Chapter 58: Do you regret knowing her?
"Who the hell are you? Why do I know my mother's name? I stared at the old man in front of me suspiciously, and asked with difficulty.
My mom, she's someone I've loved and hated for so many years, and I never dared to mention it, but I don't want anyone else to mention it.
Faced with a strange old man kidnapping me, and now mentioning my mother, my mind is full of questions.
The old man didn't say anything, but his face changed slightly, and then he took a picture from his pocket and handed it to me, and I carefully took it.
It was an old, yellowed photograph.
At a glance, I could see that the traditional Chinese characters at the bottom were clearly printed: Taken in December 1989.
There are a lot of people in it, and the background I know, is the most famous Merlion Fountain in Singapore.
Although it was an old photo, I saw at a glance that one of the women was my mother.
In the photo, she looks so innocent and young, like she is in her twenties.
Next to her stood a middle-aged man, both of whom looked gloomy, like two enemies. Although the middle-aged man looked only fifty years old, he couldn't hide his toughness.
The tall and strong man did not have a trace of a smile, and stood in the middle of the photo in a Zhongshan Shanxi suit.
And the tough man in the photo is the white-haired old man standing in front of me.
I don't know what my mom has to do with this man and this group of people, and why she has this expression, but I don't think I'm too happy, and if I'm happy, I must have left a big smile when I take a picture.
The old man probably guessed my question, and he looked at me gloomily and said, "I'm curious about who I am?" I don't like to beat around the bush, I can tell you directly, these young people in the photo are my sons and daughters, Weng Lizhen is my youngest daughter, she ran away from home for 30 years, and finally let me find her daughter and husband, I don't have any interest in you, I just want to find my daughter, give my daughter back to me, and I will let you go. ”
My fingers shaking as I held the picture.
I never knew about my mother's background.
When I was a child, when I saw other people with grandparents, I couldn't stop asking a few times.
But every time I got cold words from my mother, and my mother didn't like me very much, as if my birth disgusted her, and I didn't ask more questions from then on.
But today, many years after my mother abandoned me, an old man suddenly came out and said that it was my grandfather and asked me to hand over my mother.
Facing the old man's cold expression, I also raised my eyes to meet his unwavering eyes: "Just based on a photo, say that my mother has a relationship with you, do you think it is credible?" ”
The old man in front of me was still staring at me with a cold and inexorable expression, he just stretched out his hand, and the image played on the white wall.
The video is nothing more than a lively party, and occasionally my mother will appear and say a few words of "Happy Birthday Dad", but she doesn't have too many shots.
Soon, the old man turned around and said in an indifferent tone: "I didn't expect her to leave Singapore and come here in order to escape from the marriage I arranged for him, I have been looking for her for thirty years, and this time I just want to take my daughter home, as for you and your wasteful father, it is better to stay as far away from my daughter as possible." ”
Listening to the words of the old man, my heart was full of mixed feelings.
Even if they never met again, they all existed with blood kinship in the end, but I couldn't see any affection on the old man's face.
At this moment, I suddenly understood why my mother always spoke coldly to me, probably this is genetic, she has the same eyes as the old man in front of me, which makes people feel cold and even scared when they look at it.
Not to mention that he didn't intend to recognize me, in my heart, I never thought that one day, a white-haired old man would stand in front of me and say it was my grandfather, which was simply ironic to me.
"If you're looking for my mother, then I think you're looking for the wrong person, and I don't know where she is." I coldly rejected him, "She has been away from me for many years, and when I was sixteen years old, she ran away with another man and abandoned me and my dad. ”
The old man's eyes were like a fire burning, as if he could burn me to ashes, he had little patience, and said angrily: "It's very consistent with Li Lusheng's words, don't think that if you know that you have a relationship with the Weng family, you can't live forever, do you think I believe it?" If you don't hand over my daughter, your father won't want to leave here for half a step! ”
Is this a threat? Or is it a warning?
I frowned and shook my head: "Weng family? Hehe, I'm sorry, I may be less knowledgeable and short-sighted, I don't know what the Weng family is, and where did it come from? Even if my mother is your daughter, I have nothing to do with you, what the Weng family is not the Weng family, for me it is no different from the Li family, the Wang family, the Zhang family, and the Chen family. ”
"You ......" the old man's voice trembled with anger when he saw my tone.
Seeing that he was angry, the black-clothed people around him almost became cautious, and even the two people around him didn't dare to take a breath and persuaded: "Master Weng, don't be too angry, pay attention to your body, this is China's Shanghai market, not Singapore, and it is normal for her not to know our J Group." ”
Weng Ye stared at me intently, and after a long time, he turned around and sat on the chair and took a sip of tea: "I will find someone to find out what you and Li Lusheng said, and you can stay here during this period." ”
With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
The remaining black-clothed men surrounded me and said in a stiff voice, "Miss Li, please." ”
I clearly know that I can only do it, here I call the heavens and the earth, even if I resist, there is no possibility of leaving, not to mention that my father is still in their hands.
So I was calmly surrounded by a few men in black and taken to a room upstairs.
They tied my hands and feet and threw my dad into the room in the same way.
Two of the men in black did not leave, but stayed in the house, probably afraid that we would escape.
I looked at it in despair, there were no windows, there was just a door, and I had nowhere to run.
"Xiao En, it's been Dad who has burdened you all these years, Dad thought you didn't care about me anymore, but I didn't expect you to come."
I looked at my dad in a daze, all these years of exploitation and harm to me are vivid, he is like a vampire sucking my stump, these bad memories are not just scattered.
Especially in the first two years, the huge debt pressure almost forced me to have no way out, and it was only after I met Tan Yiyang that my life gradually got on the right track.
No matter what my dad said, I just sat in the corner and looked up at the roof, thinking about those years, and tears couldn't help but tide a little.
When my dad saw that I didn't speak, he also calmed down, and he and I were silent, and no one spoke again.
Finally, in the long night, my dad couldn't help it, and said in a dumb voice: "Xiao En, are you confused about all this today?" Do you have a lot of doubts? ”
"Dad" after a long time, I called out to him in a low voice, "What are you like with my mother?" For so many years, I never dared to ask, I only knew that you were not in a good relationship, but today a man suddenly popped up and said that my mother was her daughter, and he was looking for her daughter, all of which was too unbelievable for me. As for the Weng family and the J Group, these are like a mystery that bothers me. ”
There seemed to be a flash of anger in my dad's eyes, and he quickly responded to me: "As for your mother's background, to be honest, I really didn't know before, and I only found out today." ”
As he spoke, he leaned against the wall and looked up at the roof: "I met your mother when I was working at the docks in Singapore, she was very beautiful, but she was always very melancholy, and she would always be alone at the docks in a daze, and I fell in love with her when I came and went." ”
As he spoke, he smiled: "Later, I learned that the man she liked left her by boat from this pier, but I didn't expect to wait for two years and didn't wait for him to come back, she also told me that she didn't have parents and grew up in a welfare home, when I was ready to return to China after the expiration of my working term, she said she wanted to go with me, wanted to marry me, you know, man, young and vigorous, there was such a sexy and beautiful woman who said she wanted to marry you, so naturally she took her back to China regardless of anything." ”
"Dad, but why do I have the impression that my mother doesn't like me, and you don't have a good relationship?" This question has been swirling in my mind for many years, and today I finally asked it.
"At the beginning of my marriage with your mother, the relationship was not bad, but in the fifth year of marriage, your mother said that she couldn't forget that man and wanted to divorce, but when she wanted to divorce, she found out that she was pregnant with you, and she gave birth to you in desperation, and life just got by."
My dad was still embarrassed when he recalled this past, and sighed: "Because of your appearance, I couldn't get her divorced, she hates you and often speaks coldly to you, I love her, so I accommodate her in everything." Who knows that she still can't get through it, and then she still met the rich man who had left him, she wrote a divorce agreement regardless of it, and left us all by herself, I don't even know who that man is and where he took her. ”
About them between them, for the first time in all these years, I listened to it for the first time, and it made me stunned.
I always thought that my mom left my dad because she felt that he couldn't give her the rich life she wanted, but I never thought that it was because she had another man in her heart.
My heart was heavy and tingling, and at this moment I suddenly felt very sorry for the man sitting across from me.
I don't think he ever wanted to see his woman leave him without hesitation, so he allowed himself to become depressed and indulged in gambling.
Maybe that's how he doesn't think about my mom.
"Do you regret knowing my mother?"
I didn't want to tear the scar on his heart, but I still wanted to know what my dad was like in the face of such a cold-hearted woman.
My dad was silent for a while, and finally stared at me and said, "I regret it, but I don't regret it now, because she gave birth to you for me, and you are my favorite daughter, at least you are still by my side." ”
But at this moment, my chest was blocked very uncomfortable, and I almost broke my heart at him: "I am your favorite daughter?" Then why left me alone for nine years, do you know how I survived alone? Do you know what I'm paying off the millions of debts you owe? I've never seen such selfish parents like you!! ”
