Star road

Just as Xiao Ye hung up Chen Xing's phone call, the car door was opened. Qi Shuhua stood outside in a black suit, bowing his head slightly, "Master, please."

Xiao Ye got out of the car, stood proudly, squinted his eyes and looked forward.

He and Chen Xing said on the phone just now that he was busy, and what he was busy with was the important matter of the Xiao family - the succession of the Patriarch.

The ancestors of the Xiao family thought deeply and set a set of rules in order to prevent the descendants from failing to live up to the family's downfall.The old patriarch must give way to the new patriarch at the age of 60, and the new patriarch has a five-year probationary period. If the five-year period expires, if it proves that he is not qualified to be the patriarch, the old patriarch will take power again and act as an agent until the next generation of patriarch is capable. time of inheritance.

And this proof is determined by the so-called Presbyterian Church.After several generations, the tricks in it are not enough for outsiders.

Today is Xiao Tingran's 60th birthday.However, the Xiao family did not hold any external banquets, and all the important figures from the main family and branches from various places gathered in the building in front of Xiao Ye——

Xiao Family Ancestral Hall.

"Master, uncles, masters and elders are all inside." Qi Shuhua said in a low voice, with a solemn expression.

"They came quickly." Xiao Ye twitched his lips.

"Masters are in a hurry."

Xiao Ye smiled lightly, "Shuhua, you seem nervous?"

Qi Shuhua hesitated for a moment, but still said it out, "I just got the news that some of them spent a few minutes alone an hour ago."

"Then I want to take a good look at what kind of tricks those old guys are playing!" Xiao Ye sneered, "Let's go, the old man is not energetic, so I can't wait. Wait for one or two of them to get sick, it's better Mine is not."

"Master Chen, here..." A Biao stopped the car at No. 35 Beiyang Road, and couldn't help hesitatingly speaking.

Chen Xing understood what he was worried about, and smiled and said: "Today is my classmate's birthday, I just came to join in the fun, you can wait for me to go back together. I don't drink, don't worry, he..." He paused slightly, "He won't knew."

"Master Chen, that's not what I meant."

"I understand, you are worried about me."

A Biao knew that Chen Xing was a well-measured person, so he didn't say anything more, but just followed Chen Xing after getting off the car, secretly reminding him to be very careful.

No. 35 Beiyang Road is a large-scale entertainment club with a complicated environment.Zhong Jing is not very old, but he has learned some dandy habits. Chen Xing has long expected that with his personality, the place he chose must not be a quiet place.

As expected, he walked into the box that Zhong Jing had reserved, the lights were dim, and apart from a few classmates including Wang Shanshan, the boy Zhong Jing, one on the left and one on the right, were feeding him wine happily.The outrageous thing is that Wang Shanshan, a girl, is booing beside her...

Chen Xing felt a headache and couldn't help stroking his forehead.

As soon as Zhong Jing saw Chen Xing, he yelled loudly, "Why are you so slow? No, yes, I have to drink three glasses of wine as a penalty!" With a gesture of his eyes, a young lady walked up with a wine glass and leaned on Chen Xing.

The smell of perfume and alcohol came to the nostrils, Chen Xing frowned, and was about to back away when A Biao stepped forward to stop the lady's hand, "Master Chen doesn't drink."

"Who are you? What are you doing here at a party at the master's house?" Zhong Jing got drunk and suddenly became angry from embarrassment, "I'm exchanging feelings with your young master, why are you so unruly! Ah——what are you doing? !"

Zhong Jing covered his head and jumped up.

Wang Shanshan went over again, with her hands on her hips, "Are you confused? Chenxing can't drink, and you didn't just know it today! Don't think that you can bully our Chenxing just because you are a birthday star!"

After Zhong Jing was knocked twice, he seemed to wake up, with a stinky face full of discomfort, "I really forgot...Chen Xing, if you are late, you are late. If you can't drink alcohol, let's use a drink instead."

Chen Xing smiled, and took the cup generously, "Happy Birthday!" After drinking it in one gulp, she found that it contained milk, and her heart warmed.This milk should have been prepared earlier, it seems that Zhong Jing was really confused just now, and he didn't intend to make things difficult.

"Bring it!" Zhong Jing stretched out his hand.

"what?"

"Could it be that you have the nerve to come empty-handed?" Zhong Jing squinted at him.

"Are you talking about presents?" Chen Xing frowned slightly, "Your Young Master Zhong doesn't lack anything, I have nothing to offer, I can only guarantee that you won't be kicked out by the old man next semester."

"Hahahaha..." Wang Shanshan burst out laughing, and the others couldn't help laughing too.Even the two young ladies twitched the corners of their mouths, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.

Zhong Jing's face was colorful, which looked really good under the light, and he glared at the two ladies in a blink of an eye: "Get out! He has a fairy air, you vulgar fans are here, don't defile him!"

"Nonsense!" Chen Xing gave him a hammer.

Zhong Jing was not convinced, and pointed at Wang Shanshan, "Tell me, am I talking nonsense?" He suddenly slapped his forehead, and suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, I am talking nonsense, why did you drive the lady out? It's over...do you want to invite some good ones to come in to add to the fun?"

Chen Xing was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, bent his elbow on his chest, went straight to Wang Shanshan and sat down.A Biao followed and stood behind him.

After all, Zhong Jing has a young master's temper. Seeing A Biao's actions, he remembered the unhappiness just now.Although it was true that he was wrong just now, in his mind, there is a clear distinction between master and servant, and A Biao's bodyguard did this, which obviously swept his face.

"Chen Xing, there are only a few friends here, and this big guy is standing behind you, we can't let go!"

One of the other two agreed, "Indeed...your bodyguards feel oppressive."

This person was Zhong Jing's friend, and Chen Xing didn't know him, but what they said was reasonable, and even Wang Shanshan nodded in agreement.Chen Xing smiled lightly, "A Biao, can you wait outside? Why don't you open another box to play?"

"Master Chen, I'll wait at the door."

As soon as A Biao left, the atmosphere relaxed a lot.With Chen Xing around, Zhong Jing didn't call anyone in, and had a drink with his two friends.Wang Shanshan was talking to Chen Xing. According to her introduction, those two friends were also the young masters of some official family. No wonder they seemed to be very familiar with Zhong Jing.

They drank for a while, and the topic gradually became out of control.Most of the second-generation officials at this age have older brothers, are spoiled by their families, and are usually domineering. They are all typical playboys.Those who eat, drink and have fun are doing very well.

"Young Master Zhong, you are the birthday star today, what kind of fun do you plan to have?"

"Wang Shao has a good suggestion?"

"Hehe..." Young Master Wang is only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, with a somewhat feminine appearance, but the expression on his face at this time is lewd, "Young Master Zhong is very good among women, right? Have you ever played with men? "

"Tch, how do men play?"

"You don't know that, do you? I used to think there was something fun about it. There's no way a woman would be as soft as a stiff one. But last time a friend gave me a treat, not to mention, the taste was ecstasy. ... In short, men and women have their own advantages and disadvantages! There are also some here, do you want to try it later?"

"Really?" Zhong Jing asked in a puzzled tone.

"Whether it's true or not, you'll know if you try it. Will I still lie to you?"

Chen Xing's complexion was ugly, and it was hard to see clearly in the dim light.What they said had nothing to do with him at all, but listening to these unscrupulous words, the experience many years ago suddenly flooded up like a tide, which made his eyes go black for a while.Wang Shanshan next to him didn't notice the change, but she was a girl after all, her face was always thinner, so she couldn't help it now, "Master Zhong! Birthday boy! Are you still going to cut the cake?"

Zhong Jing suddenly recalled, "Yes, yes, cut the cake!" Amidst the shouts, the cake was brought up, the candles were lit and the candles were blown out, the unsavory words just now disappeared, and several people laughed again.

Chen Xing was lost in thought while holding the cake in his hand.Such lighting, such environment... many years ago...

As he grew older, he clearly understood what those experiences in the past represented.Although he was not treated, he still heard and saw some things.Having had such a past, thinking of the "immortal spirit" that Zhong Jing joked about, I just feel ironic.

Almost, that is endless darkness, fortunately there is him, fortunately there is him.

A hand stretched out in front of her eyes: "It's your turn!"

"What?" Chen Xing came back to his senses, looked up and saw Zhong Jing's smelly face, and immediately reacted, took out a box, "Here."

Zhong Jing took it back in satisfaction: "That's about the same. I thought you, an idiot, really came empty-handed."

Chen Xing could only pretend that he didn't hear the various titles he gave to the crown.Zhong Jing has always spoken without restraint, he has already developed immunity.

"Come on, you drink milk and I drink, let's have a drink!"

Zhong Jing gulped it down boldly, the liquid had just slipped down his throat when suddenly his eyes went dark and his body fell forward uncontrollably.
