Friday, May 2027, 2.

New Year's Eve, eight o'clock in the evening.

Cen's old house.

The car is parked in front of the gate of the main building.

Sitting in the back seat, Cen Ge turned his head to glance at the brightly lit old European-style building.

The housekeeper and two servants trotted over to greet him. Seeing that Cen Ge hadn't got out of the car, they didn't dare to approach him, and waited outside the car one after another.

Cen Ge picked up his handbag and got out of the car.

The housekeeper immediately stepped forward and explained the situation in the house respectfully: "The madam came back a few days ago, the master just arrived at noon today, and..."

He sneaked a glance at Cen's expression: "Several young ladies and young masters, as well as the female guests of the two masters are also here."

This refers to Cen Ru's illegitimate son and mistress.

Cen Ge didn't speak, and strode up the steps.

The housekeeper wanted to say something, but Cen Geren had already entered the room, so he had no choice but to swallow his words.

Cen Ge's father, Cen Ru, had seven illegitimate children, four boys and three girls. The oldest was 36 years old, three years older than Cen Ge, and the youngest was ten years old and still in elementary school.

Seven illegitimate children, six mistresses, and two new lovers, a total of fifteen people, gathered in the living room to talk and chat lively. At first glance, it really looked like a harmonious, loving and happy family.

Cen Ge held a long handbag in one hand and walked into the living room wearing a black suit jacket.The high-heeled shoes landed on the marble floor, making a crisp sound. As soon as the sound entered the living room, the lively voice was instantly silenced.

The dozen or so people in the room all turned their heads to look at Cen Ge with different expressions, but all of them shut up and remained silent.

The atmosphere was subtly quiet.

Cen Ge glanced at them, raised his hand and took off the suit jacket on his shoulders, and the housekeeper took it immediately.

Cen Ge didn't talk to the people in the house, she went straight upstairs and went back to the study.

After she closed the study door, the people in the side hall started whispering one after another.

These people are not close to each other, they talk happily while drinking and stabbing people behind their backs, but they have a tacit understanding - to reject Cen Ge.

The oldest of the illegitimate children was Cen Xu. He winked at the other two young people in their 20s, and the three of them went to the terrace to chat.

The other two are the second-ranked illegitimate daughter Cen Lan, and the third-ranked Cen Bo.

These three people are not much different in age, Cen Lan and Cen Ge are the same age, Cen Bo just passed 32, one year younger than Cen Ge.Except for Cen Xu, Cen Lan and Cen Bo are all descendants of the Cen family who were personally taken care of by Cen Ge's mother Su Liyu.

When they were young, these three lived in the same villa area as Cen Ge and went to the same private school.That was also their most glorious time in the Cen family.

At that time, Cen Ru was busy with work and socializing, and only went home once a month or two. When he came back, he took turns to live in the villas of their illegitimate children's mothers, and never stayed in Su Liyu's bedroom.

So Su Liyu was very polite and conniving to them, even if her daughter was jointly bullied by three illegitimate wild species, Su Liyu turned a blind eye.

The one thing Cen Xu remembers most clearly is when Cen Ge was seven years old.

He locked Cen Ge and a wild dog in the back garden of the villa, and then he, Cen Lan, and Cen Bo were on the balcony on the second floor, laughing and watching Cen Ge being chased and bitten by a dog in the garden, and finally fell into the swimming pool , almost drowned.

When Cen Ge was rescued by his servants, he choked on water, and his arms and legs were bitten by dogs, which was very miserable.

Su Liyu just came back at that time and saw her bloody daughter.

Cen Ge narrowly escaped death, still in shock, and cried when he saw his mother, sobbing and accusing Cen Xu, Cen Lan and others of the instigators.

But Su Liyu didn't, she didn't pursue responsibility, and she didn't ask Cen Ge if it hurt, she just used this incident to let the youngest Cen Bo take her to Cen Bo's villa, and then use his landline to call Cen Ru .

Cen Bo is the youngest and his mother is the youngest, and he is favored by Cen Ru, so Cen Ru will answer her calls.

Cen Xu remembered very clearly that at that time, Su Liyu held the handset of the landline, put on a delicate expression, pinched her throat, and told Cen Ru pitifully that her daughter was sick, could you come back and see.

At that time, Cen Ru probably hung up on Su Liyu's phone directly, because Su Liyu's expression became very ugly afterwards, and she replayed the number several times, but she couldn't get through, and even dropped the landline before leaving.

As for Cen Xu's prank, it was exposed without punishment.

I heard that Cen Ge developed a high fever of [-] degrees and stayed in the hospital for a whole week. Once he was discharged from the hospital, he was taken back to the Cen family's old house and was raised by Mrs. Cen.

Therefore, Cen Xu kept bragging that if Cen Ge didn't run fast, they would definitely play her to death.

In fact, there is a follow-up to the swimming pool incident, only Cen Ge and Su Liyu know about it.

When I went to the hospital that day, after treating the wound, the hospital said that the patient could be discharged directly, but Su Liyu refused.

Su Liyu asked the doctor: "She fell into the swimming pool. It's still cold in early spring. Does she have a high fever?"

The doctor kindly replied, "It also depends on your physique. I think Ms. Cen has a good physique and is in good spirits now. Maybe she won't have a cold or fever."

Su Liyu asked seriously: "Then how can I make her have a fever?"

The doctor was very confused by the question at the time, and he didn't react for a while. Seeing Su Liyu's serious expression without any joke, he didn't know how to answer at all.

It was the first time he saw such a mother in his whole life as a doctor.

The doctor didn't answer Su Liyu, so Su Liyu took Cen Ge by herself and took a cold shower in the shower room of the ward for 5 minutes.

Cen Ge didn't like to cry since she was a child, but that day in the bathroom, she kept crying.

Su Liyu was very angry, and even slapped Cen Ge heavily on the back, scolding her: "Don't cry when you should cry! Why don't you cry in front of your father? Look at Cen Lan, Aru hugs her when she cries, what about you?" , why don't you cry?"

After that cold bath, Cen Ge developed a low-grade fever at night, but Su Liyu didn't call the doctor, and when Cen Ge's fever went from low-grade to high, she called Cen Ru.

Crying and saying that Cen Ge had a high fever of forty degrees and was in critical condition, after being comforted by Cen Ru, Su Liyu was satisfied and asked the doctor to treat Cen Ge's high fever.

At that time, Cen Ge stayed in the hospital for seven days, and also drenched in cold water for seven days, and it was dragged until Cen Ru came back from abroad. After seeing her in the hospital, Su Liyu let Cen Ge out of the hospital.

Cen Xu didn't know about the hospital, but after the swimming pool incident, he was sure of one thing - Su Liyu didn't care about Cen Ge's life or death.

So even when Cen Ge was in his teens, Cen Xu still satirized her from time to time, saying to her: "You know, your mother wants you to die."

At this moment, on New Year's Eve.

Cen Xu, Cen Lan, and Cen Bo recalled the glory of the past, and laughed from time to time. During the conversation, they occasionally looked at the restaurant across the hall.

Wearing a cheongsam, the graceful Su Liyu was instructing the servants to arrange the dinner.

She is over fifty years old, but she is still beautiful and graceful, with a graceful temperament and a noble air all over her body.But who knew that such an elegant and noble woman was secretly extremely cheap.

And that seemingly lofty and mighty Cen Ge, who had a miserable and helpless childhood, was trampled underfoot and bullied by their illegitimate children.

No matter how cold and arrogant, it's just a glamorous appearance.

Thinking of this, Cen Xu and the others couldn't help laughing even louder.

Second floor, study.

The soundproofing of the room is excellent, you can't hear the noise downstairs at all.

Cen Ge stood on the small balcony of the study, holding a white lady's cigarette between his fingertips. The cigarette was half-burned, but he hadn't taken a sip yet.The red sparks slowly climbed up the cigarette in the cold wind, spitting out gray ashes.

Cen Ge kept staring at the opposite side.

The main building of the old house is located on the mountainside, with its back against the mountain wall, and is located among layers of dense forests.

Cen Ge's study room is on the side of the main building. Looking from the balcony, one can see the gently lowered mountain wall.At a certain corner of the mountain wall, there is a protruding flat rock.

That place has a wide view, which is very suitable for watching the sunrise and sunset.

It was there that Cen Ge saw Anxi for the first time.

At nine o'clock, the Cen family has a reunion dinner.

A total of eighteen people sat at three tables.

Cen Ru, Su Liyu, Cen Ge, Cen Xu, Cen Lan, and Cen Bo's mother sat at the main table.

Cen Ru said a few words symbolically and then started the meal.

The so-called reunion dinner was actually just a formality. There was no chatter, no joking and cursing, and everyone was eating quietly and carelessly.

Cen Ge moved his chopsticks a few times, then put them down.

"I've finished eating. I have something to do. Let's go first." She wiped the corner of her mouth lightly, got up and left.

"Wait." Cen Ru also put down his chopsticks, "I have something to tell you, come with me to the study."

After finishing speaking, he went upstairs on his own, ignoring Cen Ge's reaction.

The restaurant was completely quiet, and everyone in the room rolled their eyes, from Cen Ru to Cen Ge, and finally exchanged suspicious glances with each other.

Cen Ge followed Cen Ru, but was stopped by Su Liyu on the way.

Su Liyu is over fifty years old, but she is well maintained, her skin is tight, and there are only wrinkles that cannot be covered at the end of her eyes and on her neck.

She spoke softly and softly: "Talk to your father well, don't make him angry, you know?"

Cen Ge didn't even look at Su Liyu, he withdrew his hand and walked up the spiral staircase.

Su Liyu was ignored by her daughter, without any embarrassment, she even smiled and beckoned others to continue eating with their chopsticks.Her demeanor is elegant and calm, exactly the same as the mistress of a wealthy family in the old days.

But the other people at the table couldn't be in the mood to eat this chewy meal, and all their thoughts drifted upstairs to the study room, guessing the content of the conversation between Cen Ru and Cen Ge.

Cen Ru is sixty this year. Although he is well maintained and does not look old on the outside, he played too much when he was young, his foundation was overdrawn, and he was weak inside.He looks capable and young, but in fact, his energy and memory are not as good as before, and he can no longer cope with the struggles and calculations in the company and the mall.

Earlier, he asked Cen Xu's older children to take over some of the company's projects. Although he didn't mess up and cause trouble, he was too well-behaved, and he was just a life waiting to die.

Only Cen Ge is different.

In the early years, Cen Ru didn't like this daughter. She was smart, but she was too assertive and indifferent. She was very hostile to him and difficult to control.

But after more than ten years, when he looked down at his children, he was most satisfied with Cen Ge.Cen Ge took over the company's family business, he was most at ease.

It doesn't matter if there is no father-daughter relationship, interests are more practical than feelings.

After casually asking about the progress of the project that Cen Ge is currently in charge of, Cen Ru got to the point: "The Nian family wants to marry us, do you have any intention?"

Cen Ge didn't even think about it: "No."

She answered too quickly, which surprised Cen Ru.

Cen Ru raised his eyes and looked at Cen Ge: "You and Lin Anxi have been divorced for six years, right? But I heard that you invested [-] million in her online drama some time ago, do you want to remarry her?"

Cen Ge didn't answer, but instead asked, "Is that what you want to tell me?"

Cen Ru saw that Cen Ge was unwilling to communicate, and he didn't want to make the relationship between the father and daughter who were not close to each other even worse, so he said: "If you don't want to marry, forget it, it's just that the Nian family has that intention, but in the end it's up to you." did you mean."

The family business is so big that they are in this position, and there is no need to use marriage to consolidate their status.Being able to connect is of course the icing on the cake, but not being able to do so will not have any impact.

"I refuse." Cen Ge said, "There are also my private affairs, please take care of them."

She was referring to Cen Ru prying into her private itinerary and investing in the crew.

Cen Ru was not annoyed when he was bullied, he acted like a good-tempered father: "Okay, I promise you."

Cen Ge didn't say much, turned around and left.

After getting in the car, the driver asked Cen Ge where to go.

Cen Ge usually lives in two apartments, one is near the Longyue Group head office building, and the other is near her own technology company.

There is also a villa in the middle of the lake, which I occasionally go to on weekends and holidays.

Cen Ge said nothing, just looked out of the window.

The car went down the mountain along the winding road through layers of woods.

Cen Ge suddenly remembered the long time ago when he was young.

She began to study abroad in the third year of junior high school, and only returned to China during the summer vacation every year, staying for about a month.

Because of the flight, almost every time she came back was at night.

Just like today, she sat alone in the car, driven by the driver, along the long winding road, returning to an empty, cold, impersonal home.

Go abroad alone, return home alone, live alone.This is Cen Ge's youth.

Until the age of 17, that Lin Anxi, the servant's daughter, suddenly appeared at the airport, hugged a bouquet of lilies, and came to pick her up nervously.

She stuttered and explained to her that Grandma Cen had asked her to come because she was afraid that Cen Ge would be alone on the road.

Cen Ge was not alone, because she was already used to a lonely life.

But Anxi appeared.

Accompany her through the long and dark forest road and go home together.

But now she was the only one left.

"Miss?" The driver called cautiously before waiting for a response.

Cen Ge regained his senses and said, "Go to Tiansheng Rose Bay."
