The rich have an ugly duckling

At the end of December, as a cold current swept across the entire northern land, the temperature in Beijing became lower day by day.

On the night of New Year's Eve, the outdoor temperature in the capital has dropped to minus ten degrees.

Zhu Jindong took the ginger tea prepared by his aunt and knocked on the door of Chen Wu's room. As expected, the little curly hair was still studying.

Zhu Jindong put the steaming ginger tea on the table, and put his hand on Chen Wu's shoulder naturally: "Take a break, you've been reading all day."

Chen Wu looked at the time, unexpectedly, it was already ten o'clock in the evening before he knew it.

Zhu Jindong was a little funny seeing his confused look, but in order to explain the seriousness of the matter, he still said with a straight face: "I didn't check the time again? Did I stay up late again if I didn't come here?"

With the intensification of learning tasks, Chen Wu has been working overtime until the early hours of the morning from time to time, and was caught by Zhu Jindong several times and severely criticized.

"After drinking this cup of ginger tea, let's rest, today is the New Year's Eve." Zhu Jindong walked to the window, fiddled with the leaves of the green plants, and said with a gloomy look: "In the new year, you will grow up. "

Before Chen Wu could speak, the cell phone on the table rang, it was Zhou Youwei's call.

Chen Wu quickly picked it up.

"Hello, Aunt Zhou, what's the matter?"

Zhou Youwei's angry voice came from the phone. Chen Wu listened carefully, nodding from time to time, looking very focused, as if he was listening to something important.Zhu Jindong kept his door clear and waited for Chen Wu to finish hanging up the phone to "teach" him.

"Yeah, I see. I told brother Jindong that we should go back early."

When Zhou Youwei hung up the phone, Chen Wuguo looked at Zhu Jindong disapprovingly: "Brother Jindong, why are you ignoring Aunt Zhou?"

Zhu Jindong shrugged innocently: "Why did I ignore her, and she still complained to you?"

Seeing that Zhu Jindong didn't care, Chen Wu was also a little angry: "Aunt Zhou told us to go home early for the New Year, why did you ignore Aunt Zhou? You didn't even tell me."

Because of Chen Wu's unfortunate birth, he yearned for a happy family since he was a child. Aunt Zhou called several times to urge her son to go home and have a look, but Zhu Jindong didn't agree.

It would make sense if he was busy, but Chen Wu could see clearly that Zhu Jindong had been staying in his room all this time, sometimes doing business, but most of the time he was "idlely" staring at him. As if there was no time to go back.Moreover, Zhu Jindong didn't mention anything to him during this period, and Chen Wu was also a little angry when he thought of Aunt Zhou's disappointed tone on the phone.

Zhu Jindong didn't realize the importance of this matter in Chen Wu's heart, and continued to play with the green radish on the window sill, his tone unhurried: "How long is it now, and the Chinese New Year is still early, why go back so early." Y. X. d. j.

When Chen Wu heard this, he became even more angry, and his red and tender mouth unconsciously pouted.His birthday is still more than three months away. Brother Jindong said it was not too early, and it was only more than a month before the Chinese New Year, but he said it was still too early. I didn't understand what he was thinking at all, but it really wasn't too late. Aunt Zhou should be perfunctory for these reasons.

It was the first time that Zhu Jindong saw Chen Wu's small appearance with an oil bottle hanging on his mouth. It was a little funny, and he stared at Chen Wu blankly and said, "The two of you are so interesting, why are you in a hurry to go home?"

Chen Wu said in a serious tone: "It's time for a reunion during the Chinese New Year. Aunt Zhou has called you so many times. How can you keep rejecting her?"

Zhu Jindong strode over, forced Chen Wu back to the table, supported the table with one hand, leaned down, and squeezed Chen Wu's face: "What's the matter, the housekeeper still cares about me, I didn't come back because of you Is it home?"

Chen Wu slapped Zhu Jindong's hand off angrily, and got out from underneath.

"Angry?"

Chen Wu ignored him.

The more Zhu Jindong looked at it, the more amusing he became. Why is Xiao Curly's angry appearance so painful, "Hey, don't be angry, I'm happy to be under your control. If you take care of me, I'm happy."

Chen Wu didn't know why brother Jindong had become so shameless recently, he just didn't want to talk to this person anymore.

Seeing that Chen Wu was really angry, Zhu Jindong didn't dare to tease him hard, so he quickly admitted his mistake: "Then let's go back this weekend, don't be angry, we can hang a few oil bottles on our little mouth." He squeezed Chen Wu's pouted mouth.

When Chen Wu heard that Zhu Jindong agreed, his face brightened.

Zhu Jindong is really rare for Chen Wu's unrestrained and easy-to-coax look, he is so obedient, he wants to put Chen Wu in his pocket anytime, anywhere, and take it with him wherever he goes.

The two went back to Zhu's house for a few days and then returned to the small apartment.

After Chen Wu successfully completed the final exam, the winter vacation will follow.Zhu Jindong's vacation was earlier, and the two moved back to Zhu's house.

On the day of Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhu Xueliang was away on business, so he couldn't make it back in time, so there was no big event for the reunion.Zhou Youwei invited the elders and close relatives of the family over for a reunion dinner.

The elders are basically from the Zhu family.Zhou Youwei is the youngest daughter of the Zhou family. Her parents were already four years old when they gave birth to her, and they passed away a few years ago.And Zhu Xueliang is the eldest son in the family, and the two old people are in good spirits.

Chen Wu greeted Grandpa Zhu and Grandma Zhu in a friendly manner.The two old people are very kind. They met Chen Wu when they came to Zhu's house.At that time, Chen Wu was still very thin and emaciated. Grandma Zhu's eyes were red when she saw his pitiful appearance.

Unexpectedly, in the past few years, Chen Wu has grown up, but he looks fair and well-behaved.This appearance is the most pleasing to the old man. Grandma Zhu took Chen Wu and talked to him for a long time, praising him as a good boy, and finally sealed a big red envelope for Chen Wu. Chen Wu was embarrassed to accept it. Zhu Jindong stood beside him and said: "A gift from the elders, it cannot be denied. Take it, it's just a little wish from grandma."

Grandma Zhu also smiled and said: "You look cute, and I, an old woman, feel happy when I look at it. Hold it, don't go out with grandma! I heard that you will be eighteen soon, Grandma will also come to celebrate your birthday!"

How could Chen Wu dare to refuse again, so he could only bite the bullet and accept it.

At the end of March, Chen Wu's 18th birthday was ushered in.

Chen Wu's birthday has never passed.I didn't do it in the village in the city before. Although Aunt Zhou and the others remembered it after Zhu's home, they were all busy and rarely celebrated Chen Wu's birthday formally.

But the coming-of-age ceremony is different. Zhou Youwei took Chen Wu to look it over carefully, with relief in her eyes: "Not bad. Our Chen Wu has grown up! He has become handsome! After the birthday, we will be adults. Auntie usually Busy, I neglected to discipline you all, but you have grown up very well, auntie is very pleased. Tomorrow is your birthday, and auntie helped you hold a coming-of-age ceremony. There are many people coming tomorrow, so you should go get to know each other , Make more friends in the future, it won't do you any harm."

Chen Wu knew that Aunt Zhou was helping him pave the way, and she also secretly announced in the upper class circle that Chen Wu would be brought under the Zhu family's wing. How could Chen Wu not be moved by this great kindness.Zhu's family network is something that many people dream of but can't get anything, but Aunt Zhou helped him achieve it on the first day of his adulthood. Who would have thought that he was just a child who was abandoned by a low-level migrant worker?

Chen Wu nodded gratefully, remembering what he said when he was a child that he would give all the money he earned in the future to Aunt Zhou.Aunt Zhou may treat him as childish, which is not true, but he is sincere. Since the Zhu family has given him a new life, he will do his best to protect the Zhu family. Even if his strength is insignificant, it is the most sincere in his heart. idea.

On his birthday, many people came, most of whom Chen Wu didn't know.They gave Chen Wu many expensive gifts and treated Chen Wu with respect.

Chen Wu asked Zhou Youwei's opinion, and after getting approval, he invited Fan Jia and the others to come and play together.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, Zhou Youwei asked Zhu Jindong and Chen Wu to take Fan Jia and the other young people out to have fun, and she had to go back to the company beforehand.

When I left the small garden, I heard a few guests who hadn't left yet, and they lowered their voices to talk.

"What's the origin of that kid?"

"I don't know. It is said that he has been raised in Zhu's family for ten years. No matter what his status is, he is probably considered half a young master."

"I heard that the child was picked up from the village in the city more than ten years ago. Look at it now. Tsk tsk, it really flew up to the branch to become a phoenix!"

"Hey, let me tell you, he shouldn't be that or something? Jay Chou can bear it too?"

Zhu Jindong walked over with Chen Wu in his arms, and said with a smile: "Maybe I didn't introduce it clearly just now, he is from our Zhu family. As for whether to kiss or not, maybe there is no need to explain to you."

Several guests saw that although Zhu Jindong was smiling, there was no smile in their eyes at all. Thinking that the young master of the Zhu family was no worse than his father, their legs immediately became weak, and they quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, we are talking too much!"

Except for Fan Jia, several students were a little dazed by the side.They didn't know that Chen Wu had such a close relationship with Zhu's family, and they saw that Chen Wu was usually thrifty and gentle, not like a kid from a rich family at all.Today I thought I was here to attend Chen Wu's birthday party, and I deliberately dressed plainly, fearing that I would look out of place in Chen Wu's house, but I didn't expect to be picked up by a luxury car when I went out. Take it easy.

When Zhu Jindong took him out to play, Cai Siluo circled Fan Jia and asked through gritted teeth: "What's going on? Why didn't you tell us about Chen Wu earlier!"

Fan Jia pushed Chai Siluo's hand away, turned her head and said to Chao Tong: "Take care of your girlfriend, don't let her get so close to me!" Although Fan Jia has a big mouth, she just likes to talk about her own family. She never talks too much about family affairs.

Seeing Fan Jia's well-dressed appearance and his disheveled appearance, Cai Siluo panicked even more, insisting on pulling Fan Jia and talking.Chao Tong patted Chai Siluo and told her to look ahead.

Chen Wu and Zhu Jindong walked very close, the two of them seemed to be in a different world, and they were about to go out of sight.

Cai Siluo could only say angrily: "Let's go, let's go, if you don't go, you won't be able to keep up. I'm too lazy to argue with you, a woman today."

In the afternoon, Zhu Jindong asked for their advice and went to the video game city together, and then went to the secret room to escape.When he successfully came out of the secret room, Cai Siluo glanced at the time: "Huh? It only took us half an hour to get out?"

Fan Jia turned around and asked Zhu Jindong: "Senior, have you come to play before?"

Zhu Jindong shook his head.

Everyone except Chen Wu was stunned, as if who am I and where am I.The secret room here is very popular. It is said that it is one of the most difficult secret rooms in the capital. It turned out that it came out in half an hour. It came out without saying a few words, and it can be said that there is no game experience.

But Zhu Jindong was not happy with the few of them following them, so he didn't care about their game experience, pretending to be enthusiastic, and asked: "There are different themed rooms here, do you still play?"

Several people frantically shook their heads to express their refusal, and soon left.Satisfied, Zhu Jindong dragged Chen Wu back to the small apartment, and went to their two-person world, so no one would bother him.
