Chapter 142: I Never Thought You Would Be Like This
Over the years, Xiao Zheng has secretly come to Lanfu a few times, his purpose is very simple, to see if Qinglan is doing well, if possible, can he release his previous suspicions. Although he was disappointed every time, it also left Lan Hongda with clues to inquire about Xiao Zheng.
Although the only few trackings seemed to have been discovered by Xiao Zheng, he didn't seem to want to hide too much from Lan Hongda. Because of this, Lan Hongda not only knew that Xiao Zheng was preparing to attack, but also faintly realized that his strength should not be underestimated. Although Lan Hongda only knew about the skin, he had to be terrified of him with those furs.
"Is it not the right time?" Lan Hong sighed loudly, he had been worried and frightened for so many years. The Qinglan at home is already a detonated **, but Xiao Zheng is the ** that has not yet been touched. Many times he was afraid of Xiao Zheng's outburst, but more often he still hoped that Xiao Zheng could continue to endure. Lan Hongda, who was torn apart by contradictions, was very uncomfortable, but there was no moment when he dared to really face Xiao Zheng.
Today, it was Xiao Zheng who raised this question first, and he had a sense of pleasure in breaking the kettle. Many times, the torment lies in the fact that the question is not answered accurately, and once it is determined, even death can be a kind of pleasure. Lan Hongda was challenging this happiness now, he didn't know if he had the courage to do so, but he wanted to give it a try.
"Against you? Do I still have to wait for the right time? Like a ruthless mockery, Lan Hongda felt extremely ashamed, he stared at Xiao Zheng's direction with round fleshy eyes and asked, "No matter how I say that I am also a famous shopkeeper in the capital, is it ......" Before the words were finished, Lan Hongda himself fell silent.
A pint of incense shopkeeper? Perhaps this sentence should be preceded by a specific modification of this phrase, ever! It was this word that Lan Hongda had no confidence, and he deflated.
"Why didn't you say it?" Xiao Zheng is still so calm and relaxed, which is the most valuable wealth left to him by experience and years.
Lan Hongda lowered his head, he gradually calmed down his anger, and in a trance he seemed to suddenly remember that just three months ago, Lan Yi repented of his marriage and fled everywhere, Zhong Shiwei secretly made a bad person confiscate a pinxiang, and he, a famous shopkeeper in the capital, became worthless. However, he also vaguely remembered that Xiao Zheng was in the capital at the beginning, and Xiao Zheng was still an old man who sold rouge gouache in that narrow street, but even then, Xiao Zheng did not stand idly by, he secretly reached out to help, and only then did he take the temporary seizure of Yipinxiang as the final solution to the matter.
At that time, Lan Hongda may not have known, but when he was looking for people everywhere, someone secretly woke him up, and now the ending is already the best, he doesn't want to make trouble for himself, let alone trouble for the people who help him!
"You...... Afraid of me? Xiao Zheng asked.
"Afraid?" Lan Hongda also smiled helplessly, afraid that this word would be too much in his life. With no reliance, no way, and nothing, he relied on his own efforts in exchange for the grandeur of the Lan family today, but so what? When he really brought the Lan family to the point where he is today, did he know what it meant to be cold in a high place? thought that being called the master would give him the capital to do whatever he wanted, but after so many years, he found that he was not as comfortable as before.
If Lan Hongda was in his current position, maybe he wouldn't marry Qinglan at all, indeed, he wouldn't marry Qinglan, Qinglan was his choice when he was forced to be helpless, but because of that forced helplessness, he almost buried his life and Qinglan's life. Frankly speaking, Xiao Qinglan is Lan Hongda's pain in his heart, the hurt in his heart, the regret in his heart, and the fear in his heart. His impulsiveness was exchanged for today's ending, and he was prepared for this, which was his own fault. But he never thought that even his own son had been against him for so many years! For so many years, although he is beautiful on the surface, there is not a moment when happiness and joy truly belong to him!
When Qinglan went crazy looking for that child, there was also a turbulent shock in his heart! When Lan Yi was disobedient and even completely broke with his father, didn't his heart hurt like a heartbreak? He is also a man, a man of flesh and blood and soul! What's more, Lan Hongda knew that Xiao Zheng had been by his side for so many years, and there were even many pairs of eyes that had been watching him, and his own conscience had been torturing him!
It is precisely because of this that Lan Hongda has never treated Qinglan badly, even if she chose to abuse herself, Lan Hongda still did her best to make up for that woman! I have to say that there is an element of Xiao Zheng's threat in this, the meaning of Lan Hong's repentance, and the meaning that he has not completely extinguished his conscience.
Lan Hongda is walking on thin ice every day, he has been used to it for so many years, if he really sleeps peacefully one day, it will make him feel a little inexplicable. But to be honest, Lan Hongda's real peace of mind was from the fact that he knew that Xiao Zheng had returned to Beijing, and he felt that his worries could finally be put aside, and his fears could finally be exchanged for the final result. But unexpectedly, Xiao Zheng didn't do anything to him, on the contrary, Lan Yi's repentance was boiling, and Xiao Zheng reached out to help; Lan Yi went to the border, and Xiao Zheng gave great help!
In terms of heart, there is no contradiction between Xiao Zheng and Lan Hongda, their contradiction is only in Qinglan, the child who was abandoned many years ago!
"To be honest, I still know a little bit about you, but it is precisely because of this understanding that I am even more jealous of you, you are a hundred times more powerful than you appear on the surface. But people who don't know you don't know how powerful you are, and they still try to manipulate you, I worry for them, I really don't know when they will be destroyed by their ignorance. Lan Hongda was very apprehensive, but Xiao Zheng listened with some relish, and he couldn't help but ask provocatively, "Am I as powerful as you say?" ”
Lan Hongda was silent.
"Actually, you don't have to be afraid of me at all, you don't have to wait for any time if you want to do it, there have been a lot of opportunities in the past so many years, the reason why I can still be so indifferent to you shows that you are not my opponent yet, since you are not an opponent, we may become friends......"
"Actually...... Our most important relationship should be that of relatives! As soon as they said goodbye, Lan Hongda and Xiao Zheng were in a trance. Indeed, they were supposed to be relatives, and the flickering lights of the mill pushed a woman's figure even taller.
"Relatives......" Xiao Zheng muttered this word silently, he felt very strange, but he felt so kind, the fat man in front of him said that they should be relatives!
"Since you said we are relatives, why are you afraid of me? Is it difficult to become a relative, but will it hurt you? In fact...... I want to thank you too...... No matter what you did afterwards, after all, in that environment at the beginning, it was you who accepted Qinglan, along with everything she accepted, and it was you who gave Qinglan a harbor that could always protect her, so that she could avoid the temporary wind and waves. For so many years, even if Qinglan hates you to the core, even if Lan Yi misunderstands you in every way, you have always concealed the past very well......" Xiao Zheng was a little excited.
"You're wrong, now the children already know......" As if childish, Lan Hongda interrupted Xiao Zheng's words.
"But at least Zhong Shiwei doesn't know!" Xiao Zheng is categorical, this is where he is always grateful to Lan Hongda, no matter what he does that is not good for Qinglan, at this point, he is always a real man!
"That's exactly what I should be thankful for! Back then, Zhong Shiwei killed me completely, although he didn't know that Qinglan was already pregnant with his flesh and blood, but with his madness for us at the beginning, it was hard to imagine that he would easily let us go! You weren't what you are now, and even if I told you the truth, you didn't flinch in the slightest. We all know what will happen in the future, but no matter how troublesome Qinglan is or how disobedient Lan Yi's child is, you have never betrayed anyone! I know, you may know my whereabouts, you may know some things about me, but I thank you for keeping me so good! I know all this, so I said, I don't hate you, not only don't hate, I should thank you! The light in the mill was gone, and it seemed that Qinglan was asleep.
"You...... Do you really think so? Lan Hongda couldn't believe his ears. They hadn't talked to each other like this for so many years, even if Lan Hongda went to Mo Hui's opening ceremony, neither he nor Xiao Zheng had said a word. Today, he was surprised that Xiao Zheng actually talked to him, said so much, and even said thank him!
"What? In your eyes, am I, Xiao Zheng, a person with different hearts? Xiao Zheng's words were a little ridiculous.
"No, no, my brother misunderstood, I just ......"
"Brother?" Xiao Zheng was a little surprised by this title, although he couldn't see Lan Hongda's face clearly, he didn't know that he said this title so freely!
"Since we are all relatives, aren't you my brother!" It's hard to imagine that a person like Lan Hongda said such a thing like a child, which made Xiao Zheng feel a little hairy standing on end, but fortunately, it was also dark, and no one could see the expression on his face.
"Since it's my brother, I'm still going to criticize you. About that kid...... It's said to be a girl...... It's only a little bit old, and you're really so bearable......"
"So my brother still has a grudge against me?"
"Though there is resentment...... But it's not that I can't understand it......" Xiao Zheng sighed, Lan Hongda couldn't believe his ears!
