Chapter 171: Who has something to do with him
The Nanshan Cemetery, near dusk, is quiet and cold. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]
It's not the Qingming season, so there aren't many people who come to sweep the tombs.
As far as the eye could see, only a slender figure slowly walked in from the entrance of the cemetery.
Wild grass grows haphazardly on both sides of the staggered paths, and the color of the sky is blue, and the silence is vast and boundless.
It's just that in this blue, there is still a hint of dull gray.
The woman, with her long hair gently pulled up, had a beautiful and demure face, wore a black dress, and had a small white flower pinned to her chest.
She carried a large bouquet of white cosmos in her arms.
As you can see, it has been carefully selected.
That's why it's so bright and vigorous, and every one of them is.
She walked slowly, path after path, and then came to a cemetery at the top of the hill.
She held her pace and stopped in front of the tombstone.
The picture inlaid on the tombstone is a good-looking man. This photo is still what he looked like when he was young, so heroic, so calm and calm, and so graceful.
The black photograph, without color, is like the oozing gray, and there is a deep emotion in it.
The man smiled faintly in the photo, as if smiling at the woman in front of him.
Even the emotions brewing in the eyes seem to be affectionate longing.
Lin Haiyin stopped quietly in front of the tombstone for a long time before reacting. She bent down and laid out the bouquet of cosmos. Take out a handkerchief, carefully and gently, and wipe his picture cleanly. Her gaze was always on the picture of the man on the tombstone. The handkerchief in his hand, along with the fingers, brushed his cheek.
Immediately, the tombstone was brushed.
and the black font on the tombstone, the man's name, touched one by one on her fingertips.
Those three words&mda;&mda;Qin Jiang inquiry.
"You see how time flies, it's another year." Lin Haiyin spoke softly, her voice was very gentle.
She seemed to have a lot to say, but in the end she was speechless, as if that was enough. In the end, I just looked at it like this, stopped like this, waited so quietly.
It was also the only time of the year that she could come back here, to be so close to him, that she couldn't even show up on the day of his death. He has been gone for so many years, and it has been more than ten years since today, in the blink of an eye. But he still seems to have always lived in her heart, and he has never changed.
Until the sun went down, the setting sun stained the clouds red, dragging her shadow for a long time.
The gatekeeper of the cemetery came and kindly reminded him, "This lady, the time is almost up, and we are going to close the garden gate." β
"Thanks, I'm leaving." Lin Haiyin replied with a smile.
The janitor nodded at her, and continued his rounds.
Lin Haiyin said to the tombstone, "I'm leaving." β
With just a few words, she turned peacefully and walked away in the grass.
β»β»β»
It was already ten in the evening, and it was very quiet in the Qin family's villa.
This kind of silence is different from what it used to be.
On this day, the servants in the villa did not dare to speak out, for fear that it would arouse Qin Yaozong's anger, but they were even more afraid that it would arouse his sadness.
Because today is the day before Qin Jiang's death day.
And Qin Jiangxun is Qin Yaozong's only son.
"Where's the master?" Fang Xian asked.
"The master is in the study."
In fact, after so many years, I don't need to ask to know that every day on this day, Qin Yaozong will be in the study.
Fang Xian walked upstairs, knocked on the door and entered the study, "Dad, can I come in?" β
As soon as Qin Yaozong saw that it was her who came in, he let out a sullen "En", but the movements of his hands were swift and almost reflexive, and he put the photo frame in the drawer and closed it heavily.
And his actions made Fang Xian see it, and said softly, "Dad, tomorrow is Jiang Xun's death day." β
Time is so fast, it's September again.
Qin Yaozong had a straight face, his expression was very arrogant and stubborn, "Didn't I tell you?" You don't have to tell me about his death day! I don't want to know either! β
On this day every year, he said this, Fang Xian was used to it, and she still asked, "Dad, I'm ready, let's go together tomorrow?" β
"I'm not going! If you want to worship, go yourself! I won't be sad for an unfilial son! He deserves it! You can't live if you do your own evil! The cold and hard words came out of Qin Yaozong's mouth, and his two eyebrows were furrowed, he seemed to be very angry, but it had been more than ten years, and when he mentioned it, he would still be so indignant.
Of course, Fang Xian knew his temperament, and he didn't persuade him more, but he was afraid that he would be even more angry.
"Then I'll go alone tomorrow." Fang Xian said so, anyway, in previous years, she went to worship alone, and Qin Yaozong didn't even allow the children of the Qin family to worship him.
Regarding Qin Jiangxun's death, Qin Yaozong was so angry that he couldn't even forgive. I'm afraid it is not only the taboo of the Qin family, but also the taboo in Qin Yaozong's heart, it is a knot, tied in his heart, and he can't untie it.
Even after an interval of more than ten years, it is still such stubborn persistence.
I just don't know when this insistence will be relieved.
Qin Yaozong was silent, and did not respond to her again, but said, "In a few days, it will be Guan Yi's death day, you remember to book a ticket." β
"Dad, I remember, don't worry." Fang Xian said lightly, "Wu'er is also there, and you haven't seen her for a long time." β
Xu is reason for mentioning Wu'er, Qin Yaozong's expression suddenly changed a lot, and he waved his hand, "You go out, I'm going to practice calligraphy." β
"Okay." Fang Xian replied and retreated.
Qin Yaozong did not have the habit of practicing calligraphy in the evening, and he always liked to relax in the afternoon. It was empty, only his study, which was exceptionally quiet. The windows in the room were closed, and even the sound of the wind seemed to be still, so lonely. It was only after Fang Xian had left for a moment that he opened the drawer and took out the picture frame again.
The frame was very old, it looked like it had been bought many years ago, and the photos inside had been yellowed, and it had been taken for many years.
It was a family photo.
At that time, everyone in the photo was still very young and young, full of children and grandchildren, taking pictures around Qin Yaozong. Qin Jiangxun and Fang Xian stood on his left, while Guan Yi and Qin Jiangqi stood on her right. Qin Duyun, Qin Yihuai, and Wu'er all gathered around him in turn. The child's innocent smiling face, the happy scene was fixed in Qin Yaozong's sight.
His always old-fashioned face inadvertently revealed a sadness, as if it came out of his heart, and he couldn't dissipate it.
Then, almost to himself, he muttered, "I will never forgive you in my life." β
Not for a lifetime.
&mda;
The night is dark, and the night of the port city is particularly blurry.
This is a well-known restaurant, and the people who usually come here are some dignitaries or some social dinners.
Lu Zhanyan had a party tonight, and brought a few subordinates and the person in charge of the other party to socialize.
Halfway through the staggering, Lu Zhanyan's mobile phone rang, she could only get up apologetically, and got up to answer the phone after finding a vacancy. The phone is still ringing, and you don't need to look to know that it's Qin Shijin. Except for him, no one would call her so domineeringly. As if she didn't answer, he would go on and on until the battery ran out.
Lu Zhanyan found a quiet corridor, and then picked up, "Hey." β
His deep male voice came from the other end, and he asked unhurriedly, "Where are you?" β
"I have a party tonight, didn't I tell you in the afternoon?" Lu Zhanyan replied, he just had to count his memory, a guy with such a high IQ must not be a stupid person, it was clearly his intention.
Qin Shijin said, "I'm at your doorstep." β
"Don't you have a party too?" Lu Zhanyan was surprised, obviously he also said that there would be dinner in the evening.
Qin Shijin was silent, "It's over early." β
Lu Zhanyan didn't think much about it, "Oh." β
"When will you come back, am I going to stand at your door?" His tone was not too good, and he was a little impatient.
"I ended it early, do you blame me?" Really, what a murderer!
"If you give me a key, won't I be able to get in?"
The key is here, and his ultimate goal seems to be this, a backup key.
Could he have deliberately ended it early, just to ask her for the key? Lu Zhanyan was a little happy, but it was not good to continue arguing with him at this time, because the guests were still waiting, "I said, why are you so stupid?" β
It's a shame that he was called a genius by his teacher, and he couldn't think of such a simple idea!
Qin Shijin shouted her name over there, quite gritting his teeth, "Lu Zhanyan!" β
"Where you put the backup key you gave me, then mine will be there." Lu Zhanyan said with a smile, and said, "If you can't find it again, then you are really stupid." β
Immediately, she hung up the phone.
The two no longer work in the same company, and there is always some time difference. Lu Zhanyan was a little busy again, and he kept socializing. Several times, Qin Shijin came to look for her, but she was turned away. He began to protest, asking for a backup key. Where Lu Zhanyan was willing to punish him every day, he matched him.
It's a pity that a certain young master is invincible in the mall, but when it comes to his own private affairs, he doesn't pay attention at all.
In fact, she had already placed the key under the carpet.
She thought he would find out, because she had told him to let him find it himself, and give it to him if he found it.
But who knows, after looking for a week, I didn't find it.
And her apartment was almost swept by him.
She really lost to him.
Lu Zhanyan was about to turn back to the private room, but who knows, but he met another person, "Xiao Mobai?" β
Xiao Mobai took off his suit, only a shirt, and his body was long, and he looked so outstanding in this corridor. Lu Zhanyan thought at the moment that he also had a meal here. However, this seems to be too coincidental, I met once before, how did I meet again today, "You also have a party?" β
Xiao Mobai smiled and said in a deep voice, "Such a coincidence." β
"Manager Xiao went to France before and picked up another big CASE, I haven't had time to congratulate you yet."
"Where, Manager Lu is polite." Xiao Mobai smiled, "I brought you a souvenir in France, I wonder if the brocade gave it to you?" β
Souvenirs that Xiao Mobai brought from France?
Lu Zhanyan didn't know anything, "Souvenirs? β
Looking at her like this, she also knew that it must be gone, Xiao Mobai joked, "Maybe he gave it to another woman, you remember to interrogate him when you go back today." β
Lu Zhanyan would not be provoked by him, but responded, "Definitely, I will interrogate him when I go back." β
"Oh, you live together." Xiao Mobai said coldly.
ββ¦β¦β
Lu Zhanyan was speechless, he was fishing for her, "Manager Xiao, I'll go over first, and I'll ask you out for a drink when I'm empty." β
"Manager Lu invited me to drink, then I must come out." Xiao Mobai said, his eyes suddenly condensed, "But I'm afraid it won't work in the past two days." β
Lu Zhanyan realized that he had something to say, "Why? β
"Auntie is coming from England, I think you should go with Jin to meet Auntie." Xiao Mobai seemed to be careless, but he actually said this deliberately, "He needs someone to speak, I think you are very suitable." β
Aunt......
Could it be Aunt Qin?
Lu Zhanyan was stunned, but Xiao Mobai waved his hand at her, "Don't bother you, remember to invite me to drink when you're free." β
β»β»β»
On the way back, Lu Zhanyan was thinking about what Xiao Mobai said.
But it seems that something is wrong.
Aunt Qin came over from the UK, why didn't Qin Shijin tell her?
However, in her memory, Qin Shijin has never been too affectionate to Aunt Qin. At that time, he was already independent, but he was just a teenager, but he had never seen him arrogant, nor did he have much to talk to Aunt Qin. Aunt Qin played the piano beautifully, and Lu Qingsong recruited her to be a tutor at home, and also let her learn the piano, hoping that she could become a lady.
It's impossible for a lady, she doesn't have that talent at all.
Qin Shijin must have inherited Aunt Qin's musical cells, so he is so good.
However, he didn't have much interest in the piano, and he didn't even touch it.
Lu Zhanyan didn't understand why.
It's just that at that time, I had already noticed that the relationship between Qin Shijin and Aunt Qin was not very good. She also once asked her dad why they were like this.
Lu Qingsong said that it was because Qin Shijin was a boy, and boys were not good at expressing themselves. Then he counted her down, saying that she was the best at pestering people and coquettish, always not growing up, and wanted to learn from Qin Shijin.
Aunt Qin, who took Qin Shijin alone back then, did not have Qin Shijin's father by her side.
Today, Qin Shijin is the eldest and youngest of the Qin family, and a well-known wealthy nobleman.
What kind of twists and turns are there behind him?
Aunt Qin......
Lu Zhanyan's eyebrows frowned slightly, recalling a quiet and gentle kind face, in her memory, she only felt that it had the same warm taste as her mother.
That's how mom tastes.
Warm, sweet and soft.
Qin Shijin, what happened after you left that year?
&mda;
Lu Zhanyan returned to the apartment and saw Qin Shijin watching the news on the sofa in the living room. Such a scene is always familiar. Her thoughts were a little disorganized along the way, and she calmed down before entering the door. He took off his coat and came quietly to his side. Qin Shijin didn't move, but he smelled the smell of wine on her body, "Drinking?" β
"I'm drunk, but I'm not drunk." Lu Zhanyan said honestly.
It is inevitable to drink alcohol for entertainment, otherwise it will be too faceless for customers.
Qin Shijin glanced at her, and saw that she was in good spirits, her consciousness was not slackened, and she was very clear, just the words of reproach, and couldn't help but say it anyway, "What do you look like as a woman, drinking with a group of men outside." When all the projects on your side are over, don't go any further. β
Again, this topic has been said more than a thousand times.
"Work is always social, no matter where you go."
"You can be an assistant, and an ordinary clerk will do." Qin Shijin was inexplicably a little annoyed, maybe he shouldn't have taught her like this at that time, so that she could become so capable now.
Lu Zhanyan raised the corners of his mouth, "According to my current work experience, I should be a team leader wherever I go, right?" β
"Okay, I'm so thirsty, you can get me a drink." Lu Zhanyan pushed him, although Qin Shijin was not happy, he still got up, "I want to drink Coke." β
Qin Shijin took a can of Coke and sat back down beside her. Pull the can open and hand it to her.
Lu Zhanyan hurriedly took it and drank it, Qin Shijin frowned and said, "What's so delicious about this drink." β
"If you don't like it, I don't let you like it." Lu Zhanyan put the Coke on the coffee table, and after a tired day, she lay flat on the sofa and used his legs as pillows.
The news on the TV was over, and she immediately picked up the remote control and immediately tuned to the TV drama channel.
He didn't refuse, just silently accompanied her to watch.
But how do you bring that topic up?
Lu Zhanyan thought about it, thought about it, and had no choice but to betray Xiao Mobai, determined to be sure, she immediately asked, "Tonight, I met Xiao Mobai." β
Qin Shijin was not surprised, it is estimated that Xiao Mobai either has entertainment or activities.
"He said he had gone to France on a business trip and brought me souvenirs." Lu Zhanyan asked, "What about my souvenirs?" β
Hearing her mention the souvenir, Qin Shijin showed disdain, "You don't have to accept his souvenir." β
"Why?"
"Because it's not necessary."
"What the hell is it?" The more he refused to speak, the more curious she became.
Qin Shijin remembered that after Xiao Mobai returned, he threw him a small box with beautiful packaging. And it turned out to be chocolate inside, which was definitely done by him on purpose, and his face turned blue at the moment, and he made fun of it. When Xiao Mobai left, of course, he threw it away. If he wants to give chocolate to Lu Zhanyan, this is absolutely impossible.
"I don't know."
"Isn't it in your hands?"
"I didn't look at it." He simply said that, and even if he knew, he wouldn't tell her anyway.
Lu Zhanyan snorted, "Did you give it to someone else?" β
Then Qin Shijin snorted even more coldly, "You are already so difficult to do alone, can I still provoke others?" β
She was really depressed, as if she was so unreasonable, Lu Zhanyan pursed her lips, grabbed the remote control in her hand, and held it tightly in a tangled way, she took a deep breath and asked, "I heard that my aunt came from the UK?" β
The topic finally came to this, and suddenly his heart was suffocated, and Lu Zhanyan waited for his reaction.
But who knows, it's quiet.
Lu Zhanyan raised his eyes to look at him, his handsome face was very indifferent, almost expressionless, just staring at the TV screen, such a serious look, but it would make her have an illusion, thinking how obsessed he was with this plot. But it is clear that he doesn't like to watch this kind of unreasonable romance idol drama the most, and he will only think that she is naΓ―ve and deceitful.
After another while, there was still no response, Lu Zhanyan shouted, "Qin Shijin! β
Only then did he speak, and he said indifferently, "He's so troublesome. β
Naturally, it refers to Xiao Mobai, and Lu Zhanyan asked again, "Where does that aunt live now?" β
The Qin family, or in his apartment?
Qin Shijin's eyes were cold, "I don't know." β
That's the answer again!
"How could you not know?" Lu Zhanyan was stunned, even if the relationship was not good, it was always his mother.
"She wants to come back, it has nothing to do with me, why should I know." Qin Shijin's words were very ruthless, as if she was not important to him at all.
"Qin Shijin, she is your mother!" Lu Zhanyan immediately got up and looked at him dissatisfied.
"So what." Qin Shijin was still emotionless.
So what......
He was so indifferent that she didn't even know what to say. No matter how bad the relationship is, it won't come to this point.
Lu Zhanyan tried to understand, "Then you call her, and we can have a meal together......"
Before she could finish, he interrupted her, "There's no need for this! β
He raised his voice suddenly, his expression was so cold that she was stunned, Lu Zhanyan sat stiffly on the sofa, but Qin Shijin suddenly got up and left with a word, "It's not early, you go to sleep, I'm leaving." β
Lu Zhanyan didn't have time to react, he watched him walk away, and disappeared in an instant.
She was the only one left in the apartment.
There is no doubt that he is running away, he does not want to mention it, but because of what?
Lu Zhanyan was suddenly very worried, and he was also a little distressed.
The Qin family has nothing to do with him, and Aunt Qin has nothing to do with him, so who is related to him?
How did he get over the years?
β»β»β»
The night was already deep, the night sky was velvety blue, and in the depths of neon, there was a brilliant light. The whole city seems to be immersed in those stars.
Qin Shijin drove the car and galloped all the way around the city.
left Lu Zhanyan's apartment, but he didn't go back immediately.
It's almost aimless, and I don't know where to go, just blindly driving. The winds that swept through me were whistling in my ears.
It's just that the car was driving like this, and it unknowingly stopped on the opposite side of a hotel.
The signboard of the hotel is lit up, and the high-rise buildings and rooms are lit up.
Qin Shijin glanced at it, a little stunned, and then frowned, as if he was annoyed with himself. How he ended up here, it's just inexplicable.
He stepped on the gas pedal and drove away quickly.
But on my phone, the text message reads&mda;&mda, I'm going back to the UK tomorrow.
