“You kneel down for me.” Zhong father face, “from childhood I am how to teach you.”

Zhong family father and son feelings on the surface is not very intimate, Zhong father is a typical Chinese father, Zhong Yu strict requirements, that he was ready to send Zhong Yu to the army to exercise exercise, but Yang Qiong do not rely on, and then the matter will not be settled.

Zhong Yu glanced at his father’s face, his legs slowly curved down, he could not help but think of his father as a child, he was often punished by kneeling.

Zhong father glared at him coldly, cold brow cold, “Mei Zi, go to the study to bring the cane.”

The corner of Yang Qiong’s mouth twitched, “I said what are you doing, how old is he. Xiao Mei, you rest.”

Father Zhong forgot to look at the little nanny, Mei Zi swallowed her throat, who the hell should she listen to.

“Go get the cane.” Father Zhong repeated in a cold voice.

Mei Zi looked at Yang Qiong, who had a blue face, hateful and angry, but trying to hold back. “I’ll go and get it.” She anxiously brought the cane over from the study and handed it to Father Zhong.

“The vertical son cannot be taught.” “Splat,” a crunching sound and a heavy smack.

Yang Qiong gritted her teeth and skimmed her face, her fingers viciously pinching her palm, finally slowly glancing over her head.

Small nanny to the Zhong family for several years, the Zhong family elders, although high, but is a very kind person, she is also very good.

Zhong Yu forehead corner gradually seep out sweat, he is wearing a shirt, these few down, vaguely visible signs of blood red. He stiffened his body, not moving a muscle, not even frowning.

Sweat slowly followed his temples, he tightly tensed his jaw, his face was stunned.

That one time, how could Yang Qiong not be heartbroken. “Well, you’re going to beat him to death, huh?” She finally couldn’t give up, deadlocked her husband’s hand.

Father Zhong held up the cane and looked at his son, his anger unabated, “You just protect him!”

Yang Qiong doesn’t care, this is the son she gave birth to in October, her heart aches, “I’ll protect, if you want to beat even me together.” She closed her eyes and blocked in front of him.

“You – nonsense.”

“Zhong Zhen Guo–” Yang Qiong coldly shouted his name.

“Mom-” Zhong Yu coughed, “Xiao Mei helped my mom upstairs to rest.”

Yang Qiong gritted her teeth and shook off Zhong father’s hand, looking at the blood on her son’s back, she sniffled, “Dare I say that your son isn’t yours, you simply beat me along with him.”

Zhong father held up the rattan weave and raised the air in a staccato manner, “You just spoil him.” Father Zhong grunted heavily and turned to leave.

Yang Qiong carefully lifted Zhong Yu’s shirt this time, when he saw the interlocking bruises, his heart ah another heartache, “Does it hurt?”

Zhong Yu slowly stood up and sat on the sofa to the side, “Mom, it’s fine.” He knew that his father had not hit hard, or he would have gotten down.

Yang Qiong was furious. Xiao Mei had long since run off to find the ointment. Yang Qiong put on the ointment for him, “In the past, I told you not to mix, look at it, now ah, the daughter doesn’t even recognize you.”

Zhong Yu closed his eyes.

Yang Qiong sighed, “You give me to hurry to pick up Jian Mo and Lemon back.”

Zhong Yu smiled bitterly, “Mom, you don’t care. I have plans for this matter.”

“What plans do you have? Huh?” She snapped a hand to his back, “Don’t think that if you take a few hits from your dad, this will be over. Your dad is old fashioned, this thing with you ah-” she sighed and fell silent.

Zhong Yu rested at home for two days, the body’s injuries well half. The city organized learning, Zhong Yu these days upset, so sex and the upper said to go to study.

He did not expect to meet Zhou Zhi, these years, the two basically broke contact.

Evening organization dinner, the two sat together. A table of shallow conversation, only the two of them unusually silent.

“I say Zhong Yu Zhou Zhi what’s the matter with you two ah, tired of learning today?”

Zhou Zhi lifted his wine glass and shook it slightly, he took a sip and stood up, “I’m going back.”

“What’s wrong with him, I haven’t seen him like this before.” Someone at the table asked.

Zhong Yu pursed a sip of wine, not long after, he also left the table.

The compound was quiet, he didn’t walk a few steps, he saw the familiar figure standing in front of him, smoking a cigarette under a tree, the smoke lingered, but it added a bit of mature man’s flavor. Every one of them had changed over the years. He paused slightly for a few seconds and walked over.

“Give me one.” Zhong Yu said.

Zhou Zhi took a hard drag and flicked the cigarette away as he turned to him, “It’s really been a long time, Director Zhong.” Zhou Zhi’s tone was undisguisedly cold.

Zhong Yu glanced at him, his gaze pausing slightly at the ring on his ring finger. When he and Qian Yu got married last year, Qian Yu even opened the phone to him, saying that he wouldn’t be invited. Qian Yu that girl although the heart of the mind is quite a lot, but to Zhou Zhi is sincere, otherwise it will not try every possible way to want to marry him.

He slightly hooked the corner of his mouth, “I haven’t congratulated you yet, I heard that you became a father a few days ago.”

Zhou Zhi smiled, “I also heard about it, Director Zhong’s daughter is in kindergarten, same happy, same happy. It’s just that I have to wait for a year before I can hear him call out ‘dad’, it’s not the same for our Director Zhong.”

When Zhong Yu heard his words, he just faintly skimmed the corners of his mouth. He knew that Zhou Zhi was undermining him. He was the one who was wrong about what happened back then after all.

“Zhou Zhi, I was sorry back then.”

Zhou Zhi snorted coldly.

“But even if there was no me back then, you and her would still end up like this in the end.”

Speaking softly, Zhou Zhi raised his sword brows, “You are good at foreseeing things.”

He smoothed down the anger in his chest, after so many years, he hadn’t let go, “Zhong Yu, you treated her that way, aren’t you afraid of retribution? How can you be cruel.”

Going to lie to her!

Zhong Yu’s tone was calm, “Well, if there is retribution, I’m willing to do it.”

Zhou Zhi could not help but shake his head, “Then I will wait and see.”

Zhong Yu looked at the bright moon in the night sky, it was time for him to go to the door to apologize for his crimes.

Ning’s house.

Jian Mo was teaching Lemon to draw. Lemon was scribbling haphazardly with a crayon. Jane Mo looked down, “Why are you scribbling again.”

Lemon turned her face sideways, “Mom, the teacher said we have to draw a family this time. Our kids said they want to draw mom and dad and themselves, I seriously considered it for a long time, dad draw john.” Her eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Under the warm orange light, Jane Mo’s expression was slightly bitter, she raised her hand and touched Lemon’s head, “But, john and we are family.” Lemon gradually grew up, and her father’s role was quite a bit absent in her growth or lack thereof. In the end, she owed this child.

Lemon didn’t understand the meaning of “family”, she smiled cheekily, and with a stroke of a brush, Ning Qingyuan’s portrait came out in a few moments. “Mom, look, isn’t it handsome?”

Jane Mo stared at the A4 manuscript paper for a few seconds, and a few black lines immediately stood up on her face, but calmed down just now, “Indeed …… it’s very handsome.”

That black mass is really too abstract.

“Don’t worry mom, I will draw you more beautiful. Of course it won’t exceed me.” Jane Mo began to sympathize with their teacher.

Downstairs, it was peaceful.

Father Ning and Mrs. Ning were each sitting on the sofa.

“Does your head still hurt?” Father Ning asked.

Mrs. Ning shook her head, “It’s just hard to think about something bloated.”

Father Ning said in relief, “Don’t think about it so much, just go with the flow if you want. The doctors all say that you’re in a good place now, plus you’ll remember it all after a while.”

“I don’t want to get up, I always feel like I’m incomplete.” She said helplessly, “Jin Jiang, thank you for all these years.”

“You’re still so polite with me, you’re my wife, anything is a matter of course.”

“It’s not just me, there’s also Mo Mo.”

Ning father patted her shoulder, “Alright, watch TV. The doctors are telling you to think less and strain your mind.”

Ning father tuned the channel, it was the right time for local news, and the camera happened to be broadcasting the movements of the leaders. Ning father just wanted to change the channel. Mrs. Ning’s voice came, “No need to change, just watch this.”

Accompanied by the anchor’s pleasant voice, Mrs. Ning couldn’t help but sigh, “Now that I think about it, I was really stupid at that time, I don’t know how well I’ve been living without him.”

Ning’s father but smiled without saying anything, the fact that she could come out on her own meant that she had already let go in her heart.

“It’s a pity that life can’t go back.”

“You’ve lived most of your life, and you’re still so sentimental. Living a good life in the future is the truest thing.”

Mrs. Ning looked at him, the corners of her eyes were actually content.

In the evening, she came to Ning Qingyuan’s room, who had just had a video conference with the American side and was slightly tired. Mrs. Ning looked at him with a reluctant heart.

“Qingyuan, just leave some things to the people below, don’t make yourself so tired, money is endless, sometimes you need to think about yourself.”

Ning Qingyuan nodded, “Auntie, I’m used to it.”

Mrs. Ning was slightly silent, this stepson of hers was positive and outstanding in every aspect, it was just that he had never been rewarded emotionally. Five years ago, he brought back Jane Mo. She thought that Jane Mo and he …… even she once thought that Lemon was his daughter.

In the past few years, she had been watching from the sidelines, and how could she not understand this child’s intentions towards Jane Mo.

“Qingyuan, Xiao Mo is your sister.” Mrs. Ning twisted her fingers and slowly uttered this sentence.

Ning Qingyuan froze for a moment, and a smile floated up on his handsome lines, “Auntie, I’ve always known that.” It was just that there was some suppressed dark light flowing in his eyes.

Mrs. Ning sighed slightly, “Although you are not related by blood ……”

“Auntie, you don’t have to say it.” He wrinkled his eyebrows, “I understand what you mean.”

Mrs. Ning looked at him, undoubtedly such a man would be liked by even the most picky mother-in-law. Unfortunately, Xiao Mo met him too late. Ning Jinjiang had shown her love and kindness, she couldn’t embarrass him.

“Qingyuan-” Jane Mo’s voice came from outside the door, she knocked symbolically and pushed her way in. “Auntie, you’re here too.”

Mrs. Ning looked at the milk in her hand and drew the corners of her mouth, “I have something to find Qingyuan, I’ll go down first. You guys also have an early rest.”

“What did Auntie say to you? Why do I feel like she’s been acting weird lately.” Jian Mo passed the milk to his hand.

Ning Qingyuan’s gaze lingered on the glass of milk and sank a bit, “She came to ask me if I’m going to Qin Qing’s banquet.”

“So are you going or not?” Jane Mo asked, she had known Ning Qingyuan for five years, and she had only seen one woman by his side, Qin Qing, and it should be different by and large.

“Go.” He said, “You have to go too, Qin Qing wants to see you by name.”
