After leaving the He family, He Cheng called a friend to pick him up.
Seeing him in such a sorry state, his friend teased, "What's wrong with you? You're such an adult and still play with urination. You're all wet?"
He Cheng's fierce eyes swept over him. He immediately dared not speak, being frightened by He Cheng's gaze.
"Go to Mansion No. 9."
...
That night, Xin Gan received a call from an unknown number. When she picked it up, she heard He Cheng's voice and kept calling her name.
She hung up the phone, but the next second He Cheng called again.
A family was watching TV in the living room when Mother Xin heard her phone ringing. "Xin Xin, your phone is ringing. Why didn't you answer it?"
Xin Gan turned off the voice and said, "Advertising call."
He Cheng was drunk here and couldn't get through to her phone. He dialed several times in a row, but each call was hung up. He suddenly lost his temper, smashed his phone and grabbed his friend, saying, "Why didn't she answer my call?" Why? You ask her to answer the phone. Hurry up!
"He Cheng, calm down. Who's not answering your call?"
"Call her here quickly! I want to see her!"
When He Chuan arrived, He Cheng was dead drunk, lying on the bar counter, muttering to himself. When he got closer, he heard him reciting Xin Gan's name.
He Chuan sneered, overestimating himself. Even after drinking like a ghost, he still couldn't forget the bitterness and sweetness.
"Mr. He..." The bartender recognized Kagawa and said, "Your brother drank too much again. He just smashed a few bottles of wine. The money for the wine..."
Charge it to my account.
"Ok, Mr. He."
Are you a friend of He Cheng? Was it you who drove him here?
Yes, he wants to drink. I can't stop him. He didn't dare to stop him either. Who would dare to stop He Cheng?
He Chuan gave a slight smile, took out a stack of cash from his purse and handed it to him, saying, "Do me a small favor. Tell the friends He Cheng knows not to have any contact with him anymore. His temper must have offended many people. Our family won't give him a penny to squander anymore. If anyone still asks him to play, the expenses for food, drink and entertainment will have to be paid by himself."
He Cheng is by no means a friend worth associating with.
...
When He Cheng woke up again, he found himself lying on the hotel bed. His clothes had never been moved. His head was splitting and he struggled to sit up. He saw He Chuan sitting on the sofa.
Why are you there?
He Chuan said, "Are you awake?"
He Cheng got out of bed and walked towards the door, looking as if he was about to leave.
He Chuan said slowly, "It's no use throwing a tantrum at home, He Cheng. You need to be capable. Don't spend the money your family gives you. Earn your own money and support yourself."
Do you think I can't?
"From my perspective, your behavior is no different from a child throwing a tantrum. He Cheng, you're already twenty-four years old. You're not young anymore. Please don't be so childish, okay?" "
He Cheng opened the door and was just about to leave when he was immediately stopped by two burly men at the entrance. The men were quite polite and blocked the door with their bodies, clearly meaning that they wouldn't let him go.
He Cheng turned around and questioned, "He Chuan, what do you mean?"
Let you reflect here.
What am I reflecting on?
Ask me? Ask yourself.
He Cheng wanted to make a move, but He Chuan said, "You can still walk. It seems your knee is not seriously injured. Do you want to add another kick?"
He Cheng: "He Chuan, don't go too far."
He Chuan took a cigarette and said, "I'm too lazy to care about you. If it weren't for your surname He, whether you die or live has nothing to do with me."
...
Cheng Jiu asked for three days off from the team. Captain Meng even joked, "If you bring the girl into your family earlier, you'll be at ease. How about giving you a few more days off?"
"Could you give me a few more days? Will you return my leave at the end of the year?"
Meng Canchang smiled and scolded, "You brat, get out of here."
Cheng Jiu came out of Meng Canchang's office. Xiao Shi had been waiting for a long time in the early morning and hurriedly ran over, saying, "Brother Jiu, where are you going on leave?"
How did you know that I was on leave?
"Overheard by accident..."
"Is it sneaking in through the crack of the door?" "
Xiao Shi blushed and said, "Brother Jiu, where are you going?"
The sun was so scorching that Cheng Jiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Go home."
Xiao Shi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is it because of Miss Xin?"
You know and still ask. Cheng Jiu did not deny it.
"Wow!" Xiao Shi was extremely exaggerated, "Then will she come again in the future?"
"So much talk?"
"Brother Jiu, then I'll pack your luggage for you!"
"No need."
It should be. It should be.
Cheng Jiu was going back to Yongcheng and had only a three-day vacation. Time was very tight. He casually picked up a few clothes and documents and went to catch the flight. Of course, Jiang Tang still found out about his leave.
Jiang Tang couldn't get through to him on the phone. The phone was always turned off. She seemed to have a premonition and was very restless.
Jiang Tang simply went straight to Xiao Shi and asked him, "Where is Cheng Jiu going after taking a three-day leave?" Why is his mobile phone turned off?
Xiao Shi knew Jiang Tang's thoughts. After all, they had worked together for so many years and had accumulated a certain amount of affection. He said tactfully, "This..." I'm not very convenient to say. This is Brother Jiu's business.
"I couldn't get in touch with him, so I came to you, Xiao Shi. Could you tell me?"
Xiao Shi patted the back of his head and said, "Jiang Tang, calm down."
"Xiao Shi, we've known each other for so long. Aren't you willing to tell me such a little thing?"
It's not that I don't want to say it. It's just that Brother Jiu has instructed that I can't say it.
Jiang Tang was deeply moved, lowered her eyes and sighed deeply, "I probably guessed it."
Xiao Shi: "What did you guess?"
"Miss Xin left suddenly before, right? She must have gone with Cheng Jiu's father. Cheng Jiu has never asked for leave before. Is he asking for leave this time to go home?" "
Xiao Shi: "..."
Xiao Shi, I'm not a fool. There are some things that everyone actually knows in their hearts, but I just don't want to believe that I'll just have no chance like this. Don't look at me like this. I don't need your pity.
Xiao Shi withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, looked at the tip of his shoe, and said in a very low voice, "Otherwise, Jiang Tang, don't even think about Brother Jiu. He has someone he likes."
Jiang Tang curled her lips and gave a self-mocking smile. "You know I like Cheng Jiu too. Look, everyone can see that I have liked him all these years. Did he know it all along?"
"This..."
Is he blind? How could it not be noticed? Forget it. You're not him. You surely don't know either.
Xiao Shi felt it necessary to let her see clearly, so he said to her, "Brother Jiu has gone back to Yongcheng. Don't worry about him anymore. Really, Jiang Tang, we've known each other for so long. As friends, I don't want you to be too sad."
I'm even more sad when you say all this.
Xiao Shi didn't know how to comfort her either. Women were even more complicated and difficult to deal with than he had imagined. It wasn't Jiang Tang's fault. Originally, Jiu Ge was good-looking and had a good figure. Although he looked cold and serious on the outside, he was just liked by girls. Even if he didn't respond, some girls would stick hard.
Just like the big stars on TV, they naturally have an attractive aura.
Even without Jiangtang, there would be another one.
Jiang Tang was not afraid of anything, but was afraid that Cheng Jiu would really get married to Xin Gan. If it came to this point, no one could change the situation. Fortunately, Xin Gan was not willing to be with Cheng Jiu. She still had a chance.
Cheng Jiu boarded the plane back to Yongcheng. Everything in Yongcheng was both strange and familiar to him. He hadn't been home for several years and had no idea what it had become.
The round trip took two days. Fortunately, he could catch up on sleep on the plane. So when he arrived in Yongcheng, no one told him. He took a taxi and headed home.
It was still dark and no one in the Cheng family had gotten up yet. Only the aunt got up early and was sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard.
Cheng Jiu still remembered the password at home and entered the house directly after entering it.
When the aunt heard the voice and saw Cheng Jiu at that moment, she couldn't recognize him and said, "Are you Cheng, Cheng Jiu?"
Cheng Jiu said, "Aunt Lin, it's me."
The Cheng family villa suddenly became lively because Cheng Jiu had returned. However, he was in a hurry. Cheng's father was not at home at the moment and had gone on a business trip. Only Cheng's wife and Cheng Hui were left.
Mrs. Cheng was overjoyed beyond words. After not seeing each other for so many years, she didn't break down. She turned her face away and wiped away her tears.
Cheng Hui was both scared and happy. She wanted to go up and act cute, but seeing Cheng Jiu's serious face, she didn't dare to go up. Pretending to be well-behaved, she called out, "Brother, why are you dark?"
Mrs. Cheng was amused and said, "Huihui, don't make a fuss about your brother."
Cheng Jiu glanced at Cheng Hui and waved at her, saying, "Come here. Let me see if your skin has hardened."
Cheng Hui, of course, didn't go over. He hid behind the sofa, smiling and saying, "Brother, why did you hit me when you came back? I'm your own sister. You're so inhumane. Isn't that how you scared Sister Xin away?"
Speaking of Xin Gan, Mrs. Cheng seized the opportunity to say, "By the way, how many days will you stay this time?"
One day. I'm leaving tomorrow.
Why in such a hurry?
Just three days off.
Mrs. Cheng: "If we take three days off for a round trip, we'll just get two days off. What's so urgent?"
Cheng Jiu said, "Look for Xin Gan."
...
Cheng Jiu took a bath at home, opened the wardrobe and wanted to change into a more formal set of clothes. After looking around, he found that the clothes he used to wear were no longer suitable now. He had exercised in Beiyu for several years, and his muscles had gradually grown. The size was no longer appropriate. He came back in a hurry and casually picked up a casual piece of clothing. If he were to pay a formal visit to the Xin family, this piece of clothing would not fit.
He doesn't have so many rules in Beiyu. If he wears short-sleeved camouflage pants during holidays, it's fine. But this time it's different. He's going to meet Xin Gan's parents and needs to look more composed and solemn.
Cheng Hui peeked at the door, laughing pitifully and said, "Brother, do you want me to help you choose clothes?"
Cheng Jiu ignored her, closed the wardrobe door, randomly picked a black short-sleeved shirt and put it on. Well, if he was not used to wearing a suit at this moment, let alone others, he might as well dress as usual and do as he wanted.
Seeing that Cheng Jiu was ignoring her, Cheng Hui became even bolder. "Why are you dressed so ordinarily? It's a waste of your good figure. How about going to get Dad's suit?"
Cheng Jiu said, "I remember the college entrance examination results are almost out. Which university can you apply to?"
Speaking of this, Cheng Hui pretended not to hear and said, "What are you saying? Why can't I hear you? It must be because the wind is too strong. Yes, Mom called me. I'm going downstairs first."
Just as I was about to run, Cheng Jiu grabbed me by the collar. "What are you running for? Aren't you trying to help me choose clothes?"
It's not suitable. It's not appropriate for you to wear Dad's clothes. There's such a big age gap and a huge generation gap. How about you find Brother He Chuan's clothes to wear? "!"
"Oh, does your brother Kagawa's clothes suit me?"
"Right, right. Let me tell you in secret. All the clothes from He Chuan are custom-made by hand from big brands. They are very expensive. Just take his."
So, how many points did you score?
Cheng Hui: "..."
"Or are you ready to repeat a year?" "
Can we not mention this sad thing? "Spare my life. We'll be siblings in the next life."
...
Cheng Jiu went to visit the Xin family by himself. It was not easy for him to come back, and Lady Cheng also wanted to go along. He said that this time he came back mainly to find Xin Gan, and there was no need to go all of them. Besides, it was him who was looking for a wife.
Cheng Hui also wanted to go, but Cheng Jiu was afraid that she would cause trouble and wouldn't give it to her. So she held onto the car door tightly and wouldn't let Cheng Jiu go.
Cheng Jiu had no choice but to agree to let her go along.
Cheng Hui was smiling and very happy. She chatted with a group of good friends on wechat again, showing off that her brother had come home. She even secretly took a photo of Cheng Jiu and posted it on Moments to show off. She didn't forget to attach a string of words, saying: "My brother is perfect in every way, but he's a bit old and it's not easy for him to get married. I hope the beautiful sister won't look down on him. Look, he just came back not long ago. He changed his clothes and dressed up to meet his future wife!"
Cheng Hui has a friend of He Chuan. Not long after she posted it, He Chuan commented on one.
A screenshot has been sent to your brother. '
