The long-cherished wishes and heartfelt things that are impossible to talk about to outsiders on weekdays, and those expectations that she feels that she can't talk about openly in the sun, can be told to Ye Zhen's photos in the dead of night.

His photographs, like tree holes in fairy tales, can hide all her dark wishes. She doesn't have to worry about being known by other people, and she doesn't have to worry about the negative impact that it will bring to her.

Before his death, he was not a good father, but after his death, he became the only person she could confide in.

How ridiculous, the stars are changing, day after day, none of us can predict what will happen in the future.

Those who have loved, hated, missed, and forgotten, what will become of them.

"Dad, I've been wondering all these years if we could go back in time, would we still end up like this. If I knew my background, I knew you...... And they don't like me...... Know Chu Di's thoughts...... Do you say, will I still get to this point?" Lin Xiangwan said, smiling self-deprecatingly, lighting a cigarette, and watching the red fire light ignite in the darkness, she continued, "Look, I'm talking stupid things again. There will never be ifs in this world, and there is no regret medicine for selling. ”

Therefore, we have to be a little braver and go on bravely. Don't look back, don't learn from Lot's wife, tempted by the former splendor and abundance of the city of Sodom, can't help but look back, and finally become a stone pillar.

"I was actually worried at first about whether he would continue to be interested in me, but now it seems that I am too worried. I'll give him this chance. In fact, even if he doesn't ask for it, I'll give it to him. Now it's okay, he took the initiative to bring it up, and I don't have to go around in circles anymore. Putting the burning cigarettes and photos side by side, Ye Zhen had a hobby of smoking before his death, but was later forced to quit because of illness. The flickering firelight illuminated the people in the photo uncertainly, Lin Xiangwan arranged these two things in a proper manner and continued, "But I won't agree to him so easily, it's too easy to get what you have, and no one will cherish it." What he did to me in the past, this time, I will give him all the same, not bad at all, only a little more. ”

"Dad, if you were still alive, would you support me? Or tell me not to continue?" Lin Xiangwan looked out the window, this place was different from the scenery of Chicago, looking out of the floor-to-ceiling windows of her study in Chicago, skimming the roofs of various colors and architectural styles, and reaching a little farther away, there was the endless Lake Michigan.

And here, all she could see was people in small windows who were still watching the lights at midnight and refused to sleep.

Behind every light, there's a story.

Everyone has his own troubles and afflictions, and he cannot tell the secrets of the public.

"Look, I'm talking about what ifs again. You're gone. Lin Xiangwan let out a long sigh, "No one cares about me anymore, Dad, no one can care about me anymore." It's just me in charge of myself. ”

As she spoke, she paused, and turned her head towards the door of the study, knowing that behind the two wooden doors, there was her life's watch.

"Don't worry, I won't let Ye Nan follow my old path. I won't let anyone bully him, I want him to grow up safely, do what he wants to do, and be the kind of person he wants to be. I want to keep him away from all the people who might bully him, if those injuries must come to us, then I will carry them all down, and I will definitely not let them hurt Ye Nan again. ”

"Daddy...... Do you miss me? I miss you, you don't like me, but I ...... I really miss you......" her eyes became sour and unbearable, her voice seemed fragile under the cover of night, unlike the usual shrewd and capable Doctor Lin, Lin Xiangwan was like a lost lonely bird at this time, covering her weak body with thin wings, without any protection, she could only use her backbone to fight against the wind and rain outside.

"It's okay...... We'll see you soon...... It won't be long before it all ends......"

* The day after the complaint, Ji Jasmine went through the discharge procedures and planned to leave Renai.

Out of professional ethics, Lin Xiangwan wanted to persuade her and tell her that it was best to wait for a while before being discharged from the hospital, after all, a caesarean section is a small operation, and if the wound does not grow, it will be very troublesome in the future.

However, as expected, she did not see Ji Jasmine herself, but was simply stopped outside the ward by the security guards sent by Mother Chu, and ate behind closed doors.

Well, perhaps the body structure of the rich is different from that of ordinary people, and the universal laws applied to ordinary people will fail when they reach them. However, Lin Xiangwan didn't feel annoyed, because she had done her duty, and the rest of the matter was not something she could control.

After a few more days, it was Friday, and after leaving all the rotten people and bad things of the Chu family behind, Lin Xiangwan began to arrange to take Ye Nan out to play on Saturday.

Originally, I planned to borrow Shen Shijun's car to drive, but I didn't expect that Shen Shijun's hospital would go to the suburbs to hold seminars on Friday, Saturday and Saturday.

couldn't bear to see Aunt Shen take a bath and wash until her skin faded, Lin Xiangwan kindly returned his car to him, rented a small red polo from the car rental company, and then drove to the apex café in the city center.

Entering the café, Lin Xiangwan saw Ye Kuan sitting in the booth from a distance, looking down at the magazine. She walked over briskly and patted him on the shoulder.

"Ah, eldest sister, you're here. "Ye Kuan's appearance has not changed from four years ago, but he is taller, like a bodybuilder, with an inverted triangle body shape, coupled with the good looks inherited from Aunt Xiang and Ye Zhen, the focus of girls' attention wherever he goes. It's just that his temper is the same as before, a little childish, but he is very kind-hearted.

As soon as he saw Lin Xiangwan, Ye Kuan immediately greeted with a smile and beckoned to the waiter, "Bring a pot of fruit tea, it needs to be hot." ”

"Fruit tea, when have you ever seen me drink this?" Lin Xiangwan was noncommittal about Ye Kuan's choice. Ye Kuan smiled honestly, "Girls like to drink this." ”

"Ah Kuan, I'm not a girl anymore, it's your fiancée who likes to drink this, right? It's fast enough, I think you have to fall in love for another two years, tell me, how did you deceive people?" Lin Xiangwan deliberately teased Ye Kuan, and successfully saw Ye Kuan blushing.

"Big sister...... Not a lie...... We were classmates when we were in college, and we had a good relationship when we were in school, and then we graduated...... Mom said that anyway, the relationship between the two people has been determined, and there is no need to wait so long, let's do things first, if we have children, she can also take advantage of her good health now to help us bring a ......" Ye Kuan said more and more quietly, and in the end, he couldn't say it at all.

Ye Kuan didn't know how he did it, he could pretend to be mature in front of others, but as soon as he saw Lin Xiangwan, he felt as if he had become the youngest in the family again, and he had to look at the eldest sister's face when he spoke and acted.

"It's not a bad thing, look at you. Lin Xiangwan patted him on the shoulder and told him not to be too nervous, "You are a young man now, don't be like before, and wait for me to give you a head." In the future, it will be time for you to be the pillar of the family, and it is time to learn to protect others. ”

"I don't need to say this eldest sister, I know everything. Ye Kuan agreed honestly, and then looked up at Lin Xiangwan tentatively, "Eldest sister...... Mom said she wanted you to go home for a meal over the weekend...... I don't know if you say yes or not. ”

In a few years, Ye Kuan has also become an adult, and he didn't understand the world before, but now he understands a lot. Although Qi Xiangyun is his biological mother, he also knows that she, Xiao Rong, and even his father were not very good to Ye Xiangwan back then, and in the past few years after the eldest sister left, the great changes that have taken place in the family have made him, who has never suffered since he was a child, finally understand what kind of hardships Lin Xiangwan paid in order to maintain this family.

He didn't ask that Lin Xiangwan could treat his family like he did back then, he only hoped that she wouldn't have a problem in her heart.

After listening to Ye Kuan's words, Lin Xiangwan didn't answer for a while, to be honest, she really didn't want to see Aunt Xiang, but Ye Kuan had already come to invite her, if she didn't agree, it would be too sad.

After weighing left and right, Lin Xiangwan nodded with a smile, "Family, why are you so polite." I just recently returned to China and entered Renai, and my work is really busy, so when I'm busy for this time, I'll go back to see Aunt Xiang, she hasn't been easy all these years, and the past is over. Besides, my sister still wants to eat your wedding wine. ”

As soon as he heard Lin Xiangwan relieved, Ye Kuan's heart fell to the ground, and he replied with a smile, "I know that the eldest sister is the best." We plan to wait for the spring to have a wedding, and we will definitely leave the best place for the eldest sister when the time comes!"

"It's not a play, which position is different?" Lin Xiangwan was also infected by Ye Kuan's emotions, and couldn't help laughing.

"Oh, by the way, big sister...... Why did Mrs. Chu call you Miss Lin that day?" Ye Kuan asked cautiously, he had heard several versions of the answer to this question, but he didn't believe it, he only believed what Lin Xiangwan said.

Lin Xiangwan didn't intend to hide it from Ye Kuan, so he replied very simply, "I followed my mother's surname, just because I have some things to deal with, and I don't have any opinion about the Ye family, don't think about this matter." ”

"I know, the eldest sister has always been thoughtful in her work. Ye Kuan nodded firmly, looking at Lin Xiangwan, his eyes were full of trust in her.

Lin Xiangwan's heart was hot, but soon she thought of something else. "Since I mentioned Mrs. Chu, I also have something to ask you, how did you and Xiao Rong meet Ji Jasmine?"

Being asked by her like this, Ye Kuan was speechless for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he said as if he had made up his mind, "Sister, I won't hide this from you, in fact, we are not familiar with Miss Ji, and it is completely because we look at Mrs. Chu's face, in the past few years that you have been away, something big has happened in the family......

ps: My cat is lost, I didn't find it at four o'clock in the morning yesterday, the weather is so cold, I really don't know what will happen to her, my eyes are swollen from crying, and I am dying of pain when I look at the computer. I am sad. Very sad.
