Chapter 14: Temptation
After listening to Lao Zhang's words, Chen Chuan showed an inscrutable smile, put his hands on his elbows on the table and said, "Brother, do you believe in fate?" This sounds a bit like what the ancients said. In other words, brother, do you believe that fate is predestined? β
Hearing what Chen Chuan said, the wine that Lao Zhang drank instantly turned into a stimulant, stretched his neck across the table and asked Chen Chuan with curiosity: "Brother, do you have a goal?" Chen Chuan was amused by Lao Zhang's question, and said, "Brother, with your words, I will become a steppe wolf." β
"Yes, my words are a bit too game-rich," Lao Zhang said to himself.
"So, brother, do you have a choice?" Lao Zhang's curiosity was not satisfied, and he continued to ask reluctantly.
Chen Chuan put his elbows on the edge of the table, rubbed his hands and said: "There is such a person, with her, you can relax and relax, you can not feel any pressure, you can see the original way of life, you can be in her world, you can experience the primitive kindness of the people around her... She is as quiet as a first lotus, as light as ink, which makes people reverie, as if they are in another world..."
"It's justβ" Chen Chuan hesitated
"It's just that this fate has become a little twisted." Chen Chuan continued to rub his hands, feeling a little difficult to speak. β
"I said brother, you are in a hot and resolute business field. When it comes to your own affairs, how did you become indecisive? If you don't say it, I'll say it. Lao Zhang was so anxious that he instantly turned into a monkey. Obviously, Chen Chuan was looking for a partner, and he made it seem like he was marrying a daughter-in-law.
Chen Chuan suddenly put away his smile and said to Lao Zhang very seriously: "Brother, I didn't look for you today
This thing. β
"What's that, tell me quickly." Lao Zhang was a little anxious.
Chen Chuan looked at Lao Zhang, paused and said, "Brother, do you remember your uncle's wish before he died?" β
Chen Chuan's words made Lao Zhang instantly sad, and he choked up and said: "How can I not remember, at that time, my father told me intermittently with tears in his eyes, let me find a way to find my lost brother, and say sorry to my brother on his behalf!" I didn't close my father's eyes until he died..."As he spoke, Lao Zhang lay on the table and cried bitterly.
Chen Chuan stood up, came behind Lao Zhang, held Lao Zhang's shoulder and said: "Brother, I called you out today to tell you that I met someone by chance at a friend's place, and I was shocked at the time, thinking it was you, and when he approached, I found out that it was not." But his facial features and every move are exactly the same as yours. I thought there must be a story behind this person. Because I can't be sure, and I'm afraid that you will be disappointed, but I'm not willing to be afraid that you will miss the opportunity to recognize each other, so when you go to send me documents in the morning, I want to check again whether your every move is similar to that person..."
Before Chen Chuan could finish speaking, Lao Zhang stood up suddenly, grabbed Chen Chuan's arm with both hands and shook it, and said, "Tell me quickly, brother, where is the person you are talking about?" β
"Brother, don't worry. He is in the farm of a female writer, and they are commensurate with brother and sister, and they seem to have a good relationship, giving the impression that the relationship between them is very deep. β
Chen Chuan continued: "I said this to reassure you that he is living a good life. As for whether it is the person you are looking for, we have to find an opportunity to find out so as not to embarrass everyone. β
After listening to Chen Chuan's words, Lao Zhang felt that it made sense, and the whole person slowly calmed down.
Chen Chuan paced back and forth with his arms folded, he felt that this matter had to penetrate slowly, and he couldn't be too reckless, especially since there was Zixi in between, and Zixi didn't know his true identity, if he knew, based on Zixi's past experience, he would definitely refuse to see him again, so it would be difficult to contact Li Cheng again, so it would hurt many people, although Zimo and Chen Mo loved each other like glue, but at present, Zixi's attitude was not completely acceptable, but there was nothing to do.
Because of being killed by Hu Xiang, Zixi is already very worried about a businessman like him, lest a second Hu Xiang appear in the family, causing her daughter Zimo's marriage to repeat her mistakes.
Thinking of this, Chen Chuan stroked his hair back with his hand to show that his thinking was clearer.
Chen Chuan, who had been pacing, seemed to have an idea, he stopped and asked Lao Zhang: "Brother, although it will make you sad to revisit the past." But in order for me to have a good idea when I get in touch with them again, can you tell me what happened to my eldest brother's loss. "It's okay, brother, as long as I can find the eldest brother, I'm willing to do anything." Lao Zhang said while wiping his tears.
"My lost eldest brother and I are twin brothers, and I can't remember it because I was too young. Later, I heard my mother say that during the Mid-Autumn Festival when we were two years old, because my mother was not in good health, my father led me and my brother to buy sugar gourds in order to make us happy.
My father shouted and searched everywhere like crazy, but in the end he was not found, and my father returned home and became ill, but my mother was in a hurry and died soon after. In addition to working, my father dragged his sick body to find his brother, and he spent the rest of his time looking for his brother, and he searched for decades until he died, and he didn't have a wish. Lao Zhang silently wiped away his tears.
After listening to Lao Zhang's narration, Chen Chuan held his arm with one hand and his chin with the other hand and began to pace again, pondering for a moment, Chen Chuan asked Lao Zhang: "Brother, didn't my aunt tell you, how do you go to find your eldest brother?" In other words, if you find someone like Big Brother, how do you determine if he is or isn't? Chen Chuan said as he compared it with his hands.
Hearing Chen Chuan's reminder, Lao Zhang seemed to remember something, quickly took out half a milky white jade pendant from his jacket pocket, handed it to Chen Chuan and said: "My father is a jade craftsman, this is my father personally polished me and my brother, and the combination of one person and half is a perfect Tai Chi pattern." I heard from my mother that my father liked Tai Chi very much, and he occasionally practiced a few styles in his spare time. The reason why I polished a piece of such a jade pendant is that my father hopes that my brother and I will always be harmonious, and even if we grow up, we must support each other and not breed family troubles. β
Chen Chuan took the jade pendant handed to him by Lao Zhang, looked at it again and again, because he didn't understand, he could only say that it was very beautiful.
Lao Zhang then said to Chen Chuan: "Listen to my mother, there is a red birthmark on the right arm of the eldest brother near the wrist. β
Chen Chuan felt that the clues provided by Lao Zhang were very valuable, and asked Lao Zhang to put away the jade pendant and wait for his news.
What Chen Chuan didn't expect was that in fact, Zixi already knew everything about Chen Mo.
Li Cheng is grateful from the bottom of his heart for Zixi's father's life-saving grace, in order to repay Zixi's father's nurturing grace, and at the same time, in order to better take care of Zixi's mother and daughter, and live up to Zixi's father's trust and trust. Li Cheng has never had a family, Li Cheng has already integrated this non-blood relationship with Zixi Zimo into his blood, and he will never allow anyone to hurt Zixi and Zimo for any reason. Therefore, Li Cheng used his familiar business methods to investigate Chen Mo's situation clearly, and he did not hide the slightest from Zixi, but told the truth and the truth. He felt that as Zimo's mother, Zixi had the right to know this. As for Chen Mo's father, Li Cheng did not describe Zixi too much.
Zixi's reaction was strong, and Li Cheng's persuasion was also effective, although Zixi reluctantly agreed, the mustard in his heart had not been completely eliminated.
Zimo was watched by Li Cheng grow up, and he has long regarded Zimo as his own child. is also because of his age, since the last time he saw Zimo and Chen Mo together, Li Cheng liked it very much, he felt: Chen Mo is low-key, steady, although he is not good at talking, but he has a strong sense of responsibility, which is definitely not unrelated to his father's words and deeds, based on these points, for Zimo, Chen Mo is undoubtedly the man she is most worthy of entrusting for life. Judging from the investigation data of Chen Mo, it is unknown whether he can surpass his father, but he is certainly not a mediocre person who does nothing. With these, Chen Mo is definitely qualified to be the son-in-law of the Li family.
