Soon, Zhao Sihai led Zhao Bangguo into the hall.

Zhao Sihai has the reputation of "the wise fox of the business world" in the outside world, it can be said that he is walking on one side, and he is moved by the wind and thunder, and his pomp and style are not slightly weaker than half a point of the party members, but in front of the old lady, he is still well-behaved and restrained a lot, and even the usual smile on his face has faded a lot.

"Father, we're back." Zhao Sihai said with some fear.

Naturally, he wasn't really afraid, but his appearance seemed to be fearful.

It was Zhao Bangguo, who glanced at Zhao Bing, with an unenthusiastic but just right smile on his face, which would not make people feel contrived or indifferent.

In the end, it is the son of Zhihu, who treats people and things, advances and retreats freely, and controls the degree, which can be described as perfect.

"Big brother, you're finally back." Zhao Bangguo said hello to Zhao Bing, and then sat down with his father.

Zhao Sihai looked at Zhao Bing and nodded cordially, with a touch of relief in his eyes, which made Zhao Bing feel very disgusted.

Zhao Bing is two years older than Zhao Bangguo, and when he was young, Zhao Sihai, the second uncle, took good care of him and felt extremely distressed, which made Zhao Bing also very attached to him.

But who would have thought that it was this second uncle who was one of the masterminds behind the conspiracy that shocked the top management of Yanjing back then.

Until now, Zhao Bing did not doubt that Zhao Sihai had any moisture in his love for him back then, but Zhao Sihai still did that, which made Zhao Bing feel physically and mentally cold.

The temptation of power and wealth was truly incomparable, and he remembered a phrase - there was never such a thing as loyalty, it was only because the bargaining chips of betrayal were not enough.

What Zhao Sihai did was a betrayal of his family, and Zhao Bing was very cold and distressed at the same time.

Cannibalism and sibling rivalry are the greatest tragedy in the world.

But the fact has happened, he can't change it, the only thing he can do is to give an explanation to those unjustly dead souls.

Sooner or later, there must be an explanation!

Zhao Bing said to himself in his heart.

He looked at Zhao Sihai, stood up for a long time, saluted respectfully, and called, "Second Uncle has had a good time these years. ”

Zhao Bing's gift made Zhao Sihai feel ashamed, his lips trembled, and he finally sighed, and said: "Second uncle is doing well, but you are Xiaobing, it is really too hard, fortunately, you are still alive, this is the greatest comfort." ”

"I was already dead." Zhao Bing showed a smile: "But Lord Yama said that I still have some unfinished business, and it's not too late for me to come back and report after I finish it." ”

Zhao Hongxing snorted angrily, didn't let Zhao Bing and Zhao Sihai talk like this, and reprimanded: "Let you pick up people, what's the matter?!" ”

Zhao Sihai said aggrievedly: "We were stuck in traffic on the road, and when we arrived at the airport, we had already missed it." ”

Zhao Bangguo wanted to speak, but was glared at by Zhao Sihai and immediately shut up.

"Traffic jams are not a reason!" Zhao Hongxing said angrily: "Can't you go early?" It makes me angry that you can't do such a thing! ”

"Father, don't be angry, it's not good to be angry, tomorrow will be your ninetieth birthday." Zhao Sihai said with a smile.

"Can I not be angry?" Zhao Hongxing said.

……

Zhao Bing stood up and said to Zhao Hongxing: "Grandpa, I'll go see Linlin first." ”

"Okay, there you go!" Zhao Hongxing said: "Let's have a reunion dinner together in the evening, it is estimated that you will go out in the afternoon, but you must come back early." ”

Zhao Bing said: "I must go home before six o'clock." ”

Walking out of the door and coming to the courtyard, Zhao Bing took a deep breath, and then he felt a little better.

The old lady's doting on him, everyone in the Zhao family knows it, and until now, he can still feel it.

It's just that the old lady's anger just now brought some water.

He is a junior, why do you need elders to pick him up?

I didn't receive it, there's nothing to say, traffic jams, no matter how far-fetched this reason is, I can't be so angry.

False!

He still felt fake.

He doesn't like things that are too fake, even if this fake is actually a manifestation of the old lady's doting on him, he doesn't like it.

Besides, the reason why the old lady is angry is not for the sake of the family.

The ninety-year-old man is not confused at all, his mind is clear, and he is extremely shrewd, what can he hide from his fiery eyes?

The old man has two sons and a daughter in his middle age, and two grandchildren in his later years, all of them are dragons and phoenixes among people, he has worked hard all his life, and how many disasters he has experienced before he can have today's Zhao family, which has long been refined.

Qin Lin was arranged next to Zhao Bing, her room was also very simple, there was no trace of luxury, the furniture was still antique, and there were no expensive ornaments, which made her a little surprised.

The old house of the Zhao family turned out to be similar to the conditions in the countryside!

In fact, the old mansion of the Zhao family, the inner courtyard, is just a symbol of power and status, and the reason why it is rumored by the outside world is only because this is the Zhao family.

Zhao Xishui was talking with Qin Lin, she had already behaved very gently, but the powerful aura in her bones still shocked Qin Lin to be careful, which made her feel speechless.

The two chatted without a word, most of them were Zhao Xishui asking, and Qin Lin was answering.

Seeing Zhao Bing, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Xishui asked Zhao Bing: "Come over so soon?" Are you worried that your sister has been wronged? Don't believe my aunt, do you? ”

Zhao Bing hurriedly smiled: "I don't believe anyone, and I won't distrust my aunt, it's just that the second uncle and Bangguo are back, and it's a little awkward for me to stay there." ”

"Your second uncle?" Qin Lin took the initiative to ask, and her eyes became a little sharp.

Zhao Xishui frowned slightly.

Zhao Bing nodded and said with a smile: "Linlin, how is it, are you still used to it here?" ”

Qin Lin nodded.

In fact, she is against her will, she is very used to the conditions here, but she is really not used to the atmosphere here.

There are a lot of people in the Zhao family's old house, but most of them are in the front yard and the middle courtyard, and the inner courtyard is so quiet, giving her the feeling that an ancient beauty has entered the back garden of the palace, and she instinctively perceives the coldness.

Zhao Bing smiled with relief: "It's good if you agree, maybe for a while, I have to go out." ”

"Do you want me along?" Qin Lin asked.

Zhao Bing said: "Okay, just take you out for a walk." ”

"You're going to see him?" Zhao Xishui asked.

Zhao Bing said: "I always have to go and see him." ”

"I'll take you with me." Zhao Xi waterway.

"Okay."

When the three of them came to the courtyard, they happened to see the back of Zhao Sihai leaving with Zhao Bangguo, they stopped and stood in the courtyard.

Zhao Hongxing did not appear, and may have gone back to the house to lie down, occasionally hearing a cough coming from his room.

"The old lady's health is not as good as before." Zhao Xishui said in a low voice: "If there is anything, you can follow him, even if it is to lie to him, it is better than making him angry, our Zhao family can have today, it all depends on him, whether there is tomorrow or not, it depends on him." ”

"The point is that you can't fool him." Zhao Bing smiled bitterly.

Zhao Xishui smiled: "He is sometimes very easy to deceive." ”

Zhao Bing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little warm in his heart.

Coming out of the old mansion, he met a lot of acquaintances along the way, some of the clansmen who came to the old mansion to do business, some relatives and friends who came to the old mansion to see him, and those servants who grew up watching him grow up, and some people, he didn't know, but these people knew him......

In the face of familiar people, Zhao Bing would respond with a smile, and in the face of unfamiliar people, he just smiled and signaled, but he still didn't like this process.

After leaving the family for so many years, he is no longer used to being the crown prince of the Zhao family, and what he wants is no longer these admiration and stammering...... So he felt that it was a hard journey.

When he came to the alley, Zhao Bing suddenly sighed: "I never knew that my previous life was so troublesome and boring, it seems that my choice was really right." ”

Zhao Xishui understood why Zhao Bing had such feelings, and said with a smile: "No matter how you choose, you are still a member of the Zhao family." ”

"But I don't want to be a big young master anymore." Zhao Bing said.

"Whatever you want to do, I support you."

"Thank you."

"Do you need to say thank you to me?" Zhao Xishui was a little angry.

Zhao Bing smiled: "Then don't thank you, from childhood to adulthood, you have helped me protect me and love me, but I have never said thank you, for so many years, I have always taken this for granted, because you are my aunt, but now that I think about it, I should actually thank you." ”

Zhao Xishui was speechless, and was about to speak, but the roar of the motorcycle suddenly came, and a domineering Seymour rushed over from the mouth of the alley, riding a woman, with long hair dancing wildly in the wind, wearing a set of fiery red clothes, and suddenly stopped beside Zhao Bing with a bang.

The girl jumped out of the car, took off her helmet, showed a delicate but very face, grinned, and suddenly threw herself into Zhao Bing's arms, and then surrounded Zhao Bing's head with two pairs, and shouted: "Brother, you are finally back!" ”

Zhao Xishui shook his head helplessly, but Qin Lin was a little dazed.

Zhao Bing smiled, but he didn't react for a long time, feeling that his sister's physical development was much beyond her age, and he suddenly felt a little emotional.

I haven't seen each other for a few years, but the little girl has grown up and begun to be slim.

Zhao Xin finally got off Zhao Bing's body, and then he grabbed his arm and didn't let go, turned his head to look at Qin Lin, blinked, and smiled a little strangely: "Are you a sister-in-law?" ”

Qin Lin blushed, and quickly shook his head, so anxious that he didn't know how to speak.

Zhao Bing was also very embarrassed, gave Zhao Xin a chestnut, and said, "Don't mess around with mandarin duck scores, she is the sister I recognized outside." ”

"Your sister?" The smile on Zhao Xin's face disappeared, and he said viciously: "You already have a sister." ”

"I know." Zhao Bing smiled: "But she is the sister I recognize, from now on, you are sisters, I warn you, if you dare to bully her, I will - I will spank you." ”

Zhao Xin jumped away all of a sudden, covered his hips with both hands, and said with some annoyance: "Will you only do this in your life?" I'm a big girl now, and you're not allowed to spank me anymore. ”

"In my eyes, you are still a little girl, if you dare to be naughty, I will do it." Zhao Bing said triumphantly: "And I won't take you out to eat the overlord meal in the future." ”

In addition to pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger and stepping on people, Zhao Bing did the most to eat overlord meals, find some bad merchants, and then find a group of boys and brothers, eat a lot, and finally get a few flies from his pocket and throw them on the plate to settle the bill...... It was the greatest pleasure of their years, and it was a game that the siblings never tired of.

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Xin immediately changed his face and said with a flattering smile: "Brother, am I such an ignorant person?" Since I was a child, I have been the most well-behaved and listen to you the most, by the way, how old is she? ”

"A few months older than you." Zhao Bing said.

"I'm eighteen." Zhao Xin said.

"There are still 48 days left." Zhao Bing immediately corrected it.

Zhao Xin came over to hold Zhao Bing's arm again, and said happily and contentedly: "It's still my brother's distress, I still remember my birthday, well, by the way, when I came back this time, did you prepare a birthday gift for me in advance?" ”

Zhao Bing said shamefully: "No." ”

"It's okay, let's go to eat the overlord meal with the little fat guys then." Zhao Xin proposed: "I haven't been to the overlord meal for a long time. ”

Zhao Bing hurriedly shook his head: "Brother is also an adult now, don't do those unconscionable things, hurry, call sister." ”

Zhao Xin turned his head, looked at Qin Lin, and shouted with a smile, "Sister." ”

Seeing the cunning in Zhao Xin's eyes, Qin Lin was a little weak-hearted, squeezed out a smile, nodded, and said, "It's okay if you call me by my name, my name is Qin Lin." ”
