After Dongdong fell asleep, Gao Yan and Liu Yi generally did their own things, Gao Yan would look up some information in the study to read basic books, and Liu Yi generally handled some work matters in the living room.
So when the time jumped to ten o'clock in the evening, both of them were a little unsettled.
Gao Yan looked a little at the bottom right of the computer, turned his head and glanced at the door again; Liu Yi sat on the sofa in the living room, looked up at the clock, turned and glanced at the study door. Neither of them moved, sitting and continuing to do their own thing.
At half past ten, Liu Yi gathered up the documents, poured himself a glass of water to drink, and glanced unconsciously at the study. Gao Yan just opened the study door and walked out at this time, and the two looked at each other and took a look.
And then no one spoke.
Gao Yan withdrew his gaze and walked towards the room silently, and when he passed the winter room, he pushed open the door and looked inside the room.
Liu Yi stood at the edge of the dining table and raised his eyebrows.
Gao Yan glanced at the sleeping Dongdong, stood at the door to confirm that the temperature in the room was not too low before closing the door and coming out, but he could clearly feel an unscrupulous sight on his back. Gao Yan closed the door and walked back to the room, endured telling himself to be calm, and silently walked back to the room.
Liu Yi waited for Gao Yan to enter the master bedroom before putting down the water cup, and his fingers and wrists moved twice, as if he was making some kind of advance preparation.
The master bedroom was originally not large, the glass door was removed and replaced with a double bed, it looked a lot more spacious, Gao Yan stood in the bed and looked at the wall above the head of the bed, the "mountain flowing water" was gone, Gao Yan's gaze moved down, his eyes glanced at the length, width and height of the bed, how to see how to feel that two big men with an average height of more than one meter eight slept... It's really too small.
Liu Yi just pushed the door in at this time, saw Gao Yan staring at the bed and asked, "Look at what?"
Gao Yan pointed to the bed: "You bought it?"
Liu Yi said of course: "Of course not, Hu Lian ordered it." "The definition of a secretary is to sacrifice everything for the sake of the boss.
Gao Yan let out an "oh", silently complained in his heart, and then took off his shoes and half lay down on the other side of the bed.
In fact, being a woman also has innate advantages, such as the current situation, women can be shy to answer embarrassed to blush are taken for granted, but men can't, either sleep or roll, mother-in-law mother will roll to wear stockings as a mother-in-law. And men have to save face, even if they feel strange in their hearts, they must pretend to be on their faces!
When Gao Yan half lay down, he also considered the posture problem, and the knees that were originally supported were laid flat; Liu Yi turned off the headlamp and turned on a small desk lamp, also sitting next to Gao Yan. The two men were shoulder to shoulder, only a few centimeters apart, and the bedroom was very quiet, only the sound of air conditioning from the air conditioner.
Or go straight to sleep, Gao Yan looked at the ceiling.
Liu Yi suddenly turned his head and said, "About that Qiao Xing, can you tell me a little about him."
Liu Yi asked very suddenly, Gao Yan was stunned, and then remembered that he called a room service to Qiao Xing in the hotel during the day.
Liu Yi said, "You can try to talk to me."
Gao Yan frowned, but his expression quickly recovered, "I didn't think about how to tell you specifically, simply put, if I'm not mistaken, Qiao Xing is my other father."
Liu Yi was stunned, such a relationship was something he hadn't thought about, he sat up, turned around very seriously and said to Gao Yan: "Are you sure?"
Gao Yan: "I have known since I was a child that my other father is called Qiao Xing, but I am not sure about this Qiao Xing now, because I was too young when he left, and there was no photo of him at home." I didn't recognize it at all when we first met today, but he talked to us a lot about it, and it was a coincidence that the people he had met in places he had been to happened to be mentioned to me by my father before.
The
warm yellow light cast half a shadow outline on Liu Yi's resolute face, and Liu Yi said faintly: "What you mean is that he deliberately talked so much, in fact, he wanted to hint at you."
Gao Yan nodded: "I really think so." He is the boss of Hongyu, you are the CEO of Huarong, even if he wants to win over something, why should he call me up? And his attitude is also very strange, as if he intends to talk about something that I can add to it.
Liu Yi carefully analyzed: "He recognized it in advance and gave you a hint to guess his identity."
Gao Yan: "And he said it very obviously." There are some topics you may not feel good about, but there are some things that very few people know, and my dad has only told very few people.
Liu Yi looked at Gao Yan but did not answer, he lay back down, dimmed the light of the desk lamp a little more, and said, "Then Gao Yan, what do you want to do?"
Gao Yanping lay down and looked ahead, and said, "Qiao Xing left when I was very young, two or three years old, it seems that I basically have no impression of him, I only know that he and my father often quarreled when he didn't leave."
Liu Yi: "Why did you leave?"
Gao Yan shook his head: "I don't know, I don't know until now, my father has never mentioned it to me."
Liu Yi: "Do you want to continue this topic?"
Gao Yan turned his head to look at Liu Yi, Liu Yi looked back at him, his eyes were direct, and his black eyes seemed to contain some kind of power that wanted him to talk. But Gao Yan is not a person who is used to confiding, he is different from Wang Yincheng, Wang Yincheng is very frank about his past, because his experience has nothing to do with his life, but Gao Yan cannot, his origin determines his many future encounters, many things are doomed from the beginning, he has no way to get rid of it.
If something comes from bone and blood, it is not so easy to recall and confide, because you can never peel it out for the perspective of a person standing next to you, which will only cause bloody consequences.
Gao Yan did not speak, Liu Yi said: "I still have that sentence, if you don't want to deal with it, you can hand it over to me and let me handle it."
Gao Yan turned his head and said, "Don't worry, I'm very thick-skinned, and I don't mind eating soft rice at all in order to survive."
Liu Yi nodded and said, "Although you come to eat, you can't eat enough to tell me."
Gao Yan lay down, looking at the ceiling, Liu Yi also lay down, although the two did not lean, the distance was very close, Gao Yan said after a while: "Liu Yi, I really feel that the bed is a little small."
Liu Yi snorted, "It's okay."
Gao Yan: "Actually, you bought the bed, right?"
Liu Yi didn't speak for a long time, and after closing his eyes, he hooked his lips and smiled, "You know, I will be very faceless when I say it."
Gao Yan also closed his eyes and laughed silently.
At ten o'clock the next morning, Wang Yincheng came over with tangyuan, but Liu Yi was not there, it was said that the restaurant was recently releasing new products, and he also specially found a creative company to advertise, and the new store was being renovated, and he was very busy.
Dongdong knew that Liu Heng was the boss of "Orange" before and was particularly envious of Tangyuan, and today I heard that Liu Heng opened a new store, and he was even more envious, pulling Tangyuan's starry eyes and said: "Tangyuan, your father must be very rich, your father is a big boss!" The
three adults in the living room were about to spray, and in a blink of an eye, they all looked towards Tangyuan, Tangyuan blinked his eyes, and said, "Huh? I don't know how much money my dad has, but Ma Ma said that the restaurant is all my brother's, not my father's, and it will be for my brother in the future. There
were more stars in Dongdong's eyes, and he drooled with adoration: "Brother Dousha is so rich!"
Tang Yuan glanced at Liu YiEyes: "Dongdong, doesn't your father have any money?" Dongdong
turned to look at Liu Yi and turned around: "My father is not the boss, but my father has a big car, and my father said that I will also have a big car in the future." Tang
Yuan thought about it, suddenly very depressed, bean paste and restaurant, winter and winter has a big car, he seems to... Nothing! %>_<% Wang
Yincheng was happy, looking at Tangyuan's tangled little look, and said with a smile: "Doesn't Tangyuan have an older brother, let your brother divide you a little in the future." The
corners of Tang Yuan's mouth curved down, and he said loudly: "Brother will not give it to me!" My brother said that his money will be used by marrying his wife in the future!
Gao Yan almost sprayed with a sip of tea, Liu Yi had a smile in his eyes, and asked, "Dou paste now has friends?" Tang
Yuan was unguarded for all the moves, "Yes, my brother said that he doesn't have it yet, but he will definitely have it in the future." Dongdong
thought about it and decided not to marry his wife for the rest of his life with his car ...
Wang Yincheng went to pick up the bean paste, and Liu Yi drove Gao Yan and his two children to the villa first.
After Liu Yi got into the car, he remembered something, and turned to Dongdong and said, "Dongdong, let's go to Dad's big house later."
Liu Yi originally wanted to appease Shunmao and tell the child that his conditions were actually no worse than Dousha's family, but Dongdong had a "painful" expression on his face and said to
Liu Yi: "Dad, don't say it, I know, that house must be Dousha's family, I know!" After speaking, he also showed a look of "don't comfort me, I know you are comforting me".
Liu Yi silently turned his head, and looked down at himself, he couldn't figure out where he looked like he had no money.
Tang Yuan quickly said to Dongdong in the back: "Dongdong, the house really belongs to the uncle, not my father's."
Dongdong wondered, "Really? "I don't believe it, obviously the house of the Dou Paste and Tangyuan family is so big and big, and the house of my own family is so small and small, and it is not as big as Uncle Song.
Gao Yan was about to laugh in his heart.
Liu Yi drove towards the villa, the two children in the back seat you said a bunch of fairy tales, every sentence poked Gao Yan's laughter, people without children may not think, but as long as there are children, many adults' laughter will become very low, Gao Yan is one of them.
The two little cubs, Dongdong and Tangyuan, were talking about the big house at first, and then talking about the dousha.
Tang Yuan said that his brother must be rich in the future, and he must be very poor in the future, because his brother has a restaurant, and he has nothing.
Dongdong went on to say that he will have no money in the future, and his father's car may break down after driving for two years, and he will definitely be poor in the future.
Tang Yuan looked at the roof of the car and clenched his fists, saying that he must study hard and make a lot of money in the future.
Dongdong hesitated, did not follow Tangyuan's words that he should also study hard to make a lot of money on his own, but said, that Tangyuan you will divide me a little in the future, don't take it out to marry your wife.
Liu Yi and Gao Yan glanced at each other in the rearview mirror, Liu Yi felt that it was nothing, but Gao Yan was seriously aware of the problem of education and children's values.
Originally, there should be nothing wrong with swimming in the villa all the way, but Gao Yan answered a strange phone call halfway, and only after picking it up did he feed it, already realizing that something was wrong.
Qiao Xing's voice came from the other end, his voice was melancholy, and his tone was also very solemn, "Xiao Yan."
Gao Yan frowned, and Qiao Xing actually called him by his nickname directly, breaking the window paper between their relationship. Gao Yan knew that Qiao Xing would definitely look for himself, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, he thought that Qiao Xing would give himself a little time.
Gao Yan looked at Dong Dong, turned his head and looked out the window, and said, "What happened?" "He didn't intend to pretend he didn't know anything, because he didn't need to, and he didn't need to.
Qiao Xing wanted to give Gao Yan a little time at first, he thought that Gao Yan might not be able to recognize himself at once after he had been away for so long, and in turn, he actually gave himself a little more time to think. But when the front desk called up yesterday to ask about room service, Qiao Xing knew that Gao Yan must have guessed, and then Qiao Xing was a little unable to sit still.
If nothing was sent, Qiao Xing didn't know if Gao Yan guessed it, he would wait for several days and find an opportunity to test it again next time. But since Gao Yan had guessed it, Qiao Xing couldn't sit still at all.
Qiao Xing said, "Xiao Yan, let's find a place to sit down and talk, okay?" Qiao Xing's tone was very cautious.
Liu Yi suddenly got off the elevated at this time, and slowly stopped on the side of the road, as if he guessed who it was.
Gao Yan thought about it, reached out and patted Liu Yi's shoulder, Liu Yi turned around and nodded, Gao Yan said, "Okay, let's make an appointment." Qiao
Xing quickly reported the address, not far from the supermarket he met last time, Gao Yan said "yes" and hung up the phone.
After Gao Yan hung up the phone, he said to Dongdong: "Dad has something, Dongdong and Tangyuan go swimming first, do you know?"
Dongdong looked at Gao Yan, nodded, and said as before: "Then dad hurry up."
Gao Yan got out of the car, Liu Yi rolled down the driver's window, and said, "Call me if something happens."
Gao Yan stood by the car window and said, "I'm fine, you take care of the child."
Liu Yi: "Good."
Gao Yan took a taxi to the restaurant where he was meeting, there were very few people in the restaurant, and the receptionist came up and asked directly, "Is it Mr. Gao?" Gao Yan nodded, and the receptionist took Gao Yan to the private room of the restaurant.
Gao Yan entered the door, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Qiao Xing, and Qiao Xing stood up as if he was shocked, looking at Gao Yan's expression flashing, completely without yesterday's calm and calm.
Gao Yan looked at Qiao Xing, his expression was faint, the receptionist stood at the door and asked if there was anything needed, Qiao Xing shook his hand, and the receptionist politely closed the door and exited.
Qiao Xing looked at Gao Yan for several seconds before realizing that the two of them were standing, and hurriedly said, "Sit, sit, don't stand."
Gao Yan sat down opposite Qiao Xing, saying that he didn't have the slightest feeling in his heart that it was all nonsense, and it was not Gao Rongsheng or Gao Huanyu who sat opposite him, let alone Wen Ning, but Qiao Xing, they were bleeding the same, when he was very young, he called his father, sat on his shoulder to play, and also felt his father's love.
Qiao Xing looked at Gao Yan, and after slowly calming down, his eyes were deep, as if he remembered a certain period of time through Gao Yan, and said faintly as if he was talking to himself: "You are already so old."
This sentence is like the bloody beginning of all family recognition dramas, but Gao Yan listened to it but did not feel the slightest, although he could not completely be Qiao Xing did not exist, but father and son were separated by more than twenty years of blank, and it was not a sentence that could return to the level of "family affection".
Gao Yan looked at Qiao Xing very rationally and said, "I don't really understand your approach, I want to know what you are going to do." Qiao
Xing leaned forward, put his arms on the table, and looked at Gao Yan: "Xiao Yan, I don't ask for your forgiveness, you are not a child, you are already an adult, give me a little time to explain, okay?"
Gao Yan nodded, and Qiao Xing's face turned paleHe showed a very eager look, but quickly calmed down again and said, "Xiao Yan, did Gao Qian mention why I left back then?"
Gao Yan said, "Never, he won't even mention you."
Gao Yan's expression flashed, and there was a trace of helplessness in his eyes, "I only learned at the beginning of this year that Gao Yan wanted me to go more than twenty years ago, lied to me that he fell in love with someone else, and said that you are not my child either."
Gao Yan was stunned, he had thought about many situations a long time ago, but he didn't think about this alone, because it was too bloody, he felt that such a thing could not happen in life, he knew that when he was very young, the situation at home was very bad, Gao Yan was under too much pressure and often quarreled with Qiao Xing and broke things, but he never thought that Gao Qian would do such a thing.
In Gao Yan's heart, Gao Qian is an extremely insecure person, but if he can grab even a little thing that makes him feel at ease, he will hold on to it, if Gao Qian loves Qiao Xing very much, then he will not let go at all, it may be that Qiao Xing can't stand it and leave helplessly.
Gao Yan looked at Qiao Xing, didn't say anything, and didn't even have the slightest emotion on his face.
Qiao Xing thought that Gao Yan didn't believe it, and explained: "Gao Qian had a classmate at that time, I don't know if you know him or not, surnamed Zheng, Gao Yan said at that time that he fell in love with that person, and the child was also his." I met him at a convention show in May, he was married long ago, his wife was there at the time, and he later told me that Gao Qian had lied to let me go. Qiao Xing felt that he was incoherent, and he wanted to find his train of thought, but every time he said the word "high dive", Qiao Xing felt that his sanity was constantly collapsing.
How to explain it? And how to say it to Gao Yan? Will he believe it? Qiao Xing kept questioning himself, and finally could only look at Gao Yan, hoping that Gao Yan would have some reaction.
Gao Yan has been silent about the author, his eyes are looking straight at him, and he has not spoken for a long time.
Qiao Xing thought that Gao Yan still didn't believe it, and said, "I should do whatever you think, because no matter what, I have been away for more than twenty years." Everything I say now is the reason, I just want you to give me a chance, I have thought about you for a long time, but I have never been able to find it, Gao Qian said before that he likes the environment of H City, I think you may have moved over, I..."
Gao Yan suddenly spoke: "Have you ever been back?" Qiao
Xing: "What?
Gao Yan: "Have you ever gone back to the courtyard where you lived before?" Qiao
Xing shook his head, "No. Gao Dian is extremely insecure and has to move once in two or three years.
Gao Yan pulled his lips and sneered: "We have lived there since you left, and we have not moved until I left."
Gao Yan's cold words were sarcastic, mocking Qiao Xing when he came back to find people who didn't even go to the place where he left to see, and did not go to see if there were still people living there.
Originally, Gao Yan just wanted to listen to Qiao Xing finish and then tell Qiao Xing his results, but he suddenly came back to his senses, and he finally understood why Gao Qian, who was so insecure, lived in that small courtyard for so long.
It turned out that Gao Dian had been waiting for Qiao Xing.
Maybe as Qiao Xing said, Gao Qian let Qiao Xing leave to live a new life and bear everything by himself, but why did he stay in place all his life? He had been bound by the Gao family all his life, had he never had the slightest chance to leave for so many years?
Gao Yan finally understood, it was not a chance at all, he never wanted to leave, he let Qiao walk, but in the end he trapped himself and made himself miserable for a lifetime.
Gao Yan stood up and prepared to leave, he felt that there was nothing to say at the beginning, and now he feels even more unnecessary, Gao Yan is already dead, what is necessary?
However, the moment he got up, thunder and lightning flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered that Gao Qian was dead, didn't Qiao Xing know it?
Gao Yan looked at Qiao Xing, Qiao Xing hurriedly returned to his senses and stood up, he was about to say something, when he heard Gao Yan expressionless: "Don't you know yet, he is dead?"
"What... What the? Qiao Xing thought that he had misheard, and was obviously stunned.
Gao Yan said, "Gao Qian has died, two years ago. Qiao
Xing's whole person was shocked, as if he was struck by thunder, his mind was blank, his ears were buzzing, he subconsciously felt that he had misheard, it must be, but when he looked at Gao Yan, a blood light exploded in his heart, and the blood of all limbs began to flow backwards, the blood supply in his brain was insufficient, and his legs could not stand.
Qiao Xing's pupils shrank, and he took two steps back in panic, his facial muscles and arms trembling.
Gao Yan looked at Qiao Xing, there was no trace of emotion in his heart, and Qiao Xing's reaction could not stir half a ripple in his heart.
In the advanced stage of high-potential liver cancer, he has been accompanying the bedside to take care of it, watching with his own eyes how Gao Qian endured the pain and finally died of suffering, he learned craftsmanship with Gao Qian since he was a child, and the person he admired the most was Gao Qian, they have always depended on each other, but in the end, he watched his father, the person he admired the most, little by little tortured by the disease to the point that there was no human shape, and there was no 70 pounds when he died.
So now looking at Qiao Xing's pain, he really didn't think it was anything.
Gao Yan turned to leave, and when he opened the doorknob, he turned his head and said, "My father didn't mention you before he died, and I can't find a reason to recognize you." Qiao
Xing's muscles twitched, holding the table and standing up, but Gao Yan had already turned around and opened the door and left, Qiao Xing stretched out his arm towards the door, his throat shrugged up and down, and finally fell to the ground, he wanted to chase out, but climbed several times and fell back. In the end, Qiao Xing gave up and cried out in a hoarse voice, tears fell on the floor tiles, but except for pain, his heart suddenly emptied.
Because the person he has been concerned about for more than twenty years is dead, long dead.
They used to say that when they died, the ashes were packed in a box, buried in the ground, and kept together for several lifetimes. But in the end, Gao Dian died, so many years before him.
He also never knew that when he left empty-handed more than twenty years ago, it was the last time in their lives.
After Gao Yan walked out of the restaurant, he stood on the corner of the street and smoked a cigarette before going to Liu Yi's villa.
When I got out of the car, I saw Liu Yi standing at the door with a change of clothes, and there was obvious concern in my eyes when I saw him.
Liu Yi walked towards Gao Yan and asked, "Did you make it clear?"
Gao Yan didn't answer, his eyes were a little scattered, he looked behind Liu Yi for a long time before looking at Liu Yi and said, "My father asked me to find Qiao Xing before he died."
Liu Yi felt that Gao Yan was not quite right, and hurriedly held Gao Yan's shoulders with both hands, and bowed his head: "Gao Yan!"
Gao Yan shook his head and said, "I'm fine." Suddenly, he said, "He asked me to put the ashes in a bottle, found Qiao Xing and brought them to him, I nodded and agreed to him, but I regret it now." You see Gao Qian, he waited like a fool for so long, and in the end no one came back to find him.
Liu Yi looked at Gao Yan and saw too many emotions in Gao Yan's eyes, he didn't know what to say to comfort Gao Yan, he could only reach out and pinch Gao Yan's neck and hug Gao Yan into his arms.
Gao Yan's throat flipped up and down, and finally he only laughed at himself, "I'm going to burn paper for my dad when I turn back, and take a brush to write countless 'fools' on the paper money!" "
