scapegoat

The atmosphere on the floor where Mr. Hongsheng is located is not right today.

No matter who it is, as long as it is close to that office, it will be noticed.

The weird feeling not only came from Mr. Ling's office alone, but even the reference room opposite was different from the usual deserted, full of anger of "stay away from me".

Su Huiyun delivered the documents early in the morning, and silently wrote a note in her heart: There is a quarrel!

The truth of the matter can't be considered a quarrel, it can only be said to be Xiao Yang's unilateral explosion.

But he is used to being depressed, no matter how upset he is, he won't make a fuss, the only way he behaves is to ignore people.

Lang Zhongming was helpless.

It's just to wake Xiao Yang up earlier, so that he can lose an hour of sleep. Why is he so angry?Is there a cold war now?

Mr. Lang, who didn't know what bedtime was all about since he was a child, couldn't understand a salted fish's desire to "stay for a while", so he secretly compromised and decided to let him sleep for another 10 minutes tomorrow.

Xiao Yang made a fuss all morning with a cold face. At noon, Lang Zhongjin came to meet his brother for dinner. He wanted to invite him to join him, but he was slapped back.

Lang Zhongjin looked innocent: "Brother Xiao Yang, what's wrong?"

Lang Zhongming pinched the bridge of his nose: "I didn't get enough sleep this morning, I'm angry, let Su Huiyun bring him something to eat later."

Lang Zhongming finally realized the reality. Xiao Yang didn't cherish his health at all. If no one supervised him, he could stay in the office all day without eating or drinking.

Xiao Yang watched the backs of the two brothers disappear in the elevator in the office, feeling a little uneasy besides the resentment from the morning.

Thinking of the conversation he heard yesterday, he would not dare to have dinner with Lang Zhongjin now: What if someone wants to harm his brother and accidentally hurt him?

Lang Zhongjin, who didn't know that he had been included in the list of dangerous elements, took his brother to a newly opened Thai restaurant.

This was the first time the two brothers ate out alone after their grandfather passed away. Lang Zhongjin seemed to have regained his former vitality. Lang Zhongming was so happy that he even ordered a bottle of wine.

After drinking for three rounds, both of them talked a lot.

Lang Zhongming clasped the table with his fingers, his face was serious, but his eyes showed drunkenness.

The voice was also tired: "I really can't figure it out..."

Lang Zhongjin grinned, and smiled heartlessly: "Can't figure out what? Can't figure out why we are so rich?"

Lang Zhongming hummed weakly twice, and said, "I want to treat him better, why doesn't he appreciate it?"

Lang Zhongjin raised his eyebrows: "You mean Brother Xiao Yang?"

Lang Zhongming pulled the corner of his mouth downwards, his expression became even more ugly: "Who else can there be?"

Lang Zhongjin twirled the wine glass in his hand, watching the light-colored liquid in it glowing colorfully under the light.

"I thought you hated him...Brother, in fact, you are also interested in Brother Xiao Yang, right?"

Lang Zhongming frowned: "Go, go! I just think that as long as he doesn't cause trouble, there's nothing wrong with being friends? But... I'll treat him better, he's as cold as a wooden man."

Lang Zhongjin looked at his brother silently, and after a long time, he said softly: "Brother, I may have done something wrong, don't blame me."

Lang Zhongming smiled: "What?"

"One time before, I saw brother Xiao Yang going into the puddle where the electricity leaked, and his expression was very strange, as if... like he was about to commit suicide. I lied to him that there might be something hidden about his parents' accident back then. My original intention was Let him have something in his heart, I don't know how much he believes, and what he thinks..."

Lang Zhongming was a little dazed at first, but the more he listened, the more he became sober.

"Do you think he will hold a grudge, that's why he is so indifferent to you?"

At this moment, Lang Zhongming felt that the temperature had dropped several degrees for no reason, as if in an instant, his limbs became icy cold, and the chill from his bones rushed straight to his forehead.

"He...does he suspect our family?"

Lang Zhongjin also tried to comfort his brother: "No, no, no, if he doubts, he doubts Dad alone. Anyway, Dad has a domineering and selfish temper, and this is none of our business."

Lang Zhongming stopped talking.

No wonder Xiao Yang is always indifferent to him and the entire Ying family. Perhaps in his heart, these people are the chief culprits who killed his parents and ruined his happy life.

Lang Zhongjin looked anxious: "Brother... I'm sorry... I saw that you hated Brother Xiao Yang so much before, so I just wanted to find a way to let him live a good life. I didn't think so much..."

Lang Zhongming shook his head, but he couldn't speak to comfort his younger brother.

Because now he himself is very disturbed.He didn't want Xiao Yang to regard him as an enemy.

If what he did before can be compensated by taking care of him day after day, how can he get rid of such a big crime now?

They were not at the scene of what happened back then, so it is impossible to determine which one is the truth. Once Xiao Yang has such doubts, he may never completely let go of it for the rest of his life.

I don't know what Xiao Yang is thinking.

Lang Zhongming was flustered, and this originally warm brother's dinner also changed its taste, and in the end it was done hastily.

When he returned to his office, he still hadn't cleared up his thoughts, and he didn't even dare to look at the person in the opposite office.

When he gets along with himself every day, he doesn't know what he is thinking.

Will you feel sick?Disgusted?Hate?

Lang Zhongming didn't dare to think about it, and even doubted why his parents were the first to get on the lifeboat.

Of course, the survivors will speak unanimously in a direction that is beneficial to them, even Molly's parents... may not be credible.

What happened back then is irreversible, and the truth is hard to ascertain. The key is what Xiao Yang will think.

Lang Zhongming let out a long breath, got up and went to the sink to wake up with cold water.

When he got off work, Lang Zhongming was suddenly not sure whether Xiao Yang would like to take his car back.

But from the window, I saw the crowds of people at the bus stop on the road, and felt that they had been sent back and forth several times anyway. Xiao Yang didn't mind, so what did he mind?

After the fire in the morning, Xiao Yang seemed to be in a good mood at this moment.

Lang Zhongming wanted to ask several times, but he swallowed the words abruptly.

Xiao Yang turned his head and looked out the window all the way, and didn't say a word until he got off the car.Such a situation is also normal, but in the eyes of Lang Zhongming today, it is extremely uncomfortable.

"Ahem...well...if you really can't get up in the morning...I'd better adjust your working hours later."

A look of surprise flashed across Xiao Yang's face for a moment, but it was quickly covered up by indifference.

"No, I'll set the alarm clock myself tomorrow, so you don't have to call it."

Lang Zhongming thought for a while: "Why don't you let Xiaofeng put part of the breakfast in an insulated box and take it to the company? You don't have to have a meeting in the morning, and it's okay to have some breakfast, so you can sleep more."

Xiao Yang glanced at Lang Zhongming strangely, probably thinking about what happened to this man today, and then remembered that he had been having problems recently, so he didn't go into it further.

Besides, it was his wish to get up later, so naturally he didn't refuse.

It's just that for the next whole week, Lang Zhongming was in great pain because he "did not dare to face Xiao Yang and couldn't help but go up to him to give him warmth".

The most ridiculous thing is that he is the only one who is anxious in his heart. Xiao Yang has a cold face from the beginning to the end, and he never wavers.

I was so worried for several days, and finally it was the weekend.

Weekends are always the time when Xiao Yang feels most relaxed, especially when he doesn't need to go out, he will put on his pajamas and sit with his legs curled up on the window sill all afternoon, basking in the sun or reading novels.

Lang Zhongming originally wanted to buy him a computer, but found that Xiao Yang didn't like it very much, so he had to give up.

Xiao Yang really doesn't like computers.

For him, the computer is just a tool for doing things. Facing the dark screen, all he can think of is work, not a toy for entertainment.

On Saturday, Xiao Yang didn't get up until lunch time as usual, and he became much more energetic after resting.

No one has made things difficult for him recently, but he can eat and sleep well, and his face is a little fleshy.

Lang Zhongming was secretly relieved, but recalled the past, and became entangled again.

In any case, he always wanted to know what Xiao Yang was thinking.

Taking a deep breath, Lang Zhongming walked to the door of Xiao Yang's room with his heart full of worries.

After knocking on the door, there was the sound of walking inside.Xiao Yang opened the door for him.

Lang Zhongming coughed twice and said, "Can I come in? I have something to ask you..."

Xiao Yang frowned: "What information is missing?"

Lang Zhongming quickly shook his head: "No, it's something else."

Xiao Yang was silent for a while, no emotion could be seen on his face, and finally he just said lightly: "Just ask here."

Lang Zhongming turned his head and looked downstairs. Fortunately, everyone was taking a nap at this time, and there was no one outside. He immediately broke his heart, and after holding back for a few days, he finally said: "I heard Zhong Jin say...he told you that you Is there something strange about parents having an accident?"

Xiao Yang was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect him to come to ask about this.

"I asked Uncle Mo and Auntie Mo, and they said that my parents offered to step aside..."

Looking at the calm expression on Xiao Yang's face, Lang Zhongming was not sure that he really believed that what he said now was just a consolation.

"Then... do you doubt Ling Quan?"

Xiao Yang was silent for a while, Lang Zhongming already knew the answer.

This is normal, if it were him, he would not be able to fully believe that his parents never forced Xiao Yang's parents to give up their seats.

Xiao Yang looked up at him, and finally said softly: "I don't know, but as my parents are, it's not surprising that they give up seats, not to mention...your mother was still pregnant at that time..."

Lang Zhongming looked at Xiao Yang in surprise.

Xiao Yang's cold eyes and expression were only tinged with pride and regret when he talked about his parents.

Lang Zhongming knew in his heart that Xiao Yang didn't believe in Ling Quan, but he believed in his kind parents.

Perhaps in Xiao Yang's heart, he had always hated the Ling family, but he was too kind, so he hated it quietly.

Lang Zhongming adjusted his facial expression: "It's okay, I'm just afraid that you will feel uncomfortable... If you really think that I or my brother hate you, at worst, scold us a few times, and we promise not to talk back."

Xiao Yang was taken aback: "Why should I hate your brother?" He asked, and then felt that he might have misunderstood Lang Zhongming's meaning.

He thought that Lang Zhongming was aware of some of his younger brother's actions and asked this question, but maybe he just put himself and his younger brother in the same position as descendants of the Lang family.

Of course Lang Zhongming didn't think that his younger brother would be sorry for Xiao Yang. Xiao Yang's rhetorical question sounded ironic to him.

That's right, among the rest of the family, the one who feels sorry for Xiao Yang the most is himself. If Xiao Yang hates him, he will only hate him. He still has time to worry about his brother.

Molly was right, it was a miracle that Xiao Yang didn't kill him.

The author has something to say:

There will be no double endings!Before this option was outlined, I finally dropped the X!

It’s almost Chinese New Year, thank you for entering the pit, maybe the scumbag setting is particularly annoying, if you want to write such a person in place, you are really scumbag, everyone hates him... I will slowly write from the perspective of Lang Zhongming some of his psychological changes.

Xiao Yang is not M, nor does he love Lang Zhongming, but at the same time he is not a tough and aggressive person.

I will try my best to be reasonable in the next plot direction, so as to avoid the friends who have entered the pit from feeling unhappy in the end.

Thank you for reading, and I will continue to fill in the soil in the new year! 【bow】
