Chapter 54
Chapter 54
Xiao Jinghan bought the plane ticket in advance and took Shen Sining to City C. City C is where the Xiao family made their fortune. The place Xiao Jinghan wanted to take Shen Sining to was the Xiao family's ancestral grave, and his mother's grave was also here.
It snowed all night last night, the snow on the ground was very thick, and the temperature outside was below zero. Shen Sining was just sick. He was wearing a very thick down jacket, which made his originally thin waist look a little bloated. A bunch of lilies, followed behind Xiao Jinghan with a heavy expression.
Xiao Jinghan hasn't told Shen Sining about his family's situation yet, he only said that he came to pay homage to his mother, but Shen Sining pretended not to know and didn't ask any further questions.
Arriving at Xiao Jinghan's mother's tomb, Shen Sining put down the bouquet. The woman on the tombstone photo was very young, and her facial features could be seen to be somewhat similar to Xiao Jinghan's. Shen Sining carefully looked at the birth and death dates of the tombstone. Xiao's mother died when she was less than 35 years old. Died young, can not help but feel a little regretful.
Today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. The custom here is to worship relatives on New Year’s Eve. The snow around Xiao’s mother’s tomb has been cleaned off, and fresh melons, fruits and flowers are still placed in front of the tombstone. There should be other people before they come. Also came to worship.
Xiao Jinghan stood silently in front of his mother's grave, looking at his mother's photo as if he was communicating with her secretly, Shen Sining did not disturb him, and quietly accompanied him by his side.
Shen Sining knew a little about Xiao Jinghan's life experience from the original book, and after passing through, he also heard a lot of gossip about the Xiao family.
Xiao Jinghan's grandfather had no children, and later in his forties he had a daughter. The couple cherished this daughter very much.Miss Xiao grew up day by day, and she grew up like a flower like a jade. There was an endless stream of people coming to ask for marriage. At this time, Mr. Xiao was facing two major problems. He was reluctant to marry off his daughter, so he thought of recruiting a son-in-law.
Xiao Jinghan's biological father, Qi Zhou, used to be the department manager of a subsidiary of Lixing Group. He was very diligent and capable, and was appreciated by Mr. Xiao. Under the impetus of Xiao Xiao and Qi Zhou, they began to date and fall in love naturally.
Mr. Xiao originally thought he had found someone to entrust, but someone suddenly revealed that Qi Zhou already had a fiancée in his hometown.
On the one hand, there is a beautiful lady with a bright future, and on the other hand, no matter how excellent and capable she is, she is just a small employee who works for others. Everyone knows how to choose. Qi Zhou resolutely canceled his marriage in his hometown and married Miss Xiao.
However, the relationship between the two of them was not harmonious after marriage. Miss Xiao was hit by the death of her parents after giving birth to her child, and her health has always been poor. Xiao Jinghan passed away when she was five or six years old.
And within a year of his wife's death, Qi Zhou took his childhood sweetheart fiancee into the door. There was also a girl who was one year older than Xiao Jinghan, and Qi Zhou claimed that the girl was born by him and named her. Qi Yuan.
When Xiao Jinghan was young, he didn't quite understand what was going on, but when he grew up, some nasty rumors came to his ears, saying that Qi Zhou entered the Xiao family because he was greedy for the Xiao family business, and after marrying Miss Xiao, he broke up with his ex-fiancee. The two even secretly gave birth to a child, and they always treated Miss Xiao coldly and violently. Miss Xiao's parents passed away one after another, and she learned that her husband was cheating. After a series of blows, she got depression, which is why she died so early. Now the Xiao family All the family businesses have changed their surnames to Qi!
The estrangement between Xiao Jinghan and his biological father may have been caused by this, and when Qi Zhou forced Xiao Jinghan to marry the daughter of another family, the conflict was aroused. In the end, Xiao Jinghan threatened to sever the father-son relationship with Qi Zhou, and left home to enter the entertainment industry.
"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Jinghan came back to his senses one step earlier than Shen Sining, turned around and saw the person in a daze, reached out to touch Shen Sining's face, and found that it was a bit cold, he asked with concern, "Is it cold?"
Shen Sining hid his thoughts well, shook his head, "It's okay."
"You can go, let's go back." Xiao Jinghan took his hand naturally, put it in his palm and covered it.
Shen Sining had no objection, but when he wanted to move his legs, he found that after standing for a long time, his feet were a little frozen and he couldn't move. He couldn't feel anything below his knees, and his walking posture was ridiculous.
Xiao Jinghan noticed something was wrong with him, and held him down, "Are your feet numb?"
"It's too cold, I'm freezing." Shen Sining's nose was red, and he sniffed, feeling a little pitiful.
"Come up, I'll carry you on my back." Xiao Jinghan patted himself on the shoulder, motioning Shen Sining to put his back on his back.
"Come on, there are quite a lot of people here." Shen Sining looked around, there were other people in the cemetery who came to sweep the grave, a little embarrassed.
Xiao Jinghan hugged his waist, pretending to sink down and hug his knees, deliberately teasing him, "Back or hug, choose one?"
"Don't, don't, don't!" Shen Sining hurriedly pushed him away, it's too shameful for a princess to hug her!Reluctant to compromise, "I choose the back! You squat down so that I can come up."
Xiao Jinghan squatted down slightly, Shen Sining looked left and right for a while, took advantage of people not paying attention, jumped up on Xiao Jinghan's back, hugged his neck and buried his face on his shoulders, comforting himself so that no one would see his face and not know who he was , the degree of shame has been reduced a lot.
Xiao Jinghan supported Shen Sining's legs to stand up steadily and walked forward. The weight of the two of them made the footprints in the snow much deeper. When they came, there were two rows of footprints, but when they went back, they formed a string. Shen Sining felt Xiao Jinghan's back. There was warmth from the upload, and there was a hot throbbing in my heart.
"Why did you think of bringing me here?" Shen Sining rested his chin on Xiao Jinghan's shoulder. After a while, he felt that the bones on his shoulder were too hard and he panicked, so he turned his head to face Xiao Jinghan's neck.
Underneath Xiao Jinghan was wearing a low-necked sweater without a scarf, and felt the stubble on Shen Sining's chin prick the skin between his neck, numb and itchy.
Xiao Jinghan whispered in front, "I just want to show you to my mother."
Shen Sining breathed heavily, pretended to tease and asked: "Does this mean to bring me to meet my parents?"
Xiao Jinghan pushed him up, and said vaguely: "If you think it is, then it is."
Shen Sining "cut", "What do I think it is? I'm all here. If you admit it, I won't laugh at you."
Xiao Jinghan curled his lower lip silently, "Okay, I admit it, I'll bring my mother's daughter-in-law back to show her."
Shen Sining immediately felt that he had been taken advantage of, pinched Xiao Jinghan's neck to force him to admit his mistake, and then announced brazenly, "Your benefactor father will always be your benefactor father."
Xiao Jinghan followed Shen Sining on his back. He has been spending New Year's Eve alone all these years, and he came to pay homage to his mother by himself. He didn't feel lonely in the past. It wasn't until now that he was accompanied by another person by his side that he felt warmth. Once this feeling is in your hand, you never want to let go.
In the afternoon, it was snowing heavily again. The two hailed a taxi and planned to go to the airport, but they heard the news on the radio in the car that all planes at the airport were grounded due to the upcoming blizzard. It will take off again, and the weather forecast says that the blizzard may have to fall until tomorrow morning.
There was no other way, Xiao Jinghan could only ask the driver to turn around and go to the hotel, planning to rest for one night before going back the next morning.
The two of them stayed at the most luxurious hotel in City C, which was also owned by the Lixing Group. However, the front desk of the hotel didn't know who Xiao Jinghan was, and Xiao Jinghan didn't reveal his identity, so the person in charge of the hotel didn't know that their young master had died. Quietly and privately visited them.
There was nothing to do in the afternoon, the two of them wandered around City C and returned to the hotel's cafeteria for dinner. Halfway through the meal, the lobby manager of the hotel suddenly came over and said that there was something wrong with the fire alarm equipment in the room they were staying in, and they needed to check it. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the guest needs to be present, please ask one of Xiao Jinghan and Shen Sining to supervise.
Xiao Jinghan asked Shen Sining to stay, and he and the lobby manager went back to the room.
Just as Xiao Jinghan left the restaurant, another man in a suit came over and said politely to Shen Sining: "Hello, Mr. Shen, I am Mr. Qi's secretary. Mr. Qi would like to invite you to meet with me. I wonder if Mr. Shen has time?"
Shen Sining didn't need to think too much, he understood that who else could be "President Qi", it must be Xiao Jinghan's father, Qi Zhou.
But how did Qi Zhou know that Xiao Jinghan was here with him?
Since Qi Zhou is here, the lobby manager just now said that there is a problem with the room, maybe he ordered him to find an excuse to send Xiao Jinghan away, why would Qi Zhou want to see himself?
As soon as it comes, it's safe, Shen Sining nodded with a smile, "Okay, please take me there."
Shen Sining followed the secretary to a private room, and there was only an old man in a wheelchair and a servant serving him.
Shen Sining had seen a photo of Qi Zhou on the TV news, so he naturally knew who the old man in the wheelchair was. Qi Zhou was hospitalized for a heart attack some time ago, and that serious illness had a great impact on his body, not only his face was older than in the photo In the teens, it also affects daily activities.
Although Qi Zhou has aged a lot, his eyes are still very sharp. He glanced at Shen Si Ning, and Shen Si Ning immediately felt as if he had been scanned by X-rays. In front of the shrewd Qi Zhou, he couldn't hide what was going on in his heart. He saw it right away.
"I took the liberty to invite you here, I hope you don't mind." Qi Zhou smiled gently at Shen Sining, not as harsh as Shen Sining imagined.
Shen Sining replied politely: "No, what can I do for you?"
Qi Zhou spoke slowly: "I know that Jing Han will come to worship his mother at this time every year, and I just happened to be in City C today, so I sent someone to check your whereabouts in advance, just to talk to you about Jing Han. "
Shen Sining remembered that there were traces of sweeping and flowers and tributes in front of Xiao's mother's tomb, and guessed that Qi Zhou might have gone to sweep the tomb before them, so it seems that Qi Zhou is not as unfeeling to his wife as rumored.
The secretary asked Shen Sining to sit down and poured him a cup of tea, but Shen Sining didn't drink it, saving the exchange of greetings and asked straight to the point: "What does Mr. Qi want to talk about?"
Qi Zhou said: "I know that you and Jing Han are very close. He won't listen to what I say as a father, but he may listen to what you say. I want you to help persuade him not to be in the entertainment circle anymore. Waste your life here."
Shen Sining: "Sorry, Mr. Qi, I don't agree with what you said. I don't think developing in the entertainment industry is a waste of life. Jing Han has already made his mark in the entertainment industry. He can go a long way on the road of acting."
Qi Zhou smiled, "I only have his son, and Li Xing will have to be handed over to him one day. If Li Xing's future helm is an actor who knows nothing about company management, will Li Xing have a future?"
Shen Sining was slightly surprised, Qi Zhou would return the company to Xiao Jinghan?
"You want Jing Han to continue to do so, why didn't you tell him these words in person?" Shen Sining asked calmly.
Qi Zhou coughed twice, his voice hoarse, "He has a knot in his heart that he can't solve. If I told you, if he would listen, I wouldn't bother to find you."
"Please forgive me, if you want him to return to the company, there are actually many ways." Shen Sining said, "For example, with your position of power, if you want to block a person in the entertainment industry, it should be easy, right? Get rid of him The way of an actor, he was forced to turn back."
Qi Zhou looked at Shen Sining with a half-smile, "Why do you think I am such an unreasonable person? If I want to do this, I can do it on the first day he stepped into this business." I did it, there is no need to wait until today. Even if some of my actions were inappropriate before, but the broken bones are still connected, and he and I are father and son, not enemies."
Shen Sining asked coldly: "You can't cut off his way, so you cut off the way of those who can help him?"
Zijunahan: "What do you mean?"
Shen Sining said: "Isn't it because I insisted on supporting him that you told the major banks not to lend me money?"
Qi Zhou shook his head and said with a smile: "Young man, believe it or not? If I want to bring down your company, I don't need to go through so much trouble finding a bank."
"You mean, you didn't do it?" Shen Sining was dubious.
Qi Zhou said calmly: "I can assure you that I have never done this. And you may not know that Mr. Zhen Longzhen, who is cooperating with you, is an old friend of mine. It is impossible for me to attack your company. .Young man, think carefully about who else you have offended!"
Shen Sining believed Qi Zhou's words to seven or eight percent, and as the other party, there was no need to deny it if he did it.
But if Qi Zhou didn't do it, who would it be?The Shen family had already cut off their financial support to Shen Sining, and with Shen Wenhan's family's scandalous behavior, he would never tell the bank to cut off his son's livelihood.
Could it be that there are other people dealing with him secretly?
"I'm sorry Mr. Qi, I misunderstood you." Shen Sining stood up and apologized to Qi Zhou with an apologetic face.
Qi Zhou waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. Calculate the time, he should come back, I won't talk to you anymore. Son, if you are sincerely for his own good, then persuade him to return to the right path he should take, I am telling you this today as a father, I hope you can understand the feelings of being a father."
Shen Sining: "Okay, I will."
The secretary sent Shen Sining away, and on the way back couldn't help but said to Shen Xining: "Mr. Shen, I have been with Mr. Qi for more than 30 years. I am very anxious to see their father and son are strangers. I want to say a few more words to you today because of my old face. I know what some of the rumours, but those aren't true."
The secretary said that Qi Zhou didn't feel sorry for Xiao Jinghan's mother, nor did he cheat on her. Miss Xiao was the old daughter of Mr. Xiao. She was doted on by thousands of people since she was a child, and she developed an arrogant temper. She has always been humble to this young lady.
But Miss Xiao could endure being Qi Zhou once or twice. If the number of times was too many, no matter how deep the relationship was, her husband and wife would have passed away one after another due to illness. Miss Xiao lost her parents who loved her the most. It's inevitable that you will be overwhelmed. The delicate flowers have not been exposed to wind and rain, and their ability to withstand is too poor. They are suffering from depression and their health is gradually getting worse.
But during those years when his wife was ill, Qi Zhou cared the most and never cheated. He and his current wife had a daughter before they divorced.
When they broke up, the fiancée didn't know that she was pregnant. When it was found out later, the doctor warned her that her body was too weak. If she had a miscarriage, she might not be able to conceive in her life. That's why she gave birth to the child. The fiancée has a strong personality. Even though she was pregnant, she didn't go to find Qi Zhou, and gave birth to the child to raise herself.
Later, Qizhou accidentally found out about such a thing, and because his wife died of illness during that period, Qi Zhou was in a depressed mood, and his fiancée carefully persuaded him to walk out with him, regardless of the previous suspicions. Out of responsibility and guilt, Qi Zhou took back their mother and daughter. , give them titles.
After listening to the secretary's rambling narration, Shen Sining asked doubtfully, "Why didn't you tell Jing Han about this?"
The secretary smiled bitterly: "In Jing Han's heart, I am Mr. Qi's person, and he won't believe me when I say this. So I beg Mr. Shen to tell him this and persuade him to think about it. Mr. Qi's body...he won't let me Tell others, in fact, every day is not as good as one day, and Jing Han can come back to take over the company sooner, so that he can get rid of this biggest worry and recuperate at ease."
Shen Sining was silent for a while, and said: "But it may not be effective if I say it, and, after all, I'm an outsider, so it's not good to meddle in their family affairs."
The secretary said: "You don't have to worry about this. I grew up watching Jing Han. I haven't seen him care about anyone like you. I can see that he was really moved this time. He must I will listen to your persuasion. Mr. Qi has seen a lot of things after the last serious illness, and will not force Jing Han to marry someone he doesn't like. He came to you this time, which is tantamount to admitting the two of you."
Shen Sining: "..." It means that today he got the approval of Xiao Jinghan's parents at the same time?
Shen Sining saw that the secretary had the posture of not letting him go unless he agreed, so he nodded and agreed: "I will do my best."
Shen Sining returned to the dining room, and Xiao Jinghan came back after a while. Seeing that Shen Sining was still sitting where he was, he didn't suspect that there was a trap. Seeing that the food on Shen Sining's plate didn't move much, he asked with concern: "Why didn't you eat much? I don't have an appetite. ? Is there any discomfort in your body?"
"No." Shen Sining picked up a fork and put a piece of fish meat into his mouth. Although he agreed to what Qi Zhou told him, he really didn't know how to speak. Xiao Jinghan didn't even confess his identity to him!
Thinking of this, Shen Sining suddenly thought of an important thing. He never asked Xiao Jinghan why he agreed to be taken care of by "Shen Sining". Did Xiao Jinghan have some hidden secrets or did he fall in love with "Shen Sining" before that?So does Xiao Jinghan like the original owner or the current him? !
