Chapter 58 He's His Brother

Ren Mingqing shuffled to the study to print in his slippers, then ran back shuffling and handed the manuscript to him.Xu Jingzhi shook off the flip flops, lay down on the bed, found a comfortable position and looked at it with interest.

He noticed that Ren Mingqing had been sitting on the sofa watching his expression, thinking that he was bored, he threw the TV remote control to him: "Play by yourself! - There is food, take it yourself." Ren Mingqing was reserved at first, Later, because Xu Jingzhi was fascinated by watching it and watched it very slowly, she calmed down and obediently turned on the TV to watch the science and education film there.

His hand speed was not bad before, and he could write [-] to [-] words every day. At Xu Jingzhi's speed, he could read for a long time.The long reading also made Xu Jingzhi completely immersed in the story, which is completely different from the impetuousness of the earlier fragmented reading.This gave Ren Mingqing a shot in the arm. It wasn't that he couldn't write well, but Xu Jingzhi's reading mode caused a deviation in the perception of the text.There are too many ways for modern people to have fun. Novels are competing with Douyin, Weibo, variety shows, and games, which makes readers suddenly go from fragmented entertainment to in-depth reading, and readers also need opportunities to adapt.

Ren Mingqing finished watching the three programs and was so sleepy that his eyelids were clenched, when he suddenly heard sobbing from behind.He turned around in surprise, and found that Xu Jingzhi was crying tears all over his face at some point.As soon as he realized that Ren Mingqing had discovered his gaffe, he said viciously: "What are you looking at! Turn back!"

Ren Mingqing's shoulders trembled in fright, and he did it honestly, but his ears were pricked up, obviously inquiring about the military situation.Xu Jing said forcefully, "I didn't cry!"

Ren Mingqing was very excited when he heard his crying voice, and couldn't help moving around on the seat: "Where did you see? Where did you see?"

"When the second brother Lin cut off Lin Che's arm in Xiangyun Building."

Ren Mingqing couldn't help but let out a cry: "What's there to cry about?" He thought that no readers would like a brat like Lin Lao Er, let alone when he almost killed Lin Che because of his seriousness.In his opinion, at this point in the plot, the reader should be angry. He would stand in Lin Che's position and sigh bitterly, hating Lin's second child to the bone.

"Who's crying!" Xu Jingzhi raised her fist.

Ren Mingqing hurriedly turned back.

Xu Jingzhi muttered, "I didn't cry," and rustled the pages again.But this time he didn't look at it for too long, so he threw the manuscript away in a distracted way: "Do you have a brother too?"

"I have a younger brother."

"Turn around." Xu Jingzhi sat cross-legged on the bed, "Did you follow your brother's writing?"

"Not all." Ren Mingqing mentioned Jiang Yong, his smile gradually disappeared, a little helpless, "I don't have a good relationship with him, I can only guess what he thinks."

Xu Jingzhi looked at him for a while, and said with a weird expression, "You guessed it pretty well." He turned his head and looked at the boundless night outside the window, "Actually, I have an older brother, and my feeling for him is probably the same as that of Lin's second child to Lin Che. "

Ren Mingqing was stunned, and Xu Jingzhi was quite deep when he said this, as if he wanted to reveal his heart to him.Despite his lack of mental preparation, he humbly expressed his all ears.

Xu Jingzhi glanced at him: "Do you think I'll tell you about my brother?" He got up and opened a bottle of wine, drunk alone.

Ren Mingqing lowered his head, pretending not to be very curious.

Xu Jingzhi's wine was full of sorrow, and she said "forget it", sitting on the sofa in front of Ren Mingqing, chattering about the past.This old matter has been in his heart for many years, and now the atmosphere is in place, and Ren Mingqing is his favorite author, and he has created characters that can resonate with him, so he can't help but spit it out.

From Xu Jingzhi's narration, Ren Mingqing learned that he was actually not Xu's only son, he had an older brother.As the eldest son of a wealthy family, he has both good character and learning, elegant and self-cultivation. He obtained a master's degree from Princeton Business School at a young age, and is almost the standard male protagonist in the overbearing president's novel.He is the pride of Mr. Xu and his ideal successor. Even though he has never been reported in the newspapers because of his low-key behavior, people who know him believe that he is the future owner of Liancheng Group.Unsurprisingly, Xu Jingzhi was hidden under that person's aura and became an unexpected character.

"Compared to him, I'm a piece of shit." Xu Jingzhi didn't hide her jealousy and frustration, "They all think that I can't do anything, and I can't eat anything."

That person was so good that Xu Jingzhi's birth seemed like a mistake.Everywhere the two of them were compared by my father: slower to walk, slower to talk, worse grades, more tempered... He was considered worthless.He didn't feel that he was cared for, as if the competition started from the moment he landed, and the competitors started before him and ran faster than him.He tried hard at first, but the distance between them didn't get closer in a day or two if he worked hard occasionally. He would be ridiculed by his father if the distance was still there.The man ran farther and farther, farther and farther, and finally disappeared. Xu Jingzhi also completely gave up the game that would not win.He fights, smokes, clubs, and swears from the bottom of his heart that he's going to be a bad boy, drag that man down, and embarrass his father.

"Why do you..." Ren Mingqing was very anxious, and tried to persuade him, "Why do you..."

"I'm not like this now, I'm fine now, who isn't young yet?" Xu Jingzhi said confidently.

Ren Mingqing is like an old mother looking at a silly son who has gone astray without knowing it, telling him with her eyes: You still look like you are still doing whatever you want, eating whatever you want, smoking, clubbing, and sleeping as a model.

Xu Jingzhi took a deep sip of wine: "Now the old man also wants to spend time cultivating me, because my brother ran away from home, ha ha."

"runaway?"

"He went to write a novel." Xu Jingzhi shrugged.

Ren Mingqing: "...?"

"It's ridiculous, right? But really, he went to write novels." Xu Jingzhi said, "That person has been an intellectual since he was a child, not a businessman. You have also seen that there are cabinets and cabinets of books. The old man forced him to go to business school, but he has been writing, and I don't know what he is trying to figure out. How much money can he get for the manuscript fee? You can't even support yourself!" Xu Jingzhi shook her head at Ren Mingqing, meaning It's not a good job for you.

"What did he write?"

"I don't know, he never told me." Xu Jingzhi showed a puzzled expression on his face, "I always feel like him, why should he write a speech report to the chairman in the State Council?"

"That's not a novel." Ren Mingqing reminded him tactfully.

"However, I think if he is still writing, his level should not be inferior to yours, right?!" Xu Jingzhi is very confident, "He is very educated and has read a lot of books—he also read "The Great Chronicle"! We also discussed the plot!" It was one of the few common hobbies of the two brothers, Xu Jingzhi was so obsessed with it, and it had a lot to do with his brother's recommendation.You will like things because of what important people like.

"He can do everything well, whether he likes it or not. He likes to write novels, so he should write very, very well." Xu Jingzhi said.

Ren Mingqing found that although Xu Jingzhi still refused to call him brother, when he was mentioned, his eyes were full of fascination.He said he hated it, but he should like him very much and respect him in his heart.

The future young owner of the Liancheng Group returned from overseas and wanted to write novels instead of inheriting the family business. This is something Mr. Xu cannot tolerate.He didn't understand why his eldest son, whom he had been proud of since he was a child, suddenly became nervous and ordered him to give up this stupid idea and go back to be his domineering president.After a series of quarrels, the man ran away from home.Mr. Xu ignored him, he was even more hard-hearted then than he is now.

"The man only came back twice in several years, and he didn't know what he was doing outside. He was actually quite similar to the old man, and he was so stubborn that he couldn't pull back nine cows. Neither of them would bow their heads, and they just kept on like this Frozen, my mother was caught in the middle and almost cried blind, but there is no way." Xu Jingzhi let out a sigh, bitterly saying that he himself had been unlucky since then.

In the past, it was enough for the old man to just scold him, but now he not only scolds him, but also drives ducks to the shelves.There is no hope in this kind of rushing ducks to the shelves, but the old man did it for that person, as if saying: If you don't come back, I will still be quiet!Who cares about you!

"When he came back for the first time, the whole family was very happy. Although the old man didn't say anything, he was very excited in his heart. But the man said that he had to go. He came back because he missed us, not because he wanted to Admitting his mistake to the old man, the old man threw him out immediately. When he came back for the second time, he stood there." Xu Jingzhi pointed to his door, "He said, 'Jingzhi, I'm leaving, you Give this letter to Papa.' He hasn't been back since, not once. Those were the last words he ever said to me."

When he relayed his brother's last words, tears welled up in his eyes without warning, and Ren Mingqing silently pulled a tissue for him.Xu Jingzhi wiped away tears rudely, "This wine is onion-flavored."

"Oh." Ren Mingqing said obediently.

"You didn't see anything!" Xu Jingzhi threatened him with her fist while blowing her nose.

"Okay." Ren Mingqing bowed her head obediently. "Then you haven't looked for him since then?"

With the Xu family's financial resources, it's not difficult to find someone, right?Even if Mr. Xu was too stubborn to bow his head first, wouldn't Xu Jingzhi have the ability to do this?

"I'm not looking for him! He hasn't come back for five years! I'm not looking for him!" Xu Jingzhi said angrily, and cried uglyly again, this time crying loudly.

Ren Mingqing hadn't thought about that at first, but now he realized from Xu Jingzhi's grief that he, who is connected by blood, might have a premonition of something.

He cried and asked Ren Mingqing: "Will Lin Che come back? Will Lin's second child reconcile with him?"

Knowing that he might have concealed something important about him and his brother, Ren Mingqing couldn't help but move the chair closer to him and nodded: "My brother will always forgive my brother. Because it's my brother."

Xu Jingzhi cried even harder.But with relief he pulled out a letter from the drawer.

Ren Mingqing realized that it was a letter from his brother to his father five years ago.

"You didn't give it to your father?!"

Xu Jingzhi shook her head in panic: "I didn't mean to!"

In Ren Mingqing's expression of regret and slight accusation, Xu Jingzhi lowered her head and shook her head: "I didn't mean to..."

Why wasn't it handed over to my father in time?

Because he hated that man.Why did you let me suffer from bird anger for so many years, then walked away and left everything to me?Why did he come back to snatch him from me when he was gone for so long and the old man started to care about me?Why did you write him a letter and only say goodbye to me?Why?

But as time passed, he slowly remembered more, that person was kind to him.

That person never hated or despised him because of his clumsiness and mischievousness, and said something weird. After so many years, Xu Jingzhi can finally say in a fair way that he is not a hypocrite.Hypocrisy is a person who pretends for a long time and then ruins it once, but for that person, there has never been a moment when he has been hypocritical, deceitful, and double-faced to himself.He is not being nice to himself out of sympathy, or compensation for every other kind of unequal treatment.Just because he is a kind and upright person, and he is his only real brother.I haven't discovered this before.When he hugged himself on his knees to teach me to recite poetry, when he put aside his heavy studies to make model airplanes with him, when he was gently scolded by him every time he came back from clubbing, and was protected and loved by him every time he got into trouble. when covering up.

"I don't kiss him...I never kiss him..." Xu Jingzhi repeatedly emphasized to Ren Mingqing, as if she wanted to use this to convince herself of something. "I hate him, I wanted to play a prank on him, so I hid it..."

At first, he didn't take it to heart, it was just a letter, and he even forgot it for a while.

One year, two years...he occasionally thought of that person, and thought of the letter at the bottom of the drawer, feeling uneasy that he had done something wrong, maybe the letter contained important information, and his narrow-mindedness and jealousy made him It lost its function of transmitting information at that time and place.Out of timidity, he didn't dare to admit to his father, and he was unwilling to bear the consequences of making mistakes. After all, it was that person who stood in front of him before to make things right.

Three years, four years, five years... The more time passed, the clearer this matter became in his mind.That letter took root and sprouted in his heart, and sometimes he had the illusion that it would be the most important thing throughout his life, that his internal organs were all tied up by it, penetrated into his flesh and blood, and walked away. He can't forget it no matter where he goes - there is an extra secret in his body.

He began to think of that person frequently, and when he dreamed back at midnight, he saw him wearing a clean white shirt and khaki pants, standing politely outside the door illuminated by the sun, saying that slow and weak goodbye.After waking up, he wanted to open the letter countless times, but at this moment, the letter itself became frightening to him.

He vaguely realized that it was a solemn farewell, a close miss, an irreparable mistake, so that his whole life later became a disaster.But letters are slow. Letters are different from all instant messaging software. As long as you close the envelope, time will stop there.As long as he doesn't look at it, he is still a dude, a dou who cannot be supported, the second young master of the Xu family who is not favored... he is that person's little brother.

"You haven't told me, is Lin Che still alive?" Xu Jingzhi asked Ren Mingqing.

"Yes." Ren Mingqing is like a child, easily affected by other people's emotions. Before holding a tissue box and giving him one by one, now he began to give it to himself. "In the finale, he's still alive, and he's living a very good life. He's successful and famous...I'll spoil it for you."

Xu Jingzhi nodded as if she had grasped the last straw, and regained her energy: "Then will he really forgive Lin Laoer?"

"I don't think... I don't think he was angry."

Xu Jingzhi didn't believe it: "But Lin's second son cut off his arm in Xiangyun Tower, and he almost killed him."

"However, he is his brother."

Xu Jingzhi opened her mouth, wrinkled her face, and cried silently.

"However, he is his elder brother." Ren Mingqing repeated while touching his head tenderly.

That night, Xu Jingyi vomited quickly, but still didn't have the guts to open the letter. He felt that he still needed some time to prepare and brew.After Ren Mingqing put him to sleep, he tiptoed out of the room, walked quickly to the study, and wrote until dawn.His writing and thinking flowed like a spring, and he blew thousands of miles away, which was completely different from his difficult walking in the daytime.

He was finally able to understand Lin's second villain's subtle and subtle psychology, and he also found the opportunity for him to turn from evil to good.Ren Mingqing himself is a person who has made mistakes. He knows how powerful guilt is, which can occupy the whole body from the inside out and reshape people's thoughts and flesh and blood.In front of the brother's bloody severed arm, at the moment when he is about to lose his loved one, all the jealousy, resentment, and comparison will be swept away by the huge panic, and the attachment, reliance, and longing in the heart will also break through the frozen ice.
