Master, wait a minute

The end of the year, the beginning of November.

Entering winter, the weather is obviously colder.Guan Xizhi was worried that his son would be cold, so he would only allow the child to play outside for a while at noon.Opportunities are rare, and Chen Jin has always cherished them very much.Watering the flowers, teasing the birds, entertaining themselves, the little ones can have fun too.

But today...

Guan Xizhi's brows could not help but wrinkle, is this child a little unhappy today?Does he have any troubles?

Guan Xizhi stood beside his son, Chen Jin looked up, then lowered his head, and said sadly: "Master, Daddy, I haven't seen Daddy for a long time."

It turned out to be worrying about this.

"Your father is busy!" Guan Xizhi explained to his son on behalf of Chen Zhongbo.

Children don't understand and don't care about whether they are busy or not.The little guy put down the flower pot in his hand and asked Guan Xizhi, "Have you seen Daddy, Master?"

"Yes, I saw it last night!"

Guan Xizhi told the truth that Chen Jin was dissatisfied, "Then I will sleep with my wife's father too. Then I can see my father." Chen Jin held Guan Xizhi's hand with a look of anticipation.

Guan Xizhi smoothed his son's soft and thin hair, and said with pity: "Your father will come back very late, and you may not be able to see him when you come to sleep! What's more, you are an older child, you should sleep."

"Then, how can I see Daddy?" Chen Jinyue said more and more pitifully, his pretty face was full of frustration.He wants to see Daddy!

Guan Xizhi couldn't bear to see his son like this, "Your father has been busy recently, it's the end of the year, isn't it like this before?"

Guan Xizhi comforted him with soft words, but unfortunately Chen Jin didn't listen to him, the corner of the little guy's mouth twitched, "Daddy wasn't busy last year, even at the end of the year!"

He does not mean that.

Guan Xizhi didn't know the situation last year, and when there was no comparison, he felt a little strange.Chen Zhongbo was a little weirdly busy!Guan Xizhi had never done business, he just had a few friends who were doing business, none of them were as busy as Chen Zhongbo.Busy as if the business has just started.

how so?Did he run into some trouble?

Guan Xizhi never asked Chen Zhongbo, and he didn't ask Chen Zhongbo out of concern. Even if he asked, Chen Zhongbo would not say anything, not a word.Guan Xizhi was quite puzzled, he and Chen Zhongbo almost talked about everything, why couldn't they have a happy conversation about this matter?What is the reason?Guan Xizhi couldn't figure it out.

Classes at Hanlin Academy start at Si in the morning.At the hour of Chen, Guan Xizhi was going to wake up his son, wash up, get dressed, and then have breakfast. He was so nervous that he couldn't stop for a moment.

As soon as he got into the carriage, Guan Xizhi was taken aback, "Jin'er, what are you doing?"

I saw Chen Jin, who got into the car one step ahead, was crouching in the corner looking around.

"Drawing! My drawing!"

Chen Jin was so anxious that his head was sweating. The painting he was going to give to Qi Qi disappeared, and he remembered to put it in his schoolbag!

In desperation, Guan Xizhi had no choice but to search for it with his son.Schoolbags, cotton pockets for lunch, and cloth bags for cotton-padded clothes, they were opened one by one and looked through one by one.

"Jin'er, did you open these bags this morning?"

Chen Jin raised his head, bewildered.

Guan Xizhi smiled slightly, "If you haven't opened it, then the painting must still be at home, because you didn't put it in your schoolbag."

Suddenly enlightened, Chen Jin just wanted to get out of the car to look for it, but was immediately stopped by Guan Xizhi, "You wait in the car for Daddy, I'll get it back for you." His son is small, and he can't run smoothly. Wasted a lot of time.Guan Xizhi was amused, this little guy has always been a steady kid, why did he lose everything this time.

Entering the backyard room, Guan Xizhi went straight to the desk in the inner room.Chen Zhongbo didn't go home last night, Guan Xizhi slept with his son, and the little guy was still reviewing his homework on the desk.There were a lot of papers piled up on the desk, and one of Guan Xi rummaged while looking through them.He even forgot to ask what his son painted, how can he find it?

Suddenly, a line drawing of flowers came into view.Guan Xizhi hesitated, this should be the one his son forgot, right?The painting style is relatively vague, and the painting skills are definitely not skills.

That's right, this is it!Grabbing the drawing paper, Guan Xizhi hurried out.They can't be late for class!

Pushing open the door, he bumped into Chen Zhongbo who had just returned home. Guan Xizhi was a little surprised and excited, "Are you back?"

"what are you doing?"

Chen Zhongbo's tone was weird, Guan Xizhi didn't have time to think about it, "I'll take something."

"Take what?"

Guan Xi was taken aback, and then handed over the paper in his hand, "It's Jin'er's painting, he forgot to bring it."

"Jin'er's painting?" Taking out the blank paper, Chen Zhongbo unfolded it, and his expression changed instantly, "Is this Chen Jin's painting?"

"Really?" Guan Xizhi looked down, isn't this painting by Chen Jin?He just felt that the layout of this painting was simple, with a few outlines and even the coloring was rough.Among the pile of drawing papers, this is the one most like a drawing by a little guy.

"Guan Xizhi, do you know Boss Bai of Caixianglou?"

"do not know!"

Answered so simply!Chen Zhongbo narrowed his eyes slightly, "Guan Xizhi, how long have you been trying to lie to me?"

"Cheat—" Guan Xizhi was baffled, and he couldn't understand Chen Zhongbo's accusation at all.What did he lie to?

"Yesterday afternoon, Caixianglou announced the new season's Shu embroidery pattern, which is exactly the same as my pattern."

His gaze became fierce, Chen Zhongbo held the drawing paper, his arms couldn't help shaking slightly, "This embroidery picture has been kept in the room, besides me, only you and Guan Xizhi have seen it!"

Guan Xi took a few steps back, "You mean, I stole your unique embroidery picture?"

For a moment, Chen Zhongbo hesitated.He sees countless people, so he can naturally see who is clear and who is dirty, Guan Xizhi...

Shaking his head desperately, Chen Zhongbo ordered himself not to soften his heart.Who else could he trust now?Anyone can betray him!This is perfectly normal.Holding Guan Xizhi's arm tightly, Chen Zhongbo refused to relax for a moment, he would not soften his heart, even if he was forced, he would force the answer. "Is it you? Did you do it?"

"No! I didn't! I didn't do it!" Guan Xizhi couldn't help roaring.He didn't know which one was the embroidery picture at all.If he had known, he would not have given it to others.Neither his personality nor his self-esteem allowed him to do such dirty things!

Chen Zhongbo's face was frosty, Guan Xizhi looked at him, and suddenly felt that the person in front of him was strange, "You, you don't believe me?"

"You want me to believe you? Why should I believe you?!" Chen Zhongbo turned around abruptly and left ruthlessly.

The surrounding air froze instantly.Guan Xizhi smiled dejectedly, Chen Zhongbo didn't believe him at all, and refused to give him even a chance to explain.A certain place in my heart was broken into pieces, and Guan Xizhi clenched his hands into fists.

why?Why are their feelings so fragile?It's so fragile that it can't even stand a little bit of wind and waves!

At noon that day, Guan Xizhi's mood was even worse.A lot of things were newly placed in the small room in the academy, including clothes and books, all of which were moved to Chen's residence a few days ago.Guan Xizhi shook his head, was he kicked out?

"Master's father, your flowers..." Chen Jin walked to Guan Xizhi's side with the flower pot in his arms. How could Master's father's favorite water drop of jade dew have been brought back?Nobody cares here.

Reluctantly taking the flowerpot, Guan Xizhi smiled bitterly.It seems that sweeping the floor and going out is really thorough.

After class that afternoon, Guan Xizhi didn't go back to the Chen Mansion, but took his son outside the academy and handed it to Uncle Xu who came to pick him up.Chen Jin dawdled, as if he was extremely unwilling to go back alone.

Guan Xizhi pinched his son's cheek lovingly, "Jin'er, the academy will have an exam in a few days, and the master and father have to prepare the test questions, so I can't go home with you these few days. You go back with Uncle Xu first. okay?"

Chen Jin nodded, the little guy was obedient and sensible.On the surface, he would pretend not to worry the adults, but secretly his sensitive thoughts turned one after another. He felt that something must have happened to the fathers to cause this. Did they quarrel?Please respect the labor achievements of others and do not spread them at will. If you like this book, please buy the original version.

"Uncle Xu, that child will trouble you!" Guan Xizhi said sincerely, as a father, he has missed his son's growing up for several years.But this time, he didn't know when he could return to the child again.What a pity!

At this moment, Guan Xizhi absolutely did not expect that Xu Bo turned back suddenly before lighting the lamp.

Pulling Chen Jin, Uncle Xu looked very serious, "Master Guan, the young master said to let the young master follow you."

Guan Xizhi looked down at Chen Jin, and the little guy also looked puzzled.Guan Xizhi frowned slightly. What was going on? Why did he send the child back suddenly without explaining it to the child?

"Jin'er, help your wife and father water the flowers first." Guan Xizhi didn't ask Uncle Xu to sit down until his son left. What's the matter?"

Uncle Xu lowered his head, not looking into Guan Xizhi's eyes, "The young master has been very busy recently, he really has no time to take care of the young master, please take care of this aspect."

"Uncle Xu..." Guan Xizhi's voice was a little higher, "Is there anything that is inconvenient for you to say?"

"Master Guan is too worried. You are the young master's father and the child's wife. This status is definitely more suitable than us to take care of the child."

Uncle Xu's tone was very tight, Guan Xizhi was helpless and didn't bother to ask any more...

As the sun was setting, Chen Zhongbo stood by the window, subconsciously tightening the brocade robe on his body.The dusky winter day seems to be very cold!

"Has Jin'er been delivered yet?"

"Send it. Master Guan made a clear promise. He will take good care of the child."

Chen Zhongbo was not surprised. Guan Xizhi was Chen Jin's biological father. Out of love and concern for the child, he would definitely be able to take on this responsibility, so he could rest assured.

"Master, in terms of manpower deployment, how do you think it should be done?"

"Send two teams over there first, don't let the kids find out!"

"Two teams?" Xu Bo couldn't help but frown slightly as he expected, "If that's the case, you'll only have one team left here."

"One team is enough." As a father, Chen Zhongbo always believes that his son is everything to him.The little guy is only six years old, he has no ability to protect himself, and Guan Xizhi is a scholar, if something happens, they will be in a hurry.

Chen Zhongbo had made up his mind, so Xu Bo had no choice but to follow orders.As soon as his feet stepped out of the threshold, Uncle Xu took a few steps back, "Master, your dinner..."

Chen Zhongbo was taken aback, and looked down at the bowl of plain rice porridge in his hand, feeling disgusted for no reason, "I won't eat it, let them take it away later."

"Master, you don't have to worry too much, young master, he, he will be fine..."

Reassurance doesn't seem to work.Chen Zhongbo forced a smile, "Uncle Xu, how did you find out?"

"There are some clues. But that person is extremely cunning. There are a total of seven accounts, and he has done every one of them very well, without any mistakes."

"Is there nothing wrong with it?"

Chen Zhongbo bit the corner of his mouth, no one can do things without leaving traces.He can't do it, and that person can't do it!

"Uncle Xu, there must be real evidence for this matter. I have to thank you for your hard work."

Xu Bo nodded, even if Chen Zhongbo hadn't ordered this matter, he would have investigated it to the end.No matter what, he must seek justice for Chen Zhongbo, otherwise, it would be unfair!

After Xu Bo left, Chen Zhongbo closed the wooden window and sat alone at the table for a long time.He was thinking about things, thinking very seriously, and every time he thought about it, he hated more.That's right, he hated that person, the person who ruined him once, and now made him pass away from happiness again, why is he like a ghost?

The person Chen Zhongbo mentioned was actually the second young master of the Chen family, Chen Zhongbo's half-brother.

Chen Zhongbo has been reluctant to mention that person's name.He disdains, he disdains that person, looks down on that person!

That man is the only son of Mrs. Chen's second wife.The second wife came from a bad family background, and her son was also humiliated and bullied.But... Chen Zhongbo remembered clearly that since he was a child, he had never looked down on that person because of these things. He really cared about this younger brother.Protection, love, he has done everything a big brother should do, and he has done it very well.

Chen Zhongbo couldn't figure it out, he didn't understand, why did his sincere treatment get such a result?Is it because of that incident?That "unjust" decision.

Nine years ago, Chen Zhongbo's father suddenly fell ill.Before dying, the old man handed over all the family business to the eldest son - Chen Zhongbo.This decision is reasonable and appropriate, and no one has reason to question it, and there is nothing to question it at all.

Chen Zhongbo is smart and capable, and he obviously lived up to everyone's expectations.It didn't take long for him to increase the business of Xiangyun brocade by a full [-]%. There was applause from all around, and Chen Zhongbo was unavoidably elated.Of course, growing up in a wealthy family, the people Chen Zhongbo met and came into contact with were all typical examples of talking about business and not getting ahead without profit.

It is essential to be on guard against others, and Chen Zhongbo understands it better than anyone else.However, do your own family members also need to guard against it?

Chen Zhongbo remembered that Uncle Xu had reminded him several times in those years, but he still couldn't listen.He felt that Xu Bo's words were alarmist and exaggerated. He trusted that person, and he entrusted the most important matter of raw material procurement to that person.Who knows how to work hard and work harder than relatives?Until that unfortunate incident...

After returning to Beijing, Chen Zhongbo vaguely understood something.He began to reflect on himself, he was annoyed at the random belief at the beginning, he could no longer be soft-hearted when facing his enemies, suppress what should be suppressed, and persecute what should be persecuted.But Chen Zhongbo did not commit suicide after all. After all, he was related to that person by blood, and Erniang was just a poor mother. How could he let the old man have no one to die and live alone for the rest of his life?

Chen Zhongbo did not expect that his moderation would cause trouble again.

Recently, Xiangyun Brocade has suffered a series of troubles, all of which are the work of that person.

Chen Zhongbo was determined to solve the business problems no matter how annoying they were, but he was obviously overwhelmed by the human problems.Especially his precious son, the safety of the little guy, Chen Zhongbo is completely unsure, he can't leave it to others to be responsible because he can't keep an eye on the child all day...

Now who can he trust?Thinking of his son, Chen Zhongbo unconsciously thinks of his son's other father.With a heavy sigh, since Guan Xizhi's appearance, he seems to have returned to his previous gentle and human nature in a vague way, and he hesitated to miss several opportunities to uproot the enemy.

Chen Zhongbo often asks himself, Guan Xizhi really has such a charm that can influence him and change him?

Once again, Chen Zhongbo was at a loss——

It's not because of love, but because of habit, he's used to Guan Xizhi and the warmth.

At night, Chen Jin hugged her brand new silk nightgown and gently climbed onto the bed, "Master, Daddy, is Uncle Xu really not coming to pick me up?"

"yes!"

"Then, what should we do?"

Chen Jin looked outside, why didn't Uncle Xu come to pick him up?Did he forget him?

Guan Xizhi smiled faintly, "Jin'er, I'm afraid you will be living with your wife and father for a while."

"Why?" Chen Jin frowned her delicate eyebrows, thinking carefully about her parents' decision.It's a little strange, first the wife's father moved out of the house, and then he, why didn't the father move in with him?

Guan Xizhi took off his son's long gown, and helped put on his nightgown, "Your father has some things to do, and he can pick you up when he's done."

"Where is the master's father, do you want to go back together?"

Guan Xizhi lowered his head and folded his clothes, but did not answer.

Chen Jin kept staring at Guan Xizhi, obviously not at ease.

Guan Xizhi shook his head and continued to explain: "Didn't you always hate getting up early? You can get up much later if you live in the academy."

Chen Jinbian pursed his lips, "Then you won't be able to see Daddy."

Comparing the two, Chen Jin obviously cared more about the latter.

Guan Xizhi spread the bedding, "Don't worry. You have to trust your father, he will take you home soon."

"So, does daddy need any help?"

"Hmm..." Guan Xizhi lowered his head and thought for a while, "If your father needs help, he will tell us."

"Daddy doesn't seem to know what to say."

A word to wake up the dreamer!

Guan Xizhi bit the corner of his mouth.What his son said was right, Chen Zhongbo never showed weakness in front of others.Even in Ziwu Mountain, when his injured legs and feet were inconvenient and difficult to walk, Chen Zhongbo never asked for help, not even once.

Chen Jin slept extremely restlessly, and so did Guan Xizhi.He was worried that the whole thing was too complicated.And Chen Zhongbo obviously put him out of the matter.Guan Xizhi refused to accept the arrangement.Now he's back, isn't he? !

He can no longer be determined by Chen Zhongbo.Let him go back to the Chen Mansion and he will go back, sweep him out, and he will leave obediently.It is true that he is a gentle wife, but a good temper does not mean that he is a soft persimmon who can be squeezed and stepped on whenever he wants!

If he wants to participate, he must have a role to play!

Guan Xizhi's official career is still young, and he spends most of his time studying abroad.But after all, he is the only one in Daxi who has ever drunk foreign ink, and with his good personality, he still has many friends.These people are all the type that he can inquire about.

"You and Chen Zhongbo, do you have poor communication? Why do you come to ask me about this kind of thing?"

The first person to inquire is Feng Ruo, the boss of Phoenix Tower.People's first answer is a rhetorical question.That's right, do you need to ask outsiders about the matters between husband and wife?

Feng Ruo has a straightforward personality and never beats around the bush when speaking, which is what Guan Xizhi admires the most.Moreover, Feng Ruo's father is Master Feng Xiangfeng whom Guan Xizhi admires the most, so the friendship between the two is extraordinary.

One by one, the ins and outs, Guan Xi told Feng Ruo one by one, now that he is looking for help, how can he avoid it.

"So this is ah!"

Feng Ruo sighed, Chen Zhongbo was majestic and full of pomp, and that kind of pomp often even made him feel ashamed.I really didn't expect such a powerful person to have such an embarrassing weakness, I feel a little sympathetic!

"You know a lot of people, so I just want to ask you, did Chen Zhongbo encounter any setbacks in his business? Is it because he is being chased and killed, and he is worried that he can't protect the child? !"

Feng Ruo was taken aback for a moment, and then waved her hands again and again, "Why are you being hunted down? Do you think you are watching a show?" With a smile all over her face, Feng Ruo slandered in her chest. is so complicated.

"Don't laugh at me! That's how I feel, I think things are weird."

"Strange?" Feng Ruo frowned slightly, "If you want to say weird, there is one thing that is really weird."

"What's the matter, you should hurry up and talk about it!" Guan Xizhi was obviously in a hurry, Feng Ruo cooks vigorously in the kitchen, but speaks slowly, as if squeezing paste, it takes a lot of trouble.

"This matter, listen to me slowly..." Feng Ruo picked up the tea bowl and said slowly: "You have lived in Chen's residence for so long, have you ever met a person, Chen Zhongbo's second brother ?”

"Second brother? I haven't seen it! Does Chen Zhongbo have a second brother?" Guan Xizhi wondered, let alone the second brother Feng Ruo mentioned, he had never even heard of it!

Feng Ruo sighed lightly: "It's understandable that you don't know, I haven't seen him for a long time."

"who is he?"

"His second brother is the only son of Chen Zhongbo's second wife, and the Chen family only have these two sons!"

Guan Xizhi nodded. The Chen family is weak, and he knows this best, but...

"What's so weird about this?"

"About six or seven years ago, I remember very clearly. During the Spring Festival, Chen Zhongbo went to the Phoenix Tower to have a New Year's banquet, but after that he didn't see anyone. People in the Chen family said that he went to the south to do business. ..."

"Can you talk about the main points!" Guan Xizhi was quite anxious. Feng Ruo talked for a long time, but still didn't say what he wanted to hear the most. He didn't have the patience to wait!

Feng Ruo didn't take it seriously, "The point, the point is that Chen Zhongbo is the big boss, so there is no need for him to do things like this kind of business trip and career! And once Chen Zhongbo leaves, Xiangyun brocade business will be entirely controlled by him. The second brother is in charge."

"You mean to say..."

"That's right, it's exactly what you think. The Chen family might have split up at that time!"

Guan Xizhi thought about it carefully, the Spring Festival six or seven years ago, wasn't it the time when Chen Zhongbo was injured...

"Chen Zhongbo's injury could be caused by his second brother?"

"It's hard to say, you have to ask the Chen family about this matter."

"I'm afraid the Chen family won't say it!" Guan Xizhi muttered to himself, who would spread family scandals, and he couldn't cover it up.

Feng Ruo nodded again and again, "That's right, even Chen Zhongbo himself didn't mention why he suddenly disappeared and came back suddenly!"

Guan Xizhi shook his head, Chen Zhongbo didn't say anything, but he had to ask, "Feng Ruo, you just said that Chen Zhongbo's second brother disappeared?"

"That's right! Ever since Chen Zhongbo came back, his second brother has disappeared."

"This..." Guan Xizhi hesitated for a while, "Could it be that his second brother is back now, threatening Chen Zhongbo."

"It's hard to say. You know, the more money you have, the more troublesome things you have. The Chen family has a big business, and Chen Zhongbo's life is very difficult!"

"Then, do I need to notify the arresting room first to protect his safety?"

"It shouldn't be necessary. The Chen family has plenty of guards, who are much more capable than the head catchers!"

If Feng Ruo didn't take it seriously, Guan Xizhi couldn't be negligent, and the general arrangement was already in his mind.

Among all things, Chen Zhongbo must be most concerned about the safety of his son Chen Jin.Guan Xizhi also cares about this point.Chen Jin lived in the academy, which should ensure the safety of the little guy.The staff of the academy is simple, except for the master who is a child who goes to school, not to mention the strict guards comparable to the palace, these are all favorable conditions.

Guan Xizhi treats people with sincerity and gentleness, he has always dealt with them with tolerance, even if he is wronged sometimes, he can still laugh it off.But until now, it was about his own baby, and a trace of cruelty in his heart was gradually induced.

Chen Jin is his only son and the treasure of his life. Thinking about it this way, the enemy's cunning and viciousness will be firmly rooted in his heart.Guan Xizhi didn't dare to relax a bit, the figure of his son was always in his sight, and he didn't dare to be sloppy at all.

In this way, Guan Xizhi stayed close to his son for a whole month.
