Xiaorui is enough

After leaving Xiao's house, Xiao Rui subconsciously drove to the bottom of Yu Yuntong's apartment.He didn't get out of the car to go upstairs, nor did he have any other intentions, just parked the car there.Recalcitrant.

Time passed by every minute and every second.Xiao Rui watched.For him, this is like a countdown - how many hours are left until Xiao Rui gets married, one second less, one second less...

After that, Xiao Rui saw the car.

Jaguar's courtesy car.High-profile luxury is not Li Zhicheng's style at all.However, the person in the car is indeed the other party.Because Xiao Rui saw Li Zhicheng get off the parked car with his own eyes.Then he also saw Yu Yuntong.Yu Yuntong, who came out of the small building, raised his eyebrows in surprise at this exaggerated car, but he did not dislike it, and looked at Li Zhicheng with a smile pretending to be flattered jokingly.The two said a few words by the side of the car, and then got into the car together.

Xiao Rui didn't know if Yu Yuntong had found his car.He watched the luxury concierge car drive away, knowing that there should be no further entanglement, but he still started the car and followed.

far all the way.

Xiao Rui finally stopped the car in front of Li Zhicheng's half-mountain villa.The Jaguar carrying Yu Yuntong disappeared behind the iron gate.

It was dark.So deep that Xiao Rui didn't think he could wait for Yu Yuntong to come out from behind the iron gate tonight.

Xiao Rui hesitated between two options: one is to get out of the car and go up to ring the doorbell, the other is to drive directly to open the door.Maybe he really will have to choose between the two options.To choose between these two options with impulsive recklessness that is totally out of his style.However, before that, he received a call from Yu Yuntong.

Staring at the words "my child's father" on the phone screen, Xiao Rui didn't move for a long time.He didn't press the connect button until the call was almost cut off automatically.

"You bother me." Yu Yuntong's voice came from the phone, without any tact, indifferent tone, and straightforward words, "Stalking is not your style. Xiao Rui, stop pestering."

Xiao Rui didn't have time to answer.

——Perhaps it was luck, Yu Yuntong cut off the phone before he had time to answer.He didn't know what he could say if he was given enough time.

After all, it is impossible for him to ask why the other party hurt his sincerity in such a ruthless way like a tragic heroine.He has experienced so many lovers, and lost more true love day by day. When he thought that there was not much left, he suddenly ushered in the first love.This is the flower that blooms in full bloom after Fangfei is exhausted in April. It is so difficult to bloom, but it is easily trampled by others.

After putting down the phone, Xiao Rui started the car.

Flee in a hurry.

In the early morning, Xiao Rui was still wandering the streets.The empty streets are terribly lonely.

Xiao Rui dialed the phone subconsciously.

"I agree." He said to his father without thinking.

The man who was obviously awakened paused for a moment and then calmly replied: "In person. You can come home now."

In fact, Xiao Rui didn't intend to seek comfort when making this phone call, but the word "go home" was so sweet.

The next day, word spread that the Xiao and Chen families were about to get married.

Xiao Rui began to be very busy.First of all, he had to be busy organizing the engagement banquet. At the same time, he also had to be busy with business affairs. After all, the four consecutive days of absenteeism had accumulated a thick pile of documents on his desk.

——Of course, no matter how busy he is, Xiao Rui will not block the news.Therefore, he heard that Li Zhicheng was arrested on charges of arms smuggling with the cooperation of the local and Australian police.

Xiao Rui specifically confirmed that Yu Yuntong was not involved. At most, the starring movie was stranded. He considered taking over, but finally made up his mind not to pay attention to this matter.

Deliberately stop paying attention.

He must take responsibility for his decisions.The engagement banquet was scheduled for just a week later because he was eager to give up, and now, he couldn't turn back.Otherwise, he would have no way to explain to the woman, no way to explain to the stockholders who bought their stocks, and even less able to explain to his father.

"Xiao Rui, I'm getting engaged tomorrow." During the video call with Xiao Rui that day, Xiao Rui told his son about it.He didn't know how to open his mouth, so he put it off until the last day.

Faced with this news, Xiao Rui was very surprised. Obviously, he also found it difficult to accept it. "Daddy, you don't want me and dad anymore?"

"Of course not." It was difficult for Xiao Rui to explain to such a young child who didn't want who, but no matter what, he had to make sure Xiao Rui knew——

"Daddy will always be by Xiao Rui's side."

"But Dad... he doesn't wake up..."

Due to network problems, the video was not smooth, and Xiao Rui couldn't hear what the little boy said.He didn't pay much attention either.The matter between him and Yu Yuntong, Xiaorui is so young, what can he understand?

"Xiao Rui, I assure you, your father and I will still love you together."

Xiao Rui, who has never heard the words "I love you" from his father, already understands that it doesn't matter whether he says it or not, but he hopes that his son can hear it with his own ears, because he knows that the other party wants to hear it. .

"Daddy," Xiao Rui couldn't see Xiao Rui's expression clearly because the screen was a bit stuck, but he heard the other party tell him seriously, "I love you too."

the next day.

The engagement party was a great success.The magnificent banquet hall is full of distinguished guests.During the exchange of engagement rings, Xiao Rui noticed a person in a wheelchair looking in from the corridor outside the hall.Because it was too far away, he couldn't see that person's face clearly, but he was inexplicably concerned about the other person's gaze on him.When he wanted to take a closer look, the man had already operated the wheelchair and turned to leave.Xiao Rui subconsciously watched the back of the other party until he disappeared.

Beside him, his fiancée reached out to hand him her engagement ring, whispering his name because he didn't reach for it in time.Xiao Rui snapped back to his senses.

He raised his hand and accepted it.

Finally, you can give up.

Xiao Rui is glad that he no longer has to hesitate and struggle.

—but he wasn't happy at all.

Xiao Rui, who was about to get married three months later, started dating his fiancée.Once a week, that's the limit, as if he's only willing to work five days a week.Xiao Rui could feel that his fiancée didn't like him that much.If it was before, he must be dissatisfied.His self-esteem makes it difficult for him to accept the hypocrisy of others.However, right now he feels at ease about it.

He is going to marry this girl, but he would rather the other party dislike him.This marriage is so wonderful.

In addition to dating at most once a week, in Xiao Rui's schedule, there is now an "going home" meal at least once a week.

Xiao Rui can't feel that he has become a little closer to his father and stepmother because of this, but every time he goes home for dinner, it can be said that he is the most relaxed moment of the week.

...It was also the only moment when he was not so lost and confused.

Xiao Rui didn't know what he was waiting for, in fact he thought he had stopped waiting, as if his life had already ended.

However, after dinner that day, Xiao Huaishan called Xiao Rui to the study.

"You know about Li Zhicheng's case, right?" The topic Xiao Huaishan started was unexpected to Xiao Rui.

Recently, the case of Li Zhicheng's arms smuggling and other criminal acts is being tried in court. Xiao Rui deliberately avoids it, but he has heard a little bit about it.He knew that now that the evidence was solid, he was afraid that Li Zhicheng would not be able to escape the punishment.

"How did you say that?" he asked.

Xiao Huaishan did not answer, but described in detail: "It is said that in order to investigate Li Zhicheng, an Australian policeman of Chinese descent died in an undercover mission. After that, the Australian police found another informant. With the help of that informant, finally Find key evidence. Because the case is confidential, I don't know many details, especially any clues about the informant. However, the Australian policeman who died was commended and his name can be found. His surname is Shen, and he has a Chinese name of Shen happy."

The sudden information made Xiao Rui dazed for a long time.

Those fragmentary clues flashed in his mind one by one——

Yu Yuntong's professional habit is to look for evidence.

He has great skills.

He became a full-time father for Xiao Rui.

Yu Yuntong denied to Xiao Rui that the unclaimed corpse was Shen Ruyi, but he told Xiao Rui seriously that he would answer Xiao Rui's question about what happened to his uncle chopsticks later.Then Xiao Rui was suddenly sent abroad.

Yu Yuntong and Shen Ruyi have known each other since they were five years old, how could he watch each other die in vain?

Yu Yuntong said: "The relationship between me and him is definitely not what you imagined."

Xiao Rui figured out many things.At the same time, I can't figure out many things.

What puzzled him the most was——

Knowing these things, what can he do?

The emotions surging in his chest were so complex that he couldn't even identify them.

After a long time, he looked at his father and asked blankly, "Why did you tell me this?"

Xiao Huaishan replied flatly: "I have no reason to lie to you."

In fact, this is not "no deception", Xiao Huaishan obviously made a special investigation.And it wouldn't do him any good.

Another long silence.

Then, Xiao Rui asked uncertainly: "What if I regret the marriage?"

"I am your father, who taught you to be like this, and I have the responsibility to clean up your mess."

Xiao Rui didn't have enough confidence to think that he could get the chance he wanted most.It's not an alternative at all, and he'll probably end up with nothing, but even so, he's happy.Just the fact that he doesn't need to marry his fiancée is a good thing for him.

He was still not sure what he should do, but at least he knew that breaking the engagement was the right choice.

Looking at his father who has done so many things for himself in silence as always, Xiao Rui used a joke to hide his helplessness because he was moved and didn't know what to say: "It's not that you didn't teach well, it's mainly because of my own talent."

Xiao Huaishan corrected without hesitation: "That's also because I was born badly."

People without a sense of humor can occasionally tell jokes.

Xiao Rui finally laughed.

For the first time in so many days, he smiled.

As long as there is still a way to laugh, things must not be too bad.
