男人冷漠的身影從車裡下來,純白的襯衫和黑色的褲子此刻顯得格外冷硬。252Please respect copyright.PENANAD0bmM8FMBW
252Please respect copyright.PENANA3HtI7GrdXs
「乖兒子!」婦人上前迎接,一臉高興,「我可終於盼到你回來了。」252Please respect copyright.PENANAE294QSZewR
252Please respect copyright.PENANAjcIle6xsIr
他冷著一張臉,微微頷首示意。252Please respect copyright.PENANAHhIiZrZB0A
252Please respect copyright.PENANACTZQXKuraG
婦人朝後頭站在車旁另一個略胖的男人親切地說,「蔡先生也一起進來吧!這大除夕的,就不要自己一個吃飯了。」252Please respect copyright.PENANACTdqmFEXmS
252Please respect copyright.PENANAfiGIFi3E5L
「不用不用!李夫人您太客氣了。」男人乾笑著擺手,「我待會兒就開車回老家,後天再回來接阿凡。」252Please respect copyright.PENANABbybWFMIDS
252Please respect copyright.PENANA7dtC2ldxIU
「這樣。」婦人一臉可惜,但沒挽留,「那好,預祝你新年快樂啊!路上小心!」252Please respect copyright.PENANAYsex1imI08
252Please respect copyright.PENANA4eEdOnE1Av
「謝謝李夫人!你們也是!」男人趕忙告別,「阿凡我先走了,後天再見!」252Please respect copyright.PENANAFJIjLRbk61
252Please respect copyright.PENANAz3bKnFSRHh
然後閃身躲進車裡。252Please respect copyright.PENANACMeEzdvS8l
252Please respect copyright.PENANA66O8z4R0QO
冷淡的男人無甚表情,轉身走進屋裡,婦人也趕快跟上。252Please respect copyright.PENANAQmw2EUqbJF
252Please respect copyright.PENANAcvcX6wM58o
兩人經過客廳,往飯廳走時,婦人小心翼翼地問,「那個⋯⋯小林沒跟你一起回來嗎?」252Please respect copyright.PENANA3UMMakXvHf
252Please respect copyright.PENANAXVmVnXLqW4
「回自己家了。」252Please respect copyright.PENANA3TUw9E3zIe
252Please respect copyright.PENANAoKDFyKM821
「啊⋯⋯這樣。」婦人放鬆了點神情,「待會兒你爸有件事跟你商量⋯⋯不是甚麼大事,就是⋯⋯反正你先聽聽,別太緊張,也別跟你爸慪氣。」252Please respect copyright.PENANAGSKKlVn41L
252Please respect copyright.PENANAtTbXanPcYD
他沒有答話。252Please respect copyright.PENANAgGyTRWBMpm
252Please respect copyright.PENANAxExVVrohOb
飯廳裡另一個中年男人已經就坐,神情嚴肅。252Please respect copyright.PENANAGgSAEracQ2
252Please respect copyright.PENANAcut1MSUZAV
男人淡漠地頷首打招呼。252Please respect copyright.PENANAE66POdWcSc
252Please respect copyright.PENANAOfb21hgEqM
「嗯。」中年男人沉著臉應了一聲,「坐吧。」252Please respect copyright.PENANAxRI76UgE0j
252Please respect copyright.PENANAtdUQfIBFNe
傭人把菜都上齊後退了出去,三人默然開動,餐桌上只剩零星碗筷碰撞的聲音。252Please respect copyright.PENANAbsnyjoyolR
252Please respect copyright.PENANAEz24V8bbQ8
吃了一半,中年男人放下了筷子,向著年輕男人說,「給你跟林家的外孫女安排了見面,記得把時間空下。」252Please respect copyright.PENANAw6tVb3twe1
252Please respect copyright.PENANA261yNTsIzD
年輕男人看了自家母親一眼,想到她剛才的囑咐,壓下想說的話,隨意嗯了一聲。252Please respect copyright.PENANAuP3M3ZpZCd
252Please respect copyright.PENANAUZyv18kkCh
「打算甚麼時候回去西班牙?」252Please respect copyright.PENANAteRZdB3x3r
252Please respect copyright.PENANAP7V3QErmfq
年輕男人邊吃邊冷淡地說,「沒有計畫。」252Please respect copyright.PENANAqjCtKPjowV
252Please respect copyright.PENANAcKQQNU4zyi
中年男人眉頭深鎖,「甚麼?」252Please respect copyright.PENANAVmai0J1cJS
252Please respect copyright.PENANAvBBnhkXkgQ
「我會繼續留在國內踢足球。」252Please respect copyright.PENANAmDAUb6nzbQ
252Please respect copyright.PENANAd1ETgeg9W5
「你是說這個賽季之後,你還要繼續留在新鳴?」252Please respect copyright.PENANAfsI2DLRRd0
252Please respect copyright.PENANAVYZNulCCZo
「對。」252Please respect copyright.PENANAQDy33UyenI
252Please respect copyright.PENANATL8mXOAfYy
「所以,」中年男人的語氣都變了,「你要繼續踢乙級?」252Please respect copyright.PENANAbKkGQzJJV8
252Please respect copyright.PENANALzNME0GWLz
「贏了冠軍,就會去A隊踢甲級。」252Please respect copyright.PENANATTNlffVfVF
252Please respect copyright.PENANAiZFFHV4pXB
「現在問題是這個嗎?」中年男人厲聲說道,「這裡的A隊跟西班牙的A隊能一樣嗎!你是不是燒壞了腦子!」252Please respect copyright.PENANAcyZ7dV3Agm
252Please respect copyright.PENANA6nIudGjHK4
「老公別激動⋯⋯我們說好跟孩子心平氣和地說的⋯⋯」婦人焦心地在旁邊勸說。252Please respect copyright.PENANAksgzHixXs5
252Please respect copyright.PENANAILRX4VrvZB
中年男人不管妻子的勸說,大怒拍桌,「李與凡你給我清醒一點!我花這麼多心力栽培你踢足球,就是為了讓你在這種三流球隊踢這種不入流的比賽嗎?!」252Please respect copyright.PENANAmWtpgLS31J
252Please respect copyright.PENANAPqI4s6YXm0
李與凡依舊冷漠,緩緩放下了筷子,抬頭看向自己的父親,「我很清楚自己在做甚麼。」252Please respect copyright.PENANAxX5UbJFmzk
252Please respect copyright.PENANAwDFlkE86Uj
李父怒然看著他,胸口起伏。252Please respect copyright.PENANAGDKMiEo2fT
252Please respect copyright.PENANAHuwYU6p6Hw
李與凡目光深深,面容不變。252Please respect copyright.PENANAeGguspHa8E
252Please respect copyright.PENANA6F0Djny9vk
「我會證明,我今天得到的一切,都不是靠誰給的。」252Please respect copyright.PENANAL6uBOpsW3h
252Please respect copyright.PENANAJVuwx76NJZ
252Please respect copyright.PENANAGgOtxuN3fq
252Please respect copyright.PENANAHPaSVlvN2E

252Please respect copyright.PENANABbL7K3m3pD
252Please respect copyright.PENANAhleFA10U8a
252Please respect copyright.PENANAKrVbWLeBMb
另一邊廂,林家四合院老宅外。252Please respect copyright.PENANAUIymsxCBZh
252Please respect copyright.PENANAnCRuvkuvaD
從南翠球場開車趕回來的林經陽,在大宅門口跟自己的父母會合。252Please respect copyright.PENANAKk3m3YWPFr
252Please respect copyright.PENANANUgMKtwvnA
他母親趕忙抓著他的手臂,「怎麼樣?有沒有請周總一起來過年?」252Please respect copyright.PENANAV4pv2jWBha
252Please respect copyright.PENANAxKNZOx7B0Y
林經陽無奈,怎麼自家母親第一件事是關心周諾寧,「沒有。」252Please respect copyright.PENANATwqA8hsKSY
252Please respect copyright.PENANAlDZNs3i37r
「這樣⋯⋯」林母擔憂地說,「你表妹出了那樣的醜事,聽說本家是不想我們回來的⋯⋯本來想說如果能把周總請來⋯⋯唉,也不知道他們是怎麼個態度⋯⋯」252Please respect copyright.PENANAJP7e5luNgk
252Please respect copyright.PENANAVu5Xl3nz2C
「沒事。」林經陽安撫,「反正總歸得有人代表回來露個臉,我們低調一點就好,老人家們應該不會說甚麼的。」252Please respect copyright.PENANA7VG9ID3DWl
252Please respect copyright.PENANAtY1xvoUN4l
林父點點頭,「今年說是統一去正院問安,待會兒你自己進去打個招呼吧,我跟你媽在偏院待著。」252Please respect copyright.PENANABN2dxCg9UD
252Please respect copyright.PENANA2LsT1txED3
「嗯,我知道了。」252Please respect copyright.PENANATQCKLXPBN1
252Please respect copyright.PENANAEKzKJ6vVXx
穿過四合院的廣亮大門,迎接的傭人一個帶著林氏夫婦前去偏院,另一個則帶著林經陽到了正院,停在中堂的門邊請他進去。252Please respect copyright.PENANAtRaUXLhPia
252Please respect copyright.PENANAy1nnnx7AfU
林經陽頓下腳步,看了裡面熟悉又遙遠的建築一圈,才緩慢地跨過門檻,進入屬於主人之家的中堂。252Please respect copyright.PENANAGxjm3y2LpB
252Please respect copyright.PENANAOx4o13ICb3
他走到中央的八仙桌,依次給坐在兩旁的長輩一一問好,幾位老人家都很有默契地沒有多提他表妹的事。252Please respect copyright.PENANAHRc55unXBa
252Please respect copyright.PENANA6lNjzLKWWm
例行公事辦妥後,他便打算回去偏院找他父母,回頭就看到剛跨進門檻的熟悉身影。252Please respect copyright.PENANAT6ptMNsErh
252Please respect copyright.PENANA4hMpYWkJsG
林經陽上前朝男人笑著打招呼,「好久不見。」252Please respect copyright.PENANAgnDek7b8TQ
252Please respect copyright.PENANAEYVlHUl6O6
「嗯。」男人慵懶地插著口袋,「你父母呢?」252Please respect copyright.PENANAhGDn12o4qo
252Please respect copyright.PENANAUhsfZT8GpQ
「在偏院,我也正打算過去找他們。」252Please respect copyright.PENANA0aoV3MrIIz
252Please respect copyright.PENANADPliS6oBin
「請他們也過來吧,今年整個家族都在正院吃飯。」252Please respect copyright.PENANATCjhREG7r7
252Please respect copyright.PENANANfSHEMRt8C
林經陽略為驚訝,「我以為⋯⋯只是讓我們進來打個招呼。」252Please respect copyright.PENANAFBCHMNyPdX
252Please respect copyright.PENANAhbiE6geeTI
男人扯著唇,「那些不合時宜的規條,也該是時候廢掉了。」252Please respect copyright.PENANAgkZFqRfZIo
252Please respect copyright.PENANANahA6QmtFO
林家的正統血緣是百年貴冑,歷史僅次於皇族之後的上官家,所以很多傳統守舊的規條一直流傳至今,例如林經陽這些旁支出身的族人,以前是絕對沒法踏進中堂半步的。252Please respect copyright.PENANAyhEdB5FCQ1
252Please respect copyright.PENANACkEBW3VZ42
不過去年林家新任掌陀人上場後,好些舊規矩就被逐一廢除。252Please respect copyright.PENANAs0LvXedEDC
252Please respect copyright.PENANARRPZ9Qa1LO
林經陽笑了笑,看向不遠處正在和小孩子打鬧的年輕女孩,「看來你家裡那位對你影響蠻大的。」252Please respect copyright.PENANAXYx6dZ9nRz
252Please respect copyright.PENANANIZtLteYtE
男人勾了勾唇,不置可否,唯獨落了女孩身影的眼神裡,多了一層冷硬中的柔和。252Please respect copyright.PENANAefLsgFnQa9
252Please respect copyright.PENANAkZfXBem8bu
林經陽看了看四周,「你妹妹呢?還在國外嗎?」252Please respect copyright.PENANAccvS1ZBsMm
252Please respect copyright.PENANAbCSzIfcVDM
「嗯。大概是在西班牙太快活吧,說是作業趕不上不能回來,等到年末的時候再看看。」男人神情鬆弛,「反正她被關在這裡太久,也需要多點自由,就任由我爸媽嘮叨去了。」252Please respect copyright.PENANAjjBhhCHSD4
252Please respect copyright.PENANALWczjATuSb
林經陽失笑,很明白他說的意思,「看這樣子,再過幾年,你父母該給她安排婚事了。」252Please respect copyright.PENANAjXSf4h85n0
252Please respect copyright.PENANAoKQAJnrvYG
「就是啊⋯⋯」男人若有所思,想到那條他還沒能改變的規條,「父母之命,媒妁之言⋯⋯看似天經地義,但誰又真的那麼幸運,能被安排遇上那個最適合的人選。」252Please respect copyright.PENANA1utsbvzM4z
252Please respect copyright.PENANADvl11OuAdv
林經陽笑著抬頭看天,頭一次有些慶幸自己是出身自旁支,「看來出身正統,也未必永遠都是好事。」252Please respect copyright.PENANApOpxHrHy63
252Please respect copyright.PENANAZkFZIPSac3
他家的公司是服裝界的龍頭企業,以前同學總把他當成小太子爺,百般討好奉承,令他總有種優越感,自認出身不錯,足以讓人稱羨。252Please respect copyright.PENANA8MSj6dgqEV
252Please respect copyright.PENANA8jdw4w8kTH
可是當他母親總抓著他切切教誨,叮囑他一定要努力學習,拼命發奮圖強,絕不能讓林家那群人瞧不起他時,他慢慢搞不懂他爸媽到底還有甚麼不滿足。252Please respect copyright.PENANAtdKqlvdHkA
252Please respect copyright.PENANAgQDYevmltR
當他漸漸長大,學會觀言察色,才赫然發現在他名字裡的「林」,跟別家小孩的那個「林」,原來還可以如此差天共地。252Please respect copyright.PENANAm4xVE7JIJV
252Please respect copyright.PENANArmKXfq87Ol
百年家族林氏,身為四大貴族之一,有座寬大的四合院大宅,代表著林氏悠久且堅毅不屈的歷史,是整個家族的根基和象徵。252Please respect copyright.PENANAX1VtcptSB2
252Please respect copyright.PENANAH0pHUh8rOc
能在裡面生活、奔跑、長大,是一種身分的肯定,而繼承它的人就有如擁有天下。252Please respect copyright.PENANAZRikevjOMO
252Please respect copyright.PENANAe4AZyXEyxg
可裡面天地再大,卻永遠都不會有屬於他和他家人的位置,他們只是這遼闊庭院裡,可有可無的青草綠葉。252Please respect copyright.PENANAyBZG4Lr748
252Please respect copyright.PENANA9xvEMnUk6l
他們必須要存在,卻又要像不存在那樣謹言慎行。252Please respect copyright.PENANAJMPCHVhE3D
252Please respect copyright.PENANAihT2T35tao
從那時林經陽才明白,原來他們沒有的東西,還有這麼多。252Please respect copyright.PENANAvGWmGhDM8V
252Please respect copyright.PENANAn61kDsA6NM
真正令人稱羨,擁有一切光環的,是站在祭壇最前一列,牽著太老爺的手,在眾人的目光之中上前拜祭的一人。252Please respect copyright.PENANAUzzoT2RnCP
252Please respect copyright.PENANAAYDPFPMTWs
而那人,就是面前這個與他年紀相仿,卻已經是林氏現任當家的天之驕子,林景軒。252Please respect copyright.PENANAkcGrkljy00
252Please respect copyright.PENANAbEJc55THLh
「是嗎?」林景軒挑眉回視過去,「那你擁有身為旁支的自由,讓你選擇到了你想要的人了嗎?」252Please respect copyright.PENANAEdbrsTpIjL
252Please respect copyright.PENANA2A6qC7lB1h
林經陽遙望遠方,神情意味深長,「選⋯⋯當然能選了。」而後又笑著自嘲,「只是⋯⋯那個選擇並沒有選擇我而已。」252Please respect copyright.PENANAIzvPlDtXfG
252Please respect copyright.PENANAWizM48f6Nl
林景軒勾唇,「看來周家大小姐眼高於天的傳聞,倒也不假。」252Please respect copyright.PENANAAxIYcYaHdk
252Please respect copyright.PENANAD9KPHPNpUb
「眼高於天嗎⋯⋯」林經陽輕笑了聲,曾經也以為是自己配不上她,「或許只是她心裡面,本身就沒有所謂的標準。」252Please respect copyright.PENANA2BsTWLNOM4
252Please respect copyright.PENANAHszGb9nUAx
林經陽很確定,即使過去一年荊棘滿途,歷經許多不必要的跌宕起伏,此刻的周諾寧,正在度過她人生中最快樂的春節。252Please respect copyright.PENANADRrDPc6hDi
