Do not lie to me

Brother Zhou took a lot of effort to drag Shang Xuechen in from the balcony, dragged him back and handed him over to Yuan Li'an, and he had to go back to the balcony and waved to Ji Shuping downstairs, "Hurry up!" Come on, if I don’t leave, do I have to sing you a ten-mile farewell? I really can’t stand you two! It’s like a folk song, someone should complain soon!”

When Brother Zhou entered the living room, he saw Shang Xuechen, who was being held up by Yuan Li'an, holding on to the bed sheet, and in a fit of anger, he grabbed the sheet from Shang Xuechen's hand, pointed at him and asked, "You ruined the bed sheet?" I don't care about this with you. But there is a pair of my shoes in the porch, you don't pick the others, Ji Shuping's, Yuan Li'an's, why do you pick my shoe and throw it downstairs? ?!"

Shang Xuechen pursed his mouth when asked, turned his head to look at Yuan Li'an who was supporting him, and asked for help.Yuan Li'an shrugged his shoulders with an expression that he couldn't help it.Brother Zhou was so angry that he couldn't speak. He waved his index finger and pointed at Shang Xuechen twice more. After passing them, he walked towards the door. He didn't forget to order, "Xiao Yuan, watch him! I'll go down and pick up shoes!"

Brother Zhou just wore a slipper and a pair of sneakers and went down to pick up the shoes.As soon as Yuan Li'an let go of Shang Xuechen, Shang Xuechen immediately made a face at the door Zhou Ge had just closed, squinting his eyes and sticking out his tongue, making a "little slightly slightly slightly" sound from his mouth.

Shang Xuechen relieved himself after making a grimace, turned around and saw Yuan Li'an was still looking at him like that, he glanced at Yuan Li'an and asked, "Why do you keep staring at my face?"

Yuan Li'an watched Shang Xuechen sit on the sofa, picked up the magazines on the coffee table and started flipping through them.Yuan Li'an followed and sat down by the sofa, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Brother Shang, do you still remember the first time we met?"

"Huh?" Shang Xuechen stopped flipping through the magazine, tilted his head to look at Yuan Li'an, and rolled his eyes as if recalling the scene at that time.

Yuan Li'an didn't wait for him to think about it and said to himself, "Do you remember? At that time, I told you that my father was evading debts, and my mother was cornered by debt collectors and drank paraquat. She lay down in the hospital. After a few days, the people disappeared. My mother is a very gentle person, she is very good at growing lentils, and she loves to make lentil stewed rice for me. The lentils she planted, the flowers are bright purple, and they will Tell me that the lentils with such beautiful flowers are called pig's ear beans, as if the family is poor, but I feel ashamed of me."

Shang Xuechen tilted his head and listened quietly to Yuan Li'an's word for word. Yuan Li'an raised his head to look at him and asked, "This is all my impression of my mother. Then brother Shang, what about you? You Do you still have an impression of your mother?" Yuan Li'an didn't dare to ask him directly if he knew that his mother gave birth to a younger brother, so he could only ask Shang Xuechen if he still had an impression of his mother.

Shang Xuechen came back to his senses in a daze, and looked at the magazine in his hand, which was the magazine that Jiajia had flipped through yesterday when Jiajia was with him.He touched the picture in the magazine and murmured, "I remember she likes to wear red high heels."

"anything else?"

"What else?" Shang Xuechen tilted his head and straightened his head to look at Yuan Li'an, and asked him, "Why is your mother ashamed of you?"

Yuan Li'an lowered his eyes and replied, "Maybe it's because she felt that she didn't train me well."

"Then... did she say sorry to you?"

Yuan Li'an smiled, "She is the mother, and I am the son. It is only natural for me to take care of the family. How can I let her come and say sorry to me?"

"Shouldn't I say I'm sorry? She obviously abandoned you." Shang Xuechen stared blankly at the picture of the pair of red high-heeled shoes in the magazine.

Yuan Li'an looked at Shang Xuechen, and asked him carefully, "Do you remember your mother? Just like I remember my mother?"

Shang Xuechen raised his head, staring blankly at the TV wall in front of him, "I..."

"Shang Xuechen! If you throw my shoes around again next time, don't blame me for being rude to you."

It was Brother Zhou who picked up the shoes and opened the door and came in.Yuan Li'an hurriedly got up from the sofa and said, "The restaurant hasn't been cleaned up yet, I'll go clean it up."

Brother Zhou took a look at Yuan Li'an who had hurriedly hid in the dining room, and walked towards the living room strangely. As soon as he sat down on the sofa, he saw Shang Xuechen who was in a daze.Brother Zhou stretched out his hand in front of him worriedly, afraid of shocking others, and called him in a low voice, "Shang? Xuechen? Xuechen?"

Shang Xuechen came back to look at Brother Zhou, "I, I... I can't remember. No, no, I don't want to remember."

Brother Zhou was so frightened by him, so he hurried over and sat next to him, patted him on the back like Ji Shuping did in the morning, and kept comforting him, "It's okay, it's okay. If you don't remember it, forget it, if you don't remember it, just forget it." forget about it."

Shang Xuechen nodded, but he didn't show any excitement.Brother Zhou glanced at the medicine box on the coffee table, it was specially prepared by Ji Shuping and placed here.He saw that Shang Xuechen hadn't shown too much resistance, so he boldly asked, "Let's take medicine, shall we?"

Shang Xuechen didn't stand up from the sofa and run away this time, but nodded in cooperation unexpectedly.Fortunately, Brother Zhou heaved a sigh of relief, poured a glass of water over, and brought the medicine to him.Shang Xuechen held the water glass in one hand and the medicine in the other, and looked down.

Seeing his motionless appearance, Brother Zhou swallowed nervously, while persuading him, "If you really don't want to, you don't have to force yourself to eat."

Shang Xuechen looked at the few pills in his palm and shook his head, "No, I want to take it. I want to get better, so Ji Shuping won't worry."

Brother Zhou smiled gratifiedly, and held his hand that put the medicine in his hand to deliver it to his mouth, "Then don't hesitate, eat."

Shang Xuechen turned his face to look at Brother Zhou, "It's just that there are still some things I can't figure out."

"what's up?"

Shang Xuechen glanced at the magazine on the desktop, "I don't know if she will say sorry to me."

"Her?" Zhou Ge asked Shang Xuechen with some doubts, Shang Xuechen was still talking to himself, "And I don't know how to say sorry to him."

"Him? Who and who?"

Shang Xuechen lowered his head, "There is a person who brought me up and treated me very well. But I misunderstood him for many years and secretly hated him in my heart. It is only now that I realize that I was wrong, but he is no longer here. I don't know how to say sorry to him, sorry for misunderstanding him, sorry for blaming him."

Brother Zhou looked at him, stretched out his hand and patted his back, and told him, "I used to raise a rabbit. My mother never allowed me to raise it. When raising rabbits, I always disliked rabbits shitting everywhere, smoking a broom. Beating the rabbit. Then the rabbit died. I thought it was my mother who beat the rabbit to death. I didn’t talk to her for many days. Then I found out that there was water on the leaves I fed the rabbit, so the rabbit died of diarrhea. After I found out, I neither admitted my mistake nor said sorry to my mother, because I felt embarrassed. I was embarrassed to tell my mother that I blamed her wrongly. When the teacher assigned homework to write a composition, I wrote this The matter was written into it, and who knows that I won an award. My mother came to the parent meeting and saw it. On the way home, she told me that she didn’t care about it at all. Because I am her son, I don’t have to worry about it. .Do you know what that means?"

Shang Xuechen looked at Brother Zhou without blinking, "Does this mean that the rabbit should hate you?"

Brother Zhou smiled helplessly, "It means that if you were brought up by that person, he would not blame you. Because there is no need to worry about it, it is nothing to him, I think he probably sees you healthy and happy. good."

Shang Xuechen smiled, "He did tell me these things when I was young. He said he wanted me to study hard and be a happy ordinary person."

"Since he has told you so, then he will definitely not be so fussy with you, because everyone in the world who has taken care of children will think so."

"Everyone in the world who has taken care of children thinks so?" Shang Xuechen stared at the pair of red high-heeled shoes in the magazine picture again for a moment.Brother Zhou didn't dare to urge him. After Shang Xuechen came back to his senses, he glanced at the few pills in his palm, covered his mouth and raised his head to finish the pills.

Brother Zhou let out a sigh of relief watching him drink up the water in the cup, got up and said, "Wait a minute, I'll make the bed for you. After taking the medicine, you just need to sleep, and everything will be fine when you wake up." .”

Shang Xuechen nodded, "Yeah." He repeated Brother Zhou's words, "When I wake up, everything will be fine."

Yuan Li'an, who was wiping the table in the restaurant, stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at the people sitting in the living room, and sighed deeply.

Ji Shuping was indeed late when he arrived at the company, but he passed by the door of his office but did not see anyone on Zhou Yuan's desk.Ji Shuping stopped, tapped Zhou Yuan's desk twice, and someone came up immediately, and he asked, "Where is Zhou Yuan?"

"It seemed to be still there just now, maybe I went downstairs to deliver the materials."

Ji Shuping glanced at the person who couldn't speak clearly, the person trembled after Ji Shuping's glance, swallowed and continued, "There is a guest waiting for you in the conference room."

"Guests?" Ji Shuping frowned, the company was clearly in the process of liquidation, why did he have an extra visitor at this juncture?He waved his hand to the person who told him, "Got it, you can go about your business."

When Ji Shuping entered the conference room, he saw that the person sitting at the table first turned his head to look at the door, and then closed the door and locked it.After confirming the integrity, he turned around and asked Shao Ji, "How did you find my company?"

Shao Ji raised his head and glanced at him, "Of course I want to negotiate terms because I need to find a more formal occasion. My identity has not been disclosed to the public yet, so of course I can only come to you on more formal occasions."

Ji Shuping walked to the conference table and pulled out a chair to sit down, "Conditions? Hmph, what conditions do I have to negotiate with you?"

Shao Ji gave him a cold look, "If you didn't want to negotiate some conditions with me, why would you deliberately make me doubt my mother?"

Ji Shuping clasped his hands on the table, Shao Ji frowned when he saw that, he swallowed nervously, because he knew that this was the foreshadowing action of Ji Shuping's attack.

"If you don't explain why you are here, I don't think we have anything to talk about."

Shao Ji clenched his fists, "Let's talk about your purpose first."

Ji Shuping twitched the corner of his mouth at him, leaned back on the back of the chair, raised his hand and said lightly, "Let's go, I won't see you off."

Shao Ji's clenched fingertips began to turn white, and finally he let go of his fist and said, "I want to know what's wrong with him."

"he?"

"my brother."

"Your brother?" Ji Shuping sat up straight and stared at Shao Ji closely, "You can't be too greedy. I think your mother understands this truth, so she chose Shao Brothers instead of going to see him. You should understand too."

Shao Ji pursed his lips, "Should I not have a warm family relationship?"

"Yes!" Ji Shuping told him affirmatively, "You shouldn't have the so-called warmth. Why? Because your surname is Shao, I think you should have heard about Shao Ling's situation in the Shao family before. How could there be such a thing in the Shao family? Family affection. Master Shao doesn’t, the chairman doesn’t, Shao Ling doesn’t, and you shouldn’t either.”

"What about you? Don't you have any?" Shao Ji asked Ji Shuping back.

Ji Shuping suddenly let go of his attack when he asked such a question, and lowered his eyes and told the person opposite, "I gave him everything I have."

Shao Ji followed him and lowered his eyes, "Tell me, what's the condition?"

"I want the cooperation between Mrs. Shao and the chairman to collapse, and I want Ji and Shao to coerce each other in the future."

Hearing this, Shao Ji frowned, and looked up at him with a serious face, "Then I will be in charge in the future, but I will lack the support of a force to help me persuade the old stubborn in the board of directors."

Ji Shuping smiled, "Without the support of one party? Do you think the chairman will be willing to help you, a young boy, to endorse? Mrs. Shao has no natal family, so she has no roots, but the chairman is different. She now has Ji's background. Even if the Shen family did not help in the past, as long as she is willing to bow her head and reconcile, the Shen family will come over with a wave. Do you think she will want to cooperate with you in a long-term and stable manner? Will she be willing to be a step for you mother and child? You can Don't forget, the chairman's surname is also Shao. She used to control the Ji family and never thought of asking me to join the Ji family, but now she wants me to return to the Ji family to help. Is it because she is powerless and wants to retreat to the second line? No? , it is she who wants to use you as a platform to jump into Shaw Brothers. She always remembers how Shaw Brothers treated her badly in the past. In fact, she is the most similar to Master Shao. It is time to never hand over the handle of the power stick in their hands. Because they all believe that power can deter everything, not love, nor family affection."

"I can't take your word for it."

Ji Shuping has roughly figured out Shao Ji's character. He is very different from the Shao family, but he values ​​family affection more.Ji Shuping sighed, if possible, he still hoped to impress Shao Ji by calmly analyzing the situation, but now it is obvious that another method can impress him more.

"Don't say that our two families have their own thoughts, just talk about him. Madam Shao must not know that he is in China now. Otherwise, she will send Xuechen away and let him stay abroad alone. You grew up abroad yourself, you should know that feeling."

Shao Ji bit his lip and lowered his head.Seeing that he still couldn't impress him, Ji Shuping took a deep breath and told him, "There is another reason why he can't live abroad alone. He is sick, he has PTSD, and he can't live without someone."

Shao Ji looked up at Ji Shuping in surprise, "Why? Why does he have this disease?"

Ji Shuping intends to poke at the place where Shao Ji is most afraid of being mentioned, "It's hard to explain. Maybe it's because he was abandoned since he was a child that he planted an incentive. You should know why he was abandoned, because her mother needs a status and needs Another kid to cement his position, but he's the one who's not wanted."

Shao Ji was shaken, "What about after Ji's and Shao's complete confrontation?"

"It's a good thing for you that they are opposing each other. Although it is chaotic, it can make you more secure in the position of leader of the Shao family. Don't forget that Shao Ling came to power during the chaotic period. The dinner that day was not a director I don't want to quarrel with you when I get older, but it's because she suffered from being strong in the past, and now she understands that she should show weakness at the right time, so that she can aim at the right time to catch you by surprise."

Shao Ji shook his head, "I'm not asking this. I'm asking, what about him if Shao's and Ji's confront each other? What will he do?"

"In this way, I will have a greater chance to take him away. Take him abroad to recuperate. I will take him farther away so that he can get away from your mother, otherwise he will be emotional when they see him. The identity of your mother It's also easy to expose, Mr. Shao is a very traditional person, and if others look at this, it will be easier for you to be used as an identity in the future. It will be beneficial to everyone if I take him away."

"Go abroad." Shao Ji's pupils darkened.

"It's not impossible to see him abroad. I think his illness needs some close people to talk to him. He used to be a person who was afraid of loneliness. Maybe in the future when everything is settled, I will let Brother Zhou Jiajia come to see him." Him, and Yuan Li'an." When mentioning Yuan Li'an, Ji Shuping glanced at the person opposite, and Shao Ji knew that meant that he could also go to see him.

"Okay, I understand what to do." Shao Ji raised his head and looked at Ji Shuping, "Since the agreement is reached, I will give you a big gift. I came to your company today and saw Sister Yuan in the underground parking lot."

"Sister Yuan? You mean Zhou Yuan? Do you know her very well?"

"I never thought she would work in your company. She knows my mother very well."

"Mrs. Shao?" Ji Shuping frowned, "How could she have contact with Mrs. Shao?" Ji Shuping looked at Shao Ji and asked, "Did she see you?"

"Not really. But I saw her arguing with a man in the underground parking lot."

"Arguing with a man?" Ji Shuping pointed his index finger on the table and made a rhythmic sound.
