There was a noticeable pause in the middle.

Yes, what is needed? I blushed and waved my hand desperately at Wan Qian. Wan Qian cleared her throat, "Mr. Gao, no, I told Mr. Mei about the wedding." ”

"Oh."

"We always say ------"

"I'll talk about it when I get back."

As he spoke, the other party hung up the phone.

"Don't let him hang!"

Wan Qian stretched out her hands helplessly, "What's the solution?" It was someone who hung up first. ”

Wan Qian's expression was very innocent.

"Anyway, this matter is left to you, you tell him for me, I will not marry him if I die."

Wan Qian muttered from her throat: "I have the courage to sleep with others, but I don't have the courage to have a showdown with others." ”

The memories didn't remind me of how happy and eager I was at that time, so I ignored those details.

"Anyway." I gave my final order: "I will never marry him." I'll leave that to you. ”

Before the words fell, Lao Bai pushed the door in. Lao Bai is rarely out of shape.

"I heard you're getting married again?"

I was embarrassed by that. I quickly denied it.

"Nope! There is no shadow. ”

Lao Bai is also welcome. "It's almost all over the company."

"Who has so many tongues?"

I turned around and questioned Wan Qian.

"So---- is true?"

Lao Bai is always so good at capturing the stories in other people's words, and he can always hit the right shot.

I didn't dare to look up at her eyes, for the years had given me a pair of eagle-like eyes that were as wise and perceptive as an eagle. I don't know why I'm so scared of her.

The old white fox's suspicious eyes swept across my face.

"If that's the case, I'm also a lot relieved, about that Gao Tiancheng, there are rumors in the market that his money is not clean, this person is fine, if something happens, -----"

The old vernacular stopped, and his gaze remained cautiously on my face.

"He can't compare to Zhang Ruolei."

She couldn't help but speak for her named son. After saying that, she looked at me with deep meaning. I thought she was going to get up and say goodbye when she got the answer she wanted, but I didn't want her to sit down silently. first looked at Wan Qian, "Wan Qian, I have never beaten around the bush, you know." ”

Wan Qian nodded.

"I have something to say to you, Mr. Mei."

Wan Qian glanced at me, I nodded slightly, Wan Qian turned around and went out, and took the door to death.

"Don't let anyone disturb us."

Lao Bai shouted, she was still full of anger. I walked over and sat with her on the couch, the clock hand on the opposite wall pointing to a quarter past three in the afternoon.

"If you don't have anything else,"

Lao Bai stretched out his old hands, the epithelia has been obviously loose, since Zhang Fusheng died, she also has obvious retreat, it is I who have repeatedly retained, she promised to help me for a while, I also mentioned her son on the side, as soon as he was mentioned, Lao Bai remained silent for a long time.

"Kid." The first time Lao Bai called me like this, I was a little flattered

Amazingly, it had been a century since the last time she had spoken to me.

The skin on her hands already has obvious brown markings.

"There is one thing, I don't know if I have the opportunity to say it to Zhang Ruolei."

She spoke slowly, her tone as heavy as the curtain was slowly opening on the finale.

"You've been waiting for him." She clapped my hand, "I'm not." ”

I lowered my eyelids, the darkness that was about to appear reflected the sun lonely and lonely, if you look west from the window, you will find that the western sky is already the color of astaxanthin, it is a brilliant orange-red, like a cuckoo crying blood.

I know I'm just right to listen at the moment. I reached out and poured my tea, one for her and one for myself. The tea soup was light and clear, as flawless as a piece of jade.

"You must have heard, my son -----"

She bowed her head. The old neck was slightly raised, and from the chin to the ribcage, the old wrinkled skin was pulled into a straight line.

"Yes." She put down the teacup, "She is Zhang Fusheng's son." ”

"However, she is not Zhang Fusheng's son."

I looked down and decided to listen to her next story.

"How?"

She picked up the teacup again, and I held the pot, and the sound of water rippled. A leaf of tea swirls in her cup and eventually stops in the center of the cup, her eyes focused on the tea until it is completely still. The old man slowly brought the cup to his lips.

"Zhang Ruolei's biological mother's surname is Bai, and she is my sister."

I was really surprised by the news.

"You know the whole story of my sister. But she actually ------ "her withered fingers placed the cup securely on the tea table."

"I mean your dead mother-in-law. She didn't know that although my son was Zhang Fusheng's, in fact, Zhang Fusheng -----"

She lowered her eyelids, then raised her head again. "Zhang Ruolei is actually my nephew. For so many years, I have been watching from the sidelines, no matter what, in fact, I should take good care of him. But I -----"

She choked up as she spoke. Two lines of muddy old tears rolled out of those cloudy old eyes.

"Zhang Fusheng ----"

Her lips began to tremble. "After my sister died, our two families still kept in touch. Although he soon remarried, it did not affect his frequent visits to the house. One day, I was alone at home, and he came, and I had just graduated from college, and I didn't have any serious jobs, and he was separating from his current wife, and I heard that his wife was crazy at that time. I was glad he came, and I still call him brother-in-law. After a while, my parents came back and left him at home for dinner, as usual, my father would drink two Gu with him, and they talked very well that day, so Zhang Ruolei drank two more glasses. ”

Lao Bai sighed slowly, supported it with her hands, and stood up with difficulty, presumably the softness of the sofa made her sink too deeply.

She gasped, "I still blush a little when I think about it now, and I have to admit that I liked him back then." That night

, his father asked him to stay overnight, and he did not refuse. In the middle of the night, I walked into his room-------"

Lao Bai turned his head, "I don't have to go into detail about the next thing, over the years, everyone has said that he has a leg with me." Actually, "

Lao Bai stretched out a finger, "It's really only one leg." Because it was only that night, and it was that night that made me pregnant with my son. But he never really liked me, and he and I knew that, just like his wife, and he never touched me since. ”

Lao Bai turned around slowly, his old cheeks facing the sunset.

"I never believed that a man could not be close to a woman for the sake of a woman."

She smiled wryly and shook her head. "So I treat him too, both love and hate, intricate. So that time he got sick, I was actually right next to him, but for a moment, I wanted to watch him die in front of me. ”

"Meizi," she put her hand on me, "I don't know what I want to tell you." I know you've always wondered why my son is obviously Zhang Fusheng's bloodline, but I don't do anything for him in the Zhang family. But stupid boy, after so many years, I came alone, and he also gave me what I deserved, I have Zhang's shares, I don't have nothing. In public and private, Zhang Ruolei should share more than my son. I'm dead or gone, and everything I have in my hands isn't his? And all of this was actually given to me by Zhang Fusheng. ”

She slipped her hand off my shoulder and patted the back of my hand seemingly comfortingly.

"Meizi, I'm old, you can see the situation of the Zhang family, falling apart, Zhang Fusheng is gone, even if he doesn't go, I never thought of letting that child recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors----- I also have my pride. But I don't want you to marry someone else at this time. You and Zhang Ruolei ...... That kid I watched grow up, and he is my sister's only bloodline, and he is definitely not ruthless and unrighteous to you, which many people can see. I've seen it in the past two years, and you're waiting for him. Meizi, you've been waiting for two years. ”

Step by step, I retreated to the couch, my eyes looking out the window, reddish-brown clouds covering the sky, and two unknown birds flapping their wings high in the sky.

"Also," Bai sat down across from me. "I'm old and don't want to stay here."

I looked up at her, and she didn't hide from my gaze.

"I want to sell my shares in Zhang's, if I can, I don't want any fixed assets, I have discussed with Xiaorui ---- my son, we plan to leave here, he is a fitness coach, he plans to open a gym, wait for a few years when the business is on track, marry a wife and have children."

"Lao Bai," I eagerly confessed to her, I didn't want her to leave, if they all left, then what am I still holding on to here?

"Don't worry, I will never marry Gao Tiancheng."

Lao Bai looked at me, "Meizi, I didn't tell you, I don't think Xiaofen told you either." ”

"Say what?"

"We've been approached by mysterious people who want to buy our shares."

"What?"

"As far as I know, Xiaofen has initialed the sale and purchase agreement."

"What?"

I stood up with a "whoosh".

"Don't get excited." Lao Bai stood up, her stiff joints let out a slight moan, and she couldn't help but gasp with a "hiss".

I grabbed her with my backhand, and my back began to feel cold, and then I realized that things were far from being as simple as I thought.

Is it Xiao Han?

I do not know.

If Xiao Han intended to covet the Zhang family at the beginning, why did he introduce Gao Tiancheng to me?

Is it Gao Tiancheng?

Or is it Mr. Fang?

I was in a cold sweat.

Lao Bai sat quietly across from me, she was old, and after talking for so long, she didn't seem to know what she wanted to express. Is it stopping me from having a possible wedding? Or do you announce to me that you have finally decided to get out of the way?

Her gaze was hazel, not pure black pupils. The designer suit was loosely covered on her, and she really couldn't see the slightest bit of prestige.

When Wan Qian came in, the lights were bright, the lonely tree crows hovered in the dark blue sky, the pedestrians rushed and flowed in the direction of home, Lao Bai leaned on the surface of the black leather sofa, already drowsy, or Wan Qian's arrival made her wake up from her slumber.

"Oh,"

Her aging voice was no longer as majestic as it had been.

"Why am I here? Got off work? ”

She stood up trembling slightly, she should have retired a long time ago. After Zhang Fusheng's death, her physical condition actually deteriorated, and she made frequent mistakes in her work, making some low-level mistakes, but she spoke clearly just now, at least, she had explained everything she wanted to explain.

Wan Qian handed it over, Lao Bai's back shrank and lonely, walked to the door and turned around, and asked, Do you really want to get married.

Without waiting for me to answer, a person turned around and walked out, "Don't, don't get married again, don't get married." He won't marry me. ”

Wan Qian and I looked at each other.

I told Wan Qian that someone had started to contact them to buy their shares, and Zhang's sister-in-law had already initialed an agreement with the other party.
