Lu Rong and Fang Qing confronted each other on the balcony.
Lu Rong: "The story you told about my father being imprisoned for smuggling sandalwood..."
Fang Qing: "It's true."
Lu Rong: "Then you brought my divorce story..."
Fang Qing: "It's true, too."
Lu Rong almost ran away: "Am I the only one who is fake in this story!"
Fang Qing pulled him to sit on the swing. Their balcony is only one meter wide, but Fang Qing made a swing here, which is usually used to put folded clothes and pants.
Fang Qing looked like she didn't know where to start: "It's like this. Your father and my ex-husband are brothers. Your mother and I are good sisters. Can you accept it? "
Lu Rong calmed down and said, "It's okay."
Fang Qing: "Then, my ex-husband went to jail for smuggling sandalwood."
Lu Rong: "..."
Fang Qing: "Your father was also imprisoned for smuggling sandalwood. They are two brothers. They did this illegal and criminal business together. They are brothers."
Lu Rong: "..."
Fang Qing: "At that time, there were two choices. One was to send you to the orphanage, and the other was to entrust you to my care."
Lu Rong: "...What about my mother?"
Fang Qing took his hand: "...do you really want to know? This is the saddest part of this story."
Lu Rong: "Tell me, I can stand it."
Fang Qing took a deep breath: "She was also imprisoned for smuggling sandalwood."
Lu Rong: "..."
Lu Rong: "Three of the four of you went in? Are you the only one who often walks by the river without getting his shoes wet?"
Fang Qing: "Because I was dancing in the dance hall every day at that time, so I didn't know anything about what they were doing."
Sitting on the swing, Lu Rong was in a very complicated mood. He didn't know what to say about this family tragedy.
He sank for a while, and asked Fang Qing: "Then why didn't you tell me?"
Fang Qing took his hand: "What am I telling you? Your father and mother are both smugglers? Your blood is too special. You can open a lock at the age of eight. We only want you to be an ordinary boy. I don’t want you to make the same mistakes again.”
Lu Rong: "I'm not a monster, where did my blood come from? Because of this ridiculous reason, I haven't seen my parents until I was sixteen?"
"It's not because of this reason." Fang Qing put his shoulder gently, "When you were young, your parents were too busy to take care of you. They were busy being prison bullies in women's prisons and men's prisons, so That’s why you lost your childhood. Every time I carry you to visit the prison, they will lose the fight the next day. You will make them weak. That’s why you are not asked to go.”
Lu Rong: "..."
Fang Qing said quietly: "After they come out, they will go to Shanxi to be coal bosses..."
Lu Rong was taken aback: "They have already come out?"
"Yes, they came out after ten years of sentence. The three of them formed a group to dig coal in Shanxi five years ago, experienced several mine collapses, and finally made a comeback. Xianyu turned around and made a fortune, becoming a coal boss." Fang Qing shrug.
Lu Rong suddenly remembered: "What you said can't be..."
One year during the Spring Festival, a wealthy family came from Shanxi. It was said that they were relatives from afar. The men smoked cigarettes and the women wore mink and the children wore trendy brands. The children were very bearish, but the women were very nice.
Fang Qing said sadly: "That's right. Your mother and father are the ones who gave you dollars, and that brat is your brother."
Lu Rong was silent for a moment, trying to bear it or couldn't bear it: "Although I don't particularly want to be their son, logically speaking, they came out and made a fortune, so they should recognize me. Isn't this human nature? Why don't they recognize me? I?"
Fang Qing bit her lip: "...do you really want to know?"
Lu Rong: "Say."
Fang Qing: "They think you're a bit pretentious."
Lu Rong: "..."
Lu Rong: "..."
Lu Rong: "..."
Lu Rong: "..."
Lu Rong's eyes were stern enough to kill, Fang Qing turned her head: "...that's when you stare at people like this."
Lu Rong spread out on the swing, his eyes were empty, and he swayed himself. I just learned that his parents were smugglers, sentenced to ten years in prison, and went to Shanxi to work as a coal boss after they came out. They didn’t recognize him, and finally sent him with 5 pieces of one hundred dollars. What else could he say except sitting on the swing and being silent .
Fang Qing: "They are still paying your alimony every month."
Lu Rong: "Oh, isn't that right." He had already noticed that Fang Qing's bank card balance was abnormal, and he once thought that Fang Qing was being taken care of by someone.
"Think about it, don't you have me?" Fang Qing still held his hand, falling into tender memories, "I know that Rong Rong is not pretending at all, it's just that the brat broke it You bought me Estee Lauder eye cream, so you just taught him a lesson."
Lu Rong got up and left: "Just now you said that you would only raise me until I was eighteen in order to marry Jitong."
Fang Qing was embarrassed: "... You have heard this sentence."
Lu Rong went downstairs to throw out the trash to get some fresh air. Ji Tong was about to leave, so the two stopped by. Ji Tong was a little nervous, but he didn't want to stand in the cold, so he told some cold jokes to Lu Rong, and the atmosphere suddenly became colder. The two men walked to the entrance of the alley in silence.
Lu Rong: "How did you go back?"
Jitong: "I have a car."
Lu Rong: "Oh."
The two waited silently for the car.
Jitong suddenly said to Lu Rong: "I'm sorry to let you hear such bad news." He just came to have a meal, and Lu Rong suddenly lost his mother. In various senses, it makes sense that he has opinions on himself.
Lu Rong put it in his trouser pocket and said lightly: "It's okay."
Jitong: "When your mother first dated me, she said she had a son. If you can't accept her son, then there's nothing to talk about. I said I also have a son, and then we talked about your adolescent children, and finally we slowly fell in love with each other. Together. It's not that she hasn't met a good partner before, but she didn't succeed, largely because of you. If she really doesn't love you and wants to get rid of you, she won't say that. "
Lu Rong was silent for a while, then asked Ji Tong: "Then besides talking about adolescent sons, what else do you have in common?"
Ji Tong: "Uh..."
Lu Rong didn't wait for his answer, and said calmly: "Our family's conditions are not good. My mother is old and has no education, and she also has a mop bottle." After speaking, he glanced at Jitong.
Ji Tong was taken aback, and smiled frankly: "When you reach my age, you will know that love is more important than reason."
Lu Rong was very satisfied with this answer: "Well, that's fine. Are you coming to pick her up tomorrow?" He heard the two discussing just now.
Jitong said excitedly: "That's the plan, I want to settle our affairs..."
Seeing Lu Rong glance over, Ji Tong quickly changed his words: "...mainly to go to a movie."
Lu Rong smiled lightly, two people live together, how can there be so many calculations, Ji Tong is a very humane person, Fang Qing is lucky.
While talking, the brilliant car lights reflected in the alley, lighting up a piece of tube building. Lu Rong squinted his eyes, and when his retinas got used to it, he realized that the Bentley Mulsanne he had seen in the evening had quietly slid in front of him. The driver got out of the car and opened the door for Jitong.
Ji Tong: "Then I'll go first!" He said to Lu Rong happily and respectfully. "Come over to my house for dinner tomorrow!"
Lu Rong: "..."
Are the loan sharks so rich these days? !
This marriage is not as bad as imagined.
When Lu Rong came back after taking out the trash, Fang Qing was sitting on the sofa arranging his childhood toys and sobbing silently.
Seeing Lu Rong, she hugged an old baby jumpsuit and burst into tears.
Lu Rong was carrying the trash can: "...why are you crying?"
Fang Qing: "I thought you weren't coming back, woo woo woo..."
Wearing slippers and carrying a trash can? !
Lu Rong laughed heartily: "Is that dirty little padded jacket in your hand a substitute for me?"
Fang Qing burst into tears: "You loved this little padded jacket so much when you were a child! When I just finished making it, you wore it to sleep every night!"
Lu Rong chuckled and sat down beside her.
Fang Qing immediately put her head on his shoulder, and tears streamed down his shoulder: "Actually, I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would be sad. I don't want you to know that I am not your mother. Then you will call me auntie." , then my sixteen years of work will be in vain..."
Lu Rong: "Mom."
Although Lu Rong's mood fluctuates, he understands that being his own mother is not a wise choice, and sending him to an orphanage is a wise and normal choice. He did not become an orphan who was pointed at by others because of his family background, but grew up in a single-parent family in an ordinary way. It was Fang Qing, who was 20 years old, who stepped forward to take over him at that time, and spread his wings to protect him for 16 years. .
Fang Qing shed the old mother's tears happily when she heard the mother.
Lu Rong gently wiped away her tears: "If you cry today, you will swell when you take a photo for your ID tomorrow."
Fang Qing: "!"
Fang Qing rushed to the bathroom to apply eye cream, then remembered something important, and asked him cautiously, "Will you go to Ji's house with me? Even if you are eighteen years old, I will no longer be your guardian." , you will also stay at Ji's house, right?"
Lu Rong: "That's not what you told Ji Tong just now."
Fang Qing assured him: "That's a strategy to cheat the marriage. I've been dumped too many times over the years."
Lu Rong nodded: "Okay, I'll go wherever you go."
Fang Qing didn't bother to put on eye cream anymore, she ran out and hugged him. Lu Rong also hugged her into his arms: "I don't worry about marrying you alone, just in case Jitong bullies you." In their Lu family, there is an unwritten rule: men are to protect women . The bear child smashed Fang Qing's eye cream, and Lu Rong still stepped forward, let alone such a big event as marriage.
The two hugged for a while.
Lu Rong: "The reason they don't want me is because I've taken care of the brat."
Fang Qing: "I'm sorry, it's all because of me..." Lu Rong lost the chance to return to his family.
Lu Rong: "I will make the same choice again."
Fang Qing hugged Lu Rong even more tightly.
After hugging for a while, Lu Rong raised his head first: "It feels a little subtle." They are actually not related by blood.
Fang Qing: "I washed your diapers when I was a child, and you pooped so much that the diapers couldn't hold it in."
Lu Rong put her head back on her shoulder: "It's much better now." Fang Qing confirmed his mother and didn't run away.
