When they arrived at Meishi, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Shao Luansheng went to the construction site. Shang Wan rested in the hotel, but because he was thinking about home, he left after Shao Luansheng, talked to Shang Mingsen on the phone, and left.
I ran away from my home of five years.
When she got out of the car, she saw that her long-lost home looked the same as when she left, with white walls and fences.
Suddenly, a rose sticking out of the fence fell into her eyes. Even after a day of sunshine, it was still dazzling and brilliant. It swayed gently in the wind, seeming to welcome her back.
The white fence railings were much darker and older than when she left. They were the vicissitudes of life after being beaten by wind and rain. She touched the railings, just like stroking bones and flesh that had been separated for a long time, so gently and so eagerly.
Five years have passed and you are still here. Although you are much older, you still decorate this home in obscurity. Seeing you really makes me have mixed feelings!
As she walked along the fence, the European-style villa became clearer and clearer. She remembered that before she left, the exterior walls were bright and dazzling, but now they were as old as a gasping old man. There were even stains on the exterior walls, which made this building look more and more clear.
The unique European-style villa is somewhat decadent.
When I walked to the door, I saw the dark and classical door with flowers, just like the guards of this villa, guarding it loyally to ensure safety.
She raised her hand and touched it again, and found that it was no longer smooth, but had rough skin. It turned out that the paint on it had fallen off. Looking at the gradually fading home, she felt confused. Without her and Tianyi's home,
, it was so dead and lost.
After being lost for a long time, she rang the doorbell. For a moment, the dark door slowly moved inside, and she gradually saw that the stone floor inside was getting wider and wider. The last thing that appeared was a familiar pair of feet wearing cloth shoes.
It's the old butler Fu Bo.
Uncle Fu squinted his eyes and asked tremblingly when he saw Shang Wan.
"Miss, are you a lady?"
"Uncle Fu, this is Wan Wan." When she heard Uncle Fu's voice, her heart felt sour and rushed into her throat, and her voice choked with sobs.
"Miss, you are finally back." Uncle Fu's voice also choked with sobs.
She blinked her misty eyes and said, "Uncle Fu, how have you been in health these past few years?"
"Okay, I just remember you, come in quickly." Uncle Fu was eager and happy.
Shang Wan stepped into the dark classical gate and looked around. Although the flowers and plants in the garden were neatly arranged and the flowers were blooming brilliantly, they still had a sense of decadence.
"Just now, the master called and said you would come back. I was so excited that I couldn't sit still. I really want to see you!"
Shang Wan smiled at him and said, "Ah, dad isn't back?"
"On the way back, only Madam is at home."
"My mother is at home?"
"Yes."
The two of them were walking and talking, but Shang Wan's eyes were still looking around. Seeing that the home she had lived in for twenty years had become devastated, her heart suddenly ached.
When she walked into the living room, the furnishings were still the same as when she left. Nothing had changed, but they were still neat and clean, reflecting the light.
"Miss, sit down quickly." Uncle Fu looked happy.
"Uncle Fu, is my mother in the room?"
"Madam is meditating at this time. Miss, please sit down first. Madam will come down when she is finished."
When she heard Uncle Fu's words, she was a little startled. When she came to her senses, she asked, "When did mom start chanting Buddha's name?"
"Madam, it started in the past two years. She felt too bored at home and wanted to find something to distract her from her boredom. Miss, please drink some water."
Shang Wan took the water glass and said, "She is feeling well!"
"Okay, it's just that I have some health problems recently."
Upon hearing this, Shang Wan asked urgently: "What's the problem?"
"The master is old and has high blood pressure, which is a common problem among the elderly."
When she heard this, her heart suddenly ached. Her parents were old, but she was still wandering out and unwilling to come back. She was really ashamed.
"You need to be very careful with high blood pressure. This disease can be big or small."
"Yes, now I take blood pressure lowering medicine every day."
"That's good."
After finishing speaking, he took a sip of water. "Uncle Fu, where is Sister Wu?"
"Sister-in-law Wu went back to her hometown two years ago. Her son had a baby and she went home to take care of the baby."
"Then you are the only one in the house!"
"I also invited another Ma Li. I originally told the master that I didn't need to invite him. I didn't have anything to do at home. I just cleaned the house, took care of the flowers, and was responsible for my wife's three meals. But the master insisted that I was old and had to hire someone to help me.
." Uncle Fu's words were filled with gratitude.
Shang Wan smiled: "Ah, Dad is right to do this. At your age, you can't be tired."
Uncle Fu smiled and said, "I am very lucky to have met such a good master."
"So your name is Uncle Fu." Shang Wan laughed again.
The two looked at each other and smiled. At this time, footsteps came from the stairs. Shang Wan stopped smiling and looked up.
I saw my mother, Zhao Nongyue, who had been separated for five years. She was wearing a plain robe. Her black hair was parted in the middle, showing a long hair path. There was no sea on her forehead. Her hair was combed to both sides and tied into a bun at the back of her head.
, her sharp face has a unique charm.
When she was young, she was also a beauty.
It's just that her face is calm and colorless, her lips are pursed, and her expression is too solemn. Because she is well-maintained, her skin is fair, with few wrinkles, and her body is slim. She does not look like a fifty-year-old person. At first glance, she looks like she is in her forties.
age.
Her mother was still so indifferent. In her impression, she had always been indifferent and colorless. Only when she quarreled with her father would she show her sharp claws and have an expression other than indifference on her face.
When Zhao Nongyue walked down the stairs, she heard Shang Wan's voice, but there was still no expression on her face, and her eyes glanced at Shang Wan vaguely.
"Ah mom." Shang Wan shouted.
"You're back." She looked at her, her voice did not fluctuate, and it was impossible to guess whether she was surprised, happy or displeased.
"Yeah." She replied with a little palpitations.
Since she was a child, she has been afraid of facing such a mother, which makes her heart tremble.
I saw her continuing to walk down gracefully, not stopping because of her appearance.
"Madam, your water." When she sat on the sofa, Fubo put her water in front of her.
She seemed to be thirsty. She picked up the water with her hands as white as onions and took two sips before putting down the cup.
"Mom, how have you been in good health these past few years?" Shang Wan on the side continued to ask.
"Same old." Short and cold.
Shang Wan was a little uneasy because of her coldness. Uncle Fu, who was standing aside, had sharp eyes and saw it, so he said, "Miss, come back and take a walk to see if there are any changes at home."
This was exactly what Shang Wan meant, so he responded: "Okay."
"Ah Mom, let me take a walk."
"Um."
Just as Shang Wan was about to get up, Shang Mingsen's voice came from the door: "Uncle Fu, has Wan come back?"
"Sir, the lady is back." Uncle Fu responded.
Immediately afterwards, Shang Mingsen's figure appeared at the door, and Shang Wan shouted: "Dad, I just arrived."
"Okay, it'll be good when you're back." Shang Mingsen came over with a smile on his face.
Because of his smile, his round cheeks shone with light.
After sitting down, Shang Mingsen asked about Shang Tianyi.
"Ah Wan, why didn't Tianyi come back with you?"
Shang Wan had long expected that his father would ask about Shang Tianyi, so he responded with the words he had in mind.
"Ah, Dad, Tianyi has to go to school, and I will only be back for a day or two. When I take a break, I will bring him back to see you."
Shang Mingsen nodded: "Okay, I can rest assured that you can do your job."
Zhao Nongyue on the side suddenly said: "Is Tianyi's autism cured?"
"It's almost done, but he's still undergoing treatment. When Tianyi is fully recovered, I want to send him to the United States to study."
"Of course, Tianyi must go to the best school in the United States." Shang Mingsen was so happy thinking that the Shang family's legacy could continue and that he could continue his lifelong career.
Shang Wan also smiled happily: "Dad, Tianyi is actually very smart. As long as I say it once, he can remember it and his brain is very good."
"That's natural. Tianyi has been smart since she was a child, but she just doesn't like to talk much. We don't know what she is thinking. When she was eight or nine years old, she was diagnosed with autism. Dad felt like he was struck by lightning."
Shang Mingsen suddenly mentioned something sad.
"Ah, Dad, those are all things in the past, we won't talk about them anymore."
"Yes, it's all in the past."
Zhao Nongyue on the side still had a colorless face. She didn't care at all about her son's illness or whether he was cured or not.
Shang Wan knew Zhao Nongyue's temperament, so she was not surprised. However, she couldn't figure out why the right mother could be so indifferent to her own child.
She just can't.
Shang Mingsen noticed that Zhao Nongyue had been speechless, so he said to Shang Wan: "Ah Wan, you go for a walk around, and our family will go out for a meal later."
Shang Wan nodded, so she walked up the stairs to her old boudoir.
After Shang Wan left, Shang Mingsen whispered to Zhao Nongyue at the door: "Yue'er, Wan is back, at least show a smile."
Zhao Nongyue's thin face suddenly rippled, but it was cold: "I was generous by not driving her out. She left as soon as she said she wanted, and came here as soon as she said she wanted. What do you think this place is?"
"It wasn't because we forced her that she left. Now she is willing to forgive us. Wouldn't it be great to come back? And she can also help Shang."
"That's your business. I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to my room to rest. You guys will go out to eat later, so there's no need to call me."
"How is this okay? Yue'er, you must go tonight and give me some face, okay?" Shang Mingsen's tone became much softer.
Zhao Nongyue narrowed her eyes slightly: "What are your plans tonight?"
"Qi Zhengnan of the Qi family has always liked Wan. He is thirty now and still doesn't want to get married. The Qi family knows what he is thinking and asked us to meet. It just so happens that tonight Wan comes back, so let's go together!" Shang Mingsen
A light flashed on his face.
"Didn't you say that Wan is still with that Shao Luansheng?"
"Let's meet the Qi family first! Now the Shang family is in urgent need of a huge sum of money. The Qi family is so famous in the political circles. It depends on whether they can get government funding. No one outside is willing to lend money to the Shang family now."
