shallow affection

The trip was imminent, so Jian Qing and Li forced himself to pack his luggage.A few pieces of clothes were packed casually, and lenses, cameras, tripods, and stabilizers accounted for more than half of the box.

He obviously didn't do much physical activity, but he was out of breath from exhaustion, his pale face and his eyes were bloodshot.

Xia Ziying was also busy at the side.Ever since he saw the slap marks on Jian Qingli's face after removing makeup, he understood the reason for the other's decadence, so he tried his best to minimize his presence and didn't dare to disturb him.

Over the past night, Jian Qingli seemed to have recovered a little anger, and began to explain the precautions for this trip to Xia Ziying.Xia Ziying listened intently, and after Jian Qingli finished speaking, he would repeat one point. He was a good and well-behaved student.

"Well, that's all, don't conflict with the team members, just cooperate with me to shoot, the price..."

"Don't talk about the price, I still owe you rent!"

"Okay," Jian Qingli smiled politely.

"Brother Jian," Xia Ziying considered her words with concern, "Did you not sleep last night?"

"Sleep." Jian Qingli's tone was loose, and she lowered her head and seemed to be concentrating on playing with the tablet. Seeing this scene, Xia Ziying was inconvenient to ask questions.

After get off work the next day, Fang Mingzhan planned to go to Yunshuiyuan, but just after leaving the company, he received a call from Yang Tong, urging him to go back to the villa for dinner, and said that there were distinguished guests waiting for him.

He went in without knowing it, and when he got home, Ge Yiyi was talking with Yang Tong in the living room. Hearing the sound of the entrance, he raised his head and smiled at him half embarrassed and half helpless.

Fang Mingzhan threw the car keys on the shoe cabinet, furious: "Mom, what do you mean?"

"Yiyi is here, you don't even say hello? It's rude." Yang Tong complained.

Ge Yiyi hurriedly smoothed things over: "My aunt and I met by chance in the shopping mall, she insisted on inviting me to come and sit down, and I forgot the time while chatting, I'm sorry."

Fang Mingzhan smiled bluntly.

The dinner is very rich, but the atmosphere is not harmonious enough.Yang Tong asked Ge Yiyi a lot of questions, the scale was just right, not too much to pry into privacy, but he successfully lured out Ge Yiyi's schooling experience, family situation, hobbies and so on.She admired Ge Yiyi very much, and she was generous with her compliments. Ge Yiyi was embarrassed by the praise, and looked in the direction of Fang Mingzhan frequently, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Fang Mingzhan ate by himself, with a calm and restrained demeanor, as if the two people beside him did not exist.Yang Tong couldn't get used to it, so he kept throwing the topic at him, Mingzhan, what do you think?

Miss Ge is excellent.

Fang Mingzhan's answer was very short. Although what he said was praise, his tone was neither salty nor weak. There were only a few adjectives, such as excellent, smart, and successful in his career.

After a few times, Ge Yiyi's smile became more and more forced. Although she still answered every question, her expression showed repulsion and tiredness, and her eyes only fell on the dishes in front of her, feeling aggrieved and aggrieved.

So Yang Tong also gradually became silent, and stopped persecuting the little girl.She stared at Fang Mingzhan with extremely angry eyes, but Fang Mingzhan was indifferent and had no intention of remedial.There was no other way, Yang Tong had no choice but to play the role of a loving elder, serving Ge Yiyi vegetables and soup, being extremely attentive.

Finally the unpleasant dinner was over, Ge Yiyi didn't want to stay any longer, so she left in a hurry.Fang Mingzhan said, "I'll send Miss Ge off."

"No need!" Ge Yiyi is also a well-loved daughter of a rich family, and she is inevitably angry after being treated so contemptuously today.

Fang Mingzhan opened the door for her, and the two left the villa one after the other.In the yard, Fang Mingzhan apologized to her.

Ge Yiyi looked at him for a while, and then calmed down: "It's okay." In order to prove that she is not the kind of person who posted upside down, she explained that she really met her aunt by chance today, and I didn't insist on coming to your house.

"I know, I also did it for my mother to let her stop thinking about it earlier, so don't delay you."

Ge Yiyi felt her nose a little sour, and said arrogantly: "Then you are too much, you have to treat me to dinner, and apologize."

Fang Mingzhan smiled implicitly: "Okay, I'll call him along."

When Ge Yiyi heard the first word, her mood brightened instantly, and after hearing the whole sentence, her expression suddenly collapsed, leaving only a wry smile.She opened the car door and waved to Fang Mingzhan, "You keep your word."

After Ge Yiyi left, Fang Mingzhan wandered on the tree-lined road in front of the villa, met a few neighbors whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and exchanged polite greetings for a while.

The lights are behind, shooting from a familiar direction, and the flowers and plants in the yard are whirling and quiet, with a unique charm.That was the place where he had lived for more than 20 years, and it should have given him an infinite sense of security and attachment, but Fang Mingzhan didn't want to get close at all.Maybe it wasn't the house itself, but the people in the house that made him feel resistant.

He still likes Jian Qingli's second-hand house. It is crowded and messy, but warm and welcoming. Like its owner, it is very good at making people happy.

Fang Mingzhan called Jian Qingli, but no one answered.

He turned into the yard from the boulevard, closed the carved iron gate, sat on the stone bench and dialed it again.

The monotonous beeping sounded again and again, expecting to be interrupted, but the other party did not come, so it was embarrassed and stopped singing suddenly.

This time, Fang Mingzhan was not only bored, but also worried.

"Who are you calling?"

Fang Mingzhan raised his head and saw Yang Tong standing in the window of the living room on the first floor, he didn't know how long he had been watching.

A few willow branches floated gracefully in the center of their field of vision. They were planted by Fang Yulang many years ago. They probably had some beautiful meaning, but no one can remember them now.

"Jian Qingli, I'm calling Jian Qingli."

Yang Tong was caught off guard.This sudden confession and declaration of war made her feel confused, it was too sudden, she knew that the moment of eruption would always come, but she never expected that Fang Mingzhan would ignite the fuse so plainly.

The seeds of the bomb planted four years ago or even longer ago, bang bang bang, bombarded Yang Tong with blood.

She supported the window sill with her palms, sharing the sudden weight of her body, and stared at her son gnashing her teeth: "Fang Mingzhan, say it again!"

"Didn't you already find out? Otherwise, what are you doing back home?" Fang Mingzhan was concerned about her physical condition, tried to keep a calm tone, and said clearly and brutally: "I made up with him."

"Do you have any shame? Do you have a conscience! Have you ever thought about my feelings? Reconciliation... thanks to your words!"

"How did he treat you, how did he treat me? Have you forgotten? You insulted me by saying that kind of thing, and you still turn your elbows away. Have you ever treated your mother like this!"

A series of parallel sentences came whistling, filled with resentment.Fang Mingzhan endured it silently, and walked into the villa from the courtyard, hoping that her voice would be quieter and her emotions would not be so agitated.

"Mom, sit down first."

"Don't call me mom! I don't have a son like you!" Yang Tong leaned on the wall and refused to sit, otherwise she would become weak and fail.She was crying, but she looked proudly at Fang Mingzhan, "I ask you, how did you promise me four years ago? You said that if I stop and let him graduate smoothly, you will break with him completely. Did you do it!"

"I did it." Fang Mingzhan had no shame and looked calm.Before Yang Tong trembled his lips and was about to scream again, he added, "But a broken rope can also be connected."

"Ha, hahaha," Yang Tong opened his bright red lips, crying and laughing, "Fang Mingzhan, you would rather be his dog than my son! My God! Hahaha!"

The word "dog" angered Fang Mingzhan, he said, "Mom, don't force me."

"I forced you? Obviously you are forcing me!" Yang Tong's face was wet and flushed, she gasped twice, "You know that what I hate the most is that bitch and little bastard, You just..."

She choked up badly, and there was fire and hatred in her eyes, burning Fang Mingzhan.

Fang Mingzhan felt powerless and bored, he even wanted to cry, louder than Yang Tong, and wanted to tell the whole world of his grievances.But in the end he just took a deep breath and said, "Calm down."

After some venting, Yang Tong's voice also became weak, but still full of resentment: "I don't need to calm down, it's you who needs to be calm, you will like that little vixen only when you are obsessed with ghosts!"

"Whatever you say. Mom, please don't meddle in the affairs between me and him, let the past pass."

"Impossible!" Yang Tong flatly refused.She regretted showing mercy to Jian Qingli yesterday, and should let the whole company know the bad behavior of that little bastard.

"What do you want?"

"If he still wants to face, he should obediently go back to the mouse hole. Four years ago, he was sharp-mouthed, but yesterday he learned to be obedient and kept silent."

Fang Mingzhan was shocked, and asked in disbelief, "Did you go find him?"

Yang Tong accidentally slipped his tongue, embarrassed and guilty, and suddenly felt a little fear of Ming Zhan's bright eyes above him.Is this her son, or a stranger?

"Why, are you going to hit me?" She tried her best not to show her timidity.

Fang Mingzhan's fists were shaking because he clenched them too tightly. He looked at Yang Tong for a while, then turned around bluntly, and went upstairs step by step.

Yang Tong rushed to the foot of the stairs, leaning on the railing, and shouted hoarsely: "I tell you, as long as I'm still alive, you don't want to be with that little bastard!"
