Confrontation

The air outside the iron net smelled clean, Xiao Xingyan took a deep breath.The car that picked him up had parked under the tree-lined road opposite for a long time. The late autumn sun was bright but not too warm. A faint smile warmed his heart.

The hands of the watch were frozen there, as if two years had never passed, it was just an intermission on the stage.

A hug in front of the car was like a return ceremony, and then the curtain was drawn back.

The residence was still kept clean and tidy, and he threw the coat on the bed, opened the curtains, and the sunlight came in through the glass, and the Central Park not far away was already covered in golden yellow.

Can't wait to hold that warm body into his arms, as if the long-dried blood vessels are flooding in again.

"When did you come?" Kissing the other party's neck, a little breath escaped from his lips and teeth.

The person to be kissed leaned against his chest, felt the warm heartbeat through the thin fleece, and replied softly, "Last week."

Xiao Xingyan tightened the strength of his arms and hugged him even tighter, "When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow." As he said, he turned his head and kissed Xiao Xingyan's lips, there was still a faint smell of tobacco between his lips and teeth, "So, today, I'm not going anywhere."

Those were a pair of eyes with a halo, hooking Xiao Xingyan's heart like hooks, staring at those eyes would give an illusion of falling into them, like moths jumping towards a raging fire, knowing death and still going.

A year later, it was still the same window, everything was packed in the suitcase, the curtains were drawn as a farewell to Central Park, and the second half of the stage began.

In the dark night, a feast is being held. In the dazzling world of jewellery, hiding a knife in a smile is an essential skill for everyone here.

Xiao Xingyan is definitely an uninvited guest at this banquet, face and innocence are the most important things in the business world.For face, all the distinguished guests present have given the Xiao family enough; for innocence, the existence of Xiao Xingyan is a stain on the Xiao family.

The M&A case three years ago was full of shady scenes, Xiao Xingyan's reputation was almost discredited, he was imprisoned for two years, and was exiled overseas by the Xiao family for another year. It can be said that he has been expelled from the current Vanity Fair.

"Mr. Xiao, it's a pleasure to meet you." Ye Junnan was dressed in a black suit, looking low-key and decent, maintaining a polite smile and appropriate elegance, unobtrusive but hard to ignore.

"Mr. Ye?... It's a pleasure to meet you." Xiao Xingyan looked around, looking at him with contempt and disdain, which he had already expected, after all, even his father never smiled at him tonight. "In such a scene, you should learn from them."

Ye Junnan glanced at him, closed his eyes and raised his glass to match with him. Before the crystal cup's clear and clear rhyme was exhausted, Ye Junnan asked in his lazy and slightly sandy voice, "Are they important? ?”

Xiao Xingyan smiled and took a sip of the wine. "I'm the least important."

"How is Brother Ling?" Ye Junnan asked lightly, as if it was just a small talk.

"Thank you for your concern. Mingxian is in good condition. The captives are blackmailing, and the kidnappers are asking for money. The two elders were really scared. I am far away in New York. If my mother was not too scared and called me, I would not be here now. know how."

"Fortunately. Fortunately, it was a false alarm."

Two months ago, Xiao Mingxian, the vice president of the Xiao Corporation, was kidnapped and immediately became the focus of the city's attention. That's why Xiao Xingyan was recruited back to China by Xiao Huaimin, and finally he paid a ransom to rescue Xiao Mingxian.Later, because of Xiao's mother, Lin Songzhi's repeated attempts to persuade her to stay, Xiao Xingyan was allowed to stay, and joined Dingxin to take up the idle position of administrative director.

Ye Junnan and Xiao Xingyan chatted and looked around, and found that Xiao Mingxian, the current CEO of Dingxin, was not present, and said with a smile, "Dingxin's new project spent a lot of money to build a landmark in the new urban CBD, which is also a sign of Dingxin's transformation from finance to real estate. The first real estate project, the crown prince was not able to attend, and Uncle Xiao seemed rather displeased."

Ye Junnan's gaze crossed the crowd and landed on Xiao Huaimin in the center of the venue, with a smile that was hard to tell whether he liked or disliked.

"Dingxin has been in finance for so many years, it's time to switch to business. Of course, my father hopes that Mingxian can attend, but my mother is still worried about her son.... If it's Ling Sheng, don't mind our Dingxin taking a share." Xiao Xing said with a smile words, but with a hint of provocation.

Ye Junnan turned his head to look at him, but his eyes suddenly became indifferent, but only for a moment, and he regained his previous calmness.

"Healthy competition. Good thing... My father is also happy to congratulate."

Looking from a distance, Xiao Huaimin and Ye Zhaotang were toasting, drinking and chatting happily. From time to time, they looked towards Ye Junnan and Xiao Xingyan. For the two young people who met for the first time, as fathers, they were complimenting each other and saying some polite words .

Vanity Fair has always been flashy and hypocritical, everyone is glamorous, and every organ is exhausted.Dingxin switched to the real estate industry with a high profile. As the leader of the real estate industry, Ling Sheng's congratulations can be said to be a strong alliance, or an oath of sovereignty.

And the existence of Xiao Xingyan and Ye Junnan are just crystal wine glasses at the banquet, they are insignificant.

After the banquet, we said goodbye to each other, and the seemingly peaceful communication, who knew that it was not a dark tide.

In the hotel room at one o'clock in the morning, looking at the windy street view through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the colorful lights are extraordinarily charming, wearing a nightgown and leaning against the window, as if standing halfway outside.

The door opened.The door slams.footsteps.Then, a figure walked towards him slowly with a smile, looking at the reflection on the window glass, Ye Junnan slightly raised the corners of his mouth, Xiao Xingyan took off his coat while walking, took off his tie, unbuttoned his collar, and followed the movement like flowing water , Hugged Ye Junnan who had been waiting here for a long time from behind.

"How long have you been waiting?" Xiao Xingyan said, kissing his neck, the very faint smell of tobacco brought back a long-hidden memory.

Ye Junnan still looked at the reflection on the glass, and reached out to caress Xiao Xingyan's cheek. "One year, three months."

The lazy and slightly hoarse voice is like blues, giving people a feeling of being slightly drunk. Xiao Xingyan is like an alcoholic, so addicted that he can't extricate himself.

"At the venue just now, I really wanted to hug Ri right away."

"Mr. Xiao, please restrain yourself." Ye Junnan's expression was not as restrained as his words, but full of provocation.

Xiao Xingyan turned his head and kissed him deeply.

Embrace.kiss.Demands.The picture of the memory is repeated.It seems that the sweetness and mellowness of Scotch whiskey still remain on the wet lips, and the elegance and grace of Blues are faintly lingering in the ears. This is a secret that no one knows, only a secret that belongs to spirits and alcoholics.

On a night in New York three years ago, it rained all day long, and the damp and cold air sucked into the lungs was abnormally cold. I spent the whole day facing the report in the office, and my swollen brain calmed down in such a cold night.

Pushing open the door, the slightly drunken blues drifted lazily into the ears. Located in a basement bar on Fifth Avenue, Xiao Xingyan was the only place where he could relax and have a drink to drive away his fatigue.

"Vodka, ontherock." Xiao Xingyan sat down by the bar and whispered to the familiar bar owner.

The boss is a black man in his 50s who is silent.The bar is small, it only plays blues, and it only sells real alcohol, so there are no bartenders and guys.

Xiao Xingyan has been in New York for more than a month. For the company's listing on the American Stock Exchange, he has been working hard for a month. Passing by here, he heard the faint sound of music and the old and flickering bar sign. Since then, a glass of pure vodka after work has become a little leisure time for him every day.

As soon as the vodka with only ice cubes entered the throat, it felt like it was burning, and the whole person suddenly became hot.

Xiao Xingyan took off his coat and put it on the back of the chair, drinking wine quietly, listening to the smokey voice singing the blues, his nerves slowly relaxed.

"Usquebaugh."

A voice sounded in the ears, as if it was blended with the blues, rustling against the eardrums.

The eyes of the black boss and Xiao Xingyan stayed on the person in front of the bar at the same time. He was wearing a gray woolen overcoat. At this moment, he was taking off the black scarf with his pale hands. cool.

The reason why the black boss stopped looking was because he ordered a glass of pure Scotch whiskey, but he didn't look like a person who likes strong alcohol.

The man took off his coat and leaned on the back of the chair casually, sat on a seat away from Xiao Xingyan's chair, took out a pack of cigarettes wrapped in black from his pocket, Xiao Xingyan glanced slightly sideways, that The man was picking up the candle on the bar and lit the CIGARONNE. The long cigarette holder was clamped on his fingertips, and a faint smoke was exhaled between his lips and teeth, and then he mixed it with the golden Scotch whiskey in the glass and sucked it into his mouth again.

Xiao Xingyan's relaxed nerves were tensed at that moment, a strange Asian man was in close proximity, strong alcohol, cigarettes, and blues, so sexy that his whole body was boiling.

"one person?"

After saying these three words, Xiao Xingyan was stunned, thinking that I must be drunk.

"Alone...how about you?"

"Me too."

Xiao Xingyan pretended to be calm.After all, the other party is so calm.

The other party raised his glass, then took a sip, looking at his Adam's apple sliding slightly, Xiao Xingyan felt sweat seeping out of his palms.

"Work? Travel?"

Xiao Xingyan asked as if chatting, but regretted in his heart how he asked like a household registration checker.He hurriedly added, "It's a little kind when I meet my compatriots." After adding, I felt that I was even lower, so I had to take a sip of wine and pretend to be calm.

The other party smiled slightly and said, "It's... work."

Then, what they talked about, Xiao Xingyan had almost no memory, and then, they left the bar together.

With alcohol, indulgence seems to become a matter of course.After one night, Xiao Xingyan only saw the pack of CIGARONNE on the table, which proved that last night was not a dream. He slept with a man who didn't even leave his name.

For the next week, he went to the bar at that point every day, but instead of ordering vodka, he drank Scotch instead, but unfortunately, that person never appeared again.

When we met again, at a luncheon, Xiao Xingyan knew his name and identity, the executive vice president of Lingsheng Real Estate, Ye Junnan.

"What are we? A one-night stand?"

"What do you think?"

"If I say, I want to fall in love with you, will you believe me?" Xiao Xingyan looked confident, his whole body exuded hormones.

Ye Junnan remained calm and calm, as if his rhythm would never be disturbed.

"Then do you believe it yourself?"

Xiao Xingyan approached fiercely, in the stairwell where no one passed by, Xiao Xingyan kissed Ye Junnan deeply, after the kiss, they breathed the air they had breathed between each other, Xiao Xingyan murmured, "I'm sure."

When he was in high school, Xiao Xingyan knew that it was impossible for him to marry someone in this life, because he liked men, and that was when he confessed to his parents, but his parents didn't blame him for it.

At that time, Xiao Xingyan believed in all the beautiful things in the world, family affection and love.

"I'm an orphan, adopted by the Xiao family." Speaking of this, Ye Junnan saw Yi's usual gentleness on Xiao Xingyan's face.

They were sitting next to each other in front of the fireplace, with snow falling outside the window, and it was the only Christmas, just the two of them.

"My mother was very kind to me. She always said that I was her benefactor, because my bone marrow saved Mingxian's life."

Ye Junnan listened silently. During the time they spent together, he was always the one who listened.Xiao Xingyan talked a lot that day. Since he was a child, about how he was adopted by the Xiao family and how he got along with his parents and younger brothers. Except for his father who was more serious and less talkative, what Ye Junnan heard was a mother's wholehearted love for an adopted child. Guan Ai, and a younger brother's dependence and even admiration on his elder brother, and these seem to have never happened in the Ye family.

"My dad and my mom don't like me."

It was rare that Ye Junnan mentioned something about himself.

The wine bottles on the coffee table were almost bottomed out, and the fire in the fireplace was burning very brightly. Ye Junnan and Xiao Xingyan were leaning against each other, sinking into the wide and soft sofa, Xiao Xingyan was embracing the person in his arms, and the soft cashmere sweater was hanging loosely on Ye Junnan Physically not very strong, at the moment he looks very lazy, but also very charming.

"When my mother was pregnant with me, my father cheated on me, and then their relationship was very tense. My father didn't like me and thought my mother used me to tie him. My mother didn't like me either, thinking it was because she was pregnant with me , my dad will go to find Xiaosan.... They have their own lives, and they are still husband and wife in name, but they are already enemies."

Ye Junnan blinked feebly, as if she was about to fall asleep.Xiao Xingyan stroked his hair, and kissed his forehead, as if to comfort him.

"...I don't believe in...love..."

After muttering softly, Ye Junnan really fell asleep.

Xiao Xingyan carefully moved his head to his shoulder, gently pulled the blanket over the back of the sofa, and covered each other, just leaning on each other like this.

"It's enough to trust me." Xiao Xingyan whispered, leaning on Ye Junnan and closing his eyes.

Beautiful things are always fragile, half a month later, all the good things that Xiao Xingyan believed in were shattered, completely.

"Mr. Xiao, all the documents are signed by you. You also registered the shell company that was backdoored and listed. You discussed several merger and acquisition projects and have nothing to do with Dingxin."

The lawyer sent by the Xiao family couldn't be more clear.

Xiao Xingyan finally understood that Xiao Huaimin's real purpose for letting him come to New York was not for Dingxin's listing on the American Stock Exchange, but to pull him down from the position of Dingxin's CEO. To the Xiao family, he was always just An outsider, and since he was elected by the shareholders as the president of Rehang, he has become the thorn in Xiao Huaimin's most eager to get rid of.

When Ye Junnan got the news, Xiao Xingyan had already accepted the sentence and was imprisoned.

This was unexpected by Ye Junnan, after all, in his plan, the value of Xiao Xingyan's existence was very important.

They had been separated for several months, but when they met again, they were separated by bars, surrounded by police surveillance.

Xiao Xingyan looked haggard, his eyes lost their former confidence and turned gray and cloudy.

"Being put together by the Xiao family, is that how you recognize it?"

"Is that why you came to tell me this? I thought you came to see me." Xiao Xingyan smiled wryly as he said that.

Ye Junnan said coldly, "Xiao Xingyan, if you just admit it like that, we're done for....I won't waste time with a wimp."

"You are really cruel."

"Don't act like you've been wounded. It's your own business. Don't expect me to comfort you."

Xiao Xingyan suddenly laughed, "I've seen the things you gave me. Sigh... 20 years ago, he tricked me into Xiao's house to donate bone marrow to his son. I always thought that Mingxian was sick after I was adopted. Yes, it turns out that he has been ill for a long time." As he said that, Xiao Xingyan seemed to be relieved, and leaned back on the iron chair stretched, his eyes became much brighter. gone."

Ye Junnan twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, still not showing too much emotion.

His thoughts returned to the present from three years ago. After the aftertaste, Ye Junnan soaked his tired body in hot water. Sometimes he liked to sink himself in the bathtub. The sound of the world isolated by water became blurred, and everything he saw was blurred. So clear again.

Xiao Xingyan walked in, leaned over and submerged in the water, kissed Ye Junnan's lips, and then picked him up from the water, the kiss that exhausted all the air in the lung cavity made the brains of both of them go blank for a moment.

"Don't do this in the future. How dangerous." Xiao Xingyan pulled Ye Junnan up, wrapped him up in a bath towel. "Don't soak it for so long anymore, the water is cold."

Xiao Xingyan turned up the temperature of the air conditioner, brought a hair dryer from the bathroom, and turned on the soft wind to help him dry his hair.

"KK told me that he has already contacted Dingxin."

Xiao Xingyan smiled, after a whole night, it was finally time to start talking about serious business. "Yes....virtual currency is in the limelight now, even if Xiao Huaimin is not tempted, Ming Xian will definitely."

"No exchange rate circulation. The Federal Reserve allows you to play like this. You and KK have done a lot this year." Ye Junnan's praise was still indifferent.

"It's all thanks to Xiao Huaimin. If I hadn't been in prison, I wouldn't have known KK. How could such a fun thing happen."

"Aren't you afraid that Yankees will also be played into it, and it won't end well?"

"The Yankees wanted to have fun from the very beginning, they wanted to make money, and so did I." Xiao Xingyan turned off the hair dryer, gently rubbed Ye Junnan's soft hair, and said with a smile, "What you should worry about now is how to make Ling Sheng also entered the game. After all, your elder brother doesn't like to participate in this kind of games that require IQ, and your father dotes on him to the extreme."

Ye Junnan raised his hand and patted Xiao Xingyan's away, turned to look at him, and said coldly, "In order to ensure the smooth progress of the plan, we should not meet again, Mr. Xiao."

Saying that, Ye Junnan got up and was about to change clothes and leave. Xiao Xingyan pulled him into his arms and whispered into his ear, "You are so cruel. It's been so long since we met, and I haven't smelled enough of your body. .”

"Let go. Are you a dog?"

"I am. I just want to bite this bone. Woah!"

As Xiao Xingyan said, he bit Ye Junnan's collarbone, leaving a red mark.

Soon, Ye Junnan got the news from his elder brother Ye Junbai.

Ye Junbai's voice was always the only one at the Ye family's dinner table, not because of his loud voice, but because Ye Junnan knew that his words would not please his father.

"Dad, have you heard? Recently, there is an American financial group that cooperates with many consortiums to create some kind of virtual currency." Ye Junbai said, taking a sip of red wine.

Ye Zhaotang filled a bowl of soup, took two sips, put down the bowl and asked, "Who did you listen to?"

It was Ye Junbai who asked, but his gaze fell on Ye Junnan. Ye Junnan pretended not to feel the stinging gaze at all, and ate his meal without saying a word.

"My buddies all said that this thing is good.... Oh, Dad. I heard from my friend that the Xiao family has also joined the gang." Speaking of the Xiao family, Ye Junbai was obviously a little annoyed, "Xiao Huaimin, old boy, play Go invest in his stocks, come to our site to intervene, and make it clear that he will not give face to the Ye family. And his son, what kind of elite style is playing, he will not come out to play a few times after inviting him back, look down on anyone."

Ye Junbai's arrogance and debauchery are entirely due to Ye Zhaotang's doting, sometimes Ye Junnan can't figure out how he is worse than him, is it really because he is born a little recited?

"Jun Nan, what do you think?" Ye Zhaotang asked coldly.

"Yes, yes, second child, you have a good brain, can you tell me about this virtual currency?"

Ye Junnan put down his chopsticks, remained silent for a while, and said, "Virtual currency has actually been developed by financial banks in the United States a long time ago, but the scope is relatively small, limited to financial transactions, and has not expanded to industries. The Federal Reserve has also promoted it in recent years, roughly It is hoped that the virtual currency can be promoted as a currency in circulation, just like the euro can circulate in EU countries without exchange rate differences.”

Ye Zhaotang listened quietly, while Ye Junbai frowned more and more, and asked impatiently, "Is it okay or not? Can it make money?"

"I think it's risky.... After all, if you want to convert real money into virtual currency transactions, if the virtual bank crashes, the virtual currency may become worthless." Ye Junnan paused, glanced at Ye Zhaotang, and added Dao, "However, for transactions, no exchange rate circulation is indeed very attractive. Moreover, if you can obtain a certain credit line in virtualbank, you can trade almost without investing real funds."

When Ye Junbai heard that he could trade without spending money, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said with a smile, "Oh, I'll go, no wonder that old boy Xiao Huaimin is so eager to strike up a conversation with that Yankee...Dad, we must not miss this opportunity Ah, my buddies said that this time, the Yankee consortium only opened some accounts in China, and we may not be able to grab it if it is too late."

"Dad, brother. I still think we should be more cautious."

Ye Junnan has always been a cautious person, Ye Zhaotang is very clear about this, so Ye Zhaotang believes in his analysis.

"We'll talk about this at the company tomorrow."

Ye Junbai was in high spirits. After eating, he drove out again in a blink of an eye. He spent more time in the nightclub than in the company.

After taking a shower, Ye Junnan sat on the bed, picked up her phone and flipped through the front page, when Xiao Xingyan's call came in suddenly.

"What are you doing?"

"At this point, what else can I do. I'm going to sleep."

"Mingxian and KK met today."

Ye Junnan smiled shallowly, through the phone, Xiao Xingyan's voice was a little unreal, but his confidence could still be heard. "KK's drama is so good, meeting each other, doesn't it mean it's done."

"Mingxian has this idea, but my father is not easy to deal with."

"Hmm." Ye Junnan hummed sullenly.

Xiao Xingyan's voice became much softer, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

"My mother brought up the divorce with my father today. The three of them talked in the study for a long time." Ye Junnan looked a little tired, more lonely.

"Are you sad?" Xiao Xingyan asked softly.

"I'm used to it." Ye Junnan thought it was easy and natural to reply.

"Go to sleep when you're tired."

Xiao Xingyan said with unprecedented tenderness, and hung up the phone reluctantly.

A week later, on the financial headlines, reports of the American consortium Zhuo Rui's strong presence in the financial industry scattered like snowflakes, and the name of the Chinese-American Kang Ke became the focus of attention of all the consortiums in the city.

After Xiao Xingyan returned to China, Dingxin convened a major shareholder meeting for the first time in addition to the regular shareholders' meeting. Of course, Xiao Xingyan, who is the executive director, was not present.

"Old Xiao, don't say that our shareholders are conservative, it's because this matter is too risky." Ou Jianping, one of the major shareholders present, spoke first, "Ming Xian is so young, he wants to make some achievements. Of course we are in favor, but we have to weigh the risks of this matter.... At the beginning, when you said you wanted to start a real estate business, we still supported it, but this time is different. What kind of virtual bank is this? Are you sure? The threshold for becoming a member is so high, if something happens, our capital chain will be trapped, and the land in the new urban area has not been secured yet."

Xiao Mingxian looked at his father, in such a meeting, his sense of presence was extremely low, all the uncles came, he basically couldn't say anything.

Xiao Huaimin nodded with a smile on his face, "Ou Ou, and the older brothers, don't worry. Give the young people a chance to speak and listen to their thoughts. After all, the world from now on will still belong to them." With that, Xiao Huaimin gave Xiao Mingxian a wink.

At this moment, Xiao Xingyan is in his office, he can fully imagine the situation in the meeting room, the major shareholders of Dingxin are all cunning, Xiao Mingxian is like a little rabbit in front of them, but in the end Zhuo Rui's membership will definitely Will join because Siu Ming Xian has a more crafty father.

The shareholder meeting lasted until noon. When Ou Jianping left, his face was not very good. Before leaving Dingxin, he said to Xiao Mingxian, "I hope you don't let us down like your big brother."

After sending off the shareholders, Xiao Xingyan received a call from Xiao Huaimin and asked him to go to the CEO's office on the top floor. As he expected, Xiao Huaimin was going to question him.

"Did you ask Mingxian to do the cooperation with Zhuo Rui?" Xiao Huaimin was sitting in front of the office, opposite to his two sons, his eyes were only indifferent and strict at the moment, because his question was aimed at Xiao Xingyan of.

Xiao Mingxian wanted to defend his eldest brother, but Xiao Huaimin stared back.

Xiao Xingyan replied calmly, "Dad, why do you ask such a question? Ming Xian is the executive vice president you appointed, you should trust him."

"Of course I believe in my son." Xiao Huaimin's tone was full of disdain for Xiao Xingyan.

"Dad!" Xiao Mingxian stopped his father loudly for the first time.

Xiao Xingyan was still indifferent, he would never hide his emotions in front of his father.

Xiao Huaimin turned his gaze to Xiao Mingxian, although he was still strict, but not indifferent. "I know you want to make some achievements, but I still have to ask again. Did your elder brother let you contact Zhuo Rui?"

Xiao Mingxian sighed helplessly, he couldn't figure out why Xiao Huaimin would target his elder brother like this, could it be because of the American case.

"Dad. Brother did not lend my hand to do anything. It is my idea to cooperate with Zhuo Rui. I have done my homework and studied Zhuo Rui's performance in the United States. I am sure that this is a good opportunity and can be given to Ding Rui. Credit will add points." Xiao Mingxian desperately wanted to ease the relationship between his father and his elder brother, and at the same time, he wanted to prove his ability too much. "Dad, didn't you always say that opportunities come with risks. As long as you control the risks well, opportunities are no longer just opportunities, but the first step to success....Brother has always asked me to have self-confidence, so I also hope that you Can trust me."

Xiao Xingyan patted Xiao Mingxian's shoulder with a gratified smile, while Xiao Huaimin's eyes were still indifferent and severe.

Xiao Huaimin hoped that Xiao Mingxian could really stand alone, so when Xiao Mingxian decided to invest in real estate, he resolutely supported it. Although he knew that doing so would probably lead to a bad relationship with Ling Sheng, in order to support his son, he Convinced the shareholders and invested a large amount of money, so he became extra cautious this time when cooperating with Zhuo Rui, because Xiao Mingxian's two actions have already made Dingxin invest almost all of the funds. The capital chain will be broken, which will lead to an unmanageable situation. On the other hand, what makes Xiao Huaimin feel uneasy is that Xiao Xingyan is back.

Xiao Huaimin sent Xiao Xingyan to prison three years ago to completely sever him from the Xiao family. Although it was only a short two-year sentence, for Dingxin, who leads the financial industry, innocence and reputation cannot be touched. It was Nilin who touched it, so Xiao Huaimin could exile Xiao Xingyan in a clear and honest manner.

As a father, Xiao Huaimin absolutely believed in and supported his son. Over the years, Xiao Xingyan's reputation in Dingxin has become stronger and stronger. Even someone as difficult as Ouqin trusted Xiao Xingyan. As an obstacle to Xiao Mingxian, the Xiao family's property must not be handed over to an adopted son, let alone an adopted son who exists to save Xiao Mingxian.

Xiao Mingxian was diagnosed with leukemia when he was five years old, and Xiao Huaimin and Lin Songzhi were not compatible, so Xiao Huaimin launched an orphan medical examination fund project in the name of Dingxin, which was called to let orphans accept The free physical examination was actually to find a suitable child for Xiao Mingxian among them, and Xiao Xingyan was selected.

Xiao Xingyan once felt that he was extremely lucky. He was abandoned by his biological parents, but God did not abandon him, allowing him to regain the warmth of his family. When he was adopted, he was so grateful that after more than a month, when he got Knowing that Xiao Mingxian was suffering from leukemia, and he happened to be able to save him, Xiao Xingyan felt that everything was arranged by the heavens. He was so happy, and felt that he could finally repay the Xiao family's kindness.

When he was locked behind bars and learned all the truth, Xiao Xingyan suddenly felt that he had lived for more than twenty years in vain.

revenge?Can't talk about it.

Xiao Xingyan just didn't want to be treated as a black goldfish to ward off disasters. Now that someone has already been convicted of having evil intentions, the defense is useless, so it's better to settle the charges, at least to be worthy of himself.

The car was parked in the parking lot of the hotel. Today is the business dinner hosted by the Xiao family and his son Kang Qin, and it is also announced that Dingxin has formally invested in Zhuo Rui, and it is a capital injection rather than a virtual bank member.

In the past two months, Xiao Huaimin spent a lot of effort, either persuading or diluting the shares, and passed the capital injection proposal at the shareholders' meeting. After Xiao Mingxian succeeded Xiao Xingyan as the executive president of Dingxin, he finally had two good results. It is a landmark building under construction in the new urban area, and the second is to become a shareholder of a multinational consortium.

The protagonists of the dinner party were toasting to each other. Dingxin became a hot spot in the city, and the stock price soared all the way. Xiao Huaimin was naturally happy. The company had achieved outstanding results, his son was smart and capable, and now everything he wanted was realized one by one.

It's still a non-embarrassing appearance, and no one cares about it.Xiao Xingyan stood in a corner of the venue with bland champagne. He looked at everyone present and their hypocritical and contrived performances.

Xiao Xingyan's eyes searched the crowd. For two months, Ye Junnan hadn't called or even sent a message. They seemed to be strangers who had only met once. Xiao Xingyan found Ye Junnan's figure in a corner of the venue. He should It was to represent Ling Sheng to attend the dinner party.

Xiao Huaimin stepped onto the stage, toasted and invited everyone to drink together, followed by a speech, Xiao Xingyan was too familiar with these links, so when the lights dimmed, he walked up to Ye Junnan and quickly pulled him out of the venue.

In the empty corridor, Xiao Xingyan kissed Ye Junnan forgetfully. The two months of hearing nothing was like a file, which kept sharpening Xiao Xingyan's nerves. He contacted Ye Junnan but got no reply.

"...Why didn't you answer my phone?" Xiao Xingyan asked urgently before his lips left Ye Junnan.

Ye Junnan was panting slightly, the too intense kiss just now made him a little hypoxic.

"Everyone is busy. ... Besides, it's better if we don't contact each other."

Xiao Xingyan stared at Ye Junnan, as if it was a judgment, whether Ye Junnan was lying or not.

"You don't look very good, are you busy recently?"

Xiao Xingyan's soft and caring voice was something Ye Junnan couldn't escape, and it was the same this time, Ye Junnan softened, leaned on Xiao Xingyan's shoulder, and sighed softly.

"They're divorced. Although they didn't announce it to the public, they really got divorced. After arguing for more than [-] years, they finally separated." Ye Junnan's voice seemed very lonely, and Xiao Xingyan rubbed his face Rubbing his hair, the tobacco smell on his body seems to be stronger.

"What in this world can really last?" Ye Junnan asked. "It may be so easy not to love someone, but it is so difficult not to hate someone."

Xiao Xingyan tightly tightened Ye Junnan into his arms, Xiao Xingyan didn't know how to answer his words, as if everything he said was powerless, he could only hug him tightly and accompany him.

That day, Xiao Xingyan didn't follow the plan he had come here as he wished. He met and got close to each other, and then dispersed. He really didn't want to leave Ye Junnan alone, so they slipped down the corridor and drove to a resort in the suburbs.

Xiao Xingyan bought the groceries and went back to the room. There were no people in this resort, and the houses were independent, and each room was a little far away.The house is furnished with logs, everything is golden yellow in the autumn dusk, the stream flows through the stone crevices, and the yellow leaves pass by with the flowing water. Ye Junnan is sitting under the eaves of the small courtyard, wearing a blanket, holding a A cup of hot cocoa, he didn't drink these sweet drinks before, but Xiao Xingyan refused to let him drink coffee and tea, saying that he was afraid that he would not be able to fall asleep at night.

Xiao Xingyan walked up to Ye Junnan and sat down. There were fallen leaves all over the ground in the small yard, and the sound of the stream flowing was very calming. He kissed Ye Junnan on the forehead and said in a low voice, "I bought some vegetables, and I will cook them for you tonight." Delicious... Let's stay here for two days, you can accompany me."

Ye Junnan smiled and nodded.Xiao Xingyan said to accompany him, Ye Junnan knew exactly who was accompanying whom.He is no longer a teenager, the divorce of his parents should be easy for a person of his age to accept, just like Ye Junbai, he still plays and has fun when he wants to.

Ye Junnan also wanted to be like his brother, but he couldn't do it.

"My parents don't like me." Ye Junnan leaned on Xiao Xingyan's body, looked at the gurgling stream, and said slowly, exhaustion could be seen in his voice. "I was the most frequent figure in their quarrels. My mother accused my father of how hard it was when she was pregnant with me, but my father was behind her back and found young girls. My father said my mother was suspicious. Little, after having me, it became even more unreasonable... They didn't even notify me of their final decision to divorce."

Xiao Xingyan patted Ye Junnan's shoulder lightly. In their relationship, Xiao Xingyan has always been the active side, while Ye Junnan is indifferent, appearing very calm, and also seems a little indifferent.This time, maybe he was really hurt, Xiao Xingyan thought so.

"My brother, no matter how messed up he is, they will still care about him after they scold him." Ye Junnan's eyes showed a kind of envy. "I worked hard for Ling Sheng, and I cleaned up my brother's mess countless times. I can't even remember how many women I have given money to kill my brother's children. What do I want... What do I do? What do I have to do so they can see me."

Ye Junnan's voice trembled, even his whole body trembled, Xiao Xingyan pulled him into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"Don't pray, the things you need to pray for don't belong to you, and you don't need them." Xiao Xingyan said, kissing Ye Junnan's hair.

This night, Xiao Xingyan was extraordinarily gentle. Whether it was kissing or sex, he tried his best to love Ye Junnan. At that moment, he really wanted to live a good life with Ye Junnan.

The night was dyed black, the leaves were rustling, the stream was gurgling, and the light smoke lingered and dissipated. Ye Junnan was wearing a thin blanket and sitting under the eaves of the small courtyard. In the room behind him, Xiao Xingyan had already fallen into a deep sleep. , After falling asleep, he is still as docile as a child.

"I received it." Ye Junnan made the call, her slightly hoarse voice blending with the sound of leaves rubbing together, "The money has been remitted to your account....I hope there is only one copy of what you gave me .”

After hanging up the phone, Ye Junnan took a deep breath of the cigarette, exhaled it slowly, turned to look at Xiao Xingyan who was in the room, and after looking for a long time, he stubbed out the cigarette end in the ashtray, got up and walked into the bedroom. The blanket slipped from his shoulders, Ye Junnan lay down next to Xiao Xingyan, hugged him tightly from behind, and buried his head in his back.

Xiao Xingyan blinked his eyes in a daze, felt the temperature behind him, turned around and hugged Ye Junnan into his arms, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Ye Junnan buried her head in his arms again, said "nothing" in a muffled voice, Xiao Xingyan smiled, put his arms around him and closed his eyes.

Happiness is always short-lived, because reality is never gentle with people.
