Chapter 31
That night, Lian Jue didn't sleep well, and it seemed that she had returned to that summer in her dream.
Lian Jue had just finished an inexplicable interview. After walking out of the cold and beautiful building, he took the bus back with a few boys who participated in the interview.
Children from welfare homes rarely have the opportunity to come to such a grand place, let alone the exaggerated show that they had only watched on TV during the interview just now. Several people kept chattering since they got in the car.
Lian Jue was a little motion sick. He had found the first row of seats by the window, but he felt noisy, so he got up and walked to the corner of the car.
The bus was walking on the rural road, which was very slow. It was the next afternoon when he returned to Wenyang Children's Welfare Center.
Wenyang was originally a rainy city, but now it is summer and there are almost no sunny days.
Getting off the bus and stepping into the mud, he frowned at the pair of white-washed sneakers on his feet.
At that time, he was not called Lian Jue, or he was not worthy of being called "Liang" Jue.
According to the dean, he was not two years old when he was thrown at the gate of the welfare home, and he couldn't even say his own name, let alone his surname. Everyone in the hospital called him "Xiao Jue".
He is already fifteen years old this year, and he is already very old in the welfare home and is tall. Most of the clothes sent by donors are for younger children, so there is not much clothing for him to match the size, and there is no room for pickiness.
The shoes were sent by volunteers last spring. The toe was a little squeezed, but it was the closest size he could wear.
When I returned to the dormitory, I put down my clothes. Someone came over and called him, saying that the dean was looking for him.
"Xiao Jue." The dean put the meal brought from the cafeteria on his desk and asked him to sit down, "I'll just come back, have some food first."
Lian Jue took the bus for one night a day and was actually not very entertaining, but he still said thank you and sat down and picked up the chopsticks.
The dean first asked, "How is it over there?" and then asked him "who have you seen?" Lian Jue shook his head and couldn't explain clearly.
The dean asked again: "How do they feel about you?"
Lian Jue recalled the expressions of an adult on the other side during the next trial and inferred: "It should be satisfactory."
The dean nodded thoughtfully and said he knew.
Later, the dean pulled him to talk a lot. Maybe he was speechless when he first came, and he became so tall in a blink of an eye. He was smart and healthy, so why did he be retired repeatedly for so many years?
Lian Jue said nothing, finished the meal, said goodbye to the dean, and left with the empty plate.
He wants to go back and have a good night's sleep than to hear the dean say this.
He was too tired and ate a bit cold meal when he was very uncomfortable, and now he wanted to vomit.
Lian Jue was licensed to not have to participate in the daily activities of the welfare home in the afternoon. He lay in bed and felt dizzy.
He recalled the interview situation of the dean just asked him, and then the people who seemed to be very satisfied with him, and then his stomach tightened unbearably, and he lay on the edge of the bed and started vomiting.
Lian Jue made a lot of preparations for this interview at the request of the dean. Before leaving, the dean repeatedly emphasized: "This is an opportunity that only the best children can get, and you must seize it."
The dean's words were not exaggerating. Lian Jue knew a month ago that he had won a good ranking in the national examination for the New Year. He was taken to do a meticulous physical examination, which was more comprehensive than the physical examination he had taken to the hospital by his adopted person. Later, he received a notice to go to Yi City for an interview. He thought in a daze, why? No one explained to him.
It was not until a week after the interview that a car that seemed very expensive was driving into the welfare home that he realized that it was just a more special way of adoption than others.
Lian Jue was asked not to take anything, got on the car alone, and said goodbye to the dean and the nurse through the window.
The person who came to pick him up asked strangely: "Don't you talk to them for a while?"
Lian Jue said: "No."
The man glanced at him in surprise and urged the driver to set off as soon as possible.
The time to go to Yi City again was much shorter than that he had taken the bus before, maybe because the car was faster or because he took the highway this time.
The car drove into the Chen family courtyard, Lian Jue followed him to get out of the car, walked through the corridor that made him feel unusually long, went up to the second floor, and entered a large study room.
That was the first time Lian Jue met Chen Chulian.
At that time, Chen Chulian was still young, at least his back was straight, and he was sitting behind a wide desk, looking down at the documents in his hand.
Maybe it was because he was adopted and abandoned more times. Lian Jue didn’t have any special thoughts when he saw his new adopter. Chen Chulian obviously had the same thing. He just raised his eyes and glanced at Lian Jue roughly and said, “Here you come.”
Lian Jue didn't know what to say, so he simply said nothing. The person next to him spoke for him and said to Chen Chulian: "I'm fifteen years old, and I should go to my second year of high school at the beginning of school."
Chen Chu said "yes".
"The school has been found, and I will take him to register for the household registration tomorrow." The man paused and asked, "Sir, what's your name? Is Chen Jue?"
"It's fifteen?" Chen Chu asked repeatedly.
"right."
Chen Chu didn't even raise his head, and his attention was still on his work, and said coldly: "I'm not a child anymore, so what's your surname doesn't matter."
The man understood what he meant and said, "Then..."
The phone on the table rang, and Chen Chu raised his hand to stop him and answered the phone.
After the phone was hung up, Chen Chulian suddenly stood up, as if there was something urgent to go out, so he hurriedly left a sentence "It's OK, you can do it." and was about to leave.
Before leaving the door, he passed Lian Jue by his side. Lian Jue turned his lower body slightly, trying to give up the position at the door.
Chen Chulian stopped for a moment, and for the second time he looked at Lian Jue. He seemed very dissatisfied with his small movements, and frowned and asked, "I'm afraid of me?"
"Not afraid." Lian Jue stared at him.
Perhaps his neither humble nor arrogant attitude pleased Chen Chulian. Chen Chulian smiled, patted his shoulder, turned his head to the man just now and said, "What did you just say his name?"
"Small tip."
"Well..." Chen Chulian thought for a while and asked Lian Jue, "What's your father's surname?"
Lian Jue said I don’t have a dad.
Chen Chu kept "hmm" for a while, and asked the man behind him as if he was looking for advice: "Is it called Chu Jue?"
The man opened his mouth and wanted to speak but stopped. After Chen Chulian asked "If you have something to say", hesitated and said: "The execution seems to be unlucky..."
Chen Chulian did not make much trouble on this matter and quickly made a decision: "Then it's the secret."
"Okay sir."
...
This dream was done too carefully. When Lian Jue woke up, he felt his stomach cramps, like when he just got off the bus that year.
He turned on the lamp at the head of the bed and sat on the head of the bed for a while. He found that his stomach pain was not relieved in half, and then he suddenly remembered that he didn't eat anything last night.
Lian Jue is not a person who likes to mess with his body, and the three meals are still regular, so there is no standard stomach disease for successful people - you will feel uncomfortable now and you will have a high chance of being hungry.
He suddenly remembered that when he went to the villa in the evening, Chen Tingwei seemed to have just cooked vegetables, which made the house full of smell.
I didn't pay attention at that time, but now I think Chen Ting is not a good cook. Before Chen Ting went upstairs to change his clothes, Lin Chen seemed to be able to help but praise the crucian carp tofu soup that smelled very fresh.
But he just ate this?
Lian Jue has no experience in caring for pregnant women, and he can't help but feel that only one soup for dinner is too simple, so he thought that he would still have to find a nanny to take care of him.
The screen of the mobile phone placed at the bedside lights up.
Pick up the Lian Jue, and there was a WeChat message from Chen Ningxue in the message prompt-
I'm back.
During the time when the chat window is unlocked, the message has become [the other party has withdrawn].
Lian Jue looked at the time and it was less than five o'clock. It was obvious that she didn't sleep well that night.
He did not reply immediately. When he got up, Lian Jue opened her circle of friends and saw a state that seemed quite happy. It was posted five minutes ago. The photo was a glass of ice American and a plane ticket with the background in the waiting room and said, "I have no nostalgia. Friends from Country B wait for me to land and miss you."
It wasn't the usual breakfast time, but Lian Jue was very hungry and decided to make something for yourself.
Maybe the sound of walking disturbed the aunt. The aunt came out of the room and said, "Why did sir get up so early today?"
She took the ingredients she had just taken out of the refrigerator from Lian Jue: "Leave it to me, I'll make it, it'll be fine soon."
During breakfast, he replied to Chen Ningxue with a message and said that the journey was smooth sailing.
But he has been blocked.
This did not affect Lian Jue's mood of eating. He put his phone aside and suddenly asked the aunt: "What should pregnant women eat?"
The aunt was stunned for a moment: "Sir, this is..."
"There will be one more child at home next year," Lian Jue said, "If there is no accident."
The aunt's thoughts were still in the environment where she was born. After reacting to Lian Jue's meaning, her expression was a little strange, and she seemed to be unable to understand his bad behavior. After answering Lian Jue's question, she asked worriedly: "Do you need my help to take care of me?"
Lian Jue did originally intend to hire an aunt for Chen Tingwei again, but then he thought that Chen Tingwei had fired a part-time job before, and maybe he didn't want others to know about his physical condition, so he decided to ask Chen Tingwei for his opinion.
"Not needed for the time being," he said.
Seeing that the aunt was still standing still, Lian Jue asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
After looking at him for a while, the aunt couldn't help but remind her in a tactful way: "You can find an opportunity to tell Tongtong. It's not easy to hide such a big thing from the child."
Lian Jue accepted her suggestion and said, "It's time later."
Today is the weekend, and Lian Jue consciously gave himself a vacation.
He hasn't had a good rest since he graduated from college. He plans to spend his time today on sleeping and exercise.
But this tranquility did not last long and was interrupted by a transatlantic phone call.
Lian Jue listened to the slightly rushed report on the other side, frowned and completely turned off the slower treadmill.
After the phone was hung up, Lian Jue called Lin Chen: "Help me book a flight to S Country as fastest."
Lin Chen keenly noticed something and asked quickly: "Is there something wrong with the overseas company?"
Lian Jue has worked for the Chen family for many years, but now he is determined to break up with the Chen family, so he will naturally not have any backstop. The "backs" have problems at this critical moment, and the mastermind behind the scenes are self-evident.
Lin Chen asked: "Mr. Lian, do you need my company?"
Lian Jue thought for a moment and said, "You stay and look forward to Chen Tingwei."
