Chapter 5 Chapter 5

In the evening of the next day, Lin Xiangqin came to the door happily, sighing, the first time she came to this small white room, she was only in high school, time passed so quickly, and her relationship with Lianhuan seemed to have no growth. Lao Lian deliberately came back to greet her with a word or two, and then hurried over. Lianhuan said: "Please come up for a while, I have something to say." Sister-in-law Lian urged, "Go, Xiangqin, and see what he says." She kept laughing. Xiangqin knows Lianhuan quite well, so he doesn't necessarily have good news to announce.

She took a piece of chocolate, peeled off the colorful candy wrapper, put it in her mouth, and went upstairs with Lianhuan. When he entered the door, he stepped on an acorn, staggered and almost tripped, he couldn't help asking Lianhuan: "Do you want me to sweep the floor for you?" Lianhuan asked her to sit down. Thinking about it, he said solemnly: "Xiangqin, we have always been good friends." Xiangqin said "hmm", she picked out a candy with filling, it was so sweet that it stuck in her throat, it was very hard. "Let's be good friends forever." Lianhuan's tone was very sincere.

Xiangqin looked at him, she didn't expect such an honest person to evade like this. He knew he couldn't drag it any longer, so he finally expressed his opinion. Xiangqin lowered her head, naturally felt hurt, and was at a loss for words for a while.After a while, she raised her head, "Serial—" Suddenly she was stunned, her seat was facing the window, and just now she glanced, she saw a small white face sticking to the glass and blinking at her in the twilight. Xiangqin had heard many weird and mysterious legends about the old house, and she couldn't help being shocked. She pointed out the window, "Someone, I saw a human face."

Lianhuan turned his head away, "How could someone—" suddenly remembered that this must be Ah Zi. Sure enough, Ah Zi's face flashed among the leaves again, shaking her head and laughing at her mischief, Xiangqin didn't know what to do, and screamed in fright. Xiangqin wanted to ask Lianhuan for help, but saw him smiling. Laugh, what are you laughing at? Laughing at Lin Xiangqin's stupidity?Xiangqin's grief and indignation overcame her fear, she grabbed her coat and ran downstairs, Lianhuan had already said it politely and clearly, this is not a place for her to stay for a long time.

Only then did Lianhuan realize that he had deeply hurt a person who loved him, and hurriedly considered chasing him, but the kind explanation would lead to further misunderstandings, and Xiangqin had already rushed to the open space after hesitation. Just as Xiangqin calmed down, Sudang felt a pain in her shoulder. When she looked up, there was a black shadow squatting on the tall oak tree. Then she realized that it was a person, not a ghost. The person who threw stones at her was from outside the window. that face. The stones fell like beans and hit Xiangqin, causing her to cry out in pain. On the other hand, she heard a series of shouts to stop. She didn't dare to stay for long, and ran away with tears in her eyes. Accidentally, she fell and scraped her knee She couldn't care less, she just wanted to leave this strange place as soon as possible.

Xiangqin had never suffered such humiliation in her life, she burst into tears, and in an instant, her fiery and sincere girl's heart was reduced to ashes. Lianhuan didn't see Xiangqin's tears, he opened the window and shouted: "Stop, what are you doing?" Ah Zi turned her head with a hippie smile and looked at Lian Huan. Lianhuan raised the eraser on the desk and wiped it away, but Ah Zi quickly dodged it. "You don't respect my friends, you don't respect me." "I'm sorry to disturb you both." "Ah Zi, you only have yourself in your heart and no one else."

Ah Zi still smiled, "Pull me in." Lianhuan ignored her. A'Zi crawled into the room in a hesitant manner. Only then did Lianhuan see that she was wearing a rose-purple wool coat. He froze. The coat didn't fit well, the style was outdated, Lian Huan could see clearly, he had seen this dress, and his soul was captured. Ah Zi turned around in front of him, "Does it look good?" "Where did this coat come from?" he asked in shock. "I found it in an old clothes box, I believe it was my mother's old clothes." "It doesn't fit you, take it off."

AhZi took off her coat, but she was still wearing a sailor collar sweater inside. Lianhuan looked at her for a while, then sighed and said, "You go." "You're still mad." Lianhuan feels deeply guilty for Xiangqin. "Well, my mother abandoned me early in the morning, my father refused to recognize me as his daughter, and my sister and I were at odds, and now you don't forgive me." Lianhuan told her: "Maybe you also have to take some responsibility." "I'm still young." Ah Zi said stubbornly. "It's no small thing to make everyone around you laugh and cry."

Ah Zi still wanted to argue, but there were footsteps coming from the stairs, it was Lian's wife's voice: "Xiangqin, Lianhuan, have you finished speaking?" She opened the door and came in, "Hey, where is Xiangqin?" Lianhuan lowered her head, "She's gone." Sister Lian was not disappointed, she sat on the edge of the bed, "She was obviously very happy when she came." "It's my fault, I offended her with my words." Sister-in-law Lian shuddered, stood up and closed the window, "It's so cold, I don't know how to be careful." She turned her head, "Hey, is this coat from Xiangqin?"

Lianhuan hurriedly stuffed the coat into the cabinet, "I'll return it to her another day." Sister-in-law Lian stared at her son, "Xiangqin is your good friend, be careful with her." But Lin Xiangqin decided to avoid Lianhuan. She believed him to be her nightmare, and she did it thoroughly.At the beginning of the new semester, she transferred to the Chinese University for classes. Lianhuan was very shocked. This important decision will have a certain impact on Lin Xiangqin's life in the future. If it is purely for his sake, he really cannot bear it.Lianhuan knew very well that it was the utmost kindness not to harass Xiangqin at this time, so he endured and did not react at all.

Xiangqin finally left. He didn't go to the farewell party set up by his classmates for her. Xiangqin sat in a corner, and every time someone came in, she thought it was a serial.At the end of the show, her eyes were sore and astringent, and she left with a haggard appearance, and stood alone by the beach for a while. He didn't even apologize. It's really free and easy, Xiangqin thought mockingly, it is said that people who do great things should be like this.She fell on the railing and cried. She remembered clearly that the sea was pitch black that night. Xiang Quanci was sent to hospital on the same day. Three days later came the bad news. For the first time, Xu Keli showed his ability to handle affairs, and he and District Attorney arranged things neatly. When Lao Lian came back from the mansion, he told his wife: "Second Miss is missing. I searched everywhere but found no one. It's really adding weight to a thousand things, and there are extra problems." Lianhuan was taken aback. "The ceremony will be held tomorrow morning, we must find her, this girl is too unruly, too ignorant." "Do you want to ask Lianhuan to help you find it?" "What's the matter with Lianhuan, he has never seen Xiang Zishan." Lianhuan made no sound. "It's true, Lianhuan has nothing to do with the mansion." Sister Lian said in a very relieved tone. The phone rings. Lianhuan picked up the receiver. There was no sound. Lianhuan felt puzzled, so he said: "Didn't you see the obituary, the master has passed away, you can come back." Sister-in-law Daqi: "Lianhuan, who are you talking to?" Lianhuan hung up the phone, went back upstairs without saying a word. "This kid is long past puberty and still so weird." "Didn't you say that Lin Xiangqin hasn't come for a long time, it must be a relationship dispute." "Free love, more troubles." Lianhuan understood as soon as he entered the room. There seemed to be a wounded animal hiding in his quilt, he went over and gently lifted the quilt, and saw Xiang Zishan crying on the pillow. She didn't know how long she had been here, and naturally she didn't care whether people all over the world were looking for her. Lianhuan didn't speak, and gently held her hand. Xiang Zishan buried her face in his hands. He didn't disturb her, and let her cry until she was so tired that she fell asleep. He sat at the desk and did his homework. Lianhuan doesn't tell anyone that he has found Xiang Zishan. In the middle of the night, Ah Zi wakes up, her mood is calm for a moment, but then the major events that happened a few days ago come to her mind one after another, she bends down on Lian Huan's back and weeps bitterly. Lianhuan carried her on his back and walked back and forth. She didn't grow up, she was still that little Ah Zi. Ah Zi gradually calmed down. Lianhuan put her down, "They are all waiting for you, you must attend the memorial service tomorrow." Ah Zi was silent. "Let's go back." Ah Zi nodded. In the chapel, the Lien family sat in the back seat. Xu Keli and Xiang Baoshan sat in the front seat, Xiang Baoshan was full of anger, she turned her head frequently to see if her sister had arrived. Xiang Zishan has not yet appeared. The sound of the organ became more and more mournful, and the guests gradually gathered, and the time had come. Xu Keli calmly took the stage to deliver a speech. Xiang Zishan is still missing. Lianhuan heard his father murmur, "It's treason." Halfway through Xu Keli's speech, Lianhuan noticed that his eyes had relaxed, he looked back lightly, and saw that Xiang Zishan was already sitting in the last corner. Lianhuan let go of an uneasy heart. He didn't care if she offended relatives or friends, he was only worried about her safety. AhZi bowed her head and prayed silently. Xiang Baoshan felt unwilling, stood up with a "huo", and walked to the back seat, as if she wanted to teach her sister a lesson. Seeing that she came with bad intentions, Lianhuan couldn't help but also walked to the narrow corridor, blocking her way. Xiang Baoshan has always been a bit scrupulous about Lianhuan, but she didn't expect him to help Ah Zi.While hesitating, Xu Keli came down from the stage to hold Xiang Baoshan, and he cast a grateful look at Lianhuan. Lianhuan just sat down quietly. Over there Xiang Baoshan said angrily to Xu Keli: "As soon as the will is read out, I will ask you to drive that rude man out of Xiang's house." Xu Keli was silent, serially rude?His thoughts are more meticulous than anyone else's, Baoshan misjudged the wrong person this time. Seeing that he didn't seem to hear, Xiang Baoshan gave him a push. Xu Keli replied softly: "He does not live in Xiangzhai, so he cannot be expelled." He motioned Baoshan to stand and sing. AhZi never went to sit with her sister. On the way home, Mrs. Lian said, "The two young ladies are now orphans." Lao Lian suddenly felt emotional: "Second Miss is really a soft-tempered person." Lianhuan didn't expect that his father's eyes were like a torch, and he was so moved that his nose ached. Ordinary people only know that Ah Zi is mischievous, mischievous, withdrawn, and has a bad temper. They never thought that it was because she was uncompromising and refused to take the middle route. She was obviously affectionate, but was annoyed by ruthlessness. The clever Xu Keli didn't even understand Xiang Zishan. Ah Zi sat on the boulder and waited for Lianhuan. She said, "It's good that you don't get angry with me again." Lianhuan replied coldly: "That's another matter, I will never forgive you for treating my friend badly." AhZi was displeased: "Is she more important than me?" "Xiang Zishan, you will not become the most important person in the world." Ah Zi sneered, "I shouldn't have come here to seek comfort." Lianhuan couldn't bear it, and sat down opposite her, "Why were you late just now?" Ah Zi snorted, "Do you care?" "Ah Zi, you have no hope." He stood up and wanted to leave. Ah Zi quickly said, "I saw my mother." Lianhuan "Huo" turned around and said, "What?" Ah Zi's expression was complicated, both happy and sad, "I saw her, we had a conversation, so I'm late." Lianhuan's heart skipped a beat, the beautiful woman finally came home. He blurted out: "How is she, is she old, is she happy?" "She was wearing a hat with black mesh, and she was sitting in a big black car, and when she saw me, she stopped me." AhZi had never heard such a beautiful voice, she couldn't help but stop, turned her head, and stared at the woman. There was a distance between them, and Ah Zi couldn't see her face clearly.She got out of the car slowly and stood beside the car, dressed in black.Ah Zi felt that her figure was very familiar, so she stayed where she was, and raised her voice to ask: "Who, may I ask who called me." The woman remained silent, the black net on her face was blowing in the wind, and then again. Ah Zi didn't move, she already knew that this person had a very deep relationship with her. After a long time, the woman said, "I am your mother." There was a slight "buzz" in AhZi's ear, like a little bee swirling around her ear. But she didn't lose her composure, nor did she stride forward to hug the woman, Ah Zi just nodded slightly, "You're back." The woman took a step forward, as if to make a request. Ah Zi told Lian Huan: "I was suddenly afraid, and I told her that I had something important to do, and they were all waiting for me, so I rushed into the chapel." Lianhuanqi asked: "Why are you afraid?" "I saw a bright corner of her skirt exposed under her black robe. It was a deep rose purple. Lianhuan, do you remember that color? It will make your eyes water after looking at it for a long time. It is her favorite color. She did not come back to mourn. Lianhuan , will she come back to claim compensation?" Lianlian pressed Ah Zi's hand. "However, Mr. Xiang has passed away." "Maybe she wants us." "She's your mother." "No, I don't want to go with her," Ah Zi blurted out, "I won't leave the big house, Xu Keli will take care of me." Lian Huan's gaze was cool, and he swept across Ah Zi's face. Ah Zi ignored Lian Huan's feelings and ran back to the big house. She is so cruel. Lianhuan raised his head and saw a slender figure on the ground. At that moment, he kind of hoped that it was Lin Xiangqin.Xiangqin has always put him first, has always been gentle, and has always flattered him.Xiangqin will not hurt him, he will always be number one in Xiangqin's heart. He turned away. It was a slender young woman with a familiar face and posture, she was looking at Lianhuan and smiling slightly. Lianhuan immediately recognized her, "Mrs. Xiang." He called her. She smiled, "You still call me that, my last name is Xiang, my real name is Deng Yuzhen." Lianhuan looked at her, it was strange, she hadn't changed at all, the years had no effect on her, she was still so fair and beautiful, and that mysterious temperament was still lingering. "You're an adult now." Lianhuan is a little shy. "Thank you for taking my call." It was her, it was her who made those mysterious calls. "You've always defended me." She didn't come close, and stood under the oak tree, holding each other's hands. Lianhuan thought he would never see her again, so he was very happy at the moment. "They're all at the mansion, won't you talk to them?" The beautiful woman shook her head, "He won't let me step into the Fragrant House again." There was a series of "heh". "It's not the time yet." She spread her hands helplessly. "I'll make you tea." "I'm leaving now. Lianhuan, thank you." A big black car pulled up and stopped, and Link watched her come down the path. She came this time just to visit Lianhuan, the main reason was to inspect the Xiangshi Building.Lianhuan had a premonition, Ah Zi was right, she seemed to have come here specially to claim compensation. On the day when the will was read out, Lao Lian had already been notified by the district lawyer that he would gather in Xiang's study at 9:00 am. He said to his son, "Lianhuan, you go with me." Seeing the appearance of Lian's father and son, Xiang Bao immediately pulled Xu Keli aside, "What are they doing here?" Xu Keli persuaded: "Baoshan, don't target Lianhuan." "What is he doing here? Is his name in the will?" Xu Keli sighed, "Exactly." "I do not believe." Xu Keli was very surprised, Baoshan is not usually an unreasonable woman, but when she encounters Lianhuan, she behaves abnormally. At this moment, the district lawyer came in and nodded to everyone, and asked, "Xiang Zishan is not going to attend?" Baoshan sneered. Lawyer Au said: "It doesn't matter, Mr. Xiang's will is very simple." He takes out the files. He began to read: "Xiang's Import and Export Company will still be managed by Xu Keli according to his original position. After marrying Baoshan, he can inherit 25% of the shares. The mansion and all the cash will be inherited by Baoshan. Zishan is not my own. Living in a mansion and receiving pocket expenses until adulthood—" Xu Keli and Xiang Baoshan couldn't help but let out a "hmm". Xiang Zishan is not Xiang Quanci's biological son.
