cheap stand-in

"I'm not partial to him." After being dazed for a long time, Tong Sheng popped out such a sentence unwillingly.

"Really? Then do you dare to look into your father's eyes and swear that you really don't care about him at all? Do you dare to say that you really don't have him in your heart?"

Tong Sheng raised his head and looked at Tong's father. He really wanted to tell his father that he didn't want to care about that man, but he didn't know why when he saw his father's playful eyes, what he was about to say was just saying not coming out.

Tong's father had already guessed that he would have such a reaction, so he just laughed, "You can't let go of your heart, so don't be duplicity, just care about it, and it's nothing, in fact, you don't have to." Feeling entangled, you have loved this man for so many years, it is really so easy to let go, since you can't let go, then accept it.

You said before that you were always worried that Lei Jinyan would not be able to get along with you in the long run, and you were worried that one day he would abandon you again, and you would not be able to bear it.But what happens in the future is not up to us.

For example, we all know that one day in the future we are all going to die, so since we all know that we are going to die, why are we still working so hard to live?Yes or no?You have to know that I live to enjoy the process, not to be entangled in the result all the time.

No matter what happens to him in the future, as long as you enjoy the process, you are worried that Lei Jinyan will change his mind in the future, why haven't you thought about it, maybe one day you will be the one who dislikes him first, or the one who chooses to leave?So, listen to your father, don't be petty, and don't think about what you have and what you don't have. If you like it, take it quickly. Don't really scare people away, and you will be the one who will cry. "

"Who will cry? He will only cry when he sees hell." Tong Sheng blushed and continued to argue stubbornly.

"Okay, okay, don't argue anymore, let alone be angry with yourself down here, go upstairs and call him later, and make it clear."

Tong Sheng was directly driven back to the room by Tong's father, and after returning to the room, he was hesitant with his mobile phone.

Lei Jinyan found out the number very quickly, but he just looked at the number and wanted to press it several times, but finally held back.

This really hit the past, what to say?Confession?Or just let him accept himself and communicate with himself?

None of them seemed appropriate, after all, they just had such a violent quarrel just now, and he just called to talk about this hastily, so what would he think of himself?Will there be a feeling of special price drop?

No matter how Tong Sheng thought about it, he felt that something was wrong, and in the end he stopped calling at all.

Didn't you mean to wait until his birthday to make a decision for him?Then wait until that day.

……

Until Tong Sheng's birthday, the two of them hadn't contacted each other again.

On this day, Father Tong had someone prepare longevity noodles and a table full of delicious food as in previous years.

Ji Nian didn't go to the company, and celebrated Tong Sheng's birthday with Tong's father.

The three of them were sitting at the dining table. Tong Sheng was eating longevity noodles with chopsticks, but he was obviously absent-minded. Although his eyes were fixed on the noodles in the bowl, his thoughts had drifted to nowhere. Almost stuffing it up his nose, Tong's father couldn't stop laughing, which made Tong Sheng embarrassing.

After finally finishing the noodles, Father Tong couldn't bear it anymore.

"Are you saying that you are so anxious? It's only noon, and you can't wait? This person said he would wait for you, and he won't run away. If you can't wait, then call him quickly and let him Come pick you up."

"No." Tong Sheng replied firmly.

"If you don't call, I'll call." Tong's father said that he was going to get his mobile phone, and Tong Sheng hurried forward to stop him when he saw the situation.

"Father, you are not allowed to give it."

Seeing Tong Sheng's nervous look, Tong's father was puzzled at first, and then guessed: "I said, it's possible that you haven't called him all this time!"

"Then he hasn't called me yet, why should I have to call him?" Tong Sheng said a little unconvinced.

He originally thought that if the man called him during the period, then he would definitely have made things clear to him, but what he didn't expect was that from the time they parted that night until his birthday, this man was in a daze. Never called him.

The more he was like this, the angrier Tong Sheng felt, and if he couldn't get along with it, the more impossible it was for him to make this call.

"I said, you child, why do you have to compete in everything? I didn't just tell you. If you continue to compete so much and don't know what to fight for, then people will run away. It's okay, I know that you are already in your heart. I can't wait any longer, don't try to be brave, change your clothes and go find him!"

As Tong's father said, he took Tong Sheng upstairs to change clothes.

No matter how much Tong Sheng denied it, Tong's father no longer took his words seriously, anyway, he would treat him as duplicity.

After being ridiculed by Tong's father, Tong Sheng was too embarrassed to say anything.

Tong Sheng picked out a dress he was more satisfied with and changed into it, thinking in his heart how he would go to find Lei Jinyan later.

Lei Jinyan only said that he was waiting for him at the seaside resort, but where exactly?He hadn't asked anyone to investigate the resort because of his anger before, but now he wanted to go to that resort, but he didn't know how to get there. Would it be too late for someone to investigate now?

It must be too late!

This damned man doesn't know what's going on, and he won't explain the matter clearly to him!

I just don't want to take the initiative to call this man, but what if I don't know the address?

Tong Sheng was a little distressed, but he quickly thought of someone.

Chen Yi, who has been by Lei Jinyan's side all the time, must know where the resort is!

Thinking of this, Tong Sheng suddenly felt confident, and his originally frowning brows also relaxed.

But Tong's father, who had been helping Tong Sheng turn over the watch behind him, suddenly said, "I said son, didn't you give all of this watch to someone else? Why are you asking him to come back?"

"what?"

Father Tong's inexplicable words made Tong Sheng a little puzzled. When he turned around, he saw Father Tong take out a watch from the drawer. He took a closer look and found that it was Lei Jinyan who had returned it to him before. His piece.

"Is there something wrong with this watch?" Tong Sheng took the watch and looked at it, but there was nothing wrong with it!

"There is nothing wrong with this watch, but I remember that you gave it to Xiangnan before, why did you get it back from him now?"

Now Tong Sheng was surprised, "Did I give this watch to Xiangnan before? But how do I remember that I always wore it?"

"That's because I bought you another same watch later!" Seeing Tong Sheng's dazed expression, Tong's father knew that he hadn't remembered it at all, "You liked this watch so much back then, But you usually don't know how to cherish it, so you knocked out a small hole in the watch. In fact, the hole is really small, and you can't see it if you don't look carefully, but you are picky, a little bit You can't accept the flaws, so you begged me to get another piece for you.

This watch is a limited edition, and you don't know how much effort Dad spent for this watch.Later, when you bought a new one, you just threw the old one in the drawer.One time Xiang Nan came to play with you and saw him staring at the watch all the time, so he said he would give the watch to him.And Xiang Nan didn't dislike the blemish on the watch, so he happily accepted it.

At that time I asked him if he wanted to have it repaired to fill up the hole, but he said it was okay, and he still wore it all the time! " Father Tong looked down at the watch again as he spoke, and then said in surprise: "Why is the hole on the top missing?When did you make it up? "

At this moment, Tong Sheng suddenly remembered that when Lei Jinyan returned the watch to him, he did mention that the watch had a hole, but it was repaired.

Thinking of Lei Jinyan, the words he said to himself that day also jumped out.

He remembered what Lei Jinyan told him at that time, he found this watch at the scene of the fire, if it wasn't the one he was wearing, then this watch was actually the one he gave to Xiang Nan?If this is the case, then it means that Xiang Nan also went there that day, and it was because he went that the watch accidentally dropped there, but why did Xiang Nan go there?He never mentioned it either?

The more Tong Sheng thought about it, the deeper the frown became.

"Dad, did you remember wrongly, could this watch be the one I wore later?"

"How could I remember wrongly? Both watches are there, so I can still remember them wrongly."

Tong's father said, turning around and digging out another drawer, "Although our family was in trouble back then, fortunately one of my father's subordinates was still loyal. When my father was hospitalized, he helped put away all the valuable things. Later, he Knowing that I was fine, I returned all these things to me. Your watch happened to be there, and I saw it a few days ago, just wait, I will find it for you. "

Tong's father dug out for a long time, and found an identical one for him, "Look, this one was bought later, the one in your hand should be the one you gave to Xiang Nan! You haven't told Dad yet, why did this watch come to you again? Are you and Xiang Nan coming back?"

Tong Sheng didn't answer Tong's father, in fact he didn't know how to answer his father's question.

Originally, he thought he had worn it to Su Linfan's place and lost it. Later, Lei Jinyan helped him find it, but according to his father's wishes, he didn't wear the watch at all, let alone he lost it. of.

What he is most curious about now is why Xiang Nan also went to Su Linfan's house back then, and why he never told him about it.

"What are you thinking? Why don't you speak?" Tong's father saw that he was silent, and stepped forward to push him.

Tong Sheng came back to his senses, "No, I was thinking that since I have already found my own piece, let's see when I send the other piece to Xiangnan and send it back. I don't need two pieces of the same piece by myself."

The most important thing is that he must ask him clearly about what happened back then.

Tong's father didn't know some of these things, he just urged Tong Sheng to hurry up, don't make Lei Jinyan wait in a hurry.

When they went downstairs, Ji Nian hadn't gone out yet, and there was still a person standing in front of him. Tong Sheng remembered that this person was Ji Nian's right-hand man, and he would usually hand over important matters to him.

Tong Sheng has always been nothing but Ji Nian's affairs, so he just took a look at this moment, and prepared to leave without thinking much.

It's just that before he took a few steps, he was stopped by Ji Nian behind him.

"Xiao Sheng, wait a moment."

Tong Sheng stopped the hand that was about to make a call and looked back at Ji Nian, "What's the matter, uncle?"

Ji Nian looked at him and stood up from the sofa, "Come with me to the study."

While speaking, he also picked up a kraft paper bag from the sofa.

"What can't be said down here, you have to go to the study?" Tong's father asked a little puzzled.

"It's nothing serious, but there are some materials on it, so it's more convenient to go up and talk. Soon, we'll come down after we finish talking." Ji Nian comforted Tong's father and went upstairs.

"Then you guys have to hurry up, don't make Lei Jinyan wait too long."

Tong Sheng was also curious about what Ji Nian was going to tell him at this crucial point?

He checked the time, and it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. He was really anxious, so he hurried upstairs to finish it sooner.

As soon as he went upstairs, Tong Sheng asked anxiously, "Uncle, what's the matter?"

Ji Nian didn't speak in a hurry, but closed the door of the study, and then turned around to look at Tong Sheng, "Didn't you ask me to find out who tried to kill you before?"

After Ji Nian's reminder, Tong Sheng remembered that he had indeed asked Ji Nian to help investigate this matter.

Originally, Lei Jinyan said that he would take care of this matter, but Tong Sheng was still worried, so he asked Ji Nian to help.

Later, when I heard Lei Jinyan say that Su Linfan and his cousin did it, Lei Jinyan moved those people to other places. Tong Sheng thought it was over, but he didn't expect it Now Ji Nian has brought this matter up again.

"Lei Jinyan has investigated and said that his cousin's family did it."

"That's what he said?" Ji Nian raised his eyebrows slightly as he spoke, as if he didn't agree.

"Is not it?"

"You can't just look at some things on the surface, even when some people should be wary, you should also remember to be wary." Although Ji Nian didn't say it clearly, Tong Sheng is not a fool, so naturally he heard the meaning behind his words.

"Did uncle know something? Didn't uncle Lei Jinyan and the others do that thing? Does uncle know the mastermind?" Tong Sheng asked tentatively.

Ji Nian did not answer directly, but handed him the kraft paper bag that he brought up just now, "This is the information of the few people who wanted to bump into you that day, see if you still recognize it."

Tong Sheng took the bag, and quickly dug out the information inside, most of which were photos, except for the photos, it was about the people in the photos.

Tong Sheng only took a cursory look at the information, and his eyes were always on those photos.

To be honest, in the situation that day, the car was driving so fast and this person was so nervous, how could he have the time to pay attention to the specific appearance of those people? He looked at the people in the photo as if he were looking at a stranger.

But even so, he still looked at the photos seriously.

Suddenly, his movement of flipping through the photos stopped, and his calm eyes opened wide as if he had been greatly frightened.

"Uncle, are you sure it's these people?"

"Yes, it's all confirmed, it's these people."

After Tong Sheng heard this, he lowered his head again. He squeezed the photo in his hand, because of too much force, the photo was distorted, and the man with the scar on his forehead in the photo looked even more ugly and ferocious.
