CHAPTER IX
The old man actually didn't have a few dealings with Yunxi, and according to the most practical situation, he only spent the longest time with her on that afternoon when he recalled "ten years", but this still didn't hinder his ability to recognize people.
Even if she is only an eighteen-year-old girl, even if she is a daughter who grew up with a golden spoon in her mouth, this girl has a firm belief and a calm feeling, which few people can match. At least, in his opinion, he had never seen any other eighteen-year-old child reach her level.
Yes, he looks at other peers, but he is still a child, but this Leng Yunxi has always given him the feeling of calm and peace.
Seeing that her quiet eyes were empty at the moment, he smiled and held her hand: "Don't refuse my kindness." ”
Seeing that she still didn't say anything, his three nephews endured the sadness all over their bodies, cheered up, and whispered to her: "We are all engaged in academic careers, and no one has the talent to do business, if Gu Yuxuan deals with us, if something happens, we will blame ourselves for the rest of our lives." Please also ask Miss Leng to accept our uncle's heart. ”
Yunxi glanced at the three of them in surprise, under normal circumstances, the old man leaves the most valuable things for his favorite juniors, and the people of the same generation will be unwilling, but the expressions of the three people in front of him are sincere, their eyes are clear, and they don't look like they are acting at all.
At this time, a pair of hands suddenly put her on her shoulders, and Yunxi fell into a warm embrace, without a trace of ambiguity, nor a trace of pretending to be close, but it just came naturally, like the care between relatives.
She heard Grantham whisper above her head, "Don't worry, I'll run it with you." ”
She suddenly felt a little lighter on her shoulders.
Indeed, Gu Yuxuan didn't just give her a single person.
Behind this will, the old man actually hopes to rely on his old man's affection for him and take care of his relatives more after his death.
Coupled with Grantham's background, even if Gu Yuxuan can't be famous, it won't be easy for anyone who wants to move it lightly.
She approached the old man, slowly leaned down, and smiled lightly at him, like a prosperous and gorgeous, with shallow ripples in her eyes: "I heard grandpa say that he and you were old friends back then, and they haven't seen each other for many years, and they haven't had a chance." If you want, I would like to invite my grandfather to come over and meet you, just as an old friend to continue the relationship, laugh and talk about the past, and leave a memory. ”
A bright light flashed in the old man's eyes, and he squinted contentedly and nodded slightly, "Good, good." ”
With her sentence, the Leng family must be the group of close relatives who protect him in the future. The last of his worries were finally let go.
The people in the ward more or less knew what kind of character the grandfather in Yunxi's mouth was, but they didn't expect that she was really as favored as rumored, and she was able to express her attitude directly for Old Man Leng like this, and she didn't even make a phone call to ask.
Perhaps, it is precisely because of this temperament that my uncle is so bold to give her the hard work of his life.
The three middle-aged men glanced at each other, and the last complicated feelings in their hearts vanished.
"I'll pick up grandpa, you lie down and rest first, don't worry, grandpa will come over in an hour." Looking at the attitude of the hospital, the old man's condition could not be delayed, she just wanted to do her best to pick up her grandfather so that she could understand his last wish, so as soon as she finished speaking, she took the car keys and went out.
Leng thought about it, but didn't follow after all, but just stepped away from Grantham, leaving room for the old man and his relatives to be alone.
This may be their last precious moment.
Yunxi got into the sports car and drove towards the old mansion in a hurry, and when he reached the door, it took seventeen minutes, which was nearly twice as fast as usual.
The guards around the entire villa area knew her as a person, and when they saw her, they saluted respectfully, gave way and passed all the way.
When Yunxi rushed into the living room in a gust of style, he was bowing his head to the old man and drinking tea, and as soon as the words came to his mouth, Leng Buding saw that there was still a person sitting opposite the old man, and suddenly the anxious anxiety in his heart stopped in mid-air.
After taking two deep breaths, he finally eased up, and the whole person calmed down.
I just wanted to say hello, but I saw my grandfather raise his head and look straight at the old man on the sofa opposite.
Since the old man retired, although he has been cultivating himself, in the end, the blood of the military background is there, and ordinary people can't look directly at him, and because of this, his few words have almost become the best portrayal of his eccentric character in the eyes of many high-level officials. She had stayed by the old man's side for so long, but she had never seen him look so guilty.
This is a pair of extremely sharp and spicy eyes, but at this moment, the shame and sadness revealed in them can't be concealed at all.
"Old Joe, I've always wanted to come to apologize, but after so many years, you have lived abroad, and I don't dare to come to the door lightly." It was obviously an extremely cold tea fragrance, and the aftertaste was wafting, but at this moment, Yunxi actually sensed the bitterness in the heart of her iron-blooded general.
She subconsciously turned her head to look at the man, and with just one glance, she felt a bad breath coming over her face.
This is an old man with the same gray hair, and unlike the dying old man in the hospital, he has the same kind of breath as her grandfather.
This is a kind of calmness and indifference that has been tempered thousands of times, high above him, and ever-changing, as if everything is above his palm.
At a glance, she knew that this old man, who was called "Old Joe" by her grandfather, had been in a high position for a long time after all.
It's just that, in her impression, it seems that there is no such conspicuous old friend in the family.
Qiao Lao's eyes were as sharp as knives, looking at the bitter cold pile beard on his face, he didn't even move half a minute, he gently held the teacup in his right hand, and held it slightly with his left hand, and took a sip of tea, his expression was calm, as if he hadn't heard anyone else talk.
"When you go back to Beijing this time, are you leaving?" The old man Leng didn't look half unhappy, picked up the teapot, and refilled some tea for him.
Qiao Lao glanced at him, and a lukewarm smile appeared on his lips: "If you don't leave, you will stay in the country and not go anywhere." ”
"Okay, good ......." When Old Man Leng heard his words, he was a little excited, "I always thought that you couldn't get out of that incident back then, but now that you are willing to come back, as long as you don't dislike it, I will go to play chess with you at any time." ”
"When I'm older, sometimes I'm lonely." Qiao Lao's eyes stared straight at Leng Zhuan Beard, as if he was studying something interesting, for a long time, but suddenly sneered: "However, no matter how old and confused I am, I will not be idle and come to you!" ”
Qiao Lao's voice has always been very weak, but I don't know if it is Yunxi's own subconscious subjective assumption, she always feels that there is something else hidden in his words.
"That incident was ......." As if to verify her inner thoughts, the old man, who had always been calm and calm, stood up suddenly, and his tone became anxious, "You should know that incident was an accident......
Before he finished speaking, there was a "bang", and the teacup smashed to the ground and shattered!
Qiao Lao sat on the sofa and didn't move, but the look in his eyes was a cold knife, and he cut his face numbly with a knife.
The old man was about to say something, but he suddenly turned around and looked at Yunxi, who was stunned in place: "I think this is your family's three thousand gold." ”
Yunxi only felt that there was a gust of wind in front of him, and he was shocked by such a look that he lost his former calmness, and was slightly stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he only heard Qiao Lao say flatly: "Sure enough, he looks extraordinary." ”
Only then did the old man find out about her cunzài, and the unfinished words that were hanging on his lips swallowed back again, eased his expression, beckoned to her, and said softly: "Yunxi, this is grandpa's comrade-in-arms back then, from a company, you have to be called 'Grandpa Qiao'." ”
Yunxi meekly shouted "Grandpa Qiao", and the other party just nodded politely, but for some reason, she always felt that this Qiao Lao's eyes were cold when he looked at her, but there was always something unpredictable hidden behind her.
With her understanding of her own old man, the person who can make him talk with him so good-tempered will never be small, not to mention, with the evil spirit on this old gentleman's body, I am afraid that the military rank must be no worse than the old man, but she is not paying attention to this aspect now, she lowered her head, leaned on her grandfather's side, and said her intention at once: "Grandpa, Gu Yuxuan's boss can't survive today, you and I will go to see him for the last time." ”
The old man looked at the broken teacup on the ground and was slightly distracted, as if he didn't react at once, and asked in a low voice: "What?" ”
"The old gentleman is in the emergency ward, waiting to see you for the last time." Yunxi closed his eyes and repeated the words again. She knew that the old man was affectionate, otherwise she would not have agreed to take over Gu Yuxuan's affairs in the first place. It's just that I always thought that with their age, if it wasn't for any accident, they would have died very early, but they didn't think that their companions would disappear in a blink of an eye.
He glanced back at Qiao Lao, there seemed to be unfinished things to say in his eyes, but he didn't know how to say this induration that had been buried in his heart for many years.
After a long time, he sighed softly and said to Qiao Lao: "I'll go to the hospital first, and then visit next time." Old Joe, after so many years, if you can, you can let it go. ”
Qiao Lao didn't seem to hear him speak, his eyes were still on Yunxi's face, as if he had found something interesting, and his eyes gradually became a little hotter.
"You just take care of yourself, how am I going to live, can you still interfere?" When Yunxi looked at him, he suddenly looked at Old Man Leng with an impatient look, and then got up and took the lead in leaving the old mansion.
Yunxi had never seen anyone put on a show like this in front of the old man Leng, but in the end, he was worried about the old man in the hospital, and he was afraid that he would not be able to catch the last face, so he hurriedly pulled the old man out of the door.
After getting into the car, fastening their seat belts, the car sped up like an arrow off the string, and when they trotted all the way to the ward, they felt that the whole house was like an ice cave, there was no sound, and the silence was terrifying.
Yunxi's heartbeat seemed to stop for almost a moment.
No, it's less than an hour, how is it possible, so soon......
She stiffened her grip on the doorknob, her face pale, and she almost trembled.
The old man made a slight effort as she grabbed the handrail, and the door opened .......
The group of people around turned to look at them one by one, there was no expression on their faces at first, and gradually, their muscles loosened a little, and they all seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
But no one spoke, but silently stepped aside and gave up his seat.
Yunxi saw that the old man was so tired that he didn't even open his eyes, if it weren't for the occasional slight tremor in his eyelashes, she almost thought that he had gone like this.
"Xiuyan," Old Man Leng called out his words, and the old man reacted. His eyes opened with difficulty, and he met the eyes that were familiar to him when he was young, and slowly, a smile appeared.
"Lao Leng, I haven't seen you for so many years, you are still the same." Since his wife passed away, he has not heard the word "Xiuyan" for many years, it seems that it was many years ago, that youthful day, when he was young and frivolous, his friends around him would call him so gently.
How many years have passed. Now, when I hear this name, it is a little strange and distant.
He wanted to sit up, but his body was completely disobedient, so he could only sleep on the bed, trying his best to smile calmly at the cold pile: "It's hard to remember that it's been so long." ”
Old man Leng was surprised by his various tubes, the whole person seemed to have lost a little flesh, such a person, but he was a famous talent in their class at the beginning, and now, when they meet again, it is such a scene, he walked to the hospital bed at once, and held his hand: "I have always remembered you, no one in the original classmates will forget you, Xiuyan, you are the most talented among us, and you have always been." ”
"It's just a sour show." The old man smiled and waved his hand: "I have nothing I can't let go, so don't be sad for me." She has been waiting for me under the tree for so many years, and I have always wanted to accompany her early, but since I promised her that she would not beg for death, I had to keep my promise. Now, even if I see her like this, I won't be talked about by her. ”
After speaking, his eyes gradually revealed a little satisfaction: "Leng Zhu, I'm very happy that you can come." ”
He almost used the last strength of his body to hold Old Man Leng's hand.
It's a pity that he has reached the strength of life, and there is not much strength left: "I like your granddaughter very much, leave her the most precious thing in my life, not only for me, but also for my wife, I hope you understand......"
Before he could say what he said next, Old Man Leng had already shook his head and signaled that there was no need to say anything: "I understand, don't worry, your Gu Yuxuan will definitely help you take good care of it." ”
