Chapter 300: Embroidered Shoes
"Did Professor Fang still have Huai'en's belongings or clothes at that time? I asked.
Professor Fang and his wife were even more puzzled when they saw my reaction.
"Xiao Wei! You're ......."
"You may not believe it, but a person I knew before once told me one thing, and the time and place can match the scene when you met Huaien......"
"What?" Before I could finish speaking, the two opened their mouths in surprise at the same time, and said these two words incredibly.
"Whether it's or not, I'm going to check it out right away, so if you still have Huai'en's belongings or clothes when he was a child, I want to take them to the other party to see, this is the best way to confirm!"
"Yes, yes!" Mrs. Fang was shocked and suddenly came back to her senses, nodded in a panic and replied.
"Huai'en's clothes at that time had been soiled by mud and she was lost in the hospital, but I have always kept the embroidered shoes she was wearing at that time, although there was only one, but I think if this incident is true, Huai'en's real parents will definitely recognize it!"
I was overjoyed in my heart, and although this matter was already in my heart, if there was such evidence, it would surely save many doubts.
"Professor Fang, Mrs. Fang, without further ado, I will accompany you back to get it, and I will leave when it is dawn!" The sudden hope made me hardly have to delay for a moment, Huai'en's illness was imminent, and every delay could be an eternal regret.
The old couple nodded in unison, so I went back to the ward to wake up Junsheng, I didn't have time to talk to him in detail, I just told him that I had some urgent business to leave for a day or two, and asked him to take care of Huai Eun.
Junsheng didn't ask much, and nodded silently.
Then he drove Professor Fang and his wife through the night with no fingers in sight, and drove towards his house.
On the way back, Professor Fang told me about the original incident with excitement.
"When we took Huai En to the hospital, after examination, Huai En had a large amount of sewage in his lungs and stomach, causing a serious infection in his lungs. At that time, the medical conditions were still very backward, and the hospital was helpless about Huai'en's situation, so we sent Huai'en to the best hospital in Beijing at that time. ”
However, Huai'en's situation was too serious, and Huai'en was still too young, and the rescue in a few days still had little effect. Thanks to one of your aunt's mentors, he found out about our situation and immediately put us in touch with a colleague of his in the U.S. to arrange for us to go abroad for medical treatment. ”
"So we rushed to the United States again, and finally rescued Huai'en, whose life was on the line, but we also delayed in the United States for four months, when we returned to China with the recovered Wei Lai, and tried various ways to contact Huai'en's real parents, but there was no information."
"After searching for no results, we decided to adopt Wei Lai first, and if there is news in the future, we will send Huai En back. But years have passed, and there has been no news. We all felt that this child had a great fate with us, and for this reason we didn't even want our own child! ”
"Over the years, we have given Huai En all the love, and tried our best to cultivate Huai En to become a talent, so that her life can be out of the ordinary, in fact, we have also done it, Huai En has shown a very high talent in the field of painting, if you further study will be able to make a difference. But I really didn't expect Huai'en to have such a catastrophe......"
Professor Fang spoke eloquently with a deep face, and there was a deep sadness in his old face.
He suddenly cheered up again, looked at me and said with some excitement: "I really didn't expect Mr. Wei to learn about Huai'en's life experience, this may be God's will, it is God who arranged for you to save Huai'en, Huai'en only has this glimmer of hope to live, if Huai'en lives, it can be regarded as a pity for God." Professor Fang's sunken eye sockets slowly flowed out two lines of turbid tears.
The sky is slowly brightening.
I was already waiting at the door when the ticket office at the train station was still open.
The weather forecast calls for a nationwide snowstorm in the next two days, with almost all long-haul flights halted.
I bought a ticket for the earliest train to City A, and calculated the time, and arrived in City A about 20 hours later.
The reason why I went to City A instead of going to Beijing to find Mu Zhongren was because I had already learned that Mu Zhongren and his wife had gone to City A several years ago.
Because the north project of City A was too huge, the group poured a lot of resources into City A, and Mu Zhongren personally presided over the overall situation, and he also successfully sat in the position of chairman of the group because of this project.
I didn't deliberately inquire about this information, for a company as big as Hongji Group, if there is a slight disturbance, the report will be ubiquitous, and it is difficult not to see it.
Sitting on the train and looking at the scenery flying outside the window, I suddenly realized that I had just come full circle, going around and around several times, and finally it was inevitable to return to the place where I came from, everything seemed to be as Professor Fang said, as if everything was just a casual retrospective, but ten years had passed quietly......
When I left with a wounded heart, I thought that I would never come back in this life and this life, but I ignored that life is like duckweed, and it is never up to us to come and go.
When he left, his heart was empty, but when he returned, he was filled with the world.
Time is like water, too hurried, only those memories that are not forgotten are packed into the backpack on their shoulders.
When we think about it inadvertently, we find that those years are like yesterday, and the people in the time are either scattered to the ends of the world or separated by yin and yang, and have long become untouchable wounds.
Looking at the marks on the car window glass that had been imprinted by the years, I felt strange in a trance.
The Buddha said that everything has cause and effect, and all encounters have a fate, all of which are held together by an invisible thread.
I was suddenly confused, and I couldn't help but wonder, when did this thread start? Did I accidentally buy that train ticket to Tibet? Or was it a long time ago when I casually passed by Lakeside Park? Or was it that the wheel of fate had already arranged my whole life at the moment of my birth?
After a day and a night of slow journey, I never closed my eyes for a moment, and the tiredness accumulated over the days did not make me feel the slightest sleep, and although my eyes were sore and my throat was bitter, I still could not sleep for a moment.
The train finally arrived in City A the next afternoon, and the city was still the same as before, except that it was a little newer than I remembered.
Although it is located in the south, it still has not escaped the shroud of clouds, and the depressed people are faintly uneasy.
I glanced at the time, and it was past four o'clock in the afternoon. I flagged down a taxi and told the master to go to the Cuiweiju villa complex.
I think since Mu Zhongren came to City A, there is a high probability that he will live in his villa. I don't want to meet Mu Zhongren head-on in my heart, although I don't want to mention what he did to me at the beginning, but we will not forget that incident, and it is inevitable that we will respond to each other when we meet.
As for Mu Xichun, I don't want to see her even more, for no other reason, just because we already have our own lives for each other, and there is no way to change some things when they happen, rather than seeing each other again, it is better to leave regrets in my heart and not disturb each other is probably the best way.
So I'm going to meet with Mrs. Mu only, and if I can confirm it, I'll give her the address and let them go on their own, and as for my appearance, it's best if she can hide it for me, and I've even thought of other ways for her to know about it. If not, it's up to her.
As I expected, there were only Mrs. Mu and a group of servants in the villa.
I rang the doorbell, and a moment later a servant opened the door. When I appeared in front of Mrs. Mu, she was obviously stunned, she first frowned, and then suddenly looked surprised. I knew she recognized who I was, even though I was now unrecognizable.
After many years, she has not changed much, her skin is still as white as jade, casual and elegant, as if time has not left the slightest mark on her face.
"Mrs. Mu, long time no see!" I smiled politely.
"You're ......," she seemed trying to figure out what to call me from memory.
"My surname is Wei, and my name is Wei Jinsheng!" I gave her the answer.
"Mr. Wei, are you ...... Can I help you? Her tone was confused, and there was a subtle dodge in my eyes.
"Mrs. Mu, can we find a place to talk?" I tried to keep my tone as flat as possible, but my heart was already overturned, because the moment I saw her, I suddenly felt that Huai En was extremely similar to her in some places, which made me even more convinced of Huai En's background.
"Oh, good, good!" Her tone was visibly unsmooth.
A big man appeared in the living room when she said to Mrs. Mu, "Madam, are you going?" I'll go with you if you want to go! ”
Dahan glanced at me with a vigilant look in his eyes when he spoke, I think he should be Mu Mansion's bodyguard, and I think about it, what kind of identity Mu Zhongren is now, it is normal to hire bodyguards to protect his family.
Mrs. Mu got up and took the bag and said, "No need, I'm fine!" Lao Chen is going to drive, and none of the rest of you should follow! He made a gesture of please.
The housekeeper named Lao Chen drove me and Mrs. Mu to a café outside the villa, and the housekeeper wanted to accompany him in, but was persuaded by the owner to leave.
Mrs. Mu and I entered the café and found a hidden corner to sit in.
Mrs. Mu called the waitress and ordered two cups of coffee, and although she looked elegant and calm, I could still feel the panic in her heart.
I remained silent, thinking in my mind how to speak.
Seeing that I had been silent, Mrs. Mu was obviously uncomfortable.
"Mr. Wei, I know that what we did wrong before has made you suffer a lot of grievances, in fact, my father has always regretted it all these years, although he never said it, but I can see it!" She finally couldn't stand the embarrassing silence and was the first to speak.
I felt a faint stir in my heart to hear her continue.
"Over the years, he has been sending people around to inquire about your whereabouts, wanting to give you some compensation, but he has never heard from you......"
My heart suddenly became cold, he would regret it? Inquire about my whereabouts? Compensate? It's easy to say, my life has been completely turned upside down by him, what should he compensate for?
"So Li Liang is a nail he planted next to me, so the loss of Xichun's passport was also secretly arranged by him, right?" I asked lightly.
Mrs. Mu was silent, and there was gradually some moisture in her eyes.
She sniffed and said in a trembling tone: "You can hate her, this is what he has to bear, and he has been punished for this!" Xichun has completely broken with us since that incident, and for so many years, she has never taken the initiative to appear in front of us, and has never called us parents again......" She couldn't say any more, covering her mouth and trying to control her emotions.
My heart trembled unconsciously slightly, and that trace of a shadow appeared in my mind, a wound that had been hidden for a long time, and was inadvertently poked.
It took me a while to slowly speak, and although I had been mentally restraining the question, I couldn't help but ask.
"Cherish Spring...... Is she okay? ”
Mrs. Mu was teary-eyed when I asked, she shook her head lightly, and she was speechless.
It was a long time before she finally calmed down, and her voice became a little errformed from the tears that had just flowed.
She raised her head and looked at me with burning eyes: "Mr. Wei, you are back now, do you still have a cherished spring in your heart?" She asked, with something in her tone that I couldn't catch.
I was stunned in my heart, and hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand Mrs. Mu, I came here to find you this time, and I want you to confirm one thing!" ”
I changed the subject, I was afraid that she would misunderstand my intentions and go further and further.
"Looking for me? What is Mr. Wei looking for me? She asked, confused.
I looked at her and said to her with a very serious expression: "Mrs. Mu, I have something to show you, please cheer up, no matter what you see, you must be calm!" "I think it's better to give her some foreshadowing, I'm afraid this thing will be too shocking for her, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it for a while.
Mrs. Mu's expression was even more puzzled, and the uneasiness in her doubts appeared again.
I opened the package, took out the embroidered shoe and placed it in front of her......
