Dust is like a city

Huo Yong finally lost his usual demeanor after a brief silence, the calm mask was torn off on that old face, and obvious anger was on his face, even his voice raised a lot: "If it wasn't for me, you would think Can you have today? That’s right, Huo Rongxuan, I have to admit that you are much better than I imagined, and you can even surpass me in a few years, but think about what made you?! It’s this The environment created you, and it is this environment that forces you to work hard from a young age, otherwise would you really be able to make it to where you are today?"

Huo Rongxuan sneered, Huo Si frowned, and even Chen Qianchen's eyes were full of disapproval.

"Your parents did die in an accident, and it has nothing to do with your uncle!" Huo Yong took a breath and continued, "Yes, your uncle did do such shameful tricks for his superiors, but it's not that Going to kill people. Besides, Rong Xuan, you may not know that those clues related to your uncle were leaked to you by deliberately leaking the information..."

"What?" Huo Rongxuan looked at him in shock.

"You ask why? It's because I know that you have lost the protection of your elders, and you will grow up alone from now on. Grandpa is for your own good, so he gave you these senses of crisis and hatred, and supports you to live and work hard." Huo Yong laughed, "Look, the result is very successful, isn't it? You successfully avoided your uncle's eyes and ears, dispelled his guard against you, grew up slowly, and even took over the power of the company in one fell swoop. .”

"It's just a pity, you like men... Based on this alone, I can't regard you as the real heir of the Huo family, so you must give up your position." Huo Yong looked at Huo Rongxuan, "And Huo Si, and you Much like, I believe he can be at your level or even surpass you."

"So you repeat the old trick? Let Huo Si think that his father's death was intentionally done by someone else?" The person who said this was Chen Qianchen. When Huo Rongxuan and Huo Si were both upset, Chen Qianchen calmly spoke. .

Huo Yong glanced at Chen Qianchen, snorted coldly, and refused to answer his words.

Pushing the wheelchair, Chen Qianchen took a step forward slowly, and said, "Chairman Huo, maybe in your eyes, I am not qualified to speak here, but it's about Rong Xuan's business, that's my business, and Sisi They, you don't see them as family members, but I really see them as younger brothers and sisters."

"Hmph, you have face?" Huo Yong sneered.

Chen Qianchen ignored Huo Yong's sarcasm, and said calmly: "You said that Rong Xuan likes men, so you directly removed him from the list of successors, but do you know that he likes men, but you forced him to from?"

"What?" Huo Yong narrowed his eyes.

Chen Qianchen took a look at Huo Rongxuan: "Rong Xuan told me that since middle school, he decided to like men, decided. It's not because he really likes or is born with such a tendency, he just wants to let his uncle relieve his guard." The pretense he made, he wants to stay in the family, and he wants to continue to investigate the facts. Now he really only likes men, and it just shows the cycle of cause and effect. The malicious hints you gave him when he was a child are now blooming and bearing fruit , are you satisfied?"

A trace of resentment burst out in Huo Yong's eyes.

"Let's talk about Huo Si's father." Chen Qianchen said, "I believe what you said, the accident of Rong Xuan's parents had nothing to do with Huo Si's father, so the death of Huo Si's father is really sad. If you hadn't given Rong Xuan such hints when he was young, how could he think that Huo Si's father killed his parents? How could he want to take everything away? If the Huo family is just an ordinary family , After hearing that you can help your loved ones to cure the disease, who would not do it immediately? After so long, it finally reached the point of irreversibility. Aren’t these all the fruits you planted? "

Both Huo Rongxuan and Huo Si focused their gazes on Chen Qianchen's side, their eyes were full of sadness, for the sorrow of this family.

Yes, it doesn't matter how rich the Huo family is, the essence of this family is rotten inside, dying and walking away.

The main family, which should have been the most prosperous, now has only a few people left.

And the few remaining people still have to fight each other to the death for outsiders to see jokes.

Huo Yong's face was so ugly that it seemed suddenly covered with a layer of gray, and the hand holding the teacup was trembling faintly.

Chen Qianchen's words were like a knife, stabbing hard into his heart.

He hoped that all the children of the Huo family would be as ruthless, decisive, and capable as he was when he was young, even if his heart was darker for this, it didn't matter.

But now, his two sons are dead, and his two grandsons are not close to him, and one of them has even turned against him.

Elders in other big families usually have a lot of children and grandchildren at this age. Although there are frequent power struggles within the family, most people don't care about things at this age, and whoever wins the young people counts.

But what about him?

He is so old, maybe he will be buried in the ground in a few years, but he is still fighting with others at the peak of power.

If his two sons are still alive, why does he need to be here to preside over the overall situation now?

Even the fact that my eldest grandson likes men, I didn't expect this "cause" to still be in my body.

Suddenly there was an inexplicable sense of despair in my heart, the hand holding the teacup shook so badly that I couldn't help but spill some tea.

Chen Qianchen sighed softly: "Chairman Huo, let's call it a day... Whether it's Rong Xuan or Sisi, they should have had a better and more carefree childhood. If you didn't give them, then At least... let’s stop here, let them choose their own life in the future, what kind of path they choose to take, what kind of life they choose to live, they choose by themselves, and they will bear their own mistakes, right, success or failure. If you still want them Walking on the path you planned, then...maybe the tragedy will not stop, maybe one day it will be irreversible...I hope you can think about it."

Huo Rongxuan didn't expect Chen Qianchen to come and say these words today, he gently held Chen Qianchen's hand: "Qianchen..."

Chen Qianchen shook his hand lightly, and then looked at Huo Yong: "Chairman Huo, I have quit the entertainment industry. I have done what you asked me to do back then. I just want to tell you that I I will always be with Rong Xuan. Maybe you have your life experience and experience, but I am different from those people."

Huo Yong didn't speak.

Huo Rongxuan patted Chen Qianchen's shoulder lightly, and said gently: "Okay Qianchen, let's go back."

Chen Qianchen looked back at Huo Yong, nodded to Huo Rongxuan, and then said to Huo Si: "Sisi, come back with us."

Huo Si stood silently on the spot, lowered his head, raised his head from the shadow after a while, and said, "I want to go abroad."

"Eh?" Chen Qianchen was startled, not only Chen Qianchen, but also Huo Rongxuan and Huo Yong were surprised.

Huo Si glanced at Huo Yong quietly: "I don't know the truth, I will investigate it myself when I have the ability, but... I don't want everything from the Huo family, and I am fed up with being bound by the identity of the Huo family I'm born, I will transfer my shares to Shishi, and myself... I will use my ability to create a world comparable to the Huo family. "

Huo Yong was visibly shocked, looked at Huo Si in disbelief, and gave up everything about the Huo family... This was simply unimaginable and unimaginable to him.

Chen Qianchen was also a little surprised: "Going abroad? Where are you going?"

"I will choose to live on campus these few days, and then I will leave after going abroad." Huo Si replied lightly.

Today's confrontation made him feel tired. He didn't know whether what he believed was right, and with the matter of his father and mother, he thought that he might really need a long time to think seriously. Think about what you did right or wrong, and think about what you should do in the future.

However, regarding the confusion between the past and the future, there is one thing that is particularly clear-headed now, and that is to break free from the whirlpool of the Huo family. He doesn't want to be the next Huo Rongxuan, and he doesn't want to be at the mercy of grandpa anymore. He wanted to welcome life with the attitude he wanted, so he decided to leave.

"What about Shishi?" Chen Qianchen frowned slightly, and said with some concern.

Huo Si glanced at Chen Qianchen: "You will take care of her... right?"

"Sisi..."

"I'll come back to see her..." Huo Si gently looked away, and then looked at Chen Qianchen seriously, "Anyway, if you're here, you won't let her live a life she doesn't want to live... right?"

Chen Qianchen was silent for a while, then nodded: "Okay, let's go abroad. But these days you can't live on campus, you have to stay at home. Going abroad to study is not something that happens every year or two. You should stay more and get along with Shishi That's good...she will miss you very much..."

Horth drooped his eyelashes, hesitating a little.

Huo Rongxuan glanced at Huo Si, and said: "If you want to leave, go quickly, don't dawdle."

Huo Si gave him a cold look.

Huo Rongxuan ignored him, pushed Chen Qianchen's wheelchair and said, "Okay, let's go."

"Well, Sisi, please come back quickly." Chen Qianchen gave another instruction to Huo Si, and before Huo Rongxuan pushed the wheelchair away, he took a last look at the old man sitting in the backyard. Withered and yellow, although the waist is still straight, it can't hide the vicissitudes of life.

He was old, really old now.

With just one glance, Chen Qianchen has been turned away, his sight blocked, and he can no longer see.

I don't know if I will see him again. Will this old man realize it?Or do you choose to continue to persevere?

Chen Qianchen sighed, and didn't intend to think about it any more. He said and did what should be said and done.

Seeing that Huo Rongxuan led all the people away, Huo Yongcai slowly called to Huo Si: "Sisi, do you really... want to give up everything in the Huo family? Or, did you lie to your brother first? Wait until they relax their vigilance and then you will go to Huo Si." ..."

Huo Si frowned: "I said, I don't want everything from the Huo family, so grandpa doesn't need to look for me now, I can no longer help you."

"Why?!" Huo Yong asked hoarsely, "Why?! Do you know how much outsiders want to get a little bit of the Huo family's shares? What do you think? If you work hard alone, you may not be able to get it if you spend your whole life. The current wealth..."

Huo Si glanced at Huo Yong coldly, and replied in a cold tone: "Grandpa, not everyone's pursuit is the same as yours, and they want to hold the ones who have lived their whole lives. All the pasts are the tombs of thoughts. , and what I... want is the future, no matter what I do in the future, at least it is my choice, and I want to go."

Huo Yong's lips were trembling, and he didn't know what to say for a while. At his age, he had never been disobeyed by anyone, but today, he finally realized what it means to be betrayed by others. His sons are all gone. Gone, now even the grandchildren... don't even think about great-grandchildren.

Heh, probably this is the so-called "doing evil", just like what the surname Chen said, the cycle of karma and retribution all come.

Seeing that Huo Yong didn't say anything anymore, Huo Si bowed slightly and walked towards the stairs, went to the second floor to pack his simple luggage again, and then left this place.

Huo Yong just sat in the backyard like this.

He didn't know when the wind blew up, and the green bamboos in the backyard were rustling. He raised his head and looked at the sky. The dark clouds were low in the sky, and the summer thunder rolled muffled in the depths of the clouds.

It is going to rain.

Huo Si finally went home, even though his awkward personality made him not look good to everyone after returning home, Huo Rongxuan also ignored this younger brother, both of them had a posture of treating each other like nothing, but Chen Qianchen You know, that's already a compromise between the two of them.

Huo Rongxuan and Huo Si, these two brothers are actually very similar, no matter in personality or life experience.Fortunately, in such an environment, neither of them has grown crooked, and for Horth, he still has more room for growth.

After looking at many schools, Horth finally decided to study high school in England.For this matter, Huo Shi was extremely reluctant. Huo Si expressed that she would come back during the holidays under the pressure of tears. Chen Qianchen also comforted the little girl for a long time, saying that studying abroad was so hard. If she can bear it, she can Going with my brother, I successfully bluffed the little girl.

After dealing with the matter of Huo Si's going abroad, most of the summer has passed, and in a blink of an eye, it is almost autumn.

During this period of time, Huo Rongxuan's company didn't have any more problems. Since the last time it cooperated with Huang Danzhuo and successfully tricked the other party, the subsidiaries under Huo Yong's name have never made any other small moves. Some complicated cooperation matters were successfully completed in the end.

As for Huo Yong, I heard that he has returned to Canada.This time, he really went back.No one said goodbye, and quietly left the country.

Everyone guessed what he was thinking, but after returning, he let go of the original power of those subsidiaries again, and everything seemed to return to the original point, and nothing changed.

When Chen Qianchen thought about it occasionally, he felt that this old man was a bit pitiful, in various senses.

However, Chen Qianchen himself received better news in this cool early autumn, that is, his last movie "South City and North of Time" will be released.

Originally, this movie was planned to be released in the summer, but then Chen Qianchen was attacked, and then he came out in public. In short, things happened one after another. The investors and the film crew couldn't understand the minds of the masses, so they avoided the topic During the period when the popularity was the highest, now after the incident settled down, it finally chose to release it on this autumn day.

The promotion of this movie was already enough, and with the gimmick of "Chen Qianchen's last movie before his death", it was even more hyped. Even if it wasn't a summer movie, the discussion on the Internet was very high.

Xie Xia sent several tickets for the premiere. It was obvious that the director and the others wanted Chen Qianchen to watch the premiere.

But Chen Qianchen declined after thinking about it, and gave the tickets to Xie Xia, Kevin and others. On the day of the premiere, the media must have been waiting for him to appear. If he really appeared, he would definitely be caught asking questions. It may not be useful, even if he doesn't say anything, the media will write a lot the next day, so Chen Qianchen still doesn't plan to go.

Huo Rongxuan knew that Chen Qianchen cared about the film, but he was also worried about his safety, so he weighed it all, and finally felt that although he didn't go to the premiere, he picked a good time to book the show directly, with Chen Qianchen.

Of course, he booked more than one game, and the other games were reserved for the servants at home, Xingcheng and HEM employees.

Anyway, the scandalous news about the boss has long been no secret to these subordinates.

Of course, the popularity of the movie is one thing, and there are also many voices calling it bad or not. Because of Chen Qianchen's homosexuality, many people feel that watching the movie is awkward and decide to resist it.There was nothing to do about it, but fortunately, the voice was not too loud, so the film crew let them go.

But on the day before the movie premiere, something unexpected happened.

Lu Zhexiao uploaded a video about Jiang Gao.

In the video, Jiang Gao is dressed in a prison uniform. He has lost a lot of weight and his hair has been shaved off, but he is still looking fresh and refreshed. He does not look like a drug addict as people expected.

Jiang Gao confessed his crimes to the camera in this way, admitted how he and Yu Yang betrayed the group, and then denied that he took drugs, and said that he had posted the Weibo that caused a huge storm It was because of Yu Yang's instigation that Chen Qianchen had betrayed the news to the paparazzi, and he was obsessed with it when he was forcefully imprisoned in a mental hospital by the company. Under Yu Yang's instigation again, he almost committed an irreparable mistake.

He said in the video: "... I said all this here today, but it is actually selfish. I want to feel better for myself, so I sincerely repent... I regret it, I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

Jiang Gao said "I'm sorry" many times at the end of the video, his voice choked up, not like he was acting.

When Lu Zhexiao released this video, he only wrote one sentence: "We must always restore some truth to everyone. Maybe it is ugly, it is unbearable, and it catches us off guard, but that is a fact that we must face up to."

Needless to say, the appearance of this video of course set off a huge wave on the Internet. It was rumored that Jiang Gao was the perpetrator earlier on the Internet, and now everything is confirmed. The various relationships in ATCITY's early years were brought up for discussion again. As the only member still in the circle, Lu Zhexiao had mixed reviews of him, but he didn't care much about it.

Many people think this may be a hype, but after thinking about it carefully, they think it is wrong, because Jiang Gao is indeed in jail, and many reporters have also got affirmative answers after inquiring. He violated the criminal law. Within the scope of the hype, could it be that the hype of the movie two or three months later went to kill people?

So the only answer is that what Jiang Gao said is the truth.

But there are still many people who wonder why Lu Zhexiao didn't release it sooner or later. Why did he release the video and the truth now?

Regarding this question, Lu Zhexiao said lightly in an interview with the media: "Because I didn't know what to believe before, so I would say "I don't know" to everyone, but such an ambiguous answer eventually caused a lot of harm. At that time, brother Qianchen told me that if you don’t know, you can find the answer yourself. "

"So it took me a long time to find all the truth, details, and evidence during this period of time, and list them in front of Brother Jiang Gao. He, like me, was kept in the dark. , I want to speak with facts and tell him the truth." Lu Zhexiao said calmly, "So, this video is only released now. In fact, it doesn't make any difference to me whether it is later or earlier. The truth will come sooner or later. It will be known one day, it will never be too late, and Jiang Gao, like me, decided to restore it to everyone after learning the truth, so this video is made, and I hope Qianchen can see it ...Although this is a belated justice to him..."

Yu Yang's reputation was already bad enough, but now that Jiang Gao revealed the truth like this, everyone condemned him even more.

On the contrary, more and more people expressed sympathy for Chen Qianchen, especially the last video of the press conference where he bid farewell to the entertainment industry was found out again, and the image of sick and weak young people being aggressively questioned by the media was imprinted on the hearts of the public. Time has aroused the pity of many people, and everyone can gradually understand the reason why he left the entertainment circle.

Being framed time and time again by vicious teammates and almost killing him, who can continue to stay?

While sympathizing with Chen Qianchen, everyone is glad that there is an affectionate lover beside Chen Qianchen. In addition, this lover is in a latitude that ordinary people can't reach in terms of wealth and appearance, and this relationship has been sublimated by everyone. .

Everyone felt that Chen Qianchen was simply a legend in the entertainment industry!Even if his stardom is as short-lived as a shooting star.

But his story is good enough.

After such a commotion, the attendance rate of "South City and North of Time" suddenly increased by [-]%, and it was hard to find a ticket in many places. Even many late-night shows were full, and the situation was so hot that it surpassed the Lunar New Year stalls.

Regarding this matter, Chen Qianchen was a little dazed, he himself did not expect things to go this way.

For this matter, he called Lu Zhexiao. Lu Zhexiao talked about his visit to the prison, and also talked about Jiang Gao's situation. He said that Jiang Gao had really repented now, and it was he himself who proposed to record a video to restore the truth to the public. .The other two didn't say much, just chatted a few words, talked about each other's life and work, and made an appointment for a date that Lu Zhexiao didn't announce to go out for dinner, as always, just like before .

Chen Qianchen was very emotional in his heart. He thought that the moment he quit the entertainment industry, everything was settled, but he never thought that things in this world really have a beginning and an end, and there is a cause and effect.

Although it seemed a bit mysterious to say so, he really believed in it, and he believed in fate.

"What are you thinking?" Huo Rongxuan was sitting next to Chen Qianchen, there were only the two of them in the huge projection hall, the light from the film hit Chen Qianchen's face, the plot was a series of black humor, but Chen Qianchen didn't laugh.

Chen Qianchen came back to his senses, and said to Huo Rongxuan: "I'm thinking... the ending of this movie, I feel a little regretful..."

"Isn't the ending that the protagonist has reached the pinnacle of his life?" Huo Rongxuan frowned slightly, he had read some publicity anyway.

Chen Qianchen laughed: "That's the appearance, but he actually lost a lot, whether it was his first love or friendship, but the most regrettable thing is that he knows all of this very well and has not lost it, so he sees what he has lost more than anyone else. We all know...a very sad character."

"Why do you think of this all of a sudden?" Huo Rongxuan looked at him strangely.

"It's nothing... When I took this film, Director Lin told me that to experience this role, life is like a drama, and drama is like life." Chen Qianchen said, "I feel that now, I have a deeper understanding."

Huo Rongxuan looked at the big screen: "Is it your first love that made you feel so emotional?"

Chen Qianchen was stunned for a moment, then turned his head with a smile: "Are you jealous? I never mentioned him."

Huo Rongxuan glanced at Chen Qianchen: "I'm not jealous of a prisoner."

Chen Qianchen smiled: "Well, it has nothing to do with him. It's just that when I saw this video, I would think of many people, including Jiang Gao, Yu Yang, and many people in this circle. The face is very empty, and so is the protagonist. In the end, he decided to look for what he wanted... I was just thinking, if everyone could be more simple, stop being so greedy, and remember what they wanted in the first place... ...then it won't take a detour, will it?"

Huo Rongxuan touched the hair behind Chen Qianchen's ears, and commented: "Idealism."

"Probably so..." Chen Qianchen laughed.

Huo Rongxuan also bent the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly, then suddenly turned his head to kiss Chen Qianchen.

"Hmm..." Chen Qianchen was startled, not expecting such a surprise attack.

The screen of the movie is being placed on the stage of a colorful drama. The protagonist on the stage shuttles among the actors in dancer costumes, watching his companion pick up girls in greasy English, and he is winking at her goddess. The lens was gorgeous for a while.

"But you're fine like this..." Huo Rongxuan said to Chen Qianchen during the kiss, "Better than anyone else..."

Kind, beautiful, touching.

Chen Qianchen lowered his eyes, looked at Huo Rongxuan with gentle eyes, panting lightly, hooked his hands gently on the back of the other's neck, and touched the soft hair on the other's neck with his fingertips.

"I feel...God treats me very well, I am very lucky." Chen Qianchen said.

"Yeah." Huo Rongxuan held him in his arms, his lips and teeth lingering on the other's lips, "but the luckiest one is me."

"Qianchen, I love you." After speaking, he kissed Chen Qianchen immediately without waiting for Chen Qianchen's response.

Accompanied by the carnival music in the movie, Chen Qianchen clung to Huo Rongxuan and accepted the fiery kiss.

Chen Qianchen closed his eyes, and said silently in his heart——

--Me too.

In the picture of the movie, the actors of the stage play began to turn around, and the wide and gorgeous skirts drew waves like the sea one by one, the golden years, the ups and downs of music, one after another gorgeous transition like a maze.

But Chen Qianchen knew that his life would no longer be lost.

All his love is here.
