144 I don’t want to see
Because of that report, Lin Chu became famous. Although Yan Beicheng quickly suppressed the matter and did not make it big. But after all, Lin Chu had Baidu Encyclopedia, which had his birth date, but not the specific date.
Even so, when the middle-aged woman saw the six identical numbers in front of her, she couldn't help but be excited.
She took out another photo from her bag and gave it to the old dean, "This is a photo of me when I was young. It looks very similar to her. That's why I thought, could she be my daughter?"
She had been here twice before, once on New Year's Eve. It was dark and she couldn't see anyone clearly.
It was Lin Chu who came back with New Year's Eve in his arms and asked her at the door. But because the light was too dark at the time, she didn't see clearly.
The second time, on the afternoon of Qi Youxuan's birthday, Lin Chu and Yan Beicheng came out and happened to see her at the door.
At that time, she really saw Lin Chu's appearance. She saw that Lin Chu was so good-looking, had an outstanding temperament, and was wearing good clothes. Looking at Yanbeicheng next to it, it looks even more graceful and graceful, with a clear breeze and a bright moon.
She felt ashamed at that time, feeling that she could not even lift her head in front of two such outstanding people, and wished she could shrink into a crack in the ground.
Although she was still not sure whether Lin Chu was her daughter, there were so many coincidences and she was so similar to her when she was young. In her heart, she already regarded Lin Chu as the daughter she had abandoned at the beginning.
Thinking of his original behavior, he was even more embarrassed to see Lin Chu, so he fled awkwardly.
"I've been here twice, but I still don't have the courage to press the doorbell." The middle-aged woman cried and grabbed the iron railings on the door because she had nowhere to put her hands.
"Old dean, can you tell me, right? Is she?" The middle-aged woman looked at the old dean full of hope.
The old dean frowned slightly. She didn't know this woman well, but because this woman could ruthlessly throw Lin Chu away, the old dean had the first impression of displeasure in his heart.
Moreover, although this middle-aged woman said that she did not covet Lin Chu for anything, she just wanted to see her from a distance. But who knows what you really think about
Although the old dean has a kind heart, he is not without guarding against others, nor does he think everyone is a good person.
How can a person be good if he can throw away his own flesh and blood
The old dean was thinking, moreover, Lin Chu finally had a good life now, the second elder of the Yan family liked her so much, and Yan Beicheng loved her so much.
The old dean didn't want to rashly appoint a woman of unknown origin and disrupt Lin Chu's peaceful life.
Moreover, Jiang Changdai's mother and daughter, plus Lu Weining, were still watching covetously.
"I'm not sure. I don't remember Lin Chu's birthday very clearly. I have to go back and look through the files." The old dean said, "In this case, you can leave your contact information to me. When I check it, I will Contact you." The old dean said.
The middle-aged woman couldn't tell that this was the old dean's excuse, and she didn't care. She grabbed the old dean's arm with both hands and cried: "Old dean, please believe me, I really don't want to do it." Whatever she gets. Even if it’s not Lin Chu but another girl, as long as it’s my daughter, I’ll be satisfied.”
"No matter who she is, in my eyes, she is just my daughter, no other identity. I know it was a mistake I made when I was young, and I have no shame to recognize her again. So I really just want to see her, without calling her It's okay for her to know my identity. I just want to say a few words and want to know how she is doing. I won't disturb her life. How it was before is how it is now. I have no face to recognize her. I really have no face. Recognize her."
"I... don't deserve..." the middle-aged woman cried quietly.
The old dean was not moved, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't want to deceive you. It's true that I can't remember it, so I have to go back and check the files for comparison. When I find it, I will definitely contact you."
In short, there is nothing a middle-aged woman can do even if she insists that she cannot remember it, even if she does not believe it.
"Don't worry." The old dean said again.
The middle-aged woman had no choice but to give her cell phone number to the old dean.
The old dean had no intention of inviting her in to sit down. The middle-aged woman lowered her eyes sadly, knowing that the old dean probably didn't want to see her.
Yes, I threw away the child so cruelly, and even thinking about it now, I feel ashamed.
She really just wanted to see the child and didn't want anything from the child. She knew she didn't deserve it.
"Then... then I'm going to excuse you." The middle-aged woman said.
The old dean nodded politely, closed the door and went back.
The middle-aged woman turned around. She was so lost that she forgot the direction she came from and just walked around randomly.
"Hello." Suddenly, he was blocked by a person in front of him.
She lowered her head and saw a pair of shoes in front of her. The uppers were exquisitely printed with lace. They were very beautiful and completely different from the leather shoes she had worn for several years.
What came to my ears was a young female voice, clear and sweet, but it was not Lin Chu's voice.
Although she had only met him twice and ran away each time, she still remembered Lin Chu's voice deeply in her heart.
Lin Chu's voice was gentle and sweet, pleasant to the ear, and very comfortable, making people feel close to her unconsciously.
The voice in front of me sounded nice, but it was a little proud. After hearing it, I would unconsciously keep a distance from her, not wanting to get too close to her.
Instinctively, she took two steps back, looked up, and saw a young and beautiful girl with a noble temperament in front of her.
Lu Weining did not expect such a big harvest today.
There was no threat to the orphanage, so she wanted to come and have a look, wondering if there was any other way. As soon as we parked the car, we saw this middle-aged woman standing at the door of the orphanage ringing the bell.
Lu Weining was not in a hurry to go down. After all, she had not thought about how to tell the old dean, and there was an outsider here, so she couldn't say anything.
As a result, not long after, I saw the old dean coming out. After saying a few words, the woman started crying.
Lu Weining raised his eyebrows, feeling strange, thinking that he might be able to take advantage of the old dean's hand or something. Then he quietly got out of the car and leaned closer to listen to their conversation.
The old dean was shocked by the sudden appearance of Lin Chu's mother, and the middle-aged woman was all focused on Lin Chu. At the same time, she was worried that the old dean would be angry, and she did not notice Lu Weining hiding aside.
After the old dean and the middle-aged woman finished talking and left, the middle-aged woman lowered her head and was stopped by Lu Weining.
Lu Weining took out his business card from his bag and handed it to the middle-aged woman, "I am Lu Weining. I wanted to come to see the old dean, but I overheard what you said."
The middle-aged woman's expression changed, and she couldn't tell whether she was unhappy or embarrassed, and she immediately fell silent.
Lu Weining quickly said: "Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I don't mean any harm to you, I just heard you mention Lin Chu—"
The middle-aged woman blurted out in surprise, "Do you know Lin Chu?"
Lu Weining nodded, and the middle-aged woman asked hesitantly: "You... are familiar with the orphanage?"
Lu Weining nodded and smiled: "I'm very familiar with Lin Chu and Beicheng, and I'm also familiar with the orphanage."
We are indeed familiar with each other, but the relationship is not good.
Lu Weining didn't lie, but it was specific, so there was no need to let the middle-aged woman in front of him know.
"I also heard what the old dean said just now. It seems that he does not intend to let you meet Lin Chu, even secretly. However, this is understandable. After all, she doesn't know you well, and she is afraid of what you say. I don’t want to recognize my daughter, but knowing Lin Chu’s current identity, I still want to recognize her and take advantage of her,” Lu Weining said.
"I don't—" the middle-aged woman cried excitedly again.
Lu Weining didn't want to fight with her on the street, it wouldn't look good. Moreover, judging from the behavior of this middle-aged woman, she is not very smart.
Lu Weining's heart changed. The smile on his face was still kind, but he interrupted the middle-aged woman, "Why don't we find a place to sit down and talk slowly? It's not appropriate to talk about this on the street."
The middle-aged woman was still crying. After hearing this, she nodded quickly and said, "That's right."
"My car is parked over there." Lu Weining pointed to his Audi trot parked on the side of the road.
The middle-aged woman originally thought Lu Weining was a rich person based on her behavior and appearance, but now she has no doubts anymore when she looks at this car.
It's not surprising after thinking about it. The friends Lin Chu and Yan Beicheng knew must be rich.
Lu Weining took the middle-aged woman to a private club and asked for a private room, which was quite cautious.
It was the first time for a middle-aged woman to visit such a high-end place. When she got off the car and saw the appearance of the club, she couldn't help but marvel in her heart. She couldn't control her eyes and kept looking around, but she didn't look greedy. .
Entering the private room, the middle-aged woman looked around at the luxurious and exquisite room, and followed Lu Weining to a large round table.
This room is big, and so is the table. This big table, the middle-aged woman estimated, is spacious enough to seat twenty or thirty people. This is just a place to eat. It's like a small living room next to it, with a lot of sofas, coffee tables, and TVs.
The middle-aged woman has never seen such a high-end place in her life.
Lu Weining pointed to the chair, "Please sit down."
The middle-aged woman nodded, feeling a little embarrassed. She put her hands on her clothes before sitting down. Lu Weining sat next to her.
"This is a club under our company. We usually discuss business with customers directly here." Lu Weining said.
To put it bluntly, some bosses want to have a meal or something with their stars, so Xingchuang provides such a place. It's your own place, feel free to use it.
There are celebrities under the company who don't care about unspoken rules and want to use people to get to the top, so it's great to be here. They are all people under Xingchuang and will not talk nonsense outside.
To put it bluntly, Xingchuang doesn't mind doing some pimping for its artists. The premise is that they are willing, Xingchuang will not force them. It's just because these artists will find their own solutions in private. Instead of letting them mess around on their own and having to rush to public relations if something goes wrong, it would be better for Xingchuang to take over the job themselves.
"You...are you Lin Chu's good friend?" the middle-aged woman asked.
Lu Weining thought for a while, "How should I put it? I have a very good relationship with my mother and sister in Beicheng, and that's how I met Lin Chu. Although we are not good friends, we are still friends."
The middle-aged woman nodded, then thought of something, and then said sheepishly: "I have always forgotten to introduce myself. My name is Dai Huimin."
"Hello, Auntie." Lu Weining said generously.
Dai Huimin hesitated for a moment, and when she saw Lu Weining pouring tea for her, she hurriedly held the cup and kept saying "thank you", and then asked: "You... can you help me meet Lin Chu?"
Lu Weining lowered his eyes and thought for a while before saying: "To tell you the truth, I also have the worries that the old dean has. Do you really just want to take a look at her and nothing else? You know, Lin Chu is now Her status is different. She is with Yan Beicheng and has entered the upper-class social circle. I am afraid she does not want to have any... changes. "
"Your identity will really be a drag on her. It's okay to say that she is just an orphan now. But once people know..." Lu Weining paused, "Don't mind if I speak more straightforwardly. From what I see in your appearance, your life is probably not rich."
Dai Huimin nodded awkwardly.
"That's why I'm worried, despite the fact that you abandoned her in the first place. Now that she has such a good home, I'm afraid she doesn't want to have any accidents, and maybe she doesn't want to see you either." Lu Weining said sincerely, holding a cup and drinking. Had some tea.
Through the rising white heat, I could see Dai Huimin's bean-like tears falling down one by one.
"I really have no other ideas, even if I don't let her know that I am her mother. When you go to see her, take me with you. Even if you say that I am your servant, just let me take a closer look. She, just say a few words to her." Dai Huimin wiped her tears and said, "Miss Lu, please believe me. Where do I have the face to recognize her again? I left her behind so cruelly, Over the years, I have always thought about what she looked like when she was a baby. I have never done anything for her, and I am even more embarrassed to recognize her. I will not cause trouble to her or hold her back. You believe me, please."
Lu Weining seemed to hesitate for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Well... okay. I'll help you. But I regard Lin Chu as a friend. If you go to see her, she will definitely be unhappy, and she may even I hate you too. So I can’t come forward to introduce you to Lin Chu."
"Then..." Dai Huimin immediately became anxious.
"Don't worry, just listen to me." Lu Weining poured herself another cup of tea, "But I can take you to where Lin Chu works. Beicheng will pick her up from work every night, so you can go there at that time It's not appropriate. As for the weekend, the two of them must be together, and I don't think Lin Chu wants Beicheng to know your existence."
After saying that, she stopped talking, but Dai Huimin understood what she meant.
Lin Chu must have disliked her for being embarrassed.
But Dai Huimin owed Lin Chu a lot and felt that Lin Chu should think whatever he thought, so he didn't feel any dissatisfaction.
"So I can only go by at noon. It's not convenient for me to show up. Then I will bring you to the door of Lin Chu's company. It's up to you what to do." Lu Weining said.
Dai Huimin nodded hurriedly, "I'm very satisfied if I can do this."
…
Here, the old dean did not hide this matter from Lin Chu.
No matter what, this is Lin Chu's matter, and it is Lin Chu who makes the final decision. She does not have this right.
So after thinking about it, I called Lin Chu.
At this time, Lin Chu and Yan Beicheng were still on their way to their old house.
Lin Chu's cell phone rang a few times, and then Qiaoyan Beicheng's cell phone rang too.
Yan Beicheng glanced at her phone, and Lin Chu also chuckled slightly.
Yan Beicheng curled his lips, turned the steering wheel, and stopped on the side of the road.
Lin Chu answered the phone, and Yan Beicheng also took out his mobile phone. When he saw the call, it was from the person he sent to keep an eye on the door of the orphanage.
After Yan Ningbai's birthday last time, Lin Chu said that the middle-aged woman he met when he came out had been there before. On Yan Ningbai's birthday, she went there secretly again.
Although he felt that the woman could not make any waves, she was still acting suspiciously. Yan Beicheng actually had someone go to the orphanage gate to keep an eye on her. If he saw her again, he would investigate immediately.
But since then, the woman has never been here again. Even Yan Beicheng had somewhat forgotten about the woman. At this moment, the person assigned to keep an eye on the person suddenly called again, and Yan Beicheng's expression unconsciously became serious.
Seeing that Lin Chu had answered the phone, he got out of the car.
It's not that Lin Chu will hear it, this is just for Lin Chu's investigation. However, the space in the car is limited, and it is not convenient for two people to make calls at the same time.
"Hello." Yan Beicheng stood beside the car, his voice was light and low.
In the car, Lin Chu felt confused when he heard the old dean's words. He couldn't tell what he was feeling, and his mind went blank.
She has been in an orphanage for as long as she can remember. The old dean said that she was in the orphanage when she was a little baby.
When the old director found her, she was wrapped in a small quilt and lying at the iron gate of the orphanage. Fortunately, it was autumn and the weather was neither hot nor cold, so nothing happened to her as she lay in the quilt.
That is to say, she was thrown away by her mother right after she was born.
Later, when I saw the news, there were also many young girls who were not familiar with the world. They got into trouble because of the novelty of the moment, gave birth to children, and were unable to raise them. Or they were afraid of being blamed by their family members, so they evaded responsibility and threw away the children directly.
Lin Chu also thought that she might be like this too.
But there was no hatred in my heart for the biological mother I had never met before. She was not her holy mother. I just felt that she was a stranger and had nothing to do with her. She didn't care whether she threw it away or not. She grew up in an orphanage, just like an ordinary child except that she had no parents.
Since I have never seen it before, what are you still thinking about doing
I have no emotion at all towards that so-called mother. There is no resentment or longing. Of course, I never thought about meeting him.
But now, that person has actually come.
Not a few years apart, but twenty-five years apart.
"I didn't promise her, and I didn't tell her anything. She herself suspected that you were. I just said that I am old and have a bad memory, so I have to check the files. It's just an obvious excuse. She must also know it, otherwise she wouldn't listen to it. Just hold me and cry." The old dean said, "So I will tell you this and you can decide for yourself. If you want to see her, then meet her. If you don't want to, I will help you deal with it."
"I don't want to meet her." Lin Chu said without thinking, with a soft but firm voice, "What's the point of meeting her now. There is no emotion anyway. I haven't known her since I was a child. If it weren't for the news before, She won't know me either. She stopped looking for me a long time ago, and now she's doing the opposite. Even if she comes to find me, I can't treat her as filial as a mother, or even as a respectable elder. I always feel resentful in my heart. Yes, whether she is sincere or pretending, I can't treat her as if nothing happened. I'm afraid I won't even be able to give her an ordinary smile. It's better not to see each other and pretend nothing happened. Live. Each lives his or her own life. Just as it was before, so will it be in the future."
