Chapter 64: Tangled
The night was slightly cool, Chen Shuyun sat in front of the window with an old photo, all these years she had time to inquire about the whereabouts of the child, except for listening to the old neighbor back then, she said that she left in a black car, and there was no other, as if she disappeared out of thin air.
Think about it, she is now an adult, but she doesn't know if she can belong emotionally, I don't know how she has been doing these years?
Raised his hand to wipe the dampness from the corners of his eyes, glanced at the time next to him, hurriedly put away the photo, turned his face to look at the family photo on the side, and thought about Liu Shu, the child is also old, and it is time to think about lifelong events.
Thinking about it for a while, I should let Lao Liu talk more about him, but I heard a "bang" behind me and then the sound of men's leather shoes hitting the floor, it really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived!
"Aunt Chen, my dad isn't here, right?"
Liu Shu stepped forward with a large bouquet of tulips with a smile, glanced in the direction of the study and said.
"He went to a neighboring city for a seminar two days ago and should be on his way now, why does Liu Shu have something to find him?"
Chen Shuyun took the flower in Liu Shu's hand and smiled, I have to say that he is a careful child, and every time he comes back, he knows to bring a bouquet of flowers to her, and he turned around and carefully put it into the vase and said.
Suddenly thinking of Liu Shu's mother, who hadn't seen Liu Shu recently, he turned around and asked, "By the way, Liu Shu, why hasn't your mother been playing cards recently, is it the old problem of back pain again?" ”
Liu Shu sat down on the sofa disappreciably and said, "It should be okay, Aunt Chen, I've been living in the company recently, so you don't have to worry about my mother." ”
What Liu Shu didn't say was that he was forced by his mother to have no choice but to go to live in the company, and that time when he went home, he didn't always watch a group of girls he didn't know and then was forced by his mother to go on a date, he was just fed up.
"You guys, when you grow up, you always dislike us and don't want to go home, how do you know that those of us who are parents can't even find any other hobbies in addition to annoying you at this grade, Liu Shu has time to go back to accompany her more."
Chen Shuyun handed Liu Shu a cup of hot tea to sit down next to him, patted his arm playing with his mobile phone, and said earnestly, at this age, she realized how lonely it was to have no children around her, and saw those wives busy with their children's lifelong events.
She really misses that child, what if she didn't have a thought to leave her behind and endure those hardships, people only think about themselves when they are young, and they don't think about going out for a walk, but they don't think about countless regrets at a certain age.
I used to always think about waiting, and when she grew up, she might be able to understand her choice, but she didn't want to see each other again.
"Aunt Chen, there is something I want to tell you in advance, don't be too excited."
Liu Shu held the mobile phone and looked at Aunt Chen beside him hesitantly, she has treated him more than her own son over the years, he knows that this family relationship contains another one, and he also knows the longing that Aunt Chen has quietly hidden over the years.
So he secretly inquired that it was none other than Ling Hao and their father and son who took Lin Xiran away back then, and it was rumored that Chairman Ling had adopted a little girl many years ago and would be trained to become the future young lady of the Ling family.
Therefore, Lin Xiran is very likely to be in City A now, and he plans to leave for City A early tomorrow morning.
"You, you will tease Aunt Chen one day, unless you conjure up a big grandson for me now, I will definitely accept other things."
Chen Shuyun squinted and smiled, glancing at the time from time to time, thinking that Lao Liu hadn't come back yet, but he was afraid that Liu Shu, the child, would be hungry after a busy day.
"Aunt Chen, I found out that it was my classmate who took Lin Xiran away back then, and I plan to go to City A early tomorrow morning to try it."
With a "snap", the tea bowl in Chen Shuyun's hand fell to the ground, this is her favorite set of blue and white porcelain, I saw her eyes stunned in place.
Liu Shu hurriedly took a towel to wipe the tea on her hand, and looked at the tea bowl that broke into three petals on the floor with distressed eyes, which was specially ordered by the old man on Aunt Chen's birthday.
"Liu Shu! Are you upsetting Aunt Chen again, look at the tea all over the ground! ”
Before Liu Shu had time to clean up, he saw his father, who was carrying a briefcase with an angry face, stepped forward, sighed helplessly, and turned around to get tools to clean up.
"Shuyun, what's wrong with you? Liu Shu, this kid is really getting more and more ignorant. ”
Liu Shu, who had just arrived in the kitchen, heard the sentence on the sofa behind him, and shook his head helplessly, in the eyes of the old man, his son was definitely picked up, and he accused him indiscriminately every time.
But fortunately, he has always had Aunt Chen's pain, so even if the old man was angry, he didn't dare to show too much, and suddenly thought about what those teachers and professors should laugh like if they knew that the old man who had always had a cold face was like this in front of Aunt Chen?
took a rag and stepped forward to the old man and said, "Okay, you hurry upstairs to change your clothes, it's not that Aunt Chen is hungry when you come back so late." ”
Seeing that the two fathers and sons were glaring at each other, Chen Shuyun had eased up at this time, turned her face to the old man and said, "Go, Liu Shu should be hungry after a busy day outside." ”
Listening to his wife's sudden words, Liu Minghai couldn't stare at the stinky boy anymore, and hurriedly took the briefcase and walked upstairs.
Seeing Liu Minghai upstairs, Chen Shuyun said with joy on her face: "Liu Shu, can that auntie go with you?" ”
She didn't have to think about anything with Xiran, she just hoped to see her and see if she was doing well, after all, she couldn't wait to leave at this time after so many years.
"Aunt Chen, don't you feel at ease when I go, if I really find Xiran, I will definitely bring her to see you."
Liu Shu patted the back of Aunt Chen's hand soothingly, and said, turned around and glanced in the direction of the bedroom on the second floor, thinking about it for so many years, whether the old man really didn't know about Aunt Chen's affairs or fake, somehow there was no movement at all.
I'm really worried that this old man will be awkward with Aunt Chen because of his stubbornness, and I don't know what Aunt Chen is planning.
Anyway, at this time, it is better to appease everyone, he will go to see Xiran first, after all, after so many years, I don't know if she is still not the little girl who is huddled in the corner, neither humble nor arrogant, thinking back to the unspeakable guilt in my heart back then.
At this time, Lin Xiran also inadvertently found such a yellowed old photo from the bookshelf, and I don't know if this woman is doing well now, and whether she has worried about her resignation over the years.
I still remember that my grandmother always persuaded her to try to forgive, but now she can really forgive everyone and tolerate everything, but my grandmother is gone, so I miss the dilapidated old building, and miss the windows of their house that are always glued with adhesive tape.
At that time, the sky was always so blue, and they were so poor that they had to save for a long time to buy a fan, but even then she had a home and a grandmother who loved her deeply.
Now she is full of famous brands, lives in the apartment that many people dream of, commutes to work and drives a car that she couldn't think of before, the spacious house brings her only loneliness, and the status of an executive will only make her more stressed and careful everywhere.
Now she has no home and no family, just like the fallen leaves that rise with the wind in autumn, except for drifting or drifting.
"Ding Ding, please check if you have a new email."
The prompt sound of the mailbox interrupted Lin Xiran's mood, put away the yellowed photo, got up and poured a glass of red wine first, and then went to the computer, looking at the new news from Linda, Lin Xiran raised his eyebrows.
Now that Ling Hao is abroad, she hesitates to tell him the news, or she can talk to Xu Mo about it, maybe there is a turning point in this matter, but the question is, in what capacity should she talk about it?
Director of Ling's Planning Department? It's still an old classmate who hasn't been in touch for many years, and the fact is that these two identities are not suitable between them.
But what should she do if she watched this happen and was ashamed of Uncle Ling's trust in her?
Early the next morning, Lin Xiran stayed in the chairman's office on the top floor of the Ling family early, learning from Uncle Ling's usual appearance of washing and waking up tea over and over again, and sure enough, his heart was a lot calmer.
"What problems did the Xiran girl come to me so early?"
Chairman Ling pushed open the door and looked at Lin Xiran, who looked in front of the tea case, and said, in the past, he always thought that this little girl could come to him or throw him some problems, but this girl was very stubborn and handled it in an orderly manner, both in work and life.
This is a bad old man, he doesn't even have a chance to help the little rabbit cub chase his daughter-in-law, his father is really a failure, and now the girl takes the initiative to ask for advice.
"No, it's just that I suddenly missed Uncle Ling's tea last night, and I came early in the morning."
Lin Xiran smiled and handed a bowl of tea to Chairman Ling, watching him drink it expectantly, and then talking about the purpose of her coming.
"Girl, it's true that it's much quieter than before, but this thing in my heart is still there, and I don't participate in the affairs of your young people, we only drink tea."
Chairman Ling took a sip of the tea in the teacup, then poured the rest of the tea on the tea pet and said, boiling the water again and making a pot of kung fu tea.
He muttered to himself in a serious voice: "Since it is kung fu tea, it should be calm and orderly, so that everything can be done without being in a hurry or impatience, and young people should not be in a hurry." ”
Listening to Uncle Ling's words, Lin Xiran fell into deep thought, maybe that matter can be put aside again and wait for Ling Hao to come back and grasp the substantive things, otherwise I am afraid that it will implicate Xu Mo at this time.
Even if Xu Mo is small, he will be startled, but he should put a long line to catch a big fish, but Lin Xiran is not Chairman Ling after all, and her vision pattern can't do that.
This is exactly what she is worried about, if the long line is released but the fish is also lost, the loss will not be able to make up, and there is still no solution to it.
"Girl, drink tea, by the way, I went to drink yesterday and heard that a person in the government department has been inquiring about you before, girl, can you be such a relative?"
Chairman Ling replaced the teacup with a bowl, re-poured it to seven points, and then placed it in front of Lin Xiran, asking lovingly with his eyes.
This child has had a serious illness since she entered the Ling family, and after being discharged from the hospital, she was cautious in everything, and her sensitivity was so sensitive that he, an elder, did not dare to investigate a thing or two, and tried not to talk about her previous life in front of her.
