Postscript 3: Mother and Son
After dealing with the accumulated business on the route these days, I leaned back in my office chair and stretched lazily. At this moment, there was a rhythmic knock on the office door, and I laughed inwardly, only she would do this kind of act that seemed to be looking for fun in boredom.
"Please come in."
The door was pushed open, and the misty fragrance appeared there gracefully, and walked in with a smile on her face.
"Gambino Sr. had passed away last night, and now little George and his brothers were on guard against each other. Chen Mo, you have become a fragrant bun in their eyes again! Remember when Kimberley died more than twenty years ago? It's exactly the same as the script back then! ”
Unlike Kirika's excited look, I suddenly lost my mind.
"What's wrong with you? Their Gambino family has been fighting with us for more than 20 years, aren't you just waiting for this day? ”
I said, "Actually...... After the initial operation of all the games, only the long games remain. Then, it was a stalemate, and it became a desperate life. Just like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei and Sun Quan were so wonderful before they died. Hehe, isn't it ironic and boring? I'm just lucky, I'm more than twenty years younger than the old Gambino. ”
Wuxiang bit her lip, her expression a little unwilling, "I know, you actually miss her." ”
I sighed silently.
"If Gu Yunni is here, she doesn't need to wait that long at all, with her means, ......"
I shook my head and motioned for her to say no more, "It's me who is bad. ”
Wuxiang walked around the table, came over and sat on my lap and hugged me, "Chen Mo......"
At this moment, the door was pushed open without warning, and a girl with a big wavy double ponytail rushed in. She looked at us and hugged us, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, "Hey, what do you want to do in broad daylight." ”
Anyway, it's not the first time I've been bumped into by her, and I'm used to it. Unhurriedly, he stood up and said, "Guoguo, why are you here?" ”
"My mom asked me to come and stay with my dad for a few days." As he spoke, he walked over and sat on my lap, where Wuxiang had sat just now, "Dad~~ When are you going to buy me that CCXR!" ”
My ass was so weak that I almost collapsed, "I think you're sincere enough to come over and pester me to buy you a sports car!" ”
"It's my eighteenth birthday soon, how many eighteenth birthdays can there be in my life!"
"No, no, no, my Guoguo will always be eighteen years old......"
"Do you buy it or not!"
"If you don't buy it, you don't have any money."
"Then I'll tell the second mother about you and Aunt Coco!"
My eyes widened, "You're crazy, what can I do with her!" ”
"When I see it, the second mother would rather believe it or believe it!"
I rubbed my aching forehead and lamented, "Who the hell did you learn this from?" How can you say that your mother is a famous family and a beautiful lady, how did she give birth to such a little goblin as you! ”
Chen Guo stuck out his tongue and said justifiably, "Anyway, you are just one of my daughters, if you don't spoil me, who else can you spoil me?" ”
I opened my mouth, finally sighed, and tentatively said, "Or...... My chiron, do you take it? ”
She beat my chest hatefully, "Okay, you Chen Mo, you actually let me drive a second-hand car, I'm so suitable for second-hand goods!" ”
"Don't make a fuss...... I'm your old man's ......," I grabbed her little fist and drove her down with all my might, and said to Wuxiang on the side: "You hurry up and call Lan Kexin and ask her to bring this piece back to me!" ”
Wuxiang glanced at me, "If you want to beat yourself, I don't dare to touch her moldy head." ”
"Aunt Xiang~~~" Chen Guo suddenly changed his goal, hugged Wu Xiang and rubbed it on her chest, "Shall I sleep with you tonight?" Aunt Xiang, what do you eat on weekdays, can you grow so big...... Hmm, no wonder Dad likes you so much. ”
Wuxiang blushed, obviously unable to withstand her teasing.
I twitched the corner of my mouth, I couldn't work with peace of mind anyway, so I left the company with Chen Guo and Wuxiang and went home.
When we got home, Xie Li saluted us, "Master is healthy, Miss Wuxiang is healthy, Miss Guoguo is healthy." ”
I coughed a little and said to her, "How many times have you said it, don't call me sir......"
Xie Li showed a puzzled expression, "But, that's what it's called in the movies?" ”
"What weird movie did you watch?" I asked casually.
"Don't, sir." Xie Li replied seriously with a red face.
For a moment, I felt the urge to dismiss the maid......
When I changed my shoes, I saw a bright yellow sleeveless trench coat hanging from the hanger next to me, which I remember was what she wore when she went out the other day. So I asked Shelly, "Peony is back?" ”
She nodded, "Yes, Madame just came back. Look at her face...... It doesn't seem to be in a good mood. ”
As soon as the words 'not in a good mood' came out, the three of us, including Chen Guo and Wuxiang on the side, couldn't help but shudder. I mechanically turned my head and asked Wuxiang, "This side of Wanhua City, now...... Who else is there? Is Charlie still around? ”
Two drops of cold sweat oozed from Wuxiang's forehead, "Uh, because Peony is here in person, so...... Xia Li was transferred to Port Velon. ”
She seemed to remember that when Peony was in a bad mood more than a month ago, she directly demolished the Wanjia villa where she had lived for more than 20 years with her bare hands, and the shadow was still there. Then...... Peony stood in the rubble with her bare hands and shattered a pillar with one punch, and Wuxiang broke down in my arms and asked me what she had done wrong! Actually, I'd love to tell her that you almost killed her son...... But I still couldn't help but say nothing.
The corners of my mouth twitched, and I remembered that Coco had recently been in charge of the Diamond Rebellion and the truth about Qingyu's death, and that I had sent the forest bird to the United States to assist Ji Xiang and the Gambino family. Zhanyi and Li Amaran, who had been following me before, one was sent by me to protect Tang Bin, and the other was sent by me to keep an eye on Chen Rui. In other words, if the peony starts to rush again, no one can stop it......
"By the way, Aunt Xiang," Chen Guo swallowed his saliva and said, "I suddenly remembered that there is a newly opened grilled fish restaurant here, and I didn't have time to eat it before I left last time, or ...... Shall we go out to dinner tonight? ”
Kirika nodded in agreement, "There are also new movies, don't miss it!" ”
After that, the big and the small who reached a consensus held hands and immediately left the house.
I took a deep breath, sorted out my emotions, and walked up to the second floor, feeling quite windy......
In the room, it was a mess, and Peony had already smashed everything that could be smashed. I was really afraid that she would break a load-bearing wall with a punch, so I tentatively asked, "Why don't you ...... Are you going to my study and smash it? ”
"I've already been there."
The corners of my mouth twitched,!
She sighed and sat down on top of the half-collapsed Simmons, rubbing her head between her brows with one hand.
I walked over lightly, sat down beside her, and put my arm around her shoulder. But...... This action seemed to anger her. Peony grabbed me by the collar and pressed me directly to the ground, and then rode up. This posture is very similar to when she came to assassinate me in the hospital.
"You...... What are you doing, I don't have to fall! Although I knew that she wouldn't hurt me, I still pretended to be weak.
A mist gradually rose in her eyes.
I suddenly came back to my senses and remembered something, and asked her with wide eyes, "I said, where have you been running these days, you...... You're not going to see him, are you? ”
"Can't I go see him?"
"Didn't we say yes at the time, you also know what kind of life Chen Rui is living now, and he even got into trouble with Su Huai! If we hadn't done that back then, then he would be the one who is fighting with Su Huai now! ”
"Don't tell me this! If he has three longs and two shorts, the first person I will kill will still be your precious apprentice! ”
I sighed, "What if Su Huai died?" There is also Wuxiang in the back, as well as Jin Jiu, Ji Xiang, Jinteng, Chai Ye, and Dong Bai! These are all his roadblocks, do you want to help him kill them one by one? We're not a family that is tied together by blood, we're more of a gang, and that's going to break us down. Wouldn't it be good to let him live an ordinary life? ”
"Is he the day of ordinary people! Never met my own parents......"
I then sighed, "When I said that he would arrange a pair of parents, you didn't agree......"
Peony finally couldn't help it, uncontrollable tears fell down, all dripping on my face...... "Why do you want to do this, you have other children, you don't care at all...... But he is my only child, if he becomes someone else's child...... So what do I do? What do you want me to do......"
Peony grabbed my collar hoarsely, and my heart was also extremely uncomfortable. There is no doubt that the person I love the most is her, and the most important thing is naturally our children. So even if he doesn't know I exist, I want him to live his life in peace. That's probably what my father wanted me to do.
But does Peony understand me?
Like any middle-aged couple, there was already a crisis between us. She felt that because I had other children, I was indifferent to him.
"Peony...... You know, since I embarked on this path, I haven't been worried about the heir's affairs. I've seen too many of these things, the Lebrese family more than 20 years ago, the Su family, and now the Gambino family. That's why I've been in moderation, and Gu Yunni even ...... because of this."
"Hehe......" Peony suddenly sneered, "Do you think that the fog fragrance is even more desirable to you at this point?" I've known her since I was eight years old, and I've never noticed her being ...... Shameless! The girl who was loved so much by Yan Yi that she was reluctant to touch herself, she was willing to go for sterilization in order to please you! Can you be more shameless! ”
"Why, do you think she's shameless? You don't think ...... Did she give up the opportunity to be a mother for the sake of our Black Reef family? ”
"If she doesn't be your woman, won't she be nothing?"
I looked at her silently, speechless......
"Yes, you're right, I'm shameless!"
Peony let go of me and stood up, silently walked to the window and looked outside, "That's why I would be so stupid, I listened to your words and separated our flesh and blood for twenty years!" She turned around and looked down at me condescendingly, "Remember the old days...... What did I say to you on a midsummer night in Obana City, when the Hyakki walked at night? If I insisted on not being your woman, but Kirika had a baby with you. Do you think she would do this to her children? ”
I stood up and thought about it, then nodded.
"No, she won't. She'll do everything in her power to protect him! ”
A bad premonition began to strike, and I cautiously asked, "You...... What to do? ”
"I'm going to take him back!" Peony said decisively.
"You...... Are you crazy? My eyes widened, "What do you want Chen Rui to do?" It's your adopted son for more than 20 years! ”
"Of course it would be best if he would consider him a brother."
"Don't you know the character of the child you brought yourself? With that kid's ambition......"
"Then I'll give him life or death!" Peony said coldly.
I gasped, "You, you're pushing the Black Reef family to a dead end!" You're going to let ...... Wuxiang's efforts over the years have all been in vain? ”
"So you don't care about him at all......" Peony looked at me sadly, "For me, even if I lose the Secret Burial Society, I don't care!" ”
I was suddenly upset by what she said, exhaled heavily, and looked at her, "Without the Secret Funeral Society, what do you do to protect yourself?" You, Queen of the Dark World, how many people in the world are crazy about wanting your life right now!? You're not young anymore, how many more years can you play? Have you forgotten how Valkyrie died three years ago? Forget what those people did to her when she died? Do you want to do the same? When you die, who will protect him? What the hell got me to where I am today? When we first arrived in Port Veron, who desperately wanted me to take this path! But have you ever thought that this is never an easy way to get out! ”
Peony's head drooped lower and lower, and I could see that she was struggling desperately at this time. I knew she would compromise, and she didn't want her children to go through it again, just thinking about what we're going through right now.
"Don't talk about it...... I just don't go. Finally, Peony said.
After a pause, she added, "But...... Do you know? He's really a good boy...... Not only did they not blame us, but they ...... us Hold out hope. Stepfather...... Teach him well...... Hmmm......"
Peony covered her cheeks and began to cry, and I sighed and walked over and put her arm around my shoulder.
……
Suddenly, a rush of footsteps almost out of rhythm came from outside, and Binglian rushed in in a very anxious manner, with bandages still tied around her arms.
"Division...... Master! Godfather! The eldest young master, he ...... He ......"
"That's what happened to him?" When I turned my head to ask her, Peony turned around at the same time to take the time to wipe the tears from her face.
Binglian breathed two sighs of relief, and then said, "He wants to kill Chen Rui!" Just last night, as soon as I received the news of Li Amaranth, I rushed over, and when Chen Rui just returned to Haitian City, I fought with him and Kikyo to lose both! ”
Peony frowned, "Why did he kill Chen Rui, didn't I ask you to tell them not to have any more contact?" ”
"The news of Miss Tang's engagement has been released, and the object is...... Chen Rui, the eldest young master can't sit still! ”
