Chapter 982 Brothers Gather
Although John and Liu Chengjun are identical twins, the growth environment of his and Liu Chengjun is completely different, which leads to the fact that the two have very different personalities. Liu Chengjun has the integrity of a soldier, and the pattern and ambition of a politician. But John is more of a master of his teacher's insidiousness and cunning, and more of a businessman's plan.
Although Liu Chengjun had already realized this when he first heard about John's life experience. However, he was a brother after all, and he was a brother who was only a few minutes apart. Liu Chengjun was never willing to think too badly about John. When John invited Liu Chengjun to meet, although Liu Chengjun had some expectations in his heart, he did not refuse at all and came to the agreed hotel without hesitation.
John had arrived early in the morning. Looking at the familiar back, Liu Chengjun felt a sense of dreaming. He even wondered if he was thinking too much and was dreaming.
"Brother, you are here." John seemed to notice Liu Chengjun's gaze, turned his head, stood up and greeted Liu Chengjun.
"How do you know I am an older brother?" Liu Chengjun blurted out and asked. After asking, he realized that his question seemed too stupid.
"Intuition tells me that you are your brother, and I am your brother." John smiled, smiling, there was no meaning of ridicule in his smile.
"Is that so? Is it intuition or what my father told you?" Liu Chengjun sat down, as if he was unintentional, but seemed to be asking.
"Before my father told me, I had already decided that you should be my brother. At that time, I had already seen your news on TV. I was a particularly famous hero." John smiled with harmless face, and his eyes were like a child was really full of pride and yearning for his brother.
But John's words were a slap for Liu Chengjun. Uncle Liu told John everything, but he never revealed it to Liu Chengjun. For more than thirty years, Liu Chengjun knew that his father didn't often want to go abroad. It was not easy for politicians to go abroad. Liu Chengjun always thought that it was also a work need. But now when I think about it, Uncle Liu went abroad more often just to see John.
"But over the years, I don't know your existence at all, and I don't know that I have a younger brother at all." Liu Chengjun cursed the corners of his mouth, and felt bitter in his heart. Perhaps from the beginning, Uncle Liu had already thought about who to train and who to give up.
"But for so many years, you have been by my father's side, but I have never been able to enjoy family happiness. Every time I get your news from the Internet, I feel very envious. No matter from any perspective, you are the one who is the most proud of in my father's heart. And I am just a son who is fostered outside." John said a little sad.
"But at least you know the inside story, and I didn't know your existence until you appeared. In his heart, there was a long separation of closeness and distantness." Liu Chengjun said, under the table, John couldn't see, clenched his fists tightly.
"Brother, no matter what, he is our father. Although I can't help but blame him in my heart, I know that he has his own difficulties. I heard that you have not had a good relationship with him recently. If he has something wrong, we, as sons, should not worry about him." John's eyes were sincere, just like an ordinary brother's request to his brother.
"The things between us may not be able to end with a word of forgiveness. You may not understand this feeling. I admire him since I was a child. He has always been my role model, but one day, I was told that he was not what I imagined. Everything about him was just disguised for a huge conspiracy. I don't even know whether all his cultivation and expectations for me have been like this from the beginning. That feeling is the collapse of faith." Liu Chengjun's eyes were filled with melancholy, and that melancholy made John's eyelids twitch.
Uncle Liu brought him up in a wealthy family. John has been used to fighting between wealthy families since he was a child. Being open and honest is no big difference between him and death. John, who has always lived in the darkness, has never seen a person like Liu Chengjun. His integrity makes him feel ashamed.
But the more you feel ashamed, the more you make John feel angry. Why are there such a big difference between two people born on the same day? If he hadn't been sent away and if he had been growing up with Uncle Liu, he would have been an upright person. But from the beginning, fate did not give him a chance to choose, and he did not make a good choice from the beginning.
"Brother, even so, he is still his father." John used his fingernails to bleed his palms in a corner that Liu Chengjun could not see.
"Yes, I can't change my origin, but I can change my destiny. As long as I'm not like him, my destiny will be different. John, I know you must have suffered a lot outside over the years. I know he must have given you a lot of ideas to instill, but we are already in our thirties and should have our own judgment. Everything he gives may not be right." Liu Chengjun put his hands on the table, approaching John a little closer to him, trying to convince him.
As soon as Liu Chengjun approached, John inexplicably wanted to retreat. He was like a person who had been in the dark for a long time. When he looked directly at the sun, it was inevitable that he was a little dazzling. John's sitting posture changed for a while, and retreated his butt and stayed away from Liu Chengjun.
"Brother, I'm not like you. You can choose, but I have no choice." John said in a low voice as if he was muttering.
A short sentence has already made Liu Chengjun understand John's position. They should have been the two closest people, but because of their father's deliberate training, they have to stand on a hostile standpoint.
After leaving the hotel, Liu Chengjun fell into a long silence. He was wondering, if his father had planned what to do from the beginning, why should he stay by his side and receive such an upright atmosphere education. If he was exiled to a big family like John, he might have a better heart. At least, he would not have to make choices between his relatives and his own beliefs.
"Jiang Jueli, come out and have a drink." Liu Chengjun dialed Jiang Jueli's number and sent out a brief invitation. At this time, he didn't even have anyone to complain. Even though Wang Yi was his wife, he didn't want Wang Yike to fall into this mystery because of his entanglement.
When Jiang Jueli arrived at the bar, Liu Chengjun had already drunk a lot of alcohol. Liu Chengjun had always had a good alcohol tolerance, but after these bottles of wine, Liu Chengjun was obviously a little confused.
"Old Jiang, you are here!" Liu Chengjun smiled, grabbed Jiang Jueli's neckline, and looked at Jiang Jueli half drunk and half awake.
Although there was a smile on the corner of Liu Chengjun's mouth, Jiang Jueli could not see any happiness in his eyes, but sadness was almost overflowing. Liu Chengjun's forbearance and pain made Jiang Jueli's always iron-blooded heart unable to help but sigh.
"I've almost finished drinking. I'll take you back. I'll worry in a while." When Jiang Jueli went out, Wang Yike called Chen Shi and said that Liu Chengjun had been wrong since he knew there was a twin brother, and now there was no news all day. As a wife, how could Wang Yike not worry about Liu Chengjun's condition? She could understand Liu Chengjun's inner impact too much. That was not a deep disappointment with Uncle Liu in just one or two sentences.
"I won't go back! I won't go back! I'm back now, she won't worry anymore? Jueli, we have known each other for a long time. You have known me for so many years, and I have hardly disappointed her. But in the past two years, I have always disappointed her and worried her. And all of these elements of disappointment and worry are because of him." Liu Chengjun shook Jiang Jueli's arm away and lay on the table willfully, not allowing her to leave.
"Occasionally, I would also wonder. Should I give up my ideals and my beliefs? No matter how chaotic the world is, he will still take care of me. As long as I turn a blind eye to the things outside the window, can I forget that I will be free from such pain. As long as I act deaf and dumb, it is enough!" Liu Chengjun said, and suddenly took another big sip of wine.
In fact, Liu Chengjun's current thoughts are not the question that Jiang Jueli has always questioned him. He clearly knew that as long as he always stood in this position, the contradictions and disputes would not stop, but Jiang Jueli still did not have the courage to give up these. It is actually not so difficult for him to give up Chenlou. The difficulty is to give up his ambition and live a dull life with Chen Shi from then on.
"Many times, we have no choice. Cheng Jun, you cannot give up not because of yourself. But behind you, there are too many people who need you to maintain. You cannot really give up just by saying "Give up." Jiang Jueli didn't know whether he was convincing Liu Chengjun or persuading himself.
"These are just fools. After all, it is because I am unwilling to give up my current status and honor. In fact, what is the difference between me and him? It's just that our goals are different and our methods are different. After all, it's not for our own selfishness." Liu Chengjun threw the bottle to the ground, as if he was extremely disappointed with himself.
Liu Chengjun's sound of a glass bottle not only attracted attention from all directions, but also made Jiang Jueli suddenly wake up as if he had woken up from a dream.
