detour

As soon as the door was closed, the voices of people walking back and forth in the hall were immediately cut off.

Although the various noises could no longer be heard, Zhuang Shaodong could still feel the curious gazes of the staff outside.He seldom brought anyone back to the office. Although Xu You had a gloomy face, he was a handsome guy, and he would inevitably attract attention wherever he went, so the staff in the hall could not help but look at them curiously.This made Zhuang Shaodong feel that his office was not an ideal place for conversation.However, he hid the things he was going to show Xu You in the office. On a hot day, he didn't want to run back to get the things before going out.With such troubles, he really couldn't cooperate with his nervous mood at the moment.

"What are you drinking?" Zhuang Shaodong looked helplessly at the big Buddha on the sofa.Xu You kept a gloomy face all the way, and had already worn away Zhuang Shaodong's little thoughts of surprise and joy.Especially when it was time for a face-to-face showdown, Zhuang Shaodong was not sure how Xu You would react, so he felt a little nervous instead.

Xu You glanced at him lightly, "I'm not here to drink tea and chat."

Zhuang Shaodong asked his assistant to bring in a pot of Biluochun, then closed the door with his own hands, and sat down obediently opposite him, "There are too many things, and I don't know where to start. You should ask."

Xu You followed him here, originally to uncover the doubts in his heart, and he was not polite to hear him say that, "You already knew about Song Shicheng?"

Zhuang Shaodong sighed slightly, "When my uncle left and Song Shicheng was transferred to my mother's side, I naturally guessed that there was something wrong with him. But..."

"But what..." Xu You never found out that when Zhuang Shaodong hesitated to speak, was it because the privacy of his family was involved?But having said that, why should he tell such an outsider to himself all the secrets about the elders in the family?Why did he believe that Zhuang Shaodong would honestly allow himself to interrogate him?

Xu You thought of Su Chengze's ambiguous words like a ghost, and felt a little numb in her heart. She subconsciously raised her head and glanced at him, only to see Zhuang Shaodong's hands were tightly clasped together, his brows were frowning, and his eyes showed a look of hesitation .

"What's the matter?"

Zhuang Shaodong raised his head, his expression was unprecedentedly serious, "Do you really believe what I say?"

Xu You frowned, "Just say it, it's none of your business whether you believe it or not."

Zhuang Shaodong smiled wryly, he knew Xu You would react like this.He got up and went to the back of his desk, opened a locked drawer with a key on the key ring, rummaged through it, found a few photos, and handed them to Xu You.

Xu You only took one look, and his face changed.

Five or six photos, all of which are photos of Zhuang Shijie and Song Shicheng.There are two photos taken at home, Zhuang Shijie is sitting on the sofa, Song Shicheng is holding his neck from behind, both of them have smiles on their faces, dear and dear.There are also a few photos taken while traveling, with a continuous snow-capped mountain in the background, and the two people in the photos are almost hugging each other. It looks like Zhuang Shijie is teaching him how to ski.

Xu You's mind was buzzing.When he met Zhuang Shijie, Zhuang Shijie was almost thirty, and it was normal to have emotional experiences.But knowing and seeing with your own eyes are always two different things, especially if this person is Song Shicheng...Because it was unexpected, the sense of shock was particularly strong.Xu You stared blankly at the photo in his hand, the vague doubts in his heart were finally connected by a clear clue.

It turned out to be the case.

Zhuang Shaodong carefully watched the expression on Xu You's face gradually change from initial surprise and surprise to blankness, and felt a dull pain in his heart.He pushed the teacup in Xu You's direction, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Xu You threw the photo back on the coffee table, and couldn't bear to look away, "When did they...?"

"Before you." Zhuang Shaodong thought for a while, "Zhuang Shijie dumped him because of you."

The corners of Xu You's mouth were raised slightly, and a sarcasm flashed across his face, "You always knew?"

Zhuang Shaodong nodded.There is nothing to hide about this. When he first met Xu You, he said that it was not suitable for them to be together.Of course, at that time, both Xu You and Zhuang Shijie belonged to the existence that he disliked. On the one hand, he felt that Zhuang Shijie was promiscuous, and on the other hand, he also felt that Xu You was purely cheap by following such a person, so his attitude was naturally not much better.It's just that although the attitude at the time was not good, looking back now, it may not be considered a bad advice.It's just... Can Xu You understand her own intentions?

Zhuang Shaodong looked at the ever-changing expression on Xu You's face, and found with some annoyance that since he met this person again, he had become less courageous.One step forward, one step back, always afraid to make a decision lightly.This feeling of complete powerlessness in the face of someone makes Zhuang Shaodong feel very frustrated.

"When he went to my house, he called himself Zhuang Shaodong..." Xu You paused, thinking that the reason why Song Shicheng wanted to make troubles under the banner of Zhuang Shaodong was probably because he thought Zhuang Shaodong's name was more convincing.After all, the real Zhuang Shaodong is Zhuang Shijie's nephew, a family, and the family always knows more about the inside story than outsiders, so when he vents his jealousy and resentment towards Xu You to Xu You's family, he can also be more sensitive. Of... be confident.

"It wasn't my instruction!" Zhuang Shaodong defended himself almost in fear, "I didn't know about it at the time!"

Xu You looked at him speechlessly, even if he came to question him, should Zhuang Shaodong act as if he was afraid of him?His lawless and arrogant look back then... really didn't match his present expression of fear and sincerity at all.

Xu You couldn't help taking a closer look at Zhuang Shaodong.This is undoubtedly a handsome young man. The passage of time has made the once unruly in his eyes put on a mature and steady coat. The outline of his eyebrows and eyes is still as sharp as before, and he still has an aggressive feeling when he loses his temper. .It's just that his eyes were full of gentleness from unknown when, as if when facing him, this person had infinite patience.

Xu You's heart moved slightly, but his eyes sharpened unconsciously, "I want to ask, when he went to my house, he called himself Zhuang Shaodong, did he mean it himself, or..."

Zhuang Shaodong looked a little embarrassed, "I can ask Song Shicheng for you."

That means he doesn't know either.Xu You couldn't help but sneered, "Since you don't care about the position of the owner of the dealer, why do you want to cooperate with your mother's plan? This is what I don't understand the most."

Zhuang Shaodong sighed in his heart, he felt that this question was more difficult to answer than the one just now, "No matter what, she is always my mother. Maybe you don't know, my father rarely returned to the dealer since he was born. I My mother has no other support other than me, if she wants the banker, I will help her get it, as for whether she can keep it or not, it depends on her ability."

Xu Youxin said that you are filial.

Looking at his expression, Zhuang Shaodong guessed what he was thinking, and couldn't help laughing bitterly, "Otherwise, what should we do? Break away from the mother-child relationship with her? Or let her go up and down, and hide on the sidelines to watch the fun?"

Xu You didn't speak.

Zhuang Shaodong sighed, "I'm also annoyed by these things, but it's more complicated when I'm in it."

This has nothing to do with me.This sentence rolled around in Xu You's throat, but he didn't say it for some reason.Xu You turned her head and said coldly: "Shouldn't you continue to help her keep the Patriarch's seat?"

Zhuang Shaodong shook his head, a look of desolation flashed in his eyes, "Even if it's my own mother, who would be willing to let someone be a gunman for the rest of his life?"

Zhuang Shaodong's words made Xu You suddenly think of his mother. She was just an ordinary employee when she was young, with a gentle personality, occasionally a little nagging, and always gave herself the best piece of meat when eating. son.In Xu You's view, the mother's role should be like this. Xu You really didn't know what to say in such a weird situation like the dealer's.

Zhuang Shaodong also showed a tired look on his face, "What else do you want to ask?"

Xu You was silent for a moment, then said slowly: "I don't understand, since Zhuang Shijie's sexuality has long been a secret, why didn't your mother and son do anything before me?"

Zhuang Shaodong looked at him, and his expression became inexplicably complicated, "The position of the owner of the dealer has always been passed on to his son. My uncle is the youngest son in the family, so he is not qualified to be the head of the family. And he is the son born to my later grandmother. My father is not a brother of the same father and mother. My grandfather once promised me the position of head of the family to me, the grandson of the dealer. My mother did not expect that my grandfather would change her mind, and handed over the power of managing the dealer to me without any warning. Uncle. My mother negotiated with my uncle, but my uncle refused her request, so..."

"So, Song Shicheng was recruited by your mother out of jealousy, or out of anger at being abandoned, and then started a great cause of revenge under false publicity and selfishness." Xu You sneered, and really felt that Song Shicheng's actions...fucking dog blood.

Zhuang Shaodong remained silent.

After all, I am just cannon fodder in the game of fighting for power and profit.Xu You thought, what a frustration.

What a fucking setback.

Those who have the ability to toss people, those who have no ability are tossed by others.This is the truth that Xu You knew early on, but at the moment when he knew the truth, he still had the urge to blow up the dealer.

Coming out of Zhuang Shaodong's office, Xu You drove aimlessly on the street.

He originally thought that he would at least feel sad, but he didn't expect that after wandering around the streets of the island city for a long time, the feeling in his heart was still numb, as if all the senses had collectively gone on strike. It was not as easy as uncovering the truth. There is no memory of the melancholy of the year, let alone the anger of being calculated by others.Or, he knew that he was being plotted back then, but it didn't matter so much who did the plotting.

Still the same sentence, so what can I do if I know it?

Could he still kill Song Shicheng and Zhuang Liyunxin, and then go to Australia to find Zhuang Shijie?Back then, he knew that Zhuang Shijie was actually a twin, and that he could marry a wife and have children, and take care of his elders, so he could be regarded as living an ideal and comfortable life.How could he destroy his life with so-called feelings?So who has he become?

What's more, deep in Xu You's heart, he always felt that even if they got together again, it would no longer be Xu You and Zhuang Shijie, the two people who loved each other back then.The time, place, and characters have all changed, so how could he hope to restore the original beauty with this kind of seasoning?

Everyone says that seeing each other is worse than missing each other.

Xu You patted the steering wheel lightly, comforting herself full of vicissitudes: It's better...it's better to miss each other than to meet each other.
