That night, when Jiang Lu took Ning Xi home, his mood was still somewhat affected.

He had no other feelings for this biological father than resentment.

After all, the last time the father and son met was on the day of their mother's death.

Jiang Qicheng's sudden appearance, Jiang Lu still has no way to do it, he really doesn't care.

He didn't say much along the way.

The two got out of the car together and walked into the living room.

Ning Xi felt his strangeness, reached over and gently grabbed the back of his hand.

"Isn't it, what's wrong?"

Jiang Lu shook his head slightly, thought about it, and nodded again.

"Today, I met someone I didn't want to see."

Rather look sideways and observe his expression.

"If you want to speak, I can be your listener; If you don't want to, I can also have a glass of wine with you. ”

"Just drink." Jiang Lu smiled, "You have to perform tomorrow, I don't want you to miss the plane." ”

"So......" Ning Xi blinked, "You're choosing option A, wait a minute." ”

Turning to the bar, she lifted her toes, pulled his favorite wine from the shelf, poured some into the glass, and added ice cubes.

He brought the wine and the cup and brought it to him.

She sat sideways beside him, raised her hands, and rubbed her ears.

"The ears have been washed, and you can go!"

The girl's expression is soft, cute and warm.

Jiang Lu stretched out his arms to hug her, pulled her into his arms, and stroked her long hair with his big hands.

"Have you ever heard of the name Jiang Qicheng?"

Ning Xi raised his eyes, "You mean...... Your dad? ”

"He's not my dad, or rather, I've never admitted he's my dad, and I'll never do."

Jiang Lu gently shook the cup in his hand.

The ice cubes shook in the amber liquor and hit the walls of the glass with a crisp crashing sound.

After a while, Jiang Lu raised his right hand and brought the cup to his mouth, pouring a large sip of wine into his mouth.

"I hate him!"

When Jiang's mother and Jiang Qicheng fell in love, she was already a well-known pianist.

In order to be with Jiang Qicheng, he even did not hesitate to fall out with his parents.

By the time she knew the truth, Jiang Lu was already seven months old.

Mother Jiang couldn't bear to kill a small life that had already taken shape.

In order to avoid Jiang Qicheng, she took the child in her belly to live a difficult life together, relying on playing the piano to pull Jiang Lu up.

Because of the maintenance of Jiang Law, Jiang's mother often works several jobs by herself.

The long-term hard work has already overspent her body.

In order to help his mother reduce the burden, Jiang Lu began to work part-time when he was ten years old.

Mowing the lawn for neighbors, delivering newspapers, selling lemonade, attending basketball games......

However, in the end, he was unable to keep his mother.

Before Jiang's mother died, she was worried that her son, who was not yet an adult, would be sent to a welfare home because he had no guardian.

In desperation, he re-contacted Jiang Qicheng and handed over his son to him to take care of.

At that time, Jiang Lu, who was only fifteen years old, met his father for the first time.

"At that time...... Jiang Lu shook his head slightly, "I would have preferred that he was dead, as his mother said." ”

Because she didn't want to hurt her son, Jiang's mother kept coaxing him and said that he had a father who loved him very much, but he died early due to illness.

Children of their age always trust their mothers, and so do they.

Until the bloody facts, torn apart mercilessly.

Jiang Lu realized that he was just an illegitimate child, and his father was just a cheating liar.

Ning Xi didn't comfort him, because she knew very well that no words meant anything at this time, and she just helped him add half a small glass of wine.

Jiang Lu drank wine and continued to talk about him.

Everyone believes that Jiang Lu is an illegitimate child who was raised outside by Jiang Qicheng since he was a child, and he relies on Jiang Qicheng to get to where he is today.

Only Jiang Lu himself knows that from birth to the present, he has not spent a penny on Jiang Qicheng.

Even if he was set off by Jiang and brought back to China, the air ticket money was bought by Jiang Lu with the money from his part-time job.

This is the condition for him to talk with Jiang Qicheng -

It's okay for him to go back to China, and it's okay to be his guardian, but he will never call his dad and won't spend a minute on him.

Jiang Qicheng originally thought that a child was just a momentary gamble, and sooner or later he would compromise with him.

However, Jiang Lu did not.

Not only did he not, but he also relied on his own efforts and strength to get to where he is today.

These things are said now, or they will only become an inspirational story.

Ning Xi can imagine how difficult it is for him to get to where he is today.

No wonder......

He said he had worked so many jobs?

Rather help him add another half a glass of wine, "The last half glass, you will get drunk if you drink it again." ”

Jiang Lu turned his face sideways and stared at her face.

"You know, pity, I hate myself sometimes if...... Without me, my mom would have become a very famous musician and she would have had a more exciting life...... Definitely. ”

When he said this, he shook his head and frowned, with a look of distress and helplessness.

Even now, Jiang Lu still can't let go of his mother's death.

This is the first time that Jiang Lu has shown his most vulnerable side in front of her.

Ning Xi hugged him with distress, stretched out his palm, and gently rubbed the short hair behind his head.

"No, I'm also a woman, I understand your mother, she must love you very much, and when she is with you, it must be the happiest day of her life."

Jiang Lu buried his face in her chest and shook his head incessantly.

"No, if it weren't for me, she would have a better life and a better son.

I was the one who killed her...... Sorry...... Do you know?

Something...... No matter how hard you try, you can't make up for it.

My life was a mistake. ”

After saying the last sentence, Jiang Lu didn't speak again, hugged her waist and fell asleep.

Ning Xi originally wanted to help him upstairs, but he couldn't help him, so he simply brought the quilt and covered him.

Worried that he would be uncomfortable in the middle of the night, she brought a blanket and slept next to the sofa.

Fortunately, Jiang Lu's wine is very good.

neither vomited nor tossed, until dawn Ning was woken up by the alarm clock, Jiang Lu still slept soundly on the sofa.

Without disturbing him, she got up softly.

Help him make white porridge, put it in the thermos bucket, and write down a note and leave it on the table.

Only then did he rush to the rehearsal venue with the piano in hand to prepare for the evening performance.

That night, the performance ended smoothly.

Ning Xi and everyone came to the backstage from the bandstand.

Chen Chen came to her side and asked her about performing abroad, and the two of them were chatting happily when a staff member suddenly came over.

"Excuse me, which one is Miss Ning Xi?"

Ning Xi stopped, "I am, what's the matter?" ”

"There is a Mr. Jiang who wants to see you, and he is waiting for you in the VIP room." The staff replied.

Generally speaking, the most audience members want to get in touch with the musicians is to lay flowers on stage or send gifts backstage.

Those who have the opportunity to come into contact with musicians in the VIP hall are generally either rich or noble, and they are characters that the concert hall does not dare to offend.

Chen Chen only thought it was Jiang Lu, and touched Ning Xi's arm with a wicked smile.

"Good guy, our Mr. Jiang sprinkles dog food on us every day, so he is not afraid that we will have indigestion?"

"I'll go back and buy you some stomach and diet tablets."

Ning Xi replied to her with a smile and came to the VIP room with a violin.

Seeing the two bodyguards standing outside the door, like a black tower, she was slightly stunned.

This kind of work is not like Jiang Lu.

If it's not Jiang Lu, which Mr. Jiang will it be?

She was about to ask when one of the bodyguards pushed the door open.

"Miss Ningxi, Mr. Jiang is waiting for you inside."
