play off

The relationship between Duan Yan and his father didn't get along for a day or two. It was like this in college, and it's still the same today eight years later.

On the night when he received the news of his father Duan Chenglin's death, Duan Yan was still on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, having fun with his new 419 partner.

The lawyer told the story in short sentences on the phone, and Duan Yan was stunned for a long time after listening to it, before recovering from the empty state.

"understood."

After finishing the last three words calmly, Duan Yan hung up the line. His thoughts of indulgence had long since disappeared. After finishing the work hastily, he didn't even have time to take a shower, so he picked up a towel to dry his dripping sweat, put on Put on your clothes and leave the hotel, and rushed to the airport overnight to take the nearest flight back home.

The incident happened so suddenly, even though Duan Yan hated his father, he never thought that after two years, the father and son reunited again at the funeral.

There is not much controversy about the cause of Duan Chenglin's death. He suffered an acute myocardial infarction while climbing the mountain and accidentally fell to his death. This can be confirmed from the witnesses present at the time and the appraisal report issued by the forensic doctor.

Duan Chenglin had a successful career during his lifetime, so that even if he left this world, the crowd who spontaneously saw him off could block the inside and outside of the funeral home.

However, on the other side that outsiders can't see, as a husband and a father of a child, he failed terribly.

Duan Chenglin and Duan Yan's mother, Xia Lerong, have been married for 32 years, and their infidelity has not stopped for a moment. From the beginning of hiding and stealing, to later on, they went to prostitution, which has become a common thing for Duan Chenglin.

This is also one of the reasons why Duan Yan hates Duan Chenglin.

Having said that, no matter how bad the relationship between father and son is, Duan Chenglin will always be his father, and his father's death will inevitably have some emotional impact on Duan Yan.

After the memorial service in the morning and the cremation in the afternoon, Duan Chenglin's ashes were sent to the most famous Baisha Cemetery in Xiangshan for burial.

"Your father has always been fully prepared no matter what he does. He had already drawn up the will many years ago. As for the contents, there have been some changes during this period." After the funeral, the lawyer Fang Wenli asked Duan Yan to conduct a will After the interview, all words of condolences and obedience were omitted. Fang Wenli went straight to the point: "The final version of the will was finalized at the beginning of last year. According to what Lao Duan said before his death, the will will not be announced until after his first seven days."

Duan Yan glanced at the calendar on the desktop, secretly counted the days, and nodded: "Understood, Uncle Fang, if I have nothing else to do, I'll go back first, there is still a little funeral at home that needs to be dealt with."

"Wait a little longer." Fang Wenli immediately called to stop him before he turned to leave, "Xiao Yan, there is something I think I should tell you first, so that you can be mentally prepared."

"Uncle Fang, just speak up if you have something to say, don't hesitate." Duan Yan smiled, and as he spoke, his craving for cigarettes became a little bit higher, he lowered his head and took out a pack of Liqun from his pocket, and smoked the only cigarette left in the box come out.

"On the day the will is announced, your brother will also come over."

"You mean my cousin?"

"Your brother, to be precise, should be a half-brother. The two of you have half blood relationship and are half-brothers."

"You say it again?" Duan Yan almost thought that his ears were not working well, he frowned subconsciously, opened his mouth slightly, and the cigarette in his mouth fell silently, burning a small inconspicuous hole in the carpet under his feet.

In the evening, Duan Zhai

After returning from the law firm, Duan Yan locked himself in the study and never came out again.

When he was young, he often sneaked into the study to play with his father when Duan Chenglin was working. Over 20 years later, this room has always maintained its original appearance, but the relationship between their father and son can never return to the past.

Casually walking around the study, Duan Yan finally stopped in front of the mahogany desk, his eyes fell on the amber ashtray placed on the desk.

Duan Chenglin has always had the habit of smoking. The ashtray in front of him was a Father’s Day gift given to him by Duan Yan when he was 7 years old. At that time, Duan Chenglin was very happy. Whenever a guest came to visit, he would take out the ashtray triumphantly Cylinder, show it to everyone: "Look, my son gave me the first gift!"

What's ridiculous is that Duan Yan didn't find out until today, more than ten years later, that his father turned out to be more than his son.

This kind of accident is not unexpected. I often walk by the river, so there is no reason not to get my shoes wet.

The anger in his heart became more and more difficult to calm down, Duan Yan picked up the ashtray on the table and threw it hard against the opposite wall, smashed it to pieces, and cursed, "Old bastard!"

In the middle of the night, the music of Rex nightclub is roaring, and the colorful laser lights are constantly changing angles to sweep the audience. Young men and women in avant-garde and sexy dresses stand on the dance floor and bar, shaking their heads passionately and dancing to the beat of the DJ.

Cen Kainuo turned his head to look at Duan Yan who was sitting next to him. This guy only finished handling his father's funeral during the day, and he didn't even have a transition period.

"What are you doing?" Duan Yan saw that the other party had been holding his mobile phone to his side, and raised his hand to push his mobile phone away: "Don't take pictures of me."

"Hey, don't touch me, I'm doing a live broadcast! Everyone said they want to see what my buddy looks like."

"Get out!" Duan Yan was extremely impatient, "Let them watch other things."

Cen Kainuo "cut", put the phone on the table, approached Duan Yan, and asked in a low voice: "Your father just left and you came here to play disco, is this appropriate?"

"Why isn't it appropriate?" Duan Yan's face darkened in an instant, and his indifferent tone was mixed with some kind of dissatisfaction with Duan Chenglin: "He is long gone, and all the things that should be done after him have been done, what's inappropriate? "

Cen Kainuo: "..."

Not wanting to continue talking about anything related to Duan Chenglin, Duan Yan deliberately diverted the topic, pretending to ask casually: "I haven't seen this nightclub before, is it new?"

"It's not new. It opened not long after you left the country. It's been two years. Now it's the hottest nightclub in Xiangshan. I know the boss here, and he will give us a seat directly, saving us the trouble of making an appointment." Cen Kainuo turned his eyes around the field, pointed to a certain booth a few meters away, "Look, he's there, this guy is quite capable Yes, I will introduce you later."

There were six or seven people drinking and chatting in the booth, Duan Yan only took a glance and then locked his eyes on the man in a white suit and shirt.

No reason, first of all, the face with deep features stands out from the crowd, and the most difficult to ignore is Youshu's almond-shaped eyes with a smile, which is gentle and stretching in the open, but there are boundless traps hidden in the dark.

There was a small tail that reached to the waist behind the man's head, and two black earrings hung on the lobe of his left ear. Duan Yan, who has excellent eyesight, even noticed the silver tongue stud inlaid on the man's tongue. Whenever the other party speaks, the nail on the tongue refracts flashes of light under the dazzling laser light above the head, revealing a seductive look all the time.

Maybe it was just unintentional, or maybe the man noticed the gaze projected on him. When he raised his head again, his gaze just collided with Duan Yan.
