Chapter 570: A Conversation Between the Two Secretaries
After weighing it for a long time, Secretary Lu finally made a decision that he didn't dare to think of: after Secretary Li Runji came, he had to tell him openly and honestly: Ye Ming is his biological son, and the child in the belly of the girl surnamed Chen is the only grandson of the old man who is nearly sixty years old, and the only third-generation blood of the Lu family since he counts, so no matter what difficulties and problems there are at present, this child must be born and raised by him…… After making this determination, Secretary Lu gradually calmed down and sat quietly on the swivel chair, waiting for Li Runji to arrive.
About twenty minutes later, Li Runji knocked on the door outside and shouted "Secretary Lu".
Xu Lizhong, who had been staying in the office next door, heard the movement of the secretary's office, immediately came out of his office, invited Secretary Li in, and then lightly made tea for him, filled Secretary Lu's cup with water, and turned around and left with interest.
In order to show respect for Secretary Li, after he came in, Secretary Lu quickly stood up from behind the desk, took his hand, and the two of them sat together on the couch in the west, talking to Secretary Li in an equal posture.
"Comrade Runji, I came to you today for a private matter, this matter is related to Ye Ming, and it is also related to an extremely private experience when I was young, so I hope to have an open and honest conversation with you, and I hope to get your understanding and support."
Secretary Lu got straight to the point, first of all, he pointed out the purpose of tonight's conversation.
Although Secretary Li guessed that the content of Secretary Lu's conversation tonight was likely to have something to do with Ye Ming, when Secretary Lu said "It is also related to an extremely private experience when I was young", he was still taken aback: Secretary Lu's private experience, this private experience is also related to Ye Ming, which is also too unbelievable.
Seeing that his eyes widened suddenly, Secretary Lu showed an incredible expression, so he got up and picked up a soft-leather notebook that had been placed on the desk a long time ago, took out the farewell letter that Zhao Han had left for him from the title page, and the photo of Zhao Han when he was young, handed it to Secretary Li together, and said in a very solemn tone: "Comrade Runji, you can probably understand what I want to tell you about this letter by looking at my photo first." ”
Secretary Li took the letter and the photo suspiciously, first held up the photo, looked at it carefully, and once again showed a look of surprise on his face: the young woman in the photo, the facial features, demeanor and smile on her face are too similar to Ye Ming, almost like a mold carved out, but, because of other differences, this girl's facial features are slightly more jīng and softer than Ye Ming's, and the expression on her face is more kind and gentle than Ye Ming's...... Secretary Lu had been observing the expression on Secretary Li's face, and seeing that he was as he expected, he showed a look of great surprise, so he deliberately reminded him before reading the letter: "Comrade Runji, you should be able to see that this is an old photo from more than 20 years ago, and the woman in the photo, surnamed Zhao and Minghan, was a student of mine when she was studying in the Chinese Department of Capital University, and she was Ye Ming's mother. ”
As soon as these words came out, Secretary Li was so shocked that his hands shook, and the photos in his hands almost fell to the ground, at this time, he had vaguely guessed what was going on: Secretary Lu invited himself tonight, it turned out to tell him a big secret that had been hidden for many years, no wonder as soon as he came in, he said those inexplicable words to himself so solemnly.
Thinking of this, he quickly steadied himself, picked up the letter again, and read the contents of it word by word.
When I read the last sentence of "Dear Yuan, farewell, love you forever." At that time, Secretary Li, who usually rarely had any stirring emotions in the relationship between men and women, couldn't help but be a little moved, raised his head and glanced at Secretary Lu, and already understood what was going on.
It's just that he still has a question in his heart, so he asked softly: "Secretary Lu, I want to take the liberty of asking you a question: Is Ye Ming the child of you and this Ms. Zhao Han, or was she born of a marriage to someone else after separating from you." ”
Secretary Lu showed a sad look on his face, shook his head and said: "Runji, after Zhao Han and I separated, they never married again, but hid in a remote mountain village in Xinleng County, gave birth to me and her child, and raised him alone, but, just a few years ago, she died of liver cancer at the age of forty-four, so there is no doubt that Ye Ming is my biological son." ”
Although Secretary Li already knew that Ye Ming was an orphan now, and that his mother had died a few years ago, when he heard Secretary Lu say in a sad tone that Zhao Han had died of liver cancer a few years ago, he still subconsciously said "ah", and his tone was full of sympathy and regret.
Secretary Lu was already immersed in infinite sorrow for Zhao Han at this time, and he didn't care to look at Secretary Li's expression, and continued: "For more than 20 years, Zhao Han has been in order to fulfill me, in order not to cause me trouble, although she knows that I am in the capital, and she also knows that I have been constantly promoted, but she has never thought of looking for me, and she has never thought of asking me to take part of the responsibility, she is such a kind person, a strong person, sacrificed the happiness of her life for me, But he never wanted me to reciprocate, and repeatedly told our son not to hate me, and not to try to look for me, so as not to cause me unnecessary trouble...... Runji, every time I think of her kindness and selflessness, every time I think of her sacrifice and dedication, I feel full of regret and shame. ”
Speaking of this, Secretary Lu finally couldn't control it anymore, tears rolled down from his eyes, and his voice began to be hoarse and choked...... Although Secretary Li's heart is as hard as iron, he is rarely moved by this kind of children's affection, but after hearing the sad story told by Secretary Lu, he also felt sour, and tears unconsciously appeared in the corners of his eyes.
After a long time, he comforted in a painful tone: "Secretary Lu, you mourn, from your account, that Ms. Zhao Han is not only loyal and unrepentant in her feelings, very far-sighted and advocated, but also has a strong heart and acts very decisively, she is a strange woman who is rarely seen in modern society, she can raise Ye Ming alone, and let him have the quality and ability he has now, it is indeed worthy of admiration and admiration, you don't have to blame yourself too much, after all, judging from this letter, this is a choice she made herself, It is the path she chose by herself, and you are also more than capable of it, I believe that she will never have the slightest resentment towards you under Jiuquan. ”
