The surprise was that his mother was probably not dead.
But the puzzle is...
If his mother wasn't dead, then why did the old man say she was dead and bring back her ashes?
What is the reason behind this?
Or is there something else going on?
Also, if his mother was really not dead, then why didn't she come back or see him for more than ten years?
Could she abandon her husband?
Could she abandon her child?
"I'll go ask Xingxing again." After calming down, Sheng Zexi felt that he still had to go find Xingxing to ask again.
"good."
Soon, Xingxing was called into the room by them.
He talked about what happened during the day.
When Sheng Zexi heard the woman call herself Awan, his heart couldn't help but beat faster.
At this moment, Xingxing seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, Mom and Dad, I remember that grandma called that foreign man Henry."
Henry?
Sheng Zexi murmured.
This Henry seems to be a key figure.
I just don't know what the relationship is between this Henry and the person suspected to be his mother.
Listening to Xingxing's description, it seems that he is very close.
"Dad, I can't be wrong, that's grandma." Xingxing held Sheng Zexi's hand, her eyes full of certainty.
Sheng Zexi touched Xingxing's head and said, "Dad believes in Xingxing, but there are still some things that need to be verified."
"So, Xingxing has to keep this secret for the time being and don't tell great-grandfather and great-grandmother, okay?"
If mom is really still alive, then everyone will be happy.
But if it is wrong.
If we let my grandparents know in advance, wouldn't that just make them happy for nothing?
They are old now and may not be able to bear too many joys or sorrows.
Xingxing nodded, "Dad, I understand."
"Well, be good, go play."
By the time Xingxing left, Sheng Zexi had also made a decision.
"Ningning, let's go to the Sheng family's old house now."
"I think there are some things that I need to verify with him in person."
"He is the only one who knows some of the inside story."
Gu Jianing knew that the "he" Sheng Zexi was talking about was his father-in-law Sheng Xinhao.
She stepped forward, held Sheng Zexi's hand, and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
When Grandma Sang learned that Gu Jianing and Sheng Zexi were going out, she was very surprised.
"Where are you going so late at night?" Grandma Sang was a little confused.
"Nothing, I just plan to go for a walk." Sheng Zexi did not tell the truth.
Grandma Sang also heard it, but she didn't ask any more questions.
"Okay, it's late at night, please drive safely and come back early."
"good."
Sheng Zexi looked at his grandmother for a few seconds, then suddenly walked forward and hugged his grandmother.
Grandma Sang was suddenly hugged and was stunned. Then she burst into laughter, patted his back and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Sheng Zexi shook his head and said nothing more.
Then he took Gu Jianing into the car and drove to the Sheng family's old house.
The old house of the Sheng family is in the compound.
At the door, when the guard stopped him, he recognized Sheng Zexi almost at first sight.
The guard was old, an old man.
He has been a guard in the compound for many years and watched Sheng Zexi grow up since he was a child.
I also vaguely know the conflict between Sheng Zexi and Sheng Xinhao.
Of course, I also know that Sheng Zexi has not been back for many years.
Now, when I first saw Sheng Zexi coming back, late at night, I was very surprised.
"It's Zexi, you're back."
"Yes, Grandpa Zhou, I'm back."
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. There's no such thing as overnight hatred between father and son. Your father has been talking about you before."
"Now that you're back, he must be very happy."
"He's at home right now, go in quickly."
"Okay, thank you, Grandpa Zhou."
So the car entered the compound.
After getting off the car, Sheng Zexi looked at the familiar environment around him, his heart full of emotion.
This was Gu Jianing's first time here, but Xingxing and Yueyue had been brought here several times by Sheng Xinhao.
Although Sheng Xinhao had asked them to come to the old house when they were free, they did not come.
Now, it’s the first time.
Sheng Zexi held Gu Jianing's hand and said, "Let's go."
"Um."
The old house of the Sheng family at this time.
Sheng Xinhao was sitting alone in the living room. The TV was playing. The living room was not very quiet.
But inexplicably, Sheng Xinhao just felt empty and lonely.
He lost his father and mother when he was young, his wife when he was young, and his son became alienated from him when he was middle-aged and old.
Sheng Xinhao felt that he had held a high position in his life.
But it's really sad that there is no one close to me around me.
"Ah Xi is as stubborn as a bull. I told him many times that he could come home to visit, but he never came back."
Sheng Xinhao murmured, feeling somewhat aggrieved.
He also knew that he had made a mistake in the beginning.
He did make amends, but some things can't be undone.
He still remembered that Ah Xi once said that if he wanted him to forgive him, it would be only if his mother came back to life.
Sheng Xinhao lowered his eyes and looked at the photo album on his knees.
In the album are photos that the three of them had taken.
Sheng Xinhao's fingertips gently stroked the beautiful woman above.
Murmuring, "Awan, I also hope you can survive."
If, if A Wan had not died of illness at that time, would everything have been different.
This was the scene Sheng Zexi saw when he came in.
The old man was sitting on the sofa, the cold white light reflecting the white hair on his temples. When he was young, his back was straight enough to carry him while running, but now it is slightly hunched. Even his shoulders, which seemed to be able to support the sky when he was young, now look a little droopy.
There was an inexplicable sense of loneliness and solitude lingering around him.
There is also the passing of youth and the coming of old age, which brings with it the old age and weakness.
For some reason, Sheng Zexi felt a thorn in his heart.
At this moment, Sheng Xinhao, who was distracted by the photo, suddenly heard a voice.
He looked up.
He saw Sheng Zexi and Gu Jianing coming in hand in hand. He was stunned for a moment, then he was delighted.
"Why are you here?" His tone was full of surprise. He put down the photo album, stood up suddenly, and his face was full of smiles.
Sheng Zexi raised his eyebrows and subconsciously retorted, "Why, don't you want us to come?"
Gu Jianing:?
Gu Jianing patted his hands.
This guy has a poisonous mouth.
From the very beginning when we met, I was addicted.
Later, after they got married, this man was never harsh with her, but he was harsh with other people.
After being patted by Gu Jianing, Sheng Zexi pursed his lips and said nothing.
"How could that be? You can come anytime you want." If Sheng Zexi had acted like that in the past, Sheng Xinhao would definitely feel that his father's authority was challenged and would have been angry.
But now, I am not angry at all.
? ?If nothing unexpected happens, it will probably be completed next month.
