Reborn Tiger Poison Eater

Anyone who is too smart will inevitably attract people's jealousy.What's more, this smart person lives by his side, eats, eats, and gets along with him day and night, and quietly sees his every move, joy, anger, sorrow, and joy.

Yan Yaoqin came into contact with the family business in his teens, and the first skill he learned was "controlling people".

The most effective way to control a person is to know what he wants.The so-called not being obsessed with riches and honor, not yielding to force, and not being moved by poverty and lowliness, are all ultimately subject to one's own desires.Some people love fame and wealth, some people are greedy for beauty, some people value integrity, and some people seek happiness.The snake strikes seven inches, and one blow is fatal.

But facing Zhuo Yang, who put on a pure and innocent face, Yan Yaoqin was helpless.

Although the Zhuo family's financial resources and status are not as good as the Yan's family, they are still one of the giants in the shipping industry. Whether Zhuo Yun is there or not, Mr. Zhuo will never treat this grandson badly, and his account will naturally not be short of money.Regarding the Yan family's career, Zhuo Yang was also very self-disciplined and never asked too much.As for hobbies, although I like painting and have made some achievements, it is far from the level of obsession.Reading is good or bad, taste is neither light nor heavy, and treats people neither close nor distant.

This young man is like a difficult problem, lying in front of Yan Yaoqin.Can't see clearly, can't understand, can't make sense, simply can't understand.

Because of Yan Yaoqin's deliberate avoidance and alienation, Zhuo Yang rarely took the initiative to talk to him.No matter eating in the restaurant, working in the study, taking a walk in the garden... When he was with his father and brothers, he always consciously played the role of a listener.Even when they encounter topics of interest, they mostly smile lightly and refuse to interrupt easily.

So the first time he took the initiative to invite Yan Yaoqin to play baseball, Yan Yaoqin was so surprised that he refused.After all, the father and son have been together, and they have not fulfilled the responsibility of nurturing. The most important thing is that it is really rare for this son to make any demands.

Whether you like him or not is one thing, but whether you want to act like you like him or not is another.

The night before the date, Yan Yaoqin was sitting in the small living room drinking tea, Zhuo Yang passed by, talking on the phone while walking.It seemed that a friend asked him to go fishing the next day, and Zhuo Yang's voice of refusal was moderate, just enough to reach Yan Yaoqin's ears: "No, I have an appointment to play golf with Dad tomorrow, sorry..." and Dad three Words, deliberately accentuated.

Yan Yaoqin tasted the hot tea calmly, but felt funny in his heart.No matter how good his brain is, he is still a bit childish. He wanted to remind himself that it would be better to speak out directly, why bother to act a one-man show.

I couldn't sleep at night, and I thought about my son's actions again. After thinking about it, I suddenly realized that I was the one who was stupid.With Zhuo Yang's intelligence, how could he be so clumsy even in acting?He was trying to sell a loophole, to let Dad know that he was going out of his way for a trivial date, to prove how much he valued being able to play ball with Dad.

It's like a child eager to be hugged and caressed. He has already learned to walk, but deliberately stumbles and falls to attract the attention of adults.

Hey, Yan Yaoqin sighed quietly with his eyes closed, this son is really... interesting...

Although Yan Yaoqin was willing to fulfill the rare request of his second son, he had no choice but to receive an emergency call from his assistant Zanwu early the next morning. A safety accident occurred in Yan's Star Sea City development project on the outer island, and the workers were very emotional.In this case, as the big boss, he should rush to the scene to stabilize the morale of the army.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Yaoqin asked Zhuo Yang apologetically, "Or next time..."

Zhuo Yang waved his hand nonchalantly: "Playing, it will be the same another day. Dad has to deal with the business. I feel sorry for turning down my friend's invitation yesterday, but if I rush now, there is still time."

He is easy-going on the outside, but proud on the inside.No matter how much you desire love and care, you don't want to humble yourself to get it, and you don't want this feeling to come from guilt and pity.

Yan Yaoqin nodded hastily.The situation was urgent, and he didn't have the energy to think about a child's mind.

It took a lot of trouble to quell the incident.A temporary press conference was held, a solatium plan was formulated, and the aftermath was discussed. It was not until the evening that the work came to an end.

On the way home, I saw the small stadium in the middle of the mountain under the setting sun from a distance, and suddenly remembered that it was the place where I had agreed to play with Zhuo Yang.For some unknown reason, he ordered the driver to go around by the side road.

The sky was getting darker, and the sunset was as yellow as fire. Yan Yaoqin accidentally glanced at it, and saw the young man sitting cross-legged in the field from a distance, alone, against the light, and the hazy golden edge was outlined by the sun, like a thin silhouette.

He threw the ball vertically into the air, caught it lightly, and repeated this mechanical movement, looking sad and lonely.

Perhaps recalling his boyhood, Yan Yaoqin's heart was inexplicably touched.

The driver, Awan, looked at the expression and slowly stopped the car.After pondering for a long time, he plucked up the courage to remind, "Mr. Yan, today...it seems to be the second young master's birthday..." After following the boss all day long, he naturally knew that he was not as fond of this son as he seemed on the surface, so he quickly separated the relationship , "I also heard from Butler Ling, I don't know if it's accurate."

Yan Yaoqin was stunned, he had forgotten Zhuo Yang's birthday.In other words, I didn't want to remember at all.

Since the drama of father's kindness and son's filial piety is going to be performed, it should be performed with more devotion.Looking at the watch, there was no time to prepare anything, so he ordered his men to wait outside, walked across the green lawn, and walked straight to his son.

Sensing the sound of footsteps, Zhuo Yang raised his head slowly, stared at it for a long time, his face showed a complex expression intertwined with confusion and shock, and soon, he burst into an intoxicating smile, like a blessing from heaven, with extraordinary joy.

"Father, why are you here?" The boy's eyes were as bright as stars.

Yan Yaoqin put on a relaxed face: "Then why did you come? Are you making an appointment with your friends to fish on the grass?"

Zhuo Yang hesitated a little, and blinked slyly: "I booked the venue in advance, and I spent a lot of pocket money. If I don't come, it will be wasted. I am petty, and I love money."

Looking at the dusty bat beside him and the ball he had been playing alone for a long time, Yan Yaoqin suggested: "Why don't we play together for a while?"

"Forget it," Zhuo Yang shook his head immediately, "It's getting late, and it's inconvenient for you to wear a suit and leather shoes."

Yan Yaoqin tugged at his tie: "I'm fine."

"But it minds, it will feel disrespected." Zhuo Yang raised his hand and shook the ball playfully.

His expression was smiling, and his tone was also joking, but Yan Yaoqin knew that he was unhappy, and he was blaming himself imperceptibly for not respecting him enough for this little guy.

"Well, since you can't play, in order not to waste your pocket money, let's... sit here and chat."

Zhuo Yang readily agreed to Yan Yaoqin's decision.

It is difficult to find a topic between two complete strangers.After a moment of silence, Yan Yaoqin randomly started a conversation: "Ayang, you must have been so obedient since you were a child, right? Have you ever gotten into any trouble?"

"Of course!" Zhuo Yang recalled earnestly, his eyes drifting, "When I was a child, there was a large hornet's nest on the tree in the backyard. The neighbors said that it was terrible, but I didn't believe it, so I grabbed a wooden stick and stirred it twice... ..."

"and after?"

"Afterwards, I quickly gained weight, so swollen that even my mother couldn't recognize it!" He puffed up his cheeks, narrowed his eyes, and deliberately pretended to be a balloon-blown grimace.Yan Yaoqin didn't pay attention, and was amused to laugh out loud.

Smiling and laughing, Yan Yaoqin stopped laughing, he knew that the matter would not be funny in the end: "It's so swollen, isn't it serious?"

On the contrary, Zhuo Yang laughed briskly: "Of course it's serious. I stayed in the ICU for two weeks and even shaved off my hair. It took a long time to grow it out. During that time, I didn't dare to go out."

"Didn't Zhuo Yun tell you that stabbing a hornet's nest would hurt you?" Yan Yaoqin was somewhat dissatisfied.

"Mom, she...has a lot of things to do, and she has no chance to teach me everything." Speaking of his mother who is not alive, Zhuo Yang's expression darkened, "Mom is a woman, and I want to protect her. Every time she walks into the backyard, she I'm trembling. So I want to try to see if I can solve that big trouble by myself. At least, I know that next time I poke a hornet's nest, I have to wear a protective suit."

Yan Yaoqin took out a cigarette, lit it quietly, took two deep breaths, and asked casually, "Ayang, is it hard for a child without a father?"

Zhuo Yang shook his head: "I don't know... I remember when I was a child, when my classmates quarreled, the one who couldn't win would always say angrily, 'I'm going to tell my dad!' But what to do, I don't have a dad at home! So all along, what I hope most is to have a tall and strong dad by my side. I hope he can hold my hand and walk into the school, sit under the stage to attend my graduation ceremony, and play ball with me. Can take me to drink the first glass of wine in my life...drunk, put my arms around my shoulders like a brother, share my childhood embarrassment, share my first masturbation experience, and swear this is a secret between the two, never Say it..."

"Zhuo Yang, Dad...is it really that important?" A long puff of smoke blurred the vision of the two of them.

Through the misty smoke, Zhuo Yang looked intently at his father's stern face without anger: "Those who have possessed others may not feel it, but for those who have never owned it, they are rare treasures. The more If you can’t get it, the more you think about it, the more you will paint it beautifully. You know, when I learned from my mother that my father is the famous Yan Yaoqin, I was so surprised that my jaw almost dropped!”

Yan Yaoqin raised his eyebrows: "Oh? I don't look like a father?"

Zhuo Yang laughed foolishly: "On the contrary! When I was a child, I always imagined without thinking, what would happen if someone was my father? I imagined Jackie Chan, because he is strong enough, and I imagined the Chinese police in the neighborhood. Long, because he is righteous enough, and he also imagined the school history teacher, because he is knowledgeable enough... Then, he also imagined you..."

Yan Yaoqin was surprised: "You live in Australia, how do you know me?"

"I live in a Chinese neighborhood, and there are many Chinese programs and newspapers!" Zhuo Yang raised the corners of his mouth proudly, "I even collected one of your covers. It was the ribbon-cutting time of TV City, and you were surrounded by many stars. Majestic and majestic, like a king. The bright and beautiful men and women all around seem to be your decorations..."

As a man of the hour in Lidao, Yan Yaoqin has received countless applause and praises, which he has long turned a blind eye to.But these exaggerated praises came out of his son's mouth, but they had a different taste.

But soon, this fleeting joy was replaced by doubts.This smart son said such a thing on such an occasion, and wanted to gain his love and trust, whether there was another purpose behind it, whether there was some ulterior connection with the Zhuo family, whether he wanted to be strict What does home get...

Alas, true or false, let him go.

Looking at the sky, the last ray of sunlight struggled to sink into the horizon, Yan Yaoqin stood up, brushed off the grass leaves from his clothes, and said casually: "Ayang, happy birthday! Is there any gift you want? Dad can buy it for you .”

"No need," the boy's smile was surprisingly bright and clear in the twilight, "I've already got the best gift in 15 years!" The voice shyly faded away, almost submerged in the dust.
