Winter Blazing Wild

As soon as this question was asked, there was a long silence.

This is the first time Yu Lan has faced this issue directly.

In fact, I have thought about it many times in my heart, but no one has ever asked me.

Yu Tang leaned against Yu Lan and looked up at her. "Today, it's just the two of us at home. Grandma helped me find my inner determination. Maybe I can also help Grandma resolve the knot in her heart."

She blinked, trying not to let the subject get too heavy.

Yu Jingmei reached out and scratched the tip of Yu Tang's nose. "The situation is different. Shen Dong and I... when we met, he wasn't single."

It turns out there is this layer. Yu Tang became interested and listened carefully with his ears perked up.

"After we confirmed our feelings for each other, he took the initiative to break up, but the environment was different back then. It's not easy to sort out a relationship. There were all kinds of complicated things going on behind the scenes, so in the end, we had to compromise."

"Have you ever loved him?" Yu Tang asked.

Yu Lan was silent for a long time, then shook her head. "It's meaningless to talk about this now. The most precious thing about human feelings is the present moment. As time passes, everything changes."

Yes, times have changed and my mood has changed.

"So, I've always been against your mother using your feelings as a bargaining chip. But fortunately, someone like Zhou Shenye appeared. He can attract your heart and also has the background your mother wants. It's the best of both worlds."

Yu Tang was amused. "It sounds like Zhou Shenye is really miserable. He is being toyed with by our Yu family."

"It's his honor to be favored by my precious granddaughter. He should be grateful."

After finishing the serious talk and returning to the role of family member, Yu Lan naturally sided with Yu Tang.

Yu Tang chuckled twice, "Grandma, do you know where my household registration book is?"

Fortunately, Yu Jingmei didn't come back today, and the grandparents and grandchildren did something secret behind her back. Otherwise, if she knew the news, it would not be so easy to get Yu Tang's household registration book.

It turns out that the mother-in-law is the biggest obstacle for the son-in-law to enter the family.

"Wait a moment, I'll get it for you."

Yu Lan got up and went upstairs to look at the household registration book.

Yu Tang sat on the sofa downstairs waiting for her.

A few minutes later, when Yu Lan came downstairs with her things, Yu Tang had already fallen asleep on the sofa.

So much has happened recently, I'm really tired.

The string in my head was always tense, until I went home today and had these heart-to-heart talks with my grandma, and then I finally relaxed a little.

As he relaxed, he felt sleepy and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

The housekeeper brought a blanket to cover her and wanted to wake her up, but Yu Lan stopped her, "Let her sleep here for a while, and turn up the heating at home."

Yu Lan sat down on the sofa next to her and reached out to push away the strands of hair that were blocking Yu Tang's forehead.

"It's really hard to be born into a family like the Yu family. I've wronged you. This time, I hope your choice is the right one. Even if there are changes in the future, don't regret the decision you made now."

……

The Yu family mansion was peaceful and tranquil, while Changle Pavilion on the other side was still bustling with lights and feasting.

Zhou Shenye looked impatiently at Han Cheng who was sitting opposite him, and then glanced at the table full of unopened beers.

"Why did you call me here in such a hurry? We're not drinking. If we want to talk, we can go to your studio or my house. How can we have a good conversation in a noisy place like Changle Pavilion?"

Neither of them drinks alcohol, and most of the time when they get together they just drink coffee and tea, which really seems out of place in the atmosphere of Changle Pavilion.

Han Cheng stood up nervously, closed the door, and made a hushing gesture.

"Don't you know you're being watched? It's inconvenient to talk at your house, and going to a studio would easily lead to spies. On the contrary, coming to a place of pleasure like this would be easier to conceal."

He snorted softly as he spoke, "I'm still not happy. I feel like I'm being stinked after staying in a place like this for even a minute!"

What elegant artists hate most are places of entertainment.

Zhou Shenye snorted, "Then stop keeping me in suspense and just say what you want to say."

Han Cheng, still looking nervous, walked over and sat down. He pulled out a stack of photos from somewhere and handed them to Zhou Shenye. "Don't you always have a keen sense of smell? How come you didn't realize you were being followed for so long?"

Zhou Shenye picked up the photo and looked through it, his face darkening little by little.

The content of the photos spans several months, and the same figure can be seen in a corner not far away whenever Zhou Shenye appears in public.

The photo is not very clear, I can only vaguely feel that it is a middle-aged man, tall and with good temperament.

Zhou Shenye's brows were clouded with gloom. "This person..."

"Do you think he looks familiar?" Han Cheng kept the question in suspense.

"never seen it."

Han Cheng quickly put the photo away and burned it with the candlelight on the table.

Turning around to start the next topic, "There's something else I need to tell you. Something happened to the orphanage that adopted you a while ago."

"What?" Zhou Shenye's eyes became nervous.

"Don't be nervous," Han Cheng patted his arm. "It's not a bad thing for you. The director when you were here retired many years ago. The one who took over after him was a greedy, drunkard. He turned the orphanage into a mess. Due to huge losses, he accepted money and leaked the information of all the children adopted in the past twenty years."

Zhou Shenye took a breath and said, "How could he do such a thing?"

The most important thing for an orphanage is the children's information, which must be kept absolutely confidential.

Han Cheng laughed, "People, when tempted by money, will do anything."

What the orphanage did was not surprising, but when Han Cheng suddenly mentioned it, it became a bit ambiguous.

Zhou Shenye looked at his meaningful smile, as if he had guessed something. He felt a pang in his heart, "My information has been leaked too?"

Han Cheng nodded.

Zhou Shenye's face darkened again and he glanced at the candlelight on the table.

The photos just now have been burned to ashes and disappeared.

But the blurry figure in the photo was infinitely magnified in Zhou Shenye's mind.

There was no need for Han Cheng to say anything more. Zhou Shenye strung these fragmented clues into a complete line in his mind.

"Could it be... them?"

It's ridiculous and unbelievable.

Han Cheng sighed deeply. "I took the opportunity of my business trip to investigate. The two people we suspected before did come to Yuncheng. I think the man following you in the photo might be your biological father."

There was silence.

Before Zhou Shenye could calm down, Han Cheng told him an even more shocking news, "Have you ever suspected that the car accident you were in a while ago was also related to this person?"
