fair retaliation

In Xu's study.

Xu Wenshan was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, while Siming was silent beside him.

After a long time, Xu Wenshan put down his teacup and said, "This Muyushi tea set is very useful. It's rare that you have the heart to bring me a gift when you travel."

"I bought it by chance when I was in Yantai." Siming paused: "As long as you like it."

Xu Wenshan put down his teacup, and smiled slightly: "I won't beat around the bush. I called you over this morning to ask you, how are you thinking?"

"I promise you to take over as the president of Nanyao." Siming raised his head, "However, I have one condition."

"Say."

"Tianyu's fate is up to me to decide."

Xu Wenshan smiled, picked up his teacup and took a sip: "I've been planning carefully for so long, the purpose is to annex Tianyu, and seeing that the prey is about to be obtained, why do you give up?"

Siming said solemnly: "Uncle Xu, we agreed at the beginning that as long as Tianyu withdraws from the software market, we will no longer interfere in their internal affairs." After a pause, "You broke the contract first."

Xu Wenshan frowned: "Annexing Tianyu to strengthen our power, I am also planning for your future, what's wrong?"

"The annexation of Tianyu will inevitably make them feel dissatisfied. Besides, after the annexation, there must be a large-scale adjustment of personnel, which may be counterproductive." Siming paused slightly, "Why don't we buy shares and control their funds, but the decision-making power still remains with them. In his hands, Tianyu is still Tianyu, not a branch of Nanyao."

Xu Wenshan smiled: "It's not just the reason, is it?"

Siming said frankly: "Of course, I still have selfish motives. I think you have investigated it and are very clear about my reasons for doing so."

"Ye Jinghui?"

"Yes."

Xu Wenshan was silent for a moment: "Are you really planning to be with him? Are you afraid that he will stab you again? As far as I know, he doesn't believe you, and even regards you as an enemy. You were afraid that I would be bad for Tianyu, so you desperately Prevent Xiao Yi from signing the three-party contract, and the result is that Ye Jinghui was a ghost secretly and drove you out of Dongbin instead. This is called a dog biting Lu Dongbin, who doesn't know good people, why should you sacrifice so much to protect him? Benefit."

Siming smiled: "It doesn't matter. To me, Ye Jinghui is the master of Tianyu Group, so it's not a sacrifice." Then, he took out a contract from his bag, "This is your transfer of all Nanyao's shares to I have signed the contract under my name." Gently put it on the table, "I will inherit Nan Yao according to your will, but please don't interfere in my private affairs."

Xu Wenshan sighed: "I'm doing it for your own good. If you're with someone like Ye Jinghui, you won't have a good life."

"Even so, please don't do anything to hurt him. Also, from today onwards, I won't show any affection for Guan Tianze, so please don't help him secretly."

Xu Wenshan frowned and said, "No matter how you take revenge on Guan Tianze, I still hope that you can save him a way out. After all, I was the one who felt sorry for his parents first."

Siming nodded and said, "Of course."

When I went out with the contract, I happened to meet Xu Qing who came in after buying breakfast.

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Come and have breakfast, I bought yours too."

Siming opened the stool and sat opposite her. The two ate bread facing each other. After a long time, Xu Qing suddenly asked, "Have you talked to your father?"

"Yes." Siming was silent for a moment, "I always wanted to ask you why you refused to inherit Nanyao?"

"I have the same reason as you. He has lied to me for so many years, and I have no way to accept the company he created without any grievances." Xu Qing smiled slightly, "Besides, my interest is not in business. If Nanyao In my hands, maybe I will bankrupt it."

"It's really in his favor that I take over now." Siming smiled lightly, "Unfortunately, my mother will definitely die with regret."

Xu Qing was silent for a moment, drank the milk in the glass in one gulp, and then said softly: "Did you swear in front of your mother?"

"Yes, when she passed away, I swore that I would never inherit Nan Yao in this life, nor would I recognize that father."

Xu Qing was startled, and sighed softly: "You don't have to blame yourself too much, I think mother will understand you, if you don't make sacrifices, there is no way to protect the one you love. If you annex Tianyu according to father's will , Ye Jinghui will hate you even more."

"He already hates me to the bone."

"Don't want to explain?"

"He won't believe it, and there's no need for it. The relationship between me and him is bad enough." Siming smiled slightly, and changed the subject, "What day is it on the lunar calendar?"

"July [-]th."

"Fifteen so soon? The fifteenth of July happens to be the Ghost Festival. In my mother's hometown, this is a festival for the dead. After dinner, I want to go to the cemetery."

"Okay, you must have a lot to say to her. I'll stagger the time with you and go there in the afternoon."

……

It seems that for the sake of the occasion, it actually started to rain lightly.

Siming drove the car to the flower shop. Early in the morning, the flowers were still stained with crystal dew. It seemed that Siming was the first customer in the flower shop. The little flower seller greeted him excitedly: "Mr. What kind of flower? Is it for your girlfriend? We have new roses here, very beautiful!"

"White Chrysanthemum."

"Uh..." The little girl froze her smile and was at a loss, but she heard him calmly say: "It's for my mother, please wrap it for me."

"……Oh."

Until the man left the shop with the white chrysanthemum, the little girl was still in place.

The man was wearing a black suit and didn't have an umbrella. He looked very painful, and stepped into the drizzle, his back was unspeakably lonely and lonely.

Memorial to mother?Is it because his mother just died?

As another customer came to the door, the florist quickly restrained her mind and went happily to pack those brightly colored flowers for them.

But for no reason, I still feel that the cluster of white chrysanthemums wrapped in the early morning, the pure white color, hurts my eyes.

……

The face of the woman on the tombstone is still young and beautiful in the black and white portrait, with a gentle smile.

Siming gently placed the bouquet of white chrysanthemums in front of the grave, and said softly, "Mom, I'm here to see you."

I have been working hard in Dongcheng these years, and because of my busy business, sometimes I can't even present a bouquet of flowers to my mother on Qingming Festival.

Last year when my mother died, I seemed to be busy negotiating with several merchants abroad, and I couldn't make it back.

During the Ching Ming Festival this year, I seemed to be so tired that I went directly to the hospital, and it was Liu Weijia and Yifeng who came to visit the grave instead of me.

After careful calculation, I haven't seen her for more than a year.

When she died, Siming was still in school, working part-time while studying. In addition to paying for his younger brother's tuition, he also paid for her medical expenses. He worked more than ten hours a day, and it was always late at night when he returned home, but she kept sitting. Waiting in front of the window, when Siming came back, he got up and made a delicious supper for Siming, and said with a smile, if it would be too hard, why not go there in the future or something like that.

Later, Siming was really afraid that she would wait for him every night, afraid that she would affect his health, so he lied and said that he had quit that job and would go home on time every night, and only sneaked around after dinner and his mother was asleep Go out to work, and then sneak back in late at night, without anyone noticing.

During those hardest days, the mother and son depended on each other for life. Although they were so tired every day that their bodies were sore, they were in a happy mood.

Siming was even convinced that when he graduated and officially started working, his life would definitely get better, and his mother's illness would also get better.

But later, his mother passed away and left early before he graduated.When my mother died, she was less than 40 years old. She was still young, but she lost her beauty due to illness.

It wasn't until she died that Siming knew that her illness had long since become incurable, but she kept it off and kept it a secret, because she didn't want to make her son sad. During the days when she was sick, she still He secretly ran to the kindergarten to take care of the children, earned a little money, and then saved all the money. When he died, he gave Siming an envelope, which contained a cobbled together hundred dollars.

Siming looked at the pile of worn-out coins, and suddenly burst into tears.He grabbed her hand tightly and said that the son is useless, and there is no way for her mother to live a good life.

But she kept smiling gently, and gently patted Siming's head. She said, I know my son will be very successful in the future. Mom's illness is that no matter how rich you are, there is no cure for it. You don't need to blame yourself.However, you must remember that the most important thing to be a human being is your backbone. At the beginning they drove our mother and son away, and let me take you to wander, and they ignored them all these years. In the future, no matter how they beg you, I advise you , you must not go back to inherit Nanyao, do you understand?

Siming knelt by her bed the whole time, weeping, and said firmly like an oath, I will never inherit Nan Yao, nor will I forgive him, don't worry.

Then she let out a sigh of relief. She said, the biggest regret in my life is that I didn't see my excellent son find a good partner. When you find someone you like in the future, you must come to my mother's grave and tell me. Mom can hear you in the sky, and can bless you and live a good life.

After that, she closed her eyes in peace and never woke up again.

At that time, Siming was still young, and he was not as indifferent as he is now. Si Jie was still in elementary school, lying in his arms all day long and calling him brother. He complained about his brother, and said, no matter what, you are Xu Wenshan's only son, as long as you inherit Nanyao, we will have money, and my mother will not die. It's all your fault!

Siming took the whip and beat him severely, until Si Jie curled up with tears covering his face and promised not to mention this matter again, then he stopped.After applying medicine to his younger brother at night, seeing the criss-crossed welts on his body, Siming was so sad that his fingers trembled violently.

That was how many years ago, and now recalled, the memory is a little blurry.

The only thing that is clear is the shocking whiteness in the hospital, the clusters of blooming white chrysanthemums in front of the grave, the cry of my younger brother, and my own tears.

At that time, I didn't know how to control my tears, and I often couldn't help but shed tears in front of my mother's grave.

Now, after working hard in that shopping mall for many years, I even forgot the feeling of crying.

He always remembers his mother's teaching back then, don't take the initiative to harm others.

But later I realized that even if you don't take the initiative to harm others, others will come to harm you.

Among the people who come to harm you, perhaps, include the person you love the most.

Such as Ye Jinghui.

Siming squatted down lightly, smiling helplessly.

"Mom, I finally inherited the Nanyao Group. I'm sorry. I know that my mother will definitely blame me for being spineless, but this is no longer a matter of spine. It is related to Ye Jinghui's life. I know that my mother will not like him, but I I like him very much, so I have to protect him. I hope you can understand."

Untied the cluster of white chrysanthemums and spread them in front of the grave. The shocking whiteness lined the gentle and smiling face of the young woman. In the light rain, that face was also stained with rain, like tears from a woman.

Siming swore that he would never have any further entanglements with the Xu family.

After all, they were the ones who cruelly insulted their mother and kicked her out with the six-year-old Siming.My mother was not in good health, and had to take Siming to wander around. The days of being penniless, having no place to live, suffering from hunger and cold lasted for several years.Until later, mother adopted the infant Ajie, got a lot of money from the housekeeper who brought Ajie, and finally had a place to live.After that, the mother treated Ajie as her own son, and the three of them depended on each other and lived a difficult life in a foreign country.

At that time, Xu Wenshan never thought that what he drove away was his wife who loved him deeply and his only son.It was not until a long time later that he suddenly realized that he began to look for his wife and children. Unfortunately, when he found her, she had become a dead bone underground, and Siming had grown into a responsible man in his 20s. He worked as a manager of a small department in Dongcheng Group. Business owners.

He thought that Siming didn't know about it, and he was still pretending that it was his mother's old friend who wanted to take care of Siming. He asked Xu Qing to find a chance to get Siming's hair for a paternity test, and when the result came out, he treated Siming even more With a lot of care and love, he insisted that Siming inherit the Nanyao Group on the grounds that he has no children.Siming kept his expression on the surface, but he couldn't help sneering in his heart.He really wanted to ask that person, isn't it too late to say this now, where were you when your mother was seriously ill?Where are you when I have no money to pay tuition?

It's a pity that because the other party is an elder and his biological father, and he has always regretted and suffered, with Siming's politeness and upbringing, he still has no way to tear himself apart from his biological father.

On the surface, he was called Uncle Xu, and he was respectful and alienated from him. This did not mean that he would recognize his father, or even inherit the Nanyao enterprise he founded.

But now, years of persistence have finally come to naught.

As early as when he learned that Liu Hui was Ye Jinghui, Siming had an agreement with Xu Qing.

He still remembered that Xu Qing asked at that time: "Ye Jinghui may not appreciate it, you may have to take care of yourself."

At that time, he said without hesitation: "No matter what, I want to keep him safe."

To this point, I still have no regrets.

Siming knew his father's methods and knew that his ultimate goal was to annex the Tianyu Group, so as early as that time, Siming was ready to lose to his father in order to protect the Ye family's property. Abandon the principles that have been adhered to for many years, and prepare to preserve the person you love deeply.

In fact, those persistence is nothing compared to caring about the person you like.

It's a pity that the person I like can't understand this painstaking effort, and even hates him to the bone.
