The cold tablemate is a bamboo horse

After leaving school, Wen Yan got on the bus.

When he got out of the car, someone stopped him: "Xiaoyan."

There is a black commercial vehicle parked at the gate of the community, the license plate number is eight eight.The driver is in his 40s and is dressed in professional attire.Years of business habits have made his gentle and modest smile reveal a gloomy and sophisticated look.

Lin Peng looked at the bus leaving calmly, and said with a smile: "It should be a holiday, your father asked me to pick you up."

Wen Yan stood there for a few seconds, walked over and called "Uncle Lin".

"Hey, I haven't seen you for two months, I seem to have lost weight."

Lin Peng smiled kindly: "Hurry up and get in the car, your Aunt Chi is still at home waiting for you to go back. Mrs. Zhang cooked your favorite fish, and Chi Nan is also home from school today, and brought some friends back to play... "

"Uncle Lin."

Wen Yan had no choice but to interrupt him: "I don't want to go back."

Lin Peng looked at Wen Yan and sighed helplessly.

As the driver of Chi's family, Wen Yan was the one he watched and grew up with. He has been more sensitive and delicate than others since he was a child. He never said anything and hid everything in his heart. He was so cute that it made people feel distressed.

He really likes this kid from the bottom of his heart.

"Xiaoyan, there is no overnight feud between father and son. No matter what, that is your only home."

Wen Yan is good in everything, except that his mother has inherited his temper, and he is very stubborn, just like Wen Yan has never called Chi Ji "Dad" for more than ten years.

...Maybe he shouted it before, when he led the ignorant Wen Yan into Chi's house, the innocence and enthusiasm in the child's eyes were real.

It's just to blame...God tricks people, what a child.

After a long silence, Wen Yan whispered, "Uncle Lin...do you also think I was wrong?"

Is it wrong to like boys?

Is it wrong to be different?

The world is either black or white. In the secular world, once a contradictory black appears, everyone will think it is wrong.

It is also difficult for an upright official to decide on housework. Lin Peng sighed deeply. This is the first time he has encountered such a difficult problem in all the years he has been in the mall.

"Xiaoyan, it's not wrong to like boys, your dad just needs some time to accept it."

...

Chi's villa is located in the quiet suburb of the city, with white western-style buildings hidden among them, and artificial rockeries emerging one after another.The distant mountains are surrounded by green clouds and mist, and the water pavilions and pavilions are trickling. This is a paradise for the rich.

In the evening, Chi's car drove slowly into the solemn gate of the villa, and bodyguards came and opened the door respectfully.

Hearing the movement, someone in the hall ran out first.

"It's good if you come...it's good if you come."

The sound of weeping with joy.

The visitor was about 50 years old and plainly dressed.

Her name is Aunt Zhang, and she is an aunt of Chi's family. She has worked in Chi's family for nearly 40 years, and she also grew up watching Wen Yan.

"Okay, why are you crying when people come?" Lin Peng walked over and said, feeling relieved at the scene of this hard-won reunion.

Aunt Zhang couldn't help but secretly wiped away her tears, held Wen Yan's hand lovingly and said, "Seeing how thin you are, you must not be able to eat alone outside. No matter how busy you are with your studies, your body is still important, and you have to have time to rest... ..."

Wen Yan couldn't bear it. At the beginning, he was too decisive to leave, and he didn't think about the feelings of those who cared about him.Now that I come back here after two months, I suddenly feel that things are different.

"Aunt Zhang, I'm sorry to worry you. I'm doing fine."

"At the beginning, I came back once a week, but now I don't come back for several months. This is your home, where else can you go..."

Aunt Zhang took Wen Yan's hand and entered the room.Her child died young and never had another child. She devoted her whole life to the Chi family, treating the three children of the Chi family as if they had already been born.

Now one has left the country, the other has moved out, and the other family has suddenly become deserted.

In the restaurant, the chef had almost finished serving the dishes. Chi Nan was lying on the sofa and making a phone call. When he saw the person at the door, he immediately hung up the phone in a low mood.

"Aunt Zhang, is the food ready? I'm going to starve to death!"

This eldest lady has been spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, and she will lose her temper when things go wrong.

She is Chi Ji's youngest daughter, only two years behind Wen Yan.The princess who was pampered in the greenhouse was extremely proud.

"Xiao Nan is hungry, everyone hurry up and eat."

Knowing this young lady's temperament, Mrs. Zhang immediately started to talk about it.

Wen Yan went upstairs to put his schoolbag.His room is on the far side of the second floor, next to Chi Sui's.

The room was very clean, it was obvious that someone had cleaned it every day, and the furnishings were exactly the same as when we left.

When she went downstairs, she ran into Lin Jia, and Wen Yan called out "Aunt Chi".

Lin Jia is over 40 this year, but the years have not shown any traces on her face, and she is well maintained.

It's just autumn, wearing a ferret coat, his face doesn't look very good, and his whole body is listless.

She glanced at Wen Yan, and responded calmly: "Yes."

Chi Ji's company was a little late today because of something, so the three of them waited in the living room.

More than ten minutes later, there was the sound of a car outside, and Chi Ji Fengchen hurriedly opened the door and entered the house, saying, "Everyone is here, let's eat."

In the past few years, the late season business has grown bigger and busier.A man stands at thirty, but Chi Ji has already supported half of Ning Cheng's sky before he was thirty.The ambitious person, by marrying the mayor's daughter, namely Lin Jia, quickly gained a foothold in Ningcheng, and once became the hottest "popular person" in Ningcheng.

Maybe people are like this. Now that their career has reached the top, their spirit will be empty.

In the early years, Chi Ji was ashamed of Wen Yu, and Wen Yan looked exactly like Wen Yu, and he has been making up for it for more than ten years.

The dinner table was very quiet, and Chi Ji's expression could not hide his exhaustion, but it was not difficult to see that he was happy: "Next year will be the last year, so we should hurry up and make plans early. Xiaoyan, I don't have to worry, Nannan... ..."

"You don't have to worry about my affairs!"

After Chi Nan ate two bites, he put down his chopsticks.

The father and daughter have been at odds for a long time, and they can always quarrel over trivial matters at home.

Chi Ji's face darkened: "I don't worry about who cares, I don't stay at home every day, what does a girl's family look like! Are there any rules!"

"Whatever it looks like! It's better than you anyway."

"I'm your father, how can you talk to me like that!"

"You still know you are my father."

Chi Nan stood up and pushed away the chair. The chair rubbed against the ground and made a harsh "crash" sound: "I don't want to eat, I have no appetite."

"stop!"

Chi Ji was so angry that his hands shook: "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, you have to quarrel with me."

Chi Nan felt at a loss, turned around and went upstairs.

After a good meal like this, the servants in the living room were silent.Chi Ji couldn't calm down, he glanced at Lin Jia who stayed out of the matter the whole time, and said, "Look at your beautiful daughter".

I don't know how this sentence angered Lin Jia, Lin Jia's expression turned cold, and she threw down her chopsticks with a "snap": "What is my daughter, she is not your surname Chi."

Chi Ji had three children under his name, but none of them looked like him.Wen Yan followed Wen Yu, with a cold temper, neither fighting nor grabbing.Chi Nan followed Lin Jia, spoiled and irritable, and couldn't stand it.

Chi Sui doesn't know who he is with, he is humble and gentle, which is not at all like Chi Ji's businessman nature.

The mother and daughter became more irritable than the other. Chi Ji felt irritable and said in a low voice, "I just said one thing, what are you in a hurry for?"

Lin Jia also stood up, and put down her chopsticks coldly: "Don't eat, I have a headache."

Too busy to turn around outside, and being angry at home, Chi Ji almost laughed angrily, and said again and again: "Yes, they don't want to eat us. It's a waste of this table."

Everyone in the family was causing trouble for him, and Chi Ji couldn't hold his breath. Thinking that Wen Yan was still sensible, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved, and then he thought of the incident between him and Wen Yan two months ago, and his heart suddenly felt heavy. Like being blocked by a boulder.

Usually he is the quietest and most sensible person, but he did not expect such a deviant person to appear in the end.

"Boys at your age are curious about everything and want to try everything. Once the novelty is over, you don't like it anymore."

"I think back when I was your age, I wanted to play all over the world. Finally, when I got older, I realized that most of us live an ordinary life, and few of us will live what we really want. "

"Now that you are still young, you can slowly figure out many things. Don't wait until you really make a mistake in the future before it's too late."

Chi Ji Xiaozhi spoke a long speech with emotion and reason, but the gentle words on the table were all silent.

They are both like father and son but not like father and son. There is less intimacy and more estrangement.Respectful and polite, humble and good.

"If you make a mistake, just correct it. Who didn't make a mistake when they were young."

Chi Ji continued: "There are countless mistakes in life, you need to explore slowly, but in the end you can only choose the right one..."

"Then is it your fault too?" Wen Yan said suddenly.

The person who had been chattering just now fell silent instantly, and both of them knew who this "she" was referring to.

In fact, Wen Yan seldom mentioned Wen Yu in front of Chi Ji. From the time when he was sent to Chi's house, Wen Yan never mentioned the name "Wen Yu", and he never even cried.

Why was he sent to the "Chi family", why Chi Nan didn't like him, why Chi Ji and Lin Jia always quarreled, so many "why", he didn't ask any of them.

All he knew was that from the day he was sent to Chi's house, that gentle woman whom he called "Mother" had left forever.

I don't know how old he was, but he suddenly understood the eyes of those people, sizing up, probing, disdainful, and contemptuous.

To them, he is the inserter, the destroyer and the intolerant.

All they do is do what they think is "right".

There are many people who Chi Ji has been sorry to in his life, Lin Jia, Wen Yu, Chi Nan, competitors... But only for Wen Yan, he doesn't know what to do, Wen Yan doesn't know anything.

"Your mother is fine...I'm sorry for her."

The author says:

Let me explain, Chi Ji was dating Wen Yu by concealing her married status, and after learning the truth, she chose to leave alone while pregnant.

It wasn't until Wen Yu's unexpected death that Chi Ji knew about the child and chose to take Wen Yan back to Chi's home.

(Let's just say something softly, Wen Yan's dowry was prepared by Lin Jia.)
