Zhao Xuerong picked up the teacup and was about to drink it when she suddenly trembled. The teacup in her hand almost fell on the table, "You...how do you know?"
"Lin Jianguo told me!" Li Zikun looked plain and couldn't figure it out. The people who left Lin Zhilin back then have actually appeared now.
"Why are you looking for her? Why are you looking for her again when you left her alone?"
"No, Mr. Li, things are not what you think!" Zhao Xuerong was very excited, with tears in her eyes.
"Mr. Li, as a man, how many people would accompany their wives to find their former daughter!" Ma Qingchen looked calm, took out a cigarette and handed one to Li Zikun. He lit one himself, "For what happened back then,
I wonder how much you know?"[
"But we have been looking for their mother-in-law and grandson for 22 years. Isn't that enough?"
Li Zikun lit up his cigarette and was stunned for a moment. They have been looking for them for 22 years. Is this true? "Have you really been looking for Linlin and the others? Why should I believe you?"
Although he knew that their family conditions were not bad, Li Zikun still knew that he left the infant Lin Zhilin when he was young. Now he wants to recognize Lin Zhilin rashly, which is unjustifiable.
Even if all this was Lin Jianguo's fault, no matter how hard it was, how could his own mother be cruel enough to abandon her daughter and fly away? Even if she abandoned her infant daughter, she even changed her name.
"Mr. Li, we have really been looking for them for 22 years. Over the years, there is not a day when I don't think about my daughter." Zhao Xuerong seemed a little excited, her eyes were red. There were many people in the restaurant, so she had been restraining herself.
Ma Qingchen patted Zhao Xuerong on the shoulder, took a deep breath of cigarette, and recounted what had happened.
Li Zikun was shocked. From a woman's perspective, Zhao Xuerong was really helpless back then. In that situation, how many women could survive strong?
Maybe God favored her and met Ma Qingchen when she jumped into the sea. Therefore, her life changed. If not, maybe He Li back then and Zhao Xuerong today no longer exist. She died 22 years ago.
.
At this moment, Li Zikun was also very conflicted. He just kept smoking and didn't know what to say. As the saying goes, it is difficult for an upright official to deal with family affairs, not to mention that he is just an outsider.
He added another cigarette and took a deep breath. "Linlin and Auntie are living a good life now, and maybe you should be recognized. But have you ever thought that your sudden appearance will disrupt her life!
"
"What's more, you and Lin Jianguo were not divorced back then. In any case, Lin Jianguo did do a lot of things that were sorry for you back then, but he is working hard to correct them now!"
"Your son is getting older, but legally you are still Lin Jianguo's wife. The most urgent thing is to talk to him!"
Hearing this remark, Ma Qingchen and Zhao Xuerong looked at each other. Zhao Xuerong said: "I have nothing to say to him, I just want to find my daughter!"
At this moment, Peng Lihua walked in. She saw Li Zikun talking to two unfamiliar faces, looking quite sad, and hurriedly came over. "Hei Zikun, what's wrong? Why are you keeping such a straight face!"
"It's you!" Li Zikun changed his face, with a smile on his face. "If I have anything to do, I'm just chatting!"
Peng Lihua is also an old acquaintance. How can he not see through Li Zikun's thoughts? He looked at the three people and saw some clues, "Hei Zikun, who are these two?"
"Friends!" Li Zikun stood up, "Let me introduce to you, Sister Hua, the boss here. Ma Qingchen and Zhao Xuerong, they are Ma Chao's parents!"
"Ma Chao's parents?" Peng Lihua was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized. "Is that the handsome young man who chased Linlin some time ago?"
Hearing this, before Li Zikun could speak, Zhao Xuerong's face turned pale with fright, "Sister Hua, what did you just say? My son is chasing Linlin, are they really in love?" [
"No!" Seeing Zhao Xuerong's expression changed drastically, Peng Lihua hurriedly explained, "That was a misunderstanding. Your Xiaochao liked us Linlin wholeheartedly. Later he found out that Linlin already had a boyfriend, so he didn't like us anymore. Now the two of them are
Good friends, like siblings!"
Zhao Xuerong finally breathed a sigh of relief. The thing he was most worried about finally didn't happen. Ma Qingchen also breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, he was still thinking that if the brat got drunk, he would be beaten to death when he got back.
With Peng Lihua's intervention, naturally we could no longer talk about Lin Zhilin's affairs. The few of them chatted for a while, and Ma Qingchen left a phone number for Li Zikun, saying that he had something to do in the garage and left.
As soon as they left, Li Zikun didn't stay much longer and returned home after paying the bills. He originally wanted to talk to Lin Zhilin, but suddenly remembered that he had been working all night and was sleeping now, so he gave up.
…
During lunch, Lin Zhilin woke up. As soon as she finished eating, Li Zikun found an excuse to "cheat" Lin Zhilin out of the house.
The two of them got into the Audi 6. Li Zikun drove to a coffee shop, found a remote seat and sat down, and ordered two cups of coffee.
Seeing Li Zikun acting mysteriously, Lin Zhilin felt a little unnatural and asked suspiciously: "Second uncle, what is going on?"
"Drink coffee!" Li Zikun smiled, picked up the coffee and drank it. In fact, he didn't know how to say it.
Lin Zhilin pouted, picked up the coffee and took a sip. "Second uncle, you won't call me out just to invite me to drink coffee, right?"
Li Zikun laughed a few times, took out a cigarette and lit it, and asked tentatively: "Linlin, if, I mean if. If your mother suddenly came to see you, would you recognize her?"
Lin Zhilin's heart skipped a beat at the sudden question. She stared at Li Zikun, "Second uncle, what did you say?"
"I mean, if your biological mother appeared in front of you, would you recognize her?" Li Zikun looked serious and his tone was very calm.
"I...!" Lin Zhilin bit her lip lightly, not knowing how to answer for a moment. From the time she was sensible, she knew that she had no parents.
When I was very young, I wanted to have parents so much. But as time went by and I grew up, my thoughts began to change, from wanting my parents to questioning.
Why do others have parents, but I don’t? Why do my parents abandon me? Why is my father a gambler? Why does my mother abandon me as a baby and leave?
Lin Zhilin felt extremely sad when she thought of her hard life as a child. Her grandmother had raised her up, so she had no money to study and her grandmother taught her how to read. While others were in school, she was still picking up rags with her grandmother.
In order to be able to go to school, my grandma got up early every day and went to pick up rags in the dark. She finally saved some money for herself to go to school, and she also studied hard.
I was always first in school and never came second in exams. But it wasn't until I entered high school that I couldn't bear to see my grandma working so hard, so I gave up studying.
I recall that when I was 17 years old, I dropped out of school and was beaten by my grandma. That was the first time my grandma hit me. It was the only time my grandma hit me when I grew up. That time, my grandma cried very sadly...
Thinking of the past, Lin Zhilin had already burst into tears. Li Zikun felt a little regretful and at a loss, "Linlin, what's wrong with you?"
"I hate them, I hate them, and I will never forgive them. I only have a grandma, but no parents!" Lin Zhilin burst into tears and was a little choked with sobs.[
He simply sat in the corner and did not attract the attention of other coffee drinkers. Li Zikun also knew how Lin Zhilin came here when she was a child, and he could understand her mood at this moment.
However, instead of comforting her, he continued, "What if your mother has her own reasons? Do you hate her too?"
"Difficulties!" Lin Zhilin lost her voice. She wiped her tears and tried to stabilize her emotions. She asked, "Second uncle, have you seen her?"
That she, of course, refers to Lin Zhilin's mother. Li Zikun also heard how smart Lin Zhilin was and how he deceived her. He nodded and acquiesced.
"How do you know she is my mother?" Lin Zhilin stopped crying and her tone became questioning. It seemed that she already knew who she was.
"Your dad told me!"
"She is not my father!" Lin Zhilin was very angry and a little excited. "Second uncle, I know you have been with him all the time. Let me tell you, I will never forgive him, and neither will grandma!"
"Also, if you work as a lobbyist for them in the future, I will never pay attention to you again. I hate them. They didn't want me and grandma back then, why should I recognize them now?"
After saying this, Lin Zhilin stood up and left. Li Zikun was a little surprised, "Linlin...Linlin!" But Lin Zhilin ignored him at all and walked straight out of the coffee shop.
She stopped a taxi and got in. At this moment, she felt very confused. What Li Zikun said was swirling in her mind. In fact, Lin Zhilin had a special feeling when she saw Ma Chao's mother for the first time.
Especially when she stared at him, and because she looked so similar to herself, an idea came to her mind. It was just an idea at first, but now it's confirmed.
She is her biological mother. She has always had a special feeling for Ma Chao, but now she realizes that it is family affection. They are all born from the same mother's belly, so naturally there will be an innate affection for her.
He turned out to be my younger brother! My half-brother! Thinking of this, Lin Zhilin felt ridiculous. She took out her mobile phone and dialed Li Hao's number, but the phone was still turned off after calling her.
"Husband, what's wrong with you? Why can't I get through? I miss you so much!" Lin Zhilin squeezed the phone tightly and said in her heart.
…
Changjiang City, No. 1 Detention Center.
At this time, Li Hao was sitting cross-legged on the floor. It had been ten days since he came here, and he was very confused. He got into a lawsuit for no reason, and this time he was in big trouble.
The day after he was imprisoned, his uncle came to see him and told him everything. It was difficult to get out this time. Although the real murderer had been caught, he could not escape his involvement.
The reason is very simple. Even if Liu Wei was not beaten to death by himself, he was beaten before death, which made him injured and lost his ability to resist. To put it more seriously, he indirectly killed Liu Wei.
But Li Hao doesn't understand. His uncle is the director of the Public Security Bureau. How can he not settle such a small matter? Putting aside his uncle, his father's official position is higher than his and is directly linked to the military. Although he has no real power in the local area.
, but if you really want to do something, you have great power!
Okay, let’s not talk about these two awesome guys. As for my mother, she is a famous entrepreneur, and my grandfather is also an entrepreneur. They know a lot of people in the officialdom. With just one word, they can definitely make money for themselves.
go out.
Now it's better, they don't come to take advantage of themselves. It's not the law that wants to punish them, it's them who work together to punish them.
It's no wonder, since he was born from his mother's womb, he has been very naughty. If he doesn't read well, he just likes to gamble. Forget about gambling, he has been fighting since he was a child.
Nowadays, you can think about it with your buttocks. Back then, my father wanted to join the army, but he didn't go. Now that he has committed a crime, why don't he take the opportunity to punish his son.
Damn, that’s unreasonable!
Several prisoners squatting in the corner saw Li Hao without saying a word, and they all felt unsure. Ever since this man came in, everyone has not had a good life.
He won't talk about eating for now. He is a lunatic. He has nothing to do when he is full. He is always looking for trouble. If he gets into trouble, he will beat up anyone he catches.
"Who is that!" Li Hao pointed at a wall of new people, the one who said he would beat Li Hao when he came.
"Boss, what's the matter?" Du Xinzhen hurriedly stepped forward, nodding and bowing, for fear that if he didn't serve well, he would be beaten again.
