Chapter 105: The cousin and brother have another secret
A few days later, Xia Minglan received a thick letter, written by Cheng Liren. Xia Minglan thought, what kind of fame, if you have something to say to your face, why beat around the bush?
Xia Minglan opened the envelope, and the first thing she saw was a divorce agreement, which had Cheng Liren's signature on it, and he finally agreed to the divorce, Xia Minglan was relieved. At the same time, I felt strange: Cheng Liren had long threatened to drag her for three or five years, what prompted him to suddenly change his mind and show kindness? Then he thought again, no matter what kind of heart he has, it would be thankful that he could end this nightmare as soon as possible, Xia Minglan s face showed a smile.
Suddenly, her smile vanished, her facial expression stiffened, her eyes straightened, and her hand holding the letter trembled, unable to help herself. She leaned back in her office chair and stared up at the snow-white ceiling, dazed.
After a long time, Xia Minglan came back to her senses and called Hong Zhendong, asking him to come over quickly. Hong Zhendong said on the phone, what is so urgent? I happen to have an urgent matter at hand, can I wait a while? Xia Minglan was weak and said, then you are busy.
Hong Zhendong heard that her tone was wrong, and hurriedly asked what was wrong, was she sick? But the other party has already hung up the phone.
Hong Zhendong really has something to do, he is discussing marriage with Wu Yuehua and arranging a new house.
A few days ago, his father went back to Sanjiang for vacation, Hong Zhendong took Wu Yuehua to see his father, Hong Zhongda was very satisfied, and he also specially talked to Tan Youren who was far away in the coal capital for more than an hour, and the two sides talked very harmoniously. After consultation, it was decided that during Hong Zhongda's three-month vacation, the marriage of Hong Zhendong and Wu Yuehua would be handled.
Yesterday, Hong Zhendong and Wu Yuehua went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register and receive a marriage certificate. The person who did the work knew Hong Zhendong and said with a smile: "Your machine tool company has done its best to produce some handsome men and women, and two days ago your two factory flowers also came to register their marriage." is full of talented women, which is really enviable! ”
Only then did Hong Zhendong know that Master Qiao and He Bingbing, as well as Zhou Guoliang and Yu Xiaoying, were also natural, and the smile on his face disappeared suddenly.
Wu Yuehua saw that his face suddenly became unhappy, and he was puzzled. She already felt that all this was like a dream, and happiness came too quickly. A few months ago, she was still in the mountains and was about to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff with Genwa, and it was Li Delin who pulled them back to the world. Then with the help of Hong Zhendong, he found his long-lost cousin. Now she has become the daughter-in-law of the Hong family. And her fate with Hong Zhendong began with a chance encounter ten years ago! Wu Yuehua subconsciously pinched her thigh, and she did feel pain: All this is true!
At this moment, Hong Zhendong suddenly received a call from Xia Minglan. I vaguely felt that something was wrong, and it seemed that something was wrong. After he and Wu Yuehua received the marriage certificate, they sent her home, and then hurried to see Xia Minglan.
Hong Zhendong saw Xia Minglan's eyes slightly red. There were faint tears. He was surprised, "What's wrong with my cousin." What happened? ”
Xia Minglan motioned to him, and Hong Zhendong picked up the letter suspiciously. After a while, his face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "How can this be? Is it true or false? ”
Hong Zhendong and Xia Minglan looked at each other and were dumbfounded: while Cheng Liren signed the divorce agreement, he clearly told Xia Minglan that Hong Zhendong was not Hong Zhongda's biological son, but Hong Zhongda's adopted son more than 20 years ago. The letter was accompanied by a copy of the "adoption certificate" stamped with the police station's seal, which clearly stated: Hong Zhendong grew up in an orphanage, and his parents died in the famine. Mr. and Mrs. Hung Chung Tat were infertile. Special adoption of the boy to inherit the Hong family incense.
The evidence is ironclad in black and white: Xia Minglan and Hong Zhendong, a pair of childhood sweethearts, are not cousins and brothers, but lovers who are not related by blood. However, the parents of both sides want to beat the mandarin ducks on the grounds that their cousins cannot get married, so that they will hold a grudge for life!
At this moment, all kinds of joys that have been intimate with Xia Minglan for more than 20 years and the scenes of hugging and crying because of the parents' obstruction and having to break up appeared in front of Hong Zhendong's eyes one by one, followed by Wu Yuehua's flowery smile and her Yingying smile.
Hong Zhendong wanted to cry without tears, his eyes stared at Xia Minglan directly, speechless.
Xia Minglan slowly put away the letter, looked at Hong Zhendong's pale face and sighed: "'The autumn wind on the river is infinitely waves, and the spring dream in the pillow is not long. 'Creation makes people, creation makes people! ”
Hong Zhendong stood up and shouted, "What are you doing? For what? What grievances and grievances are there between the previous generations? No, I'm not reconciled, I'm going to make it clear! ”
Xia Minglan said quietly: "At this point, is there still a need to pursue it?" It has become clear that the relationship between our Xia Hong family was very harmonious, do you remember, the elders have said many times that we are a natural pair, and we want to kiss each other. It was only after the martial arts fight that year that the two families did not communicate with each other. The old generation has made grudges and left a lot of lifelong regrets for the younger generations, which cannot be eliminated in ten or eight years. witnessed the joys and sorrows of Zhou Guoliang and Yu Xiaoying, and the bad luck fell on the two of us again, who can guarantee that Ge Chunsheng and Jia Wenwen are not the same victims?
Let's be a little confused, the scars of history have not yet healed, Cheng Liren pierced the truth at this juncture, his intention is to press the resentment of history on us, can we afford it? Besides, you still have to be responsible for Wu Yuehua, don't let her know the truth about this matter, don't let her heart be clouded again! ”
Hong Zhendong was deflated all of a sudden, and leaned back on the chair softly. After a long time, he raised his head and muttered to himself: "What have I done in the past ten years?" And what did you get? Is it that he is too addicted to power and enjoys the momentum of the whole person when he raids the landlords and capitalists? Or did he satisfy his vanity and revel in the pleasure of being the commander-in-chief of the Red Banner Corps and commanding him at a glance? Now all this has become an ethereal cloud of smoke, and in the end there is nothing. The peach blossoms are still smiling at the east wind, and the human face is already dirty. The danger lurks unconsciously, and he still sings shocking songs. 'I buried my precious youth with unforgettable love! ”
Xia Minglan was sad. "A lifetime of one generation and one pair, fighting for two ecstasy. Lovesick and not blind date, who is the spring for the sky? "Isn't the lament of the Qing man Nalan Xingde a true portrayal of their heartbreak?
Xia Minglan understood that the cousin in front of her, who had risen to prominence in Sanjiang, was struggling with painful emotional entanglements. Like his like-minded classmates back then, he is doing his best to get rid of long-term confusion and hesitation, and is ready to follow the trend of the era of reform and opening up, and seek his own happy life with high spirits. It's a pity that the fate is ill-fated, and the sudden "adopted son" incident once again dealt him a heavy mental blow!
Xia Minglan knows very well that she and Hong Zhendong, who have been with her for many years, are no longer the cousins and brothers who swore not to marry you or not to marry, even if they finally understand that it was a historical misunderstanding that broke them up, it is impossible to return to the origin of life: Hong Zhendong has his own "heart" and must assume his responsibility; And she also has to "scrape the bones to heal the wounds": we must eliminate the negative impact of the fire in the Xilin Machinery Factory as soon as possible, lose no time in taking advantage of the trend, lead the workers to eliminate the shortcomings of state-owned enterprises, and create a thriving new road.
All of this was the price she paid for the arrogant actions of her, him, and thousands of her peers in that frenzy era. This kind of price that has to be paid is too great, after all, it is the happiness of her life! Xia Minglan was depressed and melancholy, but what was the use? Who can I talk to?
At this moment, He Bingbing knocked on the door with a smile and came in, and Xia Minglan remembered that she had made an appointment to help her choose a wedding dress. At this moment, it was past the time to get off work, Xia Minglan endured the sadness, and walked to the street with He Bingbing.
Xia Minglan saw that her face was crimson and her face was radiant, and she teased: "Look at your elated appearance, you have written the word 'happiness' on your face!" Oh, I was wrong, it should be the words 'get carried away'! ”
He Bingbing smiled and said: "Your good days are almost here, you have finally got rid of the shackles of the wicked and become a free and happy bachelor." Think about it, the CEO of one of the top companies in Sanjiang City, and a young beauty, it's time to line up in a long line, hurry up and pick, and we'll have a wedding together. ”
Xia Minglan also smiled. "It's not that easy, is it possible to 'pick up the basket is the dish'? A good man was picked away by you, what hope do I have for this broken flower? You really don't have a backache when you stand and talk, it's all cool talk! ”
He Bingbing laughed, and suddenly heard an exclamation on the side of the road, she turned her face and glanced at it, only to see a car behind her speeding towards them, she instinctively pulled Xia Minglan to her side, and the black car passed by Xia Minglan with a huff.
At this moment, Xia Minglan caught a glimpse of Cheng Liren sitting in the cab! (To be continued......)
