"Well, I found it. Li Su on the other end of the phone reported to Chenglie, "At 7:15 this morning, Uncle Yan died of stomach cancer at Saargrunska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden. ”

"Stomach cancer?" Although Uncle Yan's words before he died made Cheng Lie extremely unhappy, when it was confirmed that Uncle Yan had died, Cheng Lie couldn't help but feel a little sad for the old man.

To be precise, when he was a teenager, he often saw Uncle Yan at Pei Yuansheng's house.

Uncle Yan's skills are very good, although he is a housekeeper, the Pei family also invites them, but he often cooks for them himself.

Cheng Lie likes to eat Uncle Yan's dishes, especially the shredded chicken porridge he makes.

Uncle Yan is very gentle, has a good temper, and always smiles slightly, when Cheng Lie and Pei Yuansheng were young, Uncle Yan was only the age of their fathers.

But Uncle Yan never asked for this and that like an elder, and Uncle Yan didn't really look like a housekeeper, Cheng Lie had the impression that Uncle Yan was like Pei Yuansheng's real father, so in his opinion, Uncle Yan was not only the housekeeper of the Pei family, but also an uncle with a good personality and a very kind heart.

Cheng Lie remembered that once when it was raining, his driver couldn't come over in time before school because of a traffic jam, but Uncle Yan appeared at the school gate on time, brought umbrellas for him and Pei Yuansheng, and thoughtfully took dry towels to wipe their faces.

That picture is still fresh in his memory, Cheng Lie's father Cheng Kuan often traveled for business when he was very young, just like now, Cheng Lie in his youth is also rare to see his father, let alone feel the care of his father.

Cheng Lie's mother also has limited care for Cheng Lie, after all, there were Cheng Feng and Cheng Meng one after another, and most of her energy is focused on the two younger children, for the eldest son in the family Cheng Lie, Cheng Lie's mother only thinks that he has grown up, and people have always been sensible, even if he is negligent to him, it doesn't matter, anyway, he will take care of himself.

Cheng Lie had indeed become very mature and stable at that time, and sometimes he would play like an ordinary boy with a group of children outside, but in essence, he was much more sensible than his peers, and he would never be willing to cause trouble to his family, especially his mother.

But no matter how sensible he is, no matter how he looks like a little adult, he is still a teenager, how can he not desire to be cared for by his parents at all.

At that time, Cheng Lie was actually very envious of his good brother Pei Yuansheng, because Pei Yuansheng had an Uncle Yan who treated him meticulously.

Uncle Yan is really like Pei Yuansheng's father, and he also gives meticulous care to Pei Yuansheng's good brother Cheng Lie, he seems to be able to see the sensitivity and fragility of this strong child's heart, as long as he has the opportunity to meet Cheng Lie, he will always do his best to treat him, every time Cheng Lie goes to Pei Yuansheng's house for dinner, Uncle Yan will also deliberately make what Cheng Lie likes to eat, and keep giving Cheng Lie dishes at the dinner table.

When he was a teenager, Cheng Lie felt that it was a very happy thing to go to Pei's house for dinner, and in Pei's family, he could feel a kind of fatherly love that he didn't have the opportunity to feel in his own home.

He even secretly thought that it would be nice if his own father was like Uncle Yan. He didn't want his father to be a big official at all, he would rather his father just be a housekeeper like Uncle Yan.

Fortunately, gradually, Cheng Lie and Pei Yuansheng grew up, and when they grew up, Cheng Lie became a soldier, his mission was to protect his family and defend the country, and he continued to fight at the forefront of the battle, I don't know from which year or from which day, he completely forgot the troubles of his youth, and no longer longed for the father's love that he once lacked in his life.

After all, the nature of Cheng Lie's work is confidential, although Pei Yuansheng is much more high-profile, he wants to provoke Pei's enterprise by himself, and does not let those who are eyeing Pei's enterprise take advantage of it, and his pressure is not much less than that of Cheng Lie. After all, his father died early, his mother didn't care about business matters at all, and except for Uncle Yan, there was no elder around him who could help him.

Their friendship has not changed, but the number of times they meet has been reduced to four or five times a year, and sometimes they need to take out a big task when they meet Cheng Lie, and it may be rare to see each other once in half a year. When he became an adult, Pei Yuansheng naturally did not go anywhere with Uncle Yan like he did when he was a child, and occasionally Cheng Lie saw Uncle Yan at the same time as Pei Yuansheng, and a complex emotion still surged in his heart.

No one knows how much he wished to have a father like Uncle Yan when he was a teenager, no one knows how grateful Uncle Yan was for his care and concern for Pei Yuansheng equally.

When Uncle Yan deliberately said those words to him on the phone, and asked him to convey his last words to Tang Xiao word for word, Cheng Lie clearly felt the old man's malice.

He knew that his words would make him sad and angry, he knew that he was hurting him, but he was still able to hurt him with all his heart.

When he said those words word by word that were enough to make a normal man collapse, what came to Cheng Lie's mind was the picture of Uncle Yan once standing at the school gate with an umbrella to pick him up and Pei Yuansheng.

In the weaving rain curtain, two teenagers in white school uniforms ran towards Uncle Yan with schoolbags on their heads, Uncle Yan stood there with an umbrella, looking at the two of them lovingly, and his handsome face hung a gentle and patient smile from beginning to end.

Then, he gave an umbrella to Cheng Lie, and fifteen-year-old Cheng Lie opened the umbrella and saw Superman printed on the umbrella.

At that moment, the young man's nose was sore, and he almost cried when he looked at Uncle Yan.

Uncle Yan looked at him at that time and smiled slightly, and he asked him, do you like it?

How could he not like it.

At that time, he wanted to be a fearless superman, and once discussed with Pei Yuansheng at the dinner table, his young and immature face was full of yearning.

He didn't think that someone would send him an umbrella with Superman printed on it.

It was arguably the greatest gift he had ever received as a teenager.

No one knew that his study still contained the broken Superman umbrella.

However, the person who gave the umbrella chose to use the most cruel words at the last moment of his life to hurt the boy he had given warmth.

Does Cheng Lie hate him?

Not.

He just felt a little hurt in his heart.

It had been a long time since he had felt this hurt by someone.

Only emotionally vulnerable people can be hurt.

Only those who care can hurt him.

He didn't think he was a vulnerable person. Except for Tang Xiao, there are very few people in this world who can hurt him.

Yes, compared to Uncle Yan, Tang Xiao hurt him more in this matter. However, as a man, he would never admit that he had been "hurt".

After hanging up the phone, he quickly calmed down and asked Li Su to check Uncle Yan's whereabouts. Because he wanted to confirm whether Uncle Yan was really dead and whether those words were really his last words.

Deep down, of course he hoped he wasn't dead, and those words were just a prank on his part.

Although he knew very well that Uncle Yan was by no means a person who was boring enough to make a special call to make a prank.

"Yes, I found out that Uncle Yan was already in the advanced stage of stomach cancer when he arrived in Sweden. On the other end of the phone, Li Su continued to state everything he had found out about Uncle Yan.

"In fact, his condition has deteriorated some time ago, but Uncle Yan has been holding on in the hospital and survived several critical illnesses. This time, maybe the old man had a hunch on his own, and after the phone call ended, he stopped breathing. After that, the hospital made an all-out rescue effort, but it was useless. ”

"Who is the foreign woman who is with him?" Cheng Lie himself didn't know why he asked this, perhaps, he wanted to know if Uncle Yan was doing well before he died, and whether he had achieved happiness.

"It is said to be his wife, but this news has not been confirmed, boss, do you need me to investigate further?" asked Li Su.

"No need. Cheng Lie said lightly.

He knew that Uncle Yan had never married or had children in his life, and he treated Pei Yuansheng as his own, and dedicated his whole body and mind to the Pei family. After working so hard, it is already a great happiness to be able to get a marriage in his old age, and to have his wife by his side before he dies.

Cheng Yeol wants to believe that all this is true. That old man has been kind to people all his life, and he should have had a happier and more comfortable old age.

But...... Cheng Lie suddenly thought of one thing, that is, why did Uncle Yan die in Sweden, but he didn't hear that Pei Yuansheng went to Sweden?

It stands to reason that Pei Yuansheng's feelings for Uncle Yan should be no less than Uncle Yan's feelings for Pei Yuansheng, they are nominally master and servant, but emotionally they are as close as father and son, Uncle Yan's death will definitely cause a lot of blows to Pei Yuansheng, and his future affairs should also be handled by Pei Yuansheng.

"Li Su, before Uncle Yan died, was there only that foreign lady by his side?" asked Cheng Lie.

"Yes. Li Su said firmly, "I specifically asked, the guardian is only Ms. Linda, and Uncle Yan does not have any children." ”

This is strange, Pei Yuansheng was not present, what was he busy with?

Although they were also injured in that earthquake, after Tang Xiao woke up, Pei Yuansheng and Jin Xiaoyi had a phone call with Tang Xiao, and both of them were much less injured than Tang Xiao, so it stands to reason that they should be almost better.

Even if he doesn't fully recover and his loved ones die, doesn't he care at all?

Cheng Lie's handsome eyebrows furrowed tightly.

"Li Su, find out where Pei Yuansheng is and what he is doing. Cheng Lie said in a deep voice.

"Mr. Cha Pei?" Li Su was stunned, the boss is really weird today, isn't Mr. Pei his good brother?

"What, there's a problem?" Cheng Lie's voice was cold.

"Ah, don't dare, don't dare," Li Su hurriedly said, "Boss, Li Su will do whatever you explain." ”
