paddock

Zhang Xiuyan naturally also noticed the movement at the door.He put an end to the work in his hand and went out, only to see that many people surrounded Yuan Ning, and they were all playing with him.

These birds have lived in the human environment for a long time, and they are not afraid of strangers at all. When you chirp, it also chirps, which is very loud and attractive. Occasionally, it doesn’t want to talk to you, so it tilts its head, shakes its wings, and looks at it with black eyes. you.After working all day, everyone went out for a walk, stretched their muscles and bones, and felt much more relaxed, so they all gathered under the tree to chat.

Yuan Ning saw Zhang Xiuyan coming out with sharp eyes, ran over with a smile, and told Zhang Xiuyan what he had just discussed with other people: "It seems that it is the end of autumn, we just discussed finding a weekend to go hiking and exercise Legs and feet, in case winter comes and there is no chance to go out for activities. What do you think, big brother!"

Zhang Xiuyan rubbed Yuan Ning's head, nodded and said, "Yes." Since Yuan Ning wants to go, it's naturally good.He looked generously at his subordinates, "You decide the plan, and I will pay for it."

The subordinates cheered in unison: "Boss is wise! Long live the boss!"

Yuan Ning couldn't stop laughing, and dragged Zhang Xiuyan away openly.Zhang Xiuyan worked hard, Yuan Ning was reluctant to let him drive, so he drove, and went to the market in the middle, wandered around, bought some ingredients, and went back to make some delicious food for Zhang Xiuyan.Back in the car, Yuan Ning muttered worryingly again: "The weather is starting to get colder, and it's easier to get sick when the season changes. Brother, don't be too busy to damage your health."

Zhang Xiuyan leaned over and kissed Yuan Ning's forehead as a response.

Yuan Ning hooked Zhang Xiuyan's neck and kissed back: "You just rely on me!"

Zhang Xiuyan's eyes overflowed with a smile: "Yes, I rely on you."

Yuan Ning despises Zhang Xiuyan's shameless behavior, but feels sweet in his heart.He likes this kind of big brother - he likes a strict big brother, and he also likes a big brother who gradually begins to rely on him.Yuan Ning drove Zhang Xiuyan home, only to find that the other side was moving. The commander was a thin old man, about five or sixty years old. His skin was a bit dark, but he was very energetic. His eyes were like a falcon, showing shrewdness.Seeing Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan coming up, the other party nodded, without saying anything, turned around and entered the room, and continued to instruct the porters to put the furniture in the corresponding position.

Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan entered the house, talked about the history of their new neighbors, and discussed going to visit another day.After all, they are neighbors, and they usually have a support when they know each other.The buildings in the city are getting taller and taller, and the idea of ​​being friendly and neighborly has long been out of fashion. Sometimes you may live in the same building without meeting other residents for a whole year. Yuan Ning is not used to this kind of cold neighbor relationship. .

Zhang Xiuyan nodded and said nothing.Yuan Ning gets along well with everyone, because Yuan Ning likes to communicate with people from the bottom of her heart, likes to make all kinds of friends, and doesn't look at each other's age, identity and status.This is actually contrary to the education Zhang Xiuyan received since he was a child. Even if Mr. Zhang didn't deliberately teach him, Zhang Xiuyan has a strong desire for profit under his influence, and will not care about useless human relations.It's just that everything was different after Yuan Ning came to Zhang's house.

The two of them worked together, and dinner was ready quickly.After dinner, Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan talked about Shen Jiyun.

Yuan Ning was a little concerned about Shen Jiyun's half-spoken reminder, so he said everything he heard and thought, and wanted to hear Zhang Xiuyan's judgment.

Zhang Xiuyan frowned.Sometimes it's easy to lose sight of what's right in front of you.For example, the series of coincidences in Yuan Ning, it happened that Yuan Ning's mother was lost, it happened that Yuan Ning was caught by the Zhang family, and it happened that Yuan Ning was the grandson of the Han family-everything was so coincidental.Is it really all a coincidence?Such a coincidence that Yuan Ning's photo was sent to them, such a coincidence that Ms. Xue misidentified her, such a coincidence that Ms. Xue heard about the situation of Yuan Ning's family, such a coincidence that Ms. Xue thought of adopting her—and such a coincidence, " "Professional" cousin Ryan gave them affirmative advice.

If it wasn't for Yuan Ning's special character and physique, who accidentally resolved the Zhang family's predicament at that time, would Yuan Ning also be regarded as a chess piece placed in the Zhang family?Zhang Xiuyan grabbed Yuan Ning's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll let someone investigate it thoroughly." If there is a suspect, the investigation will be easier.

Yuan Ning felt relieved.

He didn't want to be bothered by such a thing, and when he heard that the other side was still moving, he dragged Zhang Xiuyan to the other side to help.After chatting, I found out that the newly moved little old man and his wife are engaged in plant research and the other in animal research, but they are not in the Agricultural Research Institute, so Yuan Ning has never seen them.

Hearing that Yuan Ning was familiar with people from the Agricultural Research Institute, the little old man stopped being polite to him and accepted Yuan Ning's help.This field is so small, people who are professionally accomplished basically know each other, and the students of old friends are no different from their own students, and they can be dispatched.

Yuan Ning happily ran up and down all night before going back to sleep with Zhang Xiuyan.The next day Yuan Ning went back to school, and Zhang Xiuyan also went to work, but at noon, instead of going to the cafeteria, he drove away from the unit and went to Capital TV to make an appointment for Zhang Xiuwen.

Compared with his cousin Ryan, he has other doubts, but he doesn't want Yuan Ning to think too much before he is sure.

Zhang Xiuwen was doing an internship, and he was dressed in a dignified manner, except that the two-buttoned neckline was a little unruly.Having already called in the morning, Zhang Xiuwen booked a box early and waited for Zhang Xiuyan to come over.

Zhang Xiuyan walked into the box, ordered food, dismissed the waiter, turned his head to look at Zhang Xiuwen with a worried face, and didn't speak immediately.

Zhang Xiuwen's heart skipped a beat when he looked at Zhang Xiu's stern scrutiny.Since childhood, Zhang Xiuyan and Mr. Zhang have been printed in the same mold—it can even be said that Zhang Xiuyan controls them more often than Mr. Zhang, and they are more majestic in their hearts!Zhang Xiuwen called out cautiously: "Brother..."

Zhang Xiuyan knocked on the edge of the table, and asked indifferently: "Have those people still looked for you?"

Zhang Xiuwen's heart beat twice, and even his voice trembled: "I don't understand what you mean, big brother."

Zhang Xiuyan stared at Zhang Xiuwen.He didn't want to think about it either.He has been asking people to follow up on the "orphan". Yesterday Yuan Ning mentioned Shen Jiyun's reminder, and he suddenly thought that apart from Yuan Ning, Zhang Xiuwen was also adopted in his family.Let people check again, the fact that the relationship between Zhang Xiuwen and Zhang Xiuling was made public is also weird-either Zhang Xiuwen did it himself, or someone did it on purpose.Looking back, Zhang Xiuwen suddenly became very low-key after entering university, and he and Zhang Xiuling nestled in the drama club.

Is this really the power of love?

Zhang Xiuyan said: "Not long ago when Ning Ning returned to Huazhong, the old man came to Ning Ning and said that someone sent him a photo of me and Ning Ning being close together. The matter between you and Xiuling was also because you were stabbed to the old man. The big trouble," he tapped the table again, "If Ning Ning wasn't the grandson of the Han family, and I wasn't my father's preferred heir, I'm afraid I would be as troubled as before." Mr. Zhang didn't explode directly, but talked to Yuan Ning about it.

Zhang Xiuwen was very smart since he was a child, how could he not understand that for a family like the Zhang family, "useless" will be manipulated at will?Unless there is something more terrifying threatening Zhang Xiuwen behind than losing everything.

Zhang Xiu stared closely at Zhang Xiuwen.

Zhang Xiuwen and Zhang Xiuyan looked at each other for a moment, then slightly clenched their fists.From childhood to adulthood, everything about them can't be hidden from Zhang Xiuyan's eyes. Their worries, fears, and hesitations are just trivial things that don't matter to Zhang Xiuyan.But in fact, Zhang Xiuyan is not much older than them, that is, in his twenties—is Zhang Xiuyan really not afraid of his and Yuan Ning's affairs being made public?Aren't you afraid that your many years of business will be burned?

Zhang Xiuwen said: "No, they didn't look for me anymore, because I am useless." He used to work hard to manage his business, and he wanted to use the resources and background of the Zhang family to climb up.Later, he suddenly discovered that even if he climbed to a higher position, he was still living involuntarily, so he wanted to quit.The exposure of his love affair with Zhang Xiuling was probably the last action of "over there".

Under Zhang Xiuyan's gaze, Zhang Xiuwen narrated everything he knew.He was approached before arriving at the Zhang family, and the other party asked him if he would like to become the adopted son of the Zhang family. He was poor and afraid at the time, so naturally he desperately wanted to seize the opportunity in front of him.Since then, he has also tried his best to perform well enough, and strived to obtain all the resources that are useful to him. He wished that even Zhang Xiuyan, the serious heir of the Zhang family, would be better than before.

Zhang Xiuwen lowered his head: "I'm sorry, big brother, I dare not talk to you about these things." He desperately broke away from everything in the past, desperately broke away from the relationship with "there", wanting to live peacefully and dignifiedly. With Zhang Xiuling - he hoped that they would completely abandon him as a pawn, and that everything in the past would never be mentioned again.If it was discovered that even his adoption by Zhang's family was a scheme, big brother, would they still be willing to let Zhang Xiuling marry him?

Zhang Xiuyan put the cup in his hand, and looked at Zhang Xiuwen with serious eyes.Even though Zhang Xiuwen confessed everything honestly, the hand behind him was still well hidden.He said: "You haven't met those people? How did you contact them? What did you do for them?"

Zhang Xiuwen said: "I have seen them, but I haven't seen their faces, and it's not the same person every time." He paused, "At first they didn't ask me to do anything, and they even helped me a little. Made everything go smoothly for me. Then I didn't feel right..."

Zhang Xiuyan said: "Of course not, no one will unconditionally help you for so many years." This shows that the return requested by the other party must be extremely huge.

Zhang Xiuwen said: "Yes, that's how it is. I grew up slowly, and I also tried to ask them to help me a little bit, but they were able to solve it easily. At that time, I discovered that behind them were more than I imagined. There is also a terrifying giant. I have been thinking, should I talk about these things with you, big brother, but I am afraid—” He clenched his hands, “I am afraid that I will become nothing again, the better you treat me, the better I will be. Afraid." If he didn't get it, he wouldn't be so reluctant.

Zhang Xiuyan was disappointed.He said: "It is because of your fear that people can take advantage of it." If Yuan Ning hadn't been reminded by Shen Jiyun, he would never doubt his family members.Zhang Xiu looked at Zhang Xiuwen sternly, "I remember you were the one who talked about Ningning with your mother."

Yuan Ning hadn't come to Zhang's house before, so he didn't know about some things, but Zhang Xiuyan did.

Zhang Xiuyan understood exactly how Yuan Ning, the "younger brother", was taken home.At the beginning, some investigators said that there was a similar one in the south, and they also sent Yuan Ning's photo, which was a letter received by Zhang Xiuwen.Later, the other party called to talk about Yuan Ning's life experience, and it was still Zhang Xiuwen who answered the phone, and it was Zhang Xiuwen who directly talked to Ms. Xue about Yuan Ning's situation-they usually would not directly tell Ms. Xue the unconfirmed news, otherwise If not, they may not be just Yuan Ning as a "new brother".

Cousin Ryan certainly played a decisive role, but he only gave a malicious suggestion.

Zhang Xiuwen looked at Zhang Xiuyan's eyes that understood everything, and said anxiously: "Ningning is different," he frowned, "Ningning is different from me. Brother, you——"

Zhang Xiuyan interrupted: "No matter who I suspect, I will not doubt Ningning."

Zhang Xiuwen was silent.

Zhang Xiuyan said: "I don't want my mother to know about these things." He looked at Zhang Xiuwen, "But if you really want to spend the rest of your life with Xiuling, then you must either promise that you can hide it for the rest of your life and protect her for the rest of your life. , or be honest with her." Zhang Xiuyan said in a stern tone, "Xiuling is not as smart as you, but she is braver than you. If you don't have the confidence and determination to fight the other party to the end, your fears and worries will be irrelevant. It can be exploited, and self-righteous deceit will only lead to more serious consequences."

Zhang Xiuwen was shocked, and his dead heart came back to life.He looked at Zhang Xiuyan with hope in his eyes: "Brother, can I still be with Xiuxiu?" It was Zhang Xiuling who made him make up his mind to cut off everything, and what he had been worried about was that after being discovered, Big Brother and the others would not be together again. agree with them.Now Zhang Xiuyan knows everything, but he has no intention of breaking them up!

Zhang Xiuyan said: "People who want to be together cannot be separated." He glanced at Zhang Xiuwen, "But if you make Xiuling sad and disappointed and want to separate from you, I will naturally stand by Xiuling side."

Zhang Xiuwen said: "Brother, don't worry, I will never make Xiuxiu sad!"

Zhang Xiuyan nodded, motioning for Zhang Xiuwen to eat.After eating, Zhang Xiuyan sent Zhang Xiuwen away, called Mr. Zhang, and explained the clues he had found.

He always feels that Mr. Zhang has more things than himself.

This is the intuition that he and Mr. Zhang have honed over the years of fighting each other.

After listening to Zhang Xiuyan's probing clues, Mr. Zhang was silent for a while, and asked, "What are you suspecting?"
