Overlord, he played off

Jiang Xuecheng was still in a meeting when he received a call from his mother again. Looking at the caller ID on the phone screen, Jiang Xuecheng was stunned for a moment. Ever since he was told that Aubrey was coming to China, Jiang Xuecheng had never communicated with his mother again. Telephone.

Jiang Xuecheng actually knew that except when she was very busy, her mother would videotape with Aubrey almost every day, but it was only with Aubrey, Jiang Xuecheng didn't even get in the picture once.

Jiang Xuecheng looked at the phone call, and the first thought that flashed in his mind was that his mother was going to tell him something about Aubrey again?

But in the next second, a thought came out uncontrollably, because in fact today is still a special day. Although he didn't pass it, today is his birthday. Jiang Xuecheng had a little bit of luck in his heart, maybe, maybe it was because his birthday?

Jiang Xuecheng called the meeting to a halt, walked to the corridor with his mobile phone, and almost nervously connected, he even took a slow breath to avoid the nervous vibrato in his voice, "Mom."

The other party only said one sentence, concise and to the point, "I'm back in my country, let's have dinner together tonight."

Jiang Xuecheng looked at the hung up phone with mixed emotions in his heart.

It seems to be able to conclude that the other party is not here for her birthday, but there is another voice in my heart saying: Isn't it an appointment for dinner?This is something that has never happened before. If it is not because of the birthday, what else can we make an appointment for?

Jiang Xuecheng's nervousness and apprehension were extended until he got off work. He rushed to the hotel according to the address on the text message, half an hour before the appointed time.

Jiang Xuecheng sat in the car, opened the window, held a cigarette in his mouth, and watched the guests coming and going at the entrance of the hotel. He slowly finished smoking a cigarette, checked that the time was almost up, Jiang Xuecheng opened the door and got off the car.

When I opened the door, I thought of something again, took out a mouth spray from the secret compartment and sprayed it on my mouth a few times, and then took out perfume from the secret compartment to suppress the smell of smoke on my body.

Jiang Xuecheng closed the car door, looked at his own figure reflected in the car window, adjusted his neckline according to the car window, and then walked into the restaurant.

Walking outside the private room, Jiang Xuecheng stopped in his footsteps, the palm of his hand holding the doorknob was cold, he stood outside the door and took a deep breath, realizing what it means to be close to home.

He opened the door and walked in, with a gentle smile and elegant demeanor.And as the door gradually opened, the person sitting inside gradually overlapped with the figure of the mother in memory.

But what is different.

Jiang Xuecheng thought that his eyes would turn red with soreness, but seeing the mother in his memory showing tenderness and love to another child, he only called out strangely, "Mom."

Ms. Ji, the mother, looked up at her son who had grown up, and also only said faintly, "Here we come."

There is no intention of filling the gap between the nearly 20 years of separation with sensational words.

So Jiang Xuecheng understood, all the luck in his heart died together with the past 20 years.

"elder brother!"

Aubrey interrupted the awkward silence.

It was only then that Jiang Xuecheng realized that Aubrey was there. He hung his head and was being scolded by his mother. Seeing Jiang Xuecheng now seemed to have seen a savior, and he began to greet Jiang Xuecheng with joy.

Ms. Ji squinted at him, and he lowered his head in frustration.

Jiang Xuecheng looked at this scene, the intimate interaction between mother and child, he seemed like an outsider.

After Jiang Xuecheng sat down, the waiter served the food.

There are many dishes that Jiang Xuecheng likes, Jiang Xuecheng thought, at least she still remembers these.

After moving her chopsticks, Ms. Ji picked up a few dishes for Aubrey, and smiled at Jiang Xuecheng, "Your brother is causing you trouble."

Jiang Xuecheng looked at the dishes in Aubrey's bowl and remembered what the butler said. Aubrey's taste was the same as his.

He was being selfish again.

Jiang Xuecheng took a sip of water, "No trouble."

"Eat more, you are usually busy." He said and picked a dish for Jiang Xuecheng.

This dish was indeed Jiang Xuecheng's favorite dish when he was a child, but unfortunately Jiang Xuecheng's irregular work and rest in the early years hurt his stomach, so he couldn't eat such an overly spicy taste.

Jiang Xuecheng didn't say anything, took a bite and put it aside, the taste of the food in his mouth changed, it was not spicy, but bitter.

"Aubrey is a little mischievous, not as good as you were when you were a child. He loves to eat ice cream. How can you let him eat it? I'm not around to watch, but he eats it badly."

Jiang Xuecheng paused with his chopsticks, and suddenly felt no appetite, "It's because I didn't take good care of him."

"Forget it, I know you are busy on weekdays."

Jiang Xuecheng stopped talking. Not only was the meal not for his birthday, but it seemed to be to blame him.

Jiang Xuecheng didn't move his chopsticks much the whole time, and Ms. Ji asked, "Is the food not to your liking?"

Jiang Xuecheng paused for a moment, then shook his head, "It's inconvenient to eat too much at night when there is a banquet."

"I forgot, you are very busy now."

Ms. Ji seemed to be trying her best to invigorate the atmosphere, but unfortunately, the more she talked, the more tense the atmosphere became, and people didn't know how to respond.

Aubrey broke the silence with a curious question, "What banquet."

I remembered what the butler said in the morning. Today is my brother's birthday. Could it be a birthday party?

Jiang Xuecheng said: "It's what you asked last time, the annual celebration of Fruit Video."

Aubrey blinked, oh, not a birthday party.

Thinking of something, Aubrey suddenly looked at his mother and then at his brother. The corner of Aubrey's mouth curled up into a smile. Mom didn't know that today was his brother's birthday...

Looking at Jiang Xuecheng's expression, he was obviously not very happy. What, did brother get hurt because his mother didn't remember his birthday?

Haha, interesting.

But he wasn't going to say anything.

No, maybe you can say something, Aubrey smiled viciously, quietly pulled out the latch next to the dial of the watch with the hand under the table, turned it, the second hand of the watch stopped rotating, and the time was set back a few times hours ago.

Aubrey glanced at his watch casually and exclaimed.

Ms. Ji frowned and looked at her younger son, "What's wrong?"

Aubrey raised his wrist and showed the dial to his mother aggrievedly, "The watch seems to be broken."

Ms. Ji didn't take it seriously, "Just buy another one."

Aubrey looked a little sad, "This is my birthday present from my mother."

Ms. Ji was very happy to see that her son liked the birthday gift she gave her so much, "Then your mother will give you another watch for your birthday this year."

"No," Aubrey said coquettishly to her mother, "how can you tell me in advance such a surprise as a birthday present, mom must prepare well, and then give me a surprise."

"Okay, okay, mommy must be well prepared." Ms. Ji was amused by her younger son, and she couldn't stop touching his temple hair, her eyes were full of kindness.

Hey, he said that. Mom hasn't remembered yet. It seems that she is worrying about what birthday present to prepare for him now?

Aubrey took a peek at Jiang Xuecheng, saw Jiang Xuecheng lowered his eyes, expressionless, and a little disappointed, until he saw Jiang Xuecheng's fingers holding the wine glass so hard that they turned slightly white, the outer wall built by this brother who always looks perfect A gap opened, allowing him to glimpse his inner emotions.

Aubrey laughed happily, his eyes as clear as lake water were full of evil pleasure.

The perfect brother, the mother who loves him deeply, it seems that everything is different from what he imagined, and it is not in vain to go back to China.

Aubrey suddenly regretted that he couldn't stay in China longer. He had found a way, but he didn't have time to return the torture that his brother had brought him over the years.

But it doesn't matter, there will always be opportunities later.

Jiang Xuecheng didn't pay attention to Aubrey's petty tricks, or he noticed it, but he just didn't bother to pay attention to it.He will not lose his reputation to care about Aubrey.

He just didn't expect that the first meeting in many years would be like this.

In the second half, Jiang Xuecheng went out to answer the phone, and before he came back, Ms. Ji said, "Is it time? Don't delay, leave early."

As for his birthday, Ms. Ji didn't mention it all the time, she just said: "I came back this time to take your brother back. I'll trouble you to take care of him these days."

Jiang Xuecheng had a meal and was going back so soon?

.... also good.I don't know when the next meeting will be and he is no longer looking forward to it like in the past, so he doesn't seem to care much.

Jiang Xuecheng cleared his mind of thoughts, only shook his head, "No trouble."

It was still early for the evening banquet, but Jiang Xuecheng couldn't find a reason to stay, so he left directly.

After Jiang Xuecheng left, the door was closed, and the mother and son in the box looked at the door before they started talking.

"How are you doing at your brother's house?"

"It's okay, he doesn't care much about me."

"Don't care about you?" Ms. Ji frowned.

"He's busy and doesn't seem to like me very much..."

Jiang Xuecheng changed his clothes and went straight to the banquet. At the banquet, there were a lot of wine and wine, and Jiang Xuecheng felt stuffy in his heart. When there were too many people, he felt that he couldn't breathe.

Less than halfway through the banquet, Jiang Xuecheng left Qi Xin behind and found an empty place to breathe by himself.

Jiang Xuecheng opened the window, lit a cigarette, and the cold wind hit his face through the window, causing pain, but Jiang Xuecheng didn't notice it, staring at the crescent moon outside the window in a daze, and he didn't know what he was thinking, maybe he didn't think about anything.

After taking a few puffs of a cigarette, he burned himself to the end. The scarlet flame was about to burn to his fingertips, but was pulled away by a slender hand, and pressed into the ashtray beside him to extinguish it.

Lan Linlang was wearing a champagne-colored dress, with long hair and shawls, bright and charming, "What's the matter? Fourth young master is impatient for this occasion again?"

Lan Linlang, the eldest lady of the Lan Group, and Jiang Xuecheng's senior sister, the two have known each other since childhood, and their relationship is justified.

Jiang Xuecheng looked back, took the wine glass handed over by Lan Linlang, clinked glasses with her, took a sip, and said, "I'm so annoyed."

"What's bothering you?"

"There are too many things to worry about."

Jiang Xuecheng obviously didn't want to mention it, and Lan Linlang didn't ask much, but suddenly looked in one direction, her eyes seemed to be shining, "Whose family is that child. He looks good."

Miss Lan got engaged to the eldest son of Zhixin Group the year before last, and they were married in a business relationship. The two had no relationship basis. Although they were engaged, they still played their own way.Miss Lan likes little wolf dogs, and everyone in the circle knows that she likes to pack starlets.

Jiang Xue glanced casually after hearing the words, but saw that the person being accosted by many people was clearly Huo Kun who hadn't seen him for a long time.

Jiang Xuecheng's face darkened, and he said sadly, "My family."

Miss Lan didn't take it seriously, "It's a pity to let such a good seedling go to your house, I'm sorry, I'm going to poach someone."

"My man, try it."
