Chapter 676: Recognition of the Story within the Story
The air in the garden is fragrant after the rain.
Two cups of hot tea on the small round table were emitting white smoke.
It was completely different from his previous busy life. Zhao Sheng always had the illusion of dreaming when sitting here. Grandma Zhong asked him random questions and he answered slowly.
"Jiasheng, how did you survive out there by yourself? Why did you only find a home now?"
Home? This word is well used, and it suddenly brings together people who have not seen each other for many years.
Zhao Sheng had a calm expression and did not mention his gang affiliation. He took a sip of hot tea before speaking, "I made a living on the streets. I didn't know my origins before. I found out by accident after I moved from the north to the south."
He had been a little unsure about who had delivered the newspaper, but now he seemed certain about who it was.
Now when I think back on what happened in the past two years, it seems like everything was destined.
"The north?" Grandma Zhong frowned immediately, and quickly sat up straight, tilting her eyes to look at him, nodding her chin as she looked, "Yes, yes, only if you live a hard life in the north can you get such a dark tan."
"..." Zhao Sheng suddenly didn't want to bother with the old lady anymore.
Although Grandma Zhong is old, she is not confused at all. She was afraid of saying something trivial to upset him, so she just reached out and held his hand. Her hand was covered with thick calluses, and it was hard to tell how much suffering she had endured.
"You can stay at my place first. After a few days, your father will take you back to live with him. Don't worry, no one will treat you badly when you return home. Just ask me for anything you want, or ask my family to make it for you."
"Your father is not reliable. He even lost a son as old as you."
Grandma Zhong muttered a lot and asked the housekeeper to call someone to come to her house to measure her size and cut her clothes. She also took the measurements and arranged for someone to go to the mall to buy a few sets of clothes for replacement.
Compared with the peaceful life in the garden house, the Zhong family residence is like a pot of boiling water that is about to burst.
Zhong Bangyou told his wife about his son the night before. Yang Ying initially thought that her husband was drunk and talking nonsense, but she didn't smell any alcohol and he didn't drink.
"Is what you said true?"
"Ah Ying, can you joke about this? Tomorrow I will have someone do a physical examination with Jia Xu. As for Jia Sheng, I will arrange for him to stay at my mother's house temporarily. After the results come out, I will let Jia Xu leave the Zhong family directly for the sake of family stability."
"Isn't this too hasty? How do you know the person who comes to your door is not a scammer?" Yang Ying had never seen her son who suddenly appeared, and felt that her husband's way of handling the matter was a bit decisive and heartless.
But when she saw him at the garden house at noon, Yang Ying immediately changed her previous suspicions.
There is affinity between people. I don't know why I felt a sense of familiarity when I saw him.
Although he had a cold face, he looked obviously like the down-and-out Zhong Bangyou more than 20 years ago. Even though her husband looked gentle and bookish now, he looked like this when he first met her.
Since Yang Ying only recognized her biological son when he was so old, it was inappropriate for her to get close to him even if she wanted to. She just smiled and asked him what he liked to eat and what he liked to play.
What colors do you like and what colors do you dislike.
In a few words, I found out his preferences, and when I returned to the Zhong family's residence in the afternoon, I started making phone calls to arrange for people to buy things for him.
Food, clothing, transportation and daily necessities are all included.
Suddenly she thought about why the wrong baby was taken away. She gave birth in the north and only Sister Liu was with her at the time. How could the wrong baby be taken away with her watching over her?
Yang Ying didn't want to misunderstand the person she had known for many years, so she temporarily refrained from asking questions and decided that it would not be too late to say anything after the appraisal report came out.
The Zhong family is anxiously awaiting the results.
Another residence in the Mid-Levels has blossomed.
The embarrassment and shame of yesterday's rainy day were dispelled by today's good weather.
Ding Li sat in front of the window sill of the bedroom lounge on the second floor, reading the daily morning newspaper. He hardly turned the pages, his attention was on the person who was cleaning.
When she turned left, he looked left; when she turned right, he looked right.
In fact, Lin Yiyi had already finished her daily cleaning work, but she was reluctant to put down the towel in her hand despite the gaze from behind. She was afraid that as soon as she put it down, the man behind her would pounce on her and chew her bones.
Things suddenly turned around. Yesterday she was the one chasing him, but today it was him.
Ding Li was getting a little impatient, and he looked at her for a long time with half-closed eyes. If it weren't for the injury on his waist, he would have hugged her in his arms long ago. How could he play hide-and-seek with her like this?
"Yiyi, you said last night that you would tell me the answer. Are you ready now?"
His words did not contain any negation. The only answer could be that she was willing to marry him. Anything else was not what Ding Li wanted to hear, nor was it what he could hear.
“…”
Lin Yiyi was originally prepared and had mustered up her courage, but thinking about that pestle, she became a little worried that she and he were not a good match.
Although she has never really had a boyfriend, she does understand some things because we live in the age of mobile phones and the Internet.
She turned her back and looked at him, pursing her lips with a conflicted look on her face.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your agreement." Ding Li knew that he might not be able to wait so long for Lin Yiyi to express her love, like, and willingness, so he found countless excuses for her in his mind and took the initiative once more.
All she had to do was not step back and just stand there and let him get closer.
Ding Li walked out the door without waiting for her answer, and then shouted downstairs, "Housekeeper Mo, please arrange for someone to move Yiyi's luggage to my room."
Butler Mo, who was arranging things downstairs, responded immediately after hearing the order, as if he had known this moment long ago, and quickly asked people to go to the servants' building to help the future young mistress move her luggage.
"Hey, why are you like this?" Lin Yiyi seemed to have just come to her senses and hurriedly shouted to pull him, but her soft strength didn't seem like she was really trying to pull him, "When did I promise you?"
She snorted lightly, showing a bit of squeamishness and unreasonableness in front of him, "And even if I agree to marry you, I can't just move in with you right away, right?"
Ding Li had seen through her in his heart. He closed the door, held her hand, and smiled, "Yiyi, we have been together for more than a year. How long are you going to test me?"
"How can it be more than a year? We've only known each other for more than a year." Lin Yiyi rolled her eyes. He was strong in words but overly polite when it came to actions.
Don't ask her questions at this time.
She pretended to be reserved for a moment, and he made the final decision, and the deal was done after some push and pull.
At least she wouldn't have to say later that it was she who wanted to get married, rather than him forcing her to marry him.
Lin Yiyi lowered her head and kicked the edge of his shoes, muttering softly, "...I, I don't know either."
Ding Li saw that she was shy and said one thing but meant another, and he felt that she was cute. He smiled and held her face and kissed her, "Then let's get the marriage certificate first. It will take some time to prepare for the wedding, but it must be before my birthday this year."
"oh…"
Lin Yiyi blushed, rolled her eyes, and took out the brocade box from her waist pocket. She looked into his eyes expectantly, not knowing whether he could understand her.
After being separated from Ding Li for half a month, Lin Yiyi realized that her life had long been a shadow of Ding Li, and she had lived a lonely life for the first twenty years.
Winter and summer come and go, holidays come and go, and we always live a life that we can see through to the end.
Compared with the fear and panic of worrying about gains and losses, cherishing the people in front of you is the most important thing.
She always only cared about what was in front of her. She pouted at him and asked softly, a little embarrassedly, "Eli, you won't put the ring on me?"
After the ring was put on her ring finger, Ding Li hugged her tightly. He didn't care about the pain in his waist and abdomen. He just bent down and kissed her hard.
"Yiyi, from now on you will be my wife, and I will be your beloved."
Men are always cunning, and all their words are about winning and losing.
Lin Yiyi hid half of her face in his chest and agreed to his statement somewhat helplessly.
She is a miser and is unwilling to take the initiative to express her feelings, but she can't be so overbearing as to not allow others to dream, can she?
