Chapter 197: Confession
Fang Fang and Lin Yaran talked for a long time, and it wasn't until the sun was about to set that the two got up to say goodbye.
After Fang Fang left first, Sang Zhi motioned to Men Yuewei with his eyes not to go out first, and only after she and her mother-in-law left, did she let Men Yuewei leave.
"Mom, let's go home too."
Sang Zhi walked out of the seat behind him and looked at Lin Yaran, whose eyes were a little red with a light smile.
Lin Yaran nodded and sighed: "Alas, I didn't expect Fang Fang to be a hard-working woman!" ”
Regarding the conversation between her mother-in-law and Fang Fang, Sang Zhi listened to it word for word, and naturally understood Lin Yaran's feelings.
stepped forward to hold her arm and said with a smile: "Let's go, I believe that everything will be fine, and good people will definitely be rewarded." ”
Lin Yaran patted the back of Sang Zhi's hand and said with a smile: "I hope so." ”
While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were walking out, Lin Yaran suddenly thought of something, and told Sang Zhi with a serious face: "Don't tell grandpa about this matter first, grandpa is old and can't withstand any stimulation, and this kind of surprise and disappointment will make him unbearable." ”
Sang Zhi nodded, "Well, I understand, don't worry, Mom, I won't tell Grandpa." ”
When she turned around, she had to tell Men Yuewei to keep her mouth shut about this matter.
Sang Zhi sent Lin Yaran back to his home in the compound, and he made an excuse and drove out.
On the way, after receiving a call from Men Shaoting, Sang Zhi hesitated in his heart, but still told him about the meeting between Fang Fang and Lin Yaran.
Sang Zhi thought, maybe these things would be helpful for Men Shaoting to find Men Shaoxuan's whereabouts.
On the phone, Men Shaoting pondered for a moment and said: "I know, you have to be careful yourself, if it's okay, don't go around after work, go back to the compound early, don't let me worry, you know?" ”
From Men Shaoting's words, Sang Zhi heard a trace of dangerous information, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "I know, you take the trouble to tell me so every time, if you don't bother me, my ears are about to grind out calluses." ”
After hanging up the phone, Sang Zhi drove to Fenglinyuan's house and Menshaoting's house.
In the study, Sang Zhi found the key to the desk drawer according to what Men Shaoting had told him.
Sang Zhi's hand holding the key trembled inexplicably, and she didn't know what kind of feeling she would feel when she opened the drawer and saw the photo.
If his former teacher was Men Shaoting's cousin, then after listening to Fang Fang tell so many stories about him, Sang Zhi didn't know if he could still treat him calmly.
After hesitating for a moment, Sang Zhi gritted his teeth, and with a ruthless heart, he inserted the key into the lock hole.
With trembling hands, he opened the lock of the drawer, and pulled out the picture in the door from under the pile of papers.
The photo looks really old, and the paper is a little yellowish.
Kurochi took out the photo with his eyes closed, and it took a lot of courage to open his eyes and let himself face the photo.
The man in the photo is heroic and radiant, with a pair of sharp eyes that seem to be able to see everything.
Sang Zhi looked at this photo that was almost exactly the same as someone in his memory, and couldn't help but blur his vision with tears.
Men Shaoting said that judging from's analysis of Men Shaoxuan's photos when he was a child, he should look very similar to his father when he grows up.
Then that is to say, the teacher who looks very similar to the door is Men Shaoxuan, and he can't be wrong!
This discovery made Sang Zhi have mixed feelings in his heart, and the hand holding the photo kept trembling, except for silently crying at the photo, he didn't know what else he could do.
Sang Zhi looked at the photo for a long time, and cried for a long time, before gradually calming down his inexplicable heart of excitement.
Sighing, he carefully put the photo in the door back in its place, then locked the drawer again, put the key back in its place, and then took a deep look at the drawer again, and turned around and walked out of the study.
Sang Zhi sat on the sofa in the living room for a long time, and it wasn't until Door Yuewei's call came, that she was awakened by the sudden ringtone of her mobile phone.
Startled, he looked at the phone next to him, took a deep breath, and picked it up.
On the phone, Men Yuewei asked her where she was, saying that her mother asked her to call her back for dinner.
Sang Zhi was shocked at this time, and when he looked out the window, he saw that it was already dark outside.
He smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's past dinner time at this time, you can eat first, just leave some for me, and I'll go back in a while." ”
Men Yuewei agreed and hung up the phone.
Sang Zhi sighed before he stood up, took his bag and walked out of the house.
When I returned to the compound, it was almost nine o'clock, and Sang Zhi never expected that Lin Yaran and Men Yuewei hadn't eaten, and were still waiting for her to come back and have dinner together.
Sang Zhi blushed a little embarrassed, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm late to come back." ”
Lin Yaran smiled and pulled her to sit down, "It's okay, anyway, grandpa hasn't come back to eat yet, and Xiaowei and I are not hungry, so I didn't let Mother Wu start eating so early, you came back, just eat together." ”
While speaking, Lin Yaran instructed Wu's mother to hurry up and serve the food.
The three of them chatted while eating, and Sang Zhi and Men Yuewei tacitly never mentioned anything about Menzheng.
It can be seen that since Lin Yaran and Fang Fang talked, Lin Yaran's whole person has become much more cheerful than before, and her mood is much better.
Maybe it was because the resentment in her heart for many years had been eliminated, and Sang Zhi saw her heartfelt smile from Lin Yaran's face for the first time.
Everyone didn't expect that Menzheng would actually come back.
After eating, Lin Yaran, who had just come out of the kitchen, looked up and looked at the door with a pair of slightly tired eyes.
Lin Yaran's eyes were a little unnatural when she looked at Menzheng, her face flushed, and she smiled: "You're back?" ”
Menzheng nodded, glanced at Lin Yaran deeply, and wanted to say something, but suddenly realized that his daughter and daughter-in-law were still in the living room, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
"Hmm." He just replied with a dull head and walked upstairs.
Behind him, Lin Yaran asked hesitantly, "That...... Have you eaten? Would you like to make you some more food? ”
The door was stopped, turned his head, glanced at Lin Yaran hesitantly, hesitated for a moment, and walked towards her.
Sang Zhi and Men Yuewei, who were sitting on the sofa watching TV, saw this scene and hurriedly flashed with interest.
Both of them could see that the door had something to say to Lin Yaran, so they tacitly got up and walked upstairs.
When he walked to the corner of the second floor, Men Yuewei suddenly grabbed the mulberry branch.
Sang Zhi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
Men Yuewei stretched out her fingers to block her mouth and said, "Shh, don't make a sound, let's hear what he wants to say to his mother?" ”
Sang Zhi was embarrassed and whispered, "This ...... Not okay? ”
Eavesdropping on in-laws, this behavior is really disgraceful. Sang Zhida protested from the bottom of his heart against Men Yuewei's approach.
"What's wrong, if he dares to say something to make his mother sad, I won't be the first to spare him!"
As she spoke, she waved her fist angrily.
Sang Zhi couldn't help but raise his forehead and look at the ceiling, this girl, the feeling is worried that her mother will suffer!
The door was walking in front of Lin Yaran, reaching out to hold her hand, and pulling her to the sofa in the living room to sit down.
For Menzheng's behavior, Lin Yaran seemed very uncomfortable.
I don't know what happened to him, why he suddenly did this to himself.
With a red face, he pulled him to sit beside him, lowered his head, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?" ”
The door looked at her fixedly, and for a long time, he sighed and said, "I know that for so many years, you have followed me and made you wronged. ”
Hearing what the door said, Lin Yaran was shocked in her heart, and couldn't help but look up at him.
What does he mean by that?
Is it going to be a showdown with yourself?
Lin Yaran has been married to Menzheng for almost thirty years, and Menzheng has never said such emotional words to her.
Now that he said this coldly, how could Lin Yaran not be surprised in his heart and not think about it!
After taking two deep breaths, Lin Yaran said slowly: "I met with Fang Fang today, if you have anything to say, just say it, I am mentally prepared." ”
When Lin Yaran said this, she kept her head down, she didn't dare to look up at the door's eyes, for fear that what she saw from there would be a reply that made her even more sad and desperate.
Menzheng didn't expect Lin Yaran to say this, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, reaching out and gently holding her in his arms.
"Fool, what are you thinking? What are you mentally prepared for, huh? Thinking I'm going to divorce you and leave you? ”
Menzheng couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, she couldn't imagine that in her heart, she was so insecure.
Has she always been so unconfident in herself, in him, and in their marriage?
"Isn't it?"
Lin Yaran still didn't look up, just a little stiff and was held in his arms, and his face was a little restrained.
Menzheng shook his head and said categorically, "Of course not! What's the matter with you, a woman, why do you get more stupid the older you get? If it's okay, you'll be foolish! ”
While speaking, Menzheng couldn't help but reach out and poke Lin Yaran's head.
Regarding Menzheng's actions towards him, Lin Yaran was surprised.
Such an intimate action, after Fang Fang appeared back then, Menzheng had never done it to her again, let alone being old now!
Lin Yaran couldn't help but blushed with shame, and didn't know how to react for a while, only a pair of eyes, looking at him a little stunned.
Menzheng sighed and said, "I have to admit to you, when I learned the news of Fang Fang's return to China, my first reaction was surprise, and even ecstasy. ”
While speaking, Menzheng gently let go of his hand around Lin Yaran's waist, and said after a while: "There was even a moment when I really thought that maybe she was back, and I could start again with her." ”
As he spoke, Menzheng shook his head with a wry smile, "But when I really see her again, I know what it means to be a person who has moved things in transit." There may still be feelings for her in her heart, but it is no longer the ignorant love when she was young and crazy, but pure friendship, whether it is the friendship of classmates or friends, in short, it is not love. ”
Men are thinking, this may be what people often say, the gap between ideals and reality!
At that moment, Men Zhengcai suddenly realized that his wife, who had been by his side for decades, was the most important woman in his life, and after living together for so many years, he had long been accustomed to her existence, and it was hard to imagine how he would live if he left her one day.
In the past few days, because Menzheng has figured out this matter, he has become more and more entangled, and he doesn't dare to come back to face Lin Yaran.
It wasn't until Fang Fang told him that Men Yuewei and Sang Zhi had come to her, and she also made an appointment with Lin Yaran to meet, and explained the relationship between the two to her in person, that Men Zheng let go of the entanglement in his heart and went home to reveal his heart to Lin Yaran.
