Chapter 299 Go Home

"Long time no see, grandpa."

After Ai Qing went to study in London, she had not seen her great-grandfather for seven years, but after seven years of absence, her words did not have the warmth that others expected, but were indifferent almost like hatred.

Yin Liangji listened to her words calmly, looked around nonchalantly, and finally, his eyes fell on her table.

The card embedded in the crystal photo frame.

Even with his back to the photo frame, he can still imagine what kind of picture is on it.

"This should be your most proud masterpiece, right?" He nodded clearly, expressing his approval: "Your vision is much better than mine... You have been away from home for so many years, Xiaoqing, you really have achieved something."

Ai Qing looked down at the radiant face on the screen, and couldn't help laughing.

"What's the matter? Grandpa, do you regret it?"

"Ah, yes."

The old man nodded earnestly: "If I had expected such an achievement, I should have raised this child at the beginning. It's a pity that after I met his parents, I was already disappointed in their family... is my biggest omission and I should think twice.

To put it bluntly, I shouldn't have cared too much about the so-called face in the past, just cut the weeds and rooted them out... It's a pity that I'm not as smart as you, and I didn't understand this until now. "

He sighed softly.

"Unfortunately, there is no chance now—"

Ai Qing turned the pen indifferently, appreciating the undisguised frustration and annoyance on the old man's face, just like watching the tears of a crocodile: "From when he became the third runner-up of the rookie, no, before he stepped into the rookie game, when he became the sublimation You should think of this day when

When Qi Wen's death alerted you, it was already too late.

He is already an official member of the Astronomical Society, a newcomer favored by the four major legions, and a latecomer who has already made arrangements for both the Governing Bureau and the Survival Academy. Even after leaving the Astronomical Society, Dongxia's genealogy will become his backing without hesitation.

After he advances from the 'Tower of Ivory', one day he will climb up the ladder of the Astronomical Society and become an indispensable backbone in the genealogy of today's country, and a shadow that will always hang over the Yin Family. "

"Do you know, Xiaoqing... I really miss the way you and him cooperate so well."

Yin Liangji seemed to be distracted, like countless elderly people, thinking about the past years: "When Huai Guang was still there, we used to work together like you. Huai and Yin are inseparable. With him The execution is determined by me, and the two of us have worked together to make the layout, and it has never been disadvantageous... It is a pity that Huai Guang died early, too early.

If he hadn't died, wouldn't all of this be like this now? You don't need to wait for your generation, the Yin family can complete ZTE from my hand, and that idiot Huaiguang will definitely be able to realize his dream, becoming one of the most famous hell explorers, and being printed on the Wanshi card. "

"..."

"The so-called life is such a fragile thing, but everything in this world is more fragile than life."

Yin Liangji raised his finger with age spots, and tapped his crutch: "Good things in the world are not firm, but colorful clouds are easy to scatter and glass is brittle... This world is too easy to change, but it is easy to change it in just a few years." Everything that used to be smoothed out.

In the end, he became the episode, and I, got the success. "

Ai Qing was indifferent and didn't speak, but Yin Liangji raised his eyes.

His cloudy eyes were full of solemnity and indifference. He was obviously an old man who was so rickety that he was worried about falling when he walked, but now he seemed to be looking down on Ai Qing.

Looking at his ignorant great-granddaughter.

"You're laughing at my hypocrisy, aren't you, Xiaoqing?"

Yin Liangji said: "You are always obsessed with appearances, but you can't look at the big picture.

I know what you want to say, but it's nothing more than the insignificant moral condemnation that I embezzled the Huai family's assets-to be honest, this should be the most correct decision I have made since Huai Guang's death.

After all, isn't what I'm doing a normal business competition? Even competition dozens of times dirtier than this exists in the world, right? What do you think I should do?

When the two parties who were already closely tied together suddenly have a fatal omission, should we give up the lofty goal and let everyone sink together, or sacrifice one's last legacy to give the other a chance to succeed?

Is it because he used to be my friend that I can't buy his property? Just because we were friends, I don't deserve success?

If you let others do it, they will only be colder and crueler than me! Compared with such a huge property, any kind of elegance and etiquette are insignificant, they will only be more vicious and ugly, and they will not even spare Huai Shi's life.

That's right, I watched his parents do it to themselves and end up eating it themselves. But you have to be clear, Xiaoqing—whose pity has allowed him to live until now. "

Ai Qing couldn't help but sneered, "You can try to reason with him, if you think he will save your life then."

"I will, even if he won't listen."

The old man said calmly: "For the family, is there any need to say which is more important than a dying old man and a promising rookie?

I can kneel in front of him, beg for his forgiveness, let go of my dignity and backbone, flatter me like a dog, endure the shame, and do my own thing. If he still doesn't feel relieved, I can stretch my neck and let him chop me. It doesn't matter even if you lose your bones.

But so what? "

Looking at Ai Qing's froze expression for a moment, he shook his head in disappointment: "It's just a death, is there any need to make a fuss? Xiao Qing, apart from your age, do you really have to grow up at all these years?

If the perspective cannot be elevated and the overall situation cannot be overlooked, no matter how smart one is, it is nothing more than 'smartness' and cannot be called wisdom.

And you are so smart that you are too smart... You are always making the most appropriate choice, but sometimes the most appropriate choice is often not the best.

Let's say you've lost your best chance for revenge. "

Looking at the young lady's gloomy expression, the old man laughed regretfully: "The current Yin family, even without me, would it really be ruined?

Don't you see it too? That child of Yin Ya, although he doesn't have the foresight and wisdom like you, but as the Patriarch who supports the family, he is naturally generous. Now that the Yin family has got rid of the bloody period of capital accumulation, a benevolent young man with a heart is a more suitable choice for the head of the family than an annoying old man like me.

In other words, from the moment he advanced, the smooth revenge you were looking forward to has no meaning—because from that moment on, my life and death have become a trivial matter. "

The old man told him sincerely: "This is the meaning of family, Xiaoqing, each of us is an insignificant dust, but when dust gathers together, we can make a difference and have meaning.

We use blood as a bond to each other, place trust and authority, and expect to make up for our own shortcomings and set foot on a higher peak. For this goal, all members are expendable, "

"Including your parents, including me," he said.

Crack!

An angry breaking sound burst from Ai Qing's hand, the pen broke, and the ink flowed out from the fingertips, with a trace of bright red.

Words from great-grandfather, with a mockery bordering on humiliation.

A temptation, no, it should be said, a torture that left no room for it.

If the person standing in your way of revenge was not me, but the only elder brother who took care of you—Yin Ya, what choice would you make?

If one day, Yin Ya becomes Huai Shi's enemy, how can you humiliately obey the enemy's wishes and convince your "tool of revenge" to only kill the evil one?

When the time comes, will this old thing be ready to kill as he said?

No, there will only be more arrangements and more conspiracies waiting for me, right?

"You see, I already told you."

The old man stared at her helplessly: "This world is too easy to change. Your relationship is such a fragile thing, just like the friendship between Huaiguang and me - because in the final analysis, we are all the same people, and there has never been a relationship between us." what a difference."

"In the past, I valued you so much that I even wanted you to replace Yin Ya and continue this family. Otherwise, why would I send you to study in London? But even so, it shouldn't be the reason for your reckless actions."

"It's time for the rebellious period to pass, Xiaoqing."

In the dead silence, he kindly said to Ai Qing: "You should do your duty."

Ai Qing didn't speak, just looked at him indifferently.

Only hasty footsteps sounded from outside the door.

"what happened?"

Chai Fei pushed the door open and asked in astonishment: "Why did the head of the branch suddenly give you a suspension...Uh, sorry for the interruption."

Seeing the indifferent grandparents and grandchildren in the office, she reacted, put the notice on Ai Qing's desk, and hurried away.

Before leaving, she glanced at Ai Qing through the crack of the door, anxiously waiting for an answer.

But Ai Qing didn't look at her, as if she didn't notice her coming at all. He just stared at his great-grandfather silently, expressionless.

She sighed and the door closed.

"It's really your style, grandpa, can even the victim's daughter be used as a pawn?"

In the silence, Ai Qing let go of her fingers, threw the broken pen into the basket, took out a tissue, wiped the ink in her hands, and suddenly asked: "Have you really thought about the consequences?"

"Don't worry." Yin Liangji replied irrelevantly, "Since I let you go home, I will definitely not let you have any worries."

"Just so eager to put me to use?"

"After all, the day after tomorrow is my 100th birthday, so I have to celebrate it." Yin Liangji calmly replied, "Don't worry, I've met him before. Although the Chollima of the Cui family in Bingzhou was born blind, it's not considered a I am sorry for you."

"A blind man and a lame sound like a good match."

"Who said it wasn't?"

The old man stared quietly at the fading sunlight outside the window.

At dusk, the clear bells echoed in the sky of the distant school, and the noise gradually rose from the road.

It's time for the kids to go home.

I'm sorry, I've been thinking about it for a day, but I'm still Calvin, let me think about it again...
