CHAPTER XLIV

Cui Menghua was not friendly to this uninvited guest who came to his house.

This person's voice is clearly the same as the man who called just now, but his appearance is dignified but his face is cold, how can he feel bad luck when he is on the holiday. However, he always felt that he had seen this young man somewhere, and his facial features could not be said to be good.

His mother's attitude made him feel even more strange, and the moment he heard the doorbell ring, he quickly stood up and trotted to the entrance, but he didn't open the door and didn't ask who the visitor was, but he lay on the security door like a thief and stared at the door through the cat's eyes, and whispered to himself in a low voice, "It's really him......".

Cui Menghua couldn't help frowning when she looked at her mother's series of neurotic behaviors, "Mom, who's out there?"

Bai Han didn't bother with him at all, but seemed to be making a lot of determination, forced out a smile and took a deep breath to open the door.

Zhou Yiting strode into the warm apartment like spring with the cold air of midwinter.

"Ms. Bai, I'm Zhou and listen. ”

Bai Han grinned and said enthusiastically: "It's really Ruchen's son, come in and sit, Auntie will wash the fruit for you." Menghua, what are you doing in a daze, this is the son of my mother's former friend, and he is still your brother in terms of age. ”

Cui Menghua looked at Zhou and listened with vigilance, but did not say anything.

Zhou He heard that the person who came was obviously not good, his tone was light, but the words he said were aggressive, he stopped Bai Han, who was about to turn around and hide in the kitchen, and said, "How do you know how old I am this year? It seems that you are still quite concerned about the situation of me and my mother." ”

Bai Han couldn't hold back his smile when he saw it, and reluctantly greeted him: "Ah...... You sit down first, I'll prepare some fruit for you to eat, and talk slowly, no hurry. With that, he quickly left the living room and hid in the kitchen.

For a while, only Cui Menghua and Zhou Heting were left in the huge room.

Zhou Yiting finally set his eyes on the man in front of him who was almost the same age as himself, "Happy New Year." ”

"......" Cui Menghua only felt that the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, is this man too thick-skinned or too shallow-minded, as soon as he entered the door, he first questioned his mother, and he forced people into the kitchen, and now he actually greeted himself calmly?

Zhou listened but did not feel uncomfortable at all, he looked at the entire living room and sat down on the sofa unceremoniously.

"Are you Bai Han's son?"

Cui Menghua stared at him for a few seconds, and then he realized where that familiar feeling came from, "You are the actor in the new TV series launched by Director Yan." ”

Zhou Heting nodded and continued his own question, "Have you ever heard her say the name Zhou Ruchen?"

Cui Menghua felt that this person was unspeakably weird. The drama "Breaking Dawn" has been very popular in recent times, and the publicity is not big, but it can't stand the love of netizens, and almost every time you go online, you can see the relevant news of this drama. So although Cui Menghua has never watched an episode, he has already seen Zhou and listened to it on the news picture.

“…… I don't recognize the name. Cui Menghua hesitated for a moment, but still answered him, "This is the first time I've heard it." He had a slight doubt, because the Zhou Listening seen in those stills seemed to have always been the color of the black iris, and the man who was now sitting peacefully in front of him had a pair of amber eyes.

Zhou He didn't know what to think of when he heard him say this, and chuckled, "If it's really like Bai Han said, how could she never mention her college friend to you?"

Cui Menghua could see that this person was hostile to his mother, he felt very inexplicable, but subconsciously defended, "So what, maybe I just forgot about it." ”

Zhou Heting obviously didn't believe his words, and turned to look in the direction of the kitchen and waited for Bai Han to appear.

Cui Menghua also took the opportunity to sit diagonally opposite him, and looked at Zhou and listened not too politely.

This man is probably of foreign descent, and although his face is angular, he can still see a very obvious Asian appearance, and if it weren't for the pair of amber eyes that are too scarce, he would probably think that this is a handsome Chinese.

Cui Menghua couldn't think of a reason why he was so unkind to his mother. His mother was a very competent mother before he graduated from primary school and started boarding school, and gave up her career to be a full-time mother for him, but although they spent a lot of time together, her mother liked to listen to him tell him about her daily observations, and did not say a word about the interesting things of his youth, even if he grew up to be a man and became a mature man, his mother hardly shared his past with him.

He never overheard his mother quietly looking through the photos of her youth, fiddling with old things, as if she was deliberately avoiding them, as if it was a forbidden area.

In fact, who hasn't done stupid things when he was young, Cui Menghua himself can fully experience this complex feeling after experiencing a frivolous youth, but he doesn't think that when he reaches the age of not being confused, he will mind the black history of the past so much, after all, it is just laughing or sighing when he tells it, and it is already in the past. However, her mother has always had a deep obsession with what happened, and she didn't even want to mention to herself how she and her father met and fell in love.

Now the man who is sitting on his sofa unceremoniously with an expression that can't see the waves, seems to him as if the side of his mother that he doesn't know about him finally can't hide and accidentally leaks it to himself.

He was about to open his mouth to ask Zhou Erting, who didn't say a word, but his mother really walked out with a fruit plate, with a kind smile on her face that was too deliberate, "Come, listen, these are all fruits that Menghua just bought today, I must be tired all the way over, eat first......"

"It doesn't matter if you're tired or not," Zhou listened to interrupt her polite words and asked bluntly, "You haven't answered my question yet, why didn't you send that letter." ”

Bai Han secretly gritted his teeth, and turned to look at his son who had been sitting on the sidelines, "Menghua, I just found out that the vegetable oil in the kitchen ran out, can you go out and buy a bucket for your mother?"

Cui Menghua heard that she obviously wanted to break up herself, and she was even more confused, but she didn't want to disobey her mother, so she had to reluctantly agree, "...... Good. With that, he got up and picked up his coat and left the house, when the door closed with a bang, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became stern.

Zhou listened and said, "What, is there anything that can't be heard by your son?"

Bai Han finally stopped smiling, her expression was flustered and anxious, and she asked in a low voice, "What do you know?" It's been so many years, why are you coming to me now?"

Zhou Listening looked at her helplessness and anger coldly, completely unmoved, "Whether something happens or not is the key, and it has nothing to do with how many years have passed." Or, as you said, after all these years, what do you mind, such a gaffe. ”

This sentence seemed to have finally hit the last defense and fantasy in Bai Han's heart, and she sat on the edge of the sofa farthest away from Zhou Heting a little dejectedly, and her voice sounded lost, "I'm just...... I just didn't know what you were going to ask me......"

"You know very well that my mother died five years ago. ”

Bai Han closed his eyes and nodded, "She's been my friend for many years, how could I even ...... I didn't even know that she had died. ”

Zhou He listened to the plate of bright fruits, and his tone was no longer as hostile as Fang Cai, "Friends for many years? I have lived with my mother for so many years and have never received a word from her so-called friends. We've always had nothing to do with everybody. ”

"......" Bai Han chuckled, "Ru Chen is that kind of person...... Once she has made a decision, it will not be able to change it for many years...... It's because she's cut off contact with me, it's not that I don't want to ...... with you."

"Don't talk like it's my mother's reason. Zhou Heting picked up a grape and didn't know what he was looking at, and only put it in his mouth for a while, "I already know most of what happened back then, but there are some more detailed things that I don't know enough about, such as you, if it weren't for that letter, I wouldn't have known that there was another person who knew the beginning and end of that incident back then." ”

Bai Han supported her forehead tiredly, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes looked very obvious, "That's right...... I know that......"

Zhou listened and stopped interjecting, and sat aside and waited for her to tell.

"Back then...... At that time, you & your mother had just conceived you, and I wanted to talk to your father about it, and then ...... Married to him, they were indeed very affectionate at the time, and your father should have been very happy to have children, but ...... I don't know how much you know about your father, his family background is very prominent, and his parents are very typical European aristocrats, and there is discrimination against actors who show up outside, and you & your mother are Oriental, and they don't want to mix other countries' elements into their orthodox Western aristocratic blood, so ...... I've always been very opposed to your parents' relationship.

However, Ru Chen was pregnant unmarried at that time, which in their opinion really touched their bottom line, they thought that they had caught the evidence of Ru Chen's misconduct, and even began to speculate wildly whether this child was your father's, asserting that Ru Chen wanted to marry into a famous family by being pregnant & pregnant...... You know what kind of person your mother is, how can she tolerate such slander, but your father is not a fierce person like Ru Chen, he is afraid of the past, and he does not have the courage to be the enemy of the whole family, so he ...... I think you know the rest of the story......"

Zhou Heting listened to her words quietly, but his face became more and more weird, and he suddenly asked, "Why don't you mention Yan Ru at all." ”

Bai Han's face instantly faded to blood, and she raised her head in surprise, staring at Zhou Heting with round eyes.

"Why did my father's family frame my mother for nothing, is it just because they were prejudiced against my mother from the beginning?" Zhou Eryan's voice gradually brought a chill, just like the temperature of the deep winter outside the window, "I have already told you that I know eight out of ten about this matter, but there are some details that are not very clear, so ...... Why don't you still tell the truth?"
