Chapter Forty-Six: The Man Behind the Scenes
Glancing at the alarm clock on the wall, it was almost 1 o'clock. "Brother, I'm leaving."
walked to the door non-stop, took out his mobile phone and dialed, "Hey, daughter-in-law, you simply pack up, let's meet at the airport, well, yes, a temporary business trip." β
After hanging up the phone, he went straight to the underground garage at a speed of 100 meters.
Sure enough, his brother's empathy was used to squeeze their little brothers, and he still expected his brother to praise him, which was a dream.
"If you have something to do and have any progress, contact the eldest brother directly."
Someone smiled treacherously, of course he had to carry something together, he also had a temper, and he couldn't act as a microphone during a business trip abroad.
Sure enough, the twin duo who received the news instantly had a black line on their faces, his eldest brother's uncertain appearance, who could withstand it, why did the second brother go on a business trip at this time, there was really something to report.
"Brother."
"Otherwise, you can report to your eldest brother."
Yu Fei was born ten minutes earlier than Yu Lei, but since the two of them started talking, he never called his brother, he was courteous and courteous, either a traitor or a thief, sure enough, this is what it means to push him out to block the gun.
"Brother."
"I'm sorry, I can't help you."
One by one, he broke the fingers that were clutching his clothes, harmless to people and animals, and his thin lips were lightly opened, and he said the most ruthless words in the most gentle tone.
He is two twins, and his appearance is naturally the same, it is the kind of female face that is popular now, handsome and elegant. It's just that in terms of temperament, one is as steady as a mountain, and the other is as smart as water, which may be the reason why grandpa chose to send him to Ye Hanxiu's side in the first place.
Seeing that coquettishness and cuteness didn't work, Yu Lei, known as the "little overlord of the rivers and lakes", crossed his hands and waists, and angrily shouted at Yu Fei, who was about to get up and leave, "Yu Fei, are you really so ruthless?" β
Knowing that he was at home, no matter how much he played in front of his second brother, they would not embarrass him. But as soon as he arrived in front of Ye Hanxiu, he was like a deflated ball, he didn't say a word more, and if it wasn't even necessary, he wouldn't even raise his head, and he looked like he was avoiding cats and mice.
"Don't you know?"
The war between them has always been won by him. It doesn't cost a single soldier, or even a hand, pinching the key point and grasping the key to the problem is enough to make Yu Lei defeated, grandpa's original words are, "It's not the same to take one more breath of air", not to mention that he was born 10 minutes earlier than him.
Yes, how could I forget that this person is the master of soft and hard, not to mention that he has been trained under Ye Hanxiu.
"Okay, then I'll wait for the second brother to come back."
"Do you think you can still stand in front of your eldest brother at that time?"
There are priorities, and if a bigger basket is poked out at that time, it will really be difficult for the gods to save. What's more, at this time, the second brother is still on a business trip, and the situation over there must be urgent, so it seems that it is not certain when he will come back.
"But, I γγγγγγ"
"I'll go with you!"
Otherwise, exercise more often, so that you will not be cowardly at critical moments. Yu Lei was too well protected by his family to be cowardly in front of the real strong, which was also one of the main reasons why he was afraid of Ye Hanxiu.
"Let's go."
Yu Fei's words undoubtedly gave him a dose of reassurance, and he was still struggling to shirk before, but this time he is very positive.
Before and after the saddle, he gave his brother clothes and handed the keys.
I didn't want to go back to the old house, and I didn't want to go to the new property that my grandfather bought for him, so I stayed in the Dynasty Hotel.
"I'm just, used to it. I'm used to holding him in my heart, and I'm used to thinking about him but not seeing him. The fragrance of red wine in her mouth is no longer there, perhaps it is a habit that has been cultivated for many years, resulting in no matter what kind of wine is now tasteless in her mouth.
Mo Ran, who was just trying to ask questions, was surprised by her answer. Wanwan's dedication, she knows, it's only been five years, she is still so affectionate, after all, that person is not worthy.
Brushing the hair from the girl's ears and looking at her slightly reddened eyes, Mo Ran blamed herself a little, she was too hasty and shouldn't have asked knowingly.
"Oh, look at my mouth, let's not talk about this, drink, don't you want to celebrate the end of your new book, drink, yes, drink."
"I wish my family's warm new books to sell well and make a lot of money, cheers."
"Cheers."
He patted his mouth, and then raised the cup in his hand and touched it in Su Yiwan's hand, trying to break the current atmosphere, and the sound of tinkling and ding echoed back and forth in the empty room.
The two chatted like this, probably only they would have red wine with fried chicken, this is a way of eating invented by Su Yiwan, simple fast food with romantic red wine in Allure, giving people a concise and mellow experience.
After the celebration, Su Yiwan sent Mo Ran into the elevator, and when he turned around, he found that there seemed to be someone hiding behind the door of the safety staircase. The shadow was cast on the ground, tall and thin, with a peaked cap. didn't stop long, opened the door and entered the house, and when the ticking sound sounded, he was paralyzed and slid to the ground along the entrance door. This is the top floor, except for her, basically no one will come up, the design of two households on the first floor, the other one, no one has been there for five years, because she has the key. She was sure it was him.
The strength of the red wine was too great, and I gently shook my head that was a little swollen, touched my stomach that was aching, and realized that I had fallen asleep on the ground.
I got up and went into the kitchen, took a glass of warm water and drank it, and the stomach pain was relieved.
On the sofa, her eyes were staring at the TV series without sound, and her mind went back to the past.
She is an orphan, helpless, and it is not easy to live a stable and ordinary life like now. Especially, she can be regarded as having a career, although she is in the online literature world, but she has a rich life and is chic.
But to be more precise, before she was 15 years old, she had parents and brothers.
"Her father, why don't you let the baby go on, the baby studies well, maybe there will be a big future in the future."
The peasant woman who was sewing worn-out clothes in the dim light in the house said, her eyes glanced at the wooden door that creaked when the wind blew from time to time, and on the wooden pier at the door was Su Yiwan when she was a teenager, no, it was still Su Xiaobao at that time.
"Why don't you want her to go to school? My old Su family has been mud legs for several generations, and our family has produced two champions, so we must have the ability in the future. But Dabao's illness can also be cured, heyγγγγγγ "My daughter has been sensible since she was a child, well-behaved, and good at studying, but the conditions at home are really not available. The family's money has to be kept for Dabao's treatment, it is the incense of his Su family, and he can't be cut off here, I'm sorry for the ancestors. can only smoke the dry smoke rolled by himself in a muffled voice, and the clouds and fog may be able to offset the powerlessness in his heart a little.
"Pack up and go to bed, we have to catch an early train tomorrow morning."
From time to time, the pond outside the house heard the croaking of frogs, and the summer cicada was not to be outdone in squeaking in response, and in the quiet night, the boring temperature, only the girl bent over and sat at the door.
The house is not big, just a dilapidated house, and I can hear all the conversations between my parents word for word. But she didn't say anything, and continued to tease the ants who were struggling to carry food scraps with the dog's tail grass in her hand. No matter how sensible and understanding she is, she will not take the initiative to tell them, "I won't go to school anymore, and the family's money will be used for my brother's treatment." She knew very well that if she wanted to change the fate of her family and change her own destiny, going to school was the only way out.
Looking up at the sky, I silently said "Brother, I'm sorry". His elder brother has heart disease, which was discovered during the physical examination two years ago, but fortunately, there is no big abnormality in his body now, and it does not affect his school for the time being. But it's hard to say, the doctor recommends going to a big city for a check-up as soon as possible.
She didn't blame the parents who left the car without saying a word the next day, they just wanted to take their son to see a doctor, what was wrong. It's just that this time, she completely lost her loved ones, she was still resentful in her heart, and there was a car accident on the way back from picking up her son to see a doctor, and the three of them disappeared directly on the spot. When the village party secretary came to inform her in a panic, she was directly stunned, fainted on the spot, and when she woke up, it was a week later.
"Girl, you have been with a high fever for the past few days, the weather is too hot, and you can't leave it for too long, so we will take care of the aftermath, this is what they left behind." Touching the bloodstained cloth bag in her hand and hugging it tightly to her chest, she couldn't breathe in her heart. It was the bag they used to pack their things the night before they left, and the only 20,000 yuan in the family was in it, which was originally used to treat his brother's illness, but he didn't expect that everything would come to naught.
High fever and severe dehydration, skin on the lips, foaming in the mouth, sunken eyes, red blood at the corners of the eyes, and white like a ghost. She opened her mouth several times, but she couldn't open it, as if she was stuck with glue, and when she tried the fourth time, she barely managed to squeeze out two sentences.
"Thanks, I want to go back to school." Looking at the branch secretary in front of her almost pleadingly, this was her last chance.
"Alas, you girlγγγγγγ" The voice was full of helplessness and sympathy, at a young age, I experienced this, and no one could stand it.
Just when she looked at the branch secretary walking around the room, one hand on her waist, and the other hand kept scratching the top of the half-bald head, she lost hope, she could feel the other party's strange embarrassment.
"I try." Half an hour later, just when she was about to give up, she heard the branch secretary throw down these words and ran away in a hurry.
A week later, she was discharged from the hospital and went directly to the grave, looking at the newly piled up of soil and scattered paper money in front of her, she still couldn't accept it, it was her loved ones lying inside, no one around, and she could finally cry loudly, venting all the grievances, fears, and helplessness of these days. β
"Didn't you take your brother to see a doctor? Howγγγγγγ β
"I still have to go to school, you left me behind, what should I do, Mom, what should I do if I'm afraid of the dark at night, it's just me, you are so ruthless."
