Chapter 40: Broken Contract
Something so big happened, Locke suddenly sobered up, holding the sheets in one hand and the phone in the other, thinking quickly in his head, and he was desperately recalling where that chance was.
However, after all, more than three years have passed, and he has been flying around the world all year round, and there are countless encounters at the airport, and for a while, Locke can't help but be a little confused.
Zhan Xingchuan was worse than him, and the vague speculation in his heart became a reality, and after being confirmed from the mouth of his good friend, he suddenly had a sense of frustration that he was the only one who was kept in the dark.
The fingers pinching the mobile phone were a little harder, and the joints were white, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I won't tell you these old things now, you better go and verify it first, and if you have the result, you will tell me as soon as possible." ”
Locke nodded like a peck of rice, and immediately agreed.
Putting down the phone, Locke grabbed his hair, he hadn't slept for two hours, and now he was walking with a flutter, but he still stubbornly called his assistant and flew straight to New York immediately.
Zhan Xingchuan's mood was complicated, he didn't even eat lunch, and his face was black throughout the afternoon meeting, so frightened that the heads of various departments didn't dare to come out, and ended the meeting tremblingly, and more than a dozen people ran away.
He left the company early and bought a box of freshly baked cheesecake for Zhan Ruijue on the way, the little guy likes to eat it very much, and he doesn't know who it is, Zhan Xingchuan and Yu Youwei don't want to eat this.
When making the payment, as soon as Zhan Xingchuan opened his wallet, he inadvertently saw the note with his mobile phone number written on it, and when he thought that he hadn't thanked the other party yet, he pulled it out and held it in his hand.
As soon as he got into the car and put the cake in the passenger seat, Zhan Xingchuan took out his mobile phone and dialed the number on the note.
It actually worked
He was thinking about how to speak, but who knows, the other party pressed it again and didn't answer.
Really, what a person
Today seems to have been particularly unsmooth all day, and everything is blocking my heart and adding to the chaos
Zhan Xingchuan felt a little angry inexplicably, and he was so angry that he crumpled the note in his hand, rolled down the car window, and threw it into the trash can on the side of the road.
At about the same time, Sister Li, who was sitting next to Zhan Ruijue, asked softly: "Rui Rui, where did you get the mobile phone, is it Rui Rui who gave it to my aunt and can play?"
The little guy had been holding a mobile phone all afternoon, and he didn't let go, as if he was studying something, looking at a string of familiar numbers suddenly lit up on the screen, Zhan Ruijue was frightened, and hurriedly pressed it without thinking.
"Hey, why don't you answer the phone, who called Rui Rui?"
Sister Li thought that Kong Miaomiao had bought a new gift for Zhan Ruijue, so she didn't have too many doubts about this mobile phone that suddenly appeared, but she was a little surprised that such a young child could skillfully operate the mobile phone, it seems that Rui Rui is really smart, but he just doesn't want to speak.
"Your mother came over for dinner today, you have to be well-behaved for a while, and it won't be long before she may have to move over, it's okay to move over, at least your dad lives here, if they move out, you want to see your dad, it's even more difficult"
Sister Li is a warm-hearted middle-aged elder sister, subconsciously nagging Zhan Ruijue, working in the Zhan family, with a lot of salary, little work, and the boss is not difficult, people in the same housekeeping company are very envious of her, saying that she has earned it. It's just that Zhou Zheng's child, who looks so beautiful, has been refusing to speak, seeing that he is three years old, and other people's children are all reciting ancient poems and learning to sing, she can't help but feel a little regretful.
Zhan Ruijue, who was bowing his head and playing with his mobile phone, trembled slightly, and still didn't say anything.
As soon as I heard that the child was almost lost, last night, Sister Li took the train overnight and rushed back from her hometown, also because she couldn't rest assured that Zhan Ruijue couldn't get rid of Zhan Ruijue. She has worked in the Zhan family for more than two years, and she knows very well that Zhan Xingchuan is not a person who can take care of children at all, even Kong Miaomiao is a second knife, as for Yu Youwei, it is even more impossible to count on.
While helping him tidy up the toys on the floor, Sister Li habitually talked to herself: "Rui Rui, listen to Auntie, you find an opportunity to call Mom and Dad to prove that we don't know how to speak, but we don't talk much." People say that people who don't talk much are expensive, and people like aunts who talk non-stop are cheap. Hey, you see that you have been refusing to speak, your mother doesn't like you anymore, every week just come over for a day, I can see that her boss is reluctant to say that her mother is not ugly, that is not necessarily, she is beautiful, and she must feel unhappy when she gives birth to a child who does not speak."
Zhan Ruijue was originally sitting on the floor, but when he heard this, he propped up his calves, stood up, and silently walked back to his room with his mobile phone.
Sister Li reacted, her face changed, she hurriedly dropped the toy, and trotted to catch up: "Oh, it's all my fault, Auntie's broken mouth and a child are to blame for what to do with these nonsense, blame me for Ruirui, don't be angry, Auntie will wash your fruit and eat it."
Zhan Ruijue had already walked into the bedroom, and when he saw the guilt on Sister Li's face, he hesitated, lowered his eyes, nodded his head slightly, and reached out to touch her fingers with his fingertips, indicating that he was not angry.
Sister Li hugged him sadly and sighed again and again.
By the time Zhan Xingchuan returned home, Zhan Ruijue was already sitting on the sofa, watching cartoons and eating fruit at the same time.
He heard the voice and knew it was his father back, so he slowly slid down from the couch and trotted to meet it.
When the big black grape-like eyes lit up when they saw the cake box in Zhan Xingchuan's hand, Zhan Ruijue cautiously stretched out his hand, poked the corner of the box, and then smiled.
He rarely laughs, but when he does, it makes people feel like their whole heart is about to melt.
Even Zhan Xingchuan rarely saw his son smiling at him, he was stunned by this smile, put down the cake, picked up Zhan Ruijue, lifted it high, and rode it on his neck.
Although Sister Li can usually take care of the children's food and clothing, small games like lifting heights, sitting on shoulders, and riding a big horse can only be completed by big men.
Here, the father and son are having fun in the living room, while Sister Li is preparing dinner in the kitchen. Because Yu Youwei comes to the house for dinner on this day of the week, the dinner is a little richer than usual, especially taking care of her taste.
Zhan Ruijue rode on Zhan Xingchuan's back, patted it with his hand, and motioned for him to climb faster.
He opened his mouth from time to time, but he didn't make any sound, ordinary children, at this time, they would definitely shout "drive" or something like that, but Zhan Ruijue didn't.
Zhan Xingchuan's hair was messy, and one of his shirt buttons was missing, he crawled back and forth on the floor in a bit of embarrassment, and finally he couldn't support it and fell to the ground, panting constantly: "Rui Rui, let Dad rest for a while, it's been several laps."
Zhan Ruijue slid off his back very obediently and did not ask to continue.
Sweat broke out on the faces of one big and one small, similar contours, similar eyebrows and eyes, at first glance, it looked like a normal version and a reduced version.
Zhan Xingchuan picked up his son's face, put his forehead against his forehead, and laughed.
Many times, he also felt incredible that he really had a son and a continuation of his life. This is his blood, his descendants, and the proudest existence in his life.
He knew that some people had chewed the root of their tongues behind their backs, saying that he was smart in Zhanxingchuan, but he gave birth to a stupid son, which was retribution. But he didn't believe that Rui Rui was a fool, he once took Zhan Ruijue to do a detailed examination, which proved that his IQ was not only no problem, but even higher than that of ordinary children, and there was absolutely no possibility of dementia.
"Rui Rui, I want you to be happy, and I don't force you to be outstanding, as long as you are healthy, safe, and do what you want to do."
After speaking, Zhan Xingchuan gently kissed Zhan Ruijue's face.
"Let's go, if you don't wash it, it stinks, if Rui Rui stinks, what should I do to sell stinky dog meat?"
He picked up Zhan Ruijue and deliberately threw it in his arms, saying funny things in his mouth, making the child giggle, and the father and son went upstairs together, took a bath, and changed clothes.
When the two of them walked downstairs cleanly, Zhan Xingchuan couldn't help frowning when he looked at the time.
Yu Youwei was late.
Sister Li has already prepared the stews and soups in advance, and as for a few stir-fried dishes, she has to wait for Yu Youwei to come and fry them freshly, so as not to be cold and unpalatable. At this moment, she also looked at the time and asked hesitantly: "Mr. Zhan, I'll fry it later."
Zhan Xingchuan picked up his mobile phone and called Yu Youwei.
I called two, but she didn't answer.
"Wait a minute, wait until she comes."
After speaking, Zhan Xingchuan turned his head to look at Zhan Ruijue beside him and touched his head.
It took another twenty minutes for Yu Youwei to call.
"Sorry, dear, I was in a meeting and my phone was left in the office. It's so late, you guys eat first, it's going to be more than eight o'clock when I rush over, it's very congested here, I'll go over tomorrow."
Yu Youwei had just finished the meeting, as soon as she walked into the office and picked up her mobile phone, she found that there were a lot of missed calls, so she hurriedly read them and replied to Zhan Xingchuan first.
"It's just a meeting, is it important to have a family dinner, I can come back early, are you busier than me?"
Zhan Xingchuan's patience was lost, he glanced at Zhan Ruijue, who was silently eating cake beside him, and shouted loudly.
"I'm sorry, I'm just trying to get the job done."
Yu Youwei knew that she was at a loss, so she couldn't help but lower her voice and apologize to Zhan Xingchuan in a good voice.
He felt that today was really a very unlucky day, from morning to now, holding it in his chest and unable to vent, Zhan Xingchuan immediately said angrily: "Don't forget the work, it is the project of the branch of the company I gave you is assigned by the head office, believe it or not, I will let you have nothing to do from tomorrow onwards"
Yu Youwei was stunned, her face suddenly sank, and a fierce light flashed in her eyes.
"Zhan Xingchuan, do you think that I am begging for food in your hands Although Xinhong Real Estate is still subordinate to the Zhan clan, everyone has always done their own thing, and I am the only legal person. If you don't like me, we can find a time to talk about it. ”
Her words made Zhan Xingchuan's anger rage: "For you, Xinhong is so important"
Yu Youwei pursed her lips: "Yes, compared to eating with a child who can't speak at all, Xinhong is much more important to me."
