On Fang Yuhuan's birthday, Jiang Chuanyao was called back to Jiang's house by Jiang Heming.

He had just returned to Jiang's house at night, and at seven o'clock in the night, the first floor of Jiang's house was brightly lit.

The snow in Nanshan Garden is a little cleaner than other places, especially when stepping on the steps of the Jiang family, every floor tile is so clean that there is no trace of footprints.

However, this home is full of decay from the inside out.

Especially in the cold winter, the sycamore blocks the sunlight, and only the sparse light passes through the glass-colored glass windows, and the dust in the air floats slowly through the faint light, quiet and depressed.

The temperament of a home is basically determined by the hostess, because the male owner of the house has feelings for the family only in this home to bring him benefits.

Call him back to Jiang's house today, Jiang Heming is naturally at home, sitting opposite Zhong Ling and eating a bowl of soup.

After Yunlai's trip, Zhong Ling stayed in the sanatorium for a long time, and only came out of it last month. She turned her head to look at him, her eyes less resentful and more dazed.

It's not really that she's changed, it's that the drugs have taken control of her nerves and dulled her feelings.

Compared with Jiang Heming, Zhong Ling was the first to call his name: "Yaoyao ......"

Jiang Chuanyao paused, put one hand in his trouser pocket and turned around, looking at Zhong Ling strangely, Zhong Ling also looked at her strangely and blankly.

There was no embarrassment on her face, but her surprise, as if she was puzzled as to why she called him that.

After a long time, she lowered her voice and said, "Have you eaten dinner?" Why don't you eat some more like your dad? ”

Jiang Chuanyao: "......"

Hell, it's been a long time since I've remembered a scene like this. Jiang Chuanyao remembered things very early, and he can basically remember the events after the age of two until now. Before the age of seven, everything was normal in this family, and Zhong Ling treated him like a normal mother, even if there was not much love in his eyes, he did his mother's duty.

When he was seven years old, Zhong Ling had a serious illness, after which he was sent to a full-time care school.

After that, Zhong Ling fell ill from time to time, indifferent when he was normal, crazy when he was abnormal, but he was rarely as dull and weird as he is now.

Jiang Chuanyao walked to the dining table, and there was a new maid in the house, the same silent image.

After the age of seven, Jiang Chuanyao had no concept of the maid and aunt in the family, only Aunt Li and Uncle Li in Ronghu Jiuli did have feelings for him, but they also left the Jiang family when he went to boarding school.

In the Jiang family, the question of whether to do things is not very important, but it is necessary to be able to be a person.

Jiang Heming's request for "being a man" is not to be delicate, but to always close his mouth and ears appropriately.

Zhong Ling raised his gaze to look at him, the original Ling Ran in his eyes was gone, and there was an inexplicable trace of longing.

Jiang Chuanyao sat down under Zhong Ling's longing gaze.

A bowl of lotus seed and lily soup was already placed in front of him.

There were unevacuated meals and soups on the table, and chopsticks were almost never touched.

Jiang Chuanyao didn't look at Jiang Heming, but looked at Zhong Ling, Zhong Ling smiled at him and said, "Yaoyao, why are you so disobedient, you don't like to arrange a fiancée at home, and you don't do the job arranged by the family, how can you be so disobedient?" ”

Jiang Chuanyao's eyes flashed slightly, revealing scrutiny. The temperament is quiet and forceful.

Zhong Ling finally sank down, and another sentence came out: "You kid, you were naughty when you were a child." ”

What kind of foolish thing is Zhong Ling talking about?

She used to be just emotionally ill, but now she's mentally ill? He was not a naughty kid at all as a child.

When he was a child, he was always lonely and silent in the Jiang family, and his favorite thing to do every day was to paint...... When he was a child, he was very sensitive to color, and he was very good at drawing, sketching people with ease. At that time, some people visited Zhong Ling and praised him for inheriting Zhong Ling's talent, and he could become a highly talented painter in the future.

People have changed a lot, and when he was a child, he thought he had been painting, but he hadn't held a paintbrush for years. Drawing is too much of a way to immerse and relax your mind. For him, both immersion and relaxation are dangerous things.

"You can eat later, come to the study and find me." Jiang Heming put down his chopsticks and commanded.

Jiang Chuanyao didn't have the appetite to eat this bowl of lotus seed and lily soup, so he put down the spoon in his hand.

On the other side, Zhong Ling said in a panic: "Why don't you eat a bite." ”

Jiang Chuanyao didn't understand what Zhong Ling was playing, and the best way to survive in this family was to get rid of it.

But Zhong Ling's complexion looked too fragile, she was already thin, and after a serious illness, the whole person was even more skinny, the green tendons on the back of her hands were exposed, and the bones of her hands were prominent.

Jiang Chuanyao put away the inquiry in his eyes and asked, "How are you doing lately?" ”

Zhong Ling spoke slowly: "It's good...... It's just a little bit unremembered, muddy. ”

Jiang Chuanyao stood next to Zhong Ling, raised his hand slightly, landed on the back of the chair where Zhong Ling was sitting, and casually persuaded him: "Then you take care of your body, and I don't have to worry about my affairs." ”

Zhong Ling opened his mouth.

Jiang Chuanyao stood up straight and went down to the basement.

-

Jiang Heming's study is on the negative floor facing north of the Jiang family, and the entire house of the Jiang family sits in the south and faces north, but the terrain is low in the south and high in the north. Two basement floors were dug in the northern corner. Jiang Heming is in the study, and below are his various treasures.

He sat on a large chair, and a landscape painting hung high behind him, and the shadow was full of shadows, and the back of a woman was faintly outlined in the landscape painting.

Jiang Chuanyao didn't come to Jiang Heming's study a few times; Last time I came here, this landscape painting was not seen yet.

"This is what I got from your uncle, and it was painted by him just like the one in the living room." Jiang Heming took the initiative to explain, and also quipped, "He used to love ink painting very much, if he hadn't been admitted to the School of Political Science and Law at the Academy of Fine Arts, he might be a teacher of painting now." ”

Jiang Chuanyao stood beside the big bookshelf with an outstanding posture and looked at the types of books Jiang Heming usually read, all of which were economic and political.

When the industry develops to a certain height, it will be difficult to separate the economy from the political.

"You were admitted to the procuratorate this time, and he allowed you to do what you wanted, but you have to know how to do it......

The corners of Jiang Chuanyao's mouth bent casually, not caring what Jiang Heming said about counting. When he was about to become an adult, Jiang Heming never hid the fact that he was not born to him.

Why is he in the Jiang family, because he is the illegitimate son of Jiang Xiaoxin and the woman outside, Jiang Xiaoxin's smooth promotion is not only because of his excellent ability, but also because Jiang Xiaoxin has been favored by the daughter of a high-ranking official.

Jiang Heming and Zhong Ling adopted him for the sake of wealth and wealth, and perfectly covered his image and future for Jiang Xiaoxin.

He became the son of Jiang Heming and Zhong Ling, anyway, Jiang Jiang was originally a family.

Jiang Xiaoxin also has an only daughter on his side, who was sent abroad since she was a child, and her wife is already registered in Canada. Jiang Xiaoxin also wanted to send him out of the country, but Jiang Heming did everything possible to leave him behind.

If you keep him, you will temporarily retain the wealth of the Jiang family.

But, sooner or later, this wealth will be taken back-

The wise see the invisible, and the wise worry about the unbudding.

How could Jiang Heming not understand the truth that "the wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind".

The Jiang family has expanded its overseas business, but it is just hiding it from Jiang Xiaoxin.

If Jiang Heming and Jiang Xiaoxin used to be one heart, now they are no longer the same. Jiang Xiaoxin may also have noticed that Jiang Heming and him were not of the same mind, and frequently coerced Jiang Heming to stop.

How could Jiang Heming give up the business territory he had worked so hard to build.

Even back then......

Jiang Heming asked about an unrelated matter: "Lin Chunsheng has an accident, do you know about it?" ”

Jiang Chuanyao lowered his hand lazily and replied, "How would I know?" ”

Jiang Heming: "Lin Chunsheng's daughter, you rejected her. ”

Jiang Chuanyao said lightly: "I rejected Lin Chun's daughter because I didn't like her, and there was no other reason. ”

Jiang Heming sighed, obviously not believing, pulled the drawer and threw out a stack of documents from it, pointed and asked, "Then what's the matter with your car watches?" You asked Secretary Lu to buy it for you, and then you found someone to sell it...... What the hell are you doing! ”

Jiang Chuanyao spread his hands and said apologetically: "I did a little business with my friends in private, and I lost money, so I used my car watch to offset it." ”

"Aren't you not interested in doing business?"

Jiang Chuanyao is still the second ancestor's unreliable way of speaking: "I'm not interested in doing business, but investment is different, and a few similar people in the circle don't play some investment." ”

Jiang Heming handed a copy of the resale agreement to Jiang Chuanyao: "You are interested in playing investment, why don't you come and ask me?" ”

Jiang Chuanyao said lightly: "The fields I invest in are different from yours, they are all young industries. ”

Jiang Heming's eyes rolled, as if judging Jiang Chuanyao's words. He didn't believe that Jiang Chuanyao would want to break away from this family.

No sons...... No one is willing to give up.

For Jiang Chuanyao, Jiang Heming's understanding is that he is still in the rebellious period. Just like he has always known Jiang Chuanyao, he rebelled in junior high and high school; At that time, the affairs between him and the Zhao family were settled with the help of him, who was a "father".

The more unreliable Jiang Chuanyao's performance is, the more reassuring he is at Jiang Chuanyao.

The little money that Jiang Chuanyao asked for was nothing to him at all. He can't be too wronged Jiang Xiaoxin's son, and he basically responds to Jiang Chuanyao's needs.

If Jiang Chuanyao has the heart to eat inside and out, he can't prevent it.

In the end, Jiang Chuanyao walked out of Jiang Heming's study, and Jiang Heming tentatively said one thing: "Lin Chunsheng had an accident, it is said that the central inspection team came down, and they have a list in their hands, and they will check them one by one...... You entered the Lan City Procuratorate, do you know about this? ”

Jiang Chuanyao turned his back to Jiang Heming, his shoulders were straight and shapely: "You think too highly of me, how can a bastard like me know this." ”

Jiang Chuanyao's study came up, Zhong Ling was still sitting alone on the sofa in the living room, Jiang Chuanyao glanced at her, and Zhong Ling also looked back at him: "You don't stay here at night?" ”

Jiang Chuanyao: "If you have something, go back to Lan City." ”

He walked out of the gate of the Jiang family, and a cold figure swept into his sight.

It's Xiao Rong.

"Hello Professor Xiao."

"I'll come over to see Mr. Zhong." Xiao Rong greeted him, walked past him, and stepped step by step on the steps of the Jiang family.

The wind was howling, and Xiao Rong's face was as white and cold as the moonlight in the sky.

Jiang Chuanyao looked back and looked, Xiao Rong was thin and skeletal, and he was actually very similar to someone.

-

Jiang Chuanyao called Bai Mang and was going to take her back to school.

Bai Mang received a call from Jiang Chuanyao, and the person was already on the way.

After the concubine's birthday party, she and Fang Zixin took a taxi from Ning City back to the southeast university town of Lan City.

Before getting off the bus, each took a cake.

Fang Zixin got out of the car before her, Bai Mang asked the driver to park the car at the west gate of Lan City, and when she pushed the car door down, a cold and gentle face appeared not far away.

Jiang Chuanyao stood alone in the night, looking cold and warm.

Bai Mang waited for him to come.

Jiang Chuanyao stepped forward, and she looked at the smile on his face up close, and it was even warmer.

"Why did you meet again?"

The corners of Jiang Chuanyao's lips turned up, and his smile was obvious: "It's not a chance encounter, it's a special encounter with you." ”

Bai Mang raised his head slightly, and said deliberately uninterestingly: "I didn't expect you to be such a pestering boyfriend." ”

Jiang Chuanyao hummed lightly and honestly admitted: "It seems to be a little more pestering than expected." ”

The two stood facing each other, Jiang Chuanyao was wearing a long black down windproof jacket, wearing it open, and it was a beige sweater inside.

Bai Mang has short boots on his feet, short down and jeans, wide cuffs, black knits at the waist, and loose jeans.

Compared with summer, the thick winter clothes made Bai Mang wear half more of himself.

Bai Mang and Jiang Chuanyao walked into the university town together, and Jiang Chuanyao had nothing to do with her, just came over to walk with her for a while.

The cold wind of the night swept through the long and narrow campus path, and the half-moon above the head swayed.

Bai Mang's white face unconsciously added a little smile.

After the excitement, I am most afraid of loneliness.

Yesterday I participated in the press conference of Bai Hui's works, and today I celebrated Fang Yuhuan's birthday, and Bai Mang was a little melancholy when Fang Zixin got off the car in front.

Although in the car that came back, Fang Zixin was talking in pieces.

She was quiet almost the whole time.

What Fang Zixin said was naturally the Lin family's business, except for gloating at the beginning, he also revealed a trace of complicated emotions when he spoke. There are suffocations and sighs, not for the arrogant and complacent Lin family, but for the lamentation of family and personal fate.

Although Ding Mingwei is more powerful in education, she is ...... in terms of life and work My concubine doesn't know how much Qiang Ding Mingwei is...... I believe that my family will be able to get up, but it is difficult to say about the Lin family. Lin Chunsheng is the big tree of the Lin family, and Ding Mingwei is the vine that entangles the tree, and the vine naturally falls when the tree falls."

"The concubine and Lao Ding are not the relationship between trees and vines! Why does Lao Ding love me, because Lao Ding knows that this family does not rely on him but on my mother! ”

"As for Lin Zhi and Lin Sheng, if something happens to the Lin family, the impact on Lin Zhi will definitely be greater than Lin Sheng."

"I don't know if the Lin family will collapse or not, but when the verdict comes down, it will definitely be bleak. …

Fang Zixin analyzed left and right, and sighed that it was really awesome for Fang Yuhuan to run a family as usual when Lao Ding had an accident.

"Bai Mang, what do you think?" After Fang Zixin finished speaking, she asked her what she thought.

Probably her silence seemed to make Fang Zixin feel a little unhappy.

Bai Mang felt that Fang Zixin might not have known Fang Yuhuan's ability, but he was too straightforward and quick-mouthed.

"Of course, your mother is amazing."

……

……

"Bai Mang, let's do a genetic test together tomorrow." Jiang Chuanyao suddenly made a suggestion, he had already sent her downstairs, and his calm words swept through Bai Mang's ears with the wind.

Bai Mang raised his face in astonishment.

Jiang Chuanyao remained calm and said the reason: "Perhaps, we are not? ”

Bai Mang: "......"

For a moment, "What if it was?" ”

Jiang Chuanyao wanted to stretch out his hand and put Bai Mang's shoulder.

"You still care about that, don't you?" Bai Mang had already taken a step back.

Jiang Chuanyao put down his hand.

"I just don't like it...... Unclear. He said.

Bai Mang pursed his lips, and his black and white eyes did not hesitate, clear and clear.

"Then it's not." She said the fact that she was extremely indifferent, "We don't have anything to do with each other. You are the Jiang family of Ningcheng, and I am Bai Mang of Yuncheng...... If you feel inappropriate and suspicious, we can do genetic testing, but with proof, we may be over. ”

"Once the human heart is suspicious, there is no secret, maybe today it is just the secret of the two of us, and it will soon become the secret of the people around us, and then the secret of many people."

"Do you want our relationship to be a secret to many?" Bai Mang asked Jiang Chuanyao strongly and arrogantly.

Jiang Chuanyao didn't panic, his face looked at her alone as usual, his eyes were as clear as a deep winter night, lofty and hard.

Immediately, the tall man gathered the down jacket on his body, took a step forward, and gently tilted his head to her ear, accompanied by a gentle voice, he clearly threw a counterattack in her ear: "Don't do it to me." ”

Bai Mang wants to move forward.

Jiang Chuanyao tugged at her hand, then stuffed a box-like thing into her padded jacket pocket.

"Since you don't want to, when I didn't say it."

Jiang Chuanyao took a long step and left quickly, and his back quickly melted into and disappeared in this obsessed night.

Bai Mang stayed on the steps of the dormitory for a while, and his mood was a little up.

She analyzes him as a person in her heart.

Jiang Chuanyao talked about a campus love with her, his feelings were fiery and hard, but he was not the type of unruly and bright young boy that can be seen everywhere on campus, just like Jiang Chuanyao's rebelliousness was never rash, but a silent long-term brewing.

-

Back in the dormitory, she brought the cake to Gu Jie.

When I came to the terrace outside the dormitory, I took out the box from my pocket.

The box opened, revealing a watch that looked extremely expensive.

"I'll rub, are you holding a lover's bridge in your hand!" Gu Jie didn't know when she stretched out her hand and pointed to the watch in the box incredulously, "Really? ”

Bai Mang looked at his watch: "...... It should be true. ”

Gu Jie leaned over and said sourly: "It's a birthday cake again, it's a gift again, it's your birthday today." ”

"It's not." Bai Mang closed the box, walked back to the dormitory, and after taking two steps, she turned around and Gu Jie said, "I'll go out for a while...... I don't sleep in the dormitory at night. ”

"Where are you going?"

"Return the watch."

Gu Jie: ...... Fool the kids!

Bai Mang came out of the dormitory and came to Jiang Chuanyao, it was ten o'clock in the moment.

She rang Jiang Chuanyao's doorbell.

In his residence, she had also entered her fingerprints and knew the password.

But for the sake of politeness, she still rang the doorbell, because so far, she and he were still outsiders.

Jiang Chuanyao came out to open the door, he had already washed, and the whole person was extremely refreshing.

"White ...... Mang ......"

The simple tone was suddenly sealed by the girl's lips.

Bai Mang put both hands on Jiang Chuanyao's shoulders, cushioned his toes, and hung almost the whole person on him, and then raised one hand and forcibly pulled off the other party's head.

“…… Want to see me again so soon? Jiang Chuanyao picked her up.

The body is clinging, and the heartbeat is pounding through the chest.

"It's not that I want to see you, but I'm afraid you'll regret it...... So what do we do that we won't regret? "The deep girlish voice is seductive and fatal.

She was so easy to be bad, as if she had lit a match in his heart with a gesture of kind discussion.

"So I don't want to see you, I want you."

With a stabbing sound, Jiang Chuanyao felt that his entire heart and lungs were about to explode......
