Sapphire case

25.

The room was suddenly silent.

Jiang Xu turned around and closed the door, first politely nodded at Gu Yang and the other two, and said, "Can you find a place to sit downstairs?"

Gu Sheng closed his book and left. Jiang Cheng wanted to drag him but before he caught him, Jiang Xu rushed up and pushed his hand back into the curtain.Jiang Xu didn't know if he had an injury on his leg, so he leaned on his knee and said in a low voice, "Don't be presumptuous!"

"Who is so fucking presumptuous!" Jiang Cheng broke free from his restraint, elbowed him on the shoulder with his backhand, and cursed with red eyes, "I sent a few waves of people to Jiangnan to touch you, and there is no news of life or death. You are so good, you turned your back and defected to the Revolutionary Party? Renamed Wen Er? Fuck! You have no heart, cooperating with Lao Tzu is being played by you, right?!"

He scolded his mother like a common man in the market, and regardless of the age of the target, he was all vulgar and ugly, making people want to take his chin off and shoot him in - Gu Sheng hated this so much that he gritted his teeth, during those ten years However, his violent habits cannot be changed overnight.

Jiang Xu looked at him, frowned and dragged a chair to sit down. Seeing that Jiang Cheng's hand was still on his thigh, he raised his chin at him and let out a sigh of relief: "... How are your legs?"

"It's not broken!" Jiang Cheng said angrily, paused, and then said: "Hey, are you serious? You tell me the truth, this is no joke!"

The relationship between him and Jiang Xu is very contradictory. One is that Song Shuzhen always favored the eldest son who was born in the early years. So many identities lie there; the second is that Jiang Cheng had a good time with his elder brother when he was still naive, but when they grow up, the two walk on very different paths, and they have their own interest groups, the relationship is inevitably alienated, and the brotherhood in childhood But it cannot be said that there is not at all.

Song Shuzhen tried her best to support Jiang Xu to the top position, and sent Jiang Cheng overseas with excuses. Jiang Cheng basically recognized it. Anyway, Jiang Xu was raised as a prince since he was a child. The only way for him to get ahead is to start anew.

However, just when he was already doing well abroad, Jiang Xu disappeared here. Jiang Zhiya's plane landed at the airport fifty miles outside his home overnight. The big man directly fished him out of the tavern, handcuffed him into the cockpit, and held Jiang Cheng in front of his father in less than 24 hours.

The moment Jiang Cheng woke up and found himself lying in the lobby of his ancestral house, he really wanted to kill Jiang Xu and drag the whole family out to kill him.

What is this taking him for?

The fuck is using him as toilet paper!If you want to use it, throw it away!

Jiang Cheng had gone berserk at that time, and the Jiang family mansion had no one within a radius of ten miles for two days, and it was filled with the smell of chickens and eggs beating you to death. A scream amidst the endless autumn rain: "Jiang Cheng! Do you know who gave you everything you have now!!"

That sound was like the rare torrential rain that day, when a basin of cold water poured down his head, Jiang Chengsha, who was about to leave after throwing up the table and smashing the house, slammed the door, stopped silently, his red eyes raised heavily from under the browbones , looked coldly at the woman with disheveled hair.

Song Shuzhen pointed at him and sneered: "You guys with the surname Jiang are heartless! You are all white-eyed wolves! Jiang Cheng, do you think what you have now is what you should have? Let me tell you, without your aunt I would , your old man is now a bum who is thieving and stealing along the southeast coast! Are you taking Joe with me?..."

"Shuzhen!" Jiang Zhiya snapped.

His majestic and majestic voice stunned Jiang Cheng. Song Shuzhen trembled violently, grinned, and turned her head while supporting half of her fallen bun. "Oh... okay, you... Jiang Zhiya, I've been with you all these years and I still don't know what you are? You're just using me! You just want the Song family to help you lead the army before you marry me!" Me! Do you care about me? Do you care about your own son? You just like those wild women outside! You like the wild seeds they lay..."

"Stop talking! Ladies, what does it look like to say this!" Jiang Zhiya frowned, as if he was extremely disgusted by her words, and waved to the old woman who was waiting carefully beside Jiang Cheng, "Come here! Help the eldest lady go Freshen up!"

The two women trotted over quickly, but Song Shuzhen opened it directly. Song Shuzhen looked directly at Jiang Zhiya and shouted angrily: "You all get out of here! - You won't let me tell now? What have you done that you don't know?" Points? Okay, my Song family is in decline now, and I don’t have time to point out you to enjoy meals! Zheng’er is not here for a day or two, and you are in a hurry to find someone else to take charge? Let me tell you. , I can’t come back right now, I’m not finished with you, auntie!”

She wiped her face with a handkerchief vigorously, glanced at Jiang Cheng with hatred, and then smiled sinisterly at Jiang Zhiya: "...I'll shake off all the things about you in the past, and see what the ruined man is alluding to who is it!"

"What am I doing, it's not for you!" Jiang Zhiya glared at the two wives left and right, "What are you doing in a daze? Send the wife back to the room! No one is allowed to reveal a word about today's affairs!"

Song Shuzhen's pungentness is the one among the noble wives in Jinzhou who only claims to be the second and does not dare to be the first. The reason is that the Song family of her generation is thin, and there is only such a young daughter in the main house, and the top four or five are from the concubines. Brother, she grew up being pampered in all kinds of ways since she was a child. No one in the family said she was wrong, and she could do everything according to her temperament.

Even when she married Jiang Zhiya back then, she insisted on going her own way, and the Song family had to make a compromise.

If there is no such layer, it is hard to say whether Jiang Zhiya will be able to take root in Jinzhou even if he is involved in this marriage.

However, the price for this is that even if Jiang Zhiya is not an intruder, and later gradually gained momentum and completely got rid of the control of the Song family, and even after many industries of the Song family still need to be attached to the Jiang family, Song Shuzhen can still show her face in front of Jiang Zhiya, Jiang Zhiya just couldn't touch her.

Friends who are poor and humble will never forget each other, and wives who are poor will never go to court.

What's more, Jiang Zhiya still has an indelible handle in Song's hands for the rest of his life.

Jiang Zhiya called Jiang Cheng to come to him.

Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment, then stood still in front of him.

At that time, his complexion was very bad, with the haggardness of a hangover and the resentment that had not faded, the look of a trapped animal shrouded the resolute face.He was still wearing casual clothes abroad, with trousers wrapped around his tight thighs and military boots, his stretched deltoid muscles fully supported the shoulders of his jacket, and his flat shoulders made him even stronger and taller than before going abroad.

Jiang Zhiya slowly looked at this young man with a fierce look like a beast. He had sons in his middle age. No matter how Song Shuzhen looked at them, these two sons were extremely precious to him.

"Don't listen to her, I won't treat you badly." After a long time, Jiang Zhiya opened his mouth.

Jiang Cheng followed his gaze to the corridor, and said in a low voice, "She's right."

Jiang Zhiya looked at him with a frown.

"I'll spread the news tonight, and I'll just say you're going back to China tomorrow." Jiang Zhiya took a sip of the half-cold tea beside him, and said to Jiang Cheng, "You'll be resting at home for two days, and I'll ask someone to help you. You hold a reception banquet to congratulate you on returning to China after completing your studies. All Jizheng’s original confidantes are called over, find some names and get together more, you watch and talk, and everyone gets acquainted with each other, you know?”

"Yeah," Jiang Cheng said, turning around to leave.

"Oh, what's more," Jiang Zhiya stopped him again, "Ask a few cronies to lead people south to search, and the noise should be quieter. No matter how you say it, he is your elder brother. If he doesn't leave, you still don't know where you are. "

It can be said that Jiang Cheng was inattentive in finding someone.No matter whether he wants to secure the crown prince's position or not, Jiang Xu will always be a bomb that can blow people to pieces at any time.

But Jiang Xu seemed to have disappeared among the [-] million Chinese creatures. The news from his cronies in the south every few days became a heart disease that made his life never peaceful. Song Shuzhen was always ready to make him ugly.

Jiang Cheng has no idea about this, he lives by himself abroad, basically ignores domestic affairs, Jiang Xu's disappearance was only found out when he was kidnapped back to Jiang's house, and there is basically no leak to the outside world, there is no way to find out .

Only Jiang Zhiya put Jiang Xu's letters and two books full of annotations in front of Jiang Cheng, saying that Jiang Xu had always been in close contact with a professor surnamed Zhou of the United University, and it was very likely that he was too deeply influenced by the new trend. , So much so that he rebelled against his family business and defected to the enemy for glory.

Compared with Jiang Cheng, Jiang Xu is a complete scholar.That's how it was when I was young.

Gentle, refined, gentle and peaceful, regardless of his background, it is very likely that he will be regarded as a new type of intellectual. Apart from the usual management and handling of things, he prefers literature and art.Jiang Cheng knew this all along. When he was jumping up and down in his teens and refused to live in peace, it was Jiang Xu who watched him and forced him to read the books.But Jiang Xu would be so affected by the new trend of thought, Jiang Cheng was a little afraid to think about it.

However, he had seen those unsent letters and notes, which were clearly written by Jiang Xu himself, and the meaning revealed in them, after careful consideration, seemed to be the possibility.

But in general, Jiang Cheng was still a little skeptical, until this day, in the Youth Student Club, he saw with his own eyes the "Wen Er" they were talking about.

Jiang Xu let out his breath slowly, and pressed his back against the opposite wall.

The meaning of his silence was already obvious, Jiang Cheng suddenly became a little anxious, and raised his hand to him: "Give me a cigarette."

Jiang Xu looked at him, opened the drawer of the cabinet next to him, groped inside, took out a bag and threw it to him: "When are you leaving? I know where the support from Xunzhou is, and I can tell you."

Jiang Cheng lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep breath, held the cigarette in his right hand and hung it on his knee, smacked his lips, raised his head and exhaled circles of smoke, turned his eyes sideways through the white mist, and waited for the smoke to disappear. When it was all gone, he gritted his teeth and turned his eyes, and squeezed his dry lips hard: "Have you made up your mind? Are you not going back?"

Jiang Xu leaned his head against the wall and looked at him calmly.

Jiang Cheng felt that there was a bundle of firewood in his heart all the time, and it started to burn inexplicably. The smoke was so hot that it was stuffy and hot, and his throat was so hot that he couldn't speak.

"Why?" Jiang Cheng asked, taking another drag on his cigarette.

"I found that this world is not what we think it is." Jiang Xu straightened his collar, got up and walked to the small window on the innermost side, and the bright white light came in, "So I chose what I think is the right path. "

"Correct, your mother..." Jiang Cheng twirled the butt of his cigarette on the table, turned around and cursed, "Oh! You're done with a fucking sentence of 'I think what I'm doing is progress'? Give up, The revolution has gone? Who the hell is going to kill? You are a shopkeeper and you feel that you are very reasonable. What about me? I leave all the mess under your hands to me to wipe your ass? Damn, what happened to you Is it that easy?"

Anxiously, he opened the box again and smoked a cigarette, then "snapped" the fire.

"I didn't leave you a mess, and you don't need to wipe your ass." Jiang Xu turned around and said coldly, "I know you have resentment against me, but I also know you want that position, so I'll give it to you. "

"You know what a fart!" Jiang Cheng said, "Don't be self-righteous, can you? ——Okay, I won't argue with you about this, what are you going to do, I can't control you, and I'm afraid you can't treat you. Jiang Zhiya has cleaned up Shen Yao and will probably go all the way to the south, so you can do it yourself!"

"Of course." Jiang Xu walked back, saw Jiang Cheng was about to smoke a third cigarette, went up and cut his beard, "Okay! Enough!"
