that's just a story

After returning home, Ying Zongheng handed over his coat to the housekeeper, loosened the tie around his neck, and asked, "Is Madam at home?"

"The lady is in her lounge. The lady said that if the master comes back, she has something to tell you."

"She didn't go out today?"

"No, Madam is at home all day today."

At the end of the year, Ying Zongheng, who is usually very busy, is so busy that he has to fly abroad several times almost every month.He is busy, and Mrs. Ying is also very busy, busy attending various events and banquets in the ladies' circle, and also accompanying her husband Ying Zongheng to appear on certain social occasions when needed.This is the first two months where both husband and wife are at home.

Coming to Mrs. Ying's exclusive lounge, Ying Zongheng first knocked on the door out of respect, and after getting Mrs. Ying's permission, he opened the door and entered.Madam Ying, who was sitting on the sofa in deep thought, turned her head and stood up immediately: "You are back. Didn't you say there is a business reception tonight?"

"I'll let someone else go." Ying Zongheng sat down beside his wife, took a sip of the hot tea brought by the maid, took a sip, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "What about you, why are you at home?"

Madam Ying's expression was a little serious, Ying Zongheng raised her eyebrows, and put down her teacup: "What's wrong?" There are not many things that can make Madam Ying show such an expression.

Madam Ying took a few slow breaths of displeasure, bent down and took out a document bag from the box under the coffee table, and put it on the coffee table: "Look for yourself."

"What?" Ying Zongheng took the file bag, touched it first, then opened the file bag and took out the contents.Inside the file bag is a 3D photo album.Clicking on the photo album, only looking at the first one, Ying Zongheng's expression became serious.After reading all the photos in silence, he put the photo album back into the file bag and looked at his wife with obvious disapproval in his eyes.

"You sent someone to investigate Ah Lin again? I thought you had reached a consensus with me last time."

"Zongheng! Your attitude shouldn't be why I'm investigating Ah Lin again, but what these photos show!" Mrs. Ying was obviously very dissatisfied that her husband had missed the point.

Ying Zongheng casually threw the file bag on the coffee table and said, "As a husband, I'm very glad that you attach so much importance to the issue of the Ying family's heirs. But Annie, I didn't expect you to be so conservative in your thinking. It's already It's 2079, not 2009. Even in 2009, the United States is very open to same-sex love. Now walking on the road, half of the ten couples are same-sex couples. Even if A Lin likes the son of the Shu family, and How? You shouldn't be like this, shocked."

Obviously, Ying Zongheng couldn't understand why his wife was angry.Then, he said something that made Mrs. Ying even more angry: "Before I married you, I had several male lovers. Don't you know all of these?"

Madam Ying said angrily, "This is different!"

"What's the difference?" Ying Zongheng rubbed his tired temples just after getting off the plane, and said casually, "The difference is that I married a woman, and Ah Lin may marry a man."

"Can you accept that we have a male daughter-in-law?!" Mrs. Ying took a deep breath, suppressing the anger of not being supported by her husband, "You should know how much I hope that Ah Lin was born by me, the real , I have the blood of you and me. Maybe you think I am too conservative. Even if Ah Lin marries a woman, he may need to find a surrogate in the future, but what if his wife can give birth to a child of the Ying family? The Ying family has been from the ancestors to your generation , have never had a male daughter-in-law, on this point, you should be more conservative than me!"

Ying Zongheng frowned slightly, he really didn't expect his wife to object so much.In his opinion, whether it is a male daughter-in-law or a daughter-in-law, his grandson may have to find a surrogate woman to be born.Even without the low global fertility rate, it is nothing new for two men to get married in this day and age, as long as Ah Lin can give the Ying family an heir.

Mrs. Ying took out the photo album again, put it in front of her husband, and found a dozen of them: "Look. The child of the Shu family is not only very close to A Lin, but also very close to A Long and A Jun. Even if our family can accept A male daughter-in-law, I can't accept this! If A-Long and A-Jun also like this son of the Shu family, what do you want the relationship between the three of them to do?! The winner, the Gu family and the Tao family have always been a whole , Aside from talking about the male and daughter-in-law, I can't allow anyone to destroy the relationship and stability of the three families!"

Ying Zongheng took the photo album and looked at it one by one again.In the photo, his son, Gu Jun, Tao Xianlong and the Shu family's child were indeed very close.And... Ying Zongheng turned to a photo. In the photo, his son was holding the child of the Shu family. The faces of the two children, A Jun and A Long, were unmistakably disappointed.Could it be that……

After pondering for a moment, Ying Zongheng put down the photo and looked at his wife again: "Then what are you going to do? Separate them? Forbid them to meet? This is the son of the Shu family, not a child of a commoner family."

Mrs. Ying clenched her fists and said carefully to her husband: "Can you go and find out what Shu Tianao means first? Where are his son and Ah Lin and the others now, and then we can come up with countermeasures."

"No." Ying Zongheng denied it immediately, shaking his head again and again: "I will not take the risk of making the winner and the Shu family quarrel because of this kind of thing. Shu Tianao loves this son so badly. You want me to ask him, Is your son riding three boats? Anne, where is your shrewdness?"

Mrs. Ying was in a hurry: "Then what do you say! I'll just say it straight, I don't like that child from the Shu family. Even if he and A Lin are a couple, I don't like him! The mistress of the Ying family must be able to support her. He can't afford the role of mistress."

Ying Zongheng was a little annoyed, and said: "When A Lin comes back, I'll ask him first. You delete the photos. Let A Lin know that you are investigating him again. Even I can't guarantee that I can bear his anger at that time. A Lin is not a child that you and I can control, don't forget this. We can mention him and give him advice, but we must not invade his privacy. Isn't it enough for you to suffer on this? "

"He is my son, I don't want him to regret it in the future!" Mrs. Ying was about to cry.The biggest regret in her life is that the son who should be her own son, who should have half of her genes, actually has no blood relationship with her.She often thinks that if the half of A Lin's genes belong to her, then A Lin might really respect her as a mother.She can confidently intervene in this matter instead of having to discuss it with her husband.

Ying Zongheng sighed, and kept rubbing his forehead: "Annie, it's just Ah Lin's business to regret it or not. I told you a long time ago that as long as the Ying family has an heir, as long as the winner can continue to go on, then I don't care what A Lin wants to do. As the sole heir of the Ying family, he has already taken on enough responsibilities. I believe that A Lin will not joke about the succession of the Ying family. With the current status of the winner, It is normal for Ah Lin to be a dandy who only knows how to eat, drink and play, but he is not. He has known what he should do since he was a child, and he has never evaded his responsibilities as an heir. Is this not enough? Do you still ask him Like a good child who obeys his parents in everything? He doesn’t do things that his parents don’t agree with? If Ah Lin is such a child, I will find a surrogate mother again, and the heir of a winner must not be a good child.”

"I just don't want him to get too close to that child from the Shu family..." Mrs. Ying immediately panicked. She was infertile and absolutely couldn't bear her husband to combine with another woman's egg to have a child, even if it was just a surrogate, because This will only highlight her incompetence as the winner's mistress.

"A Lin is the one who is looking for a wife, not you. A Lin is just 18 years old. I don't know why you are in such a hurry. Of course, you are worried that he, A Long and A Jun will have conflicts because of the child from the Shu family. Your worry is not wrong. I will mention it to Ran Ting and Feng Yi, and ask them to find out what A-Long and A-Jun mean. I will also find the right time to ask A-Lin. But don't worry about it anymore A Lin said last time that if you investigate him again, he will go for a vasectomy, and I can't take the risk."

Madam Ying bit her lip, put the photo album into the file bag, and said hoarsely, "I won't interfere anymore, and I will delete all the photos completely."

"You and Biting and Xiaoyun go shopping or go on vacation, don't keep staring at the three children." Biting and Xiaoyun are the mothers of Tao Xianlong and Gu Jun.

Mrs. Ying was disappointed not to have her husband's support.Ying Zongheng was also tired, he stood up and said, "I'm going to rest."

"……it is good."

Ying Zongheng left, Mrs. Ying thought for a long time alone, and left with the file bag containing the photo album.

In the largest basketball arena in Las Vegas, the teachers and students of Shenghuade are cheering. Their team has won the championship of this year's American private high school basketball interschool league after a difficult game.The main players hugged and celebrated with the cheering students, and thanked the audience who supported them for their tireless cheering and encouragement in this game.

In the afternoon there will be a competition for the third place, and after the end there will be the final awards ceremony.After accepting, Ying Zonglin, Shu Wenzhao and Shu Wenyu just waved to the audience, pushed away those beautiful audiences who wanted to hug them, and left first.

Shu Fanzhen, who was aggrieved by the episode before the game, was left with only the aftertaste of tension and joy of excitement.But when he thought about what he promised Ying Zonglin, he was a little apprehensive, not knowing what "strange" request the other party would make.

Ying Zonglin, Shu Wenyu and Shu Wenzhao who returned to the players' lounge were all very upset.They won the game, but they didn't get to hug and celebrate with their significant other after winning the game, which would have been okay, like after the semi-final.The fire was simmering in the hearts of the three, and the gang didn't ease with their venting on the court, but it burned even more vigorously.

Ying Zonglin, who drank half a bottle of water in one breath, wiped the sweat from his head, turned his back to Shu Wenyu and Shu Wenzhao who were changing clothes, and said, "I want to take Fanzhen out tonight, do you want to bring Hanhan and Enen together?" ?”

"playing what?"

Ying Zonglin turned around: "Racing car."

Shu Wenzhao was stunned, and looked at his brother. Shu Wenyu didn't answer whether he was going or not, but said, "Hey, you three, when did you call my family Luo Luo so close?"

Ying Zonglin asked calmly, "Are you against it?"

Shu Wenyu laughed, sat down beside Ying Zonglin, and asked, "Does Luo Luo object?"

"Of course he doesn't."

Shu Wenyu shrugged: "We are good brothers." Well, they would definitely object in the past, but now... He fixed his eyes on Ying Zonglin, who thought he would ask some "gossip" things, after all, Shu Fanzhen was involved.Unexpectedly, Shu Wenyu looked away after watching for a while, and reminded: "I suggest that you don't call Luo Luo that in front of my elder brother and the elders of my family."

Ying Zonglin's eyes darkened for a moment: "I thought you would object." In fact, he hoped that the two of them would ask.

But Shu Wenyu still replied ambiguously: "I just said that Wen Zhao and I are good brothers. Besides," he smiled at Ying Zonglin, "Both Wen Zhao and I think the three of you are not bad, at least we have won Luo Luo's friendship. Isn't it?"

It seems that Shu Wenyu and Shu Wenzhao are planning to play dumb.Ying Zonglin didn't make it clear, and asked again: "Are you going at night?"

Shu Wenyu looked at Shu Wenzhao, and Shu Wenzhao said: "Go, Hanhan and Enen haven't seen it live yet." Then, he reminded: "My elder brother and they will definitely know what happened today, and they won't let Luo Luo go back now , but back to New York... you three, prepare for the worst. My elder brother doesn't understand you, out of protection for Luo Luo..." You understand.

Ying Zonglin asked coldly: "You mean that guy will sue?"

"Very likely." Shu Wenyu and Shu Wenzhao said in unison, this is nothing new in their world.

Ying Zonglin is not afraid: "In the end, it depends on Fan Zhen's attitude, doesn't it? His choice to stay and watch my game today is enough to explain his attitude."

"Luo Luo obviously stayed to watch our (his brother's) game!" They said in unison.

Ying Zonglin shrugged and didn't make excuses, as long as he knew the truth.

Ying Zonglin, Shu Wenyu and Shu Wenzhao had lunch with their teammates and coaches at noon. In the afternoon, the players of Sheng Huade sat on the sidelines and watched the third place competition.Ying Zonglin didn't want to come, he had nothing to do now, but there was still an awards ceremony, Shu Wenyu and Shu Wenzhao didn't intend to stand alone, Ying Zonglin finally chose to wait until the awards ceremony.

In the third place match, Shu Fan really didn't show up.After the game, Shu Fanzhen, Han Han, and En En appeared in the auditorium, and Gu Jun and Tao Xianlong naturally accompanied them throughout the process.Standing on the podium, Ying Zonglin easily spotted Shu Fanzhen.When he held up the trophy, he also clearly saw that Shu Fanzhen was taking pictures, Ying Zonglin adjusted his facial expression, the corners of his lips curled up, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

This smile was frozen on the news websites of the major media in the United States. Everyone only said that the heir of the winner was very happy to win this game. You see, he smiled, but he did not know that his smile was just to give a certain person.
