He knew that others were worried that he was too immersed in grief.
The Xia family threw away all Leng Yunshuang's belongings, burned all photos, and eliminated all traces of Leng Yunshuang's existence. They just wanted him to forget Leng Yunshuang and start over.
However, it still couldn't erase the slightest trace of longing in his heart.
The photos can be burned. Even Qin Ninzhen has never seen Leng Yunshuang's photos.
However, the memory cannot be erased. Decades have passed, and Leng Yunshuang's face is still deeply engraved in his bones and blood. It cannot be burned, destroyed, or forgotten forever.
Moreover, none of them knew that he had actually been secretly hiding a photo.
He stood up and walked towards the empty wall opposite the lounge chair.
Others always think that he likes to stare at the wall in a daze, but this is not the case.
He took down the antique Western clock from the wall and opened the back cover of the clock. There was a yellowed and old photo hidden inside. He seemed to take out his most precious treasure and held it in his hands.
This is the photo of Leng Yunshuang.
He was not in a daze facing the empty wall, but because the antique clock on the wall had always hidden something he cherished throughout his life!
He sank into the recliner and stared blankly at the photo in his hand.
Like, so similar.
Although Qiao Ran and Leng Yunshuang do have some differences when we take a closer look today, they are so similar that it would be unbelievable to say that they are not related by blood. Inheritance is such a wonderful thing.
He recalled that although Qin Nianzhen had met Qiao Ran, Qin Nianzhen had not met Leng Yunshuang. The only person in this family who had met Leng Yunshuang was himself.
He carefully held the photo in his hand, as if he was holding the whole world.
He was a little tired, and after a while, he leaned on the recliner and fell asleep.
On the other side, An Yunxi and Yan Jun did not return directly to Xia's home after leaving Yunshang Mall. The two discussed matters in a cafe near Xia's home until Qin Nianzhen called An Yunxi.
After An Yunxi answered the phone, his voice became softer and he put a finger between his lips to signal Yan Jun not to speak.
"Yunxi, are you at home?" Qin Nianzhen asked gently on the phone.
"No, Mom, I went to Yunshang Mall to buy venue supplies today." An Yunxi replied.
"When I was at home in the afternoon, I couldn't wait until your grandpa came back. No one answered his call. I guess he accidentally pressed mute." Qin Nianzhen said with a headache.
"Do you need me to go back and take a look? You can get home in about an hour and a half." An Yunxi is actually nearby and can get home in a few minutes, but because she lied before, saying that she was still in Yunshang Mall. And from Yunshang
The road from the mall to Xia's house is relatively long, and it is peak traffic period now, so it will take a long time to get there.
"Oh, it's okay. I just want to tell you that dinner has been prepared and placed in the kitchen. Your grandpa sees that he should be able to eat it himself. I just don't feel reassured. I don't know if he has gone back. After you go back, please tell me
Grandpa, go to bed early. I have urgent matters now and have already left home. I have to rush to the capital and come back tomorrow morning." Qin Niazhen said with careful attention.
"Okay, mom. Did something happen in the capital?" An Yunxi was stunned. He didn't know if there was something going on at home. Qin Ninzhen always went to the capital recently, and Xia Shengting didn't return to K City for a long time.
"It's nothing important. Don't worry." Qin Nianzhen comforted, "It's over, take care of yourself."
"Goodbye, be careful on the road." An Yunxi replied sensibly.
After hanging up the phone, she couldn't help but ask Yan Jun, "Is there anything going on in Beijing?"
Yan Jun said, "There is something wrong with the military region. I heard that there was a traitor inside and the location of the weapons and ammunition depot was exposed. So the general has been having a headache recently and is doing his best to transfer supplies and resources."
