Sorry, it's a different price to be a stand-in

Lu Yunqi had a hard time this week.

In order to punish Lin Zhinan, he dismissed all the servants in the family in a fit of anger. When he received a call from his assistant late at night, he had to endure the pain in his leg and drive to the company by himself.

Uncle held an emergency meeting and said that he heard rumors that domestic policies have changed recently, and companies need to adjust their company plans and strategies in a timely manner.

At the end of the meeting, Lu Yunqi was left alone by his uncle and chatted a little about the recent situation.

The company's originally planned piece of land was won by another company and disrupted the domestic development process. Uncle hoped that Lu Yunqi could reflect on it and stop making decisions lightly.

Lu Yunqi answered absent-mindedly, but in fact, his heart was full of the injured Lin Zhinan.

Seeing that Lu Yunqi wasn't fully focused on his work, his uncle noticed something strange and asked if he had anything on his mind recently.

Lu Yunqi shook his head hastily, "I'm a little tired, you know, the company's new plan needs to be formulated quickly, the old guys under me have more work than one, and I'm not good at talking..."

Nie Wenchang let out an inexplicable snort, "In your eyes, am I also an old guy?"

"That's not true," Lu Yunqi flatly denied, and laughed, "How can those people compare with Uncle?"

Nie Wenchang looked at the increasingly smooth Lu Yunqi with emotion, "You kid, you are getting more and more talkative, if..."

He wanted to say that if your mother was still around, she would be happy to see you being able to take care of herself, but it was hard to get out of her mouth.

The Sri Lankan has passed away, and it is futile to say more.

"Okay, I'm going to rest, Yun Qi, take care of yourself."

Nie Wenchang gave a few simple instructions and hung up the video call.

The big screen in the conference room returned to a blue screen, and the room was filled with blue light. Lu Yunqi looked up at the screen and sighed helplessly.

I don't know when the wind and rain came out of the window, the branches were blown all over the sky, and a few lights flashed in the black clouds from time to time, followed by the muffled thunder that shook the sky.

A heavy rain is inevitable.

It was impossible to go home, so Lu Yunqi decided to make do with the night in the office rest room, but lying on that narrow single bed, he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

New injuries and old injuries overlapped together, and the bad weather tickled the pain in the bones.

Lu Yunqi couldn't help thinking, there were so many things that happened on a rainy night, but unfortunately none of them were worth being happy about.

Even the old dog who came back on a rainy night became a victim of their innocent feelings.

Lu Yunqi also thought of what the gardener said at home. He said that Mr. Lin is a little strange recently. Every time after eating, he would take the old dog to play in the garden. Just play, and every time he would go to the old toilet in the corner of the garden to stay for a while .

Lu Yunqi remembered that he found Lin Zhinan in the old toilet last time.

The gardener also said that several times he heard Mr. Lin vomit inside, crying while vomiting. He was a little worried about Mr. Lin's situation, so he told Lu Yunqi about it.

Recently, the meals cooked at home are all Lin Zhinan's favorites in the past.

Lu Yunqi didn't intend to please him, but seeing him hunched over at home every day, looking overly frightened and timid, Lu Yunqi unconsciously wanted to comfort him.

To put it bluntly, Lu Yunqi couldn't hold back his face, so he could only choose to cook Lin Zhinan's favorite food to comfort him.

It's just that Lu Yunqi didn't expect Lin Zhinan to be so "backbone" in front of him, that he dared to spit out everything.

Why?Lu Yunqi wanted to ask Lin Zhinan why he readily accepted other men's kindness, but he was the only one who excluded him.

Lu Yunqi didn't dare to question directly, he was afraid of hearing the cruel truth from Lin Zhinan.

After all, Lin Zhinan left him in the cruelest way back then.

He only kissed Lin Zhinan's earlobe when he was in a trance, and asked why softly.

The whole portrait of Lin Zhinan was fished out of the water, his eyes were out of focus, and blood flowed out from under his body, staining the floral bed sheet red.

Lin Zhinan's miserable state appeared in front of his eyes, Lu Yunqi scratched his hair angrily, annoyed and helpless.

A hasty knock on the door interrupted Lu Yunqi's thinking.

People in the technical department said that hackers have been attacking the company's security system and stealing customer information, and now they need to activate the company's secondary technical security measures.

Lu Yunqi was silent for a moment, then called Fang Suian and asked him to thoroughly investigate the identity of the hacker.

Early the next morning, Lu Yunqi received a call from the housekeeper, saying that there was no one at home.

Lu Yunqi panicked and called Lin Zhinan, but no one answered. He contacted Bai Hao and Lan Xin again, but still got nothing.

Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly thought of the single apartment where Lin Zhinan lived before.

It took a lot of trouble to find the landlord, Lu Yunqi revealed his identity to him, and the landlord opened the door for him dubiously.

The apartment was very clean, and the sofa was covered with a white cloth to cover the dust. It seemed that no one had been back for a long time.

After thanking the landlord, Lu Yunqi returned to the car.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Even with the air conditioner on, Lu Yunqi was still sweating all over his body. Only this time did he realize that he knew nothing about Lin Zhinan. The only thing he knew was a few years ago.

He knew that Lin Zhinan had very few friends, but even if they were few, he didn't know who to contact except Bai Hao.

Lin Zhinan disappeared without a trace like a drop of water falling into the ocean.

Finally, Lu Yunqi set his eyes on the text message from Fang Suian.

【Lin Zhinan loves his younger brother the most. If he finds his younger brother, won't he be able to find him? 】

It's the best idea, but it's also the worst.

Lu Yunqi didn't want to see Lin Ning. Seeing Lin Ning would always bring back some bad memories.

But in the current situation, he had to ask Lin Ning for help.

Lin Ning's mental state is very good. He doesn't look like he has been ill for many years and his life is dying. On the contrary, he looks more like a little boy who has not grown up. He wears sunglasses, his skin is almost white to transparent, and his long white hair is simply tied behind his head. , Quietly lying half-lying on the dark hospital bed.

When Lin Ning knew that the person in front of him was Lu Yunqi, he sat up excitedly.

Lin Ning spoke softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the afternoon sun, "Brother Yunqi! Is it really you?"

Lu Yunqi took Lin Ning's hand, carefully looked at his familiar face, and felt extremely moved in his heart.

It would be great if Lin Zhinan could be as obedient and well-behaved as Lin Ning, so that he wouldn't have to chase after him, fighting to the death.

It's a pity that Lin Zhinan is not Lin Ning, Lu Yunqi is soberly aware of the difference between the two, and he never expected that Lin Zhinan could become Lin Ning.

"Sorry, I'm late." Lu Yunqi smiled and asked politely, "How has Xiao Ning been doing all these years?"

Lin Ning pursed his lips. Although he couldn't see his eyes, Lu Yunqi thought that those eyes should be full of disappointment.

"I'm fine...so is brother, brother Yunqi, don't worry."

The more Lin Ning said this, the more guilt Lu Yunqi felt in his heart. He thought that with Lin Wei's help, Lin Ning had basically recovered, but he didn't expect that Lin Ning was already terminally ill.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Ning raised his head and called "Aunt Song".

An older woman came out of the door, and Lin Ning handed her his mobile phone, "Aunt Song, can you take a photo of me and brother Yunqi, I want him to see it."

Hearing Lin Ning mention Lin Zhinan, Lu Yunqi did not stop Aunt Song from taking pictures.

Lin Ning pulled his hand again, and raised his head in his direction, "Brother Yunqi, take a closer look at me, have you changed a lot over the years?"

Hearing his request, Lu Yunqi had no choice but to follow suit, approaching Lin Ning for a closer look.

After watching for a while, he said with a smile, "Xiao Ning has grown up and is no longer a child."

Lin Ning raised the corners of his lips and leaned closer to Lu Yunqi's ear, "Then...Brother Yunqi, can you...be my boyfriend?"

Lu Yunqi was taken aback for a moment, then quickly stood up, "Xiao Ning, you..."

"I've liked you for a long time..." Lin Ning took off his sunglasses, frowned and "looked" in the direction of Lu Yunqi, his tone was gloomy, "Look at me... I don't live long, so take it as my last wish... ..."

Seeing Lin Ning's dull, light-colored eyes, Lu Yunqi clenched his fingers unconsciously. He was suddenly at a loss for words, not knowing how to refuse.

"I knew you before my brother, why did you choose him..." Lin Ning's eyes were full of tears, but they couldn't fall, they kept rolling in his eyes, "I have been waiting for you to come back, I thought you were separated from my brother Afterwards, I will have a chance..."

"What I like is..."

Lin Ning became even more emotional, "Brother Yunqi! Do you think it's just lying to me, coaxing me and refusing to coax me? You don't know how much I envy my brother...he has everything, but I...I don't even have a healthy body. It's impossible to live..."

The words Lu Yunqi wanted to ask about Lin Zhinan's whereabouts were stuck in his throat, unable to ask.

He stood aside for a long time, finally turned and left the ward.

In the ward behind him, there was a soft sob.

Without looking back, he went straight to the stairs.

Aunt Song chased him out and stopped him when he was about to go downstairs.

"Mr. Lu, is it convenient for us to talk further?"

Lu Yunqi looked at the woman with a submissive look in front of him, and finally nodded.

Aunt Song led Lu Yun to a hidden corner of the corridor, and started the conversation with a sigh.

"Hey...Mr. Lu, you are Xiao Nan and Xiao Ning's friend, right? You should also know how difficult life is for the two brothers." Aunt Song paused, "It was Dean Lin who introduced me to the two brothers. I heard that my orphan Widowed mother, Xiao Nan's monthly salary is one or two thousand more than others. At that time, he changed to a new company, and he couldn't take care of food. He insisted on letting Xiao Ning use the best medicine, so he hid in the corridor and ate cold steamed buns. Drinking tap water, he was skinny back then... I can't bear to think..."

Listening to her words, Lu Yunqi's heart slowly became agitated. This was completely different from the information he had heard.

"...Xiao Nan was sensible, even if he was so hungry that he fainted, he refused to tell Xiao Ning that he had no place to live at that time, so he lived in the corridor of the nursing home with a simple bed and a quilt. The conditions were not as advanced as they are now. At that time, there were no toilets in the wards, and Xiao Nan used the public toilets to wash and wash. It was common to use cold water to relieve fatigue and hangovers when returning from accompanying clients in winter..."

"Xiao Nan has had a really hard time these years, but he said it was all for the benefit of his younger brother... I can't persuade him to say anything."

Aunt Song's words were heart-wrenching, and Lu Yunqi's mood gradually changed from doubt to shock, and finally regret and trance-about Lin Zhinan, what he heard from others and what Aunt Song said was completely different.

But what shocked him the most was what Aunt Song said next.

Auntie Song said that Lin Zhinan's greatest wish is for his younger brother to be healthy and happy, but Lin Ning will not live long, and she hopes that Lu Yunqi can agree to Lin Ning's request and stay with him for a while, so that Lin Ning's long-cherished wish can be fulfilled.
