Overlord: Put your clothes on [Entertainment Circle]

Su Lanqiao had another nightmare. The moment she fell off the bridge, her mother lost her breath and let go of his hand, and she fell on the bridge alone like that.In front of him was his mother's desperate face, and under him was the rushing river, and he was instantly submerged.

The whole dream was dim, without sound or color, like a black vortex trying to swallow him.

In the overwhelming waves, he woke up suddenly, panting heavily, covered in sweat.

It's been eight years, but he still doesn't dare to think about the details. Except for the upside-down picture in the dream, other fragments have been blurred in his memory.Many years ago, the doctor said that this phenomenon was called "flashback", and he fell into the past emotions and tortured repeatedly.

It's just that every time he has that dream, nothing good will happen when he wakes up.

Su Lanqiao wiped her face and sat up, it was still dark outside, the clock on the bedside table pointed to four o'clock, Chu Cheng slept peacefully by her side.

He picked up the mobile phone under the pillow, only to see an email with a red exclamation mark from the housekeeper Ryan a few hours ago, and Su Lanqiao's heart sank.

When I clicked on the email, there was only one line in simple English: "Master, the doctor said that the husband won't last for two days, please come back."

After digesting the news, Su Lanqiao was at a loss for a second, then got up in a hurry, and booked the nearest flight back to London.He didn't bother to say hello to Chu Cheng, packed a small suitcase and left in the dark.

First-class air tickets were not in short supply. A few hours later, Su Lanqiao was on the plane back to London.

His mind was buzzing along the way, and his palms were drenched in sweat. He didn't know whether it was cold or shock.

If the father dies?what will happen

In this world, his only family member is gone.

The relationship between Su Lanqiao and her father has not always been indifferent. They had a good relationship when they were young, and their father would often come over to listen in on family lessons.But after Alan and his mother arrived, everything changed.

Su Lanqiao suffered from PTSD until his mother passed away at the age of 13. During the three years of continuous treatment, his relationship with his father became more and more distant. He was anxious, irritable, moody, and often fell into infinite self-blame. Qiaowan, if it wasn't for him, it wouldn't be possible...

Later, when he started to learn Chinese, he saw a sentence, "A person is in love and desire, he lives and dies alone, goes and comes alone, suffers and enjoys himself, and there is no one who can replace him." Then he suddenly became enlightened.

In layman's terms, everyone has his own life.

Su Lanqiao let out a breath slowly, trying to suppress her sense of self-blame, it's not worth mentioning the old things.

Eight hours later, when the plane stopped at Heathrow Airport, Su Lanqiao turned on the phone and saw the message from Chu Cheng, which was only a short sentence.

【Su Lanqiao, why do you always run away when you fall asleep? 】

Su Lanqiao touched her neck, there were hickey marks left by Chu Cheng on it, dotted around, and he didn't bother to cover it up.

He typed with his fingertips on the screen, [I'm sorry Mr. Chu, I'm back in the UK, I really have something urgent this time]

Chu: [When will you come back? 】

When Chu Cheng woke up, the people were already empty, and even the bed was completely cold. He guessed that he had walked for a long time.

He lay on Su Lanqiao's bed, lit a cigarette and fell into deep thought. If Su Lanqiao really didn't come back, would he feel lost?

This person always appears for no reason, disappears for no reason, does not say the reason, comes and goes freely.

He really didn't have any position to ask for it, but this time was different from the last time, he felt a little more flustered and a little out of control.

Su Lanqiao clenched her palms tightly, her fingertips trembling: [I don't know, maybe in a few days]

He really doesn't know what the situation is now. If his father dies, the follow-up situation will be complicated. He also has no experience and is at a loss.

It's just a kid who just turned 21.

Chu Cheng didn't reply any more, Su Lanqiao put away her phone and walked to the parking lot, Ryan always stood in front of the car with a straight posture and waited for him, "Master, the road is hard, the hospital is nearby, let's go directly there .”

Su Lanqiao hummed, her voice hoarse with the excessive indulgence last night, "He, what's the situation now?"

"It's very bad. The doctor said it might be tonight...you should be prepared." Ryan clenched the steering wheel, his whole face was tired, and the corners of his wrinkled eyes were black and blue.

Su Lanqiao's eyes fell on him, and the housekeeper was also old. It's not easy for so many years and decades.

He is not a good son, no matter how bad the relationship with his father is, no matter how much he blames him, he shouldn't come back for so long.

Would you regret it if you didn't see the last side?

I will.

The car stopped at the entrance of the hospital. The whole white building looked more depressing in the gray London weather. Su Lanqiao followed Ryan upstairs and walked to the first VIP ward. Before opening the door, she heard the woman crying. Voice.

Su Lanqiao closed her eyes and pushed open the door. There was a whole circle of people standing beside the hospital bed, including executives from the company, friends of her father, some close relatives, and a woman by the bed. His stepmother, who was just now She was crying, and there were still tears on her pale face.

Everyone is here, the housekeeper should have notified you.

"The young master is finally willing to come back." Alan sarcastically sarcastically beside him.

Su Lanqiao pushed through the crowd and walked to the hospital bed. He hadn't seen him for a long time, and he hardly recognized the haggard old man lying on the bed.

When I was practicing horseback riding and archery when I was a child, my father was always high-spirited and wanted to compete with his tutor.The person on the hospital bed had cloudy eyes and was so thin that only a layer of wrinkled skin remained.

The old man opened his mouth, but could only utter some indistinguishable syllables.

Su Lanqiao bent down and put her ear to it, trying to hear what he was saying.

Suddenly the old man began to pant rapidly, his eyes widened suddenly, and after struggling for a few seconds, his hands dropped from the side of the bed.

"Go and call the doctor!!!" Anna's sharp voice pierced the silence, and she pushed Su Lanqiao, "What are you doing when you come back? You stimulated him like this as soon as you showed up, waiting to die and divide the family property?"

Su Lanqiao pushed back, using some strength, "Shut up, is this the time to say this?"

Several doctors came in one file at a time, looking at the two with blank expressions, "Let's make way, we will do emergency rescue."

Su Lanqiao turned around and walked outside the glass door, watching the electric shock being pressed and pulled out on his father, back and forth, the line on the machine next to him had stabilized into a straight line, sadness suddenly surged up at this moment, the kind of suffocation The feeling is almost to choke his throat.

There are some things that are powerless, just like back then, he watched his mother's hand drop, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Su Lanqiao slowly slid to the ground, looking at the crowd coming and going with out-of-control expressions, she felt like a puppet whose limbs were fixed, unable to move or make a sound.

Her ears were buzzing, as if she was deaf. The doctor seemed to come and say something before leaving, with a regretful expression on his face.

Died like this?

Su Lanqiao's eyes became hollow, and it was the same eight years ago. Before he got into the ambulance, the doctor told him that your mother had stopped breathing, God bless you.

Fuck God bless, God can't bless anyone's safety and success, it's just a perfunctory psychological comfort.

In the face of death, he is very extreme.

The doctor said, you were just stimulated, and you will recover in a few years. Su Lanqiao now finds that he is not recovering, not at all.

Ryan came over and looked down at him for a few seconds, then stretched out his hand to pull him up from the ground, "Master, the lawyer is here, talking about the division of the estate, you have to cheer up."

Su Lanqiao almost lost his strength, his legs and feet were weak, and he let Ryan drag him into the ward.

Father has been quickly transferred to another place, the snow-white walls, the dazzling lights, everything looks extraordinarily ironic.

Seeing him coming in, the lawyer cleared his throat and said, "Mr. drafted the estate division agreement a month ago. Except that the company has been handed over to other shareholders, all movable and immovable properties will be inherited by Elvis and Alan, that is, the two of you. .”

The lawyer nodded Su Lanqiao and Alan with his hand, "It's very simple to inherit the inheritance. The requirement mentioned by the husband is that whoever gets married first and can't get divorced within half a year can get all the property under the name of the husband." Mr. mentioned, I hope you can be happy."

Alan leaned against the railing of the hospital bed with a half-smile, "I forgot to mention that my fiancée and I are already engaged, so it seems that my brother has no part in the inheritance."

Su Lanqiao thought it was absurd. Ten minutes ago, his father had just swallowed his last breath, and this group of people could stand in this ward indifferently and discuss the division of inheritance.

The inheritance requirement is even more ridiculous. A person who has cheated in marriage binds them with marriage and hopes that they will be happy.

Everything that has happened all day today has been filled with great irony.

He leaned against the edge of the table, braced himself, and whispered, "I don't want an inheritance, I just want that house."

All the memories with his mother are there, and there is her tombstone in the garden, and he will not back down at this step.

The lawyer shook his head, still in that business-like tone, "The agreement doesn't mention that it can be divided, so it's not allowed. I've finished my words. I wish you both success, and my condolences."

Alan walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "I really know how to choose, that castle is quite valuable, but unfortunately I won't even give you a tree."

Su Lanqiao lowered her eyes, watching the group of people go out one after another, and the room became silent again.

Ryan closed the door, walked over and squeezed Su Lanqiao's icy hand, "I know why you want that house, but the agreement is there, it can't be changed. If you have to fight for it, you can find someone to get married in half a year That's all, the price is negotiable. After all, I am also an old housekeeper for decades, and I have some contacts. If you need..."

"Lian, why help me?" Su Lanqiao raised her eyes to look at this old man who was neither relative nor relative, and now everyone has nothing to do with him.

Ryan sighed and asked suddenly, "Do you still have that dream now?"

"It's been a long time." Su Lanqiao felt that there was something in his words and he lied.

"Your stress disorder is much better." Ryan hesitated to say, "I have been suffering from your mother's death. She was very good to me during her lifetime, and I am grateful. I have been looking for opportunities to tell you the truth, but you I'm too young to bear this. I'll help you just to make my conscience feel better."

Su Lanqiao frowned, "What do you mean, explain clearly."

Ryan stared at him for a long time, his voice trembling uncontrollably, "Your mother's death was not an accident."
