129 How to act
After listening to Cheng Zi's father's words, Shen Mo's expression was obviously stunned, and then he slowly turned his head to look at me, and said as if he was very difficult: "Cheng Zi, you were indeed wearing these clothes that day. ”
This is the first step of recognizing, all the evidence is correct, and then the atmosphere in the room is not so relaxed, we are like being immersed in glue, our facial expressions, and even our eyes have slowed down.
"Mr. Shen, thank you." Cheng Zi's father's voice trembled a little, but he still held on and said calmly, "Officially introduce myself, my name is Cheng Siyan, this is Guan Yunzhu, my eldest son, Cheng Mo." ”
Shen Mo sighed, slowly stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Cheng, hello, I'm Shen Mo. ”
Such words made people feel inexplicably heavy, Guan Yunzhu endured tears for a long time and flowed out at once, my palms were sweating from her, she looked at me with tears in her eyes and said, "Cheng Zi." ”
I can't say anything, I don't know how Cheng Zi would react if it was really sitting here. She has been separated from her family for many years, she should have thoughts, maybe crying, maybe angry, but she will definitely not be as calm as me.
Cheng Zi probably didn't know how much damage her suicide had caused to her parents and family.
"Cheng Zi, what do you think?" Although Shen Mo was talking to Cheng Siyan, he had been paying attention to my movements, and when he saw that I was stunned, he couldn't help but remind me.
"I want to know......" I said, my voice shaking, "why did you lose me back then?" ”
My heart is weak, so my hands and feet are cold, and my voice is shaking. I always thought that Cheng Zi had no family, so I didn't care about being Cheng Zi, but I didn't expect that her family would come over.
"At that time, the family business was not good, and the people who offended him had to move every month or so. That time, someone happened to come to the house to collect debts, and I asked you and my brother to hide in the street for a while, but who knew that after a long time, your brother came back alone and said that you were gone. We searched the whole city and couldn't find you. Cheng Siyan said.
When Cheng Mo heard this, his face turned red and white, and finally he didn't say anything.
"Ah Zi, it's okay if you hate your parents, but now that we have found you, no matter what, your parents will pay you back all these years owed you." Guan Yunzhu said.
I looked at Shen Mo and didn't know how to answer at all. Keep acting, I don't have that acting skills, and if I don't act, it's a dead end. It's too late to say anything now, the day I face Cheng Zi, I should have counted this situation. However, in that case, Shen Mo may feel that it would be best for me to replace Cheng Zi and come back.
Now, I have only achieved one of my minimum goals and brought down Fang Jianguo, but I didn't get the money I should have gotten because the company was hollowed out by Qiao Ren.
It's easy to say but not easy to do, because none of the people I face are stupid, and everyone is the sperm of the people.
"Ah Zi, you slowly accept these things." Guan Yunqiu said to me again.
I looked at her, not laughing, not crying, embarrassed to death.
"Don't talk about it yet, let's eat something first." Cheng Mo broke the embarrassment, picked up his mobile phone and said inside, "Are the dishes ready?" ”
Hanging up the phone, Cheng Mo said, "Let's go, the next door has been set up, talk while eating." ”
I'm a little nervous, eating is a small thing, but it can expose a lot of personal habits and tastes. When I looked at Shen Mo, he looked at me and said in a persuasive tone: "Cheng Zi, they are also looking for you very hard, eat a meal first, there is something in my heart that I can't let go, can I say it slowly in the future?" ”
"Will you let me admit it?" I asked him.
Now, in every aspect, I listen to Shen Mo.
"I respect your choice, so I can't give you any advice on this matter." Shen Mo said, "Even if you don't recognize it, it's okay to have a meal with them." ”
I have been imitating Cheng Zi since I entered the door, and when I heard Cheng Mo talking while eating and chatting at the last moment, the anger accumulated in my heart rushed out, and I really substituted myself into the role of Cheng Zi.
"I've made it very clear to Yu Youran that they weren't around when I needed my family the most, and now it's not necessary. I've grown up and don't need to find a guardian for myself. I stood up, "Eat slowly, I'll leave beforehand." ”
My reaction, Shen Mo didn't expect.
Because before he came, he told me that he should first stabilize and look at the Cheng family's practices, if he has to admit it, then admit it, even if he wants to do DNA testing, there will be no problem, everything is with him.
However, no one really stood in Cheng Zi's position to think. No matter what the reason is that the child is lost, it will reappear after more than ten years and recognize it, is this what every child desires?
It's like some orphans in orphanages who can accept the death of their parents much later, but they can't accept that they are still alive. Because you weren't there when I needed it most, and you didn't have to show up again.
"Cheng Zi, your parents have been looking for you, and they have never given up for a day. This time I came to the imperial capital to do business, but also to find you, hoping to do business in every city, and then find your whereabouts. Cheng Mo stood up, "I was the one who lost you, and you were angry with me." ”
I glanced at him and said softly, "Self-righteous." ”
Then I turned around and went out, pushed the door and left.
"Cheng Zi!" Cheng Mo shouted behind me, I ignored him and left directly.
"I'm sorry, I'll take my leave first." Shen Mo panicked, and then the sound of footsteps chased over.
In the elevator, I was still in tears, and Shen Mo was silent beside me all the time. We didn't expect that the first time we met Cheng Zi's parents, it would end like this.
When I got to the car, I really said to Shen Mo with a very rational attitude: "I don't know what's wrong with me, but when I think of me having to confess my relatives for Cheng Zi, I feel very guilty." She's in another world, if she knows this, will she hate me? These loves, these loved ones, should have been hers. ”
"Is it because of guilt that you have an emotional breakdown at the last moment?" Shen Mo asked me.
"Hmm." I replied, "In addition, I am also worried about showing my feet at the dinner table, you know that some things are cultivated since childhood, and it is difficult to change them the day after tomorrow." ”
Shen Mo was silent for a while and said, "I know how you feel, believe me, if Cheng Zi is still alive, he won't be better than you, and he may be more broken than you." Did you see Guan Yunzhu's performance? That kind of crying when they meet is a normal drama for mother and daughter to recognize each other, your collapse should not cause suspicion, if you really feel too uneasy, I will find a time to take you to Cheng Zi's grave in the next few days. ”
"To the grave? Did you bury her in the imperial capital? I asked.
"No, it's in Hong Kong." Shen Mo shook his head and said, "She told me that she likes Hong Kong, and when I have selfish intentions, I think that burying her in Hong Kong can be regarded as an explanation for her relationship with Hua Yuanshu." ”
After that, neither of us spoke, I also thought seriously all the way, and when I got home, I said to Shen Mo: "Okay, I want to have a good chat with Cheng Zi, maybe I will know how to face her parents next." ”
He smiled, put his hands around me, patted me on the back and said, "I know, you'll take care of it, what you're missing now is time." ”
I think so, and that's it.
Shen Mo and I had just arrived home on the front foot, and the doorbell was ringing, and when I opened the door, I saw Cheng Mo. His face was not very good-looking, but he couldn't bear to be angry at me, just stood at the door and looked at me for a while, and finally sighed and said: "Cheng Zi, after you left just now, my mother cried bitterly, I have never seen her so sad." It's not for everyone to lose you, can you give us a chance now to make up for what you owe you all these years? ”
Although he was asking, what he meant was affirmative. Then, without waiting for me to let him in, he stepped into the courtyard and closed the gate with his hand.
Bypassing the shadow wall, I saw Shen Mo standing on the steps in front of the main house, Cheng Mo walked over with a wry smile, took the initiative to shake hands with him and said: "Actually, Cheng Zi follows you, I am still quite relieved, her character should not have suffered much, thank you, Shen Mo." ”
"No, you don't." Shen Mo's suspicious red face flashed, and he said to him, "You always have to give her some time, she either doesn't want to admit it, or she thinks it's too sudden." And in the face of their own family, no one will wear a mask anymore. You see the children in the orphanage, all of them are extremely precocious and sensible, and that's because they have no place to use their temper, and it's useless to use them. Cheng Zi treats you like this, in fact, she really treats you as family. She's never been like this in front of anyone else, except me. ”
I watched Cheng Mo and Shen Mo enter the house, but I didn't want to go in, I walked around the yard, walked to the living room and picked up my mobile phone and prepared to go to Houhai for a turn, even if I went to row a boat, it was better than watching two men discuss myself in embarrassment.
"You don't have to go out and hide from me." When Cheng Mo saw me taking something, he immediately said, "I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know how to be interested, just say a few words to Shen Mo, and leave later." ”
I paused and said, "I'm out on business." ”
"That, Cheng Zi." Cheng Mo stopped me and said, "Recently, Jiang Weiwei and I are grabbing a business, she looks at me in every way unpleasant, the news that you are my sister has also been spread, her new hatred and old hatred will definitely make trouble for you, pay more attention, besides, if you agree, I want to match you with a bodyguard, follow you every day, until I completely destroy the Jiang family, okay?" ”
"Nope." I don't have to think about it, just say no, and then turn around and leave.
Cheng Mo sighed again behind me, and said to Shen Mo: "Thank you for spoiling her, I really didn't expect this stinky girl to have a good life." ”
I didn't listen to them continue to ruffle and went straight out the door.
walked around outside, answered a call from Hua Yuanyan, and chatted a few words. She also asked me about recognizing my parents on the phone, and I briefly said a few words of prevarication, and told her that I really didn't want to admit it, and I didn't think it made sense. She smiled and persuaded me a few words, saying that no matter what, after all, it was her own parents, and at most she would have a temper for a while, don't overdo it, etc.
Hanging up, I wondered if I had gone too far, and of course it turned out to be negative. However, Cheng Mo's close pursuit, Hua Yuanyan's phone call also made me realize a reality, this family must be recognized. The key now is how to recognize it, how to make yourself act like it, and not show flaws.
Moreover, psychologically speaking, I hope to be able to have a good chat with Cheng Zi, as long as I remove the psychological burden to do the following things, the trip to Hong Kong cannot be delayed.
