Chapter 322: Old Things
It's two o'clock now, and it's almost four o'clock when you count the distance.
Jiang Yucheng said: "I'll go with you." β
Zuo Xinxin shook her head: "It's good for you to stay and take care of Xiao Cheng Xiaoai, otherwise when they wake up and can't see us, they will make a fuss." β
Lu Xuan's advertising shooting doesn't know when it will end, and Jin Zhe has not yet returned to the branch, leaving Xiao Cheng Xiaoai at ease.
Although Jiang Yucheng went together to have more protection, Zuo Xinxin was also worried about Xiao Cheng and Xiao Ai.
As soon as the words fell, a figure walked in at the door, and it was the blonde Mr. Jin.
Zuo Xinxin's expression was stunned, and the eyes of the two fell on Jin Zhe at the same time.
Jin Zhe was stunned: "Why are you looking at me like this?"
As soon as the words fell, a heroic female voice came in: "I'm so tired, do you have a cold drink, kneel and beg Bing Kuoluo to save my dog's life!"
The voice stopped abruptly the moment he saw Kim Chol.
Lu Xuan waved his hand awkwardly: "Hey, come to the door, why don't you go in?"
Turning his head, Lu Xuan saw Zuo Xinxin and Jiang Yucheng's gazes falling on him.
What's wrong with this??
Zuo Xinxin said: "Cousin, I'll go out with Yucheng, please ask you and Jin Zhe to take care of Xiao Cheng Xiaoai."
So that's what happened.
Jin Zhe smiled: "No problem." β
Lu Xuan also nodded: "When will you come back?" β
"Not sure, it might be a little longer." Anyway, since you have found this person, you must understand it clearly.
The address given by Mr. Zhou was in the city center, Jiang Yucheng was driving Jin Zhe's car, and seeing Zuo Xinxin's complicated expression, he specially drove slower.
"What do you think?" Jiang Yucheng spoke slowly.
Zuo Xinxin took a deep breath: "I'm thinking that he will tell me one, what kind of truth." β
Jiang Yucheng's eyebrows moved slightly: "Since his aunt introduced him to Zuo Zhenhai, it means that he and his aunt are familiar with each other, no matter what the truth is, it has already passed." β
After more than 20 years, does the truth really matter?
Zuo Xinxin also didn't know that she had never met her biological mother, and she pursued the truth, perhaps because of her adoptive mother's last wishes, or because of her unwillingness to be left behind, no matter what the reason, she always had to get an answer.
The car stopped at the entrance of the community, and the two wrote a registration form at the doorman and contacted Mr. Zhou before they were allowed to pass.
When entering the community, Jiang Yucheng inadvertently said: "Maybe it's a politician." β
When he was investigating Zuo Zhenhai, he learned that more than 20 years ago, in addition to the 10 million investment in the company he was on the verge of bankruptcy, there were people who secretly opened a green channel for him.
Zuo Zhenhai's situation in the company back then could only be solved quietly by politicians.
Zuo Xinxin said: "These are no longer important. β
Jiang Yucheng bowed slightly.
The two of them came to a small villa with elegant and simple decoration according to the text message, but Zuo Xinxin did not raise her hand and press the doorbell for a long time.
This door not only kept her out, but also closed the truth for more than twenty years, opening this door,
It means that no matter what the original truth is, she must face it and accept it.
Jiang Yucheng was silent, just gently holding her hand.
After a moment, Zuo Xinxin smiled at him, and then rang the doorbell.
The crisp doorbell seemed to have invisibly kicked off a prelude, and before the bell stopped, the door was slowly opened.
Standing in front of him was a middle-aged man wearing gray loungewear with a rather dignified face. The man is about 40 years old, with a little gray hair between his temples, but his body is not bloated, so he should exercise regularly.
The man's gaze first fell on Zuo Xinxin, who had a delicate face, and he was almost imperceptibly stunned for a moment before revealing a modest smile: "Miss Zuo." β
"Mr. Zhou, I contacted you." I don't know why, the moment she saw the man, Zuo Xinxin actually calmed down.
It was as if she was on the verge of the truth, and all she had to do was listen.
The man didn't immediately invite the two of them in, but sighed slightly: "In a blink of an eye, you have grown so big, and there is indeed a shadow of her between your eyebrows." β
The man said that she was her biological mother.
The first time I heard someone openly mention her biological mother, and said that they were similar between her eyebrows and eyes, Zuo Xinxin felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.
Happy, bitter, and full of mixed flavors.
"This is ......" Zhou Haisheng's gaze fell on the man beside Zuo Xinxin.
Jiang Yucheng stretched out his hand with a smile: "Jiang Yucheng, Xinxin's fiancΓ©." β
Zhou Haisheng suddenly stretched out his hand: "It turned out to be Mr. Jiang, I didn't expect Xinxin to be so blessed, come in and talk." β
The decoration of the Zhou family is very simple, clean and tidy, as if there will be no superfluous things, everything is arranged just right.
After sitting down, Zuo Xinxin took the teacup handed over by Zhou Haisheng: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou......"
Zhou Haisheng smiled: "I'm two years older than your mother, if you don't dislike it, you can call me uncle." β
Zuo Xinxin smiled and didn't speak, while Jiang Yucheng on the side quietly observed the man in front of him, and the latter was also very frank, and said straightforwardly: "Mr. Jiang can accompany Xinxin today, it is enough to see that Mr. Jiang cares about Xinxin, if Mr. Jiang is worried that I will be unfavorable to Xinxin, Zhou doesn't mind you to check." β
Jiang Yucheng looked stunned, glanced at Zuo Xinxin beside him, and said "I'm sorry" rarely.
Zhou Haisheng smiled slightly: "Mr. Jiang is serious, after all, it was more than 20 years ago, and no one will be vigilant." β
Zuo Xinxin smiled when she heard this: "Then why did Mr. Zhou conclude that I am that person?" β
Zhou Haisheng said: "Because Zuo Zhenhai doesn't have the courage to take the initiative to tell others my contact information." β
At the beginning, he helped Zuo Zhenhai tide over the difficulties, first, Zuo Zhenhai was too late to be grateful, and secondly, Zhou Haisheng's power was enough to crush Zuo Zhenhai, in public and private, only by keeping secrets tightly was Zuo Zhenhai's best choice.
If Zuo Xinxin is adopted daughter is not revealed, she will be safe and sound, if it is revealed, Zuo Xinxin can find this clue, which proves that she has a certain ability, and Zuo Zhenhai can't hide it.
Sounds weekly
Haisheng is very confident and even overconfident, but when you think about it, it is not unreasonable.
Zhou Haisheng continued: "What's more, with Mr. Jiang here, it is even easier to find out. β
Zuo Xinxin said: "Then may I ask, what is the relationship between Mr. Zhou and my mother?" β
"We are partners." Zhou Haisheng paused, and added, "I am also a childhood sweetheart who grew up since childhood." β
Seeing Jiang Yucheng and Zuo Xinxin's stunned faces, Zhou Haisheng smiled self-deprecatingly: "What, are you surprised to say your childhood sweetheart from the mouth of a bad old man like me?" β
Zuo Xinxin shook her head: "It's just, I didn't expect ......"
If Zhou Haisheng is really his mother's childhood sweetheart, then it is not surprising that he knows what happened back then, and he also has the basis of being trusted enough by his mother.
Thinking of this, Zuo Xinxin took a deep breath and said, "Then my biological mother, what is her name, and where is she now?" β
If she is still there, then what is it that makes her biological mother willing to abandon her.
Zhou Haisheng's expression became a little lonely, and he drank several cups of tea before he slowly spoke: "Her surname is Song, her name is Xiao, and she has ...... Gone......"
The words fell, and the atmosphere fell silent.
Zuo Xinxin's eyes widened suddenly, she tried her best to restrain herself from sitting on the sofa, but her hands were still clenched together, as if only the pain from her nails piercing her palms could keep her awake.
She stared at Zhou Haisheng tightly, but his expression was full of regret and pain, and it didn't look like he was pretending at all.
A touch of shock flashed in Jiang Yucheng's eyes, and he put his arms around Zuo Xinxin's shoulders, his thin lips pursed. Silently comforted.
After a while, Zuo Xinxin slowly spoke with a pale face: "...... Gone? β
She seemed to have just reacted, a dull pain welled up in her heart, and she repeated these three words softly in her mouth, and suddenly showed a smile full of bitterness.
Also, if my mother is still alive, why can't I come to her for so many years?
Just like her adoptive mother said, there must be some hardship, but no matter what hardship, Zuo Xinxin never thought that her biological mother was no longer alive!
Although she has never met her biological mother, she is a real blood relative, and it is inevitable to be sad and sad.
Talking about the old things again after many years, Zhou Haisheng couldn't help but sigh deeply: "Xinxin, people can't be resurrected after death, but you must know that back then, your mother was also forced to send you to the Zuo family out of helplessness." β
Zuo Xinxin forcibly suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, and forced her tears back: "What happened back then? β
Mother is going to send her away? And why did you choose the left family? All kinds of questions lingered in Zuo Xinxin's mind, waiting for her to solve them one by one.
Speaking of the past, Zhou Haisheng looked a little dazed, and it seemed that his memory had returned to that time.
Zhou Haisheng said: "Your mother's health has been poor when she was pregnant, and her health has deteriorated after giving birth, she knows that she has little time left, so she wants to find a reliable family to raise you." β
"Then why did she find the Zuo family?"
Zhou Haisheng did not answer this question in time, but handed Zuo Xinxin a document that read "Love."
Street Children Public Welfare Project", but there is no useful information in the document.
Zhou Haisheng said: "This is a public welfare project that your mother has been supporting, including Zuo Zhenhai's original wife Xiang Xia, your mother met Xiang Xia here." β
Xiang Xia is Zuo Xinxin's adoptive mother.
For a moment, Zuo Xinxin felt that the document in his hand had become a little heavy.
Her biological mother met her adoptive mother in a public welfare project, and her adoptive mother was unable to get pregnant due to physical reasons, so she supported the public welfare project and cared for those children without a family, where she may be able to find some psychological comfort.
"I have been in contact with Xiang Xia a few times, she is hardworking and thrifty, but she is not stingy with public welfare projects, and through her help, many children have found families to raise." Zhou Haisheng continued.
This is her adoptive mother, a gentle and resilient woman.
At this time, Jiang Yucheng slowly spoke: "There are many wealthy businessmen who participate in public welfare projects, why did she choose Xiang Xia?" β
Zhou Haisheng said: "Mr. Jiang is right, what made her make up her mind was an accident that almost broke the public welfare project. β
Accidentally?
It turned out that Song Xiao, as one of the main persons in charge of the public welfare project, was responsible for the financial aspect, and when the public welfare project was in full swing, there was a financial problem.
