The doorbell rang three times and then stopped.

Xiao Chongyun didn't put on his shoes, and rushed to the door without opening it.

He stood behind the cold door panel, pretending that he was not at home, hoping that the person behind the door would send a text message and turn away.Any time he could qualify as a sunny and docile younger brother, but not this time.He just dug out the pain in his heart, and when the wound was still bloody, he really couldn't do it.

Xiao Chongyun stood behind the door for a long time, so long that he almost thought that time had stopped, and there was no movement outside the door, so he carefully opened the door a crack, and then opened it boldly.

Zhang Wenshan was still standing outside the door, with his suitcase on his feet and a thermos cup in his hand.

Xiao Chongyun almost lost his footing, took two steps back, bumped into the shoe cabinet, and frowned in pain.Zhang Wenshan quietly watched him covering the place where he was hit, then put away the scattered shoes one by one, explained why he didn't open the door with some excuse, and then stepped in.

He took off the windbreaker and hung it on the coat rack, then put the thermos cup on the desk by the window, and turned to look at his younger brother: "Someone said that you want to drink the black tea at home, and it happens that I am going back to China, so I will give it to you by the way." Here comes a cup. It's cold here in winter, so I brought hot tea. Your winter clothes are in the box, newly made."

Zhang Wenshan unscrewed the thermos, poured the red liquid into the nearest glass, and handed it over: "Here."

Xiao Chongyun didn't take it immediately.

At that moment, his brain was spinning fast, from the brother's test report, to the poisoning reaction, and the process of poisoning, he went through it all.The headquarters of Yashe is in Shanghai, and Zhang Wenshan flew to China from Long Island, how could he "drop in" to France.He came here specially to give himself this cup of hot tea.

Does he know that I know?

I want to let him know, do I know?

Everything was in one thought, and the last thought that flashed was the brother's words.This kind of poison will slowly damage the liver and kidney organs of a person, and accumulate to cause failure. The gentle part is that one sip will not kill you, and the second sip will not.

So he smiled, took the black tea, bowed his head and took a sip: "Thank you brother."

There were several chairs in the room, but Zhang Wenshan didn't sit on them.He just stood there, looking at him with dark eyes, and when Xiao Chongyun bowed his head to drink tea, he said, "Merry Christmas."

Only then did Xiao Chongyun realize that today is Christmas.

In western countries, Christmas should be a festival for family reunion, singing Christmas carols and celebrating together.This is the first time in many years that Zhang Wenshan once again said Merry Christmas to him.The last time was because he was too young, so he couldn't remember the exact year.

At that moment Xiao Chongyun wanted to fight with his back.

He stood for a while, sorting out his thoughts, and then said, "Brother, let's reconcile."

Xiao Zhongyun was holding the glass, and the black tea brought across the ocean was still steaming in it.He just lowered his head, took a sip of tea, swallowed it down, and then raised the empty cup: "Brother, I know you don't like me. If I drink this cup of tea, can we reconcile?"

When Xiao Chongyun said these words, there was almost broken pleading in his voice.This is the first time he has tactfully expressed what happened back then, showing a gesture of concession.Zhang Wenshan could hear the despair in the voice, but he couldn't understand the despair, because he was the one who finally gave up, surrendered, and knelt on the ground.Xiao Chongyun won, he was the winner, sitting in his room, enjoying the hot tea he brought from Long Island, and making conditions to himself, just because of a text message that he didn't even mention.

Standing in front of this person again, he strongly felt those emotions that were suppressed, extinguished, ignored and obliterated by him, almost uncontrollable.

However, not all concessions have to be shown with great fanfare. Zhang Wenshan asked, "What do you want?"

"I don't want the property of the Xiao family, I just want to settle down."

"anything else?"

"If one day my father dies, I ask that I be able to take my mother away safely. No one, whether it is you or the forces of the Zhang family, will harm her."

Xiao Chongyun is hinting euphemistically that he knows his relationship with Zhang Yijiao, at least he has noticed some clues.It was a negotiation, and Zhang Wenshan pretended to be in the upper hand: "You are begging me, what can you give me?"

"My inheritance."

He wanted to say something, but it was too late.He was suddenly pushed against the wall, his back hit a solid wall, and the back of his head slammed.The pain covered up other senses, and the hangover last night made the body's reaction slow, so it took Xiao Chongyun a few seconds to see Zhang Wenshan's eyes that were close at hand.Zhang Wenshan's eyes seemed to be dark at night, and he couldn't see any light or joy, and there was even some kind of self-loathing and self-hatred.He slowly leaned down, his lips were almost touching Xiao Chongyun's ear, and his breath fell on his face: "For your condition, I have to abandon my beliefs, sever ties with my mother's blood relatives, and even give up huge wealth—and you Sell ​​an inheritance that doesn't belong to you?"

He said word for word: "You know what I want."

Xiao Chongyun was silent.

"I love your brother, I miss your brother, look at what you have said to me?" At that moment, all of Zhang Wenshan's lines and bottom lines collapsed. He dug out a heart, naked and bloody, and forced The person in front of you looks, "I miss you too."

It was a long silence, until the end of the silence, Xiao Chongyun understood the meaning of the words.

Possession and desire, this is his entire interpretation of the man in front of him.Such an interpretation was even far from what he had expected, and even made him feel terrified.Breaking the silence, the vibrating cell phone rang three times in the pocket of his trousers.This SMS ringtone was specially set by him for an important friend.

It's a text message from an American brother.

After the last test report came out, he was more concerned and called the trusted maid at home to find a way to deliver a copy of his mother's morning tea.The reason was poorly thought out, but the tea was delivered in a twists and turns.He also gave the black tea to Evan White, and the current text message should be the test result.

Xiao Chongyun reluctantly took out his mobile phone and explained to Zhang Wenshan: "It's about the laboratory."

In the next second, it was as if ice water was pouring down on the head, and the content of the text message could be scanned at a glance.In my mother's morning tea, the same substance as in red wine was detected.If the dosage is very small, the cumulative effect will appear only after long-term use, and when it is discovered, it will be too late.

Zhang Wenshan, he really, can be ruthless.

Originally, Xiao Chongyun thought that this matter was first aimed at the right of inheritance. As long as he went back to school and was far away across the ocean, his mother would be safe.After all, there are so many hidden threads around her, so many bodyguards, but Zhang Wenshan's power is deeply rooted in this family, there must be someone he can bribe.

He didn't drink that glass of red wine, but my mother drank morning tea every day.

That kind of chill, almost freezing to the deepest part of the bone marrow, shattered his last fantasy and the retreat platform.Presumably the expression on his face at that moment was despair, so Zhang Wenshan said, almost to comfort him: "There is indeed a great conflict between us, but I have never been against your mother."

Liar, the liar.

"Don't worry too much."

Total liar.

No matter how weak and pure an animal is, if it is driven to a desperate situation, it will be hit on the back, revealing its ferocious and ferocious side.Although this kind of viciousness and ferocity from the weak is often like a bird blowing its feathers, it has no effect, but Xiao Chongyun is not a weak person.At that moment, his heart was as still as water.

After all, it is an exam, when you know all the correct answers and scoring criteria, the tension and fear in the exam room will disappear without a trace.Or when you have fully accepted the worst outcome, it is easy to break the pot and fall.
