Far Eastern Stars

Chapter 20 Returning

The sea voyage is indeed boring, but for Liu Yunchen, he doesn't find it difficult.

During the day he can enjoy the wind on the deck, and at night he can sit on the observation deck and watch the stars with military binoculars.

"It's Orion." Corey pointed to him, "next to it is Gemini."

"It's very beautiful to see the stars here." Liu Yunchen stretched his sore neck, "You can't see it in the imperial capital. There is often smog here, and the neon lights will also make the stars dim."

"You can also watch the stars in the snow field." Ke Lei said "casually", "It's like the snow peak I visited last time." After a pause, he added, "If you like——"

"Chen! Boss!" Ares stretched out his arms cheerfully on the deck, "Come down quickly, Ina has made a new cocktail."

Ke Lei was aloof, staring at him blankly, wanting to stuff him into the trash can.

Liu Yunchen smiled and pulled him to stand up, and went to the mini reception together.

The further north you sail, the clearer the weather.Finally, in the early morning of a certain day, the pier, cooking smoke, and neatly arranged fleet appeared in the distance.

"We've arrived at Cherry Harbor!" Ares cheered after throwing away the binoculars.

The team members clapped hands to celebrate, Ke Lei smiled and caught the boy who was rushing towards him, hugged him in a circle and said, "We can go home now." The boss and Chen looked like they were making a movie. "Ina bit her lower lip full of girlishness.

"The imperial capital." Natasha leaned on the fence and said to herself, "After we help Liuyun Zeyu solve his troubles, we may be invited to the manor to experience what the most extravagant dinner in the entire empire is like."

"I'm not interested." Yi Na's smile faded, and she entered the kitchen alone.

"You have to get used to it, she is so moody." Ares put his arms around Natasha's shoulders, "especially when it comes to the Liuyun family, except of course, cutie."

Did someone from the Liuyun family provoke her? Natasha was a little confused.

The ship moored steadily and entered the port, and changed to the green leather train in the small town, and the speed of everyone moving forward was much faster.A month later, the siren blared and drove into the station.Liu Yunchen looked out through the glass window, the people on the platform who came to pick up their relatives and friends were waving enthusiastically, and the peddlers were walking around selling melon seeds and soda with baskets, everything was the same as when they first left the imperial capital.

"What are you looking at?" Corley asked him.

"Landscape." Liu Yunchen replied.

A man in a black tuxedo suit appeared on the platform. His hair was a little gray, and he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses that covered his gray eyes. With an incompatible aura, he is the butler of the Liuyun family.

"I'm here to pick you up." Ke Lei asked, "Do you still need me to take you home?"

"It's okay, I can go back alone." Liu Yunchen said, "The military department should still have a lot of things waiting for you."

"Okay, I will live in the military headquarters building and come to see you when I have time." Ke Lei helped him take off the suitcase and said, "Also, if you encounter any trouble, you can come to me."

Liu Yunchen smiled and hugged him: "Everything is going well.

"You too." Ke Lei's voice was very soft, and he lowered his head and kissed his forehead hair.

Liu Yunchen was slightly surprised, but the two were quickly dispersed by the crowd who were anxious to get off the car.

Seeing this, the housekeeper immediately greeted him and took the suitcase into his hand: "Master."

"Thank you." Liu Yunchen tidied up the straps of his schoolbag, and when he looked back, he couldn't find where Ke Lei was.

"Your Excellency, General, you should go to the military headquarters first." The housekeeper asked, "Do you want to wait for him?"

"No need." Liu Yunchen shook his head, "Let's go."

"Everyone is waiting for you to go home." The butler opened the car door for him. "And there are several newspapers who wanted to interview you, but they were all blocked. You can deal with these things later."

"I just want to have a good sleep." Liu Yunchen reached into his trouser pocket with his right hand and stroked a meteorite.

The car slowly approached the family's manor, and two people standing side by side at the door could be seen from a distance.

"Is that father and brother?" Liu Yunchen asked with some uncertainty.

"Yes." The housekeeper said, "To welcome you home."

After the car came to a complete stop, Liu Yun Zeyu leaned on a cane and walked forward with a smile.

"Father." Liu Yunchen stood on the lawn with his schoolbag in his arms and shouted, "Brother."

Liu Yunji took the schoolbag from him: "Is the journey going well?"

"Very good." Liu Yunchen replied, "The train changed its route and even passed a small desert."

"If you like the desert, we can go to Tucker next fall."

Liuyun Zeyu smiled and said, "But now you really need a good rest."

There were no outsiders at the dinner party, only Liuyun Zeyu and Liuyunji.The other young masters of the family have other things to deal with, and most of the time they are not in the manor.The dinner table was very quiet, Liu Yunchen cut the steak with a knife and fork, and fed it into his mouth calmly.

The atmosphere seemed a bit awkward, Liu Yunji was having a headache, he was always a man of few words, so he didn't know what to say to enliven the meal.Although the two brothers grew up in the same manor, he has always cared little about his younger brother, sometimes even forgetting his existence.And when the family encountered a financial crisis this time, no one in the manor would have thought in advance that Liu Yunchen would take the property left by his mother and run to the Manning Casino alone, and even with the famous Ke Lei The general made a deal and went to the Attis sea area together.

"You like oranges very much?" Liu Yun Zeyu called the waiter to replace the empty fruit plate in front of him.

"There are also a lot of oranges on the island, but they are very sour." Liu Yunchen recalled, "Sweet oranges are delicious." Artis sea area is a restricted area, I never thought that you would be willing to explore for the sake of your family. "Liu Yunzeyu reached out and helped him wipe off a little juice on his cheek, "Thank you for everything you have done. "

"I just want to try my luck." Liu Yunchen said, "So now, can the crisis of the family be resolved?"

"Not yet, but with the help of Ke Lei and Thornton, we can solve all the problems within three months and get everything back on track." Liu Yunji also put his own fruit plate in front of him, " Do you want to join? I mean to participate in the family business, you can start with the investment bank." For any young master of the Liuyun family, this is a dream opportunity.

Liu Yunchen shook his head and said, "I want to finish college first."

"The steward has notified the university principal a week ago that you can go back and continue your studies at any time."

Liu Yunzeyu said, "Of course, you can rest at home for a month first, don't worry."

"Thank you." Liu Yunchen wiped his mouth with a napkin with a smile, "I choose to be lazy for a month, don't worry."

After dinner, Liu Yunchen returned to his bedroom, everything inside was the same as when he left, even the second hand of the cuckoo clock didn't stop.After taking a shower, Liu Yunchen was lying on the big soft bed in his pajamas, and he fell into heaven.

"Master." At ten o'clock sharp, the housekeeper knocked lightly on the door, "You should have a rest." "Okay!" Liu Yunchen reached out to turn off the desk lamp, and stuffed himself into the quilt—this is the old manor's According to the ancient rules, even if the whole family is saved, they must sleep and eat on time, there is no room for negotiation at all.

But it turns out that even rules can be broken once in a while.At least in the early morning of the second day, there was no housekeeper who rang the silver bell beside the bed, allowing him to sleep until twelve o'clock at noon before waking up naturally.

In the garden, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. Liu Yunchen was sitting on the recliner, eating a sandwich while thinking about whether to sneak to the military headquarters to see Ke Lei.

"Can you come in?" Liuyun Zeyu knocked on the glass door of the garden and asked politely.

"Father." Liu Yunchen stood up and ran forward to help him open the door, "I thought you went to the financial center" I just finished a meeting. "Liu Yun Zeyu held a box, "At the end, I met General Ke Lei, this is his gift to you. "

"Thank you." Liu Yunchen was a little surprised. After opening it, he found it was a cute little dessert.

"Can we chat for a while?" Liuyun Zeyu asked.

"Of course." Liu Yunchen helped him open the chair, "Is General Ke Lei okay? I mean the case about the Sixth Ocean Army."

"He has obtained enough evidence, and all the newspaper headlines today are about this matter." Liu Yunzeyu said, "Even if the people in the military want to continue to conceal it, the public will not agree.

The political risk is too great, and Mr. President should know exactly what choice he should make. "

"So this matter is coming to an end, all wronged soldiers will be cleared of their charges, and the government will compensate them accordingly, right?" Liu Yunchen confirmed again.

Liu Yunzeyu nodded, then smiled, "You seem to care more about General Ke Lei than the fate of the family."

Liu Yunchen: "..."

"Everything is going well." Liuyun Zeyu patted him on the shoulder, "Whether it is the Sixth Ocean Army, General Ke Lei, or the future of the Liuyun family, you don't have to worry anymore, huh?"

"That's good." Liu Yunchen breathed a sigh of relief.

"In addition, General Ke Lei also told me some things." Liu Yunzeyu said, "Maybe I should confess to you some secrets about your mother."

Liu Yunchen tensed up instantly.

"That meteorite is a gift from her." Liuyun Zeyu asked his servant to make a pot of tea from the East, and poured him a small cup. "She is a different kind of mermaid." There is no rumor at all. Cold and cruel, but fiery and charming.

"Is it really a mermaid?" Liu Yunchen hugged the teacup. Although he had guessed it a long time ago, he was still a little shocked to hear his father's confirmation.

"Of course, no one knew about it at the very beginning. The first time I met your mother was at the Royal Nightclub in the Imperial Capital." Liu Yun Zeyu said, "She worked there."

Although this passage is very euphemistic, but you can also guess the specific content of the so-called work, Liu Yunchen did not speak.

"Then I brought her home, with you." In order to take care of his son's emotions, Liu Yunzeyu described it very simply.In fact, the scandal back then was far from being understated. As soon as the news came out, it exploded like a virus. The sales of tabloids soared all the way. Almost everyone wanted to figure out why a courtesan actually caught the first Consortium decision makers?

"One thing I'm sorry for is that I really didn't give your mother and you enough care, whether as a husband or a father." Liu Yunzeyu sighed, if it wasn't because of having a child, he wouldn't have treated her as a child at all. Take it home.But at the time, public opinion was almost one-sided. Under that situation, if the mother and son were not accepted, the reputation of the entire family would be affected, and perhaps it would be used as a trick by competitors.So after careful consideration, he still chose to accept it all.

At that time, Liuyun Zeyu's wife, the most honorable eldest princess of Donghuang Kingdom, also kept silent about this. She refused to accept any interviews. The media gradually lost interest, and this matter naturally faded out of public view.Not long after, an economic crisis swept across the entire empire, and the pressure of unemployment left the public with no time to pay attention to gossip. Few people knew that there was another young master in the manor.

"I don't have much impression of my mother." Liu Yunchen felt a little regretful, but only remembered that her embrace was a little cold, but soft, and her voice was beautiful, like the sounds of heaven.

"Her health has always been bad, and I didn't know the reason until the end." Liuyun Zeyu said, "The mermaid is not suitable for living on the shore, she needs sea water and fresh air, and there is too much smog here and industrial waste."

Liu Yunchen was silent.

"Your mother's personality is very peculiar and very individual." Liuyun Zeyu said, "She doesn't seem to have any special feelings for anyone, except of course you. When she left, she once said that she would like to live with you." The only reason to enter the manor and endure all this, she loves you very much."

"Can I go to the cemetery to have a look?" Liu Yunchen's voice was hoarse.

"This is what I want to confess to you." Liuyun Zeyu said, "Your mother didn't die of illness, she was just in poor health, so when you chose to leave when you were six years old, it should have returned to the sea. The funeral was her request."

Liu Yunchen suddenly opened his eyes wide, a string broke in his mind.

"Before leaving, she confessed her identity to me, left behind this meteorite, and said that she hoped you could live a normal life." Liu Yunzeyu said, "But she didn't say where she was going."

Liu Yunchen was rather happy: "So, is my mother really still alive?"

"Mermaids have a long lifespan." Liu Yunzeyu said, "But if you want to find her, I have to remind you that it's not a good idea."

"Yeah." Liu Yunchen took the meteorite out of his trouser pocket, looked down, "I won't be impulsive."

"Maybe one day, your mother will come back to see you." Liuyun Zeyu straightened his collar for him, "As I said just now, she has always loved you very much."

Liu Yunchen nodded and said, "Thank you."

"About the family business, do you really not want to intervene?" Liu Yunzeyu asked again, "Although your brother is not good at words and doesn't know how to express his feelings, he really appreciates you this time and is ready It’s a gift for you.” After finishing speaking, he added, “Of course, I will teach you what to do until you can make decisions on your own. General Corey said you are very smart, so You don’t have to worry about being incompetent at all.”

"I... think about it." Liu Yunchen nodded.

The butler knocked on the door and said that the reserved guests were already waiting in the living room for the acquisition of the canal.

"Want to call together?" Liuyun Zeyu asked.

Liu Yunchen shook his head: "I want to sit in the garden for a while."

"Alright." Liuyun Zeyu didn't force him.

After watching his father leave, Liu Yunchen went to the reading room by himself and found a stack of today's newspapers.Sure enough, whether it's military or entertainment, the headlines are all about the unjust case of the Ocean Sixth Army, and even the Women's Friends edition followed suit.

If this trend continues, the military should not last long.Liu Yunchen threw the newspaper aside, and decided not to go to General Ke Lei for the time being—to avoid being photographed by reporters, which might cause unnecessary trouble.
