Spending a lifetime?
Xiao Zheng's expression froze for a moment before he half-jokingly said: "Uncle, I'm not the kind of person you think I am."
Despite his age, Gandalf has always kept up with the times. Instantly understanding the meaning behind Xiao Zheng's words, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I'm not either!"
With that said, Gandalf lit a cigarette. With the smoke curling around his face, he said word by word: "Ah Zeng. In short, state your conditions. As long as I can do it, I won't let you suffer a loss. Whether it's business or anything else. "
"I'm sorry. I don't want him to agree. "
Without waiting for Xiao Zheng to answer, Sophia turned on the speaker and transliterated the words she typed into the phone.
"Hmm?" Slightly surprised, Gandalf turned to look at Sophia. "Why?"
"Do you want the most important person in your life to be in danger?" Sophia's attitude was tough. "A lifetime?"
Gandalf smiled, his attitude still modest: "Spending a lifetime doing something that may never be needed. And reaping great rewards. This is actually a very good deal. "
"What you have, I have. Although not as much as you. But I can give it all to him. You can't, and you won't. " Sophia calmly stared at the big crocodile in front of her and expressionlessly picked up the phone. "Why would he agree to this? What reason does he have to agree to this? "
Instead of refuting, Gandalf's eyes fell back onto Xiao Zheng's face.
Xiao Zheng took two puffs of his e-cigarette, but his face still had a tranquil smile: "You want me to spend a lifetime protecting little Downey?"
Gandalf silently nodded.
"Then, do you know that I am his master? And he is likely to be my only apprentice in this lifetime? "Xiao Zheng asked rhetorically.
"A strong person like you is enough. Teaching one apprentice is more than enough. " Gandalf didn't directly answer the question. Instead, he elaborated on the choices people at Xiao Zheng's level would usually make.
"Then why would you make such a request?" Xiao Zheng slightly frowned. "Don't you think it's unnecessary?"
"I won't." Gandalf smiled. "In this world, apart from me, there is no one else who can do that for him."
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng couldn't help but half-jokingly and half-seriously say, "That's true. If he dares to steal my woman, I will definitely beat him up. "
"What if my son becomes her enemy?" Gandalf pointed at Sofia and said meaningfully. "What if my son becomes the enemy of any woman you care about and are willing to sacrifice your life for? What will you choose? "
Xiao Zheng was taken aback for a moment before he shook his head and said, "Donnie is not as ungrateful as you think."
"Nothing is absolute in this world." Gandalf said with a serious face. "Five years ago, ten years ago. Can you imagine that Ye Shiguan, who used to be so close to you, would use you, betray you, and even hurt your brother? "
Xiao Zheng is stunned for a moment. Although Gandalf's words are not profound, they speak of the helplessness of this world.
That was right.
There are too many things that we thought would never happen, but in the end, they happened. We were caught off guard by the onslaught.
As the head of the Moore Family, Donnie's biological mother and guide, Gandalf's worries can only mean that he understands the importance of preparing for a rainy day better than the average person.
Even though this attitude was a little harsh and hurt Xiao Zheng's feelings on a certain level. But he was speechless, unable to refute.
"Xiao Zheng." Gandalf calmly stared at Xiao Zheng as he spoke one word at a time. "If I say that one day in the future, you and Miss Sophia will become enemies, you might not care about it at the moment, but if it really happens, you will not care about it. What are you going to do? Of course, this kind of hypothesis is just a hypothesis after all. The possibility of it happening is much smaller than it not happening. "
"But Tanner is my son and the future of the Moore family. I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts as a father. "Gandalf said in a reserved manner. It was very realistic, very cruel, and even seemed a little groundless in the eyes of others. But wasn't there a fine line between a lunatic and a genius? Many decisions that many people thought were wrong, but in the end, didn't they have an immeasurable impact? Even Xiao Zheng's father-in-law, Lin Chaotian, didn't he make a decision that no one agreed with or even cursed before he became famous?
Those who achieve great things don't care about trifles. But he cares about the details more than anyone else. He cares about the problems that normal people ignore.
What's more, in his eyes, Xiao Zheng is definitely the biggest miracle and variable in the past two decades.
"I can assure you." Xiao Zheng took a puff of his e-cigarette and slowly said. "As long as he doesn't do anything that angers the gods. He will always be my apprentice. "
"As long as he's still my apprentice. Even if someone wants to harm him at the ends of the earth. I won't sit back and watch. "
Xiao Zheng smiled, his eyes quite hot: "To tell you the truth, although Tanner is likely to be my only apprentice, I like him very much. But I like him very much, and I am proud to have such a disciple. "
"Master –"
Suddenly, Tanner's excited and trembling voice came from behind. Before Xiao Zheng could turn his head, Donnie, who had entered the villa, came to him. His eyes were slightly red, and he squatted beside Xiao Zheng with a complicated expression. "Being your disciple is the proudest thing in my life."
Xiao Zheng gave Donnie a meaningful look. He curled his lips and said, "Even if that's what you think, in front of your father, you should say that being his son is the proudest thing in your life."
"Hahaha." Gandalf laughed. "He doesn't think that being my son is something to be proud of."
Looking back at Gandalf, Tanner discontentedly said: "Old man. I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming. You even maliciously tried to sow discord between me and master. For a father like you to act like this, no wonder grandpa hated you the most. "
Coughing dryly, Gandalf scolded: "Brat. Leave some face for your father in front of outsiders. "
Tanner rolled his eyes: "Face is earned by oneself. Which father's face is given by his son? "
Gandalf seems to be at his wit's end, or perhaps in his eyes, Tanner's performance is good enough and there's nothing to criticize. Bickering with his precious son for a bit, Gandalf got up with a smile: "You youngsters talk. I still have something to do, so I'll be leaving first. "
"Uncle, stay for dinner before you leave?" Xiao Zheng politely asked.
Gandalf smiled and tactfully refused. Following closely behind, Xiao Zheng personally sent Gandalf out the door.
"Xiao Zheng. No matter when, if you feel that there's no road ahead. Come to New York. Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you. "Gandalf sincerely said.
Nodding gratefully, Xiao Zheng looked at Gandalf with a complicated expression: "Uncle, does every father think of himself as a mountain? The mountain of the son? "
Slightly startled, Gandalf laughed: "I like this analogy."
