Although he was despised for his IQ, Jiang Lian kept up with his elder sister and brother-in-law. Jiang Lian said, "is it true?"

"Didn't you already guess?" Jiang Xu sighed: "she's really powerful. It's perfect. If I wasn't so smart at that time, I might have been taken away by Lin Zhi“

Fu Chenhan looked at her: "are you boasting about yourself?"

Jiang Xiu: "you found out“

“……”

Jiang Lian said: "Gu Yi... I have said that she is not a good thing for a long time, but my father's pet is like the apple of his eye... Is this the end of the matter?"

Jiang Xu said, "do you think I'm such a generous person“

Jiang Lian said casually: "four years ago, yes."

Jiang Xu paused and said, "Jiang Lian, no one is unchangeable. Everyone should learn to protect themselves."

Jiang Lian is stupefied: "Why say these suddenly?"

Jiang Xiu said: "I'm teaching you that when I was protected, I was as naive as you. But you have to understand that the people around you will leave after all. When you face the storm alone, you will only regret your ignorance."

Jiang Lian said: "I... I just..." he said: "I just want them to care about me."

"If I'm not good and obedient, they will distract and discipline me... I was obedient when I was a child, but at that time, my parents ignored me. I can't let them feel that I can live a good life on my own." He pursed his lips and said, "in that case, they won't care about me any more."

Jiang Xu was stunned, and then rubbed Jiang Lian's hair: "you just know this truth."

She can't judge whether Jiang Lian's behavior is right or wrong, but if he feels happy, it's good.

……

"Madam," the old housekeeper put the black tea on the tea table, "something happened between the young lady and the young master today."

Lin Chu Xin hangs Mou to look at the book on the hand, light way: "what matter?"

The old housekeeper said it again, and Lin Chuxin sneered: "it's a disgrace“

The old housekeeper said softly, "now the tutors in several rooms are worrying."

Lin Chuxin just sneered.

The old manager said, "by the way, you two came here with one more thing, saying it's your old thing, madam“

Lin Chuxin this just came a little bit interest: "is what thing?"

The old housekeeper took out a framed painting from the cupboard and said, "when they were sorting out the industry, they came across this painting by chance. It looks like your painting style. This time they brought it together."

His dry old fingers grasp the picture frame and put the picture in front of Lin Chuxin.

As soon as Lin Chuxin's eyes narrowed, her fingers unconsciously grasped the corner of her clothes. For a long time, she laughed: "I thought it was gone."

"I vaguely remember this painting. It seems that it was painted more than 20 years ago," said the old man

"Well." Lin Chuxin said: "it was 22 years ago."

She stood up, raised her hand, gently touched the glass on the frame, and whispered, "old friend."

The old housekeeper said, "this picture has been cut."

Lin Chuxin said, "well, I did it." She pointed her finger on the frame, narrowed her eyes and said, "I remember the day when I started writing. It was a sunny afternoon. I was sitting in front of the easel. She sat on the sofa reading a book and occasionally looked up at me. She asked me: 'would you like to draw a single portrait for me?'", I said yes, she said, that's not good, how lonely, want someone to accompany her... "She paused, said:" so I drew myself up. "

Her fingers were on the eyebrows of the man in the picture.

The man in the painting is beautiful and graceful. He is Lin Chuxin in his youth.

She was wearing a long Lavender dress, and her eyes seemed to be looking at the person beside her, but it was cut open with a knife, empty.

"Where did you find it?" Lin Chuxin asked.

"No.44, Rongchang Road, Beijing. Now it has been transformed into a haunted house. The person in charge said that there was still a painting hanging there, but it was bought“

"Who?"

The old housekeeper whispered, "it's Miss Jiang."

After a moment's silence, Lin Chuxin said, "No.44 Rongchang road... I remember there“

She seems to fall into some profound memories, staring at the painting, the old housekeeper whispered: "madam, do you think of what happened 22 years ago?"

"Well." Lin Chuxin said: "at that time, we were still teenagers, the most energetic, fresh clothes and angry horses, but it's a pity that we were strangers in the end."

The old manager said, "my wife once said that you never regret your choice."

"I don't regret it, I just miss it." Lin Chuxin dropped her eyes and said in a soft voice, "you know, once people get older, they always miss the past."

"You are still young," he said

Lin Chuxin shook his head and said, "I'm old... My skin is young, but it's rotten inside. It's ridiculous."

She looked up at the ceiling and said, "I want Jiang lian to look as I expected. In the end, he looks very much like me when I was young. This is probably... Retribution."

The housekeeper disagreed and said, "young master is like you, which means that he will be in such a high position like you in the future."

Lin Chuxin said, "it's too cold at high places."

She went to the window, looking out at the sunshine, everything is booming, but her heart is like stagnant water, "like me, not good."

"Once upon a time, I thought he was like LAN Jinxi. He was indomitable. As long as he had a goal, he could push forward all the time. No matter what obstacles there were, she was not afraid."

"Later, I thought he was like Jiang Zheng. He had a heart of stone. At least he didn't have to worry about any emotional injury. Over the years, although I didn't see him, I had to admit that his cold blood was the best weapon."

"It's a pity that nature makes people Lin Chuxin closed his eyes in the sunshine, "he is like me."

The old housekeeper said, "madam, the young master is your son. It's normal that he looks like you."

Lin Chuxin didn't speak for a long time. Just as the housekeeper was going to leave, she suddenly said, "burn that painting."

The housekeeper was surprised: "but madam likes this painting very much“

Lin Chuxin smiles and says, "those years that can't go back are just sad."

Most of the time, she was thinking about that year. Once she mentioned that year, she would think of the hot villa at No. 44, Rongchang road that year. She and LAN Jinxi broke up completely.

It's like the split portrait.

They are completely on a different path.

LAN Jinxi once stood in the villa, the knife in her hand pierced her chest, she said: "Lin Chuxin, do you think you can save me if you hide me here?"

"I'm already in hell."
