Chapter 196: This Crisis
Shao Mingyang suddenly had a gleam of joy in his eyes, he leaned towards the door a little lazily, and said softly, "Looking for me for something?" β
"Yes." Lan Xingye nodded, "I have already told Chengru, I will look for a job in the next few days, and I will also look for a house in the near future, and when everything is arranged, I will discuss Chengru's affairs with you." I'll move back to Sisi tomorrow and contact you if there's anything I do. β
She whispered, so orderly, this was just to make an announcement, she had already made arrangements.
Shao Mingyang was a little displeased again, his voice was a little lower, "You're here to inform me?" β
And instead of giving an order, you need to be notified? Lan Xingye replied, "Just say goodbye." β
"If you don't live with him, will Chengru agree?" Such a clingy child, would he even be willing?
"He agreed."
"Then why don't you ask me, do I agree?" He said suddenly, and Lan Xingye frowned, "You don't need to agree." β
Shao Mingyang stared at her, and he chuckled, "Heh, that's right, it's true that you don't need my consent, and I'm not who you." β
seemed to be calm words, but because of the last sentence, it suddenly became inexplicably complaining. Even the air around them was the slightest bit strange.
Suddenly, he added, "Sue me for your new mobile phone number so I can contact you." β
Lan Xingye thought about it, so he could only report her new number, Shao Mingyang silently memorized it, and said with a smile, "Okay, it's already in my mind, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life." β
For a moment, it was as if he had gone back in time, and he had said such things before.
There is a casual promise about the number that will never forget jì for the rest of your life.
But where is there a lifetime? That's just a self-righteous joke.
Lan Xingye didn't take it seriously, so she just smiled.
"What? You don't believe it? Shao Mingyang noticed her disbelief, but suddenly, he reported a string of numbers.
That string of numbers, exactly the same, turned out to be the same number five years ago.
"I still remember your previous mobile phone number." Shao Mingyang said in a low voice.
However, Blue Star Night was at a loss. After so many years, how can he still remember. Thinking about it, he once memorized thousands of numbers after the decimal point of "Ο" in the Olympiad competition, and a few numbers are nothing.
Lan Xingye was indifferent, "I've forgotten, I don't remember." β
"Yes." Shao Mingyang sighed lightly, and looked at her with a deep gaze.
The atmosphere became more and more weird, and with an unclear connection, Lan Xingye stretched out his hand and handed him the glass of water, "Give you water." β
"I'm afraid I'm thirsty, so bring me water?" Shao Mingyang didn't take it immediately, but asked with a smile.
Lan Xingye said, "It's Chengru, he poured the water, let me wait for you to give it to you when you come back." β
It turned out that his son had prepared it for him.
Shao Mingyang's heart was also warm, so he stretched out his hand to take it. But in an instant, his hand also held her hand. Lan Xingye was stunned and was about to break away, but he refused to let go.
He leaned down at her, met her eyes, and suddenly reported a string of mobile phone numbers.
"It's mine, it's just a new number, it's not the same five years ago." He said softly, and made another promise, "But in the future, it will not change, and it will remain the same for a lifetime." β
"Will you remember?" He asked in a deep voice, making the bond even more confusing.
Lan Xingye was in a trance for a moment, and his eyes were fixed again and became clear, "My memory has never been good. β
"Yes, I'll send you a message in a moment, you can save it." He still held her hand, and ordered, "I want you to promise me that in this life, you will not delete this number." β
Lan Xingye was annoyed, why did she want to guarantee it?
"After all, Chengru is our child, and we have to keep in touch, don't we?" He is high-sounding.
Blue Starry Night was helpless, she just wanted to withdraw her hand quickly and leave, "I know." β
"Not that." There was a hint of childishness in his stubbornness at this moment.
Lan Xingye pursed her lips, but he persevered to the end, she had to grit her teeth and promise, "I promise." β
Finally got her response, Shao Mingyang took the water glass, let go of her hand, Lan Xingye immediately turned around, turned around and went back to his room.
Shao Mingyang looked at her departing figure, and he picked up the water cup and took a sip of water.
**************************
The first thing Chengru did when he woke up was to ask Lan Xingye, "Mom, did Dad drink water yesterday?" β
"Drink it, when Dad came back, Mom brought the water to him to drink."
Chengru was very happy at the moment, got up early, washed up and went down to have breakfast. Shao Mingyang was already sitting at the dining table, and when Chengru saw him, he walked over and sat down on his chair.
The little one glanced at him and greeted, "Good morning!" β
"Early." Shao Mingyang also replied.
Chengru looked at him and stopped talking.
Shao Mingyang was reading the newspaper, he was reading silently, and suddenly said, "Last night, I drank that glass of water." β
"Is it good?" He immediately looked up and asked excitedly.
In fact, it is just a glass of pure water, without any taste, where is the difference between good and bad. However, Shao Mingyang caught a glimpse of his son's expectant gaze, but he seemed to have tasted a different taste in that glass of water, which was an inscrutable sweetness.
"Yes!" He nodded.
"Then I'll get you water every day, okay?"
Every day thereafter.
That's a good idea.
Shao Mingyang smiled, "Okay." β
"What are you drinking?" The little one was curious about the strange aroma of the liquid.
"Coffee."
"Can I drink it?"
"No, you can't."
"Why?"
"Because only adults can drink it."
"And when will I become an adult?"
The two fathers and sons chatted in the dining room, and Lan Xingye went into the kitchen to serve porridge. Because she heard their voices, she looked at it, and it was such a happy scene.
When breakfast was about to end, Shao Mingyang said something, "I have already found a school for Chengru temporarily, which is near the villa area, not far from here, so let Sister Li send him to school." β
"Can I go to school?" Chengru's eyes lit up, and the little guy was about to be suffocated.
Shao Mingyang responded, "Yes, you can go to school." β
"Chengcheng, I went to a new school, I can't ......" Blue Star Night is about to admonish.
"Don't quarrel with children, listen to the teacher, Mom, I know that." Chengru interrupted her, like a little adult.
Lan Xingye was stunned, but Shao Mingyang smiled, "Hehe." β
Lan Xingye was embarrassed for a while, and Chengru laughed at Mimi, "Mom says this every time." β
Shao Mingyang nodded clearly, and the two had a tacit understanding.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Sister Li shouted beside her, "Chengcheng, is Grandma Li taking you to school?" β
Chengru hurriedly wiped his mouth and got down from the chair, "Okay! β
"Sister Li, I'm sorry for you." Lan Xingye shouted softly, Sister Li had already held Chengru's hand, "Where, it's not troublesome at all." β
"Chengcheng, go and go to school."
"Yes." Chengru nodded obediently, and was about to leave with Sister Li, but when he thought of something, he suddenly shook off Sister Li's hand and ran in front of Lan Xingye.
"Mom, will you call me?"
"Yes, Mom will call Chengcheng at night."
"And when are you going to come to see me again?"
"How are you doing on the weekend?"
Chengru hesitated for a long time before he said, "Well, if my mother lies, I'll be really angry." β
"Mom won't lie to Chengcheng." Lan Xingye promised softly, caressing his son's little head.
Chengru left with peace of mind, and reluctantly shook his little hand, "Mom bye-bye." β
"Bye-bye." Blue Starry Night also waved his hand.
Chengru didn't forget about the other person, turned his head to look at him, and waved his hand, "Bye." β
Shao Mingyang bowed his head in silence, "En." β
As soon as Chengru left, Lan Xingye didn't plan to stay, and said softly, "Thank you for your hospitality in the past two days, then I'll leave too." β
"That's right, let's go together, I'll give you a ride." He said softly, putting down the newspaper as well.
"No, I'll just take a taxi myself." Lan Xingye replied.
Her refusal again made Shao Mingyang frown dissatisfied, and he said a little angrily, "Lan Xingye, at least I am also your son's father, is it necessary for you to refuse my kindness again and again?" β
Lan Xingye slowly stood up, and she said softly, "You're just my son's father. β
Before she could finish speaking, she had already walked out of the restaurant.
In the whole table, only Shao Mingyang was left. The coffee in his hand suddenly cooled down and lost its taste. After a while, he got up after he finished drinking.
Shao Mingyang hurriedly drove out of the villa area, but drove along the road, but did not see her again.
She didn't know where she was going for a long time.
***********************
That night, Blue Star Night didn't come back.
After getting off work, Shao Mingyang came back early, and Sister Li also picked up Chengru back. Without the dining table of the Blue Starry Night, it is actually the same as before, but there is no sound on the dining table, and the silence of the past is restored. Chengru saw that Lan Xing was not there, and he didn't speak anymore, like a little gentleman, he ate quietly there.
After dinner, the little one consciously ran to the second floor.
Shao Mingyang was watching the financial news, and suddenly someone's mobile phone rang. Sister Li hurriedly picked it up, and she replied intermittently, "Oh, it's Miss...... It's good for Chengru to go to school today...... The teacher also said that he was very well-behaved...... In, the city is like it...... He's upstairs...... I asked him to listen to the phone......"
Sister Li didn't hang up and hurriedly ran up.
Shao Mingyang could only watch Sister Li send her mobile phone up, and then watched Sister Li go downstairs and continue into the kitchen.
Her phone.
Shao Mingyang frowned slightly, he actually called Sister Li, but he didn't call him?
He thought a little depressed, unconsciously stood up, and then went upstairs as well. In that large room, Chengru was a small person sitting on the carpet, talking happily to Blue Star.
Shao Mingyang walked in quietly and sat down on the sofa.
Chengru also saw him, but he didn't have time to pay attention to him, he was still chatting with Lan Xingye, "Mom, I eat wontons at school today, and I like to eat wontons very much...... But I still like my mother's wontons the most......"
Shao Mingyang just sat on the side, listening to the mother and son chatting. A phone call took half an hour. Half an hour later, it seemed that he was about to hang up, Chengru was very reluctant, and the villain admonished, "Mom, you also have to eat and sleep well, and be obedient." β
Finally, in Chengru's smile, the phone hung up.
Shao Mingyang didn't say a word in the end, and it was over.
When he hung up the phone, Chengru raised his head and looked at him.
Shao Mingyang was a little reluctant, and asked in a low voice, "Is the fight over?" β
"Yes! It's my mom calling! Chengru said with a smile, very satisfied in his heart.
"What did you say?" Shao Mingyang asked again.
Cheng Ruyi said, "Mom asked me how the new school was, if the teacher was good, if I played with the children, and asked me what I ate......" The little guy spoke very slippery, and the childish voice said for a while, and then made a closing remark at the end, "It's gone!" β
Nope.
That's it.
Shao Mingyang sighed, looking at Chengru, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and his voice became deeper and lower, "Your mother, she ...... Didn't mention me? β
Chengru replied, "Yes! β
"What did she say?"
"Mom said I want to listen to you!" Chengru immediately answered.
"What else?"
"Nope." Chengru blinked with big eyes.
There was a trace of chagrin in Shao Mingyang's eyes, and it was really just that.
Chengru was still holding his mobile phone, as if he felt the warmth of his mother, and he said with a smile, "Mom said, call me tomorrow." β
"She's so nice to you." That breath was so sour.
"Mom isn't here today, I miss her so much." Chengru expresses her longing for her mother, direct and hot and innocent.
Suddenly, he looked at him with clear eyes and asked, "Do you miss your mother?" β
Shao Mingyang was stunned for a while, he didn't know how to answer. But when I met those eyes, they were familiar in my memory, as if I had seen her. There are unknown thoughts flowing that have been precipitated, and his eyes must be.
The voice grew softer, and he whispered, "Well, I miss her too." β
In the next few days, Lan Xingye called Sister Li on time every night, and then transferred the mobile phone to Chengru. When the mother and son talk on the phone, they always have to talk for half an hour before they hang up. Sometimes in the room, sometimes in the living room, sometimes in the back garden.
It's just that every time it's the same beginning, the same end.
Shao Mingyang listened quietly on the side, his eyes were fixed on Chengru, and he could only vaguely hear what they were talking about from his voice. In fact, those are the ones that come and go, Lan Xingye asked Chengru carefully what he had done that day, and Chengru replied one by one, and he knew everything.
And when it came to the end, Shao Mingyang couldn't wait, but every time his hope was disappointed.
Because there has never been a time when I heard a sentence like "Mom asked you to listen to the phone" from Chengru's mouth.
Shao Mingyang and Chengru seem to be silent. Most of the time, Shao Mingyang accompanies him, Chengru plays on the side, and sometimes he is with his son. Chengru passively accepted it, but it was no longer as talkative, laughing, and noisy as before.
In addition to that glass of water, every day after Shao Mingyang came back, Chengru would always bring it to him.
Even on social days, they would put it next to his bedside and ask him if he had drunk it the next day.
That night, Shao Mingyang had another entertainment and did not return.
Lan Xingye called Chengru, but Chengru held his mouth and was a little sullen. Lan Xingye heard her son's displeasure, and she asked softly, "Chengcheng, what's wrong?" Did you quarrel with the children at school, so you were unhappy? β
"Nope." Chengru shook his head in denial.
"Then how can you not be happy? Sue sΓΉ mother, mom will help you think about it, okay? Blue Star Night persuaded over there.
Chengru was bored for a long time before he spoke, "Mom, I don't think Dad likes me." β
"How could Chengcheng say that?" Blue Star Night was surprised.
"Because my dad doesn't ask me what I did and what I ate at school, or whether I'm happy or not." My mother and Grandma Li would ask me, and my sister would ask me. β
Lan Xingye understood at the moment, and she whispered on the other end, "No, Dad must have asked Grandma Li, he already knew that Chengcheng was very well-behaved and obedient at school." β
"Then why didn't he just ask me?" Cheng Ru asked again.
This made Lan Xingye embarrassed, and after thinking about it for a long time, she said softly, "Because Dad will be embarrassed to ask Chengcheng, because Dad has just met Chengcheng, and he doesn't know how to talk to Chengcheng yet." Chengcheng, Dad doesn't ask you, you can talk to Dad. Mom assures you that Dad will be happy. β
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, Mom assures you, if you don't believe it, Chengcheng will try it." Lan Xingye said this, and Cheng Rucai pulled away his smiling face again, "Okay! β
Lan Xingye has been busy looking for a house and a job these days, so he is still living in Zhang Sisi's Xiyuan apartment for the time being. After making a phone call, Lan Xingye thought about it and sent a message to Shao Mingyang.
When is it convenient, can you talk on the phone?
In a five-star hotel, it is the dinner that is staggered. Suddenly, the phone vibrated in the pocket. Because it is placed in the pocket on the inside of the suit, it is felt as soon as it vibrates. Shao Mingyang's eyes tightened, he couldn't help but take it out and take a look, the remarks and names displayed on the screen made him a little happy.
"Mr. Shao, come, I'll toast you......" The other party's boss was talking about toasting.
Shao Mingyang smiled slightly and said politely, "I'm sorry, I'll answer the phone." β
"Okay, Mr. Shao, you are busy first......
Shao Mingyang immediately walked out of the private room, and went to the quiet corridor. Facing her number, I pressed the dial button directly.
A string of bells rang.
It also surprised Blue Star.
Lan Xingye knew from Chengru that Shao Mingyang didn't come back for dinner tonight, and he knew that there must be a social, so he wouldn't come back immediately. But I didn't expect him to dial it so quickly. Lan Xingye was stunned, she sat in the chair in front of the table, looked out the window and pressed answer.
Shao Mingyang on the other end, he was standing on the windowsill of the cloister, looking at the night view of S City.
"What's the matter?" Without waiting for her to speak, Shao Mingyang immediately asked.
Lan Xingye said softly, "Actually, there's nothing to do, I just want to talk to you about Chengru." β
"What's wrong with him?" Shao Mingyang was confused, and learned from Sister Li that Chengru had been taken back to the villa safely in the evening.
Lan Xingye thought for a moment and said, "Didn't you ask him about the situation at the school, nor did you ask him how he got along with the children?" β
"Yes." Indeed, Shao Mingyang didn't ask, because he knew everything.
"Chengru, he really wants you to ask him, he wants you to care more about him." Blue Star Night said directly.
Shao Mingyang understood now, it turned out to be the case, he responded, "I know." β
"Next time, just ask him, he'll be happy. Everything else is fine, I'm hanging. Lan Xingye was about to hang up as he spoke, but Shao Mingyang said, "Have you found a job?" β
"I'm still applying, but there should be no problem, and I can go to work tomorrow."
"Which company?"
"Knowles Goldman Sachs."
"You're so confident?" The corners of his lips pursed slightly.
Knowles Enterprises is a financial family in S City, and all banks are looking forward to Lou's family, and their influence is very wide. Goldman Sachs is the headquarters of Knowles, and if it does not have enough capacity, how can it be recognized and entered.
In the early years, Knowles was involved in a wide range of financing investments, including electronics, real estate, petrochemicals, and core business was gold futures investment and asset management. In the early years, Knowles joined forces with the well-known Zhongzheng Group in S City, and almost monopolized the insurance business in the entire S City. In the insurance industry, that is the leading boss, and Knowles is the biggest supporter behind the scenes.
In recent years, Knowles has expanded and developed the company, making it one of the few financial service groups in the S market that is truly based in the Asia-Pacific region.
Knowles is most famous for the bigamy between Jiang Yingjie, the daughter of the Lou family, and Qin Xiao, the second young man of the Qin family. Qin Ershao took away Qin Dashao's bride-to-be at the wedding, and for a time became the focus of attention in S City. The Lou family was furious and directly urged the capital injection, which caused a huge crisis for the Qin family. In the end, it was Qin Yusheng, the eldest junior of the Qin family, and Qin Xiaozheng, the third junior of the Qin family, who joined forces to settle the crisis.
Of course, Jian Zitong's help was also indispensable, so he was able to invite the Hall family at the last moment.
And these are all things in the past, and at this moment, Blue Starry Night can be so indifferent, which is enough to prove that she has indeed grown.
Lan Xingye said at the other end, "In terms of personal areas, I still know my strengths. β
Suddenly, Shao Mingyang felt a little proud, and he said in a low voice, "Then I'll wait for your good news." β
"That's it." She wanted to hang up again, but Shao Mingyang couldn't help but call her again, "Blue Starry Night, if you want to call Chengru, you can actually call me directly." β
Lan Xingye was silent for a while, and then said, "No, it's more convenient to call Sister Li directly." β
