Chapter 331 Running with the Ball
Chapter 331 Running with the Ball
Xu Song was really devastated.
He clearly felt that he was being targeted by someone.The opponent is aggressive, hitting the vital point directly, and will never stop until he is pulled off the horse.
He originally thought that person was Xu Qiao.But thinking of Tengguang's falling stock price these days, Xu Song feels that this is not the case.The old man is still on top of the two of them, how could Xu Qiao do this to him?
If it wasn't Xu Qiao, who could it be?
He couldn't think of an answer.Looking at the entire Acropolis, everyone has cooperated with Tengguang and also competed with Tengguang.They usually call each other brothers and sisters at the wine table, but when the Xu family is in trouble, they all hide away.
The first time he was asked to cooperate with the investigation, Xu Song quickly came out.However, there was a second time after that...
The news reached Xu Wenchang's ears, and the air pressure in the old house became lower and lower.
He turned his gaze to Xu Qiao, sizing up the son consciously or unconsciously.Under his scrutinizing gaze, Xu Qiao had anger on his face, but he was not nervous or guilty.
Xu Song made a big mistake, but Teng Guang can still be saved.As long as he adopts the posture of "a strong man breaks his wrist", cut Xu Song from the group, and let Xu Song bear the consequences alone, Teng Guang can be brought back to life.
Everyone knows this truth.So Xu's mother has been going crazy with anxiety these past few days. As long as Xu Qiao knew about it, she ran to the Lin's house several times and asked Lin Yuanyuan's family to help find someone.However, as far as he knows, Lin Yuanyuan's parents have a vague attitude towards this.
His daughter seems to be planning to live abroad for a long time, and she doesn't plan to come back.Xu Song, the "son-in-law", seemed unreliable.
Should he reconsider the future development of the group and at the same time repair the relationship with his daughter, or continue to hang on the tree of Xu Song?If before, the Lin family might have hesitated—Xu Qiao believed that they should have hesitated for a long time—but now, Xu Song's accident clearly made them determined.
Seeing that no one was going to fish for Xu Song.Not only did he have to bear this incident, many old almanacs that were uncovered during the investigation would also fall on him.As a "completely irrelevant" person, Xu Qiao certainly needn't be nervous.As for anger, without Xu Song, he will inherit the group.Seeing that the assets he will own in the future shrink again and again, who can not be angry?
Xu Wenchang didn't see any clues from his son's face, and Xu Wenchang asked indifferently, "Find out who was working under Ah Song's back then."
Xu Qiao was disappointed.It seems that the old man still does not intend to send his son to prison.
He thought so in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.Xu Qiao nodded, and by the way scolded the person who was fanning the flames behind his back, pretending that he was not promoting it.
After finishing the business, it was time for dinner again.
The whole family came to the dining table, Xu Wenchang sat at the head, and on the left was a long line of people, from Xu Qiao's mother to Xu Qiao's family of three.On the right hand side, there is only a lonely Fang Rui.
In the past few days, Fang Rui has been ignored in various ways, and gradually, he is less willing to go out.
But even though he was a child, he instinctively knew the truth of being under the roof.When the housekeeper came to call, no matter how unhappy Fang Rui was, he still obediently stepped out of the room and came to the dining table.
Fang Rui could feel the ups and downs outside.However, after all, no one told him the specific details.
In Fang Rui's concept, the matter still remained: Dad Xu didn't know what he did to make grandpa angry.Before grandma left, she asked me to find a way to make grandpa happy so that father Xu could come back.
So he mustered up his courage, and when Xu Wenchang asked about Xu Chen's piano practice again, he took out a painting.
It is a children's drawing with no artistic value at all.Among Fang Rui's peers, he might be able to get a compliment.But in the eyes of adults, it is completely childish and without foundation.
He drew Xu Wenchang, and said sweetly, "Grandpa, do you look like me in my picture?"
Xu Wenchang glanced over.Next to him, Xu Qiao and Xu Qiao's wife curled their mouths with disapproval in their eyes.
Unexpectedly, Xu Wenchang's gaze softened a little, and he said, "Is it me? Yes, Rarity has a talent for drawing."
Everyone else was surprised, but Fang Rui had a clear surprise on his face because of these words.
He looked so easy to understand, simple, like a blank sheet of paper.The nervousness before and the happiness now are all revealed in front of Xu Wenchang.
Xu Wenchang also had some feelings.In the past few days, because of Xu Song's incident, he was really in a bad mood.Today, there is a clear solution - to push others out to take the blame - and the mood is finally relieved.Fang Rui also caught up with the good time, so that he, a grandfather, is willing to put aside his work and feel the joy of having his grandchildren.
What's wrong with being childish?Compared with Teng Guang's messy things, the simple-minded Fang Rui is cuter.
Because of this, Xu Wenchang asked an extra question for the first time: "Have you learned it before?"
Fang Rui said, "I've learned it! Dad has enrolled me in painting classes."
As soon as the words came out, he felt a "thump" in his heart.Before grandma left, she said that she would not let herself mention Fang Jia's matter in front of grandpa.But now, he actually said it again.
He was nervous, but Xu Wenchang didn't care about Fang Rui's leak.He turned to the butler, smiled and said, "Find a teacher for the young master."
The housekeeper agreed, and the faces of Xu Qiao's family next to him changed for a moment, and finally turned calm.
What are you afraid of?The old man was just exaggerating.Besides, Fang Rui was so young that he wasn't a threat at all.
Xu Qiao even said a few more words in a playful way, saying that Rarity is very talented in the use of colors, and she might be a painter in the future.
At this time, no one cares whether his subtext is "go learn art, don't think about family property".He revived the atmosphere at the dining table, and Fang Rui was even temporarily assigned a homework, to draw a picture of the garden of the old house.
Fang Rui nodded solemnly.At the same time, his heart beat faster, thinking: Grandpa looks very happy.Then can I mention something about Dad?
He still didn't say it.
Xu Wenchang turned his gaze again and talked about Xu Chen's usual class.As Fang Rui listened, his original joy faded a lot.However, he still doesn't understand that his current mood is called "loneliness".
It doesn't matter.he thought.It's the same tomorrow.
Housekeepers are efficient.The next day, Fang Rui's painting teacher came.
The other party is a graduate of a well-known fine arts university, and now has a painting training class, and has some research in traditional Chinese painting and oil painting.Asking him to teach children's painting is a bit overkill.
However, the teacher is clearly good at teaching.In the next half a day, under the guidance of the other party, Fang Rui learned several ways to draw flowers.When he showed everything on the drawing paper, he was also surprised that it was his own painting.
He has the urge to take the drawing paper and show it to others.If it was in Jiang City, the candidates for the "others" were obviously Fang Jia, or He Jingxing, or other uncles and aunts in the studio.Fang Rui knew that they would happily praise him, and maybe he could even get a meal of braised pork ribs as a reward.
but now--
Fang Rui calmed down a little.He asked the teacher, can he teach himself to draw people?
"Paint people?" The teacher didn't quite understand.
Fang Rui gestured: "A child, an adult."
The teacher understands.He picked up the crayon and daubed it twice in the flowers.Fang Rui's eyes widened. It was hard to imagine that such a simple movement could draw such a clear human figure on paper.
He said, "Well... two more people."
Teacher: "Two more?"
Fang Rui counted with his fingers: "This is me and grandpa, and I still need dad and grandma."
The painting teacher drew it without any objection.Just in time, the butler came over and asked Fang Rui if he would go back to his room for some snacks.Fang Rui asked, and when he was sure that his grandfather would be there, he happily took down the drawing paper and wanted to show it to his grandfather.
This is the method he came up with last night... well, maybe he also got a little bit of experience from Jia Jia.
It's still what Jia Jia said.After her parents divorced, Jiajia would be taken to her mother's place for a period of time every week.At that time, my mother saw her painting.A family of three, happy.The topic assigned by the teacher is "My Wish".
He didn't know why Xu Wenchang was so happy when he saw him.But after looking at the painting, his expression became cold.
Fang Rui was at a loss until he was sent out from Xu's family and arrived at Xu's mother's residence.
The person who sent him was the butler.When she saw the butler, Xu's mother's face burst into joy, and she asked repeatedly: "Are you going to bring Ah Song out? Ah Song will suffer a lot if he is inside! He is the person in charge of Tengguang, so Going down will not be good for Teng Guang..." As he spoke, he saw the housekeeper standing a little to the side, revealing Fang Rui behind him.
Mother Xu's smile suddenly faded.She looked at Fang Rui, and her eyebrows frowned all of a sudden.However, in front of the housekeeper, she still had something to hide, and only said: "Why all of a sudden... Isn't Rarity living well with Grandpa?"
The housekeeper didn't answer, but said, "President Xu asked for it."
Beside him, Fang Rui lowered his head, not daring to look at Xu's mother.
Xu's mother was angry and had no place to vent.After reluctantly sending the butler away, the door closed and only her own people were left, she finally took a deep breath and spoke in annoyance.
"It's really a disaster." Mother Xu said, "Since I came here, nothing good has happened."
Fang Rui trembled violently.
He thought: No, no!Before, grandma clearly said that I was a "lucky star".
