Although he had been working with his third brother for a long time, Wen Chengcai still found it difficult to look him in the eye.
He wasn't sleepy either, because he was constantly thinking about things.
Thinking about the female celebrity named Wen Yan, and the birthmark on her lower back.
After returning to the dilapidated tin shack in the abandoned industrial park, Wen Chengcai immediately lay down on the bed and died.
Seeing that his third brother hadn't come, he leaned forward and asked, "Brother, aren't you going to take a nap? Where are you planning to go?"
“It’s already dawn. The police took away all the things those two thugs left behind last night. I’m going to check over there and turn off the power while I’m at it. You go to sleep, don’t worry about me.”
"Oh, if you're going alone, then I won't go."
"Go to sleep."
"Okay, then please close the door for me. I'm too lazy to get up."
After his third brother closed the door and left the tin shack for quite some time, Wen Cheng finally jumped out of bed.
He peered out the window for a long time until he saw his third brother's figure disappear from sight, then he locked the door from the inside.
Then, Wen Cheng opened his third brother's trunk.
He knew that his third brother had hidden a treasure box in the trunk, containing some letters and a photograph.
They were all sent to him by his girlfriend more than 20 years ago.
Back then, before the incident, he was a handsome young man who had fallen in love with a beautiful girl and they were almost ready to get married.
Because the girl shared the same surname as him, Wen Cheng remembered her very clearly; her name was Wenrou, a very beautiful name.
However, the girl was born into a single-parent family and was a migrant worker from another place. Her mother had a particularly bad temper and opposed the two of them dating, so the two were forced to separate later.
In addition, the third brother's job was special, and he disappeared for several years after being separated from his wife, so the two eventually parted ways without a clear reason.
That was how things ended between the two of them, at least that's what Third Brother always thought.
But the information Wen Cheng-cai had was not like that!
He and his third brother were neighbors, both from the same small town. In his early twenties, he developed a gambling addiction, gambling and losing every day, and his biggest problem was money.
Later, when Third Brother's father fell ill, the girl named Wenrou, who didn't know where she got the news, sent a letter to Third Brother's family.
At that time, my third brother's parents were in the hospital, and Wen Cheng, who was a neighbor, received this letter on his behalf.
He hadn't originally intended to open his third brother's letter, but the envelope was a bit thick, and Wen Cheng was particularly sensitive to money; he could smell the paper money even through the envelope.
In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation and opened the letter without permission.
Sure enough, there was money in that envelope!
Although it wasn't enough to pay off his huge gambling debts, it was enough to solve his immediate problem.
After taking the money, he casually read the letter.
Besides the two-page letter, there was also a picture of a baby tucked inside.
It turns out that Wenrou gave birth to a daughter for her third brother a few months ago.
In her letter, she said that her daughter's eyebrows and eyes looked a lot like her third brother's, and that she had a small red birthmark on her lower back.
Fortunately, the birthmark wasn't on her face, and it wasn't too big. It looked like a small bird, and at first glance, it was quite cute.
This should have been good news for the Third Brother's family. After taking the money, Wen Cheng was even planning to reseal the envelope and send it back to the Third Brother's family.
Although my third brother was working in another city at that time, he would come back one day, and who knows, he might see that letter someday.
But upon closer reflection, Wen Wen seemed to have mentioned at the end of the letter that she had also sent some money, so Wen Cheng changed his mind about returning the letter.
In the end, he didn't dwell on the matter for long, because his creditors soon came knocking on his door.
He went into hiding for several years. When he returned, his third brother's father had already died, and his third brother was nowhere to be found. He never mentioned the letter or the fact that his third brother had another daughter in front of his mother.
He thought that if Wenrou really wanted to find her third brother, she would know his address and could easily come to him.
If she couldn't find him, then she must have married someone else, or maybe the child wasn't even her third brother's.
Later, my third brother got into trouble and came back as a completely different person.
I heard that he also looked for Wenrou, but it seems that Wenrou died and her account was closed decades ago.
As for the daughter she mentioned in the letter, there was no such person in the public security system. Wen Chengcai never mentioned it to his third brother.
But now...
The female celebrity, surnamed Wen, is in her early twenties. She has a red birthmark shaped like a small bird on her lower back, and her eyebrows and eyes bear a resemblance to her brother before his disfigurement.
With so many coincidences piling up together, Wen Cheng's mind immediately became active.
Now, when we open Brother San's treasure box again and take out a photo of Wenrou when she was young, I must say, the actress's nose and mouth do look quite similar to Wenrou's.
Could it be that the female celebrity named Wen Yan is actually the daughter of Third Brother and Wenrou?

By the time Shen Jinghe drove back to the Shen family villa, it was almost dawn.
As soon as they entered, they ran into Shen Jingxiu, who was coming downstairs in his pajamas.
When their eyes met, Shen Jingxiu frowned slightly as he looked at Wen Yan and the others' attire.
"Are you dressed like that to go out and film a movie? When did you come back? I didn't know you were here."
Wen Yan: "...Big brother, it's rare for you to misjudge someone. We just got back."
