At noon that day, when "Yidian Hot Pot" was open, an uninvited guest came to the store.

This is an old man with gray hair. Although he is not tall, he is in good spirits.

He was slightly chubby and wore a brown plaid shirt with a pair of gray shorts underneath, and his leather shoes were shiny from the polish.

Although the old man's clothes are not expensive on the whole, he feels very capable.

I saw that after the old man entered the store, under the greeting of Wang Guang, he ordered a hot pot unhurriedly, but somehow, the burst of fragrant aroma after the hot pot came up did not seem to arouse the old man's appetite, so he never had the intention of moving.

What is strange is that the old man's eyes are tightly locked on Ye Cheng, who is busy in the store.

Seeing that the guests here have left table after table, but the old man has no intention of leaving. Hours had passed since the food was served, and he still hadn't taken a bite.

Originally, Wang Guang didn't notice the abnormality of this old man at first, but seeing that there were more and more guests, and the old man's position here still hadn't been given up, Wang Guang's heart was already secretly anxious.

So, Wang Guang reached out and pulled Zhao Wen, who had just come to the store today to help:

"Awen, look at the old man over there, it's been two hours, why don't you eat a bite? It stands to reason that the taste in our store must not be said, but ......"

Following Wang Guang's line of sight, Zhao Wen also discovered the old man's abnormality.

But the old man didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, but even so, the store couldn't stop him from sitting there all the time, after all, there were other customers.

However, Zhao Wen, who has always been calm, only comforted Wang Guang:

"This gentleman is really weird. But don't go over yet, I'll go back and talk to Ah Cheng about this. ”

With that, he turned around and went into the back kitchen. At this time, Ye Cheng was busy boiling water. Zhao Wen stepped forward directly and said:

"Ah Cheng, there's an old gentleman in our shop. Wang Guang and I both thought he was weird. It's been a few hours now, and the guests are still waiting outside. Why don't you go over and see what happens? ”

Ye Cheng understood, so he nodded, beckoned Zhao Wen and Wang Guang to go and do something else, and walked over to the strange old man who would be there for a while.

"Hello, old gentleman, I'm the director here. Is the food on our side not to your taste? ”

But after listening to Ye Cheng's words, the old gentleman didn't say much, but still stared at him by himself.

Such a naked gaze is too weird, and there is a different kind of fanaticism in the middle, which makes Ye Cheng, a big man who has lived for twenty or thirty years, feel cold on his back.

"Excuse me, did you come to me on a special trip? But I don't know you! ”

Ye Cheng tried hard to force himself to get rid of that strange feeling, and his long-term work allowed him to cultivate a good professional quality, and he still faced this strange old man with a smile.

Gradually, the old gentleman's gaze changed from exploration eagerness to deep consternation, and his eyes widened.

The old gentleman's expression made Ye Cheng faintly infer in his heart: he must have a great relationship with this person.

Before Ye Cheng could think clearly, the old gentleman's words startled him:

"Have you forgotten something? Young master, do you remember the Gu family in the capital? ”

At this moment, Ye Cheng's brows tightened.

What "capital"? What "Gu Jia"? What "young master"? The old gentleman's words made Ye Cheng fall into deep contemplation, and remembered the Ma Ning who had a two-sided relationship with him not long ago.

I remember that at the beginning, Ma Ning kept calling himself Gu Shaolai, and said that he had helped him.

Could it be that he is really from the Gu family? Ye Cheng fell into a deep mystery, as if a thick haze shrouded in front of his eyes made him unable to distinguish the direction ahead.

Ye Cheng couldn't help but start wondering, what was his identity before he lost his memory? Why are you now stranded in City B, thousands of miles away?

And who sent the men who were chasing him at that time?

All this, Ye Cheng thought about it, but he still couldn't figure it out.

Looking at Ye Cheng's tightly furrowed brows and dazed and helpless expression, the old gentleman spoke again:

"Young Master, I'm Uncle Fu! Uncle Fu, who watched you grow up since childhood! You really don't remember me at all? ”

After hearing this, Ye Cheng was at a loss, he just shook his head, but from the words of this old gentleman, he intuitively felt that the other party did not lie to him.

For Ye Cheng, the past is like a big mystery. I really want to figure out what my past self was like, but I don't know where to start. In a hurry, Ye Cheng didn't hide it:

"I didn't understand what you were saying, old gentleman. To tell you the truth, for some reason, I couldn't remember a lot of things in the middle. But since I woke up. It has always been in City B. ”

Ye Cheng's words set off turbulent waves in the old man's heart:

"Young Master. Do you really have amnesia? ”

Before he finished speaking, the old gentleman's red eyes burst out with rolling tears, which smashed on his arm in large quantities, continuous and surging.

At this time, Ye Cheng's hands were being vigorously grasped by this person who claimed to be "Uncle Fu":

"My poor young master, you have suffered all this time! Do you know that the old lady in the family is seriously ill, and the old man is also talking about you all the time! ”

"Since you disappeared, the lord has sent many people to look for you in various places, and some have even fled abroad.

"But how easy is it to find you?" It's like looking for a needle in a haystack! ”

"Still, God is merciful. Hard work pays off, God must have seen our sincerity, so I can meet you again! ”

Uncle Fu's words made Ye Cheng even more surprised, there were many mysteries enveloping Ye Cheng at this moment, so he couldn't help but ask:

"Uncle Fu, how did you find me?"

Uncle Fu wiped a handful of tears vigorously and choked up:

"Young master, this time it's thanks to that pony from the 'Glorious Group'."

Seeing that Ye Cheng still had a question on his face, Uncle Fu was patient and explained to him carefully:

"It was Ma Ning, the manager of the business department of the 'Korn Ferry Group', who came to me and said that he had received your help when he went to the shareholders' meeting several years ago."

"Oh, it was him!"

Ye Cheng recalled the manager who helped them out of the supermarket when he and Ye Jingshu went to buy silk quilts.

Later, they did meet again, but they just met in Pingshui, and they didn't know each other.

"I had a two-sided relationship with that gentleman. The last time we met, he also told me about the Gu family in the capital. Unfortunately, I don't really have any impressions. ”

"I've forgotten a lot about the past. But thanks to Manager Ma, I was able to meet you. ”

"Not really! Young master, if he hadn't specially entrusted someone to the Gu family to bring us news, the master wouldn't have known that you have suffered so much in City B now. ”

"Young Master, how are you doing lately?"

Listening to Uncle Fu's words, Ye Cheng's heart was very warm:

"I've been doing well lately, but can you please not call me 'young master'? I don't remember anything about the past. So, my past is a blank slate. ”

Ye Cheng's words made Uncle Fu in a dilemma:

"But, young master, don't you really plan to go back? The lord and the lady are waiting for you at home, and in the months that you have been missing, the lord has not been able to eat or sleep! ”

"They are looking forward to your return day and night. Now the lady is sick. Young master, I won't tell you, this time, the old man, I came to look for you, just hoping that you could go back with me. ”

When Ye Cheng heard this, his heart sank to the bottom. Thinking of his family's illness, he blurted out with deep worry:

"That lady...... Oh no, I ...... How is my mother, now? Is your body a little better? ”

When Uncle Fu heard this, his worried heart relaxed:

It seems that the young master really cares about his family. Then this time, the young master is likely to return home with him, and it is not in vain that he has traveled thousands of miles here to find him.

Thinking of this, a chrysanthemum bloomed on Uncle Fu's face, and the whole person's spirit seemed to be much better:

"Young master, don't worry, Madame's health is fine, and the family doctor will go over to see her every day. But Madame, she really misses you. Come back with me this time! ”

Although Ye Cheng had already been mentally prepared for the arrival of this day. But every night, he is always extremely glad that he has not been found by others, and he can stay with Xiao Maotuan for one more day.

Everything here: the people he knew, the things he went through, the things he fought with his friends......

All of this is like the most beautiful paintings, engraved in Ye Cheng's life and cannot be erased.

But now, Uncle Fu suddenly said that he wanted him to leave everything behind and return to that strange place, how could he be willing?

Thinking of this, Ye Cheng refused without thinking:

"I'm sorry, but I appreciate your kindness. But I really can't go back to you right away. I still have a lot of work on my hands. ”

When Uncle Fu heard this, a wisp of disappointment welled up in his heart:

"Young Master, I can understand your feelings. After all, you've been here for so long, so there's a lot of stuff you can't give up. However, I hope you can take care of these things and go back again. ”

After Ye Cheng listened to Uncle Fu's words, although he didn't say much, he really wanted to know what he was like in the past. So he slowly opened his mouth:

"Uncle Fu, can you tell me what I was like before I came here? What is the situation in my family? ”

"Also, I'm really curious, why did I wake up with a lot of injuries in the hospital?"

Uncle Fu's face changed greatly when he heard this:

"What! Master, are you injured? ”

Ignoring anything else, Uncle Fu immediately stood up hurriedly and carefully looked at Ye Cheng from top to bottom.

"Young Master, are you healed from your injuries now? Is there any major problem? ”

"Don't worry, the wounds on your body have long been healed. But I don't know who stabbed me. I only remember dimly seeing a couple of men in black with knives before I passed out......"

Ye Cheng's answer made Uncle Fu so frightened that he almost lost his soul:

"Ah, young master, you actually suffered a knife wound! Who is it that has so lost your conscience that you should be put to death? Do you remember what the people who stabbed you looked like? ”

Ye Cheng pinched his swollen and painful temples hard, and his mind was in chaos.

After a long time, he shook his head, with a hint of confusion in his tone:

"I can't remember. They were all masked, and I didn't even know who was chasing me. ”

"However, Uncle Fu, since you are so familiar with me, do you know who I had a grudge with before the accident?"

Uncle Fu fell into thought, and after a long time, he seemed to remember something, but then his eyes were full of confusion and disbelief:

"How so? It shouldn't be......"

"What shouldn't you? Uncle Fu, do you know anything? Hurry up and tell me! ”

I only heard Uncle Fu sigh:

"Alas, all iniquity! Young Master, although you don't remember the past, you are indeed the young owner of the Gu family in the capital. ”

"Our Gu family is a famous family in the capital. Young master, you are young and promising, and since you came back from studying abroad a few years ago, you have single-handedly taken over the master's company. Although it has not been a long time, the company's performance has doubled! ”

"Two years ago, since the Second Young Master came back, some of the work in your hands was divided and handed over to the Second Young Master."

"Oh? Second young master? He's my brother? Where did he go before? ”

I saw that Uncle Fu wanted to speak and stopped:

"Young master, you don't know anything about this. The second young master is the long-lost son of the old man, and his half-brother. ”
