Chapter 81: Disappeared from this world all at once
The quiet atmosphere of the study separated the noise downstairs, Xiao Huaqing's eyebrows spread kindly, his short gray hair was tied in his sideburns, and although he was old, his tone was still sonorous and powerful.
Qin Shaoheng sat on the dark brown leather sofa, his posture was lazy, the cigar on his fingertips burned along the trajectory, the velvety smoke was swirling, covering his face with unknown emotions, his tone was cold, as if he was out of the matter, "Uncle Xiao, if it is really within the measure, this face will naturally be sold, but outside the measure..."
He didn't say any more, but the meaning was clear. If the limit is exceeded, no matter how much of the relationship between them, the relationship of interests, and the punishment they should have, there will be no less.
Mingli gave Xiao Huaqing face as an elder, but in fact it was another kind of secret warning, he couldn't pull his face a little, and he was not a soft persimmon that could be manipulated by others, so he hooked a smile to ease the atmosphere, "Huiru, this child has been dead-eyed since he was a child, you almost got married back then, if it wasn't for that plane crash, maybe I would have hugged my great-grandson now." β
In these words, the relationship with Qin Shaoheng was also reminded, and Qin Shaoheng was reminded that he could always do something about his old feelings.
The atmosphere fell into a silent opposition, and the invisible smoke of gunpowder filled the air.
But the silence didn't last long, Qin Shaoheng stood up, his eyebrows twisted, the cigar between his knuckles was on the porcelain white ashtray, and his expression was a little cold, "Uncle Xiao, that kid back then..."
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Huaqing immediately stood up, his tone trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of anticipation, "The child has been found?"
"Are you sure it was a boy?"
Xiao Huaqing twisted his eyebrows, searched for a memory in his mind, and nodded affirmatively, "It's a boy, you can't be wrong." What's the matter?"
When Xiao Huaqing was on a business trip, he met a waiter at a resort, and the two of them looked at each other, and naturally had a dewy relationship. But he can't take this waiter away, he already relied on his wife to start a family, if he really brought it back, he wouldn't have to make a fuss.
Fortunately, the woman was kind-hearted and didn't want to embarrass him, so she didn't stalk him, so she let him go back to the city. He left her a number, and the two of them parted.
At that time, it was agreed that when he returned to the city and took care of things, he would come back to her.
That number, after a few months, she called him and told him that she was pregnant, and he was naturally happy. He asked her to raise the fetus with peace of mind, and when he arrived, he really had the strength, divorced his wife, and went back to marry that woman.
When she was pregnant, he secretly ran back to see her once, and only this time, he was afraid that he would miss too many times. His wife was very shrewd, and he didn't want the East Window incident to happen.
He regularly sent her a sum of money to take care of her life, and the amount of money was quite a lot, after all, she was pregnant with his flesh and blood. At that time, his two granddaughters were still young, and there was not even a belt at home, his concept was not old, but if this huge family property really had a personal inheritance, it was not a bad thing, when she sent a message to inform him that she was really pregnant with a male fetus, he was really relieved, and he treated her well, although he could not always be by her side, but the money remitted was higher than once, and she was entrusted to take care of the fetus, when everything was with him, he allowed her, and when the time came, the child was born, and he would go back to accompany her and watch the child be born togetherγ
But when the child was about to be born, his only son and daughter-in-law both died in a car accident, he was immersed in the grief of losing his son in old age, and he couldn't slow down for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, the male fetus in the woman's belly became his only hope. When I went back to look for the woman under the pretext of a business trip, I found that she was no longer in the resort, not to mention, the resort, and the entire county and city were gone.
He panicked all of a sudden, and made countless phone calls but no one answered.
I had no choice but to go back first, and asked people to inquire everywhere, but I couldn't find them, as if they had disappeared into this world all of a sudden.
Over the years, he has never given up looking for the mother and son of the year, but when he finally found their traces, he found that the woman was dead, and the child did not know where he went.
He wanted to find it, but his big move, finally alarmed the shrewd wife, she found out the existence of the child, and made a big fuss with him, these years, although he sat in the position of the master of the Xiao family, but all relied on the power of his wife's family, once his wife fell out with him, his efforts over the years, may be wasted at any time, he was originally a child born in a poor family, once he enjoyed the life of brocade clothes and food, how can he go back. had no choice but to give up looking for his wife to appease him, but how could he be willing in his heart.
After thinking about it, he wanted to find a trustworthy and capable Qin Shaoheng to help him. Anyway, on the surface, the relationship between his Xiao family and the Qin family has always been good.
Of course, if Qin Shaoheng really wants to help him willingly and quietly, he has to hold some chips in his hands.
At that time, the Qin family's stocks were in turmoil, and someone bought a large number of Qin's stocks in a shell, this person was very secretive, but the Qin family was a big family, Qin Shaoheng sat in the position of the Qin family's head, and the old uncle naturally would not be willing to be convinced, on the surface, he praised Qin Shaoheng for being young and promising, but there were a lot of small actions behind his back.
There are some things, Qin Shaoheng is in that position, so naturally he can't let go of his hand to do it, so when Xiao Huaqing came to him, he agreed to the deal.
A fair deal.
Qin Shaoheng found his son for Xiao Huaqing, and Xiao Huaqing found people who tried to move his position for Qin Shaoheng, and each took what he needed.
At that time, the woman was in a hurry, and she didn't explain anything, the only token, that is, a white jade necklace given to her by Xiao Huaqing back then, although the necklace was not valuable, but it was also handed down by the Xiao family. So it is impossible for someone to impersonate.
The necklace became the only token that could prove the identity of the child.
At this time, Qin Shaoheng's words rekindled his hope, and his distracted eyes lit up again, "That kid, is there any news?" he asked tentatively again.
Qin Shaoheng frowned, was silent for a moment, and then shook his head, knocking on the ashtray and shaking the ashes.
The light in Xiao Huaqing's eyes dimmed again, and his expression was a little depressed, showing his old state.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, Xiao Huiru pushed open the door and walked in, with a pink face and peach cheeks, with the delicate beauty of a girl, her eyes looked forward to it, her eyes fell on Qin Shaoheng's body with a mist in her eyes, and her voice was soft, "Shaoheng." You're here?"
Qin Shaoheng turned sideways and nodded slightly.
Xiao Huaqing put away his lost look, walked to his granddaughter's side, and rubbed the broken hair on Xiao Huiru's forehead, "It's all a big woman, you, take care of Shao Heng, and don't care about me, a bad old man." β
Xiao Huiru heard this, her cheeks turned red again, she raised her hand to comb the broken hair that was rubbed, and let out a strange sigh, "Grandpa...."
Xiao Huaqing knew that he was naturally hindering his precious granddaughter and his beloved from catching up, so he planned to leave the stage consciously, "You guys talk first, I'll go down and greet the guests." β
The room was soon left, Xiao Huiru and Qin Shaoheng.
Xiao Huiru obediently approached a little closer and opened her mouth, "Shao Heng, I haven't seen you for some days." I..."
Before she could say the next words, she didn't think that Qin Shaoheng's cold voice sounded, "I'll go back first." β
Xiao Huiru was stunned in place, her enthusiasm was like a flame extinguished by cold water, echoing her loss, her red lips trembled, and her ruddy face suddenly lost the pale color of blood, "Shao Heng, it's hard to come here, can you stay for a while?"
She obviously prayed so much, but in his eyes, it was not worth mentioning, "It's not early, you should rest early." β
The tone of concern is obvious, but it is a burst of alienation. After saying that, he took a step and walked out of the study.
She was not given any more chance to keep her. She froze in place, not knowing how to react for a moment.
Why? Everything turned out like this, where did Qin Shaoheng, who treated her differently from other women, go?
The aggrieved water was in her eyes, her nose was sore, tears fell involuntarily, and her sobbing sound sounded in the empty study.
Xiao Huaqing was still greeting the guests in the living room, and when he saw Qin Shaoheng's back leaving, he frowned, greeted the person who was talking, and hurriedly walked upstairs to the study.
In the sight, sure enough, Xiao Huiru was squatting, sobbing gloomily.
Xiao Huaqing walked in, she raised her head, stood up, and got into his arms.
Xiao Huaqing saw that his baby granddaughter was so sad for a man, so she was naturally a little distressed, hugged Xiao Huiru, patted her on the back gently, and comforted her, "Ruru, there are many men in the world, why do you bother for a Qin Shaoheng..."
"You don't understand...."Xiao Huiru's emotions were suddenly excited, and she pushed Xiao Huaqing away, "There are so many men in the world, I don't care, I just want Qin Shaoheng." β
Xiao Huaqing has doted on this granddaughter since she was a child, she looks weak and well-behaved, and she looks a little more like his son, but this temperament, when it comes to Qin Shaoheng, is unpleasantly stubborn.
Xiao Huaqing had no choice but to comfortably take Xiao Huiru back to the room, coax her to sleep, cover the quilt and walk out.
In the study, only Xiao Huaqing was left.
He lit a cigarette, his thoughts sparsely sparse as the smoke rose.
He watched Qin Shaoheng grow up since he was a child, he and Qin Feng had a good relationship back then, and they could be regarded as brothers who lived and died together, the foundation of the Qin family has always been stronger than that of the Xiao family, so although he and Qin Feng were good friends back then, there was always a gap, he boasted that he had put in a hundred times the effort than Qin Feng, but he had never been able to catch up with Qin Feng, and he still had some ideas in his heart.
At that time, they were trained together in the army, and the army paid attention to love and righteousness, and the two of them suffered together when they went on a mission, it is not an exaggeration to say that Qin Feng saved his life. After retiring from the army, Qin Feng naturally went back to inherit the family business, he had no family business to inherit, and he didn't want to receive too much favor from Qin Feng, so he worked hard in society for many years and suffered a lot.
But he was faintly unwilling in his heart, he had suffered so much, and the achievements he had achieved were far less than the title given to Qin Feng by the Qin family, and this sense of imbalance was even stronger after Qin Feng married the woman he loved.
Later, Xiao Huaqing, who later met his current wife, was supported by his father-in-law's family, so that his children can have a decent life today.
He has always been unwilling, he is unwilling, Qin Feng robbed his beloved.
The glass reflected his lonely appearance, the fog was rising, but his eyes were sharper and clearer.
