Rarely affectionate

After all, it was the home he had lived in for more than nine years, and Lang Bai slept in the small bedroom until the next morning.Yuan Cheng visited several times before leaving the house in the morning, but he just sat on the edge of the bed and watched for a while before leaving without anyone calling him.

When I woke up, it was almost time for lunch. Lang Bai usually had no appetite at this time, so he lazily washed his face, changed into a large T-shirt and cotton trousers, and sat barefoot. On the bamboo and rattan recliner next to the bed, he concentrated on reading the copybook.

Ziwen has taken care of this young master for several years, and knows a little about his daily habits, knowing that his mind is not on the copybook now, but seems to be thinking about things in silence.Lang Bai doesn't know why he developed the habit. When he thinks about a problem, he always holds something in his hand, pretending to be concentrating on playing with it. At first glance, people really can't tell that he is thinking about other things. .

Sure enough, within a few minutes, Lang Bai put down the copybook, stared at the air for a while, and suddenly asked Zi Wen: "The people around my father, if you want to talk about left and right hands, Zhou Zhengrong is a veteran, right?"

Ziwen nodded: "Yes, but the son of the Zhou family cheated a lot of money a few years ago, and even Zhou Zhengrong was demoted."

"I know that. But Zhou Zhengrong has been in power for more than ten years, right?"

"About fifteen or sixteen years ago, his son didn't succeed, but he himself is quite honest, and he usually doesn't talk much."

Lang Bai nodded: "I heard he has a daughter?"

It was the first time for the young master to inquire about women, Ziwen was surprised, he was taken aback for a moment before he said: "There is... one, it is said that Zhou Zhengrong has a good relationship with his wife, and the daughter has the mother's surname."

Lang Bai gave a soft "Oh—" and stood up suddenly: "I'm going out for a while, I won't be back for lunch."

When Zhou Zhengrong received the notice that Bai Shao wanted to "see him once", he was indeed very surprised.

He has been working in Yuancheng for more than ten years, and he knows the secrets of the Yuan family very clearly. Of course, he knows Lang Bai's status in the Yuan family.But before Lang Bai lived in the inner courtyard of Yuan's family, even if he was Yuan Cheng's confidant, he was rarely seen. Later, he was demoted because of his son's affairs, and it was even rarer to see this little young master who didn't show up much.

Why did the young master suddenly want to find him?What are you looking for?

If Yuan Cheng had any orders, he would naturally call himself; even if he didn't do it himself, he would still send his eldest son Yuan Xiao away.No matter what kind of thing it is, it's not the turn of this spoiled young master to come forward.

Zhou Zhengrong was full of doubts, and was kept in the car by Song Qiangti, the number one bodyguard next to Young Master Bai, and sent to the door of a big hotel.After entering the hotel gate, Song Qiang took him to the door of a box with familiarity, knocked on the door and said, "Young Master Bai, someone brought it here."

Zhou Zhengrong felt a little terrified.

If Yuan Cheng told someone to "bring so-and-so" like this, then most likely it would be so-and-so's life.

"Mr. Zhou is here?" Lang Bai was unexpectedly polite, "Sit down quickly, don't stand there."

Seeing his attitude, Zhou Zhengrong didn't seem to want his own life, so he sat down hesitantly, confused.

Lang Bai took out a box of Chunghwa cigarettes and asked, "How about one?"

How can you refuse this kind of question unless your brain is pumped.Zhou Zhengrong hurriedly got up to thank him, he smoked one, Lang Bai himself also lit one, but he didn't smoke much, he just held it in his hand to watch it burn.

Zhou Zhengrong is now sure that his life is safe, but he feels even more confused.Call yourself from a long distance, and when you enter the door, there will be a table of good wine and good food, and you will be given a cigarette and asked if you smoke. Is this a kind of compensation for subordinates?It's not the turn of Bai Shao to show up to the subordinates!You say a thousand things and ten thousand things, why did you ask yourself to come here?

Lang Bai sat quietly for a long time, seeing that Zhou Zhengrong, a big living man, was becoming more and more unable to sit still, so he coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Zhou is restless."

Of course I'm upset!If you were brought here from a long distance, and then sat in silence for a long time, would you be able to calm down?Didn't it mean that the young master of the Yuan family was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child? !

"No, no," Zhou Zhengrong replied quickly, and took advantage of the situation to take a careful look at Lang Bai, "I just don't know if Young Master Bai called me here today...?"

Lang Bai smiled, "Oh, this." He paused, and said slowly: "I woke up early this morning and remembered about my mother, so I asked you, an old man, to meet and talk about lovesickness."

Zhou Zhengrong suddenly stood up with a loud sound of bowls and chopsticks being overturned, but he couldn't say a word for a while.

"Mr. Zhou, sit down." Lang Bai said, "I'm not a father, and I don't copy your family's principles when I get angry. Besides, what happened back then is none of your business. You are just an errand servant. If you are alone It's too tasteless to vent your anger, isn't it?"

Zhou Zhengrong shook his hands, sat down slowly, and asked cautiously after a long time: "I don't know, young master...what do you want to ask?"

Lang Bai stared at him for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he heard him ask slowly: "When my mother was dying, you followed my father to take me back to Yuan's house. Yeah?"

Zhou Zhengrong nodded: "Yes."

"I'm just a little strange. I've lived in my original home for six years. How come my father didn't come and came just when my mother was about to die?" Lang Bai paused, seeing Zhou Zhengrong opened his mouth to speak, suddenly He said sharply again: "Don't use words that the Yuan family didn't know before to perfuse me! Let me tell you, as long as you can't understand a word, you don't have to go back to see your wife and children!"

Zhou Zhengrong froze for a moment: "I... how dare I be perfunctory young master. You know the situation back then, young master, just when the old man was about to fail, the Yuan family had even prepared the funeral. One...one piece of news about you. This is what your mother asked someone to tell Mr. Yuan. It was almost Chinese New Year when the story was revealed. Mr. Yuan originally planned to wait until after the new year to discuss matters about you, otherwise it would be the New Year's Eve There was an extra child all of a sudden, and everyone looked a little... a little ugly. Who knew that your mother was going to die suddenly at this time, and Mr. Yuan hurried to get there on that day..."

Yuan Cheng did arrive on the day Lang Bai's biological mother died, or in other words, he appeared at the moment Lang Bai watched his mother close her eyes.

One minute is not early and one minute is not late, everything is no coincidence.

"Did my mother really die of illness?" Lang Bai stared at Zhou Zhengrong with a serious expression, "How could it be a coincidence that she died on that day?"

"Young Master Bai! What I said was absolutely true and not a single word of lie! Lingtang did indeed die of illness, but Mr. Yuan deliberately, just in time for that time! Think about it, Mr. Yuan can't do anything wrong, Lingtang At that time, it was already dying, so what does it matter if it happens sooner or later?"

"What did you say?" Lang Bai suddenly realized something was wrong, "What do you mean 'just in time'?"

Zhou Zhengrong hesitated for a few seconds, then closed his eyes and sighed, and said, "Boss Yuan ordered you to be different from the crown prince. You were not brought in right away when you were born. Taking her away from your biological mother will definitely make you feel grudges. Besides, the situation in Lingtang was already very critical at that time, so why not just let you watch your mother die in front of you..."

Before he finished speaking, Lang Bai's face became paler and paler.

Zhou Zhengrong was worried that he would suddenly get into trouble, but Lang Bai remained silent for a while, signaling him not to be afraid: "I'm fine, you continue to talk. So my mother really died of illness?"

Zhou Zhengrong quickly said yes, thinking that what the young master was thinking about was the real cause of his mother's death.

He suspected that his mother's death was unknown, and even suspected that it was Yuan Cheng's subordinates.

In fact, his doubts were not groundless. After all these years, everyone had seen Yuan Cheng's methods. It was the usual method of the Yuan family under such circumstances to remove the mother and keep the son.But why did he not doubt it after so many years, and suddenly remembered to doubt it today?

Did Yuan Cheng say something in front of him, or did something happen inside the Yuan family?

Zhou Zhengrong was thinking wildly, and suddenly he only heard Lang Bai ask: "Did you take a DNA test when I walked in?"

Zhou Zhengrong was stunned: "Yes!"

"..." Lang Bai looked at him hesitantly, and asked again: "I am indeed... I mean, the test result..."

What is it?If the result of the test is not, is there still a young master in the Yuan family?Zhou Zhengrong really couldn't figure out why Lang Bai asked such a question, but he immediately confirmed with a more serious tone: "You are absolutely Mr. Yuan's own son!"

"Yes... Is it possible..." Lang Bai paused for a while, as if he thought it was very ridiculous, so he coughed in disguise: "Forget it. I have another thing to ask you."

"Excuse me!" I heard that the more pampered a child is, the more ruthless he is. Zhou Zhengrong feels that he will not be able to get out of this door today...

Sure enough, Lang Bai stared at him, and asked another question that made him want to jump out of the window and escape, "——When I first entered Yuan's house, I was kidnapped together with my second brother, and he was killed. Later I I vaguely heard rumors that my father deliberately delayed the time to save people, and he said something at the funeral of the second brother, is that true?"

This question was so venomous that Zhou Zhengrong was in a state of sweat.

If there is anything that cannot be said clearly between the Yuan family and his son, then the kidnapping that year is definitely a taboo among taboos!

(2)

Zhou Zhengrong hesitated again and again, unable to speak several times.That terrible young master was sitting opposite him, staring closely at his face, his expression seemed to be smiling, but it made people just want to tremble.

"The kidnapping back then... Boss Yuan really didn't think of it... It was too late when we found out... It was really too late..."

"Zhou Zhengrong," Lang Bai called his name word by word, "Your son relied on your name to embezzle and accept bribes years ago, but he has not been released yet. You have a daughter with your wife's surname. Returning home after studying, isn't that the case?"

Zhou Zhengrong shuddered: "...Yes, yes."

"I can get your son out of that place of suffering, and I can get you back to your original position, do you know that?"

Zhou Zhengrong said in a low voice, "This... I also know."

"You don't have to worry," Lang Bai changed his tone, "There are only two of us in this room, and only my people are guarding the door. Who will know what you said? Besides, even if I know something, I will definitely I won’t gossip around. If my father finds out, do you think you or I will be the first to die?”

Zhou Zhengrong smiled wryly: "You're right, it's just that you asked us so suddenly...Last year, Mr. Yuan specially called us here and told us not to spread anything about what happened back then. I guess I've heard some rumors. Actually, I think You can also understand that one side is the Yuan family and the other is the son. If the son is gone, he can be reborn. Can the Yuan family have a second share of the foundation that has lasted for hundreds of years? If it were you, how would you choose? Besides, at that time People and horses are not rich, if there are more people, some of them will be allocated to save you and the second young master, that is not impossible..."

Lang Bai stayed there for a while, then suddenly said: "I understand."

"That's the truth, as long as you can understand."

"What about my second brother's funeral? I clearly heard that my father said something to my second brother's biological mother at the funeral, isn't that right?"

"Mr. Yuan..." Zhou Zhengrong hesitated for a moment before he sighed: "I was too sad at that time. The second young master's biological mother was only this son, and she almost fainted from crying at that time. Mr. Yuan sighed for a while, then Tell her that it was the youngest son who was supposed to die, but who knew it was the smartest second son who was killed, what an act of God..."

Before the words fell to the ground, I saw Lang Bai tightly grasping the armrest of the chair with one hand, his whole expression changed, he gritted his teeth for a long time, and then slowly repeated: "God's will tricks people..."

—God’s tricks!

The son he liked died, but the illegitimate son born outside did not die, and the father just lamented God's tricks!

Saying these four words at the funeral is simply heartbreaking!

Zhou Zhengrong didn't even dare to lift his head, only to hear Lang Bai suddenly yell: "Not only that! There are more!"

"Young master! Don't ask me any more!" Zhou Zhengrong didn't dare to say, "It's all old things, so many years have passed!..."

"Say!"

"Little Master..."

"You don't want to walk out of this door today, do you?" Lang Bai slapped his chopsticks, "Say!"

Zhou Zhengrong was almost poked by the flying chopsticks, and quickly staggered back one step, so frightened that he couldn't even finish his sentence: "Yuan, Mr. Yuan also said, if, if the second young master's biological mother is still sad, why, just Let the young master recognize her as his mother, just come and go, one stroke, one stroke..."

If Lang Bai's complexion was just ugly just now, it is simply terrifying now.At least Zhou Zhengrong has worked in the Yuan family for so many years, this is the first time seeing the young master's expression so frightening, even shuddering.

Zhou Zhengrong thought that he might never forget the expression of this famous and handsome young master of the Yuan family at this moment, it was like a nightmare.

"One to one, one to write off..." Lang Bai said word by word, as if he wanted to chew up every syllable and swallow it, as if he wanted to engrave it in his mind, "It can be written off... My own background, my own mother, can... be written off..."

The Yuan family has had an unwritten habit for several generations. The daughter's position follows the father's, and the son's position follows the mother's.The mother’s natal family is good and her background is good, and her son’s status is also high; Yuan Cheng’s father married a lady from a noble family, so the status of Yuan Cheng’s eldest son is stable; Yuan Xiao’s mother is the only daughter of the Wang family, and his His status is higher than that of Lang Bai.

By analogy, if Lang Bai recognized the second young master's biological mother as his mother, it would be tantamount to slapping him severely on the point of Lang Bai's background.This is not considered an insult, it is tantamount to obliterating Lang Bai's identity and making him a substitute for the second young master.

No wonder Yuan Cheng urged Lang Bai in every possible way last year not to let Lang Bai know about the past.If you want to punish your heart like this, it's okay if you don't know, but once you know, it will be a poisoned knife between father and son!
