Casting spells

All of a sudden, everyone around gathered together, chattering into a ball.

Obviously, the unfamiliar environment and the heavily armed fighters outside made these victims seriously lack a sense of security in their hearts, and they immediately became nervous at the slightest sign of trouble.

In this regard, Jaeger only took two steps back and raised his hands to express his innocence, and did not make any threatening actions to prevent the situation from developing in the worst direction.

"Enough! Don't make noise! ​​I'm fine! It's just that I was a little excited when I heard a familiar name." Chen Song, who came back to his senses, immediately stopped the overly nervous young man loudly.

He never imagined that he would meet his own son whom he had been longing to see for many years but dared not to meet in the vast ocean.

"Are you sure you don't need help?" The girl who spoke first showed strong worry in her eyes.

Chen Song forced a smile, and responded softly: "No, there is no need, Tanya. I am not going to see anyone else, but my son who should have been there as soon as I arrived in New York. Now that he has appeared In front of me, how can I continue to escape..."

"Oh! Shet! You mean... the owner of this ship is actually your own son, my bloodless brother? But from your description, he doesn't seem to be so rich." The girl named Tanya opened her mouth wide in surprise.

"Don't ask me, I don't know anything, and I don't really know what happened in these years. Please give me some time, I need to apologize for the mistakes I made when I was young."

After saying this, Chen Song took a deep breath and followed Jaeger directly to the captain's room.

Not long after he left on his front foot, the restaurant exploded on his back foot.

Especially the energetic female student who was full of gossip, immediately leaned over and asked Tanya loudly: "Dear sister! I think you need to explain what happened to your adoptive father's biological son who suddenly appeared."

"Yes! Yes! Yes! The most important thing is whether he is as handsome as Professor Chen? God! A handsome, rich, and young billionaire, I feel like my true destiny has arrived."

"Little Bichi! Don't be hot! With your body and appearance, it is definitely impossible for you to be favored by rich and handsome men." Tanya rolled her eyes angrily.

But after hesitating for a moment, she still explained softly: "Before Chen married my mother, she actually had another marriage and gave birth to a boy. But according to his description, the boy's mother was a complete lunatic And a control freak, that marriage was a complete disaster. In the end, he couldn't take it anymore and chose to leave his young son alone. And this departure lasted for more than 20 years, during which there was never any Formal connection. Chen has always felt guilty about the son he abandoned, so he rarely mentions it in front of outsiders, and always feels that he should make some compensation..."

Just when Tanya was telling her friends about this gossip, Zhang Cheng finally met his nominal father.

The two just stared at each other without saying a word. After a full 5 minutes, he smiled and said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that we would meet for the first time under such a coincidence."

"I...I...I'm sorry..."

Chapter 7 Father and Son

"Why do you have to apologize?" Zhang Cheng casually poured a glass of amber whiskey and handed it to the other party.

It has to be said that although this meeting was completely unplanned, he still showed great interest.

The reason is simple, no matter from any angle, the family he impersonates has an unspeakable weirdness, which makes people unable to help but have various associations.

Especially this old man with a very high degree of education and full of idealism, how did he get together with an ambitious and powerful woman in the first place, and why did he choose to leave?

The more he understands, the more Zhang Cheng feels that there must be a wonderful story behind it.

Since he himself is studying human behavior and psychology recently, he will naturally not let go of such a special real case.

Chen Song took the cup, raised his head and took a big gulp, forcing himself to calm down.

After a while, he replied with a wry smile: "Shouldn't I apologize? After all, it was my weakness and irresponsibility that caused you to lose half of your family affection since childhood. Maybe for your mother, my heart There is nothing wrong with it, the reason why she has remained single is completely caused by her own character flaws, but you are innocent, I think I have to say sorry to my face."

"Okay, I accept it. Although I don't think it's necessary." Zhang Cheng shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

Now he finally understands the reason why the other party keeps giving all kinds of small gifts, but never visits.

After all, guilt is a very special psychological activity. It will cause a series of complex emotional feedback including anxiety, nervousness, anticipation, and fear. , for fear of accidentally creating an irreparable situation.

"You don't seem to be excited? You don't hate me?" Chen Song's eyes showed undisguised surprise.

He originally thought that even if his ex-wife didn't say too many bad things about him, at least she wouldn't say anything good. The first time they met, they would probably have a big fight and vent all the grievances of ten or twenty years.

But the reality is just the opposite. There are neither fierce quarrels and roars, nor emotional venting, but only calmness and alienation like treating strangers.

"Hate?" Zhang Cheng smiled and shook his head. "No, you imagine yourself too important. To me, you are just a stranger with a blood relationship, that's all. I'm interested in what happened between you and my mother, Why would someone like you marry an extremely powerful woman."

"Did your mother tell you anything?" Chen Song subconsciously frowned, feeling that the situation was a bit beyond his expectations.

"She didn't say anything. It is precisely because of this that I am so interested. You must know that there are not many husbands in the world who allow their sons to take their mother's surname, and you happen to be one of them." After finishing speaking, Zhang Cheng put down The wine bottle in his hand looked directly into the opponent's eyes.

"Are you mocking me?" Chen Song obviously didn't want to talk about this topic, and his tone was slightly angry.

After realizing this, Zhang Cheng pretended to be casual and replied: "No, it's not irony, I'm really interested. Of course, if you really don't want to say it, forget it, anyway, I can always find myself desired answer."

"Damn! You look exactly like your mother now!" Chen Song, who was originally emotionally unstable, was suddenly irritated, and his eyes were instantly bloodshot.

He will never forget the woman who once made him feel frustrated, painful and hopeless.

"Ah! You are angry. It seems that I really want to touch your pain. But are you sure you really don't want to say it? Or do you want me to listen to another version, a version that will be very harmful to you?" Zhang Cheng Laughing threateningly.

"Shut up!" Chen Song roared angrily.

He was trembling with anger, trying to suppress the raging anger in his heart.After two or three minutes, I gradually calmed down, and said in a tone full of frustration: "You don't understand at all! You don't understand your mother's true face. Believe me, you won't understand anything until you start to really understand her. It's a real hell."

"Hahahaha! You think I'm still a child kept in the dark, don't you? But in fact, I know very well what kind of person my mother is, whether it's her ambition or her pathological strong desire to control .” Zhang Cheng laughed and told the truth.

"You...you know?!" Chen Song was dumbfounded.

"Yes, I know, and I am still helping her realize her dream and build a huge business empire. Maybe you don't know it well, her company will be listed on Nasdaq in a few months, and the market value is likely to It will exceed tens of billions of dollars, and I hold 20.00% of the original shares of this company. Now you still think I am a kid who doesn't understand?" Zhang Cheng teased with a playful face.

Hearing this sentence, Chen Song finally realized that the young man standing in front of him was no longer the son he had expected and imagined, and murmured to himself in a trembling voice: "So that's how...you became her accomplice... Become a bastard who will do anything to make money..."

"That's right! You are an idealist, an escaper who is never willing to face the cruelest side of the world, maybe you have a little spiritual and moral obsession. Researching and protecting marine animals? What a ridiculous profession! Could it be that you forgot Is the survival of the fittest in Darwin's theory of evolution? In the natural environment, any creature must experience cruel competition. If the number of a certain species decreases sharply, it can only mean that the evolution rate of the species is too slow to keep up with the changes in the living environment , and human intervention can only slow down this process at most, and cannot change the doomed ending at all..."

"Fart! God! What did your mother teach you! The demise of those animals is entirely caused by human activities! It has nothing to do with them!" Chen Song retorted loudly through gritted teeth.

"Aren't humans part of nature?

The survival of the fittest is an eternal law, and has nothing to do with whether humans appear or not.

Since those creatures cannot adapt to the new environment, let them perish, just like trilobites, dinosaurs, mammoths, saber-toothed tigers and so on in ancient times.

The reason why you are engaged in marine animal protection is not to satisfy your poor vanity and sense of moral superiority, and keep implying that you are a person who is noble and great and out of vulgar interests?

Don't be too quick to deny it!

In fact, all charitable activities in the world are essentially motivated by three motives.

The first is to establish a good personal and corporate image, making people feel that they are a good person or a responsible company, so as to achieve the purpose of earning more wealth.

The second is to satisfy one's own vanity and sense of superiority, and enjoy the praise and flattery from ordinary people.

As for the third type, it’s just that the brain is completely broken, and I feel from the bottom of my heart that I am engaged in a great cause, in order to save the world and human beings, and gain satisfaction from self-recognition.

Tell me, which one do you think you are? "
