After dinner, I made a cup of tea and sent it to Xiao Lianshan, he had ignored me for a long time, I saw Han Yu chatting with him in a happy mood, and I wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Xiao Lianshan calmly.

"Dad, look at how good your brother is to you, I still remember that you like to drink green tea." Gu Xiaoxiao came over and took the tea in my hand and handed it to Xiao Lianshan.

"I don't expect you to be good to me, you can just be good to yourself." The smile on Xiao Lianshan's face was put away, and he glanced at me lightly.

"Dad, there are no outsiders here, I was raised by you, your business is my business, there is nothing that our father and son can't solve together, although you are released now, you are still involved in the murder after all." I stood in front of him and said sincerely. "Can you tell us everything, we can figure it out together."

"Take care of yourself, you don't have to worry about my business." Xiao Lianshan turned his head and said coldly. "Anyway, you're grown up now, and you don't listen to what I say to your mother."

"Dad, you can't talk to my brother properly." Gu Xiaoxiao pulled Xiao Lianshan's hand and pouted. "Brother, it's not for your own good."

"Rong Yan, let him handle your father's affairs by himself, you don't know his temperament." Gu Anqi came over and patted me on the shoulder and said amiably. "Besides, it's better not to know some things than to know."

Obviously, this time even Gu Anqi is deliberately hiding something from me, they don't seem to care about the murder that happened at all, the more this happens, the more worried I become.

"Mom, Dad is involved in a murder case, and now there are three murders, of course I believe that Dad will not do anything hurtful to nature, but this is not something that we can say by believing." I took Gu Anqi's hand and said seriously. "You ask me to help Dad, you tell me what happened, and I will definitely be able to return Dad's innocence."

"You can save it, return my innocence, do I need someone to prove my innocence, I have been sitting upright in my life, and it is not your turn to help me prove it on the merits." Xiao Lianshan took a deep breath and said coldly. "If you really help me, don't make trouble, the more you do, the more wrong you will be."

The corners of my mouth squirmed and suddenly I realized that the old man in front of me was so strange, and even became a little unreasonable, he didn't understand my feelings and thoughts at all, everything I did was for his good, but in his eyes all my efforts were in vain.

"You can't look down on what I do, I used to be and still is, I just want to make achievements to prove to you that I'm right, but you won't agree and praise what I do......"

"Rong Yan!" Gu Anqi saw that I was actually talking to Xiao Lianshan in such a tone, and increased her voice to stop it.

"I want to say, I'm going to say it all today, you've been paving the way for me since I was a child, but you've never asked me if those are my favorites, I've been compromising to cater to you in order to make you happy, but you've never been satisfied." I tried to spit out the words that I had suppressed in my heart as soon as possible. "I want to be your pride, but in the end I am useless in your eyes."

"Brother...... "Gu Xiaoxiao probably didn't expect me to say this, and looked at me strangely.

"Okay, okay, if you go on, I want to hear about the grievances you have held in your heart over the years." Xiao Lianshan waved his hand to interrupt Gu Xiaoxiao, panting and looking at me with a solemn face.

Gu Anqi anxiously pulled my sleeve and signaled me not to say any more, maybe I had been holding back in my heart for too long, and I couldn't control my emotions at all, but instead of calming down, my voice became heavier.

"Since I was a child, you will not allow anything I am interested in, I want to study metaphysics, you will do everything possible to prevent or even emptie all the books related to metaphysics in my mother's study, I want to do what I like, but you have never supported any of my decisions and ideas, why? Why can I be small, why can't I. I shook off Gu Anqi's hand and asked Xiao Lianshan loudly. Later I understood, because I wasn't your own after all! ”

Syllable!

The pain on my face was scorching, and I felt a little dizzy, but at the moment my heart hurt even more, this slap did not make me sober, I opened my mouth and looked at Gu Anqi with a blank and helpless gaze, she never scolded me when she was so big, let alone beat me.

But this slap hit me firmly in the face, I subconsciously reached out to touch my swollen and sore cheeks, Yun Duruo and the others all stood up, they didn't expect such a thing to happen, and they all looked at me at a loss.

Gu Xiaoxiao covered her mouth, she couldn't believe that Gu Anqi would hit me, even the corners of Xiao Lianshan's mouth twitched, and the anger towards me just now was gone, leaving heartache and surprise.

I looked at Gu Anqi blankly, I used to be such a loving person in my heart, I couldn't accept being reprimanded by her because it was a kind of despair that made me lose everything, Gu Anqi couldn't help but take a step back, she looked blankly at the hand she hit me, I don't think even she can accept this fact, her fingers slowly bent and trembled, and her eyes were full of regret and apology and stretched out to me.

I shook my head and rushed out, like a child who had left home in a bad mood, and I felt abandoned at that moment, because I knew that they were too good to me, and I couldn't accept even the slightest contrast.

I don't know when it will be drizzling outside, I rushed into the rain The cold rain penetrated into my clothes, I covered my face but felt colder in my heart, until I felt the soft warmth in my palms, and when I turned around, I saw Yun Duruo chasing out, she held my hand and stood with me in the rain, she didn't even comfort me for half a word, she understood that I knew that I was uncomfortable now and wanted a moment of silence.

I clenched her hand like a drowning person holding the last straw, I was afraid of losing and even more afraid of being abandoned by the person who loved me the most, the cold rain made me gradually begin to wake up a little, Yun Duruo leaned his head on my shoulder, I felt that the heart without temperature was slowly reviving and melting.

I led Yun Duruo to sit on the bench under the eaves, and she gently stroked my red and swollen cheeks.

"Does it hurt?"

I shook my head, took out a cigarette and put it in the corner of my mouth, and when I took the lighter, Yun Duruo suddenly said seriously.

"Don't blame Aunt Gu, it's actually them who are really sad when you say something like that."

"I know." I lit my cigarette, took a deep breath and nodded. "I was so impulsive, I didn't take into account their feelings, in fact I said the most stinging thing about them."

"You know, calm down, you should go back and apologize to them." Yun Duruo smiled faintly and said with relief. "By the way, I can see that Aunt Gu loves you very much, but although Uncle Xiao is very cold in front of you, he values you from the bottom of his heart, Aunt Gu beat you just now not because you said the wrong thing, but because you lived up to Uncle Xiao's dedication to you, you ruthlessly erased his kindness to you with a word of anger, it can be seen that Aunt Gu also knows how heavy you are in Uncle Xiao's heart, only the person who cares the most can hurt yourself, and you hurt the person who is the best for you......"

"I know, I know." I pursed my lips and buried my head in remorse.

"What kind of person is Uncle Xiao, I think he is quite kind, why can't you get along with him?" Yun Duruo asked curiously.

What kind of person is he......

I remember that I have never commented on Xiao Lianshan in front of anyone, although I don't know much about his experience and past, but I am very familiar with his character.

"Do you know what loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith mean?" I took a puff of cigarette and looked at Yun Duruo in response to the question.

Yun Duruo nodded suspiciously, waiting for me to continue.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, if you ask him what kind of person he is, he is basically portrayed according to these seven words."

I leaned back in my chair and looked at the misty front and told Yun Duruo that Xiao Lianshan can stand up for his family and country at any time, and if he is given a knife in the troubled times of ancient times, he will be able to go to Yue Wumu, who is loyal to the country, this is his loyalty, filial piety needless to say, to people like Xiao Lianshan, filial piety first.

Since I can remember, the people around me who have known Xiao Lianshan have been full of respect for him, and it has nothing to do with his wealth, but he was born with a heart that is kind and benevolent to others, and his benevolence runs through almost the trajectory of his entire life, and it also deeply affects me.

Regarding righteousness, I have less contact with this point, although Xiao Lianshan has many friends, but there are very few deep friends, no! Probably not, at least in the twenty years I have been with him, I have never heard him mention any friends, which makes me very strange, with his character, it is impossible not to have friends who are confidants of each other, but this does not affect his righteousness, if there is something to ask him to do, he will inevitably stick a knife in both sides.

Etiquette should mean humility, he was originally a very honest and honest person, and he was polite and courteous in dealing with people, as for wisdom...... Xiao Lianshan is about to be almost in this regard, he is the kind of person who has no scheming at all, and he doesn't have a plan at all, but because of this, in my eyes, he is a wise and foolish person.

"Needless to say, Dad, he has always been a good person, and he never breaks his promise." Gu Xiaoxiao's voice came from behind us, and I looked back to see her walking up to us with a smile and saying to Yun Duruo. "In short, my dad can't change his stubborn temper, and he is an impeccable good person."

"How are Mom and Dad doing now?" I asked anxiously.

"What else can you do, when you leave, your dad is behind how can your mother beat you, he doesn't say anything to your face like that, and he doesn't make your heart ache to death behind his back." Gu Xiaoxiao sighed and said helplessly. "Brother, don't worry, Han Yu seems to be quite good at coaxing his father, he is persuading him from above."

"I'm fine, I'll sit for a while, I did something wrong, I'll go up and apologize to my parents later, Xiaoxiao, don't worry about me and accompany them first." I'm serious about Gu Xiaoxin.

"I don't care who cares about you, brother, don't you just want to know why Dad is here, he won't say why you don't ask me." Gu Xiaoxiao sat down next to me and smiled.

Yun Duruo and I immediately came and looked at her.

"Xiaoxiao, do you know the reason why Uncle Xiao is here?" Yun Duruo asked eagerly.

Gu Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded obediently.
