[86]
This time, Lu Fengshen's trip was in vain.
He returned to the Lu family's villa. As soon as he entered, the windows of the entire villa were closed and the curtains were drawn. The room was lifeless, just like Lu Ming.
Now that there is no Chi Qiu, this villa has returned to the past, full of gloomy and damp smell.
Unable to bear it, Lu Fengshen opened the curtains, pulled the decadent Lu Ming out of the bedroom, asked him to wash up, and forced him to sit at the dining table.
"I made soup before going out, and it's just cooked through now." He deliberately raised his tone, trying to ease the atmosphere. He quickly fried two simple dishes and served them to the table.
Under his urging, Lu Ming picked up the chopsticks like a puppet, chewed and swallowed.
Lu Fengshen served him a bowl of soup, and put it in front of him thoughtfully: "I went to Chi's house just now, and only then did I know that you and Chi Qiu are going to divorce."
Lu Ming paused, thinking that Lu Fengshen wanted to ask something.
As a result, Lu Fengshen just got up, patted Lu Ming on the shoulder, and sighed: "It's okay, Chi Qiu is a transparent person, he can afford it and let it go." He wanted to persuade Lu Ming, "You and him started out originally It's wrong, and your grandmother and I have always disapproved of you doing that. Now that the fate is broken, you should take it easy."
Lu Ming said nothing.
After a long while, Lu Fengshen lowered his head and took a mouthful of rice. After swallowing it, he said, "What about Lu Rongtian... you can put it down. Your mother has been dead for so many years. We feel uncomfortable seeing you torture yourself like this. To put it bluntly For those who take revenge or not, those who are tortured are the living. Your grandmother, I, and your deceased grandfather all hope you are well."
After talking a lot, Lu Ming didn't answer a word.
Lu Fengshen knew that he couldn't be persuaded, so he patiently put away his words and planned to continue next time. He took a sip of the soup, Gu Zi smoothed things over, and boasted: "Okay, let's not talk about it, you can try this soup, I got up early in the morning to cook it for you, it tastes really good. You I haven't eaten well for a few days, so I need to make up for it."
Lu Ming looked at the bone soup with scallions floating in front of him, lowered his head and took a sip, unable to taste anything. In order to live up to Lu Fengshen's kindness, Lu Ming bit the bullet and drank half a bowl of soup.
Satisfied, Lu Fengshen put vegetables into his bowl: "Eat something light, let your stomach relax first."
"Thanks."
Lu Ming thanked him, which shocked Lu Fengshen.
Lu Fengshen stopped his chopsticks and said with a smile, "Finally willing to talk?"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Ming fell silent again.
Lu Fengshen hesitated for a moment: "Lu Ming, I talked to your grandmother yesterday, and she wanted you to hand over the company to someone else to take care of it. As for you, just like before, follow me back to live with her for a while."
Lu Ming raised his head hesitantly and looked at Lu Fengshen.
Lu Fengshen was embarrassed by him, and coughed: "Let's take a good rest and relax."
On the other hand, Lu Fengshen was still thinking about the ophthalmologist.
"Also, this is what I think... Anyway, you and Chi Qiu have decided to divorce, and it has nothing to do with you if he never sees again. When I have time, I will make another trip and give Chi Qiu the doctor's contact information." His mother. Their Chi family and Ji's family are both big and successful, and there is always a family that can find a way to contact and arrange. "
He didn't want to join in the fun to make arrangements, so as not to upset others. After all, the Chi family doesn't want to have any contact with this place now.
Of course, Lu Fengshen was thinking that since his nephew had caused so much trouble to the Chi family, he had to pay back something. Besides, Lu Fengshen has a good impression of Chi Qiu, to be frank, he quite likes Chi Qiu. If possible, he very much hopes that Lu Ming and Chi Qiu can stay together forever.
However, now that the matter has come to this point, he will not force it.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ming said calmly: "Don't be busy with the ophthalmologist, Chi Qiu won't need it."
"Why are you still so stubborn?" Lu Fengshen enlightened him, "Now you have done something wrong, you are sorry for others, I don't even know what you are stubborn about?"
"uncle."
"Say, I'll listen."
Lu Ming put down his chopsticks, looking tired, but he made up his mind decisively: "I will arrange the affairs of the company myself. Then, before grandpa recovers, I will go abroad."
Lu Fengshen thought that Lu Ming had figured it out, and was about to answer when he heard Lu Ming say, "I'm going abroad alone, not going to grandma's."
"What did you say?"
Lu Ming said firmly, "I want to go to the place where my mother died."
Lin Ye once told him that if you want to retrieve your memory, it is better to start searching from the place where the memory was lost. Maybe a trip to old places and old things would really help him.
Now, he must face the past before he can stand in front of Chi Qiu again. There is not much time left for him.
Lu Fengshen was naturally very worried about his actions and wanted to accompany him.
Lu Ming repeated again: "It's just me."
Just after he finished speaking, a few dead leaves rustled from the tree planted in the front yard of the villa.
A gust of wind hits, and autumn is completely here.
The scenery of Xingxi City has become a lot more bleak, not as gentle as spring, not as bright as summer, and not as quiet as winter. Autumn gives people the feeling of endless loneliness.
Just like Chi Qiu, born in autumn, as quiet as autumn.
The Chi family in a few days.
Chi Qiu had just recovered from a serious illness, his whole body was limp, and he was extremely lethargic. At noon, when he woke up, the bedroom was quiet. Chi Lanyan did not stay by his side as usual, and accompanied him while dealing with the work at hand.
Chi Qiu reached out to touch the empty water glass beside the bed, and when he couldn't find anyone to help him get the water, he walked out of the room with dim eyes. His movements were very light, probably because he just woke up and didn't have much strength. He was also in a daze for a while, and he didn't wear slippers, so that he didn't even make a sound when he walked.
When he was about to walk to the living room, he vaguely heard Lin Yuming and Chi Xia talking.
Recently, because of Chi Xia's return home, Lin Yuming, as his biological father, would often come to see her. Considering Chi Xia's mood, Chi Lanyan did not refuse Lin Yuming's interruption.
At this moment, Chi Lanyan and Aunt Su are not in the living room, so I don't know if they have gone out or are in the kitchen.
Chi Qiu quietly stood aside, rubbed his eyes, hesitating whether to go over to say hello...
It's just that Chi Xia's attitude towards him like a stranger has already made Chi Qiu very embarrassed at home. Even if Chi Qiu wanted to take the initiative to say a few words to her, she seemed very reluctant.
In order not to wrong Chi Xia, Chi Qiu once told Chi Lanyan clearly that she should care more about Chi Xia who had just returned home, and not worry too much about her own condition.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that apart from crying a lot, Chi Xia's relationship didn't make her depressed for too long. Chi Lanyan was also surprised to find that Chi Xia's emotional recovery ability far surpassed that of the delicate Chi Qiu.
Therefore, Chi Lanyan is actually more worried about Chi Qiu than Chi Xia. She gave six points of her concern to Chi Qiu and four points to Chi Xia.
What she didn't expect was that just two points of concern could throw the balance off balance and increase the conflict in the family again.
Therefore, at this moment, Chi Qiu is not sure whether his rash greeting will arouse the disgust of Chi Xia and Lin Yuming.
Just when he was hesitating, Lin Yuming blurted out words that made Chi Qiu glad that he didn't take a step forward.
Lin Yuming's voice was not loud, his tone was always gentle and refined, but his words were full of meanness: "When I came here just now, I bumped into Lu Ming's uncle Lu Fengshen at the door. He gave your mother a business card of a foreign ophthalmologist. Xiao Xia, It's not that Dad is talking about you, you are not defensive at all, but they are still thinking about giving Chi Qiuzhi eyes."
The fact that he can say such words shows that Chi Lanyan and Aunt Su are not at home.
He pulled Chi Xia to stand by the door, as if he was about to leave after speaking: "And don't you find it strange? Chi Qiu is about to get divorced, so there will be such kindness?"
Chi Xia pursed her lips, her indecisive look was very much like Lin Yuming when he was young: "He helped me before, I don't want to worry about it."
"You silly boy..." Lin Yuming was in a hurry, "Don't say anything else, he is going to divorce now, and he has returned to the Chi family early. If this is really visible. With your mother's temper, the family of the Chi family How much can karma leave you?"
Once divorced, Lin Yuming's attitude towards Chi Lanyan became sharper. He taught his daughter, for fear that she would suffer any loss.
He said earnestly: "Dad knew that when you were outside, Chi Qiu always helped you. But have you ever thought about why he wanted to help you?"
"he… "
"You have to know that after you take over the company completely, he will be a burden on you for the rest of your life. Your mother also hopes that you can take care of him, doesn't she? He treats you well, to put it bluntly, you will have to pay back sooner or later of."
"Listen to Dad, the internship in the company should not be delayed any longer."
Lin Yuming's meaning is very clear, regardless of whether Chi Qiu can regain his sight, he hopes that Chi Xia will settle down in the company as soon as possible, consolidate his contacts, and enrich his experience.
In this way, even if Chi Qiu was sent back to the company after his recovery, a little stumbling by Chi Xia would allow a "businessman" like Chi Lanyan to immediately distinguish who is the most suitable successor.
Chi Xia actually disliked Lin Yuming talking about this with her, her tone gradually became cold: "Dad, it's getting late, Mom and Aunt Su will be home in a while, and you have to quarrel again. I'm really tired, you can go."
"Xiao Xia!"
Chi Xia frowned: "Dad! He has been blind for so many years, and his eyes can't be cured just by talking about them."
"What if?"
"Even if there is a chance, he has missed all kinds of education and is a useless person. What can he argue with me?"
"You also said that he is a burden and useless. Besides, he just wants to compete with me, and he can't compare to me in anything." She didn't want to listen to Lin Yuming's nagging anymore, and said conceitedly, "Don't worry. "
What Chi Xia didn't know was that this "don't worry" completely made Chi Qiu give up the extravagant hope in his heart.
Chi Qiu quietly went back to his bedroom and closed the door.
In the quiet environment, Chi Qiu's heart was numb, and he couldn't even feel the pain Chi Xia brought him. His disappointment, the flowing water overflowing the container, easily drowned his heartache.
Perhaps this should be due to Lu Ming's blessing, Chi Qiu's heart was broken to pieces, and he no longer has difficulty breathing because of a little setback. But because of this, Chi Qiu's heart was no longer complete, and even the protective film of "home and everything" that covered it gradually fell off.
Without this layer of membrane, Chi Qiu can know that a person's heart can be so hot that it can burn people unconscious and make mistakes again and again.
He thinks he can protect a family's secrets, but in fact, he is contemptible enough to be ridiculed.
No one will appreciate him.
In the hearts of Lin Yuming and Chi Xia, he is always a threat, a person who should not exist in the Chi family.
In the past, Chi Qiu was worried about Chi Lanyan's mood and Chi Xia's grievance. But now, Chi Qiu began to reflect on himself, whether his concession and forbearance were really correct.
Among them: Chi Xia's blow to Chi Qiu was years of dripping water and rocks; Lu Ming's blow to Chi Qiu was a sudden awakening.
