Therefore, he used violent methods to cover up the uneasiness in his heart, just like now, he looked at Cheng Yiyuan with great dissatisfaction, and asked: "What is wrong with you? Look at you, you are young and successful!" He shook Pointing his fingers, he listed out the honorable titles: "The young master of the Cheng family, the successor of Yongsheng, the vice president of Yijiang Oh, maybe he will be the president in the future."
Cheng Yiyuan's eyes turned cold when he heard this, but Cheng Yongcheng didn't care, and continued: "In the past twenty years, I have tried my best to pave this golden road for you, what tricks do you want to do?"
The sentence "Maybe he will be the president in the future" made Cheng Yiyuan feel overwhelmed, and the quarrel with Zhou Shaoting is still vivid in his memory. The kind of helplessness that he wanted to trust, but had to guard against for some reason, made him feel very depressed.
In a person's life, he meets many people and intersects with many people, but there are not many people who can be trusted without reservation. Especially like Cheng Yiyuan, because of his complicated background and experience, he is used to pretending in front of others, and his heart is abnormally sensitive, so it is even more difficult to trust anyone.
As for Zhou Shaoting, it was an accident that surprised him. They hit it off at first sight, cherished each other, and shared common recognition and pursuit. After three years of getting along, they are not only partners who fight side by side, but also friends who can talk to each other. In Cheng Yiyuan's heart, he really wants to regard Zhou Shaoting as a brother who can talk about everything.
However, all of this fell apart under the exhaustion of his father's organs and every step of the way. In order to give his son the promise of "President of Yijiang", he took away his partners, friends, and brothers, and destroyed his trust, perseverance, and pursuit. He managed to find a little faith and a little motivation to forge ahead in his aimless life, but he was swallowed up by the tide of the business sea and sank into the cold, deep sea and a hidden reef.
Cheng Yiyuan felt that disgusting and lingering sense of fate in his heart again, and he said sullenly, "I have nothing wronged."
At first I didn't want to go any further, but I was really suffocated, Cheng Yiyuan let out a breath, and said one more sentence, understating, "I just think that I may not be suitable for this kind of life, I feel like Dai Acting with a mask on, and with his hands and feet bound, he couldn¡¯t go anywhere, and felt uncomfortable.¡±
Cheng Yongcheng snorted lightly, "I think you are selfish! You are only thinking of yourself. Cooperate and go crazy everywhere, play everywhere, you will be happy, right?"
"Just think I'm selfish," Cheng Yiyuan didn't deny it, looked at his father, and smiled shyly, "Don't you always say that I look like my mother?"
Cheng Yongcheng's face was clouded instantly, and he warned him in a hoarse voice: "You can't say that about your mother!"
Cheng Yiyuan's heart was full of bitterness, corroding the nerves of reason, and murmured with some doubts: "Do you think my mother is not selfish? When she was pregnant, she only wanted to kill the baby in her belly. My father persuaded her The child stayed and said that he was willing to be responsible for our mother and child. When I was young, she left me at my grandma's house because she didn't want to face me and almost never came to see me. Only my dad often came back to accompany me and let me know She is also a person with parents. Later, in order to pursue the so-called love, she gave up the family that she had run for many years"
Cheng Yiyuan suddenly stopped talking, he realized that he was too gaffe, as if he was in a daze, so he said a lot in a daze, without even thinking about it.
Looking at his father uneasily, Cheng Yongcheng's face was really ugly, but unexpectedly he was not angry, his eyebrows were lowered slightly, as if waiting for him to continue talking.
However, Cheng Yiyuan couldn't say another word.
Cheng Yongsheng stroked his forehead, and said in an infinitely tired tone, "I was younger than you now, just a thought" He sighed heavily, "But after I realized my repentance, I have been trying my best to make up for it. I didn't expect that so many years had passed. , you still can't let go."
Cheng Yiyuan was silent for a moment, and suddenly said incomprehensibly: "Father, you used to always say that it is not a good habit to like to write with a pencil, because the handwriting will become blurred after a long time. But I just like this. It can be erased, as if you didn't miss it." He smiled bitterly, "But the wrong things can never be erased, they are always there, and the traces left are in everyone's heart. "
Then, both of them were silent for a long time, and Cheng Yongsheng said, "Don't mention these things again." It was short but undeniable, "I respect your feelings for your adoptive father, but you also have to respect my feelings for your mother." Feelings."
At this point, the meal is depressed and scattered.
Cheng Yiyuan went back to his room and worked for a while, guessing that his sister's temper had almost dissipated by itself, so he went to her door and knocked lightly.
A sentence came out flatly from inside: "I'm going to rest."
"It's me, Yaoyao."
The older brother's voice was always clearer and softer. Cheng Yiyao got up from the bed, cleared his throat, and adjusted his tone: "The door is not locked."
As soon as Cheng Yiyuan came in, he saw his younger sister sitting cross-legged on the bed with a big puppet in her arms. She looked exactly the same as when she was a child, she was simply a childish little girl. However, he knew that the girl's mind was not as simple as her appearance.
Cheng Yiyuan walked over and sat beside his younger sister's bed, and comforted him softly: "Don't think too much about it, Shao Ting won't take it to heart. As for father, he has a good intention."
Cheng Yiyao thought of his father's face livid with anger, and felt somewhat guilty, and asked cautiously, "Is Dad still angry now?"
"It should be fine, watching TV downstairs." Cheng Yiyuan slowed down his tone, "Yaoyao, you just said it a bit harshly. After all, my father is old and not in good health. You should be more careful when talking to him in the future. Don't be the same as when you were a child, just say what you think of."
What he said was actually admonishing himself.
Cheng Yiyao said "Oh" obediently, she was always willing to listen to her brother's words.
Cheng Yiyuan's eyes fell on a book spread out by his sister's bedside, and he casually picked it up to look at it. It was a hardcover collection of poems - "Poetry from the Heart of Clouds".
Cheng Yiyuan looked at his sister unexpectedly, "What, are you reading poetry recently?"
Cheng Yiyao nodded, "Accept the influence of your mother tongue. It's my birthday present from Sister Xiaoshi. I like it very much."
As soon as Cheng Yiyuan heard the word "Xiaoshi", the look in his eyes dimmed.
Cheng Yiyao regretted his slip of the tongue, put down the puppet, leaned over to his brother, and tugged at his sleeve, "Then, what are you going to do?"
Cheng Yiyuan knew that she was asking about his own feelings, so he straightened his back, showing a kind of indifference and relaxation, "What should I do? Just like everyone else, get married and have children, start a family and start a business, and live a stable life for the rest of your life."
He spoke lightly and indifferently, and the loneliness on his face was well concealed, and he even had a chic smile on his face. But Cheng Yiyao's heart was chilly, and he called out "Brother" distressedly, and then lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of touching something again, "I remember you told me before that the life you most want to live is to hope One day I can let go of everything, travel around the world with my loved ones, and regard this as a way of life. You don¡¯t need good material conditions, as long as you are free.¡±
She looked into her brother's eyes stubbornly and earnestly, as if she was trying to see into his heart, but in the end she was blocked by a layer of dark gray mist, and asked with some disappointment: "Do you not think so now?"
Cheng Yiyuan patted his sister's head, "No, this has always been my ideal life. It's just" His voice sank, "In my dream, I can no longer have her."
The pictures of the past came into my mind chaotically, overlapping into colorful and blurred images. Only the top picture can be vaguely seen. It turned out to be Wen Jiaqi standing under the corridor of the hospital, smiling with sunshine .
Perhaps, this is fate, right?
Cheng Yiyuan looked into his younger sister's dark eyes, in which there was a young man's indomitable persistence. He was very afraid that his sister would dig into the horns of the relationship, so he said pointedly: "Yaoyao, there is a lot of helplessness in this life. Many things are not what we want, so sometimes, we have to retreat and ask for help." Secondly, it is also a wise choice.¡±
Cheng Yiyao pursed his chin, as if thinking about his brother's words. After a while, he said with firm eyes: "Even if I decide to quit, I don't want to be second. I have to wait for the best. If I can't wait, No more."
Cheng Yiyuan was very emotional in his heart, wondering if his sister would persist in this pride regardless of the cost at his age, but now he only has envy and blessings.
"I really hope that I can live as willfully as you."
Speaking of self-willedness, Cheng Yiyao suddenly remembered that there was something she wanted to do first, and she lowered her head slightly to confess to her brother: "Just now, I asked Assistant Sun to help me book a plane ticket for next week, and I want to go back to the United States early. "
Cheng Yiyuan was really surprised, "Isn't there still some time before you start school? Why are you in such a hurry to go back?"
Cheng Yiyao hesitated for a moment, and said vaguely: "There is something wrong."
But the actual reason is that she doesn't want to stay here and watch her father and steven fight openly and secretly. On the surface, she didn't care about the Cheng family's business affairs, but she probably knew it in her heart. Recently, she learned about the turmoil in Yijiang from various sources, and vaguely smelled something unusual. And what Jin Xin said to her in the afternoon confirmed her guess¡ªthe Cheng family and the Zhou family had already stood in opposing positions. A storm is approaching quietly, and it is inevitable. She must evacuate from the center of the storm before everything goes wrong.
Cheng Yiyao saw that his brother did not continue to ask, he felt relieved, and said with a happy expression: "Brother, I have something to discuss with you. Before I leave, I want to visit Lijiang Ancient Town again." (Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com)field. A storm is approaching quietly, and it is inevitable.
