The office of nearly 100 square meters was divided into two parts, on the reception sofa outside, Dai Shaodong looked at the photo in front of him, the phone rang on the table, he picked up the phone and saw the number, his brows were slightly frowned, but he still answered: "Hey-"

After the other side said a few words, he said: "I made an appointment in the evening, and now I just changed my clothes and am about to go to the ......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted, he took it and listened to it for a while, compromised, and said: "Okay." ”

The assistant stood up and said, "I'll have the car ready." ”

Dai Shaodong stopped him from standing up, "No, my dad called, I'll go home." "He went home and drove on his behalf. The assistant nodded immediately.

Dai Shaodong put on his clothes, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the computer." ”

The assistant changed the photo to a desktop, closed the computer and handed it to him, and walked out with him, looking slightly sympathetic, there was no one in the company, but the two of them were not walking fast, as if they hoped that the road could be longer.

The rich area of Dijing City is relatively messy, he lived in the north in his early years, and there are also in the west, he drove all the way home, but his heart became more and more depressed with the winter.

The three-story villa is very big and magnificent, but it can't escape the four words of decency, just like the people living in it.

Pushing open the door of the living room, the maid was already waiting at the door, taking his clothes and car keys, and he saw at a glance the man sitting on the leather sofa reading the newspaper in the middle of the living room.

"Dad."

Dai Shengnian put down the newspaper, raised his hand to look at his watch, endured the blame, and said, "How is the wedding going?" ”

Dai Shaodong walked over with the computer, opened it, and the photos on the desktop were revealed, black and white sweetness, Dai Shengnian glanced at it twice, was unusually silent for a while, and closed the computer, as if this was the smallest thing.

Dai Shaodong had already taken the small bowl brought out by the servant, and there were a few red dates floating in it, Dai Shengnian didn't ask when he saw him holding it, and said, "Your mother specially cooked it for you." ”

Dai Shaodong drank silently, not too hot.

Dai Shengnian was angry when he saw this, and said angrily: "What is uncomfortable in your heart? You have to be in a foreign country all the time, and no one can see or control you. But now that you're back, that's how the rules of the game are here, and you won't not understand. Who are you betting on? ”

Dai Shaodong put down the bowl, "I'm not angry." But the tone was lonely.

"If you don't get angry, you don't feel happy!" Dai Shengnian stood up suddenly, pointed at him, and tapped his hand a few times, "Can anyone else be blamed for this matter?" You caused such a big thing in Pingcheng and made your grandfather unhappy. You also know what the situation of our family is, the family property is all the old man's, and now it is just for you to get married in advance and add a happy event to the family, and you are reluctant all day long! ”

Dai Shaodong was silent.

Dai Shengnian couldn't figure it out, and became more and more angry, "What's more, this is the girlfriend you picked outside, and the family didn't pick her to grow up abroad, you don't know how blessed you are......"

"What's wrong?" A female voice sounded upstairs, and then a figure in a skirt quickly appeared, and hurried down the stairs, "Why did my son just enter the door, and the two of you quarreled again." ”

When Dai Shengnian saw his wife, he was not angry at all, and said even more angrily: "Look at him, he is so old, and I have to change it to the vernacular to tell him in many things, there is no white dinner in this world, this is the case in our family, if you want to be the successor of the family, you have to have the ability, or you will go out and start from scratch, but where is it so easy to start from scratch, you really fall into the nest of blessings and don't know." ”

"Alright, alright." Mrs. Dai walked over, sat down beside her son, looked at the small bowl on the coffee table, and said softly to Dai Shaodong, "Are you tired today?" ”

Dai Shengnian waited for a long time, waiting for his wife's help, and suddenly felt powerless.

Mrs. Dai glanced at him and motioned for him to sit down, they were all in their early fifties, but even if they were married in history, they were also old husbands and wives, Dai Shengnian sat down sullenly, waiting for his wife to persuade him.

Mrs. Dai said softly to her son: "Mom knows that you are unhappy in your heart, and you think that it is obviously your own marriage, but now it seems that you have changed your taste, and you have become more pleasing to others." In a word, I said what everyone knew.

Dai Shaodong looked at his mother.

Mrs. Dai looked at him lovingly, "Mom knows it in her heart. But everyone has their own difficulties, if you don't look at people's faces, parents have to look at other people's faces. ”

Dai Shengnian suddenly laughed angrily, the "others" were talking about his father.

Mrs. Dai already knew what he was thinking with the tacit understanding between husband and wife, looked at him and said, "What's wrong with your father?" Who made your dad not just your son? Where is it like the two of us have only one son, and the two of us have worked hard all our lives for Shao Dong. If there are more children, there will be more rights and wrongs in the family, and they are obviously relatives, and they are forced to get involved in the relationship of interests. ”

"Mom-" Dai Shaodong immediately interrupted her, and if she continued, her parents would have quarreled.

Dai Sheng turned his face away angrily.

Mrs. Dai's full attention had turned to her son, and she said with a smile: "But your father is right, you are really blessed." Although you weren't ready to get married so early, Yanran was chosen by yourself, and you like it, and sooner or later you will get married, right? ”

Dai Shaodong nodded, hesitated and said, "...... I'm not because of this. ”

"I just feel uncomfortable that I want to use marriage to please my grandfather, right?" Mrs. Dai looked at her lovingly, "Mom and Dad can't do anything about this, I got married to your father when I was 23 years old, and I didn't know your father at that time, to put it mildly, Mom has the most grievances in marriage in her life......

Dai Shengnian and his son looked at her in surprise.

I saw that Mrs. Dai said very sadly: "I want to say ...... Born in such a good family, I want what I want, but I get married and can't pick someone by myself, it's a pity......"

Dai Shaodong was amused when he saw his mother pretending to be "a girl's sorrow".

Dai Shengnian looked at his wife, how could he not know his wife's intentions, in order to relieve his son, he fought to this point, and in an instant, the tenderness of the family diluted his anger, and his heart also brightened.

sighed, changed his tone and said to Dai Shaodong: "In this life, there are always lows and valleys, you have been abroad since you were a child, and no one has ever restrained you." Foreign marriage is relatively free, but that is also relative, parents just consider your growth background, so they respect you the most in marriage. ”

Mrs. Dai approached her son and said, "Your father is right...... You also know that before you asked you to go to Pingcheng, your grandfather didn't think about you, think about it, a grandson returned from studying abroad, everyone stared, but who knew that bad luck happened...... Your grandfather asked you to get married first, and keep a low profile for a year or two, which is also to block the mouths of outsiders. ”

Dai Shaodong nodded, "I know everything." In Dai Shaodong's heart, marriage should be used as a form of "rushing" to please others, and it is impossible to say that there is no mental obstacle. It's just that most people will self-hypnotize and don't think about it at all.

Mrs. Dai saw that her son looked lonely, and the smile on her face gradually faded, she knew that her son was not only unhappy with his marriage, but also what happened in Pingcheng before...... Someone died in the first venture, and it was not so easy for this son to stand up.

She said, "Still...... What did Yanran say? ”

"Nope." Dai Shaodong hurriedly said that it was full of meaning to protect his girlfriend.

Mrs. Dai was relieved, and glanced at her husband with a little worry, the two exchanged a look, had a tacit understanding, some words, thinking that it would be forgotten once today, and said softly: "Yanran is independent and autonomous, of course, many girls abroad are like this." But this kind of granddaughter-in-law, to be honest, your grandfather won't like it. ”

Dai Shaodong raised his eyes to look at her.

Mrs. Dai pretended not to see his surprised eyes, and said, "So when your grandfather said that you should get married and let Yanran come back to meet him first, your father and I stood in the way." Her eyes turned to her son's face, "Do you understand that parents also have to take care of their parents' feelings and want to protect their children's hearts?" ”

Dai Shaodong was stunned,

His girlfriend is a typical Westernized girl, speaking Chinese and English, independent and individual, and his grandfather will not agree if he sees him.

If Grandpa says, "No! He really didn't know if he dared to get married.

Unless you are against the whole family, bring your parents with you.

After a while, he nodded. At this moment, he understood.

Mrs. Dai looked at him lovingly, "You also know now how difficult it is to do things here, everywhere is about human feelings, face, and the relationship between parents." When you get married, you will go back abroad, anyway, you are still young, and you will come back in another year and a half. When the time comes, mom will give you another help, your grandfather has no better male grandson than you, let's laugh until the end, the best laugh. ”

Dai Shaodong nodded. He didn't know that he had done a bad job, and his grandfather had people who blew all kinds of wind, which was also a reason why he was very depressed now, for the sake of profit, how could a family be ugly like that.

Dai Shengnian saw that his son seemed to have really figured it out, and when he thought of that year and a half, he was reluctant to do so, although it was discussed by everyone, but his son had been out before, and now he finally came back, and he had to go out to hide from the limelight. said that they got married, in fact, it was also for their family to look good, and if the business was ruined, they flew out of the country directly, which was to run away.

It is always a more decent excuse to accompany my wife to go abroad to settle down first after marriage.

However, in fact, there is obviously a better way, which is to stand up and start another entrepreneurial attempt...... After thinking about it, he finally got the upper hand in his son's mind, and he said to his wife: "This is just coming back, in fact, it is not necessary to go abroad after marriage, if we think of some other way, it is too common to start a second business." ”

"Second venture?" Mrs. Dai immediately understood what he meant, "I don't want to, you are asking me to come forward again." She stood up and walked hesitantly around the room. After a while, he still shook his head, "Before, your father was reluctant to take out real money and give such a little money, what can you do on the table." If it weren't for the face of my family, but now that person has said that he will no longer support Shao Dong to do real estate. I'm going to say that Shao Dong is going to do something else, how can he speak at such a close time? ”

Dai Shaodong said: "Dad, it's okay, I don't dare to leave the country, I've waited for so long, and there is no news over there, don't be embarrassed for my mother." He has always known about this matter, and said: "Just do what we discussed before, I will go back first after Yanran and I get married, and then try to start a business over there, and come back in a year and a half." Let's talk about the Heijo incident...... It's just a little light, too. ”

Dai Shengnian sighed heavily, got up and went upstairs. Mrs. Dai comforted her son, "Do you still want to go out, go out to play, don't stay at home." He sent his son away and hurriedly followed.

Dai Shengnian was in the study, holding the phone and looking hesitant, Mrs. Dai walked in and closed the door, and whispered: "I'll make another call, it was said that Cheng Qi went abroad before." I called and asked if anyone had returned. ”

Dai Shengnian handed her the phone, knowing that he didn't want to be in front of his son just now, and he was afraid that he would be disappointed if he couldn't do it.

There are a lot of constraints on starting a business in a family like theirs, and it is easy to be laughed at if the starting point is too low, but it is high. Everything you order costs money, and if you have money at home, who will spend everything you have on it to do business, of course, it is really difficult to find financing channels.

Mrs. Dai had already dialed the phone, and after a while, someone answered over there, she looked slightly nervous, and asked, "Cheng Jin...... Is Mr. Cheng back? ”

She hung up the phone in disappointment and shook her head at her husband, "I haven't come back yet." ”

On the other side,

Cheng Jin hung up the phone, pushed open the bedroom door, the bright white light shone in through the window, he walked over and closed the tulle curtains, the old man sitting on the edge of the hospital bed looked haggard, a young and capable person, because the years have become a revered gesture. Watching the doctor take the blood pressure of the person in bed.

Cheng Jin approached him and whispered, "It's a call from Dai's family." ”

The old man's face immediately welled up with disgust, "Why are they still calling?" You can't spare them if you don't call. ”

The man on the hospital bed looked up, his rich and unbelievable expression, and said lightly: "It's none of their family's business." ”

The doctor withdrew his hand, knowing that the people were going to speak, and gave two instructions to take the people away.

The old man stood up and walked over, "Why don't you care about their family's affairs, you also heard from the doctor, if you don't have a good physique, change to the second one, even if it is Cheng Jin, you won't be able to come back." I'm just your son! Their family can't afford to pay for their lives! ”

Cheng Jin didn't dare to speak, walked to the other side, and gave the cup to Cheng Qi.

Cheng Qi raised his hand and pushed it away, his eyes stayed on his father's face for a moment, "If it was done by their family, why should they bury it in the place where their project just went wrong, such an obvious method of blame, I am afraid that it can only be the enemy of their family." The tone is staggered and refreshing, which makes people feel like a clear lake.

Whoever hears this tone, tone, and expression will change slightly.

Old Man Cheng was not angry at all, "I only have you when I am fifty years old, old man!" Old man!! He slammed his cane against the floor, "Even if it's their family's enemies, it's because of them." ”

Cheng Jin wanted to laugh.

Cheng Qi's gaze turned to him and said, "You see that the third child is still here, why is this not your son." What you say, it's time to chill the third child. ”

Cheng Jin hurriedly took a step away and said, "What do I have to worry about." You're my brother, and I'm not there without you! After saying that, he flashed, and he didn't care about the nonsense.

Only the family can easily interpret his "code body", old and sonable, regarded as a treasure, a playmate raised since childhood, and when he is older, he has become a left-hand hand who follows his life. With dignity and dignity, a different life.

But no, without you, where would I be!
