In the second half of his life, Wang Dacheng had a fortune and lived a high-class life. He had a high self-esteem and always thought that nothing in his life could stop him. But when Chu Huandong suddenly mentioned his old friend, there were many things he didn't want to forget. The past events also surfaced.
Twenty years of pampering made him feel embarrassed and ashamed at this moment, which finally turned into anxiety and anger. He felt like a crazy leopard hiding in his heart. He roared at the top of his lungs: "How can you be Liu Muchuan's brother? You Your surname is Chu. I checked your details carefully. Your father's name is Chu Qiang. He was an ordinary driver in a chemical plant. He was addicted to gambling. He died in a car accident when you were three years old. Your mother also died of illness later. You were six years old. You were sent to an orphanage when you were 11 years old, and you were adopted by an old lady named Shen half a year later. When you were 11 years old, the old lady also passed away, and you were sent back to the orphanage again. When you were 13 years old, you were adopted by me. Adoption, how come you are related to Liu Muchuan?"
Chu Huandong's emotions were well under control at this moment. He walked to the wine cabinet and got two glasses of wine. He walked back with one glass in front of Wang Dacheng and shook the remaining glass in his hand, which was golden. Under the reflection of the light, the amber-like brilliance seemed to penetrate into his dark eyes. With a bright flash, he said lightly: "Have a glass of wine to calm down. I want to tell you a story. You need to listen patiently for a while. .”
Wang Dacheng was a little stunned. He watched Chu Huandong sit down opposite him, with his slender legs stretched out casually. The halo of the chandelier fell neatly, hitting his nose and chin. There was a kind of perseverance in the lines. Perfect as a statue.
"I am not Chu Qiang's son. My mother had me when she married him." Chu Huandong's voice was steady and cold, as if he was telling a fact that had nothing to do with him. "Illegitimate children are a taboo in any era. On the topic, people would poke me in the back when walking on the street. My mother didn’t want to be pointed at and scolded, nor did she want me to be scolded as a bastard, so she took me to marry Chu Qiang.
In my memory, my mother was always depressed and sickly. When I was young, I didn’t know what was going on. Later, when I grew up, I realized that it was because she paid too much attention to feelings and felt that the life in front of her was uninteresting. She was not around to rely on, and the person she loved didn't care about her love, so she died of despair in agony.
My mother didn’t tell me until she died that my father was a very rich man. He was twenty years older than my mother. My mother first worked for him as a secretary. During a business trip, they both drank too much and something happened* **, and then my mother became my father’s lover.
Half a year later, my father’s wife found out about this and had a big quarrel with my father. My father relied on his father-in-law’s family to make his fortune, so he hurriedly gave my mother a sum of money and sent her away.”
Chu Huandong's mood was a bit complicated when he thought about the tragic death of his mother, but after nearly twenty years of life, he felt that when he talked about these things again, he was a bit like a bystander, without too many subjective feelings. , "My mother found out she was pregnant not long after she left her father. She knew it would be impossible to go back to her father, so she relied on her own money to marry Chu Qiang, who loved gambling, in order to find an honest life for herself and her child. face.
I have grown up in such an environment since I was a child. My mother has always been living in her own dream and is not interested in me. Chu Qiang is not good to me and my mother. I have known that I am an unpopular child since I was a child.
The eyes that forcefully look at me are always contemptuous and disgusting.
After my mother married Chu Qiang, she did not live a happy life. After Chu Qiang died in a car accident, my mother felt relieved. But my mother could never forget my father. When I was six years old, she took me back to see him secretly.
Dad, as a result, I heard that Dad passed away a month ago, and the cause of death was myocardial infarction. Mom was already in poor health, and after suffering this blow, she was bedridden, and she passed away within two months."
When Chu Huandong said this, he just raised his eyebrows lightly, showing no trace of sadness.
Wang Dacheng took a sip of wine and changed his sitting posture. He knew that Chu Huandong was about to get to the point.
"When my mother passed away, the family had no savings. I was sent to an orphanage by the civil affairs department. Like all children who grew up in orphanages after losing their parents, I gradually became sensitive and did not dare to speak loudly.
Know how to observe words and emotions.”
When Chu Huandong said this, he exhaled softly, feeling a little hurt. He always thought he had forgotten it, but in fact it has always been hidden in the depths of his soul. Orphans will always be orphans. No matter how powerful they become, no matter how rich they are, there will always be pain in their hearts.
The pain of being abandoned can never be erased.
"I lived in the orphanage for two years. One day a young man came to see me. He told me that he was my brother, the child of my father and his wife. He was twenty-five years old at the time.
My brother is very handsome and gentle. He smiles gently at me. He takes me to take a shower and buy clothes. He tells me that no one will bully me in the future. I can feel that he is really good to me.
But because my father and mother were never forgiven by my brother and mother, my brother did not dare to help me blatantly. He could only help me secretly. He hired an old man named Shen and asked her to adopt me, and then
My brother paid for my adoptive mother named Shen to take care of me and send me to the best school.
Although I was young at that time, I also knew that from the perspective of my brother, he should hate me and hate me. But after he found out that my mother passed away, he searched for me several times and spared no effort to treat me well.
Tolerant, kind, generous, and sincere, he is the best person I have ever met and the best person to me in the world."
Chu Huandong recalled those years, his tone still had a hard tone, but his voice revealed his thoughts. He would never forget that gentle and kind man in this life. He had shown care and love for him, such a careful hug, so soft and warm.
The language he used was that of a good brother who used to feel distressed and nervous just because of his cry. Even when his mother was alive, she had never been so pampering and close to him.
This kind of unique warmth between brothers is so precious and unforgettable to the little Chu Huandong who suffered hardships and grievances in the orphanage.
Chu Huandong shook the wine glass in his hand. The wine was good wine, and the deep aroma had already circled the rim of the glass and filled the whole room. He lowered his head, smelled it, looked at Wang Dacheng with a deep look and continued: "Brother once
He came to see me and brought over a very beautiful and kind sister. He was very excited to tell me that he was getting married. This sister was the person he loved most, his future wife. Her name was Zimei. My brother was personable and knowledgeable.
She is a talented woman, and her sister-in-law is gentle and kind, like a flower that understands words. After they got married, they lived a happy life like a fairy tale that everyone envied."
His eyes were as deep as the sea, tightly wrapped around Wang Da. His tone suddenly changed and he said jokingly: "Once upon a time, a farmer rescued a snake that was about to freeze in the snow. He used his body temperature to save it.
He survived that cold-blooded poison, but he was too loyal, kind, and too stupid. He forgot that ruthlessness and unrighteousness are the nature of snakes, and venom is the snake's reward!"
Chu Huandong raised his glass, drank it down, and said through gritted teeth: "My brother is that farmer, and everything he has was taken away by a person who is more vicious than a snake! This despicable and shameless person is his best friend.
, was someone he trusted immensely, but this scumbag did something as cruel as a beast and took away everything from him, including his life!"
It was a spring night in the South, but Wang Chengda's back seemed to be covered with a layer of cold sweat, and there was a tight chill extending from the back of his neck to his head.
"Wang Dacheng, you should still remember all those ungrateful and crazy things you did!" Chu Huandong found that his throat suddenly became hoarse and sore that he could hardly speak, his nose was so sore, and there was liquid moistening the corners of his eyes.
He couldn't forget the tragic scene he saw when he saw the news on TV and frantically broke away from his adoptive mother and ran to Liu's house. Puddles of shocking dark red blood, and completely cold corpses covered with white cloths. His brother was among the others.
The one who died the worst, the other party shot him five times in the head as if he was afraid that he would not die, but his eyes did not close until the end!
Chu Huandong suddenly pulled out the gun from his waist, and the bullet hole blocked Wang Dacheng's temple like lightning. There was a layer of blood in his eyes, glowing as deadly as a beast, "Wang Dacheng, you are responsible for all this."
Sin, my brother regards you as his best friend. He took you in when you were at your lowest, supported you, and trusted you. But you, a beast, after brazenly plundering his property, ordered more than a dozen hired workers.
Soldiers rushed to his home and shot his family with gunshots, but before doing these things, you used a trick to trick his wife out and then took it for yourself!"
Wang Dacheng's face looked a little gloomy. These past events had been tormenting him like a nightmare, making him feel uneasy every day. But he kept telling himself that love is selfish, and everyone will hurt many people wantonly for the love in their hearts.
Man, he just wants to be with the woman he loves most in his life.
