Rarely affectionate

Lang Bai's mother was a prostitute, and died very early.

A courtesan who is active in the upper class, is everywhere and is slick. To put it bluntly, she is a courtesan, but to put it bluntly, she is a high-end prostitute.

This woman was still young when she died, her face was beautiful and lifelike. Six-year-old Lang Bai sat next to his mother's body, with a small face looking around anxiously, which was very similar to his mother's lifeless face. Carved beauty's embryonic face.

Yuan Cheng squatted down and pinched Lang Bai's chin with two fingers: "This is my species? Why doesn't it look like me at all."

Wiping sweat from his hands, he nodded and smiled apologetically: "I don't know, there is a saying that a son is like his mother when he was young, and maybe when he grows up..."

Yuan Cheng smiled.He seldom smiled, and when he laughed, he had a particularly chilling taste. The six-year-old Lang Bai timidly took half a step back.

This child is really too young. Yuan Cheng thought of his eldest son, who is ten years old this year, but he is as tall as the two children stacked up, and his arms are even thicker than a circle.

"Did his mother raise him as a girl?"

The meaning of this statement is very clear dissatisfaction.Lang Bai shrank slightly sensitively, his eyes conflicted.

Yuan Cheng didn't care whether he resisted or not, he stood up, stared condescendingly at the child who was less than his thigh, and ordered lightly: "Take it back to Yuan's house."

His subordinates immediately stepped forward, trying to pick up Lang Bai and take him away.

Unexpectedly, Lang Bai suddenly struggled, struggling to move back, trying in vain to grab his mother's cold hand.That was actually impossible, he let out a short cry, his eyes full of despair.

Yuan Cheng stood at the door, with no impatience on his face, but his eyes were extremely cold, and he asked, "What else is there to delay?"

The subordinate was terrified, and he didn't care whether the child was crying or making trouble, he quickly grabbed him and left.

The people downstairs were waiting by the car, Yuan Cheng stepped into the car without looking back, the people below quickly took Lang Bai, whose face was full of tears, and stuffed it into the back seat of the car.

Lang Bai turned around abruptly, desperately clawed at the car window, stretched his neck and looked back.He watched his home go farther and farther behind him, his mother's breath gradually faded away, and finally there was no shadow.

He didn't dare to cry, he just stared at her with a sad expression.

Yuan Cheng glanced at him, thinking that this son is very interesting, "This child is young, but he is rare and affectionate."

The subordinates echoed: "Yes, yes, it is really rare."

Yuan Cheng laughed, and forcibly turned his son's face from the front of the car window, not allowing him to look back.

He said: "I just don't know who will be worthy of his deep affection in the future."

.

The timing for Lang Bai to come to Yuan's house was very wrong.

The old man of the Yuan family's illness has been dragging on and off for several years, and the situation has gotten worse recently, and he may not survive the new year.

The old man had left a message before that he wanted to leave the property to Yuan Cheng, the eldest grandson of the house, but Yuan Cheng also had two uncles and several cousins, and he could barely see each other with a smile a few years ago. I couldn't bear it anymore.

Yuan Cheng's character is a copy of the old man back then. When he is patient, he is like a Buddha. When he is ruthless, he becomes a demon instantly.The people in the family were wary of each other, each took aim at each other's faults, and were ready to seize the opportunity at any time and strike ruthlessly.

At this time, Yuan Cheng forbade any weakness around him.He sent his eldest son to Taiwan early on. The eldest son was born to his fiancée, who was a lady of the family. Although the fiancée failed to enter the Yuan family, but when the eldest son was born, it was announced to the whole Hong Kong. Everyone knew that it was the young master of the Yuan family. .

There was also a son who was two years older than Lang Bai, born to Yuan Cheng's mistress.Although she is a mistress, her son's status is relatively high, and that child is very precocious, so the old man likes it.Yuan Cheng asked his mistress to take the son with him very early on, and also fled to other places.

It can be said that around Yuan Cheng, there is not a single important person who can become a weak point.

But who knew, at the very moment of the struggle for power, another Langbai appeared.

It is absolutely too late to send Lang Bai out at this time, and he is so small, with a weak nature by nature, like a soft and warm animal, any hand can crush him to death.Yuan Cheng could only take him by his side to take care of him, and he didn't publicly admit that this was his species, and he didn't even give Yuan's surname.

Such a special current event is a special fact. Yuan Cheng is indifferent and ruthless. Several children were left to their respective mothers to raise them. Only Lang Bai, an illegitimate son who has no name and no distinction, is by his side, and he personally trains him. big.

In the first year Lang Bai came to Yuan's house, Yuan Cheng took him to meet the old man.The old man seemed to be dying, lying on the recliner, looked at Lang Bai drowsily, coughed and said: "What a handsome boy, he was born well, he is better than our serious son and brother Be more expensive."

Lang Bai stared at the old man timidly.

The old man sized him up for a while, then sighed, "It's a pity that men and women look good, so fate is not good."

When the old man said that, he obviously didn't like this great-grandson very much.But after all, Lang Bai lived with him under the same roof, greeted him in the morning and evening, met every day, and it was impossible to avoid seeing him no matter what.

Lang Bai has always given people an illusion since he was a child, as if he is actually a very nostalgic and affectionate person.Old Master Yuan was lifeless, and most people didn't like to stay by his side, but Lang Bai accompanied him very obediently.The old man asked him questions, and he answered each question. If he didn't ask, he would never open his mouth. He stayed with the old man like a cat.Even the old man himself was surprised, how could this child be so loyal and filial with such a delicate and cold face.

For a few days in the deep winter of that year, the old man was in a particularly dangerous situation, and he was about to leave.The doctor stayed by his side non-stop for days and nights, and Lang Bai also stayed by his side.He just sat on the side of the sickbed and didn't take off his clothes for three days in a row. When he was sleepy, he would sit and sleep, and when he woke up, he would eat a piece of bread.No one took care of him eating and living, and he sat silently like this, without saying a word, silently looking at the old man's sleepy face, there seemed to be something sad in his eyes.

Even the doctor was shocked when he saw it. It was a miracle that such a cruel and ruthless person as Yuan Cheng could give birth to such a beautiful and honest son.

The old man finally fell into a dying state.Yuan Cheng hurried home, the old man held his hand, and the first sentence he said was: "Your son is really affectionate to people, you have to treat him well!"

Yuan Cheng nodded and said, "Yes."

The old man looked around slowly, the family members were all waiting outside the door with their heads bowed, and it was dark.

Dirty tears flickered in the old man's eyes, "Ah Cheng, we, the century-old Yuan family, will leave it to you..."

The old man died here, and Yuan Cheng's two uncles joined forces to rebel and openly proposed to separate the family.

The Yuan family ruled the waterway rights in this sea area. They smuggled arms, operated casinos, transported arms and kept seabed minerals for the government.They have not separated their families from generation to generation. As long as your surname is Yuan, everything you do is for the whole family. You don't even have to think about splitting the family, which weakens the power of the family.

The situation immediately became acute.The people and horses of the two sides will see each other with a poor dagger.

At the most critical moment, Lang Bai was kidnapped by a group of people.He was kidnapped in his own yard. Those people were sent by Yuan Cheng's cousin, and they knew all about it, knowing that this child was Yuan Cheng's own son.

It was not only Lang Bai who was kidnapped, but also the mistress' second son. Originally, the Yuan family planned to take him out of Hong Kong, but he was kidnapped halfway.The child was two years older than Lang Bai, and he was crying all the time, his whole body trembling from crying, and he was already terrified of fear.

The kidnapper got impatient and cursed and stuffed a rag into his mouth, and kicked him hard: "What the hell is the funeral! Shut up for me!"

Lang Bai's hands and feet were tied, and he sat silently on the side, with his head down, without any sense of existence.The kidnapper took a look at him, thinking that the kid didn't need to stuff the rag, he was quiet and not annoying.

The second son was still whimpering, his whole body twitched, his face was pale, and he peed all over his pants.Lang Bai stared at him for a long time, and when the kidnappers didn't pay attention, he quickly leaned over and whispered: "Don't cry, you will be beaten if you cry, Yuan Cheng will come to rescue you."

He seldom calls people, Yuan Cheng also calls him by his first name, and rarely calls him father.

The child looked at Lang Bai in fear, and sobbed even harder in his throat.

Yuan Cheng is a very iron-blooded person.In his eyes, the lives of the two children are not as important as the entire family.In other words, it is not as important as the power of this family.The son can be born again, the family is gone, can there be another?

He could have rushed to save the child immediately, but he didn't.It wasn't until he got rid of those uncles and cousins ​​like chopping melons and vegetables that he came to negotiate with the bandits who kidnapped the two children.At this time, seeing that the situation was over, the gangster wanted to kill one child to protest Yuan Cheng, and then took another child as a hostage to escape.

No one in this world knows that the gangster wanted to kill Lang Bai in the first place.They knew that Lang Bai was brought up by Yuan Cheng himself, and that he was born well, with fine skin and tender flesh, at first glance he looked like a noble young man who would not eat the fireworks of the world.Killing the one Yuan Cheng likes will be more deterrent.

Lang Bai was born with an instinct as sensitive as a wild animal. He watched the villain approaching him with a gun in horror, and asked, "You guys, are you going to kill me?"

"Fucking little bastard, just accept your fate. Who told your goddamn father to love you? Let your father take the blame for this!"

Lang Bai's lips were trembling slightly.No one knows how this six or seven-year-old boy thought of saying such a thing. He pointed at the second young master who was so frightened that he wet his pants. Although his voice was trembling, his voice was so sharp that it was almost harsh: " Yuan Cheng is not my father, but his father!"

The gangster was stunned, and stopped in doubt.

"He is Yuan Cheng's son, and his mother is Yuan Cheng's wife. You guys are mistaken! I was picked up by Yuan Cheng!"

The gangster looked at him, then at the chubby, terrified Second Young Master, apparently a little shaken.

"He was not good to my mother either!" Lang Bai recalled that he had never seen his father before his mother died, "My mother never saw him!"

There were sporadic sounds of bullets outside, and time was running out.

The gangster's heart was overwhelmed, killing anyone is not killing, and besides, that fat boy was crying, making noise and heavy, and it was inconvenient to take him away, so let's just solve it on the spot!

Many years later, Yuan Cheng still clearly remembered the scene back then. There were gunfire fighting everywhere, blood was everywhere, and there was a disgusting fishy smell.When he finally arrived with his men, he saw his second son had been shot, lying on the ground with round eyes, Lang Bai seemed to have been shocked, his face was pale, his eyes were scattered and unfocused.

Yuan Cheng knew that one of his sons was dead.The moment he saw this scene, he actually had a dark and secret regret.

Why didn't the illegitimate son of the prostitute who suddenly appeared halfway die, but the second son he liked a lot?

Anyway, this illegitimate child has no sense of existence. He appeared and then disappeared, and no one will remember him at all.

Why was the situation reversed and the child who was supposed to stay left?

The thought passed quickly.On the one hand, the situation was urgent at the time, and there was no need to think about it; on the other hand, Yuan Cheng himself felt that this idea was a bit despicable and a bit too cruel.

He deliberately made himself forget this thought, then walked over and stretched out his hand, and said lightly, "Let's go."

Hearing his voice, he shivered violently, and the look he looked at Yuan Cheng at that moment was indescribable, Yuan Cheng even felt as if he had completely seen through his despicable and dark thoughts just now.

How is that possible, he told himself.Just a six or seven year old kid.

Lang Bai stretched out his hand tremblingly, and put it in his father's firm and generous palm.

"Yes, Dad." His voice was weak and trembling. "Thank you Dad."

.

On the day Yuan Cheng ascended to the throne, Lang Bai followed him, holding his father by his small hand, and walked with him into the meeting hall that symbolized the supreme power of the Yuan family.

Originally, all of Yuan Cheng's descendants were supposed to be by his side, this is the historical rule, but at that time his eldest son was still hiding in Taiwan, and his second son died, so only Lang Bai went up.

Lang Bai was young, and Yuan Cheng had long legs and big strides, so he could only stumble and barely keep up, and even trotted.

At that moment, Yuan Cheng felt a little strange.The son of a whore, a life no one expected to appear in this world, a bastard to put it bluntly.This little unknown child actually accompanied him through this severe and difficult winter, walked before the gate of hell, and came back intact.

And he was the only one who accompanied him, stepping up to the highest hall of power step by step.

Yuan Cheng couldn't help but look down at him.Lang Bai was staggering to keep up with his pace, probably sensing his father's gaze, he immediately raised his head and looked at Yuan Cheng purely and suspiciously.

He was born a bit too well, with big eyes, small nose, thin lips, and the contours of his facial features were as beautiful as if carved out of jade, without the slightest blemish.

Yuan Cheng remembered what the old man said before his death, that this child has deep affection for people, which is very rare, and he should be treated well.

Maybe it's all predestined, Yuan Cheng thought.That child died, but this one remained, and had been with him all winter through the sternest season of his life.
