Fireworks in the dark night

Chu Yanxi's 20th birthday banquet was booked at the largest "Zhonghuang Hotel" in S City. The magnificent scene was enough to show Chu You's love for his only son.The people they visited were not celebrities from the business world or gang leaders in S City, so it was hard to imagine what kind of scene would be formed when these two levels of people gathered together, but they gave Chu You enough face and lived in peace. The "Yanbang" is also considered a big business. Although they still do some shady activities behind the scenes, they have also done a lot of serious business in recent years and made many serious business partners.Many people speculated that the fact that Chief Chu's painstaking whitewashing must be for the sake of Young Master Chu's succession in the future, so that the Chu family can get out of the dark and see the light.

In the lobby at this moment, the bejeweled woman, the man in a straight suit, the fake smile in the name of He Sheng, and the calmness on the surface may all be undercurrents.

Standing on the second floor, Chu Yanxi looked down at the commotion in the hall, and smiled mockingly.Is it true that people have to live against their will?He is a very quiet person, such a banquet will only increase his irritability, he understands his father's painstaking efforts, and for the future to be smooth, such human communication is essential.

His father has always been extremely protective and doting on him since he was a child. Maybe it's because his sex is too dangerous, maybe it's because of his mother, or just pure fatherly love. No matter what the reason is, the person he respects most is his father. He always smiled and agreed to his father's request.

My father once said that before the age of 20, he can do whatever he wants, but after the age of 20, he has to return to the "Yan Gang" to do what he should do. No matter how much he is reluctant, he will not To go against the will of the father, as long as the father wants to, he will do it.Or, this is what is called fate.

"Young master, don't you want to go down first?" Chen Ye had been standing beside Chu Yanxi to protect his safety, but for a moment, Chen Ye seemed to see the slightest melancholy in that sunny young man who always smiled.

"Chen Ye, is there anything in particular you want to do?"

No answer.

Chen Ye turned to look at Chu Yanxi, and clearly saw Chu Yanxi's expression. Chu Yanxi was a little weird tonight. Such a fragile expression gave Chen Ye the urge to comfort, but In the end, he didn't do anything, and replied in a flat voice: "No!" Is there really no, yes, and he is doing it.

"Really?" He didn't seem to care about Chen Ye's answer, and he said again, "But I do, I want to be a painter, I want to fulfill my mother's wish, but Dad said, after 20 years old I am an adult, and I should take up the burden that an adult should bear!" After speaking, he took another sip of champagne, maybe he drank it in a hurry, and some of it flowed out from the corner of his mouth, but no one went there. Notice.

"Ma'am, she—"

"Oh, she's been gone for 15 years. I can't even remember what she looks like, but she must still be as beautiful as before. A kind-hearted mother will definitely live happily in heaven."

Chen Ye was speechless, "I'm sorry, young master."

"It's okay, it's over."

There was silence again.

"Chen Ye, can you give me a hug?" Chu Yan wished for Chen Ye, who was half a head taller than him, and suddenly made such a request.

"Young master?" Chen Ye was too surprised, a trace of disbelief appeared on his calm face, so hug?

"Is that okay? It's like an older brother hugging a younger brother. You are 3 years older than me, so just pretend to be my older brother and let me lean on you. I'm a little tired."

Chen Ye was a little hesitant, but looking at Chu Yanxi's pitiful face, he finally walked towards him, hugged him into his arms with rare tenderness, and the faint fragrance of Chu Yanxi's body instantly came from the tip of his nose, which was refreshing and refreshing. A kind of purity flooded into Chen Ye's heart.

Feeling Chen Ye's warm embrace and listening to Chen Ye's regular and steady heartbeat, Chu Yanxi closed her eyes with peace of mind and satisfaction, wondering who would be so lucky in the future to be able to get such a firm embrace to shelter her from the wind and rain.

For a long time, no one spoke, the quiet second floor was like a happy dream, but no matter how beautiful a dream is, it will eventually wake up and be shattered.

"Young Master, Uncle Chu has arrived."

"Okay." Withdrew from Chen Ye's embrace, Chu Yanxi smiled gently again, "Chen Ye, will you help me in the future?"

"meeting."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Chu Yanxi walked down the hall, but when she turned around, she looked back at Chen Ye and said seriously, "Thank you."

Chen Ye looked at Chu Yanxi who was back to normal in the hall with an unpredictable expression. Will there be a future? Will there be a future?

In the days before Chu Yanxi was 20 years old, except for the bodyguards who went out and followed in the dark, her daily life was like that of a child in an ordinary family, simple and comfortable.As if to fulfill his promise, Chu You never asked him to participate in gang affairs, nor to attend any banquets. If it wasn't for this birthday party, it is estimated that not many outsiders would know the face of Chu You's son, the young master of the 'Yan Gang'.

Of course, Chu Yanxi understood in her heart that the purpose of this birthday party was nothing more than to hint to everyone that this young master is about to formally intervene in the internal affairs of the gang, and maybe after a few years, he will completely take over and become the future helm of the 'Yan Gang' people.Everyone is a sensible person, so it is natural to sell the face of the old gang leader in future business or other contacts, so as to support and take good care of this young master.They are all smart people, and everyone knows it.

Regardless of appearance or character, Chu Yanxi was more like his mother, without a hint of arrogance or domineering that the black prince should have, and he was always smiling, gentle and polite in dealing with everyone.Therefore, many elders at the banquet were full of praise for this young master's self-cultivation. How many of them were sincere, how many were just out of politeness, and how many were waiting in their hearts to see the future jokes of such a weak young master. These, Who would care, isn't a place like a banquet just a place to socialize while wearing a mask?

If given a choice, Chu Yanxi would rather paint at home or go out to sketch, rather than being trapped in this false world dealing with others.However, he had no choice.As the only son of Chu Ding, the responsibilities he needs to shoulder are too heavy and too great. His father will grow old one day. The days of licking blood with a knife, but as long as she thinks about the days to come, Chu Yanxi can't help but lighten her smile and sigh in her heart.

How else can we say that the father and son have a good understanding? Chu You looked at his son with a sad smile. Although he tried his best to hide it, he still seemed powerless. He knew that his son must not be able to adapt to this kind of occasion. He reached out and patted his son on the shoulder and asked : "Xiaoxi, are you tired?"

"No, I can handle it. But Dad, let's drink less. It's enough to deal with this kind of situation. Your health is important."

"Good son, Dad knows what you're thinking, but there's something—"

"Dad, Xiaoxi understands." Interrupting her father's words, how could Chu Yanxi not understand, how could he not understand his father's painstaking efforts and love for many years.Maybe his father is not a good person in the eyes of outsiders, but he is the best father in the world in his heart. Based on this alone, he will not complain about his father.

Touching Chu Yanxi's head again, Chu You looked at the docile but stubborn son in front of him, and sighed in his heart without saying a word, he really didn't know to hand over the black burden of the 'Yan Gang' to Xiao Xi Is it correct, the thorns and dangers on this road, how can you go on if you don't step on other people's corpses cruelly, his son is so kind, in the future when he dies, his Xiaoxi will carry such a heavy burden alone , What should I do, but the 'Yan Gang' is his life's painstaking effort, so how can he be willing to hand it over to outsiders.

"Let's go, I'll take you to meet my father's good friend, Uncle Su Yuan." Chu You put away his emotions, and led Chu Yanxi to the corner of the banquet.

From a distance, Chu Yanxi saw a few people standing in the corner, and at a glance saw the two people in his father's mouth.

A middle-aged man named Su Yuan was dressed in a black suit. Although his resolute face was a little wrinkled, he could still see the charming charm of his youth, and his whole person exuded an elegant temperament.

And a young man standing next to him is wearing a casual but steady white suit, with a pair of thin gold-rimmed glasses on his fair and handsome face, and the corners of his mouth are slightly curved, showing a little boyish look Such a handsome person naturally attracted the attention of many ladies and ladies around him, and that person seemed to have long been accustomed to the eyes of the people around him, and he talked with people skillfully, and everything seemed to be with ease.Chu Yanxi, who was just looking at others, naturally didn't pay attention. The gentle and handsome him seemed to have attracted the attention of many people.

Seeing Chu You and his son approaching, the others exchanged greetings and left.As soon as the outsiders walked away, the two old friends naturally became very close when they met. The words were full of greetings and concerns from the heart. The two fathers chatted for a long time before they remembered their forgotten sons. An awkward but sincere laugh.

"Come on, Xiaoxi, this is your Uncle Su. Speaking of which, our family doctor Zhou Ye used to be a doctor under your Uncle Su. This is Uncle Su's son, Su Yi. He must be two years older than Xiaoxi." ?”

"Hello Uncle Su, hello Su Yi."

"Hello, Uncle Chu, hello Xiaoxi."

The two juniors greeted each other at the same time, they were both stunned, then looked at each other and smiled, followed by hearty laughter from the two fathers, the two boys were quite destined.

"Old Chu, you said that you are really mean. Xiaoxi is already 20, so I let my uncle meet for the first time. This baby is too tight, haha..." As a close friend, this old man Su started to attack .

"Xiaoxi was in Singapore before the age of 15, and has often studied painting abroad in recent years. She didn't visit Uncle Su, so please ask Uncle Su not to be angry with Xiaoxi." Before Chu You could speak, Chu Yanxi said He opened his mouth to explain to his father.

Seeing Chu Yanxi defending his father and being polite, Su Yuan really liked Chu Yanxi so much, and when he thought of his son's foolishness, he couldn't help it, "Look how sensible Xiao Xi is, look at our Su Yi , Hey, I'm really angry, Cheng is going out for me to fool around."

"Hahaha, old Su, you just said what you said. Who doesn't know that Su Yi is a graduate of American medical school, and he is striving for success."

Su Yi, a handsome guy on the other side, quit after hearing what his father said.

"That's right, I didn't mess around, I went to work in the hospital honestly, Dad, don't ruin my image in front of Xiaoxi, I just returned to China, and I finally met a good buddy Son, don't scare me away."

He turned his head and glanced at Chu Yanxi again, and said pippily: "I knew that Uncle Chu's family has such a cute younger brother, and I would follow Uncle Chu to visit the Yan Gang for everything." Chu You occasionally visits Su's house , Su Yi is quite familiar with this uncle, so he is naturally not too restrained in his words.

When Su Yuan heard his son's words, he was really thick-skinned, really...

"Hello, doctor. When I was very young, I dreamed of becoming a doctor." At this banquet, Chu Yanxi finally met a person with a real temperament, and it was inevitable that the conversation started.Dreams, yes, my mother was in poor health when I was young, but I dreamed of becoming a doctor. After so many years, I almost can't remember this dream.

"That's right, the doctor is so handsome, and when he holds the scalpel, he looks so cool." Su Yi, a typical childish, crazy person, met Chu Yanxi, and felt that he was very close to each other, and he could chat with him, and he unconsciously showed humor in his words. Natural nature, lacking some calmness in talking with outsiders, "Then why don't you become a doctor and change your career to be a painter?"

After finishing speaking, Chu You's expression darkened immediately, and he looked at Chu Yanxi worriedly.

Chu Yanxi paused, then suddenly raised her head to imitate Su Yi's humor, winked mischievously at Su Yi, and said, "A painter sounds more artistic than a doctor!"

"Hahaha, Xiaoxi, buddy, I've made an appointment with Su Yi, okay, let's go to the art exhibition another day, I'm also a doctor with an artistic temperament."

The Su family is also a well-known family in S City, a family of doctors.

In the early years, Su Yi’s great-great-grandfather was also a so-called walking doctor in the folk, wandering all over the world and living in no fixed place. Fortunately, this great-great-grandfather was also a thrifty and motivated person. ), saw that the situation in this place was good, so he took out his savings from practicing medicine for many years, and opened a small pharmacy. In those war-torn times, the pharmacy was always full of business, and this great-great-grandfather’s medical skills were also very good. The world is not peaceful, and this pharmacy has miraculously survived.

Slowly, it has developed into a small private hospital by the time of Su Yi’s grandfather, and today it has developed into the largest private hospital in S City under the hands of Su Yi’s father, Su Yuan. As a doctor in the hospital, Su Yuan is only Su Yi's child. Fortunately, Su Yi is also up to the task. He obtained a doctorate degree in medicine from the American Medical School at a young age. Compared with other cousins, he can be regarded as the best one. .

But Su Yi also has a bad habit. He likes to mess around with women everywhere. He was studying abroad. Ge Ge dressed up like a nympho all day long, just to get the attention of Su Yi's charming eyes.Su Yuan gets a headache every time he sees Su Yi upright picking up girls in the hospital. Su Yuan himself is a well-known wife-loving slave, and the dean's wife is also a gentle and charming pretty nurse. Like his great-grandfather, Su Yuan once wondered for a long time that the atavistic inheritance was too far apart. Every time he scolded Su Yi, he immediately pretended to be pitiful and wronged, and said that it was the girl who insisted on it. He didn't do it, and even the servants at home said that the master was not kind to his son, etc., and even his wife stood by his son, which made Dean Su so angry that he had no choice but to turn a blind eye now.
