All the elders in the family were dead, Zhao Qiqiu and Lin Zhao—one was an illegitimate child, the other was a powerful adopted son. When they returned to the old house they hadn't visited for a long time, the atmosphere was full of tension from the very beginning.

Not to mention Lin Zhao, Zhao Qiqiu walked into the house once again, as if he had walked into his previous life. The old wood exuded a precious smell, the floor was shiny and dark, and it looked cold and strange everywhere. unpleasant memory.

Lin Dongqing, who hadn't seen him for a long time, sat lazily in the corner of the round sofa. He used to be dressed as an elite, but today he looked like another person frankly. He didn't get up when he saw the two coming in. In broad daylight, the wine glass in his hand was already dirty inside and out. Squinting his drunken eyes, he stared at Lin Zhao and smiled inexplicably.

Zhao Qiqiu glanced past Lin Bankrupt Dongqing, and sensed the fiery and vicious gaze from the side. When he looked over, he met the cannibalistic eyes of the twins.

Since that incident happened three years ago, the life trajectory of the twins who lost their spiritual roots overnight has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and they have become useless people early.

Lin Dongqi used to have well-developed limbs, but now his body is naturally far from what it used to be. However, his brother Lin Dongfu is half as thin as his twin brothers, with sunken cheeks, revealing a mean bone, and sitting in a wheelchair. In this weather, his legs There was a thick blanket on top, but it couldn't cover up the cramped and trembling legs from time to time.

Zhao Qiqiu couldn't help but smiled at Lin Dongfu, which was the friendliest smile since entering the door.

Lin Dongfu's lips turned purple when he was angry. He could tell that Zhao Qiqiu was doing well, and Zhao Qiqiu could also see that he was doing "good"—in his previous life, Lin Dongfu died not long after being treated by him, and the twins were as he once said. Only Lin Dongqi is left as a fool, and now Lin Dongfu is still alive, isn't that "good"?

Lin Zhao handed Lawyer Xu's business card directly to his subordinates. After carefully reading the words on it, he stuffed the business card into his suit pocket with a cold face, and listened to Lin Zhao's order: "You go to the side hall first and wait."

Lawyer Xu on the side saw his business card in the pocket of the man in the suit, and couldn't help but feel a little chill down his back, hating that he just came back from abroad and didn't know the news well.

He arrived on the mountain yesterday afternoon. Lin Dongqing was drunk all the time, which made him confused. He didn't expect the situation to be so serious. The two brothers of the Lin family had already quarreled to such an extent that they brought their hands down to attend the family reunion openly and aboveboard!

Luo Qingzhi rushed over with a smile on her face, and said to Lin Zhao's subordinates: "Yes, yes, it's not easy for you to come so far, Aunt Liu? Aunt Liu! Send these guests to the small hall for a cup of tea first."

A vague promise came from the kitchen, and Aunt Liu hurried over in a panic, and brought Lin Zhao's men to a side hall not far away.

It seems that there is no one else in the house except Aunt Liu and a servant.Luo Qingzhi was also actively involved in the kitchen affairs, and personally started, from the time she came in to now, she was busy in and out of the house.

Lin Zhao sat down on the sofa calmly, as if he was not curious about anything, Zhao Qiqiu felt happy and sat beside him.

For a while, no one spoke, let alone wanted to talk. Lin Dongqing was drunk, sneered from time to time, and also kept silent.Until the sofa beside Zhao Qiqiu sank, the sharp-faced boy who was as thin as a bamboo pole came over and said, "Brother Qiqiu, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Being courteous is either adultery or stealing, especially since this child was not a thing since he was a child, Zhao Qiqiu cast a noncommittal glance at Lin Dongdong, waiting for the next sentence.

Lin Dongdong furtively glanced at Luo Qingzhi's busy figure, as if he was afraid that she would hear her, so he turned around and smiled sarcastically: "I heard that you are receiving training in the youth class of the Xinjian Bureau?"

"how?"

The extremely gentle attitude attracted Lin Zhao's sideways glance, and after a pause, Lin Zhao slowly looked away again.

Lin Dongdong smiled shyly: "Brother Qiqiu, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I don't want to study at home anymore. I also want to join the Xinjian Bureau. My spiritual roots and apertures have been opened. Do you think my qualifications can be admitted?"

Zhao Qiqiu: "I can't."

"..."

Lin Dongdong was silent for a long time, adjusted his sitting posture as if there was a thorn in his buttocks: "Why not?"

Zhao Qiqiu smiled: "Their requirements are quite high."

Lin Dongdong may have stayed on the mountain for a long time, and he didn't know that the admission requirements announced on the Internet were actually just to comfort the general public, so Zhao Qiqiu also told the truth, Lin Dongdong's qualifications are really far from being poor if he doesn't take sponsorship or other crooked ways.

Blinking and bumping into a nail, Lin Dongdong's expression froze for a moment, and he slowly put away his flattering gesture. He fixedly glanced at Zhao Qiqiu for a few times, and he didn't know what he thought of. Then his expression relaxed again, as if nothing had happened. Before getting up, he said to Lin Dongqing who was not lightly drunk:

"Brother, is it useful to drink it?"

When Lin Dongdong left, the atmosphere became even more awkward. Attorney Xu took the initiative to bring two cups of tea and put them in front of Zhao Qiqiu. Lin Zhao said lightly: "Come on, call me here in the name of the old lady. ?”

Lawyer Xu forced himself to calm down and sat back in his seat, but saw Lin Dongqing dry up the rest of the wine in one gulp, the cup bumped against the table, and finally settled down, as if a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, he said vaguely:

"What's the rush, afraid of staying here overnight?" After speaking, he stood up shaking, passed by Lawyer Xu, and squeezed the latter's shoulder: "Don't forget to call me for dinner, I'll go first...to sleep for a while!"

On the other side of the hall, Lin Zhao's subordinates have been observing here. Seeing the two talking, they seem to want to come over. They didn't expect Lin Dongqing to do this at all, and they all watched Lin Dongqing go upstairs.

On the contrary, Lin Zhao's expression was calm, and he gave an order according to the time, and someone from the side hall rushed over with a computer bag.

Not long after, Lin Zhao was obsessed with work and couldn't extricate himself, and the atmosphere around him was even more stagnant. Lawyer Xu, who was sitting not far away, dared not show his air, including the tutor surnamed Jiang, who couldn't help but walk around this area when he passed by. He smiled wryly and went upstairs.

Zhao Qiqiu was playing Tetris on his mobile phone, and when he heard the wheelchair go by behind him, he didn't pay attention to it at all. He didn't know how long it had passed, but a rumbling thunder disturbed him.

Zhao Qiqiu raised his eyes silently, the courtyard outside the large floor-to-ceiling windows was already dark, and the light was covered by dark clouds. In a short time, it looked like evening outside.

The people in the side hall seemed to be afraid of the heat, so they opened the windows. At this time, the wind blowing in with the roar of thunder carried the smell of the rainy season.

Under Zhao Qiqiu's watchful eyes, the rain was pouring down, white smoke rose from the ground of the courtyard, and the sky darkened several degrees in an instant.

He lowered his gaze, and casually pulled the newspaper on the table.

That's okay, anyway, seeing what Lin Dongqing and Luo Qingzhi did, I didn't intend to let them go down the mountain today.

Ok?

Zhao Qiqiu blinked, this newspaper is very interesting, the date is some time ago, but the content is quite fresh.I glanced at the inside page and turned back to the cover, only to see a small headline at the bottom of the homepage of this edition of "Haijing Super Express" which reads - "Fish and Sheep" for freshness!The brothers clashed again, and the original son ran away from home!

But the title is low-key, but the article takes up a lot of space. After reading this article, Zhao Qiqiu realized that the current situation of Mingminglou was indeed the same as what he said, no wonder he had to hide in the temple.

I also looked at a few photos accompanying the pictures. Most of them were photos of Mingminglou’s elder brother Xianxianhai and his father Xianzhun, as well as photos of Xianxianhai attending a charity event. The only blurred back was secretly photographed by Mingminglou when he left the airport.

"Come on, it's time to serve!"

Zhao Qiqiu's thoughts were interrupted by Luo Qingzhi, and he lazily closed the newspaper—Xin Xianhai had been gaining the limelight by relying on his spiritual root aptitude in the past few years, whether intentionally or not, the news about Ming Minglou did not appear in the mainstream media at all.

He stretched his waist and stood up, he should think about himself first, anyway, the suppression of the boss in the early stage is just a cloud, some people are just pretending to be smart.

After all, Lin Dongqing drank too much. Aunt Liu went upstairs and called out several times, but they all came downstairs with a look of embarrassment on her face. Luo Qingzhi rolled her eyes, but she let it go.

The main character was not there, no matter what Luo Qingzhi tried to persuade everyone on this big table, everyone moved their chopsticks lazily. Only Lawyer Xu and Mr. Jiang were full of praise for Luo Qingzhi's cooking skills.

"Why don't you eat?" Lin Zhao's low voice suddenly sounded.

Zhao Qiqiu let out a long breath, and Lin Zhao frowned, "Where is it uncomfortable?" As he spoke, his eyes fell on the dinner plate in front of Zhao Qiqiu. I noticed that these two bean sprouts were clipped twice.

"No," Zhao Qiqiu casually fiddled with his chopsticks: "I'm not hungry yet."

Not to mention seafood delicacies, even if Luo Qingzhi made a full banquet of Man and Han, he wouldn't have an appetite.

Lin Zhao wiped the corner of his mouth and glanced at Luo Qingzhi: "I've been here before, and I've eaten my meal. I'm taking Zhao Qiqiu down the mountain now."

Luo Qingzhi was startled, and quickly glanced at Zhao Qiqiu, thinking that the two whispered just now, and Zhao Qiqiu was urging Lin Zhao to take him down the mountain, so she hurriedly said to Zhao Qiqiu, "Qiqiu, the rain is so heavy, it's dangerous to go down the mountain. Why are you leaving all of a sudden?"

Zhao Qiqiu looked at her with an expression that seemed to be saying that it's boring to see her anyway, why do you persuade her?

"Your eldest brother and second brother haven't discussed the matter yet. There are many accidents going down the mountain, and the outside is so chaotic. At least the things passed down by the ancestors are kept in the house. It's very safe. Otherwise, just stay for one night and go down the mountain tomorrow!" Luo Qingzhi She smiled patiently, and looked at the dark sky outside after speaking, she smiled too much, and seemed to be a little stiff: "This is a day to keep people, how can you rush to get in the rain like this?" .”

Zhao Qiqiu was noncommittal, he didn't think about leaving, but Lin Zhao just left when his temper came up, did he have anything to do with him?

From the corner of his eye, he saw a big hand touching the cigarette case, picked it up, tapped it on the table twice, and pulled out a cigarette.

Lin Zhao held a cigarette between his fingertips but didn't light it. He raised his hand and scratched his forehead. His expression was as calm as usual, as if he was thinking about something, but only those who knew him well could know—that subconscious action indicated that at this moment At least one thing was bothering him at the moment.

With a squeak, Lin Zhao frowned, and when he looked up, he saw Zhao Qiqiu holding a lighter in his hand, and those fingers that seemed to be snapped together were on fire, and he wanted to light a cigarette for him.

Pausing for a moment, Lin Zhao leaned over without changing his expression, the scarlet flames entrained the tobacco layers to collapse, and the cigarette was lit, but his brows frowned even tighter.

Zhao Qiqiu saw a puff of smoke coming out of Lin Zhao's mouth, only to realize that the latter sighed silently.

Even Lin Zhao looked at him suddenly with helplessness.

Zhao Qiqiu: "..." Huh?

Lin Zhao slowly picked up a plate full of vegetables, pushed it in front of Zhao Qiqiu, and said slowly: "You really have a bad temper."

"..." Hmmmm? ? ?

Zhao Qiqiu thought that I was provoking someone again, his hands sank, and Lin Zhao stuffed the chopsticks back.

The two looked at each other, and Lin Zhao said expressionlessly, "Eat a little, if you don't eat, we'll go down the mountain."

"...Going down the mountain just to eat?"

My eldest brother cares about me so much, so I will forget about the person who was going to beat me up yesterday.

Lin Zhao glanced sideways at the people at the table, and said mockingly, "Is there anything else?"

The old lady was moved out just to let him go up the mountain. I thought it was some people jumping over the wall in a hurry, but in fact he was too careful.These wine bags and rice bags of the Lin family are no longer worthy of negotiating with him.

When Lin Zhao said that he was going to go down the mountain, the table was completely quiet. Now that Lin Zhao spoke again, it was clearly heard by other people, and everyone's expressions suddenly became brilliant.

The hatred in Lin Dongfu's gloomy eyes could no longer be concealed, it was completely exposed, and his hand gripping the wheelchair was gradually tightened, and he sneered at Lin Zhao: "The Lin family can't keep you now. That's right, if you've been enough of the Lin family's dog, you can't do it anymore. I have to change my taste, I don’t know how it feels to be a godson to Jin Beijin, and to be a godson to an old lady...Ah!!"

With the crisp cracking sound, Lin Dongfu's whole head turned to the side.

Just when he was talking nonsense just now, a saucer flew straight over and hit him on the forehead.

Zhao Qiqiu sat down again, as if his appetite had returned, he took the initiative to pick up the chopsticks.

Lin Zhao looked away from Lin Dongfu, who was covering his head, and frowned at Zhao Qiqiu——Sure enough, this kid has been in a very bad mood since he entered the old house. Could it be that something unpleasant happened before when he didn't know it? ?

Thinking of this, Lin Zhao's face became even more unsightly, and he looked suspiciously at Lin Dongfu again, and touched the other dinner plate with his fingers involuntarily.
