99. Old scars
Remember [58] in one second, and provide you with wonderful reading.
Lu Zhongze was still his usual cold appearance, his eyes were lowered and no one was looking. Xu Xinyan looked at it provocatively, and her chin was raised higher than usual.
An Xi suddenly changed his mind, obediently curled up beside Nan Jiachen, and smiled at the two people opposite: "I'm sorry, because a little personal matter is going to slow down everyone's process, we will rush back as soon as possible." ”
Lu Zhongze's footsteps stopped, turned his head and glanced at Nan Jiachen, and said to An Xi: "What private affairs can their family have, which thing is not known in the newspaper." Aren't you afraid of flashing lights, aren't you afraid now? Or do you fantasize that you can soar to the sky and marry into a wealthy family, and you won't be afraid? ”
The cold words made An Xi unhappy, and he was about to choke on the spot, but he retracted the words that almost rushed out of his mouth, and tried his best to maintain the formulaic smile on his face: "Yes, Mr. Lu, with the right person to accompany you, there is nothing to be afraid of in any situation." ”
She saw Lu Zhongze walking away quickly with a black face, Xu Xinyan catching up, her high heels on the marble floor, and a series of kicking and tapping sounds.
Nan Jiachen whistled briskly, one hand still on her shoulder, poked his head in front of her, and kept a polite distance from her: "I haven't seen him look so dark for many years, you are very capable." This pose, from behind, looks like the two are kissing.
An Xi straightened up and didn't move: "Use me as a gunman, you are not a good product." ”
In the direction behind them, Lu Zhongze took great steps, and only stopped when he reached the corner of the stairs. Xu Xinyan hurriedly chased after him and put her arm around him: "Vincent, wait for me, aren't we going to see Sister Nancy first?" She looked sideways at Lu Zhongze's face: "Are you angry?" ”
Lu Zhongze pulled his arm out of her hand expressionlessly, and the corners of his mouth were full of mockery: "You want me to do my best to help take down Oran, I did it, you can't ask me to do it happily, right?" ”
Xu Xinyan was stunned by what he said, and the expression with a little intimacy and flattery just now immediately dispersed: "Yes, I don't care what you think in your heart, in short, if you want to know what Jason said in his will, just do what I say until I am satisfied." ”
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xu Xinyan adjusted her tone slightly, and said as gently as possible: "Vincent, you should know what I think of you, you judge with reason, I am your ideal partner." If we get married, Dad can give you a lot of support, and if you want to develop your career in the United States or China, it's OK, it's going to be a perfect marriage, Sister Nancy thinks so. ”
Lu Zhongze glanced at her coldly: "In your eyes, marriage is a contract transaction for each to take what he needs, but this is not for me." You'd better use Jason's will to blackmail me for the rest of my life until the day I die. ”
An Xi and Nan Jiachen booked a ticket to Singapore on the same day, and Nan Jiachen's parents live there.
From the moment he stepped out of the plane, Anxi could feel that someone was taking pictures of them all the time. At the door of the cabin, Nan Jiachen put a hat on her head, and reminded her while making seemingly intimate movements: "If you don't want to have photos that you can't bear to see in the future, don't look around, you can smile, don't talk, and walk over quickly." ”
These are the words that An Xi used to tell others in the past, and most of the ugly photos with strange expressions were taken unconsciously when he was talking, and now it is finally the turn of others to tell him.
Singapore is obviously Nan Jiachen's home stadium, and the local media are extremely enthusiastic about him, but Nan Jiachen just smiled and waved politely and skillfully, and then pulled Anxi away from the VIP passage and got into the car that Nan Jiachen came to pick up people.
The South family has an old house near Holland Road and another villa on Sentosa Island. The car carried Anxi directly to Sentosa, and the local media had already seen the clues from the driving route, and the Nan family still regarded this girl as Nan Jiachen's whim, and did not let her step into the gate of the old mansion at all.
Nan's father hugged Nan Jiachen in the open courtyard of the villa, looking close and warm, which made people feel that father and son had become brothers for many years. An Xi stepped forward to say hello at the right time and gave gifts, and received a few words of praise from Nan's father, but he didn't see Nan's mother appear from beginning to end.
When the gate of the villa blocked all the onlookers' eyes and the flashing lights, Nan's father and Nan Jiachen were as if they had taken off their masks, and they couldn't see the slightest smile on their faces.
Nan's father didn't say a word, and went straight upstairs, Nan Jiachen didn't say anything, and took An Xi directly to his room and asked the Filipino maid to prepare food. The father and son were surprisingly indifferent.
Without waiting for An Xi to ask, Nan Jiachen had already directly put a stack of newspapers in front of her. Anxi was surprised to find that the newspaper used words like "the prodigal son returns home" to describe Nan Jiachen's trip.
The report inevitably mentions the past, and Anxi only learned at this time that Nan Jiachen had always been a very rebellious child in this family. He is the youngest son of Nan's father and Nan's mother, because of the discord with his parents, he went to Hong Kong to study alone, and later made his own private equity fund, and did not consider coming back to accept the family's business, so that Nan's father is now old and still has to rely on outsiders to manage many affairs of the company.
The media also naturally mentioned Nan Jiaxuan, who was Nan Jiachen's brother, Nan's father and Nan's mother's eldest son. In the reporter's pen, this man named Jason, with handsome appearance and outstanding academic qualifications, was born with a golden soup spoon, but he was never arrogant. He used to be the proudest future heir of Nan's father, and he was polite to people, but unfortunately, he had passed away, and after several years of delaying his life in the intensive care unit, he passed away.
If it weren't for the Nan family's strong financial resources, these few years would be enough to drag down the family. But for Nan Jiaxuan, all the comments are just sorry for him, such a perfect man, before he has time to dominate the shopping mall, he has been walking on the hospital bed for several years, which is not much different from countless dying lives.
After reading the report, Anxi asked a little strangely: "Why haven't you seen your mother, doesn't she live here?" ”
This question seemed to poke at the hidden sore spot in Nan Jiachen's heart, and after a long time, he said in a dumb voice: "My mother has only been here once, and we just bought this house that year, and my mother just wanted to measure the size of the garden, and then choose the flower seeds herself." She was stopped at the door by a reporter who asked her what she thought of it...... Mr. Nan and the young lady's business......"
He paused for a moment before he continued, "My mother hasn't been able to set foot in this house for a single step, and when the reporters outside have dispersed, I'll take you to meet her." ”
After dark, Nan Jiachen took Anxi out, which is close to the equator, and the day and night are always divided equally throughout the year, and the time of darkness is actually relatively late. Nan Jiachen didn't call the driver, and went directly to the garage by himself and drove out.
When she saw Nan's mother, Anxi understood why Nan Jiachen said that she couldn't step into that house even a single step. This is a sanatorium with excellent conditions, and Nan's mother is a patient in the sanatorium, and she has suffered a stroke and is paralyzed. Although the nurse took care of her very carefully, her movement was still very inconvenient, and she could only lie in bed most of the time, and she had a chance to go out once a day in the morning and afternoon, and someone needed to lift her in a wheelchair.
"A few years ago, my mother was still able to speak," Nan Jiachen explained to Anxi, "she didn't want to go home again, and she insisted on coming here." ”
He took the bowl containing dinner from the nurse's hand and fed it to Nan's mother in one bite, An Xi picked up a tissue from the side of the bed and sat down to help her wipe the rice that fell out of the corner of her mouth.
Probably because he was really old, the stroke did not recur, but the person's condition was not very good, Nan's mother saw Nan Jiachen, and she was not excited at all, she only swallowed the meal obediently, and seemed to treat him as a new nurse.
"When my mother was young, she was a well-read beauty," Nan Jiachen explained to An Xi, "The facial features are very beautiful, you can see me." ”
Hearing such arrogant words, An Xi couldn't say anything joking. Nan Jiachen said: "My grandfather is a very famous scholar, and my mother married into the Nan family, and she has been living smoothly for many years. My dad may not be a peerless good man, but he cherishes his reputation, which is what he relies on to interact with people in the mall, and he doesn't dare to mess around. The only problem they had was me, because I had always been naughty, fighting with my brother and yelling at my dad since I was a kid. ”
"Actually, at that time, I already knew that my father had another woman outside, and I hadn't figured out how to tell my mother. Those reporters directly tore open the scar and put it in front of their mother, who was too well protected and couldn't even say a word loudly, so she was so angry with herself. ”
The old man on the sickbed couldn't see what kind of demeanor he had at all, and when he ate a bowl of rice, Nan's mother made a "ahh
Nan Jiachen rang the call bell at the bedside, called the nurse in, got up and asked Anxi to go back with him. The parking place was at the door, and Nan Jiachen proposed to walk around and come back to drive.
There is a large garden in the sanatorium, the passage is full of trees and flowers on both sides, and after walking silently for half a circle, Nan Jiachen asked: "You have been doing public relations for so many years, you tell me that it is so proud to tear apart other people's sore spots to attract attention?" ”
An Xi stopped, did not answer his question, and asked him: "Did the reporter refer to Lu Zhongqiu when he said that year, the woman outside your father?" ”
Nan Jiachen shrugged: "You haven't already guessed everything, why bother asking." ”
An Xi didn't give up, and continued to ask: "If Lu Zhongqiu made a mistake, why do you have to get along with Lu Zhongze?" ”
