I was surprised because I didn't expect that Governor He would make such a phone call to me at this time, and even say such a sentence to me on the phone.
Sister, I'm off. I'm on my way to the airport.
She didn’t reply. I thought she might be taking a nap. Then I sent another message: President Wu of the Medical University is a very nice person.
After editing this text message, I suddenly felt that I was a little troublesome, but I immediately thought that he was indeed suitable for that position, and he was also very good to me, so I still hesitated to send this text message.
I don’t know why, but after I sent this text message, I immediately regretted it and started to panic.
Feng Xiao, who do you think you are? When this idea suddenly came out of my heart, I realized why I was flustered. Yes, I really like to be nosy.
But I immediately understood the fundamental reason why I wanted to meddle in this nosy matter: I was not doing it for Principal Wu, but because of Chenchen.
From now on, she will open her own music bar in the medical university, so the care of Principal Wu will be very important to her in the future. In fact, this is also an exchange.
After arriving at the airport, I asked Zhong Feng to park the car in the garage below. She asked me, "Just park it here for a month?"
I smiled and said, "What else can I do? It doesn't cost much to stop for a month."
She sighed: "You are not a business person, and you don't care about costs when doing things. Whatever, it's up to you, you don't lack the money anyway."
I laughed it off. But I was thinking: Who said I don’t care about costs? Staying here for a month only costs a thousand yuan at most, but if someone finds out that we went abroad together, my losses will be huge.
That's big.
After getting off the car, I went to the trunk to get her and my luggage, which were actually two wheeled suitcases that could be dragged. At this time, she said to me: "Give me your mobile phone."
I was suddenly stunned, "Why do you want my phone?"
She smiled and said: "Now that you are out, you should turn off your mobile phone. Things in your unit have already been arranged, right?"
I shook my head, "No. A cadre of my level cannot shut down his phone for a long time. This is a rule. I must ensure that my superiors can find me at any time."
She was very surprised, "Is there such a rule?"
I nodded.
In fact, she didn't know that a certain leader once had a series of problems discovered because he had turned off his phone for more than three days. In fact, if he didn't turn off his phone, nothing would have happened. But because he turned off his phone, the superiors thought something was wrong with him.
Then I sent someone to investigate and found out a lot of problems.
Of course I'm not worried about my superiors investigating me, because I think I don't have any big problems. But I don't want to cause trouble for myself. Since there are such regulations from above, I should take them seriously.
It was almost evening when we arrived at Shenzhen Airport. When we boarded the speedboat to Hong Kong, I discovered the text message Lin Yu sent me: Be safe and hope everything goes well for you. "Plain text first release" [
In such a sentence, she didn't mention the matter of Principal Wu. But I know that her not mentioning it already shows that she knows it well. As for me, I have already told her about this matter, even if my work is done.
Once it's over, what happens next is beyond my control.
I wanted to call Chenchen and ask her how she was doing, but I restrained my urge.
There was one thing I didn't expect: when I just deleted the text message Lin Yu sent me, I suddenly received a call from Kang Demao.
My text message contact with Lin Yu has always been like this. After reading it, I will delete it immediately. After all, the relationship between us cannot be exposed.
When I saw Kang Demao's name on the caller ID, I was very surprised and a little excited. But after I was excited for a moment, I suddenly became surprised: Why did he suddenly remember to call me?
I hurriedly answered, "Demao..."
He said: "Feng Xiao, I've been thinking about it for a long time and think we should have a good talk. Are you free tonight? Let's go sit together?"
In fact, I was very happy to hear him say this, but now it was too unlucky. I said to him apologetically: "De Mao, I'm sorry, I am on my way to Europe, and now I am heading from Shenzhen to Hong Kong. I
Let’s talk about it when we get back, okay?”
He didn't seem to believe me, "Going abroad?"
I said: "I just set off this afternoon."
His voice suddenly became strange, "It's not such a coincidence, is it?"
I suddenly felt a little angry, but I tried my best to restrain it, "Demao, do you think it is necessary for me to lie to you?"
He was silent for a while and then said: "Now you are living a very comfortable life, but I am suffering. Well, you can talk about it after you come back."
Then he hung up the phone immediately. I immediately thought to myself: Are you suffering? You are already at the deputy director level at a young age, what else can you do? Isn’t this all your own fault? I am living a comfortable life.
What does not moisturizing have to do with you?
Suddenly, I suddenly remembered what he meant. The meaning of his words seemed to be: It seems that my current nourishment was obtained by betraying him!
I couldn't help but smile bitterly: Who is this? He is like this now, and he still comes to me in such a bitter way to say such things to me. Fortunately, I won't care about him too much. It would be difficult to say it to others.
Suddenly a sentence came to mind: Character determines destiny. It seems that many philosophical words do have their truth.
During the entire trip from Jiangnan Airport to Shenzhen, Zhong Feng kept the minimum distance from me. Except for the gentle look she occasionally gave me, she never had any intimate expressions with me.
But when I arrived at the Hong Kong Airport, she immediately changed. She started to hold my arm. At this time, we were as close as a couple. I immediately understood that she was worried about being in the Mainland.
An acquaintance saw me with her, which had a bad impact on me.
She is a very sensible woman. But judging from her current age, she should be so.
This is my second time to Hong Kong Airport. The last time I came here was with Zeng Yufang. Now this place has not changed at all, but the people around me have changed. This immediately made me sigh: Time
He is truly a magician who can change everything. When Zeng Yufang and I were here, how could I have thought of today?
So what about tomorrow? Who will be by my side next time I come here again? I don’t know, and I don’t want to think about such things now, because I am not a prophet. But what I think about most at the moment is
:When we came back here from abroad, I was able to hold my child's hand.
But, can I realize such a dream?
Tomorrow, tomorrow we will arrive in Vienna. Maybe the day after tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow I will know the answer.
After boarding the luxury passenger plane to Vienna, Zhong Feng immediately snuggled into my arms. She whispered to me: "It's so good. The last time I came out, I was alone. At that time, I felt that my whole world was about to disappear.
I was about to disappear. At that time, I had no support, just like a stray dog. I didn’t know when I would die in a foreign country. It seemed that God was not kind to me, it allowed me to survive, and
It’s so nice to still have you with me now..."
Her words made me feel so warm, and I couldn't help but think: If only I could like her, maybe she would be a good wife.
However, I immediately thought of Zhao Menglei and Chen Yuan. The shadow of their death still shrouded deeply in my heart. At this moment, she in my arms was a woman who had walked out of death. I could not put them together again.
She was brought into danger.
I admit that I have become superstitious now. Although I have tried to get rid of the superstitious thoughts in my heart more than once, I found that it is no longer possible because there is always a terrible shadow playing deep in my heart.
It won’t go away.
Zhao Menglei, Chen Yuan, Su Hua, Liu Meng, Shangguanqin, and Sun Lulu, they all had a special relationship with me, but now they have all left this world, and their deaths seem to be indirectly related to me.
relation.
The rest such as Zhuang Qing, Xia Lan, Tang Zi, Yu Min, Tong Jiumei, etc., but they have all left me. Maybe this is the fundamental reason why nothing happened to them? Regarding this, I really don’t dare to go
Think more.
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. As long as I treat the woman beside me from the bottom of my heart, that's it. Marriage is just a formality.
Suddenly I remembered the nursery rhyme: Nursery rhyme, you won’t say anything more when I’m with this woman, right?
When I arrived in Vienna the next day, I was immediately attracted to this city. It is full of exotic ancient buildings, beautiful sculptures and hot springs, as well as the picturesque Danube River... All of these are full of excitement for me.
Huge attraction.
However, I still decided to go to my destination immediately the next day. Moreover, I checked into the hotel immediately after we arrived in Vienna, and then started to sleep with my head covered because I needed to maintain my strength.
Zhong Feng hesitated to speak in front of me several times. Of course I understood her thoughts. I said to her: "Let's play slowly after we get back from there. Didn't we agree? Or, you can stay here tomorrow
Here I go to Hallstatt alone."
But she smiled and said: "You have a beautiful idea! I heard that it is the most beautiful town in the world, and I must go there. What's more, I came here specially to accompany you, and I want to be with you every day."
I was very touched by her words, so I immediately took her into my arms and said, "Zhong Feng, thank you."
I had a good sleep, and she didn't bother me. She slept with me on the other bed in the room.
When I woke up, I realized it was already midnight. I suggested to her that we go out to eat something together, but she asked me if I was really hungry. I smiled and said to her, "I'm worried that you are hungry."
She immediately ran to me from her bed, then got into my bed and hugged me tightly, "I am really hungry, I want to eat you now..."
In this foreign country, we no longer have any scruples. Therefore, the passion between the two of us is as strong as fire, from our kiss to the subsequent series of sexual movements, and even until the end we reach the climax of desire at the same time.
The pinnacle, this whole process is not intentional at all, it is completely vented by our desires naturally, heartily and constrainedly...
The next morning we took the train to Hallstatt after breakfast. Last night we did not make me feel tired. On the contrary, today I feel that my spirit is particularly good. Maybe it is because of my heart
It is full of hope, and this hope is stimulating the secretion of adrenaline in my body.
When we were on the train, Zhong Feng asked me a question, "How are you going to find it?"
I replied: "I guess that town shouldn't be very big. This time I brought Shi Yanni's photo. When we get there, we will go to all the hotels and ask them one by one."
She said: "I think this method is not very good, because foreigners look at us Asians all the same."
I thought so, so I asked her: "Then do you have any good ideas?"
She stretched out her hand towards me, "Can I see the photo? Let me see if your mother-in-law looks anything special."
Since Shi Yanni and Chen Yuan met as mother and daughter, they took several photos together. Later, Shi Yanni also took photos with my children. This time I brought only three photos, one of which was of Shi Yanni and Chen Yuan.
The other photo is of Shi Yanni and my child together, and the other is Chen Yuan’s personal photo.
Of course, the purpose of my visit this time is to find Shi Yanni first. My child looks like Chen Yuan, and now he has grown up a lot. I am worried that people here will not recognize him when they look at his photo, so I came here specifically.
I brought a photo of Chen Yuan.
After Zhong Feng took the photo from me, the first thing she looked at was the solo photo of Chen Yuan. She immediately said softly: "She is so young and beautiful."
Now I have long passed the sad period, and all that remains in my heart are those beautiful memories of Chen Yuan. I said, "Yes."
She then said something else: "A beauty has a bad fate. Alas!"
I was silent for a moment. At this moment, a feeling of pain suddenly emerged in my heart.
She glanced at me and said, "I'm sorry..." Then she looked at Shi Yanni's photo and said, "She's quite rich. But she doesn't seem to have any special features."
I also went to look at the photos. In fact, I didn’t need to look at them because I was very familiar with Shi Yanni. Then I said, “Well, let’s talk about it after we get there. Maybe there are more Chinese people here, and the locals can already tell the difference.
It’s hard to tell if we look different.”
"Yeah." she said.
This small town called Hallstatt is located in the Salzkammergut region in the eastern Alps. It is said to be four to five thousand years old.
After getting off the train, we took a small wooden boat and sailed to the other side. Lake Hallstatt is crystal clear, like a wide green ribbon in the mountains and canyons.
The rows of wooden houses built near the lake are particularly eye-catching under the sunlight. These wooden houses are very similar to the folk houses in Jiangnan, China, but the walls, doors, balconies, etc. are all made of wood. In order to be different from other houses, each house has
Each household also expresses its own style in the shape and color of the house. Since it is located on the lakeside, each household also builds a wooden boat house in the water near the shore, specifically for docking its own small wooden boat or yacht as a means of transportation.
After landing, we went directly to find the hotel in this small town, and then took out the photos and asked one by one. The people here can understand English, and Zhong Feng and I have pretty good English skills. It's a pity that we can't even get there.
After asking two families, the answers they received were all shaking their heads.
While looking for a hotel, I discovered that every resident here seems to be an artist. The wooden doors of each house are open, displaying and selling various homemade handicrafts: hemp decorations, ethnic dolls, various
Pottery products... and the most attractive ones are wood carvings, including cute animal cartoon shapes, modern daily necessities, and statues of celebrities.
Walking in the long and narrow town, I saw various wooden road signs from time to time. At an intersection, a wooden sign was engraved with three arrows with the name of the road written on it; a restaurant was simply decorated with wooden signs on its exterior wall.
The fish head tells tourists not to miss the delicious food; schools, companies, etc. also have various wooden signs.
The hotels in the town are easy to find because they are signposted with wooden signs showing a man sleeping soundly on a bed.
I really wanted to appreciate everything beautiful here, so I just took Zhong Feng and his family to find a hotel in the town, and then took out photos again and again to show the hotel owner and waiters. However, as they shook their heads again and again,
The disappointment in my heart grew bigger and bigger. My mood began to get worse, and my hope disappeared little by little. Until we traveled throughout the town and searched for all the hotels, my hope was completely shattered.
.
Zhong Feng has been accompanying me, and she also enjoys the beautiful scenery here. However, she has been holding my arm gently. When we asked about the last hotel, she saw my extremely disappointed look, and she
At that time, he said to me: "Let's find a place to sit and have something to drink, okay?"
I was very upset and said, "Don't drink!"
But she said to me softly: "Let's go, let's find a place to sit. Maybe the way we are looking is wrong. Let's sit down and discuss this matter."
I looked at her in shock, "Why is it the wrong way?"
She smiled and said to me softly: "Let's go, let's find a place to sit down and talk slowly. Okay? Look at you, your face is covered with sweat and your lips are so dry."
Then I suddenly felt guilty towards her: She has been with me all the time, and I am tired and she is tired too.
Then we went to a small bar together, and I ordered a glass of lemonade for myself and her. This place is by a beautiful river, and the water is so clear that it is intoxicating. There were not many people in the small bar, so I and she
Zhong Feng suddenly felt a rare sense of tranquility.
It's a pity that I'm still focused on admiring the beautiful scenery here and not enjoying this quiet mood, but I think it's good to talk about things here.
"What do you think is wrong with the way we are searching?" I asked her immediately and found that her eyes were looking at the beautiful river outside. I felt a sense of apology in my heart, but at the moment I couldn't care less because
I really want my hope to come back.
She looked away from the river, then took a sip of lemonade, then frowned and said to me: "I am thinking that there may be two situations now. First, she has been here with her child, but she has already
Left. If that's the case, we won't be able to find it no matter how hard we look. Don't you think so?"
My heart sank immediately, but I still held on to hope, because she only mentioned the first one. So I hurriedly asked: "What about the second one?"
She said: "The second is that she lives here with her children. So think about it, if this is really the case, will she live in a hotel? If a person comes here to settle down with her children, she is
It is absolutely impossible for her to live in a hotel all the time, even if she is rich, because that way there is no interest in life. What is the purpose of settling down? It is to live here comfortably, which should be like living a normal life.
That’s the day. Do you think that’s the case?”
I suddenly woke up as if from a dream, "Yes." Then I looked at her, "Then, where should we look for it?"
She thought about it and said with a smile: "If it were me, where would I live? Well, I have a lot of money... By the way, there is another situation here, that is
You don’t necessarily want to settle here, but you just want to live here for a long time. Then there are two possibilities: one is to rent a house, and the other is to buy a house to live in. But I took a look just now. Although this town is not particularly big,
However, it is unrealistic to search from house to house, and it will easily alarm her. If she finds out that we are looking for her, she might hide immediately or leave quietly immediately. If that is the case,
It would be difficult for us to find it.”
My heart suddenly tightened, "Yes, do you have any good ideas?"
Only now did I realize that I was really confused when I cared, and all of a sudden I had no idea at all. Now I am completely following her opinions.
She smiled and said: "Do you know what is the biggest habit of us Chinese people? Especially us women."
I looked at her in shock, "What is it?"
She smiled and said to me: "Cooking. We Chinese, especially Chinese women, actually have a strong sense of family. For example, I am single now, and I also opened a restaurant like that.
, but I still like to cook and eat by myself. Why? Because the dishes in restaurants contain a lot of MSG, and no matter how they are cooked, they never feel like eating at home. In fact, when we eat more, we pursue a kind of home-style food.
The atmosphere and feeling. Do you think so? So I thought, if Shi Yanni lives here with her children, then she must cook by herself, then she must buy vegetables and milk for her children.
and other daily necessities, so we should go to the supermarket here and ask. If the staff of any supermarket provides information about her and her children, it means that she lives not far from that supermarket, so we
It’s much easier to find.”
I was immediately overjoyed, because I thought her analysis was very reasonable. So I hurriedly said: "Then let's go quickly."
But she was still shaking her head.
I immediately became anxious, "Why?"
She said: "Now is the time to cook. It would be bad if she happened to be shopping there and alerted her. We will go later. If she is really here, we will block her in the house.
, and if she does anything outrageous, we can also call the local police."
I suddenly thought of a simpler way, "Police? Yes, why don't we just go to the police? If she really lives here, the police should know, right?"
She said: "My idea is that it is best not to alert the police. Some things are best resolved through negotiation. After all, it is your child, and I think she should not go too far. But once you let the police show up,
Maybe she will be very disgusted. This is in a foreign country. How can you prove that the child is yours? If you take a paternity test and prove that the child is yours, it is difficult to clarify the legal relationship because this is not a country.
.”
I immediately felt that what she said seemed to make sense.
I looked at the time and saw that it was almost time to eat, so I asked the bartender which place had the most unique dishes here, and he pointed directly to a place by the river.
This is a fisherman's restaurant by the lake. It mainly sells delicious fish dishes. Most of the fish dishes are trout or sea bass, which are fried or fried with the natural flavor of cream sauce.
We also tasted a special dish in this restaurant: marinated pork is grilled and stewed with pickled sour cabbage. Such a typical Austrian country home-cooked dish is actually very suitable for us Asians.
The exotic dishes felt good for the first meal, but I believe that if we eat such things every day, we will soon get tired of them.
There is a saying that a person is nourished by the soil and water. It is actually difficult to change a person's eating habits. This is because our sense of taste has been stimulated by the taste of food in a certain area since we were young, and we have already become familiar with and memorized that taste.
It is really difficult to change. Our sense of taste, like our psychology, actually has its own fixed habits.
To put it simply: In fact, the eating habits of each of us are ultimately a kind of conditioned reflex, because our essence is still an animal.
Eating habits originate from the conditioned reflex formed by the family environment when we were young. I once watched a program on TV about a mother-in-law who has been very accustomed to eating stones since she was a child. If she doesn't eat for a day, she will feel uncomfortable all over.
At that time, the doctor thought she had pica. Later, after an expert investigation, they found out that the mother-in-law and her family thought that eating stones cured the rickets that caused Grandma Luo to not walk since she was a child. But we normal people get this
The conditioned reflex is that stones cannot be eaten, as they will be very harmful to the body. Someone has studied this issue. It is said that it takes at least two years for an adult to change his eating habits. And many people have been away from home for dozens of years.
After the New Year, what I actually like to eat the most is the dishes from my hometown. This is not just a matter of taste, there is also something about emotion or cultural inheritance.
Therefore, I increasingly believe that Zhong Feng’s analysis is correct.
Although Shi Yanni has a very strong character, from what I know about her before, she should still be a very good wife and mother. Lin Yi has always been taking care of various things in the Jiangnan Group, and most of the time she is
Hidden behind.
She has always given me the impression that she does not seem to be particularly jealous. Although she tried her best to prevent Lin Yi from contacting Wu Yaru again, I later learned one thing: Wu Yaru actually faced Lin Yi in her heart.
Yi has true feelings for her, and Lin Yi seems to have the same feelings for her. Now it seems that when Wu Yaru took the initiative to talk to me, there seemed to be an element of her revenge on Lin Yi, because at that time Chen Yuan was still
Living, but I am Lin Yi's son-in-law. No, to be precise, Wu Yaru is taking revenge on Shi Yanni in this way, because she clearly knows that Chen Yuan is not Lin Yi's biological daughter.
Thinking of this, a strange thought suddenly arose in my mind: In this case, why didn't Shi Yanni look angry at all? And Lin Yi later told me that it was Shi Yanni's idea to ask me to find Wu Yaru!
Why is this? Could it be that she no longer has a deep mother-daughter love for her daughter after not seeing each other for many years? Could it be that in her eyes, the mother-daughter love is on the emotional balance between her and Lin Yi?
Already tilted?
I immediately felt as if something was vaguely wrong, but I couldn't find anything wrong for a while. What's more, I didn't have much energy to think about it seriously at the moment.
What I'm thinking about now is: Zhong Feng's analysis should be relatively reliable. After all, Shi Yanni is a woman who is good at living at home.
But now there is not much hope left in my heart, and I seem to regard going to the supermarket as my last hope.
No, there is another possibility. Suddenly, I suddenly thought of something: maybe Shi Yanni had never been here at all, and Lin Yi just said that to me so casually that day.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt myself panicking, and a humiliating feeling of being deceived suddenly came to my mind.
Maybe Zhong Feng noticed something was wrong with my expression, so she immediately asked me: "What's wrong with you? Why did your face suddenly become so ugly?"
A sad emotion that made me want to cry suddenly arose in my heart, "I, I suddenly feel like I have been deceived."
She looked at me in surprise, "Why?"
I said: "Now I suddenly remembered that the main purpose of Lin Yi asking me to go that day was actually to find a reasonable excuse to meet Xia Lan, and what he told me about the child might just be used by him to deceive me.
It was just an excuse, because I didn’t agree to go to his place immediately that day. Later, he told me about the news about my child, which made me immediately change my mind. Because he knew that the child should be more important to me than
Everything else is important."
She looked at me, "Really?"
I nodded.
"No. It won't. Based on my understanding of Boss Lin, he would not do such a thing." However, she said something like this immediately.
I didn't expect that she would come to such a conclusion, because I thought I should know Lin Yi better than she did.
But I still asked her curiously: "Why?"
She said softly and slowly: "Based on my understanding of Boss Lin, I think he should be a person who considers things more carefully. Since he knows that your child occupies a very important position in your heart, then he should think of
You will definitely come here to search. He is your father-in-law. He mentioned you more than once in front of me, saying that you are very smart, and that he has always valued your future. I vaguely heard that
He seems to regard you as Jiangnan Group's future support. Therefore, there is no need for him to deceive you on such matters, because the results of his deception are too easy to be exposed, and because of such things, it will affect the relationship between you.
It's not worth it if it's a relationship. Maybe he really wanted to see Xia Lan at that time, but he just found a more suitable reason. These two things are not contradictory, and they can be put together reasonably by him. You say
Is it this way?"
Hearing what she said, I suddenly remembered that I had told him face to face that I wanted to go out to look for the child, and he did not object at that time. Instead, he seemed to be very supportive of my plan.
It seems that the suspicion I just had was completely wrong.
She glanced at me and immediately smiled, "You, it seems that you are too confused now. I think you should treat this matter with a normal mind from the beginning, so that you can
Be calmer. Of course, I understand your mood very well. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Now let's eat with peace of mind. We will go to the supermarket here to find out the situation in a while. If there is really no news, just ask the police. This can always be done
Alright?"
I nodded and smiled sheepishly.
She said: "Not to mention, the food here tastes really good. Come on, eat more."
After seven o'clock in the evening, we finally finished our meal, and then went to the supermarket in the small town together. We had already asked the waiter of this restaurant and learned that there were actually only two supermarkets in this small town.
When we walked out of this restaurant, I found that the town had entered night. The night here was also so beautiful, and the river looked even more gorgeous under the colorful lights, like a fairyland in the sky.
The night sky here is also very beautiful, it is so pure, the stars and moon in the sky seem to be hanging on the curtain not far away, they are so clear, so spotless.
However, at this moment, I felt nervous again.
