salt by salt

The driver drove, Xu Yucheng and I sat in the back, and Xu Yuzhong accompanied Mr. Xu in another car.

Xu Yucheng and Xu Yuzhong often go to the hospital to accompany him. The major operation his uncle just had was relatively successful, and the old man is in a good mood. He also asked me to go with him this time.

The family's focus is on business, and in politics it all depends on the friendship of the old man's generation, and he can speak a few words usually, so he can retain some dignity.However, the situation has been turned upside down in the past few years. Although not standing in a team can protect oneself wisely, it will inevitably be gradually marginalized, so all arrangements are mainly low-key.

I vaguely knew that something happened to the pharmaceutical company of my second aunt not long ago, and was suppressed by the old man's mediation.But these are not things I can worry about. I usually don't live in the main house, and other relatives are very tight-lipped about these things, and the servants just shake their heads when they ask.

I glanced at Xu Yucheng, who was calm, and wanted to ask him about his specific situation, but when I opened my mouth, it turned into a sigh.

It's a mess.

As Lin Ya said, the Xu family's upper and lower branches are intricate, and it can only be seen that one or two are broken on the outside, but in fact, the inside is already rotten.

I really don't know what to do if Xu Yucheng takes over.

"Why are you sighing? Don't worry, Dad is recovering well." He shook my hand lightly, smiled sideways, "It just takes time to recuperate, and I'm sure he'll be fully recovered in a few months."

What about your plan?Is this how Xu Yuzhong is allowed to manage the company?After all, my uncle is just recovering from a serious illness, and his health is not as good as before. After he comes out, he will definitely let go of power slowly. Will he just watch Xu Yuzhong flourish?

As I thought about it, I said with concern, "That's really good news."

"By the way, Dad's attending team was recommended by Yang Chen, and he should be here today."

The air froze for a few seconds, and my smile almost disappeared on the spot: "Of course, I have to thank him. But is it possible that he will always be by his side when we visit?"

"In this matter, he has been more dedicated than our sons. Dad has a good impression of him." Xu Yucheng's tone was light, and he couldn't tell whether it was praise or dissatisfaction. "Of course he will be by the side."

I was choked up for a while, I have been there a few times after my uncle got sick, most of them were perfunctory greetings behind Xu Yucheng.

I heard from the aunt who has been at home for a long time that my uncle doted on my sister very much when he was young, and he wanted to choose a good husband for her.So he has been extremely indifferent to me since he was a child, and I have no feelings for him.

Even so, it was hard for me to believe that the haggard patient on the hospital bed was the unsmiling tall man in my impression.

"……Um."

"Xiao Yan." Xu Yucheng called me after a while, I turned to look at him, met his gentle and calm eyes, "If you can't hold on, don't force yourself, I'm still here."

I suddenly had a sore nose.

Why can't people have only one side?This kind of hate is also hateful, and love is also so that there is no need to look back.But among the ten thousand kinds of bad things, there is also a kind of tenderness, which makes people feel weak, and I can't help but think of the time when he treated me well.

"I know." I whispered, "I know, Brother Yucheng."

The re-meeting with Yang Chen was not very embarrassing, mainly because there were so many people and so many things, it was impossible for us to have a conversation.

I stood behind Mr. Xu, met his eyes for a second and then looked away.Uncle is really much better now, although he still looks weak, but at least he can sit up and chat with the old man.

But it's not my turn to listen to these words, and I'm very sensible in this regard.Xu Yuzhong is the eldest grandson, and he sat calmly beside the old man. When Xu Yucheng got up to leave, he was stopped by old man Xu: "The second child also stay, talk to your father."

Xu Yucheng nodded and sat down with a peaceful expression.Xu Yuzhong didn't say anything, but stopped me before I left the room: "Xiao Yan."

My expression froze: "Brother Yu Zhong, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Yang has worked really hard during this time. Grandpa also praised him before. I think Dad's health is thanks to his help, so apart from Grandpa's share, I prepared a personal gift for him when I came."

He was smiling, maybe in the eyes of others he was considerate, but in my eyes he was only calculating: "He is a very busy person who can't be seen usually, you see I can't get out now, you two have a good relationship, why don't you take it now?" give him."

I was holding the doorknob, and before I looked at Xu Yucheng for help, Mr. Xu coughed and said in a mild tone: "That's fine, you young people have something to say."

It is obvious that the driver can be sent directly to Yang Chen's residence... But the words have come to an end, I can only answer with my head down: "I understand."

The door closed, and Grandpa's guard stood guard at the door. I smiled and nodded to him.He kept his back straight in the corridor, and collapsed at the corner he couldn't see.

I took a few deep breaths, and said that it was me who broke up completely, and it was me who reconnected with a shy face in the end.

Dignity has long been crushed into the dust, but what needs to be done still needs to be done.I bit the bullet and found out Yang Chen's WeChat account. Fortunately, I didn't delete the contact at that time, so I typed out some words and sent it:

"Brother Yuzhong asked me to deliver the gift to you. I would like to ask if you are still in the hospital? If so, I will ask the driver to take it there, or I will let him deliver it directly to your home. Thank you very much for your concern for uncle these days. "

This news is particularly glaring in the empty conversation log.I waited anxiously for a moment, and finally waited for Yang Chen's reply:

"I'm in the garden below, what can't I bring here?"

Even though I had guessed that he would ask so, I smiled wryly.

Gifts are just objects, it doesn't matter who gives them, he just let me go to humiliate me severely.With a movement of his fingers, the words he sent out were polite and distant:

"Okay, I'll come here now, wait a minute."

It took me a long time to find him.

The south building where the uncle's ward is located belongs to the special arrangement area, so the neighborhood is very quiet. Occasionally, patients walk slowly with the support on the garden lawn.Yang Chen was sitting on the bench, and the middle-aged woman next to him was pushing a little girl in a wheelchair.

The girl was very young, so he folded a windmill and handed it to her, and she cherished it in her palm.When the sun fell, Yang Chen's handsome profile was almost shining.

A diamond that shines wherever you are...

The little girl was holding the windmill in her hand. She looked peaceful, and her cheeks flushed slightly when she spoke: "Brother, will you come tomorrow?"

Yang Chen patted her head, and said lazily, "I won't come tomorrow. But it's okay, you can work in your brother's company when you grow up."

"Then brother, please give me a business card. I will definitely recover."

Yang Chen searched his pockets but couldn't find the business card, the little girl turned to tell the woman behind her: "Auntie, go and get my phone."

"Don't bother, we'll meet you when you have the chance." I walked to Yang Chen's side, lowered my eyes and didn't know how to greet him.When he saw me, he scratched the girl's nose, "Okay, let's go to the sun, the person my brother is waiting for is here."

The little girl reluctantly turned her head several times, Yang Chen casually smiled back, then turned to me and said, "It's pretty quick."

"Is there anything you want to say to me?"

I'm always a little underwhelmed when facing him, especially when something like that happened before.To say that Yang Chen can completely let go of my life, I, Xu Junyan, would be the first to not believe it.

He looked up at me: "What are you afraid of?"

I didn't answer, he continued: "Have you had a good time with your little love these few days?"

"You don't want to do anything to him."

"You don't need me." Yang Chen suppressed his smile, with a mocking look on his face, "If you really care so much, why don't you spend money to support him?"

"There are some things that you can't get with money." I pursed my lips, and suddenly felt that his face was dazzlingly beautiful, "If there is nothing else, I will leave, and I will ask the driver to deliver the things to your home."

He raised his eyebrows, and tapped the back of the chair with his slender fingers: "Come and sit down, and bask in the sun with me."

I really couldn't understand his uncertain mood, so I couldn't bear it anymore and replied: "Master Yang, if you have something to say, can you please speak directly? I still have things to do."

"What can you do? Work for the Xu family as a cow and a horse? Doesn't the company still belong to your brother when you hold exhibitions all day long?" He said coldly. You? I did it, how about you?"

I was speechless, Yang Chen stretched out his hand and grabbed my wrist, and pulled me closer to him, his tone became more and more aggressive: "You have no right to accuse me. You want to break up, ask me not to retaliate, ask me to continue to cooperate, I gave them all. It was you who gave me such a big shame, now who is showing a wronged look?"

His words were cruel, but I calmed down and even laughed: "Yes, I'm shameless, I'll break the contract first, I'm sorry for you, I admit it. But this time I didn't take the initiative to contact you, it was Brother Yuzhong I don’t want to do that either. But even if I contact you with a gun to my head, I won’t go one step further, okay?”

He and I looked at each other for a few seconds, and I laughed angrily: "Xu Junyan, I completely understood today, you have no heart at all."

"You should have understood." I lowered my eyes, "If I had the heart, how could I stay by your side for so long?"

"What happened to you by my side? Did I force you to kill or set fire? Why did I treat you so harshly?" Yang Chen tightened his fingers, and I could see that he was really angry. Is that Song Cheng bad?"

Sure enough, he... is still brooding over the fact that I finally chose Song Cheng between Song Cheng and him.

"Yang Chen, you can't compare to him." I shook my head, "The family background, appearance and ability are all perfect, and the personality is not particularly bad."

As Yang Ke said, Yang Chen is actually close to perfection, and it is impossible for me to find a better person.

"You often call me stupid and ask me what I want to do for Xu Yucheng. In fact, I don't want to do anything. He has [-] points. If you give me [-]%, I am grateful. You are the same. If you need me one day, I will do it too." Go through fire and water for you."

He paused, relaxed his fingers, and asked with a frown, "Giving you one percent will make you give everything? Are you so cheap? Will you do it if he puts you in jail?"

"of course."

Not to mention going to jail, let me die as well.

I continued: "So it's not that you're bad, but that I'm too cheap to be good enough for you. Let it go, let's let this part of the reformation pass, so that it won't become a stain on your life, isn't it?"

Song Cheng.He may only have ten points, and he gave me all ten points. I can't repay this affection.

Only... to live for him.
