Aunt Xu walked towards Ling Yi: "Master, why don't you go back to your room and have a rest?"
Ling Yi nodded: "Okay."
Aunt Xu followed Ling Yi into the room, she sighed and said: "Mr. Ling's temper is like this, young master, don't take it to heart, you should eat and sleep, even if you can't go out, it's fine at home."
After Ling Yi entered the bedroom, he opened the window of the room: "That's right."
The cold north wind blew in outside the window, and Aunt Xu was taken aback: "Master, it's such a cold day, let's close the window."
Ling Yi's snow-white face was turned blue by the cold wind, his eyes were closed, his eyelashes were trembling in the wind, and his knuckles were clenched on the window lattice.
Aunt Xu reminded: "Master?"
Ling Yi turned around and smiled slightly: "I'm fine, I just want to open the window to get some air. Aunt Xu, go out first."
"Oh, good."
Seeing that Ling Yi's expression had returned to normal, Aunt Xu subconsciously felt that the other party's mood had calmed down, so she closed the door and left Ling Yi's room.
Ling Yi fell asleep on the bed, holding the string of emerald beads between his fingers.
After about twenty minutes, Ling Yi's cell phone rang suddenly. He didn't answer, but the phone rang again and again, and Ling Yi picked it up for the last time: "Hello?"
"Why didn't you answer the phone just now?" Meng Xihua's voice came, "Xiaoyi, are you at home today? I'll take you out to play."
Ling Yi was silent for a while: "I can't go out now, my dad grounded me."
"Fuck, is he the emperor, so he grounded you?" Meng Xihua was very dissatisfied, "Your father is too much, what did you do to be grounded by him?"
Ling Yi doesn't know how to speak now.
Everything can't be said now, Ling Yi lay quietly for a while: "It's just a little thing."
"Well, one day when he is at home, I will ask you to play. Your father wants to save face the most. It is impossible to say that he grounded you in front of me."
"good."
"Xiao Yi, are you really okay?" Meng Xihua said, "I always feel that something is wrong."
"I'm fine." Ling Yi said, "It's because the timing of what happened to me was wrong. If it had been two years earlier or two years later, it might have been different."
"whats the matter?"
"What do you do if you meet someone you really like, but your family disagrees?"
Meng Xihua scratched his head: "Of course I listen to my family. My family is not stupid. Things they disagree with must not be a good thing. And I'm engaged now, a marriage arranged by my family."
Ling Yi rubbed the center of his brows, and smiled inexplicably. He knew that there were some things he couldn't ask Meng Xihua.
Meng Xihua said: "Xiaoyi, are you worried that the person you will find in the future is not as good as Lingbo's? My future wife has an older brother. I don't know if you have heard of a big boss in the entertainment industry. He is in B He is very famous in the circle of the city's rich and powerful. He was in City C during the Chinese New Year. I heard that he is single. Let me introduce you to him? It's just that he is a round older than you, and he looks quite handsome. He is much more powerful than Zhou Zhiyuan. , Zhou Zhiyuan couldn't even get in his circle."
"No need." Ling Yi said, "I don't think about these now."
Meng Xihua sighed: "That's a pity. I heard that the elder brother of the Chen family is a face-controller. The handsome men and women in his company will definitely like you after seeing you. When will your father be home? Tomorrow? The day after tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow, I'll contact you then." Ling Yi said, "I also want to go out for a walk."
…
When Ling Hua arrived, almost everyone was there. No matter what they were doing in private, the bosses in the box had a good relationship with him on the surface. As soon as he sat down, a few people joked: "Why are you late again? ?”
"A newlywed can't bear to part with a beautiful daughter-in-law?"
"..."
Ling Hua sat down, smiled lightly and said, "The child at home has something to do."
Mr. Sun next to him smiled and said: "Your Lingbo is not worried. How many troubles have you caused in the past six months? Last month, I heard that he bribed a few gangsters... the female teacher of his school. I heard it for a while. I'm afraid, fortunately my bastard doesn't have such courage."
Ling Hua was displeased, but on the surface she said calmly: "The young man is impulsive, he just wants to teach that teacher a lesson, he has no intention of doing anything."
"President Sun, look at what you said," another middle-aged man next to him said, "Even if Ling Bo really got into a big disaster, Brother Ling and Zhou Zhiyuan are capable of cleaning up the mess for him."
"That's right, who doesn't know Mr. Ling is capable." Mr. Sun said, "Your boss—I heard that his eyes are not healed yet? What should we do?"
Ling Hua saw that Mr. Sun was deliberately not giving himself face today, and his face darkened: "We are still treating him."
Mr. Sun laughed: "Look at Mr. Ling's luck, one son is blind, and the other son is the devil king, who will not have a headache if this matter is left at home?"
"Especially the eldest son, tsk tsk, what a pity, the number one student in the college entrance examination two years ago, his academic performance is so good, and he looks so good-looking."
Ling Hua couldn't help but quickly changed the subject: "Chairman Feng will come over at noon today?"
The expressions of the others were a little more serious: "Mr. Feng has been very busy recently, and there are many things to discuss. It was hard to invite him."
Less than five minutes later, two men entered the box, with Feng Chu in front and Chu Zhuocheng following behind.
Ling Hua could tell at a glance that the tall man in front was Feng Chu.
Feng Chu was quite handsome, younger than Ling Hua imagined, and looked like he was only in his early thirties and less than thirty-five.
It was probably because the other party had too much wealth and was quite low-key and calm in dealing with things. Many times Ling Hua thought that Feng Chu and himself were almost the same generation.
Others stepped forward one after another and beckoned Feng Chu to sit down: "Mr. Feng, it's finally your turn."
"Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times, you are more powerful than the rumors."
Feng Chu has long been used to being flattered by a group of people, so he only responded with a few words of indifference and courtesy.
Except for Chu Zhuocheng, none of the bosses is younger than Feng Chu. They are basically in their 40s or 50s. The seats here are not ranked according to their seniority, they are seated entirely according to their worth. After Feng Chu came over, he was invited to sit here and offer cigarettes.
At the beginning of the banquet, it was impossible not to talk about business matters. After drinking for three rounds, Ling Hua also toasted Feng Chu: "Mr. Feng, I met President Chu Manwen a few years ago, and now I meet you." It's also fate, I didn't expect you to be so young, we all feel ashamed, I toast you."
Feng Chu raised his eyes coldly: "Don't dare to be that."
Ling Hua felt a little uneasy.
The others toasted Feng Chu, Feng Chu drank it readily, and toasted Feng Chu himself, Feng Chu said "I don't dare to do it", what does this mean?
After all, Ling Hua is Ling Yi's father, no matter what, he is Feng Chu's father-in-law. Although Feng Chu doesn't have any affection for Ling Hua, for Ling Yi's sake, he won't let Ling Hua toast to him. Not very nice.
A group of men kept smoking and drinking in the private room, and the smell couldn't be too pleasant. Someone called some particularly beautiful models over to please Feng Chu.
Feng Chu is not very interested in these things. He looks too cold, and his aura is obviously different from those oily and lustful middle-aged bosses. A few young models dare not come back after being rejected the first time, and began to look for better ones. Object.
Mr. Sun who spoke first asked them to perform a dance.
Feng Chu took out a cigarette, but before he lit it, Ling Hua had already lit it for Feng Chu: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, why is Mr. Feng in City C during this time? There are many interesting places in City C, I will I opened a resort hotel with my friends in the surrounding area for two years, I don’t know if Mr. Feng will give you face to go and play for two days?”
Feng Chu took a puff of cigarette: "I'm a bit busy these two days, I'm afraid I don't have time."
"My resort hotel is located in the North District of City C, which is quite close to the tourism project that Mr. Feng cooperates with the government..."
Before Ling Hua finished speaking, Feng Chu interrupted him directly: "Don't talk about business on such occasions."
Ling Hua could feel Feng Chu's hostility towards him, but he really didn't understand where the hostility came from. The dancing girl had a particularly beautiful figure, Ling Hua said, "President Feng, do you want her to toast you?"
"This time I come to City C mainly to accompany my wife and handle some work by the way. I don't play with outsiders."
Feng Chu's marriage is normal for Ling Hua, after all, the other party is in his thirties.
It's just that Feng Chu doesn't seem to be easy to mess with. I don't know that marrying such a hot wife can actually keep him from messing around outside.
At this moment, Ling Hua saw a ring on Feng Chu's ring finger, which was the wedding ring given to him by Ling Yi. Ling Hua continued, "Mr. Feng is actually married. There has been no news from the outside world."
"We have been married for less than half a year. He is young and his skin is too thin. He has never been taken out to meet people, but only to my mother." Feng Chu raised his eyebrows, his eyes were deep and sharp, "I heard that Mr. Ling's eldest son's eyes Blind?"
"The life of this child is not good," Ling Hua didn't want to talk about the family situation. If Ling Yi is all right, it would make him look good to talk about it. "There was a car accident."
"If there are two children in the family, they tend to favor the younger one and neglect the older one."
Ling Hua coughed: "The youngest son is naughty and mischievous, and the eldest son is more sensible. The adults will inevitably focus on the naughty one."
Ling Hua didn't understand why the topic suddenly turned to his two children as soon as the topic changed. He didn't like talking about children with others the least.
The cigarette in Feng Chu's hand burned out, and he pressed it in the ashtray. Ling Hua lit a second one for him.
"Mr. Ling's eldest son is very good-looking, right? I heard that everyone who sees him is full of praise for his appearance."
Ling Hua's heart sank instantly.
Feng Chu is married, so getting Ling Yi involved with a married person will definitely affect the face of the Ling family.
But——Ling Hua still has the chance to meet Feng Chu this year, after next year, the Feng family is not something that anyone can cling to.
Ling Hua remained calm: "This kid is really good-looking. I'll be in a resort hotel in two days, and the kid will be there too. Do you want Mr. Feng to come over? I'll ask the kid to toast you with two glasses of wine."
Feng Chu's eyes darkened.
This was the first time he had dealt with members of the Ling family head-on, and within a few words, he already understood Ling Hua's attitude towards Ling Yi.
Before, Feng Chu had doubted whether it was Ling Yi's stepmother and younger brother who were sowing discord between their father and son. Now it seems that Ling Yi and Ling Hua's father-son relationship is indeed extremely shallow.
Ling Hua always felt that something was wrong, but right now he couldn't figure out why.
Feng Chu said again: "Boss Ling's youngest son is going to be engaged to the Zhou family. Does the eldest son have a partner? I read some news recently, and it is said that the young master has a boyfriend."
"No." Ling Hua frowned, and then denied it, "My family rules are very strict. Without my consent, the children in the family are not allowed to make friends randomly. Some people start to spread random information when they hear the news. In fact, it is all rumors."
It was already noon at this time, Feng Chu thought that it was time for Ling Yi to have lunch, so he sent a message asking Ling Yi: "Are you home alone now? Have you eaten yet?"
After about four or five minutes, Ling Yi replied to his message: "Not yet, my aunt and I are at home."
"What do you want to eat? I'll deliver it to you later."
"No, I was grounded by my father, and I can't go out during this time." Ling Yi said, "The aunt at home cooked the meal. I don't have an appetite now. If I have an appetite, I will eat."
"Why are you grounded?"
This time Ling Yi didn't reply to him.
Feng Chu pressed the second cigarette into the ashtray.
Ling Hua pretended to inquire about the news casually: "Mr. Feng is chatting with Mrs. Feng?"
"Yes, he only has me now," Feng Chu said, "His parents don't care about him, now he has severed his relationship with his parents, and will not have any contact with them in the future. Only I will take care of him."
Ling Hua was surprised: "That's really a pity."
Marrying a rich and powerful man like Feng Chu, but severed ties with the family, it seems that it is not a marriage, nor can it bring any benefits to the family.
Feng Chu said coldly: "I'll go out for a while, Zhuo Cheng, you can have a drink with Boss Ling."
Chu Zhuocheng beside him hurriedly responded.
This place is not far from Ling Yi's home, Feng Chu asked the hotel to pack some meals, and went directly to Ling Yi's home.
Aunt Xu opened the door for Feng Chu.
At first sight of this tall and strong man, Aunt Xu was taken aback.
Feng Chu said: "I'm Ling Yi's friend, I brought him some food."
Aunt Xu hesitated for a moment, because there was no one else at home, she let Feng Chu in: "The young master is in the bedroom, he hasn't come out all morning."
Feng Chu pushed open the door of Ling Yi's bedroom, Ling Yi was sleeping on the bed, and he threw the phone aside.
The temperature in the room was extremely low, probably because the windows were open.
Feng Chu closed the window, stretched out his hand to hug Ling Yi out of the quilt: "I brought you lunch, get up and eat."
Ling Yi turned around: "Mr. Feng?"
Feng Chu took the coat next to him and wrapped it around Ling Yi: "Why is your father grounded? Because of me?"
Ling Yi put his arms around Feng Chu's waist, and buried his head in Feng Chu's arms: "Mr. Feng."
Feng Chu was so heartbroken by his embrace, he quickly took Ling Yi off the bed: "Tell me later, eat something to warm your body first, your hands and feet are too cold."
Ling Yi said: "My father may come back at any time, Mr. Feng, you leave first, I will talk to you when I am free."
"fine."
With Chu Zhuocheng dragging him there, it was impossible for Ling Hua to come back so early.
