Mala Tang Little Brother's Entrepreneurship History
Chapter 37 (1)
The author has something to say: High-energy warning ahead: the long-awaited (not) glass slag is finally here!
As a considerate author, after thinking about it, I don’t want to torture everyone’s little heart more and more every day. I spent a whole day scattering the glass shards to make everyone feel refreshed.
Dear friends, hold on, think about the bright future again!The car didn't even drive, did it?To look forward to ah!
This is really a season of autumn rain and cold, Cheng Lin thought that he would have to wait a whole day to wait for Ren An, and he was definitely in a mood of ups and downs and couldn't do anything, so he simply kept himself busier and forced himself Turning around makes time go faster.A few days ago, he researched the new winter hot drink, and posted an advertisement on the official account, saying that today's new product promotion is [-]% off, and Malatang can also get [-]% off. He also wrote an advertisement on the small blackboard at the door. Many people who are free The old customers are very supportive, and the passenger flow is obviously much more than usual. Cheng Lin is as busy as a spinning top as he wished, and his attention is a little distracted. He is the shadow of Ren An when he doesn't open or close his eyes anymore, but he still miscalculated three times For the account, the mala tang was cooked twice.
The daytime in late autumn obviously became shorter, and when the sky gradually darkened, there was another wave of dinner peaks. Chen Min, who was passing by after playing, went into the store to take a look, helped Cheng Lin for an hour, and was called to a dinner party by his friends , Cheng Lin sent Chen Min out with a smile, and Chen Min asked, "Ren An coming back tonight?"
Cheng Lin couldn't help showing off his smile, and said, "Yes, my brother said he would pick me up later, but he just sent a message saying he's already on his way back."
Chen Min patted the basketball in his hand twice with a smile, and said, "Look at you, you told Ren An that you owed me too much labor fees, and asked him to pay it back quickly."
"Hey, of course, Brother Chen Min, I must remind him." Cheng Lin smiled happily, waved goodbye to Chen Min, and returned to the store humming a little song.
Ren An sent several messages on the way, saying that he had a dinner with his grandfather on the way, and there was a slight delay, and he would arrive between eleven o'clock and twelve o'clock. Cheng Lin replied in the kitchen: "Don't worry. , brother, drive slowly, I'll wait, why don't you just go home? I'll pack it up and I'll be back after twelve o'clock."
Ren An replied, "I'll pick you up, and I'll drop by."
Cheng Lin happily put away his mobile phone, and gave an extra meat dish to the new wave of guests.
Ten o'clock passed quickly, and the number of customers decreased significantly intermittently. Cheng Lin began to tidy up and kept looking at the clock on the wall. Finally, it was 10:30, and finally eleven o'clock.Cheng Lin put up a "resting" sign, lying on the table by the door alone, fiddling with the mobile phone in his hand, playing music for a while, feeling noisy, and went to the door to get some air.I really wanted to send a text message to ask where Ren An had gone, but I was afraid that it would be inconvenient and unsafe for Ren An to look at his mobile phone while driving, so he endured it, glanced at the second hand and walked past each other, tearing open a bag of Ren An from the United States. The snacks I bought, I eat them with a bang.
When it was almost twelve o'clock, the street outside had already calmed down, most of the nearby shops were closed, and few pedestrians passed by.It's just that in an inconspicuous narrow alley, with the flickering red dots of lit cigarettes, Han Dong in the shadows leaned against the wall, looking at the small Mala Tang shop that was still lit from a distance.
Han Dong hesitated, struggled, and finally decided to let Cheng Lin disappear from this world. Whether it is for the living or the dead, this is probably the best ending. Sacrifice Cheng Lin alone and let the remaining All the people under it live in peace.Han Dong didn't feel timid. He dared to stab someone who insulted his mother with a knife a few years ago. The pleasure of revenge and the gushing blood made him very excited. This world is a world where the weak prey on the strong, and you will win if you figure it out , I can't figure it out, you deserve to come to this world in vain, and you can only blame your fate by accident.
Han Dong became murderous. As for the reason, it was not only because of Cheng Lin's apology for him back then, but another more terrifying reality.
Han Dong saw the words "Xiangyang Manor" in Cheng Lin's store that day, and he always felt something strange in his vague memory. He seemed to have forgotten something very important. Suspicious, Han Dong went back and searched for this by himself. The information on the manor was found to be owned by a prominent family named Xiang. Han Dong investigated carefully and found a name called "Xiang Tao". The long-dormant memory of Han Dong's childhood was finally like a beast. Awakening, the overwhelming fear and panic made him barely able to breathe. He seemed to have sensed the core secret of those hidden years, an invisible secret mixed with revenge and hatred.
Han Dong has already met many people through Wang Wei's circle. The rich and powerful circles say they are big or small, and they can always find out some gossip.Han Dong knew that Xiang Tao once had an only son, but he was lost by accident many years ago, and has not been found for so many years, but the family has never given up and is still looking for it.Han Dong also knew that Xiang Tao and his wife Yang Man had a good relationship with Ren An's family, and Ren An called them godfather and godmother.After contacting the "Xiangyang Manor" that appeared in Cheng Lin's shop, Han Dong concluded that Cheng Lin and Xiang Tao's family had already been in close contact, but neither of them had discovered that relationship. Because of a certain chance, he will be noticed, just like he was aware of it by accident.
The reason why Han Dong guessed it was because he remembered that when he was a child, his mother was drunk and drunk, and his words were obviously out of control. There was a thunderstorm outside that day, and his mother pointed to a shivering little boy under the eaves opposite the door and laughed wildly: "Look at that beggar, no matter how great and capable his parents are, his child has become a beggar, yes! I stole him from Xiangyang Manor! I want their son to become a vagabond. If you don't wear enough clothes, you will be a servant for the rest of your life! You can't hold your head up and be a man for the rest of your life!"
At that time, Han Dong was lying on his stomach writing homework for elementary school students under the dim light. He had long been used to his mother's drunken talk, and he heard these unusual remarks, so he looked up at the children under the eaves opposite the door.The child was thin and small, with his knees curled up against the corner of the wall, without shoes, and the short eaves could not cover the rain at all. His whole body was already soaked, and he stared at the heavy rain numbly.
Han Dong withdrew his gaze and looked at his crazy mother. He had been quite scheming since he was a child, and automatically erased his mother's words from his memory as if he hadn't heard them.But later, for some unknown reason, the mother took the homeless child home, gave him food, gave him old clothes to wear, and sent him to school.
The child was a bit silly when he first came to the house. The mother said that the child fell ill some time ago and had a high fever for several days beside the trash can.Han Dong grew up alone, and he suddenly had a younger brother. He was still a little excited, and would order food for the silly-eyed child when he was eating.However, his kindness was quickly scolded by his mother. She said that the family is not rich, and it would be nice to share a portion of the food for the little beggar. There is no need to take special care of him. His mother asked Han Dong to treat the child as a servant and as inferior servant.
Han Dong is ignorant of the deformed world of adults, but he vaguely feels that it is best not to ask about many things, not to delve into it, as long as it is good for himself and his mother, life is already poor enough, and he can't make trouble for himself.
Except for that time of getting drunk, my mother seemed to have become very restrained, and never mentioned anything. Only in the last period of critical illness, my mother kind of sent Cheng Lin out after buying medicine, and said to Han Dong: "You want to live as an adult. Venerable Master, when I was young, I worked as a nanny in a family. The life of a wealthy family, food and clothing, we can hardly imagine. You have to work hard so that your child will live in the upper class as soon as he is born. Here, you don't need to look at people's faces, and you don't need to worry about money."
Now all the signs are connected, and the truth of what happened back then can already be outlined.The mother who used to be a nanny at Xiang Tao’s family was overwhelmed with anger for some reason, and she had the idea of revenge. She secretly took away the only son of Xiang Tao’s family, and took the child to a remote small town under her name, and threw him on the street. Wandering, I don't know what idea came up afterwards, adopted the child with high fever and amnesia, and raised the child as a servant to support the family.
Han Dong wanted to understand the ins and outs of the matter, but he felt chills in his heart. He felt a little pity for Cheng Lin. Cheng Lin had grown up pure and kind for so many years. He felt that his mother adopted him and gave him food. I earn money and return it to my family, and I never complain.Who would have thought that his origin and experience would have such a secret?
But he pities Cheng Lin, who will pity him and his lonely mother all his life?There is closeness in everything, and good and evil have a back row in front of blood relationship.Han Dong was a little thankful that he was the only one who discovered the truth so far. He thought about the terrible consequences if things were revealed, and shuddered.All he has in this world is his dead mother and his bright future, once Cheng Lin is recognized by Xiang Tao's family, his mother will become a heinous human trafficker, and he will be an accomplice , so everything in the past has been bottomed out and pursued. With the strength of the Xiang family, he is completely finished.
He dared to watch Cheng Lin fall into the water, so he dared to create a second accident.
Han Dong secretly contacted a driver, agreed on the time and place, and negotiated with the driver. After bumping into someone, he doesn't have to escape. It should be treated as a traffic accident. Losing money, as long as he has money, human life is also a matter of clearly marked prices.
Cheng Lin, who was waiting for Ren An with joy, did not know that there was a venomous snake-like gaze in the dark corner. At a quarter past twelve, Ren An called and said that he would arrive at a traffic light. Cheng Lin got up quickly and said: "Brother, you don't need to turn around. I've packed it up and locked the door right away. I'll wait for you across the road."
I don’t know if Cheng Lin was a little too excited. When he locked the door, the lock suddenly didn’t work well. He twisted it hard several times. After a little delay, he finally clicked the lock smoothly. When he turned around, he heard the car The sound of driving was coming, and it was indeed Ren An who came.
Ren An opened the car door and got out of the car, Cheng Lin smiled and stepped onto the road to run over.
In just a short while, a car driving quietly not far away suddenly drove towards Cheng Lin with its high beams on, and Cheng Lin seemed to be instantly blinded by the light. He pushed away fiercely, and he heard a loud noise and screeching brakes. When he opened his eyes again in astonishment, he saw Ren An rolling a dozen meters away in front of the bright headlights, and laying on the ground when he stopped. I can't move.
Cheng Lin ran to Ren An's side and saw the bright red blood slowly flowing into a pool from the back of Ren An's neck. Cheng Lin broke down and shouted: "Brother!"
The memory after that is almost chaotic and chaotic. The driver who caused the accident also came over, and there were a few passers-by. Some called 110, some called 120. Cheng Lin stared straight at Ren An's blood-stained face with his eyes closed until he got on the road. The ambulance was still a little bit stunned, Ren An was pushed directly to the emergency room for rescue, Cheng Lin knelt down at the door as if he lost his strength, and called his godmother with shaking hands.
The godmother was also surprised, and rushed over quickly. There was also a middle-aged man, who should be the husband of the godmother, who saw Cheng Lin's bloodstained body. I was too scared to cry, and said: "Godmother, I was about to cross the road, Brother Ren An was standing across the street, suddenly a car rushed over, brother pushed me away, and I was hit."
The godmother kept looking anxiously at the door of the emergency department. His husband, Xiang Tao, was silent for a moment, looked at Cheng Lin, and said to the godmother, "Let's contact Ren An's family first."
The godmother also glanced at Cheng Lin helplessly, and said, "Of course we have to contact, let's hear the result first, or you can contact the hospital experts first, and invite a few gentlemen to come over. I just asked, it may be a brain injury."
Xiang Tao nodded and turned to make a call. The godmother sighed and patted Cheng Lin's shoulder with red eyes, but she couldn't say any words of comfort.The godmother has always regarded Ren An as her own son, and Ren An has been her support and sustenance these years. She is a good person, and she couldn't bear such a serious car accident unexpectedly.
Soon, Ren An's family arrived, and the first ones were Ren An's parents and grandfather. Cheng Lin had seen Ren An's mother and grandfather, but he couldn't raise his eyes to meet the eyes of Ren An's family. Cheng Lin who was at the door asked with a stern expression: "What's going on! How could there be a car accident!"
Cheng Lin choked up and repeated what he had just said to his godmother. The godmother frowned and hesitated to speak. Before Cheng Lin finished speaking, Ren An's mother had already slapped her across the face.
Cheng Lin was staggered by the beating. He leaned against the wall and stood upright with his head down, but he heard Grandpa Ren An's furious voice scolded: "I knew you would be a disaster! A guy with a mother but no mother can do it!" What a good man! Do you think you don’t even know your criminal record? You can stab someone with a knife at a young age! Ren An was blinded and deceived by you! If it weren’t for you, no one would come home in the middle of the night. Can be hit by a car! How can you still stand here! Get out! Get out of here!"
The godmother stood aside, and when she heard the grandfather scolding the words "A mother was born but not a mother", she felt a sharp pain in her heart. Seeing Cheng Lin's pale face trembling all over, she explained: "Uncle, it's a Unexpectedly, he was also worried."
Ren An's mother was not happy, and she yelled at her godmother: "How much do you want to meddle in our family's affairs? Ren An was instigated by you to ruin it. , can you be responsible? Why are you responsible? You can’t even look after your own children, and you still want to treat Ren Anzhen as your own son! You can’t escape responsibility for what happened today, so just turn a blind eye and close your eyes. You know him What kind of person do you support them in dating? He is a criminal with a criminal record! What do you think he can do? You still encourage and support! Why do you!"
It seems to be a conflict that has been grudges for a long time. When everyone's nerves are tense and the most sensitive, they can't handle it all at once. Ren An's mother is completely rude when she talks to the godmother, and every sentence hurts her heart, and the godmother's face becomes pale. Pale, Xiang Tao supported his wife and said, "Everyone calm down, the experts are rushing here, let's pay attention to Ren An's situation first."
Grandpa Ren An pointed at Cheng Lin and said, "Let him go."
Cheng Lin looked at his godmother helplessly, and his grandfather yelled angrily, "Get lost!"
Cheng Lin trembled in fright, as if nailed in place, motionless, looking at the door of the emergency operating room with red eyes.Xiang Tao helped the godmother who was crying silently to sit on the bench, came over and took Cheng Lin's arm, and whispered: "You should go to the corridor next to it first."
Cheng Lin nodded, and walked outside in a nonchalant manner. When he was almost at the corner, he saw an old gentleman walking towards him. Cheng Lin knew him. It was Grandpa Ren An.
Cheng Lin heard his grandfather rushing to the door of the emergency room and shouting anxiously to the family members: "Where's An An? He just took me home, how could there be a car accident? What's going on!"
Cheng Lin's back felt cold, and he slipped to the ground covering his face, sobbing in pain.
Cheng Lin didn't leave, Ren An was still lying in the operating room with unknown life and death, how could he leave.Cheng Lin sat down on the corner of the corner, waiting for news from Ren An motionless. At dawn, the door of the operating room finally opened. Cheng Lin jumped up from the ground when he heard the noise, and ran towards the door. Without approaching, the godmother standing on the outermost edge held her arm silently, and the godmother whispered tiredly: "Don't move forward."
Ren An's family members stood in front and asked about the situation, but did not pay special attention to Cheng Lin. The doctor said that his life was not in danger for the time being, but there was blood congestion in his brain. He had to continue to observe, and he might not wake up so quickly.
The godmother took advantage of everyone's attention to ask the doctor, gave her husband Xiang Tao a look, pulled Cheng Lin out, and went to the small garden outside the hospital, sighed again, and said: " You have seen and heard what is going on, listen to what the godmother says, go back and wait, if there is any news, the godmother will inform you as soon as possible, don't conflict with Ren An's family for the time being, they are also worried about Ren An, and they will say nothing When talking, if you really get impulsive, it will be even worse for you and Ren An. Go home and change your clothes, and wait for the news."
Cheng Lin nodded numbly, the godmother patted Cheng Lin on the shoulder, got up and went back to the hospital building.
Brother is still awake, how can he leave.
Cheng Lin sat down on a bench in the small garden at the corner of the hospital, and stayed there for two days and two nights without eating or drinking.Taking advantage of the dead of night, he secretly went to the nurse's station to inquire about the situation. A head nurse saw that he looked haggard and pitiful, so she silently shook her head as a response.With a frustrated face, Cheng Lin begged the head nurse if he could borrow a charger. He was afraid that he would miss his godmother's contact number. What if Ren An woke up at a certain moment?
The head nurse was present on the day when Ren An delivered it, and she also heard about Cheng Lin being accused and abused. With her insight into the world, she basically guessed what happened. Looking at Cheng Lin's humble begging eyes, she nodded in agreement.
Cheng Lin received a little kindness from the stranger, and his eyes were sore again. He was afraid of meeting Ren An's family, so he went back to the outdoor corner again, staring straight at the ground like a wooden man, simmering for a minute and a second. time.
What should I do if I can't wake up?Cheng Lin thought, he must die together.
At noon on the third day, Cheng Lin fell to the ground under the bright autumn sun, and was taken to the emergency department by the hospital staff. past.The godmother rushed over and looked at Cheng Lin, who was lying on the hospital bed with a high fever. He was already skinny, and he seemed to have lost his human form in the past two days. Thinking about the worrying future of these two children, the godmother felt very uncomfortable , Wiping the corners of his eyes, he got up and went to Cheng Lin to go through the hospitalization procedures.
Xiang Tao also came over later, sat in Cheng Lin's ward with his godmother, and asked, "Is this the child you mentioned?"
The godmother nodded and sighed.Xiang Tao patted his wife's hand and comforted him: "Don't sigh, you have sighed enough these days, do your best and obey the destiny, you will be safe."
The godmother looked at Cheng Lin who was lying quietly, and said: "I feel uncomfortable, and Xiao Lin is the same. He hasn't been well since he was a child. When he grows up, An An loves him. He regards An An as if he is the sky. According to the nurse, The child stayed outside the hospital for two days by himself, without eating or drinking, and sneaked in to inquire about the situation when no one was around."
Xiang Tao hugged his wife's shoulders and said: "The Ren An family members are very emotional. It's better to talk about it when you wake up. You can't tell what's going on before you wake up. If the child is still dangling in front of your eyes, it's not about the gun. Hit it, when he wakes up, let him stay at our house for a few days."
The godmother nodded, wiped her tears, and said, "Let's go and see An'an."
Cheng Lin woke up in the evening, saw the godmother sitting by the bed, and asked hoarsely: "Godmother? Is my brother awake?"
The godmother shook her head silently, poured a glass of water for Cheng Lin, and said, "He didn't wake up, you boiled yourself down first."
Cheng Lin looked at the ceiling and said, "I'm still awake, godmother, what should I do?"
The godmother said: "Take care of your body and don't think too much when he wakes up. The doctor said that the signs of life are very stable."
Cheng Lin nodded, struggled to sit up, and said with water in his eyes, "Thank you godmother."
The godmother asked Cheng Lin for advice and wanted to take Cheng Lin home to live in. Cheng Lin hesitated, and the godmother said: "Listen to the godmother, you have to think about the future, think about how the two of them will face each other after Ren An wakes up. Things at home and outside."
Cheng Lin's eyes were red again, and he nodded silently.The godmother got up to go through the formalities for him. Cheng Lin couldn't let Ren An go. He checked the time. It was already past the visiting time. Cheng Lin thought about going to the nurse's station to inquire about the news. Ann is the closest distance.
It's just that I didn't expect to meet Grandpa Ren An face to face in the corridor.Seeing that Cheng Lin still dared to come closer, Grandpa was so angry that he slammed his cane on the ground a few times, as if he was about to lift it up and hit Cheng Lin on the head. He angrily said, "How dare you have the face!" As soon as the words fell, the grandfather clutched his heart in pain and fell to the ground. The entourage's face changed with fright, and they hurriedly called for the medical staff.
Grandpa was worried about his grandson these days. He became sick from overwork and suffered a serious heart attack. He was sent directly to the intensive care unit.Cheng Lin stood there like a sinner, once again bearing the accusations of Ren An's family, Ren An's mother scolded unceremoniously: "Do you want our family to be ruined? How much money can I give you to disappear! You say, I will go bankrupt!" for you!"
Cheng Lin cried and leaned against the wall, without a word of excuse.He knew that Ren An's family's love and concern for Ren An were real, even if they had different opinions, even if there were disputes and prejudices, the concerns among blood relatives were all real.
Now, he has caused Ren An to be involved in a car accident, and made his grandfather mad at him.
The godmother forcibly took Cheng Lin home, who was about to collapse, and tidied up a comfortable guest room for Cheng Lin to rest. Her husband Xiang Tao even warmed a glass of rice wine for Cheng Lin, persuading him in a manly way. : "What's the use of crying? Cultivate enough energy and think of a way. Since ancient times, sincerity is as good as gold and stone, and it is a man who carries it over."
Cheng Lin thanked him and drank the glass of wine in one gulp.
The godmother got news from the hospital that Ren An's condition was improving, and the blood congestion in his brain was slowly absorbing. It didn't seem to affect much, and he probably woke up soon. The godmother comforted Cheng Lin and said, "Ren An is your backbone. , as long as he wakes up safely, as long as the two of you are of the same mind, there will be no obstacle you can't overcome."
Cheng Lin nodded, but thinking about his grandfather who was still in the intensive care unit, he was no longer confident.
On the fourth night of Ren An's coma, Cheng Lin suddenly received a call from Chen Min. Chen Min asked anxiously, "Are you in the hospital? Can you come here?"
Cheng Lin vaguely had a bad premonition, and asked what was wrong, Chen Min was silent for a while, and said, "Come here first."
Cheng Lin hurried to the shop and went to have a look. Chen Min was standing by the door, blocking the glass door of the shop with a big rain cloth. Cheng Lin asked, "What's wrong?" Then he walked forward and lifted the blue rain cloth Checked, looked, and was stunned.
Words were written on the glass door with spray paint:
"gay"
"gay"
"HIV carrier"
"AIDS patient"
"Whoever eats will get sick"
Chen Min said: "Everyone has been busy running to the hospital for the past few days, but this side has been negligent. I just heard from my classmates today that it seems that I was sprayed last night."
Someone from the store next to him came out to look, stared at Cheng Lin with disgust, poured a basin of water over here, and passers-by pointed at the store.Chen Min said: "The police have been called, but someone posted it on the Internet, and it may be a bit big."
Cheng Lin choked up and said, "I have a health certificate, and all the certificates in the store are complete. How... how can I spit blood?"
With trembling hands, he took out his phone and searched several pages, as well as the official account of the small shop. He questioned and abused all of them. Seeing the vicious words, Cheng Lin trembled all over, and tears rolled down his face.
The reputation of doing business is the most important thing, Cheng Lin is almost certain that the future of the small shop has been ruined.People's words are terrifying, and everyone's words make money. He has no chance to turn the tables.
Chen Min also sighed, and said, "I wiped it but it didn't come off, why don't you remove the door panel first?"
Cheng Lin nodded, wiped away his tears, pulled away the rain cloth, and together with Chen Min, removed the door panel first.
Chen Min tentatively asked while working: "Are you okay?"
Cheng Lin shook his head and said, "As long as my brother wakes up quickly, it's fine."
Chen Min hummed, and cheered up: "Be strong."
The matter was still fermented on the Internet, together with the hot discussion posts when the store opened before, all of them were found out by interested people.The owner of the shop is a gay guy, so his target will naturally be noticed, especially Ren An who was fired some time ago.Many people suspect that the owner of the small shop has an unclean disease. After all, there have been many negative topics about homosexual love. Many people have followed the clues and said that Ren An's family background is prominent, and his private life is chaotic. Men and women take all. He has been ill for a long time and has been in the hospital recently. Treatment, can't get better.
Cheng Lin saw the crazy increase in topics and popularity, and felt even more panicked. During this period, Daewoo comforted him that Ren An's family and the godmother's family could be smoothed over. Cheng Lin also saw some excessive topics being deleted one after another.But in today's society, who can believe that the clean is self-cleaning, even if all the topics are eliminated, the caring people around Ren An may seize the talk, and Ren An will face many gossip in the days to come.
Ren An gave himself the warmest and most beautiful thing in the world, and he was Ren An's disaster star.
Finally, the door panel was removed, and a wooden board was found to block the door. Cheng Lin sat on a stool in the small shop in a daze, accompanied by Chen Min, and the big boy couldn't say much to comfort him, he just said: "It's not your fault, The police will investigate nearby surveillance."
Cheng Lin nodded.After bidding farewell to Chen Min and going back to the godmother, the godmother went to the hospital, Xiang Tao opened the door for Cheng Lin, saw Cheng Lin's expression was wrong, asked if something happened, Cheng Lin shook his head, and entered the room in silence.
Fortunately, the godmother finally brought good news. Ren An was sober for a short time today. The doctor said that there is basically no serious problem, and there will be no sequelae. He should be sober soon.
Cheng Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and the godmother prepared some digestible supper for Cheng Lin, and said, "Go home tomorrow and bring some replacement clothes for Ren An, adjust your mentality, and eat something."
Cheng Lin sat in the dining room and quietly ate the meal prepared by his godmother. After eating, he cleaned the tableware and put them away. When he passed by the living room, he saw an open photo album on the coffee table. Cheng Lin glanced at it out of the corner of his eye. attract attention.
It was a photo of a family of three, with a young godmother and her husband on it, and a cute boy of two or three years old sitting on the godmother's lap.
Cheng Lin withdrew his eyes with a heavy heart. When he passed by the godmother's bedroom and returned to the house, he heard the godmother sobbing to her husband in a low voice: "She said that I didn't even look after my own child. She was right. What right do I have to control others? What about my own child? Who cares about my own child? I don't even know where he is! I'm a sinner! A sinner!"
Cheng Lin paused, thinking about all kinds of things, understanding some things, thinking about the kindness and kindness of the godmother, feeling so sorry for the godmother that his heart hurts, standing in the corridor through the door panel, standing there in silence, tears It seemed to be falling out of control.There are so many joys and sorrows in the world, why do they always torture these kind-hearted people.
That night, Cheng Lin thought about the photos on the tea table of his godmother, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Thinking of his godmother being scolded by Ren An's mother pointing at the pain in order to protect him, Cheng Lin felt even more guilty, feeling that he had hurt his godmother and lost his child , What a sad scar it must be, suddenly being accused of being sarcastic, how painful it is for the godmother.The more Cheng Lin thought about it, the more he felt sorry for the godmother. He got up early the next morning and made breakfast for the godmother's family. Seeing that the godmother and Uncle Xiang hadn't woken up yet, he left a note saying that he would go to Ren An's house to get clothes first. up.
Xiang Tao got up in the morning and saw the breakfast was ready, called his wife to come over, tasted it, and said: "The craftsmanship is not inferior to yours."
The godmother looked at the note Cheng Lin left on the table, and a rare smile appeared on her face, and she said: "The food he cooks is very suitable for my taste, this child, you have a heart."
After hearing the news that Ren An was fine, Cheng Lin's mood calmed down somewhat. Although the spray paint in the shop and the Internet turmoil did not subside, Cheng Lin thought that as long as everyone was fine, everything else could start all over again.He also hadn't returned home for several days, and to be honest, he was a little scared, afraid that he would be more likely to have a mental breakdown in a space full of Ren An's figure and aura.
Cheng Lin opened the door of the house, and suddenly saw a pair of unfamiliar sneakers at the entrance. Cheng Lin entered the room nervously, and suddenly a man with glasses walked out of the bedroom. I was a little surprised, but I greeted him politely and said, "Hi, are you living with Ren An? I'm Zhuang Jie. I'm here to bring some clothes for Ren An."
Cheng Lin recognized the man with Harvard glasses whom he had glimpsed at the airport. Cheng Lin hurriedly replied, "Hello." .It was only when I pressed the elevator that I thought, why did I leave, isn't that my and Ren An's home?
Cheng Lin lowered his head, thinking in frustration, if Ren An is not here, how could there be room for him in that house?Everyone is more qualified than him and has a reason to be there, but he is the only one who shouldn't exist.Cheng Lin thought of Zhuang Jie's polite and dignified appearance just now, and felt more and more disappointed. He felt that he and Ren An really seemed to be people from two worlds.
That afternoon, it started to rain again. Cheng Lin still went to the hospital and hid in a corner silently waiting for the good news from Ren An. At night, the light rain turned into moderate rain and then turned into heavy rain, and the cold air spread to the corners of the hospital. After falling, Cheng Lin shuddered several times, and his fingers holding the phone were a little stiff from the cold.
He didn't receive a call from Ren An waking up, but unexpectedly received a call from the landlord of the store. The landlord said bluntly on the phone: "Come over right away."
After all, it was a small shop built by himself and Ren An. Bad things had already happened. Cheng Lin really didn't want more extreme things to happen. He responded politely to the landlord, saying that he would be there right away.
But things were beyond Cheng Lin's expectation. When Cheng Lin arrived, he found that the temporary door panel of the small store had been removed. The cheerful landlord who was originally quite talkative gathered in the store with a group of people. He scolded Cheng Lin when he saw Cheng Lin pointing his nose. Said: "You sick gay guy still dare to open a restaurant? You are anti-human! Throw them all out! I sue you, I don't ask you to pay for my reputation! Don't even want to get back the rent! Damn, I How to rent the house in the future! I’ve sprayed disinfectant hundreds of times and I think it’s dirty, get out! Brothers, throw all his things out for me, don’t forget to bring extra layers of gloves!”
Seeing them, Cheng Lin started to throw things out, hurriedly stopped and pointed to various certificates on the wall, and said: "I apply for a health certificate, and the procedures are all legal and complete. You can't do this!"
The landlord scolded: "Get out, be careful to warn you of falsifying certificates!" As he said that, he pushed Cheng Lin out. Seeing that Cheng Lin wanted to get up and rush in, the neighbors simply kicked him into the rain.
A group of people hurriedly threw out all the tables and chairs in the store, as well as the pots and pans in the back kitchen, and even the refrigerator and air conditioner sent by the godmother were dragged and smashed outside the store. In the heavy rain.The small shop that was painstakingly managed was completely destroyed in just a short moment.
Cheng Lin watched in despair as they removed the "Xiaodai Malatang" sign, threw it on the ground and kicked it viciously, the good sign was shattered to pieces.
Many pedestrians passing by held umbrellas and stopped to watch. In the coffee shop opposite, someone was holding a mobile phone to record video. Slowly, many people surrounded him. There were some students who had eaten in Cheng Lin’s shop before. They really couldn’t see it, and whispered : "Call the police." Another girl quietly approached Cheng Lin and held an umbrella for the peddler who fell to the ground and cried.
Cheng Lin, however, could no longer perceive those small acts of kindness. He returned to the rainstorm night when he first met Ren An in a daze. go.It's just why the rain is so cold now.
Cheng Lin staggered to his feet, and looked back at all the belongings that were drenched in the rainstorm. He didn't even have a place to put them, so where should he put them?Is he starting with nothing and going back to nothing?
Cheng Lin wiped the rain from his face, thinking: "No, there is still Ren An, brother is waiting for him."
Cheng Lin ran towards the hospital and stopped a taxi that was willing to take him after running for several streets. The driver said, "There is
As a considerate author, after thinking about it, I don’t want to torture everyone’s little heart more and more every day. I spent a whole day scattering the glass shards to make everyone feel refreshed.
Dear friends, hold on, think about the bright future again!The car didn't even drive, did it?To look forward to ah!
This is really a season of autumn rain and cold, Cheng Lin thought that he would have to wait a whole day to wait for Ren An, and he was definitely in a mood of ups and downs and couldn't do anything, so he simply kept himself busier and forced himself Turning around makes time go faster.A few days ago, he researched the new winter hot drink, and posted an advertisement on the official account, saying that today's new product promotion is [-]% off, and Malatang can also get [-]% off. He also wrote an advertisement on the small blackboard at the door. Many people who are free The old customers are very supportive, and the passenger flow is obviously much more than usual. Cheng Lin is as busy as a spinning top as he wished, and his attention is a little distracted. He is the shadow of Ren An when he doesn't open or close his eyes anymore, but he still miscalculated three times For the account, the mala tang was cooked twice.
The daytime in late autumn obviously became shorter, and when the sky gradually darkened, there was another wave of dinner peaks. Chen Min, who was passing by after playing, went into the store to take a look, helped Cheng Lin for an hour, and was called to a dinner party by his friends , Cheng Lin sent Chen Min out with a smile, and Chen Min asked, "Ren An coming back tonight?"
Cheng Lin couldn't help showing off his smile, and said, "Yes, my brother said he would pick me up later, but he just sent a message saying he's already on his way back."
Chen Min patted the basketball in his hand twice with a smile, and said, "Look at you, you told Ren An that you owed me too much labor fees, and asked him to pay it back quickly."
"Hey, of course, Brother Chen Min, I must remind him." Cheng Lin smiled happily, waved goodbye to Chen Min, and returned to the store humming a little song.
Ren An sent several messages on the way, saying that he had a dinner with his grandfather on the way, and there was a slight delay, and he would arrive between eleven o'clock and twelve o'clock. Cheng Lin replied in the kitchen: "Don't worry. , brother, drive slowly, I'll wait, why don't you just go home? I'll pack it up and I'll be back after twelve o'clock."
Ren An replied, "I'll pick you up, and I'll drop by."
Cheng Lin happily put away his mobile phone, and gave an extra meat dish to the new wave of guests.
Ten o'clock passed quickly, and the number of customers decreased significantly intermittently. Cheng Lin began to tidy up and kept looking at the clock on the wall. Finally, it was 10:30, and finally eleven o'clock.Cheng Lin put up a "resting" sign, lying on the table by the door alone, fiddling with the mobile phone in his hand, playing music for a while, feeling noisy, and went to the door to get some air.I really wanted to send a text message to ask where Ren An had gone, but I was afraid that it would be inconvenient and unsafe for Ren An to look at his mobile phone while driving, so he endured it, glanced at the second hand and walked past each other, tearing open a bag of Ren An from the United States. The snacks I bought, I eat them with a bang.
When it was almost twelve o'clock, the street outside had already calmed down, most of the nearby shops were closed, and few pedestrians passed by.It's just that in an inconspicuous narrow alley, with the flickering red dots of lit cigarettes, Han Dong in the shadows leaned against the wall, looking at the small Mala Tang shop that was still lit from a distance.
Han Dong hesitated, struggled, and finally decided to let Cheng Lin disappear from this world. Whether it is for the living or the dead, this is probably the best ending. Sacrifice Cheng Lin alone and let the remaining All the people under it live in peace.Han Dong didn't feel timid. He dared to stab someone who insulted his mother with a knife a few years ago. The pleasure of revenge and the gushing blood made him very excited. This world is a world where the weak prey on the strong, and you will win if you figure it out , I can't figure it out, you deserve to come to this world in vain, and you can only blame your fate by accident.
Han Dong became murderous. As for the reason, it was not only because of Cheng Lin's apology for him back then, but another more terrifying reality.
Han Dong saw the words "Xiangyang Manor" in Cheng Lin's store that day, and he always felt something strange in his vague memory. He seemed to have forgotten something very important. Suspicious, Han Dong went back and searched for this by himself. The information on the manor was found to be owned by a prominent family named Xiang. Han Dong investigated carefully and found a name called "Xiang Tao". The long-dormant memory of Han Dong's childhood was finally like a beast. Awakening, the overwhelming fear and panic made him barely able to breathe. He seemed to have sensed the core secret of those hidden years, an invisible secret mixed with revenge and hatred.
Han Dong has already met many people through Wang Wei's circle. The rich and powerful circles say they are big or small, and they can always find out some gossip.Han Dong knew that Xiang Tao once had an only son, but he was lost by accident many years ago, and has not been found for so many years, but the family has never given up and is still looking for it.Han Dong also knew that Xiang Tao and his wife Yang Man had a good relationship with Ren An's family, and Ren An called them godfather and godmother.After contacting the "Xiangyang Manor" that appeared in Cheng Lin's shop, Han Dong concluded that Cheng Lin and Xiang Tao's family had already been in close contact, but neither of them had discovered that relationship. Because of a certain chance, he will be noticed, just like he was aware of it by accident.
The reason why Han Dong guessed it was because he remembered that when he was a child, his mother was drunk and drunk, and his words were obviously out of control. There was a thunderstorm outside that day, and his mother pointed to a shivering little boy under the eaves opposite the door and laughed wildly: "Look at that beggar, no matter how great and capable his parents are, his child has become a beggar, yes! I stole him from Xiangyang Manor! I want their son to become a vagabond. If you don't wear enough clothes, you will be a servant for the rest of your life! You can't hold your head up and be a man for the rest of your life!"
At that time, Han Dong was lying on his stomach writing homework for elementary school students under the dim light. He had long been used to his mother's drunken talk, and he heard these unusual remarks, so he looked up at the children under the eaves opposite the door.The child was thin and small, with his knees curled up against the corner of the wall, without shoes, and the short eaves could not cover the rain at all. His whole body was already soaked, and he stared at the heavy rain numbly.
Han Dong withdrew his gaze and looked at his crazy mother. He had been quite scheming since he was a child, and automatically erased his mother's words from his memory as if he hadn't heard them.But later, for some unknown reason, the mother took the homeless child home, gave him food, gave him old clothes to wear, and sent him to school.
The child was a bit silly when he first came to the house. The mother said that the child fell ill some time ago and had a high fever for several days beside the trash can.Han Dong grew up alone, and he suddenly had a younger brother. He was still a little excited, and would order food for the silly-eyed child when he was eating.However, his kindness was quickly scolded by his mother. She said that the family is not rich, and it would be nice to share a portion of the food for the little beggar. There is no need to take special care of him. His mother asked Han Dong to treat the child as a servant and as inferior servant.
Han Dong is ignorant of the deformed world of adults, but he vaguely feels that it is best not to ask about many things, not to delve into it, as long as it is good for himself and his mother, life is already poor enough, and he can't make trouble for himself.
Except for that time of getting drunk, my mother seemed to have become very restrained, and never mentioned anything. Only in the last period of critical illness, my mother kind of sent Cheng Lin out after buying medicine, and said to Han Dong: "You want to live as an adult. Venerable Master, when I was young, I worked as a nanny in a family. The life of a wealthy family, food and clothing, we can hardly imagine. You have to work hard so that your child will live in the upper class as soon as he is born. Here, you don't need to look at people's faces, and you don't need to worry about money."
Now all the signs are connected, and the truth of what happened back then can already be outlined.The mother who used to be a nanny at Xiang Tao’s family was overwhelmed with anger for some reason, and she had the idea of revenge. She secretly took away the only son of Xiang Tao’s family, and took the child to a remote small town under her name, and threw him on the street. Wandering, I don't know what idea came up afterwards, adopted the child with high fever and amnesia, and raised the child as a servant to support the family.
Han Dong wanted to understand the ins and outs of the matter, but he felt chills in his heart. He felt a little pity for Cheng Lin. Cheng Lin had grown up pure and kind for so many years. He felt that his mother adopted him and gave him food. I earn money and return it to my family, and I never complain.Who would have thought that his origin and experience would have such a secret?
But he pities Cheng Lin, who will pity him and his lonely mother all his life?There is closeness in everything, and good and evil have a back row in front of blood relationship.Han Dong was a little thankful that he was the only one who discovered the truth so far. He thought about the terrible consequences if things were revealed, and shuddered.All he has in this world is his dead mother and his bright future, once Cheng Lin is recognized by Xiang Tao's family, his mother will become a heinous human trafficker, and he will be an accomplice , so everything in the past has been bottomed out and pursued. With the strength of the Xiang family, he is completely finished.
He dared to watch Cheng Lin fall into the water, so he dared to create a second accident.
Han Dong secretly contacted a driver, agreed on the time and place, and negotiated with the driver. After bumping into someone, he doesn't have to escape. It should be treated as a traffic accident. Losing money, as long as he has money, human life is also a matter of clearly marked prices.
Cheng Lin, who was waiting for Ren An with joy, did not know that there was a venomous snake-like gaze in the dark corner. At a quarter past twelve, Ren An called and said that he would arrive at a traffic light. Cheng Lin got up quickly and said: "Brother, you don't need to turn around. I've packed it up and locked the door right away. I'll wait for you across the road."
I don’t know if Cheng Lin was a little too excited. When he locked the door, the lock suddenly didn’t work well. He twisted it hard several times. After a little delay, he finally clicked the lock smoothly. When he turned around, he heard the car The sound of driving was coming, and it was indeed Ren An who came.
Ren An opened the car door and got out of the car, Cheng Lin smiled and stepped onto the road to run over.
In just a short while, a car driving quietly not far away suddenly drove towards Cheng Lin with its high beams on, and Cheng Lin seemed to be instantly blinded by the light. He pushed away fiercely, and he heard a loud noise and screeching brakes. When he opened his eyes again in astonishment, he saw Ren An rolling a dozen meters away in front of the bright headlights, and laying on the ground when he stopped. I can't move.
Cheng Lin ran to Ren An's side and saw the bright red blood slowly flowing into a pool from the back of Ren An's neck. Cheng Lin broke down and shouted: "Brother!"
The memory after that is almost chaotic and chaotic. The driver who caused the accident also came over, and there were a few passers-by. Some called 110, some called 120. Cheng Lin stared straight at Ren An's blood-stained face with his eyes closed until he got on the road. The ambulance was still a little bit stunned, Ren An was pushed directly to the emergency room for rescue, Cheng Lin knelt down at the door as if he lost his strength, and called his godmother with shaking hands.
The godmother was also surprised, and rushed over quickly. There was also a middle-aged man, who should be the husband of the godmother, who saw Cheng Lin's bloodstained body. I was too scared to cry, and said: "Godmother, I was about to cross the road, Brother Ren An was standing across the street, suddenly a car rushed over, brother pushed me away, and I was hit."
The godmother kept looking anxiously at the door of the emergency department. His husband, Xiang Tao, was silent for a moment, looked at Cheng Lin, and said to the godmother, "Let's contact Ren An's family first."
The godmother also glanced at Cheng Lin helplessly, and said, "Of course we have to contact, let's hear the result first, or you can contact the hospital experts first, and invite a few gentlemen to come over. I just asked, it may be a brain injury."
Xiang Tao nodded and turned to make a call. The godmother sighed and patted Cheng Lin's shoulder with red eyes, but she couldn't say any words of comfort.The godmother has always regarded Ren An as her own son, and Ren An has been her support and sustenance these years. She is a good person, and she couldn't bear such a serious car accident unexpectedly.
Soon, Ren An's family arrived, and the first ones were Ren An's parents and grandfather. Cheng Lin had seen Ren An's mother and grandfather, but he couldn't raise his eyes to meet the eyes of Ren An's family. Cheng Lin who was at the door asked with a stern expression: "What's going on! How could there be a car accident!"
Cheng Lin choked up and repeated what he had just said to his godmother. The godmother frowned and hesitated to speak. Before Cheng Lin finished speaking, Ren An's mother had already slapped her across the face.
Cheng Lin was staggered by the beating. He leaned against the wall and stood upright with his head down, but he heard Grandpa Ren An's furious voice scolded: "I knew you would be a disaster! A guy with a mother but no mother can do it!" What a good man! Do you think you don’t even know your criminal record? You can stab someone with a knife at a young age! Ren An was blinded and deceived by you! If it weren’t for you, no one would come home in the middle of the night. Can be hit by a car! How can you still stand here! Get out! Get out of here!"
The godmother stood aside, and when she heard the grandfather scolding the words "A mother was born but not a mother", she felt a sharp pain in her heart. Seeing Cheng Lin's pale face trembling all over, she explained: "Uncle, it's a Unexpectedly, he was also worried."
Ren An's mother was not happy, and she yelled at her godmother: "How much do you want to meddle in our family's affairs? Ren An was instigated by you to ruin it. , can you be responsible? Why are you responsible? You can’t even look after your own children, and you still want to treat Ren Anzhen as your own son! You can’t escape responsibility for what happened today, so just turn a blind eye and close your eyes. You know him What kind of person do you support them in dating? He is a criminal with a criminal record! What do you think he can do? You still encourage and support! Why do you!"
It seems to be a conflict that has been grudges for a long time. When everyone's nerves are tense and the most sensitive, they can't handle it all at once. Ren An's mother is completely rude when she talks to the godmother, and every sentence hurts her heart, and the godmother's face becomes pale. Pale, Xiang Tao supported his wife and said, "Everyone calm down, the experts are rushing here, let's pay attention to Ren An's situation first."
Grandpa Ren An pointed at Cheng Lin and said, "Let him go."
Cheng Lin looked at his godmother helplessly, and his grandfather yelled angrily, "Get lost!"
Cheng Lin trembled in fright, as if nailed in place, motionless, looking at the door of the emergency operating room with red eyes.Xiang Tao helped the godmother who was crying silently to sit on the bench, came over and took Cheng Lin's arm, and whispered: "You should go to the corridor next to it first."
Cheng Lin nodded, and walked outside in a nonchalant manner. When he was almost at the corner, he saw an old gentleman walking towards him. Cheng Lin knew him. It was Grandpa Ren An.
Cheng Lin heard his grandfather rushing to the door of the emergency room and shouting anxiously to the family members: "Where's An An? He just took me home, how could there be a car accident? What's going on!"
Cheng Lin's back felt cold, and he slipped to the ground covering his face, sobbing in pain.
Cheng Lin didn't leave, Ren An was still lying in the operating room with unknown life and death, how could he leave.Cheng Lin sat down on the corner of the corner, waiting for news from Ren An motionless. At dawn, the door of the operating room finally opened. Cheng Lin jumped up from the ground when he heard the noise, and ran towards the door. Without approaching, the godmother standing on the outermost edge held her arm silently, and the godmother whispered tiredly: "Don't move forward."
Ren An's family members stood in front and asked about the situation, but did not pay special attention to Cheng Lin. The doctor said that his life was not in danger for the time being, but there was blood congestion in his brain. He had to continue to observe, and he might not wake up so quickly.
The godmother took advantage of everyone's attention to ask the doctor, gave her husband Xiang Tao a look, pulled Cheng Lin out, and went to the small garden outside the hospital, sighed again, and said: " You have seen and heard what is going on, listen to what the godmother says, go back and wait, if there is any news, the godmother will inform you as soon as possible, don't conflict with Ren An's family for the time being, they are also worried about Ren An, and they will say nothing When talking, if you really get impulsive, it will be even worse for you and Ren An. Go home and change your clothes, and wait for the news."
Cheng Lin nodded numbly, the godmother patted Cheng Lin on the shoulder, got up and went back to the hospital building.
Brother is still awake, how can he leave.
Cheng Lin sat down on a bench in the small garden at the corner of the hospital, and stayed there for two days and two nights without eating or drinking.Taking advantage of the dead of night, he secretly went to the nurse's station to inquire about the situation. A head nurse saw that he looked haggard and pitiful, so she silently shook her head as a response.With a frustrated face, Cheng Lin begged the head nurse if he could borrow a charger. He was afraid that he would miss his godmother's contact number. What if Ren An woke up at a certain moment?
The head nurse was present on the day when Ren An delivered it, and she also heard about Cheng Lin being accused and abused. With her insight into the world, she basically guessed what happened. Looking at Cheng Lin's humble begging eyes, she nodded in agreement.
Cheng Lin received a little kindness from the stranger, and his eyes were sore again. He was afraid of meeting Ren An's family, so he went back to the outdoor corner again, staring straight at the ground like a wooden man, simmering for a minute and a second. time.
What should I do if I can't wake up?Cheng Lin thought, he must die together.
At noon on the third day, Cheng Lin fell to the ground under the bright autumn sun, and was taken to the emergency department by the hospital staff. past.The godmother rushed over and looked at Cheng Lin, who was lying on the hospital bed with a high fever. He was already skinny, and he seemed to have lost his human form in the past two days. Thinking about the worrying future of these two children, the godmother felt very uncomfortable , Wiping the corners of his eyes, he got up and went to Cheng Lin to go through the hospitalization procedures.
Xiang Tao also came over later, sat in Cheng Lin's ward with his godmother, and asked, "Is this the child you mentioned?"
The godmother nodded and sighed.Xiang Tao patted his wife's hand and comforted him: "Don't sigh, you have sighed enough these days, do your best and obey the destiny, you will be safe."
The godmother looked at Cheng Lin who was lying quietly, and said: "I feel uncomfortable, and Xiao Lin is the same. He hasn't been well since he was a child. When he grows up, An An loves him. He regards An An as if he is the sky. According to the nurse, The child stayed outside the hospital for two days by himself, without eating or drinking, and sneaked in to inquire about the situation when no one was around."
Xiang Tao hugged his wife's shoulders and said: "The Ren An family members are very emotional. It's better to talk about it when you wake up. You can't tell what's going on before you wake up. If the child is still dangling in front of your eyes, it's not about the gun. Hit it, when he wakes up, let him stay at our house for a few days."
The godmother nodded, wiped her tears, and said, "Let's go and see An'an."
Cheng Lin woke up in the evening, saw the godmother sitting by the bed, and asked hoarsely: "Godmother? Is my brother awake?"
The godmother shook her head silently, poured a glass of water for Cheng Lin, and said, "He didn't wake up, you boiled yourself down first."
Cheng Lin looked at the ceiling and said, "I'm still awake, godmother, what should I do?"
The godmother said: "Take care of your body and don't think too much when he wakes up. The doctor said that the signs of life are very stable."
Cheng Lin nodded, struggled to sit up, and said with water in his eyes, "Thank you godmother."
The godmother asked Cheng Lin for advice and wanted to take Cheng Lin home to live in. Cheng Lin hesitated, and the godmother said: "Listen to the godmother, you have to think about the future, think about how the two of them will face each other after Ren An wakes up. Things at home and outside."
Cheng Lin's eyes were red again, and he nodded silently.The godmother got up to go through the formalities for him. Cheng Lin couldn't let Ren An go. He checked the time. It was already past the visiting time. Cheng Lin thought about going to the nurse's station to inquire about the news. Ann is the closest distance.
It's just that I didn't expect to meet Grandpa Ren An face to face in the corridor.Seeing that Cheng Lin still dared to come closer, Grandpa was so angry that he slammed his cane on the ground a few times, as if he was about to lift it up and hit Cheng Lin on the head. He angrily said, "How dare you have the face!" As soon as the words fell, the grandfather clutched his heart in pain and fell to the ground. The entourage's face changed with fright, and they hurriedly called for the medical staff.
Grandpa was worried about his grandson these days. He became sick from overwork and suffered a serious heart attack. He was sent directly to the intensive care unit.Cheng Lin stood there like a sinner, once again bearing the accusations of Ren An's family, Ren An's mother scolded unceremoniously: "Do you want our family to be ruined? How much money can I give you to disappear! You say, I will go bankrupt!" for you!"
Cheng Lin cried and leaned against the wall, without a word of excuse.He knew that Ren An's family's love and concern for Ren An were real, even if they had different opinions, even if there were disputes and prejudices, the concerns among blood relatives were all real.
Now, he has caused Ren An to be involved in a car accident, and made his grandfather mad at him.
The godmother forcibly took Cheng Lin home, who was about to collapse, and tidied up a comfortable guest room for Cheng Lin to rest. Her husband Xiang Tao even warmed a glass of rice wine for Cheng Lin, persuading him in a manly way. : "What's the use of crying? Cultivate enough energy and think of a way. Since ancient times, sincerity is as good as gold and stone, and it is a man who carries it over."
Cheng Lin thanked him and drank the glass of wine in one gulp.
The godmother got news from the hospital that Ren An's condition was improving, and the blood congestion in his brain was slowly absorbing. It didn't seem to affect much, and he probably woke up soon. The godmother comforted Cheng Lin and said, "Ren An is your backbone. , as long as he wakes up safely, as long as the two of you are of the same mind, there will be no obstacle you can't overcome."
Cheng Lin nodded, but thinking about his grandfather who was still in the intensive care unit, he was no longer confident.
On the fourth night of Ren An's coma, Cheng Lin suddenly received a call from Chen Min. Chen Min asked anxiously, "Are you in the hospital? Can you come here?"
Cheng Lin vaguely had a bad premonition, and asked what was wrong, Chen Min was silent for a while, and said, "Come here first."
Cheng Lin hurried to the shop and went to have a look. Chen Min was standing by the door, blocking the glass door of the shop with a big rain cloth. Cheng Lin asked, "What's wrong?" Then he walked forward and lifted the blue rain cloth Checked, looked, and was stunned.
Words were written on the glass door with spray paint:
"gay"
"gay"
"HIV carrier"
"AIDS patient"
"Whoever eats will get sick"
Chen Min said: "Everyone has been busy running to the hospital for the past few days, but this side has been negligent. I just heard from my classmates today that it seems that I was sprayed last night."
Someone from the store next to him came out to look, stared at Cheng Lin with disgust, poured a basin of water over here, and passers-by pointed at the store.Chen Min said: "The police have been called, but someone posted it on the Internet, and it may be a bit big."
Cheng Lin choked up and said, "I have a health certificate, and all the certificates in the store are complete. How... how can I spit blood?"
With trembling hands, he took out his phone and searched several pages, as well as the official account of the small shop. He questioned and abused all of them. Seeing the vicious words, Cheng Lin trembled all over, and tears rolled down his face.
The reputation of doing business is the most important thing, Cheng Lin is almost certain that the future of the small shop has been ruined.People's words are terrifying, and everyone's words make money. He has no chance to turn the tables.
Chen Min also sighed, and said, "I wiped it but it didn't come off, why don't you remove the door panel first?"
Cheng Lin nodded, wiped away his tears, pulled away the rain cloth, and together with Chen Min, removed the door panel first.
Chen Min tentatively asked while working: "Are you okay?"
Cheng Lin shook his head and said, "As long as my brother wakes up quickly, it's fine."
Chen Min hummed, and cheered up: "Be strong."
The matter was still fermented on the Internet, together with the hot discussion posts when the store opened before, all of them were found out by interested people.The owner of the shop is a gay guy, so his target will naturally be noticed, especially Ren An who was fired some time ago.Many people suspect that the owner of the small shop has an unclean disease. After all, there have been many negative topics about homosexual love. Many people have followed the clues and said that Ren An's family background is prominent, and his private life is chaotic. Men and women take all. He has been ill for a long time and has been in the hospital recently. Treatment, can't get better.
Cheng Lin saw the crazy increase in topics and popularity, and felt even more panicked. During this period, Daewoo comforted him that Ren An's family and the godmother's family could be smoothed over. Cheng Lin also saw some excessive topics being deleted one after another.But in today's society, who can believe that the clean is self-cleaning, even if all the topics are eliminated, the caring people around Ren An may seize the talk, and Ren An will face many gossip in the days to come.
Ren An gave himself the warmest and most beautiful thing in the world, and he was Ren An's disaster star.
Finally, the door panel was removed, and a wooden board was found to block the door. Cheng Lin sat on a stool in the small shop in a daze, accompanied by Chen Min, and the big boy couldn't say much to comfort him, he just said: "It's not your fault, The police will investigate nearby surveillance."
Cheng Lin nodded.After bidding farewell to Chen Min and going back to the godmother, the godmother went to the hospital, Xiang Tao opened the door for Cheng Lin, saw Cheng Lin's expression was wrong, asked if something happened, Cheng Lin shook his head, and entered the room in silence.
Fortunately, the godmother finally brought good news. Ren An was sober for a short time today. The doctor said that there is basically no serious problem, and there will be no sequelae. He should be sober soon.
Cheng Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and the godmother prepared some digestible supper for Cheng Lin, and said, "Go home tomorrow and bring some replacement clothes for Ren An, adjust your mentality, and eat something."
Cheng Lin sat in the dining room and quietly ate the meal prepared by his godmother. After eating, he cleaned the tableware and put them away. When he passed by the living room, he saw an open photo album on the coffee table. Cheng Lin glanced at it out of the corner of his eye. attract attention.
It was a photo of a family of three, with a young godmother and her husband on it, and a cute boy of two or three years old sitting on the godmother's lap.
Cheng Lin withdrew his eyes with a heavy heart. When he passed by the godmother's bedroom and returned to the house, he heard the godmother sobbing to her husband in a low voice: "She said that I didn't even look after my own child. She was right. What right do I have to control others? What about my own child? Who cares about my own child? I don't even know where he is! I'm a sinner! A sinner!"
Cheng Lin paused, thinking about all kinds of things, understanding some things, thinking about the kindness and kindness of the godmother, feeling so sorry for the godmother that his heart hurts, standing in the corridor through the door panel, standing there in silence, tears It seemed to be falling out of control.There are so many joys and sorrows in the world, why do they always torture these kind-hearted people.
That night, Cheng Lin thought about the photos on the tea table of his godmother, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Thinking of his godmother being scolded by Ren An's mother pointing at the pain in order to protect him, Cheng Lin felt even more guilty, feeling that he had hurt his godmother and lost his child , What a sad scar it must be, suddenly being accused of being sarcastic, how painful it is for the godmother.The more Cheng Lin thought about it, the more he felt sorry for the godmother. He got up early the next morning and made breakfast for the godmother's family. Seeing that the godmother and Uncle Xiang hadn't woken up yet, he left a note saying that he would go to Ren An's house to get clothes first. up.
Xiang Tao got up in the morning and saw the breakfast was ready, called his wife to come over, tasted it, and said: "The craftsmanship is not inferior to yours."
The godmother looked at the note Cheng Lin left on the table, and a rare smile appeared on her face, and she said: "The food he cooks is very suitable for my taste, this child, you have a heart."
After hearing the news that Ren An was fine, Cheng Lin's mood calmed down somewhat. Although the spray paint in the shop and the Internet turmoil did not subside, Cheng Lin thought that as long as everyone was fine, everything else could start all over again.He also hadn't returned home for several days, and to be honest, he was a little scared, afraid that he would be more likely to have a mental breakdown in a space full of Ren An's figure and aura.
Cheng Lin opened the door of the house, and suddenly saw a pair of unfamiliar sneakers at the entrance. Cheng Lin entered the room nervously, and suddenly a man with glasses walked out of the bedroom. I was a little surprised, but I greeted him politely and said, "Hi, are you living with Ren An? I'm Zhuang Jie. I'm here to bring some clothes for Ren An."
Cheng Lin recognized the man with Harvard glasses whom he had glimpsed at the airport. Cheng Lin hurriedly replied, "Hello." .It was only when I pressed the elevator that I thought, why did I leave, isn't that my and Ren An's home?
Cheng Lin lowered his head, thinking in frustration, if Ren An is not here, how could there be room for him in that house?Everyone is more qualified than him and has a reason to be there, but he is the only one who shouldn't exist.Cheng Lin thought of Zhuang Jie's polite and dignified appearance just now, and felt more and more disappointed. He felt that he and Ren An really seemed to be people from two worlds.
That afternoon, it started to rain again. Cheng Lin still went to the hospital and hid in a corner silently waiting for the good news from Ren An. At night, the light rain turned into moderate rain and then turned into heavy rain, and the cold air spread to the corners of the hospital. After falling, Cheng Lin shuddered several times, and his fingers holding the phone were a little stiff from the cold.
He didn't receive a call from Ren An waking up, but unexpectedly received a call from the landlord of the store. The landlord said bluntly on the phone: "Come over right away."
After all, it was a small shop built by himself and Ren An. Bad things had already happened. Cheng Lin really didn't want more extreme things to happen. He responded politely to the landlord, saying that he would be there right away.
But things were beyond Cheng Lin's expectation. When Cheng Lin arrived, he found that the temporary door panel of the small store had been removed. The cheerful landlord who was originally quite talkative gathered in the store with a group of people. He scolded Cheng Lin when he saw Cheng Lin pointing his nose. Said: "You sick gay guy still dare to open a restaurant? You are anti-human! Throw them all out! I sue you, I don't ask you to pay for my reputation! Don't even want to get back the rent! Damn, I How to rent the house in the future! I’ve sprayed disinfectant hundreds of times and I think it’s dirty, get out! Brothers, throw all his things out for me, don’t forget to bring extra layers of gloves!”
Seeing them, Cheng Lin started to throw things out, hurriedly stopped and pointed to various certificates on the wall, and said: "I apply for a health certificate, and the procedures are all legal and complete. You can't do this!"
The landlord scolded: "Get out, be careful to warn you of falsifying certificates!" As he said that, he pushed Cheng Lin out. Seeing that Cheng Lin wanted to get up and rush in, the neighbors simply kicked him into the rain.
A group of people hurriedly threw out all the tables and chairs in the store, as well as the pots and pans in the back kitchen, and even the refrigerator and air conditioner sent by the godmother were dragged and smashed outside the store. In the heavy rain.The small shop that was painstakingly managed was completely destroyed in just a short moment.
Cheng Lin watched in despair as they removed the "Xiaodai Malatang" sign, threw it on the ground and kicked it viciously, the good sign was shattered to pieces.
Many pedestrians passing by held umbrellas and stopped to watch. In the coffee shop opposite, someone was holding a mobile phone to record video. Slowly, many people surrounded him. There were some students who had eaten in Cheng Lin’s shop before. They really couldn’t see it, and whispered : "Call the police." Another girl quietly approached Cheng Lin and held an umbrella for the peddler who fell to the ground and cried.
Cheng Lin, however, could no longer perceive those small acts of kindness. He returned to the rainstorm night when he first met Ren An in a daze. go.It's just why the rain is so cold now.
Cheng Lin staggered to his feet, and looked back at all the belongings that were drenched in the rainstorm. He didn't even have a place to put them, so where should he put them?Is he starting with nothing and going back to nothing?
Cheng Lin wiped the rain from his face, thinking: "No, there is still Ren An, brother is waiting for him."
Cheng Lin ran towards the hospital and stopped a taxi that was willing to take him after running for several streets. The driver said, "There is
