Wancheng Chronicle

The dark clouds were dense and low, submerging the warmth of the sun, as if to open the way for the cold winter, causing passers-by to tighten their belts and hurried past.

All this is so similar to New Year's Day eight years ago.It was during the gloomy New Year's Day here that day that Chen Tianrong saw Mingyi who was kidnapped for the first time.At that time, he simply felt that the little guy was an innocent existence that needed to be protected and cared for carefully.She fell in love with cuteness, only to find that behind that innocence, there are countless frightening pasts hidden.

But let's talk about the meaning, in today's Wancheng, things are different, people are different, it seems like a world away.

Chen Tianrong put down the bouquet on the black marble countertop, the water droplets on the flowers rolled down on the stone platform, and he didn't know where he wanted to escape.The stone tablet he bent down to caress, the uneven handwriting, was so cold that there was no warmth - the tomb of his beloved wife Bai Anqi.That gentle, considerate and understanding young woman never enjoyed the smugness she brought, but accompanied her through the most difficult days.Chen Tianrong once asked himself if he had treated Bai Anqi wholeheartedly, even if it was only for a moment in the past.But even now, he still can't give an answer.

Miss Dashijie Bai Anqi, when the guards in Wancheng broke out, she joined the Women's Rescue Society organized by the city, and ran around with the army as a nurse.Two years later, he unfortunately died in the flames of war.This not-so-beautiful woman did her best in the country's difficult time.The determination that even men admire is the strength that erupts after this gentleness.

Chen Tianrong looked at the name engraved on the bottom of the stele, it was an unfamiliar male name.In the process of constantly inquiring, he heard the story of this man - he was an inferior soldier who barely escaped the massacre due to injuries during the Battle of Wancheng, and Bai Anqi saved his life.This simple and honest young soldier fell in love with An Qi while getting along. He didn't mind the nurse's identity as Miss Zeng Wu, and stubbornly wanted to marry her as his wife.In troubled times, everyone will cherish the hard-won warmth, and the same is true for An Qi. She agreed to the most persistent pursuit of this simple young man, and began to wait for her own time of happiness.Unfortunately, before the young man promoted to platoon leader prepared a red wedding dress for her, she left him forever.

If Chen Tianrong took An Qi to the imperial capital that day, she would be the distinguished general's wife now.As her husband succeeds in his official career, she will be accepted by the upper class, just like Wan Yu.But who can tell whether it is Chen Tianrong who is ruthless, or good luck playing tricks on others?There are some things that ordinary people can't explain clearly.I only know that if I live like this, it will be considered a lifetime.

"Hello, sir." A young man appeared in front of Chen Tianrong and greeted him politely, but his eyes were fixed on the tombstone.

Probably this is the young soldier in the story.Chen Tianrong smiled and said: "I am An Qi's friend." He wanted to say it was a story.

People, and all kinds of old things related to an old friend, fearing that it would ruin her affection for An Qi, so he changed his words midway.

Fortunately, the man didn't pay attention to the little strangeness, nodded, but didn't know what to say.

Chen Tianrong also felt embarrassed, so he left.He thought that the man probably had a decent job and some culture, so he was a good support.But he can only think about it. What he can do for An Qi now is to find Bai Zongfei and compensate him for a comfortable future.

"I read the newspaper, I read the newspaper! The younger brother of President Ming came back from overseas and brought a huge sum of money to support the election! I read the newspaper, I read the newspaper..."

Chen Tianrong, who was wandering in the street in a daze, was taken aback by the newsboy's shout.Chief Ming?That's Akihito!It seemed that it took him a long time to react. He rushed forward and grabbed the newsboy who had gone a long way, threw down the banknote and snatched the newspaper.

On the front page of the black-and-white ink newspaper, the headline "Chairman Ming's Brother Returns from Overseas Returns with Huge Funding" is impressively printed.He heard it right, Chen Tianrong restrained his trembling and looked down, the huge photo was printed with that familiar yet unfamiliar image——Mingyi.This little guy, smiling slightly, is dressed in a black suit and a neat bow tie. He is a little more mature and less charming than his youth.That real existence made Chen Tianrong a little confused. He stood on the street with his newspapers in his hands, not knowing what to do for a while.Maybe it was because the accident happened too fast, but he didn't even have joy in his heart. A huge void filled his mind, and he couldn't accommodate anything other than surprise and astonishment.

After disappearing for eight years, but returning to his hometown with such a glorious identity, Chen Tianrong couldn't figure out what kind of mystery there was.The Zurich industrialists, financiers, and industry leaders who graduated from famous Western universities, which were widely advertised in the newspapers, made Chen Tianrong even more confused.In terms of time, it is impossible to report this person to be clear.The day when this industrialist graduated from university was the day when Ming Yi left the imperial capital to make an appointment with Gu Qijin.

With countless doubts and apprehensions, Chen Tianrong knocked on the door of Ming Mansion.During the Wancheng War, it survived due to Gu Qijin's special care, and it is still the style of that day.Chen Tianrong once heard that Mingren sent special personnel to maintain and repair it after the war, but he stayed in the imperial capital for a long time after he was promoted, and never came back to see it.If he hadn't returned to Wancheng from the imperial capital for An Qi's affairs this time, he probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to appear in front of the Ming mansion at this time.In a trance, he suddenly believed in the arrangement of fate.

"Hello, may I ask you to find—" The man who opened the door was a man in a well-fitting suit. He originally smiled and asked the visitor, but when he saw Chen Tianrong, he swallowed the question and shouted: "Brother? "

Uneasy Chen Tianrong was even more stunned when he heard this sentence. How could he have thought that Bai Zongfei would appear in Ming Mansion?He stepped forward quickly, but he didn't know where to start.All of this happened too quickly, just like the war eight years ago, it was like a thunderstorm on the ground, blowing up so many people's lives.

Bai Zongfei rushed forward to hug Chen Tianrong, he even hummed like a child, with a crying voice, it was also Qiqi Ai who didn't know what he was talking about.Two lines of tears fell down his cheeks, and joy had replaced all his emotions and reason.

"It's okay, it's okay." Chen Tianrong patted Bai Zongfei, his guilt towards An Qi made him clearly realize that he was ashamed of the Bai family.But it made him forget the purpose of standing here. He didn't think of the newspapers in his hand until the person who kept appearing in his mind was actually standing in front of him in his dream at midnight.

"Fei, come in and cry if you want to cry." Mingyi pushed the two of them in, he smiled, just like seeing ordinary friends visiting, without the shock of the two of them at all.The beautiful eyes are as calm as water, as if the turbulent river water has faded away, and it is gradually going east in a steady manner, and there is no flow.

This is how Chen Tianrong was dragged into the Ming Mansion, where he and the little guy had their first quarrel.Although the impression is quite vague, it can be vaguely found that the furnishings and decorations here have not changed, and it is still the same as before.He was eager to find the answer to all this, before even sitting down, he leaned forward and hugged Mingyi.Even though he held Si Lian firmly in his arms, he still felt uneasy, afraid that he would go back to the same day in the blink of an eye, wanted to speak but didn't know where to ask.There were too many questions in my heart, but instead, I stayed there and remained silent.

Being embraced by someone, Mingyi neither struggled nor catered to, but just explained a few words casually: "I took Ah Fei to Zurich, he studied at the Royal Academy of Zurich for a long time, and he is considered half a professional. Talent. Now that I return to China to support my eldest brother, he will naturally come back together and live here temporarily." He seemed to be talking about the street chatting, passing by in a few words.

"You clearly know that this is not what I care about!" Chen Tianrong met Shang Mingyi's eyes, in his familiar eyes, there was still a trace of shyness from that day hidden, especially cute when he dodged. "Tell me where you've been, okay?"

Ming Yi tilted his head and leaned on Chen Tianrong's shoulder, as if he was thinking about it, and then nodded after a while.He knew that he had kept too many things from Chen Tianrong.This man, who has been worrying about himself for so many years, is still the same as before, no matter how calm and calm he is in front of others, he always has some little reasons for losing his composure in his hands. "Come to the imperial capital with me, the eldest brother is about to stand on the top and realize his ideal

up.I'll let you know when he's done. "
