Forty-fourth
With a "hiss", the small flame of the match jumped in the palm of his hand, and he lit the cigarette, but did not smoke it, as if all he needed was the company of this faint flush. cOM Welcome to Reading //
"I don't have to do anything, tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, I'll wait for you to pick me up, so it's decided. ”
She said so, at the other man, smiling slightly, and did not look at him.
Ji Huan closed his eyes, although he understood that he pushed her away with his own hands, although he understood that he had already lost that qualification, but what was the reason for the self-suppressed pain in his heart?
And why she just didn't understand that he didn't want her to contact Bo Yuzheng, it was not simply jealousy, although he didn't dare to say that he didn't have any selfishness, but that was the first and biggest consideration, but it was completely from her safety".
Who is Bo Yuzheng, who can't find an English and French translator for the talented people around him?
Even if he can't find a suitable person for a while, he clearly refuses when he has made it clear that he is competent, which only shows that he cannot trust himself, and what he wants to translate must not be presented in broad daylight.
So, what will Yisheng do with Yisheng, who knows his secrets?
His power is monstrous, and he wants to disappear alone, but it is as simple as pinching an ant to death, fortunately, since he entered the door, he has been watching in the dark, and when facing Yisheng, Bo Yuzheng has no malicious intent, which undoubtedly makes him feel a little at ease, but it is impossible to completely let go.
The slight burning pain between his fingers brought him back to his senses, he casually extinguished the cigarette, raised his eyes to see the sky gradually brightening in the east, opened the car door, got out of the car, and walked towards his door.
"Young master, why did you come back?" The porter hurriedly greeted him, seeing that his young master had a heavy tiredness in his eyes, but he walked towards the study again, and asked again, "Do you want to order the kitchen to prepare something for you?"
Ji Huan shook his head, "No." ”
I went straight up to the study and closed the door.
Unexpectedly, this silence did not last long, and a gentle knock on the door sounded outside the study again.
"No, go down. ”
"It's me. ”
He thought it was a messenger who brought food, but he didn't expect that it was his father who knocked on the door, and even though he felt tired again, he could only get up and open the door.
Ji Baiqiao stood outside the door with a Yixing Bogu purple mud teacup in his hand, Ji Huan recognized that this was the one he was used to in his father's bedroom, lowered his eyes slightly, turned sideways, and let his father in the door.
"Coming back from the Sheng family?" asked Ji Baiqiao.
"Yes. ”
"Is Yisheng back?"
"Yes. ”
"Nothing happened to her, did she?"
"It's fine. ”
Ji Huan's every answer was very simple, obviously he didn't want to say more, knowing his son was his father, how could Ji Baiqiao not notice it?
He sighed and turned to look at his son, "What about you, are you okay?"
Ji Huan suddenly raised his eyes, saw the trace of concern and understanding in his father's eyes, and did not speak.
Ji Baiqiao slowly spoke: "Dad is also from the past, and he once liked a girl desperately, your eyes are completely different when you face Yizheng and Yisheng, others may not be able to see it, because you hide it too well, but you are my only son, how can you hide it from them?"
"So what?" Ji Huan smiled, his already undecided mind was lifted again, and the smile did not hide the mockery, "If you like it now, you will meet someone you like more in the future, but it is better to have a marriage with interests that lasts longer." ”
Ji Baiqiao didn't expect his son to say this, his heart ached, his mind fainted, and his feet were vague, but a pair of powerful arms supported him in time.
He watched his son quickly let go of his hand after he stood still, and smiled bitterly, "You're blaming me for treating your mother like this, aren't you?"
Ji Huan still smiled coldly, "My mother, she is now sleeping on the newly arrived Western bed of Jardine Matheson, she is in the Ji family, she has a husband and a son, the world has to respect her Mrs. Ji, what are you sorry for her?"
"Mu Huan!" Ji Baiqiao was in pain and called out his words.
Originally, the crown is the word, and the name is respected. Ji Baiqiao faced his son, no matter what, he didn't need to call the word "Mu Huan".
But these two words were taken by him personally, and they were the first thing he gave his son over the years, plus he himself thought about the new school, and he was not very rigid about the ancient rites, so he called Mu Huan a lot, but rarely called Ji Huan by his name.
Even under his influence, some acquaintances, such as the Sheng family and his wife, aroused Mu Huan with him.
At this moment, he couldn't help but call out these two words again, paused for a moment, and his tone was desolate, "Mu Huan, I just hope you can be happy." ”
"I have already sent a dragon and phoenix post to the Sheng family early this morning, does my father mean to destroy this marriage contract?" Ji Huan asked lightly.
Ji Baiqiao was choked by his words, and only sighed for a while before he spoke, "Xiaosheng came over that day, I hoped you could make it clear, but it still couldn't change your decision...... No matter what, as you said, the so-called love is just a passing moment, and men's choices when they are young are often different compared with those after they grow up. When you get older, you will slowly realize that a woman's temperament is more important than anything else, at least in this regard, I believe that Yizheng will take care of you. ”
He put the purple mud teacup in his hand on Ji Huan's desk, "You can drink this cup of ginseng tea, it's still warm." ”
Ji Huan raised his eyes and saw his father's heartfelt silver thread and the voice that was about to leave, he closed his eyes and spoke, "Dad, I'm sorry, I went too far tonight." ”
"Silly words, I was sorry for you and your mother. ”
"Dad......"
Ji Baiqiao coughed and interrupted his son, "Don't say it, don't say it, you are my only son, I have always been proud of you, you manage the bank, set up a bank, and I am proud of my knowledge and means, and I have to serve my old age." ”
Ji Huan looked down at the purple mud cup on the desk and did not speak.
Ji Baiqiao paused and sighed slightly, "Over the years, I have really felt powerless, not only can my ideology not keep up with the pace of the times, but even this body is also strong from the outside, don't look at it from the outside, it's quite tough, in fact, I know it myself, it's just to survive." ”
He saw that his son's eyes were painful, and hurriedly stopped him: "Don't talk today, listen to what Dad says, I won't say these words after tonight." ”
Ji Huan has never understood what kind of existence he is to his father since he was very young, even if he returns to the Ji family compound, even now, he does not understand his father's true feelings for him, he is very strict with him, there are few warm and intimate actions, he does everything to supervise his growth, but except for business, he has never said any heart-to-heart words to him.
However, on this very night, he suddenly realized that his father was actually the loneliest man in the world, that he was not good at expressing his feelings, that his wife did not understand him, and that his son could not understand him.
This is perhaps the sorrow shared by most fathers.
That night, Ji Baiqiao said a lot to his son, about his mother, about his guilt, about his pride and his expectations.
By the time he left the study, it was already dark.
Ji Huan looked at his father's back, and the last words he said seemed to be ringing in his ears...... I clearly feel that my body is dying little by little, which is a terrible thing, but fortunately, I still have you. Mu Huan, promise your father to let the Ji family's industry flourish in your hands, I believe that you will be able to do it...... You will never let me down, you are the greatest pride of my father's life!" he slowly lifted the purple mud teacup on the desk, and drank the ginseng tea that had become cold.
The first thing Bai Ye saw when he entered the study was this scene, his face changed slightly, he quickly ran over and snatched the cup in his hand, and when he saw that it was empty, he was so angry that he was about to slap him when he raised his hand, but he suddenly realized that he couldn't leave a mark on his face, and instead raised his foot heavily and kicked him in the lower abdomen.
Ji Huan didn't pay attention to the pain in his lower abdomen, he just slowly straightened up, smiled coldly, "It's just a cup of ginseng tea, as for being so nervous?"
Bai Ye put down the teacup heavily, raised his hand and gestured, "Don't forget what you promised your mother!"
"Of course I haven't forgotten, I don't need you to remind me. Suppressing the sudden burst of cold anger from him, Ji Huan calmed down his emotions before speaking again, "At ten o'clock, follow Sheng Yisheng at the door of Sheng's house, no matter where she goes, ensure her safety." ”
Bai Ye looked at him incredulously, "You actually asked me to protect Sheng Yisheng?"
He looked at him coldly, "The person who met her was Bo Yuzheng." ”
Bai Ye looked suspicious, stared at Ji Huan for a long time, convinced that he was not telling the truth, and finally turned around and walked outside the study without saying a word.
When he was about to go out, he heard Ji Huan's voice coming from behind him again, with a tough attitude that could not be turned around in the cold, "Remember, ensure her safety, I don't listen to any excuses and explanations." ”
