[Rebirth] Back to the big tree to enjoy the shade

Because he has seen the power of rumors, Ling Yun has always avoided them as much as possible.As for Chen Mengzhen's illness, it was said that the exacerbation was caused by rumors about his life experience, which made Ling Yun even more shy away.But the rumors about him that he heard this time made him dumbfounded.

"...Grandpa really believed it. It was Brother Wu who beat Wang Pengxu. It really is..." Ling Yun was driving to Tang's house, thinking of the conversation with the old man before, he couldn't help but tell Li Haoping.After going back that day, Ling Yun didn't mention this matter at all because he was afraid that Ling Jimin would be worried. He didn't expect the old man to come back from his morning exercise early this morning to say such a jaw-dropping rumor.

When Li Haoping heard this, he almost burst out laughing.

"I can still misinterpret it like this. It really is a waste of my heroic performance!" Li Haoping shook his head pretendingly, but he knew in his heart that some people deliberately created specious rumors, and they must have other intentions.This capital is indeed as Tang Xiushi said, the situation is complicated and there are constant disputes.But in this way, will Ling Yun be involved?

"Will it affect you?" Li Haoping asked with concern. He knew Zhao Changan, such a deep-minded and ambitious person, he would not give up on wooing him easily, and Tang Xiushi also showed his affection for Ling Yun. It is difficult to guarantee that Zhao Changan will not start with Ling Yun.

Ling Yun's heart warmed, thinking of Tang Xiushi's analysis before, he shook his head.With Li Haoping and Tang Xiushi, and the fact that the Ling family didn't have a clear position, Zhao Changan and Wang Pengxu would not retaliate against him.As for wooing, it shouldn't be necessary, after all, he and Li Haoping are just brothers, no matter how good the relationship is, Li Haoping can't change his position for him; as for Tang Xiushi, it's even more distant.

Li Haoping felt relieved, and suddenly burst out laughing with a "puchi" sound, his voice getting louder and louder, sitting in the passenger cab laughing and leaning forward and backward, causing Ling Yun's expression to be inexplicable.

"Brother, why are you so happy all of a sudden?"

"No, I'm thinking about that Tong Juncheng. Isn't he worried about what's going on between you and Xiushi? Hearing this rumor this time, he's probably going to be mad." Li Haoping managed to correct his expression, but his eyebrows and eyes were full The smile still couldn't dissipate.

The corner of Ling Yun's mouth twitched, feeling that it was not funny at all, and even felt uneasy about today's trip to the Tang family.It suddenly occurred to him that the Tang family must have heard such rumors, and even if they knew the truth, they might still have suspicions about him and their senior brother.After all, just like my grandfather analyzed, if the Wang family in Xicheng District made friends with the Zhao family because of this, it would not be a good thing for the Zhao family's political opponents, the Liu family.Although the Tang family was neutral, the older generation and the Liu family had a deadly friendship.

After Li Haoping finished speaking, he was a little annoyed, afraid that the sensitive Ling Yun would think too much, but when he turned his head, he saw the slightly distorted expression of the younger brother, and asked quickly, hearing his troubles, he smiled.

"Junior brother, don't think about those messy things. Anyway, you don't plan to go into politics in the future, so don't care what they think of you. Besides, those who are in high positions, which one is not exquisite in heart, really want to do something, just grab the reason."

Ling Yun's heart relaxed, and for some reason during this time, his sense of gain and loss became more serious.In fact, it is right to think about it. Even if he lived for more than ten years, he still has a little more experience in business than others, and he has no chance of winning against those old foxes. He is good at dealing with those, and it is better to face them calmly than trembling.

The car drove into the garage of the Tang family, and when Tang Xiushi and Tang Xiuwen came out together, what they saw was Li Haoping with his head held high and his face proud, and Ling Yun, who was smiling calmly and elegantly.

"Xiao Yun, your senior brother seems very happy today?" He asked about Li Haoping, his eyes fell on Ling Yun, but he was more focused.

Although Ling Yun was aware of Tang Xiushi's anomaly, but thinking of how approachable Tang Xiushi was when they met at the club last time, and thinking of Li Haoping's suggestion, he nodded with a smile, but the topic of rumors was not mentioned.

Tang Xiuwen walked by Li Haoping's side, and looked at Li Haoping upon hearing this, but his eyes were full of narrow smiles.When he had dealings with Li Haoping a few times, they were always at a disadvantage. Thinking of Li Haoping's possible reaction, Tang Xiuwen couldn't help laughing.

The four of them walked into the old house of the Tang family together. Father Tang Hongsheng, his two sons in the capital, and Tang Xiushi's younger siblings were all there. Because of the summer vacation, Ling Yun even saw a few little Doudings.

Ling Yun bowed to Tang Hongsheng and the others in awe. These senior generals who have worked so hard for the country and the people, even if they are retired now, are always worthy of their respect.Li Haoping on the side also restrained his impetuosity and sincerely said hello.

Although the men of the Tang family are from the army, they are in high positions and imposing, but they are very kind to them. After the consultation, they sat down and chatted with Li Haoping about current affairs, politics and economics. Ladies and gentlemen He was more concerned about how to take care of his relatives' bodies, so Ling Yun was not neglected.Of course, the Tang family obviously paid more attention to Li Haoping, surrounded by a group of people, Ling Yun looked at the eldest wife of the Tang family, Bian Hongxiu directing her daughter Tang Yanxiu, and did not know how many times she enthusiastically refilled tea, brought various desserts and fruits for Li Haoping , kept booing and asking for warmth.

Ling Yun was a little strange about this, especially when he saw Li Haoping was so hot that he began to sweat, wriggling his body on the sofa uncomfortably, obviously he couldn't bear such enthusiasm.

"What's the matter?" Tang Xiu asked lightly.

Ling Yun blinked, only to realize that he didn't know when Tang Xiushi came over, and Tang Xiuwen, who was talking to him, was dragged away by a little girl with more than a dozen slender braids.

"Are you worried about Li Haoping?" Tang Xiushi followed his gaze and smiled slightly.

Ling Yun intuitively found that Tang Xiushi's smile was very meaningful, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration.

"How old is Yanxiu this year?" Ling Yun felt a little unbelievable.Even for Li Haoping, who was so famous in his previous life, if he wanted to marry a girl from the Tang family who was a giant in the military like Tang Yanxiu, he should be considered a high climber.

"22, one year younger than you, but you will only be a senior in the second half of the year, what's wrong?" Tang Xiushi was a little surprised, why did the topic turn to his younger sister's age, Ling Yun is not a curious person.

Ling Yun saw Tang Xiushi's calm face, did he guess wrong?Ling Yun looked again at the scrutiny in Tang Yanxiu's eyes that could hardly be concealed, and Bian Hongxiu's unnatural enthusiasm.

"My senior brother has been single for almost a year." Ling Yun said suggestively, thinking that his grandfather also said that he would introduce a partner to his senior brother. Could it be that the Tang family is also planning this?Then Tang Xiuwen must have said a lot of good things about his senior brother.

"Oh." Tang Xiushi finally understood what Ling Yun meant, and couldn't help but chuckled. "My sister has a boyfriend. But my mother doesn't know about it, so I have to keep it a secret."

"Then my senior brother?" Ling Yun didn't care about Mrs. Tang's plans, but he didn't want Li Haoping to get involved in such matters.I also know that if Tang Yanxiu disagrees, Mrs. Tang can only back down in the end.But he glanced at Tang Xiushi, this elder brother even knew about his sister's love affair, so he probably wouldn't sit idly by.Thinking of this, Ling Yun relaxed and laughed. "Yanxiu is ten years younger than my senior brother, I think my aunt will figure it out."

"Do you think the age difference between the two is too large to be suitable?" Tang Xiushi narrowed his eyes and asked in a gentle tone.

Sensitively, Ling Yun noticed that the atmosphere around him was stagnant, and looked at Tang Xiushi in surprise.

"Of course not." Ling Yun didn't understand how Tang Xiushi came to this conclusion.

"That's good." Tang Xiushi said softly, seeing Ling Yun's rarely puzzled look, with a smile on his lips, he stood up and stretched out his hand very naturally. "Aren't you worried about Haoping? Let's go, let's save the scene."

Ling Yun raised his hand subconsciously, and was pulled up. Then he realized that his face became hot, and he quickly took his hand from Tang Xiushi's warm palm. Seeing that there was no surprise on Tang Xiushi's face, he subconsciously looked around. , Seeing that no one was paying attention, he sighed carefully, but he didn't realize that all his actions fell into Tang Xiushi's eyes.

"After this time, I'm afraid Haoping won't dare to visit the door." Tang Xiushi took the lead to walk towards Li Haoping, joking casually.

"Brother doesn't know." Ling Yun relaxed seeing Tang Xiushi's casual look.He has an abnormal sexual orientation, and because of his personality, he will avoid physical contact with the same sex, even his elder brother Ling Qijun is no exception, not to mention that Tang Xiushi's previous lover was also a man. Now it seems that he is too careless.Ling Yun smiled embarrassedly, and strode forward.

"Junior brother, come and sit down!" Li Haoping saw Ling Yun and Tang Xiushi coming to save the scene, his eyes lit up, and he got up excitedly, wanting to give Tang Xiushi his seat and let him deal with his mother and sister by himself.

"Don't bother, just sit here." Tang Xiushi put his hands on Ling Yun's shoulders, pressed him on the sofa opposite Li Haoping, and then took the seat between the two of them.

"Mom, what are you talking about with Haoping? It's so lively." He watched Ling Yun and Bian Hongxiu say a few words on the scene, and then took advantage of the situation.

Bian Hongxiu looked a little embarrassed and worried. She knew just now that Li Haoping was one year older than Tang Xiushi, and had already dated several girlfriends, some of whom were even talking about marriage. Is there any special relationship, but the son who has always been calm, even beat someone because of Li Haoping. This is too different from his previous behavior.

This made Bian Hongxiu, who originally wanted to investigate and find faults, not only discouraged, but also sad for her son.Only then did she realize that no matter how good her son is, the man he likes may not necessarily like the same sex, and even if he likes men equally, the other party may not necessarily have the determination not to marry and have children for the rest of his life.In this way, do you want to make your proud son a shady lover?In the past few years, Bian Hongxiu, who had been heartbroken, became more and more pessimistic as she thought about it. She only felt that this youngest son would never get what he wanted in the future and would be lonely all his life.

Tang Xiushi realized that he was just asking a question, but his mother was absent-minded and sad, and quickly looked at his younger sister Tang Yanxiu.

"Brother, I didn't say anything. When Brother Li mentioned his ex-girlfriend, didn't mom think of you?" Tang Yanxiu muttered with a pun.

It was only then that Tang Xiushi realized that he had made a mistake. He only wanted to divert Li Haoping's family's attention, and even forgot his rich emotional experience.

"Mom, Haoping doesn't have a girlfriend right now. You don't know a lot of friends. You can help me introduce him. Haoping is planning to settle in Kyoto." Tang Xiushi looked at his elderly mother softly. marriage, but for the love of their parents, they also want to repay as much as possible.This is also one of the most important reasons why he arranged to transfer back to Kyoto this time.

Bian Hongxiu's eyes lit up, she looked at Tang Xiushi's calm expression, then turned her head to look at Li Haoping who was smiling a little stiffly, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"Mom, it's almost time. The third aunt will be here soon. Why don't we go to the kitchen and see if we can help?" Tang Yanxiu persuaded.

Bian Hongxiu nodded, and got up with her daughter's considerate support, and when she walked forward, she saw Ling Yun who was sitting quietly with a smile on her face, thinking that she was distracted just now.It seemed that Ling Yun had been left out in the cold, so he quickly made amends.

"Xiao Ling, our two families don't move around very much, but we still have friendship. Although it's your first time here, don't be polite with Auntie. If you have any taboos or likes, tell Auntie, huh?"

"Ah? No!" Ling Yun quickly shook his head, facing Bian Hongxiu's amiable appearance, but felt a little trembling in his heart.He himself rarely had the opportunity to talk to female elders of this age group, and whether it was the mother of Tong Juncheng in the past or the current Chen Mengzhen, the impression and pressure on him were not very good.

Tang Xiushi saw that the roots of Ling Yun's ears were starting to turn red, and the light in his eyes flickered slightly, secretly rejoicing in his heart.If the introverted Ling Yun encountered the situation just now, he might wish he could get into the ground.

Seeing Ling Yun's performance, Bian Hongxiu was not as mature and introverted as before. Thinking of his background, a woman's natural pity arises spontaneously. She looked at Ling Yun kindly, and turned her head to tell her son to take good care of him, but Just seeing Tang Xiushi's attention on Ling Yun, he couldn't help being startled, then looked carefully at Ling Yun whose expression soon returned to normal, moved his lips, and sighed.
