Jiangzhu's Summer

In the evening of the second day, the heavy rain came suddenly.

In the afternoon, it was still bright and sunny, but when a gust of wind passed through the sky, it suddenly darkened, and the big raindrops hit the ground, making a dense sound.

City S has not experienced such a heavy rain for a long time, Jiang Chenyu looked at the dark cloud-covered sky in the distance, frowned, and planned to cancel today's dinner.

When the phone call came, Xu Mumu was crying and howling, only saying how hard it was to get a seat in that restaurant, and Jiang Chenyu was too lazy to talk to him, so he had to go to the appointment.

It was still early before the appointed time, and he had nothing to do. He stood on the balcony, leaning on the handrail, staring at the road and the brightly lit buildings in the distance.

The shuttle vehicles were hazy in the dense rain, making it difficult to see clearly.Raindrops splashed up and touched his eyelashes, and the light in his eyes became a blurred hexagon, dancing in the field of vision, like a ball of orange warm flame.

He suddenly thought, what is Zhu Jingci doing now?

Jiang Xiaomao came over and rubbed against his feet.He knelt down and scratched its round chin, regretting that Zhu Jingci hadn't come up with it the last time we parted.

He could see the longing and cowardice in this man's eyes every time, but he pretended not to see it, and waited to see when he couldn't help but say it himself.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you take the initiative to invite me." He shook Jiang Kitten's paw, "You still have visitation rights to your children after divorce, and the single-parent family is not very good for your growing environment, right?"

"Meow!" You didn't say that last time.

"Then let's do it. For your sake, invite him in next time." Jiang Chenyu nodded his round cat's head and decided on his own.

Jiang Chenyu arrived a little early, and sat on the seat waiting for others.The seat was next to the window, and he was bored, so he watched the rain through the glass.He took a breath of white air on the glass, stretched out his finger and drew a kitten casually.The tail is curled around the feet, and the head is tilted, with a sly look showing a little complacency.Looking at it, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

Xu Mumu came late, and only Chen Kexin was with her. Chen Kexin explained apologetically, "I'm sorry, my roommate was temporarily called away by the tutor for the meeting, so I can't come."

"It's okay." Jiang Chenyu didn't mind too much. He decided to control this game for the sake of this girl and himself. It doesn't matter if there are others.

It was a bit far to get off the car just now, the two of them only brought an umbrella, Xu Mumu was clever at this time, and used the umbrella to cover Chen Kexin tightly, half of his shoulder was completely drenched.

The waiter came over thoughtfully and said that there is a special dryer next to the bathroom, which can help guests dry their clothes.Xu Mumu went to deal with it, and asked Jiang Chen to order food for them first, without waiting for him.

The waiter brought a menu and handed it to the ladies present.Chen Kexin flipped through the pages and asked casually, "Does Chenyu have any recommendations? Mumu said you often come here."

Jiang Chenyu was hesitating whether to send a message to Zhu Jingci, and replied indifferently, "I haven't been here twice, it's okay, it depends on your taste."

Chen Kexin noticed the absent-mindedness of the person opposite, smiled, looked down at the menu, and said nothing.

Jiang Chenyu felt in a daze as if a line of sight fell on him, and he seemed to turn his head to look outside. The restaurant was opposite the road, and the rain was too heavy, and there was a faint figure, but he couldn't see clearly.When I wanted to take a closer look, the figure disappeared again.

He didn't pay much attention to it, he just thought he was paranoid.

When Zhu Jingci got into the car, his black suit was drenched through, and he showed no expression. He only asked the driver to drive without saying a word.

The driver was a little apprehensive. When the company held a board meeting in the afternoon, Mr. Zhu had a cold face when he was called over. After looking at his phone, he slammed the door out of the meeting room. After getting in the car, he told him to drive to this restaurant.

He originally thought that Xiao Zhu always invited some girl to eat here, but he didn't expect that after getting out of the car, he stayed somewhere for 10 minutes and then came back, his expression became even worse.

The driver boldly asked, "Sir, where are we going now?"

Zhu Jingci was sitting in the back seat, with his head slightly tilted back, and he covered his face with his hands. After a while, a muffled voice with no ups and downs came, "Go to Hongxiang Community."

Hongxiang Community is an old community next to S University. The driver didn't know what to do there in the middle of the night, so he didn't dare to ask, so he had to drive in silence.

The oppressive atmosphere in the carriage was broken by the ringing of the mobile phone.Zhu Jingci fished out the phone, glanced at the caller, sneered ambiguously, and hung up.

After a pause, the phone rang again persistently, Zhu Jingci heard it impatiently, and directly turned the phone on silent.

The phone screen lit up on the car seat for a while, and finally went dark, and there was no more movement.

Zhu Jingci closed his eyes and leaned on the back seat, pinching the space between his brows with his fingers, wondering what he was thinking.After a while, the piercing cell phone rang again, this time it was the driver's cell phone.

The driver glanced at the caller, a little startled, and peeked at the person in the back seat from the rearview mirror nervously, and found that Zhu Jingci had opened his eyes, and his sharp eyes met him, he couldn't help being shocked, relying on Stopped the car on the side of the road.

He picked up the phone, listened to some instructions from the person on the other end of the phone, and replied in a respectful tone, then turned his head, bravely handed the phone to the person in the back seat, "The old man asked you to listen to the phone. "

Zhu Jingci still leaned there, and didn't immediately reach for the phone.There was a car passing by outside the window, and the light flickered past his face through the window. His face was hidden in the flickering light, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

The driver didn't dare to urge him, so he held up the phone and froze there.

After some time, he straightened up, raised the corner of his mouth mockingly, and reached out to take the phone.

The person on the other end of the phone was hung up many times and hung up for a while. He was already full of anger, but was forced to hold back for some reason, and tried his best to suppress and said, "Why didn't you answer the phone?"

"did not hear it."

"If you're looking for an excuse, at least find someone decent!" The voice on the other side suddenly became louder, and he couldn't help but get angry.

"You already know it's an excuse, why are you asking?" Zhu Jingci leaned back on the car seat again, signaling the driver to continue driving with his eyes.

"..." Mr. Zhu was so choked that he had no choice but to let go of the question, "You went too far in the board meeting today, and your uncles and seniors are on the opposite side. Let's see what you said?"

"Oh? When they dealt with me, they didn't see the appearance of an elder. Now they want to show the score of an elder in front of me." He spoke in a very soft voice, with a relaxed and good temper. , as if the old man Zhu opposite was just an ignorant naughty kid.

"You..." Mr. Zhu was at a loss for words, and his words were rarely confident, "They did it wrong at the beginning, but after so many years, they also know that they were wrong, so you can't stop and let them go Is there a way out?"

The way of life, Zhu Jingci's face was hidden in the darkness, and he sneered silently, "When these people dealt with Jiang Chenyu and me, they didn't think of leaving me a way of life, grandpa."

He bit the last two words very hard, each word with a laughing sound, and Mr. Zhu on the other end of the phone couldn't help shivering.

When he first recognized Zhu Jingci, he was as indifferent and alert as a stray cat. He refused to call anyone or get close to him.

Such a temperament is too easy to irritate others, so he will not be the heir that Mr. Zhu likes.Mr. Zhu ignored him, watched him suffer a few times under the hands of others, and waited for him to smooth his temper, like taming a disobedient hound.

Suffering too much, Zhu Jingci gradually became honest, began to please him consciously, clinging to him, calling him grandpa respectfully, no longer going against his wishes, and no longer mentioning the person he didn't like to hear .

Slowly, he took it for granted that Zhu Jingci was indeed a whim back then.Young people, who hasn't lived and died for others when they were young, it will be fine after a long time.

He was very satisfied with this. Using Jiang Chenyu as an excuse at the beginning was just a stopgap measure. In his heart, it was impossible for him to accept the existence of an heir who liked men.It is impossible for the Zhu family to have such a large family business without successors.

Master Zhu, who let go of his guard, began to resign from the company with Zhu Jing, starting from a low-level position, and asked him to teach him to be familiar with various affairs.Zhu Jingci has a very smart mind and is quick to learn about the company's affairs.Some elders in the company couldn't understand him and deliberately made things difficult for him. He was neither humble nor overbearing. He didn't complain to Mr. Zhu, and he handled it very well.

Later, Mr. Zhu was in poor health and often felt dizzy. Zhu Jingci took good care of him. He waited on him at home every day, and specially introduced a doctor friend he knew here to come for treatment at home.

The old man was skeptical at first, but the young man looked gentle, but his medical skills were really good.He felt much better after only two doses.Moreover, the young man is also proficient in massage. The old man's stubborn cervical spondylosis for many years feels much relieved, and he can't help but feel more and more satisfied with Zhu Jingci.

During his illness, Zhu Jingci went to several company meetings on his behalf, dealt with some urgent matters, and respectfully came to ask his advice on anything he didn't understand. He gradually felt relieved and began to turn a blind eye and close his eyes. Only one eye, acquiescing to Zhu Jingci to intervene in the company's core affairs.

It wasn't until a few years later that Zhu Jingci revealed his shares at the company's shareholders' meeting, and simply and neatly reshuffled the company's top management, did he belatedly realize how big a mistake he had made .

However it was too late.

He no longer has the ability to support a person who can compete with Zhu Jingci. Those offshoots of the Zhu family have long been dazzled by the flashy money of the previous years, and they have been played by Zhu Jingci one by one in the applause. Now they are in great trouble. Only then did he realize that something was wrong, so he came to him crying for help.

But what can he do?He is just holding a title in vain now, and the power in his hands has long been deprived.

Now, he had to admit that he was driven to a dead end by the heir he had single-handedly trained.

As early as the very beginning, he should have understood that Zhu Jingci is not a hound, he is clearly a young eagle.You think that if you pull out his claws and cut off his wings, he will be obedient, but in fact, he is just temporarily submissive, an eagle is still an eagle, and those who try to tame him will be pecked at the eye sooner or later.

He still remembers that day, when Zhu Jingci came home early on a rare occasion, he stood in front of him in a suit and leather shoes, and said with a smile, "Thanks to my grandfather for so many years of cultivation, Jingci is very grateful." His tone was so sincere, as if everything he said It is the same from the heart.

Because of the suppressed anger, the old man said indiscriminately, "I shouldn't have recognized you back then, and I shouldn't have softened my heart to you, and let you stab me in the back now." His voice was full of remorse and resentment.

Zhu Jingci looked unaffected at all, and smiled as usual, "You are wrong, you should not have spared my life, you should have done it earlier when I was young, and there is no such thing as today. "

He raised his hand to adjust his tie, and dragged out the suitcase from his own room next to him.

"Are you leaving? Where are you going?" The old man looked at the suitcase, and a terrible guess emerged from his mind.

"Thanks to you," Zhu Jingci sighed softly, with a bit of distress, "I have to coax my lover back now."

He pulls the box and walks without looking back, brisk on his feet, keeping the insults and growls behind him.

After going round and round, he was finally able to return to the other side of the ocean to attend an appointment that was late for many, many years.It was midsummer there, with wind and rain, and there was a sweetheart he missed.
