If you start from the source of the Lu family, this matter is really complicated. Lu Xi's grandparents divorced after giving birth to Lu Xi's father and his aunt, and the two got married again. Among them, Lu Xi's father and his aunt His father left, and his aunt left with her mother.

Lu Xi's grandfather remarried and gave birth to another child. Lu Xi's father's status was very embarrassing, so he went out to earn money when he was young, and later reconnected with his aunt.

Lu Xi's father was not close to his grandfather, but he was still father and son. After Lu Xi was born, his father took him to see his grandfather's house.

If you want to find the footprints of Lu Xi's father and mother in the past, you have to ask slowly from his grandpa and grandma.

Lu Xi's grandfather was in the countryside of his hometown, some distance from Yuchuan, and the traffic was inconvenient, but Lu Xi and the others drove there, so it didn't affect much.

The mountain road is a bit rough, but the infrastructure of the motherland is good, and the roads on both sides are fairly open, and two vehicles can pass by giving way.Lu Xi and Zhu Yu added two more bodyguards, one as the driver and the other as their adults. After bidding farewell to Father Zhu, they boarded the car vigorously, went out in the morning, and arrived at the village where Grandpa Lu Xi was at after 1:[-] in the afternoon. .

For so many years, since Lu Xi's father passed away, Lu Xi has never been back. No matter how weak the relationship between Lu Xi's father and his grandfather is, they are still father and son. Lu Xi's elementary and junior high school education money is paid by both his grandfather and grandma. It was not until he was earning money on his own in high school that he stopped sending money.

Knowing that Lu Xi was coming back, his grandfather and step-grandmother prepared a table of good food, and his uncle by blood and uncle by law also came.The whole family sat at a table, and this kind of feeling that seemed close but was separated by mountains and seas was very delicate, and even Zhu Yu felt a little nervous, a little embarrassed and a little sad.

Fortunately, rural people are very simple. They don't touch emotional pain very much. They deliberately avoid words such as loneliness and loneliness, and choose to stay in superficial care.

During a meal, Lu Xi was asked countless times how he ate, how he dressed, whether he was bullied at school, whether the teacher treated you well... and so on.

After eating, Lu Xi had a chance to get along with grandpa.

Step-grandmother found an excuse to leave, and grandpa smoked in silence.Lu Xi and Zhu Yu were standing next to each other, the room was silent for a while, after a while, Lu Xi said:

"grandfather--"

The old man's hands trembled.

"Grandpa, I want to know if my dad told you about my mother back then, anything is fine."

"Your mother..."

The old man showed his reminiscence: "It was not convenient to communicate at that time. Your dad called back and said that he had a girlfriend. He sounded very happy at that time. Later, after a while, your dad brought you back. But he only brought you back, not your mother."

"I asked him, where is the child's mother? He shook his head and said no more. He was still young at that time, in his early twenties. I thought the little girl was probably at this age. Maybe she didn't think about it. He was together, and later repented and left you father and son and ran away, so I didn't poke his sadness again."

"Impossible, my mother didn't go back!"

Lu Xi immediately refuted this speculation. His grandfather told him personally that he sent someone to find his mother, but his mother replied that he would not come back. Moreover, if Zhao Sujin went back, how could the Zhao family's property be so big that they couldn't go back?

Did his mother die after giving birth to him?

This guess made Lu Xi feel even more uncomfortable, but at the same time, he still couldn't explain his confusion. If his mother passed away like this, his father would not be able to hide it from his grandfather. Even if he was afraid that his grandfather would snatch him away, she would still be his only daughter.

Taking a step back, even if he was worried that his grandfather would snatch him away, he should tell himself when he was sick and about to die, didn't he know how difficult it would be for a child without parents?

Can't make sense.

"That's all I know. Your father is not a talkative person, and he and I... We are not close either."

Lu Xi had thought of this possibility before he came, and he asked a few more questions about where his father had been, and after recording a few addresses, he was ready to end today's meeting.

As soon as he walked out the door, his little uncle came in with a plate of fruit.

"Oh, are you done talking?"

This uncle is the child born after his grandfather and step-grandmother remarried. He is seven years older than Lu Xi. He is a 24-year-old young man, very emotional. Red several times.

"Well, it's over."

"So fast?"

The little uncle obviously felt that Lu Xi was very pitiful, and didn't want him to leave immediately, so he said, "Then you stay at night and live in the city, and I'll take you to play."

Lu Xi hesitated.

Zhu Yu looked at him: "We can go back tomorrow."

"Yeah!"

That night, Lu Xi's little uncle really acted as an adult and accompanied Lu Xi and Zhu Yu to many places. He also paid for the money, probably from the adults in the family.

After the end, he also stayed in the hotel.

The standard of the small place hotel is not high, but Lu Xi and Zhu Yu are not people who care about it. At night, the little uncle's heart of gossip finally overwhelms the heart of a loving elder.

He winked: "Lu Xi, is Zhu Yu your girlfriend?"

Lu Xi glanced at him nonchalantly, without answering or denying it.

"Hey, you're still the best, I don't have a girlfriend until now."

Lu Xi had a good feeling for this stupid and innocent little uncle, and asked, "Have you gone to work?"

"It's time to go to work, and it's near here. I heard my dad say you're coming back, so I rushed back immediately."

There was a sad look on his face again: "My brother left home too early, we haven't been close for a few years, fortunately he still left you..."

Speaking of this, Lu Xi's expression darkened.

"And you...have you met your mother?"

Lu Xi's heart trembled suddenly: "No, have you seen her?"

"No, no." The little uncle waved his hands quickly and said:

"I've never seen it before, when my brother came back, he didn't bring his sister-in-law back..."

If it was a different person, he might not be able to notice the subtleties in his words, but Lu Xi is naturally sensitive, and he caught something almost instantly:

"Do you think my dad didn't bring my mom back, they had a fight or something? Why do you think so?"

The little uncle was taken aback.

"Ah? That... At that time, my brother brought you back, because he only hugged you, so I was very surprised where my sister-in-law went. Later, I asked him privately, and he told me so—"

Although his face was tired, the man who still couldn't hide his clear facial features, after hearing the innocent question of his younger brother, he suddenly covered his face as if he couldn't bear it, and said in a trembling voice:

"Brother, brother is useless. I failed to bring your sister-in-law back. It's because my brother is too useless. If I can be more capable..."

Uncle Lu, who was still young at that time, had a deep thought in his heart: his sister-in-law despised her brother as useless, unable to make money, and left her brother and son behind.

This impression has remained in his mind for so many years, and the man's painful sobs have never dimmed.

Lu Xi was short of breath, so, did his father feel that he was dumped by his mother?

What about mom?

What about Zhao Sujin?

Zhu Yu came over from the next room, saw Lu Xi's fierce expression inside the door, and hurried forward: "What's wrong?"

"My mother—" Lu Xi firmly held Zhu Yu's hand, and squeezed out each word from between his teeth:

"My mother might still be alive."

Zhu Yu's gaze instantly became sad.

However, at this moment Lu Xi was immersed in the great surprise that his mother had dumped his father, so it was possible that his mother was still alive, and did not see his face.

……

Knowing the news that Zhao Sujin might still be alive in the world, this matter is not something that only the two children Lu Xi and Zhu Yu can handle. That night, Lu Xi called his grandfather.

Mr. Zhao was very excited, but at the same time, he was also a fine person, and he felt something keenly.

"I'll let someone investigate this matter..."

Lu Xi hesitated to speak.

"I know, this time, I will arrange for different people to investigate and report directly to me."

Lu Xi nodded: "It's good that you know."

It's not that they can't trust their grandpa, but Lu Xi and Zhu Yu hired someone to investigate again. Waiting for the results of the investigation is a torment, especially for the people on both sides, one is their daughter and the other is their mother. They are looking forward to being with her. Meet each other, even if it is just to know that she is still alive.

However, the god of luck did not choose them. A week later, Lu Xi and Mr. Zhao received a death certificate about Zhao Suzhen at the same time, and the body was claimed and signed. Oral report.

It stated that it was the Zhao family brothers who secretly transferred Zhao Suzhen to their hospital and strictly controlled her.Zhao Suzhen lost blood and died during childbirth, and they ordered the doctor not to disclose the matter. They also took Zhao Suzhen's child to another man.

As early as when all the testimonies were connected together, Lu Xi had a faint premonition, but perhaps his subconsciousness prevented him from thinking about it. He did not expect this result until the evidence was presented to him.

"Grandpa..."

This precocious young man blankly called his dearest person, and when Mr. Zhao got the report, he flew to Yuchuan, hugged his grandson tightly, and burst into tears.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I didn't expect them to be such beasts!"

The people hired by Zhu Yu stood aside, embarrassed but had to remind them:

"During our investigation, we found that someone was trying to destroy the evidence. Fortunately, there are files here. I think those people already know that we have found them."

"Since they dare to hide the death of their relatives for the sake of power and separate our grandparents and grandchildren for 17 years, I will punish them!"

At this time, Mr. Zhao is not the old man who has retired in the original book. Apart from the relationship between his confidants and a few old friends, he has no real power in his hands. He is the real power holder of the Zhao family. It is easy to deal with the other brothers of the Zhao family. But it will never be as weak as the original.

The eyes of this old man who has cultivated himself for several years burst out with fiery light, and his pupils were full of hatred.

"Lu Xi, don't worry, I will definitely avenge your mother, and I will watch you take over my burden. Grandpa will be fine."

For Lu Xi, it was his mother who had disappeared in his life for 17 years and possibly existed for 7 days, while for Mr. Zhao, it was his daughter whom he had been looking forward to and loved for nearly 40 years who died suddenly. After looking forward, he returned to despair. The latter was hit far harder than the former. However, under the persistence of hatred and love for his grandson, his palm protecting Lu Xi was so tenacious and firm.

Lu Xi leaned himself into the arms of his blood relatives, and with a single tear, missed the closest relatives he had only seen in photos and videos.

Lu Xi and Grandpa went to City A again later, they searched all the cemeteries in City A, and finally found a matching information.The brothers of the Zhao family were blinded by interests and concealed the death of their sister, but they finally had a little conscience and bought her a good tomb, and even had it cleaned regularly.

But what good is that, it's just crocodile tears, making up for their guilt with little effort.If they really repented, they wouldn't have a picture on their tombstones.

Zhao's old hand caressed the words on the tombstone.

"Little Hibiscus, my little Hibiscus, I brought your son here. It was my fault, and it was my father who forgot you and made you and your grandson suffer so many years outside. I swear, I will avenge you , I won’t let any of those brothers touch our family’s things, I want to leave all the good things to Lu Xi.”

"Lu Xi, come and see your mother."

Lu Xi's eyes were red from the moment he walked into the cemetery. His life was muddled after his father died at the age of seven. He worked hard to make a living and to study. This sharp, heart-piercing pain made him feel uncomfortable all over his body.

The young man knelt in front of the tombstone, slowly scratching down the topmost word with trembling fingers.

"mom, Mom, Mom."

At that moment, something broke in his heart. He knew that it was the bondage of his 17-year-old concept of "mother". From then on, he was a child with a mother.

……

Lu Xi was silent for a while after returning from City A, and Zhu Yu knew that he must be digesting this matter in his heart at this time, he could not comfort or forgive him, and waited for him to digest it by himself.

Mr. Zhao originally wanted to take Lu Xi back, but on the one hand, Lu Xi wanted to be more calm, and on the other hand, the internal war in the Zhao family was about to start. Lu Xi probably would not be able to be at peace when he went back now, so he might as well be in Yuchuan.

However, in order to protect Lu Xi and his aunt, Elder Zhao and Father Zhu jointly decided to let him live in the school, not to go out unless necessary, and to bring bodyguards when going out.

Zhu's father arranged for him to live in the teacher's building, and his aunt lived with him. In order to prevent someone from retaliation, his aunt also left her job and now lives with Lu Xi.This also solved one of Zhu Yu's concerns. Lu Xi's aunt passed away unfortunately in a medical disturbance. Now that she has left the hospital, it's okay.

After a while, Zhu Yu could notice that Lu Xi was obviously more silent than before, it seemed that the truth still hurt him.

Zhu Yu felt unspeakably uncomfortable, and after talking with her family, Zhu Yu also decided to live in the school.

On the first day of living in the dormitory, he gave Lu Xi a surprise. That night after the evening self-study, Zhu Yu and Lu Xi met in the corridor, and they said good night to each other.And when Lu Xi returned to the dormitory, just put down his schoolbag and was about to go to the bathroom to wash his face, there was a knock on the door.

He opens the door:

"Surprise!!"

Zhu Yu appeared holding a pot of flowers, her small face was full of smiles.

"Yeah!" He shook the flowerpot in his hand, and it was all blooming, Lu Xi was dumbfounded.

"You, what are you doing?"

"I'll send you flowers." Zhu Yu said with a face of reason:

"Send you a pot of flowers, I hope you will be as happy as flowers every day."

Lu Xi stared at the flowerpot in her hand, the young man's quiet face was filled with a sense of freedom and melancholy, he tapped a leaf on it, raised his head and said:

"What if the flowers fade in autumn?"

Zhu Yu responded calmly: "My love for you will never wither."

Lu Xi: "..."

Zhu Yu: "..."

"Forget it, just pretend you didn't hear it just now. Anyway, we will be neighbors from now on! Please take care of me, neighbor~"

Zhu Yu forced the flowerpot into Lu Xi's hand, then turned around, hummed a brisk song and swaggered into the door next door, closed the door, and closed all the bright spring scenery brought by the girl , only the fragrance of flowers floats slowly in the air, and there is still a girlish sweetness.

Lu Xi looked down at the flowers in his hands, and suddenly smiled. If Zhu Yu was still here, he would be the first to see the young man smiling after he came back from City A.
