Apparently, something happened during the six months since Zhu Weidong's news came out that they didn't know about, and it was related to a woman.
The cold wind blew in from outside, and Ji Ling shivered before coming back to her senses.
"Xiaoling, come in first." Rong Junjie walked forward, closed the door, and patted her shoulder.
Ji Ling twitched the corners of her mouth but still didn't smile.
She walked silently to the living room and sat down. Everyone in the Zhu family had already gathered in the living room.
"Weidong, where have you been in the past six months?" Zhu Chuangxian asked.
Zhu Weidong said, "Dad, I don't know what happened to me. When I woke up, I was in a herdsman's home. Ye Hong saved me. She happened to be exploring geology there. If it weren't for her, I would have died outside."
The Zhu family didn't ask, but these few words explained why there had been no news from him for half a year, which obviously didn't make sense.
Zhu Weidong saw that his family members didn't say anything and didn't understand why they were looking at him.
Cao Yehong, who was sitting nearby, understood. "Uncle and aunt, when I met Weidong, he was dragged to a wasteland by wolves. I happened to be working there at the time, and I realized something was wrong and saved him. He only remembered who he was a few days ago, and we just came back now."
us?
Following her words, everyone's eyes fell on the two people's holding hands.
It can also be seen that Zhu Weidong took the initiative to hold the other person's hand with the intention of comforting him.
Ji Ling looked away and met Rong Junjie's concerned gaze. She smiled.
What happened at the door just now was indeed a big blow to her, but after sitting down and calming down for a while, the stone that was weighing on her heart was thrown away, and she persuaded herself to calm down.
I just think it's a little funny.
Ji Ling appeared calm, but the Zhu family was not.
You already have a wife and children at home, and now you bring another one back to us? What about the wife and children at home? "Your name is Ye Hong, right? You not only saved Weidong's life, but also saved the lives of our entire family. We have never given up looking for him in the past six months, but there is no news at all." Zhu Chuang looked grateful, and suddenly asked in confusion, "By the way, where is your workplace?"
Cao Yehong answered whatever was asked and told the place where she found Zhu Weidong.
His son was lost, and Zhu Chuang was most familiar with the location where his son was lost in the past six months.
He nodded. "Oh, that's not far away. Maybe you don't have much information over there, so you don't know that we've been looking for someone."
Cao Ye blushed, "It's been deep in the mountains, and Weidong's health has never recovered. He had to stay in bed for two months before he could get out of bed."
Zhu Chuang smiled and did not ask her any more questions. Instead, he looked at his son. "We were fine in the past six months since your accident, but Xiaoling suffered a lot. She never gave up looking for you, and she was pregnant, and she had to take care of Niuniuniu, who kept crying for her daddy. I can't bear those days. Fortunately, you made it through, and now you're back safe and sound."
Seeing her son's confused face, Cao Yehong was also confused.
Zhu Chuang said with a smile, "Ye Hong, I'm afraid Wei Dong didn't tell you that he has been married for many years and is now almost the father of two children."
When Zhu Chuang was asking questions, the Zhu brothers had been listening silently. When they saw that the old man finally got to the point, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
It's really because the eldest brother is still holding Cao Yehong's hand and using the word "we" when speaking, which makes them feel itchy when they hear it.
Cao Yehong's face turned pale and she lost her composure. She stood up from the sofa. She did not ask Zhu's father, but asked Zhu Weidong directly.
"Weidong, what's going on?"
"Don't worry, let me ask." Zhu Weidong was busy trying to comfort him, and then anxiously asked his father, "Dad, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand? I'm obviously not married."
Zhu Chuang's face, which was gentle a moment ago, suddenly turned cold. "What are you talking about? Can you lie about marriage? Your wife is sitting there with a big belly."
He turned and pointed at Niuniu in his wife's arms, "That's your daughter."
Zhu Weidong looked at the strange woman who had just hugged him, then looked at the cute little girl in her mother's arms, and pursed his lips.
His hand was tightly grasped, and Zhu Weidong looked up, "I don't remember being married."
"Then what do you remember?" Zhu Chuang asked coldly.
“All I remember is going to North County, and then something happened.”
Cao Yehong interrupted him halfway through his words, "Weidong, take care of your own business. I'm leaving first."
"Don't go." Zhu Weidong held her back, "Ye Hong, I really didn't know I was married. Besides, you can't just leave like this. I have to be responsible for you and the baby in your belly."
"Weidong." Old Mrs. Zhu covered her chest. "Today is New Year's Day. We can talk about it tomorrow. Your friend came all the way here and saved your life. Let's go to the guest room and rest first."
Cao Ye's face turned pale, and he even leaned towards Zhu Weidong instinctively.
Zhu Weidong also blocked his grandmother's gaze from Ye Hong out of protectiveness, "Grandma, Ye Hong has my child, I hope you can help us."
"Nonsense, I'll help you guys, what's Xiaoling? Where's Niuniu?" Old Master Zhu stood up angrily, his eyes piercing, "If I had known you'd come back like this, I'd rather die outside."
"It's New Year's Day, why are you talking about death?" Mrs. Zhu saw the old man getting angry and became anxious. "He doesn't remember these things. This is not his fault, but he can't do whatever he wants."
Mr. Zhu didn't listen to that, his eyes still glaring at his grandson, "Take your friends and leave now, you are not welcome at home."
Zhu Weidong pursed his lips. Seeing his grandfather getting angry, he became scared and lowered his head obediently.
No one present stood up.
The atmosphere was deadlocked. Cao Yehong didn't dare to speak anymore. She held Zhu Weidong's hand tightly with trembling body.
"Grandma, doesn't dad want me and mom anymore?" Niu Niu turned around and asked, pulling at grandma's clothes.
Kong Siya felt very uncomfortable, "No, Niuniu heard it wrong, Dad just forgot about you."
Ji Ling didn't want to listen any more, so she held her waist and stood up, "Grandpa and grandma, today is New Year's Day, don't let it affect everyone's mood, let's talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."
"Mom, I'm tired. I'll go upstairs and rest first. I'll take care of Niu Niu." After hearing that the other party was pregnant, Ji Ling was heartbroken.
She didn't want to hear anything about Zhu Weidong's amnesia or any other reasons or explanations. It had nothing to do with her anymore.
"Sister-in-law, I'll take you upstairs." Zhu Yaowu turned around, took Niu Niu, held her in his arms, and followed.
Ji Ling hurried upstairs, leaving the mess behind. It had nothing to do with her anyway, and she didn't want to listen to anything.
