Chen Wengang knew that Zheng Bingyi had a habit of taking a lunch break, so he waited until more than two o'clock to find Lin Bo: "Is my father-in-law free now?" ”

The old butler went and returned, and told him, "The master is reading." ”

Chen Wengang pushed open the door of the study, and the head of the family was waiting for him inside.

Zheng Bingyi is over fifty years old, his complexion is bronze, his eyebrows are as prominent as the riverbank, his eyes are deep, shrewd, and he is facing the window to study the pages in his hand, and the traditional "Tao Te Ching" is arranged vertically. There is a painting behind him, "Good as water", which is his own pen and ink.

In the past, he was so decisive in the business field, but since he had two heart attacks in a row, he has also begun to pay attention to self-cultivation.

Chen Wengang approached step by step, Zheng Bingyi took off his reading glasses, threw them on the table, and made a gratling sound.

He called out "Father-in-law" and stood respectfully at his table: "I have come to confess my mistake to you." ”

Zheng Bingyi snorted: "You all have great abilities now, what is wrong with me?" ”

Chen Wengang's attitude was very low: "Don't be angry, pay attention to your body." ”

He stood there, the afternoon sun not reading the air, still sneaking in through the window, and sprinkled his head and face like broken gold.

Zheng Bingyi can't help but admit that this child is good-looking; In his heart, he could even understand why his son would fall in love with him.

When the old father remembered the laboratory that he donated to the university last year - Baoqiu and Maoxun's grades were not enough, and they went to college by spending money to stuff them in, Zheng Yucheng was better than his younger siblings, relying on the entrance exams he passed.

can be compared with Chen Wengang, no one is as good as anyone else. Chen Wengang got an A+ in every course and received a full scholarship. The school manager he met at the dinner flattered Zheng Bingyi, and Zheng Bingyi knew that there was such a thing. He is inconspicuous and has been quietly pressing Zheng Yucheng.

Sometimes Zheng Bingyi still has some regrets. Why don't you have this mind?

The adopted son made him feel at ease, never publicity, and was willing to be a green leaf, which made him restrain his temper.

"Alright." He opened the drawer, took out the humidor, and took one from the inside, "First of all, did you find the person who took the photo?" ”

"Not yet, I asked the school security department, there is no monitoring near that wall, and it will be too much fanfare if you call the police."

"In the afternoon, I asked your principal to have dinner, and the images recorded between the students were deleted by them, what kind of trouble did it look like."

"I'm sorry for your trouble."

"It's good that you know. I'm glad you see that sooner or later I'll let me have another heart attack. ”

Zheng Bingyi opened the drawer, took out a cigar, and then took out the cigar cutter, and clicked open the head of the cigar. He lit the fire, showing a thoughtful look, and Chen Wengang was on the side, waiting for him to finish pumping and announcing the results of his thinking.

Finally, Zheng Bingyi put the cigar on the ashtray: "I was also young, and young people like to play, which is understandable." You have a good relationship with Yucheng, I didn't know it before, but I didn't say a word to stop you, did I? But there must be a limit to everything. You guys want to play, no problem. But in a family like ours, there are some things that can't be taken seriously. You know that? ”

Maybe Zheng Yucheng knows his father well, but not enough.

Regarding Chen Wengang, whether he and Zheng Yucheng kissed, caressed, or slept or not, Master Zheng really didn't care at all. That quiet eyebrow can't actually deceive Zheng Bingyi. But wanting to be together for a lifetime is a fantasy.

Chen Wengang bowed his hands, Zheng Bingyi has always been more like his boss than his nominal father.

But before he went out, Zheng Bingyi still showed a little bit of his father's heart: "Wengang, you are the most reassuring to me, you are sensible, and I don't want to say anything heavy to scold you." How many times have Yucheng and Maoxun been in trouble since childhood, only you will never commit it. ”

He patted his adopted son: "Even if it's a lesson, be cautious in everything in the future, don't let me down." ”

It is true that Chen Wengang rarely makes mistakes, but he does not absolutely not.

What kid wouldn't get into trouble?

When he was a teenager, he was wronged in a new school and discriminated against by a snobbish teacher, and suddenly wanted to go back to his old home. Zheng Yucheng accompanied him to run away from home, and neither of them told anyone, making the Zheng family think that they had been kidnapped and called the police.

After returning, Limber criticized Chen Wengang. Zheng Bingyi was also unhappy, but he didn't say a word to him.

He asked Chen Wengang to go to sleep, but Zheng Yucheng was locked up in the confinement room on an empty stomach overnight, and no one could persuade him.

However, Chen Wengang naturally couldn't sleep, he accompanied Zheng Yucheng outside through the door.

The night was deep and dewy, and the wind through the hall was cold and cold. Lin Bo came to see them with a blanket, and Zheng Yucheng fell asleep heartlessly wrapped in a blanket. Lin Bo asked Chen Wengang if he had figured out what he had done wrong, and he said that he had figured it out.

Actually, I didn't necessarily really figure it out, but I instinctively felt that it was better to answer like this.

At that time, I still understood something to some extent, and he was not disciplined differently from the other children in the family.

Zheng Yucheng will be punished directly, and after the punishment, it will be fine. On the contrary, for Chen Wengang, it is not a matter of good fortune that he has not been punished. He will always keep the lesson in mind. He can only examine his own position from the clues.

Since then, I've become extraordinarily well-behaved. Playing by the rules, good or bad, is the safest way to go.

He made fewer and fewer mistakes, and Zheng Bingyi became more and more satisfied with him.

Being good with Zheng Yucheng is the most unruly thing he has done.

Before leaving, I heard Zheng Bingyi ask, "What about Maoxun?" Now that he's in the company, how do you feel about what he's doing? ”

Chen Wengang actually didn't know, and gave a few words of praise that were not wrong: "He is very hard-working, willing to improve, and makes rapid progress." ”

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, the corners of Zheng Bingyi's mouth fell: "Yes, why didn't I see it." ”

Chen Wengang had no choice but to smile.

Zheng Bingyi said: "If they are all like you, I will have peace of mind - Zheng Maoxun is very playful, and there are many things in business that are not proficient, you can transfer to a position, and take him with you if you have time in the future." You don't have to follow Yucheng in and out all the time. ”

*

Chen Wengang came out of the study, and as soon as he walked down the stairs, a shadow pounced on him like a whirlwind: "Brother Wengang! ”

He gave a smile to the visitor.

Zheng Baoqiu hugged his arm: "Do you remember my cousin?" Huo Niansheng! ”

Chen Wengang accompanied Zheng Baoqiu in the direction of the living room, and his face did not show any abnormality at all: "What's wrong with him?" ”

"You also heard my mother say that he is coming back recently." Zheng Baoqiu said, "I want to buy something to give him." But I don't know what to give to you boys, so why don't you pick them up with me. ”

Chen Wengang said: "Okay, it depends on when you are free." ”

In his heart, he has always regarded Baoqiu as a younger sister, even if it is not for Huo Niansheng, he will not refuse this little sister's request. Zheng Baoqiu was really happy: "You are still the best for me!" Neither of my own brothers would go with me. ”

Chen Wengang smiled: "Do you refuse, or don't you dare to accompany you shopping?" ”

Zheng Baoqiu didn't care, she and Chen Wengang looked at his class schedule on their mobile phones.

Now he is in the second semester of his junior year, and he will be his senior year in another summer. Thanks to the first two years of credits, there is not much homework left, except for a morning class the next day, and the rest of the week is free.

Zheng Baoqiu was too lazy to wait, so he made an appointment to wait for him to finish class tomorrow, and the two went directly to the department store.

The two of them were chattering on the sofa, looking around to see if there was anyone around, Zheng Baoqiu finally couldn't hold it back, and lowered the volume to the decibel level of sharing secrets: "What did my dad tell you?" Did I scold you? Will you and my eldest brother still be together in the future? ”

Chen Wengang didn't expect that there was still a little gossip spirit waiting here, and said vaguely: "Let's talk about it." ”

"Don't be perfunctory to me." Zheng Baoqiu was lying on the armrest of the sofa, a little girl of her age still had romantic fantasies, "I used to secretly help the two of you pass love letters." I think you really like my brother. Don't you really fight for it? ”

Zheng Baoqiu occasionally broke the relationship between the two of them at home before, and helped keep the secret for a long time.

Chen Wengang felt a little more relaxed and teased her: "What would you do if you were replaced?" ”

She said, "Kneeling outside the study door for three days and three nights? Otherwise, pack up and elope? ”

Chen Wengang really smiled and asked her: "Isn't it easier and safer to break up?" ”

"What about love?"

"Love is not that important."

"No, do you really want to divide it?"

This time, Chen Wengang gave her an affirmative answer.

Zheng Baoqiu let out a "ha", his expression was regretful.

But she said: "Then I have to secretly make a wish, hoping that in the end it will not be He Wanxin who will be my sister-in-law." ”

"It's not because of anything else," Zheng Baoqiu dangled her feet, with a thin platinum chain wrapped around her ankles, "I use my personality to assure you, she doesn't really like my brother 100%. Of course that's not the main thing, I sometimes think she's a bit ...... Terrible. ”

Chen Wengang was surprised by her feminine intuition, and when he opened his mouth, he could only turn into a helpless smile.

He promised Zheng Baoqiu that he would not mention it to anyone, and their little secret was one more one.

Zheng Baoqiu ran away, his smile also disappeared, this name had brought him too much haze.

Zheng Baoqiu said that he hated it, probably from an instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

And the relationship between him and He Wanxin is no longer a relationship that he hates or describes.

It was she who once ruined the second half of a person's life for her own selfishness.

For the rest of the day, Mr. Chen locked himself in his bedroom and did not see anyone else. When he was reborn, he needed some space to think, including how to face He Wanxin in this life - and Zheng Yucheng. Hate is a protracted attrition, and it is difficult for him to hate anyone for a long time. And now that I think about it, the grievances in my previous life stopped with Huo Niansheng, and it was Huo Niansheng who made this decision for him.

Therefore, Chen Wengang did not come up with a very definite answer.

In the dream, Huo Niansheng came unexpectedly, with a familiar carelessness, laughing at him for still being so indecisive.

Chen Wengang sat on the seaside bench, accustomed to this kind of contemptuous tone, and was not angry, but felt nostalgic for some reason.

He also replied in a mocking tone: "Yes, Jiang is old and spicy, you are well-informed, can you tell me what to do?" ”

Huo Niansheng didn't answer, he sat down next to Chen Wengang. He sat with Chen Wengang for a while, but the wind became cold.

Huo Niansheng stood up and touched his hair: "I should go." ”

Chen Wengang subconsciously grabbed him.

Huo Niansheng lowered his head, looked at him and smiled: "Don't you want me to go?" ”

The sea breeze hunted, and the noise became louder, and a wave of noise poured into the ears. Chen Wengang was speechless, so he could only shake his head.

Grief spread from his heart.

Huo Niansheng laughed again, and broke his fingers a little bit: "Why don't you want me to go?" ”

Chen Wengang still couldn't answer the reason, and he couldn't match the strength of the other party, so he finally had to let go of his hand.

He watched as Huo Niansheng bent down and left a very light kiss on his burned cheek: "Wengang, goodbye." ”

Then wave your hand, take one step at a time, and disappear at the end of the beach.
