my sister is cute

Chapter 56 The Amazing Truth

There are two people sitting in the hall.

The man was leaning against the sofa, his hands were naturally placed on both sides of the sofa, one leg was tilted up and shaking unconsciously, and his fingers were also beating the sofa regularly, as if following the beating of the heart.

My mother is still the same as before, with no expression on her delicate face under the bowler hat, she just silently looks at the man in front of her, with a complex, scrutinizing gaze, as if she wants to get to know him again.

The pendulum on the wall was rotating regularly, and the sound of "tick-tick-tick" could be heard clearly. The two sat face to face, neither of them spoke. Looking at the situation from a distance, it revealed a strange feeling.

However, the silence was finally broken by a light cough.

My mother covered her lips, raised her head and looked at the man in front of her, her eyes were watery, calm and without any waves, "How are you doing recently, how are you doing?"

The man smiled, and the corners of his eyes were squeezed out by him, "It's still the same as before, with endless business, endless entertainment, and no time to stop and take a breath."

Mom smiled, gently stroking the glass in front of her, her movements were gentle and slow, elegant and beautiful. "You look a lot like him."

"Yes, but in this respect, I'm not as good as him." The man lit a cigarette, put it in his mouth, took a deep breath, and exhaled.The white smoke circle slowly hovered in the sky. The man looked at it, as if remembering the unbearable past, with a heavy and sad expression.

"He is a genius. I am not as good as him when it comes to business, and I am not as good as him when it comes to means. I am not as good as him even when it comes to pleasing my family. All along, it seems that he is the shadow I am trying to catch up with."

Speaking of this man, he choked and slapped his chest desperately, his face full of unwillingness, "It would be more appropriate for him to inherit my father's career, but it's a pity, the heavens are jealous of talents, and I'm afraid the old man will never be able to do that kind of thing in his life." won't forgive him."

Mom always looked at him calmly, "So you are very happy, right."

"No." The man shook his head, "In order to get where I am today, I have planned for a long time. I want to prove myself in front of my father. I am not weak. My brother can do it. Why do everyone think I can't do it?" , why all the glory should be taken for granted for him, has it been decided since I was born that I will hide under the shadow of my brother for the rest of my life?"

"Father gave me a chance. If I win, the company is mine. If I lose, I have nothing. I am very grateful for this opportunity, so I worked hard to accumulate strength in secret, and wanted to have a real contest with him, but , but he ran away, and I won without a fight."

"That day, really, I have never been so ashamed in my life. Doesn't he know that this is a greater humiliation to me? I would rather lose this competition openly than win it empty-handed." I've always dreamed of it."

My mother listened quietly, her face was a little moved, her mouth opened and opened again, and finally it turned into a soft sigh.

"Then have you found out his whereabouts?"

The man shook his head, his face was full of loneliness and resignation, "No, it's as if he has never appeared before. There has been no news about him for so many years. Sometimes I really wish that this never happened."

Said that the spring rolls came out of the kitchen with a tray, her delicate little face shone with a faint luster, wearing a pink cartoon T-shirt and black shorts, she walked over obediently.

The two people in the living room straightened up quickly, as if nothing happened just now.

My mother smiled and watched the spring roll approaching slowly, a bright smile flashed across her face, she got up and took the plate that the spring roll was carrying, and said kindly to her: "Rongrong, it's really hard work for you, it's hard to take a rest at home. I want to help your father entertain guests."

Seeing that the plate in his hand was taken away by his mother, Chun Juan quickly reached out to stop him, "No, no, you come to my house as a guest, and I will help my dad entertain the guests. You should, you should."

My mother smiled gratifiedly when she saw Chunjuan being so sensible, and looked at her lovingly, "It's better to be a daughter, she is sensible and well-behaved, and can help with housework. Let's play."

Chunjuan smiled shyly, seeing his father looking at him unblinkingly, Chunjuan's little face turned red.

"Dad, you're thirsty, hurry up and have a taste of the coffee I made for you."

Chunjuan hurriedly took down the coffee on the left and put it in front of the man, and then took down another cup and put it in front of the mother.

The man stared at Chunjuan in astonishment, as if seeing her for the first time.

Thinking of what would happen next, Chun Juan laughed even harder.

"Rongrong, you seem to be very happy today." The man was stunned for a long time, and suddenly these words popped out of his mouth.

Chunjuan let out a small snort, then covered her mouth and laughed hastily, "Because there is something that makes me happy."

"Happy thing?" The man looked at Chunjuan with a puzzled expression, "What's the matter?"

Chunjuan shook his head and remained silent, pretending to the two people in the living room.

After grimacing, he ran down with the plate in his hand.

Hiding behind the sofa, Spring Roll covered her mouth and smiled, "Haha, let's see how you end up."

The man gave her a very weird look, and joked to his mother: "It's okay, this girl is like this, let's continue talking."

"Yeah." Mom nodded, took a sip of the steaming coffee on the table, and then put it down.

The man smiled: "I'm afraid you came to see me today not just for chatting and reminiscing about the old days. You have been absent-minded since you entered the door. Tell me, what's the matter?"

My mother gritted her teeth, and finally said, "Duanmulei, he was kidnapped, and the other party wants a ransom of 50 yuan. As long as the money is paid, they will release him."

The man frowned upon hearing this, picked up the coffee on the table and poured it into his mouth.

"Pfft!" Before taking a few sips, the man spit out all the coffee in the cup, and the remaining coffee stains sprayed all over the table and even splashed some on the floor.

The mother's face suddenly turned cloudy, "What do you mean, is it so funny?" The man shook his head and kept sticking out his tongue.

"No, what did you say, Xiao Lei was kidnapped?" The man hurriedly changed the topic, his whole face had already turned purple because of the cup of coffee.

The mother nodded, "Yes, I'm going crazy now, can you help me." The man lowered his head and wondered what he was thinking, but he didn't respond for a long time.

"Duanmuxuan!" Mom finally got angry, and sweared at the man opposite, "What are you still thinking at this moment, don't you want to save him, after all, he is your nephew!"

"Chu Qing." The man sighed, and his tone became serious, "I hope you calm down, it seems that things are not as simple as you imagined."

Chunjuan hid behind the sofa, covered his lips and stood there dumbfounded.
