the knife of love

Chapter 338 25 years, 10 minutes
In the afternoon, Guan Lue asked someone to move some of Tang Jingcheng's things from her apartment. In fact, they only moved some clothes and daily necessities that she needed for the season. The rest of the house was not lacking anyway.

After arriving at the closed house, Guan Lue coaxed Tang Jingcheng to take a nap upstairs. The doctor said that she was weak and needed more rest.

She has indeed been lazy recently, probably because of her pregnancy, she can fall asleep after changing into a comfortable dress.

Guan Lue sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her sleeping face, curly hair, small and fair face, the corners of her lips were slightly raised due to the sound of sleeping.

He was a little puzzled, this girl is almost 30 years old, why does she sometimes look like a child?
The child who has a bad temper and hard temper, and always makes him worry!

After Guan Lue went down the stairs, he asked Ning Bo to explain some things. Ning Bo was clear in his heart and knew that Tang Jingcheng had a different position in Guan Lue's heart. Now that she was pregnant again, she would be the mistress of this house sooner or later.

"Ninth Young Master, don't worry, as long as Miss Shen stays in the house for a day, I will definitely take care of you here. I have already arranged the things you told me in the morning, and I will pay special attention to Miss Shen's food and clothing in the future .”

Ning Bo has been working in Guan Zhai for so many years, Guan Lue is naturally relieved of him.

"Thank you, please take your time."

"Master Ninth, what are you talking about? From now on, I will treat Ms. Shen as a member of the house." Ning Bo was also thoughtful, and his words were tight.

Guan slightly pursed his lips and smiled.

"Don't call Miss Shen in the future, she doesn't believe in Shen."

"..." Ning Bo paused.

In fact, Bo Ning had guessed before that if it wasn't for that girl Guan Lue would not have cared so much for her back then, but it was his private matter after all, and Bo Ning never asked about it.

Now that Guan Lue said so, Ning Bo was able to confirm that he nodded slightly, his face still as serious as ever.

"Master Ninth, I understand."

"..."

understand what?Guan slightly smiled: "I have something to go out in the afternoon, and I should come back for dinner tonight." After speaking, he looked up upstairs, "When she wakes up later, you will..."

"I know, Young Master Ninth has explained everything just now, don't worry." Ning Bo said with a calm and serious face.

Guan Lue could only use his fingers to pick up the end of his nose, well, now it seems that he is talking about mother-in-law.

Su Hongzhi is finally willing to meet Su Jue.

According to the regulations, he could only speak a few words on the phone through a layer of glass, so Su Jue had to ask someone to go all the way to get to meet him in the visiting room.

The prison where Su Hongzhi was detained was a bit far from the city, so Su Jue turned down all his work and entertainment in the afternoon, went directly from the company, and drove by himself without a driver.

It was almost two o'clock when we arrived there. Someone brought Su Jue into a small visiting room, which was very dark. There was a long table, two chairs, four white walls, and one white wall was opened near the top. A small window with iron bars.

The light from the outside came in from the small window in the form of a projection, and a light and shadow just happened to be cast on the long table.

"President Su, wait here for a moment, and someone will bring you in a while." The person who brought Su Jue in closed the door and left quickly, leaving only Su Jue in the cramped visiting room.

He looked around and leaned back on the chair wearily. In front of him was the beam of light, golden yellow, like a knife piercing the darkness.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, it was a very painful period of suffering. Finally, there was the sound of footsteps at the door, mixed with the sound of iron chains dragging on the concrete floor. There are still echoes in the hallway.

Su Jue closed his eyes, propped his knees and stood up from the table.

The door opened, and the first person to walk in was a prison guard, holding the door for someone in front.

"come in."

The light in the corridor came in with the shadow of the door. Su Hongzhi was led in by another prison guard. Su Jue moved his gaze over with difficulty, closed his eyes, and swayed unconsciously...

This flash is 25 years.

Twenty-five years ago, Su Jue was 25 years old, and he was led into Su's house in the same way.

He still remembers the scene when he met Su Hongzhi back then. His mother had just passed away at that time, and he had no other relatives in Yunling. Inferior coffins and urns are extremely poorly made.

Su Hongzhi arrived at the end of the funeral, and later Su Jue found out that his mother had given Su Hongzhi's phone number to a good sister before she left, and told her to contact him after she left.

At that time, Su Hongzhi's car drove directly to the door of the rental house. I remember it should be a black Mercedes.

In the 90s, anyone in an inland city could have a Santana, and Mercedes-Benz was even rarer. The car was a smuggled product that came in from the Guangzhou port. As soon as it stopped there, it immediately attracted the attention of the neighbors. gaze.

The so-called neighbors are actually girls in the dance hall and sauna room. This world has long practiced class, class, class, and what kind of people live in any place.

Su Jue's mother came from this class, and the people around him were also from this class, but Su Hongzhi's arrival caused quite a stir.

At that time, Su Hongzhi was only in his 30s, just the best age for a man, dressed in suits and leather shoes, with a dignified appearance, standing among a group of vulgar fans, he knew he was a superior man.

That time Su Hongzhi also brought two assistants there, a man and a woman. After entering, the eyes of the women in the room seemed to glow. The "business card" passed by, but Su Hongzhi didn't even look at it. He didn't drink water or sit on a stool. Ling Lie glanced around the crowded hall and saw a thin figure kneeling in the corner.

At that time, Su Jue was still wearing a big filial piety, and the 13-year-old child knelt alone in front of the coffin to burn paper, his thin figure surrounded by the light from the brazier.

He seemed to have his own world, and he didn't ask who came or went in the house.

Su Hongzhi stood beside him for two to three minutes. Su Jue had no expression on his face. He just mechanically threw the paper money into the brazier and stirred it with a wooden stick. cry.

Quite a strange child, this is Su Hongzhi's first impression of him.

"Are you Ah Jue?" Su Hongzhi asked first, his voice was not high-pitched, and his voice was so cool that no intimacy could be heard.

Leaving aside this point of blood relationship, they were originally two strangers who had nothing to do with each other.

Su Jue didn't raise his head immediately when he heard the sound, he just used the wooden stick in his hand to hold down the paper that was about to fly, sparks came out, and his eyes were reddened.

"Ajue, hurry up and call someone, call Dad!" A woman next to him screamed to remind him.

Only then did Su Jue move, and took out the red-hot wooden stick from the brazier, a few wisps of soot just fell on the pair of polished leather shoes in front of him.

Perhaps it was just a conditioned reflex, Su Hongzhi immediately shrank his feet back, with obvious displeasure on his face.

It was this subtle reaction that made Su Jue look up, and seeing that Su Hongzhi had retreated about two or three meters away from him, he stood up with a wooden stick. At that time, his head was not even up to Su Hongzhi's shoulders, but he insisted Lift your neck.

The whole room looked at the father and son.

"Call me!" Someone reminded me, probably no one thought that Ah Jue, who was raised by a dancing girl, would have such a respectable father.

"Call Dad!" Someone kept urging, as if the whole world was waiting for their father and son to recognize each other.

Su Jue's eyes that had been silent all this time also moved accordingly, and he looked at Su Hongzhi, and was about to speak, but before the word "father" could be uttered from the vocal cords, Su Hongzhi raised a hand "No need." Then he shook the shoe again, several times in a row, but the soot on the shoe was still not clean.

"Dirty shit..."

Su Jue clearly heard Su Hongzhi swear secretly, and the two assistants next to him probably heard it too. One of the male assistants immediately pulled out a clean square scarf from his bag, and Su Hongzhi snatched it and bent down to grab it. After wiping the uppers of his shoes clean, he casually threw the square towel into the brazier beside him.

All movements are quick, accurate and done in one go, as if by instinct.

The woman standing in the room let out a "chi-" from someone.

Su Jue's expression moved slightly, and he quietly watched the pretty square scarf turn into ashes in the brazier, but the "Dad" that was almost on the verge of his mouth still failed to utter.

It wasn't called out at the time, and it hasn't been called out in the next 25 years.

Su Jue has always only called Su Hongzhi's father, and when it is absolutely necessary, the two words of respect and respect reveal a distinct alienation.

"I came today to ask your opinion, that woman..." Su Hongzhi said halfway, glanced at the coffin next to him, and then changed his words: "Your mother, your mother is gone, what do you plan to do from now on?"

"What else can he do? Teenagers know nothing!"

The one who grabbed the conversation was Su Jue's mother's good sister during her lifetime, she was the one who called Su Hongzhi.

She originally thought that this man had a bit of conscience if he was willing to come, but now it seems that it probably doesn't seem like that.

Seeing that Su Hongzhi didn't say anything, the woman walked up to him with her hips on her waist: "What should I say? Ah Jue is so big and only follows her mother. Her mother never bothered you, and you never gave them a mother and a child." A penny, now that Ah Jue is in junior high school, he is obedient and sensible, you have earned a son for nothing, no matter how you calculate this account, you should be the one to get it..."

The woman who came out of the sensual occasion was very aggressive, and the other sisters beside her also echoed her voice. Su Hongzhi was surrounded by them, with an ugly expression on his face.

Seeing this, the male assistant next to him stood in front of him and propped his arms: "What are you doing, want to rebel?"

"There's no need to rebel, just to remind Boss Su that he should fulfill his obligation as a father!" Someone in the crowd interjected, and then roared with laughter.

Su Hongzhi's face was livid, and he wondered why he would go to such a place to be ridiculed by a group of dirty girls.

He shouldn't be someone who will appear here. In his eyes, this room full of women, and even this child standing in front of him should not be something that will appear in his glorious life!
A failure, a failure!
"Boss Su, the women who come from that kind of place don't have much quality, don't be as knowledgeable as them!" Su Hongzhi glared at the female assistant next to her as she flattered her, "You handle it, I'm too lazy to tell them!"

It's really too lazy to tell them, it's disgusting to even take a second look.

The women became even more violent when they heard this.

"Yo~ You are too lazy to tell us? Yes, yes, you are noble, you are rich, you are a big boss, we are all dirty goods sold everywhere with our buttocks between our legs, if you hate it, why did you come here? Yourself I can't manage my lower body, and even made a son out, is it too late to dislike him now?"

"That's right, don't think it's great to have a few stinky money, do you really think everyone is rare?"

"...Anyway, Ah Jue is here today. After his mother dies, he will follow you. If you don't care, we will jointly sue you in the court. Let's see if your big boss can afford to lose this person!"

"That must be too much to lose. Considering that Boss Su is considered a person of status, he actually gave birth to a son with a woman in the dance hall. If this matter is really going to quarrel, I probably won't be able to hold back on it. Besides, I heard that Boss Su has already given birth to a son. Married, the child is not a few years younger than Ah Jue, right?"

A group of women chattered and attacked Su Hongzhi. Su Hongzhi was so enraged on the spot that he turned around and grabbed Su Jue's arm.

Su Jue was still young and thin at the time, and he hadn't slept for several days, so he turned his whole body to one side, the filial hat on his head fell off, and his clothes were disheveled.

But Su Hongzhi was wearing a decent suit, with a dark face, aggressive.

"Let me ask you, do you plan to live alone in the future or go back with me? If you go alone, I will arrange for you to go abroad, and I will pay for all the expenses abroad. I will also send a reliable person to take care of your daily life and food." .”

This condition sounds very attractive, and normal people will agree.

The room suddenly became quiet, Su Hongzhi stopped after asking, and waited for Su Jue's answer.

All eyes were fixed on Su Jue's face, Su Jue remained expressionless, pursed his lips, and turned his dark eyes around Su Hongzhi's face.

Su Hongzhi felt guilty from his gaze, and he was only a 13-year-old child.

How can a 13-year-old have such savage eyes?

"Don't just stick around, talk! If it's okay, I have to apply for a visa for you and find a school. By the way, don't you even have a passport? There are a lot of things to do in the future, so give me an explanation!"

Su Hongzhi was eager to send Su Jue out at the time, and he thought that Su Jue would definitely choose to go abroad, after all, such a good treatment, but who would have thought that this child just blocked Su Hongzhi's hand, He straightened his collar that was being pulled by him, stood up straight, and looked up as much as possible to meet his eyes.

"Then what if I want to go back with you?"

This was the first sentence Su Jue said to Su Hongzhi, the first request he made, it was unexpected, he actually chose a road that others thought was the most difficult.Su Hongzhi was stunned for a moment, is this kid really stupid?What can I get from going back with him?
There is nothing but endless cold eyes, abuse, and grievances.

What's more, Su Hongzhi had already married his wife at that time, and Su Zhan was about to go to junior high school at that time, that magnificent Su house was like a cold cage to a 13-year-old child, he knew it well, but he still chose to be with him Su Hongzhi went back.

Su Hongzhi didn't answer for a while, and a woman beside him advised him: "Don't be stupid, Ah Jue, it's great to go abroad, you have food, housing, and a good school to study in, and you will be a master when you come back in the future."

This is the thinking of ordinary people, but Su is absolutely unwilling.

"If you can take me back, that's the best! If you can't take me back, then you go, I can live alone!" Su Jue was firm, and after speaking, he squatted down and poked the brazier with a wooden stick Nearly burnt paper.

A few women next to him were chattering, and Su Hongzhi was absolutely unwilling, but he couldn't save face. Besides, he couldn't really leave the 13-year-old child alone, and he couldn't get involved if this matter spread in the future.

"Okay, since you want to go back with me, you can leave in a while, but I have something to say first. I am usually very busy with work and don't have much time at home. You take care of yourself. You have a brother over there, and I also have a wife. If you are willing Just call her mom, if you want to..."

Su Hongzhi stared at Su Jue's always cold face: "Forget it, let's talk about it later, go and pack your things, I'll send someone to pick you up at night."

Su Hongzhi was about to leave after speaking, and two assistants followed him out, one on the left and the other on the right.

Walking to the door, Su Jue, who had been standing in front of the brazier without moving, suddenly ran over.

"and many more!"

Su Hongzhi turned his head, wearing a straight suit, with a serious face, and the assistants on both sides also had expressions similar to his.

"What else?" There was obvious impatience in his tone.

Su Jue breathed a sigh of relief at the time. The 13-year-old child walked up to him holding the wooden stick in his hand, raised his head, and pleaded in a voice that could not be noticed: "Since everyone is here, do you want to see my mother?" ?”

"Your mother?" Su Hongzhi was taken aback for another moment, his eyes drifted over to glance at the coffin, and he coughed: "No need, there's nothing to see, I still have things to do, let's do this first!"

He left after speaking, and the two assistants quickly followed.

Su Hongzhi walked in the front, Xiao Leng's back was a head higher than the assistant behind him.

At that time, Su Jue was standing in the dimly lit hallway, behind him was his mother's coffin, and in front of him was Su Hongzhi who was drifting away.

It wasn't until evening that Su Hongzhi came back, that is, the male assistant who went during the day, saw that Su Jue only took the schoolbag in his hand, and didn't take the rest of the packed luggage.

"Throw away all these rags, there is no place to put them there." Although the words were light, it hurt Su Jue, who was only 13 years old at the time, and in the end Su Jue rushed to take a few A change of clothes, including a small box left by his mother when she died.

Inside the box were a passbook with a small amount of money, a photo album, and a BB machine.

At that time, the BB machine was considered a valuable item, but Su Jue's mother kept it because the BB machine was left to her by Su Hongzhi.

The driver drove the car all the way to the entrance of Su's house, a beautiful European-style villa with warm lights inside.

At that moment, Su Jue's heart lit up.

Su Hongzhi is usually upstairs in the study at night, and the male assistant takes him up directly. The heavy door is pushed open, and there is a set of rosewood furniture inside. Su Hongzhi is standing in front of a row of Duobao Pavilion, holding a Only jade is watching.

"Come here?"

Hearing the sound, Su Hongzhi didn't look up, he was looking at the jade with a magnifying glass.

Su Jue didn't gnaw, and the male assistant replied, "Here we come, Mr. Su, look...?"

Only then did Su Hongzhi manage to glance over, and saw the boy standing next to the male assistant, wearing a half-worn school uniform, carrying a schoolbag on his back, and holding an iron box in his hand.

The figure looks thin, but not thin.

"Let him go out first when you come. His room is on the first floor. I have asked the nanny to clean up an unused guest room in the afternoon. He will live there from now on." He said these words to his assistant, as if he was arranging He didn't want to tell Su Jue about a matter that bothered him very much, so he started to look at jade with a magnifying glass after explaining it to Su Jue.

Seeing that his attitude was not warm, the assistant didn't say anything, and was about to go out after teasing Su Jue, but he heard Su Hongzhi yelling again behind him: "Wait a minute!"

The man in front of Duobao Pavilion finally came over. Su Jue saw that the piece of jade he was holding in his hand was exquisitely carved and of fine quality, and the person holding the jade was also wearing a well-tailored shirt. The front looks more imposing.

"President Su, do you have any other orders?"

Su Hongzhi didn't speak, and walked up to Su Jue.

Su Jue raised his head to meet his eyes, and at that time he felt a little anticipation, thinking that he was going to tell him something, but Su Hongzhi just raised his hand and violently tore off the other black badges on his sleeve.

"This dirty thing is not allowed to be brought in, bad luck!"

The word "unlucky" shocked Su Xin, gritted his teeth, and opened his eyes again. After 25 years of coldness and humiliation, things changed and stars changed, and it was no longer that cold study.

The shiny rosewood furniture is gone, the Duobao Pavilion is gone, and the man standing in front of the shelf with a serious attitude is gone.

In front of him was the table in the visiting room, and the light coming in from the iron window spread on the mottled tabletop.

"Go in, your son will come to see you!"

The prison guard pushed Su Hongzhi, and he hunched forward a few steps, and the iron chains on his feet made a rattling sound.

Su Jue took two steps to the side of the table, trying to help, but in the end he couldn't reach out.

Su Hongzhi stood firm by himself, walked to the front of the table, Su Jue stood there and looked at him.

25 years.

The two looked at each other like this 25 years ago.

It's just that Su Hongzhi was still the all-powerful President Su back then, standing in front of the Duobao Pavilion holding priceless jade articles, but now he has been reduced to a prisoner, with iron chains on his hands and feet.

Destiny took 25 years to finally adjust the positions of the father and son.

How ironic!
"Sit down, time is limited!" The prison guard who opened the door gave Su Hongzhi a push, pushed him onto the chair opposite, and then looked up at Su Jue.

"President Su, the superiors have told us that we can only chat for 10 minutes at most. If it is too long, we will be embarrassed. You can handle it yourself!" The attitude changed 180 degrees.

Su Jue frowned, 10 minutes was a bit short, and Su Hongzhi looked like this... He glanced at the person on the opposite chair again: "Can you be accommodating and untie the things on his hands and feet?"

"I'm afraid this is not quite in line with the rules!" The two prison guards looked at each other and smiled sarcastically, "Arranging you to meet like this has already broken the regulations. I hope President Su can understand and don't make it difficult for us below."

Speaking of this decision to go to the Soviet Union, you can't force it.

Forget it.

"Then let's go out and talk!" Two prison guards came out of the visiting room. When the door was closed, one of them leaned over and reminded: "Boss Su, hurry up, 10 minutes!"

25 years, 10 minutes.

Su Jue sneered and sat down on the chair opposite the table.

enough!
