never far away

The next day Lin An got up very early, made a simple breakfast for himself, and saved food for the day for returning home, then walked to the sofa and looked at the suit placed there.After looking at it for a while, he still put them in the closet, then took out his suit that didn't fit well, changed into it, and went out.

When he got downstairs, he realized that he didn't know the address of the Lin family's main house, and now he didn't know whether it was suitable to call Mrs. Lin. He hesitated and a black car parked for a long time came down next to him. After opening the car window, a person poked his head out, "You are Mr. Lin An, right?"

Lin An was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "It's me."

The man got out of the car quickly, and opened the rear door for him, "I was sent by the Lin family to pick you up, please get in the car."

Lin An hesitated for a moment before sitting up, "Thank you."

The driver started the car and introduced to him, "It's an hour and a half drive away from the destination. You can take a rest first. I'll call you when you get there."

"Okay." Lin An was touched by this considerate service.He couldn't sleep because he couldn't sleep, so he kept looking at the gradually receding scenery outside the window, his fingers tightened nervously again.The driver seemed to be aware of his mood, turned on the car player and played soothing music.

No more, no less, exactly one and a half hours, the car drove into a huge villa.The five-storey building, imitating a European-style castle building, has a large lawn outside, a swimming pool in the middle, and a fountain at the gate.

There is also a long flowerbed under the wall, full of fiery red roses, which are blooming brightly at the moment, like a red cloud from a distance.

As soon as Lin An got out of the car, someone greeted him. It was a serious-looking middle-aged man who stretched out his arms to guide him inside.Lin An plucked up the courage to step into the place that he should never have entered in his whole life, his back was tense and stiff, and his forehead was dripping with sweat.

Fortunately, the first person I met was Mrs. Lin. She was as gentle and kind as ever, and she dragged him to see Grandpa Lin. Lin An said hello. Grandpa Lin stared at him for a long time, nodded and told him to sit down. I asked him some irrelevant questions, and went to see others again.

Many people slowly came to the villa, and Mrs. Lin didn't have time to greet him, so she let him wander around by herself.Lin An didn't dare to go any further, so he found a seat in the corner and sat down restrainedly.The unfamiliar atmosphere made him a little uncomfortable, and after a while, some searching eyes shot over, and gradually someone started talking in a low voice.He felt that his state of mind was wrong, and he felt that every word others said was talking about himself, and he fell into an embarrassing situation for himself. He wished that he had not appeared here before, but there was a pleasure of lingering himself rising from the bottom of his heart. .

Regarding his life experience, in fact, he is the most painful person in the world.Both Lin Xian and Lin Wei can find a target to hate, but he can only accept and bear it.The one who did something wrong is the mother who gave birth to him. He is the result of that mistake. He and the mistake are one, and there is no way to give up and discard it.

From the moment he knew about it, he despised himself.That's why when Lin Wei said he was innocent, he felt that there was no way he could be innocent.

He fell into a tense and depressed mood and couldn't extricate himself, until a soft voice came, which brought him back to reality.

Tuantuan moved towards him with small steps and called out in surprise, "Uncle Xiao'an!"

Lin An caught him, hugged him around his neck, and said happily, "Dad said you're here, you didn't lie to me, you're really here."

Lin An smiled at him, and couldn't help but look up at Lin Wei. Lin Wei looked a little unhappy, her brows were wrinkled, and she quickly returned to her expressionless face.He was wearing a high-end suit and his hair was specially done, making him look more handsome than usual.

Tuantuan took Lin An's hand and walked towards the crowd, "Look for Mom, tell Uncle Xiao An." He spoke in a mess, but Lin An understood that he was going to introduce himself to his mother. Although his heart was heavy, he still followed him.

This is an inevitable process, and it is also the purpose of his coming today.

Tuantuan quickly found his mother and tugged at her long skirt.Liu Xi was talking with someone, but soon noticed her son's movements, she squatted down, "Tuantuan, what's wrong?"

Tuantuan pointed to the person next to him, smiled and said to his mother, "Look, it's Uncle Xiao'an."

Liu Xi quickly stood up, looked up to see Lin An, and stretched out her hand gracefully, "Hello, I'm Liu Xi, and I'm Lin Yang's mother."

Lin An looked at her, startled, stretched out his hand nervously and shook her lightly, "Hello, my name is Lin An." He didn't know how to introduce his embarrassing identity, Liu Xi had already laughed "Well, I know you. Tuantuan told me many times on the phone that you are very good to him. Of course, I know other things too." There was no trace of disdain on her face, her smile was sincere, and she suddenly Looking at Lin Wei, he asked inexplicably, "Is that right?"

Lin Wei stood beside her, and she held his wrist. The two of them looked good in the crowd, and they looked very suitable when they stood together.

Lin An's expression became a little stiff, and his straight back was covered with sweat.The living room was so noisy, but he seemed to hear the sound of his heart breaking into pieces.

Unprecedented pain filled his heart, the reality he saw with his own eyes was greater than all his fantasies, covering everything, tearing him bloody.

What Liu Xi said, he didn't listen to the first few sentences, and the voice behind slowly entered the eardrums, "...Thank you for taking care of Tuantuan, let's make an appointment for dinner together next time. I'm really sorry, I always I'm very busy and neglect him, I'm too old, I can't take care of him when I'm busy with work, since he was born, it's actually Ah Wei who has taken care of him."

Lin An didn't know how to answer the conversation, and only noticed the crow's feet around her eyes when she heard her say she was old.Liu Xi sensed his doubts and did not hide it, "I am ten years older than Ah Wei, and I will be forty in a few years..." Seeing other acquaintances out of the corner of her eyes, she quickly apologized, "Sorry, I will leave for a while .”

Tuantuan waved to her obediently, "I'm playing with uncle." After speaking, he pulled Lin An outside, "Let's go see the dog."

Lin An was pulled by him through the crowd, walked outside the house, passed the corridor, followed the roses along the way, and then came to a small house.There was a dog barking in the small house, Tuantuan excitedly opened the door and brought Lin An in, and introduced in a low voice, "Mother Dog gave birth to five puppies the day before yesterday." Lin An had already seen the kennel, and the five little puppies The dogs were huddled together, huddled together, their eyes still half-closed, three black and white, one pure black and one pure white, no one could tell what breed it was.

Tuantuan squatted by the kennel, and introduced them to Lin An one by one, "This is Dahua, Erhua, Sanhua, Dabai and Xiaohei, the names my grandma asked me to name, is it nice?"

"It sounds good and is easy to remember."

Tuantuan smiled and nodded. They played here for a while, and Tuantuan took him to play on the slide again. "Grandma Grandma said it was put there because Tuantuan came. It was fun." In this villa, there is a The slide really didn't work, and Lin An could almost imagine how much effort the two old men of the Lin family had put in to attract the attention of their great-grandson.The two of them walked to the soft lawn, and within a short distance, they heard someone calling, "Yangyang."

As soon as Lin An heard this voice, his heart tightened and his body became stiff.Hearing this, Tuan Tuan raised his head in joy, and rushed towards the visitor, "Grandpa."

Lin Xian squatted down and hugged him, kissed his cheek, "What is Yang Yang doing here?"

"I'm taking Uncle Xiao An to play." Tuantuan broke away from him, ran over and pulled Lin An over, Lin An raised his head with difficulty, and said hello, "Mr. Lin."

Lin Xian stared at him blankly for a while, aware of Tuantuan's dependence on him, and couldn't figure out why Lin Wei would do this, but after so many years, his attitude towards Lin An was softer, but only indifferent With a "hmm", he continued to talk with the people around him, and gradually walked away.

Lin An breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

The slide installed by Lin's family is much bigger than Lin An imagined, it's like a small children's playground, not only the slide, but also a merry-go-round and a small relay train, there are already many children playing together.Tuantuan jumped up excitedly, but he didn't admit it, and soon got involved with other children.

Lin An was worried about his safety, so he stood beside him. After a while, he felt someone approaching. He turned his head to look, and it took him a while to recognize Huang Yuxuan.

Huang Yuxuan smiled at him, with a forced smile, "Lin An?"

"Yes, I didn't expect my sister to remember me." Lin An was a little surprised.

"I remember very clearly what happened at that time." Huang Yuxuan's face was a little pale, with only light makeup on her face, her hair was loosely tied behind her head, and her figure was even thinner.She suddenly asked, "Do you have time to sit with me?"

There was a seat for two on the lawn next to her, and Lin An followed her to sit down, and soon a waiter brought juice.Huang Yuxuan looked at the orange liquid, thought for a while, and then said, "I should apologize to you."

Lin An didn't know why.

Huang Yuxuan looked at him with guilt in her eyes, "Actually, that photo... was sent by me."

Lin An thought for a while before he realized which photo it was.He hesitated for a while, and asked, "Why?" He didn't understand why Huang Yuxuan would do this. In that photo, Lin Wei didn't show his face, and he couldn't be seen from the blurry back.

Huang Yuxuan smiled wryly, "I don't know, maybe it's because of jealousy."

Lin An was startled and closed his mouth tightly.

Did she really know that that person was Lin Wei?

"Lin Wei pays close attention to you. It seems that as long as you are there, he will be very enthusiastic towards me. Later, I saw that photo on my roommate's mobile phone and sent it out on purpose. I wanted him to see it, to let him see it. He sees clearly what kind of person you are." Huang Yuxuan sighed, "But everything is wrong now, he likes women, married and had children, then I have wronged you, everything a few years ago was all because of my overthinking gone."

Lin An was secretly relieved when he heard this, as long as it doesn't affect Lin Wei.

Huang Yuxuan stood up, bent down, and formally apologized to him, "Lin An, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

"It's okay, it's over." He didn't care about this matter back then, and after losing Lin Wei, he didn't care at all.

Huang Yuxuan sat down again, her smile was still a bit bleak, "Thank you for your understanding. I liked him very much back then, that's why I did such a wrong thing."

Lin An said: "It's understandable, he is a very good person."

"Really? If only I walked with him back then." Huang Yuxuan brushed the broken hair on her forehead, "But after he came back, he seemed to be a different person. His smile disappeared, his gentleness disappeared..." She was stunned "I'm married and my child is over two years old. In the past two years, I have gradually forgotten the feeling of liking him, but now he is doing this, I am still very sad, and I can't figure it out..."

Lin An didn't understand what she meant.

"After he came back, he made business decisions that were not good for my natal family or in-law's family. I wondered if he was targeting me, that's why he came here today...but he didn't talk to me much." Huang Yuxuan smiled wryly, There is melancholy in the eyes.

Lin An didn't understand these things, and he was not good at comforting others, so he just sat quietly and listened to her talk.Huang Yuxuan seemed to have found an outlet to vent her recent troubles. Only then did Lin An realize that it was Lin Wei who was suppressing Huang Yuxuan's natal and in-laws' businesses recently. Even if they met, Lin Wei didn't pay much attention to her, so she could only take the children to play here, and then wait for the opportunity to see if the matter can be resolved.
