When Chen Zhan received the call, Shen Mucheng was talking with Shen Yun and the others in the study. Hearing Chen Zhan say that he had arrived in City B, Shen Mucheng stopped what he was doing, made an appointment with him, and then hung up the phone .
After returning to the room and taking his coat, Shen Mucheng went downstairs to greet Luo Shaoheng who was in the studio before leaving the door.
Luo Shaoheng would write and draw at home when he had nothing to do these days, and when he felt bored, he would go out with Shen Mucheng or Shen Yun to visit the scenic spots in the city. Logically speaking, it should be a very comfortable life, but he felt uneasy, as if it was a kind of calm before the storm.
Facts have proved that he was not wrong, Shen Mucheng just went out today, someone came to the door.
Luo Shaoheng's memory is not bad, so he only remembered who the other party was after only two seconds. It was one of the two elderly people he met in Dr. Zhang's clinic before.
The other party smiled at him politely: "Hello, Mr. Luo, I wonder if you have time now? Our old man wants to ask you to meet."
Luo Shaoheng guessed that he was talking about another old man, but he didn't know him at all, and didn't understand what the other party meant, so he asked calmly, "Who is your old man?"
"Our old man's surname is Jiang, you should know who he is," said the other party.
Surnamed Jiang.
Luo Shaoheng's first reaction was Shen Mucheng's grandfather.
The person who came was indeed Steward Jiang. He looked at Luo Shaoheng and smiled kindly: "Please forgive me for taking the liberty to visit. If Mr. Luo is free, I wonder if you can come with me."
He used declarative sentences instead of questions. It was not so much an invitation as an announcement. After he finished speaking, he quietly waited for Luo Shaoheng's answer.
After knowing the truth of the matter, although Luo Shaoheng didn't specifically think about Shen Mucheng's grandfather and grandfather, he also knew that he would face it sooner or later. He was not very surprised by Steward Jiang's visit, but nodded calmly and said, "Then come in and wait a minute, and I'll pack up." He was only wearing a bottoming sweater, and the paint in the studio was still open .
Jiang Steward was very satisfied with his cooperation, nodded his thanks with a smile, and entered the room with him.
Ask someone to sit down in the room and wait, Luo Shaoheng poured him a glass of water, went to the studio to clean up the paint, then went upstairs to get the coat and went out together.
On the way, Luo Shaoheng didn't ask Mr. Jiang why he was looking for him, because they knew each other well, and he didn't tell Shen Mucheng that Mr. Jiang was looking for him in a hurry. He sat in the car with a very calm expression, as if he was just going to Go to a simple invitation.
Steward Jiang was a little surprised by his silence, but when he thought that the person in front of him was the one chosen by his young master, he felt that it should be so.
The car stopped at the door of a high-end tea room, Luo Shaoheng and Jiang Steward went in, followed the waiter's guidance to the box, where they met Shen Mucheng's grandfather.
Luo Shaoheng paused slightly when he stepped in, and his eyes met Mr. Jiang who was sitting on the table.
It was an old man who had been in a high position for a long time, and his aura should not be underestimated.
After looking at each other for two seconds, he nodded towards the other party, walked slowly to the opposite side of the table and sat down.
There was no waiter in the box, Luo Shaoheng and Mr. Jiang sat opposite each other, and Jiang's housekeeper made tea for them both.
Luo Shaoheng nodded his thanks to Butler Jiang for putting the brewed tea in front of him, then looked at Mr. Jiang, and said, "Hello, Mr. Jiang, I don't know why you came here today?"
Mr. Jiang took a sip of tea, praised "good tea" first, and then said slowly: "Mr. Luo is so smart, don't you know why I'm looking for you?"
Luo Shaoheng smiled when he heard the words, and did not play Tai Chi with him: "Since you said so, then I will not beat around the bush. The old man came to me this time to complete Shen Mucheng and me, or to repeat the tragedy ten years ago ?”
As soon as he said this, Steward Jiang paused his hand making tea, and looked up at Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang didn't react too much to his words, he just put the teacup on the table: "It seems that you all know."
"Dr. Zhang belongs to you. I'm afraid you already knew it when we first went to the clinic." Luo Shaoheng said, ever since he knew that what happened back then was related to the other party, and since Dr. Zhang was from the Jiang family, Luo Shaoheng has been I know that my whereabouts these days should all be monitored.
Luo Shaoheng was right. When he and Shen Mucheng first visited Dr. Zhang's clinic, a photo of the two of them together was sent to Mr. Jiang that day.
Mr. Jiang was shocked when he saw Luo Shaoheng's photo. He had met Luo Shaoheng once, that was when Shen Mucheng had an accident in the suburbs, when Luo Shaoheng was notified to come to the hospital, he was also there, but in that situation Luo Shaoheng had no intention of paying attention to the people next to him.
It's just that he didn't expect Luo Shaoheng to meet Shen Mucheng again after so many years, and even without memory, Shen Mucheng still chose to be with him.
Seeing that he did not speak, Luo Shaoheng continued, "From Doctor Zhang to Xu Dezhou, I think our every move is under your control, am I right?"
Mr. Jiang nodded, and said with a little praise: "You see clearly."
"It's not that I can see clearly, it's just that things have come to this point, and they can be connected with just a little stroke." Luo Shaoheng was not at all happy about his praise, "But I have some doubts."
"Tell me and listen." The old man seemed to be listening attentively.
"Since you knew that we were investigating what happened back then, why didn't you stop us? After all, you spent a lot of effort trying to separate us." Speaking of the next few words, the smile on Luo Shaoheng's face slowly Converge.
"If I intervene to stop it, will you stop?" Mr. Jiang asked back.
"Of course not." Luo Shaoheng replied without hesitation, neither he nor Shen Mucheng would be reconciled until the matter was clarified.
"That's right, my meddling is just to cause you more trouble. With Mucheng's character, he will figure out sooner or later what he wants to know." Mr. Jiang paused, and his eyes stopped on Luo Shaoheng, "Just like You, even if I stop him more, he will still be with you."
Luo Shaoheng was puzzled: "Since you know, why..."
"Why?" Mr. Jiang laughed and interrupted Luo Shaoheng, "Isn't this a very simple question? As far as I know, Mr. Luo was also stopped by his parents back then, right?"
Luo Shaoheng held the hand holding the tea for a while, remembering how his mother was disappointed and angry with him back then.
Luo Shaoheng is the youngest son of the Luo family. Mrs. Luo gave birth to him when he was nearly fifty years old. He is almost twenty years behind his elder brother.
Because he was a latecomer, Luo Shaoheng has been favored since he was a child. Even though he has no interest in business, Mrs. Luo and Mr. Luo have no objections to choosing to study art. For them, the Luo family is managed by them and the eldest son, and the younger son Just have to have fun.
Except for not being interested in business, Luo Shaoheng did not disappoint his parents in all aspects. He was excellent in all aspects from childhood to adulthood. Mrs. Luo was also very satisfied with this, until the appearance of Shen Mucheng.
Even though she loves Luo Shaoheng very much, Mrs. Luo strongly opposes his choice to be with a man. Because she has been in the mall for a long time, Mrs. Luo has a very strong temper, and even has a certain style of saying nothing. However, when Luo Shaoheng was young, he was very stubborn and refused to break up with Shen Mucheng. The two sides were in a stalemate, so that the relationship between mother and child finally broke.
Luo Shaoheng didn't know if his parents had looked for Shen Mucheng without telling him back then, because Shen Mucheng didn't mention it, but he guessed there should be, because even if he refused to break up with Shen Mucheng, his parents probably wanted to use other means Let's separate them. After all, in the eyes of their parents, their behavior is wrong, so Mr. Jiang should think so too.
Thinking of this, he looked up at Mr. Jiang, but found that he seemed to be looking at him, but not quite, his eyes seemed a little dazed at this moment.
"I have four sons, and only one daughter, who is Mucheng's mother." After a while, Mr. Jiang suddenly said, "Ah Jing married Zong Xian after graduating from university, and gave birth to Mucheng the next year." .”
Luo Shaoheng heard that although Shen Mucheng had never mentioned his parents, he knew from the information Chen Zhan had given that his parents had passed away. He didn't want Shen Mucheng to be sad, and he never asked about it.
When he suddenly brought up the past, Luo Shaoheng was slightly taken aback, but he didn't say much, and quietly listened to him talking about the two elders who died young.
When talking about his beloved daughter, Mr. Jiang's expression softened. The eyes that looked a little muddy because of his age were full of nostalgia and kindness. The oppressive aura just now faded a lot, and there were more ordinary elders His appearance actually seemed kind of friendly.
"When Ah Jing and Zong Xian left, Mu Cheng was only in his teens. After that, there were only me and his grandfather around him. Mu Cheng's personality has been calm since he was a child, and we also raised him as an heir, not only the Shen family He even owns half of Jiang's family." When Mr. Jiang said this, his gentle look just disappeared in vain, and he looked at Luo Shaoheng sharply and said, "Zong Xian and Ah Jing only have such a son, I am grateful to you Saving Mucheng doesn't mean I can let you stay together."
Facing his oppressive aura, Luo Shaoheng showed no signs of timidity. He still looked straight into his eyes calmly, and his expression gradually turned cold: "So you disregarded our wishes, created a fake death certificate, and brought Shenmu City back to the city. here?"
"The wrong start should end in time. Since he can't stop it, then I, a grandfather, will naturally not let him continue to make mistakes." Mr. Jiang said in a deep voice, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did back then. He paused, and looked at Luo Shaoheng's tone with a rare hint of apology, "I know that you are sincere to Mucheng, and I am sorry for the harm caused to you by the incident back then. Our Jiang family can try our best to make up for it."
"Compensation?" Luo Shaoheng repeated these two words, and the corner of his mouth raised a mocking arc, "For you, can anything be compensated later?"
His sarcasm made Mr. Jiang frown, but when he thought that his actions had indeed caused Luo Shaoheng a lot of suffering, he felt that he could not be blamed. He pondered for a while and said, "Then what do you think?"
"You are Shen Mucheng's grandfather, and I will respect you as much as he does. I don't want to pursue the past, and I don't need any compensation, because it doesn't make any sense." Luo Shaoheng said calmly, "I just came here today to ask you one thing."
"Oh?" The old man raised his eyebrows, "Tell me."
"Is Shen Mucheng's memory loss caused by a car accident or man-made?" Luo Shaoheng asked this sentence slowly. Although he already had an answer, he still wanted to confirm it once.
