71. Everything will begin eventually
Zhong Ling's illness is a heart disease, which comes from herself, no one can help her get rid of it, what Liang Ju and Mao Dong can do is to enlighten her as much as possible, so that she can get rid of it as soon as possible.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it's a new year.
During this year's Spring Festival, Mao Dong did not return to his hometown for the first time, but followed Liang Ju back to Liang's father and Liang's mother.
Since the last time Liang Ju's father Liang Zhifu was sick, Liang's father and Liang's mother almost treated Mao Dong as a future son-in-law.
Regarding the question of marriage, it is the question that Liang's mother secretly asked Liang Ju the most during the Spring Festival this year.
"He wants to wait until we're all settled down before we get married." Liang Ju always replied to his mother like this.
Liang's mother, He Mei, sighed softly while picking vegetables, "This child is too stressed, in fact, your father and I don't mean that you have to buy a house of a few hundred square meters, as long as you two live happily, we will be happy." ”
"This period of time is when his career is at the beginning, and there is no hurry to get married." Liang Ju said.
Liang's mother glanced at the living room, Mao Dong was sitting there drinking tea with Liang's father, Liang Ju turned around and said: "It's not easy to find a good man now, I'm afraid you will delay things a lot." ”
"Are you afraid that he will be abducted by someone else?" Liang Ju asked with a smile.
He Mei glanced at her daughter, "What nonsense." ”
"Don't worry, he won't be able to escape my Rulai God Palm in this life!" After saying that, Liang Ju looked back at Mao Dong with a smile, and met his smiling eyes.
The two of them were affectionately facing each other, both with smiles on their faces.
At the moment when zero o'clock struck, Mao Dongliang Ju sat at the dining table in the living room with his parents and a family of four, holding wine glasses harmoniously to celebrate the arrival of the New Year.
Outside the window, fireworks and firecrackers rumbled, and the hosts of the Spring Festival Gala on TV shouted in unison: "Happy New Year!" ”
This scene has become the most nostalgic moment in Liang Ju's life.
The old people say that this year is good, but what is not good is life.
Mao Dong was going back to his hometown to visit his relatives in the second year of junior high school, and Liang Ju originally planned to go back with him, but the company arranged for her to go back on duty in the fourth year of junior high school.
The day Mao Dong came back from his hometown was already the sixth day of the junior high school, and he and Liang Ju officially started their respective work on the seventh day of the junior high school.
Entering March, the weather in Qihai City is getting warmer and warmer, and on the weekend, Liang Ju and Shapi made an appointment to go to Zhong Ling's house to eat hot pot together, but Mao Dong did not get together because he had to work overtime.
Zhong Ling's personality has gradually become better since she came back from home during the Chinese New Year, and when Liang Ju and the others arrived, it happened that Ah Yuan was also there, and he opened the door.
Zhong Ling came out of the kitchen with an apron, and was very happy to see that it was Liang Ju, "You guys are here!" ”
Liang Ju and Sha Pei were changing shoes, and Sha Pei was still raising his eyebrows at Ah Yuan, smiling slyly.
Ah Yuan smiled and gave him a punch, afraid that Zhong Ling would see it.
Liang Ju smiled and handed over all the things he brought to Zhong Ling, "If you don't have anything, I'll buy it." ”
"There is no shortage, Ah Yuan also brought a lot of things when he came."
Zhong Ling took all the food to the kitchen, and when Liang Ju turned around, he saw Sha Pei and Ah Yuan coming in from the door.
"Where's my brother?" Ah Yuan asked Liang Ju.
Liang Ju took a bottle of drink and sat down on the sofa, "He can't work overtime today." ”
Shar Pei looked at Zhong Ling's living room and said, "My brother is now trying to earn money to buy a house, Orange, do you think you have to steal fun?" ”
"Why am I stealing fun, just just be happy with you?"
Ah Yuan stood there and wanted to interject a few words, but when he caught a glimpse of Zhong Ling coming out of the kitchen with fruit, he didn't say anything.
There were not enough shrimp slips and meatballs at home, so Liang Ju took Shapi to the supermarket downstairs to buy them.
The two of them walked around the small supermarket a few times, and Shapi suddenly asked Liang Ju, "Has the surname Bai been looking for you during this time?" ”
Liang Ju was holding a beer and pondering whether to buy it, and when he heard it, he was stunned: "The surname is Bai?" ”
"It's that Bais."
Liang Ju sighed and shook his head, "Why is he looking for me if he has nothing to do?" ”
Shar Pei hummed softly, "It's good that I didn't look for you." ”
Seeing that he seemed to have something on his mind, Liang Ju asked again: "Is he looking for you?" ”
Shapi glanced at Liang Ju a few times and nodded, "I'm worried that he will go to my brother." ”
"You said Mao Dong?" Liang Ju turned his head in surprise and asked, "What is he looking for him?" ”
"Don't you know, Bai Si's father passed away in the first month, and now, their family is fighting over the inheritance."
Liang Ju didn't speak for a long time in shock, Shapi glanced at her, sighed, took the beer and turned to check out.
***
Mao Dong and the customer came out of the restaurant after dinner, and went directly to the underground parking lot to pick up the car.
He was going to call Liang Ju and ask her how it was going, but as soon as he walked to the side of the car, he heard a car honking behind him.
In the empty underground parking lot, the sound of the car horn was very abrupt.
Bai Si got out of the car, and this time, he was alone.
Without an assistant or a cane, Bai Si, dressed in a light gray suit, walked towards Mao Dong, his eyes had a meaning of reunion after a long absence.
However, the smile on the corner of his mouth didn't look so gentle.
***
Shapi avoided Liang Ju's eyes, lowered his head, and asked in a low voice: "Orange, I said that if my brother wants to avenge Brother Maobei, will you agree?" ”
Liang Ju was holding a few bags of snacks and was thinking about which bag to eat first, but he didn't raise his head and replied directly: "Of course I agreed." ”
Shar Pei exhaled, and before his heart was completely put down, he heard Liang Ju continue: "As long as it will not implicate the danger of life and some illegal things, I agree." ”
Sha Pei was stunned for a few seconds, Liang Ju smiled and pushed him with his arm, "Your brother is not going to kill someone, is he?" ”
"How, how is it possible!"
"As long as you don't break the law, your brother wants to avenge his eldest brother, and I, as a family member, must support it."
Shar Pei laughed a few times, "I just wanted to test your feelings for my eldest brother." ”
Liang Ju immediately smiled, squinting at Sha Pei, who continued to laugh, "Teasing you, teasing you." ”
***
In the car where the light was not bright, Mao Dong sat in the driver's seat, and next to him was Bai Si.
Some of the materials in the file bag that Bai Si brought were scattered and fell on the bridge in front of the windshield, and the top one was a photo of a man. The man's facial features are very similar to Bai Si's, but his eyes have become sharper and more vicissitudes under the experience of the years.
Mao Dong stared at the photo that fell out with half-lowered eyes, the hands on his knees had already been tightly clenched into fists, if it weren't for him, his eldest brother Mao Bei would not have died tragically on the street that year, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have been reduced to a single relative.
Bai Si quietly observed Mao Dong's expression, he was not in such a hurry, he was just waiting for the answer he gave him.
Bai Si's eldest brother, Bai Ye, has returned to China from abroad and returned to Qihai City.
The sudden death of his father made the competition for the inheritance between Bai Si and Bai Ye more distinct, if the main obstacle of the eldest brother could not be eliminated in a limited time, and after the people in Bai Ye's hands began to enter the company one after another, then Bai Si would have no chance to turn over.
Now is the perfect time for Whites to use his means.
Bai Si said: "What I want is very simple, if you don't do it, I can find someone else." ”
The murderer who killed Mao Bei back then will be released ahead of schedule this year, which undoubtedly gives Mao Dong another burden.
"That person was in prison for my brother back then, and my brother won't let him go in for nothing." Bai Si lit a cigarette and turned his head to look at Mao Dong, "I heard that my brother is ready to arrange a place for him in the company, but he is just going to come out." ”
Mao Dong finally took his eyes off the photo, "What do you want me to do?" ”
Bai Si seemed to chuckle.
"Actually, you don't have to worry so much, you can not do it, I won't force you."
Mao Dong tilted his head and looked directly into the eyes full of conspiracy.
Bai Si smiled, and his facial features looked even more feminine.
He stretched the cigarette out of the car window and flicked it gently, "Two people, you choose one." ”
"I'll pick one, and you'll solve the rest?" Mao Dong asked Bai Si rhetorically.
Bai Stanstan laughed, "Let me guess, who do you hate more than the two?" ”
He tilted his head and squinted, and suddenly turned his head towards Mao Dong, "It's my brother, right?" ”
Mao Dong's indifferent expression made Bai Si dare not guarantee it. Mao Dong said: "Your brother hired someone to settle accounts with us for you back then, and you are one of them." ”
The smile on Bai Si's face stiffened suddenly. The residual cigarette in his hand was violently extinguished in his palm, and Bai Si threw the cigarette out of the window, and the anger in his eyes became deeper and deeper.
"He's doing it all for the old man! If it weren't for everyone to think that he was sincere to my younger brother, how could the old man pass on his position to him in the future! ”
As if he didn't want to say too much, Bai Si put his hand on the handlebar, turned back to Mao Dong and said, "You think about calling me, I hope it's not bad news." ”
Bai Si got out of Mao Dong's car and drove directly out of the parking lot, leaving Mao Dong behind, before he started the car.
Mao Dong's game ended early today, and he originally wanted to go to Zhong Ling's house to pick up Liang Ju, but now it seems that he may not be able to go.
If he didn't see Bai Si today, Mao Dong hoped to use his own efforts to give Liang Ju a happy future and complete the wedding of the two as much as possible.
It's a pity that he conceived it too early.
He took out a cigarette case that he hadn't smoked for a long time from the workbench in front of the co-pilot, took out a cigarette from it, and lit it.
White smoke swirled upwards, and the car was immediately filled with the smell of tobacco.
Mao Dong leaned his head on the driver's seat and closed his eyes.
Is it that he is too happy this time, or that he should not be able to escape this fate. From the first appearance of Bai Si was already destined to disrupt his existing one, he should have expected it rather than the passive situation he was in now.
Accustomed to the current life and the company of Liang Ju around him, he is reluctant to let go of all this, however, he will definitely not fail to avenge the revenge of his eldest brother.
It's too difficult, Mao Dong thought, this time the choice is really too difficult.
There was the sound of cars in the distance, several cars constantly driving into the parking lot, and cars driving out of the parking lot. I don't know how long I sat there, until the cigarette in my hand burned out and the ash burned my hand, Mao Dong slowly opened his eyes.
The black eyes were bloodshot, and the eyes were still cloudy.
Mao Dong threw the cigarette out of the car.
