Chapter 281: Orphans
Chapter 281: Orphans
......
Even if she was slow, she could sense that Zhuang Hongwen's attitude towards Shen Ning was unusual...
What's more, Gu Changgeng, who was from the army, had sharp eyes and asked, "Is the person you were looking for Ningning?"
Zhuang Hongwen put the teacup in his hand for a long time, his eyes fixed on Shen Ning, "Yes.
You are Su Yueer's daughter, the one I'm looking for. I came back just for you..."
Shen Ning was stunned. "You mean, I am the orphan you are looking for, and you know my mother?"
Zhuang Hongwen looked at Shen Ning's fair face, his tone full of bitterness, "Well, your mother and I are...old friends.
To be precise, I was picked up by your mother.
You grew up in the Su family. At that time, your grandfather was a well-known wealthy businessman in Su City. His businesses were spread all over the place, involving food, clothing, housing and transportation..."
Shen Ning didn't know much about his grandfather's family, but he vaguely heard that he was a famous wealthy businessman...
An old acquaintance of the Su family suddenly showed up, and Shen Ning was full of doubts and was a little hesitant to believe it.
Zhuang Hongwen sighed, "I know you don't believe it, I have some photos here, you can take a look..."
Lin Yan immediately took out a few intact photos from her briefcase and handed them over.
Shen Ning suppressed his excitement and flipped through the pages carefully.
Gu Changgeng also turned slightly. The photo was a little blurry due to the age, but it was still roughly recognizable...
The first photo should be of Su Yueer, a little girl of about seven or eight years old. She is holding a pipa half a person’s height in her arms and smiling sweetly.
The other photos show Su Yue'er when she was a girl, and she is about 70% similar to Shen Ning's current appearance.
Shen Ning flipped through the photos slowly. The girl in the photo had bright eyes and white teeth, and an innocent look. She looked like a spoiled rich lady. She was somewhat different from the mother in her memory, who was always slightly melancholy...
Soon, one of the photos caught Shen Ning's attention. Su Yue'er was wearing a Western-style wedding dress, holding flowers in her hands, smiling, and leaning slightly on a shoulder...
Shen Ning was so confused that even her breathing became faster. She remembered the curse Wang Aihua had used on her.
She said she was a bastard with an unknown father.
Shen Ning gently caressed Su Yue'er in the photo. Although she tried to pretend that she didn't care, the tension in her tone still betrayed her, "Where is the other half in this photo?"
Zhuang Hongwen's eyes flickered, and he lowered his eyes, "The other half in the photo is your father Shen Huai.
But I didn't want to keep his photo, so I cut it out. I'm really sorry, I didn't expect that we would meet today.
But you can look at the photo at the bottom, your father is in it..."
It was a group photo of seven boys and girls of different ages.
Shen Ning was a little confused for a moment. The black and white photo was a little blurry to begin with, and he couldn't find the father in his memory.
She looked at it for a long time, carefully identified it, and raised her head in confusion, "Which one is him?"
Shen Ningzhuang Hongwen laughed again, pointed at the second boy on the left side of the photo and said, "This is Shen Huai."
Then he pointed to the fourth person on the left side of the photo and said, “This is me.
The people in the photo are all children who received kindness and support from your grandfather.
That was your mother's ninth birthday, and your grandfather specially invited a photographer to take a photo of her at home, and this photo was taken at that time."
Shen Ning looked at the skinny boy in the photo and couldn't match him with the tall and majestic father in his memory.
She took out her wallet again, which contained the only photo of herself and her parents.
Zhuang Hongwen noticed her movements, tears welled up in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down and asked, "Can you show me?"
Shen Ning handed over his photo, and Zhuang Hongwen caressed the two people in the photo...
Shen Ning suddenly felt a little strange, "You...what is your relationship with my mother?"
Zhuang Hongwen: "She is the person I love most in my life..."
Shen Ning's body froze, and his tone was a little stammering, "You...you love my...mother?"
"Well, I love her very much."
Zhuang Hongwen did not dodge, but looked at Shen Ning frankly and said this.
Shen Ning suddenly felt bad. Although Zhuang Hongwen looked a bit pitiful at the moment, he still had to stand firm. After all, his father Shen Huai and his mother were a couple.
The atmosphere was a little dull for a while, but Zhuang Hongwen suddenly showed a relieved smile, "I have already inquired clearly before coming here. Wang Aihua must have said a lot of bad things to you. Don't believe him.
Your mother is the best woman in the world. She is gentle, kind and helpful. It's just a pity that not every bit of kindness will be cherished and rewarded..."
Shen Ning's eyes were sore and bitter, and he asked out the fear that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, "Wang Aihua said that I was a bastard and that my father was unknown.
And he said Shen Huai is not my biological father..."
Zhuang Hongwen reached out and patted her shoulder, "Don't listen to her nonsense, your parents love you very much, how could you not be their biological child?
When the Su family was in chaos, Shen Huai, your mother Su Yue'er and I supported each other and got through the most difficult time.
I know her story very well, and you are their child..."
Shen Ning finally felt relieved, but she stared at Zhuang Hongwen, "Really? Why do you look so sad?"
Zhuang Hongwen raised his hand and rubbed her hair heavily, "I like your mother, but I can't stay with her for the rest of my life, so of course I'm sad.
I've let it go after all these years. Now I just feel guilty towards your mother and you.
I received great kindness from the Su family, but I failed to take good care of Su Yue'er, and I didn't even know you existed...
If I had known this earlier, I would have taken you away earlier and would not have let you suffer for so long at the hands of that vicious woman Wang Aihua..."
Zhuang Hongwen's eyes turned red as he spoke, "I'm sorry, I came too late."
Although Zhuang Hongwen tried hard to control himself, his heart was still beating fast and his face turned slightly pale...
Lin Yan, who was standing by, immediately stood up and took out the small medicine bottle she carried with her, "Sir, don't get excited..."
After Zhuang Hongwen took the medicine, he recovered for a while and looked much better. He reached out to Lin Yan again.
Lin Yan immediately handed over the document in her hand. Zhuang Hongwen took it and handed it to Shen Ning, "Take a look at this..."
