Shan Lao was asked by Ji Xinyao's words, stood by the bedside, and kept looking at her like this.

Ji Xinyao raised her eyebrows faintly and chuckled: "Or, is there something in this person's hand that makes you feel very important?" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Shan Laojiong's bright eyes burst out a little fiercely: "So, you really recognize her?" Wake up"

Shan Lao's tone and expression, and so concerned, I just took advantage of the chatting curiosity to ask a few more words, and made a few more analogies, not to mention, even if I knew each other, what could I do? What if you don't know? It's just that I don't understand, if Shan Lao really wants to find this person, why bother waiting for more than 20 years, haven't you thought that 20 years may be able to change too many things, maybe the person you want to find is already dead, maybe it's okay? 弼"

When Ji Xinyao said this, the smile in her eyes made people think she was joking, but what she said was a fact.

Shan Xiaoou is dead, what's the use of you Shan Heping coming to search for her whereabouts now, no matter what kind of relationship she has with him, it's already too late, so why should she tell these facts, as for the relationship between Shan Lao's status and Shan Ying, she Ji Xinyao doesn't want to have anything to do with the Shan family.

Shan Lao twisted his eyebrows, and he just looked at her all the time, as if he wanted to find a flaw in Ji Xinyao's expression, but her smile was too quiet and calm, so that people couldn't see what kind of thoughts she had at all.

Seeing him squinting and looking at himself, Ji Xinyao raised his eyebrows slightly: "Shan Lao? ”

Shan Lao paused, and gradually retracted his gaze, which had been staring at her, but seemed to be a little hesitant: "Miss Ji, I heard that you have been growing up in Mayor Y since you were a child, no matter whether the Ji family loves you or not, but after all, you were from Y City." ”

He hesitated again, as if he didn't want to tell too much of the secret to a girl he couldn't trust, but in recent days, he has become more and more convinced of her background, combined with some of her past he had checked, and from all aspects, there must be something deliberately concealed in it.

Ji Xinyao didn't say anything, just lowered her head and rummaged through the magazine in her hand casually, but she no longer looked at any of the words in it.

At this time, Shan Lao turned around and walked to the door of the ward, opened the door and looked out, and then came back and closed the door of the ward tightly, Ji Xinyao raised his eyes and looked at his move, and subconsciously frowned faintly.

Xiaoyu was playing with the doll in his hand, and from time to time he happily called "Grandpa!" But all his thoughts were on the doll, Shan Lao stopped by the door, walked back in a moment, looked at Ji Xinyao's face and her calm expression, and smiled faintly: "Miss Ji is so calm and relaxed, but she really has a bit of the demeanor of my single family." ”

He went straight with a single knife, his eyes were bright, although he was not wearing a military uniform, but he was just an ordinary casual dress suitable for the elderly to wear, and he could wear a military spirit, Shan Lao and Old Man Gu are the same people who are not angry and self-authoritative, although they are old, but standing by the bedside, they are quite straight and very energetic.

"Miss Ji has been involved in government affairs reporting, I'm afraid that before I return to China, you have already taken some of the situation of my single family into charge." He said.

Ji Xinyao hooked her lips: "You have returned to China for the first time in more than 20 years, and of course some information needs to be familiar with the domestic government affairs media, so as to avoid any mistakes in communication." ”

"Do you know I only have one son who died young? And the only granddaughter who is now under the order? ”

"Yes."

Although Ji Xinyao knew, she hesitated.

Shan Lao turned around, walked to the window not far from her bed, faced the window, looked out of the window, and was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "I am suspicious by nature, and when I was young, I was extremely cautious and cautious. ”

"My wife gave birth to two children for me, and the eldest son, Shan Hongzhang, was Shan Ying's father, but unfortunately he died of illness when Shan Ying was still very young. And the other child ......" His tone stopped, and then he sighed lightly: "It's a daughter, but the time when my wife was pregnant with this daughter was the month when I went abroad on business, at that time my wife had a good relationship with an officer in our army, and it was found that they were having dinner together one night, and the news reached me at that time, and after I went back on business, my wife became pregnant, and the doctor said that she was pregnant in the month when I was away." ”

Ji Xinyao frowned when she heard this, looking at Shan Lao's straight figure.

"I was already suspicious, and this matter spread all over the city in the military area, I was furious when I went back, knowing that my wife was pregnant, but I still shot her, maybe I was still young at that time, my mentality was different, I was easy to get angry when I encountered something, and I hated this woman who dared to betray me, and I couldn't accept that my wife who had shared the bed with me for so many years had an affair with another man like this, she didn't explain a word at that time, but when I beat her, she kept staring at me with tears. I was so angry that I didn't bother until she was bleeding from the bottom, and then I regained some of my senses, and when I saw her lying there, I rushed her to the hospital, and then the doctor said that the child had been beaten by me, and she was very weak, and she refused to see me. I was still angry at that time, and I couldn't think about it calmly, so I reported directly to the military region, signed a divorce, and no longer cared about her life or death. This is the greatest shame I have ever felt in my life, and I don't want to mention it to anyone. ”

"I also claimed to the public that I only had one son, because I had been busy with business for many years, and I didn't have the heart to coax those troublesome women, so I didn't remarry after the divorce, and that matter was also sealed in the past by me, and I never mentioned it."

Shan Lao suddenly let out a long sigh, as if all the strength of his body was drained in an instant: "Twenty-five or six years ago, I was physically and mentally exhausted by some too difficult and difficult cases, and it was in that year that my son died of illness, I resigned and went abroad, and I no longer asked about political affairs, and concentrated on raising Shan Ying, and since then, all my thoughts have only been on Shan Ying, a precious granddaughter. ”

"Later, about ten years ago, I met the former doctor in a Chinese hospital in the United States, after all, I used to be a national leader, and the Chinese at home and abroad knew it, and the doctor recognized me at a glance, and he told me that my wife was still in the hospital when she was admitted to the hospital that year, but my wife was too weak and kept recuperating in the hospital, and finally survived until eight months later and gave birth to a daughter, but she died of dystocia."

"The doctor told me that because medicine in China was not developed at that time, and my wife's physical condition was special, so the guide misdiagnosed her, and she was two months pregnant at that time, not a month."

Speaking of this, Shan Lao raised his hand, rubbed his eyebrows, and said tiredly: "Since then, I have paid the price for my suspicion, but I have never been able to find the whereabouts of our daughter who she gave birth to desperately. ”

"The doctor told me that on the day my wife gave birth to her daughter, she called some of her friends and entrusted them to the care of one of the young women, and I knew that most of her friends were from prominent families, so they went to investigate the truth after learning the truth, but unfortunately they only learned the truth ten years ago, and it was too late, and the whereabouts of those people could not be found, and most of them went abroad."

"And the power of the Shan family in the United States can't stretch their hands too long after all, so in the first few years, the matter of finding my daughter has always been the biggest thing in my mind, I want to find her, atone for the mistakes I have made, and make up for the harm and shadow caused to her mother and her, but those people hid her too deeply, and I only learned that her name is Shan Xiaoou later."

"It was five or six years ago, when Xiaoou's adoptive mother finally showed up, and I learned the name of the child and what happened after birth. Her adoptive mother used to be a famous family in China, the family moved to the United States, and brought Xiao Ou with her, so that Xiao Ou received a Western education in the United States since she was a child, I heard that she had studied oil painting, and the painting was very good, but unfortunately, when I knew this qiē, Xiao Ou's adoptive mother could not find her trace, they fell in the middle of the family when Xiao Ou was sixteen years old, and when she returned to China for the last time to visit relatives, Xiao Ou and they got lost, and then they could not find her again. ”

Shan Lao took out the old photo from his arms, and on it was Shan Xiaoou's appearance as a teenager, young and lively, with a smile on his face.

"They said that my daughter, who had known her surname since she was a child, knew her background and what happened to her mother when she was pregnant with her, but she never said that she wanted to come to me as a father. I know that this child hates me and does not want to see me or recognize me, but I want to make it up to her, but when I know this qiē, it is too late......"

"I thought that this child would never see me in his life, I always have this pimple in my heart, if I can't see this daughter in this life, I can't do anything for her, I'm afraid I won't die blind."

"Xiao Ou's adoptive mother said that Xiao Ou's character is very stubborn, very smart, he learns everything quickly, and he has the bravery and bearing of a boy in his bones, and he looks like a hedgehog when he is provoked. But there are also many kind sides in her character, and when she is gentle, it hurts to the bone, but she knows her life experience, but she refuses to see me as a father for decades......"

Shan Lao suddenly turned around and glanced at Ji Xinyao, who looked stunned: "Miss Ji, you are really too similar to her." ”

Ji Xinyao opened her mouth, but she couldn't make a sound for a while, and a big hole seemed to be empty in her heart in an instant.

She always knew that her mother's background may be unusual, and she knew that her mother was a person with a story, but she never thought it was such an intricate story.

Shan Lao continued: "Because you are your Ji Qiuhang's daughter, I have a bit of an old friendship with Chief of Staff Ji, he is a junior, and he is respectful to me, I once found an opportunity to let her reveal something about your mother, but he didn't say a word, including He Manni, the wife of Chief of Staff Ji, and also never mentioned your mother's affairs, after all, this is your Ji family's own private matter, although I want to inquire, but there is no reason to be too forced." ”

"I only have a few photos of Xiaoou here, I look at these photos a few times a day, I didn't pay attention to it at first, or the last time in Gu Zhai, when Shan Ying's wrist was pinched, you stood very close to me, I took a closer look at your facial features, you look very similar to my daughter, maybe I was a little confused at first, I wanted to ask Miss Ji about some things, but Miss Ji, your avoidance of talking made me very annoyed, plus the matter of Shan Ying and Nancy, so I don't like you more and more."

Ji Xinyao smiled coldly: "Old Shan, you are in a high position, a small citizen like me with no identity and no status should be content if you can look at it a few times, how dare you like it?" ”

Hearing the sarcasm in her words, Shan Lao frowned at first, and then walked back to the bed, looking at her thoughtful expression with her head lowered, he squinted, as if he was more sure of who she was.

"You're Xiao Ou's daughter?" He asked, not in question, but in an affirmative tone.

He wouldn't have said so much to her if it weren't for the affirmation.

And at this time, if Ji Xinyao doesn't tell the truth, she must confront Shan Lao, just like this, she listened to the secret he has hidden for more than forty years in vain, can he still let her go?

But on the contrary, even if she was in a turbulent mood at the moment, although she thought that she and Shan Lao might have some relationship, she didn't expect it to be such a close relationship, her lips squirmed a few times, and then she pursed her lips tightly and did not speak.

She felt that she was suddenly a little confused, if her mother always knew her life experience, why didn't she show her life experience when she was down, or even when Ji Qiuhang abandoned her because she disliked her unknown background and could not bring benefits? Didn't use the identity of this ruthless father to give himself a chance to be happy?

Since it is not due to the pressure of life, since it is clear that things can take a turn for the better, why commit suicide? And why forge that fake crystal necklace? What exactly is she going to do......

"You don't want to say it now, I won't force you." Seeing that she was silent, Shan Lao looked at her for a while before he said lightly: "I can give you time, it's just Miss Ji...... If you are really my granddaughter, I hope we can get along in a different way and with a different attitude, once I only had a single lingering under my knees, she is my heart, because she is the only blood of my single family, but if you are my granddaughter, I ......"

"Shan Lao, I'm sorry, I was smashed on the head a few days ago, maybe I really left some sequelae, and now my head hurts, can I trouble you and help me call a doctor?" Ji Xinyao's face was stiff, her tone was flat, and she was still detached and polite.

Shan Lao was stunned for a moment, and saw that her face was indeed a little pale, so he turned around and went out directly to call the doctor.

*****************************************************************************************************

Half an hour later --

Gu Nancy rushed to the hospital, and as soon as she entered the ward, she saw Ji Xinyao sitting alone on the bed curled up in a ball, looking out the window, motionless.

"Xin Yao?" He walked over and reached out to hold her shoulder, his eyes full of concern: "I listened to the report from the Audit Bureau, and I rushed over after receiving a call from the doctor, how are you?" Still have a headache? Do you need me to take you to check it out? ”

Ji Xinyao's eyes were a little straight, until she felt his warm hand grasp her arm and take her into her arms, she didn't dodge, she didn't resist, and she didn't have the intention of playing around on weekdays, just obediently leaned on his arms and buried her face in his chest silently.

Seeing that she was suddenly obedient like a weak and helpless kitten, Gu Nancy was stunned, lowered her head to look at her, and asked softly with a low smile: "What's wrong?" ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and was about to put it on her shoulder, but his hand suddenly froze in mid-air, and he looked down at her who was quiet in his arms without making a sound at all, but he felt that his chest was wet.

Ji Xinyao didn't speak, she didn't move, she didn't want to disturb Gu Nancy, but the doctor actually called him after she had just said that she had a headache and was examined, she didn't know what she should say or what she should do now.

But when he was close to her, she subconsciously just wanted to lean into his arms, just wanted to hide in his arms, she wanted to be quiet......

"Xin Yao." Gu Nancy's voice was gentle and patient, he put down his hand, put it on her shoulder, and hugged her hard, as if giving her strength invisibly, just called her name softly, but didn't say too much, he quietly hugged her and accompanied her.

It wasn't until she cried for a while, and it was almost time to vent, that he put his arm on her shoulders and made her sit up, looked at her with calm eyes, and said gently, "What happened?" Sue me, don't let me worry. ”
