After the meal, Cheng Jiandong brought Jiao Zilie to the tea set, "It's time for you to leave Chong'er." Cheng Jiandong straight to the point, washing the tea in his hands didn't stop.

God Zilie was not surprised by this sentence, "Do you think I will compromise this time?"

"You will."

"Cheng Dong seems to be very confident, and I would like to hear more about it."

"Your parents have made an agreement with me."

"Cheng Dong is joking, right? My parents can't make any decisions on my behalf."

"If you don't agree to them, you will go to jail?" Cheng Jiandong handed the brewed tea to God Zilie, and gave him a sharp look.

The hand that God Zilie stretched out to take the tea stopped in mid-air, "What do you mean?"

"You are such an excellent child, I never thought that your parents would be like that." Cheng Jiandong made no secret of his disdain.

Although God Zilie is also dissatisfied with his parents, he can't listen to others criticizing them in front of him.

Cheng Jiandong continued: "Have you heard about their stock trading?"

"I heard." God Zilie's heart sank to the bottom.

"From the very beginning, I was the one who asked someone to guide them to trade in stocks. Who would have thought that they would drag your relatives from the countryside to trade with them. Although your relatives don't have much money, they took out all their belongings. At the beginning, I always Let them make money, satisfy their vanity, and at the same time let them lower their guard. They are like gods to the person who led them to trade in stocks. They believe what they say. They have made millions. I think who it is You can't resist the temptation."

"Then they should be bankrupt now, right?" The godson was burning with anxiety, but on the surface he was unusually calm.

"More than that, do you think I'll just make them lose money? That's so boring. I know Zhao's intention to manipulate the stock, and my informant told me all their plans, and every purchase and sale is They operated together within the company. Now they have made enough money, sold all the stocks and fled abroad, and the company collapsed. Not only did your parents and relatives go bankrupt, but they were also charged with manipulating stocks.”

The more God Zilie listened, the more his body trembled, his hands clenched so hard that his bones seemed to be crushed. "I will find the best lawyers to defend them, they are innocent."

"Young man, you are still too young. How could I fight a battle I am not sure of? Either I will not make a move, or I will hit it!"

"What did you do to them?" God Zilie almost rushed over to beat him up, resisted sitting on the chair without moving, just patted the tea table hard, and a lot of tea spilled out.

"I asked them to come over the day they broke. I told them that if they would sign a document, I would pay off all their debts and get their principal back. What do you think they're going to do? ?”

Godson closed his eyes, his parents couldn't understand better. "Can I see that document?"

Cheng Jiandong got up and took a folder to God Zilie, who read every word carefully.It explained every record of stock manipulation in detail. Now that Zhao's people have run away, if this document is handed over, it is impossible for the parents not to go to jail.Seeing his parents' signatures at the end, Godson finally shed tears.

"I promise you, I will leave Cheng Chong."

"Very well, teaching a lawyer is really a filial son. But I have one condition."

"What conditions?"

"This weekend is Chong'er's birthday, and I want you to break up with him on his birthday."

"Why?!" Jiao Zilie cried out, "He is your own son, how can you be so cruel?!"

"Then his impression will be deeper, and his hatred for you will be stronger." Cheng Jiandong had a confident smile on his face, making him do evil.

"Okay!" Godfather felt that there was no need to stay any longer, so he got up and walked towards the gate.Saying goodbye without any politeness, because the man behind him has a human face and a beast heart, and he is not worthy of his respect.

When Jiao Zilie was about to leave, Cheng Jiandong said, "I don't want Chong'er to know the truth of the matter."

The godson paused for a moment, then slammed the door behind him.

God Zilie walked home, and it was already late when he got home, and his legs were already numb.Fortunately, Cheng Chong had already fallen asleep, at least he didn't have to spend any more effort to pretend to be himself.He hated his parents, hating himself was useless, but there was only one way waiting for him right now.

……

In the few days before Cheng Chong's birthday, his teacher Lie left early and returned late, and Cheng Chong had hardly seen him.But he didn't think much about it, he just thought that the godson was too busy.

His birthday was on Friday, so Jiao Zilie went out to the law firm early in the morning to take a leave of absence. After Cheng Chong left, he went back to the apartment alone and packed all his things back to the apartment opposite.

He kept everything about Cheng Chong, except for the first photo they took together on the top of the mountain during their first Valentine's Day.

After everything was tidied up, Jiao Zilie went out to fetch the ordered cake, and used his housekeeping skills to prepare a table of dishes. Of course, he would not forget Cheng Chong's favorite sweet and sour pork ribs.

As soon as Cheng Chong entered the door, the aroma of vegetables blowing towards his face made his gluttons want to move.Seeing his godson Lie sitting at the dining table waiting for him, he just wants to love him for the rest of his life.

"You came back so early today, and you made so many delicious things."

"Well, happy birthday."

"Thank you Baby."

Cheng Chong didn't quite understand why the atmosphere between the two was a bit awkward, but he didn't think much about it, he just ate quietly, and looked up at God Zilie from time to time, who just buried his head and ate wholeheartedly.

After dinner, Jiao Zilie insisted on cleaning up by himself, so Cheng Chong had to go to the living room to watch TV.

When God Zilie appeared in front of Cheng Chong again, the expression on his face was confusing.He handed Cheng Chong the key to the apartment.

"What do you mean?" Cheng Chong felt more and more confused, what happened to the godson today?

"We are all happy people, and I won't beat around the bush anymore. I feel boring, tired, and want to break up."

"What?!" Cheng Chong jumped up from the sofa, and excitedly grabbed God Zilie, "Why? Why?!"

Jiao Zilie felt Cheng Chong's hands trembling, which made his heart ache. "I think it's nonsense to be with a man all my life. I can't live like this for the rest of my life."

"Haven't we always been fine?"

"Didn't you realize that I've been avoiding you in the past few days? I really don't know what kind of evil I was caught in the first place, but I would agree to be with you. Fortunately, I have come to my senses now, and it's not too late." He broke away from Cheng Chong's hand in disgust.

"Are you angry because I don't want to go to the United States with you now?" Cheng Chong grabbed God Zilie again, "I'm sorry, baby. I am willing to immigrate right away, no career is important."

Jiao Zilie got rid of Cheng Chong's hand impatiently, "I said I don't want to be with men, don't you understand?"

"Then why do you still cook for me for my birthday? You still love me, don't you?" At the end, Cheng Chong was already crying.

"You gave me a house and a sports car, and I didn't intend to return them to you, so I just take a meal as a thank you." Godson spoke very calmly, without any ups and downs.

Cheng Chong sat down on the sofa, holding his head in pain, "It can't be like this! How is it possible? How is it possible!"

"I've already moved everything away. I hope you can act like a man and don't come to me again. Don't let me look down on you. Except for work-related matters, I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore."

After finishing speaking, the godson walked towards the door without looking back, Cheng Chong asked when the godson opened the door: "At least you loved me, didn't you?"

God Zilie gripped the doorknob with his hand, and it hurt so much, "I think of you now, and all this with a man, and I feel disgusting." After speaking, he left quickly and locked everything in the behind the door.

He couldn't say that he never loved Cheng Chong, and he didn't dare to say that he loved Cheng Chong to give him hope, he could only say something that made him give up.He didn't know how hurtful those words were, he only knew that he was covered in bruises.

Nate was frightened by the tearful godson, and hurried over and asked, "What's wrong with you? What happened?"

"I broke up with Cheng Chong, and we will never be together. Don't ask me why, and don't mention anything about me to him in the future."

"Understood." Nate hugged his godson, hoping to give him some comfort.

Cheng Chong really didn't look for Godson Lie again, and Godson Lie deliberately didn't pay attention to any information about him.All of Cheng's work is to communicate with Gu Wan'er, every time they meet, she looks like she has something to say, but every time she is held back by God Zilie's cold attitude.

This day Gu Wan'er brought some documents to find her godfather.

"Teaching as a lawyer, the future work will be handed over to other colleagues. This is the last time I come here."

"Ok."

I thought that the godson would at least ask why, but Gu Wan'er didn't even raise his head, so Gu Wan'er could only talk on his own.

"Next week, I will go south with Mr. Cheng to develop new business there." Gu Wan'er paused, seeing that Jiao Zilie still lowered her head, "I might not come back from this trip for a few years."

The godson finally raised his head and said calmly, "I don't think Ms. Gu needs to report to me about her work."

Gu Wan'er was speechless, "Then I'll go back first."

Before leaving, he looked back at God Zilie, who just looked down at the documents and left with a sigh.

Jiao Zilie flipped through the documents aimlessly, without reading a single word, repeating "going south" and "won't come back for a few years" in his mind.Although we couldn't be together, I thought that as long as I passed by occasionally in a city, at least some of the pain of lovesickness could be relieved. Who would think that others would be more decisive, so I just didn't plan to have any more contact.

God Zilie leaned on the back of the chair exhaustedly. He wanted to cry out loudly, but he could only shed tears silently.You already know that there will be no more ties, don't you?It may be a better choice to not be contacted.

……

Four years later.

"Mr. Cheng, the master has already sent out the invitations for the engagement banquet. Miss Tian has also returned to Beijing. When are we going to leave?"

"Next week, I have to explain everything that needs to be explained before I can go back with confidence."

"Are you sure you have returned to Beijing to develop?"

"Yeah, we have already monopolized all the shipping here, and it won't be difficult to leave the rest to them. It's time to take over the northern ports."

"I've been away from Beijing for so long, and I'm not used to going back all of a sudden."

"You have worked hard these past few years for accompanying me to develop business in such a far place."

"What did you say? President Cheng has always taken good care of Wan'er. I've been by your side for the rest of my life. You can't drive me away even if you want to."

"Are you implying that I should get a raise?"

"It's almost time for a salary increase, haha." Gu Wan'er smiled heartily.

"No problem, I'll add it to you as soon as I get back."

"You haven't been back for so long, do you feel excited?"

"It's okay, as you said, I'm not used to going back suddenly after a few years here."

"My master must be very happy. I have been nagging you to go back all these years, and you finally agreed."

"Falling leaves always return to their roots. After wandering outside for a few years, they still feel homesick."

"By the way, the dress for your engagement banquet has been prepared. Would you like to try it on in the store or take it home?"

"Go to the store. If it doesn't fit, you can modify it on the spot. Is Tiantian's costume ready?"

"Yes, Miss Tian has already tried it, and it fits very well."

"Does she like the outfit I chose for her?"

"Of course, she will like whatever you choose."

"You mean my vision is not good?" Cheng Chong feigned anger.

"No, haha. Ms. Tian sent me a photo, it's very beautiful."

"Hehe, that's good. I'm looking forward to seeing her in that gown. I hope she can feel like a princess."

"You will be satisfied."
