Canary runs with the ball

Li Ruijing's heart moved when he heard the words, and he also held Chen Yi's hand back.

Although the evidence was pulled, Chen Yi didn't call his wife very much in front of outsiders, saying that he was worried that he would slip up when he participated in an event.

Li Ruijing did not disclose the identity of his marriage partner to protect him, so Chen Yi also respected his decision.

Lu Hong sharply commented on this, it is completely unfounded to worry about, are there still few people calling Li Ruijing's wife at the scene?Even if Mr. Chen yells passionately at her husband, others won't take a second look.

However, shouting out such an intimate title on this occasion always has some meaning of declaring sovereignty in it.

Li Ruijing couldn't control his blushing.

The three of them came to the study on the second floor together.The butler made a pot of Longjing tea, poured the tea for the two young masters, and offered Li Ruijing a cup of hot milk.He came in with two more trays of snacks, and waited until everything was ready before getting up and leaving.

Chen Yi and Li Ruijing sat down on the sofa, while Chen Zhuo sat at the desk.

He didn't beat around the bush, and said straight to the point, "Do you want to tell him about your life experience?"

Chen Yi smiled indifferently, "He knows everything he should know."

The elder brother raised his eyebrows, obviously a little surprised that the relationship between the younger brother and his sister-in-law has gone so deep.However, Li Ruijing's willingness to give birth to a second child to Chen Yi during the rising period of his career is enough to prove that the two are connected and cherish each other.

There was a flash of unexplained emotion in Chen Zhuo's eyes, and he thought a lot at this moment.

Thinking that he had misjudged Li Ruijing all these years, and that his younger brother was now happy, he was actually happy for him.

He couldn't help but think of his messy relationship, and the pair of twin daughters who were born a year ago but haven't even seen their biological father.

Of course, what he misses all the time is the irreparable Shi Sheng.

Chen Zhuo sighed, and when he spoke, he lost his usual calmness. He said, "I know you have been investigating your own life experience for the past few years...I spent money to destroy the hospital files. Ms. Lin didn't die of postpartum hemorrhage."

Chen Yi couldn't help but straighten his back. Li Ruijing tightly grasped his hands. In the cold winter weather, Chen Yi's palms were dripping with sweat.

"She almost died during childbirth, but life is actually very tenacious, and she survived."

Chen Zhuo's voice slowed down, as if recalling some distant memory.

"After her husband died, Ms. Lin was completely hopeless. If it wasn't for the child in her womb, she might not have made it to the end... The Qin family and the Lin family have always been on good terms. Ms. Lin and her mother are high school classmates. After giving birth, the mother would go to the hospital every day Take care of her."

Qin Manli is an enthusiastic person, and it is true that she can do these things.

Chen Zhuo said again, "But mom can't keep an eye on her all the time. Just a few days before she was discharged from the hospital, mom was only an hour late to the hospital, and Ms. Lin jumped off the top floor with the baby in her arms."

"Life is very strong, but it is not enough to beg for death again and again."

"The psychiatrist said ... she had severe postpartum depression."

"Also, the child couldn't survive... Maybe it was because the mother's motherhood prevailed before she died. She held the child in her arms and used it as a meat pad..."

Chen Zhuo's voice was broken and choked with depression, "It's ironic, isn't it? When you want to die, you jump off the building with the child... Regret it, and protect the child with your life, leaving him alone in the world."

Chen Yi frowned, and he suddenly understood why Qin Manli said that Chen Zhuo was in poor health when he was a child.

A baby fell from such a high place, and there is something as a cushion, after all, there will be sequelae.

Chen Zhuo didn't look at the two of them, and said to himself, "Why didn't she ask me if I wanted to be born, if I wanted to live..."

Li Ruijing was stunned for a long time before saying, "...sorry."

Chen Zhuo smiled, and finally focused his gaze on Chen Yi's face, "Now you know, you are the biological child of your parents. The Chen family's property is yours, and I will not take any of it. If you If you are still worried, you can ask your parents to issue a property distribution agreement."

Chen Yi frowned and looked back, saying, "I don't care how they like to divide up."

He stood up and said to Li Ruijing, "Let's go."

Li Ruijing followed obediently, and when he came to the door, Chen Yi seemed overwhelmed with anger, turned around and said, "You know better than I do whether your parents treat you as their own son. You are the big brother."

Probably because he felt that these words were too hypocritical, Chen Yi said again, "I don't care how the family property is distributed. I can't spend all the money I earn now. Don't act like you let me."

Li Ruijing pinched Chen Yi's palm, he didn't think Chen Zhuo meant that.

But Chen Zhuo didn't refute, just said, "You are excellent, brother. The Xinghua Group has been thriving under your management, which is much better than me taking over."

Chen Yi held his breath, Chen Zhuo was obviously praising him, but he felt it was very weird, so he dragged Li Ruijing away.

He walked very fast, as if breathing on the same floor as Chen Zhuo was heartburning.Li Ruijing couldn't keep up, so he had to speak slowly to him.

Only then did Chen Yi stop, and turned around to see Li Ruijing clutching his abdomen, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch it nervously, "Does your stomach hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Li Ruijing smiled, pressed his hand to feel the fetal movement, and said, "My sister is telling Dad to slow down, my short legs can't catch up."

"...I'm sorry." Chen Yi's palm was pressed against his abdomen, and his heart gradually calmed down.

Originally, his mood was very complicated, half of which was that the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and the other half was that the truth now weighed heavily on him. Knowing that Chen Zhuo was the posthumous child, his mood did not improve at all.

Why, he and his elder brother can't both be parents' children?

It took Chen Yi a long time to understand that in the eyes of Chen Xingping and Qin Manli, they had always regarded their elder brother as their own, and they were both children of their parents.

Qin Manli wanted her offspring to be outstanding and extraordinary, and Chen Yi's birth "also" placed this hope.

**

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Chen Zhuocai took off all his disguise.His straight back was bent a bit, his eyes gradually turned red, and he fell into the distant memories again.

In the year when he learned the truth, Chen Zhuo had just turned 20 years old. He was drunk in a bar. When he woke up, he was thrown to the side of the street by his playmates whom he met at the nightclub. His famous watches, wallets and mobile phones were all looted , the other party even took away his expensive coat.

At any rate, he left a whole body of clothes and pants to cover his body, giving him the last decency.

Chen Zhuo's head swelled with hangover, it took him a long time to vaguely remember what happened last night, but he couldn't even remember the name of the bar and the face of the liar.

He was dying of thirst, and when he was a little sober, he pushed open a 24-hour convenience store and took a bottle of mineral water and bread.

Because he was penniless, Chen Zhuo didn't dare to take too expensive things. He put the two items on the cashier counter and told the cashier to use his phone to contact his family.

The clerk saw that he smelled of alcohol and looked sloppy, and thought he was a wandering alcoholic. He was afraid that he would run away after giving Chen Zhuo his mobile phone, so he said, "Sir, we don't accept credit for this small business, so it's troublesome to make a phone call." Go find a phone booth."

Chen Zhuo was agitated for a while, he felt all over his body, and said helplessly, "Can I put the clothes on you?"

The t-shirt on him is a new luxury brand, four digits big.

The clerk was overjoyed, looked at the conspicuous logo on his t-shirt, and thought, what do I want you, a drunkard, to do, so he shook his head to express that he was not accommodating.

The two were stalemate, and a weak voice suddenly appeared behind him, "Let me pay for him."

Chen Zhuo looked around and found that it was a very short junior high school student, wearing the school uniform of No. [-] Middle School, with his head drooping very low.

The student paid him, a bottle of water and a piece of bread, only 5 yuan and 5 yuan in total.

When he brought the things to Chen Zhuo, he raised his face. There were obvious wounds on his face, and a big red spot at the eye, which looked terrifying at first glance.

Chen Zhuo didn't care so much, he drank up the mineral water first, and after the symptoms of thirst eased, he looked at the student again.

Only then did he realize that the scar on the other party's face was not really injured, but a red birthmark.The birthmark was red and bright, and it spread domineeringly from the brow to the eyelids, taking away the presence of the entire face, so Chen Zhuo's first reaction was that the child looked really shabby.

The boy seemed to have gotten used to other people's probing eyes, so he didn't speak.

The two left the convenience store side by side, Chen Zhuo turned his head and said, "Lend me the phone, and I will return the money to you when I get home."

The boy shook his head and said, "No need, it doesn't cost much."

Chen Zhuo didn't know why he was impatient with the "savior", so he said angrily, "I will give it if I ask you."

After a while, the boy said in embarrassment, "...I don't have a mobile phone."

Chen Zhuo: ...

He said helplessly, "How much money do you have?"

The boy was very obedient, and obediently took out all the paper money on his body, which added up to less than one hundred.

Chen Zhuo was speechless for a while, the phone booth needs coins to make calls, he turned around and went back to the convenience store to change a few coins, bought another beer, and put it on the boy's shoulder, "Let's go, drink with me. "

The boy hesitated, as if he wanted to say "I won't", but he looked at the hand on his shoulder, and finally followed him without saying anything.

It was the first time Chen Zhuo saw such an unsuspecting child.Isn't he afraid of being abducted?But he changed his mind and thought again, the boy looks so scary, he should be safe.

The two found a place on the rooftop to blow the air. Chen Zhuo hadn't sobered up, but after five cans of beer, he drank too much again.

Unable to help himself, he told the boy about his life experience.

After the boy quietly listened, he suddenly said with emotion, "It turns out that...everyone lives in pain."

Chen Zhuo found out later that the child originally intended to commit suicide.His appearance of abandoning himself strangely aroused the boy's desire to survive.

The boy did Chen Zhuo a small favor, and then realized that a person like himself, whom everyone despises, is also needed by society. He helped a homeless person.

The homeless man told him that his name was Chen Zhuo.

As a courtesy, he should have exchanged his names.

But the boy has no such plan.

Chen Zhuoti slipped away his schoolbag, took out the exercise book, wrote down his phone number on it, and said, "If you encounter any troubles in the future, please contact me."

The boy lowered his head again and replied softly.

Chen Zhuo didn't return the workbook to him right away, but turned back to the front page, looked at the name column, and said aloud, "It's difficult for Shiyou?...a strange name."

Shi Younan stretched out his hand to take back his notebook.

But Chen Zhuo didn't let go, the boy was not as strong as him, and his expression slowly changed from being offended at the beginning to anxious.

He was very close, so Chen Zhuo couldn't help seeing the other person's face clearly.In fact, if you look closely, Shi Younan is not ugly. It can even be said that his facial features are very beautiful, his face is smooth, and his eyes are as pure as a deer.It's just that the flamboyant red birthmark on his face ruined the overall beauty, making people think of disgust and fear the first time they saw him.

Of course, Chen Zhuo couldn't be afraid of a young boy, instead he used his fingertips to touch the birthmark that spread from the brow to the eyes of the other party.The wind on the roof was very strong, and Shi Younan's clothes were blown up, and Chen Zhuo also saw the large bruises on the child's body through his neckline.

He let go of his hands and returned the homework to Shi You, but couldn't help but ask, "Do people beat you often?"

Shi Younan froze for a moment, shook his head, and said, "...you should go home quickly."

It was the first time that someone was not afraid of his birthmark and was willing to get close to him, but he knew that the other party could not solve his current predicament, so it was better not to say anything, so as not to increase troubles.

An inexplicable pity arose in Chen Zhuo's heart, probably because he had undergone a sudden change, he was in a daze, but found a weaker existence than him, and he suddenly realized that he was not the worst.

He reached out and rubbed the boy's hair, and repeated what he said just now, "If you encounter any trouble in the future, please contact me."

Shi You nodded hard, obviously not taking this sentence seriously.

Chen Zhuo didn't care, he went home and had a good sleep, and wanted to pay back the money, but found that the child seemed to have evaporated, and Shi Younan didn't leave his contact information at all.

Chen Zhuo thought that they would never meet again in this life, until a year later he received a crying call from a boy for help.

That year, Shi Younan was 15 years old.

And this contact made them entangled for 16 years.
