4. Awakened doubts
Yi Huan was absent-minded, and it happened that Yi Gaofeng didn't care about the reception. The two siblings both left the party early.
When I returned home, I happened to meet Yi Deshun and Hu Xianli who had just returned from socializing. Hu Xianli asked with concern, "Why did you come back so early?" Didn't meet anyone who fits your eyes? ”
"What is the fate of the eyes, but the fate of the evil is to meet one." Yi Gaofeng said angrily.
Yi Huanxin glared at Yi Gaofeng, Yi Gaofeng didn't care, shrugged his shoulders and said to Yi Deshun, "Dad, I think you're about to marry your daughter-in-law." I saw Yi Huanyan at Zhou Min's student day meeting today, but you didn't see the enthusiasm of the two of them. ”
"Huan Yan and Zhou Minxue are in love?" Yi Deshun asked, "Zhou Min can't learn, it's too sharp to show a girl." I'll have to give him a call and disperse early, I don't agree. ”
"Dad." Yi Huan smiled heartily, but there was a hint of inquiry hidden in his eyes, "When I was joking to let Gao Feng chase Minxue, you didn't object." ”
"Huanyan is not the same as Gao Feng." Yi Deshun said.
"What's different, it's not all your son. It's your attitude that makes them brothers not work together. Hu Xianli said, "Huanxin, seeing why your brother didn't let him come home, your father and I both thought about him." Even if he doesn't give you a good look outside, you have to endure it, and he has a misunderstanding about me. ”
Yi Huanxin said, "Dad's birthday will come back." ”
"When I think of him alone outside for so many years, I feel uncomfortable." Hu Xianli pretended to be uncomfortable and wiped her tears.
"How can he be lonely outside, I don't think he can be so chic when he is alone." Yi Gaofeng said. met Yi Huanyan at a high-end wine party, and he was the one who was most impacted.
Yi Deshun ignored their mother and son, made a phone call to Yi Huanyan, and hung up the phone in less than a minute.
Hu Xianli said with concern, "Huan Yan is really in love, that's a good thing, let him take his girlfriend home for dinner." "How's that going to work? Let that little cub have a capable father-in-law to fight for the family property? "Minxue is a few years older than Huanyan, if they are really in love, you can't be allowed, female junior, hug the gold brick."
"What kind of love are you talking about?" Yi Deshun said, "Huan Yan is going to attend the senior sister's birthday party. It just so happened that you ran into it. ”
"Huan Yan's college in New York?" Yi Huan asked. Minxue Zhou graduated from New York University with a master's degree in communication.
"The one on the face seems to be S big." Yi Deshun said, "He is a person who is inseparable from his homeland, and he will not go to school abroad." ”
"Then how did he get a senior sister and brother with Zhou Min?" Yi Fengfeng was puzzled. Forgive him for really not knowing, since Hu Xianli deliberately ignored him for more than ten years, Yi Huanyan didn't say it, others didn't ask, no one knew what life he was living outside.
"A middle school is from Runen School." Yi Deshun said.
"Runen School?" Yi Huanxin exclaimed, "That's not the school that Gao Feng didn't get into?" ”
"What are I doing?" Yi Gaofeng said unhappily, "You don't even have the qualifications for the exam." ”
Yi Huanxin pursed her lips, this is her pain point, she is one year older than Yi Huanyan, and the imprint of the son of the outer chamber on her body is deeper. Although Yi Gaofeng was born, his father had not yet divorced, but at that time he was already separated from Yi Huanyan's mother, and his father took his mother into the house in order to be angry with her, and his mother was born in the Yi family's house.
"You didn't want to let you speak and get Gao Feng in, but Huanyan was willing?" Hu Xianli complained, "Two sons, you have to have a bowl of water." Huanyan's level, can he get into it by himself? ”
Yi Deshun glanced at her, "Huan Yan was admitted by herself, I didn't interfere." I've never been concerned about this son, and I don't need it. Or if the dies, he says he's going out to live, and I'll agree. How old was he then, thirteen or fourteen? ”
Hu Xianli's face sank, "Are you blaming me for not taking care of him?" I want to take care of him, he has to give me a chance, as soon as I enter the door, he goes out with the fucking jewelry box, who is this for? You said that I love to buy jewelry, and I was angry with your good son at that time! It's been a shadow for the rest of my life. ”
"Mom, where are you talking about it again?" Yi Huan hurriedly explained, "Huan Yan has a lonely temperament, and it doesn't mean that his grades are not good." ”
"Dad, what has Huan Yan been doing lately? Thinking that he has also graduated for several years, why didn't he come to work in the company? Yi Huanxin said, and Hu Xianli hurriedly glared at him.
"I don't know." Yi Deshun nodded his knee and said, "He was born with a good life, he has to eat when he lies down, whatever he wants." ”
"Dad, wasn't I born with a good life?" Yi Gaofeng said unconvinced, "Then why are you still strict with me?" ”
"Silly boy, it's strictly good for you." Hu Xianli smiled and said that she spoiled her son, but she was very happy that her son was beaten by Yi Deshun on business, and she felt that Yi Deshun had expectations for her son. Compared with the free-range Yi Huanyan, there is more psychological superiority.
"You were also born with a good life." Yi Deshun said with a smile, getting up and preparing to go upstairs, "But compared to him, you are still a little worse." ”
Hu Xianli was about to have a seizure when she heard this, Yi Huan hurriedly grabbed her, and sent Yi Deshun upstairs to rest with a smile.
When he went downstairs again, Yi Gaofeng was no longer there, and Hu Xianli was sitting on the sofa sulking.
"Where's the peak?" Yi Huanxin went to the bar and got a bottle of wine and two glasses.
"He was called out for a drink by his friends." Hu Xianli said that when Yi Huanxin sat down, she would be in trouble.
"What's the matter with you." Hu Yali said to Yi Huanxin reproachfully, "Just forget it when you see that little cub, it's okay to tell me in private, why do you have to ask in front of your father." ”
"Now that your father is old, and that little cub has grown up, it is even more difficult for them to get acquainted with father and son." Hu Xianli said, "You still let him come to work in the company?" What if your dad wants him to come to the company? ”
"Mom, you still don't understand? Dad won't let him go to work. Yi Huanxin poured a glass of wine and played with it in his hand, "He's going to let it go." ”
"Either way, it's certainly not wrong to isolate them." Hu Xianli said that she could still see that her daughter was in a bad mood, "Did you encounter other unhappy things at the drinking party today?" ”
Yi Huanxin shook his head, raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "I was so arrogant at that time, I wanted to get the first place in my grades, and I wanted to go to the best school, Runen Public School." It was the first time she had faced the cruelty of life to her, and the first time she knew the impact of having a child out of wedlock on her.
"Runen is a good school, but you and Gao Feng's international school are also very good." Hu Xianli said, "Your classmates are either rich or expensive. ”
Runen Public School, named after the founding head of the country, is the first middle school in Huaguo to introduce Western teaching models, and it has been more than 100 years, and the universities in Huaguo are ranked the best in the world and the bottom 100, but Runen Middle School ranks third among the world's middle schools, which is evident from its excellence.
This secondary school, which did not take nobility and wealth as a threshold, was destined to serve the privileged class from the time it was founded.
Runen Public School enrolls 500 students every year, and each student has to go through strict screening, and the students themselves must develop morally, intellectually, physically, and aesthetically, as well as their families. Because of the position of Runen's first admissions office, an unwritten rule was left in the family review, and illegitimate children and children born out of wedlock could not be enrolled.
It's not that no one protested, the first dean sneered, "You are innocent, but you were born with disgrace, instead of accusing me of injustice, it is better to go back and complain that your parents can't control it." There are also things such as "It is the teacher's responsibility to teach without class, I only recruit students, not teach." Words like this have been passed down from generation to generation, and one term after another has adhered to this unspoken rule.
"That's different." Yi Huanxin said, "What identity do you see Zhou Minxue, and then think about how many alumni like Zhou Minxue are there?" This is Yi Huanyan's circle of friends. ”
"So what does it matter? You and Gao Feng are now working in the group, and that little cub has not touched a single side, he is learning to draw and not finance. Hu Xianli said, "I haven't taken an inheritance course for a day, and even if he has connections, he doesn't know how to use it." ”
Yi Huanxin felt tired, even if he didn't know how to use connections, but using connections to make things bad was just a matter of words. She didn't want to explain this to Hu Xianli again, so she only asked, "Mom, other people's wives have their husband's shares, does Dad give it to you?" ”
"Your dad didn't restrict me from using money." Hu Xianli said, "The house, the car, and the jewelry are also bought if I like it." I didn't ask him about that. ”
"It's all small money, dead money. Maybe it's just a one-year dividend of the shares. Yi Huanxin said, "Shares are fundamental." Many upper-class families are accustomed to giving shares to their wives and children. ”
Hu Xianli looked at her and said, "Don't worry, I will be ready for your dowry, and there is nothing missing for you, so you will assist your brother to run the company well." ”
Yi Huanxin felt tired, felt that the chicken and the duck were talking, she was worried about the interests of their mother and son, but her mother thought that she wanted shares in the company, and she wanted to ask Yi Huanyan's mother if she had her father's shares? But that was the mother's explosion button, as soon as she touched it, she didn't want to make any more noise at night, so she simply went upstairs in frustration.
Yi Huanyan has been silent since he was a child, Yi Huanxin's deepest impression of him is that he sat quietly next to him when his parents quarreled, when her mother was also present with her hugging, crying and pretending to be pitiful and miserable, and Yi Huanyan had no sadness or joy, as if she was out of the matter.
Yi Huanyan's mother died, and her mother also got the title of Mrs. Yi as she wished, although they had lived in the Yi family for several years at that time, her mother still insisted on taking them out first, and then entering the house openly.
Yi Huanyan packed her luggage and waited for them at home, said a happy newlywed to her father and left, never came back to live, met twice a year, Yi Deshun had a birthday, and once during the New Year.
No matter how her mother flattered or demonstrated, no matter how Gao Feng provoked or bullied, he was polite and detached, like a stranger.
It's the same with Dad.
Gao Feng was convinced of the victory that her mother said, but she became more and more suspicious, to Yi Huanyan, did they really win?
