Drowning Reborn

The Wang family's house is located in the old town of B City, where the land is very expensive. The old house, which is incompatible with the surrounding towering buildings, is full of simplicity and vicissitudes, showing the glory of the Wang family.

Even if Jiang Zechen doesn't have much research on real estate, he knows that if he sells the land of the Wang family, he will definitely make a lot of money. But unless the Wang family is completely ruined, no one will be able to touch this ancient house that is almost the lifeblood of the Wang family. .

Compared with Jiang's family, the Wang family's compound can be regarded as a sparsely populated one—it's not because the Wang family has fallen to the point where no one wants to visit, but because the old man of the Wang family has too high a vision, and he was able to get into his eyes and be invited. There are very few people who set foot in this courtyard.

Although the aura above the head is not as good as before, the Wang family still has the arrogance and even aloofness unique to the ancient official family. It is not like Jiang's father who is a complete businessman. The other party "feels right at home".

The two elders of the Wang family are happy and quiet, and they are too old to bear the quarrels. During the holidays, they basically gather together with their own direct descendants, and rarely entertain outsiders——Jiang Zechen doesn't know whether his status is really worth it. It can be regarded as a "foreigner".

When Jiang Zechen followed Jiang's father and Jiang Zehan into the Wang family compound, he couldn't say he was worried, but he didn't feel at ease. After all, he knew what kind of identity he was, and it was impossible to expect anything, and he had done a lot of psychological construction in advance. heap.

If Jiang Zechen was allowed to choose by himself, he really didn't want to come here.But he didn't want to embarrass Jiang Zehan, let alone anger Jiang's father.Jiang's father has always been a strict father in Jiang Zechen's eyes. He seldom moves his mouth. He likes to do it when he comes up. He is still heavy handed. It is probably because I am going to accept the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms or the Dog Beating Stick next time.

Jiang Zechen will not make things difficult for his skin and tender flesh, and anger his temporary parents, so when he had to be forced to go to Liangshan, he made up his mind to talk less, do less and make mistakes, and use the talent skills of a passer-by to act as a part-timer. The perfect wallflower.

——And the reality...is not much different from what Jiang Zechen imagined.

In the living room of the Wang family, the two elders of the Wang family are talking and laughing at Yan Yan with their children and grandchildren—although the only jewel in the palm is gone, there are not too few descendants of the direct line. Jiang Zechen followed Jiang Zehan to watch him along the way. My aunt screamed, and soon became dizzy.Simply, he didn't bother to remember these people, but was obediently led by Jiang Zehan, and then foolishly maintained a stiff smile as the background board.

Jiang Zechen could tell that these people were not enthusiastic about him, and even less liked him. The good-tempered ones smiled politely and said a few words, while the bad-tempered ones just turned a blind eye. The only one who showed a little kindness to Jiang Zechen's raw face The only ones are a few young children, but this time it is Jiang Zechen's turn to insist on "mature thinking" and ignore them.

Jiang Zehan held Jiang Zechen's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that he would turn his face because of this difficult situation, but Jiang Zechen felt that the other party was definitely worrying too much. Although he had a bad temper, he also knew that he couldn't lose his temper at this time—— Anyway, he had experienced too many such gazes in his previous life, so many that they could not hurt his thick skin at all.

Jiang Zehan has been brought to the front of the two elders of the Wang family, and he smiled and said a few words of blessings that Jiang Zehan had made up long ago. Too much.

Mrs. Wang held Jiang Zechen's hand and asked some questions about him. Jiang Zechen answered carefully, not showing timidity so as not to be looked down upon, and not showing sharpness so as not to be missed, perfectly playing the role of a girl who grew up in a honeypot. A stupid young man who grows up to eat and drink well - life is full of stages, and acting skills can not only be honed under the spotlight, Jiang Zechen feels that the life path he chose for himself is really too wise.

After asking a few words, Mrs. Wang was satisfied, so she put Jiang Zechen aside, and turned to hugging Jiang Zehan to ask for warmth, and chatting with Jiang's father occasionally, so as not to neglect this "son-in-law".

Seeing that his role was completed, Jiang Zechen retired very sensibly, pretending to be very interested in the candies on the table, walked over to grab a few pieces.

With a piece of candy in his mouth, ignoring the estrangement of the people around him, Jiang Zechen stood there alone, and he was purified as he wished. Only Jiang Zehan's eyes flew to him from time to time, caring and comforting , Let Jiang Zechen know that he has not completely become a transparent person.As for the other father Jiang who was related to him by blood, he focused all his attention on Mr. Wang who was cheerfully and constantly praising him for his hard work and efforts to expand the company's influence abroad.

Jiang Zechen knew that Jiang Zehan was the only person who still missed him in this courtyard of the Wang family—no matter what his reason was—but unfortunately, his identity was different after all, and he was taken by the Wang family's elders with affection, and he would not let him go for a moment. open.Jiang Zechen was the background for a while, and felt bored, so he simply slipped out of the living room when Jiang Zehan was not paying attention, intending to go outside to let the wind go.

——Anyway, he is still a spoiled ten-year-old kid. After being ignored for such a long time, he is already very well-behaved without making a lot of noise to win others. It is reasonable to run out to play when he is bored. isn't it?If he endured it silently, he would be a "good seedling" with a "strong heart" and "capable of doing great things"!

Leaving his elder brother among a bunch of wolves and tigers, Jiang Zechen sneaked away without any pressure or difficulty. He quickly ran from the courtyard to the back garden of the Wang family, treating himself as a free tour Quaint old mansion park.

The Wang family’s backyard is full of winding paths and strange stones, which is especially suitable for some people who have nothing to do and hide here while enjoying the scenery while chewing their tongues. It is also especially suitable for others to hide in the corners and listen to the corners.Jiang Zechen, who originally planned to simply visit, unfortunately became the latter, and the reason why the second young master of the Jiang family did such a tasteless thing was naturally because the Jiang family was the one who was being gossiped about, and the content was nothing more than It's just how wise the two elders of the Wang family are, how upbeat Jiang Zehan is, and how stupid Jiang Zechen is... that's all.

In fact, these are nothing new, at least the conjectures obtained after the accumulation of secret observations in the previous life and this life are almost the same, but Jiang Zechen didn't know, let Jiang Zehan kill his potential competitors in the cradle in a doting way The method in the middle was first proposed by the two elders of the Wang family - sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy.

The Wang family is lofty and pretentious, but they are not fools. Their bodies are stained with worldly smoke and fire, so in order to survive, they naturally cannot be refined.Jiang Zechen felt that people who grew up in a big family might instinctively have a strong sense of competition and comparison - just like him, a worthless guy, didn't he fight because of it in the end? ——And someone like the second elder of the Wang family who can stand out from the competition and control the entire family is even more outstanding.

They all saw what Jiang's father did. Although people cannot be resurrected after death, they will naturally have to pay a price for harming others.The two elders of the Wang family decided that since Jiang's father tossed their daughter to death, he would use the entire Jiang family's family property to pay back.

The period when Jiang Zehan just lost his mother was the most vulnerable. From that moment on, he gradually transformed from an ordinary smart child into a conspirator who planned before acting. During this transformation, the Wang family can be described as It is indispensable.On the one hand, Jiang Zehan’s dissatisfaction and even hatred were provoked by Jiang’s father’s actions; However, the next generation of the Jiang family is farther and farther away from their father, and the Wang family can gradually occupy Jiang's father's original position in Jiang Zehan's heart and become his pillar and support. .After Jiang Zehan separated from Jiang's father, even if his surname was still Jiang, everything still fell into the hands of the Wang family in the end.

——Everyone is planning for himself, no one is for himself, and heaven and earth will perish, whether it is the two elders of the Wang family who love their grandson, the wife of the Jiang family who cares about their son, or the ambitious use of the help of the Wang family with ulterior motives to make a big show of their plans Jiang's father, who has fists and feet but does not want to encounter unexpected disasters.The competition for interests has always been the main theme in the big family, and who will win in the end depends on the means and luck.

In fact, Jiang Zechen felt that he and Jiang Zehan were about the same. They were both pawns, either willingly or forced to take part in the game, and the end result of being pawns was not to be eaten by stronger pawns. It is to be the most convenient chess piece in a lifetime, and only a few people can finally strive to become the one who can play chess, hold the whole chess game in their own hands, and let others become their own chess pieces.

Maybe it was Jiang Zehan who won in the end, but he worked hard all his life from childhood to adulthood, carefully guarding against and calculating everyone, and had no peace; but he who lost, at least spent the best carefree period in his life, and then Losing was straightforward, without pressure, and did not suffer for too long.Whether to live in pain or to die happily is up to each person.

—Tsk, thinking about it this way, Jiang Zechen felt suddenly enlightened, and Ah Q's spiritual victory method was indeed incomparably wonderful.

After comforting himself for a while, Jiang Zechen quietly left the back garden. Although he felt comfortable in his heart, he couldn't show it. Instead, he put on a bitter face, full of worries.

Naturally, Jiang Zechen's appearance cannot escape Jiang Zehan's eyes.It's just that he didn't ask, until after lunch and returning to Jiang's house with Jiang's father, Jiang Zechen was dragged back to the room by his brother and sat on the bed to whisper.

"What happened, Xiaochen, did someone bully you?" Looking at Jiang Zechen worriedly, Jiang Zehan always felt that such a thoughtful and gloomy expression was not suitable for his cheerful and heartless younger brother, so he couldn't help but circle him In his arms, he asked carefully.

Jiang Zechen shook his head, his eyes flickered, and he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't make a sound.

"Xiaochen?" Jiang Zehan couldn't help feeling a little flustered, subconsciously tightened his arms, and let Jiang Zechen stick to him, "A brother like you is very worried, what happened?"

"...It's okay." Jiang Zechen finally shook his head, biting his lips, with a stubborn look that would rather die than surrender.

"Impossible to be fine!" Jiang Zehan raised his voice, turned his face to the mirror beside the bed, and let him stare at the young man whose eyes were flushed because of his grievance, "Xiaochen, you won't lie at all, no Will cover up thoughts!"

——Fart, I have been lying since my last life, and in this life I have been "duplicity" as a career. After all, I have one foot in the professional entertainment circle, how could I not even know how to lie and cover up?

Jiang Zechen sniffled, looked down, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and looked forced to hesitate and confess, "Brother, I said that I don't like the Wang family and your grandparents, will you be unhappy... ...?"

Lifting Jiang Zechen's chin, looking at those dark but pure eyes that had been moistened, Jiang Zehan's heart that had been on his back finally relaxed slightly, and the corners of his tight mouth eased, revealing a smile.

"Idiot, how could my brother not like Xiaochen because of this?" Rubbing Jiang Zechen's hair, Jiang Zehan softly coaxed, "Who does Xiaochen like is Xiaochen's business, as long as Xiaochen always likes brother, that's fine. Man... Brother wished Xiaochen didn't even like it!"

"Well... I believe in brother!" Jiang Zechen finally showed a smile, buried his head into the crook of Jiang Zehan's neck, rubbed it away, and wiped away the few drops of crocodile tears he managed to squeeze out.

——After being cheated for so long, no matter how stupid Jiang Zechen is, it is time to apply what he has learned.He didn't expect to be able to trap Jiang Zehan, but only hoped that at critical moments in the future, there would be a way out so that he could avoid disaster safely.

——In any case, Jiang Zechen hoped that this time to prepare for a rainy day, but in fact it was superfluous and would never be used.

After the two Jiang brothers "heart-to-heart" and "tenderness" for a while, they were pulled out of the world of the two by Mrs. Jiang's shout.Just as the two elders of the Wang family did not want Jiang Zehan and Jiang Zechen to get too close, Mrs. Jiang also found it annoying to see her son getting so close to Jiang Zehan.

Jiang Zechen reluctantly got out of Jiang Zehan's arms, spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, and then walked towards the door in a loud voice, while Jiang Zehan was still sitting by the bed, plucking his hair in an unhappy mood.

"Actually, Xiaochen, we're pretty even."

"...What?" Jiang Zechen turned around, dazed.

"You don't like my grandpa and grandma. In fact, I don't like your mother either." Jiang Zehan said lightly.

"...Why?" Jiang Zechen's heart trembled. He didn't expect Jiang Zehan to pierce what he had been pretending so simply—this is not scientific at all!Jiang Zehan, what's wrong with you? !

"Because she always disturbs us, and she can't even get together to whisper for a while." Jiang Zehan rolled his eyes with a smile, "Well, by the way, the same reason, I don't like Dad either."

"..." Jiang Zechen twitched the corner of his mouth, and finally decided to turn his head and ignore his eldest brother who had a sudden convulsion.

——What kind of mess is this, buddy, are you kidding me or are you kidding me?It's so frightening to death! Hey!
