unexpected rain

From winter to spring, new green emerges from the bare branches, and the whole city is covered with a tender color, which looks reminiscent of new life and vitality.

In the spring, prominent real estate developers in Yong City will gather together to organize an exchange meeting. The bigwigs will explore each other's main projects for this year, and learn who is worthy of in-depth cooperation this year and who needs to be slightly suppressed.

The most talked about this year is that a super-large amusement park in the United States has been confirmed to be established in Yongshi, and it can be bid after the government approves the permit.The earliest is the end of the year, but there are not a few companies that have prepared early.

Naturally, Xiang Shifang was also among them. From morning to night, they traveled from the golf course to the private farmhouse in the suburbs, and finally returned to the big hotel in the city. Xiang Shifang was already tired.

The only super large amusement park project that he was interested in, although it was a theme, but no one wanted to reveal their hole cards, and they were all vain and devious. He never liked this kind of entertainment.He was the youngest here, and the old fritters came over to test him like a battle, and in the end he didn't even want to say a long sentence, showing his lack of interest on his face.

If it weren't for his Xiangshi's strong capital and several large projects in cooperation with the government, his attitude would be squeezed out, but the business world doesn't look at emotional intelligence, but at wallets. Whoever has money is a "friend".

Cheng Pingyi also participated in this gathering, which was an important way for him to communicate with Xiang Shifang. Although everyone present knew that Xiang Cheng was in the same boat, outside of the struggle between the two companies, they were more like father and son. Apparently, they are in the same group.It's not good for Xiang Shifang to be unhappy with Cheng Pingyi under the eyes of so many people, which gave Cheng Pingyi a chance to make progress.

So Cheng Pingyi can blatantly criticize Xiang Shifang's words and deeds, and call it his father's concern.This was what Xiang Shifang hated most about this gathering.

Evening was the home of the wine, Xiang Shifang drank two rounds, when those people were about to find a lady to entertain, Xiang Shifang decided to leave.

When he was going to the bathroom, he called Lin Ji and asked him to come pick him up.None of today's events are in line with his wishes, and the comfortable environment at this time is especially missed. He thought of Lin Ji without thinking.

On the phone, Lin Ji's voice calmed his impatience a little, "Okay, I'll go over now, wait for me for half an hour, don't drink too much."

Xiang Shifang said, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Xiang Shifang walked back to the box, but when he saw several young girls inside, he closed the door expressionlessly, and then walked to the balcony at the end of the corridor.

It's just that his solitary space was broken by another person not long after.

"No wonder I haven't seen you all this time, why are you here alone?" Cheng Pingyi walked up to Xiang Shifang and said.

Xiang Shifang frowned.He gave a perfunctory "hmm".

Even though his attitude was so obvious, Cheng Pingyi still didn't flinch, and his tone was even familiar, as if they were really a father and son who loved each other: "You still don't like the lively range, it's different from when I was young. Same."

He successfully aroused Xiang Shifang's reaction—a reaction that was provoked, "Who are you disgusting with?"

Cheng Pingyi also darkened his face, "Shifang, I found that you are good in everything, but you are very naive in some aspects. Don't you give me enough embarrassment today? You care about making trouble for you, and I will also treat her Send it abroad, what are you dissatisfied with?"

"Mr. Cheng." Xiang Shifang leaned back against the railing, with his arms bent over it, with a half-smile on his face, "It's been so many years, why haven't you learned to 'do the right thing at the right time'? You should When you defended me, you praised your daughter to the sky, and now Cheng Jiaoxin is the serious granddaughter of the Cheng family, and you are trying to curry favor with me, a foreigner, are you tired?"

This is the longest sentence that Xiang Shifang and Cheng Pingyi have said today, but it also embarrasses him the most.

"I have always regarded you as my son!" Cheng Pingyi raised his voice.

"No need, I haven't had a father since I was five years old, and I've been living a good life." Xiang Shifang said lightly.

Looking at him, Cheng Pingyi felt a deep sense of powerlessness, Xiang Shifang's heart was too weak, no matter how he made up for these years, he could not shake it.

Cheng Pingyi sighed and said: "I don't understand why you are so stubborn, it will be good for you to get along well with Mrs. Cheng, and the garden project mentioned just now is very likely to be a cooperation between our two families. Don't tell me you have to let me Can't I come down?"

Xiang Shifang sneered inexplicably, turned to face the balcony, and stopped talking to Cheng Pingyi.

In Cheng Pingyi's view, this is a manifestation of Xiang Shifang's willfulness-yes, even if Xiang Shifang clearly stated that he would step on the Cheng family and have no affiliation or respect for the Cheng family, he would take it as "trying hard to show that he is not as good as you are." The father is weak", presumably it was the idea instilled by his ex-wife.

Thinking of this, Cheng Pingyi felt a little guilty towards Xiang Shifang, but no matter how hard he tried to say a few soothing words, Xiang Shifang didn't pay any attention, as if he was a transparent person.

When Cheng Pingyi's patience was exhausted, Xiang Shifang picked up a phone call. Cheng Pingyi seemed dazzled because he saw his son who had been keeping a cold face warm up. Night Tale.

Xiang Shifang whispered a few words to the person on the phone, then he would look back into the corridor, still ignoring Li Cheng Pingyi, he left the balcony.

Cheng Pingyi couldn't help following him, he saw Xiang Shifang walking towards another person, that person was standing at the door of the box, wearing a mask and simple clothes, he should be a student.

Then he saw that Xiang Shifang stopped in front of that person, said a few words to him, and then raised his hand, as if touching that person's face, or something else, anyway, it must be an intimate gesture.

Cheng Pingyi's eyes widened in surprise. After seeing Xiang Shifang showing warmth, he also witnessed Xiang Shifang behaving intimately with another person.

What surprised him even more was at the back, Xiang Shifang let the man hold his hand, and they walked towards the elevator like this.

If he read correctly, that person was a man!

Lin Ji and Xiang Shifang came to the underground parking lot. Along the way, Lin Ji couldn't help scratching his face. Recently, catkins were flying all over his skin. His skin couldn't bear this kind of fluff, and it would itch when he touched it.

"Don't touch it." Xiang Shifang gave him a sideways look.

Lin Ji had no choice but to endure it, and whispered, "It's uncomfortable."

"I'll buy ointment to apply later." Xiang Shifang said, and they walked to Lin Ji's car, Xiang Shi faced Lin Ji, held up his face and said, "Let me see."

He pulled off Lin Ji's mask, and from his chin to his cheekbones, it was all red. Besides the sensitive erythema, there were also several scratch marks, as if his aunt had used his face as a cat's scratching board.

Xiang Shifang frowned, touched Lin Ji's face and said, "Are you still a child? You don't want to apply medicine even if you scratch your face."

"The aunt who cleaned the office at noon today forgot to close the window for me." Lin couldn't help rubbing Xiang Shifang's hands, and said softly, "Shifang, itches."

Xiang Shifang also felt itchy in his heart, he pulled the mask on expressionlessly, and said, "Hold it."

Lin Ji laughed, hugged Xiang Shifang's waist, pressed him against the car body and rubbed him hard a few times.

Xiang Shifang patted Lin Ji on the back, and the two swayed a few times before getting into the car.

But after sitting down, Xiang Shifang touched his pocket, frowned and said, "My wallet is gone."

"Huh?" Lin Ji said, "Could it be left in the hotel? Call and ask the person in the box?"

Xiang Shifang recalled the last time he reached for the wallet, and after confirming that the wallet was dropped on the seat he was sitting just now, he opened the door and went out, "I'll get it, you wait for me."

"Oh...you have something important in your wallet?"

"A little cash and a few cards." Xiang Shifang said.

There was nothing valuable, but the wallet was a small gift from Lin Ji before, and he didn't want to put it in any corner.

After Xiang Shifang walked for 2 minutes, someone walked up to Lin Ji's window and raised his hand to knock on it. He bent down and looked at Lin Ji with a sullen face.

Lin Ji was startled, because some parts of this face looked exactly like Xiang Shifang's, but the fine lines around his eyes showed that he was not young.

Lin Ji immediately guessed his identity.

He got out of the car, and the meeting with Cheng Pingyi was so sudden that he had no time to prepare, took off his mask and said cautiously: "Hello, Uncle."

Cheng Pingyi sized him up sharply. He was a real man, but he was disappointing at close range. He had an ordinary appearance, with a black frame that was covered with dirt. He didn't know whether it was an allergy or an inflammation on his face.

How could Xiang Shifang fall in love with this kind of person?

Cheng Pingyi frowned, facing the person he met for the first time, his tone was not polite at all, "I don't care what you young people like to play, just watch out for me outside!"

Don't think about it, Lin Ji also knew that Cheng Pingyi saw their intimacy just now, Lin Ji said with some embarrassment: "Sorry for leaving a bad impression on you, we usually don't do this outside...by the way, my name is... "

"Although I don't understand how Shifang would fall in love with someone like you, you'd better be a little self-aware." Cheng Pingyi said impatiently.

Lin Ji was taken aback, "A person like me?"

Cheng Pingyi looked at him from beginning to end with needle-like eyes, and finally stopped on his wrist, "Is this watch a gift from Shifang?"

Lin nodded. What he was wearing today was indeed the Patek Philippe Xiang Shifang gave him.

Cheng Pingyi snorted coldly, more convinced that Lin Ji was adopted.

"I think you're still young, you can't do anything good, you have to do this, you're also a man, don't you feel ashamed?" Cheng Pingyi said.

This made Lin Ji even more puzzled, and he asked, "Uncle, have you misunderstood something?"

"Don't call me uncle, what right do you have to call me that?" Cheng Pingyi said disdainfully.

Lin Ji: "..."

Cheng Pingyi is also a leader in the business world who has fought for many years. When he looked at Lin Ji with mean and sharp eyes, Lin Ji felt heavy pressure.

"I don't care what method you use to get close to Shifang, you'd better be sensible and don't embarrass Shifang outside."

"Mr. Cheng, I don't understand why you can have such a big prejudice against someone you meet for the first time." Lin Ji's eyes darkened, and he looked at Cheng Pingyi without fear, "If you still have some basic etiquette, then Can you give me a chance to speak?"

"Shut up! What are you?" Cheng Pingyi yelled, "What right does a spoiled bastard have to speak up in front of me? Don't think that Shifang is protecting you, so you have confidence! Do you think I don't know? Shifang In order to get angry with me, I deliberately brought you in front of me to get angry with me, I can tolerate him finding a man, but you, you take care of your role!"

At this time, Lin's face was completely pale, and he understood why Xiang Shifang and his father had a bad relationship. This old man's ability to talk to himself was unmatched.

Lin Ji said "Sorry" coldly, then opened the car door and got in, but Cheng Pingyi held down the door frame.

Cheng Pingyi said angrily: "I'm talking to you, what's your attitude? A person like you who wants to look good but doesn't want to have a tutor, what kind of method did you use—"

"Mr. Cheng, what are you doing?"

Another cold voice sounded, although it was not loud, it interrupted Cheng Pingyi's words.

Xiang Shifang walked over, pulled Cheng Pingyi away, and stood in front of Lin Ji.

Lin closed his eyes, it was the first time he was scolded like this, the words "no tutor" stuck firmly into his flesh.

"Have you ever pointed fingers at my people and asked my opinion?" Xiang Shifang looked at Cheng Pingyi coldly.

Cheng Pingyi said displeased: "Shifang, you deliberately brought a man in front of me, didn't you just want to make me angry? You succeeded, and I have no objection to you playing outside, but you still have to be careful."

"Use your self-righteousness to disgust me, and you succeeded." Xiang Shifang sneered, he closed Lin Ji's car door, sat in the co-pilot again, and said, "Drive."

Lin held the steering wheel tightly, and asked in a low voice: "Is that so? Your father thought I was adopted by you. Why don't you explain to him?"

Xiang Shifang said disapprovingly: "My business has nothing to do with him, he thinks whatever he likes."

Lin Ji pursed his lips and started the car without saying a word.

Xiang Shifang didn't realize Lin Ji's gloomy mood until the second red light intersection, and Cheng Pingyi's words just now still affected him.

So Xiang Shifang reached out and pinched Lin Ji's earlobe, and said, "Don't take his words to heart, treat him as farting."

Lin is still silent, he knows what to do, but the anger of being contemptuous and humiliated cannot be wiped out with such a sentence. If Xiang Shifang is willing to express his position for him at that time, at least one sentence "He is my lover" ", he will feel that he has won.

But Xiang Shifang did not.

Maybe he has experienced too many similar things, so he doesn't care.

So he ignored Lin Ji's inner feelings.

Xiang Shifang was dissatisfied with Lin Ji's silence, he raised Lin Ji's chin and looked at him, "Did you listen to what I said?"

Lin looked at him quietly, and finally said slowly: "...I see."

Xiang Shifang brushed Lin Ji's lower lip with his thumb, "Good boy."
