North to Hanchuan

The KFC near the train station was full of people.

Fang Ting took off Gu Yuze's bulging down jacket, and the child shrank by half in an instant, making his cheeks look like two peeled peaches.

Fang Ting put on a small bib for the child, and pinched the tender face:

"In the next few days, you have to listen to what grandpa, dad and little uncle say. Mom will pick you up again after school starts. By then, Ozawa will be one year older. Mom hopes to see Ozawa grow taller and get to know more More words, okay?"

The child raised his head, raised his small arms to the sky, as if he was trying to touch someone's height, and his thin voice was full of vitality: "I want to be as tall as my little uncle!"

Fang Ting kissed her precious son approvingly: "Ambition!"

Just when Gu Hengbei sat down with a tray, Fang Ting asked casually, "How tall are you, Xiao Si?"

"187, what's wrong?"

"Are you only 187?" Fang Ting looked him up and down, "I always thought you were over 190!"

Gu Hengbei inserted the straw into the hot milk cup and handed it to his nephew, and said "Be careful of scalding" before he glanced at Fang Ting: "There is almost no difference between men 187 and 190."

"How can there be no difference?" Fang Ting blinked her eyes, and smiled narrowly but meaningfully, "A man is one inch taller and one inch stronger."

What does Gu Hengbei do, why would he be afraid of racing with others, but his pure and innocent little nephew is sitting opposite, holding a milk cup in his little chubby hand, sipping and sipping, a pair of big eyes like black grape seeds flickering Looking at two evil adults, he could only admit defeat and bow his hands:

"When it comes to moral degeneration, human nature, distortion and integrity, you are the best, sister-in-law, and I am willing to bow down."

"Ex-sister-in-law." Fang Ting corrected with a smile.

Fang Ting and Gu Jinnan were married seven years ago. They divorced not long after Gu Yuze was born. The child is four and a half years old and lives with his mother in Nanjiang.

There are not many women that Gu Hengbei admires, and Fang Ting is one of them.

Regardless of character, Gu Jinnan's height and appearance are one in a million. Fang Ting had just returned from studying abroad at that time, and she was also at a young age. The two were very satisfied with each other as soon as they got on a blind date.

It's just that the two of them were not in the same way, and occasionally crossed paths, and eventually parted ways.

After getting married, Gu Jinnan walked among thousands of flowers as usual, with colorful flags waving outside.

Not long after Gu Yuze was born, Fang Ting filed for divorce. The Gu family hadn't responded yet, but the Fang family exploded first.

The Gu family was in full bloom in those few years, and the three Gu Hangyuan brothers had all reached a higher level. It was the dream of many people in Kyoto to be married to the Gu family. The Fang family did not allow Fang Ting to divorce at will.

Of course, the Gu family also disagreed with the divorce, because Fang Ting wanted custody of the child.

Fang Ting was besieged on all sides at that time, and only Gu Hengbei supported her.

After the divorce, Fang Ting felt sorry for her natal family and took her child to Nanjiang. She had a stable job and hired an aunt. The two women took good care of the child.

Fang Ting works in Ennan Group, a well-known company in Nanjiang. She is a secretary in the chairman's office of Ennan Group. The company issued a transfer order a few days ago, appointing the chief secretary Huo Shuyan to serve as the interim president of Ennan R Country Branch. In a crisis, Fang Ting was appointed by the Chief Secretary to accompany him.

This is a rare opportunity. The time is short and the rewards are great. After returning, she will definitely be promoted. Fang Ting does not want to miss this opportunity. Anyway, the kindergarten will have winter vacation soon, so she sent the child to Kyoto in advance.

Gu Yuze comes to Kyoto every winter and summer vacation, and when the child starts school, Fang Ting's public school will almost be over.

Every time the child goes back and forth to Kyoto, Fang Ting picks her up in person, and Gu Hengbei usually picks up people.

Gu Hengbei picked up the children and then sent them to Gu Jinnan. When he was not working, he would spend time with the children. Gu Yuze had the best relationship with him.

The luggage brought by the child is very simple, only a small schoolbag, Fang Ting handed the schoolbag to Gu Hengbei: "His father has his usual things and clothes, here are all his homework..."

Gu Hengbei weighed the heavy schoolbag that was almost as heavy as the child, a little surprised: "There are so many homework in kindergarten now?"

"What can kindergarten teach?" Fang Ting looked disgusted, "You don't have children, you really don't know anything." If he has time, he will continue to teach him, and if he has no time, let him write out all these homework, and tell his father that he can't just take him to play. Compared with other children, he started a little later. It's time for the function, and the child's mother is chattering in the WeChat group all day long..."

Gu Hengbei asked: "What did Ozawa learn?"

"It's just a quadratic equation."

"That's a bit outrageous," Gu Hengbei frowned, how could their Gu family's cub lose at the starting line, "I can already do calculus at his age."

Fang Ting: "..."

When all the mothers in this world say that their children are not as good as others, they are actually waiting for the next sentence, "Your son is only four and a half years old and can understand quadratic equations in one yuan? That's amazing! You have too high demands on your children. If it were my child, I would wake up laughing from my dreams!"

Gu Hengbei's not playing cards according to routine made Ozawa's mother a little unhappy.

"You think everyone is like you, you know calculus at the age of four and a half, that's a little monster! I'm a mother who pays attention to children's happy education..."

"That's it." Gu Hengbei glanced at the small schoolbag next to him that bulged like a dynamite bag, shrugged, "Then I won't teach him, let him have a happy winter vacation."

Fang Ting quickly changed the subject: "If you can teach him, that's of course very good. Your nephew, Gu Hengbei, can't be compared with others, isn't it..."

Gu Hengbei raised his eyebrows, this is true.

Fang Ting looked expectant: "Then I will hand over Ozawa to you. It shouldn't be difficult for him to learn calculus before kindergarten starts, right?"

"Look at his understanding." Gu Hengbei patted his little nephew's head, "He looks so much like me, so his IQ should follow me."

"I haven't really noticed it, you know I'm actually a mother who advocates happy education... I won't take him to an IQ test, baby," Fang Ting wiped the child's oily chin with her fingers, Ask him, "Do you think you're as smart as little uncle?"

The child puffed out his round cheeks and nodded heavily.

If the son is so confident, the mother will feel more at ease.

Fang Ting looked at her watch: "I still have 10 minutes."

She still has to take the bus to go back to Nanjiang, and fly directly to Country R tomorrow morning.

Gu Hengbei: "I'll take you back to the car after I get you to the car."

Taking advantage of this time, the mother who advocates happy education told Gu Hengbei again:

"He learns painting and piano in Nanjiang. The painting teacher has online classes every Saturday night. I will send you the teacher's live broadcast room. You can just open a tablet for him when the time comes. His father has piano..."

Gu Hengbei nodded, and added a suggestion: "The boy needs to learn literature and practice martial arts. If you have no conditions, at least enroll him in a taekwondo class, otherwise he will be bullied and beaten in the future."

Fang Ting snapped her fingers: "That makes sense! I'll make arrangements after this year is over!"

Gu Hengbei pinched the child's limp little arm again: "This winter vacation, you can learn how to ride a horse with me. Generally, children with good physique can ride a horse at the age of two and a half. Our Xiaoze is two years behind."

Fang Ting made a self-criticism from the bottom of her heart: "It was my negligence, it really doesn't work if the boy doesn't have an uncle around him!"

Little Gu Yuze gnawed on a delicious hamburger with his big round eyes open, his mouth full of oil, looking innocent and carefree, he didn't realize how inhuman his mother and uncle were.

In the last 10 minutes, Fang Ting finished explaining everything she could, and suddenly said "ah", "I heard that Ji Hanchuan lives in that hospital of yours?"

Gu Hengbei had already finished his share of food, and was holding his chin to watch his baby nephew eating happily, Fang Ting's topic jump caught him off guard, he seemed to be walking well on the stairs The person suddenly lost weight, and his heart skipped a beat.

Fang Ting leaned over and pushed Gu Hengbei's arm: "How is he now? I watched the news on the train and said he has woken up?"

Gu Hengbei withdrew his arm, leaned on the back of the chair, and said coolly: "You are so curious, do you think you are still a girl who seeks knowledge?"

Damn, you're gay with a vicious tongue.

Fang Ting gritted her teeth. If her son hadn't been in this man's hands for more than a month, she would have taken off her high-heeled boots and hit him on the head.

"I'm not curious," Fang Ting said, "Didn't I hold tens of thousands of NorMou shares in my hand? It has fallen so much before. If Ji Hanchuan doesn't wake up, I will lose everything. After that Your nephew will eat dirt if he follows me!"

The child who was gnawing on the chicken leg with relish widened his eyes in horror: "Mom, I don't want to eat dirt!"

Fang Ting winked at her son, then pouted in Gu Hengbei's direction: "Then please beg little uncle!"

"Little uncle," the child's eyes filled with tear bubbles instantly, his little hands were covered with oily chicken nuggets and crumbs of flour, all of which were smeared on Gu Hengbei's sleeves, he pursed his mouth and begged , "Please don't let me eat dirt!"

Gu Hengbei: "..."

Gu Hengbei took out a tissue to wipe his nephew's paws, and said two words dumbly: "Wake up."

"Are you really awake?" Fang Ting's eyes seemed to be shining with the light of money, and she took out her mobile phone and pressed it cracklingly.

Gu Hengbei frowned: "What are you doing?"

"Add positions! Fill positions! NorMou will definitely hold a press conference this weekend, and it will be closed on Monday! Gu Xiaosi," Fang Ting knocked on the table, "How much money do you have in your account?"

"What?"

"Hurry up, lend me as much as you have, and let's hit the daily limit!"

Gu Hengbei bit out between his teeth: "Brother Wuen!"

Fang Ting gave him a disdainful look: "You are not sensitive to financial management at all!"

"Don't increase your position yet." Seeing that Fang Ting was really trading, Gu Hengbei couldn't help reminding, "The situation is not that optimistic."

"Huh?" Fang Ting asked, "What do you mean? Isn't Ji Hanchuan awake?"

"I'm awake," Gu Hengbei paused, "He may not be holding a press conference so soon."

In short, it is not yet the time to increase positions, and even if the expected press conference this weekend fails to take place, it will lead to a continued sharp drop on Monday.

Fang Ting asked: "Then...have you met him?"

Gu Hengbei didn't speak.

Fang Ting looked at Gu Hengbei's expression: "Have you seen it? What's his attitude? Did he cry bitterly? Did he confess to you?"

Gu Hengbei looked indifferent: "Why did he confess to me?"

"Because he told our Big Boss that he is going back to Kyoto to find you."

Gu Hengbei looked at Fang Ting expressionlessly.

"Really," Fang Ting sighed, she made a big detour, and finally got to the point, "I heard it at the door of the boss's office. At this point, they mentioned your name again, so I just listened at the door for a while longer."

Fang Ting's immediate boss, Mu Nancheng, the chairman of Ennan Group, is also one of NorMou's major shareholders. She has a very good personal relationship with Ji Hanchuan. At that time, she happened to deliver documents to Mu Nancheng. She heard Ji Hanchuan when she raised her hand to knock on the door. the sound of.

Fang Ting looked around, then quietly put her ear on the door.

"...I will return to Kyoto before New Year's Day at the latest." Ji Hanchuan said.

"So urgent?" Mu Nancheng's voice.

Ji Hanchuan: "New Year's Day is Gu Hengbei's birthday."

Mu Nancheng: "Do you want to give him an autopsy as a birthday present?"

Ji Hanchuan: "He won't want it...he will just throw me out the window."

Mu Nancheng laughed, "You're really a bit of a loser."

Ji Hanchuan didn't know what he said, his voice was so low that Fang Ting couldn't hear clearly.

Mu Nancheng: "Let me give you an idea. Since he will throw you out the window, you should just appear in front of him in a five-body posture. Even if he wants to throw, he won't be able to find a good angle."

Even Fang Ting could tell it was a joke.

However, after a long silence, Fang Ting heard Ji Hanchuan say:

"Your idea is very good... I will consider the practicality."

……

Frankly speaking, Fang Ting was shocked to hear such words.

The year Fang Ting came back from abroad was the time when Gu Hengbei and Ji Hanchuan left the capital together. At that time, the two boys were not too high-profile. Xiaosi fell in love with a boy and took him to country A.

Young women are relatively tolerant in this regard, not to mention that Gu Hengbei and Ji Hanchuan are such a pleasing couple. Fang Ting even admired the courage of these two boys at that time, especially Gu Hengbei who dared to risk the power of the family. Bu Wei defended his love, he was so damn handsome.

Later Fang Ting and Gu Jinnan got married, and Gu Hengbei attended the wedding. Fang Ting told her brother-in-law in an empty corner that she hoped that Gu Hengbei would bring Ji Hanchuan to her home as a guest. She welcomed them very much and wished them the best of luck. happiness.

This was heard by Gu Jinnan, who was looking for him, and immediately lost his temper.

Before Fang Ting passed the gate, she was scolded bloody by her new husband, and she was so wronged. Later, she found out that in Gu's family, the word Ji Hanchuan was a powder keg, and it would blow up at the mention of it.

During Gu Hengbei's study abroad period, he came back twice a year. Every time he came back, the Gu family was in a state of uneasiness. It was nothing more than everyone's fierce opposition to him being with Ji Hanchuan.

The most troublesome thing was five years ago on New Year's Eve, when Gu Hangyuan pointed at Gu Hengbei in front of almost all the members of the Gu family, saying that if Gu Hengbei must get involved with that kid, then he should not do it again. Gu family.

After that day, Gu Hengbei did not come back for a long time.

The change of this matter came after the old man of the Gu family's cancer recurred and deteriorated rapidly.

The old man was running out of time, and he couldn't let go of his beloved grandson, so he compromised.

Gu Yuze was just born that year.

Fang Ting still remembered that it was a sunny afternoon, the old man was sitting on the sofa in the living room and had a video call with Gu Hengbei, the grandma was sitting beside the old man, and she was standing behind the two old men with Gu Yuze in her arms.

Fang Ting held the baby's little hand and greeted Gu Hengbei. Gu Hengbei was very happy at first.

In a distant foreign country, Gu Hengbei's place was full of lights in the late night. He sat behind a large desk, and the bright lights reflected his young, handsome and tender face.

Fang Ting watched on the screen as the look on his face was stripped away bit by bit.

The old man slowly talked about his illness—the old man has gone through great storms and waves all his life, he is fearless, and he is also steadfast in the face of terminal illness. He personally told his grandson the news, so that his Gu Xiaosi need not be afraid.

Gu Hengbei lowered his head, tears fell on the desk in front of him one by one, covering his face with trembling hands.

Tears continued to slip from his fingers.

In the end, the old man sighed softly: "Xiao Si, bring him back, Grandpa will take a look at you."

Gu Hengbei returned to the country after three days, his face covered with dust... alone.

Gu Hengbei said that originally Ji Hanchuan wanted to come back with him, and they were already at the airport, but Ji Hanchuan had to hurry back to the company, so he had to change the ticket.

In the first few days, Gu Hengbei said that Ji Hanchuan would come back "tomorrow" every day. Later, Gu Hengbei said, "He will come back when he is busy." After that, Gu Hengbei himself was not sure, and finally Gu's family asked this question , he was just silent.

After more than a month, the old man left, and Ji Hanchuan never showed up.

After the old man's funeral, Gu Hengbei returned to Country A. Not long after, Fang Ting heard that Gu Hengbei and Ji Hanchuan had broken up.

……

"I didn't want to tell you about this at first, you see I didn't say it before, no matter what you think about this person, I don't want to influence your judgment because of my talk, but something really happened to Ji Hanchuan... If this is his prophecy, then he is really a crow's mouth, but if he has premeditated—"

Before entering the station, Fang Ting said to Gu Hengbei like this, "Xiaobei, although I know you are fine now, I always feel that you can be happier."
