Chapter 566: Father
Hua Tingshen had no choice but to explain, "He has cancer, time is running out, the doctor said, he may die at any time, I know you probably don't want to see him, but I just want to give you a chance to choose, and he, he also wants to come and see where you grew up before he dies." ”
“……”
Hua Ting saw that she was silent, so he had to hold her face and ask seriously, "You really don't want to see him, do you?" ”
Lu Yao hesitated for a long time before shaking his head with difficulty.
"Actually, I don't know, I don't hate him, but to be honest, I don't have any feelings for him, I can't imagine it until now, he is my father, I don't know what I can say when I see him, I don't know, I don't know, whether he wants to see me."
"You don't have to force yourself, and things may not be as complicated as you think, you just need to follow your inner thoughts, I won't force you, no one will."
Lu Yao hesitated for a long time, but finally made up her mind, "You're right, maybe things aren't as complicated as I imagined, maybe, I should meet him." ”
……
The day of the meeting was set for a week later, and at that time, Cheng Xiaodong's role was not too rushed, Lu Yao specially took a few days off, and came to the welfare home with Hua Tingshen early in the morning.
But Hua Tingshen didn't follow up, and before getting out of the car, he held Lu Yao's face and said gently, "I think you may need some alone time, I'll wait for you here." ”
Lu Yao was moved by his carefulness and thoughtfulness, and couldn't help but redden, "Thank you." ”
Hua Ting kissed her forehead deeply, and coaxed, "Don't be nervous, go ahead, I'm here." ”
Lu Yao nodded, I don't know why, Hua Tingshen's hug and kiss easily soothed her restless and nervous heart, and she took a deep breath, she strode into this most familiar place.
At this time, Yi Xiao was in a daze in the courtyard alone in a wheelchair, and when he heard Lu Yao's footsteps, he slowly turned around.
When he saw that it was Lu Yao, a touch of joy flashed across his face, which was the happiness from the heart when a person was about to die and his last wish was fulfilled.
Lu Yao tried to convince herself to be calm, she slowly walked behind the old man and put her hands on her wheelchair.
"Shall I push you to go?"
"Okay, thank you!"
Although Yi Xiao was pleased, he did not lose his demeanor.
Then the father and daughter walked through the yard like this.
The people in the welfare home were very friendly to Yi Xiao, Lu Yao thought, Hua Tingshen's arrangements must be very thorough, if it was known, Yi Xiao was the mastermind behind the fire back then, I am afraid it would never be the situation in front of him.
She didn't speak, and Yi Xiao didn't take the initiative to break the silence.
It wasn't until the two father and daughter passed by the big house that caught fire that Yi Xiao signaled her to stop.
"This is the place where I first met you, when you were only five years old and only a very small body......"
Lu Yao didn't speak, she really didn't know what to say.
Yi Xiao continued: "I met your mother on the black market, she was abducted and sold as a slave, I bought her, I thought it was a fate arranged by God, but later I learned that from the beginning, it was a bureau set up by her. ”
"She is ICPO, Interpol, and my family and I are the shadowy world of opposites, but at that time I didn't know anything, I just knew, I fell in love with her, and then we had you, and when we first learned of your existence, we were all happy, but this happiness was too short-lived, and soon, her identity was revealed, and before a transaction, of course, they called ' 'Closing the net', the Yi family and several other families united and forced me to kill her, because she, the Yi family and several families all suffered heavy losses, at that time I knew that the happiness in front of me was just an illusion, but I was reluctant to kill her, I used a pair of legs in exchange for the opportunity to 'execute' her with my own hands, yes, it was me, I threw her into the sea with my own hands, but I had secretly sent someone to drop the life jacket, I believed from the bottom of my heart that she could live, but unfortunately I lost my legs later, and I also fell from the highest altar of the Yi family, Became a complete waste. ”
"It wasn't until half a year later that I had the opportunity to inquire about her whereabouts, I really didn't misread her, she really survived, she was rescued by a nun on a passing merchant ship, that nun was Delan, she brought her here, and then gave birth to you, but unfortunately, her body was still too weak after all, and when she gave birth, she didn't survive it, I wanted to find you earlier, but the Yi family had changed at this time, and I had a chance after five years."
"When I first saw you here, you were only as tall as my calf, you are really like your mother, to be honest, I am not without compassion, but in the Yi family, after all, it is still a boy who is more useful, so I chose him and asked him to set that fire......"
"Now it seems that the only thing that is most correct in my choice of him is that he will let you go."
Speaking of this, Yi Xiao couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly, "Lu Yao, I begged Hua Tingshen to bring you to see me, not to ask for your forgiveness, because I know that I don't deserve to be forgiven by you, I just want to die, I want to see you, and have a few words in my heart with you, I have done a lot of evil in my life, and I am neither worthy of being a son, nor a husband, nor worthy of being a father, but what I want to tell you is that I have loved you, and I have loved your mother, and I have also regretted it, but unfortunately, time cannot be turned back, maybe the fall of the Yi family is my retribution, I gave up my wife and daughter for money and power, I raised a vicious wolf with my own hands, and I ended up even burying myself in his hands, this is my retribution. ”
"God can let me see you again before I die, it's already a great favor, I am really satisfied to see you live well, you have Hua Tingshen now, even if I die, I can still look at it......"
"Then can you tell me why you set me on fire back then?" Lu Yao interrupted him with a slight chok, his eyes full of mockery, "Do you know, if it weren't for his thoughts, maybe I would have really died back then, at the hands of my biological father, and what's even more ridiculous is that you killed me twice!" ”
"I'm sorry ......"
Speaking of this, Yi Xiao buried his head in frustration.
He had no shame to face Lu Yao's questioning, because that was the evil he had done, he had nothing to say and nothing to explain.
Lu Yao took a few deep breaths to calm down, and after a long pause, she said lightly, "It's okay, in fact, I don't hate you, I also know that you have repented, I just, I really don't know how to face you......"
Yi Xiao nodded lightly, he understood that if Lu Yao could come to see him, he would already forgive him in his heart.
Seeing that his condition was really not very good, Lu Yao asked worriedly, "Can you still hold on?" Would you like to go back to your room and take a break? ”
Yi Xiao immediately shook his head when he heard this, "No need, I don't need to rest." ”
Lu Yao knew that he didn't want to waste his limited life, so he didn't force it, and after a pause, she asked tentatively, "Then do you want to go and see Mother Teresa?" ”
"May I?" Yi Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up with two flames of hope.
Lu Yao nodded, "Yes, I'll send you over." ”
The two of them left the car of the welfare institute and came to the cemetery.
When Yi Xiao saw Sister Teresa and the tombstone of Lu Zheng next to him, his whole eyes suddenly turned red.
He slowly paddled the wheelchair over, reaching out and gently caressing the yellowed stone tablet, his expression as gentle as if he had seen his beloved lover.
Lu Yao was a little puzzled, obviously this Lu Zheng was the incarnation of 'Yi Zhen', he didn't exist at all, and he didn't die, why did Yi Xiao react so much when he saw this tombstone.
Yi Xiao seemed to be able to read minds at this time, and explained without looking back, "It's Lu Zheng, when I left, Delan hinted to me that when she died, Ah Yu would be next to her, and she would be here." ”
What the??
Miss Rong Family...... That is, her mother, her ashes, have always been buried in the welfare home in the name of 'Lu Zheng'??
So whether it was the clothed mound in the back garden at the beginning, or the tomb under the guise of 'Lu Zheng', it was actually the tomb of her biological mother?!
