"No one will be here for a while. Follow Dad in and hurry up."
Lan Rui said something in a low voice and walked into the house first.
Lan Zheng followed in his father's footsteps.
He had some impressions of this place. When he was a child, his father tried to move him and his mother here, but his mother left the familiar place and cried and made trouble. That was because she no longer felt safe.
In desperation, the father had no choice but to take the mother and son back to the Lan family manor.
Lan Zheng didn't understand it before, but now he can understand it to some extent. Deep down in his mother's heart, she understands that her daughter has been lost. She doesn't want to leave the Lan Family Manor because she is worried that her daughter will not recognize her family when she comes back. So even if she is bullied in the Lan Family Manor,
Despite the humiliation, I still have to stay in the Lan Manor.
The mother ignored that her sister was only half a year old when she disappeared, and she didn’t recognize her family at all.
That's just a mother's obsession.
The father and son went up to the second floor and entered Lan Rui's study.
Although the study room is kept spotless, the furnishings inside have not been touched and remain the same as they were more than twenty years ago.
As soon as he entered the study, Lan Zheng saw the wedding photos of his parents. When they were young, his parents were really handsome, just like golden boys and girls. Even now, his father is fifty years old, and he still has such a black face as the moon.
Girls in their twenties rush to marry him.
Lan Rui closed the study door and said to his son: "There is a soundproof wall here. People outside can't hear what you say inside."
When he was building this villa, he thought it would be a small home for a family of four, so his study was not placed in an open area, but the sound insulation effect was increased so that he could still talk to his heart with confidence.
"Why doesn't your mother follow you back?"
"Dad, don't you think it would be safer for me to come back alone? My mother is unconscious and it will be easy to be exposed if I take her with me."
Lan Rui sat down at the desk and asked about his wife: "Is your mother okay? When you saw your sister, how was your mother's reaction? Is there any tendency for her to get better?"
"I thought dad didn't care about my mom's condition."
Lan Zheng's words were ironic, "For more than 20 years, you have let me do nothing, and now you are asking questions, which makes me feel so ironic."
Being ridiculed by his son, Lan Rui's face darkened, as if he was angry. He did not vent his anger at his son, nor did he defend himself.
"After my mother saw Qingqing, she didn't recognize her. She just thought she liked Qingqing very much and wanted to get close to her. She even regarded Qingqing as her peer."
"However, it's still much better than at home. I look like a normal person most of the time."
After mother and daughter met, although Mrs. Lan was still not awake, she obviously improved.
There was pain in Lan Rui's eyes, and he asked in a low voice: "How is Qingqing?"
"Qingqing is very good. Uncle Mu and Aunt Zhang's family all regard her as their own and treat her very well."
Lan Zheng is full of gratitude to the Mu family.
"Dad, Qingqing is married."
Lan Zheng took his crazy mother thousands of miles to look for his sister. After flying to City A, Lan Rui couldn't do anything. He also sent people to follow his wife and children secretly. Although he had not yet met his adult daughter, Mu Mu
Qing's photo had already been sent to him.
Not just one.
Ever since Lan Zheng and his son met Mu Qing, his people helped him take a lot of shots of them getting along.
Only in the dead of night did he dare to take it out and look through it.
The daughter he spent more than twenty years to find was already married. Lan Rui was reluctant to let go. In his opinion, twenty-four years old was still very young. If his daughter had stayed by his side to grow up, he would definitely
Keep your daughter for a few more years.
Fortunately, his son-in-law made him very satisfied.
"My brother-in-law, Ye Junbo, is the president of Fengchen Group in City A. He is a calm man and treats Qingqing very well. Although he also has a few infatuated and bold admirers, it is normal. If a man as outstanding as him,
It would be abnormal to have no admirers."
Lan Rui was silent for a long time before speaking softly: "A beauty is a disaster, and a man who is too good-looking and excellent is also a disaster."
He suffered greatly from it.
The tragedy that happened twenty-three years ago was really not what he wanted.
He didn't have the slightest fondness for the man named Zhuang. No matter that he was a husband and a father, he still stalked him and would be satisfied if he could sleep with him even once.
He sternly refused, and was unable to get Zhuang's love. Because of his love, he became resentful and took revenge on him by taking Qingqing away.
In fact, the man named Zhuang wanted to take Lan Zheng away. After all, for him, his son was to be his heir, which was more important.
It was Lan Zheng who happened to be having a baby at that time, and it was so smelly that Zhuang disliked it. In desperation, he picked up Lan Qing and ran away.
This was when he later found the body of Zhuang and also found a diary from Zhuang.
The woman named Zhuang wrote down in her diary everything she wanted to do and everything she had done.
But who helped her, the person named Zhuang did not write down.
Lan Zheng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
"Dad, are you going to go there yourself or arrange for someone to bring Qingqing back?"
Lan Zheng changed the topic.
After a moment of silence, Lan Rui said: "Our whole family is going to pick Qingqing back."
"The whole family?"
"Just call your grandparents, two uncles, aunts, and your cousins, and fly together to pick up Qingqing. This matter cannot be kept low-key. If it is kept low-key, it will be more likely to be plotted. The place must be high-profile, so that
They have scruples, and it is difficult for them to use their evil tactics."
"So, dad knows who the mole is?"
After Lan Rui choked, he said: "Dad is collecting evidence. When we can close the net, we will catch them all."
Lan Zheng sneered a few times, "Dad, can I trust you? You know how you have treated my mother and son over the years."
"You didn't grow up in peace? Were you fostered?"
Lan Zheng: "..."
"Lan Rui!"
"Dad, my real name is Lan Zheng now. I don't want to be your substitute anymore."
Lan Rui looked at him and seemed to be smiling a little, and said: "Actually, before you were born, your mother really wanted to name you Lan Rui, otherwise your longevity lock would not have the word 'Rui' engraved on it.
, after you were born, I personally registered the household registration for you brother and sister, and I specifically changed your name to Lan Zheng when registering."
"I didn't expect that after you became wise, you clamored to change your name, and you even chose the word 'Rui'. You insisted on changing it to Lan Rui, in an attempt to replace my position in your mother's heart."
Lan Zheng:……
"Lan Zheng, you know that the water in our house is deep, and there are various forces infiltrating into it. Our family will soon undergo a major purge. Dad is getting older, and there will be a day when he can't protect you. If you
If you are not strong enough, Dad will work hard all his life to make wedding clothes for others."
A strong person cannot come out of a wealthy and gentle country. Only when surrounded by wolves can one be forced to become a strong person little by little in order to survive.
