On the dance floor, the deafening music bombarded people's hearts like a pacemaker, prompting the blood in the body to speed up. The dim and psychedelic lights flashed, freezing every moment of the swaying figures of these flesh-and-blood people. .
The young people who come here seem to be all the same, but in this kind of place, from the moment people have the desire to consume, they have been divided into three, six, and nine grades.
At this time, on the second floor of the nightclub, He Tianran was not in a hurry to find Xue Yong. Instead, he held his hands on the railing and looked down at the various living beings below.
Here, he saw a greasy middle-aged man hugging a young girl. The girl obviously had a reluctant look on her face, but she still turned her head to smile and hug the old man.
He also saw eight or nine boys huddled together in some booths. They were playing hard with finger-picking and matching black and white, and the girl's little thoughts were clearly visible.
He could also see girls with pretty faces going from one booth to another, dragging the sisters from that booth to other booths, and the girls being intimate with the men in one booth. Afterwards, he quietly ran to kiss the man in another booth.
He Tianran couldn't say he was disgusted by this. Nightclubs can amplify everyone's social behavior ten thousand times, whether it is virtue or vice. Apart from the bed of a hotel, there is no place more suitable for analyzing the human heart than a nightclub.
At this time, there was a feminine boy wearing gold-rimmed glasses standing next to him, holding a bottle of Dom Pérignon in his right hand and an empty bottle in his left hand, pouring himself wine.
"Brother, I was stunned when you called me. I didn't expect to meet you here."
The person who spoke was none other than He Tianran's half-brother, He Yuanchong.
Hearing this, He Tianran turned around, stretched out the wine glass in his hand with a smile, the two of them touched each other, and he said:
"You'd better just call me by my name. You're not even a few months younger than me. I really don't get used to it when you call me brother."
He Yuanchong drank it all in one gulp and said with an apologetic smile: "We are a family, we are brothers, that's how we should be."
brother?
He Tianran smiled and shook his head, thinking that their family was really amazing. He, He Panshan's biological son, didn't want to recognize him as his father, but he, the spoiler brought by his second wife, worked hard. I really want to integrate into this family.
Too lazy to talk about this with him, He Tianran joked: "I just saw your parked car outside, so I called you. You said He Panshan was really stingy, asking you to park a broken X5." It’s so shameless among a bunch of supercars, isn’t it?”
He Yuanchong looked at his brother and couldn't make up his mind for a moment. He didn't know how to answer this sentence.
There are enough cars in He Panshan's garage, but as long as he doesn't say anything, only the driver, Uncle Hu, can get started.
"No, my dad originally said he wanted to buy me a new one during the summer vacation, but I saw that the X5 had been sitting in the garage and hadn't been touched much, so I begged him to just give me the car. No more wasting money.”
What He Yuanchong said made people and animals harmless, and He Tianran said happily:
"Then you made the wrong choice."
"Ah? What do you say?"
"Then the Panamera in his garage has been gathering dust for much longer than this X5. Why didn't you choose that car?"
He Yuanchong was stunned. He knew that this car was specially bought by He Panshan as a gift to He Tianran last year. The purpose was to encourage him to be obedient and enter college. Fortunately, due to He Tianran's rebellion, this car The car keys were not handed over to him in the end.
He Panshan wanted his son to study finance, and He Yuanchong obediently followed all the tough arrangements for his son, and did a very good job. He chose this car because he wanted to gradually replace He Tianran's position in his father's heart.
It doesn't matter if you are not your biological child, you can do this slowly, your mother will help you, and time will one day dilute all the barriers.
In response to He Tianran's question, He Yuanchong wisely chose to avoid the important and take the easy: "Isn't it because I'm afraid...if I choose those million-dollar cars, my dad will think I'm ignorant..."
"Haha, no. In fact, you should learn from the following group of people, so that you can be more pure." He Tianran smiled casually and tapped the dance floor below with his finger.
"I don't quite understand...Brother."
"Come and let me tell you."
He Tianran put his arms around his younger brother's shoulders. He Yuanchong bowed slightly in response and listened to the other person whispering:
"If you write your desires on your face like these people below, he will like it more. Really, I won't lie to you."
Patting his brother on the back, the two gradually separated.
He Tianran had a smile on his face, and He Yuanchong pushed up his glasses and smiled in response.
"Come on, brother, have another drink."
"OK."
The wine was filled again and after one glass was consumed, neither of them delved further into the topic.
He Yuanchong felt that He Tianran had changed so much this year that he was inexplicably jealous when facing him now. In fact, in the eyes of these two people, their perception of each other was extremely different.
What kind of person was He Tianran in the past?
He was obviously born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He didn't know how to cherish the resources and wealth accumulated by his parents, but he chose to be a dou. He was withdrawn and naive. Even starting from the punch at the beginning of winter last year, He Tianran's personality was gradually changing. , but in He Yuanchong's eyes, this is just an impulsive idiot at best.
But now...
He Yuanchong couldn't explain this change. Was it because he suddenly got a good result in the art exam and gained confidence? Or is it that after going to college, the changes in the environment suddenly enlightened you?
In any case, there is no conflict between the two on the surface now, and He Yuanchong decided to wait and see what happens before making any plans.
Just when the two were about to chat, they saw a girl walking up to the second floor. She looked around and saw He Yuanchong, her face lit up with joy, she ran over and hugged his neck without any scruples. , said coquettishly:
"Yuan Chong, what are you talking about? I can't see you when I come. I've been looking for you for a long time!"
He Tianran looked at the girl. She had a pretty face, fashionable clothes, and was wearing brand-name goods. However, she looked young, but the makeup on her face seemed a little too delicate. Such a style would be a bit neglectful.
"Stop making trouble, look who this is."
He Yuanchong smiled and took off the girl's arm. The girl also heard the sound and looked at He Tianran. She immediately stopped playing and became reserved. She stood aside and shouted:
"Brother Tianran..."
"..."
He Tianran was confused by the call. He asked with a little doubt: "Do you know me? Have we... met?"
The girl's face suddenly became embarrassed. He Yuanchong helped her out and said:
"Brother, you forgot, she is Uncle Xie's daughter, Xie Yanyan. At the beginning of winter last year, we ate mutton together at home. This year she came to the house to pay New Year greetings, but you ate it on New Year's Eve. We’ll go back after dinner.”
Only then did He Tianran remember that there was indeed such a girl. Her father was a business partner of He Panshan...
Other than that...it seems...there is no other impression.
"Oh, I remembered, hello."
"Brother Tianran, long time no see..."
Because the impression that He Tianran had knocked down He Yuanchong with one punch was so profound, Xie Yanyan couldn't help but be cautious when facing He Tianran.
"Brother, are you here with your friend? How about you call me and come to my table together?"
"Yes, Brother Tianran, I will call a group of Tiancai sisters and introduce them to you later! We were just chatting and planning to go to Macau during the weekend. Do you want to come with us..."
"Yanyan, sit down for a while and say, aren't you tired of just standing and chatting?"
He Yuanchong smiled and interrupted Xie Yanyan's speech, and the girl realized it later.
"Yes, Brother Tianran, where is your friend?"
After He Tianran listened to the conversation between the two, he looked in one direction and said in a warm and noncommittal voice: "I am indeed here to find someone. I haven't told him yet, but I have already seen him."
"Really? Then let's go over and say hello to them!"
Xie Yanyan suggested cheerfully.
"Okay, let's go, Yuan Chong, I'll take you to meet my only brother. Give me the wine."
"Okay, brother."
The only brother?
He Yuanchong handed over the bottle and sneered in his heart. The thorn in his words was self-evident.
Xue Yong's group was also seated on the second floor, but his back was to He Tianran and his group, and he was busy pushing cups and changing cups, so he never saw them.
He Tianran walked all the way, came behind Xue Yong, and said with a smile:
"Hey, silly~"
Xue Yong was bragging about his physical performance during military training at the police academy with a few friends. When he heard a curse word coming from behind, which seemed to be scolding himself, he turned his head viciously and found that it was actually a man named Yue Wei. My friend suddenly shouted in surprise:
"Fuck! He Tianran!"
He stood up happily. He Tianran raised his chin slightly and motioned for him to pick up the wine glass on the table.
"Why are you here? You really miss me, Hier..."
Xue Yong burped and hurriedly picked up the wine glass with a smile on his face and intermittently talking happily. But at this moment, something happened suddenly. Everyone saw He Tianran suddenly raising Tang Perry in his hand. Well, hit Xue Yong on the head and hit it hard!
"Snapped!!!"
"ah!"
The sound of broken wine bottles, men's screams, and women's screams came one after another in an instant. Xue Yong squatted on the ground in pain, covering his head with his hands, and a bright red slowly penetrated between his forehead and hair. The men and women in the surrounding booths saw The situation was instantly chaotic.
The nightclub's security personnel came looking for the sound, but were stopped by He Yuanchong, who was relatively calm on the side.
His identity as a financial sponsor is well known to the entire nightclub staff.
Xie Yanyan beside her was so surprised that she couldn't speak. She really couldn't understand why He Tianran, who had been so amiable just now and said he was looking for his brother, suddenly made such an outrageous move.
The same was true for He Yuanchong, but he suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked hurriedly:
"You...what are you doing?"
He Tianran casually threw away the broken wine bottle in his hand, clapped his hands, and said with a smile:
"It's okay. The way we treat brothers is a little different."
