old memories
In the past, I remember this night, Wen Cai finally stayed overnight at this home that I had been away for a long time. But after all, there was one person missing, so I always felt that there were a lot less...
She got up the next morning. Just a few minutes later, Song Qiwan and Wen Xin also went downstairs. It seemed that they had not had a good sleep all night.
"Dad, mom, morning." Wen Cai said softly.
Wen Xin was exhausted, nodded and sat at the dining table without saying a word. Song Qiwan personally scooped porridge for her and put it in front of her. After much persuasion, Wen Xin finally picked up the spoon and started drinking slowly.
Wen Cai accompanied them to eat something together, but was thinking about another thing in his heart.
"Xiao Cai?" Song Qiwan suddenly called her, "Don't worry too much about Xi Yuan. Don't take what your mother told you yesterday to you. Although Xu Jinzhen has a blood relationship with you, his identity is awkward after all. You don't have to ask him for anything for this matter. I will solve this matter."
After hearing this, Wen Cai felt warm and silent for a long time. Finally, he nodded: "Dad, don't worry, I won't make things difficult for myself."
Song Qiwan nodded, as if he was relieved, and said to her again: "Eat more, the child in his belly has been more than five months old, but you are still so thin."
Wen Cai nodded and agreed, lowered his head to eat quietly.
After breakfast, Song Qiwan continued to go upstairs to call someone to clear the relationship. Wen Cai sat with Wen Xin for a while in the living room, looked at the time, and suddenly said to Wen Xin: "Mom, I want to go out. You have a good rest at home. When Nannan wakes up, you can take her to play."
Wen Xin heard this and did not ask her where she was going, but said, "Let Luola send you."
"No need, I have a friend to pick me up." Wen Cai said softly.
Wen Xin knew that Wen Cai was a person with a proper attitude and would never be willful at this moment, so she nodded with confidence: "Go, go early, go early and come back soon."
Wen Cai nodded, took his bag and walked out.
She had just walked out of the gate of the Song family mansion, and a very cool sports car came at the intersection of the street. After a few seconds, she stopped in front of her. The window was lowered, revealing An Helian's hippie smiley expression: "Ms. Wen, get in the car."
Wen Cai looked at the original route he had just been racing, paused, and said, "If you drive so hard, I won't dare to take a ride."
"Don't worry, with you in the car, of course I will serve you carefully!" Anhelian said, then got out of the car and opened the door on the other side for Wen Cai. Then Wen Cai sat on it.
The car restarted. Since Anhelian accidentally leaked the big secret to Wen Cai last time, he has always felt that he had made a big mistake and always wanted to find opportunities to make up for it. It is rare that Wen Cai took the initiative to call him today. Of course, he consciously continued to tease Wen Cai and speak smoothly.
Who knew that Wen Cai didn't buy it, and she looked a little dazed all the way. This was really abnormal. In addition, she just came out of the Song family, An Helian suddenly frowned: "What's wrong?"
Wen Cai finally glanced at him after hearing this: "Aren't you a gossip expert? I thought you knew everything."
Anhelian raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "If you want to know, you will know, but I have been busy with other things these two days, so I will inevitably not ignore some news."
Wen Cai smiled faintly when she heard this: "Ms. Ren has returned to China, right?"
Angelen looked at her and said, "You are quite gossipy too!"
"I just guessed." Wen Cai said lightly.
Seeing that her expression was really strange, Angelen couldn't help but slow down the car and said, "What happened?"
Wen Cai turned his head to look at him, and smiled weakly: "You really don't know... Something happened to him in Song Xiyuan."
When Anhelian heard this, he stepped on the brake suddenly: "What happened?"
"Drug trafficking, criminal detention." Wen Cai said lightly.
"Damn!" Anhelian shouted suddenly, "I won't be able to play so much, right? Wait, is it related to Qin Ning's previous dealing with him?"
Wen Cai nodded.
"Qin Ning is so capable..." An Helian suddenly chuckled, "It's really cruel to use this trick with Song Xiyuan to compete for customers and partners in secret! What are you going to do now?"
"I want to meet Mr. Xu." Wen Cai whispered.
An Helian was slightly stunned when he heard this: "Do you want to ask Mr. Xu for help?"
"It's very snobbish, right?" Wen Cai curled the corners of his mouth lightly. "He came to see me kindly before, but was driven away by me. Now I have something to ask him, but I rushed to show my goodwill. It's really... disgusting."
When Anhelian heard this, he sighed softly and said lightly: "It's just human nature. As far as I know, they are living in a hotel now, do you want me to take you to the hotel?"
"No." Wen Cai whispered, "Mr. Xu once told me that they had an old residence in City A, where I wanted to see him alone."
Angelen thought for a while and nodded lightly: "No problem, I'll send you there first."
"Thank you." Wen Cai responded and said, "Song Xiyuan's incident has not yet been reported, I hope you will never leak the news."
"Of course, I know how to do it. If the news has not been released, there is still a chance to reverse it. Don't worry too much." An Helian said, then started the car again and drove towards the Xu family's former residence.
When he arrived at the door of your old residence, he started to make a phone call. After two calls, he spoke to Xu Jintian: "Old Xu, I am Xiao An. That's right. Wen Cai is in front of your old residence now. She said that she really wants to go in and take a look."
Xu Jinzhen didn't know what he said on the other end of the phone, and An Helian said again, "If you have an appointment, just forget it. It's not that you can't let you accommodate her time..."
After a while, Anhelian suddenly nodded and said, "Okay, we'll wait for you."
He got off the car and walked to Wen Cai who was sitting on the steps: "Okay, he had made an appointment with someone, but now he decided to turn off the date to see you. It can be seen that your granddaughter is also worth a lot in his mind."
Wen Cai heard this and smiled faintly, "I know you are all for my own good, but I really can't pass my own hurdle..."
"Everyone has his own obsession, so I won't advise you." Angelen sighed and said, "I'll accompany you here to him and then leave."
"Thank you." Wen Cai said lightly.
Forty minutes later, a black business car drove over quietly and stopped in front of this historic small western-style building. After a while, the driver got out of the car and opened the door. Xu Jinzhen walked out of the back seat of the car.
Wen Cai was still sitting there without moving, but Anhelian suddenly stood up and greeted him: "Old Xu."
Xu Jinzhen nodded and smiled faintly: "Xiao An, thank you for your hard work."
"No, no, no, no," Anhelian smiled and said immediately, "Then you can take Wen Cai to visit the former residence. I have to go to work, so let's leave first."
"Go." Xu Jintian nodded.
Angelen turned around and shook his eyes at Wen Cai, then got back to his car and started it and left here.
Xu Jinzhen slowly walked towards this side, and Wen Cai stood up and retreated slightly. He didn't know what to shout, but after a long pause, he finally didn't make any sound.
Xu Jinzhen didn't care, so he stepped forward and took out the key. Perhaps because of his age, his hands were shaking a little. The keyhole that he had been looking for for a long time was not inserted.
Seeing this, Wen Cai finally said, "I'll drive."
Xu Jinzhen smiled faintly: "I'm old and my eyes are not good enough, but my hands are not good enough."
Wen Cai took the key and heard what he said, his eyes couldn't help but feel warm.
She quickly opened the door, and Xu Jinzhen took her into it. When she saw it, she saw an exquisite and gorgeous hall, like the noble and beautiful family I saw on TV. Even if the years were covered with dust, it would not hide the beauty of the past.
Wen Cai was stunned from the moment she walked in. Looking at every decoration and decoration in the hall, the scene of her mother living here as a girl-
She seemed to be able to see a pretty and beautiful girl jumping down from the upstairs, perhaps wearing a beautiful little dress or an exquisite cheongsam. She watched her walk down, threw herself into the sofa, and drank tea with the complex and gorgeous tea set on the table...
My mother lived this life...
She stood there and was out of her mind. Xu Jinzhen walked in a few steps before she realized that she had not followed. When she looked back, she found that she was still standing at the door, looking sad. Xu Jinzhen walked back, protected her into the room, and closed the door.
"When your mother was still with us, we all spent it in this house." Xu Jinzhen seemed to be very moved, and looked at the house that had been away for many years and sighed slightly.
Wen Cai followed him step by step to the spiral staircase and walked up the second floor. When he arrived at a locked room, Xu Jinzhen took out the key again and handed it directly to Wen Cai: "It's the latest key."
Wen Cai quickly found the key and opened the door.
It is a very spacious house with European style decoration. Today, it looks like a kind of retro beauty. But all the furniture in the house is covered with cloth.
"This is your mother's room." Xu Jinzhen whispered, "but since she left the house, the room was locked and sealed, and no one has ever come in."
Mom's room once...
Wen Cai's memory could not stop flying back to his childhood when he was dependent on his mother. In that dilapidated 20 square meters of cottage, looking at the exquisite and gorgeous big room in front of him, Wen Cai could not imagine how his mother survived it.
Xu Jinzhen walked forward, untied the white cloth covered with dust on the bed, then took a photo album at the head of the bed, gently stroked the cover, and then walked back to Wen Cai and handed it to her.
Wen Cai smiled at the first glance when she opened the album - in the photo, a beautiful girl about 11 or 2 years old, with a very beautiful braid, and a big birthday cake in front of her, but her face was full of anger because her face was already colorful with butter.
Wen Cai laughed softly, stroked the little girl's face in the photo, and smiled, but couldn't help crying again...
This is...Mom.
"Your mother was very stubborn when she was a child. This was her twelve birthday. She was teased by her elder brother before blowing a candle and wiped it into a flowery face. She never laughed again that day, and then ignored her elder brother for a whole week." Xu Jinzhen said, as if she could still remember the situation at that time, and there was still remaining warmth in her heart, but when she came to her senses, she suddenly recalled the cruelty of reality, and her face soon became darker.
Wen Cai didn't pay attention, and sat down next to the bed with the album, turning it over page by page.
The album is full of mothers, who are the most familiar but extremely unfamiliar with mothers.
In her memory, her mother has always been a great beauty, but she has never been as glamorous as in these photos. Because of her hard life, she has stripped away all her glamorous coat.
There are many interesting photos in the album. Whenever you see these photos, Xu Jinshi can always tell you what interesting things happened when taking pictures, and at the same time, he will think of many warm past events from many years ago.
Wen Cai was fascinated by the sound of hearing it, as if she had been separated from her mother for many years, but she returned to her mother from a completely new perspective.
It took the two of them an hour to finish a photo album. When they closed the photo album, Wen Cai sighed with unsatisfactory sigh.
"This photo album belongs to your mother alone." Xu Jinzhen suddenly said, "There are photo albums for the whole family downstairs. If you want to see it, you can go downstairs to read it."
Wen Cai quietly stroked the fief of the album, and after a long time, he spoke: "Can I take this album away?"
When Xu Jinzi heard this, he suddenly smiled faintly: "Of course, it's fine. Just... copy another copy for me."
Wen Cai felt a soreness in his heart when he heard it. After a long time, he suppressed the soreness in his heart and turned to look at him: "My mother's childhood fun stories are from more than 30 years ago, and you still remember it so clearly."
When Xu Jinti heard this, he felt aroused in his heart: "Yes, I really didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, it had been more than thirty years. If I had known that that farewell would have caused me to lose this daughter forever, I would have said that I would not let her go no matter what."
"Why... why did mom leave?" Wen Cai whispered.
"Because of your father." Xu Jinzhen sighed softly, stood up and walked to the window, and said, "The Wen family and our Xu family have always been incompatible. Whether in politics or in life, they always seem to be in conflict. But your mother has had a relationship with the son of the Wen family and threatened us that if they don't agree to be together, they will elope. At that time, I thought, what if a beautiful girl like your mother really elopes with that kid? After she suffered a few times of life, she always knew to come back..."
Wen Cai slowly stood up and walked behind him: "What about?"
"Later, she really eloped with your father." Xu Jinzhen smiled helplessly, "I have been waiting for her to come back after hitting a wall. Who knows... It turns out that she and your grandmother have broken away from the mother-daughter relationship because of this. Your grandmother is also stubborn. Your mother probably inherited her. The mother and daughter have always been in a bad mood. Since the relationship was cut off, your grandmother has been urging me to go abroad. Later, we still didn't wait for your mother to come back..."
No wonder, no wonder that grandma... she didn't like her from the first sight... Wen Cai took a deep breath and said, "Then have you ever looked for your mother?"
"Of course I've looked for it." Xu Jinzhen said, "But in that era, the information was far less developed than it is now. She and your father didn't know where they went, so there was no way to find it."
Wen Cai knew that his father also said that after he and his mother separated due to a quarrel, he wanted to find his mother again. He was already looking for a needle in a haystack and could never find her again...
"Later, we moved our family and went abroad. The person I entrusted to find out the whereabouts of your mother in China. Within two years, news came that your mother died due to an accident..."
"Impossible!" Wen Cai was excited, "Mom died when I was sixteen years old, and she died in the United States!"
