The other party was gentle and calm, but Yun Qiu felt a little scared.

Xiao Heng carries a kind of contempt and indifference that has been immersed in the top of power all the year round, but this kind of thing is not available in Xiao Wenshui. Xiao Wenshui's indifference is more due to his own personality.

But what Xiao Heng showed made Yun Qiu not only scared, but also a little confused and hesitant.Different from the feeling Yunxi gave him, Yunqiu knew that it was willful fear, he chose not to face everything in the past, he gave up recognizing his relatives, so he resisted.

But the older man in front of him gave him a chill down his spine, because he couldn't see beyond his gentle demeanor.Xiao Heng spoke softly and had a kind expression, and he took him into his territory calmly.He talked to him about his family, well-founded and full of details, he said: "You are very good-looking, you look very beautiful, your eyes are exactly the same as your mother, but your mouth seems to follow your father, so Thin a small mouth, seeing you is like seeing the two of them. I didn’t expect to meet you here. I was shopping for vegetables. When I looked up and saw you looking familiar across the way, I knew it, sure. He is the son of Yungan and Xiaolin."

He did carry a vegetable basket.

Xiao Heng acted as if he was very familiar with his father, Yun Qiu felt a little puzzled.However, along the way, Xiao Heng was also slowly explaining.He said that he is not a member of the company, not even a member of the board of directors. He is an elder who lives in a large villa in the suburbs and enjoys fishing and reading books. friend.Because he has been outside the sphere of power for many years, he confidently "handed over the company to Wenshui", and even Xiao Wenshui has grown up and acted recklessly, becoming "the last thing he wants to see".

He said: "Qishui is a good kid, but some things he has done recently have crossed the line. He put his other uncles and elders under house arrest, even the elderly in wheelchairs are locked up, and the sick are not allowed to see them. The elders who have loved him since he was a child. Wen Shui is too young and too nervous now, and always thinks that we half-dead old men will fight and grab something with him."

He even said a lot of good things for Xiao Wenshui, he said: "Yunqiu, I know you just realized your life experience, you may not be able to accept it for a while. But, Wenshui has nothing to do with this matter, he was too young at the time, I don't know about this matter, it's because his Xiao Qi is too determined to go his own way, everyone in our Xiao family has persuaded him that Major General Yun is a rare talent, there is no need to use such a low-handed method of snatching away his family's children. Confrontation, but he won't listen. He is the head of the family, and there is nothing we can do about it, Yun Qiu, you have to be considerate about this and ask the water."

These words were said on the road before they went to the tea pavilion, the place Xiao Heng chose to talk.He is well versed in the knack of dealing with children of Yunqiu's age, and he behaves powerfully and convincingly, as if he is really a loving elder who is deeply saddened by his own child's ignorance.

The Tea Pavilion is not far from the High School Affiliated to Xingda University, and it is a relatively famous coffee shop.

But Yunqiu himself was a little absent-minded.He knew he didn't care about the family—or, more than that.He was still thinking about those words Xiao Wenshui said back then, those cold words and faces, every time he thought about it, it was like falling into an ice cave.

He didn't realize that he was developing a stress response—to a total stranger, to words he didn't want to hear.

He also didn't realize that Xiao Heng's words coincided with the image of Xiao Wenshui he had seen on the Internet before.That is the image of a ruthless profit-seeking superior who can abandon his closest family members for this, just like he can abandon a little brother he raised by himself.

He said, how could he do this?Wenshui is such a hard-hearted kid.He completely followed his father's temperament.

Yun Qiu could choose to ignore it, and focused on all the sounds other than Xiao Heng's voice, the horn of the space car on the roadside, the sound of the waiter in the coffee shop turning the machine, and the sound of his footsteps when walking.This method gave him a sense of security, so Yun Qiu continued to wander, not listening to Xiao Heng's words.

Before going in with Xiao Heng, facing the warm invitation from the waiter, Yunqiu suddenly stopped and said in a low voice: "I... I want to call my classmate, please wait a moment, I have a meeting with him Postpone."

Xiao Heng showed enough tolerance and demeanor to this: "You go, I'll wait for you first. Is there anything you want to drink?"

Yun Qiu shook his head.

He stopped and stood at the door.The weather is already very cold now, and the warm wind blowing from the tea pavilion lightly brushed over the soles of his feet.At that moment, he seemed to be leaving his master and wandering in front of a new cage. There was nowhere to go when he turned back, but his will was forcing him to move forward with some kind of intuition.

Yun Qiu felt very thirsty, as if a voice in his heart was shouting to him: "Don't go there! Don't go there."

But he seemed to be nailed in place, and all his strength was exhausted. The only remaining strength was to take out his new mobile phone and call the number of the person he just sent a text message to.

He has dialed this string of numbers countless times, and sent lingering and sweet words countless times. This is the only number he has written down besides the call to the police.

A long tone of "Di--" and "Di--" came from the other end of the mobile phone, which was used to indicate that the call was connected and was waiting for the other party to answer.

There was no answer the first time, so Yunqiu called again a second time.

He longed to hear his voice, to give him some support in the midst of fear and confusion, and he hoped that he would come to pick him up, just like the time a long time ago when he cried in the shopping mall, thinking of Xiao Wenshui as if he didn't want him.

He asked him to pick him up.

Xiao Wenshui didn't answer the phone.

On the fourth call, Yun Qiu saw Xiao Heng standing up and walking towards him, so he hung up the phone in a hurry.

Xiao Heng walked to the service counter, settled the bill first, and then seemed to look at Yunqiu casually: "Are you ready? I don't know what your young children like to drink, so I asked the waiter here to recommend it Signature drinks, okay?"

Yunqiu nodded.

He hung up the phone and walked in.

The two sat in the corner of the tea pavilion, no one was moving around, and the privacy was very good.The waiter served Yunqiu their specialty hand-ground iced coffee. It has been a long time in autumn, and it feels cold to the touch, and it hurts the bones.

Yunqiu didn't drink, but looked down at the delicate cup and plate. Thin drops of water began to condense on the outside of the deep-mouthed glass, and when touched, they immediately gathered into a ball and flowed down.The air is filled with the sweet aroma of caramel.

The previous conversation continued on the table.

After expressing his concern about what the head of Xiao Wenshui's immortal Patriarch was doing, this kind-hearted, calm and steady elder said that as Xiao Wenshui's relatives and people around him, he and Yunqiu also had a duty to take Xiao Wenshui out of power. out of the mud.

And it's very simple to do this step, you just need to walk into Xiao Wenshui's office, which is like an impregnable military fortress to outsiders.

He had no choice but to go because Xiao Wenshui had already developed a huge prejudice against him. He risked his life to come out and sat on this tram, originally to wait in peace for the prisoner he was about to face next.Who would have thought that God would never give up on the Xiao family's lineage, allowing him to meet Xiao Wenshui's mysterious wife—she never showed her true face under heavy protection, but as long as anyone came over and saw his face, they would immediately understand who she was With whose child, with whom now.

Xiao Heng said: "He should still listen to what you say. I have never seen Wenshui like someone so much. As long as you go to his office, take out the documents he put on the last floor of the basement, and bring them to me. OK."

Yun Qiu asked cautiously: "What's in that? What are you going to use it for?"

Xiao Heng smiled gently: "Don't worry, it's just a detailed list of some public-related projects. I need this thing to see what Wenshui has done. If he has done other wrong things , so that we can make up for him in the future. Isn’t it? You can see it yourself, those are very normal activity plans.”

Yunqiu lowered his head, gently picked the cup in front of him, and didn't speak.

His posture was a little fearful, and he obviously didn't believe what he said, but none of this could hide it, and he was already slightly shaken.He was too simple and too easy to deceive. When he saw a half-aged elder almost wiping tears, showing a kind of old fatigue, the dominant position of the conversation was completely seized by the other party.

Xiao Heng was very patient. He was silent for a while, giving Yunqiu room to think, and then said: "...I will not force you, you are a junior, and there is no reason to work hard for the things we old people have to do. The relationship between the two is very good, but as the old saying goes, if the relationship lasts for a long time, how can it be day and night? If Wenshui continues to make mistakes like this, you will not have a better life in the future. Don't you want to correct it? Everything you have? You like him very much, but he has been in the company for so many years, and you are still studying, don't you want to help him through this matter and join his life?"

Yunqiu whispered, "...I thought about it."

Xiao Heng smiled slightly: "That's it. Good boy, for the long-term consideration of you two young people, it's good to take some risks. You also know Wenshui's temper, and you can't listen to other people's words. This matter has to be done by you." You can't come. This is not betraying him, but for his long-term consideration, he will understand your thoughts. "

When leaving the coffee shop, Yunqiu still didn't drink the cup of coffee on the table, and didn't even eat the small cookies in the shape of colorful animals on one side of the plate.

He walked out of this place, even though the High School Affiliated to Xingda University was not far away, and even though his home was a few hundred meters away, Yunqiu still stood there and started to make a phone call.

It's still the same number.

This time Xiao Wenshui accepted it.

Yunqiu said: "Big brother, where are you, can you pick me up?"

Xiao Wenshui paused there, and said, "I'm at home, Yunqiu, I just came back from a meeting."

Yunqiu reported the address of the coffee shop to him, but said, "Come and pick me up."

He was so overwhelmed by confusion and doubt that he didn't even have the strength to walk home by himself.

The address was very close, but Xiao Wenshui didn't say anything, he just sat quietly on the other side and said, "Okay, I'll come right away."

But after he finished speaking, Yun Qiu still didn't hang up the phone.He stubbornly put his ear on the receiver, and his fingers unconsciously picked and rubbed the sound hole at the end of the phone.

Xiao Wenshui didn't hang up the phone either, he suddenly asked softly over there: "Yunqiu, are you crying?"

Yun Qiu raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and tried his best to hold back, so that his voice sounded nothing strange.He said, "No, big brother, I'm not crying."
