small beast

Chapter 62

Zhao Xiaobao's hand returned to its original peak condition after a week of training, and he quickly finished recording the record in the next two weeks.After being handed over to several judges and teachers who had met and visited before, the publicity and promotion work started smoothly.

On the eve of the release of the debut record, promotional efforts were in full swing.Zhao Xiaobao's work has gradually become busy.The company arranged a broker and driver for Zhao Xiaobao, and Zhao Xin was no longer responsible for Zhao Xiaobao's pick-up work.Along with this busyness, Zhao Xiaobao spent many more days outside than at home.

Zhao Xin's sleep quality is getting worse and worse.He would sit up sensitively at the slightest sound outside the door.Then he will be disappointed to find out that it's just someone's stray cat passing by.

This kind of life made Zhao Xin very aggrieved.But remembering the agreement with Zhao Xiaobao, he could only stick to it.There is no other way to make Zhao Xiaobao forgive him, he only hopes that his persistence can make Zhao Xiaobao abandon the past, reconcile with him, and return to the way it was in the past.

The days of waiting were so sad that Zhao Xin could hardly bear it.But no matter how he tried to please Zhao Xiaobao, the relationship between the two never progressed.Sometimes, he even felt that Zhao Xiaobao was deliberately messing with him, using this way to retaliate for what he had done before.

But now he has abandoned everything in the country, he only needs to keep his children by his side.He never paid any attention to Wen Hengyuan's affairs, whether it was the disaster of the Wen family in China, or Wen Hengyuan's prosecution for falsifying his age.Because Wen Hengyuan left the country privately, his probation was cancelled, and he is now undergoing legal procedures, and it is estimated that his sentence will be executed early.

Before going in, Wen Hengyuan took the initiative to contact Zhao Xin.Using the Zhao family's reputation to force him, threatened Zhao Xin that if he didn't help him, he would reveal the old lady Zhao's participation.

Zhao Xin once attached great importance to the Zhao family's reputation.When he works in the country, everything involves reputation.Therefore, he does not want to reveal his desire for Zhao Xiaobao, nor does he want Zhao Xiaobao to reveal the past.The reputation of the Zhao family is not good, and the future is not good for him.More importantly, he did not want the deceased to be ashamed.When he died in the future and entered the Zhao family's ancestral grave, he didn't know how to face his elders.

But now, listening to Wen Hengyuan's threat, Zhao Xin shrugged indifferently, "You can do whatever you want. If you think it's beneficial to you, I won't help you again."

"What did you say?" Wen Hengyuan asked hoarsely.He has been detained now, and it takes a lawyer to clear up the relationship to make a phone call.Wen Hengyuan refused to believe it, he didn't believe that Zhao Xin would not care about the Zhao family's reputation.He also didn't believe that Zhao Xin would refuse his request.He was going to be ruined, his whole life, his entire career was about to be wiped out, and now he had to get Zhao Xin's help.Except for Zhao Xin, no one else could help him.

Sitting opposite Wen Hengyuan's lawyer, he shook his head helplessly.At Wen Hengyuan's request, he had contacted Zhao Xin several times before but failed.He even went abroad to find Zhao Xin for help.But when he found Zhao Xin's residence, he only saw a man wearing an apron cooking in the kitchen.

There was a young man practicing piano in the living room. The lawyer knew him and knew it was Zhao Xiaobao.After Zhao Xin opened the door, Zhao Xiaobao glanced at the lawyer standing at the door, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Did you come to the door? Sorry, he called you a few days ago, but I hung up. "

Zhao Xiaobao said this to Zhao Xin, but he didn't mean to apologize at all.

Zhao Xin didn't even let the lawyer in, and sent the lawyer away at the door.In the next few days, the lawyer kept wandering around here, hoping to convey Wen Hengyuan's intentions to Zhao Xin, but he never got the chance, and finally had to return to China.

This call was Wen Hengyuan's last straw after he went in. He almost made the call with the determination to succeed or succeed.Unable to hear Zhao Xin's answer, he yelled into the phone, "You are crossing the river and tearing down the bridge! Why didn't you stop me when the elders of your Zhao family left me to do such a thing? You said it later You handle it, and the result of your handling is to send me to prison! Zhao Xin, do you have a conscience?"

conscience?Zhao Xin sneered.Whoever has no conscience will understand.

Without saying anything, Zhao Xin hung up Wen Hengyuan's call.

After hanging up, he saw Zhao Xiaobao who came to the balcony.Zhao Xiaobao's dark eyes were particularly bright in the dark night.He glanced at Zhao Xin, turned around and went back to the bedroom without saying a word.

After this phone call, Zhao Xiaobao never returned home.Every time Zhao Xin called, Zhao Xiaobao's assistant or agent would help to answer him, and he would often answer him saying that he was preparing for the premiere, participating in a commercial performance, or dealing with the affairs of the foundation.

Zhao Xin has been waiting for Zhao Xiaobao to call him back.Because of Zhao Xiaobao's public status, Zhao Xin was asked by Zhao Xiaobao not to participate in any activities related to him.Zhao Xin originally refused to agree, but this was the only request Zhao Xiaobao made to him during this period, Zhao Xin agreed after a little struggle.

But he didn't expect that this was a trick played by Zhao Xiaobao.Now Zhao Xiaobao is so busy that he doesn't even have time to go home, he is everywhere preparing for concerts, distribution activities, public welfare activities and so on.Zhao Xin was not allowed to participate in any of these activities.He couldn't even attend quietly.

Once he does this, it is a violation of the agreement.

Zhao Xin is now walking on eggshells.Be cautious at every step.

At the celebration banquet one month after the album was released, Zhao Xiaobao connected Zhao Xin's phone for the first time.Not for anything else, just because today is Zhao Xin's birthday.Zhao Xin, who has been anxious for days, has already forgotten his birthday.Thanks to Zhao Xiaobao's reminder, Zhao Xin remembered, and asked Zhao Xiaobao in a pleading tone, "Xiaobao, are you coming back tonight?"

Looking at the lively banquet, Zhao Xiaobao withdrew again, and replied, "It's too late, maybe I won't go back."

After Zhao Xin heard this, his face darkened.He seems to have missed such an opportunity that might allow the father and son to resolve it.

Tan Jin walked towards Zhao Xiaobao with a wine glass, Zhao Xiaobao hung up the phone casually, picked up the wine handed over by the waiter, and thanked Tan Jin, "Thank you Mr. Tan for your support, otherwise I would not have been able to go so smoothly during this time."

From the release of the record, to the premiere, commercial performances, and the launch of the foundation, Tan Jin always stood by Zhao Xiaobao's side on every stage.Always elegant and calm Tan Jin, as long as he is there, things always go smoothly unexpectedly.Even if there was a small episode during the period, it would be quickly resolved by Tan Jin.Such talks made Zhao Xiaobao very stressed.The last thing Zhao Xiaobao wants to have now is dependence.

I worry that if I accidentally indulge in this dependence, it will be like the previous time.

Tan Jin took the wine glass from Zhao Xiaobao's hand, and brought a glass of warm milk from the plate.When he saw Zhao Xiaobao going to the bathroom just now, he specially asked Zhao Xiaobao to come, worrying that Zhao Xiaobao would not be able to withstand the ravages of alcohol.

In fact, for a banquet like today, Tan Jin generally does not let the company arrange for Zhao Xiaobao to attend.But today is Zhao Xiaobao's own celebration banquet, and Tan Jin can't protect him.

Zhao Xiaobao took the milk from Tan Jin's hand, and suddenly remembered the first time he met Tan Jin.He put one hand into his pocket, and said with a smile, "I made you laugh that time. But this time I still don't have a tissue." He still picked up the glass and drank the milk in one gulp. When he lowered his head and put the empty cup on the plate, he stretched out a hand towards him.

The hand holding the paper towel avoids Zhao Xiaobao's reaching hand, and goes forward to wipe off the milk stains on the corner of his mouth.Zhao Xiaobao was stunned for a few seconds, then looked up to see Tan Jin's shining eyes, with a gentle smile in his eyes, which made Zhao Xiaobao indulge for a moment.

Fortunately, the arrival of the notification tone of the text message broke the embarrassment. Zhao Xiaobao lowered his head and turned on the phone, flipping through the text message sent by Zhao Xin: I will wait for you to come back.If you don't come back, I'll go find you.

Zhao Xiaobao's eyes narrowed inadvertently.He turned off the phone and put it back in his pocket, walked side by side with Tan Jin to the balcony, and then said slowly, "With your ability, you should know my past like the palm of your hand. My father and I, I mean, Zhao Xin may It’s going to be like this for a lifetime.”

Zhao Xiaobao will not understand why Tan Jin has taken extra care of him in the past few days.Now he has recovered from his serious illness and his career is booming.Even if he is worthy of Tan Jin, he is worthy of it.

But it's not a matter of being worthy or not, he and Tan Jin have no such possibility.He has a Lao Tzu who he has to deal with all his life, and he doesn't have the energy to deal with other people, such as Tan Jin.

"Since being together is so painful, why do you still insist on it?" Tan Jin was helpless to Zhao Xiaobao who was positive and optimistic in life, but was always gloomy and insisted on going downhill emotionally.He never forced Zhao Xiaobao to promise him anything.Even after that hint, he never mentioned it again.

He insisted on accompanying Zhao Xiaobao like this because he thought he could do better than Zhao Xin.

Zhao Xiaobao raised his head, looked up at the starry sky above his head, and after a moment of silence, he said, "It's because I can't let go and forgive. And I don't know how to live after leaving him completely. That's why I procrastinate like this until he can't stand it." On that day, wait for him to leave voluntarily."

This is the first time that Zhao Xiaobao took the initiative to show his vulnerability in front of Tan Jin, in order to make Tan Jin withdraw from the tug of war between their father and son.

How could Tan Jin be so easy to persuade?

He maintained his inherent calmness and calmness.In order not to irritate Zhao Xiaobao's overly fragile nerves, he tried his best to soften his voice, and said to Zhao Xiaobao, "You can't let go of it now, in five, ten, or 20 years, you may learn to ignore it, but you still can't let it go. Now let's think about it differently, assuming you betrayed Zhao Xin, do you think he can forgive you?"

Zhao Xiaobao frowned and thought deeply.

It took a long time before he raised his head and said, "No."

After getting the expected answer, Tan Jin's lips twitched slightly, "Then we can do a simple experiment and design a scene. If Zhao Xin can tolerate you and forgive your mistakes, then... I suggest you try Abandon the past, and try to be with him again. If he can't forgive you, you should rethink your actions. At your age, there is really no need to stumble and die here for the rest of your life."
