Lu Cheng didn't ask any more questions. He gracefully raised his hand to fill a bowl of soup and pushed it to Luo Xia. He said softly: "Xiao Xia, have some of this soup. Your sister-in-law has been making it all morning. It's very good. It's your favorite taste."
"
Luo Xia picked up the soup, took a few spoonfuls with a spoon and drank it. Then he put down the bowl, wiped his mouth with a paper towel and said, "I'm full, so I'm going upstairs first." After saying that, without waiting for his reply, he
Pushed away the chair and left.
This is their current way of getting along, trying their best to ignore each other, but not really ignoring each other, and treating each other with respect.
Ali carefully observed Lu Cheng's expression and saw that there was a slight smile on his lips, without any intention of getting angry. He felt a little more at ease. However, he saw Lu Cheng taking the soup that Luo Xia had not finished before and changed into a gentleman.
He just drank it with a few gulps from the bowl, then put down the bowl, wiped his mouth with the tissue at hand, and said: "After eating, come to my study and talk to you about something."
Ali was left with a confused look on his face. He was the only one left to eat such a big table, and then it was full of dishes. No matter how rich it was, he would not be able to taste the food. He finished the dinner in a hurry, and walked away without much nostalgia.
I looked for Brother Cheng in the study. I didn't expect the room to be dark, and I felt a little uncomfortable. I closed my eyes before I got used to the darkness.
I saw little bits of firelight on the table, it was Brother Cheng who was smoking.
At this time, I naturally understood that Brother Cheng seemed to be calm, but in fact he felt uncomfortable in his heart. After all, it was still under the influence of Luo Xia, otherwise he would not be smoking alone in the dark with the lights off. Standing aside quietly, there was no
If you speak out, you will naturally speak after knowing that Brother Cheng has cleared his mind.
I didn't expect that this was half pay, and then I heard a deep voice coming from the darkness: "Ale, turn on the light." When the switch was pressed, the room was brightly lit, which was a bit dazzling. After getting used to it, I went to see Brother Cheng.
His face was only indifferent.
Lu Cheng motioned him to sit down and asked, "What do you think of what happened to your godfather this time?"
"What does Brother Cheng mean?"
"Before my godfather died, he left the place to Nie Yunfeng in front of us. Was he trying to guard against me or test me?"
Ali was shocked and said intuitively: "I don't think so. Mr. Hong has a plan to let the eldest daughter marry Yun Feng, so he wants to leave those situations to him to benefit his daughter."
Lu Cheng tapped his fingers on the table, extinguishing the lighter in his other hand. After pondering for a while, he suddenly said: "Aleh, you seem to appreciate Nie Yunfeng very much." Before he said anything, he was already in a hurry to help that person.
The boy defended.
Ali was silent, and he could tell that there was something in Brother Cheng's words. He did have some selfish motives. Because he and Nie Yunfeng lived and died together several times, he really regarded him as a brother. He really didn't want Brother Cheng to be suspicious of him because of this matter.
Especially since there was a woman standing between them, I was really afraid that Brother Cheng would stop trying to recruit her and attack him.
After considering his words, he said seriously: "Brother Cheng, although I haven't known Yun Feng for a long time, and I can't say how well I know him, I think he is a man in what he does, and he dares to do what he does.
.Take the case of Mr. Hong being arrested this time. He stepped forward regardless of his life. To be honest, I admire him."
Telling one's own personal experience is tantamount to expressing one's feelings, but keeping an eye on Lu Cheng's reaction, fearing that if he says the wrong thing and hurts Nie Yunfeng, it will be self-defeating.
There is a kind of man who shows a calm demeanor with every move and move of his hand, even the slight frown in his eyebrows.
This is Lucheng.
After a deep thought flashed in his eyes, he suddenly laughed: "Alie, there are really not many people who can be so admired and praised by you. That boy Nie Yunfeng, I did read it right. You can bring him to my place tomorrow.
I will arrange things for him."
When Ali heard this, he was immediately happy and noticed that his back was wet. It turned out that he was so nervous that he broke into a cold sweat. He walked out of Luo's house, picked up the phone, and made an appointment with Nie Yunfeng. He would pick him up downstairs at 8:30 tomorrow morning.
Now that I am dead and the case was found innocent by the court, Chen Yao's brother Cheng also exerted pressure. Not only is the world peaceful now, at least Nie Yunfeng no longer has to hide and can come out openly.
I believe Nie Yunfeng is also a smart man. At this time, he has no other choice but to follow Brother Cheng. Judging from the conversation he just had with Brother Cheng, Mr. Hong’s last wish may be to have a long life in Brother Cheng.
The thorn in his heart seems to be a hint to Yun Feng to give up the power in his hands and show his loyalty to Brother Cheng.
To be honest, Alie felt that he admired Brother Cheng very much. The man's depth and forbearance, he had achieved both. Just considering the disputes that Nie, Yun Feng and Luo Xia had, and Brother Cheng cared so much about that woman, he actually
Being able to tolerate it without pursuing it further requires a lot of patience.
Ali sighed, the matter was so complicated. It involved not only rights and women, but also many disputes. Take Chen Yao's matter as an example, it was not settled. Brother Cheng only suppressed him for a while, but later
There will definitely be waves again.
I got into the car and was about to start and leave when my phone rang again. I looked at the name on the screen and was a little surprised. "Hello? Yun Feng? Did you forget to tell me something?"
A deep chuckle came, "Alle, how about coming out for a drink?"
He also laughed. He happened to have nowhere to go. He couldn't sleep even if he went back so early. "Okay, let's go to Star City."
Xingcheng was a venue previously owned by Mr. Hong, and it has not been officially taken over by anyone yet. It is still open for business as usual. As we walked in, the young people watching the venue respectfully called: "Brother Lie!" He has always been known for his indifference, so
Walking inside with a frozen expression, someone came up to guide him and said, "Brother Feng has arrived first." After he smiled, he finally saw a familiar figure at the bar.
"Why don't you sit in the private room?" Alie sat in the seat next to him, glanced at the two empty beer bottles on the bar, and couldn't help but mock: "Drink beer? Why don't you get something else?" He specifically invited him out for a drink, and he actually did it.
It would be too bad to just drink beer.
Nie Yunfeng turned to look at him. His black pupils were as bright as obsidian. The corners of his lips were slightly curled up, giving him a bit of evil charm and maturity that did not match his age. The cup in his hand shook, and he took it from the bar and handed it to him.
After filling up the wine glass, he said: "Just beer, I don't want to get drunk, I just want to come and sit and talk to others."
Now that he said that, Ali no longer insisted. He picked up the glass and touched his, drank it all in one gulp, and commented: "The beer is too bitter." Nie Yunfeng couldn't help laughing, and while filling the glass for him, he asked: "
Are you still afraid of bitterness? Hold the wine in your mouth, touch the curls with the tip of your tongue, and taste it carefully, and you will feel that there is a sweetness in the bitterness."
Interest appeared in Ali's eyes, and he took a sip of wine in his mouth as he was told, but quickly swallowed it, laughing and scolding: "Are you fooling me? It's still just as bitter, do you think it's red wine? By the way, where did you learn from this?
Where’s the set you came with?”
As far as he knew, Nie Yunfeng was a poor boy. He entered the underworld after high school but not college. Where did he learn this wine-tasting technique? It sounded very professional. Nie Yunfeng also had a smile on his eyebrows, and his lips parted lightly as he said
He said something, but was drowned out by the heavy metal music from the speakers.
Seeing his relaxed expression, Ali turned around and pulled the boy aside and asked him to change the music.
Soon the soothing music sounded. Although he had no musical ability, he felt much more comfortable than the previous blow on his head. He repeated the question just now, and he was indeed a little curious. He only heard Nie Yunfeng reply: "Actually, no
I guess I have learned it, I just overheard the bartender introducing it to the customers when I was working."
Ali has heard of this. It seems that he worked in a Western restaurant before, and he probably learned it at that time. Foreigners usually have unique views on wine. Even beer can be said to be a fine wine.
.
"Ale," Nie Yunfeng called softly, turning his head and squinting at him, "Why did you come out to hang out?"
Ali was stunned. He did not expect that he would ask this, and his eyes became dark. If anyone else asked him about those bad memories, he would not say a word. But Nie Yunfeng looked at himself
His expression was so serious that he suddenly felt the urge to talk.
"The story is very cliche. My family was very poor and my parents couldn't afford to study for us. By the way, I also have a younger brother. In order to shift the burden from my parents, I dropped out of school and went to work. But without a diploma or academic qualifications, I couldn't find a job.
A good job. I had no other way out except to do some hard work. At that time, I was young and energetic, with a hot temper. I couldn’t stand the ridicule of others. Whenever my co-workers pointed fingers at me, I felt angry.
.One day, I couldn't help but hit someone and beat that person into a cripple.
A moment of courage caused irreparable mistakes. Not only for the co-worker, but also for his own family. The bottomless pit of compensation directly brought down the already poor family. The younger brother had to drop out of school, and his parents always
They scolded and blamed me, blaming me for dragging down the whole family. In anger, I left home and started following the gangsters on the dark road."
Speaking of this, he asked bitterly: "Do you think I was a jerk before?"
Nie Yunfeng shook his head. What he heard was not a cliched plot, but a man's sad past. In fact, many people have inevitable helplessness. When a person makes a certain decision, it takes a lot of courage. Back then
There must be a reason for Zhao Henglie to punch his fist angrily, and it is not just a so-called impulse.
And sarcastic remarks may seem like no more than fists, but they are like steel knives piercing people's hearts, especially when they come from relatives, which is the so-called cold violence. After that, Ali ran away from home because he didn't want to be a burden to the family anymore.
Bar.
He thought for a while and saw the pain in Ali's eyes. He must have regretted it, so he asked: "You are now settled, why don't you go back and see them?" At least you can support your family financially, right?
We won’t live the same helpless days of poverty as before.
Ali suddenly closed his eyes, and the scar on his face was clearly visible under the spotlight. Nie Yunfeng suddenly felt an aura of despair emerging from the man next to him, and his heart moved. Did something bad happen?

It's a cliched story, but what it tells is the cold blood in my heart.
