Chu Lingyun was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking out the window with some erratic eyes.At this time, he was a little disturbed. A weird and absurd wedding broke up unhappy, and then he received a questioning call from Xia Zuoyang that touched the depths of his soul. Even the countless important decisions he had experienced in business , and it didn't make him feel so bad at this time.

Just sitting for a long time, still can't relieve his chaotic emotions.

Finally, Chu Lingyun stood up, walked to a cabinet inside the living room, and took out a box of cigarettes that had been stored for a long time.

In fact, 15 years ago, he had quit smoking.The box of cigarettes stored in the drawer was originally prepared for possible guests.

But today, he suddenly had an urge to take another sip.

A little unfamiliar tore off the outer packaging, took out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth.After igniting the lighter, he hesitated for a moment, but just as he was about to light it, the phone rang.

Putting the cigarette in his hand on the table, Chu Lingyun connected the phone.

"Ling Yun, where are you?" Hu Yueqiu's concerned voice came from there.

"I'm in my apartment."

After a few simple greetings, Hu Yueqiu on the other end of the phone fell into a short silence.

After a while, Hu Yueqiu changed the subject.

"Ling Yun, I know that your heart is in a mess right now. Mom can understand your mood at the moment, but running away is not the way to go. You have to face what you have to face. It is your responsibility, and you will have to take it on sooner or later."

Hu Yueqiu had no intention of putting too much pressure on her son, but after all, the palms and backs of her hands were full of flesh, one side was her own son, and the other side was her own grandson, so she couldn't be too partial.

"I know, Mom, you don't have to worry."

"Calm down a little bit first. When you figure it out, you still have to come back and sit down. Our family can discuss what to do, okay?"

Hu Yueqiu knew how much pressure her son was under at the moment, so she hung up the phone without saying anything more.

Putting down the phone, Chu Lingyun picked up the unlit cigarette on the table again, put it in his mouth, lit it, and sucked hard.

In a burst of smoke, he seemed to see himself 15 years ago.

Young and vigorous, bohemian, perhaps this is his truest portrayal.

Hu Yueqiu and Chu Jianwen are not the kind of parents who pamper their children, but the rebellious nature of young people like Chu Lingyun has never been able to be suppressed by the two of them.

And at that time, Xia Zuoyang, who had the same personality as him, naturally became her best friend.

In school, the two of them never took the initiative to bully the weak, but they never watched the weak being bullied.At that time, they never thought about their future in their hearts. They just wanted to live in the present and live out the splendor of young people.The same belief brought two boys from very different backgrounds together, and their common hobbies made their relationship as close as brothers.

Because of the so-called sense of justice in their hearts, they have beaten others and suffered from others.

It's not that Hu Yueqiu had never been disciplined, but at that time, no matter what his mother and father said, Chu Lingyun still went his own way and never thought of changing.

At that time, Chu Guobei, who had made a name for himself in the business world of Fushi, also lost patience with his stubborn and unprogressive grandson.

Until one day, Hu Yanqiu received a call from the teacher from the school, saying that her son Chu Lingyun did not come to class this afternoon.Hu Yueqiu felt uneasy after lunch, and Hu Yueqiu, whose eyelids were twitching, had inexplicably felt that something might happen. After receiving the call, the uneasiness in his heart escalated even more.

The mother who travels thousands of miles is worried that no matter how miserable her child is, how hopeless and promising she looks, no mother will ignore her child.

Just when Hu Yanqiu called Chu Jianwen to tell the news, and was about to go out to look for it in person, Chu Lingyun, who looked a little pale with a bewildered expression, came back alone.

No matter how Hu Yueqiu asked, Chu Lingyun kept his mouth shut and said nothing.

On the news the next day, it was reported that a 19-year-old high school student had killed a middle-aged man.And this high school student is Chu Lingyun's best friend, Xia Zuoyang.

Although no matter how Hu Yueqiu asked, Chu Lingyun kept silent about this matter, but Hu Yueqiu vaguely felt that this matter seemed to be somewhat related to his son.

It was precisely because of this incident that Chu Lingyun began to undergo tremendous changes. The first thing he did was to give up his studies. From the second day on, he refused to go to school again.

What worried the Chu family even more was that since then, the big boy who had been defiant, positive and cheerful, has become taciturn, stopped communicating with anyone, and was even unwilling to go out to face the sun.

In the end, under the instruction of the old man, Hu Yueqiu sent Chu Lingyun to country D through various relationships, wanting to give him a new environment and let him start over.

And it turns out that this approach does work.

In the past four years, Chu Lingyun's contact with his family has become more and more frequent, and the topics have become more and more positive, and people can even feel that he is becoming more and more mature.

But to the Chu family's surprise, just when he was about to return from his studies, Chu Lingyun's personality seemed to undergo another drastic change.

This time, Chu Lingyun became indifferent again, but this time he was taciturn, which was different from the last time, because when he returned to China, everyone around him could feel that this big boy seemed to have completed a transformation in his life. He has become more mature and stable, and it can be seen from his speech and demeanor that he wants to do something, think of something to prove himself.

As for his changes, nothing touched Chu Guobei the most. With his own talent and courage, Chu Guobei seemed to see the shadow of himself in his youth from this prodigal grandson who turned back.

He didn't ask why Chu Lingyun had such a change, but he knew that this child must have experienced something.

In the few months since Chu Guobei took him to work in the Chufeng Group, Chu Lingyun showed his amazing business acumen and execution ability, and then in just a few years, the Chufeng Department Store that he took over had great success. There have been earth-shaking changes.

Unknowingly, 15 years passed like this.

Thinking back now, Chu Lingyun didn't seem to figure out whether this was his own goal in life, or was it because he wanted to prove something, or was driven by some force to get to where he is today step by step.

Then there was the trip to country T seven years ago that I still haven't figured out what happened.

All of this, entangled in his mind, made him upset.

Unknowingly, Chu Lingyun suddenly felt a burning sensation in his fingers, and quickly dropped the cigarette butt in his hand. Only then did he realize that he had been absent-minded for too long, and a cigarette had already burned out unconsciously.

After blowing on the burnt fingers, Chu Lingyun put aside those disturbing thoughts, recalling what his mother Hu Yueqiu said just now, escaping is still not the way to go.

That woman, who is called the mother of her child, maybe I really should have a good talk with her.

The great-grandson of the Chu family, Chu Guobei, looked at the immature and lovely faces and his expectant and pleading expressions, and really couldn't think of a reason to reject them.

Looking at Su Xiaowan, he asked in a deep voice, "Since the children have expressed their requirements, I'm here to hear your thoughts."

From the first time she saw this old man with gray hair but still in good spirits, Su Xiaowan felt an involuntary feeling of awe.And today's sudden change made the relationship between the two even more complicated.

Hearing Chu Guobei's question, Su Xiaowan hesitated for a moment, then replied in a somewhat timid voice: "I have no problem, I'm just afraid of causing any inconvenience to you."

"There is no inconvenience. Since you agree, let's stay here and let Sister Zhang clean up a room for you. Let's talk about the rest slowly."

After finishing speaking, Chu Guobei seemed to suddenly think of something again, and added: "By the way, with your current situation, I am afraid that it would be inappropriate for you to be the chef at the end, so let Sister Zhang find another suitable one. Let's choose!"

"No, no, no." Su Xiaowan waved her hands again and again: "Master Chu, you don't have to be so polite. I'm clumsy, I don't have any higher education, and I don't have any skills. I don't know anything except cooking. Rather than letting me be idle and I have nothing to do, it would be better to let me continue to do the kitchen work."

Chu Guobei pondered for a while, then nodded: "Alright, you are also familiar with the eating habits of the children, and you will take care of them. There is nothing to worry about."

He waved to the people standing in the living room: "Okay, let's go back, today's business is over, don't talk nonsense when you go out."

After receiving the old man's order, everyone dispersed one after another.

In the living room of Nida, only Hu Yueqiu from the north of Chu State, Su Xiaowan, mother and son were left.

Yu Bo sat on Chu Guobei's body, gently kneaded his arm, and said tenderly, "Grandpa Zeng, thank you for keeping mom here."

This wave of massage had already benefited Chu Guobei very much, but a sensible word from the little guy wiped away all the displeasure accumulated in the old man's heart today.

"Then when you are free, spend more time with Grandpa Zeng, and consider it a thank you gift." "Okay!"

Xiaobei and Yu Tao saw that their elder brother was giving Grandpa Zeng a massage thoughtfully, and they did not want to be too lazy, so they pressed the old man's legs from left to right.

Chu Guobei narrowed his eyes comfortably, but suddenly asked Su Xiaowan: "Did you suffer all these years?"
