In front of the dim window, stood a thin shadow, all in black, like a revived mummy, standing there motionless.
Lin Wanrong's hair was standing on end, his eyes were wide open, and he was only one step away from screaming. Even though he boasted of his courage, he was so frightened that he held his breath when facing the scene in front of him.
"What, who—" Lin Wanrong's voice trembled slightly, his whole body was chilly, and he was sweating all over, and he hurriedly shouted to embolden himself.
The black shadow like a mummy moved slightly, and a hoarse voice came: "Are you awake?"
It turns out that you can talk. When the mummy spoke, Lin Wanrong felt relieved. As long as you are human, I have nothing to fear. Even in the darkness, the man's true face could not be seen clearly, but the voice sounded somewhat familiar. Lin Wanrong hesitated for a moment and said, "You, who are you?"
Heiying smiled hoarsely and said, "Why, after a few days away, you don't even know me?"
He walked a few steps in front of the house, and the bright moonlight outside the window was reflected on his face through the screen window. The first thing that fell into Lin Wanrong's eyes was the empty eye sockets.
"Wei, Uncle Wei?" Lin Wanrong asked in surprise, almost unable to believe his eyes.
Old Wei smiled and said, "At least you still have some memory, and you haven't forgotten me."
How could this Uncle Wei learn how to be elusive and walk without making a sound? Lin Wanrong wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. The last time he was frightened like this was when he met Qingxuan, but that time he was shocked after being frightened. This time, apart from being frightened or frightened, there is really no comparison between people.
"Uncle Wei, what you are playing is really frightening. If you were a timid one, you might have fainted from you." Lin Wanrong let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile. Old Wei was his savior and also His first family member here is naturally very kind when they meet.
Old man Wei laughed a few times: "Wan Rong, you are not so courageous, are you? I have seen you do things with courage."
"Where, where, I am naturally timid. Uncle Wei, where have you been these days, and when did you return to Jinling?" Lin Wanrong got up from the bed and asked Uncle Wei to sit down.
The moonlight shone faintly on Lao Wei's face, his wrinkled cheeks were pale and frightening, and his empty eyes made people feel frightened, but Lin Wanrong felt very kind.
"I just arrived in Jinling tonight. I remembered that you were working in Xiao's house, so I wanted to come and see you. Light up the lamp. It's dark without candles. Be careful that my face will frighten you." Old Wei laughed.
The old man finally had some conscience, Lin Wanrong laughed: "It doesn't matter whether the lamp is on or not, I just talk to uncle like this, and I feel happy."
Old man Wei lived in the dark all year round, and he was used to the darkness. Hearing Lin Wanrong's words, he was moved. Although this young man was a little slippery, he was very straightforward in his dealings with others. He sighed and said: "I just passed by Jinling this time, to see you and then I have to leave."
Lin Wanrong was taken aback: "Uncle just came back, why did he leave again? Uncle, don't worry, I have earned some money now, it is no problem to provide for your retirement with peace of mind, you don't have to worry about me."
Old man Wei laughed heartily, he held Lin Wanrong and said, "Wanrong, I have no children and no daughters all my life, but I met you in my old age, this is also fate."
Old Wei has a weird personality, and Lin Wanrong has known it since getting along with him. Hearing what he said, Lin Wanrong also sighed: "Uncle Wei, although I am thick-skinned and hot-tempered, but for the word 'enyi' You are my savior, and you treat me like a nephew. If I don’t repay you, am I still a human being? Uncle, don’t worry, I’ve already earned a lot of money. Mrs. Fang, have more sons, and when the time comes, choose one to be your grandson, and follow your surname Wei, do you think it would be good?"
According to Lin Wanrong's thinking, old man Wei had the grace of saving his life, and it was only natural to repay him. He had several wives, and he could have a bunch of sons. It was nothing to adopt a surname of Wei.
Old Wei has a special status and has been lonely for many years. He has long been used to all kinds of things in the world. In the early years, he was flattered and flattered. It is just that Lin Wanrong is different. Without knowing his identity, he still treats him so kindly. It is really shocking. He moved. He smacked his lips a few times, and finally laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, Wan Rong, I'm sure I saw you right. You have moral character, common sense, and strategies. You really are a good seedling."
Seeing his strange speech, Lin Wanrong couldn't help laughing and said, "Uncle Wei, don't praise me anymore, these are the shortcomings I hate the most."
Old Wei gave a thumbs up and said, "I forgot one thing, you are very cheeky, ha ha."
The old and the young laughed heartily, and Lin Wanrong seemed to have returned to the carefree situation when he first came to this world and chatted with Old Man Wei every day. It's just that the world has changed a lot now, and he has gradually changed himself, and slowly integrated into this world, why doesn't it make him feel emotional.
Uncle Wei said: "Wan Rong, I have heard about your work in the Xiao family. You thwarted other people's schemes, helped the Xiao family come back to life, and made friends with Xu Wei. Very good, you are a hundred times smarter than I imagined." A thousand times."
Lin Wanrong said embarrassingly: "Uncle, these are just other people's bragging. I'm not that good. I'm at most ten times smarter than you think."
Old Wei felt very cordial when he heard him joking with himself, he laughed and said: "No matter who is bragging, no matter how smart you are, in short, everyone knows that you have done a good job in the Xiao family, even that The master has also paid attention to you for a long time."
"Master, what master?" Lin Wanrong wondered.
Old Wei gave him a meaningful look and said, "Master, I told you that."
Lin Wanrong suddenly realized that he was going to be the son of some big family. Now that Lao Tzu is in the Xiao family, he is also a big family. I don't care about such a master.
Old man Wei seemed to see through his thoughts, and sighed slightly: "Wan Rong, everyone has no way to choose their own destiny. You are in the middle of something now, and it is impossible to get out. You know why I asked you to come The Xiao family?"
"I don't know." Lin Wanrong shook his head honestly.
Old Wei glanced at him with a smile: "This Xiao family is not an ordinary place, and it has an extraordinary meaning to that master. Have you seen Mrs. Xiao?"
Nonsense, I am now a member of the Xiao family board of directors, have I never met Mrs. Xiao? But what you said is the opposite. With my status today, it should be Mrs. Xiao who came to see me, hehe.
Seeing Lin Wanrong nodding, Old Wei continued: "Seeing Mrs. Xiao's current appearance, you should know how beautiful she was when she was young, right?"
How did Mrs. Xiao get involved? Could it be that there is some gossip between the master and Mrs. Xiao? Mrs. Xiao looked at Gao Jie and elegant, so she was also a romantic person back then? Damn, old Wei, you are a gossip, isn't this slandering Madam's beautiful image in my heart
Old Wei naturally didn't know what was going on in his mind, and sighed: "Back then in Beijing, Ms. Guo was sixteen years old, but she was as beautiful as a flower like a jade, and she was proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she was one of the best in Beijing. Both talented and beautiful, I don't know how many young men and talents have attracted them. When the master saw Miss Guo, he was astonished as a heavenly man. Although he is much older than Miss Guo, he still has nostalgia for it."
Speaking of the past, a look of nostalgia flashed across Old Wei's face, and Lin Wanrong suddenly thought of the eldest lady when he heard his wife's gossip. This girl Xiao Yuruo also inherited 70% to 80% of her mother's mantle. After a few years, will someone arrange her gossip like this
"This master is a person who does great things. Under the advice of his counselors, he had to let go of his thoughts and deal with big things with all his strength. The situation in Beijing was chaotic that day. After this delay, Mrs. Guo sent Miss Guo It was promised to Mr. Xiaoge's son, who got married on the same day and left the capital the next day. After the master learned the news, Miss Guo has followed her husband and is far away in the south of the Yangtze River."
Old Wei said hoarsely: "This master really likes Ms. Guo. Seeing her married, it is naturally painful, and Ms. Guo has naturally become a concern in his heart. So I said, you help the Xiao family do good things , is of great benefit to you."
Khan, I don't have that kind of thought at all, what benefits do I want. Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "So Miss Guo has moved on? That master is still infatuated."
Old Wei shook his head and said, "It's not a matter of empathy, because the master and Miss Guo were friends of poetry at that time. There was a huge age difference between the two, and Miss Guo had never thought about it. Speaking of it, it is the master Unrequited love for Ms. Guo, he wants to wait until everything is settled before coming to propose marriage. How could he have missed the opportunity like this."
After talking for a long time, it turned out to be unrequited love, Lin Wanrong thought disdainfully, I also had a crush on Li Jiaxin, hehe.
"Well, Uncle Wei, what on earth do you do? How do you know so many inside stories?" Lin Wanrong asked directly.
"If you have a chance, you will know." Old Wei said with a smile: "Right now, you just have to keep in mind one thing, the more you help the Xiao family, the better it will be for you in the future."
You don't need to say this, Yushuang is my wife now, so I have to help if I don't help.
"Wan Rong, how is your friendship with Xu Wei?" Old Wei suddenly asked.
"Oh, it's not bad." More than good, his little wife is still a big matchmaker made by me.
Uncle Wei nodded and said: "Being good friends with Xu Wei is also a great help to you. When you come to the capital in the future, these will be useful." Seeing Lin Wanrong nodding, he said again: "Do you remember what I said? ?”
Lin Wanrong smiled: "Of course I wrote it down, Uncle Wei, I've always done this."
Old Wei said meaningfully: "Okay, very good. Wanrong, you must take a long-term view, and remember that your opponent is not here, but in the capital."
opponent? Beijing? What's the meaning? Lin Wanrong was suspicious, but Old Wei stood up and said with a smile: "I came to see you today, and I have explained these things almost, and the rest is up to you, so I'm leaving now."
He patted Lin Wanrong on the shoulder, walked out quickly, jumped out of the house in a blink of an eye, jumped up the high wall, and disappeared into the moonlight.
