The rich have an ugly duckling

Zhu Pengpeng stayed with Kang Lanxin throughout the summer vacation, and when she received a call from Zhou Youwei, Zhu Pengpeng was watching Kang Lanxin making dinner.

When Zhu Pengpeng hung up the phone, Kang Lanxin turned around and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Pengpeng frowned: "My mother told me to go home."

Kang Lanxin took out the baked snacks from the oven and fed one to Zhu Pengpeng: "After eating this cookie, go away, I wish you a good dream tonight."

Zhu Pengpeng ate the cookie, commented that it was too sweet, and then drove back to Zhu's house.

When she came home, Zhou Youwei was sitting in the living room, the TV was on, and a bloody family ethics drama was being played.

Zhu Pengpeng ran over to Zhou Youwei's side affectionately: "Mom, what are you looking at? Why did you suddenly think of asking me to go home to Yihan?"

Zhou Youwei then turned her head, glanced at her spoiled and raised daughter, and said coldly, "Who were you with just now?"

The smile on Zhu Pengpeng's face froze for a moment, then he said, "With my classmates, we're just having a graduation party."

Zhou Youwei sneered: "Which classmate? Tell mom to understand."

Zhu Pengpeng let go of Zhou Youwei's arm, frowned and asked, "Mom, do you know something?"

Zhou Youwei took out a photo and threw it on the tea table, then said in a cold voice, "Let me explain."

Seeing the intimate photo of her and Kang Lanxin, Zhu Pengpeng's face suddenly became gloomy, and he immediately guessed that Kang Lanxin was behind it, and was shocked and angry for a moment, picked up the photo and tore it to pieces.

She stood up and said to Zhou Youwei: "Mom, I'm sorry, our business is like this. But I'm done with her from today, so don't be angry."

After all, Zhou Youwei loves her daughter very much. Hearing that she promised to break up, the anger in her heart subsided a lot, so she couldn't bear to punish her more, but when she thought that there were still two hanging around outside, her expression was still not good-looking: "Your brother and Do you know about Chen Wu?"

When Zhu Pengpeng heard this, his body shook. Kang Lan thought how many stupid things did that bitch do? !

Seeing her expression, Zhou Youwei became a little clearer, and said with a frown: "You shouldn't have kept your brother's affairs from me."

Zhu Pengpeng said: "Mom, don't be angry. I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would be angry. Originally, when they came back this time, I wanted to tell Chen Wu to move out of our house, but now that you know, he also There is no need to stay in our house anymore. My brother can no longer be so obsessed."

Zhou Youwei sneered: "Chen Wu really can't stay in our house anymore. I never thought that after raising him for 12 years, he would end up repaying me like this. It really chills my heart! Now just think about them The fact that they are still sleeping together at such a young age feels like a thorn in my heart!"

Looking at Zhou Youwei's haggard face and bloodshot eyeballs, Zhu Pengpeng immediately became worried: "Mom, did you not sleep? Go and rest for a while, your face is too ugly now."

Zhou Youwei thought of the bed that she had slept with Zhu Xueliang for more than 20 years, and felt nauseated: "It's okay, I can't sleep."

Zhu Pengpeng was really worried about her, so regardless of her objection, he called Aunt Zhang over and sent Zhou Youwei to the room together, letting her rest for a while.

After the door was closed, Aunt Zhang pulled Zhu Pengpeng and said in a low voice: "Madam's condition is indeed a bit wrong. I haven't gone to the company for the past two days. I have been staying in the living room and haven't gone back to my room to sleep. I wanted to call my husband secretly. In the end, my wife saw it, and she wouldn't let me hit it."

Zhu Pengpeng's mind is also quite confused now. Although she knows that Zhou Youwei's condition is not right, she really can't think of the reason, and rubbed her forehead wearily: "You remember to bring her dinner later, I will go out first."

As soon as Zhu Pengpeng left Zhu's house, his face darkened.

When she knocked on the door of the apartment again, Kang Lanxin came to open the door for her wearing an apron. When she saw her, she smiled and said hello: "You're back? So fast, dinner isn't ready yet."

Zhu Pengpeng slapped Kang Lan's heart hard: "Bitch, what have you done?"

Kang Lan covered her face and smiled: "It seems that you know. I didn't do anything, I just told your mother the truth. What's the matter? Is there any problem?"

Seeing her like this, Zhu Pengpeng's heart turned cold: "Why? Tell me why?"

Kang Lanxin took his hands off his face and said calmly: "Come in first, I don't want the neighbors to watch our good show."

Zhu Pengpeng followed her into the house.

Kang Lanxin did not speak immediately, but went into the kitchen and took out the dinner she had prepared.

"Pengpeng, are you hungry? I made your favorite glutinous rice chicken today."

Zhu Pengpeng threw the dishes on the table to the ground, and the plates shattered all over the floor: "That's enough! I'm asking you a question, I don't need your fake kindness!"

Kang Lanxin walked up and touched Zhu Pengpeng's face, and smiled: "Don't be too angry. Remember, I once taught you the truth, no matter how angry or resentful you are, don't show it easily. Suppress your anger, put on a gentle mask, let your enemies let down their vigilance, and silently give a fatal blow to the person you hate the most without any defense. So, if you hate me, You shouldn't be so angry with me."

Zhu Pengpeng watched her show her vicious nature little by little, and she was more and more different from the sister Lan Xin in her memory, and screamed in pain: "Shut up! Don't mention the past, you are not my sister Lan Xin, you are bitch!"

A cruel smile appeared on Kang Lanxin's face: "I don't know if your mother told you, but strictly speaking, I am your older sister. Your father and my mother gave birth to me, and I am your half-brother." Mother's sister, so as a younger sister, you shouldn't scold me like that."

Zhu Pengpeng had a frightened and angry expression on her face, her face turned pale and her lips trembled: "Impossible! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Kang Lan tilted her head and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. My mother is your father, oh no, it should be my father. My mother used to be his tutor. They gave birth to me. More than ten years ago, I I also became your tutor, and we are together too, but this is not fate, it is my revenge on you Zhujia! Look at you, you are also the daughter of Zhu Xueliang, you are a princess who grew up pampered, I It's an ant being ridiculed by others, how ridiculous!"

Zhu Pengpeng squatted down in pain, holding his head: "Stop talking! You bitch, you are not my sister Lan Xin, you are not!"

Kang Lanxin slowly walked towards Zhu Pengpeng: "Don't be sad, my dear sister, come, let your sister come and hug you, just like many years ago, don't you like me to hug you the most?"

"Don't come here, get out! You are not my sister Lan Xin!"

Zhu Pengpeng cried while shaking his head.But Kang Lanxin still had a cruel smile on his face, and walked towards Zhu Pengpeng step by step.Zhu Pengpeng bit his lip, grabbed the debris on the ground and waved it towards Kang Lanxin in a panic: "I told you not to come here! You are not my sister Lan Xin!"

Kang Lan felt the arteries that had been cut open by the sharp fragments, and his hands were covered with blood.She froze for a moment, then fell to the floor with her eyes darkened.

Zhu Pengpeng sat slumped on the ground, shaking Kang Lan's heart with a trembling hand, but she had already lost consciousness.

Soon, the siren of an ambulance sounded in the area.

Zhu Pengpeng sat outside the emergency room with a pale face, his mind went blank, and he didn't know why things became like this.In the end, Kang Lanxin was rescued and came back. She looked at Zhu Pengpeng's slack eyes and silent expression, a triumphant smile appeared on her pale face.Although the price is a bit high, as long as she sees that they are having a hard time like her, she will be happy.

It was already mid-July when Chen Wu and Zhu Jindong came back from vacation, and the two of them had no idea that Zhu's family was in chaos at this time.

In just half a month, Zhu Pengpeng suffered from serious mental illness, and she stayed behind closed doors all day long, holding her favorite bear doll in her childhood, and sat there all day long, like a child who had lost her soul. She is a baby, and Zhou Youwei's hair roots have grown white hair, and she has lost more than ten catties in more than ten days, and she looks haggard.

But Zhou Youwei insisted and told herself that she couldn't fall down, she had to solve everything one by one, her family couldn't just collapse like this, the word admit defeat was never in her dictionary.

Zhou Youwei called Chen Wu alone and asked him to meet at the cafe.

When Chen Wu saw Zhou Youwei's thin appearance for the first time, he was taken aback, thinking that she was suffering from some kind of illness, and his heart was full of worries.

Zhou Youwei glanced at Chen Wu indifferently, and didn't intend to go around in circles: "You two are living happily outside? Chen Wu, let me ask you, is there anything we Zhujia can't do to you? Why are you doing this? Do?"

Chen Wu's face turned pale instantly, it turned out that Aunt Zhou knew about it.Is she so haggard because of this incident?Chen Wu opened his mouth several times to explain, but in the end he didn't know what to say except to apologize: "I'm sorry, Aunt Zhou."

Zhou Youwei sneered: "What's the use of being sorry? Do you know how uncomfortable I feel right now? I brought you to our house for you to eat, wear, and study. It's not for you to seduce my son!"

Chen Wu held the coffee cup in both hands, the palms of which were covered with sweat, and his normally rosy lips were now bleak.Although he thought he had never seduced Zhu Jindong, it was an indisputable fact that he was with Aunt Zhou's only son, so he tightly closed his dry lips and did not argue for himself.

Zhou Youwei didn't want to say more, she picked up a card on the table and threw it in front of Chen Wu: "I don't think our family has any regrets for you, this card contains 1000 million, it is the last gift to thank you. Now that you are an adult and have graduated from high school, I think there is no need for you to stay in our house. You have this card, and you will not appear in front of us in the future. You are not allowed to look for my son in the future. "

Chen Wu stared blankly at the cards on the table, and his eyes became wet unconsciously.He has always loved Zhou Youwei as his own mother, but now Zhou Youwei is disappointed in him, and even hates him, this feeling is too bad.

He tried hard to control his emotions, and pushed the card back: "Aunt Zhou, thank you for your kindness in nurturing you for so many years. Although I may not be qualified to say this, I still want to say that you and Uncle Zhu are mine." Reborn parents, you have given me too many things, which I couldn't imagine in the past, so you don't have to give me the money. As for the matter between me and Brother Jindong, please give me a chance, I think Talk to him again, I may not be able to assure you about the ending, sorry, Aunt Zhou."

Zhou Youwei sneered: "You don't need to talk to him anymore! There is no room for negotiation on this matter! I ask you to leave my family now and out of my sight! As for money, you can spend it as you like Throw it away, it has nothing to do with me." After Zhou Youwei finished speaking, she took her bag and left.

Chen Wu stood up, courageously said to her back: "Aunt Zhou, remember to take care of yourself."

Zhou Youwei's footsteps paused, and then she mocked: "You don't need to pretend to be kind, a person who doesn't even care about his own father, how dare I let you care about me? If you really have a conscience, please leave immediately my son."

After Zhou Youwei left, Chen Wu sat quietly in the coffee shop without moving a muscle until closing time, when he was reminded by the waiter, he came out with a dazed expression.

The capital city was bustling and noisy at night, Chen Wu walked aimlessly along the sidewalk.He didn't know where to go or what to do.

Until the phone rang, Chen Wu picked it up numbly, and heard a deep voice: "Hey, baby, why haven't you come back? What did my mother talk to you for so long?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Chen Wu remembered the days and nights the two of them had spent, and he choked up instantly. He suppressed his crying and said to Zhu Jindong: "Brother Jindong, come out and pick me up. I have something to talk to you about." explain."

When Zhu Jindong drove to pick up Chen Wu, he saw him sitting on a bench in the park, looking lonely at the family of three playing in front of him.Zhu Jindong thumped in his heart. He walked forward and squatted in front of Chen Wu: "What's wrong? You were fine when you left, why are you like this now? My mother wouldn't scold you, would she?"

Chen Wu stretched out his arms and hugged Zhu Jindong's neck, tears streaming down his cheeks: "I saw Aunt Zhou today, and she is in a very bad condition. She also...knows about us."

Zhu Jindong felt the cold liquid flowing from his neck, and said in a deep voice, "What did she say?"

"It's nothing, Brother Jindong. It's just that we may not be together anymore, I..." Before Chen Wu finished speaking, Zhu Jindong stood up, with a gloomy face: "I can't break up with you! Such words Don't talk about it in the future."

Chen Wu wiped away the tears from his eyes with a wry smile, he really didn't know what to do.Now he seems to be being torn by a pair of big hands at the same time, one is his promise to Zhu Jindong, and the other is his awe of Zhou Youwei, both forces are pulling him, he doesn't know what to do, it seems to be the same Incorrect.

Zhu Jindong drove Chen Wu back to the apartment, and the two of them didn't say a word along the way.After returning to the apartment, Zhu Jindong tossed Chen Wu hard on the bed. At dawn the next day, he locked all the doors and windows of the apartment before going out and returning to Zhu's house.

Seeing Zhou Youwei's thin appearance, Zhu Jindong frowned fiercely: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Why are you so thin?"

Zhou Youwei sneered and said, "It's rare that you still have my mother in your heart. When you were hanging out with Chen Wusi behind my back, did you think about me?"

"Mom, I originally planned to come back from this vacation to tell you. How did you know? And I'm with Chen Wu. I didn't break the law and I didn't lose my morals. Why did you put pressure on Chen Wu alone? Is there anything wrong with me being with him?"

Zhou Youwei was almost laughed angrily: "Okay, you are really capable now, you are with Chen Wu, how dare you say that there is nothing wrong?! Do you know, I just need to think of it now, you are as old as him Sleeping on the same bed, I can't sleep all night, are you dazed by him? You said such things to me!"

Zhu Jindong's face was also not good-looking, and he said in a serious tone: "I don't understand what happened to me and Chen Wu being together? Why do you object so much? Anyway, I don't want anyone in my life except him."

Zhou Youwei was so angry that her blood flowed backwards, her mind went blank, she almost fainted, she supported the sofa for a while, and then said: "I don't want to argue with you anymore, whether you agree or not, I can't let you You and Chen Wu continue. I have already completed your transfer procedures for you, and it is the school you wanted to go to before. You have been delayed for so many years because of Chen Wu, and it is time to get back on track. "

Zhou Youwei has always been a strong person, and her desire to control is stronger than that of ordinary women, but Zhu Jindong has always been excellent and fully in line with her expectations, so she has lived in peace for so many years, but now Zhu Jindong is out of the right track in her eyes. Desire is gradually revealed.

Zhu Jindong was really dissatisfied in his heart—why did his life follow his mother's plan?He was a human being, not a machine she could manipulate.But considering Zhou Youwei's body, he tried his best to suppress his anger, so he didn't say anything more hurtful.In the end, the mother and son broke up unhappy.

After Zhu Jindong left, Zhou Youwei wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and went to Zhu Pengpeng's room to look at her.Zhu Pengpeng's room was very dark, the lights were not turned on, and the heavy curtains were tightly closed. The temperature was adjusted to more than ten degrees, and it seemed very depressing once entering.

Zhu Pengpeng was still hugging her teddy bear, sitting on the bed without saying anything, the food beside her was already completely cold.Seeing her daughter in this state, Zhou Youwei was heartbroken and wished she could kill Kang Lanxin herself, but the psychiatrist said that Kang Lanxin was very important to Zhu Pengpeng's treatment, and it was her most obsessed joint. So she can't move yet.

Zhou Youwei sat next to Zhu Pengpeng, hugged her daughter in her arms, and gently advised her: "Hey Pengpeng, how about some porridge? Mommy loves you so much."

Zhu Pengpeng's dry eyes moved, picked up the cold porridge on the bedside and drank it in one gulp, almost without chewing: "I drank it, Mom. I want to stay by myself for a while, can you go out?"

Zhou Youwei covered her mouth and almost cried out, but in the end she could only leave the room with sobs.She leaned against the door panel weakly, crying bitterly.She really didn't know what to do. Before, she could discuss with Zhu Xueliang, but now she was alone.

When Zhu Jindong returned to the apartment, Chen Wu had already prepared lunch and was sitting at the dining table waiting for Zhu Jindong.When seeing Zhu Jindong come back, Chen Wu smiled at him: "You're back, brother Jindong."

Zhu Jindong frowned fiercely: "Why are you getting up? Didn't I leave you a message asking you to sleep a little longer?"

Chen Wu shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm not tired. I think we should have a chat earlier. Did you go home in the morning? How is Aunt Zhou? Is her complexion any better?"

Zhu Jindong sat down and said: "She is not in a very good condition. I have thought about it. I should not talk to her again recently. My mother is a stubborn person, and her views will basically not change. However, I will not talk to her. Compromise, I will bear everything. Chen Wu, what I need you to do, just give me a promise, don't leave me."

A long silence followed.Chen Wu clasped the seat tightly with his palms, and in the end he couldn't give Zhu Jindong the promise he wanted.

There was a balance in Chen Wu's heart. In the past, Zhu Jindong was at one end of the balance, and Zhu Pengpeng was at the other end. Zhu Pengpeng's opposition alone was not enough to counter Zhu Jindong's position in his heart.But now with the addition of Zhou Youwei and Zhu's An Ning, the situation is different.

One cannot be too greedy, not everything one wants can be obtained, and often one needs to give up something.For example, when making a choice between love and family, people who think that true love is supreme will choose love regardless of everything, but Chen Wu is different. He was born in a deformed family since he was a child, and he yearns for a happy and harmonious family more than ordinary people.The family life of the Zhu family was what he envied and longed for, and it was also what he wanted to protect. How could he bear to destroy its peace because of himself, let alone the Zhu family's great kindness in nurturing him.Although he really likes Zhu Jindong in his heart and is grateful to Zhu Jindong, how can he choose love regardless of everything?

Zhu Jindong stood up sullenly, and looked down at Chen Wu: "Is a promise so difficult? Is it always my wishful thinking?"

Chen Wu shook his head and said, "It's not your wishful thinking! I like you very much too, but it's really hard for me to make a promise. I don't want to promise what I can't do. I'm sorry, Brother Jindong, I really don't know what to do now. What to do."

Zhu Jindong was silent for a while, and finally said: "Remember, I never agree with breaking up. In this life, the next life and the next life, you can only be with me, and you have no other choice!"

In the evening, the heat of the summer finally receded a bit. Kang Lanxin pushed Kang Yu for a walk in the small garden. When she reached a place where there was no one, she said happily: "Mom, do you know? Revenge, now the whole Zhu family is in chaos, everyone is suffering, I also let them taste the feeling of being abandoned at the beginning, are you happy?"

Kang Yu muttered something in his mouth, then went crazy again, and said with a panicked face: "Go away! You all get out of here! I am Zhu Xueliang's woman!"

Kang Lan waited for Kang Yu to go crazy, held her hand and continued, "It's just that we may not be able to stay in the capital any longer. How about I take you to live abroad? I heard that country A is very good, with a pleasant climate, suitable for Elderly, let's set off next month."

……

It was half a month after Zhu Xueliang came back from a business trip. As soon as he got home, he keenly discovered the undercurrents hidden under the quiet surface.In fact, he vaguely noticed the difference when he was out of town, because his beloved wife never even called him.

He was the first to notice that Zhu Pengpeng's state was not right. When he asked Zhou Youwei, Zhou Youwei's attitude was also very strange.He didn't show it, but asked someone to check the latest things in private.

Zhu Xueliang's methods were much stronger than Zhou Youwei's, and he soon knew that so many ridiculous things happened in a month.This always personable superior has never been so angry.He never thought that decades ago, because of a little sympathy for the tutor, it would bring such a disaster to today's family.

Kang Yu was his tutor when he was a student. If these things hadn't happened, he wouldn't even be able to remember Kang Yu's name.In my impression, Kang Yu just tutored him in English for a summer vacation, and after that, he had nothing to do with it.

Zhu Xueliang also saw the photos Kang Lanxin sent to Zhou Youwei.Leaving aside the matter of a pair of children, the photo of him and Kang Yu almost made him laugh out loud.In the photo of holding Kang Yu's hand, Zhu Xueliang guessed that he must have dreamed of Zhou Youwei at that time, and took her as Zhou Youwei and held her hand.

At that time, he and Zhou Youwei were not together yet, he just admired that lively and bright girl from the Zhou family, and saw her in his dream, how could he not be happy?

As for the photo of him supporting the pregnant Kang Yu, he still has a little impression.It was Kang Yu who came to him suddenly with a big belly. At that time, Kang Yu was in a very bad state, talking nonsense, mentally confused, and almost fell down. He helped the pregnant woman and gave the poor-looking woman A sum of money for the tutor, I hope she will not be so distressed after giving birth.

It never occurred to him that it was just a small act of kindness that would be used as evidence of his cheating?In fact, Kang Yu's child was conceived after she was raped on the road, and it was impossible to find out who the biological father was.Zhu Xueliang has never suffered such a loss in his age.

He watched his first wife haggard visibly with the naked eye, but refused to confide in him. It was the first time he had tasted the feeling of frustration in middle age.He sat down and chatted with Zhou Youwei openly and honestly, explained the matter of the photos clearly, and asked the housekeeper who had served at home for most of his life to testify that Kang Yu was just his tutor for a summer vacation, other than that, they had no relationship at all.

After listening to the explanation, Zhou Youwei relaxed, lying in Zhu Xueliang's arms and crying for a long time.

Zhu Xueliang has been gently comforting her, filled with emotion.Because of his career, he neglected too many things, his wife and his children.After Zhou Youwei's mood stabilized, he asked about Zhu Pengpeng's condition.

As soon as Zhu Pengpeng was mentioned, this always strong woman wiped her tears again, because Zhu Pengpeng's condition was very bad, and the top domestic psychiatrists found several, and after communicating with Zhu Pengpeng, they all found it difficult.

"Brother Liang, the doctor said that Pengpeng may have been mentally ill since she was a child. She is not healthy and precocious, and we are all busy, so we don't take enough care of her. The emptiness in her heart will have a great impact on the teacher who accompanied her the most. Reliance. But Kang Lanxin is that kind of person. She has been instilling wrong thoughts in Fanpeng for more than ten years, and she has always believed in her. But now her personality has collapsed, and Pengpeng's belief And dependence has also disappeared, so this is the current state, what should we do? Seeing Pengpeng's state, I haven't slept well for a long time."

Zhu Xueliang patted Zhou Youwei on the back, comforted her and said: "It's okay, I'm still here at home. I'll find a friend and consult with a foreign doctor to see if there is any solution. I will also go to see Pengpeng later. Do you want I believe that our children are all excellent and will not be easily defeated."

As soon as this was mentioned, Zhou Youwei's expression turned ugly: "Do you know what happened to your son and Chen Wu? I had a fight with him before, and he hasn't come home yet. Pengpeng is not in a good state. In the past half a month, I almost collapsed!"

Zhu Xueliang said again: "I know what happened between him and Chen Wu, I will talk to him, you go to rest for a while now, if you work hard, you will become a yellow-faced woman!"

Only then did Zhou Youwei burst into laughter: "I'm not working hard for this family! But no matter how you talk to him, separating from Chen Wu is my bottom line."

Zhu Xueliang quickly called Zhu Jindong back.

In just one month, his son, who has always been upright and upright, also looks a bit haggard. It seems that there are also unresolvable conflicts between him and Chen Wu.

Zhu Xueliang said straight to the point: "I know about the matter between you and Chen Wu. This matter itself is right or wrong, and I don't think there is any need to discuss it. Let's talk about your mother first. Your mother is a very controlling person. She is the youngest daughter of the Zhou family. She was doted on by her elders and brothers since she was a child, and she was a little arrogant. I spent a lot of energy in pursuing her. After marriage, I listened to her in small matters and was satisfied. Her desire to control is how husband and wife get along. But when it comes to big things, she never tries to control me. Do you know why?

Zhu Jindong was silent and didn't answer.

"When a person is far beyond the scope of your control, you will not have the idea to control him. Furthermore, when you are strong enough, he will submit to you. Conquering a strong person requires more than He is stronger. You are under the control of others now, just because you are not strong enough. If you have the capital to compete with us now, you will not be as passive and distressed as you are now."

"Your mother told me that she has gone through the transfer procedures for you. It is true that she did something wrong. She said she would reflect on it. But now that the procedures have been completed, I think you might as well take this opportunity to study abroad , Enrich yourself. Only when you are full-fledged, will you have the capital to be your own master. There has never been absolute freedom in the world, and you can’t do whatever you want. I hope you can understand this.”

"Let's talk about you and Chen Wu. I think I'm quite open-minded. I watched Chen Wu grow up. He's a good boy. I don't object to you being with him, but I I think it is impossible for you to have any results together now. As a person who has experienced it, I have some advice to tell you. Love is never a matter of two people, let alone a matter of one person, but a matter of two families. You young people It is sometimes naive to think that the universe will last forever."

"Now our family is suffering from a huge crisis. Maybe you don't know it yet. Your sister has serious psychological problems because of Kang Lanxin. Your mother firmly disagrees with you and Chen Wu. I have nothing to do with this matter. I have to find a way to communicate with her. I have to admit that your mother and I have an unshirkable responsibility for the matter of Peng Peng. I have also seriously reflected on it and plan to retire early and spend more time with you in the future. In a deadlock, one person must make a sacrifice to resolve it, and as the eldest son of the Zhu family, I hope this person is you. I hope you can shoulder your responsibilities and continue the glory of our family."

"If you really can't figure it out, you can think about it from Chen Wu's point of view. You stay with him regardless of your family's objections, and your family has been kind to him in nurturing him. Would such a kind child like him blame himself? , will you feel guilty? You can still enjoy the beauty of love together without any grievances, do you think it is possible?"

"But, I can't let him go. How can I let him go abroad if he stays in China?" Zhu Jindong roared in pain.

"There is nothing to let go. Chen Wu is probably much stronger than you imagined. He suffered such inhuman treatment when he was a child, but he grew up healthy and safe, and even maintained a sincere heart. I don't think this matter Things will bring him down, but you are too extreme. I don’t know if you have thought about it, Chen Wu is very sensitive, and he always feels very reserved when he is in our house. If he doesn’t leave Zhu’s house for a day, he may We all regard ourselves as an appendage of our family, and it is difficult to grow up and become a truly independent individual. I think you might as well let him grow up alone, and when your relationship is more equal in the future, maybe you can reap a more indestructible relationship Feelings. If the two feelings last for a long time, how can they be in the day and night. What our ancestors said, if you look at it carefully, it is really reasonable, I hope you will think about it for yourself. "

Zhu Jindong finally said calmly: "Okay, I will think about it."

After Zhu Jindong left Zhu's house, he drove around the capital several times. His mind was in a mess and he was suffering from the greatest torture in more than 20 years.When he finally drove the car under the apartment without knowing it, Zhu Jindong stood under the streetlight for almost an hour.

At three o'clock in the morning, everything was silent.There was only one house with lights on in the entire apartment, and it was his and Chen Wu's small house.He had to admit that his father was right about one thing. Chen Wu had a natural restraint towards their Zhu family members. Like when he was a child, no matter what Chen Wu did, he had to look at the faces of Zhu family members, because he knew he was not I wish home real children.

Like now, Chen Wu must not have slept, leaving the light on for him.This is not to say that Chen Wu loves him so much, but that he is used to dedicating and giving to Zhu's family.Even if it wasn't him today, but his mother, his father, or even his sister, Chen Wu would still wait for him, he was a heart-rendingly well-behaved and sensible person.

Perhaps, it is the most correct choice to really let go and let him grow up.

Zhu Jindong suppressed the pain in his heart, and went upstairs with heavy steps.As soon as the door was opened, Chen Wu was still awake, sitting on the sofa and waiting quietly.Zhu Jindong stepped forward and hugged Chen Wu tightly: "Chen Wu, you must never forget me. Even if you leave Zhu's family, you can't forget me. We are going to grow old together."

Chen Wu understood the meaning of Zhu Jindong's words, and he hugged Zhu Jindong's waist back: "I will never forget you, Brother Jindong."

Over the years, it was Zhu Jindong who gave him his first sense of security, and he will never forget that sense of solidity that he can rely on after being injured.

It’s just that the more than ten years in Zhujia is like a big dream.When the time comes, the dream will naturally wake up

To this day, Chen Wu is still grateful to the Zhu family.It is no exaggeration to say that it was the Zhu family who gave Chen Wu a new life, let him eat well and wear clothes, and go to Jinlan to study, instead of letting him stay in the village in the city to continue starving and beating.During that dark period, Chen Wu sometimes thought that he might die in a small corner where no one knew about it on a cold winter night. After the heavy snow melted, it would gradually rot, and no one would know that he was dead. No one will shed a tear for his death.

Who would have thought that a deformed child born in a village in the city would have the opportunity to enjoy more than ten years of glory and wealth and a sweet relationship? Who would have thought that these beautiful things are like a short-lived haze. Dissipated like smoke.

Under the push of fate, life is often a torrent that cannot be resisted, and the only way to struggle is to obey.
