Chapter 525: An Unbearable Past
"Mo Han, do you hate your mother very much?" Mrs. Zhou stood up and looked at Lin Mohan, a trace of mist rose under her eyes, and there seemed to be countless words in her eyes, wanting to say to Lin Mohan.
Lin Mohan smiled, "I'm sorry, I don't have a mother, my mother died when I was very young." ”
"Mo Han ......" Mrs. Zhou's face was full of indescribable loneliness.
"If you are really my mother, why did you leave me and my father when I was very young? Why didn't you come to us for so many years? ”
At this moment, the emotions that Lin Mohan had been holding in his heart for more than 20 years all burst out in an instant.
"You know what? Do you know how much I wanted to be loved by my mother when I was a child? I remember when I was in kindergarten, I always looked forward to the day when my mom would come and pick me up...... However, I was looking forward to graduating from kindergarten, but I didn't see my mother. ”
"Later, when I went to elementary school, junior high school, and high school, every time my classmates complained that my mother was very strict with them, I actually envied them in my heart. At the very least, they have their mothers in charge, what about me, where is my mother? Do you know, my father and I, how have we spent the past 20 years? If you're really my mom, why don't you come back and see me and my dad? ”
"Yanjing to Jiangcheng is only seven or eight hours away, can't you come back? Do you know how much my dad misses you? Last year, during the Chinese New Year, he proposed to go to Dongying to see the cherry blossoms, I didn't know why at the time, but later, I learned that it turned out that you told your father that you wanted to transplant the cherry blossoms of Dongying to Jiangcheng to plant...... My dad went to Dongying because he missed you......"
At the end, Lin Mohan burst into tears, hugged his shoulders, and cried profusely.
Xiao Yang took Lin Mohan in his arms distressedly, comforted her a few words, and then sat her on the sofa.
"Mo Han...... It's my mother who doesn't have the courage to come back and see you again......"
At this time, Mrs. Zhou also burst into tears.
At this time, Lin Zongnan, who had not spoken, suddenly sighed: "Mo Han, don't blame her anymore, all this ...... It's all caused by me. ”
"Dad, it's all this time, do you still want to help her speak?" Lin Mohan said coldly.
She knows how much Lin Zongnan loves this person, and she has been missing her all the time for more than 20 years.
How many people have persuaded Lin Zongnan to let him find another woman to marry, but he refused.
It seems that in his heart, he can only pretend to be this woman alone.
Lin Zongnan looked at Lin Mohan, suddenly sighed, and smiled sadly, "Mohan, today, I will tell you all this." ”
"Zongnan...... Don't say it......" Mrs. Zhou glanced at Lin Zongnan, her face pale.
"Why didn't I say it, I let Mo Han misunderstand you for more than twenty years, and I should have said it today."
Lin Zongnan smiled sadly, looked at Lin Mohan, and said, "Mohan, let me tell you, your mother, why did you leave me and you back then." ”
"Why?" Lin Mohan stared at Lin Zongnan and said coldly.
"She left us entirely for our Lin family!" Lin Zongnan gritted his teeth, and was finally ready to tell the secret that had been hidden in his heart for more than 20 years.
"For the Lin family? Dad, what the hell do you mean? Lin Mohan was a little confused.
Lin Zongnan walked to the window, looked out the window, and fell into memory: "That year, you just turned one year old, at that time, our Lin Group was in a period of rapid development, your grandfather was the president of the company, I served as the general manager of the company, and your mother was at home with her husband and children. At that time, although the Lin family was not as strong as it is now, our family had a very happy life. ”
"I thought that life would go on happily ever after, but in the winter of that year, something happened that changed the fate of our family. In December of that year, the global economic crisis broke out, and many companies and enterprises in China were severely affected. A few months after the economic crisis, Lin was completely unable to hold on, in debt, the company stopped functioning, and the wages of workers could not be paid. At that time, your grandfather and I, in order to raise funds for the Lin family, went to all the major banks in Jiangcheng for loans, but because of the economic crisis, none of them were willing to lend to us. If this continues, it won't take more than two months, and the Lin family will definitely go bankrupt. ”
"However, just when we thought that the Lin clan would be doomed, a person appeared, and we rekindled our hope."
When he said this, Lin Zongnan glanced at Mrs. Zhou, and his eyes were indescribably complicated.
"This person, named Zhou Bowen, is one of the six major families in Yanjing, the eldest son of the Zhou family. He and I, as well as your mother, were college classmates. ”
Hearing these three words of Zhou Bowen, Xiao Yang's heart moved, these three words, it seems that he has heard someone say it.
He suddenly remembered that at the Yanjing charity gala that night, it seemed that Hu Ming, the boss of China Entertainment Company, had mentioned it to him when he introduced the six major families in Yanjing. The current head of the Zhou family is this person named Zhou Bowen.
Lin Zongnan continued: "At that time, Zhou Bowen relied on the influence of the Zhou family to hold an important position in the Huaxia Finance Department, and he held real power. At that time, I didn't know where he got the latest situation of the Lin family, so he took the initiative to contact me and asked me to meet in Jiangcheng and Jiangcheng. However, I was a little surprised that when he asked me to meet, he didn't call your mother, and it stands to reason that everyone is in the same class, so we should meet together. Later, when I went to meet him, I realized why he was like this. ”
As he spoke, Lin Zongnan glanced at Mrs. Zhou again, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
"Later, after I went to meet Zhou Bowen, he proposed to me that the Ministry of Finance could allocate a special fund to support the enterprise to Lin's family, and this fund was enough for Lin's to come back to life. I was so happy that I thanked him. But what he said later went and poured out all my joy. ”
"Dad, what did he say?" Lin Mohan looked at Lin Zongnan and asked urgently.
Lin Zongnan smiled bitterly, "He said that the funds can be allocated to the Lin family in the fastest time, however, he has one condition. ”
"On what terms?" Lin Mohan said.
He said that if you want to get that money, you have to ...... I'm going to get your mom out! ”
As he spoke, Lin Zongnan's fist snapped and slammed into the edge of the wall, and a stream of blood flowed out along his right hand.
Lin Mohan was stunned by Lin Zongnan's words.
She seemed to have understood what was going on.
Lin Zongnan didn't pay attention to the wound on his hand, and continued: "Zhou Bowen, this person, when he was in college, liked your mother, I know that he once confessed to your mother during college, but was rejected by your mother. At that time, after he proposed it to me, I flatly refused. Later, he wanted to come to Jiangcheng several times in a row to find me and ask me to think about it. After that, another month passed, and Lin was completely paralyzed. Your grandfather didn't know where he got the news, and it put a lot of pressure on me. Afterward...... I finally couldn't stand the pressure anymore and compromised. I...... I finally let your mother out and gave it to that Zhou Bowen......"
As he spoke, Lin Zongnan punched the edge of the wall again, and the wound that had already dried up just now was bleeding again.
"That'...... So did you just agree? Lin Mohan glanced at Mrs. Zhou, his eyes full of puzzlement.
Mrs. Zhou sighed lightly, "It's been so long, what are you talking about...... At that time, when Zongnan told me about it, of course I didn't agree, so I had a big fight with him and took you back to my parents' house. Originally, I thought that Zongnan would pick me up, but ...... But I was looking forward to it day and night, and what I was waiting for was ...... Zhou Bowen ....... ”
"Later, I talked to Zongnan a few more times, and his cold attitude made me completely dead...... Since a man is willing to give me up to someone else, what is the point of my marriage with him and persevering? To love or not to love, at that moment, is no longer so important. Afterward...... I married Zhou Bowen......"
Speaking of which, Xiao Yang finally understood everything.
It turns out that the story between Lin Zongnan and Mrs. Zhou is so tortuous and complicated.
He finally understood why Lin Zongnan had been thinking about Mrs. Zhou for more than 20 years.
I'm afraid, in addition to his deep love for Mrs. Zhou, but also because deep down, he is full of remorse and self-blame......
