Chapter Twenty-Three: Ah Xu
In the elegant café, two well-dressed men with good taste sit opposite each other.
"Ah Xu, do you think Grandpa will agree with our decision to assert himself?" Mu Lian's slender fingers gently stirred the coffee, and his tone was brisk.
The man named Ah Xu glanced at the person in front of him lightly, as if he was looking at another person through him, he had known each other for seven years, and he had always been like this.
There was a cup of expensive coffee in front of the two of them, but no one planned to drink it, seeing that Ah Xu didn't answer, Mu Lian rubbed his cheeks, "Ah Xu, why don't you speak?" ”
Ah Xu came back to his senses, he smiled, that smile was like a spring breeze, blowing straight into Mu Lian's heart, so frightened that he quickly put down his hands rubbing his face, and waited for his answer.
"Don't worry, the old man has me over there, you can just let it go." The man behaved elegantly and spoke in a calm and calm tone.
Mu Lian stabilized his mind at once, as if he had taken a reassuring pill, he happily picked up the phone and told his subordinates what to do next, everything was in order.
In fact, even without Ah Xu, he can do well, but habit is a terrible thing, and he has long been accustomed to Ah Xu giving advice by his side.
At this time, the top floor of Wangyu Building was not calm, Mu Canghai, the helmsman of Mulong Group, sat opposite Yu Ya, looking at the same so-called "famous masterpiece", he didn't know what Yu Ya, the old man, thought, knowing that things were fake or willing to spend a high price to buy them back.
It's just a few broken paintings, as long as he speaks, he can help him move the gold and silver mountains.
Yu Ya's fingers gently swiped every inch of the painting, and his eyes were full of thoughts and pity that could not be hidden.
He seems to have been completely immersed in his own world, where there is a lovely girl, who is the treasure in his palm, the flesh of his heart, the person who sacrifices his life and wants to save in this life.
But as soon as the thought was withdrawn, his long narrow eyes narrowed solemnly, and there was only hatred left in those eyes.
Mu Canghai was startled by his eyes, he quickly stood up, and looked at the painting that was tightly held in his hand by Yu Ya with strange eyes.
After looking at it for a long time, I didn't see why, but I saw that it was just a fake.
Could it be that he saw that he had been deceived?
Except for this, Old Man Mu can't think of anything else for the time being.
"This painting was painted by my daughter."
In a word, it is both an explanation and a warning.
Mu Canghai was silent, he knew that in Yu Ya's life, his daughter was like his life, and now that his daughter was gone, he could only see things and think about people.
"Canghai, sure enough, time can be turned back, what do you want to do the most?"
Yu Ya's unexpected question really made Mu Canghai ponder for a long time, "If there is really a chance to change the sky and change my life, I just want to save my Huan'er." ”
Mu Huan, Mu Canghai's only son, was originally a young and promising heir, but he inexplicably became someone else's substitute for the dead, and finally caused his granddaughter to die unexpectedly.
Two lonely old men who lost their loved ones poured themselves drinks and said nothing more.
There was silence in the narrow alley, and there was no one in the past few days.
There is an old man and a young man basking in the sun in the yard, the old one looks yellow and thin, and he still holds a big cigarette stick in his mouth all day long, the small one is well-behaved and cute, especially pleasant, and the corners of his mouth are shiny and shiny, shining in the sun.
Old man He was telling a story to the little guy, and when he heard the emotion, the little guy had already cried a handful of snot and tears.
He choked up and asked, "Old man, did you say that girl came back in the end?" ”
"Well, let's save it for next time." Old man He looked at the clear blue sky, cloudless, and suddenly didn't plan to speak.
Where is the little guy willing to do it, he dragged Old Man He's sleeve and cried into a monster, "No, no, you've been telling this story for three days, and it's about to end, how can you not tell it!" Hanging other people's appetites like this, old man, you are too unkind! ”
"The girl is dead and can't come back."
A cold voice came from outside the far wall, and the little guy immediately became alert, and suddenly found that the voice was inexplicably a little familiar.
In the blink of an eye, the man was already in front of them.
"You...... You're ......," the little guy stammered in shock and didn't say a full sentence for a long time.
"It's me, I'll see if the teacher is still alive." It was Ah Xu.
Ah Xu, formerly known as Yan Xu, one of the gatekeepers personally chosen by Old Man He, was burdened, but he gave up the avenue that Old Man He chose for him because of his children's affection.
The little guy was once cleaned up by this human-faced beast-hearted and well-dressed Sven scum, and there is still a psychological shadow left, as soon as he saw the continuation, his body instinctively hid behind Old Man He.
Yan Xu looked at the little guy's trembling calves, he suddenly smiled and said, "I said, it's been so many years, and you are still so afraid of me, it seems that my choice back then was still very wise." ”
"Not really!"
Of course, the little guy refused to admit it, hiding behind Old Man He, his head was raised high, his mouth was pouted, and his voice was obviously lacking in confidence.
"You are not a respectful teacher, why are you here today?" After asking, Old Man He took another puff of cigarette, and his expression was immortal.
"Teacher, you know the purpose of my trip." Yan Xu didn't beat around the bush and directly dismantled him.
Old man He was not annoyed, and continued to pretend to be stupid: "The ghost knows what bad water you are thinking about all day long, how do you know if you don't tell me." ”
Yan continued to smile wryly, "I just want to know where Nian'er is?" ”
"Didn't you say it yourself? The girl was already dead. Old man He turned over, took his ass to Yan Xu, and continued to bask in the sun.
Yan Xu's eyes suddenly turned red, his tone became slightly choked, and he didn't move his steps, "She's dead, I want to know if she left anything to tell me before she died." ”
It was his stubbornness, and when he was about to join forces with the other four to kill the shark, her mind committed suicide without warning, and he didn't believe in such a coincidence in this world.
"No, not a word." Old man He's tone was cold, like a knife cut on Yan Xu's heart, he suddenly went crazy, rushed up, grabbed Old Man He's collar, and forced him to look at him.
He roared angrily: "Teacher, my good teacher, you really have the ability, you can not use a single soldier, you don't do it yourself, just a few words will kill a person, do you really think that everyone else is a fool?" ”
How can the events of that year be explained in one or two sentences?
Old man He was still pretending to be stupid, but he just put down the cigarette stick in his hand that never left him, and frightened the little boy on the side like a rocket.
"Did you force Nian'er to die? What did you tell her in the first place? Yan Xu's eyes were red, and he was like the elegant man in the café half an hour ago, or rather, this was the original him.
"Does it matter? In the end, you don't give up your future for the sake of a woman. Old man He slapped his hands, straightened his clothes, and continued to lie down and smoke.
Yan Xuben is one of the best young talents in the criminal police brigade, and he was also focused on training back then.
"Since you want to know so much, then I might as well tell you that Mu Nian did leave a message for you, but you shouldn't like to hear it." Old man He's expression was very light, and he looked like a master outside the world.
Yan Xu looked at him, his eyes lit up with hope, "Tell me, I can accept the good and the bad." ”
It is said that back then, Mu Nian and Yan Xu were originally a bad relationship, and the two seemed to be in love, but in fact, Yan Xu only stayed with the Mu family sisters and brothers out of guilt and compensation.
The reason is that because Yan Xu killed the wrong person when he was on a mission, out of guilt, he stayed in the Mu family as a housekeeper, and Mu Nian also fell in love with him.
But before leaving, something happened, and Mu Nian committed suicide.
In his heart, the dust will never settle.
"She wants me to tell you not to appear in front of her grave in this life, for fear of dirtying her reincarnation."
Yan continued to mumble to himself, repeating the sentence all the time, as if he was crazy, and suddenly, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and then lowered his head, and his eyes had regained clarity.
He didn't ask who told her the truth, nor did he continue to search frantically and persistently.
looked at the sloppy old man who didn't have a proper manner, and said in a calm tone: "Teacher, the student already knows what to do." ”
Old man He waved his hand, signaling that he could get out.
After Yan continued to leave, the barefoot boy dared to land again, "Old man, what does he know?" I didn't say anything to him. ”
Old man He touched Xiao Tong's head and said very badly: "San'er, if you were half as smart as my student, you wouldn't have been bullied like that by him at the beginning." ”
At noon, the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and it is getting darker and later.
At dinner, Lin Xiaotao and Li Mowen came, and all the members of the rice team arrived.
As soon as Li Mowen saw Wu Liang's harmless fox face, he couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis for no reason.
Sure enough, the dish was swept away by the two of them as soon as it was served on the table, which made Lin Xiaotao's eyes almost startled, and she muttered: "Are these two hungry ghosts reincarnated?" ”
Yu Changxi sighed: "It's good to get used to it." ”
Bo Fan shook his head: "They eat first, and there is still in the pot." ”
In the past few days, as long as Lin Xiaotao has been empty, he will run here, and gradually get acquainted with Yu Changxi.
After dinner, Yu Changxi and Lin Xiaotao were blowing the night breeze on the balcony, the night breeze was slightly cool, and there was a trace of mist.
"You're a lot like one of my old friends." Lin Xiaotao looked at the starry sky, her eyes lonely.
Yu Changxi's heart was slightly moved, she raised a far-fetched smile and said, "Then I'm honored." ”
Lin Xiaotao didn't look back at her, but said to herself: "She is my sister, the person I respect most in my life, it's a pity that she has been dead for ten years, otherwise I would definitely introduce her to you." ”
"That's a pity."
"How nice it would be if you were a girl."
The corners of Yu Changxi's mouth twitched.
She can tell her: silly child, the person you have in mind is right in front of you, do you think I still look a little like before?
The answer is, of course, no.
