Spend a lifetime
Xiao Zheng's expression froze slightly, and then he said half-jokingly: "Uncle, I am not the kind of person you think."
Although Gandolf was old, he always kept up with the trend. He instantly understood the subtext of Xiao Zheng's words and couldn't help laughing: "Me neither!"
After that, Gandolf lit a cigarette, his face filled with smoke, and said word by word: "Azheng. In one sentence, put forward your conditions. As long as I can do it, I will not let you suffer. No matter it is business On, or in other ways.”
"Sorry. I didn't want him to say yes to you."
Before Xiao Zheng could answer, Sophia, who was holding her cell phone, turned on the loudspeaker and transliterated the words she typed into her cell phone.
"Huh?" Gandolf was slightly startled and turned his gaze to Sophia. "Why?"
"Do you want the most important person in your life to be in danger?" Sophia had a tough attitude. "lifetime?"
Gandolf smiled, his attitude still modest: "Spend your whole life doing something that you may never need to do. And get huge rewards. This is actually a very good deal."
"I have everything you have. Although not as much as you. But I can give it all to him, but you can't and won't." Sofia stared calmly at the predator in front of her who could shock the entire New York City, her face expressionless. Pick up your phone. "Why should he agree to you? What reason does he have to agree to you?"
Gandolf smiled and did not refute this. He just focused his attention on Xiao Zheng's face again.
Xiao Zheng took two puffs of his e-cigarette, but with a calm smile on his face: "You want me to spend my whole life protecting Downey Jr.?"
Gandolf nodded silently.
"Then do you know that I am his master. And he is probably my only apprentice in this life?" Xiao Zheng asked rhetorically.
"For a strong man like you, it's enough to teach an apprentice." Gandolf did not answer directly, but explained the choices that people who reach Xiao Zheng's level usually make.
"Then why do you still make such a request?" Xiao Zheng said with a slight frown. "Don't you think it's unnecessary?"
"No." Gandolf smiled and said. "In this world, except for me, there is no other person who can give everything for him."
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "That's true. If he dares to steal my woman, I will definitely give him a beating."
"What if my son becomes her enemy?" Gandolf pointed at Sophia and said meaningfully. "What if my son was an enemy of any woman you cared about, even to the point of giving his life? What would you choose?"
Xiao Zheng was slightly startled, then shook his head and said, "Donnie is not as supercilious as you think."
"There are no absolutes in this world." Gandolf said seriously. "Five years ago, ten years ago. Could you have imagined that Ye Shiguan, who once had a deep relationship with you, would take advantage of you, betray you, or even hurt your brother?"
Xiao Zheng was stunned for a moment, feeling that although Gandolf's words were not profound, they explained many of the helplessness in this world.
yes.
There are so many things that we thought would never happen, but in the end they happened naturally. And gave us an unprepared attack.
As the head of the Moore family, Donnie's biological mother and guide, Gandolf has such worries. It can only be said that he understands the principle of taking precautions better than ordinary people.
Although this attitude was slightly harsh, it hurt Xiao Zheng's feelings on some level. But he was speechless and unable to argue.
"Azheng." Gandolf stared at Xiao Zheng calmly and said every word. "If I say that one day in the future, you and Miss Sophia will turn against each other, you may be dismissive at the moment, but if it really happens. What should you do? Of course, this assumption is just a hypothesis after all, and it is more likely to happen than not. It happens much less.”
"But Donny is my son, and he is the future of the Moore family. I hope you can understand the painstaking efforts I put into being a father." Gandolf said implicitly. It's very realistic, very cruel, and even a bit unfounded in the eyes of others. But isn’t there a thin line between madness and genius? Don’t many decisions that are considered wrong by most people ultimately have an incalculable impact? Even Xiao Zheng's father-in-law, Lin Chaotian, became famous in one fell swoop because he made a decision that no one agreed with or even criticized.
Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. But he cares about details more than anyone else. Care about issues that normal people ignore.
What's more, in Gandolf's eyes, Xiao Zheng is definitely the biggest miracle and change in the past twenty years.
"I can assure you." Xiao Zheng took a puff of his e-cigarette and said slowly. "As long as he doesn't do anything that is outrageous to both humans and gods, he will still be my disciple."
"As long as he is still my disciple, I will not sit idly by if anyone tries to harm him no matter how far away the world is."
Xiao Zheng smiled, his eyes burning: "To tell you the truth, although Downey is probably my only apprentice. But I like him very much, and I am proud to have such an apprentice."
"master-"
Suddenly, Donnie's excited and trembling voice came from behind. Before Xiao Zheng could turn around, Tangny, who had entered the villa at some unknown time, came to him. His eyes were red and he squatted next to Xiao Zheng with a complicated expression: "Being your apprentice is what I am most proud of in my life. one thing."
Xiao Zheng glanced at Downey meaningfully, curled his lips and said, "Even if you think so in your heart, in front of your father, you should say that being his son is the most proud thing in your life."
"Hahaha." Gandolf laughed and said. "He doesn't think there's anything to be proud of being my son."
Donnie looked back at Gandolf and said dissatisfied: "Old man, I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming. When you came, you maliciously provoked a relationship between me and the master. It's not strange to be a father to you. Grandpa hated you the most as a son."
Gandolf coughed dryly and cursed: "You brat. Save some face for your father in front of outsiders."
Donnie rolled his eyes: "Face is earned by oneself. Which father's face is given by his son?"
Gandolf seemed to have nothing to do with Downey, or perhaps in his eyes, Downey's performance was good enough and there was nothing worthy of criticism. After a few words of bickering with his precious son, he stood up with a smile and said, "You young people, let's talk. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Uncle, can you stay and have dinner before leaving?" Xiao Zheng said politely.
Gandolf smiled and declined politely. Xiao Zhengze followed closely and personally saw Gandolf out.
"Azheng. At any time, if you feel that there is no way forward, come to New York. If the sky falls, I will help you hold it up." Gandolf said earnestly.
Xiao Zheng nodded gratefully, looked at Gandolf with a complicated look, and asked: "Uncle, does every father regard himself as a mountain? His son's mountain?"
Gandolf was startled for a moment, then laughed: "I like this metaphor."
