Chapter 43

Luo's house is located by the river, behind it is a whole private mountain forest.

But these years, apart from Mr. Luo, who has long since neglected his affairs, there are only a group of servants left in the house.

Luo Tanshen chose the most inconspicuous car, wearing a formal suit only worn on formal occasions, black from head to toe, even the woolen coat on the outside was also black, after parking the car, he turned it over from the trunk Bring out a pitch-black umbrella—it doesn't look like going home to meet the elders, but like going to a funeral.

Luo Yuncheng and He Xiangzi arrived earlier than him, chatting with Mr. Luo about business matters in the study, while the other put on the airs of the mistress of the Luo family, inspecting the work of the servants.

As soon as Luo Tanshen got out of the car, someone shouted beamingly: "The young master is back!"

He snorted lightly and walked towards the courtyard with a cold face.

In fact, there was no joy in this family for a long time, and even laughter was rarely heard.Old man Luo always had a straight face, even when he was a child, Luo Tanshen never saw him smile.Luo Yuncheng was even more indifferent than Mr. Luo, he only had business and interests in his eyes, and his family members were placed at the bottom of the list. When Luo Xiaoyu passed away, he didn't shed a single tear.He Xiangzi is somewhat popular—if popular can refer to "sour and mean".

Luo Tanshen was brought up by his grandfather and grandmother. When he was a child, he didn't see his parents very often for a year. The only thing he cared about in the Luo family was Luo Xiaoyu.

But Luo Xiaoyu was long gone.

He arrived at lunch time, and when he entered the room, he met He Xiangzi and smiled politely.

He Xiangzi, the mother, didn't seem to have much affection for him, so she smiled appropriately and asked the servant to go upstairs to ask the two people in the study to come down for dinner.

There were only four people sitting on the long table, Luo Tanshen and Luo Yuncheng were both wearing suits, He Xiangzi was dressed as if he was going to a banquet, only Mr. Luo was dressed less formally.

The dishes were being served one by one, and no one was speaking at the table, only the sound of moving the bowls and chopsticks could be heard.

Luo Tan was deeply amused.Outsiders probably can't imagine that every meal in the Luo family tastes like a meal for the dead.

In the past, when Luo Xiaoyu was still around, he always tried every means to make the atmosphere at the dinner table more lively, and sometimes he would lend a helping hand, just like a nurse.But whenever the atmosphere was right, He Xiangzi would cough a few times, scolding the brothers for not having rules.

After the meal, when the servant brought fruit, Luo Yuncheng said, "I heard that you went to see Zhou Jinchuan?"

"Can't I see him?" Luo Tan said with a deep expression, "You already knew that he brought his family back with him?"

"His wife's illness is terminal."

"so what?"

Luo Yuncheng frowned, "It's been so many years, why are you doing this? If your brother is still here..."

"Don't use my brother to press me down." Luo Tanshen folded his hands in his trouser pockets, his chin slightly raised, and his figure tall and straight, "You don't care about him at all."

Mr. Luo threw down the fruit fork with a "bang", and walked upstairs without saying a word.

He Xiangzi stared, "Why are you talking to your father?"

Luo Tan snorted deeply, "How did I talk to him, you only found out today?"

"you!"

Luo Yuncheng waved his hand, his tone remained unchanged, "I asked you to come back to eat this meal, just to remind you. You have already ruined Zhou Jinchuan back then, and the Luo family has paid the price for your actions. Please forgive me Man, I won't use Xiaoyu to oppress you, but you should remember that you swore to Xiaoyu to leave Zhou Jinchuan alive."

A cold hatred welled up in Luo Tan's chest, "Seven years ago, you thought that what I did to Zhou Jinchuan hurt Luo's dignity. Seven years later, when I went to see Zhou Jinchuan, you were so scared."

Luo Yuncheng looked at him, "I'm afraid?"

"Otherwise, why did you invite me to eat this meal?" Luo Tan gritted his teeth deeply, "If you still have an heir, I'm afraid you would have wished for me to go with my brother!"

"Luo Tanshen!" He Xiangzi roared, "What are you talking about?"

"Human words." Luo Tan said deeply, "I don't understand why."

"You don't have to beat around the bush and call us animals." Luo Yuncheng didn't show any anger at all, and Luo Tan knew that he was indifferent to the bone.

"I did know for a long time that Zhou Jinchuan was back, and it was hidden from you because you were a lunatic." Luo Yuncheng said.

Luo Tan clenched his hands deeply, and the scenes from seven years ago flashed through his mind.

"A lunatic can do anything. Those doctors are incapable. They haven't really cured you." Luo Yuncheng said like a machine: "If you do anything to Zhou Jinchuan again, I have to clean up the mess for you again." .Do you think I'm idle? Do you think no one is watching Rock's loopholes?"

Luo Tan laughed deeply, "That's why I said earlier that the only thing you care about is Luo's face."

"Could you be able to completely tear off this face?" Luo Yuncheng turned against the army, "Who told Xiao Yu that he would be strong, grow, and carry the Luo family?"

Luo Tan's heart suddenly throbbed, and he stared at Luo Yuncheng with red eyes.

"I still say the same thing, you have to forgive others and forgive others." Luo Yuncheng closed his eyes, "Zhou Jinchuan has already received retribution, and you are no longer a child. An adult should have the responsibility of an adult."

Luo Tan stood there for a long time, then smiled contemptuously, "Your responsibility is to know who killed the eldest son, and for Luo's so-called reputation, you don't want that person to be punished."

"So what if you're punished?" Luo Yuncheng said, "Your brother will come back?"

These words were like a sharp sword, piercing directly into Luo Tan's chest.

He was stunned, then turned around and walked out the door.

——So what if you are punished?Your brother will come back?

——You have done so much for your brother, has your brother woke up?

All in vain.

He sat in the car for a long time and felt the back of his hands go cold before he realized that he was crying.

The wind is blowing outside, and the withered and yellow leaves are like dusty snow.It was always extremely cold by the river, and the cold wind came in through the half-open window, blowing half of his face unconscious.

He slowly leaned down and lay on the steering wheel, with piercing screams circling in his ears—crazy, you are crazy!

"I'm not." He whispered to himself: "I'm already cured, I'm not crazy..."

An Yuxin's birthday party is quite big every year, but this year she only held a small party in An's villa.Ming Shusheng refused at first, and insisted on following the previous scale.But An Yuxin said to her: "Mom, you organize birthday parties for me every year because you are afraid that if I say no, I will be gone. But my health is getting better now, and I can be with you every year in the future. Don't worry .”

Ming Zhaochi also said good things, and Ming Shusheng agreed to hold a barbecue banquet for young people only.

The weather was beautiful on my birthday, and the sun came out in the morning.

An Yuxin doesn't have many friends, and the ones who arrive one after another are almost all Ming Zhaochi's friends.

Luo Tanshen came a little late, and was caught drinking by Xu Muchu and others.

Seeing him coming, An Yuxin couldn't hide the smile on her face, and the whole portrait suddenly brightened.

"Happy birthday. I'm sorry, something happened and I was delayed." Luo Tan smiled deeply and handed over a gift—a watch that was expensive but not carefully selected.

"Thank you!" An Yuxin took it, her eyelashes fluttering in the sun, "Master Luo, I thought you wouldn't be here just now."

"I promised you, how can I casually miss the appointment?" Luo Tan maintained a graceful smile, and suddenly felt a very textured gaze fall behind him.

But An Yuxin was pestering him to talk, so it was inconvenient for him to immediately turn around and look for the owner of that line of sight.

Barbecue banquets have become unpopular in the past few years, but An Yuxin has never participated in the past due to health reasons, and insists on holding them. At this time, it is novel and exciting, and she wants to try everything by herself.

Luo Tanshen took his roasted beef tongue, tasted it, the taste was bland, but he also boasted: "Not bad."

An Yuxin lowered her eyes and smiled, her obedient appearance made it hard to find fault.

The crowd made noise until the evening, when the cake was pushed up, Luo Tanshen noticed that gaze again, turned around to look, and met the gaze of the woman standing on the balcony on the second floor.

He frowned in surprise.

The woman also seemed a little surprised, and quickly left the balcony.

He recalled it and realized that the other party should be Ming Shusheng.

But both An Yuxin and Ming Zhaochi said that when the elders went out, there were only peers at home.

A few years ago, he met Ming Shusheng, but he didn't have a deep impression. Just now, the vague memory suddenly became clear.

But this sense of clarity was a bit weird, but he couldn't figure out where it was.

"Why are you standing here?" Ming Zhaochi came over with the wine.

Luo Tanshen looked at the balcony on the second floor again, "Is your aunt at home?"

"Not here." Ming Zhaochi's eyes darkened after he finished speaking, "Did you see her?"

Luo Tan raised his chin deeply towards the balcony, "I'm not sure if it's her."

Ming Zhaochi followed his gaze, cursed in a low voice, "So she didn't leave."

"It's really her?"

"It should be, she usually likes to stand there."

Luo Tan said deeply: "Didn't you say..."

"Her psychology... She is too controlling." Ming Zhaochi's tone was not very good, "Forget it, Yu Xin is in poor health, and I can understand that she wants to look at him all the time. Luo Shao, I'm sorry, Don't mention it to Yuxin."

"No." Luo Tan smiled deeply, "Let's go, let's cut the cake."

There was a new round of arrangements in the evening, but Luo Tanshen couldn't stay any longer.

He didn't know if he was too sensitive, but he always felt that Ming Shusheng's eyes were always on him.

According to Zhaochi Zhaochi, even if Ming Shusheng looked into the yard, he should be looking at An Yuxin.

He had a ridiculous idea - maybe Ming Shusheng found that An Yuxin cared about him so much that he kept staring at him.

When he met Ming Shusheng's eyes again, he faintly grasped the strange feeling from before.

Ming Shusheng's eye shape, he seemed to have seen it somewhere.

It was by no means the only fleeting glance when we met, but somewhere else, on another face.

At this time, Lin Xiuhan suddenly called, and he answered it easily, thinking that there was something about work, so he just found a reason to leave.

"Master." Lin Xiuhan said: "I heard that the old man of the Shan family's condition has worsened and he needs to be transferred to another hospital, but all suitable hospital beds are full. This is a small favor, do you want to help?"

Luo Tanshen hung up the phone, said goodbye to An Yuxin immediately, and quickly got into the car.

In the rearview mirror, An Yuxin stood lost and alone in the night.

On the sky, the first cluster of prepared fireworks has just bloomed.
