not a decent stand-in

"Zuo Tong didn't tell you?"

Su Yue was a little surprised, "Actually, I don't know much about this. I only know that my father and Zuo Tong's father had done business together before. After the business failed, my father withdrew, but Zuo Tong's father was not reconciled and ran abroad. Ask the other party to make a theory, how can you know that there was an accident..."

Before Su Yong's story was finished, Xiang Yindong's head was already buzzing, and he couldn't hear any words at all.

Quits, business failures, theories about going abroad, accidents...

A series of incidents add up, and Xiang Yindong realizes that Su Yuliang is the chief culprit who ruined Zuo Tong's family.

No wonder Zuo Tong was so angry, he thought that the other party was just jealous, but it turns out...

Xiang Yindong's clenched fist fingers gradually turned white, he felt that he was simply a bastard, he couldn't even think of such a simple thing, and thought he was just jealous.

At this moment, he just wanted to go to Zuo Tong immediately, hold him tightly in his arms, and say sorry to him.

"Yindong? What's the matter with you?" Su Yue found that something was wrong with him, and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"

Xiang Yindong came back to his senses, shook his head, and said suddenly: "Sorry, I might have to take a step first..."

Su Yue frowned: "Could it be that you, like Zuo Tong, want to blame me for all these things?"

Xiang Yindong didn't respond to her words, turned his head and walked outside the banquet hall, his eager steps were somewhat heavy.

Su Yue chased after him and stopped him at the door: "Xiang Yindong, do you know how important today's reception is?"

"I know..." Xiang Yindong took the coat from the waiter and put it on his body, "For me, there are more important things. Let's stop here for our cooperation!"

Xiang Yindong walked outside the hotel, and Su Yue chased after her wearing a skirt. The cold weather made her shiver, and she looked a little embarrassed.

"What's going on, what do you mean it's over? You don't care about Zhenghai's life?"

"I just don't want to lose something more important..."

Xiang Yindong panicked inexplicably, and suddenly felt that he might really lose Zuo Tong...

He stopped, looked at Su Yue and said word by word, "I happened to have heard another version of the story you told just now. Zuo Tong's father put all his wealth on the project, but his partner When the project was at its most critical, the funds were suddenly withdrawn, so he could only go to Kenya alone to negotiate with the project party, hoping to delay the construction period... Unexpectedly, the other party had actually negotiated with the project party long ago The distribution of liquidated damages, after the negotiation failed, Zuo Tong's father stood guard outside the construction site for a whole week, and finally was broken by the robbers five ribs, his spleen ruptured, and he never woke up..."

Su Yue's face turned pale, she didn't know if she was frozen or was frightened by this story.

She looked into the distance with empty eyes, and murmured: "But...my dad said..."

"After Uncle Zuo passed away, Zuo Tong's mother couldn't bear the blow, she had a mental breakdown, and she is still living in a nursing home. His grandfather, who was sent to a black-haired man by a white-haired man, was severely hit. After a stroke, he suffered from Alsenhai Silence, only ten-year-old IQ left..."

Xiang Yindong took off his coat and put it on Su Yue, "Go back, it's cold outside, this matter is not your fault, but I can't ignore his feelings, I hope you understand..."

Wearing a thin suit, Xiang Yindong turned around and walked into the heavy snow.

Su Yue stood there in a daze, unable to say a word.

Xiang Yindong hailed a taxi at the entrance of the hotel and went directly to Aveo Entertainment.

Along the way, he called Zuo Tong many times, but the other party didn't answer. He suddenly remembered the way Zuo Tong looked at him at "7th Heaven" that night.

That deep disappointment was like a steel wire tightly wrapped around him, making it difficult for him to breathe.

When he arrived at Aveo Entertainment, Steven told him that Zuo Tong asked for leave today and did not come to the company.

The bad premonition in Xiang Yindong's heart became more intense.

He took a taxi to go to "7thHeaven" and Zuo Tong's villa, but they couldn't find each other.

Xiang Yindong sat blankly on the steps outside the villa, and for the first time clearly felt that he might lose Zuo Tong.

The snow has been falling, and this first snow in the capital, as if mocking him, slapped him hard on the face.

He thought that after this busy period, they could have a good talk.

He thought Zuo Tong would not be willing to stay too far away from him.

He thought that he still had a lot of time in the future to make up for what he owed him during this time.

But he forgot that Zuo Tong was sensitive and inferior. He would rather arm himself with thick armor than let others see the scars in his heart.

As for myself, not only did she not give him a sense of security, she was also self-righteous, taking his uneasiness as hypocrisy, and complaining about his distrust of herself.

What should he do now?

Xiang Yindong's body gradually began to turn white, but he didn't feel the cold at all.

The words that Zuo Tong questioned him that night kept echoing in his ears.

Something suddenly came to his mind, he quickly stood up from the steps, and ran to the side of the road to stop a car.

The snow was getting bigger and bigger, Zuo Tong stood by the window and looked at it for a while, the steam from the lunch box blurred the glass.

His sight was slowly covered, and he turned around and walked towards the end of the corridor.

When the door was opened, Wang Qihua was reading a book. The nurse said that she seemed to be in better spirits during this time, and she sang to everyone from time to time.

"Xiaotong, did you see that it's snowing outside?"

When Wang Qihua saw Zuo Tong coming in, he immediately put down the book in his hand, and said with a little excitement, "When you were young, you liked snow days the most. When it snowed, you would go to the yard to have a snowball fight with your friends!"

Zuo Tong nodded: "Not only are there snowball fights, but also snowmen. I'm the best one!"

"Of course, our little Tong is so smart!"

Zuo Tong smiled, brought the lunch box in front of Wang Qihua, and said with a smile: "Mom, guess what to eat today?"

Wang Qihua smelled the aroma from the lunch box, immediately forgot what he was talking about just now, and shouted happily: "Dumplings!"

"Well, not bad, can you guess what stuffing it is?"

"Shepherd's purse!"

Wang Qihua stretched out his head to take a look happily, feeling a little proud.

"Awesome!" Zuo Tong gave a thumbs up, picked up a dumpling, blew it, and brought it to her mouth, "Try it! I went to the cafeteria just now, and the dumplings were all sold out. I had the cheek to ask the chef of the cafeteria, so he would give it a try." Made a special copy for me, isn't your son amazing?"

"Yeah, my son is the best!" Wang Qihua smiled at him while eating the dumplings, "It's so delicious, you can eat it too, son!"

Zuo Tong smiled slightly, took a dumpling and put it in his mouth.

His mother is actually a southerner. After marrying into the Zuo family, she has been following her father to start a business, and has never really enjoyed the blessings of a high-ranking family.

When traveling abroad with her father, in order to solve her homesickness, she specially learned how to make dumplings.

Although the days at that time were bitter, in Wang Qihua's memory, that should be her best time.

As a result, she almost forgot everything, but she still remembered that Zuo Tong's father's favorite food was shepherd's purse dumplings.

The mother and son took one bite at a time, and quickly finished the big lunch box of dumplings, and both burped in satisfaction.

"Xiaotong, why are you free to come and see me today? Don't you have to go to work?"

"I'm taking leave today and resting at home."

"Aren't you the one who likes to go to work the most?" Wang Qihua picked up the book to read while talking.

Zuo Tong glanced at the cover and said "Let go, never the past", he asked curiously: "Mom, when did you start to like reading?"

"I've always liked reading..." Wang Qihua said with a smile, "The night before yesterday, I dreamed about your father, and he asked me, what have you been up to lately? Said, I am reading! Your father used to like reading very much, I want to make him happy! Sure enough, after hearing this, he said: You are very good, and reading is also very good!"

"and then?"

"Then?" Wang Qihua suddenly felt a little embarrassed, his ears turned red, and he lowered his head and whispered, "He just kissed my forehead!"

Zuo Tong felt sour, he hadn't heard his mother talk about his father for a long time.

When she was delirious in the past, she kept talking all day that she had to behave better, otherwise Zuo Zhiqing would be unhappy when he came back.

"not bad!"

Zuo Tong blinked at his mother, his face full of sincere envy.

I don't know if it was because of that dream, but he always felt that Wang Qihua suddenly became more awake.

Up to now, she may not have accepted her father's death, but she has realized that the person she misses will never come back.

Maybe in her heart, that person has never left. He will always be the romantic and handsome big boy when we first met, with a bookish, refined manner and a smile always on the corner of his mouth.

Zuo Tong turned his face and wiped his inexplicably moist eyes, this action did not escape Wang Qihua's eyes.

"Xiao Tong, what's the matter with you, did you encounter something unhappy?" She held Zuo Tong's hand.

"No, how come..." Zuo Tong squeezed out a smile, pretending not to care.

"Don't lie to mom, I know, someone has made you unhappy!"

Zuo Tong laughed, and finally said honestly: "Mom, if someone makes you unhappy, but his motivation is because he loves you, should you be angry with him?"

"He loves you?" Wang Qihua thought seriously, "Then don't be angry, it's not easy for someone to love you!"

"Mom! Is your son so bad?" Zuo Tong frowned deliberately.

"No, no!" Wang Qihua quickly explained, "My son is so good, there must be many people he likes. Mom said, if you like that person, that person loves you too, it's not easy..."

"How do you know that I like him too?"

"Xiaotong, didn't you realize it yourself? When you talked about him, you were laughing..."

Zuo Tong was puzzled, he was obviously frowning.

"Mom, you read it wrong, I almost cried just now!"

"How can mom get it wrong? You are crying on your face, but your eyes are smiling! Eyes are the windows to the soul. Mom can tell that you like that person very much. Otherwise, he will make you unhappy. Find a way to keep yourself from being angry with him?"

Zuo Tong couldn't laugh or cry, whoever said her mother was crazy, she was clearly more sober than many people.
