Zhou Wei didn't expect Chen Haodong to take the initiative to call him, and slowly leaned over and leaned against the wall.

"Hmm!" he replied faintly, waiting for the next step.

After a short silence, he heard a light boo, it should be Chen Haodong who spit out the cigarette, and then spoke: "How is Chang'an?"

Zhou Wei was not surprised at all, he called at this time presumably just for her business, and Chang An's mobile phone was turned off, he should have tried to contact her, and if he couldn't get in touch, he could only contact himself.

I care a lot!

Zhou Wei pinched his eyebrows and replied, "You should already know what happened." ”

Chen Haodong: "I heard a little, but I was not specific. ”

Zhou Wei: "So what you want to ask about the case, or her person?"

Another silence, half-paid......

"People!"

Zhou Wei couldn't help but hum, with a little emotion, "The person is very good, she is very strong, and you don't need to worry too much." He couldn't see Chen Haodong's expression at this time, and only heard the sound of a quick smoking.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Zhou Wei showed rare patience.

Chen Haodong seemed to laugh very strangely, "No, that's it!"

After a short call, Zhou Wei stood in the corridor for a while, pinched his eyebrows and walked back to the bedroom.

The person in the bed seemed to be sleeping deeply, and he knew that she must be tired, so he didn't bother, and took his phone and went downstairs.

There was a thunderclap outside the window, and the rain seemed to pour down from the sky in an instant, but the whole apartment was dark and cold.

Most of the wine on the table was already half a bottle, and his throat was burning in a panic, Chen Haodong pressed the wine glass to his forehead, and his consciousness flickered in the chaos.

He remembered that night many years ago, it was also raining heavily, and Chang An came to knock on his door.

"Brother, I'm packed, let's go!"

She wrapped herself tightly and carried a small box in her hand.

How old was she that year? She had just turned seventeen and was not yet an adult, but she was willing to leave everything for him and dare to "elope" with him with only a few clothes.

Young and naïve, fiery infatuation, the teenage Chang An really trusted him 100%.

Chen Haodong pressed his eyes with the back of his hand, is time going too fast or is it a trick to make people? There was a loud bang, but he couldn't hold back, and he swept all the things on the bar to the ground.

"Ouch, what's the matter, who messed you off like this?" a voice came from behind him, and the man in the high chair leaned slightly sideways.

He had forgotten to lock the door when he had just returned, so He Bin was able to walk in without any obstacles.

The floor was littered with wine stains and broken glass.

"I heard from the people at the construction site that you took sick leave today, thinking that you were really sick, it turned out that you were hiding at home and drinking alone!" He Bin smiled playfully, and sat in front of Chen Haodong with a chair.

Chen Haodong's face was ugly, he raised his head slightly, and his eyes were red and bloodshot.

He Bin was very interested, and leaned forward as if offering a treasure: "Let me tell you good news, do you know that Rongbang has been involved in a lawsuit in the past few days? It is said that there is a problem with the funds that her wife invested in a while ago, and the surname Zhou has been in the procuratorate for a few days for this matter, and he just came out today, and his wife, who usually doesn't always look high? The huge inheritance she inherited for a long time is all stolen money from embezzlement. ”

"Get out!"

"No, you listen to me first, Rong Bang has been in public relations for the past few days, probably trying to suppress the matter, but how can I agree? Two days ago, I found someone to stab him out, damn, who let the last steel bar surnamed Zhou hold me down, so that I can't hold my head up in front of the shareholders until now, and his wife ......"

"Get out!"

"No, his wife..."

"Don't understand, I'll tell you to get out!" Chen Haodong suddenly raised his voice, his scarlet eyes were cold, He Bin couldn't help but shudder when he saw him like this for the first time, and his mouth closed dryly, "Brother Dong, you are..."

Chen Haodong suddenly raised the only cup in his hand and smashed it at him.

He Bin was stunned, fortunately he was not smashed, but he was finally frightened and ran out in a panic, and ran outside the door in one breath, feeling angry and wrecked.

", you really think of yourself as a master, what the hell!" he kicked on the iron door in anger, but he couldn't control his strength, he bent down in pain and hugged the foot, bared his teeth and smoked for a long time, and finally limped into the elevator.

After some scolding, the ground was already a mess.

Chen Haodong raised his hand and touched his forehead, the temperature seemed to be hotter than just now.

Zhou Wei went downstairs to take a shower and change into clean clothes, and the fatigue and sleepiness of the past few days seemed to have been reduced a lot. He didn't know when Chang An would wake up from sleep, and he was afraid that she would be hungry when she woke up, so he planned to cook something, but there had been no fire at home for a long time recently, and there was no stock in the refrigerator, so Zhou Wei finally decided to boil some porridge.

Wash the rice, pour water, put it in the pot... The procedure is very simple, but the waiting process is a bit long, and he doesn't plan to go anywhere, he just leans on the cooking table and waits slowly, but as soon as his mind is empty, all kinds of emotions come up, it's not that he is not upset, he is not a god, what has happened recently is consuming his will and energy, and when he can't bear it, he has to use something to transfer.

Zhou Wei touched a cigarette lit, the tobacco was mixed with the slowly vacated rice fragrance, and suddenly heard something moving, turned sideways slightly, and saw a figure slowly walking in the darkness outside.

When he saw the person clearly, he immediately snuffed out the cigarette he had just lit.

"Why did you wake up?"

The person in front of her didn't answer, but her steps gradually approached, until she walked in front of Zhou Xian, she seemed to swallow hard, "I want to go to Fengli." ”

Zhou Wei paused, but was only a short silence, and then asked, "Now?"

"Yes, now, is that okay?"

Zhou Wei glanced at his watch, it was almost eight o'clock, and it was still raining heavily, but the final exit was: "Yes!"

Chang An smiled extremely hard, "Then I'll go change my clothes." ”

"Good!"

The man had already walked to the door of the kitchen, and Zhou Wei smelled the faint fragrance in the air.

"Wait!"

"Huh?"

"I've boiled some porridge, you eat something before you leave. ”

The person at the door seemed to think about it, but finally nodded obediently: "Okay!"

Twenty minutes later, Zhou Wei brought the porridge to the living room, and Chang An sat on the sofa with a pillow, so he simply put the porridge bowl on the coffee table.

"It's a bit hot. ”

"Hmm. ”

Chang An took a few sips of the bowl and began to drink porridge, and Zhou Wei sat on the sofa opposite and watched the whole process, feeling a sense of "walking on thin ice" in his heart.

She was so calm, unbelievably calm, it was really abnormal.

"Chang An?" Zhou Wei suddenly spoke.

The woman drinking porridge on the other side raised her head, "Is there something wrong?"

Zhou Wei condensed slightly, "It's nothing, just ask you, how does the porridge taste?"

As a result, Chang An also laughed and replied: "It's delicious." ”

Zhou Wei laughed bitterly, and swallowed all the words he wanted to ask.

From Yunling to Fengli, the normal situation should be about an hour and a half by car, but that night storm, the speed can not be raised, the mountain road is also difficult to drive, the two to Fengli when it is almost eleven o'clock, into the mountain, the surrounding is darker, sporadic mottled lights are also unrealistically imprinted on the window glass that is pasted by the rain.

Zhou Wei has been paying attention to Chang An's mood all the way, but she is always calm, her eyes are empty, and her face is almost the same as usual.

This state of affairs continued until the door of the house.

Zhou Wei parked his car on a cement yard not far from the bamboo forest, but the person in the co-pilot did not move.

"It's here. He reminded.

Chang An first turned her head to look and saw the small farmhouse building in the rain and fog, the first and second floors seemed to be lit up, as if waiting for someone to visit in the middle of the night, and then she took a deep breath.

Zhou Wei reached out and shook her clenched fingers, "I'll accompany you in!" A few short words, like a warm breeze in a cold night.

Chang An raised his head and looked at him, and finally a trace of uneasiness finally leaked out from his tense eyes.

Zhou Wei was distressed, took out an umbrella from Xiao Geli next to him, and took the lead to get out of the car and go around to Chang'an......

Chang Wangde had just taken the medicine and had another injection, and vaguely heard a car downstairs.

"It should be Xiao An's coming. Wei Suying spoke first.

Chang Wangde pressed the pinhole and got up from the bed, and in the next second, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Yes, what should come will come!"

Wei Suying sighed, "Then I'll open the door?"

Chang Wangde waved his hand, "Let her wait in the study on the first floor!"

"Good. ”

Before leaving, Wei Suying took a sweater for Chang Wangde and put it on him, "It's cold at night, you can get dressed and go downstairs." ”

Chang An was taken to the study by Wei Suying, closed the door, and she withdrew again, as if she was deliberately trying to create a private space for the father and daughter, Zhou Wei didn't plan to disturb, and shook the umbrella in her hand.

"I'll pour you a cup of tea!" Wei Suying didn't ask what the two of them were suddenly visiting late at night, which showed that she should already know in her heart.

Zhou Wei also followed her words, "Don't be busy!"

"Yes, you sit first!"

She braved the rain to go to the front yard, and soon trotted over again, already with a thermos in her hand, and poured a cup of tea.

"Maybe the two of them want to talk for a while, you sit down first!" Wei Suying took out the fruit plate on the lower level of the cabinet again, the fruit plate is still the one eaten here on Chinese New Year's Eve a few days ago, but the contents have been changed, and there were sugar and red dates that were used as omen for the New Year in the countryside before, but now they have been replaced with various nuts.

Is this a posture to promote a long night talk?

"Thank you!" Zhou Wei naturally didn't eat these things, but just took a cup.

Wei Suying didn't mean to leave, and sat down opposite him, and began to chat with him without a match, first saying that he didn't go to see the old man during the New Year, the two families usually lack of movement, and the etiquette is actually a little unbearable, and said that Chang Jiahui borrowed Zhou Wei's apartment, and she stayed in the city alone, thanks to Chang An and him to take care of it, anyway, it was all trivial matters, but he didn't mention the case at all, but Zhou Wei could feel that Wei Suying should know all the truth, but she didn't talk about it, so he didn't take the initiative to mention it.

For more than an hour, from eleven o'clock through the early hours of the morning, the rain outside did not stop, accompanied by the rumbling lightning and thunder.

After the bell in the study struck twelve times, Chang Wangde finally finished telling the story.

Chang An always sat there in one position, and for a long time, she slowly raised her head, her eyes fluttering.

“…… So, I'm not your daughter?"

There was another thunderclap outside the window, and the town seemed to be sealed in a confined space by heavy rain.

This is the spring thunder, the spring thunder sounded, and the swallow was shocked and the snake was frightened!

There was a "click", and there was finally movement in the study.

Zhou Wei got up from the sofa at once, her heart was pounding, and soon she saw Chang An coming over, she always kept her head down, and her steps were very slow, and this was about a few tens of meters away, from the end of the study to the living room, no one spoke, no one bothered, Wei Suying and Zhou Wei both stood in front of the sofa and held their breath and watched.

Until she reached the center of the room and raised her head slightly.

His face turned whiter, and his lips seemed to be bitten out with a row of tooth marks.

Zhou Wei didn't know what they talked about in it, or what she was about to face, but she could clearly feel Chang An's emotions that were about to collapse.

She's pushing it, that's his first reaction.

Originally, he wanted to ask, "Are you done talking?", but now he just walked over and removed the bangs that covered her forehead, "Go back now?"

Chang An swallowed his breath and wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't make any sound in his throat, and finally just nodded his head and nodded heavily.

Yes, she's going back, she doesn't want to stay here for a moment.

Zhou Wei went over to take the umbrella and said goodbye to Wei Suying.

"Then I'll take her there first. ”

Wei Suying looked at Chang An's back, and she didn't want to look at her head-on from beginning to end.

"Okay, be careful on the road!"

Seeing Zhou Wei holding an umbrella and holding Chang An through the yard, the wooden door "creaked", the car started, and there was a light source outside the door that shone on the rain and rushed in.

After half a ring, the car drove away, Wei Suying closed the door, and then turned around and went to the study.

Chang Wangde stood in front of the window, holding a low cabinet with his hand, still wearing the sweater she coaxed him to wear before going downstairs, light coffee color, or she knitted it for him with her own hands.

"Did you tell her?" asked Wei Suying.

He choked on the low cabinet, but didn't turn around.

"It's all said!"

"What's her reaction?"

"It was calm. ”

"No crying?"

"Nope. ”

Wei Suying smiled bitterly, "This is very similar to her mother!"

"Really?" Chang Wangde knew what she meant, probably saying that Chang An's personality was the same as Xue Bing, the more he encountered things, the calmer he became, and the calmer he was, the more stubborn he would make decisions.

"Maybe, after all, she was conceived in October. Chang Wangde finally turned around, his face was pale under the light, and he was swollen due to the side effects of the drug, and if he looked closely, his temples were even whiter.

He seems to have aged ten years in the past six months, old love, old fate, old sins, tortured to this moment, who says that it is not a relief?

Wei Suying smiled bitterly again: "Then I'm afraid she will hate you even more in the future." ”

Chang Wangde sighed, "Whatever, it's just a pity that I couldn't protect her in the end." ”

"What about you?" Wei Suying suddenly approached.

Chang Wangde was stunned, "Me?"

"Yes, you, after all these years, you don't have a little grudge?"

Chang Wangde turned around again, the rain outside the window still hadn't stopped, but the town in the mountains was quiet, and there was no light in sight at this time.

"To say that there is no resentment is unrealistic, I am not a saint, I definitely can't accept that my wife has an affair with others, but at the age of thirty-four is already in the right place, at the age of forty to be promoted to the deputy hall, less than fifty is already the main department, others may not be able to climb up to death, I have reached this position in less than twenty years, among which I dare not say that there is no credit for Xiaoice, so on this basis, I dare not resent." ”

Wei Suying closed her eyes and sighed silently, "You know that's not what I said. ”

She doesn't understand the officialdom, and she doesn't want to understand, she has followed Chang Wangde hard for so many years, from being nameless and pointless to now, she knows her own weight, but she is always a little unwilling, "I'm asking you, every time you look at Xiao An over the years, you really don't have a little diaphragm in your heart?"

The diaphragm should be ?ho...

Chang Wangde looked into the night.

"Diaphragm should definitely have, do you know what I felt when I first learned that Xiaoice was pregnant?"

Wei Suying thought for a while and replied bitterly: "It should be quite happy." ”

"I'm not happy, I'm excited!"

Yes, he was so excited, because Xue Bing had always been reluctant to have a child with him, so that the two had been married for many years and had no children. She received a foreign education at that time, she was aggressive and strong, and she was in the top spot in Yu'an, how could she allow herself to have a child and tie herself up, so Xue Bing always held the idea of Dink.

This idea is not unusual now, but it was more than 20 years ago, a woman got married but insisted on not having children, it was unreasonable, for this Chang Wangde did not persuade her less, even coaxed and deceived, and even quarreled a few times about it, but Xue Bing has no temperament, and no one can change what she decides, so she is in her thirties, her stomach has not moved, but she is cold, she suddenly told Chang Wangde that she is pregnant, what mood should he have?

Chang Wangde stood in front of the window and thought about it, and the corners of his mouth could still hook a smile.

Surprise, surprise, or emotion.

But her temper is not good at lying, or she doesn't care about lying at all, so the next sentence that tells me that she is pregnant is that the child is not mine, and it is the evil obstacle that she accidentally left behind after the other men. ”

"That's why you have Jiahui, right?"

Although Wei Su has never asked for so many years, he has long known it in his heart. "You can't ask for a child from her, she made up her mind to let the Zhou family cut off children and grandchildren, you can still forgive, but you can't forgive her for betraying your marriage, so after learning the truth, I can't wait to leave a seed with me. ”

Whether it's revenge or venting anger, the fact is that Chang Wangde found Wei Suying outside a few days after learning that Xue Bing was pregnant.

Outsiders think she is his love, after all, how could a smart and cautious person like him make such a low-level mistake in his personal style, you must know that cheating in marriage will affect his career, he was in the limelight at that time, if it wasn't for true love and invincible, how could he risk ruining his future and Wei Suying, but what about the facts?

The truth may only be known to the person concerned, but what outsiders see is that Chang An was born nine months later, and not long after, Chang Jiahui was born.

"Bad fate. Chang Wangde sneered, his face sank again, and there was restrained pain in his eyes.

"Xiaoice left a suicide note when she left, asking me to take good care of Xiao An, now that things are like this, her road will be very difficult in the future!"

For the past 20 years, she has been a princess, dressed in fine clothes and food, high on top, but she was pushed into the abyss suddenly, not only to get into lawsuits and disputes, confiscate the inheritance, but also to face the truth of her parents.

Wei Suying could also anticipate Chang'an's situation and comforted: "It's not your problem that things get like this, as the old saying goes, this is called making people by creation, but in this way, Jiahui's life is better than her." In the second half of the sentence, Wei Suying said it in a self-deprecating tone, but Chang Wangde nodded in response and agreed.

Who says it's not? In such a comparison, although Chang Jiahui's life is ordinary, she doesn't have to go through such a roller coaster ride from heaven to earth, and her life is turbulent.

Zhou Wei was nervous all the way, not only to pay attention to the situation ahead, after all, the heavy rain opened the mountain road, and danger lurked everywhere, but he also had to pay attention to Chang'an's emotions from time to time.

She dragged her fists and buried her head all the way, as if she was trying to seal herself in a state of complete confinement.

Zhou Wei is really not at ease, she will definitely have an accident like this.

Finally got to the city and got off the elevated road, Zhou Wei relaxed a little.

The street lights on both sides were bright, and he found out through the light that Chang An's face was white, and there seemed to be a layer of fine sweat on his forehead.

"Chang An?" he wanted to shake her hand, but her fingers tightened, as if stubbornly holding on to something and refusing to let go, Zhou Wei tried a few times to break her hand away, but in vain.

The red light in front of him jumped the green light, and he had to give up first and drive the car over the intersection and pull over.

"Chang'an!"

"Chang An?" he shouted twice, but there was no response, he had to take off his seat belt and turn her over, his small body was still hanging his head in front of him, Zhou Wei had never seen her like this, but her body was clearly shaking, like a pool of stagnant water wrapped in something that would gush at any time.

"Relax, relax first!" Zhou Wei stroked her arms, trying to use this method to allow her to break the dead silence, but Chang An gritted his teeth and held back his strength, and the stubborn temperament in his bones was vividly expressed at this time.

Zhou Wei felt that he was about to collapse.

"Chang An, listen to me, many times we don't have a choice, but since things have happened, it is an objective fact, at least we should have the courage to face it. ”

"I know it's a bit cruel to say this to you at this time, but the inconsequential comforts don't mean anything to you, and I'm sure you don't want to hear it, you can escape for a while, but don't fight yourself. Zhou Wei slowly put his arm around Chang An's shoulder and patted her on the back again.

Chang An was only a very slight tremor at first, but gradually the amplitude increased, and Zhou Wei could even hear the sound of her teeth clenching and rubbing.

She seems to be about to lose it, but she is still enduring it, so painful!

"Okay, you don't have to think about anything for the time being, I'll take you back first, the only thing you need now is rest. ”

The two have been together for so long, this should be the first time Zhou Wei has shown his advantages in age and experience, calm and calm, and she is only a girl in her early twenties after all.

Zhou Wei stroked Chang An's back a few more times, helped her to lean over, and was about to start the car again, only to hear a sudden heavy gasp from the co-pilot, and then a "wow", like a long rainbow, Chang An cried out to the front windshield without warning.

Zhou Wei: "......"
