When Xu Changge saw me, his body visibly trembled. He obviously didn't expect that we would meet for the second time so soon.
But after all, he had met people in the world. Although he was turbulent on the inside, he looked calm on the outside. He was smiling and walked slowly towards me.
Ben Tou was very ferocious. After seeing me, he barked violently and wanted to tear me to pieces on the spot. And a feeling of extreme fear also emerged deep in my heart. I knew this was what Xiaofeng felt. After all, Ben Tou
It is a ferocious beast that specializes in restraining fierce ghosts. As a fierce ghost, Xiaofeng is destined to encounter a natural enemy.
Xu Changge was quite polite and showed no hostility. He sternly scolded: "Bitou, don't be rude!"
Although Ben Tou is fierce, he is very loyal. After being called by Xu Changge, he immediately became honest. However, even if a Tibetan Mastiff is honest, it is still fierce, and its sharp eyes still make me feel hairy all over.
Xu Changge came over. Because of his head, he was five or six meters away from me and said, "Why are you here?"
Facing Xu Changge, I was still more or less nervous. Pretending to be calm, I whispered: "I came to ask you something."
After finishing speaking, I found that Xu Changge was not as friendly as I thought. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, wanting to sneer, but after all, he still didn't sneer. Maybe he felt that it was not polite to sneer in front of me.
He asked: "Can I ask you something? What virtue and ability can I give you?"
I knew that Xu Changge was still hostile to me. After all, I lived with his daughter without his consent, which was a bit too much. I quickly said: "That's it, I saw you..."
Before I finished speaking, Xu Changge interrupted me and said, "This is not the way to treat guests. No matter what the matter is, come on, let's go into the room and talk."
After that, Xu Changge walked in front and led Ben Tou and Doudou into the house. I followed behind. I always felt that these two dogs were a bit strange.
The Ghost Mastiff is indeed powerful and ferocious. It is reasonable for a rich man like Xu Changge to keep such a dog. But the puppy Doudou looks very inconspicuous. It is just a very ordinary Chinese pastoral dog. Why would a rich man like Xu Changge keep such a dog?
What about a dog?
Before I had time to think about it, Xu Changge had already taken me into the house. He tied his head and put Doudou in place, and then he took me to his study on the second floor.
After he sat down, he got straight to the point and asked, "Tell me, why are you here? Be concise and tell the key points."
I knew that the time of such people was precious, so I was not polite and said immediately: "I am actually here to find an expert through you, a Feng Shui master, Mr. Zheng, whose name is Mr. Mengdie."
When Xu Changge heard this, his eyes lit up and he said: "Oh! What a big statement. Mr. Zheng is a national treasure, and the story of Mengdie pointing out Yin and Yang has been widely circulated in the industry. Do you want to find Mr. Zheng?"
I'm afraid of Mr. Zheng but I don't want you to find him."
I don't know much about "one finger points to yin and yang", and I don't know what Xu Changge means. I just want to know if he knows Mr. Zheng, so I am not polite and ask directly: "
Do you know Mr. Zheng?"
Xu Changge smiled softly, suddenly picked up the paperweight on the side, gently put it on his hand to play with, and said: "Lin Yang, for Mengyun's sake last time, I gave you a piece of blood jade, now you have it
It's cheap. You don't just give in, why do you come to me for help? Your behavior makes me look down on you."
I knew that I was really in the wrong. After all, Mengyun’s father had nothing to do with me. He couldn’t help me just because Mengyun and I were classmates, so I quickly lowered my head and said, “Uncle, I know this.
The matter is my own unreasonable insistence, but this matter is really related to other people's lives. As the saying goes, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. I hope my uncle will help me this time."
Xu Changge nodded and said: "Lin Yang, although I don't know who you want to save, you are here to beg me after all. I gave you the blood jade before. It was a meeting gift, when an elder meets a junior.
It should be done, but this is the second time. You have already received the meeting gift once, and there is no reason to receive it again now."
I nodded. Xu Changge was right, and I couldn't refute it.
Xu Changge said: "So, Lin Yang, if you want my help this time, you must make a fair exchange. I am a businessman, and I never believe in doing good deeds or doing good deeds. I only believe in one thing, and that is fairness."
I nodded: "You are right, I really shouldn't reach out to ask for anything this time."
Seeing that I was also a sensible person, Xu Changge said: "This is how things are in the world. If you want to get something in return, you must first make a contribution. No matter how good the relationship is with you, or if you are a stranger, you can directly ask others for help."
Reaching out to ask for something is a despicable behavior, Lin Yang, you understand this and I am very pleased."
After a pause, Xu Changge continued: "Actually, my impression of you is not bad. I have inquired about you more or less. Otherwise, with my personality, I would not have let Mengyun live alone with you for so long. You
You are righteous, and you don't say anything to your friends or classmates. Sometimes others will even say that you are a bit stupid. You are willing to do your best for people who have no friendship at all... To be fair, I can't do this for you.
But I admire you."
Xu Changge's words made me feel warm in my heart. In fact, I really don't have many advantages. I am neither smart nor courageous. The only advantage I have is towards my friends and the people around me.
With a warm heart, I know that in this cold and complicated society, try to give a helping hand to others.
But what Xu Changge said next made my heart tense.
Xu Changge said: "But it is precisely because of your character that I will not entrust Mengyun to you. This is the little responsibility I can bear for Mengyun as a father."
I was stunned. I didn’t expect that Xu Changge would say such words after he praised her. I only heard Xu Changge continue: "The most important thing a man should love and protect is his woman. I didn’t understand it before, but when I had a daughter
, I finally understood this truth. The person I want to entrust my daughter to must put my daughter first. No matter what happens, he must protect my daughter's safety. But you... Lin Yang,
You can not."
I nodded, Xu Changge was right.
Xu Changge continued: "Even if my daughter's man is romantic by nature in the future, likes to hang out in romantic places, or even hide his beauty in a golden house elsewhere, as long as my daughter is the first priority in his heart, he will be willing to do anything if anything happens.
By putting my daughter first and not caring about others, I can safely entrust my daughter to him. But you can't do that, Lin Yang. Your characteristic is that you are too kind and too enthusiastic. If something happens to everyone, no matter whether he is yours or not,
My friend, you want to help. If you do this, you can only place the attention and protection that should belong to my daughter on others. Lin Yang, this characteristic of yours makes it impossible for me to entrust my daughter to you. You understand.
?"
I nodded, and my heart suddenly became extremely heavy. This kind of thing had never been said to me before, and I never realized it.
Xu Changge continued: "Just like this time, you came to beg me for someone else. Of course I don't know who the person you are for is, but I can see that you are very concerned about it. But what if you and my daughter get married in the future?"
We got together, and after you started a family, you are still like this, constantly running around for other people, outsiders. What do you want my daughter to do? Stay alone in an empty house? Being righteous is a good thing, being enthusiastic is a good thing, but in everything, going too far is never enough...
…”
Xu Changge persuaded me earnestly, and I finally understood the seriousness of the problem.
"I understand, uncle, thank you." I said sincerely, and my head dropped heavily.
Seeing that I understood, Xu Changge smiled happily, suddenly stretched out his hand, patted my shoulder and said: "So, Lin Yang, I can help you this time, but I have a condition, that is, from now on,
You need to draw a clear line between you and Mengyun..."
