"Brother Jiang Bai, why didn't you tell me when you came to school?"
Chu Mo asked Chu Jiangbai.
Chu Jiangbai was squatting on the ground using experimental equipment to collect data. He was a little surprised when he saw Chu Mo.
He said in a gentle voice: "We are in a hurry. I was afraid that you would miss it, so I didn't tell you. How are you doing recently? Are you still used to school life?"
"I'm fine." Chu Mo nodded, wanting to say something, but not knowing what to say.
Chu Jiangbai didn't know what to say for a moment, and the atmosphere was a bit silent.
He handed a lollipop in his pocket to Chu Mo. Chu Mo took it naturally, then peeled it open and ate it.
When he was a child, he loved to eat sweets, but his parents were afraid that he would get cavities if he ate too much, so they refused to give him more.
So he always blackmailed Brother Jiang Bai for his share, and Brother Jiang Bai always left candy for him. He was afraid that he would get cavities and had to watch him brush his teeth before going to bed every night.
After so many years, he still loves to eat sweets, especially the ones given to him by Brother Jiang Bai.
Chu Jiangbai looked at Chu Mo eating sweets, his cheeks bulging, and he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to move Chu Mo's head.
Wherever he has grown up, he is clearly still a child.
The master and the servant were talking intermittently. It didn't take long for Chu Jiangbai's data to be collected. He took the instrument and was about to return to the laboratory. The professor was already urging him.
When Chu Jiangbai left, he moved Chu Mo's head again and told him to study hard.
After Chu Jiangbai left, Chu Mo chewed the candy in his mouth.
He felt that Brother Jiang Bai still treated him as a child, and he felt very unhappy.
So he decided to study harder and do something great that only adults can do, so that Brother Jiang Bai would look at him with admiration.
Let brother Jiang Bai know that he has grown up, he is no longer the boy he used to be, but a man.
Chu Mo majored in finance. From then on, whenever there was an exam, he would only get the first place. He also had a thorough understanding of the stock market at a young age and earned the first pot of gold in his life.
During the winter vacation, he went home as soon as he got off, hoping to see brother Jiang Bai at home.
But Brother Jiang Bai has not come back for a long time. Every time he sends a message to urge Brother Jiang Bai, Brother Jiang Bai never gives him an accurate answer as to when he can go home.
Chu Jiangbai is actually very busy. Even the top instructors are half-understood in this field they are studying, so the space for research is now very large, and there are new developments almost every month.
So his work, or rather the work of their institute, became very busy.
On the day before the New Year, Chu Jiangbai hurried back home.
The Chu family and the servants sat together for dinner. There was a large table of sumptuous dishes on the table. It was so sumptuous that Chu Jiangbai thought he had remembered the time wrong and thought that tonight was New Year's Eve.
At the dinner table, Chu Mo showed off his achievements fiercely, and glanced at brother Jiang Bai from time to time, hoping that he would praise himself and realize that he had really grown up.
Chu Jiangbai smiled, as if he had seen through Chu Mo's little thoughts.
As long as he still thinks about letting Brother Jiang Bai praise him, he will always be a child.
Chu Jiangbai left without staying at home for two days. When Chu Mo got up, he found a box of candy next to his pillow, and Brother Jiang Bai's room became cold again.
Brother Jiang Bai left again.
He was very disappointed.
How can I stay with brother Jiang Bai forever...
Shi Ran saw with his own eyes the scene before Chu Jiangbai left. He put down a box of candy on Chu Mo's bedside and gently kissed Chu Mo's forehead.
Like a butterfly flapping its wings.
Shi Ran had already realized that Chu Jiangbai's kiss was definitely not innocent!
This relationship, this love between master and servant, was not Chu Mo who fell in love with Chu Jiangbai first, but Chu Mo who Chu Jiangbai fell in love with first.
It's just that he has been holding back.
He knew that this master-servant relationship was not tolerated in the world. If the two of them fell into it regardless, it would only attract endless infamy and verbal criticism.
He could not be sorry for the lady who brought him back to this home from the orphanage. He could not let his adoptive father, who had been a driver for the Chu family for half his life, be humiliated. He could not let Chu Mo, the biological son of the lady, live his life with infamy.
So he hid his feelings deep in his heart, locked them up, and sealed them away forever, as if they had never happened.
He was just a servant, and he was just a young master.
I thought everything would pass in such a dull way, and they would walk on two different roads, meeting each other from time to time, laughing, and then separating again to continue walking their own paths.
But the appearance of a person broke everything that was originally beautiful.
It was getting dark before Chu Jiangbai came out of the research institute.
At this time, he was already Professor Chu. He no longer lived in the dormitory assigned by the institute, but bought an apartment by himself.
Chu Jiangbai walked towards his car parked in the parking space and was about to get in when a woman suddenly stopped him.
"Jiang Bai."
Chu Jiangbai frowned when he heard this, who is it? Why only the last two words of his name?
He didn't seem to be that familiar with anyone.
Chu Jiangbai looked up and saw a woman getting out of a luxury car parked behind.
She was wearing a fashionable dark brown suit, high heels on her feet, and she slowly took off her sunglasses with several rings on her hands.
She is a woman with a beautiful face, but the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes and the nasolabial folds at the bottom of her nose betray her age. She must be in her forties.
At this time, she was looking at Chu Jiangbai with an expression of reunion after a long separation.
For a moment, Chu Jiangbai almost thought that this person was his biological mother.
"Who are you?" Chu Jiangbai frowned and looked at the approaching woman, asking in confusion.
The woman stepped forward and wanted to hold Chu Jiangbai's hand, but he dodged her.
With tears in her eyes, she smiled awkwardly, clasped her fingers on the sunglasses in her hand, and said in a weeping voice: "Jiang Bai, I am your aunt Jiang Rong."
Chu Jiangbai's brows furrowed even deeper. Why didn't he know that he had an aunt named Jiang Rong?
The two came to the cafe across the street to chat.
This woman named Jiang Rong told the old story in detail.
It turns out that Chu Jiangbai was not an orphan at birth. He was not abandoned by his parents in an orphanage as soon as he was born. He was sent to an orphanage after his parents were forced to jump off a building and died by the Chu family.
More than 20 years ago, the Jiang Group and the Chu Group were in a competitive relationship, and Chu Jiangbai's current adoptive parents were in a competitive relationship with his biological parents.
In this conflict between Chu and Han, the Jiang Group was gradually defeated and was about to go downhill. In order to gain greater benefits, his biological father made a desperate investment under the instigation of others.
It was the failure of this investment that caused Jiang's bankruptcy.
Chu Jiangbai's biological father couldn't accept it and jumped from the Jiang's Building. Within two days, Chu Jiangbai's biological mother also jumped from the building because she couldn't bear the impending bankruptcy of the group and the high debt.
At this point, the Jiang Group was annexed by the Chu Group and became part of the Chu Group.
At that time, Chu Jiangbai was just over a year old. After his parents died, he was sent to an orphanage.
The reason why the Chu family adopted Chu Jiangbai a year later and then adopted Chu Jiangbai to the driver was not a coincidence, but another reason.
