Stand-in self-cultivation

Jia Ran, who was singing to his heart's content, had no idea that he had completely offended Bai Ran, let alone that he would be heard by people he knew well.

Not long ago, the dispute in the hall had attracted some people's attention. A few courageous girls rushed up to him and asked him if the person just now was Bairan. When I went out, I didn't know that there was a hole in the sky behind the lush bamboo forest. Such a clean place was really unexpected.After the mood was completely relaxed, he couldn't help but want to sing a little bit. Anyway, there was no one around, so he simply released himself, and began to howl at the top of his voice.

I sang two verses, but I still didn't enjoy myself.Just as he swallowed his saliva and cleared his throat, and was about to play another opera, the sparse applause sounded, which made him cough in fright!Jia Ran supported the pavilion pillar and looked down while coughing. Three familiar people were standing in the bamboo forest applauding, and one of them even waved at him.

Xun Ming: "Hi, we meet again, you sang well."

Chu Tian: "Hehe, not bad."

Jia Ran: "...cough, cough, cough!"

Jia Ran's legs were weak with guilt, and his brain was filled with embarrassment and embarrassment, so that Ma Qiming's abnormal silence was ignored by him.I have kept my love of singing a secret for so long, but I didn't expect it to be exposed in this way, and my boss and male god heard about it!I don't know how long they've been listening, just now... Did I act in a narcissistic way just now?What about broken sound?Did you hear that? !

Terrible.Covering his face, Jia Ran watched Lu move down from the gazebo through his fingers, and after walking around the mountain, he put down his hands and stood in front of the three of them in embarrassment. "President Ma, Brother Tian, ​​Brother Xun Ming, why are you here?" He asked pretending to be calm.

"I didn't bring my room card, so I went out for a walk." Chu Tian said.

"You sang well." Ma Qi praised succinctly, then raised his head to look at Chutian, "Chutian, let's go back first. We will go back to City B tomorrow, and we will celebrate when you go back after finishing the filming."

Chu Tian frowned, now that he realized that something was wrong with his friend, he thought to himself to pay, he patted Xun Ming on the shoulder and said: "That's right, take Xun Ming back with you, take your car, and send him to my house .He has not healed from his old injury, so he just needs to rest when he goes back."

Jia Ran looked at them in surprise, but Xun Ming didn't react much, as if he knew Chutian would do this.Ma Qiming said hello and walked back. Seeing the man's long legs disappear after two steps, he didn't have time to say goodbye to the male god and his wife, so he hurried after him.

The itinerary back to City B was advanced by one day. Xun Ming sent his personal information that night. After Jia Ran rebooked their air tickets, he simply packed up their belongings and waited for departure.After finishing all this work, he went to the bathroom to take a shower, and he didn't forget to stretch a bit, but Ma Qiming didn't touch him, which made Jia Ran secretly scold him for being a bitch.

Apart from the necessary exchanges that night, the two of them didn't say a word. Jia Ran intended to stay away from Ma Qiming, so naturally he wouldn't post it to find a topic.On the second day, the three of them took a flight to City B. On the plane, he took the initiative to chat with Xun Ming. Only then did he realize that he was the unlucky guy who was squeezed into the emergency room because of too many people on the subway. Also saw the newspaper, a sensation.And this time I went back to heal my wounds.

After arriving in City B, Xun Ming left first. Jia Ran had a heavy task. All the information in the past few days had to be collected by him alone, so he didn't even return home, and went straight to the company without stopping.As for Ma Qiming, he thoughtfully called his mother Li Xiaojiang and told him that he would go home tonight.

"Xuanxuan, it's time to come back and take a look. There is one more thing that I will talk about when you come back." Li Xiaojiang said on the phone.

In the evening, Ma Qiming drove back to Li Xiaojiang's residence. Several servants who had been waiting at the door bowed and called "Young Master" in unison. One of them took the initiative to help him take off his coat. go.No matter how many times he came here, Ma Qiming couldn't adapt to the feudalism his mother created, and if he brought a few more maids around, he would look more like a young mistress.Without further ado, he bypassed these people and entered the door.

Li Xiaojiang, who was wrapped in a black cheongsam, was sitting in the front hall drinking tea. Behind her was a screen with splashed ink landscape pictures. From a distance, she seemed to be such a peaceful and clear woman.

Hearing the noise, Li Xiaojiang put down the teacup in his hand, turned his head and looked over.The eyes that are exactly the same as Ma Qiming's are a little bit out of place on such a small face as big as a palm. Although the eyebrows are curved and the eyes are half closed, the sharpness in the eyes can't be contained.Ma Qiming lowered his head, not looking into his mother's eyes.

In [-], he encountered a car accident and almost became a vegetable.After waking up and lying in bed for more than half a year, his body recovered, but there was something wrong with his memory. He had forgotten all about the previous things. About his mother, he secretly checked it himself when he became an adult. What about Li Xiaojiang? They didn't even want to tell him, they were so tightly covered.

Li Xiaojiang is a tough man with a stubborn personality. He didn't even graduate from high school, so he came to City B despite his family's dissuasion.After several years of hard work, she has not achieved anything, but she has been contaminated with dust all over her body. However, despite this, she still attracts the young and promising Ma Hong, who combines the unique gentleness of Jiangnan Water Village and the heartiness of northern women.

Later, when Li Xiaojiang's business had problems, Ma Hong subsidized her a large sum of money. After the business failed, Ma Hong gave her money again because of his heartache, and offered to help her, but how could Li Xiaojiang, whose heart is higher than the sky, agree?In the end, I still lost everything.

Unable to bear her begging, Ma Hong gave the money again, and this time he intervened secretly, only then did he realize that Li Xiaojiang was really a strong outsider, with great aspirations and few talents, and he had to be called the top in his pretentious skills. Go round and round.But even though he already knew the nature of his mother, Ma Hong still couldn't get out of it.

Li Xiaojiang is pregnant.

The woman gave up her idea of ​​working hard and wanted to get married and have children, but Ma Hong told her that she was married and had children of her own.

Being a mistress and pregnant with this man's child, Li Xiaojiang was disheartened and left Ma Hong's side voluntarily, and took care of the child alone after giving birth to herself.If Ma Hong's eldest son, Ma Qiyu, hadn't been in a plane crash and he lost the ability to have children, Ma Qiming is still the same Li Xuan who didn't understand anything and was raised by his mother alone. The sole heir of the Ma family.

"Xuanxuan, what do you want to eat tonight?" Li Xiaojiang asked briskly, with his bony hands crossed on his lap, "Is the company's business going well?"

"Just eat whatever you want. It's going well."

"Well, mother believes in her son." Li Xiaojiang smiled gently, but his eyes were not bright, "Your father entrusted me with something, and I want you to make up your mind."

Ma Qiming asked: "What's the matter?"

Li Xiaojiang sighed, and the servant standing aside quickly stepped forward. After the woman waved her hand to signal her to go down, she took Ma Qiming's arm and went upstairs. After pushing open the door of the guest room, Ma Qiming was startled—baby room? !whose child?

The woman leaned against the door, speaking concerned words, but her face showed undisguised mockery: "Xuanxuan, go in and see for yourself, keep your voice down, he's asleep."

Ma Qiming took his steps lightly, and slowly came to the bedside, looking at the little guy who was sleeping soundly in the crib.

"Your father's son."

As soon as these words came out, Ma Qiming was shocked.

"Ma Hong brought it over two days ago, saying that his mother died of dystocia, hmph."

"Isn't he incapable of...?" Ma Qiming asked softly, frowning, gently rocking the crib, the child was sleeping soundly.

"I've checked everything that needs to be checked. It's Ma Hong's species. His mother took the initiative to find me, and we chatted for a while. The little girl is still in college, and she drank too much when she went out to do activities. Sleeping." Li Xiaojiang's tone was calm, and he looked at Ma Qiming with some helplessness, "She said that Ma Hong asked her to go abroad, and she thought about it herself, and said that she didn't want to see this child again."

There was silence in the room save for the crunching of the crib.

Ma Qiming glanced at the child's face, and led Li Xiaojiang downstairs.

The food had already been put on the table by the servants, Ma Qiming leaned on the railing and watched condescendingly.In the huge house, there was only the table that was still steaming. His mother spent half her life doing nothing, but in the end it was this man who gave him everything.

"Let's go eat first, Xuanxuan, mom asked them to cook your favorite dishes for you."

Ma Qiming hummed, washed his hands and sat down at the table.Li Xiaojiang was full after eating a few mouthfuls, and sat on the side talking to him about those things in the women's circle, Ma Qiming echoed, feeling a little sore in his heart.When he was abroad before, he didn't publicize his identity. Those cronies around him would often tell jokes about the Ma Group.

He also knew how unpopular Li Xiaojiang was in the women's circle in city B. He didn't expect that his mother would be ashamed to participate in these gatherings that he usually hated the most after not going home for a long time. It was really not easy.

"Your father left the child here and left without saying anything." The conversation changed, and Li Xiaojiang brought up the matter again.The woman frowned her beautiful eyebrows, and the white jade bracelet on her wrist made a soft sound when it touched the table, "If you want me to say, just die."

"Mom." Ma Qiming interrupted coldly, "Let's keep it."

"I was just joking." Li Xiaojiang laughed, and she stretched out her hand to hold Ma Qiming, "Xuanxuan, you are over 30. Mom is already able to take care of herself at your age. If you have enough fun, do it well, you know?" ? Ma Qiyu is dead, he is still young, sooner or later the Ma family will be yours. But you must have the ability to support it, my mother is old and can't help you too much."

Ma Qiming put down his chopsticks and sat up straight.He has always known that in this family, no one, whether it is his mother, Ma Hong or anyone else, thinks highly of him, Ma Qiming.Even his mother's wish was to support Ma Shi... and even worried that she would be deprived of everything he should have by an infant baby.

"This child... is raised by his mother. Don't worry Xuanxuan, he won't threaten you."

"Mom, if you like him, let him stay with you." Ma Qiming said slowly, "It's too lonely to be alone, and it's good to do multiple things."

"Mom has a sense of proportion." After Li Xiaojiang finished speaking, the mother and son were speechless for a moment.

After the meal, the servant removed the dinner, Li Xiaojiang played with the bracelet on his wrist, and suddenly said, "Why did you think you came back today?"

"...Suddenly remembered something from my childhood, and wanted to ask you." Ma Qiming said flatly.

The woman glanced at him and said in a bad tone, "Ma Hong has wiped out all the traces of our previous existence, and no one wants to be a joke. And the past is already in the past. Since you have forgotten it, there is no It’s necessary to think about it again.”

Leaving the small courtyard where his mother lived, Ma Qiming stood in front of the car, lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.

He knew exactly why his mother was so violent—she didn't want him to know about her failed past.But what she didn't know was that she tried her best to hide in the past, and when Ma Hong found out that she was investigating, she turned a blind eye and trembled out.

Throwing the cigarette under his feet and crushing it, Ma Qiming got into the car, and the image of Jia Ran that night appeared again in his mind.He originally wanted to come back and ask Li Xiaojiang if his playmate who lived with him when he was a child liked to sing operas, but this sudden younger brother disrupted his plan.

Do you have a sense of crisis?Ma Qiming laughed at himself, drove straight to the company, and worked overtime.
