The plot collapsed after everyone thought it was rotten

Located in the detention center in the suburbs, Huo Yuanshan walked into the visiting room with some hesitation in his uniform.

He only heard that the person who came was his family, so he thought it was Huo Chuhong, but since he and Qi Birong were detained, the child only came once, and the whole time he tilted his anger, it didn't look like Looks like I'll be back.

He even thought that it was because his mother died of illness that Huo Chuhong had no choice but to come to inform him.

Having made all the mental preparations, when the door was pushed open by the prison guard, he saw clearly the person sitting quietly in the seat through the glass, but he still froze completely.

The person who came was actually Huo Chuxiao.

At first, Huo Chuxiao seemed to be getting impatient with the wait. He was swiping his phone when he noticed that the door was pushed open, so he raised his head.

Those eyes were calm, looking at Huo Yuanshan's emaciated and thin appearance, but he didn't show any emotion at all.It's like watching a passerby on the side of the road.

Huo Yuanshan didn't know how to place his hands and feet for a while, and was pushed by the prison guard before he staggered forward, pulled out the chair and sat down, but he didn't pick up the microphone for a long time.

He looked at Huo Chuxiao in shock for a long time, until Huo Chuxiao became impatient again, and took the lead in picking up the receiver before finally reacting.

A familiar but slightly distorted voice came from the receiver.

"Are you surprised?" Huo Chuxiao asked lightly.

Huo Yuanshan opened his mouth, and finally found his voice.

"You... why did you come to see me?"

Huo Chuxiao smiled and said, "Qi Birong also asked the same question."

In fact, he didn't expect that everything was just a coincidence.

After meeting Huo Chuhong by chance, he finally thought of those people in the Huo family, but he didn't have the slightest desire to understand. As he said, seeing those people plummeted was meaningless to him now.

But recently, because he was preparing works for an art exhibition, Luo Ran occasionally came to his place to help. The two of them had nothing to chat with, and Huo Chuxiao suddenly heard the other party say that he might not be able to come to him in a few days because he had to go to the detention center to visit the prison. .

Only then did he know that Luo Ran's adoptive mother, who had lost two children, had been sued by the Tang family and sent to prison. Luo Ran planned to visit her for the last time, to put an end to everything in the past.

Coincidentally, the detention center where Luo Ran's adoptive mother was located happened to be the same as Qi Birong's.

The two simply went together for a trip.

Huo Chuxiao thought about the last conversation with Huo Chuhong, and suddenly felt that maybe it was time to say goodbye to the past solemnly, and say goodbye to all the evil that appeared in his life.

In this way, he went to visit Qi Birong once.

Qi Birong was obviously not doing well in the detention center, no one there served her like a pampered rich lady, when she came to see Huo Chuxiao, her complexion was sallow, her cheeks were deeply sunken, leaving a terrifying shadow, His hair was withered, he was wearing a gray prison uniform, and the light in his eyes had disappeared.

Even when she saw Huo Chuxiao, she didn't seem to have the energy to make a surprised expression.

Qi Birong's surprise only lasted for two seconds, and soon, she showed an expression full of anger, and asked Huo Chuxiao: "Why, do you want to see my joke too!"

Huo Chuxiao couldn't help laughing, and thought that Huo Chuhong was indeed her own son.

"You've seen my jokes for 25 years, what do you say?"

Qi Birong gritted her teeth and stared at him, "That's because you are useless! Just like your mother, you are all useless people, you can be overwhelmed by a little language... I know you already know everything before, why? , want to ask if I regret it now? Let me tell you, Huo Chuxiao, even if I regret it, Shi Nian will not survive!"

The days in the detention center seemed to make her nerves a little sensitive, and she seemed to be insane out of control. She even giggled after she finished speaking, and she didn't restrain herself until she was warned by the prison guard behind her.

Huo Chuxiao remained indifferent, "It's okay, mom has left, but as her son, I will live the rest of her life for her. But you, after coming in, how many times has Chu Hong come to see you?"

Qi Birong's expression changed instantly, and she dared not answer, because the only time Huo Chuhong saw her ended with cursing her to die.

But this couldn't be seen by Huo Chuxiao, so she smiled darkly again, "At least I'm still alive. Huo Chuxiao, do you think you can beat Chuhong now? Back then your mother couldn't compare to me, Now you can't compare to him! How can you compare to him? Your skin? Or the little inheritance left to you by the Huo family? You have nothing! A stinking painter, Hua Potian, also It’s just a job for someone!”

Huo Chuxiao looked at her and suddenly felt that this woman was very pitiful.

Living in his own world, closed and pitiful.

He deliberately took a sip of water before saying: "Speaking of the Huo family's inheritance, I should also thank you. If you hadn't allowed me to leave the house, I would not be able to relax now. As for painting, the money I earned A few dollars is nothing compared to the previous Huo family, but I earned it myself and spent it steadily. And is it better than Huo Chuhong... I think being a painter is pretty good compared to a real estate agency s Choice."

Qi Birong's face was livid, and she tightly clutched the receiver and said, "What!?"

Huo Chuxiao looked directly into her eyes, "Huo Chuhong is currently working in a small real estate company with less than 50 employees, working as a low-level worker, I think you should be very clear about the income of this level of work, after all, after you and Huo Yuanshan competed Before taking over my mother's property, you were just a cabinet sister. So, should it be said that you are inheriting your mother's business?"

"Lies..." Qi Birong began to whisper in a daze, "Liar... you liar are talking nonsense!!"

The prison guard rushed up and held her down.Qi Birong struggled in embarrassment, but it didn't help.Her physical fitness can only exist at the bottom in the detention center.

However, all the suffering during this period can be supported by the belief that "Chuhong is doing well outside".The son is like her incarnation, as long as Huo Chuhong is still beautiful, she can still be beautiful.

But now, this only support was broken by someone lightly touching it.

She looked at Huo Chuxiao, wishing she could eat him.

Huo Chuxiao even looked at her with some compassion, and said after a long time: "I always thought that I didn't have any feelings for the whole Huo family, but now I find that looking at you like this is quite relieved. Since you believe so much in the unity of mother and child, then Just as my mother also saw this scene."

After he finished speaking, he nodded gracefully to the prison guard, and then Shi Shiran left.

After leaving that room, he seemed to still be able to hear Qi Birong's heart-piercing roar, and the muffled sound of prison guards subduing her.

In comparison, Huo Yuanshan was really calm.

However, he still couldn't hide his shock.

Huo Chuxiao said calmly: "I don't have any other ideas about coming to see you, I just think that it's time to put an end to all of this."

Huo Yuanshan smiled dejectedly, "Period...how can there be any period, the Huo family has become the miserable situation it is now, I should have expected it..."

Huo Chuxiao said: "How early? When it was decided to make Huo Chuhong his successor, or when he was suppressing me, or when he took my mother's inheritance and ran the company on the first day?"

Huo Yuanshan was startled, and then heard the person on the other side continue: "Perhaps, the ill-gotten gains will leave you one day. Before that day comes, I believe that you will not regret it for a second like you are now. .”

He looked at his father who seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and suddenly felt that all words were exhausted, and there was actually nothing to talk about between them.Maybe this trip is really just to see their end for the mother.

So he stood up wearily, and was about to leave.

Huo Yuanshan stopped him, and said in a bit of embarrassment: "Son, I am sorry for you and your mother."

Huo Chuxiao tilted his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "That's why you are behind this glass. It is always easy to say an apology, because when it is said, it is basically useless. Maybe compared to A verbal apology and a real punishment are more suitable for you."

When he left, he felt that he would never see these people again for the rest of his life.

After this grievance was finally settled, he devoted himself to the art exhibition.

What Huo Chuxiao didn't expect was that this art exhibition could be called vigorous. Almost all the exhibitors were well-known painters in the circle, many of them were acquaintances, and even professors who he had taught at A University Academy of Fine Arts.

When acquaintances meet each other, the atmosphere becomes active without agitation.

The day of the art exhibition was also a good day. The peach trees in half of the city were in bloom, and the entrance of the exhibition area was even more colorful. Coupled with the spring breeze among the trees and the tourists under the trees, many media came to shoot and promote.

Huo Chuxiao was allocated a considerable area, and exhibited five or six works. Although the number was not the largest, and the location was hidden deep in the exhibition hall, the crowd gathered in front of the paintings was not small, and even a few Internet celebrities came over Taking a photo with his oil painting is probably to get some traffic.

He also came today, but he dressed up specially, wearing a mask and a small beret to cover his recognizable natural curly short hair.

This is a trick that an old man in the same art exhibition joked to him, saying that he likes to disguise himself very much, and listen to what people who appreciate his works have to say.Huo Chuxiao is also really bored, the little German Shepherd has half a month to take him home, but he has already bought some dog supplies, and bought a bag of unopened talking toys, and even when he was looking at the house, he I will consider whether to leave a separate room for the dog to live in. Now that everything is ready, I only owe the dog, and staying at home is even more empty.

Although it was his first time doing this, he seemed to be quite talented. It had been half an hour since he arrived, and no one had recognized him yet.

Huo Chuxiao first pretended to be an ordinary tourist and went through the art exhibition from beginning to end, and then walked slowly towards his own area.

However, before he walked over, he had already seen a few familiar figures from a distance.

After seeing it clearly, Huo Chuxiao was taken aback for a moment, the tallest among those few people, who else could it be if it wasn't Ji Zongming?

Ji Zongming has never been interested in understanding these things, he knows it all too well, but now he comes to see his art exhibition, and even looks serious! ?

For a moment, Huo Chuxiao even thought that he probably wanted to see him, so he was blinded by the wrong person.But when he approached quietly, he found that it was really Ji Zongming!

He could even hear the voice of Ji Zongming talking to Yu Zhen beside him.

Yu Zhen was different from him, with a troubled look on his face, it was obvious that he had just stayed up last night, and today he was woken up early by his brother to come and see the painting.

He yawned and said dissatisfied: "Damn, I really don't understand, and Huo Chuxiao is not here, what are you doing here?"

Ji Zongming was still looking at the painting attentively. Hearing this, he glanced at him and said coldly, "Who told you that I came to the painting exhibition to meet him?"

"Fuck, what are you doing here so early in the morning? We had a meeting until three o'clock in the morning yesterday. You're not afraid of sudden death, are you?"

Ji Zongming withdrew his gaze, looked at the painting and said indifferently: "Seeing a painting is like seeing a face."

When he said this, not only Yu Zhen, but even Huo Chuxiao were taken aback.

Yu Zhen was about to tease him a few words, but when he noticed someone walking over, he closed his mouth.

The few young people who came seemed to be students of the Academy of Fine Arts, and they commented on Huo Chuxiao's paintings as soon as they walked up. One of them said seriously: "Teacher Huo's style is still closer to Impressionism, and the style of painting is romantic and delicate..."

He was eloquent, and the friends around him listened very seriously and nodded frequently.

However, the tall man standing beside him who didn't look like he would come to the exhibition suddenly said, "He's a realist."

The young men were startled, and looked at him in surprise.

Ji Zongming glanced at them, and casually talked about Huo Chuxiao's brushwork skills. From who he learned from, to the change in style, he said something eloquently, but it seemed that he just said it casually, saying what he thought of, but it revealed a The momentum is like a treasure.

Those few people were all stunned, even Yu Zhen stared at him dumbfounded.

Until the end, one of the students even asked him which art academy he was from and if he was a senior.

Ji Zongming didn't seem to want to talk to this young melon who didn't know how to pretend to understand at all, but said coldly: "I didn't study painting." accurate.

Those few people had a bad nose, and it was not easy to force a conversation, so they smiled awkwardly and left.

Also shocked was Huo Chuxiao who was hiding in the corner.

He was not only shocked by Ji Zongming's understanding of oil paintings, but also shocked by his understanding of his own paintings.Although not all of them are correct, they are at least seventy-seven eighty-eight.

He never thought that Ji Zongming actually had such abilities, and there was a subtle change in his eyes for a while.

Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, Huo Chuxiao thought, probably because she was frightened.

He calmed down, and originally wanted to continue to observe, but unfortunately, as a former sniper, Boss Ji's observation of the surroundings can be described as extremely keen, and he turned his head slightly, as if he noticed a pair of eyes that were always looking at him, Huo Chuxiao Suddenly afraid of being recognized by him now, he left in a hurry.

Moreover, his mind is full of Ji Zongming now, and he can't continue to visit this art exhibition at all...

When there was no one else around, Yu Zhen pulled Ji Zongming over in shock, lowered his voice and said, "Damn, when did you become an expert in oil painting? Good guy, you only need to perform a recitation of art history on the spot."

Ji Zongming looked at the paintings on the wall that belonged to Huo Chuxiao, and said calmly: "It's just been a while."

Yu Zhen was speechless, "You have really done your homework in order to chase people."

"I didn't learn it just to chase after him." Ji Zongming suddenly said, "He probably spends half of his life painting, so I just want to know what he thinks when he paints."

Yu Zhen was drinking water, and almost choked when he heard the words, and said with emotion: "I should have recorded what you said, and then sent it to Mr. Xiao Huo. Do you believe it or not, he definitely thought you were crazy? Old Ji, old man Ji, you, who have been single for more than 20 years, never thought that you would be quite good after the fall of the enemy?"

Ji Zongming smiled and said, "It doesn't matter."

He actually squeezed out some time to see Huo Chuxiao's painting exhibition.During this period of time, he was very busy at work, so busy that he hardly had time to find ways to get close to Huo Chuxiao, and Ji Zongming was a person who would hardly be affected by his personal life at work, so he seemed to be no different from before.

Since the game is planned to be released in the European market, it is necessary to go to the local area to discuss cooperation with some companies. The day after Ji Zongming saw the art exhibition, he took a plane with the company's team and left the country.

They found the most famous 4A company here to act as a publicity agency. Ji Zongming didn't even have time to beat the jet lag. After landing, he simply rested in the hotel for half a day, then he regrouped and went to the 4A company headquarters in person.

Because of the high price, Ji Zongming and his group were almost treated as VIP customers. The assistant took them to a conference room, prepared coffee and refreshments, and informed the director that he was outside and would be back soon.

Ji Zongming originally didn't have the patience to wait for someone, but the boss of this company strongly recommended this director to him. For the promotion of the game, he could only wait patiently.

Finally, he heard a knock on the wooden door. Ji Zongming was about to call in the French he had just learned, but the visitor had already pushed the door aggressively and walked in on his own.

"Sorry for being late." A strange yet familiar female voice said in French.

Ji Zongming raised his head, stared at each other, and was stunned.

The woman switched back to Chinese in an instant: "Fuck, why is it you!?"

The accompanying translator on one side suffered from an occupational disease and was about to translate this sentence into French, but he became stupid halfway through.

No, he came here to translate the European director's French into Chinese! ?

Not only him, but everyone else in the conference room looked at each other in blank dismay, but Ji Zongming was the first to react, stood up and respectfully said, "Hi, sister-in-law."

The director standing in front of him who just cursed was Huo Yilei.

Huo Xiaogu sized him up vigilantly, and said bluntly, "Ji Zongming, don't tell me you did it on purpose."

Ji Zongming smiled wryly, "If I say it's fate, do you believe it?"

Sister-in-law is not polite at all: "I don't believe it. Also, you divorced Chuxiao from our family, don't call me sister-in-law, I am not related to you, and there is no reason."

Ji Zongming bowed to her in a gentlemanly manner, and all the subordinates around him were stunned.

I have never seen the boss so humble, outrageous.

Although this meeting was very difficult, both of them were successful people in their respective fields, and they quickly showed a professional attitude. My sister-in-law also seriously discussed cooperation matters with Ji Zongming's team.

It's just that after the meeting ended, she resumed her extremely disgusting attitude towards Ji Zongming.

Ji Zongming was upset, indeed, but she was Huo Chuxiao's favorite aunt, and he also knew that she was the one who was kind to Huo Chuxiao, no matter what he said, he had to bear it.

By the end of the meeting, it was already dinner time.

Ji Zongming took advantage of the opportunity and invited his sister-in-law to have a meal together. Anyway, it was an old acquaintance in a foreign land, and it was worth reminiscing about the past.

My sister-in-law scoffed at this statement, "What reminiscing about the old days, I think you are a drunkard who doesn't want to drink, what you want to recount is not the old days, but my family's first night."

But that being said, she agreed.

The two went to the local Chinatown, and picked a lively Chinese restaurant, where they ate oil-splashed noodles, surrounded by warm noise and fireworks.

Ji Zongming saw that his sister-in-law was wearing Chanel, but she was able to sit in a Chinese restaurant and slurp noodles, and felt a little ridiculous for a while.

The sister-in-law gave him a blank look, "Look at Mao, you know that this restaurant's oil-splashed noodles are very authentic."

Ji Zongming had nothing to chat with her, so he could only eat noodles in silence.

But soon, my sister-in-law couldn't bear it anymore.

"I said, did you really divorce Chuxiao?"

Ji Zongming nodded.

The sister-in-law looked at him awkwardly, and said in a low voice: "It's unbelievable how happy it is. I thought you'd have to drag him for ten days and a half months no matter what."

Hearing this, Ji Zongming put down his chopsticks and said very solemnly: "I really don't want to leave. But since Chuxiao wants to, then I will listen to him. He has had enough hard times before, now it's time to live a little more freely. lived."

"Wow", the noodles on the sister-in-law's chopsticks slipped back into the bowl again.And she herself was staring at Ji Zongming in amazement.

"You... Ji Zongming, tell the truth, is this intentional to fool people, or do you really think so?"

"Is it necessary for me to lie to you?" Ji Zongming said angrily.

This sister-in-law is good everywhere, the only bad thing is that she is always full of hostility towards herself.Damn, he's not from Huo Yuanshan's side, so what?

The sister-in-law simply put down her chopsticks, crossed her arms over her chest, looked him up and down seriously, narrowed her eyes and said plausibly: "Hmm...it doesn't look like a fake. But I still firmly believe that you kid has ulterior motives. You two just got married At that time, you didn't treat Chu Xiao very well, did you?"

"People change. And..." Ji Zongming ate his noodles sullenly, suddenly stopped and smiled, and said in an unusually gentle tone, "I didn't like him at that time."

The little girl widened her eyes.Although she knew that Ji Zongming had thoughts about Chu Xiao, she never thought that he could say it so frankly, let alone that he would say it in such... a tone that couldn't have appeared on him.

"You... It's useless for you to tell me these things. No matter how affectionate you are in front of me, I won't give you an arranged marriage like Huo Yuanshan and force Chuxiao to you. It depends on Chuxiao himself Meaning. It’s useless for you to come here to attack me.”

Ji Zongming smiled in surprise, raised his head and said to the little aunt: "I didn't come here to attack you, I just came to tell you that Chu Xiao is not alone in the country now, no matter what, I will help him. I know you've been worried about him, and I've come to tell you just to reassure you. Chu Xiao likes you very much, and he wouldn't want you to worry about him in a foreign country."

This time, the aunt was completely stunned. It took a long time until her face became lumpy, and she finally came to her senses. She sighed while pulling the noodles.

She suddenly called Ji Zongming's name very solemnly.

The other party immediately looked at her as if facing a formidable enemy, and sat upright to look at her.

The sister-in-law stared at him for a while before saying, "Sure enough, I still don't like you very much."

However, before Ji Zongming could react, she lowered her head and said in a muffled voice while eating noodles: "But it doesn't matter whether I like it or not. Interested."
