Chapter 172: The Past of My Parents
In the capital, Shi Xitong was in the villa of the East Fourth Ring Road, and he looked at a copy of the text. Putting Wen JiΓ n back into the file bag, Shi Xitong leaned back on the sofa.
The two appraisals that were newly hired were the same as the results given by the private detective in Bingcheng last time, Shi Lei is his son, don't think about it, it must be his and Ye Siyu's son.
Siyu, you were pregnant back then, why didn't you sue me? If you sue me, we will not be separated, you will not die of illness, and your son will not be an orphan for so many years.
If I could have persevered a little longer, maybe we wouldn't have separated, and if I had cared more about you, I would have found out that you were pregnant with our child, and we wouldn't have separated.
But this qiΔ is gone, and I can never go back to the past. Fortunately, I found our child, who is fine now. I will confess him and sue him, I am his father. But I can't bring him into the family, so it doesn't just affect me, he is an illegitimate child, and there will be no good life at home.
At most, the family could give him some money as compensation, but they wanted him to always bear the name of an illegitimate child. I can also give him money, and I can also help him in his career, so don't let him wade into the family water anymore.
"Jianhui, book a ticket, tomorrow, no, this afternoon, I'm going to Bingcheng, I want to see Shi Lei."
Kang Jianhui immediately went to call to book tickets, although he wanted to persuade the boss that this son had better investigate again and then decide whether to recognize each other. If Shi Lei is not like this on the surface, but secretly has a very poor character, then recognizing him is a big disaster for the boss, it is better to secretly fund him, or give him money, or introduce more customers.
But he saw the boss's eyes just now, the kind of eyes that had already been decided and would never change. The boss is sometimes too stubborn, otherwise why is Shi Xifeng already the CEO of the American branch, and the boss is only the CEO of the North Asia Pacific Branch, and the difference between the management area and assets is more than doubled?
"Mr. Shi? How did you remember to call me? Shi Lei was a little surprised, the company has nothing to do with Asia-Pacific International, why did Shi Xitong call him? Could it be that Shi Xitong has already checked the results and wants to come to confess to himself?
"Shi Lei, I'm in Bingcheng now, Shangri-La Hotel, are you free at night, can you come here to have a meal with me?"
Shi Xitong's words were almost a request, which made Shi Lei a little unable to refuse. He had already made an appointment with Fang Xuan, after dinner, and by the way, he could watch a movie, Shi Lei had even asked someone to help, and he would definitely be able to hug Shang Xuan today.
"Fang Xuan, that."
"Shi Lei, are you off work, I'll go out."
"No, wait a minute. I have a client here, a big client who lives in Shangri-La, and I'm going to accompany the client, so I may not be able to dine with you tonight, I'll send you the movie ticket, you can find a friend to see it. β
"Forget it, didn't the movie ticket be booked online, you can refund it directly."
Fang Xuan sat on the sofa with an unhappy face: "Grandma, take me a portion of dinner." β
"What's the matter, didn't you make an appointment to go out to dinner and watch a movie?"
"He said that he wanted to accompany the client, what did he do earlier, why didn't he plan it when he asked me out? Work, see customers, how can there be so many customers? Can't you see each other during the day? Fang Xuan slammed the pillow on the sofa hard.
Fang Wenjiang looked at Fang Xuan sternly: "If you don't work hard for your career now, when will you struggle?" After you get married? When will you bring him home and meet us? β
"Grandpa, what's the hurry, we haven't gotten a word here, wait for us to date for a while."
Shi Lei drove to the Shangri-La Hotel, and at a table in the corner, Shi Xitong and his assistant were sitting.
"Mr. Shi Lei is here, please take a seat."
"Thank you." Shi Lei nodded to Kang Jianhui slightly, and then looked at Shi Xitong again: "I don't know if Mr. Shi came to me, what's the important matter?" β
"Sit down and eat first. I ordered a few signature dishes, take a look at them, what else do you want to eat? β
"Mr. Shi, I'm not here to eat, you didn't come to me to invite me to dinner, right?" Shi Lei blocked the menu handed over by Shi Xitong with his hand, and said lightly.
Shi Xitong hesitated, he was afraid that if he said it, Shi Lei would leave immediately, and his wish to have a meal with Shi Lei would be disappointed. But now Shi Lei is obviously a little impatient, maybe he doesn't say it, Shi Lei will leave now.
"Shi Lei, let me tell you a story, a story about myself."
"That was 25 years ago, it was the first time I came to the mainland, and I am from Hong Kong. At that time, I was here to travel, I had just graduated from university, and I planned to start from the northernmost part of my motherland and see all the beautiful rivers and mountains of my motherland. The first stop was Longjiang, on the riverside, I met a beautiful girl, also just graduated from college, the same travel, we talked very well. β
"Our values and outlook on life are very similar, so the more we talk, the more speculative we became, and after three days by the river, we fell in love, and at that time I thought that this girl was the woman I was going to find in my life. So I confessed to her, hoping that she could be my girlfriend and my future wife. β
"She agreed, and I know that she is an orphan whose parents died three years ago, and she has no other relatives to connect with. We started our trip south together, and when we were in Ice City, we stayed together because there were not enough hotel rooms at the time. That was our first time. β
"A month later, we traveled all the way to the capital. At that time, she was very frugal and didn't let me spend money indiscriminately. And I didn't tell her, in fact, my family is very rich. β
"When I was in the capital, my father happened to be negotiating a business, and I took her to meet my father to get my father's permission so that I could marry her. But my father came to the capital to give me a marriage appointment, and when he knew about it, he was furious, and this was the first time my father slapped me. β
"I fell out with my family and asked her to go with me, and we used our hands to fight for our happy life. But she knew that my family was a big family, and if I eloped with her, it would be equivalent to giving up a lot of money. And I talked to her a lot about my ideals, which all need money to achieve. β
"She was gone, and left me a letter telling me that I had forgotten her, and that it was a beautiful dream. She told me to be filial to my elders, and that a marriage without the blessing of my parents would not be happy. She told sΓΉ that I want to fulfill my dreams and fulfill her dreams. β
Shi Xitong took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. Shi Lei could see that Shi Xitong's heart was still thinking about that woman.
"Later, I obeyed the family's arrangement, married my current wife, and had a son. With the help of my family, I got to where I am today. Most of her original ideals have been realized, and I have helped realize most of her ideals. β
"I went to look for her, but her house in her hometown had long since been sold, and no one knew where she had gone. I went to her school and found her assigned job, but she didn't report and disappeared. I searched for a lot of people to find her, but I couldn't find her. β
"Later, I had the opportunity to work abroad, to be able to control a bigger company, a bigger market. But I refused, I didn't want to leave here. I was always trying to get on the newspapers and TV, hoping that she would see me and come back to me. Actually, I also thought about how I should settle her, I am already married, and she comes back to me. But I just can't help but miss her, and I want to meet her, even if she is married and has a happy family. β
"My current wife is also very nice and treats me very well. Knowledgeable, good in the hall, into the kitchen, our son is not bad, although not an outstanding character, but also a little stubborn, but also filial piety to his parents, do not do anything evil. But I've always wanted to find her, and it's become an obsession in my heart. β
"When I finally found her, I learned that she had died of a sudden illness the year after she left me. Even if she had no relatives, the ashes were collected by the director of an orphanage at the time, and they have been placed in the cemetery ever since. After I found out, I bought her a cemetery so that she could be buried in the ground. β
"Originally, I thought that this qiΔ was over, and I only had one nostalgia for her. But then, by chance, I came to Ice City on a business trip and met a young man who looked very good. At that time, I vaguely saw her shadow on his face. By the urge of alcohol, I said that I would take him as my godson, but he rejected me at that time. β
Although Shi Lei already knew this, his face was still a little moved.
Shi Xitong continued: "Later, I saw from him the jade pendant I gave her back then, which I used as a token of love to give her, and at that time, she gave me a photo in return, which has been in my wallet and has been renovated several times. β
"I went to find someone to investigate this young man, and that man sued me, this young man, my son. I had some difficulty accepting that if she was pregnant, why didn't she sue me? I longed to recognize this son, but I was afraid that this qiΔ was all fake. I looked into it again, and the result was the same, and now I can confirm that he is my son. β
"So, I'm here today to call you over. I just want to sue you, that young man is you, the woman I am talking about, called Ye Siyu, is your mother, and I am your father. Child, I'm Shi Xitong, it's your father......"
Shi Xitong's hands trembled, wanting to touch Shi Lei's cheeks.
I don't know when, Shi Lei, who was obviously mentally prepared, also had tears on his face. Seeing Shi Xitong's outstretched hands, Shi Lei opened them vigorously.
"I'm not your son!" I saw it and felt it slightly
