Urban Evil Emperor

Contrary to Chen Ran and Ting Dong's expectations, the news that his father was about to return to China did not make Xiao Long feel happy. On the contrary, the ten-year-old boy suddenly became taciturn.

Fan Shu and the other three girls also seemed to see the problem, and tried their best to make him happy, but he didn't become as lively as when he first came in.

At the beginning, Ting Dong didn't notice much, and his main energy was shifted to Fan Shu. This is what he planned to have a talk with Fan Shu, and today's time is just right.

Ting Dong took a sip of champagne, looked at Fan Shu and said, "Shu Shu, brother wants to ask you a question, don't get angry, and answer me directly, okay?"

Fan Shu suddenly blinked his big eyes, looked at Ting Dong in confusion and said, "Brother, why are you making it so formal? Just ask if you have anything to say, and he will answer it positively."

After speaking, he bared his teeth and smiled at Ting Dong, revealing a pair of cute little canine teeth.

Tingdong said calmly, "Do you think you are suitable for such heavy makeup?"

Fan Shu tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "I didn't think about whether it's suitable or not, but I just think it's pretty good-looking. I often see sisters dressed like this on the street, and they keep coming back!"

Ting Dong nodded and said, "I agree with the second half of your sentence, but I disagree with the first half. It should be right that the rate of return is high, because wearing heavy makeup looks very special, very different, and it is inevitable to attract people's eyes.

"Just like in a group of normal people, if a disabled person walks over, or a person whose face is burned and looks hideous, people will look at them more, not because they are beautiful, but because they are special.

"But people with disabilities or burns have no other choice. Although they don't like everyone's gaze, they can't control it, so we shouldn't discriminate against them."

Fan Shu was taken aback, put down the knife and fork in his hand, looked at Ting Dong and said, "Brother, are you hurting me? Do you think so? My current attire is very fashionable!"

Ting Dong nodded and said: "You may be right, it is a fashion, but this fashion is not suitable for students, Shu Shu, you and your two classmates are very pure and beautiful girls , as long as you keep your true colors, you are the most beautiful, because your youth is the greatest capital.

"However, you all want to dress yourself up in a flashy way, just like the street girls and punks. You are fashionable at a good level, and coquettish at a bad level. In the eyes of many people, you are simply bad girls. There will be little hooligans to bully you, do you think I am right?"

After hearing Tingdong's words, Fan Shu's two classmates lowered their heads, but Fan Shu frowned, as if he couldn't figure it out.

Ting Dong sighed, and continued: "Little sister, do you think your sisters Yu'er and Wenli are beautiful?"

Fan Shu nodded and said, "Of course they are beautiful. Are the two of them recognized as the school beauties of No. [-] Middle School? Who doesn't know? My brother's vision is not good enough? Hee hee!"

Speaking of this, Fan Shu and her two classmates became active again and began to wink.

Tingdong ignored their small movements, and continued to ask Fan Shu: "Then when have you ever seen Wang Siyu and Song Wenli in costumes like yours?"

Fan Shu looked at his two classmates, Sun Yang and Hu Zhenzhen, and the three shook their heads at the same time.

Ting Dong picked up a piece of steak and put it into his mouth, then looked at Fan Shu and her two classmates and said, "I don't want to say anything, because you are also growing up and have your own judgments.

"I just want to tell you that only those older women who are no longer so confident in their appearance will wear heavy makeup to cover their shortcomings. Confident women never wear heavy makeup. Look at Aunt Ranran, he only put on a light makeup.

"A girl who has no self-confidence and doesn't understand beauty and ugliness, even if she wins the boy's favor for a while, such a child is not of high taste and is not worth mentioning.

"Of course, this is also my personal aesthetic, you don't have to take it to heart, but Shu Shu, my brother said this for your own good, no matter how you dress or make up, it's your freedom, I won't say anything more in the future , take care of yourself."

After finishing speaking, Tingdong didn't say anything more to them, because his attention was finally attracted by Xiaolong, because his mother finished talking with him, and he didn't say a word, but mechanically ate the food that his mother had prepared for him. food.

Tingdong happened to be sitting next to Xiaolong. He touched Xiaolong's forehead, but he didn't feel any heat, then leaned over and whispered in Xiaolong's ear, "Is there something on Longlong's mind? Why is he so unhappy?"

Xiaolong didn't seem to hear, and didn't respond at all. After a few seconds, the child's eye circles were a little red, and he turned his head, looking at Tingdong as if asking for help.

Tingdong felt a pain in his heart, a piercing pain, because he saw indescribable pain in Xiaolong's helpless eyes, it was a child, a child who was only ten years old, how could he have such a complicated problem? Emotional expression?

Tingdong couldn't help but slowly put Xiaolong's head in his arms, and patted his shoulder lightly.

Xiaolong also fell obediently in his arms, motionless.

After a while, Tingdong realized that his shirt was wet again. It was wet by his mother just now, but it had been dried by his own body temperature. Now the child was crying silently.

Chen Ran, who was sitting on the other side of Xiaolong, looked at this side with concern, and Tingdong shook his head slightly, motioning her to keep quiet.

Xiaolong is only ten years old, and his mind is very fragile. No matter what he thinks in his heart, he must be guided correctly, and he must not leave a shadow in his young mind, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Tingdong himself is an example.

Tingdong patted Xiaolong's shoulder, bowed his head again, and asked softly in his ear: "Can I talk to Uncle? Maybe Uncle can help you untangle the knot in your heart!"

After a little hesitation, Xiaolong also put his mouth close to Ting Dong's ear, and whispered in a hoarse voice: "Uncle, Dad is not abroad, right? Mom is lying to Xiaolong, right?"

Tingdong smiled wryly in his heart, as expected, Xiaolong had noticed that he was no longer a completely ignorant child.

Sighing secretly, Tingdong asked Xiaolong again: "Then do you know what daddy does?"

Xiaolong nodded blankly and said, "Once I heard from a classmate that there was a thief named 'Kantong Hero', and his name was Yue Guanzhong, which was the same as his father's name."

At this moment, Chen Ran also brought her ears closer, and after hearing Xiaolong's words, her face suddenly turned pale.

Tingdong reached out and patted Chen Ran's thin shoulder, and Chen Ran's tears flowed down again in an instant.

Tingdong shook his head and said, "Sister, let's talk upstairs with Xiaolong!"

At this moment, Chen Ran had no idea, so he nodded.

Tingdong pulled Xiaolong up and said: "Let's go upstairs and talk with mom and uncle. Longlong is a big boy, and there are some things that I should let you know."

Still in Xiaoting's office, Xiaolong, like Tingdong, chose to sit on the single sofa opposite Tingdong instead of sitting on the long sofa with his mother. There is a gap between Xiaolong's psychology and his mother.

Chen Ran's eye circles were a little red again, Ting Dong nodded, signaling her not to worry, take her time.

Looking at Xiaolong's eyes full of hope, Tingdong sighed, and said slowly: "Xiaolong, do you know who a knight is?"

Xiaolong thought for a while and said, "Should be like Guo Jing and Yang Guo, who fight for justice and fight against injustice, right, uncle? I think you are like a knight, a hero!"

Tingdong laughed: "Uncle is not considered a hero, but there is a man who is a real hero. He specializes in stealing money from corrupt officials to help the poor, so the common people gave him the nickname 'Kandong Hero'."

Xiaolong's eyes lit up: "Uncle, you mean Dad is a hero, he is a good man?"

After finishing speaking, his eyes dimmed again, and he murmured, "But, no, only bad people steal, only bad people can go to jail?"

Tingdong shook his head and said: "Longlong, there are some things you still can't fully understand, so my mother and I didn't want to tell you the truth so early, we wanted to tell you the truth when you were older, including your father. this means.

"However, since you know all about it, we can only tell you in advance that your family has been doing this kind of chivalry since your ancestors, and is well-known inside and outside the customs.

"After liberation, the government severely cracked down on theft, and your grandfather was about to stop. Unexpectedly, he was framed by bad guys. Your grandfather was killed, and your father started to go back to his old business in a fit of anger.

"After a lot of things, your father is ready to quit and be a good and ordinary person. However, a few years ago, to help me, he once again stole an official family and was arrested by the police. Stopped, and then went to prison.

"So, although your father is in prison, he is not a bad person in fact, but to help me, Xiaolong, it is Uncle who is sorry for your family!"

Chen Ran was stunned, she didn't expect Tingdong to say that, of course, in this way, Yue Guanzhong's image would be much taller than before, but this would damage Tingdong's image in Xiaolong's mind, moreover, this is not true at all ah.

She wanted to stop Tingdong from going any further. Since the child already knew, it's better to just tell the truth.

Tingdong shook his head resolutely, looking at her unquestionably.

Chen Ran sighed, and turned to Xiaolong. She found that her son's eyes had obviously brightened, so she had to do this first. The child is the most important thing, and I had to talk about other things later. Anyway, their family owed Tingdong enough.

She glanced at Tingdong gratefully, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
