Chapter 20
When Shu Xing came home from get off work, without accident, Zheng Huailu cooked another delicious meal. When he heard the movement, the man poked his head out from the kitchen, his face was full of joy: "Brother Shu!"
Most of the exhaustion in Shu Xing's heart dissipated immediately, and he responded, "Hey."
Zheng Huailu frowned slightly, and came out of the kitchen with a spoon: "Brother Shu, what's bothering you?"
Shu Xing leaned against the entrance and looked at him with a chuckle: "Are you a fortune teller?"
Zheng Huailu followed suit with a smile: "No, I just like to show love to Brother Shu."
"It's okay." Shu Xing shook his head, and made a decision when changing shoes, so he won't tell Zheng Huailu about his grandpa. Powerless to parry.
I don't know where the illusion came from.
Shu Xing didn't talk about Zheng Huailu and didn't ask too much. When it was Saturday, Shu Xing got up and picked out a suit with a calm color. The tie was ironed by Zheng Huailu. Just after he tied it, Shu Yecheng called: "Do you remember what I told you last time?"
"Grandpa." Shu Xing began to have a headache: "I'm here to explain to you personally, but Xiao Zheng forget it..."
"Okay, my people are ready, go and invite him in person." Shu Yecheng said decisively, without any room for negotiation.
Shu Xing hung up the phone and sighed, Zheng Huailu's tentative voice sounded behind him: "Brother Shu?"
Shu Xing turned around, put one hand in his pocket, his upper body was basking in the sun, and the chain of his glasses shone brightly with the slight sway, which attracted the greed in Zheng Huailu's heart to poke his head out of the abyss, but he followed closely He noticed the hesitation in Shu Xing's eyes.
"Xiao Zheng, are you happy with Brother Shu?" Shu Xing asked.
Zheng Huailu seemed to understand something, his expression was dim at first, and then filled with anxiety, "Brother Shu, did I do something wrong?"
"No, you're fine." Shu Xing couldn't bear it anymore, he led Zheng Huailu to sit down on the sofa, and tried to speak concisely and without hurting others: "My grandfather found out about our relationship, and also made a general investigation about you, you You know, the old man is stubborn."
Zheng Huailu had an epiphany: "He disagrees?"
"Yeah." Speaking of which, Shu Xing opened his mouth: "Grandpa wants to see you, but I respect your opinion, Xiao Zheng, you will face many uncontrollable things when you go back with me, brother Shu is not omnipotent, there is always me When you can't keep your eyes on, I don't want to embarrass you, and I don't want you to live in fear. If you feel powerless, I can send you away."
Zheng Huailu stared deeply into Shu Xing's eyes: "Brother Shu wants to break up with me?"
"No." Shu Xing smiled: "I want to hide it from Grandpa temporarily, I don't want you to..."
"I'll go with Brother Shu." Zheng Huailu interrupted, his expression gradually firm: "I can handle it."
It’s like a child who gets something he’s longing for, stepping on the old stool and standing on tiptoe, as long as he can touch it, it doesn’t matter if he gets burned or falls down, what Zheng Huailu showed Shu Xing is for him to put all his eggs in one basket determination.
Shu Xing looked at the young man in front of him, couldn't hold back, and slowly stretched out a hand.
Brother Shu... Zheng Huailu called out in his heart.
Shu Xing was sitting in the living room. After drinking a cup of tea, Zheng Huailu came down from upstairs. He was tall and straight in a suit and leather shoes. His smoggy hair was tied behind his head, and the broken hair in front was sprayed with hairspray, revealing his smooth forehead. When he smiled, his brows and eyes looked inexplicably cold.
"Follow me when I get back, mainly to meet grandpa." Shu Xing looked at the scenery outside the window and said in a low voice, "If grandpa said something too much..."
"I won't take it to heart." Zheng Huailu looked peaceful, stretched out a hand to squeeze Shu Xing's palm, with a reassuring force.
Shu Xing sometimes thinks that he doesn't know what Zheng Huailu has experienced to be so careful and well-behaved.
Shu Yecheng lives in his ancestral house. Looking at the old red walls and green tiles from the outside, it is hard to buy. The century-old phoenix trees on both sides of the road spread to the end. atmosphere of the times.
When Shu Xing and the others arrived, the door was already full of luxury cars, and the old butler was welcoming the guests at the door. When he saw Shu Xing, his eyes lit up and he stepped forward.
The old housekeeper's surname is Zhang, and everyone in Shu Xing's generation calls him "Uncle Zhang". He has been managing the old house for almost 40 years, and his facial features can vaguely show the handsomeness of his youth. He graduated from a prestigious school and has an extraordinary conversation.
"Back?" Uncle Zhang smiled.
As soon as the words were finished, seeing the car parked, a slender young man came down from above. He stood against the light, leaving only a black silhouette, and the branches and leaves of the plane tree swayed wantonly behind him.
Zheng Huailu walked over, his facial features gradually became clear, even though Uncle Zhang knew countless people, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.
"Your honored guest." Uncle Zhang remained calm and made a "please" gesture: "Go and sit inside."
Seeing the back of Shu Xing and Zheng Huailu leaving side by side, Uncle Zhang walked to a place where no one was around, and then took out his phone.
In the study, Shu Yecheng said "um" a few times, then hung up the phone, he stood up, already in his seventies, but he was full of energy, his steps were steady, his rare thick hair, although it was all silvery white, and his eyes were very serious With a sense of oppression.
The decorations in the hall are mostly mahogany, and almost all of them look like town house objects.As soon as Shu Xing and Zheng Huailu came in, they attracted everyone's attention. Shu Xing looked around and saw Shen Cheng and his father Shen Yuandao in the crowd.
Shen Yuandao was counted as half of Shu Yecheng's student, and he had a good relationship with Shu's father in the early years, so he could come naturally, but after all, Shu Xing and Shen Cheng had such troubles, how embarrassing.
So Shu Xing didn't go there, just picked up a glass of wine and respected Shen Yuandao from afar.
Shen Yuandao accepted it when he bumped into each other in the air, and turned his head with a gloomy expression, angrily reprimanded Shen Cheng, it seemed that he knew the reason for their breakup.
Shen Cheng listened absent-mindedly, never expecting that Shu Xing really brought someone here, on such an occasion, is he worthy of Zheng Huailu? !
Soon, Shu Yecheng came down from upstairs, and everyone greeted him immediately. Shu Xing stepped forward with a respectful and humble attitude: "Grandpa."
"Yeah." Shu Yecheng should be indifferent, but he glanced at Shu Xing with unconcealed pity, his only grandson, all his hard work, and connected blood, so he wanted to see who was wrong. long-eyed...
"Mr. Shu." Zheng Huailu reported himself, and immediately caught the old man's attention.
Shu Yecheng's mind was full of bullet screens, the favorite phrase among young people nowadays, "That's it?"
That's just unusual.
Shu Xing is kind by nature, he doesn't like to judge others with evil, and he has a filter for Zheng Huailu, so he was caught in a maze for a while and couldn't break free, but Shu Yecheng was different. He looked at the young man in front of him with an unforgettable appearance, Gentle and excellent temperament...More than that, cut away this layer of appearance, it is the thoughtfulness and cruelty cultivated from the bloody storm, Shu Yecheng saw the sharp claws flashing past the abyss, his heart fell hard , I thought it was a vain market, but now that I looked closely, it was hidden.
