Godfather and those godsons

Three Less & Five Less

In the latest daily newspaper, the headline of the business section is that Yin Zhaolan, CEO of Zhongtian Group, was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment due to stomach bleeding, while the corner of the entertainment section reported the news that actor Qin Zhen, who had not been seen for ten years, committed suicide by lying on the track.

Zhuo Shuran watched these two pieces of news in a daze, occasionally coughing a few times.

"Brother, drink water." Zheng Mingbao, who had grown up in the past ten years, put warm water by his hand and said softly.

After the death of his father Zheng Li, Zhuo Shuran's asthma relapsed from time to time, and he has not been relieved for many years, which made him emaciated and emaciated.Those who are less than 40 years old have gray temples.Seeing this, Zheng Mingbao felt very heartbroken, but this was a knot in Zhuo Shuran's heart that he could not let go of, and no one could help him.

Zhuo Shuran looked at Zheng Mingbao, whose eyes were still clear and bright even though he understood the ways of the world, and suddenly asked a question that had been pressed deep in his heart for a long time: "Do you still hate... Zheng Li?"

Back then, under his deliberate push, Zheng Wei forced Zheng Mingbao to have a relationship with him. Zheng Mingbao was frightened and became very disgusted with Zheng Wei. Zhuo Shuran also had an excuse to sever relations with Zheng Wei.Zheng Lie felt guilty towards them and never appeared in front of them until his death.As Zheng Mingbao's only legal adopted son, Zheng Mingbao inherited most of Zheng Wei's inheritance.

At that time, Zheng Mingbao was ignorant of everything, completely forgetting to eat but not to fight. Even though under Zhuo Shuran's deliberate guidance, he hated Zheng Li for a while, and soon began to talk about his father, pestering Zhuo Shuran to ask him to give up. Zhuo Shuran asked his father to come and see the baby, but Zhuo Shuran refused, and secretly called Zheng Wei behind Zhuo Shuran's back.But he didn't know that Zheng Li was dead, every time he dialed Zheng Li's number, there was only a mechanical female voice on the phone repeating "the number you dialed has been shut down" over and over again.Zheng Mingbao didn't understand what it meant, he only knew that it wasn't Zheng Wei's voice, so he dialed again and again seriously...

Still unable to contact Zheng Wei, Zheng Mingbao asked Zhuo Shuran tearfully while holding the phone: "Dad, don't you want a baby anymore?"

Zhuo Shuran said: "...Dad hurt the baby and made the baby hurt, so we don't want Dad..."

"I want it! I want it! The baby wants a father!" Zheng Mingbao nodded and shook his head again, "It doesn't hurt! The baby doesn't hurt! The baby wants a father..."

Since the news of Zheng Li's death came out, Zhuo Shuran didn't make any other changes except for handing over the information about Andre, the mastermind behind the scenes, to the Xiao family.He looked very calm, almost indifferent, but would be inexplicably absent-minded, occasionally waking up suddenly in the middle of the night, having an asthma attack, convulsing all over his body and making it difficult to breathe.

Seeing Zheng Mingbao's appearance, he suddenly wanted him to know that Zheng Lie was dead.Under the same roof, he needs one more person to know the news.

Zhuo Shuran spent a long time explaining the meaning of death to Zheng Mingbao.The word is cold, it means never seeing each other again, it means hurt and forgetting with time.

When Zheng Mingbao's head really received the message that "father is dead", he locked himself in the studio for three days and three nights, drawing Zheng Li's portrait without sleep.Oil paintings, sketches, ink paintings...all are Zheng Mingbao's memory, smiling, deliberately stern, standing, sitting, lying down...every one has a different shape , lifelike.The most special thing is Zheng Lie's eyes in the painting.Those eyes always carry a warm and doting smile, making people unable to help but smile along with his smile...

Big drops of Zheng Mingbao's tears fell on the drawing paper, he held the drawing, cried and said to Zhuo Shuran: "I don't forget Dad!"

Zhuo Shuran hugged him, his heart ached for a moment, and he suddenly found that what he thought he could let go of was the best time in his life.The man who seemed to be full of flaws was the best person in his 20 years of life.

Only when you lose it will you know how precious it is, and you will want to cherish it, but that person is no longer there.

But originally, everything may not be like this.If Zheng Lie is still fine, he must have a way to save him. He will definitely wait until Zheng Lie smiles at him again, cares about his illness, kisses him, and hugs him...

Andre's life alone is far from enough to appease their resentment and anger!

The entire Doyle family, the Lou family, and Nanfeng City opposed all the personnel involved in the Xiao, Zheng, and An families...

In the past ten years, these inextricably linked forces have been disintegrated one by one in Zhuo Shuran's hands.In order to retaliate, he also took the initiative to form alliances with Xiao Shen and An Shiwei, and even cooperated with his most hated brother Yin Zhaolan.

He was too busy to take care of Zheng Mingbao in every detail as before.Stimulated by Zheng Lie's death, Zheng Mingbao became sensible, and Zhuo Shuran's lack of time to take care of him accelerated his growth.Before he knew it, Zhuo Shuran found that he had turned into the one taken care of by Zheng Mingbao.He almost never heard Zheng Mingbao mention Zheng Lie again.

This made Zhuo Shuran feel a little complicated.In the past ten years, among Zheng Lie's five godsons, Yin Zhaolan took over the Zhongtian Group. He never got married or had boyfriend and girlfriend. In a group with deep roots.After Zheng Lie's death, most of his estate was inherited by Zheng Mingbao, Zheng Lie's only legal adopted son.Zheng Mingbao wanted to return everything to Yin Zhaolan, Zheng Lie's chosen heir to the group, but Yin Zhaolan didn't accept it at all.He is willing to work for Zheng Mingbao, because he thinks Zheng Mingbao is Zheng Lie's real son.Over the years, the size of Zhongtian Group has more than doubled than before, but Yin Zhaolan always spends one and a half months in the hospital every year, usually due to fatigue and mental exhaustion, and then regularly sees a psychologist.Everyone knew that if he continued to maintain this busy state, the day when he would completely collapse would not be far away.But unless Zheng Lie can come back from the dead, Yin Zhaolan will carry this burden until his death.

The burden of indirectly killing the person you love the most.

Qin Zhen was thrown sulfuric acid at work shortly after Zheng Lie's death, causing moderate burns on his face and upper body, and his acting career has since come to an end.The prisoner's name was Ling Ruian, who was said to be his ex-lover.Zhuo Shuran has seen the surveillance video of the whole process of Qin Zhen being splashed with sulfuric acid. At that time, Qin Zhen was in a state of trance and did not dodge the oncoming sulfuric acid at all.The disfigured Qin Zhen appeared in front of the public for the last time, wearing a hat that was pressed down so low that only his chin was exposed.There was a faint smile on his mouth, as if he was relieved.After that, he disappeared in Nanfeng City until the newspaper reported that he committed suicide by lying on the train.

Even if he was not disfigured and later committed suicide, Xiao Shen and An Shiwei would not let him go.Zheng Lie's death turned Xiao Shen and An Shiwei into mad dogs, and everyone involved in Zheng Lie's death was retaliated against.Although Qin Zhen did not participate in the killing of Zheng Lie, he found another lover and betrayed Zheng Lie, which was enough for the two of them to vent their anger.

Zheng Fei was missing.Many people speculate that Zheng Lie's body was stolen by him, but unfortunately he seems to have disappeared from this world, and no one can confirm this.

Zhuo Shuran and Zheng Mingbao seem to be the only ones living better.Especially Zheng Mingbao.Because he is Zheng Lie's only legal adopted son, he has everyone's support.They made up for Zheng Mingbao's nostalgia and guilt for Zheng Lie.

Zhuo Shuran also had high hopes for Zheng Mingbao.His asthma has worsened year by year, and he has developed various complications, even showing symptoms of heart failure.Zhuo Shuran didn't know when he would stop breathing suddenly.He hoped that Zheng Mingbao could support everything after losing him.

However, it must not be under the premise of forgetting Zheng Lie.

Zhuo Shuran admitted that he was paranoid and domineering.But no matter what Zheng Lie has done to Zheng Mingbao, he can't forget Zheng Lie after he got everything from Zheng Lie!

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Zheng Mingbao looked at Zhuo Shuran helplessly, "How could I... forget Dad?"

The father who always loved him and doted on him, who responded to his every request, the father who instinctively trusted and relied on him when he was still ignorant...the father who could not resent him even if he forcibly took away his virginity...

Thinking of the locked drawing in that room, and those smiling eyes that were always warm and doting, a touch of tenderness flashed in Zheng Mingbao's eyes.

Moreover, until now, how could Zheng Mingbao have not noticed that Zhuo Shuran's handwriting was in the only intimate contact between him and Zheng Lie?He's just a late bloomer, not stupid.

The regret that Zhuo Shuran has always kept in his heart, is it not his regret?He didn't even have time to understand love, his first love had already been buried.

It's just that Zhuo Shuran has been tortured by this relationship to the present state, how could he have the heart to tell the truth and hurt this brother who has always depended on him for life?

Zheng Mingbao gently held Zhuo Shuran's hand, and said seriously: "Brother, don't worry, I will never, never hate Dad, no matter what he has done to me."

Zhuo Shuran looked at him deeply for a while, then nodded slightly in satisfaction.But after talking for a while, his thin and haggard face showed a sick tired look, but he still said slowly: "When you take over Zhongtian, change his name to Zheng Group! The founder must be your father, let More people remember him... From now on, your children will call him Grandpa. In fact, he hates children very much, but Zheng Fei and you are exceptions. He just left us alone, don't let him go easily, let your The children bother him, and when he gets angry, I can laugh at him... Don't give up on getting back his ashes, Zheng Fei wants to dominate him alone, don't even think about it... He is not a dedicated person, and treats him every day. Looking at Zheng Fei alone, I must have gotten tired of it..."

Zheng Mingbao's eyes turned red, and he agreed one by one with a choked voice.Zhuo Shuran's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, and finally he closed his eyes and fell asleep as if extremely tired.

Zheng Mingbao lay beside him, weeping quietly...
