"You are." Yuan Xueqin vaguely felt that the handsome young man in front of her looked familiar. However, for a moment, she couldn't remember who the man in front of her was.
"Hello, aunt. I am Tang Dongcen." The woman in front of him is similar to the woman in the photo that his grandfather gave him. Coupled with the past few days of open and secret visits, Tang Dongcen is already sure that this person is his long-lost aunt. Xue Qin.
When she heard her aunt's call, Yuan Xueqin's body froze. It took her a while before she lowered her head and said in a faint voice, "Sir, you have recognized the wrong person."
After saying that, Yuan Xueqin was about to close the door. However, her strength was not enough. Tang Dongcen held down the door panel and then came in uninvited. "Auntie, please don't be too busy denying me. If you are Yuan Qian's mother, then you She must be my aunt."
Looking at the man who entered the house so grandly, Yuan Xueqin was not feeling well. Tang Dongcen knew that she was not in good health. At this moment, he diligently stepped forward to help her. "Auntie, go to the living room first. Grandpa asked me I'm here to find you and Yuan Qian. I have something to tell you."[
Hearing the word 'grandpa', Yuan Xueqin's eyebrows twisted even more. She knew she couldn't fight the young man in front of her. She finally compromised first. "Mr. Tang, let's talk about it in the living room. But I can do it myself." Let’s go. I don’t need your help.”
Being so rejected by Yuan Xueqin, Tang Dongcen's expression remained normal. He followed Yuan Xueqin to the living room. Then the guests and hosts sat down and each of them was silent for a short time.
"Auntie, my name is Tang Dongcen. I don't know if you still have an impression of me. My grandfather is Yuan Jinhan. My mother is Yuan Ling, your sister."
Yuan Xueqin wanted to say that she didn't know Tang Dongcen, Yuan Jinhan, or Yuan Ling. However, did she really not know him? There was confusion in her eyes. Yuan Xueqin slowly fell into distant memories.
The cold and heartless faces of her father and sister twenty years ago flashed through her mind. Who said at that time, "I, Yuan Jinhan, don't have an unfilial daughter like you. If you walk out of the Yuan family, from now on." Even if you die outside, don't come back to beg me." Who said, "There's no point in falling in love when we don't belong to the same family. Sister, don't be naive. That man is just trying to gain the wealth of our original family. Poor and humble couples are in trouble. No. With the identity of the daughter of the original family, how long do you think that man’s love can last?”…
She was an enemy of the entire family for the so-called love. How decisive she was at that time. How she thought that as long as she and that man worked together, they would naturally be able to make their way in the world. But the reality gave her a cruel and fatal blow. Shocked. How embarrassed and hesitant she was at that moment. Thinking back on it today still makes me feel heavy.
For many years, she had been running around with her daughter. The pain and tiredness were buried deep in her heart. Even in the dead of night, Yuan Xueqin did not dare to let her nerves slack off. At that time, she had also thought... if it happened again... If there is a chance, will she break up with her relatives for an unfavorable relationship? Think about it, but it turns out that the world is unpredictable, and people's hearts will go through vicissitudes. No matter what it was at the time, after all, she has never faced her in all these years. The Yuan family bowed their heads. Now that her father and sister had made things clear, how could she have the face to ask them to take them in? Now that she saw people related to the Yuan family again, she only sighed and smiled lightly.
"Auntie, my grandpa's health is very poor. He only has two children, you and my mother. Now that he is old, he hopes that you and Yuan Qian can go back. I hope that auntie can consider my statement carefully. After all, family love is hard to come by in this world. Break." Seeing that Yuan Xueqin seemed to be coming out of her memories, Tang Dongcen revealed the reason for his visit tonight.
There was certainly a reason why Tang Dongcen pulled out Yuan Qian's hair last time. After he unexpectedly met Yuan Qian on his last trip to Hannan, the more he thought about it when he went back, the more he felt something was wrong. Yuan Qian was very similar to the young Yuan Xueqin. She looked very similar. There were photos of her aunt in her grandfather's house. Seeing that her grandfather had missed his little daughter for many years, Tang Dongcen thought about it for a few times and reported to his grandfather about his encounter with Yuan Qian. After that, his grandfather asked him to investigate Yuan Qian. Qian. After this investigation, he followed the clues and found out Yuan Xueqin.
In the capital, he signed a contract with Xia Group. In fact, he had greeted Xia Yiyang beforehand, hoping that he could bring Yuan Qian over smoothly. But the other party learned of his intention and considered the situation of Yuan Qian's mother and daughter. After all, he agreed. The hard work paid off. The comparison results confirmed that Yuan Qian and his grandfather were indeed related by blood. He had already made preparations before coming to the capital this time. No matter what, he must convince his aunt. Go back. Grandpa has had a lot of time. Now he has to fulfill the old man's wishes as much as possible.
Yuan Xueqin didn't say anything. She just thought about her own thoughts quietly. Tang Dongcen originally wanted to tell her that her grandfather had coughed up blood recently, but before she could say anything, the door to the house was opened.
"Miss Yuan, Mr. Shang." Tang Dongcen stood up first, his eyes locked on the two people who came together.
Shang Shuze didn't recognize this person. A trace of surprise flashed across his eyes.
After Tang Dongcen introduced himself and explained his purpose, Yuan Qian let go of Shang Shuze's hand and walked towards his mother. "Mom."
Hearing this, Yuan Xueqin raised her head and held her daughter's hand. "Qianqian is back. Are you tired?"
"No. Qian Qian is not tired. Mom, are you okay?" As she spoke, Yuan Xueqin brushed her hanging black and silver hair. Yuan Qian looked at her mother with a smile. "Mom, if you are tired, Just go upstairs and rest first. Qianqian can handle it here."
"Silly girl." Yuan Xueqin rubbed her daughter's head. She chuckled and said, "How can Mom be so delicate? It's not good to rest all day. Since there are guests coming, Mom is leaving because she doesn't want to give face to the guests. .”
Shang Shuze politely invited Tang Dongcen to sit down. Then he started to ask several questions. Tang Dongcen didn't show any airs. The two men were chatting happily.
"Auntie, do you have anything to ask?" After chatting for a while, Shang Shuze asked Yuan Xueqin.[
Yuan Xueqin was silent for a long time. Finally she just said: "Dad... is Mr. Yuan sick?"
Seeing the rare opportunity, Tang Dongcen quickly replied: "Auntie, my grandpa is old. Now, except for his heart, he has problems in many parts of his body. The doctor said he needs to take good care of himself. But probably... in short, if possible, I still hope. Auntie can go back with me."
Yuan Qian has never met her nominal grandfather. However, looking at her mother's current dejection, she also knows that her mother still cares about her father in her heart. "Mom, Qian Qian loves you very much. Because mom is Qian Qian's mother. .Mom, you always liked to say that things are normal in the world. Now Mr. Tang says this. If you want, Qianqian can accompany you to see...grandpa's house."
The last three words were spoken especially quietly. After Yuan Qian said this, he turned sideways and looked at Shang Shuze. He didn't know what to say.
Shang Shuze took a look at the embarrassing situation in front of him. Then he asked Tang Dongcen to leave first. After all, it was a matter that had been accumulated for many years. He thought that Yuan Xueqin needed some time to calm down.
Before Tang Dongcen left, he solemnly said something to Yuan Xueqin. "Auntie, blood is thicker than water. No matter what grandpa did in the past, I thought there was an overnight feud between father and daughter. One of the most regrettable things in the world.
It's 'lost'. I hope you can think about it carefully and don't make a decision that you will regret."
Tang Dongcen nodded towards Shang Shuze and Yuan Qian. Tang Dongcen stood up and left. The cool night breeze made the suffocation in people's hearts dissipate. After Shang Shuze closed the door and returned to the living room, he happened to see Yuan Xueqin getting up.
.The back is slightly arched.
"Auntie, don't think too much. I'll help you go up and have a rest." Yuan Qian put the water cup into the kitchen. Shang Shuze quickly walked to Yuan Xueqin's side.
"Small businessman, tell me, should I recognize my father? I was kicked out of the house back then. I never thought I would return there one day in this life. It has been so many years. I have taken everything lightly.
But I still can't get over this hurdle in my heart. My father and sister were unfeeling at the time, so I wasn't unfilial and didn't listen to advice. Facts have proved that I am to blame for everything. In fact, I am also afraid. I am afraid that my father and sister will see me in such a state of desolation.
When I look like that, I will feel sad, or maybe I will be angry at my ignorance back then."
Shang Shuze listened quietly without interrupting. He knew that what Yuan Xueqin needed now was just a listener. He had the right and should not block the old man's ideas.
Yuan Xueqin recalled while going up the stairs: "Actually, before I left home, I was really the most pampered child in the family. My mother died young, and my father and sister have always doted on me. That is really a principle without any impurities.
Favorite. Maybe that’s the case. Then they will be so disappointed with what I did.”
Shang Shuze settled Yuan Xueqin, and then he said with a smile, "Auntie, have a good rest. There are some things that you don't need to think too much about. When you wake up, the first thought that comes to your mind is
The truest thoughts in your heart. Auntie, everyone should follow their heart. For many things, it is best to follow what is in your heart. Qianqian and I both respect your choice."
"Okay. They are all good kids..." Yuan Xueqin finally smiled in relief. Yuan Xueqin watched Shang Shuze leave.
After Yuan Qian went upstairs, she slipped into the bathroom to take a bath. In fact, she was still a little tired after staying in the hospital for several hours. Taking a warm bath at this moment was really the best thing. There is a discussion
Ze comforted her mother. She was not worried that her mother would think nonsense. After so many years, she knew how broad her mother's state of mind was. What's more, it was not good for others to interfere with some things. All she needed was to wait for a conclusion.
Shang Shuze took off his shirt in the room. Yuan Qian came out of the bathroom and saw this man with his upper body naked and carrying a body that made people's blood boil.
