Wan Guohou asked with concern, "Mrs. Nan, what's wrong with you?"

Tao Baihe smiled reluctantly, but that smile was like a crack in a glass, abrupt and stiff. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "I'm fine, I also remember, I seem to have a friend, and it's also today's birthday. ”

"Really?" said Wan Guohou, pretending to be surprised, "such a coincidence?"

He looked at the other two confused women, "Actually, it's my birthday today, so I remember my deceased friend's birthday so well." ”

"Ahh The three women cried out together.

"Master Hou, happy birthday!" You Jinlan reacted quickly and said immediately.

Wan Guohou said lightly: "Thank you, but I don't have a birthday." There was a deep sadness in his eyes, "After the death of this friend of mine, I will not be a birthday, because birthday will remind me that he is no longer alive." He glanced at the absent-minded Tao Baihe, "Mrs. Nan, can you introduce that friend?"

Tao Baihe's face turned pale, "Master Hou, my friend is also gone." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Wan Guohou sighed, "It seems that December 21st is not a pleasant day for many people. ”

Tao Baihe seemed to be in a trance, "Master Hou, that friend of yours...... Are you British, too?"

"If you're asking about his ancestry, I think, he's of English ancestry. Wan Guohou said meaningfully, "But why do you ask that?"

Tao Baihe breathed a sigh of relief, "Because I suddenly felt that I was talking about the same person as Hou Ye, but I remembered that you only came to China this year, and you must not know him." ”

"So, Mrs. Nan, a friend, has been dead for many years?"

Tao Baihe hesitated, "I'm not sure about the specific time, it should be 2011." She subconsciously avoided Wan Guohou's focused gaze.

"Listening to Mrs. Nan, did you not attend his funeral?" Wan Guohou asked in surprise.

"I had something to do at the time, and when I knew that he died, it had been a while and I didn't attend the funeral. Tao Baihe was a little embarrassed, "This is also a piece of my heart, I always feel uncomfortable when I think about it over the years." ”

"Master Hou......" Sui Qingliu glanced at Tao Baihe worriedly, and stopped talking.

Wan Guohou knew that she wanted to play a round, so he pushed the boat and said, "Blame me, everyone was very happy today." He smiled, "I didn't expect Mrs. Nan to miss the old love like this." ”

This comforting word not only failed to make Tao Baihe feel better, but made her face even more ugly, and even You Jinlan could see her uneasiness.

"Master Hou, it's really a pity that you don't have a birthday. You Jinlan rolled her eyes and took the initiative to say.

"Oh?"

"A big man like you will receive many precious gifts for your birthday. It's not your birthday, and many people who want to give you gifts will have one less chance to express their hearts. You Jinlan's Mandarin has a dialect accent unique to the magic capital, soft and glutinous, which forms a strong contrast with her appearance.

"yes. Sui Qingliu echoed, "Every time you give up a chance to celebrate your birthday, it's a loss." ”

Wan Guohou smiled slightly, "Thank you for your kindness, but I shouldn't have a birthday in the past few years." Unless, there's something to celebrate. He looked at Tao Baihe, "Mrs. Nan, I apologize to you once again for mentioning something that made you sad." ”

"No, no, no!" Tao Baihe hurriedly said, "It's not your fault, you didn't know beforehand. ”

A few people talked for a while, and Wan Guohou saw that Tao Baihe was still not in high spirits, so he said: "It's not early, do you have any arrangements for the evening?"

"I promised Xiangxiang to wait for her to get out of school and accompany her to visit a teacher. You Jinlan said.

"My husband has something to do today, I have to go back to accompany Jiaojiao. Tao Baihe was a little helpless, "Although I really want to eat with Master Hou." ”

"So, what about Doctor Sui?" Wan Guohou asked.

"I'm afraid that Yu Yijian is too naughty at home alone. Sui Qingliu smiled bitterly and said, "My husband also has something to do today." ”

"Okay, then, I'll wait until Christmas Eve to meet a few more people. Wan Guohou smiled and said, "Did you all drive out?"

"Just I drove. Tao Baihe replied, "I'll stop by Xiaoyou, and I'll send her back." Liu Liu is in the same direction as Hou Ye, Hou Ye, why don't you work hard and send Liu Liu back?"

Tao Baihe's casual instructing made Sui Qingliu deeply frightened, and she hurriedly said: "No, I'll just take a taxi, it's not very far." ”

"How can that be done?" Wan Guohou stood up and fastened the button of his jacket, "Doctor Sui, please let me take you home." He winked mischievously, "Anyway, I'm an investor in the good family now, can't you give me this little face?"

Seeing Wan Guohou say this, Sui Qingliu couldn't insist anymore, "Then I'll trouble you." ”

Several people left the chocolate shop and walked to the parking lot.

A silver Rolls-Royce slowly drove in front of Wan Guohou, and then, T3 got out and opened the door diligently.

Wan Guohou made a gesture and asked Sui Qingliu to get in the car first, and then, he turned to say goodbye to Tao Baihe and You Jinlan. "Thank you for accompanying me through a pleasant afternoon, and I hope I didn't bring you unpleasant memories. ”

"You're so polite!" Tao Baihe said with a smile, "I have gained a lot today. ”

"Me too, and I'm looking forward to New York Fashion Week. You Jinlan held Tao Baihe and smiled.

"Well, I'll go first, see you on Christmas Eve. ”

"Goodbye!"

Wan Guohou got into the Rolls-Royce, still with a gentlemanly smile on his face. "The two women are kind-hearted. He sighed in his heart for a while, and then looked at Sui Qingliu, "Doctor Sui, will you send you home directly?"

"Okay, excuse me. Sui Qingliu replied while waving goodbye to the two companions outside the car window.

Wan Guohou winked, T3 nodded knowingly, and started the car.

When the car drove out of the parking lot, Wan Guohou asked, "Doctor Sui, did I say the wrong thing today?"

"No, I don't. Sui Qingliu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "Actually, what you said today is a good thing. ”

Now, it was Wan Guohou's turn to show a surprised look.

"You don't know, Bai He has always been reckless and often speaks too straight, and as a friend, I can't persuade her. Sui Qingliu sighed softly, "I've been worried about her for a long time, in case I meet someone who is very deep in the city, she will easily offend people like this." ”

"Dr. Sui is so kind. Wan Guohou said appreciatively.

"It's nothing. I'm just afraid that she will offend people by what she says, and I don't know it yet. You didn't say the wrong thing today, perhaps, today's incident can make her a little more restrained in the future, think about it before speaking. ”

Wan Guohou was noncommittal, and after a while, he said slowly: "I think that Mrs. Nan may not know that she speaks too directly. ”

Sui Qingliu said in surprise, "I don't quite understand what you mean. ”

Wan Guohou said lightly: "Except for a small number of people who have a different way of thinking, most of the people who claim to be very straightforward just don't care about other people's feelings. ”

Seeing that Sui Qingliu was deep in thought, he laughed, "Doctor Sui, when I saw your side face, I suddenly remembered Ling Lang. His facial features concentrate the characteristics of you and Dean Yu. ”

At the mention of Yu Yichuan, Sui Qingliu's face immediately became much softer, "He still has to lose weight, in fact, he was a very beautiful child when he was a child, but when he grew up, he didn't pay attention to exercise too much, and he loved to eat, alas, ......"

It's raining. Dense raindrops pierced the layers of curtains, enveloping the magic capital in a gray nightmare.

Wan Guohou looked at the water droplets that were falling from the car window, "Doctor Sui, there is one thing that I have been hesitating about, and I don't know whether to tell you or not. ”

Sui Qingliu was frightened by the solemnity in his tone, "Master Hou, what's wrong?"

Wan Guohou sighed, "Actually, I thought Dean Yu would tell you at first. He pondered his words, "On November 9th, you have a meeting in Nanjing, right?"

"yes, what's wrong?" Sui Qingliu asked nervously.

"I happened to be at Shanjia that day, and I was talking to Dean Yu about the foundation. ”

"Well, I heard my husband say it. ”

Later, Sha Fujia took Ling Lang over. Wan Guohou seemed careless, but he didn't miss any slight change in Sui Qingliu's expression.

"I know that. Sui Qingliu relaxed slightly, "You are talking about my son suffering from acute gastroenteritis, right?" she laughed, "Later, I took my son for a check-up, but he had a little diarrhea, maybe it was a digestive problem." It's okay now. ”

"That's not what I'm talking about. Wan Guohou said solemnly, "Actually, I also think that Ling Lang is not acute gastroenteritis. ”

Sui Qingliu frowned, "Then how could the head teacher let him go home?"

"Ling Lang is likely to have been bullied at school. Wan Guohou said softly, "And he doesn't want you to know that he has been bullied." ”

"What?!" Sui Qingliu immediately sat up straight, her eyes widened wide, and her voice became sharper, "How do you know?"

"I don't have direct evidence to prove it, but think about it. Wan Guohou said unhurriedly, "On that day, Qianfeng College and two other colleges and universities jointly held a social event, and Ling Lang had a problem in the toilet because of an upset stomach, soiled his clothes, and lost his mobile phone. Then, he happened to meet Sha Fujia, who was attending an event at Qianfeng Academy. The warm-hearted Shavojia immediately took him to change his clothes and gave him a new mobile phone. ”

"Is there anything wrong with this?" Sui Qingliu asked suspiciously, "These things don't mean that my son is being bullied." ”

"According to Shavogar's description, of course, there is nothing wrong. But what if things are not what he says?" Wan Guohou said, "Please think about it from a different angle, if you are a little boy and meet an unreasonable classmate at school, but the other party is taller than you, fights better than you, and brings a group of friends who are also foolish, they rush up, snatch your phone, take off your clothes, and lock you in the toilet......"

"Master Hou!" Sui Qingliu was chilled when she heard this, and under the horror, she couldn't care about etiquette, "Please don't guess!"

"I'm not guessing. Wan Guohou touched his beard lightly, "Actually, I felt that Sha Fujia's speech was very unnatural at that time, so I immediately sent someone to investigate......"

He saw Sui Qingliu's body trembling slightly, so he stopped.

"What did you investigate?" Sui Qingliu asked nervously.

"Ling Lang did have a stomach problem that day, but he didn't vomit, so he didn't lose his phone when he vomited. In addition, someone saw that after Ling Lang entered the toilet, a tall boy led several classmates into the men's toilet. What happened behind the scenes, no one else knows. In all, the group stayed inside for about fifteen minutes. Then, before leaving, they put the 'Cleaning' sign at the door of the men's restroom. ”

An angry flush appeared on Sui Qingliu's cheeks. Wan Guohou continued: "It didn't take long for Shafujia to go to the toilet. Later, he asked one of his classmates to ask Ling Lang's homeroom teacher for leave. I don't know the rest of the story. ”

"What the hell are these people going to do? My son has a very good personality and will never provoke others!" Sui Qingliu said indignantly.

Wan Guohou sneered in his heart, but his face was calm. "Doctor Sui, please don't blame Ling Lang. In my opinion, it is likely that Ling Lang begged Shavojia to keep it a secret for him, including that he had acute gastroenteritis and soiled his clothes. ”

"Why?"

"Because he didn't want to be scolded by Dean Yu. Wan Guohou's understatement made Sui Qingliu so embarrassed that even the whites of his eyes were red.

"My husband is really strict. "But he loves children very much." ”

"I believe it. ”

"I really didn't expect that Yu Yijian would hide it from me and my husband in this matter. Sui Qingliu's eyes were red, and he didn't know whether he was angry or sad.

"Probably he thinks this matter is too embarrassing and wants to solve it himself. Wan Guohou said.

"Alas. Sui Qingliu's sad and distressed appearance was like an old hen guarding her chicks, which made Wan Guohou want to laugh.

"But I still have to warn you. Wan Guohou said, "Sha Fujia is a college student after all, and his family background is also a little special, and his various habits of dealing with the world may not have a good influence on Ling Lang." ”

Sui Qingliu pondered this sentence, and after a while, she said, "Master Hou, you may not understand. Yu Yijian is already in his first year of junior high school, and he has begun to rebel, and there are some things that he is unwilling to tell me. It might be a good thing that he can make a friend like an older brother. ”

"I hope so. ”

Sui Qingliu looked at Wan Guohou gratefully, "Master Hou, you are so careful and kind to our family, I just don't know how to repay you." ”

"It's all trivial, it's insignificant. Wan Guohou waved his hand, "You are too outward." ”

Sui Qingliu said seriously: "Believe it or not, I have been unhappy most of the time in the past ten years. ”

Wan Guohou nodded in understanding.

"After meeting you, something happened...... Forgive me for not being able to say what. In short, there are some good things happening, and I believe that it is the good fortune you have brought to me and my family. Sui Qingliu said solemnly.

"That's a real pleasure for me. Wan Guohou's pale face showed an indescribable mysterious smile.
