Pale blue lights spilled into every corner of the hall, the piano on the side of the hall played soothing tunes, and waiters in tuxedos and black bow ties carried food plates, shuttling back and forth in the hall, as elegant as cats, without making a sound.

This is one of the most exclusive French restaurants in Ninghai City, and the people who come and go are all leaders in the business circle of Ninghai political circle.

The French restaurant is closed tonight, and it has been taken over by Zhou Rong, president of Tenglong Group, and the entire hall is dimly lit, except for the waiters and piano players, there is no one.

At the door, more than a dozen bodyguards in black suits were waiting for them, and their faces were cold and stern in the shape of geese outside the restaurant, which was awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, a row of cars drove slowly, and a Rolls-Royce extended RV in the middle was illuminated by neon lights, adding dignity and momentum.

As soon as the Rolls-Royce stopped, Zhou Mei got out of the car first, walked to the other side of the door, opened the door for Ye Huan, and took a step back, bowing slightly to Ye Huan, which was completely the respectful attitude of the subordinate maid serving the young master.

Ye Huan quietly watched Zhou Mei's actions, he took a long breath, and was not flattered by her actions, Ye Huan had some guesses about his life experience, he was thinking, maybe tonight, everything can be revealed.

Expectation, resentment, hatred, and the bitterness of twenty years of nowhere to vent, many tastes, are churning in his heart at this moment.

Looking up at the ornate gilded revolving door of the restaurant, he knew that this door led to a completely different world.

"Ye Huan, get out of the car, the restaurant has been booked tonight, there are only three of us, so let's eat quietly." Zhou Mei stared at him with a pair of pretty eyes, looking at his slightly trembling body, Zhou Mei sighed secretly.

Ye Huan...... He's not stupid, maybe he's already guessed something, what will be the result of tonight's recognition?

Ye Huan was wearing a very ordinary gray jacket, his white-washed jeans were stained with a little dust, and a pair of crumpled gray old sneakers were dotted with a few stars of mud, which seemed very incompatible with this luxurious restaurant, just like he and this flashy era, they did not fit in with each other.

Sitting on the handmade leather chair in the back seat of the RV, Ye Huan looked at the scarlet carpet under the car, but he didn't dare to take a step.

Zhou Mei looked at him quietly, not urging him, looking at him with a little indescribable pity in her beautiful eyes.

As the son of the head of the family, the crown prince of the Shen family, this step must be taken by himself after all.

Everyone looked at Ye Huan quietly, and there was silence all around, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at Ye Huan.

Ye Huan wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh, what he had to do was actually very simple, step out of the car, and then push open the door in front of him, and in that door, there was the answer he had been pondering for twenty years.

Life, maybe it's really rare to be confused, Ye Huan hates his parents, but he wants to know why his parents abandoned him, when the answer is already in front of him, he doesn't dare to reveal it, he is very afraid, he doesn't know what he is afraid of.

Zhou Mei watched Ye Huan hesitating and struggling in the car, her heart ached, and tears couldn't help falling.

"Ye Huan, actually...... If you don't eat this meal, I'll send you back. Zhou Mei choked and said, she really couldn't bear to see Ye Huan's painful appearance, this man had already suffered too much, and he shouldn't add new scars to him.

When Ye Huan heard this, his struggling expression suddenly froze, and then he smiled, and said in a very brisk tone: "Then how can it be done?" Say you're in for a treat, you can't let me go, it's the first time I've come to such a high-end restaurant. ”

Saying that, Ye Huan deviated his legs, got out of the car, and walked to the revolving door of the restaurant with firm and steady steps.

Stretching out his hand and pushing, the revolving door moved silently, bringing Ye Huan from a poor and depressed world into a colorful prosperity.

Zhou Mei smiled with tears, this step, he finally walked out by himself.

Zhou Mei looked around at the two rows of bodyguards standing awe-inspiringly, and said coldly: "You guys are guarding here, and no one is allowed to go in and disturb." ”

Two rows of bodyguards responded: "Yes." ”

Wiping away her tears, Zhou Mei showed the most beautiful smile and quickly followed Ye Huan.

**********************************************************

After Zhou Mei entered the door, she saw Ye Huan and Zhou Rong standing opposite each other, the two of them looking at each other, their bodies trembling slightly.

Melodious piano music is like mercury, embellished with the silence between the two.

Zhou Rong burst into tears, staring at the young man in front of him who had missed him for twenty years, a pair of eyes that still had charm greedily scanned every inch of the skin of his face, looking at the traces of Taoism carved on his face by his hard work over the years, Zhou Rong's tears rolled down like pearls with broken threads.

After twenty years of hardship, he has grown into a man, and what hurts Zhou Rong the most is that in his life trajectory, there is no shadow of his parents, and he completely relies on him to grit his teeth alone to survive, he is tired and hurt, he suffers and suffers silently, but she has never been able to participate in her son's life.

Not being able to participate in their son's life is the greatest sorrow of parents.

How did he survive all these years? How many eyes and ridicule has an orphan with a blank background suffered, how many humiliations and tribulations he has endured in order to survive, who he has to talk to when he is hurt, and who he has to share with when he has been wronged...... In all the ups and downs, there is no shadow of parents, how unfortunate and painful!

Ye Huan pursed her lips and looked at the middle-aged beauty in front of her expressionlessly, her body trembling slightly.

This middle-aged woman who couldn't cry was probably the answer he had been looking for for twenty years.

Standing in front of her, Ye Huan only felt a chill in his body.

Hatred, resentment, sourness...... These tastes are churning in my mind over and over again.

He has made countless vows that if he sees his parents, he must scold and beat Yunyun, but when it comes to meeting each other for the real time, Ye Huan looked at Zhou Rong's painful appearance, Ye Huan found that the vows he had made in the past were all meaningless cruel words, and he couldn't say a word now.

Do you know my hard work all these years? If you don't want me, why bother to let me come into the world? Why did you abandon me back then?

The questions that have accumulated for many years, now he doesn't want to ask any of them, he just stands opposite Zhou Rong with an expressionless face, watching this woman cry for him, but he doesn't say anything, as if he just saw a stranger.

The two looked at each other for a long time, Zhou Mei wiped the tears on her cheeks, and said with a forced smile: "Let's go in for dinner, sit down and talk." ”

Ye Huan turned his head and looked at Zhou Mei with numb eyes, Zhou Mei was stabbed in the heart by his empty and godless gaze, stretched out his hand, gently grabbed his arm, and led him into the restaurant half-helped and half-dragged him.

The three of them sat down, and the waiters served a variety of delicious exotic dishes and desserts.

Zhou Rong and Zhou Mei didn't have the heart to eat, they just stared at Ye Huan, their eyes didn't blink, as if he would disappear in the sky in the next second.

Ye Huan picked up the knife and fork, and cut the beef on the plate stiffly, again and again.

Zhou Rong hurriedly took the plate and carefully helped him cut the beef into small pieces, and the tears never stopped.

Twenty years, this is the first thing she did for her son.

What is it like to be heartbroken, she finally tastes it now, or rather, her heart has been aching for the past twenty years, and it has not stopped for a moment.

Tears, drop by drop, fell into the plate with the steak.

Ye Huan took the plate, silently picked up a small piece of beef, and ate it one bite at a time.

The waiter respectfully opened a bottle of Lafite red wine from Bordeaux, France.

Zhou Rong stretched out her hand, took the wine bottle, and carefully poured wine for Ye Huan.

Ye Huan buried his head in eating and ignored it.

During the whole process, the three of them were silent, without introduction, without greetings, and an indescribable sense of suffocation weighed heavily on the hearts of the three people.

After eating a few bites, Ye Huan pushed the plate, pouted, and said, "It's unpalatable." ”

Zhou Rong hurriedly said, "What do you want to eat, tell me." ”

Ye Huan glanced at her coldly, didn't make a sound, picked up the red wine glass, and poured it down.

After drinking, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve, licked the wine stains on the corner of his mouth, frowned, and said, "This is also unpleasant, sour." ”

After finishing speaking, Ye Huan slowly glanced at the extravagant lighting and furnishings of the restaurant, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"This place really doesn't belong to me......"

Zhou Mei saw that Ye Huan had lost her mind, and she was anxious, stood up and said: "Ye Huan, let's stop eating if we can't get used to eating here, let's go eat food stalls, we actually like to eat food stalls." ”

Zhou Rong nodded eagerly and nervously.

Ye Huan glanced at Zhou Rong noncommittally and got up expressionlessly.

***********************************************************

The convoy drove mightily towards the old town.

At the entrance of the alley of the old town, in a noisy stall where business is booming, the owner of the stall covered in oil is smoking a cigarette and churning the dishes in the pot.

After getting out of the car, Zhou Mei waved away the bodyguard, and the three of them walked into the gear stall in a low-key manner, and chose a clean table to sit down.

"Boss, just come with a few dishes, and serve two bottles of two pots!"

In the stall, Ye Huan finally regained some vitality.

Zhou Rong's eyes were always red, listening to Ye Huan's angry shouting, Zhou Rong couldn't help but shed tears.

He...... It seems that only in poverty can life be rejuvenated.

Looking at the stall full of the smell of oil smoke and stains, Zhou Rong's heart became more and more painful, has he lived in such an environment all these years? Listening to Zhou Mei, sometimes he doesn't even have the money to eat a meal like this, he ...... How bitter is it?

The dish was served quickly, steaming hot, and was thrown on the table by the boss, squinting at him: "Don't take credit today, right?" ”

Ye Huan hurriedly pointed at Zhou Mei and smiled: "She pays today, rest assured, she will never take credit." ”

Zhou Rong's tears rolled down.

"Ye Huan, these years...... Me, I...... All these years......" Zhou Rong didn't finish speaking, and she was already crying breathlessly.

Ye Huan unscrewed the wine bottle, poured a sip of wine hard, and exhaled a long breath.

After eating a few bites of food, Ye Huan put down his chopsticks and said with a forced smile: "There is something wrong with this wine today, it is a little top, go out to breathe, you eat first." ”

After speaking, Ye Huan hurriedly walked out of the gear.

Zhou Rong followed behind him and watched Ye Huan squatting at the entrance of the alley, his head down, his shoulders constantly shaking.

Zhou Rong cried bitterly and shouted: "Ye Huan! ”

Ye Huan turned his head, two lines of tears rolled down his face, crying like a child.

Looking at Zhou Rong's heartbroken appearance, Ye Huan squeezed out a smile, tears wiped and flowed out, and he couldn't stop it.

"I really want to tell you how I've come all these years, and I also want to ask you, why didn't you show up until now......" Ye Huan's body shook, and his eyes showed deep tiredness and pain.

Zhou Rong shook her head, crying and shaking her head: "I'm sorry, Ye Huan, I'm sorry ......"

Saying that, Zhou Rong stepped forward and hugged Ye Huan into her arms, hugged her tightly, and used the greatest strength in her life.

Ye Huan cried silently, tears washed his face, years of bitter suffering, until this moment, he seemed to have exhausted the last trace of strength, knelt on the ground softly, hung his head wordlessly, and let the tears flow for a long time.

An ancient poem that Qiao Mu taught him when he was a child suddenly came to mind.

"The childish child asked, why is it too late to return."
