When Lan Xue returned home, the house was quiet, and Xu Duhang was sitting on the sofa waiting for her in the hall, the TV was turned to mute, and the picture of Duan Meixi and Ren Hori at the airport was playing. Lan Xue walked up to the TV and glanced at the picture on the TV, the cold light in her eyes was still as cold as a star. Xu Duhang got up, looked at her and smiled: "I'm back, Auntie is sleeping, you can go sleep for a while." Lan Xue shook her head with a light smile and said, "I don't want to lie down yet." Xu Duhang knocked Lan Xue's head disapprovingly and smiled: "Are you playing a game with me that has words••••••" Xu Duhang was saying, and suddenly saw Shan Ru holding on to the railing of the stairs and staring at him, his eyes were full of hatred. Xu Duhang looked up at Shan Ru, pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, and at that moment all the hatred in Shan Ru's eyes became even stronger.

Xu Duhang raised his arm again and patted Lan Xue's shoulder, and said softly, "Auntie is awake, and you are also back, then I should go home too." Lan Xue raised her head and saw Shan Ru standing by the railing, and the hatred in Shan Ru's eyes gradually turned into helplessness and misery. Lan Xue walked over and helped her mother down, just as she walked down the stairs, Xu Duhang also went over to help her. Shan Ru pushed Xu Duhang's arm away and said coldly, "You go back." ”

Since childhood, this is the first time that Shan Ru has spoken to himself in such a cold tone, but Xu Duhang was not provoked, he nodded with heartache in his eyes and said, "Then I'll go back first, Auntie, you have to take care of your body." Although his uncle is gone, he is the best dean, and those who have been cured by him will never forget him. Xu Duhang could aggravate the tone of the second half of the sentence, until he saw Shan Ru's hands trembling and the corners of his mouth turned white, he moved his gaze to Lan Xue with satisfaction, and said softly: "Take good care of Auntie and yourself, I'll go back." Before Lan Xue could speak, Shan Ru held Lan Xue's hand tightly and said softly: "Mom is tired, help me up." It's not the first time he's come to our house, so don't worry about him getting lost, help me up. After that, Shan Ru stubbornly took Lan Xue's hand and walked in the direction of the stairs, and Xu Duhang left without saying anything.

Lan Xue helped her mother into the room and asked her to lie down on the bed to help her cover the quilt. Lan Xue looked at her mother's haggard face, smiled and said, "Mom, sleep well, I won't make noise with you, it's right next to you." ”

Shan Ru turned sideways and wanted to close her eyes to escape everything in front of her, but when she saw the family photo on the bedside table, she turned her body and held Lan Xue's hand again. Lan Xue saw the tears on her face, and the tears in her eyes couldn't help but burst out of her eyes, "Don't be like this, Mom, Dad is gone, we have to be stronger••••••"

Shan Ru wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Mom is not because of this." Not because I'm sad, but because I feel guilty. Your dad is gone, mom doesn't know what mom will do with your life in the days when it's just the two of us•••••• mom is scared, afraid that some of my decisions will ruin your life, but mom is scared of •••••• and scared, afraid that she won't be able to keep the most precious things for your dad••••••"

Lan Xue held her mother's hand tightly and hugged her into her arms, and said softly: "Why should my mother feel guilty? My life will not be ruined, it will only be better than before, and I will work with my mother to keep those things that are most precious to my father." ”

Shan Ru raised his head slightly and saw the flickering tears in his daughter's eyes and smiled bitterly: "Silly boy, do you know what those things are?"

Lan Xue nodded, and said very firmly: "No matter what they are, I will defend them to death." Because Dad, it's the most precious •••••• for us."

Shan Ru slowly raised her arm to wipe away the tears on her daughter's face, and at the same time wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, the expression on Shan Ru's face began to become confusing, she squinted her eyes slightly and said lightly: "From now on, mom has to go all out to keep something for your dad, so Xiaoxue ••••••Mom is sorry for you••••••"

Lan Xue didn't speak, she got up and walked around the bed, picking up the frame with the family photo embedded in it. She stroked Lan Fei in the photo, and tears fell on Lan Fei's face. Lan Xue opened the drawer and put the family photo into the drawer, turned her face to look at Shan Ru and said, "From now on, my mother and I will forget the words 'sorry'." Because, in the future, only we are sorry for others••••••" After speaking, Lan Xue returned to Shan Ru's side and helped her cover the quilt again, "Sleep, Mom, I will stay by your side and not go anywhere." ”

Shan Ru slowly lay down, she looked at Lan Xue sitting beside her, and looked at it for a long time. Strangely, Lan Xue didn't notice that Shan Ru was looking at her. Lan Xue turned her head slightly to the side and looked at Shan Ru, who quickly closed her eyes. Shan Ru's heart was filled with an ominous premonition and inexplicable fear. Although her daughter's tone was as soft as usual when she spoke to her just now, there was no spirit in her eyes, no expression at all, like a machine, terrifying like a dead corpse••••••

Duan Meixi didn't seem to remember how she "escaped" the besieged crowd and returned home, her mind was confused, it seemed that Ren Hao pulled herself out and handed her over to Duan Yehan, and it seemed that Duan Yehan rushed into the crowd with Sister Bai and took herself and Ren Hao away respectively•••••• in short, everything that happened today was stuck in my brain like a mess. casually turned on the TV and saw the clip of himself at the airport today, looking at the smile on Ren Hao's face that seemed to be planning everything, Duan Meixi angrily threw the remote control to the ground. The remote control was slammed on the smooth floor and slid out, stopping right at Duan Yehan's feet. Duan Yehan leaned down, picked up the remote control and slowly walked to Duan Meixi's side, Duan Meixi immediately lowered her head when she saw him. Duan Yehan gently put the remote control on the TV cabinet, looked at Duan Meixi, and his eyes were very soft, "Xiaoxi's temper is really going to change." ”

Duan Meixi stuck out her tongue helplessly and said with a wry smile: "What's the matter?, Mom is asleep, Dad is stuffy in the study, and brother••••••You love me so much, you won't be angry about what I do, let alone lose your temper••••••" Duan Meixi reached out and pressed the switch on the TV and continued: "I'm sorry brother, the plane didn't catch up, I can't attend the wedding for you••••••"

Duan Yehan smiled lightly and said, "Fool, this is not something you should be sorry for••••••"

Duan Yehan suddenly stopped talking, Duan Meixi looked at Duan Yehan and seemed to be hiding something, and couldn't help but ask, "Is it, there are still things I don't know?" Duan Yehan looked at Duan Meixi quietly, and after a long time, he smiled and shook his head and said, "Actually, there is no wedding at all•••••• I just want to send you away." Before the incident of Ren Hori's film festival press conference was exposed•••••• Duan Yehan's words were not finished, Duan Meixi preemptively said: "It's just that brother, you are a step slower, aren't you? I was still dug up at the airport." Ha ha. Brother, you underestimate your sister too much, if you think that being treated as a so-called 'black fan' will hurt me, then you really underestimate me••••••" Duan Meixi stopped halfway through her words, she seemed to think of something all of a sudden, she looked at Duan Yehan's increasingly serious expression, the smile on her face gradually cooled, she grabbed Duan Yehan's arm, Duan Yehan could clearly feel the temperature on Duan Meixi's palm like a piercing cold, Duan Yehan looked at her, and said lightly: "Understood?"

Duan Meixi's palm slid down from Duan Yehan's arm, she shook her head and took a few steps back, with a hint of tremor in her voice, "Because I'm going to mess with Ren Hao, isn't it ••••••?"

"It's not. Duan Yehan replied very firmly.

"What's that?"

"I'm afraid you'll be in a dilemma like him••••••" Duan Mutian's voice came from behind Duan Meixi.

Duan Meixi pretended to turn around and saw Duan Mutian standing behind him with a serious face, and after glancing at the wall clock on the wall, she said with some slush: "Dad, aren't you reading in the study?"

Duan Mutian coughed lightly and said, "Although it is a habit for decades, there will be times when special circumstances occur••••••" As he spoke, Duan Mutian turned his gaze to Duan Yehan, "Son, you follow me upstairs." ”

Duan Yehan nodded slightly, looked at Duan Meixi again and smiled, "It's late at night, go to sleep." With that, Duan Yehan followed behind Duan Mutian and prepared to leave. Duan Meixi was unwilling to go to rest like this, she followed, stopped in front of Duan Mutian and said, "What does Dad want to talk about with my brother?" Duan Mutian looked at Duan Meixi, sighed deeply and said, "Girl, I will definitely let you know, but not now." ”

Duan Yehan followed Duan Mutian upstairs, leaving Duan Meixi alone in the same place, Duan Meixi looked at the backs of her father and brother blankly, followed the example of her father, and sighed helplessly and went back to her room.

Duan Yehan followed his father into the study, and watched Duan Mutian sit down, Duan Yehan lowered his head and bowed deeply to him and said, "I'm sorry Dad, I could have stopped it, but I really think that Ren Ju can bring happiness to Xiaoxi." ”

Duan Mutian was silent, he looked at Duan Yehan, who had never looked up, and after a long time, Duan Mutian spoke: "You really really feel sorry for your sister, think about it carefully, even if my own son is still alive, he may not love Meixi as much as you." But son, you forgot the most important point, that is, Meixi's thoughts•••••• as far as I know, Meixi's heart doesn't seem to be that kid. Duan Mutian got up and walked to Duan Yehan's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Child, you don't have to pretend to be firm in front of your father. Dad understands what you mean, you have done so much, pull Mixi in, revenge is secondary, and the most important reason is that you want Mixi to meet your brother, right?"

Duan Mutian's words suddenly made a disapproving smile appear on Duan Yehan's face, "If it wasn't for Dad who wavered and wanted me to leave as Zuo Chen, how could Xiaoxi get involved? Dad should remember that I once said that in the future, I will only do what I want to do." Including, how do I want to treat my sister••••••"

"You ••••••" Seeing Duan Yehan's eyes becoming more and more resolute, Duan Mutian suddenly choked up, but the perseverance in his eyes still did not change, and he said to Duan Mutian in a very certain tone: "Dad, you can believe me, Ren Yu is definitely a person who can give his life for Xiaoxi." ”

Duan Mutian sighed helplessly: "So sure?"

"Yes. ”

"Why?"

"Because ••••••" Duan Yehan turned his face sideways, his expression a little hesitant. But when he saw the dark shadow standing next to him, he looked away and said, "I'm sorry Dad, I can't tell you why." ”

"Since you don't want to say it, Dad won't force you. Duan Mutian didn't plan to continue asking, after all, he also admired Ren Ju very much. Duan Mutian pondered for a moment and continued: "Lan Fei is dead•••••• I originally thought you would leave him out••••••"

"It can't be, everyone who has hurt my mother has to pay the price. The smile that was still on Duan Yehan's face just now was completely gone.

Duan Mutian shook his head helplessly, sighed and returned to his seat, looked at the resolute look in Duan Yehan's eyes like a blade, and said, "Dad now finally understands why you pushed that child all the way out, you are really for her good." Son, you are really ruthless•••••• ruthless enough•••••• smart enough to get rid of the people you want without having to do it yourself••••••"

Duan Yehan didn't immediately pick up Duan Mutian's words, but just hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "I thought there was no flaw, but I didn't expect to be discovered by my father." Does Daddy have any eyeliner by my side?"

"Haha••••••" Duan Mutian also did not hide his laughter, he smiled and looked at Duan Yehan, who was also looking at him with a smile, and said, "Then, who of our two sons found out earlier?"

Duan Ye Hanxing shook his head as if nothing had happened, and said, "I don't understand what Dad meant. ”

Duan Mutian looked at the expression on Duan Yehan's face and said with a dark smile: "Son, don't pretend to be confused. How can you be so loving to Meixi that you are willing to let her avenge you? What's more, you know very well that with me, it is impossible for me and your mother to be harmed. Ever since Zhang Dong told me your theory that you deliberately asked Meixi to avenge you in order to protect me and your mother, I already know that my son is really getting more and more difficult. ”

The corners of Duan Yehan's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he smiled: "It turns out that it's really that kid••••••"

Duan Mutian lit a cigarette, took a puff and dusted off the ashes in the ashtray, spit out a faint circle of eyes and said, "Otherwise, do you think that you can provide for the life of their mother and son with your little scholarship? Just assume that your father helped you make this friend•••••• now should you also talk about what you should say?"
