I was told that he was very hopeful, and if he was not eighteen but thirty-eight this year, then I would really agree with it 100%. couldn't help but smile and said: "I originally wanted to send you back to the UK to continue your studies without being busy, but now it seems that you won't think about it in a few years." I took the Cambridge exam in vain. ”

He also laughed: "I didn't want to go back in the first place." ”

"Afraid that my girlfriend will run away?"

I swore I was just joking, but he nodded, looked at me rather cautiously, and said, "You don't think I'm naïve, do you?" ”

"You are my son-in-law in my eyes." I said, "It's just right to be naïve." ”

He licked his lips, rubbed his hands, and bowed his head a little helplessly.

I could feel that after that conversation, he was much closer to me. Originally, he was shrewd and down-to-earth, with a maturity that did not match his grade, and he was more like my genus than my son-in-law. But now he exudes a little bit of childishness that I like, and it makes him more like a child, more flesh and blood.

I asked Lin Zhunyi to accompany me to dinner in the name of chatting about things, because there has been no news from the house, and now the family is in chaos, and the dead and detained are all people he has called his uncle since childhood. Although he suggested that I kill him, he didn't really do it after all, and I'm afraid he won't be able to stand it.

The restaurant was booked a few days ago, and it was lucky that someone canceled the reservation, otherwise we wouldn't have booked it at all according to the usual style of this restaurant.

And the good luck didn't stop there, the place we booked this time completely avoided all the exits, the concealment was quite good, and the guests at the other tables couldn't see us at all.

The waiter quickly entertained us, and when we were waiting for the food to be served, we were chatting when we suddenly saw a few people walking behind Lin Zhunyi.

It's a grape. I haven't seen her for a few years, but the years have not left any trace on her face, and it is still the same as I have seen before. It's not unusual, this restaurant has delicious food and a comfortable environment, which is the first choice for me and for her.

It's just that the man she was holding in her hand looked so familiar, but I couldn't remember anything.

So I lowered my voice and said to Lin Zhunyi: "Turn your head and see if you recognize the man Miss Pu is holding." ”

Lin Zhunyi turned his head, glanced at it, turned his head, and said, "Isn't that your third brother?" ”

My fifth brother?

No wonder I'm not impressed. I have only met the so-called third brother only a few times, mostly when I was a child.

Lin Zhunyi lowered his voice and asked, "Do you want to check?" ”

"Check."

If Pu Lan's smuggling business wants to sell goods, it has to go through Fanyin, and Pu Zhu's female branch girl business can't completely bypass Fanyin, so naturally it has to be shared with him. For them, this is mandatory, there is no reason to talk about it, and the price is also set by complicated sounds. Therefore, the cooperation between Fanyin and Pu Lan is not based on fairness and justice, but on strength and weakness. In the past, when the prosperous family was strong, they had to give money obediently, but now that the prosperous family is weak and the small family has turned its face, they will definitely pay attention.

Therefore, the Pu family, especially Pu Zhu, can never be a person from our faction, so the fact that she is carrying my third brother's arm is worth playing, and I need to pay attention to it.

After that, I carefully observed the two of them, the two of them were dressed very informally, it should be just a private event, and their manners were intimate, especially when my third brother looked at her, as if he had been fascinated by her. There is no doubt that Pu Zhu is a very attractive woman who also knows how to use her charm, and this ability makes me admire, after all, with what I know about her now, she is a woman who has the right to speak in her own hands. Unlike me, as long as I lose my voice, I can't even protect my own children.

After that, they also left first, and we, Lin Zhunyi, also left. On the way back, Lin Zhunyi said: "It's inconvenient to tell you just now that your third brother has just been appointed as the chief financial officer of your father's enterprise head office this year, and he is a hot candidate for heir. ”

I didn't speak, thinking to myself that the CFO was a treasury keeper and that this was a good position.

"The last one in this position was Su Yi." He said: "After his death, this position was handed over to your third brother, but it has never been officially appointed. ”

"That's at least two years."

"Yes." "Now it's up to him to sit in this position for a few years," he said. ”

Although this is a good position, it is not a good thing to sit in this position for too long, after all, even though the eldest brother has been president for more than ten years, so that everyone thought that he would eventually get the inheritance, he was removed.

I said, "To tell you the truth, I know almost nothing about my father's house. ”

"I only know a little bit of the skin." He said: "It's all news in the newspapers. ”

I asked, "What else has come to the press?" ”

"And ......," he paused and said, "Also, there are many people in the Su family who have been the financial director, but only one person has been successfully promoted. ”

"What about the others?"

"All dead."

Before I got home, I told Lin Zhunyi about Pu Lan, and he didn't show too much surprise, but said, "I hope you can think about Mrs. Han." ”

"I know what you mean."

Mr. Fei is still a good friend of Old Man Fan, and Old Man Fan is really not a person who can be so "tolerant", so it can be concluded that Mrs. Han and Mr. Fei were very innocent back then. And Zhun Yi told me this, not to talk to me, but to tell me that this is also what I will face. Rumors are fiercer than tigers, not to mention that some people are wantonly inciting, I have to be mentally prepared in advance.

When I got home, the house was already cleaned up, and nothing changed except that there were fewer people. Lin Zhunyi didn't seem to notice this, his eyes and nose looked at his heart, and his attitude was very calm.

Deputy housekeeper Zhao arranged to receive us, saying that Nian Nian and Pu Lan were painting together upstairs, and the dog was tested, and there was no problem in its blood, ruling out the possibility of being drugged, but it was determined that it was rabies through behavioral observation. The dog's entire family is free of rabies, and it has been in our family since birth and has never been bitten by any dog, so artificial medicine is the most likely. The incubation period of rabies ranges from 10 days to 6 months, and it is difficult to determine the duration of the drug. It initiates illness and does not recognize the six relatives, and it is more difficult to judge the purpose of the behavior.

But the suspect was easily sure: almost all the dogs ate the same kind of food, received the same vaccine, and the only foreign food the guy had ever eaten came from Fanyin and Niannian. Nian nian can be excluded, traditional sounds...... This result sent a chill through my heart.

After that, I went to look for Niannian, and they were still in Niannian's game room, and the walls were covered with graffiti. Nian Nian was lying with Pu Lan in a large pile of toys, she fell asleep, and Pu Lan gently pushed the cradle of Lian Yin nearby with one hand, and read a story with a book in the other, and only let me go when she heard me knock on the door.

I went over to say hello, and saw that Lian Yin was blinking her eyes and opening her little hands to me. I was about to go over and wake up Niannian when Pu Lan waved her hand again and said, "She just fell asleep." ”

"I told her to go back to her room and go to sleep."

"She didn't sleep at noon." "I always said I wanted to see her dog because you were going to kill it," he said. ”

"Now it is determined that it is rabies through behavioral judgment, and if you want to test it further, you have to kill it first and then test the brain." I also feel very sad, probably because: "Although this dog is stupid, after all, it has been raised for so long, and when Niannian knows, he will definitely die of sadness." ”

He also sighed and said, "Once you are emotionally engaged, sadness is inevitable. She'll always get it right. ”

Oh, yes.

I understood that his words were a pun, and I couldn't help but sigh: "There is news today, and there is no way to solve it with a knife." ”

He looked at me and didn't speak.

"Then I don't know if I want to go to my dad's side." I said, "Don't dare to go this far." ”

"I'll make sure you're okay." After he finished speaking, he seemed to feel too full, and added, "Unless I die first." ”

I couldn't help but laugh.

But he misunderstood what I meant: "It is true that my strength has been inferior to your husband for thousands of years, but now I can boast that I am not weaker than him." I say until, because there is no 100% possibility in this world. ”

"I know, I'm laughing because we're not friends, and I'm still under house arrest." I said, "But you said such a thing at such a time, and I believed it." ”

He also laughed when he heard this, and said, "I've known each other for many years, and although I'm not friends, I've been close to them after all." I know you as well as you know, even if I am at odds with your husband, I am a different matter with you. ”

I nodded and said, "Then why didn't you tell me about your sister and my third brother?" ”

Unsurprised, he replied fluently, "I thought you knew." ”

"I don't know at all."

He laughed again, looking at the expression, as if he was laughing at my innocence. I straightened my face, and he immediately straightened up and said, "The reason why your third brother is with my second sister is actually because my second sister has a little business over there, which can help him climb to today's position." And my second sister also needs him to keep their cooperation. I didn't talk to you because it has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with you. There have been so many people in the position of financial director that he is not far from death. ”

I couldn't help laughing, lowered my voice, and said, "Mr. Pu, this is your attitude towards people who have been 'close after all'?" ”

He was slightly stunned, looked me in the eye, and did not speak.

He knows what I mean.

The previous words were so beautiful, and he pretended to be stupid when he asked him a few words.

In the silent confrontation, he suddenly laughed: "Defeated you." My second sister has been cooperating with your eldest brother for many years. Your eldest brother needs to transfer the property, and she needs to profit from it. Now your third brother is also thinking about this, he personally told my second sister that he wants to divorce and marry her. ”

That's the truth.

That's why it's always been mixed in our house.

"That's why I said it has nothing to do with you and me." He said: "Your eldest brother's money was transferred, but no one was seen alive or dead, I am afraid that it was quietly done by other people in your family." Your third brother's talent is not as good as your eldest brother's, and his current position is very delicate, it is very important, it is the only way to rise to the administrative level, and there are many bonus groups, so people in this position always do not live long. But it doesn't really matter, because it has no real benefit and it's dangerous. ”

I didn't speak.

He thought I didn't understand, so he made it more easy to understand: "It's like a survival game, when the level is low, there are more people who are eligible for food, so everyone can unite into a group and do things together, but the higher the level, the fewer places you can get food, and the more fierce the competition." By the time your third brother is now, he has become the target of public criticism. Therefore, this matter has nothing to do with you, because the firepower is attracted over there, and everyone is busy messing with your third brother, and they don't have time to deal with you. ”

I asked, "Is there any evidence for what you say?"

"Yes." He said, "Come here, and I'll whisper to you." ”

I leaned in, only to notice a soft, moist touch on my face. I couldn't help frowning, but I heard his gentle whisper: "I talked to your father about this." ”

Most of my anger was immediately dispelled, and I couldn't help but blurt out, "How could my dad tell you this?" ”

"He's afraid that your husband won't be useful." He looked at me, his gaze was meaningless: "Your third brother was personally appointed by him, this is a target, his appointment will attract most of the firepower away, make it easier for you." ”

"But you didn't tell me."

"If you don't know, you won't be mistaken." He said, "Otherwise, your father would have told you about it a long time ago." ”

I didn't speak.

He was also silent and said, "Actually, I don't quite understand what kind of feelings your father has for you. But if it really hurts, how can you design your children to kill each other like this? From this point of view, the only child he deliberately protected was you. ”

He said so, he said so, and I actually ...... Hey, I've felt this way in the past few years, but it seems that what was missing is missing, and my adoptive father is more like an elder I trust, rather than a loved one like "Dad" who will inevitably love me.

I said, "Thank you for telling me this." ”

He's right, it really has nothing to do with me.

He laughed again, this time more like he was joking: "After all, I was close." ”

This time I had to correct: "I hope you don't play this joke on me." ”

"Jokes?" He raised his eyebrows: "When you wanted me to explain, you were close, and now you cross the river and tear down the bridge." ”

I didn't speak.

He tilted his head slightly and asked, "Angry?" ”

"Of course." I couldn't talk about him, and I felt that I was taken advantage of by him, but I couldn't have a direct attack, so I told him not to be happy: "But Ah Piao has only been gone for a long time, and you make jokes about women like this, don't you feel very disrespectful to her?" ”

He pulled the corners of his mouth far-fetchedly, as if he still wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh after all, and only said: "Anyway, she is dead, and respect or not can bring her back to life." I'm kidding you, it's you, not her, who disrespects. ”

I said, "You feel so cold-blooded when you say that." ”

He laughed.

I hurriedly changed my words: "I'm sorry, I just think your attitude is very bad." ”

He still laughed and said: "Don't fake my nostalgia for her in front of another person of the opposite sex after her death to gain the favor of the other party, which is the greatest respect for her." ”
