Chapter 151: No Choice
They found a Western restaurant to eat when they got out of the hospital, and since they came out of the hospital, Zhou Yanqing hasn't spoken much, and Cheng Xunchun has also noticed his strangeness in the past few days, and there is always a feeling of indescribability.
If you want to say that he is not in a good mood, you can't say what is bad. But there must be something hidden in my heart.
Cheng Xunxun secretly glanced at him twice and said, "In two days, we will go to Tang's house to live together for a few days." Maybe you can find some childhood memories there. ”
Zhou Yanqing nodded, said yes, and didn't ask too many trivial questions.
Cheng Xunxuan cut the steak on the plate into pieces, and when she divided the whole steak, Zhou Yanqing ate two bites slowly, and didn't notice her indecent behavior at all.
If she is not mistaken, what Zhou Yanqing can't see the most is her behavior of breaking down the steak first before eating. Cheng Xunchun did it once before, and he asked the waiter to serve a few steaks, and specially asked her to cut them, and she was not allowed to eat them after cutting.
She had a profound impact on it. As a result, she was no longer willing to go to a Western restaurant with Zhou Yanqing to eat.
However, he didn't react at all now, was he conniving?
But it's no wonder that he doesn't have this mind, so many things have happened one after another recently, and no one else has this mind.
"Because of the third brother's matter, you're in a bad mood?"
When Zhou Yanqing heard this, she suddenly seemed to realize something, raised her eyes and glanced at her, smiled slightly, and said: "Although the relationship is not close, after all, it is my own brother, and you and I know what the final result of AIDS is." It can't be cured. ”
His expression was gloomy, and Cheng Xunxun suddenly regretted mentioning this stubble. It's really a pot that can't be opened, just like he said, no matter how bad the relationship between their brothers is. No matter how hard they fight in secret, but in the end they are brothers, they are really on the verge of life and death, and any hatred and hatred should be gone.
With the same blood flowing on his body, he doesn't really want the other party to die.
Cheng Xunxun bit his fork and tried hard to organize words to comfort him, but after thinking about it, it seemed that everything seemed pale.
If you really want to blame, I can only say that Zhou Yankun is self-inflicted, eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling and drugs, accounting for everything, don't think about the word health.
Zhou Yanqing could see her thoughts, smiled, and said: "I don't need your comfort, it's not a big deal, you don't have to bother with the affairs of the Zhou family, you can't take care of your own affairs, just hear about other things, don't bother." ”
He thought for a moment and said, "In the future, when the two of us are together, we will not mention these troubles." ”
"Okay. These words are said to be in Cheng Xun's heart.
As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhou Yanqing frowning, and her eyes fell on her plate.
Cheng Xunxun immediately stretched out his hand to block it, grinned, and said, "It's not what you think." ”
"I don't have a long memory. ”
……
Tang Yisen honestly moved out of the Tang family, which made Cheng Xunxun a little surprised, she didn't expect Tang Yisen to be so easy to talk to, and he was obviously not such a person.
The old maid of the Tang family took Cheng Xunxun to see the room where Tang Shijin lived before his death, and the study where he worked. After Tang Shi went in and out of the accident, the maid only came in to clean up, and nothing else was touched.
Cheng Xunxuan opened the servant and sat at the desk, and she didn't come back to her senses until Zhou Yanqing stood at the door and knocked on the door.
"Are you back, have you eaten?"
"Not yet, just came from the company. ”
Cheng Xunxun got up and went over, grabbed his hand, and asked with a smile: "I'm afraid you are more familiar than me here, right?"
"I've been here a few times, and I have the impression that Donald prefers Chinese style and doesn't like luxury very much. ”
The two of them went downstairs as they spoke, just in time for dinner.
After the meal, the servants walked away with interest, and the huge house was just the two of them, and it seemed very empty, and the echo could be heard when the TV was turned on.
Zhou Yanqing answered the phone and hurriedly went out, saying that there was something, but he didn't say what it was.
Cheng Xunxun watched his car disappear into the night, then closed the door, and after watching TV in the living room for a while, he went upstairs.
She originally wanted to see some things left by her grandfather, but she just wanted to know more about Tang Shijin, even though he was no longer there.
As a result, behind a pair of calligraphy and paintings, she found a secret compartment, inside which was a small safe, which could be unlocked with a fingerprint or a password.
This safe, my grandfather never mentioned it, if it wasn't for Cheng Xunxun accidentally knocking this painting down, it would really not be easy to find. I don't know if Tang Shijin forgot to say it, or for some other reason, or if he was too late.
Cheng Xunxun tried all the passwords she could think of, but there was no way to open this safe, but Cheng Xunxun's curiosity was not heavy, and after trying a few times, he hung the painting back, thinking that he would find someone to open the lock that day to try it.
After Cheng Xunxun hung the painting, he looked at it carefully, and saw a date in the corner, without indicating the year, only the date. Cheng Xunxun looked a little distracted, suddenly his mind was crooked, he took the painting off the wall again, put it on the table, and entered the password according to the date marked on the painting, 0215
She didn't have much hope, just a try, however, she never expected that when she entered the password, she could only hear the door of the safe open.
Cheng Xunxun was shocked, she just followed the guidelines in the escape room game, and tried all the numbers when she saw them, but she didn't expect her grandfather to put the password in such an obvious position.
She took out the contents of the same thing, nothing special, all small things, but they all looked like they had a date.
It's a bit like an antique, and it's worth a lot of money.
If there is anything special, the most special thing in this is probably a photo.
The photos are a little yellowed, still black and white, and they look like they are decades old.
Cheng Xunxun looked carefully at the people in the photo, and after looking at it for a long time, there were three men in the photo, and standing in the middle was her grandfather Tang Shijin.
On his left hand side is Zhou Jingyang, and the man on his right hand side Cheng Xunxun doesn't know him, but it can be seen that the relationship between these three people is very good.
In the photo, they are still in the prime of life, the most energetic age, Tang Shijin is the happiest with a warm smile, and Zhou Jingyang and another man are more subtle, obviously the kind of people who are moody.
But this strange man's face is obviously gentler than Zhou Jingyang.
There is no more information on the photo other than the time.
Unexpectedly, the relationship between Zhou Jingyang and Tang Shijin was so good, Cheng Xunxun always thought that they were harmonious on the surface and competitive behind the scenes.
In Cheng Xunxun's opinion, there is no need to use a safe for these things. I don't know what these things mean to Tang Shijin.
Cheng Xunxun studied it carefully, then put the thing back, and only took away a strangely shaped jade pendant.
I plan to wait for Zhou Yanqing to come back and let him see what this is.
……
As soon as Zhou Yanqing's car arrived at the gate of the community, Xu's mother rushed over and pounced on the front of the car, and the driver was startled and slammed on the brakes.
Zhou Yanqing threw himself forward, and because he was not wearing a seat belt, he crashed into the car seat.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, quickly supported it with his hand, and scolded.
"I'm sorry, Fifth Master. ”
"Get out of the car and see how the people are doing. ”
Mother Xu fell to the ground by the impact, but quickly stood up and threw herself on the side of the car door.
Zhou Yanqing got out of the car, clasped her shoulder, and said, "Calm down." ”
"Sir, sir......"
Mother Xu was very panicked, and she couldn't even say a complete sentence clearly, but from her fragmented words, Zhou Yanqing understood the cause and effect.
In fact, there is no antecedent, the result is that Xiaonuo was taken away and forcibly taken away.
"I'm sorry, sir, I'm sorry, it's me who is not good, it's me who is greedy for life and afraid of death......"
Mother Xu was afraid that the whole person was soft on Zhou Yanqing's body, and her body kept sliding down, if it wasn't for Zhou Yanqing firmly holding her arm, this person would have knelt on the ground.
Zhou Yanqing frowned and persuaded a few words, but at this moment, Mother Xu couldn't listen to it at all, and kept saying sorry, explaining while talking.
Zhou Yanqing waved at the driver, and directly handed over Mama Xu to the driver, saying: "Mama Xu, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to blame yourself, you don't have to cry in front of me, I won't blame you." ”
He slightly accentuated his tone, "You want to die or live like this, and it is not good to let others see it." ”
His scolding succeeded in making Mother Xu stop crying, reluctantly stood up straight, sniffed hard, raised his hand to wipe away his tears, choked up and said, "Sir......"
"Needless to say, you just need to briefly describe what the person looks like, and that's fine. Get on the bus first. ”
After speaking, Zhou Yanqing opened the car door and got into the car.
Mother Xu stabilized her mood, wiped her tears with her sleeve, took a deep breath, and got into the car.
The door slammed shut, and the driver stood outside, just the two of them. Mother Xu was sitting precariously, bowing her head deeply, and said, "There are two men here, dressed in straight suits, one of them looks about the same age as you, sir, they said they knew you, and I opened the door without thinking too much." ”
"According to what you said, there are your people secretly protecting you here, and there are bodyguards next door that you specialize in, so ...... I really never expected this. ”
"What else did they say?" asked Zhou Yanqing.
Mother Xu pondered for a moment, suddenly seemed to think of something, straightened her back, and said, "Yes, tell me when they leave, they are waiting for your call." Say you must know who they are, you know each other well. ”
Zhou Yanqing was silent and did not speak, Xu Ma glanced at him cautiously, the light in the car was very dim, and he couldn't completely see the expression on his face.
After a while, I really couldn't stand the dull atmosphere, so I cautiously called, "Mr. Zhou?"
"Go back, you must not tell Xun Xun about this matter, you don't have to worry, Xiao Nuo will be fine, I know this person, and he will definitely not hurt Xiao Nuo." "It's all about it.
"Really?"
Zhou Yanqing nodded, "Yes, you can go back." ”
"Okay, I won't tell Shun Shun. It's just that she calls every day now, and always wants to listen to the child's voice, I ......"
Zhou Yanqing glanced at her sideways, and Mother Xu immediately closed her mouth and got out of the car without saying anything more.
Without Zhou Yanqing's orders, the driver was still standing outside and guarding. He sat upright in the car for a while before he took out his phone, looked through his address book, and dialed a string of numbers.
The phone rang twice and it was connected, and it was clear that the person on the other end of the line was waiting for him to make the call.
"Where. ”
"Old place. ”
Zhou Yanqing hung up the phone, lowered the window, beckoned the driver to get into the car, and reported the address.
The second time I came to this teahouse, it was still deserted, and it seemed that there were no guests all along. Now it seems that this may be one of their meeting points, and the boss behind this teahouse is them.
Zhou Yanqing got out of the car, stood at the door of the teahouse for a moment, and then walked straight in.
When he walked to the second floor, Zhou Yanqing heard the baby's cry, but it was obvious that someone had been coaxing.
He followed the sound and stood at the door of a private room, without knocking on the door, he directly pushed the door open, there were several people sitting in the private room, and Xiaonuo was held in the arms of a middle-aged woman. Hearing the movement, almost everyone in the private room turned their heads to look at him in unison, and a gentle smile appeared on everyone's face.
The man sitting in the chair saw him, slowly stood up, and said, "Come in." ”
Zhou Yanqing's legs seemed to be filled with lead, and it was difficult to take a step forward. The man looked a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
He squinted, and a voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "It looks like about sixty ......." The person in front of him slowly overlapped with the phantom in his mind, and he couldn't help but look at the old man intently.
Xiao Nuo probably had some impression of Zhou Yanqing, and when he turned his head to see him crying, he cried even more fiercely, and his small body kept throwing himself in his direction.
The middle-aged woman looked at Xiao Nuo's appearance, then walked over with a smile, stood in front of him, and said, "Little child, he is quite smart, and he already knows how to recognize people." ”
Xiao Nuo kept throwing himself at Zhou Yanqing, and after he lost his mind for a short time, he reached out and hugged the person, and with a little coaxing, Xiao Nuo hugged his neck, and after crying for a while, he was probably tired, and slowly stopped crying.
"Don't stand at the door, come in. ”
Everyone looked at him with smiling eyes, as if to say to him: Welcome back.
After a while, he walked in with Xiaonuo in his arms and sat down in front of the old man, with a not good expression on his face.
"What do you want to do? Why did you take Arnold without permission?" he said.
The old man sitting opposite him, with a slight smile on his face, poured him a cup of tea, and said, "I am looking for your son to better protect your son, Zhou Jingyang has been looking for him in private, don't you know?"
Zhou Yanqing looked at him for a few seconds, glanced away, and said, "I can protect myself." ”
"You yourself are in danger, why should you protect him?" He raised his lips slightly, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Zhou Jingyang to be so cunning and cunning, do you know why he kept you?"
Zhou Yanqing pursed her lips, her lips slightly pale.
"He's just trying to lure me out and kill me all," he said. After doing such a big thing, I don't think he can sleep well for decades. Oh, no. How could a person like him not sleep well, he should have found that there were still fish that slipped through the net, so he couldn't sleep well. ”
"Hey, in such a comparison, Tang Shijin still has a little bit of humanity. ”
When Zhou Yanqing heard this, his eyes moved slightly, raised his eyes, and looked at him deeply.
"But he's not a good thing. ”
"I'm not going to be involved in your plans. ”
As the words fell, the private room fell into a deathly silence, and the smile on his lips faded.
Zhou Yanqing stood up and said, "I can leave here, without participating or interfering." You didn't ask me if I wanted to be this pawn, and I'm telling you now, I don't. ”
After he finished speaking, he walked to the door of the private room.
"Hey, do you think you can? Even if I let you go and don't let you participate, do you think Zhou Jingyang will let you go?"
Zhou Yanqing paused slightly, and when he opened the door of the private room, two people stood outside blocking his way.
"Get out of the way. ”
"You don't have a choice, from the moment you are born, there is no choice. ”
……
That night, Zhou Yanqing did not go back to Tang's house, Cheng Xunchun slept alone, so he had insomnia, couldn't sleep over and over, and went to work with panda eyes when he got up the next day.
When Zhou Yanan called her, she was standing in front of Tang Yawen's grave with Yu Xuejun.
Her family's mistress seems to be a little fierce, she really can't stand Rong Ping being bullied by her, so she secretly came out of the mistress in private, and wanted to find Cheng Xunxun to go with her, so that she could take care of it, if she was excited to tear up, there could be someone around her to pull her, so as not to kill her.
Cheng Xunxun hung up the phone, put the phone in his bag, glanced at Yu Xuejun sideways, a little impatient, the two of them have been standing here for more than 20 minutes, and Yu Xuejun has not spoken.
"Mr. Yu, time is precious, and I don't want to waste it in a daze. ”
Yu Xuejun let out a sigh, turned his head to look at her, and said, "Didn't you ask me what my relationship with your mother was last time?"
Cheng Xunxun only looked at him and didn't speak.
"Actually, your mother and I are not even friends, we are probably in love. met in the ancient city of Dali, also ended there, and when I met her, she was in a particularly bad mood and got drunk in a bar. When she left, she staggered and bumped into me, threw up on me, and finally grabbed me and refused to let go. As a result, I sent her back to the hotel, and she tossed all the way, and when she got to the hotel, she sobered up a little, called me a stinky hooligan like crazy, and beat me up with high heels. ”
"We stayed in the same hotel. I didn't expect to meet in the elevator the next day, it was a narrow encounter, but your mother forgot about me. The funniest thing is that after looking at me twice, they actually came up to talk to me. ”
Yu Xuejun showed a shallow smile on his face, and the smile looked a little sweet, "This is probably an affair, your mother is also honest, she said that she went to Dali to have an affair." She didn't tell me about her and Tang Yisen, but I could feel that Tang Yisen made her very angry and sad. ”
But she still likes Tang Yisen in her heart. This is probably the stupid revenge of a stupid woman, I don't care, I was young at that time, of course, I was also attracted to her, so everything happened naturally, and we were together for seven days. ”
"On the morning of the eighth day, she was gone, and she disappeared without a trace, and even her own smell was taken away, and there was nothing left for me, and I didn't even know her name at that time, but she asked me to call her Yanyan. I asked her what she meant, and she said that we were an erotic encounter, so she was called Yanyan and I was called Xiaoyu. ”
From the expression on Yu Xuejun's face, it can be clearly felt that he has a very deep memory of that charming relationship, deep to every detail and every sentence.
Perhaps, what you can't get is the best.
"It's like a dream, and if it weren't for the photo on my phone, I would have thought it was just a dream I had. Later, it took me another three days to prove that it was all true, and I went through the sights and places we had visited together again, and the marks we had left behind. Everything tells me that this is not a dream, it is real. ”
He hooked the corners of his lips, was silent for a moment, his smile faded, lowered his eyes, and said: "At that time, I was very attracted to her, but your mother left too quickly and left nothing, and by the time I worked hard to find her, she was already married to Tang Yisen." ”
"I didn't know until today that you were my daughter, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it. When she saw me, she was frightened except for fright. She ...... to me," he paused for a moment, "maybe only seven days of affection." ”
"If it was only seven days, why would she have been born and treated me like a jewel. ”
Yu Xuejun pursed his lips, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, and he finally swallowed the words behind.
Tang Yawen gave birth to her, at first it was not because of feelings, she was nervous, and she took the birth control pill, so she didn't expect that she would get pregnant at all. One day, she was tired and bleeding and went to the hospital, only to find out that she was pregnant.
Tang Yisen also knew that their relationship was very good at that time, Tang Yisen was quite happy, and Tang Yawen naturally didn't dare to say it. Later, I couldn't bear it.
These are all what Tang Shijin told Yu Xuejun, people should be more calm when they hear this kind of thing in middle age, but Yu Xuejun is a little sad, and when he recalls the memory of those seven days, there seems to be a thorn in his heart.
He regretted it a little, regretting that he didn't ask Tang Yawen how he felt about him at the beginning, and he didn't ask once. In this life, he can't know.
Yu Xuejun looked at Cheng Xunxun and said, "Will you hate us?"
Cheng Xunxun didn't know how to answer, in fact, all of this was not very important anymore, even if she hated it, time would not go back, even if time went back, they would still meet, or come to such an unforgettable encounter.
She thought, Tang Yawen still has feelings for Yu Xuejun, otherwise why did she give birth to her?
"I don't know. ”
"Ten-ten, promise me to get out of here and go to England. ”
Cheng Xunxun pursed his lips, then shook his head, and said: "Forget it, in fact, if you don't want to recognize me, I will think of a vicious attention, and I will come to your current wife and say that I am your illegitimate daughter, let you fly and jump, and make you irresponsible." Now that you've told me, I don't seem to have any reason to take revenge on you. ”
"On the one hand, you didn't let down my mother, you are a dewy relationship. And I, presumably, is the result of your youthful madness. If you really want to say that you are disappointed, or my mother has failed you. On the other hand, now that you have taken the initiative to admit it, I have no reason to retaliate against you. ”
"So, I'm not going to England, and I'm not going to disturb your life. Let's go, don't get involved in the affairs of the Tang family and me. None of this has anything to do with you. In the future, if you think of my daughter, you can come and see me in private, and I will never go to you. ”
Yu Xuejun frowned slightly, "Ten ten......"
She raised her hand to stop him, "Don't persuade me, my mother and grandfather were both killed by Tang Yisen, and I can't just let him go." I don't have anything now, I'm not afraid at all. Don't worry, I won't blame you for not helping me, after all, you have a family, and according to Tang Yisen's urine nature, he will definitely use this to coerce you. ”
"I didn't mean to ruin your family, so ......," she shrugged, "and leave me alone." ”
"Don't do anything against the law, don't ruin yourself because of him. If you do this, only Tang Yisen will be happy. ”
Cheng Xunxun nodded, "I understand." ”
After being silent for a while, Cheng Xunxun asked, "Did grandpa tell you anything else?"
He shook his head and said, "He asked me to take good care of you and keep you safe, and he wants you to leave Luancheng." He said this many times, and I felt as if he was hiding something, but he wouldn't say it. ”
"Really?" Cheng Xunxun frowned, thinking about it for a long time, naturally he couldn't think of the problem clearly.
……
Yu Xuejun originally wanted to have dinner with her, but Cheng Xunjun had already made an appointment, and she drove downstairs to pick up people at Zhou Yanan's house before dark.
After not seeing him for a few days, Zhou Yanan's whole person looked a little haggard, with deep dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept for a few days, but his eyes were shining with essence and a string was tightened.
As soon as I got in the car, I said, "I heard that woman is pregnant." ”
"Does your dad want a divorce?"
Of course not, divorce, but he wants to have two homes, inside and out. That woman is very powerful, my dad is very obsessed with her, and my dad listens to everything she says. I really can't figure it out, that woman is not a young girl, what is so good!" Zhou Yanan was a little excited, his eyes were red, his eyes were red.
"Don't get excited, this matter will definitely be solved, I think your father would definitely not divorce your mother if he had a clear mind. His divorce from your mother is more than worth the loss, I think he still understands this, and he shouldn't let that woman mess around. What do you want to say when you see her?" Cheng Xunxun patted her back and said with relief.
Zhou Yanan took a deep breath, rubbed his cheeks, and said, "Let her leave my dad, don't bully my mom." ”
Cheng Xunshun accompanied her to the restaurant, but there was a bit of a traffic jam on the road, so they were about ten minutes late. When he walked to the door of the private room, Zhou Yanan took a deep breath, straightened his somewhat messy hair, raised his chin at Cheng Xunxun, and said, "Open the door, I'm ready." ”
Cheng Xunxun heard the sound and pushed the door open.
However, when the two of them saw the people sitting inside, they were both shocked. The people inside were equally surprised to see them, "You ......"
Zhou Yanan opened his mouth, "Mom?"
The three of them looked at each other for a long time before Zhou Yanan walked in and exclaimed, "Why are you here?"
"I still want to ask you, why are you!"
When the two of them were really confused, a voice interrupted them and said with a smile, "I did it." Since you two want to talk to me, why don't you just talk to me together, and you can say the same thing anyway, saving some time. ”
A woman with a lot of temperament walked in from outside, with only light makeup on her face and loose clothes, probably because of her clothes, she looked a little pregnant.
She came straight over, sat down in front of the three of them, drank a sip of water, and when she saw that they were still standing, she smiled and waved her hand, and said, "Sit, don't stand, I'll invite you to this meal, you're welcome." Sister. ”
