"Do you have time?" She lifted up, her face was very calm, calm enough to make me panic, calm as the bottom of the sea. Sea level before a volcanic eruption. The waves are sparkling, and there is no wind and waves at all.

"What do you mean?" I asked, and even I could sense that my tone was not good.

Gao Tiancheng crossed behind me.

"Miss Chen."

The woman's gaze turned to Gao Tiancheng and looked him up and down.

"I'm Umeko's lover." He introduced himself and stretched out his hand, "After so many years, you have worked hard. ”

Chen Yu hesitantly stretched out his hand, and the two hands were gently clasped together.

"Where!"

"We have time. It's also a sudden day, I should have said hello to you in advance, do you have time? I am a host, I can't talk about thanks, we all love Zhang Nian, because Zhang Nian we are connected, let's get together, have a meal, drink tea, contact and contact feelings. ”

"What if I don't say yes?" She replied cautiously and carefully.

"He's my son!" I reached out and pulled Gao Tiancheng aside, "He's my son!" "Again, I emphasize.

Chen Yu raised his chin at me.

"How?" She turned sideways, shifted her position, and folded her shoulders in a defensive position. She's made her posture too clear.

She is so determined that she doesn't want to give her son back to me?

"Zhang -----"

Gao Tiancheng dragged me behind him.

"Miss Chen, I think you can understand her, she didn't mean that."

"I don't care what she means. Chen Nian is my son. ”

"Chen Nian?" She even changed her name? When was it changed? I'm afraid I want to kill people now, what nonsense do you talk to her? Paternity test! Tell Zhang Nianzhi about the benefits and harms, tell him the truth, what flows in his body is the blood of me and Zhang Ruolei, the blood is thicker than water, and I don't believe in evil anymore!

"Call the police!" I shouted loudly, because I was nervous and excited, I could hear my own voice clearly, and it was all broken, I don't know if it was anger or what. I am an employer, and I keep saying to myself in my heart, if I want to put aside the past, she was a slave, a wet nurse, and a nanny, why did she dare to be so arrogant with me?

"Gao Tiancheng!" I shouted, I don't care about the image, some passers-by wanted to be onlookers, and Gao Tiancheng dispersed them. I don't give up.

"Call the police, Gao Tiancheng. She was only hired by me, and she secretly helped him change his name! He ......"

My voice grew shorter. Chen Yu looked at me calmly, her eyes were obviously talking to me, "Shout! Why don't you shout? Keep shouting?

I looked at her, tears welling up in my eyes, my heart was so sore that I tried my best to control myself from crying. At least, I couldn't cry in front of this woman who thought she had won, and I heard myself swallowing my saliva repeatedly, but the tears eventually fell involuntarily.

I lost!

I know.

I'm not qualified.

Zhang Nian will not recognize me for a single account. Over the years, I have only given them money, and Chen Yu has carried everything else by herself, and to be honest, she has never even talked to me about work

Capital.

Yes, my body involuntarily stumbled backwards, yes, I ignored it, for eight years, I didn't care about anything except money, if I follow my usual approach, Chen Nian, oh no, Zhang Nian couldn't even study in it.

Chen Yu didn't go to dinner with us, but we went to her house with us. I have forgotten many of the scenes at that time, do I remember renting them a house like this? An old building, an old community, the sun shines in plainly, illuminating the gray and dilapidated building, with a strange nostalgic pixel style. I can't say it's good-looking, I can only say that it looks comfortable, the community is quite clean, there are a lot of people downstairs, and the three of them get together in groups, or bask in the sun, or gossip about homely things.

Chen Yu's house is on the third floor, a multi-storey building, the beginning of the construction of this house has been unknown, and several people climbed the stairs. Chen Yu was leading in front, Gao Tiancheng and I were following behind, and Gao was holding my hand. The stairwell is not steep, the third floor is not high, and no one is exaggeratedly out of breath.

One ladder and three households, Chen Yu put the east. Good on the east side. I said in my heart that the northerners believe this, and the purple qi comes from the east. The old-fashioned cross-flower door lock, the key metal is bright silver, and it seems to be stuck in the lock hole, but Chen Yu is well versed in the temperament of this old lock, and touches the lower part of the door with his toes, only to hear a "click" between the metals, Chen Yu then gently twists the key, and the door squeaks open.

It's still Chen Yu in front.

"Please come in." She said that Ha bent down to help us get two new pairs of slippers, but both pairs were women's, which shows that there are no men in her house and they don't often come.

"I'm sorry, but there are only women's slippers at home. Zhang Nian's pair is men's, but it's still too small, I'm afraid your husband can't wear it. ”

"It's okay." Gao Tiancheng responded, took off his shoes, and stepped directly on the floor with his socks, "I'll be barefoot." He said.

"Cool!" Chen Yu asked me with his eyes, but he didn't look at Gao Tiancheng.

This is a woman who knows how to measure herself, she knows that Gao Tiancheng is my husband, so whether it is out of politeness or concern, she did not choose to talk to Gao Tiancheng directly.

"It's okay" I bent down and took off those new shoes, to be honest, those new shoes were comfortable to wear, but they were still in the stage of running in with my feet, and now I was liberated, and my poor feet suddenly felt like they were out of a cage. The logo of the new slippers has not been torn, the color is elegant, and the style is indifferent. Although this woman's home is simple and pure, there is no place where it does not show her extraordinary character.

Yes, taste can be cultivated, it can be elegant, and it can even be bought with money, but character is not.

Two small bedrooms, a living room facing east on the opposite door, the Ming Hall, not facing south, means that the afternoon light is there, a two-person sofa, a foot pedal, and the coffee table is a glass coffee table just a step away, the opposite side of the coffee table is not like the average person hangs a TV, opposite is a large bookshelf, covered with walls, all of which are books, I walked over, and read those books are often turned out to see, not new.

"Sit down." Chen Yu didn't talk much, but most of his words were concise and to the point. "I'm going to pour you a glass of water." She said.

I'm Ben

Lai has sat down and stood up again.

"Don't bother."

"No trouble." She went into the kitchen, this room is not big, from the living room to the outside a little look can see the innermost kitchen, the kitchen is planned on the balcony, in the middle of a white-edged carved glass door, the door is not closed, the balcony faces west, now is the west side of the sun, I see the kitchen windowsill on the tableware reflected the sun, dazzling. That proves that the dishes are clean and clean.

A neat woman.

I mentally defined it and put another label on her.

Chen Yu's movements were swift, and there was clear water in the two transparent cups that were about one height of a bundle.

"No tea, no coffee." She explained simply.

I naturally exchanged a few polite words with Gao Tiancheng.

"Where! That's good. ”

I took a sip from my cup, not thirsty, but the host's kindness.

The water entered my throat and went down my esophagus, and I put down the cup, and the bottom of the cup collided with the surface of the fiberglass coffee table, making a slight noise.

I was at a loss for a moment, not knowing how to start. She had raised this child alone for eight years, and I remember that when I first found her, she was not very old, only about thirty years old. Is she single or divorced? I forgot that we didn't communicate much over the years, except for transferring money to her or sending money, so I don't know much about her.

"There are only ...... at home," I heard Gao Tiancheng ask.

"Yes." Chen Yu sat on the gray footrest next to the coffee table. "It's just the two of us. I took Chen Nian with me, so fast, eight years have passed in a flash. She raised her head and looked at Chen Nian's photos on the bookshelf, there were a lot of photos of Chen Nian, some she sent to me, and some she didn't send to me, no matter how big they were, most of them were life photos, and some of them were still capturing Chen Nian's funny, which looked kind, natural and life. She lowered her head, her hands unconsciously crossed together.

"Then you ......"

"It doesn't need to be so polite." She looked up, her gaze cold to mine. "I've always been on my own, this suite is my own, I got married late, I got married at the age of twenty-eight, and I started to have a good relationship, and then the relationship was good, or rather, I haven't had time to get tired of each other. He ran a long-distance bus, and he had an accident a month after getting married, and I was always alone. When I picked up Chen Nian, my man had just died. ”

I didn't expect that. At that time, the time was too rushed, and I didn't know much about it, not to mention that everything was arranged by Wan Qian. At the beginning, even the transfer of money and everything was done by Wan Qian, and then I took over when Wan Qian left. I always thought she was moved by the story we made, but it wasn't!

Everyone has a story, and everyone is the protagonist of their own life.

How can such a person be detached?

"Then you haven't looked for it again after all these years?" I felt a little abrupt when I exited, but I couldn't take it back.

She looked up at me and smiled, shaking her head slightly.

"Nope. I didn't think about looking for it again. At first, when he left, he couldn't stand it, and he compensated, and his mother-in-law came to make trouble, saying that I was a mourning star and that I was killed

People in the small town are superstitious, and some people believe it, and everywhere I go, someone pokes me in the back, as if I really killed my husband. ”

She looked calm helpless.

So Chen Nian is her former emotional sustenance, they have depended on each other for so many years, yes, how can she let go easily?

I shifted slightly uneasily, picked up the cup in front of me, and took another sip of water. The room is very quiet, and the outside is not noisy, and the whole world is silent, I tried my best to find out what topic, and then lead to Zhang Nian, but I didn't know how to speak.

She died when she was newly married, and her husband had not had time to give her a child. After she lost her husband, she was blamed and faced the gossip alone, until Chen Nian appeared, if Chen Nian did not appear, her life could be rewritten. Chen Nian means a lot to her.

I glanced at Gao Tiancheng and gently touched his foot under the coffee table with my foot.

Gao Tiancheng put his elbow on his knee and cleared his throat.

"You have been alone with Chen Nian for so many years, you must have suffered a lot!" I noticed that he called my son "Chen Nian".

What does he mean? Is the skull broken? What are we here for? He's here to swear sovereignty and regain lost territory, and he's good! I hate it so much that if it weren't for the occasion, I would have turned my face with him.

Chen Yu tilted his head when he heard this question, and his face showed tenderness again.

"It's alright!" The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and her eyes became distant. It was as if some mysterious force was pulling her back to where she had been for a second. Once upon a time, at that time, Chen Nian, Ah Ba, Zhang Nian, was Zhang Nian. Zhang Nian is still young, still in swaddling, I still remember that he was born crying loudly and full of energy, if he was a little grinder, a night cryer, it was really enough for Chen Yu back then.
