"Why do you want to apologize?" Zhang Cheng casually poured a glass of amber whiskey and handed it to the other party.

It has to be said that although this meeting was completely unplanned, he showed great interest.

The reason is very simple, no matter from any point of view, the family he impersonated has an indescribable weirdness, which makes people can't help but have all kinds of associations.

Especially the old man in front of him who has a very high degree and is full of idealism, how did he get together with a strong and ambitious woman in the first place, and why did he choose to leave later?

The more he went deeper, the more Zhang Cheng felt that there must be a very wonderful story behind it.

Since he himself has recently been studying human behavior and psychology, it is natural that he will not let go of such a special real-life case.

Chen Song took the cup, raised his head and took a big sip, forcing himself to calm down.

After a long while, he replied with a wry smile: "Shouldn't I apologize? After all, it was my weakness and irresponsibility that caused you to lose half of your family affection since you were a child." Maybe I don't owe anything to your mother, and the reason why she has remained single is entirely due to her own character flaws, but you are innocent, and I think I have to say sorry to my face. ”

"Well, I accepted it. Although I don't think it's necessary. Zhang Cheng shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

He now finally understands why the other party keeps giving all kinds of small gifts, but never visits the door.

After all, guilt is a very special psychological activity, which will make people produce a series of complex emotional feedback, including apprehension, nervousness, expectation, fear, etc., and the final result is that they are obviously very eager to see each other, but they dare not meet each other, for fear of accidentally creating an irreparable situation.

"You don't seem to be excited, and you don't hate me?" Chen Song's eyes showed undisguised surprise.

He originally thought that even if his ex-wife didn't say too much bad about himself, at least he wouldn't say anything good, and he would have a big quarrel when he met for the first time, venting all his grievances for more than ten or twenty years.

But the reality is just the opposite, there is no fierce quarrel and roar, there is no catharsis of emotions, there is only the calmness and detachment as if it were a stranger.

"Hate?" Zhang Cheng smiled and shook his head. "No, you're thinking of yourself too much. To me, you're just a stranger by blood, that's all. I'm interested in what happened between you and my mother, and why someone like you would marry a woman who is so strong. ”

"Did your mother tell you anything?" Chen Song subconsciously frowned, feeling that the situation was a little beyond his expectations.

She didn't say anything. That's why I'm so interested. You must know that there are not many husbands in the world who allow their sons to take their mother's surname, and you happen to be one of them. With that, Zhang Cheng put down the wine bottle in his hand and looked directly into the other party's eyes.

"Are you sarcastic about me?" Chen Song obviously didn't want to talk about this topic, and his tone was tinged with anger.

After perceiving this, Zhang Cheng deliberately pretended to be casual and responded: "No, it's not sarcasm, I'm really interested." Of course, if you really don't want to say it, forget it, I can always find the answer I'm looking for anyway. ”

"Damn! you look exactly like your mother now!" Chen Song, who was not very emotionally stable, was suddenly enraged, and his eyes were instantly bloodshot.

He will never be able to forget the woman who once made him feel defeated, miserable, and hopeless.

"Ahh But are you sure you really don't want to say it, or do you want me to listen to another version, one that will be very bad for you?" Zhang Cheng chuckled and threatened.

"Shut up!" Chen Song roared angrily.

He trembled with anger, and held back the burning anger in his heart. It took about two or three minutes before he gradually calmed down, and said in a tone full of frustration: "You don't understand at all, let alone your mother's true face." Trust me, you'll only understand what a truly hellish life is when you start to really get to know her. ”

"Hahahaha! You think I'm still a kid in the dark, don't you? But actually, I know very well what kind of person my mother is, whether it's her ambition or her pathologically strong desire for control. Zhang Cheng laughed and told the truth.

"You...... You know?!" Chen Song was stunned and froze in place.

"Yes, I know, and am still assisting her in achieving her dream of building a huge business empire. In a few months' time, her company would be listed on the NASDAQ, and the market value would likely exceed $10 billion, and I own 25 percent of the original stake in the company. Now you still think I'm a child who doesn't understand anything?" Zhang Cheng teased with a playful face.

Hearing this, Chen Song finally understood that the young man standing in front of him was no longer the son he expected and imagined, and muttered to himself in a trembling voice: "I see...... You became her accomplice...... became a bastard who will do whatever it takes to earn wealth......"

"That's right! You're an idealist, an escapist who never wants to face the cruelest side of the world, and maybe a little bit of a spiritual and moral fetish. What a ridiculous profession to study and protect marine animals! Have you forgotten the survival of the fittest in Darwin's theory of evolution? In the natural environment, all living things must go through brutal competition, and if the number of a certain species decreases sharply, it can only mean that the pace of evolution of the species is too slow to keep up with the changes in the living environment, and human intervention can only slow down this process at most, and cannot change the outcome of doomed extinction at all......

"Fart, God, what did your mother teach you! The death of those animals was entirely caused by human activities! It has nothing to do with them!" Chen Song retorted loudly through gritted teeth.

"Aren't humans part of nature?

The survival of the fittest is an eternal law, and it has nothing to do with whether human beings appear or not.

Since those creatures can't adapt to the new environment, let them perish, like the trilobites, dinosaurs, mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, and so on in ancient times.

Isn't it because you're engaged in marine animal conservation to satisfy your pitiful sense of vanity and moral superiority, and to keep suggesting that you're a noble and great person who is free from low tastes?

Don't be in a hurry to deny it!

In fact, all the charitable activities in the world are essentially nothing more than three motives.

The first is to establish a good personal and corporate image, so that people feel that they are a good person or a responsible enterprise, so as to achieve the purpose of earning more wealth.

The second is to satisfy one's vanity and sense of superiority, and to enjoy praise and flattery from ordinary people.

As for the third type, it is completely a broken head, and the feeling from the bottom of one's heart is that one is doing a great thing, and that one derives satisfaction from self-recognition in order to save the world and humanity itself.

Tell me, which one do you think you are?"
