I was a stand-in for those years

Guo Zichen left the door of the ward, and Ke Chen leaned against the door, probably waiting for him on purpose.

"You are really ruthless. Your father had such a wish before he died. Is it so difficult to call him a father?" Ke Chen's sarcasm reached his ears, and Guo Zichen only felt it was ridiculous: "You are also Lin Hai's son-in-law. I want you to call." Guo Zichen turned around, unwilling to stay for a moment.

"Stop." Ke Chen said with a bit of contempt on his face, "Leave after signing."

Ke Chen dragged Guo Zichen into a hospital office, where two lawyers were already waiting there with the documents. Guo Zichen took the things they handed over, looked down, smiled, and signed them casually.

It was a property transfer contract. "This is originally Mumu's stuff. I don't know what Lin Hai thinks to keep half of it for you, but you are too embarrassed to steal your brother's stuff." Ke Chen still said this after he signed, Guo Zichen didn't He replied, but when he turned around, his heart was sore. He suddenly realized that Ke Chen knew that he was Lin Xingmu's twin brother, and that's why he beat him up one second before and then chased him again for no reason. He, he and Lin Xingmu had the same blood. Over the years, when he was nice to him, he was Lin Xingmu, and when he beat him, he was Guo Zichen.

It's not that sad, after all, they broke up a long time ago, and it's not too late to know, Guo Zichen thought.When he got to the door, he was stopped by Ke Chen. Guo Zichen asked him what he was doing, but Ke Chen didn't speak, so he stopped him and pushed him against the desk: "Don't leave, there is still a contract."

Someone stuffed a pen into Guo Zichen's hand. He lowered his head, and on the white paper was written... the coffee shop management right transfer agreement?

"What do you mean?" Guo Zichen pretended to be at a loss, because he didn't believe that Ke Chen would not keep this sympathy in the end.

Some things are unbelievable, and Ke Chen's indifferent words floated in the air: "Mu Mu is out of his mind now, how will he support himself in the future?"

"How does he support himself, what does it have to do with me?" Guo Zichen said very softly, without any waves, he just shook his head, still not believing that Ke Chen would treat him like this, until the man's cold voice came again: "I Seeing that the coffee shop you opened is doing well, let’s give it to Mu Mu so that he can live a better life in the future.”

That's it, why is it like this, why is it like this?Is he really willing to give up until he scours him completely? Guo Zichen looked at Ke Chen, his throat choked up, and he asked Ke Chen: "If I give it to him, what should I do?"

"If you want money, I'll give you whatever you want." Ke Chen took a step forward, took his hand and rubbed it: "Mu Mu has a bad brain and needs medical treatment. You are his only relative in this world, and I will help you too." Feel less guilty."

"I'll fuck you!" Guo Zichen shook off Ke Chen's hand, rushed to the desk and tore the contract into pieces, and threw it into the air together with the last trace of affection for Ke Chen. "I'll tell you one last time! I'm not his brother! I don't owe him anything! I'll return his things! Don't even try to take anything from me!"

The room was in chaos, as if Lin Hai was about to be pushed into the mortuary, Lin Xingmu cried as he entered the door and hugged Ke Chen, as if someone was calling his name, Guo Zichen felt light, touched his empty pockets, and returned to the hotel before he had hallucinations .

After arriving at the hotel, Xiao Zhou saw his milky white lips and faintly trembling eyelashes, hurriedly went to find the medicine in the suitcase and fed it to him, and stayed at his bedside to doze off, daring not to sleep all night.

Guo Zichen's mental state is not good, he stayed in China for nearly a week before returning to New York, but Guo Zichen heard that something happened in the coffee shop just after getting off the plane.

Two days ago, a group of people who claimed to be from the Food Supervision Committee entered the coffee shop, saying that the coffee beans they imported were illegally smuggled, and the store was to be closed down. Sugar, flour, and everything else they could get was moved away, leaving a sentence "this month's salary will be covered with something" and then they left simply. There were two or three people who had a good relationship with Guo Zichen staying in the shop, waiting for Guo Zichen to come back.

Guo Zichen didn't rest even after he got off the plane. When he rushed over, the clerks were holding sticks and dealing with the people who came to stick the seals. When they couldn't bear it, they were relieved when Guo Zichen came back. One of the waitresses hugged Guo Zichen and cried bitterly: " Manager, you are finally back... Tell them quickly that the products in our store are all good, and we never use counterfeit products! Drive them away quickly! It's too bullying!"

Guo Zichen naturally understood that it was just that he had offended someone, and a good thing had turned into a bad thing, so there was no way he could get justice.Guo Zichen went to the cashier to take out all the money in it, and advanced some money himself, and settled the wages of the few people who stayed behind for a whole month. After sending all the people in the store away, the empty house was finally quiet When I came down, it seemed that every night when I was mopping the floor quietly waiting for closing, there were only him and Xiao Zhou.

He said to Xiao Zhou: "You can go too."

Xiao Zhou forced a smile in this lonely little shop: "I won't leave. Everyone else has left, but I will stay and take care of you. Manager, as long as people are fine, it's not a big deal, and the shop can reopen , money can be made again, cheer up! I will take out my savings and invest in your shares!"

His words are enough to comfort people, but Guo Zichen is aware of his physical condition. He only needs to write down two or three sentences in his diary every day, and now he has to write down everything that happened every day. The number of hallucinations is increasing. It was getting heavier and heavier, and I didn't know when I might not be able to wake up.

Guo Zichen told Xiao Zhou that he was going back to China and that he didn’t intend to continue living in New York. After all, Xiao Zhou finally gave up and asked him to call him whenever he needed something, and Guo Zichen promised him with a smile that after he left, Sitting alone in this empty cafe until dark.

When he returned home, the landlady was waiting for him at the door, Guo Zichen invited her in and made tea for her.

"Xiao Guo, that... that... you can no longer rent this house..."

The woman uttered promises and harsh words, which made Guo Zichen dizzy. His tea making hands trembled, and he poured all the boiling water on the coffee table: "I can't rent it anymore...then where am I going?"

"This... this... I'm really sorry, you can go to other places to have a look. That... I have to move out within three days... I, I will go first."

The sound of "slap" closing the door sounded and disappeared. The sound waves are as ruthless as people. They come and go ruthlessly, and let only one person taste the sadness or joy.Guo Zichen covered his eyes with the back of his hand, and suddenly burst into tears.He picked up his mobile phone and searched for Zhang Chengwen's number, and there was always that indifferent female voice coming over to talk to him.

He called Ke Chen again.It seemed that the phone call had been expected for a long time, and it was connected within a few seconds. Guo Zichen asked first, "Why do you do this?"

Ke Chen's voice was a little indifferent: "You and Zhang Chengwen opened the coffee shop, I don't like it. Zhang Chengwen also lived in the house you rented, and I don't like it either. Guo Zichen, come back."

Sucking his nose and hanging up the phone, Guo Zichen rested his head on the sofa and recalled Ke Chen's words, you don't like it...just because you don't like it...

Ke Chen was hung up by Guo Zichen and didn't call back. Song Sizhe listened to him and kindly advised him: "It's a bit over the top. What do you ask him to do if the house is gone?" Ke Chen browsed the laptop intently. Looking at the house decoration advertisement on the Internet, he chuckled: "If you are desperate, you will naturally come to me."

When packing up, Guo Zichen sold almost everything in the house, including the furniture and some old clothes and trinkets. In addition to the refunded rent, Guo Zichen scraped together 20 yuan and wanted to return it to Zhang Chengwen, but the phone number remained the same. When they couldn't get through, Guo Zichen didn't insist anymore, and sent the money anonymously to a domestic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease research center after returning home.Due to the large amount of donations, they still tried their best to contact him to express their gratitude to him. Guo Zichen thought that if he could save a few lives like his father who died young due to cerebral hemorrhage, it would be considered as leaving something in this world. .

After dealing with the affairs in New York, Guo Zichen returned to his hometown in Northeast China.

Every corner of the world is getting better, but Zhongcheng County is getting dilapidated every year. The cement road in the village was paved in 02, and it has been crushed by passing vehicles and pedestrians for more than ten years.Guo Zichen bought two bottles of Erguotou and one roast chicken and climbed up the mountain to Guo Zhanxiong's grave.

After his second uncle and aunt passed away, his father's grave was left unattended. At this time, new grass was squeezed out from the loess on the top of the grave. I don't know whether to call it lonely or alive. Set up two wine cups and squatted on the rock to drink with his father.

Erguotou was choking on the stomach, but Guo Zichen drank several cups in a row, and finally gulped down the remaining half bottle into his stomach.

The breeze touched Guo Zichen's flushed cheeks. I don't know if he was drunk or awake: "When you leave, you will say that I have a good life, but I don't know what kind of life is good. I will go to study abroad according to your advice, and my work will go well. , I made a lot of money, and outsiders seem to be doing well, but in fact, since you left, I haven't had a happy day."

"I used to tell you to stop smoking and drinking, but you didn't listen. You left and left me alone. Why are you so bad? When I go down to find you, I will be your father. Look at me for a disobedient child like you." Not to beat the shit out of you."

While Guo Zichen was talking, there was a loud rustling sound behind him. Someone came from behind him. Guo Zichen turned his head and saw Ke Chen and several bodyguards standing behind him.

Guo Zichen smiled calmly: "Here we come."

Ke Chen also had that calm look: "Let's go, go home."

Guo Zichen smiled and rolled his eyes: "Go home, okay." He took a few steps back, swung his left hand, slipped out of his cuff, and put the white-glowing sharp knife on his neck: "Come down and find me."
