The whole afternoon has been muddy, misty, and inefficient.

However, the chairman's call raised my heart to another level. I missed my appointment yesterday, and today I have to chase after me?

When I arrived at the Luo family's mansion, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, close to the meal, and it was estimated that I couldn't escape having dinner with him.

The wide dining table, only a thin me and him, cold and deserted, but rich in dishes.

He said lovingly: "Your grandmother liked to eat bamboo shoots when she was young, and she loved sour bamboo shoots and sweet bamboo shoots. ”

I listened to him reminiscing about the sweet past, and I couldn't bear it, so I just smiled and quietly accompanied him to eat. After a short rest, I helped him to the courtyard for a walk. In front of the Luojia mansion is an open space of more than 200 square meters, with fountains and rockeries, green grass and fresh air.

In the afterglow of the sunset, I finally asked: "Chairman, there is a question that has been in my mind, and I want to take the liberty of asking it today." ”

He gave me a soft look, "Huh? He motioned for me to continue.

"Why are you so concerned about me? Is it just because my grandmother and grandfather were you...... Your old friend? ”

This time, his whole body turned around, his temples were gray, and his hair had long since collapsed. The shrewd and vicissitudes of life stared at me for a moment, full of kindness and tenderness. I saw him smile slightly: "Then what do you think is the reason?" ”

"I ......," I asked boldly as if I had made up my mind, "you...... You don't think I'm your granddaughter, do you? ”

He stared at me for a moment, and finally laughed slowly, full of anticipation: "If I say yes, are you willing to recognize me as an old man?" ”

I felt as if I had been torn apart, gasping for breath, and said unwillingly: "Chairman, this joke is not easy to make." ”

"Do you think I'm joking?"

I was in a hurry, and suddenly my words were out of shape. I said, "Chairman, I think there must be a misunderstanding here, how can it be your granddaughter?" My family doesn't have money or power, but they don't want to be greedy for that extra money, as you knew three years ago. What's more, to say that my mother is your daughter is equivalent to saying that my grandmother cheated in marriage and committed adultery with you to give birth to my mother. You are insulting my grandmother's name. ””

He suppressed his smile and turned with a gloomy face. I think I was stimulated by the word "adultery" in my words. Walking into the house with a cane, my feet tried my best to keep up as if they were filled with lead, and seeing that he was walking really hard, I had to reach out to hold him, he didn't say a word, but walked to the study persistently.

And when he took out the same document as Zhang Jingen's copy, I suddenly felt that the whole world was collapsing. I finally heard the last thing I wanted to know: "This is my certificate of kinship with your mother, and it is clearly written." She and I have a father-daughter relationship. When I was with your grandmother, she was unmarried, so why did you talk about adultery? I know you'll find it hard to accept for a while, but facts are facts. Your mother is my long-lost daughter. ”

His eyes suddenly flashed, "I know that I was sorry for your grandmother back then." ...... year I had no idea that she was pregnant with a child, so she was transferred to City Y. When I go back to see her, she ...... She's married. ”

I was struck by the chaotic relationship, but I heard him say sincerely: "I know that I have not fulfilled my father's responsibilities all these years, and she has a grudge against me, and I don't blame her." I'm not going to force her. ”

"Does my mom know?" My face was full of loss, and it was as if half of my strength had been drained.

"I originally wanted to establish a relationship with you and then recognize it and tell her again. Since I asked, I might as well tell you. Your mother seems to have misunderstood me. Shu Hua, I won't force you to accept me immediately, I'll give you time. ”

I thought of something again, and asked with a glimmer of hope: "Don't I still have an aunt?" My aunt and my mother look so similar, they won't be adopted. How can this be explained? ”

He replied expressionlessly: "Your aunt and I are not related by blood, how did she come here, you can go back and ask your mother in detail." ”

I don't know how I got out of Luozhai. I only remember that I was accumulating the last bit of strength and said: "Chairman, this result is beyond my expectations, after all, it is a matter of my own life experience, please let me sort it out." Please don't expose it to the public until there, okay? “

He nodded, just looked at me sincerely and sadly, and his voice was vicissitudes and resolute: "Don't make me wait too long, this is an old man's request to you." ”

……

As soon as I entered the city, I asked the driver of the Luo family to put me in a shopping mall. I jumped out of the car and found a relatively quiet place, but I couldn't resist calling.

Mom quickly connected: "Huahua." ”

I couldn't bear to listen to my mother's tired voice, but I had to ask: "Mom, the chairman has often called me to their house for dinner recently, what is the relationship between our family and their family?" ”

Mom said coldly: "What can be the origin, it's not that the old man stole your grandfather's jade back then." What's wrong? Did he make things difficult for you? Why even ask this? ”

I hurriedly comforted: "No, Mom, don't think about it. I just think it's very strange, and I feel inexplicable when I accept the invitation of the old man several times. ”

At that moment, for some reason, I stopped talking and didn't say any more. If my mother knew about it but kept it from me, she probably didn't want our lives to change. And if she didn't know, I said directly at this moment, then I don't know how my mother reacted.

I asked: "The chairman asked about the situation of the aunt, and he said that he knew his grandmother the year he was born, but at that time, the grandmother was not married, and there was no time to give birth, where did the child come from?"

Mom hesitated for a few seconds, sighed and said, "I wanted to live like this forever, but it's a family anyway." If you ask now, I won't have to hide it from you. Your aunt was not born to your grandmother, she was the illegitimate daughter of your aunt's grandmother. ”

I was shocked again, and the cold air on my feet was rising up.

"I still have an aunt and grandmother?"

"Yes, she's your grandmother's sister. Back then, your aunt and grandmother had a child with someone else, and then the man ran away, and your aunt and grandmother had no choice but to come down. But an unmarried woman having a child was a great sin in those days, and your grandmother saw that she was pitiful, so she adopted the child. Later, your aunt and grandmother went to the mountains and went to the countryside for decades, and never came back, and I don't know if she was alive or dead. ”

The story of my aunt and grandmother is really embarrassing. In those days, human life was cheaper than dogs, and who knew where it would be scattered after that great migration? What's more, after experiencing such turmoil, how many people are unknown in life and death, and have disappeared from the sight of relatives and friends.

However, when I came back to my senses, I found that my last hope was finally shattered. As the chairman said, my grandmother only has a mother and a daughter, and how can the medical appraisal be fake! Zhang Jingen didn't actually lie.

……

This world is really crazy, I met that man and fell in love with that man, but why did a cousin-sister relationship pop up after going around and around?!

With a full of panic, I finally met the person I wanted to question the most downstairs.

He got out of the BMW, walked over in stride, and got straight to the point: "Grandpa is talking to you again?" ”

The resentment I had held back along the way was finally vented. I said coldly, "Yes, he told me that I am his granddaughter." ”

I locked his eyes, which were still bright in the darkness, and caught only a hint of surprise. This time, I was puzzled, and suddenly it was as if I had been injected with a dose of freshener. He knows?

"Go up and tell me, I'll tell you what's going on." He said he was going upstairs.

I stopped him: "You just say it here, if you don't think you can see anyone, go to the basketball court and say it!" As he spoke, he walked out.

I could only hear his steady footsteps follow, and after standing still, he finally said: "This is Jinrui's trick, you don't have to worry, you are not grandpa's granddaughter." ”

Listening to it so concisely, I said angrily: "Don't spare words like gold, tell me what the hell is going on!" ”

"Jin Rui accidentally found a photo of your grandmother in Grandpa's study, so she revealed your information to Grandpa, saying that there is a girl in the company who looks very similar to the person in the photo. Grandpa excitedly went to the company to meet you the next day. ”

Little by little, memories crossed my mind. I remember that day, Mr. Chen and I went in to report to work. The chairman smiled at me kindly, and I still feel warm when I think of that kindness.

"Later, Jin Rui volunteered to investigate your family's background, and you know that he had just been sent to Southeast Asia at that time, and he was bent on winning his grandfather's trust and favor again. Later, while we were on a business trip to Province H, we did a blood test. When I came back, I was shocked to see the results. I don't believe it's just that coincidental, but it's just a coincidence that we're cousins. After checking, I found out that it was a deliberate forgery by Jinrui. He bribed the doctor who did the appraisal and forged a false certificate. ”

At this moment, my broken heart finally returned to wholeness, but I was still angry and puzzled: "Then you just let him deceive the chairman?" ”

He said with a little sadness: "Do I want to directly debunk it and tell grandpa that this is Jinrui's conspiracy, she is not your daughter, she is someone else's daughter?"

Shu Hua, my grandfather was seventy-seven years old at the time, and he had high blood pressure and coronary heart disease. And your grandmother is a heart disease that he has been unable to let go of for many years, and often sighs at the photos of your grandmother, and the doctor also said that he has been pressing the heart knot for many years, which is not good for his health, so he can relax.

Maybe he was sorry for your grandmother, or sorry for your grandfather's family. But when he knows he has a daughter, you don't know how happy he is. How can I bear to pour cold water on him, how can I bear to wake up his sweet dreams? I also hate Jinrui's opportunism and deliberate pandering, but the wood is already in the boat, how can I bear to break all this? ”

I don't know when tears welled up in my eyes: "Do you want to keep it hidden?" Mom is his daughter, then I am his granddaughter. We were cousins, so what were you going to think about our relationship at that time? ”
