What is he doing here?
The father and son hadn't seen each other for many years, and Xu Cinian was stiff on the spot for a while, his mind was blank.
From childhood to adulthood, he almost grew up with his grandfather, and he has a gentle mother and a kind grandfather in his impressions, but there is no father who seldom goes home. The word "father" has always remained literal to him. Meaning, there is not much intimacy.
I remember when he was very young, he also asked his mother why his father didn't like him, but what he got were only his mother's tears and everyone's silence. Some people even looked at him with pity and indescribable complexity in their eyes. There are some unspeakable secrets hidden in him. Once he speaks out, everyone will be unlucky, so his father's indifference to him has become a matter of course, and others have long been surprised.
Since he has never asked this question again, he just feels that he is not good enough. As long as everything is perfect, his father will one day treat him differently.
It's a pity that day after day, year after year until his mother died of illness, he took over half of the company from his grandfather, and his father's attitude towards him did not improve at all and even worsened because of his outstanding performance in the company. More disgust and rejection of him.
Every time the father and son met, he looked at himself like he was looking at a pile of garbage that he had to endure. Every time he thought about it, his heart was chilling. Even if he saw each other again after five years, he still couldn't control himself. Emotions, I can't wait to rush to ask him immediately.
Why did you do this to me, and why didn't you show up for five years, and didn't even give me a chance to explain?
Fortunately, his reason was still there. Xu Binnian remained motionless. He stood there and looked at his father, whom he had not seen for many years. His position was very hidden and covered by layers of trees and weeds, so Xu Jianguo did not notice the situation here...
"Master, this is Mengshan Prison." The butler behind him held up an umbrella to cover Xu Jianguo's head and said respectfully.
Xu Ci Nian casually said "um", with a bit of impatience on his face, "What are you busy with in the new year? Why don't you get off the bus?"
He is obviously much older than five years ago. Although he is well maintained, he has passed the peak age of a man, and there are many wrinkles on his face.
"Oh, the young master is sending a text message, saying that he has made an appointment with a pastry chef and is going to learn a few skills to go home and bake a cake for you."
Xu Jianguo's face softened, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his mood improved a lot because of this sentence, "It's okay for him to have a heart, but it's not good to always be so gentle and kind when receiving people."
The butler smiled but said nothing. At this moment, the car door opened, and a handsome young man got out of the car. He was wearing a light green plaid shirt and linen slacks, looking particularly cool and handsome.
He trotted over, held Xu Jianguo's arm affectionately, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Dad, there was a temporary delay in the company just now, so you've been waiting for a long time. Does brother have any news?"
Xu Jianguo liked his younger son's tricks very much, raised his hand and patted the back of his hand, with a look of hating iron for not being steel, "I said don't come here, but you don't listen, now the company has something to do if you don't hurry back, you still have time to work. Worrying about others? You can exercise more now so that I can trust the company to you."
Xu Xinnian pouted, and said somewhat unconvinced, "But how can my brother be someone else? He must have suffered a lot in the past five years, and he will definitely want to see you as soon as he is released from prison."
Xu Jianguo snorted coldly, frowning unhappily, "Why are you still a child when you are so grown up?!"
"When he killed the old man, he didn't have a soft heart, and he almost killed you. Are you stupid or have no brains, and you still have time to sympathize with him? If you didn't come to me today, I wouldn't say anything. Take a step here, that renegade son is not my son of Xu Jianguo!"
Xu Xinnian lowered his head, his eyes turned red after a while, tears flashed in his eyes, and his big eyes seemed even more aggrieved, "Don't say that, eldest brother... Although my eldest brother misunderstood me, I have always regretted it. If I explained it clearly to him back then, maybe he wouldn't have been caught in prison, and grandpa wouldn't have died..."
Hearing this in Xu Cinian's ears, he almost laughed angrily.
Xu New Year's words seem to be defending him, but every word has ulterior motives. He deliberately reminded his father that what happened back then was because he was "jealous" of his younger brother, so he accidentally "killed" his grandfather. , really pull a good hatred.
Sure enough, Xu Jianguo got even angrier after hearing these words, his face was blue and his eyes were cold, "Enough of the New Year! I don't want to hear about that bad boy from your mouth again in the future, remember, you don't have any brother, I, Xu Jianguo, have only you now. A son and I will not forgive Xu Cinian for what he did, if you want to intercede with him again, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
One sentence scared Xu Xinnian to silent, he sucked his nose and pulled out a smile, "I see... Dad, it's because I don't want to make you unhappy."
Xu Jianguo's face softened slightly, and he glanced at the prison gate, only because he felt dizzy before agreeing to his younger son to come to this place, "Okay, since the company has something to do, you can go back first, I will invite Director Zhang for tea later, It's time to figure it out."
"Don't, Dad, can you at least find out about your brother's news before you walk? Otherwise, I won't feel at ease even when I go back to work."
Xu Xinnian pursed the corners of his mouth with a look of persistence.
He seldom disobeyed Xu Jianguo's words, but doing so now makes the old man look up to him. Although this youngest son is far less skilled in business than the eldest son, he is tolerant towards those who hurt him. Belly volume is exactly what businessmen need.
The housekeeper next to him was very moved when he saw Xu New Year like this, and couldn't help but say, "Yes, sir, since we are all here, it's okay to ask for news, not to mention that even if you don't recognize the son of the eldest young master, at least Don't worry about the Xu family's face, after all, it's not good to hear this."
Xu Jianguo was silent.
To tell the truth, since he was a child, he wished not to have the eldest son Xu Cinian, and now he is even more reluctant to let the Xu family have a relationship with a murderer. He has always regarded his face as more important than his life. Xu Ci Nian, this monster, he was too happy to be happy, how could he welcome this death star home again?
It's just that for this sake, the face of the head of his family must be preserved, and even if he is pretending, he can't let others say that he is cold-blooded and ruthless behind his back.
Thinking of this, he didn't insist any longer, patted Xu Xinnian on the shoulder, and sighed, "Okay, Dad knows that you have a good heart and are worried about your brother, I promise you to find out before you go, are you right now? Should I go to work in the company?"
Xu New Year's expression brightened, and he nodded heavily, "Thank you, Dad, for the sake of my brother helping you for so many years, if he is released from prison, take him home, I will definitely work hard, and I will take over the company in the future. I will only do better than my brother, and I will never let you down."
He wiped his tears and left Lincoln with the Xu family crest.
Xu Jianguo stood where he was, and after instructing the housekeeper to go to the prison to inquire about the news, he stood motionless, with no expression on his face, as if Xu Cinian's life or death had nothing to do with him.
Xu Cinian was standing not far from him, looking at his father's back in front of him at this time, it was difficult to move his whole body stiffly.
He was surprised that he could watch Xu New Year's performance so calmly.
First, he sent someone to assassinate him in advance to ensure that he could not leave the prison alive, and then he played this good show of brotherhood in front of his father. He looked different.
Although this kind of killing two birds with one stone was vicious and effective, it did not make Xu Cinian feel more uncomfortable. What really made his heart pierce was his father's determination and ruthlessness towards him.
It turns out that there is really nothing fair in this world. Some people will be spoiled even if they are bad to the bone. Some people are destined to be unpopular by nature.
The only trace of his past thoughts about his father disappeared at this moment, but he still didn't understand, even if the flesh and blood relatives were broken, the bones were still connected.
After a while, the butler trotted back with a pale face, leaned into Xu Jianguo's ear,, and said a few words.
"Are you serious? He really died inside?" Xu Jianguo frowned, his face moved slightly.
The housekeeper nodded, "It's absolutely true, I asked someone to check the release records of the second district for the last year, and there is no such person as the eldest young master, and the third district is very chaotic, and there are no taboos between men and men... So even The prison guards said that he probably really died inside. But this is not necessarily the case. After all, we did not investigate carefully, maybe there is a mistake somewhere, no, I will go to the judicial *law * Bureau to find out the news? "
Xu Jianguo didn't speak for a while, and there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
This kind of feeling is very complicated. It's like you raised a dog with an infectious disease since you were a child. You can't kill it with cruelty, and you can't get rid of this big trouble. Now the dog you have raised for many years has finally died, and you are used to it. Sex is still somewhat empty, but more of relief after liberation.
"Forget it, there's no need to investigate. It doesn't make any difference to the Xu family whether he is really dead or faked. Even if he is still alive, I will treat him as dead."
The housekeeper didn't expect Xu Jianguo to say such ruthless words directly, he was stunned for a while, and said in disbelief, "But... lord, he is your son after all, even if he makes a mistake and drives him out of the house, this is a life How can it be so easy to forget about death?"
Xu Jianguo glanced at him coldly, with a warning in his eyes, and the butler immediately fell silent.
He snorted coldly, and sneered after a while, "I don't even know if he is a man or a woman. This monster is also worthy of being my son? You have been in the Xu family for so many years, and you still need me to teach this kind of thing. ?"
This sentence was like a blow to the head, making Xu Cinian, who was eavesdropping in the dark, suddenly stupid. !
When it comes to the secret news of the Xu family back then, the housekeeper was also a little embarrassed, "Master, the eldest young master's body er... Although it is indeed a bit special, as long as we don't tell it, no one will find out."
This sentence directly aroused all the anger of Xu Jianguo, he sneered, his voice raised a little unconsciously, "Yeah, no one will find out! But once it is found out that the eldest son of the Xu family is a long body The monster in the womb is still a dead gay who slept with a man, and even killed his own grandfather and sent him to prison, you let me, let the whole Xu family's face go where!"
"If it wasn't for the old man to stop me, I would definitely not let this monster survive. When the old man was still alive, he protected him desperately and even-handed half of the Xu family into his hands. I can turn a blind eye to these things. Close one eye, but now that the New Year has recognized his ancestors, and he is a good boy who is down-to-earth and willing to work, what reason do I have to bring home a monster who is neither male nor female?"
Mentioning Mr. Xu, the housekeeper was also moved. The old man was so fond of the eldest young master that he even gave the whole family a gag order. No one could tell Xu Cinian about his physical defects, but he ended up in a tragic death. He really raised a white-eyed wolf.
"He died in prison, so he wouldn't have to mess with other men in prison and make AIDS or something like a disgrace to the Xu family, remember that you are not allowed to mention him in front of me again in the future, and don't let the New Year's Eve Knowing all this mess saves him from having to worry about having a hard time knowing that he has a monster brother."
The housekeeper did not dare to say more and nodded vigorously. Xu Jianguo raised his hand and glanced at his watch. It was almost time to drink tea with Director Zhang, and he had no time to waste time here.
The driver opened the car door, and he got into the car without looking back. He never glanced in the direction of the prison from beginning to end, nor did he give his eldest son the last bit of face.
The car drove away, and Xu Cinian froze in place for a long time without making a sound.
The images of the past flashed through his mind like lightning, and his father's disgust and contempt for him finally had a reason, but when he heard this terrifying truth with his own ears, he still couldn't believe his own ears.
He has lived for nearly 30 years, and at this moment, he realizes that he is an out-and-out joke. If what his father said is true, then he has become... what?
A deformed monster who is neither male nor female, or a dead gay who could contract AIDS at any time?
Haha, it's fucking funny, it's the funniest joke he's ever heard in his life!
Xu Cinian leaned his head against the tree and laughed uncontrollably. His eyes were sore. He covered half of his face with his hands. Even if there was no one around, he didn't want anyone to see his expression at this time.
He thought of his grandfather's inexplicable love and concern for him, and also thought of his mother's thousands of warnings when he was a child, telling him that he must never participate in the school's group examination, and the first time he heard that his father had an illegitimate child, the servants looked at him. His strange look...
It turned out that everyone knew the truth, but he was the only one hiding it.
So what is he?
After so many years of hard work for the Xu family and unreserved dedication, in the end, because what my father wanted was a son, and he was just a deformed monster, he could be cannon fodder openly and aboveboard?
He kept laughing, and at the end, he even burst into tears.
Uncontrollable hatred poured out of his heart. If the father knew that Xu Xinnian was not his son, but a lonely ghost from nowhere, what expression would he show?
Raising his head and wiping off the remaining watermarks on his face, he clenched his fists. Since everyone wanted him to die, he wanted to live tenaciously!
Live to see what those enemies will end up within the end!
When he needed help the most, the person closest to him did not hesitate to give him the most deadly knife, and he was killed and then reborn. Now that he has nothing, he has long been fearless.
Turning his head, he walked forward without looking back. This moment is worth remembering because Xu Cinian has been reborn.
