silent age

The weather in Shanghai has not been very good recently. It has been raining continuously for half a month, and the high temperature has continued in recent days. After leaving the air conditioner for a few minutes, you can get sweaty all over your body.On Saturday, God was kind at last, the weather was cloudy and windy, which was barely a good weather.

When Bai Sihuan and Lin Heng came back from walking the dog outside, they saw Lin Huan talking and laughing with Cheng Sutang in the living room. This scene was so rare that Bai Sihuan thought he was dizzy.

Lin Heng seemed much calmer, standing not far away he called "Dad, Mom" ​​in a regular manner, and Bai Sihuan hurriedly followed suit.

Cheng Sutang nodded to Lin Heng, smiled kindly, glanced at Bai Sihuan casually, and straightened her clothes with a suppressed smile.

Lin Huan leaned on the sofa, smoking a cigarette, and said to them, "Are you back? It's just right, I have something to tell you."

The two walked up one after another. Lin Huan shook the ashes and said, "Your elder brother will be back tonight. We will go out to have a picnic together next week. Mr. Zhu and the others will also go together. You guys, see you then." Elders, you have to look a little bit, you know?"

Lin Heng smiled like a well-behaved child: "Understood."

Bai Sihuan stared blankly, thinking to himself, since he came to Lin's house, he has never been taken out by his elders, this time, he wants to have dinner with someone like Mr. Zhu, and Cheng Sutang is willing to let him go?

Lin Huan ignored Bai Sihuan's stupefaction, and then told Lao Pei: "By the way, Lao Pei, take Sihuan to fix some better clothes."

Lao Pei nodded and said yes, ready to take Bai Sihuan out to customize clothes.

Lin Heng glanced at them, and quickly came up to put Bai Sihuan's shoulders: "I want to go too!" Turning his head, he whispered to Bai Sihuan, "I want you to choose your clothes."

Cheng Sutang frowned and called out, "Ah Heng."

She didn't like Lin Heng and Bai Sihuan being together, but before she could stop her, Lin Huan said, "Okay, you young people know young people better, let's go together."

Cheng Sutang snorted and stopped talking.

LaBella is a high-end clothing customization store, which customizes unique handmade clothing according to the requirements of customers.

The one who measured Bai Sihuan was a little girl who spoke softly and had a faint fragrance on her body.Bai Sihuan had never met such a girl before, so he was somewhat shy.As soon as she got close to Bai Sihuan, Bai Sihuan's ears turned red.The little girl asked a few words in his ear, and his face immediately turned as red as a steamer.

Lin Heng sat on the sofa and looked more and more uncomfortable, and said unhappily: "Measure the size, measure the size, do you have so much to say?"

Seeing that Lin Heng was unhappy, the little girl smiled and shut up knowingly, and stopped talking to Bai Sihuan.

When the bust was measured, the little girl accidentally touched Bai Sihuan's chest with both hands, and Lin Heng stood up directly and asked, "Where should I touch it?"

The little girl withdrew her hand, a bit speechless in her polite smile, as if she really wanted to say "Where are you looking" from the corner of her mouth.But she didn't dare to do so, she just said politely: "Isn't that the way to measure, Master Heng, you come here often, you know these steps best."

The displeasure on Lin Heng's face did not diminish, and he raised his eyebrows and asked her, "Did you measure it just now?"

The little girl's hands stiffened, and she smiled awkwardly: "You stopped me just now, and you didn't look carefully, you have to weigh it again."

"You need to measure your efficiency until dawn?" Lin Heng stretched out his hand, "Give me the tape measure, I'll do it."

The little girl smiled and offered the tape measure with both hands.

Lin Heng went up to measure Bai Sihuan's bust, his hands were more polite than that little girl's, I don't know whether he did it on purpose or not, he touched everything he could.Bai Sihuan shuddered, gritted his teeth and asked him in a low voice, "Where did you touch?"

Lin Heng said nonchalantly: "Didn't you listen to what she said, the measurements are all like this."

Bai Sihuan was speechless, the little girl laughed and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

The two finished measuring the size in the clothing store, consulted the pattern, and made the request. It was almost nine o'clock when they returned home.Five minutes after entering the door, Lin Siying came back in a hurry.

Seeing Lin Siying's return, Bai Sihuan's eyes lit up, and he shouted happily: "Brother!"

The strange thing is that this time Lin Siying did not show the same warmth and kindness towards Bai Sihuan as before. She gave a perfunctory "hmm", threw the backpack to the servant, and asked Lin Heng who was standing next to Bai Sihuan, "Where's Mom?"

Lin Heng said, "It's in the garden on the second floor."

Lin Siying went upstairs without looking back.

Lin Heng seemed to know what Lin Siying was looking for Cheng Sutang for, watching his back going upstairs, his expression gradually became serious.

Cheng Sutang was sitting under a parasol in the garden on the second floor, holding a Turkish Van cat presented by foreign personnel stationed in China. On the table were a bottle of foreign wine, a bucket of ice cubes, and an empty wine glass.

Lin Siying stood in front of Cheng Sutang and called out, "Mom."

Cheng Sutang looked at the epiphyllum that was about to bloom in front of him, but did not look at Lin Siying: "Are you back?"

Lin Siying stood still, did not speak, and looked awkwardly at Sister Xu who was standing beside Cheng Sutang.

Cheng Sutang knew what Lin Siying was thinking without even looking at Lin Siying's expression.He motioned to Sister Xu and said, "Sister Xu, you are tired too, I don't need anyone here anymore."

Sister Xu understood what she meant and left immediately.

After Sister Xu left, Lin Siying asked, "What's the matter with Ah Yan?"

Cheng Sutang's expression didn't change much, took a deep breath, and put the cat on the ground.She wiped her hands with a wet handkerchief, poured herself wine, and said, "Ah Yan? How long ago did you ask this?"

"Ha, how long ago did I find out about it? Why did I only ask this now?" Lin Siying said, and she also found it funny. "Is it because I just found out now, or you just let me know now? If I Don't let my friend fix my phone, I don't know that I have been intercepted so many messages!"

As if Cheng Sutang didn't want to go around this circle with him, he turned the wine glass in his hand: "What do you want to ask, why don't you ask clearly tonight."

With these words, the fire in Lin Siying's heart could no longer be contained.He asked this high-ranking mother half-accusingly: "When the elder sister was here, you said that the elder sister had to pay for the Lin family, and after the elder sister left, you said that I had to pay for the Lin family. Okay, we will listen to you, we will all be punished." Forced on this road, I was forced to go. At that time, you told me that there would be no next one, and now it’s Ah Yan’s turn? Who will be next? Sihuan? Ah Heng? ? Mom, how can you not count your words! "

Cheng Sutang finished drinking a glass of wine, threw the glass heavily on the table, turned to look at Lin Siying and asked angrily: "Why did you talk to me? I thought your elder sister didn't understand me, but you would understand me, but I didn't expect you to do the same! She patted her chest and said, "Who am I doing this for? Isn't it for the Lin family? Isn't it for your children and grandchildren? Is it for myself?!"

"Isn't it for yourself! You traded your own daughter and used your own son as a scapegoat. After the eldest sister's affairs were revealed, in order not to implicate your reputation, you arranged for the eldest sister to marry a scumbag, and declared that she was the eldest sister. If you are stubborn, the person you choose will sever ties with Eldest Sister to show your clarity! Eldest Sister will ruin her entire life because of you!" Lin Siying took a breath and continued to blame, "If the overseas money cannot be laundered, it will all be transferred to me. account, let me stand in front of you as your shield. How old was I at that time? I was only sixteen and just about to start high school! You sent me to study abroad, saying it was for my own good. But you were afraid of those People chased me and asked you these secrets! For so many years, I couldn't go home, and I had to pretend to be stupid when I got home. Have you tried to consider my feelings?"

The eldest son, who was always gentle and smirking on weekdays, suddenly broke out tonight, and said everything he should say. Cheng Sutang felt his nerves were stimulated, and his tone was bad: "What's the matter with you tonight? God keeps nagging, thanks to the fact that you and Kingsley are often together, why haven't you learned anything about him? Why are you going crazy now!"

"Yeah, I'm not as good as Kingsley, I can't watch my family being pushed into the fire pit and still pretend not to know! You said again and again that there is no next one, so what about Ah Yan? How did Ah Yan respond? thing!"

Cheng Sutang saw that he was getting more and more agitated, and knew that if this continued, the whole family would be disturbed.She took a deep breath, forced herself to regain her composure, and said the truth that she thought she had a clear conscience: "I didn't design Ah Yan to marry a scumbag, and I didn't let her be my scapegoat. It was she who didn't want this family and ran away by herself of."

Lin Siying laughed dryly, and asked back, "You didn't let her marry a scumbag, so did you sell her to a scumbag?"

These words enraged Cheng Sutang immediately, and immediately showed his majesty at home, glared at him and scolded: "What crazy talk are you talking about? After all, you are a person studying abroad, and you still don't know the importance of what you say?"

In the past, when her mother was angry, Lin Siying would immediately back down, but this time she did not compromise.He looked directly into Cheng Sutang's eyes, as if he had to ask for an accurate answer.

Cheng Sutang had no choice but to rub his temples and said, "You are tired, go back and have a good rest. Don't mention these things in the future. Anyway, Mom assures you that from now on, nothing like this will happen again. Both Ah Heng and that woman's son will be fine."

Lin Siying was silent for half a minute, and after careful consideration, she decided to back down a step: "You better keep your word this time."

He turned and left the garden. When Cheng Sutang looked forward again, the epiphyllum had been in full bloom for a while, and the best period had long been missed.Cheng Sutang stared at it, staring at it slowly withering.
