The rain was so heavy that the vision was blurred.

The depths and shallows of the road are full of stagnant water, which is hard to see clearly.When I drove to the intersection, I didn't know what I hit. The car suddenly bumped and turned off.Ding Ran tried in vain, but couldn't start it after repeated several times. He took out his mobile phone to check, and it turned off automatically due to insufficient battery.

To his chagrin, such ill-conceived emergencies are the most depressing and anxiety-provoking.

In desperation, I had no choice but to abandon the car and walk in the rain.Fortunately, not far from home, only 5 minutes away.Thunder and lightning, torrential rain, one foot deep and one foot shallow, the shoes and pantyhose were soaked in no time.

Under the morbid psychological effect of excessive love for cleanliness, he almost clearly felt that the sticky, dirty, musty-smelling mud was carrying countless bacteria, virus and parasites, and was clinging to his limbs bit by bit. Penetrating into the skin, biting the internal organs and blood.It made him gag at his body.

The light in the entrance was on, and Uncle Quan was sitting on the sofa in the small living room, as if waiting for him specially.

Seeing Ding Ran's embarrassed and tired look, Uncle Quan hesitated for a moment, and first asked with concern: "Aran, what's the matter? Hurry up, hurry up and change clothes, be careful of catching a cold." After a pause, his expression changed again. He conveyed strangely, "Mister has ordered you to see him as soon as you come back. He is waiting for you in the study."

Ding Ran was taken aback for a moment, then nodded sensibly.While going upstairs, he secretly speculated about Master Ding's intention to find him.After hesitating in his mind, his footsteps had already reached the door of the study, so he knocked on the door and poked his head in: "Godfather, are you looking for me?"

After only a short glance, Ding Ran was keenly aware of the abnormality in the atmosphere.The smell of smoke is quite heavy in the room, and the air is cold.Master Ding was sitting in the chair, his face was black and blue, he seemed to be trying his best to suppress some strong emotion, even the air around him was almost frozen.

"Come in and close the door." Master Ding confessed coldly.Such a blunt command tone was unprecedented.

Ding Ran's mood suddenly became tense, he walked in at a loss, closed the door lightly, quietly stood in front of Mr. Ding's desk, and stood with his head bowed.

Master Ding's gaze was like a knife, and he scrutinized his whole body as if he had been skinned and boned. Then he grabbed a document bag from the drawer and put it heavily on the table: "Look at this first!"

Ding Ran carefully observed Master Ding's face, not daring to say much, and opened the bag neatly with his hands. Inside were a dozen thick photos, all of which were beautifully landscaped and generously composed—some outside the gate of Sifang Daoyi Hall, some In the private car at the intersection of Dongsantiao Avenue, there are downstairs of Lei Ting’s house in Jinshuiwan, and there are also docks, restaurants, and bookstores. The time may be daytime, evening, and late night... The same thing is that the protagonist in every photo is him. and Thunder.The two behaved intimately, talking and laughing, playing and hugging, even overlapping their lips and kissing together...

Ding Ran suddenly realized that the pursuit of the tail and the lingering shadow were all for this!

Then, the abnormal light spots in the neighborhood park in Toronto in the afternoon are not sniper mirrors, makeup mirrors, or rearview mirrors at all, but come from the long lens of a certain camera and the peeping eyes behind it.

The fingers pinching the photo were too hard, the knuckles turned white, the blood color faded from the beautiful and clean face, the corners of the mouth trembled, but no sound came out.

In the huge room, there was a dead silence, only Master Ding's slightly heavy breathing could be heard because of his excitement.He exhaled heavily the stale air accumulated in his chest, and asked angrily: "Is there nothing you want to explain, Aran?"

After standing in a daze for a long time, Ding Ran said with difficulty: "I...Godfather, Lei Ting has always regarded me as a good brother, but I...I like him...that kind of love...I forced him to be with me... "

Master Ding couldn't stand it anymore.Anger, disappointment, and a deep sense of shame overwhelmed him.This is his good son, the good son he has raised for ten years as his own and caring, the good son who once made him feel more caring and sensible than his own daughter!

Master Ding jumped up, threw the paper and pens on the table in front of him to the ground, and rushed in front of Ding Ran furiously, pointed his forehead and reprimanded loudly: "You tell me, tell me immediately, say you are just playing for fun!" It's just that they are ignorant and nonsense, they are just trying to catch up with the trend, and they are acting on the spot, so say it! Say it!"

"Godfather..." Ding Ran looked over quietly, his big eyes were gray, and he quickly lowered his eyelids, staring at his toes, "I'm serious."

"You!" Under the rage, Master Ding's face almost turned black and purple, and he raised his huge palm high and waved towards Ding Ran.

Ding Ran instinctively closed his eyes and frowned, but he didn't dodge.That slap in the air struggled for a long time, but it didn't land on his son's face.Master Ding's arms were hanging down weakly, he staggered and turned around, heaving a long sigh.In an instant, he was very old.

On the outside, he can command with determination, lift weights with ease, override justice and the law, and easily control the life and death of others. He is so calm that he is almost cruel, and his determination is almost cruel.But facing his family, especially his own children, this middle-aged single father has always been generous and doting.

When Ding Ran was young, Ding Ran refused to communicate with others, so Master Ding took time out to play with him in person every day; if he didn’t want to go out, he invited the teacher to his home to teach and study; He is supervised by a special person, just because he can go fishing at any time when he is interested; in order to teach him how to learn knives, he specially flew to Batangas, Philippines, the birthplace of butterfly knives, and asked local old craftsmen to handcraft a unique knife for him. son.

Even Ding Fei had been spanked for being naughty when he was a child, Master Ding didn't even move a single finger to him alone.Even at this moment, with such heartache and disappointment, I still couldn't bear to slap this slap.

Ding Ran felt sore in his heart.He doesn't think he's wrong, how can he be wrong when he loves someone?But inexplicably, he felt that he had no face to face his adoptive father.I wish that Master Ding could scold him at this moment, or slap him several times, it would make things easier.

The father and son were entangled in their own minds, and there was a long silence.

Finally, it was Master Ding who spoke first: "Aran, I don't want to say anything more. I give you two choices, either, give up this idea immediately and make a clean break with Lei Ting. Or, pack your bags and go to the United States."

Ding Ran looked at his toes with big eyes without blinking, with a sad look on his face.A few minutes later, he knelt down on the ground with a "plop".

No need to say anything, Master Ding already understood everything.He knew his son too well, this silent kneeling was his resistance.From childhood to adulthood, he never cried, begged, cursed, or argued. He was just silent—silent and stubborn, calm but firm.

Master Ding shook his head, hummed bitterly, and walked out of the study without looking back.

There is no moon outside the window, and the rain seems to be dyed with ink, slowly smearing against the glass, smearing the thick night.

In the dim light, Ding Ran knelt motionless.

For a while, I was in a trance, my ears were pattering, and amidst the sound of dripping rain, there was a mischievous bark of "Wang Wang"... It was not a puppy barking, but Lei Ting's voice pretending that a puppy was calling him.

Closing his eyes, he could clearly see Lei Ting jumping out from between the two big trees outside the back window of his bedroom, waving his arms, with a bright childish smile on his face.He will put one hand on his waist, hold his fist high in the air, crazily imitate the transformation of Phantom Superman, and emit phantom light waves...

That is his poodle, that is his own Thunder!The corners of her pale mouth were slightly pulled up, and she smiled bitterly.

This night, everyone in the Ding Mansion was destined to be disturbed by the heavy rain so that they could not sleep.

The light in Master Ding's bedroom was always on.He was ups and downs, tossing and turning, looking up to the sky and sighing.

This pair of children seem to be smart, well-behaved and sensible, beautiful, gentle and polite, but what they do is extremely stupid.One, two, both like to make troubles for their father, and they fall on the word "love" again and again, they are friends from previous lives who come to collect debts.

The older one had a secret affair with Luo Xiaosheng, conceived before marriage, and only came to the showdown when the matter came to an end, which caught his father by surprise when life and death were at stake, and had to hastily make a will, naming Luo Xiaosheng as his successor.

Now that things have changed, I finally realized that Luo Xiaosheng was not the best choice. After careful consideration, I still chose Thunder.Originally, just before all this happened, he had already decided to call Berger's lawyer in New York to discuss re-drafting the will, but the younger one caused such a scandal again.

It turns out that A Ran has been advocating Lei Ting vigorously all the time, and it is because of this kind of intention.Master Ding smiled wryly, what a boy, even your father was tricked by you, and...you played it so badly.

However, Master Ding is Master Ding after all, no matter how depressed and angry he is at this moment, he will not be dazzled by anger.

Ding Ran was certainly at fault, but his fault was a family matter and an inside story, and if it spread, it would at most damage his reputation, and it was not considered a heinous crime.

The youngest son is only 20 years old now, and has yet to show any extraordinary abilities. He is introverted and has a weird temper.Even if someone is afraid of the Ding family's son's status, given his age and qualifications, it will take at least ten or eight years to achieve something.

So, who took such painstaking efforts to take pictures of the evidence, and then sent it to him?Who would benefit from letting him lose confidence in his son, or even fall out?

If the son can threaten anyone, heh, the only one is the daughter.Because of the younger brother's arrival, half of the father's love that was originally exclusive to him was divided, and the older sister held a grudge because of jealousy. Isn't this a classic plot of many family soap operas?

But this ridiculous reason is completely untenable in his family.When he brought Ding Ran back home, Ding Fei was overjoyed immediately. He cared for and cared for his younger brother since he was a child, and took good care of him.After he became sensible, Ding Ran also wholeheartedly defended this unrelated sister, and even wished to hold her niece on top of her heart.

So who else would want their father and son to be at odds?Could it be... Luo Xiaosheng?After all, Ding Fei is a girl. With the current situation of the Ding family, the only one who can compete with Luo Xiaosheng for the inheritance right is Ding Ran, the adopted son.

But where did Ding Ran have the ability to threaten Luo Xiaosheng?Unless, this point of attack was turned around and finally pointed at Lei Ting!

That's right, I have repeatedly expressed my affirmation and preference for Lei Ting in public, and some time ago, I even intended to cultivate and support it, all of which are obvious to all.It just happened to be like this, and at this time, when he was thinking about reconsidering his successor, those photos appeared!

For a moment, the faces of Ding Fei, Ding Ran, Lei Ting, and Luo Xiaosheng alternated in front of them like a revolving lantern...

Until early in the morning, the dark sky in the east showed a hint of paleness. Finally, Mr. Ding couldn't bear it any longer. He got up quietly, came to the door of the study, and looked carefully through the gap. Ding Ran still maintained the posture of last night, kneeling upright like a stone statue. On the ground, there was no sound.
