Zheng Gege looked at him confusedly. Lin Musheng explained to her, "According to the custom here, the daughter-in-law should give gold bracelets to change her mind. The more, the heavier, the more her husband's family will value her."
Lin Zhen snorted and ran up the stairs. Not long after, he ran back down. Zheng Gege saw that he was carrying a plastic bag, which was no different from those in the supermarket. Then he walked to her and said, "Here you are!"
"Thank you … Dad." Zheng Gege stammered, not because she was shy, but because the thing in her hand was heavy.
It was a bag full of gold bracelets, which looked like something bought casually in the night market.
"You must have packed the bracelets in the gold shop without looking at them, right?" Lin Musheng rummaged inside and said, "Look at this pattern. It's for the old man, okay?" He picked up one and shook it.
Zheng Gege laughed when she heard that. Then she looked at the finger-thick gold bracelet in his hand, which was carved with the pattern of Fu, Lushou, and Shou. She laughed directly.
"Honey, you go back and choose. If you can't take it, you can go to the gold shop to melt it. Make a set of gold bowls and chopsticks and put it in the restaurant!" Lin Musheng was good at making arrangements. Anyway, he would not leave it to his father.
Lin Zhen waved his hand and said, "Whatever you want." Then he asked Lin Musheng expectantly, "After seeing the girl's, it's time to see mine, right?"
"What's yours?" Lin Musheng asked strangely, "Dad, do you also want to wear a cheongsam?"
"You son of a bitch." Lin Zhen waved his crutch and turned to go upstairs angrily. On the way, he shouted, "I'm not going to the wedding!"
Zheng Gege pushed the gloating man and said, "Why do you make the old man angry? He'll get sick later."
"It's okay. The doctor said to prevent him from getting dementia."
Lin Zhen didn't see his clothes until two days before the wedding. It was a dark purple Tang suit. When the old man took the clothes from Lin Musheng, he deliberately said, "It's so dark. It doesn't look good at all."
"Then don't wear it!" Lin Musheng pretended to take it back. Lin Zhen patted his hand and went upstairs with the clothes.
On the last day of May, Zheng Gege got married. Asha and Zheng Ze looked at the bride in a wedding dress with different expressions.
"Tsk tsk, so beautiful!" Asha touched the embroidery on the wedding dress. "This was embroidered by the best master on my mother's side. Brother Xunxun said that only extraordinary people are qualified to wear this."
Zheng Gege took her hand and said gratefully, "Please thank Auntie Xin for me. She just took care of me because of her leg. When I return home next month, I will visit her in person!"
"Don't mention it!" Asha hugged her. "My mom likes to do these things. She'll only be happy if someone likes her designs!"
Zheng Gege nodded and looked at her brother.
"Sister …" Zheng Ze didn't expect his sister to agree to the marriage so soon. He thought that it could be delayed until next year.
"I'm fine. I'll be happy!" Zheng Gege patted him on the shoulder. "From now on, you have to walk your own life!"
Zheng Ze sniffed. "I will!"
From then on, his sister would belong to another man. He had to work hard to be the best escape route for his sister, so that she could always turn back.
There was a knock on the door and a beautiful man walked in.
"Brother Xunxun!" Asha was held in Wan Qingsi's arms with a smile.
Zheng Gege smiled and said hello. "Mr. Wan."
"Just call me by my name." Wan Qingsi nodded and then touched Asha's belly. "Don't stand for too long. Take care of your body."
Ah Sha was only two months pregnant. If Zheng Gege wasn't Ah Sha's best friend, Wan Qingsi wouldn't have allowed her to come here.
"It's okay! I didn't do anything. " Asha didn't understand the anxious mood of the expectant father at all. Then her eyes suddenly lit up. "Gege, you can have a daughter in the future. Let's be in-laws!"
Zheng Gege asked curiously, "How do you know you're pregnant with a son?"
"My mother has seen a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. It's a boy!"
Wan Qingsi pursed his lips. He didn't want to be in-laws with Lin Musheng, so he changed the topic. "It's time. Let's go out."
The wedding of the Lin family was like a magnificent movie.
The streets were covered with red dresses, and a band playing suona cleared the way. The groom rode a white horse in the front. Behind him, a boy in a Tang suit threw petals. Among the eight people with golden heads and red bodies, the bride was sitting in a wedding dress.
Zheng Gege held an apple in her hand and watched the golden tassel in front of her swaying with the rhythm of the sedan. Her heart gradually calmed down. Through the gap of the sedan curtain, her eyes fell on Lin Musheng. From now on, this man would never leave her. They would live and die together.
The wind blew, as if whispering something. Lin Musheng suddenly looked back.
They looked at each other and smiled. The prosperity of the street faded from the bottom of their eyes.
Choose one to spend the rest of his life with, and the other to grow old …
In the military shooting range, the recruits were in a group, staring at the girl in front of them excitedly.
"How many bullet holes do you think there are today?"
"Five!"
"I guess four!"
A burly man strode over. "You bastards, why are you making noise here instead of practicing? You're not allowed to eat today if you don't use up a box of bullets! "
With a howl, everyone scattered like birds and beasts. The man who drove the others away laughed and his eyes fell on the girl who came over. In the distance, the group of recruits had already rushed to the target to count the bullet holes.
"Uncle Xiong!" The girl took off the protective hat on her head, revealing a delicate and beautiful … expressionless face.
Bear twitched his mouth. "How are you today?"
"Four." Tuan Zi stretched out two fingers. "I haven't made progress for a long time."
"Haha, I'll send you out."
There weren't many people in the world who could hit four bullet holes out of ten bullets. And Miss Jiang's goal was only one!
"Woof! Woof!" The big black dog lying next to the car saw its master and stood up to wag its tail.
Tuan Zi touched its head and opened the door. Bear looked at Hei Zi, who was half a man high, with pity. This was the difference between a human and a dog. Hei Zi was already 10 years old. Tuan Zi stopped letting it participate in tasks two years ago.
Everyone knew that Hei Zi could live for another five years at most, but Tuan Zi never mentioned it, so they pretended not to know. But in fact, Scar had begun to choose Hei Zi's offspring to train, preparing to be Hei Zi's substitute.
The car slowly drove out of the army. The driver was a young soldier with delicate features.
"The chief just called and asked you to go home quickly."
Tuan Zi nodded. "Okay, go home."
The young man swallowed his saliva and stared at the steering wheel. He kept encouraging himself, "It's okay. It's just that my face is the same as the chief's. I'm not the chief's. Don't be nervous, don't be nervous …"
But even the expression was the same as that of the chief's. How could it be a burden? Who could tell him why a girl less than 18 years old was so expressionless?!
"Are you back?" Chen Chen walked out of the kitchen and asked again.
Jiang Rui took over the plate in his hand. "She's on the way."
This was the hilltop villa area in the east of the city. The whole family moved here when Jiang Rui was two or three years old. The security here was the best in the capital. Of course, it couldn't be compared with the military compound. But Jiang Rui didn't want to live there.
He didn't want his son to contact the army at a young age. Three generations of the Jiang family had been in the army. His daughter was destined to walk the same path as him. He only had one son left. He hoped that he could have a different life. Jiang Min had passed away five years ago and had passed away peacefully.
As for Song Chunli, she had gone crazy when the terrorists were wiped out. Chen Chen said that the person who hypnotized her was dead, so her brain was also affected. Maybe it was a coincidence that Song Chunli also passed away in the second month after Jiang Min left.
When Tuan Zi entered the house, she saw Chen Chen sitting shyly in Jiang Rui's arms. Her mouth was red and swollen. She knew what they had just done.
"It's not bad to have a younger sister." She joked with a serious face.
Chen Chen got down from Jiang Rui's arms with a red face. She was in her thirties but still looked like a little girl. Her face didn't match her age. She was well protected by Jiang Rui. When they went out, others always thought that they were sisters.
"Come and eat some fruit." Jiang Rui changed the topic and threw an envelope on the table.
Tuan Zi sat on the sofa and Hei Zi naturally lay at her feet. "What's that?"
Chen Chen said excitedly, "It's good. Have a look!"
It was an invitation letter.
It was the most advanced Coming of Age ceremony in America. The girls who could attend this ceremony were all selected. Even if they were rich or powerful, they might not be able to attend. They selected girls based on their comprehensive qualities. Tuan Zi was the only one in the country who had received an invitation.
"I haven't been there …" Chen Chen curled her lips.
Jiang Rui pinched her little face. "Weren't you hiding from me when you were 18?"
"So! My daughter has to go! " Chen Chen took Tuan Zi's hand. "It is said that the daughters of the presidents of several countries also attended last year. Will you go?"
She was afraid that Tuan Zi would refuse.
She was so cute when she was a child. But somehow, the older she grew, the more she looked like Jiang Rui. Only their faces were similar, but now even their expressions and temperaments were the same. In Bear's words, Tuan Zi was a female version of Jiang Rui!
Chen Chen complained more than once and wanted her lovely daughter to come back. But what did Jiang Rui say?
"Isn't our son like you? It's enough to have two idiots in the family. "
Bullseye! The second son of the Jiang family was named Tang Yuan and his full name was Jiang Minglang. The name was given by Jiang Rui. He hoped that Tang Yuan could live the life he wanted freely and not be restrained by anything. So the child was also raised freely when he was a child.
Fortunately for Jiang Rui and the Wan family, the child didn't have the same ability as Tuan Zi. Although his IQ was higher than ordinary children, he probably inherited more of Chen Chen's genes and often did some stupid things.
"Mom, you want me to go?" Tuan Zi was still expressionless and picked up a piece of watermelon.
Chen Chen nodded fiercely. Anyway, she had never cared about her image in front of her daughter. She said pitifully, "Go, go! What a good life experience it is. It can't be bought with money! "
"Go." Jiang Rui was a standard wife slave and made the decision for his daughter.
Tuan Zi shrugged. "Then go!"
Chen Chen happily went to pack her luggage, leaving the father and daughter to talk in the living room.
"It's good to go out and have fun. Don't stay in the army every day." Jiang Rui was worried about his daughter. How did she grow up like this?
Tuan Zi nodded. "Who will go with me?"
It was impossible for Jiang Rui to go abroad with his identity, and he was more worried about Chen Chen going out alone.
"Wen Pintang." Jiang Rui glanced at her. "Your partner is Wen Zeyu."
Tuan Zi didn't respond. She didn't know any other men except Wen Zeyu.
"You still don't know why he left?" Four years ago, Wen Zeyu suddenly proposed to study in the US. No one knew what happened between the two little guys.
"I don't know." Tuan Zi really didn't know. At that time, Wen Zeyu suddenly asked if she would be sad if he left. Tuan Zi shook her head at that time. Unexpectedly, he left the next day. She called him, but Wen Zeyu's attitude didn't change.
"I also have to work hard to be a man worthy of you. You have to be obedient when I'm not with you!"
Seeing that he was fine, Tuan Zi didn't ask more questions. After that, she didn't contact Wen Zeyu again. She didn't even call him. But every year on her birthday and special occasions, she would receive gifts from Wen Zeyu.
The invitation indicated that the Coming of Age Ceremony would be held at the end of the next month, but they needed to be there one week in advance for confirmation. Tuan Zi was taken back to S City by Chen Chen. Xin Qing was asked to design a traditional Chinese dress and jewelry for Tuan Zi. That was Jiang Rui's request. She represented the country when she went abroad, so she naturally had to wear traditional national costumes.
When Tang Yuan, who was ten years old, knew that his sister was going abroad, it was already the day before the departure.
"I want to go too!" He hid in the suitcase and didn't come out.
Tuan Zi said calmly, "Dad won't let you go."
"Put me in the suitcase!" Tang Yuan looked at her eagerly. "Anyway, it's the Wen family's plane. It won't pass the security check."
"No." Tuan Zi refused him.
Tang Yuan said angrily, "Why?"
"Because you're too heavy."
"…"
Jiang Rui had just taken off his wife's pajamas when the door was pushed open.
"Mom! I want to go with my sister! Let's go together! "Tang Yuan rushed in while wiping his nose. When he was about to climb onto the bed, he saw his mother hiding in the quilt and looking at him sympathetically. Jiang Rui got off the bed with a dark face.
Tang Yuan stammered, "I … I'm sorry … I … I didn't mean to not knock on the door. Ah! Mom, save me. Dad … Dad, I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to not knock on the door again! "
The child was crying miserably while being carried out by his father.
Tuan Zi didn't come out until she heard no sound. Unsurprisingly, she found her brother who had been punished to stand for an hour in the storage room downstairs.
"This place is also your private territory." Tuan Zi patted Tang Yuan's shoulder.
This was the place where Jiang Rui punished them. Whoever made a mistake would be locked up here as a punishment. But only Tang Yuan had this treatment because Tuan Zi had never made a mistake.
"Sister, you must be adopted by mom. Am I not your biological brother? Take me with you! "Tang Yuan still didn't give up.
Tuan Zi glanced at him. "If one of us is not biological, it must be you. I look the same as dad. What about you? "
"I …" Tang Yuan burst into tears.
Yes, he didn't look like Jiang Rui or Chen Chen. It should be said that he had completely inherited the advantages of his parents. His eyes were like Chen Chen's, his mouth was like Jiang Rui's, and he was more beautiful than his parents. But because of this, he cried for a long time when he saw Tuan Zi who looked exactly like Jiang Rui when he was sensible.
The young Tang Yuan thought that since his sister looked like his father, he should look like his mother. But why didn't he look like anyone? At that time, Wen Zeyu comforted him and told him that he would look like his mother when he grew up. Unfortunately, Tang Yuan, who was waiting for him to grow up, found that the more he looked like his mother, the less he looked like his mother …
"But you must be my biological brother." Tuan Zi added, "Because your brain is very similar to mom's."
Tang Yuan cried. No wonder his sister had no friends. Who would be willing to be her friend with such a sharp tongue?
No matter how Tang Yuan cried and acted shamelessly, he was mercilessly rejected in the end. Chen Chen was soft-hearted and wanted to let him go, but she was stopped by Jiang Rui's eyes and Tuan Zi's words.
"Do you want him to send him abroad? Let everyone know that the young master of the Jiang family is a fool? "
After Tuan Zi got on the plane and left, Chen Chen came to her senses and held Jiang Rui in her arms.
"Your daughter said that I was a fool …"
"Good girl, she was talking about Tang Yuan."
Tang Yuan said, "But dad, you often say that I'm the same as mom!"
So, Tang Yuan stood in the storage room again …
On the private plane of the Wen family, Tuan Zi stared at the white clouds outside and suddenly turned to ask Wen Pintang.
"Uncle, why did Little Ze leave?"
The man in front of her was nearly sixty years old, but he was still elegant. However, time had precipitated a purer and more ethereal temperament on him. If someone didn't know him, they would definitely think that he was a hermit master.
Wen Pintang was reading documents. Hearing Tuan Zi's words, he smiled at her and said, "I thought you wouldn't ask this question."
He had been gone for four years, and now she asked …
"Because I'm going to see him soon." Tuan Zi said seriously, "Know yourself and know your enemy."
Alas! Wen Pintang sighed silently. How did this girl grow up like this?
Tuan Zi knew that he was melancholy from his eyes. In the past few years, everyone looked at her with this kind of eyes, and she had been used to it.
"I don't know either!" Wen Pintang rubbed her head and said, "Many things are only interesting when you understand and discover them by yourself." Seeing that the girl in front of him was still frowning, he added, "Tuan Zi, you can take it as a task."
"Task?"
"Yes." Wen Pintang said, "What happened four years ago that made Little Ze leave you? You have to find out the secret by yourself! "
Tuan Zi suddenly had the fighting spirit. She clenched her fists and said, "I see!" Then she continued to look out of the window.
After a while, Wen Pintang couldn't help but ask again.
"Tuan Zi, when are you going to marry into my family?"
He thought that it was better to have a plan first, so that his son could feel at ease later.
"Well, isn't this your decision?" Tuan Zi looked at him with a "why are you asking me?"
Wen Pintang smiled and said, "Haha, yes, yes!"
Son, you have a long way to go. Take care …
Late at night, the library was ablaze with lights. This was the world's top university. Presidents and politicians of many countries graduated from here. Even this library was ranked at the top of the world's architectural rankings.
In a seat near the window, an Asian man was looking out of the window with his chin in his hands.
"So handsome!"
"Yes, yes!"
There were discussions from time to time. Every time a girl walked by, she would stare at the man for a long time like a love-struck fool.
As soon as Ellie Lisa came in, her eyes fell on the man, and she glared at the girls around her. Everyone lowered their heads and avoided her. No one wanted to be stared at by this young lady. Then there was always someone who was not afraid of trouble. A brown-haired beauty came in from the door.
"No wonder everyone left. You are here."
Ellie Lisa suddenly glared back and said, "Shila, don't think that I am afraid of you. If your father were not in the parliament, I would have driven you out of school."
"Hahaha!" The girl named Shila smiled and said, "Ellie Lisa, don't be a pot calling the kettle black. You can stand here and behave atrociously. Is it because of your own ability? I got in because of my own ability. What about you? You are just relying on your father who is a general. Otherwise, you can't get into an ordinary university with your IQ. "
Seeing that the two girls were about to fight, the man by the window moved. He went straight to the door without looking at Ellie Lisa and Shila.
"Senior Wen!" Ellie Lisa stopped him.
Wen Zeyu turned around and said, "What's the matter?"
His handsome facial features were even more dazzling under the light. His long and narrow phoenix eyes were like a pool of moonlight. As his eyes moved, they scattered broken diamonds all over the ground. After growing up, Wen Zeyu had inherited Wen Pintang's noble and elegant temperament. But his eyes were like his mother's, gorgeous and ostentatious.
"Can you be my partner for the coming of age ceremony next week?" Ellie Lisa walked over and stared at the man.
At the opening ceremony, she was fascinated by Wen Zeyu when she saw him for the first time. When she knew that his identity and background were enough to match her, she began to pursue him. Unfortunately, there was no progress for more than a year.
However, as long as Wen Zeyu did not have a woman around him, she would slowly guard him until this man belonged to her.
"Ha!" Shila showed a mocking expression and said, "Idiot."
Ellie Lisa gritted her teeth. She did not want to quarrel with this woman in front of Wen Zeyu. Her purpose today was to let Wen Zeyu be her partner.
"Senior Wen, can I?"
Wen Zeyu turned and left. "No."
Ellie Lisa did not react for a while. When Wen Zeyu went out, she was ready to chase him, but was stopped by Shila.
"What are you doing? Get out of my way. "
Shila shook her head and said, "Senior Wen has refused you. Do you think he will change his mind if you chase him?"
Thinking of Wen Zeyu's usual behavior, Ellie Lisa was sad and angry. She pushed Shila away and said, "What are you proud of? Even if he refuses me, he will not be your partner." Then she ran away.
