Chapter Seventy-One: Meeting One
He really felt how difficult it has been for Lin Ran in the past five years, pregnancy, childbirth, he has never been by her side at such an important moment, and he has missed the best four years of the child.
"Mr. Huo?"
It wasn't until he heard Lao Li's question that he remembered that he was still talking to Lao Li.
"Oh, it's okay, just say it, where is Lin Ran now?"
"Mr. Huo, Miss Lin is now going to Changfeng Cemetery, it seems that she wants to pay homage to her mother, ......"
Huo Chengyan's body, which originally wanted to get up and go when he heard the news, suddenly paused, he knew very well what Lao Li didn't finish speaking, but he pondered for a moment, and still got up to go.
In Changfeng Cemetery, Lin Ran had already taken Lin Xiaoxiao and Lin Baobao to her parents' tombstones.
"Mom and Dad, the unfilial daughter Lin Ran has come to visit you."
After Lin Ran finished speaking, he held a bouquet of chrysanthemums in front of them, and poured a glass of wine and spilled it on the ground.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, Lin Ran remembered the happy time she had with her parents, and also remembered Lin Mu'er's resolute refusal to be with Huo Chengyan before, she thought silently in her heart.
Mom, if I hadn't chosen to be with Huo Chengyan at the beginning, would the result have been different?
Mom, if I hadn't chosen to run away from home because of Huo Chengyan's words, wouldn't it have been different?
Mom, I'm sorry, I still gave birth to Huo Chengyan's children, but they are also my children, I hope you won't blame me in the spirit of heaven.
Lin Baobao and Lin Xiaoxiao both knew very well that Lin Ran was in a bad mood now, so they didn't say a word, just stretched out their hands and grabbed Lin Ran's left and right hands, wanting to hand her some warmth.
Lin Ran lowered her already tearful face, reached out to help the heads of the two of them, and a light smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Come, come, kowtow to your grandparents."
Lin Ran hugged the two in his arms, and then pushed them forward.
"Grandparents and grandmothers, hello, Lin Baobao (Lin Xiaoxiao) kowtowed to you."
As he spoke, the two of them knocked their heads on the ground three times.
Still a little distressed, he helped them up, and looked at their foreheads, which were a little red and swollen.
She turned around again and continued to talk to Father Lin and Mother Lin about the past five years.
Finally, she talked about her and Huo Chengyan, her eyes were a little unbearable, but her tone was very firm.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't listen to you at the beginning, I had to be with him, but from now on, I can't be with him anymore."
"Mom! You ......"
Lin Xiaoxiao was a little anxious when she heard it, she hurriedly wanted to speak out to stop Lin Ran from saying such words, but soon her mouth was held down by Lin Baobao.
Lin Ran turned her head to look at Lin Xiaoxiao, the corners of her mouth were still smiling.
"Xiaoxiao,"
Lin Baobao tugged on Lin Xiaoxiao's sleeve behind him, and hurriedly interjected: "Mom, it's okay, you continue to chat with your grandparents and grandparents, Xiaoxiao wants to go to the toilet, I'll take her over." ”
Lin Xiaoxiao was a little sluggish, she didn't know when she wanted to go to the toilet, but looking at Lin Baobao's stern eyes, she had no choice but to nod resignedly.
"Brother, why did you stop me from talking just now?"
Lin Xiaoxiao innocently asked Lin Baobao.
"Xiaoxiao, are you a little stupid? Didn't you see that Mom's mood just now was wrong? If we go and say to my mother like this, my mother will be very sad. ”
Lin Baobao remembered Lin Ran's expression just now, his eyes were full of concern for Lin Ran, but after all, he couldn't do anything to help Lin Ran, and all he could do was to take good care of Lin Xiaoxiao.
"It's like oh, so what do we do? I don't want to be without my dad. ”
Lin Xiaoxiao's expression was very aggrieved, and her eyes were full of tears.
"Xiaoxiao doesn't cry, we all know that there is some misunderstanding between mom and dad, right? Then it would be nice for us to help them solve the misunderstanding. ”
"It seems like a sigh, so how can we help them solve the misunderstanding?"
Lin Xiaoxiao looked even more puzzled, she didn't know what to do at all, so as to better help her parents reconcile.
"First we need to find our dad first."
Lin Baobao looked like a little adult, holding his cheeks and thinking about what to do next.
"So how do we find Daddy?"
"You stupid, you just need to look at my face and find someone who knows my face."
Lin Baobao touched Lin Xiaoxiao's head again, and his tone was full of pampering and helplessness.
But I don't want to think about how there are so many three- and four-year-old children in the world, as precocious as him.
"Brother, I saw a man who looked like you."
Lin Xiaoxiao pointed to Lin Baobao's back with some surprise and said, she didn't realize anything at all.
Lin Baobao listened to Lin Xiaoxiao's words, his back was a little cold, he didn't expect that he would say that Cao Cao Cao would arrive, but he was not ready to meet Huo Chengyan.
Huo Chengyan saw it from a distance, there were two children talking, one looked mature and steady, and the other was petite and cute, he secretly thought in his heart, if these two children were his, how good it would be.
"Kids, what are you doing here?"
Huo Chengyan half-squatted and smiled at Lin Xiaoxiao, this is a smile he has not shown a few times since he was a child.
"Uncle, we're discussing, you look like my brother."
Huo Chengyan was stunned for a moment, how could he look so similar to a child?
"Xiaoxiao, it's not that he is like me, it's me who thinks with him, you know?"
Lin Baobao looked a little speechless, he hurriedly corrected Lin Xiaoxiao, but he was a little apprehensive in his heart, he didn't know whether to turn his head or not.
"Your mother is Lin Ran?"
Huo Chengyan couldn't believe it, he didn't expect that five years later, the first thing he saw was not Lin Ran, but his and Lin Ran's children.
"Yes, uncle, do you know my mother? Can you tell me why you look so much like my brother? Oh no, it's why my brother looks so much like you. ”
Lin Baobao suddenly had three black lines on his head, he always knew that his sister was a little stupid, but he didn't expect it to be so stupid.
Huo Chengyan was also stumped by her question for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.
He knew very well that Lin Ran definitely didn't want Lin Baobao and Lin Xiaoxiao to know about his existence, but if he didn't say it, he would lose such a good opportunity for father and son to recognize each other.
He looked up at Lin Baobao, he knew very well that Lin Baobao had a plan in his heart, after all, Lin Baobao was his child and had his genes.
"Sister, didn't you just say you were looking for Dad? He is. ”
Lin Baobao held Lin Xiaoxiao's finger and said it in his mouth, but his face was expressionless.
will wait for Lin Xiaoxiao to react, Lin Baobao dragged her behind him, Lin Baobao knew very well that when Lin Xiaoxiao reacted, he would definitely pounce on Huo Chengyan and tell him about his grievances and sadness over the years.
But before he figured it out, whether Huo Chengyan hurt Lin Ran's heart, how could Lin Xiaoxiao recognize Huo Chengyan without any scruples?
Huo Chengyan looked at Lin Baobao, who was very vigilant in front of him, and felt a little sad in his heart, he didn't expect that one day his child would deny him.
He knew very well that Lin Baobao wanted him to give them and Lin Ran an explanation, otherwise Lin Baobao would not allow Lin Xiaoxiao to recognize him, and he would never call his father.
"You and my mom?"
"There are many misunderstandings between us."
In just a few sentences, it sums up his love with Lin Ran just right.
Huo Chengyan seemed to have returned to the scene when he met Lin Ran for the first time, what flashed in his eyes was Lin Ran's smile, and that smile completely took his heart away.
"Lin Xiaoxiao, Lin Baobao, where are you?"
They listened to Lin Ran's voice calling Lin Xiaoxiao Lin Baobao closer and closer, and the three of them were a little nervous, not knowing what to do.
"What about my brother? Mom is getting closer, if she sees this...... What to do? What to do? ”
Lin Xiaoxiao stomped her feet very anxiously, she looked at Lin Baobao for a while, and looked for a while to find an answer from the two of them.
"Xiaoxiao, don't worry. You tell me? ”
Lin Baobao first comforted Lin Xiaoxiao for a while, and then twisted his head to Huo Chengyan's side.
There was a provocation in his eyes, as if to say: If you can't even solve this little thing, are you still worthy of being my father?
Huo Chengyan didn't expect Lin Baobao to be so difficult, and he began to have problems as soon as they met, making it difficult for him, but he was still a little happy in his heart, which showed that his son was very smart.
He looked at his surroundings, and then led Lin Baobao and Lin Xiaoxiao to the other side.
"You just follow this road, take a detour behind your mother, and then call her from behind her back, and you won't be discovered."
"Wow, really, Dad is so smart!"
Lin Xiaoxiao shouted out before Lin Baobao could react, she was very happy, she thought she finally had a father.
"Xiaoxiao, what did you just call? You, you scream again! ”
Huo Chengyan looked a little excited, he didn't expect that the first dad shouted from Lin Xiaoxiao's mouth.
"Huh? I just ......"
Before Lin Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she quickly covered her mouth, she looked at Lin Baobao a little timidly, for fear that Lin Baobao would reprimand her.
"Xiaoxiao, you! Forget it, you can call it however you want. ”
Lin Baobao looked a little helpless, he didn't know what to say about Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Lin Xiaoxiao looked very aggrieved, she didn't expect that she would accidentally call out the word father, maybe she had been thinking about it for a long time in her heart.
"Lin Xiaoxiao! Lin Baobao! ”
Lin Ran's voice was getting closer and closer, and they all knew that they didn't dare to delay any longer, so Lin Baobao took Lin Xiaoxiao's hand and walked behind him.
