210 No one can question my identity
Yan Beicheng took a utility knife and cut open the tape, found a photo album inside, closed the box, thought for a while, found the tape and sealed it. And he planned to take this photo album home.
After putting the box back, he opened the study door and saw Mr. Yan face to face.
"Grandpa." Yan Beicheng called after being stunned.
Mr. Yan nodded and explained: "I'm thirsty. Get up and drink a glass of water. Why didn't you go to bed early and went to the study?"
As he said that, his eyes fell on the photo album in Yan Beicheng's hand, and his original sleepiness immediately dissipated. His eyes, which were somewhat cloudy due to age, were fixed on it, and he couldn't help but turn red.
Yan Beicheng's throat was also a little dry, and he didn't want his elders to feel sad seeing this. Because the box had been sealed all year round, even though the two elders always remembered Yan Huaiyuan in their hearts, they never had the courage to look at his voice and smile again, so Yan Beicheng took the photo album and was not afraid that the two elders would know about it.
But now that he was hit, it aroused Mr. Yan's sadness.
Mr. Yan usually looks like a harmless person, but in front of Mrs. Yan, he is just a papery tiger. He can't do anything except curling up his beard, but deep down in his heart, Yan Huaiyuan's hurt is still hidden.
Naturally, Yan Beicheng couldn't tell Mr. Yan what happened to Lu Zhenghang and make him angry again, so he said, "I just talked to Lin Chu about my childhood, and I wanted to let her see dad. At any rate, let her Get to know my father-in-law."
Mr. Yan hid the tears in his eyes and nodded, "Go to bed early after reading this."
Yan Beicheng agreed and watched Mr. Yan return to the house before leaving.
Mr. Yan went back to the bedroom and got into bed. He still couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. He sniffed and wiped his tears secretly. As a result, his emotions were so overwhelming that he couldn't hold it back. He tried hard not to cry, but he tossed and turned in sleep. Not.
Old Mrs. Yan woke up from the commotion and kicked him rudely, "Why are you messing around so late at night? It's time to go to sleep."
Mr. Yan sighed and buried his face in the pillow.
Yan Beicheng returned to the bedroom and found that Lin Chu had put on his pajamas and was sitting on the bed feeling refreshed. The quilt covered him to his waist, and he still smelled of shower gel.
"Why did you go and wash yourself without waiting for me?" Yan Beicheng asked depressedly. He especially enjoyed bathing with Lin Chu. Although he could only touch and eat half of it, it could satisfy his craving.
And although Lin Chu didn't have much flesh on her body after pregnancy, it was unusually soft and very comfortable to hold.
Of course, Yan Beicheng wouldn't tell him. Lin Chu didn't wash with him very often. If he revealed his true purpose, Lin Chu would have to be on guard against him.
So what he said was: "The bathroom floor is slippery. What if you fall? I'd better be there to protect you so you can feel at ease."
Lin Chu spat at him, "Can you wish me something better?"
Yan Beicheng also felt that his crow's mouth was coming true, so he said "bah bah" twice, squeezed into the quilt, and hugged Lin Chu tightly in his arms. He was a little scared, fearing that his crow's mouth would come true, and he wanted to slap himself twice.
Lin Chu looked at it and comforted him, "Okay, okay, you just said that casually and you didn't mean it. If you don't take it seriously, it'll be fine. Besides, I paid attention when I took a shower. I didn’t dare to use the bathtub because I was afraid it would be slippery, so I wore slippers and non-slip mats under my feet.”
Yan Beicheng tightened her grip again, and Lin Chu could feel the tension and concern in his heart under his strength.
"Then I'll wash with you from now on, and then I'll feel relieved when I look at you." Yan Beicheng whispered, his tone a little low.
Lin Chu: “…”
Don't be like this, okay
"Promise me." Yan Beicheng urged, his expression even pitiful.
Lin Chu was the most unable to resist this pitiful offensive.
Unknowingly, he nodded stupidly, "Okay."
Yan Beicheng was happy, with a reserved smile on his lips. A pair of black eyes seemed to be covered with water waves at this time, light, translucent and full of affection. Coupled with his appearance, he had such an amorous expression that no one could resist.
Lin Chu swallowed, and his body went limp uncontrollably. In his mind, he remembered that his thin lips were stained with crystal light, and even his chin was shining with amorous luster.
Seeing that his wife was looking at him dumbfounded, Yan Beicheng was quite satisfied with the fact that he was very handsome. He lowered his head and kissed her slightly silly lips, and patted her head, which was enough to wake Lin Chu up. .
Lin Chu blushed, feeling very embarrassed about his gaffe. He lowered his head indifferently, and after a while he found a topic to save his face, "Didn't you go to the study for something? Why did you come back so soon? I thought you were busy there. , I just went to take a shower first."
"I'm just looking for something." Yan Beicheng patted Lin Chu's shoulder and handed it to Lin Chu, "This is a photo I took when I was a child. My father is in it. You will know it when you look at it. No one will know if they look at it. They will doubt my identity, even if they don’t know that I have the ability to be the head of the family.”
Lin Chu opened it and looked at it. On the first page, it was when Yan Beicheng was a baby. It looked like he had just been able to sit up and was sitting on a man's lap.
Perhaps compared with the baby, the man looked especially tall and graceful with his long waist and legs. The man lowered his head slightly and lowered his eyes, as if you could see the long and densely curled eyelashes on his eyes. Seeing that all his attention was focused on the little baby, his brows were filled with tenderness, as if the little baby was everything to him, and everything he paid for him was worth it.
The hands with elegant bones carefully held the little baby so that he could sit comfortably without getting hurt. The force was very light, for fear of hurting the baby's fragile and soft bones.
Seeing how gentle the man was, Lin Chu felt that if he showed such gentleness to a woman, she might be willing to give everything for him.
With just one glance, Lin Chu recognized that the man in the photo must be Yan Beicheng's father, Yan Huaiyuan.
And the little baby in his arms was Yan Beicheng.
The little Tuantuan's face has not grown yet, and can only vaguely correspond to Yan Beicheng's current facial features. However, Yan Huaiyuan is almost exactly the same as the current mayor of Yanbei City.
Lin Chu continued to look through the pages, which were records of Yan Beicheng's growth day by day. Not every photo was a photo of him and Yan Huaiyuan. Many were photos of himself alone, and photos with the two elders of the Yan family. Not with Jiang Changdai.
Even if he hasn't finished reading it yet, Lin Chu is sure that Jiang Changdai is not included in not just this one, but probably all the photo albums at home.
Maybe Jiang Changdai was not even willing to take photos with them, or maybe after Yan Huaiyuan's accident, the two elders threw away all Jiang Changdai's photos.
Lin Chu looked at the photo album. When Yan Beicheng was more than one year old, he showed his naked body, as well as photos of him running around the house with his butt sticking out, and wearing crotchless pants and playing in the sand outside, showing off With a thick and smooth butt.
There are also several photos of Yan Huaiyuan playing with Yan Beicheng. Neither of them looked at the camera. They were obviously captured by someone. Lin Chu also saw what Yan Huaian looked like when he was a child.
Sure enough, at the end, Jiang Changdai did not appear.
Yan Beicheng explained: "After my father's accident, my grandparents sorted out his things and threw away all Jiang Changdai's things. If there were group photos, they were cut out, but there were only a few in the first place, so it didn't take much effort. It was just that at the beginning The couple’s wedding photos were all burned.”
Lin Chu noticed that Yan Beicheng didn't even bother to call Ms. Jiang anymore. Maybe it was because of seeing the photos, but he became more and more indifferent towards Jiang Changdai, not even caring about her at all.
Lin Chu stared blankly at Yan Huaiyuan's photo, which looked almost like Yan Beicheng's. There is an idea in my mind that Jiang Changdai has been bad to Yan Beicheng since she was a child, and as Yan Beicheng gets older, she becomes more and more excessive. Maybe it is because Yan Beicheng is too similar to Yan Huaiyuan.
Seeing Yan Beicheng is like seeing Yan Huaiyuan.
Whether it was out of guilt for Yan Huaiyuan's death, or her reluctance to marry him, or her resentment towards him, Jiang Changdai was unwilling to face Yan Beicheng.
The guilt towards Yan Huaiyuan made her unwilling to face Yan Beicheng, and the resentment towards Yan Huaiyuan was a kind of empathy, making her resent Yan Beicheng even more.
He didn't see Lin Chu's expression, only saw the lowered back of her head. Even if Yan Beicheng knew her well, he wouldn't have guessed what she was thinking at this moment.
He just said: "You know now, I look very similar to my father. I am almost carved from the same mold. No one can question my identity."
Lin Chu nodded and closed the photo album. Thinking of Yan Huaiyuan's beautiful scenery, she felt sorry for him.
Swallowing the sourness in his heart, he did not dare to look back and let Yan Beicheng see his red eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Can we take this photo album with us?"
Yan Beicheng smiled, feeling happy that Lin Chu and him had thought of going together. As expected, they were of the same mind as husband and wife, "That's why I brought them. These photo albums have always been sealed in the box. Grandpa and grandma never dared to look at them, for fear that they would It's uncomfortable, and the two elders can't bear it now. I just want them to be happy and not be affected by the pain of the past. So the box has been sealed, and it doesn't matter if I take a copy back."
Lin Chu sniffed, carefully put the photo album aside, lowered his head, turned around and got into Yan Beicheng's arms.
Worried that Yan Beicheng would be sad, he deliberately teased: "I didn't expect you to be so chubby when you were a child. I saw you wearing crotchless pants, and your butt exposed is bigger than Ning Bai."
"..." Yan Beicheng pinched her buttocks, "It's not as soft as yours."
Lin Chu: “…”
It seemed as if she heard Yan Beicheng sigh softly and was kissed by him on the forehead and hairline, "It's all in the past. Although it will be sad, as time goes by and your heart calms down, it won't be as painful as before. Don't worry, I'm fine."
"From now on, I will be with you." Lin Chu hugged him tightly, "And we are also going to have a child. We will love him well. He has the love of his parents, the love of his elders, and Yan Huaian, Yu Zi, Ning Bai’s little uncle has a big family who loves him, and he is very happy. I will be a good mother and will not let him be wronged. Then we will discuss whether it is a strict father and a loving mother, or a strict mother and a loving father. I will first I’m eager for you to choose.”
Yan Beicheng was amused by the doting in her tone. He never thought that one day he would be doted on by his wife, as if he was still a child who needed to be coaxed and pampered.
…
The next day, without Lin Chu having to tell her, Yan Beicheng had already asked for leave from Wei Zilin on her behalf. Wei Zilin simply asked Lin Chu to take leave until the weekend and come back to work next Monday.
Lin Chu felt embarrassed when he heard this.
Daqing'er, she has only been working for two days this week, and she hasn't done any serious work yet.
In the end, Wei Zilin smiled very warmly and asked Lin Chu to go back early to pack her things and give her a day off from the afternoon.
Lin Chu: “…”
Fortunately, her colleagues all know her identity and won't say anything about this privilege.
If it were someone else who came in through the back door and had all day off, colleagues in the company would naturally be unhappy. But there was no way, Lin Chu was Yan Beicheng's wife, the daughter-in-law of the Yan family.
People come to work just to kill time, and they don’t lack the salary. This job was purely brought by Yan Beicheng to make Lin Chu happy.
Moreover, when Lin Chu was on vacation, his wages were deducted as needed, and he never missed work to get his wages. Not to mention the lack of perfect attendance, when the salary was announced at the beginning of the month, Zheng Yuntong, who was paid so little, cried out that he felt distressed.
Everything was in accordance with the company's rules and regulations. Except that the company would not fire her no matter how she asked for leave, there were no exceptions. Besides, Wei Zilin and Yan Beicheng are good friends, so they should just give Lin Chu a chair here, even if she is sitting here playing games every day.
Therefore, colleagues do not feel that there is any psychological imbalance.
When Lin Chu came out at noon, he called the old dean and wanted to see her, but he heard that she had been discharged from the hospital.
"Why were you discharged from the hospital so quickly?" Lin Chu asked in surprise.
"Yesterday the doctor gave me a detailed examination, and there is nothing wrong with my body. Why should I stay in the hospital when I'm well? I know Chutian Hospital is good, but no matter how good it is, it's still a hospital, isn't it? I always stay in the hospital, isn't it? Okay." The old dean said, "Ms. Dai came over to deliver food to me around eleven o'clock. After we finished eating, we were discharged from the hospital and went back. Thanks to Ms. Dai for helping me."
Lin Chu said he knew, hung up the phone, called Dai Huimin again and thanked her.
"Lin Chu, don't be so polite to me. These are what I should do." Dai Huimin said, "It makes me feel bad if you are so polite."
Lin Chu smiled and said, "Okay, I won't be polite to you from now on."
Sure enough, Dai Huimin happily agreed.
There was nothing to do in the afternoon. It was still early before lunch. Yan Beicheng didn't even know that Wei Zilin had given Lin Chu a day off in advance, so there was still half an hour before Shao Huai came to pick Lin Chu up.
Lin Chu was afraid that Shao Huai would come and miss him, so he called Yan Beicheng, "Isn't there a shopping mall next to your company? I'll go shopping first. I'll go to T City tomorrow and buy some for Wenren's children. like."
I heard from Yan Beicheng that Wen Ren now has two sons. The eldest son, Wen Xu, is 9 years old, and the younger son, Wen Ming, is still a dumpling under two years old.
Although I don’t know what they like or what their personalities are, but boys come from a strong-blooded place like the Wen family, so there is nothing wrong with buying a masculine one.
"Wait a moment, I'll pick you up, and let's choose together." Yan Beicheng said. There were many people in the mall, and he was worried that Lin Chu would just go there by himself.
Lin Chu understood it as soon as he heard it, so he didn't force it anymore and said, "Otherwise, I'll wait here and you ask Shao Huai to pick me up. I'll go to your company first. After lunch, we can choose together."
In any case, it won't disturb his work.
Yan Beicheng chuckled, understanding her thoughts very well, so he nodded in agreement, "Okay, don't stand on the side of the road. Go back to the company or go to a coffee shop to wait."
"I know, I'm smart." Lin Chu said with a smile.
After hanging up the phone with Yan Beicheng, I became even more lazy because of my pregnancy. I didn't want to take the elevator back to the company and walked directly into the coffee shop behind me.
Because Lu Zhenghang was splashed in the face with hot coffee last time, everyone in the coffee shop, from the manager to the clerk, had a very deep memory of Lin Chu.
Seeing Lin Chu come in, the clerk who was carrying a tray with coffee on the tray took two steps back when he saw Lin Chu. He held the coffee firmly, holding the tray with one hand and covering the coffee with the other, for fear that Lin Chu would snatch it away.
Lin Chu: “…”
The corner of Lin Chu's mouth twitched, remembering that this was the same girl last time. Obviously, the shadow he left behind had the deepest impact on this girl.
"Don't be afraid, I'm just coming in to sit for a while, and I'll leave in a while." Lin Chu said, raising his hand with some sadness, and held up the hair on his forehead with his slender and soft fingertips. He was obviously very gentle, why did he stay here? The image of a shrew.
The waiter breathed a sigh of relief and went to deliver the coffee.
Lin Chu casually found a seat near the door so that he could see Shao Huai coming outside.
The waiter came to bring water, but Lin Chu refused, "No need, I'll let you sit here for three or two minutes while I wait for someone."
The waiter nodded, not unhappy, and left. However, he still brought a glass of water and smiled kindly, "It's okay if you sit down for a while."
Lin Chu smiled back, thanked him, and drank water one sip after another.
After more than three minutes, he saw Shao Huai driving his car, and Lin Chu left the coffee shop.
Before arriving at Yan Beicheng's office, Zuo Qiu said with a smile: "Master Yan is in a meeting and asked you to wait in the office. I prepared pillows and blankets for you because you have to go out for a walk after lunch and can't rest. You can do it now." Squint for a while. Don't worry, Master Yan will take a lunch break after the meeting."
It means that I will never go back to the office to handle official business. So even if she slept in it, it wouldn't hinder him from talking about official business, which reassured her.
Lin Chu smiled and nodded before entering the office.
Sure enough, I saw blankets and pillows piled neatly on the sofa.
Lin Chu spread out the blanket. He was bored waiting here and felt really sleepy, so he lay down under the blanket and took out his mobile phone to browse the Internet. When he got tired, he put his mobile phone on the coffee table in front of him and squinted his eyes to sleep. .
She was drowsily awakened by the smell of food.
Before I opened my eyes, I heard vague voices, not loud, as well as the sound of small footsteps and the sound of carefully placing things.
"Master Yan." A strange male voice called.
"Keep your voice down!" She heard Yan Beicheng whisper.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw several waiters in Shengyue uniforms, carrying the dishes ordered by Yan Beicheng and placing them on the coffee table in front of her. There are several dishes on the coffee table, including the spicy hot and sour noodles she ordered, or should be called sour noodles now. She wanted to eat something spicy, but Yan Beicheng didn't allow it, so she had to add more vinegar and not even a bit of chili.
Lin Chu agreed because of the mentality of better than nothing.
There was also a plate of pineapple and sweet pork. Sheng Yue followed Yan Beicheng's request and put almost half a bottle of vinegar in it.
The chef was frying while the sour water was boiling. Finally, he finished the dish crying, muttering that his reputation as a top chef was ruined on this plate of meat.
The remaining dishes hadn't been put down yet, and Lin Chu didn't know what they were.
He called out "Beicheng" and sat up.
Yan Beicheng turned around, a soft smile immediately bloomed on his face, and for a moment the room was filled with brilliance.
Lin Chu was stunned at first, but now his eyes widened when he saw Yan Beicheng's smile. He felt that the whole office was lit up by him, and his smile directly warmed his heart.
