After the end of the call with Yang Qu, my whole nerves tightened, and I didn't know how to talk to Yang Qu about that heavy history in a harmless way, especially when Jiang Jiyou's whereabouts were unknown...... I said it, which means that she is the same as me, without her father, and I am not sure if she can have a strong enough will to face these now.

However, there is also a little comfort in my heart, because the people who should return to Tulip Road seem to have returned. Although this road has changed greatly over the years, there are still some people who think of themselves as fallen leaves and come back to live here, isn't this a good reminder? So I believe that after this last turmoil, everything will slowly get better.

About an hour later, Yang Qu dragged her suitcase to my place, and I cleaned up the house for her during this time, and then cooked a meal for the two of us.

After Yang Qu put the suitcase in the cabinet next to the bed, she was not in a hurry to eat, she looked at me with a serious expression and asked, "Brother, what do you have to tell me...... Along the way, I was in a panic all the time. ”

I didn't want the atmosphere to be too solemn, and I didn't want to put too much psychological pressure on Yang Qu, so I smiled and said, "Let's eat first, it's almost 8 o'clock, it's important to eat." ”

Yang Qu grabbed me who wanted to turn around and leave, and then said very resolutely: "No, you can say now, I can't wait to finish eating......"

"I just hope you can use this time to prepare for your meals...... Because what I'm going to tell you is not a good thing, and you need to be very strong in your ability to bear it. ”

Yang Qu said very persistently: "Although I haven't suffered any setbacks since I was a child, but in the past two years, I have followed your group of people, and I haven't seen any kind of wind and waves, so I have also figured out many things in life, isn't it nothing more than separation and integration, life and death?" ”

I looked at her resolute eyes and finally said to her, "Then I'll say ......"

Yang Qu's expression became nervous, daring to face it and being afraid of it are indeed two different things. I tried to calm myself down a bit, and then I said to her, "My mom's health is not very good...... Some time ago, she went to the hospital for a routine physical examination and was found to have breast cancer...... However, you don't need to be too nervous, because it is still in the early stage, and breast cancer is relatively easy to cure, so there is still a lot of hope for a complete cure. ”

After I finished speaking, Yang Qu's whole body was tense, tears just swirled in her eyes, and after a long time, she choked up and said to me: "How can such a person get such a disease?" …… It's cancer, it sounds scary...... Before, it seemed that there was a singing female star who died because of breast cancer! ”

I gently hugged Yang Qu, and then comforted me softly: "That female star is because after the operation, she didn't recuperate well, and she still received notices everywhere, and the work pressure was too great, which finally led to her recovery...... Our mother's situation is much more optimistic, you really don't have to worry too much. ”

"But don't you know what kind of person Mom is? …… The meaning of her life is like to work...... Maybe you don't know, she has seriously affected her relationship with my dad for work...... Because the state has regulations that the immediate family members and spouses of cadres at the county and department level are not allowed to do business, and my father's level has long been far beyond the county level, so he especially hopes that his mother will give up the road of doing business...... If Mom continues to do business, not only will he have to take political risks, but it will also be difficult for him to go up, so they are now at such a stalemate, and no one will budge...... But these two people have to have one to give up everything they have now...... Otherwise, once the state's supervision system is perfected and investigated, it will be a serious violation of discipline......"

Yang Qu's words made my heart a little upset, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have any idea of whether the family members of officials can do business, because there is no such phenomenon around me, and I can't get in touch with such high-level officials...... At the same time, I also saw Yang Jin's selfishness, and her selfishness was me and Yang Qu, she didn't care too much about the man named Yang Zonghuai, because her success today is premised on Yang Zonghuai's sacrifice...... Of course, Yang Zonghuai also got huge political chips from her, so the two are not a couple who really live their lives, and they have a shocking relationship of interests behind them.

After a period of silence, I said to Yang Qu again: "Don't think too much, this may be a good opportunity for our mother to give up all these things that she has been doing all these years, and then live a normal life...... Yang Qu, the reason why I am telling you this is just that I hope you can fulfill your responsibilities as a child like me, not to convey these pessimistic feelings to me...... Make a bad assumption, if one day, our mother really chooses to quit in order to fulfill your father's political goals, should we fulfill our responsibility of support? …… And can you take this responsibility as your own motivation, and then work hard without becoming a burden to our mother? …… I think that by then, she will be relieved and willing to stop and enjoy life, and breast cancer is not an invincible disease for her, right? ”

Yang Qu fell into silence, and only after a while did he look up at me and say, "Brother, I understand what you mean, and I know what I want to do...... However, I don't know why, from your words, I always feel that you have completely separated your mother and my father. Even if my mother has nothing, but there is still my father, although we have the responsibility of filial piety as children, my father will not give up on her, because I am their common daughter...... It may be hard for you to say that, but we are a family of three. ”

I looked at Yang Qu, but this time I really didn't know how to tell the truth in front of her...... From my heart, I really hope that Yang Jin will tell her the truth in person, but at this time, how can I bear to let Yang Jin repeat this torment again? If she could say it, she wouldn't have dragged on until today and didn't choose to tell Yang Qu the truth...... But it is impossible to hide it for a lifetime.

In the midst of mixed emotions, I lit a cigarette, weighed it inwardly, and finally made up my mind. This kind of thing, maybe it would be more appropriate to say it from the mouth of my brother, because I can tell her as a bystander that Yang Jin's hardships back then, which will make her a little more acceptable.

In the wind whistling on the rooftop, I finally extinguished the cigarette in my hand, and then said to Yang Qu in a low voice: "Since you have talked about the topic here, then I think there is something I should tell you......

Although I hadn't said it yet, my heart was in my throat for a moment, because I was really not sure what kind of result such a message would bring, and Yang Qu looked at me motionlessly...... I looked at her and my body began to stiffen.

I let out a heavy "breath", lit a cigarette again, and took a puff before saying to her: "Yang Qu, what I am going to say next may completely subvert all your existing cognitions, but many things have developed into the current situation, and I must tell you the truth...... In fact, back then, my mother was pregnant with you before she returned to Shenzhen, but at that time she had already divorced Jiang Jiyou...... In desperation, she went to her grandfather for help, and then her grandfather arranged the marriage between her and Yang Zonghuai, and Yang Zonghuai chose to accept it for the sake of his career...... So, you are not Yang Zonghuai's daughter...... You're my half-sister......"

Yang Qu stared at me, she was speechless, and at this time, this was a very normal performance. Because no one can accept that a father who has lived together for more than 20 years has lost his blood relationship between the words of others. I know that in Yang Qu's mind, Yang Zonghuai has an irreplaceable position, at least Jiang Jiyou can't replace it.

In her pained and overwhelmed face, I said to her again: "I know that you can't accept this fact for a while, but I still hope that you can approach this matter with understanding...... At the beginning, when I heard my mother talk about this matter, I was like you, I couldn't accept it, but gradually I chose to let go...... I'm even glad that there is no last psychological barrier between me and you, and we are real brothers and sisters...... That's why I hope even more that we can stand together and be our mother's strongest backing, instead of indulging in the pain that should belong to them and have no way to extricate ourselves. ”

Yang Qu couldn't calm her emotions at all, she squatted on the ground, then held her head and cried bitterly......

I didn't bother her anymore, because I knew that at this time, what she needed most was self-space, and then slowly digest the impact of this matter, and the results were nothing more than two, but I believe that she would choose to face it strongly, rather than sinking negatively.

……

After another moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, and then Xiao Ai appeared in front of me and Yang Qu with his handbag. Yang Qu turned a blind eye to her return, still indulging in her emotions and couldn't come back to her senses...... Xiao Ai looked at me inexplicably.

Just as I was about to explain, Yang Qu suddenly stood up, then took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed out another call. I don't have to think about it, I know that she called Yang Zonghuai, but she still doesn't want to accept this fact from the bottom of her heart.

At the same time, I am not sure whether Yang Zonghuai will continue to hide from her, or choose to respect her right to know, and the difference between the two is also very big. Because it can be seen whether he really cares about Yang Qu, the adopted daughter, if he cares, he may not admit it so easily. Even if he admits it, he shouldn't say a lot of what Yang Jin did back then, he should maintain Yang Jin's mother image in Yang Qu's mind, because he hates Yang Jin, and it is Yang Qu himself who is hurt the most, as a "father" who has raised Yang Qu for more than 20 years, how can he bear to watch Yang Qu hurt more and more? Moreover, it was not Yang Jin's choice back then, he was also a direct participant and benefited from this incident, so from this level, he should not fall into the ground!
