Chapter 32: Invisible Love
Twenty minutes later, the tidy little boy sat on a wooden chair with a steaming glass of milk in front of him.
His empty gaze fell in an unknown direction, and his face was a little more bloody.
"My name is Chen Aicheng, I'm not lost, I'm looking for a tree......"
Chen Aicheng is 13 years old, in junior high school, and lives in Dongcheng District, and came to Nancheng District to find a tree, a tree that has accompanied him for seven years.
"My father's name is Chen Chuliang, and my mother's name is Cheng Yu, so my name is Chen Aicheng. That tree was planted by my parents when I was born. ā
Chen Aicheng used to live nearby, and 13 years ago, his parents planted a tree in their yard to commemorate their son's arrival.
The tree grows taller every year, and Chen Aicheng grows up every year, from learning to talk and walk next to the sapling, to then easily climbing to the thick trunk.
That tree was a witness to the happiness of the family until six years ago.
During the summer vacation when he was 7 years old, Chen Aicheng accidentally fell from a tree, and the sharp branches scratched his eyes, and since then, he has not seen anything.
The tree that once symbolized happiness became a source of pain, Chen Chuliang and Cheng Yu began to blame each other, complain, and finally broke down and divorced.
Chen Aicheng was awarded by the court to his father, and his mother left the sad place of R City after the divorce. Not long after, Chen Chuliang sold the house here and moved to Dongcheng District with Chen Aicheng.
Since then, Chen Aicheng has never seen his mother or the tree.
Wu Ning looked at Chen Aicheng sympathetically, what he wanted to find was not the tree, but the complete home from the past.
"Mom went far away, and I couldn't find her, so I wanted to find the tree, and I could touch it."
Chen Aicheng's immature face was full of loneliness, "Dad said that there are doctors abroad who can cure my eyes, and I will go abroad soon, and I will ...... in the future Maybe not coming back. ā
"I'll take this business, and I'll find you a tree."
Wu Jiu spoke lightly, he was not infected by Chen Aicheng's story at all, and he was completely heartless.
Chen Aicheng moved his body uneasily: "IāI don't have any money for you." ā
Wu Jiu hooked the corners of his mouth at him, smiling strangely and charmingly, but unfortunately Chen Aicheng couldn't see it.
Thinking of this, he put away his smile, rolled his eyes and said, "Don't want money, I'll tell you what I want when I find what you want." ā
Chen Aicheng was too young to hear the subtext of this sentence, so he nodded without hesitation: "Okay." ā
Wu Jiu proudly raised his chin at Wu Ning: "The deal is established." ā
ā¦ā¦
Wu Jiu, who accidentally picked up the customer, was unprecedentedly generous and agreed to let Chen Aicheng temporarily live in the "rest area", but fortunately, there were two sofas in it, and he could live there.
Wu Ning took care of Xiao Aicheng and fell asleep after drinking milk, pulled up the screen and came to the desk.
Wu Jiuzheng was teasing Wu Heishan with a gold bar, watching Wu Heishan jump up and down and have fun.
"Boss." Wu Ning's face was worried, and he wanted to speak again.
"If you have something to say, let it go."
Wu Ning thought of the first few commissions, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger: "I think it's not very good every time we entrust our people." Chen Aicheng is so young and so sensible, I ......"
"What are you?" Wu Jiu had enough of playing and threw the gold bar into the air.
Wu Heishan rose into the air vigorously, and the dog's tongue stretched out, and the golden light disappeared from the corner of its mouth.
"I can't bear it." Wu Ning still said it, and he asked tentatively: "Can you not accept this commission?" ā
After these events, he had subconsciously realized that the commission they had accepted was more like a trial of these guests than of helping them, in an attitude of justice that he could not understand.
This kind of trial, without empathy and impersonalness, is a kind of cold extreme justice, which makes him very uncomfortable.
"Didn't they all get what they wanted? Is the result unfair? ā
Wu Jiu's voice was faint, and he couldn't hear his emotions.
It's fair, yes, but ......
Wu Ning was at a loss for a while, but he couldn't say anything to refute.
ā¦ā¦
In the early morning after the rain, the air is much fresher, the cicadas are no longer harsh, and the sun is unusually soft.
When Wu Ning woke up, he found that Chen Aicheng had already gotten up and sat on the sofa bed in a daze with a pair of unfocused eyes.
The environment was too foreign to him, and the best way not to cause trouble was to keep quiet.
Wu Ning was a little distressed, this kid was too sensible.
"Come, I'll take you to wash."
He took Xiao Ai Cheng's hand and took him to the bathroom.
Wu Jiu woke up early, and he was overly enthusiastic about this commission, which made Wu Ning feel more and more uneasy.
The boss is eager to work, and the employees naturally have to be more active. The three of them simply had breakfast and went out directly.
Chen Aicheng's address in memory is No. 102 Wen'an Road, but that was six years ago.
Nancheng District has experienced a merger area, in addition to some road names have been changed, and many old houses have also been demolished.
Wen'an Road has not changed its name, but it has become a commercial street, and the central location has also been changed to a leisure park, and after checking the map, it was found that it happened to contain the former No. 102.
Wu Ning was a little dumbfounded when he looked at the park in front of him, he thought that this commission was very simple, how difficult could it be to find a tree to plant in the small courtyard? The worst outcome is nothing more than being cut down or transplanted.
It now appears that the possibility of cutting down or transplanting is greatly reduced, as the entire park is full of trees as far as the eye can see.
"Ai Cheng, do you remember what kind of tree it was?"
Chen Aicheng took Wu Ning's hand, thought for a while and said, "The gray tree has many cracks on the trunk, and the leaves are green, like a heart. ā
Wu Ning's skull ached faintly, and this description was true on most trees.
"Boss, or ...... Do you smell it? ā
Wu Ning, who was not afraid of death, once again hit the boss with his idea.
"You want to die young, don't you?" Wu Jiu said gloomily.
Wu Ning shrunk his neck and said with a bitter face: "Otherwise, what should I do, do you have to ask Xiao Ai Cheng's father directly, who did the house sell to......
Before he finished speaking, Chen Aicheng had a sluggish expression for the first time, and shook his head excitedly: "No, I can't tell my father, my father won't let me come back, he will be very angry if he knows." ā
Wu Ning spread his hands towards Wu Jiu, and his face said what you said.
Wu Jiu tugged at the corners of his mouth disdainfully: "It's not simple. ā
ā¦ā¦
After paying 28 yuan for the fare, the three of them came to a small courtyard where they lived alone.
Wu Ning looked at the courtyard in front of him, every inch of land in Nancheng District is expensive, and being able to have an independent courtyard here is tantamount to owning a villa, and the people the boss knows are really rich or expensive.
It's late summer, but the plants are still growing luxuriantly, and the whole courtyard is full of life and flowers.
Wu Ning pulled Xiao Ai Cheng to follow the boss, walked through the grapevine corridor, and stopped in front of a white wooden door.
The two-story small building with red walls and blue tiles is impressive, literary and chic.
Wu Ning couldn't help but reverie, what kind of unearthly person he was worthy of living in such a beautiful paradise.
Perhaps, it is a stunning fairy with a look comparable to that of a boss......
Wu Jiu stretched out his foot and kicked the wooden door lightly, and said leisurely: "Open the door, Niu Kelian." ā
Cattle...... Wretched?!
Wu Ning's face fell.
