Sunday morning, clear sky, cloudless.
Jian Yao stood at the door of the house, watching the people from the mental hospital get out of the car, and then controlled Yang Jinhua, who was crying and struggling, and stuffed her into the car. They also said a few words to Huo Yan, with faces with a smile.
From Jian Yao's seat, Huo Yan's voice could be heard: "My mother's condition may be a little serious."
Staff member: "We know this well, we must watch her carefully, and we won't let her hurt us."
Originally, Jian Yao didn't understand the process of sending patients to a mental hospital, but now he finally knows that not everyone with a mental disorder can be admitted to the hospital, but the family members must take the initiative to contact the hospital.
If there are no family members who are willing to contact, take care of and spend money on, then the patient really can only fend for himself.
Thinking about it this way, Yang Jinhua is still lucky, at least Huo Yan is willing to take care of her, she will not be bullied in the mental hospital, she will not be starved or cold, and she will be taken care of when she is sick.
Jian Yao walked to the side of the car and saw Yang Jinhua's face through the car window.
She is old.
In the past, even if she wore white-washed designer clothes and didn't care for her hair, she still had some energy. At that time, she looked like a shrewd middle-aged man with a little arrogance. No matter who she looked at, Her gaze is always upward.
But now she is aging at a speed visible to the naked eye. The skin on her face is loose, and the bones on her face seem to break through the thin layer of skin. Her expression is crazy, like crying, or angry, The body shape has also become thinner.
Once a person's spiritual energy is dispersed, his state will change with each passing day.
This kind of aging is not a peaceful aging, nor is it the tolerance and benevolence bestowed by time.
It is a sudden change in life, like a balloon being blown to the maximum, and suddenly a needle pierces the illusion.
Jian Yao is a little curious, has come to this point, will Yang Jinhua regret it?
Will she wake up?Does she really feel like she's done something wrong?
Probably not, Jian Yao no longer regards the people here as paper people—their malicious greed may be magnified, but through Zhou Yi and Chen Mei, Jian Yao still finds that everyone here has My own set of logic is no different from real people.
Maybe in Yang Jinhua's eyes, she herself is great, she took a huge risk to change the child, maybe she is sorry for everyone, but only for the one she loves most.
Because of her dedication, Zhou Wenyuan grew up in a family that he couldn't reach before, and received love and training from the Zhou family for more than ten years. Even if it was only for the cost of training, they would not abandon him when he discovered the truth.
He stands at a higher starting point than others. Even if his reputation is rotten in China, he can live a good life that most people can't imagine when he goes abroad.
Especially since his reputation is not bad yet, although some people scolded him online, it was Yang Jinhua who scolded him more.
There are even people who sympathize with him. What is more terrifying than going from being the proud son of heaven to the son of a criminal?
For Huo Yan, discovering his background is a step up to the sky.
But for Zhou Wenyuan, it was falling from heaven to hell.
Comparing the two, of course some people sympathized with Zhou Wenyuan.
Jian Yao recalled watching movies in the past, Thanos never felt that he was a villain. In his logic, he was saving the earth and human beings. Because of this, he was able to carry out his ideas and not be transferred by external things.
Yang Jinhua feels that she is a great mother, and she has been implementing her ideas all her life.
For this reason, she can hurt anyone, as long as she wants to save, the one she loves can get happiness.
That's why she can do so many crazy things.
When the car from the mental hospital drove away, Jian Yao told Huo Yan what he thought.
Huo Yan was also watching Yang Jinhua leave, and he said in a very soft voice: "Perhaps there are really bad people in this world who don't think they are doing good deeds."
Jian Yao was stunned for a moment: "Then there is no logic!"
Huo Yan said with a smile: "Where did so much logic come from? Some people just saw it and wanted to do it, and then they did it."
Jian Yao blinked: "It makes sense."
No wonder when reading the news before wearing a book, some people always say that reality does not need logic, because human desires have no logic.
Yang Jinhua was sent to the psychiatric hospital, and soon the ambulance came. The person who was going to be sent away this time was Huo Gan. Huo Gan was carried out from the room by the nurse on a stretcher. According to Yan, Huo Gan had a conflict with Yang Jinhua, and Yang Jinhua beat Huo Gan's head with a pot at home, and then it became like this.
Moreover, Yang Jinhua did not allow Huo Yan to call an ambulance, and Huo Yan is a "big filial son", so he must not go against his mother's wishes, so he had no choice but to send Yang Jinhua to the mental hospital before sending Huo Gan.
The neighbors around him are all sighing: "Huo Yan is such a kind child. He still remembers their kindness when the couple treat him so well. If my child is half as good as Huo Yan, I will definitely be smiling when I fall asleep in the middle of the night." .”
"Hey, even if it's not your own, if you cultivate it well, what's the difference with your own? These two are still too dark-hearted."
"Why don't you say that the son of the dragon-born dragon and phoenix-born phoenix mouse can make holes? I think Huo Yan follows his parents. Huo Yan also said that day that if he can go back to Zhou's house, he will definitely help us Xiaochen find a Work, don't let Xiaochen be an ordinary employee, you have to be a management team!"
"Xiao Yan! Don't forget about your brother Zhuangzi! Your brother Zhuangzi is uneducated and left without graduating from high school. You can ask him to drive a car for the leader!"
"And your sister Ling! Your sister Ling is suffering outside now! Our family has no money. Apart from taking care of your own food and drink, your sister Ling also sends money to the family every month. You should help sister Ling too!"
The neighbors surrounded Huo Yan. It was different from the last time. There were not so many people surrounding Huo Yan last time. After all, they were all just walking outside or going home. This time they all came out to watch the excitement.
No one paid attention to Huo Gan who had been taken away by the ambulance.
Huo Yan assured one by one that he grew up here, forgetting that no one would forget his fellow villagers and neighbors, as long as there is an opportunity, he has the ability, and he will definitely let all kinds of brothers and sisters be in management.
Jian Yao who was standing next to him didn't say anything, he didn't like the Zhou family anyway, and it didn't matter to him whether these people could enter the Zhou family's company.
The Zhou family would not let Huo Yan inherit the Zhou Group. For Jian Yao, it would be better if the Zhou family fell, so that Huo Yan could live a peaceful life, and no one could influence Huo Yan's life anymore.
It's a pity that the Zhou family's tentacles have extended to too many industries, and it is not easy to fall. Maybe he will live in this world until he is old and will not see the Zhou family fall.
It was almost noon when the neighbors finally let Huo Yan go.
It was Jian Yao who rescued Huo Yan from the crowd. When the two returned home, Jian Yao couldn't help laughing.
Huo Yan asked curiously: "What are you laughing at?"
Jian Yao frowned: "Do you remember the first time we met? You were also surrounded by them, but it was different then than now."
At that time, everyone in Huo Yan was shouting and beating, but now Huo Yan is a star.
But Huo Yan has not changed from the beginning to the end, he has always treated people with sincerity, and it is those who surround him that have changed.
Huo Yan's gaze was very gentle, he slightly lowered his eyes to look at Jian Yao who was smiling, his voice was as soft as Jian Yao was a fragile porcelain doll, his louder voice could cause cracks in Jian Yao's body: "I remember .”
At that time, he had just "woke up", and when he opened his eyes, he saw Jian Yao standing in front of him with half of his body blocked.
That's when he realized he was back in his teenage years and saw a light he had never seen before.
He was about to say something, but Jian Yao had already opened his mouth first.
"My mother is coming back soon. Let's go shopping for vegetables. It won't be fresh if we go later." Jian Yao went to get a cloth bag, which was bought by Jian Anzhi, because every time I went to the market to buy vegetables, I brought back the plastic bags. There are too many bags, so I bought this bag, which can be considered as a contribution to environmental protection.
Of course Huo Yan had no objection: "Let's go."
The two walked quickly to the market. There is only one big market nearby. Because this market is too old and has not been re-planned, it is an open-air market without a roof. , The feet are covered with mud, so the whole market floor is covered with muddy water.
In the past, Jian Yao seldom bought groceries. He always went to cheap restaurants where he could eat for ten yuan.
If you are lucky and there is a construction site nearby, there is also a self-service boxed lunch, which is cheap and large. As for whether it is clean or not, whether the ingredients used are good, it is completely out of Jian Yao's consideration. As long as the food is not dead, there is meat and vegetables, then OK.
So when buying vegetables, Huo Yan picks and chooses, and Jian Yao learns from the side.
Huo Yan knows which dishes are fresh and which are not, what the price should be, and how to bargain.
Every time before entering the market with Huo Yan, Jian Yao felt that he could definitely learn the skill of buying vegetables, and every time he left the market, he still didn't know the difference between the vegetables Huo Yan picked and those that were not picked.
It was also Huo Yan who did the cooking at noon—it was true that Jian Yao could cook, but it definitely had nothing to do with delicious food.
After all, he learned to cook by himself to save money, and searching online is also the most time-saving and labor-saving method, and he didn't go for the delicious food in the first place.
Jian Yao stood in the kitchen and praised: "I think if you become a cook, you will definitely be a master chef."
The salary of a chef is not low. Jian Yao knows that the salary of hotel chefs in first-tier cities can be tens of thousands a month.
If you can open a relatively high-end Chinese restaurant by yourself, the income will be even more expensive.
Huo Yan cut the vegetables and said, "I never thought about being a chef, but it's okay for you to be a chef."
Jian Yao smiled and said, "I can't afford to pay you."
Huo Yan pursed his lips, but didn't say what came to his lips.
When Jian Anzhi arrived home, the meals had already been prepared. She went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and the family gathered around the dining table to eat.
Originally, Jian Anzhi rarely mentioned his life experience in front of Huo Yan, nor did he ask him about his future plans, but today Jian Anzhi just sat down, and said with worry on his face: "When I just came back, I saw a car at the door. car."
A luxury car that shouldn't have appeared in this small county.
Different from the sports cars and brand-name models that young people like to drive, that luxury car is obviously more popular among middle-aged people. It is not so high-profile, but more expensive and luxurious. Jian Anzhi has been here for a while, and knows that the rich people in the county What kind of car do people like to drive.
It will definitely not be a car worth tens of millions, even if you can afford it, you will not be willing to buy it.
Jian Anzhi didn't continue, but both Huo Yan and Jian Yao understood what she meant—people from the Zhou family are here.
After such a long time, they were finally "ready" to come and pick up Huo Yan.
Jian Yao looked at Huo Yan, he was a little nervous.
He didn't know whether Huo Yan would go back, but at least it was written in the book that Huo Yan returned to Zhou's house.
But during this period of time, many things did not proceed according to the plot in the book, Jian Yao looked at Huo Yan expectantly.
Huo Yan also felt Jian Yao's worried and expectant eyes, he sandwiched a piece of sweet and sour pork tenderloin for Jian Yao, and said in a calm but forceful voice: "I will not go with them."
Jian Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
There was a smile on his face again: "That's good, let's eat first, I'm already hungry."
It's just that before the meal was finished, uninvited guests came to the door.
When the doorbell rang, Jian Yao's chopsticks that were still hanging in the air stopped. He turned his head and stared at the door as if there was a monster outside. It was Jian Anzhi who stood up and opened the door.
When the gate was opened, two middle-aged men were standing at the gate of the courtyard.
They are all wearing big-name suits, which are more like tailor-made clothes than ready-made clothes, and they will definitely not be regarded as buying insurance.
But Jian Anzhi also saw at a glance that none of these two people was Zhou Sheng.
More like Zhou Sheng's assistant or secretary.
"Hello." The two were very polite, looking humble and gentle, with gift bags in their hands.
Maybe he had already inquired about where Huo Yan lives now and who is around him, and the brand logo was printed on the gift bag.
Even if Jian Anzhi has no pursuit of luxury goods, he can still recognize this brand, and he also knows that the most basic bags of this brand cost 10,000+.
But obviously Zhou Sheng arranged for someone to give gifts, and he definitely wouldn't give the basic money.
"What's the matter?" Jian Anzhi stood at the door, she did not open the door, but asked knowingly.
The two middle-aged men had prepared the draft before they came, one of them kept quiet, and the other said: "We are here to find Huo Yan, we have something to talk to him about."
Jian Anzhi: "Why didn't Zhou Sheng come in person? None of his own sons are worthy of his own visit?"
The two smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Zhou is very busy now. After all, he is not himself, but the boss of the group."
Jian Anzhi didn't believe such words at all, Zhou Sheng must have come, but he was not prepared to come by himself.
Otherwise, why drive such a luxury car?Even if the two men in front of them earn millions a year, there is no reason why they would buy tens of millions of cars.
Because they don't look like executives.
Jian Anzhi: "Since he didn't come, I can't let you in."
"It's not that Huo Yan doesn't have relatives and friends, he's even more easily bullied."
The two looked at each other, but they still insisted on persuading Jian Anzhi, making Zhou Sheng the most busy person in the world, and he had to be busy. If he wasn't busy, the whole group would shut down, and countless people would face unemployment. Everyone in Zhou's group is old and young, and if they lose their jobs, they can only take the whole family to die.
However, Jian Anzhi had the attitude of "don't listen, don't listen, just chant the scriptures" throughout the whole process, and didn't give in at all: "Either Zhou Sheng comes, or you all stand guard outside the door, and see when Huo Yan can come out."
The two of them are at a loss now, they can guard, but they don't know if Huo Yan is in the house now, if Huo Yan is not there, Jian Anzhi calls Huo Yan to tell him not to go home, then the guard will be in vain.
The two looked at each other again, and this time they did not persuade or force, but said with a good attitude: "We will tell Mr. Zhou."
Jian Anzhi watched them leave before returning home.
As soon as she opened the door, Jian Yao, who was eavesdropping on the door, lost his support and fell forward. Huo Yan, who was standing behind him, reacted quickly and pulled him to prevent Jian Yao from falling.
The door is specially paved with stone slabs, no matter how it falls, it will knock out a tooth.
After Jian Yao stood firm, he immediately gave Jian Anzhi a thumbs up, and Bai Fang burst out laughing: "Mom, well said!"
Jian Anzhi rolled her eyes: "Anyway, I'm also your mother, how can I let you two children talk to them."
But Jian Anzhi looked at Huo Yan hesitantly before walking in.
She is different from Jian Yao, she believes that Huo Yan's nature is good and kind, but she doesn't think Huo Yan is harmless like Jian Yao.
Her parents had told her that sometimes the worst people to mess with seemed to have no boundaries.
Because you never know when he will explode and lose his mind.
Huo Yan just smiled at Jian Anzhi, as if to reassure him.
After night fell, Jian Yao sat on the balcony and read a book with Huo Yan—their reading tastes were exactly the same, what Jian Yao liked to read, Huo Yan also liked to read, they would chat about the plots and metaphors in the book, and the ambiguity between the lines. Revealed values of the times.
Jian Yao sometimes feels that the person who understands him best in this world should be Huo Yan.
"I'll go out for a while." Huo Yan suddenly stood up.
Jian Yao looked up strangely: "Where are you going?"
Huo Yan put the book back on the shelf: "Go to the supermarket to buy something to eat."
Jian Yao didn't doubt it either. After all, he and Huo Yan had to eat supper every night. The two young men always finished eating the instant noodles they bought home within a few days, let alone ham.
"Then be careful when you come back." Jian Yao, "I'm worried that they will block you on the way."
Huo Yan said with a smile: "It's so late, it's impossible."
Jian Yao stood up: "Then I will go with you."
Anyway, he was worried that Huo Yan would go out alone, so instead of exhorting too much, he might as well go with Huo Yan.
Huo Yan: "No, you happened to wash your clothes at home."
Jian Yao: "There is a washing machine, we just put our clothes into the washing machine when we go out."
Huo Yan: "..."
"Xiao Yao, I have to talk to them." Huo Yan could only tell his plan.
Jian Yao frowned: "But...but..."
After waiting for a while, he found that he couldn't find a chance to stop Huo Yan. He couldn't tell about his origin, at least he wasn't ready to confess completely.
And Huo Yan also promised him that he would not go back to Zhou's house.
Just talking to the Zhou family.
Especially for the questions accumulated over the years, Huo Yan may also want to ask them clearly once.
"Okay." Jian Yao's brows stretched.
Yes, he is Huo Yan's friend, but Huo Yan is the master of his own life. Maybe what he thinks is good is not necessarily good for Huo Yan.
"Then you still have to pay attention to safety." Jian Yao, "Take a swing stick out?"
Huo Yan smiled and said: "Remember, you go to bed early, I have the key."
Jian Yao knew that he would never be able to fall asleep before Huo Yan came back, but in order not to worry Huo Yan, he still said: "Okay."
Then Jian Yao went downstairs with Huo Yan, watching him open the door and leave the house.
For some reason, Jian Yao suddenly felt a little empty. After Huo Yan left, he went back upstairs. He couldn't read the book he was reading just now.
Sitting on the balcony, Jian Yao recalled the little things he had with Huo Yan after he heard the news, and felt a little unbelievable for a while.
In the beginning, he actually didn't think about how to help Huo Yan. At that time, he only thought that Huo Yan was a good person, but obviously the most important thing was his own well-being, so at most it was just a reminder.
What started, he really regarded Huo Yan as a friend, he didn't want Huo Yan to go down the old path again, once Huo Yan saw the possibility of going down the old path, he was so anxious that he couldn't help himself?
Jian Yao thought about it, but he didn't think of the opportunity.
I just felt like a frog in warm water, and I got used to Huo Yan's existence unconsciously, and developed feelings for him.
And the relationship is very complicated, there is friendship, sympathy, and an inexplicable desire to protect.
Jian Yao: "..."
Maybe he is also the Holy Father himself? !
Why didn't he find out before? !
Before passing through the book, he was famous for never meddling in other people's business, lest he would hurt himself if he messed up with it, he didn't have a good heart and no fear of devotion to others.
From this point of view, it might be because of Huo Yan's charisma?
Jian Yao looked at the night sky in a daze, he didn't know how he became like this, could it be that those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black?
·
After Huo Yan stepped out of the courtyard, he walked towards a car. The car flashed double flashes for a long time, as if he was sure that he would come out.
Huo Yan's pace was unhurried, and when he walked to the front of the car, the window of the back seat was rolled down.
A familiar face appeared in Huo Yan's field of vision.
It was the face of a handsome middle-aged man. The years did not make him weak and ugly, but gave him maturity and stability. Sitting there, just tilting his head slightly, people can realize that he is in a high position. Bit height weight.
Huo Yan looked at him.
Zhou Sheng looked at this young man who was not very similar to himself, and was in a trance for a moment.
At a certain moment, he felt that Huo Yan knew him, not his face, but his person.
"Huo Yan." Zhou Sheng called out Huo Yan's name, "Come up."
Huo Yan did not refuse, he opened the car door and sat next to Zhou Sheng.
Neither of them spoke. After a few seconds, Zhou Sheng said to the driver in front, "Go to the hotel."
The driver didn't say a word, just like a robot that can't speak and has no emotion, one command and one action.
Zhou Sheng looked forward, and he didn't speak again on the way to the hotel.
Father and son sat together, but there was no warmth in their hearts.
Jian Yao stood at the door of the house, watching the people from the mental hospital get out of the car, and then controlled Yang Jinhua, who was crying and struggling, and stuffed her into the car. They also said a few words to Huo Yan, with faces with a smile.
From Jian Yao's seat, Huo Yan's voice could be heard: "My mother's condition may be a little serious."
Staff member: "We know this well, we must watch her carefully, and we won't let her hurt us."
Originally, Jian Yao didn't understand the process of sending patients to a mental hospital, but now he finally knows that not everyone with a mental disorder can be admitted to the hospital, but the family members must take the initiative to contact the hospital.
If there are no family members who are willing to contact, take care of and spend money on, then the patient really can only fend for himself.
Thinking about it this way, Yang Jinhua is still lucky, at least Huo Yan is willing to take care of her, she will not be bullied in the mental hospital, she will not be starved or cold, and she will be taken care of when she is sick.
Jian Yao walked to the side of the car and saw Yang Jinhua's face through the car window.
She is old.
In the past, even if she wore white-washed designer clothes and didn't care for her hair, she still had some energy. At that time, she looked like a shrewd middle-aged man with a little arrogance. No matter who she looked at, Her gaze is always upward.
But now she is aging at a speed visible to the naked eye. The skin on her face is loose, and the bones on her face seem to break through the thin layer of skin. Her expression is crazy, like crying, or angry, The body shape has also become thinner.
Once a person's spiritual energy is dispersed, his state will change with each passing day.
This kind of aging is not a peaceful aging, nor is it the tolerance and benevolence bestowed by time.
It is a sudden change in life, like a balloon being blown to the maximum, and suddenly a needle pierces the illusion.

But for Zhou Wenyuan, it was falling from heaven to hell.
Comparing the two, of course some people sympathized with Zhou Wenyuan.
Jian Yao recalled watching movies in the past, Thanos never felt that he was a villain. In his logic, he was saving the earth and human beings. Because of this, he was able to carry out his ideas and not be transferred by external things.

When the car from the mental hospital drove away, Jian Yao told Huo Yan what he thought.
Huo Yan was also watching Yang Jinhua leave, and he said in a very soft voice: "Perhaps there are really bad people in this world who don't think they are doing good deeds."
Jian Yao was stunned for a moment: "Then there is no logic!"

Jian Yao blinked: "It makes sense."
No wonder when reading the news before wearing a book, some people always say that reality does not need logic, because human desires have no logic.
Yang Jinhua was sent to the psychiatric hospital, and soon the ambulance came. The person who was going to be sent away this time was Huo Gan. Huo Gan was carried out from the room by the nurse on a stretcher. According to Yan, Huo Gan had a conflict with Yang Jinhua, and Yang Jinhua beat Huo Gan's head with a pot at home, and then it became like this.

"Xiao Yan! Don't forget about your brother Zhuangzi! Your brother Zhuangzi is uneducated and left without graduating from high school. You can ask him to drive a car for the leader!"
"And your sister Ling! Your sister Ling is suffering outside now! Our family has no money. Apart from taking care of your own food and drink, your sister Ling also sends money to the family every month. You should help sister Ling too!"
The neighbors surrounded Huo Yan. It was different from the last time. There were not so many people surrounding Huo Yan last time. After all, they were all just walking outside or going home. This time they all came out to watch the excitement.

It's a pity that the Zhou family's tentacles have extended to too many industries, and it is not easy to fall. Maybe he will live in this world until he is old and will not see the Zhou family fall.
It was almost noon when the neighbors finally let Huo Yan go.

Jian Yao went to get a cloth bag, which was bought by Jian Anzhi, because every time I went to the market to buy vegetables, I brought back the plastic bags. There are too many bags, so I bought this bag, which can be considered as a contribution to environmental protection.

Jian Yao smiled and said, "I can't afford to pay you."
Huo Yan pursed his lips, but didn't say what came to his lips.
When Jian Anzhi arrived home, the meals had already been prepared. She went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and the family gathered around the dining table to eat.
Originally, Jian Anzhi rarely mentioned his life experience in front of Huo Yan, nor did he ask him about his future plans, but today Jian Anzhi just sat down, and said with worry on his face: "When I just came back, I saw a car at the door. car."
A luxury car that shouldn't have appeared in this small county.
Different from the sports cars and brand-name models that young people like to drive, that luxury car is obviously more popular among middle-aged people. It is not so high-profile, but more expensive and luxurious. Jian Anzhi has been here for a while, and knows that the rich people in the county What kind of car do people like to drive.
It will definitely not be a car worth tens of millions, even if you can afford it, you will not be willing to buy it.
Jian Anzhi didn't continue, but both Huo Yan and Jian Yao understood what she meant—people from the Zhou family are here.
After such a long time, they were finally "ready" to come and pick up Huo Yan.
Jian Yao looked at Huo Yan, he was a little nervous.
He didn't know whether Huo Yan would go back, but at least it was written in the book that Huo Yan returned to Zhou's house.
But during this period of time, many things did not proceed according to the plot in the book, Jian Yao looked at Huo Yan expectantly.
Huo Yan also felt Jian Yao's worried and expectant eyes, he sandwiched a piece of sweet and sour pork tenderloin for Jian Yao, and said in a calm but forceful voice: "I will not go with them."
Jian Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
There was a smile on his face again: "That's good, let's eat first, I'm already hungry."
It's just that before the meal was finished, uninvited guests came to the door.
When the doorbell rang, Jian Yao's chopsticks that were still hanging in the air stopped. He turned his head and stared at the door as if there was a monster outside. It was Jian Anzhi who stood up and opened the door.
When the gate was opened, two middle-aged men were standing at the gate of the courtyard.
They are all wearing big-name suits, which are more like tailor-made clothes than ready-made clothes, and they will definitely not be regarded as buying insurance.
But Jian Anzhi also saw at a glance that none of these two people was Zhou Sheng.
More like Zhou Sheng's assistant or secretary.
"Hello." The two were very polite, looking humble and gentle, with gift bags in their hands.
Maybe he had already inquired about where Huo Yan lives now and who is around him, and the brand logo was printed on the gift bag.
Even if Jian Anzhi has no pursuit of luxury goods, he can still recognize this brand, and he also knows that the most basic bags of this brand cost 10,000+.
But obviously Zhou Sheng arranged for someone to give gifts, and he definitely wouldn't give the basic money.
"What's the matter?" Jian Anzhi stood at the door, she did not open the door, but asked knowingly.
The two middle-aged men had prepared the draft before they came, one of them kept quiet, and the other said: "We are here to find Huo Yan, we have something to talk to him about."
Jian Anzhi: "Why didn't Zhou Sheng come in person? None of his own sons are worthy of his own visit?"
The two smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Zhou is very busy now. After all, he is not himself, but the boss of the group."
Jian Anzhi didn't believe such words at all, Zhou Sheng must have come, but he was not prepared to come by himself.
Otherwise, why drive such a luxury car?Even if the two men in front of them earn millions a year, there is no reason why they would buy tens of millions of cars.
Because they don't look like executives.
Jian Anzhi: "Since he didn't come, I can't let you in."
"It's not that Huo Yan doesn't have relatives and friends, he's even more easily bullied."
The two looked at each other, but they still insisted on persuading Jian Anzhi, making Zhou Sheng the most busy person in the world, and he had to be busy. If he wasn't busy, the whole group would shut down, and countless people would face unemployment. Everyone in Zhou's group is old and young, and if they lose their jobs, they can only take the whole family to die.
However, Jian Anzhi had the attitude of "don't listen, don't listen, just chant the scriptures" throughout the whole process, and didn't give in at all: "Either Zhou Sheng comes, or you all stand guard outside the door, and see when Huo Yan can come out."
The two of them are at a loss now, they can guard, but they don't know if Huo Yan is in the house now, if Huo Yan is not there, Jian Anzhi calls Huo Yan to tell him not to go home, then the guard will be in vain.
The two looked at each other again, and this time they did not persuade or force, but said with a good attitude: "We will tell Mr. Zhou."
Jian Anzhi watched them leave before returning home.
As soon as she opened the door, Jian Yao, who was eavesdropping on the door, lost his support and fell forward. Huo Yan, who was standing behind him, reacted quickly and pulled him to prevent Jian Yao from falling.
The door is specially paved with stone slabs, no matter how it falls, it will knock out a tooth.
After Jian Yao stood firm, he immediately gave Jian Anzhi a thumbs up, and Bai Fang burst out laughing: "Mom, well said!"
Jian Anzhi rolled her eyes: "Anyway, I'm also your mother, how can I let you two children talk to them."
But Jian Anzhi looked at Huo Yan hesitantly before walking in.
She is different from Jian Yao, she believes that Huo Yan's nature is good and kind, but she doesn't think Huo Yan is harmless like Jian Yao.
Her parents had told her that sometimes the worst people to mess with seemed to have no boundaries.
Because you never know when he will explode and lose his mind.
Huo Yan just smiled at Jian Anzhi, as if to reassure him.
After night fell, Jian Yao sat on the balcony and read a book with Huo Yan—their reading tastes were exactly the same, what Jian Yao liked to read, Huo Yan also liked to read, they would chat about the plots and metaphors in the book, and the ambiguity between the lines. Revealed values of the times.
Jian Yao sometimes feels that the person who understands him best in this world should be Huo Yan.
"I'll go out for a while." Huo Yan suddenly stood up.
Jian Yao looked up strangely: "Where are you going?"
Huo Yan put the book back on the shelf: "Go to the supermarket to buy something to eat."
Jian Yao didn't doubt it either. After all, he and Huo Yan had to eat supper every night. The two young men always finished eating the instant noodles they bought home within a few days, let alone ham.
"Then be careful when you come back." Jian Yao, "I'm worried that they will block you on the way."
Huo Yan said with a smile: "It's so late, it's impossible."
Jian Yao stood up: "Then I will go with you."
Anyway, he was worried that Huo Yan would go out alone, so instead of exhorting too much, he might as well go with Huo Yan.
Huo Yan: "No, you happened to wash your clothes at home."
Jian Yao: "There is a washing machine, we just put our clothes into the washing machine when we go out."
Huo Yan: "..."
"Xiao Yao, I have to talk to them." Huo Yan could only tell his plan.
Jian Yao frowned: "But...but..."
After waiting for a while, he found that he couldn't find a chance to stop Huo Yan. He couldn't tell about his origin, at least he wasn't ready to confess completely.
And Huo Yan also promised him that he would not go back to Zhou's house.
Just talking to the Zhou family.
Especially for the questions accumulated over the years, Huo Yan may also want to ask them clearly once.
"Okay." Jian Yao's brows stretched.
Yes, he is Huo Yan's friend, but Huo Yan is the master of his own life. Maybe what he thinks is good is not necessarily good for Huo Yan.
"Then you still have to pay attention to safety." Jian Yao, "Take a swing stick out?"
Huo Yan smiled and said: "Remember, you go to bed early, I have the key."
Jian Yao knew that he would never be able to fall asleep before Huo Yan came back, but in order not to worry Huo Yan, he still said: "Okay."
Then Jian Yao went downstairs with Huo Yan, watching him open the door and leave the house.
For some reason, Jian Yao suddenly felt a little empty. After Huo Yan left, he went back upstairs. He couldn't read the book he was reading just now.
Sitting on the balcony, Jian Yao recalled the little things he had with Huo Yan after he heard the news, and felt a little unbelievable for a while.
In the beginning, he actually didn't think about how to help Huo Yan. At that time, he only thought that Huo Yan was a good person, but obviously the most important thing was his own well-being, so at most it was just a reminder.
What started, he really regarded Huo Yan as a friend, he didn't want Huo Yan to go down the old path again, once Huo Yan saw the possibility of going down the old path, he was so anxious that he couldn't help himself?
Jian Yao thought about it, but he didn't think of the opportunity.
I just felt like a frog in warm water, and I got used to Huo Yan's existence unconsciously, and developed feelings for him.
And the relationship is very complicated, there is friendship, sympathy, and an inexplicable desire to protect.
Jian Yao: "..."
Maybe he is also the Holy Father himself? !
Why didn't he find out before? !
Before passing through the book, he was famous for never meddling in other people's business, lest he would hurt himself if he messed up with it, he didn't have a good heart and no fear of devotion to others.
From this point of view, it might be because of Huo Yan's charisma?
Jian Yao looked at the night sky in a daze, he didn't know how he became like this, could it be that those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black?
·
After Huo Yan stepped out of the courtyard, he walked towards a car. The car flashed double flashes for a long time, as if he was sure that he would come out.
Huo Yan's pace was unhurried, and when he walked to the front of the car, the window of the back seat was rolled down.
A familiar face appeared in Huo Yan's field of vision.
It was the face of a handsome middle-aged man. The years did not make him weak and ugly, but gave him maturity and stability. Sitting there, just tilting his head slightly, people can realize that he is in a high position. Bit height weight.
Huo Yan looked at him.
Zhou Sheng looked at this young man who was not very similar to himself, and was in a trance for a moment.
At a certain moment, he felt that Huo Yan knew him, not his face, but his person.
"Huo Yan." Zhou Sheng called out Huo Yan's name, "Come up."
Huo Yan did not refuse, he opened the car door and sat next to Zhou Sheng.
Neither of them spoke. After a few seconds, Zhou Sheng said to the driver in front, "Go to the hotel."
The driver didn't say a word, just like a robot that can't speak and has no emotion, one command and one action.
Zhou Sheng looked forward, and he didn't speak again on the way to the hotel.
Father and son sat together, but there was no warmth in their hearts.
