Wrong Dream of Rebirth

He Jie hung up the phone, his face suddenly darkened.He got up and walked to his room, looking lonely and helpless from his back.

"I'm going back to my room first, good night." He Jie's voice sounded very pale.

The living room suddenly became quiet, Qi Ruochu was a little overwhelmed by He Jie's sudden change, and he rubbed his body into the sofa in dejection.

When Qi Ruochu woke up the next day, He Jie was no longer there.On the table was a takeaway that was still warm. The floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room were half opened, and the morning mist mixed with dew came in from the window. Looking down from the window, the whole city was still shrouded in white mist , as if still asleep.

Breakfast alone is inevitably a bit lonely, Qi Ruochu has no appetite, just took a sip of orange juice, and hurried out the door with the sandwich in the takeaway bag.

Qi Ruochu overheard a little bit of the conversation between He Jie and Xiaopang yesterday. Today is the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of He Jie's company. There may be many things that require him to be there in advance to prepare, so he left early.

It was past nine o'clock when Qi Ruochu returned home, and there was no movement at home after entering. The door of Qi Lu's room on the second floor was open, and there was no one in the living room.

Qi Ruochu took out his phone and called Qi Lu.

"Dad, I'm home, where are you?" Qi Ruochu heard a low-pitched music on the other end of the phone.

Qi Lu glanced at the woman sitting across from him, covered the microphone and mouthed to him—it was Ruochu.

"I have something to do outside, I'll tell you when I get home." Qi Lu hung up the phone.

"How is Ruochu?" The woman held a coffee cup in her hand, looked at Qi Lu with concern and a hint of apology, her face had the charm of a mature woman, but she didn't look old.

Qi Lu smiled mockingly: "You haven't shown your face for so many years, do you still know how to care about your son?"

Today's Qi Lu is very handsome, with a clean shaven beard, his long hair was cut off a few days ago, and now he has a refreshing short hair, wearing a men's leather jacket and indigo corduroy slim-fit trousers. The dark brown leather shoes on his clothes are so bright that they can be used as a mirror. He is no longer a transvestite in people's mouth, but has transformed into a majestic and handsome uncle.

Some time ago, the compensation for the demolition arrived, and He Jie also transferred Qi Ruochu's film salary to his account. Now that life is no longer worrying, he decided to wash his hands and enjoy retirement in advance, so he returned to his original self.

What's more, after 22 years, the person who has always lived on the tip of his heart finally came to him again.

"I know you still hate me." The woman lowered her head, looked at the coffee in her hand sadly, picked up the spoon in the cup and saucer and stirred it in, the coffee in the cup slowly shook, just like at this moment Her mood, "I heard about you on the Internet some time ago."

Qi Lu opened his eyes wide nervously, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. If this is the case, does she know that she is a gigolo?Does that mean that all his meticulous grooming was in vain?

He suddenly felt ashamed and uneasy, grabbed the coffee in front of him and took a sip, his cheeks blushed unknowingly.

The woman covered her mouth and smiled, and said softly, "I haven't seen you for so many years, and you still haven't changed at all. When you get nervous and shy, your face immediately turns red."

Qi Lu responded hesitantly: "Is there anything else to mention about the past, what's the matter with you looking for me so suddenly?"

The woman put down the spoon in her hand, stared at the passers-by outside the glass for a while, and said, "I'm going abroad soon."

Qi Lu was taken aback for a moment, as if a basin of cold water had been poured into his heart: "Will you be with him?"

"No." The woman flicked the bangs on her forehead to one side, and said flatly, "I divorced him three years ago."

Qi Lu's frozen heart immediately jumped up again, but his face pretended to be calm: "Oh, why did you leave well?"

The woman shook her head with a wry smile, and sighed softly: "Hey, it's all in the past, there's no need to mention it again." She paused, looked up at Qi Lu, bit her lips lightly, feeling uneasy Question: "I want to meet Ruochu before going abroad. I don't know if I will come back after I leave."

"If you want to see him, you can ask yourself." Qi Lu was a little depressed. After chatting for a long time, it turned out that she came here for Qi Ruochu and had nothing to do with him. Unfortunately, he was so excited and looking forward to it last night that he didn't even sleep well. , In the morning, I put three layers of powder on the inside and outside of the eyes to cover the dark circles.

The woman suddenly fell silent because of his blunt attitude. By now, she knew that she had long since lost the right to make any demands on the man in front of her. What's more, for Qi Ruochu, she had never fulfilled her mother's expectations from the beginning to the end. responsibility.

She stood up from the chair sadly, and forced a smile: "Sure enough, people can't be greedy. If that's the case, I won't delay you."

Seeing her disappointed look, Qi Lu suddenly softened his heart, and said with a straight face: "No. 31, if we can touch him, you can meet him."

"You mean..." There was a look of joy on the woman's face.

"Yeah." Qi Lu waved towards the cashier counter expressionlessly, "Waiter, check out."

The woman looked at him, and suddenly there were many past events in her heart, some happy and some sad, but time passed, many of them have been let go.

"Thank you for visiting him every year," she said with a smile.

Located in the Tianfeng Building in the West District of H City, He Jie was rubbing his brows in the general manager's office of the new company that was about to open. He didn't close his eyes almost all night last night. He Lin's phone call made his confidence and pride instantly The room all collapsed.

"He Jie, all the guests are here." Xiaopang knocked on the door and came in. Seeing that He Jie's face was a little strange, he was afraid that he might have some aftereffects from the drowning, so he asked with concern: "Not feeling well?"

He Jie waved his hands, supported the table and got up: "No, it's just that I didn't sleep well last night, you go out first, I'll be right back."

The hall of more than 100 meters was filled with half of the entertainment industry from all walks of life. Xiang Li, Yang Xinkun, and Zhou Mi, who had a good personal relationship with him, all came to cheer him on.

The entrance of the company is full of opening flower baskets sent by guests, and the company's golden signboard is hung on the wall facing the entrance, which is very grand.

He Jiqiang walked out of the office in high spirits, soft music was playing on the stereo in the hall, and the guests in expensive dresses held glasses of champagne in their hands, chatting about interesting things in the industry, as if this is An upper-class dance social scene, not a company opening ceremony.

Seeing such a scene, for a moment, He Jie wondered from the bottom of his heart whether it was really meaningful for him to do so many things

He likes filming and singing, escaped from his father, and earned a piece of world with his own efforts, but in fact, later on, he realized that he just wanted to get approval from He Aojiang, a father's approval of his son , just like He Aojiang recognized He Lin.

As soon as He Jie appeared, the scattered guests immediately surrounded him, there was no shortage of compliments and congratulations, Xiaopang stopped the music, and took out the ribbons prepared in advance.

"My brother didn't come?" He Jie saw Deputy Manager Zhang of He Jie Company in the crowd, who was chatting with Xiang Li.

"Boss He has something to do, so he sent me to congratulate your company on opening." Deputy Manager Zhang smiled, and pointed to the flower baskets outside the door, "The flower baskets outside were all picked by him himself, let's talk about his heart."

He Jie glanced outside the door, said with a smile: "He always likes to toss about messy things."

Xiaopang held the ribbon in his hand, and walked over with two other employees from the new company: "He Jie, it's almost time, let's cut the ribbon first."

"Yeah." He Ji nodded at him, and said to Manager Zhang, "I'll talk to you later, and learn from it."

Each of the employees held up the long bright red silk. He Jie stood behind the red brocade ball in the middle, holding golden scissors in his hand, and stood on the temporary platform, watching the joyful expressions of the guests. Only then did his heart relax a little, and his usual look appeared on his face.

"Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this opening ceremony today." He Jie glanced around the stage with a smile, "I hope that everyone will have more cooperation opportunities in the future, so that the film and television industry will have more excellence." The work appears."

"He Jie! What you said is too official! The auspicious time is almost over! Hurry up and move the scissors!" Yang Xinkun raised his wine glass carelessly and made a fuss, his face was slightly drunk, and he was addicted to alcohol. He completely drank champagne as if it were water. After coming to Heji Company, he drank one cup after another without stopping. Although champagne has a low alcohol content, it can't be misunderstood as wine.

He Jie smiled helplessly, and raised his hands to the booing people: "Okay, I won't say more if it's boring, anyway, I'm counting on everyone to take care of me in the future."

"Okay!" The guests in the audience raised their wine glasses one after another and responded with smiles on their faces, waiting for He Jie to cut off the big red brocade ball in front of him.

He Jie raised his hand holding the scissors, lifted his shoulders and exhaled lightly, feeling a little nervous.Being coaxed by Yang Xinkun just now, his mood also has small waves. Today is such a good day, why should we not put our minds on those heavy past events, after all, the future can still be expected.

The opened golden scissors gently cut the red ribbon, and He Jie held the brocade ball that was about to be cut off in the palm of his hand. At this moment, a majestic and deep voice suddenly came from outside the gate.

"Why didn't you inform me of such an important day, He Jie." He Aojiang walked in from the door with a smile, followed by He Lin and two bodyguards.

The difference from the past is that He Lin's demeanor seems to be tense, and there is no trace of his usual calm and calm at all. When he followed He Aojiang into the hall, he glanced at the flower basket outside the door and sighed softly. tone.

The moment He Jie saw He Aojiang's appearance, he froze. The cut brocade ball suddenly fell off the list, and fell to the ground in a daze.

"Dad..." He Jie's voice sounded a little trembling.

He Aojiang watched him move his mouth, walked to the stage unhurriedly, picked up the brocade ball, patted the ashes on it, and put it back in He Jie's hand: "Hold it well, don't delay the serious business. "

He Jie took the ball from his hand in a daze, his mind suddenly went blank, he just watched He Aojiang walk up to the stage, and calmly retreated to the audience to blend in with the guests.

He was in a daze, and couldn't even remember how the subsequent ceremony and activities were carried out, until after sending off all the guests, he followed He Aojiang and He Lin into the general manager's office that should belong to him.

From the lobby to the office, He Jie felt that every step was floating in the short dozens of steps.

"The new company is not bad." He Aojiang walked to the window behind the desk, opened the curtains and looked out the window, then sat down on the office chair in front of him very naturally, without giving He Ji a chance to breathe, and put his hands on the desk Suddenly, he changed the subject and said with a stern face: "You have had enough fun these years, it's time to return to the United States with me to take care of the family's company."

"But my new company has just been established, and there is still a lot of work to be done..." He Jie exhausted all his courage to try to excuse himself in such a weak way.

"Leave it to He Lin, he has more experience than you." He Aojiang looked at He Lin, "One of you two must inherit the family business."

"Dad, why don't I go back to the United States to help you, Ah Jie is still young, let him stay outside more..."

"He's still young!?" He Aojiang interrupted He Lin rudely, his thick black eyebrows were huddled together in displeasure, "I didn't even reach 20 when I started from scratch, is he still young when he's almost 30? "

He let out a long breath, loosened his brows, and said to He Lin earnestly: "I heard that your company is going to go public? It's a pity that you can't continue with such a good development. As for He Jie—" He moved his eyes, Glancing at He Jie, he said coldly: "Don't you know that in ancient times people were divided into three, six, and nine classes, and opera singers were the lowest? The He family can't afford to lose this person."

He Aojiang's short sentence completely negates He Jie's painstaking efforts over the years.His heart ached, desperate but unwilling.

"I'm almost 30, and I know exactly how I should go." He Jie clenched his fists tightly, as if he would have the courage to refute the arbitrary "tyrant" in front of him, "I hope you can respect me. "

He Lin sweated for him, facing their father, such an aggressive tone was obviously not the best way to communicate.

Unexpectedly, He Aojiang's face was unexpectedly calm, he leaned his body back, looked at him with disgusted eyes that he tried his best to conceal, and spit out the words of hatred: "He Jie, you know that the 'Jie' in your name 'Where did the word come from? Do you remember how you came into this world?"

He Lin turned pale with shock, trying to step forward to stop what He Aojiang was going to say next.

"He Lin, you are not allowed to interrupt." He Aojiang repelled He Lin with sharp and dull eyes, "I must let your good brother understand my position."

He Jie looked at He Lin with doubts and apprehensions, of course he knew how he came to this world, it was the pain of his whole life, but he had never heard from anyone about the origin of his name.

"You never know what it's like to watch the woman you love die from exhaustion of blood." He Aojiang closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Your birth was a disaster, and it was Amei who exchanged her life for you." Your life, your life no longer belongs to you at all from that time on. If you are a little self-aware, you should understand that doing your best for the He family is the only salvation you can do and obtain .”

He Jie looked at He Aojiang in pain, and He Lin turned his head sadly. If possible, he hoped that He Jie would never hear such bloody and cruel facts in his life.

In He Aojiang's heart, He Lin is a god-given Lin'er, while He Jie is just a tool forged by God, a disaster that caused his beloved woman to die of blood.

He Jie's world was shattered in an instant.He has tried countless times to please his father, hoping to get some fatherly love, which is very common among his peers, but he has never succeeded, all he got is He Aojiang's indifference and hatred satisfied eyes.

But even so, he never thought that even if he was far away from that home and He Aojiang, the trembling hatred had always followed him like a shadow, attached to his name.

The grief on He Jie's face seemed to make He Aojiang feel very happy, he tapped the table with his fingers briskly: "I will give you half a month to hand over the work at hand, and then return to China with me, don't think about anything else, I will Let people follow you all the time."

The author has something to say: I have been very busy recently, so the daily schedule is a bit difficult, I hope everyone will understand, and the student party exam month is good!
