Insincere

Liang Rui is not an indecisive person, since he knew his own mind, he decided to follow his own heart.

Then he discovered that it turned out that being nice to someone wholeheartedly without calculating... The satisfaction he got was even far better than the previous ten years of chasing after him.

In the past, he was so blinded by the filth that he failed to discover the truly precious things.

He's lucky... he found this out before it was too late.

During that time, Liang Rui felt fulfilled like never before, the emptiness and exhaustion he once felt seemed to disappear all of a sudden, as long as there were young people around, there would be sunshine to dispel the haze in his heart.

It made him feel that even life has a different meaning, and he is no longer just living for the sake of living.

Liang Rui would personally send the boy to school every day and watch him leave. No matter how busy he was at work, he would pick him up from school and eat with him.He will patiently watch the boy do his homework, and listen carefully to his inner troubles... No matter how many trifles there are, as long as he is with the boy, he will not feel bored.This ubiquitous trickle of emotion nourished his dry heart, making him unable to stop at all.

He began to spend more energy and time planning their relationship.

Everything is also under his control.

Although he has no way to make those rumors go away, he can prove the absurdity of those remarks with facts.

He can do it, like it was a long time ago.

Only in the dead of night, when gazing at the young man's face from an extreme distance, wanting to touch it but fearing being discovered, would he occasionally realize that... people's hearts are really insatiable.

He is gradually not satisfied with the so-called loving brotherhood, he wants more.

Although he knew it was impossible.

If you trust the boy who relies on him wholeheartedly, knowing that your beloved brother has such ulterior motives, you will definitely feel disgusted.It's not necessarily even more disgusting to teenagers than being cheated on...

This deformed love that started due to deception and calculation is destined not to have a chance to see the light of day.

Liang Rui understands that he can't break through everything that exists, this is already the limit of what he can have, and one step further, it will be an abyss.So he always and carefully hid his thoughts, drew a line under his feet, and never crossed the line.

He has been able to get to this day, in addition to being rational enough, he also has enough self-knowledge.

He put on a hypocritical cloak like this, and with the care of his so-called elder brother, watched the boy approaching him little by little, feeling the warmth brought by him.

Enjoying things that shouldn't belong to him.

At the age of 27, he is already the youngest vice president of the Jiang Group.He is used to wrapping his indifferent heart with a decent smile, watching others flatter and flatter him. He knows the ugliness of the human heart since he was a child, and his colorful desires outline a grotesque world.

And the boy is the only light in his world.

On his birthday that year, he received so many presents that he could no longer remember what they were.Only the gift box given to him by the boy as a gift, he still remembers the ugly bow tie on it and the pattern on the wrapping paper, because the boy said: "This is the first time I have made money to buy something. A commemorative gift...of course it must be given to my favorite elder brother, you must not dislike it."

Of course Liang Rui would not dislike it, even though it was just a cheap watch, it was the most precious gift he had ever received.

Only later did he know that the pampered Young Master Jiang was earning his own living for the first time just to buy him this birthday present.

He was so happy when he found out, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep for several days, and he would wake up with a smile even in his dreams... Then he thought, it will be the boy's birthday soon, what should he give the boy to express his feelings at that time What about your mind?This is really distressing.

Things that money can buy are too cheap, how could he treat his favorite boy like that.

He thought about it for a long time, and then realized that he was so pathetic that he couldn't even think of a suitable gift...

What he didn't know then was that soon he wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.

Liang Rui thought he was hiding things well, but he didn't realize that in Father Jiang's eyes, he was full of flaws.

He just finished negotiating a business deal that day, and before he had time to pick up the boy home, he was called to Father Jiang's study.

Liang Rui had always respected Father Jiang.

It was this person who took him back when he was dying, gave him a good life, trained him to become a talent, allowed him to gain a foothold in this society, and be reborn with kindness.But besides being grateful to Jiang's father, he is more in awe. The awe is because he was brought out by Jiang's hand in hand, and he knows the horror of the man in front of him. In front of Jiang's father, Liang Rui still felt that he was very small, and he didn't dare to cross the line in the slightest.

No matter in terms of means or ruthlessness, he was far from being able to compare with the man in front of him.

Jiang's father seldom talked with Liang Rui alone like this recently. As Liang Rui grew up and gradually took over the family's business, the two saw each other even less... Although they might not have been very close at first.

Although he called his father in his mouth, in fact, Liang Rui felt that he was a subordinate carefully trained by Jiang's father.

He knew from the very beginning that in Jiang's father's eyes, he was different from the boy.

So when he sat in front of Jiang's father, he felt a little nervous. Some kind of intuition told him that today's conversation might not be easy for him.

Sure enough, he soon got his verdict.

Father Jiang didn't blame him at the beginning, nor did he show any disgust, but just looked at him with indifferent eyes, and said: You should know the reason why I'm looking for you today.

Liang Rui realized something immediately, but he wanted to resist, so he said: I don't know.

Jiang's father was not angry because of this ridiculous stubbornness, he continued to say in a calm tone: "Then let me tell you, I hope you can stay away from Ah Ming."

The blood on Liang Rui's face faded instantly, such straightforwardness made him at a loss.

Father Jiang said: In this world, there is neither hatred for no reason nor love for no reason.When you are only ten years old, you know that you are so kind to a child who may take everything away from you. Of course, it is not because you really love him. You know this best in your heart.But I don't mind, because I know that you have always been obedient and sensible. As a sensible and measured person, even if you play a little cautious for self-protection, it is within the tolerable limit.After all... what I need is not a stupid piece of shit.

But—to lure Ah Ming, this matter has exceeded the bottom line that I can tolerate.

Every word, every word of Jiang's father fell into Liang Rui's ears, and it was as deafening as the ringing of a bell.

Only then did he realize that the cover-up that he thought was perfect had so many loopholes, and the calculation that he thought he was complacent turned out to be a charity from others.And now... the mistakes he made have finally accumulated to an intolerable level.

He thought that there might be such a day... but he didn't expect it to be so fast and so abrupt that he was caught off guard.

What's worse, faced with such an accusation, he couldn't even say a word of rebuttal.

The word "seduce" was like the last incantation of a curse, shattering Liang Rui's self-deception without mercy.

With unbearable intentions, using a hypocritical appearance and deliberately ingratiating, to deceive a young boy who has not experienced much in the world to love and depend on him... In the face of such despicable behavior, any sophistry is so pale.

So much so that Jiang's father's few words made him throw up his helmet and armor, and he was defeated.

Father Jiang was quite satisfied with Liang Rui's self-knowledge. He looked at him deeply, and said in a tone of emotion: "Seeing the relationship between father and son for more than ten years, I can give you another chance. Can I keep your present?" Everything you have depends on how you decide.I think you should know what to do, because you have always been a smart boy.

Liang Rui opened his mouth, he really wanted to fight desperately, but in fact, he just said in a trembling voice: If I suddenly change my attitude, Ah Ming... probably won't understand...

Jiang's father smiled, and looked at him with a clear and clear look: Your words are confusing, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.As long as you are your 'self', Ah Ming can 'understand' everything.

Liang Rui looked at Father Jiang with terrified eyes, his heart was filled with despair and anger, he wanted to fight the case and ask why he couldn't!However, his emotionless gaze towards Father Shangjiang was like a basin of cold water pouring down his head, and he suddenly woke up.

Father Jiang's voice was cold and unwavering, and his eyes were unshakably cruel, and he gave Liang Rui an ultimatum: No matter what your thoughts are, it doesn't matter to me, you just need to You know, this is absolutely intolerable to me.And what I said to you today is not to persuade you, but because you have always been sensible, and sensible people can have a chance to reform themselves.If you were an ignorant person, there would be no conversation at all.Do you understand it?

Liang Rui's hands were tightly clenched, and it took a long while to suppress the trembling of his body: I ​​understand.

Father Jiang nodded in relief: You can go.

Liang Rui didn't know how he left that day. He knew that his love had no foundation and was fragile and precarious.But he didn't expect to be so fragile. Facing Jiang's father's accusations, he could only retreat steadily.

Such a man, what qualifications does he have to be desperate?

With vile thoughts and impure motives, to betray the benefactor who gave him everything?Seduce a boy with a simple and clear mind, and make them turn against each other?Repaying revenge with kindness, selfishly destroying everything in front of him, and dragging his beloved boy into his abyss?And then end with a predictably tragic ending?

No, he can't.

He doesn't even have the qualifications to be desperate.

He would rather swallow the bitter fruit by himself than let the young man accompany him on this path of desperation. His young man should have the right to choose his own happiness.

Father Jiang pointed out a way for him, and in fact, this was his only way.

He just kept hesitating and refused to go on the road, unwilling to face the inevitable result.The self-deceiving person is unwilling to think about the future, but now, he has to make a decision.

In fact, what he has obtained is enough, one must know how to be satisfied.

Liang Rui vaguely remembered the child who stood tremblingly in the hall of Jiang's family waiting to be interviewed. At that time, his purpose was just to eat well and dress warmly. It was that simple.Later, he gradually forgot his original intention, kept wanting more and more, let his desire dominate him, and became a person who even hated himself.

This should stop.

After that day, Liang Rui alienated the young man and stopped spending time with him. He was busy with work all day long and avoided any chance to meet him.He took off the watch that he had never left since he received it, and locked it in the deep drawer.

For a long time, the boy had no chance to see him, and was turned away countless times until he was sent an invitation on his birthday.

Liang Rui stared at it for a long time, then threw the invitation into the trash can.

When he was walking home alone at night, he found that the boy who was supposed to be with his friends was waiting for him at the door. He didn't know how long he had been standing there. In the cold wind, the boy's lips turned purple from the cold. But he always looked at him with a look of expectation and grievance, and there was a stubbornness in his eyes that would never give up.

Liang Rui's heart seemed to be hit by something in an instant, he tried his best not to let himself run over, and hugged the boy into his arms.

As Father Jiang said, he has always been a sensible and rational person.

Therefore, he just watched calmly, and faced the young man's incoherent questioning, he showed a faint smile and gave a natural answer.

He said: No reason, I just don't need to coax you anymore.

He said: You should know that there are only two kinds of people in the world who will treat you well for no reason. One kind of people is your parents, and the other kind of people is people who have other plans for you.When you grow up, you should know how to tell right from wrong. This is the last lesson I will teach you.

He also said: What kind of person am I, in fact, you have heard countless people say it, haven't you?

He finally said: You will believe it in the future.

Then he closed the door, leaving the desperate teenager outside the snowy door.

Across the door, Liang Rui gently covered his eyes with his hands.

He just stood there motionless, for a long, long time, until he heard the sound of the boy's walking away, he didn't leave, as if he had turned into a lifeless statue.

Maybe this is also good, Liang Rui thought.

Deceiving oneself and others will not lead to good results, so let's just leave it like this... Let the young man see clearly what kind of person he is, and let the young man make his own decisions.Regardless of whether he hates him or not, he is willing to suffer the consequences of what he did.

He shouldn't be a selfish person who decides everything, now...he handed over the initiative.

Bet everything, go for a gamble, that chance of survival.

It doesn't matter even if the body is smashed to pieces.
