"Xingzhu, do you have time in the evening, let's have a meal together." When Ouyang Jin called to find me, I was doing laundry, and finally had a holiday, so I got all the things I had accumulated at home that I didn't have time to tidy up and clean.

"Why do you want to invite me to dinner," I threw all my clothes into the washing machine, "Shen Yan is not going?" ”

"What is he doing, I invited you." Ouyang Jin's voice was a few tones higher when he spoke, "Don't ask him for everything, you are not his slave." ”

"Then what are you looking for me, why do you want to invite me to dinner for no reason." I'm still wearing my pajamas, and I'm finally taking a day off and sleeping until noon, "I don't want to go out, it's hot outside." ”

"I have something to do with you, why are you always so vigilant, or I'll pick you up." Ouyang Jin was still stubborn, "What is Shen Yan doing today, if you don't feel at ease, call him too." ”

"Okay, I'll go with you, you can decide when and where you are, and come and pick me up when the time comes." I remembered that there was something I hadn't settled with him yet, so I just asked, "Let's talk about it in the evening, you can pick me up on time." ”

"Okay, that's it, you don't want to go when the time comes, then I'll let Shen Yan fire you."

I laughed and hung up the phone, still nestled on the couch watching TV. But I didn't stay quiet for long, and the phone rang again after a while.

"What's the matter with you?" Ouyang Jin is really annoying sometimes, and I didn't get angry when I picked up the phone.

"Xingzhu, it's me, Aunt Zeng."

On the other side of the phone, it was an unexpected person.

"What's wrong Xingzhu, is there anything bothering?" She was still in an unhurried tone, I really wondered why a person could be so calm and peaceful, so chaotic, "Xingzhu, didn't bother you, right?" ”

"It's you, Aunt Zeng, I'm sorry, I'm not angry at you." Why did you call me at this time, I was very curious, "Aunt Zeng, how are you doing?" ”

"Okay, it's my old woman who is boring every day, and there is no one to talk to." Her voice is actually very good, warm and soft, and her tone is gentle. "Xingzhu, you don't think I'm talking to you every day about these useless things, right?"

"Where, Aunt Zeng, you're joking, don't you often say, we are a family, how can a family be nagging." I can always be very quiet and peaceful when facing this lady, even when I know that she has put Lianyu under house arrest and is addicted to drugs, I force myself to be calm, she can be so calm, I can also be as quiet as her, without losing her posture.

"Hehe, Xingzhu, you are really caring, my two daughters are not as good at talking as you." She laughed like the sun on a winter afternoon, but I pulled myself out in the illusion that she wasn't really smiling at me. "Xingzhu, how long has it been since you came home, your father misses you, and he lost his temper yesterday and asked us to call you back."

As soon as she talked about my dad, my heart trembled slightly.

"Then is he okay now, I'm busy with work during this time, and I'll go to see him when I have time, you tell him to reassure him."

"Don't you know your father's temper, how can he easily change what he believes. He always wants you to go home, wants you to move back in, and if he mentions you, who can persuade him. Aunt Zeng also laughed, my father is indeed like this, I don't know if he can't take care of it a lot when he's old or it's always been like this, anyway, once he is stubborn, he can't listen to anyone's words.

"Then I have to bother Aunt Zeng to help me persuade him, I miss him very much, but I am not stable now, and I will take him to live with me when my situation is better." My current plan is to be completely independent, and I want to create a world without relying on the Hsu family.

"Xingzhu, there is nothing at home, why do you have to work hard. Your father is old now, you children still have to spend more time with him, the family doesn't need you children to work so hard. ”

"It's nothing to work hard, hasn't Tianyi always worked hard, my ideal is to be as good as Tianyi," I stopped here, Tianyi can be so successful because she has such a planned mother, so what about me, how can I achieve such an achievement as Tianyi.

"Xingzhu, it's good that you have ideals, but you still don't understand how many thorns and obstacles lie ahead of the path you have chosen."

"If you want to succeed, you have to bear it first, and no one's achievements will be achieved overnight. Fortunately, I have friends to help, Aunt Zeng, don't I still have you, don't you support me? "I know in my heart how she dealt with me and what method she used to deal with me, but I can't confront her face to face, I can't ask her to understand, Ouyang Jin and Shen Yan both advised me to calm down, I must endure, I want to see what they are going to do in the end and what their purpose is, if I rashly find out now, I don't know what kind of danger my father and Lianyu will face.

"Xingzhu, it's always good to have ideals, as long as you have ideals, I will always support you. Auntie just hopes that you don't push yourself too much, you have to always remember that you still have a father, waiting for you to care. ”

"Okay then, I'll go over and see him now, Aunt Zeng, will you be at home?" The meaning of what she said was obvious, I still have a dad and I need to worry.

"Auntie has been at home all the time, waiting for you to come home and have a good time."

Okay, I'll go home and take a look, since you want to see me and talk to me, then I'll listen to you, go back and meet you, give you an understanding of my current situation, let you feel at ease, let you rest assured.

The roses on the wall of the house are still blooming brilliantly and enchantingly, domineeringly decorating the entire wall and the entire house, red, white, pink and yellow. This small flower is extremely vigorous, and can easily spread, occupying the entire territory, dotted with dots where it depends.

I've even begun to appreciate the vitality and domineering nature of this little flower.

The housekeeper came to pick me up at the door, and when he saw me, he was naturally smiling.

"Miss, you're back. The old man was still thinking about you just now. "The housekeeper is actually a very kind person, talking and laughing first, always making me feel extra close.

"Is my dad okay, has he been to the hospital again?" The butler held up a parasol, and I was temporarily freed from the harsh sunlight.

"Recently, the old man's state is okay, but he has been sleepy lately, and now he is taking a nap. Miss, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while to see him. ”

Drowsiness? Yes, the last time I came, I also caught up with my dad to take a nap, do you really need to sleep and rest more when you are old?

"Old housekeeper, does my father have any other illness, was he like this before?"

"Miss, my lord has always been in good health, but he has a heart attack that needs daily care," the butler paused when he said this, "but he always seems to be lacking in energy lately, and we can't ask questions about it at the moment, just serve and take care of it carefully." ”

"Old butler, do you know something?" The housekeeper has been with my father for a long time, and he knows my father's condition better than me, "My father was not like this before, has something happened recently?" ”

"Miss, you're joking, my lord has always been like this, and you have always been with you to take care of it, what else do you not know." The housekeeper smiled apologetically, "Miss, it's just that when people are old enough to be our age, they all want someone to accompany them." If there is someone around you who can talk often to relieve boredom, it may not be so sad. ”

Dad said that if there was no one to take the child, he would give it to him, and he would bring it for us. At my father's age, his children and grandchildren should be around his knees and laughing constantly, but looking at the current situation, Xu Wei is not at home, Xu Tianyi is often busy with the company's affairs, and Aunt Zeng has an estranged relationship with her father after all, even if they are together, I am afraid they can't say a few words.

When I entered, Aunt Zeng was waiting at the door, and when she saw me coming, she naturally took my hand and pulled me in and sat down.

"Xingzhu, I haven't seen you for a few days, you seem to have lost a lot of weight, why don't you take good care of yourself." As she spoke, she motioned for the maid to pour tea, "Your father must be distressed again when he sees you." ”

"Where, I'm like this, maybe I haven't seen each other for a few days." I chuckled, "Now I still have time to think nonsense, I haven't heard from him for a long time, and I don't know what happened to him, and Xu Wei hasn't been in touch with me." I just want to live my life well, maybe things will get better. ”

"If you want Xu Wei, I can try to contact her and ask her to call you, but I can't help you with it. You husband and wife don't know what happened, and your father and I have never dared to ask you for fear that you will be sad. "She doesn't even blink an eye when she speaks, and all I can say is that she's really a master.

"It's best to be able to contact Xu Wei, and the matter between me and Zhuoyu won't bother you." I feel distressed when I think of Juanyu, Juanyu doesn't know what the situation is now, I was so determined to part with him at the beginning, I never want to see him again, but now I know all the truth of the matter, but I can only watch him fall into the sea of misery and can't help him at all.

"Xingzhu, I want to ask you a question." Her tone of voice became polite again, but I was puzzled when I wanted to say that I was still ashamed.

"You say."

"I've heard that you've been getting close to the Shaw Brothers lately, is that the case?" She's really well-informed, but I don't know what she's trying to keep a close eye on me.

"It's just a business relationship," I pretended to be nothing, and only the more obvious and unimportant I pretended to be, so that she could feel that I was actually not a danger to her, and that I could not pose a threat.

"Oh, the Shaw Group is not simple, if you want to deal with them, you should be cautious."

"Yes, I will, I just want to make more friends, and the road will be easier in the future."

Well, since a war has slowly started between us, since you must deal with me and secretly guard against me, then I will definitely fight you to the end, and I will not let you down.

"Xingzhu, your father has always loved you very much, and you must not let him down."
