The photo shows a group photo of two people, a woman in her early twenties, holding a seven or eight-year-old girl in her arms.
Seeing that woman, Chen Fan's heart suddenly beat a few times. She seemed to have a very familiar feeling, but she also seemed very strange.
"Uncle, who is this person?" Chen Fan couldn't help but ask Zhang Chongshan.
Zhang Chongshan pointed to the girl in the photo: "That seven or eight-year-old girl is your aunt."
"As for the one holding her, she is your mother."
Hearing Zhang Chongshan's words, Chen Fan was suddenly startled and looked at the woman with a complicated expression.
Qin Shuran, who was standing aside, looked at the photo with a look of astonishment as well.
"She is my mother?" Chen Fan was obviously in disbelief.
For so many years, from childhood to adulthood, his impression of his mother only existed in fantasy. He had countless photos of his parents painted in his mind, but none of them were similar to this photo.
"So, my mother looks like this." Chen Fan unknowingly came to the bottom of the photo and looked at the woman in the photo.
Zhang Chongshan took a few steps forward and reached out to pat Chen Fan on the shoulder: "My child, don't be sad. I believe that one day, you mother and son will be reunited. You have to have confidence in yourself."
Chen Fan just nodded slightly, but still refused to move his eyes away from the photo.
In more than twenty years, this was the first time that he knew what his mother looked like. Chen Fan didn't know how long he had been waiting for this moment.
Chen Fan knew that Qin Shuran was worried about him, so he smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
At this time, Long Yinglan also prepared the meal.
"Let's go, your aunt has already prepared the meal. You don't know how long your aunt has been preparing for today's meal." Zhang Chongshan gently patted Chen Fan's shoulder again and said.
"Yeah." Chen Fan nodded, and the three of them arrived at the restaurant.
After everyone sat down, Long Yinglan personally poured a glass of red wine for Chen Fan and told his driver to take them away in the afternoon.
After drinking a glass of wine, Long Yinglan looked at Qin Shuran: "Shuran, I heard about what happened that day. I fired the security manager directly. If necessary, I will send professional bodyguards to protect you."
Qin Shuran responded: "Thank you Aunt Long for your kindness. With Chen Fan by my side, I will be fine."
Long Yinglan nodded: "We will be a family from now on. If anything happens in the future, just call Aunt Long and Aunt Long will help you solve it."
Hearing the words "family", Qin Shuran's little face suddenly showed a blush.
This was her first time as Chen Fan's girlfriend, dining with Chen Fan's family, so she seemed a little nervous.
"Your mother personally taught me how to cook these dishes, but I've never tasted them as well as your mother's." Long Yinglan personally prepared a lot of food for Chen Fan.
Seeing Chen Fan devouring the food, Long Yinglan's face also showed a look of relief: "If your mother were here, she would definitely be very happy."
Chen Fan said nothing and kept eating.
After lunch, Long Yinglan went to the study and took out two boxes from the study.
"Shu Ran, this is my first time at home, and Aunt Long didn't prepare anything. I have something left by Xiaofan's mother. She said that this thing is for her future daughter-in-law. You are just in time today.
Now, I will leave this thing in your hands. I hope you two can live a good life in the future." As he said that, Long Yinglan opened one of the boxes in his hand.
Inside the box is a simple thumb ring.
"Aunt Long, this is something that belonged to Chen Fan's mother. You should leave it to Chen Fan." Qin Shuran did not pick it up.
"This is for my daughter-in-law, what does he want with this?" Long Yinglan said, putting the wooden box into Qin Shuran's hand.
Qin Shuran's face was slightly red, and her face was full of shyness.
After all, she and Chen Fan were not married yet, so it always felt weird to be called daughter-in-law.
But at this moment, Chen Fan was stunned when he saw the thumb ring in the wooden box: "Does my mother also have a thumb ring like this in her hand?"
Long Yinglan looked at Chen Fan doubtfully: "Have you ever seen other finger-wrenches like this?"
Chen Fan did not hide anything: "My grandma gave me one before, but I lost it."
"Lost? Where did you lose it?" Long Yinglan looked stunned and asked hurriedly.
But soon, Long Yinglan realized that she was a little excited, and said in a slower tone: "I heard your mother say before that this was passed down from your father's family. If your grandma knew that this thing was lost,
He will definitely be very angry."
Chen Fan nodded and glanced at Qin Shuran, seeming a little embarrassed.
Then he said: "Some time ago, I went to the No. 1 Hospital to find Li Mengyao. She is my ex-girlfriend. I originally wanted to give it to her, but then I met Xiao Ran and we had a conflict. I was knocked unconscious. When I woke up, this
The thumb ring disappeared."
Hearing this, Long Yinglan frowned slightly: "Where is the specific location? I will send someone to find it for you."
"Just at the entrance of the First Hospital." Chen Fan responded.
"I will keep an eye out for you, and when I find it, I will contact you." Long Yinglan responded.
Chen Fan didn't care about the ring. The only thing he cared about now was his mother. He couldn't help but ask: "Auntie, when can I go back to treat my mother?"
Long Yinglan sighed first, and then explained: "I will make arrangements as soon as possible. I must have a good reason from the family, otherwise, they will not let me get close to your mother."
After saying that, Long Yinglan handed another wooden box to Chen Fan: "This is what your mother left for you."
Chen Fan was stunned and reached out to take the wooden box.
There is a photo inside and a thick envelope.
"These are letters your mother wrote to you. There are eighteen letters in total. She originally planned to grow up with you in another way, but in order to prevent you from knowing what happened back then, these letters have been kept with me." Long Ying.
Lan explained to Chen Fan.
Opening the letter, looking at the beautiful handwriting and the title "Fanfan" seemed to give Chen Fan the illusion that his mother was by his side.
Chen Fan tried hard to control his emotions, then closed the wooden box, took out only the photo, and put it into his wallet.
"Thank you, aunt. Please keep these letters with you. I will save my mother and let her tell me everything she wants to tell me." Chen Fan placed the wooden box on the table.
superior.
Long Yinglan nodded: "I will arrange it as soon as possible."
Taking a deep breath and controlling his emotions, Chen Fan looked at the time. It was already past noon and they had to go to the Jade Market.
He and Qin Shuran stood up and planned to leave.
Long Yinglan directly sent his driver to drive Chen Fan's car to see them leave.
Seeing Chen Fan and Qin Shuran leaving, Long Yinglan glanced at Zhang Chongshan beside him: "Send someone to check the surveillance at the entrance of the First Hospital."
