He walks the career path in Shurachang

Chapter 50 Family Gatherings

The Wenjia Manor is located on the hillside of Changyu Mountain. The huge villa is hidden among the mountains and rivers. Under the night sky and the stars, it looks like a sleeping beast crawling over the years, and the glory of the past can still be seen faintly.

The fully automatic hollow iron gate slides open on both sides, and the black Bentley drives into the manor, with lush gardens on both sides.

This was Shang Heng's first time entering the Wen's Manor, and it was also the rare occasion for this manor to welcome foreigners for a long time.

As the Double Festival approaches, most of the servants are no longer in the garden. The cars are parked at the door, and the lights in the main hall illuminate the stone steps at the door in a circular arc of light. The few remaining maids stand in two rows and get off the car together. The Patriarch bowed, and made a neat silhouette in front of the stone steps.

Shang Heng was so shocked by this scene that he was speechless. There were many people there, but he didn't take a breath. The call sign of the north wind outside was clearly in his ears. The solemnity made him feel uncomfortable. To the absurdity of old movies at the end of the last century.

Wen Ruiyun walked in front, and as soon as he entered the door, a servant took over the coat in his hand, followed by the tie, and another servant quietly brought home shoes, and reported in a low voice that the restaurant was ready for supper.

Shang Heng took a step behind, elbowed Wen Shengqi who was yawning profusely by his side, and asked quietly, "Is this always like this in your family?"

Wen Shengqi nodded as a matter of course: "Otherwise?"

Shang Heng said silently, he really deserves to be a veteran wealthy family.

The decoration of the hall is full of nostalgic Chinese style, luxurious yet elegant.

Wen Ruiyun went upstairs to change, and the servant took Wen Shengqi and Shang Heng to the restaurant.

In the middle is a floor-to-ceiling carved golden huanghuali screen. Under the circular ceiling in the hall is a round mahogany table. On the table are several small dishes neatly arranged, and in the middle is a plate of vegetarian dumplings.

Wen Ranran knew that Shang Heng was coming tonight, so she was waiting at the dining table early with her neck stretched out. When she saw him, she first looked around to make sure that her eldest brother was not there, and then sweetly called him Brother Shang.

Wen Shengqi hurriedly sat next to his sister, took advantage of his elder brother's absence, put a hot dumpling in his mouth, and vaguely asked his sister for credit: "How is it? Second brother didn't lie to you, he kept his word and brought Brother Shang back .”

"Come and sit!" Wen Ranran waved at Shang Heng, pushed the prepared gift box in front of him, rubbing the corner of her skirt shyly, "Well, I haven't had a chance to thank you for the banquet, this is for you, you Don't be disgusted."

"It's been so long, don't worry about it."

The three brothers and sisters look quite similar, Wen Ranran's eyes are especially like Wen Ruiyun's. Shang Heng looked at her with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but imagine Wen Ruiyun's shy smile. That scene might be both funny and horrifying.

He opened the gift box casually, and inside was a felt doll, commonly known as poke music, in the shape of a little white fox with two heads and a fat round face, making people want to touch it.

"Thank you, it's very cute." Shang Heng poked it on the head, "You made it? Such a skill?"

Wen Ranran smiled embarrassedly: "Actually, I'm not very good at crafting, it's..."

"What are you talking about?"

Wen Ruiyun's voice came from behind the hollowed-out screen, with a faint smile, and when he walked around the screen, he saw Shang Heng poking the little felt fox with a slight frown.

"Ah, it's nothing, let's eat." Wen Ranran hurried over to pull out the chair for his elder brother, and flattered him with a bowl full of vegetables.

Wen Ruiyun changed into a black satin home dress. The docile fabric softly outlines a well-proportioned figure. He glanced at Wen Shengqi who was buried in his food, picked up his chopsticks and gently buckled the edge of the dinner plate: "Don't eat too much at night, don't eat too much. It's easy to digest."

Wen Shengqi was about to argue a few words, but before he could speak, he was kicked by the sister next to him, so he had to shut his mouth resentfully.

The supper time for the family of three plus Shang Heng, an outsider, officially started. At the table, the three of them each ate their own food, and no one spoke. Except for the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding, and the faint sound of chewing, there was no other sound.

The surrounding area was as quiet as an empty castle.

The dumplings in Shang Heng's mouth were no longer fragrant. The atmosphere was nothing like a family reunion during a festival. It was clearly a prison meal before execution, and he couldn't swallow it at all!

In the car, Wen Shengqi said that the house was deserted, and Shang Heng felt strange seeing so many servants, but it was really deserted, colder than the north wind blowing outside the house.

Shang Heng really couldn't stand the embarrassing silence, coughed lightly, and said: "It's not interesting to just eat, why don't we play a little game, how about it?"

Wen Ranran and Wen Shengqi immediately raised their heads together, winking at him desperately, Wen Shengqi came over to cover his mouth and reminded in a low voice: "Brother Shang, our family eats without talking."

Shang Heng was speechless for a while, and turned to look at Wen Ruiyun: "No way, you can't even say a word?"

The latter stopped his chopsticks and hesitated for a moment. Wen Ranran thought he was angry, and immediately smoothed things over: "Brother Shang is here for the first time, and he's not used to it..."

"What game do you want to play?" Wen Ruiyun looked up at him.

Wen Ranran's subsequent words stuck in his throat, and he and his second brother looked at each other in disbelief, why did the eldest brother change his sex tonight?No more rules.

Shang Heng asked the servant for an empty wine bottle, placed it on the revolving glass in the center of the round table, and said enthusiastically: "Simple, whoever the bottle is turned to, the person sitting on his left has the right to ask questions, and he must answer the question." Tell the truth, if you don’t answer, you will be punished with alcohol.”

"Okay, okay, I second!" Wen Ranran was allowed to joke at the dinner table for the first time at such an age, and immediately became excited.

For a moment, the three people on the table looked at Wen Ruiyun expectantly, as if not agreeing would be a heinous crime, the man pursed his lips helplessly, if in normal times, how could the two little guys have the courage to act presumptuously in front of him?

He cast a vague glance at Shang Heng, the latter propped his cheek with one hand, looked at him with a smile in his eyes, his eyes were bright, and he couldn't say the words of refusal.

Wen Ruiyun simply put down his chopsticks and nodded slightly: "Okay, for the sake of the festival, let's not make an exception."

"Then I'll start." Shang Heng stretched out his hand and gently turned the wine bottle, the mouth of the bottle spun quickly for a few weeks, and finally pointed at himself.

Shang Heng's eyes widened in astonishment, and the three brothers and sisters of the Wen family couldn't help laughing together.

"Brother Shang, congratulations on your first kill!"

"Brother, you sit on his left, and ask quickly." Wen Ranran watched the excitement, and didn't think it was a big deal. He didn't eat the dumplings, and tried his best to push, "Ask him if he has a sweetheart!"

"Ran Ran," Wen Ruiyun knocked on her in a neutral tone, "don't be rude."

Shang Heng looked at the two younger brothers and sisters winking with amused expression, spreading their hands, with a desperate expression: "Ask, I'm ready."

Wen Ruiyun was involved in the business world, and there was no disadvantage at the negotiating table. It was just a small family dinner, but he seemed to be stumped.

After looking at Shang Heng for a while, Wen Ruiyun said slowly, "What do you think of my family?"

What is the problem?Not explosive at all.

Wen Shengqi rolled his eyes, and his younger sister's eyes rolled, secretly thinking that his elder brother was still scheming.

Shang Heng rubbed his nose, considered his words for a while, and then said: "The manor is more than luxurious, but not popular enough, as for the family."

He looked at the two brothers and sisters opposite with a smile, and finally looked at Wen Ruiyun: "It's very interesting."

Wen Ruiyun smiled, noncommittal.

The empty wine bottle was turned again, and this time it was actually Shang Heng again!

Wen Shengqi snorted.

Shang Heng raised his eyebrows, took a peanut and threw it into his mouth to chew, and squinted at Wen Ruiyun, who smiled calmly and said, "It seems that Mr. Shang is not lucky tonight."

Shang Heng: "Quickly ask."

Wen Ruiyun thought for a while and asked, "What does your ideal other half look like?"

Stared at by three pairs of eyes, Shang Heng suddenly felt a sense of humor on a blind date show: "Why is Mr. Wen interested in this?"

"curious."

Shang Heng couldn't help but think of the conversation with Rong Zhi, he was silent for a moment, and said: "Souls attract each other."

Wen Ruiyun closed his eyes thoughtfully.

In the third round, Shang Heng put in a lot of effort, and the wine bottle spun rapidly, rubbing against the glass plate and making a clanging sound. In the end, the mouth of the bottle pointed at Shang Heng again.

He glanced at Wen Ruiyun suspiciously. Could it be that the servants of Wen's family did something wrong? Is it bad luck?

This time Wen Ruiyun didn't think about it, and said directly: "There are three days of vacation, will you stay?"

Shang Heng was taken aback, nodded, and couldn't help but confirm again: "You're just asking this?"

Wen Ruiyun wiped his hands with a wet towel, picked up the bowl and chopsticks again, and smiled with satisfaction: "I know everything I want to know."

Shang Heng: "..."

Several people chatted, laughed and finished the supper, Wen Ranran was reluctant to go to bed, Shang Heng wanted to win back from Wen Ruiyun, and continued to suggest playing small games, and kept watch to wait for the New Year by the way.

The clichéd New Year's Eve party was playing on TV. Wen Ruiyun watched the three of them spread out a flying chess board on the table, sit around and throw dice, and sat aside to read magazines with little interest.

Shang Heng raised his eyebrows: "We are missing one of three, Mr. Wen can help."

Wen Ruiyun said slowly: "It's a game only played by children, childish."

10 minute later.

The head of the family, who was sitting on the single sofa with his legs crossed, held a cup of hot tea in his hand, breathed lightly, and did not lift his eyes: "If you think there is too little homework, I will contact the teacher tomorrow to make up for you alone."

Wen Ranran, who was about to fly his elder brother's plane back to his hometown: "..."

Cheapskate!Bastard!

Wen Ranran pouted, felt aggrieved and changed to another plane, and kicked away the plane that was about to arrive at the door of the second brother's house.

"Damn!" Wen Shengqi almost jumped in anger.

Wen Ruiyun glanced at him lightly: "No swearing is allowed."

"It's my turn!" Shang Heng sighed into his closed palms, and the dice rolled to a six, "Ha, two chances!"

With a smirk, Shang Heng kicked Wen Ruiyun's two planes back to his hometown twice in a row.

Wen Ruiyun: "..."

The two brothers and sisters on the opposite side laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt.

Shang Heng shook his head, and spread his hands innocently: "It's not my fault, who told me to only take this fight. Mr. Wen, the dignified president, shouldn't care about this kind of child's game, right?"

Wen Ruiyun smiled slowly: "Of course not."

After all, the backhand is a bomb, sending Shang Heng's pawn back to China.

Shang Heng sneered, and all four chess pieces came out of the cage, specially picking up Wen Ruiyun's plane to play.

The two fought fiercely back and forth on the game board, refusing to give in to each other, and stared at the two brothers and sisters for a while, until the countdown to the New Year sounded on the TV, and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the sound of fireworks came from afar.

Huge fireworks bloomed in the dark night sky, Wen Ranran jumped to the window, opened the curtains, and colorful lights and shadows flashed on the faces of the four people.

"Look, it's New Year's Eve!"

It's new year...

Shang Heng stared at the gorgeous fireworks outside the window, suddenly felt a little dazed, and looked at the man beside him: "Wen Ruiyun, do you think this world is real?"

Wen Ruiyun looked at him in surprise: "Why do you ask that?"

Shang Heng rubbed the dice in his hand, and said softly: "It's just that sometimes, I feel that there are some things that are inconceivable, elusive, and unpredictable. If one day, you find that you are surrounded by falsehoods, what will you do?"

The fireworks outside the window are still noisy, Wen Ruiyun is watching him intently, his deep eyes are in the light and shadow, and the confidence and calmness that have been condensed over the years are precipitated: "The people I care about are by my side, that is the truth."
