The 80th birthday buffet was tasteless. The chairman of the board of directors was in poor health, so he only came out and showed his face and went back to the room early to rest, leaving us to be free and happy. And Zhang Jingen smiled and smiled at the scene, assisting Zhang Luo, the housekeeper of the Luo family, to greet these colleagues, just like a granddaughter-in-law.

Naturally, all employees are well-informed and courteous. The boss's home, how can he be presumptuous at will? But it's just polite.

When leaving, others either drive themselves or hitchhike. I am the only one who has no means of transportation above the manager level, and I wanted to continue to take another brand manager's car. Mr. Chen beckoned to me: "Sit on mine, I'll be more obedient." ”

I thought about it, and I said yes, and hurriedly opened the door and sat in the cab. As soon as I fastened my seatbelt, I heard the rear seat door open.

I looked back, and Luo Jincheng bent down and sat in.

As soon as he looked up, his eyes met, and the smile on his lips was vague. I hurriedly turned around, and Mr. Chen pulled down the handbrake, stepped on the accelerator and slipped out.

"Mr. San seems to have changed today, and he actually wants to pour you wine." Mr. Chen put the steering wheel and focused on the side of the road.

Luo Jincheng snorted, "Who doesn't know his little bit of caution, he just wants to show his affinity in front of the clansmen and win a little support." ”

I was silent, but I heard Luo Jin admit: "What did Jinrui tell you just now?"

I wandered around and realized that this was talking to me, and said seriously: "Before he could speak, you came in." ”

"You don't hear what he says."

Mr. Chen drove intently, as if he ignored the conversation between the two of us.

……

At the end of the day, Zhang Jingen came to my office for the first time to ask me out. You know, since I returned to City Y, she hasn't been to my place, let alone a respectful dinner.

I pulled out my standard smile: "Why does Zhang Dong have time to come to my cold office?" ”

She didn't sit down, but said condescendingly: "I wanted to send a text message, but I was afraid that you would not appreciate your face, so I came to invite you personally." I see that you are also going to get off work, let's have a meal or a cup of tea together. ”

As we approached the end of the day, I caught a glimpse of my colleagues projecting their eyes into my office from time to time. I said calmly: "Yes, you can decide the location, just have a cup of tea." "Let's see what tricks she plays.

Employees at or above the director level can have half of the working days per month, and they can flexibly arrange their working hours. We left work early and took the same elevator and kept falling. The smooth wall of the elevator reflects the delicate figures of the two of us side by side, which is too subtle.

In the time-honored teahouse near the company, Zhang Jingen has already booked a small private room. She ordered four kinds of refreshments with great interest, closed the menu and handed it to the waiter, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I ate less in the evening, and I also consider that you may not have the heart to eat later." ”

I pursed my lips and smiled silently, just drinking tea quietly. It's a good thing, I don't have the leisure to dine with you.

"Please." I put down the teacup and said lightly.

She put away her smile, pulled out a document bag from her large handbag, took a document out of it, pushed it with her fingers, and handed it to me.

**A few lines of the words hospital, my mother's name "Shu Xiuqing" came into my eyes dazzlingly, and side by side, there was also the chairman's name Luo Yonghuai.

I raised my eyebrows and heard the sound of a mountain collapsing in my heart.

I grabbed the document in black and white, and the mist blurred my vision.

This is a copy of the blood test, and the probability of paternity is 99.99%! With the chairman's connections, why is it difficult to get my mother's hair or blood.

If this testimonial is true, then mom ...... Is it the chairman's daughter?

...... year

I heard her laugh contemptuously in the midst of the buzzing confusion, and came to my senses a little. He breathed a sigh of relief and tried his best to restrain himself: "Tomorrow I can also get a certificate that you are not related to your father by blood." ”

She took a sip of tea in her left hand, pressed the document I pushed back with her right hand, and said with a smile: "Look at the date, you should be glad that you are the descendant of a rich man." ”

When I looked at it, it was a date more than three years ago. She said in a timely manner: "I don't believe it's true either, I went to the mansion that day and accidentally saw it from the chairman's desk." It is said that curiosity scares the cat to death, I didn't hold back for a while and took a picture, this is a photo printed document, not the original, but it is true. You can doubt its authenticity, but if you think about it, why did the chairman of the board of directors transfer dry shares and give shares to you or your mother in the past three years? Is it really the origin of the past? I wondered before, but at that moment it dawned on me that he had a hard time in his heart. Your mother must have been haunted by it, and the chairman can't go against her will to admit it unilaterally. ”

She squinted at my trembling hand resting on the table, and continued, "Now he suspects that his time is short...... Alas, it's not good for me to say this, I naturally hope that he will live a long life, but people will inevitably think about it at his ancient age, and always hope to make up for the regrets of the year in the last lifetime. So, I wasn't surprised at all that he beckoned you to him that day. Human nature, I was quite moved when I looked at it. It doesn't matter if you don't know, your mother is also a ruthless person, and she actually ignores it, and she feels cold when she looks at it.

The share of the family property you deserve will not be less, just sorry for you. You and Brother Cheng...... It's actually cousins, it's horrifying to think about. ”

I asked coldly: "Why didn't you tell Luo Jincheng about this, but instead came to me to offer treasures?" ”

She put down the teacup and pressed it into my slightly swollen eyes: "Do you think he will not know?" He has been crisscrossing the shopping mall for more than ten years, will he still be like you, naively thinking that the chairman is generous to give up shares for peace of mind?

Why is he indifferent when you have a miscarriage? How many men in their thirties who have successful careers are not looking forward to their families and children? Yes, he seems to take care of you, giving you preferential treatment in your profession that is hard for others to achieve. But why hasn't he ever contacted you for three years, never going to ZY? Why did he leave you when you came back, and be courteous to you? ”

She suddenly got up and leaned over, her eyes widening: "Because he pities you, but he suffers from the blood relationship between your two cousins!" He wanted to fight, but he was in a high position and couldn't bear the eyes of the world! He struggled in his heart, but a person like him had already been more rational than everything! ”

I froze there, my blood congealing all over my body. It is undeniable that Zhang Jingen knows the relationship between me and Luo Jincheng well in the past few years, and the way she advanced step by step really poked at my sore spot!

The memories in my mind passed by like movie clips, and the doubts in my heart seemed to have finally found the answer to the explanation at this moment!

But......

I tried my best to calm down the frenzy in my heart, and suddenly raised my eyes: "Since you didn't have my refreshments, I won't accompany you." I received everything you want to express, no thanks. ”

grabbed her bag and got up to leave, but she seemed unwilling: "Blood relationship within three generations, you won't still have illusions." Even if you are willing, Brother Cheng has such a social status, he may not be able to withstand so much criticism, and his identity as an illegitimate child will not be seen in the light, do you still want to push him into the abyss? ”

My fingers sank into the flesh, my throat could no longer make a sound, and I forced myself to walk steadily out of the private room.

In May, the weather in Y City starts to get hot. I stumbled through the office buildings in the CBD, my soles were limp, and my whole body was still shaking. Zhang Jingen is nothing more than trying to draw an insurmountable gap between me and him, and her words may not be 100% credible.

But why is it so reasonable?

I wanted to call my mom and confirm the answer with her, but I finally stopped. I was afraid of the moment when the truth was revealed.

I thought of Luo Jincheng's indifference in the ward back then, his determination to drive me away, his firmness in inviting me to build a franchise store after I returned to Y City, and his tepid attention.

Desolation spreads all over the limbs!

Levia's phone came in at this time, and I pressed it directly in a hurry, but I heard his voice full of surprise: "It's rare that you answered my phone at the first time, I'm really flattered." Where is it? Have a meal together when you're done? ”

I was about to refuse, but he said, "Don't move, just stand where you are, I'll be there in ten seconds." ”

As soon as he turned around, his black mass drove over.

I calmed down, but walked over blankly. He rolled down the window and poked his head out, "It's my birthday, can you spend it with me?" ”

I was stunned, but I heard him say: "New calendar birthday, I'm going to Japan on a business trip next month, thinking that it will be too early, otherwise I will be alone again, and it feels too bad." ”

Seeing his pretended pity expression, I hesitated for a few seconds before relenting into the passenger cab. No matter how ruthless you are, you shouldn't let people be disappointed on their birthdays.

I said, "I'm sorry, I didn't have a present. ”

"It's okay, I'm grateful that you can accompany me like a friend." He glanced at me and happily stepped on the gas.

He seemed to be happy, and even though the road was congested like constipation at this time, he was not annoyed.

……

He took me to a western restaurant, and it was said that he and the owner were friends, so it was easy to wait for a table. When I sat down in front of the window, I went to the bathroom and ordered a small cake from the restaurant manager. Birthdays can be without gifts, but there must always be a cake. The restaurant manager glanced in the direction of Livia, and did not forget to remind: "Do you want to write anything?" ”

"Let's just write Happy Birthday."

……

I think tonight's experience was really colorful, because on my way back to my seat, I actually bumped into Zeng Weihua.

I haven't seen him for three years, but he actually has a slightly shy belly and a round face. The big boy who was sunny back then has already begun to get lucky.

"Shu Hua, I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that you have returned to Y City with glory." His smile seemed to be a little more calm, a little calm.

"It's not about glory, it's just that the company moved back to the headquarters and had to come back." I smiled faintly, the past grievances have long sunk to unknown places, and when I see you again after many years, I will never be able to make any waves.

"And ...... Friends together? Where to sit," he asked, thoughtfully.

I raised my chin and pointed in Levia's direction. Zeng Weihua only smiled slightly, "Then I'll have time to talk another day." ”

Before leaving, he handed me a business card: Zeng Weihua, vice president of the Ruiyun Road branch of the bank's Y city.
