From that day on, Jian Shiwu never saw Shen Cheng again.
This year, it seems that since the blizzard, the curtain of instability has been lifted. Under the joyful atmosphere, many people are smiling to cover their swaying hearts. Under the whitewashed peace, they are becoming more and more restless Air.
Ji's was aroused by the president's hospitalization due to a car accident. The shareholders' meeting was about to start, and the company was full of discussions. Naturally, conspiracy theories were also inevitable. Jian Zicheng, as a minority shareholder of Ji's, was not stable these days.
Jian Shiwu often hears a name:
"Donald is going to preside over this shareholder meeting."
"Since Yuanfeng's father's generation, the Tang family has been deeply rooted in the Ji family."
"That's also the friendship of the previous life."
"Donald's parents saved the life of Mr. Ji."
Speaking of the Tang family, the relationship between this family and the Ji family can't be finished for three days and three nights. Since the Ji family started a business and established the Ji family in previous lives, the Tang family has been with him all the time, following the friendship of the previous generations of ancestors , it is also difficult to finish.
For hundreds of years, the Tang family and the Ji family have had a deep friendship, and it was a fateful friendship. The ancestors of the Tang family have been loyal and loyal people for generations. Therefore, the two Ji families can be regarded as the top leaders of the company. The family is the second in command. This is a past event that anyone with a little knowledge of the inside story knows, and the two families can also maintain a balance in peace.
Zhen Meili always said: "People's hearts are always insatiable."
"yes."
Jian Zicheng always sighed with emotion: "Yuanfeng is also a person of friendship, but unfortunately in this generation, after the Tang family is in the hands of Donald, it has become more and more dissatisfied."
In the past few years, the documents from the Ji family's old house were stolen, and it must have been written by Donald.
They have always wanted to gain control of the company. From the perspective of deep-seated power, the Tang family can be regarded as the generals who accompany the emperor to fight the country, and their status in the entire company can be regarded as a veteran.
Zhen Meili said in a low voice: "Yuanfeng hasn't woken up yet, I think he can't hold back anymore."
Jian Zicheng was also lost in thought: "A slight concussion, or a bump to the head, even if you wake up, you still have to recuperate for a while. For Donald, this time is enough for him to control the company."
"Only by him?"
Zhen Meili frowned: "Could it be that Ji's family is still empty?"
After the words fell, the two looked at each other. Obviously, they both thought of Ji Yuanfeng's only son, the boy who is about to graduate from high school. If something really happened to Ji's family, then Shen Cheng would be the only one standing on the cusp of the storm. man.
…
New Year's Eve
The blizzard that had been falling for several days finally stopped, and there were people sweeping snow everywhere on the road. The air after the snow melted was so cold that people were shivering all over. Zhen Meili opened a small window, and gusts of wind came in cool breeze.
Jian Shiwu stood in front of the table making dumplings.
Zhen Meili said, "You are not allowed to make those strangely shaped dumplings."
"Know it…"
The dumplings on the table near Jian Shiwu were mischievously squeezed into various shapes. The kid couldn't work, so he just thought he had nothing to do to make trouble.
There were firecrackers outside from time to time, and Jian Shiwu said, "Where's Dad?"
Zhen Meili paused, and she said: "There is something wrong with the company. He went out in the morning and came back in the evening."
Jian Shiwu gave Zhen Meili a suspicious look.
In the recent atmosphere, even he has a keen sense that something is wrong. Although an accident happened to Ji's family, it would not affect Jian's family logically, but Jian Zicheng has kept his feet on the ground these days. He doesn't know what he is busy with. .
Jian Shiwu looked at Zhen Meili, and always felt that everyone was hiding something from him. He was a little powerless and at the same time felt depressed. He really thought a lot at home these days, past life, present life? , all going back and forth in his head, at the same age, his parents were afraid that he would think too much, so they always kept it from him and kept him from worrying too much.
At the same age, Shen Cheng shouldered much more things than him.
"mom…"
Jian Shiwu wrapped a dumpling with his white hands, and he said, "Is Shen Cheng still in Ji's old house?"
Zhen Meili nodded: "Yes."
The snow has just stopped today. If Shen Cheng wants to return to Country M, it will be either today or tomorrow. On this day of family reunion, some people have to go to a distant place. Choice, or rather, Shen Cheng has never been afraid to meet these challenges.
Jian Shiwu lowered his head and looked at the rows of dumplings, his thoughts gradually became a little wandering. Since Shen Cheng left, his mind was filled with all kinds of mixed things. No matter what he was doing, he would always think of Shen Cheng. .
This is not a very good thing.
At least some cruelty made Jian Shiwu realize that he couldn't let Shen Cheng go.
"Then... did Shen Cheng eat dumplings today?"
"Yesterday's New Year's Eve, did he spend it alone?"
"Mom, you said..."
As he spoke, he raised his head and met Zhen Meili's deep and meaningful eyes. People say that knowing a child is better than a mother. Under such eyes, it seems that all small thoughts do not exist.
Zhen Meili hooked her lips and smiled.
Jian Shiwu was inexplicably seen? His cheeks turned red, and he lowered his head anxiously: "I'll just ask casually."
Zhen Meili lowered her head and finished making the last dumpling: "Mom doesn't know either."
I heard that in the first two days, Shen Chenggong gave annual leave to all the servants in the manor, leaving only an old housekeeper to look after the house, and the rest were sent back to take annual leave, and even the kitchen was given? The family celebrates the New Year's holiday, the house is so big, but so deserted.
"oh…"
Jian Shiwu looked at the window outside, the snow had stopped, the noon sun was falling, some of the snow was slowly melting, it came to the space between the sky and the earth silently, and finally dissipated without a sound, the snowflakes were It's so soft, without any lethality, but it's never decided by others. It's so stubborn and beautiful.
Zhen Meili said: "Don't look so white, no matter how clean the snow is boiled, the water will be cloudy."
That layer of weak appearance is just its disguise.
In other words, when it drifted to the ground, it had already been stained black by the space between heaven and earth.
In a daze, Jian Shiwu thought of Shen Cheng, that handsome young man, who also implied strength like that.
After the dumplings were finished, Jian Shiwu thought they were eating for two people, but Zhen Meili brought out the lunch box, and she smiled at the child and said, "Let's go."
Jian Shiwu: "Where are you going?"
"What do you say?"
Zhen Meili put on her coat and gave him a white look: "Of course I'm going to meet the person you miss."
"..."
Jane realized it after noon, a little shyly: "Mom!"
Hearty laughter came from the door.
All the way to Ji's old house, Zhen Meili also answered a phone call on the way. It should be from Jian Zicheng. It seems that the situation is not very good, so Zhen Meili's face is also very serious. I don't know what happened? What made Jian Shiwu's mood sink.
Finally, the car stopped in front of the mansion.
Zhen Meili got out of the car: "Let's go."
Sure enough, the Ji family let all the servants go, and the old butler came to open the door, still very polite. Because Zhen Meili found out that the chef had also gone home to rest, and yesterday's dinner turned out to be some quick-frozen food, she expressed her shock to the housekeeper.
But the butler said honestly: "The cook made some dumplings when she left, but the young master didn't eat them."
…
Sometimes, Shen Cheng's thoughts are always so elusive.
Zhen Meili was silent for a while and said, "I see, you can go."
The butler bowed gratefully to the woman. Although he was a butler, he was still a servant after all, and he couldn't influence the master's wishes. After all, Shen Cheng might only listen to Zhen Meili's words.
…
living room
Jian Shiwu was waiting for Shen Cheng to come out of the room.
When they separated last time, Shen Cheng asked him to think clearly, but he didn't clearly say what he was thinking about. Maybe he knew it vaguely, but once he thought about it in that direction, some inappropriate memories would rush into his mind.
Is it still willful
Is it not enough to have killed my parents in my previous life
Are we going to make the same mistakes again
Thinking of this, Jian Shiwu felt cold all over his body, and he couldn't breathe. Many times, he would even think, why should he be reborn? If that car accident took him away completely, there wouldn't be so many troubles.
…
He sat on the sofa? His thoughts were chaotic and he didn't know what he was thinking.
suddenly
"Jingle Bell… "
The phone rang, and Jian Shiwu took it out to have a look. It was a call from a monkey. He was puzzled for a while, and then he thought of the reason. Two days ago, because the atmosphere at home was unusual, he asked the monkey to call. Check the status of your home company.
Jian Shiwu took a deep breath and answered the phone.
The monkey's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Moon, I just got the news. Your father is probably not at home right now?"
Jane Shiwu's heart lifted, and he said, "Yes, I'm not here."
"That's no wonder. I guess Uncle Jane won't be able to be idle at the moment." The monkey said, "It seems that the batch of goods that your company plans to launch this year has been detained at the customs. I don't know the specifics. Listen. It is said that something went wrong in the inspection, this matter can be big or small, but if it cannot be properly resolved, it may have a big impact."
After all, at the beginning of the year, Jian Zicheng spent most of the company's funds on this batch of goods, hoping to sell them at a good price in the spring of next year.
Jian Shiwu's face turned pale in an instant.
"Is there a problem with the goods?"
"right."
"How can there be problems with the goods? I know that my father is very strict about quality control, so there will be no problems..."
The monkey sighed: "The reason? A lot, maybe it was tricked by someone, or maybe it was the business of the partner, but I'm not sure that there must be something wrong with the product, maybe it's okay, we don't know yet. .”
paused
Monkey added: "However, if there is a problem, it may affect the listing..."
Jian Shiwu's hand on his lap was clenched suddenly, and his veins were almost bruised because of the force. If the monkey could see his face, he would know how bleak and frightening it was. He couldn't understand Jian Shiwu. The mood, the kind of mood that can't escape fate.
Like a flashback, those deliberately suppressed clips swarmed in, and at that moment, he could hardly breathe.
silence
is a long silence
When the monkey thought the phone would hang up, Jian Shiwu said with some difficulty: "This first batch of goods seems to be in cooperation with Ji's family. I heard from my father, so can you help me pay attention to the specific situation? "
The monkey said, "Okay."
"What's the matter..." Monkey asked him: "You suspect that someone is behind the scenes, do you have someone to suspect? I heard about the Ji family, so what you suspect is..."
A question like this hits the heart.
Jian Shiwu's eyes turned red unconsciously, and there was a name hovering in his heart. If this was the answer he had already had in his previous life, but now it was so difficult for him to speak, he seemed to feel it somewhere, If it were spoken out, then everything would be different, something must have gone bad.
His heart was surging, and he even felt a fishy smell spreading from his throat.
"No."
"I have no doubts," he said.
Jian Shiwu was nestled on the sofa, his voice was hoarse: "There shouldn't be any problems with the things, I trust Dad."
Monkey sighed, comforted him a few words, and then hung up the phone.
Jian Shiwu put away his mobile phone, he wanted to raise his head and take a deep breath, but he was caught off guard by the person standing on the second floor, the boy in the light blue padded jacket, leaning on the railing, standing so straight, behind his back It was a huge landscape painting on the wall of the second floor. He stood there alone, looking extremely lonely.
Jian Shiwu's eyelashes trembled slightly: "Shen Cheng..."
He didn't know if Shen Cheng heard the phone call.
When Shen Cheng walked in front of him, Jian Shiwu still felt cold all over, but Shen Cheng just poured him a glass of water, and said warmly, "Auntie brought you here?"
"Um…"
Holding the water glass in Jian Shiwu's hands, he seemed to have recovered. When he looked at Shen Cheng, he said in a soft voice, "We made some dumplings and brought them here for you to taste."
Shen Cheng said, "Thank you."
He looked at Jian Shiwu's trembling hands, his black eyes drooped slightly, and his thoughts changed several times in a few moments. When he was upstairs, he heard what Jian Shiwu said clearly, even the child Look carefully at the expressions.
Jian Shiwu wanted to put the cup down, but because his hands were too trembling, he made a loud noise on the glass table. His body also trembled sensitively, and he gasped, even as if he was worried about being caught. Seeing nothing, he glanced at Shen Cheng cautiously.
With this glance, he met the young man's deep gaze.
Shen Cheng sat lazily on the sofa, with a slight smile on his lips: "Why are you nervous?"
Jian Shiwu shook his head lightly: "No, I was thinking about something, I didn't pay attention..."
"What do you think?"
Shen Cheng's cold words made him raise his head suddenly: "Do you think Uncle Jian's batch of goods has anything to do with me?"
! !
Jian Shiwu's eyes widened, and he subconsciously wanted to refute: "No..."
"Why do you think that?" Jian Shiwu didn't know who he was comforting: "Why would I doubt you? I'm just worried about Dad, and you have no reason to do that."
"Really?" There was no unnecessary expression on Shen Cheng's face, he said slowly, the corners of his mouth even evoked an elegant smile: "But your eyes don't say that, sometimes I feel that? What unforgivable things have you done that made you wary of me."
Jian Shiwu's heart seemed to be pulled.
Shen Cheng's eyes seemed to be able to see people's hearts clearly, he raised his eyelids: "Could it be, in the previous life?"
Jian Shiwu's whole body was stiff, and his blood seemed to be frozen. He didn't know what to think of, his eyes were even red, and his breathing was a little short. He shook his head lightly, and whispered: "No..."
It's not how many unforgivable things you have done to me, but that I am also at fault.
Originally, Shen Cheng was only speaking tentatively, but he didn't expect that the child would have such a big reaction. It looked like a small animal that would collapse in a second after being cornered. At that moment, Shen Cheng My heart softened.
When Jian Shiwu lowered his head, there was some movement from the side. A small object was stuffed into his hand. It felt a little hard, but it didn't puncture. Peace symbol.
Jian Shiwu squeezed her hands: "This is..."
"I carved it."
The young man's voice sounded beside him. As soon as Jian Shiwu raised his head, Shen Cheng stretched out his hand, his slender fingers slid past his eyes, and wiped away the tears that were dripping from the corners of his big eyes. He almost sighed and said, "What? Time to become? So crying."
He looked at people like he looked at a crying child.
Jian Shiwu was inexplicably embarrassed, and he said bluntly, "I, I didn't!"
Seeing that he had regained some vitality, Shen Cheng twitched the corner of his mouth, and said, "Well, that's the best."
Jian Shiwu was still holding the wooden carved peace amulet. In fact, he was usually taken care of by Shen Cheng, but he had hardly received any formal gifts. The watch he received last time was Shen Cheng's farewell gift before leaving. This time, he was inexplicably flustered, and asked softly, "Why did you suddenly send me this..."
Shen Cheng sat beside him, the light fell, the boy's side face was very handsome, his tone was lazy, as if he was half-joking, but it was hard to despise: "What else can the safety talisman do? .”
Jian Shiwu paused, but was speechless.
Shen Cheng said, "Don't you like it?"
"… No."
Shen Cheng looked at his cautious appearance, and curled his lips: "Then be happy."
Jian Shiwu raised his head to look at him, but met the young man's eyes. Shen Cheng's eyes were deep, like roundworms in Jian Shiwu's stomach. He seemed to have guessed why he was worried. The young man looked Looking at him, those peaceful eyes gave people a sense of stability, as if nothing would happen if he was there, he reached out and touched Jane Shiwu's soft hair: "Don't cry so sadly, live a little longer. Good year, nothing will happen to anyone."
Then he withdrew his hand and took the temperature with him.
The housekeeper not far away stood there, and there was a suitcase at the door. At this moment, Jian Shiwu felt like he had realized something. He grabbed Shen Cheng's hand in a panic, and asked, "You want to go?" gone?"
"Yes." Shen Cheng said, "The plane is in two hours."
Jian Shiwu knew that he couldn't stop anything, but he didn't know what to say. He held the safety talisman tightly in his hand, but he couldn't hold on to anything except this. Seeing that Shen Cheng was about to leave, he stood When I got up, I suddenly remembered the conversation a few days ago, and said quickly: "Shen Cheng, I have thought about the things you asked me to think about. When Uncle Ji recovers from his illness, my parents and I will go to country M to see you, okay. Wait until next year In the third year of high school, you and Joan can still go back to school, we..."
Shen Cheng turned around and looked at him.
Jian Shiwu couldn't say what was on his lips, Shen Cheng walked a few steps towards him, the young man looked at him condescendingly, Jian Shiwu thought he would ask, but he didn't, he just said: "You didn't consider Clear." Jian Shiwu froze all over.
There was a somewhat cold smile in Shen Cheng's eyes, he leaned very close, lowered his voice and said, "What I want you to consider is not whether you want to come to country m to see me, but whether you want to be with me."
When those words were actually spoken, the door was finally pushed open.
"You're not a stupid kid, don't you know exactly what it is?" Under Jian Shiwu's unbelievable eyes, Shen Cheng said softly, "It's just that I don't want to think about it."
Jian Shiwu wanted to lower his head subconsciously, but Shen Cheng stretched out his hand, and the cold fingertips forced him to look up at him, and Shen Cheng said slowly: "What I want you to consider is whether to let go of those things that are entangled in your heart, and talk to him." I'm with you."
For a moment, Jian Shiwu felt that Shen Cheng seemed to know everything.
Shen Cheng: "Moon, you can ask me to be by your side, but I also have the right to ask, that's only fair."
Jian Shiwu was very confused, he murmured: "What do you want?"
"you."
The crisp answer made Jian Shiwu feel as if he had received a huge shock in his heart. He met the boy's black eyes, but found that there was something hotter hidden in Shen Cheng's eyes. He curled his lips: "I want you."
Jian Shiwu's brain suddenly turned into a mess. Sometimes he knew Shen Cheng too well and knew that this person couldn't joke. His mood was complicated and he fought left and right. It's not crazy, how can cannon fodder be with the protagonist, don't you think he died fast enough? Have you really forgotten what happened in your previous life
But emotionally, he turned to Shen Cheng. He wanted to be with Shen Cheng, but he couldn't do it.
Jian Shiwu's face turned pale, and he said tremblingly, "I...I'll think about it again..."
Standing on the spot, he was surrounded by a somewhat warm embrace. Shen Cheng gave him a hug, and the young man whispered in his ear, "Okay."
"But I don't want a one-sided answer." Shen Cheng let go of him, and there was some distance between the two of them: "You have enough time to think, one year, two years, when will you make up your mind to get rid of those entanglements?" , contact me after you decide not to hide from me anymore, don't make a decision lightly, otherwise the result is not something you can bear."
Knowing that he was really going to leave, Jane Shiwu asked softly, "If...I mean if I don't accept it..."
Shen Cheng pursed his lips and looked at him tenderly as if coaxing a small animal, but what he said was cruel: "Then don't contact me any more."
Jian Shiwu froze all over.
He didn't know when Shen Cheng left that day, but he only remembered that before the car left, Zhen Meili gave the child dumplings and some temporary cakes for him to eat on the way. On the way back, Zhen Meili received a call, saying that the customs had no problem with the shipment and had already released it.
She babbled a lot, and while she was talking, she observed Jian Shiwu's expression in the rearview mirror. She knew that Jian Shiwu had a deep relationship with Shen Cheng. Crying, but I didn't expect that he just sat quietly in the back row, neither crying nor making trouble.
For a moment, Zhen Meili looked at the child in the rear car mirror, and it was at this moment that she finally realized clearly that this child had grown up.
The author has something to say: about Shen Cheng's departure, the matter of Jian's company, and some complicated reasons, this chapter really can't be written, and it will be slowly unfolded in the future.
The follow-up is basically sweet and sweet, sisters, woo woo, hug me!
