Chapter 768: You gave birth to the wrong family (5 more)
Cao's old house.
Cao Ying parked the car outside the gate.
Standing at the door of the manor, Cao Ying looked at it for a long time.
This place used to be her childhood paradise, but now it feels very deserted, with a sense of coldness and indifference.
"Miss, the second master is already waiting for you."
Cao Ying then turned around and looked at Uncle Fu in front of her.
Uncle Fu seems to be like this forever. Cao Ying remembers that when he was young, Uncle Fu was like this. He looked like a man in his fifties. Now, he is still less than sixty. He seems to never change, including
He was dressed in an old-fashioned robe, his hands were always in his sleeves, and his eyes were still so alert, flashing from time to time.
"I have a question for Uncle Forbes."
"Miss?" Uncle Fu was stunned and looked at Cao Ying. After a while, he smiled and said, "What do you want to ask, miss?"
Cao Ying said: "Uncle Fu has been here for at least thirty years, right?"
"More than thirty years."
"Grandpa was in poor health and retired very early. You followed him at that time. I remember that I was not born yet. Thinking about it, it was indeed more than thirty years ago. But for so many years, your youth has been spent on
Do you think this manor is worth it?" Cao Ying asked.
Uncle Fu's eyes were bright and he said: "Since Miss wants to ask, I will tell you frankly. I am an orphan. I remember that when I was very young, during the crazy national movement, my parents died in a daze.
, and I'm dying too
, If it weren’t for the old man, I would have been reincarnated long ago. Otherwise, this child would be as old as you. The most important thing in a person’s life is to repay kindness. Otherwise, how can I be a human being? If you identify a person, follow him.
A lifetime of unforgettable moments."
Cao Ying sighed and said, "This is the Cao family. This is the trick used by big families. Uncle Fu, you are very lucky, but not everyone is as lucky as you."
There was a trace of doubt in his eyes, and Uncle Fu smiled slightly. He didn't ask any more questions and just replied: "The luckiest thing for me was that I was able to survive back then."
"Are you afraid of death?" Cao Ying suddenly asked.
"Afraid." A trace of fear flashed in Fu Bo's eyes, as if arousing pain in his heart. He closed his eyes, and after a while, he reopened his eyes and said, "People who have come from that era,
Only then will you truly understand what it is to be hungry, and every day, you will be afraid that a group of people will suddenly burst into your home, and then take you to endure endless injustice and torture, without the slightest hope. I am afraid, I am really afraid,
After all these years, I still can’t help but get heart palpitations every time I think about it.”
Cao Ying stared at Uncle Fu and suddenly felt deep sympathy. She said sincerely: "Uncle Fu, I hope you can live a long life."
"Thank you, miss, I will try my best to live longer." Fu Bo sighed.
Cao Ying walked into the villa.
Not far away, in the pavilion, a thin middle-aged man was sitting there. He lowered his head and was looking at the pond under the rockery. There were several goldfish playing in the water.
"Second uncle."
Cao Ying walked into the pavilion and called out respectfully, and then her eye circles turned red.
The middle-aged man turned his head. He looked like he was only in his forties, but his real age was definitely much more than that. His complexion was very healthy, and there was a wise light shining in his eyes.
He is Cao Jiangong.
Mr. Cao has three sons.
The eldest son Cao Jianguo, the second son Cao Jiangong, and the third son Cao Jianjun.
Cao Jianguo is engaged in business, Cao Jianjun is in the army, and Cao Jiangong is in politics and has reached the ministerial level. Although it is a remote and unpopular department, it is still a veritable ministerial level.
Some departments are usually very idle and don't seem to have much effect, but they can choke many people at critical moments.
This is the case for Cao Jiangong's department.
But when it comes to his level, it's about rank, and a cold department has its own advantages, not to mention that this kind of position will change every few years.
The higher you climb in the officialdom, it represents power and connections.
Cao Jiangong's name is very unfamiliar to many people, and many people even tend to ignore his existence.
Among the three brothers, he is also the most low-key.
Speaking of the Cao family, everyone knows Cao Jianguo or Cao Jianjun, but they easily forget his existence.
But in fact, in the upper class society, no one dares to truly despise him.
Xu Zaidao was so famous back then, but he once made Xu Zaidao suffer the loss of being dumb.
Fortunately, no one knew about this matter, including He Zaidao himself, who had always been kept in the dark.
"Girl, what's wrong? Who messed with you again?"
Cao Jiangong touched Cao Ying's head.
Among Cao Ying's generation, she is the most liked by Cao Jiangong.
From childhood to adulthood, Cao Ying was cared for by her second uncle, and during many life decisions, Cao Jiangong would also give her subtle guidance.
Therefore, in front of Cao Jiangong, Cao Ying is the most open-minded, the softest, and the best able to show her true self.
When people are alive, they are acting most of the time.
Whether you want it or not, you have to act.
Cao Ying is no exception.
Only in front of her second uncle, she didn't show off.
Cao Ying burst into tears and kept sobbing.
Cao Jiangong did not persuade her, but just looked at her silently, until she had cried enough, and then said: "Tell me, what happened?"
"Second uncle, of course you don't know if you don't come back often. Today's Cao family is no longer the Cao family of the past. I hate this family very much. Even when I entered the door just now, I felt strange and afraid in my heart. It seemed like this
The manor is lifeless and cold, which makes people feel frightened."
What Cao Ying said was a bit harsh.
But she didn't hide anything, she told her true feelings.
Cao Jiangong was not surprised at all, and sighed: "You have finally grown up."
Cao Ying raised her head and said aggrievedly: "Second uncle."
"It's a good thing that you have grown up, but sometimes when you really grow up and see clearly, it is also very cruel." Cao Jiangong said with emotion: "Actually, sometimes, I look forward to you growing up quickly. Sometimes, I look forward to you growing up quickly.
, and I'm afraid that you will grow up, because growth always has to pay a price of one kind or another, such as happiness, such as family love."
Cao Ying curled her lips and said: "But everyone has to grow up. Even if I don't want to grow up, there is nothing I can do about it. Many times, I can't really pretend not to see anything."
"But you are a member of the Cao family. If you want to blame me, I can only blame you for being born into the wrong family."
"Second uncle."
Cao Ying's face changed slightly: "Do you know what they did?"
"What did you do?"
"They killed Li Jing. You know, Li Jing was my best friend. We played together when we were children, and she and I got along very well." Cao Ying said sadly.
Cao Jiangong asked: "Is that that little girl who doesn't talk all day long? I've never understood why you two became good friends."
"I don't know either." Cao Ying said, "But I am very sad that she died."
"So you asked your father to investigate?"
"Second uncle, I really can't hide anything from you." Cao Ying sighed.
Cao Jiangong smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, there is no need to investigate this kind of thing." (To be continued)
