why do you like me

050 back

Cheng Jing's cell phone was completely turned off that night.Gradually, various news came out, all related to Cheng Yumin.Jiang Chuan only met Cheng Yumin once. Although his aura was so strong that it made him tremble, he actually looked very kind. He couldn't believe those rumors.

He knew that the relationship between Cheng Yumin and Cheng Jing was not very good, but this was Cheng Jing's father, the only relative.

However, two days later, the official news officially came out that Cheng Yumin was being investigated by the organization because of violations of discipline.Everything can no longer be concealed.

Jiang Chuan and Nan Xichi were in the logistics park that day.He had just returned from delivery early in the morning, and he was a little tired, but he just couldn't rest, and was very worried about Cheng Jing.There was an old man lying on a forklift with the door open, with a radio listening to the morning news.Jiang Chuan and Nan Xichi were sitting on the stone pier next to them, chatting casually, when they suddenly heard Cheng Yumin's name on the radio.

Nan Xichi didn't respond, Jiang Chuan froze for a moment, sat up straight suddenly, and stared fixedly at the forklift.The radio was turned on loudly, but the mechanical voice had already read "...the firm determination to oppose corruption and punish corruption with a zero-tolerance attitude..."

Jiang Chuan took out his mobile phone and entered Cheng Yumin's name to search, and it turned out that "according to relevant laws and regulations, some search results will not be displayed."

Nan Xichi finally came to his senses: "Is something really wrong?"

He was a little surprised: "The people at Qiaokou talk about these things all day long, why don't you go and find out."

"No." Jiang Chuan said without hesitation, "Do you want everyone to know that this corrupt official is Cheng Jing's father?"

But among those who knew Cheng Jing, at least half of them knew who Cheng Jing's father was.No matter how silent Jiang Chuan is, it cannot stop the rapid spread of rumors.

Originally, in the several groups he stayed in, everyone talked about eating, drinking and having fun every day, but these days they were discussing Cheng Jing.In the larger group, there was even Cheng Jing's account, but some people didn't seem to realize it and talked about it unscrupulously.

They used to say bad things in an afterthought way.Cheng Jing had already seen signs of spending a lot of money in the past, and in order to keep a low profile, he almost caused a broadcast accident on the TV station. All these kinds of things show the results of today.Jiang Chuan's eyes were burning, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he cursed directly.

He was very quiet this year, and his name only appeared on the honor roll, but his ruthless image has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and cannot be erased.After cursing and cursing, the group leader finally couldn't help but let out a sweaty expression: "Don't discuss these things, or I will disband the group."

A few girls also stood up to mediate: "If you have anything to do, Cheng Jing will help you as much as you can, and I don't ask for your gratitude. Not to mention that this matter has nothing to do with Cheng Jing, his father is just under investigation. In the end, if nothing happens, how are you going to swallow what you said today?"

In the past, when something happened in the school, the relevant posts in the post bar were deleted only after the administrator received the notice.This time when Cheng Jing's post was involved, the administrators spontaneously and silently threw it into the recycle bin.

These children are sincere and have the most optimistic expectations before the results come out, thinking that everything should be just a misunderstanding.Jiang Chuan also hoped so, but he knew soberly and cruelly that, judging from the current trend, the investigation of Cheng Yumin had been premeditated, otherwise he wouldn't even avoid the days of the college entrance examination.

A week later, Jiang Chuan finally received a call from Cheng Jing.

The boy's voice on the phone was still so calm, one could almost imagine his expressionless and calm appearance.He said, "Jiang Chuan, I'm at the scenic spot, and the pomegranates are blooming so beautifully."

When Jiang Chuan ran to the scenic spot, the pomegranate flowers were much more colorful than other places, and the leaves were covered with sunlight.Cheng Jing couldn't tell where she was, but only saw rows of vertical houses with the gates facing south.Jiang Chuan discerned the direction, and suddenly felt something was wrong: "Can you see the door? Are you on... the roof?"

He picked a narrow alley with no one there, jumped up and climbed up to the eaves, kicked hard with his feet, and went straight to the roof.The south side is the scenic street. He walked on the shady side to the north, and saw Cheng Jing sitting alone from afar.One leg of the boy was straight, the other was bent. He was dressed in black in the hotter June weather, with a ring of bright green on the tightly closed neckline, and his exposed skin was extraordinarily white.Hearing the footsteps of tiles colliding, he raised his head and looked over. There was a backpack next to him, his eyes were heavy, and he could not distinguish between joy and sorrow.

Jiang Chuan walked over and squatted in front of him, unable to describe his mood for a moment.Cheng Jing put his hands on his shoulders, and he hugged the boy in his arms.

"Are you all right?" Jiang Chuan asked.

Cheng Jing shook his head for a long time, and the sound of clothes rubbing against Jiang Chuan's ears made his whole heart arouse.The two looked at each other, and Cheng Jing said, "I have five villas under my name, all of which are in the United States."

Jiang Chuan: "..."

Jiang Chuan's heart was extremely shaken.Although he didn't naively think that Cheng Yumin was fine, but he still couldn't help being surprised when he heard Cheng Jing say that.Without reservation, Cheng Jing told all the details of her investigation, and finally said: "Dad has always been busy, and he didn't have the leisure time to buy gifts for me. Most of the money I spent was my mother's. My mother used to To avoid suspicion, the company opened in Hong Kong. But she did not divorce her father when she passed away, and the assets left by her are also being investigated...no results have been released yet."

He always had that calm look of not distinguishing between sorrow and joy, and said: "I don't know anything about all this, and the interrogation couldn't ask too many things. In addition, I have depression, so they let me out. But for a short time You can't appear on camera, you need to be on call. There is no one at home, and the only person I can think of seeing is you, Jiang Chuan."

He had a particularly bad life these past few days, he had cut off contact with everyone, and what was even worse was that even with the medicine on his body, he still collapsed uncontrollably at night, and he didn't even have the possibility of using cigarettes to numb himself a little.When I finally came out, there were not many belongings, and the phone had less than 10% of the battery left.

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but shave his face, forced out the dimples on his face, and said, "It's all right, come home with me, you still have a home."

He wanted to pull the boy up, but he couldn't.Cheng Jing was still sitting there, with his arms raised by him, and said expressionlessly, "Jiang Chuan, I don't want to see anyone."

He didn't read the comments on the Internet, but it's human instinct to escape after an accident.At this moment, the only thing he feels at ease is staying by Jiang Chuan's side.

Jiang Chuan did not continue to insist, and said, "Then wait for me for a while."

He walked to the southern eaves and shouted to familiar people in the street below: "Give me a broom."

He cleaned the roof with a broom, and then lay down with Cheng Jing.It was a hot day in June, and there was not a trace of white cloud in the sky. The two of them only covered their eyes with their arms, and occasionally called each other's name, and nothing happened after they got a "hmm".

The two of them lay down from morning to afternoon, and the sunlight turned a rose color mixed with gold.Jiang Chuan's stomach was rumbling with hunger. He lay down and looked at Cheng Jing, and said, "I'll take you to find a hotel farther away, and stay there after you have something to eat."

Cheng Jing remained motionless.

Jiang Chuan touched his face, it was white and soft, and it was a little hot from the sun.

Cheng Jing opened her eyes from under her arms: "I don't want to go."

He didn't want to go anywhere or meet anyone.He just wants to stay by Jiang Chuan's side, but he knows Jiang Chuan can't give up everything for him.He said: "I'm not hungry, you go to eat first... I'm very happy that you can come."

"Cheng Jing," Jiang Chuan pulled the boy up, "Who am I to you?"

Cheng Jing looked at him.

Jiang Chuan said viciously, "I can't do anything about your father's affairs, and I can't do anything about anyone else. But you, Cheng Jing, I have to take care of your affairs at least."

Cheng Jing looked at him non-stop.

I don't know if it's dizziness from lying down for a long time, or the color of the evening sky is too strong to be distorted, Cheng Jing feels that Jiangchuan at this moment will disappear at any time.He reached out and grabbed Jiang Chuan's hand, and finally found his own voice after a long time: "Song Yang is also under investigation...I don't know if you will be okay..."

"We didn't do anything, how could something happen?" Jiang Chuan looked at the boy's calm eyes that made him feel distressed, "Cheng Jing, I won't leave you anymore, you trust me too, okay?"

He didn't know that his voice became extraordinarily gentle. He held the boy's hand and asked if he was okay, which made Cheng Jing feel a sweet melancholy in his heart.Cheng Jing knew that Cheng Yumin would fall into the public's slander from now on, and his son would not be spared.It's just that he inevitably has to cast somewhere, there are no storms, and he doesn't care about right and wrong.

They walked on the roof for a while, and there was a lot of traffic and voices under their feet.Cheng Jing didn't speak, and Jiang Chuan seemed to be chattering: "You don't come home with me, you don't eat and you don't find a place to live, so what are you thinking? Are you going to join the beggar gang tonight? Shall I help you find it first?" Use a dog-beating stick to defend yourself."

"Why don't you go to Nanxichi? No one usually goes there." Jiang Chuan turned to look at the boy, and his eyes swept across the alley in the distance.The alley was narrow, and there was a small courtyard next to it. An old man was packing up the sundries and stood there looking at them.

Jiang Chuan waved his hand indifferently, and the old man suddenly waved at them.

Jiang Chuan: "..."

Cheng Jing looked over and said, "Isn't that the old man who sold lanterns during the Lantern Festival?"

The old man lived alone, and when the two of them touched it, the yard had been cleaned up and the old man was cooking dinner.The sky was dark, but the old man did not turn on the light. He squinted his eyes and poured oil into the hot pan. Two drops were enough.

Jiang Chuan fumbled on the wall for a while, but failed to find the switch. Instead, the old man walked up to him and flicked on the light—a thin rope was hanging by Jiang Chuan's ear. When the old man stretched out his hand, he thought To be beaten.

Jiang Chuan: "What do you want from us?"

The old man turned off the fire on the stove, went into the main room and took out a net bag, walked up to Jiang Chuan and said with a smile, "The few pineapples others gave me, I can't eat them, so here they are for you."

Pineapple, which is smaller than a fist, is very sweet, and the market price is more expensive than ordinary pineapples.Jiang Chuan clicked his tongue, glanced at Cheng Jing and said to the old man, "Whoever gave it to you, don't cut it up."

The old man went to cook with a smile, and said, "It's okay, I'll give it to you children."

Jiang Chuan looked back at the old man's house, suddenly thought of something, and said, "I'll let my friend sit here for a while, and I'll go to a fruit shop to peel it and get you a glass of pineapple juice."

He didn't wait for the old man to say anything, he squeezed Cheng Jing's palm, and walked out with big strides.Cheng Jing watched the old man cook in the kitchen, stir-fried cabbage and deep-fried tofu, which looked like a vegetarian meal.

Jiang Chuan came back soon, and couldn't help talking when he saw the vegetarian meal: "You eat too lightly, the old man eats more meat, so the bones won't hurt."

Of the five small pineapples, he squeezed three into juice, and cut the other two into slices and put them in a plastic box, which was placed next to the old man's dining table.The old man didn't say anything, and went to bring two white porcelain bowls with a smile, poured pineapple juice into them, and didn't drink it himself, just greeted the two children.

Jiang Chuan didn't argue with him, took a sip from the bowl, and said, "Grandpa, what else do you have to eat here? Can I cook something for my friend? We haven't eaten all day."

The yard is not big, but it is divided into two parts, one side is poured with cement and the other side is a vegetable field.The old man pointed to the vegetable field, and Jiang Chuan went over to pick some tomatoes, and made two bowls of rice with tomato and eggs in the kitchen.

The eggs passed through the oil for a while, and the fragrance was overflowing instantly.Jiang Chuan asked the old man to eat a little too, but the old man just nodded at him with a smile, and ate up his cabbage old tofu.

Before Cheng Jing finished eating, Jiang Chuan finished eating after a few mouthfuls. He pinched two pieces of pineapples and gnawed on them. He said to the old man with rolling eyes, "Grandpa, are you bored alone at night?"

The old man smiled and said, "Go to the stage and listen to two little songs, and then go to bed when you come back."

Jiang Chuan continued: "Grandpa, can my friend accompany you tonight?"

The old man looked at him with a smile.

Jiang Chuan didn't care about it: "Well, my friend, I don't have a place to stay today, so let him stay with you for one night. I'll pay you the price of the hotel."

When she came here, Cheng Jing said a few words, but kept silent after that.The old man looked at him with a smile on his face, without inquiring or curious, nodded and said, "I remember, kid, the handwriting is beautiful."

Cheng Jing lived in the old man's house like this.

Jiang Chuan went back at night, thought for a while, avoided Jiang Xing and said to Jin Min: "Mom, Cheng Jing is here."

Everyone in the street knows Cheng Jing's background.Now that something happened to Cheng Yumin, Cheng Jing was taken away as soon as he left the examination room. All kinds of rumors flew to Jin Min, but Jin Min just kept silent.

At this moment she asked, "Where is Cheng Jing?"

Jiang Chuan said: "He doesn't want to meet people, but he happens to know an old man over there in the scenic spot, and he lives there."

Jiang Chuan described the old man's appearance again, and Jin Min said oh, he knew him.She thought for a while, and then said: "The old man's house smells dirty, can Cheng Jing live there?"

"I don't know." Jiang Chuan looked at Jin Min, "I'll hug the quilt and go, I'm also worried about Cheng Jing's appearance."

When Jiang Xing fell asleep, Jin Min really packed a new quilt and asked Jiang Chuan to hug it.After walking away, Jiang Chuan looked back at the lights at home and thought: "Mom, I hope you can accept us one day... Then Cheng Jing will have a mother too."
