Chapter 141: Parental Love
Men Shaoting only glanced at Sang Zhi lightly and did not speak.
The scorching sun outside the car scorched the earth like a furnace, the street trees on both sides of the road were listlessly hanging their heads, and the leaves were curled up into thin needles because of the scorching sun.
Sangzhi pressed half of his face against the window glass and looked out the window.
Men Shaoting stopped the car at the convenience store next to the community, pulled the mulberry branch out of the car, and asked, "What do you want to eat?" ”
Sang Zhi smiled and shook his head, "Whatever, anything." ”
Men Shaoting shrugged, "On such a hot day, how about making you cold noodles to eat?" ”
Seeing Sang Zhi nodding, Men Shaoting took her hand and went into the convenience store to buy ingredients.
"How about marinating tomatoes?"
Men Shaoting took a tomato and looked at Sang Zhi and asked.
Sang Zhi was obviously absent-minded, thinking about messy things in his heart, and he didn't hear Men Shaoting's words at all.
Men Shaoting frowned, sighed, and thought with some worry, before he even told her what was the matter, she was already so depressed, if she learned the truth, would she be able to bear it?
"Zhizhi ......" Men Shaoting called Sang Zhi again.
Sang Zhi suddenly looked at Men Shaoting with a confused expression, "Huh? What's up? ”
Men Shaoting sighed, reached out and pinched her fair cheeks, and said with a smile: "Don't think nonsense, is it good to eat tomatoes and make lo mein?" ”
Startled by such an ambiguous action made by the Men Shaoting in public, Sang Zhi couldn't help blushing, lowered his head and whispered, which was an answer.
After buying the ingredients, the two returned home.
Men Shaoting asked Sang Zhi to watch TV and take a break first, while he rolled up his sleeves and tied his apron, and was busy in the kitchen.
In the living room, Sang Zhi sat on the sofa, staring blankly at the TV screen, but didn't see anything.
A document bag that he brought back from the door and put it in the study suddenly flashed in his mind.
Sang Zhi had a hunch that there must be a secret between his parents and Sang Yaozu hidden there.
The ghost sent the gods, Sang Zhi walked to the door of the study, stretched out his hand to push open the door of the study, and walked in gently.
The document bag that Men Shaoting brought back was placed on the desk and lay there quietly.
Sang Zhi looked at the document bag for a long time, not knowing whether to pick it up, and took out the documents inside to take a look.
When Men Shaoting came in, Sang Zhi was looking at the folder on the desk in a daze.
Men Shaoting frowned, slowly walked to Sang Zhi's side, stretched out his hand to pull her body over, and let her face to face with him.
Sang Zhi looked at him, but the corner of his eye drifted to the file bag on the desk from time to time.
For a while, Men Shaoting didn't speak, and Sang Zhi didn't speak.
After a while, Men Shaoting sighed and said, "The rice is cooked, let's eat." ”
Sang Zhi nodded, tugged at the corners of his mouth, and popped out a word: "Okay." ”
was led out of the study by Men Shaoting, and when he left the study, Sang Zhi couldn't help but glance back at the folder on the desk.
The more I looked at it, the more nervous I became, so I simply shook my head and gritted my teeth to divert my attention.
"Well, it smells so good!"
Sitting at the dining table, watching Men Shaoting skillfully help him pick the noodles into the bowl, put the marinade and the dish yard and mix it, and put it in front of him, "Eat it." ”
Sang Zhi smiled, picked a chopstick and ate it in his mouth, and couldn't help but praise: "It's delicious!" ”
Men Shaoting smiled, "Eat more if it's delicious." ”
Then Sang Zhi didn't speak again, just lowered his head and ate the lo mein in the bowl very seriously.
Men Shaoting also seemed to have something on his mind, in addition to letting Sang Zhi eat more, he also kept silently eating the noodles in his bowl without speaking.
During a meal, the two ate quite tacitly, almost no one spoke, and they really didn't speak.
After eating, Sang Zhi took the initiative to brush the pot and wash the dishes, and Men Shaoting didn't stop her, just quietly watching her busy.
When Sang Zhi came out of the kitchen, Men Shaoting beckoned to her and said softly, "Come and sit." ”
Sang Zhi smiled reluctantly, walked to the door and sat down, but his eyes noticed that the folder that was originally in the study was placed on the coffee table in the living room at this time, close to her.
Sang Zhi was stunned, took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "Men Shaoting, is this for me?" ”
Men Shaoting looked at her fixedly and nodded.
Sang Zhi's heart tightened, and he almost forgot to beat, what should come will always come.
Taking two deep breaths, Sang Zhi reached for the folder on the coffee table with trembling hands.
Before the hand touched the folder, the folder had been held down by a big hand of Door Shaoting.
Sang Zhi looked at Men Shaoting with some puzzlement, "What's wrong?" ”
Men Shaoting reached out and grabbed her little hand, looked at her fixedly, and said softly: "Zhizhi, in fact, there are some things that you don't have to worry about the truth at all. ”
Sang Zhi looked at Men Shaoting inexplicably, she didn't know what he was going to say.
In Sang Zhi's impression, Men Shaoting has never been a person who can talk around the bush, and has always liked to go straight to Men Shaoting, today's approach is really a bit strange, which makes Sang Zhi even more afraid from his heart.
Hesitantly looked at the folder, a pair of hesitant eyes, and looked at the door of the young court pitifully.
Men Shaoting sighed and said, "Is the truth of the matter really that important? Let me ask you, even if you knew who you really were, would you leave your parents behind and go to another family? ”
Sang Zhi shook his head without hesitation, "No, I will never leave my parents in this life." ”
Men Shaoting nodded, "In that case, why do you have to know the truth?" Isn't it adding to your own troubles? Just act as if nothing happened and everything is as good as it was? ”
Men Shaoting's tone was distressed and a little pleading.
Sang Zhi hesitated, Men Shaoting was right, in fact, knowing the truth or not didn't have any practical meaning for him, it was just ......
It's just that Sang Yaozu has met with her mother several times, and if she continues like this, it will definitely affect the normal life of her parents, she can't know that something is wrong, and pretend not to know that she is nothing.
She couldn't do it this way, so Sang Zhi finally chose to figure out the relationship between her parents and Sang Yaozu, and figure out the mystery of her life experience. Perhaps only in this way can she truly let go and relax, and she can also be prepared for a rainy day, foreseeing and preventing what will happen in the future.
"Men Shaoting, I want to know, let me see."
Sang Zhi took a deep breath before slowly speaking, and the firmness in his eyes made Men Shaoting slightly stunned.
Seeing that her attitude was so resolute, Men Shaoting didn't say anything more, but slowly took out the neatly bound document from the file bag and handed it to Sang Zhi.
The document is not complicated, but it is the size of five pages of A4 paper.
The mulberry branch seemed to feel a thousand pounds in his hand, and he didn't have the courage to open those pages for a long time.
Looking up at the door several times, Sang Zhi wanted to get an encouragement and courage from him.
Men Shaoting looked at her with a light smile, "Look, no matter what, you still have me." ”
Sang Zhi looked at him gratefully and nodded, "Men Shaoting, thank you." ”
After speaking, he opened the file with trembling hands.
The documents given by Men Shaoting are very detailed, detailed to the bits and pieces of Sangzhi's parents when they were young.
Sang Zhi looked at it, and his tears couldn't stop flowing, moved by the love of his parents, and at the same time angry because of someone's shameless filthiness.
Twenty-six years ago, Sang Zi was not called Sang Zi, but Sang Yaozong.
The Sang family is a big family, but since Sang Yaozong's grandfather's generation, the people have suddenly weakened, and there is only one child like Sang Yaozong's grandfather.
Sang Yaozong's grandfather's name was Sang Zhiwei, and he was a born businessman, and his business acumen was different from ordinary people since he was a child. After growing up and inheriting the ancestral business, the family business has been brought into full play and done well, and Sang's enterprise once became one of the largest enterprises in Beijing and even the country.
Sang Zhiwei and his lover had two sons, Sang Yaozong and Sang Yaozu's father, respectively, that is to say, Sang Yaozong and Sang Yaozu were originally cousins of the same clan.
Sang Yaozong's father Sang Qing is his brother, and Sang Yaozu's father Sang Bai is his younger brother.
The two brothers helped Sang Zhiwei take care of Sang's business together, but they understood that everyone knew that Sang Qing and Sang Bai had always been incompatible.
Sang Qing is loyal, honest and religious, while Sang Bai is smart and active, good at opportunism.
Sang Zhiwei secretly observed the two brothers for a long time, and finally intended to let the boss Sang Qing be his successor.
But unexpectedly, it backfired, and Sang Qing died in a plane crash during a business trip, leaving only Sang Yaozong, who was only twelve years old at the time.
Sang Zhiwei lost his beloved son, but he was not confused, he still managed a huge enterprise by himself, and did not reveal the slightest intention of wanting Sang Bai to take over.
Sang Bai was depressed and asked Sang Zhiwei to negotiate, but was severely reprimanded by Sang Zhiwei, and finally felt that he had no hope of an heir, so he had to pin his hope on his son Sang Yaozu.
Sang Yaozu is two years younger than Sang Yaozong, and since he was a child, Sang Yaozu has been educated by Sang Bai because of his radical education, and he likes to compare himself with Sang Yaozong everywhere.
Sang Yaozong is smart and studious, and has always been the focus of the school.
But in fact, Sang Yaozong has no intention of business, but has a strong interest in Chinese medicine.
When he was in college, Sang Yaozong applied for the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine with Sang Zhiwei behind his back, and by chance, he met Mo Qinglian from the Normal College next door, and the two hit it off at first sight and soon fell in love.
Sang Yaozong took Mo Qinglian back home to see his grandfather Sang Zhiwei, hoping to get his grandfather's blessing.
Unexpectedly, Sang Zhiwei spoke coldly to Sang Yaozong and Mo Qinglian, saying that it didn't matter if he applied for the Chinese medicine exam behind his back, and he also fell in love behind his back, which is really not like the behavior that the Sang family should have.
Under the bitter begging of Sang Yaozong and Mo Qinglian several times, Sang Zhiwei saw that the two were very affectionate and really loved each other, and finally couldn't bear to break up the two by force.
It's just that Sang Zhiwei still put forward a few conditions for Sang Yaozong, saying that only if he agreed to his conditions and did it, he would agree to him and Mo Qinglian being together, and only then would he admit that she was the granddaughter-in-law of the Sang family.
Sang Zhiwei's requirements are very demanding, but for Sang Yaozong, it is a piece of cake.
Sang Zhiwei asked Sang Yaozong to study finance while studying traditional Chinese medicine, and to graduate with a double degree with honors. Second, Sang Yaozong and Mo Qinglian were required to live at home, but before Sang Yaozong graduated, the two were not allowed to have a relationship, and could only get along as friends.
At first, Mo Qinglian, who had a strong personality, was reluctant to live in the Sang family and lived a life like a parasitic fence.
Because she knew that Sang Zhiwei did this just to let himself watch under his nose.
It's just that under Sang Yaozong's repeated persuasion, for the sake of the love between the two, Mo Qinglian finally chose to compromise.
Just as the two were looking forward to a better future, an event happened that was enough to change their fate......
And this incident also directly pushed the relationship between Sang Yaozong and the Sang family to the point of rupture......
