There is still half a month before the May Day Festival, and the cities in the north have begun to enter the summer, and when they were resting at noon on this day, Shen Yin received a call from her sister, "Sister, I have bought a ticket to go home on May Day, how is my grandmother's health?" I'm going to give you a big surprise when I come back this time. Shen Yuehuan's wheezing sound came from the phone.

"What did you do?"

"Sister, I'm working out, do I want to send you a video."

"Forget it, you have to remember to eat on time, and when you arrive, I'll pick you up."

"No need, I said I was going to surprise you, you just have to wait at home." Shen Yuewan smiled mysteriously: "Grandma's complexion looks much better, I recently made a video with her, and she can still call out my name." ”

"Yes, grandma's illness is good and bad, but she remembers your name very clearly, and sometimes she recognizes me as you."

"Sister, I've worked hard for you this time."

"It's okay, how are you doing? If you have any difficulties, just tell me, don't resist alone, you still have my sister. She wanted to tell her sister about her background, but when the words came to her lips, she still couldn't say it. Since her parents were hiding it from them, if she told her about it and caused her sister other troubles, she would rather keep the secret in her heart forever.

"Got it, I'll hang up first, and you take care of yourself."

Shen Yin put her phone on the table, thinking about whether to meet the man, the "executioner" who had ruined their entire family.

Since that meeting with Gu Kaizhi and his wife, she went a second time and learned about the man's life and address from Gu Kaizhi's mouth. Although it has been seven or eight years, it is not difficult to find this person.

Yang Ning walked over with a document and sat beside her, "This time there is a cooperation in a southern city to discuss, do you have time to go?" ”

She took the contract, and the city where the man lived on a business trip was the same city where the man lived, so she agreed, "No problem, I'll go." ”

"Okay, I'll send you an email address for the things to pay attention to, and you can take care of your own affairs first." It has been two years since Zhou Fansheng went to the United States, and during this period, the affairs of the "Fanchen" studio were all represented by Yang Ning, and in their hearts, Yang Ning was the boss.

After Shen Yin booked the ticket and the hotel, he told Wang Mengliang that he was going to go on a business trip for a few days, and he didn't say anything about going to see the man. She had been struggling with whether it was necessary to meet that man before, but when she thought about her life over the years, her heart was full of resentment. She knew in her heart that she was just looking for a new person to vent to, and the person who really needed to adjust was herself. She told herself that this time she was just going to meet the man, nothing else would happen, and that was all.

The time was a bit rushed, and she booked a flight early the next morning. Wang Mengliang drove her to the airport, "This time, you have to relax, I have everything at home." ”

"Well, thank you for your hard work." She buried her head in his shoulder and found that he had actually sprayed perfume today.

Although the distance was long, she made up for sleep on the plane, but arrived at the agreed place at the right time—twenty minutes early. Shen Yin first went to the bathroom to make up her makeup and came to the agreed hotel private room.

She had already memorized the contents of the contract before leaving, the other party was a middle-aged and elderly couple, the man was a writer, and the wife was a teacher. After Shen Yin entered, they all stood up, and after politely introducing themselves, the man waved to the waitress standing on the side, ordered, he handed the menu to Shen Yin, and motioned for her to order first. It can be seen from their voices that their chronological age is younger than their physical age, but their hair is already gray.

She ordered two dishes to the couple's liking and handed them the menu.

She came here mainly to win the publishing rights and rights of a book co-written by the couple, "Eventful Time", which the couple began to create ten years ago and took ten years to complete. They also asked Xia Zhen to design the cover and illustrations for the book, and they said that Xia Zhen was their daughter's favorite author, but her daughter died of depression at the age of 20. This book was conceived and written the year after they lost their daughter.

"Thank you, I'll arrange it as soon as possible." Shen Yin agreed to their request.

The wife took out a USB flash drive from her bag and put it on the table, "This is an electronic document, when my husband and I started writing, we used to use handwritten manuscript paper, and recently I heard that these have all become electronic, so we sorted out the manuscript and stored it all in this USB flash drive." ”

Shen Yin imagined the couple sitting in front of their desktop computers typing.

"Thank you, I'll take care of it." She put away the USB flash drive, and saw that the couple was visibly relieved, they must have had a hard time keeping this thing, she thought. "Don't worry, I will mail you samples when the company is ready."

"Thank you for your hard work." The wife thanked her, and after turning her head to look at her husband, her eyes were obviously slightly melancholy, "Well, this book was written by us in memory of our daughter, Lily, and it also tells the true feelings of our painstaking efforts, I hope you editors will not delete or modify the content when sorting it out, this information has been revised more than a hundred times before it is handed over to you." ”

Shen Yin didn't know how to answer, and after seeing the sincere eyes of the couple, she nodded, "Don't worry, our company will respect your opinions." ”

"I'm really a trouble for you, if only my daughter could see that we wrote a book for her." The wife suppressed her voice, her eyes were red, she took a sip of water, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "I'm sorry, if my daughter were still alive, she would be almost as old as you." The man put his arm around his wife's shoulder and patted her gently, "Don't mention the past, we've been here for so many years." ”

At this time, the waiter next to him said that he was going to start serving.

Shen Yin went to the hotel to check in, it was already half past four in the afternoon, she took a shower first, changed into a casual white short-sleeved, light blue jeans and sneakers and set off. She took a taxi to a community according to the address Gu Kaizhi said, and the buildings behind this community looked very old, and asked the doorman about the man, it turned out that the man still lived in this community.

She walked through a laneway lined with these green plants in a regular pattern, with pink and white peony flowers alternately. At the end of the alleyway is a garden, there is a pavilion in the garden, leading to the pavilion is surrounded by four corridors, and wisteria flowers are planted on both sides of the corridor, and the wisteria flowers are blooming beautifully at this time, and she smells a strong fragrance of wisteria flowers. Passing by the pavilion, she heard three women and an old man gossiping, their conversation attracting Shen Yin's attention.

"Xiu'er, how is the paralyzed old man you take care of now?"

"I only came out of the hospital last week, so I guess the situation shouldn't be good?"

"Yes, you see that most of the ambulance sirens you have heard in the past six months are going to his house."

The middle-aged woman who was questioned shook her head, "I can only eat some liquid food recently, and I heard from the doctor that I am afraid it will not be August." ”

"Alas, this is all retribution, you see what he did when he was young, that thing that was not spurned by others."

"He's also pitiful like this, since he looks like that, the people who have stepped into the threshold of his house except you are those doctors and nurses."

"People, it's not easy to live for a lifetime, no matter how hard it is, you still have to have a child by your side, even if you can't support the elderly, but you can always get some comfort by your side."

Shen Yin heard their conversation, and his heart suddenly relaxed a little.
