"You kid, you don't call out brother when you see someone."
In the private room of Dingxiangyuan, a fashionable middle-aged woman pushed the young girl beside her who was just playing with her mobile phone with her head down. She said the words of resentment, but there was no real dissatisfaction in her expression.
"Ah Chu, Zizi is spoiled by Aunt Hong, don't take it to heart, she misses you the most on weekdays, that is, she had some disputes with Auntie before she came here, and now she is still sulking .”
Gao Hong smiled gently, paying attention to her husband's expression from the corner of her eye, and said to her stepson.
"elder brother."
Yan Zi was poked hard by her mother in a place where no one else could see, and she finally spoke reluctantly.
Is this man in front of her worthy of being her brother? She is also grandson and granddaughter of grandpa. If she had been born early, she would have had a share in grandpa's two old houses. Unlike now, Yan Chu took advantage of it all.
Fortunately, he is still a man, he doesn't know that he earns money to buy a house, and he is arguing with her sister, it's shameless.
Yan Zi heard from her mother that the old house left by her grandfather is finally going to be demolished, and the compensation work has already started. According to the area of her grandfather's old house, at least two hundred square meters can be relocated. House, replaced by an ordinary three-bedroom house, that is, two houses, not counting the compensation, at least two to three million.
Yan Chu already has a large flat in the city center. If he wants to show some face, he should give her the old house that is going to be demolished. But after so many days, there is no sound from the other party. To be Grandet is to hold on to Grandpa's inheritance.
Yan Zi was angry in her heart. Her father always said that the house that the family lives in now is left to her, but it hasn't been given to her yet. When the second elder kicks her legs, she will be a grandma, so she still cares Such a house
Besides, this house should have belonged to her. As the house bought during the marriage between her father and her mother, legally her mother would own half of it. If her father died, her mother would own a quarter of it. Three, the remaining quarter is shared between her and Yan Chu. In this way, the other party's share is almost close to zero, that is, nothing.
That being the case, how could the house that should belong to her be for her
Yan Zi had heard from her mother how annoying this half-brother was since she was a child. The existence of the other party not only divided up her original complete father's love, but also divided up the family investment that should belong to her alone. In order to please my father, I still don't know where to be ignored.
This is patriarchal, this is not fair!
Yan Zi lowered her head, thinking angrily.
But the original purpose of her coming back this time was actually for her boyfriend.
This is her boyfriend she dated in high school, because Father Yan was very willing to spend money on her daughter's education, since she was a child she went to an international school with a lot of rich people, otherwise, with Father Yan's qualifications and income, There is absolutely no way that there is only one suite in the house that I live in now.
Yan Zi's boyfriend is a boy who is relatively rich in school but not very good at studying.
The other party went to the university in China, and immediately joined the company at home after graduation, and did not go abroad for further studies. Not long ago, Yan Zi heard from her best friend that this boyfriend seemed to have other tricks, and was worried about losing this wealthy son-in-law, so she ran away in a hurry Returning home.
The conditions of her family sound pretty good. Grandparents used to be doctors, and her father and half-brother were also doctors, and she was studying abroad. At first glance, it seems that the family has a high cultural literacy. It may not be particularly rich, but It is definitely one of the types of daughter-in-law that parents like to choose for their children.
Yan Zi has always been proud of this, but after returning from this trip, she learned from her boyfriend that his mother was not satisfied with her family background.
It's not that she is dissatisfied with her family background, but in fact, she is dissatisfied with her family resources. She thinks that she has an older brother, and that she only has one house, which has not been registered in her name. Son, when she marries in the future, she will poach her husband's family and stick to her mother's family.
Being able to say such words, even if it is a wealthy family, it is conceivable that the background is mediocre, but Yan Zi is crazy and wants to become the young mistress of a rich family. I want to live a comfortable life of buying, buying, and drinking afternoon tea with friends of the same class.
So after listening to her boyfriend's perfunctory words, she believed them to be true and pointed the finger at Yan Chu.
As long as the other party gave her the old house that was demolished, and got two sets of real estate in Beijing, plus a few million cash, at least it would prove that she was not worthless.
This idea hits off with Gao Hong, but she is not as greedy as her daughter, she wants a house and half of the compensation, with these, she doesn't need to worry too much about her daughter's future.
This Hongmen banquet, apart from Yan Fu, didn't understand anything. The other three people already knew it well.
"Your sister also has intentions. She sneaked back this time to celebrate my birthday. I'm already old. I didn't pay much attention to this day in the past, but your sister still remembers it."
Father Yan was very happy. What kind of father could be unhappy if his children cared about him like that.
"Zizi has a heart."
Yan Chu smiled, then turned his head and looked at Yan's father: "Dad, I also want to discuss with you about grandpa's old house on this trip. I will sign the demolition agreement soon, and I will move back to the house when the time comes." How to divide it with the compensation, please come up with a plan."
He said calmly, and he didn't miss the eagerness and greed that flashed in the eyes of Yan Zi and Gao Hong after he said these words.
"Demolition?" Father Yan spent more time in the hospital on weekdays, so he really hadn't heard of the demolition of the old house.
"Well, the news came out a week ago." Yan Chu nodded.
A week ago, that was the day when Yan Zi hurried back from abroad.
Father Yan was silent. He said that when his daughter was here before, she didn't necessarily remember his birthday. When she went abroad, she remembered it so clearly. Thinking of these days, Gao Hong made insinuations about the crowded house at home, and talked about her daughter's birthday. If you always have a private space of your own after returning from studying abroad, there is still something you don’t understand.
It was all caused by money and housing. Father Yan, who wholeheartedly hoped that everyone in the family could get along harmoniously, couldn't help feeling a little tired.
"The suite was given to you by your grandfather before he died, and it has already passed under your name. No matter how much you share, it is still yours."
If the daughter said openly that she didn't want to live with her parents and wanted to have a house of her own, based on his love for her daughter, he might be cheeky and ask his son to allocate a room of sixty or seventy square meters when he wanted to move back to the house. His small house was given to his daughter, it was his father's eccentricity, even if his son complained about it, he would admit it.
But now that the mother and father are beating around the bush and doing such nonsense, it makes Father Yan feel unmotivated.
In fact, those things were originally distributed to his son. He had already divided them when he divorced his ex-wife. With others, he opened his mouth to repent first, and the troubled ex-wife also started to stop. Killed in the cradle.
"husband."
Gao Hong couldn't help tugging at the hem of Yan Lin's clothes.
What Yan Chu said just now meant that he should be the person in charge to divide up the old house. Obviously, he could get some benefits for his daughter, so why wouldn't the husband want to
Is it because he is patriarchal, loves his daughter on the surface, but actually attaches more importance to his son Yan Chu, or is he still obsessed with his ex-wife, and even carries his love for Wu and Wu to this son born to him by the other party
Gao Hong thought wildly dissatisfied.
"Dad, you are biased."
Yan Zi didn't have the same restraint as Gao Hong, so she couldn't sit still immediately, stood up awkwardly, pointed at Father Yan, and said with red eyes.
"They are all grandchildren of grandpa. Why don't I have a share of the demolition house?"
"Why, just because that house was given to your brother by your grandfather, and you were unlucky, not born before your grandfather died, just because those two old houses were worth two to three million at the beginning, and these years, One after another, I spent more money on you than this amount."
Yan Lin was annoyed by his daughter, slapped the table and yelled loudly.
"Besides, I paid for you to study and let you learn etiquette, justice, and shame. I didn't want you to point your finger at your father and my nose and scold me. Have you ever earned a penny for the family? Since you didn't, the things in the house, How I want to distribute it is not for you to intervene."
"husband."
Gao Hong panicked. It was the first time she had seen her husband scold her daughter like this. You must know that her husband had never said a single harsh word to her daughter before.
It's all about the family troublemaker, Gao Hong glared at Yan Chu, every time the other party appeared, nothing good would happen in the family.
"Why are you staring, I think this daughter was taught to be bad by you."
Yan Lin saw Gao Hong staring at his son, and he finally understood why after he remarried, his son would rather live in a boarding school than go home. At that time, he was still a son and needed his own private space, but now he realizes It is very possible that this seemingly virtuous and gentle wife gave his son a lot of anger when he didn't know it.
Thinking of this, Yan Lin's guilt towards his son deepened.
"Dad, I don't think it's suitable for me to be here now. The house matters are temporarily put on hold. Don't get angry and hurt your body."
Yan Chu picked up the briefcase, turned and left, and said to Father Yan when he reached the door of the box.
Father Yan knew that his son had always been relatively indifferent, and it was rare for him to express his concern for his father so emotionally.
"Be careful on the road." Yan Lin nodded. Now that things have happened, he has put away his hope that the two sons and daughters will be brothers and sisters. It is better to keep them far away, so as to dispel the greedy desires of his wife and little daughter. thought.
"Humph!"
After Yan Chu left, Yan Lin was obviously not in the mood to eat anymore, so he snorted angrily, and said a warning to his ugly wife and daughter: "Don't even think about the old house, if you really want to treat the old house Interested, let's calculate the money we spent on Zizi these years, and calculate the house we live in now, to be fair, we should give half of these things to Ah Chu."
"Being a man, the most important thing is to be content. Your school is not on holiday now. If you don't want to study, find a job quickly. The tuition fees for the next few years will be saved."
After finishing speaking, Yan Lin angrily followed Yan Chu and left.
"Mom, look at Dad."
How could Yan Zi stand such scolding, she stomped her feet angrily.
"Your dad seems to be really angry this time, Zizi, hurry up and buy the ticket for the nearest class and go back to school. Don't worry, mom will watch over it for you. You won't suffer any disadvantage."
Gao Hong is a little afraid of her husband who suddenly becomes strict. She has never worked since she got married, and the housework at home is also done by the nanny. Her task is to take care of her daughter and take her daughter to and from school. Drinking afternoon tea leisurely, and occasionally buying a bag and jewelry for a leisurely life, I didn't expect to be middle-aged, but broke my peaceful life.
Anyway, now I can't twirl the tiger's beard when he is angry, I still have to wait until my daughter comes back from studying and my husband forgets about today's incident, and I will draw it slowly.
"I don't want to go back."
Yan Zi was expecting Ai Ai, she went back, what about her boyfriend.
"If you don't go back, then listen to your father, drop out of school, and hurry up to work." Gao Hong said angrily, she was sure that her daughter would go back to school honestly.
"mom-"
Yan Zi stomped her feet, looked at her hard-hearted mother, picked up her backpack and left.
"What's the matter?"
Looking at the untouched food on the table, Gao Hong covered her forehead and sighed, wondering if anyone had paid for the food for the two walking ahead.
*****
"Yan Chu, this is a bento I made for you with my own hands. It contains my special dishes. You, you can try it and see if you like it."
When the people in the department didn't notice, Lan Qin came in with a case book covering a lunch box, carefully put down the lunch box, and left with a blushing face.
These days, it is said that they are boyfriend and girlfriend, but in fact there is no progress in the relationship between the two.
There are no ordinary couples holding hands for shopping, no ordinary couples text greetings in the morning and evening, the relationship between the two seems to be still in the state of the previous colleagues, Lan Qin thinks that maybe it is time to take the initiative, so she woke up two hours early Prepared this love bento.
Didn't it mean that to grab a man's heart is to grab a man's stomach? She still has great trust in her craft.
Yan Chu looked at the girl who left the office and closed the door, and then took out the experimental mouse that was hidden in the briefcase.
"Squeak—"
The little white mouse, who had been hungry for a long time, got into the lunch box and started eating. After more than ten minutes, it suddenly started to twitch until its body was completely rigid.
"Everyone, don't drink the bucket of drinking water in the office."
Yan Chu opened the office door, and shouted at a few colleagues who were too late to go to the cafeteria for lunch, and only gorged on bread.
"Drinking water can be toxic."
As soon as the words fell, the person who was drinking the water directly sprayed out the water from his mouth, and looked at Yan Chu in panic.
"Today is not April Fool's Day, don't you need to make such a joke?" The older doctor Zhang in the office calmed down and said to Yan Chu.
He drank several cups of water in the tea room today, it was really poisonous, he was poisoned to death long ago.
"My pet rat died after drinking the water poured out of the office water bottle and some food. Before that, it was healthy."
Yan Chu's words aroused the suspicion of the colleagues in the office, and everyone consciously walked towards Yan Chu's room.
"Everyone, don't eat everything in the office. I'll take this mouse to the laboratory for testing to see what the cause of death is."
Dr. Zhang said decisively. Seeing the glass of water on Yan Chu's table and the open lid, he didn't seem to have touched much: "The things you just ate, you'd better keep them in their original positions and don't touch them. one-"
Doctor Zhang paused: "In case something is found out, the police will always look for evidence."
A colleague in the hospital may also be involved in poisoning. The doctors in the laboratory are very capable and quickly detected excessive cyanide in the stomach of the mouse. How can there be poison in good food? Even though the hospital didn't want to cause trouble, the doctors in the department decided to call the police for their own safety.
All suspicious items in the office were taken away by the police. As the first scene of the mouse poisoning, Yan Chu's office was the most carefully inspected by the police.
At the same time, he was also questioned by the police alone, asking if he had offended anyone recently, and that person had a motive to kill him.
From the beginning to the end, Yan Chu observed the expressions of Lin Qian, Liu Chang, and Lan Qin, but the expressions of the three were very natural, and none of them had ever felt guilty or panicked.
If it is really as he guessed, it is inevitable.
"Yan Chu, are you okay?"
When getting off work, Lin Qian stopped Yan Chu.
"Look, everything seems to be going wrong after you broke up with me. Maybe if we make each other happy and get back together with me, you will be able to avoid a lot of such troubles around you?"
Lin Qian said reassuringly.
"No, I thought I was highly educated. You shouldn't say something like this without any scientific basis."
Yan Chu refused coldly, then turned and left.
Lin Qian bit her lip, angrily returned to her car, and slammed the door.
It was agreed whether to get back together or not, what was going on with her, she said that it was only three things, and this was the third time she failed to get back together, I am afraid that Yan Chu saw her joke in his heart, it is not that there are no men, it is very You can't hang on him.
Lin Qian's mood was very complicated, and there was also a kind of anger of being rejected, and at the same time, a kind of inexplicable panic.
Hammering the steering wheel heavily, she made up her mind that after a while, she might as well transfer to another department. She would rather go to the emergency room than stay with Yan Chu anymore. After a long time, she was afraid that she would lose her mind .
