Chapter 36
After hearing what Qin Shiyao and Ling Yun said, the woman wearing limited edition high heels became unhappy.
She immediately stood up and said, "How can you be so superficial? Can love be measured by money?"
Qin Shiyao's sarcasm was at its peak, "Oh, so your hobby is poor men."
Ling Yun also cast a disdainful look at me, "I'm wearing all these logos. What kind of taste do I have? How dare you call me superficial!"
Fu Yunyun followed the two sisters closely and said sarcastically, "Since you have a fetish for poverty, why are you talking to this rich guy? Go find someone poor."
The woman's face was slightly distorted, and she almost couldn't maintain the illusion of being virtuous and kind. "I only love Ah Cheng, no matter if he has money or not."
As she spoke, she glanced towards the cleaner, hinting, "Unlike some people, who only care about money and not people."
Qin Shiyao raised her eyebrows, "What's wrong with paying for money? You have a good figure but no character, you have character but no ability, you have ability but no male ethics, and you still don't let people pay for money?"
The woman choked and stiffened her neck in dissatisfaction, "You don't know the whole truth of the matter, what right do you have to say that?"
Ling Yun rolled her eyes, "Just because that guy approached you, I knew he didn't have a very good sense of aesthetics."
The woman snorted, "No matter what, I'm not like some people who despise the poor and love the rich!"
Fu Yunyun suddenly realized, "So you knew that this sister was working as a cleaner here, and you came here to scam me on purpose."
Zhu Zilin was so embarrassed and angry when his intention was exposed, "What do you mean by swindling? I came here..."
Qin Shiyao interrupted her, "What are you doing here? You're not going to stage a small-time counterattack and show off in front of your ex, are you? Some upstarts who are flying on the cusp of the trend love to do things like this."
"What do you mean by a small-time counterattack or a nouveau riche?" Zhu Zilin said with pride, "Brother Cheng's family is already rich, he just pretends to be an ordinary person."
Qin Shiyao's contempt deepened. "I thought he at least had some ability and found a good opportunity to start from scratch, but in the end he still has to rely on his father. He's worse than a nouveau riche."
Ling Yun said pretentiously: "So you can pretend to be an ordinary person? Why can't I? I will be recognized as a young lady wherever I go."
Fu Yunyun was genuinely confused, "Why are you pretending to be an ordinary person? Are you mentally ill?"
Zhu Zilin took a deep breath and told himself that there was no point in getting angry with these bumpkins.
Adjusting her attitude, she said in a noble and cold manner, "That's because Cheng's family is too rich and he doesn't want to be associated with a gold-digger. You see, isn't this a test of some women's character?"
After hearing these words, some women gripped their cleaning tools even tighter.
After she knew Gu Cheng's true identity, she couldn't understand why he kept it a secret. It turned out that he didn't trust her.
Qin Shiyao began to sort out the matter, "In other words, he is afraid of the women who get close to him. They are attracted to him because of money, so he has to hide his true identity."
Zhu Zilin said proudly, "Yes."
Qin Shiyao: "Then I understand, he must be not good in bed."
Zhu Zilin: “?”
Shen Tingzhou quickly covered Fu Yunyun's ears.
Fu Yunyun desperately pulled Shen Tingzhou's hand away, looking at Qin Shiyao with eager eyes.
Why do you have such speculation? Tell us quickly!
I don't know when Xu Xun appeared behind me, "Why does she care so much about other people's affairs?"
This "she" should be referring to Qin Shiyao. Shen Tingzhou showed a helpless smile.
Fu Yunyun dubbed in her heart: Unlike me, I only care about giegei.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhu Zilin retorted to Qin Shiyao angrily, but his eyes glanced at the tall and handsome Gu Cheng standing beside him.
Gu Cheng's eyes were fixed on Tang Qi opposite him, his gaze was heavy, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Seeing that he was still thinking about that woman and only had her in his eyes, Zhu Zilin felt disappointed.
Qin Shiyao had a reason, "Isn't it? A man wouldn't be so self-deprecating unless he was not good in bed."
Her words drew Zhu Zilin's attention back, and she frowned, "When did Cheng-ge become inferior?"
Ling Yun's train of thought matched Qin Shiyao's.
"Either he's not good in bed, or he has no ability to make money, and can only rely on the useless second generation at home. Men who are ambitious and love their wives are all like this - since my wife likes money, I will work hard to make money."
Fu Yunyun: "That's right, he wants his beloved woman to suffer with him. Think about it, think carefully, what kind of man would do such a thing?"
After hearing what they said, Zhu Zilin actually felt that this test method was a bit...
No, how could she listen to their provocation?
Zhu Zilin retorted: "That's because the Gu family is wealthy and powerful!"
Tang Qi, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up, "No matter how wealthy I am, I have never spent a penny of his money. On the contrary, your brother Cheng spent all his food, clothing, housing and transportation on my money."
Qin Shiyao sighed, "Then this is a sponsor. If it's a sponsor, doesn't it all depend on the sponsor's mood when he wants to dump you?"
Ling Yun pinched her finger joints and said, "I hate men who just eat for free."
Gu Cheng stared at Tang Qi and said in a low voice, "If you had broken up two days later, you could have gotten two million. It's a pity that you didn't keep pretending."
When he was in love with Tang Qi, Gu Cheng pretended to be a painter.
At that time, the Tang family had not yet fallen on hard times, and Tang Qing spent a lot of money to support this unknown but really good-looking young painter.
According to Gu Cheng's original script, a wealthy businessman would take a fancy to his talent and spend more than two million to buy his two paintings. Tang Qi, as the boss, broker, accountant and lover, would be able to get this money.
Gu Cheng was Tang Qing's first investment project since she became an adult, and Gu Cheng wanted to prevent her from suffering too much loss.
But the reality is that it is a complete mess.
Ling Yun, the daughter of a wealthy family, didn't quite understand. "It's only two million. Why are you asking people to pretend? Not to mention that the two million hasn't been given yet. According to your logic, if you want to continue to play dumb, I can give you two million billion. It's a pity that you spoke."
Fu Yunyun: "That's right, who doesn't know how to draw a big cake?"
Zhu Zilin was distracted for a moment, and then took the initiative to attack, "Then she cheated on me?"
Tang Qi was no longer nervous as he had been at first, and he looked straight at Zhu Zilin without avoiding or dodging.
"I don't know who told you that. I broke up first and then got engaged. As for Mr. Gu's two million, it has nothing to do with me and I don't want it."
"Yes." Gu Cheng smiled grimly, "You were attracted by the Lu family's 10 billion, so why didn't you get married in the end and ended up like this?"
Shen Tingzhou vaguely heard the sound of Qin Shiyao rubbing her high heels.
When I looked up, I saw that her face was gloomy as expected. It was obvious that she couldn't stand hearing a man say such dirty and sarcastic words.
Tang Qi, who was wearing a cleaning suit, said indifferently: "Don't worry about it."
"Mom." A little boy of three or four years old ran over and threw himself into Tang Qi's arms.
Tang Qi and Gu Cheng's expressions changed color at the same time.
Tang Qing quickly covered half of the child's face and said nervously, "Didn't I tell you to wait in the cleaning room? Why did you come out?"
The little boy said aggrievedly, "You haven't come back yet, I'm worried that something might happen to you."
Gu Cheng said sarcastically: "It seems that I am the one who is worrying. It turns out that she is married to someone else. Could the father of the child also be a cleaner, or a security guard at the mall?"
This statement is full of sarcasm.
The male cleaner and male security guard who passed by cursed in their hearts at the same time: Damn it, I’m eating your rice!
Tang Qi was obviously angry too. He covered the child's ears and said, "What does this have to do with you?"
Gu Cheng looked like he was giving sincere advice, "I just want to say, if you don't have the financial means, don't have children. You'll suffer if you have children, so why bother?"
Although his ears were covered, the little boy still heard it. He turned his head to look at the person who was speaking, but Tang Qi didn't let him.
The little boy was a little unhappy, "Mom, this uncle is really weird, why is he persuading people to stuff the baby back into the womb?"
Gu Cheng sneered, "Isn't it? If your mother hadn't given birth to you, would she have become like this? She's old, her waist is thick, and she still does this kind of work. Ask her if she has ever touched a rag before?"
Shen Tingzhou couldn't bear it anymore and was about to speak, but Fu Yunyun quickly covered his mouth.
Let him talk and see what expression he has for a while.
The little boy had his back to Gu Cheng, so Gu Cheng couldn't see how much he looked like him. But since he wanted to do such a shameless thing and speak to his own son like that, then let him do it!
Seeing that Xu Xun was still looking at her, Fu Yunyun's eyes moved, and she quickly grabbed his hand and put it on her cousin's mouth.
Okay, okay, you cover it, you cover it.
Fu Yunyun looked like she was helpless.
Xu Xun did his job well and actually covered Shen Tingzhou's mouth without letting go, protecting Fu Yunyun from the scumbag's show and preventing Shen Tingzhou from making any sound.
Shen Tingzhou looked at Xu Xun helplessly: Xiao Xu, why did you betray me?
Xu Xun looked at Shen Tingzhou uprightly.
Shen Tingzhou: Okay, I won’t say anything anymore, just let go.
Xu Xun still covered his mouth and stared at him.
Realizing that Xu Xun had not received his signal, Shen Tingzhou: ...
Gu Cheng's words angered Tang Qi. She gritted her teeth and said, "Gu Cheng!"
Seeing Tang Qi defending the child she had with another man, Gu Cheng's face turned unhappy.
The little boy started to cry. "Mom, is what he said true? Is it because of me that I have grown old?"
Gu Cheng replied, "What else?"
Shen Tingzhou, with his mouth covered: There's no hope, just go to the crematorium.
Qin Shiyao and Fu Yunyun were both waiting to see the big reveal, wanting to see Gu Cheng's expression when he found out the truth.
Ling Yun was not such a bad person. She felt a headache when she heard this man talking. She tried to speak several times but was physically stopped by Qin Shiyao.
The little boy cried out, struggled to break free from Tang Qi, and confronted Gu Cheng face to face.
"You're lying. My mother said I was the cutest child in the world and that giving birth to me was the happiest thing for her."
When he saw the little boy's appearance, Gu Cheng's pupils trembled.
Zhu Zilin also widened his eyes and murmured, "Brother Cheng, why did he tell you..."
Thinking of a possibility, Zhu Zilin covered his mouth in disbelief.
隐藏多年的事突然被公開到顧城面前，唐檸心神俱疲。
顧城描摹着小男孩每寸面部皮膚，确定無誤之後，目光轉向唐檸，顫抖着問，“這到底是怎麽回事？”
唐檸生出幾分破罐破摔的平靜，“這是我兒子，跟任何人都沒有關系。”
顧城情緒激動，“什麽叫沒關系？這也是我的……”
想到剛才他對小男孩說的話，顧城的表情如同打翻了顏料桶，悔恨、自責、內疚各種表情混合在一起。
秦詩瑤：謝謝，終于舒坦了。
傅芸芸：謝謝，終于舒坦了。
沈亭州：謝謝，可以放開我了。
沈亭州拍了拍許殉的手，示意他可以松手，自己這張嘴巴現在能解禁了。
許殉慢慢抽回手，然後攥住手心垂到身體一側，掌心還殘留着沈亭州噴薄的熱氣，以及柔軟的觸感。
只有淩韻疑惑不解，還不打起來嗎？
如果是她，這個時候早開始掄巴掌了。
顧城難堪地咽下自己是孩子父親這句話，只是不甘地說，“我有權利知道。”
秦詩瑤挑撥，“從某些人指責小孩子的時候，就沒有權利了。”
傅芸芸跟着挑撥：“還說人家媽媽老，腰粗，我是小孩子我一定不會原諒。”
顧城終于感覺出這兩道聲音的刺耳，瞪過去，“這是我們的家事！”
秦詩瑤：“啧啧，這年頭，在公共場合說句話都不行？”
傅芸芸：“怎麽這麽霸道，可能就是脾氣太不好，才丢了嗯嗯，又丢了嗯嗯呢。”
顧城青筋突了突。
這時小男孩開口，好奇地問，“嗯嗯是什麽？”
怕傅芸芸語出驚人教壞孩子，沈亭州趕忙掏出一顆糖果吸引他的注意。
小男孩拿過糖果，“謝謝叔叔。”
沈亭州揉了揉小家夥的腦袋，小男孩立刻害羞地撲到唐檸懷裏。
沈亭州笑了笑，這時面前伸過來一只手，沈亭州順着手看去。
許殉癱着臉說，“不給我一塊？”
沈亭州反應幾秒，掏出一顆糖，“這個？”
許殉：“嗯。”
正在吃火葬場瓜的秦詩瑤跟傅芸芸，不免分神看向這對。
秦詩瑤眼神交流：看，我就說他茶。
傅芸芸興奮：茶茶更健康，就愛看猛茶撒嬌。
等唐檸開口時，兩個人又嗖地一下開始吃火葬場的瓜。
讓更多，更猛烈的瓜向她們灑下吧。
唐檸擡手扣上小男孩的兜帽，捂住他的耳朵，對顧城說，“我兒子的父親很早就去世了，他只有我一個母親，以前、現在、将來都是如此。”
顧城埋怨道：“你不能這麽自私。”
唐檸仿佛聽到天大笑話，“你騙我是一個窮畫家的時候，你沒懷着自私的想法？我從來沒做過任何一件對不起你的事，輪不着你在這裏指責我。”
當年她家生意出了很大問題，需要周轉的資金，呂家答應幫忙。
但答應的前提是要唐檸嫁過去，他家老大一直喜歡唐檸，多年愛而不得。
為了家人，唐檸選擇犧牲自己的婚姻，然後跟顧城分了手。
“過去的事我不想跟你掰扯，但這個孩子……”顧城壓低聲音，“我們必須要重新商量。”
小男孩睜着黑白分明的大眼睛，并不知道自己親生父母正在争奪自己。
本來是想要給唐檸這個虛榮的女人一點教訓，沒想到促成人家一家三口了。
朱子琳情緒崩潰，手指插進頭發裏，驚聲尖叫，“啊——”
“為什麽會這樣。”朱子琳抓着頭發，一點也不理解，“怎麽會突然冒出一個小孩子，這個孩子哪裏來的，為什麽會這樣啊啊啊啊。”
顧城眼睛複雜起來，“所以你當時沒跟呂家那個人結婚，是因為懷了我的……”
朱子琳哭了，問顧城，“我說這些是為了讓你追憶當年她懷崽的事嗎？”
到底有沒有人在乎她的感受！
有沒有人！！
顧城不耐地看了她一眼，“你先回去吧。”
朱子琳感受到顧城深深的嫌棄，內心更傷了，這個時候一道聲音冒進耳朵裏。
“——這你都不打他？”
朱子琳如夢初醒，揚手給了顧城一巴掌，“顧城，你好狠的心。”
打完哭着跑走了。
淩韻：？
怎麽就只是打一巴掌，是怕手疼嗎？
-
顧城面色鐵青，但看見小男孩望過來的好奇眼神，他緩和表情，生硬地擠出一個笑。
觸及他的目光，男孩害怕地窩進唐檸懷裏。
顧城看了一眼唐檸，試圖解釋，“我跟她沒關系。”
唐檸眼底漠然，“跟我無關。”
顧城一噎，立刻轉換思維，“好，不談我們之間的事，只談這個孩子，他跟着你只會吃苦。”
秦詩瑤接話，“但跟着你會學騙人家小姑娘自己是窮男人。”
傅芸芸打配合，“就是就是。”
顧城攥了一下拳頭，對唐檸說，“我們找個安靜的地方談。”
唐檸拎得清，知道對方是在幫自己，拒絕道：“我就想在這裏談。”
顧城只能忍耐，他重振旗鼓道：“你有沒有想過以後？以你現在的條件，孩子的教育、工作後的資源，你怎麽保障？”
秦詩瑤：“你爹倒是給你了這些保障，結果呢？”
傅芸芸回答：“結果還是騙人的渣男。”
沈亭州：……
顧城手指捏到青白，不理兩人繼續說，“你現在也是孩子的母親了，不要再像過去那麽沖動了，要多為孩子想想。”
秦詩瑤：“真要為孩子着想，那就丢下五個億，然後一輩子不出現。”
傅芸芸：“是的是的。”
沈亭州一時不知道該說秦詩瑤嘴快，還是腦子快，看給人氣的。
顧城足足七八秒沒有說話，身體都在顫，明顯氣不輕。
他吐了一口長長的濁氣。
秦詩瑤：“呦，氣還挺……”
顧城忍無可忍，“我吐口氣就不勞您吐槽了吧，這位路人！”
秦詩瑤也不生氣，做了一個請的手勢。
顧城說，“過去的事已經過去了，為了孩子我希望我們各自退一步。”
秦詩瑤繼續反駁，“憑什麽要人家退，明明迫切想緩和關系的是某些人，說得好像人家需要似的。”
傅芸芸：“就是就是。”
沈亭州摁住傅芸芸的肩，別就是了，再就是下去這位真要吐血了。
顧城已經不跟唐檸說了，開始跟秦詩瑤對線。
很快他被秦詩瑤怼的一句話也說不出來，真在吐血的邊緣。
唐檸還在這個時候來了一句，“我覺得這位小姐說的都對，我的想法跟她一樣，你不要再來打擾我。”
顧城的霸總殼被擊潰，又露出小畫家時期的模樣，哀求道：“檸檸。”
以前他惹唐檸生氣了，就是用這種無措的目光看着她，然後喊她的小名求饒。
過去的事一幕幕閃現在唐檸眼前，她眼睛閉了一會兒。
再睜開時，一片空明。
唐檸輕輕搖了搖頭，“太晚了，你的驕傲擊潰了我對你最後一點信任，我的驕傲可能也……傷害了你，但都過去了，我已經過了最需要你的那個階段。”
顧城感覺有什麽東西轟隆隆倒塌，不由生出幾分慌張。
唐檸跟他分手後，顧城就回到了顧家，他找人調查了一下唐家的情況。
他知道唐家有了危機，但還是生氣唐檸什麽都不跟他說，直接選擇犧牲自己去解決問題。
所以他讓人給唐檸透露消息，通過別人之口告訴了唐檸自己的身份，等着對方來找他。
但唐檸沒有。
為什麽呢？
因為唐檸也在想，顧城為什麽要騙她，他們兩個人在一起一年多了，顧城為什麽不告訴她？
她想不明白，不知道對方在想什麽，她希望對方能上門給她一個解釋。
他們都在等着彼此來找自己，但誰都沒有去找誰。
後來唐檸發現自己懷孕了，跟呂家的婚事也就不了了之，她跟父母大吵一架，然後離開了家。
沒有顧城，她也把孩子生了下來。
沒有顧城，她将孩子養到這麽大，她的兒子還很懂事。
唐檸堅定地說，“我現在不需要任何人，我能照顧自己和兒子。”
秦詩瑤鼓掌：“說得好，你這樣的人才可以來我們家公司。”
唐檸搖搖頭，“謝謝，目前不用，我在這裏工作很好。”
她有學歷，但因為一個人要養孩子，很多工作都不能做，這個商場的老板人很好，讓她可以帶孩子上班。
唐檸是後勤主管，只是今天有明星在樓下辦見面會，人都調過去了，她才臨時充當保潔。
“謝謝你們。”唐檸真誠道謝，然後抱起兒子準備走。
“檸檸。”顧城忍不住追過去拉她的手。
唐檸避開，“該說的我已經說完了，不要再打擾我們。”
顧城自然是不依的，跟唐檸拉扯間，忽然感覺耳側掠過一道勁風。
不等他反應，他就被一巴掌拍了出去。
唐檸下意識蒙住孩子的眼睛，震驚地看着顧城旋轉出去。
終于有機會出手的淩韻，冷酷道：“人家都說別糾纏了，聽不懂人話？”
沈亭州就知道今天會有人動手，之前還以為是秦詩瑤跟淩韻混合雙打。
現在只有淩韻出手，還只是一巴掌，沈亭州竟然覺得情況還不錯。
顧城手撐在牆上，眉心跳動，眼眸的怒氣不斷累加。
秦詩瑤開口，“這也算你替你的那個女伴還了一巴掌，她剛才可是打了孩子的媽媽。”
顧城身體一僵，把頭垂下去，果然不再說話。
-
生日會結束，沈亭州開車送許殉回家。
路上沈亭州跟許殉閑聊，“今天是不是有點太亂了，沒吵到你吧？”
許殉心情似乎不錯，“還好，很久沒感覺到這麽熱鬧了。”
沈亭州語調跟着輕松起來，“上次這麽熱鬧是什麽時候？”
問完，沈亭州就後悔了，他擔心是許殉父母還活着的時候。
正想說點什麽把這個話題轉開，卻聽見許殉說，“上次這麽熱鬧，還是跟你一塊去參加那次聚會。”
沈亭州頓時有點囧，“呃，那次确實也挺熱鬧。”
“謝謝你送我妹妹禮物。”
“你最近有時間嗎？”
沈亭州跟許殉的聲音一同響起，兩人相視一笑。
沈亭州謙讓，“你先說。”
許殉問，“家裏在湯山那邊有房子，我打算去那邊泡溫泉，你要去嗎？”
沈亭州說，“我就不去了。”
許殉看過來，“有事要忙？”
沈亭州解釋，“我很多工作都是臨時的，不确定有沒有，固定的就是每周三都要到蘇先生那裏。”
其實他現在不怎麽忙，一號雇主至今在醫院昏迷，二號雇主……不提也罷。
三號是蘇俞家，每周三必去，四號就是許殉。
許殉：“周三能回來，去嗎？”
沈亭州還在猶豫，許殉又開口，這次倒不是詢問的口吻，“一起去吧。”
車內燈灑下昏黃的光，兩個人的視線碰撞到一塊，許殉的眼神很認真。
沈亭州腦子一卡殼，脫口問了一句，“那貓呢？”
許殉安靜幾秒，然後說，“一塊帶上，開車去。”
聽說三只貓也去，沈亭州點頭同意了。
許殉半張臉隐在黑暗裏，像個半面貞子，“貓如果不去呢？”
“那我留下來給你照顧貓。”沈亭州之所以這麽說，是因為他擅長這個活兒。
沈亭州似乎聽見許殉哼了一聲，又似乎沒有。
晚上回到家，沈亭州去洗漱，換了睡衣躺在床上，照例看了看許殉的朋友圈。
以往許殉會在晚上發布一些貓的視頻，沈亭州都會點贊留言。
但今天沒有，只有幹巴巴一條，睡覺。
沈亭州不明所以，不過還是點了一個贊，留了一個晚安。
-
自從做了家庭醫生，沈亭州已經很久沒有出去玩過。
因為是臨時決定，準備工作很倉促，沈亭州一早就開始收拾自己的東西。
藥肯定是必需品，貓的東西也帶上點。
稍微一收拾就整理出兩個行李箱，沈亭州覺得東西有點多，打算清減一些行裝，但又實在清不出來，所以帶着倆箱子去了許殉家。
在許殉龐大的行李箱下，沈亭州感覺自己這倆小行李實在不起眼，随之安心。
許殉回房拿自己的枕頭時，管家跟沈亭州說——
“從小就有這個毛病，不是自己的枕頭睡不着。每次給他換枕頭，就跟給腸胃不好的貓換貓糧似的，得等他睡着了，偷着換上新枕頭，白天的時候再換回來，這麽折騰幾個晚上，才能成功換回來。”
沈亭州忍不住笑了，主要是管家這個形容太生動。
沈亭州不解，“為什麽一定給他換呢？”
管家說，“舊枕頭被他枕壞了。”
哈哈哈，不壞不能換是吧？
看着從二樓走下來的挺拔青年，管家感嘆，“現在長大好多了，小時候特別難纏。”
沈亭州看出他的目光帶着幾分懷念，笑着說，“但還是想他小時候是嗎？”
管家收回目光，“是啊，但真回到那個時候，估計還是想打他。”
沈亭州：……
許殉走過來就見沈亭州表情怪異，管家含笑不語，在兩人身上各看了一會兒，許殉問沈亭州，“怎麽了？”
沈亭州搖搖頭，堅決不提管家說了他爺見打的時期。
許殉看了一眼管家。
管家說，“既然拿到你的小枕頭了，那走吧。”
許殉似乎不喜歡他這麽說，正要開口對方已經轉身出去了。
許殉只好跟沈亭州說，“我有點認枕頭，但只是一點。”
沈亭州點頭附和，“嗯嗯，其實睡覺有自己獨特的癖好很正常，有人認床，有人認枕頭，還有人睡覺喜歡摸着人耳朵，我還見過喜歡折被角的。”
許殉來了興趣，“那你呢？”
沈亭州：“我沒有。”
許殉：“哦。”
-
旅途中開的是房車，請了兩個司機輪流開車，以确保路上安全。
開了将近三十個小時，汽車開進湯山地界，一路朝着郊區行駛。
沈亭州以為許殉說的這裏有房子，所謂的房子頂多就是別墅，等那座藏匿在樹木間的房子越來越清晰，沈亭州發現用古堡來形容它都不為過。
管家解釋，“這是少爺外公那邊祖上留下來的，現在已經不能買賣了。”
到地方之後，沈亭州才明白這房子為什麽不能買賣。
因為很具有歷史感，上面甚至有彈洞，看來經歷了戰争，至少也得百年的歷史。
平時這裏沒人住，只有到了冬季才會有人過來泡溫泉，去雪山滑雪，逛白桦林。
許殉提前打過招呼，留在這裏的人已經打掃出三個房間。
見他們還在打掃其他客房，管家問，“還有人要來？”
保姆說，“懷斐少爺要來。”
一聽這個名字，許殉跟管家垮下臉。
沈亭州沒看到他們的臉色，将懷斐這個名字又念了一遍，“挺好聽。”
許殉看過來問，“好聽嗎？”
沈亭州察覺到氣氛的微妙，不由冒出一個想法，“這個人該不會就是……”
管家微笑，“是的，就是沈醫生前幾天救的那個要‘自殺’的人，傅懷斐。”
沈亭州一下子就閉嘴了，因為他感覺得出來，許殉跟管家對傅懷斐的本人以及管家頗有微詞。
許殉甚至生出要走的打算，想找一個五星級酒店住。
管家懶得再折騰，許殉不高興地抱着自己的枕頭上了樓。
看着怒氣沖沖的許殉，沈亭州偷問管家，“他們這麽不對付？”
管家搖頭，“不算不對付，傅先生是少爺的小舅，兩個人差的年紀不大，小時候也經常在一塊玩。”
沈亭州瓜吃多了，思維也不由地朝狗血發散，“那後來發生了什麽事，直接導致兩人降至冰點？”
一般都是因為愛情。
比如許殉看上什麽什麽人，恰巧小舅舅也看上了，但這個女孩喜歡……
反正肯定是喜歡其中一個，不喜歡另一個，導致舅舅跟外甥之間有了嫌隙。
管家給了一個出乎意料的答案，“沒有發生過任何事。”
啊？
沈亭州不理解了，“那他怎麽這麽不想見小舅？”
聽起來兩個人關系挺不錯，難道是……
許媽媽有傅家的繼承權，她意外去世後，家産該由許殉繼承。
但昔日玩伴兼舅舅的傅懷斐，并不喜歡家裏大權旁落外姓，遂，舅甥決裂，老死不相往來。
管家說，“不高興是因為貸款了。”
果然跟錢有關系！
啊？貸款？
沈亭州詫異，“許先生還需要貸款嗎？”
他送別人生日禮物都随随便便拿六十多萬，這還需要貸款？
管家點頭，“嗯，貸款吃醋。”
沈亭州：？
管家：“他們倆品味很像，傅先生有過搶少爺玩具的黑歷史，所以……”
二樓傳來一個聲音，“小貓出事了。”
沈亭州的心頓時跳得山崩地裂：！！！
他箭步沖上樓，急道：“小貓怎麽了，小貓怎麽了？”
許殉站在房間門口說，“小貓把自己絆倒了。”
沈亭州看見倒在地毯上，露着肚皮的小銀漸層，比起它自己把自己絆倒，這個姿勢更像是有人把它翻過來，而它……就地舔毛。
地毯鋪得很厚，踩在上面一點聲音都沒有，貓大概也喜歡這種感覺。
沈亭州看向許殉，許殉很誇張地比劃，“它絆倒後打了兩個滾呢，估計都摔懵了。”
小銀漸層不理會外界，叉開腿，舔自己的腿毛，姿勢很不雅觀。
沈亭州：“……這麽軟的地毯，再多打兩個也沒事。”
許殉：“也不能這麽說，它還小，檢查一下吧。”
沈亭州詫異地看了一眼許殉，許殉平時一貫以嚴父形象示人，這次怎麽變慈父了？
許殉毫不心虛地任由沈亭州打量。
沈亭州不疑有他，走過去檢查了一下小貓。
許殉蹲到旁邊說，“我覺得它跟這裏八字不合，而且地毯毛太多，它們萬一吸入幹嘔怎麽辦？”
沈亭州抓着小銀漸層的肚皮說，“這種地毯沒事。”
許殉又說，“但這個房間有很多浮雕，萬一它們撲抓的時候砸下來。”
這倒是一個問題。
沈亭州不擔心貓，貓貓反應很敏捷，他是怕這些很有可能見證歷史的浮雕，萬一損壞了多可惜。
Seeing Shen Tingzhou's hesitation, Xu Xun took out his phone and said, "Then I'll book a hotel."
Shen Tingzhou felt something was wrong with Xu Xun's abnormal behavior. "Are you afraid of meeting your uncle?"
Xu Xun poked his phone to look at the hotel. The light from the screen fell on his handsome face. He said in a light tone, "I'm not afraid. I just think he's troublesome. When I go on vacation, I still think... it's better to keep it simple."
Shen Tingzhou heard another meaning, "Isn't it easy with him around?"
Xu Xun: "He is a very troublesome person. He needs three sets of tableware for a meal, and he needs to light aromatherapy and put flower petals in the bath, listen to records, and drink red wine. Every time I go out with him, I have to wait for him for more than an hour."
Shen Tingzhou blurted out, "He puts on makeup?"
Xu Xun: "More or less. He has to put a lot of stuff on his face anyway. He particularly hates the sun. Sometimes he even flies an umbrella, and he wears lace ones."
Shen Tingzhou: What an exaggerated man.
Then Shen Tingzhou quickly cursed in his heart, maybe the other party was tortured because he was different, which made him do something stupid last time.
As long as it does not violate the law and morality, every hobby should be respected.
Shen Tingzhou said, "I think we still need to understand him better."
Xu Xun said, "I think we should stay away from him."
The two looked at each other and the atmosphere calmed down.
Xu Xun's face was paralyzed. "Why? Just because his name is nice?"
Shen Tingzhou was a little amused. "It has nothing to do with the name. I just think he might be a little...fragile. I don't know if my feeling is wrong."
Xu Xun: "Yes, he likes to make himself sick."
When Shen Tingzhou heard this, he felt something was wrong. "Did he do it himself?"
Xu Xun hummed expressionlessly, "He often draws blood, saying that he is donating blood for all mankind, but in fact he just likes the feeling of being weak and pale."
Shen Tingzhou frowned deeply, "This is also a form of self-mutilation, it's a pathological psychology!"
Xu Xun corrected, "It's the psychology of loving beauty."
Shen Tingzhou was stunned, "Ah?"
At this time, the butler's voice came from downstairs, "Master, your uncle is here."
Xu Xun frowned slightly. Shen Tingzhou thought he was annoyed with Fu Huaifei, so he quickly comforted him, "Be calm, you must be calm. He just committed suicide a few days ago. We can't hurt him again."
People like them are very sensitive and can sense the slightest rejection from the outside world.
Not to mention rejection, even if others don't bother to look at them, they will think too much.
Xu Xun stood up and said, "He would not commit suicide, at least not by jumping into the river, because his body would swell and look ugly."
Is that so?
Shen Tingzhou followed Xu Xun out half-believingly and half-doubtingly, just in time to see Fu Huaifei coming in.
Fu Huaifei was wearing a black velvet hoodie with a three-piece suit underneath. His long black hair was hidden in his hat. His skin was snow-white, but his lips were bright red. His facial features were so handsome that it was hard to tell whether he was androgynous.
With his skin color and the way he was dressed when he appeared in this castle, he really looked like a vampire in the movie.
Fu Huaifei walked in weakly, and when he saw Shen Tingzhou at the entrance of the second floor, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
