Ning Xi couldn't help but say something a little anxious but sincere. The old man smiled slightly, his eyes kind, "Thank you for your good wishes."
"Grandpa, do you know a man named Su Yicen?" Su Ran asked unexpectedly.
The old man thought for a moment and said, "I don't seem to know him. I've never heard of this name. Who is this person?"
"Oh, she's a relative of mine. She said she used to be very familiar with Yun Chen's uncle."
The smile on the old man's face suddenly froze.
Ning Xi also looked at Su Ran in surprise. Auntie is very familiar with Yun Chen's uncle? Why hasn't she heard Su Ran mention it before
"Su Ran, what kind of fruit do you want to eat? Ugli orange or strawberry?" Gu Yunchen was stopped and questioned by his father when he sent him downstairs. When he came back, he heard Su Ran mentioned his uncle, so he quickly changed the subject.
In the Gu family, the younger uncle is a taboo and no one dares to mention it. Su Ran doesn't understand the situation of the Gu family.
"Oh, help Ning Xi peel an ugly orange. She likes to eat oranges." Su Ran said.
The old man said, "Yun Chen, you and Ning Xi go out for a walk. I have something to talk to Su Ran about."
Gu Yunchen: Uh…
Go out for a walk? What's there to do in the hospital
Ning Xi was still considerate and stood up and said, "Okay Grandpa, Yunchen, let's go out for a walk. We've eaten too much for dinner, so let's take a walk."
Then he pulled Yun Chen out.
The old man said: "Su Ran, go and close the door."
"Oh!" Su Ran got up to close the door, feeling slightly excited. The old man sent Ning Xi and Yun Chen away, probably because he had something to say to her.
Su Ran closed the door and sat back on the stool in front of the bed.
The loving smile on the old man's face was gone, replaced by a solemn expression: "Su Ran, who is this Su Yicen to you? How old is she this year?"
"Grandpa, she is 50 years old this year." Su Ran avoided the first question and answered the second question directly. Her mother was 23 years old when she gave birth to her.
The old man's hand trembled as he reached out to Su Ran. Su Ran held the old man's hand. The old man said, "Can you let her come to see me?"
"Grandpa, do you know her?"
"No, I don't know her. I just heard Cheng Lin talking on the phone with a woman called Cen Cen a few times. I don't know if it was the Su Yi Cen you mentioned, but I know Cheng Lin likes the girl named Cen Cen. Cheng Lin promised to bring her home to me during the Chinese New Year. He said she is a very good girl." As the old man spoke, his eyes were filled with sadness. He took a deep breath and sighed heavily.
"Unfortunately, Cheng Lin passed away before the Chinese New Year. I tried to find this Cen Cen, but there was too little information. I don't even know her full name. This is my biggest regret in the past twenty years. If Cheng Lin had the chance to leave a will, he would have asked me to take good care of the person he loved."
Su Ran stopped talking, feeling extremely complicated. She couldn't tell whether she was touched or sad. She had had many assumptions before. If Gu Chengping was her father, then maybe her mother was deceived and played by Gu Chengping, so her mother refused to tell her who her father was. She would rather not be forgiven than have anything to do with the Gu family anymore. Zhu Huiyu's two plots proved that this possibility was very high.
If her father was Gu Chenglin, it was very likely that Mr. Gu would not agree to break up the couple and even deny that she was in her mother's belly.
However, it is now certain that her father is Gu Chenglin, the youngest son of the Gu family, and the old man has never seen her mother.
But Zhu Huiyu knew about her mother's existence. Could it be that Zhu Huiyu was behind this
The old man pleaded, "Su Ran, I must meet your relative."
Su Ran calmed down and said, "Grandpa, my relative is in Xinghai Country now, and she is not in good health. You should take good care of yourself. I will contact her when she is better."
The old man was a little disappointed, as he thought he would be able to see it soon.
"Then... can I talk to her?" The old man settled for the next best option.
Su Ran hesitated and said, "Actually, she came back before the New Year. Unexpectedly, she had an accident a few days after she came back. She was pushed down the escalator and suffered a serious brain injury. She is still in a coma now."
"What?" The old man became excited.
"Grandpa, don't get excited. She is not in danger of death and is gradually recovering."
"how so?"
"I don't know. I wasn't there at the time. That person didn't admit that he pushed her on purpose. I also don't think it was intentional. She had been in Xinghai Country for more than 20 years and hadn't been back. This time she came back just to visit her relatives, and no one recognized her. Oh! No, Aunt Zhu seemed to recognize her, and they had a little unpleasantness. Before I could ask her why she quarreled with Aunt Zhu, she had an accident."
The old man nodded slightly, he understood.
Su Ran came to see him today for a purpose. She wanted to tell him something, but she couldn't make it too clear.
It was obvious that this Su Yicen was Cheng Lin's girlfriend, otherwise how could Huiyu know Su Yicen? Moreover, Huiyu and Su Yicen had a very tense relationship. Su Ran said that Su Yicen's injury was an accident, but in fact she wanted to tell him that someone had created this accident, and Su Ran suspected that this person was Huiyu.
No, it should not be doubt, but certainty. It’s just because Huiyu is a member of the Gu family and she can’t do anything to Huiyu, so she told him in such a subtle way.
But why didn't she tell Yun Chen
The old man changed his mind and realized that Huiyu was Yunchen’s mother, and she didn’t want to embarrass Yunchen!
Su Ran pursed her lips and said hesitantly: "Grandpa, actually I have something else to tell you."
Han Dong repeatedly warned her not to be impulsive, but Su Ran thought she could give it a try, just based on what the old man said... If Cheng Lin could leave a will, he would definitely take good care of the person he loves.
"you say."
"My relative was pregnant with a child 26 years ago."
The old man's eyes flashed and his head buzzed, as if a thunder exploded in his brain.
26 years ago, Su Yicen was pregnant with a child? Then... could that child be Cheng Lin's
Does Cheng Lin have any descendants
Gu Yunchen was pulled out of the ward by Ning Xi. Looking back, he found that the door of the ward was still closed. Gu Yunchen was puzzled: "Ning Xi, how come Su Ran's mother knows my uncle?"
"How should I know? But, since my aunt knows your mother, it's not surprising that she knows your uncle." Ning Xi herself didn't understand it either, as she had never heard Su Ran mention it.
"By the way, where is your uncle? I didn't see him at your grandfather's birthday party last time."
"My uncle died in a car accident twenty-six years ago."
Ning Xi: …
"sorry!"
"It's okay. I have no impression of my little uncle. No one in my family ever mentions him because my grandfather loved him the most. When my little uncle died unexpectedly, my grandfather almost didn't recover."
"So that's why you got so nervous when Su Ran mentioned your uncle?"
"Yeah! I'm afraid grandpa will get excited." Gu Yunchen said, looking to the other end of the corridor.
Jiang Xinyan was walking towards this side.
I've been attending the China Online Literature Week in Hangzhou these days, so the updates aren't very frequent. I hope you guys understand.
