Rarely affectionate

The youngest son of the Yuan family was ill, and the illness continued to get worse. The news was not only spread throughout the Yuan family, but even within the Arms Group.

Many people were baffled when they heard the news. Is Mr. Yuan's family sick?Isn't Yuan Xiao still sitting in the office?Then I asked again, oh, the young master who was just 15 years old and had a quiet and reclusive personality fell ill.

Although Lang Bai's identity was not obscure before this, the organization was too big after all, some people knew about him, and more people had never heard of him.It was through this mysterious and mysterious "serious illness" that many middle and low-level management got to know the young master of the Yuan family for the first time.

This is actually a good thing for Lang Bai.Yuan Cheng hid him too tightly in the past, and the management of the group with real power didn't even know about the existence of this young master. This is obviously extremely detrimental to Lang Bai's future development.Many middle and low-level managers who couldn't get involved with the crown prince Yuan Xiao suddenly found another object of loyalty to them until today, and their minds became active.

Of course, the illness that can cause such rumors is not mild. Even Yuan Xiao, who has never dared to provoke his father's inner courtyard, had to go back home to visit his seriously ill younger brother.

Before he left, he thought about it. Although Lang Bai was weak since he was a child, his father protected him like a baby. To put it weakly, he could be called the "Pearl in the Palm of the Palm". Where could he find a chance to get seriously ill?Could it be a small ailment caused by headaches and brain fever, but it was spread more and more by others?

Yuan Xiao thought so, but when he saw Lang Bai's face, he was shocked: "Ah Bai! How did you become so sick?"

Lang Bai was lying on the bed, his skin was already fair, but now it was almost translucent, with no blood at all.Yuan Zhen remembered that the last time he invited him to dinner, he looked like a child, with some flesh on his cheeks, which looked delicate and naive, but it was cut off in a blink of an eye, leaving only the bones.

Ziwen wiped away tears on the side: "Bai Shao went to see the apartment in Happy Valley that day, stayed there for one night, and caught fire when he came back. These days, he can't even eat, so he can only drink some water. He also burned this Look, I don't think it should be..."

"Could it be a nightmare?" Yuan Xiao asked in a horrified manner.

This is a bit taboo to say.The house of the young master's biological mother, do you want to accuse her of having a disturbed soul and haunting her son?

Lang Bai opened his eyes slightly, saw Yuan Xiao, smiled, and said, "Brother is here." He made a gesture to sit up.

How could Yuan Xiao dare to let him get up, if he caught fire and caught fire again, wouldn't his father skin himself alive?When the young master saw his elder brother sitting up at the sick bed, it was because he had a tutor and he was polite; but if the elder brother really accepted his courtesy, it would be too embarrassing to say it.

Knowing that his younger brother is fine and likes to put on airs, Yuan Hao immediately pushed him down like his tail was on fire, and comforted him repeatedly: "Don't worry, Ah Bai, you can take care of it for a few days. Big brother fell off his horse once when he was your age." , I almost didn’t fall stupid, and I lay down for two full months, isn’t it just as good now? You can just lie down, anyway, it doesn’t matter if you don’t go to school.”

"Oh, what a pity." Lang Bai leaned against the head of the bed weakly and sighed.

Seeing him like that, Yuan Zhen wondered whether he was saying it was a pity that he couldn't go to school, or that it was a pity that he fell off his horse but didn't fall stupid.Judging from his brother's consistent personality, it seems that the latter is more... ==

The two brothers actually didn't have much to say.There was no close relationship between the Yuan family brothers, Yuan Cheng's father was killed by his brothers, Yuan Cheng himself killed two cousins, and all the uncles were exiled.In the generation of Yuan Xiao and Lang Bai, when the younger brother is sick, the elder brother knows to go and see it, which is quite a feat.After almost finishing talking about taking care of your health and recuperating your illness, the servant came to buy the young master some medicine, and Yuan Xiao took the opportunity to get up and leave.

As a result, when they reached the gate of the courtyard, a young man hurried towards him, and when he saw Yuan Xiao, he hurriedly bowed: "Master!"

Yuan Hao looked familiar to him: "You are..."

Qi Xiaguo whispered to Yuan Xiao: "This is Mr. Yuan's son Zhou Zhengrong, Zhou Haohai, who was imprisoned for corruption a few years ago. He studied oil painting in Paris for a few days before, and Mr. Yuan released him to accompany Mr. Bai to look at the paintings. .”

Yuan Xiao let out a groan, and nodded, "Understood. Go ahead and serve the young master well."

That Zhou Haohai hurriedly nodded with an apologetic smile, and hurried away.

Yuan Hao sat in the car until he felt something was wrong.Lang Bai is sick like that, and he doesn't look like he's pretending, so why is he still in the mood to invite someone to accompany him to look at the paintings?

But this idea just passed by briefly, and then he was forgotten by him.After all, his younger brother is still young, and Zhou Haohai is not a high-ranking figure, so what big things can he do.

Yuan Xiao leaned on the back seat of the large leather car, squinted his eyes and fell asleep.In the past two days, Wang Jiadong sent him a sister-in-law who was like a lotus, so he inevitably lacked sleep.

When Zhou Haohai rushed to Lang Bai's sick bed, although Lang Bai had a fever, he only glanced at him and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry, you met my elder brother?"

Zhou Haohai hurriedly said yes.There was some cold sweat on his back, thinking to himself that this spoiled young master is not very old, how can he look at people with such sharp eyes?

Lang Bai took a sip of the medicine and asked, "Is there still rumor in the company that I am dying of illness?"

Zhou Haohai said yes again.

"It has been widely spread and everyone knows about it?"

Zhou Haohai was sweating profusely, so he could only keep nodding his head: "People are talking about it everywhere, but it's only the grassroots who are talking about it. The executives are all good people, so how can they speak out in an open and honest manner."

Lang Bai was silent for a while, and then he even smiled: "Good pass." He raised his head and drank the last sip of medicine.

The Yuan family has always had a tradition of drinking Chinese medicine, but Chinese medicine is bitter after all, and most of them are swallowed in one gulp, and then quickly eat a candy or something to slow down.Even for a person with a tough personality like Yuan Cheng, he had to prepare a sip of honey by the side when he occasionally drank medicinal soup.

Zhou Haohai's mouth became bitter when he saw it, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.Only this pampered young master drank the medicine calmly, as if he didn't care at all.

It was rumored that Lang Bai was dying of illness, but in fact, he was still a long way from death.

That night he had a fever, according to the doctor's words, it was eight characters, and he was very angry and depressed.The doctor knew that Lang Bai and Yuan Cheng were [-]% father and son, but when he saw Lang Bai injured like that, he almost passed out.Mr. Yuan, Mr. Yuan, you want to play with a little boy, who is not good to play with? How did you get it on your own son?Just because someone's mother is a prostitute, it doesn't mean that someone's son should be raped by you.

The old doctor gave first aid tremblingly, transported the young master to a private hospital in the middle of the night to hang the thread, and then hurriedly sealed the mouth, the person who had done this matter should send the reward that should be rewarded.Yuan Cheng accompanied him all the way to the end, when Lang Bai was hanging the thread in the operating room, he was waiting outside the door, sitting there motionless, as if frozen.

But at dawn, when the old doctor came to inform that the young master had fallen asleep under the effect of the anesthetic, Yuan Cheng nodded and stood up, turned around and left without even going to the ward to take a look.

The old doctor was a little confused.Does he really love this little son, or treat him like a plaything?If one regards one's own flesh and blood as a raised private pet, then this underworld godfather is a bit too cold-blooded.

Yuan Cheng asked Lang Bai to be moved back home, and he told the outside world that he had a cold and a fever.In fact, Langbai's fever is entirely due to inflammation and infection.When a person is in a gloomy mood, of course the body is weak, and it is not easy to reduce inflammation. When Lang Bai just returned home, he refused to say a word for three whole days. Do you think he is in a good mood?

Everyone said that Yuan Cheng really liked his illegitimate young son, no, the child was sick, Yuan Cheng put everything down, and went back to Yuan's mansion on time every night to see the child.Beloved, really beloved, even leading people to look at Yuan Xiao with a little sympathy.

But outsiders don't know that since Lang Bai came home from the hospital, he has never seen his father again.

Every day when Yuan Cheng returned to the mansion, he would first order the old housekeeper not to disturb anyone.The legitimate and only male owner of the house, walked quietly along the wall like a thief when he came home every day.

He asked people to secretly see if the young master was asleep. If he was asleep, he would go in quietly and stare at the young son on the side of the bed for a while; if he was still awake, he would sit outside Lang Bai's bedroom door, To deal with his never-ending work.

This was the shortest distance he allowed himself to stay while his youngest son was awake.

Through the door panel, Yuan Cheng could still comfort himself with the violent and sweet memories of that night, once they met, he would absolutely not be able to bear his youngest son's eyes full of contempt and hatred.

He was not afraid that Lang Bai would jump up and stab him with a knife, but he was afraid that he would do something he would regret later.

Half a month had passed like this, and one night Yuan Cheng came back late at night, he thought Lang Bai had already fallen asleep, but who knew that just as he walked to the door of the bedroom, he suddenly saw a glimmer of light coming from inside.Yuan Cheng was about to retreat when suddenly Lang Bai in the room seemed to hear something and asked, "Who is there?"

This was the first time Yuan Cheng heard Lang Bai's voice in so many days.

He stood there, motionless.After a while, Lang Bai suddenly asked in a low voice: "...Dad?"

Yuan Cheng let out a "hmm".

There were footsteps in the bedroom. It sounded like Lang Bai had come to the door, but he stopped suddenly and did not open the door.It took a while to hear him cough, and said slowly: "Father, I have one thing to ask you."

This father's cry was hesitant and indifferent, as if what separated them was not a door, but an iceberg.

Yuan Cheng took a breath, laughed and said, "When will Dad not agree to what you asked for, just tell me."

"...Then I'll just say it straight. Wang Yi helped me submit an application to his former university in New York, and he also said hello to his acquaintances in the Department of Politics. I want to go to the United States to study."

There was a long silence inside and outside the door, and even a needle could be heard falling on the ground.The night was already very deep, and the footsteps and conversations of night security patrols could be faintly heard outside the window, slowly approaching, then slowly moving away, and finally only the long sound of insects in the garden remained.

"dad?"

Yuan Cheng seemed to come back to his senses all of a sudden, and gave a faint "hmm": "You can go if you want."

Lang Bai didn't expect his father to agree so easily, he was taken aback for a moment before saying, "Thank you, Dad."

"You don't need to thank me. It seems that you have listened to what Dad said to you that day." Yuan Cheng laughed without knowing the emotion, "Dad is very happy."

What did you say that day?This statement must sound inexplicable to others, but Lang Bai froze suddenly, almost speechless.

That day in Happy Valley, at the stairs of the apartment, Yuan Cheng told him to remember his father as "a dangerous villain" and told him to stay away from his father in the future.The memory of that night, Lang Bai, wanted to dig out the whole thing from his mind, but he had to break apart the words his father said, word by word, and crumbled all the meanings in his mind. Only through it.

He seemed to be forced to mature a lot overnight. He used to think he was a little clever, but that was the wisdom of a child.He felt that he had no psychological weakness, and the only thing he could rely on was his biological father—after all, it was only natural for children to rely on their parents.

Unexpectedly, after that night, he realized that Yuan Cheng didn't think it was a matter of course.
