The story has been finished, but Cheng Jinzhi's heart can't be calm.

She looked at Cheng Yan in front of her with a stoic expression, her hands clasped tightly on the armrests of the chair, and her eyelashes were trembling slightly.

The dappled sunlight filtered through the gap in the windowsill, shining on his brightly dressed but growing figure, desolate and lonely.

From childhood to adulthood, no matter how the entire Cheng family treated their mother and daughter harshly, she had imagined countless answers just for why Cheng Yan was so ruthless.

Even if she was ignorant and young, she could feel that something unknown must have happened between Cheng Yan and the Qin family.

But when it comes to the reason behind this, whether it is her mother who has committed some great mistake, or whether she is too unlikable, or more complicated secrets, she has no clue at all.

Although the Qin family gave her undoubted maternal love, he never talked to her about the past, and there was always a faint sadness between his eyebrows, and he rarely smiled from the heart.

In my impression, my mother is indeed a beautiful woman with bright eyes and bright teeth, but Cheng Jinzhi always feels that she seems to be living with something.

It's hard and tiring, and it seems that there is nothing in this world that can really make her happy.

Therefore, this beautiful and beautiful face in the eyes of everyone has also become much more gloomy and heavy.

But in fact, the mother who turned out to be unsmiling in her eyes used to be as lively and bright as all innocent girls, and she would also stand up for her child being bullied by villains.

Thinking of what happened to the Qin family later, as well as her short and regretful life, Cheng Jinzhi only felt that he was stabbed in the chest.

A kind of longing for her mother is accompanied by a strong sour meaning, which quickly spreads in the bottom of my heart.

When she wanted to restrain her emotions in front of Cheng Yan, her eyes were already covered with a layer of warm tears.

Maybe leaving this cruel and noisy world, leaving the people you don't love, is it a relief for your mother, right?

And since the death of the Qin family, Cheng Jinzhi has always blamed Cheng Yan for his mother's death, and the suffering of the entire Cheng family.

So she gradually began to affirm that what she originally thought was hidden was actually just an excuse for self-comfort.

She hates the Cheng family, and hates Cheng Yan even more, she is afraid of following in the footsteps of the Qin family, and she doesn't want to escape from this cage all the time.

It's just that she didn't expect that after twenty years of hard pursuit, she thought that there would never be an answer, but she was suddenly exposed to her eyes like this.

Although he could faintly feel it, Cheng Yan still hid something from her.

But she believed that the person Qin Yanqi loved in her heart was Gu Hanqing's father, Gu Xun, which was a fact.

She remembered clearly that when her mother saw this man named as her husband, she had never had that kind of light in her eyes when she met someone she liked.

The grievances and grievances of the previous generation, a wrong relationship, will eventually unknowingly harm the next generation.

Even though Cheng Yan may not want to be so mean and unkind to Cheng Jinzhi, it is precisely because he loves the Qin family deeply that he can't stand the resolute coldness and indifference of the person he loves.

"You look so much like your mother, so every time I see you, I inevitably think of her. ”

After being silent for a long time, Cheng Yan came back to his senses from the deep pool of memories and stared at her in a daze, and suddenly, he mistook Cheng Jinzhi for Qin Ruqi, who had a shocking glimpse when he first met.

"That's why you imposed your hatred for my mother and even for Uncle Gu on me. ”

Cheng Jinzhi raised his head slightly, pursed his lips and took a deep breath, not letting tears flow out of his eyes, and there was a voice of questioning in his words.

Even though he was vividly moved by Cheng Yan about the past, he could think of the grievances and torture he had suffered over the years, but he still couldn't make up his mind to forgive him.

"It's my father, I'm sorry for you. ”

Cheng Yan said in a hoarse tone, his eyes lowered with a long breath, and a complicated look of guilt was reflected between his eyebrows.

Listening to the words "I'm sorry", Cheng Jinzhi's heart suddenly tightened, although his heart fluctuated, he still pretended to be calm on the surface.

Faced with such a father who has always been high and ruthless in her eyes, she never thought that one day, these three words would come out of Cheng Yan's mouth.

"The death of my mother, the suffering I suffered in the Cheng family in those years, and I was even deceived into marriage and almost died in prison. Do you think a word of sorry can wipe everything off in one fell swoop?"

Cheng Jinzhi originally wanted to blurt out a sentence that had been brewing for a long time, but after seeing the faint tears flashing in the depths of Cheng Yan's eyes, he still passively felt compassion and swallowed it back.

"Father, why do you listen to your tone now, as if you are sure that I am your daughter?"

As soon as the words fell, her eyes deepened, recalling the inseparable relationship between herself and Gu Hanqing, and then thinking of the old relationship between the Qin family and Gu Xun, she couldn't help but feel extremely embarrassed.

"You look like your mother, but you also look like me. ”

Cheng Yan slowly turned his head to the light and shadow outside the window, and the dazzling sunlight at the beginning of the day blurred the expression on his face.

"I may not see it, but others can see it. ”

"Really, whether or not I am your own flesh and blood, in the end it is up to someone else to prove it. ”

Cheng Jinzhi smiled sadly, his tone was full of contempt and self-deprecation, and he suddenly felt that the whole person was very depressed, and he wanted to go out and breathe a few breaths of fresh air.

When she came, she originally came for Gao Heng's affairs, but in the end, she didn't ask a word about it.

Until she rushed out of Cheng Yan's study and walked aimlessly all the way, in front of the old house where she lived with the Qin family when she was a child

When he stopped, he suddenly realized that the person who should be guilty was Cheng Yan, and he shouldn't have escaped like this at all.

The old house in front of me was already in the backyard in a remote place, because it had been abandoned for a long time, the outside of the house was overgrown with weeds, covered with moss, and the eyes were full of desolation of people going to the empty building.

But suddenly, she could still see her childhood self and Qin sitting on the cleaned stone steps in front of the house, eating the osmanthus cake made by her mother, and watching her skillful hands embroider all kinds of beautiful patterns.

Even when she grew up, she often complained that she didn't study hard and failed to inherit her mother's superb craftsmanship. It's just that the days go by though

But I also enjoy it because of my mother's company and care.

But since Qin's death, she has been driven to a smaller room to fend for herself, and every time she dreams back at midnight, there are only cold and broken walls, candles that will not be extinguished, and tears that are secretly weeping.

Under the touching scene, Cheng Jinzhi only felt that all the sour and astringent feelings that had been forcibly suppressed came to his heart at this moment.

His nose was sore, and tears had already soaked his eyes.
