Dinner in the castle, high-end, elegant and intimate.

An Yixia didn't enjoy the whole process very well, and after the dinner, Li Zun took An Yixia to meet his father Eric alone.

An Yixia asked in a low voice, "When will you send me back?"

"I said hello to my father. Li Zun replied in a low voice.

An Yixia nodded, acquiescing to his arrangement.

Knocking on the ** grand study, Li Zun walked in front, An Yixia followed behind him, and stopped next to the sofa.

Li Zun shouted at the bottom: "Father, we are here." ”

Mr. Eric turned, his face still gloomy and heavy.

"Well, sit down. ”

Eric's voice was a little deeper, and he sat down above, and then looked at An Yixia, "Sit down, kid, I have no ill intentions, I just want to talk to you." ”

An Yixia whispered: "Uncle Eric, I thank you, thank you for your hospitality, I think I should hurry back, sorry for the interruption." ”

"Where are you going back?" asked Eric.

An Yixia looked at Li Zun, and Li Zun hurriedly explained: "I suggest that she temporarily live in the former bachelor apartment, which is convenient to travel and is on the edge of the Ryan River, which is very beneficial to her cultivation." ”

Eric nodded slowly, "I heard you're pregnant?"

An Yixia was slightly stunned, and then generously admitted.

"Yes, so I want to live alone and don't want to trouble everyone. ”

Eric said, "You are easy to move now, it is new to live alone, but how long can you be fresh? There is no one around to take care of you, and no one will help you when you encounter anything." ”

"I can, ask the police if necessary. An Yixia still insisted.

Eric waved his hand, "Sit, sit down first." ”

An Yixia sat down, quite calm.

Li Zun sat down on the chair beside her and did not speak.

"I know you're angry at me for what I said about your father. But in my position, I can fight him, he's an irresponsible man. But fortunately, he is not bad to you, at least you have grown up safely and come to me. ”

An Yixia heard that Eric's words were a little wrong, and immediately asked helplessly: "Uncle Eric, my mother, did you entrust you with anything many years ago? ”

"My wife, a wife in the real sense, she is Gu Qing. ”

Eric kept his voice low, his heart heavy and unpleasant.

An Yixia was taken aback when she heard this, and her eyes widened.

“…… My Mom...... Mom?"

An Yixia's surprise was filled with countless question marks.

Then she looked at Li Zun again, didn't she?

Li Zun didn't look at her, his eyes seemed to drift away, and he didn't know where the object in front of him penetrated.

Ann Yixia turned back to Eric, "Uncle Eric, are you kidding?"

"Your mother was one of the very few international students at that time, wasn't she? She was indeed the only Oriental woman I had ever seen, so beautiful, like a goddess, from the time I met her, I couldn't help but fall in love with her, unforgettable love. ”

Eric's words fell, and the palm of his right hand pressed tightly against his chest, as if the hot emotion was still flowing there at the moment.

"We really love each other, but your grandfather, just because I am from country F, forcibly saw your mother snatched away from me, and after she returned to China, he immediately arranged a marriage for her. That man was your grandfather's student and your father now. Son, why didn't your father mention your mother to you? Because he was a mean little man, a man with a bad heart! I looked into him, and he deliberately approached your mother to gain your grandfather's trust. Before he became your grandfather's student, he had a woman outside, a fellow countryman!

"It's not like that, it's not!" An Yixia suddenly interrupted loudly, "It's all your words, I don't believe it." ”

"I know you don't believe it, but it's true. I am not afraid to confront your father, and I will even question him about his behavior. obviously doesn't love Gu Qing, but for the sake of the future, he took Gu Qing away from me, it's all him! And Qingqing's death, it must not be an accident, it must not be an accident. ”

Eric's eyes were full of ruthlessness and determination, "I will definitely find the truth!"

"My dad rarely mentions my biological mother, but he treats me very well, and I can be sure that he has my mother in his heart. Aunt Gao, who was his later wife, also confirmed this. It's because my father has my mother in his heart that Aunt Gao hates me. I was in my dad's study and found a very old photograph of him with my mom. If he doesn't have my mother in his heart, why does he keep so many years of photos so well?" An Yixia said word by word.

Li Zun said in a low voice: "Maybe you just forgot that there is such a photo, don't think too much." If you really care, you don't have to hide it, but put it out in a bright and bright place where everyone can see it. ”

Li Zun pointed to his father's desk, "My mother, I have too few memories, but because of those photos, I am very familiar with my mother. ”

An Yixia instantly looked in the direction pointed by Li Zun, his eyes widening.

In the black-and-white photos, an oriental woman standing quietly is dazzling.

The black-and-white photos can't hide her peerless elegance, so quiet, so gentle and beautiful.

An Yixia slowly got up and walked towards the desk.

On the wall behind the desk, a photo wall.

An Yixia looked at the wall, approached step by step, and raised his eyes to look carefully.

Her hand gently caressed the smile of the smiling woman on the black-and-white photo.

This woman is better looking than her, and her eyes are indeed very similar to the woman in this photo. In terms of voice and smile, it is also very similar.

No wonder.

No wonder Eric had such a warm look in his eyes when he saw her.

It turned out to be because of the woman in the photo.

There are a lot of photos on the wall, and this woman loves to laugh, which is very different from the dignified, elegant, and silent and silent she vaguely knows.

This beautiful, smiling woman so brightly must not be her mother.

Li Zun approached her, his hand lightly resting on her shoulder.

If it was in the past, An Yixia would definitely knock off his claws as soon as possible.

But now, at this moment, there is a strange feeling in my heart.

That kind of speculation is about to come out, but subconsciously feels impossible.

Li Zun's hand touched the woman An Yixia had just touched, from her eyebrows to her bright smile.

"The woman I love the most, because I miss her, I often see her in my dreams, although she has been gone for many years, and I have grown up, but as long as I miss her, she will be in my heart, forever. This woman is my biological mother. ”

Li Zun's words fell, and he sighed softly, "Girl, she is also your mother, Gu Qing." ”

An Yixia's brows tightened, and then she shook her head.

"No, she's not. ”

An Yixia suddenly took a step back, and in the face of Li Zun's questioning eyes, An Yixia shook his head.

"She's not, this person, unlike what I've heard from my father and grandfather. ”

"How is it different?" Li Zun was anxious, "This is our mother, we are brother and sister, brother and sister who are related by blood, we are all born to this beautiful oriental woman." Girl, why don't you believe me until now?"

An Yixia frowned and shook his head.

"They said that my mother, who didn't like to laugh, was very quiet, and was a polite, gentle and lovely lady. My mother has all the virtues of the tranquility of an Oriental woman. The person in the photo, I admit is beautiful, but she is smiling so happily, she is not my mother. I think, according to my grandfather and father, my mother, she will never laugh like this in her life. ”

An Yixia pointed to an old photo that had been whitened above.

The woman in the photo is holding something in her hand that is blurry and unrecognizable, and the camera captures the moment she turns around, a bright and bright smile is so vivid on her face, her big eyes smile into a line, and her neat white teeth are exposed. Such a hearty laugh was definitely not the action of a lady at that time.

Li Zun heard An Yixia's meaning, and suddenly asked angrily: "An Yixia, are you disgusting your biological mother?"

"No!" Anisha denied.

Suddenly she felt that the development of things was out of her expectation, she just wanted to run far, to find a place that no one knew, and live again.

She doesn't want to recognize her relatives, she doesn't want to dwell on the things of the year, the things of her biological mother, she is used to not thinking about it, at this time, she doesn't want to know.

An Yixia shook her head, she didn't want to get involved in anything anymore, she didn't want to know anything anymore.

"It's not that I dislike her, she has a good and perfect image in my heart, very early on. But what you're showing me now isn't like that. Such a woman is not at all different from what my father said, and I can't accept it. ”

If this is the mother Gu Qing, then who is the Gu Qing that the father and grandfather are talking about? Is it the fake Gu Qing they know?

"Maybe you should take a look at these. Li Zun pulled An Yixia back to the desk.

The newspapers of the early years, all the traces of those years, had long been prepared for her.

Many of Gu Qing's handwritten letters are addressed to Eric, some in Chinese, and most of them are mainly in English.

The letters, the fleshy expression of An Yixia did not want to look closely, but found a few photos of her parents getting married.

The photo here is much clearer than the one she found in her father's study.

The same outfit, a simple white wedding dress, and an elegant and handsome father when he was young.

She knows her father, and the woman next to her is really her mother?

The woman who married her father is indeed the woman smiling brightly and sunnyly in the black-and-white photo on this wall.

An Yixia's heart suddenly hurt a little, is this really her biological mother?

Li Zun pointed to the photos of her parents when they got married, and pointed to Gu Qing for An Yixia to see.

"The mother is unhappy, and she is not happy to marry this man. ”

The words fell and pointed to the appearance on the wall behind him, "You see how happy she was when she was in country F, here, she is the real her, she is really happy." ”

An Yixia's heart seemed to be pressed by Mount Tai and he couldn't breathe normally.

"Yes...... But I ......."

"You don't know her, you don't even know what she looks like. Li Zun lowered his eyes lonely, pressed his hands on the table, and shook his head gently: "You don't know how similar you are to her when you laugh." ”

An Yixia frowned, she didn't know her mother, and her mother was gone not long after she was born. In her world, there is no mother, the role of mother, she only lives in other people's lives, she only sees living in other people's lives.

She is a person without a mother, and even a "mother" is so unfamiliar. These two words, this title, she has never shouted since she was a child. On the Qingming Festival, the family went back to pay tribute to their grandparents, but no one gave their mother a stick of incense.

Mother is missing from her world, from her infancy.

"I'm sorry ......"

In the face of Li Zun's accusation, An Yixia could only say sorry.

"I can't have such an emotional reaction to facing my mother like you. There is no such person in my world. An Yixia shook her head slightly, "I'm sorry." ”

Li Zun looked at An Yixia, and suddenly hugged her in distress.

He said, "Now you understand why I have helped you again and again, and who else in the whole world can stand up for you like this except me?"

This intimate hug......

It's really embarrassing for An Yixia!

An Yixia stood stiffly in place, even though it felt as if this person was her brother, but also ......

Unfamiliar.

"You, you better let me go, Li Zun, I'm too uncomfortable for you to be like this. ”

Feeling uncomfortable, Li Zun thought she was not feeling well, and immediately let go of her, "Listen to me in the future, only I will not harm you, how many times have I warned and reminded you, but you have ignored it." ”

An Yixia buried her head and bit her lip lightly.

"I'm sorry. ”

But she still thinks this thing is mysterious, recalling the scene she met with Li Zun at the beginning.

It was when her stepmother Gao Yuerong wanted to push her to Mr. Jiang Er in exchange for benefits, she ran away and broke into his place and begged him to save her. He refused to his face, but quickly killed her and saved her from Mr. Two.

Therefore, it was not a chance encounter arranged by him. It was indeed an accident, just such an accident, bumped into an older brother?

How many surprises does her mother have left for her?

An Yixia turned his back to Li Zun and didn't believe it.

"Are you really the same mother as me?"

Li Zun's definite response: "It's true." ”

"But!"

An Yixia turned his head, opened his mouth, bit his lip again, and frowned, "We look very different, you are a standard Western face, your facial features are three-dimensional and deep, and your body is also tall in Europe and the United States." Look at me, a typical little oriental woman, a little bit bigger. ”

An Yixia gestured to herself, gestured to herself, and forgot what she wanted to say.

She suddenly turned to Li Zun, "Let's do a check, say that we are brother and sister, no one believes us." ”

Li Zun smiled, "Whatever you say, it's what it is." ”

An Yixia's eyes were puzzled, and he suddenly looked at Eric on the sofa in the distance, and then at Li Zun.

"Your family, don't you know," An Yixia drew a circle from his side, "The relationship between us?

Li Zun nodded, "There is no need to explain and prove, your appearance is the best proof." You and your mother, too similar. When I saw you for the first time, I was in a trance, afraid that when I first arrived in Jiangcheng, I would see that everyone was like her. But as I investigated you, I became pretty sure you were the one I was looking for. ”
