Return of the Heir [Rebirth]

Zhuang Xu didn't want to meet him head-on at first, but Zhuang Tianming's sharp eyes saw Zhuang Xu in the crowd at a glance, but he couldn't pretend not to know when he saw him, he greeted his son as if nothing had happened, and moved a little away from the girl behind him .

Zhuang Xu put away the sarcasm on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "Come play with friends." He said with a sigh, "Fan Fan has been feeling a little unhappy these two days, by the way, take Fan Fan to relax, Dad, You don't look like a tourist."

Zhuang Tianming's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Come to talk about a cooperation project. How can I have time to travel? I don't have the physical strength of you young people."

Zhuang Xu smiled and nodded, his eyes seemed to casually glance at the girl behind Zhuang Tianming, "Dad, your physical strength is also very good now, a man with 41 flowers, another 20 years will not be a problem."

What he said was vague, and he couldn't tell whether it was a compliment or a derogation. The girl behind Zhuang Tianming stood there awkwardly, and Zhuang Tianming smiled calmly: "Okay, let's go play with your friends, Dad has to go up first Well, take Xiao Yi to have fun, and there will be dinner tonight, so I won't come to see you."

Zhuang Xu also smiled: "Dad, take your time."

The girl took another look at Zhuang Xu, stepped forward and took the luggage from Zhuang Tianming's hand: "Mr. Zhuang, let me come."

Zhuang Tianming nodded and gave the girl the luggage in his hand. It looked like the boss and the secretary were doing business. Zhuang Xu was amused. Who couldn't tell when he was at this level? What kind of pretense is it interesting? Poor Tang Manyun was still racking his brains in order to become official, and the men in the family were already fluttering colorful flags outside.

Zhuang Xu shook his head, Fan Yi came up behind with his luggage, uncertain: "Is that uncle just now?"

Zhuang Xu patted his head, Fan Yi was wearing a simple white T-shirt, a cardigan over the outside, mint green shorts below the knees, and round glasses under his cool short hair, cute and playful, his small face was covered by glasses , only the pointed chin remained.

"It's your uncle. If you meet him in the future, don't pay attention to him. Play your melancholy prince well."

Fan Yi pushed his glasses, "What is uncle doing here?"

"What do you care about him? Let's go, take a good rest today, and start shooting tomorrow."

Zhuang Xu did not come here for fun this time. He will go to Pingshui Village with Xi Huiqilu this afternoon. After checking the progress of the project, he will have time to walk around and find out that Fenghuang Town is different. The place.

Bai Fan and the others lived opposite Zhuang Xu. Zhuang Xu remembered what Wen Ming said at the airport in the morning, and dismissed the idea of ​​getting close to his idol Xiao Moliang. Xiao Moliang was carrying two suitcases behind Zhuang Xu. There seems to be something wrong with Xu today. He was very enthusiastic about him before, otherwise Xiao Moliang would have been suspicious all day long and felt that Zhuang Xu wanted to sneak into him. Today, the two of them could not speak a word or two, which is too abnormal, Xiao Moliang thought, Sure enough, rich people are impatient, but that's okay, Zhuang Xu is still enthusiastic, Xiao Moliang guesses that Wen Ming should come to him, he can't afford to mess with that big Buddha, he can't take a breather if he wants to die thing.

I just arrived here today, a few people went to look around in the afternoon, and the official shooting will start tomorrow.

Zhuang Tianming returned to the room, and the secretary behind him brought up the luggage, hugged him as soon as he put it down, and asked coquettishly, "Mr. Zhuang, was that man really your son just now?"

The girl's soft body and coquettish tone made Zhuang Tianming feel a little better. He came here to quietly take the female secretary for two days in the name of a business trip. Running into Zhuang Xu here, I was in good spirits at first, but now Zhuang Xu messed it up, Zhuang Tianming sighed, a little afraid that Zhuang Xu would tell others about it, but others would not care, if it got to Tang Manyun's ears, He must cause some disturbances, he is not afraid of Tang Manyun, but it would be troublesome if it really started.

Zhuang Tianming thought about it and felt that he was thinking too much. Anyway, his son said bad things about his father behind his back, so he didn't believe what Zhuang Xu could say. Besides, there was no real evidence for what he said, so he had nothing to worry about.

Thinking of Tang Manyun and Zhuang Tianming at home, he frowned tightly. Sure enough, all women in the world are the same. Now Tang Manyun has also started to ask about his daily schedule, and started to care about his business and friendship status. After interrogating him about what he did, Zhuang Tianming even caught her bribing the driver with money to report where he went every day. This is simply outrageous!

He kept Tang Manyun by his side because he was not looking for someone to stare at him all the time, and treat himself like a wolf. It's fine if Tang Manyun doesn't believe him. Interfering in his private space makes Zhuang Tianming uncomfortable. Which man would like to be around The woman in the house is suspicious all day long, asking this and that, and having to deal with Tang Manyun's cross-examination after returning home from work all day. He has a brain problem that makes him think that Tang Manyun has the potential to be a good wife and mother, and she is an obedient and sensible woman that men like.

The female secretary just took office and didn't know Zhuang Xu. Seeing Zhuang Tianming's complexion, she thought she asked some taboo topic, and said cautiously, "President Zhuang, I'm sorry..."

"It's okay." Zhuang Tianming hugged the female secretary's small waist, and rubbed her delicate and tight skin. It's better to be younger. Although Tang Manyun pays attention to maintenance, aging has inevitably left marks on her skin. No amount of skin care products can change the rough and aging appearance, Zhuang Tianming hugged him into his arms: "That's my ex-wife's son, he is two years younger than you."

"Oh, that's it. No wonder you look so similar to Mr. Zhuang, and you're both so handsome." The female secretary said sweetly.

Zhuang Tianming laughed: "Then who is more handsome in your mind?"

"Of course it's Mr. Zhuang. He's still too young to have an aura like yours..."

Zhuang Xu went down and took Xi Hui and Qi Lu to the construction site of Pingshui Village, and took a general look at the progress of the project, construction quality, and the natural protection of the resort. Zhuang Xu repeatedly emphasized that the Pingshui Village should not be damaged. Original pure ecology, what they want is the original taste, because the excessive damage caused by the project will definitely bring a lot of losses, Qi Lu wrote down one by one, everyone held a small meeting in the temporary iron house on the construction site, Zhuang Xu Generally speaking, I am very satisfied. After all, Qi Lu often runs here, and the work must be unambiguous. Zhuang Xu is very relieved.

Zhuang Xu went to see Li Baoyuan and his brothers on the way, but he missed something before realizing that today is Monday and they must be in school.

"Let's go and come back tomorrow."

Qi Lu frowned: "I've been here twice before and the two brothers are not here. It's a rest day. Where can they go?"

Xi Hui said: "Maybe he went to his mother's place. The kid Li Baoyuan looks very reliable. I remember that Brother Zhuang left the phone number for the kid and the village chief when he left? If there is something wrong with the kid, it's impossible to have no news at all." I hear you."

Qi Lu is also a brother-in-law, so he naturally cares a little more about such a young child, and he also cares about Li Baoyuan and his brothers. He will come to Fenghuang Town to see them. With Xiaochun's appearance, the two brothers have no time to hide from her, how could they rush to see her, I think there must be something wrong with it."

Xi Hui leaned on the iron gate and looked at it: "There are still chickens in the yard, what are you worried about, I said you like to worry, you think too much."

Qi Lu glanced at him, but didn't say anything. Zhuang Xu was a little worried when he heard what Qi Lu said, and finally said: "Let's go back first, and go to the school tomorrow to see, aren't they living in school? In dormitory."

Qi Lu thinks about this possibility, now that it's getting late, where to find someone, or tomorrow morning, trying to find a way to see if he can contact the brothers, Xi Hui abducted him with his hand, "What are you still doing?" , bring the car over here."

Back at the hotel, Fan Yi was sitting in the lounge area of ​​the lobby talking to Xiao Moliang, when he saw Zhuang Xu coming over and waving cheerfully: "Brother, you're back, come here."

With a coat on his arm, Zhuang Xu was sweating all day after checking in Pingshui. He sat on the sofa a little tired, and said with a smile, "You are in such a good spirit. How come, did you gain anything today?"

Wang Rui looked very happy, and nodded straightly: "Fenghuang Town is really a good place that is hard to find. I have heard of such a place name before, but I have never known what it looks like inside. I only know it after I have a look. It is really worthy of Mr. Zhuang's hard work. Recommended, the town has a profound heritage, the streets are clean and the scenery is beautiful, it makes people feel very comfortable, and I can start filming tomorrow."

Fan Yi laughed happily, he will be able to show off his skills tomorrow, and most of the scenes here are his roles, haha.

Zhuang Xu nodded: "That's good, Fan Fan behaves well, your brother Xiao may be popular when the time comes, maybe he can take you along."

Xiao Moliang kept silent for a long time, and when Zhuang Xu mentioned his name, a smile appeared on his face. Like Wen Ming, he had a paralyzed face, but he was very kind when he was still a little transparent, and now he knew that Zhuang Xu treated him well. It's boring, and I can let go in front of Zhuang Xu, and said with a smile: "With Mr. Zhuang's auspicious words, I hope the album will sell well, and everyone will follow the trend."

The hostess Ning Kefei and the little sister Ning Keshu next to her also laughed happily. Ning Keshu and Fan Yi are the same age. The teenagers have a very subtle feeling for girls. If they don't know how to fall in love with girls, Zhuang Xu can't explain to her aunt. Zhuang Xu gave him two warning eyes. wink.

This stinky boy!

After Luo Ran arrived in Fenghuang Town, he separated from Zhuang Xu's group and returned home. He has not returned to his hometown for several years. Luo Shutang and his parents are now in Zhonghai. In the old house, there is only an old lady who cooks and her granddaughter lives here. He went back to his room, finally took out his treasure chest from under the iron bed, opened it, his eyes lit up with joy, small sapphire bowls, big and small jade bracelet finger rings, snuff bottles, etc. Even his grandfather Luo Shutang didn't know about the things his grandma left him. Luo Ran knew the value of these things, and how much they could be used to save face for the antique shop.

He happily called Zhuang Xu and asked him out for dinner. Zhuang Xu nodded in agreement, and called Fan Yi and Xiao Moliang over.

Luo Ran was very familiar with Fenghuang Town. He drove them around and stopped in front of a small restaurant in the center of Fenghuang Town. The restaurant was called Ruyi Restaurant. There were two red lanterns hanging under the antique plaque. festive.

Just in time for dinner, Luo Ran even got a private room for him. Zhuang Xu came out after taking a shower. He was sitting at the dining table waiting for the food to be served. The phone at hand rang suddenly. Zhuang Xu glanced at it. !Mr. Wen came to check the bed.

There was some noise in the room, Zhuang Xu went downstairs and left the restaurant, and stood on the quiet side of the road talking to Wen Ming.

Wen Ming's other end was very quiet, it should be in the hotel, the man's deep and cold voice came over, "Sleeping?"

Zhuang Xu said: "Who is talking to you when you are asleep?"

Wen Ming paused, wondering: "Isn't it you?"

Zhuang Xu: "...not me."

Wen Mingnu: "International long distance is very expensive, you are serious."

Are you, the dignified president of the Wen family, still short of this money? !Besides, where I didn't speak seriously, Zhuang Xu sighed: "It should be afternoon at your place, but it's already eight o'clock in the evening here, it's hard to be jet-lagged, you should have a good rest."

Wen Ming's face turned bright, and he sat in front of the hotel's panoramic French windows and watched the sunset. The waiter next to him squatted halfway around the round table to arrange refreshments for him. He took a sip of black tea: "How is the progress of Pingshui Village?"

"It went well, better than I imagined. After the completion of the resort, it will definitely become a dazzling scenery in Fenghuang Town. The future victory is foreseeable." Zhuang Xu smiled lightly.

Zhuang Xu's voice is very confident, and Wen Ming appreciates his confident and calm attitude, "Do well and I believe you will succeed."

Zhuang Xu nodded happily: "Thank you Mr. Wen for your compliment!"

Wen Ming still had a slumped face, but his expression was obviously very good: "No thanks, I believe that Wen's daughter-in-law still has this ability, work hard, and try to surpass me one day."

"The goal is too big, it seems impossible..."

"I'm just talking, don't take it too seriously."

Zhuang Xu: Let you be so naive, let you be so naive, let you be so naive, don't talk to him next time!

Wen Ming gestured to the waiter next to him, and several people withdrew quietly, only Wen Ming was left in the wide space. He said, "Where are you now? Outside?"

Hearing Fan Yi calling him from behind, Zhuang Xu waved his hand to show he understood: "Dinning out with them, if you're free, I'll go in first."

Wen Ming thought for a while and said, "Don't drink too much, go to bed early."

Zhuang Xu said with a smile: "I see, you should rest early, pay attention to safety and go home early."

Wen Ming nodded: "I know, don't miss me too much."

Zhuang Xu laughed cheerfully: "Think about it, I really miss it so much, oh, I forgot to tell you something, today... er, the phone is almost out of battery, I will talk about it another day, I will hang up first, bye." Just hung up the phone neatly, Zhuang Xu picked up the corner of his mouth and smiled viciously, forcing half of the speech of the Virgo series to death, making you unable to get down or get up. This is a trick that Zhuang Xu just learned on the Internet recently, I don’t know It doesn't matter whether it works, but for a typical Virgo like Wen Ming, he has to make him feel a little bit uncomfortable. He was really upset by what he said just now!

Wen Ming sat quietly for a while, took a deep breath, what happened today?What happened?What exactly are you saying next? ! !Go ahead and tell me what the other half is!

Just as Wen Ming raised his hand to call back, the assistant came in and said, "Mr. Wen, are you going to eat black pepper steak or red wine steak tonight?"

Black Pepper Steak, etc. Red wine is also good, but I just ate it a few days ago, so let’s change the taste, but the red wine steak in this restaurant is very authentic, it’s a pity not to try it...

The setting sun withdrew the last glimmer of light, and President Wen was caught in a new round of battle between heaven and man. The assistant behind him wanted to beat himself to death and make you talk cheap. Seeing that Wen Ming had been contemplating and not speaking, he had a flash of inspiration, and immediately said: Why don't we eat Chinese food." This time he learned the lesson just now, and offered to suggest: "Let's eat dumplings, there is a chef here who specializes in this dish."

Wen Ming nodded: "What's there?"

Assistant: "..." TT Virgo, why did you come to Earth!

After dinner, everyone walked along the small square in the center of the town. There were some street stalls selling all kinds of gadgets, clothes, shoes and socks, and handicrafts woven by the locals. Ning Kefei and a few girls were interested in squatting on the side of the road to pick Picking and choosing, Zhuang Xu was a little tired, wanted to find a place to sit for a while, looked around, and suddenly saw a familiar figure beside the lawn not far away, he walked over with some uncertainty, and called softly: "Li Baoyuan?"

The young man raised his head and was stunned for a moment when he saw the person coming. The next second, he quickly packed up the things in front of him, grabbed the bag and ran away. Before Zhuang Xu could react, Li Baoyuan had already run far away: "Oh, you What are you running for?!"

Telling him not to listen, Zhuang Xu could only raise his legs to follow, Qi Lu and Xi Hui also followed after hearing the voice, unexpectedly Li Baoyuan ran so fast, several big men panted and chased him for three blocks before catching up. It was Qi Lu who went around and surrounded Li Baoyuan so he had nowhere to run.

Three men surrounded a young boy in the middle. This appearance looked very suspicious to outsiders. Some people had already frowned and pulled out their phones to call the police at any time.

Zhuang Xu looked at the staring Li Baoyuan with a big head, the brat was like a wild donkey, he ran away without a trace, he took a few breaths, frowned and said: "Why are you running, we can get you Eat or something."

Li Baoyuan took a step back cautiously holding the things in his hands. He was wearing slippers, the laces of which were all broken, and he couldn’t run fast even if he wanted to. He lowered his eyes a little discouraged, and the voice of the boy in the voice-changing period was a little hoarse: "You don't want to run?" Why should I run after chasing me?"

Zhuang Xu was laughed angrily by him: "You are still irrational, did you do something wrong and afraid to let us know?"

Li Baoyuan snorted softly: "No."

Qi Lu interrupted at this moment: "Where's your brother? Why are you alone?"

"He's sleeping at home. If you're all right, I'm still going to sell things. Don't delay my business."

Li Baoyuan turned around and wanted to leave, but Zhuang Xu grabbed his wrist and took the things in his hand: "I bought it, let's go, take us to see your brother, what kind of business is it, shouldn't you review your homework at home now?" ?”

Li Baoyuan poked his neck: "I won't read it anymore."

Zhuang Xu stared: "No more?! Why don't you stop studying? You have already paid the tuition fees, and you don't want to study anymore. What's going on? Tell me why you stopped studying?"

After all, Li Baoyuan was still a child, so he said reluctantly for a long time: "My mother ran away with another man, and now we are left with two brothers. If I don't do business, who will support my younger brother."

Zhuang Xu frowned: "When did your mother leave?"

"She left a long time ago, she doesn't want us anymore, but it's okay, my brother and I don't have to provide for her in the rest of our lives." The boy's words were obviously choking, and his mother left them and ran away. What did they do to them? They were their blood relatives, the people who had the closest connection with them in this world, just left them behind and disappeared without looking back. The young man was like a lonely little beast, who couldn't hide his hurt. eyes, turned his head in embarrassment, unwilling to expose his wounds to others' eyes.

Zhuang Xu didn't say anything more, Qi Lu said: "Go and see your brother first, we'll talk about it later if there's anything to do."

Li Baoyuan and his younger brother lived in the innermost alley, in a dilapidated courtyard house, the paint on the gate was gone, he pushed open the small door and led a few people in, the courtyard was well tidied up, The side rooms on both sides are all dark, only the small room in the middle shows a dim light.

When the four of them came in, an old lady opened the door and shouted, "Baoyuan, are you back?"

"Grandma Jiang, I didn't sell many things today, I'm sorry, I will sell them all tomorrow."

The old lady smiled and patted his head: "They said that you are not allowed to go out and sell these things, alas, you are just disobedient, that's all right, there is a hot meal for you in the kitchen, ask your brother to eat together, alas How many are there?"

"Grandma, these are my friends. They came to see me. Don't worry, they are good people."

The old lady glanced at them worriedly, stretched out her hand and said, "Show me your ID card."

The three of them cooperated very well and gave their ID cards to the old lady. The old lady was still a little worried, and asked Li Baoyuan to call them if there was anything. Knock on the door: "Deer, it's my brother who opens the door."

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps in the room, and the door was locked from the inside. After a bang, a soft voice said: "The moonlight is bright in front of the bed."

Li Baoyuan laughed: "I slept soundly."

Li Baolu cheered for a while, opened the door with bumps, and a small head was exposed, "Brother, you are finally back, I'm going to starve to death."

Li Baoyuan pressed the light on, "Lu is really obedient, brother said that he will bring you food and no one can open the door."

Li Baolu nodded and saw Zhuang Xu and Qi Lu Xi Hui behind him staring at the big round eyes, hiding behind Li Baoyuan timidly, Qi Lu was relieved to see that Li Baolu was fine, Zhuang Xu looked around, a big An iron bed, a bench and a small dining table, a pile of textbooks in the corner, and nothing else.

Zhuang Xu sighed: "Just let your brother live here?"

Li Baoyuan said: "When I have money, I will take my brother to the big city and let him go to school."

Xi Hui laughed: "My ambition is not small. You just want to make a lot of money by selling these gadgets. I'd better listen to your Brother Zhuang and finish your studies. It will not be easy to make money in the future."

Li Baoyuan pursed his lips and did not speak, Li Baolu sat obediently on the small bench to eat, his pink face bulged, Zhuang Xu smiled at him, Li Baolu's big eyes fluttered, and looked at the three of Zhuang Xu curiously , Spit out the chicken bones in your mouth and carefully put them into a plate.

When the three of them were walking back, Qi Lu suddenly said: "The two boys can only go to the orphanage in this situation?"

Xi Hui sighed: "Where can he go if he doesn't go to the orphanage? How can he raise such a small doll as a child."

Qi Lu was silent, and Zhuang Xu said: "You can find a family that is willing to adopt. An orphanage is not the best choice."

Qi Lu said: "Brother Zhuang, do you want to consider adopting the two of them? Wen's family and Xie's family have great achievements. It shouldn't be a problem to give them a bite to eat."

Qi Lu was also an orphan since he was a child, so he felt the same for Li Baoyuan and his brothers, so he naturally hoped to find a good place for them, so he naturally set his sights on Zhuang Xu.

Zhuang Xu laughed: "Let's think about it, don't worry, I will definitely arrange their future life anyway."

Qi Lu laughed, looked at Zhuang Xu's side face with deep eyes, suppressed the heat in his heart, put aside his eyes and followed Zhuang Xu closely, if only he could stay by this person's side all the time, Qi Lu He lowered his head and smiled helplessly.

Zhuang Xu was not in a hurry about the matter of the Li Baoyuan brothers. If he pushed too hard, it might backfire. Secondly, he didn't think about what to do with the brothers. Let's take a step at a time. Before leaving Phoenix Town, he would definitely think of a way.

Zhuang Tianming and his secretary stayed in the hotel all the time and didn't dare to go out. After all, they were guilty because they were afraid of running into Zhuang Xutu and causing embarrassment. Zhuang Tianming thought about checking out, but there was only one hotel in the town that could accommodate people. There is no one in a small place, and I can enjoy myself for two days. I didn't expect to meet acquaintances everywhere.

The secretary pestered him to go out to play, and Zhuang Tianming couldn't stay in the room all the time. Seeing Zhuang Xu and his group rushing out early in the morning, he was relieved and led the secretary to go out to play with a smile.

Fenghuang Town looks small, but there are many things to see. The two wandered around the town for a day. Embracing the secretary in his arms, talking and laughing, Zhuang Tianming thought that Zhuang Xu couldn't stay here any longer, so let's have fun today, and drive back to Zhonghai tomorrow.

I don't know why he was always a little uneasy.

He was having fun with his secretary, but he didn't know that someone was following him all the way in the dark, taking pictures of their intimacy. The photo was saved and sent to a number.

Tang Manyun was lying in the beauty parlor for a full-body beauty treatment when her phone beeped. She lazily picked it up and looked at it. Her eyes widened instantly, and the mask on her face fell to the ground with a bang.
