The Republic of China. A Dream of Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies

That night, in order to welcome Pu Xi who had returned, Lord Belle specially set up two banquets, because his son just passed his 17th birthday, this time it was considered as a make-up.

Yanlin's family also accompanied him. After half a year of getting along, everyone became a family in harmony. Qing Zhu, who was originally sarcastic, became less annoying because of her husband Wu Tianci's reconciliation. He was just a mischievous little brother. Occasionally, the two would get into trouble, and in the end they both ended up with the prince paying for it.

But the protagonist Pu Xi was not so happy, because Er Niang actually called Wang Shi over. He had always disliked this younger brother the least, and he didn't dislike his younger sister Jasmine so much. Probably because seeing his younger brother reminded him of Jin Kai, If that person hadn't done despicable and shameless things, how could Erniang have left Ama?

"I wish my second brother all the best, and grow taller." Pu Ying toasted in order to ease the atmosphere. Of course, those who are not full can only drink Coca-Cola.

Pu Xie hurriedly replied: "Thank you, brother, I might be taller than you in the future." But this was just a talk, he knew very well in his heart that his height and physique would never catch up with a pure man.

Wu Tianci, who is very good at things, quickly said: "I wish my second brother academic progress!" He just heard from his wife today that this child will go to a seminary to become a priest, which is equivalent to a foreign monk. You have to pretend like nothing happened.

"Thank you brother-in-law!" Pu Xi doesn't dislike Wu Tianci, he thinks he is a straightforward person, even if his sister has not changed much, she is still so annoying, she still doesn't say a word at the dinner table, and no one pays attention, just like this family Same.

Sitting at the banquet, Wang Xi was a little embarrassed. First, he did not belong to this family. Second, some people obviously did not welcome him, including his second brother, Pu Xi, who he wanted to get close to the most. He specially prepared a birthday present. He planned to leave the meal to the second brother alone. He felt that as long as he tried his best to show his kindness, the second brother would one day care and love him like the eldest brother...

After eating, I chatted with the prince and the others in the elder brother's room for a while, then Wang Xi knocked on the door of Pu Xie's room, and the second elder brother who opened the door for himself stood at the door and asked coldly: "Is there something wrong?"

Wang Shi immediately forced a smile: "This is my birthday present to my second brother. Although it is late and not expensive, it is from my heart." After he finished speaking, he handed over the well-wrapped gift box.

The proud prince accepted the birthday gift casually, and said dryly, "Thank you!" He was about to close the door and go back to the house to rest. The bumps along the way made him feel tired, and he didn't have the heart to take care of this "brother" who didn't like him at all.

"Second brother, I want to chat with you for a while." Wang Shi hastily added that he is a person who can't hide his thoughts.

Pu Xi, who was holding the doorknob, suddenly stopped, and he said impatiently: "If you have something to say, let's talk in the garden." He really didn't like others entering his private space, even his closest elder brother.

Wang Shi nodded happily.

Zhou Ping brought sour plum soup to the two of them, and left knowingly.

The two brothers held a lamp and talked in a low voice, but the atmosphere was not so harmonious, because the topic of conversation was too heavy.

"Er Niang plans to move out to live by herself. I talked with me for a long time just now, and my father will definitely lose his temper." Xi'er said sadly. He waited for a long time, but what he waited for was the result that his mother wanted to abandon them.

Pu Xi was not surprised, because his mother had already told him on the way, but doing so was just "remedial work", and it would not change anything.

"That's Er Niang's own decision." Pu Xi said flatly, he doesn't like others to impose his will on himself, and he also hates to meddle in other people's affairs, which also includes "family", which is quite similar to Westerners A pure Chinese is the opposite, even if it is other people's business, they have to worry about it.

"Yeah, but I don't want him to leave!" He hung his head, panicked in his heart, if the little girl knew, she would cry very sadly.

"That's how he left us back then." Pu Xi's tone of speech became too calm, his eyes stared at the moon in mid-air, and suddenly remembered the time when his mother had just left. In order not to make him and his elder brother feel sad, his father I always take the two brothers out on trips, try my best to make them happy, and finally decide to go to the UK as a diplomat, also to leave the sad place of Beijing.

"You hate my dad, don't you?" Wang Shi was only 13 years old and didn't understand that his question was too naive.

Pu Xi lowered his eyes and replied in a low voice: "Is there any reason why I don't hate him?" Even a broad-minded person like Big Brother can't forgive that bastard Jin Kai.

Wang Shi was silent, and it took a long time before he asked again: "What about Er Niang?"

Pu Xi didn't answer, but took a sip of the cold sour plum soup from the cup.

The young man who couldn't hide his words took the question by himself: "I kind of hate him now...I think he abandoned us!"

"I'm very tired and want to sleep. You can go back." Pu Xie was not interested in answering this question, nor did he want to participate in it. Anxiety mood!

Looking at the back of the second brother leaving in a hurry, Wang Shi's heart hurt even more. He didn't get any pity and love from the second brother...

But this night is even more of a test for Kelso!

After he told Jin Kai about his decision, the other party became furious and smashed all the things in the study (whether valuable or not). Hearing the noise in the study, Wang Shi rushed over immediately. He was afraid that his father would be angry Under the circumstances, he was violent to his mother.

"It's time for us to end this. We can't go on like this." Kelso is not afraid of Jinkai who has lost his mind. He must speak out his decision and can't delay it any longer. The most immoral thing is to live a life of deception. of.

Jin Kai was trembling with anger, and roared, "You are lying...you just have to go back to him, and don't give me ridiculous reasons!" He didn't believe that the Viscount would live alone, it was just a Just rhetoric.

Kelso shook his head and explained: "I moved to live in an apartment in Dongjiaomin Lane. I don't want to be with anyone. I've been too deep in the emotional quagmire these years. It's time to be free. I just want to live in peace." Leaving Two men who love him, this is probably the best choice he can make, so that there is an explanation for the children, and in the future Xi'er and Jasmine will understand his difficulties when they grow up.

"Ha, don't be kidding, even if you are willing to live alone, can he let you go, you are just creating more opportunities for him, if you leave here today, you will never see Xi'er and Jasmine again! "He yelled hysterically. If the viscount really leaves heartily, he will move to Tianjin and never step into this place of right and wrong. After completing the apartment project in Shanghai, he will quit the company's board of directors and work alone, no longer with him. Zai Kun has any financial ties.

"Father, mother, can you stop arguing?" Wang Shi ran into the study, grabbed his mother and begged, he hoped that his mother would stay and not disappear from this house.

Kelso gently stroked the child's shoulder, turned around and left with the suitcase without any further explanation.

Immediately afterwards, there was another sound of smashing things in the house, but Kelso would never look back. When he decided to live with this man, he never imagined that such a day would come. What he was afraid of was only Jin Kai. Because of his age and fading, he empathized with others, and when he was with Zai Kun, he was worried that other young women would intervene. After all, he was a person without self-confidence, and he couldn't give himself a clear picture from the beginning to the end. Is he a man or a woman?In his busy daily life, he has no time to take care of this answer, but he always looks forward to someone who can answer his doubts. He sought this answer from the Lord at first, but God did not give him a clear explanation, and there is no one in the world today. I can tell myself the answer.

From this point of view, perhaps Xie’er’s choice was right, but there was nothing he could do about it. The mother and son had the same body and walked the same path. What he worried about was that someone would disturb Xie’er’s peaceful life, just like Baylor back then. It's like I'm going to tease myself, because people can't resist temptation after all...

Kincaid arrived the day after Kelso moved into the apartment.

The Viscount did not reject him, but asked him to sit down in the living room and have a conversation. Most of what the two talked about revolved around the children, and this was the most difficult problem to solve.

"You can come back at any time. It's just that Jasmine cried too much. Xi'er and I tried to persuade her for a long time, but it didn't work. I think...you should take her with you for the time being. She is too young to leave you." Jin Kai With his head hanging down and smoking constantly, he has not been able to sleep well for two nights, the foreign company has also asked for leave, the house is in chaos, and he has no mind to do other things.

The Viscount said softly: "Well, I will pick her up tonight, and you can pick her up every Sunday."

"My mind is in a mess right now, and I haven't thought about many things clearly, but we won't live in Beijing anymore, Xi'er and I will move to the Tianjin Concession." He has thought about it, and now he is forcing Kelso, only It will be counterproductive. If you become that disgusting man, you will never have a chance to reunite in this life.

"Go back and rest, you don't look good, I have to pack my things, and I'll pick up Jasmine later." He didn't want to see Jin Kai haggard anymore, he became a sinner again, and became the only one in the eyes of Jasmine and Xi'er. Ruthless woman.

Jin Kai raised his head, stared at the Viscount who carefully placed artworks and antiques in front of the bookcase, and asked with a sob: "Is it really impossible?"

"I can't make the same mistakes again and again. You have also paid a lot, so just use the remaining decades to pursue what you want." He didn't know that what Jin Kai had been pursuing for many years was the simplest "wife and children on the bed." ", and without these, the life of an ordinary man would no longer be meaningful.

Kincaid didn't say anything, just got up and left the apartment, he didn't even know how to face tomorrow, he didn't even know how to explain to the children why this happened, wrong wrong wrong, was it all his fault?It is the cruelest retribution to fetch water from a bamboo basket in vain!

From that day on, Jin Kai contracted the problem of alcoholism. He got drunk every three to five times. Sometimes, he had to ask his son and the housekeeper to take him back to his residence. He didn't work so hard to make money. The next life is just to kill.
