Play bone

Only the previous generation can clarify the grievances and grievances of the previous generation, and it has nothing to do with Shen Xingze himself.But then again - did his mother's sense of instability also subtly affect Shen Xingze, and then created Shen Xingze's current paranoid personality?

Lu Li thinks this makes sense, but right now is not the time to break up this relationship.So he just casually sighed that it is worthy of being a rich and powerful family, and even the family relationship is like a court political drama.

Shen Xingze smiled and didn't take it seriously, but looked at Lu Li with a more serious look.

"Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. Your father may have his own difficulties. I heard you mention it occasionally before. He is a door-to-door son-in-law. Maybe he also has ambitions and dreams, but he can't realize them because he is dependent on others. The form of redemption exploded."

"I disagree with you."

Lu Li's voice suddenly became sharp.

"What's wrong with the door-to-door son-in-law? If you feel that it's uncomfortable to live under the fence, you should put it forward decisively at that time. While enjoying the various favorable conditions of your wife's family, you feel that your ambition is not rewarded, and you will pat your ass and leave when disaster strikes—this What is it? Since a person lives in the family and society, there is no way to escape his responsibilities, how can there be any reason why all the good things are taken up by him?!"

He finished these words in one breath, his chest heaving up and down with excitement.Everything that happened in the original family was too bitter, and it still makes him angry.

Facing his uncalmness, Shen Xingze appeared unusually calm.

"Look, you actually understand the truth. It's just that you don't want to apply it to yourself."

"I didn't shirk my responsibility!"

Lu Li retorted habitually: "One person is full, the whole family... No, anyway, even if I make a literary film, it is enough to feed me and my mother."

Shen Xingze didn't refute, but just looked at Lu Li with a deep and complicated gaze that couldn't be seen through.

Even though he was blowing his hair, but being stared at by such calm eyes, the fire in Lu Xin's heart was suppressed, and only his mouth was still whispering.

"So... are you speaking for my old man, or are you teaching me a lesson in a different way?"

"What do you say?"

Shen Xingze still stared into his eyes with sincerity.

"Your dad has nothing to do with me at all. The only thing I care about is you."

------------

At ten o'clock the next morning, on the 27th floor of Xingying Building, not far from Shen Xingze's private residence.In the meeting room of the concentrating company, a meeting with a weird atmosphere is in progress.

This was also the first time Lu Li, who attended the meeting in the name of an assistant, saw his father in person after nearly ten years.

The man in the prime of his memory, aged 50 to [-], is now gray at the temples.The handsome man in the old parents' wedding photos is gone, and what remains is an old Shar-Pei dog with wrinkled face, sagging skin, and dull and irrelevant eyes.

Perhaps, the prison life of nearly ten years has already completed a double torture both physically and mentally for this man.But even so, it still couldn't arouse Lu Li's sympathy.

Because Lu Li saw the smile on his face - an undisguised, expectant, award-winning smile.

Due to Shen Xingze's clear instructions, Juxing Company has provided a high degree of cooperation in various matters related to the handover of the inheritance.Only rejected the excessive request to contact the TV station for the live broadcast of the funeral.

The concise but efficient meeting lasted for an hour, and the implementation details of various tasks were basically negotiated.Shen Xingze had originally instructed the company to host a lunch, but the old man was probably in a hurry to count his son's belongings, so he didn't accept the invitation.

Around 11:30, the two groups of people dispersed separately.

Shen Xing chose to lead Lu to his office—of course it was not the transparent glass cubicle where Anna and the others used their daily work, but a high-end suite including a temporary lounge, toilet and office.

Lu Li has always liked the view from the floor-to-ceiling windows here.The core business district with many mansions is full of futuristic sense of metal texture; especially when the sun sets, the glass curtain walls are all dyed golden in the sunset, just like a city of gold.

But today, he was in a bad mood, just looking out the window in a daze.

How could Shen Xing choose not understand his mood, so he didn't take the initiative to provoke him.The two lived in peace for about 5 minutes, and the pre-ordered meals were brought in.It was rare for Shen Xingze to take the initiative to arrange all the bowls and chopsticks neatly, and also served a bowl of soup, so he asked Lu Li to move the chopsticks.

"This dish is good, eat it while it's hot."

But Lu Li's heart was not calm.Before subsiding, he could take for granted that he was a three-year-old.

"I can't eat it."

"Why punish yourself for someone else's problems."

"I don't, I just can't eat it."

Seeing that the conversation had reached a stalemate, Shen Xingze suddenly turned serious and raised his voice.

"Have a meal!"

Lu Li, who was looking out the window with his chin resting on his back, was so frightened that he sat upright. After recovering, he glared at Shen Xingze angrily, but after all, he obediently picked up the bowl and started drinking the soup.

Shen Xingxuan's taste is unmistakable, and the appetizer soup is indeed delicious.The taste of cream and green curry blended together, accompanied by the sweetness of shrimp and crab, which not only opened up the taste buds, but also distracted Lu Li's attention to a certain extent.

Just as he was looking at the soup bowl, thinking about whether he should put aside his face and take the initiative to fill the second bowl, Shen Xingze naturally took his bowl and added soup.

"Have you noticed that your dad has been avoiding my eyes the whole time just now?"

"Isn't it normal to feel ashamed?"

Lu Li dropped a piece of chicken in coconut milk into Shen Xingxuan's bowl.

"He also knows that you are my classmate and boss, and he may feel that looking at you is like meeting me."

"Maybe."

Shen Xing chose to hand the bowl back to Lu Li.

"Do you mind if I ask a question, why did your mother marry your father?"

"What else can I do, the appearance of the rich woman. Don't look at the old man's current virtues. He was very handsome when he was young, and he learned oil painting. It is said that there are quite a lot of women who pursue him."

"Oil painting has nothing to do with business management."

"It doesn't matter, and it should be said that art and business are still sworn enemies to some extent."

Nodding his head, Lu Li stopped his chopsticks and glanced at Shen Xingze suspiciously: "You're not playing tricks on me again, are you trying to educate me?"

"how come."

The man ate the chicken he had picked up with his own hands.

"You think more about yourself than I do. I don't need to say anything at all."

--------

That afternoon, Lu Li learned from Shen Xingze that the "funeral" was scheduled to take place three days later - it sounded a bit hasty, but in fact it was because of a clause proposed by Star Gathering: the funeral must be completed before the funeral. auction.

Although he knew it was a false funeral, Shen Xingze decided to attend the ceremony.And as "Daluli's life assistant", the current "Little Luli" was even invited to attend.

He was originally unwilling to participate, but like Shen Xingze, he is now considered a public figure.Every move may trigger a moral trial by those with ulterior motives; sometimes even if you perceive danger, you can only bite the bullet and move on.

Three days later, in the morning, it was rainy and rainy, which is rare in Beijing.The funeral convoy headed west along the crossing line of old Beijing.When they arrived at the destination, there were already a bunch of media reporters waiting in the parking lot.

The cemetery chosen by Lu Li's father is located in a newly developed cemetery.There are gossip that the cemetery operator offered the invitation and welcomed the stars to "stay" with generous treatment.

But all of this doesn't matter - anyway, Lu Li knew that the mahogany urn that Shen Xing chose to hand over to the old man contained only a pile of ashes of cats and dogs that had been abandoned in the pet hospital.All were smashed into pieces so finely that most people could not distinguish the species at all.

In a sense, this is probably the best actor in this funeral performance, the real "drama".

When the auspicious time came, the old man came to the selected grave with the "urn" in his hand, surrounded by staff members holding black umbrellas and mourners.

In all fairness, this is indeed a spacious and luxurious cemetery with good Fengshui.It's a pity that due to hasty preparations, the tombstone and the tomb pavilion are completely ready-made. The Erlong Xizhu and the lion hydrangea seem to be more suitable for an old man who has four generations under the same roof and is dying.

It was different from what Lu Li was worried about - his father behaved very normally throughout the funeral.Steady, silent, sad.Those who were not familiar thought he hadn't recovered from the loss of his son.

From going up the mountain to the burial, and then to the short but gimmicky ceremony, the whole process took less than one and a half hours.Among all the mourners, Lu Li and Shen Xingxuan had the most special identities, so they simply took advantage of this privilege and became inseparable.

After the sacrifice pile in front of the grave is extinguished, the funeral is considered complete.Since there was no follow-up interview arrangement, reporters and Internet promoters left one after another.Others made their way back to the parking lot to eat at restaurants they had reserved.

When going down the mountain, the old man took two steps and came to Shen Xingze and Lu Li's side.When Lu Li saw him approaching, he felt uncomfortable all over.Shen Xing chose to see through but didn't say anything, but he quickened his feet half a step, cleverly blocking the way between the father and son.

The old man came to them, just to exchange some pleasantries, and by the way, make friends with Shen Xing.Shen Xingxuan originally wanted to deal with the matter, but somehow he changed his mind and started talking instead.

When they talked about today's funeral, the old man lamented that he had been imprisoned abroad for so many years, and when he came back, he was nothing but a human being, and it was not easy to achieve this level.

Shen Xingzhuo also nodded: "If Lu Li knows, he will thank you for everything you have done for him."

Lu Li next to him heard it and almost let out a sneer from his nose.

But the old man himself shrugged with a smile: "Who knows who's child, that kid has shared his nostrils with his mother since he was a child, I'm afraid he will always hate me."

Shen Xingze didn't refute, but just asked him a meaningful question.

"And you? What kind of affection do you have for the son you have just buried?"

As if sensing the wit in his words, the old man raised his slack eyelids, and there was some activity in his eyes, but his mouth remained silent.

The three of them walked down dozens of steps slowly, and the parking lot was already in front of them.Just when Lu Li thought this unpleasant event was finally over, he suddenly heard his father sigh.

"At this point, it doesn't matter what you say. After all, I am almost penniless and have no relatives. You say... other than 'relying on' this son, is there any other way to make a living? Some things have never been I need to tell outsiders. But over the years, I have sacrificed a lot for that family, and now I just want to get back what I deserve.”

Hearing what he said up to this point, before Shen Xingze said anything, Lu Li finally couldn't help it.

"Let's not talk about the previous things, the funeral is fine, but if you auction off your son's personal belongings, don't you worry that his privacy will be spread out?!"

Because of his agitation, he failed to control the volume, which immediately attracted the attention of people around him.And all the curious eyes quickly disappeared under Shen Xingze's cold glance.

In the end, the only ones who stared at each other were the father and son who did not know each other.

The old man's gaze lingered on Lu Li for a moment.

"Oh...you, that Lu Li who has the same name and surname as my son?"

"It doesn't matter."

Lu Li didn't intend to give up on his questioning: "Aren't you trying to avoid my question?!"

"...It's not necessary."

The old man shook his head slowly, as if making a pun.

"He chose to be a public figure by himself, so he should have been mentally prepared for this long ago."

"If you are an actor, you should be stripped naked to see your bottom up?"

Lu Li was sure that he didn't have high blood pressure, but at this moment he felt the blood vessels in his temples throbbing violently.

"As a son, everything behind him is left to you. But you...can't you leave him with some last bit of dignity?"

This has already been said quite mercilessly, but the old man did not show any guilt at all.On the contrary, his turbid eyes wandered a few times on Lu Li's face, showing an expression that was almost contemptuous.

"...I thought we were comrades-in-arms in the trenches. After all, didn't you once tell millions of netizens about the past between you and my son, so what are you doing for it? To give him some The last dignity, or to preserve yourself?"

"I--"

Lu Li's face was already flushed red, and he clenched his fists as if trying to restrain himself.

Seeing that the situation was not looking good, Shen Xing chose to intervene at the right time to stop the debate that was doomed to be fruitless.

Afterwards, Lu Li and Shen Xingze did not attend the lunch.

The author has something to say: Children's behavior is largely influenced by their elders.

Both Shen Xingze and Lu Li were like this.

So the appearance of Lu's father is actually explaining the source of some of Lu Li's paranoid ideas.

Also because of Father Lu's appearance, Lu Li was able to face up to these problems and think deeply about his own problems~~
