endless city

Xu Zizheng never woke up, his breathing and heart rate were normal, but his consciousness was always in a coma, he seemed to be asleep.When his condition finally stabilized, Xu Shaoqian took him back to China and placed him in a private hospital with a good environment to continue observation and treatment.

It is already mid-February, the coldest winter has just passed, the thick snow on the streets has long since melted, and the cool air that is unique to the end of winter remains in the air.Xu Shaoqian sent the hair samples of the four members of the Xu family to Xiao Rang's forensic identification center, and asked Xiao Rang to do a paternity test, while he waited patiently outside.

The waiting process is undoubtedly a torment.

Xu Shaoqian has never doubted his own life experience. In his concept, the fourth uncle is his most respected and beloved elder, a precious existence like his father. Xu Shaobai and Xu Wan are the younger brothers and sisters he wants to protect. We don't have much time to meet each other, but what's rare is that the relationship has always been very good.

He never thought that this relationship would change.

However, at the moment when Xiao Rang finally took out the paternity test results, looking at the bright handwriting on the paper, Xu Shaoqian couldn't help but clenched his fingers stiffly.

Xu Zizheng, Xu Shaoqian, father-son relationship match.

Xu Zizheng, Xu Shaobai, the relationship between father and son does not match.

The accuracy rate of the DNA paternity test is as high as 99.99%. Judging from the results of this test, Xu Shaoqian is Xu Zizheng's real biological son!And Xu Shaobai has no blood relationship with Xu Zizheng at all!

——Why is this happening?

For so many years, Xu Shaoqian has long been used to being an orphan without father and mother, to visit his father's grave in the cemetery on Qingming Festival every year, and to be called "fourth uncle" and to be treated with care and support for himself. Xu Zizheng is full of respect and gratitude.

But now, the ridiculous fact is starkly before him - the man he has called fourth uncle for more than 20 years is actually his biological father? !He is not an orphan without father and mother at all, let alone a nephew adopted by his fourth uncle. So he has always grown up by his biological father? !

How many people know about this matter?Why did Xu Zizheng deliberately conceal it?

When Xu Shaoqian was sad because of the death of his parents when he was a child, when he was sad when he saw that other classmates had parents with him but only had an uncle... Xu Zizheng, how could he bear it... how could he always With a calm face, the young Xu Shaoqian called him... fourth uncle?

Looking at the simple characters "Parent and Son Match" on the appraisal result, Xu Shaoqian only felt a tingling pain in his chest.He had no idea that his most respected relative had been lying to him all this time!

Seeing Xu Shaoqian's ugly face, Xiao Rang couldn't help but walked over, and lightly patted Xu Shaoqian on the shoulder, "Shaoqian, what do you plan to do next?"

Xu Shaoqian took a deep breath, let himself calm down quickly, stood up from the sofa, and said in a low voice: "He is unconscious now, and I can't find him to confirm. If I want to know the truth back then, it seems that I have to go to your house .”

Xiao Rang asked, "You want to ask my mother for verification?"

Xu Shaoqian nodded, "Aunt should know what happened 20 years ago."

Xiao Rang thought for a while and said, "Okay, I just got off work, so let's go with you."

When the two arrived home, Xu Jiahui was reading in the study, Xiao Rang knocked on her door and said, "Mom, Shaoqian has something to ask you."

Xu Jiahui looked up in surprise, "Shaoqian? Why are you here?"

Xu Shaoqian walked into the room, stopped talking nonsense, put the result of the paternity test directly in front of her, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, Shaobai is not the son of the fourth uncle, but I am his own. Do you know about this matter?" ?”

The Xu Jiahui in front of her used to be the police chief of the Xilin City Police Headquarters. The Xilin City Police led by her has controlled the security of the entire city and protected the safety of all citizens for many years.Although she has already retired early, she still has the capable temperament of a policeman.

Xu Jiahui glanced at his son coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Rang, you did the paternity test for Shaoqian? Don't you know that it's illegal for you to do a paternity test in private?!"

Xiao Rang frowned and said, "Mom, do you think this kind of thing can be kept secret for the rest of your life?"

Xu Jiahui was silent, her face was a little ugly.

Xu Shaoqian said calmly: "Auntie, I am an adult now, no matter what happened back then, I think I have the right to know all the truth."

His voice was calm and deep, even hard to refuse.

Xu Jiahui was silent for a long time, finally stood up, nodded and said: "I can tell you everything, anyway, with your ability, it will only be a matter of time before you find out all the truth." After a pause, he looked up at Xu Shaoqian and said, "Shaoqian, I'm afraid that after you know the truth, you will no longer have the same respect for your fourth uncle... no, it's your affection for your father..."

Xu Jiahui took out a photo album from a locked drawer, and unfolded it in front of Xu Shaoqian.

"This is a group photo of all of our Xu family on your grandfather's [-]th birthday many years ago. The second row from left to right is me, Jiaying, Ziming and Zizheng."

Xu Jiahui pointed to the child who was held in the arms of the old man in the photo, "This is you, you at that time, just turned one year old."

The Xu family's generation has four children, Xu Jiahui, Xu Jiaying, Xu Ziming and Xu Zizheng.Xu Zizheng is the youngest, but his personality is the most like his father. As the fourth young master of the Xu family, he has shown excellent business talent at a young age, so he is very popular with Mr. Xu.

Xu Shaoqian's birth was an accident.

At that time, Xu Zizheng was only 20 years old and had not yet graduated from university. He fell in love with a wealthy daughter at first sight, but the other party was Jiang Hua, the daughter of the Xu family's rival Jiang family. Due to family pressure, they could only secretly be together.

The endless struggle between the two families makes the relationship between the two as strong but desperate as they are living in the cracks. Young people are prone to act impulsively under such circumstances. The two have Shaoqian by accident, and the woman The parents were very angry when they found out, and they sent Jiang Hua abroad forcibly. Jiang Yucheng thought it was an extremely shameful act for his daughter to do such a thing. The Jiang family didn't want this child at all, so they threw the baby Shaoqian directly to Xu Zizheng.

Xu Zizheng was too young at the time, and he didn't dare to bring Shaoqian, an illegitimate son, home to anger his seriously ill father, so Xu Ziming took the initiative to suggest that Xu Shaoqian be temporarily brought back to Xu's family as his own son to be raised.Xu Ziming's wife has been abroad, saying that Shaoqian is his son, and it is easy to get away with it. After a few years, Mr. Xu's health is better, and the Jiang family's anger subsides, and then tell the truth and bring Shaoqian's mother back. .

Xu Zizheng had no choice but to agree with his elder brother's suggestion. In this way, Xiao Shaoqian was taken back to Xu's family as Xu Ziming's son, and Xu Ziming's name was temporarily written on the father's household registration book.

"Later, a lot of things happened. Your biological mother, Jiang Hua, was forced to marry after she went abroad. She didn't come back until you were seven years old. Your parents were finally able to get married officially. They planned to tell you the truth. Unexpectedly, in that year, Your grandfather died of a serious illness, and he handed over the inheritance rights of the Emerald Family to your father Xu Zizheng. In a rage, your uncle Xu Ziming directly swept away a large amount of funds from the Emerald Family, and caused a car accident in retaliation. Your mother also died. In that car accident."

"At that time, you were already seven years old. You always thought that your father was Xu Ziming, and you were also used to being called Xu Zizheng, the fourth uncle. But in fact, Jiang Hua, the new wife of the fourth uncle you only met once, was in a car accident. The woman who protects you with her body from time to time is your biological mother."

"Zizheng didn't dare to tell you. He was afraid that you would hate him, so he made the mistake and brought you back to him as the fourth uncle. The longer time passes, the more you get used to calling him fourth uncle, the harder it is for him to say Reveal the truth of the year."

"Shaobai and Xiaowan are your half-brothers and sisters. Jiang Hua gave birth to them after marrying abroad. After their father died unexpectedly, Jiang Hua took the children back to China. If they are indebted, they will be taken back to the Xu family to raise them."

"The entire Xu family...Only you are Xu Zizheng's biological son."

Xu Shaoqian didn't know in what mood he left his aunt's house. He drove aimlessly in the city and drove into the cemetery without knowing it.

There is a familiar tombstone in the cemetery, on which is the portrait of Xu Ziming.For many years, no matter how busy Xu Shaoqian was, he would buy a bouquet of flowers every year on Ching Ming Festival to commemorate this so-called "father".

But in fact, Xu Ziming didn't die at all.He caused a car accident in which he faked his death, left a tombstone in the country where the ashes of an unknown person were buried, then changed his name and surname, swept away almost all the funds of the Xu family, and went abroad alone.

Not far from Xu Ziming's tombstone, there is another tombstone, on which is a young and beautiful woman, engraved with the words "Tomb of Beloved Wife Jianghua".Xu Shaoqian always remembered that when the car accident happened that year, it was this "aunt" who had only met once who protected him with his body. Therefore, besides respect for his fourth uncle, he always had a sense of guilt.

He never thought that this person would be his biological mother.What's more, he didn't expect that his biological mother, Xu Ziming, whom he had always regarded as his father and who visited the grave on time every year, caused a car accident and killed her.

The so-called truth is simply ridiculous.

But Xu Shaoqian stood in front of the tombstone, but couldn't laugh at all.

His life of more than 20 years has actually been lived in a deception.

The fourth uncle I respect the most is my biological father, but the man who thinks he is his father is the murderer who killed his biological mother.Back then, the grievances between the Xu family and the Jiang family, and the struggle for power within the Xu family caused a ridiculous disaster. The uncle went abroad with money, the Emerald family almost went bankrupt, and his biological mother died in a car accident... These dramatic past events, unexpectedly happened It's unbelievable that it happened to me.

Xu Shaoqian didn't know what to say, so he could only remain silent.

As for Xu Zizheng who was still in a coma, he didn't know how to treat him.

At that time, Xu Ziming faked his death, changed his name and surname, and took away a large amount of money from the Xu family. The Xu family was emptied out of debt and almost on the verge of bankruptcy. Under such circumstances, Xu Zizheng turned the tide by himself and supported everyone in the Xu family. This man's ruthless methods in the mall are indeed admirable.

However, towards his wife and son...he didn't fulfill the slightest responsibility at all.

He told Xu Shaoqian since he was a child that if you like someone in the future, you must spoil him to the sky. A smart man knows how to protect his lover, and only the most stupid man will make the person he loves sad.

Xu Zizheng was the stupidest man ever. He sent the woman he loved the most to go abroad for seven years, and eventually even died for him; recognize each other.

Fourth uncle... Dad...?

How should I face him in the future...and how should I call him?

Xu Shaoqian clenched his fists fiercely in front of the tombstone, his nails pierced deeply into his palm, but he couldn't feel the slightest pain.

I don’t know when it suddenly snowed in the sky. The last snow of this winter, the fine snowflakes danced in the sky one after another, but when they fell on the ground, they immediately turned into rainwater because of the high temperature of the ground, as if those snowflakes in the air The flying snowflakes are just hallucinations produced in a trance.

Xu Shaoqian stood in the snow for a long, long time.

The coat on his body was already drenched, but he didn't notice it at all. He didn't wake up from the heavy memory until night fell and the surrounding street lights were all turned on. He took a last look at Xu Ziming on the tombstone, He turned and left the cemetery blankly.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening when we drove back to Yuehu Community, the lights of the villa next door were on, and An Yan was obviously at home.

Through the layers of snow and fog, the warm yellow light in the villa became hazy, but it was such a faint light that made Xu Shaoqian's cold heart suddenly feel warm.

An Yan is at home...

Xu Shaoqian took out the key almost without hesitation and opened the door of An Yan's house.

An Yan was watching TV in the living room, when he heard the door being opened suddenly, he immediately jumped up from the sofa angrily when he saw the person coming, walked up to Xu Shaoqian and stared at him fiercely: "Xu Shaoqian! Why do you have the key to my house! ? You lunatic! You are simply breaking into a private house! You %￥#%#... um..."

Before An Yan finished speaking, his lips were suddenly blocked.

Different from the domineering forced kisses before, this time, Xu Shaoqian leaned over, and the kiss that fell on An Yan's lips was very soft, such a soft kiss, like a feather gliding gently over his lips, could be parted with one touch, It seems to be just a trance illusion.

The man who had stood outside for a long time was drenched all over his body, and even his lips carried the cold temperature of the last snow in winter.

"Don't talk..." Xu Shaoqian blocked An Yan's angry curse with a gentle kiss, then stretched out his arms, hugged An Yan gently, and whispered in his ear, "Let me hug you , it will be fine in a while..."

His movements were painfully soft, and his voice was hoarse with exhaustion.

The man who broke into the room suddenly tightened his arms as if he wanted to absorb warmth. The body temperature from his body was terribly cold, as if it had condensed the last chill of this winter.

An Yan stood there in a daze, for a moment, he forgot to struggle.
