Under the leadership of Zhao Xinran, Lin Han walked into a very large, simple and elegant living room. As soon as he entered the living room, he was attracted by the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa.
The other party exuded a very special aura of majesty. Lin Han knew that this was official authority, an aura slowly developed by people who have been in high positions for a long time.
Even without an introduction, Lin Han knew that this middle-aged man was Zhao Xinran's father, Zhao Guodong, and the top leader in Lingchuan District.
Lin Han had just learned about Zhao Guodong's position from Zhao Xinran not long ago. If Zhao Xinran hadn't told him, he would have never known that Zhao Xinran's father was actually the top leader in Lingchuan District.
"Dad, I brought Lin Han here. This is my father." Zhao Xinran introduced Lin Han as he walked to Zhao Guodong.
"Hello, Uncle Zhao." Lin Han greeted him respectfully, neither humble nor overbearing. He was not flattering at all because of his status, but was groveling and deliberately trying to please.
"Sit down!" Zhao Guodong pointed casually and said.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhao." Lin Han was not pretentious and polite, and sat opposite Zhao Guodong.
Zhao Guodong focused all his attention on Lin Han, looking at him constantly, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes, "Not bad, not bad. He is worthy of being Zixuan's son. He is very good. He doesn't have the exaggeration of young people at all."
"Thank you Uncle Zhao for the compliment. I'm a little embarrassed by what you said." Lin Han scratched his head and said.
"Hahaha, I really didn't expect that I would be able to meet my old friend. What a fate!" Zhao Guodong said with a hearty smile, feeling even more satisfied with Lin Han. Lin Han's words just now undoubtedly relaxed the whole atmosphere a lot.
And it made the relationship closer.
"I only heard from Xinran that I found out that my father and Uncle Zhao are still classmates." Lin Han said with a slight smile.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps. Lin Han turned around and saw a young woman in her thirties walking over. She was wearing an apron around her waist. The mature charm of a woman was completely exuded. Her appearance was similar to that of Zhao Zhao.
Xinran is seventy percent similar.
As soon as he saw the person, Lin Han knew that this was Zhao Xinran's mother.
"This must be Lin Han! From a distance, I thought I was seeing Zixuan from back then." Xiao Meihong looked at Lin Han and said, with a smile on her face, her eyes were a little complicated and doting.
"Hello aunt, you are so beautiful. Uncle Zhao is so lucky!" Lin Han stood up from the sofa, looked at Xiao Meihong and praised, with an appreciation of beauty in his eyes.
"You have such a sweet mouth, but Zixuan is far behind in this aspect. You will definitely please girls in the future." Xiao Meihong sat next to Zhao Guodong and looked at Lin Han and said, with a smile on her face, as if she was still reminiscing.
She looked at Lin Han absentmindedly for a while before she recovered. Her eyes were full of satisfaction, and she was very satisfied with Lin Han's attitude and so on.
Most people would be very cautious when seeing them. They didn't expect that these things could not be seen on Lin Han at all, and they felt very strange.
They already knew about Lin Han's family. Lin Han, who came out of a shanty town, seemed to be very talkative and generous. He had the elegance and gentlemanly demeanor of a cultured man, although these auras were still a bit shallow.
, but they have no doubt that in a few years, the young man in front of them will be even more outstanding.
"As expected of Zixuan's son!" Zhao Guodong praised him again.
"Dad! You seldom praise me, why do you keep praising him?" At this time, Zhao Xinran pursed her lips and said very unhappily.
"Hahaha, my daughter is actually jealous. Dad rarely praises you because he doesn't know how to describe your excellence." Zhao Guodong said with a smile.
"Hypocritical, insincere, huh." Zhao Xinran said dissatisfied, and glanced at Lin Han with a fierce glare.
Lin Han was speechless for a while, knowing that he had been shot again while lying down.
"Uncle Zhao, I wonder how much you know about my father?" Lin Han asked straight to the point.
"Your father and I are college classmates, and we have the best relationship. Among our archeology majors, Zixuan is the best one. Even the professors are full of praise. Zixuan is generous, honest, and
He was very righteous, and he was the monitor of our class at that time, and many girls admired him. Unfortunately, his stupidity just didn't make sense, and many girls were disappointed and resented."
Speaking of this, Zhao Guodong couldn't help laughing.
"It's a pity that after that incident twenty years ago, I never saw Zixuan again. I originally thought that Zixuan was no longer in this world, but I didn't expect that he was still alive, but he has been missing for ten years." Zhao Guodong
Said with a slight sigh.
"Don't you know anything about your father's disappearance?"
Lin Han shook his head, "When my father disappeared, I was only nine years old and in elementary school. One time when I came home, I didn't see my father, so I asked my mother. My mother said that my father had gone far away.
From then on, I never saw my father again. When I grew up, my mother told me that my father was missing. She refused to say anything more."
"Uncle Zhao, you just mentioned that incident twenty years ago, what was that incident?" Lin Han asked.
After hearing this, Zhao Guodong's face changed slightly, his eyes filled with sadness and a hint of pain.
"If it's inconvenient, forget it." Seeing Zhao Guodong's expression, Lin Han said quickly.
"There is nothing inconvenient. This matter has been hidden in my heart for twenty years. It may be more comfortable to say it." Zhao Guodong waved his hand and sighed.
This sentence made people even more curious. Miss Zhao, who was very dissatisfied just now, seemed to have forgotten her unhappiness. Xingmu stared at her father intently, as if she also wanted to know what happened twenty years ago.
"Although twenty years have passed, that incident has always been hidden deep in my heart. Sometimes, when I have nightmares, the incident will appear involuntarily, as if the story is repeating itself." As he said,
Tears actually flowed from Zhao Guodong's eyes, tears of regret.
Seeing this scene, Lin Han, Zhao Xinran, and Xiao Meihong were all shocked, especially Xiao Meihong. She never knew that her husband had such a sad past hidden in his heart.
"Twenty years ago, when we graduated, as archeology majors, we were very high-spirited. Young people! It is inevitable that we have some dreams. At that time, we dreamed of discovering a large tomb, and then researching and verifying it. We thought it was just a
It was just our fantasy, we never thought that this opportunity would actually come."
"It was that opportunity that I regretted for twenty years. If it hadn't been for what happened that time, I'm afraid Zixuan and I would still be good friends, and I wouldn't have taken the official career path."
