No explanation is needed for being late, just an apology.
Chu He was late. Too late. So late that she was not even qualified to apologize. She would not accept an apology, even if it was sincere.
Driving aimlessly on the road, Chu He opened the wine bottle and poured it into his mouth one after another. The spicy liquor was so tasteless. I wonder if he drank too much bitter liquor, and he was already used to the spiciness and bitterness.
.
He rolled up the window and let the cold winter wind flow into the car, cutting the skin on his face like a knife. Chu He, however, seemed at a loss and just kept stepping on the accelerator and accelerating.
Bang!
The front of the car suddenly hit the curb and the car came to an abrupt stop.
Chu He, who woke up, couldn't help but laugh bitterly when he saw that the front of the car was damaged. Half a year after returning to China, this was the second time that the car crashed. He didn't know whether he was involved in a car accident or because he had trouble with the car.
Snap.
He lit a cigarette, took two puffs, took out his cell phone, and dialed a number.
The call was answered quickly, even though it was already early in the morning. This number seemed to be always open for him.
"Hello."
A steady and powerful voice came from the other side of the microphone. It was Chu Lin.
"Still not asleep?" Chu He asked pretending to be relaxed.
"Um."
Listening to that familiar voice, Chu He didn't know what to say. He just wanted to call the old guy, but he didn't know why.
"Happy wedding." Chu He said wisely in a hurry.
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a long time. You can imagine what Chu Lin's mood must be like at this moment.
Happy wedding?
How funny Chu He must be to call the old guy in the middle of the night and say these four words.
After a long time, Chu Lin said: "Thank you."
"Good night."
Chu He hung up the phone with a guilty conscience and laughed nervously.
…
Chu Lin hung up the phone. There was something strange on his plain face, but he didn't say anything. When he turned around, he saw Ruifang looking at him eagerly and said calmly: "It's okay."
Aunt Fang, who was holding a cup of coffee and waiting for Chu He's call, nodded slightly and said, "That's good."
After saying that, she put down the coffee cup in her hand and said softly: "It's getting late. Let's rest."
"Um."
…
The night of the second day of the Lunar New Year is destined to be a sleepless night for many people because of the arrival of Di Lin.
But it's not because Di Lin is called Di Lin, but because Di Lin's father is called Di Tian.
Not many people dare to lead a group of illegally armed mercenaries to do whatever they want under the emperor's feet. Even if they succeed, they will be investigated and severely suppressed by countless units and agencies. But Di Lin did not receive much pressure. It is not because he is known as the Big Devil.
.but because his father’s name is Ditian.
There are people covering up all his misdeeds, but only if he doesn't really do anything earth-shattering.
In fact?
He did not actually harm anyone, but he coerced two of the most powerful women in Yanjing, Zhuge Hongyu and Huangpu Ye Mingzhu.
How many people in Yanjing dare to point fingers at Zhuge Hongyu, or even threaten her life?
Di Lin did it. So someone must be pursuing it.
People could not find any trace of Di Lin, but they found ways to find people in Yanjing who cooperated with Di Lin and even wiped Di Lin's butt to settle accounts in the future. So from the night of the second day of the Lunar New Year to the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, there were many people in Yanjing
People can't sleep and are not in the mood to sleep.
Shang Tianya is not included in this list.
Not long after he emerged from the vortex of terror, he was in the stage of self-cultivation. He refused all invitations and dinners and lived in seclusion.
But some people can stay at home all their lives and know everything about the world, unless they don't want to know.
Shang Tianya knew that Di Lin was here. His senior brother's son was here. He also knew that Di Lin had done something quite sensational. The general public didn't know that something big happened last night, but at Shang Tianya's level, they didn't want to know.
It's really difficult. But to him, it's not a big deal. Because he knows and has always known that the Di family will come back. It will definitely come back.
He got up on time, opened an international morning newspaper after breakfast, and seemed not to be overly concerned about what happened last night. In fact, Shang Tianya did not belong to the two groups of people who were settling accounts and being settled.
What a fuss.
As usual, Tian Qi personally handed a cup of Pu'er to Shang Tianya who was reading the morning newspaper. Seeing that the master seemed to be in a dull mood, he couldn't help but curiously said: "The son of Emperor Tianya has come to China."
"Yeah." Shang Tianya's eyes fell on the economic section. He chewed the information carefully.
"It's a tie with Chuhe." Tian Qi said slowly. "Another strong figure who broke the painting."
Shang Tianya raised his eyes slightly and said calmly: "Where can the son of Emperor Tian be sent?"
Tian Qi was startled, and then whispered: "When I was young, there were not so many powerful people in China. Now this generation is becoming more and more amazing."
Shang Tianya pursed his lips slightly, took a sip of Pu'er and said: "Thirty years ago, people still retained the concept of learning from a master. It cannot be said to be a fork in the road. But practicing by the rules may not be suitable for every young person, and not every master.
They all have the ability to teach students in accordance with their aptitude. Nowadays, these young people are challenging their limits and breaking through bottlenecks at the cost of their lives. It is not surprising that they are in today's situation."
When Tian Qi received Shang Tianya's explanation, he was stunned and said with a smile: "So the young master traveled all over the mountains and rivers just to temper his body and mind?"
Shang Tianya smiled calmly and said nothing.
"Sir, does Di Lin's arrival represent the intention of Master Di Tian?"
It has been many years. Tian Qi has been unable to successfully change his story. Maybe it is just that the senior brother who is the head of the Three Kings has left a deep-rooted impression in his heart that cannot be erased.
"Whether it is true or not, I am happy to enjoy this good show." Shang Tianya said calmly.
Tian Qi frowned slightly. He didn't know which show to watch.
"Are we not going to do anything?" Tian Qi asked tentatively. "We have been buried for many years, and it doesn't hurt to send out one or two."
"The whole body is mobilized." Shang Tianya shook his head. "Xia Zhengqing endured the whole battle. Now he is not in a hurry."
If you don't take action, that's it. If you take action, you won't leave any room for maneuver for your opponent. This is Shang Tianya's code of conduct. It's also the reason why he remains standing. Those who want to bring him down can't bear Shang Tianya's seemingly understatement.
One blow. Until death.
"Xia Wushuang is still too young after all." Tian Qi said slowly. "Even if she has become a powerful figure, how can she make full use of the resources Xia Zhengqing left for her? Those people may not really bet their future on it.
On a girl in her early twenties."
Shang Tianya raised his brows, but there was a strange look on the corner of his lips: "You underestimate Xia Zhengqing too much. I hope you remember that he fell by his own choice. He was not knocked down by Di Lin. If Xia Zhengqing hadn't suffered from
Terminal illness for many years. Or maybe they had a real competition. No matter who wins or loses, they will lose."
Tian Qi's heart skipped a beat and he understood immediately.
Xia Zhengqing would never fall so easily. His glorious life was just forcibly interrupted by God. But even God could not take away the things he left in this world.
This wise man managed it all his life and left huge treasures and resources to his daughters.
Xia Wushuang is too young? Can’t control what Xia Zhengqing left behind?
Regardless of whether Xia Wushuang is really capable or not, Xia Zhengqing, a wise man who has the ability to control everything and has turned into a pile of loess, still lives in the hearts of those people. This is beyond doubt.
But Xia Zhengqing's death is an excellent opportunity. It is also a sharp blade that breaks the deadlock that has lasted for more than 20 years.
When a wise man dies, the world will be in chaos.
This is what Shang Tianya calls a good show.
He was looking forward to this scene and had been waiting for more than twenty years. Xia Zhengqing did not satisfy his curiosity, but Xia Wushuang embarked on this path step by step. As he said, once the two major factions on the oval table
In a head-to-head confrontation, no matter who wins or loses, they will lose in the end.
This was the reason why he didn't want to kill Xia Wushuang. On the contrary, he hoped that Xia Wushuang could live longer and longer. It was best to live until Di Tian could no longer survive.
Of course, this may be just a beautiful dream and it is difficult to become a reality.
After reading the morning newspaper, Shang Tianya was about to get up when a servant quickly walked into the hall and leaned over with a slightly uneasy expression.
He first reported to Tian Qi in a low voice, and then exited the hall in a panic.
Tian Qi condensed for a while and finally said: "Di Lin is here."
"Oh?" Shang Tianya slowly stood up and put his arms behind his back. "I received dozens of calls for help last night. Today he came to the door in person. He probably didn't come to help me wipe his butt, right?"
This was said very lightly and purely as a joke.
The people who asked for help were the guys who wiped Di Lin's butt. They knew that Shang Tianya and the president of the Shenhui had a friendship, so they came up with this trick. Now Di Lin comes to visit in person, why?
Could it be that he wanted to visit his father's fellow junior?
Shang Tianya said calmly: "Please come in, the young master of the Shenhui."
"Yes." Tian Qi went out and left.
After a while, a black figure strode over. The mixed-race face was filled with a smile. As soon as he saw Shang Tianya in the living room, he spread his arms and rushed towards you: "Uncle Shang, my nephew finally sees you!"
After all, he ignored Tian Qi's obstruction and Shang Tianya's indifference, and actually had a tiger hug with this powerful Shang Tianya.
Shang Tianya was not confused at all, and said with a smile: "How is your father doing?"
Di Lin let go of Shang Tianya, and his handsome face was full of energy: "It's very good. I can eat and drink, but I always mention you. I miss the days when I was at Miaomen."
"Why am I not?" Shang Tianya smiled and said, "Since I'm here today, I'll stay for a few more days so that Uncle Shang can fulfill his duties as a landlord."
"Then I'm not welcome!" As if the word "reserve" didn't exist in the dictionary, Di Lin agreed. "My father often taught me that I should learn more from Uncle Shang when I have the opportunity. He said that you are the most powerful person of the older generation.
."
When they met for the first time, Di Lin felt as if he and Shang Tianya were old friends for many years. They chatted with each other without any unfamiliarity, and his determination was truly top-notch.
Shang Tianya waved his hand slightly and said with a smile: "Your father is a stunningly beautiful person. He is also my senior brother, aren't you trying to kill me by saying this?"
Di Lin laughed: "Father is right. It has only been less than a minute. I have already learned a valuable thing from Uncle Shang!"
"Oh?" Shang Tianya smiled slightly. "What did you learn?"
"Low-key!" Di Lin said seriously. "This is definitely a valuable quality worth learning!"
Shang Tianya's expression did not change, he still smiled and said: "Your father should be very proud to have such a studious son like you, right?"
"We still need to work harder!" Di Lin said with a hint of sleepiness on his handsome face. "Uncle Shang, I haven't slept all night. Can you arrange a room for me to have a good sleep first and wait until I wake up?
Come and learn from the quotient again.”
Shang Tianya nodded with a smile and asked the servant to arrange the guest room.
With everything ready, Di Lin, who was about to dodge, suddenly stopped and turned around to ask Shang Tianya who was out for a walk. He smiled and said, "Uncle Shang. When will Brother Shang come back? I want to ask him for advice before I go home!"
Shang Tianya was startled when he heard this, then smiled and said: "There will definitely be a chance."
