After Marrying the Villain, I Became Popular - Chapter 67
Xia Chengzhang’s residence is on the first floor. Although the front is not blocked, the light in the afternoon is still dim.
The light was not turned on in the room, and Xia Chengzhang did not turn on the electric switch on the wheelchair, but turned the wheelchair with both hands to move forward slowly.
One of Xue Chong and Wen Yun followed behind them without a word, and clenched each other’s hands.
They have been ups and downs in the market for decades, but there has never been a more difficult time than this one.
I want Xia Wan to know the truth sooner, but I’m also afraid that after he finds out, he will not be able to recognize them because of his adoptive father.
I feel that Xia Chengzhang is hateful, but it is inevitable that he is a little pitiful,
Especially from any point of view, Xia Chengzhang is not like a bad person, but more like a traditional father who can sacrifice everything for his children, not to mention, he has such a disease…
Outside the Chong couple, there was a stranger behind them, but Xue Zhen and Xue Wenzuan, who were dining with them, did not come.
Xia Chengzhang looked at the slightly thin middle-aged man and felt a little hesitant.
Xue Chong introduced to him: “This is our family doctor, surnamed Cui.”
Xia Chengzhang nodded silently, and after a while he muttered to himself in a low voice: “I’m not that vulnerable.”
When he said this, his hand was on the armrest of the wheelchair, and the rough knuckles showed shallow white marks due to the force.
When several people took their seats, the room fell silent.
Compared with the initial apprehension and fear, Xia Chengzhang seems to be much calmer now, he took out the paper cup from the space under the water dispenser sideways, and raised his hand to take out the water bottle.
Xue Chong did not let him pour the water, and took the kettle silently.
After he filled the paper cup and the water cup in front of Xia Chengzhang with water, he unconsciously raised his wrist to check the time.
“Under normal circumstances, your auntie will be back from shopping soon, right?” He said straight to the point, “Then Yunzhi and I won’t be around the corner.”
Xia Chengzhang glanced at him and then at Wen Yunzhi.
Wen Yunzhi didn’t have the usual soft smile on her face, instead her eyes were red, and the light lines on her eyebrows and lips were like medals of merit left by years of pain.
After removing the disguise, it is even more unbearable to look at.
The pain hit Xia Chengzhang’s heart like a hammer, causing him to bow his head again.
But this time, the emotion on his face was more of shame and embarrassment.
“Xia Wan is our child.” Xue Chong said solemnly, put a kraft paper bag in his hand on the coffee table and pushed it in front of Xia Chengzhang, “This is a paternity test. ,You can have a look.”
Xia Chengzhang stared at the kraft paper bag and stretched out his hand after a while.
The words on it were densely packed, like flies flying in front of him, he looked for a while but couldn’t see anything clearly.
“His original name was Xue Wenke,” Xue Chong said, “Shortly after he was two years old, he was smuggled out by his aunt to pick up someone and got lost at the station.”
Xia Chengzhang licked his lips and closed his eyes unconsciously.
In these years, he often lived in fear and anxiety, worried that Xia Wan’s biological parents would come over.
Among those fears and anxieties, he was more afraid of losing Xia Wan, but now, when they really came to the door, looking at the unconcealed pain between Wen Yunzhi’s eyebrows, he Instead, there is more guilt.
“Even night,” he kept rubbing his hands, his voice hoarse, “I did meet at the station.”
“Then he…” Wen Yunzhi, who had been silent since entering, raised her eyes sharply, “Did he cry then?”
Xia Chengzhang was stunned for a moment, not sure if she was asking if Xia Wan cried after she got lost with her family, or if she cried when he was taken away.
“I just had an accident at the time, and my most trusted brother calculated that I lost my career, and my engaged girlfriend also left me because of this,” he took a deep breath and did not answer Wen Yunzhi’s question, but said to himself, “A life that was full of hope not long ago, but in an instant there is only despair.”
He paused, as if recalling his mood at the time, his eyebrows furrowed.
“At that time, my thoughts were gone, and I gradually lost the will to survive, but I don’t know why, people don’t want to live anymore, but before I leave, I suddenly miss my hometown that I haven’t returned to for a long time,” Xia Chengzhang Said, “I bought a ticket to go back to my hometown. It’s not easy for me to get into a Kenla disabled taxi. The driver is very good. When I got to the station, he pushed me to the waiting room.”
Xia Chengzhang’s words were very trivial, but no one interrupted him.
“It was summer at that time, and the smell of the waiting room was very strong,” Xia Chengzhang said, “I didn’t notice the night when I went in, because he was surrounded by a pair of middle-aged men and women who were a little dirty. I was in the corner of the waiting room. There were a lot of people in the waiting room. At that time, I was very low self-esteem and could not accept the gazes of people coming and going, so I moved the wheelchair to the corner, and only after I got close did I hear the cry of the child.”
Wen Yunzhi straightened his body immediately upon hearing this, and Xue Chong’s hand tightened suddenly.
“And then what?” she asked in a trembling voice.
“I heard the child crying and saying a few words over and over again, ‘Ake doesn’t want’,’Ake wants an aunt’ and so on. Although he was crying, he was very articulate. clear.
, is also white and tender and cute, with tears all over his face, and the pair of sloppy middle-aged people are not family at first glance. “
In addition to the suspicious actions of the middle-aged man at the time, Xia Chengzhang confirmed his thoughts.
Wen Yunzhi’s face was full of tears, and her heart was broken.
“I realized that the child should be called Ake, so I called ‘Ake’ very loudly.
The child is very smart, and immediately opened his arms to me and called me ‘Dad’, probably because of a guilty conscience, the middle-aged couple left the child and ran away, the child was thrown and cried a lot, I He didn’t break free when he was holding him. “
“It’s not that I didn’t think about calling the police at that time, but I really don’t know what I was thinking at that time,” Xia Chengzhang put his head in his hands in pain, “Maybe my girlfriend and I both like children. , I have long planned to have a few children, how to raise them, or I may fail in my hopes, hate this world, and think why I am the only one who is so unlucky, and I want others to suffer just as much… In short, the ghosts and gods, I bring Gone this kid.”
“The child is very young and does not need a train ticket. He was probably tired from crying and fell asleep when he got on the train, so it didn’t arouse anyone’s suspicion.” Xia Chengzhang whispered, “I will take him with me. When I went back to my hometown, I originally planned to call the police and send the child back after I died, but he was very squeamish and cute when he was a child, and I was still not at ease in handing him over to someone else…”
The child has become everything in my life, I no longer want to die, I want to watch him grow up, watch him get married… Sometimes I even feel that the things at the train station are not true at all, and he is my child at night , has nothing to do with anyone else.”
The room was quiet for a moment, Wen Yunzhi touched her nose with her hand, and the back of her hand was wet with tears, Xue Chong also rolled his throat and didn’t speak for a long time.
Xia Chengzhang lowered his head, with a cry in his voice: “I have always hoped that Wanwan’s biological parents will never come over, for this reason, I can not want anything, even Lao Zhang thinks I refused to take back Xia’s studio, and even when I was sick, I didn’t feel much pain, but felt relieved.”
He paused for a moment: “I think this is God’s punishment for me, this punishment fell, and I accepted it willingly, then he has no reason to take Wanwan away from me. gone.”
“Really,” he murmured, “but you still came.”
There was a suffocating silence in the room, accompanied by someone who was crying in a low voice.
Xue Chong firmly pursed the corners of his lips and did not feel his eyes wet.
He was glad that he didn’t break through all this in front of Xia Wan’s face, but he couldn’t let Xia Chengzhang take the initiative to admit the truth to Xia Wan.
And this is what he and Wen Yunzhi thought of, the least impact on the summer evening.
Before they came, they were full of hatred.
But at this moment, although those hatreds are still there, they have become ethereal and vain.
“Do you know how much damage you did to us?” Wen Yunzhi was sobbing, “Do you know how we searched for Ake so hard for so many years? You know, Every time I see the evil deeds done by the traffickers to the children, I have nightmares, the faces of the children in the dreams are always replaced by Akko, and I feel pain even breathing…”
She said it in one breath, venting all the grievances in her heart.
Xia Chengzhang lowered his head and put his hands on both sides of the wheelchair, struggling to get down to kneel for Wen Yunzhi and his wife, but was held down by Xue Chong’s hand.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Doctor Cui, who had been sitting outside, got up: “I’ll take a look.”
Xue Chong nodded.
Dr. Cui opened the inner door and looked out through the cat’s eyes. After a while, he returned: “It’s Mr. Huo.”
Xia Chengzhang suddenly raised his head when he heard the words, his eyes were full of panic for a moment.
If Huo Yu knew the truth, would he still respect him as much as before? Will you be very disappointed in him?
So late to know?
Though the questions that terrified him were always in his mind, at this moment they were clearer and more real than ever.
Like a knife that had been hanging all the time, it suddenly swung down mercilessly.
He can’t dodge, and can’t dodge.
The doorbell rang again, this time Dr. Cui didn’t move.
Xue Chong and Wen Yunzhi also remained silent.
It seems that if Xia Chengzhang does not agree with them to open the door, they can keep silent all the time.
After a while, Xia Chengzhang finally raised his hand and rubbed his face fiercely.
“Let Xiaoyu come in,” he said, “it’s cold outside.”
Doctor Cui answered and opened the door again.
In late November, the temperature was already very low, Huo Yu was wearing a coat and came in with a chill.
As time passed, the room became darker than before, Huo Yu raised his hand and turned on the light.
Under the bright light, the misery in the room could not be concealed, Huo Yu pursed his lips and walked over slowly.
“Xiaoyu.” Xia Chengzhang raised his head, barely showing a smile that was uglier than crying, “Why are you back?”
When Huo Yu went out in the morning, he deliberately left one of his lighters in the summer evening room.
But for some reason, he couldn’t put the reason out.
“Huo Yu,” Xue Chong is not as simple as Xia Chengzhang’s mind, he has already seen the clue at this moment, his voice is very gentle, but very determined, “You already know it, right?”
Huo Yu was quiet for a moment, then nodded: “I know for a while.”
Xia Chengzhang’s mind went blank.
Before entering the door, Huo Yu had been listening by the window for a while.
Though I didn’t listen to all of Xia Chengzhang’s words, I also heard a lot.
He has seen more cruel things, and he is not so soft-hearted. I believe Xue Chong and Wen Yunzhi are the same. Everyone is looking for the most suitable way to deal with Xia Wan’s feelings.
However, when he heard Xia Chengzhang’s suppressed cries, he was still a little sad.
For him, Xia Chengzhang can be said to be the only person who gave him the feeling of “father” after his father’s death.
He is still like this, not to mention Xia Wan?
“Uncle, aunt,” Huo Yu looked at Wen Yunzhi and Xue Chong, and then at Xia Chengzhang, “Dad.”
“If you can trust me,” he said slowly, “leave this to me.”
Wen Yunzhi and Xue Chong looked at each other quickly.
For the young man Huo Yu, in less than a year, they have already seen his courage and courage.
It is natural to see his love for Xia Wan.
Although the moment he just appeared, they also doubted whether he already knew his identity when he married Xia Wan.
But then they dismissed the idea.
Because Huo Yu has never used Xia Wan for any benefit except normal cooperation.
And now, he has already become an upstart in Beijing by himself, even more influential than the anthology, and he does not need to rely on Xia Wan.
“Excuse me.” Wen Yunzhi said.
Huo Yu nodded, then squatted down in front of Xia Chengzhang.
Xia Chengzhang’s face was stained with tears: “He…, I…”
“Don’t worry.” Huo Yu looked at him with deep eyes, not the contempt and disdain he was afraid of, but very calm, no different from the look in Xue Chongwen Yunzhi just now, It is very easy for people to develop a sense of trust, and his words are also firm and unequivocal, “With me in the summer evening, nothing will happen.”
Xia Chengzhang looked at him for a while, then nodded slowly.
