The husband and wife returned home in silence. In the cafe, the words that the husband said remained in Zhang Xiubing's mind for a long time and could not be forgotten.
After his wife returned to the bedroom, Li Hao took out his mobile phone, found the phone number in the notes on the mobile phone that he thought he would never call again, and called.
"That woman already knew Jiaojiao's identity and found our home today."
After hearing Li Hao's words, the person on the other end of the phone just said.
"You don't have to worry about this, someone will handle it."
The two men didn't say much, but Li Hao couldn't hold back his mouth before hanging up the phone.
"...Aren't you really going to recognize Jiaojiao?"
After all, he is his biological daughter. Li Hao doesn't understand the thoughts of these rich people. Is a son so important? Isn't it also your own blood
"It's best not to let her know all this."
The man on the other end of the phone gave the answer, which was very obvious.
After finally hanging up the phone, Li Hao went into the bedroom to look for his wife. Zhang Xiubing, who was sitting there, had red eyes, and at a glance, he knew that he had cried.
"Wife, it's my fault. I've been hiding it from you for so many years."
Li Hao squatted in front of Zhang Xiubing, took Zhang Xiubing's hand, raised his head and apologized. So far, he still doesn't know whether his actions are right or wrong, but without absolute right and wrong, he can only Choose outcomes that are good for everyone.
Zhang Xiubing looked at her husband coldly, her mind was very confused, it was all the words of that woman.
"So what the woman said today is true? Jiaojiao is not my daughter, is that so?"
All this is so absurd, as a mother, she doesn't even know if her daughter is her own child...
"Yes, Jiaojiao is neither your daughter nor my daughter. This matter started thirteen years ago. I can tell you one by one."
Li Hao nodded, he knew the truth of all this, but the more he knew, the more he understood the powerlessness of reality, so when he saw his wife's red eyes, his eyes became a little more sour.
"Thirteen years ago, not long after you gave birth to Jinyan, the two of us discussed changing the kindergarten for Jiaojiao, do you remember? That kindergarten needs to prove the identity of the child, in addition to the parents' education, DNA identification is also required. After confirming the relationship between parents and children, after I applied for Jiaojiao, I went to the hospital and had a DNA test, and I also knew at that time that Jiaojiao was not our daughter."
At that time, Li Jiaojiao was five years old, and she was also held in the palms of their hands by Li Hao and Zhang Xiubing. Although she was a daughter, she was the first child. Naturally, she was very fond of her. Even if she gave birth to a boy, Li Jiaojiao was still at home. Favorite little girl.
"Then why didn't you tell me?" Tears finally fell, Zhang Xiubing was saddened by her husband's concealment, and even more sad that Jiaojiao was not her daughter, and the son that the woman said, all of which made Zhang Xiubing feel in a mess.
"I don't know what to tell you, because I was very surprised and scared when I found out about this at the time. I went to Renai Hospital to find evidence that you had given birth to your child, but... I met Jiaojiao's father, Or rather, they're waiting for me."
The scenes from more than ten years ago seemed to be still in front of him. Li Hao remembered his nervousness when he saw Li Long Jinlin at that time. Now that he thinks about it, it is not nervousness, it is just from the sense of distance between positions.
"What?" Zhang Xiubing didn't understand her husband's words.
"When you gave birth at Renai Hospital, there happened to be a pregnant woman who also gave birth at the same time. That pregnant woman gave birth to the child of Long Jinlin of Long's Group. Her aunt was the head nurse of Renai Hospital. After the pregnant woman gave birth to a daughter, she was afraid that Long Jinlin would be irresponsible, so she secretly replaced our son and sent Jiaojiao to us. At that time, a nurse told us that the gender was wrong, and we had no doubts. It was replaced at that time."
When Li Hao heard this strange thing for the first time, he couldn't accept it. If that's the case, then Long Jinlin had discovered all this long ago, so why didn't he want to tell him? Why not bring the child back
But now, Li Hao doesn't want to worry about those anymore, because he is too small, and there are too few things he can do.
"I met Long Jinlin, the person in charge of the Long Group. You should have seen it in the news. When his son Longxiao held a 100-day banquet, he got 15% of the shares of the Long Group. When Long Xiao became an adult, he got 15% of the shares of the Long Group. The people of the Long family dote on him very much and like him very much. He is very good... "
When Zhang Xiubing heard the name Long Xiao, she knew that the person her husband was talking about was her son, but her mood was even more complicated. An indescribable powerlessness suddenly came to her mind. She didn't expect her son to be in such a family. Growing up, in a sense, it was their son who got the light.
"Long Jinlin is not short of women, in fact, he is not short of sons, but he likes Long Xiao, loves Long Xiao, and even chose to marry Jiang Xueqi for Long Xiao, just to make Long Xiao a married child. Before, he knew that Long Xiao was not his child, and even investigated our family. Wife, do you remember? At that time, my company was working hard to start a business, and then I got an investment, and then the company got better and better. I thought I had met a noble person, but later I learned that this investment was given by Long Jinlin, because he did not want to return Long Xiao."
This matter should have come to an end thirteen years ago. He only hit the stone with the egg when he went to the Long Group, so in order to avoid his wife's sadness, he didn't even dare to tell his wife about it.
"At that time, President Long gave me two choices. One was to keep Jiaojiao, and when Long Xiao grew up, he would tell Long Xiao the truth. We still have a day to recognize our relatives, and the other was to send Jiaojiao as well. Keep it for him, there is only one gentleman left by our side, and Mr. Long said that he would not let us touch Long Xiao again."
Maybe these words sounded a bit cruel now, but in that case, Long Jinlin's position was enough for Li Hao to compromise, because as long as Long Jinlin was willing, he could easily destroy everything Li Hao had.
But he didn't do that. Over the years, Li Hao's company has always had the support of the Long Group, otherwise it wouldn't be able to grow bigger and bigger now.
Zhang Xiubing's tears fell, and she naturally understood her husband's meaning. At that time, even if they started a business, they only had less than 2 million on hand. Compared with the Long Group with assets of 100 billion, their husband and wife were real. can't resist, even if the son is taken away, there is no way to get it back, and...
Almost everyone in the world knows how Long Jinlin, the person in power of the Long Group, loves his only son, Long Xiao, and Zhang Xiubing naturally knows it.
But even so, Zhang Xiubing didn't know what to say for a while.
"Let me be quiet for a while, husband, I need to think about it."
This incident had a great impact on her, making Zhang Xiubing always think of her daughter when she was a child. She suddenly remembered that when her daughter was five years old, her husband once asked her what if they had a son, but what did she do? said
Said by myself... There are already two children in the family. If there is another child, some of them will not be able to support them, and the children will complain that they are parents.
Thinking of what she said at the time, Zhang Xiubing couldn't wait to slap her at that time!
If only I had said I wanted that child at the time...
Li Hao didn't say anything. He gave his wife space to calm down. He knew that he was wrong. Maybe he shouldn't hide it from his wife, but he was afraid that his wife would miss his son too much and act impulsive. on the son.
No adoptive parent would want to watch their well-raised child love their biological parents.
For so many years, Li Hao seldom wanted to get close to the Long Group. He only occasionally paid attention to Long Xiao's news secretly. He was satisfied with Long Xiao's news. He knew that Long Jinlin definitely didn't want him and his wife to be close to Long Xiao.
He did the same, and didn't let Jiaojiao come into contact with the people of the Long Group.
Because of this, they can continue to maintain two disjoint parallel lines and choose their own destiny.
Here, the Li family already knew about Long Xiao, and in the Long family's villa, Mr. Long was already asleep, and Long Jinlin rarely drank wine.
In this villa, drink whisky.
When Long Xiao came back, he saw his father sitting in the living room drinking. He seemed to be in a bad mood, so he walked over.
"Dad? Why are you drinking here alone?"
He sat down, poured himself a glass of wine, and frowned after taking a sip.
He doesn't like the taste of whisky, he's not used to it.
Only then did Long Jinlin raise his eyes to look at his adult son. This child who never knew how to speak and grew up in his arms is now a child who can take responsibility.
"You asked Assistant Wang to investigate Li Jiaojiao?"
He asked directly, making Long Xiao also look at his father, with a bit of seriousness and seriousness in his dark eyes.
"Well, does Dad know?"
The eyes of the two met, in fact, they already understood each other's thoughts. The father and son had been so close for 18 years, but at this glance, Long Jinlin could see that his son knew about it.
"Ah Xiao, in Dad's heart, no matter whose blood you have, you are Dad's son, Dad's only son."
Long Jinlin stood up, came to Long Xiao, bent down, and suddenly stretched out his hand, rubbing Long Xiao's hair like he was rubbing Long Xiao's head when he was a child, with the gentleness unique to his father.
Long Xiao let his father touch him, and then raised his head when there was no strength on his head.
"What about Dad's biological daughter? Does Dad not care?"
The reason for investigating this matter is that he used his father's eyeliner to investigate. Long Xiao just wanted to let Long Jinlin know about this matter, because he didn't care about his identity, but just felt that his father had the right to know the existence of his biological daughter.
Seeing his son's concern, Long Jinlin laughed, his eyes full of love.
"Axiao, my father is very selfish. I hope that Axiao has only one father, and his father is only willing to be your father. Others are just blood-related strangers to my father."
