Chapter 154 An Old Man



Look, Lei Zhonglian is silent.

The senior manager resumed his faint smile.

"Old Lei, don't blame others for always poking at your sore spots and slapping you in the face," he said. "You are always full of reasons, theories, and whys."

He frowned again when he said this.

"Why do you always ask why?"

Lei Zhonglian lowered his head and said nothing. The senior manager shook his head and smiled as he went to greet the old lady and others.

Lei Zhonglian then raised his head and looked at the bustling crowd over there.

"Because I don't accept it." He murmured, "Because our loss was unfair."

"Okay, what are you sending? Stop sending." Liu Er said unhappily to the people surrounding the car, "It's not a glorious thing."

Old Mrs. Fang and others looked embarrassed.

Mrs. Fang reluctantly withdrew her hand that was pressing on the mattress in the car.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of the young master." Miss Jun said, glancing at Fang Chengyu who was lying beside her.

"Chengyu, Chengyu." Mrs. Fang lifted the car curtain and shouted.

Fang Chengyu was covered with a thick quilt and seemed to be asleep. He didn't move or speak.

"He is asleep, don't wake him up, it will be more convenient for you to travel." Miss Jun said.

Liu'er lowered the car curtain without hesitation, blocking everyone's view.

"Hurry up, hurry up." She ignored Mrs. Fang and others and shouted directly.

Lei Zhonglian, who was squatting in the corner, stood up reluctantly, lowered his head and pulled the reins.

"Let's go." Liu'er waved her hand.

Lei Zhonglian really led the horse and left.

Liu'er jumped onto the carriage behind and urged them to go out.

He really left without any hesitation. Before anyone could react, Old Mrs. Fang and others hurriedly followed him out the door.

The guards had been waiting outside the gate for a long time. Seeing the carriage coming out, they scattered around and surrounded it. Lei Zhonglian got on the carriage and raised his hand to whip it.

The whip didn't touch the horse, nor did it fall to the ground, but it made a crisp sound in the air.

The carriage moved forward lightly and silently.

Old Mrs. Fang and others only had time to stand in front of the door.

"Why did you leave without waiting? How could this person who rushed the car be so rude?" Yuan Shi said anxiously, "Why did you find someone so tactless?"

The senior manager standing nearby turned his head away somewhat embarrassedly.

Yes. The guy who rushed the car was really a tactless person.

"Who is this person driving the car? Why haven't I seen him before?" Mrs. Fang asked with a frown.

The senior management hurried forward to salute.

"It's in the shop," he said vaguely.

It turns out that he is not from the family? Mrs. Fang was only concerned about Chengyu and didn't care about these trivial matters and people.

"Is it reliable?" she asked in surprise.

It's hard to say whether this person is reliable or not.

Especially for the other party's wife.

The senior management didn't even dare to say his name.

"I picked it." Old Mrs. Fang said, helping the senior manager out of the dilemma.

After hearing this, Mrs. Fang stopped asking questions. She once again raised her hand to wipe her tears and looked in the direction where the carriage left.

There was no one left on the street.

"Why, walking so fast?" She said in astonishment, her heart tightening again, "Can Chengyu's body withstand the bumps?"

He began to question the driver again.

Is it okay?

Those people who were rushing to the shop, most of their cars were loaded with goods, and they were very casual. They were not servants at all.

Come to think of it, I seem to have seen this driver somewhere before.

Mrs. Fang was stunned for a moment, then her face turned pale and her body trembled slightly.

"Mother." She turned her head and looked at Old Lady Fang, her voice trembling, "Is the driver you picked the one with the surname Lei?"

Old Mrs. Fang was silent for a moment.

"Yes," she said.

What happened to Lei? People around were puzzled.

But Mrs. Fang looked sad and angry. She looked at Old Mrs. Fang as if she had a thousand words to say.

"Why?" But she only said these three words in the end.

Old Mrs. Fang looked at her and sighed.

"Let's talk about it when we get back." She said softly, holding Mrs. Fang's hand.

Seeing Mrs. Fang's reaction, the maids around were somewhat puzzled, but they did not dare to ask more questions.

Now I dare not say anything careless at home. Several things have happened in succession. The first wife and the old lady are in very bad tempers.

Everyone followed and turned to go in.

Fang Yunxiu and Fang Yuxiu took two steps back and looked at their mother's back with great worry.

"What happened to the man who was rushing the car? Does mother recognize him?" Fang Yunxiu asked in a low voice.

And it doesn't look very pleasant to recognize.

"You don't remember what happened when your father had the accident?" Fang Yuxiu said.

At that time, one of them was only four years old, and the other was only two years old. They could not remember much. They only heard about it from others after they grew up. But because it was not a happy thing and talking about it would only make them sadder, no one in the family talked about it much.

Fang Yunxiu shook her head.

"I can't even remember what my father looks like anymore," she murmured.

Fang Yuxiu smiled and stroked the back of Fang Yunxiu's hand.

"Don't worry about these things." She said, "People are destined to be with each other. We are destined to be father and daughter in this life, but we are not destined to be father and daughter in person."

Then he paused.

"The escort who protected my father was named Lei."

Fang Yunxiu suddenly understood, but then it became complicated again.

Almost all the people my father brought with him died, and only two or three people carried my father out with his last breath.

"Is this escort one of them?" she said.

Fang Yuxiu nodded.

"It's actually still in our bank account." Fang Yunxiu said with mixed feelings, "Is he doing this to atone for his sins?"

Fang Yuxiu didn't laugh. She would not laugh at her sister's kindness.

Kindness is never a quality that should be laughed at.

"That's not clear. It happened more than ten years ago." Fang Yuxiu said, "It should be my grandmother's decision."

At this time, inside Old Madam Fang's room, Mrs. Fang was also looking at Old Madam Fang with tears in her eyes.

"Mother, I won't say anything when you left him behind, but why do you want me to escort Chengyu now?" She cried, "Do you want Chengyu to be like his father..."

She couldn't continue and covered her mouth with tears.

Old Mrs. Fang sighed lightly.

"I don't know why," she said frankly, "Zhenzhen specifically asked him to get in the car."

Jun Zhenzhen?

Mrs. Fang was stunned.

Old Mrs. Fang called out to the senior manager, who was waiting outside the door and hurried in.

"Miss Jun said Lei Zhonglian was very good at catching the car." He said, and recounted the process of how Lei Zhonglian met Miss Jun.

It turned out that Jun Zhenzhen actually wasted five thousand taels of silver during the Lantern Festival.

This kid is as out of touch with the world as ever and regards money as dirt.

Mrs. Fang thought, but this is not the key.

"Then she should say that Lei Zhonglian is very good at taking care of things. What does that have to do with rushing a car?" She frowned and asked, "Besides, didn't you say he was a car watcher? Did he rush a car?"

Old Mrs. Fang and Director Gao looked at each other.

Yes, who knows, maybe Miss Jun has a keen eye.

After leaving the city and leaving the official road, there were fewer people. Lei Zhonglian raised his left hand and whipped the horsewhip in the air, slowing down the horse so that the ride would be less bumpy.

Lei Zhonglian put the whip back on the cart, untied the water bottle from his waist, and was about to take a sip.

"How many years have you been driving?"

A soft female voice came from behind him, startling him.

Miss Jun lifted the car curtain at some point.

And if she asks...

Lei Zhonglian was silent for a moment.

"I've been driving for four years," he said.

What took four years? The guard riding beside him frowned and looked at him.

Isn't Lei Zhonglian just a janitor in the bank? This time he must have used a backdoor to get a job.

When did he catch the bus?

In order to please the young lady, you have to talk nonsense, right?

Miss Jun nodded without questioning his words, her eyes falling on Lei Zhonglian's right hand.

"Is this your hand, the one that was disabled at that time?" she said, pointing her slender fingertips from her sleeve at Lei Zhonglian's right hand.

Like a tongue of fire, Lei Zhonglian only felt a burning pain in his right hand and subconsciously held it in his arms.

But he knew that what was licking his right hand was not the girl's fingers, but the two words she said.

Wasted.
