Lin Family Mansion, Lin Jiahua woke up from his dream before dawn in the morning. When he got up, he went into the study, not allowing anyone to come in and disturb him, and locked himself in there for several hours.
Stepwife Xu Manyuan knocked on the door several times, but got no response.
Lin Yueming was busy in the company when he heard a call from his mother. After answering the call, he said: "Isn't he always like this these years? Mom, why are you so worried? Let dad stay alone and don't disturb him. The more expressive you are. If you don't care, he will feel more guilty towards you later."
Xu Manyuan frowned: "He thought of that woman again, Mingming, Mom is afraid that he will get old and confused, and then he thought of that woman's kindness and left the family property to Lin Jianshen. Then our mothers will be able to what to do?"
After she finished speaking, Lin Yueming said: "We have been with him for so many years. It is good for him to remember us. Besides, mom, don't underestimate your son. I have been in the company for several years. He should be trained. I have also trained the team, so I won’t be afraid of anything even if Lin Jianshen comes.”
Xu Manyuan sighed: "How can a living person be better than a dead person? I heard that he and that woman were in free love. Otherwise, how could a country girl marry into the Lin family? Now that your father is old, people like to recall the past when they are old, pointing out Maybe when your head gets hot, you become confused?"
Lin Yueming said he was very confident, but in fact he was not confident in his heart.
His mother got married and was pregnant with a child before she entered this wealthy family. Xu Manyuan was better at knowing and knowing Lin Jiahua's confidante outside. Xu Manyuan never cared about it, so her position as the wife of a wealthy family was secure.
But in fact, her status in the Lin family was not very high. It was the son and daughter Xu Manyuan gave birth to for Lin Jiahua that won him some favor.
For example, today, Lin Jiahua doesn't want to see anyone. No one can see him in this room, and the same goes for Xu Manyuan.
Today is the death anniversary of Lin Jiahua's first wife. He will be depressed for a period of time every year on this day. It is precisely because of his love for his first wife that Xu Manyuan and Lin Yueming are very afraid of Lin Jian.
Although they didn't know what the rift between the father and son was, they knew that once the relationship between Lin Jiahua and Lin Jianshen eased, there would be no place for them in the Lin family.
Lin Yueming comforted his mother, and at the same time comforted himself: "Mom, don't think so much. I know Lin Jianshen a little bit. He is too aloof. It is definitely impossible for him to reconcile with his father. He is probably hating him to death now." Lin."
Speaking of this, Xu Manyuan also had thoughts: "Lin Jianshen became the son-in-law of the Yu family. Although the Yu family made a fortune late, it should not be underestimated. Mom couldn't help but panic, and she was afraid that he would take advantage of the Yu family's influence. It’s aimed at you.”
There was silence on the phone for a moment, and Lin Yueming said in a deep voice: "As long as we seize the opportunity and strike first, we have nothing to fear."
After ending the call, Xu Manyuan sat in the room uneasily for a long time. Suddenly she heard the servant calling her out, saying that Mr. Lin had called her for something.
Xu Manyuan was overjoyed and came to the study to see Lin Jiahua.
Lin Jiahua has aged very quickly this year, and most of his hair has turned gray. He has a bad heart, and basically leaves all the affairs of the company to his son. He loves to play chess and write Chinese characters every day, and he pays more and more attention to his health.
"Wait a minute, call Jianshen and ask him to come back for dinner in the evening."
Lin Jiahua stood behind the desk, holding the brush and lowering his head, writing big characters seriously, as if this sentence was just said casually and it was an ordinary household saying.
However, Xu Manyuan's heart sank. She tried her best to hide her expression and smiled gently: "This... isn't Jianshen filming in S city?"
Lin Jiahua said: "He will go back to x city to visit his mother today. Just go and tell him whether you want to come to see him or not."
"Okay, I'm going."
As soon as she turned around, her smiling face suddenly turned gloomy, and she gritted her teeth in hatred.
…
Yu Mian asked her family's driver to take her to the city center, and then took a taxi to the Evergreen Cemetery in the western suburbs of the city.
This is a large cemetery in X City, where Yu Mian's parents are buried.
Evergreen Cemetery covers a large area. I heard that the government hired a Feng Shui master during the planning process and specially selected a Feng Shui treasure land. Generally, people who die in X City are buried in the cemetery.
Yu Mian used to come here to visit her parents every year. The day she died in a car accident happened to be the day to visit her parents again, so she was in the suburbs of the city instead of at home.
Unexpectedly, when I came here again, there would be more people visiting.
Yu Mian was very familiar with her parents' tombs. She walked along the road between the cemeteries and looked at the small tombstones standing around. Each stone was engraved with different words. These were the names of those who had left. The last trace left by a person in the world.
There are not many people in the cemetery, only one or two silent dark figures can be seen, standing in front of the small tombstone, like another larger and heavier stone monument.
Perhaps due to the influence of the atmosphere, Yu Mian's mood was also much lower.
She came to her parents' tombstone and stood silently, staring at the two names engraved on the top of the tombstone. She silently said all the words she wanted to say and the experiences of these days in her heart.
"Mom and Dad, I am living a good life here. Mianmian now has a family and many people who love me. I am very happy. You must also live a good life in the new world."
"Although I have a new home, I will never forget you. I will come to see you every year in the future and burn a lot of paper money for you, okay? I'm just too tired to live alone. My new parents are very good to me. Okay, I’ll call them mom and dad, don’t be jealous and don’t blame Mianmian.”
After talking to her parents for a long time, Yu Mian turned to look to the right, leaning against another new tombstone of her father.
On that tombstone were engraved the four characters "Yu Mian's Tomb". There were a few withered chrysanthemums lying in front of the tombstone. Apparently someone had visited her not long ago.
Yu Mian's eyes slowly became wet. She knelt down and moved closer to touch the cold black marble.
"Yu Mianmian, thank you for giving me this wonderful life. I will take good care of your parents. I hope you can live happily in the new world."
Warm tears slid down her cheeks, becoming cold and dry when blown by the wind.
"Yu Mian?"
At this moment, a familiar male voice with hesitation suddenly sounded from behind.
Yu Mian suddenly came back to her senses. She quickly stood up and turned around, and saw an unexpected person.
"Lin Jianshen!"
The girl's eyes widened in fear, her eyes were red, her face and lips were pale, the tip of her nose was red from the cold, and there were tears on her face.
The man in the black coat frowned subconsciously. He walked closer to her in a few steps. At the same time, he took off his coat without hesitation and quickly unfolded it to wrap her up.
He pinched the collar of his coat with his hands, hugged the petite girl tightly, bent slightly and stared down at her.
"What are you doing here?"
Yu Mian raised her little face, her mind went blank, she didn't react at all, and she was in a state of fear. She was afraid of being discovered by him. She was not the real Yu Mian, just a fake.
How long had he been here, and had he heard what she said
Faced with his inquiry, she responded in a panic: "I, I'm here to express condolences."
Only then did Lin Jianshen have time to glance at the tombstone next to him. The name on the tombstone pierced his eyes, causing his pupils to shrink suddenly.
As if noticing the shock in his expression, Yu Mian hurriedly explained: "Well, do you remember, the day we first met, in the hospital, the person who had the same name as me was in a car accident, that's the person, I just came here Look at her, I..."
She seemed anxious and nervous, and her lips and eyelashes were trembling violently. He could tell that she was afraid.
What is she afraid of? Also, it was not the first time they met in the hospital. The two parties had met formally twice before to confirm the engagement. Did she remember it wrong, or was it for other reasons
Lin Jian's deep eyes were filled with deep thoughts, and he was keenly aware that there was a hidden secret in her body, and this secret was probably related to him.
Now was not the time to delve into this. Lin Jianshen put his hands against her small chin and gently rubbed her cold face with his fingertips.
"Don't be anxious, I remember it all, we will go find her together." He held her gently and calmed her panic with a smooth and soft tone, "Your face is so cold, is it cold? Let's go back first and wait. Let’s talk about it when we get home, okay?”
Yu Mian looked back at him uneasily. Under his gentle soothing, she finally relaxed slowly.
Judging from his expression, he shouldn't have any doubts, right
Only then did she remember to ask him: "I'm okay, not very cold. Why are you here?"
She was wrapped tightly by him, and the thick coat carried the warmth of his body, completely blocking the cold wind from the outside world, like a warm fortress.
Yu Mian retracted his face and smelled a light fresh smell, which smelled very good. Lin Jianshen had already let go of her. He was buttoning her coat, eyes lowered, and his long white fingers moving carefully.
Lin Jianshen said calmly: "Today is the anniversary of my mother's death. I am here to visit her."
All he had left was a dark blue woolen sweater with a high collar. Against the gray sky and dark background, he looked even more extraordinarily handsome.
Yu Mian raised her eyes and faced the beauty so close to her face that she almost held her breath.
Really not knowing how to comfort him, she said dryly: "Don't be sad."
After buttoning his clothes, Lin Jianshen lowered his hand, naturally took one of her little hands and put it in his palm.
He smiled slightly, rubbed her head and said, "Don't be sad. My mother has been gone for many years. Come on, I will take you home."
Yu Mian obediently agreed, and Lin Jianshen gave her the clothes. She was afraid that he would freeze, so she would go back even if he didn't say anything.
When I came, I was alone, walking through the stone steps in the cemetery, lonely and lonely. When I returned, I had become two shadows holding hands and relying on each other.
Getting farther and farther away from the tombstone behind him, Yu Mian said silently in his heart: "Mom, Dad, have you seen it? The person walking beside me is my lover. He is very good. I like him very much."
