Father. That's a funny word for Charis.

Since she was a child, she didn't know what kind of creature her father was. Because throughout her childhood, she never saw any figure named Father.

She still remembers when she was a child, when other children fell into her father's arms after school. She could only sit on the back seat of her brother's bicycle, tugging at the corner of her brother's clothes, and looking enviously at the other children who had fathers.

It can be said that from the time she began to be sensible, Zhou Yi played the role of the most important father in her life. And for such a role, Xia Ruisi doesn't want others to get involved at all. So immediately, she developed a deep hostility towards this father who suddenly appeared.

"My mom got a boyfriend? That's her thing! Why should I think of him as a father. My father died on the plane a long time ago, could he suddenly run out of the grave to confess his relatives? So, I'm never going to admit that any mess would be my father, absolutely not! ”

What Xia Ruisi said was categorical. You can see from the tone of her voice how unshakable her will is now. In the face of her statement, Mrs. Hamilton sighed, and then said with some regret.

"It would be nice if you could have such a strong will in normal times!"

As she said this, the old-fashioned old lady showed a rare smile on her unsmiling face. Then, that's how she explained it to Charis.

"Maybe I didn't make it clear to you, Miss Charris. The gentleman I'm talking about is not the boyfriend Madame is looking for. To be exact, he is Young Master Zhou's biological father, so from a certain point of view, he is also your father. You should be a little more respectful to him, shouldn't you? ”

Brother's father? Mom's ex-husband?

Hearing this, piles of garbled characters immediately appeared in Xia Ruisi's little head, which was not very sufficient. And the memories of childhood also came back one after another at this time.

She began to vividly recall the two graves her mother would visit at certain times of the year. One was her biological father, Mr. Ferguson, who was tragically killed on the plane. The other is his brother's father, who is said to have had an accident while on a secret mission. Chariss's memory is fixed on Mr. Zhou's tombstone, and she remembers the name engraved on it.

"Smith. Week? Is that him? ”

She asked Mrs. Hamilton. Hamilton, on the other hand, nodded immediately.

"That's right. That's what Madame called him. After all these years, he actually looks almost no major change from the photo. What an enviable guy. ”

Hearing this, Xia Ruisi immediately began to set off and rushed in the direction of the study. At this time, the two people in the study were having such a conversation.

"So, you weren't dead at all. Just kept hiding in the shadows and watching us, but never thought to come out and recognize us? ”

The graceful and luxurious Zhou Lan asked the man sitting opposite her with an indifferent face, she looked very calm, but from her somewhat uncontrollable trembling fingers, it had already revealed what kind of mood she was in now.

Smith. Zhou's sudden appearance was tantamount to a meteorite directly hitting the lake, bringing earth-shaking changes to her heart. The fact that she could sit here and talk to him in peace was already a result of her desperate efforts to restrain her emotions. And now, as this conversation deepens, she is becoming more and more difficult to control herself.

"Have you ever thought about it. What a difficult thing it is for an unmarried woman to carry a child without a father. Do you know how many times I almost couldn't make it? ”

"I'm sorry, Lan."

Smith. Zhou Zai, Zhou Lan's expression was low. It was even said that his whole face was an apologetic look and a slow guilt.

"But I had to do it. You know, I was a wreck. And there are so many unknown dangers around me. If I return to you, it will not only drag you down, but it will also put you in danger. I can't do that, I can't be so selfish. So I can only be ruthless and choose to stay away from you. Ah Lan, at that time, I really hoped that you could forget me and start a new life! That's the best choice for you and for your child. ”

"Aren't you being selfish by doing that?" A sneer suddenly appeared on his face, and Zhou Lan looked at Smith with a bitter face. Zhou said. "I've forgotten about your existence, and I'm used to life like this. Why did you pop up so suddenly, and why did you still appear in our lives. to disrupt everything about us. Smith. Zhou, you're just a jerk! ”

"Yes, I'm a bastard. I admit it! ”

In the face of such accusations, Smith. Zhou accepted everything calmly, and then he immediately sank his face and said to Zhou Lan.

"But why can't I do that. My child is in danger and I can help him and save him. Isn't that okay? Am I going to turn a blind eye to him at such a time? ”

Speaking of the child, Zhou Lan immediately started talking to Smith again. Zhou pulled out of his resentment. She stared at the man in front of her who had abandoned their mother and son for decades, looking at the apology on his face and the hint of indifference like a passerby. endured and endured, and barely suppressed his complex feelings one by one.

At this time, she has actually passed the most difficult time to calm down at the beginning. Because no matter what, she and the man in front of her have not seen each other for thirty years. Even if there was an alliance at the beginning, even if there was a lifelong agreement at that time. But now, with the ravages of time, all this has long been gone with the rain and wind.

Smith. Zhou, for her now, is just a memory that represents the past. Even if he jumped out of his memories, he would never be able to bring them back to the old days. So, now she has slowly left everything about him behind, and then shifted the focus of the conversation back to her son.

"What the hell is wrong with Zhou Yi. What the hell did you do to him? Why did he become the way he is. ”

It's been thirty years as a single mother. The things that Zhou Lan cares about the most have already become her own pair of children, as well as her relatives and friends who will always be by her side. So now, she immediately questioned the man in front of her.

At this time, the expression on her face had become very indifferent. So much so that she was confronted by Smith. Zhou Du began to believe that if he couldn't give a qualified answer, this woman would immediately turn into a man-eating tiger and explode desperately.

Even with his infinite powers, Smith. Zhou definitely didn't want to offend this mother who was about to blow up Mao at this time. So immediately, he showed a look of laughter and tears, and then said so earnestly that he almost swore an oath.

"What do you say? How could this have anything to do with me. I just discovered him by accident, and then I managed to bring him back to you. All that happened to him had nothing to do with me. ”

Smith. Zhou's words did not dispel all of Zhou Lan's doubts. However, it also made her begin to believe all that he said. After all, tiger poison does not eat children, no matter what you say, Zhou Yi is also his son. Even if he is a bastard, he shouldn't have given his son anything.

Thinking about this, Zhou Lan also began to be a little unable to sit still. Although Zhou Yi had his women around him taking care of him, as a mother, no matter how relieved she was with those women, it was impossible for her to completely hand over her son to them.

She began to be eager to see how her son was doing, even if she knew that it would be useless to go, she still wanted to see it with her own eyes.

And just as she was about to leave, Charis had already carefully pushed open the door and walked in.

"Mom, are you here?"

Whispering hello to her mother, Charis winced as she looked at the man across from her. Faced with this man with a special identity, Xia Ruisi really didn't know what kind of identity to call him. And it seems to see her restraint and hesitation, Smith. Zhou immediately took the lead in greeting her.

"You're Charis. Nice to meet you, I'm Smith. Zhou, Zhou Yi's biological father. You can just call me Smith if you want. ”

He behaved pleasantly and personable. People can't help but feel good when they see it. And Xia Ruisi is still young after all, and she is not sophisticated in terms of human sophistication. So for Smith. Zhou's statement, she immediately let go of the little discomfort in herself, and began to feel that he was a kind and friendly person.

And driven by this sense, she immediately straightened her posture and said to him with a smile.

"Nice to meet you, Smith."

"Charis! Be careful, don't talk nonsense! However, she had just said hello when Zhou Lan had already interrupted her. The mother was now acting like a leopard guarding her cubs, and she was speaking to her in a serious and serious manner. "This man isn't as harmless as you seem. He's a cunning guy! So, don't take his word for it, don't believe a word. For him, you just have to remember to keep your distance, then that's enough. See what I mean? ”
