"Sorry, my mother...has been dead for many years."
"Crack."
The cup Qi Junhe just picked up broke into pieces.
His eyes were wide open, the whites of his eyes were full of red bloodshot eyes, and his whole person was in a state of extreme shock, shock and fear.
He seemed to have used all his strength to restrain himself from shaking.
After a while, he squeezed out a sentence: "How did you die..."
"Died of illness."
Qi Junhe seemed to have had all his energy drained from his body, sitting motionless on the sofa.
Cheng Anning looked at his expression and said hesitantly: "Do you... know my mother?"
Qi Junhe was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "Well, your mother and I are old friends. My name is Qi Junhe, you can call me Uncle Qi."
Cheng Anning breathed a sigh of relief and felt that she had thought too much.
She had watched too many TV dramas to think that the person who suddenly appeared was her biological father.
Fortunately not, otherwise she wouldn't know how to face it.
Seeing her relieved look, Qi Junhe's eyes darkened and he hid all his emotions.
He took out a photo, handed it over, and said, "This is a photo of your mother when she was young."
Cheng Anning took it and looked at the photo, his eyes dazed.
The woman in the photo is wearing a white floral skirt, facing the sun, with a gentle smile, she is very young, and she is a beauty that can be seen at a glance.
The beauty in the photo looks a lot like Cheng Anning.
After seeing the photo, she believed that the person in front of her was her mother's old friend, because behind the photo, there was a sentence written in her mother's handwriting.
【Gift: Junhe.】
"This is your mother when she was young. You look very similar to her, so when I first saw you, I thought I was seeing Xiang'er."
For some reason, Cheng Anning felt that the man in front of her didn't look like an ordinary friend, and the nostalgia and look in his eyes almost overflowed.
Qi Junhe noticed it and said with a smile: "Well, I pursued your mother back then, but unfortunately she was rejected, so we became good friends. But I didn't expect that we had to say goodbye in a hurry, and we would already be separated by yin and yang."
He calmed down for a while, then suppressed his emotions and made Cheng Anning a pot of tea.
The two chatted for a long time.
Qi Junhe rambled to her about what happened to Qin Xiang back then.
From Qi Junhe's words, Cheng Anning learned about her mother's personality, appearance, and preferences, and the few memories left in her mind were filled in.
Even the appearance of my mother is vivid.
She relaxed her guard and even took the initiative to ask about many things, with more and more smiles on her lips.
After chatting for a while, Cheng Anning suddenly said: "Uncle Qi, do you know who my father is?"
Qi Junhe paused and said: "That's not a good man. Xiang'er trusted Feiliang and misjudged him. You don't have to recognize that kind of bastard."
Hearing this, Cheng Anning realized that Uncle Qi didn't want to talk about this matter and his tone was very bad, so he wisely did not ask further.
Qi Junhe put on his gentle smile again, "Since you're here, let's play on the boat and treat it as a vacation. Don't worry, Uncle Qi will be there for everything and no one will hurt you."
"But……"
"I owed your mother a lot back then, but I never had the chance to pay it back. I have had trouble sleeping and eating for half my life. Please give Uncle Qi a chance to make up for it."
Cheng Anning looked at his slightly pleading eyes and nodded involuntarily.
Qi Junhe said gently: "I'll ask someone to take you to eat something and have a good rest."
Qi Junhe called his most trusted subordinates and led Cheng Anning to rest.
After the person left, he slowly sat down, holding Qin Xiang's photo in his hand, looking at it dreamily.
Two lines of clear tears slowly fell down.
"Xian'er... In the end, we were separated by yin and yang... I'm sorry for you all these years... I don't deserve to be An Ning's father... I'm a coward, I don't deserve..."
It was all his own fault back then.
He was wrong!
Qi Junhe let out a breath and immediately asked someone to investigate, find out Cheng Anning's life experience, and find out what happened in those years he missed.
In the deluxe room.
Cheng Anning looked at several people dressed as maids carrying huge gift boxes in their hands, which contained beautiful clothes, exquisite shoes, and jewelry.
"Miss, this is arranged by the boss, you can choose the style you like."
"No need to bother, I don't need to."
"Okay, the boss said, since you don't like it, miss, let's cut it into pieces."
As she said that, the maid took out the big scissors and was about to cut them into pieces.
"Wait! Stay."
She started to have a headache, and she always felt that this mysterious "Uncle Qi" seemed to know her character very well.
She randomly picked one set and kept it.
"Miss, the boss has arranged a restaurant, you can go and dine."
"Okay, you go out first."
After the maids left, Cheng Anning lay on the bed and began to think.
She always felt a little strange about Uncle Qi's sudden appearance, but he knew her mother very well, and some of her habits and preferences were in line with her.
Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time.
My mother has passed away, and there is nothing to remember her.
And now that she is on the ship, she cannot break up with this 'Uncle Qi' for the time being. We will wait until she gets off the ship to see everything.
After making up his mind, Cheng Anning went to wash up first.
She always feels like she has forgotten something?
Can't remember.
…
At this moment, Xue Haiming hurriedly found Huo Yan and whispered: "I found those missing girls. They are on the boat and have become ordinary tourists, but there is no sister-in-law among them."
Huo Yan said solemnly, "She must be on the boat."
"But we didn't find it, what should we do?"
Huo Yan thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to see Qi Junhe."
When he saw Qi Junhe again, Huo Yan keenly noticed that this long-famous transportation giant seemed to be in a good mood.
"Mr. Huo, what did you find?"
Huo Yan put back his probing mood and went straight to the point, "I'm looking for someone."
"Who should Mr. Huo call first?"
Huo Yan took out a photo and handed it over.
When Qi Junhe saw the photo, his expression did not change at all and said: "I will let my people look for it."
Huo Yan squinted his eyes and looked at him, trying to find any flaws in his face.
"Mr. Huo, is there anything else?"
"Mr. Qi, please find someone, please tell me immediately."
"Of course, of course, I also hope to cooperate with Mr. Huo one day."
When Huo Yan stood up and was about to leave, Qi Junhe asked casually, "May I ask, who is this Mr. Huo?"
Huo Yan stopped and said word by word: "She is my wife."
"Oh? Your wife is very beautiful."
"Thanks."
After Huo Yan left, the smile on Qi Junhe's face disappeared, leaving only gloom.
"Huo Yan, you are not a good match. I will not let my daughter find someone like me." This chapter has been completed!
