"Click-"

When the hand lightly pressed the wall lamp, the chandelier above the living room immediately lit up.

This was accompanied by a slightly harsh light and a fumes of dust coming in from the door as it was opened, and at first glance it was because it had been uninhabited for too long.

She first carefully placed her mother's urn in the room, then folded it out and immediately opened all the windows to let in the air.

"This is where you wanted to keep me?" Suddenly, a male voice came from behind him, and it was Wei Rong who spoke in a low voice.

As soon as he turned around, he saw him standing against the door, not entering or exiting at the entrance. He was tall and long, as if he was going to hold up the entire door frame, and he looked so heroic. It's just that his too light and casual tone makes people think that he seems to pass by accident.

When it comes to the word "baoyang", Mansheng now feels ridiculous, "I know, it's very small and old." ”

"Yes, indeed." Wei Rong said with a smile, his eyes swept around, and he had already looked around, "The degree of defeat of the property rights house in the past fifty years is also within the reasonable construction range of the current house." ”

"How do you know?" To her surprise, the house was the same apartment that had been built forty-seven years ago, when the Grandfather had bought it to make it easier for her mother to live in when she was in college.

"I'm sorry, but I happen to have a bachelor's degree in civil engineering." He explained the reason why he knew, which made the creeping come to his senses.

How could she forget that the person in front of her had an excellent mind and IQ, and was a high-ranking person who graduated from a first-class university, "If you learn from your business, can you know how old this house is by looking at the structure of the house?" ”

Wei Rong felt quite interesting about her words, "The house is not a person, it is just a place to shelter from the wind temporarily. ”

He was really calm and reasonable, and said, "This house, for me, has a different meaning. ”

"How?"

"This is the house that my mother lived in when she was in college, and my grandfather bought it on purpose. Later, after I went to school, I also lived here. "After my grandfather died, he left this house to me. ”

"It's also passed down from generation to generation." Wei Rong smiled, "So for you, it has extraordinary significance, even if others pay a high price to buy it, you won't sell it?" ”

"No, it won't." Mansheng affirmed.

"It's like your 300 acres of land, there should be a lot of people who have come to you to negotiate in the past two years, but you just won't let go." He naturally changed the subject.

When it comes to land, Mansheng will think of the involvement between them, "There are some things that can not be bought with money." A profit-seeking businessman like you, will you understand what cherishing is? ”

She looked directly at him, responding to the quick rebuttal between them, and made Wei Rong raise her eyebrows, "If you cherish it so much, why are you willing to exchange it." Is your cherishment just a lip service, and it is only worth such a few portions? ”

Like an uncompromising war, after a pause, Mansheng greeted him and said, "Because there are more cherished things, I will choose to let go." ”

Seeing her eyes burning, such a serious Akagi, Wei Rong smiled softly and asked, "Has anyone told you that being too stubborn is not a good thing?" ”

He wouldn't understand what her insistence was for, "You're not the first person to tell me that, but I won't listen, and you won't understand." ”

She is stubborn, and in Wei Rong's eyes, this stubborn confrontation is like the temptation of Eve, which makes people want to pick, "I don't need to understand, in short, your whole person belongs to me." ”

With a palpitation in his heart, he had slowly walked over.

Standing in front of her, Wei Rong leaned over and looked at her, "Every day, every night, every inch of my body will belong to me from now on." ”

His hand lifted and touched her hair, and his fingers stroked her cheek, "Say, how are you going to spend tonight, where to start?" ”

The chaotic memories jumped, it was his lingering fiery kisses, the unrelenting frantic sprint...... This made Creep shudder, and she stepped back, her hair slipping from his hands.

He didn't continue, just lowered his hand to look at her, and said with a wandering gaze, "I'll close the door!" ”

Even though she knew that she had attached her body to him, but at such a time, Mansheng would still feel uneasy, and before closing the door, she turned her head and asked, "Where do you live today?" ”

"Where do you live?" Wei Rong asked rhetorically.

"Of course I live here."

"So do I." His answer was so refreshing that he frowned, "But the conditions on my side are not very good......

"You can live with a woman, what am I afraid of as a man?" Wei Rong picked up the pillow on the sofa and put it aside, he sat down directly, that posture was too comfortable, very habitual.

He actually occupies the magpie's nest like this? Mansheng was stunned, and he said, "Don't worry, I'm not so clean." ”

"Not closed yet?" He said again, and Mansheng resigned himself to closing the door.

It was originally a comfortable small apartment, but at this moment, because of his arrival, it suddenly became cramped, and Mansheng didn't want to look at him like this, "I'll clean up this place." ”

"Feel free to do whatever you want." His generous echo.

Mansheng thought it was all weird, she put on her apron and began to do housework, and when she looked at him again, she was sitting and resting, but then got up and walked to the front of the bookshelf.

In the living room there is a large bookcase filled with many books.

"Are you studying Chinese?" He stood in front of the bookcase, holding a book in one hand and reading, when he suddenly asked.

Mansheng stopped, and then looked at it, the book he was holding was the textbook distributed by the school when she was enrolled in Yicheng University.

His fingers flicked over the entire row of old books on display, counting them one by one, "These are all "Theory of Language", "Book of Songs", "Chu Ci", "The Legend of the West Chamber", "Peony Pavilion", and the four famous works. ”

"Even if I read all the literature, I can't tell at a glance that this house has been built for nearly fifty years."

"So?"

"So, you don't have to pretend to praise me like that."

"I'm sincere, with your eloquence and reasoning ability, it's a pity to be buried for so long." Wei Rong smiled, and suddenly felt that it was a pleasure to be idle and quarrel with her, "I studied Chinese, why didn't I engage in related work?" Like a teacher, or an editor. ”

"I'm not as free as you, I can do whatever I want." ”

"Even if you couldn't before, haven't you started to choose again?" Wei Rong said, "It doesn't matter if the direction is wrong, no matter where you stop, it's always moving forward." ”

Mansheng bowed his head, but his words were still clear in his ears.

"You went to the company today, proposed to hold a board meeting, and set a definite date?" Flipping through books from time to time, Wei Rong asked.

On this point, Mansheng also has his own opinion, "Not yet, but I always have to let go first and let others know my decision." ”

Wei Rong sighed, "Then eldest lady, how can you be sure that the directors of the company you are talking about will obey you and attend the board of directors?" ”

This makes it difficult for Mansheng, everything is a hastily formed idea, and when it is time to put it into action, he realizes that the brush has fallen to a starting point, but he does not know if he can successfully sketch his own magnificent picture.

"I'll invite them!" ”

"It seems that this first battle is still to be fought." Wei Rong bowed his head, his eyes fell on the books, and sat back on the sofa, "My talented girl, you should also cook something for me to eat." In any case, the people live on food, and nothing can be done with an empty stomach. ”

“……”

The apartment that has not been lived in for a long time has long been without ingredients, only a roll of somen noodles that has not been opened. It was getting dark, and Mansheng was thinking about whether to go to the convenience store to buy something, otherwise how to solve the dinner became a problem.

She was about to speak, but there was a knock on the door outside.

"Open the door." Wei Rong called, and there was a moment of depression, why did she look like his servant?

When I opened the door, I saw two large men and another woman standing in the corridor.

The woman opened her mouth and smiled, "Miss Lin, hello, I am Fang Yizhen, Rong Shao's secretary." ”

"Hello." Mansheng said hello, and she recognized the other two, the assistant Zong Quan and the driver Ren Xiang.

The three of them entered the apartment, and Ren Xiang was still carrying a large shopping bag in his hand, which was full of ingredients.

Ren Xiang said, "Rong Shao, I bought something." ”

"Then you go cook it." Wei Rong commanded, and Ren Xiang went to the kitchen with the shopping bag.

Wei Rong said again, "Come and sit, take advantage of this time to talk about the next thing." ”

Zong Quan and Fang Yizhen walked over and took their seats, and there was still a vacant seat left next to Wei Rong, which was obviously reserved for Lin Mansheng.

Mansheng naturally walked up to him and sat down, Fang Yizhen praised, "Miss Lin, you are very clean here." ”

The apartment that had just been cleaned was filled with a faint fragrance in the air, and he said, "I just cleaned it." ”

"You clean?" Fang Yizhen was a little surprised.

Mansheng probably guessed that a secretary like her followed Wei Rong's side, and saw a lot of daughters like Liang Jinyang, and countless subordinates and entourages before and after, not to mention such a thing as cleaning the apartment herself.

Mansheng nodded, "I usually live alone. ”

"Rong Shao, do you need to have a butler for Miss Lin?" Fang Yizhen immediately asked, very professional.

Wei Rong said, "No. ”

Fang Yizhen was a little surprised, and Wei Rong smiled lightly, "Watching a woman busy in the house, her body curves are flexible and powerful, don't you think it's very beautiful?" ”

"......" was suddenly a little embarrassed, where is the beauty of this?

Fang Yizhen responded very seriously, "Yes." ”

"Well, you can talk about it." Wei Rong spoke slowly, "Who are the directors of the company, only choose people who can be put on the table and have a place at the top." ”

Mansheng finally understood that the reason he had summoned people was to discuss the matter of inviting directors. In the positive color, Mansheng said one by one, "Jinyue is headed by my father, and he is the chairman of the board of directors, and after that, there are three directors with foreign surnames, namely Director Chen, Director Xia, and Director Gao." ”

"My father's children, including me, were four in all, and each of them had a share. My younger brother Lin Yifan, he holds the most shares. Speaking of this, Wei Rong said, "He is your half-brother?" ”

"Yes." Mansheng responded, "Now he is the person in charge of Jinyue, the general manager of the company. It's just that because he is still young, his father and several directors of the board of directors only call him a manager in order to inspect him. ”

"Who else." Wei Rong asked faintly, "Except for these three directors." ”

"There's one more." Mansheng frowned and said, "It's Feng Qizhen." ”

"Tricky?" Wei Rong asked, ordinarily speaking, those who can be placed in the last place must be difficult to get along with.

"He's my mother's younger brother, he's my uncle." Mansheng replied, mentioning her brother-in-law Feng Qizhen, which made her brows furrowed even more, "For many reasons, there is no contact between us and him." It's just that my grandfather's family also raised money to enter Jinyue that year, so the shares have been retained. ”

As for the past, Mansheng only knows sporadically, and she is not willing to talk about it in front of outsiders.

After hearing this, Wei Rong said, "Since he still has shares, he is also one of the directors, and it is natural for you to go to him to discuss business." ”

"The other three directors, do you know where they live?" Wei Rong asked again.

Creeping shook his head, "I don't know. ”

Immediately, Wei Rong gave instructions, "Xiaoquan, go and check." Also, Xiao Zhen, prepare the invitation, remember, it is a formal letter. ”

"Yes." Both of them wrote it down.

At this time, Ren Xiang, who was busy in the kitchen, walked out and shouted, "Secretary Fang, come and help." Tolerance is less, and you can eat. ”

Amazed, they just sat down and talked for a while, and he had already made dinner?

When a table of dishes is placed in front of him, Mansheng has to marvel, it is so delicate and delicious, even the tableware is brand new, the kind of white jade-like porcelain plate, after placing the food, even a plate of ordinary seasonal vegetables look alive.

"Miss Lin, please take a seat." Fang Yizhen smiled and shouted, and Mansheng smiled at her, "Secretary Fang, you can sit down too." ”

"Miss Lin, when you dine, we don't sit together." Fang Yizhen told euphemistically.

I saw that the other two men were already standing on the side with great interest, Zong Quan pulled out a chair, Wei Rong slowly sat down, and Fang Yizhen also opened the chair in front of her, "Miss Lin, please take a seat." ”

Mansheng can only sit down, but in his apartment, he suddenly feels like he is in a strange place, like a high-end restaurant in a certain hotel, or attending someone's dinner, so formal.

On the other side, he said, "From now on, in front of outsiders, please remember your identity, you are the eldest lady of the Lin family, all the time." ”

Mansheng's eyes froze, a test had begun to kick off, and she sat upright and began to eat.

……

After dinner, the three of them packed up everything and said goodbye as if they had come.

The apartment was quiet again, and this meal made Mansheng feel so uncomfortable, and it was not a good feeling to be stared at to eat, or to be stared at by three people up close.

In addition, before leaving, the secretary Fang actually said, "Rong Shao, Miss Lin, good night to the two of you." ”

So, they are going to sleep together in a room.

Although this is not the first time.

"It's not early, we should also take a shower and sleep, you still have to be busy tomorrow." Wei Rong said, he looked at her with a smile and asked, "Do you want me to carry you to wash?" ”

"You wash first." "I still have to change the sheets and the quilt cover." ”

"If you don't live for too long, it's time to change it." To her surprise, he didn't force her to come with him anymore.

The towels and bathrobes and supplies for his bath were all sent by Secretary Fang just now, and Mansheng saw it and helped him take it to the bathroom, "I'll help you bring all your things in." ”

Wei Rong said, "Help me take off my clothes." ”

He sat down on the couch and ordered her to do something like this, and he froze, still shouting, "Come here." ”

Hesitating, Mansheng walked over, his slender legs vacating the space, motioning for her to walk in front of him. Creeping bowed his head, and finally came to him.

"Untie it." He whispered, his eyes level with hers.

The overgrown hand silently reached for his collar and unbuttoned him. Suddenly remembered that it was only a day apart, yesterday he forcibly untied her collar, but today he forced her to untie herself.

The button of the man's shirt, a very thin one, and the overgrown hand moved, and he found himself trembling a little.

The process was slow, and there was an obvious desire to be faster, and the more anxious the overgrowth, the more difficult it was to complete.

I saw that his neck, as the buttons were dissolved, revealed a beautiful curve. It was his firm skin, as smooth as his face. Unable to meet his eyes, she could only stare at the hem of his shirt until she unbuttoned the row of shirts, and her hand was hurriedly withdrawn.

However, he grabbed her, took her hand that was about to be withdrawn, and was startled, and suddenly raised his eyes to meet his deep smiling eyes.

"Overgrow," shouted Wei Rong, who muttered, "you have to get used to it." ”

Only then did she realize that she really belonged to him, and her body was no longer up to her. Recognizing this, he responded, "I know. ”

His hand caressed her face and hooked her towards himself and gave him a kiss, "That's good." ”

Creeping stood still, he had gotten up and gone to the bathroom to shower.

……

In the bedroom, the sheets and quilts were arranged, and all of them were changed. She looked up at the cabinet, on which was her mother's urn, carefully placed. The night sky outside the apartment was already bottomless, and his voice came from behind him, "It's not early, hurry up and take a shower after changing." ”

"Okay." Creep is another response.

Wei Rong passed by the bedroom door, and he saw her with her back to him, and he saw the location she was looking at just now, which was her mother's urn. His eyes flickered, and he headed back to the living room.

When the vine took a bath, it was nearly eleven o'clock. She dried her hair and came out into the living room to see.

In fact, I've been thinking about a question just now, how are you going to spend tonight?

Where does she sleep, and where does he sleep?

It's a stupid question, as he said, how else can a lonely man and a widow be in the same room? Thinking about it, she calmly came to the living room, but when she looked closer, she found that he was lying flat on the sofa, the whole person was lazily trapped in it, he was motionless, but his breathing was even.

The bathrobe wrapped around his body, his legs were slender and folded, and his white jade-like hand was still holding a book, which was the book she had when she was studying, and he was reading it just now, and it was still in his hand. It was only at this moment that the book was placed on his chest, and his extremely elegant face became so peaceful.

Is he asleep?

Mansheng was a little surprised, I don't know if he really sleeps, or if he just closes his eyes and recuperates. Closer, she wanted to get a glimpse of his breath.

Suddenly, when she looked in, the faint male voice sounded, "Give me the quilt." ”

Creep was taken aback!

"Didn't you hear?" He said again.

“…… Good. Mansheng didn't have time to ask, so he answered and went to bring him a quilt.

Wei Rong was still lying on the sofa, and he ordered again, "Go in now, close the door and sleep." ”

Mansheng really didn't expect it now, he was going to sleep on the sofa?

"I'm not in the mood to do that to you today, so you go back to your room and sleep now. Of course, if you have a desire for this, then I can satisfy you. His long eyelashes cast a shadow in the light, reflecting on his eyelids, and he said with thin lips.

"I'll go back to my room now."

"Turn off the lights."

Without saying a word, she turned off the light, and immediately turned back to her room and closed the door.

There was no movement outside, he didn't follow up, and Mansheng felt even more dazed, just looked up and looked at the top of the cabinet again.

It was pitch black, and there was not a single light.

Mom, it's so dark, can you find your way home?

……

In the middle of the night, all the lights in the apartment went out, and in the darkness, Wei Rong opened his eyes. In his hand, the book was gently picked up. Through the moonlight outside the floor-to-ceiling window behind me, I vaguely saw a note in the book.

It was the woman's handwriting, two lines of chat history.

The first line is a person: Creeping, Children's Day is coming, say, what is your wish for Children's Day? If Shui actually said that she was going to Egypt to be Cleopatra, wasn't that my wish?

It was probably a small note in class, and I was afraid that the teacher would find out, so I wrote it crookedly.

It's just that after that, there is one more line of words.

Delicate, concise, as light as the wind.

She writes - hope to be young all her life, facing the desire for love until her old age.

……

"Rong Shao, your clothes, shirts, coats." Early the next morning, the three of them arrived again, and Zong Quan sent straight clothes.

In the living room, Wei Rong stood up and dressed them one by one.

The vine was already dressed, and she watched him from a short distance behind. This kind of picture is somewhat familiar, when he used to live in Nanxiangju, occasionally Wen Shanglin returned, and someone would send him a change of clothes the next morning. It's just that at the moment in her apartment, it has become particularly weird.

After Wei Rong was dressed, he asked out loud, "Xiao Zhen, did you bring all the things you went to fetch?" ”

"Yes, Rong Shao." Fang Yizhen immediately took out a wooden box, and then held it in front of Mansheng, "Miss Lin, I think you probably want this." ”

Mansheng looked down and saw that inside the wooden box was the candlestick needed to worship the dead at home.

"Secretary Fang, now you and Assistant Ren will set off to deliver the letter to the three directors' mansions." Wei Rong gave orders.

The two of them agreed, "Yes." ”

"The candles here last for three hours, and when I get back here, I don't want to see the candles go out, understand?"

"Yes." The two spoke in unison.

Mansheng was stunned again, and suddenly, he was grateful to him in his heart. At this moment, she set up all the candlesticks and lit them, as if she had been temporarily comforted, and she was no longer worried.

Mom, don't be afraid, now you can find your way home.

……

The group acted separately outside the apartment, Fang Yizhen and Ren Xiang and his party, Mansheng here, Zong Quan drove and drove her and Wei Rong away.

The car headed towards Feng's house, and Wei Rong said, "Are you sure he will be home today?" ”

"Well, today is the weekend off, but it's also my grandfather's death day." Creeping whispered.

Wei Rong was silent.

As the car drove away, he said, "Thank you." She paused, then said, "Thank you for letting Secretary Fang send those, and for giving the order that the candle should not be extinguished." ”

There is a rule here in Yicheng that the candle should be lit until the deceased person is buried, so that the deceased person knows the way home and will not get lost.

Wei Rong looked calmly ahead, but said nothing.

After a long time, seeing that the Feng family's mansion was about to arrive, Mansheng said, "I'll just go in alone in a while." ”

Wei Rong had no opinion, just said, "Sometimes you don't need to say too much, pick up the most stakes." ”

"I see." ”

The car stopped at the gate of Feng's house, but Mansheng didn't get out of the car immediately, she said forward, "Assistant Zong, please help me answer the door." ”

"Miss Lin, you're polite, just give me an order." Zong Quan responded and got out of the car.

Mansheng nodded at Wei Rong, and she also got out of the car.

The car was still parked, Wei Rong sat in the car and looked through the window, he saw Zong Quan go to answer the door, and he also saw the people in the house come to ask, but after a long time, Lin Mansheng walked in alone, and Zong Quan also turned back into the car.

Zong Quan turned around and said, "Rong Shao, this Miss Lin is a very fast learner. ”

Wei Rong smiled, "Not really." ”

……

Feng Qizhen was really there in the Feng Mansion, in addition to him, there was also his wife, that is, his uncle.

Feng Qizhen has two daughters and a son under his knees, the daughters are all studying abroad, and the younger son is younger and is an old man, so he is very precious and stays by his side.

Today is the death day of Feng Zupei, the old man of Feng, and no one in Feng Qizhen's family went out to worship his father.

It's just that when he heard that Lin Mansheng was coming, Feng Qizhen was also surprised. You must know that since a few years ago, the Feng family and the Lin family had a discord because of many reasons for official and private affairs, and there have been few contacts since then. Even with it, Feng Qizhen even his sister Feng Ruoyi also cleared up the relationship.

"Uncle, aunt." When she came to the side hall, she stepped forward and shouted.

Both of them hesitated, and Feng Qizhen saw her and asked, "Why are you here today?" ”

Mansheng raised his head and said, "I'll put incense on my grandfather first." ”

The dead are big, Feng Qizhen did not stop him, he took the incense from the servant, and she worshipped the incense sincerely.

After worshipping his grandfather, Feng Qizhen sat in the chair, silently looking at this niece who had not had much contact for many years, and was also thinking about why she came.

"Mom, who is she?" The little boy was beside Mrs. Feng, curiously looking at Lin Mansheng who came and asked.

Mrs. Feng didn't say much, so she only took him out of the side hall.

But without waiting for him to ask again, Mansheng spoke, "Uncle, in addition to paying respects to my grandfather today, I have one more thing to ask you to come forward." ”

"If it's your mother's business, I won't interfere." Feng Qizhen said a clean word, he really didn't want to care.

"It's for my mother." ”

Feng Qizhen's eyes froze, and he continued, "It's also for myself, for my little brother Shuhan, but also for my two cousins, and my little cousin." ”

……

Twenty minutes later—

In the car, Wei Rong smoked a cigarette and waited, and Zong Quan kept looking at the gate of the house in front of him. Suddenly, seeing that the door was opened, Zong Quan called, "Rong Shao, Miss Lin is out." ”

Zong Quan hurriedly got out of the car, opened the door for her, and Bent Sheng bent inside.

Inside the car was the smell of smoke dispersed, floating hazy white smoke, Wei Rong looked sideways at her and waited for the result, and said, "He agreed." ”

Wei Rong was also a little surprised, "What did you say to make your brother-in-law, who has almost no contact, agree to come forward for you." ”

"My brother-in-law has two daughters, and he gave birth to my little cousin seven years ago. I told my brother-in-law that outsiders are unreliable, and my cousins don't know if they will end up in the future, and my cousin is still young, and I don't know when he will be in charge. If he doesn't support and help me, then after our Feng family, something really happens, and no one can come out. Although my surname is Lin, I have the blood of the Feng family in my body, and my mother is the best example of how outsiders are unreliable. ”

Hearing this, Wei Rong laughed, "No matter how powerful and surprising a person is, sooner or later there will be a moment when he will be old." People who are over half a hundred years old will always have many scruples. ”

At this time, the bell rang in front of him, and Zong Quan picked it up and listened. Then, he hung up and said, "Rong Shao, Miss Lin, Secretary Fang and Assistant Ren have already delivered all the letters." ”

"Now we'll wait for news." Although he solved an important matter, he did not dare to relax.

"We?" Keen to capture, Wei Rong smiled, "I like the definition of these two words." ”

……

The next day –

Lin Yifan received a call from the board of directors, and then he hurriedly contacted Wen Shanglin, "Brother-in-law, the director sent a letter from there!" The eldest sister really contacted them, and she has agreed to hold a board meeting tomorrow! Things are getting too much to do! ”

"Panic what!" On the other end of the phone, Wen Shanglin reprimanded, "At tomorrow's board meeting, you can completely suppress them!" ”

……

This Monday is a crucial day for the overgrowth.

Feng Qizhen contacted her here to inform her that the rest of the board of directors had approved each other and would attend today's weekly meeting.

So, just today there will be a decision.

Before going out, he poured incense on his mother's urn: Mom, I won't lose.

Because, she must not lose!

The car drove out slowly and set off for Lin's Jinyue. When he arrived in front of the company building, he was about to get out of the car, but found that another car in front of him was also parked and got off.

It was Zong Quan who hurriedly came down, but ran to the car they were sitting in to open the door.

"Young master, you have taken the things you ordered." Zong Quan said, holding a cardboard box in his hand.

Wei Rong went down first, and Mansheng was about to get out of the car, but he called her, "Don't move." ”

Mansheng sat in the car and froze, but saw him open the carton in Zong Quan's hand, and then took out a pair of high heels.

It was a pair of black lace heels, as plain black as the color of her body, elegant and quiet, so imposing and intimidating.

He took it out and put it in the doorway of the car, and put it at her feet.

"Put it on." He said this as if opening another path for her.

Mansheng changed the flats under his feet and stepped on these high heels.

For a moment, as if she had the queen's scepter, her knight said to her at her side, "From now on, your name will represent the Lin clan!" ”
