Vito snarled like an enraged little beast: "Get away from my dad, you pervert!"

I was stunned for a moment, a warm current flooded my whole body, I squatted on the ground and hugged the little Vito tightly, his existence gave me great courage.I raised my eyes and watched Yan Minglang's movements warily.

Yan Minglang also seemed to be startled by Vito's sudden roar, and soon he frowned, but he didn't make any further movements except his face became more and more gloomy.

Fortunately, he is a decent adult who knows how to measure, and he will never care about children.

He stood up slowly and stretched out his hand towards me, as if he wanted to give me a hand.

I turned a blind eye and stood up holding Vito.

"Mr. Yan, please go back." I tried my best to show the last bit of demeanor left, nodded at him with lowered eyes, turned and left.

But he persevered in catching up.If I hadn't held Vito, I would probably have punched him.

"open!"

I tried my best to break free from his tight grip on my hand. On this road where people would come and go at any time, he was like a rascal, unmoved at all.

I couldn't bear it and shouted: "Yan Minglang!"

"What happened, Mr. Kent?"

A sudden voice cut in, I stopped and turned around to see that it was Jackson.

He looked at me with a smile, turned his gaze to the hand holding my arm, and then looked at Yan Minglang beside him.

"Mr. Yan, what are you doing?" Accompanying Xue Qing for many years, even though Jackson was smiling, it was impossible to ignore the oppressive feeling emanating from him.

Yan Minglang narrowed his eyes slightly and let go of his hand. He glanced at me sideways, then turned to Jackson: "Mr. White, long time no see, I'm fine."

Jackson smiled and said, "You are safe. Mr. Yan and Mr. Kent met?"

Before Yan Minglang could speak, Vito said loudly: "Mr. White! This man bullied my father!" Having met Jackson several times, Vito saw him as if he saw a savior.

Jackson patted his head: "I think you must have misunderstood. With Mr. Yan's status and upbringing, he would never do such a thing."

Vito pursed his lips and stared at Yan Minglang.

Jackson turned to Yan Minglang: "Mr. Yan, I don't know what relationship you had with Mr. Kent before, but he is now Mr. Xue's guest. Obviously, Mr. Kent doesn't seem to want to have too much contact with you now. Look, you Should we leave?"

In Yan Minglang's dark pupils, his eyes were as sharp as a knife. He didn't say a word, but stared at Jackson with cold eyes.

Jackson's expression changed slightly.

I know that both the Yan family and Xue Qing are important people, it's good to live in peace, if they turn against each other, it will be of no benefit to anyone.I didn't want to embarrass Xue Qing because of my own affairs, so I took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Mr. Yan, Jackson and I have something to talk about at work. If there is anything, let's talk next time."

These words gave Yan Minglang a step down.He is not someone who doesn't know how to weigh the pros and cons. He glanced at me and took out his cell phone from his pocket.

"your number."

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and report my mobile phone number.

He saved the number, then put the phone in his pocket, raised his chin slightly and nodded to Jackson, then turned and left.

Vito put his arms around my neck and asked me, "Daddy, how can you give your phone number to that pervert?"

I softened my expression and tapped the tip of his nose: "Pervert? Where did you learn this kind of vocabulary? Don't be like this in the future, you know?"

He leaned on my shoulder and nodded: "I'm just worried about you being bullied, Dad."

"I know, Dad didn't blame you." I kissed his forehead.

Jackson came to pick me up to meet Xue Qing. I packed up my laptop, because Xue Qing made a temporary decision and I had no place to put Vito, so I took him with me.

Vito is well-behaved enough, I am not worried that he will cause trouble, but I am afraid that Xue Qing will not like children.

When Xue Qing was young, he was hit by a bullet in a gang fight. Although he saved his organs after treatment, he lost his fertility.

But Jackson told me it didn't matter.Although Xue Qing doesn't necessarily like children very much, he doesn't dislike them either. He has even subsidized many orphanages over the years to atone for the sins he committed when he was young.

Unexpectedly, Xue Qing saw Vito and showed great interest in him.

He said: "This child is very wealthy, and he must be an outstanding person in the future."

I heard that the elderly in country Z are superstitious, especially those who have been in gangs. They have done many things against their conscience when they were young. When they are old, they are especially fond of gods and Buddhas, and they believe in fate.

People say that looks come from the heart. Xue Qing was a very powerful man who was decisive when he was young, and his appearance was also fierce. Strength is something that cannot be concealed.

Vito is sensitive but doesn't seem to be afraid of him.

Xue Qing said: "It's rare that this kid is not afraid of me. What's his name?"

"Vito," I said.

He nodded: "The name Vito comes from Latin, which means 'life giving'. It is the opposite of what I have done in my life. It is no wonder he is not afraid of me if I rely on it. Come on, child, let grandpa hug you. "

Vito looked at me, I nodded to him, and he threw himself into Xue Qing's arms without hesitation.

The moment the 90-year-old man hugged him was like hugging his own God.He closed his eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "I can feel that you can cleanse my soul, Vito, calling 'Grandpa'."

"Grandpa." Vito said obediently.

Xue Qing laughed loudly, and took a box from the small-leaf red sandalwood shelf behind him. When he opened it, there was a Jade Bodhisattva inside.

"This thing has been stored for a long time, and it is a perfect gift for you as a meeting gift."

I have no research on jade wares, but I know they must be very valuable without looking at them, so I quickly declined, but Xue Qing pressed my hand.

"Shaw, this is for the child, it has nothing to do with you," he said, and put the Jade Bodhisattva around Vito's neck, "Son, we are destined, let's wear this thing, as the old saying in country Z says, 'people raise Jade for three years, Jade raises people for a lifetime', which is good for you."

Although Vito was clever, he was a child after all. He had no idea of ​​the value of this kind of jade. He only thought it was beautiful, but he didn't dare to accept it casually. He looked at me.

I just nodded to him.

The meeting with Xue Qing lasted the whole afternoon. Before leaving, he told me that if I encountered any troubles in country Z, I would tell Jackson directly, and someone would help me solve them.

He didn't say it too directly, but I knew Jackson must have told him what happened today.

I thanked him and left Xue's house.

Because Xue Qing had an appointment with someone, he didn't invite us for dinner. When passing by KFC on the way, Vito asked me if I could have a meal.

When he is growing up, I rarely take him to eat this kind of junk food, but I should make an exception once in a while.I nodded and asked the driver to stop the car, since it was not far from my residence anyway, so I asked him to go back first.

I ordered a children's set menu for Vito, asked for a cup of hot coffee, and sat down at a table for two by the window.

Vito ate quietly except for feeding me a chicken nugget or a few chips from time to time.I let him eat slowly, turned on the computer, and sorted out the materials recorded today.

I was typing on the keyboard, and my feet were scratched by something. I turned my head and took a look. It was the cleaner in the store who was mopping the floor, and the mop accidentally touched me.

"Sorry, sir."

The tall man bent over to apologize, and raised his eyes slightly to look at me.

"fine……"

I met his eyes and froze for a moment.

It's Lu Chen.

He didn't recognize me, and lowered his eyes absent-mindedly, and continued to drag the floor.My eyes followed him all the way, and I was shocked and couldn't describe my current mood.

I don't understand why he fell down to the point of working as a cleaner in a fast food restaurant. Although I hated him to the bone before, but after six years, seeing him like this, I don't feel very happy. I just feel that evil will be rewarded with evil. , people can't do a little bad thing.

When I got home, I took out my phone which was set to silent, and a number I didn't save called me a lot.I can't forget that number even after six years.I sighed and pulled it into the blacklist.

After that day, I seldom even took Vito to the garden downstairs. Sometimes someone knocked on the door for no reason. Abnormal" behavior.

It lasted like this for a week, Xue Qing called me personally and invited me to the dinner party he hosted.

Jackson specially sent me and Vito a black handmade tuxedo and Oxford shoes, and even a white shirt and bow tie were carefully prepared. It was the first time that Vito was dressed so formally, with his hair combed back, he really looked like a little gentleman.

On the way, Jackson told me that this dinner was held to welcome some bigwigs from the New York business circle, and asked Vito and I to sit casually and show Vito an eye-opener.

"It's just that Mr. Yan will also go, but don't worry, I will always be with you." He said.

I nodded dismissively.In fact, I'm not worried. On such an occasion, Yan Minglang would never do anything demeaning.
