Chapter 214 The World Is Always So Small ([-])
However, it was not Xia Zhenglang who answered Wan Qing, but the photo on the ground that was divided into two. Wan Qing looked away from the ugly-faced Xia Zhenglang, looked at the photo on the ground, and bent over to pick it up.

If the black-and-white photos were not taken extremely rough, and there are traces of yellowing on the sides, Wan Qing would really think that this is an artistic photo.

The woman in the photo has two big braids, black and black hanging down her shoulders, a pair of very bright big eyes, and even her own shadow can be seen in them.

The woman looks bright and smiling, and at first glance she looks like Xiao Hua in the movie.

Mother?

Wan Qing's fingers rubbed it unconsciously, and the feelings in her heart were complicated, it seemed kind, but it was so strange, and there was also an inexplicable sense of loss and sourness.

Xia Wanqing doesn't want to be a redundant person in anyone's life, but fate seems to have arranged such a role for her time and time again.

"You are not an illegitimate daughter!"

Xia Wanyang's voice came from outside the door, Wan Qing was taken aback for a moment, and turned to look at Xia Wanyang's eyes with a faint flash of obscurity. Compared with Ge Meiqiao's restlessness, Xia Wanyang was obviously much calmer.

"The woman Papa used to like!"

When Xia Wanyang said this, she glanced at the photo, explaining this, Wan Qing's heart relaxed a little, but she still couldn't figure it out.

"Wanyang, go out and persuade your mother!"

Xia Zhenglang interrupted what Xia Wanyang seemed to be about to say, Xia Wanyang didn't say anything, but just glanced at Wan Qing, turned around and went out, closing the door behind her.

There was a brief silence in the study, Wan Qing met Xia Zhenglang's stern gaze, and only heard him say:

"Xiaoqing, haven't your parents been good enough to you for so many years?"

This is the first time I heard Xia Zhenglang questioning like this, with a feeling of depression, Wan Qing shook her head and said:

"My parents are very kind to me. I am very grateful. What I said at the wedding was sincere! Someone deliberately made a fuss about my life experience."

Wan Qing met Xia Zhenglang's gaze, and told the truth without any evasion. After hearing this, Xia Zhenglang stopped pursuing it, but sighed a long time and said:

"Her name is Yang Xiao'an. After giving birth to you, she got seriously ill. Later, she put you in an orphanage and left alone!"

Xia Zhenglang's brief statement made Wan Qing want to laugh, but she couldn't. This kind of story that only happens in novels happened to her.

She bent her lips and smiled bitterly, but she grasped the photo tightly and tried her best to make herself look calm, but she still couldn't restrain the bitterness in her heart.

"They said they were looking for your father, but they never came back!"

When Xia Zhenglang said this, his mind was a little far away, and there was even a certain kind of immersion in memory, but also a little bit of solemnity, and then he woke up from the solemn memory, Wan Qing met Xia Zhenglang's gaze At that time, I wanted to call Dad again, but I couldn't say anything.

"I have always treated you like my own daughter, Xiaoqing, there are some secrets that should never be revealed. It seems that you don't understand this truth!"

Xia Zhenglang's words changed, and there was more sternness, just like in the past, it seemed that his father's love was like a mountain, but there was more coldness, Wan Qing knew that this time he was really embarrassed and angry.

"I'm sorry~"

Wan Qing lowered her head, and found that she was powerless to say one more word, but Xia Zhenglang waved her hand and said:
"You have nothing to do here, go back first, you have seen it too, your mother will be angry when she sees you!"

What Xia Zhenglang said was not unreasonable, Wan Qing nodded, turned around and opened the door, and saw Xia Wanyang standing at the door of the master bedroom knocking on the door, obviously, Ge Meiqiao was still in a rage and didn't want to listen to others comfort.

For a woman, this is humiliating and hurts her feelings, especially for a face-saving woman like Ge Meiqiao. Wan Qing took a deep breath, nodded goodbye to Xia Wanyang, and ran away from the summer house as if fleeing After coming out, looking back, the still brightly lit summer house seemed more like a mirage, far away and unapproachable, alienated under the night.

Wan Qing squeezed the photo tightly, looking at the woman in the photo who was still smiling like a flower, she couldn't wait for love.

If possible, she would rather never know the truth, but unfortunately, there are always people who will not let her have a smooth sailing.

If the person who prevented her from getting married was either Lai Xue or Jing Ai, it was obvious that Qiao Jinfan had guessed it too, didn't he?

Only she had that reason and that motivation to do it. Wan Qing still remembered Jing Ai's anomaly at the wedding. Such a woman's obsession with love was absolutely shocking.

With such a persistent and reckless Jing Ai, did Qiao Jinfan really forget her just like that?If he knew that what Jing Ai did, how would he face it?I couldn't help but want to ask Qiao Jinfan, but I was afraid that such questioning would hurt not him, but the trust between each other.

She didn't want to force Qiao Jinfan to confront Jing Ai, but with such Jing Ai, she couldn't just pretend that nothing happened.

Wan Qing glanced at the time, she was driving the car aimlessly, it was still early, but she didn't want to go back to Qiao's house.

"Miss, how many are there?"

The waiters at the bar were attentive and considerate. Wan Qing picked a quiet and claustrophobic seat and sat down. She took out the torn photo and put it together again. Her heart was still split in two like this photo. I can't find the warmth of home.

Xia Wanqing is not an orphan. She has a father and a mother, but she doesn't know where she is. Isn't this even more ironic?
Wan Qing refuses to think about abandoning this concept, but these two words seem to be stuck in her mind, and she can't get rid of them.

Wan Qing seldom goes to the bar to drink by herself, but at this moment, she really wants to anesthetize herself!

It's a pity that drinking makes her sad and sad, Wan Qing finally understands why Xueyao always cries when she's drunk, it's just lending herself a cowardly reason, an outlet to vent.

Wan Qing wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at the bottomed out red wine bottle, her senses were still there, what she longed for was Qiao Jinfan's embrace and warmth, which could dispel the sorrow and desolation of time.

He took out his cell phone and called Qiao Jinfan.

Then Qiao Jinfan didn't answer, Wan Qing got up and made a phone call while walking out, with unsteady steps, bumped into the man next to her, Wan Qing just wanted to say sorry, but the man grabbed her arm.
