Yuan Zhen

Chapter 27 Negotiations

Cheng Duo was in the office, after listening to Secretary Luo's report on today's work tasks, he picked up his phone and replied to the message Yuan Xiao had just sent him.

But her thoughts have already drifted back to the day after Yuan Xiao just moved back to Yuan's house.

Cheng Duo sat in the restaurant and waited for ten minutes before Yuan Tu arrived late.

The moment Yuan Tu took off his shoes and stepped on the tatami, he took off the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, rubbed his nose bone and said to Cheng Duo, "I'm sorry, work is a bit tricky, so I'm delayed."

The corners of Cheng Duo's lips kept a little curved, indicating that it's okay.

The two sat down at the low table facing each other, and just glanced at each other, they already knew the topic of today's conversation.

Cheng Duo raised his hand and poured Yuan Tu a glass of sake, and then filled his own glass.

"Let's have a drink first. After drinking the wine, we can talk about anything." Cheng Duo picked up his glass.

Yuan Tu did not hesitate.

The wine glasses collided, making a crisp sound, and the wine entered the throat.

"Yuan Tu, I still want to ask you, were those two punches you gave me earlier for my uncle? Or...for yourself?" Cheng Duo stared straight into Yuan Tu's eyes like a torch. .

"When I started, I moved faster than my brain, and I didn't even have time to think about my dad." Yuan Tu was also very calm.

Cheng Duo nodded, as expected, "I probably guessed it, but Yuan Xiao didn't believe it."

"Did Yuan Xiao know?" Yuan Tu asked, his voice raised a little inconceivably.

Cheng Duo looked at Yuan Tu, as if he could read some excitement and anticipation from his expression.

"No, he didn't even suspect, but thought I was talking nonsense," Cheng Duo continued, "Besides, I don't think you should let him know, you don't need to tell him whether you treat him as your younger brother, whether you not only treat him Things like being a younger brother."

"Then you think I should smile and bless you?" Yuan Tu snorted ironically and took another sip of wine.

"If you want." Cheng Duo shrugged his shoulders and said instead, "You know Yuan Xiao's character better than I do. As long as nothing particularly hurts his heart happens, and you show a little tenderness and kindness to him, he will be able to get back together again." Treat you like a big brother..."

Cheng Duo also raised his hand and gave himself a sip of wine, "However, you and I both know that he looks rebellious and dares to challenge anything, and the actual moral bottom line is very high. Ask yourself, even without me, you have [-]% Is one of them possible?"

Yuan Tu's complexion became more and more serious. What he said to Cheng Duo was as clear as a mirror, but listening to it from someone else's mouth was no better than rolling around in the frying pan. He couldn't help clenching his fists, "Since You think I'm not even your rival in love, so why ask me out and tell me these things?"

"I'm afraid that Yuanxiao will be uncomfortable." Cheng Duo said: "My feelings are very simple to him. It's just a liking. If he wants to accept it, he can accept it. If he doesn't like it, he can refuse it, even if he never sees me again. But You are different, no matter how bad your relationship is, you are still his elder brother and his relative."

"Yes, I'm his brother," Yuan Tu smiled helplessly, "It would be fine if I hadn't returned to Yuan's house, if my surname was Lin, if I had remembered him better, if I hadn't sent him to you Just push around..."

Cheng Duo interrupted him, "No, I will still meet him. To put it mildly, I will never miss the person I should meet."

This is called life sometimes must have.

On Saturday morning, Cheng Duo stood at the gate of Yuan Xiao's house, Yuan Xiao stared at him dumbfounded, wondering if he was still awake from the dream just now.

Lao Yuan and the others hadn't gone downstairs yet, but Yuan Xiao was still very nervous, and he wanted to push Cheng Duo outside the door in a panic to talk.

Although he felt that Lao Yuan knew from the very beginning that he and Cheng Duoyang met in private, although he felt that Lao Yuan was pretending to be confused, but it was a bit too arrogant to dance directly in front of others to show off his might.

Yuan Xiao shoved Cheng Duo with all her teeth and claws, neither noticing his extraordinarily exquisite suit today, nor his well-groomed hairstyle.

"Yuan Xiao, what are you doing at the door so early in the morning?" Old Yuan's voice came from behind, and Yuan Xiao's back froze for a moment.

Cheng Duo seemed to have lost his mind today, watching the excitement as if it was a big deal, he stuck his head out from behind the door on purpose, smiled at Lao Yuan, and said, "Good morning, uncle, I'm Cheng Duo."

Yuan Xiao sat in the middle of the sofa at a loss, on the left was the frowning Lao Yuan, and on the right was Cheng Duo, who was smiling and calm.Yuan Xiao just felt embarrassed, not only worried that Cheng Duo would say something shocking to the world, which would make the old man's blood pressure soar, but also worried that the old man's throwing face would embarrass Cheng Duo.

"Uncle, this is the tea that my dad likes to drink. He asked me to bring you a taste. I asked my doctor friend about these skin care products, and he said that they are good for your body." Cheng Duo had a decent smile on his face , the tone is close.

Reaching out his hand not to hit the smiling face, the old man thanked him lightly, and asked Cheng Duo, "You came here suddenly today, do you have something to say?"

Cheng Duo nodded in agreement.

Lao Yuan stood up, turned around and walked towards the study, "Then come up with me."

Cheng Duo then followed Lao Yuan upstairs, leaving Yuan Xiao uneasy.

To be honest, Yuan Xiao still feels that he is not sober. He ran to the bathroom and patted his face with water, trying to clear his mind. He began to think about how he should call 120 to describe the situation if there was something wrong upstairs. .

In fact, he sat on the sofa downstairs in fear for a long time, and there was no strange movement upstairs. Half an hour passed before he finally heard the sound of the door opening upstairs. He turned his head and saw: Cheng Duo was following the old man , The two came down the stairs one after the other.

Yuan Xiao stared at Lao Yuan's expression: his brows were still furrowed, but the downward curve of the corners of his mouth seemed not as wide as before he went upstairs.

Yuan Xiao winked at Cheng Duo who was behind, and silently asked him what was going on.

Cheng Duo smiled at him, and his hanging heart fell to the ground.

Aunt Hong happened to make breakfast and asked them to wash their hands and eat.

"Have you had breakfast?" Old Yuan turned to Cheng Duo.

"Drink a glass of milk." Cheng Duo replied.

"Sit down and have something to eat together," said the old man.

Yuan Xiao sat next to Cheng Duo, Cheng Duo peeled a boiled egg and put it in Yuan Xiao's bowl naturally, Yuan Xiao picked it up and took a bite naturally.

Lao Yuan scooped up a spoonful of porridge, and watching the actions of the two of them when getting along, he couldn't help but think of the conversation he had just had with the Cheng family boy in the study.

This kid is worthy of being the son educated by Cheng Hua, a prodigy in the business world. He is courageous and strategic in his words and actions. Well, how good it will be in the future.

But to Lao Yuan, these words may not touch him much. After all, according to Yuan Xiao's temperament, if he treats him badly, he would have kicked him far away, so why should he be nice to him secretly?

What really stopped Lao Yuan from continuing to fight was Cheng Duo's words about bringing his father out.

"As a father, I realized that sexual orientation is not a problem at all when my son hasn't set foot in the house for several years and hasn't called a lot. If he likes girls, it's a family An extra daughter. If he likes a man, I'll take it as an extra son. It's the same."

These are Cheng Hua's original words recounted by Cheng Duo.

Cheng Duo also intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the years when he had a cold war with Cheng Hua because of coming out.

Old Yuan had to admit that these words pierced his heart like a nail, and he believed that Yuan Xiao would be able to stay away from home.

On the same day, Yuan Xiao returned to Lanting with her luggage and Cheng Duo.

Yuan Xiao sat on the sofa and ate fruit salad, "What did you say to Lao Yuan?"

"I didn't say anything, I just expressed my love for you to my uncle. He was moved, and then he agreed." Cheng Duo leaned on Yuan Xiao's shoulder to brush his phone, talking nonsense.

"Fuck you, are you kidding me?" Yuan Xiao stood up, and Cheng Duo fell on the sofa.

He quickly put down his phone and hugged Yuan Xiao, "I'm not lying to you, I'm telling the truth. But I added something else, I have my negotiating skills, you just sit back and enjoy the success."

"So, I should praise you for being reliable?" Yuan Xiao stuffed a piece of kiwi into his mouth.

Cheng Duo let go, and raised the mobile phone in front of Yuan Xiao, "The boast is not realistic enough, can you fulfill the trip you promised me last time?"
