Lu Gong entered the study, walked straight to his big mahogany chair and sat down.
The sofa in Lu Gong's house was made of wood, the chair was made of wood, and most of the furniture was made of wood as well. His aesthetic was exactly the same as his character. Square, dignified, and simple. If he could straighten his back, he would never lie down.
Lu Gong glanced at Fang Yan standing in front of him, pressed his raised palm down, and said softly, "Sit down."
Fang Yan, who was pretending to be a wronged wife, suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Gong in disbelief.
What was going on? Why did the scene suddenly change?
According to the old routine, Grandpa should have slowly brewed a pot of tea and let Fang Yan cool for a while before snorting and shouting, "Do you know what you did wrong? Since when did the domineering CEO start to walk the path of a romantic lead?"
"He told you to sit down." Lu Gong saw Fang Yan's expression and naturally knew what he was thinking. His tone was a little unnatural.
Fang Yan hurriedly sat down. If he didn't look for trouble, he wouldn't take the initiative to look for trouble. Otherwise, wouldn't he be born to be a bitch?
Lu Gong looked at Fang Yan and said, "You have hatred in your heart."
Fang Yan was shocked again and said, "Grandpa, you saw that too?"
Lu Gong patted an ancient book in front of him and said, "Ceng Guopan wrote 'Ice Mirror' to teach people the art of judging people. 'Get rid of the grain and turn it into chaff, the marrow remains, the Wei of God. Mountains don't collapse, only a hundred can suppress it, the so-called bones. A person's spirit has two eyes; a person's bones have a face. A scholar first looks at the God's bones. Getting straight to the point is the first. You, Fang Yan, have read thousands of books, so you can be considered half a scholar. A scholar first looks at the God's bones — Fang Yan, didn't you show it? No matter how relaxed your smile was, no matter how natural your movements were, your mind was always tense. It's like a treasured sword that can take a person's life at any time. "
Lu Gong sighed softly and said, "In the past, you were happy because you were truly happy. Now, you are happy because you want to hide the unhappiness in your heart. Fang Yan, have you ever been this cautious and reserved when you came to my place before? "
"Grandfather, there is hatred in my heart." Fang Yan could only confess to this old man. If he was so powerful, why didn't he go to the bridge to pick up stalls?
"You hate your father's murderer?"
"Yes." Fang Yan nodded. "I hated myself before too."
"Hate yourself? Hate what? The child wants to support him, but his parents don't? Or do you hate yourself for not being able to save your father? "
"Both," Fang Yan said in a deep voice.
"If you hate the former, I can understand. Most people in the modern world don't know how to cherish. They only regret when they lose it. But that's regret, not hatred. If you hate yourself because of this, then you won't be able to rest easy in the underworld. But if you hate yourself for not being able to save your father, then that's the height of stupidity. Are you a god? "
"Of course not —" Fang Yan thought, if you're not my grandfather, I'll beat you up. Is there a need to be so sarcastic?
"Since you're not a god, why do you think you're omnipotent?"
"— —"
"Just do your best." Lu Gong comforted him softly. "Do your best and leave it to fate. Some things are fate. "
Fang Yan looked at Lu Gong and said, "Grandfather, you're well-read. Do you also believe in fate?"
"One is fate, two is luck, three is feng shui, four is yin virtue, and five is literature. Fate is number one, followed by luck and feng shui. We can't change what is fated by the heavens no matter how hard we try. Since we can't change it, we can only force ourselves to accept it. Do you know why I haven't called you? "
"Grandfather wanted me to figure it out on my own."
"Yes. I wanted you to figure it out on your own and walk out on your own — — "Lu Gong said earnestly. "But you still can't figure it out, and you still can't figure it out. You're loyal, but your aptitude is really stupid — — "
"— —" Fang Yan wanted to hit someone again. He was really envious of Lu Gong. Since he was born, fate had arranged for him to be his grandfather. Otherwise, this old man would already be lying on the ground — —
"He didn't want to be a teacher and ran to be a school security guard? Who came up with this stupid idea? "
"It's Baldy — —" Fang Yan said. Good brother, take the bullet for me. Grandfather won't look for trouble with you anyway. If the old man really does look for trouble with you, it won't be long before you become famous in the education world. I'm helping you.
"Who's Baldy?"
"You wouldn't know even if I told you. But grandfather, you're right. His idea is really stupid — —"
"Professions don't differentiate between high and low. This is the point I've always insisted on. However, you can clearly be an excellent teacher, you can clearly teach more excellent students — — but because you can't untie the knot in your heart, you can't get rid of the hostility in your heart, so you can only become a security guard. What does this mean? "
"It means that my aptitude is stupid — —" Fang Yan learned to be smart. I'll scold myself first, so you can't scold me anymore, right?
"No, it means that your self-control is extremely poor. An excellent man, a successful man, they can adjust their emotions at any time, so that they can face any difficulties and challenges with the best mental state — — whether it's doing business or anything else. They can get twice the result with half the effort. "
Fang Yan thought seriously and said, "Grandfather, I understand. I'll go back and quit my job as a security guard. "
"Ready to go back and be a teacher?" Lu Gong's face finally showed a smile.
"No, I'm going to quit my job at school and focus on my own business —"
"What business?"
"Revenge."
After a long silence, Lu Gong said, "Fang Yan, I won't persuade you to give up on your hatred. A person who doesn't know how to repay kindness or fight back when insulted is incomplete — but I hope you can live up to the family rules and your conscience. "
Rising to his feet, Fang Yan bowed deeply to Lu Gong and said, "Grandfather, I understand."
Lu Gong waved his hand and said, "You're dismissed. Otherwise, your grandmother will quarrel with me again and say that I bullied you — "
Fang Yan smiled obsequiously and said, "Grandfather, you're scolding me to teach me a lesson. You don't need to scold other people —"
"Stop flattering me," said Lu Gong. "Treat Chaoge well."
"What?" Fang Yan stared at Lu Gong with wide eyes. The old man had never asked about his feelings. What was wrong with him today?
"Fang Yan, Yixing's accident happened to coincide with the three years you were away. It was Chaoge who stayed by your grandmother's side when she was the most upset. I heard from Qin Ying that Chaoge got into a few accidents. I told her not to come, and I even slammed the door in her face a few times, but she insisted on coming here once a week. Rain or shine. Fang Yan, no matter how big a man's career is or how ambitious he is, he should always leave some space for his family and spare some attention for his woman. Otherwise, how is he different from a beast? "
"—"
"Feelings are the most difficult things to bear in life. I hope you can take care of yourself and don't let any harm come to the good girl. " Lu Gong stared at Fang Yan sharply and said, "I know you're not a heartless person, but if you betray Chaoge, I'll whip you no matter how hard your grandmother tries to stop me."
"What if she betrays me?" Fang Yan said gloomily. What the hell was going on here? Why was he and Lu Chaoge a couple again?
"You deserve it."
"—"
By the time Fang Yan and Lu Gong went downstairs, Grandma and Lu Chaoge had already prepared a table full of dishes.
Grandma wiped her hands with a towel, then went up to Fang Yan and whispered, "Did the old man scold you?"
"No," Fang Yan said with a smile. "Grandfather just asked me how I've been and was concerned about my health and my relationship. He couldn't say it in front of you —"
"That stubborn old man —" Grandma grinned. "He's been stubborn all his life. Don't take anything he says to heart."
"Is that how you teach your kid?" Lu Gong flared up again. He had spent his entire life teaching and educating people, so he liked to put his teaching methods into practice on Fang Yan. But his wife was always spoiling him, and every time, she would ruin the correct outlook on life that he had worked so hard to establish for Fang Yan.
"Kid? Fang Yan is old enough to get married and have kids, but he's still a kid in your eyes? "
"Don't you always tell me not to be too hard on him when he's still a kid?"
"That's right — I think he's a kid, but you men still think he's a kid. What kind of logic is that?"
"—"
Fang Yan tried to smooth things over and said with a smile, "Why are there so many dishes today? Is it done? Can we eat now? "
Lu Gong glanced at Fang Yan and said, "Bring some dishes to Qin Ying and the others first, and a basket of steamed buns."
"Okay, I'll bring them over now," Fang Yan said.
He brought over a few dishes and a basket of steamed buns. Qin Ying and the others were overjoyed. They loved the home-cooked food made by Fang Yan's grandmother.
"Come, let's eat too," Grandma said.
Lu Gong was in a good mood today, and he even went to the liquor cabinet to get a bottle of Maotai. "I'll have a glass, and the rest is for Fang Yan —"
Grandma kept putting food into Fang Yan and Lu Chaoge's bowl, and her face lit up when she saw the "young couple" eating happily.
"Fang Yan —" Grandma asked Fang Yan.
Fang Yan looked up at her. "Grandma, what is it? Tell me. "
"I mean, about your marriage with Chaoge —"
Pfft —
Fang Yan spat out the hot chicken soup in his mouth.
