But after the elegant man knocked on the door, there was still no answer.

Chu Ci was carrying a gift in his hand, some skin care products bought from the Neon Country and a porcelain doll wearing a kimono. She stood not far away, watching the middle-aged man knock on the door, feeling a little embarrassed.

So she couldn't help but walk up and say, "Is there no one in there?"

But as soon as she said this, the door creaked open.

It was not someone who opened the door, it was Ah Fang who couldn't speak.

When she saw the man, her face was calm and calm, and then she expressed it in a dumb voice, which probably means that our lady does not want to see you.

The man's face changed instantly, but he still said good-naturedly: "Su Xin, you let her come out to see me." ”

Ah Fang shook his head and gestured twice, then saw Chu Ci standing aside, smiling and gesticulating.

Chu Ci didn't understand what she meant, and lifted the gift in his hand: "Is Auntie at home, I want to give her some gifts." ”

Ah Fang nodded, then pulled her in, and gestured to the middle-aged man, probably to let him go quickly.

The middle-aged man is also a persistent person, he glanced at Ah Fang who was blocking the outside, then clasped his hands into fists and said, "Okay, don't see me, I'll go in by myself." ”

Ah Fang suddenly panicked, and stretched out his hand to stop him.

Chu Ci didn't know what the relationship between this man and this Aunt Su Xin was, but Aunt Su Xin didn't want to see him anymore, and he had to break in, which was really a bit unreasonable, so she hurriedly said: "This gentleman, it's not good for you to be like this!"

The middle-aged man stopped his movements and cast his gaze on Chu Ci's body.

Maybe that gaze was too intimidating, Chu Ci couldn't help lowering his head, and his voice was much quieter: "If you really want to see her, sincerity is essential." ”

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, then sighed and beckoned the driver to come over.

The driver handed Ah Fang a box and advised, "This is a gift for Mrs. Su Xin, you must hand it over to her personally." ”

Fong nodded.

Chu Ci raised his head and looked at the elegant man in front of him, with a pair of glasses, a high nose bridge, it seemed that he was also a beautiful man when he was young, and what was even more rare was that he had lived to this age, and his figure was not out of shape.

But Chu Ci quickly lowered his head, because the man had already felt the gaze from Chu Ci.

He furrowed his eyebrows, slightly displeased.

Chu Ci pursed the corners of his lips, and then silently turned around and entered the small courtyard.

On a winter afternoon, under the rattan trellis in the courtyard, Lin Suxin was sitting on a wooden chair, and when she heard footsteps, she asked, "Did the people send them away?"

Ah Fang babbled a few words, Lin Suxin raised her face, but saw Chu Ci following her, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Hey, why are you here?"

I don't know why, Chu Ci has a special impression of this Suxin aunt.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that she is very gentle and beautiful, and she is also approachable!

"It's almost the end of the year, and I'm coming back to see grandpa, so I'm coming to see you. She took out the gift in her hand and gave it to Lin Suxin: "I went to Japan a few days ago to play, and then brought some small gifts, I hope you don't dislike it." ”

Lin Suxin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "I let you break the bank, how embarrassed am I." ”

"It's not very expensive, it's some skin care products and a ceramic doll. ”

Lin Suxin looked at the beautiful and lovely girl in front of her, and smiled at the corner of her eyes: "Okay, I'll take it, let's stay for dinner later!"

After speaking, she patted Chu Ci's hand: "Let's go in and talk, it's windy outside, it's cold." ”

Ah Fang followed behind her, handed her the gift in his hand, and babbled and gestured.

Lin Suxin raised his eyebrows: "He gave it?"

Fong nodded.

A look of disgust flashed in Lin Suxin's eyes, but he probably took into account Chu Ci's presence, so he didn't let Ah Fang throw it away, but said lightly: "Put it away first!"

The living room is small but very distinctively furnished, and there are a few bouquets of plum blossoms in the vase on the coffee table in the living room, which looks particularly vibrant.

Chu Ci has seen so many people, but no one can coexist as elegantly and beautifully as Lin Suxin.

The quiet and indifferent temperament exuded by her body is enough to make people deeply impressed, but I don't know why, she and Ah Fang have been living in this remote place, and they have lived for more than 20 years.

Lin Suxin beckoned her to sit down in the living room, and then poured her a cup of tea.

Chu Ci took a sip of tea, thinking that he had seen her in the hospital not long ago, so he asked, "Is your leg well?"

"Well, it's okay, I can walk now. Lin Suxin took a sip of tea, pursed her lips and smiled: "It may be inconvenient to live here, there is no one to take care of a little problem, and Ah Fang can't speak." ”

The woman's tone was light, but Chu Ci still heard a burst of desolation.

She couldn't help but say, "Your child, why don't you ......"

Speaking of this, Ah Fang suddenly pulled her clothes from behind.

Chu Ci suddenly understood, quickly shut up, and then lowered his head, the atmosphere was quite embarrassing.

Lin Suxin didn't care, and said generously: "I don't have children." ”

Chu Ci was stunned for a moment, raised his face to look at her, he didn't expect her to say such things so frankly.

Seeing Chu Ci's surprised look, Lin Suxin slowly poured water into the teacup, and then spoke: "I lost it as soon as I was born." ”

At that time, she was really desperate, and even thought about death, at the beginning, Sheng Zhongyao was tolerant of her, but then he simply ignored her, and brought the woman back in a grand manner, I heard that she was pregnant, and later she seemed to have given birth to a daughter.

Chu Ci pursed his lips, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

In the end, she said sneeringly, "Didn't you look for it later?"

"I looked for it, but I didn't find it. The expression on Lin Suxin's face was still faint, without much change, and after more than 20 years, she seemed to have really let go. At that time, the information was so backward that I couldn't find it anymore if I lost it.

She sighed faintly: "Maybe I don't have a fate with that child!"

Chu Ci's heart was panicked, as if a ball of cotton was stuffed in his throat, and he wanted to make a sound but couldn't say it.

Probably noticing that this topic was a little heavy, the woman smiled and changed the topic lightly: "Mr. Fu's body is still healthy!"

Chu Ci nodded: "Grandpa, he is in good health, and he has a little problem, but his body is generally quite tough." ”

Hearing Chu Ci call Fu Mingchuan Grandpa, the woman couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly and think for a while, as if she heard that Fu Mingchuan had a son and a daughter under his knees, the son died, and another daughter settled abroad.

So this one?

"You call him grandpa, are you his ......?"

Chu Ci explained: "I am his granddaughter-in-law. ”

"Oh, that's it!" Lin Suxin smiled and didn't say anything more.

Chu Ci saw that it was not early outside, so he was about to get up and say goodbye, Lin Suxin stood up and asked, "Why don't you stay here for dinner?"

"I just came to my grandfather's side today, and I guess I've cooked there. ”

In Lin Suxin's eyes, Chu Ci is still a simple little girl, as if she hasn't grown up yet, and it seems that the Fu family protects her very well.

"Next time?"

Lin Suxin is not an enthusiastic person, but I don't know why she likes the cute little girl in front of her so much, probably she has been lonely for a long time, so she has a good impression of Chu Ci who suddenly appeared.

"Well, I'm going to stay here until the Chinese New Year, so there's still a chance, and I'll definitely come over next time. ”

"Good!"

Lin Suxin stood up, sent her to the door, and asked, "I don't know your name yet?"

"Chu porcelain!"

After Chu Ci left, Lin Suxin walked into the room and asked Ah Fang: "What about the things that Sheng Zhongyao sent just now!"

Ah Fang handed it to her, and when she opened it, she saw that it was a thin lady's fountain pen.

The cap of the pen is engraved with small and thin characters - plain heart.

There is also a card inside the box that says Happy Birthday.

Today is his birthday, it's hard for him to remember, but what's the point of him doing this, isn't there a woman and a daughter at home, after so many years, I only came to her now, do I want to say that I can't forget her ex-wife, or is it just that I feel guilty and want to make up for it when I'm old.

Lin Suxin rubbed the engraving on the cap of the pen, and finally sighed softly.

…………

At night, Chu Ci slept in Fu Heng's room, and then called him.

Fu Heng was probably still working at this time, but his little wife took the initiative to call him, and as a good husband, he naturally stopped his work and listened to Chu Ci.

The two of them were tired for a while, and Chu Ci hung up the phone and prepared to sleep.

But I don't know if it's because of the bed, she doesn't sleep very well.

In a daze, she thought a lot, thinking of her lonely life experience, she didn't even know who her real parents were.

I only knew that I was picked up by Chu Tianhua from under the overpass on a snowy night, and as for why it appeared under the overpass, I really didn't know at all.

Chu Ci turned over and felt that he couldn't sleep.

If she can't sleep, she can't call and harass Fu Heng anymore, so she turned on the light and looked around, ready to find a book to read.

One wall of Fu Heng's room has been opened up to be used as a bookcase, and it is filled with all kinds of books, which looks like a good student.

He studied architecture in college, so there are a lot of books on architecture on his shelves, as well as some books on finance.

But these are all things that Chu Ci can't understand and doesn't want to read, after all, she hasn't studied and doesn't like it.

So her eyes flipped through the world classics in the middle layer, and finally her eyes fell on "The Count of Monte Cristo".

This kind of book must be excellent as a bedtime read.

It's just that as soon as she pulled it out and opened it, a thin photo fell out.

Chu Ci was stunned for a moment, and then quickly bent down to pick it up.

When he saw the person in the photo, Chu Ci was instantly stunned.
