How could he, an old bachelor who doesn't even have a wife, have such a grown-up daughter?
wrong……
Wait... He needs to think about it carefully.
Asking this, Cen Zixiang panicked. Was his question too direct? He subconsciously closed his eyes, waiting for the big fight to come, but after waiting for a long time, the imagined pain did not come.
He quietly raised his head and glanced at his third uncle cautiously, and saw that his third uncle was stunned for a rare time. Could it be that what he thought was true?
No, in his heart, Third Uncle has always been a god-like creature, just like reading those fairy tale novels, the cold and aloof master in them should be like Third Uncle.
If Ye Zi is really Uncle San's daughter and Uncle San still doesn't care about her, then Uncle San's image will be instantly shattered in his mind. He looks down on men who give birth to children but don't raise them.
Gao Fei clenched his fists nervously, and his palms were sweating. He unconsciously rubbed the sweat from his palms on his pants.
But his eyes were fixed on Uncle Cen, wanting to confirm whether his eldest brother's guess was true?
To be honest, if it was true, Ye Zi had lived a hard life for sixteen years, and he believed that Uncle Cen must have had his reasons, but this hardship should not be borne by Ye Zi at such a young age, and his admiration for Uncle Cen would definitely be discounted.
On the one hand, he hoped that Uncle Cen was still the powerful man with no enemies. On the other hand, he also hoped that all this was true, so that Ye Zi could also enjoy the warmth of family and the love of relatives.
After all, Ye Zi is really outstanding and shouldn't have to endure the hardships of life. She should live happily every day like other girls in the compound, instead of starting to calculate how to make money to support herself as soon as she opens her eyes.
He is really like Cen Zixiang, treating Ye Zi as his own sister. Sometimes it makes people feel distressed to see Ye Zi's strength.
Cen Boxu fell into memories. That was seventeen years ago. He was still young at that time. Not as strong as he is now. He was just a greenhorn.
He has been the child of other people's families since he was young. He wants to do everything to the best of his ability, as if he has obsessive-compulsive disorder. He will feel uncomfortable if things are not done perfectly.
It was a mission, which was very difficult and hard to complete. In the end, he decided to stay and cover his comrades who evacuated first and he was the last one to leave. His comrades were safe, but he was finally in a desperate situation.
In his last moment of coma, he saw a cliff and jumped down without thinking. At that time, he would rather die than become a pawn that hindered his allies.
He was lucky. The cliff looked deep, but not far from it, hidden under dense woods, there was a path. This path led to the outside world from several small villages.
Maybe after he jumped, the people chasing him only took a quick look and didn't notice the path, allowing him to escape and be rescued by a girl who was leaving the village.
In those days, the disease of young women was more serious than it is now. The person who saved him was a young girl. She was afraid of the rumors that would spread later, so she did not take him back to the village to recuperate. Instead, she found a relatively secluded cave nearby to house him.
After that, the girl came to see him every two days and picked herbal medicine for him, which helped him slowly recover.
The night before leaving, he picked mushrooms and wild vegetables, shot a pheasant, and made a pot of soup to thank the girl.
His cooking was average. He just put everything together and boiled it in water and it would be ready to eat. At that time, no one was picky about whether it would taste good or not. As long as it was edible and didn't make people hungry, it was considered a good thing.
The accident happened after he ate the pot of pheasant mushroom soup. He did not grow up in the countryside, and he only knew about wild vegetables and mushrooms when he was recuperating from his injuries. He only got to know a few of them when he saw the girl picking them.
Who would have thought that mushrooms that look similar could also be poisonous, and that the toxin was similar to an aphrodisiac? He thought he had great self-control, but he couldn't escape the predicament of being controlled by the toxin.
That night was a bit confusing and he couldn't remember exactly what happened, but he knew that he had violated a girl, and that was an indelible fact.
He was very upset when he woke up the next day, but he also knew that the most important thing to do now was to find the girl and marry her responsibly.
It’s a pity that he only knew the girl’s name, not even her surname. She didn’t say which village she lived in, but there were only a few villages nearby so he should be able to find her.
Because time was urgent, he just looked around and didn't find the girl.
I was also anxious to go back and see my comrades to see if they had returned to the army safely and whether the mission had been completed perfectly.
He thought of going back to hand over the task first, and then asked for leave to come here to search carefully. However, when he went back this time, he didn't have time until half a year later. This time he carefully visited all the nearby villages.
There was only a missing young girl who lived alone and looked very similar to the person he was looking for. Unfortunately, the girl had been missing for three months. Everyone who knew her said that the girl had been eaten by wild beasts while going into the mountains.
Or she may have left home to make a living outside. The most outrageous thing is that many people speculated that the girl had found a good family for herself and left with him.
The girl has no relatives, and trying to find someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. She can only put this matter in her heart.
However, he continued to look for the person without interruption. He gave up after five years when there was no news.
Could it be that the little girl just now was from that time? He carefully recalled the face he had just seen, especially the eyes, which were almost exactly the same as the girl back then.
It's just that the girl's eyes were shy, unlike the little girl just now, whose eyes were calm. If I didn't know that they were the eyes of a sixteen-year-old girl, I would have thought I saw a pair of calm eyes of an adult who had been baptized by time.
It had been too long, and he hadn't connected the two people at all. Also, the girl's hometown was not nearby. If it was really her child, why would it appear here?
Seventeen years ago, he remembered that he seemed to have told the girl that their temporary stay would be nearby.
He certainly wouldn't tell the exact location, but he still left an address where he could be contacted, so if the girl wanted to find him, she would be able to find him.
But why had he never received any letter from that girl? It seemed he would have to investigate carefully when he got back. Was there someone who prevented the girl from finding him?
But was that child really his daughter? He couldn't say for sure, but he felt a natural affinity for that girl.
"Uncle San?" What's wrong with Uncle San? Is he unwilling to admit it? Or has he misunderstood?
Cen Boxu came back to his senses: "Tell me about Miss Chen Ye."
