"Lulu, I'll pick you up."

My dad's first words stunned me.

"Dad, are you alright?" I patted Gu Beichen on the shoulder and motioned for him to let me down.

"What's the matter, you go back to the dormitory now to pack up your homework books, and I'll wait for you at the gate of your school."

Gu Beichen squatted down.

I immediately got off his body and focused on talking to my dad on the phone: "Dad, why did you come back all of a sudden?" ”

"Can't I come back yet?"

"No, no, no." I glanced at Gu Beichen on the side: "But, Dad, I don't want to go home for the time being." ”

"No, come out quickly, your mother is at home and has cooked for you."

"Dad!" I shouted a few times, but there was no response.

He hung up the phone.

I drooped my head and faced Gu Beichen.

Before I could speak, Gu Beichen opened his mouth first: "Go home, weren't you worried about your father's body before?" Now that your dad is back, go back and have a look. ”

"That ..... take pictures"

"There's more time in the future."

"Fatty, I'm sorry."

"Not really."

I looked up: "Fatty." ”

"Kiss me, and I'll forgive you." He smiled and tapped his finger on his cheek.

I smiled, stood on tiptoe, and gently touched his tender cheek with my lips.

Blushing, I lowered my head: "Fatty, I'm leaving." ”

"Hmm."

After saying goodbye to Gu Beichen repeatedly, I rushed back to the dormitory, hurriedly changed my skirt, put on jeans and a T-shirt, picked up my schoolbag and rushed to the school gate.

The leaves are swaying, and the sun is like a star.

Under the shade of a tree, a man in a black suit stood.

I stood at the end of the maple grove, looking at my father at the school gate, and suddenly, I found that my father's back was a little hunched, his body was a lot thinner, he couldn't support the suit anymore, he was no longer as handsome as he used to be, and his hair was no longer as oily and neat as before.

When did he look so old?

I raised the corners of my lips and ran towards my father: "Dad." ”

When my dad saw me, his eyes were slightly sour: "At school, are you doing well?" ”

"Look at it." I pinched the flesh of my cheek: "I've gained weight." ”

"I'm thin, let's go home." My dad didn't smile.

My dad drove a gray Mercedes to pick me up, and I was a little puzzled by the move.

"Dad, why did you drive yourself? What about Uncle Ray? I asked.

Uncle Lei is my father's exclusive driver, you can see him everywhere, but today I don't see him, and my dad even changed the car, he used to drive BMW, Porsche's slightly more expensive cars, said to be out of business to let the other party see that he himself is also worth investing.

Volkswagen Mercedes-Benz cars, usually only my mother drives.

My father's expression was serious: "I came to pick up my daughter home, and I have to trouble others?" Or do you refuse to forgive your dad, and you don't even recognize your dad? ”

I frowned: "Dad, look at what you said, I have long forgotten what happened before." ”

"Lulu, I've wronged you."

"Dad, what do you say?"

"I didn't let you study carefree, and you have to take care of life."

I smiled lightly: "I think my life is very good now, I can make money, and I have found the trick to study, by the way, Dad, let me tell you, I have found my purpose in life." ”

"Oh, what's my daughter's goal in life?" My dad finally smiled.

"I want to be a writer and write everything about the world with my pen."

"Writer, this road is not easy to walk, hard work." He looked sad again.

"You have to leave after hard work, Dad, didn't you start from scratch to make so much money? I'm also going to be like you, starting from the bottom and slowly climbing up. ”

My dad's laugh lines wrinkled: "The hero doesn't mention the courage of the year, this person, when he is old, what kind of fame and fortune is fleeting, the important thing is that you and Cong Liang can grow up healthy and happy, and Dad will be relieved." ”

"Dad, why do I think you're a little weird today?" I stared at him.

I always felt that his face was a lot paler, his eyes did not have the same intelligent spirit as before, his hair had a lot of gray hair, and the hand holding the steering wheel had become yellow, revealing blue and purple veins.

He just smiled faintly: "You are also an adult this year, and you are still young, you will take care of Cong Liang in the future, and let your brother do everything." ”

"I know, but Dad, isn't there still you and Mom?"

"Well, yes, and me and your mom."

......

When I returned home, I found that my home had been robbed and almost ransacked.

I looked at the living room that seemed very empty, and looked at Lin Cong who was sitting on the sofa playing a game console in confusion: "Onion, is there a thief at home?" ”

"It's not."

"Then why, the jade cabbage, golden horses, gold ingots, and famous paintings hanging on the wall in the living room used to be placed, as well as my favorite LCD wall-mounted TV?"

"Sold."

"Sold?" I was surprised: "Why did you sell it?" ”

Lin Cong's game character died, and he threw the game console on the sofa in displeasure, looking at me angrily: "Dad's company is bankrupt, and now he wants to sell his property." ”

The words exploded with a thunderbolt above my head, and my head was momentarily unconscious, and I stood there dumbfounded.

Later, my dad came over with a crockpot of chicken soup: "Why don't you two sisters and brothers hurry up and help with the vegetables?" ”

"Oh." Lin Cong obediently went to the kitchen.

My dad carefully placed the chicken soup in the crockpot, took off the heat-insulating gloves, and when he saw my stunned face, he came over and called me: "Lulu, why don't you hurry up?" ”

"Oh." I walked to the kitchen in a cold cold.

His eyes unconsciously looked at my dad.

He didn't have any sadness on his face, he talked to my mother with a smile, scolded my brother for being clumsy with a straight face, he looked like before, as if nothing had happened, he was still the billionaire, he was still the CEO of the listed company, and he was still the rich businessman who made a big move.

However, everything has changed.

"Lulu, why don't you just look at the rice in the bowl and not move your chopsticks?" My mom asked me strangely.

I came back to my senses and lifted my chopsticks.

"There is no meat in the school meals, so I will eat more meat when I go home." My dad took a piece of lamb and put it in my bowl.

I picked it up and took a few bites, and it felt bland and tasteless.

"What's wrong? Quarreled with your dad again on the way back? "My mom blamed my dad for a look.

"Nope." My dad suddenly became stern: "Lin Lu, eat." ”

I put down my chopsticks and bowl and looked at my dad worriedly, "Dad, why did you suddenly go back to China?" Aren't you going to spend two years in France? Isn't that time yet up? ”

"You don't want to see me so much?" My dad was unhappy and his face sank.

"No, it's just that I think it's weird."

"What's so strange, the affairs on the French side have been settled, the domestic affairs are heavy, naturally return to China, you are a little child, what do you know?" My dad ate a few bites of food and looked at me with a twisted eyebrow: "Eat." ”

"You lied to me."

"I'm your dad, why are you lying to you? You hurry up and eat, and when you're done, I'll send you back to school. ”

"You're lying to me, is the company bankrupt?" I asked.

My dad was angry, put the dishes and chopsticks down, and looked solemn: "The company is gone, but I have the ability to provide you and Leng Liang to study, and I have the ability to support your mother and your two cubs. ”

"I have money, and I don't need you to provide me with education."

"Go out without eating."

"Okay, it's rare for a family to eat together, what's the noise?" My mom was slightly stunned.

My dad sighed and picked up the dishes again.

I stopped making a noise and lifted my chopsticks to eat.

However, the atmosphere has become a little heavy, in the past, when eating, even if the family did not speak, there was the sound of the TV, and now, the huge house is quiet and terrifying.

After a few bites of food, my dad put down the bowl and got up and went up to the study on the second floor.

I looked at his back and seemed a little more sad.

The night is still light, and the moonlight is cool.

I sat in front of the window, holding a history notebook, but I couldn't read it.

Suddenly, there were several knocks on the door.

"Lulu, are you asleep?"

It's my mother's voice.

I closed my notebook and said, "No." ”

She opened the door and came in, holding a plate with two glasses of milk and a plate of cut fruit.

She put the plate on the dresser: "Mom came to talk to you about something." ”

I put my notebook on my desk, got into bed, and sat next to my mom.

My mom brought me a glass of milk: "Drink some milk." ”

"Hmm."

"You've grown up, and it's better to tell you some things. Your dad's company hasn't gone bankrupt yet, but that's a matter of time. My mom laughed, but there was bitterness in her smile.

"Is it related to the Sanlu milk powder? If the reputation and image are affected because of this incident, or a cooperation is ruined, or there is a lack of funds, can't it be recovered? In short, everything is still saved, and I have no complaints, but you have to tell me, maybe I can help? ”

My mom touched my head: "Lulu, you've really grown up." ”

"Mom, I'm eighteen this year."

"That's right, Lulu is already an adult." She withdrew her hand, her eyes full of pampering.

On this night, our mother and daughter talked for a long time.

It's mostly about my dad.

My dad's company has a supermarket business, Sanlu milk powder is undoubtedly a blockbuster, from the supermarket operated by my dad to buy Sanlu milk powder a lot of customers, natural return of many customers, at the same time, there are a lot of customers who have accidents, this is naturally a loss of money, all of a sudden, the company's funds are not enough, my dad still has to raise hundreds of thousands of people, not only domestic, but also abroad, my dad also has no choice, can only rely on the relationship, go to the bank for loans, sell property, sell part of the shares.

In fact, the company's stock market plummeted, and the shares were not worth much.

At the same time, the company that has been against my dad all the year round took the opportunity to grab business, grabbed business, and secretly ate the shares of my dad's company and wanted to buy my dad's company.

There was also a crisis within the company, and I wanted funds for a while, and my dad found that there were many colleagues in the company who were full of private pockets, shorted public funds, and ran away with donations.

After a year, my dad insisted on the bankrupt company to survive so far, looking for friends to borrow money, has owed a lot of debts, the company's staff have left, only more than 100 loyal personnel to survive, in order to make up for the supermarket this field, my dad will be real estate, tourism and other areas abandoned.

Unexpectedly, the customers who had the accident made a big deal and sued my dad in an attempt to get more compensation.

My dad really couldn't do anything but sell his last shares, sell the villa we had lived in for more than 20 years, sell all the family property, and file for bankruptcy protection.

Originally, my dad and my mom discussed it and didn't tell me about it first, thinking that I was under a lot of academic pressure and couldn't put pressure on me anymore.

I came back tonight because I was told that I was going to move, to a newly developed commercial area in Jiangbei, where property prices were slightly cheaper.

Before I thought about it, my brother slipped out for a while.

My mom told me that my dad knew everything I was doing at school, but he never interfered, he respected me and knew my temper.

My mom told me that the last time I came home, my dad saw that I was cleaning the house, cooking, and really making money, and he happily took the instant noodles I bought to Paris, ate them for several days, and praised me for my intelligence and ability.

My mom told me that my dad learned that I had made progress in my studies, and that I had slowly risen from more than 20 in the class to less than 10, and my dad was very happy to give out red envelopes to everyone in the company to celebrate my academic progress.

By the time my mom was finished, I had eaten a plate of fruit and drank two glasses of milk, but I didn't say a word.

After she left the room, I couldn't hold back my sobs, my chest was choked with grief, and it was very uncomfortable.

Even though I was so sad that I covered my mouth and cried all night, I didn't cry out loud, but the next day, I still got up early to help pack my luggage and move.

No one ever told me how to get through such a sad day, and no one knew how I got through this night, I just knew that I gritted my teeth and continued to talk to my family with a pretended to be nothing, and I firmly believed that these days would get through and life would get better and better.

Anyway, the time in the future is still so long, the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village, who knows what miracles will be found in the next moment?

Basically, that's growth.

The new home has no front yard and backyard, no greenery, no garage, no more luxury cars from my dad's collection, no bathtub, no pool, no swings, no roof, no study, no big dining table, no fully equipped kitchen.

The new home is very small, very narrow, only two bedrooms and a living room with a kitchen the size of a balcony, and a narrow bathroom, the bathroom can only be used as a bathroom, my mother and they sleep in a relatively small room, can only put down a bed, a bedside table, and a simple wardrobe, that is cloth, my brother and I have a slightly larger room, can put down a wooden bed, I sleep in bed, my brother sleeps in the bed, in addition to a desk and wardrobe, the living room only has a desktop TV, a slightly old second-hand sofa, and a vertical refrigerator.

In the previous house, even if there was a party of hundreds of people, I felt that the room was empty, but now, with four people in the new house, I feel that it is difficult to move an inch.

Still, my mom cleaned up her new home and bought a few potted plants to put on the balcony, on the desk in our room, and on the table in the living room.

Although our family is small, our family is very warm and happy to sit next to each other on the sofa and watch TV.

My dad has to deal with the rest of the company, my mom rented a shop downstairs, re-engaged in the old business, made clothes for people, and bought clothes, my brother came back from abroad to transfer back, studying in an ordinary junior high school in Jiangbei, close to the new home, no accommodation, saved accommodation fees, my dad bought a bicycle for my brother, he can ride a bicycle to and from school every day, this way of going to school, I think it's very good, I used to envy those day students riding bicycles, on the way home, partners can chat, sing, how beautiful, This kind of good thing happened to my brother, and he should be happy.

However, he was not happy.

He said he wanted to go back to Paris, but he didn't dare to mention it to my dad.

I asked him, "Why do you want to go back?" Is China bad? ”

"Sister, if your brother-in-law is not in the same school as you, can you be happy?"

Suddenly, I remembered how he had begged me for that bouquet of roses in Paris.

I laughed, "That's it?" That's not easy, if you study hard and go to a university abroad, won't you be able to be with your little girlfriend again? ”

"Sister, last time my brother-in-law said that he was one level higher than you, you will still part ways after all, you shouldn't be able to go to the same school as your brother-in-law, right? Also, now that you are in the middle of the road, will your brother-in-law dislike you? ”

"The fat man won't dislike me, you better think about yourself." I smacked his head hard.

The new home is settled, and the weekend is over.

My mom cooked some food, put it in an insulated lunch box, and told me to take it back to school, and then my dad drove me back to school in that Mercedes.

This time it was my turn to stand at the school gate, watch my dad hobbling back to the car, and then wave to me and signal me to go back, but I nodded but didn't turn around, he couldn't help me, so he got into the car and drove away.

In the past, I hated my father, thinking that he was too restrictive of my freedom, he always ignored my wishes, forced me to study business, and always warned me to learn to live independently, the world is difficult, life is not easy, and sooner or later he will not be able to ensure my life is stable.

Now that I'm free, he can't take care of it, and he really can't keep me safe.

At this moment, I wish I could make money like Wen Jiaxin, so that I could help my father, so that his empire built from scratch would not collapse, and the home where he had lived for more than 20 years would be kept, and that my mother would still be the same Mrs. Kuo who did not worry about oil and salt, so that my brother could have a good teaching.

In the end, I'm not Wen Jiaxin, and I don't have much ability.

Suddenly, I understood.

In fact, it's not that the father doesn't love enough, it's just that often, the role of the father itself can only show his love for his children in other places, and those places that we can't see when we are young.

When you see that he is suddenly white-headed, hunchbacked, and no longer able to work, you understand.

Father, he is protecting you with his life, but you can't see it.

Back at the dormitory, Tong Lele was pleasantly surprised by the food I brought back, and immediately called Wen Jiaxin to come over to our dormitory to eat together.

At this time, Gu Beichen called me.

I walked to the balcony to answer the phone: "I'm in the dormitory." ”

"Have you eaten?"

"While I'm eating, my mom has prepared a meal for me."

"No part of me? Milou happened to be hungry too. ”

"Well, the meal is only for three people." I'm a little distressed.

Gu Beichen chuckled over there: "Isn't it right? Me, you, and Milou. ”

"I've already called Lele, and Jiaxin ate it together."

"Funny to you, you're in the dormitory, this meal, I already knew that Milu and I didn't have a mouth."

I looked at the crimson sunset from afar, and I was always in a bad mood: "Fatty, where are you?" I want to see you. ”

"Come down, Milou and I are downstairs in your dormitory, and there is takeout."

It doesn't matter if I'm the daughter of the old lady or not, it doesn't matter, in life, there is a warm home, there are three or two friends, there are people who love each other, it is enough.

I told Gu Beichen about the family, and he just hugged me and told me all the stupid things in his childhood.

For example, he was punished by his grandfather for standing and resting while his grandfather was not paying attention, and once, as soon as his grandfather turned around, he hurriedly relaxed his legs, but his grandfather turned around and yelled, and he was so frightened that he was unsteady and sat in the trash can.

Also, he was so hungry in the middle of the night that he went into his kitchen to steal food, and was beaten as a thief by the servants of the house.

The moonlight was hazy, I was amused by Gu Beichen and laughed, and the tears of laughter came out, and I couldn't tell if I was happy or sad?

In the middle of the night, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, because Gu Beichen was a junior in high school, I was afraid of disturbing his sleep and affecting his class, I didn't dare to call him, I was bored and played with my mobile phone, brushed Weibo, and read the stickers.

When I was sad for a while, I wrote a decisive breakup letter.

I don't know much about the situation between Qin Shen and Liu Xiaozhi, I only know that the concubine is intentional, and Lang is ruthless.

wrote "There is fate in life, why bother with fetters?" Thank you for your efforts, but I can't afford it. I will not look back, and you will not think again. Qin Shen. ”

Early in the morning, I went for a morning jog.

Sure enough, Qin Shen came again.

He looked refreshed: "Good morning, Lin Lu." ”

I jogged: "The breakup letter has been written, and I just took advantage of no one to put it in Liu Xiaozhi's desk." ”

"You really wrote it?" Qin Shen looked horrified.

I was puzzled, stopped and looked at him: "Didn't you give me money?" ”

"I thought you wouldn't be able to write about your relationship with her." His expression became a little strange.

"What do you mean?" I approached him: "Qin Shen, are you playing with me?" ”

Could it be that he and Liu Xiaozhi didn't break up at all? That's why Liu Xiaozhi didn't come to me? No, he doesn't look like this.

Qin Shen's expression was a little complicated: "No, this matter, you continue to run in the morning, and I'll go get the breakup letter back,"

"Qin Shen, what's the matter with you?" I stepped forward and blocked his way.

He frowned, and glanced away: "You have written the breakup letter, and you have to show it to me, I am satisfied, then I don't worry." ”

"Don't worry, please ask me to write for you, you are sick, right?" I'm a little angry.

"Lin Lu, I won't tell you first, I'm going to get the breakup letter back."

"You can't get it back, since you don't like Liu Xiaozhi, whether the breakup letter is well written, as long as it shows that you want to break up, isn't it? How can a breakup be so complicated? If you don't like it, you don't like it ”

Qin Shen said anxiously: "Lin Lu, you don't know the situation here, forget it, I shouldn't be looking for you." ”

A nameless fire burst out of my chest, and I was indignant: "What the hell do you mean? ”
