C10 (2/2)
Cheng Hanlong walked over. Cheng Cheng pulled Cheng Hanlong's arm and shook it for a while, then used his small hand to wipe the seat for Cheng Hanlong. Brother, quickly sit down! ” Cheng Cheng was so scared that he patted the seat. The moment Cheng Hanlong sat down, Cheng Cheng looked at the length of his legs and saw that they were very interesting. Brother, look, it's so fun! ” Cheng Hanlong was envious when he saw Ye Zichen's simple-minded look. It was still good to be a child, not knowing anything.
”Hanlong, the reason we're eating together this time is to tell you something.” Aunt Cheng's face showed an apologetic expression.
”I know, you're going to get a divorce, right?” Cheng Hanlong looked calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil. He had expected that the gathering today would be about that, so he had been prepared for it.
”It really is my son. There's no snot or tears.” Cheng Shi looked at Cheng Hanlong and smiled.
”Cheng Shi, you really think highly of yourself. What right does he have to cry for your snot?” A wry smile appeared on the corner of Aunt Cheng's mouth. Cheng Shi glanced at her, but didn't say anything. He also didn't refute her. It was as if the man's words meant nothing to him.
Cheng Hanlong knew that this day would come sooner or later, but after hearing it with his own eyes, he still couldn't bear it anymore. It was true that he did not need to cry, but only he himself could feel the moment of truth. He wished that someone could deny it. Even if the family lived and died, even if it was just a divorce, it was only a formality. But once it was decided, it meant that it would never be complete again.
”Here, son, have a drink with Dad. When I was your age, I used to help people over the liquor table. Do you see this bottle of wine? Not many people in Beijing had tasted it. Dad specifically ordered it for you. ” Aunt Cheng immediately stood up and blocked Cheng Shi's hand that was about to pick up Cheng Hanlong's glass. Cheng Hanlong looked at Cheng Shi, then at Aunt Cheng, but still accepted the glass of wine.
”Well, I think we should have a drink on such a rare day. The last time we were together was the day of my grandmother's funeral. It's been four years, so we have to celebrate. ” Cheng Hanlong poured himself a full cup and was about to drink it.
At this moment, Cheng Cheng suddenly turned around and tried his best to snatch the cup from Cheng Hanlong. A glass of wine spilled onto Cheng Hanlong's leg. Before he could react, Liu Tie had already slapped Cheng Cheng in the back. With a ”pa” sound, the whole room became extremely quiet and everyone stopped moving.
The first one to react was Aunt Cheng. She pulled Cheng Cheng, who had been knocked down, into her arms. Cheng Cheng's face soon swelled up, both sides of his face looking out of place. Aunt Cheng massaged Cheng Cheng's face in pain. Cheng Cheng's body trembled violently due to his anger. He had always been dishonest in Aunt Cheng's arms. He searched anxiously, trying to find a place to stab himself.
”So indiscernible at such a young age!” A lesson is to enlighten my son, and to do my duty as a father. Let him understand from a young age what is his and what is not his. ” Cheng Shi was leisurely smoking and didn't think that it was anything special.
Cheng Hanlong stood up and walked straight to Aunt Cheng. He carried Wu Tie over and comforted him gently for the first time. He patted his back and gradually stopped panicking. Cheng Hanlong looked up. ”Dad, is that all you can see in your eyes?”
”Yeah, so what? Hanlong, you're too young. ”So you don't like everything about me, and one day you will become the person you despise today.”
”I won't! Because I was raised by my mother. ”
”You won't, you will! ”Because you are my son, you have to follow the root. No matter how much you accept good nourishment, you can't change the fact that you grow something.” Cheng Hanlong carried Cheng Cheng and walked out. Aunt Cheng took a last look at Cheng Shi and also carried her bag as she walked out. Liu Tie silently smoked as he watched their backs. He picked up the remaining half bottle and gulped it down. He picked up his phone and dialed a number.
”Li Zhongxin, I'm tired. Hurry up and come pick me up.”
”Cheng Shi …” Cheng Shi did not listen to what Li Zhongxin said after that. When Li Zhongxin came over, Cheng Shi was already asleep on the seat. Li Zhongxin didn't wake him up, instead, he directly grabbed his arm and carried him on his shoulder and carried him out.
