"Shanghai?"

Professor Lu was stunned for a moment: "Aren't you climbing Baiyun Mountain? What does it mean in Shanghai?"

After a while, her head reacted from the downtime, and her face was also filled with panic that was visible to the naked eye.

"Why Weiwei went to Shanghai?"

"Why didn't she say something to us?"

"Is she safe? Where are you holding someone?"

...

A series of urgent problems all show the worry in the heart of a mother.

Even the sentence "What about the old one?" inadvertently exposed such a mentality:

Although I hate Chen, I hope they are together now, and at least their daughter's safety can be guaranteed.

"Don't worry."

Song Zuomin held his wife's palm and comforted him steadily: "Weiwei must be safe, otherwise she wouldn't send me a message."

Even though he said that, Song Zuomin still called back immediately.

Until the familiar voice of my daughter came from the phone: "Dad..."

Song Zuomin and Lu Man finally breathed a long sigh. The lost souls just now seemed to have just returned to their bodies.

The next moment, Lu Man shook her husband's hand directly. This man who had been with him for more than 20 years actually said the word "divorce" just now!

How could he be so embarrassed if I paid so much for my family?

However, now is not the time to "deal with" your husband, and the matter for your daughter is even more difficult.

Is it really hard to go to Shanghai without saying a word?

After confirming the safety of his daughter, the panic just now turned into thunder and anger. "Running away from home" is a matter of completely out of control. How could Professor Lu tolerate it?

"Song Shiwei, do you know what you are doing? Why are you going to Shanghai without hiding it? Who gave you the courage? Did Chen Zhi, did he instigate you to go..."

Even if the phone is in the hands of her husband, Professor Lu can still scold and scold the receiver loudly.

"I'll lose it!"

Chen Jie heard clearly beside him, and Professor Lu's reaction was exactly the same as expected.

Song Shiwei naturally couldn't let Chen Zhi take the blame. Besides, this was his own idea, so he said: "I want to come over, Chen Zhi is with me..."

"You still talk to him now?"

Professor Lu interrupted without saying a word.

This domineering tone of persuasion is still exactly the same as usual.

But Professor Lu seemed to have forgotten that his daughter was far away in Shanghai at this time and was determined to break the shackles of control and face her true love and annoyance in her heart.

Therefore, the best response to a mother's disrespectful behavior is to hang up the phone.

Looking at the sudden disappearing sound and the slowly dimming screen, Song Zuoming sighed.

This is often the case at home. It is obviously a matter that is not that serious or can be easily solved, but with the intervention of his wife, it eventually becomes complicated.

The key is that Professor Lu didn't notice this, and she said furiously: "Weiwei actually dares to hang up my phone. This must be Chen behind the scenes again. Call me back now!"

At this time, Professor Lu still had no idea of ​​finding the reason in himself.

Of course, she couldn't bear to blame her daughter.

So, this unlucky guy became the biggest target of venting.

Fortunately, Song Zuomin was at home, and this leader who ranked relatively high in the group was indifferent to his wife's unreasonable orders.

"Call back!"

Lu Man urged again.

"Have you ever wondered why my daughter went to Shanghai?"

Song Zuomin locked his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.

"Not Chen..."

Lu Man was about to blame this reason.

He was immediately interrupted by Song Zuomin: "Guangzhou to Shanghai are thousands of miles apart, and you will have to take two hours to buy tickets and board the plane. If Weiwei doesn't have this intention, can Chen Jie force her to do everything?"

After hearing this incisive words, Professor Lu's expression calmed down and his emotions slowly calmed down.

yes!

If the daughter doesn’t have this intention, who can force her?

"Why did Weiwei go to Shanghai?"

Professor Lu is very confused now.

During the day, she first helped the students modify papers, and at night she had a big fight with her husband, and even reached the point of "divorce". Then she faced her daughter's run away from home, feeling that she was not energetic.

However, Song Zuomin was still very calm.

Anyone who can break through the "department-level restrictor" and promote it to a department-level leader in China, no matter what their abilities and qualities are, one thing is almost certain -

Their energy must be very strong! This is certain and there is no doubt about it!

This "energy" does not refer to the sexual ability in the bed, but to be precise, it should be the body's tolerance. It is also a talent to explain it with science.

Without strong tolerance, he has long been eliminated from these trivial matters in writing articles, observing words and expressions, and communicating with cups and cups.

"Didn't she invest in a game company? That company is in Shanghai, and it seems that there is a game to be released recently."

Song Zuomin thought, "I guess it may have something to do with this."

After this analysis, Lu Man felt a little uncomfortable, and it turned out to be for work.

However, the husband continued, "Of course this is only a small part of the reason. If it is a normal business trip, why should she hide it from us?"

“…What’s the bigger reason?”

Professor Lu asked subconsciously.

In fact, just after asking, she had a vague answer in her heart. This was an obvious matter, but Professor Lu resisted and admitted it.

Because once you admit it, it is equivalent to completely denying your educational methods over the years.

"You disrupted Weiwei and Chen's birthday plans."

Song Zuomin said quietly: "My daughter is already an adult and should have the right to choose freely. She needs to be respected and listened to, not be disciplined and controlled."

"Where did I control her?!"

Lu Man's bent eyebrows suddenly stood up. She had become accustomed to being strong in this family and had long since listened to anyone's opinions.

"I'm doing it for her!"

Professor Lu stared at her husband dissatisfiedly: "Chen and Weiwei are two different circles. Chen Jie is too grassroots. Due to his vision, it is difficult to have a great future and cannot be worthy of his daughter at all!"

However, after Lu Man finished saying similar reasons this time, Song Zuomin rarely continued to argue.

"Why……"

He just sighed, as if he was completely speechless about his "obsessed" wife.

After a while, Song Zuomin said a little tiredly: "You may not listen to my opinion, but the next time, the place where my daughter ran away from home may not be Shanghai, and she may not be able to give me a message."

This sentence finally worked.

No matter how much advantage you have in language, the fact that your daughter runs away from home is right in front of you.

As her husband said, Weiwei went to Shanghai this time and it would be hard to guarantee that she would be a further place next time. What if she went abroad in anger?

Lu Man, who was fearless just now, seemed to have been lifted out of the veil of pretending to be tough, revealing his weaknesses.

She cannot lose her daughter, this is a weight that life cannot bear.

After experiencing a silence that seemed like another lifetime, Professor Lu took a deep breath: "Let's go to Shanghai."

"What's the meaning?"

Song Zuomin frowned: "Since Weiwei is safe, let her enjoy a period of free time, there is no need to deprive her immediately."

"I can let her enjoy freedom, but..."

Professor Lu held up his glasses: "Do you know whether Weiwei and Chen sleep in the same room or two at night?"

After saying that, Lu Man dropped a look and left.

Dong Song was stunned.

Then he didn't need his wife to urge him, and he took the initiative to go back to his daughter.

However, it may be that Professor Lu was wrongly accused by Chen Jie indiscriminately, and Song Shiwei's phone was turned off again.

Song Zuomin did not hesitate at all and immediately called the secretary: "Xiao Wu, help me and Professor Lu to book the fastest flight to Shanghai immediately. If you can't catch up, just use the name of the group..."

Although, I am not against the relationship between the two young people.

But now is not the time for you to do whatever you want!

...

CITIC is a behemoth, and even the Central South Air Control Bureau has to sell this face. In the end, the air ticket was successfully booked and the plane was at 11 o'clock.

Although it is almost ten o'clock now and the time is a little tight, Song Zuomin is a real privileged person. As long as he communicates well in advance, the airport can save him a lot of security check procedures.

After changing his clothes in a hurry, Song Zuomin walked out of the study and found that his wife was ready.

It seems that she is also very worried about the two young people's rest tonight.

One room or two rooms?

"Let's go."

Song Zuomin said: "Xiao Liu will arrive in at most ten minutes, so let's go downstairs to wait for him."

"Xiao Liu" is Song Zuomin's full-time driver. He sounds very young, but in fact he is also a steady adult in his 30s.

Professor Lu nodded, and the couple took the elevator and slowly walked down.

During this process, neither of them communicated, and one stood on the far left of the elevator and the other stood on the far right.

The empty space in the middle is like an invisible crack, reminding each other at all times that the word "divorce" popped up during the quarrel just now.

Song Zuomin shook his shoulders, which was a little unnatural.

Professor Lu also looked down at the tip of his shoes, as if he would rather quarrel than face his husband calmly.

A couple who have been with more than 20 years ago have developed this emotion, which shows that the trust in marriage has been shaken.

Fortunately, the elevator soon arrived on the first floor, and there were neighbors who returned from walking outside.

Neighbors who could afford this community in 2008 were either rich or noble in Guangzhou. Although everyone might not know each other, they all nodded politely and then gave way.

Humans are really a very tangled creature. They can leave the kind side of their faces to strangers, but they leave the worst temper to the closest people.

After waiting at the entrance of the community for less than 5 minutes, the familiar S600 was flying from the road with dazzling incandescent lamps.

However, after noticing the figures of Song Zuomin and Lu Man, the S600, which was roaring like a tiger, seemed to suddenly become a gentle puppy again.

Through continuous speed reduction and brake clutch, he finally stopped steadily by Song Zuoming and his wife.

This position is so precise that Song Zuomin can just pull the door and get into the car.

Who said that China does not have "seiko" enterprises? We were ahead of the world thousands of years ago.

Xiao Liu parked the car and originally planned to run down to help put the luggage, but after looking around, he found that the leader was empty.

His expression was a little confused, but when he saw Song Zuomin get into the car, he immediately went back to the driver's seat without asking much questions.

To serve the major leaders, remember to "see more, think more, do more, remember more, but not inquire more."

As the tires rubbed against the road, the vehicle started slowly. In fact, the moonlight was very good tonight and the wind was gentle.

Spring in Guangzhou gives people a very anxious feeling. It is still in March, and I always feel that early summer is about to enter any time.

Lu Man leaned against the window and quietly looked at the tide driveway in the city.

There is a very strange phenomenon in the world.

For example, before a couple breaks up, they rarely notice other couples on the road.

But once we break up, we always feel that the streets are full of loving men and women, and we can't help feeling sad when we think of the past.

Before the elders in the family passed away, they rarely remembered to take the initiative to care about them.

But once the immortal passes away, I feel that there are traces left by them everywhere in my life, and I truly realize the grief of "the son wants to be filial but the relative is not here."

Professor Lu is in this situation now, because she suddenly realized that why are there all the families who love each other on the road?

There are mother and daughter who have just returned from shopping in Sports West, father and son who pick up their children to study for evening self-study, and family who have digested food and lost weight after meals. They talked and laughed, with warm expressions on their faces.

However, after searching for memories, Lu Man couldn't even remember when the last time he took a walk with his daughter.

I have vaguely had it, but I forgot when and where I was as far away as a swaying dream.

"Is there a deep gap between me and Weiwei now?"

Lu Man opened his mouth to break the silence in the car, and his eyes were still looking out the window.

Xiao Liu drove the car without saying a word and became a "deaf person".

Song Zuomin was sending a micro message to Song Shi, probably just a tactful reminder:

Dad supports you in your courageous pursuit of freedom, but considering that you are still young, it is best to stay in the stage of "feeling affection and stopping courtesy"...

It was actually a bit awkward to say these words between the father and daughter, but in order not to allow the two young people to make too rapid progress, Song Dong didn't care about so much.

Suddenly hearing a stupid sentence from his wife, Song Zuomin stopped typing.

He wanted to say that the estrangement was not just created "now", but it actually existed early.

"Many times, you think that's care, but you should actually ask your daughter more about your opinion."

Song Zuomin said: "After all, we cannot just consider others from our own perspective."

After saying that, Lao Song changed his position and continued to send messages to his daughter.

Song Zuomin has not known how many times have he reminded him of such exhortations before, but is it useful?

Maybe there will be some effect at that time, but it will soon be "resurrected".

So Song Zuomin had given up and he was too lazy to talk.

Looking at her husband who was so perfunctory to comfort her, and both of them were clearly sitting in the back row, but there was a gap in the middle, as if no one wanted to be next to each other.

"So there is a gap between Lao Song and me."

Lu Man hid in the dark in the carriage, and the street lights could not be illuminated.

The vehicle is like a shaking red wine glass, and I always feel that tears will be shaken out the next moment.

Professor Lu sniffed and held back, but he was still very aggrieved.

I am clearly dedicated to this family, why do both the father and daughter hate me so much?

······

Just as Song Zuomin and Professor Lu rushed to Shanghai overnight, Chen and Song Shiwei were already walking in Xiafei Lane.

White clouds were clustered, and a few sparse stars were leaked.

The moonlight is faint, covering the quiet alley.

The Shanghai alley does have a unique artistic conception, especially this style that was continued in the Republic of China era.

On both sides are dense old houses, mostly two- or three-story Shikumen buildings. The facade retains the appearance of the early 2000s. The gray walls are mottled and the bluestone pavement is uneven.

There are traces of time everywhere, as if every house has its own unique story, and every door and window tells the romanticism of the past.

These small buildings are not idle, but are full of people, shuttled through them, and occasionally you can hear neighbors whispering at home:

"The weather is getting better today, and the moon is so bright. Do you want to have a coffee together?"

It seems to be talking to a friend.

"No matter how naughty I am, I don't call me Nong to live!"

This is mostly about educating children.

"Mr. Zhou, in the first half of the Ming Dynasty, will Alla go to the road to sway the road to cut down?"

This is probably a spoiled act between a couple or a couple.

...

These dialect dialogues are like trickles, flowing in every corner of the alley, so that even the fireworks smell like a little bourgeoisie.

Chen listened with a smile, and couldn't help but remember that when the driver heard Song Shiwei's call with his parents just now, his face changed slightly.

I thought this was a newlywed couple who came to Shanghai for a trip, but now I realized that they were young people who ran away without telling their parents.

If this were replaced by a "stable" city, such as the capital, the middle-aged driver might persuade him earnestly:

My parents are all for your own good. Young people, it’s better to go back early to apologize to their parents.

However, when Chen Jie got off the car after paying the bill, he turned his head and said with a frown: "Young man, free love is great, Alla Shanghai welcomes you!"

Chen raised his eyebrows and accepted the master's blessing with a smile.

In the city of Shanghai, romance is penetrated into the bones. Even during the Republic of China more than a hundred years ago, there were many lovers who avoided arranged marriages and found a place to live in these alleys.

Elopement may be a sign of disobedience elsewhere.

But in Shanghai, that is the brave act of "boldly pursuing oneself".

The sky is like ink, with stars sprinkling, and the road under your feet is like a galaxy in the water, pressing against a string of old dreams.

Chen and Song Shiwei walked very slowly, talking nonsense, sometimes suddenly quieted down, and there was no embarrassment between each other.

Walking is a very romantic thing. Two people can talk about the scenery in front of them, their recent life, and their interesting things in the past...

The pace is consistent and you don’t have to look at each other all the time. The atmosphere is relaxed and romantic. Occasionally passing vehicles or the leaves scattered on the roadside will become the new topic of this conversation.

Even if I say I am tired, it will be very comfortable to remain silent for a while.

Chen and Song Shiwei walked the entire Xiafei Lane. No one had the idea of ​​ending the walk, so they randomly chose a quiet path and stepped on it aimlessly.

Although it seems to be walking aimlessly, it also has a strong sense of companionship.

In the early morning of the night, the moonlight as faint as a kiss mark, and your lover accompanied you on the streets of a strange city.

Is this a walk?

No!

This is the ripples of the cycle of beautiful memories many years later.

Finally, the two arrived at Huangpu River.

Of course it is not the most lively Bund, but an unknown riverside. The moonlight shines on the water, and the blue-black rivers hit the embankment, as if telling the tenderness of the night.

It was almost midnight at this time, and there were still people swaying by the river. The first-tier cities were full of vitality, almost all the cities that never sleep.

"It's already very late, can you find a place to stay?"

Chen looked at it and saw that the time was almost over, so he suggested looking for a hotel to rest first.

By the way, have another birthday.

“Okay~”

Song Shi nodded slightly and agreed. Although she had been away for almost two hours, she did not feel tired at all, and even felt that time passed so quickly.

So, we can sing, eat hot pot, and go shopping with our friends, but we will only take a walk with him or her.

There are also some small hotels near the riverside. If it were a man, he might have stayed in by himself.

However, with Sister Sweet, Chen still took a few more detours and finally came to the prestigious Shanghai Garden Hotel.

This hotel is an old five-star, with a slightly outdated appearance, but its reputation is good and safety guaranteed.

The more famous Oriental Wenhua or Bund W in later generations have not been built yet, and this one is one of the few choices.

Because it was a weekend, many people at the front desk were checking in, and the two of them could only stand in the magnificent lobby and wait.

After a while, the service staff on duty in the lobby saw it, first glanced at Chen and Song Shiwei holding hands, and then said politely:

"Hello, what kind of room do you want to book? Queen Room? Senior Queen Room? Deluxe Queen Room? Or Deluxe Queen Room?"

"Um?"

Chen Jie had no other intentions at first, just one room for each person, and he planned to call Sister Cos at night.

However, when the hotel service staff said that it was a big bed, a high-end queen bed or a luxurious queen bed, it seemed that it was the same bed!

"Damn!"

Chen Zhu was immediately excited. Could he have a chance to sleep together tonight?

I swear, I promised to just be a hug and do nothing else.
Chapter completed!
