The car pulled into the gate of a high-end private hospital and stopped in a separate inpatient area. Lin Qingrou followed the driver's instructions and went to the ward where Du Liangde was.

When Lin Qingrou approached the door of the house, there seemed to be a faint sound of Du Lin's frolicking inside. Lin Qingrou's heart gradually soothed. She walked into the room quickly and found that this was a large suite, and she looked from the outside to the inner ward, where her son Du Lin was lying on the side of the bed, reciting ancient poems obediently.

"The spring is silent and cherishes the trickle, and the shade of the tree shines on the water and loves the sunshine. The little lotus showed its sharp corners, and a dragonfly had already stood on its head. Du Lin's milky voice came from inside, and Lin Qingrou's hanging heart finally let go.

Du Liangde, who was sitting on the hospital bed, looked at Du Lin lovingly, and after reciting a small poem, both grandparents and grandchildren laughed happily.

Lin Qingrou looked at this rare scene outside, and the surprise in her heart was even stronger. Du Liangde was much older than he had been before he left, and although he was already quite old, this time he looked more and more emaciated and emaciated. What's even more strange is that Du Liangde has always shown people with a cold face, whether it is to treat his son Du Zeming or other family members, he is used to not smiling, and he keeps a straight face all day long, with a serious face.

Therefore, Lin Qingrou felt that this side in front of her was quite incredible, and it could be said that she had never seen Du Liangde smiling so happily since she married into the Du family. She noticed that in the ward, there was a middle-aged aunt who was cleaning up, and in front of outsiders, Du Liangde was able to let go of his usual indifference and harshness, and joke and frolic with his grandson Du Lin, which was really unimaginable in the past.

At this time, Du Liangde turned his head to the door, and when he found that Lin Qingrou was already standing there, he smiled kindly at her.

Lin Qingrou almost couldn't believe that Du Liangde's reaction when she saw her would be so seemingly kind.

"Qingrou, you finally seem, come in." Du Liangde said.

Qingrou, this is not the name of yourself that would come out of the mouth of a person like Du Liangde. Lin Qingrou felt that the more unusually friendly Du Liangde was, the more uneasy and panicked she felt in her heart.

At this time, Du Lin saw Lin Qingrou appear at the door, so he ran towards her excitedly.

"Mommy, Mommy, you're back! I thought Mommy would never come back. Du Lin said with a crying voice, and fell into Lin Qingrou's arms.

Lin Qingrou saw that her longing son was finally in her arms, and the thoughts and grievances in her heart instantly turned into tears, and she couldn't help but flow down anymore.

Du Liangde, who was on the side, calmly watched the reunion scene of the mother and son, and quite understandably did not interfere with the emotional catharsis between them and the mother and son.

Lin Qingrou couldn't express her love for Du Lin in words, how much she wanted Du Lin to know how much his mommy loved him at this moment, and she missed him every day and night. Lin Qingrou could only hug Du Lin tightly to make Du Lin feel that his mommy was by his side.

The reunion of mother and son after a long absence was very moving, and even the nurse aunts present were deeply moved by the emotional outpouring in front of them.

"Okay, Linlin, you go and follow your aunt to the room outside to play for a while, I'm going to talk to your mommy for a while, okay?" It took a long time before Du Liangde spoke.

"Mommy, I don't want to leave Mommy?" Du Lin grabbed the corner of Lin Qingrou with his small hand, refusing to let go.

Lin Qingrou shook her head, comforted Du Lin with her heart for a while, and finally made Du Lin happy. The nature of a child is to be sad and happy quickly. Du Lin wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands, and Lin Qingrou took out a tissue to wipe it clean for him. Then the nurse aunt took Du Lin's hand and went to the outhouse together.

Lin Qingrou stood up and walked into Du Liangde's hospital room, and Du Liangde motioned for her to sit on the chair next to her bed. Lin Qingrou hesitated slightly, but still complied.

"I'm sorry to ask you to come forward in such a way." Du Liangde opened his mouth and apologized to Lin Qingrou.

Lin Qingrou shook her head slowly, motioning for Du Liangde to continue, she wanted to know what she was inviting her here for.

Du Liangde coughed violently a few times, and said helplessly: "You have also seen that my body is getting worse and worse, and I have something in my heart to tell you today." ”

At this time, Lin Qingrou's mobile phone rang, and she held it up to see that it was Du Zeming. Only then did I think about it, is Du Zeming still looking for Linlin's whereabouts outside?

Du Liangde looked at Lin Qingrou's mobile phone and said, "Don't worry about him, I have already asked someone to tell Zeming that Linlin is here with me." But he didn't know it was you who were in this place right now. Today is a conversation between you and me, and I don't want anyone to interrupt me. ”

"What did you do with me?" Lin Qingrou raised her phone and asked.

Du Liangde sighed deeply and said, "I invited you here this time in the hope that you can return to the Du family. ”

Lin Qingrou immediately shook her head, she had no idea of returning to the Du family at all now. The sooner and more simply you reject such a thing, the more you can fully express your attitude.

"I know you're going to refuse, but you listen to me first." Du Liangde expected Lin Qingrou's attitude and immediately said so.

"My illness has been up and down, and there will be no major improvements, and I can see it at this age. Ever since I fainted that night, I have been flashing back to my mind with many fragmentary memories of the past. Du Liangde paused, glanced at Lin Qingrou, and continued: "Back then, your father Lin Bojie and I were also partners in the same period, we were both so young at that time, but now we recall it almost in front of us. ”

"Your father founded the Lin Company, which was mainly engaged in home building materials at that time, and I took over the family property from my father, and at that time it was just a well-known real estate developer. I had a good relationship with him, and of course, we weren't very close friends, but at best we were trusting partners. We are very different in terms of our style, and your father is a man who values integrity and morality in everything in the mall. On the contrary, I put interests first, which can also be said to be mercenary, eager for quick success. ”

"That being said, the mall is like a battlefield, and at least my code of conduct is more likely to be successful. I soon grew the company and established it as Hongming Group, and expanded vigorously until it went public. Your father also ran the company to the scale of the group company, and the Lin Group is also one of the benchmark enterprises in the industry. The cooperation between our two groups is also getting deeper and deeper, and both of us have reaped huge economic benefits in the real estate industry. ”

Du Liangde spoke softly about something quite old, and from time to time he turned his head to look out the window at the sparsely foliage of the plane trees.

"When you were young, I used to see you in the forest house. You were very well-behaved and cute, but you were very silent at that time, and you seemed very sad that you couldn't speak. But your parents held you in the palm of their hands and did not alienate you at all because of your specialness. And your half-brother Lin Qinghe also sent him out to live since he was a child because your parents took care of your feelings. ”

Lin Qingrou heard Du Liangde mention her brother Lin Qinghe, her heart really tightened, whether what Du Liangde said was true is debatable, but she really didn't know why Lin Qinghe had not lived with their family at home since she was a child, but was forced to go to boarding school.

Du Liangde took the water cup on the side, swallowed a few sips, and then said: "You should know that Lin Qinghe is the child born to your father Lin Bojie and his first love. That woman's name was Su Yan, that is, Lin Qinghe's biological mother. At the beginning, your father Lin Bojie abandoned Su Yan for some reason and chose to marry your mother and form a family. Su Yan was angry and married a local man with a gang background. This gang organization controls many black industries in Gaoyang City, such as underground, money banks, black markets, casinos, and loan sharks. ”

"Even if we businessmen want to do business in Gaoyang City unimpeded, we have to use money to dredge up relations with them many times, otherwise once we touch their interest chain, we will suffer serious blows and retaliation. Just a few years ago, the man Su Yan married died in a traffic accident, and he was already the boss of the gang when he died. It wasn't until recently that I learned that Su Yan had succeeded her husband and became the real ruler of the gang. ”

Du Liangde looked at Lin Qingrou with cloudy eyes and said, "You must be very strange, why am I telling you this." Let me tell you now, the one who instigated media reporters to expose the private life of our Du family, and then stole and publicly disseminated the two videos about our Du family, the mastermind behind all this is this community organization called Chao Yixing, and it is Su Yan who is really manipulating this matter. ”

"Su Yan has hatred for both the Du family and the Lin family. For your Lin family, your father Lin Bojie has hurt her the most, she has always wanted to bring down the Lin family, including the bankruptcy that led to your father's suicide by taking drugs, all of which were retaliated by her behind her back, and our Du family has been making great progress in the real estate industry for so many years, and the gray area in this usually has a conflict of interest with them Chao Yixing, so of course Su Yan also wants to defeat our Du family. ”

When Lin Qingrou heard this, her whole body trembled unconsciously. In Du Liangde's mouth, she once again remembered the life and death of her father Lin Bojie, the bankruptcy crisis that was like a catastrophe for their Lin family, if it was actually caused by Su Yan, the biological mother of her brother Lin Qinghe. Lin Qingrou's mind was a little messy, and she didn't know whether she should believe Du Liangde's words.
