When Douzha woke up in the morning, she was in a daze. Before she even opened her eyes, she was groping with her little paws on the bed. She was mumbling about orange hugs. After touching her for a few times, not only was there no familiar embrace, there wasn't even any familiar hug from Cheng Zi under the tip of her nose. smell.
Douzha opened her eyes and looked around drowsily, only to realize that she was not at home. There was no Chengzi in her hometown, and Chengzi was not with Douzha.
Douzha lay on the bed and twisted unhappily, her little hands still holding Wang Yincheng's clothes. After a night, the clothes were pressed into pleats and became a mess.
Dou Sha quickly stood up and knelt on the bed to straighten out her clothes. She used her little hands to smooth out the tangled pleats. She pouted her mouth and looked unhappy.
Jin Yan pushed the door open and came in. When she saw Dou Sha kneeling on the bed with her back to her and her head buried in her head, her little body motionless, Jin Yan shouted: "Is our good baby Dou Sha getting up?"
Douzha turned around and shouted obediently: "Good morning, grandma!"
Jin Yan came over with a smile on her face, her eyes full of doting, and sat on the edge of the bed, half-hugging the red bean paste buns and giving her a big kiss, "Dou Sha, get up and brush your teeth. Grandma will take you downstairs for breakfast."
Douzha nodded, looked at Jin Yan, and said seriously: "Then I will fold Cheng Zi's clothes first."
Jin Yan looked down and saw a pair of men's pajamas spread flat on the bed. The style was extremely simple. Jin Yan touched Dou Sha's head and said nothing more, her black eyes darkened.
She went to bed yesterday with bean paste buns. Liu Pingnian stayed up all night in the study. He is over 50 years old. He finally quit smoking half a year ago and smoked all night last night. Jin Yan was so frightened when she heard what the nanny said in the morning that she hurried to the study. Liu Pingnian was walking out of the study. Sure enough, he was smelling of cigarette smoke. His clothes were still the same ones he wore yesterday, and his face was yellowish and there were tears under his eyes. Black and blue.
Jin Yan was heartbroken. Knowing that this time Liu Heng had made a decision that was difficult for his father to accept, and thinking of the "orange numbing" bean paste, Jin Yan knew more or less what was going on.
Jin Yan didn't ask anything, and calmly asked Liu Pingnian to take a shower, change clothes, have breakfast, and rest before going to the company.
Liu Pingnian had nowhere to vent his anger last night. Now when he saw his wife, his anger turned into lamentation and said: "Liu Heng is really confused this time!"
Dou Sha knelt on the bed, smoothing out the clothes and folding them on the pillow bit by bit. When she got out of bed and followed Jin Yan to wash up, she was still worried. She turned to look at the pillow and said very seriously: "Grandma, you can talk to the nanny." Did Auntie say not to touch Chengzi’s clothes?”
Jin Yan said: "Okay, grandma and the nanny can't agree, the pajamas are made of red bean paste!"
Dou Sha nodded extremely seriously.
Jin Yan took Dou Sha to wash up and change clothes, and held Dou Sha's little hand downstairs. At a glance, she saw Liu Heng sitting alone on the sofa reading the newspaper. Jin Yan looked carefully and saw that Liu Heng was still the same, his expression was always so cold and expressionless when his aura was closed, and when he opened his aura, his whole body was like a sharpened blade. The posture of reading the newspaper with downcast eyes has remained unchanged for many years. Sitting there alone creates a unique scene.
"Dad!" Douzha followed Jin Yan to the living room downstairs. When he saw Liu Heng, he let go of Jin Yan's hand and ran over.
Liu Heng put down the newspaper and watched Douzha running over, reaching out and touching his son's head.
Douzha looked at Liu Heng expectantly, her eyes sparkling, and she wagged her tail and whispered, "I didn't call Chengzi yesterday."
Liu Heng silently took out his mobile phone and checked the time, and said to Dou Sha, "I guess he's not awake yet."
Douzha pouted and continued to wag her tail: "Then call Chengzi later."
Liu Heng nodded and did not put the phone away. Instead, he handed the phone to Dou Sha. Dou Sha happily took it and held it in the palm of his hand.
Jin Yan came over, looked at Dou Sha and then at Liu Heng. Seeing that there were only the three of them in the hall and no one else, she said: "No matter what the matter is, the third family member has brought the matter to the old man this time. You You have to be alert.”
Liu Heng nodded silently, with a hard face, "Understood."
Jin Yan stopped talking and said no more. She only had two sons, Liu Yi and Liu Heng. In comparison, he had always been more at ease with his younger son, and Liu Heng had always been steady and steady in doing things.
As for that Hu Youyou, Jin Yan felt that she had to use some means. Back then, the second brother's family was dishonest, but now the third child's family has started to act up again. She really thinks that she has softened her heart as she gets older. So easy to bully? !
Liu Pingnian didn't come down to eat breakfast, and the old man couldn't get out of bed. Almost everyone else in the Liu family liked to jump around. Those who got up late would not come down, and those who went out would not return early. Only Jin Yan and Liu Heng were in the hall. Eat with bean paste.
Jin Yan sat at the dining table and watched Liu Heng and Dou Sha eat. They were indeed father and son. They looked so similar when eating. They both ate with their heads down and eyes down without saying a word. They didn't like sweet things. There was a glass of orange juice next to the plate. How many times did they eat? Take a sip of orange juice.
Liu Heng's mobile phone is also placed on the right side of Douzha. Every time Douzha takes a bite, he must look at the phone very carefully. After reading it, he will take another bite. He is neither noisy nor fussy, and is very well-behaved.
Jin Yan watched from the side and her heart pounded, and Dou Sha shouted "Mom". In fact, after all these years, the child still really wants a mother, right? !
Jin Yan couldn't help but think of Dou Sha when she was a child. She didn't like to make noises or cry, and she didn't like to play with other children. She had a very lonely personality and would sit alone in the corner playing with toys without saying a word. Dou Sha was not the only child in the family. Seeing the other brothers and sisters in the family being pampered and held by their mother, Dou Sha never looked at them or even asked.
Jin Yan felt very sorry for Dou Sha at that time. One time, one of Dou Sha's brothers came over to show off the toy her mother bought to Dou Sha. Dou Sha silently glanced at the toy in his brother's hand, then lowered his eyes and said nothing and ignored others. The child's mother actually came over and scolded Dou Sha for being ignorant. Ignore people.
Jin Yan clearly remembered that it was New Year's Day, and all the relatives at home gathered together to celebrate the festival. Liu Heng was talking to the old man and did not notice the child. Jin Yan immediately became angry when she saw it. She gave the bean paste to the nanny and looked at it. The child's mother took him out and gave him a lecture and a scolding.
Jin Yan was getting older at the time, and she had always looked dignified and graceful in the eyes of the younger generation. But that time she was so angry that she felt so angry and distressed that her eyes turned red while she was cursing. She had been feeling sorry for the bean paste since she was a child. There is no mother who feels pain. Others have red bean paste but not so much. But what’s wrong with the child
When Liu Heng found out at that time, he took Dou Sha away overnight. He never attended the subsequent New Year's Day family gatherings. Even on such an important festival as the Spring Festival, he no longer participated in the Liu family's fun. He only took the child back and spent time with his grandparents and uncles. Celebrating a festival together, other relatives ignored them.
Jin Yan sat at the dining table and thought about it, her eyes couldn't help but turn red again, and she sighed in her heart.
Liu Heng took a risky move when he came out, but he succeeded anyway. Women are actually more accepting than men in many cases. The old man and Liu Pingnian actually still can't accept it, but Jin Yan accepted it, and even She feels that as long as Liu Heng's future partner is a good man and calls her mom, she can accept it even if the Liu family doesn't accept it.
As long as Liu Heng's other half likes Dou Sha very much, Jin Yan thinks it won't be a big problem.
After finishing the bean paste, he got off the table. Liu Heng helped him dial the number and called Wang Yincheng.
When the call was connected, Douzha was very excited and jumped twice. She looked very lively. "Orange, Orange, are you awake?"
Wang Yincheng waited for this call almost all night. He didn't sleep well at night. He lay on Douzha's small bed and tossed and turned. His cell phone was placed on the bedside, with the ringtone set to the loudest and vibrate turned on. When he got up in the morning, he turned on the phone. Cell phone in pocket.
Wang Yincheng said: "Are you awake, Douzha? Did you sleep well last night? Have you had breakfast?"
Douzha held the phone with both hands and nodded: "I've eaten! I slept very well. I secretly brought Chengzi's pajamas out yesterday and slept with them together." After a pause, he pouted, He said aggrievedly: "Chengzi is not here, so I can only sleep with my pajamas in my arms."
Wang Yincheng felt like laughing but felt uncomfortable at the same time, and said, "Dou Sha is good, you can see Cheng Zi when you come back."
Dou Sha expressed his gratitude and immediately looked up at Liu Heng at the dining table: "Dad, when are we going back!?"
Just at this time, I heard a sneer, and Hu Youyou walked down from upstairs. He laughed and said, "Dou Sha has only been back for a day and he is leaving?"
Dou Sha held the phone and turned to look at Hu Youyou, his eyebrows and eyes full of doubts. He had no impression of Hu Youyou. He had met him when he was a child, but he was too young to remember. Liu Heng stood up indifferently, without even looking at Hu Youyou, picked up Douzha and walked out of the garden.
Douzha looked up at Liu Heng in confusion: "Dad?"
Jin Yan put down the tableware and stood up, calling her most trusted nanny: "An Ning?!... Take the young master to the garden to eat!"
Liu Heng handed the child to Aning, touched the child's head, and turned back to the hall.
Wang Yincheng didn't know what was happening here, he only heard the voices of two strange women.
Aning looked at the child, while Dousha held the phone and walked slowly along the path in the garden, "Chengzichengzi, dad didn't answer me, and I don't know when I can go back."
Wang Yincheng coaxed the child: "Then I won't come back in a few days."
Douzha pouted, kicked the pebbles under her feet, and muttered: "But Douzha misses oranges? What should I do if I miss oranges?"
Wang Yincheng said: "Then Douzha just call Chengzi, and Chengzi will talk to you."
Douzha was still pouting and angry. He was not just thinking about oranges, he had other things to do and things he wanted to do very much! But Cheng Zi is not here. What should he do if Cheng Zi is not here? !
Douzha held her breath, her face turned red. Aning looked anxiously on the side, bent over Douzha, inhaled and exhaled deeply to demonstrate to the child.
Du Sha finally let out a breath, bit her lip awkwardly, shook her arm, and said, "But it's Du Sha's birthday in a few days, and Dou Sha wants to celebrate his birthday with Cheng Zi! Dou Sha has never even celebrated his birthday with Cheng Zi!"
Wang Yincheng was stunned for a moment, and the hand holding the phone trembled. Every word Douzha said hit his heart. Having been with his children for so long, Wang Yincheng has lived an extremely fulfilling life every day and is full of expectations for every day. Bean paste is the treasure in his heart. It has never let him down and has always made him live with more and more expectations. .
The child's desire to celebrate his birthday with him is as strong as his desire to celebrate his birthday with Bean Sha.
Douzha kept holding her mobile phone and talking to his big orange. The left sentence said, when did he arrive yesterday afternoon and who did he meet? He used orange-flavored shower gel at night and wore bear pajamas to sleep. Grandma slept with him. Dad was reading the newspaper in the restaurant in the morning, but grandpa didn't come. Grandma ate with them. A strange strange aunt just appeared, etc. Children's attention is always easily distracted when talking, and there is no theme. They just say something here and there, just thinking. Listen to the sound of oranges and feel the presence of oranges.
Liu Heng turned around and returned to the living room.
Hu Youyou was also sitting at the dining table eating. Jin Yan didn't look like she was a serious person who came to eat, making it clear that she was making trouble for everyone.
Hu Youyou smiled lightly, and his tone of voice was not mean at all, but every word he said touched the heart: "I heard that eldest brother stayed in the study all night last night. Liu Heng, you are too old to let your family worry about you." . The old man was very angry this time. If it weren’t for the cute bean paste sales, his blood pressure might not be able to go down today. Your eldest brother has now taken over Huarong, and your second uncle and third uncle are away from home all year round. The Liu family's business is booming, so you have to help. Even if you don't help, you can't cause trouble... "
Liu Heng sat at the dining table without saying a word, with a strong figure and a calm and cold expression. No matter what Hu Youyou said, he sat quietly without saying a word.
It's like a fist smashed into cotton. It doesn't matter if it can't pop out, it just gets stuck in.
Jin Yan didn't say a word. After eating, she put down the cutlery and cutlery in her hand, wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue, glanced at Liu Heng, and suddenly felt very funny.
I'm afraid Liu Heng's ears automatically entered the blocking stage as soon as Hu Youyou started talking, right? Hu Youyou talked so much that Liu Heng might not have heard even a single word. This woman is hopelessly stupid!
Jin Yan suddenly said: "My brothers and sisters are right, especially for Huarong International matters, the CEO doesn't have to do anything, but the equity can't be left alone?!"
Hu Youyou was stunned for a moment and fell silent. The big pie of Huarong International had long been eaten by the boss. Even if Liu Heng dismounted, Liu Yi would still have no pressure at all to take over.
Hu Youyou took a deep breath silently.
Liu Heng decided to take Douzha back. Although the old man was reluctant to let go of his child, he also knew that Douzha would be in a senior class this year and would go to school in a few months. The old man didn't ask much about Liu Heng. He was a man with one foot in the coffin and understood that some things couldn't be forced and could only be allowed to develop naturally.
Liu Pingnian roughly told Jin Yan what Liu Heng said. Jin Yan was very calm. She had already guessed something before, but she didn't expect that the man would be the man who carried out the surrogacy at that time, and was Dou Sha's biological "mother".
Liu Pingnian was very angry about his son's decision this time and kept glaring angrily. Jin Yan said: "Don't be angry, I'll go take a look." After a pause, she thought of the cute look of Dou Sha holding her pajamas and shouting "Orange", and then He said: "But to be honest, you can't influence a person's past. If Liu Heng likes red bean paste, what's the point of objecting to it as a father and grandfather?"
Liu Pingnian said angrily: "Does that mean we need to give up our family's property?!"
Jin Yan smiled: "You have the nerve to talk about your son? Have you forgotten that when you were young, you still fell out with your family in order to marry me and said you wanted to elope with me? Your son is much more rational than you were back then. He knows that family is always family. , you should bring the person you like into your home instead of falling out with the family. If he doesn’t want anything now and takes his son and wife away, I think you will be really angry to death! "
Liu Pingnian was speechless.
Jin Yan did not hide her itinerary, Liu Heng did not express any opinions on it, and the three of them flew back together.
When getting off the plane, Liu Hengcai suddenly said to Jin Yan: "I didn't catch her."
"What?" Jin Yan was confused.
Liu Heng had a stern face and said a few more words expressionlessly: "We are not together yet."
Jin Yan was surprised, and her mind immediately realized what Liu Heng's "not catching up" and "not together yet" meant. In other words, Liu Heng likes her unilaterally, but the man actually just recognizes his precious son Dou Sha and doesn't take Liu Heng seriously at all
Ms. Jin Yan wore sunglasses and smiled impudently in the airport lobby.
Jin Yan did not go with Liu Heng when she got off the plane. She was not a mother who couldn't live without her son all day long, and she would not interfere too much in Liu Heng's life.
After she got off the plane, she turned around and called a good friend of hers in the city. The two hadn't seen each other for half a year. The other party heard that Jin Yan's flight had just arrived in the afternoon, and she was very happy.
But Jin Yan didn’t notify the person until she got off the plane. It was already too late to send a car to pick her up. Jin Yan simply took a taxi there. Cao Mingyue on the other end smiled and said, "I happen to be at the newspaper office. Come here and call me when you get there." Telephone."
"good!"
Jin Yan turned around and headed to the newspaper office. The newspaper office just got off work at this time. Many staff members came out of it. There were people coming and going at the door, and the traffic flow was very lively.
Jin Yan walked into the lobby downstairs of the newspaper building. She was not in a hurry to go up. She stood in front of the glass display window in the exhibition hall downstairs for a while, looking at some of the big news reported by the newspaper in recent years. In the interviews in the character column, she actually saw His son's name.
Jin Yan suddenly saw the photo of Liu Heng's stern face through the window glass, and laughed out loud. She finished reading the interview with a smile, and nodded to herself, feeling quite satisfied. The structure was clear and unconventional, and she didn't dig too deep. But it also leaves people with room to think.
Jin Yan turned around and walked to the elevator to wait. There were far fewer people at this time. When the elevator came down, only a few people came out. Wang Yincheng walked last, wearing a white shirt and khaki pants and walked out, and met Jin Yan face to face.
Jin Yan was about to walk into the elevator when she suddenly saw Wang Yincheng's face. She was startled and her legs froze immediately when she stepped out.
Wang Yincheng walked to the end and glanced at Jin Yan lightly. He saw the strange woman's inexplicable flash of light, but the elevator behind him was about to close. Wang Yincheng subconsciously raised his hand and pressed the elevator button. The elevator door opened. Jin Yan came back to her senses, looked at Wang Yincheng and said, "Thank you."
Wang Yincheng nodded: "You're welcome." After saying that, he picked up his bag and left.
Jin Yan walked into the elevator and kept looking in the direction of Wang Yincheng, with disbelief on her face. How could it be so similar? Is there anything like this in the world? Those noses and eyes are just two models, one big and one small!
Jin Yan still had the face she just saw in her mind, and the elevator had stopped at the top floor.
Cao Mingyue came forward and the two hugged tightly. Jin Yan put aside the matter about the young man just now, and the two sisters leaned together and spoke thoughtful words.
The two of them were talking, and somehow the news about the newspaper came up. Cao Mingyue knew that Jin Yan's son was Liu Heng, and couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, you don't know, that news scared me to death when it came out. Got it!"
Jin Yan had heard about that incident, but didn't know too many details. Cao Mingyue said: "It was originally an interview with a character published by our newspaper. It received a good response at the time, but in the end it became a brick to attract "Jade". My blood pressure went up at that time!”
Jin Yan was more open-minded than Cao Mingyue, and hurriedly consoled her: "Forget it, forget it, it's all in the past, don't worry about it anymore, you should have retired a long time ago, and you are still messing around like this!"
Cao Mingyue: "Originally, I should have retired, but this year a person came into the newspaper office, and I value it very much. You don't know how difficult it is to train individuals now, so I have to keep an eye on it! The talent flow in the media industry is so fast that I even put people aside." Watch out!"
"Who?" Jin Yan smiled, "Can you appreciate me so much?"
Cao Mingyue clapped her hands: "My name is Wang Yincheng, he is the one who did Liu Heng's interview!" After saying that, he took out a folder from the bookshelf, handed over his resume, and said: "He is a very famous financial commentator now. , I couldn’t get him even with money, but he was hired by the editor-in-chief of our newspaper because he has a close relationship with him!”
Jin Yan came over to take a look and was stunned. In the upper left corner of the resume was Wang Yincheng's ID photo. It was the young man he had just met at the elevator door.
Cao Mingyue was excited when she mentioned Wang Yin's success in front of her best friends. The key to being good-looking and capable of doing things is that he is not arrogant and steady. She couldn't help but praise: "I really like this kid. He has his own style of doing things and has a strong working ability. Originally, I was also worried that he would not adapt to the office culture after working as a freelancer for a long time, but it turned out that he was in charge of a department without any problems! These days, there are not many young people who are good-looking and stable. Your Liu Heng is one of them, and Wang Yincheng is one of them. Well, it counts as one! I have to keep all the talents and take good care of them, they will definitely be of great use in the future!"
Jin Yan curled her lips, and a smile spread in her eyes.
Jin Yan had dinner with Cao Mingyue in the evening. When Cao Mingyue went to the bathroom, Jin Yan made a very brief call to Liu Heng.
"What's the name of Douzha's mother?"
"Wang Yincheng."
"Okay. I'll take a flight back in the evening. You have to take care of the bean paste." After a pause, "You have to use your brain to be more romantic about chasing your wife and don't act like a fool! If it doesn't work, don't you still have bean paste?! "
Liu Heng: "..."
True to her word, Jin Yan flew home that night and returned to the Liu family's house at five o'clock the next morning.
Liu Pingnian got up early. When he came downstairs, he was startled when he saw Jin Yan having breakfast at the dining table. He said in surprise: "Why are you back? Where is the bean paste? Where is Liu Heng?"
Jin Yan wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue and smiled meaningfully: "Your son went back to chase his wife, Douzha went back to hug his Cheng Zi's thigh, and we..." Jin Yan narrowed her eyes and remained calm - of course she had to. Sit in charge at home to prevent some bad-hearted guys from doing anything bad and affecting his son's pursuit of his wife.
