054 going abroad

The study door kept rattling, Cheng Jing rubbed his eyes, put aside the computer and stood up to open the door.The golden retriever tilted its head and wagged its tail, looking at Cheng Jing with a pure and kind face.

Cheng Jing squatted down, stroking the golden retriever's head and neck vigorously, and the golden retriever raised its neck comfortably.Cheng Jing raised his head, looked at the empty room, and said, "Cheng Tong."

After a while, Cheng Tong stretched out his small head from the side. Seeing that Cheng Jing didn't show any impatient expression, he immediately showed his whole body and ran over, squeezing the golden hair away from Cheng Jing's arms.The golden retriever sneezed and looked up at Cheng Jing holding the child and standing up.

The child draws fast, but it happens to be very clingy.Cheng Jing struggled to hold her, took two steps and sat back on the chair, pinched the child's cheek, and said, "Why did you come up, is your mother okay?"

Cheng Tong shook his head, sat on Cheng Jing's body shaking his calf, and said, "Brother, don't stay in the study all the time, I'm afraid."

After taking care of Cheng Yumin's funeral, the woman fell ill. Cheng Jing spent the whole day dealing with other things in the study, and occasionally received a notice to go out to meet people from the procuratorate, and was still busy with the computer when she came back.He turned off his mobile phone, and blocked all the chat software on the computer except the mailbox. Only the landline in the study can still communicate with the outside world.

But Cheng Jing didn't take the initiative to pick it up.

Cheng Yumin did not have a funeral, and in the deserted small mourning hall, Cheng Jing had a quarrel with a woman.He didn't allow a woman to see Cheng Yumin off. The woman said that after all these years, at least she still had some affection, and told Cheng Jing not to go too far.When Cheng Jing looked at her with cold eyes, her voice was also cold: "To this day, don't you have any regrets at all?"

In order to prevent serial confession, everyone's investigation is independent.If the procuratorate hadn't disclosed Cheng Yumin's charges, Cheng Jing would not have learned that Cheng Yumin was the "principal" in the newspaper that day.After the woman was released, Cheng Jing knew that the reason why the death notification call was directly to him was because the woman and Cheng Yumin were not legally married.

It's all so ridiculous.

Cheng Jing's first thought was that Cheng Yumin allowed women to do things like that because of this unfulfilled status.But in fact, in such an unclear relationship, he, Cheng Yumin and even that woman have had enough of being wronged.

He never imagined that a strategist like Cheng Yumin could do such a foolish thing.

One thing is more confused than the other.

The assets of the Cheng family are still under investigation, and all the property involved in the case will be confiscated, and the results of those that are not transferred according to law and those that are frozen have not yet been dealt with.But Cheng Jing wants to keep her mother's inheritance, and has been busy these days, even staying in the study all day without moving a single step.At this moment, after being reminded by Cheng Tong, he felt very tired all over his body.

Cheng Jing leaned back against the back of the chair, closed his eyes and let go for a few seconds, Jiang Chuan's figure rushed in, shaking his soul, opened his eyes again, and returned to reality.

The golden retriever twirled around his feet, stood up and rested its front paws on the edge of the seat, tenderly licking the back of his hand encircling the child.The child stared at him with a pair of dark eyes, reached out his hand to touch his eyes, and said sobbingly: "Brother, you are going to become a giant panda."

Cheng Jing picked up the tube-shaped eye cream in the pen container, and Cheng Tong snatched it quickly, saying, "Brother, I'll help you."

The child was still sitting on Cheng Jing's body, squeezed out some eye cream from the roller, then squeezed the thin tube, and carefully applied it under Cheng Jing's eyelids.The rolling ball has a slight massage effect on the face, and the child carefully presses it down, holding his breath and concentrating.

Cheng Jing suddenly pinched his nose, causing the child to cry out.Cheng Jing smiled and said, "Why are you holding your breath?"

"Brother, don't move around." Cheng Tong let out a long sigh of relief, put his arms around Cheng Jing's neck, and said cheerfully, "Brother, praise me! "

"Praise you, praise you." Cheng Tong has always been restless and impatient, Cheng Jing smiled and kissed the child on the face, "Our Cheng Tong is getting better and better."

Cheng Tong fluttered in Cheng Jing's arms for a while, then shook his little feet to tease the golden retriever, and said, "Brother, mom said we're going to move out, right?"

Cheng Jing: "Yes."

Cheng Tong: "Then the three of us will live together?"

Cheng Jing didn't speak, watching the child wagging his legs to tease the golden retriever.

Cheng Tong didn't notice it, and continued to talk about his appeal: "I will let my mother not quarrel with my brother. Let's not quarrel in the future, okay?"

Cheng Jing still didn't speak.The child turned around to look at him pitifully: "Brother, don't you want to be with me?"

Cheng Tong's eyes slowly filled with tears.

A child who doesn't understand anything, has no concept of life and death, and will regard every separation as an opportunity to meet again.When Cheng Yumin was being sent in for cremation, he held his brother's hand and sat in the waiting room where the ghosts were about to escape. Tong Yan said, "When I miss my father, can I take the train to see him?"

Cheng Jing said in a calm and hoarse voice: "Cheng Tong, your father has passed away, and you will only see him in your dreams from now on."

The child looked at him and nodded ignorantly: "Will Dad come to me when he misses me?"

Cheng Jing said: "When Dad misses you, he will appear in your dreams."

The child groaned, and said unconsciously: "Father thought of me, brother also thought of me, thought of it several times, yoyo also thought of me."

Cheng Jing wants to tell the child what death is.But he couldn't form the words, the syllables got stuck in his throat, and he finally gave up.

Children don't understand death, they just feel parting is more unforgettable.Seeing that Cheng Jing hadn't spoken for a long time, all the tears finally flowed out, and he was out of breath from crying.Cheng Jing patted him on the back lightly, and said sorry softly: "Cheng Tong, when you grow up, if you still miss your brother, you can come to him. You must remember to bring money, the seat is given to the elderly and girls , Write down the license plate number when you take a taxi..."

Cheng Tong slept in Cheng Jing's bedroom at night, holding onto Cheng Jing's hand all the time.The golden retriever wanted to jump onto the bed, but Cheng Jing hissed softly.The golden retriever moved its paws away from the bed, and squatted silently beside it.When Cheng Tong fell asleep, Cheng Jing took out her hand, touched Jin Mao's head, and said in a low voice, "Take care of Cheng Tong."

Cheng Jing walked out of the bedroom, thought for a while, went into the cloakroom next to him, found a pair of slippers to put on, and then went to the study to print out the contract.A piece of A4 paper was slowly spat out, Cheng Jing glanced at the time, it was past nine o'clock.

He picked up the pen and red inkpad on the table, and went downstairs with the contract.The woman was packing her things while making a phone call, and all the items in the cloakroom were laid out.

Seeing Cheng Jing come down, the woman hung up the phone in a hurry, and asked a little cautiously: "Is Tongtong asleep?"

Cheng Jing hummed, threw the things on the sofa aside, sat down, and methodically placed the contract, pen and red ink pad in his hand on the table in front of him, and said straight to the point: "This is about raising Cheng Tong." The contract, in triplicate, you have a look."

It was rare for him to talk to a woman in such a calm tone. The woman picked up the contract hesitantly, glanced at it hastily, and her pupils dilated instantly: "1000 million?! All your father's property has been confiscated, why do you still have 1000 million? "

She was shocked and didn't have time to read the contract carefully, annoyed and aggrieved: "I have nothing...I have nothing..."

Cheng Jing looked at the woman who lost control of her emotions for a moment, and then sneered after a few seconds: "You haven't even got the identity of a wife, why do you want to get an inheritance?"

"Cheng Jing, I have been with your father for so many years, and I gave him the most precious years of a woman. For Cheng Tong..."

"For Cheng Tong?" Cheng Jing interrupted her lightly, "Okay, for Cheng Tong, then sign this contract. 1000 million, including all the benefits brought by 1000 million, will be yours. "

The woman was frightened, and re-read the terms of the contract half-believingly. After a while, she slammed the contract in front of Cheng Jing, and shouted heart-piercingly: "Cheng Jing, how can you be so vicious! I am Cheng Tong's biological mother, not you guys. The Cheng family hired a babysitter!"

The entire content of the contract is related to raising Cheng Tong.

As long as this contract is signed, the woman and Cheng Tong will be sent to the United States, and they will not need to struggle and worry about survival.When Cheng Tong is 25 years old and has his own business, the 1000 million that Cheng Jing gave them and all the profits derived from the 1000 million will be transferred to the woman's name.

But the premise of all this is that Cheng Tong must be admitted to the school designated by Cheng Jing, primary school, middle school, including university, and the final grade of each course must be A or above, and the GPA must be above 4.0.Achieve both good character and learning, good health, and self-control. Before the age of 20, there must be at least five skills in sports and art to obtain qualification certificates.If Cheng Tong shows interest in a certain field, let alone ignore it, but give him the greatest possible access to relevant knowledge.

After listing all kinds of requirements, the woman only felt that she would become Cheng Tong's personal nanny from now on. She was terrified by every word in the contract, and had trouble sleeping and eating.

She accused Cheng Jing angrily, but Cheng Jing said with a cold expression: "You are just to blame for this. When you dared to use Cheng Tong to blackmail my father and test me, you should have thought that such a day would come."

The woman stared at the boy sitting quietly on the sofa, unbelievable that someone under the age of 19 would have such vicious methods.

If she doesn't accept this contract, she won't get the 1000 million and lose Cheng Tong.He can continue to act, but he offended a lot of people by relying on Cheng Yumin's identity in the past, and he has no connections at all.

But if she accepts this contract, she will be terrified by Cheng Tong's every little accident from now on.Maybe Cheng Tong only scored 89 points in the test because of a cold, and she will lose the 1000 million.

No matter how she chooses, she will suffer all kinds of hardships and fall into a situation of physical and mental exhaustion.

But Cheng Jing wanted to continue stabbing her in the heart: "If you want to escape from my control, you have only one choice, to apply for political asylum. But you think——you are not my father's legal wife, and the procuratorate did not impose any severe punishment on you." Extorting a confession; as an actor, the fact that you were a mistress and gave birth to a child has never been exposed, so it cannot be said that you were murdered by public opinion; as for me, I gave you 1000 million—well, what reason do you want to apply for? Do you want to continue to help you think about it?"

He spoke lightly, but the woman was already flushed, angry and anxious: "It's too shameless, is it your pleasure to torture people? Your father has lied to me for so many years, and you are going to put me in this situation again!"

"I lied to you?" Cheng Jing looked at her, and said slowly, "You tried every means to give birth to Cheng Tong, just because of my father's status as rich and powerful, and all the tricks were exhausted. Haven't you thought about the inevitable risk of empty baskets?"

The woman said: "It was your father who betrayed the marriage, not me. Why should you hold grudges against me? So what if your father is rich and powerful? I gave birth to Cheng Tong in my early 20s, and I lost the best years of a woman Youth, you don't care about your own career and help your father take care of the family, and you don't even have a title in the end!"

"Is your status only in your eyes?" Cheng Jing said, "You are the hostess at home and out, and my father kicked me out for you, but you have been thinking about this status, and you have been fooling around in front of him time and time again. He made concessions for you. Do you think that a person like my dad is reluctant to give you a title? "

The woman was startled, but she didn't understand, and the grievance that had been suppressing in her heart was even more touched: "Mistress? On important occasions, everyone else shows up with their wives, but your father brings you! I don't want to see anyone at all!"

"He's protecting you!" Cheng Jing finally couldn't bear it any longer, "Do you know how many cases of corruption involve couples committing crimes together? Do you think you can get away with the investigation of the property involved in the case more than ten years ago? If you don't After giving birth to Cheng Tong, he will give you a sum of money at most, leaving you clean. But you insist on this identity, insist on jumping into prison by yourself! You should be glad that he didn't let you spend money lavishly and use your connections Let you continue to go out to film and show. As a public figure, suspected of money laundering and jailed, do you think you can stand up after you come out?"

"What?" The woman was shocked, "Your father... knew that he couldn't escape?"

Maybe they can escape, Cheng Jing thought sadly.Since Cheng Yumin is willing to keep the woman by his side, it proves that there is still a glimmer of hope.

This was originally a gamble, mortgaging his wealth and life, but Cheng Yumin couldn't escape it.He left the people around him clean, preferring to be misunderstood.Cheng Jing realized this sadly, but it was too late.

At five o'clock in the afternoon the next day, the people hired by Song Yang came to pick up the woman and Cheng Tong on time.

At that time, Cheng Jing was alone in the study on the second floor, and the door of the study was closed.There was a knock on the door all the time, and Cheng Tong called his brother until his voice was hoarse.

I don't know how long it took, but the knocking on the door finally stopped.Cheng Jing closed the laptop, staring blankly at the mobile phone on the desk shelf.When saying goodbye to the dazed and shocked Jiang Chuan at the train station that day, Cheng Jing looked at the passing scenery outside the window and felt that fate was playing tricks on them.

He got up and opened the door.

Cheng Jing was the only one left in the huge room.The golden retriever squatted outside the door, with its forelimbs upright, looking at its owner innocently and tenderly, with a blue post-it stick in its mouth.

Cheng Tong's handwriting was huge and crooked: brother, I kissed yoyo a hundred times.From now on, when yoyo kisses you, it's me kissing my brother.

The author has something to say:

I originally planned to save two chapters on the weekend, but I had to move bricks temporarily. I won’t update it tomorrow, but it should be possible the day after tomorrow.Anyway, Jiang Chuan will appear in the next chapter.

The plots of these chapters were written in one go, with many twists and turns, but in fact, although I don’t have an outline, the plot in my mind is light-years faster than my hand speed, and the plot twists have been done in advance Foreshadowing and hinting.For example, Cheng Yumin mentioned Jiang Chuan several times, and made a conclusion about Jiang Chuan without meeting him, because he knew Jiang Chuan a long time ago.

Now that this article is written, there is no list recommendation, and my idea has become very simple, just to finish writing it.

When I first conceived it, I wanted to divide it into two volumes or three volumes, representing several stages of the relationship between Jiang Chuan and Cheng Jing.Cheng Jing's choice and Jiang Chuan's changes are the reasons why I must write till the end, otherwise this story is boring in my personal understanding, not worth writing or watching.

I didn't expect Jiang Chuan to be such a person at first, he seemed to be a particularly good person.But he has an obvious shortcoming, which is shown through his sister Jiang Xing.Jiang Chuan will realize later and become a more attractive person.

Thank you for your support, I will try to finish writing this year.
