God's New Clothes

Xu Shi'an sat in the car and closed his eyes tiredly. He had been making perfect plans for this day, but he also prayed that this day would never come, but things still came to this point after all.

If he was asked to choose between Tong Yan and the company, would he be able to choose?If he chose Tong Yan to abandon the company and replace key management personnel at such a critical moment in the group's transformation, it would be no wonder the stock price didn't plummet.If he chose the company and gave up Tong Yan, he would never be able to do it.

The current result made him feel like a scheming conspirator, the white-eyed wolf, taking advantage of his father's trust, unknowingly taking his place step by step.He must be disappointed in himself.

The car stopped and went, and my mood was also shaken. After passing through one congested road after another, I finally arrived at Xu Shi'an's apartment.

The moment the door was opened, before Tong Yan could see him clearly, Xu Shi'an hugged him tightly in his arms.

Tong Yan patted his back and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Shi'an hugged the person in his arms tighter, and it took a long time before he said, "I miss you."

Tong Yan: "I think your flight has already arrived, why did you come back so late?"

"Well, I got off the plane and went to meet my dad."

Speaking of Xu Yunsheng, Tong Yan was inexplicably nervous: "Is something wrong? The chairman made things difficult for you?"

"No," Xu Shi'an rubbed against Tong Yan's hair with his face sideways, "No one will embarrass us again in the future."

Tong Yan heard some clues from his words, but felt that something was wrong, he asked cautiously: "Have you talked to the chairman?"

Xu Shi'an nodded.

Tong Yan's heart trembled: "What did he say?"

Xu Shi'an straightened up, took Tong Yan to the sofa and sat down, first brushed his bangs, and then said: "I told you, don't be unhappy."

"Well, no." My heart became more nervous.

Xu Shi'an thought for a while and said, "It's really hard for him to accept that two men are together."

Tong Yan nodded.

"I also made a concession to him. If he is willing to accept us, we will not announce our relationship to the outside world. Can you understand this?"

Tong Yan said, "I understand."

"But he still disagreed and wanted to take back my management rights over the company. I told him that the actual controller of the company is no longer him, and the board of directors is now mine."

Tong Yan opened his mouth wide: "How did you do it?"

"This is not the point. I will tell you later. The point is that he doesn't agree now, but he can't control us anymore."

This result was really beyond Tong Yan's expectations. It's only been a few days, Xu Yunsheng's attitude couldn't have made a 180-degree turn, but he didn't expect Xu Shi'an to escape his father's control, although it wasn't the best for them The result, but it was much better than what he had imagined.

Tong Yan originally thought that after the father-son showdown, he would never be able to be a designer of YG again, and ANNA-X would definitely not be able to go back, and even Xu Yunsheng would use his relationship to make him completely unable to gain a foothold in this industry.As for Xu Shi'an, he might be swept out of the house, freeze his assets, and then let them fend for themselves. In this case, the two of them probably won't have a good life.Maybe Xu Shi'an will find a way to make a comeback, but it will be destroyed by his father's interference. He may start drinking again because of self-blame. Xu Shi'an may get tired of him when he is fed up, and the two of them will end.

But now, the current situation has hardly changed their lives. He can still live with Xu Shi'an, work together, work together, and plan their own and the company's future together.With such a good result, why does Xu Shi'an still look so depressed?

He understood that Xu Shi'an had sacrificed their father-son relationship in exchange for all of this.

Tong Yan originally wanted to tell Xu Shi'an that Xu Yunsheng came to him, but looking at the current situation, talking about it would only increase Xu Shi'an's troubles.He couldn't talk about how happy he was, and he didn't feel gloating, just felt very surprised.

"Then your father..." Tong Yan asked worriedly.

Xu Shi'an grabbed Tong Yan's hand and clenched it tightly, bowed his head and said, "I'll ask him to make amends some other day."

That's what he said, but when Xu Shi'an really went to plead guilty, Xu Yunsheng didn't even see him. He shut himself in the study, drinking tea and writing, but refused to open the door for his son.Every time it was Xu Shi'an who could not wait any longer before leaving through the back door in disgrace.

At this time, Xu Yunsheng usually stands at the window on the second floor, picks up a boiled egg, smashes it on the window sill twice, peels off the eggshell, and says "little bastard" in one bite. have eaten.

When Uncle Chu cleaned his room for him, he murmured as if he was talking to himself: "Oh, the young master is so pitiful, every day the company runs around here, so thin that his face is out of shape."

Xu Yunsheng sneered and cracked another egg.

It stands to reason that after Xu Shi'an broke his father's face in person, at least he had completely attempted to usurp the throne. He should have changed his hands in the company and replaced everyone in key positions with his confidantes, but he seemed He did nothing but focused on promoting his brand renewal plan. Only Tong Yan knew that Xu Shi'an hadn't really changed at all.

First of all, he lost weight. Although he ate exactly the same as Tong Yan, Xu Shi'an lost weight quickly for no reason.It turned out that his muscles were full and good-looking, but now he is so thin that he can't see his shape.Secondly, he often suffers from insomnia, Tong Yan sometimes finds that others are not in bed when he wakes up at night.

Like today.

Tong Yan put on Xu Shi'an's sweater and found him on the balcony.Standing on the floor-to-ceiling glass, he saw Xu Shi'an put his arms on the edge of the balcony, lowered his head and didn't know what he was looking at, and a white mist floated in front of him.

Tong Yan pulled the glass door and asked, "Why are you here?"

Xu Shi'an turned around hurriedly when he heard the movement, and hid his hands behind his back.

"I've seen it all, you can smoke if you want." Tong Yan walked to Xu Shi'an, took off the sweater on his body and put it on him, "I haven't seen you smoking before, you are so handsome."

"Aren't you cold?" Xu Shi'an asked.

So Tong Yan went back to the room and came out wearing a sweater again. He pulled the zipper up to his neck and put his hands in his pockets. Xu Shi'an, with a cigarette in his mouth, stretched out his hand to fasten Tong Yan's hat.

"Can I have a sip?" Tong Yan asked.

Xu Shi'an squinted his eyes, looked at the person who made the unreasonable request through the white smoke, and finally handed the cigarette holder to Tong Yan.

Tong Yan took a puff with his hand, the scarlet cigarette butt lit up, he didn't know how to smoke, so he only held it in his mouth for a while, then lifted his chin and spit it out.

"Minty."

Seeing Tong Yan's stupidity, Xu Shi'an finally laughed. He bent down and threw the cigarette butt into a mineral water bottle.

Tong Yan also took a look at the bottle, half a bottle of cigarette butts and half a bottle of water, the cigarette butts were soaked up like mushrooms.

"The chairman still refuses to see you." Although Xu Yunsheng is no longer the chairman of YG, Tong Yan is still used to calling him that.

"He can't hide in the room every day and see me, he will figure it out one day." Xu Shi'an comforted himself in this way.

A gust of night wind blew by, Tong Yan shrank his neck, and pulled the front of the sweater for Xu Shi'an.His eyes stopped on Xu Shi'an's face, his cheeks were sunken, showing high cheekbones, and the small pit on his chin that was partly hidden was completely exposed now.

Tong Yan touched his chin, it was a little prickly.

"You father and son became like this because of me."

Xu Shi'an immediately interrupted him: "Don't say that, even without you, he is not suitable to continue to be the chairman, his body and mind are..."

Tong Yan covered Xu Shi'an's mouth: "Listen to me first."

Xu Shi'an nodded.

"Even if I'm not 50.00% responsible for this, there must be [-]% of it. I know you don't want me to blame myself, but it's not a solution for you father and son to always be like this. I also thought about going to apologize to him with you, But let alone me if you can't get in. I don't want to be a sinner, and I know you don't think so."

Xu Shi'an closed his eyes, expressing his approval of Tong Yan's statement.

"If we can't convince him, has it ever occurred to you that someone else might be able to convince him?"

"He can't listen to anyone."

Tong Yan took out a small yellow note from the pocket of the sweater, and waved it in front of Xu Shian: "Then where is your mother?"

Because Ms. Shen has not appeared in his life for too many years, Xu Shi'an would not think of asking his mother to solve anything when he encountered something. When Tong Yan said this, Xu Shi'an was indeed pleasantly surprised for a second, but when he thought about the relationship between the two, he immediately thought of it again. Dispelled this idea.

"First of all, she may not be willing to help me. It's not like you don't know how she got away. Secondly, even if she is willing to speak for me regardless of the previous suspicions, my dad may not listen. You have moved a little far to rescue."

Tong Yan was not shocked. Instead, he vowed: "I will go to her and promise to persuade her to come back. The rest depends on luck. Anyway, we will not suffer any loss if we let her come back. Didn't you say that your father's spouse column has always been Did you fill in your mother's name? What if there is a play?"

Xu Shi'an remembered that when his father was recuperating at home, he had asked his mother many times about her recent situation. Maybe her mind would change when she got old?Even if you can't convince the old man about him and Tong Yan, it's not a bad thing to let your parents meet again.

Xu Shi'an pushed Tong Yan's hair back into the hat, and two black eyes jumped out of the hair.He has always thought Tong Yan's eyes are very charming, just blinking can make his heart flutter, like two stars sneaking out of the sky, hiding in his eyes mischievously.

Xu Shi'an said: "Go ahead and have fun for a few days." It was like giving him a vacation.

Tong Yan put his arms around Xu Shi'an's thin waist, and leaned against his chest: "It's cold here, let's go back."

It was also the weather in early March, but New York was much colder than Beijing.

Shen Wenyin was baking biscuits at home, when the flour was mixed halfway, the doorbell rang.

"coming."

She responded, put down the squeegee and ran to the door, licked the cream left on her fingers, and pulled the latch.

Tong Yan stood on the steps wrapped up like a rice dumpling, and when he saw someone open the door, he pulled down the thick scarf and showed a beautiful smile. He waved to Shen Wenyin and said, "Auntie, excuse me, are you still here?" Remember me? I'm Shi'an's friend, we met last year."

Shen Wenyin opened the door, half leaning on the door frame and looked at Tong Yan with great interest: "Hey, handsome boy, why are you here, come in first."

Tong Yan nodded slightly, picked up his small suitcase and entered the gate.

Zhou Wenyin took Tong Yan to the living room, packed up some clothes on the sofa and said to him: "You sit first, I'll be right away." Then she went to the kitchen.

Tong Yan took off his scarf and gloves, and looked around this apartment. This is a typical American apartment with patterned wallpapers on the walls. There are many photos hanging behind the sofa, most of which are commemorative photos of Shen Wenyin's travels to various places. Tong Yan took a closer look, and it seemed that there were no intimate photos with the man, and even if there were, there were many people together.

"Sit down," Shen Wenyin's voice came from behind again, "Can I have coffee?"

Tong Yan sat down on the sofa and said, "Thank you."

Shen Wenyin put two cups of coffee and a plate of biscuits on the tea table, and asked Tong Yan: "Why are you here alone? Didn't Xiaoan come with you?"

Tong Yan glanced at the Ms. Shen opposite, probably because she was resting at home, she was wearing a white cable sweater, her long hair was tied into a loose braid, hanging casually on one shoulder, looking There is a sense of girlhood that spans ages.

"He's been busy with the group's affairs recently, so he couldn't leave, so I came alone." Tong Yan asked, "I'm taking the liberty to visit you, so I didn't bother you, did I?"

"I am an old woman, what can I bother you? I think the house is not lively enough." Shen Wenyin took a sip of coffee and asked, "How is Xiao An?"

Xu Shi'an's situation can't be said to be good, but it can't be said to be too bad. In order not to worry Shen Wenyin, Tong Yan had no choice but to say: "It's almost the same as before."

After speaking, he turned around and took out a beautifully wrapped gift box from the suitcase, and handed it over with both hands, "This is a gift he specially asked me to bring to you."

Shen Wenyin took it over with a smile, opened it and saw that it was a camel-colored cashmere scarf, she tried it on by tying the scarf around her neck, and the color matched her temperament: "Thank you, it's very beautiful, it's your choice, right? Remember he said you were a costume designer."

Tong Yan smiled without saying a word.

Shen Wenyin folded the scarf and said to Tong Yan: "You came all the way to New York just to give me a scarf, right?" She leaned in the tiger chair, picked up the coffee and put it on her lap Stir gently, "Tell me, what are you looking for?"

Tong Yan also picked up the coffee and took a sip. The taste was very pure. He put down the cup and said, "Auntie, you already know the relationship between me and Shi'an, right?"

The coffee spoon in Shen Wenyin's hand paused slightly, and said with a smile: "It seems that your relationship is very stable, have you reached the point where you can meet your parents?"

Hearing what she said, Tong Yan let go of half of his heart, at least Shen Wenyin should not object to them, and then there will be drama in the following things.

Tong Yan said: "If uncle can be as open-minded as you, I won't have to come so far to bother you today."

"Xu Yunsheng is old-fashioned, he knows nothing, he doesn't know what love is at all!"

Tong Yan: "..."

"I'm sorry, I'm not always like this. In fact, I've taken it lightly for a long time." Shen Wenyin put down her coffee, picked up the cigarette case on the coffee table, first asked Tong Yan if she smoked, Tong Yan waved her hand, and she lit a cigarette for herself. She held a slender lady's cigarette between her slender fingers, which was really pretty.

"Actually, last time I felt that the relationship between the two of you was not easy. It can be seen that Xiao An likes you very much."

Tong Yan lowered his head and smiled sheepishly: "I also like him very much. He is excellent, much better than anyone imagined. If you have time, I would like to tell you our story. "

Shen Wenyin breathed out a puff of smoke into the air, and asked with a smile, "Do you need wine?"

Tong Yan thought about the stupid things he had done after drinking, and refused righteously.

In fact, the story between him and Xu Shi'an is neither long nor short. At the time, I thought it was thrilling, and those heart-wrenching processes, looking back now, have been turned into all kinds of sweetness by time.Even he, the person involved, can't remember some details clearly, but every time something is mentioned, it still brings tears to his eyes.

Tong Yan told Shen Wenyin the ins and outs of the matter as concisely as possible, especially the recent relationship between father and son.Unexpectedly, Shen Wenyin clapped her hands and cheered after hearing this: "Isn't this great? His company is gone, and his son is gone. You two are happily together, and it doesn't matter what he agrees to or not. You are full. !"

"But Shi'an is not happy. After all, the chairman is his father. The relationship between father and son has become like this. Shi'an thinks it is his fault. He wants to make it up, and asks the chairman's forgiveness, but the chairman is now If you don't even want to see him, how can you forgive him!"

Shen Wenyin lit another cigarette for herself, took two puffs and said, "I'm sorry, in my opinion, I don't have any need to go back. If you guys quarreled, I would like to help you get back together, but their father-son relationship broke down. I can't help you with this, please."

Tong Yan didn't expect Shen Wenyin to refuse so simply, leaving no room for him to maneuver. He said eagerly: "You left when Xu Shi'an was six years old. The chairman brought him up for so many years. You are right Doesn't your own son feel any guilt?"

Shen Wenyin didn't speak, raised her arms, flicked the ash in the ashtray, her eyes seemed to drift to a far away place.

Tong Yan said a lot of persuasive words, his lips were almost worn out, but in the end, Shen Wenyin said sorry.

He dragged his small suitcase and stood alone in front of Shen Wenyin's house. He did not expect that his trip to New York, which he was full of confidence, would end so soon, as quickly as snowflakes falling on the water, disappearing in the blink of an eye .

How will he face Xu Shi'an after he goes back?He raised a glimmer of hope in him but failed. Xu Shi'an would definitely say that he was fine, and would feel that it was too hard for him to travel all the way, so he comforted himself instead.

Xu Shi'an has done so many things for him, but he failed to do this one for him. How could he have the face to go back!

Thinking about it, snowflakes suddenly floated in the sky and fell down one after another.Tong Yan had never seen snow in Beijing this winter, but he did not expect to see it in New York instead.He put on his hat, tightened his scarf, and thought, let him see it all at once!

The next morning, Shen Wenyin came out to sweep the snow.When she opened the door, she saw a snowman as tall as a person standing in front of her. She screamed out in fright, but she didn't expect the snowman to move because of her voice.

Tong Yan moved his frozen joints and slowly flicked off the snow on his face. Shen Wenyin saw clearly that the snowman was Tong Yan, so she put down the broom that was raised in the air.

She rushed to Tong Yan in a few steps, and shouted to him: "Didn't you leave? Why did you stand here all night? Is it fun? Is it interesting?" She helped Tong Yan pat the snow off his body while talking.

Tong Yan was frozen all over, and breathlessly said: "A Yu, I, I have no other choice, if you don't get angry with me, I will stand here until you agree to be Zi. "

Shen Wenyin: "..."

After all, she is a mother. Seeing that Tong Yan's tongue is so cold, she felt a little compassion: "You go to the hospital with me to check if there is any frostbite!"

"I'm not angry, I won't be angry if you don't promise me!"

"You..." Shen Wenyin wanted to swear, she switched between English swear words and Chinese swear words a few times, but she got stuck.She looked at Tong Yan's icy eyelashes, which were white and fluffy, like a doll, and suddenly remembered the scene when he took the young Xu Shi'an to build a snowman in the yard.

Shen Wenyin sighed, and brushed off the snow on Tong Yan's head: "What Xu Yunsheng owes you requires me to collect the debt for you, and what I owe Xu Shi'an requires you to collect the debt for him. Is that what you mean?"

"You promised!"

Shen Wenyin snorted and said, "I only promise to go back with you, I don't guarantee that I can persuade him!"

Tong Yan nodded vigorously, and felt his face hurt when he smiled.

After a night of freezing outside, Tong Yan couldn't resist and caught a cold.He lied that he would spend a few more days in New York, but in fact he was recuperating at Shen Wenyin's house.Shen Wenyin has a sharp mouth and a bean curd heart, and takes good care of him. Tong Yan is so moved that he almost calls her mother.

After her health was completely recovered, Shen Wenyin also asked for a leave of absence, and the two of them took the plane back to Beijing together.

Xu Shi'an personally came to pick up his mother at the airport. Seeing Xu Shi'an's thin face, Shen Wenyin finally understood why Tong Yan had to let her come back.

Xu Shi'an said: "The hotel has been booked for you. You should take a good rest to overcome the jet lag. Tong Yan and I will take you around tomorrow. I guess you don't know any place."

Shen Wenyin refused straight away: "No, take me home first, I'll go and scare that old guy Xu Yunsheng!"

Tong Yan: "..."

Xu Shi'an: "..."

Tong Yan had already experienced Ms. Shen's temper, and knew that she could really do this, so he asked, "Don't be so anxious."

"I'll go back and take a look first, so I can know myself and the enemy." She patted the driver on the shoulder and said, "Master, let's not go to the hotel, go home!"

Now Tong Yan and Xu Shi'an stopped talking.

The driver drove the car to the back door of Xu's mansion with ease. Shen Wenyin got out of the car and stood there for a long time without moving.

There is almost no big change from 20 years ago, except that the ginkgo trees at the entrance have become thicker and the roads have become narrower.She stood there and looked at it quietly for a while, as if she was establishing some kind of connection with the memories of the past, and finally smiled lightly. All the love and hatred were just a passing cloud in the end, which could not stand the scorching of time and the sun. .

Xu Shi'an opened the small door and stood hand in hand with Tong Yan at the door.

Shen Wenyin walked towards them and said, "Wish me good luck!"

Xu Shi'an hugged her: "Thank you, Mom!"

Shen Wenyin patted her son on the back, let him go, pinched Tong Yan's face again, pushed open the small door and walked in.

Xu Shi'an hugged Tong Yan tightly, and quietly listened to the movement in the yard.After a while, Uncle Chu yelled as if he saw a ghost: "Master, master, husband, madam is back, it's really madam!"

Afterwards, Xu Yunsheng reprimanded him angrily: "Your eyes are dazed, what are you talking about in broad daylight!"

Shen Wenyin's sharp female voice resounded in the yard: "Old Chu read that right, I'm back! Don't you welcome me?"

Xu Yunsheng was probably watering the flowers, and the watering can in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang" as Shen Wenyin said, and his own voice was startled: "Wen, Wen Yin..."

The two who eavesdropped on the corner couldn't help laughing, but they couldn't hear what they said later.

Xu Shi'an smiled and said: "My mother's power is really not small, even showing her face is so lethal!"

Tong Yan didn't seem to listen to him very much, looking up at the sky.

Xu Shi'an pinched his neck and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Tong Yan said: "The ginkgo trees have sprouted, look!"

Xu Shi'an looked in the direction of Tong Yan's finger, and a small clump of fan-shaped fresh green really appeared on the rough tree trunk.

"Yeah, spring is coming..."
