"Girl, if you have time to accompany your Aunt Li (Li Shunjuan) for your father, she is also alone now, I think, she needs your company and explanation very much. Over the years, after all, I have failed her. ”

Lin Kongkong was stunned for a moment when he heard his father ask him to call Li Shunjuan Aunt Li, knowing that Lin Kongkong had always called her mother.

When she was in the Ji family, because Lin Kongkong was Ji Mengmeng's substitute, no one knew her true identity except for Ji Zhongliang, Li Shunjuan and the housekeeper Zhang Quan.

To pretend to be a daughter who grew up in the Ji family, she must not only be dignified, elegant, and cheerful, but also be close to Ji Zhongliang and Li Shunjuan. She had to call Li Shunjuan's mother, which was actually difficult for Lin Kongkong to export, because she happened to be about to turn 18 years old at that time.

A girl of that age has some rebellious psychology, and Lin Kongkong grew up with his mother since he was a child, and he has some hostility towards his father, including his stepmother, so she is very reluctant to go to the Ji family.

It's just that at that time, their place was too remote and quiet, and if there were no relatives to rely on, a girl like her could only hurriedly find someone to marry. And although Lin Kongkong and his mother have always lived in seclusion, in that place, a girl like Lin Kongkong is extremely outstanding, and I don't know how many people are worried about it. When her mother was seriously ill, many people came to her door to ask for relatives, saying that they would definitely bury her mother and take care of her for the rest of her life.

At that time, the young girl was frightened, and she did not want to marry anyone there, because she had the impression that the men there were fierce and always spoke loudly to their wives. Her mother had already thought of a place for her, and she was weak and had no way to survive, so she had to enter the Ji family, had to accept their conditions, and had to rely on them to survive.

After arriving at the Ji family, her life was completely gray, walking on thin ice every day, for fear of provoking her stern father and dignified stepmother who were dissatisfied. She has no freedom, and what she has to do every day is to review her sister's past, cultivate the same interests and hobbies as her, and develop the same living habits as her.

Lin Kongkong clearly remembered the first time, when she called Li Shunjuan's mother, she tried many times but couldn't call it. She couldn't rob her father, let her mother be alone and widowed for many years, let her have no father since she was a child, and the person who was ridiculed by others called her mother.

She also thought that her stepmother would give her daughter poisonous apples like the queen in "Snow White". But everything was beyond her expectations, Li Shunjuan was very good to her, even better than her biological mother.

Lin Kongkong's biological mother, Lin Wanyi, has an arrogant and cold temperament, and she has a knot in her heart for Ji Zhongliang, Lin Kongkong has grown older, and her silhouette has become more and more Ji Zhongliang's shadow, and over time, she has become more and more cold to her daughter.

Therefore, when Li Shunjuan began to care about her life carefully, tailor-made clothes for her, washed her hands and soup, and held her in the palm of her hand like her own daughter, Lin Kongkong's heart was completely captured by her. Even this is the person who makes her feel the most warm in the ten years she has been in the Ji family.

She has always relied on Li Shunjuan's emotions, and after the Ji family's accident, she wanted to go to her. It's just that at the beginning, due to the sensitivity of his identity, he couldn't show up, and Li Shunjuan was implicated at that time and was also detained for inspection. This time, I was going to go to Li's house to see her, but now I heard Ji Zhongliang say this, so I promised: "Okay, Dad, I'll go to Li's house to see her tomorrow." ”

Seeing that she agreed, Ji Zhongliang smiled with relief: "Dad knows, because of your mother's affairs, you have been complaining about me, but in my heart, there has always been only one of your mothers, and she is - Lin Wanyi!" ”

This is the first time in the ten years since she came to the Ji family that her father mentioned her mother in front of him. Every time Lin Kongkong saw Ji Zhongliang and Li Shunjuan raising their eyebrows and respecting each other, he would silently feel sad for his mother.

I also wanted to ask my father more than once, what did he think of his mother, a lover who abandoned him from beginning to end, or a tool for giving birth to children? What do you think of her as his heir after a hundred years, or expand his power and swallow the bargaining chips of the Bai family?

But every time she couldn't ask, this hazy and untold truth was separated by a thin layer of window paper. She didn't dare to pierce it, because she knew that if she really told the matter clearly and her father admitted it calmly, then she really didn't have the courage to face him again, then she didn't even have the last excuse to convince herself. She had to admit that there was a cowardly side to her character.

After hesitating for a long time, he asked the sentence he wanted to ask the most: "Have you ever loved my mother?" ”

Her voice was as soft as ever, but there was a hint of cautious stiffness seeping into it, and it seemed that it would take her a lot of courage to ask this sentence.

This sentence was not loud, but it clearly responded to Kang Chenyi's ears. Lin Kongkong had his back to him, so he couldn't see her expression clearly at this time, only that her slender back was stiff, which made his heart hurt uncontrollably.

The daughter of the Ji family was not from Mrs. Ji, it was something he had always known. Any of the wealthy families in these business circles have some topics that can be used as after-dinner conversations, and they don't feel so new when they get used to it. Therefore, Kang Chenyi did not pay extra attention to this matter, and it was only when he heard Lin Kongkong ask this sentence at this time that he thought that as far as he knew, Ji Mengmeng's biological mother was not from a high background and was Ji Zhongliang's lover raised outside.

Thinking about it, this matter is a scar on her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have asked such a thing at this time. At this time, Kang Chen Yi understood her feelings, and finally understood why her clear and clear eyes sometimes always shone with distressing light, like fragile glass.

Because, there are things in her heart that she doesn't dare to face, even if she is the only heir of the Ji family, so what? can't erase the fact that she is an illegitimate daughter, her biological mother is still nameless and unshared, a third party who can't see the light, and she is still fostered under Mrs. Ji's name, and she wants to call Mrs. Ji her mother. I don't know how much unknown sadness I have to carry at a young age, this girl is really distressing.

"Love! Ji Zhongliang has only loved Lin Wanyi from beginning to end in his life, and he has never changed until now. ”

When Lin Kongkong heard his answer, he didn't know if he got the answer he wanted or not. He only trembled and covered his hands to his eyes, tears fell uncontrollably, and his voice was also crying: "Dad, then tell me, since you love her, why do you want to treat her like that?" Do you know that every time she goes out, there is always someone pointing at her? Did you know that she never cries or laughs? Do you know how many men she has rejected who have courted her? Do you know that when I was sick, she carried me to the hospital with difficulty, and guarded me all night without daring to sleep, looking weak and haggard? Father...... Do you tell me you've regretted it for so many years? Have you ever had a troubled conscience? ”

After Lin Kongkong's series of questions, his emotions had reached his peak, the crying voice was louder, and the person seemed more and more haggard, with a faint hysterical taste. These words have been hidden in her heart for a long time, suppressed for so many years, in her heart, it has long been deformed, and now it suddenly erupts, like a beast that has been imprisoned for many years, fierce, deadly, and crazy, tearing her whole body is anxious.

Ji Zhongliang didn't blame her for asking these words sharply, in fact, he knew that these things had been hidden in her heart for a long time, and he had long been mentally prepared to be questioned. Now that she finally asked, it proves that she no longer runs away, and has dared to face the past, and a big stone pressed in her heart has fallen.

"I regret it, I regret it the moment I know your mother died. I found that my life for half my life was like child's play, and my inner emotions were so empty that there was no other way to fill them with those cold things outside my body. ”

Lin Kongkong was a little emotional at this time, she no longer knew what she could say. It's like finally getting something that she has been looking forward to for a long time, but after getting it, she finds that this thing is useless to her. My mother has been dead for many years, and she has been wearing Ji Mengmeng's identity for many years, and she can't tell whether she is Lin Kongkong or Ji Mengmeng, so what's the use of hearing her father say this now? He just looked at his father in silence, nodding and crying.

"Girl, don't cry! It's almost time to visit, so let's go back! This place is not for you, and you are pregnant, so don't come to visit you in the future. Ji Zhongliang looked at Lin Kongkong and said calmly.

She also knows that she has entered the second trimester, and it is absolutely impossible to travel far in the future. Lin Kongkong tried his best to suppress the collapsed heart and said with a smile: "Dad, eight years will pass quickly, I will come to see you often, take care of yourself, don't think about it, remember that I am still waiting for you to come home." ”

Ji Zhongliang just wanted to say something more to his daughter, but the prison guard had already walked to his side, so he had to put down the phone in his hand and smile gently and calmly at his daughter through the glass. Then he was calmly taken away by the prison guards, and the iron gate was the same as before, "Bang! The thud was slammed shut.

"Daddy!"

Lin Kongkong watched her father being taken away and gradually disappearing from her sight, and she suddenly felt that the cold iron door was a little cruel, and it separated her from her father in this way.

For eight years from then on, my father would be locked up in this iron cage. She stared at the iron door and tapped the glass twice, but there was no response. Weakly sat back in his chair and said to himself, "I'll wait for you to come back...... I'll always wait for you to come back......"
