In the spacious and bright office, there is a dark red sofa with a very soft texture, a mahogany desk, and a dark red boss chair.

There is a cup of freshly brewed coffee on the table, which is steaming. The mist wraps around the surrounding air, making the face of the person on the chair look a little blurry.

Sighing, Bing Meng sank deeply into the chair and looked at the pile of bills on the table in a daze.

A woman walked in briskly. She handed Bing Meng a stack of information and said, "Manager Chu, this is the information you want." Bing Meng nodded to the woman as if she suddenly woke up.

"Achu, are you worried?" the woman asked with concern.

Bing Meng closed her eyes and sighed.

"Are you worried about your cousin not going to school again?" the woman asked cautiously.

Bing Meng opened her eyes and rubbed her temples: "Yes, Benny, tell me how I can convince her."

Benny has a pair of sharp eyes and a capable mind. She is Bingmeng's right-hand assistant in business and her rare good friend. She thought for a while and said: "This matter is really difficult to handle, mainly because of you."

Your husband's family doesn't like you raising such a big idler who is just a 'cousin', so she doesn't want to increase the burden for you, right? The crux of the problem does not lie with her, but with you. As long as you can make the director

If her family accepts her, of course it won’t be a problem.”

"The problem is that there are such a large group of people in his family who only like to come to us to play in the autumn breeze, but they don't like to listen to my reasoning." Bing Meng said with a headache.

"Well, then we have to think of other ways."

"Okay, I'll think about this myself, and you can go out and get busy."

"Yes, manager." Benny backed out.

Bing Meng took down a book from the bookshelf and took out a yellowish photo from it. The little girl in the photo smiled sweetly. She was wearing a purple hat with a

A small purple flower, her clothes are also purple, she looks like a small lavender, smiling so sweetly on the beach. Looking at the girl in the photo, Bing Meng's heart tugged again

It was tight, she stared at it for a long time, and finally looked away. She suddenly stood up, put the photo back into the book, and put the book on the bookshelf.

She took a deep breath and said silently: Sister, this time I won't let you be wronged again. Then she sat on the chair and dialed the phone.

"Dad, where are you now?"

"I'm in Singapore."

"how is your day?"

"What's wrong? What's the matter?"

After hesitating for a while, Bing Mengcai said: "Mom has been very unhappy these years, so why can't you make concessions to each other?"

"Bing Meng, I know, dad is very sorry for you, because you didn't have a dad around to love you since you were a child."

"I've never thought about it like this. Forget it, your affairs are too complicated and I don't know. I'm calling to tell you that Ziyi doesn't want to study anymore."

"What?"

"Dad, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of her. She is working outside now. She said she wants to make money to support herself, but she is still so young."

"What happened?"

"Will you come back? I'll tell you when you come back. I think this time, only if you come back can Ziyi no longer be wronged."

"What happened to Ziyi?" Chu Shitian's voice immediately rose, and his tone could not conceal his anxiety.

"It's no big deal, dad. You should come back to see her. Your fourteen-year period has expired. Ziyi will be her eighteenth birthday in more than ten days, and the agreement between you and your mother has also expired.

, there shouldn’t be any problem if you go more than ten days in advance, right?”

"Fourteen years, yes, I didn't even realize, Bing Meng, you are already twenty-five years old." Chu Shitian said with emotion.

"Dad, come back." Bing Meng's voice was choked with sobs.

"Okay, then I'll come back as quickly as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Shitian looked at the disconnected mobile phone. For some reason, he suddenly had an ominous premonition.

He looked at the photos on the table. Aman was wearing a white skirt and Ziyi was wearing a purple princess dress, smiling sweetly at the camera. He gently touched the photo with his hand and stared at Ah Man.

Man, his fingers touched the photo frame, and he seemed to feel her body temperature. He murmured to himself: Ah Man, you must keep our daughter happy.

Three days later, Chu Shitian finished all his work and returned to the city he had left for ten years. From the moment he set foot on this land, he felt like he was in another world. The streets here had changed a lot and were more prosperous than before. His

An inexplicable melancholy filled my heart.

Stand on the side of the city street and find Bing Meng's home according to the address given by Bing Meng.

Fourteen years ago, he left Ziyi without the love of her parents, so he has always felt that he owed Ziyi. However, the agreement between him and Yifang stated that he was not allowed to interfere with Ziyi's life.

, and he told Yifang that he wanted her to treat her well, and Yifang agreed, so he kept his promise in the past ten years and never came back to see her, but he would always ask Bingmeng to take some photos of Ziyi and send them to her.

She let him know how her daughter was doing, and let him know that Ziyi was growing up happily.

Bing Meng was originally going to pick up Chu Shitian, but because he had an impromptu meeting, he couldn't spare the time, and Chu Shitian also said that he could find it by himself.

Chu Shitian stood at the door and rang the doorbell. The person who opened the door was Zhou Ma, the old man who had been taking care of him and Yifang since they got married, and who had also taken care of Bing Meng when he grew up.

When she saw Chu Shitian, she couldn't believe it for a moment. She rubbed her eyes and suddenly shouted: "Uncle, you are back!"

Chu Shitian smiled: "Mother Zhou, you have worked really hard these years."

"No, no." Zhou Ma wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, waved her hands, and greeted Chu Shitian into the house as if she suddenly woke up.

Chu Shitian looked at this house. This should be the house that Yifang gave as a wedding gift to Bing Meng, he thought to himself.

Zhou's mother was already so happy that she couldn't describe it in words. She was bringing water, tea, fruits and snacks.

Chu Shitian smiled and said, "Mama Zhou, you don't have to be so busy."

"Then what's the point? You've been gone for so many years, leaving only mother and daughter. Fortunately, the young lady is also married now, but the madam rarely stays here. She travels all over the world, and it's rare to have a year.

I can meet you once, alas..."

Chu Shitian quietly listened to Zhou's mother chattering about some things that happened after he left.

Bing Meng waited for the meeting to end and called Xinhai to tell him that his father was back.

Liu Xinhai asked in surprise: "Really?"

"It's true!"

"Bing Meng, we must treat your father well."

"What about my dad? Don't you call him dad anymore?"

"Yes, yes, let's go buy him something. What does he like?"

"Let's talk about it after we go back first."

By the time Bing Meng and Xin Hai returned home, Chu Shitian had already taken a nap and was rested and full of energy.

When Bing Meng saw Chu Shitian, she happily ran up and hugged him. Chu Shitian patted Bing Meng on the shoulder. Even though they met once a year, her mother was present, so she didn't dare to hold him like this.

, because her mother had a deep hatred for her father. That kind of hatred made Bing Meng afraid to get close to her father, which would embarrass her mother. She knew that her mother must have loved her father miserably to have such deep hatred. So

You can't blame your mother for this.

"Bing Meng, you said Ziyi doesn't want to study?" Chu Shitian asked.

"Well, I'll tell you the specific situation later. Dad, let's go get something to eat first."

"Okay." Chu Shitian nodded and walked out of the house with them.

Along the way, Bing Meng introduced the changes in the city to Chu Shitian. Chu Shitian only listened quietly. He had been living alone for so many years and was used to listening. But this time

When he came back, he felt that he was really old. The city was changing every day, but now he couldn't even recognize his daughter. He didn't want to fight for anything now. When he left Ziyi fourteen years ago, he had already

He already knew that he would be lonely forever, but fortunately, Bing Meng still cared about him. He smiled to himself, and then looked at this familiar yet strange city with emotion.

Bing Meng and Xin Hai took Chu Shitian to the ‘Golden Restaurant’.

It was drizzling now, and the wisps of rain flew to the top of his head, and flew to his face and body. It added a kind of melancholy to people for no reason. Chu Shitian thought that he was not a sentimental person like a woman.

But looking at myself who was doing everything in this city more than ten years ago, and now has to secretly imitate me even when I come back, I can't help but feel melancholy.

Fourteen years, fourteen years can change a lot of things. Now he is no longer the handsome man he used to be, but an old man who is about to be fifty. Just when he was thinking about this idea in his heart, Bing Meng pulled

After tugging on his clothes, he came back to his senses and realized that they had arrived at the entrance of the Golden Restaurant.

Bing Meng gently leaned into Chu Shitian's ear and said: "Dad, this is the 'Xiaoyou Park' you brought me to play when I was a child. I still remember that you brought me to play on the seesaw. But one year ago, Mom

When I came back, I fell in love with this place and built this restaurant. But the business is really good."

As soon as those four words "Xiaoyou Park" entered his ears, his whole body was shaken, he felt dizzy, and his chest felt like being hit by a hard object.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the four splendid characters in front of him. His eyes blurred to see the forest path and the stone benches and wooden chairs on the path. The chairs were black, and the armrests on one side curved upward in a spiral shape.

, there are carvings on it. It looks like an antique, antique. Fourteen years ago, this was a park, a park full of memories. At that time, he had just met Aman, and he and she often spent time together.

When dating here, looking at the moon and counting stars, Ah Man likes to read poems about the moon to him most, such as "On the willow branches above the moon, people meet after dusk."; "The bright moon rises above the Tianshan Mountains, between the vast sea of ​​clouds."; and "

The dew is white tonight, and the moon is bright in my hometown." etc., and he doesn't like poetry. Except for the well-known poem "When will the bright moon come, ask the sky for wine." He can't always answer the other questions.

, seeing that he couldn't answer, she would laugh and call him a fool. And he would tell her his experiences and stories... They have so many memories and so much happiness here.

At that time, Aman was lively and cheerful. She was still an innocent girl of 18 years old.

She always likes to go to the grass to watch ants move and listen to crickets singing. She also loves flowers and trees. When she sees someone folding flowers or branches, she will run forward to stop them. If the other person doesn't listen, she will be very unhappy.
