Chapter 35 To find the truth
The two looked at a line of words on the report at the same time. After a long time, Elder Zhao threw away the appraisal report and hugged Lu Xi tightly.
"You, you are my grandson...Lu Xi, my grandson, my poor grandson..."
Feeling the man's trembling arms, an unprecedented warm current poured into Lu Xi's heart. The feeling was sour and astringent, and the surge made his eye sockets redden unbearably.He could feel the grief in the thin body of the old man who was embracing him, his heart trembled with his cries, and every cell in his body was yearning for his warmth.
He stroked the old man's back awkwardly.
"Grandpa..."
"It's me, my grandson, my precious grandson..."
Father Zhu had already found out about the Zhao family's affairs overnight. He knew that Mr. Zhao was just such a daughter, and he ran away with a man... Cough cough, the excitement in his heart can be imagined, he sighed and turned his eyes away, looking at Mr. Zhao's assistant explain:
"Mr. Zhao may be agitated recently, and I need you to take care of him by the side."
The assistant quickly said yes.
After expressing his initial excitement, Mr. Zhao's first thought was to take Lu Xi back to show other relatives in the family, and let them know that his grandson was back.
It was Zhu Yu who walked out first:
"that--"
Because I know that she is Lu Xi's girlfriend, and I also know how kind she is to Lu Xi, not to mention her help is indispensable for being able to recognize relatives, Mr. Zhao is very kind to Zhu Yu:
"Xiaoyu, what's the matter?"
Zhu Yu took a deep breath: "I think, don't be so fast, it's too sudden for Lu Xi. And your family still thinks it's sudden, all of a sudden, maybe it's unacceptable. It's better to let everyone calm down for a while. Accept this with reason, and then bring Lu Xi back."
Mr. Zhao was also excited just now, but after thinking about it carefully, if someone jumps out and speaks rudely to Lu Xi, it's fine if he can punish that person, what if he hurts his grandson's heart.
"That's fine, grandpa left you a card, and your current home..."
"I'm used to it, and my aunt and I have to buffer for a while."
"Okay, okay, then you must remember to use my card, don't let yourself be wronged."
Mr. Zhao really wanted to stay with his grandson, whom he had finally found, but he was supposed to go back yesterday, and his trip was already delayed by a day. Besides, why did he stay?To snatch the child from his aunt?
The child is still in the stage of reshaping the three views and cannot be stimulated.
With a wave of his arm, Mr. Zhao bought a lot of presents for Lu Xi, regardless of whether he likes it or not, accepts it or not, in short, clothes, shoes, cars... let's not mention the latter for now, my children have everything that other people have!
At night, he reluctantly left, and entrusted Lu Xi to Zhu's father before leaving. The two of them are now considered in-laws, and Zhu's father fully agreed.
Father Zhu: "I didn't expect that the poor boyfriend I found would also become a phoenix. Daughter... son, you have a good vision."
Zhu Yu: "..."
Zhu Yu didn't take this little teasing to heart. What he was more worried about now was Lu Xi's mental state. After all, he was only 17 years old, so he might not be able to face the sudden change of his life experience calmly.
And Lu Xi's state in the next few days also showed his uneasy heart, but as the hero of the novel, his inner firmness and self-control are indeed top-notch. Although he has become a rich man, but only in terms of behavior That said, nothing has changed.
If he hadn't often looked out of the window in a daze, he would have believed that this matter would have no effect on Lu Xi.
After school this afternoon, Lu Xi suddenly said, "Can you accompany me home today?"
His eyes trembled: "Grandpa sent my mother's photo album and recorded video."
Zhu Yu nodded repeatedly.
Speaking of which, this is Zhu Yu's first visit to Lu Xi's house, and he has not moved. After confirming his identity, Elder Zhao and Lu Xi went to his home once. The scene made Elder Zhao very heartbroken, and he almost immediately called for his assistant He went to buy a villa nearby, but Lu Xi stopped him.
"Regarding my life experience, I want to transition slowly. Getting rich is not good for the mental health of young people."
Mr. Zhao could only nod his head, he was taught a lesson by a child for being such an adult.But even so, he was very sweet in his heart, his grandson was so sensible, wouldn't he be better than those bastards of his old friend?But when he thought of the reason why his grandson was sensible, he couldn't be happy again.
In short, the whole day is full of emotional ups and downs.
Lu Xi pushed open the door of the house. Although his house was shabby, it was very clean. His aunt hadn't come back yet. He quickly opened the box sent by his grandfather. When he saw the thick photo album, his breath became short of breath.
Zhu Yu shook his arm.
Lu Xi spread a mat on the floor, and the two of them sat on the floor, flipping through the photo albums full of memories one by one.
The girl in the photo of his daughter that Mr. Zhao has kept is a beauty, and the mother his father said is also a beauty. The beauty has a delicate silhouette since she was a child, and she grows up from a baby who can only cry, and becomes delicate and beautiful. Become ostentatious, become willful.
Lu Xi's eyes turned red unknowingly, his hands on the side of his body were clenched into fists, and his body was trembling slightly.
Zhu Yu worried, "Lu Xi..."
"I'm fine, let's watch the video."
Old-fashioned video tapes have been burned into VCDs, which can be played directly via a computer.Zhu Yu sat quietly beside Lu Xi, shoulders to shoulders, and he could feel the deliberately calm breathing of the young man beside him.
After a brief black screen, the picture started to move. It was a scene of a seven or eight-year-old girl running in the grass. This face had been imprinted in the hearts of the two of them in the past half an hour. Lu Xi seemed to be watching some kind of miracle. He stared at the little girl intently.
The girl gradually grew up, and when she finally showed the appearance in Zhao Lao's photo, Lu Xi finally couldn't bear it, and covered his face forcefully.
"Lu Xi—"
The boy's face was buried in Zhu Yu's shoulders, for the family relationship he had missed with his parents for more than ten years, and for his mother who died young in her prime.
The wet liquid slowly seeped into Zhu Yu's heart through the fabric, as if a dull stone was cutting Zhu Yu's heart, and he clearly felt a pain that made his chest tighten.
Even so, he put his arms around the boy's shoulders, stroked his head, and comforted him:
"Don't be sad, don't be sad..."
"It's over, I'll be by your side..."
All words are pale and fragile, but apart from the comfort of words, Zhu Yu can't think of any other way.
Lu Xi choked on his shoulder for a long time before gradually calming down.His eye sockets were still red, and there were bloodshot eyes, Zhu Yu touched his face distressedly, the boy seemed to want to avoid it, but in the end he didn't turn his head, just stared blankly at the girl opposite.
Zhu Yu felt sorry for what happened to him, and didn't notice anything unusual, so she stood up and said:
"Let me cook for you."
"No, let's order takeaway."
"That's fine."
At this time, it is really not good to force him to eat the food with his own poor craftsmanship.
Lu Xi paused the recording, and got together with Zhu Yu to order takeaway.Ordered a takeaway, and within half an hour, the takeaway arrived. Just as the doorbell rang, Zhu Yu ran out to open the door. As soon as she opened the door, she said:
"..."
The woman outside the door looked at him in amazement, apparently not expecting to see a stranger in her home.
A name flashed through Zhu Yu's mind, and she shouted: "You are Lu Xi's aunt, hello, I'm Zhu Yu, and I'm Lu Xi's classmate!"
"You are Zhu Yu!" Aunt obviously knew her, her eyes lit up, and she looked her up and down.
This look... Zhu Yu took half a step back calmly, and just about to speak, a voice shouted from behind: "Takeaway!"
Zhu Yu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "The takeaway is here, come in, aunt, have you eaten yet?"
"Eat, eat, eat."
The aunt walked into the room, and Lu Xi walked out of the room at some point, and stood at the door looking at the two of them.
Zhu Yu hurried back to the room, Lu Luxi was still at the door, and looked at his aunt in the living room, the aunt winked at him and made a meaningful expression, Lu Xi's still red eyes showed a little smile, no Any gesture of explanation, close the door and walk over to the girl who is setting the table.
"Let me do it."
"No, no, I can still do this kind of thing."
"..."
At night, it's junk food like fried chicken. Although it's garbage, it's delicious!Zhu Yu happily finished eating two large chicken racks, especially seeing that Lu Xi also had a good appetite, so she ate a lot by herself while coaxing him.
When it was nine o'clock in the evening, Zhu Yu was about to come back, but he hesitated and said:
"If necessary, I can come over tomorrow..."
"No need." Lu Xi stretched out a hand and stroked her head. He had cried a lot, but his mood was calmer.
"I haven't taught you well during this time, and I will start studying hard tomorrow."
Seeing that he was in a cheerful mood, Zhu Yu joked, "You've become a rich man now, are you still greedy for tuition fees?"
"Greedy." The young man said slowly:
"I'm greedy for all your money."
.....
As Lu Xi himself said, he really returned to the state before he knew his identity. Zhu Yu observed Lu Xi's expression and saw that there was no reluctance in his eyes, so she was a little relieved.
Life is still going on, Lu Xi is a person who is strict with himself. Although he no longer has to "sell himself" to the school, he will continue the existing competitions.There is one, that is with the hostess.
It was only when Zhu Yu saw the two walking on the road together that she suddenly realized:
Yes, there is a heroine here!
Because of the Zhao family's affairs before, Lu Xi was in a heavy mood, and he was definitely not in the mood to talk about love, but now that his mood has calmed down, a little romance is also possible.Besides, a little angel like the heroine can just heal Lu's wounded heart!
Just do what you say, after school at noon that day, Zhu Yu went to ask Lu Xi to have dinner, and walked towards the girl diagonally opposite him.
"Su Tiantian."
The heroine Su Tiantian has been transferred to another school for a month, and this is the first time that Zhu Yu took the initiative to talk to her. The girl clutched her chest for a moment, cautiously showing excitement:
"Are you calling me?"
"Yes, do you want to have dinner together at noon?"
Su Tiantian also knew about "Zhu Yulou". She had "coveted" it for a long time, but she still shyly said, "Can I?"
"Of course, I'm the school director's daughter, and you're a new transfer student. I'll take care of you."
Such a seemingly reasonable reason, after careful thought and extreme fear, no one has any objection, given the premise of being used to hearing the anecdotes of "Miss".What's more, Su Tiantian has long wanted to see the legendary building.
"Okay, okay." She agreed cheerfully.
"Zhu Yulou" really did not disappoint Su Tiantian's expectations, and it opened her eyes. Either she has never seen the world, or someone can get such special treatment in school. Doesn't this beat many idol dramas in China?
Sure enough, Missy is Missy!
Su Tiantian is very lively and has a cheerful personality. Chi Qingqing and the others like her very much. They had a very pleasant meal. After the meal, Su Tiantian was hesitating whether to leave, but Zhu Yu called her again:
"Ah, Tiantian, please help me to see the study tasks that Lu Xi arranged for me, because he is the only teacher, and they are all his words! There is no justice at all, please help me to see, and point out any unreasonable things immediately !"
He pretended to say angrily.
Su Tiantian was in a dilemma, probably because he didn't know whether he should intervene with this beautiful couple.Instead, Lu Xi took out the study tasks he had prepared without saying a word, with an open and frank look.
Seeing this, Su Tiantian was not polite.
"Then let me take a look, wow, Lu Xi, your handwriting is so beautiful."
Seeing how the two of them worked together harmoniously, Zhu Yu felt very satisfied, and said to herself that she was as worthy of me as witty.
"Ah!" He stood up suddenly, and said: "I remembered, I have something to do at noon, Tian Tian, please help me continue to read, if you think something is wrong, you can discuss it with Lu Xi, I have to leave beforehand."
"Huh? Oh."
Zhu Yu left as soon as she said, and disappeared without a trace within 2 minutes.
Hmph, the world of the two of them has been left, and they have a common topic, if it is the hero and heroine, it will show your destined love opportunity!
Zhu Yu put aside her worries and happily wandered outside until the lunch break was almost over, and then went back.As soon as he entered, he saw:
"? Where's Su Tiantian? Why did she leave?"
Lu Xi was the only one in the room, and he was reading some popular science books, apparently absorbed in reading for a while.
Lu Xi raised his eyes: "Because the work is over."
"Oh, is that so?" Zhu Yu felt regretful in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, and said pretendingly:
"Then what do you think of her?"
This is the second time that Lu Xi heard this question from Zhu Yu. He looked confused, and replied: "I'm not bad at studying, and I'm very responsible in my work."
Zhu Yu:? ? ?
Wait, the affirmation of one's personality is the beginning of a relationship, right?Don't panic, Zhu Yu, you can do it.
"Then do you think she is cute?"
Lu Xi's expression became even more confused: "It's still, okay?"
"Anyway—" he coughed lightly, and said, "There is someone cuter than her."
Zhu Yu didn't pay attention to his straight man's speech. He thought to himself that he had already overwhelmed him in his life experience, so let them go with the flow in terms of relationship. Real couples will always come together.
And indeed, Zhu Yu didn't have that much time to spend on romantic affairs. There was news from Mr. Zhao that he planned to take Lu Xi back in Qingming to visit the grave and see his relatives.
Tomb-sweeping Day is a special day, and it's not easy for Zhu Yu to stop it.At that time, he didn't want Mr. Zhao to take Lu Xi back because the Zhao family's relatives were wolf-hearted. In the original book, Lu Xi was an adult, but now Lu Xi is so young and innocent, he must not just fall into the wolf's den.
He had to find a way to make Lu Xi more wary of his relatives.
A few days before Lu Xilin's departure, Zhu Yu pestered him to his house, and watched movies with him. They were all rough and simple movies about infighting among rich and powerful families. .
Lu Xi: "..."
When the scene of cruelly pushing the boss into a fast-moving car appeared on the screen again, Lu Xi finally couldn't help asking:
"What the hell are you trying to tell me?"
Zhu Yu had been waiting for him to ask for a long time. Hearing this, he immediately turned around with a serious expression on his face:
"Lu Xi, I know that telling you this when you just got your family is suspected of destroying your relationship with your family..."
Lu Xi: "..."
He said a little speechlessly: "You say."
This Zhu Yu said confidently and boldly: "But disputes among rich and powerful families have always existed. Think about it, originally your grandfather had no descendants, and the heir would have to come from other brothers and sisters. Now that you are back, you are The most orthodox heir, they don't like you for sure."
Lu Xi nodded: "I know."
Zhu Yu still had to persuade hundreds of words, and her words stuck in her throat in an instant.
"You, how do you know?"
Lu Xi gave him a strange look: "In the deeds of many celebrities, power disputes have always been an inevitable topic. Not to mention cousins, even brothers and sisters will kill each other for power."
Zhu Yu: "Okay, okay."
It's really a series of teaching life in reality.
Seeing his worried look, Lu Xi said again:
"Do not worry."
"I'll guard against them."
Zhu Yu: "..."
He silently extended his thumb. Is this the ideological consciousness of the hero in the story?Is it too transparent?
After three days like this, it was finally time for Lu Xi to leave.To Lu Xi's departure this time, Zhu Yu was very busy before his departure, fearing that he would return later; he had no other words, and only wanted to return home early, in short, he was more like his aunt than his aunt.
This was the case when Zhu Yu was not around on the day Lu Xi went out.
Anyway, on the first day Lu Xi went out, he missed him.
On the second day when Lu Xi went out, he missed him.
On the third day after Lu Xi went out, he came back in the afternoon.
Zhu Yu contacted Lu Xi on WeChat in advance, and found out that he was coming back this afternoon. After Lu Xi came back, he didn't go home, so he met Zhu Yu in a cafe first.
"how is it going?"
Zhu Yu took his hand and asked him to go around in circles to check his body.
"No one is targeting you?"
"No." Lu Xi looked at her helplessly and amusedly, with some warmth in his expression.
"all is well."
"Really?"
Lu Xi was silent for a moment, and said: "It's not that everything is good, I came out of nowhere after all, it's normal for people not to like me."
Zhu Yu's heart sank.
He gritted his teeth and thought: What right do you people have to look down on him?Everything you have is snatched from the rights he should have, and is defrauded by despicable villains with tricks and tricks.If Lu Xi wants to take it back, you won't get a single point.
"Lu Xi me—"
"But I think the attitude of my uncles is very strange."
Zhu Yu was startled: "What?"
Lu Xi took a sip of the latte in the cup slowly, and analyzed it for him:
"My uncles, on the surface, treat me very well and respect my grandfather, but why can't they find me with such a big property of the Zhao family?"
"I heard from my grandfather that after my mother and father left, he sent people to look for me several times, but my uncle said that my father moved too much, and the information was not circulated at that time, so he couldn't find me."
Zhu Yu's heart was beating, her face was slightly hot, she suppressed the excitement in her heart and said:
"It's really strange."
Lu Xi nodded: "This is a reason, but I really can't figure out the reason why my father didn't leave a picture of my mother."
"My father was a famous painter. When he was still there, we were not very poor, and my mother was a young lady, so why didn't she even have a picture. Besides, why did he tell me that my mother's name is Mujin, not Zhao Suzhen, he seems to be afraid that I will know my mother's real name..."
Speaking of this, his expression was slightly gloomy.
"When I was young, I thought that my mother didn't die at all, she just abandoned us."
Zhu Yu was taken aback: "Why?"
The teenager showed a self-deprecating expression: "Isn't it? A woman who has never participated in my life except for her name. If they really love each other, why don't they even have photos? Our family is not that poor .”
"Even, after knowing my mother's real identity, didn't this matter become more strange? Could it be that my mother was afraid that I would go to grandpa, so she deliberately didn't let my father tell me her real identity? Grandpa There is only her as a daughter, unless she hates grandpa, how can she have the heart not to let him know about her only grandson."
"But I observed my grandfather. He seems to be a very reasonable person. Perhaps more than ten years ago, he refused to let my parents be together because he was arbitrarily arbitrary, but it is not to the point where we will never see each other again. I can feel I realized that after my grandpa learned of my mother's early death, neither my father nor my mother informed him of his pain, although he didn't show it in front of me, but I could feel it."
"Because I also... I don't understand either."
Zhu Yu pursed her lips and looked at the painful young man in front of her eyes. All his doubts and puzzlements were reasonable, because there was a huge loophole, or conspiracy, in this whole thing.
Back then, Zhao Suzhen eloped with Lu Annan with the child in her arms. Before she gave birth, the daughter who was about to become a mother realized her self-willedness. Perhaps because she was about to give birth and didn't want his father to worry, she contacted Zhao's cousins in private. On the one hand It is a pregnant woman who is about to give birth, and there are family members who are at ease. On the one hand, she wants to take this opportunity to reconcile with her father.
She didn't expect that this decision would become the biggest mistake of her life.
Unfortunately, Zhao Suzhen died of massive bleeding during childbirth, and she didn't even have time to take a look at her son.At that time, it was her cousins who accompanied her. Maybe it was a mistake, or maybe there was resentment in their hearts. The Zhao brothers asked the people in the hospital not to disclose the news of Zhao Sujin's death, and stopped Lu Annan from going to see Zhao Sujin, and told him he:
Su Jin regretted it. She couldn't accept the life of a poor family. After giving birth to this child, she would go back to the Zhao family to be her daughter. From then on, she had nothing to do with Lu Annan and this child, and let him never want to find yourself.
Lu Annan cried bitterly, but couldn't get a response from his lover, and finally left in despair.
After sending Annan away, the Zhao family brothers secretly cremated Zhao Sujin in a local cemetery. After returning home, they told Mr. Zhao that Zhao Suzhen and Lu Annan had left, and that she said she had a very happy life. It was her father's fault. correct.
In grief and disappointment, Elder Zhao shook off his ruthlessness and said that he was not allowed to find Zhao Suzhen, as if he didn't have this daughter, and they didn't have this sister!
Even if Mr. Zhao regretted it a few years later and wanted to find his daughter back, the brothers of the Zhao family said they couldn't find them, so he had no choice but to give up.
It was the actions of the Zhao family brothers for the benefit that Lu Annan could not tell Lu Xi the true identity of his mother, and also separated Mr. Zhao for so many years.
Because they are the closest people, none of them doubted this matter. It was not until many years later that Lu Xi learned about the situation between the two parties and became suspicious.
Zhu Yu recalled the plot in the book, and said after deliberation: "Then let's solve the mystery together."
Lu Xi raised his head abruptly, a strange brilliance flashed in his pupils.
Zhu Yu was shocked by his expression, licked her lips a little helplessly, and said:
"You really want to know the reason for all this, right? With your and my abilities, we will definitely be able to find all the answers."
"You, trust me?" The boy's voice was hoarse.
"Of course I believe you." Zhu Yu couldn't help laughing.
"Isn't all of this strange? Even... even if the final answer doesn't satisfy you, but it's your dearest relative. I think you need to find out the origin and reason of all this."
"Don't worry, I will help you. Where do we start? By the way, let's start with the previous generation and ask them about their situation."
Then follow the trend to check the city where Annan and Zhao Suzhen went, find the hospital where Zhao Suzhen gave birth, find the death record, the signer of the cremation certificate, and the contract certificate of the cemetery... As long as the words on those certificates are still there, Zhao Fucheng and the others will flee. No more!
Zhu Yu has already thought up a whole set of plans in an instant, and he can even provide information in advance, which he has already written down silently from memory!
He immediately took the case:
"Go, let's go now!"
Lu Xi: "..."
The author says:
Zhu Yu: I really want to spoil it
