Chapter 125: The Old Man
Meng's Qingge branch.
After Meng Ao washed up, he changed into clean clothes, but his face still looked very haggard.
Sikong Yao was sitting precariously, muttering in his heart for a while, praying for Meng Ao's reprimand.
Sikong Yao told Meng Ao what had happened in the past three months, and originally thought that Meng Ao would be furious, after all, it was his son.
Unexpectedly, Meng Ao was unexpectedly calm, and he didn't speak for a long time.
For a while, the atmosphere was a little awkward, and Sikong Yao's heart was extremely aggrieved.
After a long time, Meng Ao sighed slowly and said, "Xiyao, how did he leave in the end?" ”
Sikong Yao was at a loss, and she felt inexhaustible guilt in the face of Meng Xiyao's father.
He ...... He knocked me out and never came back......"
Meng Ao sighed again, expressing the helplessness in his heart.
"Xiyao, this kid has been like this since he was a child, he doesn't like to say anything, don't be surprised."
Sikong Yao was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Meng Ao to react like this in the end, the expected angry accusation did not come as expected, but made Sikong Yao even more guilty.
"Uncle I'm sorry...... It's all because I ......."
Meng Ao shook his head and said comfortingly: "Xiyao has been very independent since he was a child, since his mother left, he has become more self-contained, even I, who is a father, have not been able to say a few words to him, it is rare for him to meet the girl he likes, this is a good thing, I have to thank you, you are not wrong." ”
Sikong Yao's heart was extremely depressed, and the more Meng Ao tolerated her, the more uncomfortable she felt in her heart.
"Uncle is all my fault, if I hadn't invited him to Xiamen, these things wouldn't have happened."
Recalling the last scene before Meng Xiyao left, Meng Ao's mood that had always been very low also improved slightly, and he said softly: "When Xiyao was packing his luggage that day, it was rare for me to see him smile. It was the joy that really came from the heart, just like when his mother was still there. ”
Sikong Yao was silent, and could only quietly listen to Meng Ao expounding on the past.
Meng Ao then said: "In the end, it's my fault, if it weren't for the conflict between me and Xiyao's mother." Xiyao, this kid won't suffer so much. ”
"Uncle, don't say that, Xiyao has never blamed you."
"I owe him so much, since his own mother sent him that game machine, even the habit of greeting him on a daily basis has been omitted."
Sikong Yao asked, "Xiyao's mother ......?"
Meng Ao went on to say: "Xiyao's mother later went to Brazil and married a rich man, but she rarely had anything to do with Xiyao. And Xiyao didn't want to talk to me, for a long time, I didn't know what this kid was thinking in his heart, it was really difficult for him. ”
Recalling that the relationship between the two fathers and sons has become increasingly estranged in the past twelve years, Meng Ao's eyes began to become slightly rosy.
Sikong Yao also lowered his head. It is true that I rarely hear Meng Xiyao talk about things related to himself, he always thinks about people everywhere, and he has layers of scars in his heart, but no one knows about it.
Seeing that Sikong Yao's mood became more depressed, Meng Ao planned to change the topic so that this little girl could feel better.
"Anyway. Xiyao is blessed to be able to meet you as a friend, thank you for leaving him so many precious memories in the end, I think he must be very happy. It's not too early, so why don't you stay for dinner? ”
Sikong Yao shook his head lightly and thanked him: "No need uncle, it's too troublesome for you......"
Meng Ao straightened his back, if he continued to be so confused, wouldn't he repeat the mistakes of the past?
The dead are gone, the living rest in peace, and life goes on no matter what.
Meng Ao lifted his spirits, and then smiled: "No trouble, no trouble." Just stay and eat something casually, the last time Xi Yao brought you over, you left before you had time to taste our family's craftsmanship, this time you have to taste it. ”
Sikong Yao couldn't shirk it, so he had to agree.
It just came at this time. The door was slowly opened.
Meng Ao saw that there were guests, and said respectfully: "Welcome, what do you want to eat?" ”
A pair of shiny white leather shoes slowly stepped into the store, followed by a pair of trousers, a straight and bright white suit with a noble tie, deep black eyes set off the extraordinarily angular features, and the demeanor was very dignified.
The man humbly asked, "May I ask if Meng Xiyao is here?" ”
Sikong Yao instantly snorted, and this voice was very familiar to him.
The heart was beating violently suddenly, and the close connection between the blood veins made Sikong Yao's emotions rise instantly.
Meng Ao frowned slightly, and said, "I'm sorry, may I ask you what you are looking for him, I am his father, is there anything that can help you?" ”
The man spoke again: "That's the case, I'm the ...... of Minghe Restaurant"
Before the man finished speaking, he felt a soft intrusion in his arms, and then he was slightly stunned, and Sikong Yao had already spoken.
"Brother......
The man was shocked, stiffened, and pestle there like a piece of wood.
The man was stunned for a long time before he slowly noticed that Sikong Yao was trembling in his arms.
The man swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his voice was full of disagreement, and asked in surprise, "You...... Xiao Yao? ”
Sikong Yao nodded violently, and hurriedly said, "It's me, brother, it's me." ”
This person is Sikong Yao's elder brother, Sikong Lu.
Sikong Lu looked at Sikong Yao as if he was looking at a ghost, couldn't believe his eyes, and said in surprise: "Xiao Yao, is it really you?" You're not dead? That's great! ”
The close connection between brothers and sisters, the emotion of blood dissolving in water, warmed the entire deserted Meng Qing Pavilion at this moment.
In this world, there is such a relationship, which seems to be implicated by a continuous red thread.
He was always willing to accept her with open arms, completely, and without any reason.
When she was a child, after her mother died, he gave her the courage to brave the cold and accompany her through the most fragile confusion of her childhood.
This red line is called blood.
Sikong Lu tried his best to calm down, and the news that Sikong Yao, the successor of Minghe Restaurant, had been hijacked and his whereabouts were unknown, swept the entire continent for a full week.
Hearing that his sister had suffered such a catastrophe, Sikong Lu fell ill in bed and recuperated for a month before recovering.
In this way, the two brothers and sisters crossed life and death and reunited again, without words, there was only one action, and that was to hug each other tightly.
The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but it's not time to be sad.
As the president of Minghe Restaurant in Shengyi Province and the second largest shareholder of the company, Sikong Lu has been in the shopping mall since he was 14 years old.
The death of his mother forced Sikong Lu to stand up strongly, taking care of his young and ignorant sister while assisting in the running of the family business.
At the age of fourteen, he did not have a high culinary talent, so he could only rely on tenacious perseverance and use his shrewd mind to carve out a path that belonged to him in the midst of the ridicule of several chefs.
Unlike Sikong Yao, Sikong Lu did not grow up under a superior family environment and the pampering of his brother, he only had a stubborn father and countless pairs of cold eyes that looked down on him.
But he still succeeded, with his mind and hard work, he climbed up step by step, and sat in the position of the president of the restaurant under Minghe Restaurant in Shengyi Province, such a person, the tenacity of his heart is self-evident.
However, such a person, at this moment, in the face of his own sister, also cried like a child.
"Yao, it's really good that you're not dead, do you know how much I miss you, brother?"
Sikong Yao was ashamed, but just hugged Sikong Lu further.
After coming back, Sikong Yao didn't make a single call to the family, because she still remembered the oath she had made, so she was stubborn and put her brother who loved her aside.
Until now, the two brothers and sisters met by chance on such an occasion, and the family affection that was thicker than water was more important than destroying the willfulness and stubbornness in Sikong Yao's heart.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I should have called you earlier."
Sikong Lu wiped his tears, and still said dotingly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay to be back, it's good to be back." ”
Sikong Lu's domineering and toughness are well-known in the industry, but no matter what Sikong Yao does wrong, Sikong Lu will never scold her, in Sikong Lu's eyes, his sister is absolutely innocent.
If anyone dares to say that Sikong Lu's sister is not, then wait to meet Sikong Lu's revenge and the destruction of the family.
So as long as Sikong Yao is willing, she can make mistakes unconditionally, because Sikong Lu, the eldest brother, will settle everything for her.
But fortunately, Sikong Yao did not become an ignorant girl, she said guiltily: "Brother, I was wrong, you can beat me." ”
Sikong Lu rubbed Sikong Yao's head dotingly, and said with a smile: "How could I beat you, you didn't do anything wrong, good, can you go home with me?" Father would be happy to know that you were still alive. ”
Sikong Yao's mind suddenly appeared with the face of an old-fashioned man, and he said slightly angrily: "Don't! He was the one who kicked me out of the house, so I don't want to go back! ”
Sikong Lu could not obey Sikong Yao only in this one matter, and patiently persuaded: "Obedient Xiao Yao, where is the overnight feud between father and daughter, listen to me, let's go back." ”
Sikong Yao scolded: "Brother, don't force me, don't let me leave immediately, so that you can never find me again." ”
Sikong Lu gritted his teeth, struggled in his heart for a while, and then sighed helplessly, and said: "Forget it, if you don't want to go back, forget it, anyway, knowing that you are still alive, my brother is very satisfied." ”
Seeing that Sikong Lu compromised, Sikong Yao also laughed, it was rare for brothers and sisters to meet once, there was no need to quarrel because of that man.
Sikong Yao smiled and asked, "Brother, why did you come here?" ”
