The Spring Festival is coming.

Different from the shabby of previous years, this year's Spring Festival is the happiest and happiest festival for Xu Ran's family.

The reunion dinner of the Chinese New Year's Eve was eaten by Xu Ran and his aunt, as well as Grandma Yalin, together with those brothers and sisters who had come out of the orphanage to visit Grandma Yalin one after another, and it was very lively.

Among Xu Ran's brothers and sisters in the same year, although they were disabled, they had a good life and were able to be self-reliant, and some of them did a small business, and they all married wives and had children, which made Grandma Yalin very pleased.

On the thirtieth day, after Xu Ran's family and Grandma Yalin got together, a leader came to the orphanage to express condolences to Grandma Yalin, and Xu Ran did not participate in it.

Xu Ran's parents used to be educated youths, and they both died young, and there were no relatives here in Xia Cheng, but there were two relatives in their hometown but they had never had any contact, and the relationship between my aunt and the Zhou family was relatively cold.

So for the usual Spring Festival New Year's greetings, they didn't go anywhere, they all sent a red envelope to Xu Ran and Xiaomei for New Year's money, and let the brother and sister go out to have fun by themselves, and the New Year passed like that.

This year is different, there is one more strong son, the family is still quite lively, Wei Zi also planned to come back for the New Year, but he has not been popular recently, and he has been arranged by the company to have many multinational concerts, and he will not be able to come back for a while, so he can only wait until Qingming to come back to sweep the tomb.

Xu Ran had booked a 15-day tour group for her aunt and sister to travel abroad for a long time.

On the first day of the new year, after the tour group gathers, their first stop will be to France.

Originally, Xu Ran also wanted to accompany his aunt and sister to go abroad for a few days, but at his current level, there are still some things to do, and he also agreed to some people's invitations, so he can't go out at will.

More importantly, Li Zhongshi greeted Xu Ran in advance on the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, saying that the leader wanted to invite Xu Ran to his home as a guest on the first night.

After sending off his aunt and sister, Xu Ran waited until about seven o'clock in the evening, and then carefully selected an antique that was not of high value but was quite collectible as a New Year's gift and went to Wei Xingsheng's house.

As an important leader in the city, Wei Xingsheng only gave himself a day and a half off, returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors in the Chinese New Year's Eve, visited his parents and other people in the family, and then stayed until noon on the first day of the new year and returned to Xia Cheng.

After returning to Xia Cheng, Wei Xingsheng did not accept the appointment of other subordinates for New Year's visits, and only went to visit the homes of two retired old leaders in the afternoon, and stayed at home all the time.

Xu Ran's choice of this time was just right, even after dinner, and at the same time, it would not be too eye-catching.

After he went to Wei Xingsheng's residence, only Wei Xingsheng and his wife were at home, and his daughter was still in his hometown to accompany his grandparents and other family members for the New Year.

The antiques brought by Xu Ran were not of high value, only a few thousand yuan, although Wei Xingsheng complained to him, he did not refuse Xu Ran's intention.

Wei Xingsheng's wife is a very virtuous and hospitable person, and she planned to cook some more food for Xu Ran, but because she deliberately chose the time after dinner, Xu Ran refused.

didn't force this, Wei Xingsheng had something to talk about when he asked Xu Ran to come over, and after he sent his wife to watch TV, he called Xu Ran to the study.

There are a lot of calligraphy and paintings hanging in Wei Xingsheng's study, most of which are the words of some old leaders.

Xu Ran found that there were also some old photos, mostly photos of Wei Xingsheng's experiences in various places when he was young, he observed more, and found that the photos of taking photos with Wei Zi's mother alone were almost invisible, and could only be found in a few photos of group photos.

Wei Xingsheng didn't mind Xu Ran looking through those photos of his youth, and he himself would reminisce about the past when he looked at those photos.

However, Wei Xingsheng noticed that Xu Ran was deliberately rummaging through those photos to find someone, and couldn't help asking, "Xiao Xu, who are you looking for?"

Xu Ran had already vaguely guessed Wei Xingsheng's intention of calling him to his home, and said in a casual tone: "I saw an elder I knew in these photos, and I wanted to see her demeanor when she was young!"

Wei Xingsheng frowned, and said, "Then I don't know what the name of your elder is, since it will appear in some of the photos I treasure, maybe I knew each other when I was young?"

"Her name is Lin Xueru, and she was kind to me when she was a child!"

Xu Ran only said one name, and found that Wei Xingsheng's unnoticed movements stopped, and his face stiffened slightly.

However, Wei Xingsheng's cultivation was very deep, and he quickly recovered, and said: "I remember knowing her when I was in northern Hebei, but then I left because of some things, and she has not been heard from later, since Xiao Xu you mentioned it, how much do you know about this Aunt Lin, can you tell her story, I'm curious?"

Xu Ran has been quietly observing the changes in Wei Xingsheng's expression, and he also noticed that Wei Xingsheng's attention to this issue is very strong, and the fluctuations in his heart are also very large, indicating that Wei Xingsheng is very concerned.

After sorting out the memories, Xu Ran said: "When I was a child, I was able to remember when I was about five years old, Aunt Lin lived not far from my house, and she had only moved there for less than two years at that time, and she had a very hard life with a child, and she had been living by washing clothes and doing needlework, but she was often bullied by some ruffians......

When he heard Xu Ran say this, Wei Xingsheng's unnatural fist clenching was still noticed by Xu Ran, and he inadvertently showed a look of guilt and self-blame on his face, but he was quickly able to hide it.

Xu Ran said: "At that time, my parents were still there, and some neighbors around me couldn't see that someone bullied them, orphans and widows would help, but Aunt Lin was very stubborn and had been reluctant to accept funding, she was very busy every day, she would be busy until late, and when she went out to work, the children would be entrusted to Grandma Yalin to take care of, and sometimes when she came to pick up the children very late, she would bring us candy to eat."

When I was seven years old, my parents and uncle had an accident, after I became an orphan, my aunt was sad and overly sick for many days, Aunt Lin did not go to work, she has been taking care of several of our children and aunt and enlightening her, but since then, Aunt Lin's health has not been very good, we were still young at the time, I don't know that Aunt Lin is insisting on herself, in the past six months, Aunt Lin's illness collapsed at home, when Wei Zi cried to find her aunt, we knew that Aunt Lin had cancer, and it was already terminal, Aunt Lin lay on the hospital bed for those days and did not let Wei Zi go home, until the night she went, we were called to her bed by Aunt Lin to her bed, Aunt Lin said something to Wei Zi, and asked Aunt and Grandma Yalin to take care of Wei Zi, and then went to ......"

When he said this, Xu Ran couldn't help but feel a little red in his eyes.

In fact, there are some things he knows and Aunt Lin's miserable living state, he really doesn't want to mention it to outsiders, especially in front of Wei Xingsheng, it is precisely because of these that Wei Zi has lived in a complex and distorted mentality of hatred for his unknown father and love and hate for his mother since he was a child.

When Wei Xingsheng listened to Xu Ran tell the story about Aunt Lin, the whole person seemed very calm.

But he is a person with feelings in the end, especially after hearing Xu Ran tell Aunt Lin about some of her difficult life experiences and the scene of her death due to illness, the whole person has fallen into a state of sadness.

This kind of emotional performance was inadvertently revealed, which made Xu Ran even more sure that he and Aunt Lin must have had an unforgettable emotional past.

Xu Ran remembered the day Wei Zi became an orphan, when Wei Zi ran outside to cry alone, he told him that he hated his mother very much, hated her for being sick and strong, hated her for hiding and not telling him who his father was, so that he was humiliated and ridiculed all the time, and even hated her for telling him at the moment of death, so that he should not hate his father.

At that time, Xu Ran didn't know what kind of state of mind Wei Zi was, but Xu Ran knew that from that night, Wei Zi had a kind of reneging hatred for his father, who had longed for his father's love since he was a child but had never appeared in his life.

Maybe Aunt Lin only told Wei Zi this when she was dying, but because Wei Zi lost her mother, it would completely arouse the hatred in Wei Zi's heart, and Xu Ran didn't know whether Aunt Lin was right or wrong to do this at that time.

It wasn't until she grew up and matured and found that Wei Zi's hatred was even stronger, that Xu Ran knew that Aunt Lin's feelings were not wrong, but as a mother, she didn't tell Wei Zi the answer until she was dying, but it was wrong.

Wei Xingsheng listened to Xu Ran's story, although Xu Ran only picked up some stories to tell, but as a person with rich experience, how could he not imagine what an unmarried woman with a child would experience in such a poor living environment at that time.

Because he can imagine those painful experiences, he will empathize, and at the same time, his heart will feel as if he has been pricked by a needle.

And this pain also includes deep guilt and self-blame, as well as a psychological state of hatred for himself, so that he can't continue to maintain that calm and calm facial emotional state in front of Xu Ran, his nose will be sore, his eyes will be red, and tears will roll in his eyes.

After Xu Ran took all of this into his eyes, he didn't continue to narrate those accidents, but only deliberately turned around and continued to look at those photos to give Wei Xingsheng a process of easing his emotions.

In the past, he had at most six or seven points to speculate that Wei Xingsheng might be Wei Zi's father, but now he is very sure that this must be the father who Wei Zi has always hated in his heart since he was a child.

But Wei Xingsheng listened to the story about Aunt Lin that Xu Ran simply told him, he would feel guilty and blame, heartache, and tears, so he should not be a heartless person, and he will never forget the relationship he once had.

It's just that Xu Ran doesn't know why the end of the development is that the world is separated, life and death are separated, and there has been no contact, and even he doesn't know that he has a son, so what stories have happened to him?

However, Xu Ran didn't plan to ask Wei Xingsheng about the past in his emotional experience, after all, Aunt Lin had been dead for many years, and Wei Xingsheng's current status was there, and there were some things that he might as an outsider say less.

Even if Wei Zi knows the answer now, his mentality towards this kind of thing has long changed from hatred to indifference, so there is no room for easing the relationship between father and son, and I have to say that it is very sad.

After a while, Wei Xingsheng's mood eased.

He watched Xu Ran focus on the photos, but he knew that his gaffe and expression of emotion just now had made this smart young man have some guesses.

However, Wei Xingsheng was also calm, and said: "Xiao Xu, I have also done some research in private, and I can get it, I guess you also have some answers and guesses in your heart, I won't hide it from you, Wei Zi's child grew up with you since he was a child, but I don't know what kind of mentality he has, you should know him very deeply, I want to know what kind of attitude Wei Zi has towards these things?"

Xu Ran turned around and said, "Uncle Wei, you have to be mentally prepared, the outcome of the matter may disappoint you very much, in fact, since the last time Wei Junyan ran to talk to Wei Zi with a photo, Wei Zi's mentality has become very dangerous and complicated, even I don't know what he thinks, but he told me through words, he said that he has no father, and there will be no more ...... in this life."

Wei Zi said those words very resolutely, and when Wei Xingsheng heard it, he suddenly fell into silence.

After being silent for a long time, Wei Xingsheng said: "Indeed, a child who has never received his father's love since he was a child, his psychological state is very complicated in the process of growing up, he has always had hatred in his heart, this hatred will become deeper and deeper with the passage of time, even if he knows the answer, but he will reject, he is unwilling to face it, and even so determined, I can understand ......"

Speaking of this, Wei Xingsheng struggled a few times, but still said: " Since he became a star exposed, now even the old man in the family has paid attention to this matter, and the results have been obtained through the investigation, the father-son relationship has been placed there, the old man is a person who understands righteousness, and he does not blame me for the mistakes of my youth, but it means that I want the child to recognize his ancestors and make amends to the child, but I know that this is difficult, very difficult, once we do something, it will only make him farther and farther away from us, Xiao Xu, you and his brother have a deep relationship, do you have any suggestions?"

"I'm sorry Uncle Wei, it's hard for me to give you any advice on this matter, Wei Zi's psychological growth is complex and distorted in the process of growing up since he was a child, and the mentality of love and hate will make him different from ordinary people when he does things.

Especially in the treatment of women's feelings, he often does very absurd, which seems to be a psychological characteristic of revenge, in fact, he has as much hatred as he has, as much love, and when he hurts others, he is also hurting himself.

It is understandable that you want to redeem and make up for him, but for him, the more you want to redeem and make amends, the deeper the damage may be caused, this is a dead knot in his heart, it is difficult to untie it for a while, if you want to say advice, I hope that you and the people in your family should not contact him directly for the time being, that will only backfire, you can slowly contact and exert influence through outsiders, and ease it through time......"

Speaking of this, Xu Ran saw Wei Xingsheng looking at him, so he immediately added: "Uncle Wei, I am not a suitable person for this kind of thing, because my relationship with Wei Zi is like a brother, if I come to do such a thing, it will only cause a rift in the relationship between us, please don't embarrass me!"
