Chapter 013. Ten years home
As soon as Yao Chen entered the house, he heard his father Yao Zhiyuan ask anxiously, "Qin Hai has passed?" β
"yes."
Yao Chen nodded and asked with some puzzlement, "What's wrong?" I put him at the train station and came back. β
Yao Zhiyuan held a handbag and a note in his hand, handed it to Yao Chen and said, "Look for yourself, after you left, I found it under the table when I wiped the long table." β
Meng Mei looked at Yao Chen from the side, her face full of confusion.
Yao Chen took the handbag and the note, and saw a line of small words written on the note: There are 200,000 here, not much, it can be regarded as a gift for meeting uncles and aunts for the first time.
Yao Chen looked at this line of small words, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
She didn't expect Qin Hai to leave such a sum of money when she left.
She knew that the money must have something to do with her sister, but her parents didn't know about it, so it was impossible for them to accept such a large sum of money for no reason.
"Dad, Mom, we can't touch this money." Yao Chen thought for a while and then spoke.
"Of course, how can we ask for such a large sum of money."
Yao Zhiyuan said very firmly, "Even if the two of you have any other agreements in private, you have to follow the etiquette procedure step by step, and you have to wait until your parents meet."
"Dad! What are you talking about? β
Yao Chen glared at his father with a red face, and said angrily, "How old am I, besides, I and I are not what you think." β
"Then why did he give us 200,000?"
"How do I know! I'll take the money and deposit it into my bank card tomorrow, I'll keep it first, and I'll return it to him when we meet next time. β
After Yao Chen left such a sentence, he ran back to his room with a handbag and a note
Meanwhile.
In a villa on the outskirts of Beihua City.
Ran Xue sat on a high stool, with a canvas in front of her, a pencil in her hand, and she was engrossed in what she was depicting on the canvas.
When Ran Qiyang pushed open the door and walked in, he saw such a picture, until he walked behind Ran Xue, and Ran Xue didn't notice the arrival of his grandfather.
Ran Qiyang looked at the lifelike portrait on the canvas, and his brows furrowed unconsciously.
It was a young and handsome young man, Ran Qiyang didn't know him, but he felt familiar.
"Cher"
Ran Qiyang screamed softly, but Ran Xue hurriedly stood up from the high stool as if she was frightened, turned her back to the canvas, and blocked the portrait on the canvas behind her.
"Grandpa, why are you here?" Ran Xue said a little unnaturally, as if the secret in her heart had been discovered.
Ran Qiyang smiled and said with concern: "Grandpa saw that you have been in the studio for a day, so I came to see you, and by the way, I told you that it was time for dinner." β
"O'O, is it so late?"
As she spoke, Ran Xue stepped forward and grabbed her grandfather's arm, and was about to go outside the studio, and continued, "Then I won't paint, I'll accompany my grandfather to dinner now." β
With that, the grandfather and grandson walked out of the studio.
As soon as the two of them left the studio, a young man in a suit and leather shoes pushed open the door of the studio and walked in.
This young man is none other than Ran Qiyang's personal entourage, although he is not very old, he looks only in his twenties, but he is already one of Ran Qiyang's most powerful assistants, when Ran Xue was involved in the kidnapping case in the bank, he has been following Ran Qiyang as the leader of the bodyguard team.
He took out his phone, pressed the camera button on the portrait on the canvas, and then quietly left.
After dinner, in Ran Qiyang's office.
"Yu Feng, how's it going?" Ran Qiyang asked the young man who was standing respectfully at the desk.
The young man called "Yu Feng" was the same person who entered Ran Xue's studio to secretly take portraits.
Yu Feng handed a sketch portrait to Ran Qiyang's hand, and replied succinctly: "The face is very raw, I have never seen it before." β
"Is it a public figure?" Ran Qiyang asked again. After all, his granddaughter is only eighteen years old this year, and the possibility of chasing stars cannot be ruled out.
"I've looked into it, and I'm pretty sure it's not." Yu Feng replied with certainty.
When Ran Qiyang heard this, he stared at the portrait in his hand, as if he wanted to see through the person on the portrait, and after he was silent for a long time, he raised his eyelids, stared at Yu Feng sharply, and said in a deep voice: "Give me everything to find out the details of this person." β
After Yu Feng answered "yes", he bowed to Ran Qiyang again before turning around and leaving Ran Qiyang's office
Because it is a general express, it takes more than six hours to travel from Wuhe Town to Yuyang City.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when the train arrived at its destination, but there were still many pedestrians in the square of the train station.
In Qin Hai's memory, his home is still several kilometers away from the train station in the city center, and before he left home, Qin Hai liked to come to the train station very much, because there were many people here, and Qin Hai especially liked to be lively when he was a child.
At that time, Qin Hai always liked to beg his parents to take him to the city center to play, especially near the train station, looking at the crowded crowds, the precocious Qin Hai always felt that he could get some inexplicable satisfaction from it.
Qin Hai stopped a taxi and, according to his childhood memories, told the driver a destination. After all, it has been more than ten years since Qin Hai left home, and in these ten years, many things may change drastically, including the address of Qin Hai's house, so Qin Hai is not sure if the place he is going to now is not his former home
The taxi driver is a very talkative middle-aged woman, looking for topics to chat with Qin Hai along the way, and from the mouth of this middle-aged woman, Qin Hai also roughly understood the main changes in Yuyang City over the years.
Over the years, the city of Yuyang has been developing to the south, and the north has gradually become an old city, which is basically unchanged from ten years ago.
When Qin Hai left home, his home was in the northernmost part of Yuyang City.
After arriving at the destination, Qin Hai gave the middle-aged woman a hundred-yuan bill, said "no need to look for it", and got out of the car.
Sure enough, it was still the street ten years ago, but there were many more cracks on the cement pavement than ten years ago, dense, like criss-crossing cobwebs.
The trees on both sides of the road are much thicker and more leafy than they were ten years ago.
There are far fewer people walking on the roadside than there were ten years ago.
Qin Hai walked on this cement road that he had not set foot on for ten years, and for a while, he had mixed feelings.
He was only fourteen years old when he left home, and now he came back at the age of twenty-four.
There are parents at home, a sister who is a year older than him, and a younger brother who is eight years younger than him, Qin Hai suddenly didn't know how to face them ten years later, and the more he grew up in the past ten years, the more he felt ashamed of his family
From afar, Qin Hai had already seen the lights on at home, because it was a faΓ§ade room facing the street, so the lights in the hall of the house were exceptionally bright, even through the ground glass, the light could illuminate a long distance outside the glass door.
Qin Hai stood outside the glass door and hesitated for a long time before pushing open the glass door in front of him.
As soon as the glass door was pushed open, the scene in the hall came into Qin Hai's eyes: a circle of people sitting around a mahjong table, four mahjong players, and a group of spectators.
Qin Hai recognized his father and mother at first sight!
Even though he had been away from home for ten years, even though he was only fourteen years old when he left home, Qin Hai still recognized his parents in the crowd at first sight!
"Lao Qin, someone from your house has come." Someone was the first to notice Qin Hai.
The middle-aged man who was drawing cards slowly picked up a card from the card table and turned his head to look at Qin Hai at the same time.
His right hand was wrapped in a white bandage and two fingers, the process of holding the cards seemed to be very difficult, when his eyes touched Qin Hai, his hand holding the cards suddenly trembled, and the cards fell on the table.
"What's the matter, do your fingers still hurt?" Sitting across from him was a middle-aged woman, who asked with concern when she saw this situation.
Lao Qin didn't say anything, but stared at Qin Hai with a pair of eyes, and then stood up from his seat suddenly.
Because he was accidental, he overturned the table top of the mahjong table to the ground.
At this time, everyone realized that something was wrong with Lao Qin, and they all followed his gaze towards Qin Hai.
Among all the people, there are two people whose eyes are different from others, one is Lao Qin, and the other is the person who just said that he cares about Lao Qin, and these two people are his parents Qin Yuan and Zhou Yu who Qin Hai recognized at a glance as soon as he came in!
"Who are you looking for?" Qin Yuan's voice trembled a little.
His current feeling is very unreal, such as in a dream, if it weren't for a bunch of people next to him, he was really ready to reach out and slap himself to see if he was dreaming now.
Zhou Yu also stared at Qin Hai with eager, incredulous eyes, without blinking, as if he was desperate to hear an answer from his mouth, and at the same time afraid to hear it.
Qin Hai looked at such parents, and suddenly felt that his nose was sour, and his mouth unconsciously made a sound: "Parents"
His voice was very soft, not enough for the people in the hall to hear, but Qin Yuan and Zhou Yu really listened to these two words in their hearts.
"It's over, it's over"
Qin Yuan suddenly said to the people around the table at a loss, "It's very late, let's play here today, let's continue another day."
Zhou Yu was also busy echoing, but his voice trembled violently.
Those who could get together to play cards were neighbors in the neighborhood, and after seeing that the host had issued an eviction order, they exchanged a few words of greeting each other, and then they all went home together.
In the blink of an eye, only Qin Hai and his parents were left in the hall.
"What did you just call us?"
Qin Yuan and Zhou Yu rushed in front of Qin Hai almost at the same time and asked in unison.
Qin Hai's gaze instantly softened, and he replied, "Dad! Mother! β
