Chapter 338: Twenty-five years, ten minutes
In the afternoon, Guan Luo asked someone to move some of Tang Jingcheng's things from her apartment, in fact, she also moved some clothes and necessary daily necessities that she needed to wear in the season, and the rest were not lacking in the house anyway.
After arriving at Guan's house, Guan slightly coaxed Tang Jingcheng to go upstairs to take a nap, and the doctor said that she was weak and needed more rest.
She has indeed been lazy recently, probably because of her pregnancy, and she can fall asleep after changing into comfortable clothes.
Guan Luo sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her sleeping face, curly hair, small and fair face, and the corners of her lips were slightly curled because of her sleeping breathing.
He was a little puzzled, this girl was almost thirty years old, why did she still look like a child sometimes?
The child who has a smelly and hard temper and always worries him!
After Guan Luo went downstairs and explained some things to Ning Bo, Ning Bo was clear in his heart, knowing that Tang Jingcheng had a different status in Guan Luo's heart, and now she was pregnant again, and sooner or later she would be the mistress of this house.
"Ninth Young Master, don't worry, as long as Miss Shen is in the house for a day, she will definitely be served here. I have already arranged everything you told me in the morning, and I will pay special attention to Miss Shen's food and clothing in the future. ”
Ning Bo has been in Guan Mansion for so many years, and Guan Luo is naturally relieved of him.
"Thank you, bother."
"Ninth Young Master, where are you talking about this, I will treat Miss Shen as a person in the house in the future." Nimber is also thoughtful, and his words are not leaky.
Guan slightly pursed his lips and smiled.
"Don't call Miss Shen in the future, she doesn't believe Shen."
"......" Nymber paused.
In fact, Ning Bo had already guessed it before, if it weren't for the girl Guan Luo back then, he wouldn't have been so concerned about her, but after all, it was his private matter, and Ning Bo never asked.
Now that Guan Luo said so, Nimber was able to confirm it. He bowed his head slightly, and his face was as serious as ever.
"Ninth Young Master, I understand."
“……”
Understand what? Guan Luo smiled: "I have something to go out in the afternoon, and I should come back for dinner in the evening." After speaking, he looked upstairs again, "When she wakes up in a while, you let..."
"I know, the Ninth Young Master has already explained everything just now, don't worry." Nimber had a steady, serious face.
Guan Luo could only use his fingers to scoop the end of his nose, well, now it seems that he is verbose.
Su Hongzhi was finally willing to see Su Du.
According to the regulations, he could only say a few words in words through a layer of glass, and Su Jietuo walked to win a meeting in the visitation room.
The prison where Su Hongzhi was held was a little far away from the city, so Su decided to put aside all his work and entertainment in the afternoon, and went directly from the company, driving by himself without a driver.
It was almost two o'clock when he arrived, and someone brought Su Du into a small visitation room, where the vision was very dark, a long table, two chairs, four white walls, and a small window near the top of the white wall, and the window was equipped with iron bars.
The light from the outside shone in through the small window, and one of the lights and shadows happened to be cast on the long table.
"Mr. Su, you wait here for a while, and someone will bring it to you in a while." The person who brought Su Du in closed the door and went out quickly, and Su Du was the only one left in the cramped visiting room.
He looked around, leaning wearily back in his chair, and in front of him was the light and shadow, golden, like a knife that had slashed into the darkness.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, a very painful period of torment, there was finally the sound of footsteps at the door, mixed with the sound of chains dragging on the concrete floor, the sound was very slow and heavy, and it could be seen that the footsteps were of the same frequency, and there seemed to be an echo in the narrow and long corridor.
Su Jue closed his eyes and stood up from the table with his knees propped up.
The door opened, and the first to walk in was a prison guard, holding the door in front of him.
"Come in."
The light in the corridor shone in with the shadow of the door, and Su Hongzhi was led in by another prison guard, Su Jue moved his gaze with difficulty, closed his eyes, and his body shook unconsciously......
That's twenty-five years.
Twenty-five years ago, Su Jue was thirteen years old, and he was also led into the door of Su's house in this way.
He still remembered the scene when he saw Su Hongzhi, when his mother had just died, and he had no other relatives in Yunling, and the funeral was organized by the little sister who "worked" with his mother in the dance hall, and he bought a shoddy coffin and urn, which was very simple.
Su Hongzhi arrived near the end of the funeral, and later Su Jue learned that it was his mother who gave Su Hongzhi's phone number to a good sister before leaving, and asked her to contact him after she left.
At that time, Su Hongzhi's car drove directly to the door of the rental house, and he remembered that it should be a black Mercedes-Benz.
In the eighties and nineties, anyone in an inland city could have a Santana, and Mercedes-Benz was even rarer.
The so-called neighbors are actually girls in the dance hall and sauna, and the world has long been implementing 369 and so on, and what kind of people live anywhere.
Su Jie's mother came from this class, and the people around her were all people from this class, but Su Hongzhi's arrival caused quite a stir.
At that time, Su Hongzhi was in his thirties, just the best age for men, with suits and leather shoes, and his instruments were magnificent.
That time, Su Hongzhi also brought two assistants over, a man and a woman, after entering, the eyes of the women in the room seemed to glow, some of them had already served tea and water to find a stool, and some of them directly handed over their "business cards" to the past, but Su Hongzhi didn't even look at it, didn't take water and didn't sit on a stool, Ling Yan's eyes swept around the crowded hall, and saw a thin figure kneeling in the corner.
At that time, Su Jue was still wearing a big filial piety robe, and the thirteen-year-old child knelt alone in front of the coffin to burn paper, and his thin figure was held by the light in the brazier.
He seems to have a world of his own, and he doesn't ask who comes or who leaves in the house.
Su Hongzhi stood beside him for two or three minutes, Su Jue had no expression on his face, just mechanically threw the paper money into the brazier, and then used a wooden stick to stir it, he couldn't see sadness, and of course he didn't cry.
It's a strange child, this is Su Hongzhi's first impression of him.
"You're Ah Jue?" Su Hongzhi asked first, his voice was not high, and his voice was so cold that he couldn't hear any intimacy.
Aside from this blood relationship, they were two strangers who had nothing to do with each other.
Su Jue didn't immediately raise his head when he heard the voice, but just pressed the paper that was about to fly with the wooden stick in his hand, and a spark came out and reddened his eyes.
"Ah Du, call someone, call Dad!" There was a woman next to her who reminded her sharply.
Su Jue moved at this time, and took out the red-hot wooden stick from the brazier, and a few wisps of soot just fell on the shiny leather shoes in front of him.
Maybe it's just a reflex. Su Hongzhi immediately retracted his feet back, and there was obvious displeasure on his face.
It was this subtle reaction that made Su Zhi raise his head, and when he saw that Su Hongzhi had retreated to about two or three meters away from him, he stood up with a wooden stick.
A room full of people looked at the father and son.
"Shouting people!" Someone next to him reminded that probably no one expected that Ah Jue, who was raised by a dancing girl, would have such a decent father.
"Hurry up and call Daddy!" There are people on the side who are constantly urging, as if the whole world is waiting for their father and son to recognize each other.
Su Jie's gaze, which had been silent, also moved, and he looked at Su Hongzhi twice, and was about to speak. But before the word "Dad" could come out of his vocal cords, Su Hongzhi raised a hand: "No need." Then he shook his shoes again, and shook them several times in a row, but the soot that fell from the upper of the shoes still couldn't be shaken clean.
"it's dirty..."
Su decided to hear Su Hongzhi scolding secretly, and the two assistants next to him probably heard it, one of the male assistants immediately pulled out a clean square scarf from his bag, Su Hongzhi snatched it and bent down to wipe the upper of his shoe clean, but casually threw the square scarf into the brazier on the side.
All movements are done quickly, accurately and in one go, as if instinctively.
The woman standing in the room didn't know who "snorted".
Su Jie's expression moved slightly, and he quietly watched the beautiful square scarf turn into ashes in the brazier, and the "Dad" that was almost on his lips still couldn't be shouted.
It didn't come out at the time, and it didn't come out again for twenty-five years.
Su Jue has always only called Su Hongzhi's father, and as a last resort, the two words of respect and respect reveal a clear alienation.
"I came today to ask your opinion, that woman ......" Su Hongzhi said halfway, his eyes narrowed at the coffin next to him, and then changed his words: "Your mother, your mother is gone, what are you going to do in the future?" ”
"What else can he do? A teenager knows a fart! ”
The one who grabbed the talk was Su Jie's mother's good sister before her death, and Su Hongzhi's phone call was made by her.
She originally thought that this man was willing to come with some conscience, but now it seems that it is probably not like that.
Seeing that Su Hongzhi didn't squeak, the woman simply walked up to him with her waist in her hands: "What do you say?" Ah Jue grew up so big and followed her mother, her mother didn't bother you, and you didn't give their mother and son a penny, now Ah Jue is in junior high school, obedient and sensible, you have a son for nothing, no matter how this account is calculated, it should be all you..."
The posture of the woman who came out on the occasion was very forceful, and the other sisters next to her also echoed it, and Su Hongzhi was surrounded by them in the middle, his face was ugly.
Seeing this, the male assistant next to him blocked him and propped his arms: "What are you doing, you want to rebel?" ”
"It's not necessary to rebel, it's just to remind this Boss Su that he should fulfill his obligation to be a father!" Someone in the crowd interjected again, and then burst into laughter.
Su Hongzhi's face was pale, and he wondered how he could go to such a place to be ridiculed by a group of unclean girls.
He shouldn't be the one who will appear here, in his eyes, this room full of women, even the child standing in front of him, should not be something that will appear in his glorious life!
A failure, a failure!
"Mr. Su. The women who come out of that kind of place don't have any quality, don't be like them! The female assistant next to her patted her on the back, and Su Hongzhi glared at her, "You deal with it, I'm too lazy to tell them!" ”
It's really too lazy to tell them, and it's disgusting to even look at them more.
When the women heard this, they made even more trouble.
"Yo~ You're too lazy to tell us? Yes, yes, you are noble, you are rich, you are the big boss, we are all dirty goods sold everywhere with two legs between our butts. Why did you come here because you didn't like it? I can't take care of my lower body, and I have a whole son coming out, is it too late to dislike it now? ”
"It's like, don't think that a few stinky money is great, really think that everyone is rare?"
“… Anyway, Ah Jue is here today, and he has to follow you after his mother dies, if you don't care about it, we will jointly go to the court to sue you, see if your big boss can afford to lose this person! ”
"That must be unaffordable, think about Boss Su is also a person with status, he actually gave birth to a son with a woman in the dance hall, this matter is really going to make a fuss, it is estimated that he can't hang his face, and I heard that Boss Su is married, and the child is not a few years younger than Ah Jue, right?"
A group of women, you say a word, and they launched a siege on Su Hongzhi, Su Hongzhi was so angry on the spot that he turned around and pulled Su Jie's arm.
Su Jue was still young and thin at the time, and he hadn't slept for days, so he pulled the whole person to the side, the filial piety hat on his head fell off, and his clothes were disheveled.
But Su Hongzhi was wearing a decent suit, with a black face, and was aggressive.
"Let me ask you, do you plan to go alone or go back with me? If I arrange for you to go abroad, and all the expenses abroad will be paid by me, I will also send a reliable person to take care of your daily life and food. ”
This condition sounds very tempting, and normal people will agree.
The room was quiet all of a sudden, and Su Hongzhi stopped after asking and waited for Su Jie's answer.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Su Jie's face, and Su Zhu still had no expression. pursing his lips, his dark eyes swirled around Su Hongzhi's face.
Su Hongzhi was heartbroken by his gaze, and he was only a thirteen-year-old child.
How can a thirteen-year-old have such a sharp look?
"Don't bare the club, but talk! If I want to, I'll have to get you a visa and find a school, but by the way, don't you even have a passport? There's a lot of work to do in the back, so hurry up and give an explanation! ”
Su Hongzhi was eager to send Su Du out at that time, but out of sight was clear, and he thought that Su Du would definitely choose to go abroad, after all, such a good treatment. But who would have thought that this kid just blocked Su Hongzhi's hand, straightened the collar that was being pulled by him, stood up straight, and tried to raise his head to meet his eyes.
"And what if I'm going back with you?"
This was the first thing Su Jue said to Su Hongzhi, the first request he made, it was unexpected, he actually chose a path that others thought was the most difficult. Su Hongzhi was stunned for a while, is this kid stupid? What can I get by going back with him?
Except for endless cold eyes, invective, grievances, nothing.
What's more, Su Hongzhi had already married his wife at that time, and Su Zhan was about to enter junior high school at that time, and the magnificent Su Mansion was like a cold cage for a thirteen-year-old child, he knew it, but he still chose to go back with Su Hongzhi.
Su Hongzhi didn't answer for a while, and a woman next to him persuaded him: "Ah, don't be stupid, how good it is to go abroad, you have food, accommodation and a good school, and you will be a master when you come back in the future." ”
This is the thinking of ordinary people, but Su is absolutely unwilling.
"If you can take me back, that's the best! If you can't take me back, then you can go, I can live alone! Su Jue's attitude was resolute, and after speaking, he squatted down and poked the paper in the brazier with a wooden stick that was about to be burned.
A few women next to him were chattering, Su Hongzhi was very unwilling, but he couldn't wipe off his face, and besides, he couldn't really leave the thirteen-year-old child alone, and he couldn't mix it up if it was to spread in the future.
"Okay, since you want to go back with me, I'll leave for a while, but I have something to say first, usually I'm very busy at work, I don't have much time at home, you take care of yourself, you have a younger brother over there, and I also have a wife, if you want, call her Mom, or not..."
Su Hongzhi stared at Su Jie's always cold face: "Forget it, let's talk about this later, you go and pack up your things, and I will send someone to pick you up at night." ”
Su Hongzhi was about to leave after speaking, and the two assistants followed him out one left and one right.
Quickly walked to the door, Su Jie, who had been standing in front of the brazier and did not move, suddenly ran over.
"Wait!"
Su Hongzhi turned his head, with a straight suit, a calm face, and the assistants on both sides also had similar expressions to him.
"What else?" There was obvious impatience in his tone.
Su Jue breathed a sigh of relief, and the thirteen-year-old child walked up to him with a wooden stick in his hand, raised his head, and pleaded with a little imperceptible in his voice: "Since they are all here, do you want to see my mother?" ”
"Your mother?" Su Hongzhi was stunned again, his eyes drifted over and swept the coffin, and coughed: "No need, there's nothing to see, I still have something to do, let's do this first!" ”
After that, he left, and the two assistants hurriedly followed.
Su Hongzhi walked in the front, and Xiao Leng's back was a head higher than the assistant behind him.
At that time, Su Jue was standing at the entrance of the dimly lit hall, with his mother's coffin behind him and Su Hongzhi in front of him.
It wasn't until the evening that Su Hongzhi's people came back, it was the male assistant who went during the day, and when he saw Su Jie, he only carried the schoolbag in his hand, and he didn't take the rest of the luggage.
"Throw all this junk away, and there's no place to put it there." Although the words were light, it was full of hurt in the ears of Su Jie, who was only thirteen years old at the time, and in the end, Su Du rushed to bring a few sets of change of clothes, including a small box left by his mother before she died.
The box contained a passbook with a small amount of money, a photo album, and a BB machine.
At that time, the BB machine was also considered a valuable item, but Su Jue's mother kept it because the BB machine was something left to her by Su Hongzhi.
The driver drove the car all the way to the entrance of the Su house, a very beautiful European-style villa, with warm lights inside.
Su Jue didn't feel that his heart lit up at that time.
At night, Su Hongzhi is usually upstairs in the study. The male assistant took him up directly, the heavy door was pushed open, and there was a complete set of rosewood furniture inside, and Su Hongzhi was standing in front of a row of Duobao Pavilions, holding a jade artifact in his hand.
"Coming?"
Hearing the movement, Su Hongzhi didn't look up, and took a magnifying glass to look at the jade carefully.
Su Jue didn't make a sound, but the male assistant replied: "Here, Mr. Su, do you see...?" ”
Su Hongzhi barely glanced over and saw the boy standing next to the male assistant, wearing a half-worn school uniform. With a schoolbag on his back and an iron box in his hand.
The figure looks quite thin, but not thin.
"If you come, take him out first, his room is on the first floor, and in the afternoon he has asked the nanny to pack up a guest room that is not used, and he will live there in the future." He said these words to the assistant, as if he was arranging something that made him very upset, and he didn't want to hand over the building directly to Su Jie, and after explaining, he began to look at the jade with a magnifying glass.
Seeing that his attitude was not enthusiastic, the assistant didn't say anything, and was about to go out after pulling Su Jie, but he heard Su Hongzhi shouting behind him again: "Wait a minute!" ”
The man in front of Duobao Pavilion finally walked over, and Su Jue saw that the piece of jade he was holding in his hand was finely carved and delicate, and the person holding the jade was also wearing a well-tailored shirt, which looked even more imposing in front of the whole set of rosewood furniture.
"Mr. Su, what else do you command?"
Su Hongzhi didn't speak, and paced in front of Su Jie.
Su Jue raised his head and met his gaze, and he had some expectations at that time, thinking that he was going to say something to himself, but Su Hongzhi just raised his hand and ripped off the other black seals on his sleeve.
"This filthy thing is not allowed in the door, bad luck!"
A sentence of "bad luck" shocked Su Zhi's mouth, gritted his teeth, and opened his eyes again, twenty-five years of cold and humiliation, things have changed, and it is no longer the cold study.
The shiny rosewood furniture is gone, the Duobao Pavilion is gone, and the man who stood in front of the shelf with a calm attitude is gone.
In front of him was the table in the visitation room, and the light from the iron windows spread on the dappled tabletop.
"Go in, your son has come to see you!"
The prison guard pushed Su Hongzhi, and he choked forward a few steps with his body bent, and the chains on his feet made a clanging sound of rubbing.
Su Jue took two steps to the table, wanting to help, but in the end he couldn't reach out.
Su Hongzhi stood firm on his own and walked to the table, where Su Jue stood and glanced at him.
Twenty-five years.
Twenty-five years ago, the two looked at each other in the same way.
It's just that Su Hongzhi was still the president of Su who was on the dominant side, standing in front of Duobao Pavilion and holding priceless jade, but now he has become a prisoner. There are chains on his hands and feet.
It took twenty-five years for fate to finally change the position of the father and son.
How ironic!
"Sit down, time is limited!" The prison guard who opened the door pushed Su Hongzhi, pushed him to the chair opposite, and then looked up at Su Ju again.
"Mr. Su, you can only talk for ten minutes at most, and we are embarrassed if we have more, you can grasp it yourself!" The attitude is a 180-degree shift.
Su Jue frowned, ten minutes was a bit short, besides, Su Hongzhi was like this...... He glanced at the person in the chair opposite: "Can you be accommodating and untie the things on his hands and feet?" ”
"I'm afraid this is not very in line with the rules!" The two prison guards looked at each other and smiled, "It has already broken the rules by arranging for you to meet like this, I hope Mr. Su can understand and don't make it difficult for the people below us." ”
When it comes to this, Su must not be reluctant.
Never mind.
"Then let's go out and talk!" The two prison guards came out of the visiting room, and when the door was closed, one of them leaned over again and reminded: "Mr. Su, hurry up, ten minutes!" ”
Twenty-five years, ten minutes.
Su Jue sneered and sat down on the chair across the table.
That's enough!
