the family sat down to eat. Because Song Shiyun was a guest, Zhong Jian chatted with her.

"Shiyun, I haven't seen you in years. ”

Song Shiyun smiled shyly, "Yes, I haven't seen it since graduating from college." ”

"You're a big change from when you were in college. Zhong Jian said politely, "I heard that you went to work at the university later?"

Song Shiyun nodded, "I don't know anything else except reading." ”

"Talented. ”

At this time, Zhong Zhiqi looked at Zhong Zhiyan opposite, "Shiyun, that's my cousin Zhong Zhiyan, have you seen it?" ”

Zhong Zhiqi's words embarrassed both Zhong Zhiyan and Song Shiyun, and Zhong Qiaoyun's expression became even worse.

"I have listened to Mr. Song's class, and it is very good. ”

Zhong Zhiyan wanted to make the atmosphere more harmonious, but Zhong Zhiqi grabbed the handle, "Is it?

"Yes......" Zhong Zhiyan thought for a moment, "Art history?"

Zhong Zhiqi didn't expect Zhong Zhiyan to really answer, and Song Shiyun nodded.

"It's so good, I can hear it in the clouds, this is called no artistic cells, right?" Zhong Zhiyan laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Art history is rarely understood, and some students who have been in the past semester do not understand it. Song Shiyun explained for Zhong Zhiyan.

"After that, I'm going to go and listen to more lectures, maybe I'll be enlightened. ”

As soon as Zhong Zhiyan said casually, Zhong Zhiqi's cold eyes on the opposite side swept over. He had no choice but to put away his smile, lower his head, and continue to eat.

"Learning is a good thing, live to learn, and I will listen to poetry classes when I have the opportunity in the future. Zhong Jian said with a smile.

Song Shiyun smiled awkwardly, she didn't know if she could get her college job back.

After eating, Zhong Qiaoyun said to Song Shiyun: "Shiyun, it's rare for you to come, Auntie will take you to the garden to sit." ”

"I'll go too. Zhong Zhiqi said immediately.

Zhong Qiaoyun glared at Zhong Zhiqi, but because Zhong Jian and Zhong Zhiyan were present, they did not have a seizure.

When he arrived at the garden, Zhong Qiaoyun asked Song Shiyun straight to the point, "I heard that something happened to your family recently?"

Faced with Zhong Qiaoyun's direct inquiry, Song Shiyun was a little at a loss, and she threw a look of help to Zhong Zhiqi.

"Her ......"

"I'll ask Shiyun!" Zhong Qiaoyun simply interrupted Zhong Zhiqi's words.

Song Shiyun had no choice but to answer by herself, "There is a little situation in our family. ”

"Isn't it a little, your dad is hiding outside and not coming back?" Zhong Qiaoyun asked directly.

Song Shiyun lowered her head, not knowing how to answer.

"Mom, it's her dad's business, not her business. Zhong Zhiqi couldn't help but speak.

Zhong Qiaoyun glared at Zhong Zhiqi, "I won't go around the bend with you, I came forward to solve Song Sixian's matter before, and I have done my best to you." Shiyun, you are a sensible child, what do you say? I have no opinion on you, you and Zhiqi are a good thing, and it is to blame that your family is too angry. ”

Song Shiyun had no confidence in front of Zhong Qiaoyun, lowered her head and was silent.

Zhong Zhiqi couldn't look at it, "Mom, these are her family's affairs, and they have nothing to do with her." ”

"It's okay?" Zhong Qiaoyun sneered and looked at Zhong Zhiqi, "How can it be so easy, can the blood relatives be severed? Your grandfather has found Zhong Zhiyan back." ”

Zhong Zhiqi knew that what Zhong Qiaoyun cared about most was actually this, "I don't care." ”

Zhong Qiaoyun stood up angrily, "It's such a waste that I worked so hard to raise. ”

Zhong Zhiqi wanted to stand up and refute, but was pulled by Song Shiyun, "Don't say it." ”

Zhong Zhiqi and Zhong Qiaoyun couldn't convince anyone, and the two parted unhappily. Zhong Zhiqi and Song Shiyun left, Zhong Qiaoyun suppressed his anger and calmly walked to the study to find Zhong Jian.

"Dad, is Zhiyan gone?" Zhong Qiaoyun asked casually first.

"Well, I let him go first. Zhong Jian replied.

Zhong Qiaoyun sat down on the sofa, and Zhong Jian sat at the desk reading a book.

"Dad, Zhiyan has been going to Jinchuang for a while, and several projects he has invested in are not ideal, I think it is better to let him return to the group. ”

Zhong Jian glanced at Zhong Qiaoyun, "He just came back, and he doesn't understand a lot of things, so it will be fine after a while." ”

Zhong Qiaoyun smiled, "It's because he doesn't understand anything, and someone still needs to teach him." ”

Zhong Jian shook his head, "I used to be in business and no one taught me, and young people can grow up faster by themselves." It's smooth sailing, but now I don't know how to cherish it!"

Zhong Qiaoyun was silent, Zhong Jian looked at her and said, "You don't care about Zhiyan, I have it, you can see what Zhiqi will do first." ”

Zhong Qiaoyun's expression was stiff, not because he heard criticism of Zhong Zhiqi, but because Zhong Jian now connects Zhong Zhiyan with his youth from time to time. Her worries grew heavier and heavier.

Coming out of Zhong's house, Zhong Zhiqi and Song Shiyun drove back. Song Shiyun didn't speak, and Zhong Zhiqi looked at her worriedly. He was most afraid of seeing her so preoccupied, and if Xin Zhi hadn't called her this time to tell him about her, he would have been kept in the dark.

"What are you thinking?" Zhong Zhiqi asked with a pretended ease of relief.

Song Shiyun sighed, "I'm thinking about work......"

"Don't worry, I'll figure it out. In order to reassure Song Shiyun, Zhong Zhiqi rushed to answer.

"And Auntie......"

"Don't take my mother's words to heart. Zhong Zhiqi said.

"Auntie is right, you shouldn't come to stir up the troubled waters of our house. Song Shiyun said dejectedly. Today was supposed to be a day of family reunion, and it should be with Hemeimei, but the Zhong family was so unhappy because of her.

"My mother's thoughts don't represent mine, I love you. ”

The affectionate and calm Zhong Zhiqi made Song Shiyun feel pressured at this time, "But we still can't escape from the family for a long time, can't we?"

There was no solution to this question for a while, Zhong Zhiqi looked at the full moon in the night sky, it was a waste to discuss these troubles on such a beautiful night, and he didn't want Song Shiyun to feel a burden in his heart.

"I don't mean anything else to take you home, I just don't want you to be left alone for the holidays today. ”
