Chapter 18: Childhood Promises
The dusty past opened in my mind in an instant.
When he was ten years old, he remembered that it was just on his birthday, Su Yiying listened to the advice given by her sisters, and obtained information and photos of several children in poor mountainous areas through some channels, hoping to accumulate blessings for Yan Sheng, who was often sick.
"Xiao Sheng, take a look again, do you have anything as a gift for that child in the mountains?"
I saw Yan Sheng stop the chopsticks in his hand, lazily picked up a carved sterling silver spoon next to him, and said perfunctorily: "That's it." ”
The little Yan Sheng already has a cold temperament, and he cherishes words like gold.
Su Yiying sighed silently, lamenting that she couldn't have a soft and cute son like other people's families.
"Sister Meng, help me get a gift box for the spoon. ”
"Okay, but madam, this silver spoon was specially forged by the deceased old man for his brother and sister, which is not good!"
Su Yiying glanced at the silver spoon, the whole body was glossy, the handle was delicately carved, and the back was engraved with the word "Sheng" in a small seal font, this warm design all revealed the old man's love for his grandson.
However, the young Yan Sheng didn't understand the old man's thoughts, and she didn't bother to tell him this, so she waved her hand and motioned Sister Meng to do the same.
This time 21 years have passed, and now Yan Sheng, who is 31 years old, is the period of ambition in his prime, he does not have the dominance of the children of wealthy families, has no complicated and unspeakable past, and does not have the hobby of being drunk and drunk. He is the proud son of the sky with his own aristocratic temperament, and among the three major gateway families in H City, the Yan Group is the only one. The master of the Yan family, Yan Zhe, once easily stirred up the commercial rivers and lakes of the entire H City.
His proud son, Yan Sheng, is also a new force that everyone in the future should not underestimate. In the early years, relying on his outstanding talent and keen sense of smell in the shopping mall, he set foot in the field of e-commerce, perfectly combined advertising and e-commerce, and founded a well-known advertising company in the country - Shengyi Advertising.
Such a perfect man is the object of all wealthy daughters, and he envies the eyes of many young people.
He is naturally arrogant, and everything he does must follow his inner principle - to practice what the upper class should do.
Since he was a child, his grandfather, who loved him the most, took him everywhere to go in and out of different occasions, teaching him the way of a gentleman and a gentleman, so he slowly grew into a self-disciplined, rational, and upper-class man with a sense of mission.
At that time, Xiao Yansheng already understood his identity and destiny, he was born to step on the top of the food chain in this world, and when necessary, he wanted to contribute to this society, especially to help people in the lower strata of society, so he still agreed with Su Yiying's approach, although he didn't have to do anything, just let Su Yiying hang up a name.
It's just that what he didn't know was that the little girl who was seven years younger than him who was pointed out by himself back then was actually Lin Xiaomu.
He vaguely remembered the little girl in ragged clothes in the photo, her hair was messy and draped over her shoulders, she must have been malnourished for a long time, and her hair color was grayish-yellow. The little face is full of ash cinders stuck from nowhere, and the face is hungry and thin, which makes people feel distressed. The only thing that catches the eye is the big eyes that look at the camera, clear and innocent, and unworldly.
There are also several photos of children like Lin Xiaomu next to them, they have similar backgrounds and unbearable encounters, but their eyes are full of tenacious vitality and desire for a new life. They are typical children in poor mountainous areas who need assistance from the state.
Or in the past 20 years, Yan Sheng has long forgotten the promise he didn't take to heart back then, but Su Yiying has been silently insisting on supporting Lin Xiaomu behind his back.
When thinking of these past events, Yan Sheng was both surprised and a little flustered. He was surprised that he had such a wonderful fate with her, but more than that, he was flustered, which was not the fact he wanted to know. Now, after knowing the truth, what is exchanged for a trace of unspeakable embarrassment.
He was born to be the pride of the sky and knows the rules of survival in this world. The survival of the fittest, whether it is in the mall where he is comfortable or in the unpredictable life, this has always been the principle of heaven. Class divisions are inevitable.
He has always followed the principle of his heart, he will not be born to look down on the lower class like other wealthy nobles, but at least he knows that the family mission, identity and status he bears make him unable to coexist with these people who are in the marginal class status.
This letter was like a solemn wake-up bell on the temple hill, striking deeply into his inner soul.
