Chapter 116: The Scales Are Uneven

He Mansion.

Xin Mu walked out with freshly washed Chilean cherries, the bright colors of which were mouth-watering.

"Why are you in the mood to call the children back for dinner today?" She twisted the largest and reddest one and gently put it into He Zhanting's mouth, who was reclining on the recliner.

As soon as he took a bite, the sour taste filled his mouth, and He Zhanting couldn't help but shrink his shoulders and frown.

"Sour, this kind of medium-looking is not necessarily delicious, or you have to pick a darker color to be sweet." Instead of answering his wife's question, he seemingly casually selected another one from the fruit bowl and put it into his mouth, making a bar-chirping sound characteristic of the delicious food.

"Oh, why do I think sour spots are more delicious." Xin Mu chose another one according to his own criteria, and looked at it almost contrivedly in front of his eyes, and the red nail polish and the cherry were instantly mixed together, and it was difficult to distinguish between them.

He Zhanting looked out the window, and the world was covered with a layer of mist due to the cold.

"People are old, when they get cold, they feel uncomfortable, the temperature has plummeted in the past few days, and my shoulders and knees feel very piercing, and it seems that I can't accept old age."

"I suddenly feel that I am old, you are still young, but you usually lack exercise, and you must find a teacher for you in the spring, urging you to run and run and keep fit, you can't sit or lie down all day."

He Zhanting smiled, his expression was a little vicissitudes.

"How is the project progressing, don't wait for me to drive to the west and still haven't made any names."

"Smack!" Xin Mu said and fluttered on his mouth with disgust, "It's almost the New Year, and you still say such unlucky words, knock on the table three times, bah." ”

He Zhanting did so, knocked on the coffee table so-so, and snorted three more times, but coughed.

Xin Mu thoughtfully slapped his back and said: "This year has actually made quite rapid progress, and the pure blood has been easily extracted, but there is still some rejection when doing the invertase reaction, and victory is just around the corner when breaking through this pass." ”

"I didn't expect that an ancient book that I accidentally got from the British Museum a few years ago cost you so much effort, seriously, did you doubt the contents of it?"

"I believe in eternal life, and I believe in the story of the peach blossom jellyfish. Experiments have been done one after another, and many arguments in ancient books have been confirmed, indicating that this is not groundless, and it will definitely be realized. ”

"If you keep being so busy, it's not much fun to live too long."

"You really don't look good today, and you say frustrating words one after another." Xin Mu put the fruit aside and brought the tea again, "The laboratory is full of experts, and they are all confident in the experiment, how can you doubt it." ”

"I don't doubt it, it's just that I feel distressed to see that you are busy." He Zhanting touched her face, and she covered his hand.

"I'm not tired, I do these for this family, for Ogu. When we master the core technology, medical institutions around the world will come to us with money, and then the He family will not only raise their eyebrows in Lucheng. This is the glorious thing of the ancestors, and it is also the act that will propel you to the great men of the world's celebrity generation, and there is not a day when I am not looking forward to that moment. ”

"I know that the profits of medicine are higher than those of arms, but I support you to engage in this project just to live a long life and enjoy prosperity as a family, and I have never thought about how much money I will make, let alone saving the common people and benefiting mankind."

"You say what you say, you are the head of the family." Xin Mu kissed the back of his hand coquettishly.

"There is nothing wrong with the volunteers who participated in the experiment, let alone leak their mouths." He Zhanting closed his eyes.

There was obvious panic on Xin Mu's face, but he calmly dealt with this problem in just half a second.

"Don't worry, we are secretly recruiting volunteers, and we only say in private that we are engaged in classified research in life sciences, and they dare not talk nonsense if we have government approval as evidence. Besides, the return they got was ridiculously high, and they had confidentiality agreements with each other, so nothing could happen. ”

"That's good. I'm only responsible for funding, and I don't want to care about scientific research for a long time span. ”

"Don't worry."

"By the way, what did you just come out of and ask me?"

"I said, why did you suddenly think to call the children back for dinner?"

"Tell them something, it's more convenient at home than outside, and you can listen to it."

He Zhanting said as he propped himself up and walked towards the study, leaving Xin Mu alone with the pot of warm frozen top oolong.

When Qiu's mother brought the last dish, He Chong hurried to the company after finishing the company's business. After greeting everyone warmly, he hugged Xin Musa and got coquettish.

"Mom, I heard that you got a string of transfer crystals, borrow me to wear them?"

Xin Mu touched his head lovingly, and smiled at He Yina: "My young master can't afford anything, so he actually asks me for a bargain." ”

"Mom, it's not that he can't afford it, it's that he knows that your string of beads has a background, and he can't change the gold and silver mountains. If you want general things, Chong'er must buy one car at a time, play for two days and throw one car at a time, as for running in front of you. ”

"Or my sister understands me, hehe." He Chong hugged Xin Mu tighter, like a koala that only relied on skin, "Lend me a few days to play." ”

"You kid, you're not interested in the news, but you're well-informed about what treasures are there. My string of beads is indeed rare, and it is not comparable to the craftsmanship of the world, and it cannot be measured by money. Such a treasure, how can you give it to me if you want it? ”

"Mom, just take pity on me, I want to transfer too."

"How do you turn around, which one of Lucheng's age is better than you?"

"Good fate is good fate, that's what you and your father rewarded. I'm in charge of the world now, and when I always have some headaches, can you bear to watch me exhausted for a small advertising agency? ”

"Ha, you kid, it's different when you enter the company, your mouth is much more slippery than before." Xin Mu hesitated for a moment, "I said that I just borrowed it, and I had to pay it back after a few days of playing." ”

He Chong was about to respond, but he didn't expect He Yina to jump out again.

"Does he have the word 'borrow' in his dictionary?"

Xin Mu looked at him with a pretended remorse.

"Sister, did you provoke you?"

He Yina lowered her head and smiled, a strand of curly hair just brushing her cheeks, extremely charming.

"I mean, when Mom takes out the beads, don't think about going back, the bigger things in the car and house before are all gone and never returned, so why be reluctant to give up on a string of small crystals."

"Mom, you don't have to go back!" He Chong pursed his lips.

"I'll think about it again......" Xin Mu raised his head proudly.

Just as the three of them were talking and laughing, He Zhanting walked out of the study.

"Dad!" The siblings shouted in unison.

"Well, it's time to eat."

He Zhanting was dressed in home clothes, with slippers under his feet, and his majestic image in the past was folded in half, showing more of the kindness of the head of the family.

"Mother Qiu is tired today, such a table of dishes." He Yina raised her chopsticks and sighed.

"It's rare to eat at home and there are so many people, and Qiu's mother is also happy." Xin Mu said, got up and helped He Zhanting fill a bowl of soup first, "Your father is tired of eating those flashy things outside, and he still thinks that Qiu's mother's food is more appetizing." ”

"Mama Qiu is going to put on some plates and make some shapes, tsk, Michelin!" He Chong took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth and gave a thumbs up.

"Although you two were born into a family like ours and are richer than others, the rich family also has its shortcomings. It stands to reason that I should tell you to go home for dinner when you are usually free, but your mother and I are too busy, and you only have one table of dishes when you come back, and you don't have parents, and you can't call it a commonplace. He Zhanting drank the soup without looking at anyone's words.

He Yina hurriedly replied: "My parents are old, so it's better to worry less and rest more, especially Dad." The company's affairs are busy, you have to take care of your body, and if you can hand it over to me and Chong'er, just leave it to us, we will do our best. ”

"It's still my daughter who is considerate, knowing that I am strong on the outside, and I have already decided to quit."

He Zhanting's words were neither panicked nor slow, neither yin nor yang, neither hot nor cold, neither deep nor shallow, and no one present heard the meaning behind it.

"Dad, do you want to quit?" He Chong looked at him stunned and asked, "It's not okay to do such a big mess without you." ”

"This kid, I just praised you for being well-behaved, why did you say such stunned words?" Xin Mu noticed that He Zhanting's face changed slightly, and hurriedly started the round, "It's a loss that no outsiders hear, otherwise you will say that you don't care for your parents, and you just want to be lazy and enjoy your happiness." ”

"Originally, Dad pulled up Aogu's stall so big, who can control it, even if you want to retreat, you have to take your time. I'm not as smart and capable as my sister, I can learn everything as soon as I learn it, and if I want to throw something to me, it's not like I'm waiting to see me make a fool of myself. ”

He Yina took an abalone and put it in her father's bowl.

"Don't be afraid, and me, I still have some experience in all kinds of business in the company for so long. Besides, you can come back and ask your dad for advice, if you don't do it well, it's nothing, and you're afraid that you won't learn. ”

"Yes, Chong'er, there's nothing to worry about, no matter how bad it is, your sister is in front of you." Xin Mu said.

As they talked, they found that He Zhanting had been chewing the abalone silently without saying a word. Sensing the strangeness in the atmosphere, the three of them shut up at the same time.

He Zhanting smiled slightly, easing the tension.

"Your mother and your sister's words, you should think about it carefully, don't look like a big child all day long, it's time to have a snack."

He Chong pursed his lips, as if he knew that another round of criticism against himself was about to begin.

"The attitude is whether you are willing to fight for it, not whether you can break out and fight for it. Your sister is a girl who can stand alone, and you are also my species, why do you say no? ”

"I didn't say no. In terms of intelligence, I don't think I'm worse than you, but you are all more experienced than me, and it's normal for me to be worried. Just one Huanyu makes me tremble, this is not an accident, don't you have to train me and scold me and cut me hard. ”

Xin Mu tugged at He Chong's shirt under the table, suggesting that he should not rush.

"If you don't understand, you can ask your sister, you can ask me and ask your ......mother," He Zhanting said.

"Chong'er, be confident, your sister is doing a good job now, your sister and brother join forces, she will take you."

"But......" He Zhanting suddenly changed his words, with a serious and thoughtful look, "Your mother and I will retire sooner or later, and your sister will have to marry and have children sooner or later to enjoy the family life that belongs to a woman, you can't expect us to lead the way in the front and wipe your ass in the back." Although Aogu's business is branching and involved in various fields, it has a solid foundation, and it is not easy to do well and it is even more difficult to fail. As long as you don't get lazy, there's nothing you can't do. ”

The green beans on He Yina's chopsticks suddenly fell to the edge of the bowl, and she didn't have time to clean it up, staring at her father intently.

Xin Mu also noticed a hint of abnormality, and there was panic in his eyes.

Only He Chong hadn't figured out his father's purpose tonight, and he stupidly thought that this was another family banquet for his own meal.

"So I decided, let your sister hand over Lujiang No. 1 to you, practice this project well, and the real estate piece will be considered a master."

As soon as these words came out, Xin Mu only felt a slap on the head, and hurriedly objected: "No, Yina has been involved for so long, Chong'er took over halfway, her previous time was not in vain?" ”

"My daughter feels sorry for us, why don't you feel sorry for her." He Zhanting looked at He Yina, her smile at the moment was still beautiful but slightly stiff, "She has been studying since she was a child, and she has never played or fallen in love." After all, women are emotionally oriented, I don't want her to be called an old girl and a demon by others, she should pursue her own happiness. ”

Xin Mu was a little panicked, leaning forward slightly and almost touching the dishes and chopsticks.

"She's not in a hurry, Ina is in such good condition, it's okay to find the right man whenever she wants."

"That's because we told her not to rush, not that she volunteered. Maybe Ina herself has never faced her heart, once her job is reduced, she definitely wants to devote herself to a vigorous love, instead of dealing with stupid and picky customers all day long, this kind of satisfaction is something that career can't give her. Whenever I see someone else's daughter being hurt or spoiled, I feel sorry for her. Ina ......" He Zhanting turned his gaze to He Yina, his eyes flushed, "Dad told you I'm sorry, you're old, Dad shouldn't keep you busy anymore." Reduce your workload, go to the person who will accompany you for the rest of your life, and promise any kind of support you want. I only hope that you will find the true destiny as soon as possible, and I will let go of the worries that you and your mother should have. ”

"Zhan Ting!" Xin Mu shouted.

"Mom......" He Yina looked calmer than her mother, and raised her glass to get up, "I didn't expect my father to know women so well, and thank you for treating me as a woman today." I think you're right, I've never looked at my heart, what I want, what it will be, I really haven't thought about it. ”

"Ina, Dad has a drink with you." He Zhanting also stood up, and suddenly burst into tears, "Over the years, Dad has been exploiting your youth and constantly restraining you with higher requirements, first of all, I want to say thank you, thank you for your dedication to Agu." Second, Dad doesn't want you to be so tired all the time, no matter how delicate the flowers are without sunshine and rain, they will wither quickly, I want to see my daughter wearing a white wedding dress, with a face that captivates the country and the city, and holds the lifelong Langjun into her own small family. This is happiness, the happiness you deserve, Dad encourages you, supports you, and blesses you. ”

"Thank you, Dad, I understand, I understand." He Yina also began to cry.

"My daughter should be rich, Dad didn't let you enjoy the beauty you should enjoy at this age, I hope it's not too late for you to make this decision now."

"It's not too late, it's not too late."

The father and daughter said touching tears one after another, but Xin Mu fell into a heart-wrenching silence and couldn't extricate himself for a long time.

"Mom, I'm almost leaving, the beads ......" He Chong was still out of the situation, and when he turned around, he found that Xin Mu had already quietly cried.
