Chapter 42: Heartlessness
When I looked around, my eyes lit up, and the west side was full of two-story buildings of the same style, all of which were single-door courtyards.
On closer inspection, this is a villa community, with an elegant surrounding environment, red and blue petunias swaying in the green island, and camphor trees above the guardrail playing and teasing with the afterglow of the setting sun.
It seems that it is not easy for people with no status or money to live in this upscale residential area.
Standing in front of the villa, the same thought was rolling in my mind.
What is Mr. Lin's identity? Politics or business, or politics and business?
In any case, it is always not polite to come to the door empty-handed.
What should I buy?
Look around the platform, there are apples, bananas, pears, and grapes.
After thinking about it, I picked out some well-colored bananas and apples, both of which are auspicious numbers.
Carrying the fruit, he walked with heavy steps towards the building near the Moon Bridge.
I can hear my own heartbeat.
Taking a deep breath, I looked at the two-story building at 018.
The yard is seventy square meters, there are flowers and grass in it, a black car is parked in the west of the yard, there is a three-meter-high rockery in the east direction, there is a small waterfall on the mountain, and it flies directly into a two-meter-wide pool below, making a loud sound.
I rang the doorbell.
After a while, a middle-aged woman came out of it, neatly dressed, and walked through the courtyard to open the courtyard door.
When she looked up at me, she froze, and her gaze fell on my face as if it were glued.
I looked at her and smiled.
She finally asked, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?" ”
"Is Mr. Lin at home? I had something to do with him. ”
I still have that indifferent and calm smile, and I still have that tone that is neither humble nor arrogant.
"I'm sorry, there's no Mr. Lin here," the middle-aged woman stared at my face and responded gently and politely, "You're looking for the wrong person." ”
"Mother Dai, who are you talking to?"
Isn't that Mr. Lin's voice?
So familiar, so rich, so fresh in my memory.
How did I find the wrong person?!
Just when I was stunned, this middle-aged woman called Dai Ma answered: "Mayor Lin, there is a young man outside who has found the wrong door. ”
Mayor Lin? Could it be that he is the mayor?
After a brief moment of stunned speech, I quickly regained consciousness.
Suddenly, a sense of pathos overwhelmed me, and I thought of leaving immediately.
But before I could turn around, the man who made me happy and sad came out of the building and stopped me at the door of the building: "Is it Xiao Chu?" I can already hear you. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he had already trotted to the gate of the yard.
My tone was a little cold, and I wanted to see his desire diminish, though there was a voice that seemed to be trying to hold my footsteps: "I didn't know you were the mayor." Sorry to bother you. I thought, it's time for me to leave. ”
"That's my name," he smiled, his tone more cordial and friendly, "do you think I look like an official?" ”
"Really? Why did you come up with such a strange name? I stopped my steps, and the coldness on my face was swept away, "It's like there is a female teacher in our school whose surname is Li Mingju, which sounds like the abbreviation of Director Li." ”
He and I both laughed.
"Come in and sit down." Mr. Lin warmly invited.
I walked across the yard with the fruit and stepped through the ground floor door.
The living room is relatively large, the floor is covered with snow-white tiles, the walls are all milky white, and the tables, chairs, window covers, door covers, etc., are all my favorite rosewood. The living room faces west, and the center is framed with rosewood with a large piece of ice-blasted glass, which separates the living room, so that it injects a strong modern atmosphere into the elegant and classical atmosphere.
I put the apples and bananas on the coffee-colored coffee table on the left side of the living room, took the book out of my pocket, smiled and said to him, "This is a book of ancient poetry, you say you like it, give it to you." ”
He happily took it with his hand and said repeatedly, "Thank you, thank you." ”
He poured me a glass of orange juice.
I took a sip and asked with concern, "Where's my aunt?" Is she okay? ”
"She's so good that she can walk around on her own now. It's upstairs. Are you here today, ......? ”
I looked at Dai's mother, who was busy in the living room, and then at Mr. Lin, and said, "Can you come out for a while?" There's something I'd like to ask. ”
He stood up and walked out of the courtyard gate with me.
In the western sky, clouds hovered around the great sun, and the orange afterglow gave off a dreamy color.
He stood in the glow, looking at me very calmly, and I seemed to feel the warmth of his smile.
Staring at his real-like face, I was a little incoherent: "The dusk here is so beautiful. There is something I would like to ask Mr. Lin...... It is...... It's in the hospital that my family treats you...... Did you say something? ”
He listened intently to me, and replied in a swift and unquestioning tone, "No." Why do you think so? ”
I smiled apologetically, and said in my heart, my son is standing in front of you, and you are pretending to know nothing!
I thought hatefully, but my face showed a look of wanting to say something. If you don't get the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger? I'd like to see what your attitude is towards me!
So I went straight to the point and didn't go around in circles: "Well, I thought my family might have said something to you." Actually, I told you last time, I'm not my father's biological son. ”
Speaking of this, I paused deliberately and stared into his eyes: "I just want to find my biological father, not for anything else, I just want to understand why he brought me into this world, and if he brought me, why did he ruthlessly throw me aside like a kitten and a puppy, and let him blow the wind and rain and fend for himself." You may laugh at me, but I always think that everyone who is going through the same situation as me will behave the same way. Is that right? ”
He was still so calm, silently listening to me.
At the same time, he stretched out his left arm and walked around my back and grabbed me.
Once again, I reveled in that intimate breath, and once again I heard the clear breathing.
After listening to me, his face was full of seriousness and seriousness, and his tone was so sincere: "I understand, I understand." The problem is that if you are looking for your biological father, you must not let the family know. Do you understand what's at stake? ”
Of course I understand, I know for sure, and you still have to answer for this?
What's more, the father who raised me to adulthood, I can sacrifice everything for him!
How can it be like you, for the sake of your own powerful relationship, your own son stood in front of you, and he didn't dare to recognize him!
For the sake of his own powerful relationship, he has to pretend to be loving and kind!
Are you worried that I, the son who fell from the sky, will rob you of everything you have?
Are you afraid that my son, who suddenly appeared on the ground, will crush your bright future?
