Specific gravity

The huge room fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

Cen Baiyan's body froze completely, his brain exploded with a "buzz", and it took ten seconds for him to react after his tinnitus.

"Xuan Zhao," he clutched his phone tightly, his voice trembling imperceptibly, "Stop joking, did you go shopping alone? You are not familiar with this place, why are you running around by yourself? Zhao Zhao , you send me a location, and I will pick you up right away."

"I'm very familiar with this place," the voice of the omen came from the receiver, cold and calm as if without emotion, "there is a sun painted with red paint strokes under the vase in the hallway; there is a cat sticker on the foot of the coffee table near the stairs, The imprint should still be there; there is a knife mark on the back of the room door, which was engraved when a child measured his height; the password of the jewelry cabinet in the master bedroom, if I remember correctly, should be 020202."

Cen Baiyan was stunned for a moment, even he didn't know the details of the house.

He quickly closed the door of the room, squatted down | groping with the palm of his hand on the white wall, and felt a small depression with his fingertips - there were indeed a few traces there, as if carved by a knife.

The sound of waves hitting the rocks came from outside the window, Cen Baiyan felt in a trance as if he was soaked in the icy sea water, the chill ran up his back, he felt the biting cold in the room full of sunlight.

"Xuan Zhao," Cen Baiyan heard his hoarse voice, "Who are you?"

"At the banquet hall tomorrow," Xuan Zhao said lightly, "you will know the answer."

beep--

When the phone was hung up, Cen Baiyan seemed to have lost consciousness. He pressed the phone to his ear, quietly listening to the beeps from inside.

He thought he should be standing, but when he realized it, he found himself sitting on the edge of the bed, his whole body seemed to be exhausted, and his mind was blank.

Obviously Xuanzhao was still in his arms last night, Xuanzhao said "Bo Yan, it's true, I like you, it's true", Xuanzhao's breath was very hot, Xuanzhao kissed his Adam's apple, Xuanzhao's eyelashes were wet , tremblingly wanted Cen Baiyan to hug him, hug him tightly.

Everything that happened last night was real and beautiful. Until now, Cen Baiyan can still describe every inch of Xuan Zhao's body curve and every trace of Xuan Zhao's expression when he closes his eyes. How come there is nothing overnight?

Xuan Zhao. The Xuan Zhao who he loved so much is gone.

Cen Baiyan gasped for breath, only feeling a splitting headache, he took a deep breath, and told himself to calm down with the remaining rationality.

He faces Xuan Zhao day and night, and he doesn't believe that Xuan Zhao doesn't love him.

Xuan Zhao's feelings for him are the only fulcrum for Cen Baiyan at this moment.

Cen Baiyan picked up the phone again and pressed Xuan Zhao's number.

As long as Xuanzhao told him, Bo Yan, I was joking with you, he could continue to pretend that he didn't know anything.

No, there's no need, Xuan Zhao doesn't even need to explain anything, as long as Xuan Zhao comes back.

——I can continue to deceive myself and others, I can be a fool all my life, as long as you come back.

Cen Boyan only needs one sign.

"Sorry, the person you dialed has switched off."

Cen Boyan dialed the familiar number over and over again, and opened the starry sky avatar on the top of WeChat over and over again. He sent messages and voice calls to Xuan Zhao. He asked where Xuan Zhao was, and asked if Xuan Zhao had breakfast. It's very big, do you wear an extra coat, Xinyang is more humid than the harbor, do your legs hurt?

However there was no reply.

From dawn to dusk, Cen Baiyan could not wait for a word from Xuan Zhao.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the setting sun completely sank into the sea level, and the last twilight of the yellow afterglow disappeared.

Cen Baiyan turned his stiff neck and looked out the window. It turned out that it was already night, and a whole day had passed.

It's late at night, does Xuan Zhao have somewhere to go?Are his documents complete?He is so frugal, is he willing to spend money to stay in a hotel?

A series of questions related to "Xuan Zhao" jumped out one after another, like a heavy punch, suddenly hitting Cen Baiyan's temple.

At this moment, the mobile phone at his feet vibrated suddenly.

Cen Baiyan's pupils constricted, he immediately picked up the phone, connected it without looking at it, and said anxiously, "Zhaozhao?"

"It's me." Cen Jingxiang's voice came from the other end of the phone.

not him.

The newly ignited light in Cen Baiyan's eyes dimmed suddenly, he leaned his head against the foot of the bed, and gently closed his eyes.

"I heard from Xiaoqing that you have returned to Xinyang, and you must be there tomorrow." Cen Jingxiang said.

"Mom, I want to ask you alone." Cen Baiyan licked his dry lips.

Cen Jingxiang seems to be preparing tomorrow's menu, and the sound of high heels landing is very obvious.

"Who?"

The heartbeat suddenly amplified in his ears, and Cen Baiyan had a vague premonition that the answer to this question might be the answer he had always wanted to know about Xuan Zhao.

bang-bang-bang-

Cen Baiyan counted the beating of his own heart, and at the same time, a sharp pain came from his heart.

"I'll go tomorrow, it's fine." Cen Baiyan said.

He dared not ask, he dared not know the truth.

July 27, [-]:[-] am.

The best hotel in Xinyang City - Levanderui, Chenxiang Hall on the eighth floor.

Well-known entrepreneurs from Xinyang and even the whole province gathered together.Cen Qing wore an elegant princess dress, and greeted each banquet guest with a smile; Cen Jingxiang wore a clear jade bracelet on her wrist, and accompanied Wan Qianshan, elegant and generous.

"Mr. Bai, long time no see!" Wan Qianshan shook hands with an extraordinary man, "It's really an honor for me, Wan, to come here with a thousand dollars!"

After a while of pleasantries, the daughter of the Bai family couldn't bear it any longer, with two blushes on her face, she asked in a low voice, "Uncle, aunt, where's brother Bai Yan?"

Cen Jingxiang covered her mouth and smiled: "Bo Yan is in front, the child is waiting for you!"

She couldn't wait for Cen Baiyan to quickly get in touch with people in the upper class. Wan Qianshan was unhappy, but it was not easy to explode.

The guests took their seats one after another. Cen Baiyan was in the corner of the hall, keeping an eye on the position of the door.

Everyone arrived, and the luxurious carved wooden door of the hall was slowly closed, but Xuan Zhao still did not appear.

Wan Qianshan stepped onto the stage, and there was deafening applause from below.

Cen Jingxiang was very dissatisfied with Cen Baiyan's performance just now, and whispered: "Why are you in a daze? What a great opportunity, why don't you stay with Miss Bai's family?"

Cen Baiyan turned a deaf ear, still staring at the direction of the gate.

"You don't like the one from Bai's family, but what about the one from Chairman Fang's? She mentioned you to me several times," Cen Jingxiang said again, "Bo Yan, mom won't hurt you, you have to fight for me! "

"Mom," Cen Baiyan smiled mockingly, and turned to look at Cen Jingxiang, "How much benefit will you get if you sell me? I'm a big man, not worth much."

"You—" Cen Jingxiang glared at Cen Baiyan bitterly, "Why are you so rebellious now? You don't even listen to what your mother says?"

Cen Qing is like a happy butterfly, sitting next to a handsome man, holding his hand affectionately.

That man, Cen Baiyan, knew that he seemed to be the son of the boss of a real estate company. After returning from studying abroad, he took one billion to start a business, and he lost all his money. He is a pure second-generation ancestor.

"It's enough for you to have love, isn't she very obedient?" Cen Baiyan said.

Cen Jingxiang heard the sarcasm in Cen Baiyan's tone, and a crack finally appeared on the face that had been maintaining an elegant smile: "You don't like the way I taught Xiaoqing, but don't forget, if I hadn't relied on With this set, the two of us might not survive now."

Cen Baiyan lowered his eyes and remained silent.

"For so many years, the Wan family has gone through ups and downs. Thank you for your support. I, Wan, have thanked everyone here!" On stage, Wan Qianshan talked about the excitement, and even tears welled up in his eyes, "Recently, some The bad rumors about the Wan family all say that the business depends on character. You all know what kind of person I am Wan Qianshan. I don’t want to be rich and powerful when I do business, I just want to have a clear conscience. I swear to God , In the past ten years, I haven't made any money that I shouldn't have made."

At the moment, it is on the first floor of the Ravendry Hotel.

Eight black Bentleys stopped in front of the hotel one by one along the garden driveway.

The car door opened, a pure black walking stick fell to the ground first, and then Xuan Zhao leaned out, wearing a black shirt, black trousers and black leather shoes, with the hem of the shirt tucked into the waist of the trousers, outlining a thin and straight figure.

Uncle Gong got out of the second car and walked to his side, and the rest of his men got out of the car one after another, separated into two rows, and stood behind Xuan Zhao.

Xuanzhao raised his head, looked at the European-style building in front of him, and asked Uncle Gong, "Uncle, how old is it?"

"Master came back from overseas and founded the Xuanshi Group. The first major project was to build this hotel." Uncle Gong's eyes were wrinkled, and the excitement and emotion in his old voice could not be suppressed, "It is now 38 years old. years."

Xuan Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly: "38 years."

"It would be great if the master is still here." Uncle Gong sighed.

"Grandpa is not here, but I am." Xuan Zhao smiled slightly, raised his hand and swept lightly on the lapel, "Go in."

In the Chenxiang Hall on the eighth floor, Wan Qianshan's speech is gradually reaching its climax.

"Someone is pouring dirty water on me, Wan, and Wan, slandering me that my hands are not clean." Wan Qianshan's eyes were red, and he shook his hands angrily. Wan's is not my own Wan's, but Wan's with thousands of employees. Wan's reputation cannot be slandered! I, Wan, are willing to sell 80% of my shares to preserve Wan's foundation!"

Even though everyone here is an old fox who is well versed in shopping malls, after hearing this sentence, he was still shocked, and there were loud discussions——

"What does Wan Qianshan want? Is he crazy?"

"Doesn't he have two sons? One from his ex-wife and one from his current wife. He doesn't leave a dime to his son?"

"You don't know this? Neither of Wan Qianshan's two sons is related to him. The eldest son is of good blood, but Wan Qianshan committed crimes himself; the second son is a savage, brought into the house by that savage woman."

Some of the younger ones didn't know the dirty things of Wan Qianshan back then, so they asked doubtfully, "Two sons? Isn't it just a foreign surname?"

"Do you know the Xuan family? It seems that it has really fallen."

Cen Jingxiang stood quietly aside, her fists clenched tightly, her nails deeply cut into the tiger's mouth.

Wan Qianshan looked dignified, raised his hand and made a downward movement, and the noisy room fell silent in an instant.

He bowed deeply to the audience: "I want someone to look up to the sky and bow down to the ground. If someone uses me as a target to attack Wan, I will never allow this to happen. It doesn't matter if I don't have one, As long as Wan's is still there, as long as Wan's employees are happy, I am enough—"

What he said was high-sounding and beautiful.

Wan Qianshan straightened up, just about to say something, suddenly there was a loud "bang", and the heavy carved wooden door was pushed open from the outside.

Cen Baiyan's heart beat heavily, and he suddenly looked up——

More than a dozen black-clothed black sunglasses stood outside the door in two rows, and slowly walked up to the previous person from among them.

thump - thump - thump -

The sound of the walking stick landing was steady and clear, and Xuan Zhao walked up to the crowd with a smile on his face.

Wearing a black attire, he looks slimmer and thinner, his skin is as white as snow, and the veins on his neck under the dark collar are clearly visible; there is an aura of nobility lingering around him, which is incompatible with this place full of copper smell.

After a brief moment of astonishment, more intense discussions erupted in the hall.

"He is the young master of the Xuan family?!"

"What is he doing here? I heard that Wan Qianshan did a very good job back then, leaving no way out for their mother and son."

"I don't think he's a cripple? He's still on crutches."

Xuanzhao turned a deaf ear to these voices, his shoulders were straightened, his left hand leaned on a crutch, and he walked towards Wanqian Mountain step by step.

Cen Baiyan's mind went blank, and he stared blankly at Xuan Zhao's thin figure.

Wan Qianshan met Shang Xuanzhao's eyes, and trembled inexplicably from the bottom of his heart.Cen Jingxiang was even more astonished, why did this cripple appear here? !

"Xiao, Xiaozhao?" Wan Qianshan reacted quickly, strode forward to support Xuanzhao, "Why are you here? You are not in good health, I will ask someone to send you back to rest."

Xuan Zhao looked at his father with a smile, and after a while, he said in a volume that everyone present could hear: "No need, Dad."

wow——

As if a basin of ice water had been poured on his head, Cen Baiyan's ears were buzzing, and his mind went blank for an instant.

The glass cup in Cen Qing's hand hit the ground with a "smack".

Xuan Zhao's eyes flicked across Cen Baiyan's body, he just paused for a while, and didn't stop there.

With a light wave of his hand, the accompanying men immediately closed the gate, and guarded the gate and the two side doors.

Can't go in, can't go out.

Xuan Zhao walked onto the stage slowly and picked up the microphone that Wan Qianshan had used for his speech just now.

"Many of you uncles have come from afar. You have worked hard. Just last week, this hotel has just been transferred to my name. I cover all the expenses for you here. I wish you all a good time." Xuan Zhao bowed politely.

"Xuan Zhao!" Wan Qianshan roared, "What do you want!"

Xuan Zhao turned a deaf ear, his posture was extremely elegant, he was a perfect and personable noble son.

"Many uncles don't know who I am, so let me introduce myself. I am the grandson of Xuan Boyuan, the son of Xuan Yu and Wan Qianshan, Xuan Zhao."

Xuan Zhao's voice was as gentle as running water, but to Cen Baiyan's ears, it was bone-chillingly cold.

The person on the stage clearly nestled in his arms last night with flushed eyes.

"Since I am the host today, I should also do my best to introduce my family to you." Xuanzhao said, looking at Wan Qianshan with a smile, "This is my father. , Wan Qianshan, the head of Wan's Group, I have been physically handicapped these years, and I haven't met him a few times, and I am ashamed for not being filial by my side. Thanks to him for taking care of my grandfather's assets for more than ten years So outstanding. Grandpa has a spirit in heaven, and he will never forget your contribution, Dad."

Xuan Zhao smiled elegantly, but Wan Qianshan clenched his fists tightly: "Xuan Zhao, come down for me!"

Two attendants pressed his shoulders instantly.

"This—" Xuan Zhao turned to Cen Jingxiang, the smile in his eyes became more obvious.

Cen Jingxiang couldn't control her expression anymore, distorted hatred appeared in her eyes: "The surname is Xuan, and the surname is Xuan."

"This is my father's concubine. It is said that an underground lover can't get on the stage, so it's fine to keep her outside secretly. It's me, the eldest son, who has made her public for so many years. I didn't do it well." Xuan Zhao said slightly to the audience. Bowing down, he apologized, "The family ugliness is publicized, I hope all uncles will forgive me."

Cen Baiyan's pupils constricted suddenly, and he staggered.

This part of the plot is too heavy, so I will continue with the plot tomorrow~

The plot of the floor-to-ceiling windows will be added the day after tomorrow.
