scapegoat

Lang Zhongming stayed up most of the night, and only took a short nap near dawn.

Xiao Yang hadn't gotten up when he left the room, but Lang Zhongjin was already sitting at the table having breakfast.

"Brother, why do you look so bad?"

Lang Zhongming lamented that the younger brother still cared about him even if he was away from home, and said: "It's okay, I'll stay up late."

Lang Zhongjin asked: "I took out your camera yesterday to play with it, did you take it back?"

Lang Zhongming's heart aches when he thinks of the camera: "You brother Xiao Yang went berserk last night, the camera broke, and I don't have time to fix it."

Lang Zhongjin volunteered: "I'll take it for you, I'm fine anyway."

Lang Zhongming thought for a while, then nodded: "That's fine, I'll get it myself after I fix it later." After finishing speaking, he went to the room to bring out the broken camera and handed it to his younger brother.

It's still early, and I'm not in a hurry to wake Xiao Yang up.

Lang Zhongming sat at the same table for breakfast with his younger brother for the first time this month, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that time flies, the children who used to cling to him have grown up, and they don't want to stay at home anymore.

"What have you been up to lately?"

While eating eggs, Lang Zhongming pretended to ask casually.

Lang Zhongjin replied with a smile: "I met a few new friends, so I followed them to the running club or something."

Lang Zhongming paused: "Qiu Ran?"

Lang Zhongjin smiled: "I don't know Young Master Qiu very well, but I met many other friends through him."

At this time, Xiao Yang heard the sound of opening the window in his room, probably because he got up.Lang Zhongming quickly asked Xiaofeng to reheat Xiao Yang's milk.

Lang Zhongjin looked up at the clock, put down the chopsticks in his hand: "It's almost time, I have an appointment with someone, let's go first!"

Lang Zhongming told him to "be careful on the road" and leave him alone.It is impossible to keep the child when he grows up.

As soon as Lang Zhongjin went out with the broken camera, Lang Zhongming's cell phone rang.

He took it out and saw that it was Ke Chen.

Lang Zhongming was a little strange. He didn't know what urgent matter could make this master call him early in the morning.

"Hello? What's wrong?"

Ke Chen's voice was a little anxious: "Do you still remember the time when you and Molly were rumored?"

Lang Zhongming smiled: "What happened to me? Why, don't you feel relieved that everyone has been brought home by you?"

Ke Chen is really anxious now: "I'm not joking with you. Molly just heard someone say that the person who provided photos to Star Entertainment's front line was your younger brother! I want to ask you if you know what he did. !"

Lang Zhongming was taken aback: "No way... I made a mistake? How is it possible?"

Ke Chen asked again: "You really don't know?"

Lang Zhongming also became anxious: "Impossible! Why is my brother doing such a thing?"

Ke Chen interrupted him rudely on the other end of the phone: "Let me put my ugly words first, there must be something wrong with your brother, I also heard that he had contact with Qin Linlin's father, if I really find out what's wrong with him Thoughts will affect me and Molly's family, I definitely can't tolerate him."

Lang Zhongming stood up: "Don't worry, I'll check it out later. If he really has a problem, it's my younger brother. I'll have to deal with it."

Lang Zhongming hung up the phone and sat down again, but lost his appetite looking at the food in front of him.

He believed that Ke Chen would not talk nonsense, but he never doubted his younger brother.

In his eyes, Lang Zhongjin will always be the child who can't grow up.Everyone in the family pampered and held it in their hands.

How could he...

Lang Zhongming thought about it, wondering whether he should believe what Ke Chen said.

He recalled his younger brother's usual behavior. Although he really didn't go home very much recently, and his relationship with him has faded, but before...he was always very close to him!

He never put any defenses against this younger brother, he shared everything, even the key to the safe in the office, Lang Zhongjin had a set there, just for the convenience of him to store some statues.

correct!The key to the safe... Lang Zhongjin also has one!

At this moment, Lang Zhongming suddenly realized that he had ignored this possibility before.

The one who knows him, knows Xiao Yang, is familiar with everyone in Hongsheng, can hear many things, and can get this information... is his precious brother.

Thinking of this, Lang Zhongming broke out in a cold sweat.

how can that be possible? !

Xiao Yang's door opened.

Lang Zhongming raised his head and saw Xiao Yang walking out with his collar folded in a calm manner.

Xiao Yang...

Lang Zhongming suddenly pushed aside the chair vigorously and stood up, then walked out without saying a word.

Xiao Yang gave him a strange look, and then cast a puzzled look at Xiaofeng.

Xiaofeng brought out Xiao Yang's breakfast: "The head seems to be chasing after the second young master. I just heard him talk on the phone and said that there is a problem."

Xiao Yang remembered how he saw Lang Zhongjin go out through the window in his room, and asked, "I see Zhong Jin took a big thing out, what is that?"

Xiaofeng replied: "Second young master took the video camera of the master to repair."

Xiao Yang froze for a moment, and stayed where he was.

He knew best what was in that machine.

Lang Zhongming also thought of this, so he hurriedly chased him out.

But at this time, Lang Zhongjin had long since disappeared, where else could he go to find him?

While driving the car, Lang Zhongming thought about where Lang Zhongjin would go at the moment.

He probably wouldn't take the camera to the original shop for repairs, lest Lang Zhongming pick it up by himself, and he wouldn't be able to get the documents.He's either looking for a personal relationship to fix it, or...he's going to make a move directly!

Lang Zhongming realized that he really didn't know anything about this younger brother.

He immediately called Qiu Ran and asked about the cafe Lang Zhongjin often went to.It was a quite secluded street, and I heard that Lang Zhongjin often discussed business there.

Lang Zhongming now thinks about the "businesses" that his younger brother talked about, and suddenly shudders—who knows if there is any black business in these "businesses" that harms others?

Lang Zhongming turned the car into a small bend, got out of the car and walked to the cafe.

Lang Zhongjin was really inside.

He was sitting by the window, and the person opposite was a senior editor of Star Entertainment.

The camera was no longer in Lang Zhongjin's hands, but was taken by the editor and put in the bag behind his back, with only one side exposed.

Lang Zhongming took a deep breath: It seems that there is no mistake.

Very good - the baby their family has spoiled for so many years really has the unfeeling and viciousness passed down from the Lang family.

Lang Zhongming strode into the store, and heard Lang Zhongjin say, "After it's repaired, you copy what you want, and you have to return the machine to me."

The front-line editors of Star Entertainment looked up and saw Lang Zhongming walking towards him, and his face turned pale.Lang Zhongjin sensed something was wrong, turned his head suddenly, and met his brother who was stabbing him in the eye.

"Brother...why are you here?"

Lang Zhongming paused: "Give me back the machine."

That editor didn't dare to make a mistake at this time, let alone Hongsheng's big boss, Lang Zhongming's sense of oppression alone made him cower, and hurriedly returned the unrepaired machine as it was.

The editor wanted to explain something else: "Zhong Jin and I are old friends, and he asked me to help him fix it..."

But Lang Zhongjin interrupted him: "Stop talking—brother, since you came here, you already know everything, right?"

Lang Zhongming sneered: "You are self-aware. Come home with me."

There was nothing else to say at this moment, Lang Zhongjin could only follow him out of the cafe and got into his brother's car.

The two of them were very silent along the way, and the thoughts in their hearts were turning back and forth, but there was no way to go back to the past.

Lang Zhongming sent Xiao Yang a text message, telling him not to go to work yet.

He wanted to know if his younger brother was sorry for Xiao Yang.

After entering the house, the calm mask on the surface was also torn off.

Lang Zhongjin saw that there was no chance to hide any more, so he just kept on doing nothing and made a fuss by himself first.

"Yo, you really care about this bitch, why, do you want me to apologize to him?"

Lang Zhongming's face turned red with anger, he endured it for a long time, and finally he could only say "why".

Lang Zhongjin showed no remorse on his flamboyant face: "It doesn't matter why, I just can't get used to him."

Xiao Yang bowed his head in silence.

Lang Zhongming was angry: "How did he offend you? How long have you been in contact with him?"

Lang Zhongjin smiled: "Brother, do you still remember what you said about him before?"

Lang Zhongming was stunned.

Lang Zhongjin was still smiling, but the smile couldn't get into his eyes: "You say he is a bitch, that he just wants to climb into your bed, that you are the most disgusting that he posted it by himself. I don't know what you said to grandpa. I heard it, what now? How? Was he moved?"

Lang Zhongming was speechless.

In the past, he humiliated Xiao Yang even more than that. Everyone in the family looked down on Xiao Yang.

These are all the foolishness he committed in the past, and now they have become the sharpest knives, cutting on the hearts of him and those he cares about.

Lang Zhongjin refused to let go: "This family looks beautiful, but in fact it has been rotten inside. Lang Quan regards us as a burden, and Lang Dewen only cares about the interests of the so-called family. You... brother, you are not a good thing. "

"You obviously want to get involved with this bitch, but you still pretend to be like you despise him... I'm ashamed of you!"

"Brother Xiao Yang, you too... Acting like you want to refuse or welcome, you are really playing a good trick. Don't you just want to seduce a Xiaokai who can take care of you? How many people who came out of the prison are clean? It's been a long time ago Get used to it!"

Xiao Yang didn't respond, but Lang Zhongming slammed his fist on the coffee table, smashing a large piece of glass shelf, and the joints of his hands were bleeding.

"Lang Zhongjin! Don't go too far! Xiao Yang looks down on our family at all! It's not what you think!"

Lang Zhongjin smiled: "Oh, that's brother, are you cheap?"

Lang Zhongming paused, and said: "I'm cheap, I like him, and he wants to chase him back after I've suffered a misfortune! So what? You don't need to teach me a lesson!"

Xiao Yang gave the two brothers a cold look, and felt that they were both similarly insane, and no one was better than the other.

Lang Zhongjin continued to vent the resentment in his heart: "Brother, you know that Dad has a woman outside, right? Grandpa also knows, but none of you said it... Mom was obviously pissed off by him, and you still rely on me— ——Also said that she died in childbirth when I was born——If Lang Quan doesn’t go out to fool around, my mother won’t die at all!”

"What is Lang Quan? His wife is dead, and there are two sons and an old man at home. He doesn't take care of us, so he leaves us to Uncle Gong, and he goes out every day to have fun! Brother, if it weren't for us, he would have married a long time ago." That woman is gone, you know? For him, the one he and that woman are outside is called home!"

Lang Zhongjin roared, and Lang Zhongming was speechless for a while.

He originally thought that Lang Zhongjin was pure-hearted and didn't know about these secret matters.Unexpectedly, he not only knew, but also kept it in his heart for so long.

"Zhong Jin...it's Dad's fault, it doesn't matter if he doesn't love you, he doesn't care about this family, there's me, and grandpa..."

Lang Zhongjin smiled wryly: "Brother... No one has ever really cared about me. Since I was a child, my grandfather let me play casually, but I also wanted to do something for the family...Brother... At the beginning, I was really just unwilling That's all... I think I can do things, I can do better than you..."

"My connections are no worse than yours. I already know half of the future in C City. Why should I just be an idler? You dirty people just have fun on your own? I'm not convinced!"

Lang Zhongming: "You can tell us about this kind of thing! You can tell us what you think!"

"I just did a little trick at the beginning. After the first time, I couldn't help but do the second time... I guess Grandpa always knew, he just didn't say it. In fact, I also blame him. Why did he do it in the first place? Don't bring me back...Brother, I didn't mean to hurt you...I just...hate my family..."

Lang Zhongjin looked at his brother, all the maintenance and care in the past probably disappeared.

From now on, he and this family are completely separated.

Lang Zhongming was silent for a long time, and said, "Pack up your things, and I'll take you to America."

Lang Zhongjin didn't refuse, but smiled instead: "Brother, if you had talked to me more when I was young, would everything be different?"

Lang Zhongjin was really lonely when he was a child. At that time, Lang Dewen didn't completely retire, and Lang Quan almost didn't regard this place as his home. Lang Zhongming, who was an older brother, didn't like his newly added younger brother at first.

In the entire Lang family, the only one who grew up with him was Butler Gong.

But Butler Gong is not a kind person, he just follows the rules and does things at fixed times, and doesn't care about the rest.

Lang Dewen trusted him only because he liked him, but it was not a good choice for him to take care of the children.

Lang Zhongming knew that there was no way to get back on this matter, so he could only send his brother out for a while before talking about it.

Lang Zhongjin is a proud person, and he doesn't know if he can live a good life when he goes to the United States alone, and whether he can put aside the past and start his life again.

He just had a wrong mentality, and no one gave him correct guidance and relief, so he became more and more extreme.

After doing bad things once or twice without being discovered, they became even more daring and lawless.

To say that he became the root cause of this, maybe everyone is responsible.

Lang Zhongming still couldn't bear to deal with him, so he could only let him go.

Just looking at his excited appearance, it is impossible for him to apologize to Xiao Yang, and I don't know what else was caused by him, so we can only investigate these when we have time later.

Lang Zhongjin got up and went back to his room.Xiao Yang also went upstairs afterwards, his face was cold and no emotion could be seen.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Lang Zhongming felt weaker than ever before.

Lang Zhongming panicked, hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help knocking on Xiao Yang's door.

The door opened, and the man stood there with indifferent eyes.

"Xiao Yang..."

"Come in and talk."

The heating was turned on in Xiao Yang's room, but Lang Zhongming still felt cold hands and feet, as if the wind was leaking from his body.

"What I just said is the truth...I..."

Xiao Yang glanced at him indifferently: "I want to move out."

Lang Zhongming was silent for a while, and asked, "Did you already know what Zhong Jin did?"

Xiao Yang nodded and didn't look at him again.

Just as Lang Zhongming was about to speak, he coughed dryly twice before saying, "I think so too...you are much smarter than me..."

"Xiao Yang...you want to move, I understand, but can you take it easy first? You live slowly first, and it will take time to find a new house, decorate, etc., and then move there after you finish the other side. Don't rush to leave now, okay?"

He humbled himself, and Xiao Yang couldn't be tough, he only said that he would "as soon as possible".

Just as he was talking, there was a "bang" sound of closing the door outside - Lang Zhongjin went out.

Xiao Yang frowned and looked towards the door, and asked, "Do you smell smoke?"
