Bringing Along a Ball and Hiding from Foreign Devils
Chapter 11
Fan Wenfeng knew that Ren Zhouyuan had once joined the archeological team, but this was the first time he heard about it, so he couldn't help but feel a little stunned.
He knew that Ren Zhouyuan had a hard time in the past, especially when he first met him, but he didn't expect that it was just the tip of the iceberg. Now, looking at the man sitting opposite him talking about the past so casually, Fan Wenfeng suddenly felt suffocated. He wanted to stand up for the former Ren Zhouyuan and teach those old men a lesson.
He asked, "Then did you quit the archeological team just like that?
Did you just let them bully you and your father like that? "
Ren Zhouyuan helped Anan wipe the corners of his mouth and shrugged, "What else could I do?
At that time, I was just a young boy who had just entered society. I didn't have any ability. I was worried that they wouldn't pay me if I left halfway. But maybe they also felt that they were in the wrong, so they didn't say anything when I left. "
Thinking of the past, Ren Zhouyuan smiled and shook his head. Fortunately, he had jumped out of that place and met Fan Wenfeng later. His life had also improved, and he was finally able to rely on his own ability to fight for everything he had now.
Anan's unexpected speech this time made Ren Zhouyuan pay attention to this issue again.
He thought that Anan had already forgotten those things since it had happened so long ago, but he didn't expect that once the damage was done, the impact was far from being easily erased.
Fan Wenfeng poured a cup of tea for him and said, "Don't mention those unhappy things in the past. Just live your life well now."
He thought for a moment and said, "But you have to think about Anan's matter carefully. He can't be like that for the rest of his life."
Ren Zhouyuan lowered his head and glanced at Anan. Seeing him obediently pick up his chopsticks and eat by himself, he felt a headache coming on.
It never occurred to him that his son was Chinese or a foreigner, but he had to admit that the Anan was too assimilated by him.
He had a face that was almost 99% foreign, but he spoke fluent Mandarin. Occasionally, he would speak in Chinese, which made Ren Zhouyuan stunned. He had never held a knife or fork since he was a child, but he held chopsticks steadily.
He thought that when the Anan grew up, she would naturally know how to distinguish between these words, but it seemed that he had to guide her in advance.
The two of them chatted for a while and brought the matter to the back of their minds. Fan Wenfeng then asked Ren Zhouyuan a few questions about his recent work. He said, "The last time I brought Anan to your company, I felt that your company was really quite good." He paused for a moment and said, "Can you stay longer this time?"
Ren Zhouyuan's hand that was holding the glass of water paused. After taking a sip, he put it down and said, "We'll talk about it later."
He had been feeling uneasy. He always felt that the peace in front of him made him feel inexplicably irritable, especially when he accidentally bumped into Leonid in the company.
However, it had been a long time since he joined the company, and the frequency of Leonid's absence from the company was the same as what he had heard before. Every two or three days, he would hear that the boss was on a business trip again. After Anan went to Wei Qi for the first time, he was not worried about being discovered, which made him feel a lot more relieved.
Although Anan and Leonid looked very similar, Ren Zhouyuan occasionally wondered if he was the only one who thought that way. If in fact, they were not as similar as he thought …
He looked at Anan, who was eating seriously, and the small drone placed next to him. He silently thought that if he brought Anan to Wei Qi when Leonid was not in the company, there might not be a big problem.
Once this idea was planted, it quickly spread in Ren Zhouyuan's mind. When he looked at Anan's small face, he felt more and more like Leonid. When he stood next to Anan and looked at the two people in the mirror in the morning, he even felt that Anan looked more and more like himself.
After that day, Ren Zhouyuan asked Anan a few more times. Although the child always pretended that he did not care, Ren Zhouyuan found that he would occasionally fiddle with the crooked small plane that he made with a 3D printer for the first time in Wei Qi. On the other hand, he did not touch the exquisite drone after class.
Another week later, Ren Zhouyuan heard that Leonid was on a business trip again, so he quickly called Fan Wenfeng and asked Fan Wenfeng to bring Anan to Wei Qi after work. There was a class in Wei Qi that could be attended by paying directly, which was very convenient.
Fan Wenfeng thought that Ren Zhouyuan had thought it through, so he was naturally willing to take Anan to class.
When Anan heard that Fan Wenfeng was going to take him to find his father, he happily followed, but when he saw the building of Wei Qi, he suddenly remembered that the place where he first attended class was Ren Zhouyuan's workplace. He immediately became discouraged, and no matter how Fan Wenfeng persuaded him, he refused to step out of the car.
Fan Wenfeng had a headache. He had experienced Anan's stubbornness. Anyone with a discerning eye could see how much he liked to attend classes in Wei Qi, but because Ren Zhouyuan showed that he did not want him to come here, now that he was at the door, he could not go.
Fan Wenfeng had no choice but to call Ren Zhouyuan. Ren Zhouyuan did not know whether to laugh or cry after listening to him. He said a few words to Anan on the phone, but this time, Anan was so stubborn. He frowned and shouted into the phone, "Dad, you are lying!"
Ren Zhouyuan had no choice, and he did not want to waste Fan Wenfeng's kindness. Anyway, Leonid was not there, so he told Kong Fei that he had something to do and quickly went downstairs to find them.
When Ren Zhouyuan arrived downstairs, he saw Fan Wenfeng standing next to the car and persuading Anan. Anan held his schoolbag and looked to the side with a puffed up face, but he did not look at Fan Wenfeng. Fan Wenfeng could not do anything.
Ren Zhouyuan was so angry that he almost laughed. He walked over and patted Fan Wenfeng, motioning for him to come over.
"Anan," Ren Zhouyuan pretended to be angry and said, "Is this polite to Uncle Wen Feng?
Is this what Dad usually teaches you? "
As soon as Anan heard Ren Zhouyuan's voice, he turned his head with a face full of surprise. Before he could feel happy, he heard Ren Zhouyuan scolding him, and his smiling face suddenly collapsed.
He pursed his lips and looked at Ren Zhouyuan with grievance, then lowered his head and grabbed the straps of his schoolbag with both hands, looking very wronged.
Ren Zhouyuan did not intend to be angry with him, so he carried him out of the car. As soon as Anan was in his arms, he buried his head in Ren Zhouyuan's neck, hugged Ren Zhouyuan with two small hands, and whispered, "Dad didn't want Anan to come here."
Ren Zhouyuan's heart instantly softened. He touched his head and said, "It's not that Dad didn't want Anan to come here." He made a little lie and said, "It's just that Dad compared the two places and felt that Anan's class was better. The teachers also spoke Chinese, so Dad wanted Anan to understand what the teachers were saying."
As soon as Anan heard this, he became excited. He kicked his legs and suddenly raised his head. His eyes were shining, and there was a drop of tear in the corner of his eye, but his whole little face was full of indescribable excitement.
He pointed to the Wei Qi building behind Ren Zhouyuan and said, "The teachers here can speak Chinese. They're very good!"
"Oh?" Ren Zhouyuan deliberately teased him. "Which kid said that he hated foreigners the most?" He deliberately emphasized his tone and raised his eyebrows playfully at Anan.
Anan's face turned red. Ren Zhouyuan exposed his lie in public. He mumbled a few words and blinked at Ren Zhouyuan. When he realized that Ren Zhouyuan was just teasing him, he laughed and said that Dad was a bad guy. Then he continued to say a lot of good things about Wei Qi.
Ren Zhouyuan listened to him carefully. This was the first time Anan talked so much since he went to Wei Qi last time. It was rare to see him so lively twice, and it was all thanks to Wei Qi. Ren Zhouyuan did not know how charming the building behind him was, but if it could make Anan more cheerful, he was willing to take the risk of being discovered.
If only he was a little more careful … He glanced at Fan Wenfeng and secretly made a decision in his heart.
Watching Fan Wenfeng walk into Wei Qi's building with Anan in her arms, Ren Zhouyuan sighed, wiped his face, and returned to his office.
Thinking that Anan was in class downstairs, Ren Zhouyuan was a little absent-minded. He couldn't even focus on the manuscript. He opened the document on the computer, and after a long time, he realized that he was still staring at the two sentences in front of the document, but he couldn't remember what was written in it.
His hand holding the mouse was full of sweat. He was too nervous now. He was always worried that Anan would be discovered, but God seemed to hear his pleas. After Anan's class, Fan Wenfeng sent him home. Nothing happened during the whole process, which made Ren Zhouyuan breathe a sigh of relief.
He began to convince himself that maybe Anan and Leonid were really not as similar as he thought. After all, in the eyes of Chinese people, foreigners were all the same. He was the only one who thought that the two looked alike.
He asked Fan Wenfeng to sign up for Wei Qi's interest class. He didn't go to the previous one, and the fee couldn't be refunded, which made Ren Zhouyuan's heart ache again. So he had the idea of writing manuscripts to make extra money.
Coincidentally, the person who studied foreign culture contacted Fan Wenfeng again, and the other party also paid a high fee. Ren Zhouyuan calculated and planned to secretly draft an outline and make some preparations.
His life was comfortable like this. He kept a safe distance from Leonid, watched Anan become more cheerful day by day, and everything seemed to be going in a better direction.
But not long after, he heard a piece of news that shattered his beautiful thought, and the so-called comfort was messed up.
He heard that Leonid's fiancée came to Wei Qi.
