Urban Evil Emperor

"Yeah, Dad and Mom don't have much to do, so they feel extremely lonely. I advised Dad to raise flowers and go fishing, but he doesn't like it very much." Xiaoqing looked a little preoccupied.

Tingdong's heart moved, and he squeezed Xiaoqing's little hand lightly. She kept holding Tingdong's big hand without letting go, as if she was afraid that if she let go, Tingdong would run away.

Tingdong said apologetically: "Xiaoqing, I'm sorry, I was negligent. Uncle Ma has been home for two years. At first I wanted him to have a good rest. Later, I was so busy that I really forgot him. Qinger , Uncle Ma is 55 years old this year, right?"

Xiaoqing shook her head: "Why are you blaming you? If it weren't for you, Dad wouldn't have come out so soon. Besides, if it weren't for you, Dad wouldn't have suffered so much. Maybe our mother and daughter On the streets.

"You have done enough, thank you for remembering your father's age, Tingdong, I should thank you, but I can't do more things, I can only work hard.

"However, even if it's this job, you gave me such a high salary. What else am I not satisfied with?"

Tingdong could hear that there was a trace of sadness in Xiaoqing's words, and he was a little heartbroken. It should be said that except for the time when we first met, he had always had a slight affection for Xiaoqing, and even he himself said that he would not Repel Xiaoqing.

However, for so many years, his women have been one after another, but they have never had anything to do with Xiaoqing. Probably what they lack is an opportunity, but objectively speaking, Tingdong did not treat Xiaoqing badly. the same.

According to what Pan Ruoxi said, Xiaoqing was all to blame for being too reserved. If she was like her, the two of them would have been together long ago. Xiaoqing admitted Ruoxi's statement in her heart, but the two people's backgrounds and personalities are different, so It is determined that their fate will not be the same.

Tingdong gently took Xiaoqing into his arms, and said softly: "Actually, what I want to say is that I haven't cared enough for you these years, and even neglected you a little. You should blame me."

Tingdong's words suddenly touched Xiaoqing's sad place, her tears flowed down silently, and she choked up and said, "It's your fault, it's your fault, you provoke others, you treat them so well, but you just ignore them, I'd rather Everyone else is so bad, why do you ignore me, do you know how I have lived these years? You evil spirit!"

The sad tears were like beads with a broken thread, and they were out of control. Tingdong knew that she had held back for too long, and it might not be a bad thing to vent.

He patted her thin back lightly, coaxed her softly and said: "Cry, maybe it will be happy to cry out, and come with me to see Miss Xiaoyu later, and then we will discuss it with uncle and aunt when we come back. , let's go to Spring City together, ask uncle to come out of the mountain, and do something together."

After crying for a while, Xiaoqing raised her head in embarrassment, and saw that Tingdong's shoulder blades were wet, Xiaoqing smiled: "Wait for me, I'll wash my face, otherwise Mom and Dad will come back and see me like this." It looks like you're bullying others."

Tingdong also smiled: "Qing'er, I'm not afraid, I was wrong, if uncle blames me, he will beat me up, as long as you and uncle and aunt can be happy."

Xiaoqing looked at Tingdong affectionately: "If you have been coaxing me like this all the time, how happy I would be!"

Tingdong nodded firmly, and said, "Yes, I will take good care of you and coax you in the future, Qing'er."

"Can I understand that this is your acceptance and commitment to me?" Qing'er asked seriously.

"Yes!" Ting Dong nodded and said with certainty.

Xiaoqing threw herself into Tingdong's arms again with an "Aww". Just as the two of them kissed each other, there was the sound of a key being opened at the door.

Xiaoqing hurriedly pushed Tingdong away, but Tingdong followed her and held her back, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of his hand, but it was too late to cover up the red eyes and the tear stains on her face.

The moment the door opened, Ma Shiju, Zhao Bo and his wife suddenly saw the handsome and handsome boy standing behind their daughter, they were all stunned, even forgot to say hello, and both looked at their daughter.

Ting Dong bowed with a smile and said, "Hello Uncle, Hello Aunt!"

The two looked away from their daughter's face, and turned to Tingdong again, but at the moment, apart from doubts, they were also a little surprised, because how could careful parents not see the abnormality in their daughter's eyes?

Looking at the wet spot on Tingdong's shoulder again, the two couples who were over half a century old seemed to understand something, exchanged a knowing look, and it was Ma Shiju who spoke first: "Mr. Zhou, so early? It's Xiaoqing who delayed work. Right? Just make a phone call, why bother to go there in person? It’s her mother, she hasn’t been in good health recently, haha!”

Ting Dong smiled slightly: "Uncle Ma, you have a problem with me, why do you call me Director Zhou? Aunt Zhao never called me that.

"However, you should have opinions on me. I really didn't care enough about you in the past two years. No, I came to see you and my aunt. I hope you two can come out and help me, hehe!"

Hearing Tingdong's words, Ma Shiju's eyes lit up, but then he shook his head and said, "Forget it, Tingdong, don't make fun of our old couple, old man and old lady, what else can you do?" Sit down, Xiaoqing, why didn't you pour tea for the guests?"

Tingdong sat on the sofa with Ma Shiju and his wife, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I really am not joking with you, and Tingdong is not the kind of person who dares to joke with the elders casually. There is indeed something else about this time, but It was also one of my original intentions to invite you and my aunt out of the mountain."

Just as Ma Shiju was about to say something, Zhao Bo stopped his wife with a smile: "Old man, after listening to Tingdong, it's up to you whether you go or not, and the child can still tie you up?"

Ma Shiju just nodded.

Tingdong smiled and brought the tea that Xiaoqing handed him to Ma Shiju first, Xiaoqing said with a smile: "That's for you, father and mother have their own teacups."

Tingdong nodded to show his thanks, and then put the teacup in front of him, and he didn't take a sip until Ma Shiju and Zhao Bo both had a sip of tea.

Observing some of Tingdong's movements, Ma Shiju nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, Tingdong, he is still polite and humble like when I first met him, without a trace of arrogance. You can be proud of your achievements, looking at the world, you can achieve such a great achievement at such a young age, you really don’t think of anyone else.”

Tingdong shook his head and said, "Uncle, after experiencing so many ups and downs in life, I don't believe you still can't see these illusory so-called riches and honors?"

Ma Shiju smiled: "I have already passed the year of my destiny, I take it for granted, but after all, you are young, can you really regard wealth as floating clouds? Then what is your pursuit? Can you talk to me, an old man? Is it?"

Tingdong smiled: "I came here to chat with you. I was afraid that you would not welcome me, so I brought wine here to see if you are satisfied, hehe!"

Looking at the four bottles of Fenjiu and two cans of tea that Xiaoqing brought over, Ma Shi raised his eyebrows, looked at his daughter and said, "Qing'er, did you say that Dad likes this?"

Xiaoqing nodded: "Yes, but it wasn't said recently, it should have been five or six years ago, I didn't even know he came this time, otherwise, can I not tell you?"

Ma Shiju nodded and said, "I believe it's not a coincidence, right, Ting Dong, with your price today, it's no big deal to bring me a cart of Moutai, but it's not like you brought four bottles of Fenjiu to my old man's heart." Feeling warm.

"Okay, my wife, daughter, and your mother will make two small dishes, and we will have two drinks at noon. Now, Ting Dong, I want to hear from you the question I asked you just now."

Tingdong nodded and said, "Uncle Ma, to be honest, I really can't do that now, but I really don't value money very much.

"On the one hand, it's because I have money now, and on the other hand, it's because I understand that money can only be a means rather than an end. Some people beautify making money as a career. Indeed, making money to a certain extent can only be a number. So people tend to forget that money is just a means and treat it as an end.

"Because many people can't think of a more far-reaching purpose, money has to become their ultimate goal. I look down on these people. No matter how much money they have, they are slaves to money, bumpkins and upstarts.

"Uncle, do you still think that I am very humble and not arrogant?"

Ma Shiju smiled: "Tingdong, are you Uncle Kao? Modesty and principles are two different things. Modesty cannot lose principles, and arrogance does not mean arrogance. I know that you are a child who can't get along with others, otherwise, we wouldn't have done it back then." It was so embarrassing.

"However, after going through so much, I finally figured it out. You are right. What is power and money? They are means rather than ends.

"A person pursues different goals and lives for different purposes, which determine his different tastes and different paths. It's a pity, Uncle, I realized this a little late."

After speaking, Ma Shiju sighed and took a sip of tea.

Tingdong also raised his cup and took a sip of tea, then looked at Ma Shiju with a smile and said, "Uncle, as long as you figure it out, it's never too late. You should know Old Mayor Han, that is, Grandma Han, Han Qiaoyun, he Do you know what to do now?"

Ma Shiju nodded, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said slowly: "Of course I know, the eldest sister is always strong and vigorous, and she is admirable! Ting Dong, what you just said..."

Tingdong nodded: "Yes, I came to invite my uncle and aunt out of the mountain just to ask you to do something meaningful, something really meaningful."
