Seaside Inn

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ran went out in a tricycle. The road to his new home was a bit narrow. It wasn’t that the car couldn’t drive there, but Jiang Ran parked the car at the B&B because he thought it was troublesome. It's random if you want to get in the rain while blowing, depending on God's mood.

As Aunt Chen said on the phone, there was a car parked in front of the small courtyard of the hotel, a Rolls-Royce, with a starting price of 80 yuan, which is really not ordinary expensive.

Jiang Ran parked the car and was about to go up to ask what happened. Before he could move, the people in the car got off first.

The three men are all in suits, but they can tell at a glance who is the driver, who is the assistant, and who is the big boss.

"Hi Jiang Ran, my surname is Meng, Meng Jinshui."

Jiang Ran glanced at the middle-aged man, then at his outstretched hand.

"It's fine to shake hands, I'm sorry." Jiang Ran spread his dirty palms, and forgot to wash his hands when he went out in a hurry.

"Excuse me, what's the matter? If it's a vacation, the homestay will be closed for the next few days. You can go to the hotel in the county." That's more suitable for you.

Meng Jinshui withdrew his hand and smiled, "We're not here for vacation, we want to talk to you about your identity."

Jiang Ran frowned, his identity, what identity.

"Or let's put it another way, your father's identity. Do you know that your father's surname is Meng?"

The polite smile on Jiang Ran's face disappeared, and she glanced at Aunt Chen who was looking at what was going on, and turned to open the door of the hotel, "Come in first!"

There were only two people who came in, and the driver stayed outside and did not come in.

Although there are no people living in the homestay these days, Jiang Ran has tidied it up well and is fairly clean.

"Sit down first, I'll boil the water."

Regardless of them, Jiang Ran turned around and went into the kitchen after leaving a sentence. The water needs to be boiled, and the phone needs to be called.

"Ji Kun, bring grandpa and grandma to the small courtyard, just say it's about my father."

Just as Jiang Ran had finished making a pot of tea, Ji Kun brought the old man, Mrs. Jiang, here in a hurry. Mrs. Jiang hadn't left so fast for a long time. When she arrived at the small courtyard, she had no time to speak.

"you are?"

Meng Jinshui took out a business card and put his hands in front of old man Jiang, "Old man, this is Meng Changhe, the director of the Meng Group, and Meng Qi's father. I am his secretary, Meng Jinshui."

As soon as the word Meng Qi came out, the small courtyard became quiet again.

The old man Jiang looked at Meng Changhe and sighed for a long time, "It's been so long, I almost can't remember Aqi's face, but I remembered you when I saw you, brother."

"Like, really like."

Meng Changhe twitched the corner of his mouth, and said softly, "Brother, Aqi, why didn't you?"

"Car accident."

Jiang Ran stopped pouring tea.

"On the way home with my daughter, a truck came across the road. The driver was tired and didn't see them." The old man Jiang spoke in such a soft tone that he could barely hear him. Turn your head away from your eye sockets.

Jiang Ran's father, like Jiang Ran's mother, is the pain in the hearts of the Jiang family.

The arrival of Meng Changhe and Meng Jinshui, recalling the past, was nothing more than tearing open their scabbed wounds cruelly and bloody.

When old man Jiang said a word, Meng Changhe's face turned pale. Meng Jinshui, who was standing beside him, knew about Meng Qi's death a long time ago, and still couldn't help sobbing. Take out the medicine on your body, "Uncle Meng..."

Meng Changhe waved his hands and refused to take the medicine. What's the use of taking medicine? How can physical pain compare to heartache?

The old man Jiang hesitated for a while before he said, "When An An brought Aqi back, I knew that this kid was not an ordinary person. He refused to use his ID card, refused to open his card, and used An An's for everything. A fool would not be able to see what he was hiding. But this kid is very kind, and he doesn’t look like a villain. An An just likes him, so if she has to marry him, then get married! After getting married, he ran to the town to open a furniture store. The business was not bad, and a fat boy was born later, which made us very happy."

"The good days are bestowed by the gods. If he is unhappy, he will take them back if he wants to."

"I'm getting old and white-haired to send black-haired people. If it wasn't for Aran's young age, I'm afraid I would have gone with them early in the morning."

"Looking at it now, Ah Qi must be hiding his father!"

Meng Changhe nodded, "Brother, my family does have some money. I opened a company and managed a lot of people. Aqi was young and couldn't stand things and didn't like doing business. I thought about setting up a blind date for him and finding him a meeting The daughter-in-law who runs the business."

"He didn't listen to me, so he ran away. He ran away for almost 30 years."

Meng Changhe looked up at Jiang Ran, "You look like your father, you really do."

Holding the teapot in his hand, Jiang Ran didn't speak, and couldn't even pull out a polite smile.

His father's face, his mother's face, and the body that was covered with a white cloth that night could still see blood, the hysterical crying of grandparents, the house with white flags, and the parents in the black and white portraits flashed through his mind. .

"Master, can we go and see Brother Qi?"

Old man Jiang nodded and stood up, "Let's go, I'll take you there. Ah Ran, don't go and guard your grandma!"

Old Jiang followed Meng Jinshui into the car and drove away.

Jiang Pozi hugged Jiang Ran suddenly and cried, "My child!"

With a sore nose, Jiang Ran hugged Mrs. Jiang tightly, without comfort.

What to comfort, what can I say to comfort the pain of the old man with white hair sending the black-haired man in his arms?

Ji Kun stood at the door watching this scene, turned his back and lit a cigarette.

Jiang Pozi, who had cried a lot, was sitting in the yard waiting for them to come back, and Jiang Ran Jikun was also guarding beside her.

The yard was very quiet, except for the sound of wind and birds, no human voice could be heard.

I don't know how long it took before they came back.

All three of them had red eyes and didn't say anything about being in the cemetery.

"Pack up and go back to your new home. Brother Meng will sleep at our house tonight."

Back at her new home, Jiang Ran didn't have the time to cook. She cooked porridge and scrambled eggs, and no one on the table was in the mood to eat. A table of six people could not finish eating a bowl of rice and a plate of eggs.

After dinner.

"Are you here to take Aran away?" Old man Jiang asked, "It's always been shown on TV. But I beg you, old man, this is the only child I have left..."

Jiang Ran couldn't hold back anymore and shouted "Grandpa."

He squatted down and held the old man Jiang's hand, "What are you talking about, how can you take it seriously because the TV shows are all lies?"

Meng Jinshui was afraid that something was wrong with the old man, so he quickly said, "Master, you have misunderstood. We are here to meet relatives and not to make enemies. We haven't thanked you and your daughter yet!"

Old man Jiang nodded his head repeatedly after hearing this, "That's good, that's good, boy, he's your father's father, you have to call him grandpa."

Jiang Ran raised his eyes to look at Meng Changhe. Although the old man didn't speak, his eyes were full of expectation. Jiang Ran pursed his lips and called out "Grandpa" in a muffled voice.

Meng Changhe nodded in agreement, and took out a gold card from his pocket, "I came here in a hurry and didn't prepare a meeting gift. In my whole life, I have nothing left except money, so you can spend it as you like."

Jiang Ran didn't want to, but Meng Changhe didn't give him a chance to refuse, so he put it on the table and ignored it, as if you just sweep the trash can if you don't want it.

I can only bear it.

There are two rooms on the second floor of Old Man Jiang’s house where he plays mahjong, and they can still sleep in a crowded place.

After settling them, Jiang Ran returned to his room.

Ji Kun hugged him from behind, "The past has become a fact, and now it is a good thing to have more relatives."

Jiang Ran nodded, "I know, don't worry."

After one night, Meng Changhe was ready to leave.

Before leaving, Meng Changhe and Jiang Ran said, "Let's go."

People in the village got up early. It was strange to see Jiang Ran talking to a stranger, but he didn't dare to go forward to gossip. The main reason was that the man was dressed like a rich man. The sapphire finger in his hand could blind the eyes, and he was full of aura. , Don't talk about gossip, they feel panic when they get too close.

The two of them walked to the beach, and Meng Changhe looked at the face that resembled his son, "If he obeyed me obediently and married Miss Chen, he wouldn't have to die so early, and you wouldn't be like that. "

Jiang Ran frowned, and suddenly the little goodwill from yesterday disappeared without a trace, "Do you think my father was killed by my mother?"

"I don't mean that. I'm not saying that your mother is bad, but that she can't help Aqi."

"My mother gave birth to my father as a living person, and helping him make money and take care of housework is not enough?"

Meng Changhe felt that Jiang Ran didn't understand what he meant, "That's not what I said, what I said was that your mother can't make your father's career better."

"Is it my dad or you who wants to go to the next level?"

"Aren't they all the same?"

"It's different. If my dad wanted to improve his career, he wouldn't die in this small place. If you want to improve your career, you use your son's marriage as a bargaining chip. I look down on you." .”

"I'm doing it for him!"

Jiang Ran sneered and said nothing, parents in this world are so virtuous, they always say it is for your own good, for your own good, and how many of them have asked their children for their opinions.

He now knows why his dad ran away from home and hid.

Jiang Ran ignored him, Meng Changhe felt strange, sighed and said, "Forget it, if I had this awareness back then, I wouldn't be where I am today. Things are already like this. What if."

"When you have time, change your last name back!"

"Don't change it, Jiang Ran and Meng Ran, Jiang Ran is still used to listening."

"Okay, let's talk about the surname later." Meng Changhe said, "I know about you and that kid. Men and men have no future, so we should separate them as soon as possible."

"Why is there no future, every day we are together is yesterday's future."

"You won't have good results. Just take the children as an example. What will you do when you grow old without children in your life?"

Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows, "That's pretty good. They say that children are debts, so it's fine if I don't owe this debt. We have made a plan, guarding grandpa and grandma, and when they are old, we will travel around the world and want to leave I want to stop and walk. If I can’t walk, I’ll pack up and sleep in a nursing home. There’s plenty of money and people to take care of us. There’s nothing uncomfortable about it.”

Meng Changhe saw that Jiang Ran didn't eat oil and salt, and shook his hands hating iron and steel, "You will suffer when you don't listen to the old man."

After Meng Changhe left, the first thing Jiang Ran did when he came home was to throw the card on the table into the trash can. Damn it, he thought this cheap grandpa was not bad, although he was in a high position, rich and powerful, but He was calm and amiable towards his grandpa and grandma, but he didn't expect that it was all a show of face, pretending!

Seeing that he had lost the card, Ji Kun asked, "What's wrong?"

"He asked me to change my last name."

Ji Kun was not surprised either. Meng Changhe was the only son, and now that Jiang Ran is the only child left, it is normal for him to want to change his surname.

"He said I won't last long with you."

what!

Now Ji Kun quit.

"Fucking shit." Ji Kun opened his mouth and scolded, "It's great to have a few stinky money, dare to come here to point fingers."

"Never let him in next time."

After dinner, Jiang Ran looked at the card lying in the trash can, stood still for a while, sighed and bent down to pick it up and put it in the drawer.

He doesn't want this money, and he can't throw it away if he doesn't spend it. He will be punished by God, so don't waste it like this.
