Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Wei Ran left him and turned around to follow someone else...
An hour ago, a private plane departing from Melbourne landed smoothly at S City Airport.
A few minutes ago.
The Rolls-Royce quietly stopped at the entrance of the old pedestrian street. The driver, who had just picked up an important client from the airport, respectfully introduced the man sitting in the back seat, "Sir, we're here. The 'Wu Ai Sweet Potato Stall' is right over there."
The man turned his head and looked out through the car window with a heavy expression.
As if he was wondering why he had come here on purpose, he was stunned for a long while before he suddenly withdrew his gaze and leaned his head back slightly on the headrest of the seat.
With his hands clasped in front of him, his ten slender fingers intertwined, indifference and entanglement appeared strangely at the same time in the man's deep eyes.
Even though the ventilation system was on in the car, he still felt stuffy.
I raised my hand to roll down the car window, and all kinds of noisy and bustling sounds from the commercial street instantly poured into the car.
Suddenly, the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes wafted over.
Two girls in uniforms walked by the car window and excitedly discussed with their companions: "We dyed the same sweet potato. How happy!"
"Why are there so many people queuing today?"
"This roasted sweet potato is really sweet, the sugar is overflowing, no wonder Wei Ran likes it!"
"Come to think of it, Wei Ran is already a mother, so why is she so cute even when eating a sweet potato?"
…
The corner of the man's forehead twitched on his expressionless face.
A sudden dull pain came from somewhere in his brain, sharp and aching. When he regained consciousness, his face had suddenly turned much paler.
The secretary in the front row broke out in a cold sweat. "Mr. Lin, you've only just recovered your memory. The doctor said you need to avoid new stimuli... How about we go back to the hotel and get some rest?"
Lin Luochen didn't say anything.
He was in a car accident five years ago and was in a vegetative state for nearly two years. Although he regained consciousness afterwards, he was still in a daze for nearly three years.
He remembered a lot of things. To be more precise, for a long time after regaining consciousness, Lin Luochen didn't know he had lost his memory.
After waking up, he actively participated in rehabilitation, and then lived and worked like all normal people, taking over the family business one by one in an orderly manner. On the surface, the lost two years did not affect him at all.
Others enviously described how outstanding he was as the future successor of the Lin family - he had been lying down for two years but had not been surpassed by other children of the family in terms of ability, nor had he been left behind by the times.
Lin Luochen listened to these words numbly.
Because I knew it was flattery, I never took it to heart. Neither good nor bad could move him, as if he was truly as indestructible as people described him to be.
But occasionally, Lin Luochen would feel empty in his heart, as if he had missed something.
But that didn't seem to matter.
For someone who has survived, he is already lucky enough and has nothing to be unhappy about or complain about.
Until by chance, he saw a new domestic costume drama on his nephew's pad.
It is said to be a good and conscientious drama that has taken off from nowhere in the past few years. The character "Wei Yushu" has become extremely popular. Before the show has even finished airing, traces of Wei Yushu and his actor are already everywhere on the hot searches in the domestic entertainment industry.
Its actor...
Lin Luochen never cares about the developments in the entertainment circles at home or abroad.
He is usually very busy with his work and has a regular biological clock, so he rarely even attends banquets.
Things in the entertainment industry are too small for him.
If it doesn't catch his eye, he naturally won't pay much attention to it.
Until he saw the actor who played Wei Yushu.
“…Wei Ran.”
At that moment, Lin Luochen called out the name without any warning.
His usually calm heart began to fluctuate unprecedentedly as he looked closely at the man's appearance.
After that—click, click, the calm state of mind like the surface of a lake suddenly turned into a hypocritical mirror.
When the truth appeared, the mirror began to crack, revealing the original true appearance underneath, which was full of holes.
What was revealed were some memories that had been forgotten by Lin Luochen but were extremely real.
It's all about one person.
...Wei Ran.
Wei Ran!
"Mr. Lin?"
Seeing that Lin Luochen's expression was not right, the assistant in the front row panicked a little.
Since Mr. Lin began to recover his memory, his physical and mental condition has been very unstable. Before returning home on this business trip, the old chairman repeatedly urged him to take good care of Mr. Lin's health...
"Do you want to see a doctor?"
Lin Luochen in the back row took a deep breath.
A layer of sweat covered his cheeks without him knowing when. This had often happened to Lin Luochen before when his memories of that person gradually emerged.
Now all the memories are connected into one line, and he can recall what he should and shouldn't remember. But every time he thinks of that person, dull pain and sourness still overwhelm him.
I can’t say where I feel uncomfortable, but I feel uncomfortable everywhere.
In order to calm himself down, Lin Luochen once again looked out the window.
The pedestrian street was bustling with activity, bustling with people. It was a scene of prosperity, just as he had seen briefly during his visits to various cities during his brief stays in China over the past few years.
But the Wuai sweet potato stall is hidden in a corner.
It’s an inconspicuous little shop in a corner. If it hadn’t been exposed now, with so many people queuing up and the queues so long... it would be completely invisible.
——I missed it in a moment of distraction.
A greater sense of pain spread in his injured head, and Lin Luochen clenched his hand on his knee into a fist.
"Boss Lin?!"
Seeing that he didn't answer, the assistant in front was so anxious that he almost told the driver to go directly to the hospital.
Lin Luochen spoke at this time: "It's okay, don't make a fuss."
Even though the pain was obvious, his voice was still calm and a little cold, as if he was not talking about anything about his body.
Lin Luochen just closed his eyes.
He withdrew his gaze and didn't look out the window again.
"Go to the company."
There's nothing to see, and no need to look for it.
That person left me and hasn't even said a word of greeting in the past five years. It seems like we will never see each other again.
But I was still looking for the same sweet potato as that person.
It's so humble and despicable.
When the driver heard the command, he subconsciously wanted to start the car, but the car, which was very safe, issued a "beep" alarm at this time.
——A second before the car started, Lin Luochen suddenly opened the door and got out of the car without saying a word.
Driver & Assistant:?
On the sidewalk outside the car, a few old men and women gathered in groups of three or five, looking at the long queue at the sweet potato stall and talking to each other.
"I heard that a young celebrity came here to record a show and bought some sweet potatoes from this shop. After that, these young people started following the trend and started buying sweet potatoes."
"See? These days, if you have celebrities patronizing you, you can make a fortune selling sweet potatoes."
"That celebrity must have been paid, it's all advertising! These young people are clueless, they believe everything they say and spend all their money on them. They like celebrities more than they like their own parents!"
"Young people chasing stars just don't work hard enough! It's nothing like when we were young."
"Who knows the young people these days? That celebrity is ridiculous. What kind of celebrity are they? They're nothing but actors! They just rip off the elderly and children. My wife and granddaughter watch their shows every day, and they don't even cook for me! I've seen them, and they look pretty good, but they don't look masculine or…"
"Please make way." A cold voice came from behind, sounding very young.
But because the sound was too close and too abrupt, several elderly men and women gathered together were startled.
An old man turned around in dissatisfaction, his hands behind his back, and before he could even turn around, he started to lecture: "The road is so wide, won't you young people be led around?"
After he finished speaking, he realized that the young man was very tall and well-dressed. At first glance, he couldn't even notice what he looked like. His attention was completely focused on his well-tailored suit...
But soon, the old man no longer cared about these.
I only heard the young man say, "You're getting old, so you can't control crickets anymore, right?"
"you……"
The man's sharp eyes flashed with indifference: "You are taking advantage of your age."
The old man got angry: "You young man, you!..."
"You have so much free time to gossip outside. As a member of the family, why don't you go home and cook for your wife and granddaughter?"
After saying that, the young man in the haute couture suit walked straight through them, passing by without taking a single detour and without looking around.
The old man wanted to curse loudly, but when he felt that the young man was extremely arrogant, he considered whether to fall to the ground in anger.
Even if he doesn't have to pay for the medical expenses, at least he should scare the other party.
But at this moment, two muscular men wearing the same style of clothes and black sunglasses passed by them and fell respectfully behind the tall man. It was obvious that they were not to be trifled with.
One of them even turned around and looked at the old man.
Even with sunglasses on, he seemed to be asking, "Uncle, are you trying to scam me?"
Old man: ...
The vast majority of people don’t want to cause trouble, let alone those who just like to gossip behind people’s backs. Most of them will be scared when something really happens.
Several old men and women dispersed awkwardly.
A few minutes later.
A few meters behind the sweet potato team, Lin Luochen stared blankly at the little human cub in front of him, holding two chestnuts in front of him.
The man who was eloquent just now seemed to have suddenly lost the ability to speak.
Lin Luochen's prominent Adam's apple slid up and down, his movements so difficult that it seemed as if he was swallowing something sour and bitter. After a long silence, he declared, "I don't buy sweet potatoes."
The voice was cold and emotionless.
Lin Luochen doesn't look fierce. On the contrary, he has a rare combination of being tall and handsome.
But his cat-like eyes drooped, and his expressionless face made him look intimidating without even being angry, making him seem heartless and cruel.
It is no exaggeration to say that Lin Luochen's nephew was once scared to tears by such an uncle.
But the little kid who was only as tall as his knees just blinked.
Dudu has been paying attention to this uncle for a while. The little human cub is also very observant and attentive.
He heard his uncle scolding and sending away those cricket dads.
It turns out that uncle is not a fan of dad?
"That's okay." Wei Dudu said sweetly, "Brother, Dudu will still treat you to chestnuts!"
After saying that, he extended the little hand holding two chestnuts forward again. As if worried that he would feel uncomfortable or have other concerns, the child turned around and pointed around, meaning that other brothers and sisters here also have them.
Lin Luochen: “…” He took another deep breath.
Unnoticeable.
He didn't like children.
She is not so mean as to be especially gentle to Wei Ran's son.
What's more, Wei Ran, who left him, immediately got together with someone else. The child is already so big.
…
Not only did my head ache dully, but I also felt a substantial pain in my heart.
For a moment, Lin Luochen suspected that he was about to collapse to the ground convulsing in excruciating pain, just like when he first recalled everything about Wei Ran.
"...Since that person has caused you endless pain, it's normal for you to forget him. This is the human brain's self-protection mechanism."
His attending psychiatrists all agreed, "Perhaps the trauma he inflicted on you was far more severe than the car accident. That's why you forgot everything about him after waking up."
…
When Lin Luochen came to his senses, there were two chestnuts in his hand.
...The two chestnuts are bigger than the child's palm. Anyone who sees the child holding things with such difficulty would be unlikely to refuse to take them.
"Thank you." Lin Luochen said in a cold voice.
"You're welcome." The child's clear voice contrasted sharply with the tall uncle in a suit and tie. Wei Dudu suddenly looked up desperately.
"Brother, you are so tall."
“…”
Thanks.
You won't be short either.
Lin Luochen closed his eyes tightly.
Suddenly he whispered, "Your name is Dudu? What's your full name?"
The man's cold brows drooped, and there was a shadow under his eyes. When the child looked up at him, he also looked carefully at the child in front of him who was somewhat similar to Wei Ran.
Although it might be better to forget, but faced with the sudden emergence of memories, Lin Luochen couldn't help but check out Wei Ran.
Naturally, I also saw the photo of Wei Ran's son.
...In order to let him live with dignity, Wei Ran was willing to give up her career and revealed that she already had a child.
…
ridiculous.
The voice of the young boy Wei Ran was still echoing in his ears.
At that time, Wei Ran still had a little baby fat on his face and liked to wear old-fashioned white shirts, but when talking about his dreams, Wei Ran was always very excited.
The boy's beautiful eyes and eyebrows are eye-catching and bold. He often says with full longing for the future that he loves acting the most.
Wei Ran's dream is to become a successful actor.
That’s the result?
"Just call me Dudu." The child's voice sounded crisp and soft, and Dudu fiddled with his little fingers.
It was stained with sugar from the roasted chestnuts and was sticky, but Dudu knew it was sweet, edible, and not dirty.
If Dudu didn't have to distribute the chestnuts to other aunts and sisters later, he really wanted to lick one.
Dudu, who was only thinking about licking the candy, was a little slow to react: "Oh uncle, you want to ask what Dudu's last name is? My name is Bai Dudu!"
Faced with the uncle who seemed to have a strong aura and was a bit fierce, Wei Dudu was quickly exposed and forgot to continue calling him brother in a sweet tone.
But Dudu didn't forget his surname.
Because Dad’s surname is so special, in order to protect Dudu, Dad deliberately told him that if anyone asked about it outside, Dudu should say that it was his grandmother’s surname and his name was Bai Dudu.
Lin Luochen raised his eyebrows heavily - Bai Dudu?
Bai? Is the child's mother's surname Bai?
Which woman around Wei Ran has the surname Bai?
…
Even greater pain spread through his injured mind. Lin Luochen suddenly clenched the two chestnuts in his palms, and said with a blank expression on his face, "Uncle, I understand. Thank you, Dudu."
"You're welcome, uncle." Wei Dudu said politely.
