After Becoming a Little |

"Can't you be louder? Huh?" The fat man didn't look at her anymore, but angrily grabbed the wine next to him, poured himself a small amount, raised his head and drank it down, tugged at his collar irritably, and started drinking. Take out your phone to contact other friends.

The middle-aged woman raised her head and saw her own reflection in the night light of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Embarrassed, ugly, unbearable, under the painted makeup is a tired and humiliated expression.

The plane trees outside the window swayed in the night wind, and even the leaves were mocking her for being useless.

The vibration of the phone's information rang, she wiped her eyes, lowered her head and took out the phone.

"Aunt Chen, it's okay if you can't sing the company's song. We have a new song here, written by a school girl. Besides, we'll go back after singing. Is there any problem with you?"

The fingers of the middle-aged woman paused on the screen for a long time, and finally typed a line of words slowly and tremblingly, typed a few times, deleted them, and typed a few more. Just a simple truth.

Young and frivolous, impulsive, sometimes for a person like her who is in the middle, there is a kind of huge pressure that suddenly collapses, like a landslide, which makes people unable to resist.

In the distant night sky, there is a faint firework, rising from nowhere, blooming in the night sky, dotted with stars.

Maybe that place, in the dark night at the end of the line of sight, is the bustling and brightly lit Dongshan University City Gymnasium?

"boom--"

After a long, long time, there was a sound that might be fireworks, and it was so slight that one wondered if there was a real sound, or some kind of auditory hallucination made up by the human brain.

The middle-aged woman sighed, deleted the original line, typed a new line, and pressed the send button.

"It's okay, stay safe and come back early."

There is something that may not be able to persist to the end...but at least it can persist this time.

This time...next time...again...countless times...

She closed her eyes, swallowed all the hardships, and didn't want to pass it on to anyone else.

Just why... the tears that slid down from the cheeks to the corners of the mouth are so bitter...

Banquet Building·Private Room on the Top Floor

In the top private room, only a small number of guests were seated.

Nanfeng picked up a shrimp ball in front of her, peeled off the deep-fried bread crumbs, peeled off the white and tender shrimp meat, and brought it to her daughter's mouth: "Ah..."

"I know how to eat!" Nan Xiaoke murmured dissatisfiedly, but still obediently opened her mouth to take the mouthful of shrimp meat.

"Hehe..." A young man sat on the other side: "Does Xiaoke like crabs or shrimps?"

"Shrimp!" Nan Xiaoke raised her short hand and said cutely, the shrimp in her mouth hadn't been swallowed yet.

"Eat well!" Nanfeng frowned dissatisfiedly, and wiped the oil stains from the corners of her mouth with a napkin.

"So I like to eat shrimp. As expected of a smart little Ke, he just knows how to eat." The young man smiled warmly like jade: "Uncle also likes to eat shrimp. Compared with crabs, its shell is much easier to peel."

As he spoke, he tilted his head slightly, and ordered in a low voice to the assistant behind him: "Let the kitchen make some light shrimp..."

"No need." Hearing his voice, Nanfeng shook her head: "Xiao Ke can't eat that much, it's a waste."

"Don't waste it, as long as the child likes it, eat as much as you can." The young man smiled and waved his hand: "Cousin, let Xiaoke indulge more, it's rare for her to be happy tonight."

"Shrimp! Shrimp!" Nan Xiaoke waved his chubby short hand: "Shrimp!"

"...You came here this time just to treat us to a meal?" Nan Feng said, looking up at the young man.

Although the tone of voice could not be said to be eager, it was not alienated either. It was probably a normal attitude when facing relatives and friends.

In fact, no matter how much she hated the Nan family, it was difficult for her to get angry with the man in front of her. The other party could be said to be vaguely on her side from the very beginning, whether it was her willful marriage with her husband when she was in college, or later Some things caused by the accident of the husband, all have the figure of the other party helping to make things right.

Although her family can only be regarded as a collateral in the Nan family, and she can only be the last one to accompany the master's house party during the New Year's holidays, but the other party has been respectful and respectful to each other since she was a child, and has never had the slightest bit of birth or condescension. , it seems that from the time I can remember, the other party is such a perfect child of other people's family.

The eldest son of the main family of the Nan family, the eldest son of the Nan family, Nan Wen.

From the point of view of the elders, this is a typical child from other people's family. He is good at dealing with others, and his grades are good. Later, he basically did not use the energy of the family all the way to further study. He worked steadily and steadily, so that after graduating from university , and many people don't know that he is actually a serious and wealthy son.

In the eyes of the juniors, Fang Fang is a trustworthy younger brother, or elder brother. If there is something he can ask the other party to help, most of the things he can do will not refuse. Even if it is some too difficult things, the other party will often frown and preach After a few sentences, you still have to pay attention, and then settle the matter lightly. It often takes a long time for the parties to react to the other party's efforts, so they sincerely respect this kind of behavior that does not invite credit.

"It's really something." Young Master Nan nodded seriously: "I came to Dongshan to talk about cooperation with some people in the business field... But I just want to invite my cousin to dinner tonight. See Looking at Xiao Ke's physical condition, we are all family members, and it is much more important than business."

"……thanks."

Nanfeng was silent for a while, and said this softly.

In the identity of the other party, deliberately making such a gesture has actually erected a shield to block some gossip from her natal family.

Now she is holding the law firm that she worked hard with her ex-husband, and the real estate assets in various places add up to over ten million, which may not be considered a big fortune, but for those of her own family, she can only rely on the shadow of the Nan family to fool her. For relatives who have a good meal, it can be regarded as a coveted piece of fat. Over the years, many overt or covert pressures have actually been constantly superimposed.

Some time ago, the other party called, and she just casually mentioned Xiao Ke's illness. As a result, within half a month, the other party came to the door in person, and the hidden friendship was pure and warm, which made people feel at ease. After thinking about it carefully, it is probably impossible to say that I am not moved.

"Don't talk about that, as long as Xiao Ke is happy." Nan Dashao smiled, and took a box from the assistant behind him: "This is a peace talisman I asked for at Wudang Mountain... I'm afraid it will be of no use if it is really useful." I can't say it, but please rest assured, if the child needs my help in medical treatment, you can tell me, cousin, and I will do my best."

As he said that, he handed the box to Nanfeng, his words were quite sincere, and he didn't shy away from anything, and said softly: "And to be honest... If you are really tired, cousin, maybe you can find someone you like, or someone who is honest The kind of man I ordered, Xiao Ke is still young after all, don't worry about any pressure in the future, I will say hello at home."

"En." Nanfeng didn't say anything, took the box and put it aside, then nodded.

"Dad actually knows your difficulties. He told Uncle Seven before that he should not give you too much psychological burden, but you know my dad's character. He can't save face between brothers in the family. Seriously, I—"

At this time, the door of the private room was pushed open, and everyone thought that the shrimps were ready and delivered, and Nan Dashao subconsciously stopped talking.

Then I saw a group of young dandies rushing in...

"Brother—" The second young master of the Nan family walked in the front like the wind, and there were still some tea stains on the open white casual clothes: "You haven't finished eating yet?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Nanfeng next to him, ignored her, and just casually turned around to continue the previous topic with those dandy servants: "I've said it all... those guys are things that have no eyesight, hit it... "

"Ah Wu!" Young Master Nan frowned: "My cousin is here, don't you know how to be polite?!"

"Oh...cousin—ah! Cousin, are you here too? Sorry, sorry, I didn't see clearly just now!" Second Young Master Nan turned his head and looked over, exaggerating: "Wow! Cousin's figure is getting better and better. The better, the taste and the taste..."

"Boss!"

"Big brother!"

"Brother Wen..."

Those dandy servants were talking like this, and greeted Nan Dashao, all of them were as obedient as quails.

Young Master Nan nodded expressionlessly to his younger brother's cronies, and then stared at Second Young Master Nan: "Stop talking weird things in front of your cousin, and apologize!"

"..." The expression on Nan Er Shao's face froze, he turned around a little stiffly, looked at his elder brother, and then at Nan Feng next to him.

Nanfeng's father was the most useless one among his father's generation.

If that's the case, at most he looks down on the other family's family, but the problem is that Nan Feng left the Nan family early and is self-reliant.

If he was a child, he might still have a little admiration for this cousin, thinking that she is really capable.

But as he got older, some things he didn't understand before, the right to speak and advantages brought by some families, and the compliments of those friends around him accumulated, he gradually began to feel that the other party was really stupid, and even said that Nan Home has a kind of embarrassing meaning in it.

Often when everyone is chatting, other people will laugh and talk about this cousin. Although there is not much sarcasm in the words, they are more just teasing and saying, "Your Nan's brand is still not good" or "I don't care about you. Well' this kind of words, but it is somewhat harsh to the ears.

Oh, you look down on the Nan family, you are capable, you are amazing.

Then what am I, the second young master of the Nan family?An incompetent moth?

Although the accumulated dissatisfaction will not turn into hatred of shouting and killing, it is naturally impossible for him to see this cousin more.

It's just that now his elder brother looked over with genuinely dissatisfied eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he still lowered his head slightly, and said to Nanfeng seriously: "Sorry, cousin... I drank some wine just now, Talking nonsense."

He can quarrel with his old man unscrupulously, and dare to point his nose and say old things like you are old, which can be called rebellious, but as long as he turns his head and goes out, his father still can't help but gasp for anger. what to do to him.

Over the years, I have been studying outside, pestering some friends to do something, with money, and a batch from home before. When integrated, there is an illusion of "I can do it myself". Even if the old man doesn't support it, but also He will not let him, the second young master of the Nan family, be stretched.

But facing himself, the elder brother who grew up together since childhood, he couldn't even have the slightest thought of rebellion.

Nan Feng didn't lift his head, but just fed his daughter: "It's fine."

Only then did Nan Dashao nodded, waved his hands and said: "Go where you want to play, pay attention to safety at night, don't drive too fast, and Ah Wu is very naughty, you brothers should help, don't Let him mess around."

Between those words, it is indeed a matter of course to dismiss the child.

A group of cronies nodded repeatedly, saying things like "I dare not dare" or "The second young master is doing business" and so on, retreated back shivering, just at this time the shrimps were delivered, and the opened door closed When you get up, it's like isolating the two worlds.

What's inside is the world of adults, while the mess outside is probably just children who haven't woken up.

In fact, some people had some other thoughts in their hearts before, and they couldn't say it was from the dragon's work, but with so many resources in the Nan family, the second young master is only a little bit compared to the youngest, and these friends like them can share the benefits. It's really not much, and I have a kind of fantasy, thinking that if the second young master is a little tougher, then maybe the famous young master may not be able to hold the power as he is now.

But on weekdays, when the second young master of the Nan family talks about his eldest brother, he often speaks in a reverent tone, saying "what about my elder brother", this kind of tone mixed with admiration and showing off breaks their little ones little by little. thought.

Today, the second young master came here, brushed his face, the understatement of the Nan family's young master's wave of hands and words, and the second young master's well-behaved response, completely confirmed the relationship between the two direct brothers of the Nan family.

The aura of the other party can't be said to be suppressed, and it's not so majestic compared to those elders in the family, but when the words are taken for granted, there is a kind of aura that spreads out, leaving the cronies and friends with nothing to say but In addition, most of the mentality of "really the big brother" also arises, and there is a feeling of awe that is silent for a while.

A fox friend said softly: "How about... Second Young Master, let's go to Wupan Mountain to play with cars?"

The second young master of the Nan family subconsciously nodded, then shook his head again.

"No, my brother just said, don't drive too fast...Whoever you are going to go, I'll go to the bar to have some fun, if I can't do it, just go back to sleep and forget it."

He naturally listened to his elder brother's words. In fact, he ran over excitedly just now with the intention of showing off in front of his elder brother. In addition, in the final analysis, there are still some traces of imitating the elders.

Of course, these 'elders' are not his elder brother or the old man of his family. When it comes to the latter, the words and beatings have the meaning of lifting weights lightly. The elders who learn less are more those who have crossed several levels to directly bully the people below.

He looked very domineering, matched with the natural aloof mentality of today, he felt that he had the leeway to fly a sword to the sky, and the other party's reaction also proved the practicality of his method. Once or twice, naturally also That's how I developed my current style.

The eldest brother couldn't go there, and he didn't dare to go racing or something. He looked left and right, and finally led people downstairs with some disinterest.

"I hope there are juicy girls in the bar here."

"Dongshan City, a cosmopolitan city with outstanding people..."

"Second Young Master, a wealthy son-in-law who hooks his fingers casually, there are so many women throwing themselves into his arms—"

When the elevator of a group of people passed by the third floor, they suddenly met the embarrassed middle-aged woman again, and the two of them looked at each other.

Hupenggouyou's words of "many are women throwing themselves into their arms" still have an ending sound, and the middle-aged woman's wet appearance with a strong alcohol smell is reflected in front of her eyes. The singer gave the dove thing.

He himself doesn't really want to pursue it. It's like a tiger and a lion don't care about the rabbit's escape. If the opponent is right in front of him, he will kill him casually. If the hole wants to escape, it is probably for fun to take a few symbolic steps to chase it.

The prey of tigers and lions is still those large elk and bison, and only then can they obtain the satisfaction of hunting.

But sometimes, after eating and drinking enough, looking back, it seems that tossing the rabbit is not a particularly boring thing?

The Second Young Master laughed out a 'ha—' as if he remembered something interesting, and waved to the middle-aged woman in front of him, his tone became a little gentle: "Let's go, don't block the elevator."

The other party who was about to leave lowered his head obediently, stepped back, and let the elevator door open.

When the group went down to the ground floor, the second young master of the Nan family smacked his lips and looked at the group of people around him: "Who do you know... what school celebration is that, and which school is it?"
