Chapter 21 Father's Relic

After the words fell, the two stared at each other relatively silently for a while.

Finally, the deadlock was broken, Guan Zan breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense body relaxed a little.Ke Jinrui could see that the little guy was moved, so he let go of his hand naturally, and started stroking the top of his hair again.Guan Zan liked the warmth of a man's palm very much, so he lay on Ke Jinrui's lap, with his head resting on his arm.

"Actually, I can't talk about how wronged I am. Compared with the past, what happened today is nothing at all."

His voice was very soft, and he was indeed calm, and he couldn't hear the anger that could drop the phone.

Ke Jinrui didn't speak, but looked down at Guan Zan, at the neck covered by soft black hair.He touched it with his fingers and scratched the delicate skin surface.Guan Zan felt itchy, shrank his shoulders sensitively, wanted to hide, but refused in a low voice: "Don't make trouble!"

Ke Jinrui stopped as expected, and continued to smooth the kitten's fur like teasing Galileo.

Guan Zan said: "I mentioned that I met my cousin at the gate of the nursing home. I called to confirm at noon. He told my uncle about it. As for how I found out about the housekeeping company, I don't know. It may be from I asked from the cleaning aunt who took care of my mother? I was worried that my mobile phone could not be reached in an emergency, so I once left her a company landline, which belonged to an internal employee..."

"What do they mean?" Ke Jinrui asked.

"I believe my uncle has good intentions and really wants to take me home. I don't want me to come out to work so early and waste a bright future." Guan Zan paused, then said again after a long while, "It's more troublesome. It's my aunt."

In the final analysis, these are still private matters. Guan Zan didn't want to reveal too much, let alone cause trouble for others, so he intentionally omitted the conflict in the parking lot.It's a pity that Ke Jinrui has his own set of thoughts in his mind, the more Guan Zan doesn't mention him, the more he cares about it. After all, the little guy has a soft temper, and if he is forced to smash his phone, he must be really angry.

Ke Jinrui: "What did she tell you in the parking lot?"

As soon as these words came out, Guan Zan frowned unconsciously, and even pursed his lips hesitantly.Ke Jinrui was patient enough to treat children, and skillfully moved his fingers around, pinching Guan Zan's cheek again and again.Guan Zan felt that he was a gadget in the man's palm, and he shook his head freely.

Guan Zan: "..."

"Tell the truth." Ke Jinrui induced the little fool, "With our relationship, there is no need to treat each other as outsiders too much."

Guan Zan pulled Ke Jinrui's hands away to show the equality between the two outside the game, and said, "There is a guqin in the inheritance left by my father. I have seen it a few times. I don't understand it very well, but I can see that the quality is very good." Well, I’ve heard others mention that it’s an ancient piece. I don’t know how my father got it. Anyway, he cherished it all the time when he was alive. It was placed in a separate room and I was not allowed to enter it. Steady, give it another bump."

"The Qin was carried by my mother and brought to my uncle's house. After she was sick and hospitalized, it was transferred to my aunt. But when my mother was awake, she explained to my uncle that everything else could be sold for money. To compensate our wife’s living expenses, but Qin can’t, it must be kept. So after so many years, it has not been resold, but fortunately it has been kept until now.”

At this point, Guan Zan smiled and bent his lips, and his voice added a hint of sarcasm: "You should be able to guess the result later, I had an argument with her before I left home, originally I wanted to take away my father's guqin, but I never No more contact. But my aunt disagreed, and asked me to pay the support and treatment expenses they spent on me and my mother, and offered a price of 200 million. At that time, I had no other choice, so I had to agree temporarily."

"Today she came over and talked to me while my uncle was starting the car. She said that someone else had appraised the guqin, and the value was much higher than what we had negotiated before, so she asked me to add a zero to the end of the price, otherwise it would be fine." Sell ​​to those who know what to buy."

Ke Jinrui understood it this time, but Guan Zan's attitude made him a little puzzled: "Since that piano is very important to you, why are you being held back by others and threatened to sell it for money? Doesn't seem like you're in a hurry?"

Guan Zan looked up at him when he heard the words, and said dumbfoundedly: "Mr. Ke, that's 2000 million! I can't even take out the previous 200 million..." Guan Zan sighed, but he couldn't tell how disappointed he was. Hurry up and save some cash, put the piano in your hands first, and then you can pay back the rest with an IOU, or you can turn your face and deny the person and just let it go, but unfortunately, looking at it now, it is impossible for her to let it go easily."

What Ke Jinrui wants to hear is the truth, but not limited to the truth.

Ever since Guan Zan mentioned that his aunt had offered a price, he was thinking, why didn't he ask for such a good opportunity in front of him?

However, Guan Zan really didn't say anything, the content that should be explained at the moment is almost frank, the real reason why he dropped the phone didn't take it to his heart, and he was too embarrassed to speak, let alone how to paraphrase, he couldn't say "then There is a mad dog in the house next to him that beat him for several years, and recently he started to want to fuck him again on a whim," right?Simply did not mention more.

Guan Zan had been sitting on his knees for a long time, and his knees were sore and numb. Seeing that Ke Jinrui was silent, he couldn't get up on his own, so he wanted to change his posture and relax.This movement brought Ke Jinrui back to his senses, and naturally stretched out his arms around Guan Zan's side, picked him up, and let him sit on his lap.Guan Zan was instantly embarrassed, and vaguely thought that this gesture had crossed the line, and it was not suitable for the two of them to get along.Ke Jinrui didn't feel anything wrong, anyway, Guan Zan was thin, and he didn't press his legs when he hugged her.

"Does the old man know about this?" Ke Jinrui asked.

"I didn't dare to say it." Guan Zan replied truthfully, "The teacher is probably not happy to hear that."

Ke Jinrui gave a flat "hmm" and said, "Don't tell him, with his temper, if he hears about it, he will definitely get angry."

Guan Zan sounded confused, it's okay for a teacher to hurt students, but in the end it's just a private matter, and it can make other people's private affairs angry, how angry is this!Ke Su's temper is actually quite good, and he is very polite to the Filipino maids who don't understand the language, but he likes to make things difficult for the youngest son, there's no way to do it, who let the son of a bitch that the old man called him see him from birth.Guan Zan didn't think much about it, he just thought Ke Jinrui felt sorry for the old man, so he nodded and passed.

The conversation was not short, the chicken soup softened the wontons, and the dough became lumpy.

Guan Zan was stiff and sat motionless on Ke Jinrui's lap, and asked, "Would you like to go downstairs and I'll make you some supper?"

At this time, the Filipino maids had finished their evening cleaning and returned to the nanny's room in the backyard one after another. Ke Su and Mama Zhang had already gone to bed separately, and the whole house was deserted.

Ke Jinrui went to the restaurant first.Guan Zan returned to the bedroom, released Galileo, who had been locked up for a day, to breathe, and took him to the first floor.Galileo regained his freedom and blossomed. He was even more excited when he saw Ke Jinrui. He twisted his buttocks and was about to whimper, but Ke Jinrui gave him a look.

Guan Zan looked back at Galileo and noticed that Corgi's unique heart-shaped butt covered the two small hind legs. He thought to himself, why does this kind of dog look stupid even when lying on its stomach?

But what Mr. Ke thought was that he was somewhat similar to Guan Zan.

After disposing of the wontons, Guan Zan went into the kitchen to boil water, intending to cook new ones again.

Ke Jinrui sat in the restaurant outside and lit a cigarette unhurriedly: "When do you plan to go back?"

Guan Zan had to go back. Sun Yanhong's condition did not mean he had to accept it, but he had to meet if he wanted to solve the problem. "As soon as possible." The water boiled, Guan Zan put the wontons in, "It's pointless to procrastinate, and my aunt can do everything, I'm worried that if she waits too long, she may actually find someone to sell the piano. "

Ke Jinrui was absent-minded and didn't ask any more questions. After the wontons were cooked, he went upstairs to rest early after supper.

Guan Zan couldn't fall asleep, so after packing up the tableware, he put Galileo on a leash, took the little things out for a walk, and relieved his restless heart by the way.

At breakfast the next day, Guan Zan raised his plan to "go back to his uncle's house as soon as possible".Ke Su looked a little unhappy, but he didn't say much, he just ordered Ke Jinrui to deliver it in person, because Xu Zhendong didn't come back and there was no available driver at home.

Mr. Ke, who has transitioned from a flower farmer to a driver, took it for granted, calmly responded, and then continued to use his mobile phone to remotely explain the work content to his assistant.

It stands to reason that if you want to catch up with work and return to the company, you have to go out early in the morning. Unfortunately, Ke Jinrui went downstairs just in time for Ke Su to wake up. Down.

Guan Zan wanted to laugh at this scene, and inexplicably felt that it was highly similar to the details of Galileo lying on the ground last night.

After breakfast, Mr. Ke acted as if he had received an amnesty, and walked out of Ke's house quickly while making a phone call.

As usual, Guan Zan accompanied Ke Su to the apricot orchard to drink tea and pick fruits. After the temperature warmed up, he went into the piano room and started the daily compulsory basic fingering exercises.

Ke Su sat diagonally across from the teaching zither, listening and flipping through the old music scores brought down from the room.When the song ended, he rarely made any comments, but said, "Your uncle wants to take you home. I have no right to stop you, but I hope you can come back for a day or two every week to talk with the teacher." Ke Su Her voice was trembling slightly, and she sounded weak with a lack of breath, "It's only been a few years, so I won't delay you for too long."

The unspoken part of these words was so self-evident that Guan Zan couldn't help feeling uncomfortable after hearing this: "Teacher, don't say that..."

"The truth is, everyone has that day." Ke Su smiled kindly, and waved his hand at him, "Go on, play that sweeping exercise, your wrist will always be in a bad position, pay more attention, or the tone will not be full , always loose!"

Guan Zan nodded, and returned his attention to the piano.

Ke Su also continued to look down at the score in his hand.

He held the opened sheet music with one hand, and the pages were covered with sticky stickers, each with the same text written on it——

His name is Guan Zan, don't forget.

His name is Guan Zan, don't forget.

His name is Guan Zan, don't forget.

……

He always knew that he was sick, and that one day he would forget those people and things he didn't want to forget.

It's not that I can't accept it, I just want to struggle again without resignation before the deadline comes.
