The patron is sick

In the VIP room.

The three cups of hot tea were steaming, and the steaming fragrance of the tea could not match the frost in this room.

Zhu Qingxiang burst into tears, took out a napkin to wipe his tears from time to time, and murmured incoherently: "Ye'er, why did you come here all of a sudden? Why didn't you tell Dad when your leg recovered? Dad was so worried that you knew..."

Zhu Ye picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put the teacup back gracefully, keeping his face expressionless.There was a slight sound from the rubbing of the porcelain, which made the old man Zhu's choking sound less abrupt.

"It's such a big deal at home, I should come and take a look." He said lightly.

"Yes, yes, it's good to have a look." Zhu Qingxiang calmed down a little, called his assistant over, and said that he would temporarily change the ceremony arrangement, arrange for Zhu Ye to stand beside him during the ribbon cutting, and add a seat on the rostrum.

"You came from the capital alone?" Zhu Yu asked incredulously during the interval between Zhu Qingxiang's confession, "Your grandfather is worried about you going out alone, and is he willing to let you come back?"

"I'm an adult now." Zhu Ye simply emphasized that he didn't want to argue with his half-brother.

Zhu Yu's eyes moved from the opponent's face to his legs, and continued to find fault: "Your legs are alright?"

"Didn't you just see it?" Zhu Ye said.

"Oh, the legs are fine," Zhu Yu raised his voice at the end, which was a sign that he was looking for trouble, and the next question was: "What about the brain?"

Zhu Ye squeezed the teacup tightly, his knuckles turned white.The exquisite porcelain was as thin as paper, almost crushed by him.

"Yu'er!" Zhu Qingxiang stopped Zhu Yu's provocation, and tried to smooth things over powerlessly: "Hey, how old are you two, why are you still like children, making noise when you meet."

"Dad thought it was a child's noise?" Zhu Ye's emotions were aroused a little, a gap appeared in the indestructible mask, and the hatred that had been fermented for many years was revealed, but it was finally restrained by his upbringing, and it did not burst out. out.

Zhu Qingxiang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, got up first, calmed down and said: "Today is a big day, we can't leave the guests alone, you two come out with me to welcome the guests."

He put his arms around Zhu Ye's shoulder guiltily and said, "Ye'er, you haven't been back for ten years, you must be unfamiliar. Dad will show you friends in Bencheng today."

"Dad!" Zhu Yu was startled to feel that he had been left out, stomped his feet anxiously, and said indiscriminately: "You take him to see the guests, what if he gets sick again on the spot?"

"Enough!" Zhu Qingxiang roared unbearably, and almost lifted the roof of the newly completed building.

Zhu Yu was the best, he hadn't seen his own father get angry for many years, so he kept quiet on the spot, his legs went limp in fright.

The three of them came out of the VIP room without a word, and walked to the ceremony site.

What they didn't know was that even the door couldn't hide the chairman's roar, and rumors spread rapidly.

"Do you know? Boss Zhu still has a second son?"

"real or fake?"

"I don't believe it. If he has other children, I hope the fool will not be so arrogant. Isn't it just bullying his father that he has no other successors to choose from?"

"Of course it is true, I took it in just now!"

"I have been in Zhu's for more than ten years, so I know about it. But I remember that the second son is disabled, needs a wheelchair, and never goes out."

"I saw that man today, he's doing well, and he's a little handsome."

"Hey, he didn't say he was born with a disability, maybe he got cured later."

"I heard that it was because of a bad brain. When I got sick, I jumped off the roof and broke my waist."

"I wish the idiot's good life is over. I didn't expect his younger brother to be a cripple and a lunatic. So it seems that we are destined to be led by a idiot in the future?"

"Not necessarily, not necessarily."

"Why not? Zhu Yu is the eldest son, even if he doesn't go on the road, at least he is neither disabled nor crazy."

"It's true that he is the eldest son, but he is not a direct descendant. The real descendant is the second son."

"Ah? How can the child born to the concubine be older than the son of the main house? Boss Zhu is too careless, isn't he?"

"Just listen to the secrets of the wealthy family, who knows if it's true or not."

"I know! The current wife has been a junior for many years, and she died first. Princess Zhuo also fell ill after she entered the door. When the second son had another accident, she was taken to the capital by my grandfather, so now there is no one to say congratulations." Mr. Zhu’s ex-wife’s room. I heard that Mr. Zhu’s father-in-law has not allowed him to visit the children these years, and vowed to cut off all contact with Zhu’s family.”

"No wonder! I heard that the original wife's family had a great business in the capital. Boss Zhu is able to rely on his wife to achieve today. Since the new wife came in, Zhu's business in the capital has been shrinking year by year, and now he can only live in a quiet corner of the city. Year after year is not as good as year after year. It turned out that it was because I offended my father-in-law!"

"So the second young master's life is hard, his mother will die first and then his sister, and he will be crazy and disabled."

"You know what! What's wrong with him! Even if he's paralyzed on the bed all his life, he's living a better life than us. Look how big Zhu's stall is? And his grandpa's stall is even bigger than this! Then It's your turn to sympathize!"

……

The huge crowd at the scene did not make Zhu Ye flinch and feel uncomfortable, which made Zhu Yu very disappointed.

Zhu Ye looked normal, standing quietly beside Zhu Qingxiang, with a decent smile on his face, and greeted various uncles. He was very different from the schizophrenic who was not good at speech, sensitive and fragile in memory, and could almost be called It is exquisite in all directions.What's more, Zhu Qingxiang was kindly taking care of him by the side, holding his shoulders from time to time, for fear that others would not know how much he loved this sickly little son.

"This is?" A middle-aged man held Zhu Qingxiang's hand, staring at Zhu Ye curiously and asked.

Zhu Qingxiang happily introduced: "This is my youngest son, Zhu Ye!"

"Oh! So it's the second son! I haven't seen him for many years, so I don't even recognize him!" The visitor let go of Zhu Qingxiang's hand, and stretched it out to Zhu Ye.

Zhu Ye held it obediently and said, "Hello, Uncle Liu."

"Oh! This kid still remembers me!" Liu Zhenhua was so grateful that he held Zhu Ye's slender palm with both hands: "I heard that you have been in the capital all these years? I wonder if you can adapt to the weather there?"

"No problem," Zhu Ye continued his raging enthusiasm, and said, "If Uncle Liu is on a business trip to the capital, I can introduce you to delicious and fun places."

"Okay, okay! I'll stop by to visit your grandfather's house." Liu Zhenhua finally got to the point.Laymen watch the excitement, but they are smart people who know the way inside.

The reason why the Second Young Master is more precious than the First Young Master is that he is not compatible with a concubine, whether he is a lunatic or a cripple, because he is the master who covers the sky with one hand in the capital, not to mention that he is the only blood of Master Zhuo now.

Zhuo Yuanhang has only one daughter under his knees. Back then, Princess Zhuo did not hesitate to disobey her parents' wishes and married the little-known Zhu Qingxiang, which caused a sensation in the celebrity circle of the entire Bincheng.Anyone who remembers Zhuo Yinong's glory days would want to have a close relationship with Zhu Ye.

"Okay." Zhu Ye responded knowingly. He didn't know if it was polite, but he even said: "Grandpa is very hospitable. These years, I often feel that the house is deserted. Uncle Liu is definitely welcome to visit."

Liu Zhenhua was almost in a state of ecstasy, and wished he could confirm the date of his visit to Beijing right now, forcing Zhu Ye to agree.But Zhu Ye is the protagonist of today's well-deserved name, and in a blink of an eye he was robbed of his speech by others, and the boy group bouncing around on the stage couldn't steal his brilliance.

Zhu Yu, who had been ignored all the way, was so angry that his face was livid, he smashed his teeth and swallowed.

"Ye'er, when are you coming back to the capital this time?" Zhu Qingxiang asked.

"Leave tomorrow." Zhu Ye replied quickly.

"This..." Zhu Qingxiang seemed to have been slapped in the head, and he was very reluctant to persuade him to stay: "It's rare to come back, why don't you stay for a few more days."

Zhu Ye only said: "Grandpa will be worried if you go out for too long."

The fear of being dominated by the father-in-law crept into his heart, Zhu Qingxiang could only sigh helplessly, and silently accepted his arrangement.

It's not that he doesn't have love for Zhuo Yinong, it's just that he can't let go of the white moonlight in his heart, so he pleases both sides, and makes a good marriage a mess.Until his wife died of depression, his eldest daughter died of a sudden illness, and his son hadn't seen each other for ten years, it was impossible to say that he didn't regret or feel ashamed.

It's just that the matter has come to this point, Zhu Qingxiang has no way to explain his atonement, and since then he has been forced to walk around the old man's sphere of influence. There is no other good way except not to think about it or remember it.

Anyway, he has been like this all his life, being confused between two women all his life.Even if Bai Yueguang had become a grain of rice sticking to the corner of the dining table overnight, and gave birth to a prodigal son, turning him into a nightmare and shackles in this life, he was powerless to break free.

"It's fine to go back, it's fine to go back." Zhu Qingxiang said softly, "You can also come to the reception tonight and spend more time with Dad."

"I won't go," Zhu Ye said, "I have a bad waist, so I can't be tired. Besides, when I come back this time, I just want to visit my mother's grave."

"Heh, isn't it tiring to go to the grave?" Zhu Yu finally found a chance to choke: "If you go to the tomb at night, you won't be afraid of being caught by ghosts."

Surrounded by business friends, Zhu Qingxiang didn't yell at him this time, but gave him a hard look.

"You want me to go?" Zhu Ye replied unceremoniously.

He always looks weak and humble, and only when facing his elder brother who has been mistreated since childhood, will he show a frightening edge.

Zhu Yu was at a loss for words, of course he didn't want Zhu Ye to steal his limelight.

At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Zhu Ye's performance was also impeccable.The spotlight flashed endlessly on the three of Zhu's father and son. Zhu Ye seemed to be a born nobleman, and he was even more calm when facing the media than Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu could imagine that the second young master Zhu, who turned out to be born out of nowhere, would grab the headlines of all the media in Bincheng tomorrow.

Zhu Ye said that he came and went in a hurry only to visit the grave, only ghosts would believe it!Why choose today for grave sweeping?I also specially came to the scene to show off my might!

"Zhu Ye!" After the smokeless firecrackers went off, Zhu Yu called out to him amidst the colorful papers flying all over the sky.

Zhu Ye turned to look at him, his cold eyes seemed to ask, "What's the matter?"

Zhu Yu saw that his father was busy with socializing and didn't have time to talk to him, so he rushed to his side and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you disturbing the scene today? You already have the Zhuo family, why did you come back and grab food from me?" ?”

"I said," Zhu Ye looked at him innocently, "Sweeping the grave."

"Why did you choose today for the grave sweeping!" Zhu Yu was so angry that he wanted to pinch his pale and slender neck, "It's neither Ching Ming nor Ghost Festival, nor is it your mother's death day!"

"Don't you think it's her death day?" Zhu Ye is now very good at using rhetorical questions, and every sentence is hard to swallow.His micro-expression fluttered his eyelashes, and a little pink confetti just stuck to it, which made his handsome face even more charming, and that bit of morbid femininity added to his color.

He felt that it wasn't close enough, so he took the initiative to stick it to Zhu Yu's ear, and said darkly, "But I think it's today."

The spotlight was flashing and this scene was captured.It looks like the Zhu brothers have a good relationship.

Zhu Yu remembered that Zhuo Yinong's car accident was indeed in spring.In the next few months of her vegetative life, she never had the chance to open her eyes again.

So Zhu Ye felt that it was today, which was not wrong.

The day when Zhuo Yinong had an accident in the past became the auspicious day for Zhu's unveiling, how ironic.

At that moment, Zhu Yu was cold from head to toe.He was almost certain that Zhu Ye came back to seek revenge.
