What a pity to miss the rebirth

Han Qiubai, he had heard of this name before.

When Liu Yingnian was 44 years old, Lin Shu was 23 years old. At that time, as the CEO in his prime, he was invited to the old city to participate in the three-year "Shuangcheng Business Figure Award Ceremony". He was a frequent guest of this award ceremony. , who has dual roles, both the recipient and the award presenter.

"Father, this year the organizers are really willing to spend their money. They even invited rich and antique families from the old city." Lin Shu still pays attention to his image when he is outside, and won't be as clingy to him as he is at home, but basically Or turn around him, stay away if you can.

"Yeah, these people can't be easily invited." Liu Yingnian and his son walked around, greeted all the acquaintances, and stood in a corner with fewer people, each holding a glass of red wine, talking leisurely The hottest topic at today's awards ceremony.

Xiao Lin and Chuqiu of the four families in the old city are all well-known underworld families. The aristocratic family, under the leadership of the four patriarchs, has completely controlled the underworld forces in the old and new cities for more than ten years.

On the bright side, these four are also well-deserved four major consortiums in the old city. Relying on their strong background, they have monopolized the most profitable industries. Their strong economic power makes them well-deserved business hegemons. Accumulation, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are a wealthy family.

The merchants are greedy and greedy, and there is nothing to gain. The heads of several families who have never attended this kind of award ceremony in person unexpectedly appeared together for the first time. What is greasy in it is naturally worth thinking about.

"Father, is this the first time we've seen those people?" Lin Shu, who was slowly sipping the red wine, glanced in the direction of the four heads of the old city.

"It should be." Liu Yingnian thought for a while and said, "It was possible to see pictures and news related to them more than ten years ago, but since they became the head of the family, almost all traces of the past that can be erased have been erased. Few of their photos have been released to the market in the past ten years."

What he meant was naturally, don't talk about real people, you can't even see the photos of those people if you want to see them.

Those four patriarchs are not ordinary people, usually just their names are in the news, but few newspapers and magazines dare to publish their appearance, unless they don’t want to die, they don’t even care about their family, relatives and friends, but even if that’s the case, try your best Logging out, at most, is a matter of minutes, and people can still forcefully erase everything by lifting a finger, destroying your whole family without leaving traces.

It’s not that there are no such cases, there are too many, there are always three or five cases, those revolutionary pioneers who boasted of freedom of the press all fell heroically in the end, and the end was more miserable than the other, but no one will do this kind of thing Put it on the table and say that they communicate with each other in private, knowing it well.

Lin Shu nodded, and stopped looking at those dazzling people.

Another person came to their corner and stopped not far from them, and then there was a low voice of conversation.

"It is said that the Patriarch of the Xiao family is the most beautiful in Shuangcheng. I didn't believe it before, but now that I saw it with my own eyes, I realized that it really deserves its reputation." One of them said.

"Yes, the Patriarch of the Xiao family is really the most beautiful man I have ever seen in my life." Another person said with emotion, "If a man looks like this, if it weren't for his identity, I don't know how many bloody storms would have been caused."

"I heard that he is a bisexual, can take all men and women, and has a lot of big and small lovers."

"He has a lot of money and a lot of money to support him. Besides, with his appearance, let alone support, it is a subsidy. I don't know how many people are vying to climb into his bed."

"A person who is clearly over half a hundred looks too young. Some people believe that he is only 30 years old..."

"Did you know that there is a man next to him who has been with him for ten years, and it is said that he was snatched..."

Liu Yingnian amusedly listened to the topics these people talked about getting farther and farther away. Although the four families in the old city were scary, in their eyes, they were also full of mystery and unknown. Every small topic could be regarded as a long time internal conversations.

But it is undeniable that Xiao Jingliu, the patriarch of the Xiao family, is indeed unbelievably beautiful.

"People are better than people..." Liu Yingnian shook his head and sighed softly. Time is eccentric. It treats some people favorably and keeps them young forever, but it is still harsh on others. He is ten years younger than the Patriarch of the Xiao family, but the two If people stand together, everyone will say that Xiao Jingliu is ten years younger than him.

He is old, even his son has grown up like this...

"You are not old." Lin Shu seemed to see through his emotions, looked at him sideways, his dark eyes were deep and bright, like stars in the night sky, and whispered to his ear: "Father, no matter what you become , you are the most beautiful in my heart, and I will love you."

this kid...

Old Liu Yingnian's face became hot all of a sudden, he pretended to cough twice, pulled away a little distance, and said not very harshly: "Is there anyone who talks to Dad like that? You don't look serious."

Lin Shu asked, "Which sentence is not serious?"

Liu Yingnian opened his mouth and said after a long time: "Your attitude is not serious."

Lin Shu glanced at him, a curved arc appeared on his stern face, he walked past him with the corner of his lips curled up and said, "Dad, why are you so cute?"

Liu Yingnian: "..."

Lin Shu had already gone farther and farther, halfway he put the red wine glass in his hand on a table, and looked in that direction, he was going to the bathroom.

Just looking at his back, he is also an outstanding young man who cannot be ignored. Why do you raise him a little bit without knowing what is good or bad?

Liu Yingnian knew that there was something wrong with his education method, but after so many years, Lin Shu had already become his heart, eyeball, and lifeblood. He was afraid of falling when holding the stick in his hand, and afraid of melting in his mouth, so he was reluctant to scold him. He was even more reluctant to beat him, he was afraid that he would hurt if he was beaten, and he would cry if he scolded, as long as Lin Shu said a word, Liu Yingnian would agree to everything he could do.

I don't know how many times Xie Fengyou told him, Liu Yingnian, are you raising a son?You are a goddamn foster ancestor!

He loves Lin Shu so much, it hurts to the bone and blood, but he can't give Lin Shu what he wants most.

Sometimes Liu Yingnian thinks about it, and thinks this is probably fate.

Liu Yingnian wanted to smoke, so badly.

"...What are you pretending to be noble? You don't even look in the mirror. What's the difference between you and us? It's just a thing for people to ride. Do you think that you can be great if you can be by Master Xiao's side for ten years? I see you call you Saying 'Brother Han' is for Master Xiao's face, Han Qiubai, don't be ashamed, who will you show that dead face to? Do you think you can be so defiant with Master Xiao backing you up? Bitch, wake up, If Master Xiao really likes you, can you still find someone outside every day? If you still have a little self-knowledge that you are still a man, you should take the initiative to leave Master Xiao and stop pestering Master Xiao!"

The emergency exit at the farthest corner of the banquet hall, before Liu Yingnian walked in, he heard someone talking.

Through the half-open door, he saw two men confronting each other.

One with his back facing him, only half of his profile could be seen, he looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with red lips and white teeth; the other was facing him, a quiet and gentle young man in his thirties, it would be inappropriate to say that he was beautiful, But she looks quite good-looking, warm and moist like a piece of jade.

"If I were you, I would leave here immediately." The young man said lightly.

"You!" The boy looked at him very dazzlingly, "What do you think you are, but an old man, how dare you talk to me like this?"

"Old man?" A strange look flashed across the young man's face: "Xiao Jingliu is 19 years older than me, and probably nearly 40 years older than you. You even like old men who are 40 years older than you." Up? It's really surprising."

Liu Yingnian burst out laughing.

The boy's face turned pale, and he became angry from being ridiculed. He raised his hand and waved it: "Bitch!"

Liu Yingnian was already laughing out loud, so he was naturally embarrassed to continue watching the play, so he quickly went up and grabbed the boy's hand to stop him from slapping him.

"What is the occasion today that can make you mess around here?" Liu Yingnian put a serious face on his face, and said seriously: "Whose family are you from, hurry back!"

The young man glared at him, snorted hard, shook off his hand, and gave Han Qiubai a hard look before turning around and leaving.

"Are you okay?" Liu Yingnian asked.

"……thanks."

"Why don't you hide?" Liu Yingnian asked disapprovingly.

"Why do you want to hide?" Han Qiubai said lightly, his tone was too light, as if he was used to talking about this kind of thing.

Liu Yingnian gave up the idea of ​​smoking, and left the stairs first.

A man with a strong sense of aura walked towards him. He had a feminine and gorgeous appearance, and his beauty was as unspeakable as a god.

The head of the Xiao family has a face that deceives the world about his age.

He paused beside Liu Yingnian, looked at him coldly with clear and beautiful eyes, and asked in a soft and cold voice like a cold spring, "Did your hand touch him?"

That icy thorn like absolute zero is really not an oppressive force that ordinary people like Liu Yingnian can bear. He kept his composure to keep his voice from knotting up: "No."

Xiao Jingliu ignored him, brushed past him, and went straight to the person who had just stepped out of the emergency exit.

Liu Yingnian turned around and saw what he said to the young man named Han Qiubai, and then the two of them were in a stalemate face to face. A few seconds later, the Patriarch of the Xiao family pressed the young man against the wall, and kissed the quiet and gentle young man forcibly. youth.

"Father, where were you just now?" Lin Shu searched around and finally saw the person he was looking for.

"Want to smoke a cigarette," he paused, then looked over there, and there was no one there, "I didn't smoke and came back."

Liu Yingnian thought that this year's organizers might still be disappointed, after spending so much effort to invite people, they still couldn't keep them.

That was the first and only time Liu Yingnian saw Xiao Jingliu and Han Qiubai.

One month later, Liu Yingnian heard that the favorite man of the Patriarch Xiao's family in the old town had died.
