Solstice Secrets

Before Zhuang Zhou's car stopped, the butler Qi Bo came up to him, "Second Young Master."

Zhuang Zhou glanced at the red sports car parked in the parking space next to him, and frowned, "When did she come?"

Uncle Qi said, "Miss Emily has been here for more than an hour, and she is chatting with the old man in the study." He looked around and lowered his voice, "I don't think the old man is very happy."

Zhuang Zhou snorted, thinking that it would be strange to be happy.

"I have something to talk to him about," Zhuang Zhou said, "Please make us a pot of tea and bring it here."

Uncle Qi nodded, "Okay, young master."

Zhuang Zhou walked quickly along the path full of magnolia trees towards the backyard.Mr. Zhuang has been living in the backyard since he moved back to the old house from the nursing home after the year.This small courtyard was originally reserved for entertaining guests, and the place is not very big, so he took a fancy to it for some reason, so it must be said that living in the main house is boring.

Zhuang Zhou secretly guessed that he didn't want to see Cheng Anni every day when he went in and out.

Zhuang Chengyan and Xia Xueying's marriage was arranged by the old man at the beginning, but he didn't expect that the two of them not only had a quarrel, but also almost caused Zhuang and Xia's family to turn against each other.In particular, Sun Zhuangmo, the head of the house, followed Xia Xueying back to Xia's house on his own initiative, and even changed his surname.This incident made the old man very unhappy.Therefore, even though he knew that the divorce between Cheng Anni and Zhuang Chengyan had nothing to do with money, he still didn't like this future daughter-in-law.Even if she added another boy to the dealer, it still couldn't change the old man's opinion of her.Of course, Cheng Anni's personality is open-minded, and she has a good relationship with Zhuang Chengyan. It doesn't matter to her whether a rigid old man likes her or not.

Zhuang Zhou wondered why Mr. Zhuang didn't know how to learn his lesson.He single-handedly arranged the marriage of Zhuang Xia's family to become such a consequence, why is it that in his generation, he still wants to mix it up?

Zhuang Zhou knocked twice on the study door, and before the people inside could speak, he pushed the door open on his own initiative. Sure enough, Emily was sitting on the sofa next to the old man weeping, looking very charming.

Zhuang Zhou frowned, and said very bluntly: "Emily, if I'm not mistaken, you should not be the illegitimate daughter of our dealer. If you want to find someone to cry about, are you looking for the wrong target?! "

Emily still had tears on her face, but her expression suddenly changed.As Ling Dongzhi said, Zhuangzhou's gentlemanly demeanor can indeed be used as a wedge for her to attack him.She always knew that no matter what other people did, Zhuang Zhou would not express his dislike in a very straightforward manner, and subtle reminders were his usual way.She really didn't expect Zhuang Zhou to talk to her like this, and she froze for a moment.

The crutch in the old man's hand hit the ground heavily, "Just talk like that in front of me. Second child, don't you take me as a grandfather too seriously?"

Zhuang Zhou asked him back, "Then do you think I'm your grandson? Who is responsible for plotting against me every day, making things difficult for me, and my little business that can't be opened until now? Is there anyone like you as a grandfather?"

The old man choked on him, his face sank, and he snorted, "I let her go."

"I know." Zhuang Zhou sat down opposite them, full of irritability, "Why can a good girl become so shameless?"

Emily was so angry at this that she began to cry again.

The old man said angrily, "You're trying to save my face by scolding her like that!"

Zhuang Zhou asked him, "Emily is not related to you or me. For her, an outsider, if I let her bully my lover, I would be crazy. How foolish do you think I am?" ?!"

"Bastard boy!" The old man was completely irritated by his words, he raised his crutch and hit him, Zhuang Zhou didn't hide, he let him hit himself twice.

Zhuangzhou knows that when people are old, they like their children and grandchildren to obey him in everything, but some things can go smoothly, and some things can't.If he showed any hesitation in front of the old man, this matter would never end.

"I will not apologize to Emily." Zhuang Zhou said firmly: "Absolutely not. No matter what purpose she has for destroying my family, this behavior is unforgivable. Emily Listen carefully, from now on, I have nothing to do with you, don't mention the relationship that I grew up with since I was a child. I just pretend that I don't know you. "

Emily looked at him in shock, eyes full of disbelief.There are still tears on the long eyelashes, looking very pitiful.

But Zhuangzhou didn't have the thought of pity and pity.He has already been inspired by Lingdong Solstice, what kind of shit gentlemanly demeanor, that thing is useless to some people, "Listen to me, I don't care who you obeyed to fight against me , One more time like this, I will make you no longer have a foothold in Binhai City. Maybe grandpa will help you, but don't forget, to deal with a single woman, I only need to buy a few hooligans. You'd better not force me to make this move."

Emily's face turned pale, and she looked at Mr. Zhuang in panic.

The old man was about to hit him with a cane again, but Zhuang Zhou grabbed him.The grandpa and grandson were in a stalemate, when there was a light knock on the door, Uncle Qi came in with a tea set in his hands, and poured the brewed green tea to several people without saying a word, as if he hadn't seen the swords being drawn in the study room. He backed out without looking up.Zhuang Zhou let go of the old man's crutches, looked into his angry eyes, and sighed, "Grandpa, I don't understand what you want to do? You can't plant flowers and birds like other people's grandpas, you You have to figure out how to fight against your children and grandchildren, how to force your children and grandchildren to be your enemies?"

The old man said angrily, "I'm not doing it for your own good?"

Zhuang Zhou smiled wryly, "You were also doing it for my father's good, so you forced him to marry the Xia family. But do you think he and my mother are doing well? Are they really good?"

The old man looked away unnaturally, "Isn't it because they themselves are ignorant?!"

"The two of them don't have a relationship foundation. If they have to be forced to live together, can they get better? Not only are they in pain, but their children are also affected. Grandpa, you should know that I was never seen by my mother since I was a child, isn't it because Do I look like Zhuang Chengyan? That’s why she gets annoyed when she sees me. I have both parents, but no one cares about me. I grew up like a bastard, do you think it’s good?!” Said With the last sentence, Zhuang Zhou's eyes were already red.

The old man was silent.

"For a while, I wondered where to get explosives. I wanted to blow up this house, and I wanted everyone in this house to go to hell, you know that?!"

The old man was taken aback.

Zhuang Zhou sneered, "You don't know. You don't want to know either. You just know that others will surround you. As long as you listen to your words, you will be happy. Don't say that you are doing it for your children and grandchildren, you are doing it for yourself! Otherwise, if you see me Parents live like that, can you not be touched at all?!"

The old man was so angry that he hit him with a cane.Zhuangzhou let him fight.These words have been held in his heart for too long, he has always felt that he has grown up, and he no longer cares about the past, but now when he says it, he feels that some scars are scars and will hurt whenever they are revealed.

Not all injuries can be healed by time.

"You hit it," Zhuang Zhou wiped his face, with the posture of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, "as long as you like, hit it as you like. Instead of being at your mercy and living like my parents' old ways, I will It’s better to let you be beaten to death today. Tell your guards to come in and beat you, I know you won’t be able to beat him.”

The cane was on Zhuangzhou's shoulder, and the old man was so angry that his hands shook, "You are here to anger me today, aren't you?"

"No." Zhuang Zhou shook his head seriously, "I just want to tell Grandpa that my life is very, very happy now."

The old man was stunned, and there was an unbelievable look in his eyes, "You bastard, do you even know what you're talking about?"

"Of course I know." Zhuang Zhou looked at him seriously, "After being with him, I realized that the kind of satisfaction that comes from family life is what I have been longing for since I was very young. I have never So happy. So, Grandpa, I won't allow anyone to spoil it."

"Anyone, not at all."

After shooing away the rowdy juniors, Mr. Zhuang strolled to the back of the house and sat down on the rocking chair under the eaves.

When Uncle Qi delivered the dinner (the old gentleman really hated sitting at the same dining table with his son and daughter-in-law, so he ate three meals a day in his small courtyard), he found that Mr. Zhuang was still lying under the eaves He swayed back and forth on his rocking chair, holding the crutch that just beat his grandson in his hand, with a pensive expression on his face.

Uncle Qi coughed softly, reminding the old man that he had come over, "Master, dinner is here."

Mr. Zhuang didn't say a word.

Uncle Qi didn't know what important things the old man was thinking about, but seeing his absent-minded posture, Uncle Qi didn't dare to stand there and continue to press.

Half an hour later, Uncle Qi stood at the end of the corridor and peeped quietly. The old man was still sitting there in a daze.

Uncle Qi couldn't sit still.The old man is almost seventy years old, and the doctor has specially instructed that he should arrange his life regularly, and it is not enough to eat a hungry meal.

Uncle Qi coughed again, trying to remind him that it was time for dinner.The old man sighed a long time in the night, "Lao Qi, have you seen the child that Lao Er is looking for?"

Uncle Qi nodded honestly, "I've seen it." When he heard the third young master call his mother about this matter, he was also taken aback. Later, every time he went to Yujingyuan to see the two of them, he was always smiling. Look, and feel that there is nothing wrong with two men living together.Anyway, the Second Young Master smiled more than ever.He didn't think that Miss Emily with the nostrils on her forehead could make their second youngest's life so happy every day.

The old man turned to look at him curiously, "What kind of person do you think he is?"

Uncle Qi thought about it seriously and said: "Teacher Ling is very powerful. I heard from San Shao that he has won many awards for his works. The newspapers praised him as the most talented young painter."

The old man raised his eyebrows, but said nothing.

Uncle Qi also said: "He is also very kind and takes good care of Third Young Master. Third Young Master had conflicts with other classmates. He was worried that his family would blame Third Young Master, so he sent him home specially."

Uncle Qi paused for a moment, seeing that the old man had no intention of speaking, he continued to break the news.The things he knew were basically what the third young master had nagged at home. He listened to each sentence without saying a word, but he also knew a lot of things, "Mr. Ling put his savings, oh, he sold paintings All the money that came down was used to set up a fund to help children in poor areas study. This fund is now being managed by my wife. My wife also said that although the child does not have much money, she has a good heart, so she also invested part of it money."

The old man hummed lightly in an unclear way.

Uncle Qi said again: "I heard that the parents on both sides have also met. There was also a family event, and a lot of flowers and plants were planted in the yard of the second young master. Some time ago, I went to send things to the second young master. , I saw that the Xifu Begonias in the courtyard are all blooming, it is really very beautiful."

The old man was silent for a moment, and said to Uncle Qi, "I want to see that child."
