The two were silent all the way. After the driver drove for half an hour, Sheng Jue's car drove into the first gate of Ji Ding's house in the south of the city. The car began to climb up from the passage at the bottom of the mountain. I will feel a little motion sickness, feeling what kind of taste Ji Ding has.

The car finally drove into the yard, and a villa with white as the main color came into view. The tulip garden in front of the house was still blooming vigorously without knowing what happened to the owner, and the fountain in the center was still drawing beautiful arcs in the air. .

Ji Huaiyu walked through the path in the middle of the tulip flower garden, and the familiar fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose.After all, he has lived here for six years since he was 12 years old, and he didn't expect this to be like this when he came back this time.

The servants at home opened the door for them, and the two curved staircases and the crystal chandelier above their heads were still the same. Ji Huaiyu seemed to still clearly remember that Ji Ding was standing here six years ago, looking at him with a smile on his face. He said, "Son, welcome home."

Following Sheng Jue up the stairs, this familiar feeling made Ji Huaiyu feel very uncomfortable, and even felt itchy all over his body like an allergy.

So he went upstairs, walked directly to the balcony, lay on the sofa above, only stuck his head out, revealing a long white and slender neck, looked upside down at Sheng Jue and said: "I don't want anything from them, You have full power to deal with it, and I have no problem throwing it away."

Fei Qing saw that he immediately took out his mobile phone to play games, and looked at Sheng Jue worriedly, and then saw the expression of their boss Sheng who was used to it, she felt that Sheng Jue had always been particularly patient with the new chairman .

While playing games, Ji Huaiyu listened to Sheng Jue leading people in and out to sort things out.

Sheng Jue has always been straightforward in handling affairs, and quickly classified the things that will be buried with the coffin, the things that will be sent back to Ji Ding's ancestral house, and the things that will be donated after Ji Ding's death for charity sale.

Then Sheng Jue walked towards him, directly took away the mobile phone he held in his hand, and said coldly: "Go open the safe."

"Hey, it's the critical moment." Ji Huaiyu stretched out his hand to snatch it, grabbed his wrist, pulled it back twice, and without moving, he could only resign himself to his fate and say, "You overestimate me, you think my dad will Can you tell me the password?"

"The password has been unlocked, and there is another layer of fingerprint lock. Apart from himself, he only recorded the fingerprints of your elder brother and you."

Sheng Jue explained, but his eyes fell on the hand holding his white shirt cuff.

Ji Huaiyu quickly withdrew his hand with a smile, and a carp stood up from the sofa, took the phone back from Sheng Jue's hand, and went into his father's study.

Sheng Jue specially asked everyone to stay outside, including himself, who just stood at the door of the study and watched from a distance, and only let Ji Huaiyu approach the safe by himself.

Ji Huaiyu twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking that it was not a bomb, so it was necessary to avoid suspicion. He casually stuck his thumb on the fingerprint lock, and the safe was opened.

In addition to his father's seal, there are some important documents, which are probably all taken for cancellation.Ji Huaiyu dug out these things and threw them on the floor casually.

Then he saw an envelope, and after opening it nonchalantly, Ji Huaiyu was stunned for a moment.

It was a photo of him not long after he was born, like a white ball, plump and soft, with few hairs, his eyes were bluer and more transparent than now, staring at the camera curiously.

Looking back, there are photos of him when he was three and five years old. You can see that he grew taller little by little, and his chin gradually began to point.I don't know if his mother is too lazy to take him to get a haircut or it's a bad idea. When he was a child, he always had long hair, pinned softly behind his ears, like a well-behaved little girl.

Then he went to elementary school, wearing a small bow tie and carrying a schoolbag, standing among a group of platinum-haired children, comparing each other stupidly.

He flipped back until he found the photo of the fifth grade graduation. At that time, his stature had already begun to shrink, and his outline began to become clear. Holding the graduation certificate, he pulled out a smirk impatiently.

Boys at that age like to pretend to be cool. Ji Huaiyu stared blankly at this photo, and still remembers his mother yelling at him behind the camera: "Laugh, the camera is going to run out of battery, why don't you take good pictures today? The old lady just put your head in the toilet and flushed it all night."

Then his classmates started booing wildly beside him, and he could only smile at the camera with a smile uglier than crying.

Holding the photo, Ji Huaiyu lowered his head and smiled, as if after a long time, he was smiling for the woman behind the camera who bared her teeth and claws.

He carefully put away these photos, it seems that these were sent to Ji Ding by his mother before, why Ji Ding still pretends to lock them in the cabinet.

Ji Huaiyu continued flipping through with a mocking smile, and suddenly found a yellowed file, opened the title page, and on the first line were Sheng Jue's name, date of birth, and other information, as well as a one-inch piece of his when he was a child. The photo should be Sheng Jue's adoption certificate.

Ji Huaiyu poked at his photo maliciously, thinking why this person had a paralyzed face since he was a child.

Then he turned a page back, looked at it, his pupils began to dilate slightly, and his heartbeat could be clearly heard in the silent study room.

Ji Huaiyu glanced at the door, Sheng Jue was on the phone and didn't notice this side.So he quickly walked to the shredder with the document, threw it in, and pressed the shredding button. After a few seconds of roaring, the document turned into a pile of paper scraps.

Sheng Jue rushed over in two or three steps, looked at the paper foam inside and asked him, "What did you break?"

"It's nothing important," Ji Huaiyu tapped the shredder with his index finger with a calm expression, "It's just a few pieces of waste paper."

Sheng Jue obviously wouldn't believe him.

"Can you stop me from not being able to see you, and you messing around here?" Sheng Jue asked through gritted teeth.

"Doesn't this safe belong to me now, so I can break whatever I want." Ji Huaiyu replied with a very innocent smile.

Seeing Sheng Jue holding his breath in his chest, he inexplicably felt a little refreshed.

"You can go back if you don't want to stay here."

Sheng Jue's icy voice reached his ears, and Ji Huaiyu's smile deepened. He missed his shoulder in front of the shredder and walked towards the door. When rubbing shoulders with him, he said softly: "Thank you, Mr. Sheng Grace."

After returning to his home, Ji Huaiyu felt much more relaxed. Since he reached his full age, he has moved out of his house in the south of the city, and he will not go back for nothing special.

The last time I saw Ji Ding and Ji Chengjin was probably five months ago.

The smart ceiling lights in night mode followed his footsteps, one by one, and then dimmed one by one. In the large and quiet house, it seemed like a ray of light followed his figure.

He lay down on the bed exhausted, and put the blanket over his head, trying to get a good night's sleep and temporarily escape from this out-of-control situation.

An hour later, Ji Huaiyu tore off the blanket abruptly, staring at the ceiling, he actually suffered from insomnia.

He simply got up from the bed, went straight to the balcony with bare feet, unbuttoned his pajamas, plunged into the swimming pool and swam a few times.

Lying on the edge of the swimming pool, Ji Huaiyu can see the neon lights in the city center at night.The text on the iconic TV tower in the distance keeps turning in circles, eleven circles in one minute, and the viaduct is still bustling with traffic at this time, with 1 cars passing in one minute.

He often did this when he was insomnia, and then he sank his body, buried his head under the water, and everything returned to absolute calm, including the messy thoughts in his head.Until the acrid breath filled the entire lung duct, and then there was a squeezing feeling, as if someone had filled his chest with cement, and his consciousness began to blur.

It's time to come out, he told himself, but for some reason today, he didn't want to move, and for a moment he even had the idea that it would be good to be like this forever.

A notification that the mobile phone received a message came through the water, breaking his absolute silence, then the second, and the third, the intervals became shorter and shorter, more and more urgent.

Ji Huaiyu suddenly raised his head from the water, breathing in the air greedily and violently. After he calmed down, he shook his hair twice, and picked up the mobile phone placed on the edge of the pool.

The 7 messages were all from Sheng Jue.

He clicked on it and looked: [The funeral will be held in the garden behind the old house at 9:00 am the day after tomorrow, and I will pick you up at 7:00 on time. 】

[The plain black suit and tie for the funeral will be delivered to your home at 10:00 tomorrow. 】
