Master Zhen doesn't want to inherit the family business

Tang Xing touched her chest, it was very painful.

Tang Xing originally wanted to ask "When will Meng Yunzhou come back", but he didn't ask in the end.

He also knows that next Friday will be a coming-of-age banquet for the two of them, and the Meng family will hold a special event. One is to solemnly introduce the newly returned Tang Xing to the outside world, and then show that the two children have a good relationship, so as to establish a positive image for Meng Yaodong. Good father figure.

Even though this banquet was tinged with hypocrisy, Tang Xinghui would be very happy to celebrate her birthday with Meng Yunzhou.

This is the first, and there will be a second and a third in the future.

So before next Friday at the latest, Meng Yunzhou will definitely come back.

Tang Xing went upstairs and locked himself in the room. He couldn't hold back and sent a message to Meng Yunzhou again. After typing out many words, Tang Xing deleted them. After repeated several times, Tang Xing just asked the other party: [I will tomorrow What about the last subject test, Meng Yunzhou, you can't come back, are you? 】

Tang Xing sat on the sofa with his knees in his arms, and buried his face in his knees. This was an action he used to do every time he was sad, and it would make him feel more secure.

He stroked the material of the clothes with his fingers, once and for all, repeating this action mechanically, and then slightly raised his head to look at the textbook on the desk, as if Meng Yunzhou taught him a lesson in his room last night.

When the time came, the curtains of the room opened automatically, and the room was flooded with sunlight. Tang Xing only felt his eyes were stinging. He raised his hand just to touch his eyes, but found that the back of his hand was wet.

I didn't expect myself to cry.

The screen of the mobile phone on the table turned on. Tang Xing raised his eyes and immediately reached out to take it.

Meng Yunzhou: [Ten o'clock tomorrow morning, right? I'll try my best to come back before that. 】

Tang Xing felt much better after seeing it.

He clicked on the phone with his hand, there were too many things he wanted to say, and in the end he just said: [I just said it casually, you can do your work, don't come back in a hurry. 】

Tang Xing: [It's not a big deal, I can do it myself. 】

It can only be said that Meng Yunzhou is very sensitive, and immediately felt that there was something wrong with Tang Xing's mood, and asked him what's wrong?

Tang Xing reached out and rubbed the wet eye sockets, even if the person opposite couldn't see him, he ticked up the corner of his mouth: 【What are you thinking?I eat and drink, what can I do? 】

Tang Xing: [If you are not here, I have to walk the dog by myself, sad.jpg]

These words seemed to have no problem, but Meng Yunzhou's frown did not relax immediately, as if he had encountered a very difficult problem.

The special assistant turned his head from the co-pilot. He had been with Mr. Meng for a long time, and it was rare to see him with such a serious and bewildered expression, let alone showing it.

Seeing Mr. Meng, who had always been calm, raised his hand and pinched his brow, and asked the special assistant to bring over the itinerary.After he made some notes on the itinerary, he saved what could be saved and pushed what could be moved back, and the rest of the schedule became extremely compact.

The special assistant was taken aback, looking at the densely packed timeline, thinking that something big happened: "Is it so rushed?"

He looked down at the schedule: "Then the soonest we can go back to City D tomorrow night."

Yes, it will be tomorrow night at the soonest, Meng Yunzhou is a little sad.

This project was led by him at the very beginning. Starting from a small inspiration, organizing the team, holding meetings and discussions, and finally taking shape, there are too many people contributing. Meng Yunzhou can't be selfish and only think about himself.

Tang Xing received the news immediately, and she was not disappointed at all.

Because Meng Yunzhou was a little cautious in writing, Tang Xing immediately understood that he would not come back.

Realizing that she had passed the pressure on to the other party invisibly, Tang Xing felt even more uncomfortable, and had to pretend to be nothing to do with Meng Yunzhou to dispel the other party's suspicion.

Alas... the disadvantage of talking to smart people is lying, which is very tiring.

The details of a smile are easy to be discovered by the other party.

As soon as Tang Xing put down his phone, someone knocked on his door.

Dong Mian stood worriedly at the door, holding a plate of fruit and snacks in her hand. She knocked on the door and called softly, "Xing Xing, you don't seem to have a good appetite recently, and you didn't eat much just now. Mom brought you something." Something, can I come in now?"

Tang Xing quickly pulled a tissue and quickly wiped away his tears. He hurriedly said, "I'm not hungry, I'm going to catch up on sleep, Mom—"

It was rare for Dong Mian to persist: "Then I'll come in right now."

Tang Xing: "..." Then what did you ask just now?

When Dong Mian entered the room, Tang Xing was still huddled on his small sofa, without a smile on her face. Dong Mian paused, and then gently closed the door behind her. She had some guesses, but felt very sad. Sorry, because there's nothing she can do about it.

Apart from being nervous and powerless, she can't change anything.

But I still want to...at least do something.

Dong Mian bit her lower lip, put the things on the table, and sat down on the other side of Tang Xing. She put her hands on the woolen skirt on her knees, curling her fingers subconsciously.

"Did you not sleep today, okay? You didn't eat anything just now..." Dong Mian said softly, "It's a big deal, you can't go against your body, and you shouldn't treat your stomach badly, right?"

Tang Xing glanced at her, but still didn't speak.

He felt a little ambivalent towards Dong Mian now, at first he despised this silent attitude, but suddenly, Tang Xing understood again.

Every individual is independent and different, so when encountering something, the way of handling it and the results obtained are naturally different.

Tang Xing himself prefers to be positive, and he is unwilling to suffer any grievances. For the vast majority of rational or weak people, positive just is the way they dare not try. They are worried that the consequences will not be bearable by themselves, so they naturally prefer to choose Some gentle ways to make yourself feel more secure.

But unlike Dong Mian's attitude, Meng Yunzhou's submissive attitude was not due to fear or avoidance, but more like...it doesn't matter.

But even if she understood, Tang Xing still didn't agree with this approach.

Some people are just used to it.

In Tang Xing's eyes, Dong Mian saw something that she was least willing to admit, she moved her fingers, lowered her head to avoid Tang Xing's gaze, and after a while, she took the initiative to meet Tang Xing's gaze.

"Did you quarrel with Yunzhou?" Dong Mian asked cautiously, "With his personality, he would not be able to conflict with others, so are you angry with him?"

Although she is not as smart and sensitive as Meng Yunzhou, Tang Xing can also see that she is trying to do something for Tang Xing, although she is clumsy.

Hearing Meng Yunzhou's name, Tang Xing twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Why am I angry with him? Do I have any reason to be angry with him?"

Dong Mian couldn't tell whether Tang Xing's tone was complaining or it was really nothing.

"Yun Zhou...Although he matured earlier than his peers, he is still a child after all," Dong Mian said with guilt unconsciously, "It seems that he may have changed his life with you, but his life is actually... ..."

Dong Mian lowered her head, and found it hard to say: "Actually, it can't be called life. Since he was about two years old, he has been... raised by your father in the so-called professional way."

When to go to bed, how long to sleep at night, how long to take a nap during the day, how to eat three meals a day, how to hold the tableware... There are strict requirements.

"He is so good now because he started to have a standardized life earlier than others. Childish acting like a baby or cheating is tantamount to punishment for him. I am actually not a good mother. From the beginning I feel distressed to In the end, I got used to not seeing him, not caring about him, I even suspected that maybe your father was right, because he grew up slowly, and he was indeed very good."

Dong Mian put her hands together, and tears began to appear in her eyes. She was afraid that Tang Xing would feel that she was being verbose, so she hurriedly said, "I seem to have said too much. I'm not trying to excuse myself. I just want to tell you, Yun It may not be easy for Zhou to open his heart to others, but please believe him, he is absolutely sincere to you, in fact, before you came back, I didn’t even know he could laugh often.”

"I don't know what kind of identity I am telling you about this matter, whether I am guilty or guilty, from now on, I will try my best to treat you well, try hard...to look like a mother, maybe There are still many things that I can’t do, but I will try to stand by your side, no matter what decision you make, even if you have nothing, please let me fulfill my responsibilities and obligations as a mother.”

"Having nothing?" Tang Xing twitched the corner of her mouth, "Actually, I think it sounds pretty good, but even if I leave, Meng Yaodong will do everything possible to drag Meng Yunzhou, he has made the businessman's mercenary to the extreme, right? ?”

Tang Xing said with some difficulty: "Meng Yaodong raised him, this is an undeniable fact. If it were me, it would be 'ungrateful' or 'white-eyed wolf', reputation is nothing to a person like me, but He is Meng Yunzhou, if he is murdered, I will feel as if thick black and smelly ink has been splashed on the white paper, even if Meng Yunzhou doesn't care, I will not agree."

"I won't let him have nothing." The sun fell on his face, and the light and shadow interlaced, making his facial features more profound.

Dong Mian blinked, her eye circles were already red, but her expression was very warm.

Before she pushed open the door today, she had put in a lot of effort for the little courage she mustered up. Now that she heard Tang Xing say that, she felt even more ashamed.

I have lived for so many years in vain, but I am not even as good as a child.

Dong Mian fixedly looked at Tang Xing, his eyes slid over his facial features: "You are more...beautiful than I imagined."

But obviously, this beauty was not brought by her.

Dong Mian didn't know whether to be lucky or envious, envious of the person who grew up with Tang Xing, and glad that Tang Xing didn't grow up by his side...

"You have the last subject test tomorrow, right? Yunzhou probably won't come back, if you don't mind, can I let my mother accompany you?" Dong Mian raised a hand, wanting to touch Tang Xing's head.

Instinctively, she did it.

She stretched out her hand, but she suddenly regretted it again and wanted to take it back, but Tang Xing tilted her head and pretended to rub her palm casually.

this moment--

Dong Mian's heart was unbelievably soft, she thought she should be happy, but tears rolled down like a small fountain.

Some things have been delayed for a long time, but it seems that it is still too late.

Maybe it's too late to correct all the stories at a certain time, but at least there have been some slight changes. Dong Mian feels that Tang Xing is willing to get close, and feels... everything is not too bad.

Even if the future is still uncertain, even if there may be a storm, she is willing to be brave for them, because they are really worth it.

Tang Xing also knew that it was useless to get angry about the matter in front of him. Now that he was back, many things could be discussed in a long-term way, so the solemnity on his face faded.

Seeing that Tang Xing was in a better mood, Dong Mian took a closer look at Xia Tang Xing's room.She stood up and saw several large photo albums on the shelf above the desk. Dong Mian was a little nervous: "Can I have a look?"

"Of course." After Tang Xing calmed down, he began to make up for his neglected stomach. He took a snack and ate casually while watching Dong Mian carefully flipping through his photo album.

Seeing Dong Mian staring at the old photo of herself and Tang Sancai, Tang Xing pointed at Lao Tang: "How is it, my dad is handsome? Do you know why Meng Yunzhou is so good-looking?"

Staring at the strange man and being discovered, Dong Mian couldn't help but blushed slightly, and nodded slightly: "Handsome, he is very handsome, and our stars are also very beautiful."

Tang Xing still has this self-knowledge: "If I don't compare with Meng Yunzhou, I still have self-confidence."

Dong Mian smiled slightly and continued to look through the photo album. It must be said that although he was a single father with a son, it seemed that Tang Xing was taken care of very well. This kind of goodness was shown by his rich life experience.

The baby star who was excited to slap the bath water when he was a baby, the funny star who drools three thousand feet when he is a toddler, the naughty star, the funny star... Climbing trees to dig out bird eggs, going down to touch in the river Crabs, all kinds of stars, colorful growth paths.

"Where is this place?" Dong Mian asked, pointing to a photo of Tang Xing who was all dirty and smiling, but very bright.

Seeing this, Tang Xing couldn't help being happy.

He was very active when he was a child, and when he went to get vaccinated, the community doctor always suspected that he had ADHD, but Lao Tang didn't think so, he thought Tang Xing was lively.

Considering that life in the city is somewhat restrained, Lao Tang has the idea of ​​going to the countryside to try it out, which may allow Tang Xing to liberate his nature.

Tang Xing also seemed to follow the photo back to a certain period of time, pointing to the photo and said proudly: "The education method Lao Tang pursues is that no matter what kind of study, you must have more contact with nature, play with mud, make a slingshot , catching butterflies, but now urbanized life has been diluting this, so when I was young, Lao Tang quit a good job in the city, and we rented a big house in the countryside."

Lao Tang said: "Only when you get close to nature can you know awe."

When you buy a Chinese cabbage in the supermarket and see butterfly specimens in the exhibition hall, you can judge whether they are ordinary or precious based on their value, but you have never seen the process of life from birth to death with your own eyes.

Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you know the magic and preciousness of life.

And the respect we give to life should have nothing to do with value.

Another explanation for Tang Xing's ability to eat is also out of respect for food.

This is what Tang Xing told herself.

cough cough.

Thinking of this, Tang Xing smiled softly: "It was a time that was extremely happy no matter when I recalled it. Do you know how big our yard is?"

Tang Xing pointed Dong Mian to an orchard in a photo, "Look, this orchard is a part of our yard, which is bigger than the yard of this villa. Old Tang planted various fruit trees in it, and there is a small A piece of land is used to grow vegetables, I know which vegetables can only grow for one season, and which vegetables grow quickly."

When talking about these things, Tang Xing seemed to have opened up a chatterbox.

In the center of the yard is a row of grape trellises. In summer, they lay a floor under the grape trellises. Through the leaves of the grape vines, you can see the stars in the sky.

In summer, there are endless fruits. Although Laotang did not plan to live here for a long time, when the fruits are ripe, he will distribute them to the neighbors. Then when other people make delicious food, he will also think about giving a copy Come and give this father and son a taste.

So it can also be said that Tang Xing grew up eating a lot of food.

Thinking of this, Tang Xing couldn't help saying: "He gave me the most precious and beautiful gift, which was childhood. Although we didn't have a lot of money, I was very happy at that time."

Even the netizens who are lucky enough to make friends are called "happy". Well, Tang Xing thought, why do I think of him again?
