The secretary knocked on the door, and Guan Ze responded on the chair: "Enter."

The door was pushed open, and the secretary entered the office: "Mr. Guan, Mr. Lin is looking for you."

Guan Ze looked at the man behind the station secretary, stood up and smiled.

"Lin Zong." The man walked to his table and stretched out his hand.

"Guan Ze," Guan Ze reached out and shook him, "Sit down."

"Mr. Lin drinks tea or coffee?" asked the secretary.

Lin Zong glanced at Guan Ze’s table and said, “Tea, thank you.”

When the secretary was about to go out, Guan Ze called her and pointed to his cabinet: "That tea."

"Okay." The secretary opened the cabinet and took out the tea. The company's tea room was filled with very ordinary tea. When important customers came, Guan Ze would ask her to use her own tea.

When the secretary made tea, neither of them spoke, but just sat quietly across the table. The atmosphere made the little girl a little nervous. She put the tea in front of Lin Zong, said, "You'll have tea, and then hurriedly retreated."

Lin Zong picked up the tea and took a sip: "Good tea, but unfortunately the water temperature is high."

Guan Ze smiled. Lin Zong and Lin Yao looked very similar. Both of them should look like their mothers for five views, but Lin Zong felt that Lin Yao was completely unhappy, sophisticated and oppressed.

This temperament is not suitable for children who are cared for by Lin Yao. I guess he will never let Guan Ze feel the indoor low pressure like Lin Zong.

The old fox gave birth to a little fox?

"How about I'll take a bath again." Guan Ze smiled and prepared to stand up.

"Don't," Lin Zong waved his hand and put the teacup back on the table, "I'm not here to have tea."

Guan Ze leaned back into the chair. Of course, Lin Zong was not here to have tea. He didn't say anything, waiting for Lin Zong to speak. He knew why Lin Zong came, but he was not sure what Lin Zong was. He could only say that Lin Zong was not just here to meet.

"Sorry, I'll investigate you," Lin Zong took out a neatly stacked piece of paper from the inner bag of the jacket and threw it on the table. "I don't think you would mind."

Guan Ze took the paper, opened it and looked at it. The information above was so detailed that he raised his eyebrows. How long did Lin Zong take to investigate these? When did it start?

"Lin Yao doesn't look like you in this regard." Guan Ze put down the paper and looked at Lin Zong.

"That's why you are interested in him." Lin Zong smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"It's not all because of this." Guan Ze stared at Lin Zong. Lin Zong's attitude made him suddenly react. It was too late for Lin Yao to worry that Lin Zong would find out that it was simply too late. Lin Zong should have known it a long time ago.

"Nothing went wrong. You had girlfriends before. There was no sign that you were interested in men," Lin Zong held his forehead and looked at him, "Why?"

"It's hard to explain this kind of thing, there's no reason," Guan Ze was very calm, his speech speed never changed. "It doesn't mean you will never suddenly feel about a man when you keep having a girlfriend."

"Guan Ze," Lin Zong sat upright, his tone changed a little, "My brother is very simple and naive. He has no clear concept of feelings, so he needs whatever he wants, and the consequences are not the first thing he will consider."

"I know this." Guan Ze smiled. Lin Yao said from the beginning that he only wanted to have a response to the relationship, and he would not take care of other things for the time being.

"Then you should know that he didn't dare to tell his family at all." Lin Zong picked up the cup and drank a sip of tea.

"yes."

"That's why I came here today. What do you want to do?"

The Lin Zong problem surprised Guan Ze a little. What did he want to do? To be honest, he never thought about it.

"Lin Yao wants to eat candy, but I am willing to give it to him, so I give it to him, it's that simple." Guan Ze replied.

"Where is the sugar gone?" Lin Zong stood up and looked at him with his hands on the table. "He dared not tell his family, how do you plan to play with him?"

"The candy will not be gone. As long as he wants it, I will give it to it," Guan Ze frowned. Lin Zong's aggressive words made him feel a little uncomfortable, "He doesn't want it anymore, and I won't keep smashing him with candy."

"It seems to be serious." Lin Zong also frowned.

"I haven't played it."

"Then I'll make it clear," Lin Zong sat back in the chair, "I won't let Lin Yao have a chance to speak to his family. It's useless if he gets stuck in it, so if you are serious, please think carefully about the consequences that will make him fall deeper and deeper."

Guan Ze didn't say anything. He originally wanted to have a good talk with Lin Zong. Although Lin Yao was afraid of Lin Zong, he could see that the two brothers had a good relationship. He felt that if one of them could support Lin Yao, it would be Lin Zong.

Lin Zong's tough attitude was a bit beyond his expectations.

"If he doesn't like women, what's the point of doing this?" Guan Ze flicked his finger on the table. "I also made it clear that I won't force Lin Yao to tell his family, but as long as he says, I will definitely not quit."

Lin Zong stared at him for a long time, then sighed: "Do you know, our family used to be very hard. My father used to work on a bread project outside. At the beginning, he was cheated and sold his house. He hasn't returned home for several years."

Guan Ze didn't say anything, listening quietly. Although he didn't know why Lin Zong suddenly said this, he was willing to listen. Lin Yao was still young at that time and had a vague memory of these days.

"My mother took us alone to make money to support us and deal with the debtors every day. I can't remember how many times my mother's small grocery store was smashed," Lin Zong took the cup and shook his hand. "Lin Yao didn't feel it, but I could see clearly how much hardship my mother suffered. My mother said that if it weren't for our brothers, she wouldn't have survived."

Guan Ze was still silent, but he had already begun to understand what Lin Zong meant.

"Lin Yaoshi, I know first that it's not me," Lin Zong smiled, "It's my mother."

Guan Ze was a little surprised. Lin Yao’s mother? Who always smiled and was as innocent as Lin Yao?

"I really didn't expect this." Guan Ze said.

"My mother can't accept it. She is a traditional woman. She can't accept it or understand it. Her big wish is that we can get married and have children, and we will be together." Lin Zong finally said the point, "So she has always pretended not to know, because she was afraid that once she was provoked, it would be irreversible. She naively waited for Lin Yao to like the girl when she grew up."

"I understand what you mean." Guan Ze pinched his fingers. Lin Zong's reason was much stronger than his tough demands that he should not let Lin Yao continue to fall.

A mother who is dedicated to her son, but she wants to repay her is just that her son can get married and have children normally.

"I won't let my mother suffer any harm, even if this person is my brother," Lin Zong brushed his pants, stood up again and held the table, slowly pressing him to Guan Ze. "Guan Ze, don't let our family experience any more pain. Lin Yao is too naive. Once he has taken care of his family since he was a child, he can't handle it at all."

Guan Ze didn't speak or move, just leaned quietly into the chair.

Lin Zong investigated him and knew that he was in the past and could accurately find his vulnerability.

He always envied Lin Yao for having such a warm home. He had poor cooking skills but loved his mother wholeheartedly. The family had never been changed to a gentle atmosphere. All of this was something he longed to have but never could have.

Lin Zong accurately punched him and couldn't touch his weakness, causing his thoughts to become messy in an instant.

Every time Lin Yao's mother saw him, there was a deep pain behind her smile and kindness. This was something he never thought of, and she couldn't accept it.

"I'm here to find you, my mother doesn't know," Lin Zong put the paper on the table into the shredder next to him, watching the scraps of paper slide into the trash can, "She knows that she won't let me come, but fortunately I'm here."

Lin Zong turned around and looked at Guan Ze: "I'm worried that you are serious."

"Are you afraid that I can't let go?" Guan Ze didn't look at him, his eyes fell on the blinds opposite him.

"Yes, but," Lin Zong zipped the jacket, "You're much calmer than I thought, and you'll handle it."

Guan Ze didn't notice when Lin Zong left the office. It was not until the secretary knocked on the door and came in and put a fax on his desk that he came back to his senses from his chaotic thoughts.

My head started to hurt, and my temples were beating and tying.

After taking the fax, he glanced around and put it down. He found that he could not understand the above content at all.

The phone shook and Lin Yao texted.

Just three words, the tea room.

Guan Ze put his phone back in his pocket, stood up, and when he walked out from behind the desk, he saw the paper scraps in the trash can, and his heart twitched slightly, his vision blurred.

He stopped quickly and held the edge of the table with his hands.

After the darkness in front of him dissipated, he took his cup and walked out of the office slowly.

Lin Yao was tossing in the tea room with a coffee and tea room, squatting down and standing up again.

"Don't do fucking anymore." Guan Ze walked in and said.

"Do it later, move my numb butt and legs first," Lin Yao glanced outside the tea room door. Seeing that there was no one, he came over and bumped him. "I'll go grab the thermos for you tonight, and I have to warm up first."

"It's blue." Guan Ze smiled. Looking at Lin Yao's smile, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable, so he quickly turned around and got a bag of coffee.

"How do you spend the New Year's Day holiday? Our family has to be dispatched on the first day and we don't have to ask for leave. Let's go to play on the second day and sing," Lin Yao didn't notice his emotions. "I haven't treated you for a long time. I have to ask Lian Jun and the others to come out for a drink. Can you go together?"

"Okay." Guan Ze tore open the coffee bag.

"What are you doing?" Lin Yao suddenly touched him with his elbow, "Are you too tired today?"

"Hmm?" Guan Ze glanced at him, and then realized that he had poured all the coffee foam into the trash can and was putting the coffee bag into the cup.

"Drinking coffee bags is easy to get crazy," Lin Yao said, and took another bag of coffee to him, "Let's drink coffee with Daliu."

"Okay." Guan Ze nodded.

When Lin Yao got off work in the afternoon, he met Guan Ze in the elevator. After getting in the parking lot, he called Guan Ze. Guan Ze said he would work overtime and leave late. He heard that Guan Ze's tone was tired.

"If you are tired, you can delay for a few days. You are a director, right? You are not like us minions," Lin Yao started the car. "I'll grab some more delicious food for you tonight, and wait for my call, my wife."

"Yeah," Guan Ze replied, "Lin Yao..."

"ah?"

"I'll go to the hospital in a few days."

"Is this meant that I was afraid to accompany you?" Lin Yao was so happy.

"Just tell you."

"So good, check it out early."

Guan Ze was not in a very high mood. Although he was just a little tired in his tone, Lin Yao still felt that it was different from usual. Guan Ze was a workaholic, and even if he was tired of work, he would not be in this state.

Lin Yao thought while driving, and then came to the conclusion that he was probably afraid of going to the hospital.

In fact, although he had been urging Guan Ze to take a look, he was quite unsure. He was also afraid that Guan Ze would find something serious, but it would not be a problem to keep it like this.
