Chapter 16: The Prodigal Son Returns Home

Slaughter house, red walls and green tile circles occupy a small half of the street.

In the hot summer, the golden flame vines hang out of the wall, causing many passers-by to stop and admire. There are even some little girls, while approaching the flowers and vines to pose for photos, while secretly speculating in their hearts about the identity and image of the owner.

No one noticed, and a black Mercedes dodged the crowd like a fish, and quietly drove into an arch not far away.

The man who was hiding in the porter and napping opened his eyes as if he had noticed it, just in time to see the window of one side of the car rolled down.

"Uncle De, your pear blossom is white!"

The speed of the car did not decrease, but a wine gourd flew out of the car and landed in the man's hanging hat.

"Stinky boy, if you don't come back for ten and a half years, how can a bottle of wine buy me?!"

Uncle De took out the wine from his hat tremblingly, and although he was full of complaints, the wrinkles in his eyes and the corners of his mouth were full of joy.

Tu Bai glanced at the rearview mirror, like a child receiving great praise and affirmation, and the corners of his mouth that had been tense finally relaxed a small arc.

Driving all the way, I threw all kinds of gifts along the way, from the snacks of Daoyuzhai, the hand-sewn insoles, to the children's golden locks and imported bags......

The gardeners, servants, and cooks in the whole house all smiled as if they were celebrating a festival, but only the master who hid in one villa after another, his eyes were resentful like poison that would die at the slightest touch.

The old man is gone, what is he doing when he comes back? Look at his father?

Why haven't I seen him so filial before!

Isn't it just selling slaughter for glory and recognizing thieves as fathers, isn't it interesting to show off your might?

……

Those vigilant and vigilant eyes, as well as unspeakable thoughts, although light and weightless, have the great power to spoil people's moods.

The moment he got out of the car, Tu Bai's expression regained the condensation when he entered the door, like wearing a mask that would not cry or laugh. But before he could close the door and keep his expression on the table for a minute, a woman suddenly popped out, a giant sloth hanging around his neck.

"Second brother, you're finally back! Do you know that I'm almost dying of you these days! ”

Tu Chengen, 22 years old, graduated from university. Except for taking care of his father who is in a vegetative state, he does not have any regular job. Some time ago, she went to Tibet for a run, and prayed for her father's blessing.

Tu Bai couldn't withstand the impact of Cheng En's pounce, and couldn't help but take two steps back.

Seeing that she was tanned black and red all over her body, only the two rows of white teeth became more conspicuous, Tu Bai couldn't help frowning, and took her off in disgust.

"Miss me? Why don't you take the initiative to come and see me? Or tell me to deliver it myself? "Although Tu Bai was dissatisfied in his words, his eyes were rarely soft and defenseless." Tell me, when will you get home, and what will happen to calling me over......"

Cheng En got down from Tu Bai's body, and it was rare to show shame. It's just that she is open-minded by nature, and now she is dressed in black skin, which looks very weird.

She pouted and pushed past the man standing nearby.

"Hello second brother! My name is Xu Li, Cheng En's friend! If you meet for the first time, please take care of it! ”

The man looks quite heroic, and his gestures also have a free and uninhibited demeanor.

Cheng En couldn't help but glare at him when he gave him an important word "male" in his self-introduction as "corruption".

Xu Li looked at it as if he hadn't seen it, and calmly met Tu Bai's scrutinizing gaze.

Tu Bai's face was silent, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. I don't know if it's similar to the mentality of an old father who doesn't stay in the middle of a female university.

"Hello!" Without refusing his sister's face, Tu Bai smiled and nodded at Xu Li, but did not take the initiative to reach out his hand.

"Sit inside!" He did not shy away from turning his head to look at the strange blood relatives who were waiting for an opportunity to look around, and took the lead towards a small building. Xu Li wanted to continue to follow, but was pulled by Cheng Lu.

Tu Bai went upstairs alone and pushed open the easternmost door.

It's a bedroom, but it's so big that it's empty. Even the screens placed inside are more than ten meters away from the door.

Bypassing the screen, there is a large bed of antique carved mahogany. Next to the queen bed is a delicate dressing table, the most conspicuous of which is a newly planted bouquet of lilies.

Tu Bai stared at the bouquet intently, and the corners of his mouth hooked a cold and mocking smile.

After a long time, he slowly walked to the bed, raised his hand and hung up the layers of gauze tents.

The person in the gauze tent remained motionless as if he was asleep, allowing Tu Bai to lift the last veil, and his eyes fell on his face for a long time.

It was a face very similar to Tu Bai, but it was covered with fine lines and a blue face that looked much older than him.

"I'm here, stop by to see you."

Tu Bai sat down on the edge of the bed, brushing Tu Zehui's cheeks without the slightest warmth. "How's it going, how are you doing? It's not nice to keep your eyes closed all the time but can't sleep, right? ”

Tu Zehui didn't answer, and there was no change in his breathing.

"Chengen went to Tibet to pray for blessings, and brought a boyfriend back by the way, did she ask you to meet?"

Tu Zehui still didn't answer.

"Nope! Otherwise, why did she call me back?! ”

Tu Bai paused again, and whispered in Tu Zehui's ear: "-She just asked me to replace you and act as the head of the family!" You see, without you, everything is still fine; Even better than when you're awake! ”

Tu Zehui still didn't react at all.

Although he knew that the harm caused by words was tantamount to a fist, and although he knew that Tu Zehui's heart had a sense of everything he said, but he couldn't see the harm caused by his anger, Tu Bai quickly got tired of this game of cat and mouse.

He got up abruptly and went out, and Aunt Hong downstairs had already prepared lunch.

"Brother......" Chengen saw him appear and immediately got up, his eyes full of anticipation. Since she left this old mansion, her second brother has never stayed for a meal. Today, she wished he could make an exception for her.

"Waited, huh? Hurry up and sit down to eat! ”

Tu Bai easily understood her thoughts, and greeted her and Xu Li warmly, as if they were the real masters here.

The table was covered with home-cooked dishes that he loved to eat when he was a child: crystal fish balls, syrup tofu, soft-braised dice, and a product of eel silk...... However, after eating the whole meal, the only thing he touched was the pear blossom white he brought back from outside.

After withdrawing the dishes, the three of them sipped tea and gossiped. Although Xu Li didn't leak anything when he spoke, Tu Bai just didn't like him.

Taking advantage of Xu Li's efforts to go to the toilet, Tu Bai was trying to knock on Chengen, and he didn't want Luo Fei to call suddenly.

Luo Fei, Luo Que's elder brother, is a rising star in the real estate industry that should not be underestimated. Unlike Luo Que's lively temperament, he can not say a word for several days if he has to.

Therefore, if he can take the initiative to contact Tu Bai, something terrible must have happened.

Tu Bai didn't dare to delay for a moment to connect the phone, and his face suddenly changed after listening to a few words. He couldn't delay here any longer, so he just told Cheng Eun that he should not rush anything, and then left in a hurry.
