Chapter 419 Hesitation and awkwardness
Chapter 419 Hesitation and awkwardness
During the more than [-] years when his daughter Wu Xia was growing up, Zhong Ren had indeed been "hidden" and never appeared in front of his biological daughter.
Not only did he not appear "face-to-face", but he never even wandered around her.
In a sense, Zhong Ren has truly achieved the philosophy of "meeting is worse than missing" for his "personal flesh and blood".
But this does not prove that Zhong Ren must be stronger than Wu Zhenting in terms of "emotion" and has a stronger ability to "bear pressure" than him.
However, Wu Zhenting has never had any biological children of his own. After the death of his beloved wife, Wu Xia, his adopted daughter, became his only spiritual "sustainment".He watched her grow up day by day, how could he not be deeply invested in his father's love.
As for Zhong Ren, besides Wu Xia, he also has a pair of sons and a group of grandchildren.With many children and grandchildren, and Wu Xia didn't grow up under his nose, she just bears the title of "Illegitimate Daughter" in name only.There are really not many other contacts.
Another one, even after Zhong Ren's "wife Wu Rong" died of a stubborn illness, there is still a "little three" Cheng Qing who has been by his side and accompanied him to retreat. From the perspective of family affection, Zhong Ren is actually far less "lonely" than Wu Zhenting .
Therefore, it is not surprising that he is more "open-minded" than Wu Zhenting when it comes to his daughter Wu Xia.
Even, it is not something to be particularly "proud of".
Wu Zhenting just didn't have a particularly clear "insight" into Zhong Ren's above-mentioned real thoughts, which caused him to have various suspicions frequently, and had a conflict with his daughter Wu Xia, who had the best relationship with him, for more than a year or two. ah.
Fortunately, Wu Xia is still a very sensible and filial daughter.Gradually, she also got tired of the rigid relationship with her father similar to the "cold war".
Even though she had been secretly obstructed by her father Wu Zhenting when she was trying to find a job by herself, she was not actually annoyed by Wu Zhenting in her heart.It can only be said that the father and daughter have their own ideas.
That is, the "philosophy" is different, but there is no major "crack" in the relationship between father and daughter.
No, this year, taking advantage of his father's "longevity", Wu Xia tried every means to prepare a very decent "birthday gift" for his father Wu Zhenting despite the "very poor" financial situation.
He even decided to formally bring his boyfriend "Liang Teng" to "congratulate his father Wu Zhenting" on his birthday.
This is equivalent to taking your boyfriend to meet his "parents".As long as she gets her father's approval, the matter between her and Liang Teng will be considered "sure".
Of course, even without the approval of the elders, Wu Xia felt that the matter between himself and Liang Teng could still be a "certainty".She pays more attention to and obeys her feelings.She felt that the relationship with Liang Teng had accumulated over time and had grown to an "unbreakable" level.Regardless of whether the people around him "bless" or not, they will not be able to separate him and Liang Teng.
But if he can get the approval of his father Wu Zhenting, then things will become more and more complete.
It can be said that with the approval and blessing of her father Wu Zhenting, Wu Xia felt that she and Liang Teng could soon go to the step of "talking about marriage" and then "stepping into the palace of marriage".
Therefore, even though Wu Xia has "identified" Liang Teng in this life, she still looks forward to her father's perception and approval of her boyfriend.
In short, under such circumstances, in fact, if Wu Xia never knew about the existence of "Zhong Ren", it would be a good thing for her.
In layman's terms, after Zhong Ren has been "hidden" for more than 20 years, he should not jump out when "Wu Xia is about to enter a new and better marriage field with the person he likes". Let things produce unpredictable variables.
Zhong Ren didn't show up, that's right.
It's a pity that even if Zhong Ren doesn't show up, Zhong Ren's other two sons learned that Zhong Ren's "illegitimate daughter" was sent to the hospital as early as the year when their mother Wu Rong suffered from "senile dementia". It's the secret of Wu Zhenting's house.
And I also learned from the detective that Zhong Ren's illegitimate daughter, their "cheap sister", was named "Wu Xia".
Knowing the above-mentioned secret back then, the "Zhong brothers" can be regarded as the kind of people who can bear it.After more than ten years, the two of them did not find out the above-mentioned "old things".Just like their "shenyin" father Zhong Ren, he didn't go to Wu Zhenting to ask for benefits, similar to "hush money".
It seems that such a "secret of life experience" about Wu Xia has been "dusted".With the gradual aging and passing away of many parties, there will no longer be a day when it will be revealed to the world.
However, I never expected that, as the saying goes, "paper can't contain fire after all", the secret of Wu Xia's life experience will eventually be revealed to the world one day.
Moreover, the arrival of "that day" was very abrupt, without any sign, as if the "truth" was directly presented to Wu Xia.
This matter has to go back to Liang Teng dragging Wu Xia and Yan Qianyu's two daughters, sneaking into the basement of the huge "Houhai Courtyard" he newly purchased, and "exploring secrets" like a net.
There are actually two seemingly inconspicuous “basements”.And there is a small "secret door" connecting the two "basements".
As for the entrance to the "basement", the waist of an ancient tree growing against the wall in the courtyard was cleverly used to create a passage leading to the "basement".
All kinds of "whimsical" ingenious designs are rarely seen in the past.This made Liang Teng and Wu Xia curious about the treasures hidden in the "basement" and had higher expectations.He even sneaked into the "basement" without hesitating to "take the risk of his own life" to find out the mystery in person.
As a result, there is nothing more expensive than the "gift contract" with an astonishing area around the "siheyuan".But there is also a special harvest.That is, there is actually a manuscript "Autobiography" left by the youngest son of the previous owner of this "siheyuan".
If it's just an irrelevant and ordinary autobiography of someone else's family, that's fine.
But the identity of the "oral narrator" of this "Autobiography" is a bit special.He is the "professional detective" who was invited by the "Zhong brothers" to "investigate" the relationship between his father Zhong Ren and "Cheng Qing".
A professional detective is not very interested in the emotional entanglements of ordinary people, such as the "resentment and hatred" between ordinary people Zhong Ren and Cheng Qing.In the detective's "Autobiography", there is "not much ink" on this incident.
But what interested the detective most was that Zhong Ren and Cheng Qing's biological daughters gave them away, and they became the richest private enterprises in China.
This is what the detective is most interested in. For this, he spent a lot of pen and ink in his "Autobiography", detailing the ins and outs of the whole thing.
As long as you read such an "Autobiography" (in fact, the length is only tens of thousands of words, not too much), do you wonder if the most "gossip-worthy" part of the "Autobiography" involves the big secret of Wu Zhenting's family? ,how can that be possible?
That is tantamount to indirectly recording Wu Xia's real life experience.
For other explorers who entered the "basement", they may not be interested in reading the densely written manuscripts with tens of thousands of words.
However, Liang Teng and Wu Xia already had a very high "sensitivity" to records such as words, not to mention the discovery of a large number of "gift contracts" for plots of land in this "basement". "Coach Zhou" has dozens of ancestral prescriptions, and has long been highly curious about the identity of the treasure hunter in this "basement".
Seeing something similar to "written records", the attention of the two protagonists was naturally attracted to it without any surprise.
Even at the speed of "ten lines at a glance", you have to browse it roughly.
It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, you can see a big problem.
Liang Teng and Wu Xia never dreamed that the "manuscript" contained a large amount of text about Wu Xia.Moreover, this part of the recorded text is the most "gossip" content in the entire "manuscript". From an outsider's perspective, it is not an exaggeration to call it the "most core content".
The content of those "gossip" suddenly made Liang Teng and Wu Xia, who were originally full of interest, dumbfounded.
Liang Teng didn't even know what to say.
Mainly affected by Wu Xia's emotions.If the real person involved didn't care, Liang Teng would at most see a piece of "big gossip" from people around him. How could he have any big mood swings?
But looking at Wu Xia beside him, during the process of reading the "manuscript", and even after reading it, his pretty face had already turned from "sunny to cloudy", and in the end it was simply "dark clouds".The face that had always been smiling became serious, and it also took on a rather uncomfortable "majesty" - just like the seriousness and majesty of a superior person when he was in a bad mood.
But what is Liang Teng's relationship with her? It is impossible to be "deterred", but it is more of a worry for her.
Liang Teng hesitated for a moment, and then said to Wu Xia: "The records in this manuscript may not have high credibility, so it's a 'mysterious' thing. It feels like it will only appear in a 'nine stream' with the same plot. Dog.Blood.Life Drama'In..."
This was originally to comfort Wu Xia.But Wu Xia, who is in a terrible mood at the moment, has become a little "sensitive" accordingly, worrying that others (mainly Liang Teng, the "other") will despise her origin.
It is true that the "gossip" recorded in the "manuscript" still needs to be checked again. Is it true? !But according to the thinking logic of normal people, it should not be "fake" content, or in other words, its credibility is still quite high, and there is a high probability that it will not be fake.
After all, you must know that this "manuscript" is the "self-proclaimed" stuff left in the "basement" and "secret".Since it is not intended to be made public, there is a high probability that there is no need for "falsification".
Generally, the content of this kind of "autobiography" that is not handed down to the world is generally the most authentic.Just like some people who love to keep a diary, it is impossible for him to take the trouble of "faking" every day while keeping a "diary", right?Unless you are a celebrity, you know that your "diary" will be published one day, and the public will see it one day.
Judging subjectively from a certain mindset, Liang Teng and Wu Xia have actually roughly determined that the content of Wu Xia's life experience recorded in the "manuscript" is not false.
Besides, it is not difficult to verify the "authenticity" of such records.
The traditional method is to find professional detectives to investigate the life trajectories of the people involved, as the "Zhong Brothers" used back then.See if there is a high overlap?Or in the process, new evidence can be found to prove it.
In addition, there is another most direct and effective way to "verify authenticity", which is to directly ask the person involved.Wu Zhenting is so forgetful that he cannot remember whether he adopted Wu Xia as his biological daughter?
If Wu Zhenting is afraid of being irritated by asking about this matter, he can use a lock of his hair or something like Wu Xia's to do a "paternity test" without him knowing...
In short, before, I never thought that I would be my father's biological daughter.When you have doubts, in fact, if you want to verify, it is not difficult at all.There are many other means of proof.
Even if you are concerned about the feelings of the person concerned, you can complete an "appraisal" without the other party's knowledge.
In short, because "verification" is actually not difficult, Wu Xia and Liang Teng have actually been inclined to believe that the content of the "manuscript" concerning Wu Xia's life experience is true and correct.
This is why Wu Xia's mood suddenly became so bad.
If she didn't believe it, she could completely ignore it and remain calm.It is precisely because I have already believed [-]% in my heart that I am hesitant!A little at a loss!A sense of helplessness arises spontaneously.
Accompanying this is the sensitivity of being afraid of being "looked down upon" by your sweetheart because of your "humble life experience".This is also one of the important reasons why Wu Xia feels "hesitant".
At this time, it seemed that everything Liang Teng said was "wrong"!
What he said that the content involving Wu Xia in the "manuscript" had a taste of "nine-flow dog. blood. plot", which also made Wu Xia have some other associations.
She was silent for a moment, and couldn't help choking out a sentence: "Yes! It is very likely that my background is so bloody! Originally, in the eyes of you self-made elites, the so-called 'rich family' I belong to is itself a It's a big joke, it's a production base for all kinds of dog and blood plots! What's more, I'm just from a 'pseudo-rich family'. That rich family itself doesn't belong to me, I just live here occasionally , when one day I 'wake up', it should be time for me to leave it..."
Liang Teng also realized that Wu Xia's mood fluctuated too much, not stable!Everything he says now seems to cause her to think of "bad things"!
Liang Teng fell silent.
But her silence made Wu Xia feel a kind of "contempt".At this time, shouldn't he have more comfort for her?
Who are you showing that "dead face" to?
Could it be that her real background gave him an incomparable "sense of superiority" all of a sudden? !
……
I have to say that once a woman wants to "make trouble for no reason", no man can really stand it.
Even for a person like Wu Xia with a fairly good temper, if he really wanted to get emotional and awkward with Liang Teng, Liang Teng would feel "restless".
It’s so uncomfortable and frustrating.
