Ji Yunting pursed his lips but smiled silently.

That night, he took the train in Haicheng and returned directly to Suicheng.

Originally, I thought that the time to leave the station was a little late, so I simply found a hotel outside to sleep for one night and then went home the next day.

Thinking of what his adoptive parents had said to him, Ji Yunting dispelled the thoughts in his heart.

Adoptive mother Zhang Xiaohui said to Ji Yunting when he was young: "Child, we will be a family in the future, and you are the son of our Ji family."

Don't get angry with your parents, your parents will raise you well, give you a stable life, and let you live a good life. ”

When Ji Yunting grew up and went out to school and work, Zhang Xiaohui asked for warmth on the phone, and whenever she heard Ji Yunting's return, she would always say happily: "Mom will leave you the door and cook you your favorite meals waiting for you to come back."

It's okay no matter how late it is, Mom is waiting for you! ”

Ji Yunting also treats his adoptive parents as his own parents and is filial to him in his heart.

It's just that the better his adoptive parents treat him, the more he can't suppress his emotions and compare Song Meixin with the two of them.

No contrast, no harm!

Gradually, his hatred for Song Meixin, a ruthless woman, became deeper and deeper, and the more he wanted to forget, the deeper he became.

The Ji family's house is located in the old city of Suicheng, the house is a few years old, and now it seems to be a little old and backward.

But in the 80s, the houses that could build such a large house, and it was in the heart of the city, were rich families.

The Ji family was indeed rich in the 80s, and his adoptive father Ji Congli was the first batch of self-employed households.

Later, the business became bigger and bigger, and the family conditions became better and better, Ji Yunting, as the only son of the Ji family, the Ji family and his wife loved him very much, and naturally lived a good life.

It's a pity that in the mid-nineties, Ji Congli met a group of fraudsters in the business field, and almost all of his life savings were cheated.

Ji Congli was also devastated, and he could no longer raise his heart and energy to start over, so he only relied on the few remaining street shops at home to rent and collect rent, and make ends meet.

Ji Yunting started a company in Kyoto, and after making achievements, he wanted to take the two of them to live in Kyoto, but Ji Congli was conservative and unwilling to leave Suicheng.

Ji Yunting wanted to buy a new house for his adoptive parents in the new city, but his adoptive parents also refused.

Later, it was the adoptive mother Zhang Xiaohui who secretly told her son, saying: "Your father is arrogant, although more than ten years have passed, he has always been haunted by his failures.

The biggest achievement in this life is the once enviable mansion, you let him move out to live, which is equivalent to erasing the former glory, he will definitely not agree.

Besides, this house was designed with great effort and built with good materials, and I am used to living comfortably, so don't worry about the problem of food and accommodation for the two of us. ”

The adoptive mother said so, and Ji Yunting also understood the adoptive father's complex for the house, and after inviting someone to renovate it the year before last, he didn't mention buying a house again.

At this time, it was already half past ten in the evening, and the old town was shrouded in dim light and shadow, looking backward and decadent.

Gone are the bustling night markets, with fewer people than before, except for a few food stalls and snack bars that open for late-night snacks.

Ji Yunting walked through two familiar alleys, and followed the dim street lamps at the mouth of the alley in the direction of his old house.

The door of the courtyard had already been locked, and Ji Yunting knocked on the blackened iron pull more than a dozen times, and finally heard footsteps from the courtyard.

"Who's so late?"

"Mom, it's me, I'm back!" Ji Yunting opened his mouth to answer.

Zhang Xiaohui inside heard that it was her son's voice, her face was happy, she took three steps and made two steps, quickly pulled out the door bolt, and opened the door.

Ji Yunting's tall and straight figure appeared in her eyes like a mountain.

The shadow shrouded from the top of her head, and Zhang Xiaohui, who was originally short, became more and more petite and thin.

"Yun Ting, you kid, why didn't you call your mother in advance when you came back?

Hungry? Mom will make you a supper ......" Zhang Xiaohui hugged her son, patted him on the back and chattered like when she was a child.

Ji Yunting was held by his adoptive mother like this, and an indescribable warmth rose in his heart.

He also bent down and hugged his adoptive mother, and said with a smile: "Mom, I'm not hungry, don't be busy, I'm just passing by on a business trip, thinking of going home to see you and my dad!" ”

"You're here on a business trip? Why don't you stay at home for two days? After Zhang Xiaohui pulled her son into the courtyard, she asked while closing the door.

"I have to fly to Kyoto tomorrow, and the company still has a lot to deal with!" Ji Yunting looked apologetic.

Although Zhang Xiaohui was reluctant to let her son leave so quickly, she thought that her son was for the cause, and she didn't dare to delay, so she said with a smile: "Work is important."

Your dad hasn't slept yet, and I didn't let him drink at dinner, and he's still talking about how I won't read if you drink with you at home.

No, it's all a little bit like this, because I can't sleep because I'm so hungry for alcohol.

It just so happens that when you come back, I'm here to get you two snacks and food, and you can have two drinks with your dad! ”

Ji Yunting heard what his adoptive mother said, so naturally he would not refuse, smiled and said yes, and let his adoptive mother go into the kitchen to work, carrying a large bag of supplements, and went into the hall to talk to his adoptive father.

The two of them had a good chat.

Although Ji Yunting was not born to the two of them, and they never concealed his life experience, they always cared for the child they raised with heart for heart, and the feelings between each other are no longer a blood relationship that can be separated.

Ji Congli drank a few more cups happily, saw that his son had bought so many supplements and came back, waved his hand and asked him not to get these next time, and he didn't pay attention to the leakage, saying that a few days ago, Cousin Song of Haicheng came over and gave a lot, but he didn't eat it.

As soon as Ji Yunting heard Cousin Song, his eyes turned cold.

He guessed that this cousin Song must be Song Meixin.

He wanted to ask his adoptive father what she was doing at home, but his adoptive mother Zhang Xiaohui was very sensitive, and when she heard her wife inadvertently mention sensitive people, she showed a deep expression of obscurity, and reached out and gently twisted it around her wife's waist.

The pain made Ji Congli sober up a little, realizing that he had just lost his mouth, and he was also worried that his son would continue to ask, so he went back to the room to rest under the pretext of being sleepy with alcohol.

Ji Yunting knew from the reaction of the second elder that the questioning was just embarrassing for the two of them, so he simply suppressed his emotions and did not break the casserole to ask to the end.

After lunch the next day, Ji Yunting left a bank card for the two elders, told them to take care of their bodies and left Suicheng by plane.

It's just that before getting on the plane, he entrusted his friend and collaborator Chen Feiyu, who has been helping him do various news investigations, to check on Song Meixin, and he wants to know why people who have not seen or recognized each other for more than 20 years suddenly came to the door!
