Looking at the bright moon

The Ruan family is considered one of the largest big families in Shanghai and Qing Dynasty, but the younger generation is even rarer than the Wen family.Ruan Hejiang had married two wives in total. The first one was a marriage arranged by his father when he was young. Because it was not a choice of his own, the two of them got along very badly.His first wife gave birth to a boy, but the child suffered from a serious illness when he was young, and his mind was damaged as a result, so that he still behaved like a seven or eight-year-old child when he grew up.The existence of this child aggravated the conflict between the husband and wife, causing Ruan Hejiang's wife to find a lawyer and go to court in middle age, resolutely wanting to divorce him.Ling Yi was born to Ruan Hejiang's second wife. He was born lively and healthy. The second wife and Ruan Hejiang were in free love. Therefore, the family life he experienced was happier than ordinary people.Since him, Ruan Hejiang has no other children. There is no doubt that Ling Yi will be the new head of the Ruan family on the day when Ruan Hejiang washes his hands in the golden basin.

So Ruan Hejiang just got the news that Aizi was arrested by the Wen family, and immediately called, willing to pay any price in exchange for Lingyi.Early this morning, Ruan Hejiang, who had traveled all the way, visited Longyuan. After the two met, Ruan Hejiang was anxious to find his son, and soon left with Xu Hancheng, not even noticing He Lingshan standing behind.On the contrary, Jing Yuan stayed, and the other party still looked at him leaning on the window sill with his hands in the pockets of his trousers as they did when they first met.But when He Lingshan cast his gaze over, Jing Yuan turned his head away instead, staring out the window, as if avoiding something.

Compared to a few years ago, Jing Yuan is much thinner, because of his tall stature, he looks even thinner.At this moment, the relationship between the two of them is far from being summed up in the usual words of "relatives". Seeing that He Lingshan hadn't spoken for a long time, Jing Yuan smiled, still looking out the window and said: "Time flies so fast." , Shenghuan, now you look like an adult."

He Lingshan didn't answer, and when he saw Jing Yuan's face, he couldn't help but think of the bullet that almost killed Wen Mingyu, and those days and nights when Wen Mingyu lay in the hospital with a bloodless face.Even if he now fully understands the grievances and grievances of the previous generation and Jingyuan's difficulties, he still cannot forgive.At first, he didn't agree to come to see Jingyuan alone, but Wen Mingyu took advantage of his dual identities as an elder and a lover, to play hard and soft, and finally made him agree to this request.Jing Yuan also seemed to see his reluctance, and sighed: "You don't need to hate me too much, this must be the last time we meet."

He Lingshan glanced at the other person, thinking that even if this was the last time they saw each other, this person might not have too many regrets.But after all, he is not such a mean person, he didn't say this, he just said: "You also know that the purpose of our meeting today is not to reminisce about the old days."

Jing Yuan is still indifferent: "I know." After finishing speaking, he was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that your father would still persuade you to come to see me at this time, what did he have to tell you? , do you want to convey it on your behalf?"

This was what he said. Before meeting Ruan Hejiang, Wen Mingyu had indeed sent a letter to He Lingshan, ordering him to send it to Jingyuan.He Lingshan also asked about the content of the letter, but Wen Mingyu just smiled and refused to tell him.So he suspected that what was written in the letter was the treatment of Jing Yuan, perhaps because it was too cruel to judge a person's life and death face to face, Wen Mingyu was willing to preserve Jing Yuan's last bit of decency, so he adopted a written form.

But in the final analysis, Jing Yuan is his uncle, although the two have no friendship, the kinship cannot be faked.Letting his nephew personally pronounce the death sentence on his uncle is not something Wen Mingyu would do.

Could it be...Wen Mingyu didn't want Jing Yuan's life?

This was something He Lingshan never expected, he stared at Jingyuan with a little surprise on his face.Jing Yuan didn't understand, so he turned his body and said, "Then, what else does Wen Mingyu want to say to me?"

The previous guess made He Lingshan's heart flustered, and he didn't bother to answer. He just took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to the other party in a daze.Jing Yuan took it, but he looked very careless, his eyes swept over the envelope, and there was nothing on it.He couldn't help laughing and said, "What charades?" He tore open the paper envelope and took out the letter inside.

It was a very elegant letterhead with prints on it, but it seemed to be quite old, the color of the flowers was no longer bright, and the dark ink had faded to a light blue.After reading the first line, the indifferent smile quickly sank from the corner of Jing Yuan's mouth. Instead of reading the letter, he raised his eyes and took a deep look at He Lingshan.

He Lingshan had never seen such a helpless expression on this person's face, as if he had completely lost his mind and was asking himself for help.He clenched his fingers unnaturally, and just about to ask a question, Jingyuan turned his back, holding the letter paper and said, "Shenghuan... please leave me here alone for now, I don't want to be in front of others." look at it."

He could vaguely guess who wrote the letter, so he nodded and retreated from the guest room, leaving Jingyuan alone by the window.The bright sunlight shone on the letter paper, Jing Yuan raised his hand to block it, but a few drops of water dripped from his chin, blurring the old handwriting with a bang.

Jing Yuan scolded himself hastily, raised his head, covered his eyes with the other hand, and took several deep breaths before he could read the rest of the content.It was something that could never have been dreamed of... Bihe left him a letter, which had been shelved in Wen Mingyu's hands for 18 years, and it finally appeared in front of her.The content of the letter is very ordinary, there is no sorrow of life and death, and no unwillingness to fail.Bihe is describing some small things that happened around him recently, which is the same as the other letters he wrote to Jingyuan in the past.Relying on every word on the paper, the person who had passed away for a long time slowly came alive before Jing Yuan's eyes. Jing Yuan could almost imagine the tone of these words from Bihe's mouth, his demeanor, and every time he wrote the letter. a small gesture.

After reading a few lines, the beautiful and neat handwriting on the paper trembled and blurred into a ball.Jing Yuan wiped his eyes with his palm, pressed the letter paper to his heart, and looked at Dai Qing's gloomy sky.He really wanted to know what Bihe had left for him, but he was afraid that he would read the letter too early. This letter was like a brief meeting with Bihe 18 years ago. A farewell.

At the end of the letter, Bihe wrote: "May you respect Lingde and love Jingguang at any time." Jingyuan thought, Bihe could not be more clear about who he is. The first half of the sentence is probably Bihe's ridicule, and the second half That sentence is what he really wants to say to him.It's a pity that it was too late, I had already spent 18 years in suffering, and for the rest of the year, Jing Yuan didn't have the strength to sustain it anymore.

He Lingshan waited outside the door for a long time, so long that Uncle Xu, who was guarding outside, couldn't stand it anymore, so he moved a chair for him.He Lingshan sat down, and still couldn't help telling Xu Shuhe: "I don't know how my father and the two Mr. Ruan are talking, go and see."

Unexpectedly, not long after Xu Shuhe left, Jing Yuan pushed open the door, stopped in front of him, and smiled apologetically.

The other party's red eye sockets were too conspicuous, He Lingshan's eyes stayed on them for a moment, and then quickly moved away.Jingyuan didn't shy away from it, and pressed the corners of his eyes and said: "I am really an incompetent uncle. Not only did I fail to fulfill my responsibilities as an elder, but I also made a joke in front of my nephew. Maybe your father gave me this letter, That's the idea."

He Lingshan ignored his joke and just looked up at him silently.Jing Yuan put his hands in his pockets, leaned against the door frame, and sighed, "Sheng Huan, you are such an unlucky child."

Seeing He Lingshan frowning, Jingyuan's expression became serious: "Your mother doesn't love you, your father doesn't want you, and even your uncle wants to plot against you. Why did you live before the age of 16?"

Without waiting for anyone to answer, he raised his head, as if asking and answering himself: "I know, before the age of 16, to live is to live. Eat, sleep, breathe, no matter what happens, the next day will always come. Even if it is The sky is falling, as long as you don't kill yourself, you still have to bite the bullet and continue to live."

He Lingshan had gradually forgotten the years of growing up in Chunhua Lane, but after he mentioned it, those past events flowed through his mind very clearly like a movie he just watched.What Jing Yuan said was right at all, what supported him through those days was entirely the survival instinct of a human being as an animal.Even if there is no love and you are suffering day by day, you still have to eat and breathe, no matter how painful it is, day by day always passes like this.

Then he met Wen Mingyu at the age of 16, and his heart throbbed with love for the first time, and only then did he realize that life is not just mechanical breathing and eating.He is like a barren land that has finally been cast with seeds, everything is growing vigorously, and it becomes chaotic everywhere, but the chaos is also a chaotic phenomenon that contains vitality.

If Wen Bihe was to Jingyuan what Wen Mingyu was to him, then it would be unimaginable for Jingyuan to feel the despair of losing his sweetheart.

He Lingshan pursed his dry lips, and said in a deep voice, "Even if you tell me that, I will not allow you to threaten my father again."

Unexpectedly, Jing Yuan shook his head and sighed: "Forget it."

His voice was very soft, but He Lingshan heard it clearly, and was surprised for a moment: "What's the matter?"

"Since your father arranged for you and me to meet today, it means that he doesn't intend to care about the past with me any more." Jing Yuan looked at him with an unprecedented helplessness: "A person like him who must take revenge, I'm really impressed that I'm willing to back down to such an extent for you. Now that I'm your defeated general, I can only accept my fate, and treat it as your elder, the only thing I can do for you."

Facing He Lingshan's surprised gaze, Jingyuan hesitated for a moment, then put his hand on his shoulder and patted him: "I apologize to you for what I did before. Shenghuan, I hope you will never have such a bad thing in the future." Encountered."
