During the Chinese New Year, Lu Yan and Lu Zhen returned to Beicheng for their winter vacation.

That afternoon, Lu Yan accompanied Jian Yao to go shopping for Chinese New Year's clothes. The pedestrian street was crowded and it was quite lively.

In just a few years, people's consumption levels have risen sharply. Now the real economy is quite prosperous, but within a few years, people's shopping tendencies will turn to the Internet. Lu Yan has been encouraging Lu Zhen to explore the field of Internet e-commerce. No one is optimistic about this area, but Lu Yan knows that the stars and the sea are actually promising.

Lu Yan bought a bottle of lemonade and handed it to Jian Yao. Jian Yao touched her little head: "Thank you good girl."

Lu Yan smiled sweetly: "No thanks, mom."

"You really call me mom!"

"Yes!"

Jian Yao's name is Lu Yan's daughter, which is completely joking, but she didn't expect that Lu Yan, a little girl, would actually like this kind of role-playing.

"All right." Jian Yao unscrewed the lid of the lemonade bottle, and gave Lu Yan the first bite to drink.

At this moment, Lu Yan looked familiar to a man walking towards him.

The man wore a slick gray coat, his hair was permed with the most popular explosive head of the year, and his bangs were very long, completely blocking his eyes, showing a sense of laziness and decadence.

This man... is so familiar.

Lu Yan quickly poked Jian Yao with her elbow to let Jian Yao pay attention.

Jian Yao looked up at him and said, "Isn't this Wu Tianhan?"

"Who?"

"Wu Tianhan, from our high school, by the way, isn't your sister Shi Ya falling in love with him?"

Lu Yan just remembered that this person was Shi Ya's boyfriend. Shi Ya followed her boyfriend Wu Tianhan and went to a private independent college in the province. The relationship between the two seemed to be very stable.

but......

Lu Yan looked up, and the girl standing next to Wu Tianhan was not Shi Ya.

"Did you break up?" Jian Yao asked gossiping.

Lu Yan shook her head blankly: "I don't know."

The two girls stared at Wu Tianhan intently, and watched him walk into a hotel opposite to the girl beside him.

Jian Yao said "Yo~", took out Lu Yan's phone, and took a picture with "click".

Lu Yan smiled and said, "Don't gossip! And take pictures."

"Just take a picture, it's a rare encounter." Jian Yao took back the phone: "Let's go, continue shopping!"

Soon, Lu Yan put the matter behind.

In the evening, during dinner, Shi Ya also came. Shi Xuexian begged Lu Jian for a long time, and finally agreed to let Shi Ya come to Luzhai for the New Year.

Lu Jian asked her two sons and daughters about their studies and life one by one, and they seemed very interested.

Lu Yan answered Lu Jian five to ten, but Lu Zhen was more perfunctory. After all, boys were not more caring than girls.

Seeing that Lu Jian hadn't asked Shi Ya, Shi Xuexian reached out and patted Shi Ya on the back, and said with a smile: "We Ya Ya did a great job in school, and we won the first prize in the school's singing competition."

But after saying this, no one on the table responded to her, and the atmosphere seemed a little embarrassing.

Lu Jian wiped her mouth with a napkin and said, "University is a process of exercising yourself. I hope you don't relax and study after you enter, you know?"

Shi Ya immediately said: "I know Uncle Lu, I will work hard! I will not disappoint your expectations."

Lu Jian forkped a piece of beef and put it into Lu Yan's bowl. There was another long silence, and the atmosphere was about to explode with embarrassment.

Shi Xuexian could see that Lu Jian had no expectations of Shi Ya, and he was telling his sons and daughters.

She felt a little uncomfortable, but still smiled on her face and said: "This year, Ya Ya is really sensible. Let's continue!"

"I will, mother!"

Shi Ya looked at Lu Yan, with some unkindness brewing in her eyes, pretending to say casually: "Lu Yan, when will you bring your boyfriend home, let Uncle Lu take a look."

Lu Yan's hand with the spoon suddenly tightened, her eyes cold when she looked at Shi Ya, Shi Ya generously greeted her with a smug look on her face.

Lu Jian put down his knife and fork and asked curiously, "Xiao Yan, have you made a boyfriend?"

"Uh, uh."

"What is it called, where is it from, what is your character and family background, is it your classmate?"

Lu Jian attaches great importance to the issue of Lu Yan's relationship, and the problem is thrown out like a gun.

Lu Yan feels...a bit stressed.

Lu Yan replied selectively: "He... his name is Shen Kui and his character is very good."

Lu Jian seemed to start checking his household registration: "Are you from the province? What do your parents do?"

"parents..."

Before Lu Yan could answer, Shi Ya immediately interrupted: "Uncle Lu, you don't know. They were together in high school. The boy had no mother. There was only one dad who died of illness last year. The family was poor and white. .."

Lu Zhen threw the fork in Lu Zhen's hand heavily on the plate, making a crisp "bang", which made Shi Ya jump in fright.

Shi Xuexian immediately said, "Lu Zhen, what are you doing with your fork!"

Lu Zhen licked her lips, and said to Shi Ya in a lazy tone: "You have nothing to do with you."

"You speak awkwardly."

"This is my home, I just talk like this, don't like to listen, go away."

"Enough, I didn't ask you two, shut up." Lu Jian stopped both of them, and turned to look at Lu Yan: "His parents...are there anymore?"

Lu Yan nodded and replied frankly: "His father has passed away a year."

"It doesn't seem to be a good family background." There was a trace of worry on Lu Jian's face: "In terms of personality..."

Before Lu Yan spoke, Shi Xuexian said leisurely: "Boys from this kind of family usually have defects in their personality."

Lu Yan's hand clenched the spoon tightly. Under the table, Lu Zhen patted her knee gently and said, "Shen Kuo is my buddy, he is fine, there is nothing wrong with him."

"Even if the personality is okay, but the family background doesn't match. Although it's the 21st century, it's not right to talk about the family, but it can't be too bad. Xiaoyan's family background is so much better than him, maybe... He just picked Gao Zhier to climb."

Shi Xuexian covered her mouth and smiled: "Don't blame me for thinking people too badly, but it's not impossible, right?"

Lu Jian's face gradually sank. Obviously, he had listened to Shi Xuexian's words.

Lu Yan is his most precious and beloved daughter, and he will never allow anyone to deceive her feelings.

Lu Jian said: "Yanyan, college should still focus on academics, and the boyfriend's matter will be considered later."

"Dad, what you said..." Lu Zhen couldn't listen anymore: "Isn't it weird that you don't let people fall in love during such a good youth in college, and you will be urged to get married after graduation in the future."

Lu Jian's tone relaxed a little, and said, "I didn't want Xiao Yan to fall in love. The brothers in her uncles' family are all young talents. I think Ye Jiaqi is pretty good."

He has always admired Ye Jiaqi, thinking about making him a son-in-law.

"That depends on Xiao Yan's own liking."

"I'll talk about this later." Lu Jian didn't want to argue with Lu Zhen.

Lu Yan looked at Shi Ya coldly, Shi Ya was also looking at her, with a winner's smile on her face.

"Speaking of boyfriend, Shi Ya, you are still in love with Wu Tianhan."

"Yes."

When Lu Yan mentioned Wu Tianhan, Shi Xuexian's expression became even more complacent, and she said to Lu Jian: "Ya Ya's boyfriend is really good. The eldest son of the Wu family has all kinds of people in the family. If you get married in the future, maybe you will be right. You will still be helpful in business."

Lu Jian didn't say a word. He never thought of relying on the marriage of his children to consolidate the company's interests. What's more, Shi Ya has nothing to do with him.

Lu Yan calmly said: "Wu Tianhan and Shi Ya have always had a very good relationship. Yesterday I saw them go shopping together."

Shi Ya was stunned: "Yesterday?"

"Yes." Lu Yanman said casually: "Wu Tianhan bought you a lot of clothes on the pedestrian street, what's the name of the hotel at the end of the street... Oh, Youyuan Hotel, you guys went in together, didn't you? "

After hearing this, Shi Ya's face changed drastically, and she stood up and pointed to Lu Yan and said, "You framed! Nothing! I didn't! Bloody mouth!"

"Huh? Isn't this you?"

Lu Yan took out the phone, opened the photo in the album, and handed it to Shi Ya.

Thanks to my mom for changing her mobile phone with camera function when she graduated from high school.

Shi Ya saw the two people in the photo. The man's back was Wu Tianhan, and the girl he was holding...but not her!

The two of them were tightly attached and intimate. Wu Tianhan carried large and small bags in his hands. It was obvious that they were all things bought for the girls around him.

This photo was taken by Jian Yao. The most amazing thing is that she actually took the four characters Youyuan Hotel as the background board.

This move was too powerful, and Shi Ya's eyes immediately turned red.

Shi Xuexian snatched the phone over, looked at the man and woman in the photo, and asked Shi Ya eagerly: "What's going on! Who is this girl!"

"How do I know!"

"Didn't you say that he likes you so much? How can he still be with others!" Shi Xuexian was also anxious. She was very satisfied with Wu Tianhan, a good son-in-law, and looked forward to her daughter marrying into Wu's family, and she could also be able to stay on the waist of Lu's family. Keep it straight so that you don't get so angry.

Shi Ya finally burst into tears: "I don't know, he...he rarely calls me recently."

"Battle! This bastard..."

Lu Jian became a little impatient. A good reunion dinner was ruined by the mother and daughter. He said, "I want to quarrel you out and don't affect your meal."

Shi Ya wiped her tears, turned around and ran out of the room, but Shi Xuexian didn't care about anything, and chased up to ask the situation.

Under the table, Lu Zhen rushed to Lu Yan with a powerful gesture, which could make her meet.

Sure enough, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to Mo are black. After a long time with Shen Kuo's scheming boy, the rank of the little girl has also improved a lot.

Although the topic was turned over, Lu Jian was still a little worried. At night, he knocked on Lu Yan's door.

"Please come in."

Lu Jian pushed the door and walked in: "Yanyan, haven't you slept yet?"

Lu Yan was lying on the table, watching a dance video on the computer: "No, I'll go to bed right away."

"Yanyan, your boyfriend, if you have time, let him come and sit at home."

"Don't worry, Shen Kui is very good to me."

"Dad is always more thorough than you see people, let Dad check it out for you."

After all, she is her own daughter, and Lu Jian is still worried that the little girl will be deceived.

Lu Yan thought for a while and said, "Okay, grandpa, let me ask him."

"Okay, okay." Lu Jian rubbed the little girl's head: "I'm still called Grandpa."

"Well..."

He was originally grandpa.

Lu Jian didn't care, just what the little girl called, she was happy.

When Lu Jian turned to go out, Lu Yan suddenly said: "I found that you have changed."

"What?" Lu Jian puzzled.

Lu Yan smiled and said, "You have changed, not the same as before."

In the past, Lu Yan had known her grandfather from Lu Zhen’s words. Lu Zhen said that he is simply the tyrant in the family. No one dares to rebel against what he has to do. He believes it is the right thing. , Which dare to say wrong.

Lu Zhen is a master who is soft but not hard. Under the harsh patriarchal suppression of Lu Jian, his temper became more and more rebellious, and he finally broke off the relationship between father and son...

In fact, Lu Zhen loves his parents very much. He likes to please Meng Zhining very much. He even pretends to be silly in front of his mother and makes her laugh.

For my dad, he hopes to be recognized by him. If he can praise him, he can even be happy for many days...

However, in the past, Lu Jian never praised Lu Zhen. In his eyes, Lu Zhen was ignorant, worthless, and had no good points at all.

Over the years, Lu Jian has changed a lot in subtle ways.

Regardless of whether the son is successful or not, first he should be a loving father, and secondly, he should be a strict father.

Lu Yan smiled and said to him: "Lu Zhen actually admires you very much. You are his idol."

Lu Jian exited the room, stood at the door and paused for a long time, then walked to the door of Lu Zhen's room, pacing.

There was a bluish light from the gap in the door of the room, and he did not lock it.

Lu Jian heard his friends talk about his own children, and closed the door of the room as soon as he returned to the room. He didn't know what was going on in the room.

Lu Zhen never locked the door of the room. Even most of the time, his door was left open and generous...

He never isolates himself from his family.

Lu Jian looked into the room through the gap in the door, Lu Zhen lay on the bed, bending over, smiling like a dog——

"Baby go to bed early."

"Yeah, I'll write the code for a while, and then I fall asleep"

"Love you, kiss."

"Kiss again..."

Lu Jian:...

Sometimes it might be better to lock the door.

He knocked on the door, and Lu Zhen sat up defensively, hiding the phone behind him.

"Ah, dad, is there anything wrong?"

"It's okay, go to bed early."

Lu Zhen was flattered: "Huh?"

"Let you go to bed early, don't stay up late."

"Oh!"

Lu Jian closed the door of the room.

As Lu Zhen listened to his footsteps drifting away, the corners of his mouth twitched. At this moment, his sense of happiness was simply overwhelming.

On the 30th of this year, there was a lot of snow, and the temperature dropped.

In the morning, the heating at home was broken. Shen Kui took a wrench and went upstairs to fix the heating, but the temperature in the room still did not rise.

Simply give up, anyway, he only stayed at home for a few days before going back to school.

The house is deserted and there is no New Year atmosphere. Although their home was not lively during the Chinese New Year, at any rate, there were two people, Dad and him, watching the Spring Festival Gala and eating a New Year's Eve dinner, and they were always reunited.

This year, he is the only one left.

Shen Kui looked at the black-and-white photos of his father's smile on the wall. The man liked to laugh very much.

He asked the man in the posthumous photo: "Why can a dragonfly fly if its wings are broken?"

There is no dad's sneer in life, Shen Kui is still a little uncomfortable, he replied: "Because it is very strong."

A blast of cold wind hit the window, making a creaking sound.

It's really cold enough.

He turned around and went out. In any case, he bought some New Year goods and gave it to New Year's Eve tonight.

Forty minutes later, he came back carrying the white plastic bag, only to see a bright red figure standing in front of the door.

The girl is wearing a big red down jacket with white rabbit fur on the collar and brim, flying softly in the cold wind.

She put her plush gloved hand to her mouth and exhaled the white mist. The tip of his nose was red with cold, and a thin layer of frost hung on the curled eyelashes.

She stood in the cold wind and kept rubbing her hands, looking a little stunned.

Shen Kui quickened his pace and walked over, took the girl into his arms, gently stroked her back, and warmed her up: "Why are you here?"

Lu Yan lifted the plastic bag in her hand: "I bought a lot of food, come and celebrate the New Year with you."

Shen Kui pulled her into the room and turned on the radiator that didn't work well.

"Come here, why don't you call me, what if I'm not here tonight, how long are you going to stand outside and wait?"

Lu Yan put her pocket on the cabinet, took off her gloves and said, "I sent you a text message."

Shen Kui took out the phone and looked at it. She did send a text message and asked what he was doing. Shen Kui returned to her to buy Chinese New Year goods.

Lu Yan would text him every trivial matter. Shen Kui thought it was her daily greeting, but she didn't expect her to come over.

"The heating on my side is broken." He turned around and said to her: "Sit down for a while, and I will send you back."

"Is it broken? I didn't feel it at all." The little girl was sincere.

Shen Kui said: "The acting class you took was very effective."

Acting is very online.

Lu Yan pouted her lips and said in dissatisfaction: "I came here to accompany you for the New Year. I will drive people away before my butt is hot."

Shen Kui was also very helpless. If it were normal, the heating was broken today, and he dared not let her stay for too long.

"Stay and eat the food, and then I'll take you back." After Shen Kui finished speaking, he went to the kitchen with two packs of plastic bags.

Lu Yan walked slowly to the door of the kitchen and suggested, "Shen Kuo, why don't you go to our house tonight, my father...My dad said he wants to see you too."

Shen Kuo's hand paused, and then said: "No need."

"You... don't want to go to my house?"

He turned his back to her and replied: "It's a bit early now."

He is not yet mentally prepared to meet his parents.

Lu Yan put his head on the door frame, and muttered, "Yes, it's still early. If you break up someday, the parents won't see you for nothing, right."

Shen Kui heard the displeasure in the little girl's tone, and threw a small garlic seedling behind him, impartially, and steadily hit Lu Yan on the forehead.

Lu Yan clutched her head and said slightly angrily: "What are you doing!"

"Don't say those two words lightly." Shen Kui turned around and said, "I will be angry."

"I'm still angry!"

Lu Yan walked to the living room angrily, sat cross-legged on the sofa, turned her back and ignored him.

Babadi came all the way, and it took a long time for the cold wind to enter the house. Before entering the house, she was given an eviction order. She finally mustered up the courage and tentatively suggested that he should go back to see her family. But was rejected...

Does it feel good? Not at all!

Shen Kui walked out of the kitchen and sat next to her. Lu Yan immediately moved aside and stayed away from him.

Something was passed to her hand, and then squeezed into her palm, hard.

Lu Yan couldn't restrain his curiosity, and looked down

Several colorful fruit hard candies.

Hmph, she is not a child, just a few candies to make her happy, there is no door.

Lu Yan pushed the sugar away: "No more."

There was a crisp sound of sugar paper rushing in his ears, and Shen Kui slowly peeled off the sugar paper, and then fed the fruit hard candy into her mouth.

"No! I don't like candy!"

The spine Lu Yan was about to spit out the fruit candy, Shen Kui suddenly leaned over, kissed her lips, and sealed her mouth at the same time.

"Well!"

The sweet and sour taste of fruit candy filled her lips and teeth, and Shen Kui kissed her for a long time, then swept away the fruit candy on the tip of her tongue.

"Repay me if you don't eat."

"Hey you..."

why is it like this!

Lu Yan grabbed his neck and kissed him actively, asking for the fruit candy.

"I want to eat."

Shen Kui gently rubbed her nose and said softly, "First, it's not to drive you away, because it's really cold at home; second, I'm talking about it early, not about our relationship, but that I have nothing now. It’s hard to see your family."

Lu Yan hugged him tightly: "I don't mind, neither will my family..."

"But I mind."

Lu Yan stopped. She knew his pride and his persistence.

"Wait another six months." Shen Kui assured her: "Six months is enough."

Lu Yan nodded obediently: "Sorry Shen Kui, I shouldn't lose my temper. I won't do it anymore."

Mutual understanding is the prerequisite for two people to get along.

Shen Kui loosened her, rubbed her head, smiled and said, "You can lose your temper in the future."

"what?"

"Because you are good to coax." One candy can coax it back.

Lu Yan pressed her tongue against the sweet and sour fruit candy, and said, "Such a good-tempered girlfriend, someone is very lucky."

"Yes, I'm very lucky."

Shen Kui pulled Lu Yan's hand, fiddled with her long beautiful fingertips, and said slowly: "I am not in a good mood today, but I am very happy now. Thank you for coming with me."

Lu Yan looked at the picture of Uncle Shen on the wall and then at the empty home, and understood why he was in a bad mood.

"It's just too cold at home."

"No matter, I'm here, at least I have to eat the food, right." Lu Yan pushed Shen Kui to the kitchen: "Hurry up and cook, I'm so hungry."

Shen Kui smiled, took off her coat, wrapped her little feet, then got up and went to the kitchen.

The clothes were warm, with his body temperature and taste, and Lu Yan's cold feet immediately warmed up.

She looked at his busy back in the kitchen, and her heart was warm.

At this time, Shen Kui, although his temper was well controlled, he was somewhat of a youthful spirit, unlike him after his middle age.

Lu Yan suddenly remembered that she had a New Year's Eve experience with middle-aged Shen Kuo.

It was three months after she moved into the Shen Kui house, on the 30th year of the year, all the servants in the family went home, and the empty Shen Kui house was left with only her and Shen Kui.

Shen Kui had been busy at the company until 9:30 in the evening before returning home, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, looked extremely cold in the wind and snow.

Even the driver had returned home for reunion, so he drove back by himself. On the way home, he stopped by the market and bought two barrels of fireworks.

Because...there is a little girl at home, and he wants to show her fireworks.

As soon as the man entered the house, he saw the little girl lying on the sofa with a pillow, secretly wiped away tears.

Lu Yan wants to go home, wants to go back and spend the New Year with her father...

Shen Kuo's warm heart was suddenly poured with cold water. He looked at the cold pot and stove at home, and looked at the poor little girl, feeling distressed.

He took off his jacket, threw it on the sofa casually, sat opposite her, and asked in a deep voice, "Want to go?"

Lu Yan nodded cautiously: "Uncle Shen, I...I miss my dad."

"Then go."

Lu Yan looked at Shen Kui in surprise.

The man looked out the window, and under the dim light, his chiseled facial features were enshrined in a layer of nobility and coldness.

"I won't keep you anymore. Today on New Year's Eve, I go back to reunite with my family. After I go back, I don't have to come."

After he finished speaking, he got up and went upstairs.

Lu Yan looked at the door and looked at Shen Kui: "Then...Uncle Shen, you promise to let my dad go..."

"do as promised."

Lu Yan didn't even have time to pack up his luggage, for fear that Shen Kui would change his mind, he hurried to the door, hurriedly changed his sports shoes, and left the Shen Kui house.

After walking out 100 meters, she heard the sound of fireworks exploding behind her. She turned her head and saw clusters of beautiful fireworks rising above the Shen's house, illuminating half of the night sky.

Shen Kui set off fireworks on the roof alone.

Lu Yan looked at the brilliant fireworks in the sky and the lonely figure standing on the top of the building. An inexplicable sadness suddenly poured into her heart. She turned around in a daze, wanting to go back, wanting to go back to accompany him. ..

At that time, a high beam swept over, Lu Yan's eyes were white, and then there was a car accident that turned upside down...

She lost consciousness, and then left the world.

Shi Xuexian really couldn't stand it for a day. As long as there was Lu Yan in this family, she would never have a day in her life.

She didn't believe that Lu Yan was Lu Jian's daughter. The little girl who went missing back then couldn't come back. How could she come back...

That afternoon, while Lu Yan was not at home, she tricked her servant out to buy things, and then sneaked into her room.

After looking around in the room, Shi Xuexian came to Lu Yan's window, put on white plastic gloves, and picked up a strand of hair she had left on the pillow.

Looking at the strand of hair, a vicious color appeared in the corner of her eyes.

As long as it proves that Lu Yan and Lu Jian are not related by blood, and they are not biological fathers and daughters, such as a man whose bloodline is important to Lu Jian, she is bound to drive her out of the house.

Shi Xuexian carefully slammed the strand of hair into the film bag.
