[Rat cat] Mirror City

I don't know if anyone has experienced the feeling of being on the road all the time.

In your sleep, you can feel the shaking of moving on the vehicle; you are disturbed by the shaking, and you open your eyes in a daze countless times, and you can’t tell whether you rested for a few seconds, a few minutes, or is a few hours.All I know is that when I turned my head to the side, there was a little light from the darkness outside the window.

What made Song Qianxun feel uncomfortable was not only the interruption of his sleep, but also because no matter when, no matter when, as long as he opened his eyes and looked at his side, Pang Yan would always be like that, with his eyes open. , looked up, did not move the slightest bit, and his expression never changed.

Song Qianxun could feel Pang Yan's resistance to the Pang family and Mr. Pang from his actions.That's not just rejection, it has completely reached the level of being a stranger.

He got out of the car in a daze, and got into another car.During the whole process, Song Qianxun only felt that his body was no longer his own.Only then did Song Qianxun understand how quickly Pang Yan said "go back to Pang's house immediately".

They caught up with Pang Xi's car, and Song Qianxun also had a brief meeting with Pang Xi.Pang Xi just glanced at Song Qianxun indifferently after getting out of the car, and turned his face away noncommittally to signal Pang Yan and Song Qianxun to follow him.They didn't even have a word of conversation in the middle.

Song Qianxun knew that Pang Xi didn't disdain him from the bottom of his heart, but just didn't care.Or in other words, it is not taken into consideration and valued, because he has not yet seen his own value in his eyes.

It was as if on the way to Pang's house, Pang Xi was always taking the initiative to distance himself from them, only reminding them to keep up when necessary.

And this distance was exactly what Pang Yan needed at this time.

This discomfort never stopped, even until Song Qianxun arrived at Pang's house, the place that Pang Yan avoided.Sitting in the back seat, the moment he saw the door of Pang's family, he felt more and more uncomfortable.

At both ends of the gate of Pang's house, there are two towering trees.The thick trunks of the big tree stood upright on both sides of the gate, and the twisted branches intertwined and stretched out, crawled along the two ends of the gate towards the center, and finally intertwined.Lush green leaves hung down, and the dark green halo set off the blue-gray gate. The entire Pang family was shrouded in shadow from the entrance.

Just from this door, Song Qianxun has already seen this home.

The Pang family has an unwritten rule that the entrance to the garage is different from the gate.The car is first parked at the gate, and the people in the car must get out of the car and walk in by themselves.

"I have to go in." After the car stopped, Pang Yan reminded Song Qianxun to get out of the car, and took a look at Pang Xi who had been waiting outside the door.

It was Song Qianxun who got out of the car at the fastest speed, but Pang Xi still noticed his actions, and Pang Xi frowned displeasedly, "Mr. rules."

"Uncle Xi, since you're back, you should go back to Grandpa. Grandpa needs your help even more." Before Song Qianxun could answer, Pang Yan stood in front of Song Qianxun and looked directly at Pang Xi, " I will bring Qianxun into Pang's house, Qianxun is my guest, he doesn't understand the rules of Pang's house, but I still understand."

The Second Young Master has been out for a while, and indeed a lot has changed.Pang Yan's words were full of needles, and he was tit for tat against himself. Pang Xi cast him a look of approval or displeasure, looked at the two of them probing for a while, and then said, "That's right, how could the second young master forget his family?" Then Pang Xi will go back to the master, the second young master and Mr. Song please do what you want."

Pang Xi separated from the two at the intersection, deviated from the main road, and walked towards the side door.Pang Yan and Song Qianxun stood under the shade of the tree. Pang Xi's back, the shade cast by the big tree, and the gloomy aura emanating from the iron gate behind made Song Qianxun shiver.

"Is it okay for you to talk to him like this?" Song Qianxun asked, he could see Pang Xi's status in this family, he was completely a powerful elder.

Pang Yan withdrew his gaze, and the corners of his mouth curled up mockingly, "I am also from the Pang family. Whether it is good to be here is one thing, but whether to do it or not is another matter. There is no need to entangle him."

Pang Yan looked at his home, how ironic, no matter how long he left and returned to this place again, the Pang family will always be the same, even if it is a grass, a stone and a tree, they are all arranged according to the rules, hmph, The rules of the Pang family have not changed for decades.

"It's almost time for dinner." Pang Yan glanced at his watch and told Song Qianxun, "You can rest in my room, don't leave the room casually, I will come to you. At Pang's house, don't mess around." run."

"I understand." Hearing the words, Song Qianxun looked at the Pang family's main house, but that one glance gave him a feeling of "heavy palace gates". Even if Pang Yan gave him the right to travel freely with the Pang family, he I will not take the initiative to walk around here.

Pang Yan took Song Qianxun to his room.His room was still tidy, just as he had left it.Pang Yan and Song Qianxun's luggage was sent back early.

Without Pang Yan's words, Song Qianxun took the initiative to walk in.He put the wooden box containing the white jade on the desk, turned to Pang Yan and said, "I won't go out. Go do your business."

Pang Yan looked at Song Qianxun for a while, then reached out and closed the door.Song Qianxun stared at them for a while, and finally went to the desk to study the white jade that Pang Yan had brought back with a huge sum of money.

Without Song Qianxun following behind him, Pang Yan walked towards the depths of the Pang family step by step.Mr. Pang's room is in the deepest part of Pang's house.

Walking to the door of old man Pang's room, Pang Yan stopped and stood in front of old man Pang's room, hesitating.

"Come in." Pang Yan hadn't knocked on the door when he heard old man Pang's cold voice coming from the room.Even if he didn't knock on the door, Mr. Pang would still be able to discover his existence.

Pushing open the door of the room, the first thing Pang Yan saw was Mr. Pang sitting in a wheelchair.Pang Xi changed his clothes early and stood aside.Even if he lost his leg and sat in a wheelchair, Mr. Pang's momentum remained undiminished.

"Since you're here, what's the point of standing outside and waiting!" Old Man Pang turned around while controlling the wheelchair, and looked at Pang Yan unhappy, "I've been away for so long, and I haven't made any progress!"

"Where I want to grow, you don't have to worry about it." Pang Yan walked in with his head held high, not to be outdone.Pang Yan walked straight towards Mr. Pang, and Pang Xi stood in between them at the right time.

"Uncle Xi, what do you mean?" Pang Yan stopped and stared at Pang Xi.

Pang Xi blocked Pang Yan with one arm, "Second Young Master, watch your tone."

"It's okay, Pang Xi." Old Master Pang said, his voice sounded very relaxed, without the slightest bit of displeasure, "The Pang family, if you don't have this momentum, you're too incompetent. You step back."

Hearing this, Pang Xi stepped aside, allowing Pang Yan to continue to move forward.Pang Yan walked up to Mr. Pang, and looked down at him with an absolute height advantage.It was a perspective he hadn't tried in all these years.

However, this looking down didn't last long. Pang Yan opened the distance between the two of them, silently waiting for Mr. Pang to speak.He called himself back and asked himself to come to him again. He must have something to say to him.

"You've done a good job during this time." Mr. Pang showed a rare expression of appreciation to Pang Yan for many years.There are many cousins ​​in the Pang family, but Mr. Pang's direct grandsons are only Pang Yi and Pang Yan, but there is no difference.

In the Pang family, only success is worthy of being valued.Only when success is seen in his eyes will he recognize it.In the eyes of Mr. Pang, this group of descendants has little ability.If we want to talk about the special cases in it, they are Pang Yi and Pang Yan.

Among all the younger generations, the only one that Mr. Pang admits to having some ability is Pang Yi.Pang Yi has a smart mind and means, and he has helped a lot in the company.

As for Pang Yan, Mr. Pang only thought he was the most unexpected one.Pang Yan's ability in Pang's family is not very high, he is better than others, but far inferior to Pang Yi's ability.Therefore, his retirement is imminent, and Pang Yi's voice among the successors of the Pang family is even louder.

But if you give up at this place, you are not worthy of being a member of his Pang family.What satisfied Mr. Pang was that Pang Yan did not give up.Just knowing that Pang Yan was testing the waters in the antique world alone, Mr. Pang didn't know how to evaluate his grandson.

To be honest, Mr. Pang was very disappointed with Pang Yan at first.In the eyes of old man Pang, such behavior was extremely reckless and extremely stupid. At that time, he was completely waiting for Pang Yan's failure.

However, Pang Yan was beyond his expectation.It was his first time to get involved in the world of antiques, and he was like a fish in water.Mr. Pang sent someone to observe Pang Yan for a long time. In the past few months, Pang Yan's business has not failed.

It was at this time that Pang Yan really caught Mr. Pang's attention.After Mr. Pang noticed him, he naturally also noticed that the real reason why Pang Yan was able to succeed in the antique world was Song Qianxun.

"The person who helped you a lot, Song Qianxun, also came with you this time, right?" Although it was a question, Mr. Pang's tone was firm.

Seeing that Pang Yan didn't answer, Pang Xi told Old Master Pang instead of him, "I've invited you too. Song Qianxun is working in the second young master's room right now. Do you need to see him, Master?"

Pang Xi was about to turn around, but Pang Yan stopped him. If Pang Xi made another move, he didn't know what he would do, "He is mine, you can't touch him."

Pang Xi smiled disdainfully, not paying attention to Pang Yan's words at all.Seeing that the two were about to clash, old man Pang waved his hand, "Pang Xi, don't worry. Song Qianxun is not one of us after all."

As he said that, Mr. Pang locked Pang Yan completely with his calculating and sneering eyes, "In this case, some of my friends are interested in antiques. Let's go meet them together."

"You...!" Mr. Pang's words disrupted all of Pang Yan's self-confidence. He never expected that Mr. Pang would set his mind on them so quickly.

Hmph, selling what he finally got to a business partner is nothing more than using him as a victim in exchange for more business benefits.This is the usual method of Mr. Pang. Before coming here, he had expected this possibility, so no matter how angry he was, he could bear it.

But Song Qianxun was the bottom line this time.Old Man Pang knew that it was impossible for him to hand over Song Qianxun, so he chose to use this method to let Song Qianxun appear as "Pang Family". After that, if Old Man Pang wanted to do something to Song Qianxun, Pang Yan might just Nothing can be done.

Just as he was about to blurt out countless rebuttals in his heart, Pang Yi gave him a warning look, "Pang Yan, you should know that I can't touch your business in the antique industry." There are still ways to cut off Pang Yan's great prospects through various means.

Even if he was full of anger, Pang Yan could only bear it.He has developed in the antique world, but his current ability is still not enough, and he is still in the palm of his grandfather.

"I see." No matter how resentful he was to this person, Pang Yan could only agree to him through gritted teeth.

Obviously, that's why Mr. Pang called him back.Now that the conversation has been finished, there is no need for him to stay in this place.

Pang Yan turned around and wanted to leave, but just as his hand was on the doorknob, Mr. Pang stopped him again, "It's almost time for dinner, you can go meet some friends with me first. As for Song Qianxun , then you can call him again.”

Mr. Pang's words were never in doubt.In the past, being able to be brought to meet his friends by grandpa was something to be proud of in the Pang family, but now, Pang Yan only felt angry, but he had to obey.

Pang Yan originally thought that this meeting would not be delayed for too long, but he never expected that the time passed by every minute and every second, and the people Mr. Pang took him to meet one after another, as if there was no end, watching the night gradually sink in. down.

When Song Qianxun came back to his senses, he felt dizzy, didn't have enough rest, and had to concentrate for a long time. Now he saw double images of everything.

Shaking his head vigorously to get rid of the dizzy feeling in his head, Song Qianxun noticed that the sky outside had completely darkened.In Pang Yan's room, only his own desk was lit, and the whole scene was indescribably weird.

Song Qianxun looked down at the table, on which he spread a layer of soft white cloth to avoid scratching the white jade.On the white cloth, the white jade that was originally connected as one was divided into two parts, one on the left and the other on the two sides of the white cloth.

"Sure enough, Zhan Zhao has already taken the contents away." At the auction, Bai Yutang inexplicably gave up the competition with Pang Yan at the last moment, which was already very strange.Meeting them at the entrance of the lounge, and seeing the expressions of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, Song Qianxun already sensed that something was wrong.Unexpectedly, things really turned out as he thought.

The tiredness made Song Qianxun feel tingling pains in his temples.Picking up one of them casually, Song Qianxun carefully observed the mechanism that fits the two pieces of jade together, "Even if you know there is such a mechanism, it is not easy to find the correct method. Zhan Zhao is really a genius." , how did he know?"

Song Qianxun leaned back, closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh of relief leaning against the back of the chair.Now he didn't want to move at all, he didn't even want to go to dinner, but if he didn't go, it would definitely make things difficult for Pang Yan.

In the dimness, Song Qianxun seemed to hear something.Just as he was trying to concentrate, he heard a voice with a smile in his ear, "These are the results of Pang Yan's battle? Sure enough, I don't understand at all."

Of course you don't understand.Without so much experience, who can understand it.Song Qianxun answered in his mind in a daze, how could he ask such a stupid question?

Stupid question...question...someone is asking a question...someone is asking a question in one's own ear!

Song Qianxun suddenly opened his eyes wide, and there was a person standing behind him, and that person was holding a piece of white jade in his hand.

Song Qianxun only felt his brain go crazy, he rushed over to snatch the white jade from the opponent's hand, and blocked his sight with his body, then looked at this person warily.

"Heh..." The other party was obviously amused by Song Qianxun's actions, "At first I thought Pang Yan was looking for an old man, but I didn't expect that he was still a young man."

"..." Ignoring the other party's teasing words, Song Qianxun just glanced at him and knew that besides Pang Yi, he couldn't think of anyone else, "Are you Pang Yi?"

If this person is really Pang Yi, Song Qianxun can understand why Pang Yan can't restrain his jealousy every time Pang Yi is involved.

Pang Yi is a person who is naturally suitable to be a leader. Although Song Qianxun feels careless and casual about him now, Song Qianxun can sense the arrogance that intimidates others. No wonder, Pang Yi is given the highest expectations.

Pang Yi nodded, "You know me? It seems that Pang Yan mentioned me a lot in front of you."

"On the contrary, he will mention you less if he can." Song Qianxun replied.

Pang Yi didn't speak any more, and the two of them were relatively speechless for a moment.Silence will only make people pay more attention to the surrounding situation, and Song Qianxun has to care about the two pieces of white jade behind him.

How could it be seen by others.How could he casually enter other people's rooms?

Thinking of this, Song Qianxun frowned and looked at Pang Yi dissatisfied.

Perhaps because he knew that he was in the wrong, Pang Yi quickly raised his hands and took a step back, "I just heard that Pang Yan brought the legendary Mr. Song to Pang's house, so I came here to have a look."

"We'll have dinner together later, you can see me." Song Qianxun's tone was cold, obviously giving orders to chase away guests.

It's a pity that Pang Yi was not moved at all, and said with a smile, "But in that case, I'm afraid I won't be able to talk to you, Mr. Song. Pang Yan and Mr. Pang are very strict against me."

Why is this person still not leaving?Song Qianxun thought hard about how to issue the order to chase away guests.Pang Yi looked at Song Qianxun's troubled look with a funny face, and kindly suggested, "Why not?"

Song Qianxun subconsciously looked at him.Realizing that his attention had been diverted, Song Qianxun felt a little annoyed, Pang Yi could easily influence others.

"That thing." Pang Yi raised his chin at the two pieces of white jade—Song Qianxun's whole body froze—"I'll keep it a secret. As a price, don't hold me accountable for entering Pang Yan's room without permission, okay?"

Song Qianxun looked at Pang Yi suspiciously. The more natural Pang Yi behaved, the more creepy he was. What did this man understand at the moment just based on what he saw?

But Song Qianxun understood very well that at this moment, it would not be wise to discuss it with him, "Okay, I agree."

"Yes, you have to be straightforward." Pang Yi liked Song Qianxun's decisiveness, "Then the first thing is over. I'll take you to the dining room. I think it's almost time."

"Why should I go with you?" Song Qianxun looked at him warily, his rationality made him unable to let go of his vigilance.

"Did Pang Yan say that he would come to you?" Song Qianxun was silent, and Pang Yi showed an expression of "I knew it", "Mr. Pang met the guests with him. It is impossible for Mr. Pang to let you go so smoothly You are staying at Pang's house, do you want a cold-faced servant to take you there, you may not be able to keep up with his footsteps, and you will be picked on, or follow me slowly?"

"The future is uncertain." Song Qianxun said with emotion.

Pang Yi didn't refute, just looked at Song Qianxun with a smile.When Song Qianxun packed up his things and stopped in front of him, Pang Yi asked with a smile, "Are you sure you choose me?"

"I'm still a guest." Song Qianxun crossed his arms, "Naturally, I want to enjoy the Pang family's hospitality. For example, the young master of the Pang family will lead me the way."

"Interesting." Pang Yi smiled, not knowing whether he was talking about this person or what he was talking about.
