Chapter 81： It's like the way my brother was when he was young...

It rained in Beijing in July, and the air was exceptionally fresh after the summer torrential rains.

The "crackling" torrential rain washed away the heat in the city. The rain started at night, and it fell through the whole morning.

Last night, Song Qiaoxi followed his parents and Chu Jin back home from "Dong". It was already more than 9 o'clock in the evening, and it started to rain at that time.

In my Beijing home, there is a row of large French windows in the living room.

Song Qiaoxi stretched out in front of the window, opened the window according to her mother's instructions, and fresh outdoor air poured into the air-conditioned room.

The air is fresh, with the smell of the plants in the community, as if returning to the cool autumn day.

After the rain, the sun also came out, and a rainbow bridge was erected on the horizon.

"It's a double rainbow! Chu Jin, come and see!" Song Qiaoxi turned around by the window to greet Chu Jin who was sitting on the dining room chair and reading.

Chu Jin raised his eyes, put down the book and walked to her, breathing a breath of moist air, which was different from the little girl's excitement when she saw the double rainbow. Today, he always felt a little uneasy, and his eyelids always twitched.

"Hurry up! Make a wish from the heart to the double rainbow, the Rainbow Empress can hear..." Song Qiaoxi put her hands together, closed her eyes, and made a wish religiously.

The teenager didn't make a wish like her, and Chu Jin didn't believe that "making a wish" would realize his wish.

If the "wish" can come true, then Chu Jin would pray silently in the darkness every night during the countless difficult nights in his childhood.

Unlike a child’s sweet wish, Chu Jin, who was only six years old, had a cold wish. He hoped that the person who killed his parents by drunk driving would pay for his life.

"Did you not make a wish?" Song Qiaoxi opened her eyes and looked up at Chu Jin's profile.

The sunlight after the rain poured into the room, staining the pale skin of the teenager with a little gold, and a hint of chill in his dark eyes.

"Well, I don't believe this." Chu Jin told the truth, shook his head lightly, as if he could erase his childhood memories like this.

The little girl blinked, patted his shoulder lightly, and smiled and said, "Huh? That's okay. I will help you make a wish when I make a wish in the future. You definitely didn't make a wish to Rainbow Empress before, so you didn't. believable."

"Xixi, did you make an appointment to visit Lucky at Grandpa Chu's house yesterday?" Mom walked out of the kitchen, holding a box of cooked pan in her hand, and looked at the wall clock on the wall, "It's almost two o'clock, on time In the past, take the crispy pan to Grandpa, and come back after a short play, don’t disturb others for too long."

"Okay, I'm going to change clothes." Song Qiaoxi promised, and ran upstairs in two steps in three steps. The thought of seeing Lucky soon made her heart happy.

Song Qiaoxi changed into a goose yellow sleeveless square-necked dress with a cute bow tie on the back of the waist, and her hair was matured into two low ponytails, hanging down her chest obediently.

She already knows how to braid herself, although the complicated hairstyle is not good enough, the simple ponytail is already very smooth.

Chu Jin changed into a white shirt, and his cuffs were folded twice, revealing white and skinny forearms. His lower body was dark blue casual trousers and white sneakers.

It is the most comfortable dress for a boy of this age. The whole person looks refreshed and full of youth.

The two children brought the cake pan made by Song's mother to the eighth building opposite, and there was already a servant from Mr. Chu's house waiting in the lobby.

The servant guided the two children to take a straight elevator to the sixteenth floor. Song Qiaoxi discovered that the elevator had to be activated by swiping a card.

After the rain, the servants and gardeners have cleaned up the 16th-story sky garden, and wiped clean the water stains on the tables and chairs.

On the long table are dozens of exquisite cakes, jasmine pear cake with rich jasmine fragrance, grapefruit fruit cake, chocolate rum hazelnut cake, etc., as well as various flavors of handmade chocolate.

A traditional English three-tiered snack rack is placed on the low tea table, and the tea tray is mostly savoury sandwiches, scones and other snacks.

The weather was cool, and Mr. Chu looked very good, and he smiled and greeted the two children to come to the garden.

"Good afternoon, grandpa, mom made you a crispy pot!" Song Qiaoxi walked into the garden and waved the lunch box to Mr. Chu who was sitting on the upholstered chair.

"It's great, thank you Xiao Qiao, I'm just fine with this bite." The old man Chu nodded with a smile on his crutches in both hands.

Handing the lunch box to the aunt who came oncoming, Song Qiaoxi heard a whimper of "Woo".

"Lucky!" Song Qiaoxi squatted on the ground, a small fluffy ball like snow rushed into her arms, picked up the dog, Lucky licked excitedly on her face.

As she hid, she giggled and said, "Lucky, itchy, don't lick..."

The servant brought Lucky's small toys that Lucky usually likes to play with. Song Qiaoxi has been running tirelessly with Lucky all afternoon, playing ball with Lucky in the garden and playing "tug-of-war" games.

For more than a year, Mr. Chu and Song Jianguo became a year-end friendship.

If Song Jianguo had something to do on weekends and couldn't go back to Qizhou, Mr. Chu invited him to the house to drink tea, play chess, and chat.

Father Song likes to read, and he himself has been a writer for many years. He often brings some good books to share with Mr. Chu.

When the two were chatting, Song Jianguo mentioned that Chu Jin usually reads original books, which is very similar to Mr. Chu.

In his early years, Mr. Chu and his wife traveled abroad together, and usually read English newspapers and books.

Today, the old man also prepared some English books.

Chu Jin and the old man were holding a book in their hands, sitting straight, drinking tea and reading.

Mr. Chu told the servants and assistants to go down, instead of following them in the garden.

The old and the young sit at the coffee table, and from time to time they look up from the book, looking for the figure of a girl in a goose yellow dress and a puppy like a snowball in the garden.

The playful curly-haired girl and the cute puppy play in the garden, as beautiful as a European oil painting.

After raining and clearing, such a leisurely and beautiful afternoon, but Chu House is about to usher in a farce.

Because of this farce, Chu Jin's life was completely changed.

Song Qiaoxi threw a small plastic ball with a bell in her hand, leaned down and said to the gasping puppy of "Has Haas", "Lucky, where's the ball? Get the ball back!"

Lucky ran after the ball that rang with the "bell bell", and Song Qiaoxi followed behind it.

The ball rolled to the garden gate and stopped in front of a pair of men's leather shoes.

Song Qiaoxi found an uncle with long hair over her shoulders, thin body and tall, drunken body, with one hand in her pocket, bending over and picking up the ball.

Uncle Long-haired had a weird blush on his cheeks, and the expression on his face couldn't tell whether he was laughing or crying. He looked weird and scary.

He staggered forward, shaking the ball in his hand, and said to Song Qiaoxi: "Little sister, what are you doing at my house?"

At Xixi's feet, Lucky let out a small "whispering" roar, as if to warn the person on the opposite side.

Song Qiaoxi was stunned for a moment, then took Lucky back a few steps, watching the uninvited guest warily.

This uncle looks familiar, but he has never seen him before.

Even more strange is that he said this is his home?

But here, it's obviously Grandpa Chu's home!

No, there is a thief in the house...

"Grandpa Chu, there is an uncle here..." Song Qiaoxi held Lucky in both hands and turned around and ran.

Chu Jin heard Song Qiaoxi's voice, put down the book in his hand, got up and wanted to find her.

As soon as I stood up, I saw Song Qiaoxi running over, panting, standing beside him and saying to the old man: "Grandpa Chu, there is a long-haired uncle who seems to be drunk at the door. He said this is his home?"

The little girl put down Lucky and pointed towards the door.

"Chu Youhe, you give me another fifty million in the end, and I promise to sever father-son relationship with you and never show up in front of you..." The thin young man had scarlet eyes and looked a little out of focus. , The speech is not very clear.

At this moment, the young man walked over to Mr. Chu innocently, and with one hand he overturned the teapot and afternoon tea tray on the coffee table to the ground.

There was a sound of "crackling", the porcelain and food fell on the ground, and the garden was a mess.

Song Qiaoxi picked up Lucky, fearing it would be pierced by the porcelain.

At the same time, Chu Jin grabbed her arm and pulled the girl a few meters back to protect her.

Without understanding what was going on at all, Song Qiaoxi looked at her strange uncle and old man Chu suspiciously.

When she recovered, she found Chu Jin's body trembling slightly, his eyes fixed on the stranger, his hands were clenched into fists, and his fingertips were white.

Elder Chu stood still, put down the book in his hand, raised his eyelids, and said coldly: "I won't give you any more, Chu Chengbai, you are so good at it, the relationship between father and son has long been broken, don't let me see you."

"Oh, I know! But it's okay, I still have the information in my hand. I can’t get the money today, and the weekly magazine will explode tomorrow. It depends on how you will mess around in Beijing. After your mother is gone, you don’t just care about you. Is it a group founded by my mother? Don’t care about family ties at all! When the scandal comes out tomorrow, you don’t want to hold on to Chu’s stock price. If you don’t give me this money, you will only lose more..."Chu Cheng Bai patted the table and was very close to his biological father, almost face to face.

The old man Chu had a calm expression and said with a sneer: "What scandal can I have, my biggest scandal is you! Did you wipe your **** less since you were young? If you have Cheng Min, half worry..."

Chu Chengbai was like crazy, and gritted his teeth to interrupt Mr. Chu, "You **** deserve to be a father too? Are you **** worthy of mentioning my brother? It was you who forced your brother away. If it weren't for you to let your brother and some **** family The young lady is married, how could my brother have a rebellious mentality and fall in love with the country girl from Qizhou!"

"Chu Youhe, you are not worthy to be a father. After my mother is gone, I have only my brother beside me..." Chu Chengbai knelt on the ground, crying, "The country woman hooked Chu Chengmin's soul, otherwise How could he leave Beijing and go to the remote part of Qizhou? You give me my brother..."

Mr. Chu lifted his youngest son's shirt with a hand, and slapped him with a slap in anger, "I will atone for the things I did wrong back then. I will not disturb the lives of Chu Chengmin and his wife in this life. Keep your mouth clean, in the countryside." The woman is your sister-in-law."

In the heart of Old Man Chu, he always felt that the eldest son hated him, and perhaps he would never forgive him or not want to see him for the rest of his life.

He believes that what the eldest son wants is an ordinary life without being disturbed.

Elder Chu's own method of atonement was not to disturb them for the rest of his life.

"You hurry up, get out of the wine, go to other places, I have guests here," Mr. Chu loosened his shirt like throwing trash, took out his phone from his coat pocket, and pressed a few buttons, "Mingzhe, call Come here with the security guard."

Shaking up from the ground, Chu Chengbai glanced at where Song Qiaoxi and Chu Jin stood.

Just that glance made Chu Chengbai stunned.

The boy in front of him looked like his brother when he was young. When his mother passed away, his brother was just this old, always wearing a white shirt to accompany him.

But brother, hasn't he already left?

That night like a nightmare, Chu Chengbai never dreamed that it would end like that.

His mind is no longer clear, and the trance time goes back more than 20 years ago, back to the time when his mother had just passed away, only he and his brother lived in the courtyard and depended on each other.

"Brother...Chu Chengmin? Brother, are you back?" Chu Chengbai almost fell on Chu Jin's legs, hugged his trousers, and muttered to himself, "Brother I'm sorry, brother, I didn't mean it. ...I just don’t like that woman, brother, I didn’t mean it, brother, can you forgive me? Mother is gone, father doesn’t care about us, brother, I beg you, please don’t go, I only have you It's..."

Without waiting for Chu Chengbai to say more, assistant Mingzhe hurriedly arrived with a group of people, and the security personnel quickly took Chu Chengbai away, who was drunk into a puddle of mud.

"I'm sorry, children, I'm shocked you." With Mingzhe's support, Mr. Chu walked to Song Qiaoxi and Chu Jin, his expressions full of apologies, "The children go home first. I will talk to Jianguo and Xiao Qiao. Contact, I'm really sorry today, but the grievances of the adults made you kids look at jokes."

"..." Song Qiaoxi nodded silently, then shook her head, her heart beating very fast.

She has no idea what to say now, and can only try to calm herself down.

Chu Jin’s father’s name was said by her parents several times, called Chu Chengmin, and she finally understood why she felt familiar when she first saw that unfamiliar uncle.

That's Chu Jin's little uncle, his eyebrows and eyes are seven or eighth similar to Chu Jin...

She was recognized by an outsider, how could Chu Jin not recognize it?

The medical staff had already pushed in the wheelchair. At the moment, Mr. Chu seemed to be unable to stand up. He sat in the wheelchair and whispered to the assistant, "Mingzhe, change the elevator access control again. You can do it yourself and prepare some gifts for Song My family apologizes for making the children frightened today... By the way, you can check, what information did you get Chu Chengbai from the weekly magazine?"

"Okay, don't worry, father, I will do it myself." Mingzhe said.

Song Qiaoxi put down Lucky, who was struggling to chase Mr. Chu, and stood behind Chu Jin for a few seconds.

Feeling numb in her hands and feet, she gave a sensation, walked to Chu Jin's side, and gently tugged the corner of his clothes.

The young boy looked pale with no blood, his eyebrows were low, and his eyes were dark.

Song Qiaoxi bit her lip and said softly, "Shall we go home?"
