Lin Ran looked at Shi Yan in confusion, not understanding why the topic changed so quickly.
Aren’t we talking about drawing a clear line with the Song family?
Why did you suddenly get to the topic of why Shi's mother remarried?
Little did they know that Shi Yan was having a struggle between his conscience and his conscience at this moment.
He didn't know whether he should confess his life experience to Lin Ran.
Because he had finally waited for the day when Lin Ran's attitude softened, he was afraid that Lin Ran would reject him again after knowing his life experience.
But he didn't want to deceive Lin Ran.
He hoped that Lin Ran agreed to him with full knowledge of the situation.
So after a struggle, reason finally prevailed.
He slowly told the story of the past that had been buried in his heart for more than ten years.
"Actually, our Shi family was once a capitalist..."
It turns out that the Shi family's ancestors made their fortune by running a textile factory. By the time of Shi's grandfather's generation, he had further developed the family business and was known as the "Textile King."
So later when darkness fell, the trees fell and the sun scattered.
The family members fled and scattered, and my grandmother passed away in a few days due to her anxiety.
Grandpa Shi's health was deteriorating, but in order to protect the Shi family, he had no choice but to drag his sick body and organize the entire family to flee abroad.
Shi Yan was only five years old at the time, and his parents had a very good relationship. Originally, the family of three was going to leave with him.
But Shi's mother didn't want to bring trouble to her family, so she wanted to stay.
But how could Shi's father bear to do that?
So in the end they decided that the three of them would stay and face the situation together, while Grandpa Shi and the others would take the others away by boat.
How could Grandpa Shi watch his son and grandson get into trouble? But no matter how he tried to persuade them, it was useless. Later, he simply went all out and knocked Shi's father unconscious and took him away.
Originally, I wanted to take Shi Yan away with me, but Shi Yan was too smart and didn't give Grandpa Shi any chance to make a move.
In fact, it would have been better if Shi's father had been taken away at that time.
But the truth is that Shi's father woke up on the boat halfway and found that he was the only one taken away, so he escaped back again, but unfortunately fell into the sea and died.
The departure of the Shi family eventually implicated Shi's mother's family.
Shi Yan was also being targeted.
After all, the Shi family has been in business for dozens of generations and must have accumulated a huge fortune.
Even if the whole family moved away, it would be impossible to take all the property with them. Therefore, as the only remaining heir of the Shi family, Shi Yan naturally became the focus of attention.
Under such circumstances, Shi's mother had to take care of her parents' home and protect her son at the same time. She was so busy that she was exhausted and didn't even have the chance to mourn her deceased husband.
Moreover, under the circumstances at that time, she was completely powerless to change Shi Yan's identity as a capitalist bastard.
So in the end, in order to protect Shi Yan and to save her natal family, she had no choice but to give herself to Song Wenhua, who was already a small leader of the Beijing Revolutionary Committee at that time.
Although she knew clearly in her heart that Song Wenhua's motives were not pure.
But for the sake of her family and to gain leverage, she had to choose to rely on one side.
Listening to Shi Yan's story, Lin Ran's heart also fluctuated.
From the high hanging feeling at the beginning to the complex and sour feeling at the end.
Shi Yan was only five years old that year!
It is no exaggeration to describe it as a situation where families are broken up and people are no longer the same.
She didn't dare to imagine how aggrieved and sad Shi Yan must have felt when he first stepped into the Song family and was bullied!
Shi's mother said that he was sensible, and Song Yao also said that he had been sensible since he was a child.
But what Lin Ran saw was a five-year-old boy who tried hard to put on an appearance of being strong and sensible in order not to embarrass his mother.
Perhaps only when it was late at night and everyone was asleep would he have the chance to hide under the quilt and cry silently, missing his former home madly in his heart.
Seeing Lin Ran staring at him silently, Shi Yan felt uneasy and spoke hesitantly.
"It's okay if you mind that my family is a capitalist. I..."
"What do you want? Are you ready to give up pursuing me?"
This was the first time that Lin Ran responded directly to Shi Yan's question in this regard.
Shi Yan was stunned by the question for a moment and didn't know how to start. To be more precise, he didn't dare to speak.
Because of fear and worry.
So he hesitated.
But whenever he thought of giving up Lin Ran, his heart felt like it was being grabbed tightly by someone, and he couldn't breathe at all.
He couldn't even imagine the scene of Lin Ran marrying someone else later.
He was afraid that he would really go crazy.
Thinking of this, Shi Yan's usually calm black eyes finally showed a hint of persistence and madness. He stared straight at Lin Ran, as if he wanted to swallow her completely.
“I won’t give up. I, Shi Yan, will never give up on Lin Ran.
Even if you despise me, even if you hate me, I will wait until the day you accept me!"
At this moment, the surroundings seemed to be sensed and fell into silence, except for the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the bamboo forest.
But Lin Ran couldn't hear any of this. At this moment, she could only hear the strong "boom boom boom" sound of her own heartbeat.
He didn't even notice that the handkerchief in his hand had fallen off.
I don’t know how long it took, but when Lin Ran came to her senses, she found that Shi Yan was still staring at her stubbornly, obviously waiting for her answer.
Lin Ran's cheeks flushed at the scorching gaze.
She subconsciously wanted to squeeze the handkerchief to relieve the tension in her heart, but her hands squeezed nothing.
Huh?
Where is the handkerchief?
Lin Ran subconsciously looked down and noticed that her handkerchief had fallen to the ground at some point.
Just as she was about to bend down to pick it up, Shi Yan picked it up first.
Lin Ran was just about to say thank you and go to take it, but she saw Shi Yan fold her handkerchief neatly and put it in his trouser pocket...
