MTL - Number One Player-Chapter 115 Welcome to God of Wealth Night
The Magic Capital of China, the fourth day of the new year, welcomes the night of the God of Wealth.
For merchants who started out in business, the annual welcome to the God of Wealth is a day to be treated with caution. Especially under the leadership of the old businessman who believes in Feng Shui, the night of welcoming the God of Wealth is even more important than the New Year's Eve. Not only all the main men of the direct lineage will be present, but also need to bring their own relatives. The dinner will always be held. It continued until the firecrackers were set off on the fifth day of the new year.
This year, under the impact of the "Hero Project" and the public event of the White Mist copy, more people gathered in the old merchant's house than in previous years. Taking advantage of this opportunity to get together in an open and honest way, people eagerly discussed the family's countermeasures. The small meetings of the core staff were held one after another, and those who were not qualified to participate in the core small meetings also gathered together in twos and threes. Discussion is ongoing.
Shang Yinhe's father, Shang Ning'an, belongs to the core figure of the merchant's generation. Of course, his participation is indispensable for this occasion; and Shang Yinhe himself, as Shang Ning'an's only legitimate child at present, has to attend no matter how unwilling he is. this occasion.
When he was young, he would resist fiercely and willfully refuse to come to the old merchant house; but after many times of breaking his head, he learned to be patient on the surface, he learned to disguise himself with a sunny appearance, and learned Obey when you should.
What kind of behemoth is a business? And what kind of weak and helpless ordinary person is he? No one will support him, all the quarrels and struggles are just self-inflicted humiliation, not to mention that he grew up with the financial support of the merchants, what face is there to get rid of this invisible shackles?
In the corner of the old merchant's house, half-shrouded in shadow, Shang Yinhe hid himself and stared at the closed conference room almost in a daze. His father, Shang Ning'an, is currently in the conference room. inside.
[something is breaking...]
No one paid attention to him, everyone was busy with their own affairs, even the cousin's family, who was barely the closest, didn't notice Shang Yinhe, who was hiding tightly.
When he arrived at the old mansion today, unexpectedly, he saw a female companion with his father. For more than ten years, since the divorce, although there has never been a lack of women around him, this is the first time his father has officially brought a female companion home.
After all, his father Shang Ning'an was only in his early forties this year. He was also a golden bachelor and the fifth diamond king. Time clearly favored him so much. Not only did he not give him the traces of the years, but it added to him the charm of a mature man. . Shang Yinhe once secretly watched his flirting scene. At that time, Shang Ning'an looked at each other with deep and warm eyes, and he didn't even need to say anything, he had already intoxicated the people around him.
At that time, Shang Yinhe left in despair. His father's deep and warm eyes occupied his dream for a long time, and every appearance would wake him up from his sleep.
However, after waking up, there was loneliness around him, the whole small villa was empty, and he was alone in the room, hugging a quilt.
He is still unable to determine whether the dream during that time was a beautiful dream or a nightmare?
If it is a nightmare, why are the eyes in the dream so warm? If it was a beautiful dream, why would he always be forced to wake up from the dream whenever he dreamed of this scene?
[something is breaking...]
There was a commotion at the door. It was probably a quarrel between relatives.
The businessmen are big businessmen, and the conflicts of interest between relatives are by no means rare, more often than not, there are many tongue-in-cheek swords, insincere words, and even a lot of quarrels broke out in person. Especially at such a time when the direct line and branches are gathering together, disputes and scolding are inevitable in any year.
This kind of thing generally has nothing to do with Shang Yinhe. Everyone knows that he has an embarrassing status, and they don't know whether he will inherit a little bit of his father's rights in the future. It is highly unlikely that his father Shang Ning'an would not even look at him. willing.
"Shang Ning'an—!" A sharp, almost hysterical cry came from the door.
This voice was very familiar, very familiar. He could hear this frantic, excited, mad-like voice in countless midnight dreams, it was almost his childhood nightmare—
Shang Yinhe raised his head suddenly and looked at the door of the old house—
Ah, unexpectedly and logically, that was his mother...
Xia Rufeng.
[something is breaking...]
Since her parents divorced, counting the time, Shang Yinhe hasn't seen her mother for almost ten years.
I heard that she was forced to recuperate at home for a long time, and then she slowly recovered. Recently, she has resumed a normal life.
Different from daring to meet his father secretly, Shang Yinhe never dared to see his mother. He deliberately avoided the imperial capital where she was located, and almost never stepped into that land.
Although he knew that his mother loved him.
One needs to have felt love first in order to know what love feels like. Shang Yinhe did feel love from his mother, on the contrary, he almost never felt love from his father.
Shang Yinhe is very important to Xia Rufeng. He is the crystallization of her love, he is the child she left behind unscrupulously, he is an important pillar in her life and the last line of defense to maintain her sanity.
But she hated him even more.
Different from Shang Ning'an's indifference, Xia Rufeng's love and hatred are as fierce as fire. She would angrily scold "You bitch!", and would also call her "Mom's most beloved baby" affectionately; she would pinch Shang Yinhe's skin violently, and would patiently give him medicine, contain Crying and desperately apologizing: "I'm sorry, baby, it's all mother's fault, it's all mother's fault..."
Her crystal tears fell on Shang Yinhe's skin, building up the mixed memories of his childhood.
Her mother has mental problems.
Her frantic, calm, and loving performance at that time almost destroyed Shang Yinhe's perception as a normal person.
When he first went to school, Shang Yinhe didn't know what was good, what was bad, how to express kindness, or how to express malice.
For his father Shang Ning'an, Shang Yinhe both resisted and longed for;
For his mother Xia Rufeng, Shang Yinhe was afraid and at a loss.
He longed for someone to care about him, but he didn't want the chaotic desperation of approaching his mother; he tried approaching his father, but only indifferent ignorance could ever be exchanged.
Later, Shang Yinhe slowly became a "normal person".
He smiles brightly, and he always looks so heartwarming. Although he has never had any close friends, although he has never dared to live on campus and share rent.

"...I'm visiting my ex-husband, is there a problem!" Xia Rufeng put on delicate makeup and glared at the people who were blocking her, "That's how businesses treat guests? Ask Shang Ning'an to come out and see me!"
Shang Yinhe took a step forward in the shadows, and then took his steps back.
"Shang Ning'an—! You have no face to come out to see me, are you—!" Xia Rufeng screamed, the high-pitched voice almost tore the sky, attracting the attention of everyone in the merchant's old house.
The conversations of everyone in the old house changed to another topic. The voices from the wind all carried names such as "Shang Ning'an" and "Xia Rufeng", and occasionally he could hear the name "Shang Yinhe".
Shang Yinhe took a deep breath.
[something is breaking...]
"Shang, Ning, An—!" Someone tried to drive away the uninvited guest, but only Xia Rufeng shouted more sharply, "Come out, come—!"
"What to do, what to do!" The door of the small conference room was opened, and Shang Ning'an frowned and strode out. There was obvious disgust on his face, "What about the security guards? Just watching unrelated people break in!"
"I'm from the Xia family, your ex-wife." After seeing Shang Ning'an, the expression on Xia Rufeng's face was obviously calmer, and even her tone softened, "It's not an unrelated person."
Beside her, the bodyguard in charge of protecting her showed a sighing expression and secretly made an apologetic gesture to the security guard of the business: Buddy, I'm sorry, we are also forced to be helpless.
The security guard of the business shrugged and took a few steps back, giving Ms. Xia Rufeng some space to speak, but blocking her way into the hall.
"What are you doing here?" Shang Ning'an asked sharply, standing at a safe distance.
Xia Rufeng twisted her hair, combed her messy appearance due to the conflict with the security personnel, and then said with a smile, "Brother Ning An, I heard that you brought a new girl in today. This old merchant's house?"
"So what?" Shang Ning'an frowned and replied vigilantly, not even refuting the pink-smelling title of "Brother Ning An".
"Which lucky girl can you choose?" Xia Rufeng squinted her eyes and smiled, her smile was still a bit innocent and cute like a cardamom girl, "Brother Ning An, can you introduce me?"
When Xia Rufeng was young, she was a well-known beauty in the imperial capital, with a good family background, beautiful people, smart and lovely, and she was once the goddess of countless people's dreams.
It's a pity that she hung up on Shang Ning'an's crooked neck tree. She developed from a "good friend" to an upright pursuit, and then to using her methods, marrying her son, and finally to a mental disorder and a divorce. The fact that he had to be confinement for recuperation was only a pity for those in the know.
"It has nothing to do with you." Shang Ning'an replied with a stern face, as if he was facing a life-and-death enemy.
"This lady," Shang Ning'an's female companion couldn't help it. She was unable to attend the small business meeting before, and had been chatting with people in the old house and pulling relationships. At this moment, she took the initiative to stand up from the corner. Walking to Shang Ning'an's side, "You and Ning An have been divorced for more than ten years. You have no need or qualification to ask about Ning An's current situation, right?"
One person was called "Brother Ning An" and the other was called "Brother Ning An".
The whispers in the old house became louder. From the sound brought by the wind, I could almost feel the overflowing peeps, curiosity, gossip, and ridicule...
Shang Yinhe closed his eyes.
